Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 217 Perfect
A few days passed in a flash. For Chen Yunlong, every day seemed like a year. Although he was extremely anxious, he could not rush back to Bianxia Town until Jiang Feng's attitude was clear.

Of course, he did not just sit there and do nothing. These days, he had sent a lot of people to gather his old subordinates to prepare for the counterattack to retake Tianshan.

"Boss, Xu Hao sent someone and asked you to meet him." A man hurried into the house.

Chen Yunlong's expression brightened. After waiting for so many days, there was finally a result. He strode out of the room and met a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. After a few words, he followed him to Qiyuan Mountain.

.........

In the spacious and bright hall, Xu Hao and Song Xian had already taken their seats as host and guest. Chen Yuanlong walked in quickly, and when he glanced at Song Xian, his face was full of confusion.

Xu Hao must have summoned me here to discuss the affairs of the Tianshan Sect. There should be no outsiders present, especially since this person is the leader of a sect close to Tianshan.

He naturally knew that the Hunyuan Sect had been growing stronger and stronger over the years and had become a force that could not be underestimated in Bianxia Town. Because of this, he was even more puzzled as to why Xu Hao invited it.

"Fellow Daoist Xu." Chen Yunlong turned his gaze to Xu Hao and bowed his head in greeting.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, please take a seat!" Xu Hao invited him to sit down. "I summoned you two here today because of the Tianshan Sect's affairs."

As soon as he said this, the expressions of the two people present were a little strange. Chen Yunlong was naturally confused, and Song Xian also frowned slightly. This was of course to confuse Chen Yunlong.

"May I ask, Fellow Daoist Xu, why do you want me to get involved in the affairs of the Tianshan Sect?"

"Don't be impatient. Let me finish my words first. Fellow Daoist Song is here for the matter of Luofeng Valley, and Fellow Daoist Chen is here for the matter of Tianshan Sect. Currently, both Luofeng Valley and Tianshan are controlled by Helian Quan. In other words, this is your common enemy, which is why I summoned you all here together."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. You can definitely unite to deal with Helian Quan. After that, Fellow Daoist Chen will take back Tianshan, and Fellow Daoist Song will take over Luofeng Valley. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Song Xian pretended to frown deeply. "Fellow Daoist Xu, please forgive my bluntness. I'm here on behalf of the various sects of the Bianxia Town Defense Alliance. I hope Senior Jiang can restore peace to Bianxia Town and order the Tianshan Sect to return the resources and territory of Luofeng Valley."

"When Senior Yang organized the peace initiative, Fellow Daoist Chen also participated. However, this time he went back on his word and attacked and occupied Luofeng Valley, which is clearly a violation of the agreement. Therefore, we would like to ask Senior Jiang to uphold the previous agreement."

Xu Hao remained expressionless. "You've already said this was an initiative organized by Senior Brother Yang Jinzhang. What does it have to do with my master? Since Fellow Daoist Song is bringing up the previous agreement, why not go to Senior Brother Yang Jinzhang? Why come to my master?"

Song Xian was silent, and Chen Yunlong couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, Fellow Daoist Xu, what is Senior Jiang's opinion on the affairs of our sect?"

"Master has only been in office for a short time, and many matters at this headquarters have yet to be sorted out, so how can I care about you? You should handle the affairs of Bianxia Town yourselves. Master cannot intervene at the moment. I called you here today to give you a solution."

"Doesn't your Xiazhen Defense Alliance want to take back the resources of Luofeng Valley? Fellow Daoist Chen wants to retake Tianshan. Your goals are actually the same. Wouldn't it be better if you joined forces?"

"After defeating Helian Quan, you can each take what you need. Fellow Daoist Chen will return to Tianshan and hand over Luofeng Valley to them. From then on, we will refrain from aggression and maintain peace. Wouldn't that be a happy ending for everyone?"

"I'm just making a suggestion. If you're willing to consider it, that's fine. If you don't agree, just figure it out yourself!"

At this point, Chen Yunlong became a little anxious. He knew that this was his last chance. Jiang Feng had made it clear that he would not help him take back Tianshan.

If he misses this opportunity again, he will have no chance of turning the tables.

"Since Fellow Daoist Xu has come forward to act as a bridge, I am willing to join forces with the forces of Bianxia Town to deal with Helian Quan. After the success, I promise to return all the resources under the jurisdiction of Luofeng Valley and will not infringe on any sects in Bianxia Town again."

"I cannot make the decision on this matter. I need to go back and discuss it with other fellow Taoists before making a decision."

Song Xian knew that it was Chen Yunlong who was anxious now. The more hesitant he seemed, the more real he was, and the lower Chen Yunlong's vigilance would be.

