I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

At the same time, she glanced at Elder Wu from the corner of her eye and saw a smug smile on his face.

"Everyone be careful! Someone from the Blood Puppet Sect is performing puppetry!" Lu Xueyao warned loudly.

There was an uproar in the audience, and representatives from various sects looked at Elder Wu with vigilance in their eyes.

When Elder Wu saw this, his expression changed slightly, but he still sat there pretending to be calm.

At this time, Han Feng and Liu Ruyan also heard Lu Xueyao's reminder. They immediately came to Lu Xueyao's side. The three of them stood in a triangular shape and looked around vigilantly.

"What should we do now?" Han Feng asked.

"First find out who performed the puppet technique." Lu Xueyao said in a deep voice, "It must be Elder Wu. I saw the black talisman in his hand before."

"Okay, let's split up." Liu Ruyan said, "I'll go find the organizers to report this, and you guys continue to observe the situation here."

After that, the three of them split up. Lu Xueyao and Han Feng continued to observe the situation at the arena, while Liu Ruyan quickly left the arena to look for the organizer of the event.

Not long after, Liu Ruyan returned to the arena with a group of law enforcers from the Immortal Cultivation Conference. They quickly controlled Elder Wu and searched for a black talisman from him.

"It's you!" Lu Xueyao looked at Elder Wu coldly and said, "You actually used such despicable means at the Immortal Cultivation Conference!"

Elder Wu looked as pale as death, he knew that his conspiracy had been exposed.

However, he still refused to give in and argued, "What evidence do you have? Maybe this black spell was placed on me by someone else?"

"Humph! Still want to deny it?" Han Feng sneered, "Do you think we didn't notice that you were secretly performing puppetry in the audience? And your eyes and movements betrayed you!"

The atmosphere in the venue of the Immortal Cultivation Conference was extremely tense.

The frequent victories of the Qi Tian Sect not only made other sects jealous, but also made them feel an unprecedented threat.

After Elder Wu's conspiracy to use puppetry on the disciples of Qi Tian Sect was revealed, the tense atmosphere reached a climax.

At this time, Sect Leader Zhao Qi stood up, his eyes were firm and his expression was calm.

He glanced at the representatives of various sects in the venue, and then slowly spoke: "Everyone, since its establishment, Qi Tian Sect has always adhered to the original intention and righteous path of immortal cultivators. What we pursue is the truth of immortal cultivation, not fame and fortune."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a whisper in the meeting room. Some people nodded in agreement, while others looked disdainful, obviously not believing Zhao Qi's words.

Zhao Qi smiled slightly and continued, "I know that the recent performance of the Qi Tian Sect has made some sects feel threatened. But what I want to say is that the road to immortal cultivation is long, and we should make progress together instead of being jealous and suppressing each other."

"Humph! That's easy for you to say!" A representative of Xiaoyao Xianzong snorted coldly, "Your Qitian Sect is now in the limelight, so of course you would say that. But have you ever considered the feelings of other sects?"

Zhao Qi responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "We, the Qitian Sect, have never thought of suppressing other sects, nor do we intend to dominate the world of immortal cultivation. We are just working hard to improve ourselves and contribute to the world of immortal cultivation."

"How do you explain the matter of Elder Wu?" someone asked.

Zhao Qi frowned and said seriously, "Elder Wu's behavior is entirely his personal conspiracy and has nothing to do with the Qi Tian Sect. We are deeply shocked and angry about this, and will actively cooperate with the organizers of the Xiuxian Conference to investigate and deal with it."

The meeting hall fell silent again. Representatives from various sects looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

Although Zhao Qi's words were sincere, the competition in the world of immortal cultivation has always been cruel. Who knows the true intentions of the Qi Tian Sect?

At this moment, the representative of the Holy Maiden Palace stood up. She was a beautiful and noble woman with a clear and pleasant voice.

"I can testify that the Qi Tian Sect did not participate in Elder Wu's conspiracy. On the contrary, they helped our Saint Maiden Hall to expose Elder Wu's intentions."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the meeting hall. The Saint Maiden Hall had a high status among the neutral sects, and their testimony was undoubtedly highly credible. Representatives from various sects began to whisper and discuss.

The Holy Maiden Hall holds a high status among the neutral sects, and their testimony is undoubtedly highly credible.

The representative of the Saint Maiden Hall continued, “We at the Saint Maiden Hall have always maintained a good relationship with the Qi Tian Sect.

Before this Immortal Cultivation Conference, we had already learned that someone was trying to frame the Qi Tian Sect. And the facts have proved that our intelligence was accurate. "

As she spoke, she took out a file from her sleeve and handed it to the host of the conference: "This is the evidence we obtained from certain channels, which is enough to prove the innocence of Qi Tianzong."

