The touch felt good; it would be even better if he could feel the dragon horns once they grew out.

Su He shook his head, “Master, as heaven and earth can see, can’t I really talk about it?”

Elder Ge laughed, “What did you see?

Does it have something to do with the intention you left in that golden pagoda you gave me?”

Su He nodded.

Elder Ge sighed, suddenly looking a bit aged, “You don’t need to say it; the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed.

Speaking them out loud is not good for either of us.

But rest assured, we old fellows have noticed it too.”

What the Sect Leader is planning, he seemed to guess, but it was an incomplete glimpse, without knowing the full picture.

Maybe it’s time to have a talk with the Sect Leader.

Su He blinked, “Hmm?”

Elder Ge gave him a glance and scolded with a smile, “My eyes aren’t blind!

Today’s battle with Chi Yang, although that young man’s strikes were painful, he had no intent to kill.

Moreover—”

He pointed in the direction of Beast Valley, “After the chaos of the day, did you notice?

Qingyuan Gate has almost no losses!”

???

Su He looked at the damaged Tinghai Lake beside him, the shattered Sky-Filling Gold Pagoda above his head, the collapsed Law Enforcement Hall in the distance, and the just-repaired Mountain Protection Array.

Is this what you call no loss?

Elder Ge chuckled, “Don’t look at those things; look at the people!

Mountains can be rebuilt if they collapse; formations can be repaired if they break; money can be earned again.

As long as the people are still here, that’s not a loss!”

His expression turned serious, “Turtle Kid, remember, you can lose a dao ground, you can lose face, everything can be lost, as long as you’re alive, none of it matters!”

Elder Ge was serious; Dragon Turtles are Divine God Beasts, and all Divine God Beasts have a bad habit.

Before they are capable of standing on their own, they have an unrealistic self-respect, and the pursuit of face even exceeds that of life itself.

He took the opportunity to educate Su He, “To live is to have everything; the rest is just external possessions.” He paused, his mouth moved slightly, and his voice dropped an octave, “You can’t lose a woman either; if you lose her, she can’t be found again.”

Su He: ???

Elder Ge paused for a moment, shaking his head and laughing, “Qingyuan Disciples have been injured but not seriously!

Now look at the East Cloud Sects; they followed the No-Phase Sword Sect in the attack.

The No-Phase Sword Sect snatched several gold pagodas from the Old Demon of Town Prison and retreated neatly.

But the East Cloud Sects couldn’t escape, and the majority were locked inside gold pagodas one by one, isn’t that strange?”

Qingyuan Prison might be broken, but the Prison Ghost is still under control.

The golden pagodas of the big array above aren’t just for show.

Moreover, Qingyuan itself has golden pagodas for protection, yet the Prison Ghost drifted toward East Cloud Mountain; the East Cloud Sects don’t have True Yuan gold towers!

So who really suffered losses?

Moreover, the Old Demon that the No-Phase Sword Sect took away—Elder Ge was not entirely sure about the others, but Peng Nanny from the Heavenly Extinguishing Sect was personally slain by him four hundred years ago!

Back then, he too wanted to capture her and throw her into Town Prison to suppress the Prison Ghost, but Peng Nanny was only a bit less skilled than him, very hard to capture alive, so he had to kill her in battle.

Today, another Peng Nanny escaped with Chi Yang.

And— even if Peng Nanny had somehow survived back then, after four hundred years of suppression in Town Prison, how much of her True Yuan would have been sucked away?

How could she still possess several levels’ strength of Demonic Transformation?

Just— he glanced in the direction of the Palace of Longevity, with the Mountain Protection Array fully activated, and the Palace of Longevity nowhere in sight.

The Sect Leader doesn’t think that what’s evident to an old Dao like me couldn’t be figured out by Xuan Tian Gate, does he?

On the Watch Sky Terrace outside the Palace of Longevity, Feng Yi Ju stood with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of Tinghai Lake.

Normally, he hardly ever set his gaze here, but in this past year, he’s been watching frequently.

The Scholar stood behind him.

“Sect Leader senior brother, the Dragon Turtle didn’t leave.”

When he said these words, there was also a hint of lightness in his tone.

Feng Yi Ju nodded, “Elder Uncle Qiao is right.” The benefits Xuan Tian Gate can offer may be greater, but Qingyuan Gate has the bond with the Dragon Turtle.

