Chapter 471

"Also, An Shigeng and An Yunshan's plan must be accelerated."

"But first, let Ji Yaohua present the Dragon Head Token."

The An father and son within Great Song were being covertly driven by Great Yuan.

"Yes! This old minister understands. I shall make a personal trip to Great Song at once."

Yelu Chu finally understood Tie Muzhen's meaning and immediately selected several National Guardian Revered Ones to head to Great Song.

This time, he not only wanted the Dragon Head Token, but also intended to try to obtain the Heart Moon Fox—one of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon—from Shen Bijun.

……

Azure Dragon Peak, Azure Dragon Shanzhuang.

Senior Xiaoyaozi had just returned to Azure Dragon Peak and exchanged recent information with Zhang Sanfeng.

That day, the Hundred Flowers Ranking was just announced.

"Fourth Dragon Head, regarding the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, could it possibly…"

The Water God Ancestor beside him was the first to ask.

"I don't know…"

Senior Xiaoyaozi naturally knew what the Water God Ancestor wanted to ask—whether Ximen Wudi could match the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.

But this, he truly did not know!

"However…"

"The power of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, what it currently is, no one yet knows."

"But I have experienced more of the Great Dragon Head's power!"

"Oh?"

Zhang Sanfeng and the Water God Ancestor, upon hearing this, immediately looked over with interest.

"Before going to the War God Palace, I felt the gap between me and the Great Dragon Head was like the stars compared to the sun and moon."

"Now… heh! I instead feel the gap is even greater!"

Senior Xiaoyaozi gave a self-mocking smile, shook his head, and looked up at the sky with infinite longing.

"What? How could that be?"

Zhang Sanfeng and the Water God Ancestor exchanged glances.

In Great Ming's Jingcheng, Senior Xiaoyaozi had crippled the Fist Dao God—who was reputed to be You Dongying's number one talent—in a single move.

And at the War God Palace, he had subdued the Black Dragon.

Such strength surely meant he had long been a great expert at the mid-stage of the Supreme Mythical Realm!

How could it be that despite clearly progressing, he felt the gap had grown larger?

"Only by climbing one more floor do you better know your own insignificance."

Senior Xiaoyaozi said this with his lips, but in his heart he was not discouraged in the slightest.

After all, the stronger Bijingxi Sect was, the better it was!

"Besides! Why must one always compare with the Great Dragon Head…"

"Right!"

The Water God Ancestor nodded repeatedly in deep agreement.

"Then those Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon—shall we deal with them or not?"

Now, the subordinate forces of the Qinglong Society had all been subjected to frenzied strikes by various factions.

The only Dragon Head of Azure Dragon Peak who had been out, Zhang Sanfeng, had been handling these matters all along.

Constantly deploying troops and arranging generals had left even Zhang Sanfeng feeling somewhat strained.

Fortunately, now that Senior Xiaoyaozi had returned, there was one more person to take charge and discuss things with.

"Although we don't know what this power actually is?"

"But I think if the Great Dragon Head were here, he certainly would not tolerate them reaching for it."

"It's just that, as you've said, our forces are temporarily scattered, and indeed insufficient to deal with the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon."

Senior Xiaoyaozi pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh,

"I've got it!"

"Isn't this Li Qinglu the granddaughter of Li Qiushui?"

"May Li Canghai is precisely Li Qiushui's younger sister."

"Why don't we send Li Canghai to Western Xia to find Li Qiushui and directly demand Li Qinglu and that Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon?"

"I think Western Xia and Li Qiushui certainly wouldn't dare refuse the Qinglong Society."

Senior Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard and smiled, looking quite pleased with his scheme.

"Fourth Dragon Head, your stratagem is workable, but unfortunately Li Canghai is not at Azure Dragon Peak right now…"

Zhang Sanfeng gave a wry smile,

"Recently Great Han has been unstable—even Zhang Jiao and the others, who had already died, have mysteriously reappeared."

"Not only May Li Canghai, but ten Altar Masters have been dispatched, along with the Four Seasons Dharma Protector 'Autumn Moon'."

The Qinglong Society has three hundred and sixty-five branch altars, and each altar's master is an expert like Ye Gucheng or Yan Shisan.

Dispatching ten at once, plus May, and the 'Autumn Moon' Dharma Protector—truly shows extreme importance attached to Great Han.

"Behind this Great Han, it is clearly the Three Great Imperial Dynasties or the Zhoutianxia Society stirring things up in the background."

Senior Xiaoyaozi sighed upon hearing this and asked,

"Has February found any relevant clues? Can we confirm which imperial dynasty it is?"

Once confirmed, even if the Great Dragon Head were absent, Senior Xiaoyaozi would dare mobilize the Qinglong Society to give those forces behind the scenes a harsh lesson.

After all, the dignity of the Qinglong Society cannot be offended!

Back then, it was merely that the Yihua Palace was being harassed, and Wu Zetian wanted a copy of the "Mingyu Wu Gong."

Ximen Wudi ordered the Qinglong Society to strike back hard, hitting the Great Tang so badly that it has been deliberately avoiding conflict ever since.

"Not yet!"

February is the one among the twelve hall masters responsible for infiltration and intelligence gathering.

Most of the Qinglong Society's intelligence is collected and compiled by February.

"Fine, then let's just casually send one of our Qinglong Society's young talents to Western Xia!"

Senior Xiaoyaozi frowned; with no news from February, they could only wait for word.

"Young talents?"

Zhang Sanfeng's expression turned strange,

"Fourth Dragon Head, I'm afraid that's not quite appropriate?"

"What's not appropriate?"

Senior Xiaoyaozi looked at Zhang Sanfeng's odd grin and suddenly understood,

"Exactly, exactly! This Li Qinglu, no matter what, must be offered to the Great Dragon Head!"

Because of May's Li Canghai, everyone knows what the Great Dragon Head's tastes are.

Don't believe it? Look inside the Qinglong Shanzhuang — half of those on the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking are right here.

"Then let's send someone who already has a wife, is a bit older, and whose Wu Gong is passable."

Senior Xiaoyaozi casually described the type,

"And we must tell this person not to harbor any improper thoughts."

"Bringing back Li Qinglu and that Fang Ritu would be a great merit."

"Seventh Dragon Head, do you have a candidate?"

As Senior Xiaoyaozi was describing it, Zhang Sanfeng immediately thought of someone,

"The newly appointed thirty-second sub-altar master, Er Yue Er."

"This man already has a family, and he's relatively older — I think he's the most suitable."

"It's just that his cultivation has only just barely stepped into the Land Immortal realm."

"Then it's him. Give him one Po Yuan Dan in advance!"

"Just having entered the Land Immortal realm, I'm afraid it'll be hard for him to complete this mission."

Senior Xiaoyaozi knew well that the key to this demand for Li Qinglu and Fang Ritu was not Western Xia's attitude.
