Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1288: Chapter 22: Longyan Achieves Merits! Anye Returns_3 Chapter 1288: Chapter 22: Longyan Achieves Merits! Anye Returns_3 It has to be said, the Yinsha Sect really does deserve its reputation as a grand power that has stood for seven or eight thousand years; moreover, it was once a branch of the Real Demon Palace before the foundation of the Yinsha Sect. The cultivation experiences left behind by the ancestors alone are already an extremely precious heritage and fortune.

Just this cultivation insight manual casually given to her by Qi Hongzhao could make countless cultivators from the Magic Path fight tooth and nail for it.

After several months, Wang Longyan had essentially completed the transformation of her True Qi. Although her cultivation base had not significantly improved, she could clearly feel that her Mysterious Energy had become more condensed, and her combat power had also greatly increased by more than a notch.

The most progress had been made in the use of Ice Sha power.

Although she had previously mastered the Ice Sha power, due to the lack of high-end cultivation technique manuals in this field, she could only use it as Mysterious Ice power, and her application of Evil Qi was quite superficial, completely wasting the powerful corrosive effect of Evil Qi.

But now, she had already mastered many high-end applications of Ice Sha, and her understanding of Evil Qi had also greatly improved.

Although she had not yet received further inheritance, she felt that with her current strength, she should have no problem beating the average cultivator at the advanced stage of the Purple Abode Realm, and she might even try her hand at the Divine Power Territory.

Besides that, she had also specifically devoted a portion of her energy to paying attention to the internal movements of the Yinsha Sect, trying to figure out what exactly those three big shots from the Real Demon Palace were up to by coming here.

Even though Shou Zhe had said to prioritize her own safety and not to worry about intelligence matters, as the Old Ancestor of the Wang family, and now occupying the golden opportunity of being Qi Hongzhao’s Direct Disciple, she really couldn’t help but care.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t get any answers out of Qi Hongzhao.

Qi Hongzhao wasn’t purposely guarding against her, but he felt she was too weak in her cultivation just now, and the most important thing for her at the moment was to cultivate. Fearing she would be distracted by miscellaneous matters, he specifically instructed his subordinates not to bother her with these issues. As a result, despite having been at the Yinsha Sect for so long, she rarely heard any news in this regard.

Wang Longyan was worried about raising Qi Hongzhao’s suspicions, so she could only pretend to be disinterested and instead started from other details.

If the Yinsha Sect wanted to do something, there would inevitably be personnel and material movements, which can’t be hidden. Especially the various Disciples below, they all had to rely on these activities to earn money and cultivate; their information was actually the most reliable.

It was particularly easy to coax information out of them. As long as she asked, they wouldn’t dare not answer.

During this period, she had certainly gained a lot, and information had already been sent back bit by bit; she just didn’t know if Shou Zhe had received it.

“By the way~ Uncle Mingya has a young Disciple, quite handsome and elegant, named ‘Hang Ruofeng’,” Wu Xin Rui was rolling up her sleeves, cutting the Ice Chilled Frost Cake into bite-sized pieces while casually mentioning, “A while ago he was sent to West Jin by the Master, but he ended up being abducted halfway by a transformed Northern Wilderness Snow Fox.”

“…”

Wang Longyan was greatly shocked and hesitated for a moment.

“What happened after?”

“After Mingya Uncle found out about it, he was so angry that he smashed the table, saying it was a total loss of face for the Yinsha Sect. Of course, anger aside, he still went to the Northern Wilderness to fish him out in the end, then he punished him so that he’s not allowed to leave the mountain for a hundred years, and has to properly cultivate on the mountain,” Wu Xin Rui expressed her disbelief, “If you ask me, that kid was probably asking for it. After all, he likes to flirt with the female Disciples within the sect, and is even more unrestrained when out and about, perhaps he was enticed by the allure of the transformed fox and got what he deserved.”

Wang Longyan pondered for a moment, then asked, “What about the task he was sent to West Jin for…?”

“Of course, they sent someone else,” Wu Xin Rui said nonchalantly, while casually pouring Wang Longyan some more hot tea, “The sect is not short of hands, it was just an errand task after all. Get the people back, make them into Corpse Puppets, and send them back, it’s not that difficult.”

“If it weren’t for the fact that West Jin had a larger demand for Corpse Puppets this time, requesting tens of thousands of slaves all at once, there would be no need to involve Direct Disciples, leaving those below to take care of it.”

Wu Xin Rui spoke nonchalantly, but it gave Wang Longyan’s heart a jolt.

Tens of thousands of Corpse Puppets!

What is West Jin planning to do?! Could it be…

She didn’t even have the chance to despise West Jin’s system, only feeling that ominous premonition in her heart growing stronger, a certain conjecture on the verge of bursting forth.

She wanted to ask about the situation in South Qin, but as she was about to speak, she remembered Shou Zhe’s instructions and had to forcibly stop herself, barely managing to change the subject: “To refine so many Corpse Puppets at once, do you have enough materials?”

“Ah~ Master is also worried about that~” Wu Xin Rui was completely unaware of the gravity, “The sect’s material reserves were already nearly used up when making Corpse Puppets for South Qin, and recently the Mo Dynasty Market’s material prices have gone up. If we hurry to collect, we’ll have to spend more money; I’ve heard Master secretly complaining several times.”

“They need them that urgently? Can’t they refine them later?” Wang Longyan’s brows furrowed deeper.

“Apparently not,” Wu Xin Rui sighed, “I don’t know the specifics, but I only heard the Master say it seems to be related to the Real Demon Palace, it’s out of our hands.”

Wang Longyan couldn’t help but recall that initial meeting.

After the three Demon Kings from the Real Demon Palace arrived, Qi Hongzhao closed off the Sacred Temple; not only did she not know what had happened inside, even Yin Fengtu wasn’t able to enter.
