Bai Tieyi approached, his face somewhat solemn. The news he had received was not good.

“The news came from Bliss Palace,” he said. “They speak of a group of mysterious people secretly uniting various major forces to choose a day to attack our sect.”

Bliss Palace, ranked sixth among the top ten sects, has over ninety percent female cultivators and is truly a garden of flowers.

Their cultivation techniques focus on the complementarity of yin and yang, and the process, of course, is indescribable.

But because of this, Bliss Palace has sons-in-law all over the Southern Domain and the most informed intelligence.

“According to the current information, those mysterious people have already made contact with Bliss Palace, Demon Gate, and Taming Beast Sect. Bliss Palace did not agree, but as for the Demon Gate and Taming Beast Sect, that remains unknown,” Bai Tieyi said.

After Bai Tieyi finished speaking, he saw everyone looking at him with strange expressions and was taken aback. He quickly added, “What are you thinking? 1 wasn’t out enjoying myself at Bliss Palace these days; I was crossing the Loose Immortal Tribulation!”

Anxious to be believed, Bai Tieyi released his aura outright, “See, 1 have crossed the Loose Immortal Tribulation three more times consecutively, and now I’m a Ten Tribulations Loose Immortal!”

Black Elder looked amused, “Why do 1 feel like you’re confessing without being pressed?”

Old Bai waved his hand, “Back to the main topic, our sect has not been low-key enough these days. Attracting jealous eyes is normal, but do we know which force is causing mischief in the shadows?”

The Heavenly Mechanism Sect has been undergoing constant Pill Tribulations, with a large amount of high-quality pills appearing. Given time, the sect’s strength is bound to surge, worrying many other forces.

Thirteen days ago, that scene of one million third-tier Rising Yuan Pills triggering Tribulation Thunder must have tempted many forces. Not to mention the large number of high-tier Rising Yuan Pills refined in recent days.

From third-tier to eighth-tier Rising Yuan Pills, the quantity is vast, and the quality is all above top grade. This wealth is enough to tempt most forces to take risks.

With someone stirring the pot, it will be easy to unite a large group of forces to come and seize them.

“I don’t know. Those mysterious people are extremely good at concealing their auras. Even the thirteen Tribulations Loose Immortal of Bliss Palace couldn’t identify them using their Spiritual Sense,” Bai Tieyi explained.

Old Bai pondered, “The top ten sects are unlikely to do such a thing to each other. The most likely culprit would be Ten Thousand Evils Cave.”

Ten Thousand Evils Cave is not a place, but an intricate underground force that has existed for over ten thousand years.

Although it does not have as long a legacy as the top ten sects, Ten Thousand Evils Cave deals in intelligence and assassination and commits raids, murders, and loots various commerce unions behind the scenes, growing rapidly.

Now, Ten Thousand Evils Cave has become a dark force not weaker than the large sects. If not for the consistent suppression by the Hundred Calamities Commerce Union, Ten Thousand Evils Cave would be even stronger.

The most terrifying thing is that people from all major forces have secretly joined Ten Thousand Evils Cave!

Black Elder shook his head, “Ten Thousand Evils Cave has never targeted sect forces, only attacking commerce unions, especially the Hundred Calamities Commerce Union. It’s unlikely they’ll target us.”

“That’s because the resources of commerce unions are abundant. But now, we possess so many third-tier to eighth-tier Rising Yuan Pills and a large number of Breakthrough Pills. This is enough to tempt Ten Thousand Evils Cave!” Old Bai countered.

Black Elder fell silent. If Ten Thousand Evils Cave was driving this, it would be troublesome. With all the wealth, power, and manpower of the Hundred Calamities Commerce Union, they could not handle Ten Thousand Evils Cave, let alone the Heavenly Mechanism Sect pulling out its people.

“Black and White Uncles, regardless of which force is pushing from the shadows, we’ll have to face an onslaught of powerful attackers sooner or later. Shouldn’t we start looking for some allies?” Bai Tieyi suggested.

“The Hundred Sects Conference has been moved up three years. Could it be related?” Black Elder suddenly asked.

Old Bai shook his head, “The conference was moved up because an Immortal Mansion is about to emerge. It’s headed by the Taoist Mysterious Sect, and with their strength, they need not entertain such thoughts.”

