Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Exposed Movements!

That day, after defeating the Lin Family, the Wu Family spent more than a month reorganizing the entire Red Leaf Square.

Afterward, the Wu Family Grand Elder personally went to the White Cloud Immortal City.

Within the borders of Xui Country, there are two Tier Three powers.

One is the ruler of Xui Country, the Cloud Light Sect, and the other is White Cloud Immortal City.

To maintain its rule, the Cloud Light Sect has been suppressing cultivation clans within Xui Country, preventing the emergence of another True Pill.

They do not want a repeat of the White Cloud Immortal City incident.

Three hundred years ago, the Cloud Light Sect reigned supreme over the entire Xui Country.

All the cultivation resources in Xui Country were in the hands of the Cloud Light Sect.

The major cultivation clans all pledged their allegiance to the Cloud Light Sect.

Then, the array master Master White Cloud rose to prominence and reached True Pill.

Relying on the White Cloud Mountain Range, a Tier Three Array was laid down.

Thus, the second Tier Three power in Xui Country, White Cloud Immortal City, was born.

With centuries of development, White Cloud Immortal City grew stronger, inevitably threatening the interests of the Cloud Light Sect.

At least, the influence of the Cloud Light Sect in the entire southwest of Xui Country has significantly declined.

Wu Zongdao has Earth Spirit Root talent, and now he is a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator, which was fine as long as it remained undisclosed.

On the day of the attack on the Lin Family, he had to take action, revealing his cultivation, which consequently drew the attention of the Cloud Light Sect.

Along with the original four great clans of Red Leaf Square.

The Lin Family fled, the Sun Family has only two Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators who pose no threat, and the Li Family is even weaker, with only one Middle-Stage cultivator nearing the end of life.

Wu Family has become the dominant force in the entire Red Leaf Square.

If Wu Zongdao breaks through to True Pill, Red Leaf Square might become another White Cloud Immortal City in the future.

And the Southern Domain of Xui Country will also not be under the control of the Cloud Light Sect.

This is definitely not something the current Cloud Light Sect is willing to see.

Therefore, after reorganizing Red Leaf Square, the Wu Family Grand Elder personally led a team to White Cloud Immortal City to discuss cooperation between the two sides.

The person who received the Wu Family Grand Elder was Master White Cloud’s direct disciple—Zhou Buqi.

This man is ranked eleventh among Master White Cloud’s disciples, with Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, and he is already over one hundred seventy years old.

He is currently responsible for managing major affairs in the entire White Cloud Immortal City.

As for those ranked higher, except for Liu Bo’an, who ranked second and has reached Fake Pill and is still alive, the rest have all passed away.

Therefore, Zhou Buqi is already the most senior Foundation Establishment cultivator under Master White Cloud.

“What Daoist Wu said, I have reported to my master, and my master said: Regarding the matter of Red Leaf Square, White Cloud Immortal City will not be involved!”

Hearing this, the Wu Family Grand Elder, Wu Guangxiao, had a face full of changes.

If they do not get the support of White Cloud Immortal City, the suppression from the Cloud Light Sect will probably come quickly.

After thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind and disclosed the matter of Wu Zongdao’s Earth Spirit Root completely.

He then transmitted:

“To be honest with you, Daoist, my clan nephew Zongdao possesses Earth Spirit Root talent, and his current cultivation has reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection. If we gain support from White Cloud Immortal City, we are willing to owe White Cloud Immortal City a favor!”

“Is this true?” Zhou Buqi was full of astonishment.

The Wu Family has hidden deeply!

An Earth Spirit Root cultivator has a fifty percent chance to break through to the True Pill Realm without using any spiritual objects. If a Crystal Condensing Pill is taken, the probability is as high as eighty percent.

With his current Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation, within ten years at most, there will be a newly advanced True Pill cultivator in the Wu Family.

