189: Chapter 189 Achieving Sainthood Through the Physical Body.

As Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan's voice fell,

Chen Yan and the others instantly fell silent.

The Tongtian Alliance!

These two words were like a giant rock smashing into the lake of their hearts.

According to Duobao Pavilion's intelligence, this was the behemoth that had wiped out the Feng Clan in one fell swoop and possessed over a dozen Tribulation Transcendence Stage old monsters.

They had appeared again?

Leng Qingshuang's face was tense, and her knuckles turned white as she clenched her hands.

She slowly turned around, her gaze cutting like a knife toward Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan: "The Tongtian Alliance? For me?"

Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan nodded, his expression solemn: "Indeed. The reason I called you back today was for this matter."

He looked around and lowered his voice: "There are too many eyes and ears here. Follow me to the inner hall to talk."

Chen Yan and Leng Qingshuang exchanged a glance.

The Revered Master and disciple followed Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan into the inner hall.

Xiao Shiyu wanted to follow them in, but she was stopped by a look from Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan.

"Shiyu, stay on guard outside. Do not let anyone approach."

Xiao Shiyu pouted, but she knew the importance of the situation.

She could only obediently stand guard outside the door.

Inside the inner hall.

Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan waved his hand to set up layers of Restrictions.

After doing this, he turned to look at the Revered Master and disciple.

"Where should I begin..."

He sighed and sat down in the main seat.

"First, let me ask you something."

"Do you know why the Feng Clan was destroyed back then?"

Chen Yan frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan's intentional suspense.

How could they know the truth behind the Feng Clan's destruction?

Revered Master's own memories were blurry; wasn't the information they knew about the Feng Clan told to them by this old man in the first place?

Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan smiled and didn't keep them in suspense any longer, continuing:

"Sword Sovereign, do you know that there are seven spirit pearls scattered between heaven and earth?"

Seven spirit pearls?

Chen Yan's heart stirred. What on earth was that?

Seemingly seeing the confusion in their eyes, Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan continued:

"Legend has it that when the Sky Profound Continent was formed, the Laws of Heaven and Earth condensed into seven spirit pearls."

"They are: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Lightning."

"Each spirit pearl contains the ultimate power of a Law of Heaven and Earth, possessing absolute suppression over its respective attribute!"

"It is said that as long as one gathers all seven spirit pearls, they can open the path to the heavens! One can ignore any rules of heaven and earth, Revered Master the Laws of the Great Dao, and reach the Saint Realm directly!"

"Such a temptation is enough to make any power, any person, go mad!"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Leng Qingshuang again.

"And the Feng Clan was the guardian of the wind spirit bead back then."

Saint Realm!?

Chen Yan was momentarily stunned.

Wasn't the strongest Realm in the Sky Profound Continent the Tribulation Transcendence Stage?

He had never even heard of the Realms after Undergoing Tribulation!

Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan looked at Chen Yan and gave a chuckle:

"You haven't even stepped into the Mahayana Realm yet, so naturally, you don't understand the Fourteen Realms of Immortal Cultivation!"

"After Undergoing Tribulation, the sequence is the Land Immortal Realm, Quasi-Saint Realm, Saint Realm, Quasi-Emperor Realm, and Great Emperor Realm!"

He continued: "And three hundred years ago, the Tongtian Alliance learned the news of the wind spirit bead."

"They plotted to destroy the Feng Clan, but even after searching the entire Feng Clan and slaughtering tens of thousands of clansmen,"

"They never found a trace of the wind spirit bead."

He looked at Leng Qingshuang.

"Until recently, my intelligence network finally obtained a clue."

"The Tongtian Alliance suspects that the wind spirit bead was not lost and is still within the Feng Clan!"

"However, it requires the Feng Clan Bloodline to sense and find it!"

Hearing this, Chen Yan's heart instantly tightened, and he felt a chill throughout his body!

The fact that Revered Master was a survivor of the Feng Clan, had her Feng Clan Bloodline awakened, and mastered Wind Spirit Intent was not a secret, so the people of the Tongtian Alliance would naturally know!

In the eyes of the Tongtian Alliance, Revered Master was now a mobile treasure-seeking rat!

As long as they followed Revered Master's trail and guided her back to the Feng Clan Ancestral Land, the wind spirit bead would automatically appear!

So, everything they had done on this journey had been clearly calculated by the Tongtian Alliance?

Did the Tongtian Alliance truly have such heaven-reaching methods?

Seeing the expressions of Chen Yan and Leng Qingshuang, Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan knew they had understood the gravity of the situation.

"According to Duobao Pavilion's intelligence, the Tongtian Alliance currently possesses two spirit pearls: the water spirit bead and the earth spirit pearl."

Chen Yan's heart tightened.

Two already.

"And Medicine King Valley also has a wood spirit pearl."

Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan continued.

"As for the remaining four..."

