Chapter 314: Chapter 261: Void Stone 3
“Before I went to explore the Solitary Soul Ridge Cave, for safety’s sake, after Mei sister agreed to go with me, I also sought out Mrs. Guo from the Guo family.”
After Yan Jinye finished speaking, Zhou Shengqing asked a few more questions, all of which Yan answered one by one.
“What is the background of the Guo family?”
Hearing the ancestor’s question, Meng Hong on the side immediately answered.
“They are one of the immortal-cultivating families of Jian Country. They have two Foundation Establishment cultivators and are considered one of the top forces outside our sect.”
“Would wiping out their clan have any impact?”
Upon hearing this sentence, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. The customs of Tianhe Realm were quite ruthless.
“Well, I’m afraid that won’t work. There is another Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Guo family called Guo Boyear.”
“Who is Guo Boyear?”
Zhou Shengqing looked puzzled. He did not have this name in his memory.
“He is a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Five Elements Sect. Even though it has been a long time since he returned to the Guo family, he still has to consider the influence of that side.”
Upon hearing the Five Elements Sect, Zhou Shengqing’s expression seemed to understand.
It’s not that he was scared, but if he had to fight with the Five Elements Sect again over this trivial matter, it would surely affect his solitary cultivation. He still has some hope for “Nascent Soul Formation” and can’t waste any more time.
“Alright then, you let Cang Qi and Lu Yi pay attention to this Guo family. If anything happens, then we will act.”
After saying these words, suddenly two Foundation Establishment cultivators whom Chen Mobai had never seen before came in.
“Pay respects to Elder Zhou.”
One of them was dressed in a luxurious robe with a Jade Crown on his head, had a regular face, and his mustache was extremely symmetrical.
The other one was neither tall nor fat, had a waxen complexion, and looked like an old farmer.
The two have completely different temperaments, but after they came in, they first paid homage to Zhou Shengqing.
“Hmm, Meng Hong, you tell them the situation.”
Zhou Shengqing spoke and threw the Void Dark Stone Vein in his hand to the mustached cultivator. After the latter looked at it, his face became solemn and he handed it to the old farmer next to him with utmost seriousness.
“Tell me your thoughts. The mine vein is under the jurisdiction of your Spirit Vein department, and the Spirit Vein department is under the jurisdiction of your Reward Virtue Hall. There must be a rules and regulations.”
Hearing this, Chen Mobai already knew the identities of the two.
They must be the Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall and the Department Leader of the Spirit Vein department in the Divine Wood Sect.
“This mine vein belongs to our Divine Wood Sect.”
The Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall stated his position as soon as he spoke.
“Other veins, probably the other sects will let it go. However, because the Void Dark Stone Vein is necessary for setting up the Teleportation Array, even if it is in our Divine Wood Sect’s territory, a dispute may need to be initiated.”
Meng Hong’s face showed worry. As the Sect Leader, he had to consider the whole picture.
“I think we first need to ascertain the yield of the mine vein. If it is just a minor vein like the one at Shake Mountain, the other sects probably won’t risk battling with the two old ancestors.”
The Department Leader of the Spirit Vein department spoke maturely.
“What if the vein is big?”
The one who asked this question was Zhou Shengqing.
“Then I’m afraid we’ll have to share some of it with Golden Cliff.”
The one who answered was the Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall.
“Sigh, the Void Dark Stone Vein, I really don’t want to give it up.”
Upon hearing Zhou Shengqing say this, everyone present looked at each other.
From the old ancestor’s words, does he want to fight?
Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled. The Divine Wood Sect could secretly mine this vein without letting others know.
But he knew that if the idea was so simple, everyone in the hall would certainly know it, so he wisely kept his mouth shut.
“Ma Gang, first go and ascertain the size of the mine vein.”
Finally, Zhou Shengqing made a decision and the Department Leader of the Spirit Vein department took his leave after taking the assignment.
Mei Jingjun, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Spirit Vein department and familiar with the Solitary Soul Ridge, also followed him out..
