Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 125 The same spirit connects branches
April is the season with comfortable climate in Bianxia Town, and only at this time can you see the scenery of birds flying and grass growing.

Changyi Lake is rippling with clear water, fish are jumping around, and the lake surface is sparkling under the gentle sunlight.

It was a beautiful sight, but everyone by the lake had solemn expressions on their faces.

"Master Song, when exactly will your people arrive? The Master is waiting for me to go back and report!" After a long time, Ren Quan, a disciple of Qingyuan Sect, became impatient and seemed a little anxious.

"Wait a little longer, it should be here soon."

Ren Quan secretly curled his lips. He didn't know much about the situation of Hunyuan Sect. Before coming here, he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to gather just ten fighters.

"How about this! Sect Leader Song, you come with me to see our sect leader, and the rest of us will wait here. Once everyone has gathered, we can go together, how about that?"

"Wait another half hour! If they haven't arrived yet, we'll go ahead."

"Okay then!" After all, since he had to ask for help from others, Ren Quan had no choice but to compromise.

After a long while, a flying magic weapon was seen rushing over from a distance, with three people sitting on it, namely Zhang Ningyuan, Zhang Yi and Zhong Yang.

After they got together, they immediately headed towards the mountain gate of Qingyuan Sect.

.........

"Master Song from the Hunyuan Sect has arrived." In front of the majestic and spacious hall, several inner disciples dressed in the black clothing of the Qingyuan Sect lined up on both sides.

When Ren Quan announced Song Xian's name, one of them shouted loudly, his voice like thunder.

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a red robe, came out and bowed, saying, "I am Huang Qing, an elder of the Qingyuan Sect. I thank Master Song for coming to assist us. Our Master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Song Xian returned the greeting: "So it's Huang Daoyou, I've long heard of your great name."

"Please." Huang Qing made a gesture, and the two of them entered the inner room together. They saw several people sitting on both sides of the hall, including Ding Family Patriarch Ding Wenxiang, Rising Sun Sect's leader Mao Jie, and two Qingyuan Sect elders. The one sitting in the main seat was naturally Qingyuan Sect's leader Hu Yingquan.

"Master Song, welcome, welcome. I was worried that your sect wouldn't come!" Hu Yingquan took a quick look with his spiritual sense, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it, stood up with a smile on his face and greeted him.

The last time he met Song Xian, he was only at the third level of Qi Refining. Unexpectedly, in less than two years, he had broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Seeing that the Ding family and the Xuri Sect had arrived, Song Xian felt a little relieved. Everyone was in the same boat, so there was nothing to worry about.

The reason why he agreed to Qingyuan Sect's request was that he was afraid that Hunyuan Sect would be isolated by the other three forces. After agreeing, he was a little worried that Qingyuan Sect was deceiving him with lies. If the Ding family and Xuri Sect did not come, and only Hunyuan Sect was involved in the dispute, it would not be a good thing for Hunyuan Sect.

"Since your noble clan has sincerely invited us, how can our clan refuse this grand event?"

"Please take a seat." Hu Yingquan waved his hand.

Song Xian nodded to Ding Wenxiang and Mao Jie, then took a seat on the left. The two of them also nodded politely in response.

The three of them had met before, and two of them were somewhat curious about his rapid improvement in cultivation, but now was not the time to discuss these matters.

"Thank you all for not abandoning us and for helping us at this critical moment. On behalf of the Qingyuan Sect, I would like to thank you all for your kindness. The Qingyuan Sect will never forget the friendship of the three of you. If your sects have any requests in the future, our sect will definitely repay you." Hu Yingquan said sincerely and bowed slightly after speaking.

Regardless of whether these words come from the heart or are just polite remarks, at least the attitude is very sincere.

When the three saw him bow, they all stood up.

Mao Jie spoke first, "Master Hu, this is serious. Our four sects have migrated from the inland to this town. We have no relatives here and are unfamiliar with the place. We should unite and help each other. How can we stand idly by when your sect is in trouble? This is what we should do."

Ding Wenxiang also echoed, "Brother Mao is right. We are all of the same blood. We all rise and fall together. Moreover, so many resources and territories in Bianxia Town have been occupied by independent cultivators. This is unreasonable."

"We are all here under the orders of the Qianqing Sect, but we have nothing but a bare spiritual vein to serve as our mountain gate. Looking across the entire Qin Kingdom, which formal sect is like us? Your sect's recovery of the resource territory occupied by the Yunfeng Trading Company is a completely legitimate and just act."

Song Xian heard what the two of them said and it seemed that they both wanted to seize the resources and territory from the scattered cultivators in Bianxia Town. He was secretly shocked and thought that Bianxia Town would have no peace in the future.

