Chapter 433: Matters Concerning Dantai
Bai Suzhen should be an top-tier existence within the snake clan!
At the very least, her bloodline must be of the highest caliber.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t dare make such bold statements.
Curious, he immediately asked, “So, Suzhen, what kind of bloodline do you possess within the snake clan?”
Originally, he intended to ask what species she belonged to.
But he felt that phrasing it that way might come off as impolite.
“That’s something you don’t need to concern yourself with.
All you need to know is that in most situations, I can protect you.”After a brief pause, she continued, “What I’m willing to tell you, I will naturally share.
As for what I’m not willing to disclose, there’s no point in asking.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Jingzhen saw a flash of white light on her body.
Bai Suzhen once again transformed back into a belt.
“Wait… we agreed that if I won, you’d grant me a request.
Suzhen, are you trying to go back on your word?”
As soon as he said this, Bai Suzhen’s voice echoed in his ear again.
“Just now, you asked me many questions, and I answered them all.
Doesn’t that count as fulfilling a request?”
Su Jingzhen was stunned, left speechless.
But knowing so much about the world’s secrets was enough for him for now.
Su Jingzhen grabbed the belt and his clothes before pushing the door open and stepping out.
He knew that during this time, many things would still be happening daily in Linjiang City.
Although Luo Yuebai could handle them on her own, there was no doubt it was a burdensome task.
Su Jingzhen was the kind of person who cared about others.
After thoroughly washing off the dried blood scabs on his body, Su Jingzhen immediately left his courtyard.
However, he didn’t reveal even the slightest trace of his aura.
As a Body Cultivator, if he didn’t fully unleash his power, no one would be able to discern his true strength.
After all, he followed the orthodox path.
Merely looking at his appearance, no one could tell what level of cultivation he had achieved.
Su Jingzhen understood well the importance of hiding one’s true abilities in the world of cultivation.
As soon as he stepped out of his courtyard, he encountered an old acquaintance.
Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator, Mo Bei!
This guy hadn’t shown up in front of him for a long time.
“Chief Acolyte, the Sect Master wants you to go to the main hall.
It seems the Sect Master has sent several urgent messages to you through a demonic insect, but you haven’t responded.”
Mo Bei spoke respectfully.
Su Jingzhen was momentarily taken aback.
Earlier, he had been busy with his breakthrough.
Although the demonic insect messenger was small, it was still a type of demonic beast.
It must have been too frightened to enter the room due to the overwhelming dragon aura that had filled the space.
He glanced up at the sky.
He hadn’t realized that the time spent consuming those two drops of North Sea Dragon blood had nearly stretched to midday.
“I understand.”
After acknowledging Mo Bei, Su Jingzhen headed towards the main hall.
“What could be so urgent?”
Though many things had been happening lately, most had little to do with him, and Luo Yuebai had handled them on her own.
In fact, most matters didn’t even require Luo Yuebai’s attention.
While musing to himself, he quickly arrived at the main hall.
Several demonic cultivators were standing at the entrance, all of whom greeted him with respectful bows.
Upon entering, he once again saw a group of familiar faces.
The Flowing Wind Sword Sect and Lingxiu Pavilion had arrived together!
The two Nascent Soul cultivators he had previously encountered in Yunmeng City were leading the delegation from the two sects.
They nodded at Su Jingzhen with a friendly gesture.
“The Flowing Wind Sword Sect and Lingxiu Pavilion are here for the same purpose as Spirit Sound Valley.
The details were mostly settled earlier.
I just wanted to let you know.”
Originally, Luo Yuebai had intended to discuss the matter with Su Jingzhen together.
However, after sending two consecutive messages without receiving a response, she decided to handle it herself.
After all, both the Flowing Wind Sword Sect and Lingxiu Pavilion, like Spirit Sound Valley, were top-tier forces within Qingzhou.
Their arrival would undoubtedly accelerate the development of Linjiang City.
