Eternal madness

Chapter 183 Alliance with the Flower Sect

Qingxianzi stepped out of the thatched hut. At this moment, Xiao Li and the others stood not far away, gazing at the beautiful scenery of the Flower Sect.

"Master Wang Li, Senior Tianyin." Qing Xianzi's attitude was much better now than when they first met.

Qingxianzi bowed slightly to Xiao Li: "Thank you, Master Wang Li, for saving my junior sister's life. May I ask what brings you here?"

Xiao Li smiled slightly: "May I have a detailed conversation with Fairy Qing?"

Qingxianzi was taken aback, then led Xiao Li to the side, and then waved her hand to cast a spatial barrier.

Hua Jin, standing to the side, gritted her teeth. 'She's practically an old woman now! Why did she seduce Master Wang Li? Wait, could it be that Master Wang Li has a taste for that? Hua Jin, Hua Jin, what are you going to do! You should stand up straight!'

Inside the barrier,
"Speak," said the Azure Fairy calmly.

Xiao Li smiled slightly: "I wonder if Fairy Qing knows about the Xiao Clan, one of the eight ancient clans?"

Qingxianzi nodded: "Of course I know. A thousand years ago, the Xiao Clan was the most powerful clan. Its patriarch, Xiao Xuan, was the most powerful of the five great experts at that time. However, the Xiao Clan also declined a thousand years ago."

Xiao Li cupped his hands in greeting to Qing Xianzi: "This junior is not called Wang Li. Wang Li is just an alias. This junior's real name is Xiao Li, Xiao of the Xiao clan."

Qingxianzi's pupils contracted; Xiao Li's identity was actually that of a descendant of the Xiao clan. Qingxianzi then regained her composure.

Qingxianzi: "Since you are a descendant of the Xiao clan, what business do you have in my Hua Sect? My Hua Sect is not an ancient imperial clan."

Xiao Li: "This junior wishes to represent the Xiao clan in forming an alliance between Yin Valley and your esteemed sect. Fenyan Valley has already agreed to form an alliance with us."

Qingxianzi frowned: "An alliance should have enemies, right? Is it the Soul Palace?"

Xiao Li smiled slightly: "Fairy, you are truly intelligent and wise. Not only the Soul Palace, but also other imperial clans. After all, these imperial clans have strange tempers and look down on those of us who do not have the bloodline of Dou Di."

"They might take action, so we've united to form a powerful alliance to resist the imperial clan's offensive."

Qingxianzi nodded. She had naturally met the people of the Imperial Clan before, and to be honest, she knew where Yaochen came from and his past. Therefore, Qingxianzi had no good feelings towards the Imperial Clan.

“Since it’s an alliance, there will naturally be a hierarchy, right? You’re not planning to use the name of the alliance to annex other sects, are you? After all, you’re also a member of the Imperial Clan.” Qing Xianzi stared at Xiao Li.

"Tsk, Fairy Qing's words are a bit hurtful. Although I am a descendant of the imperial clan, I do not like the bloodline rules of the imperial clan. I still prefer to be an ordinary cultivator."

As for the alliance, in addition to one leader, there will be multiple deputy leaders. For example, your Flower Sect, the Burning Flame Valley, the Sound Valley, and our Xiao Clan can all send one person to serve as a deputy leader.

"The alliance leader will be elected by the people. As long as he is strong and has a strong ability to lead, that will suffice. How about that?" Xiao Li told Qing Xianzi about the alliance.

Qingxianzi nodded. This arrangement was reasonable, since no one wanted their sect to be swallowed up by others.

"An alliance is fine, but I need you to do something for me," Qingxianzi said calmly.

Xiao Li's mouth twitched. Another one with conditions. Why does everyone like to make conditions?

"You tell me."

After pondering for a moment, Qingxianzi gritted her teeth and said, "Help me find the whereabouts of Medicine Venerable Yao Chen."

"Huh?" Xiao Li was completely bewildered. Qing Xianzi blushed but repeated, "Help me find Yao Chen's whereabouts."

Xiao Li looked Qing Xianzi up and down, not expecting her to ask such questions. He had thought she would ask for pills.

