A Visit: Care to Cast a Line?
As before, Li Yunjing contacted Xiao Tianxing directly and told him the general Xiao Tianxing.
At the same time, Xiao Tianxing was instructed to contact as many people as possible, preferably True Disciple of the Immortal Alliance, those who could represent a major power.
With these people backing the Jin Household, the Daozhen Sect would likely be hesitant to act rashly and would not dare to confront them directly.
As soon as Li Yunjing contacted Xiao Tianxing, Xiao Tianxing immediately replied.
He said he was aware of Li Yunjing's request and would help Li Yunjing.
Upon learning the news, Li Yunjing first expressed his gratitude.
He then planned to go to the Jin Household and have a good talk with Jin Ruoxu.
Before leaving, Li Yunjing went to see his master.
He arranged for his master to take over the Luozhen Sect while he was away, becoming the acting sect leader.
Nangong Chengyu was already familiar with this matter, so he didn't ask Li Yunjing what he was going to do and simply agreed.
Heading to the teleportation array, Li Yunjing set the coordinates to Heaven-Gazing City.
The teleportation array was activated, and a burst of light engulfed Li Yunjing. The next moment, he disappeared from the teleportation array.
Li Yunjing arrived at Heaven-Gazing City via a teleportation array.
Outside the teleportation array, Jin Qiwu, the eldest son of the Jin Household, was eagerly waiting.
The moment Jin Qiwu saw Li Yunjing appear in the teleportation array, he immediately smiled.
"Sect Leader Li, you've arrived!"
Li Yunjing looked at Jin Qiwu, stepped out of the teleportation array, and asked curiously, "Were you waiting here specifically for me?"
Jin Qiwu nodded. "Of course, my father knew that Sect Leader Li would definitely come when he sent that letter, so he instructed me to wait here."
"Yes, let's go see your father." Li Yunjing nodded gently.
The two went to the Jin Household's exclusive teleportation array, and through this array, Li Yunjing once again arrived at the Jin Household's floating island.
Jin Ruoxu's floating island is located at the very top of the entire group of floating islands.
Above the nine heavens, a long river of Spiritual Qi descends like the Milky Way pouring down from the sky.
As soon as Li Yunjing stepped onto the island, he felt every pore on his body open up, frantically absorbing and exhaling the surrounding Spiritual Qi.
The Spiritual Qi on this island is incredibly pure, completely unlike the outside world which contains some impurities.
"This was my father's work; he constructed a grand array centered on the celestial sphere to Spirit Transformation."
Jin Qiwu explained to Li Yunjing from the side.
Li Yunjing nodded. "Your father is very capable; most people couldn't do something like this."
After a few words, Li Yunjing arrived at Jin Ruoxu's residence.
Jin Ruoxu was fishing, Jin Qiwu gestured for Li Yunjing to go over there on his own, as he didn't want to disturb him.
Then, Jin Qiwu bowed to Jin Ruoxu and left.
Li Yunjing stepped forward and sat down next to Jin Ruoxu.
He gazed quietly at the small pond before him.
The pond was perfectly still, without a single ripple.
There wasn't a single fish in it, and even when Li Yunjing tried to probe with his Divine Sense, a membrane on the surface of the pond prevented Li Yunjing from seeing anything.
"Spin the ball?"
At this moment, Jin Ruoxu suddenly spoke.
After thinking about it, Li Yunjing figured he had nothing better to do, so he nodded in agreement.
Jin Ruoxu took out a bamboo fishing rod.
The fishing rod was very simple; it had only a line tied to the top, a fishhook tied to the line, and nothing else.
"In my pond, no bait is needed for fishing; those who are willing will take the bait," Jin Ruoxu said.
Li Yunjing was surprised and immediately cast out the fishing hook.
The fishing hook sank into the pond, and Li Yunjing sat down, waiting quietly.
At this moment, Jin Ruoxu asked, "Sect Leader Li, is it possible to make contact with the Immortal Alliance?"
Li Yunjing said, "Don't worry, I've already contacted Senior Brother Xiao, he'll handle it."
