189: Qingyun's first disciple, Baili Hongzhuang
Outside Zhao Family City.
Five li away, on a mountain peak.
Lin Qinghuang stood with her hands clasped behind her back, silently gazing at Zhao Family City. A gentle breeze swept by, making her long hair dance. Her azure long dress fluttered in the wind, and a faint fragrance permeated the air.
Xie Weilou flew over and stood beside Lin Qinghuang, glancing at Zhao Family City.
Lin Qinghuang slowly spoke, “Has Mend the Sky Defect been refined?”
“Yes!”
Xie Weilou nodded slightly.
Lin Qinghuang softly said, “In the path of cultivation, the soul is a must. Only by refining the body, refining the soul, and refining the Dao can one glimpse the true heaven and earth.”
Xie Weilou stared at Lin Qinghuang, a smile appearing on his face, “Qinghuang, you are truly mysterious!”
Qinghuang did not continue the topic but instead said, “Many people from Hengyuan Sect have arrived and have already sealed off Zhao Family City. While investigating the reason for the Zhao family’s destruction, they are also searching for something, which should be that bronze egg.”
Xie Weilou mused, “That bronze egg is very strange. It silently devoured many items I took from the Zhao family’s treasure vault.”
Lin Qinghuang said, “I have a hunch that what’s inside the bronze egg might not be a spiritual beast, but perhaps some kind of malevolent creature. Be careful, don’t fall into a ditch.”
“Don’t worry!”
Xie Weilou smiled indifferently. He then added, “You must have other objectives for coming to Heng Province this time.”
The mission Lin Qinghuang took was actually to investigate the reason for the disappearance of those cultivators in Heng Province. This matter had already been clarified, and it was related to the Zhao family. Now that the Zhao family was destroyed, the mission was considered complete.
Lin Qinghuang nodded lightly, “I need to go to Mist Hidden Gate. There’s something I need there. The mission details were already sent back to the Divine Court the day before yesterday. The Pacification Envoy also sent a message, asking me to help him with a private matter, but I don’t have time right now. How about you help me with it?”
During her trip to Heng Province, Xie Weilou obtained Mend the Sky Defect, and she also had her own goal of acquiring some items.
Xie Weilou asked, “What is it?”
Lin Qinghuang said, “The Qingyun Sect in Yuan City seems to have encountered some trouble. Go and help them resolve it. This Qingyun Sect is just a third-rate cultivation sect; its strongest member is only at the Tuojiang Realm Peak. This sect has some connection with the Pacification Envoy.”
“This matter also seems to involve the Hengyuan Sect, but you don’t need to worry about that. Just resolve the immediate trouble for the Qingyun Sect. The Pacification Envoy will handle the rest himself! The Pacification Envoy has been very kind to me over the years, so I must help him with this.”
“Alright! Leave this matter to me. As for you, Mist Hidden Gate is the second-largest sect in Heng Province, with powerful cultivators guarding it. Will you be alright going there?”
Xie Weilou looked at Lin Qinghuang.
A faint smile appeared on Lin Qinghuang’s face, “No big problem!”
After stepping into the Dao Repository Realm, she could use more and more trump cards, so she wouldn't be as vulnerable as before.
Taking something was not too difficult for her.
“……”
Xie Weilou smiled indifferently and didn’t say much more.
Lin Qinghuang said, “After I finish my business, I will go to Yuan City to find you.”
After speaking, she flew away.
Xie Weilou watched Lin Qinghuang’s disappearing figure. He changed his face and turned to leave.

Yuan City.
At the foot of Qingyun Mountain.
A group of Qingyun Sect disciples tightly guarded the path up the mountain. Their expressions were extremely solemn. During this period, Qingyun Sect had encountered great trouble, many people had died, and even their sect master had been seriously injured.
“Stop, who are you?”
When Xie Weilou walked over, these Qingyun Sect disciples immediately stopped him, their eyes filled with vigilance.
Xie Weilou smiled faintly, “I am Fan Wujiu. Someone said that Qingyun Sect has encountered trouble and asked me to come and help!”
