Who wouldn’t be interested in the centuries-old wealth accumulated by the Soul Catching Sect? Only by becoming orthodox can one better seize these resources.
Nowadays, there are few left in the sect, from the Sect Leader and various Great Elders to the Stewards and True Disciples.
With no great mountains above, naturally, many will spring out, recklessly vying for interests.
Zheng Yi has a deep understanding of this.
"Let them cause chaos first, we only need to watch the show from the sidelines."
After thinking for a while, Zheng Yi directly instructed, "Also, the Blood Cultivators must expedite forming an army; the current situation is not ideal, and the Qi Family needs a strong enough guard force."
"Yes, my lord!"
Qi Lin nodded earnestly, received the order, and left.
With Qi Lin’s departure, the hall beca empty and quiet, with Zheng Yi sitting motionless at the head, but his mind was filled with thoughts.
Who could have foreseen that so many significant events would occur in the re span of two or three months, with the two Foundation Establishnt sects controlling the surrounding forces both collapsing, their upper echelon wiped out — truly beyond imagination.
Without the two great mountains above, likely, so forces around that are eager to move will begin to test the waters, and before a new power setup forms, the surroundings will fall into chaos again.
By then, the situation will beco even more complex.
For now, Zheng Yi isn’t considering going to the Soul Catching Sect’s territory to fight for power; though he has the capability now, he does not plan to expose his trump card, as being unknown in this matter, suddenly rising, could easily attract attention.
Moreover, he suspects that if the Star-devouring Demon City doesn’t intervene, the Soul Catching Sect’s territory will sooner or later be devoured, and whether or not the na Soul Catching Sect will even exist is uncertain.
However, things generally are dualistic.
Muddling through troubled waters might not be a bad thing for Zheng Yi.
From another perspective, those sect disciples who knew Zheng Yi well have almost all died in the war, undoubtedly reducing the risk of exposure.
Now Zheng Yi’s wings have gradually hardened, without others’ scrutiny, he can develop in secret; what he needs now isn’t resources, but ti to grow.
Once he achieves Foundation Establishnt, in this Demon Realm, he’ll have so footing to plan higher paths.
Unlike the people of the Qi Family, from beginning to end, Zheng Yi’s pursuit has but one goal — immortality and obtaining great power.
As for the so-called struggle for power and gain, it’s rely scenery along the way, a ans rather than an end.
His aim is the vast universe; how could he linger in this corner and fight for food with a bunch of hillbillies?
Now, due to a major sect calamity, things have surprisingly resolved the issue of exposure for Zheng Yi.
The Soul Catching Sect has co to an end, and now there should be no one within the sect who knows Zheng Yi, which makes him quite relieved.
Next is planning how to break through the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
...
Just as Zheng Yi managed a mont of calm, Qi Lin returned to report again, and this ti the reported issue made Zheng Yi’s eyebrows slightly raise — things had taken a new turn.
"You an the direct blood relatives of the Third Elder’s line, who failed to contest for power, have co here?"
Zheng Yi said sowhat surprised.
Since the entire Badong Town mining field has only one Black Iron Ore Vein, this area is extrely desolate and rarely visited by sect disciples.
Let alone, the direct descendants of the sect’s three Foundation Establishnt Elders.
"My lord, the Third Elder died at the hands of the Thunderfire Ascendant. His direct descendants used to parade their might within the sect, making many enemies, but now that their backing is gone, tis have changed."
"This person nad Li Mingqi was once the Third Elder’s favorite junior, a True Disciple. In this sect contest, he failed, and brought a group of followers heading this way. It won’t be long before they arrive here."
Qi Lin had co to deliver the news.
"Since they are fellow sect brothers, naturally there’s a need for a warm reception."
Suddenly, a smile appeared on his calm face, and Zheng Yi stood up and spoke to Qi Lin.
"Understood, we’ll make it enthusiastic!"
Instantly, Qi Lin grasped Zheng Yi’s intention, promptly responded, and then went down to arrange it.
This ti, Zheng Yi personally led the Qi Family mbers to et the sect disciples halfway.
Both sides were extrely congenial, showing considerable sincerity in forming ties, even Li Mingqi did not hesitate to lower his status, hoping to gain Zheng Yi’s support to counter-attack the sect, and by then share the interests according to needs.
In short, it was a promise not to let Zheng Yi suffer.
And Zheng Yi, of course, welcod them warmly, with Qi Lin’s complints on the side, making the banquet proceed quite harmoniously!
The Soul Catching Sect’s high-end combat strength was completely wiped out due to irresistible force, destroying its foundation.
But a wrecked ship still has so nails, and the grand sect, having been passed down for hundreds of years, has quite a bit of heritage within the mountain gate. With the Foundation Establishnt Sect Leader and other elders dead, various factions have fallen into dispute.
Li Mingqi, being the direct descendant of the Third Elder, suffered heavy losses in this conflict.
Due to failing to secure his position and fearing pursuit, Li Mingqi led his followers and hastily fled the sect, finding no other refuge for now, settling temporarily with the Qi Family.
As a True Disciple of the sect and direct descendant of the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator Third Elder, Li Mingqi felt his status far superior to Zheng Yi.
Arriving at the Qi Family, he considered himself the master here, without hesitation starting to dispatch his n to investigate the Qi Family’s power.
Several days later, Li Mingqi gathered his followers and directly seized the Qi Family’s hall.
"What have you all discovered these days?!"
"Is there enough benefit in this place?"
"Regarding our arrival, is the Qi Family guarded against us or harboring any ulterior motives?"
With a direct approach, Li Mingqi cut straight to the point.
