Keep pretending!

At the same time, countless miles away, at the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

Within the headquarters’ mountain gate, the Yuhua Cave Heaven.

Ling Tian of the Shangqing Immortal Sect, accompanied by five Elders, arrived at the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

As one of the Four Great Immortal Sects, the arrival of the Shangqing Immortal Sect’s Sect Master was a major event for the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

Moreover, the other party arrived suddenly without prior notice.

Sect Master Xu Qianfeng hastily gathered the high-ranking members of his sect, tidied his attire, and went to the entrance of the Cave Heaven to greet him.

“Sect Master Ling, your esteemed presence brings great honor to our humble abode.”

Upon seeing Ling Tian and his group, Xu Qianfeng stepped forward and bowed, “Brother Ling, it’s been nearly ten thousand years since we last met. Your demeanor is even more impressive than before. Why do you have time to visit my Yuhua Immortal Sect today? And why didn’t you notify us in advance?”

His attitude was polite, but Ling Tian’s expression was not so good.

His gaze swept over the people of the Yuhua Immortal Sect before him.

He saw that Sect Master Xu Qianfeng and all the surrounding Elders were present.

Only the Young Sect Master, Xu Songnian, was nowhere to be seen.

Ling Tian sneered inwardly.

The news he had just received was indeed true.

Xu Qianfeng had sent his son, Xu Songnian, to the Liuguang Sect.

At first, he was somewhat disbelieving, but now he couldn't help but believe it.

It was also because of this that Ling Tian was particularly enraged.

This move by the Yuhua Immortal Sect was certainly not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a long-planned scheme.

Most likely, they had been plotting it since two hundred thousand years ago.

That Zhong Qing must be the pawn that Xu Qianfeng and others had secretly placed in the Lower Realm!

Thinking that his dignified Shangqing Immortal Sect had been schemed against in such a manner, and two hundred thousand years of Luck had fallen into the hands of others in the blink of an eye.

Even with Ling Tian’s excellent self-control, he could no longer suppress his anger at this moment.

His face showed no pleasant expression.

Ling Tian revealed a cold sneer and said, “Sect Master Xu, you jest. If I had notified you in advance, wouldn’t the news have leaked out?”

“News?” Xu Qianfeng was taken aback, “What news?”

His face was full of confusion, which in Ling Tian’s eyes, only made him sneer inwardly.

Keep pretending, you’re quite good at it.

He spoke with a hint of sarcasm, “Speaking of which, why haven’t I seen your esteemed son?”

Xu Qianfeng was even more bewildered.

What kind of logic is it for a dignified Sect Master of the Shangqing Immortal Sect to visit and immediately ask about my son after only a few words?

What, are you very familiar with my son?

However, he naturally couldn’t think that far. Although puzzled, he still replied.

“Something has happened in the territory recently, so I sent my humble son to handle it. Therefore, he is not in the Sect. Why does Brother Ling suddenly ask about this?”

Ling Tian sneered, “Is that so? I think, Sect Master Xu, you are waiting for your esteemed son to bring back something, aren’t you?”

Xu Qianfeng was completely lost.

You suddenly visit out of nowhere, and I don’t understand a single word of your vague statements?

Ling Tian’s smile was exceptionally cold, “It’s just a pity, I’m afraid you won’t be able to wait for it.”

Although he completely couldn’t understand what Ling Tian was talking about.

But Xu Qianfeng, as the Sect Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, still had a temper.

Today, Ling Tian suddenly arrived, bringing five Elders with him. This posture, and the words spoken, clearly indicated that he meant no good.

So, he came to demand an explanation?

With a shift in thought, Xu Qianfeng felt a bit displeased.

As fellow Four Great Immortal Sects, why would he personally come to demand an explanation for such a big matter?

However, he was still a Sect Master, so he had to maintain his dignity.

He let out a light snort and said, “Sect Master Ling, you can speak directly, no need for circumlocution.”

“You suddenly arrived and mentioned my humble son. Could it be that my humble son, while out, offended your Shangqing Immortal Sect in some way?”

“If that is the case, this Sect Master can certainly call him back to apologize to your esteemed Sect, and if there are any misunderstandings, they can also be resolved together.”

As his words fell, he instructed an Elder beside him.

“Fifth Elder, please make a trip and bring Songnian back.”

That Elder nodded, “Yes, Sect Master.”

The Spiritual Land Xu Songnian went to was not far from the Yuhua Immortal Sect. With an Elder-level cultivation, a round trip would not take even an hour.

Just as he was about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared before him.

It was none other than the Six Elder of the Shangqing Immortal Sect, who had come with Ling Tian. He blocked his path, looking at him coldly.

Seeing this, Xu Qianfeng’s expression also darkened.

“Sect Master Ling, what is the meaning of this?”

Ling Tian thought, how could I let you send someone to support your son? But he said with a light chuckle.

“No need. I presume your esteemed son will return very soon, and he will bring the thing Sect Master Xu desires. However, it will likely not be in the way you expect.”

“Before that, it is best for all of you not to leave casually.”

At this point, if Xu Qianfeng still couldn’t sense the problem, he wouldn’t be fit to be the Sect Master.

The other party was not just here to demand an explanation.

This was clearly a visit to cause trouble.

They even intended to blockade the entrance?

Then, thinking of Ling Tian’s words that Xu Songnian would return very soon, Xu Qianfeng’s expression immediately changed.

Could it be that something happened to Xu Songnian while he was out?

As the thought arose.

He sensed something, lowered his head, and saw a jade pendant hanging at his waist, glowing and vibrating slightly.

This jade pendant had a communication function and came in a pair.

The other piece was on his only son, Xu Songnian.

Although it was just a communication jade pendant, it was a Magic Treasure of the Half-Immortal level, and no Formation or Restriction could block its message transmission.

It was precisely because of this that Xu Qianfeng, who cared deeply for his beloved son, always carried it at his waist.

“Did something really happen to Songnian?”

Xu Qianfeng trembled, then his eyes flashed with anger as he looked at Ling Tian before him.

Because he knew that he was busy with Sect affairs, Xu Songnian would not use this jade pendant to contact him unless it was an urgent situation.

Ling Tian, however, seemed unsurprised, and instead chuckled, “Could it be your esteemed son sending a message? Sect Master Xu, why don’t you take a look?”

Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Xu Qianfeng activated the jade pendant with a Divine Thought, and Xu Songnian’s urgent voice entered his mind.

“Father, this is bad! I encountered people from the Shangqing Immortal Sect. They are inexplicably saying that my Yuhua Immortal Sect plotted to seize their Shangqing Immortal Sect’s Luck Heaven and Earth Xuan Jian, and they want to capture me to threaten the Sect—”

Mid-sentence, a loud bang came from the other side, and the connection of the jade pendant was cut off.

And Xu Qianfeng’s face was now ashen.

Having cultivated to his level, it was rare to have offspring.

Xu Songnian was his only son, and his talent was exceptionally high, long having been nurtured as the next Sect Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

The Shangqing Immortal Sect dared to lay hands on him?

He looked at Ling Tian, his eyes burning with rage.

“Good, Ling Tian, I wondered why you suddenly came to visit.”

“So you intend to make trouble for my Yuhua Immortal Sect?”

“I know your Shangqing Immortal Sect has wanted to lord over the other three Sects for a long time, but I never imagined you would resort to such despicable acts!”

“If you don’t give an explanation today, you won’t leave my Yuhua Immortal Sect!”

At the same time, countless miles away, within the Liuguang Sect.

Xu Songnian was also filled with anger and shouted, “Do you think my Yuhua Immortal Sect is made of mud? Today, I shall let you know our methods!”
