Mo Daozi's mood was a bit heavy, and he was unwilling to speak, so Ling Yunzi gave instructions, asking several people from the Enforcement Hall to keep an eye on Zhong Han, Su Shanhe, and others.
Many people were actually aware of some hidden dangers within the Azure Cloud Sect, but they simply didn't speak about them. For example, the Qian Dynasty's arrangement for Qian Qing to join the Azure Cloud Sect. It would be impossible for him not to have an ulterior motive. When there were no disturbances, no one paid attention, but now, during this extraordinary period, they had to pay attention.
After exchanging for a while, Lu Yuan and Luo Zhen and others left, and Ling Yunzi also left Mo Daozi's pavilion.
"They are all clever people, but when benefits are right before their eyes, they will lose sight of everything else," Mo Daozi sighed.
"Elder Mo, we just need to do our own things. There's no need to get angry with people like Zhong Han and Su Shanhe," Qin Chu said.
"It's not just Zhong Han and Su Shanhe; the Blood Blade Sect, Wolf King Hall, and Morning Star Pavilion are also irrational. Although the three factions have reached an agreement, the opportunity to attack our Azure Cloud Sect is rare, but what about the consequences? Even if they defeat our Azure Cloud Sect, their own strength will suffer significant damage. At that time, it will be the Qian Dynasty's turn to act. The Qian Dynasty does not want Sects to exist within its borders because Sect forces are not under its control," Mo Daozi said.
"Are the higher-ups of the Blood Blade Sect, Wolf King Hall, and Morning Star Pavilion fools? How could they not consider such a thing? Could it be that people from the Qian Dynasty have infiltrated the various great Sects?" As he spoke, Qin Chu's face was filled with shock, because it was very possible.
Mo Daozi looked at Qin Chu, "I have to say, your kid's words make some sense. Our Sect has black sheep, and it's possible the other three great Sects do too. Perhaps the Qian Dynasty began its planning a long time ago."
Rubbing his head, Qin Chu felt the waters were too deep, and anything could happen.
"Don't worry too much, kid. With the defensive Formation activated by the Azure King's Order as a barrier, they can't break in; they absolutely cannot break the core of the Formation Dao that this Seat guards," Mo Daozi said, looking at Qin Chu rubbing his hair. He felt Qin Chu was overthinking things.
"Elder Mo, are you saying that the core of the mountain gate's defensive Formation is your pavilion?" Qin Chu frowned; he felt something was off.
"Yes, they can't even get past the mountain gate, so how can they attack this Seat's pavilion? It's very safe!" Mo Daozi nodded at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu slapped his head; he grasped a key point, "They can't get in from the outside, but what about the inside? If the other side has people within our Azure Cloud Sect, and they launch a surprise attack here, destroying the Formation core, wouldn't we lose?"
Mo Daozi reached out and tapped Qin Chu's head, "You kid, you overthink too much, but it also makes some sense. It's hard to say what kind of people Zhong Han, Su Shanhe, Zhang Ji, and Qian Qing are. If they take advantage of others leaving to fight and attack here, it could indeed lead to a major incident."
Covering the spot on his head that was tapped, Qin Chu was speechless. If he said something wrong, he should be tapped; but he was tapped even when he was right? There was no logic to it!
"We need to arrange some people to ambush the surroundings and see which guys have rebellious thoughts," Mo Daozi said.
Mo Daozi didn't leave. Qin Chu called the Disciple on duty at the library to notify Ling Yunzi and Lu Yuan to come over.
After Ling Yunzi and Lu Yuan arrived, Mo Daozi had some discussions with them.
There was nothing for Qin Chu to do. His Cultivation had reached the sixth level of the True Yuan Realm, which was already quite good among Inner Sect Disciples. He even had the confidence to fight anyone below the fourth stage, but this major conflict between Sects had nothing to do with him. He couldn't get involved; he could only make tea for Mo Daozi and then seize the time to Cultivate.
