While Qin Feng and his group were enjoying themselves at Tianjiao Tower, Jiang Yan of the Hehuan Sect had already led his disciples back to the sect.
Feng Ji asked Jiang Yan for instructions, "Sect Master, what should we do next? With those geniuses joining the Heavenly Sword Sect, their strength will definitely increase dramatically, posing a great threat to us."
Jiang Yan scoffed and mocked:
"Hehe, I'm pleased that Elder Feng is considering the sect's interests, but there's no need to worry too much."
They have talent, but what kind of genius is someone who never reaches their full potential? Aside from those who went astray, how many geniuses have died young? There's no need to worry excessively.
Feng Ji raised an eyebrow, having some guesses in his mind, but still tentatively asked, "What does the Sect Master mean?"
Jiang Yan didn't keep them in suspense and went straight to the point:
"We were originally six equally matched forces. After the Blade Overlord Sect was destroyed for no reason, there are now five left. We have been in a state of balance."
The situation where the Heavenly Sword Sect dominates is something no one wants to see. This applies to our Hehuan Sect as well as the other three sects.
However, their style of doing things is different from ours. We are direct and frank, while they are hypocritical and hypocritical.
Hmph, they're probably even more anxious than we are right now.
They will not stand idly by if their interests are affected.
However, it seems that for now, this task still needs to be taken by our Hehuan Sect.
The Heavenly Sword Sect prides itself on being righteous, and they cultivate a sword heart. They often clash with our sect, so we need to be careful.
Those with silver aptitude are out of the question, but those with gold and purple aptitudes must die—no, it would be such a waste to kill them. These kinds of aptitudes would be incredibly nourishing for any furnace or vessel.
Feng Ji was a little worried, "But wouldn't that mean starting a war with the Heavenly Sword Sect?"
Jiang Yan waved his hand dismissively and said:
"Who can say for sure about things without evidence? Just change your identity. People get injured and killed every day, isn't that normal?"
Send people to keep a close watch on their movements and report back immediately if there's an opportunity. If necessary, what harm is there in me taking action myself?
Feng Ji was startled. "There's no need to trouble the sect leader. I'm still in good health."
...
The Gate of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Xiong Fei sighed to Tian Zheng, "Sect Master, what promising talents they were! How come the Heavenly Sword Sect took them all?"
Tian Zheng also shook his head and sighed, "Ah, who can argue with that?"
Xiong Fei was somewhat worried, "If these people grow up, the balance of power will probably be broken, and the Heavenly Sword Sect will become the only dominant force."
Tian Zheng looked at him meaningfully and smiled, "You're speaking too soon. It's not just our family that's worried."
Xiong Fei thought for a moment, "Does the sect leader mean that someone will make a move against them?"
Tian Zheng nodded. "No one wants to see one company dominate. I guess Jiang Yan has probably already started making moves."
Xiong Fei asked in confusion, "But wouldn't that be tantamount to starting a war with the Heavenly Sword Sect?"
Tian Zheng sneered, dismissing it as nothing:
"Who can say for sure when there's no evidence? Haven't there been plenty of covert rivalries over the years?"
Xiong Fei, I know you usually bury yourself in your studies and rarely deal with affairs, and you also despise these sordid things.
However, it's perfectly normal for a power to use certain tactics; there's no need to worry about it.
If the Joyful Union Sect makes any moves, we'll just turn a blind eye; if necessary, we can cooperate.
Xiong Fei was very straightforward and couldn't quite accept these things, but in the end he nodded in agreement.
Just as Jiang Yan of the Hehuan Sect had guessed, Tian Zheng of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect held this attitude, and the Huanhua Sect and the Medicine King Valley held similar attitudes.
If you can't have it, destroy it.
...
Fengqing School.
Sect Leader Liu Zhihao's expression was very unpleasant at this moment; their plan against Shen Mengying had failed.
At this moment, he rebuked the elder in charge:
"What kind of work are you doing? Didn't I tell you to find out the truth? How come Shen Qianjun suddenly appeared?"
"I don't know what happened either. According to my report, when Shen Mengying and her group left the city, they clearly did not see Shen Qianjun."
Liu Zhihao waved his hand, "Never mind, you can go now."
Seeing that only he and his father were left, Liu Xiaopeng frowned and guessed, "Father, could it be that Shen Qianjun discovered something and is following us in secret?"
Liu Zhihao thought for a moment, "Has Lingyan Pavilion been doing anything unusual lately?"
Liu Xiaopeng shook his head. "No, everything is normal."
Liu Zhihao asked in confusion, "That's strange. Could it be a coincidence?"
Liu Xiaopeng sighed, "Maybe that's really the case."
Liu Zhihao also sighed, "This time we've already alerted them, it'll be even more difficult next time."
Liu Xiaopeng was very unwilling, "But this matter is of great importance, are we just going to give up like this?"
Liu Zhihao sneered.
"Hmph, give up? That's impossible. We've finally got this opportunity, we can't give it up."
"Didn't they go to Tianjiao City? Then let's go too. The power dynamics in Tianjiao City are very complex; maybe it'll be our opportunity."
Liu Xiaopeng's eyes lit up.
"Yes, the news that came back this time said that Tianjiao City has been making a lot of noise recently, with several geniuses emerging. Even the leaders of various forces have made an appearance. However, the news is unclear, and we don't know which forces they are from."
...
Qin Feng and the others had a good night's rest at Tianjiao Tower.
The next day, Shen Mengying secretly found them alone.
"Hehe, remember the Hundred Flowers Pavilion in Yunxi City? There's a Celestial Pavilion here too. I heard it's even more upscale than the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. Shall we go check it out?"
Yin Tiantian said with great interest, "Great! Last time I was really enjoying it, but that annoying Ren Xiaoyang ruined the atmosphere. This time I'm going to have a proper experience."
