I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 265 - 21: For You, Xiang Qingchi, I Am Willing
"From now on, this Cloudy Mountain Range no longer belongs to us."
"I, Lu Chengfeng, will also become your Whip Bearer."
Lu Chengfeng stated resolutely.
Xiang Qingchi shook her head with a smile, "You don’t need to mention the Whip Bearer matter anymore, as I spoke without intent. If you are willing, come with me southward. I am commanded by my master to take a trip to the southern Dongting Lake."
"Come with me; perhaps you might encounter some opportunities."
Lu Chengfeng nodded solemnly, "Qingchi, I have no way to repay your great kindness and virtue. Once I settle my sect disciples, I will be at your beck and call, without a word of protest."
"Hurry up, remember, do not exceed eight hours. No matter how many people remain by then, you must leave." Xiang Qingchi urged again, "Otherwise..."
She shook her head and didn’t continue.
Lu Chengfeng didn’t ask further. Others might not understand, but having obtained Chu Xiangtian’s memories, he was already clear about the conspiracy and calculations behind this.
The Cloudy Mountain Range transforming into a volcanic group, turning this vast expanse of mountains into a dead land, was already destined.
Xiang Qingchi decided to let the disciples of Yuncang Sword Sect go, at a considerable cost, which might even alarm Yi Hongchen.
Lu Chengfeng, even though he remained calm outwardly, had long raised his vigilance in his heart. If Yi Hongchen turned his attention here now, he would be stirring trouble under the Immortal’s nose.
"There’s absolutely no margin for error; the Divine Techniques of the Love Token are mysterious and elusive, and those trapped within it cannot see the slightest clue. Yet, from a bystander’s perspective, it’s possible to notice something amiss."
"Originally, Xiang Qingchi and I had no interaction, but now she is willing to defy her master’s orders to let the disciples of Yuncang Sword Sect go."
"This is likely to arouse Yi Hongchen’s caution."
"However, I suppose she wouldn’t believe I orchestrated this, and might instead focus more attention and effort on that old monk."
Lu Chengfeng sorted out his thoughts, apologized to Xiang Qingchi, and immediately retreated to return to the Cloudy Mountain.
In just a few breaths, he returned to Trapped Dragon Abyss.
At this time, Zhu Yuxian was guarding beside Princess Consort Xiang, constantly paying attention to the movements above the abyss, ready to act at any moment against the woman beside her.
Suddenly, a beam of Escape Light fell from above, soon revealing Lu Chengfeng’s figure.
Zhu Yuxian, upon seeing him, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly asked, "How did your negotiation with her go?"
Lu Chengfeng spoke with a heavy tone, "I don’t have much time to explain; immediately join Elder Li to mobilize all sect disciples to evacuate the Cloudy Mountain Range."
"Fortunately, all sect disciples have now been gathered at Jade Immortal Peak. You must immediately pass the word; in three hours, everyone must leave the Cloudy Mountain, heading to Jade Dragon Mountain via the Qingzhou route."
"Also, contact Tan Xiong in advance, having him lead Qingzhou cavalry along the way to prevent any accidents."
"As for the sect’s inventory, anything that can be taken away should be packed and taken. Use all manpower and resources to move the sect’s millennia of accumulation completely."
"For anything that simply cannot be moved, abandon it all."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuxian couldn’t help but display a surprised expression on her face, "Isn’t this going to completely abandon the Cloudy Mountain?"
Lu Chengfeng nodded, "Time is pressing, I don’t have time to explain individually to each of you. You must immediately summon all the Elders; I will personally issue the order."
Zhu Yuxian frowned involuntarily, "Even though your reputation in the sect is high, it won’t be easy to make them abandon a millennium’s legacy."
"There’s no time for concerns; every moment is crucial from now on, not a second can be wasted. Start acting now." Lu Chengfeng grabbed Zhu Yuxian and directly soared into the sky.
Xiang Qingchi mentioned eight hours, but Lu Chengfeng felt the time left for them may be even shorter. Should Yi Hongchen get involved, or if that old monk stirs up trouble, once things go awry, everyone will perish.
