Chapter 210: Two hundred and ten, missed opportunity Chapter 210: Two hundred and ten, missed opportunity Xu Jiping was somewhat overwhelmed and anxiously excited as he took the bracelet from Song Yan Ning’s hand, “Thank you, elder!”
Song Yan Ning smiled and shook her head, then walked with Qin Yushen toward the canyon’s exit. She had her reasons for giving Xu Jiping the bracelet, as she might need his assistance in the future.
Watching the pair vanish after a few steps, Xu Jiping held them in even higher esteem, truly masters!
Turning his gaze back to the bracelet in his hand, his eyes brimmed with excitement. He knew the elders had a purpose in giving him the bracelet, and he was overjoyed, for such luck was not granted to everyone. Like Situ Mingyou, who had arrived earlier, but had no fate with the elders.
Originally, he had wanted to invite them to join the Qingfeng Sect, but seeing them emerge safely from the ice pool, he discarded the thought. How could such powerful people consider staying in the Qingfeng Sect?
Upon returning to the Qingfeng Sect, Xu Jiping relayed everything he had seen and heard to the Sect Master in detail.
“Did you really see them come out of the ice pool?” asked the Qingfeng Sect Master, incredulous. They were so powerful, no wonder they could stir up chaos within the Hidden Sect. Fortunately, he had heeded Elder Xu’s advice, otherwise, their Qingfeng Sect’s stores would undoubtedly be gone now. How could they contend against such formidable beings?
“Absolutely!” Xu Jiping nodded affirmatively.
After a moment of contemplation, the Qingfeng Sect Master looked at Xu Jiping, “Go and warn Jiang Donghao. If he dares to cross those two elders again, he’ll be making an enemy of our Qingfeng Sect.” Although the two elders had left the Hidden Sect, this did not affect his alliance. Perhaps the Qingfeng Sect might still intersect with the two elders in the future. With such powerful allies, even a word from them could bring great benefits to the Qingfeng Sect.
“Yes!” Xu Jiping excitedly responded, his thoughts aligning perfectly with the Sect Master’s.
“Hold on, make sure to spread the news of those two elders emerging from the ice pool,” the Qingfeng Sect Master instructed. This news would undoubtedly send shockwaves through the Hidden Sect.
Of course, his main reason for having Elder Xu spread this news was to let all sects within the Hidden Sect know that the Qingfeng Sect had the backing of two powerhouses who had emerged from the ice pool.
“Alright.” Xu Jiping nodded and turned to leave.
Upon receiving the Qingfeng Sect’s warning, Jiang Donghao was so furious he felt like exploding, but compared to Qingfeng Sect, Heavenly Trace Sect was no match. However, abandoning the idea of eliminating those two was out of the question. The duo had caused such a disaster for Heavenly Trace Sect, and he couldn’t swallow that insult. If overt actions failed, he would strike in secret; either way, he intended to eliminate them.
Meanwhile, as for the news spreading from Qingfeng Sect, he didn’t believe it. Those two were so young, even if they had trained in Ancient Martial Arts since birth, they couldn’t possibly have broken through to the Innate level of Heavenly-level. Currently, only Innate warriors could enter the ice pool and emerge safely, and no such warriors existed within the Hidden Sect.
At the same time, Situ Mingyou also received the news, feeling some regret. He hadn’t anticipated that the two would descend into the ice pool and, more importantly, come up unscathed. If only he had lingered there longer, then it wouldn’t be Qingfeng Sect fostering relations with them, and he wouldn’t have missed such a great opportunity.
Of course, he didn’t doubt the veracity of the news, believing in their strength. It was just that he had once again underestimated them, missing out on this opportunity.