"I've already said it, the rest is up to you guys to handle!" After saying that, Xu Hao no longer paid any attention to the two of them, got up and left, looking like he was staying out of the matter.

This was a double entendre. To Chen Yunlong, it meant that he had already put forward the idea, and it was up to them whether they were willing to cooperate or not.

But in Song Xian's ears, he had already cooperated in the acting, and what happened afterwards had nothing to do with him.

"Fellow Daoist Song, the forces of Luofeng Valley have been basically eliminated now. If your sect can help me recapture Tianshan, all the resources and territories of Luofeng Valley will fall into your hands. This will benefit both you and me. With Fellow Daoist Xu Hao and Senior Jiang as witnesses, no one dares to play tricks. As long as I can recapture Tianshan, I promise that I will never again target the sectarian forces of Bianxia Town." Chen Yunlong said immediately after Xu Hao left.

Song Xian pretended to be moved. "Back when Senior Yang was leading the peace initiative, Fellow Daoist Chen was a witness! Didn't he go back on his word just the same?"

"This is a different time. The peace agreement presided over by Senior Yang is only valid while he is in charge. Now that Senior Jiang is in charge, the original agreement is naturally invalid. It needs Senior Jiang's approval to be renewed."

"According to what Fellow Daoist Chen said, if Senior Jiang is transferred in the future and a new person takes charge, then what you said in front of Fellow Daoist Xu today would be equivalent to farting."

Chen Yunlong looked embarrassed by Song Xian's words, but he quickly calmed down and said, "This is incomparable. Senior Jiang has just taken up his post and will be in this position for at least a few decades. Who knows what the situation will be like in Bianxi City in a few decades. Just like your sect, which was only a small sect of a dozen people a dozen years ago, it has now become the most powerful sect in Bianxia Town."

"Things in the world are constantly changing. How can anything remain unchanged? Even mountains and rivers can change dramatically, let alone people like you and me."

"No matter what, it will be good for both you and me if we join forces to deal with Helian Quan."

Song Xian then followed up on the conversation to inquire about the truth. "As far as I know, after Helian Quan occupied Luofeng Valley, all the people stationed there were replaced by his men. Before coming to Bianxi City, I heard that your sect had already decided to abolish your position as the head of the sect."

"Helian Quan is now the head of the Tianshan Sect. He holds great power and everyone is subservient to him. If you want to retake Tianshan, how many people can you muster?"

Chen Yunlong said, "I have sent people to gather the scattered brothers from Luofeng Valley. Together with the several teams that are carrying out missions outside, we have gathered forty or fifty people. If you can convince the other forces in Bianxia Town, we will be able to retake Tianshan with our strength."

This statement is definitely not true. Even if there are still loyal subordinates in the Tianshan Sect, it is impossible for him to gather so many people in a short period of time when Helian Quan has already taken control of the overall situation.

But Song Xian did not point it out. Instead, he said with an embarrassed look: "I heard that the guard formation inside your sect is a second-level mid-grade formation. In addition, your sect has many cultivators. Even if we join forces, I am afraid we will not be able to attack Tianshan."

"A forceful attack against the formation is definitely not an option. Not everyone in Tianshan obeys Helian Quan; they're simply forced to do so. I'll find a way to contact the people controlling the formation, and when we attack, they'll work together to shut it down. Then, with a single call and the support of Senior Jiang, many fence-sitters will surely give up resistance or even switch sides and help us." "I've heard that Helian Quan attacked Luofeng Valley because your sect's third-in-command, Hu Feng, abducted his wife. Is this true? I'm curious why Fellow Daoist Hu did this. Where is Fellow Daoist Hu now?"

Of course, Chen Yunlong wouldn't admit it. "These are all Helian Quan's excuses. He's been coveting the position of the head of the family for a long time. This time, he took advantage of my absence to seize power, so of course he had to find a legitimate reason. As for Hu Feng, I don't know where he is now. He fled after the battle in Luofeng Valley and his whereabouts are still unknown."

After hearing this, Song Xian was truly relieved.

The entire plan can be said to be flawless so far. Xiao Liang has been dealt with, and now only Hu Feng, the person involved, remains. Although he is the one who was framed, if he comes out to confront, some flaws might be discovered.

Now even Hu Feng's whereabouts are unknown, so Chen Yunlong and Mu Hequan will have no idea of ​​the whole story.

…………

At Lao Gufeng, outside the Transcendental Chamber, two men in Hunyuan Sect Taoist robes were guarding outside.

