Beauty helps me achieve immortality

That night.

The cold wind howled.

In the heart of the three ancestral halls of the Nangong ancient clan, the Mingxin Hall is brightly lit.

A vast barrier concealed the situation, hindering the primordial spirit from probing the circumstances within.

Beyond the main hall, at the very end of the distant sky.

Zhao Qing's gaze remained calm as he maintained the posture of the Sixth Patriarch, walking through the air to transmit the teachings. On the surface, he appeared calm and composed... but in reality, he was in a state of utter panic.

This is... unbelievable!

Even he could never have imagined it before.

He never imagined that his journey overseas would one day lead him to become the sixth ancestor of the Nangong clan, and that he would sit and discuss matters with the great powers of the Jade Capital.

This setup is practically a low-budget version of the Immortal Palace!

Can I sit on the table by myself?

at the moment.

Fortunately, Zhao Qing was aware that his safety was not in question, which allowed him to bite the bullet and come to meet a group of living fathers.

Now, all we can do is take it one step at a time.

When he went to the Mingxin Hall to discuss matters, he took different approaches depending on the circumstances.

Fortunately, there are contingency plans for most possible scenarios... although some of these countermeasures are unlikely to be successful in practice.

Sihe and he were of one mind, so they stayed in the catalog.

At this moment, they arrived at the side of his aunt and the Phoenix Maiden, using the incense to create a scene and broadcasting his perspective.

Meanwhile, Sister Zhang and Lianyin lay down near Yu Hai and waited.

To be honest, the Phoenix Queen was also waiting... waiting for notification, ready to provide backup at any time.

……

This time.

In the vast overseas world, amidst the abandoned ruins shrouded by the nine luminaries.

Zhang Jin and Lian Yin piloted the flying boat, holding the Demon Talisman and communicating with Si He Xiaoyi.

The Tianyan Diagram in the Six Shrines of Nangong.

The vast incense smoke transformed into light and shadow, reflecting the night in Zhao Qing's eyes, and reflecting the ever-approaching main hall.

The Phoenix Maiden raised her eyes slightly, observing silently with composure.

And Zhao Qing...

Of course, he was thinking to himself, "This is what I'm thinking to Si He."

After confirming repeatedly that all parties were in place and that there seemed to be no major problems,

Then he passed it on one step.

They passed right through the restrictions of the Mingxin Hall!

—The elders of the various ancestral halls in Nangong discussed the matter together.

Whether it works or not, that's how it is.

The pieces from the past, who had only played a minor role as players, have now truly entered the game of strategy and competition among various factions...

Zhao Qing knew what was going on.

Although his cultivation level was not yet at the Nascent Soul stage, he was still a far cry from the Bodhi-like drunken monk.

But it also has its own unique advantages.

He can try to do whatever he wants, as long as it's not too reckless, Phoenix will always have the means to lend a hand.

If he really messes things up, the Phoenix Maiden can step in and resolve the situation, simply saying, "What does a little apprentice know? Get him out of here."

The instant the barrier was broken.

The world before him suddenly cleared, and the scene in the palace came into Zhao Qing's view, and was also projected onto Huang Nu and Si He Xiao Yi...

The atmosphere in the spacious hall was extremely solemn.

The one at the head of the table.

He was a man with a calm expression, whose gaze held both a smile and a scrutinizing quality.

—The Three Ancestors!

On the left and right sides of the main hall, there are altars where the ancestral tablets of each temple are seated, but many of these seats are empty.

Zhao Qing looked at it for the first time.

He smiled slightly, bowed slightly to the three patriarchs at the head of the table, and then turned to walk to his own seat...

We'll find out in a bit whether there are any continuity errors or not.

Right now, we're still sticking to Plan A, just going through the motions.

The location belonging to the Sixth Patriarch is easy to find.

—Two beautiful women were seen taking their seats, with a space of more than ten feet between them, and neither seat was occupied.

One of those positions, of course, belongs to the Sixth Patriarch.

