Ling Tian is full of confidence

After breaking through to the Great Emperor realm, he would then deal with the Shangqing Immortal Sect.

This was Zhong Qing's original plan.

However, they had just arrived in Second Heaven and hadn't left the Spiritual Land, nor were they familiar with the Shangqing Immortal Sect, so they hadn't had time to depart yet.

He had originally hoped for Deng Zhong to lead the way, but unexpectedly, these two people delivered themselves to his doorstep today.

Zhong Qing decided there was no time like the present and prepared to seize the opportunity to resolve the trouble with the Shangqing Immortal Sect, which had been lingering since the lower realm.

As his voice fell, Zhong Qing had already risen, taking a single step to instantly appear in the sky before Lie Zhaoran and Wei Jianglei, his hands clasped behind his back, and asked indifferently,

"Where is your Shangqing Immortal Sect's headquarters? How many people do you have?"

Lie Zhaoran, Wei Jianglei, and Xu Songnian were all dumbfounded.

They had seen reckless people, but never one so utterly reckless.

Was he planning to directly attack the Shangqing Immortal Sect?

Xu Songnian was merely astonished that Zhong Qing was so audacious.

Lie Zhaoran and Wei Jianglei, however, were different; they still believed Zhong Qing was from the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

What was this? Looking at this stance, was the Yuhua Immortal Sect going to directly engage in all-out war with their Shangqing Immortal Sect?

But why would they ask us where our headquarters is? As Four Great Immortal Sects, how could you not know where our headquarters is?

Although they couldn't quite understand, the two didn't dare to delay and quickly revealed the headquarters' location. Wei Jianglei paused, then added,

"It's just that, Daoist... Sir, even if you go to my Shangqing Immortal Sect's headquarters now, the Sect Master and other elders are not in the sect."

Zhong Qing was startled when he heard this: "Where did they go?"

Lie Zhaoran hesitated for a moment, then said, "The Sect Master ordered us two to retrieve the Heaven and Earth Xuan Jian and capture Xu Songnian. He personally led the other elders to Yuhua Cave Heaven to intercept the Yuhua Immortal Sect's people, to prevent them from sending reinforcements."

Zhong Qing stroked his chin: "So that's how it is. Then let's just go to the Yuhua Immortal Sect."

As his voice fell, he let out a shout.

"Sword Arrives!"

Lie Zhaoran and Wei Jianglei trembled again.

Sword Arrives? Why summon a sword? Could it be that he has extracted the information and now thinks we are no longer useful, intending to kill us with a single sword stroke?

The next moment, a massive shadow enveloped everyone's heads.

It was only when they saw the enormous sword-shaped flying boat that everyone finally understood.

So, this was Zhong Qing's "Sword Arrives."

Wei Jianglei and Lie Zhaoran finally breathed a sigh of relief, but their expressions remained bitter.

After all, their lives were still in his hands.

And then...

They were literally, in the physical sense, tied up in his hands.

Zhong Qing casually pulled out a semi-immortal artifact rope, which was a previous system reward, and tossed it to Lin Feng.

After some thought, Lin Feng handed the rope to Blood Corpse Old Ancestor, telling him to take the two.

Blood Corpse Old Ancestor had just been severely shocked by Lin Feng's combat prowess.

He hadn't expected that this Eldest Senior Brother, whom he had previously looked down upon, believing him to be inferior to even one of his own fingers apart from his identity as the Master's true disciple, would become so terrifying after being empowered by the Master and breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Hearing Lin Feng's voice, he snapped back to reality, shivered, and nodded repeatedly, no longer daring to show any contempt in his eyes, only profound respect.

"Eldest Senior Brother, rest assured, leave it to Old Ancestor!"

With that, he turned around, looked at Lie Zhaoran and Wei Jianglei, and a sinister grin appeared on his old face.

"Hehehe, to fall into Old Ancestor's hands, you two are lucky today."

He had never imagined in his life that he, a mere Fourth-Turn Pseudo-Immortal demonic cultivator, would one day be able to simultaneously control two overlords of the Second Heaven, elders of the Shangqing Immortal Sect.

As a demonic cultivator, he feared neither heaven nor earth, but some things, in the past, he could only dream of.

Now that he had such an opportunity, how could Blood Corpse miss it?

Blood Corpse Old Ancestor quickly and unceremoniously tied the two up, then directly swung a blade at them.

"What are you still dazed for? Today, you are blessed. You get to be beasts of burden for Old Ancestor and Master, hehehe."

Zhong Qing took Lin Feng and Du Hao, who had just been empowered, onto the flying boat and said, "Let's go, to the Yuhua Immortal Sect."

At this moment, Xu Songnian, who had come to his senses, hurriedly called out.

"Senior... Senior, may this junior accompany you?"

Zhong Qing, with his hands behind his back, was about to enter the cabin when he heard this and glanced back at him.

"Oh, I remember now, you're from that Yuhua Immortal Sect, aren't you?"

Xu Songnian's mouth twitched.

So, you almost forgot?

Of course, he didn't dare to say it aloud, only nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, this junior mentioned before that the current Sect Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect is my father."

In fact, by this point, Zhong Qing had more or less understood the whole story after hearing what Lie Zhaoran and Wei Jianglei had said.

He knew that this unfortunate Yuhua Immortal Sect was likely misunderstood by the Shangqing Immortal Sect and took the blame for him.

Otherwise, why would the Shangqing Immortal Sect Master go to the Yuhua Immortal Sect to block their gates when these two old men came to Liuguang Sect to cause trouble?

After figuring it out, Zhong Qing's gaze towards Xu Songnian became somewhat sympathetic.

He nodded: "Since that's the case, you can come along too."

And so, Xu Songnian, still bewildered and unaware of the full story, confusedly boarded the boat with them.

Next, was the scene from just now when Xu Qianfeng contacted Xu Songnian.

Blood Corpse Old Ancestor gleefully treated the two Shangqing Immortal Sect elders as draft animals for pulling the... oh, for pulling the flying boat. He used a Quasi-Immortal Artifact as a whip, furiously lashing them as they rushed towards the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

And Xu Songnian, who witnessed all of this, felt as if he was still dreaming.

He had simply followed his father's orders to visit a Spiritual Land to find the person who had undergone tribulation the day before.

Less than an hour had passed since he entered Liuguang Sect until now.

How had the situation developed into this?

Even he himself couldn't figure it out.

Xu Qianfeng, on the other end of the communication jade slip, naturally understood even less.

He merely felt that his son's voice and aura from the communication jade slip were very stable, not like he was injured, which somewhat relieved him.

He estimated that his son had found a way to escape and was rushing back to the sect, and even if he was truly captured by the Shangqing Immortal Sect, at least he was unharmed.

While vigorously breaking the formation, he said, "Songnian, don't worry. Your father will soon get rid of this scoundrel Ling Tian and come to meet you. Be extremely careful of those two from the Shangqing Immortal Sect; do not fight them head-on!"

Xu Songnian's expression was strange as he glanced at the two 'beasts of burden' pulling the boat.

He felt that he probably didn't need to be careful anymore.

Meanwhile, at the center of the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Void Grand Formation, Ling Tian also wore a cold sneer.

Although his estimate was to delay the Yuhua Immortal Sect's people for at least two hours,

that was for safety's sake. In his opinion, all the elders of the Yuhua Immortal Sect were here, and Xu Songnian had no one to protect him.

With the strength of the two elders, working together, it wouldn't take that much time to capture Xu Songnian and return.

"When you see your son and the Heaven and Earth Xuan Jian brought back by my sect's elders, Xu Qianfeng, can you still keep up the act?"
