Chapter 1220 - 842: Schemes of Each Family
Taichang Market, Jin Family shop, inside a third-floor room.
An antique and fragrant decor, a luxurious red fox rug, accompanied by purple sandalwood, and an Array, making the entire room exceptionally opulent.
Inside the room, Jin Xuanheng and Master Miaofa sat facing each other, with Jin Xuanheng continually serving Spirit Tea to Master Miaofa.
"Brother Miaofa, this Spirit Tea is from a Tier Four Mingxin Tea Tea Tree that our Jin Family recently acquired. It takes ten years for merely a few ounces to develop. How does it taste to you?" Jin Xuanheng couldn’t help but ask.
Master Miaofa said nothing but took a sip. After a moment, his eyebrows relaxed, and the next instant, his pupils widened as he examined the Spirit Tea closely.
"This Spirit Tea can temporarily enhance the comprehension of Golden Core Cultivators!" Master Miaofa, currently at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, was still amazed by the Spirit Tea before him.
"Brother Miaofa, if you find this tea good, I have some more here." Jin Xuanheng then placed forward a Jade Box.
Inside was precisely two ounces of Mingxin Tea.
However, Master Miaofa delayed in accepting it.
"Brother Miaofa, is my Jin Family truly facing a great calamity this time?" Jin Xuanheng couldn’t help but ask.
Master Miaofa still did not respond.
After a while, Master Miaofa finally spoke:
"Since Brother Jin sees things clearly, why can’t you let it go?"
At these words, silence returned to the room for quite some time.
Master Miaofa, who once represented Purple Peak and the Ye Family, had always been at odds with Illusion Peak.
That’s why Jin Xuanheng sought out Master Miaofa. After all, there were not only the current Sect Leader of the Taiyi Sect, the only Nascent Soul True Monarch, but also the ever-secluding Master Zitian, and Linghong Fairy, who broke through to Nascent Soul, among those on Purple Peak.
The inquiry was due to the Jin Family’s celebration, where none of the Taiyi Sect’s Golden Core intended to attend.
One must know, the Taiyi Sect had endorsed and permitted the destruction of the Chu Family back then.
Now, it has come to pass that the Jin Family must bear it alone.
"Brother Miaofa, why can the Ye Family grow under the Beast Tide? I’m genuinely puzzled." Jin Xuanheng hesitated and rephrased.
"There’s no need to ask more about this matter."
"For today’s tea, I’ll take it to heart, but as for the Jin Family’s cultivators in the Sect, I will look after them. Whether you return to the Jin Family or hold the celebration is up to you!" Master Miaofa said as he turned and left.
Not giving Jin Xuanheng any opportunity to say more.
Seeing this, Jin Xuanheng was filled with anger.
He had already hid for a full ten years.
Because he had always been at Taichang Market, and quite a few Jin Family cultivators had perished over the years.
Yet he couldn’t find another suitable place for the Jin Family.
At this moment, the stance of the Taiyi Sect also reminded him of the newly rising Jiang Family and Li Family.
These have become the new powerhouses of Taichang Market, evidently signaling that the Taiyi Sect intends to abandon the Jin Family.
After Master Miaofa went far away, Jin Yulan from Jin Family Purple Mansion, who had been waiting outside, entered.
Due to the previous Jin Family Secret Realm incident, there were few left in Jin Family Purple Mansion.
"Uncle Xuanheng, should we return this time?"
"Return we must. If we don’t, the reputation of the Jin Family will be lost. But if we can’t invite the Taiyi Sect, then invite the Qinghe Sect. Aren’t they eager to see Tian Dao True Monarch take action?" Jin Xuanheng replied coldly.
At this moment, he abandoned the last trace of patience in his heart.
Having lived in seclusion at Taichang Market for these ten years had eroded his vigor and the Jin Family’s foundation considerably.
Now everyone knows that Jin Xuanheng of the Jin Family fears reprisals from the Chu Family.
Yet, the shadow of the Chu Family has not even appeared.
...
Taichang Mountain Range, Purple Peak.
