24: Inner sect elder Song Qidi

“What? The Yang Family was annihilated?!”

Inside the Immortal Seeking Sect’s Inner Sect, a purple-gold palace pavilion erupted with a furious cry.

Elder Elder Song of the Inner Sect listened to the report from the person below, his rage flaring, and with a “bang,” he shattered a nearby table.

“Who is it? Who on earth annihilated the Yang Family?!”

His face was extremely grim, his eyes practically spitting fire as he furiously questioned his subordinate!

His heart felt as if it was bleeding; the power he had painstakingly cultivated was just annihilated like that?

Below the hall, the subordinate who delivered the message lowered his head, trembling, his voice slightly shaking.

“I… I don’t know who did it.”

“When we arrived… the Yang Family, the entire Yang Family had already been leveled, not a single trace was found!”

Elder Song was exasperated, picking up nearby objects one after another and throwing them at his subordinate!

“Useless!”

“Idiot!”

“You can’t even handle such a small matter, what use are you to me?!”

Elder Song’s gaze was cold like a venomous snake, fixed on his subordinate, a surge of killing intent erupting.

“Elder, spare me, spare me!” The subordinate felt this killing intent, so frightened that his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, he quickly kowtowed and pleaded for mercy, immediately speaking: “I remember, I remember, Elder!”

“It was the City Lord, the City Lord of Wenxian City who did it! He was the one who led people to annihilate the Yang Family that day!”

“The City Lord of Wenxian City?” Elder Song narrowed his eyes, grabbing his subordinate’s neck, laughing in extreme anger: “Hahaha, you can’t even make up a believable story. Does the City Lord of Wenxian City have the guts to oppose me?!”

The City Lord of Wenxian City always knew that the Yang Family had the support of people from the Immortal Seeking Sect behind them, so he absolutely would not dare to act against the Yang Family.

Unless, he wanted to die!

“You dare to lie to me, do you know what the consequences are?! Huh?!” Elder Song squeezed hard, almost crushing his subordinate’s neck!

The subordinate desperately clutched Elder Song’s large hand, trying to break free.

“Cough cough… cough… El… Elder, what I said… is all true… Someone in Wenxian City… saw it!”

His face was flushed, he was on the verge of suffocating, and his voice became intermittent.

“Oh? Is that so?!” Elder Song frowned upon hearing this, this answer was beyond his expectation. Could it be that the City Lord of Wenxian City truly isn’t afraid of death?

“Absol…utely… true!” The subordinate gritted his teeth and answered with difficulty.

“Heh heh, if that’s the case, then you can die in peace!” Elder Song’s eyes turned cold, then he squeezed hard, and with a crack, directly broke his subordinate’s neck, then tossed him aside.

A useless person, keeping him would also be a waste!

Elder Song paced back and forth in the hall, his mind constantly guessing.

The Yang Family was secretly cultivated by him, only so that one day, he could control the entire Wenxian City and achieve his ultimate goal.

If it weren’t for Xue Ning’s sudden emergence that year, seizing the position of City Lord, he would have missed a good opportunity.

Now, the selection day for the City Lord of Wenxian City was approaching, and he had made full preparations.

But precisely at this critical juncture, a problem arose.

Could it be that Xue Ning was eliminating rivals in advance?

But that shouldn’t be the case, he couldn’t be so foolish as to offend the Immortal Seeking Sect.

As for the Yang Family offending someone, he couldn’t believe that.

After all, the timing of this incident was too coincidental!

The fog was thick.

Elder Song took a deep breath; he had a feeling that this time, the opponent might be coming for him!

“It seems the plan needs to be moved up!”

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

“Someone!”

He shouted towards the door.

Soon, a subordinate hurriedly walked in.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, this subordinate did not dare to breathe loudly.

He suppressed his fear and respectfully said: “Elder, what are your orders?!”

“Mm. This person tried to assassinate me, but I detected him, so I killed him!” Elder Song said indifferently: “You clean this up later, and then help me inquire about the Yang Family matter in Wenxian City!”

“Remember, do not make a sound!”

“Yes, I understand!”

After that person left, Elder Song still felt somewhat uneasy.

“No, I must go ask for his opinion!”

…

On the other side.

As the matter of the Yang Family came to an end.

Ye Fojian also embarked on the journey to the Star Plucking Holy Land.

According to the plan Jiang Qingchen gave him, he was to undergo trials while traveling to the Star Plucking Holy Land.

