“I guess I don’t need to go in here?”
Standing at the entrance of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Luo Yuebai smiled at Su Jingzhen.
“If I were to go in with you, things might get a little more complicated.
It’s better if you go alone, cleanly and quickly.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen was taken aback.
He smiled back, “You are the sect master, and this matter is being handled on behalf of our Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect.
For a mere Chief Acolyte to step in would be overstepping the rank.”
Normally, if Su Jingzhen had business at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, he wouldn’t need Luo Yuebai because of his relationship with Feng Qingya.
However, times were different now.
Luo Yuebai again fell silent for a moment.
“Alright.”
Then, the two of them walked directly into the Treasure Gathering Pavilion together.
The atmosphere inside was the same as always.
The first floor was crowded with people, all patiently standing in line.
No one dared to cause trouble inside the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
“Hey, that’s the Sect Master of the Linjiang Branch’s Evil Moon Sect and the Chief Acolyte!”
“They’ve come to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion together, it seems that there are a lot of Nascent Soul and even Soul Formation level cultivators who have infiltrated Linjiang City.
And their target is the two of them.”
“I’m afraid their visit to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion this time isn’t just for trading.”
“….”
When the two of them entered the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, they immediately became the center of attention.
The whispers of the crowd seemed to reveal a lot. In just one day, a lot of information had spread.
Ignoring the murmurs, Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai headed straight for the stairs leading to the second floor.
The restrictions here opened directly upon sensing Su Jingzhen’s aura, allowing the two of them to ascend to the second floor without any hindrance.
Feng Qingya was still sitting on the luxurious chair as usual, leaning back with a crystal cup in her hand.
However, this time, she seemed to have anticipated that Su Jingzhen would not come alone.
Her clothes were noticeably more conservative, even covering her body more tightly.
Surprisingly, even Elder Mu was present, standing behind her.
Seeing Feng Qingya like this as soon as they stepped onto the second floor, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Jingzhen’s eyes.
“Miss Feng, are you waiting for us on purpose?”
Su Jingzhen took the initiative to greet her.
Feng Qingya smiled, “I thought you would arrive around noon.
It seems like you’re a little late. But it’s a surprise to have Sect Master Luo here in person.
Such a rare guest, such a rare guest indeed.”
After speaking, Feng Qingya stretched lazily, revealing her perfect figure.
“For business matters, we still have to go to the old place.”
Without waiting for Su Jingzhen or Luo Yuebai to answer, Feng Qingya went to the private room that Su Jingzhen was familiar with.
Although Feng Qingya was dressed modestly this time, her every step exuded a seductive charm.
This was in stark contrast to Luo Yuebai’s current icy and calm demeanor, creating a palpable tension.
Seeing this, Luo Yuebai frowned and cursed secretly.
Although the rivalry between the two of them had largely subsided, Luo Yuebai still felt uncomfortable facing Feng Qingya directly.
After settling into the private room, Feng Qingya smiled at them again and said directly, “First of all, congratulations to your Linjiang branch for your recent gains from the Dantai Ruins.
If there’s anything you don’t need, Feng Qingya welcomes Master Su to trade with me.
The price, as always, will be preferential.”
This woman was indeed a pure businesswoman, never missing an opportunity to mention her business.
Su Jingzhen replied with a smile, “Trade matters are of course a priority.
However, it’s not the main reason for our visit this time.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Qingya’s lips curled into another seductive smile, “Qingya naturally knows.
Therefore, if my guess is correct, my Feng family ancestor, Feng Xuan, should already be on his way to Linjiang City.”
As she spoke, Feng Qingya sat up straighter, her seductive smile slightly subdued.
Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai exchanged a surprised look.
“What do you mean, Miss Feng?”
Luo Yuebai asked directly.
As a sect master, she couldn’t just stand by and watch at this point.
Feng Qingya continued, “Even though our Yunmeng City Treasure Gathering Pavilion didn’t participate in the Dantai Ruins this time, we are not completely unaware of what happened there.
And the matter of the Dantai Ruins isn’t over just because the various factions have left. Within the next three days, the Linjiang branch will probably become the target of all the powers in Qingzhou and surrounding states.”
Feng Qingya’s words hung heavy in the air, leaving Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai speechless.
This situation was obvious to anyone with even a modicum of insight.
Feng Qingya continued, “And my Feng family is not a forgetful or ungrateful family.
Regarding the matter in Yunmeng City, the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect has shown kindness to my Feng family. At this time, my Feng family is willing to abandon our detached state and stand with your Linjiang branch.”
Feng Qingya’s words were powerful and carried immense gravity.
“Master Luo and Master Su, please don’t think that our Feng family are just merchants who only care about profit. We are humans first, cultivators second, and merchants third.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yuebai showed a slight flicker of emotion.
However, she remained silent.
She understood the principle of empty words carrying no weight.
Seeing this, Feng Qingya didn’t beat around the bush. She pointed to the sky, then to the ground, and made a solemn oath.
“Ancestor Feng Xuan will arrive soon, and then Master Su and Master Luo will have no reason to doubt us.”
She paused and added, “Ancestor Feng Xuan has already returned to his former peak state and reached the Divine Intent Realm. With a small but elite force, I believe that Ancestor Feng Xuan and Senior Shen will be enough to solve most of the problems.”
The words “Divine Intent Realm” shocked both Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai.
The strongest individuals revealed during this expedition to the Dantan Ruins were only at the late stage of the out-of-body realm.
Su Jingzhen had never met a cultivator at the Divine Intent Realm.
If that were true, then with Feng Xuan and Shen Yifeng, they would indeed be able to intimidate most powers.
Seeing the change in Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai’s expressions, a hint of curiosity appeared in Feng Qingya’s eyes.
She asked again, “However, the latest news circulating is that there is a spiritual vein on Clear Wind Mountain that has reached the stage of spiritual energy liquefaction. Is this true?”
Her words made Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai’s hearts tremble once again.
They knew that the Six Heavenly Generals would inevitably leak the news about the spiritual vein.
They hadn’t expected the Treasure Gathering Pavilion to receive the news so quickly.
It seemed like the progress of this event would be greatly accelerated.
Luo Yuebai smiled, “Spiritual veins occur naturally. If there really was a spiritual vein in the Linjiang City area, why would the spiritual energy be so thin?”
“Besides, when you received this news, you must have already sent people to investigate, right? Why are you asking us again?”
Luo Yuebai’s tone was nonchalant, but Feng Qingya wasn’t offended.
She asked again, “It’s precisely because I haven’t found anything during the investigation that I subconsciously asked. The news is too precise, it’s hard not to believe it.”
After leaving the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Luo Yuebai still seemed a bit dazed.
“Everything went so smoothly, I still can’t quite believe it.
But the speed at which the news of the Spiritual Vein spread was indeed unexpected.
The time we have left is really running out.”
As they walked down the street, Luo Yuebai’s expression seemed to grow heavier.
While the Feng family’s attitude was certainly pleasing, the undercurrents were becoming more and more turbulent.
After all, Luo Yuebai was only at the Golden Core Realm . At this moment, she felt a sense of uneasiness about the path ahead. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Su Jingzhen held her hand and said softly.

It was indeed easy to trigger point increases when one’s mental state was unstable.
“Let’s go, before nightfall, let’s see what the other powers like Spirit Sound Valley think.”
With that, Su Jingzhen directly threw out a long sword and carried Luo Yuebai towards the branches of Spirit Sound Valley and other forces.
