Chapter 1400: Eight Great Sacred Grounds, Qingcheng Sect

The news of the Blood Clan and two individuals joining forces to attack Medicine King Valley, resulting in the crushing defeat of the alliance between Medicine King Valley and the Hushan Sect, quickly spread throughout the Eastern Martial Arts World. Everyone was extremely fearful, afraid that the Blood Clan and Werewolves would come to attack them.

As one of the Eight Holy Lands, the Qingcheng Sect’s Sect Master, Ruan Qingfeng, was shocked upon receiving the news and quickly summoned the five great elders within the sect for a supreme meeting to discuss countermeasures.

"The Blood Clan and Werewolves attacking our Eastern Martial Arts World reveals their ambitious intentions clearly. They definitely won’t stop just yet; they might continue to target other forces. We cannot be unprepared!"

Sect Master Ruan Qingfeng’s eyes swept across the five elders, and his gaze was extremely sharp. As a practitioner of swordplay, he was claimed to be the number one swordsman in the world! Every move emanated an aura of threat.

"The Blood Clan and Werewolves attacking us might trigger an Eastern and Western war. Once it starts, it will definitely result in a river of blood. Perhaps we should enclose ourselves in the mountains to avoid this crisis," Elder Ruan Qingjian suggested.

"That’s incorrect. Even if we stay out of the conflict, do you think the enemies will spare us? They might target us first, thinking we are afraid," Elder Ruan Baiyun shook his head.

"I agree with Ruan Baiyun. We must understand that Western forces are extremely greedy. Once they find an opportunity, they will plunder recklessly," said Elder Ruan Shuikong.

Ruan Qingjian fell silent for a moment and then asked, "According to what you say, should we fight with the Blood Clan and Werewolves? Although it sounds harsh, Qingcheng Sect is no match for them."

Everyone fell silent at once, unwilling to face the truth that Qingcheng Sect’s strength is inferior to the Blood Clan and Werewolves, making them not a worthy opponent.

In Medicine King Valley, Fan Pingyuan, Jiang Yizhan, Lv Chunyang, the three formidable Martial Saints joined forces and met with a disastrous defeat. How could Qingcheng Sect, which is not as strong as two Holy Lands, possibly win?

At this moment, Elder Ruan Sanxue’s eyes flashed with wisdom as she said, "It would be too hasty to make a decision now. We might as well send someone down the mountain to investigate, and once detailed information is gathered, we can make a decision."

"That’s indeed a good idea," Ruan Baiyun immediately laughed. "We can send a few young disciples. They’re not very strong, so they won’t attract attention and can definitely gather a lot of useful intel."

"I agree with this."

"I agree too."

The elders all nodded in agreement.

Sect Master Ruan Qingfeng asked, "So, who should we send?"

The elders’ eyes began to flicker. This mission to gather intel was a precious opportunity. If executed smoothly, they would receive great rewards upon returning to Qingcheng Sect, rising to prominence within the sect!

Moreover, this task doesn’t require combat; it’s just intel gathering, so the danger isn’t very high, making it a highly desirable mission.

Under each of the five elders are branches of intricate power groups, naturally full of many young talents, all wanting their disciples to go for the task.

"Sect Master, I have a very good candidate," Suddenly, while the elders were preparing to recommend their young ones, the least skilled elder, Ruan Liuli, smiled and spoke up.

At these words, the other elders were momentarily stunned. Ruan Liuli is the least powerful elder, whose influence in Qingcheng Sect is minimal. How could he possibly contest for such an important position?

Instantly, the corners of the elders’ mouths curled in a sneer. Ruan Liuli was truly overestimating himself; they prepared to watch him make a fool of himself.

"Sect Master’s son, Ruan Yunqiu, is the foremost genius of Qingcheng Sect’s younger generation, mastering a swordsmanship so extraordinary that he has already received Sect Master’s true teachings. He has reached the Great Grandmaster realm in his twenties. I think Ruan Yunqiu is the most suitable candidate for this mission," Ruan Liuli said with a smile.

The other elders were initially stunned, then suddenly felt a surge of anger. That sly old fox!

He aimed to please Ruan Qingfeng by recommending Ruan Yunqiu.

How despicable!

How could they not have thought of it?

The elders felt both regretful and annoyed, now harboring no goodwill towards Ruan Liuli.

However, Ruan Liuli remained unconcerned with the subtle hostility from the elders. He knew that as long as he had Ruan Qingfeng’s favor in the Qingcheng Sect, everything would be fine. Today, he undoubtedly grasped a precious opportunity.

Indeed!

Hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Ruan Qingfeng’s face. Nonetheless, he had to remain reserved, and he shook his head, waving his hands, "How could that be? If word gets out, people might say I’m abusing my power for personal gain, which would have negative repercussions."

The elders all rolled their eyes collectively. Was it necessary to act like this? Your smiling face says how much you want this!

However, they naturally couldn’t voice such words and merely smiled, joining in persuasion.

"Sect Master, this is not about abusing power but choosing talent without partiality. Everyone knows Yunqiu is the first among our younger generation in Qingcheng Sect. Sending him is the right choice."

"If the Sect Master really denies Yunqiu’s talent because of avoidance, I must express dissatisfaction. Doing so is not good and will cause losses to our Qingcheng Sect."

"Yes, indeed. This time, Yunqiu is the most suitable choice."

Sect Master Ruan Qingfeng chuckled, "Since all the elders insist, I have no choice. Alright, then let Yunqiu go down the mountain to gather intel."

The elders all nodded with amicable smiles.

Inside, they all cursed Ruan Liuli.

Such a good opportunity!

And it was just handed over to the Sect Master’s son.

Soon, Ruan Yunqiu received the news. As the first genius of Qingcheng Sect, training sword skills in this holy land every day, this lifestyle had long become somewhat mundane. However, Ruan Qingfeng’s demands on him were very strict, leaving no room for change.

Hearing that he could now leave the mountain for training, involving the major event of the Blood Clan, Werewolves, and Eastern Martial Arts Holy Land’s conflict, he immediately became excited.

He quickly packed some luggage and hurriedly descended the mountain, heading straight to the location of the Blood Clan and Werewolves’ battle with Medicine King Valley and the Hushan Sect.