His eyes flickered: "Aside from the wind spirit bead, which is confirmed to be in the Feng Clan Ancestral Land, the gold, fire, and lightning ones are still missing."

When Chen Yan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

The fire spirit pearl!

The fire spirit pearl inside him, which he had obtained from the Lihuo Immortal Abode!

Fortunately, apart from a few people from the Taiqing Sword Sect, everyone else present who knew about it had been killed by them!

Therefore, Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan didn't know, and the Tongtian Alliance didn't know either!

Leng Qingshuang suddenly asked, "Why are you telling us all this?"

Her voice was as cold as ever, but it contained a hint of scrutiny.

Chen Yan also narrowed his eyes, instantly activating the Eye of Good and Evil.

But seeing the yellowish-green goodwill value above Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan's head, he was filled with doubt.

Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan smiled.

"Is the Sword Sovereign doubting my motives?"

Leng Qingshuang did not speak.

But her silence was the best answer.

Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan didn't seem to care.

He slowly stood up and walked to the window.

"Little Friend Chen, why do you think I spread those rumors?"

"To tie you and Shiyu together?"

Chen Yan frowned.

This was also something he had been unable to figure out.

Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan turned around, his gaze deep.

"I did this for only one reason."

"To protect you."

Chen Yan couldn't help but curl his lips and sneer:

"Protect? Using rumors to protect people?"

"Do you take us for three-year-olds?"

Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan was unperturbed.

"Little Friend Chen, don't be anxious."

"Do you know the strength of the Tongtian Alliance?"

Chen Yan did not know!

Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan didn't wait for his answer and replied to himself:

"According to the intelligence gathered by my Duobao Pavilion, the Tongtian Alliance has twelve Tribulation Transcendence Stage experts on the surface."

"Over thirty in the Mahayana Realm."

"As for the Body Integration Stage and Dharma Image Realm, they are countless."

"Tell me, can the Taiqing Sword Sect afford to offend such a power?"

Chen Yan's expression instantly changed slightly.

This force was indeed terrifying.

Although the Taiqing Sword Sect was the leader of the Righteous Path,

In terms of high-end combat power, it really couldn't compare to the Tongtian Alliance.

Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan spoke again.

"But what if the Taiqing Sword Sect is joined by Duobao Pavilion?"

"And then add Medicine King Valley?"

He held up a finger.

"As long as our relationship appears close enough,"

"The Tongtian Alliance will have to weigh the consequences before they act."

Damn!

This old fox!

Chen Yan understood instantly.

Xiao Linfan was using them as chess pieces!

First, he spread rumors to tie the Taiqing Sword Sect and Duobao Pavilion together.

Then he used this to separate Medicine King Valley from them.

To keep others from being wary.

Between these overt and covert moves, he could make the Tongtian Alliance hesitant to act.

The Tongtian Alliance would have to weigh many factors before making a move.

Not to mention that behind these three powers—Taiqing Sword Sect, Duobao Pavilion, and Medicine King Valley—there was also an equally intricate Alliance!

Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan looked at Chen Yan's expression and nodded in satisfaction.

"A child who can be taught."

Chen Yan took a deep breath.

He had to admit.

This old fox indeed had some skill.

But he still had a question.

"What about Medicine King Valley..."

Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan sneered: "Medicine King Valley has the wood spirit pearl; the Tongtian Alliance will move against them sooner or later!"

"Once the Tongtian Alliance moves against Medicine King Valley,"

"You will be natural allies."

"If the Tongtian Alliance wants to deal with all three powers at once,"

"They must divide and conquer them."

"This way, everyone gets a chance to catch their breath."

Hearing this, Chen Yan felt admiration but also cursed inwardly.

Old fox.

You really have one scheme after another!

Leng Qingshuang was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke:

"Pavilion Master Xiao, please tell me the location of the Feng Clan Ancestral Land and give me all the information regarding it!"

A flash of light crossed Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan's eyes.

"The Sword Sovereign wants to..."

Leng Qingshuang interrupted him: "Just tell me."

Pavilion Master Xiao Linfan pondered for a moment, then took out an old jade tablet from his sleeve.

"This is the entrance token for the Feng Clan Ancestral Land; it records the various layers of Restrictions within!"

He handed the jade tablet to Leng Qingshuang and smiled: "The Sword Sovereign has already awakened the Feng Clan Bloodline."

"And mastered the Wind Spirit Intent."

"Perhaps you really can find the wind spirit bead."

He took a step closer and whispered to Leng Qingshuang:

"If you can make the spirit pearl recognize you as its Revered Master,"

"You will be able to completely Revered Master the Law of Wind."

"At that time..."

"With the Wind Spirit Intent at Major Achievement, you can ignore the Lightning Tribulation and become a Saint with your Physical Body."

"Then, no one on the Sky Profound Continent will be your match."
