"That's right, that's exactly the reason."
Qingle nodded and said without hesitation, " Chen Fengyang, wielding the City-Suppressing Seal, can completely control the entire Mingyu Mountain, bringing the treasures below to light."
Hearing this, even Yue Yao gasped.
Without the Life Map, the City-Suppressing Seal is the key to unlocking Mingyu Mountain, and now, this key is in Chen Fengyang's hands. No wonder someone wanted to ask the Seven Kill Hall to assassinate Mo Ziqi and keep Chen Fengyang occupied.
The alliance between the Chen Clan and Mo Family undoubtedly gave the Mo Family an advantage.
According to the agreement reached by the major forces in the Immortal World, no immortals will appear in the matter of Mingyu Mountain unless the Life Map is revealed. Before the Life Map is used to open the Remains of Tiandu beneath Mingyu Mountain, everything that happens in the meantime is considered a training exercise for the younger generation.
Some low-level Loose Immortal can be dispatched, but high-level Loose Immortal and connected immortals cannot participate.
Moreover, the main purpose of this event is treasure hunting, so the elite disciples and the next generation of hope of their Lineage have been sent by various forces. Once they are recognized as masters by a celestial artifact left behind by a Fruit Status Immortal at the foot of Mingyu Mountain, it will be an incredible fortuitous opportunity.
In the eyes of these people, the high-grade immortal artifacts beneath Mingyu Mountain were far more valuable than those in the Fallen Heaven Capital. The original plan of the Nangong Clan was to quietly open the Heavenly Capital and obtain the peerless immortal artifacts below.
However, that's clearly not an option now. We can only settle for second best: first, preserve the Remains of Tiandu, and then try to acquire more of those immortal artifacts. It was precisely because of the Nangong Clan's concession that the major powers of the Immortal World had already joined forces to suppress them, preventing the Nangong Clan from Remains of Tiandu.
However, in order to contain the Mo Family, restrain Chen Fengyang, and prevent them from gaining the upper hand, the various forces carried out the assassination attempt on Mo Ziqi.
Now, when Qingle High Immortal saw Chen Xiao's slightly gleaming eyes, his expression instantly froze.
"You, you don't mean to keep all the treasure down there for yourself, do you?"
After a long while, Qingle finally spoke and asked.
"I don't have that kind of appetite. If I ate that stuff, the entire Moon-Gazing City would be beaten to a pulp."
Chen Xiao shook his head, but after he finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, clearly lost in thought.
" Chen Xiao, no matter what, your Chen Clan is the city lord of Moon-Gazing City and a subordinate of the Glazed Heaven Palace. If you obtain those treasures below, you must hand over 50% to the Glazed Heaven Palace."
The next moment, Qingle's expression turned serious.
Chen Xiao glanced at Qingle with some surprise. He realized that this High Immortal had misunderstood him.
However, he didn't say much, only nodding slowly.
"The identity of Shen Xiao is still of paramount importance. We must cultivate to the Out-of-Body Realm Soul stage as soon as possible, and develop External Incarnation and Second Primordial Spirit so that Shen Xiao can truly appear in this world."
Chen Xiao was secretly making plans in his mind.
In fact, the identity of Shen Xiao was not fabricated out of thin air. In the Golden Immortal Kingdom, there was a Staff Daoist who had already condensed his Primordial Spirit and was only lacking spiritual consciousness. As long as Chen Xiao's cultivation reached the Out-of-Body Realm, he could use that staff as his Second Primordial Spirit, and thus the identity of Shen Xiao would have a basis.
When the time comes, as long as the Crimson Cloud is given to the Second Primordial Spirit, no one will be able to see the true nature of the Second Primordial Spirit, and then who will have any doubts?
Chen Xiao is now living in constant fear, having to carefully plan every step. If he makes a wrong move, his former allies could turn into vicious tigers and deliver a devastating blow.
"Aunt, if you truly acknowledge my father and my identity, then let us go see Grandma."
Finally, Chen Xiao spoke.
"I can let you see her," Yue Yao sighed helplessly, "But if you want my aunt to come out of seclusion, it depends on how you and your son behave."
"My grandmother... she's been taken hostage?"
Chen Xiao was a perceptive person. He had just thought that Yue Yao was deliberately scheming to gain more benefits from him, but now that the conversation had progressed to this point, Yue Yao's words made Chen Xiao understand what was going on.
Yue Yao's expression darkened slightly, and she nodded.
" The Lineage has split into two factions. Those old fogies have sided with the Tiandu Nalan Clan, trying to use my aunt as leverage to force the Chen Clan to submit."
Upon hearing these words, Chen Tiannan's face instantly turned pale.
"I misunderstood you just now, Aunt. Chen Xiao apologizes to you here."
Chen Xiao Chen Xiao said to Yue Yao, "I'm a man who can let go easily. I realized I had misunderstood Yue Yao's meaning, so I apologized immediately."
Yue Yao nodded slightly when she saw Chen Xiao's reaction.
"What is the background of the Nalan Family?"
Chen Tiannan took a deep breath and asked.
" The Nalan Family is a major power in Glazed Heaven Capital, with influence comparable to that of the Nangong Clan."
Qingle High Immortal replied, "However, the Nalan Family's status is countless times more prestigious than that of the Nangong Clan. The Nalan Family is a major Dao Master of the Glazed Dao Academy."
" Artifact Venerable Nalan, the Dao Master of the Glazed Dao Academy and the Artifact Master?"
Chen Xiao blurted out instinctively.