“……”
These Qingyun Sect disciples were stunned for a second upon hearing this.
“Everyone, move aside!”
At this moment, a clear, cold voice rang out, and a woman in a red long dress walked over.
The woman had an excellent figure, curvaceous, with a red silk ribbon tied around her waist, outlining a perfect waistline. Her skin was fair and delicate, her dark hair cascaded down, her eyebrows were gracefully arched, her face was exquisite, and her demeanor was slightly stern, giving off a feeling of “do not approach strangers.”
She exuded the aura of a Shackles Realm Mid-Stage cultivator. Such cultivation among young people was not considered too weak.
“Greetings, Senior Sister Baili Hongzhuang.”
Upon seeing the woman, the Qingyun Sect disciples quickly saluted, then made way.
The woman looked at Xie Weilou, scrutinized him, and a strange look appeared in her eyes; she couldn't see through him at all. She cupped her fists and said, “This humble one is Baili Hongzhuang, the chief disciple of Qingyun Sect. May I ask if Senior Fan is from the Divine Court?”
Xie Weilou smiled and shook his head, “No! But my being here is related to someone from the Divine Court, whose surname is Baili.”
The woman in front of him also had the surname Baili.
It seemed she had some connection with Baili Changqing.
Baili Hongzhuang, hearing this, knew there was no problem. She quickly said, “Senior Fan, please follow me up the mountain.”
“Mm!”
Xie Weilou nodded slightly.
Subsequently, the two flew up Qingyuan Mountain.
Qingyun Sect.
In a pavilion.
Xie Weilou held a cup of fragrant tea and looked at Baili Hongzhuang, “Miss Baili, please tell me about the trouble Qingyun Sect is facing. That person only told me to come here to resolve the trouble, but didn’t say too much.”
Baili Hongzhuang nodded lightly, “Three months ago, a Seven Fiends Sect appeared fifty li from Qingyun Sect. The Seven Fiends Sect frequently came to provoke Qingyun Sect, seemingly eyeing Qingyun Sect’s mountain, intending to occupy it.”
“Just half a month ago, Qingyun Sect disciples discovered a spiritual ginseng outside. Seven Fiends Sect disciples went to snatch it, and both sides fought fiercely. The Seven Fiends Sect then used this as an excuse to attack our Qingyun Sect. In that battle, many Qingyun Sect disciples died, and even my master was seriously injured. The Seven Fiends Sect has issued a warning, demanding that our Qingyun Sect surrender, otherwise they will surely wipe out the entire Qingyun Sect. Today is the deadline.”
“……”
Xie Weilou calmly sipped his fragrant tea.
Baili Hongzhuang said with a complex expression, “My master has always been strong and unwilling to ask anyone for help, so this time it was actually me who sent out the distress call. Before this, I didn’t know if that person from the Divine Court would act…”
Xie Weilou wasn’t interested in the relationship between Baili Hongzhuang and the Pacification Envoy. He asked indifferently, “What is the cultivation level of the strongest person in the Seven Fiends Sect?”
Baili Hongzhuang said in a solemn voice, “Dao Repository Realm Initial Stage, and the Seven Fiends Sect seems to have some connection with a certain senior from the Hengyuan Sect.”
The Hengyuan Sect is one of the Seven Great Sects of Great Xia, with profound foundations and Dragon Transformation Realm powerhouses presiding over it.
Of course, the so-called Seven Great Sects are still insignificant in front of a behemoth like the Sacred Academy.
The Sacred Academy is the ceiling of existence in Great Xia, while the Seven Great Sects can only be considered the second tier.
The strength of a force primarily depends on the Divine Court. Below the Divine Court, all are ants.
“Dao Repository Initial Stage, you say? Understood. I can handle this matter.”
Xie Weilou nodded slightly.
“Thank you, Senior!”
Baili Hongzhuang felt a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
The person in front of her was so confident, not even fearing a Dao Repository Realm powerhouse, so his strength must be even greater. If he acted, perhaps Qingyun Sect could overcome this calamity.
