For Lin Xiuyuan, the retreat plan was almost complete!
But for some people, this is naturally a time when they can't sit still!
It's been too long.
This is not the outcome that the people behind the scenes wanted.
On this day, only Ku Xuan Sanren and two others gathered in the main hall, waiting for a long time, while all other irrelevant people were dismissed.
A graceful figure walked in first, followed by three black-robed men whose auras were no weaker than theirs, and perhaps even stronger.
Ku Xuan and the other two immediately adopted respectful expressions and bowed in unison, saying:
"Greetings, Princess Hongshang!"
...
The leader, dressed in black, lifted his hat, revealing a fair and delicate face.
Princess Hongshang's expression was cold as she looked indifferently at the three respectful figures before her. Her red lips parted slightly, "You should know why I've come here. Tell me, why has this matter been delayed for so long?!"
"You've gathered so many people and given so many spiritual items, and this is the result you've achieved?"
His tone contained a hint of anger and accusation!
Ku Xuan Sanren smiled awkwardly, naturally knowing where the other party's anger came from.
After all, this matter involves the royal family and has far-reaching implications.
The longer the time drags on, the greater the risk of Princess Hongshang being exposed.
Since most of the spiritual items in the Loose Cultivator Alliance are now provided by Princess Hongshang, it will be easier to expose clues and be traced back to Princess Hongshang if this goes on for too long!
But this was a last resort. With the Yunxiao Sect's deep foundation, how could it be taken down so easily?
With a forced smile, Ku Xuan Sanren explained, "Princess, please calm your anger. We did try to speed things up. Not long ago, we sent out a separate force to attack the rear of the Yunxiao Sect, but..."
Upon hearing this, Princess Hongshang frowned and said without hesitation, "Impossible. According to reliable intelligence, the chief seed only brought so few people. How could there be any hidden forces?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Hongshang began to waver.
According to what she said, with the three peak Purple Mansion cultivators in the Cloud Palace still not making a move, the only person with such power to take action is Lin Xiuyuan.
After all, the other party once possessed unparalleled combat power during the Foundation Establishment stage!
Now, it is also possible to reach that level.
However, even having reached this level, with cultivation only at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm, how could he possibly have crossed two major realms to kill three late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators, and so many other Purple Mansion cultivators...?
It's no wonder that Princess Hongshang's thoughts quickly wavered.
If it really was that top seed who made the move, then it would be simply unbelievable.
How could there be such a monstrous person?
Even the top geniuses of the Five Elements Sect and the Four Great Demonic Paths might not be able to achieve such a feat!
"Perhaps there's a problem with the intelligence; the other side has hidden forces... or perhaps the Jade Cauldron Pill Sect or the Heavenly Sword Sect has come to our aid!!"
Princess Hongshang thought to herself that it was not the result of Lin Xiuyuan's actions at all; it was too unbelievable!
With this thought in mind, he stopped thinking and continued to pressure Ku Xuan and the other two:
"No matter what, you still have the upper hand. If you can't resolve this quickly and continue to drag things out, don't blame me for slacking off too."
Seeing this, Ku Xuan Sanren smiled helplessly and could only nod in agreement.
Daoist Youqing also smiled and said, "Since the princess has said so, then we will do our best."
Seeing this, Xue Yuanzi was dissatisfied and his temper was hard to suppress. He said directly, "But given the situation, what better way is there? We don't even know who the fourth peak Purple Mansion cultivator of the Cloud Soaring Sect is. Is it one or two? If we launch a direct attack, are we going to risk our lives to finish it off?"
"Don't forget how you built all of this! Do you want me to take it all back?"
Princess Hongshang's expression turned cold as she spoke in an icy tone, her eyes flashing with coldness as she looked indifferently at Xue Yuanzi.
Xue Yuanzi's expression stiffened. He wanted to say something, but the two people beside him were staring at him frantically, so he finally avoided their gazes and remained silent.
His temperament is somewhat extreme due to his cultivation method, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. He is well aware of the consequences of offending Princess Hongshang at this moment.
This alliance of independent cultivators, once established, will likely crumble in an instant.
Even whether he can leave this hall today is still uncertain.
Princess Hongshang snorted coldly, then turned around, took a step forward, and left behind a sentence, saying: "If I do not see any results within a few days, then you should know the consequences."
After saying that, Princess Hongshang walked straight out of the hall.
But before she could cross the threshold...
The hermit behind her, Ku Xuan, seemed to have received some information from the communication jade slip. After a moment of surprise, his face lit up with joy. He quickly called out to the departing Princess Hongshang, saying:
"Princess, please wait a moment, there is good news!"
"kindness?"
Princess Hongshang turned to look at Kuxuan Sanren, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She wondered what good news could make him so surprised.
"The Cloud Soaring Sect has retreated, hahaha."
Ku Xuan Sanren laughed.
Upon hearing this, the two people standing nearby also smiled.
Daoist Youqing couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehe, it seems they couldn't hold on any longer, otherwise they wouldn't have suddenly retreated. Well, that's good, we've achieved our goal! We'll take advantage of this to pursue them all the way and seize all their resource areas. If they don't leave Fengxia Mountain in the end, then they'll have no choice but to return to their sect."
