Chapter 571: A Roundabout Way....

“Are you referring to the person from a while ago?” Auntie Qiao asked curiously.
“Not him, but he’s related to that other person. Anyway, we shouldn’t provoke the person at the entrance. Absolutely do not provoke him. He might even be more dangerous than the mysterious person lurking in the shadows,” Bi Zhu said.
“Why?” Auntie Qiao was quite puzzled. “Is he an extraordinary genius?”
Although the princess displayed extraordinary knowledge and knew a lot of information, and she claimed to be the number one genius of the royal family, she had not seen the princess take action so far.
Auntie Qiao couldn’t speculate on what kind of person the number one genius of the royal family was.
But given her confidence, why would she be wary of a Golden Core Realm cultivator?
“Even an extraordinary genius wouldn’t dare to press too hard on him. Otherwise…” Bi Zhu sighed.
If the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl erupted, being a genius would be of no use, especially since the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment wasn’t ready yet.
To suppress the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator would have to become one with great luck.
Those from the Blackheaven Sect were really ignorant.
“Is it really that great?” Auntie Qiao asked.
Bi Zhu looked relaxed as she walked along the road.
“Yes. If he were to fall into despair, he might just drag the entire southern region down with him. Whether one is a cultivator or not, they would all perish,” Bi Zhu said while rolling her eyes.
Auntie Qiao was somewhat helpless.
She felt that the princess was joking.
But that didn’t matter. At least, the princess had allowed her to follow her this time.
In the future, things would become clearer.
“Speaking of which, the Blackheaven Sect and Heavenly Note Sect seem to be cooperating closely. It seems they’ve reached a consensus,” Bi Zhu said in surprise.
“What kind of consensus?” Auntie Qiao asked.
“Did I not mention it?” Bi Zhu asked. “I forgot! It’s very simple. The Xuanyuan
Clan may be about to produce a Grand Earth Sovereign.”
“A Grand Earth Sovereign?!” Auntie Qiao exclaimed. “Is the princess here to sabotage them?”
Bi Zhu rolled her eyes. “Although I am the number one genius of the royal family, I don’t dare to be so reckless in someone else’s territory. The Heavenly Note Sect has been on the rise, even if it doesn’t look very powerful. But everyone who has come here hasn’t gained any benefits. Even the Divine Corpse Sect had its teeth broken and had to swallow them. This indicates that the Heavenly Sect’s Demoness, who has been secretly in seclusion, is definitely still alive and well. How can I contend with that?”
Then, Bi Zhu looked towards the place where the Blackheaven Sect resided.
“Come, let’s go greet the elder. After completing the mission, we’ll leave as soon as possible.”
Outside the Heavenly Note Sect, some people were standing there and looking silently at the location of the grand formation.
“Where’s Mi Qian?” said a middle-aged man with a solemn expression.
“He was captured,” said a woman beside him. “It seems that the Blackheaven
Sect’s people discovered him while he was teaching, and he was captured. The Xuanyuan Clan knows a lot about us. No one expected the cooperation between the two sects to be so close. I thought their relationship was quite tense.”
The Blackheaven Sect and the Heavenly Note Sect had fought openly and secretly many times. The Heavenly Note Sect had killed many members of the Blackheaven Sect, and the Blackheaven Sect had ambushed the Heavenly Note Sect several times.
Although it wasn’t to the point of relentless enmity, such a close cooperation shouldn’t have been possible.
“There isn’t a big grudge between sects,” the middle-aged man said coldly. “If the benefits are sufficient, they can band together.”
“Elder, what do we do now?” another young man asked.
“The rain has fallen, and our people are on the way. The Xuanyuan Clan wants to use the luck of mountains and rivers, and we’ll help them change their fate. They will come out to deal with us,” Gu Yun said coldly. “We just need to sabotage the Xuanyuan Clan’s plans. We can’t let the Grand Earth Sovereign appear. We’ll at least wait until our celestial spirits reassemble. During this time, find a way to infiltrate that place. Don’t let the Xuanyuan Clan discover them.”
The others nodded.
“By the way, Mi Qian mentioned that Jiang Hao is apparently guarding the mountain gate. He is the person Gu Qing mentioned. Almost everyone who tried to test him was killed. This person must have secrets,” Mi Yue said seriously.
“Find a way to capture him and interrogate him,” Gu Yun said.
Mi Yue nodded.
The others didn’t care too much.
He was just a Golden Core Realm cultivator, and the weakest among them was in the Primordial Spirit Realm.
There was no need to worry too much.
They just needed to stay vigilant. A Golden Core Realm cultivator couldn’t stir up much trouble.
At the Heavenly Note Sect, where the people of the Blackheaven Sect resided, three people were in the living room.
The leader was a middle-aged man, Nangong Wenwu.
On his left was a beautiful woman, Duanmu Xiang, an elder of the Blackheaven Sect.
On the right was a man with graying hair. He was also an elder of the Blackheaven Sect, Xuanyuan Hu.
“The Fallen Immortal Clan will definitely come, and they will send people in soon. Although the Heavenly Note Sect will help with the screening, there will definitely be some fish that slip through the net. We also need to figure out a way to find these people,” Nangong Wenwu said.
Everyone agreed on this, but Duanmu Xiang felt a bit emotional.
“We still have other troubles here. If we had known that it would go so smoothly here, we wouldn’t have made trouble in the first place.”
“That’s true. I thought we could use Smiling San Sheng to divert the Heavenly Note Sect’s attention, but I didn’t expect to shoot ourselves in the foot.” Xuanyuan Hu shook his head helplessly.
“Let’s see how it goes.” Nangong Wenwu was resolute. “If that person really appears, pretend to struggle and let them take away the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan. It was important before, but it’s not as important now. Focus on the Grand Earth Sovereign. There’s no need to take everything. We just need to know what’s most important.”
“I’ll hand over the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan to Duanmu,” Xuanyuan Hu said.
He hoped that this time there would be no mishaps.
After all, once the Grand Earth Sovereign appeared, it wouldn’t be long before the Xuanyuan Clan would be the center of attention once again.
The Blackheaven Sect would swiftly become a major force in the southern region.
If the Xuanyuan Clan chose not to leave, then the Blackheaven Sect might become a major immortal sect in the southern region.
In the eastern region, there were the Clear Sky School and the Bright Moon Sect. In the western region, there was the Astronomical Academy. In the northern region, there was the Mountain Sea Sword Sect. Only the southern region lacked an important immortal sect.
“I can’t give it to him.” Nangong Wenwu shook his head. “If Smiling San Sheng finds out that it’s really in Junior Xuanyuan’s hands, wouldn’t he have made a trip in vain?”
“But what if he doesn’t find out?” Xuanyuan Hu thought for a moment. “Our plan is to hide the item on me, so he can’t find it immediately. But if he knows it’s in Duanmu’s hands, it’s very easy for him to ask about it. He will definitely go and look for it.”
“But if it’s so easily obtained, he might intentionally cause trouble,” Nangong Wenwu said.
“If he comes looking, I just have to say, “How did you know the item is really with me?” That would be enough,” Duanmu Xiang said with a smile. “If he really finds it, it won’t matter to Senior Xuanyuan. He will find it amusing.
After getting it, he’ll be satisfied and leave.”
On the following night, Bi Zhu walked through the forest and headed toward Xuanyuan Huts residence.
‘I finally found it! I’ll complete the mission today and leave tomorrow..’
