Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Mutual Utilization 1
Translator: 549690339
The upheaval in Yinxu Prefecture lasted a whole month, with the City Lord’s forces either fleeing or dying, almost completely wiped out. Qin Changqing quickly selected other families to fill the vacant positions left by the demise of the previous families.
Most of these chosen families were related to the Qin family through marriage or had a good relationship with them.
From then on, the Qin family monopolized Yinxu Prefecture’s various industries, becoming the largest “evil” force!
When the Lingxiao Sect heard about the changes in Yinxu Prefecture, its higher-ups were dumbstruck.
Mu Taixu thought that Qin Changqing would keep a low profile after returning from Duanjian Mountain, and he had warned him to do so. But what happened? Only two years had passed, and he directly overthrew the City Lord!
Killing a Golden Elixir Realm peak expert wasn’t a big problem in itself.
The problem was that Jin Tianfeng, as the City Lord, was a symbol of the Dayan Dynasty’s rule in Yinxu Prefecture.
Now that Qin Changqing had overthrown him, it was like a slap in the face!
You could say that the competition at Duanjian Mountain was fair.
But what about this?
This was clearly taking advantage of the situation to oppress people!
Therefore, the Dayan Dynasty immediately issued a strong condemnation of Qin Changqing’s actions.
The reason they didn’t directly send assassins was that the Yinxu Prefecture was already completely controlled by the Qin family, and there was the support of the Lingxiao Sect behind them. Unless a Divine Transformation Realm expert was dispatched, there would be no hope.
But asking a Divine Transformation Realm expert to kill a small Golden Elixir thug…
Aside from the success issue, it would be embarrassing if word got out.
After all, the strong have their own dignity.
So, the Dayan Dynasty could only condemn and condemn again.
The Lingxiao Sect simply ignored their accusations, attributing the matter to normal disputes among family forces. As a member of the Cultivation Families, it was understandable for the Qin family to expand their influence, right?
As for the Lingxiao Sect’s involvement that night, it was all because of Qin Changqing’s personal connections, and it had nothing to do with the sect!
The Dayan Dynasty said, since it had nothing to do with the sect, they would reclaim the territory themselves.
As a result, when they made a move, the Lingxiao Sect immediately followed suit. They would send as many people as the Dayan Dynasty, claiming that Qin
Changqing was Xuanyi Peak’s senior brother and MO Jiuzhou’s beloved disciple. How could the sect sit idly by and watch their core disciple be bullied?
At this point, not only the Dayan Dynasty but also loose cultivators watching the drama couldn’t help but roll their eyes.
So now Qin Changqing was considered a core disciple? And before that, it was just the power of secular families?
Although the explanation was shameless, the Dayan Dynasty was helpless against them.
There is a saying that “a weak country has no diplomacy” , which was indeed the case.
Although the Dayan Dynasty was not weak, MO Jiuzhou’s strong intervention had indeed created a great deterrent effect.
Of course, the Lingxiao Sect still severely “criticized and educated” Qin Changqing.
They publicly declared that the Lingxiao Sect was not the kind of force that bullied others easily.
However, halfway through the criticism, MO Jiuzhou arrived and took him away.
“You kid, you’re really decisive in making a move,” MO Jiuzhou laughed, “Even I didn’t expect it. The Dayan Dynasty is really feeling as sick as eating shit.”
“Who asked them to move against my family first?” Qin Changqing shrugged, “Since we have to fight, let’s be straightforward. Hesitating will only harm ourselves in the end.”
“Hmm, as long as you have this mentality, I can rest assured. Cultivators don’t actively involve themselves in killing, but they must have a killing nature…
However, you should be careful not to be affected by the killing intent of the
Overlord Sword.”
“I know. I have a sense of measure.’
“That’s good. With the City Lord’s Mansion destroyed, the sect will definitely want to take over Yinxu Prefecture. Help them out a bit to give the sect an explanation.”
Qin Changqing nodded.
Although there was no big fight between the two sides this time, it was mainly because the Lingxiao Sect was strong, causing the Dayan Dynasty to be cautious.
