On their way to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Liu Xiaopeng, having collected protection money from Yunzhou, returned to the Fengqing Sect.
He was standing in front of Liu Zhihao, the leader of the Fengqing Sect.
Liu Zhihao looked at his son, who had rushed back, with great confusion. "What's wrong, Peng'er? Has something happened in Yunzhou?"
Liu Xiaopeng took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, calmed himself down, and also organized his thoughts.
Seeing his expression, Liu Zhihao also became serious; he must have something important to say.
Liu Xiaopeng looked at him and said, "Father, I discovered something during my trip to Yunxi City that may affect the future of our Fengqing Sect."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhihao raised an eyebrow, his face showing shock, and he was even more curious about what had happened.
"Peng'er, what exactly happened to you in Yunzhou this time? Tell me in detail."
"It's like this. Originally, I went to Yunxi City to collect resources as usual, but I found that something terrible had happened in Yunxi City. The city lord, Ren Tianya, was dead, as were the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs."
Upon hearing this news, Liu Zhihao remained unmoved. Ren Tianya was merely a puppet supported by the Fengqing Sect, a tool used to serve them.
In Liu Zhihao's mind, Ren Tianya, the city lord, was not as important as an ordinary disciple of the Fengqing Sect.
If they die, they die. We can just find another tool for them. It won't affect them much.
Liu Zhihao looked at Liu Xiaopeng with a calm expression, "Oh, and then? It's not just because of this, is it? If so, you'll disappoint me too much."
"Of course not. A minor city lord in Yunzhou is not worth my attention. It's just that I heard from a father and son from Tianlian Mountain that the deaths of Ren Tianya and their ancestor are likely related to a mysterious token."
"A token?" Liu Zhihao became interested.
“Indeed, according to their analysis, this token is likely of great importance. The old patriarch of Tianlian Mountain, Xie Zhenyang, did not even inform his son and grandson, showing great caution.”
"Since they weren't informed, they won't know anything." Liu Zhihao said with some disappointment.
"No, although they don't know the exact information, they have deduced from the clues that this token is likely something like a celestial cave or a secret treasure of an emperor."
Father, this is an opportunity for our Fengqing Sect! If we can obtain the token, find the treasure and the inheritance, then our Fengqing Sect will rise to prominence and become a first-class force in Yizhou.
No, at that time we can even march into the Holy Land and establish our Fengqing Sect headquarters there, letting the world know our fame.
Liu Xiaopeng became more and more excited as he spoke, his blood boiling and his fighting spirit soaring.
It was as if he had already succeeded, become a peerless master, and looked down upon the world.
Liu Zhihao was also itching to try it out and was filled with anticipation.
However, Liu Zhihao was older and more mature, and he quickly came to his senses.
He glared at Liu Xiaopeng with annoyance and said, "Peng'er, get down to business first. This is still far from settled, so don't think about things that are just wishful thinking."
Liu Xiaopeng calmed down considerably after being reminded by him, but he was still very agitated.
"Father is right. Father, guess where this token is now?"
Upon hearing about the token, Liu Zhihao's expression immediately became excited. "Do you know where the token is?"
Liu Xiaopeng nodded. "According to the information from this father and son, this token has fallen into the hands of someone we know."
Liu Zhihao was immediately displeased. "You brat, stop keeping me in suspense. Who has it fallen into your hands?"
"It is very likely that it will fall into the hands of Shen Mengying, the granddaughter of the second master of Lingyan Pavilion."
There are also several friends she made in Yunxi City, whose leader is named Qin Feng, who may also be in his hands.
Both are possible, but I think the chances are higher with Shen Mengying.
Liu Zhihao was somewhat puzzled. "Let's talk about Shen Mengying first. How did she end up in her hands? She's been to Yunzhou. Could it be that Lingyan Pavilion has also intervened in Yunzhou? That shouldn't be the case. We haven't found any trace of them."
"This child doesn't know, but it's certain that Shen Mengying went to Yunxi City, and she even had a conflict with the people from Tianlian Mountain."
Ren Tianya must have gotten into trouble because he wanted to get his hands on the token from her. It's said he mobilized a large group, but they were all wiped out and didn't return.
Liu Zhihao pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully:
"As the city lord, Ren Tianya couldn't possibly be unaware of Shen Mengying's identity, yet he still chose to take the risk. It seems that the token is indeed very important. Peng'er, your guess was correct."
He then asked, "What's suspicious about Qin Feng?"
Liu Zhihao felt that the name Qin Feng sounded familiar, but couldn't quite place it for a moment.
During the final competition at Feihong City, he didn't take Qin Feng seriously at all, so how could he possibly remember him?
"It's just their speculation, there's no evidence, but I think we can't let any clues go unnoticed."
Liu Zhihao nodded. "That's right, you're right. This is a matter of great importance, and we shouldn't miss any opportunity, no matter how small."
Upon receiving his father's approval, Liu Xiaopeng smiled, but then sighed with emotion.
"Even if we know that the token is in Shen Mengying's hands, what can we do? She is Shen Qianjun's granddaughter, and we dare not offend her."
"Lingyan Pavilion is stronger overall than our Fengqing Sect."
Liu Zhihao chuckled and said meaningfully:
"In the past, Feihong City, led by Lingyan Pavilion, together with Guiyi Tower, Biyun Pavilion, and Haotian Mansion, was indeed a force we dared not provoke."
The situation is different now. The four families have fallen out and there's no way they can reconcile. I'm taking this opportunity to extend an olive branch.
Xu Zhenyang, Pei Ming, and Sui Yong have already formed an alliance with our Fengqing Sect.
