“What, it’s a woman again?” Mo Daozi asked Qin Chu, completely bewildered by Qin Chu’s sudden words.
“Elder Mo, this Disciple once met a female Cultivator who could fly,” Qin Chu said.
Mo Daozi looked at Qin Chu. “You mean the female Cultivator who appeared in the Ancient King Ruins area, right? No one truly knows her origins; our Sect members haven’t seen her.”
“I had some contact with her; the Azure King Token was actually given to me by her,” Qin Chu said, looking at Mo Daozi.
Mo Daozi’s body flashed, and he grabbed Qin Chu in front of him. “What’s going on?”
“Let go… What are you doing, old man?” Qin Chu reached out to push away Mo Daozi’s hand, then recounted what had happened in the Ancient King Ruins.
After hearing Qin Chu’s words, Mo Daozi shook his head. “Don’t blame this Seat for being nervous; this Seat thought that female Cultivator was the Grand Princess of the Qian Dynasty.”
“Why would Elder Mo think that?” Qin Chu was a bit puzzled.
“Because Cultivators, like beast Cultivators, gain mysterious and unfathomable abilities at the sixth-tier. The Seal of the Ancient King Ruins couldn’t stop a sixth-tier Cultivator, so it’s normal for the Grand Princess of the Qian Dynasty to enter. If she gave you the Azure King Token, wouldn’t this Seat have to consider whether you’re a person of the Qian Dynasty?” Mo Daozi explained the reason for his excitement.
“What is all this? How could I be a person of the Qian Dynasty!” Qin Chu was speechless; this misunderstanding was too unfair.
“A sixth-tier transformed Yao Beast, that’s quite remarkable. However, since she gave you the Azure King Token, it shows she acts with principle and won’t be reckless,” Mo Daozi analyzed, feeling a little more at ease, because a sixth-tier Cultivator was too powerful.
“The Grand Princess of the Qian Dynasty is a sixth-tier Cultivator with strong power, so why doesn’t the Qian Dynasty make a move against the Four Great Sects?” Qin Chu asked, expressing his confusion.
Mo Daozi gave Qin Chu a look as if he were an idiot. “That woman is strong, but are the Four Great Sects vegetarians? Every Sect has its foundation. The Qian Dynasty having that woman is enough to stabilize the Qian Dynasty’s territory, but it’s not enough to conquer the Four Great Sects. If the Four Great Sects united, they couldn’t kill her, but they could still destroy the Qian Dynasty. A mutually destructive outcome is something no one wants to see.”
“So the Qian Dynasty resorted to underhanded methods, planting spies within the Four Great Sects,” Qin Chu understood; the current situation was shaped by circumstances.
“Before you returned, this Seat informed the forces of the Three Great Sects who were besieging our Azure Cloud Sect about the changes in the Azure Cloud Sect and Zhong Han’s identity. This matter will create some impact on them. Even if the internal affairs of the Blood Saber Sect, Wolf King Hall, and Morning Star Pavilion were being controlled by the Qian Dynasty’s spies, once this matter is exposed, it will be difficult for them to control the situation,” Mo Daozi said.
Qin Chu felt that the upcoming situation was still hard to predict; he didn’t know how the Three Great Sects would decide.
Having nothing else to do, Qin Chu stayed in Mo Daozi’s pavilion area to Cultivate, sometimes running errands for Mo Daozi.
Now, Qin Chu, this Utility Disciple, was not only impressive on Azure Bamboo Peak but could also walk freely across all seven peaks of the Azure Cloud Sect. No Elder or enforcer dared to stop him.
Who held power in the Azure Cloud Sect now? It was Mo Daozi, Ling Yunzi, and Luo Zhen. Not to mention Qin Chu’s own great contributions to the Azure Cloud Sect, he was also a favored person in the eyes of the three who held power.
Half a month passed, and the high-ranking officials of the Blood Saber Sect, Wolf King Hall, and Morning Star Pavilion appeared, arranging to meet Mo Daozi, Ling Yunzi, and the high-ranking officials of the Azure Cloud Sect.
Mo Daozi, accompanied by Qin Chu, Ling Yunzi, and Lu Yuan, met with the high-ranking officials of the Blood Saber Sect, Wolf King Hall, and Morning Star Pavilion in the Sect gate area. It was a four-party meeting!