This was no surprise. The Ding family and the Rising Sun Sect had many disciples but no significant businesses to support their daily expenses. Their income was meager, relying on commerce on the Muhe Grasslands and their Nanyuanfang shop. Their profits might not even approach those of the Hunyuan Sect's Jade Fragrance Pills. They had survived until now largely by living off their savings. If this continued, their income would be insufficient to cover their expenses, and they would eventually collapse.

This also explains why they were happy to get involved in the dispute between Qingyuan Sect and Yunfeng Trading Company.

This is a great opportunity for them. Once Qingyuan Sect opens this loophole, they can attack those independent cultivator forces without any scruples and seize their resources and territories. Only in this way can the sect continue.

Today they helped Qingyuan Sect. In the future, when they seize the resources and territories of the scattered cultivator forces in Bianxia Town, they can also ask Qingyuan Sect for help.

Since both of them had already expressed their opinions, Song Xian naturally had to express his own opinion. Therefore, he followed Ding Wenxiang and said, "Our clan is weak and powerless. We are honored to be invited to participate in your grand event."

"Thank you three fellow Taoists, please take a seat." Hu Yingquan's smile became even wider.

"I won't go into the details of this matter. Yunfeng Trading Company, relying on its years of business in Bianxia Town, not only usurped the resources and territory that should belong to us, but also openly murdered our sect's disciples. How can this be tolerated?"

"If he can ambush and kill our disciples today, he will ambush and kill your disciples one day. If we don't give him a thundering blow and kill this trend, even other independent cultivator forces in Bianxia Town will follow suit."

"Fortunately, you are all reasonable people who know not to encourage the evildoers. You all chose to step forward and help. I won't say much to thank you."

"Today's situation is either I die or he dies. Only one of the Qingyuan Sect and the Yunfeng Trading Company can gain a foothold in Bianxia Town."

"I have decided to lead all the disciples of this sect in a desperate fight against Yunfeng Trading Company. With your help, I believe we can eradicate this cancer in one fell swoop."

Mao Jie was the first to respond: "Master Hu, since you have brought your disciples here, you are determined to live and die with your sect. Just tell us what you need us to do."

"Okay. Then I'll get straight to the point!" Hu Yingquan's smile gradually faded, his expression becoming serious. "From what I understand, Yunfeng Trading Company has already sent people to contact several independent cultivators in Bianxia Town. While I don't know exactly what they discussed, I suspect they're collaborating with these independent cultivators to deal with our sect."

"Of course, our sect cannot sit idly by and wait for death. We must take the initiative. That's why we urgently seek your help. We want to take advantage of them before they reach a conclusion. We want to strike first, catch them off guard, and seize the Yunfeng Trading Company headquarters in one fell swoop."

"If we wait until these independent cultivator forces unite as one, it will be difficult to deal with them."

"This attack on Yunfeng Trading Company is aimed at annihilating them in one fell swoop. Most importantly, we want to annihilate the cultivators within and eliminate all their manpower. If we only capture their headquarters and allow a large number of Yunfeng Trading Company members to escape, they will inevitably come back and make a comeback, and then this attack will be meaningless."

"That's why my sect is borrowing people from you three fellow Daoists. With the support of the fifty cultivators from your three families, my sect will be more confident in annihilating the cultivators from the Yunfeng Trading Company in one fell swoop."

After Hu Yingquan finished speaking, he clapped his hands. The three elders below him understood and took out a jade tray that had been prepared long ago from under their respective desks. It was covered with a red cloth. The three elders each held a tray and came to Mao Jie, Song Xian and Ding Wenxiang.

"This is the spiritual stone reward I promised to the three fellow Taoists. As for the resources and territory after the mission is accomplished, I will give it to you after we destroy the Yunfeng Trading Company."

The three of them looked at each other. Mao Jie took the jade plate first and lifted the red cloth on it, only to see a black cloth bag placed on it.

Mao Jie opened it, took a look, and then put it into his storage bag.

Seeing that he had accepted it, the two of them also took it.

Like Mao Jie, both of them had the same black cloth bag on their jade plates. Song Xian opened the bag and took a look. There were ten dark green fourth-level spirit stones inside.

From this arrangement, we can see how deeply the Qingyuan Sect put in place the plan.

He had just said that the three sects had sent a total of fifty cultivators to help, which meant that the three sects' contributions were not equal. For example, the Hunyuan Sect only sent ten disciples.

If the amount of effort is different, then the remuneration will definitely be different.

Hu Yingquan prepared the spirit stone rewards that he had promised in advance for the three people in order to reassure them, but from beginning to end, he did not tell them the specific amount of rewards for each person.

The purpose of putting the spirit stones in a cloth bag inside is to avoid exposing the number of spirit stones and avoid comparison.

In this way, everyone knows exactly how much they have gained, and they will not be dissatisfied due to uneven gains.

Although this is just a trivial matter, it shows the Qingyuan Sect's thorough consideration.
