PNB Chapter 1523: Meet Yourself?
Chapter 1523: Meet Yourself?
Inside the main hall of the Qingcheng Yufa Sect, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost possible to squeeze water out of it.
Su Hongzhen sat on the throne of the clan leader, his face ashen. The purple clay teacup in his hand creaked as he squeezed it, and his knuckles turned white.
When he just learned that Mingchuan had broken through the Nascent Soul Realm and refined the Moon Soul Crystal, he dropped a teacup on the spot, and the fragments are still scattered at his feet.
"What a Mingchuan!" Su Hongzhen slammed his hand on the table, scattering the jade slips all over the floor. His tone was filled with gnashing anger. "He killed our sect's Holy Son back then, and now not only lives a carefree life, he's even broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and obtained the Moon Soul Crystal! Is he going to take all the opportunities in this Spirit Realm?"
The disciples next to him were so frightened that they dared not breathe.
Everyone knows that Su Hongzhen has never let go of this hatred, and she has been enduring humiliation before.
Now Mingchuan has become the key for the Spirit Realm to compete with the Holy Realm. Not to mention taking revenge, even open targeting is impossible!
After all, all the sects in the Spirit Realm are watching, and no one wants to provoke internal strife at this time.
Su Hongzhen paced back and forth, his eyes full of anxiety.
He was unwilling to see Mingchuan rise to prominence, but he was helpless and could only pace around the hall in frustration. "Everyone in the Spirit Realm sees him as their savior. If I were to cause trouble for him now, I'd definitely be criticized by the other sects! But if I just watch him grow stronger, where will the reputation of my Qingcheng Yufa Sect be?"
"Who are we going to avenge Su Yuze?"
Suddenly, he stopped, a calculating look flashed in his eyes, and he shouted outside the hall: "Someone! Go and invite Elder Jinman!"
Not long after, Jin Man came slowly, and the pressure of the Spirit Transformation Realm was looming.
She bowed slightly to Su Hongzhen: "Master, what are your instructions?"
"Jin Man, where's Cang Ziang?" Su Hongzhen asked anxiously, "He went to the Demon Abyss to investigate the unusual situation. It's been so long, why hasn't he returned yet?"
Su Hongzhen was calculating in his mind.
No matter how strong Mingchuan is, he has just broken through the Nascent Soul Realm. Cang Ziang is quite talented. If the two of them were to face each other, it would not only test Mingchuan's strength, but also allow Cang Ziang to show up in front of the cultivators in the Spirit Realm, suppress Mingchuan's limelight, and by the way, allow the Qingcheng Yufa Sect to regain some face.
Jin Man felt extremely helpless when she heard the three words "Cang Ziang".
It is simply a fantasy to let Mingchuan meet him face to face.
But her expression remained calm, and she bowed and replied, "Sect Master, the Demonic Abyss is vast and the demonic energy is complex. Investigating it is time-consuming. Ziang may have encountered a difficult situation, delaying his return."
"Delay?" Su Hongzhen frowned, his tone dissatisfied, "What time is it now! Mingchuan has already taken advantage of us!"
"Master, calm down," Jin Man said hastily. "Perhaps Ziang is just finishing up. After all, the matter of the Demon Abyss is of great importance. If he returns hastily, he might make mistakes."
"Why don't I go and see if he has already left. If he is about to return, I will ask him to come back as soon as possible so that I can complete the sect master's instructions."
Right now, we must first stabilize Su Hongzhen, and then find a way to send a message to Mingchuan to let him prepare in advance.
We can't really let "Cang Ziang" and "Mingchuan" appear in front of everyone at the same time.
If that happens, not only will Mingchuan's identity be exposed, but she, who helped conceal it, will also be held accountable.
Su Hongzhen's expression softened slightly after hearing her say this. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, go tell him to come back as soon as possible. Remember, tell him to come see me as soon as he comes back. I have something important to tell him."
"Okay." Jin Man bowed and responded, then turned and left the hall.
The moment she walked out of the palace, she breathed a sigh of relief, but a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.
It seems that this muddy water is becoming increasingly difficult to wade through.
She must contact Mingchuan as soon as possible, otherwise if Su Hongzhen becomes suspicious, the consequences will be unimaginable...!
However, Mingchuan has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage...
When he was still in the Jindan stage, he was able to fight with the Demon Lord like that. Now that he is in the Yuanying stage, he probably looks down on the Qingcheng Yufa Sect.
He might even turn against Su Hongzhen and not bother to come back here.
Jin Man's eyes darkened.
No, in order to prevent innocent people from being hurt when the two of them fight, she has to help Mingchuan settle the three little guys who were around him before.
Thinking of this, Jin Man immediately went to Fentian Pavilion to find Yaya, Chen Shu and Jinwa who were practicing.
When the three children saw her coming, joy appeared on their faces.
"Elder Jin!"
Jin Man narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It seems that your recent progress in cultivation has been quite good. You've all become so powerful. It looks like you're all about to reach the foundation-building stage."
Chen Shu smiled politely and solemnly: "Thanks to Elder Jin for taking good care of us during Brother Ziang's absence, we have made rapid progress."
"I just don't know when Brother Ziang will be back."
Jin Man frowned. "I came here to tell you about this. Your brother Ziang is in trouble now, and he asked me to put you in a safe place..."
Before Jinwa could finish his words, Yaya's face immediately showed concern and anxiety.
"What happened to Brother Ziang? Is he in danger?!"
Seeing that the little girl was so anxious that she was about to cry, Jin Man reached out and gently stroked her head.
"Don't worry, it's just a little trouble."
"You guys come with me first."
The three children looked at each other, and Yaya and Jinwa both looked at Chen Shu, waiting for his decision.
"Brother Shu..."
Chen Shu's eyes darkened and he said, "Elder Jin is definitely doing things for our own good. Let's listen to her!"
"it is good."
The two children immediately agreed.
Jin Man smiled, turned around and led them towards his cave.
Instead of taking the main road, they went around to a secluded bamboo forest in the back mountain of the sect.
The deep bamboo forest was shrouded in mist, and the stone road underfoot had long been covered with fallen leaves. It was obvious that few people set foot here on weekdays.
This was a secret place that she had accidentally discovered during her early years of cultivation. No one else knew about it except herself.
"Elder Jin, where are we going?" Jinwa curiously pushed aside the bamboo branches that blocked the way, his eyes full of confusion.
Although this bamboo forest is filled with rich spiritual energy, it exudes a sense of secluded tranquility, which is completely different from the bustling sect.
Jin Man turned around and smiled, his tone gentle but with a hint of solemnity: "You will understand when you get there. It is very safe here. You can practice in peace without worrying about being disturbed."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed at the void in front of her. A light golden rune quietly emerged and merged into the surrounding mist.
As the runes dissipated, the scene before him suddenly changed.
A small bamboo house suddenly appeared in the middle of the originally empty bamboo forest. Faint spiritual fluctuations lingered around the bamboo house, which was obviously shrouded in a formation.
