Chapter 449: Arrival Again!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Honestly, it was really difficult to find the location of the old man from the Heavenly Sword Peak Sect among the seven major factions.
The other six forces all lived in the mansion.
Only the old man from the Heavenly Sword Peak Sect was in a deep forest.
He practiced the sword alone.
Ye Qiubai arrived at a mountain spring. Above the mountain spring, an old man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and his sword placed on his knees.
Wisps of sword intent that surpassed the Supreme Realm revolved around the old man.
There was nothing special about it.
However, there seemed to be a windless zone around the old man.
Occasionally, leaves would fall.
However, as long as one entered this domain, they would be cut into countless pieces by an invisible Sword Intent!
Ye Qiubai cupped his hands and said, “Junior Ye Qiubai greets Senior.”
The old man from Heavenly Sword Peak Sect did not open his eyes.
Instead, he said, “If you’re not going to draw a star map of the factions, why are you here?”
Ye Qiubai smiled and said, “I’m just here to talk to Senior.”
“You want me to help you disrupt the plans of the other factions?”
“That’s right.”
Ye Qiubai wasn’t surprised.
The other party would guess his intentions.
After all, he had lived for so many years and was a high-level figure of the Heavenly Sword Peak Sect. What had he not seen before?

Ye Qiubai said, “Senior should know me.”
Hearing this, Chu Guidao suddenly opened his eyes, and wisps of Sword Intent shot out like lightning!
He looked straight at Ye Qiubai, as if he wanted to completely penetrate him.
“Why do you think so?”
Ye Qiubai explained, “Because the old man who gave me the metal piece saved me time and time again.”
“The intention is to not let me die. At the same time, an even stronger senior wants to see me.”
“He must have taken a fancy to me because I have a certain characteristic, or is he very talented?”
“However, that’s not important. What’s important is that the old man left with ease the moment the seven superpowers arrived.”
“That means that old man is one of the seven great powers.”
“And I’m a sword cultivator. Only the Heavenly Sword Peak Sect where you’re from is filled with sword cultivators among the seven major factions. That’s why we came to this conclusion.”
Chu Guidao frowned and said, “You can confirm my identity with just these?”
Ye Qiubai shrugged and raised his eyebrows. “I wasn’t sure at first, but when you said this just now, I was sure.”
Chu Guidao asked in surprise, “Aren’t you afraid that you’ll guess wrongly and be killed by me?”
Hearing this, Ye Qiubai said carefreely, “Life is filled with gambling. If you gamble correctly, you will naturally win. If you gamble wrongly, at most, you can start all over again.”
Moreover, Ye Qiubai didn’t think that he would die here.
He only dared to do so after ensuring that this was the prerequisite.
Upon hearing this, Chu Guidao revealed a look of admiration and said, “Your brain isn’t bad, and you’re bold enough. No wonder that person took a fancy to you.”
Ye Qiubai was slightly stunned.
That person?
Chu Guidao smiled faintly as if he had seen through Ye Qiubai’s thoughts.
“I’m not the one who wants to see you.”
It seemed like that person’s status was even stronger than the old man in front of him?
Ye Qiubai didn’t ask further and said, “Senior, can you cooperate with us?”
“Why should I help you? My Heavenly Sword Peak Sect has already gotten a huge piece of the pie. Why should we cause trouble?”
“Senior, do you want more benefits?”
“For example…” Ye Qiubai chuckled and said, “Kick out a few of the factions and monopolize the benefits?”
Upon hearing this, Chu Guidao stood up and nodded. “1 can help you, but 1 can’t help you.”
“Once the plan fails, you might face the seven major factions directly wiping out this world. Have you thought it through?”
Ye Qiubai didn’t hesitate and nodded.
There was no better way now after all.
If he didn’t do anything, he wouldn’t be treated as a slave and would rather die.
If he put in a little more effort, there was at least a chance of success.
Even if they failed, it would be an all-out war, Chu Guidao warned, “However, you’ve underestimated the situation. None of the seven major factions are simple-minded. Your plan might fail.”
Ye Qiubai spread his hands and said, “A failure is a failure. The difference in strength is so great. We can only take a gamble.”
With that, Ye Qiubai cupped his hands at Chu Guidao again and left.
At this moment, in the Boundless Empire.
When Ye Qiubai returned, Mu Ziqing came forward and asked with concern, “Are you alright?”
Ye Qiubai smiled.
Beside him, Jian Wufeng teased, “Clan Leader Mu, look at this girl of yours. First, she doesn’t ask if the plan has succeeded. First, she asks if Qiu Bai is alright.”
Mu Libei snorted coldly and did not say anything.
Mu Ziqing blushed and let go of Ye Qiubai’s hand before retreating to the side.
Mu Zhengting, who was sitting in the high seat, smiled and said, “There’s no need to ask. Since Qiu Bai has returned safely, it means that he has already convinced the other party, right?”
Ye Qiubai nodded and said, “I’ve temporarily convinced Wuxu City and
Heavenly Sword Peak Sect.”
When they heard about Wuxu City, they weren’t too surprised.
Wuxu City was the weakest of the seven factions after all.
There would definitely be less benefits. It was not surprising that Ye Qiubai could convince him.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the Heavenly Sword Peak Sect was also convinced by Ye Qiubai?
That was an outstanding figure among the seven major factions.
The benefits would not be less than the other forces, or even more!
This method of sowing discord did not benefit Heavenly Sword Peak Sect at all!
What did Ye Qiubai promise the Heavenly Sword Peak Sect?
Mu Zhengting was also a little puzzled, but he did not ask further.
He must have given her something that tempted her and made her willing to give up a portion of her benefits.
It was not surprising that the senior behind Ye Qiubai could bring out something shocking after all.
“Still.”
Ye Qiubai changed the topic and continued, “We still have to be prepared for battle. After all, the other party is not a fool. They will definitely sense that this is a scheme.”
Hearing this, the people from the various factions began to criticize Ye Qiubai.
“Then why did you do it?”
“Wouldn’t that provoke the other party’s anger?”
“You’re asking for trouble, you’re asking for trouble!”
Ye Qiubai’s expression was indifferent as he said, “I’m just betting on the other party’s greed.”
“Moreover, even if we fail, the situation won’t be worse than now.”
Everyone was silent.
Indeed, he would die at the very worst.
It was better than being treated as a slave.
Mu Zhengting nodded and said, “Qiubai is right. There’s no better choice.”
“Prepare yourself. If you fail in four days, prepare to fight to the death!”
And in four days, the eyes of a Cultivation practitioner would close and close in the blink of an eye.
Seven pillars of light descended upon the boundless Imperial City once again!
