After Lü Wenqiu received Luo Yichen's message, he summoned Xu Qingtong to his cave abode.
"Qingtong, I just received a message from Luo Yichen. The Netherworld Cultivators bypassed us and went to the Anyang Sect."
"Oh! Have they finally run out of patience?" Xu Qingtong said. "How many Netherworld Cultivators are there?"
"Four at the Spirit Transformation level and eight at the Nascent Soul level."
Xu Qingtong smiled. "Martial Uncle, if I remember correctly, six at the late Body-Shaping stage came to attack our Juxian Academy last time. I ambushed them and blew two of them to death, leaving four. Could the four attacking the Anyang Sect be those same four who survived my blast?"
"Hard to say. We won't know until we see them!"
Xu Qingtong paused, then asked, "Martial Uncle, are you planning to reinforce the Anyang Sect?"
"Yes. Luo Yichen asked for help, and I can hardly refuse. After all, we've always been allies."
Xu Qingtong asked, "When are we going? Who are we sending?"
After a moment's thought, Lü Wenqiu said, "The Netherworld Cultivators have four at the Spirit Transformation level. Sending ordinary people would accomplish nothing. I intend to go myself and join forces with Fellow Daoist Luo to keep those four occupied. The Anyang Sect will have to deal with the other Netherworld Cultivators themselves!"
"Martial Uncle, I'll go with you!" Xu Qingtong said.
"You haven't reached Spirit Transformation. What use would you be there?" Lü Wenqiu glanced at him.
"My original body has already reached the Nascent Soul late stage, my incarnation has practiced a Netherworld cultivation technique, and I have Jingtong's help. Dealing with one Spirit Transformation-level Netherworld Cultivator shouldn't pose any danger!" Xu Qingtong said.
Lü Wenqiu considered it and felt that Xu Qingtong's words were probably true, so he nodded
