Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

As we all know, where strange phenomena occur frequently, there must be hidden treasures. The stranger the phenomenon, the more powerful the treasure.

The cold wave in the mountains made the seven families so nervous. They must have some idea of ​​what happened in the mountains and what kind of spiritual creatures were there.

Even if you don't know the details, you must have a general idea.

If so, it would be great if there was some spiritual object that could help improve one’s cultivation.

Jiang Han sighed inwardly. His cultivation had remained at the early stage of the Nascent Soul for nearly three years. It was time for him to break through. If he only relied on hard practice day and night, when would he be able to advance to the God Transformation stage?

Bai Mujian nodded in agreement: "It must be because of this matter. The seven families are probably trying to use you to resolve the strange phenomenon in the mountains."

"However, even with so many Yuanying from the seven families and a Spiritual Transformation Master, the problem cannot be solved. I'm afraid it is definitely not a simple one."

"It doesn't matter. If it's too simple, even if there are any treasures in this mountain, they won't fall into our hands."

Looking at the Qingming Dragon Soul struggling and roaring in the furnace, Jiang Han's eyes were calm, without a trace of emotion.

A month ago, there were still people from the other three sects staying here, and Mo Qiu Shuang had reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

No matter how you look at it, those people are much stronger than him.

But the seven families would rather endure two months of hardship, and only after he came out of seclusion did they come to invite him impatiently, as if he was the only one who could do this.

No matter how I think about it, this matter doesn't seem right.

A purple light flashed in his eyes, then fell silent again. He slowly looked at the three peaks covered with snow in the light curtain.

"You guys, it'd better be something serious."

The flames in the furnace suddenly exploded, instantly engulfing the dragon soul.

The shrill screams were blocked by the formation, and one could only see the dragon soul struggling in pain in the treasure furnace.

……

The clouds dispersed a few days ago, and Huanglong City finally had a few days of good weather. At noon today, a sudden cold wind dropped the temperature by a few degrees.

Those who practice Taoism do not know the cold or warmth, but the well-informed mortals in the city have stockpiled a large amount of firewood, preparing to make a fortune in the upcoming cold wave.

Since a month ago, the largest restaurant in the city, Mengxianlou, has stopped welcoming guests.

Until noon today, Mengxian Tower was suddenly surrounded by people sent by the Shui family. It was obvious that something had happened. Although the guards had instructed that no one was allowed to get close, there were still some brave people who gathered in the distance to watch the excitement.

Just after the afternoon, Shui Qianyuan arrived at Mengxian Tower early. After personally inspecting the banquet, he took Shui Rencheng with him and waited outside the tower, awaiting the distinguished guests to arrive for the banquet.

Looking at his grandson's well-behaved appearance, Shui Qianyuan couldn't help but persuade him:

"This opportunity today is hard-won, you must seize it. If you can leave a good impression on His Highness, even if it's just some appreciation, our Shui family can leave this troubled place sooner, and we won't have to fight with the six families in this city in the future."

Shui Rencheng recalled the indifferent and ruthless look of His Highness, and his heart became nervous, but he still lowered his head and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I remember it."

He had been with His Highness for so long before, but he didn't even dare to say a word, let alone now.

Besides, with his ordinary qualifications and having practiced Taoism for nearly a hundred years and only reaching the great perfection of the Jindan stage, how could he possibly catch the eye of His Highness?

However, he also knew the seriousness of the matter. Although Luoyang Mountain had abundant resources, enough to support the joint development of the seven families, the cold wave was getting stronger and stronger, and Huanglong City might not be able to hold on for too long.

If he has the chance to gain the favor of His Highness, he will certainly try his best.

"Grandfather, the cold air in the mountains is so intense that not only are the peak Jindan stage monsters unable to withstand it and are fleeing, but even those in the Yuanying stage have retreated to the edge of the mountain. Is His Highness really willing to take such a risk and help us?"

Hearing this, Shui Qianyuan's brows were filled with worry: "Whether it succeeds or not, we have to try it first."

"The important thing is not His Highness, but to use His Highness's hand to ask the Sword Sect to send someone here."

He sighed unwillingly and said, "Although the treasure in the mountain is precious, the seven families like us have been unable to obtain it so far. It would be better to give it to the Sword Sect to gain good karma and have more options in the future."

"Why does it have to be the Sword Sect? Didn't people from other sects come here before?" Shui Rencheng wondered.

"Alas..." Shui Qianyuan sighed, "Other sects prioritize their own interests. If they learn of the reason behind the mountain, they will not only take the treasure, but also claim the Luoyang Mountains as their own. Even we will be expelled by them."

"When we hunted the Azure Nether Dragon this time, people from all five sects came. You should have seen what the people from other sects looked like."

"In their eyes, we are no better than ants."

"Only His Royal Highness the Holy Son is different from them. He is not only loyal and righteous, but also keeps his word. If he can resolve the trouble in the mountains and obtain the treasure, he can at least leave a place for our families to stay, not to mention any generous gifts."

"Our methods can't even get close to the source. If even the Sword Sect can't do anything, then we can only give up this precious place and find another way."

Having said this, the two fell silent for a moment. In the world of cultivating immortals, strength is supreme, and the weak can only be slaughtered.

The seven great families of Huanglong City seem to be the local tyrants. If they unite to face the outside world, they will be a force second only to the big sects.

But if placed in front of the Five Sects, it is still just a bigger ant.

The high-level skills, resources, and magic weapons are all occupied by the big sects. Even if they are at the same level, the disciples of the big sect can easily deal with two or even three of them, not to mention those core disciples. Any random heaven-level secret technique can easily kill several people of the same level.

Soon, as several beams of light fell, the crowd outside caused a commotion.

"Look, Patriarch Mu has also arrived in person. I guess Patriarch Shui is waiting for him."

"The relationship between the Mu and Shui families isn't exactly good. What could have happened to bring them together?"

"No, look, the head of the Mu family didn't even enter the building. Instead, he's waiting outside the door!"

"Could it be that there are seniors with even greater status coming?"

The Mu family is already the largest aristocratic family in Huanglong City. Not only does it have a Divine Transformation cultivator in charge, but it also has the largest number of Nascent Soul cultivators among the seven major families.

Under normal circumstances, even the other six families would have no choice but to retreat and avoid the Mu family.

But today, the head of the Mu family and the head of the Shui family were actually standing outside the building waiting together. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were definitely waiting for a guest who was more distinguished than their two families!

Mu Tinglong's face looked a little grim. He reluctantly nodded to Shui Qianyuan as a greeting, then asked casually,

"I heard that His Highness gave you the Black Nether Flower Petals?"

Shui Qianyuan was surprised and said, "Fellow Daoist Mu is quite well-informed. Yes, when I went to pay my respects to His Highness today, His Highness gave me the Black Nether Flower."

Mu Tinglong's face became even uglier. Even though he knew about this before coming here, he still felt a little depressed when he heard Shui Qianyuan admit it with his own ears.

These petals of the Dark Nether Flower were originally supposed to be his!

It’s a pity that if you take a wrong step, you will never have another chance.

He suddenly lost the mood for chatting and stared at the horizon in a daze.
