287: What audacity!

Red Pine Sect. West Courtyard.

It was not only Qing Feng Tower whose goods were intercepted on the border battlefield; the Liu Family's goods had been intercepted as well.

"Have you found out who did it?" Liu Xuan asked Su Wan, who was in charge of this matter.

"It seems to be a collaboration between people from the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Beast Taming Sect. I cannot find out exactly who it was; the other party covered their tracks very well."

"So, does that mean the goods belonging to Immortal Master Yue Li were also intercepted?"

"Yes, their losses were even heavier than ours. Dozens of Cultivators died. The people transporting our goods were from the Beast Taming Sect, so only a few of the contact personnel died."

Liu Xuan tapped the armrest of his chair rhythmically with one hand, while his other hand gently stroked the silk-like skin of the Junior Sister in his arms. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Did you send anyone to ask the Beast Taming Sect? How did they respond?"

"We asked. The people under Immortal Master Qin Mo said it had nothing to do with them and told us to find a solution ourselves."

Liu Xuan's hand paused, and he frowned slightly. It seemed that even if Immortal Master Qin Mo was not involved, he was certainly aware of it.

The border battlefield stretched across the entire border of the Peach Blossom Sect. It did not just border the Red Pine Sect, nor was Immortal Master Qin Mo the only Golden Core True Person there; there was more than one city like Feiyu City.

With people from the Beast Taming Sect participating and coordinating with those from the Heavenly Sword Sect, it was far too easy to dispose of the intercepted goods elsewhere.

People from the Beast Taming Sect were constantly arriving at the border battlefield from the Main Mountain. They were powerful enough to suppress the entire Peach Blossom Sect along with countless members of the Yao Race. If they wanted to do something on the side, even the Heavenly Sword Sect could not stop them.

If not for the orders from the higher-ups to suppress them, for these arrogant and fierce soldiers, robbing Human Race cities was far more profitable than risking their lives fighting the Yao Race.

"Don't worry about the goods for now. First, find out exactly who the enemy is!"

Liu Xuan instructed Su Wan to handle the matter securely, then headed to the Artifact Refining Hall to find An Yunxi and gave her a rough summary of the situation.

"What?!"

"Senior Brother Qin is actually this outrageous? I will go find him myself!" An Yunxi's small face was full of anger, and she stood up, ready to walk out.

"Senior Sister, please calm down!" Liu Xuan quickly grabbed her hand. "This matter might not have been done by Immortal Master Qin. It is inappropriate for us to confront him directly."

Although An Yunxi had a high status and position, her cultivation was only at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and she held no real power.

If he really let her go find Qin Mo because of this, she would most likely be swindled.

"Then... what should we do?"

An Yunxi's angry little face turned dejected. Senior Brother Qin and the others only saw her as a child; going there wouldn't solve the problem either.

"Senior Sister, don't panic. Listen to me slowly."

Liu Xuan helped An Yunxi back to her seat and poured her a cup of jade phoenix tree spirit tea.

"Senior Sister, do you remember those Beast Taming Sect Disciples I brought to you a while ago?"

"I remember! What about them?"

"I specifically established a branch under Lingshu Pavilion. I organized all these people in your name, Senior Sister. From now on, they will only take orders from you."

An Yunxi looked at Liu Xuan with a puzzled expression, not knowing what he meant.

Liu Xuan had to continue explaining, "Senior Sister, you don't need to show yourself. You just need to give them a few identity tokens, and you can have them investigate this matter."

"This... will it work?"

"Of course it will!"

"Senior Sister, your status is noble and your position is transcendent. Who in the Beast Taming Sect would dare to deceive you? Even if it is just people you sent, they wouldn't dare!"

Liu Xuan had long since used his connection with An Yunxi to strike up conversations with many Junior Sisters of the Beast Taming Sect and had also recruited some capable people, spending quite a lot in the process.

His goal was to develop the Beast Taming Sect's influence in An Yunxi's name, hedging his bets.

