Journey to the head

To this day, the Qingling Sect, the controlling sect of Quyang County, has only one person in the middle stage of the Golden Core, more than twenty people in the Foundation Establishment stage, and more than two thousand disciples.

Even if the forces of all the subordinate sects in the county were mobilized, they would never be a match for the Four Golden Elixir Masters of the Yunshan Sect!

He is a ruthless person who can even surround and kill a Yuanying Lingjun!

For a time, the people of Quyang County were in unrest. If the Yunshan Sect had not become a sect in Cangzhou, and everyone was divided into two states and unable to mobilize troops on their own, Quyang County would probably have changed hands long ago.

Fortunately, the two sides belong to different states, but unfortunately, the two states have been hostile to each other for more than two thousand years, and a war will inevitably break out again one day.

At that time, the Yunshan Sect will definitely counterattack and regain its ancestral bloodline!

As a result, there were more and more rumors and stories about the Yunshan Sect and its leader, Tianyuanzi Lu Qian. The more Qingling Sect banned it, the more bizarre the rumors became among the cultivators in Quyang.

It seems like one cannot integrate into the public without talking about Lu Qian and Yunshan School.

As the story of the rise of the Yunshan Sect spread widely and gained popularity, Bai Ling of the Yuehua Sect connected the clues from the past and naturally discovered that she had been kept in the dark.

The secret funding from the "Xuan Guang Sect" has never stopped, but in fact the Xuan Guang Sect had long been destroyed by the Yun Shan Sect!

Qi Kun, Lu Qian, Lu Qian, Qi Kun.

Lu and Qi, Qian and Kun!
Great! It turns out that the Fellow Daoist Qi that I have been thinking about is Tian Yuanzi himself!

Bai Ling could not suppress her excitement, so she wrote a secret letter overnight and delivered it to the Yunshan Sect, expressing her resentment in an extremely sad way.

Seeing that the time was ripe and that there was no need to hide it, Lu Qian simply admitted his identity and instructed Bai Ling to continue to monitor the developments in Quyang County for him.

From then on, Bai Ling's letters became more frequent. Some of them were to please the king's army and hope that Lu Qian would speed up the Northern Expedition to recover the homeland, while others were full of longing and strongly requested to secretly go south to meet the emperor.

Over the years, with the secret funding from the Yunshan Sect, the Yuehua Sect now has three people who have established their foundation and more than two hundred elite disciples.

He also bribed the leading figures in the Qingling Sect massively and looked for opportunities to change the spiritual vein. Now he has moved the mountain gate from Bailu Mountain to the second-level high-level spiritual vein.

Now she has completely turned to Yunshan Sect and sees Quyang County as Yunshan's possession. Putting aside her personal feelings, Yuehua Sect is determined to take the credit for being the first to abandon the dark and join the light.

The Yuehua Sect is currently mainly helping the Yunshan Sect with several tasks.

The first is to keep an eye on the movements of major enemies such as the Qingling Sect, the Wang Family, and Ziluo Mountain, as well as the overall situation in Quyang County.

The second is to help secretly investigate the Yunshan disciples who are wandering around and hiding their identities.

The third is to look for Tan Yunxing, who fled for fear of crime and whose whereabouts are unknown. He may appear in Quyang County.

It’s a pity that except for the first job which was done well, there was no progress in the other two.

Therefore, Lu Qian thought that this secret letter would not contain any substantial content. However, after taking a look at it, he was shocked!
The Quyang Wang family was almost wiped out!
Looking at the date again, it happened yesterday!
After receiving this shocking news, Yuehua Sect immediately activated the emergency channel and passed the message on.

Lu Qian read the letter at a glance.

No one knew what had happened. Although the people in Quyang County were in turmoil before, under the pressure of the Qingling Sect, they still maintained overall peace and no war occurred.

However, several monks who visited the Quyang King’s family land discovered a horrifying scene.

The entire Wang family territory was stationed with the most elite members of the Wang family and their direct blood relatives. It was originally bustling and densely populated.

But at noon, several monks came to visit the Wang family. Originally, there should be Wang family members on duty outside the mountain gate to pass on the message, but now only a few crooked corpses that were no longer in human form were seen.

Several people were horrified and looked inside, but they were so frightened that their legs went weak and their faces turned pale.

Including the head of the Wang family, two people in the late and middle stages of foundation building, more than two hundred elite disciples, and thousands of clansmen, all died tragically in the clan land!
The Qingling Sect received the report quickly and rushed to seal off the scene, but by then the news had already leaked and a large number of cultivators entered the Wang family's territory.

Perhaps many people wanted to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the fire to rob the Wang family's wealth. However, when they entered the Wang family's land and saw such a tragic scene, they were so scared that they screamed and trembled, and almost everyone retreated in a hurry.

Almost all the dead were gathered in the large parade ground of the clan, forming a huge pile. Their faces were distorted, their bodies were broken and tangled, and their dark blood had coagulated into a thick layer of blood tofu on the ground.

At the top of the pile of corpses were the bodies of the two foundation-building masters of the Wang family. The head of the Wang family reached into the chest of his elder with one hand, pulling half of the heart out, and with the other hand locked the elder's neck, forcibly digging out several bloody holes.

