"That's right."
Miaoqing nodded slightly.
Daoist Feishuang's eyes lit up. "Master, did Chang 'an agree to our terms?"
"No." Miaoqing shook his head. "Their reply is that Chang 'an doesn't accept any terms."
Daoist Feishuang was disappointed at first, but he quickly changed his mind. "What else did they say?"
Miaoqing walked around the cauldron with his hands behind his back. "What kind of reward we get depends on our performance."
Daoist Feishuang's face twitched. "What arrogance …"
Miaoqing said lightly, "But they have the right."
Daoist Feishuang fell silent.
Yuquan Peak was a famous Daoist sect in Northern Qi.
Their sect leader, Miaoqing, was a ninth-level Daoist master.
Icefire Valley was completely destroyed, and Misty Sky Peak's sect leader, Lin Ying, was also trapped in Chang 'an.
Other than King Qi Gao Tiankai, there were only three ninth-level Daoists left in Northern Qi: Miaoqing, Xuanming Temple's sect leader, Daoist Zi Que, and Shuofeng Academy's head, He Yuan.
If Xuanming Temple hadn't gradually risen in recent years, Yuquan Peak would have been the number one Daoist sect in Northern Qi.
Even though Xuanming Temple had risen, its foundation was still not as deep as Yuquan Peak's.
From Yuquan Peak's point of view, Xuanming Temple still needed time.
However, the appearance of this challenger made Miaoqing, the sect leader of Yuquan Peak, wary.
It was an eventful time.
Northern Qi was at a critical moment in the competition for the position of Crown Prince.
Chang 'an was rising in the outside world.
Icefire Valley was destroyed, and Misty Sky Peak withered.
While Northern Qi felt threatened, Yuquan Peak also had to start thinking about what to do next.
Yuquan Peak was indeed a famous Daoist sect in Northern Qi, and they had ninth-level Daoists.
But there were already three dynasties that had been destroyed by Chang 'an City.
Countless ninth-level Daoists had fallen.
King of Tang, Li Xuanxin; King of Chu, Xiang Qianqiu; King of Zhou, Ji Fang; Dean of White Horse College, Hong Xiao; Green Cloud Temple, Daoist Master Qing Ye; Master of Hidden Sword Villa, Wu Xiao; Master of Misty Sky Peak, Lin Ying; Master of Icefire Valley, Guan Hao …
This list could be stretched out for a very long time. It was so long that before anyone could finish reading it, they would already feel dizzy and frightened.
Although not all of them were killed in Chang 'an at the same time, this lineup, if gathered together, was enough to defeat any dynasty in the Eastern Border.
"Master, what should we do then?" Daoist Fei Shuang asked softly.
Immortal Miaoqing looked calm. "Don't do anything. Just do as the other party wrote in the letter. As long as you make enough contributions, Chang 'an will naturally not be stingy with rewards. Many people have already verified this point."
Daoist Fei Shuang pondered for a moment, "In terms of merits, I'm afraid only conquering the Northern Qi Dynasty can be considered a great merit, right? However, the Prince of Qi, Gao Tiankai's strength is truly unfathomable. I'm afraid … "
"Don't be greedy."
Immortal Miaoqing shook his head. "Being greedy will only bring harm to yourself."
Immortal Miaoqing asked, "Then, when Chang 'an officially attacks Qi, should we coordinate with them from the inside and outside?"
Immortal Miaoqing looked at him. "Anyone can do this. How can it be considered a great merit?"
Daoist Fei Shuang was stunned. "Master, you mean …"
"Contact more people. Before Chang 'an officially attacks Northern Qi, they should submit to Chang' an," Immortal Miaoqing said. "When the time comes, Chang 'an will attack Qi and everyone will respond. Only then will Yuquan Peak be able to claim the greatest merit."
Daoist Fei Shuang nodded. "Master, you're right. Which sect should we choose?"
Immortal Miaoqing spat out four words, "Shuofeng Academy."
His disciple was stunned again. "Master …"
Since he wanted to claim the greatest merit, he should first be able to lead the others.
Therefore, Daoist Fei Shuang did not even consider the other two sects that had Ninth Realm masters.
Who would have thought that his master's first target would be Shuofeng Academy, which had Ninth Realm scholars and reinforcements?
Moreover, the Vice President of Shuofeng Academy, Yan Sheng, was captured in Chang 'an.
Immortal Miaoqing looked at his disciple and was slightly disappointed. "Shuofeng is the most suitable ally. When the time comes, we can welcome Chang 'an into the capital and take down Northern Qi."
Daoist Fei Shuang thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Master, you mean that Gao Zheng is in Chang 'an's hands, so they don't welcome Northern Qi?"
King Qi's second son, Gao Zheng, was a student of Shuofeng Academy. He was supported by Shuofeng Academy to fight for the position of Crown Prince of Qi.
However, he was captured in Chang 'an together with the Vice President of Shuofeng Academy, Yan Sheng.
Shuofeng Academy had lost its investment target in Northern Qi's royal family.
Although Yan Sheng was captured by Chang 'an, since he was not dead, there was still a chance to turn hostility into friendship.
Daoist Fei Shuang even suspected that even if Yan Sheng was dead, when Chang 'an's army arrived, there would be many people in Shuofeng Academy who would bow their heads.
As for Yuquan Peak, they were already disappointed in Gao Zhao, the third son of King Qi.
They chose to join Chang 'an without any burden.
"He Yuan is a gentleman. He will take me as the leader." Immortal Miaoqing made a fuss.
Daoist Fei Shuang nodded.
The main point of his master's words was the word "leader."
Although He Yuan was also a Ninth Realm expert, as long as Immortal Miaoqing followed the idea of joining Chang 'an, he would definitely be the leader in front of Chang' an in the future.