“It’s quite something that you three families could unite to attack my Azure Cloud Sect! Why did no one unite with the Azure Cloud Sect to attack others?” Mo Daozi spoke as soon as they sat down.
“Mo Daozi, talking about these things now is meaningless. This incident was indeed abnormal. Your Azure Cloud Sect has grasped the problem, and our Wolf King Hall is on the wrong path, but the details are untraceable, so we need to sit down and talk,” said an old man from the Wolf King Hall with a tuft of white hair on his head. He was the Grand Elder of the Wolf King Hall, Lang Feitian!
“What is there to talk about? You were the ones who wanted to attack my Azure Cloud Sect; our Azure Cloud Sect was passively defending,” Mo Daozi said.
“Have your forces attacking our Wolf King Hall’s peripheral forces retreat, and we can talk about the matter,” Lang Feitian stated his purpose. Recently, the Wolf King Hall’s peripheral forces had been attacked, and they had already confirmed it was done by Azure Cloud Sect forces.
Mo Daozi looked at the Blood Saber Sect. The leader of the Blood Saber Sect was an old woman wearing a blood-red silk dress; she was the Sect Leader of the Blood Saber Sect, Luo Qingxiao.
“Recall your forces, and we can fight another day. We cannot let certain people succeed,” Luo Qingxiao’s face held killing intent. This time, the Blood Saber Sect suffered heavy losses; Luo Zhen led the team and killed many Blood Saber Sect members.
Mo Daozi nodded. “We can fight the Blood Saber Sect another day. So, what does the Morning Star Pavilion mean? If we say our Azure Cloud Sect has disputes with the Blood Saber Sect and Wolf King Hall, then what are you doing here? Do you think our Azure Cloud Sect is easy to bully?”
Mo Daozi directed his attention towards the Morning Star Pavilion.
“There’s no dispute, but our three families want to divide the Heavenly Fragrance Valley area. One less family is good, isn’t it?” a middle-aged man from the Morning Star Pavilion said.
“You want to destroy my Azure Cloud Sect for profit? Your Morning Star Pavilion is very arrogant. Then, next, we two sides will decide who is superior,” killing intent appeared in Mo Daozi’s eyes, because the Morning Star Pavilion was too arrogant and domineering, and it didn’t take the Azure Cloud Sect seriously.
“Heh heh! The Blood Saber Sect and Wolf King Hall want to talk, but this Seat never intended to. The downfall of your Azure Cloud Sect is the general trend,” the Morning Star Pavilion man sneered.
“Gu Feng, we are sitting down this time to discuss how to conclude this. Knowing that someone is fanning the flames, continuing to fight is not in the interest of our four Sects,” Lang Feitian said, looking at the person in charge of the Morning Star Pavilion.
“What about the Heavenly Fragrance Valley area? Everyone wants that area now, and my Morning Star Pavilion wants it,” the middle-aged man from the Morning Star Pavilion, who Lang Feitian referred to as Gu Feng, said.
Ling Yunzi sneered. “You want it? Then let your forces enter and see if this Seat can kill them.”
Gu Feng’s Aura burst forth, but he didn’t speak, because it wasn’t appropriate. If he wanted to fight now, the Blood Saber Sect and Wolf King Hall wouldn’t agree either.
“This time, my Wolf King Hall suffered significant losses, and a direct descendant of my Lang family was killed. This Seat cannot swallow this anger, but I won’t let those with ulterior motives exploit this. Therefore, regarding the Heavenly Fragrance Valley area, it’s better to resolve it in a more peaceful way,” Lang Feitian said, but his gaze fell upon Qin Chu, who was beside Mo Daozi.
Qin Chu understood that Lang Feitian wanted to kill him because he had killed Lang Yu.
“Things can be slowed down. Your name is Qin Chu, right? You killed Luo Zhan, and you will have to pay the price,” after agreeing with Lang Feitian’s opinion, Luo Qingxiao looked at Qin Chu.
The current situation meant that the overall situation could be stabilized, but the Wolf King Hall and Blood Saber Sect clearly didn’t want to let Qin Chu off. Killing Lang Yu and Luo Xiao had become a burden Qin Chu couldn’t shake off.
