What happened next was even weirder.
The Nan Hua Immortal Sect did not make any moves. At most, they would occasionally throw two immortal talismans at the array that was glowing with colorful lights, but they did not launch any real attacks.
Fenglong Sect who came to seek justice and wanted to take revenge on Nan Hua Immortal Sect didn't take the initiative to attack either.
Both sides had assumed their stances. And yet, there was a very calm look on their faces. Many cultivators could not understand what was going on.
Xiao Lingyu was also confused. He asked Qing Xuan once but Qing Xuan didn't give him any details.
Many outsiders who cared about this battle were even more confused. Both sides didn't want to stop when there was a third party mediating. Why did they suddenly stop at this crucial moment?
"One side should take the initiative in order for the battle to truly begin." That was what everyone thought.
So some people started to mock Fenglong Sect for being cowards. Nan Hua Immortal Sect killed one of their immortal emperors and they could only put up a formation to scare them.
There were also people who mocked the Nan Hua Immortal Sect. The Feng Long Sect had sent so many experts to their territory and even put on airs. Why didn't the Nan Hua Immortal Sect chase them out of their territory? Was Nan Hua Immortal Sect and Fenglong Sect sharing the Divine Tomb Continent?
Regardless of the public opinion, Nan Hua Immortal Sect and Fenglong Sect seemed determined to fight it out. Neither side attacked first.
"Since they're stalling for time, why don't we gather more experts from the sect and kill them all in one fell swoop?" Xiao Lingyu suggested to Qing Xuan.
"The sect won't send more experts. Didn't you see that Fenglong Sect didn't send anyone either?" Qing Xuan answered.
Xiao Lingyu knew that he didn't understand a lot of things, and Qing Xuan and Qing Pingzi weren't in a hurry, so he didn't have to worry about it. He was also happy to be free as long as there was no war.
There were indeed a lot of things that Xiao Lingyu didn't know, and these things couldn't see the light of day. They were all done in private.
For example, not long after he found Qing Xuan, Qing Xuan left the gathering place of Nan Hua Immortal Sect's experts and went to a barren mountain hundreds of thousands of miles away from Jade Light Lake to meet an expert from Fenglong Sect.
For example, before Qingxuan met a powerhouse from the Fenglong Sect, the black-cloaked cultivator who had been hiding in the City Lord's Mansion of the Divine Tomb City, whom Jingfu called Martial Uncle, had also met a powerhouse from the Fenglong Sect.
No one could imagine that the two factions of the Nan Hua Immortal Sect, who were in favor of suppressing the Feng Long Sect, would secretly communicate with the experts of the Feng Long Sect when the two sects were about to go to war. No one knew that this was the reason why the war hadn't started yet.
In a hidden cave not far from Jade Light Lake, Jing Fu and the black-cloaked cultivator sat together again.
"Martial Uncle, Martial Uncle Qing Xuan seems to have met with people from Fenglong Sect." Jing Fu said worriedly.
"Haha, don't worry, Qing Xuan killed an Immortal Emperor from them so they won't cooperate with Qing Xuan." The person smiled.
"That's hard to say, they didn't agree to cooperate with us."
Jing Fu continued: "What if they know that we plotted to get them involved …" The person didn't care.
That person said nonchalantly, "So what if they know? They don't have any evidence. Even if they guessed it, they wouldn't care too much. After all, they are already here. They definitely want some benefits, and the only one who can give them benefits is us. Other than working with us, they don't have a better choice."
"They haven't agreed to cooperate with us, do they think our conditions aren't good enough?" Jing Fu asked again.
"I don't know about that. Our conditions are actually very good. Under normal circumstances, they would have agreed to it long ago after being forced to this extent. I have a feeling that they are a little suspicious this time. Although Jing Fei suffered a great loss in my battle with him, they still sent people to the Divine Tomb Continent. Moreover, one of them was killed so easily by Qing Xuan. It is very puzzling. "The person who came said with uncertainty.
"Martial Uncle, how long do you think Fenglong Sect will drag this out with us?" Jing Fu asked.
"That depends on Qing Xuan. If they don't cooperate with Qing Xuan, Qing Xuan will definitely make things difficult for them. I feel that if the Feng Long Sect doesn't make the first move now, they won't do so in the future. "
"What if the Thriving Prosperity Sect really goes all out against our Nan Hua Immortal School …"
"There's no 'what if'!"
Before Jing Fu could finish, the person explained, "Fenglong Sect won't make the first move. If Qing Xuan attacks them, they will definitely choose to cooperate with us and let us restrain Qing Xuan. Otherwise, who among them can defeat Qing Xuan?"
This stalemate lasted for almost a year. Finally, one day, Qingxuan seemed to have run out of patience. She led the cultivators of the Southern Flower Immortal School to launch the fiercest attack on the array that shone with colorful light.
The array was miraculous. Even with an expert like Qing Xuan attacking, it lasted for an entire day before showing signs of collapsing.
Just as Xiao Lingyu was thinking about how to fight after breaking the array, Qing Xuan suddenly ordered them to retreat. Everyone worked for nothing.
