My Master Knows It All-Chapter 1400 - 334_5

However, if Junior Brother wishes to become the Grand Elder, he must accomplish significant deeds.

Previously, news arrived at just the right time—Junior Brother achieving the Golden Core Period Limit now seems almost as though Heaven itself is aiding him.

Not long after, the Bleeding Tears Sect Leader contacted two rival sects of the Hundred Peaks Sect, the Void Breaking Sect and the Soul Breaking Sect.

Within the Sect Leader’s great hall, the Bleeding Tears Sect Leader gazed at the massive Water Mirror Light Curtain, where the figures of the Void Breaking Sect and Soul Breaking Sect Hierarchs appeared. With a deliberate tone, he began: "Both of your sects harbor grudges against the Hundred Peaks Sect and Cao Zhen. One of you saw your branch destroyed, and the other lost a Golden Core Period Limit expert to Cao Zhen’s hand.

And yet, you’ve done nothing until now. Where is the dignity of your sects? Of course, I understand your hesitations—you’re waiting for the end of the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, for the awakening of your Earth Immortal Realm experts before acting against Cao Zhen.

I have no doubt that once your formidable predecessors awaken, you can vanquish the Hundred Peaks Sect.

But so what? Those predecessors of yours will only remark on your unworthiness as Hierarchs, for being toyed with by the Sect Leader of a small Eastern Wasteland sect!

Do you think the elders of your great sects will not view you as incompetent?"

From within the Water Mirror Light Curtain, the Soul Breaking Sect Leader sneered coldly: "Don’t point fingers at us. Didn’t your Bleeding Tears Sect’s Xue Miu die at Cao Zhen’s hands? And yet, your sect hasn’t acted until now either."

The Bleeding Tears Sect Leader did not lose his composure in response but displayed a sinister grin. "That is precisely why we are preparing to take action."

The Soul Breaking Sect Leader burst out laughing derisively: "Action? Against whom? Are you planning to invade the Hundred Peaks Sect with its two cultivators at Golden Core Period Limit? Or is it Cao Zhen at the Dragon Chant Sect you’re targeting?"

The Bleeding Tears Sect Leader seemed oblivious to the mocking undertone and replied confidently, "It’s naturally Cao Zhen we’re after. He killed one of ours. I’ll take the fight to him."

"Going to the Dragon Chant Sect? Do you truly not fear offending their people?"

Beside him, the Void Breaking Sect Leader shook his head disapprovingly. "Cao Zhen is currently a guest of the Dragon Chant Sect. If we approach the Dragon Chant Sect, it’s certain they won’t surrender him. We cannot afford direct conflict with the Dragon Chant Sect over this matter."

"But what if Cao Zhen willingly agrees to engage with our people?" The Bleeding Tears Sect Leader’s tone grew mysterious. "Surely you’ve heard the rumors. Cao Zhen has reached the Golden Core Period Limit, but his injuries likely haven’t fully healed yet. If we... Well, what do you suppose? Will Cao Zhen agree or not?"

"Moreover, Cao Zhen now surpasses the realm of ordinary Transcendent Ten Abnormal Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfection cultivators. He’s already akin to a peak-level Ten Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfection expert, and his strength continues to grow. Some speculate that soon, he may approach the Golden Core Period Limit.

But advancing further than that will require fully recovering from his injuries or refining another Exotic Pill. Otherwise, at his peak, he will remain no more than someone close to the Golden Core Period Limit."

Turning to the two figures in the Water Mirror, his lips curled. "What if we tell Cao Zhen that only our elite cultivators will confront him, while the sect leaders won’t intervene? Do you think he’ll accept?"

The Soul Breaking Sect Leader, growing serious, said in a deep voice: "If we confront him while his injuries remain unresolved and he only stands as a peak-level Golden Core Great Perfection expert, then he definitely won’t agree to fight."

"That’s an easy obstacle to overcome." The Bleeding Tears Sect Leader, who had clearly anticipated this scenario, replied matter-of-factly, "It will take time for us to reach him. If by then he hasn’t reached the threshold of Golden Core Period Limit, we’ll wait. But if he has already approached the Golden Core Period Limit level, I believe he will certainly make his move. When that happens, we will kill him. At that point, as the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth concludes and our sect’s Earth Immortal Realm experts awaken, we’ll have settled our enmity and silenced any potential dissent."

"Killing Cao Zhen is obviously the ideal outcome. But even if Cao Zhen agrees, he only reached Golden Core Period Limit recently. The moment we confront him, as someone newly ascended to that tier, how can you guarantee victory against him?"

"Victory is inevitable." The Bleeding Tears Sect Leader’s lips curled into a confident smirk. "If Cao Zhen agrees to the fight, his death is assured. My Junior Brother, the Blood-drinking Demon, has now achieved Golden Core Period Limit. Cao Zhen is completely unaware of this fact."

The real intention behind involving the other two sects was the worry that the weight of just one great sect, the Bleeding Tears Demonic Sect, might not suffice alone. But if three sects collectively move upon the Dragon Chant Sect, even the Dragon Chant Sect would have no choice but to tread carefully.

"What!"

"Your Bleeding Tears Demonic Sect has another cultivator at Golden Core Period Limit!"

The two Hierarchs of Void Breaking Sect and Soul Breaking Sect, startled, exchanged looks of surprise. Moments later, their expressions hardened as they nodded in agreement. "Very well, we’re in."

The Bleeding Tears Sect Leader’s reasoning struck a chord. If they failed to deal with Cao Zhen during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, the eventual awakening of their sect’s experts would only bring harsher scrutiny upon their leadership.

Killing Cao Zhen would undoubtedly be the most satisfying resolution.
