Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16234 Tianxuan Sect

Tianxuan Sect is the largest sect in the Divine Kingdom, and also the most low-key sect in the entire Divine Kingdom. They have no choice but to keep a low profile, because if they don't, the royal family will keep an eye on them and suppress them. So even if they don't want to keep a low profile, they have no choice.

The sect leader of Tianxuan Sect was named Qingxuan, an old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face. He wore a purple Taoist robe and always held a whisk in his hand. He was chanting scriptures with his eyes closed when he suddenly opened them. He had a very ordinary appearance, and you couldn't tell anything about him when his eyes were closed. But now that he opened his eyes, his whole demeanor changed. He had a pair of bright and intelligent eyes, and these eyes changed him completely.

After opening his eyes, Master Qingxuan moved his hand, and a jade slip appeared in his hand. He probed the jade slip with his spiritual power, and when he saw the contents of the jade slip, he was stunned. Then a smile appeared on his face, and he murmured, "Interesting."

After saying this, he moved his hand, and a jade slip appeared in his hand. He entered some information into the jade slip, then took out a communication array and placed the jade slip on the array. The next moment, he activated the communication array, and the jade slip disappeared.

A jade slip appeared on the teleportation array shortly after. Master Qingxuan glanced at the jade slip and a smile appeared on his face. Then he took out another jade slip, entered some information into it, and placed it on the communication array before teleporting it out.

After doing all this, Master Qingxuan said, "Someone come here."

A young Taoist boy immediately walked in from outside the door. He bowed to Master Qingxuan and said, "Sect Master."

Master Qingxuan said, "Go and invite Elder Qingming." The young Taoist responded and then turned and left. A moment later, the young Taoist led another old Taoist to Master Qingxuan's room. This old Taoist looked to be about the same age as Master Qingxuan, but he was very handsome. Although he was old, he still had an extraordinary demeanor and looked more like a sect leader than Master Qingxuan.

After he entered, he bowed to Daoist Qingxuan and said, "Senior Brother, you were looking for me?"

Master Qingxuan nodded and said, "Sit down." Master Qingming responded and then sat down in front of Master Qingxuan. Master Qingxuan looked at him and said, "I have something to do tonight. Gongsun Xing asked to meet me, saying he has something important to discuss with me. There shouldn't be any danger, but better safe than sorry. If something really happens to me, I'll leave the sect to you."

Upon hearing what Daoist Qingxuan said, Daoist Qingming was taken aback. His expression changed, and he immediately said, "No, senior brother, this is absolutely not acceptable. The sect cannot do without you."

Master Qingxuan shook his head and said, "A sect can't do without anyone. Gongsun Xing must have something important to tell me this time. I want to see what it is. If we do well, we might not have to be suppressed anymore. That would be a good thing for us. So I have to see him. Our sects have been suppressed too much over the years. We have to see him."

Upon hearing what Daoist Qingxuan said, Daoist Qingming opened his mouth but remained silent. Daoist Qingxuan, seeing his expression, continued, "Don't think too much. Nothing will happen. Neither the royal family nor those aristocratic families could possibly lay a hand on me. If they did, it would mean a complete break with us, and they couldn't bear the consequences. So don't worry. I called you here mainly for tonight's matter. I'm going out tonight. If anything happens in the sect, you'll be in charge. Understand?"

Qingming responded, and Daoist Qingxuan nodded, then said, "Someone, go and invite the sect's hall masters here." The young Daoist boy responded and then turned and left.

Soon after, several Taoist priests arrived at Qingxuan's room. After they bowed to Qingxuan, he asked them to sit down. Once they were seated, Qingxuan said to them, "I have something to do tonight and need to go out. If there is anything that needs my attention, just ask Qingming."

Upon hearing his words, the hall masters were all taken aback. They looked at Qingxuan with some surprise. Qingxuan, seeing their expressions, smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing. I'm just going to see an old friend. I have some things to discuss with them. You don't need to worry. Besides, I'm only going to see him briefly and will be back soon. Don't worry." Hearing this, the men nodded in relief. Qingxuan then gave them a few more instructions before letting them leave.

After they left, Qingxuan closed his eyes again and sat there waiting. After dark, Qingxuan stood up, walked out of the room, and then used his escape light to disappear directly from the Tianxuan Sect.

