Fang Qing toyed with the voice-transmission talisman, his expression playful.
Within the entire Azure Sea Sect, only he and the two Core Formation ancestors probably knew what Linghu Jin's Core Formation was really about.
An Outer Core was ultimately not true Core Formation. Sect Leader Linghu probably still had the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator—he was already quite old, wasn't he? If he could not achieve true Core Formation soon, the Sect Leader's faction would probably have quite a show to watch.
Fang Qing had only paid slight attention to this matter. The information Qin Ruxue shared next was what truly caught his interest: "The remnants of the Zhong Family and the Heavenly Heart Chain Islands have joined forces, establishing the Sea-Extinguishing Alliance," specifically targeting the Azure Sea Sect with assassinations and sabotage? The Azure Sea Sect had responded in kind, branding them a demonic faction?
The Sea-Extinguishing Alliance was undoubtedly a gathering place for defeated dogs seeking warmth in numbers. Not only would the remnants of those two Core Formation forces join, but other powers that hated the Azure Sea Sect—such as the remnants of the Hua Family from the former Flying Fish Island—would likely join as well.
By that reckoning, it was indeed a considerable potential threat.
Of course, what truly concerned Fang Qing was still the news of Zhong Lingxiu.
"He hasn't shown himself for quite some time now—"
"What a pity, what a pity—"
He was still thinking about the Ice Soul Pearl Talisman Treasure on Zhong Lingxiu.
That was a powerful treasure capable of deciding the outcome of a battle with a single strike.
Even among Dao Foundation cultivators in Ancient Shu, it was likely no small matter.
If he knew Zhong Lingxiu's whereabouts, he would not mind bringing people to surround and kill
