Chapter 482 Qingweizi Abdicates, Friends Arrive from Afar [8,000-word long chapter, please subscribe]

Qinglian Mountain Range.

Three days after Zhou Chun returned to Zhou Family's Tuyunling, Wei Yong, representing the Moon Wheel Sect, arrived there and was personally received by Qing Weizi, the abbot of Qinglian Temple.

"Welcome, Fellow Daoist Wei, to our sect. I have already ordered tea to be prepared. Please follow me inside to enjoy tea and discuss the Dao."

Qing Weizi greeted Wei Yong with a smile and led him to the reception area, as if the fall of the sect's pillar, Qingxiao Zhenren, had not affected him at all.

Upon seeing this, Wei Yong laughed and said, "Haha, Fellow Daoist Qingwei is too kind. Then I, Wei, will respectfully accept your offer."

Then he followed Qingweizi to a certain main hall.

After the two entered the main hall together and exchanged pleasantries, Qingweizi picked up her spiritual tea, took a sip, and then looked at Wei Yong to ask about the important matter.

"The war has only just ended, Fellow Daoist Wei should have many things to attend to. May I ask what brings you to our sect so suddenly?"

As a key figure in the Moon Wheel Sect's Tianling Legion, Wei Yong has become a prominent figure in the Jing Kingdom's Tianling Legion due to his outstanding contributions in the war.

Like Lin Hongyu and other Golden Core cultivators who participated in the war in Jingguo, they have all retired successfully and returned to their respective sects and families.

However, he remained in the legion as a representative, and his authority was greatly expanded.

When Qingweizi received the message that someone like him was suddenly sending word that he wanted to visit Qinglian Temple, she was filled with trepidation and anxiety.

However, as the leader of a sect, Qingweizi possessed excellent self-control. No matter how uneasy she was inside, she remained composed and calm when facing Wei Yong.

However, his calm and composed demeanor quickly changed in Wei Yong's response.

Wei Yong looked at him meaningfully and slowly said, "You should know why I've come to visit so suddenly, Fellow Daoist Qingweizi!"

Upon hearing this, Qing Weizi's heart skipped a beat, a shadow of gloom flashed in her eyes, and she frowned as she looked at him, asking, "What do you mean by this, Fellow Daoist Wei? I don't understand what you mean!"

His reaction seemed to be exactly what Wei Yong had expected. He immediately smiled faintly and said, "Then Fellow Daoist Qingwei, please take a look at these two items first!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and flicked the two books in front of Qingweizi.

Seeing this, Qingweizi's expression tightened.

He reached out and grabbed the two books, glanced at Wei Yong, and then took a deep breath and began to read the contents of the books.

As he began to flip through the books, his expression clearly changed. When he had only read half of them, he suddenly raised his hand and destroyed both books.

Then, slamming his fist on the table in a fit of rage, he roared, "Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

Before the shout had even finished, he turned to Wei Yong and said, "Fellow Daoist Wei, do you have any evidence? If you do, I will personally arrange for people to arrest those scoundrels and hand them over to the Alliance for punishment!"

Hearing this, Wei Yong looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Evidence? Wasn't the evidence destroyed by you, Fellow Daoist Qingweizi?"

"this……"

Qingweizi's expression changed, and then she quickly looked at him with an embarrassed expression and said, "I was just too angry and lost my composure. I didn't mean to do that. Besides, these two books alone are not enough to convict me!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yong maintained his ambiguous smile and said, "I understand, I understand. Fortunately, I only gave Fellow Daoist Qingwei two copies; there are still quite a few originals and other copies!"

Seeing his reaction and hearing his sarcastic words, Qingweizi looked away uncomfortably, unwilling to meet his gaze.

But what she said was, "That's good, that's good."

Then there was silence.

But how could Wei Yong let him get away with it like that?

He then looked at him calmly and said, "Fellow Daoist Qingwei should know that treason is a capital offense. According to the rules of the Alliance and the Legion, the suspects listed in this secret book should be arrested and interrogated. That is why I have come here today."

Upon hearing this, Qing Weizi quickly replied, "Fellow Daoist Wei, of course, has no problem arresting and interrogating people. However, those people are, after all, cultivators from vassal families of my Qinglian Temple. Their ancestors and they themselves have rendered great service to our sect. Until there is conclusive evidence proving that they have colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, I hope Fellow Daoist Wei will not harm them!"

"Of course. Wei and the alliance will never wrong a meritorious official who has rendered service to the alliance, but we will also never let a traitor go unpunished!"

