The spirit stones and magical treasures in front of Feng Qingshui were not treasures, but hot potatoes.
If he takes it, he will become Han Feng's accomplice.
When the Lingzhou sect comes to settle accounts, he won't be able to escape.
But if we send them back, we'll have to wait for the sects from Lingzhou to come.
As long as he surrenders quickly enough, he can produce proof that he has never received anything from Han Feng.
He would be able to save his life during the major purges at Taiqing Sect and other sects.
Just as Feng Qingshui was hesitating, someone came from outside to report that Liu Ruyan was looking for him.
He temporarily put these things away and prepared to go outside to see Liu Ruyan.
The Hengshan Sect and the Zhengqi Sect have always had a good relationship. Back then, the immortal island where the Hengshan Sect was located was occupied.
It was the Righteous Qi Sect that made room for the Hengshan Sect to temporarily reside there. At that time, Feng Qingshui even persuaded Liu Ruyan.
The gist is that the Ruyi Sect of Lingzhou is powerful, so we should just give them a mountain gate as long as everyone is safe.
However, Liu Ruyan did not agree. Later, she not only failed to reclaim the Immortal Island, but was also captured by the Ruyi Sect.
Many of the remaining disciples of the Hengshan Sect still reside in the Zhengqi Sect.
Liu Ruyan's purpose in finding him was most likely related to the disciples of Hengshan Sect.
Inside a side hall.
After treatment, the scars on Liu Ruyan's face have been healed.
Her purple palace dress, exquisitely beautiful face, and perfectly captivating figure made it impossible for anyone to look away.
Compared to some younger female cultivators, she possessed a more mature and authoritative air about her.
Otherwise, Liu Hengyu wouldn't have been able to pick out Liu Ruyan from among so many people at a glance.
If it weren't for his status as a disciple of the Taiqing Sect, they might have openly snatched him away.
"Senior Feng, the reason I've come to see you this time is to take away the disciples of my Hengshan Sect." Liu Ruyan didn't waste any more words.
“No problem, you can take it with you anytime.” Feng Qingshui nodded in agreement.
"Thank you very much, Senior Feng. I am deeply grateful and will definitely repay your kindness in the future."
"Let's not talk about repaying the debt of gratitude for now. Your Hengshan Sect is already in a difficult situation. Have you thought about what your plans are for the future?"
"I've made up my mind. I'm going to join Senior Han's Tiannan Cultivation Alliance and uphold justice in Tiannan in the future."
"Your life was saved by Old Demon Han, but if you don't think about yourself, the disciples of Hengshan Sect should think about it too. Old Demon Han is currently enjoying great success, but you should know that it's because the natural barrier hasn't disappeared."
Feng Qingshui hurriedly advised, "If the natural barrier disappears, all sects will flood into Tiannan without restraint, and even Old Demon Han himself will be in danger."
"Senior Feng, how could you have such thoughts? Senior Han has been resisting the Lingzhou sects for us all along. If it weren't for him, do you think Tiannan would have such an environment?" Liu Ruyan's voice was clearly displeased.
"I'm just reminding you, it's fine if you really join, but don't take it too seriously, otherwise when the major sects like Taiqing Sect come to settle scores, it will be difficult to save your life," Feng Qingshui advised again.
"I think we shouldn't have these unrealistic ideas. If even minor sects like Ruyi Sect treat us like this, then Taiqing Sect is definitely more ruthless than Ruyi Sect when it gets going."
"The nature of the situation is different. If you had listened to me back then and handed over the Immortal Island, none of this would have happened."
"You mean Ruyi Sect is right, and everything is my fault? I was wrong to seize the Immortal Island?"
That's not what I meant.
Feng Qingshui blushed with embarrassment, not because Liu Ruyan was particularly sharp-tongued.
Rather, he himself felt he was in the wrong, but he also felt that Lingzhou was a behemoth that Tiannan could not resist at all.
"My Righteous Qi Sect and Hengshan Sect have been on good terms for generations. I'll be frank with some things. Old Demon Han doesn't really want to help us. He's mainly after our spirit stones. We're just using each other."
Feng Qingshui kept glancing around, afraid that Han Feng might pop out from some corner.
“Senior Feng, I always thought you were the leading figure in the cultivation world of Tiannan, but today you have disappointed me greatly. I ask you, besides asking for spirit stones, what else has Senior Han done for you?”
"There really isn't one."
"Then let me ask you another question: if Senior Han were gone, do you think your fate and that of the Righteous Qi Sect would be better than that of my Hengshan Sect?"
No.
"Then it's settled. Anyway, I'm going to follow Senior Han. We can't work together if we're on different paths. Don't call Senior Han 'Old Demon' anymore. That's what Lingzhou calls him, not what we Tiannan should call him."
Not long after Liu Ruyan left, it took Feng Qingshui a long time to react.
He's lived so long, his mind is as clear as a mirror.
It's unclear where the arrival of the Lingzhou sect means Tiannan will certainly be difficult to protect.
He, however, harbored a glimmer of hope, thinking that if he complied, the Lingzhou sect might spare his life.
Liu Ruyan's words unintentionally woke Feng Qingshui up, showing that compromising might not always lead to a good outcome.
"Actually, apart from asking for more spirit stones, Old Demon Han is quite good to us."
Feng Qingshui sighed heavily.
He recalled many things, including how the Righteous Qi Sect was initially exploited.
Many male disciples in the sect were oppressed, and female disciples were abducted to be used as furnaces.
If it weren't for Han Feng, the situation might have been even more serious.
After thinking it over, he finally came to a conclusion, and his eyes became firm: "Forget it, I might as well go all the way with Old Devil Han. Anyway, I've lived for so long."
Feng Qingshui took out the top-grade spirit stone and began cultivating.
He didn't hold back with those top-grade magic treasures either, and began cultivating the Tongbao Technique on them all.
After saying goodbye to Feng Qingshui, Liu Ruyan came to Han Feng's place.
Han Feng had already made plans for Liu Ruyan. Now that she was here, he decided to ask her if she was willing.
"Senior Han, I would like to join Huangfeng Valley," Liu Ruyan said first.
"If you join Huangfeng Valley, what will happen to Hengshan Sect?" Han Feng was a little at a loss.
"Of the tens of thousands of people in Hengshan Sect, only a little over a thousand remain. The entire lineage has been almost completely destroyed. If it weren't for Senior Han, perhaps none of these thousand people would have survived. I think it would be better if they all joined Huangfeng Valley. I wonder if Senior Han would agree?" Liu Ruyan asked with a look of longing.
"I'm afraid that won't work," Han Feng shook his head and refused.
"I understand what Senior Han means. It was I who was delusional."
Liu Ruyan suddenly seemed to lose her soul and was about to leave the cave where Han Feng was temporarily staying.
“Miss Liu, I haven’t finished speaking yet, there’s no need to rush off.”
Han Feng stopped Liu Ruyan: "The reason I don't want you to join Huangfeng Valley is because I have something more important for you to do."
Liu Ruyan's eyes regained their sparkle: "Senior Han, just tell me what you want to do. I'll do my best to do whatever you say."
"This immortal island occupied by the Ruyi Sect originally belonged to your sect. Now I want you to take over this immortal island."
"Senior Han, you're not joking, are you?"
Liu Ruyan couldn't believe it for a moment.
Besides being located at the intersection of Lingzhou and Tiannan, this immortal island also has many superior spiritual veins.
Otherwise, after being occupied by the Ruyi Sect, the Hengshan Sect wouldn't have risked their lives to get back.
