Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 124 Smiling in public, but raising a knife in private.
Leave them all behind.

As Qingluan finished speaking, everyone present felt their hearts beat faster.

That's the Palace of a Thousand Flowers.

The Myriad Flowers Palace, which possesses Nascent Soul stage cultivators, is now facing direct confrontation from the Qingheng Sect.

Moreover, this was during the land reclamation period.

This means that the Qingheng faction will face enormous pressure.

but……

So what?

The cultivators of the Qingheng Sect have never been afraid of pressure.

They are not afraid of fighting.

They themselves were cultivators who had fought their way through battle.

Although they were facing the Myriad Flowers Palace, which had Nascent Soul stage cultivators, they simply smiled.

Then, tasks were immediately assigned.

Because the other side sent quite a few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, even Zhang Yan was sent out.

Among them, Zhang Yan, Lei Wanbao, and another senior sister formed a three-person team, leading fifteen Qi Refining late-stage cultivators to carry out a sweep.

The distribution was similar for everyone else.

However, the Qingheng Sect was, after all, pioneering a new field.

Therefore, the number of cultivators who remained was not large, and many of them were old, weak, sick, or disabled. However, none of them refused the assigned tasks; on the contrary, many of them were eager to get started.

Staying behind is safe, but it also means less contribution. Without contribution points, how can they obtain resources?
The path of spiritual cultivation is one of struggle.

Only through continuous struggle can we gain a glimmer of hope.

I thought that staying behind meant I wouldn't have another chance, but I never expected that the Palace of Ten Thousand Flowers would come to provoke me.

Leaving aside other things...

Just do it and that's it.

"If we all leave, what will become of the Qingheng Sect's mountain gate..."

The silver-haired old woman hesitated for a moment before asking Qingluan.

"Don't worry, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Myriad Flowers Palace were to come in person, they wouldn't be able to shake the Qingheng Sect's position."

Qingluan spoke softly, and her tone was extremely cold.

But to everyone else, it felt warm.

With the words of Qingluan.

No longer worried, everyone left to carry out their mission.

However, when performing a task.

Zhang Yan and others were also reminded.

If it is not necessary.

Don't mess with the local families in the Tianmu Mountains.

Everyone understands this.

Although the Qingheng faction has always maintained a high-pressure policy towards the families within its jurisdiction.

However, they were also very generous to all the families.

It can be said that they truly achieved the principle of rewarding merit and punishing mistakes.

If under normal circumstances.

These families dared to have even the slightest connection with the Palace of Ten Thousand Flowers.

The Qingheng School will dig deep and get to the bottom of things.

But it's different now.

We are currently clearing land.

All the families gathered together.

If there is any connection, kill them all.

Then there's going to be a mutiny at the front.

So their orders were to wipe out those troublesome families.

……

Because they were accompanied by more than a dozen Qi Refining stage cultivators, their speed was not fast.

Zhang Yan, Lei Wanbao, and Senior Sister Jia led the way, while the Qi Refining cultivators followed obediently behind.

Among these three people...

Only Senior Sister Jia has the highest cultivation level.

He was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, just a little short of forming the Golden Core.

Of course.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this Senior Sister Jia will never be able to achieve the Core Formation stage in her lifetime.

After all, the Golden Core stage is different from the Foundation Establishment stage.

It requires not only natural talent, but also specialized materials.

Although Senior Sister Jia has reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, she is too old, already over 160 years old.

The reason she looks like a middle-aged woman now.

That was purely due to the maintenance of magical power at the time. At such an advanced age, successfully advancing to a higher level would be extremely difficult.

As one ages, one's magical power diminishes, and one's flesh and blood wither. If one attempts to break through to the Golden Core stage, the slightest mistake could lead to death.

After all, not everyone is like the third senior brother...

However, although Senior Sister Jia has the highest cultivation level.

But their status is the lowest...

This is pretty ridiculous.

Zhang Yan was a true disciple.

Lei Wanbao was the acting peak master, which meant that Senior Sister Jia, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, could only obey the orders of these two people.

But the good thing is.

Zhang Yan and Lei Wanbao were both quite sensible.

They don't understand this.

Therefore, I am not hesitant to ask for advice.

In this regard.

Senior Sister Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid of leaders who knew nothing but loved to give orders blindly.

So she adjusted her thinking and slowly began to speak: "We are in charge of the central region of the Tianmu Mountains. This area is relatively close to Qingheng Market. The families there will be concentrated there, so we should be able to find them easily."

Moreover.

This is the Qingheng Mountain Range.

This is our home turf. Even if some families in our Tianmu Mountains betray the Qingheng Sect for their own benefit, the number will be very small, definitely a tiny fraction.

After all, all the main forces of the families are currently on the front lines.

"If they rebel from behind, aren't you afraid the main force of the family will be killed?"

Upon hearing what Senior Sister Jia said...

Zhang Yan and Lei Wanbao immediately understood the situation.

They are not afraid that someone is colluding with the Palace of Ten Thousand Flowers.

What if there are too many people colluding with him, and killing the troublemakers doesn't stop them?
Now it seems.

They were worrying unnecessarily.

Think about it too.

After all, the Qingheng Sect has been operating in the Tianmu Mountains for so many years, how could they possibly allow the Wanhua Palace to infiltrate so easily?

"Shall we go first?"

Lei Wanbao asked.

"Let's go to this one first." Zhang Yan took out a map and pointed to a family called the Sun family.

"The Sun family?"
Why go here?

Lei Wanbao asked Zhang Yan with some confusion, "Isn't the Sun family a mole within the Wanhua Palace?"

"Wouldn't going directly to the Sun family's house alert them?"

"The goal is to stir up trouble and alert the enemy."

Zhang Yan sneered: "First, send a message to our spies, telling them to withdraw from the territory of the Myriad Flowers Palace. Since the Myriad Flowers Palace has sent people to infiltrate our territory, let's give them a warning."

"This is a good option."

Otherwise, they might really think we're easy targets!

After thinking about it for a while, Senior Sister Jia also felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Their attack on the Sun family was meant to send a warning to Wanhua Palace: "I already know what you're up to, you old bastard, better behave yourself."

……

After the location was determined.

Zhang Yan led everyone quickly to the Sun family's residence.

The Sun family in the Tianmu Mountains has a unique skill: they are excellent at cultivating flowers. The flowers they grow are not only full of vitality but also extremely beautiful.

When families have any celebrations, they will buy some items from them.

Some of the sacred flowers also have medicinal value.

In addition, they are close to Qingheng Market, so they are very well off.

However, on this day...

Zhang Yan and his group suddenly appeared above the Sun family's residence.

Then he sent a disciple to summon the Sun family members.

"Master?" The acting patriarch of the Sun family, an old man in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, looked at Zhang Yan with some confusion.

"It's nothing, we just came to let you know that there have been some thieves recently, so please be careful," Zhang Yan said with a smile to the old man.

“I see. We will be careful. However, Master must be tired from your journey. Please come in and rest. We will also prepare some spiritual wine for you.”

The old man didn't doubt Zhang Yan and the others' words at all.

"There's wine?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan's eyes lit up, and he said, "In that case, we'll gladly accept your offer."

As he spoke, he led his men toward the Sun family's house.

As Zhang Yan passed the old man, his expression suddenly changed.
