Chapter 2282 The Curtain Falls, Tianmeng Mountain's Number One Sect

"Fellow Daoists, what just happened was truly unexpected."

Qin Chuan, who was in charge of liaising with the Longevity Immortal Sect, finally spoke up at this moment, breaking the awkwardness of the situation.

Upon hearing this, the experts from Yaoguang Cave also spoke up.

"Yes, yes, we never expected that our little squabbles as juniors would provoke a confrontation between the two seniors. What a surprise!"

"Who says otherwise? This is all a misunderstanding. Please forgive me, fellow Daoists of the Longevity Immortal Sect!"

"That's right, we are actually congratulating the Longevity Immortal Sect this time. Congratulations to the Longevity Immortal Sect for becoming the number one sect in the Tianmeng Mountains."

"That's right! From now on, all cultivation resources in the Tianmeng Mountains will be at the disposal of your Changsheng Immortal Sect. Our Yaoguang Cave will explain this matter to the other sects in the Tianmeng Mountains!"

The powerful figures of Yaoguang Cave all expressed their goodwill.

Chen Xuan, who had been silent all along, was suddenly speechless.

"These guys are really opportunistic. If that senior hadn't intervened and startled the Five Ancestors of Yaoguang Cave with his shout, they would probably be riding roughshod over us by now!"

"But now, they have suddenly changed their tune, not only proclaiming our Longevity Immortal Sect as the number one sect in the Tianmeng Mountains, but also taking the initiative to curry favor with us!"

"Hehe, it seems that the senior who stood up for our Longevity Immortal Sect must be quite powerful!"

Upon thinking of this, Chen Xuan felt an immense sense of joy.

Xu Mo and the others were already beaming with joy.

However, no one immediately expressed their opinion.

All eyes turned to Cui Yuntian.

"Hehe, I understand what Yaoguang Cave means."

"Is Yaoguang Cave trying to make our Changsheng Immortal Sect the number one sect in the Tianmeng Mountains?"

Cui Yuntian smiled faintly.

His question seemed to have no problem at all.

However, Qin Chuan and the others all had drastic changes in expression.

Chen Xuan couldn't fathom what these old guys were thinking.

But Chen Xuan could tell that Cui Yuntian must have had another reason for asking the question.

"What do you mean by that, Fellow Daoist Cui?" Qin Chuan asked immediately.

"Hehe, my meaning is very simple. Our Longevity Immortal Sect is undoubtedly the number one sect in the Tianmeng Mountains!"

"But, it is not the Longevity Immortal Sect under your Yaoguang Cave, do you understand?"

"Over the years, our Longevity Immortal Sect has not received any benefits from your Yaoguang Cave!"

"Fellow Daoist Qin, and Fairy Bingling, as Yao Guang Envoys stationed in the Tianmeng Mountains, you should be very aware that what I'm saying is true, right?"

Cui Yuntian's words made the expressions of the Yaoguang Cave experts turn extremely ugly.

If they agree to Cui Yuntian's request now, then Yaoguang Cave will be out of Yaoguang Cave's control from now on.

If they don't agree, who can withstand the wrath of the powerful figure who just startled the Five Ancestors of Yaoguang Cave if he really wants to support the Changsheng Immortal Sect?

For a moment, all the experts in Yaoguang Cave fell silent.

After a long silence, Qin Chuan finally spoke first.

"Fellow Daoist Cui, this matter is indeed beyond my authority. Please wait a moment while I discuss it with my sect!"

"Alright!"

Cui Yuntian readily nodded.

With that powerful figure's intervention intimidating them, the Longevity Immortal Sect felt much more confident.

After all, the senior who shouted back the five ancestors of Yaoguang Cave was even stronger than the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Even if all five Grand Luo Golden Immortal Ancestors of Yaoguang Cave were to attack together, they might not be able to destroy the Changsheng Immortal Sect.

If that's the case, what does the Immortal Cultivation Sect have to fear?

hum!

Qin Chuan took out a communication jade talisman.

After saying a few words, he was immediately inspired.

Soon, the communication jade talisman disappeared into the void.

……

Inside the council hall of Yaoguang Cave.

At this moment, Zuo Lingtian, one of the five patriarchs of Yaoguang Cave, was sitting in the middle of the group.

After all, he was the head of the Five Ancestors of Yaoguang Cave.

His cultivation level had also reached the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Looking at the entire Tiannan True Immortal Realm, he can be considered one of the top experts.

On his left and right sat three powerful figures: Liu Jingyun, Xu Changshou, and Li Yao.

The three of them are the Second Ancestor, the Third Ancestor, and the Fourth Ancestor!

Their cultivation levels, like those of the Five Ancestors who suffered great losses in the Longevity Immortal Sect, were generally at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"Just now, I received a secret report from the Tianmeng Mountains."

"It is said that the fifth brother was seriously injured by a strange powerhouse at the Longevity Immortal Sect in the Tianmeng Mountains."

"Heh heh, the Longevity Immortal Sect is taking this opportunity to make outrageous demands. They plan to take the Tianmeng Mountain Range and break free from the control of our Yaoguang Cave!"

What are your thoughts on this matter?

Zuo Lingtian smiled calmly.

For a powerful cultivator like him, who is at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the Tianmeng Mountains, a place with extremely scarce cultivation resources, are dispensable.

Not worth mentioning at all.

However, Liu Jingyun, Xu Changshou, and Li Yao all frowned slightly after hearing this.

