Dongxian answered decisively.
However, none of the five people present thought that the Cangwu Sect’s top leaders made the decision on a whim.
There must be undercurrents flowing that they have not seen.
Kong Ju looked at Dong Xian cautiously and asked tentatively, "Master, what tricks do you have? Let us know in advance so we can be prepared."
"There is no need for any preparation. The five of you just need to complete your tasks. The sect will take care of the rest." Dongxian answered the questions of Kong Ju and the other four one by one. His response was as simple and clear as his speaking style.
"Yes!" Kong Ju responded.
Dongxian did not respond directly to him, but he still understood the underlying meaning of this sentence.
Huangfu Ying did have a backup plan, but he had no intention of putting the five inner disciples in danger.
This made Kong Ju breathe a sigh of relief.
Dong Xian informed the five people at the scene of the next specific plan through voice transmission.
Kong Ju and others nodded silently.
After an incense stick of time had passed, Kong Ju and the other four quietly left the cabin.
During this process, except Kong Ju and his five companions and Dong Xian, there was no one else in the cabin, not even He Xijin came in.
"Senior Brother Shangguan and I are the inner disciples at the top of the Cangwu Sect's Hidden Dragon Ranking."
"Huangfu Wuqin, Zong Changsong, and Zhai Qingning are three more ascenders."
"This plan to kill Lingxi was tailor-made for us."
Walking out of the cabin, Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou stood on the edge of the deck, looking at the rapidly receding mountains below with complicated expressions.
"Why is Boss Huangfu so eager to kill Lingxi?"
"Is it because of Han Dong'er's jade slip?"
This was the only reason Kong Ju could think of.
What exactly did the jade slip say? Kong Ju suddenly wanted to know.
However, Huangfu Ying did not even tell Huangfu Wuqin about this information, so he definitely had no chance of knowing it.
"Poor Lingxi, you've been targeted by my master, that old fox. It's your bad luck this time." Kong Ju silently mourned for Lingxi.
Huangfu Wuqin had walked to Kong Ju's side at some point, and he and Shangguan Yuzhou stood on Kong Ju's left and right.
Her face looked relaxed, and she didn't feel the solemnity in the air at all.
Instead, he looked at Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou with a faint smile.
"It's okay, Senior Sister will protect you."
Seeing Huangfu Wuqin still wanting to tease him at this time, Kong Ju smiled bitterly: "Senior Sister Huangfu, you are really generous."
"How else can it be said, it's Senior Sister Huangfu!" This sentence was said by Shangguan Yuzhou.
Ever since Kong Ju started calling Huangfu Wuqin "Senior Sister", Shangguan Yuzhou changed her words decisively without feeling embarrassed at all.
Kong Ju glanced at Shangguan Yuzhou, who looked calm and had no worry on his face.
Different from Huangfu Wuqin's calmness, Shangguan Yuzhou's peace is heartless and he has no idea what fear is.
Huangfu Wuqin's indifference reflects his absolute confidence in his own abilities.
"Am I the only one who is worried?" Seeing that the two were not affected by the upcoming bloody storm, Kong Ju simply threw his thoughts to the back of his mind and said to them shamelessly: "Okay, I'll ask Senior Brother Shangguan and Senior Sister Huangfu to take care of me."
"Stop it, you want to hide again!" Huangfu Wuqin glared at him.
"Haha!" Shangguan Yuzhou was amused by the two and laughed heartily on the deck.
The other inner disciples had no idea what Kong Ju and the other four had experienced in the cabin in just half an hour.
Seeing the harmonious atmosphere on the deck, everyone smiled.
With Huangfu Wuqin, who was ranked second on the Hidden Dragon List, accompanying them, they were full of confidence in this trip to Qinghu blessed land.
However, Zong Changsong and Zhai Qingning looked at the cheerful atmosphere in which Kong Ju and the other two were talking, and they looked at each other with bitter smiles in their eyes.
"I really admire Junior Sister Qinqin's elegance." Zhai Qingning was dressed in plain clothes, appearing extremely low-key, with a hint of worry on her face as she spoke.
"Junior Sister Qingning also has an extraordinary demeanor." Zong Changsong smiled at Zhai Qingning.
"Senior Brother Changsong, can you be serious?" Zhai Qingning rubbed his brows with a headache.
"Alas, you want me to be like my master!!" Zong Changsong disagreed and muttered, "How boring."
The area east of Wudong, close to the Endless Sea.
It is called Qingzhou by the monks of Wudong. The entire province has relatively little land, and more than 90% of it is water.
It borders the Endless Sea and is the place where all the water in Wudong converges. Millions of tributaries come from all directions of the earth and first flow into Qinghu Lake.
Then it poured into the Endless Sea from the outlet of Qing Lake near the Endless Sea.
Qinghu Lake is vast, stretching for thousands of miles and covering nearly half the area of a state.
After a day of sailing, the giant spirit boat of the Cangwu sect finally arrived at the lake before nightfall.
Kong Ju poked his head out from the giant boat and, with the help of the remaining light in the sky, looked at the vast blue waves below.
Above such a vast lake, there is almost no land visible around it, and all you can see is mountains and water.
Occasionally, a monster in the lake would poke its head out of the water, look at the giant boat floating away overhead, show a look of fear, and then sink back to the bottom of the lake.
While the giant boat was sailing, it encountered a monster that was almost as big as a mountain. It jumped out of the lake and briefly bathed in the sunset.
Kong Ju speculated that even if the monster was not Zhang Sheng, it was probably not far from Zhang Sheng.
