Chapter 287 It's best to let them keep busy on their own.
Upon entering the reception room, Feng Yu immediately created a barrier to seal it off. Pointing at Zhong Lingxin, he was so angry that he couldn't utter a single word.
Zhong Lingxin was quick-witted and immediately offered a cup of tea to Feng Yu: "Uncle Feng, please have some tea."
Feng Yu downed his tea in one gulp and let out a long sigh: "What were you thinking?! You could at least have given me some breathing room, you almost scared me to death."
Zhong Lingxin poured herself another cup of tea: "Uncle Feng, calm down, calm down. You know me, I have a magic weapon left by my master. Let alone a few Mahayana cultivators, even if Ji Guangqi comes in person, he won't be able to break in."
Feng Yu said angrily, "Do you know what I found in the city? Ah! A one-time teleportation array. It's obvious that Ji Guangqi is going to die and needs to borrow your nine-tailed fox's lifespan. That one-time teleportation array was just waiting to capture you last night so that we in Qingling City could search you to death and still not find out how you disappeared."
Zhong Lingxin sneered: "After you sent me the message, Uncle Feng, I strengthened the defenses of the Alchemist Association. It seems that Ji Guangqi really doesn't have many days left to live, that's why he's in such a hurry to make a move."
Feng Yu's mind was at ease. He took the tea set from Zhong Lingxin and began to brew tea elegantly: "For many years, the Immortal Spirit Continent has always been high in the west and low in the east."
The two major sects in the west, the Beast Taming Sect and the Taixu Sect, have always been stronger than the Chaoyuan Sect, Zixia Sect, and Qingyun Sect in the east.
Especially recently, the former Lingyun Sect was defeated by the Qingyun Sect. The Qingyun Sect's strength has not improved enough, ranking last among the five major sects and dragging down the East.
Unfortunately, there's the Chen family, your mortal enemy, who I heard have now sided with the Taixu Sect.
The Beast Taming Sect and the Void Sect were even more arrogant and domineering. They came to Qingling City many times to force people to buy and sell.
In recent years, Qingling City has also had a tough time.
"You've openly slaughtered members of the Taixu Sect this time; there will be a lot of trouble coming up."
Zhong Lingxin nodded, and began to think of a solution.
After a long silence, she said to Feng Yu, "Uncle Feng, it's not a good thing for us to keep being suppressed by the Taixu Sect and the Beast Taming Sect. We need to get them busy on their own."
"Who says otherwise? But those two sects are really hard to deal with now. The Beast Taming Sect is a bit better, but since the Nangong family was destroyed, they've been fighting amongst themselves for the top position. The sect leader of the Taixu Sect is powerful; he controls the Taixu Sect very well, and no family can cause any trouble. Naturally, they all have to obey his orders."
Is there really no way at all?
"There's no good solution for now. Everyone says that only your Qingyun Sect Master Lu can deal with the Void Heaven Sect Master of the Taixu Sect. But your Qingyun Sect Master Lu is cowering and doesn't seem to have any intention of dealing with him. He's been outmaneuvered by him several times, and he doesn't even dare to retaliate."
"Our Sect Master Lu is called 'keeping a low profile'."
"Yes, yes, yes, he's been hiding his strength and biding his time, he's almost killed you, let's see how long he can keep doing that!"
As the two were talking, Zhong Lingxin's communication talisman rang. It was from Sect Leader Lu: "Zhong Lingxin, my dear Zhong Aunt, my ancestor, I beg you, are you alright!"
Upon hearing Sect Leader Lu's voice, Feng Yu burst into laughter.
Zhong Lingxin immediately replied to Sect Leader Lu: "Sect Leader, please rest assured, someone as afraid of death as me would never dare to have anything happen to me."
Soon, Sect Leader Lu's voice rang out again: "Wait here, we'll be right there."
Hearing the word "we" made Zhong Ling's heart pound.
The patriarchs of the Qingyun Sect's back mountain are also coming.
Feng Yu was overjoyed to hear that the patriarch of the Qingyun Sect's back mountain was coming.
With one more person protecting Zhong Lingxin, she would be safer, and he could prepare for his ascension with peace of mind, hurry up and find Yu Wuqing and that bastard Lu Zichen.
Two days later, Sect Master Lu strode into the headquarters of the Alchemist Association with a dark face, where he was greeted by the president and vice president of the Alchemist Association.
There was nothing they could do; the headquarters of the Alchemist Association was almost destroyed, so the president and vice president, who were in seclusion, had no choice but to emerge in anger.
After exchanging pleasantries and making assurances, the president and vice presidents presented several more rank-nine pills before quickly leaving at Zhong Lingxin's signal.
Sect Leader Lu first inquired carefully about what happened that day, and then repeatedly confirmed that Zhong Lingxin had not been harmed before finally sitting down with peace of mind.
Qingming Venerable Saint and Qinghao Venerable Saint were both people who accompanied Sect Master Lu to intercept and kill the Second Elder of the Nangong Family. Naturally, they knew Zhong Lingxin's status in the Qingyun Sect. Therefore, when they heard Sect Master Lu's summons, they hurriedly followed.
Qinghao Zunsheng had a fiery temper. After learning that Zhong Lingxin was alright, he cursed the ancestors of the Taixu Sect for eighteen generations countless times.
Sect Leader Lu said softly, "Let's discuss a strategy."
Some time ago, the Taixu Sect bullied us several times, but I thought it wasn't a big deal and wouldn't have a significant impact on the Qingyun Sect. Our Qingyun Sect was also at a crucial juncture of low-key development, so I tolerated it.
But they became even bolder and dared to kidnap people directly.
If we don't retaliate this time, they will only become more arrogant and take advantage of us.
Qingming Venerable Saint held a cup of tea and said softly, "Xu Tian has been in charge of the Taixu Sect for less than a thousand years. Some time ago, because the Beast Taming Sect was too rampant, our attention was focused on the Beast Taming Sect."
They had thought that the strength of the Taixu Sect would plummet after Hei Ziming's death.
The Taixu Sect did indeed make that claim to the outside world some time ago.
Little did they know that they had three hidden Tribulation-Transcending Saints.
This whole thing is a bit weird.
No one knows when or where these three Tribulation-Transcending Saints underwent their tribulations.
Sect Master Lu shook his head: "I've investigated, but I haven't found anything. The western part of the Immortal Spirit Continent is too vast, yet it has far fewer sects than our eastern part. The territory occupied by just one sect, the Taixu Sect, is three times the size of our Qingyun Sect. If they wanted to build a secret tribulation training ground, it would be extremely difficult for us to find it. What I'm worried about now is whether they might still have tribulation cultivators who haven't been exposed yet. If so, that would be a huge problem."
Qingming Venerable Saint nodded and said, "There should be more. Judging from Ji Guangqi's actions this time, he probably knows that Taixu Sect is about to abandon him, so he is in a hurry to consolidate his position."
Qinghao Venerable Saint agreed with this statement: "Yes, that must be it."
Take our Qingyun Sect for example, we've had two more disciples advance to the Tribulation Transcending stage in recent years.
Every tribulation is a treasure to the sect, and the sect will do everything possible to provide cultivation resources, fearing that the sect's combat power will not be enough.
In contrast, it seems that only Ji Guangqi from the Taixu Sect is trying to extend his lifespan; the Taixu Sect hasn't provided him with any resources whatsoever.
Sect Leader Lu looked at Zhong Lingxin.
Zhong Lingxin sat at the lower end, obediently listening to the conversation between the sect leader and the two Transcending Tribulation Saints, nodding occasionally to show her agreement, without expressing any opinion.
