Chapter 71: Is Your Son Yang Ping Alright?
Ming Zhaoshuang couldn’t be bothered to look at Hao Yaolian’s shameless face. Her clear, cold eyes swept over him, suddenly fixing on him as she said, “What are you doing?”
In an instant, she arrived in front of that person.
Seeing the situation before her, Ming Zhaoshuang lowered her head and suddenly smiled.
“Sect Master Ling, long time no see. I wonder if your son, Yang Ping, is well?”
That person was a subordinate of the Lingxiao Sect, secretly sent a message by Hao Yaolian. He was at the Early Golden Core stage and usually very arrogant. Now, facing Ming Zhaoshuang, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Caught so abruptly, not only was that person startled, but even the Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect, on the other end of the communication talisman, couldn’t help but jump in fright at Ming Zhaoshuang.
Hearing Ming Zhaoshuang’s words, the Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect remembered his son who was still lying in bed and said angrily, “You Ming family brat, how dare you be so presumptuous!”
The Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect said, “Are you all being so presumptuous that you intend to declare war on my Lingxiao Sect!”
Ming Zhaoshuang didn’t know about the Ming family’s situation and felt that she couldn’t make a decision on such a major matter. So she smiled and said, “Sect Master Ling, I am just a teenage girl. What can I represent?”
Just then, Fei Changxiu also approached and said, “What, old man Ling, haven’t you received the challenge letter from Ao Tian Sect yet?”
The Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect choked and said, “These are important matters between two sects, how can juniors decide them!”
He certainly had no intention of being afraid. His Lingxiao Sect was not afraid of Ao Tian Sect. After all, there had been quite a few clashes between Lingxiao Sect and Ao Tian Sect over the years, and he had long endured this foul breath!
However, what he was most worried about was that if Lingxiao Sect and Ao Tian Sect went to war, wouldn’t that benefit Bixia Sect.
Although Lingxiao Sect and Bixia Sect had a good relationship, and were even brothers who had lost to Ao Tian Sect together in the past, the Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect also knew clearly that the Sect Master of Bixia Sect was a double-dealer, and might stab him in the back at any time.
Ao Tian Sect had provoked this matter first. Although the Young City Lord of Qian City had indeed spoken profanely and deserved to be beaten or killed.
However, Ao Tian Sect’s core disciples had entered the territory of his Lingxiao Sect without exchanging correspondence. Their intentions were naturally self-evident, violating the common covenant of the Three Sects and Six Clans.
“If my disciple cannot decide, what about this Peak Master?”
Suddenly, an extremely dignified voice came from above.
Fei Changxiu looked up and indeed saw his Honored Master arriving by sword control with dozens of Ao Tian Sect disciples. His usually stern face was now even more serious.
The Peak Master Xiu Tian arrived in front of Fei Changxiu and the others. Seeing the dozens of young women filling Wangyin Inn, his expression turned even colder.
Naturally, the Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect also saw the Peak Master Xiu Tian and the hundred-plus Lingxiao Sect disciples behind him. He immediately said angrily, “What do you Ao Tian Sect intend by bringing over a hundred disciples into the territory of my Lingxiao Sect! Do you really think my Lingxiao Sect has no one!”
“Xiu Yan! You had better think clearly, what good will come of going to war with my Lingxiao Sect!”
Peak Master Xiu Tian said with a smile that wasn’t a smile, “What good? Slaying demons and exterminating devils, upholding righteousness, that is the greatest good!”
“Let me ask you, for over thirty years, my Ao Tian Sect’s previous generation’s Heavenly Prodigy, my Xiu Yan’s Junior Sister Qin Zhi, was imprisoned, insulted, and humiliated in your Lingxiao Sect. What do you have to say for yourself! Let me ask you, because of this, Qin Zhi lost her senses and suffered a severed arm. What do you have to say for yourself! Let me ask you, you sat high in the Xuan Hall, ignoring worldly affairs, allowing your disciples to deceive women and profit from it, causing thousands of families to be separated and suffer for life. What do you have to say for yourself!”
Wrong! Wrong!
Qin Zhi disappeared thirty years ago, how could she appear in the territory of his Lingxiao Sect?
What did his words of imprisonment, insult, loss of senses, and severed arm mean?
And when did the matter of profiting from women happen?
The Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect’s eyes showed panic. He immediately turned to search through the scrolls he had previously ignored.
