Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 284: Chapter 32: Who Leaked the Secret?

After thinking things through,

Zhou Xun took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, whispered a few words, and then threw it out.

After half a cup of tea’s time, Weih Qiuxin arrived.

”Greetings, Island Master!”

Weih Qiuxin’s attitude remained unchanged, as she had been in the past.

There was no change even though Zhou Xun had become famous for defeating the infiltrating cultivators of the Celestial Feather Sect.

In her view, Zhou Xun had always been so powerful; he just hadn’t shown it before.

The current achievements were merely a normal display of his capabilities.

”By completely annihilating the Celestial Feather Sect cultivators this time, I’ve already drawn the suspicion of the Cloud Light Sect. I’m afraid that open and covert attacks against my Wangchuan Lake will soon come!”

”The Cloud Light Sect is formidable, and I’m afraid they will be hard to deal with!” Zhou Xun sighed.

”Island Master has extraordinary talent and is protected by a Tier Three Array. Though the Cloud Light Sect is powerful, outside enemies are invading, and most of their forces are gathered in the Golden Ape Valley,”

”In the short term, they won’t be able to spare enough manpower to deal with us!”

”Besides, the Island Master has performed a great deed by killing the Celestial Feather Sect cultivators. How dare the Cloud Light Sect act with impunity, not fearing a rebellion from the cultivators summoned to Golden Ape Valley?”

Weih Qiuxin analyzed calmly.

”Qiuxin’s words are reasonable. Take a look at this!” As he said this, he handed over the Jade Scroll given to him by Master Jin Hong to Weih Qiuxin.

”The Cloud Light Sect is too much!” Weih Qiuxin said angrily.

”We have performed a great service for Wangchuan Lake. The Celestial Feather Sect invaded at a time when Xui Country was on the brink of survival. How can the Cloud Light Sect do such a thing!”

”Qiuxin owes a great debt to the Island Master and is willing to advance and retreat together with you!”

Weih Qiuxin said.

”Qiuxin, with your intelligence, do you have any strategies to deal with this?” Zhou Xun asked, quite satisfied with her.

After all, the Cloud Light Sect has ruled Xui Country for thousands of years. If it really comes to a confrontation, he’s unsure how many would still stand by him.

Regarding human nature, he’s always kept a respectful distance.

Upon hearing this, Weih Qiuxin tilted her head slightly to think. After about half a cup of tea’s time, she raised her head and slowly said:

”The Cloud Light Sect’s intentions are clear: they will first praise, then entice, and finally force the Island Master to leave the island!”

”If we were to disseminate news of the Cloud Light Sect’s strategies to deal with the Island Master in advance, when the Cloud Light Sect acts in this manner, not only will no one fall for it, but it will also spark public debate!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded.

This matter aligned with his thinking.

He then ordered:

”Organize personnel and gather all the family cultivators who suffered from the Celestial Feather Sect’s attack,”

”At the same time, announce that we at Wangchuan Lake will use all of the Cloud Light Sect’s rewards to develop Wangchuan Square!”

”And thirdly, as you suggested, spread the news that the Cloud Valley Sect is planning to deal with me!”

”Yes!”

...

Six days later, a tower ship, a hundred feet in size, slowly sailed toward Wangchuan Lake from the horizon.

On the deck of the ship, there were several cultivators, led by a middle-aged man with a stern face and an imposing demeanor.

This man was Master Fengg Yuu, the personal great disciple of Master Yun’an, the Sect Leader of the Cloud Light Sect.

”Senior Brother, you say that this Wangchuan Lake is merely a small Middle-Grade Spirit Vein, and that Zhou Xun is just a small Alchemy Master!”

”Why do you and I need to come here personally? I believe sending a low-ranking soldier would suffice!”

Beside him, a long-faced young man wore a proud expression, seemingly very dissatisfied with being sent here.

This person was the newly accepted direct disciple of Master Yun Yi, with a Fire Spirit Root Sensitivity of 54 points.

