After bringing Guan Zhan out of Cuizhu Peak, Qiu Changtian saw that he still looked dead and hopeless, so he wanted to persuade him to give up his obsession.

However, if you think about it carefully, there is a saying that goes "If you don't know their suffering, don't advise them to do good."

To be fair, if I encountered a similar thing, and someone came out to persuade me to "lay down my butcher knife" and "become a Buddha right away", I would definitely send him to heaven first.

"Shushan won't make things difficult for you any more." Qiu Changtian sighed and said, "Junior brother, you should go back to Kunlun first."

"Oh, just in case, don't go through the plateau. Take a detour through Guanzhong and Qishan."

"Yes." Guan Zhan nodded silently, then flew away on his sword without saying a word.

Qiu Changtian returned to his residence in Shushan and told Xu Yinglian what happened.

Xu Yinglian was shocked after hearing this, and then he also sighed:

"I never thought that such a thing would happen... But in this case, our Tiannan Xu family also has a lot of secrets. I think most powerful families are bound to have a few morally corrupt scums."

Hearing Xu Yinglian call Elder Lengquan a "scum", Qiu Changtian also echoed him.

In fact, although he did not approve of the other party's behavior, he could understand why the other party could do such a thing - to put it bluntly, it was because in the other party's mind, there were people more important than his wife and children.

Well, if that’s the case, maybe after I betray Kunlun in the future, my junior sister will call me a “morally corrupt scum” with hatred on her face.

Thinking of this, Qiu Changtian felt inexplicably depressed and sad.

However, he was doing this to repair the sky and save the world, which was completely different from Elder Lengquan who killed his entire family for his own spiritual practice!

Qiu Changtian spent some time to prepare himself mentally, and then he got down to business:

"Junior sister, I don't think this trip to the Golden Palace Secret Realm will be too smooth - we also have to be on guard against the Demon Cult's actions."

"Brother, are you worried that the Demon Cult will know about this?" Xu Yinglian frowned and asked, "Looking at Shushan's actions this time, it is obvious that they are extremely cautious in keeping secrets. Even you and I, as representatives of Kunlun's allies, don't know the whereabouts of the Golden Palace Secret Realm. How can the Demon Cult know?"

Who knows where the Yin Gui Dao got the information from...Qiu Changtian couldn't explain it either, so he just shook his head and said:

"In any case, it's better to be careful."

Although Xu Yinglian didn't understand why, since her husband said so, she thought it was "no big deal if you're careful" and became secretly on guard.

On the day designated by the head of Yujing, Qiu Changtian, Xu Yinglian and Luo Baiyuan arrived at the Tianji Square on the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain.

Turning around, he saw that besides a few Shushan elders who led the team, there were about ten other people standing here, all of whom were Jindan Zhenren with outstanding potential from the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Sect.

Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu from Shushan, Luo Yan and Shi Liuli from Penglai were all on the list, which made Qiu Changtian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The Three Pure Ones of the orthodox religion selected the top masters of the Jindan generation. My wives and I together account for half of the number.

It's outrageous!

When almost everyone had gathered, the head of Yujing Sect took out a treasure ship, threw it into the air, and it immediately became a hundred feet long. He told all the orthodox Jindan masters to get on board.

Qiu Changtian took a closer look and found that it was actually a magic weapon produced by Tiangong Workshop. Many parts of its craftsmanship were in the style of Elder Shiding, which was truly impressive.

As the treasure ship was sailing, he quietly counted the number of people again: there were twelve Golden Elixir True Immortals, including three from Kunlun, six from Shushan, and three from Penglai.

On Kunlun's side, there were Senior Sister Luo, myself, and Junior Sister Xu.

On the Penglai side, in addition to Luo Yan and Shi Liuli, there was also a Zhenren named Tianlan, who was at the Youwei stage of the Golden Core Realm and specialized in the art of talismans. Although Luo Yan was not familiar with her, he recognized that she was about to reach the stage of forming an infant.

Among the six people from Shushan, in addition to Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu, there are four other Golden Elixir True Immortals: Jinghua, Miaodan, Shiyuan and Tianqi.

Among them, Zhenren Jinghua has the highest cultivation level, who is also at the Youwei Stage of the Golden Core Realm, and he has dealt with this person before - when the Foundation Establishment Realm entered the Demon Locking Tower in the past, it was this Zhenren Jindan who was in charge of leading the team. He was a direct descendant of the Yujing Sect Leader.

From this point of view, the principle of team composition is quite clear:

Whether it is Kunlun, Shushan or Penglai, they all sent out the strongest Youwei-level cultivator in the Jindan realm to lead the team.

In other words, the Golden Palace Secret Realm most likely does not allow cultivators other than the Golden Core Realm to enter, which is why there is such a team configuration.

Qiu Changtian was thinking secretly, and he saw that the cultivators from the three sects were gathered in groups, with no intention of communicating or chatting with each other.

This is a bit strange, because it is rare for the monks of the three sects to gather openly. It is normal for them to get close to each other in such occasions.

Why are they all so vigilant? Could it be that the three sects are competing with each other in the Golden Palace Secret Realm?

Well, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

Due to concerns about the existence of the Demon Sect's hidden agents, the monks of the three sects were strictly ordered by their superiors not to exchange information with each other, which is why this clear-cut phenomenon occurred...

"Well." Luo Baiyuan came to his side and asked in a low voice, "Junior Brother Chang Geng, aren't you going to stop it?"

"Ah?" Qiu Changtian was startled when he heard this, "Stop what?"

"It's Junior Sister Qiongying and True Man Jiangxiao." Luo Baiyuan pointed quietly.

Qiu Changtian looked carefully and saw Xu Yinglian standing behind him, but he didn't even look at him. He just stared at An Zhisu opposite him with a cold and sharp look.

An Zhisu on the opposite side held the sword in both hands and looked back at her with a cold expression, also without blinking - Ling Yunpo next to her pulled her sleeve speechlessly, as if trying to persuade her, but it seemed to be of no use.

The tense atmosphere between the two men was so intense that other monks sensed something was wrong and did not dare to approach them for fear of being involved in the conflict.

"Hey!" Qiu Changtian quickly lowered his voice, "Junior sister, what are you doing!"

"Don't argue." Xu Yinglian continued to stare at An Zhisu, squeezing out a voice from between his teeth, "She will lose soon."

ah?

Are you playing the game of "whoever looks away first loses"? Isn't that embarrassing?

Although he also didn't want to get involved in such a childish war, Qiu Changtian was Xu Yinglian's Taoist partner after all, and he couldn't just sit back and watch his wife and the people from Shushan fight each other - it would be troublesome if the head of Yujing came out and saw it.

So he was about to ignore the consequences and forcibly pull Junior Sister Xu away, but suddenly he saw An Zhisu opposite him snorted and turned her head away.

But it was Shi Liuli who was talking to her nearby, so she had no choice but to stop looking at him.

Well done, Miss Shi!

Qiu Changtian then breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the huge mountain range slowly approaching in the distance ahead of the treasure ship.

Xihua Mountain is the second highest mountain in China, second only to Kunlun Pillar of Heaven. Legend has it that in ancient times, the Queen Mother of the West built a palace here, so the mountain was once named "Kunlun".

But later the name Kunlun was taken away by the mountains further north, and the popularity of Xihua Mountain quickly declined.

In addition, the geographical location is so remote that no one may visit for tens of thousands of years.

If the Golden Palace Secret Realm is here...

Qiu Changtian held his breath and looked up at the sky above Xihua Mountain.

However, apart from the clear blue sky, there was no sign of any solid outline.