"This is the master's uncle, so nothing had gone wrong, otherwise that old man Hu would never let it go. Originally, old man Hu was clamoring to see his precious son's transformation into an ordinary person with his own eyes, and he made a fuss for quite a while. It was only after I mentioned the master's title and the sect's rules that he calmed down. If Hu Xiaobao fails in his transformation into an ordinary person, I'm not sure how old man Hu would make a scene in front of the master." An older man spoke up.

This person was none other than Liu Yun. As the person in charge of teaching the sect's disciples who had not yet achieved transcendence, he was very familiar with Old Man Hu's character. When he mentioned this old man, his forehead unconsciously wrinkled.

Last time, Hu Xiaobao was put in solitary confinement for half a year for injuring someone with a knife. This made Hu's father very sad. He directly blamed him for the incident and spread bad words about him everywhere.

He was slandered because he accepted bribes from others and framed Hu Xiaobao.

In fact, Hu Xiaobao was not imprisoned for that long. After Song Xian made the decision, Old Man Hu went everywhere to look for people. He not only looked for Zhong Wenyuan, but also Lu Yuan and Zhang Ningyuan. In short, he looked for everyone he could.

In the end, he was released after being imprisoned for less than three months by pestering Su Zhirou all the time.

The fifty sticks were naturally just symbolic blows, neither too heavy nor too light.

However, because he failed to discipline his disciples properly, which led to the killing of the disciples who had not yet reached the mortal stage, he was actually deducted two months' salary.

"This kid is a devil. He relies on the fact that his uncle is the headmaster and is always arrogant and domineering. If he succeeds in transforming into a mortal, he will probably cause trouble in the future!" Another young man who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old shook his head and sighed helplessly.

He is one of the first batch of mortal-transcending disciples trained by Hunyuan Sect. He is now Liu Yun's deputy, assisting him in managing the sect's non-mortal-transcending disciples. He knows Hu Xiaobao's character very well. Although he is a little annoyed by his usual behavior, he can do nothing about it and can only turn a blind eye and let it go.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a slight puffing sound was heard from the secret room.

The two looked at each other with shock on their faces. There was only a bucket of spiritual liquid in the secret room to help with transformation, so how could there be a puffing sound? This had never happened before.

The noise was getting louder and louder, and the young man was a little overwhelmed: "Brother Liu, how about we go in and see what's going on?"

"No, before the Transmigration is complete, there can be no interference from the outside world." Liu Yun frowned. "This kid might be quite famous. I heard that all cultivators with extraordinary talents will experience some unusual phenomena when they undergo Transmigration."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow of a giant tree appeared above the secret room.

"Innate supernatural power." Liu Yun's pupils shrank and he cried out in surprise.

.........

"Master, good news! Our sect has a disciple with a single spiritual root." A disciple who was on duty guarding the mountain gate just came back from Bianxi City and hurried forward to report the good news.

"Single spiritual root?" Song Xian was also very surprised when he heard this. The sect had cultivated a total of twenty or thirty Transcendent Disciples over the years, but their aptitudes were mediocre. The best one had only three spiritual roots. He did not expect that a disciple with a single spiritual root would appear now, so he hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"Hu Xiaobao. He just successfully transcended the mortal realm and was found to have a single wood-attributed spiritual root. Not only that, he also awakened his innate magical powers. News of this has spread throughout the sect."

"Hu Xiaobao?" Song Xian was really shocked this time, and subconsciously glanced at Su Zhirou beside him. The couple looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

I never expected that this child would be so talented.

In his impression, this boy was a complete playboy. Relying on the doting of Old Man Hu, he had caused a lot of trouble over the years. The most serious incident was when he even attacked a fellow disciple with a knife. He was ordered to be detained for six months and beaten with fifty sticks.

But later, he couldn't stand Old Man Hu's nagging all the time, and pestered Su Zhirou to plead for him, and finally he was given a lighter sentence.

"Where is Hu Xiaobao now? Tell him to come to the mansion to see me immediately."

"Yes." The disciple responded and left.

"They say that mother's uncle is the most important. Now my husband has an uncle with a single spiritual root. He must be more filial to him in the future." Su Zhirou chuckled.

"It's ridiculous that this kid is so talented." Song Xian shook his head, feeling a sense of unreality and absurdity.

"It's not polite at all for my husband to call his uncle like that."

"If you keep talking in such a sarcastic tone, I'll deal with you when I get home." Seeing that there was no one around, Song Xian threatened viciously, slapped her on the buttocks, and the two of them returned to the mansion hand in hand.

Hu Xiaobao had not arrived yet, but Zhong Wenyuan had learned of his return and came to pay his respects first.

He knew that Song Xian went to Bianxi City to negotiate with Chen Yunlong, which was crucial to the entire plan, so he couldn't wait to inquire about the progress.
