A wave of panic surged through her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Zhou Qing’s figure shrink into a golden speck in the sky, Ji Xuan’s fury burned hotter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She no longer cared about caution—she shot forward at her maximum speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brat, stop right there!” Ji Xuan roared, her voice thick with murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing laughed loudly in midair, feeling utterly exhilarated—finally, he’d gotten his revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a Soul Transformation cultivator was vastly different from others—even if half his blood had spilled, his Primordial Spirit could temporarily leave the body to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since this was still Qingyu Immortal Sect’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he needed to do now was annoy her a little longer, then escape quickly before Qingyu’s space vessel caught up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old dog, are you even capable? I’ve already slowed down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you can’t catch me, call for help—you’re used to bullying others with your numbers anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Slow down, you’re past your prime—don’t bruise or break a bone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing kept taunting her with words; Ji Xuan was furious and desperate, yet she couldn’t close the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially as she realized: the faster she moved her spiritual power, the faster the blood gushed from her wound—her body grew weaker, her vision blurred, her head spun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of poison is this? How terrifying!” Ji Xuan’s dread deepened with every chase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhou Qing constantly provoking ahead, she gritted her teeth, dove down, and hid her physical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, her Primordial Spirit glided free, instantly streaking toward Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was a veteran Soul Transformation peak—if even she couldn’t handle this strange poison, no one else stood a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhou Qing escaped now, where would she find an antidote?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how readily he abandoned his body, Zhou Qing suddenly conceived a bold, reckless idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you like to overreach, I’ll gamble too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Zhou Qing roared, spun around, and his entire body erupted in thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old dog, I see you’ve studied the Thunder Arts of Jin Leizong—you love framing others. Then judge this technique of mine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Zhou Qing swiftly formed hand seals, muttering incantations under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his movements, the thunderous energy in the air grew wilder—countless lightning-lit meteorites crashed down from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, a colossal spectral lion emerged slowly from behind him, unleashing a deafening roar before charging straight at Ji Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m gone!” Zhou Qing laughed loudly and turned to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuan’s Primordial Spirit froze, her face turning pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she moved to react, the lion—defying all logic—exploded violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a powerful shockwave erupted from the lion’s core, spreading wildly in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding peaks collapsed under the force, crumbling into countless shards of rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuan recoiled instantly, watching helplessly as the energy wave flattened everything around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brat, you’re too eager!” Ji Xuan sneered—she hadn’t been scratched at all—and immediately chased after him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few breaths later, to everyone’s shock, Zhou Qing crawled out of a ravine below, covered in dust and dirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched Ji Xuan’s retreating back, a smile spreading across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won! She ignored me again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His original plan had been: if this failed, he’d use the Jin Wu Burning Sky Scripture and try again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that failed, he had the Cang Lei Sword Art—these three techniques could be cycled endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them would inevitably trigger [Reduce Presence].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he hadn’t expected it to work on the first try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing immediately turned and looked back, rubbing his hands excitedly, recalling where Ji Xuan had fallen, then sprinted toward it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he reached the area, unleashing a vast spiritual sense, scanning the ground repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In moments, his face lit up—he landed, smashed the cliffside with a single punch, and revealed Ji Xuan’s body, still gushing blood from her abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Ji Xuan’s Primordial Spirit sensed the danger to her body and erupted in rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brat, how dare you!” Without hesitation, she spun back with full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Squelch—*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the slightest pause, Zhou Qing slashed the *Poisoned Blade* across Ji Xuan’s neck—her head rolled free, and he caught it in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Poisoned Blade really works—useless against anything else, but slicing flesh? Utterly razor-sharp!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing muttered to himself, then swung the *Poisoned Blade* wildly, hacking and chopping at Ji Xuan’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Soul Transformation cultivators’ bones were too hard—the *Poisoned Blade* hit its limit here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing only a bloody pulp remain, Zhou Qing immediately fled in another direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, less than ten breaths passed before Ji Xuan’s Primordial Spirit returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the unrecognizable heap of bloody flesh and shattered bones, her Primordial Spirit trembled violently, her eyes blazing with fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Qing! I’ll tear you into a thousand pieces! Tear you into a thousand pieces!