Chapter 299.1
Another Incident (1)
It’s a pity that the scene of a mother’s kindness and a child’s filial piety didn’t last too long, since Lin Xiaoran sent Feng Lingyu to study after a while.
Children from rich families are like this, they have to start learning all kinds of basic knowledge at a young age, and Lin Xiaoran herself also experienced it. So although Feng Lingyu was very unhappy in his heart, he still reluctantly went to his own exclusive study.
After Feng Lingyu left, Lin Xiaoran motioned Feng Lingxue to sit down, and then said, “Xue’er, I called you back this time because I have something to tell you.”
Feng Lingxue asked, “What’s the matter?”
Lin Xiaoran said solemnly, “Something happened in Ziqing Sacred Land.”
Feng Lingxue couldn’t help but open her eyes wide, “What? What happened?”
Next, Lin Xiaoran told Feng Lingxue the information she had just obtained from Qingfeng Tower.
It turned out that half a month ago, several large sects and families headed by the Chongyang Sword Sect suddenly united to attack the Ziqing Sacred Land.
Although the Ziqing Sacred Land had the Tiangang Sword Sect as a powerful ally, it was too late to ask for help from the Tiangang Sword Sect.So after a fierce battle, the Ziqing Sacred Land fell.
The Ziqing Holy Lord Tang Fei was seriously injured and disappeared.
The wife of the Holy Lord, Murong Pianpian was captured, and her life and death were uncertain.
Right now, the Ziqing Sacred Land is occupied by the sects and families led by the Chongyang Sword Sect.
The Ziqing Sacred Land’s disciples are either dead or injured, defected or fled, and they are on the verge of extinction.
The more specific situation is still unknown due to the long distance of Wuling City.
But Lin Xiaoran knew that with Feng Shao’s temperament, it was absolutely impossible to sit idly by.
Feng Shao was away some time ago and was not in Wuling City. Now he probably doesn’t know what happened in Ziqing Sacred Land. But Lin Xiaoran had guessed what Feng Shao was going to do once he learned of this news, so he wanted to make preparations in advance.
She said to Feng Lingxue, “The change in the Ziqing Sacred Land is not only related to the current situation in Beizhou but also related to the interests of our Wuling City and even Yunjian Pavilion, so we must intervene in this matter. Your honorable master hasn’t returned yet, but based on what I know about him, he would lead a team to the Ziqing Sacred Land. So, during your master’s absence, we need to take the lead in Wuling City together.”
Feng Lingxue suddenly understood, nodded, and said, “Master’s wife, no need to worry, I will definitely protect you and junior brother.”
The relationship between Ziqing Sacred Land and Wuling City has long been no secret.
As early as four years ago when Tang Fei succeeded as the Ziqing Holy Lord, Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran received special preferential treatment from Tang Fei on behalf of Wuling City.
In the next few years, Ziqing Sacred Land and Wuling City reached a number of cooperations.
Ziqing Sacred Land ordered various inventions and creations of Wuling City, making its spiritual energy even more considerable.
Thanks to the spirit gatherer releasing concentrated spiritual energy, the Ziqing Sacred Land has developed rapidly in recent years, and the progress of disciples has also been fast.
In addition, the Ziqing Sacred Land also became the agent of Wuling City in Beizhou, opened up business routes for Wuling City, and made a lot of money. For a while, Ziqing Sacred Land seemed to have become the richest sect in Beizhou, which aroused the covetousness of countless forces.
Originally, Ziqing Sacred Land didn’t care about being coveted by other forces at all.
After all, few sects and forces dared to oppose a super-first-class sect, even if the sect’s strength had been greatly damaged.
What Ziqing Sacred Land didn’t expect was that this time, there would be so many sects and families attacking the Ziqing Sacred Land at the same time.
Since Wuling City was too far away, it was already half a month later when they got the news, and it was Qingfeng Tower who took the initiative to inform them. If not, it may take a few more days before Wuling City can get the news.
In addition, Wuling City has cooperated with Qingfeng Tower several times, and the scope of cooperation is mainly in intelligence. Now Wuling City is already a VIP client of Qingfeng Tower, so there is no need to be the first to ask for all kinds of information, Qingfeng Tower will come with the information by itself.
As early as four years ago, Feng Shao was secretly coveted and tempted by many sects because of the Qiankun Palace, and Feng Shao’s choice was to severely hit those families who were loyal dogs of those sects through Qingfeng Tower.
These families suffered heavy casualties, and the sects behind the scenes lay low, and there has been no follow-up since then.
However, after this incident, the cooperation between Qingfeng Tower and Wuling City has become routine.
In the next few days, the outside of Wuling City was loosened and the inside tightened. On the surface, it looks like nothing happened, but in private, it has already started to operate secretly.
The first is armament.
In the past few years, Wuling City has developed a variety of novel weapons, but none of them has been officially released yet.
These weapons usually lay quietly in the warehouse to collect ashes, but this time they were finally brought out and re-calibrated.
Perhaps it won’t be long before these weapons will officially come in handy.
The second is personnel.
The number of patrol personnel has been greatly increased, almost tripled, and the scope of patrols has also been expanded several times.
Not only that, Feng Lingxue, Feng Shao’s eldest disciple, also led a ten-member team to keep an eye on the surrounding plants and trees, never letting go of any movement.
Lin Xiaoran wasn’t sure whether the Chongyang Sword Sect and other forces would attack Wuling City, but she had to guard against it.
Then there is the intelligence aspect.
The main sources of information in Wuling City are Yunjian Pavilion and Qingfeng Tower, and this time Lin Xiaoran used the power of Yunjian Pavilion to investigate the situation in Beizhou.
Among them, the whereabouts of the Ziqing Saint Lord Tang Fei and the situation of the Holy Lord’s wife Murong Pianpian are the focus of the investigation.
The last thing is to test the attitude of some important forces towards this matter, as their attitude will determine the life and death of Ziqing Sacred Land.