Wei Yong said with a righteous expression.

After speaking, he looked at Qing Weizi with a meaningful gaze and said in a deep voice, "This time, I, Wei, want to see who gave those guys the audacity to collude with demonic cultivators and commit such a heinous act of treason!"

Qing Weizi's eyelids twitched slightly, and she immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Fellow Daoist Wei is right. If we truly discover those who have colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, we must punish them severely!"

After a brief, cryptic conversation, Qingweizi, citing her role as host, arranged for a Golden Core Elder from the Qinglian Temple to accompany Wei Yong to certain locations to apprehend suspected individuals.

However, in the next few attempts, Wei Yong and his team came up empty-handed.

The cultivation families they visited all insisted that the suspects sent to the battlefield by their families had never returned, and indeed, they had not found the suspects within their family's mountain gates.

But the fact that Wei Yong came here means that these people have already retired from the Heavenly Spirit Legion.

At this moment, the Golden Core Elder of Qinglian Temple, who had accompanied Wei Yong to arrest the people, suddenly spoke up, saying, "Fellow Daoist Wei, there's something fishy about this matter. If you hadn't come looking for people, our sect might not have known so quickly that so many people hadn't returned safely from the battlefield!"

"It's said that a few days ago, Zhou Zhengchun, the head of the Zhou family in Tuyunling, Lingzhou, was ambushed and killed by demonic cultivators on his way home. Could it be that these missing people also died at the hands of demonic cultivators on their way back to their families?"

When he mentioned Zhou Chun's experience and used it as an example, Wei Yong's face darkened.

In fact, Wei Yong knew in his heart that most of the missing people were not killed by any demonic cultivators, but had been silenced.

However, having come prepared, he did not feel disappointed.

He simply said, "There are still two places I haven't been to yet. Let's talk about them after we've been to them all."

Then they headed to the next place.

Just as the two were on their way to the next house, a blue streak of light suddenly appeared and stopped them.

After the blue light stopped, the figure of a middle-aged man in a blue robe was revealed.

Beside the middle-aged man in blue robes was a cultivator in the Purple Mansion stage who had fallen into a coma.

After stopping Wei Yong and his companion, the middle-aged man in blue said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Wei, just as you predicted, this guy was hiding in a secret stronghold near his family. He tried to escape earlier, but I caught him on the spot!"

"Oh, so he fled to avoid punishment. It seems he really was involved!"

Wei Yong replied in a low voice, but as he spoke, his gaze was fixed on the Golden Core Elder of Qinglian Temple.

The Golden Core cultivator frowned slightly but remained silent.

Seeing this, Wei Yong immediately said, "Let's go, Junior Brother Xu, come with me to the Azure Lotus Mountain Range to meet Fellow Daoist Qingweizi."

Then he took the captured Purple Mansion stage cultivator with him to the Azure Lotus Temple.

Not long after, the group met with Qingweizi again.

"Fellow Daoist Qingweizi, all the other suspects have disappeared without a trace. Fortunately, this person was caught by our sect's Junior Brother Xu when he tried to escape."

"What do you think should be done with this person?"

Inside the main hall, Wei Yong threw the unconscious Purple Mansion stage cultivator to the ground and calmly told Qing Weizi what had happened.

Qingweizi's expression darkened slightly, and she did not rush to answer.

After a long silence, he slowly said, "Since Fellow Daoist Wei has come to handle this matter on orders, how can I overstep my authority? You should handle it yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yong immediately said, "In that case, to avoid any misunderstanding from Fellow Daoist Qingweizi, let's wake him up now for interrogation!"

As he spoke, he sealed the man's magical power on the ground and awakened his consciousness.

"Zeng Shiming, you've gotten yourself into big trouble!"

"If you honestly confess your treasonous acts today and reveal the identity of the mastermind behind them, perhaps your entire Zeng family will not be implicated. Otherwise, once your crime of treason is confirmed, your entire family will be wiped out!"

When Zeng Shiming regained consciousness and before he could figure out what was going on, a majestic voice boomed in his ears.

Upon hearing what the voice said, his expression changed drastically, and his eyes were filled with terror.

He then looked around and quickly spotted Qingweizi and the Golden Core Elder of Qinglian Temple.

Upon seeing these two people, he seemed to have seen his saviors.

