Chapter 171: The Lingerie-Sect is defined as a Demonic Sect

"Your Master is currently settled in a safe place. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to bring her back, so rest assured, she is fine."

Jiang Xun looked at Qin Miaoyin and comforted her.

"That's great." Upon hearing this, Qin Miaoyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qingwan." Jiang Xun smiled, then called out toward the room.

"Coming!" Lin Qingwan's voice came quickly, and then Lin Qingwan opened the door. She was wearing a layer of thin gauze that was almost transparent. This outfit made Qin Miaoyin's little face turn bright red, and she hurriedly turned her head away, not daring to look directly at Lin Qingwan.

Jiang Xun, however, felt his eyes light up. Lin Qingwan's pure appearance combined with this outfit truly created a strong sense of contrast!

"Sister Miaoyin, would you like to join us?" Lin Qingwan looked at Qin Miaoyin and smiled.

"You two go ahead!" Upon hearing this, Qin Miaoyin blushed deeply and ran away at full speed.

Jiang Xun then walked quickly toward Lin Qingwan, picked her up, and walked into the room.

————

In the afternoon, after leaving Lin Qingwan's room, Jiang Xun was leisurely drinking tea on a lounge chair in the courtyard, preparing to rest before continuing to look for Tang Ying's corpse.

Unexpectedly, Tu Qing landed from the sky with a grave expression, with Zhong Lingqing and Yin Ningyu following by her side.

It was rare for Yin Ningyu and Tu Qing to get along without so much hostility.

"Senior Brother, something has happened."

Tu Qing looked at Jiang Xun and said.

"What is it?" Jiang Xun asked in confusion.

"We have been completely defined as a Demonic Sect."

Zhong Lingqing sighed.

"Hmm?" Jiang Xun was also stunned upon hearing this: "What's the situation? We haven't done anything recently, have we?"

"It was my oversight." Tu Qing bit her lip, looking like she had done something wrong, and then hesitated, appearing embarrassed to speak.

"Sigh." Yin Ningyu sighed and gently patted Tu Qing on the shoulder to comfort her. It seemed that after the two of them "resisted" Jiang Xun together yesterday, their relationship had improved quite a bit.

"Let me say it. When the Lingerie-Sect relocated, we forgot to bring someone," Yin Ningyu said, looking at Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun frowned upon hearing this, and a flash of inspiration struck his mind: "That kid Zhang Yuan?"

"Yes." Yin Ningyu nodded helplessly.

"After leaving the Lingerie-Sect, the Formation that trapped him gradually lost its effect. I don't know when he escaped. I think it's because he brought out substantive evidence to report the Lingerie-Sect."

Zhong Lingqing looked at Jiang Xun and said.

"Evidence... sigh." Jiang Xun thought for a moment and understood.

That kid Zhang Yuan was responsible for burying the disciples who had been harvested to death; he knew better than anyone where the bodies were. Presumably, after reporting it to Tianwai Island, he took people to the back mountain of the Lingerie-Sect to see those corpses.

"After that, we will no longer enjoy the boost from the Heavenly Dao Mark and will be unable to increase our cultivation speed. Moreover, we will be seen as a thorn in the side by the sects," Yin Ningyu said.

Although the Baiyun Sect is gone now and other sects are not to be feared at all, the fact that Tianwai Island will not take action against the Tianwu Sect does not mean they will not take action against the Lingerie-Sect.

Furthermore, Tu Qingtian has long intended to merge the Lingerie-Sect. Perhaps this time, he might take the opportunity to let the Wushang Pavilion take the lead and bring the sects to attack the Lingerie-Sect.

Jiang Xun saw the fate of the Baiyun Sect with his own eyes, and he absolutely did not want that to happen to the Lingerie-Sect.

He had sworn to Cang Xingling back then not to kill Zhang Yuan; he never expected it would lead to such a mess.

"Spies left in Tianji City reported that people from Tianwai Island have already gone to Lingxiao Mountain to investigate. Presumably, they already know about us moving away, and it shouldn't take long for them to find our current location."

