Chapter 1725: Chapter 1725: Heart-protecting Jade
âI contacted Zhan Beiye, and he said that Xiang Qifeng owes the Liushang Sect a huge amount of money, yet he didnât pay a single tael. Now, heâs being hunted down by the remnants of the Liushang Sect, and his life is pretty miserable.â
She continued.
âLet Xiang Qiyan deal with those matters on his own, they have nothing to do with us,â Qian Jiyun didnât care about other affairs and simply focused his gaze on the piece of paper in his hand.
âAre you sure that by gathering these items, weâll be able to deal with the Evil Spirit Universe?â he asked.
âThe Stone man said so.â
An Jiuyue was utterly convinced; if it was said by the Stone man, there couldnât be any mistake, right?
âHeh, what a coincidence,â Qian Jiyun chuckled lightly.
Because one of the items on that paper was in the Feather Abyss Plane, and furthermore, it was in a place they knew â the Qingyun Sect.
âIf thatâs the case, then letâs set out for the Qingyun Sect,â he declared.
An Jiuyue shrugged her shoulders, continuing to eat her wontons. The Heart-protecting Jade was the artifact that protected the Qingyun Sect. Were they just going to show up and demand it? Wouldnât that be a bit too arrogant?
However, since Qian Jiyun believed it to be feasible, what reason did she have to object?

Inside the Qingyun Sect.
The Great Elder glared at Mo Zheng and his group with an expression as dark as ink, barely restraining himself from leaping forward to tear a few chunks of flesh from Mo Zhengâs body.
Yet, with other members of the Sect watching, he held himself back, not wanting to embarrass the Sect Master.
âMo Zheng, explain to the chief elder clearly⊠My beloved granddaughter, she went out following you. How is it that she came back, only to be a corpse?â
He slammed the table furiously and roared at Mo Zheng.
âRevered Master, Great Elder, please listen to your disciple explain slowly,â
Mo Zheng showed no fear of the Great Elder, his tone indifferent as he recounted the entire incident from start to finish, adding at the end that he had advised as best he could, but Gu Qingyu wouldnât listen to him; there was nothing he could do.
âUsing a Gu on members of the royal family of the Xiang Dynasty? And a Love Potion at that?â The Sect Master was utterly shocked after hearing this.
Had Gu Qingyu lost her mind, daring to do such a thing? Who gave her the backing to commit such an act, or did she think she reigned supreme?
âGreat Elder, look at the kind of granddaughter youâve raised, what has she done? Does she wish to bring down our entire Qingyun Sect by her own hands?â
âUh.â
The Great Elder choked for a moment, clearly not expecting the situation to be as it was.
But he couldnât admit to itâif he did, wouldnât he lose both his dignity and respect, and also face blame from the other elders?
âImpossible, Qingyu might be willful, but how could she commit such a bold act? Mo Zheng, tell the truth to the chief elder, is it because you failed to protect Qingyu, that you deliberately fabricated a story involving the Xiang Dynasty?â
He shifted all the blame onto Mo Zheng. After all, now that the person in question was dead, there could be no evidence to the contrary; no matter what Mo Zheng said, as long as he didnât confess, who could hold him accountable?
However, in his heart, he was fairly certain that Mo Zhengâs words were probably true, as Gu Qingyu had been pestering him to let her play with a Love Potion for a few days.
He had ultimately given in to his granddaughter and handed over the Love Potion.
This was a secret that no one knew about until Mo Zheng brought it up, leading him to believe Mo Zhengâs story.
âWhether itâs a deliberate fabrication involving the Xiang Dynasty or not, weâll know once the people from the Xiang Dynasty arrive,â Mo Zheng said, glancing briefly at the Great Elder with his tranquil gaze.