On the left, the Fifth Patriarch.

The beautiful woman had a refined and elegant demeanor, and nodded silently to him.

With a wisp of Phoenix Maiden's primordial spirit helping him conceal the situation, Zhao Qing dealt with it calmly, nodding before gladly entering the fray...

She knew perfectly well that the person to her left was none other than the young master of Tianxiang Pavilion!

The empty space on the right belongs to the Seven Ancestors.

The Seventh Patriarch hasn't arrived yet... I wonder if he will.

One position to the right is another beautiful woman with a languid posture, leisurely observing the expressions of everyone present.

Group 8, Purple Pearl Medicine Master!

As Zhao Qing took his seat, his initial nervousness suddenly eased.

Tsk... that's all there is to it.

His perception of incense offerings was quite accurate, and he easily located the middle-aged man opposite him.

The Twelfth Patriarch, Bodhi Season's Turmoil!

Zhao Qing was secretly pondering this in his heart.

However, judging from the fact that the incense offerings were not deliberately concealed, one could probably guess that the Lord of Shattered Stars might not be present.

Even more so... Bodhi Ji Kuanglan knew less than he did, and was unaware that the person diagonally opposite him was the Purple Pearl Medicine Master.

Otherwise, he would never have such an aura.

joke.

Even if Ji Kuanglan gains the trust of the sect leader, he is still a cultivator of the same generation as Sister Zhang.

If he knew that the Master of Purple Pearl Pavilion was right across from him, how could he be so carefree, leisurely looking around...?

in the hall.

The silence was so profound you could hear a pin drop; the atmosphere was incredibly eerie.

The arrival of the Sixth Patriarch went unnoticed by anyone; the other patriarchs remained silent, seemingly waiting for something.

Zhao Qing was caught in the middle of the situation and wasn't sure whether he hadn't given himself away or whether the other party simply couldn't be bothered with him.

He decided to pay special attention to the changes in the three people's expressions.

Firstly, the three ancestors at the head of the table, as the true rulers of the Nangong clan and the immortal lords supported by Suixing Liyan, naturally set the tone for the situation.

Secondly, the Eighth Patriarch is located to my right.

The Purple Pearl Pavilion Master sent me a message and did not support Xiao Jian and Lei Huang's ascension to power, clearly indicating that he was opposed to the Shattered Star Lord and could be considered a temporary ally.

Thirdly, there are the twelve ancestors located directly opposite him.

The reason for paying attention to Ji Kuanglan was to try to figure out how many monsters were in the main hall at this moment from the expression of this Five Paths cultivator.

As for the young master of Tianxiang Pavilion, Zhao Qing had no interest in paying attention to him.

Firstly, he didn't know why the other party had come.

The Medicine Master did not specify.

He was probably there on behalf of the Lord of Yaohua Palace to check on the situation here.

Judging from his demeanor, that Chengjun didn't care about Xiao Jianlei's ascension to the throne, nor did he care whether the Nangong family had actually sought out Qingjun.

Zhao Qing pondered this in his heart, and together with Si He, they made their own guesses.

At this time, although there were quite a few ancestral tablets seated in the Mingxin Hall, there weren't many strangers...

I don't know Erzu well, and I don't know if he's using an alternate account.

As for the Third Patriarch, he definitely made his appearance in his true form. I've heard of him and have been studying him recently.

The position of the Fourth Patriarch was vacant.

Wu Zu was an acquaintance of Si He; they had been to the Mountain and Sea Realm together.

The Sixth Patriarch was Zhao Qing himself.

The position of the Seventh Patriarch is vacant.

Zhao Qing had dealt with the Eighth Ancestor, the Purple Pearl Medicine Venerable, quite a few times, and even inherited his Nine Profound Palace.

The Ninth Ancestor seemed to know quite a lot. He looked somewhat reserved, silently bowing his head and remaining motionless, like a clay sculpture.

The position of the Tenth Patriarch is vacant.

The eleventh patriarch closed his eyes to meditate, his expression calm. One look at his aura and you could tell he was an imposter... but it was unclear which one he was.

