Langya Sacred Land's Response

Kong Xiuping's swift return to Langya Mountain surprised even the Sage Master.

We've only been gone a few days, haven't we?

Why are you back so soon?

"How did things go?" the Sage Master asked his son.

"Dad!" Kong Xiuping looked at his father with great grievance. If he weren't so old, he would have really wanted to cry. "Something's happened!"

The Sage Master raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's the problem?"

Kong Xiuping simply took out the Azure Cloud Gazette and handed it to the Sage Master: "Look!"

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, the Sage Master saw all the contents of the Azure Cloud Gazette.

A strange expression appeared on his face as he stared at Kong Xiuping.

Kong Xiuping blushed deeply and lowered his head.

He knew very well that he had handled this matter terribly.

He even feared that he might cause trouble for the Langya Sacred Land, to the point that he dared not look at his father.

The Sage Master knew his son well; of course, he couldn't agree to an alliance with the Azure Cloud Sect. He asked, "Tell me in detail about your trip to the Azure Cloud Sect!"

Kong Xiuping began his story from the beginning, and as he spoke, he became increasingly indignant.

"I truly never imagined that Zhang Yang, that damned bastard, would be so enthusiastic, it was all a ruse. And that person next to me patting something around, I also thought it was some kind of ceremony organized by their Azure Cloud Sect, but I never expected..."

The Sage Master couldn't help but rub his forehead; this was fucking...

Even if Kong Xiuping went, he'd probably fall for it!

Because these are all very ordinary actions, and Kong Xiuping's words and actions before and after are perfectly normal.

Kong Xiuping didn't even mention anything about the alliance between Langya Sacred Land and Azure Cloud Sect.

However, a few photos and an article actually created the illusion of an alliance between the Azure Cloud Sect and the Langya Sacred Land!

Speechless!

Even the Sage Master was speechless, because he really didn't know what to say.

He sighed and said to Kong Xiuping, "This isn't your fault. I admit I underestimated the cunning of that kid from the Azure Cloud Sect... Never mind, calm yourself down first. I'll go to the Langya Sacred Hall and have a meeting with them to discuss what to do."

When the Sage Master went to the Langya Sacred Hall, the other elders had already arrived.

Because, the moment everyone received the Azure Cloud Gazette, they knew that if this matter wasn't handled properly, it could cause a lot of trouble.

The Sage Master glanced at everyone and gave a wry smile, "I think you all already know what happened, right?"

What do you all think we should do to get through this?

Jia Sheng immediately launched into a tirade. "That damned brat from the Azure Cloud Sect, he really should be killed. Or, we should just have someone assassinate him. We mustn't let this kind of menace live!"

The other elders were speechless.

If Zhang Yang were so easy to kill, wouldn't they have gone to kill him instead?

He was covered in Spirit Artifact, and possessed three Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifacts. To kill someone like that, one would need to be at least at the Dao Integration Realm.

Moreover, even if someone at the Dao Integration Realm were to make a move, it would still take a certain amount of time to kill them.

The Azure Cloud Continent has practically become Forbidden Land for those at the Dao Integration Realm. Anyone who reveals their aura is practically courting death.

Let's not let Zhang Yang fail to kill him and cause another disaster.

Most importantly, Zhang Yang rarely leaves the Azure Cloud Sect.

With sixteen Tribulation Realm experts guarding the Azure Cloud Sect, assassination is out of the question.

Tu Shan sighed and said, "The best course of action now is to send someone to explain the situation to the other major sects!"

"If we explain, will they believe us?" someone asked.

"Believe it or not, our Langya Sacred Land has never been allied with the Azure Cloud Sect!"

The Sage Master frowned, wondering if sending someone to other sects to explain would make him feel guilty.

Furthermore, that kid clearly intends to use this incident to his advantage.

Based on his understanding of Zhang Yang, this matter couldn't possibly end with just this one action; there would definitely be more to come.

If they try to explain this to other sects, wouldn't it backfire?

The Sage Master thought about it a lot, but felt that no matter what he did, it wasn't quite right.

He thought for a moment, then used his Divine Sense to inquire of Kong Xiuping, "Has the Azure Cloud Sect made any further moves? Also, have you found out any information about their Law Treasure? Think carefully!"

Kong Xiuping fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he suddenly said, "I heard that beast Zhang Yang say that the Azure Cloud Sect is going to hold a military exercise in six months and has invited our Langya Sacred Land to participate. As for the Law Treasure weapon, before we could even talk about it, it was..."

Really!

The Sage Master nodded slightly, guessing that the Azure Cloud Sect had other plans.

He addressed the assembled elders, saying, "The Azure Cloud Sect is planning a military exercise in six months and has invited our Langya Sacred Land to participate."

Jia Sheng furious. "You think you can fool our Langya Sacred Land? We absolutely cannot go to this military exercise!"

Tu Shan also said with a wry smile, "Sage Master, I think it's really not advisable for us to go to the Azure Cloud Continent to participate in any Azure Cloud Sect activities."

If we go, I suspect they'll take pictures of us again and make a fuss about it in the Azure Cloud Gazette.

The best solution is simply to ignore the Azure Cloud Sect.

Let them do whatever they want; we shouldn't interfere, ask questions, or participate. That's the best approach.

Because the methods of the Azure Cloud Sect are impossible to guard against!

The Sage Master nodded slightly and said, "Then it's settled. Let's wait and see how things develop, and decide what to do in six months."

By the way, there's no need to go to the various sects to explain things.

If anyone asks, we'll explain; otherwise, we'll pretend nothing happened.

The others nodded, agreeing that such a cold approach was also a viable solution.

"But this Azure Cloud Gazette!" The Sage Master took out the Azure Cloud Gazette and showed it to the others. "I'm thinking, shouldn't our Langya Sacred Land also get one? They can say what they want with the Azure Cloud Sect, and we can say what we want!"

"That works! Let's create Langya Gazette too!"

Everyone thinks so.

"Oh my, isn't this Qing Han?" an elder exclaimed in surprise. "When did Qing Han grow up to be so beautiful?"

"Shouldn't we be wondering why Azure Cloud Gazette has Qing Han's image on it? What is Azure Cloud Sect up to this time?"

The elders pondered deeply.

After Kong Xiuping was fooled, they always felt that every move of the Azure Cloud Sect had a hidden meaning.

Because of the Azure Cloud Gazette that Kong Xiuping and the others brought back, they only handed over one copy.

As for the first issue of the Azure Cloud Gazette, it didn't involve any serious business; it was just a collectible!

The Sage Master frowned and pondered for a long time, unable to figure it out. He then used his Divine Sense to probe Kong Xiuping, intending to ask him about the specifics of the matter.

The Divine Sense had barely finished speaking when he saw Kong Xiuping holding a copy of the Azure Cloud Gazette, staring intently at the person in the photo.

The Sage Master swept his Divine Sense across the Azure Cloud Gazette, then rubbed his forehead again, sitting speechlessly in the main seat of the Langya Sacred Hall.

How come his perfectly healthy son went to the Azure Cloud Sect and came back acting strangely?