"You know about the Artifact Venerable Nalan?" Upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, Qingle was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "It must have been your master who told you, right? That's right, the Nalan Family is none other than the Artifact Venerable Nalan."
After receiving Qingle's affirmation, Chen Xiao Chen.
The Glazed Dao Academy is the largest academy in the Glazed Heaven, and it can be said to be the most influential place in the entire Glazed Heaven besides the Glazed Heaven Palace.
In the Glazed Heaven, anyone from the Glazed Heaven, regardless of their background or affiliation, can enter the Glazed Dao Academy to study as long as they possess the aptitude. The Glazed Dao Academy is a place that cultivates talents for the Glazed Heaven, and all those who graduate from the Glazed Dao Academy have at least the cultivation level of High Immortal.
If Glazed Heaven is a country, then Glazed Heaven Palace is the country's court, and Glazed Dao Academy is the cradle of talent for that country.
Within the Glazed Dao Academy, there are four major paths: alchemy, weapon crafting, array formation, and talisman.
These four great paths are four external aids used by cultivators or immortals during their cultivation process. They are not part of their own cultivation and, compared to Cultivation Method and Law Technique, are considered Outer Dao. However, the immortals of the Immortal World cannot do without these four great paths.
That Artifact Venerable Nalan, is the second-ranked Weapon Master in the Glazed Dao Academy. His Aristocratic Clan is renowned throughout the Immortal World for their expertise in weapon crafting, and their status and position are extremely prestigious. How could the mere Nangong Clan compare to him?
The Artifact Venerable Nalan, known as the Weapon Masters, is the largest weapon-refining Aristocratic Clan in the Glazed Heaven. With the emergence of the Artifact Venerable Nalan, at least 70% of the forces in the Glazed Heaven must give them face.
Now that they've made their move, things are truly dangerous.
"Are the Nalan Family members at the City Lord's Mansion?"
Chen Xiao asked.
"In the main branch of the Yue Family, Aunt Yue Tan is also there," Yue Yao explained.
"Father, look..."
Chen Xiao glanced at Chen Tiannan.
"I want to see my mother," Chen Tiannan said, lowering his head.
"Sister Yue Yao, why don't you take Tiannan to the main branch of the Yue Family to see Yue Tan first? I have some things to discuss with Chen Xiao here."
At this moment, Qingle spoke up.
"Good."
Yue Yao did not hesitate, "Tiannan, come with me."
"Thank you so much, cousin, for making this possible."
Chen Tiannan's tone was slightly excited as he hurriedly followed Yue Yao out of the garden.
" Chen Xiao, you come with me too."
After Chen Tiannan and Yue Yao left, Qingle didn't wait for Chen Xiao to speak before she waved her sleeve. Chen Xiao felt a sudden dizziness, and the two of them appeared in another place.
"Are you going to tell me about Taiyi Dry Dragon Bow?"
Chen Xiao steadied himself and then spoke.
"Good."
Qingle said, "That's the main reason I came here."
Chen Xiao frowned but remained silent.
"Since you already have the ability to draw Substitute Puppet Talisman, then there is no problem in you becoming the Master of Talisman Dao at the Glazed Dao Academy."
After a moment of contemplation, Qingle uttered these words.
"Well..."
Upon hearing these words, Chen Xiao instantly felt dizzy; it was as if an enormous windfall had fallen into his lap.
"Senior Qingle, you're not joking, are you?"
The next moment, Chen Xiao's mind was calmed down. Within his body, the Thunder Virtue Heavenly Book turned slightly, expelling all negative emotions.
"My current identity is that of a special envoy of the Glazed Heaven Palace. You may doubt me, but you are not allowed to doubt the Glazed Heaven Palace."
Qingle High Immortal said solemnly, "According to the agreement among the major figures of the Glazed Heaven Palace, whoever obtains the inheritance of the Fubao Dao Venerable will become the Talisman Dao Master of the Glazed Dao Academy, the Dao Venerable of the Talisman Dao. This is beyond question."
What if I refuse?
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and then spoke.
"I will kill you immediately and strip you of the Flowing Light Flying Moon Talisman and all the inheritance of the Fubao Daoist. If your so-called master dares to compete with us for you, then the Glazed Heaven Palace will not hesitate to send out Fruit Status Immortal to annihilate that force."
"Qingle High Immortal very seriously."
Chen Xiao's heart began to tremble slightly. He finally understood why the Glazed Heaven Palace had bestowed the Seal of the City, and why the Mo Family had spared no effort in trying to win over the Chen Clan. They even changed their attitude towards the Chen Clan after seeing Chen Xiao's Substitute Puppet Talisman.
Everything, everything, is right here.
The Dao Master of the Glazed Dao Academy holds a lofty position in the Glazed Heaven, and even the higher-ups of the Glazed Heaven Palace treat him with utmost respect.
Just moments ago, Chen Xiao was having a headache over the Artifact Venerable Nalan, but now his identity has undergone a major transformation, becoming a Talisman Master whose status is on par with the Nalan Family.
"In that case, I have no choice but to agree."
Chen Xiao nodded and said.
Upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, Qingle High Immortal Xian finally smiled.
"Alright, now that I've agreed to become the Master of Talismanic Arts at the Glazed Dao Academy, responsible for transmitting talismanic techniques, what are my rewards?"
The next moment, a smile appeared on Chen Xiao's face.
"Benefits? Of course there are." Qingle High Immortal said with a smile, "At least, after you go to Red Capital, and from now on, no one in the entire Immortal World will dare to touch a single hair on your Chen Clan."
The first update of the day is here!
