Qingzhou, Huyue County City.
Huyue County was originally the center of Qingzhou. The palace of Xiao Yao Palace was located outside of Huyue County City. However, ever since the palace of Xiao Yao Palace was destroyed and the entire mountain was struck by lightning, Huyue County's status among the eighteen counties of Qingzhou had dropped. However, the headquarters of the Snowy Lotus Cult had been relocated to Huyue County.
The headquarters of the Snowy Lotus Cult was located in the northern district of Huyue County City. It occupied a vast area.
One should know that many mansions in the Huyue County City used to be the residences of the high-ranking members of Xiao Yao Palace. However, they were now occupied by the Snowy Lotus Cult.
"All of you can leave. Little Jun and Foreign Dignitary Luo, stay."
"Yes, Master (Sect Leader)!"
In the spacious hall, the Great Saintess and the Second Saintess of the Snowy Lotus Cult retreated respectfully along with the nine Supreme Elders. Teng Qingshan and Li Jun were the only two people left.
"The High Priestess of the Snowy Lotus Cult is really ruthless. She actually allowed the other two Holy Daughters to become Elders. In this way, the other two Holy Daughters will have no hope of becoming the High Priestess of the Snowy Lotus Cult. Now, Little Jun will definitely become the High Priestess of the Snowy Lotus Cult." Teng Qingshan glanced at the High Priestess of the Snowy Lotus Cult. The High Priestess's face was flushed. She was wearing a pink robe, which made her look even more beautiful. Based on her appearance, it was impossible to tell that she was over a hundred years old. At this moment, the High Priestess was looking at Teng Qingshan with a smile.
"Foreign Dignitary Huhe," the High Priestess of the Snowy Lotus Cult said in a gentle voice, "Foreign Dignitary, you have hidden yourself well. You have reached the Emptiness Realm, but you didn't tell us."
"Cult Master didn't ask." Teng Qingshan smiled.
"If I don't ask, you won't tell me?" The High Priestess of the Snowy Lotus Cult couldn't help but giggle. "Huhe, my Eldest Senior Martial Brother invited you to join the Heavenly God Palace and even gave you the title of God of Heaven. Isn't this a great thing? Now that you have become the 'God of Heaven' of the Heavenly God Palace, who in the entire Nine Prefectures would dare to provoke you? If you want to establish a sect, you can totally establish a sect just like how I established the Snowy Lotus Cult. "
Teng Qingshan smiled and shook his head.
"What a blockhead."
The High Priestess of the Snowy Lotus Cult wore a cold expression as she looked at Li Jun and said, "Little Jun, your man is a blockhead and a fool."
Li Jun couldn't help but smile.
"Girls tend to leave their husbands." The High Priestess of the Snowy Lotus Cult shook her head helplessly and instructed, "Alright, you two can leave now."
"Yes, Teacher." Li Jun hastily bowed.
"Oh right." The High Priestess of the Snowy Lotus Cult stared at Li Jun solemnly and said, "Little Jun, I have already said that from today onwards, you are the only Saintess of the Snowy Lotus Cult. When I'm not around, you will be in charge of the Snowy Lotus Cult's affairs. So — Little Jun, don't be lazy. "
"Yes, Master." Li Jun could only respond.
"Go," the High Priestess of the Snowy Lotus Cult instructed.
Li Jun then left with Teng Qingshan. Before they left, Teng Qingshan merely nodded and smiled at the High Priestess of the Snowy Lotus Cult.
"This Huhe is so boring!" The High Priestess of the Snowy Lotus Cult narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "However, your wife has become the future High Priestess of the Snowy Lotus Cult of the Heavenly God Palace, and you are a Foreign Dignitary. Even if you don't join the Heavenly God Palace, what's the difference between joining and not joining? "
…
Teng Qingshan and Li Jun were leisurely drinking tea and chatting in their residence.
"Qingshan, the Heavenly God Palace is really generous. In order to rope you in, they even let my Eldest Martial Sister and Second Martial Sister become Elders," Li Jun said as she ate some melon seeds.
Teng Qingshan looked at Li Jun and said, "In their eyes, I don't belong to any sect. Of course, it's worth it to rope me in! However, Little Jun … from today onwards, you are the Substitute High Priestess of the Snowy Lotus Cult! You'll be much busier. "
"I just can't leave with you, Qingshan." Li Jun was slightly distressed.
"This matter will be resolved soon." Teng Qingshan reached out and held Li Jun's hand.
"Yes." Li Jun nodded.
"I'm preparing to leave tomorrow morning." Teng Qingshan said with a serious expression, "According to the intelligence, the Heavenly God Palace destroyed Xiao Yao Palace, causing more chaos in the world. In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, many super sects have begun to purge their territories. "
Seeing the destruction of Xiao Yao Palace, sects like Hong Tian City, Snow Hawk Hall, and Qing Hu Island were also worried that some sects would rebel within their territories.
They couldn't give the small sects any room to develop!
This was the common understanding of all the sects. Xiao Yao Palace only controlled fifteen of the eighteen counties and didn't care about the other three counties at all. Moreover, Xiao Yao Palace's management was very lax. This was why the Snowy Lotus Cult developed an army of several hundred thousand by relying on the three counties.
"Now, Hong Tian City has already taken action. They want to destroy some of the small sects and the large bandit gangs in Youzhou in the northeast!"
"I'm worried that Qing Hu Island will do the same!"
This was common sense!
To the super sects, they had to settle their internal affairs before resisting foreign aggression! For example, Yangzhou's Qing Hu Island only occupied one county. If the Heavenly God Palace invaded Yangzhou, they would probably reach an agreement with the Gui Yuan Sect, giving the Gui Yuan Sect a county and letting the Gui Yuan Sect act as a spy.
