If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 351: Forming a small group!?
Zhong Sanyuan and Dai Qianqiu sat side by side opposite Shen Ziqing.

Shen Ziqing poured tea for Zhong Sanyuan and Dai Qianqiu with a smile, and they both nodded nervously in thanks.

"There's no need for you two to be so nervous. I heard from the Great Elder that you have something important to discuss. I wonder what it is?" Shen Ziqing shook his head helplessly.

"Ahem - Mr. Shen, um, is Brother Li really your master?" Zhong Sanyuan coughed and wanted to talk about business, but in the end, curiosity controlled his mouth.

"It's absolutely true! If Master hadn't come to my rescue, I would have been killed by the tiger monster."

Zhong Sanyuan and Dai Qianqiu looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Zhong Sanyuan hesitated for a moment and then asked tentatively, "Mr. Shen, you are a Divine Transformation cultivator, but Brother Li... was only in the Foundation Establishment stage eight years ago."

"Foundation building period?"

Shen Ziqing murmured doubtfully at first, then laughed out loud under the blank gazes of the two men, "It seems so to you two."

Zhong Sanyuan and Dai Qianqiu were confused by Shen Ziqing's strange behavior, but their intuition told them that they were getting closer and closer to an incredible truth.

"Over the past eight years, Master has mentioned you two to me quite often," Shen Ziqing said, gently shaking his teacup. "The fact that the Xinghe Three Transformations Sect and the Six Paths Sect took the initiative to take over Zhuozhou's mess must be due to you two. I understand you two, and even the Masters and Sects behind you... I can trust you, right?"

"Of course—" Zhong Sanyuan and Dai Qianqiu nodded seriously.

Although the two of them were highly anticipated by the sect elders, they were only disciples after all. If the sect did not have that intention, no matter how much they said, it would be useless.

The fact that the master was persuaded by them means a lot.

"Okay, it was my master who used the heavenly tribulation to dispel the semi-immortal ghost fog in Meizhou."

Zhong Sanyuan and Dai Qianqiu's hands shook, and the teacups slammed onto the table with a clang. The tea in the cups splashed out and landed on their sleeves.

Shen Ziqing did not urge them, but took a sip of tea and waited for the two to digest the information.

A moment later, Zhong Sanyuan sucked in a breath of cold air, suppressing his shock and whispering, "Brother Li was still in the Foundation Establishment Stage eight or nine years ago. It was Brother Li who blew up the Semi-Immortal Ghost Mist in Meizhou!?"

"Yes."

Zhong Sanyuan took another breath, his expression gradually becoming strange. "In other words, he was hiding his true cultivation level the entire time? No wonder when we were instructing Brother Li on his cultivation, he had... that expression."

Zhong Sanyuan recalled it carefully, and the more he recalled, the more he felt that Li Yanmo's eyes when he looked at them were kind and accommodating.

Even if a person with higher cultivation level lets someone with lower cultivation level investigate, the person with lower cultivation level will definitely not be able to find anything.

Thinking about it this way, it’s not surprising that Li Yanmo was able to break through Chi Che’s world.

As for why I pretended to be faint at that time.

Emperor Yu was watching right there. If he wasn't pretending to be dead, he was probably preparing to die for real.

Dai Qianqiu covered his face and fell into autism. Although his attitude changed later, it could not change the fact that he ignored Li Yanmo at the beginning.

Shen Ziqing rubbed the cup in his hand and said casually, "Have you ever considered that my master might be the reincarnation of an immortal?"

Zhong Sanyuan and Dai Qianqiu were both stunned, scratching their faces as if they had touched upon a blind spot in their knowledge. "Immortal reincarnation to cultivate again? Why is it an immortal reincarnation to cultivate again? Is that so?"

The attitudes of the two people gave Shen Ziqing the answer.

Only the sects that have had contact with the Immortal Palace would subconsciously regard a person with low cultivation but extraordinary means as the reincarnation of an immortal. The first reaction of a normal sect should be that the other party is a powerful person who deliberately lowers his cultivation level.

Zhong Sanyuan and Dai Qianqiu hold very high status in the sect. If the Six Paths Sect, the Three Stars Sect and the Immortal Palace have any connection, these two people must know about it.

So the reason why Master is on good terms with these two people...

Shen Ziqing's eyes gleamed. "You two should talk about your priorities first. The reincarnation of the immortals is crucial to the overall plan of Tianxu Tower." Zhong Sanyuan and Dai Qianqiu nodded in understanding. "Master Shen, the ancient caves in Meizhou and even the other six states all belong to Tianxu Tower, right?"

Shen Ziqing paused, and a moment of hesitation gave the two of them the answer.

"Mr. Shen, please don't misunderstand. We want to cooperate with Tianxu Tower," Zhong Sanyuan bluntly stated the purpose of his trip. "Emperor Yu has been slow to choose a crown prince, and the sect elders are worried that the rumors about Emperor Yu are true. Now, there's this incident with the Semi-Immortal Ghost Mist."

"We also have to plan ahead and consider some compromise options."

Shen Ziqing raised his eyebrows. "Do your two sects hope to transition to a model similar to the Meizhou Huantian Sect?"

Zhong Sanyuan and Dai Qianqiu nodded without hesitation.

Before setting off, their clan leaders had a heart-to-heart talk with them and expressed their attitude on this matter.

Although Tianxu Tower and the contemporary Emperor Yu are in a game of chess, they have already reached a certain balance.

[Meizhou seemed to be Tianxu Tower showing off its power to Emperor Yu, but in reality, Tianxu Tower was giving in.]

[Destroy the foundation that has been hidden for hundreds of thousands of years, expose everything, and show it to the world as Dayu's property]

This is the escape route.

[The chaos in the world is not good for Dayu, Tianxu Tower, or us.]

Having said that, the two of them knew what the sect was thinking.

Their respective sect leaders emphasized to them that "it is not good for us", not for the Taoist sect.

The Galaxy Three Transformations Sect and the Six Paths Sect are both orthodox Dayu sects. They still understand the right and wrong, but they just can't bring themselves to do it.

The millions of Taoist sects should have been like this, but unfortunately, there were many ancient sects that had come here by stealing the show, and this time the semi-immortal ghost fog had awakened them again.

No one would want to be tied to a bomb, let alone there is a sunny and avenue-like escape route now.

"So that's how it is. Tianxu Tower is naturally happy to cooperate with your two masters," Shen Ziqing nodded with a smile, but soon became serious, "But this matter is not that simple."

Seeing Shen Ziqing's serious expression, the two immediately remembered Shen Ziqing's seemingly unintentional words just now: "Why not an immortal reincarnated to cultivate again?"

"Mr. Li, what do you mean?"

"This attempt to sow discord between noble dukes and commoner dukes is no small feud. It is the work of a certain organization behind the scenes."

The two of them clearly understood what Shen Ziqing meant.

Someone is forming a small group!

The two of them only felt a surge of anger rising up.

We agreed that the millions of sects would support each other, but some people are secretly forming cliques and using others as shields. Who can tolerate this?!

"Is it related to the reincarnated immortal?"

"It's related to... many reincarnated immortals," Shen Ziqing paused while turning the cup, remembering a rather puzzling decision made by Li Yanmo a few days ago.

A generous spending of 900 billion top-grade spirit stones allowed Dayu to rush 800 miles to add more ancient caves to all small states in the shortest time possible, regardless of cost.

"When the Zhongzhou expedition officially begins, if your sects have the spare capacity, it would be best to visit more small states. Perhaps you can uncover some shady things."