Before he could even cry for help, Qing Weizi spoke up, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zeng, did you hear what Fellow Daoist Wei said? If you have truly committed treason, you'd better confess immediately. That way, I might be able to plead with Fellow Daoist Wei to spare the innocent members of your Zeng family who are unaware of the truth, considering your and the Zeng family's past contributions!"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Shiming's expression changed immediately, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Wei Yong merely glanced at Qing Weizi without saying anything.

After a series of changes in his expression, Zeng Shiming gritted his teeth and said, "I confess. I did intentionally let a group of demonic cultivators cross the border on the battlefield. The reason was that when I was participating in an underground black market transaction, I couldn't resist the temptation of a demonic cultivator. He was moved by a spiritual item that could help open the Purple Mansion, and I agreed to turn a blind eye to it as much as I could!"

After saying this, he knelt down and kowtowed, pleading, "This matter was committed by a junior who was blinded by greed and committed a heinous crime. It has nothing to do with the other cultivators of my Zeng family, and none of them know about this matter. I beg Senior Wei and Abbot to investigate thoroughly and not implicate the innocent!!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. Since you admit to this, then I can proceed according to the rules!"

With a sinister grin, he said, "Whether or not innocent people have been implicated, I, Wei, will know the truth after searching their souls!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and pulled Zeng Shiming, who was kneeling on the ground, to his front. He then grabbed Zeng's forehead and was about to use his soul-searching technique.

Upon seeing this, Zeng Shiming was terrified and cried out, "No, you can't do this! Abbot, please save me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qingweizi suddenly made a move, raising her hand and striking him with a force that instantly killed him from a distance!

Wei Yong did not stop him at all throughout the entire process.

Only after Zeng Shiming collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, did he look at Qing Weizi with a grave expression and question her, "Fellow Daoist Qing Weizi, what is the meaning of this?"

Faced with his questioning, Qing Weizi calmly replied, "Zeng Shiming was formerly a disciple of our sect and has represented the sect on several secret missions. He knows many of our sect's secrets. How could I allow Fellow Daoist Wei to search his soul and leak our sect's secrets!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yong immediately questioned sharply, "If Fellow Daoist Qingweizi puts it this way, can I also conclude that his act of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country is related to your sect?"

"Fellow Daoist Wei, please be careful with your words!"

Qing Weizi's expression changed, and she immediately shouted angrily, "Our sect's ancestor, Qingxiao, sacrificed himself by detonating his nascent soul to destroy the spatial teleportation channel built by the demonic cultivators. Now that his body is barely cold, you dare to slander our sect like this? Aren't you afraid that this will chill the hearts of all cultivators in the world?"

Wei Yong, however, did not back down. He directly retorted, "Senior Qingxiao Zhenren's heroic deeds are certainly admirable, but his heroic deeds cannot be used as an excuse for later generations to commit evil!"

After saying that, he coldly and firmly stated to Qing Weizi, "If Fellow Daoist Qing Weizi does not give me an explanation today, then I will have no choice but to handle this matter officially and announce it publicly. At that time, the truth will be judged by public opinion!"

So this is his real purpose?

Qingweizi stared at Wei Yong with a heavy expression, her mind racing with various thoughts, filled with doubt and uncertainty.

When he made his move, he was actually prepared to be blocked by Wei Yong.

But Wei Yong unexpectedly did not stop him.

He didn't believe that Wei Yong was unable to react at the time; he could only have deliberately refrained from making a move.

Therefore, the meaning behind Wei Yong's tough stance is quite intriguing.

Thinking of this, Qingweizi did not rush to respond, but pondered Wei Yong's true intentions and the various consequences that her reply might cause.

Upon closer reflection, Qingweizi suddenly felt a surge of fear.

He suspected that he had been tricked, and that Qinglian Temple had also been tricked. His answer just now was already showing signs of falling into a trap.

"Our ancestor sacrificed his life to ensure the safety of our sect for two hundred years and to obtain a [Nascent Soul Pill]. However, these are things that will not be made public. On the surface, what our sect can benefit from the ancestor's sacrifice is the reputation he gained through his heroic deeds!"

"If, now that everyone is praising the patriarch's great deeds, one of our disciples were to commit treason, then..."

Upon realizing this, Qingweizi broke out in a cold sweat, and her gaze toward Wei Yong was filled with shock and anger.

He couldn't help but shout angrily, "Fellow Daoist Wei, your sect's Senior Silver Moon Immortal personally promised our sect's Ancestor Qingxiao that he would ensure two hundred years of peace for my Qinglian Temple!"

"Our patriarch's body is barely cold, and you're already plotting against our sect like this? Don't you think that's going too far?"

