Qi Yulong

However, at this moment, the Iron Rakshasa, Feng Lin to the outside world, was like a pilgrim, walking respectfully and step by step toward the blue stone house.

Upon reaching the door, Iron Rakshasa knelt on one knee, head bowed, his expression respectful and humble, and said in a low voice, "Sect Master, there is news from the Dragon Valley Hall."

Creak!

The door was pushed open, and a thin, middle-aged man slowly walked out. His face was ordinary, but his eyes were extremely special. His pure black pupils were like a bottomless Abyss, with wisps of dark demonic intent hidden within them.

Qi Yulong looked at the Iron Rakshasa before him and nodded slightly, "Explain yourself clearly!"

His magnetic voice Dang Kai, highly recognizable, and unforgettable after just one listen.

"Sect Master, according to messages from our disciples, the Zhao Household Border River Town has obtained the legacy of Elder Zhou Zhenhao, along with the Dragon Valley Hall that you instructed us to find!"

"The Zhao Household Border River Town, Dragon Valley Hall..."

Qi Yulong murmured softly, his deep pupils remaining calm and undisturbed. Even hearing news of the Dragon Valley Hall that he had been longing for remained unmoved.

Iron Rakshasa tilted her head slightly, feeling the aura as deep and vast as the ocean before her. Her heart skipped a beat. Since the destruction of the Three Rivers Sect, the sect leader had broken free from the shackles of obsession. Not only had his strength become increasingly unfathomable, but his cunning had also deepened.

"Where did the information come from? Has it been found out?"

As the deep, resonant voice faded, Iron Rakshasa hurriedly replied in detail, "The people spreading the message are very cautious. We've arrested a few, but none of them know who their superior is. They only know that someone seems to be deliberately pushing the message to spread."

"Deliberately pushing the spread of the news?" Qi Yulong narrowed his eyes, muttering to himself, "Could it be that the Three Rivers Sect is playing some kind of trick?"

He was somewhat unsure of what to do, but just then, Iron Rakshasa suddenly took out a dark purple Dragon Valley Token. Wisps of light flickered on the token, conveying some kind of message.

Iron Rakshasa lowered his head, silently reading the message within the glimmer of light. After a few breaths, he raised his head and said solemnly, "Reporting to the sect leader, news has come from below: the Zhao Household Border River Town claims that the one who truly received Elder Zhou's inheritance is not them, but the Yang Household of Purple Moon Town!"

"The Yang Household of Purple Moon Town..."

With his hands behind his back, Qi Yulong gazed up at the vast sky, his mind flooded with information about the Zhao Household family of Bianhe Border River Town and the Yang Household of Purple Moon Town.

The long-standing feud, the simultaneous emergence of Foundation Establishment warriors before the Cold Tide, the Marriage Alliance ties between the Yang Household and Mu Household, the targeted attacks by the Black Sha Sect... all these pieces of information ultimately coalesced into two words: "Revenge!"

With a knowing smile, Qi Yulong was basically certain that there was an 80% chance that the news about the Zhao Household obtaining the Dragon Valley Hall's inheritance was leaked by the Yang Household of Purple Moon Town.

The news is likely true, but the Zhao Household Border River Town's rebuttal is also true. Both likely received the inheritance left by Elder Zhou at the same time and kept it a secret from each other to prevent the Three Rivers Sect from discovering it and ordering them to hand over the inheritance.

The Yang Household must have been provoked by the Zhao Household, so they came up with this idea of using one enemy to devour another; they've certainly played their cards right.

As for what the Yang Household has to be unafraid of the Dragon Valley Sect's attack, it's simply that they have methods to deal with Golden Core.

Thinking further, the only ones capable of dealing with Golden Core cultivator are fellow Golden Core Immortal Dao cultivators in the Immortal Dao.

Three Rivers Sect Golden Core?

Unlikely!

The Three Rivers Sect would not condone such a blatant attempt to assassinate the Zhao Household, who were also subordinate forces. Moreover, doing so would undoubtedly offend the Dragon Valley Sect, and given the established Foundation Establishment Lineage's style of doing things, they would not take the risk.