"Senior Martial Sister, why did you order us to retreat before breaking the array?" Xiao Lingyu asked in confusion.
The other disciples of Nan Hua Immortal Sect also had the same question, but no one dared to ask Qing Xuan.
"We've spent a lot of energy attacking the array for an entire day. Once we break the array, we'll be at a disadvantage in the fierce battle," Qing Xuan explained.
To be honest, Xiao Lingyu wasn't satisfied with this explanation, but he didn't ask further. He didn't have the right or interest to do so.
Since they couldn't break the array today, the cultivators of Fenglong Sect would naturally reinforce the array while the disciples of Nan Hua Immortal Sect recovered. In the future, the cultivators of Nan Hua Immortal Sect would have to bombard the array for another day. Therefore, Qing Xuan's explanation didn't make sense.
What was more strange was that after the cultivators of Nan Hua Immortal Sect recovered to their peak condition, Qing Xuan didn't order them to attack again. The two sides were in a stalemate again.
In the hidden cave, the cloaked cultivator let out a long sigh and said to Jing Fu, "Just as I expected, once Qing Xuan starts attacking, they won't be able to hold on. Didn't they agree to work with us now?"
Jing Fu asked curiously, "Since they agreed to work with us, I'm sure Martial Aunt Qing Xuan will attack even more fiercely. Why did she stop?"
That person smiled, "Although Qing Xuan is powerful, she's not experienced enough to command two armies. Most of the Immortal Emperors from the sect are from her faction. She won't sacrifice too much of her people."
In fact, Qing Xuan didn't attack because the experts of Fenglong Sect also agreed to work with her.
This time, Qing Wei plotted against Fenglong Sect on the Godly Tomb Continent and forced Fenglong Sect to fight with Nan Hua Immortal Sect. They wanted to force and tempt Fenglong Sect to work with them, but they didn't expect that Qing Xuan would come personally with many Emperor Realm experts from Qing Xuan's faction to mess up the situation.
Qing Xuan and Qing Wei thought Fenglong Sect was working with them, but they didn't expect that Fenglong Sect was just patronizing them.
Less than a month after Qing Xuan's first fierce attack, on a tense and quiet night, a colorful light suddenly shot up into the sky from the center of Jadelight Lake. It was like a sharp sword that could split the sky, piercing the nine heavens.
At the same time, an extremely powerful shockwave swept out in all directions.
The earth trembled violently as if there was an earthquake. The space around Jadelight Lake also fluctuated violently.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, Qingxuan was flying high up in the air. Looking at the rainbow light that soared into the sky, she was extremely surprised.
"There seems to be a very pure and overbearing divine power in it!" Xiao Lingyu said with narrowed eyes.
"It seems that Qing Wei and I were deceived by Fenglong Sect. They came here on their own initiative, not because we were forced to. It seems that we tricked them, but in fact, they were also tricking us," Qing Xuan said with a cold smile.
On the other hand, Jing Fu and the cloaked cultivator who were originally hiding in the concealed cave were startled as well, and their faces were filled with shock and astonishment.
"No wonder the Feng Long Sect was so cooperative. First, they let Jing Fei come over. Then, after Jing Fei was injured, they sent more people over. They didn't even hesitate to let an Immortal Emperor expert die here. It turns out that they had a bigger plan. Moreover, they deceived everyone and made their plan come to this step," that person said angrily.
"A bigger plan? What is it? "Jing Fu asked in confusion.
"If Fenglong Sect is willing to sacrifice an Immortal Emperor, what else could they be after? Of course, it's the legendary Tomb of the Gods!" The man said with hatred.
The Fenglong Sect was indeed after the Tomb of the God of Sin, and they had already confirmed that the Tomb of the God of Sin was in the Jade Light Lake. However, after confirming it, they did not dare to send their experts over in a big way. Otherwise, it would arouse the suspicions of those with ulterior motives. The Nan Hua Immortal Sect's Qing Wei Faction had schemed against them, which gave them an excellent opportunity.
By now, the cultivators of Nan Hua Immortal Sect had naturally thought of this, and Xiao Lingyu was no exception.
"They must have come prepared. Now that there has been such a big commotion, I guess all the treasures in the Tomb of the Gods have fallen into their hands," Xiao Lingyu said with a look of pity.
"The Tomb of the Gods is the tomb of the Immortal. Even if Fenglong Sect sent many experts, they might not be able to get what they want. We might have a chance if we go now!"
Qing Xuan shook his head at Xiao Lingyu and shouted to the cultivators of Nan Hua Immortal Sect, "Follow me and kill! We'll take all the treasures in the Tomb of the Gods!"
Just as Qing Xuan led the cultivators of Nan Hua Immortal Sect to Jadelight Lake, the colorful defensive formation in front of Jadelight Lake moved back at an extremely fast speed. It did not take long for it to reach the center of Jadelight Lake and covered the small area there.
At this time, the divine light had disappeared and the cultivators of Nan Hua Immortal Sect had to break the formation first.
