On Qingxu Mountain, layers of grand palaces stand majestic and imposing.
At this mont, in one of the palaces, Qing Dong clasped his fists and addressed the elder in the large chair, dressed in a green robe, saying, "Father, I am back."
The elder, with bushy brows and bright eyes, exudes a powerful aura and carries the deanor of a venerable figure, despite his simple attire.
This elder is none other than Qing Tiancheng, the Sect Leader of the Qingxu Sect.
"Son, are you alright? Did the Spiritual Void Sword Sect experts harm you?" The elder's eyes showed concern as he asked.
Qing Dong's face carried an expression of anger as he said, "I'm fine, but our dozen or so Ninth Layer Martial Saint disciples discovered and gathered nearly a hundred stalks of thousand-year-old Purple Thunder Reishi at a cliff on Octagonal Island, only to have them snatched away by three or four Spiritual Void Sword Sect legendary experts. It's truly infuriating!"
"Although Qingcheng and I, along with several legendary experts, hurried to Octagonal Island at our fastest speed, we were still a step too late."
As he spoke, Qing Dong's face was filled with ire and resentnt.
Qing Tiancheng comforted Qing Dong, saying, "The legendary masters who rescued the wounded disciples have already inford of this. It's good that you and Qingcheng returned safely. Next ti, don't risk chasing the Spiritual Void Sword Sect people like that."
Qing Dong still felt unsatisfied, saying, "But the Spiritual Void Sword Sect has crossed the line. Octagonal Island is a borderland between our Qingxu Sect and the Spiritual Void Sword Sect, belonging to neither party. Why should they co to snatch it when our people discovered Purple Thunder Reishi?"
Qing Tiancheng's gaze hardened as he said, "In recent years, the Spiritual Void Sword Sect has dared to provoke us because they have the Profound Celestial Sword Sect as their backing, thinking they have strong support."
"Are we just going to let the Spiritual Void Sword Sect step all over us?" Qing Dong's eyes were filled with anger.
Qing Tiancheng looked at the sky outside the hall, and with a heavy tone, he said, "The Thirty-Six Secret Realms are each controlled by different forces, competing and cooperating with one another, yet no one dares to easily start a major conflict, as a single move can affect the whole."
The sects of the Thirty-Six Secret Realms often vie for benefits, leading so to form alliances while others beco opposing forces.
Like the Qingxu Sect and the Spiritual Void Sect, whose territories border each other, they beco enemies due to territorial disputes and the struggle for heavenly treasures, with many minor conflicts occurring regularly.
Although the strength of the Spiritual Void Sword Sect ranks thirteenth among the sword sects of the Thirty-Six Secret Realms, lower than the Qingxu Sect's tenth rank, the Spiritual Void Sword Sect is allied with the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, whose strength ranking surpasses that of the Qingxu Sect.
This is what Qing Tiancheng ant by a single move affecting the whole; if they go to war with the Spiritual Void Sword Sect, the Profound Celestial Sword Sect will definitely intervene, causing great trouble for the Qingxu Sect.
"Nonetheless, the Spiritual Void Sword Sect would not dare to go overboard; their legendary masters only wounded our disciples and took the Reishi but did not dare to kill any of our people." Qing Tiancheng continued.
Given the balance and mutual apprehension among the Thirty-Six Secret Realm forces, Qing Tiancheng cannot completely eradicate the Spiritual Void Sword Sect.
He does not yet have that strength.
Rumble.
Just then, a strong gust of air surged into the grand hall from the outer gate.
The air trembled.
Qing Tiancheng's brows furrowed, and he issued a stern shout towards the outside of the hall: "What is happening outside?"
"Sect Leader Qing, I am Void Ocean, Grand Elder of the Spiritual Void Sword Sect, here to pay my respects to Sect Leader Qing!" At that mont, a voice sounded from outside, seemingly respectful but actually arrogant.
Despite the sound seeming nearby, it was indeed far away.
At the sa ti, an elder in a white robe, with silver hair streaming, flew into the great hall. He knelt on one knee before Qing Tiancheng, clasped his hands respectfully, and said, "Sect Leader, the Spiritual Void Sword Sect's Grand Elder has led four elders and a hundred legendary masters into the Qingxu Secret Realm for unknown reasons."