By the end, Qingweizi's voice trembled slightly.

Seeing that he finally panicked, Wei Yong couldn't help but reveal a smug look.

He then slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Qingweizi, you are mistaken. Zeng Shiming's treasonous act occurred before Senior Qingxiao Zhenren's passing."

At this point, he changed the subject again, saying, "Besides, I, Wei, am acting impartially. Even if Senior Qingxiao Zhenren were still alive, he would support me in thoroughly investigating this matter, and might even personally take action to clean up his own sect!"

The last four words, "clean house," were emphasized, and he stared intently at Qingweizi.

These words and glances filled Qingweizi with both shock and anger.

He definitely had something to hide, and judging from Wei Yong's expression, it seemed like he knew something.

This made him feel extremely uneasy and confused.

However, he had been sitting in the position of abbot of Qinglian Temple for a long time, and after a moment of panic, he quickly calmed himself down.

He looked intently at Wei Yong and said, "I misspoke just now, and I apologize to Fellow Daoist Wei."

After saying that, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

He then continued, "However, Patriarch Qingxiao has just sacrificed his life for the sake of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. If anything detrimental to the reputation of our sect were to be spread now, it would be tantamount to disrespecting our Patriarch. I implore Fellow Daoist Wei to show mercy and be lenient!"

Upon seeing this, Wei Yong slowly said, "I also wanted to make an exception, but Fellow Daoist Qingweizi, you didn't give me that chance. You directly killed the criminal I had finally managed to capture. Now that the criminal is dead, the case has stalled. How am I supposed to explain this to my superiors, Fellow Daoist Qingweizi?"

No matter what you say, you still don't want to let this matter rest!

This immediately made Qingweizi feel extremely uneasy.

He paced back and forth in the hall, looking hesitant and undecided.

Wei Yong didn't urge him, but simply watched leisurely with his arms crossed.

After a long while, Qingweizi seemed to have finally figured something out. She suddenly sighed and murmured, "Back then, Patriarch Qingxiao promised me the position of Abbot, hoping that I could unite the cultivators and resources of our sect and make it stronger and more prosperous!"

"Unexpectedly, during my more than two hundred years in office, not only have I failed to make our sect stronger, but I have also caused it to decline day by day during my tenure. I am truly ashamed of the trust placed in me by Patriarch Qingxiao and all my fellow disciples!"

At this point, Qingweizi closed her eyes slightly, and couldn't help but recall the scene when she first took over as the abbot.

At that time, Jingguo was at peace, Qingxiao Zhenren was still in his prime, and Qinglian Temple was full of vitality.

At that time, he firmly believed that after becoming the abbot, he would be able to make Qinglian Temple even stronger.

In the years that followed, under his management, Qinglian Temple did indeed develop steadily and became better and better.

Even the war when the Hualong Sect made a comeback did not truly damage the Qinglian Temple. On the contrary, the temple made a fortune by counterattacking the Hualong Sect later.

During this time, he also gained a great reputation and benefits in the "Thousand Deadly Crickets Disaster" in Yang Kingdom, which earned him praise from Master Qingxiao.

However, this favorable situation eventually changed drastically with the formation of the Nascent Soul by the Heavenly Mirror True Man!

The decline from prosperity began right here!

"Now our only hope is that Senior Brother Qingchen will succeed. If he can successfully form his Nascent Soul, our sect will still have a chance to revive!"

Qingwei Zi murmured to herself, then opened her eyes.

He calmly looked at Wei Yong and said, "What Fellow Daoist Wei said earlier makes some sense. Zeng Shiming was, after all, a disciple of our sect. He committed such a heinous act, and I, as the abbot, bear the responsibility for failing to discipline him properly. Therefore, I have decided to resign from my position as abbot and spend fifty years in seclusion. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wei is satisfied?"

"Brother Abbot, you..."

The Golden Core Elder of Qinglian Temple, who was standing to the side, changed his expression drastically. He stared at Qing Weizi with a look of shock on his face, wanting to say something but holding back.

But Qingweizi waved her hand and said, "My mind is made up, Junior Brother, there's no need to persuade me further."

Seeing this, Wei Yong nodded with a satisfied expression and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Qingwei is willing to admit her mistake, I am not an unsympathetic person. This matter will be handled as you say!"

