Zhong Ziqing looked at Xu Qingtong and remained silent for a long time. He knew Xu Qingtong's concerns and understood his thinking. Yet for now, there was no way to resolve them.
He could not persuade the Five Great Sects to send Nascent Soul Cultivators to Bingzhou. If the Five Great Sects learned that a Teleportation Array still led there, they might even destroy it.
Moreover, Zhong Ziqing had a bad premonition: upheaval might be coming to Central Province too!
After turning it over in his mind, Zhong Ziqing still could not think of a good solution. He heaved a long sigh and said, "Qingtong, you can go back and bring those close to you here, then destroy the Teleportation Array!"
"Martial Uncle, wouldn't that be handing Qing and Bing Provinces to the Ghost Cultivators on a platter?" Du Siwen said.
Zhong Ziqing glanced at Du Siwen and said, "What else can we do? Do you have a solution? Qing and Bing Provinces were Ghost Cultivator territory to begin with. Even if our Juxian Academy sent people to wipe them out, who would be willing to stay in that place where even birds won't shit?"
Xu Qingtong understood what Zhong Ziqing meant, but Qingzhou was his birthplace, after all. He truly could not bear to watch Qing and Bing Provinces become a realm of ghosts!
Suddenly, something stirred in his mind, and he thought of a plan.
"Master, I've decided to go to Bingzhou and take a look first. Once there, I'll act as circumstances dictate. If I can help, I will; if I can't, I'll return!" Xu Qingtong said.
Zhong Ziqing considered this for a moment, then said, "Very well! The two of you can make a trip to Bingzhou!"
Xu Qingtong bowed to Zhong Ziqing and Lü Wenqiu