The first time Qingyuan faced peril, he did not leave; after experiencing more hardships, if another great danger arose, naturally, he would not leave either.

Feelings are fostered through repeated brushes with life and death together.

This time, he was quite satisfied with the Dragon Turtle; it hadn’t developed those annoying habits of divine beasts.

When its abilities were still modest, it was no less tenacious, daring to charge at any foe, regardless of who the enemy was.

Are Divine God Beasts with true divine bloodlines really so rare that they’re almost unseen in this world?

No, it’s just that ninety-nine percent die on the path toward becoming a Divine God Beast.

The Dragon Turtle knew to find a place to hide and not trouble others.

Transforming into a Dragon Turtle, the chances could at least be increased by ten percent.

The Scholar was silent for a while before saying, “The Dragon Turtle seems to have perceived something.

The elder uncles have also noticed.”

Feng Yi Ju’s eyes shone with a sharp light, and he chuckled, “After all, we have come through such times.

If we didn’t notice anything, wouldn’t it seem that the Qingyuan elders are incompetent?”

If you have designed a plan, don’t fear being discovered!

The Scholar shook his head with a bitter smile, wanting to say something, but what reached his lips changed, “Sect Leader senior brother, what should we do next?”

Feng Yi Ju shook his head, “There’s no plan, just keep moving toward the established goals.”

Goals?

The Scholar was stupefied.

“To eliminate the East Cloud Sects, to eradicate the Prison Ghosts?”

Feng Yi Ju looked at the Prison Ghost floating above Qingyuan, his expression one of disgust.

With the Prison Ghost present, Qingyuan Gate was like a thorn in the flesh, at risk of being bitten at any moment.

Xuan Tian Gate could always stand high above because Qingyuan Gate was sitting on a volcano’s mouth, which could ignite at any time.

With a Prison Ghost underfoot and surrounded by East Cloud wolves, a territory spanning thousands of miles was Qingyuan Gate’s limit, and the strongest of East Cloud marked the end point.

Erasing the Prison Ghost and uprooting all the East Cloud Sects completely, only then might Qingyuan have a chance to go even further.

Qingyuan Gate is now besieged by the Prison Ghost, while the East Cloud Sects have welcomed back dozens of Devil Heads whose cultivation is not low, but who have been suppressed for dozens or even hundreds of years, and have gone mad.

It should be stirring up trouble now, right?

The Scholar frowned, “But Sect Leader senior brother, Xuan Tian Gate is not just for show.

They won’t allow East Cloud to fall into complete chaos, nor will they allow Qingyuan to unify East Cloud.”

Feng Yi Ju looked towards the east.

Even from Qingyuan Mountain, even through the Mountain Protection Array, even at night, even not knowing how many millions of miles away, he could still see the dazzling golden light on Tian Pillar Mountain of Xuan Tian Gate, shining like the proud sun.

Feng Yi Ju chuckled, “Then let’s keep Xuan Tian Gate too busy to look west!”

The Scholar’s head snapped up, looking at Feng Yi Ju in disbelief.

The senior brother truly had other plans and contingencies!

Out beyond Qingyuan Mountain to the east was the boundary of the East Cloud Mountain Range.

Qiu Hu had left East Cloud Mountain early and was now above the Nine Heavens, beneath his feet was a Flying Boat.

Below the Flying Boat was a river that glittered like stars.

The Flying Boat raced along the river at such speed that left others trailing in its wake.

This was the Flowing Light River, the basis of the Undefined Clan’s fame across realms.

The Undefined Clan could build the Flowing Light River, connecting two places that were extremely far apart.

Otherwise, traveling from Xuan Tian Gate to East Cloud Mountain by sword flight alone would likely take half a year.

With the Flowing Light River and the Flying Boat, a mere two days would suffice.

All major worlds are also connected by Flowing Light Rivers, of course, those connecting the great worlds are much more magnificent.

Inside Xuan Tian Gate there is one, allowing direct access to dozens of great worlds.

Qiu Hu didn’t dare to delay for a moment.

He did not know what had happened in Qingyuan Mountain, nor did he need to know.

As long as he could return to Xuan Tian Gate at top speed and report everything he saw without omission, that was all that mattered.

The rest was not his mission.
