Peak Master Xu Thought He Might Be Up to It

"Oh?"

Gu Chen's expression shifted, and he smiled:

"Does Peak Master Xu want to eat more?"

As the saying goes, Good Things Come in Pairs.

There wasn't just one Black Dragon; one was left over from last time and is still growing.

Now that Xu Kun has said this, the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Seeing the sect leader's reaction upon learning that the matter wasn't over yet, Lu Changzhi chuckled inwardly.

This probably ignited the competitive spirit among men.

"Um?"

On the other side, upon hearing what Lu Changzhi said, Xu Kun was slightly taken aback and subconsciously replied:

"Besides?"

As she asked the questions, a hint of excitement involuntarily appeared on her face.

However, before Lu Changzhi could answer, Xu Kun snapped out of his reverie and waved his hand:

"Take a couple of days off, take a couple of days off."

"I'm going to talk about something else."

Then he spoke to Lu Changzhi about it.

After listening, Lu Changzhi understood.

It turns out that after this dietary supplement, I feel that I have improved in all aspects, including comprehension and aptitude, compared to before.

So he decided to take a look at the Heaven-Veiling Illusion Array on his Hidden Origin Peak.

Try to see if you can grasp anything from it.

In short.

Peak Master Xu felt like he had succeeded.

"Peak Master Xu, please come with me."

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment, then stood up.

Before long, the two arrived at the eye of the Heaven-Veiling Illusion Array.

"Now."

With a soft shout, the array patterns of the Heaven-Veiling Illusion Array appeared around the two of them.

Together with the array's core, they form a complex and awe-inspiring spectacle.

"This is happening!"

Xu Kun's expression suddenly changed, and an incredulous look appeared on his face.

He looked at it repeatedly for a long time before it seemed he had just realized he could breathe, his chest rising and falling noticeably.

"Changzhi."

Suddenly, Xu Kun seemed to remember something, turned his head and said:

"Judging from how easily you manipulated this formation just now, could it be that you also have some knowledge of Dao of Formations?"

He could naturally see that since Dharma Form Peak specialized in the art of magic arrays.

The massive and complex formation before us is definitely Saint Rank Mid Grade.

Even higher.

Such a formation is difficult to control without a certain Dao of Formations mastery of formations.

For a moment, Xu Kun seemed to have discovered a treasure, staring intently at Lu Changzhi.

"Peak Master Xu overestimates me."

Lu Changzhi gently shook his head:

"It's just because this formation is easy to control; I'm still not very knowledgeable about Dao of Formations."

This Heaven-Veiling Illusion Array is useful because it was provided by the system; he only needs to find a place to set it up.

Xu Kun nodded and said:

"If you're interested in Dao of Formations, remember to let me know."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be right for me to just freeload here every day without doing anything in return."

Lu Changzhi smiled upon hearing this:

"What are you saying, Peak Master Xu?"

"Eat what you want, drink what you want, no worries about food or drink—that's the specialty of Hidden Origin Peak."

In response, Xu Kun expressed his deep satisfaction with the statement, "I am very pleased."

Not long after, Xu Kun sat down cross-legged and tried to comprehend the Heaven-Veiling Illusion Array.

Lu Changzhi watched for a while, and then it got dark.

Although there was no real conversation, it still seemed quite interesting.

Not long after it started, Xu Kun frowned.

A short while later, the wrinkles tightened even more.

From shallow traces, to the word "Chuan", and then to twisting.

This scene made him shake his head slightly.

"It seems I won't figure it out anytime soon."

With a wave of his arm, he took out the Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves and teapot, brewed a pot for Xu Kun, and placed it beside him.

"Peak Master Xu, don't overwork yourself. There's tea nearby, remember to drink it."

Then, Lu Changzhi got up and left.

In the blink of an eye, a night had passed.

When the sun was high in the sky, Lu Changzhi got up and went out.

"Um?"

"Is he still trying to comprehend it?"

Lu Changzhi murmured something.

"It seems that figuring things out is not an easy thing."

However, I don't really understand this stuff.

It's definitely not simple.

At this thought, Lu Changzhi thought of Xiao Ye.

Could this kid also be racking his brains every day trying to figure this out?!

After sensing it, Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.

Xiao Ye indeed went to read ten thousand volumes again.

With his mind focused, Lu Changzhi concentrated on the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree.

"It's time to move the tea bushes."

I thought of it last time, but didn't do anything about it.

It's time to get busy.

I used to think it was a lot, but now it doesn't seem like so much.