In fact, Lingxiu Pavilion’s influence was arguably the strongest among all the top-tier forces in Qingzhou.
There was no reason to refuse their presence.
Su Jingzhen nodded.
He had no objections, as this was undoubtedly a good thing.
Although he arrived late, he had nonetheless witnessed the conclusion of this significant matter.
The group did not stay in the meeting hall for too long.
Representatives from Flowing Wind Sword Sect and Lingxiu Pavilion also hurried to choose their locations.
The establishment of a branch sect was a significant event.
Luo Yuebai also promised that if these two forces encountered difficulties in establishing the branch, Evil Moon Sect would offer assistance.
After they left, only Luo Yuebai and Su Jingzhen remained in the grand hall.
In front of Su Jingzhen, Luo Yuebai revealed her true nature.
Her eyes were filled with excitement.
“The four top forces within the Yunmeng City system are now all cooperating with my Linjiang Branch.
The Evil Moon Sect’s resurgence hasn’t encountered the anticipated resistance or sabotage from the major righteous sects.
Instead, the major righteous sects have all extended olive branches to us.
The landscape of Qingzhou has indeed changed.
I have a feeling that once all the top forces have aligned themselves, the landscape of Qingzhou will undergo another major transformation.”
Su Jingzhen nodded. “These few families in the Yunmeng City region already account for a significant portion of Qingzhou’s top forces.
If we work hard, attracting seven or even eight tenths should be no problem.”
Although Su Jingzhen said this, he actually didn’t care much about these top forces in Qingzhou.
He had bigger ambitions.
In his view, within half a year, he could directly help Luo Yuebai establish dominance.
Perhaps turning Linjiang City into the central city of the cultivation world might be difficult.
But making Linjiang City the center of Qingzhou region was, in Su Jingzhen’s eyes, no small feat.
He was confident that within a year, it would be the time for Luo Yuebai and Zou Zeyu to determine the victor, and also the time for Linjiang City to stand at the peak of Qingzhou.
This was the promise he made to himself.
After breaking through to the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage, his state of mind had indeed undergone a change.
After exchanging a few more words with Luo Yuebai in the grand hall, Su Jingzhen smiled and said, “Come find me tonight, or I’ll come find you.”
If it weren’t for the early hour, Su Jingzhen would have already wanted to test the combat effectiveness of that aspect after his breakthrough to the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage.
After all, he could now be considered a Heavenly Dragon person.
His physique and all aspects had seen significant enhancements.
Without waiting for Luo Yuebai’s response, he directly left the grand hall.
As soon as he stepped out of the hall’s doors, a line of golden small characters appeared before his eyes.
【Emotional Connection+15】
【Remaining usable points: 180】
This was Luo Yuebai’s response to his words.
A surge of joy filled his heart, making him even more restless.
……
When he had emerged from the canyon before, Xuening and the others had given him a batch of pills and a list of required medicinal herbs.
He was going to Feng Qingya today to settle this matter.
In fact, he had already wanted to tell Luo Yuebai about his breakthrough to the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage.
That way, he would definitely be able to get a considerable number of points from Luo Yuebai.
But he held back.
His strength had increased too drastically.
And in the current Qingzhou region, his strength wasn’t yet enough to dominate everything.
Being able to delay for a while was a good thing.
When the day came that he could control the affairs of Qingzhou, he could be completely unrestrained.
Even if countless people would still be puzzled by the speed of his strength increase at that time, it wouldn’t matter.
……
This time, Su Jingzhen left Evil Moon Sect without Shen Yifeng accompanying him.
And his mode of travel was still ostentatious.
He even had a somewhat provocative attitude.
He did want to test the combat effectiveness of his current Flesh Body Nascent Embryo second-layer strength.
So he hoped that the remaining four members of Six Heavenly Generals would come out to besiege him.
Anyway, with Bai Suzhen around, even if they couldn’t win, at least his life would be safe.
Su Jingzhen directly rode his sword around Linjiang City.
