It turns out that, according to the report, Yu Jinghua had already swept clean the treasury of Tianjing Sect before the arrival of the five Golden Core Stage cultivators from Green Lotus Temple, taking with him a few trusted subordinates from Spirit Beast Manor and leaving the mountain gates of Tianjing Sect with their destination unknown.
After the five Golden Core Stage cultivators from Green Lotus Temple arrived at Tianjing Sect, they did not slaughter the disciples of Tianjing Sect but temporarily took over Spirit Mountain, confining all the disciples of Tianjing Sect on the mountain to await further disposition.
Zhou Chun couldn’t help but admire Yu Jinghua’s skill in flight.
“However, this scoundrel, after fleeing this time, probably won’t find any other power to take him in. If we discover his whereabouts in the future, we can try to settle the total account with him!”
Zhou Chun’s eyes twinkled with a sharp light, and bold ideas arose in his heart.
…
Green Lotus Mountain Range.
Speaking of which, after leaving the battlefield of Lingzhou, Qingxiao True Person and two other Nascent Soul Stage True Persons arrived at Qingxiao True Person’s cave dwelling deep within the Green Lotus Mountain Range shortly thereafter.
That was beside the Spirit Eye Lake, which was within the forbidden area of the Green Lotus Temple gate.
Yinyue True Person and Ziyang True Person clearly were not visiting this place for the first time. They merely glanced over the Spirit Eye Lake, their gaze lingering slightly longer on a few green lotus leaves in the pond before shifting away.
In terms of practice environment, the location of their cave dwellings was not inferior to this place, so they had nothing to envy.
The three Nascent Soul Stage True Persons quickly entered a reed-thatched courtyard by the lakeside and sat around a stone table inside.
“No need for tea, Taoist Friend Qingxiao, let’s discuss the important matters first!”
In the courtyard, just as Qingxiao True Person was preparing the tea to welcome the honored guests, Yinyue True Person waved his hand, stopping him from doing so.
Seeing this, Qingxiao True Person deliberately asked with feigned ignorance, “Taoist Friend Yinyue has never been impatient, so why the sudden haste today?”
“Taoist Friend Qingxiao, there’s no need for such jesting with this old man. Your actions today have been out of line!”
Yinyue True Person looked at Qingxiao True Person with a cold expression, his tone quite unkind.
Back in Lingzhou, he naturally did not want to show disapproval to Qingxiao True Person in front of so many junior Golden Core cultivators.
But now, with only the three Nascent Soul Stage True Persons present, and he being the Supreme Elder of Moon Wheel Sect with the highest actual status, he naturally needed to assert his stance.
Qingxiao True Person, who was criticized by him, also reined in his smile and his eyes filled with murderous energy, coldly snorting at Yinyue True Person: “What’s wrong with my actions today? Is it only permissible for your two sects to divide the lands of Jingguo Country, while Green Lotus Temple deserves to walk towards extinction?”
“Don’t forget, for Jingguo Country to have its current stable situation, I have exerted great effort twice before. I am also entitled to a say in the governance of Jingguo Country!”
By the end of this statement, Qingxiao True Person’s tone was also filled with anger.
A tiger, though old, still retains its vigor, not to mention Qingxiao True Person, who had just captured a Nascent Soul cultivator in a direct confrontation, in front of the two Nascent Soul Stage True Persons.
Thus, when he got angry, carrying the aura of having captured Tianjing True Person alive, he immediately caused Yinyue True Person and Ziyang True Person’s complexions to change, seeming a bit unsettled.
Ziyang True Person hastened to play peacemaker, saying, “Taoist Friend Qingxiao, please calm down. Taoist Friend Yinyue didn’t mean that. Our sects have never overlooked the merits of Taoist Friend Qingxiao, nor have we ever thought of cutting off your lineage!”
“Indeed, as for the future status of Green Lotus Temple, have we not discussed it before? Taoist Friend Qingxiao, you agreed at the time!”
Yinyue True Person’s expression softened, and his tone was no longer as sharp, becoming rather conciliatory.
Seeing this, Qingxiao True Person’s burst of anger receded, but he still spoke with undiminished anger, “Hmph, if I hadn’t agreed at the time, would you not have supported Tianjing? Would you have watched Tianjing challenge me?”
“Don’t tell me that Tianjing, a junior with not yet a thousand years of lifespan, could have found out about my life expectancy secret on his own!”
