Chapter 374: 372. Want to prove yourself, Long Ke
Ji Liangping immediately stopped.
Because a terrifying sentence from the old woman reached his ears, "The Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect killed the Chief of Luo River."
"Really?" He wasn’t feeling pity for Luo River, but rather he had just returned from the Immortal Sect, and nothing seemed to have happened.
The news of Luo River’s death wasn’t something that had just happened a day or two ago.
It must have happened during those few days when he was going around in circles.
"Reportedly, it just happened a few days ago." The old woman’s face revealed a solemn expression, "The Immortal Sect has wiped out Mitian Island and killed the Grand Chief of the Hundred Sects Alliance... this is quite a wolf-like ambition."
"Why say wolf-like ambition?" Ji Liangping immediately looked at the old woman.
The old woman responded, "Director, it’s quite apparent they’re aiming to rule Bright Mirror Lake."
"That’s all on the surface." Ji Liangping turned and walked into the Main Hall. If Wenping had ambition, he would have unified East Lake long ago. But he hadn’t expected that Luo River was dead again, "What’s the Hundred Sects Alliance doing about it?"
The old woman continued, "They sent someone to ask me to mobilize the coalition forces for a punitive expedition... but I didn’t agree. I heard those Three-star Influences didn’t agree either, mostly unwilling to provoke the Immortal Sect."
"Good refusal."
Ji Liangping nodded with a smile.
The Hundred Sects Alliance wants to pull the same stunt again, sending their people to die.
No way.
Besides, Celestial Academy and the Immortal Sect have such good relations, why help the Hundred Sects Alliance?
He didn’t even want to pretend.
Because Celestial Academy is now the largest academy and the strongest influence on Bright Mirror Lake—thanks to the Immortal Sect—there’s no need to cater to the Hundred Sects Alliance; they can be self-sufficient.
"Let them find someone higher up on their own; we’re not getting involved, understand? Tell the core layer of the Sect to be attentive to the Immortal Sect, and treat them courteously... I am a friend of that Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect," Ji Liangping grinned and triumphantly walked into a room.
A few old women abruptly stopped.
They exchanged glances.
A hint of a smile appeared at the corners of their mouths as well.
However, they all also knew that such a situation and their relationship with the Immortal Sect couldn’t be made public.
Then they lowered their heads and walked out of the Main Hall.
...
Upon learning about this news, the people of East Lake would naturally know too.
Because of the messenger falcon, the news from Bright Mirror Lake quickly reached Murong Qing’s ears. Upon hearing this news, the cup in Murong Qing’s hand suddenly fell to the ground, the drink spilled on his shoe without him even noticing.
A nearby maid hurriedly came over to wipe, but was directly dismissed by Murong Qing.
"What to do?"
He wasn’t worried about the Hundred Sects Alliance not seeking revenge; for a Grand Chief’s death, the higher-ups would definitely send people. However, being in East Lake left him awkwardly positioned; he was the strongest influence, Middle Profound Realm.
But now, what does Middle Profound Realm mean to the Immortal Sect?
"Prepare the demon!"
Murong Qing stood up and shouted outside the door, riding the Winged Demon, directly heading to Extreme Realm Mountain.
As he arrived at Extreme Realm Mountain, Han Feiyue came out smiling to greet him.
But upon seeing Murong Qing’s solemn face, his expression also froze.
"Come with me." Han Feiyue hurriedly led Murong Qing to the Main Hall, found a room without people, and sat down.
"What’s wrong?" Murong Qing wasn’t the kind of person to have a stern face like this; in his knowledge, Murong Qing was the type to greet enemies with a smile, let alone a good friendship with himself.
Murong Qing exhaled a turbid breath, stood up, and looked through the window at all the scenery visible from Extreme Realm Mountain.
For some reason, he felt like this might just be the next Mitian Sect.
"The Grand Chief of Divine Profound Middle Realm at Bright Mirror Lake was killed by the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect." Murong Qing slowly turned around, the fear at the corner of his mouth made Han Feiyue tremble, even unable to hold the tea cup in his hand, "You say, what if..."
"I know what you want to say."
Murong Qing and he must be thinking the same.
That is the fear that the Immortal Sect will destroy them like they destroyed Mitian Sect.
That purple light orb, destroying Extreme Realm Mountain, obliterating Huangli City, is as easy as drinking water.
"Then what else to think, ask for peace." Han Feiyue suddenly stood up.
"Ask for peace?"
"You want to wait for the Immortal Sect to come knocking?"
"Your son got killed, my Hundred Sects Alliance’s dignity is lost, if we ask for peace now, where do we put our face..."
"Still worrying about face at this time... my son got killed, that’s it, besides, Mo Yue got killed too, not you." Han Feiyue couldn’t stand Murong Qing’s sudden indecision at this moment.
After speaking, he immediately got up and left the Main Hall.
...
Over the past few days, Long Ke became more and more curious about the Immortal Sect.
What his sister said was completely incorrect.
This Sect is full of strange places everywhere. Especially that Wind Valley, two people enter every hour, one White Crystal each time. Disciple and Elder give Wenping 24 White Crystals a day.
This profit, how is it different from mining?
The strangest thing is a red stone that doesn’t have any Spiritual Qi fluctuations, yet those Elders and Disciples gather four or five White Crystals to receive. They receive it just to use once, which means for one hour.
The collectors are very happy too.
Long Ke completely felt that she had walked through many places in vain before, thinking no matter how strange the regional customs were, they wouldn’t be surprised... but the state of the Immortal Sect still made her feel unprecedented amazement.
Moreover, Wenping didn’t bother much with his little aunt; he let her do whatever she wanted since she wasn’t able to enter the Cultivation Field anyway. These days, Wenping would count the numbers while completing tasks, and also went to Jianmu Forest for cultivation.
Of course, he occasionally went to Medicine Mountain to check on the Spirit Rice.
The Spirit Rice was soon to mature, but with the added Fire Spirit Crystal, the effect was still hard to say.
It was at this time that Murong Qing and Han Feiyue arrived.
A large number of Winged Demons magnificently reached the other side of Yunlan Mountain, the scene looked as if they were about to attack a fortress. This scene was immediately noticed by Long Ke, who had just come out from the dormitory area, and looked ahead at Yunlan Mountain.
It turned out to be people from the Hundred Sects Alliance.
Although just Middle Profound Realm, they brought a lot of people, and the Immortal Sect only had one old woman at the Upper Profound Realm. If it really fought, the Upper Profound Realm might survive this time, but definitely not the next time.
Because the next time, it’s definitely not Middle Profound Realm coming.
This is the usual style of the Hundred Sects Alliance.
Hit the small ones, then come the bigger ones.
"This kid, really knows how to offend people." Long Ke actually showed a gloating expression, and then saw Zhao Yi holding something to find Wenping. This time she didn’t plan to make a move, must wait until the critical moment to intervene.
Making a move early, as it happened last time, she helped kill one Mountain Suppression Realm, and Wenping made no expression at all.
"Buying things, or looking for trouble?" Soon Wenping came, glancing at Long Ke then squinting at the Winged Demon team outside Yunlan Mountain, but couldn’t see the people on the Winged Demons two or three kilometers away.
"Definitely looking for trouble... can’t be here to buy red stones, can they? Boy... Sect Leader, you really have a lot on your mind." Long Ke almost called incorrectly again, changing her wording while giving Wenping a glance.
Then she turned around and was about to leave.
In her heart she muttered: Hopefully it starts fighting quickly, giving her a chance to intervene. Otherwise, this kid doesn’t value me at all.
