Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

Chapter 321: The Saint Sect Is Still the Same Saint Sect

In the Mystic Spirit Realm, inside the Lingxiao Hall.

The expression of the man in splendid robes changed slightly. He immediately issued an order, striking the great bell. Before long, streaks of light flew in succession toward the Lingxiao Hall.

These were all high-level officials of the Heavenly Court.

All of them were Earth Immortals—nine in total at this moment—and their auras were surging with power. If they were placed in Jiangnan or Jiangbei, they would each be a Grandmaster in the late Foundation Establishment Realm!

”Greetings, Heavenly Official!”

The nine Earth Immortals saluted in unison. In the entire Heavenly Court, only the 【Three Immortal Officials】 had Celestial Immortal cultivation. Presently, only the Heavenly Official had returned to position; the other two seats remained vacant.

”【Metal of Shen】 has changed hands.”

The man in ornate robes did not delay, speaking directly, ”The agent we developed earlier, Qi He, has likely been exposed. The original plan needs to be revised.”

At this statement, the Earth Immortals were all shocked: ”Heavenly Official...”

”No need to say more,” the man in robes waved his hand firmly. ”My mind is made up. If we delay any further, the other side might launch an attack!”

Cultivators from the 【Mystic Spirit Realm】 were by no means fools.

Especially those adept at crossing boundaries—they were very experienced in invading other realms. They knew precisely what could and couldnʼt be done.

Therefore, long ago, the 【Mystic Spirit Realm】 had discovered the mass graveʼs existence but chose not to act recklessly. Instead, they quietly infiltrated, developing agents and gathering intelligence on Jiangnan and Jiangbei. The result? The more they learned, the more terrified they became. Just what kind of bizarre place was this Jiangnan and Jiangbei?

Thirty full fruit positions!?

This single piece of information made the 【Mystic Spirit Realm】 completely abandon their plans for invasion, changing their strategy to plunder—strike and retreat swiftly.

And the 【Metal of Shen】 was one of the resources they valued the most.

”Letʼs act ahead of schedule. I will personally lead the team.”

”Eliminate Yu Shao and seize the 【Metal of Shen】!”

The man in robes said gravely, ”Do not worry. I have already reported to the Supreme. The Supreme will personally intervene to shield us, ensuring no accidents occur.”

Hearing this, the Earth Immortals could only withdraw helplessly.

‘The Heavenly Official... is moving too fast!’

‘Then again, it’s understandable. Yu Shao’s betrayal has massive repercussions. If the other side also has a Supreme, they could trace us using him...’

‘But the focus on the 【Metal of Shen】... is a bit excessive.’

‘Could the rumors be true? That the Supreme ascended hastily, their cultivation unstable, requiring external Qi to stabilize their position in the Heavenly Court?’

‘Shh—watch your words!’

Although filled with doubt, none of the Earth Immortals dared slack off and began preparations at once.

Meanwhile, Lu Yang was completely unaware of the changes occurring in the Mystic Spirit Realm.

At that moment, he was deep within the mass grave, inside a grand hall. The confrontation with Qi He had been an unexpected event, and naturally could not be concealed.

What surprised him, however, was that the one overseeing the mass grave for the Saint Sect turned out to be someone familiar—someone he had encountered once overseas in his previous life. His name was 【Jun Tong】, a Grandmaster under 【Zengcai Qiluo True Lord】, also a promising candidate for achieving the Great Foundation Establishment.

”So, youʼre Yuan Tu?”

On the grand seat, Jun Tong’s expression was indifferent, with a hint of a smile. ”Although Chong Guang mentioned you to me, he never said you were this bold.”

”Attacking a Saint Sect Grandmaster in the mass grave?”

”What Saint Sect Grandmaster? This man has long colluded with the 【Mystic Spirit Realm】.”

Lu Yang smiled calmly and tossed the barely breathing Qi He to the ground, then produced the intelligence Chen Xinʼan had extracted from him.

Jun Tong was indifferent at first—until he saw the intelligence and the strange, seductive appearance of Qi He despite his aged face.

”...Hoh!”