"Fifth Brother is at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. How could he have been injured? This is simply unbelievable!"

"Yes, a genius expert did emerge from the Tianmeng Mountains back then. He made a name for himself even in the Central Plains. Could it be that he is the one who attacked Fifth Brother at this moment?"

"For so many years, Fifth Prince has been sending people to carry out big operations in the Tianmeng Mountains. In fact, I've heard that I've set up an extremely powerful ancient formation, making the entire Tianmeng Mountains completely self-contained. It seems Fifth Prince knows something. As for whether or not to make the Tianmeng Mountains independent, we'd like to hear my opinion!"

Hearing everyone's suggestions, Zuo Lingtian immediately nodded.

"Hmm. I will consider what you have said. The important thing is to hear what the Fifth Prince himself has to say!"

"If there really is a powerful expert in the Tianmeng Mountains who can severely injure the Fifth Brother, we must be more cautious!"

"Even if it means giving up the Tianmeng Mountains, we will not hesitate!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yao immediately nodded and said, "What Senior Brother says is absolutely right. In that case, I will contact this old man right away and ask about the situation!"

As she spoke, Li Yao flipped her hand and took out a communication jade talisman, throwing it into the void.

Then, a mysterious incantation was cast onto the communication jade talisman.

hum!

In the void, a huge light screen suddenly appeared before everyone.

Not long ago, Liu Wen, the fifth patriarch of Yaoguang Cave, who had been driven away by a shout in the Changsheng Immortal Sect, also appeared on Chen Faguang's screen.

"Senior Sister, what brings you to me at this hour? I have urgent matters to attend to!"

Liu Wen's eyes flickered, as if he desperately wanted to sever his connection with Li Yao.

Upon seeing this, Li Yao immediately laughed and said, "Fifth brother, I heard that you went to the Tianmeng Mountains this time. How come you returned to your cave so soon to begin your secluded cultivation?"

"This... Senior Sister's information network is quite impressive. This time, I..."

"Hehe, did you suffer some losses in the Tianmeng Mountains? You've been managing the Tianmeng Mountains all by yourself these past few years!"

"Hey……"

Liu Wen sighed softly. His expression turned extremely grim.

After a long while, he began to explain.

"Senior sister, you may not know this, but the reason I went to the Tianmeng Mountains this time was to teach those ants there a lesson!"

"I never imagined that there would be a powerful expert in the Tianmeng Mountains who is far stronger than me and is in seclusion."

"I unintentionally disturbed this powerful figure and was severely injured by him!"

"If they hadn't spared my life, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made it back alive this time!"

As Liu Wen finished speaking, his expression turned extremely ugly.

Zuo Lingtian and the others were also shocked when they heard this.

"Fifth Brother, you were indeed injured in the Tianmeng Mountains?"

"The person who could severely injure you must be at least as powerful as you. Are you sure he's a senior?"

"This is simply unbelievable. When did such a powerful expert appear in the Tianmeng Mountains?"

Everyone was stunned at that moment.

Only Zuo Lingtian, the leader of the Five Ancestors of Yaoguang Cave, was able to remain calm for the time being.

After a long silence, Zuo Lingtian couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Ah, no wonder the Longevity Immortal Sect dared to make such a huge demand on our Yaoguang Cave this time."

"I never imagined they could find such a powerful person to help them!"

"It seems that all of this is fate."

At this point, Zuo Lingtian's cold voice rang out.

"Fifth Brother, over the years you have spared no effort in expending enormous manpower and resources to find that powerful figure who came out of the Tianmeng Mountains!"

"Furthermore, we will isolate the Tianmeng Mountains from the True Immortal Realm and make them an independent entity!"

"I never asked you why you did this before. But for now, let's leave it at that!"

"You know very well that your desire to find that person's legacy is simply a pipe dream!"

"Furthermore, another powerful figure has emerged in the Tianmeng Mountains. Moreover, he is able to stand up for the Changsheng Immortal Sect. Our Yaoguang Cave can no longer treat the Tianmeng Mountains as before."

"Just as the Longevity Immortal Sect says, give the entire Tianmeng Mountain Range to the Longevity Immortal Sect."

"From this day forward, our Yaoguang Cave will no longer interfere in the affairs of the Tianmeng Mountains!"

As Zuo Lingtian finished speaking, his expression became extremely complicated.

Soon, he looked at Liu Wen with dissatisfaction.

"Fifth brother, from this moment on, you will be in seclusion within the sect. Don't even think about coming out for at least a million years!"

"This... Senior Brother, what do you mean? You want me to go into seclusion and cultivate for a million years? That's practically confining me to my quarters!"

Liu Wen's expression changed drastically.

Although he was a powerful expert at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

He was not sensitive to the passage of time.

However, he was forced to go into seclusion and cultivate for a million years without ever leaving.

This is worse than killing him.

"Hmph! Don't I know what you've done? This time, I've already shown leniency!"

"If you still don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Although our Yaoguang Cave has some strength in the Southern Immortal Realm, it is utterly insignificant in the entire True Immortal Realm!"

"I certainly don't want you to bring about the destruction of our Yaoguang Cave!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Wen's expression turned extremely ugly.

But he also knew that since it was Zuo Lingtian who made the decision.

Even the pleas of everyone present on his behalf were to no avail.

"Yes, Senior Brother. From this moment on, I will go into seclusion for one million years. I will not emerge until the time is up. You will be in charge of handling matters concerning the Tianmeng Mountains!"
