Chapter 221 The Scheme of the Two Saints
The two saints are currently unable to leave Tianxing City, and the situation is being maintained entirely by the elders of the Star Palace.
Without the intervention of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, how can they possibly reclaim the twenty-four outer islands?
It would be good enough if they could hold onto the inner twelve star islands, that small piece of land.
"Heh, trying to put on airs with me."
Qingfeng chuckled, put away the golden flower talisman in his hand, and increased his speed again.
Since he learned how to make Golden Flower Talismans, he has also mastered the supernatural ability of short-distance teleportation.
Although it was quite costly, it still gave him the ability to escape from cultivators at the Yuanhou level.
He dared to play like this because he tested it out when he sparred with his father.
Even with his father's Shrinking Earth Technique and Lightning Escape, it would take two hours to catch him.
In the two hours that followed, he had already left the area of Tianxing City.
He didn't intend to finalize a cooperation agreement in one go when he came to Tianxing City.
First show sincerity, then demonstrate strength, so that the two saints understand their own situation and stop acting so arrogantly.
You think you can show off to me and take advantage of me? That's impossible.
If they back down, then let's have a proper talk; a compromise would benefit both sides.
If they try to take a hard line, then the Star Palace will have to bear it.
Anyway, he won't let Ling Yuling go back. Once the deed is done, what can the two saints do?
If he has offspring, this star palace lineage will not belong to his children.
"Alas, the higher one's cultivation level, the less likely one is to have offspring."
Qingfeng shook his head; having children was indeed quite difficult.
Once this matter is settled, I will return to my Daoist partners and engage in more dual cultivation to see if I can conceive a child.
……
In Tianxing City, atop the sacred mountain, inside the Twin Saints Palace.
Wen Qing and Ling Xiaofeng waited for a long time, but Jin Kui did not return. Their expressions became increasingly subtle.
"Madam, do you think... that boy might really not be coming back?"
Ling Xiaofeng looked at his wife and asked.
Wen Qing remained silent, her fingers lightly tapping the armrest of the seat.
Outside the hall, a beautiful woman dressed in Star Palace attire strode in.
"Brother and Sister, Jin Kui has sent word that Young Master Qingfeng has left Tianxing City and, after meeting up with his father, Master Sanyang, he is flying north."
He has already followed them and asked me to tell you both that the matter will be handled properly, so please rest assured.
Elder Gui bowed and reported.
"That brat..."
Wen Qing's lips twitched.
"Okay, we understand. Seventh Junior Sister, you've worked hard. Go back and get some rest."
Ling Xiaofeng waved his hand.
"Senior brother, senior sister, I have something else to report."
Elder Gui hesitated for a moment, but decided to report it now.
"Little Seven, have you made any progress on those parasites within the Star Palace?"
Wen Qing's eyes turned cold.
"Yes, all the suspects we can confirm are on this list."
Elder Gui presented a jade slip.
Wen Qing took the jade slip, which contained a list of names. The person at the top of the list was none other than Zou Wen, Elder Zou, who was in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
Behind him were several Star Palace elders at the early Nascent Soul stage.
"Okay, I understand. I will handle this personally. Don't alert them for now. You were all seriously injured in this battle, so go back and recover properly."
Wen Qing put away the jade slip, then took out a bottle of rare healing pills and handed it to Elder Gui.
"Yes, Xiao Qi will take her leave now."
He accepted the pills, bowed, and withdrew from the main hall.
Only the two remained in the hall, and the two saints fell silent once again.
"A bunch of traitors, we've already given them a chance. My husband, the corruption within the Star Palace has reached its roots; it's time for a major purge."
Wen Qing said in a cold voice.
"Madam, if we kill all the people on the list, we will lose almost a third of our manpower."
"Not to mention reclaiming the twenty-four outer star islands, we're probably short-staffed even for the twelve inner star islands."
Ling Xiaofeng frowned deeply.
"Isn't this perfect? That brat Qingfeng wants us to give up a few inner star islands for him."
We'll make him the perfect tool to wipe out the corrupt families on the list. They can't just kidnap my daughter without our help.
Wen Qing's lips curled up as she finally came up with a plan to retaliate against Qing Feng.
"Madam is right. This way, our inaction will reduce the sense of insecurity among everyone within the Star Palace."
Anyway, it's that brat who got the bad reputation; when Yu Ling takes over the Star Palace later, he'll receive more support.
Ling Xiaofeng nodded, agreeing with his wife's plan.
"Sigh, this kid is already at the early stage of Nascent Soul at such a young age. Given time, he will probably become a late stage Nascent Soul cultivator."
The Three Yang Old Demon is a bit younger than us; it would be good if he passed away alongside us.
I fear that after we both pass away, Qingyang Sect will become the second sect in this chaotic star sea to have two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
By then, all our plans will have been in vain.
Wen Qing sighed.
Qingfeng's terrifying talent and temperament made her quite wary.
"Madam, if we forcibly use the secret method of empowerment before we pass away, we can raise Yu Ling's cultivation to the mid-Nascent Soul stage."
If it were then, Qingfeng would already be a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and he would definitely be seeking a way to reach the Divine Transformation realm.
"We might as well trick him into cultivating the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, and let him stay in this Heavenly Star City forever to guard the Star Palace."
Ling Xiaofeng calculated.
"This method is feasible. When the time comes, we can say that we are staying here to cultivate the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light because we haven't mastered it yet."
If one cultivates to the highest level, one can master the power of primordial magnetism, break through to the Nascent Soul realm, roam the heavens and earth, and ascend to the upper realm!
Wen Qing nodded and said.
"Even if that kid is cunning and doubts the truth of this matter, I don't believe he can resist the temptation of reaching the Nascent Soul realm."
Ling Xiaofeng's brows relaxed.
The two exchanged a smile and agreed that the plan was feasible.
……
While the two saints were plotting against Qingfeng, wanting him to be trapped in Tianxing City and serve the Star Palace.
Qingfeng and his father have returned to the viewing platform.
At this time, the cultivators from the neutral forces were all meditating and resting near the viewing platform, having waited there for a long time.
If the bearded man doesn't speak, who among them would dare to leave first?
If they are seen as disobeying Qingyang Sect, their sect's forces will likely be directly classified as members of the Reverse Star Alliance.
Then we'll be facing the Three Yang Old Demon, who can kill even a Yuan Hou cultivator.
"They're here!"
"Quickly! Master Sanyang is here, get up quickly."
Sensing the presence of Qingfeng and his companion, the group of cultivators quickly put on smiles and warmly greeted them.
"Fellow Daoists, I apologize for keeping you waiting. My father and I have been discussing some matters with the Two Saints in Tianxing City these past few days. Please don't mind."
Qingfeng said in a calm tone.
When the cultivators heard that they were discussing matters with the two saints, they dared not voice any objections.
They couldn't afford to offend three Grandmaster-level cultivators.
"Young Master Qingfeng is too kind. I have had a very pleasant conversation with Elder Man these past few days."
Zhao Tiangang, the vice sect master of Tianhao Sect, quickly cupped his hands and said.
Among the neutral cultivators here, he has the highest cultivation level.
Seeing that he had taken the lead, five Nascent Soul protectors from the four major merchant alliances and three Nascent Soul elders from the Hundred Poisons Sect followed.
They all expressed that they had reached an agreement with the barbarian and were willing to follow the lead of Qingyangmen from now on.
