"Now that the existence of the Immortal Realm has been confirmed, our Tianyuan Sect must go there."

“But the passage in is now controlled by the Song Family Trading Company, and Junior Brother Qin has a rift with the Tianyuan Sect, so…” Xiang Chengyuan looked at Qin Xiuyang cryptically, his words unfinished, but everyone understood his meaning.

Xiang Hengguang looked worried: "No matter what, I will contact Song's Trading Company first. Even if I suffer a great injustice, I must get the qualification to enter."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sect Master."

"As expected, you can't manage a sect without a sect leader."

Seeing the elders and stewards flattering them, Qin Taiming and Qin Xiuyang responded coldly, their auras extremely icy.

Xiang Hengguang acted as if he hadn't seen it: "Junior Nephew Qin, since you caused the sect to lose the initiative, I, the sect master, now punish you to go to the Cliff of Repentance to repent. Do you accept this?"

Qin Xiuyang seemed not to hear, and Xiang Hengguang continued to say to Qin Taiming, "The natal sword is currently being kept by the Discipline Hall. Jianfeng will bear at least half of any future losses. Junior brother, you have no objection to this, right?"

Qin Taiming snorted coldly: "Xiuyang is also considering the sect's interests. Isn't this punishment too much, Senior Brother? After all, Xiuyang is a role model for all the disciples."

“Precisely because it is an example, you and your junior brother must show your attitude. Moreover, it is only Jianfeng that bears half of the loss, while the other half is shared by all the other peaks. Junior brother, are you unwilling to do this? Normally, Jianfeng has the most resources.”

When Xiang Hengguang said this, the other peaks were also full of resentment towards them. Did they think they could do whatever they wanted in the sect just because of their strength and talent? They usually got the best resources, and when they made mistakes, they had to share the blame. And they were still not happy about that?

Then an elder said sarcastically, "Those things that were used to bribe the Song family's business, Junior Nephew Qin could have easily taken a little bit from the secret realm he obtained from the North Sea Ice Plains, right?"

"I already said, I didn't take that secret realm," Qin Xiuyang denied coldly.

"Alright, don't we all know whether you took it or not? Even now, you still want to falsely accuse the Song Family Business?"

Qin Xiuyang was now unable to explain himself, so he simply turned and left, leaving behind a bold statement: "If you are scammed by the Song Family Trading Company, don't come looking for me."

"you……"

Those present in the hall today were all elders of the sect, and Qin Xiuyang's blatant disrespect towards them had greatly angered them.

Seeing his disciple leave, Qin Taiming didn't want to pay attention to these old guys. When Tianyuan Sect really encountered danger, they would know who was the sect's protector.

Seeing the master and disciple in such a state, Xiang Hengguang sighed heavily: "How about this, I will negotiate with the Song Clan Trading Company. Half of the losses from this incident will be deducted from Jianfeng's future share. We are all from the same sect, there is no need to be so fussy."

The more he said that, the angrier everyone became. Why could Qin Taiming and his disciple arbitrarily embarrass them, while they had to be magnanimous? Just because their cultivation and talent were a grade lower? But without the accumulation of sect resources in previous years, could Qin Taiming and Qin Xiuyang have advanced so quickly?

Hearing that the Tianyuan Sect had brought generous gifts, Song Xia did not personally receive them. At this time, it was not a bad thing to leave them hanging.

Moreover, other forces are urging her to officially enter the secret realm, so it's understandable that she's busy.

So Xiang Hengguang was turned away. Xiang Chengyuan remembered his conversation with Song Luo and used the communication talisman he had exchanged to send a message.

Song Xia tapped the table: "Now that we've found you, go and meet them. Bring them in."

"Are you really going to bring the Tianyuan Sect along?"

"Even if I don't meet them, with the methods of the Tianyuan Sect, I can still get a spot from other forces. My original intention was just to ignore them for a while, but I still want this windfall."

"Alright, I'll go and do Xiang Chengyuan some face then."

Song Luo put on a mask, and when he came out, the father and son finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Junior Brother Song, thank you for coming out to see me at this time."

"You're too kind, Senior Brother. I know the purpose of your visit."

He said this while holding a cup of tea, making Xiang Chengyuan anxious.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I've convinced my mother, but she has made one request."

"Just tell me what your requirements are."

“We can’t let Qin Xiuyang and Qin Taiming go. You all know that Qin Xiuyang from your Tianyuan Sect has been causing trouble for our Song Family Merchants recently. My mother is really annoyed by him, and she also dislikes his master, so…”

"I have already punished them," Xiang Hengguang promised. "I assure you that they, master and disciple, will not appear on this trip."

Song Luo's smile deepened: "In that case, it wasn't in vain that I persuaded my mother, the sect leader, and my senior brother to come with me."

Upon entering the reception room, Xiang Hengguang did not immediately show sincerity, but instead asked Song Xia, "Although I am already certain, I still want to see the existence of the secret realm with my own eyes."

"Is this enough to convince the sect leader?" Song Xia took out a celestial herb, which was still very fresh and carried a distinct aura of immortality.

Xiang Hengguang's breathing became rapid; it seemed he had indeed made the right decision this time.

"May I ask, Mr. Song, when shall we depart?"

“Each sect will send twenty people, with no limit on cultivation level. They will depart in three days. Fortunately, Sect Leader Xiang arrived in time, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to agree even if I wanted to.”

Xiang Hengguang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Thank goodness... thank goodness...

"Remember, I don't want to see anyone I don't want to see then, otherwise no one will be able to enter that secret realm. Don't blame me for not warning you beforehand."

"Don't worry, Mr. Song, I will absolutely not allow them, master and disciple, to participate in this operation."

In fact, Xiang Hengguang genuinely didn't want to go either. Every time, Qin Taiming and Qin Xiuyang took advantage of the situation. This time, he had a good reason to make them not go. Anyway, it was Song's Business Group's request, not his stinginess as the sect leader.

Go back and inform Hengguang of the news, and then quickly select talents from each peak.

"Master, are we really not going?"

Qin Taiming sneered: "No one can stop us from trying to enter the Immortal Realm. Since it is an unclaimed realm, then whoever can take it will have it."

Qin Xiuyang frowned upon hearing this: "But my natal spirit sword is still in the Discipline Hall. If I rashly take it back, I'm afraid I'll alert the enemy."

Qin Taiming rebuked him: "You can't fight without that sword?"

Qin Xiuyang quickly lowered his head: "Master, it is your disciple's stupidity."

On the other side, Song Xia had also prepared for Qin Taiming and Qin Xiuyang to secretly follow them. She wasn't afraid of them coming; she was just afraid they wouldn't come.

Even Qin Xiuyang, who later achieved great success in his cultivation, almost perished inside this secret realm. Now that Qin Xiuyang's cultivation is still insufficient, he certainly cannot reach the innermost part. So, will Qin Taiming, whose luck is slightly worse than his, be so lucky?

Unable to obtain the inheritance, Qin Taiming was bound to be unwilling, after all, he was the number one sword cultivator in the world. But if he forced his way in, well, he would be in for a lot of trouble. The immortal who left behind the secret realm was no benevolent person.