Otherwise, the Qin family wouldn’t have been able to take Yinxu Prefecture so easily.However, the Dayan Dynasty had ruled Yinxu Prefecture for so many years, and the people there must still have loyalty to the dynasty in their hearts.
What the Lingxiao Sect needed to do was to completely turn Yinxu Prefecture into their own territory.
It’s easy to conquer a city, but difficult to win over people’s hearts.
After bidding MO Jiuzhou farewell, Qin Changqing returned to the Qin family, preparing to lie low for ten years to focus on cultivation, waiting for the arrival of the Tianti Road.
However, just five years into his hiding, a significant event happened in Yinxu
Prefecture.
“My lord, the Saintess of Danging Pavilion has come to visit. She wants to hold an Alchemy Convention in Yinxu,” said Su Xiaoyue.
Danqing Pavilion had colluded with the Dayan Dynasty a few years ago, and together they had oppressed the worldly influence of the Lingxiao Sect.
As everyone knows, alchemy has always been a popular profession in the
Tianxuan Realm, and elixirs are among the indispensable items for cultivators.
Although excessive use of elixirs can lead to the accumulation of toxins, compared to the effects of elixirs, this is not so important.
After all, most people have average talent and cannot establish a Foundation in their lifetime. But if they have a Foundation Establishment Elixir, maybe they can succeed.
Under such circumstances, most people would choose to try.
Moreover, not all elixir toxins have significant effects.
The quality of the elixir determines the level of toxicity. If it is refined properly and made into a top-grade elixir, the toxins inside can be essentially ignored.
So the prodigies in those major sects will take this kind of elixir to accelerate their cultivation.
Otherwise, do you really think all prodigies become powerful through their own efforts?
However, while the effects of top-grade elixirs are excellent, their prices are naturally high too.
And making them is even more difficult.
What? No money?
Don’t try to cultivate immortality if you’re broke!
In short, due to the importance of elixirs, Danqing Pavilion has a significant influence in the entire North Region.
Although this influence does not focus on disputes, its infiltration prowess is terrifying, with branches in almost every state in the North Region. However, they had been suppressed upon entering Tianchuan State and had not developed much since then.
If not for this, the Dayan Dynasty would not have had the qualifications to collude with Danqing Pavilion.
Qin Changqing had always felt that this kind of influence was terrifying.
Not engaging in disputes but quietly developing, and their growth rate was extremely frightening.
Although on the surface Danqing Pavilion was a Third Grade influence, Qin Changqing felt that the true strength of Danqing Pavilion was far more profound than it seemed.
Previously, he had not paid much attention to this, but after hearing Su Xiaoyue’s words, Qin Changqing instantly understood.
Since Jin Tianfeng’s death, the Dayan Dynasty seemed to have given up on the struggle for Yinxu Prefecture.
The reason might have been that the Lingxiao Sect had sent more reinforcements. The main city of Dongchi County was far from here, and the Dayan Dynasty couldn’t reach them. Even if they wanted to fight openly, they couldn’t defeat the Lingxiao Sect, so they had to give up.
However, seeing that Danqing Pavilion had arrived, Qin Changqing had a sense of what was going on.
Danqing Pavilion’s influence was too significant. An Alchemy Convention would gather their reputation, and if they guided it deliberately, it could greatly suppress the influence of the Lingxiao Sect in Yinxu Prefecture.
The problem was, it wouldn’t be easy for Qin Changqing to refuse openly.
After all, Yinxu Prefecture was technically unclaimed, and Danqing Pavilion’s notification to him was just a proper gesture.
They were, after all, a Third Grade colossus, and the Lingxiao Sect hadn’t even reached Fourth Grade yet. It wouldn’t be wise to make them enemies rashly.
Danqing Pavilion was helping the Dayan Dynasty, not out of an alliance, but for mutual use.
However, at this point, as long as there aren’t major conflicts, Danqing
Pavilion won’t target the Lingxiao Sect for the sake of the Dayan Dynasty. Therefore, Qin Changqing had to use a ‘gentler’ approach to resolve this issue..
