Chapter 95 Why was the entire army wiped out?
After obtaining the fourth-tier pill formula, Ye Xiaobai happily returned to Lingdan Peak to study it.
"Rose spur, red peony, asarum, sweet grass flower..." Ye Xiaobai first confirmed the basic spiritual herbs required for this prescription.
Ye Xiaobai has most of the spiritual herbs, and he has heard of the ones he doesn't have in the nearby markets. Only the hundred-year-old sweet grass flower is not available in the nearby markets. It seems that this time he will have to go to a market further away to buy it.
The next step is to confirm which market area we're going to.
……
Zhao family.
"Master, something terrible has happened! The spirit garden near Siping Prefecture has been attacked again!" A servant of the Zhao family rushed into the hall and shouted.
"Understood, you may leave!" Zhao Qingtian, the head of the Zhao family, said calmly, then gestured for him to leave.
The man quickly realized that his task was complete and left the hall.
"What news is there about Zhao Shuang?" Zhao Qingtian turned to Zhao Dequan and asked.
"According to the report from Yan Wu and other disciples who returned to the sect, Zhao Shuang died in the attack by the Qingyun Sect!" Zhao Dequan said hurriedly.
"Where is the body?" Zhao Qingtian pressed on.
“No trace of his remains!” Zhao Dequan said.
"Something's not right. Even if Zhao Shuang died in battle, his body should still be here, right? Did Yan Wu and the others discover something?" Zhao Qingtian asked, his face full of doubt.
"I don't think so, but it's strange that it failed this time," Zhao Dequan said, puzzled.
"Let's take a break for a while. Tell the people from the Qingyun Sect that things are tense lately, so let's rest for a while before taking any action!" Zhao Qingtian said.
"Yes, Master!"
……
Qingyun Sect.
"Outrageous!" Jiang Dongxu said angrily. Upon hearing that all 20 cultivators from the Qingyun Sect had been wiped out, he was so angry that he smashed the cup in his hand to pieces.
"Vice Sect Master, calm down!" Elder Liu Qingxuan quickly advised from the side.
"Who exactly killed Guo Xingyun and the others? Has the truth been found out?" Jiang Dongxu asked directly.
"It's been confirmed. It was Yan Wu from the White Tiger Sect who led the team!" Liu Qingxuan replied.
"Yan Wu? Is he very powerful? What is his cultivation level?" Jiang Dongxu asked again.
"Yan Wu is only at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage!"
"So they sent a Core Formation stage cultivator this time?" Jiang Dongxu asked, even more puzzled. After all, Guo Xingyun was also at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage, and he brought a lot of people. How could he have been defeated by a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage?
"No, they are all Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!"
"Could it be that the Zhao family is playing a trick on us?" Jiang Dongxu really didn't know what else could be the reason besides this situation.
"I don't think so. The Zhao family has cooperated with us several times already. They wouldn't just play us for this one time," Liu Qingxuan said.
"Then why were they all wiped out?" Jiang Dongxu wanted to know the reason again.
“The specific reason for this failure is unknown, but a familiar person appeared in Yan Wu’s team!” Liu Qingxuan said.
"who is it?"
"Ye Xiaobai!"
"That brat must have ruined our plans again!" Jiang Dongxu said angrily.
“It’s very likely that every time we encounter him, it’s our Qingyun Sect disciples who suffer! We already suffered heavy losses because of him in the secret realm before!” Liu Qingxuan added.
"No, we can't let this brat get away with this! Arrange for someone to kill him as soon as possible! I get annoyed just hearing his name!" Jiang Dongxu said viciously.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to take him out right away, but it seems the kid has been staying at the White Tiger Sect lately and hasn't come out."
"Why don't you wait until he leaves the White Tiger Sect before making a move?"
"Understood!"
"By the way, what did the Zhao family say about the failed attack?" Jiang Dongxu asked again.
"The Zhao family also said they didn't know what happened, even their Zhao Shuang from the Zhao family is dead," Liu Qingxuan replied.
"That sentence is a bit strange."
"The Zhao family also said that things are tense lately, and they are worried that something might be discovered within the sect, so they have requested a postponement of their operation!" Liu Qingxuan added again.
"What a bunch of cowards! They've become so timid just because a few people died!" Jiang Dongxu shouted.
"And what about us?" Liu Qingxuan asked cautiously.
"We? Keep attacking the White Tiger Sect's territory!" Jiang Dongxu said indignantly.
"Understood!" Liu Qingxuan said, preparing to go down and arrange the manpower.
"Don't forget to find someone to take care of that Ye Xiaobai!" Jiang Dongxu added.
"I've got it!" Liu Qingxuan said before finally leaving.
……
In a secret room on Lingyun Peak.
Their conversation shattered the tranquility of their daily life in the secluded room.
"Elder, how should we handle this matter concerning the Zhao family?" Han Chuanming asked respectfully, looking at the white-haired old man beside him.
This old man is Bai Xiaotian, the only Nascent Soul stage cultivator in the White Tiger Sect.
"What exactly did Zhao Shuang say?" Bai Xiaotian asked directly.
"That Zhao Shuang is just a collateral descendant of the Zhao family. He only said that someone in the clan arranged for him to cooperate with the Qingyun Sect cultivators at that Spirit Garden. After the matter was completed, there would be generous benefits." Han Chuanming slowly explained the details.
"This still doesn't allow us to determine whether the Zhao family has completely betrayed the White Tiger Sect or if only a few individuals from the Zhao family have betrayed them," Bai Xiaotian said calmly.
"Zhao Shuang has already said that he was instructed by someone in his clan. Can't we still make a judgment?" Han Chuanming asked, puzzled.
"What if the Zhao family randomly throws out a member of their clan and accuses us of being a traitor?"
"So, there's no evidence, and the Zhao family will never admit it, right?" Han Chuanming retorted.
"That's for sure, otherwise the Zhao family would face the danger of extermination!"
"So we're just going to let the Zhao family do whatever they want, allowing them to harm the White Tiger Sect?"
"Of course not. Increase surveillance on the Zhao family! At the same time, find some time to give them a warning. If you find that the Zhao family dares to do anything that seriously harms the interests of the White Tiger Sect again, I will personally take action to destroy the Zhao family once I find conclusive evidence!" Bai Xiaotian said calmly.
"Understood!"
"Go out! Don't disturb my cultivation unless it's absolutely necessary!" Bai Xiaotian said softly.
"I understand, I've disturbed the Elder!" Han Chuanming said as he slowly left the secret room.
After Han Chuanming left, Bai Xiaotian quickly closed his eyes and began meditating, and the secret room immediately returned to its usual tranquility.
……
After confirming with Ye Xiaobai several times, he still felt it was better to go to a place he was familiar with, since the current environment was not very safe and going to an unfamiliar place would definitely increase the risk.
Ye Xiaobai first went to the nearby market to buy the necessary spiritual herbs. After preparing, Ye Xiaobai found that he didn't have many spirit stones left. He had wasted too many materials while researching the top-grade Gathering Yuan Pill.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but feel sorry for him again.
Originally planning to sell some pills for spirit stones, Ye Xiaobai decided to sell pills in other markets as well, since he was going to another market soon.
With everything prepared, Ye Xiaobai left the White Tiger Sect and headed to the market town near Sanjiang City.
