#82 - Brothers are close to you, why are you playing tricks on them?

Saint Yao Imperial Territory.

The Saint Yao Empress sat regally in the back garden.

"This Xu Fengqiu not only has talent but also possesses strategies, heaven-defying methods, and a bit of a devilish genius. He might actually help this Empress stabilize the situation."

The Saint Yao Empress pondered to herself.

Speaking of which, she was indeed somewhat helpless.

She had put in a lot of effort to conquer the Saint Yao Imperial family and ascend to the throne.

But after all, she was just a woman, coupled with an unstable foundation.

Although the imperial family was strong, she had never been able to truly control all the imperial family's experts.

Her power was weak.

Over the years, she had tried many things.

The effects were certainly there.

But, when the real war came, how many forces within the Saint Yao Empire would come to her aid?

Probably not many.

After all, everyone would weigh the situation.

It wasn't that she particularly liked power.

It's just that there were some things she had to do.

Some wishes that had to be fulfilled.

Some grudges that had to be avenged.

Then she must have power in her hands to do it.

Lin Qingzhu walked over.

"Qingzhu greets Her Majesty the Empress."

The Saint Yao Empress nodded: "Yes, you're back. Were you wronged in the Xu family?"

Lin Qingzhu shook her head: "Qingzhu was not wronged. The Xu family is very good to Qingzhu, and so is Young Master Xu. Little Li is very beautiful, especially good. Sometimes I can chat with Little Li all day long."

"Well, that's good. How is the matter of entering the Dao?"

"Last night, I vaguely entered the Dao for the second time, but I still failed."

The Saint Yao Empress nodded: "It's a good thing to have such a phenomenon, it's only a matter of time. Why did you come back?"

Lin Qingzhu showed an embarrassed expression.

"Qingzhu… because of some misunderstandings, I guess."

She roughly explained.

"That is a matter between your father and Xu Tianyi. As for you and Xu Fengqiu, it is not impossible."

Lin Qingzhu bit her red lips.

The Saint Yao Empress stood up and said as she walked: "This Empress hopes to cultivate you into the next generation of Saint Yao Empire Empress. You are kind by nature. If you become the Empress, it will definitely be the luck of the Saint Yao Empire's people."

Lin Qingzhu followed the Saint Yao Empress.

"But you won't engage in intrigue, you don't have clever ideas, and you lack decisiveness and ruthlessness. Xu Fengqiu can perfectly complement you."

Lin Qingzhu: "This disciple only hopes to follow Her Majesty the Empress to learn and cultivate, and that Her Majesty the Empress can always sit on this throne."

The Saint Yao Empress stopped: "If this Empress can complete the obsession in my heart, I will not sit on this throne. It is better to find a place with beautiful scenery, concentrate on cultivation, and live in seclusion in the world."

Then she looked at Lin Qingzhu: "But there is no need to consider this matter for the time being. It is not yet known whether this Saint Yao Empire can remain in this Empress's hands."

The Saint Yao Empress would tell Lin Qingzhu some secrets.

Because she needed to let Lin Qingzhu know the intrigues and complexities of the imperial family.

In case she ascends the throne in the future, it would be good to familiarize herself in advance.

"Young Master Xu might have a way."

The Saint Yao Empress said: "Therefore, this Empress's original intention is to have a good relationship with Xu Fengqiu. Not to mention whether he will help in the future, at least there is a chance to talk about it, and the only connection between this Empress and him is you. However, you don't have to be deliberate, and you don't have to feel burdened, let it be."

"This disciple obeys."

The Saint Yao Empress nodded: "The rise of this Xu family is unstoppable. Xu Fengqiu's three battles have made the Xu family famous. In just one month, a large number of rogue cultivators from all over the world have joined the Xu family's forces."

Lin Qingzhu said: "This is also where Young Master Xu is so powerful. Three heaven-defying battles have made the major forces, even those stronger than the Xu family, dare not act rashly against the Xu family, and even stay away in awe, not daring to provoke them."

"Well, this month, the Xu family has seized the opportunity to grow rapidly, forming alliances and seizing spiritual veins. I heard that the Nine Heavens Medicine God Mountain has just discovered a huge spiritual vein in the Eighth Heaven, and it was snatched by the Xu family."

There are a large number of Yuan Spirit Crystals in the spiritual veins.

Yuan Spirit Crystals are the most commonly used way for warriors to improve their realm.

They can be absorbed and refined.

Lin Qingzhu nodded.

"This Xu Fengqiu is really interesting."

… …

Nine Heavens.

Medicine God Mountain.

Inside the main hall.

Sect Master Li Baishan and others looked very bad!

Peng — —

An old man slapped the table.

"Is this Xu family too presumptuous? The spiritual vein that my Medicine God Mountain discovered in the Eighth Heaven has just been mined, and it was intercepted by his Xu family! Bastard!"

"This is a rare Heavenly Grade spiritual vein, stretching for thirty miles. This spiritual vein is enough for my Medicine God Mountain to use for several years."

