Chapter 1444: Chapter 1444: The Grand Trend

"Just wandering around!" Lihen Heaven responded and glanced at Li You, feeling quite peculiar: "This one is..."

"The girl brought back by the Sect Leader, and she’s also a Princess!"

"Impressive!" After praising, Lihen Heaven clasped his fists towards Li You: "Lihen Heaven!"

"Li You!"

Li You looked at Lihen Heaven, and although his words were respectful and his voice gentle, Li You still felt as if a sharp sword was targeting her, giving rise to a faint chill in her bones.

"From now on, she will be the seventh disciple of my Xiao Sect!" Xiao Tianyu said.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Lihen Heaven looked oddly at Xiao Tianyu and asked weakly: "Did you discuss this with Qing Luan?"

Xiao Tianyu: "..."

To accept a disciple, does one need to discuss with Qing Luan?

Do I, as the Sect Leader, have any status left?

Xiao Tianyu secretly complained in his heart.

"Excuse me, is Brother Xiao here? Wang You is here to visit!" At this moment, a voice came from outside the courtyard, to which Xiao Tianyu immediately responded: "Please, Brother Wang You!"

As the voice fell, Wang You stepped into the courtyard, but his gaze first fell on Li You, revealing a faint trace of peculiarity. Clearly, he recognized Li You’s identity from her attire.

"Have you become the favored son-in-law of the Great Li Dynasty?" Wang You spoke directly like Li Fei, and continued: "If that’s the case, I’ll take my leave!"

"Brother Wang You, don’t misunderstand!" Xiao Tianyu immediately stepped forward, explaining: "Li Saint indeed came to me, intending to recruit me, but I did not agree!"

"And her?"

"She will be a disciple of my Xiao Sect from now on!" Xiao Tianyu explained.

Upon hearing this, Wang You looked at Xiao Tianyu with a peculiar expression, thinking that he rejected Li Saint yet won over his sister, pondering if this was a beastly act.

Ever since the battle beyond the peak, Xiao Tianyu and Wang You almost became friends, or rather confidants, even though Xiao Tianyu had slain Yao Junlin on the Middle Three Peaks.

Just as Wang You said, since Yao Junlin acted, he had to pay the price.

Furthermore, even if Xiao Tianyu and Luoshen Sect were at odds, that was their matter; Wang You believed Xiao Tianyu was a friend worth having and would continue to befriend him, regardless of whether alliances or rivalries might exist in the future.

Wang You hasn’t thought that far ahead.

Then, Wang You bowed to Heavenly Dao: "Luoshen Sect, Wang You, pays respects to the senior!"

To Wang You, this was a senior worthy of respect, as he had witnessed Heavenly Dao suppressing the nine Peak Masters of Luoshen Sect during the Luoshen Sect battle.

Wang You firmly believed that without the Sect Leader, Heavenly Dao alone could flatten Luoshen Sect.

"No need for formalities!" Heavenly Dao looked at Wang You, and with just a glance, Wang You felt as though his entire being was seen through.

Then Xiao Tianyu heard a voice in his mind: "This one, worth befriending!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu secretly rolled his eyes at Heavenly Dao, thinking, did he really need his senior brother to say that?

"Brother Xiao, have you heard about..." Wang You hesitated, briefly glancing at Li You.

Li You immediately spoke: "I’ll go out for a walk, you two can chat!"

Li You was quite astute, knowing she had been a Princess of the Great Li Dynasty without any doubt; it was natural for Wang You to avoid this topic.

"No need!" Xiao Tianyu waved his hand and said to Wang You: "Since she is now one of us in Xiao Sect, Xiao Sect has utmost trust in her; Brother Wang You, feel free to speak!"

"Alright then!" Wang You nodded, since Xiao Tianyu said as much, he naturally believed Xiao Tianyu had his reasons.

So he continued: "The ambition of the Great Li Dynasty has already become apparent and not only visited you, but also visited my senior brother Wang Tian, who also rejected them. Afterward, I’ve heard that Li Saint visited other major forces, apparently intending to use the Crown Prince’s investiture to win hearts and lay steps for unifying Yanzhou."

"Moreover, have you heard about the Great Li Dynasty’s relations with the Southeast Celestial Sect?" Wang You asked.

"No!" Xiao Tianyu shook his head: "What’s the matter?"

"The two forces might have reached an agreement, and if that is true, the Five States of Yanzhou will face a calamity!"

Wang You looked at Xiao Tianyu and said: "These two forces, one wants to rule Yanzhou, and the other aims to be the world’s top sect. If they come to an agreement, the future situation in Yanzhou will be imaginable!"

"Indeed!" Xiao Tianyu nodded: "Of the Five States, there are originally five major forces, among which the most profound three are Luoshen Sect, the Great Li Dynasty, and the Southeast Celestial Sect!"

"These three forces could originally check and balance one another, achieving a kind of equilibrium. Should these two forces join hands, this balance will naturally cease to exist. Moreover, if true as you say, their next step might be to target your Luoshen Sect. Once Luoshen Sect falls, it would mean the world belongs to the Great Li Dynasty, while the Southeast Celestial Sect will naturally become equal with the Great Li Dynasty as the world’s top sect, one thriving in Martial Arts, the other ruling the Five States, with no conflict between the two!"

Xiao Tianyu hit the nail on the head.

"This is precisely my main concern, and if the two forces indeed come to terms, perhaps Shenxiao Valley and Fengtian Hall might also lean towards them!" Wang You said.

Xiao Tianyu responded: "The land of Yanzhou has been divided for thousands of years. To unify it immediately is naturally impossible; it will require a lengthy journey. As for Shenxiao Valley and Fengtian Hall, they probably won’t make any statements for now unless they are fools!"

What Xiao Tianyu said was entirely true, even though the Great Li Dynasty and Southeast Celestial Sect might have joined forces, the current circumstances have yet to form a ’momentum’.

As long as the great momentum has yet to take shape, one could say the future is still filled with too much uncertainty.

If amidst the journey, a peerless strong one suddenly emerges, who can suppress the Five States alone, then really, at that time, even the Great Li and Southeast Celestial Sect would have no solutions.

"What you say seems quite similar to what my senior brother Wang Tian has mentioned." Wang You looked at Xiao Tianyu with a peculiar expression; if there’s anyone Wang You admired deeply this life, it would be his senior brother Wang Tian.

"Seems like your senior brother has quite broad knowledge!" Xiao Tianyu praised.

Next to him, Li Fei glanced at Xiao Tianyu, wondering if this guy was complimenting Wang Tian or himself?

"This guy is right; the great momentum hasn’t formed yet, and the future is still uncertain!" At this moment, Heavenly Dao spoke up.

Xiao Tianyu glanced at Heavenly Dao, thinking: "Maybe senior brother is not far from that realm!"

Even if others don’t know, Xiao Tianyu is well aware; the ten senior brothers, in their youth, were definitely unparalleled talents.

Now this Heavenly Dao has reached Half-Step Primordial Spirit, and should he advance a step further, he’d become a true Primordial Spirit Realm expert.

At that time, who in the Five States would still be the opponent of this Heavenly Dao?
