Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 538: Xihe Market



Chapter 538: Xihe Market

After True Monarch Tian Zhu's external avatar and Jin LiDaoist Master left the Little Demon Cave, it didn't take long for Jin LiDaoist Master to leave the Deadly Sea of Sand and visit the designated targets with True Monarch Tian Zhu's orders. The first target Jin LiDaoist Master visited was Taiyi Sect.

However, when she arrived at Grand Lion Ridge, Sect Master Meng Zhang happened to be away from the sect. Niu Dawei, who is responsible for handling the daily affairs of Taiyi Sect, knew that she alone couldn't handle the situation and specifically requested the presence of Yang Xueyi, who was in seclusion, to receive Jin LiDaoist Master together.

It was a bit inconvenient not to see Meng Zhang, but both Yang Xueyi and Niu Dawei have some authority within Taiyi Sect. After explaining the purpose of her visit, Jin LiDaoist Master hurriedly left.

Meng Zhang's absence from Grand Lion Ridge was not to avoid Jin LiDaoist Master, but because he had important matters to attend to in Jiuqu League. After receiving Jin LiDaoist Master's instructions, Niu Dawei quickly notified Meng Zhang to return as soon as possible through the sect's channels.

At this time, Meng Zhang had already arrived at Xihe Market. He was invited to Jiuqu League by Luo YeDaoist Master to handle some unfinished business related to the Qin Family from years ago.

When Qin Hongying was hired as a guest of Taiyi Sect, she not only demanded many benefits from the sect but also made Meng Zhang and Luo YeDaoist Master swear an oath to do their best to preserve the Qin Family's heritage. Although Qin Hongying had long since died in Myriad Layers Peak, the Qin Family still existed. Meng Zhang and Luo YeDaoist Master were committed to fulfilling their oath.

Qin Hongying was always arrogant and domineering, relying on her strong cultivation base to act tyrannically, seizing and offending many forces, and making numerous enemies. While she was alive, she was able to protect her own family. However, after her death, those enemies came knocking on the door, overwhelming the Qin Family, which lacked a Gold Core Daoist Master.

Of course, most of these so-called enemies were not seeking revenge but rather wanted to take a piece of the Qin Family's wealth. The Qin Family used to be a Gold Core family and enjoyed many benefits thanks to Qin Hongying's power. Now that Qin Hongying was gone, they naturally wanted to reclaim all those benefits.

Such situations were common in Jiuqu League. Many families and sects rose and fell because of this. When the Qin Family was unable to resist, their first thought was to seek help from Luo YeDaoist Master.

Although Meng Zhang never complained to Luo YeDaoist Master about Qin Hongying's actions after becoming a guest of Taiyi Sect, Luo YeDaoist Master had heard about it. Luo YeDaoist Master had promised to do his best to preserve the Qin Family's heritage but had not promised to maintain the Qin Family's original influence.

Luo YeDaoist Master did not refuse the Qin Family's plea for help but only half-heartedly and slowly delayed her response. Taiyi Sect's influence has grown significantly in recent years, and its reputation has gradually spread to Jiuqu League.

However, after Qin Hongying's death, Taiyi Sect stopped providing various resources promised to the Qin Family. Facing a Gold Core sect like Taiyi Sect, the Qin Family, which had lost its only Gold Core Daoist Master, dared not speak out and could not continue to entangle themselves.

Now that the family was facing a crisis, while seeking help from Qin Hongying, the Qin Family also had someone pass on a message to Taiyi Sect, expressing their willingness to pay a price in exchange for Meng Zhang's assistance.

Before receiving the Qin Family's plea for help, Meng Zhang had already received a letter from Luo YeDaoist Master. When Meng Zhang interacted with Luo YeDaoist Master, he felt that she was a kind and wise senior, a trusted friend.Actually, how could someone from the Dark Alliance organization be a good person? When the time comes, she can also be ruthless. Now that the Qin Family is in trouble, it's an opportunity. She doesn't have to dirty her hands and can still make a fortune. Why not take advantage of it?

Originally, Luo YeDaoist Master could handle this matter alone, but considering that Taiyi Sect has paid a lot to hire Qin Hongying as a guest elder, it's only fair to compensate Meng Zhang.

Currently, Taiyi Sect has two experts in the Gold Core stage, Yang Xueyi and Delicate WaterSpirit General, one overt and one covert. Even if Meng Zhang is not in the sect, they still have the ability to protect themselves. Moreover, the surrounding situation has been stable recently, and there have been no new changes in the Deadly Sea of Sand.

After considering it, Meng Zhang accepted Luo YeDaoist Master's kind offer and set off for the Jiuqu League.

The Qin Family's territory is located in the southeast direction of the Jiuqu League, which cannot be considered a core area. However, compared to the Endless Sea of Sand, it is already a rare fertile land.

Meng Zhang first arrived at Great Wind City and inspected Taiyi Sect's layout there, including various commercial and stronghold constructions. Then, he traveled south and finally arrived at the Xihé Market, where he met Luo YeDaoist Master.

Xihé Market is named after a river called Xihé. Although it is called "Xihé," it is actually a magnificent river. As a tributary of the Jiuqu River, the river flows continuously and stretches gracefully.

Xihé Market was originally established by several Gold Core forces in the surrounding area and is located on a Third Rank spirit vein.

Due to its strategic location and efficient management, it has long been one of the most prosperous places in the surrounding area.

Originally, the Qin Family also had a certain share in Xihé Market and was one of the managers. However, after Qin Hongying's death, the Qin Family not only lost their position in the management of Xihé Market but also lost all their interests there.

This was just the beginning of the Qin Family's bad luck. Many forces in the vicinity have been using various excuses to conflict with the Qin Family, including some Gold Core forces.

In the Jiuqu League, there is a basic order in the Cultivation World. Incidents like the extermination of a whole family rarely occur.

However, cultivators have various means and secretive spells, and there are ways to secretly plot against opponents.

Recently, the Qin Family has lost many of its experts for various reasons. Some were disabled in public battles with others, some couldn't tolerate provocations and took the initiative but were killed by their opponents, and some even disappeared without a trace...

The Qin Family's Foundation Building stage cultivators have almost been wiped out. If this continues, there might come a day when a group of foreign bandits will raid the Qin Family and plunder everything.

Even if the Qin Family is not exterminated, they will completely decline and fall.

The high-level figures in the Jiuqu League do not care about the struggles at the bottom. Some radical cultivators even believe that this survival of the fittest can maintain the vitality of the Jiuqu League.

After Meng Zhang and Luo YeDaoist Master met, they briefly discussed and came up with a rough plan.

Next, they ignored the Qin Family's plea for help and leisurely strolled around Xihé Market. From time to time, they also visited nearby forces and exchanged ideas with nearby Gold Core Daoist Masters.
