231: Master Zhang is indeed a master.

Liu Yuyan was a bit worried and asked, "Little Jiang, if we go to the Xuan Lei Sect, will it affect your Sect?"

"Don't worry! Even if those Forbidden Ground Family forces come, it'll be fine. Qing Di is there holding the fort; he was likely a Peak-level powerhouse of the Forbidden Ground forces before."

Wu Jiutian said, "I've seen some intelligence on the Forbidden Ground before. Rumor has it that this Qing Di was once a Xuan Emperor Realm Ninth Stage super powerhouse."

"Is he that strong? He actually reached the Peak of this continent!"

"Yes! The intelligence said he was framed and then besieged by dozens of Emperor Realm experts until he died. I didn't expect him to still be alive. At that level, his methods are truly heaven-reaching!"

Meanwhile, within the Mountain Moving Sect, in a Cultivation place with a special Magic Array, the Bloodline Awakening Room.

Shi Bao, whom they hadn't seen for months, had actually begun to awaken the Savage King Bloodline!

The entire Mountain Moving Sect was shaken. They immediately activated the Sect-protecting array, refused to receive outside guests, and prohibited the Sect's Disciples from entering or leaving.

Inside the Bloodline Awakening Room, Shi Bao's aura began to surge, and his Profound Energy Realm broke through frantically.

The next day

The entire Profound Realm received news of the Shen Xuan Alliance's destruction. When they learned that the ones who had acted were actually a group of Disciples from the younger generation, they were even more shocked!

Inside a conference room in the Mountain Moving Sect

vice sect master Ox Flood said, "That kid is now at the Breakthrough stage. This time, he will definitely break through to the Xuan King Realm in one go!"

Sect Master Ox Two nodded and said, "Mm! Over all these years, he is the most perfect Savage King Bloodline awakener!"

"Those kids from the Southern Region are all extraordinary. The one taken in by the Shadow Gate also seems to be Awakening their unique Ghost Bloodline; the Shadow Gate has now also activated its protective array. The other kid named Jiang Ye is truly Heaven-Defying, having almost single-handedly wiped out the Shen Xuan Alliance."

Ox Two said, "It seems the future of the Profound Realm will be dominated by our Mountain Moving Sect, the Shadow Gate, and the Xuan Lei Sect."

"Mm, the three of us should form an Alliance when the time comes. The relationship between those kids from the Southern Region is quite deep."

"That's a good thing; the Shen Xuan Alliance will no longer be controlling the entire Profound Realm from behind the scenes. However... I heard that behind the Shen Xuan Alliance is one of the four great Family forces of the Forbidden Ground."

Ox Flood frowned slightly and said, "That depends on how the Xuan Lei Sect responds. I hope they can settle this matter."

Xuan Lei Sect

Jiang Ye arrived with Wu Jiutian's Family. After seeking the opinions of the Sect Master and the Old Ancestors, they all welcomed Wu Jiutian to become a Grand Elder of the Xuan Lei Sect. This was the first Emperor Realm powerhouse for their Xuan Lei Sect.

Now, everyone in the Xuan Lei Sect was extremely happy. Not only could the Heavenly Thunder Pool be used long-term, but many of the resources obtained from destroying the Shen Xuan Alliance were also distributed to the entire Sect.

Now, everyone in the Xuan Lei Sect had ample cultivation resources. Within a year, their overall strength would surely take a giant leap forward.

Jiang Ye's status in the Xuan Lei Sect was now in a league of its own, with his prestige even surpassing that of several Old Ancestors.

In a tea room within Lei Ming's residential palace, Jiang Ye and Lei Ming were chatting.

Lei Ming said, "Have you heard about your two brothers?"

"Hmm? Did something happen to them?" Jiang Ye asked hurriedly.

"It's a good thing, don't worry! News just came from the Mountain Moving Sect proposing that our Xuan Lei Sect, the Shadow Gate, and they form an Alliance. Your two brothers have already awakened their respective special Bloodlines and are now in the final stage of their Breakthrough."

"Awakened Bloodlines?" Jiang Ye was very puzzled.

