There were five people in Qian Chao's residence.
Qian Chao took the booklet given to her by Tang Ping's master and read it carefully. The mountains, rivers, geography, and anecdotes recorded in it deeply attracted him, but soon he was attracted by Tang Ping's conversation. .
"Da Qingzhou, where is that place? Is it far away?" Yanxuan asked curiously.
"I don't know," Tang Ping replied, "It's not our Central Continent, but somewhere in the vast sea there is such a large land. My master gave that map to Master Qiu, but my master only glanced at it twice. It is said that the painting looks like a small island, which is very simple, but my master said that you might be able to find the same spiritual beast as Xiaobai there."
Xiaobai and Dahuang were both enjoying the snacks on the plate at the table. Xiaobai looked up after hearing this.
Lu Pingchuan said:
"It's such a long way, and there's a sea below. How did your master get there? Did he take a boat?"
"I don't know..." Tang Ping replied.
"Of course not by boat," Qian Chao said generally, "Do you still remember the blind beetle killed by Qingluan? The formation we found in the blind beetle's cave was a teleportation array. I guess Your master, Patriarch Qiu, must not have gone to Daqingzhou by sea. That would be too time-consuming, and it is probably easy to get lost at sea. He should have used some kind of teleportation formation. With the teleportation formation, you can use it in an instant. The spiritual veins that stretch all over the world reach thousands of miles away.”
Of course Tang Ping still remembered the formation they discovered, but she still hesitated and asked:
"Didn't it mean that all the teleportation formations were destroyed after the Thousand Years of War?"
"If they are all destroyed, then how can we explain the one we found? It is impossible to destroy them all. Some will always be preserved. At least the six sects in the world should have their own formations. Patriarch Qiu went to Daqingzhou Maybe it’s the teleportation circle that our Five Spirits Sect has deployed ourselves.”
Lu Pingchuan's eyes lit up when he heard this and said:
"Hey, Brother Qian, we also know where the formation is. Can we use that formation to go to that big green continent to have a look?"
"Brother Lu, you can't do that," Tang Ping said angrily, "My master is a Nascent Soul cultivator. The first time we went to Daqingzhou, we almost lost our lives there. Aren't we just going to die?"
"Oh, that's right, it seems like it will have to happen in the future." Lu Pingchuan said.
Qian Chao said:
"Before, when we discovered the teleportation circle in the blind cave, we also discovered the star map of our Central Continent, but these alone are not enough. It would be great if we could get the star map all over the world, plus the big The star map of Qingzhou can determine the position of Daqingzhou and our Central Continent. Next, there will be a catalog of the movement of the spiritual veins in the world. Only when these are gathered together can the formation be started to teleport there. Well, I guess there must be a certain number in our sect. There is a more complete star map. Alas, I just don’t know what is the difference between the formation that Patriarch Qiu sent and the formations we have seen. Moreover, the transmission is not without cost. The activation of the formation must involve a lot of consumption. , otherwise Patriarch Qiu wouldn’t have only gone there twice.”
Li Jian had been listening by the side and said with some yearning:
"I really look forward to one day being able to set foot in a foreign land to see it, but... how long will it take to cultivate the Nascent Soul..."
Tang Ping said:
"So don't be in a hurry. Even if we visit all the places mentioned in the booklet my master gave us, it will take a long time! Okay, let's not talk about these. Let's talk about the things in front of us. It seems that the sect and The Tian family’s negotiations have come to fruition.”
"Oh, what's the result?" Qian Chao asked with concern.
"Well, according to what my sixth grandfather said, the Assembly Hall and Tian Jiang actually didn't come up with anything. Tian Jiang later made up his mind that even if he didn't have a son, he wouldn't let the Tian family's vitality be seriously damaged. The real deal was with those Nascent Souls on Yuhu Mountain. Patriarchs, I said at the beginning that several Yuanying-level monks from the Tian family have also come to the Wuling Sect. Tian Jiang is talking to the elders of the meeting hall below. The Yuanying monks from the Tian family are on Yuhu Mountain with those in the sect. The ancestors talked about it, and the Nascent Soul monks of the Tian family finally agreed to some conditions of the ancestors of Yuhu Mountain, but I don’t know the details. These are probably the core secrets of the sect. It is said that the news reached Tian Du’s ears. Although he didn't show anything at the time, my sixth grandfather said that he could see that Tian Jiang was very frustrated and angry, but that was all he could do. Under such circumstances, the Council finally let Tian Jiang go. But Tian Jiang finally proposed to take away all the Tian family’s children.”
"What!" Lu Pingchuan stopped immediately. "Then wouldn't our arrest of Tian Du be in vain?"
"No," Tang Ping said, "The sect has not let Tian Du go. All the Tian family children except Tian Du can return to the Tian family. Tian Du will continue to be imprisoned in our sect."
"That's pretty much it!" Lu Pingchuan said again.
"So it's a complete victory this time." Yanxuan said.
"This Tian Jiang is really willing to give up!" Li Jian said, "He doesn't even want to give up his own son."
