After Ye Lin finished speaking, the Grand Elder nodded to himself. This time, the Saint King Sect would truly belong to their Qingyun Sect.
"Oh, by the way, how has the Dragon family been recently?"
Suddenly, Ye Lin seemed to remember something and asked the Grand Elder beside him.
The Dragon family, the Sect that had previously attacked the cities under the Qingyun Sect, why had there been little news about them recently?
"The Dragon family seems to be secretly plotting something big recently. They are extremely well-behaved at the moment. According to unofficial sources, the Dragon family Sect Master is preparing to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage."
The Grand Elder's expression was solemn. If the Dragon family's Patriarch Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage, it would mean that the Dragon family would openly have two Golden Core Stage cultivators guarding them.
For the current Qingyun Sect, that was truly not good news.
"Golden Core Stage... Don't pay too much attention to this matter. First, bring the Saint King Sect into our fold."
"I have some insights now and need to go into secluded cultivation for a period. I'll trouble the Grand Elder to handle this matter entirely."
After Ye Lin finished speaking, the Grand Elder nodded.
Seeing this, Ye Lin walked towards Du Peak with his hands behind his back.
No matter what, improving one's own strength was always the first priority.
"Let me first see what kind of Martial Skill is contained within this scroll?"
Ye Lin took out the scroll from his space ring and carefully peeled off the outer layer of the scroll. A slightly yellowed piece of paper gradually appeared.
After it was completely peeled off, an entire sheet of paper appeared before his eyes.
Lines of small characters were engraved on it, and to the side, four large characters were written: Flowing Cloud Swordplay.
"Currently, the only swordplay I know is Sword Control Skill and Three Swords of Life and Death. Now, with Flowing Cloud Swordplay, I have another trump card."
Ye Lin picked up the paper and began to comprehend. Every section he read, he could understand its meaning, and his speed was incredibly fast.
An entire hour passed, and the complete set of swordplay had been fully comprehended by Ye Lin.
"A swordplay even stronger than Three Swords of Life and Death and Sword Control Skill."
After reading the entire set of swordplay, Ye Lin came to this conclusion.
Flowing Cloud Swordplay emphasized speed, extreme speed.
The sword struck like a sudden clap of thunder, taking a life in the blink of an eye.
When Cultivated to Major Achievement, once the sword was drawn, the surrounding world would be filled with Sword Shadow, making it impossible for people to guard against.
"Begin Cultivating."
Ye Lin came to the Du Peak training ground, holding Evil Slayer, and began to diligently practice the swordplay.
Time flowed, like the sun and moon flying by.
For an Immortal cultivator, it was just a blink of an eye, and three months passed quickly.
On this day, the entire training ground was filled with Sword Qi.
Ye Lin wielded his sword with one hand, his speed reaching the extreme.
Even the entire training ground was filled with Sword Void, which was truly terrifying.
"Slash."
Ye Lin let out a soft cry, and the Evil Slayer in his hand, like the Nine Heavens thunder, shot out rapidly. The wooden stake in front of him fell in response.
The speed was so fast that the naked eye could not capture the traces of Ye Lin's sword strike.
"Phew, Flowing Cloud Swordplay has been completely mastered, and Seven Kill Fist and Tiger's Roar in the Mountains and Forests have reached Major Achievement."
"However, the last layer of Sword Control Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, still has no clue."
Looking at the Evil Slayer in his hand, Ye Lin frowned.
Was the last layer of Heaven Sword Sect's Sword Control Skill so complicated? No matter what, he couldn't comprehend Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.
"Forget it, rushing is useless. Three months have already passed. It's time to go to Jueduan Cliff to get the Opportunity of the Evil Demon. But before that, let's see how the Grand Elder has handled things."
Putting away Evil Slayer, Ye Lin lifted his foot and walked towards the inner Sect.
Arriving at the inner Sect, on the inner Sect's arena, two Disciples were currently fighting, emitting bursts of earth-shattering sounds of battle.
And the Grand Elder, with a smile on his face, was stroking his beard.
"Grand Elder, how is the Saint King Sect now?"