That leaves only the Jin Household. According to intelligence, when Crouching Ox Pass fell, Jin Lianri of the Jin Household of the Gold and Silver Alliance had helped Yang Haoyu.

Thinking of this, Qi Yulong suddenly realized that the Dragon Valley Hall was probably not in the hands of the Zhao Household or Yang Household, but had fallen into the hands of the Jin Household.

That's right. The Dragon Valley Hall is a treasure for Foundation Establishment Lineage. At that time, the Yang and Zhao Households certainly couldn't divide it up, so selling it to exchange for resources was the most appropriate solution.

The Gold and Silver Alliance has always valued integrity and has an excellent reputation. Thinking about it this way, the Yang and Zhao Households must have sold the Dragon Valley Hall to the Golden Jin Household Golden Core, Jin Lianri Gold and Silver Alliance!

The fact that the Yang Household dared to release such information now suggests that they are cooperating with Jin Lianri, using the latter as a safeguard against him attacking the Yang Household.

The whole plan can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

Most importantly, even if Qi Yulong guessed the whole story, as long as he still valued that heirloom and remained the master of the Dragon Valley Sect, he would inevitably take action against the Zhao Household family to reclaim the sect's relics and show his sincerity, since the Dragon Valley Hall was in their hands.

At this point, Qi Yulong had all his doubts resolved. He tilted his head and chuckled softly, "Dharma Protector Tie, go and wipe out the Zhao Household, and bring back everything Elder Zhou left behind."

Thump!

Iron Rakshasa punched the ground with his right fist, bowed respectfully, turned and walked away without asking why. He never questioned the reasons for any task assigned by Qi Yulong and always carried it out resolutely.

"Then let's go to Purple Moon Mountain!"

The sound was ethereal, like Gentle Breeze slowly merging into the world. Qi Yulong's figure also disappeared, leaving only the blue stone tile house, still standing in the wind and snow, untouched by dust.

The Zhao Household, on Bianhe Mountain, in their Lineage Discussion Hall!

The two rows of seats were filled with the Zhao Household's leaders, a total of seven Foundation Establishment, not including the two who had perished in the Cold Tide.

It can only be said that they are indeed an old Foundation Establishment Lineage with a history of hundreds of years. Their foundation is exceptionally deep. And don't forget, they also have several Tier 2 guardian spirit Spirit Beasts, which are also considerable Foundation Establishment combat power.

At this moment, Zhao Leicong, seated in the main seat, had a livid face, his expression so gloomy it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of him. His immense aura was concentrated around him, seemingly transforming into a White Tiger with its neck hanging up and roaring to the sky, revealing the master's terrible mood.

The other elders of the Zhao Household also looked grim. Zhao Zongkun gritted his teeth so hard they were grinding together, and his broad, Palm Fan hands gripped the armrest so tightly that, with a snap, he broke the armrest in two.

The crisp sound shattered the tense atmosphere in the hall. Zhao Zongkun roared in a low voice, "What exactly is the Yang Household trying to do? What benefit will they gain from leaking the news about the Dragon Valley Hall?"

"I'm afraid it's retaliation for the Black Sha Sect's attack!" Zhao Zongbin, the Lineage, said with a gloomy face.

"Damn it, they only lost two Foundation Establishment, right? The Dragon Valley Hall's inheritance is incredibly valuable, and announcing it under these circumstances would have a huge impact. Aren't the Yang Household afraid of being targeted?"

A Foundation Establishment from the Zhao Household spoke angrily, his words revealing his incomprehension of the Yang Household's actions. In his view, this was a typical tactic of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own, a mutually destructive strategy.

At this moment, the elders of the Zhao Household, while angry, also felt somewhat aggrieved.

So what if I killed two Foundation Establishment? In previous years, when our two families fought, Foundation Establishment Cultivators have often perished at each other's hands. Why is the reaction so intense this time?

At this moment, Zhao Leicong, who was sitting in the main seat, raised his hand, and the noisy sounds in the Discussion Hall instantly disappeared. All the elders of the Zhao Household turned their gazes toward him, filled with hope and expectation.