Tu Qing said with her head lowered.

It was because of her negligence that the Lingerie-Sect had now become a thorn in the side of Tianwai Island.

What a coincidence; this happened just as Jiang Xun returned.

If Jiang Xun were still in the Dungeon of the Tianwu Sect, he could have asked Tu Nan or Tu Wan about the reaction of the Wushang Pavilion.

"Don't panic. Now that the Baiyun Sect has been destroyed, those sects won't dare to act easily for a while. Even with Tianwai Island leading, they still have lingering fears about the Tianwu Sect and are guarding against them making moves behind their backs."

Jiang Xun looked at Tu Qing and continued: "You should go ask Master first to see what the reaction is from the Wushang Pavilion."

Jiang Xun already knew that the true master of the Wushang Pavilion was Tu Qingtian, so it was very likely that Tu Qingtian would take this opportunity to propose cooperation with the Lingerie-Sect.

When Jiang Xun was released, Tu Nan was at most scolded by Tu Qingtian. The reason she was placed in confinement was because Jiang Xun knew the secret of the Wushang Pavilion, which was what angered Tu Qingtian the most.

"You go find Master; I will contact the people of the Canghe Dynasty." Cang Xingling herself is a disciple of Tianwai Island, and Zhang Yuan is alive because of her. Jiang Xun wanted to see if Cang Xingling could give him an explanation this time.

"Okay, I'll go right now." Tu Qing nodded, then flew away with Zhong Lingqing.

"Tu Qing just became Sect Master, and she still lacks detail in many things. Don't blame her," Yin Ningyu said, looking at Jiang Xun, surprisingly.

"I didn't expect you to speak up for her," Jiang Xun said with a smile upon hearing this.

"She's just a little girl who was forced into this position. Look at her; she doesn't look like a Sect Master at all. Besides, I also have responsibility for the fact that Zhang Yuan wasn't taken away," Yin Ningyu said with a helpless smile.

Jealousy is one thing, but major sect affairs are another; she still knew how to distinguish between the two.

"Don't worry, I won't blame you all. Since things have happened, we must solve the problem." Jiang Xun nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yin Ningyu kissed Jiang Xun's cheek lightly, then flew out.

After watching Yin Ningyu leave, Jiang Xun took out the Golden Communication Jade Tube to contact Cang Xingling.

"You told me not to kill Zhang Yuan, and now something has happened. See what you're going to do about it." Jiang Xun told Cang Xingling the whole story and then said.

"Big Brother, you didn't keep an eye on Zhang Yuan, and you're blaming me for that?" Cang Xingling said helplessly after hearing it.

"If I had just slaughtered him back then, there wouldn't be this trouble today," Jiang Xun pouted.

"You're just trying to frame me!" Cang Xingling shouted.

That's right, Jiang Xun was indeed trying to frame her, hoping to stop the sects from crusading against the Lingerie-Sect through the Canghe Dynasty.

"Don't say so much for now. Are you at Tianwai Island?" Jiang Xun continued to ask.

"I'm at home. I also just received the news, telling all disciples of Tianwai Island to go back and gather. It sounds like a big move. I didn't expect it to be to crusade against the Lingerie-Sect."

"So fast?" Jiang Xun was very surprised upon hearing this.

"When we first met, didn't Senior Brother Ling Zhangyi say that Tianwai Island had been eyeing your Lingerie-Sect for a long time, but they were always troubled by the lack of evidence? Now that they have evidence, of course they are taking action immediately."

Cang Xingling said as if it were a matter of course.

"So now that you know it's a crusade against the Lingerie-Sect, what do you plan to do? Will you help me out?" Jiang Xun said helplessly.

"Help... the affairs of Tianwai Island are not something the Canghe Dynasty can interfere with," Cang Xingling said, shrugging her shoulders, "I think you had better run away while you still can and stop worrying about that Lingerie-Sect."