In his view, Zhou Xun was merely relying on his array to show off, his actual combat strength was mediocre.

If he had such an array, he could achieve such feats as well.

”Don’t underestimate these Loose Cultivators. Many among them are remarkable individuals. Not to mention Alchemist Zhou, his master Master White Cloud, is a notable talent in Xui Country!”

”If you underestimate them, you might suffer a great loss!”

These were actually words personally warned by his master Master Yun’an.

For creating the White Cloud Immortal City with his own hands, Master Yun’an, as Master Yun Yi’s junior brother, naturally knew it best.

And he also knew his senior brother regretted this matter for the rest of his life.

”Senior Brother, your words are mistaken!”

”Loose Cultivators, after all, are just Loose Cultivators, gaining temporary glory, but where can they compare to the Cloud Light Sect’s millennia of heritage?”

”Didn’t Master White Cloud, who was magnificent for a lifetime, end up dead and his city destroyed, with all his glory reduced to dust?”

”The same will be true of this Wangchuan Lake master today!”

”I see no need for our teacher to personally plan; such a small figure can be easily dealt with by sending anyone, and he will have to crawl out to meet us!”

”Now our teacher is employing such a grand and open plan, driven by overwhelming momentum, as if using a bull knife to kill a chicken?”

The long-faced young man looked disdainful towards Zhou Xun, a renowned peer, and was extremely dismissive.

Just at that moment, Wangchuan Lake drew near.

Looking at the lofty pavilions and towers below,

the disdain in his eyes grew even stronger.

”So this is the market they’ve set up!”

”In the future, they will regret coming here!” the long-faced young man sneered. In Xui Country, no market had dared to operate without reporting to the Cloud Light Sect before.

The forces under the White Cloud Immortal City naturally reported to the Immortal City.

And as a disciple of Master White Cloud, Zhou Xun naturally couldn’t report to the Cloud Light Sect, which explained the young man’s words.

At that moment, the Loose Cultivators of Wangchuan Square also noticed the giant tower ship above their heads.

”Those are the Cloud Light Sect cultivators, aren’t they?”

”Looks like they’re here to deal with the Island Master!” a concerned cultivator said.

”Cloud Light Sect cultivators do not think about how to counter the Celestial Feather Sect, which has led to the downfall of sixteen cultivation clans in Xui Country. Instead, they want to exterminate Alchemist Zhou, who has helped us seek revenge, how can Cloud Light Sect lead Xui Country?”

These were survivors of family cultivators attacked by the Celestial Feather Sect.

Recently, rumors of the Cloud Light Sect betraying their benefactor and harming those who’ve rendered meritorious service were spreading throughout Wangchuan Square and expanding from Wangchuan Lake to various parts of Xui Country.

Just as the tower ship was about to reach the Mountain Protection Array, a ripple appeared in the array, and several figures flew out.

The person leading them was none other than Zhou Xun.

Upon seeing this, the long-faced young man looked pleased with himself.

”Senior Brother, didn’t I say they’re just a bunch of clowns who achieved momentary success? How could they mix in the halls of elegance?”

”Now they’re out to welcome us humbly!”

”Speaking of which, this master of Wangchuan Lake, Zhou Xun, seems to have good judgment. If I had known earlier, taking him in as an attendant wouldn’t have been too bad!”

”But now, since there’s a command from the master, it’s too late!”

The long-faced young man said with some regret.

But Master Fengg Yuu beside him frowned slightly.

From what he knew, Zhou Xun was quite a proud person, so why would he be doing something so deferential?

While he was puzzled, a voice resounded through the heavens and earth.

As soon as Zhou Xun saw the Cloud Light Sect cultivators, he immediately cried out in anger:

”What crime has Wangchuan Lake committed to provoke harm from the Upper Sect?”

”Get out!”

”Wangchuan Lake does not welcome you!”

Meanwhile, down below, the crowd in Wangchuan Square grew increasingly furious and loud.

And the long-faced young man also seemed to have noticed this scene