The elder crushed the chief's two eyeballs with one hand and stabbed his lower abdomen with the other hand.

These two people killed each other, no, all the members of the Wang family present killed each other!

This kind of slaughter has nothing to do with the simple and quick killing method of monks. It is more like the biting of wild beasts that will do anything to achieve their goals.

Smashing skulls, sucking brains, tearing throats, pulling out spines, splitting chests, tearing out hearts and skins, smashing pelvises, and twisting vaginas.
This is simply not the kind of evil that humans can do!
Any monk who saw this scene was left with a heavy psychological trauma.

In terms of actions, they were killing each other, but logically, it doesn't make sense at all.

How was it possible that overnight, the Wang family, who had always been united, threw away their rationality, lost their humanity, and killed each other like demons until everyone in the family was twisted into corpses?
The Wang family was completely wiped out, and only a few descendants and members of the side branches were stationed outside and luckily escaped.

But all the people who built the foundation died, and all the elite troops were lost. The Quyang Wang family can be said to have been wiped out!
"At first, everyone speculated that it was a demon cultivator who suddenly appeared and attacked us," Bai Ling wrote in the letter, "but later, a line of words was found in the Wang family's ancestral hall."

It was a line of large characters written on the wall using the Wang family's ancestral tablets crushed into powder and mixed with the blood of Wang family monks.

"The one who destroyed the Wang family was the Yunshan Sect!"

Lu Qian's face changed and he instantly thought of many possibilities.

Now the scene has been completely blocked by the Qingling Sect, and all the monks have been expelled.

The investigation has just begun, and no conclusion has been reached on the tragedy of the Wang family. However, the monks who witnessed the scene and the various sects who joined the discussion after hearing the news all agreed that such a horrific and inhumane way of death must have been done by the devil!

As to whether the tragedy was committed by the Yunshan Sect, there are still different opinions, even though there are traces of blood left behind.

Bai Ling naturally didn't believe it. She thought someone was taking the opportunity to seek revenge and then framed the Yunshan Sect. Finally, she asked Lu Qian how to deal with this matter.

Lu Qian tapped the table with his fingers and fell into deep thought.

The Quyang Wang family was destroyed overnight, and the death was so tragic. From the standpoint of the Yunshan Sect, it was a happy event.

After all, the Wang family was the executioner who attacked and destroyed Yunshan, forcing Lu Qian and other fellow disciples to flee thousands of miles away. They were butchers and destroyers who shattered the peaceful Yunshan. Their hands were stained with the blood of Yunshan monks, and the two sides had a blood feud!
If I don't avenge this, how can I stand between heaven and earth? Even if I die, I will not be able to see my master in the underworld.

Now that the Wang family has been destroyed, it is clear to the disciples of Yunshan.
Standpoints aside, what kind of bizarre means could lead to the Wang family cultivators brutally killing each other? And who did this and then put the blame on the Yunshan sect?

And it just so happened that it was after the incident with Ze Ze Ling Jun that Miao Miao Xuan Jun was preparing for a surprise attack in retaliation and selected Lu Qian to join the assault team to pay his loyalty with practical action.

Leaving behind such a line of bloody words, no matter whether it was done by Yunshan Sect or not, Quyang County will be more wary and fearful of Yunshan Sect, and the possibility of Yunshan Sect returning peacefully to Qingzhou will be lower.

This matter can almost be regarded as a "pledge of allegiance".

But from another perspective, it might be an attempt to alert the enemy.

After reading Bai Ling's secret letter several times, Lu Qian suddenly felt a chill in his heart when he saw the miserable condition of the Wang family monks described in the letter.

He had some vague guesses, but he didn't dare to believe it.

After pacing for a few steps, he finally wrote a letter to report the matter truthfully to Miaomiao Xuanjun, so as to avoid Xuanjun's misunderstanding and causing other troubles later.

Then he prepared to call together the heads of the eight departments and two divisions to inform them of the matter and to brainstorm together to think about what possibilities there were.

Just when he had finished writing a letter and was about to arrange for the Foreign Affairs Department to send it to Xuanwei, Lin Le suddenly came back and knocked on the gate.

When he opened the door, Lin Le's expression was very complicated.

There is anticipation and excitement, but also nervousness, uneasiness and doubt.

Facing Lu Qian's inquiry, Lin Le hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

"Master, I sense the opportunity to build my foundation."

On the fourth day of October in the fourth hundred and seventh year of Jiashen, a large elite force emerged from Mianlong Mountain.

These are the guards that Lin Le is protecting while he is building his foundation.

There are two hundred elite disciples above Geng level in the team, who have practiced the Vast Sea Star Array, with Jiang Baitao and Cui Linglong as the backbone.

The most important thing is that the team is led by Wu Yan.

When the battle for innate spiritual energy was about to begin, Lin Le had just completed his Qi training when he sensed the opportunity to build his foundation. As a result, he didn't even have time to polish his cultivation as Lu Qian had just instructed, and he had to directly impact the foundation-building realm.

The foundation-building land that Lin Le sensed this time was also very far away, so he had to send out enough forces to guard it.