After saying that, he added casually, "By the way, there's something I need to inform Fellow Daoist Qingweizi on behalf of our sect's headmaster. Young friend Zhou Zhengchun from the Zhou family of Lingzhou has made outstanding contributions in this war and has always admired our sect. Therefore, our headmaster has decided to accept the Zhou family as a vassal of our sect, to herd demon beasts for our sect for generations!"

Wei Yong, ignoring Qing Weizi's instantly grim expression, continued, "Master Uncle is doing this for your own good, Fellow Daoist Qing Weizi. After all, Young Friend Zhou has killed too many elite demonic cultivators on the battlefield. Now, even a Golden Core stage demonic cultivator has infiltrated Jing Kingdom to assassinate him. If something were to happen to him, Fellow Daoist Qing Weizi, your reputation as her nominal master and that of Qinglian Temple would be severely damaged!"

After these words were spoken, Qing Weizi's face naturally turned extremely ugly, which also angered the Golden Core Elder of Qinglian Temple who was unaware of the inside story.

The man immediately glared at Wei Yong and shouted, "Fellow Daoist Wei, what do you mean by this? Do you think that my Qinglian Temple, having lost Patriarch Qingxiao, can't even protect one of its vassal families?"

He then said angrily, "A mere Golden Core stage demonic cultivator? I will personally go to the Zhou family tomorrow to oversee things and see if that demonic cultivator dares to risk his life to target the Zhou family!"

But Wei Yong ignored him and simply looked at Qing Weizi, saying, "Fellow Daoist Qing Weizi, what do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Weizi replied with a dark expression, "Since the Moon Wheel Sect values ​​the Zhou family, it is a blessing for the Zhou family. Our Qinglian Temple has no objection to this matter!"

"Senior brother, you..."

The Golden Core Elder of Qinglian Temple was still unconvinced and wanted to say something, but Qingweizi stopped him by raising her hand.

Qing Wei Zi stared at Wei Yong with a gloomy expression and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Wei, do you have anything else to say? If not, I need to convene the other elders to discuss the matter of abdication and handing over the reins to a more worthy successor, so I will not entertain you any longer!"

"In that case, I, Wei, will take my leave now."

Wei Yong glanced at the two Golden Core cultivators from Qinglian Temple, smiled faintly, and then took the corpse on the ground and left Qinglian Temple.

After the two left the Azure Lotus Mountains, Xu, the middle-aged man in blue who had remained silent until now, immediately transmitted his voice to Wei Yong, saying, "Senior Brother Wei, I don't understand. Since we know that Qing Wei Zi secretly instigated people to collude with the enemy and betray the country, why don't you investigate this matter thoroughly and prevent the Azure Lotus Temple from losing its reputation!"

"If we could use this matter to disrupt that Daoist Qingchen's process of forming his Nascent Soul, that would be even better!"

He had some questions, but he never voiced them in the Qinglian Temple. This alone is enough to show how much he respected Wei Yong.

Wei Yong, who seemed to have a very good relationship with him, immediately shook his head slightly and said, "Now is not the time. If Qinglian Temple collapses too quickly, it will not be good for our sect. Moreover, regarding Daoist Qingchen's attempt to form his Nascent Soul, our senior uncles and elders may not necessarily want him to fail!"

"As long as we can get Qingweizi to step down from the position of abbot and cause the Golden Core elders of Qinglian Temple to fight over the position of abbot, it will already show the power of our sect and weaken Qinglian Temple. This is also what our sect leader uncle instructed me to do."

Upon hearing his answer, Junior Brother Xu immediately nodded in understanding, saying, "I understand, that's indeed a good idea."

Seeing that he understood, Wei Yong nodded slightly and said, "Alright, now let's go to the Zhou family and visit my old subordinate. This young man is destined for greatness. Giving him some favors now might bring unexpected rewards in the future!"

Not long after, upon learning of Wei Yong's visit, Zhou Chun hurriedly went out of the mountain gate to personally welcome his former superior into the Zhou family home.

"The presence of Senior Wei and Senior Xu is truly an honor to the Zhou family. Please take a seat, both of you."

Inside the main hall, Zhou Chun welcomed Wei Yong and his fellow disciple into the mountain gate and warmly invited them to the seats of honor.

Although he had not received prior notice, he could roughly guess that Wei Yong's visit must have brought good news.

"Haha, young friend Zhou, there's no need to be so polite. My fellow disciple and I just happened to be passing by and stopped by for a visit. No need for such formalities."

Wei Yong laughed heartily, saying there was no need to be polite, but he still took the seat of honor without hesitation.

