“Sure enough, the old man isn’t here!”
After asking around for several days and testing the Xia Family and Mu Family, the ancestor of the Xia Family still did no appear.
In the end, she had to bribe a child of the Mu family to inquire about the ancestor. But the child did not know where the ancestor of the Xia Family was.
After some time, Qiu Baihui deduced that there was an 80% chance that the ancestor of the Xia Family was not at the Sacred Ground at all.
So this was the perfect time for her to attack.
After the formation was broken, she would just execute her plan.
She would quickly go in, kill a bunch of people, then quickly evacuate.
Qiu Baihui was delighted.
Just then, a stream of sword qi flew out of the Xia Mu Sacred Ground.
“Oh no, the old bastard is still there!”
Suddenly, Qiu Baihui turned into a gust of wind and escaped into the distance.
Puff!
A stream of sword hit Qiu Baihui’s side.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Qiu Baihui flew off.
Under a snow-capped mountain thousands of miles away, Li Mu frowned.
Huh?
Was someone attacking the Xia Family again?
It was too late for him to return now.
He hoped that Liu Yu would be fine.
After a while, Li Mu stopped worrying.
Only one sword qi had been released.
It meant that after this defense of sword will, the opponent had either escaped or been killed.
Who could it be?
It wasn’t easy to escape the sword will he had left as a defense.
It was good if the attacker had been killed!
Even if the attacker hadn’t been killed, this would definitely scare them off. The Xia Family would be safe for now.
“Let me keep Tingting away for a few more days.”
He glanced back at the three women standing on the snow-capped mountain.
Chu Qing was mature, while Zhou Hua was cheerful.
Even though Tingting was still not very talkative and had an icy look on her face, Li Mu felt that she had improved from the time when she was at Snow City.
She just wasn’t as talkative as she used to be.
As a young woman, she had already experienced so many setbacks.
Becoming colder and icier was just a part of maturing.
The wind was bitter on the snow-capped mountains.
The three women faced the wind.
“We’re so high, we can almost touch the sky! The sky and the earth is so big and we are so small!” Zhou Hua looked around and gaped.
She wanted to say something else, but she was at a loss for words.
Chu Qing pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at Zhou Hua.
What nonsense.
“I got it!” Tingting said.
“Huh?” Zhou Hua turned around.
Boom!
Suddenly, an aura erupted from Tingting.
A lot of prenatal qi gathered, forming a spinning vortex on the snow-capped mountain.
The cold wind suddenly changed direction and started swirling around Tingting.
Chu Qing and Zhou Hua hurriedly protected themselves.
But there was no need for them to do so.
Li Mu was staring at her from the bottom of the mountain.
After a while, Tingting’s aura began to fade.
However, Tingting continued to stand still, closing her eyes tightly.
There was still a vortex of prenatal qi surrounding her.
Click!
After a long time, Tingting suddenly opened her eyes and waved her hands.
The prenatal qi gradually stopped swirling around her.
Only when night fell and the stars twinkled in the sky did Tingting stop her exercise.
“Did you just break through?” Zhou Hua asked in surprise.
Even though she already knew the answer, she couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes!” Tingting nodded.
“That’s great! To celebrate, I want to eat roasted lamb on the snow mountain!” Zhou Hua ran around with her hands flailing in the air.
Chu Qing and Tingting were left there, standing in the cold.
“Hua is really happy for you! That’s why she wants to celebrate,” Chu Qing explained.
“It seems like she just wants to eat roast lamb!”
“You are so direct!”
“Well then let’s eat roast lamb today!”
...
After Tingting broke through, she reached the halfway point in her cultivation journey.
Li Mu led the three of them to a different path.
This path was full of rugged mountain roads.
Li Mu’s carriage was pulled by four unicorns.
Even so, their progress was very slow.
Sometimes, the mountain road was blocked, and the carriage had to stop for half a month to clear the path.
Since Li Mu and the others were on a recreational trip, they were not in a hurry.
