222: Chapter 222 Leaving the Sect

The three of them, Li Taixuan, Zhou Ziye, and Liu Wuxie, looked at Chen Changqing and the others in the Chen Family ancestral hall, feeling rather shocked in their hearts.

Besides Chen Changqing and Chen Xuanyi, the Chen Family also had Chen Changjie and Chen Lingyang, as well as new faces Chen Changyue and Chen Lingtong.

Besides this, when Li Taixuan looked at Chen Changqing, he suddenly realized that he couldn't see through Chen Changqing at all. While feeling shocked, he also guessed how far Chen Changqing had walked on the path of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Of course, he also slightly guessed whether Chen Changqing had already reached the Zifu Stage.

It's just that this probability was far too low; how could the Zifu Stage be so easily reached?

"Grandpa, and Brother Ziye, Brother Wuxie, I summoned you here today for no other reason than the future direction of our Qinghe Alliance," Chen Changqing explained.

Hearing this, the three of Li Taixuan didn't know what to say, but since the Qinghe Alliance had already been established, they could only take it one step at a time.

"Changqing, I have a question. How could the Xuantian Sect allow us to privately establish the Qinghe Alliance? If it were during wartime to deal with bandit Cultivators, that would be one thing, but now the war has ended," Li Taixuan brought up. This was what they worried about the most; after all, throughout history, no faction had ever formed alliances privately.

Within the territory of Yan Country, major factions in Yan Country wanted to control their subordinate factions, and it was bound to be impossible to let their subordinate factions form alliances. Once these weak factions formed alliances, they might grow into entities capable of resisting them.

"Rest assured about this, I will discuss with the Xuantian Sect and the Song Family which territory in the entire Taihe Prefecture will be demarcated as our Chen Family's territory," Chen Changqing said indifferently.

Hearing this, the three of them were once again speechless. Discuss with the Xuantian Sect and the Song Family? Did the Chen Family have this kind of strength?

They were all somewhat surprised by Chen Changqing's audacity.

However, Li Taixuan was the first to react. After all, the Li Family had previously guessed whether Chen Changqing had already entered the Zifu Stage. Even though Chen Changyue had said so, how many years had Changqing been cultivating? Just a few decades. How could he achieve the Purple Mansion so quickly? No one in Yan Country could possibly do that, right?

Although he still found it somewhat hard to believe, he still asked: "Changqing, are you saying that you have already achieved the Purple Mansion?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Ziye and Liu Wuxie were stunned. What on earth?

Chen Changqing nodded and said: "To not hide it from you, Grandpa, your grandson has already achieved the Purple Mansion." Finished speaking, his aura bloomed instantly, and a terrifying aura swept across the surroundings.

The complexions of the three turned pale instantly. This was the first time they faced this kind of aura at such a close distance, and a sense of helplessness and awe arose in their hearts.

How could this be possible?

He reached the Purple Mansion just like that?

"You have already reached the Purple Mansion?" Li Taixuan was shocked. Even though he had guessed it beforehand, when he truly saw it himself, he still couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.

Only at this moment did Zhou Ziye and Liu Wuxie completely react. No matter how much they disbelieved, this aura was definitely not something a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could release.

This aura had far exceeded their cognition. When facing Li Taixuan, they only felt that this person's strength was formidable, but facing Chen Changqing, they couldn't even raise the slightest thought of resistance.

Is this what a Purple Palace Cultivator is?

From this moment on, the way the three of them looked at Chen Changqing changed completely. It was no longer as casual as looking at a Cultivator of the same level, but instead carried awe and inviolability.

"Starting from today, Qinghe County will be the Chen Family's territory. Do the three of you have any objections?" Chen Changqing asked this time in the identity of a superior.

"No objections." The three bowed respectfully. Starting from today, as long as Chen Changqing did not fall, it would be impossible for them to get off the Chen Family's boat.

Since that was the case, it was better to directly submit.

