Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses Chapter 679 252: Have You Learned It? Underwater Heaven's Ed

"The information Qingzhu provided is quite substantial."

"Firstly, their sect is called the Heaven's Edge Sect. This sect sounds quite grand and bright, and yet the things they do are entirely different. The current location of the Heaven's Edge Sect is unknown. Simply searching for it might be daunting. It seems my best plan is to reside in South City for so ti, find the hidden mbers of the Heaven's Edge Sect within South City, then follow them to locate the sect itself."

"Secondly, there will be another similar test in South City three days from now... Ah, this is troubleso. Thirty people are coming in at once, and I can't possibly let them all pass, can I? Previously, to save two children, I allowed a batch of three people to pass, which resulted in the ergence of thirty children now."

"If I let more than thirty children pass this ti, then perhaps all the children in South City will co to try their luck next ti. Not to ntion, if I let more than thirty children all pass, who knows what that man in black armor might suspect. That would be troubleso indeed."

"I'm already powerless in this situation. The Heaven's Edge Sect holds sway over the entire population of South City, and I could never rescue thirty children. Three days from now, they will go for testing, and if they fail, they'll be detained in the Water Prison for several days, making it at least five days overall."

"In these five days, I need to find the location of the Heaven's Edge Sect to see if there's an opportunity to eradicate them entirely and uproot them. Without the suppression of the Heaven's Edge Sect, the situation might improve instantly. However, this is uncertain, and I don't know how strong the Heaven's Edge Sect really is, or if there are other similar sects out there, like the Great Tang Prison."

Yuchi frowned slightly, feeling entangled in a troubleso situation. The original plan was rely to rest in South City, believing that visiting more cities was beneficial. Now, however, he had been in South City for four days, and with the forthcoming commotion, resolving this within the month would already be comndable.

"Damn it, in the end, I should just seize everything from the Heaven's Edge Sect, otherwise, this ss has been quite exhausting."

With a determined squint, he thought, "Qingzhu said the strength of these two n is around the Foundation Establishnt Stage. Being at the Foundation Establishnt Stage is already quite powerful. Considering their status in South City, their position should be very high. If one extrapolates further, their Sect Leader might actually be at the Core Formation Stage in terms of cultivation?"

"If it's rely soone at the Core Formation Stage, I could handle it myself. But if luck runs out and they have soone at the Golden Core Stage, then I might need Miss Shanlan's assistance."

"Are Golden Core Stage cultivators really so commonplace? Not necessarily. Moreover, with tactics like those used by Master Xuanhong, their actual strength might not be formidable, akin to a paper tiger. The likelihood of encountering soone at the Golden Core Stage is truly low, but I must prepare for the worst-case scenario."

"Heh, they consider one of their own, is my acting really that good? I felt my performance was rather awkward, yet in their eyes, I'm seen as soone utterly reprehensible? That's sowhat amusing."

"As for the entire South City being the Heaven's Edge Sect's business... that point hadn't occurred to before. In Xufu Town, the guild was only involved in the clothing business, with no involvent in grain and oil. In South City, however, it's different. The final Shopkeepers of each major store are Heaven's Edge Sect mbers, aning they must be quite wealthy."

"They've collected a substantial amount in taxes and also profited significantly from their business, yet despite such wealth, South City remains dilapidated. It's like Pixiu, always consuming and never expelling."

Thinking further, Yuchi also wondered just how wealthy the Heaven's Edge Sect might be. After all this running around, he didn't plan to walk away empty-handed. He wasn't a paragon of virtue; he had a whole Ascension Gate of disciples to gradually support and help grow."

"So now there's a plan. I'll locate the hidden disciples in South City to find the Heaven's Edge Sect's location, assess their strength, and seize the opportunity to obliterate them. Simultaneously, before their eradication, I need to liaise with other major cities nearby, ensuring that at least a legitimate major city takes over South City, otherwise, if the Heaven's Edge Sect falls, then the citizens of South City..."

"The citizens of South City would plunge into zero-cost shopping."

Rubbing his forehead, Yuchi could already envision the scene of South City's citizens losing their suppression.

As things stand, the citizens of South City seem very peaceful, but that's primarily due to Master Xuanhong keeping them in check. Once Master Xuanhong's control is removed, would chaos not ensue? Then it wouldn't just be minor looting; the entirety of South City would beco embroiled in a brutal conflict, leading to catastrophic casualties—he'd end up being the well-aning fool who went awry.