For this reason, Lu Qian recalled Wu Yan from Hanjiangzhu and sent Yu Jiao to Hanjiangzhu instead.

As a result, Wu Yan basically cannot participate in this battle for innate spiritual energy. This is actually somewhat different from Lu Qian's original plan.

Originally, Lu Qian planned to form two teams to participate in the competition, one team consisting of himself, Gu Nishang, and Master Zang Feng, and the second team consisting of Wu Yan, Yu Jiao, and Master Haoran.

This not only provides support but also allows everyone to get more practice and improve themselves in the competition.

In general, the second team is weaker and will be eliminated first unless something unexpected happens. After the second team is eliminated, Wu Yan, Yu Jiao and Master Haoran can serve as substitutes and supplement the first team at any time.

But now Lu Qian has changed his mind. In addition to ensuring that Lin Le's foundation is established steadily, he has a more important purpose.

"You are the one who loves to meddle in other people's business. Here, I'll leave Lin Le and Xiao Yan's troubles to you." Lu Qian said to Bai Tao, "You know their worries. They are both stuck in a dead end. This time, Lin Le is building his foundation, which is a good opportunity."

"Your mission is arduous, but it is very important to both Lin Le and Xiao Yan. If you can really help them resolve their grievances, you will be credited with a great achievement!"

Originally Jiang Baitao was quite complaining about not being able to observe the battle for innate spiritual energy, but now after hearing about her secret mission, she immediately jumped up, saying that no one else could take on such a heavy responsibility but her, and she would definitely try her best.

This huge team headed east of Cangzhou, which was a place the Yunshan Sect had never set foot in before. They just hoped that everything would go smoothly.

Afterwards, Lu Qian discussed the secret letter from Yuehua Sect with the top leaders of Yunshan Sect. Everyone was very shocked. They should have been happy about the demise of the Wang family, but now this strange and tragic situation and the bloody words attributed to Yunshan Sect made everyone a little worried.

But after much discussion, there was no valuable opinion. Lu Qian even asked Akabane's opinion, but Akabane just thought it was a magic secret technique and had no further suggestions.

Lu Qian hesitated for a moment, but finally did not make a wild guess. He just sent a letter to ask Yuehua Sect and Bai Ling to carefully collect intelligence and find out what the Qingling Sect had to say.

On the fifth day of October, Master Zang Feng returned to the Mingyu Sword Sect.

He was now only one step away from achieving golden elixir perfection. He estimated that after another four to five years of practice, he would be able to truly achieve golden elixir perfection and begin preparations for forming a baby.

After a brief congratulations, Lu Qian formed a team to participate in the battle for innate spiritual energy and made the final confirmation with Master Zang Feng.

The team is composed of Lu Qian, Gu Nishang and Master Zang Feng, with Master Haoran as an off-field substitute. Yu Jiao is temporarily guarding Hanjiangzhu and does not need to be summoned unless necessary.

The plan had been made, and Master Cang Feng took advantage of the last few days to familiarize himself with his suddenly enhanced strength day and night. After Lu Qian put away the golden branch, he sparred with Gu Nishang several times to familiarize themselves with each other's latest fighting power.

In this competition, Lu Qian does not plan to use the golden branch.

It's because Miaomiao Xuanjun, Yuanxu Lingjun and Kaixuan Lingjun will basically watch the whole game, and the Golden Branch is too sensitive in this situation.

Although it has spatial attributes and its power is bound within it, there is almost no aura fluctuation and it is difficult to sense with spiritual consciousness. Unlike other treasures with magnificent aura and shocking eyes and ears, there will always be some traces as long as it is used.

Until Lu Qian can think of a better way to cover it up, he cannot risk using it.

It is truly a supreme treasure to the Yunshan Sect and Lu Qian, and is directly related to the development of the sect and its strategies and tactics. If someone else were to covet it and take it away, he would be ready to die.

On the seventh day of October, Lu Qian, Gu Nishang and Master Zang Feng formed a team, and invited Master Chiyu, Master Haoran and the Yujiao combination as the enemy team. They began the final running-in drills, getting familiar with the three-on-three combat method in the battle, and getting to know their teammates even more.

On October 8th, Lu Qian received a letter from the Xuanwei Sect.

This letter contained two parts. One was a response to Lu Qian's report that the Quyang Wang family was destroyed and that the words "Yunshan Sect" were left at the scene.

Miaomiao Xuanjun asked Lu Qian to wait and see what happened, and not to respond. After the battle for the innate spiritual energy, the assault team was formed, and then he would respond according to the situation.

Secondly, please ask Lu Qian to notify the Chongming Alliance that the draw for the arena groups for the innate spiritual energy battle will be held tomorrow, October 9th, so that everyone can arrive on time to draw lots and prepare for the opening of the competition on October 10th.

So on the ninth day of October, after giving some instructions, Lu Qian led the team from Mianlong Mountain, and on the way they met up with the teams from Huanggen Sect, Jiyang Villa, and Mingyu Sword Sect, and arrived at the competition venue in Cheorwon County.

A huge valley appeared before everyone. (End of this chapter)
