Since no other cultivators were siding with Gu Qingxun, Qin Lang and Gu Qingxun could only rely on themselves. Actually, both of them knew that the Sea People Tribe wouldn't give up so easily. However, he didn't know when they were going to make their move and how they were going to do it.
Currently, they were still a long distance away from Mount Fangzhang. Within this distance, the Oceanic Tribe could launch an attack on Gu Qingxun and Qin Lang at any time. Moreover, their attack could be said to be stealthy. After all, there were no other cultivators within 500 kilometers of Gu Qingxun's immortal ship.
The reason why the Sea Men Tribe didn't attack Gu Qingxun directly but only "isolated" her and besieged her was probably to exert mental pressure on Gu Qingxun and Qin Lang. It was because Gu Qingxun had left Mount Penglai and couldn't get the support of the masters of Penglai. The sea was considered the Oceanic People Tribe's sphere of influence. Therefore, if the Oceanic People Tribe wanted to deal with Gu Qingxun, they could do so at any time. They had intentionally created such an atmosphere so that Gu Qingxun would feel pressured and might change his mind.
"Ah Lang, these Seafolk are playing tricks on us." Gu Qingxun asked Qin Lang, "The Sea People have always been decisive. Why did they go through so many twists and turns this time?"
"Times have changed. If Gu Qingxun was only a small figure in Mount Penglai, the sea people would kill him decisively and wouldn't need to do anything else. However, you're the acting sect leader of Penglai now. Any cultivator who wants to attack you will have to think twice before doing so, "Qin Lang said to Gu Qingxun with a smile.
"You're right. I didn't expect that I, Gu Qingxun, would have some influence now." Gu Qingxun smiled self-mockingly. "So, do you think the Sea Men will attack us?"
"No." Qin Lang said, "At least not now. What they're doing now is nothing more than to force you to change your mind. They don't really want to start a war with you. Otherwise, why would they go through so much trouble? Don't be fooled by the fact that the Oceanic People Race seemed to be endless. The strongest force in the sea, but this might just be a facade. Endless? How vast was the sea? Were the Sea People really the most powerful existence? I don't think that's necessarily true. Besides, other than the Sea People Tribe, there's also Kunlun Sect that's eyeing them covetously. Don't tell me that these Sea People Tribe cultivators don't fear Kunlun Sect? "
"Not bad. No matter how strong the Oceanic Race is, they would not dare to start an all-out war with Penglai. This is because the Oceanic Race does not wish to let Kunlun benefit. " Gu Qingxun agreed with Qin Lang's opinion, which meant that the sea people wouldn't attack them at this time.
Gu Qingxun and Qin Lang naturally had nothing to worry about since they were sure that the Oceanic Tribe wouldn't attack. Instead, they were happy with the peace and quiet and headed straight for Mount Fangzhang.
As expected, although no other cultivators took the initiative to greet Gu Qingxun along the way, the Oceanic Tribe did not retaliate even after a long time. Meanwhile, Mount Fangzhang had already entered Gu Qingxun and Qin Lang's field of vision.
"Penglai Faction Master Gu Qingxun is here to visit Mount Fangzhang!" Qin Lang said loudly. His voice was like a sudden clap of thunder that swept across the surface of the sea and reached Mount Fangzhang.
A moment later, the cultivators of Mount Fangzhang moved upon hearing the news. At least a thousand Mount Fangzhang cultivators came out to greet Gu Qingxun, as if they wanted to be the first to see him. In fact, this was Gu Qingxun's second time coming to Mount Fangzhang. However, the last time, Gu Qingxun was only a disciple who had just become an Immortal on Penglai Island. There were actually many young genius cultivators like him in the three great immortal mountains, so no one paid special attention to Gu Qingxun. It was only when Gu Qingxun won first place in the Tri-Mountains Supremacy Competition and obtained the Earth's Root that he truly gained some fame in the three great immortal mountains. However, there were always people who won first place in the Tri-Mountains Supremacy Competition. Although Gu Qingxun had already won first place back then, he wasn't particularly eye-catching. That was until the news of Gu Qingxun killing over a thousand Immortal-Slaying Golden Guards in one fell swoop.
There were many versions of the story about Gu Qingxun killing over a thousand Immortal-Slaying Golden Guards. For example, Gu Qingxun was the successor chosen by Mount Yuanzhang's will, so the entire Mount Yuanzhang's ruins fought for her. Another version said that she was a fated immortal, so she could inherit the orthodoxies of both Mount Yuanzhang and Mount Penglai at the same time. Of course, there were even more mysterious versions. They basically described the scene of Gu Qingxun activating the Mount Yuanzhang's ruins with all her might and unleashing a world-shaking destructive power. It was rumored that as long as a cultivator wasn't blind, they would never be able to forget that shocking scene.
In fact, even the cultivators of Mount Fangzhang could sense the powerful waves of Primal Qi when Gu Qingxun used the Mount Yuanzhang's ruins to kill the Immortal-Slaying Golden Guards, even if they didn't see it with their own eyes. Some of the cultivators of Mount Fangzhang had even used their divine senses to "witness" the entire scene, so they were truly in awe of Gu Qingxun.
Although Gu Qingxun wasn't very old, she was now the sect master of Mount Penglai. She carried the power of killing over a thousand Immortal-Slaying Golden Guards, so who would dare to disrespect her? Even the Sea People Tribe, who had always been arrogant and despotic, didn't dare to act recklessly against Gu Qingxun. This was the benefit of having strength and status.
Originally, there was no need for such a huge formation to welcome Gu Qingxun. The higher-ups of Mount Fangzhang knew this very well. Gu Qingxun was currently in the limelight, so sending so many people to welcome her would only boost her power. It wouldn't bring any benefits to Mount Fangzhang. Unfortunately, these low-level cultivators of Mount Fangzhang didn't think too much about it. They simply wanted to see Gu Qingxun's elegance. Then, if they had the chance, it would naturally be better if they could get acquainted with Gu Qingxun.
