Qin Jiuxiao: "My benefactor is coming!"

"That Sword Immortal?"

Upon hearing what Fang Ling said, Huang Yunya's expression changed, and he quickly asked:

"What brings him here?"

Fang Ling replied:

He said he just happened to be passing by and decided to stop by.

"Just passing by?"

Huang Yunya pondered for a moment:

When will it come?

"About half a day," Fang Ling said.

Huang Yunya thought for a moment, glanced outside, and his expression shifted slightly:

It seems we'll have to treat them well.

Having suffered such a misfortune, the Cloud Heaven Holy Land is now in dire need of manpower.

In particular, some forces within the Holy Land's territory, though not daring to say it openly, all showed some degree of fear.

This is definitely not a good thing for the Holy Land.

Now, let's take this opportunity to reassure everyone.

Most people don't actually pay much attention; they just need to know that there are Sword Immortal available in the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, and that's enough.

Huang Yunya immediately summoned his men and relayed the order.

Fang Ling, as if struck by a thought, asked:

"Perhaps that Sword Immortal came for the Jiuxiao?"

My connection with this Sword Immortal began with Qin Jiuxiao.

Mentioning Qin Jiuxiao made Huang Yunya feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

The matter of the Soul-Strengthening Demonic Pill caused his emotions to fluctuate repeatedly.

Taking a deep breath and stopping his thoughts, Huang Yunya said:

I will tell him about this.

After a pause, as if remembering something, Huang Yunya looked at Fang Ling:

Regarding the arrival of the Sword Immortal, what are your plans with Luo Zhen?

Fang Ling pondered for a moment and said:

"Luo Zhen is exceptionally talented, but he's also somewhat ambitious. He previously expressed his desire to become the Sword Immortal's disciple. If he finds out about this, I'm afraid..."

Fang Ling's face showed some apprehension.

The Sword Immortal has a connection with the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, but ultimately is not a member of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.

"You make a good point." Huang Yunya nodded, but then changed the subject, saying:

"However, there's no need to hide this from him. Let's treat it as a test and see how he behaves."

"He is indeed not simple, but if he is disloyal..."

Fang Ling nodded upon hearing this:

"Then, as the Holy Lord wishes, I will inform him of this matter."

Inside the palace.

"Young Master Qin."

The words had barely left his lips when Qin Jiuxiao's voice rang out:

"You found out?"

Outside, the voice paused for a moment, then continued:

"There's been no new information from Elder Li yet; the investigation is probably still ongoing."

"What a piece of trash!" Qin Jiuxiao's voice suddenly turned violent.

"Keep urging me! Give me an explanation regarding the pills!"

Stop wasting time!

His voice grew increasingly agitated as he spoke.

Outside, the person speaking tensed up.

It was difficult to find out what Qin Jiuxiao had gone through, but his recent behavior was indeed different from usual.

"Don't worry, Young Master Qin, I'll send a message to urge them immediately."

He paused, then changed the subject, saying:

"However, this time, it was the Holy Lord who sent a message saying that the Sword Immortal from before will be coming to a holy land and needs your presence, young master. It should be within the next half day."

As the words fell, Qin Jiuxiao's expression shifted slightly within the house.

"That Sword Immortal?"

When they encountered the Devil Race, they were in imminent danger and had no way to ask for help.

It was that Sword Immortal who found help from the holy land for him, thus saving him from danger.

Such a powerful being would not help me for no reason; whether it's because of my qualifications or something else, there must be a reason.

As he thought about it, the irritation on Qin Jiuxiao's face vanished rapidly.

A hint of joy even flickered in his eyes.

A person who saves others from danger can be called a benefactor.

Right now, my benefactor is coming!

"Perhaps this will be a good trend."

Qin Jiuxiao closed his eyes to calm himself down.

After so much bad luck, is my luck finally about to change?!

At that moment, he spoke:

"Okay, I'll get ready."

The Ma Clan.

Just a few days ago, it was a bustling scene.

But now, there is no more noise.

Even more so, it gives people a sense of desolation.

It wasn't because there were no people, but because there was nowhere to move around.

"Everything was fine before, I wonder what happened. The Ma Clan, so powerful, has fallen to this state, it's truly..."

A passerby glanced at the house belonging to the Ma Clan in the distance and shook his head.

As far as his eyes could see, several tall shelves stood.

On the shelf, the wives and children of Ma Yunteng, the head of the Ma Clan, were bound together in a chain.

The top of the rack was covered with gleaming blades, making it look like an execution ground and sending chills down one's spine.

"It's the last day."

In a corner of the void, Cheng Qian gently shook his head, a hint of sympathy on his face.

This huge loss will likely be borne entirely by the Li Clan.

Over the past few days, he has gathered most of the information.

Although the matter wasn't widely discussed, some people's mouths are as loose as a brothel madam's waistband.

This also gave him a general idea.

In short, Qin Jiuxiao was tricked; the pills were fake, and he almost caused Qin Jiuxiao's death.

Since it was a tribute from the Li Clan, the responsibility naturally fell on the Li Clan.

Given what has happened, it's no surprise that the Li Clan is making such a big move.

Almost immediately upon returning, they gathered the Li Clan members and surrounded the Ma Clan.

Now, it's not that the Ma Clan is desolate; rather, they are all besieged.

As for why he did this, it's because he was meticulous and decisive in his actions.

He went straight to the Ma Clan and tricked Ma Yunteng and the relevant elders into coming out.

With his methods, trapping a few people would be naturally not difficult.

The current situation is precisely because the Li Clan believes Ma Yunteng has run away, and they are using the most primitive methods to force Ma Yunteng to come out on his own.

Of course, he knew very well that Ma Yunteng would not show up on his own initiative.

He was even more curious to know what the furious Li Clan would do when the time came, and what trouble they would get into.

"Damn it, I never thought I'd have to thank Ma Yunteng for having ulterior motives, otherwise I might have suffered this huge loss."

Cheng Qian picked up the wine jug, took a sip, and made up his mind.

As a token of gratitude, I'll give Ma Yunteng a good death later.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

Some high-ranking elders in the Holy Land also learned of the news and made preparations.

Next, we waited for the Sword Immortal to arrive.

High in the sky.

Lu Changzhi took out the Heaven and Earth Pagoda and let Gu Qingyang and the others enter it.

After doing all this, Lu Changzhi thought for a moment and then took out his External Avatar.

Within the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, a separate space is designated, and the main body enters it, using its will to control the External Avatar.

He donned his cloak, Dao-Severing Sword, and then sat down at the front of the flying boat.

The symbol of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land at the front of the flying boat slowly disappeared.

They proceeded unhurriedly towards the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.

The Cloud Heaven Holy Land gradually grew larger in view.

Meanwhile, on the Cloud Heaven Holy Land side, many elders felt a slight tremor in their hearts.

The Sword Immortal has arrived!
