Compared to traveling thousands of miles to the South Sea, the journey back to Qingzhou was much easier.
The prefectural cities of the various prefectures were equipped with Teleportation Portals.
Therefore, Lu Qingshan only needed to use a few more Teleportation Formations, and he would be able to reach the various prefectures of the Qing Province effortlessly.
In a flash, Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian appeared in the Teleportation Portal.
"We're here," Lu Qingshan said to Qin Yitian. "Qingzhou, Spiritual Ruins Mansion."
When Dantai Qingrun had bid farewell to him, she had told him that her next job would be Qingzhou's Spiritual Ruins Mansion. She told Lu Qingshan that if he needed to return to Zhishou Tower, he could look for her at any time.
With such a powerful backer willing to protect him, Lu Qingshan did not hesitate and went straight to Spiritual Ruins Mansion with a clear goal in mind.
Of course, apart from Dantai Qingrun, Lu Qingshan had a more important reason for coming to Spiritual Ruins Mansion.
According to the information in the expansion pack, there seemed to be a chance to obtain an immortal codex …
After arriving at Spiritual Ruins Mansion, Lu Qingshan immediately took out a communication token from his storage ring.
The communication imprint on it was from Xiao Zhi.
If he remembered correctly, he should have come to Spiritual Ruins Mansion with Dantai Qingrun.
Lu Qingshan thought.
The three cultivators from River Suppression Tower were still indignantly complaining about Dantai Qingrun's injustice.
At this time, Xiao Zhi suddenly frowned slightly. His right hand reached into his bosom and took out a token.
The token glowed faintly.
The communication imprint on the token belonged to Lu Qingshan.
The communication token would only be effective within a certain distance.
After parting ways with Lu Qingshan at River Suppression, the token had been quiet for a long time.
Now that there was a sudden movement, didn't that mean that Lu Qingshan was in Spiritual Ruins Mansion?
"…" Xiao Zhi only hesitated for a moment before he suddenly reacted and said in surprise, "He's here!"
"Who's here?" Zuo Tao asked when he saw Xiao Zhi's sudden excitement.
"A helper. A helper who can help Tower Lord Dantai clear the situation!" Xiao Zhi said excitedly.
"Huh?"
Zuo Tao and Zhong Mian were confused.
"I'll explain it to you later. I'll go find him now," Xiao Zhi said hurriedly and left, leaving Zuo Tao and Zhong Mian looking at each other.
"What did Xiao Zhi just say?" Zhong Mian asked uncertainly, "He said that someone can help Landlord Tantai salvage the situation?"
"That's what he said …" Zuo Tao was hesitant.
However, what kind of person would be able to turn the tide in such a situation?
Zuo Tao and Zhong Mian were.
…
Beside the Teleportation Formation.
Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian stood side by side. Both of them looked extraordinary, and the cultivators guarding the Teleportation Formation kept glancing at them.
A moment later.
A male cultivator with a round face entered Lu Qingshan's line of sight.
"You didn't wait long, did you?" Xiao Zhi walked over. When he saw Lu Qingshan, he could not hide the joy on his face.
"Eh, this is …" Xiao Zhi only noticed Qin Yitian standing beside Lu Qingshan when he saw her standing next to Lu Qingshan. He guessed uncertainly, "Is Lu Qingshan your cultivation partner?"
"That's not wrong," Qin Yitian said calmly, "but it's not the kind of relationship you think it is."
"I'm sorry for the offense," Xiao Zhi quickly apologized.
Qin Yitian shook her head.
"How's the situation over here?" Lu Qingshan asked.
Lu Qingshan's question seemed to have opened Xiao Zhi's mouth. He immediately began to talk to Lu Qingshan about how he had been bullied in the Spiritual Ruins Tower for the past six months.
After a long while, when Xiao Zhi spoke, Lu Qingshan had a rough idea of what was going on. He thought for a while, then said softly, "Take me to see Dantai Qingrun first."
"Alright, come with me." Xiao Zhi nodded. "Dantai Tower Lord will be very happy to see you back!"
Lu Qingshan thought of Dantai Qingrun's exquisite but expressionless face. He pursed his lips. "That's hard to say."
…
Ding ding ding!
Dantai Qingrun, who was flipping through a mountain of jade slips on the table, heard the warning from the restriction at the door. She knew that someone was waiting outside. She put down the jade slips in her hand and said coldly, "Come in."
The door was pushed open.
Dantai Qingrun's eyes narrowed when she saw Xiao Zhi walk in with Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian.
Dantai Qingrun quickly calmed down. She acted as if she did not see Qin Yitian. She said to Lu Qingshan, "You're back?"
At this time, Xiao Zhi had already tactfully retreated, leaving space for the three of them.
In response to Tantai Qingrun's question, Lu Qingshan nodded his head casually and said carelessly, "If I didn't come back, I don't know how much more House Lord Tantai would have to suffer."
Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Tantai Qingrun's cold brows swept. She didn't know why, but when there were other women present, she subconsciously didn't want to admit her predicament in front of Lu Qingshan.
She did not deny it, though. She seemed to understand that there was no point in denying it in front of the truth.
After a moment of silence, Dantai Qingrun pursed her lips and asked, "You have a solution?"
"I'm not sure yet. Xiao Zhi told me about the general situation just now, but if I want to find the point of breaking the situation, I still need to understand all the details in depth. House Master Tantai, tell me in detail." Lu Qingshan said leisurely.