"Could it be Xiao Tianxing's True Disciple?" Jin Ruoxu was surprised.
"Exactly."
Upon seeing Li Yunjing admit it, Jin Ruoxu breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Tianxing is quite famous. He is an orphan, but he was lucky when he was young and was discovered by Wang Heng by chance.
Seeing that Xiao Tianxing all alone, Wang Heng took him back to the Immortal Alliance.
After joining the Immortal Alliance, Xiao Tianxing gradually revealed his remarkable talent.
Later, he even mastered the Daozhen techniques left behind by the True Immortal Sword Immortal of the Immortal Alliance.
This allowed him to successfully become Wang Heng's disciple and Immortal Alliance True Disciple.
Therefore, the person behind Xiao Tianxing is Elder Wang Heng of the Immortal Alliance.
Li Yunjing's contact with him meant that the Daozhen Sect was no longer a threat.
Although the Daozhen Sect is stronger than the Jin Household, it has several cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm in charge.
But in front of Wang Heng, they were nothing.
"I must thank Sect Leader Li for this," Jin Ruoxu said.
Li Yunjing smiled and said, "No need to thank me, you should thank Senior Brother Xiao."
"Senior Jin, if Senior Brother Xiao comes, he will definitely want a share of the spoils. I think you should be aware of that."
Jin Ruoxu nodded. "Of course, Sect Leader Li, rest assured, I won't make a mistake on such a trivial matter."
Li Yunjing nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "There's one more thing. It's possible that Senior Brother Xiao isn't the only one who came this time."
To ensure we could intimidate the Daozhen Sect, I instructed Senior Brother Xiao to continue recruiting.
If several people arrive, I think the number of participants in this Qianyuan Cave Abode will increase again.
Upon hearing this, Jin Ruoxu immediately replied, "Sect Leader Li, rest assured, I know exactly what to do."
Jin Ruoxu was prepared.
After all, who would be willing to ask for help without offering something in return?
Given that it's almost impossible for Jin Household Jin Household to monopolize the Qianyuan Cave Abode, allocating a portion of it would be acceptable to them.
Just then, the fishing rod in Li Yunjing's hand suddenly moved.
Li Yunjing was taken aback at first, then quickly reacted, gripped the fishing rod with both hands, and swung it to catch the fish.
But the next moment, a force exploded in Li Yunjing's palm.
The fishhook seemed to have hooked a towering mountain, the fishing rod was stretched into a bow, but the fish still hadn't surfaced.
"What kind of fish is so heavy?" Li Yunjing asked in surprise.
At this moment, Li Yunjing increased the pressure in his hand again, and he could barely hold onto the fishing rod.
Li Yunjing instinctively channeled his internal Law Power to help him grip the fishing rod tightly and pull the fish out.
Jin Ruoxu stood there, stunned, watching the scene unfold.
His eyes were filled with disbelief; he couldn't believe that Li Yunjing had caught a fish so quickly.
When he came to his senses and saw Li Yunjing wrestling with the fish, Jin Ruoxu immediately spoke up:
"Sect Leader Li, you mustn't fight it head-on. Walk it around first, and when it's exhausted, pull it out!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing felt somewhat annoyed.
That force is so immense; if I relax even slightly, it might escape.
Li Yunjing didn't want to let him get away, so he didn't heed Jin Ruoxu's advice.
The situation remained deadlocked for some time, with Li Yunjing remaining calm and composed, never letting his guard down for a moment.
Finally, the force coming from the fishing rod gradually weakened.
Li Yunjing was overjoyed; there was hope!
As that force continued to weaken, Li Yunjing continued to increase his own power.
Ripples gradually appeared on the surface of the pond, and a dark shadow was slowly rising to the surface.
Not long after, the dark figure revealed a corner of itself.
When Li Yunjing saw that corner, he was immediately stunned; that thing didn't look like a fish.
As the shadowy figure gradually revealed its full form, Li Yunjing was filled with disbelief.
What I caught wasn't a fish at all, it was clearly a wooden box!
