Chapter 6137: The One To End the Fight Between the Conservative and the New Factions?

The experts of the conservative faction were gathered outside.

They quickly huddled around Song Yun to protect her. Many of them drew their weapons and pointed them at Baili Zilin. Murderous auras gushed out and crushed the vicinity.

Two figures descended from the sky—Yun Ao and Jimo Qianzhou.

Jimo Qianzhou realized that something was amiss and hurriedly descended before the palace entrance to protect Baili Zilin.

Yun Ao descended beside the weakened Song Yun to support her. He glared at Baili Zilin and roared, “What did you do to Yun’er?”

“After you left, young master Zilin asked me if I obtained a power from the Netherworld Tower and coerced me to hand it over. He threatened to kill me otherwise,” Song Yun explained feebly with a pale face in Yun Ao’s arm.

Chen Hui clenched his jaws in anger. He glared at Baili Zilin with unconcealed killing intent.

“I-I didn’t do anything. She’s framing me!” Baili Zilin exclaimed with flailing arms.

“You’re still denying it despite clear evidence? Baili Zilin, you must be out of your mind! Men, capture him!” Chen Hui ordered.

Many from the conservative faction charged at the palace despite a Netherworld Marshall standing in their way.

Shoosh!

Jimo Qianzhou jolted everyone back with his oppressive might.

True Gods stood no chance against a Heavenly God!

By the time the crowd snapped out of it, Jimo Qianzhou and Baili Zilin were already gone.

Jimo Qianzhou’s voice echoed from a distance, “Lord Yun Ao, there must be a mistake somehow. I’ll give you an answer after investigating the matter.”

“Lord Yun Ao, why didn’t you stop him?” Chen Hui and the others looked at Yun Ao in confusion.

Jimo Qianzhou wouldn’t have been able to escape that easily if Yun Ao had hindered him.

Yun Ao turned to Song Yun and said, “Don’t worry, Yun’er. We won’t let this matter go so easily. There will be justice for you even if the entire new faction backs Baili Zilin.”

He, too, was furious, but Baili Zilin was no ordinary sectmember despite having committed a grievous mistake today. They couldn’t recklessly touch him, or else it could lead to instability in the Netherworld Sect.

But Chen Hui was not buying that.

“Lord Yun Ao, the new faction is the one picking a fight with us! Why are we still holding back? They have already made a move on Yun’er; it could be you or the other lords next!”

“Shut your mouth!” Yun Ao roared. “We will eventually settle the scores, but not now. Do you want to tear our Netherworld Sect apart?”

Chen Hui fell silent at Yun Ao’s wrath,

“Lord Yun Ao, please don’t disturb the Netherworld Sect’s harmony over me. If only I wasn’t this weak, I wouldn’t have been injured by Baili Zilin. Actually... there is something I was planning to tell you after recuperating from my injuries.”

Song Yun raised her palm and released a surge of True God level martial power.

“Little sister Yun’er, you have reached True God level?”

The crowd was shocked.

Song Yun’s aura was at rank one True God level. This explained how Song Yun was able to escape from Baili Zilin’s clutches!

“I had a fortuitous encounter in the Netherworld Tower. The rumor... is true,” Song Yun said.

The crowd was overjoyed to hear that. They, too, were wondering about that, and everything turned out as they had hoped for.

Song Yun’s potential was inestimable after obtaining the legendary power. If they could verify this matter, it was only a matter of time before their conservative faction secured the support of the neutral faction.

That would give the conservative faction the final say over the Netherworld Sect.

...

Meanwhile, Jimo Qianzhou glared at Baili Zilin in anger. “You have gone too far!”

“I was tricked by her,” Baili Zilin replied in indignance before sharing the earlier situation.

“Is it true?” Jimo Qianzhou was taken aback.

He would have to re-evaluate Song Yun if this matter was true.

“I wouldn’t lie about something like that. Haven’t you noticed that I’m in a weakened state? Cough, cough...” Baili Zilin started coughing out blood in the middle of his words. “We should have talked things out on the spot instead of escaping.

“There’s no way to talk things out. From the moment Song Yun dashed out of the palace, whatever you said would just have been treated as an excuse. Even if you are in a weakened state, they would have assumed you did it to yourself. Your aura lingers on Song Yun’s neck. That puts you in too much of a disadvantage,” Jimo Qianzhou replied.

“What do we do then? Am I supposed to swallow this grievance?” Baili Zilin was vexed.

“Young master Baili, it’s not just about swallowing the grievance anymore. I don’t think you understand the severity of the situation.” Jimo Qianzhou frowned.

Yun Ao had only held back for the bigger picture. If Yun Ao had given in to his emotions, this could have escalated into an internal war between the new faction and the conservative faction. Neither Yun Ao nor he could take responsibility for that.

But this didn’t mean that Baili Zilin was exonerated of his crime, and neither did that mean that Yun Ao would let things rest just like that.

The powerhouses of the conservative faction would demand an explanation from Baili Zilin when they emerged from their closed-door training. Many within the new faction would also frown on Baili Zilin.

Killing a fellow sectmember was taboo.

Even if Baili Zilin’s father protected him, Baili Zilin’s reputation would still be sullied. He wouldn’t enjoy as much support as he did before.

“Is this Song Yun’s ploy, or is Yun Ao behind this?” Jimo Qianzhou murmured.

He thought the latter would have been better.

Otherwise, it would mean that Song Yun was a terrifying adversary. The conservative faction would go further to ensure her security after this matter; Yun Ao might even personally guard her.

That would make it difficult for those from the new faction to reach her again.

If Song Yun truly obtained the legendary power, the conservation faction would channel its resources from Chen Hui to her. With such support, she would swiftly rise through the ranks.

Many times, Jimo Qianzhou had thought about how the fight between the new faction and conservative faction could end, but he never expected an Eastern Region lass who had no prior backing to be the key.