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuan screamed to the heavens, her voice raw with agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing, still carrying a severed head, shuddered and redoubled his speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later, in a forest, Zhou Qing was frantically absorbing spirit stones to replenish his strength when he immediately concealed his aura with the Void Realm Manifestation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three breaths later, wind howled overhead—flashes of light shot past above him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing cautiously looked up—and when he recognized the figures, his tense face broke into a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer caring about concealment, he shot skyward and shouted: “Uncle Bai!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Cao Zheng was frantic, receiving reports from every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after learning someone had found Li Bin’s corpse and was investigating it—his heart grew heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he prepared to return to the site of Li Bin’s body, a familiar voice rang out from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He froze, then looked around—but saw no one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, I’m hallucinating now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zheng, exhausted, rubbed his temples instinctively—then noticed a figure racing toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw who it was, Cao Zheng could no longer hold back—his eyes instantly filled with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Qing!” His voice trembled as he rushed forward and embraced him tightly, afraid it was a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where have you been? You scared us to death!” Cao Zheng asked anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others nearby also spotted the unharmed Zhou Qing—their tense hearts eased, and they gathered around, faces filled with relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing, still held in Cao Zheng’s arms, felt embarrassed and quickly broke free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine—it was Qingyu Immortal Sect!” He immediately pulled out Ji Xuan’s severed head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Cao Zheng saw the head in Zhou Qing’s hand, his pupils shrank sharply—the others froze in place, eyes wide with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had they just seen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The severed head of Qingyu Immortal Sect’s Grand Elder—held aloft by the Young Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was this possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zheng swallowed hard, stunned into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—you did what?” Cao Zheng asked, voice trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing snorted coldly, his eyes brimming with killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That night, Li Bin came to me—he said he saw my second senior sister’s figure in Yanlong City…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyu Immortal Sect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A unconscious body was carried in by Yun Jing and gently placed on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person was none other than Yuan Ya, familiar to Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This girl is the only one left with solid roots in our sect—and she’s close to Zhou Qing. It was her who showed him the escape route!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Jing brushed his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuan’s Primordial Spirit hovered in midair, nodding, eyes filled with hatred, voice shrill: “This brat tricked me twice—I’ll kill everyone connected to him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ji Xuan’s hatred for Zhou Qing had reached its peak—she longed to tear him into a thousand pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t rage so much. At our age, the body is just a temporary shell—make do with it. You’re never going to cross that final threshold anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Jing sighed softly, his expression calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuan forced down her fury, then turned to the three and urged: “I was careless—I let that brat slip right under my nose. What do we do now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Poison Witch fell silent, then spoke slowly: “Apologies are impossible now. We used Li Bin to steal secrets from Taiqingmen, then killed him and framed Jin Leizong—especially Zhou Qing—he’s struck at Taiqingmen’s very foundation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conflict between both sides is irreconcilable—no amount of compensation will help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the only option left is to quickly seek allies to face Taiqingmen’s wrath.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Poison Witch added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Allies? Who are you looking for? The only one who can now stand up to Taiqingmen is Cangyan Dao Palace!” Lei Zhen’s eyes flashed, and the words slipped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chan Po nodded gravely. “That’s right—it’s Cangyan Dao Palace. But we may need to seek the Sect Master’s opinion first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I agree!” At that moment, Xuan You Xianzi pushed open the door and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze was unusually calm, as if she had already prepared for everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chan Po rose quickly. “It’s merely a delaying tactic, Sect Master—no need to worry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This whole matter began because of me. I’ve dragged all you uncles and the entire Qingyu Immortal Sect into this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Xuan You Xianzi knelt directly and bowed her head to beg forgiveness—but four figures swiftly blocked her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They held her up, their eyes filled with pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sect Master, absolutely not! We’ve said it before—this has nothing to do with you. This is our fate, and it is Qingyu Immortal Sect’s fate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan You Xianzi looked up at the four aged figures before her, tears welling uncontrollably down her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she first entered the sect, her four uncles were at the peak of their vigor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, their hair was streaked white, their bodies no longer straight—but still they toiled tirelessly for the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Sect Master, she owed them so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cangyan Dao Palace’s sacred grounds—who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mountain gate of Cangyan Dao Palace, the guarding disciple raised his voice, alert and wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stern old woman descended from the sky, radiating the aura of a Soul Transformation realm’s peak—every disciple froze, breath held, eyes locked on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the gate’s barrier rippled. Yan Xiao, the Elder stationed here, rushed forward with a beaming smile and bowed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it’s Elder Yun Jing of Qingyu Immortal Sect! We had no idea you’d come—forgive our tardy welcome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Jing did not respond immediately. Her cold gaze swept over them all, finally settling on Yan Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke slowly: “I’ve come today to discuss urgent matters with your Dao Palace’s Sect Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao frowned slightly, yet kept his smile. “May I ask, what matter, Elder? So I may report it accurately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Jing cut straight to the point: “A marriage alliance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Marriage alliance?” Yan Xiao froze, stunned. “With whom?