Errands

Over in Glow Valley, Su Qianxi's face was filled with a triumphant expression.

It was as if she could already see the Beast Clan Secret Realm falling into her hands.

Especially now, only the three Sects in the Shuo North Eastern Region knew that the Beast Clan Secret Realm would produce a Secret Treasure ten days later.

Sect Master Jiang's Divine General Sect, naturally, goes without saying.

Although Chen Xianshan was a difficult person to deal with, and Xianshan Sect was not to be underestimated, Chen Xianshan would never have imagined that she could enter the Secret Realm one day in advance.

This way, there should be no problems with the Legacy of the Beast Clan Secret Realm this time!

As for the forces in the Chaotic Land who also knew about the Beast Clan Secret Realm, she simply ignored them.

Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Su Qianxi's face.

She raised her hand, and a beautiful female Cultivator walked up from behind her.

"Go inform Sect Master Jiang. In ten days, we'll meet outside the Beast Clan Secret Realm. Everything will proceed according to plan!"

"Yes!"

...

Over the next few days, countless personnel movements, both overt and covert, were happening in the Shuo North Eastern Region.

Everything was being prepared for the unsealing of the Beast Clan Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, within the Phoenix Feather Sect, a leisurely attitude still prevailed.

On Liaoqiao Peak, Zhong Qing sat in the long corridor, his expression calm, a slight smile on his lips.

He was flipping through the "Nun's Wedding Talk," which he had already read twice.

As he was reading, two figures walked over.

It was Fang Buqiu and Shen Jinkuo.

After this period of Cultivation, both of them had gained a lot, and as long as they digested their gains, they would quickly transform into substantial increases in strength.

Shen Jinkuo, who was already in the Venerable Realm, would provide immense feedback to Zhong Qing if he could Breakthrough even one stage.

Even if his own Realm would be slightly more solid than others.

Fang Buqiu was also on the verge of a Breakthrough.

It might not be long before he could Breakthrough from his current Returning to One Realm Ninth Heavens to the next Realm.

So, once he Breakthrough, the feedback to Zhong Qing would also be immense.

Although the strength of Returning to One Realm Ninth Heavens was considerably less than Shen Jinkuo's Venerable Fifth Realm.

However, Fang Buqiu was a Sword Cultivator.

In terms of pure destructive power, the might of his Returning to One Realm Ninth Heavens Sword Cultivator could even harm some Cultivators who had just entered the Venerable Realm.

Currently, these two were undoubtedly the highest combat power in the Phoenix Feather Sect, representing a generational gap.

As for the other two million-plus Disciples, as countless Advanced Cultivation Techniques were brought out by Zhong Qing, they also gained a lot, but there haven't been many Breakthroughs recently, even slightly fewer than before.

Therefore, they haven't returned any Cultivation to Zhong Qing.

After all, no matter how powerful a Cultivation Technique is, there's a process of Cultivation; it's impossible to Breakthrough immediately after reading it.

But it is foreseeable that, as this group of Disciples fully digests their gains, they will experience a wave of Breakthroughs like bamboo shoots after a spring rain in the future.

At that time, Zhong Qing estimated he would also usher in a big harvest.

Therefore, every Disciple was incredibly precious in Zhong Qing's eyes, and watching them grow brought him immense satisfaction.

So, seeing the arrival of these two precious Disciples, Zhong Qing's face was wreathed in smiles.

"Good Disciples, is there something you need to see Master about today?"

Of course, as Zhong Qing spoke, he had quietly closed the picture book in his hand.

The two standing before their Master looked at each other.

"Master, you're going to the Beast Clan Secret Realm in a few days, right?"

"We both want to go with you."

Shen Jinkuo nodded slightly, speaking sincerely and respectfully.

Zhong Qing raised an eyebrow, looked at Shen Jinkuo, and then at Fang Buqiu standing beside him.

Fang Buqiu met Zhong Qing's gaze and quickly added, "Yes, Master, we want to go with you."

"This is the Sect's first contact with the outside world, after all. We hope to be of some help by accompanying you!"

"Ideally, we could bring all our Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers as well!"

Zhong Qing stood up, looking at his two good Disciples before him.

His gaze was fixed, and Shen Jinkuo and Fang Buqiu's eyes involuntarily lowered.