He moved quickly, and two hours later he arrived at a mountain. This mountain was quite peculiar, resembling a pillar. At the summit was a small flat area, no more than ten square meters in size. Qingxuan landed directly on the mountaintop, then sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. A moment later, a beam of light flew in and landed on the mountaintop. Qingxuan opened his eyes, and upon seeing it, a smile appeared on his face. He stood up and said, "Master Gongsun, how have you been?"

Gongsun Xing bowed to Qingxuan and said, "You're too kind, Daoist Qingxuan. I'm doing well. Daoist, you still have the same charm as before, which is truly enviable."

Qingxuan smiled slightly and said, "You're too kind, layman. May I ask what brings you here today?"

Gongsun Xing smiled slightly and said, "Daoist Master is indeed straightforward. There is something I need to discuss with you. You may have heard that recently, some aristocratic families have clashed with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. The conflict has escalated, and the Myriad Laws Divine Sect has even provoked us. The reason I've come to you is to discuss this matter. Our aristocratic family alliance is willing to join forces with the sect alliance to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and wipe it out in one fell swoop. If we can eliminate the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, we are willing to share all its profits with the sect alliance. What do you think, Daoist Master?"

Upon hearing this, Master Qingxuan was taken aback, then said, "Join us in dealing with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect? The Myriad Laws Divine Sect was supported by the royal family. If we deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, aren't you afraid of being punished by the royal family? Oh, I see. The reason you dragged us into this is to have us help you share the burden. When the royal family sees that it's a joint operation, maybe they won't punish you? Is that what you mean?"

Gongsun Xing looked at Daoist Qingxuan with a smile on his face, and then said, "Yes, but that's only one meaning. The second meaning is actually a test to see how the royal family will react."

A glint flashed in Qingxuan Daoist's eyes as he stared intently at Gongsun Xing and asked, "What do you mean?"

Gongsun Xing looked at Daoist Qingxuan and then said, "You should understand what I mean. You should also be very clear about why we have been suppressed by the royal family for so many years. So this matter is a test. I want to see if the royal family still has the ability to suppress us."

Master Qingxuan's expression turned serious. He looked at Gongsun Xing and said, "You should know that this is extremely risky. If the royal family really turns against us, none of us will have an easy time. Do you really want to do this?"

Upon hearing what Master Qingxuan said, Gongsun Xing said in a deep voice, "That's why I said we should act together. Once we act together, even if the royal family wants to turn against us, they won't dare. At most, we'll pay a price, but I think such a test is well worth it."

Upon hearing Gongsun Xing's words, Master Qingxuan frowned. He paced back and forth on the mountaintop for a while before stopping. He then turned to Gongsun Xing and said, "This matter cannot be decided by me alone. I can go back and gather people from other sects to discuss it together. I will give you a result as soon as possible."

Gongsun Xing nodded and said, "I hope you can give me the results as soon as possible. If you don't participate, then we'll have to do it ourselves. Although we might be suppressed by the royal family afterward, we are prepared to pay the price. But by then, you won't get any benefits. Farewell." After saying that, Gongsun Xing flew up and then disappeared in a flash.

After watching him disappear, Daoist Qingxuan took flight himself, then used his escape light to return to Tianxuan Sect. By the time he returned, it was already dawn. As soon as he got back to his room, he immediately called Qingming and the others in.

When Qingming and the others saw Qingxuan, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Qingxuan looked at them and smiled slightly, saying, "Alright, it's alright now. Don't worry. This time, it was Gongsun Xing who came to me. He wants to form an alliance with our sect to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. As long as we join forces to destroy the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, they are willing to give our sect alliance half of the benefits. He came to me for this matter."

Qingming and the others were all stunned for a moment, then their expressions changed. Qingming immediately said, "Senior brother, you can't! The Myriad Laws Sect was supported by the royal family. If we really destroy them, the royal family will not let us off. Besides, destroying the Myriad Laws Sect wouldn't bring us much benefit. There's absolutely no need to do it." The others all nodded in agreement.

Looking at their expressions, Qingxuan continued, "Actually, the purpose this time is not simply to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, but to test the royal family. We are acting in alliance with the aristocratic families. Even if the royal family wants to touch us, they will have to think carefully. If the royal family does not retaliate against us this time, then they will not dare to suppress us easily in the future. This is a good thing for us."
