Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 728: Turning against guests
"Is there something else going on?"

Xiao Qi muttered to himself, and seeing the solemn expression on the face of the Condensing Qi cultivator, he knew that he had already told everything he knew, and that no matter how much he asked, he would not be able to get any details.

Xiao Qi shook his head and waved his hand to signal Xiao Xiu to retreat.

The Qi Condensation cultivator did not dare to have any doubts. He bowed his head in a hurry and left quickly. He flew dozens of miles away and breathed a sigh of relief.

After he left, Xiao Qi drove the boat to a place not far to the left. There were flags in disarray, and it was obvious that they were the positions of some independent cultivators or small families. He blended in among them and was not conspicuous.

The wind on the lake was cold, but it couldn't suppress the excitement and enthusiasm in the hearts of the people.

He watched with great interest as everyone chatted freely, silently waiting for the person in charge to show up...

At the same time, in the Mu Kingdom, on a huge boat over a thousand feet long.

The cabin is close to the hall, spacious and bright, with all kinds of furnishings available, showing a very exquisite and elegant style.

And at the top, there were three figures sitting.

The man in the middle wore a tall hat and a green robe. He looked old, but full of energy and spirit. The fluctuations of his cultivation were faintly visible, and he was at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.

On his left and right sides, there was an old man and a young man, both of whom were at the Golden Core stage, but were slightly inferior to him.
The Green Robe Immortal remained silent. The old man beside him suddenly spoke up, "Brother Qingmian, it seems that this inheritance is about to manifest and choose a master. Does Senior Taiheng have any instructions?"

The young Taoist also responded, "Yes, Brother Dao, we have come here in compliance with the order of the senior. We are not here just to observe the ceremony. We still need the guidance of Senior Taiheng on how to proceed."

True Man Qingmian smiled faintly and replied, "Why are you two so anxious? Senior Taiheng should have the specific choice in mind. We just need to wait for his instructions."

The old and young both sighed inwardly upon hearing this. They wanted to ask further questions, but they were hesitant and could only hold back...

Not long after, a disciple outside the gate announced: "Three Immortals, the elders from the six sects of Zhao State have arrived."

The green-robed Immortal frowned secretly, but the other two were delighted and said, "Please come in quickly!"

"Yes," the disciple immediately took the order and left.

Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the door again. The three men in green robes stood up slightly and greeted them with smiles on their faces.

"Hehe... fellow practitioners, I'm sorry to bother you."

The six immortals of the Zhao State strode into the cabin with their heads held high. When they saw the three men in green robes, they all bowed their heads in greeting.

The green-robed Immortal brushed his beard and smiled, returning the greeting: "I didn't expect that a mere Golden Core inheritance would attract Fellow Daoist Xuan Ji to come here in person?"

There were six people coming from the State of Zhao. The leader was dressed in white, looked to be about forty-five years old, and had a long sword on his back. He was none other than Xuan Ji Zhenren from Wenjian Pavilion.

Xuan Ji shook his head and smiled, then replied, "I'm not the only one concerned. Look at them, each one of them has resolutely come out of seclusion and rushed over."

As he spoke, he stepped aside and pointed at the people behind him with a smile.

The purple-robed old man from the Purple Maple Forest, the armored man from the Beast Taming Sect, Ma Yuanbai from the Golden Light Valley, and the Qin Immortal from the Water Cloud Stream...

If Chen Mu were here, he would find that they were all familiar people.

In fact, in the past twenty years, as the younger generations of the sect have advanced to the Golden Core stage, they have rarely been involved in the affairs of the sect, focusing on seclusion and trying to make further progress. Now that they have all come out of seclusion, it also shows how much they value this inheritance.

The purple-robed old man's skin was as thin as tree bark, and his smile was extremely ugly. He said, "We would like to take it easy, but the witch in the Palace of Eternal Life is not a simple character. If we leave it to the young people to deal with, we old people really don't feel at ease..."

The Green Robe Immortal nodded with a smile upon hearing this. With an inexplicable glint in his eyes, he waved his hand and said with a smile, "Please take a seat."

The six people from the State of Zhao were not polite. After they sat down, Xuan Ji Zhenren took the lead in stating their purpose: "Fellow Daoist Qingmian, the Palace of Eternal Life is an evil sect. Although they have occupied the Southern Ancient Kingdom and have reason to come here to fight, they are ultimately different from us.

I don't know what your clan means, but do you want our two countries to join forces and exclude the Palace of Eternal Life first?"

Speaking of which, because of the powerful evil sect, the Palace of Eternal Life, the relationship between the two countries of Zhao and Mu has become increasingly close, and the same is true for the friendship between the real people of each sect. Whenever there are important matters, they have to discuss countermeasures.
This has become an unwritten agreement between the two countries. Xuan Ji and others came here to clarify the rules.

What they didn't expect was that the Green Robe Immortal, who had always agreed readily in the past, was smiling and silent this time, as if he was considering something.

The other two also frowned, avoiding their gaze, with complicated and awkward expressions...

Xuan Ji and the others were startled. After turning around to look at each other, they all realized something was amiss and asked tentatively, "Fellow Daoist Qingmian? Has anything changed?"

True Man Qingmian paused for a moment before saying with a pleasant expression, "Fellow Daoist Xuanji, regarding this dispute with the Palace of Eternal Life... I will not bother fellow Daoist Zhao with it."

The tone was casual, but the content made the atmosphere tense.

Xuan Ji Zhenren's smile cooled, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"

Don't bother Zhao? Doesn't that mean Zhao will be excluded?

Faced with the question, Qing Mian Zhenren said calmly: "It's just a Jindan evil sect. Even if that witch cultivates to the perfection of Jindan, how can she resist the magnificent righteousness?"

Immortal Zi Fenglin couldn't bear to listen any longer and sneered, "Daoyou, don't forget, the witch you're talking about couldn't even defeat the Yuanying Ancestor!"

Just as that young Qi Condensation cultivator said, the countries of Zhao and Mu had once paid a huge price to ask Yuanying cultivators to take action, but they still managed to escape death, didn't they?

At this point, everyone present sighed, recalling the scene at that time. The witch's methods were extremely evil. She was determined to hide and escape, and even the Yuanying cultivators could not find her true body...

The Green Robe Immortal's eyes moved, and it was obvious that he was also agitated, but he still said: "There is no need for you to worry about this, fellow Taoist. Since I have said so, I am confident of victory."

Hearing this, the old and the young sighed secretly, but did not say anything, tacitly agreeing with what Qingmian said.

Seeing this, Xuan Ji Zhenren said in a slightly slower tone, "Daoyou, please think carefully. To deal with the Palace of Eternal Life, if our two countries unite, both will benefit. If we separate, we will both be defeated, especially your country..."

He gave Mu Guo some earnest advice, trying to change his mind.

But Master Qingmian had already made up his mind, how could it be changed by just a few words?

Perhaps out of gratitude for their past friendship, he shook his head and reminded, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Ji, listen to my advice. This inheritance is not something that Zhao can compete for. It is better to gather your disciples as soon as possible and withdraw from Mingyou Lake as soon as possible."

The most volatile Beast Tamer was already somewhat resentful, and upon hearing this, he could no longer hold back. He slammed the table and stood up, shouting:
"I want to let you know, fellow Daoist, that Mingyou Lake was originally part of our Zhao State. Because of our friendly relationship, we allowed you to have a share. But you, on the other hand, turned the table and acted as the master. Do you really think our Zhao State is easy to bully?!"
