“The Alliance Hierarch is right. The general alliance has too many members, and information is likely to be leaked. This matter involves the highest-level secret of our Yuzhou Alliance, so it can’t be divulged. I strongly support the Alliance Hierarch’s decision!”

The Right Protector spoke seriously.

“That’s right. The rise of our Yuzhou Alliance is at hand. The general alliance has a complicated membership, and our resources such as elixirs are limited. They are not enough to support everyone. If the general alliance comes asking, where can we get enough to meet their demand? Therefore, I strongly support all the decisions of the Alliance Hierarch!”

The Left Protector also voiced his agreement.

With both the Left and Right Protectors speaking up, the rest of the people present also showed their enthusiasm and expressed strong support.

At this moment, they understood that they have the advantage of elixirs to aid in their cultivation if they follow Fang Hao. If this news leaks to the general alliance, how much would they be able to divide among themselves?

Moreover, control of these resources, including the elixirs, is all in the hands of Fang Hao, their Alliance Hierarch.

For the strengthening of the Yuzhou Alliance, and to raise their personal strength to the next level, they must strongly support the Alliance Hierarch!

“Very good!”

Fang Hao nodded approvingly. He was pleased with everyone’s high awareness.

He presented another bottle of elixirs.

“As long as everyone works together, contributing to the strengthening of the Yuzhou Alliance, striving to be on par with the spiritual sects and the aristocratic families in Yuzhou, there will certainly be elixirs. Everyone’s strength must inevitably advance!”

Fang Hao encouraged everyone.

Then, he handled the matter of the spiritual mine to the Left and Right Protectors, gave them the Array Plate for controlling the formation within the spiritual mine, and taught them how to use the Array Plate.

“Always keep an eye on the movements of the spiritual sects and noble families, especially the Jade Spirit Sect. Stay in touch!”

After Fang Hao delegated these tasks, he left with Xu Yan and Meng Chong.

The gains from the Jade Spirit Sect still needed to be sorted out.

Li Xuan observed everything quietly, praising internally that his disciples were finally becoming independent.

What disappointed him slightly was that after killing the Refining God Heavenly Man of Jade Spirit Sect, the Daoist Golden Book only gave God-Destruction experience instead of an actual God-Destruction.

The retaliation from the Jade Spirit Sect was sure to come.

Instead of continuing to follow, Li Xuan turned and returned to the manor.

“The Jade Spirit Sect is quite formidable, having hidden their core treasury so deeply that even I did not discover it.”

Li Xuan expressed his admiration inwardly.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong had only seized one core treasury of Jade Spirit Sect, but the Jade Spirit Sect surely has more than one core treasury.

Even he did not find the remaining core treasuries.

“Is it hidden within the mountain?”

Li Xuan wondered to himself.

If that really was the case, they would not be able to seize all the core treasuries unless they obliterated Jade Spirit Sect.

When Xu Yan and Meng Chong met Shen Haizhou again at the agreed location, they were taken aback.

At this moment, Shen Haizhou’s face was swollen and bruised. His slightly plump face now looked even plumper, as if he had gained weight overall.

“Young Master Shen, what happened to you? Who beat you?”

Fang Hao exclaimed in surprise.

“I was beaten by my father.”

Shen Haizhou had an expression of gloom.

“Is it because of us?”

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow and asked.

Did Shen Haizhou get beaten because his information leaks were discovered?

Shen Haizhou shook his head: “It has nothing to do with you.”

Then his spirit raised, and he revealed an eager and slightly devious expression, saying, “Fang Hao, one Spring Night Mirror is not enough. I need three. I’ll provide the materials!”

“One is enough. All are condensed into one, which is enough for your entertainment, Young Master Shen.”

Fang Hao shook his head.

The one he was going to refine was not the previous type of Spring Night Mirror.

He planned to refine prohibition and illusions within it, ensuring Shen Haizhou could lose himself in it and not pull himself out!

“One is not enough for sharing.”

Shen Haizhou sighed, took out a treasure storage bag, and handed it to Fang Hao, saying, “Fang Hao, refine three – no less. This holds treasures gathered over three generations of my family: it’s all here.”

Fang Hao: …

Xu Yan and Meng Chong: …

Looking at Shen Haizhou’s strange expression, they understood that this peculiar hobby of Shen Haizhou’s was hereditary.

“Alright.”

Fang Hao agreed, marveling to himself.

To refine this kind of thing shouldn’t take many resources or a lot of time.

“Brother Shen, you contributed a lot this time. You will get a share of the loot. Since I promised to give you elixirs if we get the Earth Spirit Flower, I won’t break my word.”

Xu Yan said with a smile.