The Gui Yuan Sect was located in the hinterland of Yangzhou.
The Gui Yuan Sect was inside, and the Heavenly God Palace was outside … If they joined forces, Qing Hu Island wouldn't be able to defend! The best way was to spend some effort to destroy the Gui Yuan Sect first. Then, they would unite Yangzhou and fight against the Heavenly God Palace.
"Therefore, I must give Qing Hu Island a headache. Qing Hu Island won't have the energy to deal with the Gui Yuan Sect," Teng Qingshan said solemnly.
If the Heavenly God Palace didn't unite Qingzhou, Teng Qingshan wouldn't be in a hurry to deal with Qing Hu Island. But now, he was in a hurry.
"Yes, I understand." Li Jun nodded.
"Little Jun, according to our previous plan … Gather information about the people who have a grudge against Qing Hu Island from the intelligence organization of the Snowy Lotus Cult," Teng Qingshan instructed.
*****
On the morning of the 6th of December, Teng Qingshan left Huyue County.
On the afternoon of the same day, Teng Qingshan arrived at Yangzhou's Nanxing County. Dressed in a white cloak, Teng Qingshan looked like a handsome and noble young master.
"Master!" When the guards at the entrance of the Li Residence saw Teng Qingshan, they greeted him respectfully.
"Did anyone come to see me while I was away?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"Master, a few days ago, someone from Jiangning County wanted to see you," a bearded guard said respectfully. "He said he wanted to give you a letter. However, he waited for a long time, but you didn't come, so he left the letter and left."
Teng Qingshan's heart thumped.
Jiangning County? Maybe it was the Gui Yuan Sect.
"Master, Young Master Yang Dong came back six days ago." The bearded guard said hastily, "He stayed in the residence for a day and then left."
"Ah Dong came back?" Teng Qingshan's eyes brightened.
… …
After a while, the housekeeper respectfully handed the letter sent by the person from Jiangning County to Teng Qingshan.
As he walked in the inner court, Teng Qingshan opened the letter and asked, "A letter from Jiangning County?"
After opening the letter.
There were only four words in the letter — "Fiery Gilt Completed."
"Success?" Teng Qingshan smiled.
If an outsider received this letter, they wouldn't understand the meaning of the words "Fiery Gilt Completed." After all, no one in the Land of the Nine Prefectures knew about the Fiery Gilt Steel.
"The Fiery Gilt Steel Armor has been completed. With the speed of the Gui Yuan Sect's armor forging, the three thousand sets of armor should be completed within a month." Teng Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief. "With the Fiery Gilt Steel Armor, Qing Hu Island won't be able to rely on human wave tactics even if they attack."
The best way to deal with human wave tactics was to use elite tactics!
"I wonder what that kid Ah Dong said in the letter he left me after he returned."
As he walked in the inner court, Teng Qingshan quickly entered the study.
Back then, Teng Qingshan had instructed his two disciples to report to him every two or three months after they went to the Tai Ah Mountain Range. If he wasn't around, they should leave a letter in the study under the papers.
In the study.
Teng Qingshan walked into the study and found a letter among the many pieces of Xuan paper on the study table. "It's really here!"
The words on the letter were written in Duanmu Continent's handwriting — "To Master, from disciple Yang Dong."
Outsiders wouldn't be able to recognize this letter.
"Master, Eldest Martial Brother and I have formed a gang of over a thousand bandits in the Tai Ah Mountain Range. I named this gang 'Xiong Shou Gang.' Every member of our Xiong Shou Gang is a hero … "Looking at Yang Dong's boastful words, Teng Qingshan smiled.
"Yang Dong is good at being a bandit."
Teng Qingshan smiled and said, "Ah Shou actually agreed to the name 'Xiong Shou'?"
Teng Shou and Yang Dong, the two martial brothers, were definitely suitable to become bandits.
… …
Teng Qingshan cultivated alone in the Li Residence until the third day after he came back.
"Puchi!" "Xiu!"
With the Reincarnation Spear in his hand, Teng Qingshan practiced the moves of the spear art. For a moment, the spear was like lightning, and his body was like a swimming dragon. Every move contained the concept of Dao. It was as if a volcano was erupting, as if the heavens and the earth were being split apart by an axe, and as if a fireball that was as bright as the sun was smashing towards the ground …
The Six Legged Bladelike Chi widened its eyes and stared at Teng Qingshan, who was practicing the fist art.
"Master, Master!" A clear voice came from afar.
"Eh?" Teng Qingshan stopped in surprise.
The Six Legged Bladelike Chi immediately widened its triangular eyes. It was very angry that Teng Qingshan stopped practicing. It was so angry that two thick breaths came out of its nostrils.
"They wouldn't dare to disturb me if there's nothing important." Teng Qingshan put down the Reincarnation Spear and walked to the entrance of the courtyard.
Creak —
A pretty maid with two braids stood at the entrance of the courtyard. She stared at Teng Qingshan with her big and clear eyes and said nervously, "Old Master, there's a letter. It's said to be from Madam."
Teng Qingshan took the letter in surprise.
"Go." Teng Qingshan waved his hand.
The maid cast a few glances at Teng Qingshan and left hastily like a frightened rabbit. She thought to herself, "Our master is really handsome, just like what the sisters said."
Teng Qingshan returned to the training field as he opened the letter.
"As expected!"
When he opened the letter, there was a stack of paper inside. A smile appeared on Teng Qingshan's face. The letter wrote —
"The information of nine people is recorded in this letter. These nine people have an irreconcilable hatred with Qing Hu Island. The first person is called Zhang Wei … … "The entire piece of paper was densely packed. It took a total of twelve pieces of paper to fill up the information of nine people. Everyone in the list had an irreconcilable hatred with Qing Hu Island.
"Which one should I help?" Teng Qingshan thought to himself.
