Chapter 776: Chapter 563: Reunion of the Two Southern Hong Sect Masters_4

By now, the grand plan was half successful.

As early as a hundred thousand years ago, his father had discovered that in Hongze, no matter how much power his people amassed, they could never overpower an Immortal.

To have the strength to overturn the table, one needed to borrow power.

The power to stop an Immortal naturally had to be borrowed from heaven.

As the Purple-Bearded White Dragon, what she most possessed was time. With substantial support from the East Dragon Palace, taking control of Western Hong was almost a certainty.

Qi Da would, of course, play his small tricks.

But the price he could pay, Zi Xian could easily afford even more.

For instance, An Tingfeng, whom the other party always wanted to win over, desired the soul-extending item that only the East Dragon Palace could afford.

Thus, Zi Xian seldom felt any obstacles.

As long as she didn’t stir up too much trouble to awaken the Western Dragon King, it would be fine.

But now, she truly sensed that the entire situation was developing towards uncontrollability, with various forces inexplicably intervening. From the news received from her niece, aside from the others, the East Dragon Palace was even helping to shield the Yue Family’s sight...

"Sigh."

She exhaled deeply, a smile quickly spreading across her face as she looked up, "You’re here?"

In the splendid chamber, a figure in plain white slowly materialized.

Ji Jingxi didn’t wait for an invitation, seating herself in a side chair before softly saying, "I just saw Shen Yi."

"Shen Yi?"

Zi Xian subtly raised an eyebrow, wondering why the word Sect Master had been omitted.

"He’s doing well." Ji Jingxi nodded.

"Is that so?"

Zi Xian tugged at the corner of her rosy lips, her palm resting on the letter that had come from her niece. This "doing well" Sect Master Shen had just formed a deadly feud on behalf of the Seven Sons of South Hong and the Yue Family.

After a moment, she moved her hand away.

Well, considering the young man had defended her honor the last time, she decided not to speak ill of him behind his back this time.

Besides, given Jingxi’s personality, she probably wouldn’t appreciate such behavior.

"Look at this."

Zi Xian smoothly picked out another Jade Slip, tossing it lightly, "I need your help indeed, but my thoughts are also with you."

"Hmm?" Ji Jingxi caught the Jade Slip, scrutinizing it carefully, then frowned slightly.

"My subordinates received news that the old phoenix of Western Hong has set its sights on your newly acquired reinforcement." Zi Xian smiled softly, her control over Western Hong allowing her to forewarn the Seven Sons of South Hong of many troubles.

"How about it? Should I send someone to warn it?"

"No need, I’ll go."

Ji Jingxi slowly stood up. The Yunhe Sect had just dispatched many cultivators to South Hong to assess the situation, and at such a time, no mishaps could occur.

It would be more reassuring for her to make the trip herself.

"Thank you."

"I’ve told you, there’s no need to be formal with me. After all, your staying is also to help me."

Zi Xian didn’t retain her this time. Rather than words, what she needed to continuously show was her value to the Seven Sons of South Hong, ensuring Jingxi would keep returning to her side.

It happened to send that lad Shen back to South Hong.

Zi Xian was in an exceptionally good mood now, her earlier anxieties swept away completely.

"..."

Though Ji Jingxi appeared young and was indeed exceptionally beautiful, having been a sect master for so many years, she didn’t miss the subtleties of Zi Xian’s thoughts.

She simply couldn’t understand... why the people of the East Dragon Palace, with all their good intentions, always had some incomprehensible quirks that made it really hard to let one’s guard down and get close.

Even, even considering her last rhetorical question, it seemed she was also competing with Sect Master Shen for attention.

The mere thought seemed absurd to Ji Jingxi. What exactly was going on in Zi Xian’s mind?

Her smile held more helplessness as she said, "Then, I will take my leave."