The twelfth patriarch, Bodhi the wine monk, is suspected to be the instigator of the renaming of Hongtashan. He was once Sister Zhang's friend and Wuwang's fifth senior brother.

Zhao Qing had seen this person twice: once when he was sending Sister Zhang off outside the water ridge, and once when he saw the incense incarnation of this person at the Wanshenque.

The thirteenth ancestor, though old and frail, had a kind gaze and showed no sign of the dejection that comes with losing power... This is Nangong Yao's great-great-great-grandfather?

As for the fourteenth to seventeenth patriarchs, two of them were present, and the remaining two seats were empty.

The two people, a man and a woman, listened attentively with respect.

He was clearly a powerful cultivator who had reached the Void Refinement stage among the Nangong generation in recent millennia, possessing only the title of ancestor but not much decision-making power.

……

Time passed by, one breath at a time.

There was no movement inside the main hall.

Before long, it was dawn.

Following Zhao Qing, two more patriarchs arrived, filling the vacancies of the seventh and sixteenth patriarchs.

Zhao Qing's position has changed slightly.

On the left was still the Fifth Ancestor, while on the right was the newly arrived Seventh Ancestor, a man who immediately closed his eyes to rest after taking his seat.

It makes people feel unwarranted pressure.

Separated from this Seventh Ancestor, one can see the languid demeanor of the Purple Pearl Medicine Venerable.

Whenever Zhao Qing inadvertently glanced at the beautiful woman, she would exchange a knowing look with the man at the Void Refinement stage between them...

Two more hours passed.

Three poles in the sun.

at last.

The three patriarchs at the head chuckled and activated a vast restriction with a wave of their hands.

"Most of the points discussed today have been reached."

As the man spoke with a smile, he took out a bronze cauldron and placed it directly in the center of the hall!

A moment!

A sudden surge of oppressive power erupted within the hall, causing several powerful figures, including the Second Ancestor, the Eleventh Ancestor, the Twelfth Ancestor, and the Fourteenth Ancestor, to instantly change color!

Zhao Qing glanced at him and then silently glanced at the Medicine Master.

After realizing that the Medicine Master was not making any move, he naturally watched calmly as well.

In fact...

He had absolutely no idea what that cauldron was.

It was Si He's thoughts that came through, and the delivery aunt whispered as if she had just woken up!

"wrong!"

"He's rebellious..."

Rebellious! ?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing glanced at the Third Ancestor without thinking.

Almost instinctively, he looked at the thirteenth patriarch again...

For a fleeting moment, he probably understood...

Meanwhile, the young master of Tianxiang Tower on the left looked back and forth thoughtfully and with a hint of surprise.

Ji Kuanglan, sitting opposite him, frowned slightly and stared silently at the large cauldron in the hall.

"Nangong Ding".

"The treasure left behind by old man Nangong, this third brother has severed his connection with the outside world."

"In the defense of the star lord."

Before Sihe could speak, Huang Nu's explanation arrived.

Zhao Qing could already hear the playful laughter of the Purple Pearl Medicine Master... as if he were watching a show.

In this regard.

Zhao Qing remained calm and observed the overall situation.

He quickly assessed in his mind whether it was advantageous to him...

This is the situation we are in now.

Although it was an unexpected and shocking turn of events, it did not stop them from searching for Qingying.

The Third Ancestor... Lord of the Star Defense...

Zhao Qing remained silent, but he understood the general idea.

Within the Nangong family, there is another turbulent undercurrent!

This also means that the Star Lord is not here!

"call……"

"Awesome..."

Having reached this point, Zhao Qing had already grasped the situation in just a moment.

These are the Third Patriarch and the Thirteenth Patriarch!

The two immortal lords were wearing the same pair of pants!

They sold it to the Star Lord right away!

It will be sold right here in the Mingxin Hall!

This was all to protect the Nangong family and extricate them from the quagmire of the power struggle in Yujing!
