Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1450 - 610: Aggressive Warmongering and Internal Hollowing

"Why doesn’t Shopkeeper Zhou go personally?"

Upon sweeping with his divine sense, Li Yunjing found he couldn’t see through what was inside the box, and his heart immediately became alert.

"Alas..."

Shopkeeper Zhou Dehai smiled bitterly, "’Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’ has been targeted recently, every move I make is watched. But Steward Li has just arrived..."

"Really?"

Li Yunjing raised his eyebrows and asked, "I heard that ’Sunken Star Island’ is a trade island, and the law enforcement on the island is good!"

"Alas! Don’t mention it!"

The smile on Zhou Dehai’s face became even more bitter, and he lowered his voice to explain, "Isn’t it because of the war with ’East Sea Alliance’? The ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ has withdrawn half of the stationed troops on the island and sent them to the front line!"

"Another portion has been transferred back to ’Celestial Net Island.’"

"Plus, other places also need manpower, and the remaining cultivators are being mobilized repeatedly. It’s unclear why they’ve been deployed near the ’Burial Island’ area."

When Zhou Dehai said this, Li Yunjing’s eyes lit up.

He came this time seeking an opportunity to go near ’Burial Island’ to observe closely and discern what the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ is up to.

Just as Li Yunjing wanted to learn more, suddenly urgent footsteps were heard outside the door.

A clerk rushed in frantically: "Shopkeeper! People from the ’Justice Alliance’ are causing trouble in the front hall, claiming we’re selling fake goods!"

Zhou Dehai’s face changed drastically; he hurriedly stuffed the jade box to Li Yunjing: "This item is of great importance, please..."

"Bang!"

The inner door was kicked open, and three furious cultivators in white robes stormed in.

The leader’s cold gaze lingered on the jade box in Li Yunjing’s hand for a moment, sneering, "Shopkeeper Zhou, is this the ’no goods’ you mentioned?"

"Fellow Daoist, forcibly interrupting people’s discussions isn’t proper conduct, is it?"

Li Yunjing remained unchanged, casually storing the jade box into his storage ring and said calmly.

"Conduct?"

The leading white-robed cultivator sneered, "On ’Sunken Star Island,’ our ’Justice Alliance’ is the conduct! Kid, hand over the stuff if you don’t want to die!"

"Misunderstanding!"

Zhou Dehai hurriedly tried to mediate: "This is Steward Li from ’Wuya Gate,’ and the box is..."

"Shut up!"

The white-robed cultivator suddenly launched a black light directly at Zhou Dehai’s throat!

In a flash, a golden light flew from Li Yunjing’s sleeve, "Ding," knocking down the black light.

Everyone saw it was a poisoned black needle.

The atmosphere in the inner chamber instantly became tense.

Li Yunjing slowly stood up, spiritual power surging around him: "Looks like today, Mr. Li needs to clean up some wild dogs for Shopkeeper Zhou."

After analyzing, Li Yunjing decided to intervene. This Shopkeeper Zhou seems useful and cannot lose this connection.

At the same time, Li Yunjing gained a deep understanding of the current situation on ’Sunken Star Island.’

It seems that ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ is conscripting troops everywhere to send them to the front line, with immense pressure, leading even their own rear to openly violate ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’s established regulation.

This indicates that the situation isn’t as bad as imagined!

As long as the ’East Sea Alliance’ holds on, they can definitely weaken the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect.’

This news filled Li Yunjing’s heart with hope.

After coming to the ’Celestial Net Sea Region,’ this was the second good news he received.

Upon hearing this, the white-robed cultivators were furious and about to act when a crisp bell sound was suddenly heard from outside.

Their expressions changed dramatically, glaring fiercely at Li Yunjing: "Kid, we’ll see!"

With that, they hurriedly left.

Li Yunjing looked thoughtfully out of the window.

He saw a patrol squad of the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ appearing on the street.

Clearly, no matter their decline, no one dared to flout the rules in their presence.

"Still lacking some experience, huh!"

Li Yunjing thought secretly in his heart.

After the ’Justice Alliance’ members hurriedly left, Zhou Dehai let out a long breath, quickly bowing deeply to Li Yunjing: "Today, many thanks to Steward Li for saving me; otherwise, this old man’s life..."

"Shopkeeper Zhou is too courteous; it’s merely a slight effort."

Li Yunjing dismissed him with a wave, interrupting, "It’s just..."

He looked significantly out the window, "This ’Justice Alliance’ dared to act so brazenly in broad daylight, it seems that the situation on ’Sunken Star Island’ is more chaotic than imagined."

"Doesn’t the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ intervene?"

Zhou Dehai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, signaled the maid to serve tea again, and whispered, "Steward Li may not know, this ’Justice Alliance’ appears to be a Loose Cultivator Alliance, but actually..."

He glanced around and lowered his voice further, "There’s a shadow of the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ Elder behind them!"

"Oh?"

Li Yunjing’s pupils contracted slightly: "Shopkeeper Zhou, are you sure?"

"Absolutely!"

Zhou Dehai sighed, "Three months ago, the supreme elder stationed on ’Sunken Star Island’ supported the ’Justice Alliance’ secretly to create chaos in the rear, aiming to cleanse disobedient business houses under the pretext of opportunity."

"Even though our ’Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’ is so compliant, we’re still targeted!"

Zhou Dehai gritted his teeth, "It’s because our business is good that some people are envious."

"Alas... Didn’t expect Shopkeeper Zhou’s life to be so difficult."

Li Yunjing was thoughtful: "Then this jade box..."

"Contains good stuff!"

Zhou Dehai’s eyes flashed brightly, "I initially wanted to deliver it to the ’Heavenly Star Pavilion’ Pavilion Master during the auction three days later; he’s the second elder’s associate in the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’..."

"Didn’t expect, on ’Sunken Star Island’ there are connections everywhere!"

Li Yunjing felt an inner joy, unexpectedly saving a person casually led him to such a big fish.

He pretended to ponder: "Shopkeeper Zhou, do you trust Mr. Li that much?"
