Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 351: Forcing the Issue

Shangguan Qiong asked in puzzlement, “With Song Yuanqing acting so recklessly, hasn’t the Heavenly Grace Dynasty said anything about it?”

Zhao Bitong’s expression was unpleasant as she shook her head, “They only said it’s an internal dispute between our sects and told us to handle it ourselves.”

Shangguan Yu’s face turned slightly cold, and she spoke in a chilly tone, “These bastards, they take so many benefits from our Joyful Union Sect every year, and when something happens, they just brush it off with a simple phrase like ‘sect internal dispute’?”

Zhao Bitong and the others were also filled with righteous indignation and anger.

Over the years, the Joyful Union Sect had given the Heavenly Grace Dynasty’s important figures in this region whatever they wanted.

Zhao Bitong had even sacrificed herself several times, but now it seemed that the Heavenly Grace Dynasty was indifferent and heartless when they had a problem.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Elder Sister, according to Old Ghost Qian, this matter has been instructed by someone from the Heavenly Grace Dynasty, so they don’t dare to intervene.”

Although she didn’t say it explicitly, Shangguan Qiong and the others understood the implication of her words.

It was Jun Wuxie from the Heavenly Grace Dynasty, and this kid can’t wait any longer.

Shangguan Qiong’s face turned slightly cold; she had known that the Heavenly Deception Sect wouldn’t suddenly become so reckless without someone’s instigation.

Jun Wuxie was clearly trying to put pressure on them, to force them to make a mistake.

But it was an effective move, as the Heavenly Deception Sect’s sudden attack had put the Joyful Union Sect in a difficult position.

“Elder sister, what should we do now?” Zhao Ningzhi asked.

Shangguan Qiong rubbed her temples and finally said, “I’ll send a message to Jun Wuxie to see if there’s still a way to resolve this.”

“Zhao Bitong, arrange for the Foundation Establishment Stage and Core Formation Realm disciples to go out and provide support, and have the outer sect disciples withdraw as soon as possible.”

Zhao Bitong furrowed her brow and asked, “What about the resources and industries? What should we do with them?”

The Joyful Union Sect had spirit fields and industries outside, most of which couldn’t be moved in a short amount of time.

Shangguan Qiong made a decisive statement, “Take what you can and leave what you can’t. The lives of our disciples come first.”

Zhao Bitong nodded and said, “I understand, I’ll give the orders right away.”

Shangguan Qiong continued, “Sister Zhao, the sect’s array will now rely on you and Yuer.”

“Use anything from the Joyful Union Sect’s treasury, don’t worry about the cost, and reinforce the Protective Sect Array.”

Zhao Ningzhi nodded and said, “Elder sister, don’t worry, we’ll take care of it.”

Shangguan Qiong thought for a moment and added, “Keep this matter secret from the other sect members to avoid causing a commotion.”

Zhao Bitong nodded and took out a jade slip, “Elder sister, this is what you wanted, but it only has the first three layers.”

Shangguan Qiong took it and looked inside, where she found the Heavenly Fiend Palace’s technique, the Twelve God Slaying True Scripture.

“Thanks for your hard work, you’ve done a great job!”

Zhao Bitong looked puzzled and asked, “Elder sister, what are you going to use this for? We went through a lot of trouble to get it for you.”

Shangguan Qiong smiled and said, “I have a special use for it, don’t ask too many questions. All right, everyone has their own job to do.”

Zhao Bitong was a person of action and quickly left, leaving only the Shangguan sisters and Zhao Ningzhi behind.

“Elder Sister Qiong, Elder Sister Yu, will we send Liu Mei and Chen Qingyan this time?” Zhao Ningzhi asked hesitantly.

Shangguan Qiong thought for a moment and said, “Except for Yunxi, the others will follow Zhao Bitong’s arrangements and don’t let her know about this matter.”

The plan to deceive and replace the heir was currently only known to the three of them, and Zhao Bitong was being kept in the dark.

