The Wu Country.
The location for this joint meeting of the Canglan Alliance was Yujin City, where the Su clan of Yu Liu of Wu resided.
Although the Yuliu Su Clan has a Foundation Establishment from the Jade Spring Sect in charge, relying on this connection, they have been able to barely protect themselves in the past few years under the command of the three sects and one mountain in Wu Country... oh no, now it should be called the three sects.
But given the current situation, even the smaller sects with weaker foundations are frantically seeking powerful backers.
How could a small cultivation Lineage like the Yuliu Su Clan possibly remain uninvolved?
After receiving a letter from the Jade Spring Sect informing them that the sect intended to hold the first joint meeting of the Vast Waves Alliance in Jade Brocade City, Li Muxian and Su Rong, a married couple, briefly discussed the matter and decided that Su Rong would move her entire family under the protection of the Turbid Wave Pavilion.
Inside the waterside pavilion.
Sunlight falls on the lake, creating a shimmering effect that reflects on the couple in the waterside pavilion.
Li Muxian seemed puzzled and said, "Madam, if you find it difficult to speak, why don't I write a letter to the sect..."
Su Rong placed her delicate finger on her husband's lips and sighed softly, "I understand what you mean, my husband. How could I not wish to join the Jade Spring Sect and receive its protection?"
"However, at least half of my Yuliu Su Clan clan, who have been rooted in this land for generations, are unwilling to accept this."
"Being located within the territory of the Wu Country, yet pledging allegiance to the major sect of the Jing Kingdom, even though the Turbid Wave Pavilion is a member of the Vast Waves Alliance and has ties with the Jade Spring Sect, they probably wouldn't stand by and watch."
Li Muxian fell silent for a moment; this was something he hadn't considered before.
He simply believed that his own Jade Spring Sect was powerful enough that even if Yuliu Su Clan joined the Jade Spring Sect, the Turbid Wave Pavilion would probably not say anything.
This is because he has always considered himself a member of the Jade Spring Sect, which is why he thinks this way.
Su Rong is the head of the Su Clan family. She loves her husband and children, but she also has to consider the entire Lineage's interests in order to fulfill her role as the head of the family.
After pondering for a long time, Li Muxian slowly said, "Don't rush, let me go and see what Dao Child and True Lord have to say."
Su Rong leaned against her husband's chest, feeling the joyful beating of his heart beneath her chest, and her own anxious heart calmed down a little.
On the day of the joint meeting.
Jade Brocade City was completely renovated by the Su Clan, who devoted all their efforts to its restoration, giving it a brand-new look.
When Chen Shuangbai and True Lord Jihai arrived at Jade Brocade City, they saw two figures standing at the city gate from afar—it was Li Muxian and Su Rong, the couple.
Li Muxian was dressed in the robes of an inner disciple the Jade Spring Sect, with an upright posture and piercing eyes.
Su Rong, dressed in the formal attire of the Su Clan family head, was dignified and elegant, with a composed air about her.
Upon seeing the arrival of the Jade Spring Sect's carriage, the two hurriedly stepped forward and bowed in greeting.
"Disciple Li Muxian, accompanied by his wife Su Rong, respectfully welcomes the True Lord and the Dao Child!"
Immediately, the couple bowed to Li Changfeng beside them and said, "Greetings, Father!"
Li Changfeng came here to see his descendants, but he was used to being a strict father and still held a grudge about his son staying in the Wu Country. So he just hummed softly, which was considered his approval.
True Lord Jihai took everything in, but said nothing, only saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
Su Rong quickly replied, " Your True Lord, you are too kind to us!"
" The Jade Spring Sect has shown great kindness to my Su Clan. It is an honor for my Su Clan to be able to contribute my modest efforts to the Vast Waves Alliance."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Li Muxian led the way towards the council hall in the city.
Chen Shuangbai noticed that, in addition to the members of the Su Clan, there were also many cultivators dressed in various colored robes moving about in the city, who were obviously representatives of the other two factions who had arrived earlier.
Chen Shuangbai withdrew his gaze and asked Li Muxian, "Senior Brother Li, have the other two sects arrived yet?"
Li Muxian replied, " Dao Child may call me Muxian, Daoist. True Lord Qingyu of the Turbid Wave Pavilion has arrived and is currently resting in the waterside pavilion. Flower Washing Sword Sect is farther away and should take a little longer to arrive."
Chen Shuangbai nodded and said nothing more.
Li Muxian added, "Besides, many cultivation Lineage and small sects in the Wu Country have sent envoys to wish to meet with you True Lord. My wife has already arranged for them to rest in the city."
Chen Shuangbai nodded, having a general idea in mind.
The council hall was converted from the original city lord's mansion. It is evident that the Su Clan has put in a great deal of effort, with lanterns and decorations everywhere, and handsome young women and boys walking around. It is clear that they have put in a lot of effort for this day.
After passing through a layer of light, all the noise from the outside world was shut out.
Chen Shuangbai looked around and saw that the furnishings in the hall were quite simple. In the center was a round jade table, and there were no grand master chairs around it. There were round magic arrays on the ground. As long as a person stood in the magic array, a jade seat would be generated by urging their thoughts and Law Power.
You can produce as many as you need.
This also prevented the three families from developing rifts due to unequal distribution.
Chen Shuangbai looked at Li Muxian, who smiled and said, "My wife handled everything."
Chen Shuangbai praised, "Sister-in-law has a clever mind."
Su Rong quickly said she dared not.
Not long after.
From the side hall, a monk strolled out.
Even before the person arrived, a clear and refreshing spiritual energy, accompanied by Divine Ability radiance, was brought into the hall.
Looking around, Chen Shuangbai saw that the person who came was tall and slender, wearing a moon-white robe with a light blue crane cloak over it. A light blue jade pendant was tied at his waist, swaying gently with his steps and reflecting a warm luster.
He looked to be around thirty or forty years old, with a handsome face and gentle eyes. Standing there, he was like a clear spring, refreshing and pleasant to behold.
It was none other than True Lord Qingyu of the Turbid Wave Pavilion — Mu Linyu.
True Lord Qingyu's gaze fell upon True Lord Jihai, his eyes brightened, and he quickened his pace, stepping forward to pay his respects. " Jihai, it's been several years since we last met. You have indeed achieved the Nascent Soul!"
True Lord Jihai smiled and replied, "It really has been a long time."
"Thinking back to the last time we met, we were just beginning our journey to the Golden Core, like reckless, unruly monkeys... Hahaha..."
The Turbid Wave Pavilion, the Flower Washing Sword Sect, and the Jade Spring Sect have always been on good terms, and there is a bond between them in each generation. The two Nascent Soul True Lord had a pleasant chat when they met again.
As the two were exchanging pleasantries, a hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the hall.
Immediately afterwards, a clear Sword Essence carrying pear blossoms fell from the sky, passed through the light curtain outside the hall, and revealed an old Daoist priest wearing a feather robe, with a golden pattern between his eyebrows, and an air of otherworldly elegance.
It was none other than the Nascent Soul True Lord of the Flower Washing Sword Sect — Old Man Fish Pillow.
Upon seeing this senior arrive, True Lord Jihai and True Lord Qingyu bowed to him in unison, addressing him as their senior uncle.
