A few days later, in the extremely secret chamber of Qingyun Sect, five figures sat around a square table. The atmosphere within the chamber was heavy and oppressive, as if even the air itself had frozen.
Xiao Qingling, who was dressed in a long green gown and had a cool and elegant temperament, was the first to break the silence with her beautiful eyes. She opened her red lips and said, "My lord, you can return safely. Our hearts, which have been hanging in the air, can finally settle down!" Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.
Xiao Qingfang, who was sitting next to them, immediately echoed, "That's right! Who could have thought that there would be so many unexpected changes in this sect competition! It's really unexpected!" As she spoke, she couldn't help but shook her head slightly, her face full of worry.
Hearing their concerned words, Jiang Feng smiled faintly, a warmth and comfort like a spring breeze. He said softly, "I'm sorry to have worried you all, but fortunately, I haven't encountered any serious danger. By the way, tell me quickly, has anything major happened during this period?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingfang, who had already looked solemn, suddenly changed her expression again. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Several major events have indeed happened. Young Master may not know yet, but just yesterday, the Xuanhai Sect, which has always been at odds with our Qingyun Sect, openly declared war on our sect!" At this point, she paused, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
Jiang Feng frowned slightly, a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "How can this be so ridiculous? Why would they declare war on us for no reason?"
Xiao Qingfang gritted her teeth and continued, "According to what they said, the massacre of many human civilians in recent days was done by you, young master. Moreover, they even produced the so-called 'evidence'." Before she finished speaking, she carefully took out a snow-white sphere from her arms.
Xiao Qingfang continuously poured her spiritual energy into the white sphere. As the spiritual energy poured in, a faint glow gradually appeared above the sphere. Then, a clear image slowly emerged. Everyone looked closely and saw that the scene on the screen was exactly the scene when Jiang Feng led a group of demons to attack the Viper Gang!
Xiao Qingfang continued, "This is an imaging ball. It can record what's happening on the scene. It's also thanks to this that the Xuanhai Sect claimed that the investigating disciple they sent was killed by you because he discovered your secret, and that you were colluding with the demons. The absorption of souls must also be related to the demons."
Xiao Qingfang continued, "The Xuanhai Sect reported this to the Kowloon Dynasty, but the Dynasty neither approved nor denied it. The Xuanhai Sect gave us one month to hand you over, or they will join forces with other sects to attack us."
Bai Qingcang said angrily: "This dynasty clearly doesn't want to intervene. Sect wars draining away their strength is what they want to see!"
Jiang Feng thought for a moment and then said, "It's indeed as Senior Brother said, and I have a vague feeling that the mastermind behind all this might be the Dynasty. As for why they're targeting us, I still don't know. By the way, what are the stances of these sects?"
Xiao Qingfang sighed deeply and spoke in a heavy voice, "Just as that despicable Xuanhai Sect was spreading rumors against us, the Tianxing Sect unexpectedly chose to side with them without hesitation. Furthermore, the Sword King Hall and Dan Pavilion, which have always maintained a neutral stance, have now clearly stated that they will not help either side. Even Yunv Mountain, which has always had a good relationship with us, has agreed to join our campaign. However, the most infuriating thing is the Tyrant Heaven Sect. These guys are clearly eyeing the spiritual mineral resources here if our sect is destroyed, and they can't wait to join this campaign to siege us."
Jiang Feng frowned slightly and asked again, "Then, is it possible that the three major families and the imperial dynasty are involved in this matter?"
Bai Qingcang pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it shouldn't be that serious. After all, there is no direct conflict of interest between them and our sect, and they are most likely unwilling to easily intervene in disputes between sects in the martial arts world."
Hearing this, Jiang Feng smiled faintly and responded confidently, "If that's the case, I believe we still have room for negotiation. We still have a full month until the agreed date for their attack, so during this time, we must carefully plan and deploy our forces. According to the intelligence we have so far, the four major sects will be attacking together, but I doubt they will go all out. After all, each party has ulterior motives, making it difficult for them to work together. Besides, are they the only ones capable of forming an alliance? Don't we have allies of our own that we can rely on?"
Several people looked at Jiang Feng in disbelief, wondering what good plan he had to remain so calm.
Jiang Feng turned his gaze towards Bai Ling and said solemnly, "Hurry up and tell that Fatty Qiu to contact the Divine Machine Pavilion as soon as possible and ask them to assist our sect at this critical moment. After the matter is completed, there will definitely be generous rewards."
After Bai Ling turned and hurried away, her graceful figure gradually disappearing from sight, Bai Qingcang, standing beside her, could no longer contain his excitement. He asked Jiang Feng in surprise, "You actually know the Shen Ji Pavilion? You know, the people in the Shen Ji Pavilion are all proficient in divination and can glimpse the existence of the secrets of heaven! And although the number of people in the Shen Ji Pavilion is small, every member is extremely powerful!"
Jiang Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile as he replied, "Indeed, the fat man who returned with me is very likely the next Master of the Divine Machine Pavilion. Also, Qingfang, please contact the Tianbao Pavilion, the Sword King Palace, and the Dan Pavilion. If they are willing to help our sect this time, I will generously give them precious treasures as a token of my gratitude."
Hearing this, Xiao Qingfang couldn't help but show a bitter expression. She shook her head gently, sighed helplessly, and said, "Young Master, even if you really took out the immortal weapon as a temptation, I'm afraid they might not easily help us. After all, considering our sect's current situation, they are already giving you a lot of face by not actively attacking us!"
However, Jiang Feng didn't care. He still had a smile on his face and said confidently: "That's not necessarily true! What if I take this out?" As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his right hand, and a cup of enlightenment tea emitting rich spiritual energy appeared in his palm.
When everyone saw this, their eyes suddenly lit up, all kinds of thoughts flashed through their minds rapidly, and then they burst into laughter at the same time, as if they saw the dawn of hope right before their eyes.