"If only the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree could be planted in large numbers like the Marrow Cleansing Fruit Tree."

With a soft voice, Lu Changzhi walked towards the Marrow Cleansing Fruit Tree.

The system, however, spoke up on its own initiative, saying:

"Master, please take your time thinking about it."

Cloud Heaven Holy Land.

The atmosphere inside the hall was extremely solemn.

"The Dongfang Clan has some nerve! They dare to attack even a quasi-holy son of my Cloud Heaven Holy Land. Do they really think that just because he's far away, they can't do anything to them?!"

"This time, the Dongfang Clan has overstepped its bounds. In terms of true strength, they are still inferior to my Holy Land. How dare they do such a thing?"

The identities and motives of the two individuals previously apprehended have now been thoroughly investigated.

"Although his Dongfang Clan has a grudge against the ancestors of the Heavenly Azure Saint, now that Qin Jiuxiao has received the inheritance, he should put the past behind him. Instead, he has repeatedly attacked and put Qin Jiuxiao in danger. If our Holy Land does not react, he may think that we are afraid of him."

Everyone was outraged by this incident.

If the Dongfang Clan were stronger overall, there would be no need for such measures.

However, those who are weaker should be aware of their own limitations.

At this moment, an elder spoke up:

"His Dongfang Clan's ambitions are probably quite large; they likely have long harbored plans for the Eastern Region."

"There must be a traitor planted within the Mystic One Sect. Otherwise, how could they have wiped out the Mystic One Sect so cleanly in such a short time without inside help?"

Another elder, upon hearing this, nodded in agreement:

"What Mystic One Sect said about Li Qingfeng before is probably true. He was most likely an imposter from the Dongfang Clan, used to divert our attention."

"Now, that needle tray and the legacy of the Heavenly Azure Saint must be in the hands of his Dongfang Clan."

The elders all nodded in agreement.

They strongly agree with this statement.

It's indeed highly unlikely that a mere sect like Mystic One Sect would do such a thing.

That makes sense now.

"The Dongfang Clan likely had a long-standing plan regarding the Eastern Region. They seized the opportunity presented by the Heavenly Azure Ruins to see Qin Jiuxiao obtain the inheritance, and thus harbored a desire to seize it. They then used a clever scheme to divert attention by involving the Mystic One Sect."

"I must say, this is truly a brilliant scheme." An elder took a deep breath and analyzed:

"Now, the Dongfang Clan has not only obtained the Sacred Artifact of my Heavenly Azure Holy Land, but also swept away the treasures of the Mystic One Sect, and even pinned the blame for destroying the Mystic One Sect on my Cloud Heaven Holy Land."

In short, there were no benefits, only a lot of criticism.

The Holy Lord listened Jingjing for a long time before slowly speaking:

"This debt, my Cloud Heaven Holy Land, will not settle with the Dongfang Clan so easily."

"But..."

He paused, then continued:

"Now everyone in the world is saying that our Cloud Heaven Holy Land destroyed the Mystic One Sect, and the other two holy lands are getting restless."

"Although the Eastern Region is not a good place, with this incident as a starting point, it's estimated that it won't be long before it descends into chaos."

"Our Cloud Heaven Holy Land has been vilified; how can we expect to receive no benefits at all?"

"The Azure Cloud Sect, having gradually absorbed the Mystic One Sect, and possessing some discernment, is a rather good choice."

Afterwards, the Holy Lord mentioned the information about the formation that came from the Azure Cloud Sect.

"What are your thoughts on this matter?"

After some discussion, the final question came down to who to bring.

Many opportunities, such as those left by predecessors, can limit the opportunities for successors. Therefore, the safest approach is to bring along suitable successors to avoid missing out on these opportunities.

"Qin Jiuxiao's acquisition of the Heavenly Azure Ruins demonstrates his current peak of fortune. If that place holds an opportunity, he will surely seize it. Moreover, this is also a chance to lure them in. If the Dongfang Clan dares to make another move, they will be ensured a swift and decisive victory!"

"That Luo Zhen that Elder Fang Ling brought is quite extraordinary as well. I think it would be better to let him try and see if his luck is even greater than Qin Jiuxiao's."

"..."

Everyone has their own recommendations and people they value.

However, Qin Jiuxiao's relationship with the Dongfang Clan has gained the approval of many people.

"What are Your Majesty's thoughts on this matter?"

All eyes turned to them.

The Holy Lord gently tapped the table and said:

"Let Jiuxiao and Luo Zhen go together, and see who among them can seize the opportunity."
