Another elder said, "Sect Master, our Xuanji Sect is aiming for the top ten. If we don't have a sect to rely on, we won't be able to enter the top ten. So, no matter what, we must find a sect to rely on. Since the Five Elements Sect can't do it anymore, let's find a new sect to rely on while we still have time."
Hong Xuanlei rubbed his forehead and said, "Who doesn't know the importance of a sect to rely on? But there are only four sects in total. Tell me, which sect should we look for?"
"The Heaven and Earth Sect is out of the question. We wanted to go to the Heaven and Earth Sect from the beginning, but they didn't want to talk to us at all." The elder smiled bitterly and said, "Let's not talk about the Five Elements Sect. The Heaven Awakening Sect, which is ranked third, doesn't have any relationship with us, and they are the furthest away from us. Even if we want to rely on them, they might not be willing to accept us, especially since we have some conflicts with a sect under the Heaven Awakening Sect."
"Why don't you just say that the Shangguan Clan is the only one left?" Hong Xuanlei was in a bad mood. He was the one who took the Xuanji Sect and left the Shangguan Clan. Plus, he had just had a conflict with the Blue Cloud Sect, so he couldn't bring himself to go back to the Shangguan Clan.
"Sect Master, the only sect that can accept us is the Shangguan Clan. It seems like the Shangguan Clan has become a lot stronger recently, and they don't even give face to the Heaven and Earth Sect. Going back to the Shangguan Clan is a good choice." The elder was a reasonable person. At least, he had a clearer view of the situation than Hong Xuanlei.
Hong Xuanlei nodded his head and said, "It's not impossible for us to return to the Shangguan Clan. I think the Shangguan Clan will welcome us with open arms. After all, they are the weakest among the four big clans, and they don't have many powerful sects. Our Profound Ji Sect still has a Golden Core cultivator and two Peak Late Golden Core cultivators. It will be a great help to the Shangguan Clan."
If Shangguan Qingyun heard this, he would definitely ask Hong Xuanlei where he got his confidence from. In the Archaic Grand Meeting, the decisive factor was always the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. A few Golden Core Realm cultivators could only wave the flag and cheer.
After discussing with his two trusted subordinates, Hong Xuanlei finally decided to return to the Shangguan Clan as soon as possible. If he waited for the news of the Five Elements Sect expelling the Profound Formula Sect to spread, the Profound Formula Sect's status would drop even further.
With the help of Lin Yi's Nascent Soul and Golden Core, Shangguan Qingyun had already broken through to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection in the past two days. He also had a complete mental cultivation technique to cultivate. Just when he was feeling complacent, he heard that the Profound Theory Sect's Sect Master, Hong Xuanlei, had come to visit, so he immediately met Hong Xuanlei.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hong Xuanlei went straight to the point and said, "Shangguan Clan Leader, apart from paying a visit to Clan Leader, this junior is here to pay a visit to the Shangguan Clan, so that our Profound Secrets Sect can return to the Shangguan Clan."
"Oh, I'm naturally happy that Sect Master Hong has such an idea. However, I don't know why Sect Master Hong suddenly wants to return to the Shangguan Clan," Shangguan Qingyun said with a smile. In his heart, he was wondering if the Profound Formula Sect's return was the Blue Cloud Sect's idea.
Previously, Xin Yijie had sent a message to Shangguan Qingyun, asking him to inform the Soaring Heaven Sect to advance and retreat together in the Archaic Meeting. Of course, to the outside world, it was still said that the Shangguan Clan was the Soaring Heaven Sect's backer. Now that the Profound Formula Sect's Hong Xuanlei was here, could it be for the same reason?
If it was really someone from the Blue Cloud Sect who asked Hong Xuanlei to come, Shangguan Qingyun wouldn't neglect him. Because of this, Shangguan Qingyun was very polite and enthusiastic towards Hong Xuanlei.
Hong Xuanlei let out a soft sigh and said with a melancholy expression, "Shangguan Clan Leader, to be honest, after our Profound Formula Sect joined the Five Elemental Sect, we weren't welcomed by them at all. Furthermore, there are many sects and families under the Five Elemental Sect, and in terms of seniority, our Profound Formula Sect is ranked at the bottom. Therefore, not only does the Five Elemental Sect not value us, even the other sects and families can order us around. Thinking about how the Shangguan Clan took care of our Profound Formula Sect in the past, compared to the Five Elemental Sect, it's like the difference between heaven and earth. This junior feels very uneasy, and I feel that returning to the Shangguan Clan is the right way!"
Shangguan Qingyun was slightly startled. Although Hong Xuanlei was very humble, if it was really the Blue Cloud Sect who asked the Profound Formula Sect to return, Hong Xuanlei only needed to mention the Blue Cloud Sect. Why would he bring up so many useless things?
"Eh, it's a good thing that Sect Leader Hong is able to return. Let's not talk about the past, and let's advance together in the future!" Shangguan Qingyun didn't know what else to say, so he could only comfort him.
Hong Xuanlei was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. As he expected, the Shangguan Clan was very happy for the Profound Formula Sect's return. After all, the Shangguan Clan still needed to strengthen themselves.
"Shangguan Clan Leader is truly a wise and farsighted representative! Under your wise leadership, our Shangguan Clan will definitely rise to the next level in this Archaic Grand Meeting!" Hong Xuanlei smiled, his eyes squinted, and words of flattery came out of his mouth.
"Not at all, not at all. Sect Leader Hong is too polite!" Shangguan Qingyun quickly waved his hand. He was very clear about his own capabilities. Perhaps the Shangguan Clan could really rise to the next level in this Archaic Grand Meeting, but it definitely wouldn't be because of Shangguan Qingyun.
Just when Shangguan Qingyun was about to compliment Lin Yi so that Hong Xuanlei, who had been pulled back by the Blue Cloud Sect, could put in a good word for him, Hong Xuanlei suddenly changed the topic.
"Family Leader, you might not know this, but this time, Xin Yijie from the Blue Cloud Sect secretly came to look for me. He wanted me to return to the Profound Formula Sect! This is outrageous!" Hong Xuanlei slightly lowered his voice, and his expression showed that he was feeling indignant for Shangguan Qingyun.
Shangguan Qingyun was stunned, and he didn't know what to say. He thought to himself, "If your Profound Formula Sect wasn't pulled back by the Blue Cloud Sect, I wouldn't even care about a traitor like you!"
Of course, Hong Xuanlei didn't know what Shangguan Qingyun was thinking, and he continued to make things difficult for the Blue Cloud Sect, "Family Leader, who do you think Xin Yijie is? He actually dared to bypass our Shangguan Clan and secretly tried to rope me in. What a joke! This junior has always been loyal to the Family Leader, so how could I be influenced by such a small character? This junior's decision to return to the Profound Formula Sect was made after careful consideration.
Shangguan Qingyun's expression turned cold. He casually picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked indifferently, "What is Sect Leader Hong's decision?"
Hong Xuanlei thought that Shangguan Qingyun's expression turned ugly because he was dissatisfied with the Blue Cloud Sect. He was even more delighted in his heart.