Seeing his reaction, Peak Master Xiu Tian smiled again and said, “Since you have not received the challenge letter from Ao Tian Sect declaring war, then this old man doesn’t mind saying it again. Ao Tian Sect and Lingxiao Sect, it’s an unending battle!”
With that, he waved his sleeve and directly closed the communication talisman!
After Peak Master Xiu Tian arrived, Ming Zhaoshuang and the others explained the situation to him, reminding him that Wangyin Inn was a gathering point for transactions involving women, and that by investigating from here, they would surely find more.
Seeing that Peak Master Xiu Tian agreed to everything, Ming Zhaoshuang and the others said no more, and immediately took Qin Zhi and A Wei to Ao Tian Sect.
The Talisman Saint’s Secret Realm only had four or five days left.
“Both Changxiu and Shuang’er have accepted the assignments. Is it really not a problem for the envoy to be delayed for so long?”
Inside Ao Tian Sect, Qin Du looked at the Qingyun Envoy who had been living in Ao Tian Sect for nearly a month and felt a headache.
He had known long ago that if Talisman Saint Talismans appeared in the Lower Realm, the Qingyun Tower would inevitably investigate. It would be those children who would be in trouble, so he had sent Fei Changxiu and Ming Zhaoshuang away early.
But who knew that the envoy sent by Qingyun Tower would be so difficult to deal with, staying for a whole month like this.
The envoy naturally heard the implied meaning in Qin Du’s words. Qingyun Tower and Ao Tian Sect had worked together for a long time over the years, and he didn’t want to make things too difficult for Qin Du. He only said, “Talisman Saint Talismans are rare treasures in the Upper Cultivation World. What’s wrong with delaying for a bit for them?”
Qin Du said, “Talisman Saint Talismans are consumables. Once these juniors have used them up, they will be gone. There is no point in digging deeper, after all, no one can draw Talisman Saint Talismans.”
“No one?” The Qingyun Envoy snorted, “Frogs in a well, looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.”
Qin Du was not angered by being mocked by the Qingyun Envoy, and only said, “The key is that those juniors genuinely don’t know what Talisman Saint Talismans are. How old are they?”
The Qingyun Envoy said, “Do you know that there are many capable people in the Upper Cultivation World? With just one rune, they can draw it.”
Qin Du said, “No one can remember the Fu Sheng Rune.”
The Qingyun Envoy snorted.
“This Seat does not believe that your disciples can produce Talisman Saint Talismans without remembering the Fu Sheng Rune.”
The Qingyun Envoy continued, “Throughout the Upper and Lower Realms, everyone knows that Talisman Saint Talismans are the greatest treasures in the world. It is a pity that Fu Sheng Runes have always been monopolized by Rim of Dusk, and cannot be leaked to the outside world. I am here this time for the Fu Sheng Runes. Even if it’s just one, I will not have come in vain.”
“Since you know that the runes are monopolized by that thing called Rim of Dusk, why don’t you ask Rim of Dusk for them? Is it not possible to simply buy a talisman that is the same as a Fu Sheng Rune!”
At this moment, Qin Feilong, who had heard Qin Du and the Qingyun Envoy talking, rushed over and said angrily.
He had always respected his father and naturally would not allow others to humiliate him like this.
The Qingyun Envoy frowned slightly and looked at Qin Feilong, seemingly not believing that this half-grown youth would so recklessly speak to him.
The Qingyun Envoy sneered, “Ignorant and arrogant!”
Qin Du was about to apologize to the Qingyun Envoy for Qin Feilong’s rudeness when he heard Qin Feilong say coldly, “Whether it’s because you can’t buy the runes from Rim of Dusk, or because your own disciples are limited and can’t draw the runes from Rim of Dusk, you know best!”
“Nonsense!”
The Qingyun Envoy suddenly became enraged and grabbed Qin Feilong’s neck tightly with one hand.
He had already reached the Deity Transformation stage, so dealing with a mere Golden Core like Qin Feilong was extremely easy.
“Do you know how many Great Experts there are in the Upper Realm? Deity Transformation cultivators are everywhere, and Nascent Soul cultivators are like dogs. How can it be that with only a Nascent Soul cultivation, you can become a Sect Master, a powerful figure of a region? Do you know how many Talisman Arts Great Experts there are in the Upper Realm, drawing talismans like writing, and setting up formations like drawing pictures? How can it be that you are respected by the world just for drawing Mysterious Tier Talismans.”
“You Lower Realm people are all trash!”