Furthermore, Li Taixuan was still Chen Changqing's grandfather. As long as they didn't commit a principled mistake, the Chen Family would naturally support their Li Family to some extent.

"Mm, Grandpa, you stay behind first. Everyone else, dismiss!" Chen Changqing said indifferently.

After everyone went down, Chen Changqing took out a second-tier spiritual fruit.

"This is a Lifespan Fruit?!" Li Taixuan looked at the second-tier Lifespan Fruit before him with burning eyes.

"Grandpa, the Qinghe Alliance still needs you to look after it, so this second-tier Lifespan Fruit is handed over to you. It should be somewhat useful to you." Chen Changqing nodded. He had some Lifespan Fruits on hand; a portion of them was left in the Family, and a portion was given to Family members to consume.

Chen Yuanzhan and Li Chenghui had also consumed first-tier Lifespan Fruits, which had vainly added twenty years of Lifespan to both of them.

As for the one in his hand, it could add at least twenty years, or as many as thirty to forty years of Lifespan for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Were it not for the fact that he was his grandfather and the Family lacked high-tier combat power, Chen Changqing might not have taken it out.

Hearing this, Li Taixuan's mood was excited. With both hands, he received the second-tier Lifespan Fruit handed over by Chen Changqing, then bid farewell to Chen Changqing and went into seclusion to Cultivate.

Half a month later, Chen Xuanyi brought this batch of Cultivators back to Qinghe County. Qinghe County needed them to hold down the fort, while Chen Changqing needed to head to the Yuxu Sect and discuss the distribution of Taihe Prefecture's territory with the Xuantian Sect and the Song Family.

This was a step that every Purple Mansion faction was bound to experience.

After arranging the Formation for the Family, Chen Changqing set off again. He left the Family with two sets of top-tier tier-two Formations. Even if he wasn't around, other Foundation Establishment Cultivators would need to expend quite a bit of effort if they wanted to break through Wuyue Mountain.

...

Another half a month passed, and Chen Changqing arrived at the Yuxu Sect.

After he took out the Sect token, the mountain-guarding Disciples of the Yuxu Sect did not make things difficult for him, but instead let him in.

Chen Changqing sent a message to Li Qingling regarding his arrival.

Before long, Li Qingling came before him.

"Brother," Li Qingling said softly, her face beaming with a smile.

Chen Changqing touched her hair and brought her along to first pay respects to Master Baiye.

Li Qingling's cultivation had reached the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment, and she was already very close to making a Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion. It was also time for Chen Changqing to find a ziyu pill for her.

Otherwise, there was a high probability that Li Qingling would never obtain a ziyu pill in her lifetime. For one thing, although she was a Disciple of the Yuxu Sect, she was also a member of the Chen Family and his wife; the Yuxu Sect might not necessarily be willing to take out a ziyu pill for her.

Secondly, the Yuxu Sect's territory had shrunk quite a bit nowadays, and wanting to obtain more resources in the future would only become even more difficult. The Disciples of their own Sect might not even be satisfied, so how could there be any surplus ziyu pills to allocate out?

At least for the next one or two hundred years, there was no need to consider that Zifu Secret Realm.

Viewed this way, he would eventually have to leave Yan Country for a trip. After all, Yan Country didn't have many resources, but other immortal cultivation countries did! Especially within the territory of the Five Dynasties, the immortal cultivation resources were far from being comparable to what Yan Country could match.

The two went together to pay respects to Master Baiye, and Li Qingling took the opportunity to bring up a matter, which was to leave the Yuxu Sect and return to her own Family.

Master Baiye had anticipated this point long ago, but she still left some leeway for Li Qingling, which was to become a consultant of the Sect. Although she could no longer see Master Baiye in the capacity of a Personal Disciple, she could still return to the Sect and enjoy the Sect's resources.

However, having enjoyed the Sect's resources, she naturally also had the obligation to solve problems for the Sect.