Daoist Fei Shuang suddenly understood that his master contacted Shuofeng Academy first to test their intentions.
What if Shuofeng Academy was like them and had been secretly communicating with Chang 'an long ago?
If he could find out as much information as possible, he would have more room to react.
"Master, should I go to Shuofeng Academy?" Daoist Fei Shuang asked.
After thinking for a while, Immortal Miaoqing wrote a letter and passed it to his disciple, "Be careful. Go."
Daoist Fei Shuang received the letter and kept it carefully. After bidding farewell to his master, he immediately left Yuquan Peak.
However, before he could leave the peak, a person walked towards him.
It was the Third Prince of Northern Qi, Gao Zhao.
"Senior Fei Shuang, are you going down the peak?" Gao Zhao asked.
Daoist Fei Shuang was secretly alarmed, but he acted as if nothing happened, "Junior Du is traveling outside. He wrote a letter saying that he encountered some trouble. I will go and help him settle it."
Gao Zhao nodded, "Then be careful. I will go and meet my master."
Daoist Fei Shuang asked, "What's the matter?"
Gao Zhao replied, "My father invited my master to meet in the capital to discuss how to deal with the threat of Chang 'an."
Daoist Fei Shuang was even more alarmed, "My master is in the alchemy room. You go and meet him. I will go and find Junior Du first."
Gao Zhao nodded and walked past him.
Daoist Fei Shuang was a little worried. He did not know if King Qi had already suspected Yuquan Peak.
This time, he invited Daoist Miao Qing to the capital with ill intentions.
As he was thinking, he went down the peak and prepared to head towards Shuo Feng Academy.
Who would have thought that not long after he left the peak, there was a sudden gust of wind that broke the cloud beneath his feet!
Daoist Fei Shuang was shocked and quickly prepared to counterattack.
However, the opponent's blade aura was too fast and ferocious. He did not even have time to react before his entire body was cut in half.
Daoist Fei Shuang did not even have the chance to let his soul out of his body before he was killed by the opponent.
There was only one thought in his mind:
The domineering aura of a king!
The Snow Wind Divine Blade!
King Qi, Gao Tiankai, personally made a move!
King Qi had already come to Yuquan Peak?
Daoist Fei Shuang's heart was filled with extreme fear. However, in the next moment, his consciousness had already dissipated and he died on the spot.
His corpse fell to the ground beside someone's feet.
This person stretched out his hand and searched for a letter on Daoist Fei Shuang's corpse.
After reading the letter, he destroyed it.
In the snow, King Qi's face was revealed.
Alone, he walked towards Yuquan Peak.
In the alchemy room on the mountain, Daoist Miao Qing suddenly had an ominous premonition.
He subconsciously went out of the alchemy room and focused his senses. He immediately discovered that someone was activating the protective array!
Daoist Miao Qing's face darkened. His body flashed and he appeared at the core of the array.
The Third Prince of Northern Qi, Gao Zhao, was here.
Daoist Miao Qing saw this and squinted his eyes, "You are here … Gao Tiankai is outside?"
He swung the horsetail whisk in his hand and instantly, scarlet Thunder struck towards Gao Zhao.
On the surface of Gao Zhao's body, scarlet Thunder floated and quickly condensed into the image of a Daoist.
Yuquan Peak's Zhu Lei Dharma Supreme Form was formed, showing that Gao Zhao's cultivation was at the eighth level of Daoism.
However, he was still no match for Daoist Miao Qing who was at the ninth level.
Daoist Miao Qing's Zhu Lei Dharma Supreme Form shook Gao Zhao's Zhu Lei Dharma Supreme Form. Cracks appeared on it and it was about to shatter.
Gao Zhao parried his master's attack and retreated, "Master, why do you want to rebel against Daqi? You are two hundred years old and your cultivation is at the age of sixty. Even if you don't want to help Daqi, why do you want to rely on Chang 'an? "
Daoist Miao Qing's face was as calm as water. He completely ignored Gao Zhao's words and only attacked.
But at this moment, he felt a sharp blade aura coming from the foot of the mountain.
The blade aura directly shattered Yuquan Peak's gate.
On Yuquan Peak, other than Gao Zhao, another eighth level Daoist Miao Le came forward to stop him.
However, in front of King Qi Gao Tiankai, his Dharma Supreme Form could not withstand three strikes and was shattered.
Streaks of scarlet Thunder ran in all directions and could not gather again.
Daoist Miao Qing saw this and felt helpless.
Before he defeated Gao Zhao, Miao Le and the other Yuquan Peak disciples would die at the hands of King Qi.
Daoist Miao Qing could only make a feint in an attempt to force Gao Zhao back and then face King Qi.
However, Gao Zhao did not continue to fight with his master. Instead, he took the initiative to attack and delay Daoist Miao Qing.
Daoist Miao Qing was furious. He could only deal with Gao Zhao first.
He used the Yang Thunder Vermillion Sword of the Vermillion Thunder Technique and broke Gao Zhao's Vermillion Thunder Supreme Form with one strike!
Gao Zhao was forced to retreat.
But at this moment, a fierce blade suddenly descended.
King Qi Gao Tiankai had already rushed up the mountain and arrived in front of Daoist Miao Qing.
Daoist Miao Qing and Gao Tiankai exchanged blows. After dozens of rounds, Daoist Miao Qing gradually could not hold on.
In order to have a chance to take revenge in the future, he could only seek to escape first.
Generally speaking, if a ninth level expert wanted to escape, it would be very difficult for an expert of the same level to kill him on the spot.
But at this moment, just as Daoist Miao Qing was about to leave, his own mountain gate's great formation suddenly activated.
Streaks of scarlet Thunder danced in the air like ropes, guiding Daoist Miao Qing's own Thunder Light and not allowing him to escape.