"Tian family, hum," Qian Chao said, "By the way, I heard that Senior Tang intends to let the sect continue to support Tian Shuangyou, what will he do? Have you already talked with Tian Shuangyou in the past few days when he was imprisoned?"
"That's not true," Tang Ping said, "Tian Shuangyou came to us to deal with Tian Du. Cooperating with us is not betraying the Tian family. She said this clearly when she met her, so although she was dismissed by the sect, She was hit, but that’s why she can’t have any contact with her anymore. She must not act in advance. It’s too early now. If she does that, she will definitely be discovered when she returns to the Tian family. Anyway, she has the strength to compete for the head of the Tian family. The position is still far away, the sect can use this time to plan well. There is more than one Tian Shuangyou in the Tian family. Tian Du is imprisoned in our place. The characters in the Tian family who have been suppressed by Tian Jiang and Tian Du, the father and son, should become active. , even if Tian Du is put back one day in the future, at least Tian Du will no longer be able to compete with others in terms of cultivation. There must be someone among the younger generations of the Tian family who can be used. Of course, it is not to bribe them, but only to determine who can become Tian Shuangyou. Opponents, then help them secretly, which of course cannot be noticed by them, so it must be done secretly, and it is enough for them to gradually improve their status and become full-fledged within the Tian family. In this way, Tian Shuangyou will have many more opponents. There are many children in the Tian family, and there must be outstanding people among them. When Tian Shuangyou is alone or unable to support herself, she can come to us again after she came to us once, do you understand?"
Qian Chao and Li Jian nodded. They already understood that the sect must have hidden stakes in the Tian family.
Lu Pingchuan reluctantly understood and said:
"It's so troublesome."
Yanxuan frowned and said:
"This method is too...well...a little insidious."
Tang Ping said:
"The Tian family is definitely considered a big force, and our sect is even more so. This is the case with all the battles between big forces."
Lu Pingchuan thought of another person and asked:
"By the way, how do you deal with the kid named Jin Zhang you caught? You can't let him go, right?"
"The Lion Forest sent their No. 2 number two, who seems to be named Guo Shu, to discuss Jin Zhang's affairs with our Wuling Sect. I heard from my Sixth Grandpa that Lion Forest was very angry because of what Jin Zhang did. , almost gave up on him and let our Wuling Sect handle it, but Jin Zhang’s elders were unwilling and wanted to rescue Jin Zhang like he was bleeding heavily. They are now talking about it. I don’t know what the Lion Forest will pay for Jin Zhang. cost."
…
The Tian family and his party left the Wuling Sect one morning a few days later. Because Tang Ping got the news in advance, she encouraged several friends to go and see it together.
Tian Du, Tian Hao, Tian Qing, Tian Shuangyou, and Shi Que were the people sent by the Tian family before. These people did not have many friends in the Wuling Sect. People only knew that they were the Tian family. When they came, other than Except for the time when Tian Shuangyou challenged Qian Chao, which attracted attention, these people behind have been quiet and silent. Of course, it is not that they have done nothing, but that all their activities are carried out quietly in private, so they do not attract attention. People pay attention, and as time goes by, people will no longer pay attention to them, so their departure from Wuling Sect this time also did not attract much attention.
It was getting very early, and there were not many disciples by the Tianshui Lake at this time. Qian Chao and the other five were still waiting at the place where they last saw Tian Jiang entering the Five Spirits Sect. After waiting for a while, they saw a few people coming from the direction of the meeting hall. In front were Tian Jiang and several elders who came out of the meeting hall to see him off. At this time, seeing Tian Jiang and those elders still chatting and joking very lively, Qian Chao secretly thought that this man was a good man for the city. In his eyes, Tian Jiang did not show any resentment, dissatisfaction or depression because his son was imprisoned in the Wuling Sect. The expression on his face was extremely natural. When he said goodbye to the elders of the council who came to see him off at the dock, he seemed There is also a sense of reluctance.
Following Tian Jiang were four young people, Tian Du was not among them, only Tian Hao, Tian Qing, Tian Shuangyou and Shi Que.
Tian Shuangyou was still wearing a yellow skirt and silently followed Tian Jiang. Next to her was Shi Que. Both of them looked expressionless. After Tian Du's accident, Tian Shuangyou and Shi Que were indeed killed by Wu Ling. The people of the sect took him away. Although he was not imprisoned, he was under strict supervision. He was considered to be under house arrest. Today he is considered free.
Tian Hao looked very bad. Although he was not injured, he had been interrogated back and forth for a long time after being caught. Being interrogated by illusions was very mentally draining, so he looked downcast and listless;
The most embarrassed person was Tian Qing. He was the most unlucky that night. Unfortunately, he fell into the hands of Ma Hu. Ma Hu was worried that he would commit suicide by swallowing poison. He was worried that he might have poison in his teeth, hair or even ears, so he broke it off. He lost all his teeth and had his hair cut off. Now Tian Qing wears a hood to cover his head. When walking, he always lowers his head and follows behind. His face and expression cannot be seen clearly, but from his You can see the unlucky look from his actions and posture.
