Chen Kunhua took out that jade green talisman and passed it to Wang Zhengcheng before saying, "My brother's previous injuries have yet to recover. He might not be able to act personally this time."
"No matter. This is already enough." Wang Zhengcheng said, "The Piercing Sabre Torture destroys one's qi and blood. It will not be easy for him to recover from his injuries. Take care, Upper Exalt."
Chen Kunhua said, "Kunhua thanks Elder Wang for your concern on my brother's behalf."
He did not ask Wang Zhengcheng what he intended to do next as he said directly, "Since the item has already been delivered, this junior will take his leave first. Please wait, Elder Wang."
"Take care, Little Friend Chen," Wang Zhengcheng nodded, calling for someone to send Chen Kunhua off.
After sending Chen Kunhua off, Li Junxin who was in charge of sending off guests returned to the cave manor, "Master, could this item have been …"
"That's right. Speaking of which, that was over twenty years ago. We asked Upper Chen to act back then, but he ignored us in the end." Wang Zhengcheng shook his head, "His willingness to act now is probably due to his enmity with the Yan father and son."
"Still, it is not too late. There is still time."
The old man handed that jade green talisman to Li Junxin, instructing him on how to use it.
After the matter of Star Reflecting Lake and having been tricked by the Brocade Emperor, Li Junxin had already stabilised his mind, remaining as calm as ever.
Nie Jingshen having ascended to the Human Exalt stage before him, even shocking Immortals in battle, did not deal much of a blow to Li Junxin as he continued to cultivate steadily.
The current him could also step through that final bottleneck at any time, attaining the Human Exalt stage and attaining the Human Exalt stage.
"Send this item to that person," Wang Zhengcheng said, "Wait for the right moment. Wang Zhengcheng said, "Quietly wait for the right time. When the time comes, it will be the time of a storm."
Li Junxin nodded steadily, "Yes, Master."
He walked out, pausing after a few steps as he turned and said, "Master, the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion's daily profits are still secondary. The key is that its influence is growing, vaguely showing signs of gathering people's hearts."
"Right now, it's still too early to stir up any waves. But in the long run, if things continue to develop at this rate, their intentions will be damned."
Li Junxin frowned, "However much Yan Zhaoge builds up his momentum, it would still be impossible for him to stand shoulder to shoulder with Grand Master. Still, with the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion clearly tied together with the Northern High Peak now, this momentum falling on the Sword Sovereign's shoulders has instead caused the Sword Sovereign's might to grow more and more majestic."
"Yan Zhaoge's profit is only secondary. He is clearly secretly pointing his spear at my Qilin Cliff, at Grand Master and you!"
Wang Zhengcheng smiled faintly, "That is to be expected. Looking at the Yan Clan's Exiled Immortal's conduct in the past, he has never been someone who waits passively. If he can seize the initiative, of course he will not let go of the opportunity."
"If we had been on good terms with him and lived in harmony, he wouldn't have done so many things."
"It is just that many things do not change according to one's will. Fallen Deity Yan and his mother, Xue Chuqing, will bring immense trouble to our World beyond Worlds. We will naturally not sit by and do nothing about it. Even if we feel some pity for talent, we can only set this aside for now."
A look of pity appeared in the old man's gaze, "This is especially so for Fallen Immortal Yan. Like you, Junxin, he has already heard of the name of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord before attaining the Human Exalt realm. That great future of his has also become unclear now."
"News from the Brocade Emperor states that Yan Zhaoge has not planted the seed of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord within his mind like Fu Ting. Still, that is impossible."
"Still, this also makes things less difficult for us."
Hearing his words, Li Junxin was silent for a moment before he said, "Master, the matter of the Immortal Court and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord …"
"For the continuation of the orthodox lineage of Daoism, there are many times when we have to endure hardships. This is especially so when there is likely to be a turn for the better in the future. If we take a risk before that, we might instead bury our hopes and sacrifice ourselves for nothing." Wang Zhengcheng looked benevolently at his disciple, his gaze also filled with pity, "The Dim Radiant Emperor and the Bright Connection Emperor as well as some others may have been thinking for our Daoism. Still, if they were rash, they would only end up causing endless trouble."
"It is just a pity that you, Junxin, met with a tribulation for no reason due to the accident caused by the Brocade Emperor."
Li Junxin said, "This disciple need not worry for this disciple, Master. As you say, there might be a turn for the better in the future. If this disciple is unable to live till then, that is also fate."
"As for Yan Zhaoge, this disciple also admits that he is indeed a rare genius. Still, since he has gone astray, we can only give up on him."
"This person's capabilities truly cannot be measured by the standards of ordinary martial practitioners. Not only is he shockingly talented in the martial dao, he has actually caused such a great disturbance in establishing the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion within a short three years."
Wang Zhengcheng smiled, "It is precisely because he has caused such a great disturbance that the Snow Crane might let down her guard."
"This disciple somewhat understands now." Li Junxin pondered as he said, "Creating an illusion that the Sword Sovereign's influence surpasses that of Grand Master, creating an illusion that the Yan father and son are incomparably domineering. Only then would that Snow Crane feel safe, thinking that there is no longer a need for her to continue hiding, that her family will be able to protect her and that the World beyond Worlds will be hard pressed to continue hunting her down. Only then would she stop hiding and instead reveal herself."
Li Junxin raised his head to look at his Master, "After all, if she could reunite with her family and enjoy the bliss of a family, that Snow Crane would definitely not be willing to be separated from her flesh and blood, making it hard for husband and wife to reunite."
"Right, making use of kinship. While this method might be a little underhanded, it has been the most effective one up until now." Wang Zhengcheng slowly shook his head, "Still, since Upper Chen is finally willing to help now, this method is actually no longer needed."
Li Junxin asked, "Should we try to suppress the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion then?"
"Of course not. Three years have already passed. Why be in such a rush?" Wang Zhengcheng smiled, "Moreover, Fallen Deity Yan has caused so many lost treasures to reappear in this world. It is a good thing for our Daoism to prosper once more."
"This disciple will send them over now then," Li Junxin bowed, saying.
He then thought of something, "The Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion will be holding an auction next month. As this is the first time they have done so, I believe that it will be greatly influential. Yan Zhaoge and the others will also place considerable importance on it."
"This way, a great deal of their attention will definitely be drawn in. If we can just happen to succeed here, things will be much easier for us."
Wang Zhengcheng gazed into space, "I hope so. If this old man's calculations are correct, it should be happening very soon. As for whether we can make it in time for the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion's auction, that will have to depend on fate."
… …
Various plans were being made on Qilin Cliff.
Meanwhile, within Dragon Butterfly Valley, Yan Zhaoge was making the final preparations for the upcoming auction next month.
The current Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion had already completely established itself. Their three years of hard work had not been in vain after all.
If this auction were to be held successfully, their position as the head of the industry would be hard to shake.
Still, Yan Zhaoge now received a piece of news that left him scratching his head.
"The Brocade Emperor has sent word that he will be participating in the auction this time?" Yan Zhaoge looked quizzically at Ah Hu before him, "Do you know which Brocade Emperor it is?"