His arrogant demeanor was as if he was holding a loudspeaker and shouting: I’m here, come and get me.
On the one hand, he was trying to provoke Six Heavenly Generals.
On the other hand, he also wanted to take a good look at Linjiang City today and see what it had become.
It had been too long since he had observed the entirety of Linjiang City.
He hadn’t looked at it before, but once he did, Su Jingzhen was incredibly surprised.
Today’s Linjiang City had expanded several times over compared to before.
Many directions were bustling with construction.
After learning that the Alchemist Association had established a branch ten miles away, Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai had guessed that the area between them would soon become a city district.
And now, that trend was already evident.
Top powers like Spirit Sound Valley and Lingxiu Pavilion would come to pay their respects if they were planning to establish branches here.
Those less prominent forces, however, didn’t even bother with greetings and directly took over the land.
The Linjiang Branch was too lazy to bother with these forces.
But for these less reputable forces, the Evil Moon Sect naturally wouldn’t intervene.
So, as Su Jingzhen patrolled these areas,
He actually discovered several skirmishes.
And they were the kind that involved wiping out entire families.
“What’s the point of all this?”
Su Jingzhen sighed and continued flying on his sword.
He had no intention of getting involved in these matters.
Unknowingly, Su Jingzhen had flown to a mountaintop.
The mountain gate was quite exquisite, not grand in scale, with the words “Alchemist Association” inscribed on it.
The Alchemist Association had caused quite a stir at the Evil Moon Sect last time.
They were still quite resentful about not getting Xuening.
Su Jingzhen and the others knew they had established a branch here to target their Dan Hall.
Although Su Jingzhen didn’t take this matter to heart,
He figured they wouldn’t be welcoming, so he was about to turn around.
But a streak of light suddenly shot out from the Alchemist Association.
“Since you’re already here, why don’t you come in and have a chat, Master Su?”
It was none other than Ye Zhiqiu, another acquaintance of Su Jingzhen.
She was now the head of this branch.
Ye Zhiqiu was still as graceful as ever, with a smile on her face.
“Miss Ye, long time no see,”
Su Jingzhen returned the greeting with a clasped fist and a smile.
“Our Alchemist Association has established this branch for quite some time now, but the initial setup has kept us quite busy.
Even Zhiqiu hasn’t had the time to visit the Evil Moon Sect yet.
I hope Master Su won’t mind.”
Ye Zhiqiu was telling the truth.
Establishing a new sect wasn’t as simple as outsiders perceived.
Especially for Ye Zhiqiu, who had no experience with such matters as the head of the branch.
Most importantly, Ouyang Mingyue, the Vice President, harbored some resentment towards the Evil Moon Sect.
But Ye Zhiqiu didn’t.
In fact, after their Alchemist Association branch stabilized, Ye Zhiqiu intended to collaborate with the Linjiang Branch on some matters.
She wasn’t planning to follow Vice President Ouyang’s instructions.
“The Alchemist Association has peacefully settled here and has nothing to do with my Evil Moon Sect.
I wouldn’t possibly have any objections,”
Su Jingzhen said this politely.
Ye Zhiqiu sighed: “It seems Master Su still holds some resentment over the Xuening matter.
Actually, my master, Vice President Ouyang, had no ulterior motives regarding Xuening.
He just didn’t want to see her exceptional alchemy talent go to waste.
Although Zhiqiu knows it’s just unnecessary worry,
Zhiqiu still hopes to collaborate with your Dan Hall on alchemy matters.”
These words surprised Su Jingzhen.
Before he could respond, Ye Zhiqiu continued: “Even if Master Su hadn’t happened to be here today, Zhiqiu would have gone to find you.”
Su Jingzhen inquired curiously: “What brings Miss Ye to seek me out?”
Ye Zhiqiu nodded: “Today, I received a message from the Alchemist Association, or rather, from my master.
In the past two days, something significant has happened in the Qingzhou region that concerned the alchemists.
It’s about the Dantai Clan!”
