I can just kill him too and that'll be it, right?

Of course, Xu Qianfeng and his son could not have imagined that Zhong Qing's True Disciples were not taken in casually.

Even if Xu Songnian had agreed on the spot, he would only have been a Named Disciple.

Of course, for a Disciple with high talent and strong power, even if he was a Named Disciple, his future with Senior Zhong would still be limitless.

In any case, Xu Songnian had already felt this.

If he had followed the original plan, he didn't know how many more years it would take for him to get in touch with the Yuhua Immortal Sect's supreme Legacy, by which time he would at least be a Nine Revolutions Pseudo Immortal. How could that compare to Cultivating a True Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique starting from now?

After thanking his Revered Master again, Xu Qianfeng dismissed the Immortals, and his expression gradually became serious.

In fact, after learning about Xu Songnian's encounter in the Liuguang Sect from his son, Xu Qianfeng had more or less guessed some of the causes and effects.

As two of the Four Great Immortal Sects, although there was competition and friction between them, the Shangqing Immortal Sect would not come looking for trouble for no reason.

Furthermore, his decision to send Xu Songnian to the Spiritual Land to investigate the person who triggered the Lightning Tribulation was a temporary impulse.

How could the Shangqing Immortal Sect just happen to intercept Xu Songnian at the Liuguang Sect, and how could Zhong Qing just happen to be at the Liuguang Sect?

Combining all these factors, he guessed that it was most likely this Immortal Zhong Qing who had truly come into conflict with the Shangqing Immortal Sect.

And their Yuhua Immortal Sect was just coincidentally drawn into it.

But even though he thought of this, Xu Qianfeng had no intention of blaming him, but instead prepared to take responsibility for the matter directly.

The reason was simple: first, whether he dared to blame Zhong Qing was a question.

Secondly, even if this matter was a misunderstanding that coincidentally involved their Yuhua Immortal Sect, in the end, they actually suffered no losses.

After this great battle, not a single person in the Yuhua Immortal Sect died or was injured, while the Shangqing Immortal Sect suffered heavy losses.

The Four Great Immortal Sects all had long Legacies. Although they seemed to mind their own business on the surface and even cooperated, secretly there were countless frictions and struggles. If the Shangqing Immortal Sect was unlucky, the other three would only be happy to see it.

What's more, for the Yuhua Immortal Sect, this was an Opportunity delivered to their doorstep. The chance to build a good relationship with a True Immortal who had descended was rare. Although all Four Great Immortal Sects had True Immortal Legacies, the situation in the Second Heaven was special, and True Immortals rarely appeared there.

A True Immortal who could move freely in the Second Heaven meant being able to control the overall situation of this place.

Moreover, this True Immortal was incredibly generous, offering a Quasi-Immortal Artifact and a True Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique as soon as he made a move. It was simply a tremendous stroke of good fortune.

Under all these circumstances, the minor misunderstanding was no longer important. What was important was how to establish a good relationship with Immortal Zhong now.

Respectfully walking to Zhong Qing's seat, Xu Qianfeng first bowed, then spoke.

"Senior Zhong, are you going to destroy the Shangqing Immortal Sect?"

Zhong Qing nodded: "I do have that thought."

Xu Qianfeng said solemnly: "Please reconsider, Senior."

"Destroying the Shangqing Immortal Sect is not that simple."

"Ling Tian is indeed not difficult to deal with, but the Shangqing Immortal Sect's countless years of Legacy is more than just one Ling Tian."

"As Junior said before, the Cave Heavens where the headquarters of the Four Great Immortal Sects are located are all formed from Immortal Artifacts, and not just ordinary Immortal Artifacts, but Great Rank Immortal Artifacts."

"Great Rank Immortal Artifacts?" Zhong Qing was startled.

He had received a pile of Immortal Artifacts from the System's sign-in, and some of them seemed quite special, but he hadn't looked closely and had just thrown them all together, so he didn't understand the grading of Immortal Artifacts.