Given her personality, she would definitely not agree if she knew, so Shangguan Qiong didn’t dare to let her know.

Zhao Ningzhi nodded and expressed some concern, “What if the kid finds out?”

Shangguan Qiong remained calm and said, “You just keep it from him, and if he finds out, then we’ll deal with it. He’s in Skyview Peak and can’t see anyone else, so it’s not like he’ll find out easily.”

She tossed the jade scroll to Zhao Ningzhi and said, “Give him the Twelve God Slaying True Scripture and let him cultivate to the Double Slaying Realm as soon as possible.”

Zhao Ningzhi nodded and asked, “Does that mean we’ll implement the plan early?”

Shangguan Qiong said, “It is possible. Let him improve his cultivation quickly, and if he’s still slow, he’ll be useless to us.”

Shangguan Qiong was annoyed just thinking about it. If she could, she would make him practice dual cultivation every day to break through his mediocre talent.

A cultivator like him, not using dual cultivation to break through and instead just closing himself off in meditation, what’s the point of that?

“Do you think you’re a mother hen incubating eggs?”

But this matter, unless Lin Fengmian is willing, otherwise, even if Shangguan Qiong forces him, as long as he doesn’t absorb spiritual energy, it will be a waste of effort.

This made Shangguan Qiong extremely frustrated.

Zhao Ningzhi suddenly remembered something and hesitated, “Elder sister, what about his parents?”

Shangguan Qiong only then remembered that Lin Fengmian’s parents were still in Qingfeng City and frowned, “You find an excuse to send Liu Mei and Chen Qingyan to Qingfeng City and make arrangements for his parents.”

Finally satisfied, Zhao Ningzhi left, leaving only the Shangguan sisters behind.

“Sister, are you really going to implement the plan ahead of time? That child doesn’t know anything!” Shangguan Yu frowned.

Shangguan Qiong spoke, “There is no other choice, we have to force the issue. You send a message to Yuping and Yuling, no matter what the reason, and have them return as soon as possible.”

“And have the people below speed up the refinement of this special spiritual tool. And will Yue Shuying cause any problems?”

Shangguan Yu smiled slightly, “That half-demon girl is very smart. Although she knows that we have information about her father, she’s probably aware that it’s probably a lie, but she’s still pretending not to know.”

“As long as she can’t escape our control, she won’t do anything stupid.”

Shangguan Qiong nodded and said, “What about her father’s situation, have you found out any information?”

Shangguan Yu helplessly rolled her eyes, “Sister, her mother was pregnant with her 1,000 years ago, who knows which human scoundrel her father is?”

Shangguan Qiong thought for a moment, “Being able to raise a Heavenly Leech Demon, her status and position should not be low. Investigate further.”

Shangguan Yu said helplessly, “That will have to wait until the current crisis is over.”

Shangguan Qiong nodded, also worried about the current situation.

On the other hand, Lin Fengmian, who was being taken care of by Liu Mei, still couldn’t do anything.

The reason was simple: after not moving for half a month, Lin Fengmian was too exhausted and had too much male odor.

Even though he was lying down thinking about it, Liu Mei opened her mouth but still couldn’t bring herself to go to the West to obtain the scriptures.

In the end, with a face full of disgust, Liu Mei took Lin Fengmian to take a bath, and he was shocked by the water.

One second, he was a carefree and invincible Sword Saint, and the next, he became a “stinky man” in Liu Mei’s eyes.

The huge contrast made Lin Fengmian feel like he was a child who had been scolded by his mother.

Reality is too cruel, I want to go back to 1,000 years ago!

But the delicate and soft touch on his back made him give up on that idea.

It’s pretty good, it’s pretty good!

The gentle village, the hero’s grave!

Liu Mei gently helped him wash up and muttered to herself, “Little rascal, you’re doing it on purpose, aren’t you? How hateful!”

She couldn’t bring herself to do it, she really couldn’t!

“How could that be?”

Lin Fengm was wandering around, and to distract himself, he asked, “Elder sister, do you know about the Empress Feng Yao?”
