“Alright, let’s see whose sword is sharper.”
...
On the various peaks of the Beast Taming Sect, sword shadows intertwined, and battles were constant.
Qin Yue had just returned from Heaven Sword Peak with some cultivation resources. Feeling the surging sword energy around her, she secretly rejoiced that Chang'an was not involved in this dispute.
The Seven Lineage Assembly gathered fifty Peak Lords.
After seven days and nights of continuous discussion, led by Xuan Wudi, a descendant of the Zhijian Peak martyrs, and with the assistance of Yuan Feng True Lord, the Chief of Ziyan Peak, and Wei Yun Zhenjun, the Chief of Dragon Yang Peak, they jointly confronted the arrogant behavior of the Law Enforcement Hall of Han Ming Peak.
The facts they presented were a mix of truth and falsehood, but they all struck at Han Ming Peak's weak points.
They argued that Han Ming Peak was no longer suitable to manage the Law Enforcement Hall and proposed replacing its administrators.
This proposal was rejected by Sect Leader Mu Zhengting, and the debate continued. Ultimately, the power of Zisu True Person from Zhijian Peak suppressed the dissenting voices, and it was decided to form the Bixi Squad to honor the martyrs.
Only then did Xuan Wudi cease his efforts.
As they could find no more reasons, Yuan Feng True Lord and Wei Yun Zhenjun also had to temporarily halt their actions.
But this did not mean the matter was over.
In recent years, the Law Enforcement Hall's actions had indeed been excessive, and the death of Zhang Guohua further touched everyone's nerves.
With public support, the newly formed Bixi Squad began large-scale operations targeting the Law Enforcement Hall.
They seized upon various issues of the Law Enforcement Hall to retaliate.
The Disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall had always been arrogant; how could they endure such humiliation?
Especially those exceptionally talented Disciples, cold and aloof, directly drew their swords and counterattacked.
Many Han Ming Peak Disciples not belonging to the Law Enforcement Hall were also causing trouble. The Bixi Squad had the right to discipline members of the Law Enforcement Hall but no right to interfere with these non-Law Enforcement Hall members.
Only the Law Enforcement Hall and the Elders of the various sects could restrain them.
However, if we were to invite the Elders to resolve this, then we would have admitted defeat, and from now on, we would never be able to hold our heads high among the fifty peaks of the Beast Taming Sect.
With lingering resentment, their swords moved even faster.
Qin Yue knew without counting that internal conflicts within the Beast Taming Sect were becoming increasingly frequent.
But she was powerless to do anything about it. Flying on her sword to Qing Feng's house, she happened to see a green light descend and laughed, “Little Yi, you're later than me today. The recruitment of external Disciples for Dan Refining Peak must have taken a lot of your effort.”
“That's not it. A member of the Bixi Squad was poisoned by Chilling Frost Powder. Although there's no danger to his life, he'll have to lie in bed for several months to recover,” Yan Yi said, shaking her head.
“Chilling Frost Powder? Isn't that a unique poison of Han Ming Peak? Used on the Bixi Squad, are they trying to frame them?” Qin Yue asked in confusion.
There were many conflicts between the ordinary Disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall and the Bixi Squad, and occasional small actions were normal, but if someone were truly clever, they wouldn't use such a highly identifiable poison, would they?
“Perhaps they deliberately went against the usual approach,” Yan Yi guessed.
“This will increase the demand for alchemists. Will the number of external alchemist slots increase?” Qin Yue asked.
“No, on the contrary, recruitment has stopped,” Yan Yi shook her head again.
“Stopped recruitment? Isn't this exactly when people are needed?” Qin Yue's face was full of bewilderment.
At this moment, Han Su Fairy arrived on her sword and explained:
“Because Elder Yaoxuan, who is in charge of this new Disciple recruitment, is himself a descendant of the martyrs, and both his parents perished in the demonic calamity, he is most agitated about this matter. A Nascent Soul Realm Elder directly ran to my father demanding an explanation, even braver than those sword cultivators.”
