"Mm, let's do that!" Ying Taiqi nodded his head and cautiously reminded, "No matter what condition he proposes, you must agree to it immediately and unconditionally! As long as he can find my master, he will agree to any condition! Now, the Secluded Forest Sect can only rely on finding my master to regain their position as the top sect in Liuxian Prefecture! "
After Sect Leader Guan nodded in agreement, Ying Taiqi gave a few instructions to the other Elders, telling them to appease the disciples and wait for the news from the Chamber of Commerce of Immortal Cultivators. After everything was arranged, he stood up and returned to his room to rest.
The three-day banquet finally ended in a lively atmosphere. Xiao Chen had a rough understanding of the Burning Sky Faction's situation.
The Burning Sky Faction and the Secluded Forest Sect had existed in the Liuxian Prefecture for many years and their feud had been going on for a long time. When the Secluded Forest Sect's Ying Taiqi's teacher was still around, the Burning Sky Faction did not have any particularly powerful talents. Hence, they had been suppressed by the Secluded Forest Sect.
After that, Ying Taiqi's master left the faction to wander. The Secluded Forest Sect's strength immediately declined. In addition, a cultivation expert appeared in the Burning Sky Faction. It was Gong Shaoxi's father, Gong Ruitong. Hence, the Burning Sky Faction became the top sect in Liuxian Prefecture.
However, good times did not last long. Gong Ruitong accidentally went berserk during his cultivation and was seriously injured. He had no choice but to retreat to recuperate. The Secluded Forest Sect immediately overtook its strength. Ying Taiqi, who was initially suppressed, suddenly appeared and became the top expert of the Secluded Forest Sect.
The strength of the two factions fluctuated and neither was convinced of the other. Usually, there would be conflicts. However, ever since Gong Ruitong from the Burning Sky Faction was injured and went into seclusion, the Secluded Forest Sect had the upper hand in most of the battles. Hence, the people of Liuxian Prefecture were more inclined to believe that the Secluded Forest Sect was the top sect in the prefecture.
However, after a few days of banquets, everyone knew that Fen Forest Sect had sent Immortal Xiao who easily defeated Ying Taiqi. Hence, the Burning Sky Faction quietly returned to its original position as the top sect!
After the three days of banquets, the various clans and merchants in the Liuxian Prefecture realized that the Secluded Forest Sect had not made any moves. Instantly, they had their own ideas and started to reevaluate the situation. Many of them who were quick to act had even approached the Burning Sky Faction to express their goodwill, preparing to join the Burning Sky Faction.
After all, everyone hoped that they could have a powerful backer. Even though the Burning Sky Faction had been so arrogant these few days, the Secluded Forest Sect was still able to keep their composure. According to past experience, it was not that they disdained to make a move, but that their strength had indeed been greatly damaged, and they were no longer able to suppress the Burning Sky Faction!
One day after the banquet, Xiao Chen had nothing to do, so he asked someone to find Duan Suqing, intending to have him take him to see Gong Ruitong's injury.
"Sect Leader Duan, I heard that Gong Shaoxi's father suffered from Qi deviation and was injured. He has been recuperating in seclusion and hasn't recovered for a long time, right?" Xiao Chen asked when he saw Duan Suqing enter the room.
"Yes, because at that time, his Qi deviation was more serious, and it wasn't easy to save his life. Therefore, he has been recuperating step by step, and hasn't fully recovered yet." Duan Suqing nodded and answered honestly.
"Oh … Since Gong Shaoxi is willing to give me face and serve as a High Priest in the Qin Clan without any fees, then I can't be too at ease." Xiao Chen smiled slightly and said, "I'll do a little repayment on behalf of the Qin Clan, and go treat his father's injury! I wonder if it's convenient for you to bring me over and introduce me to him? "
"Of course! I can't ask for more! "Duan Suqing's eyes brightened. How was this a little repayment? It was simply a great thing!
"Then you lead the way! We'll go and take a look now. " Xiao Chen didn't delay and directly walked out of the room. Duan Suqing hurriedly ran in front of him to lead the way.
"I heard from Shaoxi that Exalted Immortal Xiao's objective in going to Swallow Forest Town seems to be to look for his missing companions?" On the way to Gong Ruitong's place of seclusion, Duan Suqing, who was thinking of finding an opportunity to get close to Immortal Xiao, asked with a smile.
"Yes. Unfortunately, the Qin Clan has been searching for a long time, but there's still no news," Xiao Chen replied. He thought to himself, "This is great. I don't need to say anything, and you've taken the initiative to mention it!"
Duan Suqing couldn't wait to do Xiao Chen a favor, so he immediately followed up, "If you don't mind, I can also ask my subordinates from the Burning Sky Faction to help you inquire around. It can also be considered as a little bit of help!"
Xiao Chen nodded calmly and said casually, "Oh, that's fine too! After I cure Gong Ruitong's illness, I'll tell you the relevant information about my companions. "
Duan Suqing nodded repeatedly and was about to say a few words of flattery when Xiao Chen added, "But according to my guess, it's very likely that they are not in Liuxian Prefecture. Otherwise, with the liveliness of the banquet these days, they would definitely come after hearing the noise. So I guess they may have wandered to a small town nearby. I hope Sect Leader Duan can increase the search efforts and expand the scope of the search."
"Haha, Exalted Immortal Xiao's matter is our Burning Sky Faction's matter. Even if you don't say it, I will definitely do so!" Duan Suqing immediately patted his chest and guaranteed Xiao Chen.
"Then I'll thank Sect Leader Duan first. There's strength in numbers. I hope your search will be fruitful." Xiao Chen smiled and thanked him, finally feeling a little relieved.
"Exalted Immortal Xiao is too polite!" Duan Suqing thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "But Exalted Immortal Xiao, there's actually a problem that I haven't figured out. Since your companions were inadvertently separated from you, why didn't they use the Message Transmitting Talisman to contact you? They should be able to contact you faster this way! "
"Uh … it's like this. Previously, when we came out to train, we accidentally encountered a few powerful cultivators from an enemy sect, and then we started fighting." Xiao Chen's expression did not change as he explained, "Although I killed all of them in the chaotic battle, I accidentally got separated from my companions. Their luggage and Voice Transmission Talismans are with me, which is why I couldn't contact them."
In order not to expose his origin, Xiao Chen could only casually bluff. He was afraid that Duan Suqing would not believe him, so he added, "In order to train ourselves, we didn't bring any Spirit Crystals with us. I don't think there's anywhere to buy Message Transmitting Talismans, so …"
Actually, Xiao Chen was thinking too much. After Duan Suqing heard the first part of his words, the corner of his mouth was already twitching. He was so shocked that he didn't care to listen to the second part of the explanation!
In Duan Suqing's eyes, Exalted Immortal Xiao's cultivation was already incomparably heaven-defying. Even if he turned the entire Liuxian County upside down, he probably wouldn't be able to find one!
