Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 130: Satisfied
In the majestic and spacious hall of Lingyun Mountain, Hu Yingquan sat in the main seat with high spirits. He did not feel any grief or mourning for the deaths and injuries of the sect's disciples, but was immersed in the joy of expanding the territory.

Yunfeng Trading Company has been established in Bianxia Town for many years. The cultivation resources it occupies include ores, sand, spiritual veins, and spiritual fields. The combined size of these resource territories is enough to make Qingyuan Sect self-sufficient.

This battle completely annihilated the Yunfeng Trading Company, and more than thirty or forty cultivators were killed. Not only did the Lingyun Mountain, a first-grade superior spiritual vein, become his property, but the spiritual stones and supplies that the Yunfeng Trading Company had stored over the years were also seized.

How could Hu Yingquan not be happy with such a great victory? The corners of his mouth curled up, and there was an unconcealable look of complacency between his eyebrows.

Seeing Song Xian and Huang Qing coming in, Hu Yingquan didn't stand up. He smiled smugly and waved his hand, acting like a superior: "Master Song, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you! Please take a seat."

Seeing that he was arrogant and not as friendly as before, Song Xian couldn't help feeling a little disgusted and immediately came to the conclusion that this person was not someone he could share wealth with.

During the attack on Lingyun Mountain, nearly half of the Qingyuan Sect's members were killed or injured. However, as the sect leader, he showed no sadness at all, but was complacent instead. This shows that this person is cold-hearted. He is like this to his own disciples, let alone outsiders.

Song Xian was even a little worried whether the spiritual fields he had promised before would be delivered.

Although he thought so in his heart, he remained expressionless.

"Thanks to your blessing, our sect has fulfilled its mission and secured the retreat route on the northern cliff. We have annihilated seven remnants of the Yunfeng Trading Company who fled in that direction, including the second-in-command of Yunfeng Trading Company and his wife."

"Okay." Hu Yingquan patted the armrest of the chair and said, "Master Song, please take a seat."

Song Xian turned around and sat down, nodding to Mao Jie, the leader of the Rising Sun Sect, and Ding Wenxiang, the head of the Ding family. Both of them responded politely.

Hu Yingquan said, "The three of you have contributed greatly to our victory over Yunfeng Trading Company. Our sect is deeply grateful. As long as we all unite and help each other, Bianxia Town will be ours. The resources and territories occupied by those independent cultivators should have been ours. If our sect undertakes further operations in the future, I hope you will support us with all your strength, just as you did today."

After these words were spoken, the three of them couldn't help but exchange glances. Mao Jie frowned and asked, "Master Hu, do you mean that your sect will continue to attack the territories of other independent cultivator forces?"

Hu Yingquan laughed. "That's just a passing remark. Our attack on Lingyun Mountain will surely make the other independent cultivators in Bianxia Town feel insecure. They might even take the initiative to avenge Yunfeng Trading Company and attack our sect. I hope the three of you will give us your full support then."

Ding Wenxiang glanced around and said, "Master Hu, why isn't Senior Kasar here?"

When Mao Jie and Song Xian heard him ask this question, they pricked up their ears and sat up straight.

Obviously, everyone was very interested in this. The biggest reliance of Qingyuan Sect in conquering Lingyun Mountain in one fell swoop was the Muhe Grassland Foundation Establishment Monk. However, how he was related to Qingyuan Sect was something that all three of them were curious about.

Hu Yingquan smiled and said, "Lingyun Mountain has been captured, and Senior Kasar has gone back to rest."

Mao Jie then asked, "I wonder where Sect Leader Hu means by 'returning'? Is it your sect's mountain gate? Or the Muhe Grassland?"

Hu Yingquan smiled slightly, knowing that the three were very curious about Kasar's background and were also very wary of him. This was exactly the effect he wanted. "Of course, we will return to our sect to rest. Senior Kasar still has some unfinished business, so he won't be leaving our sect anytime soon."

Ding Wenxiang said, "Master Hu, I have something to ask you that I'm not sure whether I should ask you or not."

"Master Ding, please speak."

"I wonder what this Senior Kasar's background is? Your clan actually managed to summon him to help, so I guess you must have a close relationship with him."

Hu Yingquan naturally wouldn't tell the truth, and replied vaguely, "Senior Kasar is a wandering cultivator from the Muhe Grassland. Our sect's association with him was simply a coincidence. As for how we met, it concerns Senior Kasar's privacy, so I'm sorry I can't reveal it."

Song Xian couldn't help but ask curiously, "So, Senior Casar won't be leaving your sect in the short term?"

"Oh! I don't know about that either. Whether Senior Kasar wants to stay or leave is up to him. How can our sect decide?"

Mao Jie glanced at Song Xian and Ding Wenxiang, then said slowly, "With Senior Kasar's help, your sect can rest easy! Just now, fellow Daoist also mentioned that this attack on Lingyun Mountain will surely make the independent cultivators in Bianxia Town feel insecure. If they blame us and come to cause trouble for us, I hope your sect will also be willing to help."

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Mao, don't worry. Our four sects are all of the same blood. If the independent cultivators from Bianxia Town dare to cause trouble for you, our sect will definitely not sit idly by and watch."