Zhong Qing chuckled.

"Seventeenth Disciple, get over here!"

Zhong Qing yelled towards outside the mountain, and in less than three seconds,

Feng Buqun's smiling face poked in from outside.

"Hehe, Master."

Feng Buqun rubbed his hands, a wide smile on his face, and stood behind his two Junior Brothers, Fang Buqiu and Shen Jinkuo.

"Oh, what a coincidence, my two Junior Brothers are here too."

Zhong Qing chuckled, his eyes fixed on Feng Buqun.

As he stared, the smile on Feng Buqun's face disappeared.

It was replaced by profuse sweating, and both Fang Buqiu and Shen Jinkuo lowered their heads.

After a long while of Zhong Qing's silence, Shen Jinkuo finally cleared his throat.

"Master, Seventeenth Shixiong asked us to persuade you."

Fang Buqiu also nodded quickly.

"Seventeenth Shixiong said that this trip will surely involve a lot of trouble and many trivial matters. If there aren't enough people, who will run errands for Master? You can't do everything yourself."

"He said it would be best if all of us Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers could go with you."

As the two confessed, Feng Buqun's legs trembled.

Weren't they good Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers? How could they betray him so quickly?

Zhong Qing looked at Feng Buqun, smiling as he stared at his Seventeenth Disciple.

Feng Buqun gave an awkward smile, his already hunched back now bowed even deeper.

"Master! I know you're incredibly powerful, but when you're out and about, you need people to run errands, handle things, gather information, right? You can't do everything yourself!"

"For convenience, it's better to let all the Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers go with you!"

Feng Buqun's tone was sincere, and his somewhat blurry eyes now appeared extremely spirited.

Zhong Qing was amused. He waved his hand, and Fang Buqiu and Shen Jinkuo retreated from the great hall as if granted a great pardon.

Only Seventeenth Shixiong Feng Buqun remained.

In the empty great hall, Feng Buqun looked at his Master, feeling his hairs stand on end.

"Running errands, huh? Easy to say. You'll come with me then."

Hearing this, Feng Buqun quickly nodded, "That's natural, Master. With all the Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers accompanying you, I will naturally follow by your side!"

Zhong Qing reached out and wiggled his finger.

"No, you're coming with me alone."

"Huh?"

"Master, just me? Are the other Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers not going? Are Junior Brothers Fang Buqiu and Shen Jinkuo not going either?"

At this questioning, Zhong Qing raised his hand and tapped Feng Buqun's head with his finger.

Bang!

A large bump immediately formed on Feng Buqun's head!

"Ow! Master! Wasn't I doing this for your own good!"

"With more of us, you won't have to bother making a move, right?"

"Furthermore, if we bring all two million-plus Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, after we finish the matter of the Beast Clan Secret Realm, couldn't we also take the opportunity to subdue other forces..."

Zhong Qing chuckled, thinking that at this point, his good Disciple had finally revealed his true intentions.

Did running errands really require two million people?

Wasn't he just trying to use this operation to push the Phoenix Feather Sect out of the Chaotic Land?

He had heard this scheme several days ago!

"When the Phoenix Feather Sect expands outward, I, your Master, have my own arrangements."

"If you, old man, dare to act on your own initiative again, instigating your Junior Brothers to come before me and say nonsense,"

"I'll remove you from the seventeenth spot. From now on, you'll be ranked according to how many registered Disciples I have."

Feng Buqun was on the verge of tears. The Phoenix Feather Sect was so powerful now.

Not breaking out of the Chaotic Land, wasn't that a waste?

The Phoenix Feather Sect had been deeply rooted in this Chaotic Land for countless years.

Yet, it had never managed to leave the Chaotic Land.

Passed down through generations, and now that a good opportunity finally arrived in his hands,

How could he not be anxious!

The more Feng Buqun thought about it, the more wronged he felt, and at his Advanced age, tears were almost flowing.

Seeing his old Disciple's distressed look, Zhong Qing sighed.

"Alright, alright, what's the rush?"

"I will arrange for the Phoenix Feather Sect to leave the Chaotic Land."

"Since the Phoenix Feather Sect acknowledges me as its Master, I naturally won't let the Sect remain only here."

"In the future, you will have many, many more Junior Brothers."

"Just wait."