“Senior Sister went to Chang'an for stories again?” Qin Yue asked.
“Of course, it's the only way for me to escape my troubles. I just hope you don't find me bothersome,” Han Su Fairy said with a wry smile.
Although she was a Disciple of Heaven Sword Peak, due to her special status, she had been mediating the relationship between the Law Enforcement Disciples of the Han Ming Lineage and the Bixi Squad these days, but the effect was not ideal.
“We are naturally welcome when Han Su Senior Sister comes, and we can even get free Expediting . However, Chang'an's alchemist work, which he prepared for so long, has suddenly stopped. I don't know what to do now,” Qin Yue looked at Yan Yi worriedly, “Is there really no one else?”
“Others feel that these trivial matters are not worth interrupting their alchemy, so they are all procrastinating,” Yan Yi explained.
Qin Yue smiled wryly, thinking of Qing Feng's efforts. She wondered how he would react upon hearing this news and couldn't help but speed up her flight.
Upon arriving at Qing Feng's residence, she saw him peacefully asleep on the bluestone platform. Qin Yue couldn't help but smile, realizing her worries might have been unnecessary.
With Qing Feng's personality, even if the sky fell, he could use it as a blanket; no situation would affect his sleep.
Feeling someone approach, Qing Feng slightly opened his eyes, rolled over, and handed two newly written books to the three of them: “New books, just take a look, don't disturb my sleep.” After saying that, he continued to fall back asleep.
Han Su Fairy and the other two were accustomed to this. They opened Qing Feng's book, and the first page read: “Why can there only be love between men and women, and not righteousness?”
The scene Qin Yue and the other two saw was identical.
Their horizons suddenly broadened!
They eagerly flipped through the books and soon finished reading them.
All three felt a hint of loss, then returned to the beginning of the book to savor it again and discuss it once more.
Finally, Han Su Fairy pulled the author Qing Feng and said, “Can't you really write more? Only updating a little in these seven days is too little. Only by reading your books can I temporarily forget my troubles.”
“No, I need to rest. And this is only a temporary relief; it doesn't fundamentally solve the problem. You should consider going into seclusion. Some things you can't handle,” Qing Feng added, considering this Senior Sister's help with the belief in Immortal Maiden He.
“The situation is complicated, and Master and Father are not convenient to step forward. If I don't participate, who else can?” Han Su Fairy sighed, then suddenly turned to Qing Feng, “Martial Brother Xu, you are well-versed in history and skilled at analyzing ancient and modern times. Do you have any good ideas for the current situation?”
“Yes,” Qing Feng replied.
“You really do,” Han Su Fairy was surprised. She had only mentioned it casually, not expecting Qing Feng to actually have an idea.
“Hmm. Capture the Chief of Dragon Yang Peak and teach him a lesson, or use an even harsher method, and the problem will be solved,” Qing Feng suggested.
“What kind of terrible idea is this?” Han Su Fairy's expression turned from joy to worry.
“A brilliant plan. There are only two ways to solve a difficult problem: either solve the problem itself, or make the person who raised the problem disappear. Since the problem cannot be directly solved now, we can only deal with the person who raised it,” Qing Feng explained.
“Then wouldn't you also have to deal with the Chief of your Purple Rock Peak?” Han Su Fairy said indignantly, then left.
“Han Su Senior Sister has indeed been constantly troubled lately. If we don't count your suggestion, how long do you think it will take for things to return to normal?” Qin Yue asked.
“I don't know, I'm just a lazy person who loves to sleep, how would I know so much? If things go smoothly, perhaps the system will be unified and the situation will improve within three to five years. But the actual situation probably won't be that simple; it might take twenty or thirty years,” Qing Feng replied.
“I hope everything goes smoothly, otherwise, we'll meet on the battlefield in a few years, and no one will protect you,” Qin Yue said.
