Pei Junhong had long anticipated this outcome.

It was rumored that Dongfang Qing used to be quite slovenly, but after becoming the Zuo Sect Leader, he completely changed his previous disheveled appearance.

He became a handsome gentleman of great elegance.

The reason he used to dress that way was entirely to conceal his own strength.

"Sister, I too have failed. Our secret has been leaked, and I don’t know who betrayed our plan."

Pei Junhong frowned.

A flash of anger crossed her face.

Qin Qi looked shocked, knowing that only he and Sister Pei Junhong were aware of the plan.

How could the plan have been leaked?

Both returned to the Red Dust Residence, disheartened.

Trying to find clues about the leak of their scheme.

With Pei Junhong’s strength, she could sense anyone coming within a hundred kilometers of the Red Dust Residence.

This secret shouldn’t have been heard by anyone.

Pei Junhong stood in the Red Dust Residence, her intelligent gaze looking out the window.

Outside the window was a rainbow bridge, underneath which a river flowed.

"Could it be that a fish in the river became a spirit and took this secret to Tianyong Mountain?"

Pei Junhong muttered to herself.

Qin Qi thought for a moment; this was indeed possible.

"Sister, do you have any other methods to deal with Wang Ye?"

She was determined to win the position of Leader of the Blackwater Alliance.

Even though she faced failure now, she had no intention of giving up.

Pei Junhong didn’t respond; she poured a pot of tea and brewed a cup.

Her intelligent eyes moved nimbly.

After a long time, she spoke to Qin Qi through their shared thoughts.

"Sister, there is a hidden master in this Blackwater Secret Realm who excels in feng shui and fate techniques. You might find him on Wuyou Mountain. This person has a bit of history with your sister and might be willing to help you."

"Mm, thank you, Sister!"

Qin Qi’s originally dull eyes brightened once more.

Then she dashed towards Wuyou Mountain.

...

Heaven God Temple.

Dongfang Qing sat in the Zuo Sect Leader’s position, a smile at the corner of his mouth.

That Qin Qi had been quite scared by him just now.

Humph, and she dares to compete with the Sect Master.

Thinking of Qin Qi’s earlier demeanor, Dongfang Qing couldn’t help but laugh.

"I wonder how the Sect Master plans to deal with Pei Junhong?"

At this moment, the Heaven God Temple was illuminated with a blue light as Wang Ye appeared within.

Wang Ye was slightly intoxicated at the moment.

Still practicing the Spring Breeze Drunken Steps.

Seeing Wang Ye, Dongfang Qing felt delighted, thinking Pei Junhong’s plan had likely failed.

Watching Wang Ye’s peculiar steps, even the clever Dongfang Qing couldn’t predict his next move.

"Congratulations to the Sect Master for learning another powerful Cultivation Technique."

"Sect Master, did you manage to escape from Pei Junhong?"

Quite curious, knowing Pei Junhong possessed the power of a Demigod.

It was remarkable the Sect Master could retreat unscathed.

"Yes, and I must thank Master Xia for that."

Wang Ye paused the Spring Breeze Drunken Steps, still feeling a bit fearful.

Pei Junhong’s power was too formidable, and had it not been for learning in advance from Xia Yurou that she intended harm,

he likely would have fallen into her trap.

Pei Junhong was known to bear grudges; after this humiliation, she certainly wouldn’t let it go.

"Qin Qi is Qin Tianba’s daughter; she’ll surely come hassle us again, so we must prepare a good strategy."

Wang Ye gazed at the stars outside.

Speaking wisely.

Dongfang Qing nodded.

"I’ve learned quite a bit about Qin Qi. She’s someone who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals."

"She’s bound to return."

"Currently, Tianyong Mountain has only one weak point, the dragon veins."

"If the dragon veins are broken, the Spiritual Energy on Tianyong Mountain will spill out, so in the coming days, I’ll have people focus on protecting the dragon veins."

After pondering for a while.

Dongfang Qing spoke earnestly.

The art of feng shui, it seems valid.

It was rumored that Qingyun Sect was on a piece of extremely good feng shui land, hence producing many talents.

Tianyong Mountain’s feng shui was also quite good, surrounded by green water in the front, and fortified by Male Mountain behind.

"Indeed, the dragon veins should be well-guarded."

"But this is rather passive."

Lately, we’ve been passively defending all the while.

The ancients said the best defense is a good offense.

Why not attack this Qin Qi?

"Alright, if Qin Qi really dares to come excavate the dragon veins, we’ll ensure he comes but cannot leave."

Dongfang Qing pondered.

Catching Qin Qi might prove challenging.

Given the Blackwater Secret Realm abounds with Qin Tianba’s minions.

Like a centipede, resistant to death or injury.

The best strategy is to wait for Qin Qi to fall into our trap.

Subsequently, Dongfang Qing designed a trap at the site of the dragon veins.

Setting up a web of heavenly nets at the dragon veins.

...

Wuyou Mountain, Wuyou Pavilion.

This particular pavilion appeared simple, looking quite ordinary.

A middle-aged man clad in white lay on a recliner, leisurely fanning himself, with an extremely carefree demeanor.

Outside the building, many knelt.

"Senior Wuyou, if you can alter my destiny, I’m willing to be your servant."

A young man knelt outside the pavilion.

He had been kneeling outside the pavilion for more than ten days.

Trying to move Wuyou Zi with sincerity.

In this past millennium, the youth Lu Hansheng had encountered numerous misfortunes.

He seemed to be at the mercy of fate all along.

Only this past month did he realize that his struggles in life stemmed from his cursed destiny.

Whenever he wanted to immerse himself in cultivation, beauties would appear.

These beauties would unsettle him, preventing focused cultivation.

But when he desired a passionate romance, no woman would pay him any attention.

He no longer wanted to live such a miserable life.

Desperately needed Wuyou Zi to change his destiny.

"Senior Wuyou Zi, I beg you to help me."

A well-dressed middle-aged man pleaded earnestly outside the door.

Behind him were many subordinates, bringing countless Spirit Jade and rare treasures.

All in the hope that Wuyou Zi would avert his crisis.

Five hundred years ago, he was obscure, later aided unintentionally by Wuyou Zi.

Since then, he rose steadily up the ranks.

Yet Wuyou Zi had said this name would only guarantee his prosperity for five hundred years.

Now that five hundred years had passed, this name’s fortune was at its end, leaving him anxious and seeking Wuyou Zi to bestow another name.

"Senior Wuyou Zi, please, I implore you."

Many knelt before the pavilion, waiting for Wuyou Zi to intervene.

At this moment, Qin Qi also appeared at Wuyou Mountain. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Why are so many people kneeling?"

Qin Qi glanced over the crowd.

Her lively eyes glancing around.

Seeing so many petitioning Wuyou Zi here, it was clear he had true capabilities.

She passed through the crowd, arriving before the pavilion, knocking gently on the door.

"Senior Wuyou Zi, Sister Pei Junhong sent me to find you..."

Knocking while speaking.

Inside the pavilion, Wuyou Zi on the recliner heard the mention of Pei Junhong.

His expression instantly became colorful, eyes shining brightly.

Pei Junhong was a woman he had secretly loved for thousands of years.

Such love was incredibly pure.

Regarding Pei Junhong’s matters, he naturally wouldn’t refuse.

With a flick of his finger, the tightly sealed door opened.