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d heard rumors: Qingyu Immortal Sect’s Sect Master, Xuan You Xianzi, had taken her top disciple Zhu He to Taiqingmen—also for a marriage alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the intended groom? Zhou Qing—the rising star of the younger generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why now was Qingyu Immortal Sect suddenly coming to Cangyan Dao Palace for the same thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had they been rejected by Taiqingmen and now saw Cangyan Dao Palace as a backup?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Jing’s expression remained calm. “The alliance is between our two sects—between our Sect Master and your Dao Palace’s Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao froze again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Master, Sikong Yan, had pursued Xuan You Xianzi for years—but she’d never even looked his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the start of the Five Sects War, our sect struck Qingyu Immortal Sect first. The hatred between us ran deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now Qingyu Immortal Sect proposes marriage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Any other questions?” Yun Jing’s gaze burned into Yan Xiao, cold and sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao snapped back to himself. “No, no! Elder, just wait a moment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Yan Xiao hurried inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Jing stared at the enemy sect she despised, sighing inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could’ve avoided it, she’d rather die than step foot here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, a perfect hand had been shattered by her own missteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed slowly. The atmosphere at the gate grew heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Yan Xiao emerged, his expression complex, a strange look on his face—as if wrestling with something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open the gate. Let me in to speak with him!” Yun Jing stepped forward, voice commanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao bowed slightly—but his face showed no sign of granting entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he said gravely: “Elder, you misunderstand. I’m not here to invite you in—I’m here to deliver a message.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Jing’s brow snapped shut, a flash of irritation in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Sikong Yan had visited Qingyu Immortal Sect countless times to court Xuan You Xianzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, though not intimate, the two sects maintained basic courtesy and contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after the Five Sects War, relations had changed—but not to this degree of disrespect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since Qingyu Immortal Sect had come humbly to propose marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deliver a message? What message?” Yun Jing forced her voice cold, suppressing her rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao took a deep breath, choosing his words carefully. “The Master says your Sect Master is nearly dead. He doesn’t want to become a widower so young.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, if she carries some contagious illness, his frail body won’t survive. So the marriage alliance is off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jin Leizong’s Sect Master, Lei Wuji, is big and strong. You can go bother him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gate guards bit their lips, struggling not to laugh, faces flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Jing trembled with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never imagined Sikong Yan would say such an insulting thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how did he know the Sect Master was dying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that unseen white-robed man him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible. It made no sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Yun Jing, Jin Leizong lies that way. Good riddance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao turned and strode into the barrier, leaving Yun Jing alone at the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Jing’s face burned with humiliation and rage. She whipped her sleeve, snorted coldly, and flew away on her sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Xuan You and the others received the news—their faces turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the five sects in the Eastern Region, the strongest were Taiqingmen and Cangyan Dao Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyu Immortal Sect had already angered Taiqingmen. Now Cangyan Dao Palace stood by, watching the tiger and leopard fight, refusing aid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Tianji Men, their Sect Master, Xuan Ji Zi, had perished in the Linggu Skull Mountain’s secret realm—now they were barely surviving themselves, unable to ally with Qingyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, they were Cangyan Dao Palace’s most loyal lapdogs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the only sect Qingyu Immortal Sect might still ally with was Jin Leizong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the question remained: what leverage could they offer to make Jin Leizong willingly join them against Taiqingmen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Jin Leizong wasn’t foolish. They were still recovering. Without a tempting enough prize, they’d never risk involvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if we leak the Nine You  Lotus Seed secret? We’ve already failed anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chan Po frowned, hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan You Xianzi shook her head slowly, grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What