Chapter 563: Honesty
General Zhennan’s Mansion, reception room.
You Hongling and Fukong sat as host and guest.
"Could it be that General Zhennan has another distinguished guest visiting today?" Hearing the melodious bell sounds outside, Fukong asked curiously.
"That's right. Actually, this person has some grudges with General Zhenxi." You Hongling replied.
"Oh!" Fukong was stunned when he heard that, and then his face changed slightly and he asked, "Are you referring to Qin Ziling?"
"Yes, he had already made an appointment with me to visit me today. I didn't expect that General Zhenxi would also come to visit today. But it's a good thing this way. It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. You two meet unexpectedly today, so why don't you sit down and have a good chat to see if you can resolve the grudge between you two." You Hongling said.
"General Zhennan, you're joking too much! He killed four of my disciples, and you want me to resolve the grudge with him?" Fukong's face darkened.
"General Zhenxi should be very clear about who is right and who is wrong in this matter. This is how the world is, the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and the strong are respected. Your four disciples are not as capable as others, but they first bullied others and then attacked their habitat. In my opinion, it is better for such disciples to die.
Otherwise, one day, you will provoke a more powerful and vicious person, and you, as the master, will probably be buried with him. Now it's better to change to Qin Ziling, at least he still has some sense, and he is not a bloodthirsty and murderous person.
Although you are now a second-grade true immortal, he was able to kill Xue Yun and suppress Biteng. You should know very well that even if he is not as good as you, it will not be easy for you to deal with him.
Besides, you are now the General of Zhenxi, so you should also put the overall situation first. In recent years, the king has been trying to comprehend the third great catastrophe of wind and fire, and he does not want any more trouble to happen in Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land. "You Hongling said.
"If I don't deal with him, someone else will." Fukong stood up, bowed to You Hongling and said, "Since General Zhennan has a guest, Fukong will take his leave first!"
"I mean well. Since General Zhenxi doesn't appreciate it, I won't keep you here!" You Hongling stood up calmly and escorted Fukong out of the general's mansion.
As soon as the two of them left the general's mansion, they saw a fairy boat flying towards them from afar.
Fukong looked at the man standing at the bow of the boat facing the wind with his eyes as sharp as knives. A trace of cold murderous intent emanated from him, spreading between heaven and earth.
"That's floating in the air!" Xiong Xiaoli's heart trembled, and he whispered to Qin Ziling.
"It's him!" Qin Ziling looked up into the air with a calm expression, as if he didn't care at all about the murderous intent that the second-grade True Immortal had released towards him.
A chariot, pulled by six demon birds, took off from the square in front of the Zhennan General's Mansion.
The chariot met the immortal boat and hovered in the air.
"A terrestrial immortal in the late stage of infant immortal can actually make such a big fuss. You are a genius rarely seen in a century! It's a pity that geniuses often die because they are too sharp and don't know how to advance or retreat." Fukong said.
"Thank you for the compliment, General Zhenxi, but there is one thing I want to make clear. It's not that I don't know how to advance or retreat, but someone is coming to kill me and there is no way to retreat, so I can only grit my teeth and fight my way out." Qin Ziling said.
"I hope you can fight your way out next time!" Fukong said coldly.
"I will definitely not let General Zhenxi down!" Qin Ziling bowed.
"Hmph!" Fukong snorted coldly, and the six demon birds pulled the chariot away through the air.
"It seems that the hatred between you two can never be resolved!" You Hongling stepped forward and said with a frown.
"Thank you General You for your concern, but there's nothing we can do about it." Qin Ziling said with a bow.
"Let's talk about it after we enter the mansion!" You Hongling shook her head helplessly, and then invited Qin Ziling into the general's mansion.
The two of them entered the reception room of the general's mansion and sat down as host and guest.
"I'm new here, and I hope you'll accept this small token of my appreciation, General!" Qin Ziling personally presented a gift list and a storage ring.
"Master Qin, you are too polite." You Hongling did not refuse. She took the gift list and glanced at it. Her eyelids twitched slightly. Then she put away the gift list and the storage ring. She thought to herself, this Qin Ziling is quite sensible and generous.
"It's my duty. If it weren't for General You, who is upholding justice in the southern waters, I would not dare to lead an army to attack the Blood Cloud Fairy Island." Qin Ziling said modestly.
When Qin Ziling mentioned the attack on Blood Cloud Fairy Island, You Hongling's expression changed subtly.
More than half a year ago, You Hongling could never have expected that Qin Ziling would actually lead an army to attack the Blood Cloud Fairy Island!
"You should know now that Xueyun is the seventh master of the Blood Evil Palace, right?" You Hongling asked.
"Yes." Qin Ziling nodded, his expression turned solemn.
"More than half a year ago, you were able to trap and kill Xueyun with Qingyun Fairy Island as your base. Now that you have occupied Xueyun Fairy Island, given that Xueyun Fairy Island is far superior to Qingyun Fairy Island in terms of conditions, I think if you really make good arrangements, you should be able to withstand the attack of a second-grade True Immortal.
So, if the people coming from the Blood Evil Hall are only those below the Second Hall Master, I am not worried because you have the right time, right place, and right people. But if the people coming are the Great Hall Master or the Second Hall Master of the Blood Evil Hall, then it will be more difficult. "You Hongling said.
"Pingyu Mountain blessed land is the king's territory after all. I don't think the king will stand idly by, right?" Qin Ziling said.
