I run a casino in the immortal realm.

Xuantian Market, South Street.

The hustle and bustle of the night market was incessant, and the psionic lights along the street illuminated the bluestone pavement.

Zheng Yifei, who had been practicing martial arts all day, came out for some fresh air. He was wearing an ordinary gray cloth long gown, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, and walked slowly through the crowd.

Chen San and Lin Bao followed half a step behind him. They had received a message from Tie Feng saying that Boss Zheng wanted to purchase a large amount of spiritual materials, and they had come from Qingyun Sect to deliver the spirit stones. They had just arrived today.

"Young Master Zheng, I heard you're in Xuantian Market. Miss Su was asking why you're not going back."

Chen San lowered his voice and made a joke.

Lin Bao grinned: "That's right, it's been two years since we last met, how could Miss Su not be anxious?"

Zheng Yifei didn't reply. He stopped in front of a stall selling monster materials and casually picked up a fang from a Crimson Fire Wolf to examine it.

Just then, the communication jade slip in his arms began to vibrate violently.

The vibration frequency was extremely rapid, indicating the highest level of emergency communication.

Zheng Yifei put down his fangs, turned around and walked into a deserted dead-end alley, took out a jade slip, and probed it with his divine sense.

Su Wanqing's voice came out, lacking its usual composure, and was noticeably hoarse and filled with suppressed panting.

"With one flight, the Azure Cloud Sect is gone."

"Qin Cang personally led the raid, the main peak formation was broken, the casualties of the sect are unknown, Zhang Biao activated the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation, and the entire mirage was destroyed."

My grandfather, Zhang Biao, and I, along with over eighty core members, are currently hiding in the No. 3 underground karst cave outside the city.

The jade slip's light dimmed.

The alley was deathly silent.

Chen San and Lin Bao stood aside. They couldn't hear the contents of the jade slip, but they keenly sensed that Zheng Yifei's aura had changed.

The feeling was like a lurking beast opening its eyes.

"Young Master Zheng, what happened?"

Chen San asked tentatively.

Zheng Yifei put away the jade slip and turned to look at the two of them.

"The Qingyun Sect has been destroyed."

Five words struck Chen San and Lin Bao like a hammer blow.

Lin Bao's smile froze, his eyes widening in disbelief: "You... what did you say?"

"Qin Cang was the one who caused the mirage to be destroyed."

Zheng Yifei's tone was frighteningly calm: "You two are lucky to have escaped this ordeal."

Chen San's legs went weak, and he leaned against the wall. Lin Bao's eyes reddened, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. They were originally assassins trained by the Xu family and were extremely loyal to the Xu family. Now that their old master was dead, they couldn't accept it.

Zheng Yifei ignored their emotional breakdown. He quickly reviewed the entire incident in his mind.

Qin Cang was even more anxious than he had anticipated. Not only had the 2 billion spirit stones failed to satisfy the old dog, but they had also exposed the terrifying wealth of the Qingyun Sect, leading to his death.

Now is not the time for sorrow. Since Qin Cang has taken action, he will surely eliminate the threat completely.

Zheng Yifei took out the jade slip, quickly imprinted it with his divine sense, and replied to Su Wanqing.

"The cave is unsafe; Zeng Feng's enforcement team will find it soon."

"Break apart the eighty core members, break them up into smaller groups, and disperse them to various places to hide. They are all ordinary disciples, so the Xuantian Sect cannot find them."

"You, Grandpa, and Zhang Biao, come to Xuantian Market immediately."

On the other end of the jade slip, Su Wanqing quickly replied: "The market town? Zeng Feng just took over there with his men. Now there are people from the Enforcement Hall everywhere. Going there is tantamount to walking into a trap."

"The darkest place is under the lamp; the most dangerous place is the safest. Qin Cang would never expect us to dare to hide right under his nose."

Cutting off the communication, Zheng Yifei strode out of the alley.

"Let's go back to Jubaoge."

Chen San and Lin Bao suppressed their shock and grief and quickly followed.

The secret room in the backyard of Jubaoge.

