Chapter 949: Chapter 28: Liang Qiuyu_4 Chapter 949: Chapter 28: Liang Qiuyu_4 However, Shen Fuâs face, which was originally expressionless, suddenly revealed âjoyâ, âexcitementâ, and âanticipationâ, so overjoyed that he was even a bit beside himself:
âMaster!â
Liang Qiuyu nodded slightly but firmly said:
âHere, there are no master and disciple, only the Ninth Holy Child and Liang Qiuyu.
I have heard that you went out with three other Holy Children and that, unfortunately, the three Holy Children perished in battle, but you were unharmed.
This inevitably raises suspicions.
Tell the truth, and if there is any concealment, I will ask Elder Qin to witness and personally execute you!â
Shen Fu was startled and then looked astonished and aggrieved:
âMaster, everything I said is true!â
Meanwhile, the cultivators of Yan State and some of the cultivators from the original Demonic Sect also looked at Liang Qiuyu in amazement.
It seemed they did not expect Elder Liang Qiu, the great elder, to treat his own disciple so harshly.
Elder Qin quickly said:
âGreat elder, my nephew has already told me about this, the matter is unrelated to him.
Moreover, the subsequent attack by those Evil gods from the Kingdom of Immortals on me also proved my nephewâs words were true.

This is a premeditated plot from the Kingdom of Immortals against us!â
Liang Qiuyu, however, shook his head slightly:
âI think there is more to the story.
Perhaps it was Jin that tampered with things, misleading both the Kingdom of Immortals and us.â
Shen Fu was taken aback.
âJin?â
Elder Qinâs expression changed as well, and soon a thought struck him, and he perceived the hidden meaning in Liang Qiuyuâs tone.
His reaction was very swift:
âThat is also possible.
Great elder, let us return first, and after we welcome you and clean off the road dust, I will report to you.â
Liang Qiuyu, however, gestured with his hand:
âThere is no need for a welcome ceremony; the Evil gods of the Kingdom of Immortals are waiting at the border between Lao Country and Yan State.
Let us immediately return to discuss.â
Elder Qin nodded in agreement right away.
Soon, a group of people escorted Elder Liang Qiu and Qin Ya into the residence.
But the real decision-makers here were only Liang Qiu and Qin Ya.
So it was that very soon, only the two of them, along with Shen FuââŹâthe Holy ChildââŹâwere alone in the main hall of the residence.
Liang Qiuyu looked at Qin Ya and got straight to the point:
âThis time, whether the Kingdom of Immortals intends to take action against us or not, we must blame it all on Jin!â
Shen Fu, by his side, couldnât hide his surprise.
And hearing this, although Elder Qin had already guessed as much during their earlier exchange, his face still involuntarily revealed a look of astonishment and reluctance:
âSo weâre not going to fight the Kingdom of Immortals?â
Liang Qiuyu shook his head firmly and then explained:
âOur strategy towards the Kingdom of Immortals was decided from the start: allow them to swallow Wu, Qi, Chu, untilâŚ
Jin!â
âOnce they encounter us now, it would only disrupt Elder Hanâs plans.â
âButâŚâ
Elder Qin was somewhat frustrated: âWeâre just going to let it slide that they ambushed us?â
âLet it slide!â
Liang Qiuyu appeared like a seasoned scholar, but his speech was decisive, he said sternly:
âThe thoughts of these Evil gods are sometimes different from ours, so there is no need to care about face.
Dismiss them as soon as possible, let them digest and assimilate Qiâs gains quickly, and then move on to take down Chu.â
After thinking, he softened his tone a bit:
âI know you feel aggrieved for being ambushed by them, but the signs of the degeneration of this world are becoming more and more evident, and we canât afford the delay.
Elder Hanâs awakening is imminent, and his plan is crucial to whether our Sect can be preserved, so why should we care about some minor humiliations?â
Elder Qin hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded: âI understand, great elder.
I will follow your lead.â
Liang Qiuyu nodded:
âGood, thatâs settled then.
How many from the Kingdom of Immortals have come this time?â
Elder Qin hastily replied: âThree first level direct gods and twelve second level Subordinate Gods.â
Liang Qiuyu frowned slightly:
âTheir Divine Master hasnât come?â
âHe didnât come; he probably didnât dare to, given the lesson learned from those before him,â
Elder Qin shook his head.
âOkay, I will trouble Elder Qin to make some preparations.
I will go and meet them in person shortly!â
âYes!â
Elder Qin didnât delay and quickly left the great hall.
At that time, Liang Qiuyu turned his head to look at Shen Fu, a trace of apology on his face:
âShen Fu, just now, in order to divert everyoneâs attention, I purposely blamed you.
Youâre not angry with me, are you?â
Shen Fuâs face showed a slight astonishment, but soon a âsurprisedâ joy appeared, and he eagerly stepped forward, saying:
âMaster, so you never suspected me!â
âYou are my disciple; I would suspect anyone but you.â
Liang Qiuyu said with a light chuckle, shaking his head.
For a moment, the atmosphere between master and disciple was warm and harmonious.
âYou have been away for a while, let me see if your cultivation has regressed.
If it has, your master will need to punish you well,â
Liang Qiuyu said with a smile.
Shen Fu revealed a pleased expression and immediately called upon his mana, displaying his cultivation base.
Seeing the steady aura rising from Shen Fu, a flash of light crossed Liang Qiuyuâs eyes, and his smile became even more brilliant:
âLate-stage Golden CoreâŚ
Not bad, you have progressed quickly, but donât become complacent.
Our Holy Sectâs cultivation method may be fast, but one still needs to be steady and sure, without any negligence.â
âYes, Master, I understand!â
Shen Fu responded loudly, like a simple young cultivator.
âGood, you continue your cultivation, Iâm off to meet those Evil Gods from the Kingdom of Immortals,â
Liang Qiuyu nodded in satisfaction, then left the great hall.
âŚ
Thousands of miles to the south of the capital of Qi State.
Yao Wudi was holding the Black Bear God by the neck while staring at the dense crowd stepping into the Teleportation Array, frowning, he said:
âYou donât think Iâm a fool, do you?
If I set foot in Yujiang City, would I still have a life to come back with?â
âI think you donât want to live anymore!â
The Black Bear Godâs face was instantly filled with panic:
âNo!â
âThis Teleportation Array leads to the âHuman Sacrifice Rouletteâ.
All the people recently captured will be concentrated there before being sent off to various divine templesâŚ
That place is still far from Yujiang City!â
âReally?â
Yao Wudi was somewhat incredulous.
âReally!
Really!â
The Black Bear God said loudly.
Yao Wudi thought for a moment, patted the Black Bear Godâs head, and threateningly said:
âRest assured, even if I do fall into a trap, I have the confidence to utterly destroy you!
You can try and see!â
The more panicked Black Bear God, although appearing somewhat dull-witted, still showed a resolute expression on his face.
Seeing this, Yao Wudi said no more and suddenly stretched out his hand toward those below.
He directly grabbed everyone in front of the Teleportation Array, and immediately a Divine Pattern transformed into a cage, trapping them all.
The Incense-burning Dao Cultivators were all knocked unconscious in the process.
Then, under the guidance of the Black Bear God, he activated the Teleportation Array.
The next moment.
Yao Wudiâs figure appeared in an unfamiliar Teleportation Array.
But when he saw the scene before him, he was momentarily stupefied.
