Chapter 296 Please, be less kind to me!
Meanwhile, at the residence of Pang Quan, the third elder of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect.
Having just returned from the main hall, he hurriedly went home and summoned his most talented third son and two of his personal disciples to his room.
"Father, what happened? Why did you summon us back in such a hurry? Is something big about to happen in the sect?" Pang Gu asked Pang Quan with a puzzled look.
Two of his personal disciples, Xu Yun and Taishan, also turned their attention to Pang Quan.
They are now all elders of the outer academy of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect. They are usually very busy and have nothing to do, so Pang Quan would never allow them to come over.
Hearing his son's question, Pang Quan chuckled and waved his hand, saying:
"Relax, relax, it's a good thing."
"Please sit down."
Upon hearing the word "good news," Pang Gu and Taishan were overjoyed and sat down with smiles on their faces.
Xu Yun felt a tightness in his heart. Seven months ago, he would have been happy, but now he couldn't be happy at all.
Because he was branded with a slave mark by a mysterious man in black robes, he was forced to infiltrate the Azure Sea Immortal Sect to obtain its internal information.
Although it is uncertain which faction the person who placed the slave mark on him belonged to, it is certain that it was an enemy of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect.
In other words, he is now a traitor to the sect.
So what's a good thing for the sect is a bad thing for him.
How can I be happy?
As a seasoned veteran, Pang Quan naturally noticed Xu Yun's unnatural expression and asked with a smile, "Yun'er, I think there's something wrong with your expression."
Have you encountered any difficulties lately?
Don't keep it to yourself. Even though you are over 120 years old now, you are still a child in my eyes.
"If there's anything you need, just tell me. I'll definitely help if I can."
Xu Yun became his disciple at the age of sixteen, and a century has passed since then. The two share a very deep bond.
It was simply impossible for them to think that Xu Yun was a traitor.
But the more this happened, the more conflicted Xu Yun felt, the sadder he became, and the more he felt sorry for his master.
He even considered ending his life, but he couldn't.
Because he is not alone; he has a wife, children, and grandchildren. Without his protection, what will his family do?
Therefore, he cannot die, and he cannot be exposed.
He chuckled and cried, and said:
"Master, I'm fine. I'm just a little frustrated because I haven't been able to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."
Hearing Xu Yun's words, Pang Quan sighed, "Yun'er, I am very gratified to have watched you progress from Qi Refining to where you are today."
However, the path of cultivation ultimately depends on one's innate qualities and destiny.
The reason you're unable to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment isn't because you're not working hard enough, but because your potential is about to be exhausted.
You should know this better than I do.
"But don't worry, I will definitely ask Elder Dan for a top-grade second-tier Meridian Tempering and Profound Understanding Pill for you in the future, so that you can break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."
He patted Xu Yun on the shoulder to comfort her.
Hearing this, Xu Yun felt even more guilty.
The price of the Meridian Tempering and Profound Understanding Pill is no less than that of the Foundation Establishment Pill; it can be bought for about 25,000 low-grade spirit stones on the market.
For Xu Yun, a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, this was a huge sum of money.
Honestly, he now really wishes his master had treated him worse.
But I know that's simply impossible.
He could only say with gratitude, "Thank you, Master, but I am unworthy of such a gift."
"If possible, let's give the resources to Junior Brother Pang Gu. With sufficient resources, Junior Brother Gu's talent will surely allow him to break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment."
"How can this be? Senior Brother Yun, my father gave it to you, so just take it. We're family, why are you talking like family?"
"I've watched you grow up, and I don't want you to be stuck in the early stages of Foundation Establishment for the rest of your life." Pang Gu chuckled and moved to Xu Yun's side, hooking his right arm around his shoulder, showing no pretense whatsoever.
Xu Yun was deeply moved. You guys have been a bit too kind to me.
Fate is cruel, fate is cruel.
"Alright, it's settled then. I will approach Elder Dan two months from now to request the elixir," Pang Quan declared decisively.
He then changed the subject, saying, "I have summoned you here today because it is an important matter."
It has been confirmed that the sect will launch a night raid on the Su family a month later.
My Azure Sea Immortal Sect is destined for great prosperity this time, and will unify the Penglai Islands.
You should prepare well during this time, and it would be best to prepare some backup plans.
To avoid dying in the bloody battles with the Su and Zhang families later.
If you don't have enough spirit stones, you can borrow them from your master. Don't be shy about asking.
Remember, staying alive is more important than anything else!
"Excellent! Our Azure Sea Immortal Sect is finally going to rise up! Unifying the Penglai Islands has been the long-cherished wish of our sect's ancestors!"
Now it will be realized in our hands!
This will definitely be recorded in the sect's history!
"What bullshit, the Su family and the Zhang family, they will all become stepping stones for my sect!" Pang Gu stood up excitedly, waving his fists repeatedly, as if he could already see the scene of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect's great prosperity.
Taishan's eyes were also filled with the desire to make achievements and establish a career.
There is war, which means there are resources.
To avoid attracting attention, Xu Yun also pretended to be excited.
"Okay, everyone go back and prepare. Be ready to receive further instructions at any time."
"Understood, Father."
"Understood, Master."
……
The night was as dark as ink, and all was silent.
In a small grove of trees a thousand miles away from the Azure Sea Immortal Gate.
Xu Yun hid behind a large tree, waiting anxiously.
The next moment, a man in black robes appeared behind him like a ghost, with no aura around him, and looked just like an ordinary person.
Looking at Xu Yun, who had his back to him, the man in black robes whispered:
"Xu Yun, what happened at the Azure Sea Immortal Sect?"
Xu Yun was startled upon hearing the sound.
I was immediately covered in cold sweat.
When did you arrive?
How could I not have noticed when we were so close?
He quickly turned his head and looked at the black-robed man who was only three meters away.
A deep sense of fear rose in my heart.
If the other party wanted to kill me, I would have died a hundred times over.
Suppressing his fear, he spoke, "Shadow Master, I have received information that the Azure Sea Immortal Sect will launch a night attack on the Su family in a month."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongqing's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice:
Is the news true?
"Absolutely true! This was said by my master himself, there's no way it could be wrong!"