If they were really anxious, they would have abandoned the carriage and just flew back on the eagle.
Now, they were just having fun.
Along the way, they had encountered their fair share of robbery.
This was good practice for Zhou Hua and Chu Qing.
Sometimes, they would stop for a few months just to deal with a syndicate of thieves.
The girls had a lot of fun.
When they passed by the Taiyue Sacred Ground in the north, Li Mu and the others heard some news that shocked them.
The entire Zhongzhou was stunned as well.
Similar to the Qianyuan Sacred Ground, the Taiyue Sacred Ground relied on its disciples to manage the Sacred Ground and fairly distribute their resources.
Over time, the outstanding disciples in the Taiyue Sacred Ground started to band together due to their power and greed.
These forces then united to form a powerful family.
No matter how hard the Sacred Ground tried to suppress them, they couldn’t stop them.
Seeing that the Sacred Ground had returned to the era of aristocratic control, the Sectmaster of Taiyue Sacred Ground decided to deal with them directly.
As a result, the powerful family in the Taiyue Sacred Ground colluded with several other elders to rebel.
They poisoned the Sectmaster and started dealing everyone who supported him.
Before anyone had time to even digest this news, the rebellious family had turned around and merged with the Qianyuan Sacred Ground.
With the help of Qianyuan Sacred Ground, they killed the grand elder who had supported the Sectmaster of the Taiyue Sacred Ground.
Then, they swiftly dealt with the rest of the people who supported him as well.
Their speed was so fast that no one could react.
The entire Zhongzhou exploded with this news.
“The Qianyuan Sacred Ground’s reaction was so strange!”
“When did the two parties start working with each other?”
Obviously, not many people believed that the two parties had just started working with each other.
They must have had a relationship for many years.
That was the only way they could have reacted so quickly.
No one knew what was going on under the table.
Or perhaps, the incident in Taiyue Sacred Ground had been planned by the Qianyuan Sacred Ground.
“Zhongzhou is going to be in chaos.”
“The Qianyuan Sacred Ground is already so powerful. After partnering together with Taiyue, its power will be unimaginable. Why do they need so much power?”
After so many years, the people of Zhongzhou had started to let down their guard around the Qianyuan Sacred Ground.
The sudden incident caused many Sacred Ground elders to break out in cold sweat.
“Is the Qianyuan Sacred Ground preparing to unify Zhongzhou?”
“After losing the Taiyue Sacred Ground, do we have enough strength to stop its unification?”
Just as everyone in Zhongzhou was concerned about the Taiyue Sacred Ground and Qianyuan Sacred Ground, another piece of news exploded.
The Qingmu Sacred Ground had merged with the Qianyuan Sacred Ground and became the subordinates of the Qianyuan Sacred Ground.
Everyone in Zhongzhou was stunned.
Everyone could tell that a merger between the Qingmu Sacred Ground and Qianyuan Sacred Ground at this time was highly unusual.
It couldn’t possibly be such a coincidence.
Obviously, the Qianyuan Sacred Ground wanted to warn the world that they were unifying Zhongzhou.
Everyone had to prepare themselves mentally.
And not resist!
They should just follow Qingmu’s lead.
Some people were also gloating about this misfortune.
“Oh no! No one can stop the Qianyuan Sacred Ground’s unification.”
“What if the other five Sacred Grounds unite together and fight them?”
“It’ll still be difficult! We can only delay them.”
“Isn’t it good to be managed by the Qianyuan Sacred Ground? If everyone is unified, there will be no need to fight with the other Sacred Grounds.”
“Yes! Qianyuan Sacred Ground has such a fair system. Even the cultivators from lower-level families will be supported.”
“Look! Before the Qianyuan Sacred Ground has attacked, our own people are going crazy already!”
In the Huanhai Sacred Ground, the three elders frowned.
“What should we do?”
“What’s the rush? Before Qianyuan Sacred Ground can attack us, it must first pass through the south first. Let’s wait and see. If the Xia Family and Mu Family really can’t stop them, then let’s surrender.”
