Taiqing Xuan, the Grand Palace Master, has a plump figure. She appears to be in her thirties, exuding an air of dignity and elegance. She sits on the Palace Master’s throne.
Inside the main hall.
The First Palace Master Taiqing Fu, the Second Palace Master Song Shaoyuan, the Third Palace Master Xian Jing’er, the Fourth Palace Master Xin Baihen, and the Fifth Palace Master Jiang Taiyuan are all standing below in the main hall.
By Taiqing Xuan’s side is Taiqing Yao, the Saintess of Taiqing Palace.
At this moment, Taiqing Xuan rubs the center of her brows and says indifferently, “These are generally all the matters. Everyone, go and handle them as required!”
“Remember one thing. At this stage, there should be no conflict with the people from Spirit Sword Mountain. Also, if there is a request for help from the Li Clan, turn them away without exception!”
“Go now!”
Taiqing Xuan waves her hand, and the five Palace Masters leave one by one.
Seeing that her master is so troubled, Taiqing Yao steps forward and gently massages Taiqing Xuan’s temples.
“Master…”
Taiqing Yao says worriedly, “Ye Wushuang single-handedly annihilated the Sacred Pill Sect and the Heaven’s Secret Mansion. If we just sit back and wait like this, what should we do if Spirit Sword Mountain turns around and targets us?”
“What’s your opinion then?” Taiqing Xuan smiles as she looks at her beloved disciple.
“I… I don’t know either…”
Taiqing Yao looks rather helpless.
Go to war with Spirit Sword Mountain?
Don’t even dream about it.
As long as Spirit Sword Mountain dispatches Ye Wushuang, they can wipe out all of them.
A truly top-notch powerful figure can completely turn the tide of any battle.
For example, in the wars between common countries, no matter how powerful a commander is, he is still just an ordinary person and cannot single-handedly resist thousands or tens of thousands.
However, martial cultivators, those at a higher level of existence, can indeed completely crush those at a lower level.
It’s like no matter how many ants there are, they will be trampled to death when facing an elephant.
Just one Ye Wushuang is enough to shock and kill all of them.
Then Taiqing Xuan lets out a sigh of relief and says with a smile, “So… if Spirit Sword Mountain really intends to deal with our Taiqing Palace and aims to unify the land of Qingzhou, we simply won’t be able to stop them.”
“If Spirit Sword Mountain has no intention of unifying the land of Qingzhou, our Taiqing Palace will still be the Taiqing Palace. As long as we don’t have any conflict with them…”
“Over the years, Spirit Sword Mountain has been developing in a low-key manner in the land of Qingzhou. It hasn’t expanded or annexed others. This time, the Heaven’s Secret Mansion, the Sacred Pill Sect, and the Li Clan launched an attack together. Naturally, Spirit Sword Mountain, the lion that has hidden its sharp claws, has revealed some of its sharpness…”
Upon hearing these words, Taiqing Yao can’t help but say, “Master, do you mean that the foundation shown by Spirit Sword Mountain now is not complete?”
“Definitely… not.”
Taiqing Xuan stands up, looks outside the hall, and says slowly, “I always feel that a greater tempest seems to be gathering!”
A greater storm!
Taiqing Yao is momentarily lost in thought.
What could it be?
Just then.
Outside the main hall, a figure rushes in hastily.
“Taiqing Fu, what’s the matter? Why are you in such a hurry…”
Taiqing Fu, the First Palace Master of Taiqing Palace, is also Taiqing Xuan’s elder brother, a powerful figure at the ninth level of the Return to Origin Realm.
Taiqing Fu arches his hands and then says, “I’ve just received the news that Spirit Sword Mountain… has launched a final attack on the Li Clan!”
Upon hearing this, Taiqing Xuan is slightly stunned, and then can’t help but smile bitterly, “Spirit Sword Mountain… we really misjudged them before.”
…
On the land of Qingzhou.
In the southwestern region.
This entire land is under the control of the Li Clan.
The Li Clan is located within a mountain range here.
At the entrance and exit of the mountain range is Dali City. In this area, Dali City is the largest city, with a permanent population of several million. Counting the people who come and go every day, there are tens of millions.
Dali City is extremely prosperous. Going deeper from Dali City is Dali Mountain.
Dali Mountain was originally a desolate and uninhabited continuous mountain range. After the Li Clan rose to power here, they gradually established their base camp within Dali Mountain step by step.
Looking from the sky, one can see that among the peaks of Dali Mountain, many palaces, pavilions, and other buildings are integrated with the mountain range.
There are houses within the mountains.
And the mountains are part of the palaces.
From a distance, between the towering mountains, there are many great halls and palaces, as if mountains are growing among the clusters of palaces.
This scene is truly unique.
At this moment.
Inside the base camp of the Li Clan.
Within a palace.
Li Xiuxian, the Clan Leader of the Li Clan, looks rather gloomy.
Li Xiuren, Li Hong, Li Rong, and other core figures of the Li Clan are all here.
In addition.
There are also Shang Minghong, the Grand Mansion Master of the Heaven’s Secret Mansion, Tan Qingyi, the Third Mansion Master, and Yin Qiushui, the Fourth Mansion Master.
And Sheng Mingshan, the Grand Elder of the Sacred Pill Sect, Gong Yeming, the Second Elder, Jin Han, the Third Elder, and She Xifeng, the Fourth Elder.
Life is truly wonderful.
One never knows when surprises or scares will happen.
This is especially true for Shang Minghong, Sheng Mingshan, and the others.
As core figures of the Heaven’s Secret Mansion and the Sacred Pill Sect, they were originally participating in the battle at the front line and confronting the martial cultivators from Spirit Sword Mountain.
But before the front line collapsed, their own strongholds were gone!
When they learned that the Heaven’s Secret Mansion and the Sacred Pill Sect had been burned to the ground, and that Tian Wuzhan, the Grand Mansion Master, and Sheng Tianzhe, the Sect Master, had died, Shang Minghong and Sheng Mingshan thought… Is this a lie? Is this just to disrupt their morale?
But in the end.
When they knew it was true, the two of them were completely stunned!
This feeling is no different from that of a farmer who has worked hard to go to the city to work, only to find that his wife in the mountain village has been seduced away!
It’s even worse than that feeling!
With their strongholds gone, Shang Minghong, Sheng Mingshan, and the others quickly organized their troops and came to the Li Clan.
But now…
Li Xiuxian, the Clan Leader of the Li Clan, is also very annoyed.
Why did the Li Clan participate in the war?
It was because of the covert support from Sir Zhou Shao of the Spirit Sword Pavilion.
But now, Zhou Shao has been captured, and his life and death are unknown.
The Li Clan has lost its backer!
Spirit Sword Mountain could attack at any moment!
What on earth should they do?
At this moment, Sheng Mingshan, the Grand Elder of the Sacred Pill Sect, steps forward and says, “Clan Leader Li, our top priority now is to seek help from the person behind that big shot.”
“Yes, yes…”
Shang Minghong and the others all nod one after another.
Li Xiuxian looks at them and can’t help but say, “That Mr. Zhou, whose real name is Zhou Shao, is a Sword Guardian from the Spirit Sword Pavilion in the Central Land, a truly peak figure at the state of Self-negation!”
After these words, the whole hall falls silent.
The state of Self-negation…
