By sheer coincidence.

Just as the two Nascent Soul Stage True Persons of the Moon Wheel Sect had deliberated and decided to interfere with Luo Qingni's nascent soul formation.

The two Nascent Soul Stage True Persons of the Sunflame Sect were also having a dispute over this matter.

"I disagree with this, Ziyang Senior Brother, your idea is extremely dangerous; if discovered, it will only make the relationship between our two families harder to mend!"

"Moreover, you and I both know how critically important it is for a cultivator to transform elixir and form infant. Since Zhou Zhengchun dares to have someone form their nascent soul in the Green Lotus Mountain Range, surely every aspect has been prepared meticulously. Senior Brother, your tactics have little chance of success!"

"Besides, the most anxious about this matter now isn't our Sunflame Sect but should be the Moon Wheel Sect. Why should we act as someone's pawn and undertake such unequal risk and reward?"

Inside the cave mansion, Baiyang True Person looked sternly at Ziyang True Person, stating his stance of disagreement on interfering with Luo Qingni's nascent soul formation.

Frankly speaking, Baiyang True Person's reasoning was sound, except for his somewhat weak tone, there was nothing too flawed about it.

However, after hearing his words, Ziyang True Person's complexion instantly turned unpleasant.

It is known that Baiyang True Person is considered a junior to Ziyang True Person. Due to some issues in his cultivation, he usually focuses on suppressing hidden dangers within himself inside the sect, rarely using a strong tone when discussing matters with Ziyang True Person.

Though there are times he disagreed with Ziyang True Person's actions, he would remain silent, refraining from direct contradiction.

But now, he forcibly rebutted Ziyang True Person's suggestion with clear and forceful arguments.

This made Ziyang True Person very uncomfortable, very unhappy.

But Ziyang True Person was aware that Baiyang True Person dared speak this way because he had lost the sect's Heritage Spiritual Treasure, also because his strength no longer held any advantage over Baiyang True Person.

In a powerful sect like the Sunflame Sect, a Heritage Spiritual Treasure is passed down from the ancestors, ownership always belongs to the sect; Nascent Soul Stage True Persons only have the right to use it.

Normally, after Ziyang True Person's sitting and transforming, or when Baiyang True Person breaks through to the mid Nascent Soul stage, the "Sunflame Treasure" would be handed over to him for management and refining.

But after Ziyang True Person lost this Heritage Spiritual Treasure, not only does Baiyang True Person have little chance of managing and refining this treasure, future cultivators in the Sunflame Sect are also likely to miss such chances.

In this regard, it's not an exaggeration to say Ziyang True Person is a historical sinner of the Sunflame Sect!

If not for Ziyang True Person's profound cultivation, deep prestige, and highest rank, he might have already been imprisoned in the sect's dungeon, subject to the blazing fire punishment!

Under these circumstances, Baiyang True Person certainly wouldn't respect him as before, listening to him at every turn.

However, understanding deep down does not make it easy for Ziyang True Person to set aside his pride on the surface.

After grimly pondering for a moment, he looked gloomily at Baiyang True Person and said, "Baiyang Junior Brother, do you truly think there's still room for reconciliation between our sect and the Zhou Family?"

"Even if there's no room now, there might be in the future. And even if there isn't ever, it's unnecessary to deepen the hatred between us. At least not until the Zhou Family declines!"

Baiyang True Person faced Ziyang True Person unbendingly, his voice and gaze unwavering.

Upon seeing this, Ziyang True Person's brow furrowed, his anger igniting within.

In all these years, Baiyang True Person had never rebuked him face to face like this.

His face slightly trembled, restraining his anger, and he nodded repeatedly at Baiyang True Person and said, "Good, very good, Baiyang Junior Brother, you're finally showing some qualities of a sect leader. It seems it's time for me to step down!"

"Ziyang Senior Brother has misunderstood; Junior Brother I have never had intentions to vie for sect power with you, just don't want to see you falling deeper, dragging the sect into the abyss!"

Baiyang True Person's eyelids drooped, his tone muted and low as he replied softly.

Listening to this reply, Ziyang True Person laughed in anger, "Baiyang Junior Brother, since when did you learn to be so hypocritical? If you're dissatisfied with my actions, you're free to point it out; I've never said you can't voice objections!"

After saying this, he swept his wide sleeve as if to sever their brotherly affection, breaking the long-standing harmony between them.

Seeing this, Baiyang True Person's eyes dimmed instantly, then he lightly bowed and said, "Regardless of how Ziyang Senior Brother sees me, everything I've said and done is for the sect, to preserve our sect's legacy!"

Having said that, he left Ziyang True Person's cave mansion without further delay.

Watching his desolate retreating figure, Ziyang True Person's expression turned gloomy, his mood extremely foul.

Fortunately, neither Ziyang True Person nor Baiyang True Person disclosed their dissent or conflict to a third party.

Otherwise, if the Gold Elixir Elders and the lower-tier cultivators of the Sunflame Sect were to learn of this, it would surely lead to panic, affecting the entire sect's operations.
