Heavenly Splendor Hall.

Sky Wind Palace.

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng sat on the Immortal Throne, a shadow of gloom flickering in his eyes.

He absolutely could not allow Heavenly Splendor Hall to relocate to the Eastern Domain!

He had to find a way to delay time, waiting for the Blood Ancestor of Blood Eagle Hall to emerge.

Back when the Blood Ancestor made Heavenly Splendor Hall a subordinate force of Blood Eagle Hall, although he resolutely stood on the side of Heavenly Splendor Hall, it did not mean that he was particularly loyal to it.

After all, for him, his interests were tied to those of Heavenly Splendor Hall. He had initially opposed becoming a subordinate force of Blood Eagle Hall purely for his own interests.

However, in the end, not only did Heavenly Splendor Hall fail to seal the Blood Ancestor, but it also had to relocate to the Eastern Domain, even facing division, which severely harmed his interests.

It was not easy to relocate an Immortal Sect; some things could be moved, but others could not.

He had spent a lifetime building his presence in the Southern Domain. How could he give it up so easily? If he really went to the Eastern Domain, his personal Qi Fortune would surely plummet, and his power would greatly diminish.

So, he chose to betray Heavenly Splendor Hall, informing Blood Eagle Hall of the relocation and agreeing with the Blood Demon Immortal Venerable that as long as Heavenly Splendor Hall stayed and he could become its Hall Master, he would lead Heavenly Splendor Hall as a subordinate force of Blood Eagle Hall and never betray them.

At first, he thought that with various forces in the Southern Domain obstructing Heavenly Splendor Hall from leaving, the matter was settled. But the fantasies were shattered when the Xiyue Immortal Emperor sent down a sliver of Divine Thought to the Southern Domain.

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng pondered for a moment, then stood up and headed straight for Chenlan Palace in Heavenly Splendor Hall.

Inside Chenlan Palace, Chenlan Immortal Venerable, dressed in a gray robe, was directing his disciples to swiftly move the items they needed to take.

At this moment, Chenlan Immortal Venerable suddenly sensed the aura of an Immortal Venerate appearing in his palace.

Chenlan Immortal Venerable looked towards the direction of Immortal Venerable Tianfeng and, seeing it was him, asked puzzledly, "Elder Tianfeng, why are you not busy packing up? What are you doing here?"

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng smiled and said, "Elder Chenlan, might I have a word with you?"

Upon hearing this, Chenlan Immortal Venerable looked at Immortal Venerable Tianfeng with a puzzled expression and then said, "Follow me."

Subsequently, Chenlan Immortal Venerable led Immortal Venerable Tianfeng to a chamber in Chenlan Palace and immediately set up an Isolation Array.

Then he turned and said to Immortal Venerable Tianfeng, "Elder Tianfeng, what do you wish to discuss?"

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng said straightforwardly, "Is Elder Chenlan really planning to follow Taihua Immortal Venerable to relocate to the Eastern Domain?"

Hearing this question, Chenlan Immortal Venerable frowned deeply. Immortal Venerable Tianfeng not only refrained from addressing Taihua Immortal Venerable as Hall Master but also raised this question, clearly harboring other intentions.

Chenlan Immortal Venerable immediately became alert, "What do you mean by this, Elder Tianfeng?"

Seeing Chenlan Immortal Venerable's guarded stance, Immortal Venerable Tianfeng sighed and said, "Since the self-sealing of the Star River Immortal Venerate, Elder Chenlan has been the strongest in Heavenly Splendor Hall and the first to break through to the First Layer Heaven among Immortal Venerates."

"Yet, the position of the hall master is not yours. Is Elder Chenlan truly content with this?"

Chenlan Immortal Venerable said sternly, "Elder Tianfeng, if you have something to say, say it directly."

Chenlan Immortal Venerable had a vague idea of what Immortal Venerable Tianfeng wanted to say. After all, they were both figures of Immortal Venerable level, not fools.