Xue Ning accompanied him, but Jiang Qingchen instructed him not to interfere with Ye Fojian’s matters unless it was a life-or-death crisis.

As for Qu Zhiyin, she immediately returned to the Sect to begin handling the Yang Family’s affairs.

She carried Sect Leader Mu Tiannan’s token and directly entered the Enforcement Hall.

The Law Enforcement team of Wenxian City almost all came from the Enforcement Hall.

The Yang Family incident made her realize that some people must be dealt with.

Let’s start with the Enforcement Hall.

For so many years, since the Enforcement Hall ignored it, then she would manage it.

“Stop, this is the Enforcement Hall, no unauthorized entry!”

Although Qu Zhiyin was usually gentle, it didn’t mean she had no temper. Her eyes turned cold, she cut down the Enforcement Hall’s plaque with a single sword strike, then kicked that Disciple flying, saying domineeringly.

“Tell your Hall Master to get out here and see me!”

…

Wudao Peak.

Elder Song came up worriedly for a while, then left in a hurry.

Watching Elder Song leave, Jiang Qingchen came to the old tree by the cliff.

He comfortably lay on the recliner, leisurely drinking tea and enjoying the scenery.

“Though the horse returns to the fortress, it will not fight with the young rooster in the east of the city.”

“How leisurely, how leisurely!”

“System Maid, open the panel!”

System Maid: [Okay, Host]

[Host: Jiang Qingchen!]

[Aptitude: Saint-Grade]

[Cultivation: Nine levels of Body Refinement (Physical Body Invincible)]

[Talents: Sword Dao Mastery, Musical Instrument Mastery]

[Cultivation Technique: Creation Immortal Art (Beginner), Ancient Breath Concealment Technique (Beginner), Tiantian Bu (Beginner)]

[Talents: Sword Dao Mastery, Musical Instrument Mastery!]

[Weapons Used: Profound Yellow Tower (Auxiliary Cultivation Divine Artifact, a total of 9 levels, allows people to enter Cultivation), Soul-Devouring Bell (Immortal Saint Weapon, Soul-type treasure)!]

[Main Quest: Quest triggered, recruit a Saint-Grade Aptitude Disciple within half a month!]

[Side Quest: Sect Development in progress.]

Looking at the almost unchanged personal information panel, Jiang Qingchen felt a bit helpless.

There was no way around it; as long as he didn’t Breakthrough to the Naling Realm, he couldn’t use Spiritual Qi, and thus couldn’t use those cool Moves.

As for Tiantian Bu, it was indeed exquisite, a simple footwork that didn’t require any Spiritual Qi.

However, the System Quest had changed a bit.

He needed to recruit another Saint-Grade Aptitude Disciple within half a month.

He had a bit of a headache; this time was a bit too short.

But there was no other way; he had to strive for it.

Finally, he glanced at the warehouse, packed with a dense pile of items, including several Saint Weapons.

However, these things were useless to him.

He had to find a way to give the resources to the Sect members to improve their Cultivation, otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to protect these Saint Weapons.

But for now, he could plant the pan tao tree!

Saying that, he got up and went to the back mountain.

With a thought, ten pan tao trees flew out from the System space, whooshing and landing on the open ground.

In a blink of an eye, the pan tao trees seemed to have consciousness, taking root upon landing with a rumbling sound, exuding waves of rich Spiritual Qi.

In just a moment, the entire back mountain was filled with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, attracting countless Spirit Beasts.

The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees also frantically absorbed the Spiritual Qi, becoming full of spirituality!

“As expected of the pan tao tree!”

“In a short while, these fruits should ripen. Then I’ll let the Sect Master and the others improve their Cultivation!”

Jiang Qingchen casually set up a small formation to conceal the commotion here and prevent these Spirit Beasts from stealing the fruits!

After doing all this, Jiang Qingchen thought about it. With Qu Zhiyin handling the Yang Family matter, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

Moreover, it seemed that during this period, the Sect Master and the others had all gone into seclusion for Breakthroughs. There wasn’t much happening these days, so he might as well go to the Star Plucking Holy Land for a visit.

“Little Crane, let’s go, I’ll take you to play!”

As he finished speaking, an immortal crane flew from afar and came before Jiang Qingchen, rubbing its head affectionately against him.

“Little Crane, be good. When the pan tao fruit ripens in a while, I’ll get some for you!”

Upon hearing this, the immortal crane chirped a few times happily, then carried Jiang Qingchen and disappeared into the sky.