good would that do? Everyone’s already absorbed the seeds. No one can steal them now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And doing this would alienate the other sects—especially Cangyan Dao Palace, which holds ten seeds. Not worth it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zhen agreed: “Yes. One of the four sects may have already secretly severed their spirit. No one’s stupid enough to provoke them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, seated quietly nearby, “Yuan Ya” slowly opened her eyes—but now her gaze was ancient, weary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps there’s one last way to buy us time,” Yuan Ya’s voice spoke—but it was Ji Xuan’s ancient, hoarse tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three turned to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuan, having devoured Yuan Ya’s spiritual sense and successfully possessed her, spoke slowly: “Three Flowers Gather at the Crown. Linggu Skull Mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three froze for a moment—then their eyes blazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brilliant move—drive the tiger to devour the wolf!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost simultaneously, Jin Leizong and Tianji Men received the shocking news from Qingyu Immortal Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t believe it—these people had dared strike at Taiqingmen’s preordained heir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had there been no warning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless of motive, attacking the heir was an open declaration of war—an affront to the entire sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would not be settled easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the show was about to begin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiqingmen, Council Hall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unthinkable! Utterly unthinkable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the details, several Peak Masters glared in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Yue Xiao, Peak Master of Baizhan Peak, slammed his fist down—shattering the redwood desk into two pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was Zhou Qing? A core disciple of Xiao Ling Peak, Taiqingmen’s prodigy, idol to countless young disciples, a Level-Two Array Master—his future boundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d nearly been quietly murdered by those old women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse—they’d tried to frame Jin Leizong, deliberately provoking a war between the two sects. Their cruelty was monstrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Laughable. You thought he was Three Flowers Gathered at the Crown? Why didn’t you say he was Four Flowers Gathered?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Tong Min of Jade Clear Peak wore an angry expression, her tone brimming with mockery and disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Ruan Mingxiu of Cloud Conceal Peak rose to his feet and said: “What’s left to discuss? They’re already shitting on our necks—fight, we must crush them hard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhengyang frowned deeply, glancing at Zhou Qing first, then sweeping his gaze over the group: “You may not know about Xuan You’s condition—and of course, I know she won’t last much longer…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then shared some secret details with his junior disciples, giving them a general understanding of why they had come to Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, the group finally grasped the full reason—and grew even angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is rapid advancement to Foundation Establishment the same as the Three Flowers Converging on the Crown?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then all the prodigies in the entire Level Four spiritual nation ought to die, then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So far, they haven’t sent anyone to explain or negotiate—clearly, they’ve decided to burn everything down. If so, we must be cautious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhengyang said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s said the barefoot have nothing to fear from the shodded; with the sect master about to perish, who knows what outrageous acts the Qingyu Immortal Sect might commit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially our Taiqingmen—six peak masters are in seclusion, likely to reach Great Perfection and emerge within a year or so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others held spirit stones tightly, eagerly awaiting the chance to break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Gao Xuan of Golden Sun Peak understood his sect master’s concerns—especially whether the Qingyu Sect might ally with the Cangyan Dao Palace or other sects?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or worse, might the Cangyan Dao Palace sit back and reap the benefits, stepping in to clean up the wreckage once Taiqingmen and Qingyu Immortal Sect have crippled each other?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Sikong Yan’s mysteries run too deep; his methods are erratic and unpredictable, always leaving people unable to fathom him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if we start a war now, Taiqingmen will inevitably suffer losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then we’d have to spend time healing hidden injuries, delaying our own advancement to Great Perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What might happen during that time? No one can say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we could delay just a few more years, until Taiqingmen has thirteen full Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivators, even if all four sects united, we’d have sufficient strength to stand against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, we cannot retreat an inch—if we do, how will Taiqingmen ever stand again in Lingyun Prefecture?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do they really think we’re easy to bully!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Send Li Bin’s corpse to Jin Leizong first—at least prevent them from forming an alliance!” Gao Xuan said after a pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhengyang nodded in agreement and immediately ordered his subordinates to carry it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianji Sect poses no serious threat to Taiqingmen—we don’t even consider them worth noticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real concern remains the Cangyan Dao Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3308,"2026-06-19T20:13:54.632Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9fe5feb7ddd14c3d7ca1d39f50b28d56537b9b6085a5042f717fb0644c6145cf","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-246","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-244",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--cover.jpg"]