Upon hearing this, Yinyue True Person and Ziyang True Person fell silent for a while.
With their level of cultivation, of course, they knew that no one could be deceived by baseless lies.
About Qingxiao True Person nearing death, indeed it was they who had leaked this information to Tianjing True Person.
After a moment of silence, Yinyue True Person could only explain, “When we informed Tianjing about this matter, our original intention was to let him set his mind at ease to consolidate his cultivation level, vigorously practice his Divine Skills, and patiently wait to take over from Taoist Friend Qingxiao. We did not expect him to be so eager for quick success and immediate profit, leading to harm himself!”
As these words fell, nearby, Ziyang True Person also hastened to agree, “Indeed, indeed, how could we who have been friends with Taoist Friend Qingxiao for a millennium wish to harm you? Truly, it was unexpected that Tianjing, this fellow, couldn’t even wait this short time and was in such a hurry to rise to power…”
At this point, the hearts of the two True Persons also somewhat wished to curse their mothers.
They had clearly cautioned Tianjing True Person not to make trouble before Qingxiao True Person’s passing away into transcendence, and that it would suffice to dedicatedly cultivate in seclusion for a hundred years and wait to succeed.
As long as he secluded himself for a century of devoted cultivation, and once Qingxiao True Person passed away into transcendence, he could come out of seclusion to establish a grand sect, become a founding ancestor, and live joyfully for a thousand years.
But who could have foreseen Tianjing True Person agreeing so readily at the time, only to lose his mind later and leap out to seek death?
The softening tone of the two True Persons was undoubtedly pleasing to Qingxiao True Person.
Immediately, he also spoke gravely, “Tianjing himself was just a loose cultivator who by chance came upon an opportunity and rose with the help of others. He has made no contributions to Jingguo Country, and even plundered Jingguo’s resources to nurture wings in other countries, truly showing little patriatism!”
“You wanted to cultivate him to replace my position in Green Lotus Temple, I fear you’ve thought too much!”
“Not to mention anything else, if Dragon Transformation Sect were to make a comeback someday, would Tianjing fight alongside you against the enemy as I, old man, have done?”
“He’d be lucky not to invite wolves into the house and take advantage of the situation to gain benefits!”
Hearing his words, Yinyue True Person and Ziyang True Person felt somewhat unconvinced in their hearts.
What patriotic heart?
This Jingguo Country is still ruled by us Nascent Soul Stage cultivators!
If Tianjing True Person were to establish a sect and take Green Lotus Temple’s place, then when Dragon Transformation Sect comes surging up from Yunzhou in the south, for his own interests, Tianjing True Person would have to stand up and face them.
After all, as a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, even if he threw in his lot with Dragon Transformation Sect, he wouldn’t gain much benefit and would thoroughly sully his own reputation, making it difficult to normally interact with human Nascent Soul Stage cultivators anymore.
However, the pair also knew that this was an excuse for Qingxiao True Person to absolve himself, and so they did not retort.
Since things had already developed to this stage, Tianjing True Person’s move was definitely not going to work, and dwelling on these matters would only make the situation even less controllable.
Although they could not refute Qingxiao True Person’s words, they still had to ask what needed to be asked.

Yinyue True Person immediately looked at Qingxiao True Person and asked, “Even if Tianjing is seeking his own death, now that you have captured his Nascent Soul, Taoist Friend Qingxiao, what do you plan to do with him?”
“After your departure, who will guard Jingguo’s Southern Frontier?”
In the end, what Moon Wheel Sect and Sunflame Sect were concerned about was the matter of who would be Jingguo Country’s guardian in the Southern Frontier after Qingxiao True Person’s transcendental departure.
They had supported Tianjing before simply because he was the only suitable candidate.
If Qingxiao True Person could solve this problem, then whether Tianjing True Person lived or died was truly of no significance to them.
And clearly, Qingxiao True Person understood this as well.
Now, facing Yinyue True Person’s inquiry, he also spoke without hesitation, “I have two plans, you all can see which one you can accept!”
This declarative tone caused Yinyue True Person and Ziyang True Person to involuntarily frown, feeling some displeasure.
But Yinyue True Person did not show his irritation right away, instead he calmly looked at Qingxiao True Person and said, “Old man wishes to hear the details!”
“Taoist Friend Qingxiao, you speak first,” Ziyang True Person also said indifferently.