Tie Feng was checking the spiritual materials against a list when he saw Zheng Yifei push the door open and immediately got up to greet him.

"Young Master Zheng, we've found a source for the Infant-Gathering Grass. An old ghost in the black market in the east of the city has one, and I'm just about to..."

"Let's put it aside for now."

Zheng Yifei interrupted him, walked to the table and sat down: "Qingyun Sect was destroyed by Qin Cang."

The jade slip in Tie Feng's hand fell to the ground with a "thud," and his face, full of fat, twitched violently.

Zheng Yifei stared into Tie Feng's eyes and spoke very quickly: "Qin Cang destroyed the Qingyun Sect's headquarters. His next step will definitely be to purge all Qingyun Sect disciples within the Xuantian Sect. Zhao Ling is in danger."

Tie Feng shuddered, immediately realizing, "Miss Zhao Ling is in the alchemy hall! Although she keeps a low profile, it's clearly written on the roster that she was sent in by the Qingyun Sect!"

"Send her a message: get ready to get dressed now."

"clear!"

Tie Feng picked up the jade slip, turned around, and rushed out of the secret room.

The door to the secret room closed.

Zheng Yifei leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

If Zhao Ling acts quickly enough, she should be able to escape before the Enforcement Hall can arrest her.

There is another key figure.

Xu Zhenghai.

Xu Zhengkun, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, is the younger brother of Wan Tianxiang, the tenth elder of Xuantian Sect. He currently works in the Array Pavilion. His sister, Xu Muyao, is also in Xuantian Sect.

Although Wan Tianxiang spoke up for the Qingyun Sect in the Elders' Council, his strength was not great. Faced with the powerful Qin Cang and the already established charge of "treason," Wan Tianxiang might not be able to protect Xu Zhenghai.

Moreover, Qin Cang would absolutely not allow Xu Zhengkun's younger brother and sister to live in this world.

Zheng Yifei took out a pale gold talisman from the depths of his storage ring.

This was given to him by Xu Zhengkun many years ago; it's a one-way communication talisman between him and Xu Zhenghai, using a special mother-child traction array that cannot be intercepted by divine sense.

Zheng Yifei forced out a wisp of spiritual energy from his fingertips and quickly wrote seven characters on the talisman.

"The Qingyun Sect has been destroyed, run!"

The writing disappeared into the talisman, a flash of golden light, and the talisman turned into ashes.

at the same time.

Xuantian Sect, sixth floor of the Array Pavilion.

Xu Zhenghai was bent over his desk drawing a fourth-order array diagram. He had a thin face and his eyebrows bore a resemblance to Xu Zhengkun.

Suddenly, a brocade pouch at his waist became intensely hot.

Xu Zhenghai put down the talisman brush, untied the brocade pouch, and took out a similar pale gold talisman.

Seven blood-red characters slowly emerged on the talisman.

"The Qingyun Sect has been destroyed, run!"

Xu Zhenghai stared intently at those seven words, his mind going blank with a "buzz".

The Qingyun Sect was destroyed?

How is that possible?

His elder brother sent him a message during the day, saying that the Xuantian Sect wanted the Qingyun Sect to pay 2 billion spirit stones and also wanted to recruit 3,000 elites, and wanted him to talk to Elder Wan.

Only a few hours have passed, and the Qingyun Sect has been destroyed?

Xu Zhenghai's hands trembled violently. He knew Zheng Yifei; that man would never joke about something like this.

"Let's go, we can't hesitate any longer. His father is a powerful figure in the early Nascent Soul stage. Only the Grand Elder can destroy the Qingyun Sect. He should still be in the Qingyun Sect now. Once he returns to the Xuantian Sect, he will definitely purge the Qingyun Sect disciples who are studying in the Xuantian Sect, especially the Xu family."

Xu Zhenghai quickly grabbed his storage bag, didn't say goodbye to anyone, and rushed to the talisman pavilion where his sister was. Without explaining, he grabbed her and left. Once outside the sect, he summoned a high-grade flying boat and sped away.