"I know the whereabouts of the Medicine Venerable, but please forgive me for not being able to tell you. But rest assured, Fairy, the Medicine Venerable will return within twenty years!" Xiao Li didn't want to say too much, but he still informed Fairy Qing that Yao Chen was still alive.

Qingxianzi breathed a sigh of relief. What she feared most was that Yaochen had truly perished: "Yaochen is still alive, right? You said he could return."

Xiao Li: "He should be considered dead, but he is also considered alive. His physical body is gone, leaving only his soul."

"His physical body is gone? He was so powerful, how could he only have a soul left? Could it be that a Dou Sheng made a move? Or was it the Soul Palace?" Qing Xianzi asked anxiously.

Xiao Li: "It is indeed the Soul Hall. The information I have gathered is that the Soul Hall launched a siege against the Medicine Venerable, who escaped after self-destructing."

"Where is he now? Tell me, I need to find him! Without a physical body, he might be in danger," Qingxianzi said anxiously, grabbing Xiao Li's shoulder.

"Qingxianzi, please calm down. Medicine Venerable is safe now, but I cannot tell you where he is. I said he would return in less than twenty years, and might even rise to a higher level. Please don't worry," Xiao Li said, slapping Qingxianzi's hand away.

Qingxianzi wanted to say something more, but it got stuck in her throat. She recalled the scene when she confessed her feelings to Yaochen, and Yaochen rejected her while holding a child's hand. This made Qingxianzi very sad.

"That show-off, who cares if he lives or dies! Humph!" Qingxianzi removed the spatial barrier and then returned to the thatched hut.

Xiao Li awkwardly scratched his cheek, then walked over to Elder Tianyin.

Soon after, Fairy Hua came out and said with a smile, "Hua Yu's injuries have healed by 60%. Thank you, Master. My elder sister just told me about the alliance, and I am aware of it."

I will then inform the Grand Elder to handle this matter personally. Hua Jin, you will cooperate with the Grand Elder. Our Hua Sect, Yin Valley, and Fen Yan Valley are in an alliance, but the alliance is a secret and cannot be publicized.

This matter should only be known to you and a few elders. Our alliance is a clandestine one; we need to accumulate strength now and must not expose ourselves, understand? If it is exposed, I will personally destroy you!

Hua Jin hurriedly bowed to the Flower Fairy and said, "The Flower Clan gave me life and raised me. My godmother raised me, and Hua Jin will never betray the Flower Clan!"

Hua Jin was secretly delighted. She hadn't expected that the Hua Sect would form an alliance with the Yin Valley. This way, she could see Xiao Li more often. As long as she spent more time with him, she was sure she could get married to Xiao Li!

About half a day later,
The door of the thatched hut opened, and Qingxianzi helped an old woman with gray hair out. The old woman's legs were a little unsteady, and she walked with difficulty.

"Hua Yu, thank you for your help, Master." Hua Yu bowed to Xiao Li and expressed her gratitude.

"Sect Master Hua, you're too kind. Fairy Qing should have already told you that we'll be partners who advance and retreat together from now on. Your injuries are still too severe, and it will take time to completely heal them."

I will prepare the medicine during this time. You should continue to recuperate. After about six months, you should be fully recovered. However, because you have lost too much of your vital essence, it cannot be made up for.

Therefore, your lifespan is much shorter than that of an ordinary Dou Zun expert. Aside from eighth-grade life-extending pills, your only other option is to advance to the Half-Saint realm, where your lifespan will increase again.

Xiao Li informed Hua Yu of her current condition.

"Thank you so much, Master. You've gone to so much trouble." Hua Yu thanked her again, then looked at Hua Jin with complicated and apologetic eyes: "Jin'er, I'm an old woman. I was wrong."

Hua Jin couldn't hold back any longer after Hua Yu said that, but she forced herself to stay calm: "What are you saying, old woman! Don't think I'll be grateful to you just because you said that!"
I just can't stand seeing you, this arrogant old woman, die so hastily! Let me tell you, you've misjudged me! I will definitely be your pride!