The forces of the Blood Blade Sect, Wolf King Hall, and Morning Star Pavilion gathered in the area in front of the Azure Cloud Sect's mountain gate and attacked several times, but to no avail. The Azure Cloud Sect's defensive Formation was powerful, and they couldn't break through it yet.
On this day, Ling Yunzi, Luo Zhen, Lu Yuan, and Lei Yin and others appeared at the Azure Cloud Sect's mountain gate, reaching the edge of the area covered by the defensive Formation.
"You want to destroy our Azure Cloud Sect, right? Then we'll fight to the death! If you can't break our Azure Cloud Sect's Formation, then just wait for your mountain gates to be attacked!" After shouting, Ling Yunzi led his forces to retreat, and then a group of people gathered at Qingzhu Peak.
In a short time, several teams of people left the Azure Cloud Sect from its side area.
In the pavilion where Zhong Han resided on the main peak, Su Shanhe, Zhang Ji, and Qian Qing were all present.
"Sect Master, the forces from the Enforcement Hall and the Five Peaks have all left the Sect," Zhang Ji said, looking at Zhong Han.
Zhong Han nodded, "I've made things clear to you. Our Azure Cloud Sect no longer has a place for us, so aligning with the Qian Dynasty is the only way out. After this battle, the Blood Blade Sect, Wolf King Hall, and Morning Star Pavilion will also meet a bleak end, and the Qian Dynasty will unify this region."
"Understood," Su Shanhe and Zhang Ji both nodded.
"Go prepare. Also, do not inform Wei Yuan. Although he follows this Seat, he is not one of us. There are some things he might not do. This matter will be handled by our main peak's people," Zhong Han added after giving his instructions.
Su Shanhe and Zhang Ji both left Zhong Han's residence.
"Prince Qing, if this succeeds, then our Qian Dynasty will be eternally stable," Zhong Han said, looking at Qian Qing.
"Thank you for your hard work, General Zhong," Qian Qing cupped his fists at Zhong Han.
What was Zhong Han's identity? He was a general of the Qian Dynasty. A long time ago, he left the Qian Dynasty and infiltrated the Azure Cloud Sect. Because of his outstanding performance, he was accepted as a Disciple by the previous Sect Master and even rose to the position of Sect Master. Why did he support Su Shanhe's rise to power? Because he knew what kind of person Su Shanhe was. This was also why he took Qian Qing as a Disciple and fully supported Qian Qing.
However, Qian Qing did not know these things before. After this incident occurred, Zhong Han revealed his identity to Qian Qing in order to set up his plan.
"Our goal this time is to break the Azure Cloud Sect's grand Formation, allow the forces of the three Sects to enter and fight each other. This way, the strength of the four great Sects will inevitably be greatly diminished. Coupled with our Qian Dynasty's arrangements within the other three great Sects, the matter can succeed! After the matter is accomplished, the role we played within the Azure Cloud Sect will be the primary merit, and Prince Qing will have no difficulty in ascending to power," Zhong Han said to Qian Qing.
"The primary merit belongs to General Zhong, this Disciple understands," Qian Qing was still very humble, because he knew that now was not the time for him to put on airs; everything had to be done by Zhong Han.
Qin Chu was Cultivating his sword techniques in front of Mo Daozi's pavilion, while Mo Daozi drank tea.
After Cultivating to the point of exhaustion, Qin Chu put away his sword to rest.
"Not bad! You need to pay attention to the coordination of your sword techniques and movement techniques. For example, when striking to the left, the counter-force is on the right. If you want to continue accelerating to the left, then you need to exert force with your right foot. This way, your body will be coordinated. Pay more attention to the opposing forces," Mo Daozi said, looking at Qin Chu.
"Elder Mo, why do I feel a bit suppressed, like a storm is brewing?" Qin Chu shook his head.
"Perhaps the storm is indeed coming," Mo Daozi nodded.