Within the Purple Extreme Hall, Zitian True Monarch and True Monarch Zi Ming were in the grand hall.
The two glanced at the news, frowning.
"Let’s hope Jin Xuanheng doesn’t seek death!" True Monarch Zi Ming couldn’t help but speak.
In his plans, at most, Tian Dao Sect would be battered by the Qinghe Sect, then connect with the Ye Family and his Daoist companion to safeguard the position in the Yan Kingdom.
Once they reach the Earth Immortal Realm, he and Zitian True Monarch would clean up the mess and unify the Yan Kingdom.
Regarding the opportunities at the Earth Immortal Realm, he was extremely confident at this moment.
"Senior Brother, what if the Jin Family truly wishes to seek death?"
"We guard the Taiqing Commandery’s pass." True Monarch Zi Ming responded but his eyes started to become sharp.
Clearly, even if the Jin Family seeks out the Qinghe Sect, they won’t wade into the mess of the Ye Family and Jin Family.
Fighting the Ye Family over this matter would be akin to tearing apart the agreement made that day.
And helping the Ye Family, should the Ye Family be exposed, would allow the Taiyi Sect to differentiate itself from the Ye Family.
Of course, if Qinghe Sect underestimates the Ye Family by only sending a few Golden Core to the Jin Family, he would be pleased to see them testing the Ye Family’s strength and witnessing Qinghe Sect losing some Golden Core.
"I understand!" Sikong Zitian nodded and didn’t speak further.
Instead, he inquired about the situation of other Golden Core in the Taiyi Sect.
"Senior Brother, Junior Brother San Yuan is also nearing his Nascent Soul breakthrough, and he has already made his decision, this matter..."
"This matter should not be mentioned now, unless Medicine King Valley truly steps beyond that threshold..." True Monarch Zi Ming interrupted directly.
"Alas, I will send Linghong and my Nascent Soul insights in a few days. If he can break through on his own, it will be a good thing for us as well!"
...
Taihang Mountain Range, Chixia Mountain.
Currently, the Three-eyed Demon King has gained the favor of the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor, and the entire Chixia Mountain has expanded considerably.
Moreover, the central few Sunset Wood trees have grown thicker.
At this moment, two Demon Kings and numerous Silver Moon Pythons were flying in from Silver Moon Lake.
"Silver Moon Daoist!" The Three-eyed Demon King greeted from afar.
Behind the Three-eyed Demon King were several Three-Eyed Demon Roc.
"Three Eyes, has a Tier Four Jade Dragon Vine truly appeared in Jade Dragon Valley?" Silver Moon Demon King couldn’t help but ask.
It had crossed from Silver Moon Lake, via Thunder Roc Valley, Earth Dragon Valley, not just to reminisce.
But because the Three-eyed Demon King intended to launch a Beast Tide to reclaim Jade Dragon Lake and Jade Dragon Valley.
Furthermore, the legendary Jade Dragon Vine had appeared.
For Silver Moon Demon King, it certainly wasn’t content being just a Flood Dragon in status.
And Jade Dragon Vine is a Spiritual Object capable of producing Jade Dragon Fruit.
It was somewhat incredulous, yet the Three-eyed Demon King even showed a Jade Talisman to it.
And the Demon Race does not fabricate Jade Talisman.
Besides, Silver Moon Demon King didn’t believe the Three-eyed Demon King would collude with other Human Race to conspire against it.
After all, it was the Three-eyed Demon King who uncovered the betrayal of Earth Dragon Demon King back in those years.
Plus now the Earth Dragon hasn’t appeared, still the old rival of Silver Moon.
It naturally believed the Three-eyed Demon King.
"Of course, Silver Moon Daoist, that Jade Talisman unmistakably confirms it, or else why would the Human Race monopolize Jade Dragon Valley?"
"Years ago, the Earth Dragon also sought this Jade Dragon Vine, then connected with me and Yun Shi Daoist to attack Jade Dragon Valley, only Yun Shi Daoist was unfortunately lost!" The Three-eyed Demon King responded.