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng using such divisive tactics clearly meant he wanted to do something unfavorable to Taihua Immortal Venerable.

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng said, "Then I will speak directly. If Heavenly Splendor Hall really relocates to the Eastern Domain, there will no longer be a place for it in the Tianyan Immortal Domain."

"Do you think Lu Chen is really so kind-hearted?"

"Back then, Heavenly Splendor Hall forced Lu Chen into the Chaotic Sea. Now that he has an Immortal Emperor as backing, not only does he not seek revenge, but he also helps Heavenly Splendor Hall move to the Eastern Domain. Do you think this is possible?"

This...

After hearing Immortal Venerable Tianfeng's words, Chenlan Immortal Venerable fell into deep thought. He had thought about this problem when he returned, but considering they had no other options, he didn't dwell on it.

They now had only two paths: one was to stay and resist the Barbaric invasion, then face the losses once the Blood Ancestor emerged; the other was to move to the Eastern Domain.

Although he knew there might be no Heavenly Splendor Hall if they went to the Eastern Domain, at least it would ensure survival.

If they continued to remain in the Southern Domain, it was uncertain whether they would survive when the Blood Ancestor emerged.

Chenlan Immortal Venerable said, "If he really wanted revenge, he wouldn't help Heavenly Splendor Hall relocate to the Eastern Domain."

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng chuckled and then said, "Elder Chenlan, don't delude yourself. We are currently in the Southern Domain, which is now considered a realm under the control of the Blood Ancestor. If Lu Chen wanted revenge, it wouldn't be so easy."

"Xiyue Immortal Emperor merely sent a sliver of Divine Thought to descend upon the Southern Domain, which doesn't mean she's willing to engage in conflict with the Blood Ancestor."

"As long as we at Heavenly Splendor Hall remain in the Southern Domain, Xiyue Immortal Emperor will not act against us, and once we move to the Eastern Domain, we will only be at the mercy of others."

Upon hearing Immortal Venerable Tianfeng's words, Chenlan Immortal Venerable's expression turned even more serious, "Elder Tianfeng, what do you mean by this? Do you actually intend to stay in the Southern Domain?"

"Have you forgotten what Heavenly Splendor Hall has done before?"

"If Heavenly Splendor Hall continues in the Southern Domain, even if we manage to resist the Barbaric invasion, once the Blood Ancestor emerges, we will surely face retribution from the Blood Ancestor."

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng said, "That's not necessarily the case."

Hmm?

Chenlan Immortal Venerable warily looked at Immortal Venerable Tianfeng, having already guessed some things.

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng directly said, "Now that Barbaric has invaded, Blood Eagle Hall urgently needs manpower. Do you think they would take punitive action against Heavenly Splendor Hall?"

"While Heavenly Splendor Hall did indeed attack Blood Eagle Hall, we were not the main instigators. We can completely shift all the blame onto one person."

Chenlan Immortal Venerable slightly squinted his eyes, "Judging by your words, are you planning to defect to Blood Eagle Hall?"

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng did not answer directly but said, "I've said all that needs to be said, and I hope Elder Chenlan can think it over thoroughly."

"I am wholeheartedly devoted to Heavenly Splendor Hall. Back when Blood Eagle Hall wanted to dominate the Southern Domain, I was the first to stand up against them. Everything I do now is to prevent the destruction of Heavenly Splendor Hall."

Chenlan Immortal Venerable suspiciously asked, "Elder Tianfeng, you leaked the information about Heavenly Splendor Hall's relocation to the Eastern Domain, didn't you?"

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng still did not answer; he continued, "I shall return first. If you think it through, come find me."

With that, Immortal Venerable Tianfeng turned and left. Watching his departing figure, Chenlan Immortal Venerable fell into contemplation.

He truly had some concerns in his heart and was also quite dissatisfied with Taihua Immortal Venerable. He had always longed for the hall master's position, but seeking allegiance with Blood Eagle Hall at this time might lead the disciples of Chenlan Palace to revolt.