"Yes! The Mountain Moving Sect has the Savage King Bloodline, and the Shadow Gate has the Ghost Bloodline. The purer the Bloodline Power they awaken, the more terrifying their strength will be."

"Savage King? Ghost? It seems they really stumbled upon a great Opportunity. No wonder they haven't come to find me even after hearing that I took down the Shen Xuan Alliance."

Lei Ming said with some concern, "There's another important matter to tell you. Behind the Shen Xuan Alliance is the Wu Family, one of the four great Family forces of the Forbidden Ground. They will likely come knocking before long."

However, after Sect Master Feng obtained the array-building Materials brought back from the Shen Xuan Alliance, he immediately led the Elders who had previously set up the array to upgrade and reinforce our array. After this upgrade, it's estimated to be more than twice as strong as the previous Sect-protecting array."

"That's good! Even if they invade, besides the array, we have Qing Di holding the fort. I just don't know how much of his strength he has recovered now."

Lei Ming said cautiously, "I checked some old intelligence later, and I heard this Qing Di is not simple! He is a Genius from a Hidden Family. Later, due to Family strife, he was framed by another faction of the Family and encountered a siege, which is how he ended up in this state."

"So that's how it is. I never had a chance to be alone with him to ask. Revered Master, what does 'Hidden Family' mean? Isn't it just those four great Family forces of the Forbidden Ground?" Jiang Ye asked.

Lei Ming shook his head and said, "Of course not! Hidden Families are even more powerful existences. Let me put it this way: in front of a Hidden Family, those so-called four great families are just underlings. If they're told to be soft, they wouldn't dare to be hard!"

"Huh?" Jiang Ye was stunned. "Revered Master is indeed Revered Master! This analogy of yours is very vivid and graphic; it makes sense immediately!"

"Cough, cough! Revered Master was young once too."

"Then, besides marrying Senior Brother Lei's mother, how many other women have you been involved with?"

"Cough, cough! I suddenly remembered an urgent matter I need to handle. I'm leaving first; you go play by yourself!"

"Eh??" Jiang Ye was stunned as he saw Lei Ming disappear. "What urgent matter do you have to handle? Sect Master Feng is setting up the array, and you don't even know how. Honestly! So old and yet still so reckless."

Finally, Jiang Ye went to find Qing Di. He arrived at his residence and saw him leisurely drinking tea in the courtyard.

"Qing Di, you're quite leisurely! You brought back so many Emperor Realm experts; don't you need to continue recovering your Realm?"

"I've reached the limit; emperor spirit qi no longer has any effect on me. There's still some left; do you want it?"

"What use would it be to me? I can't absorb it. Right, since there's extra, is it enough to help a few of my fellow Disciples break through to the Xuan King Realm Ninth Stage together?"

"Cough, cough! That... it's enough, it's enough. Four or five people won't be a problem. Also, call those Old Ancestors of your Xuan Lei Sect over as well; I'll help them break through to the Emperor Realm First Stage!"

Qing Di didn't dare tell him the truth. If he knew that the effect of using emperor spirit qi was even better for him, he would definitely make a huge scene.

"Really? Then I'll go call them over. Wait a moment."

After a while, Jiang Ye went to the several Old Ancestors and called them over.

Inside Ancestor Lei's cultivation palace, Jiang Ye shouted, "Old Ancestor, Senior Brother Lei, hurry and come with me! I have something good for you."

Lei Jun said helplessly, "I'm cultivating! Go find An Dong to play with!"

"Cultivating my foot! If I let you Cultivate for three years, could you break through to the Xuan King Realm Ninth Stage?"

Ancestor Lei sensed something was up and asked, "Little Ye, what's going on?"

"It has to be the Old Ancestor; Senior Brother Lei is such a blockhead! It's like this: when we wiped out the Shen Xuan Alliance, didn't Qing Di capture over a dozen Emperor Realm experts? He's extracted quite a bit of emperor spirit qi now, and he doesn't need it anymore. I'm having him help the Old Ancestors break through to the Emperor Realm First Stage and help several Senior Brothers break through to the Xuan King Realm."

"What did you say? Break through to the Emperor Realm?" Ancestor Lei was stunned, thinking he had misheard.