"The king will naturally not stand idly by, otherwise anyone can come to Pingyu Mountain to kill his people, how can he convince the people? But the king also has his own interests to consider.
The Blood Demon Palace is powerful, and the King has been preparing for the third wind and fire catastrophe in recent years. He certainly doesn't want to have a big conflict with the Blood Demon Palace. If only people below the Second Palace Master come, even if you can't defeat them, the King will come out to intimidate them.
But if the first and second hall masters come, the king will definitely weigh the pros and cons. If you show that you are worthy of him coming, he will come, otherwise he will just go through the motions. "You Hongling said very frankly.
The reason why she was so frank was that, on the one hand, she knew that Qin Ziling was extremely smart and had a plan for everything, and there was no point in being mysterious and beating around the bush with him; on the other hand, she had a good impression of Qin Ziling, especially the gift list just now, which strengthened this impression.
"Value, do you mean strength?" Qin Ziling said.
"That's right. The stronger we are, the stronger the king's power will be. The more we can do for him, the more valuable we will be to him.
"Since the Blood Cloud Demon has a special status, we will sit back and watch you trap and kill him, and also sit back and watch you attack the Blood Cloud Fairy Island. But if it were someone else, if it was Nanli or Fukong, we would definitely intervene to avoid the loss of True Immortal-level masters." You Hongling said.
"Thank you General You for your guidance. I understand!" Qin Ziling bowed.
"You are a smart person. You will understand these things whether I say them or not." You Hongling said.
…
Qin Ziling stayed in the General Zhennan's Mansion for a while, then got up to say goodbye, and then went to visit the generals Zhendong and Zhenbei, also staying for a short while.
As for King Zhu Run, Qin Ziling did not go there.
His identity is not qualified at the moment, and he can only go when Zhu Run actively summons him.
After a circle, Qin Ziling returned to the Blood Cloud Fairy Island.
The Blood Cloud Fairy Island was a busy scene at this time.
Some people were carving talismans on the mountain-like crystal stones, some were constantly making identical sword talismans, some were carving talismans on the Xuanmu Jingshi pillars, some were laying underground connections to the earth veins, some were placing the prepared array equipment into the earth veins, some were mining, and some were casting spells to bring rain and dew on the Medicine Mountain...
Tens of thousands of people were busy, and most of them were busy setting up the Small Tiangang Disha Formation and the Small Four Symbols Zhuxian Formation.
As soon as Qin Ziling returned to the Blood Cloud Fairy Island, he also devoted some of his energy to setting up the formation.
It is very likely that someone from the Blood Evil Palace will come in the near future. Qin Ziling certainly cannot pin his hopes on King Zhu Run, he must still rely on himself.
As time goes by, the progress of the formation is increasing day by day.
Soon, the time came when General Zhenxi would hold a second-grade True Immortal Banquet.
Qingyun Fairy Island did not send anyone to attend, and did not even send any gifts.
Fukong was naturally extremely angry about this matter, and he almost couldn't help wanting to lead an army to attack Qingyun Fairy Island, but he finally gave up.
Apart from Qingyun Fairy Island, Murong Chu, the owner of Kaiming Fairy Island, did not go there in person on the grounds of practicing in seclusion, and only sent a guardian.
This matter naturally annoyed Fukong.
The last time he extended an olive branch to Murong Chu and wanted to recruit her as his disciple, she refused.
This time he hosted a second-grade True Immortal Banquet, but she actually didn't come in person, claiming that she was in seclusion practicing. This really embarrassed him a bit.
"Send a message to Murong Chu, I don't care whether she is in seclusion or doing anything else. I will only give her another half a year. Either she joins my sect or she dies!" After the banquet, Fukong said to Bai Xuan.
"Yes, Master!" Bai Xuan was greatly encouraged when he heard the words, bowed and took the order and left.
He had been extremely unhappy after being rejected by Murong Chu last time.
One day, Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing were meditating in the main hall. Suddenly, something moved in his mind. He took out the communicator and glanced at it. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to himself: "Fukong, Fukong, it seems that sooner or later I will kill you!"
Now the headquarters of Wujimen has been moved to Xueyun Fairy Island, but for the safety of Qingyun Fairy Island, Qicai is still in Qingyun Fairy Island for the time being.
With the island protection formation and the seven colors, if anything really happens, Qin Ziling will be able to arrive before Qingyun Fairy Island is breached.
"What's wrong with floating in the air?" Xiao Qing slowly opened his eyes and asked.
Qin Ziling casually handed the communicator to Xiao Qing.
"What are your plans? If it doesn't work, just move Murong Chu and her people to Wuji Fairy Island. Anyway, the territory here is large and full of fairy spirit." Xiao Qing said.
The people from Wujimen have already changed the name of Blood Cloud Fairy Island, but it has not been officially announced to the public yet.
"That's not necessary, and we can't let Fukong get away with it for nothing." Qin Ziling stood up and said, "I'm going to Kaiming Fairy Island. Half a year later, if Fukong really dares to attack Kaiming Fairy Island, I'll make him lose face."
"Are you planning to go to Kaiming Fairy Island to set up the formation?" Xiao Qing said with his eyes slightly shining.
"Hehe, Kaiming Fairy Island is much stronger than Qingyun Fairy Island, and Murong Chu is a rich woman with plenty of resources. It should not be difficult to set up a large formation to protect the island. After the formation is set up, I will let Murong Chu overturn the table and join my sect with a clear banner. Then we will see what Fukong will do?" Qin Ziling said.