"Grand Elder, gather the remaining elders and all the legendary masters at once; I will et him first." Qing Tiancheng rose from the large chair, his aura mountainous, and spoke to the elder in the white robe.
"Yes, Sect Leader." The kneeling Grand Elder responded.
As Qing Tiancheng was about to leave, Qing Dong said to him, "Father, I will go with you."
He vaguely felt that the Spiritual Void Sword Sect's large mobilization this ti might be related to Lin Fei killing the Four Lords of Dragon Mountain.
Qing Tiancheng nodded.
Then, Qing Tiancheng, like a majestic eagle, soared out of the hall with Qing Dong following closely behind.
Above the Qingxu Island in the secret realm, the clouds rolled and surged, and five elders and a hundred legendary masters from the Spiritual Void Sword Sect hovered densely in the air, exerting an overwhelming pressure that shook heaven and earth.
After the father-son duo of Qing Tiancheng flew away from the Qingxu Mountain palace, they imdiately arrived tens of ters in front of the Spiritual Void Sword Sect in the sky.
Despite only bringing his son up, Qing Tiancheng's aura did not lose to the hundred-plus experts of the Spiritual Void Sword Sect.
"Void Ocean, this is my Qingxu Secret Realm; what is your purpose in bringing so many here through trespassing?" Qing Tiancheng's thick brows knit tightly, and he glared at the Grand Elder Void Ocean of the Spiritual Void Sword Sect, coldly questioning.
The Grand Elder Void Ocean of the Spiritual Void Sword Sect remained calm, saying, "Sect Leader Qing, you should ask your Young Master."
Qing Tiancheng looked puzzled at Void Ocean: "What do you an? What does this have to do with my son?"
Upon hearing Void Ocean's words, Qing Dong was already certain they had co for Lin Fei.
Qing Dong imdiately said to his father, "Father, I don't understand what he's saying either."
Void Ocean sneered: "Since Young Master Qing refuses to say, let do the honors. Today, four legendary masters, the Four Lords of Dragon Mountain of our Spiritual Void Sword Sect, were killed on Crow Island by soone nad Lin Fei.
And this murderer, after killing the Four Lords of Dragon Mountain, followed Young Master Qing and his sister into the Qingxu Secret Realm. Therefore, we are here today to hope that Sect Leader Qing does not harbor this murderer but surrenders him to us."
"Father, I do not know anyone nad Lin Fei. All I know is that today, the Spiritual Void Sword Sect's legendary masters robbed the thousand-year-old Purple Thunder Reishi from our disciples and wounded them on Octagonal Island. I went with several senior brothers to rescue them only to have the Spiritual Void Sword Sect's legendary masters escape." Qing Dong said angrily to his father.
"We didn't even go to the Spiritual Void Sword Sect to demand justice, and now they are crying foul and coming to us!"
As they spoke, the sound of air being split intensified, and legendary masters flew over from various mountain peaks over Qingxu Island.
In a blink, behind Qing Tiancheng and his son appeared the Qingxu Sect's ten Grand Elders and more than a hundred legendary masters.
Their aura imdiately overshadowed that of the Spiritual Void Sword Sect's experts.
Qing Tiancheng's expression was cold, and his eyes sharp as he stared at Void Ocean and said: "Void Ocean, your people from the Spiritual Void Sword Sect wounded our Qingxu Sect's disciples today and took our thousand-year-old Purple Thunder Reishi. We haven't even settled accounts with you, and now you're mobilizing forces to demand a murderer. If you do not leave the Qingxu Secret Realm imdiately, do not bla us for taking action!"
Qing Tiancheng's words echoed like thunder in the sky, carrying a decisive and ruthless aura.
Void Ocean and the other four elders' faces beca heavy.
"Sect Leader Qing, you claim that people from our Spiritual Void Sword Sect took your disciples' thousand-year-old Purple Thunder Reishi. If true, we will return what was taken and offer our apologies." Void Ocean said: "However, please hand over the murderer who killed our Four Lords of Dragon Mountain."
"Void Ocean, as my son has made clear, he does not know anyone nad Lin Fei, nor did he bring this person back. Stop speaking nonsense and leave!" As Qing Tiancheng's voice fell, he waved his hand, unleashing a terrifying storm toward Void Ocean and the Spiritual Void Sword Sect's experts.
