Qingfeng Sect.

The Sect Master looked gravely at the decree issued under the name of Central State.

The involvement of Qingfeng Sect in the matter of evil cultivators was already a fact, as there was sufficient evidence.

How to handle this next was of utmost importance, and a clean break was necessary.

But according to the decree from Central State, Shangguan Hong and Elder Li, among others, were involved with the Evil Spirit Sect.

This meant nearly half of Qingfeng Sect's elders would have to be dealt with...

For Qingfeng Sect, this was an unbearable loss.

However, this was still considered fortunate, as it was heard that Wind Sword Sect... had scattered and fled, and their sect's ruins had been sealed by Central State.

Though it was said to be sealed by Central State, it was actually Central State ordering other sects to cooperate, with Tianyan Sect disciples leading the operation.

The real people from Central State were expected to arrive in a few days.

Those two disciples from Tianyan Sect had thoroughly investigated the matter.

All the disciples of Wind Sword Sect who hadn't escaped were likely lining up for punishment, with people waiting to pry open their mouths to see if other sects were involved.

If they could extract information about other opposing sects being involved, wouldn't that be a free gain?

After all, if the other side lost and they didn't, it was a gain!

It was rumored that Wind Sword Sect served as a resource hub, holding information on whether other sects were involved.

At this moment, which nearby sect wasn't in a precarious situation?

Qingfeng Sect wasn't being fully investigated, probably because Central State didn't want to make a big deal out of it, as long as everyone could get by.

Some matters, if not weighed, wouldn't be heavier than a goose feather, but if weighed, even a mountain wouldn't be much.

The matter of evil cultivators was just like that.

Sighing, the Sect Master tucked the decree into his sleeve. Difficult as it was, it had to be done.

He got up and walked outside, glancing at the hall being rebuilt.

Recently, Qingfeng Sect had been truly unlucky.

However, for the Sect Master, it wasn't all bad news.

At least that damned scoundrel Zheng Xiaofeng was really taken away by Tianyan Sect.

In those days, that kid didn't have a single normal word out of his mouth, and regardless of the occasion, he would start cursing.

The prestige he had built up over many years was almost entirely lost in those few days.

His behavior was extremely arrogant, and to be honest, if the people from Tianyan Sect hadn't come in two more days, the Sect Master would have personally taken that kid's head.

Consider that kid lucky, as the Tianyan Sect disciple kept his word.

Without Zheng Xiaofeng, the Sect Master felt much more at ease.

The Sect Master asked the foreman in charge of the repairs, "How many more days until the hall is fully repaired?"

The foreman recalled the initial state of the Qingfeng Sect hall, which had become ruins.

He didn't know what the immortals were thinking; in their eyes, this was called reconstruction.

The foreman cautiously replied, "Even rushing, it will take over five months..."

"Five months?!" The Sect Master said angrily, "Add more people and money, and hurry it up!"

The foreman wanted to say that adding people wouldn't solve the problem, but facing the Sect Master, he could only nod in agreement...

"Hmm, looking around, Qingfeng Sect's architecture is indeed unique, even beautiful."

A familiar male voice came.

The Sect Master's gaze snapped to the source, seeing a male disciple from Tianyan Sect, looking around with satisfaction.

At this moment, the Sect Master had only one thought in his mind—what bad luck!

Although he knew it wasn't the fault of the disciples guarding the gate, as Chu Xingchen had shown his face enough in those two days.

But the Sect Master still wanted to severely punish today's disciples! How did they let this person in?

Mainly because when leaving, Chu Xingchen was the one who threw harsh words, and the Sect Master was already at a slight disadvantage facing him.

Now that Qingfeng Sect was truly in trouble, this person coming at this time certainly wouldn't bring good news.

However, no matter how much he disliked it, he had to receive him.

Reluctantly, the Sect Master cupped his hands, "May I ask, Dao..."

"Hey!" Chu Xingchen extended his hand, revealing the solid Nascent Soul aura within him;

"Don't call me Daoist friend, call me senior."

Qingfeng Sect Master: "..."

Indeed, this brat was even more annoying than Zheng Xiaofeng!

This also confirmed one thing for the Qingfeng Sect Master—he needed to find a clever young disciple to take on the role of reception elder.

Dealing with these people he couldn't afford to offend, he always felt like he was being treated like a subordinate.

The Sect Master took a deep breath, continued to cup his hands, and asked, "May I ask, senior, what brings you to Qingfeng Sect? Hasn't Elder Zheng already been taken away?"

Chu Xingchen looked at the hall being constructed, nodded with satisfaction, and then questioned:

"What? Is it difficult for you to do something for Tianyan Sect?"

"Of course not..."

"Good! Then there's something I'd like to ask for your help with."

The Qingfeng Sect Master became cautious, could it be that he intended to interfere with the matters concerning the elders of Qingfeng Sect?

He cautiously asked, "May I ask what the senior needs?"

Chu Xingchen replied, "Building a house, you front the money, and provide the people."

The scene fell silent, even the foreman looked awkwardly at Chu Xingchen...

This person was just short of saying "get it for free."

Not getting the response he wanted, Chu Xingchen looked dissatisfied at the Sect Master and said:

"What? Can't command Qingfeng Sect anymore?"

After a brief consideration, the Sect Master replied, "If Tianyan Sect needs help, we naturally won't refuse, but..."

Being in charge means accounting for things, rebuilding the hall costs a lot, and the houses damaged by the falling peaks also need repairs.

If there's a large gap in elders, it will also cost many Spirit Stones to cultivate Foundation Establishment disciples.

With so many things, where doesn't it cost money?

This kid was too cunning; if he agreed blindly and got swindled, Qingfeng Sect would be in trouble.

"If you put it that way, then it can't be said like that." Chu Xingchen showed dissatisfaction, and the Nascent Soul pressure slightly pressed on the Sect Master, coldly saying;

"Your Qingfeng Sect assisted evil cultivators in capturing people to mine, refining Blood Qi Spirit Stones..."

The Sect Master quickly interrupted, "Wait... everything can be negotiated."

"Can you help now?"

"I can help, but can it wait until the hall is repaired?"

"Sect Master, then let's first talk about your Qingfeng Sect..."

Suppressing his inner anger, the Sect Master gritted his teeth and interrupted, "Tianyan Sect first!"

Chu Xingchen corrected, "What do you mean by Tianyan Sect? This has nothing to do with Tianyan Sect! This is my personal request."

The Sect Master looked speechlessly at Chu Xingchen, thinking how the sects from Central State were even more shameless than them country folks?

No wonder they had such a big reputation in Central State, while Qingfeng Sect could only stay in a remote place.

Asking for help, yet not wanting to owe a favor.

Truly shameless, but under the eaves, one must bow.

Fine, consider it a transaction, exchanging for some elders to remain in Qingfeng Sect wasn't a loss.

The Sect Master forced a smile on his aged face:

"Alright... it's just doing this for senior."
