The outside world is unaware that this battle is brewing.
However, as the only neutral force in the Middle Immortal Realm, the Celestial Pavilion still has its own unique intelligence channels.
At this moment, Miao Yu and Ye Yang Immortal King are also discussing this imminent great war.
"Qingjing Palace won't rest until they achieve their goals this time."
"Yes, both Wuheng and Miao Xuan, the two Immortal Kings, have been in seclusion for many years, having not emerged for millions of years, yet this time even they are taking action."
"The two Demon Kings from the Blood Flame Sect, their true goal is probably that Tier Nine Immortal Sword."
"Naturally, among the nine experts coming out for this battle, none can remain unfazed by that sword."
"The so-called revenge and Immortal Fate Order are just excuses."
Miao Yu sees it very clearly.
Indeed, possessing the Immortal Fate Order would provoke public outrage, but there's still over a hundred years until the deadline.
Even if they are to besiege and snatch the Immortal Fate Order, it's better to wait for later. For now, making a move is premature.
The true lure for the wolves watching eagerly this time is still Brother Cheng's sword.
"How are the Ghost Alliance and the Ancient Emperor Sect planning to handle this?"
"Those four are not simple individuals."
Ye Yang Immortal King said lightly, "Besides the Five Sects and One Family, they have also rallied another sixteen major sects with thousands of Immortal Venerable practitioners this time."
"The role of these Immortal Venerables is to attract the attention of the Ghost Alliance and the Ancient Emperor Sect, keeping the four great experts pinned down."
"Ensuring they can't aid the Feixian Sect."
Miao Yu nodded slightly; this is a classic strategy of feinting east and attacking west, diverting their attention.
Without those four great experts, Jiang Cheng facing nine Immortal King level experts would be hard-pressed to survive.
"Are Mingchi Immortal King and Liu Yuan Immortal King still at Feixian Sect?"
Immortal Kings are as elusive as dragons; these two went to Feixian Sect to visit Brother Cheng without taking many people, and didn't alert anyone before setting off.
Most outsiders are currently unaware of this news.
However, it can't escape the ears and eyes of the Celestial Pavilion.
But, after all, their intelligence isn't yet watertight.
The Soulless Celestial Realm has long become the domain of the Corpse Race; outsiders cannot infiltrate, so the Celestial Pavilion does not know that the Three Great Corpse Kings also went to Feixian Sect.
And in the following days, the three Immortal Kings entering Feixian Sect did so alone, making it even harder to detect.
This alone surprised them greatly.
"To think he not only has connections with both Immortal and Demon Dao, but also has old ties with the grandmaster figures of Pill and Artifact Dao!"
Miao Yu really can't comprehend how this was managed.
These experts don't even walk the same paths; how could they all have connections with him?
Especially those two grandmaster figures of Pill and Artifact Dao, the Celestial Pavilion once tried recruiting them several times, only to be refused each time.
Ye Yang Immortal King couldn't help but admire: "Able to gain so many people's help, I almost suspect he might be an Immortal Emperor in disguise."
Miao Yu shook her head.
"Even if he is an Immortal Emperor, it doesn't mean he can gain the help of those two grandmasters."
Ye Yang Immortal King had to admit she was right.
Grandmaster figures in the fields of Alchemy and Artifact Refining hold a very special status, and often have eccentric temperaments.
Even if an Immortal Emperor appeared, they couldn't force them.
And according to the information they received, those two went to visit Jiang Cheng at Feixian Sect voluntarily.
"Unfortunately, with only these two Immortal Kings, they can't withstand the attack."
The Qingjing Palace side alone has nine Immortal King level experts.
Besides, Mingchi and Liu Yuan are not the combat type, not to mention one against two, even one-on-one might be challenging.
"Should we secretly disclose some information to him in advance and let him prepare defenses?"
Ye Yang Immortal King isn't necessarily fond of Jiang Cheng.
He just feels there must be some earth-shattering secret behind this person.
Maybe this favor will come in handy later.
Perhaps saving him this time would make him so grateful he'd sell that Tier Nine Immortal Sword to me?
Besides, there's the favor from Mingchi and Liu Yuan, those two grandmasters.
Miao Yu pondered for a moment and finally shook her head.
"Don't forget, our stance is neutral."
"Moreover, I see this person as one bearing great fortune, even if Feixian Sect falls, he might amazingly survive."
The Feixian Sect really has no defenses.
Plans on an Immortal King level aren't something Yuan Zhen and Yuan Sheng can perceive.
And Brother Cheng...
Does he need to be wary of this and that?
When the Feixian Sect was surrounded by the Five Sects and One Family and the nine experts stood at the gates, the entire Feixian Sect was thrown into chaos.
Yuan Shu, Yuan Mu, Yuan Zhe, and other elders scrambled frantically to see Brother Cheng.
"Ancestor, what should we do?"
"Yes, the enemy is strong, should we first activate the Sect Protection Array?"
"Yes, yes, open the Great Array first, the Great Array left by ancestors can even stall Immortal Kings for a while!"
If they were just Immortal Venerables, they could stay calm, but Immortal Kings are beyond what they can handle.
Not to mention there are nine of them.
However, Yuan Zhen and Yuan Sheng were full of confidence.
"What's the panic?"
"That's right, just nine Immortal Kings, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Look at how disordered you are, is there any semblance of an elder? What a disgrace."
The ancestor used to slay Immortal Emperors back in the day, why fear a few Immortal Kings?
Yuan Shu and Yuan Mu were at a loss for words.
You two are just Immortal Venerables, where do you get the confidence to call Immortal Kings trivial?
Could it be Zhan Yan or Mingchi, those eight Immortal Kings?
Yuan Shu sighed: "Even with those eight seniors helping, we're still one short!"
"Right, especially..."
Yuan Mu didn't continue, but everyone understood his implication.
Mingchi and Liu Yuan, though at the Immortal King level, may lack the combat power when facing Immortal Kings of the same level.
After all, they have been focused on the Artifact and Alchemy Dao for years.
Just when they finished speaking, the Three Great Corpse Kings and experts like Liu Yuan, Mingchi also arrived.
"Sect Leader Jiang, let us lead the charge in this battle!"
"Indeed, now it's our turn to fight for you!"
Zhan Yan patted his chest, "The three of us together can defend against five of them!"
Hearing this, Yuan Shu and the others were overjoyed.
Looks like these Three Great Corpse Kings have exceptional combat power!
However, Brother Cheng nearly got furious hearing these words.
Darn it, are you planning to imitate Xiao Kun and Jiyun in taking credit?
He's still sore about not getting the spoils of last battle.
Now that enemies have finally arrived, he can't let the opportunity slip away again.
"The sect is a crucial place, they must be guarded by experts. What if the enemy sneaks in?"
"There are many disciples at Feixian Sect, what if some of them accidentally get killed?"
"Even if no disciples are killed, damage to the internal structures is still a loss!"
"None of you eight are allowed to engage without my command!"
"Did you hear me?"
Brother Cheng, abandoning his usual calm demeanor, had a look of unprecedented severity.