The host took the file, read it carefully, and nodded: "This evidence is irrefutable. The Qitian Sect has not violated any rules."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became subtle. The representatives of the sects who had previously criticized the Qi Tian Sect the most fiercely now shut their mouths, with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Sect Master Zhao Qi smiled slightly and bowed to the Saint Maiden Hall representative to express his gratitude: "Thank you for the Saint Maiden Hall's righteous words. Qi Tian Sect is grateful."

The representative of the Saint Maiden Hall smiled back: "Master Zhao, you are too polite. We just said what we should say."

The noise of the Immortal Cultivation Conference gradually faded away, but the relationship between the Qi Tian Sect and the Holy Maiden Palace became closer because of this conference.

After in-depth exchanges, Sect Master Zhao Qi and the representatives of the Holy Maiden Hall discovered that they had striking similarities in many of their concepts of cultivating immortals, which quickly warmed their friendship.

"Master Zhao, although our Holy Maiden Hall and the Qitian Sect have not had much interaction in the past, this Immortal Cultivation Conference made me deeply feel the sincerity and justice of your sect." Feng Qianjiao, the representative of the Holy Maiden Hall, said with a smile.

Zhao Qi nodded and responded: "Female Official Feng is right. Qi Tian Sect has always been adhering to the righteous path and committed to the peace and prosperity of the world of immortal cultivation. Our philosophy coincides with that of the Saint Maiden Hall. Why don't we work together to create a better future for the world of immortal cultivation?"

Feng Qianjiao's eyes flashed with admiration: "Sect Master Zhao is indeed a man of few words. I have the same idea. I just wonder if your sect is willing to formally form an alliance with our Saint Maiden Hall to fight against those hostile sects with ill intentions?"

Zhao Qi laughed loudly: "What Lady Feng said is exactly what I want! The alliance between Qi Tian Sect and Saint Maiden Palace will surely scare away those hostile sects and make them dare not provoke easily again."

After saying this, the two smiled at each other, raised their glasses and drank together, thus deciding on the alliance between the Qi Tian Sect and the Holy Maiden Palace.

No one expected that the Qi Tian Sect would be able to form an alliance with the Holy Maiden Palace, which undoubtedly brought tremendous pressure to the hostile sect.

"Hmph! The Qi Tian Sect actually knows how to find a backer!" Bai Yifei, an inner sect disciple of the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect, said disdainfully.

"However, even if they find the Saint Maiden Palace as an ally, they can never change the situation in the world of immortal cultivation!"

However, the alliance between the Qi Tian Sect and the Holy Maiden Palace did cause quite a stir among the rival sects.

Elder Wu Hanjiang of the Blood Puppet Sect, Chen Xueshou of the Ten Thousand Zombies Sect, and Lord Ma of the Wrath Sect all held emergency meetings to discuss how to deal with this new situation. "We must unite to fight against the alliance between the Qitian Sect and the Saint Maiden Hall!" Elder Wu Hanjiang said with a gloomy face.

Chen Xueshou and Ma Wangye nodded in agreement: "Right! We can't let them succeed! We must teach them a lesson!"

On the last day of the Immortal Cultivation Conference, the sun shone on the podium, and the golden light made the entire venue appear sparkling.

Representatives from various sects gathered together, waiting for the exciting moment - the awarding of ranking rewards.

Zhao Qi stood on one side of the podium, wearing gorgeous clan leader attire, smiling and looking calm.

He looked at the bustling crowd below the stage and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

The Qi Tian Sect achieved unprecedented good results in this Immortal Cultivation Conference. Not only did the disciples frequently win in the competitions, but they also shined in the displays of immortal arts.

He knew that these achievements were the result of his disciples' hard work and unremitting efforts.

Finally, the moment of awarding the prize arrived. The host announced loudly: "The winner of this Immortal Cultivation Conference is Qi Tian Zong!"

Accompanied by warm applause and cheers, Zhao Qi stepped onto the podium and accepted the trophy and generous reward belonging to the Qi Tian Sect.

He looked at the trophy in his hand, his heart filled with pride and satisfaction.

However, this joyful atmosphere did not last long. When Zhao Qi walked down from the podium, he keenly felt the complicated looks from the representatives of other sects.

Some sect representatives showed jealousy on their faces, while others were filled with dissatisfaction and resentment.

Zhao Qi knew that these sect representatives were unwilling and jealous of the Qi Tian Sect's success.