Thinking of this, Zhou Buqi’s tone became enthusiastic:

“Didn’t expect, the Wu Family has produced a True Dragon!”

“Daoist Zhou overpraises, what about White Cloud Immortal City?”

“Brother Wu, please wait, I will go to consult with my master!” Zhou Buqi laughed heartily. The appearance of an Earth Spirit Root cultivator in the Wu Family is a matter that can change the future landscape of Xui Country and must be reported to Master White Cloud.

Afterward, Master White Cloud personally met with the Wu Family Grand Elder and finalized the cooperation between the two families.

The Wu Family Grand Elder then stayed in White Cloud Immortal City.

Firstly to discuss the details of cooperation with White Cloud Immortal City.

Secondly to lead some Wu Family members to reside here, so that in case of changes to the main family, they would not be completely wiped out.

After all, the Cloud Light Sect is still the sky of Xui Country, and there are three True Pill cultivators within the sect.

With the support of White Cloud Immortal City, soon, the Lin Family’s Pill Treasure Pavilion and Spirit Medicine Pavilion were all expelled from White Cloud Immortal City.

This is also why Zhou Xun and others saw that the shops had changed hands after they arrived.

….

“Why is the Wu Family Grand Elder showing up here?” Wang Erniu asked confusedly.

“Regardless of the reason, in any case, the disappearance of the Pill Treasure Pavilion and Spirit Medicine Pavilion from White Cloud Immortal City is definitely related to him!” Zhou Xun said with a serious expression.

“Moreover, White Cloud Immortal City probably played an unfair role in this!” He paused and continued.

“Doesn’t that mean we’re in danger!” Lin Xue’e exclaimed in shock upon hearing this.

A feeling of escaping from the wolf’s den only to enter the tiger’s lair arose spontaneously.

She began to put herself in the role of the Wu Family Grand Elder, thinking about how she would act.

If she were the Wu Family Grand Elder, not only would she expel the Lin Family members, but she would also capture them all as they leave the city.

Moreover, she would deploy eyes and ears near the original Pill Treasure Pavilion and Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

Because, surely there will be Lin Family members who escape and come here to regroup.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun’s face changed.

They had just spent considerable time in those two places, and if they had fallen under the eyes of specialized spies, it would surely be very suspicious.

“We have to leave immediately!” Zhou Xun said decisively.

“Leave now?” Wang Erniu asked.

“Immediately, right away, quickly!” Zhou Xun replied firmly.

It had been less than a quarter of an hour since they returned from there; even if there were spies, they wouldn’t have had time to report.

So they changed all the clothes on their bodies and left them in the inn.

He guessed that if he were a spy, he would definitely have placed tracking marks on their clothes.

They disguised themselves, a group of four adults and one child, and immediately left through the back door of the inn.

…

Celestial Joy Tower, Elegant Room No. 3.

The Wu Family Grand Elder was hosting Zhou Buqi.

“Brother Zhou, please!” Wu Guangxiao raised a cup of spirit wine and drank it in one gulp.

“Please!” Zhou Buqi returned the toast with a cup of his own.

At this time, the two had already become sworn brothers.

Meanwhile, outside the elegant room, a young man hurriedly approached, appearing to have urgent matters.

“Ninth Brother, why are you so rash!” The young man guarding outside the elegant room scolded the newcomer.

“Third Brother, quickly, I have urgent news to report!” The young man said excitedly, still panting.

“The Grand Elder is hosting Elder Zhou, whatever it is, wait until they’re done!” The young man blocked him, not letting him enter.

“I have important news, I found Lin Xueying!” The young man said urgently.

“Who did you say, Lin Xueying!” The young man was shocked, then showed a look of joy.

“Are you sure about what you said?”

“How could I lie about something like this, they are now at the Guest Inn!” The young man said.

“Alright, you wait here, I’ll go in and report!” The young man knew the matter was urgent and did not dare to hesitate, he pushed the door open and entered.