Facts have proved that in the Qinghu area, human cultivators have not yet penetrated as deeply as the monsters in the lake.
Due to its huge volume of water, Qinghu Lake has almost become a gathering place for water-based monsters.
Fortunately, the monster seemed to sense that there was a dangerous presence on the giant boat.
It just swam around the giant boat once before sinking to the bottom of the lake, leaving no trace.
"If Qinghu Lake is like this, there must be more monsters in the Endless Sea, and they are more ferocious." Looking at the place where the giant beast disappeared, with the rippling lake surface still left, Kong Ju was secretly amazed.
"Most of the monsters that are still active in Qinghu Lake today are descendants of the dragon that died in Qinghu Lake that year."
Huangfu Wuqin also poked his head out from the deck at this time, curling his pretty mouth, as if he was not surprised by monsters of that size, and he even had the leisure to explain to Kong Ju:
"I can't guarantee the monsters in the Endless Sea, but as long as you don't actively provoke them, the monsters in the Green Lake will rarely attack people."
Kong Ju tilted his head to look at Huangfu Wuqin and asked curiously, "Did the Wudong factions have an agreement with them?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"No, according to your leader, the main reason is that the fallen dragon got along well with the monks of Wudong. For so many years, no force has been able to break this balance."
"After all, no one knows how many palm-born monster kings there are in this Qinghu Lake!"
Huangfu Wuqin tilted his head to think for a moment, then added: "The resources in this Qinghu Lake are also very rich. There is no shortage of spiritual medicines and meat. The monsters in it have no need to attack the monks."
"But that may not be the case if you get close to the waters they rule."
Kong Ju nodded quickly: "I understand, a demon beast, no matter how intelligent it is, is still just a beast, with territorial awareness engraved in its bones."
Speaking of this, Kong Ju thought of Dapeng who was left in the inner gate of Wudong.
It completely regards the Cangwu Sect as its own territory.
The giant boat traveled very fast, and soon after traveling hundreds of miles, it arrived at the center of the lake.
There is an island in the middle of the lake that is nearly tens of miles long and wide, standing alone on the water.
There are towering buildings and courtyards on the island, as well as markets and various spiritual fields and medicinal gardens.
Many monks gathered on the island, turning this area into a gathering place for monks.
The giant boat finally landed on an open space on the cliff near the water's edge of the island.
Behind the open space is a pavilion with the flag of the Cangwu Sect flying high.
People got off the giant boat one after another, including Kong Ju. The five people who participated in Huangfu Ying's designated plan to ambush and kill Ling Xi naturally traveled together.
Shangguan Yuzhou looked at the extremely luxurious building and exclaimed in amazement: "Our Cangwu Sect is indeed one of the three major sects in Wudong. It even has a branch here."
Kong Ju seemed calm, looking towards the depths of the island, and said softly, "Just now I saw the emblems of Dingyue Sect and Quejin Sect on the giant boat."
"It is estimated that all the prominent sects in Wudong have branches here."
After all, since it concerns the Qinghu blessed land, the actions of the various factions in Wudong are reasonable.
"I just don't know where the entrance to Qinghu blessed land is. All we've seen along the way is nothing but water. We haven't seen any signs of blessed land."
"It's almost there. The opening of Qinghu blessed land has a time limit, and it's only a few days away." Huangfu Wuqin stretched out her slender fingers, pointed at the lake, and explained in a beautiful voice: "You can go to the market on the island these days. There are many specialties of Qinghu, and there are also many spiritual objects that are not available in the outside world."
Huangfu Wuqin's words made Zong Changsong and Shangguan Yuzhou's eyes light up, and they seemed very interested.
On the other hand, Kong Ju and Zhai Qingning seemed to be lacking interest.
Kong Ju quickly waved his hands and prevaricated, "No, you guys go ahead, I need to conserve my energy!"
In fact, he was afraid of running into people from Dingyue Sect on the island. When the enemies met, they would be extremely jealous of each other and might even start a fight.
"I won't go either. I'll go back to the branch to refine some formation flags. They will be useful when I get to Qinghu blessed land." Zhai Qingning looked like the kind of cultivator who was devoted to hard work, and he was not interested in Huangfu Wuqin's suggestion.
It seemed that the five men were about to split into two groups.
Dong Xian's cold and harsh voice suddenly entered the ears of the five people from the giant spirit boat.
"Before the Qinghu blessed land is opened, it's best for the five of you to stay inside."
Having said that, Dongxian added one more sentence with emphasis.
"Especially Qinqin and Kongju."
This time Kong Ju and his four companions came with a mission that was of great importance and they obviously could not afford to make any mistakes.
Kong Ju naturally had no objection.
"I know!" Huangfu Wuqin responded casually, and walked into the pavilion without caring whether Dongxian heard it or not. At the same time, her lazy voice came: "I want to sleep, don't disturb me!"
"Then I'll take my leave first." Zhai Qingning entered the pavilion after Huangfu Wuqin.
The three remaining men, Kong Ju, Dong Xian and Zong Changsong, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Dongxian's meaning was very clear. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, the five of them could not go anywhere during the time when the blessed land was opened.
"This is the safest way." Kong Ju felt that Dong Xian's decision was quite correct.
But how should I kill time during this period? I definitely can't concentrate on cultivation. Kong Ju had already prepared everything he needed when he was in Cangwu Sect.
Shangguan Yuzhou looked at Kong Ju and Zong Changsong and suggested, "Wine?"
Zong Changsong waved his hand and said, "Good!"
"Drink! How are you going to get through this period without drinking?" Kong Ju responded, shaking his head, and walked towards the pavilion.