"With Fellow Daoist Hu's words, we are relieved. Now that Lingyun Mountain has been captured, we have completed your sect's instructions, guarding the retreat route of the cultivators of the Yunfeng Trading Company and killing all of their fleeing disciples. I wonder when your sect will deliver on the Wuyuan Mine that it promised?"

Mao Jie finally asked the question that the three of them were most concerned about. In an instant, the three of them looked at him intently.

Hu Yingquan chuckled, "Don't worry, fellow Daoists. We will never compete with you for the resources and territory we promised you. They belong to you. You can take them for yourself at any time."

Ding Wenxiang's brows furrowed immediately. "Master Hu, do you want us to seize the resource territories ourselves?" Hu Yingquan said calmly, "The three resource territories I promised you are all there. I won't go to your mountain gate station on my own. Of course, if you are willing to wait, we can hand them over to you once we have taken over all of Yunfeng Trading Company's resource territories."

"But this must wait until our sect has taken possession of the other resource territories occupied by the Yunfeng Trading Company. I'm afraid that the three of you won't be able to wait until then, as the news of our attack on Lingyun Mountain will quickly spread throughout Bianxia Town."

"The resource areas under the Yunfeng Trading Company are all managed by dedicated personnel. Once they learn of this news, they will either flee or offer their managed resource areas to other independent cultivator forces as a means of advancement."

"If those resource territories were taken over by other independent cultivator forces, it would not be so easy for the three fellow Daoists to take them over."

"All the cultivators stationed at the gate of Yunfeng Trading Company have been annihilated. Only one or two cultivators are guarding those resource areas. If you three go there now, you can easily capture them."

"I forgot to tell you three fellow Daoists that when we occupied Lingyun Mountain, our sect had already sent several waves of people to the various resource areas occupied by the Yunfeng Trading Company."

The three of them exchanged glances, and their expressions all looked a little unhappy. Hu Yingquan's action was equivalent to tricking them.

It was originally agreed that they would help Qingyuan Sect attack Lingyun Mountain, and after the success, Qingyuan Sect would give them a piece of resources under the jurisdiction of Yunfeng Trading Company as a reward.

But now they have to go and get it themselves. Although the result is the same, the nature is completely different.

Since it was given by Qingyuan Sect, they were helpers and at most could be considered accomplices in the attack on Yunfeng Trading Company.

If he took the initiative to seize the resource territory of Yunfeng Trading Company, he would be transformed from an accomplice to one of the masterminds.

The other independent cultivator forces in Xiazhen will regard Hunyuan Sect, Ding Family, and Xuri Sect as the same major threats as Qingyuan Sect. This will disperse the hatred of the independent cultivator forces towards Qingyuan Sect.

The three of them all thought of Qingyuan Sect's intention, but since things had come to this point, it was impossible for them to turn against Qingyuan Sect. They could only swallow their anger and accept this loss.

"In that case, I will lead people to Wuyuan Mine right away to prevent the cultivators who manage this mine from Yunfeng Trading Company from getting the cultivators and giving them to other forces." Mao Jie was the first to lose his seat and stood up and said unhappily.

Ding Wenxiang stood up immediately and said coldly, "I'm leaving now too."

Song Xian also echoed the sentiment.

"Since my three fellow Daoists have important matters to attend to, I will not stay long. This time, the attack on the Yunfeng Trading Company headquarters was a complete victory, and you three have made great contributions. After my sect has dealt with these matters at hand, I will invite you all to gather again."

After the three of them left the hall, they did not chat any more and went their separate ways. Song Xian returned to the bottom of the northern cliff and briefly recounted his conversation with Hu Yingquan.

"Now the Qingyuan Sect wants us to take the spiritual field in Qianyuan Valley ourselves. We should set off immediately without delay. Otherwise, if the cultivators of the Yunfeng Trading Company who manage the spiritual field offer it to other forces, many complications will arise."

"Brother Zhang Yi, you accompany Brother Wenyuan to carry Brother Zhongyang's body back to the mountain gate. The rest of you follow me."

After making the arrangements, the people of Hunyuan Sect took off into the air on three flying magic vehicles and headed north.

.........

Qianyuan Valley is located in the northeast of Bianxia Town, two hundred miles away from Guzi Mountain. There is a spiritual field of two or three acres in the valley, separated by a wall inside and outside to indicate that this is an owner's land.

The value of a low-grade first-level spiritual field is not very high, so no formation guard is set up. Firstly, the formation consumes too many spirit stones and is not cost-effective. Secondly, the low-level formation cannot cover such a large area, so only a courtyard wall is built around it.

When Song Xian and others arrived, it was already dark.

"This is the jurisdiction of Yunfeng Trading Company. What are you fellow Taoists doing here?" The cultivator guarding the spiritual field here has noticed everyone and came out to greet them, looking at the newcomers vigilantly.

Obviously, this person did not get the news that Yunfeng Trading Company's headquarters had been breached.

Song Xian didn't waste any time talking to him. Since he had already formed a mortal enemy with Yunfeng Trading Company, he would certainly not let this cultivator go.

With a wave of his hand, everyone immediately rushed towards him.