At this moment, Ye Lin walked up to the Grand Elder and asked.
"The Saint has come out of seclusion? Congratulations, congratulations."
The Grand Elder, seeing this, bowed to Ye Lin, first offering congratulations, then slowly stroking his beard and speaking.
"The Saint King Sect is now entirely under the control of our Qingyun Sect, and the Sect Master Chu Xiao's whereabouts are still unknown."
"And according to the method the Saint mentioned, we put our second target on the Li family. The Li family originally only had four Foundation Establishment Peak Elders guarding them. For some unknown reason, two Elders mysteriously perished."
"This also led to the Li family being the weakest, and now, the Li family is almost ready to surrender to our Qingyun Sect."
After the Grand Elder finished speaking, Ye Lin nodded to himself. As for the mysterious deaths of the two Li family Elders, that matter was, of course, related to him.
"That's very good."
"However, there is also bad news at the moment, which is that the Dragon family's Patriarch successfully Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage. Now the Dragon family, like us, is trying every possible way to make other forces surrender."
"On the surface, the Heaven Sword Sect has reached an agreement with the Dragon family, and the Dragon family has also spoken, saying that they want our Qingyun Sect to give up half of the spirit mines."
As the Grand Elder spoke, his original smiling face gradually darkened.
The Dragon family's actions already clearly put them on equal footing with the Qingyun Sect.
"Don't worry about this for now. It's just the Dragon family, like grasshoppers after autumn, let them continue to jump."
"We still need to quickly take down the Li family and rapidly expand our own forces."
Ye Lin's face was full of sneers.
As for the Dragon family, let them jump for now. The Qingyun Sect only needed to expand its own forces during this period.
Like that Evil Demon, as long as he Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage, then all problems would be easily solved.
"The Saint is absolutely right, but currently, public opinion against our Qingyun Sect is growing, and the biggest problem is the rampant spread of evil cultivators."
"Now, evil cultivators are acting recklessly, appearing in various major cities. A large number of common people die every day, and several small forces have been sacrificed in blood."
"Our Qingyun Sect had previously sent many Disciples down the mountain to eliminate demons, but it was merely a drop in the bucket."
The Grand Elder flung his sleeve fiercely. The situation was originally very good.
But now, on one hand, the Dragon family was vying with the Qingyun Sect, putting unprecedented pressure on the Qingyun Sect.
On the other hand, evil cultivators were constantly holding blood sacrifices. Many common people suffered tragic deaths, and various small forces were in self-preservation, all putting pressure on the Qingyun Sect.
All of this was like dynamite. The current Qingyun Sect could still withstand it, but once the dynamite exploded, even the Qingyun Sect could be utterly destroyed.
Hearing this, Ye Lin pondered in his heart.
With evil cultivators rampant now, when these things happened, no one blamed the other major forces; they only blamed the Qingyun Sect for its inaction.
Because the Qingyun Sect was the overt overlord, the controller of thousands of miles around. Now that such a big event had occurred, why didn't the Qingyun Sect step forward?
This was also the confidence of the Dragon family in daring to contend with the Qingyun Sect.
On one hand, I have two great Golden Core Stage cultivators guarding me, and your Qingyun Sect also has two great Golden Core Stage cultivators guarding it.
On the other hand, the small forces within a thousand miles are all putting pressure on the Qingyun Sect, while my Dragon family can sit back and watch the show.
Thirdly, with evil cultivators running rampant, the common people's first resentment would still be directed at the Qingyun Sect.
This bomb is currently building up power. Once it explodes, without the Dragon family needing to act personally, the other small forces, pushed to the brink, will all turn on the Qingyun Sect to demand an explanation.
When each small force combines, that is a formidable power that even the Qingyun Sect dares not ignore.
They dared not act against the evil cultivators, but against the Qingyun Sect, they would not hesitate.
Evil cultivators were no longer human, but your Qingyun Sect was still human. They dared not slaughter evil cultivators on a large scale; they feared death.
But attacking the Qingyun Sect, they dared. They didn't believe that as fellow kinsmen, the Qingyun Sect would dare to kill them all.
