NOVPUBChapter 953: Chapter 506 Qingyun Sect Chapter 953: Chapter 506 Qingyun Sect However, cultivators of the Huangyang Kingdom had various speculations about this matter.
But since the three Great Sects did not mention it, ordinary cultivators also remained clueless.
Meng Tiannan and his group had also speculated, and even people from Huangyang Country’s Cultivation World had various theories.
But that was all they were, speculations and enthusiastic discussions among cultivators, with no channels to confirm anything.
Now, faced with Lin Tianming’s inquiry, Meng Tiannan simply smiled and revealed no suspicion in his heart.
Then, he unreservedly recounted all the significant events that had occurred in the Huangyang Country’s Cultivation World over the past two years.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Lin Tianming and his companions bid farewell to Meng Tiannan.
...
From Meng Tiannan’s explanation, the Huangyang Kingdom had been relatively peaceful for the past two years, with even the several Golden Elixir Forces, which had friction and gaps between them, behaving calmly as if they were all exercising restraint.
If there were any significant events in Huangyang Kingdom during the past two years, it was that the Three Great Powers of Qingyun Sect had retreated from Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World.
According to Meng Tiannan’s detailed introduction, ever since Ren Feihong had escaped back to them, the Three Great Powers had been in a state of alert.
Following that, there were many disciples from the Great Sects wandering around the border with the Wei Kingdom, with rumors suggesting the Great Sects had called for disciples to participate in training exercises.
Upon reflection, Lin Tianming easily understood the purpose of the Three Great Powers of Qingyun Sect.
In his eyes, it was clearly to preemptively guard against retaliation and a large-scale invasion from the Wei Kingdom’s forces.
Thus, under the guise of training, they dispatched a large number of disciples to surveil the movements of the Wei Kingdom.
And this state of alert continued without any signs of relaxation up to now.
Fortunately, they had no intention of engaging in large-scale warfare when they came to Huangyang Kingdom, nor did they wish to escalate the conflict.
As a result, they traveled lightly. With over two hundred people utilizing the speed of the Third Order Flying Boat, they easily crossed the border and arrived in the hinterlands of Qingyun Sect without much trouble.
Otherwise, if they had organized tens of thousands of cultivators to attack Qingyun Sect, such a large target could not possibly escape the notice of those cultivators.
And such an act would have completely inflamed the Three Great Golden Elixir Forces of Qingyun Sect, leading to the dissolution of mutual restraint and provoking a large-scale battle.
Now that they had reached their destination, everything within the Qingyun Sect’s territory seemed normal according to their observations along the way. Cultivators were cultivating as they should, and there was normal movement, everything appearing as any ordinary day.
To be honest, this calm and collected response of the Qingyun Sect’s several powers had taken Lin Tianming and his group by surprise.
Originally, they had thought the response from the Great Powers of Qingyun Sect would be intense. Although not to the extent of mobilizing large armies, at the very least they would have recalled their disciples to the Sect.
At the same time, Golden Core Stage Experts would likely close themselves off, purely to guard against retaliation from Wei Kingdom’s cultivators.
But now, it seemed Qingyun Sect did not take their defeat or the several Golden Elixir Forces of the Huangyang Kingdom seriously.
Yet such a confident attitude made it clear that even after losing four Golden Core Stage experts, Qingyun Sect’s overall strength remained formidable.
Even if the several great Golden Elixir Forces of the Wei Kingdom were to retaliate, they were confident in their ability to cope.
Otherwise, it would not make sense for them to be so calm.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming and his companions immediately returned to the valley they had departed from and reconvened with Chen Jingtian and the others.
Upon seeing the return of Lin Tianming and his two companions, Chen Jingtian asked hurriedly, “Lu, did you manage to gather any intelligence?”
Hearing this, Lu Xingfeng spoke up and shared the information they had gathered with everyone present.
Upon learning this, Chen Jingtian and the others were also taken aback and quickly began to ponder.
At that moment, Lu Xingfeng glanced at Zhou Yunxiao and Lin Tianming before asking, “Daoist Zhou, Lin, what are your thoughts on this?”
“Heh heh… Seems we all underestimated Qingyun Sect.”
Zhou Yunxiao chuckled and then continued, “In my opinion, Qingyun Sect’s calmness clearly suggests they believe we dare not attack them on a large scale.”
“After all, our several forces have consecutively dealt with beast tides and the attack from the Golden Sword Sect, and our overall strength has indeed declined significantly.”
“Therefore, they have merely heightened their alertness and don’t take us seriously.”
“Their attitude may indeed indicate that Qingyun Sect is powerful and has remained fearless.”
Hearing Zhou Yunxiao’s assessment, Lin Tianming shared the same point of view,
Hence, Lin Tianming also added, “Daoist Zhou is right.”
“You must understand that the inheritance of the powers within Qingyun Sect is quite ancient, especially Forging Sword Valley, which has a longer history than even Daoist Zhou’s Myriad Medicine Valley.”
“Before the great war in the Wei Kingdom, the strength they had demonstrated was clearly much stronger than any of ours.”
“Even after that battle, where each power suffered losses, their overall strength remains formidable.”
“In their eyes, they probably are well aware that unless we deploy all our forces to attack any one of their Sects, they face no danger of being annihilated.”
“In light of this, Qingyun Sect’s composure is indeed within reason.”
After Lin Tianming finished speaking, Zhou Yunxiao and the others all nodded in agreement, finding this explanation quite acceptable.
For a time, everyone fell silent, each absorbed in their strategic contemplations.
After a long while, Lu Xingfeng sighed in resignation and finally broke the silence.
