While the master of the Technique School spoke, the others remained hesitant and observing.
It seems like they're deciding whether or not to trust.
Lord Shang, Legalist School, had already stood up.
"Since the Master of the Technique School possesses such talent, then I will trouble you."
"When I return later, the Legalist School will surely offer me provisions in gratitude."
In just two sentences, the matter has been settled.
Before anyone could react, Lord Shang stood up and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
Then, his figure vanished in an instant.
The speed of their actions caught many off guard.
"They've left?"
"Very well, let them go. The Venerable Miscellaneous School's life lamp hasn't gone out yet, so we shouldn't be in too much trouble."
"Now that the Technique School is gone, there are still people he can use."
"Let's investigate first. If things turn out to be wrong, we can discuss it further."
"..."
This is basically the opinion of most parties.
Nobody wanted to cause any more trouble; they had finally managed to quell the Western Continent Dragon Calamity.
How much grain and provisions did the household pay, and how much land did they lose?
Now that things have calmed down, everyone naturally wants to relax and recuperate.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the master of the Technique School breathed a sigh of relief.
He only felt that he was incredibly wise.
Anyway, he's just a distant relative with whom he has no blood ties.
Even with Heavenly Fate intervention, he is not of the main family bloodline.
Selling it off as a business would be the best course of action for the Lineage.
Feeling cheerful, I left with the others.
Seeing this, Bing Wujin said nothing more.
Watching the Mahayana practitioners depart from the main hall.
His expression grew increasingly gloomy.
Military School strategists' ancestral teaching: Plan before you act.
Some things are worth gambling on, while others are clearly not.
He felt uneasy until Chu Changyue reported back.
What if?
What if the Dragon Calamity truly hasn't ended?
Or what if, as everyone jokingly speculates, the Dragon Calamity truly vanished into the starry sky?
Did Chu Changyue actually give chase or not?
What if you chase after them but fail to catch up?
These questions and concerns made Bing Wuji increasingly frustrated.
In the end, he could only let out a long sigh.
never mind!
Since the matter has already been decided, let's just leave it at that.
With each faction harboring its own ulterior motives, relying solely on Military School is ultimately detrimental to their own survival.
Furthermore, don't Technique School still have talented and gifted individuals to utilize?
If one cannot discern the Dragon Fate, then this person destined by Heavenly Fate must still have some influence.
Let them investigate first.
Of course, to be on the safe side... Bing Wuji always needs to be prepared.
As I was lost in thought, a figure suddenly appeared behind me.
The visitor spoke respectfully.
"Master, all the men selected from the collateral branches for the reconstruction are ready."
"The necessary state shells have also been selected."
Upon hearing this, Bing Wuji remained silent.
His gaze drifted out of the hall, his eyes fixed on the distance.
The Military School's skills had been passed down through several generations to him.
The appearance of the Western Continent Dragon Calamity made him see the weaknesses of Military School.
It's time to make some changes.
Military School need fresh blood; they need to devise strategies for recruiting new blood and skilled hunting dogs.
Even if these are things he despises the most.
But reality forces us to give it a try.
Otherwise, if another Dragon Calamity were to occur, we would be at a disadvantage.
"Go, and make sure you do a good job."
Bing Wuji spoke in a low voice, withdrawing his gaze.
"Yes, sir."
The figure bowed and accepted the order, then vanished...
"Whoosh!"
A soft sound, like something cutting through the air, rang out.
Qing Huayu's figure appeared on an island.
This place is Endless Sea, where an island is located.
It was also a place devoid of inspiration and desolate.
Since escaping from the Western Continent, he has been flying rapidly across the Endless Sea.
There is rarely a pause.
Apart from resting his Spiritual Power, he never stopped.
Now, having encountered a region with faint spiritual energy and the presence of living beings, he finally couldn't help but pause.
He wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.
Qing Huayu surveyed the island with her Divine Sense, her voice panting.
"After all these years, the Dragon of the Western Continent has probably forgotten my existence."
"Phew... Even if they haven't forgotten, they probably still can't find me."
"This place, by my calculations, should belong to the Endless Eastern Sea, which is quite far from the Western Continent."
"It's deserted and inaccessible; it probably can't find my location."
After catching her breath, Qing Huayu felt slightly relieved.
Over the years, his heart has never been at peace.
While traveling, I recalled the white-robed figure I had seen in the Endless Western Sea years ago.
He couldn't help but tremble all over.
What the master said was that the dragon of the Western Continent was no match for them.
Who would have thought that there would be a cultivator far surpassing the Void Return Realm cultivator beside him?
Dao Integration? Tribulation Transcendence?
No, he would never forget that aura in his life. It was Mahayana; only Mahayana could possess such a powerful aura!
besides...
"Cultivation by the Dragon Fate is even rarer than my Heavenly Fate."
"Its fate and its cause bring trouble."
"Today there is Mahayana protecting the path; tomorrow, perhaps an even more powerful one will appear."
Who can guarantee the sophistication and skill of their methods?
Thinking back to what I saw in the Western Continent back then.
Qing Huayu felt only relief.
I'm so glad I was able to escape from the Dragon Fate.
I'm so glad I can still freely enjoy the sunshine on this beach today.
It did not turn into a cold, lifeless corpse.
He was not taken in as a slave.
This was already a blessing for him.
Thinking of this, Qing Huayu took a deep breath.
Looking at this rather beautiful little island, I decided to stay there for the time being.
It's nice that it's deserted; at least it's peaceful.
If I ever get bored, I can kidnap a couple of fishermen's kids and take them as apprentices to relieve my boredom.
In short, whatever you do is better than dealing with that dragon from the Western Continent.
With that thought in mind, he immediately got up and went to the island's beautiful beach.
He casually took out a scroll from his storage Law Treasure.
He threw it on the beach and sat down cross-legged.
Then he tossed out a tea table, several teapots and teacups, and brewed a cup of excellent spiritual tea.
Invoke Spiritual Power and boil the tea.
The aroma of tea wafted through the air, and the warm sunlight fell on my face.
A refreshing sea breeze ruffled his hair.
In the distance, the melodious calls of seabirds can be heard from time to time.
Take a sip of the rich spiritual tea, and chew the tea leaves between your teeth.
It transforms into pure Spiritual Power, bringing comfort.
How delightful! How delightful!
Qing Huayu, immersed in the moment, felt content.
I feel that I wouldn't trade this moment for any sect leader position.
Even if the patriarch of the main family personally promised to take him back to the main family, he would not agree.
Cultivating immortality, cultivating immortality... at this moment... he is an immortal!
Feeling relaxed, Qing Huayu couldn't help but let out a soft hum.
His face was relaxed.
They were enjoying themselves immensely.
If he could, he would want to freeze this moment.
But things don't always go as planned.
This tranquility did not last long.
Not long after.
A strange, throbbing sensation suddenly arose deep within his body, as his blood flowed.
Immediately afterwards.
A subtle, rough message emanated from his bloodline.
It suddenly entered my Sea of Consciousness.
This caused Qing Huayu's eyes to snap open instantly, her face filled with surprise and disbelief, her lips trembling.
"What?! You want me to set foot on the Western Continent again?!"