They made a huge harvest from this excursion to the Jade Spirit Sect.

The group of four set off back to the manor.

Shen Haizhou spoke: “The Jade Spirit Sect has contacted the spiritual sects and noble families in Yuzhou. They are scrutinizing the Loose Cultivators in Yuzhou, focusing mainly on the major Loose Cultivators.”

“Next, there could be more commotion. You all need to hide well.”

“That’s to be expected.”

Fang Hao chuckled.

The members of the All Ages Alliance have already scattered and hidden themselves.

Back in the mansion, Shen Haizhou looks stunned. Xu Yan and Meng Chong had been hiding right here, and no one had noticed?

It was simply unthinkable!

Soon, he also noticed something unusual.

He felt thrilled about winning Xu Yan’s favor. It was definitely the best decision he had ever made.

Su Lingxiu excitedly greeted them.

“Senior brother, junior brother, you’re finally back. How did it go?”

Shen Haizhou stared at Su Lingxiu with wide eyes, a shy look on his chubby face.

“Who is he?”

Su Lingxiu curiously looked at Shen Haizhou, whose whole face was bruised and pitiful-looking.

“Shen Haizhou!”

Xu Yan introduced him.

“Nice to meet you, Miss Su!”

Shen Haizhou hurriedly tries to maintain a serious look.

“No need for formalities. Take this pill.”

Su Lingxiu waved her hand, throwing Shen Haizhou a pill, and added, “Your bruise will heal after you eat this.”

Shen Haizhou was doubtful. The bruises on his face, after all, were caused by his own father’s beating. His father, as a Refining God expert, had left a residue of his power.

His face had been intentionally made to stay swollen for a short time, as a form of punishment.

Could this pill really heal his wounds?

After swallowing the pill, Shen Haizhou saluted: “I appreciate your kindness, miss. However, this wound was intentional, left by my father, a Refining God martial artist’s…”

“Holy cow, it worked?”

Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Haizhou felt a cool sensation on his face and realized his bruising had disappeared. He was shocked.

“Don’t be so surprised, even if you were about to die, my junior sister could still save you!”

Xu Yan joyfully said.

“Come, come, let’s count the treasures from the Jade Spirit Sect!”

Xu Yan took out his storage jar and began to count the treasures from the Jade Spirit Sect.

Moreover, there was a pile of treasure bags, all belonging to the deacons and disciples. As members of the top sect in Yuzhou, none of them would be poor.

The bounty this time was monumental.

Shi’er, Meng Shushu, and Zhou Ying also joined in the exciting counting.

The Red Cat was also excited. Seeing so many spiritual medicines, it was vigorously acting cute in front of Su Lingxiu. It no longer had to worry about running out of medicine.

As Xu Yan and the others were counting the bounty, Yuzhou was in an uproar.

The top sect in Yuzhou had been attacked like it was raided by bandits, completely plundered.

Even the core treasure vault had been emptied.

The losses were unimaginable!

“They are our role models!”

“I don’t know why, but I’m particularly excited today. Even my cultivation is full of passion!”

“They deserved it! The Jade Spirit Sect is getting its comeuppance!”

“Shh, don’t discuss this. Be careful of getting caught!”

The martial artists in Yuzhou were buzzing with chitchat. Both the loose cultivators and the martial artists from the aristocratic Spirit Sects took delight in the Jade Spirit Sect’s misfortune.

Seeing the Jade Spirit Sect suffer made them happier than improving their own powers.

Meanwhile, within the Jade Spirit Sect, the deacons and disciples were filled with gloom. Their treasure bags were stolen, and all the resources they had painstakingly gathered for cultivation were gone in an instant.

As for the sect’s treasure vault being emptied, that was for the sect master and elders to worry about. After all, the things in the vault weren’t theirs, but the things in their treasure bags were!

Zhu Liang and other strong members of the Jade Spirit Sect had bloodshot eyes and murderous looks. They wished to dig three feet into the ground to find the thieves and pulverize them!

However, they all knew it was impossible to find the perpetrators!

How frustrating!

The top sect in Yuzhou, when had they ever felt such humiliation?

“Xu Yan and Meng Chong must die! No matter the cost!”

Zhu Liang gritted his teeth and said.

“Yes, at all costs, we must kill him!”

The Jade Spirit Sect Master angrily said.

“I’ll contact Sect Master Xing immediately. I’ll have the Red Sky Lineage come to Yuzhou and initiate the Chosen War to lure out Xu Yan. Even if the Red Sky Lineage cannot kill him, we must not let him escape.

“Once he shows up, if he wants to hide again, that will be wishful thinking!”

Zhu Liang said with murderous intent.
