Chapter 607: Chapter 417 Qi Fortune Arrives! (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch support from Haha I’m Here Too)_3

As for the matter of encouraging Wu Zongxian to seek his own death, only Heaven, Earth, and he himself knew about it.

Although the Sect was destroyed, it wasn’t without hope of rebuilding. He was well aware that Xiao Qingmu had many treasures and Primordial Crystals in her possession, all of which were the foundation of the Sect.

As long as he obtained these items, his Cultivation would surely skyrocket, and the Core Realm was definitely not his end goal.

Xiao Qingmu had also begun to gradually respond to him, boosting his confidence and making him feel that the beauty was soon to be within his grasp.

Unfortunately, Xiao Qingmu hadn’t fully fallen for him yet, only telling him that she wasn’t in the mood for love and romance at the moment, and if he truly liked her, they should make it official on the next Qi Xi festival!

Now, Zhao Deren was greatly looking forward to the coming Qi Xi festival!

He had considered forcing the issue, but after some thought, he decided against it; Xiao Yusheng surely hadn’t left Xiao Qingmu without any defenses. She certainly still had Dan Talismans and even Divine Talismans in her hands!

This was something that had already been proven. It was precisely by relying on the explosive power of the Dan Talismans several times that they had managed to escape repeated assassination attempts. The only thing that irked him,

was that Xiao Qingmu was unwilling to give him even a single Dan Talisman for protection.

Yet he was preparing to capture her trust, and so he couldn’t show any other displeasure.

He was quite certain that he had portrayed himself very well.

As soon as his two trusted disciples who had sought refuge with him opened their mouths, the rest of the disciples, even if they had other thoughts, did not dare to reveal them at this moment, and instead echoed agreements.

It was as if Zhao Deren had already become the new Sect Master of Qingyun Sword Sect.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and a frown crossed Zhao Deren’s brow, accompanied by some worry. Xiao Qingmu was key to his rise to power and nothing could go wrong.

He also wondered if what she had said was true…

Before she left the other day, Xiao Qingmu had revealed something to him. Her departure was actually an attempt to contact a person of high status in Shangjing City through some methods left from the past.

Only such a person could completely dispel the vengeful assassination attempts. As for who it was, Xiao Qingmu didn’t elaborate, but Zhao Deren had some guesses in his heart.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t be certain, and now all he could do was wait here.

Initially, there seemed to be no issue. Ever since they had entered Central State, the frequency of assassination attempts had been very low, greatly reducing the danger.

However, Xiao Qingmu was still very cautious; before departing, she even disguised herself as a man, as if someone was spying on them…

Before Xiao Qingmu left, she had said that within three days, whether things worked out or not, she would return to meet up with them, insisting they must not leave this place.

To wait right here for her…

But as the three-day deadline approached and she had not returned, he couldn’t help but feel a trace of unease. Could it be that something unexpected had happened to Junior Sister Xiao?

Logically speaking, that shouldn’t be the case. Central State was not Qingzhou, and those people’s reach should not be so far. Moreover, Xiao Qingmu was not powerless.

The methods she could unleash were definitely far beyond Reach Profound.

As Zhao Deren’s thoughts became chaotic, the disciples of Qingyun Sword Sect seemed to have also noticed his distraction. The hearts that had been pacified before were once again becoming anxious.

“Brother Zhao, what exactly did Junior Sister Xiao go to do?”

“Yes, wasn’t it agreed that she would return in three days?”

“There hasn’t been an accident with Junior Sister Xiao, has there?”

“Could it be that Junior Sister Xiao has abandoned us?”

A flurry of voices rose, and Zhao Deren’s heart stirred, especially upon hearing the words “Could it be that Junior Sister Xiao has abandoned us?” A sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

However, he also knew that he couldn’t panic now, or else when Xiao Qingmu returned and saw that he couldn’t even manage these junior disciples, wouldn’t she be utterly disappointed in him?

Immediately, he said gravely:

“Don’t entertain wild thoughts; Sister Xiao wouldn’t abandon us and flee alone. If that were true, she wouldn’t have secretly brought us down the mountain in the first place.

You must have faith in Sister Xiao. She is the daughter of the Sect Master, and her lifelong obsession is to rebuild the Qingyun Sword Sect. How could she live on in ignominy? Without even this much determination,

how could she ever cultivate to the pinnacle of the Martial Arts?”

“Martial Artists must have the confidence to fear nothing, even if the road ahead is full of hardship; they must cut through all obstacles. With the methods left by the Sect Master in Sister Xiao’s hands, nothing will go wrong; perhaps there is only a delay.”

“Yes, Brother Zhao is right.”

“We must have confidence in Brother Zhao and Sister Xiao. Under their leadership, we will rebuild the Sect!”

The two disciples who had spoken earlier immediately echoed these sentiments.

The other disciples glanced at each other and said no more, most being of the Gang Condensation cultivation, they did not dare to contradict Zhao Deren. At worst, they could just wait a little longer…

The sky grew ever darker, with black clouds obscuring the moonlight and gusts of cold wind howling. Within miles around, only their dilapidated temple had a glimmer of light.

From afar, it resembled a lighthouse.

A few disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect were roasting wild rabbits, listlessly turning them over. Zhao Deren leaned against a nearby pillar, eyes closed, seemingly deep in thought.

“Shh, shh…”

Amidst the howling wind, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly entered the temple, and the vigilant disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect instantly turned their gaze toward the entrance.

Someone whispered:

“Is that Sister Xiao returning?”

“It must be.”

“Sister Xiao is finally back!”

Relief appeared on the faces of several disciples.

But only on Zhao Deren’s face, there flashed a grave expression. The aura of the person approaching was starkly different from Sister Xiao’s. He immediately said in a cold tone:

“Whoever is outside is not Sister Xiao. Be on guard!”

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect were initially startled, then quickly stood up, placing one hand on the hilt of their swords, ready for action.

They watched the entrance with vigilant eyes.

In the darkness, a figure slowly approached, its eyes filled with two flickering shades of Qing.

“Who goes there!”

Zhao Deren’s gaze turned icy as he drew his sword and shouted fiercely.