"This Xu family has seized the Misty Peak, the Medicine Emperor Sect, and the Gu family's millennia and millennia of heritage, plus their own. This heritage is unimaginable. Are they still not satisfied?"

"This is simply not taking my Medicine God Mountain seriously! Yes, we did show weakness to them before, but we can't bully people like this!"

"… …"

Everyone was emotional.

Li Baishan was also so angry that he was about to die.

Under normal circumstances, who would dare?

Even if they dared, they would directly send troops to destroy them.

But the problem is, this is the Xu family.

A force that, on paper, they know is not as strong as their Medicine God Mountain.

But even if the ancestor proves the Dao to the Supreme Immortal Emperor, they are still not too dare to take the initiative to mess with them.

Moreover, everyone is just complaining, and no one has really mentioned going to destroy the Xu family.

"Can't we just ignore this matter? What do you all think?" Li Baishan asked.

An old man said: "It is unwise to attack his Xu family, the risk is too great, but if my Medicine God Mountain does not speak out about this matter, the world will think we are easy to bully!"

"In this old man's opinion, Sect Master, why not take people to the Xu family to talk about this matter? I think they are currently in the rising stage, and they should also hope for stability and not want to tear face with my Medicine God Mountain."

"Yes! Sect Master, take people to the Xu family to talk about this matter. First, the world will see the attitude of my Medicine God Mountain, and second, the Xu family will most likely hand over the spiritual vein. In this way, my Medicine God Mountain's face will also be recovered."

"Yes, yes, yes! Sect Master, this move can be tried! It's really presumptuous, not taking my Medicine God Mountain seriously."

"… …"

Hearing these people's words, Li Baishan trembled all over.

No…

Damn it!

What do these people mean?

Do you want me to die?

Are you all pretending not to see the precedent of this Gu Fangzhou?

This Xu family, they are a bunch of rascals!

They don't even want face!

Are you really not afraid that I will take people to the Xu family and end up like Gu Fangzhou?

Others wouldn't dare, but this Xu Fengqiu really dares to do this kind of thing!

"Well, good idea, Great Elder, you take people there. As for the Xu family, this Sect Master doesn't need to go in person, it would be a loss of face," Li Baishan said lightly.

The Great Elder trembled all over!

Damn it!

He takes people there?

"Sect Master, this old man is the Great Elder, going to the Xu family is also condescending. Why don't… Second Elder, you take people there?"

Second Elder: ? ? ?

Brother, I'm with you heart-to-heart, and you're playing tricks on me?

Second Elder: "Ahem, my Second Elder's status is not low either, going to the Xu family is also condescending. What does the Third Elder think?"

Third Elder: ? ? ?

"This old man's eighteenth concubine will be giving birth in the next few days, I'm afraid I can't spare the time. What about the Fourth Elder?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the Fourth Elder again.

Fourth Elder: "Unfortunately, this old man just asked the elders for this year's annual leave yesterday, planning to go back to his hometown to see the younger generation. What about the Holy Son? The Holy Son going to the Xu family is slightly condescending, but just right."

"Ah?"

Li Mufeng looked dumbfounded.

"Or… or I think let's forget it. A Heavenly Grade spiritual vein is not important to my Medicine God Mountain. Let's just give it to them as a reward for a group of beggars. What do you all think?"

"Well… there's also some truth to that, let's just feed it to the dogs."

Li Baishan looked at everyone: "Well, do you all think so?"

"Yes!"

"Alright, then let's just reward it to them, let's disperse."

… …

Northern Underworld Empire.

Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

After a month, the Gu family has gained a firm foothold in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

This peak of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect can accommodate tens of thousands of disciples.

Although all the experts of their Gu family are staying here, it is a loss of face.

But there is no way.

Let's do this for now.

This month, they followed the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to destroy the Heavenly Flame Sect.

But Gu Changsheng was very unhappy when he saw the smug look of those people in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect after the victory.

Yes!

They have indeed become attached to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

But isn't this using their Gu family experts as guns?

It is indeed reasonable for their Gu family to help, but Gu Changsheng is just unhappy.

His mother is from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

But she fell early.

In fact, it's not certain how deep this friendship is.

"I, Gu Changsheng, must rise again. Although the Gu family experts are still strong now, with three Immortal Emperors at the eighth level, after all, the foundation is no longer there, and it is difficult to rise again, unless…"

Gu Changsheng's eyes flashed with sinister intent: "Unless I turn the Ten Thousand Swords Sect into my Gu family's."

"But I, Gu Changsheng, must also rise!

He looked at a black pattern on his wrist.

"Is it finally going to be like this?"

Gu Changsheng gritted his teeth: "I, Gu Changsheng, must kill him, Xu Fengqiu. There is no turning back!"

Then, Gu Changsheng sacrificed a drop of essence blood and pressed it on the pattern on his wrist.

In an instant, black light shone brightly.
