Chapter 620: Operation Broken Sword: Prelude
A strange phenomenon has appeared in many fairy cities along the coastal areas.
Xunfeng Xianzong, a sect that had collapsed in the eyes of everyone, their industries in various Xianchengs were actually safe and sound, and those Xiancheng forces that were usually as fierce as phoenixes, wolves and hungry tigers actually changed to a vegetarian diet! This also made many small families and small forces who wanted to think of some crooked ideas and take advantage of small gains look confused.
However, although they were confused, they were not stupid. Although they didn't know the reason, they would naturally hide the sharp blades in their hands if the bosses didn't make any moves.
At this time, Leng Yuanzhou, with the token given by the sect leader, had already arrived at the foot of the mountain of Jinghu Lake. He was seriously injured and his essence was severely depleted. If it weren't for the help of a cultivator he had a good relationship with before, he really wouldn't have been able to reach Jinghu Lake. Behind him at this time were three cultivators at the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage.
They had already received news about what the Sword Sect had done. Although they were somewhat surprised that Leng Yuanzhou was not dead and escaped, they were still willing to lend a hand when they saw that there were no pursuers.
There was no other reason. These people had participated in the reconstruction ceremony of Xunfeng Immortal Sect. Although they were not on the top of the mountain at that time, they also knew the situation at that time. Venerable Ping'an of Jinghu was able to defeat ten people alone and overwhelm the aggressive Sword Sect.
From that moment on, they actually had the answer in their hearts. The Xunfeng Immortal Sect was actually a force that Jinghu himself had supported.
Even though they brought healing pills, third and fourth level spiritual objects, and showed concern for Leng Yuanzhou along the way, it actually didn't matter whether Leng Yuanzhou lived or died.
All they have in their eyes is merging together to become Venerables. They are not very interested in Xunfeng Xianzong's industries such as Dantang, at least not as much as the cultivators in their own sect or family are interested in.
What they are more interested in is what Jinghu will do and how it will deal with the Sword Sect. The second most important thing for them is whether the Xunfeng Immortal Sect will support another force now that it is gone!
According to Jinghu's previous support for Xunfeng Immortal Sect, it gave a place for Jinghu to break through to the Venerable level!
Compared to the Dan Hall, breaking through to the Venerable level is what these people want to see!
Following the twists and turns of the mountain road, these monks came to Jinghu, this mysterious place, for the first time.
When they first saw the gigantic lotus and the mirror-like lake, they were still a little shocked, especially the spiritual energy, which made them feel as if they had returned to their dreams and reached the second and third order spiritual veins.
A young monk wearing a black robe with simple golden patterns was standing at the tip of one of the giant petals, leaning against a huge white tiger monster, drinking tea facing the distance.
Jinghu Lake was very quiet, as if there were only him and the tiger, unlike the spiritual farmers tending to flowers and plants they saw on the way up the mountain.
"Why did you come to see me?" The voice was soft, but it traveled far.
"I am Leng Yuanzhou, a monk from Xunfeng Immortal Sect. I am honored to meet Venerable Ping'an." Leng Yuanzhou knelt down beneath the flower petals, holding a golden token high in his hands.
Several people at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm also bowed their heads but did not kneel. Now is not the right time, and not everyone is qualified to kneel. This is not a mortal dynasty, where everyone must kneel and pay homage when seeing the emperor. This is a world of cultivation, and if you are not that close, you are not qualified to kneel!
"Get up and speak!"
"Venerable Ping'an, please make a decision for our Xunfeng Immortal Sect. I am the only cultivator who has returned from the Infinite Sea! As soon as we set foot inland, we were attacked by the Lingxiao Sword Sect's unethical and despicable sneak attack! In order to cover our departure, the leader of the Gudu Wuhen Sect died under the sword of the evil thief. Please, Venerable Ping'an, make a decision for us!"
The token slowly flew up and was caught in Cheng Ping'an's hand. At this time, he was already standing on the edge of the petals and played with the token twice. "Back then, I said that I would do three things for your Xunfeng Immortal Sect. This is the second one!"
"Go to the alchemy room on the mountainside to find Ma Fanyang and ask for some elixirs. Use them to repair your essence, and then follow me to the Sword Sect."
After saying that, Cheng Ping'an threw out a small lotus pod in his hand. This was an imperfect product of the purple lotus. It was only level five, but it did not hinder its ability to replenish its origin.
After Leng Yuanzhou expressed his gratitude, he took the order and left, leaving only these few top cultivators.
"Go and gather all the cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage to go to the Sword Sect together. This time I will grant you a chance to become a Venerable."
Cheng Ping'an knew very well why these people came, so he went straight to the point.
As for what they think and do, that is their own business. No one can fleece him without paying any price. Even under the nose of the Taoist master of the secret realm, he has to grab a handful of spiritual materials to feel balanced.
With the secret dissemination of the Dan Halls throughout the major immortal cities in the cultivation world, the news that the Lingxiao Sword Sect had suffered a severe blow overseas spread like wildfire, and there was also a rumor that the Sword Sect would eliminate all those forces that emerged in order to maintain its own position.
These false news were meant for the small and medium-sized forces, but the major sects naturally knew the details. The Lingxiao Sword Sect was probably finished, and the power to destroy the Xunfeng Immortal Sect was just the last struggle.
What about Mirror Lake? How to build Mirror Lake?
You know, no one knows what happened in the end in the inland sea. When they left, Zhang Tianyuan was still there. He is a top combat force.
What is Cheng Ping'an doing now? He is stroking the white-haired tiger. He is not waiting for Leng Yuanzhou to recover, nor is he waiting for those ambitious peak-level cultivators to gather enough manpower. He is waiting for the support of the main body.
This time, with the loss of Zhang Tianyuan, Youli, the two venerable clones, and Gudu Wuhen, the incarnation of the spirit, the power of Jinghu suddenly became weak. Although it is not impossible for Cheng Pingan to do it alone, it would be a bit inconvenient for him to do things.
Two new clones of the Venerable have already been created, thanks to Zi Lian's hard work. Otherwise, some forces in Jinghu might have had some evil intentions this time.
The eldest and second in command were both defeated and suffered heavy losses. Can I take this opportunity to kill them together and take over?
There must be a force with such an idea, but we just don't know who it is. Now with the addition of two clones, Jinghu is as stable as a rock. Even Cheng Ping'an has modified his plan to attack the Sword Sect. It doesn't matter if he attacks one of the Sword Sect members, or a few more with ambitions.
Anyway, the bosses are completely unable to take care of the lower-level matters now, so let's integrate them more thoroughly.
Either kneel down and beg for food, or lie down and die.
Cheng Ping'an plans to create a big scene in the Sword Sect, and then establish the absolute dominance of Jinghu in one fell swoop, plunder the origin of the cultivation world as an emergency, and then use the momentum to break through to the realm of great power!
He also has a chance to get involved in the ten-thousand-year war between the old guys!