If there were no accidents in the war, and it could not implicate or shake the Azure Profound Sect, the Liu Clan would be trapped in the Red Pine Sect for a long time, making it difficult to continue developing.

However, investing in the Beast Taming Sect was different. If they truly destroyed the Demon Court, the vast Endless Mountain Range would offer massive development opportunities.

An Yunxi had accepted him as a Junior Brother on behalf of her father. Although it was just An Yunxi acting on her own, if the timing was right, it might not be impossible for it to become real.

"Alright!"

An Yunxi took out two identity tokens carrying her aura and handed them to Liu Xuan.

"You take them and try first. If it doesn't work, I will go find Senior Brother Qin and reason with him myself!"

An Yunxi did not think much of Liu Xuan's method. If her personally showing up didn't work, what could a few people holding her token do?

"Thank you, Senior Sister!"

Liu Xuan put away the tokens, soothed An Yunxi, and immediately found the person in charge of the Lingshu Pavilion Beast Taming Sect branch, Hu Caiping.

"This is Senior Sister Yunxi's identity token. Immediately send someone with this token to investigate the interception of goods in Feiyu City. Just say that Senior Sister Yunxi owns a thirty percent share of our Guanghui Tower's business. There is no need to pursue anyone's responsibility; just find out who did it!"

"Understood, Husband~" Hu Caiping took the token, her soft body leaning into Liu Xuan's arms.

Back when she was recruited by Liu Xuan as a manager for Guanghui Tower, she was conquered by Liu Xuan's various offensives within a few days and became one of Liu Xuan's many Concubines.

Only after truly following Liu Xuan did she realize the benefits of being his woman; Hu Caiping was addicted to it and unable to extricate herself.

"Business first!" Liu Xuan helped Hu Caiping stand up from his arms and instructed, "This matter concerns all of our Liu Family's businesses, so you must be careful. If this matter is handled well, I will give you a reward when you return!"

Hu Caiping's beautiful eyes lit up. "You said it, no going back on your word!"

After saying that, she tidied her clothes and immediately went to count the personnel and rushed toward the border battlefield.

Hu Caiping was very confident. Nowadays, the border battlefield was basically filled with people from the Beast Taming Sect Southern Branch. With Senior Sister Yunxi's identity token, few people would dare to touch her.

According to her husband Liu Xuan's instructions, Guanghui Tower was Senior Sister Yunxi's business. Investigating the intercepted goods in this name was reasonable and justified.

...

Yongning. White Crane Lake.

The Beast Taming Sect's army of Cultivators was fighting to the death on the Peach Blossom Sect's border, while Immortal Master Qin Mo was stationed at White Crane Lake in the rear, feeling very leisurely.

On the thunder beast flying ship, in a Cultivation Chamber, Immortal Master Qin Mo was holding a book on Formation analysis, reading it. Beside him, a large bear covered in golden fur was also stretching its neck to look.

"Knock, knock, knock~" A knock came from outside the door. The door opened automatically, and a man wearing the attire of the Beast Taming Sect walked in and bowed respectfully.

"Reporting to the Immortal Master, someone is using Senior Sister Yunxi's token to investigate the interception of goods in Feiyu City. They said that Guanghui Tower is Senior Sister Yunxi's business and demanded that we give an explanation!"

This Disciple was a bit nervous. Originally, the Immortal Master had already given instructions about this matter, but since the other party was holding Senior Sister Yunxi's identity token, he had no choice but to come and ask Immortal Master Qin.

"Such audacity!" Immortal Master Qin Mo put down the book. His tone was not intense, but it scared the Disciple so much that cold sweat instantly poured down.

"Who is the person who came? Besides investigating, what else do they want to do?"

Qin Mo's mind conjured the image of Liu Xuan. This kid actually dared to do things in the name of Junior Sister Yun Xi; it was simply lawless!

What was Junior Sister Yun Xi's status? She was the apple of the eye of the True Monarch Academy Head and Senior Sister Yun Miao. Daring to use her was simply not knowing how to spell the word 'death'!