“That’s right, it won’t be the Taoist Mysterious Sect,” Li Cheng said with certainty.

The crowd turned their gaze toward Li Cheng, curious as to why he was so confident.

Li Cheng didn’t explain; after all, the Immortal elder of Taoist Mysterious Sect had sworn an oath of the Heavenly Dao, and speaking of such things would only lead these people to wild speculation.

In any case, as long as Feng Wanli remained in the Lower World, the Taoist Mysterious Sect would not act against the Heavenly Mechanism Sect; otherwise, Feng Wanli would be breaking his oath, and that would be his downfall.

“Regardless of which power is pushing behind the scenes, the best time for them to make a move will be during the Hundred Sect Conference or when an Immortal Mansion emerges. Until then, they won’t make any rash moves,” Li Cheng said, his tone full of conviction.

“Of course, that’s assuming they can band together!” Li Cheng added another sentence.

The ten major sects have a long heritage, and within the sects, there are many measures left behind by Immortals from their descents to the Lower World, which cannot be breached by a mere alliance of a few major forces alone.

That’s why those mysterious figures approached the likes of Bliss Palace, Demon Gate, and Taming Beast Sect within the top ten sects; only by roping in as many of the ten major sects as possible and then uniting with the other major forces might they succeed.

Bai Tieyi’s eyes lit up, “So, the current method to break the deadlock is to prevent the major sects from being swayed?”

Li Cheng nodded, “Including Taoist Mysterious Sect, what the other nine major sects want most is me. Just by nodding my head to agree to refine pills for them, I could break the deadlock.”

As long as the ten major sects aren’t involved, Heavenly Mechanism Sect can be fearless.

“But I’m lazy, I don’t want to do such tiring work!” Li Cheng said again.

The crowd was astonished, then why even mention it?

However, they could also tell that Li Cheng had another plan!

Seeing the expectant looks on everyone’s faces, Li Cheng didn’t keep them in suspense any longer and smiled, “There’s another method, a distraction tactic!”

“Currently, all the major forces are focused on my alchemy. The birth of the half-immortal Artifact just now gave me an inspiration!”

“If half-Immortal Artifacts keep appearing from Artifact Sect, then the focal point of the major forces would shift partly towards them, and our Heavenly Mechanism Sect will no longer be the target of all.”

After Li Cheng finished speaking, the crowd’s eyes widened even further. How could they not understand that Li Cheng was going to Artifact Sect to refine half-Immortal Artifacts!

This was simply diverting trouble elsewhere!

Bai Tieyi was very curious. What had Artifact Sect done to offend Li Cheng?

Or was it that Li Cheng was simply picking a sect at random to take the fall?

If so, then Artifact Sect had really drawn the short straw, hadn’t it?

“That bunch of untrustworthy scoundrels from Artifact Sect, letting them take the fall is also a way of collecting some interest in advance!” Black Elder laughed.

The matter of Artifact Sect borrowing an Immortal Artifact tripod from Heavenly Mechanism Sect and not returning it was known to most of the high-ranking members.

Thirty years ago, many high-ranking members had advised Wu Ya against it, but he still lent it.

See, they had no intention of returning it once they borrowed it, and they even cut off all contact with Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

Bai Tieyi didn’t know about this and became even more puzzled upon hearing it, but no one explained it to him.

“With the allure of half-Immortal Artifacts, indeed, we can shift a part of the focus away, but going to Artifact Sect to refine artifacts is not going to be easy!” Old Bai said, looking at Li Cheng.

Black Elder continued, “Difficult? Why not just find a spot within Artifact Sect’s territory and start working?”

Li Cheng nodded, “Exactly, the Sect Protection Array cannot be activated at all times, and even if it is, I can enter unnoticed.”

So saying, Li Cheng took the four yet-to-be-modified supreme-grade spirit Pill Tripods and started preparing to take them to Artifact Sect for modification.

Just at that moment, Mu Xingzhi flew back in, with a look of relief on his face, “It’s handled. 1 told them it was a high ranking person from Artifact Sect refining here, they wanted to pay a visit, but 1 told them that the expert had already left.”

Bai Tieyi stared blankly at Mu Xingzhi, “You also shifted the blame to Artifact Sect? What did Artifact Sect do? Can someone explain it to me?”