Zhao Qi smiled secretly in his heart. He had expected such a reaction. After all, the achievements of Qi Tian Sect this time were too dazzling, which would inevitably arouse the jealousy and dissatisfaction of other sects.

However, he doesn't care about these, because he knows that only strength and hard work can win respect.

The atmosphere at the dinner party was lively and bustling, with representatives from various sects gathered together, but amid the clinking of glasses there was a hidden contest going on.

The lights are on, the light and shadows are mottled, and everyone has a decent smile on their face, but everyone knows that behind this smile are layers of calculations and precautions.

Elder Wu wore his iconic black robe tonight, with the unique symbol of the Blood Puppet Sect embroidered on the corner - a hideous puppet mask.

He sat at the main table, playing with a small wine glass in his hand, his eyes flashing with cunning and conspiracy.

"Everyone," Elder Wu stood up and raised his glass to greet everyone, "We are gathered here tonight to celebrate the complete success of the Immortal Cultivation Conference. Let us drink this cup together and wish that everyone will improve their cultivation and prosper their sect!"

Everyone raised their glasses in response, but did not forget to secretly observe Elder Wu's every move.

After all, the Blood Puppet Sect doesn't have a good reputation in the world of immortal cultivation. They are good at puppetry and often use it to carry out some unknown activities.

Halfway through the dinner, Elder Wu suddenly suggested playing a game.

He smiled and said, "To make the dinner more interesting, I suggest we play a guessing game. I will show you a treasure and you can guess its origin and purpose. If you guess it right, I will give you a generous gift."

As he spoke, Elder Wu took out an exquisite little box from his sleeve and slowly opened it.

A strange fragrance wafted into my nose, and in the box lay a crystal clear bead, sparkling with alluring light.

Everyone started discussing and speculating on the origin and purpose of the bead. Elder Wu had an unfathomable smile on his face, as if he had everything under control.

However, at this moment, Zhao Qi, the leader of the Qi Tian Sect, suddenly stood up and said lightly.

"Elder Wu, if I'm not mistaken, this bead should be a mermaid teardrop from the depths of the West Sea. It not only has the effect of calming the mind, but also can assist in cultivation and improve cultivation."

Elder Wu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He said with a wry smile: "Sect Master Zhao is indeed knowledgeable. This bead is the mermaid teardrop. Since Sect Master Zhao guessed it right, then this generous gift belongs to the Qi Tian Sect."

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, bowed and said, "Thank you, Elder Wu." After that, he sat down and continued to enjoy the dinner as if nothing had happened.

However, the undercurrent of the dinner party did not subside. Elder Wu's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he was thinking about how to get back at this place.

He exchanged glances with the representatives of other sects calmly, as if he was brewing some conspiracy.

The night was dim and the moonlight was like water. The hustle and bustle of the Immortal Cultivation Conference had faded away, and the mountains and forests outside the venue seemed particularly quiet.

In this tranquility, Zhao Qi, the leader of the Qi Tian Sect of Taihao Star, was walking on the forest path in the moonlight with representatives of the Holy Maiden Hall.

"This night is so intoxicating." Zhao Qi took a deep breath and sighed, "It seems to make people forget all their worries."

The representative of the Saint Maiden Hall, a woman dressed in white and elegant, smiled softly upon hearing this: "Master Zhao, you are in a good mood. However, I think you invited me out not just to enjoy the moon, right?"

Zhao Qi turned around and said sternly, "What the Saint said is absolutely true. To be honest, after this Immortal Cultivation Conference, the relationship between my Qi Tian Sect and other sects has become increasingly tense.

I hope to form an alliance with the Holy Maiden Palace to jointly meet future challenges."

The Saint Maiden representative smiled slightly and said, "Sect Master Zhao's idea is not bad. However, the Saint Maiden Hall has always been neutral and does not participate in any sect disputes. I'm afraid your proposal is a bit difficult."

Zhao Qi was not discouraged, as he was well aware of the Holy Maiden Palace's position and principles.

So, he changed his approach: "What the Saint said is absolutely right. But I don't want the Saint Maiden Hall to get involved in the fight. I just hope that at some critical moment, the Saint Maiden Hall can speak a fair word for my Qi Tian Sect."

The Saint Lady representative thought for a moment and nodded: "I can promise you this. But the premise is that the Qi Tian Sect must maintain a righteous heart and not do evil."

Zhao Qi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Don't worry, Saint, our Qi Tian Sect has always adhered to the right path and will never do anything that goes against morality."

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed. Zhao Qi took the opportunity to change the subject: "By the way, what is your opinion on the way of cultivating immortals? I am willing to listen attentively." (End of this chapter)