"Yes." Xu Qianfeng didn't think much of it and continued: "True Immortal Immortal Artifacts are rare in our Second Heaven, so not many people know about them."

"However, Senior Zhong naturally knows that the most powerful Immortal Artifacts are the Supreme Immortal Artifacts, such as the Fengtian Hall that forms the First Heaven. Such treasures are almost beyond imagination, and are all ancient treasures left from ancient times."

"And second only to Supreme Immortal Artifacts are Great Rank Immortal Artifacts. Although they are not as grand as Supreme Immortal Artifacts, which are equivalent to a Great World, they have already begun to form their own Laws."

"Therefore, the Cave Heaven Small Worlds of the Four Great Immortal Sects are all Cultivation Holy Lands far superior to the outside world, simply because it is easier to comprehend rules and Laws within them."

"These are all blessings left by the True Immortal Ancestors of our Immortal Sects."

Zhong Qing nodded seemingly calmly, not showing at all that he was actually completely ignorant of this.

Xu Qianfeng naturally would not think that a True Immortal would not know these things, so he was actually more so explaining these matters to his son along the way.

"Sect Masters like Ling Tian and Junior will fuse a part of their Divine Soul into it. In this way, they can utilize a portion of the Cave Heaven Immortal Artifact's power."

Xu Qianfeng continued.

"When inside the Cave Heaven, this bonus will reach its maximum, and the negative effects will be minimized."

"It's no exaggeration to say that even a Nine Revolutions Pseudo Immortal like Junior, when inside the Cave Heaven, if he were to fully activate the Immortal Artifact's power regardless of the cost, he could even unleash power comparable to a True Immortal."

"And outsiders will be suppressed within the Cave Heaven. The Grand Elder of the Shangqing Immortal Sect has already demonstrated this before. If it were in the Shangqing Cave Heaven, personally activated by Ling Tian, the difference would only be greater."

"Therefore, even if Senior is a True Immortal with boundless Divine Abilities, it would be by no means easy to destroy the Shangqing Immortal Sect within the Shangqing Cave Heaven."

"Moreover, destroying one of the Four Great Immortal Sects involves no small matter."

At this point, Xu Qianfeng looked cautiously at Zhong Qing.

"Senior also appears to be of our Human Race. Since you are a True Immortal of our Human Race, you must have come from that place, right? If so, you should also know that all Four Great Immortal Sects have True Immortal Ancestors in the Upper Realm. Although they rarely intervene in matters of the Second Heaven, if Senior destroys the Shangqing Immortal Sect, their Old Ancestor might not stand idly by."

"So, please reconsider this matter!"

"That place?" Zhong Qing was first startled, not understanding Xu Qianfeng's words.

However, he understood the latter sentence.

"You mean, if I go and destroy the Shangqing Immortal Sect, their True Immortal Ancestor in the Upper Realm might make a move, right?"

Xu Qianfeng nodded: "That's exactly right."

Zhong Qing stroked his chin and said to Lin Feng on the side: "So you see, this is why your Revered Master hates this kind of thing. You hit the young, and the old come out, endlessly."

Lin Feng's mouth twitched, thinking, 'Revered Master, you probably don't have the right to say that, do you?'

But then, Zhong Qing looked at Xu Qianfeng: "Does that True Immortal Ancestor of the Shangqing Immortal Sect, or whatever, have any older Old Ancestors or Grand Old Ancestors?"

Xu Qianfeng's mouth twitched at the words, and he shook his head: "I haven't heard of that. The True Immortal Ancestors of our Immortal Sects are all figures from countless years ago. Existence older than them probably dates back to before the formation of this Central Continent. Figures from that period have long since vanished."

"That's good." Zhong Qing nodded: "So, you're saying that if I destroy the Shangqing Immortal Sect, and then when their True Immortal Ancestor comes, I kill him too, then this matter will be completely over, right?"