Then, without keeping everyone in suspense, he quickly revealed how he had tracked down the traitor who had colluded with the enemy and forced Qingweizi to agree to abdicate.

Finally, with a smile on his face, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Master Uncle has agreed to accept the Zhou family. I have also spoken to Qingweizi about this, and she did not object. From now on, we are truly one family!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun's expression brightened, and he immediately exclaimed with delight, "This is truly wonderful news! It's the best news I've received recently!"

Then he stood up and said, "Senior Wei, you've worked hard. Please forgive this junior's bow!"

After speaking, he bowed to Wei Yong to express his gratitude.

Upon seeing this, Wei Yong quickly stood up and gestured with his hands to help Zhou Xiaoyou up, saying, "Young friend Zhou, please rise quickly."

He then continued, "I have also heard about the attack on young friend Zhou. You don't need to worry about it. Soon, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator will personally oversee the entire Jing Kingdom. If any Golden Core stage demonic cultivator dares to show their face again, they will surely be killed without a burial place!"

"If that's the case, then I can be completely relieved!"

Zhou Chun agreed verbally, but in his heart he didn't dare to believe it completely.

Words may be spoken by others, but your fate is your own.

He's already made up his mind not to go out easily; he'll stay home for a few years and see how things go.

At the same time, he seized the opportunity to complain to Wei Yong, "Senior Wei, I'm not only worried about the situation of the demonic cultivators, but also about whether the Dragon Transformation Sect will send people to deal with my Zhou family!"

Upon hearing his words, Wei Yong frowned, then nodded and said, "Hmm, your concern is not without merit. I will report this matter to my Uncle Master, the Sect Leader, and see if we can persuade True Person Tianjing to take care of your Zhou family's Tuyun Ridge!"

Can the Moon Wheel Sect influence the Heavenly Mirror Master?

Zhou Chun's heart stirred. Remembering that Tianjing Manor was less than a thousand miles from Tuyun Ridge, he looked at Wei Yong with eager eyes and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Senior Wei to take care of this matter. If it succeeds, the Zhou family will surely reward you handsomely!"

Upon seeing this, Wei Yong waved his hand slightly and said, "Don't say that. I can't control my Uncle Master's thoughts, so I can only try my best to say a good word for you!"

"Of course, of course, I must thank Senior Wei for speaking well of the Zhou family!"

Zhou Chun nodded repeatedly with a smile on her face, knowing that too much of a good thing could be bad, and did not go too far.

Afterwards, Wei Yong talked about the reward for meritorious service and the subsequent operation against the lurking demonic cultivators, and then took his leave without lingering.

After discussing it with him, he agreed that Zhou Chun should temporarily not go to the Moon Wheel Sect to pay respects to the Moon Worshiping Immortal.

Five days later, Qing Lingzi, the Golden Core Elder of Qinglian Temple, came to visit Tuyunling.

He came on behalf of Qing Weizi to take back the fourth-tier giant tiger puppet that he had lent to Zhou Chun.

Although Zhou Chun was quite reluctant to part with it, he had no choice but to give the items to the other party.

Naturally, this process was not pleasant.

Qing Lingzi was very dissatisfied with the Zhou family's alignment with the Moon Wheel Sect, and his words were full of sarcasm and aggressiveness.

Zhou Chun was determined not to argue with him, and no matter what he said, she pretended not to hear it. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and called Lin Hongyu to drive the man away.

Just as Zhou Chun was settling in the Tu Yunling Mountain gate, listening to news from all directions, an unexpected visitor, whom he never expected, suddenly came from afar to visit the Zhou family.

On this day, a strange aura at the Golden Core level suddenly appeared outside Tu Yun Ridge, quickly alarming Lin Hongyu, a Golden Core cultivator.

"This is the Zhou family of Tu Yun Ridge. What fellow Daoist is spying on us from outside?"

Before Lin Hongyu had even stepped out of the cave, her shout had already reached outside the mountain.

Zhou Chun was also alarmed and hurriedly flew out of the cave to investigate the situation.

However, when he saw clearly the appearance of the Golden Core cultivator confronting Lin Hongyu outside the mountain gate, he was completely stunned.

A moment later, Zhou Chun swiftly flew out of the formation, his eyes wide with surprise as he shouted directly at the Golden Core cultivator, "Fellow Daoist Luo, how could it be you? How did you find this place!"

It turned out that the Golden Core cultivator who suddenly visited the Zhou family was none other than Luo Qingni, the alchemy master he had befriended in the Great Zhou Kingdom!
