Xuanzhen said indifferently, "The path I cultivate is the same for guiding both humans and ghosts!"
"..."
Yang Zhenshan was completely speechless.
Guiding both humans and ghosts is the same, meaning itâs fine to guide someone after they become a ghost!
"Letâs wait and see. If the Three Sects of Lingshou are unwilling to show themselves, I canât be bothered to meddle!"
Xuanzhen was quite right. Even if the Three Sects of Lingshou were destroyed, the Spirit Origin wouldnât suffer much loss. At most, it would just retreat for a while and re-emerge once Zhang Mo leaves.
Although this would affect the development of the Spirit Origin, faced with a formidable enemy like Zhang Mo, Yang Zhenshan seemed to have no other choice.
If one cannot afford to provoke, then hide. Once the storm passes, emerge again to develop. By then, this world might become even more expansive.
The Hidden Sword Mountain is unwilling to collaborate with the Three Sects of Lingshou, and the Three Sects of Lingshou donât want to meddle in the affairs of the Qingli Dynasty. For now, the six families of Qingli seem even more desolate and somewhat isolated.
However, Lin Qihe has not yet returned from the White Cloud Immortal City, and Zhang Mo is also waiting for the response from the White Cloud Immortal City. This places the Qingli Dynasty, which just faced a major disaster, in a strangely peaceful state.
Days went by, until three months later, a massive Flying Boat arrived from the east, landing in the Lotus Heart Valley.
...
At the bottom of Cangya Gorge.
Zhang Moâs face appeared somewhat grim.
In the end, the White Cloud Immortal City still intervened, which was beyond his expectations.
According to his calculations, the White Cloud Immortal City shouldnât meddle in the affairs of the Qingli Dynasty, especially since the Qingli Dynasty has never submitted to the White Cloud Immortal City.
Nominally, the Qingli Dynasty and the White Cloud Immortal City have no relationship whatsoever.
Then why would the White Cloud Immortal City stand up for a force unrelated to them?
"Why does the White Cloud Immortal City want to help the Qingli Dynasty?"
"Could it be that the Qingli Dynasty has something that the White Cloud True Monarch values?"
He couldnât quite understand, but it no longer mattered. The arrival of the Flying Boat from the White Cloud Immortal City represented their stance.
If he still wanted to continue dealing with the six families of Qingli, he would be making an enemy of the White Cloud Immortal City.
Honestly, he couldnât afford to become an enemy of the White Cloud Immortal City, not even daring to make the slightest provocative gesture.
Although the strength of the White Cloud Immortal City was nowhere near that of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, the Unpredictable Ghost Sect couldnât underestimate a Golden Core Cultivator, let alone him, who was merely a Blood Pool Steward in the Yin Ghost Department of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.
He truly couldnât afford to provoke the White Cloud Immortal City.
"Sir, are we really going to spare the Lin family?" Duan Qiankun asked.
Zhang Mo shot him a glance, "Rest assured, I will definitely fulfill what Iâve promised you!"
"With the White Cloud Immortal City stepping in, we cannot attack the Qingli Dynasty! But this doesnât mean we canât wipe out the Lin family!"
"Heh, the Lin family wonât let it rest. Even if we donât go looking for them, theyâll come looking for us, wonât they?"
Duan Qiankun was his Yin Ghost, cultivated personally by him. In fact, calling Duan Qiankun his disciple wouldnât be wrong.
Years ago, when the Lin family destroyed the Duan family, Duan Qiankun was just a youth. Zhang Mo encountered him while investigating the situation of the Qingli Dynasty, and thus took him in.
This matter had already been over a hundred years ago, and during this century, Duan Qiankun had grown to become his most important assistant.
If nothing unexpected happened, the next time he returned to the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, he would release the control of the blood jade over Duan Qiankun, integrating Duan Qiankun into the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.
He had promised Duan Qiankun to help him take revenge.