When he saw Tian Qing's appearance, Lu Pingchuan couldn't help but laugh and praised Ma Hu for his ability to do things.
On the small pier, Tian Jiang, with a smile on his face, led a few young people to salute the elders of the council who came to see him off, and then got on the boat.
And on that small pier, while Tian Jiang was talking to the elders of the Wuling Sect, Tian Shuangyou's eyes scanned the scene of the Wuling Sect in front of her. For her, this experience of the Wuling Sect will definitely be... It was a rare memory. She seemed to want to keep it all in mind. Suddenly, she accidentally saw Qian Chao and five people standing not too far away, watching Qian Chao attentively. They also confronted Qian Chao. After taking a glance and being slightly stunned, Tian Shuangyou stepped onto the ship.
Just after their boat left the small dock leisurely, Tian Shuangyou on the boat said something next to Tian Jiang, and then saw Tian Jiang standing on the bow of the boat suddenly looking back towards Qian Chao on the shore...
At the same time, Qian Chao immediately felt something. Two extremely cold eyes on the lake were piercing him, like two sharp spears piercing his face. The cultivation levels of Qian Chao and Tian Jiang were... There was a huge difference. Being stared at by Tian Jiang's cold, angry and murderous gaze, his heart was shocked. It was as if he had missed his footing on the edge of a cliff. His body suddenly started to shake and he was about to fall down!
Li Jian reacted the fastest and reached out to help Qian Chao on his back to help him stand firm.
Then Tian Jiang turned back and gradually went away with the boat.
"Brother Qian, Tian Jiang hates you very much!" Li Jian said from the side.
"Well, his son is imprisoned here. He doesn't know if or when he can go back, but Qian Boy is still alive and kicking. How can he not hate it!" Tang Ping also noticed Tian Jiang's actions just now.
Qian Chao had already stood firm, but he was still feeling the hatred in Tian Jiang's glance just now. After listening to Tang Ping's words, he said:
"There will be a lot of trouble with the Tian family in the future. I just hope that Tian Jiang will be gone by then!"
In the next few days, Tang Ping told several friends about Jin Zhang's story. She didn't know what benefits the Lion Forest had given the Wuling Sect. This time, the sect no longer held Jin Zhang accountable. Guo Shu was After achieving his goal, he left the Wuling Sect and returned, but surprisingly, Guo Shu did not take Jin Zhang away when he returned to the Lion Forest. According to Tang Ping, Jin Zhang was frightened to death as soon as he was released and begged Guo Shu to take him away. However, he was coldly rejected by the other party. Guo Shu told Jin Zhang that the only thing Lion Forest could do for Jin Zhang was to free him. He was guilty before but now he is innocent. He came to participate in the centenary ceremony. According to the rules, if he wanted to return to the Lion Forest, he had to fight back by himself. Then Guo Shu turned around. He ignored him and left, leaving Jin Zhang almost paralyzed on the ground.
Lu Pingchuan laughed loudly after hearing this, and kept asking how to participate in the centenary ceremony. When the time came, he would definitely go on stage to fight Jin Zhang and let out the bad breath in his chest.
A few days later, the sect's rewards were distributed, including Qian Chao's five people, including all the five spirit elites who contributed that night, and even Qian Chao discussed with Tang Ping and even helped Shang Jie who had been guarding the cold pool. The two also asked for a reward. This time the sect was surprisingly generous and the reward was extremely generous. Almost everyone was fooled when they opened the bag. They thought it was the sect's mistake. Later, they exchanged gifts. After asking around, he found out that everyone was like this, and it was not difficult for Qian Chao to guess that the sect must have benefited greatly from their dealings with Jing Jie, Jin Zhang and Tian Du this time.
After this incident, the reputation of Qian Chao and Tang Ping in the sect reached a new height. Not many disciples in the sect knew the inside story, but those who knew the whole story all looked at Qian Chao and Qian Chao in a different light. Especially those elite Qi refining disciples, they are now obedient to Qian Chao. The reason why they are so is not because they can get generous rewards by following Qian Chao and others, but because Qian Chao and the five people actually took over many years of experience in the Hengxing Sect. The big dandy Jing Jie was brought down. A person with a profound background like Jing Jie was actually abolished and expelled from the sect. This was something that no one expected. When the news spread, no one believed it at all, but when the news was confirmed After hearing the truth, all the dandies in the sect were shocked. Since then, they have restrained themselves a lot. Even if old habits are hard to change and there are occasional bad deeds, they will never dare to provoke the five Qian Chao people.
Of course, as ordinary dandies are like this, those big dandies who used to hang out with Jing Jie were even more wary of the five Qian Chao, especially Zong Xi. After learning about Jing Jie's fate, Zong Xi's face became gloomy. For several days, even Lou Qingyao didn't bother to pay attention. Lou Qingyao thought that Zong Xiang had lost interest in him and was worried for several days.