Dantai Qingrun glanced at Qin Yitian and said nothing.
"She's Qin Yitian. Hmm … she's someone you can trust completely. There's no need to hide anything from her," Lu Qingshan explained, understanding Dantai Qingrun's meaning.
Dantai Qingrun's face darkened. She did not raise any objections after hearing Lu Qingshan's explanation. She softly explained the predicament they were facing.
.....
For nearly a hundred years, the Spiritual Ruins Tower seemed to have been led by the nose by the Hades in the battle against the Hades. They suffered many setbacks and suffered heavy losses. The situation was very bad.
The Zhishou Tower's Qingzhou Tower had tried many times to change the Spiritual Ruins Tower's situation. But in the past hundred years, there had been a lot of trouble. They could not get away from it, so the matter was put on hold.
Until River Suppression City was almost destroyed by the Corpse Puppets caused by the Hades.
Under such circumstances, most of the River Suppression Tower's cultivators were punished for their negligence. The Tower Lord, Chu He, was even removed from his post and transferred back to the Qingzhou Tower.
But there were a few people in River Suppression Tower who were not only exempted from punishment, but were also rewarded handsomely by the Zhishou Tower.
Dantai Qingrun was one of these people.
When she was the Tower Lord of Origin Mountain City, she purged the Hades's forces. Her achievements were outstanding, and she was promoted to the position of Deputy Tower Lord of River Suppression Tower.
She had only been in River Suppression Tower for less than a month and was still familiarizing herself with the environment.
The destruction of River Suppression City was clearly due to the negligence of the previous leaders. It had nothing to do with her, who had just taken up the position.
Not to mention, if it wasn't for Tantai Qingrun discovering the traces of the Underworld cultivators hiding in Zhenjiang City and decisively launching an attack, and sending a request for help to the Qing Province Main Building in advance, the losses in Zhenjiang City this time would probably be much heavier.
Therefore, in a situation where not only was there no fault, but there was also merit, the cultivators of the Qingzhou Tower considered the problem of the Spiritual Ruins Tower and simply transferred Dantai Qingrun to the Spiritual Ruins Residence.
If Dantai Qingrun could still make a real contribution this time and sweep away the years of decline of the Spiritual Ruins Tower, she would definitely be put in an important position by the Zhishou Tower.
Dantai Qingrun was naturally not afraid of challenges, so she obeyed the order and came to the Spiritual Ruins Residence.
But she did not expect the situation of the Spiritual Ruins Tower to be so terrible. They had not even officially fought with the Hades, but they were already troubled by their own teammates.
"The Spiritual Ruins Tower's decline over the years was not only due to the superior methods of the Hades, but also due to the inaction of the senior cultivators of the Spiritual Ruins Tower!" Dantai Qingrun scolded coldly, "The senior cultivators of the Spiritual Ruins Tower only think about how to protect their own interests. Eradicating the Hades was their second priority, or even lower."
"In that case, the Spiritual Ruins Tower's Master is not biased towards Yi Yuan as Xiao Zhi said." From Dantai Qingrun's explanation, Lu Qingshan had a clear understanding of the situation of the Spiritual Ruins Tower. He calculated, "The bigger reason is just that they share common interests.
The reason is simple. They have been mediocre for so many years. If you come and make a contribution that they have not made in a hundred years, not only will it prove your outstanding ability, it will also show how incompetent the cultivators of the Spiritual Ruins Tower are.
At that time, Yi Yuan will not be the only unlucky one. "
Dantai Qingrun was silent. She gritted her teeth and said, "On the surface, these people do not oppose me at all. They seem to do everything as I say, but in reality, they are only obeying on the surface but opposing on the inside. They are not doing anything right.
The Spiritual Ruins Tower's Master is a sly old fox. He says he will fully cooperate with me, but in reality, he has been practicing Taiji.
I wanted to look through the information collected and organized by the Spirit Ruins Tower over the past hundred years, but all I could find was superficial information.
The real core information must be hidden by them. "
Lu Qingshan frowned.
The senior cultivators of the Spiritual Ruins Tower may be mediocre in their duties, but they are very good at these little tricks.
On the surface, they are obedient to Dantai Qingrun, but in reality, they are not doing anything.
This way of dealing with things made it impossible for Dantai Qingrun to report to the Tower even if she wanted to.
"The mouth of information has been strangled. It is indeed difficult." Lu Qingshan murmured.
Even in a one-on-one battle to the death, those who know the opponent's methods will have a much higher chance of winning. Not to mention, in a confrontation between two organizations, the importance of information is a hundred times greater.
Seeing Lu Qingshan frown and fall into deep thought, Dantai Qingrun added, "The Dantai Clan has a certain amount of power in the Spiritual Ruins Prefecture.
So I have used the clan's power to investigate the situation in the Spiritual Ruins Tower. On the surface, the senior cultivators of the Spiritual Ruins Tower are at odds with the Hades. That Yi Yuan even almost died in an operation to encircle and annihilate the Hades. So the possibility of the senior cultivators of the Spiritual Ruins Tower colluding with the Hades is relatively low.
Since the possibility of them colluding with each other is not high, I suspect that the Netherworld is in cahoots with one of the major powers in the Spiritual Ruins Mansion since the Netherworld, a shady force, has been able to win so many times in the battle with the Netherworld. "
"Smart." Lu Qingshan praised. He snapped out of his deep thoughts, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
