Chapter 29 A Great Victory
"This sect master was originally a first-grade Golden Core cultivator, but relying on the foundation of my Cangyun Sect, I have now reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. Doesn't that prove it?"
Qiu Fan nodded; he believed it, but also found it unbelievable.
"Could it be that the Cangyun Sect is not as simple as it seems? If even the sect leader is so cunning, the sect must be hiding a lot."
Seeing Qiu Fan deep in thought, Li Chang'an was about to leave, but in the blink of an eye, he was drawn to a dusty book on the bookshelf.
He pointed to the book.
"That book looks very old. Could it be the legendary, peerless martial arts manual that was left behind in a corner?"
Thinking this, he patted Qiu Fan on the shoulder.
"Elder Qiu, don't think about anything else for now. Do you know the origin of that cultivation technique?"
Looking in the direction Li Chang'an pointed, Qiu Fan shook his head and smiled.
"Sect Leader Li, what kind of cultivation technique is that? It's just some array formation insights left behind by Liu Yishui before his death!"
Upon hearing that it was Liu Yishui's insight into the formation, Li Chang'an's eyes lit up, but he pretended to be disdainful.
"The array formation insights left behind by Liu Yishui? What good could that be!"
"We cannot allow such a corrupt formation to be passed down through generations. Therefore, I, the sect master, will reluctantly keep it for the time being!"
He raised his hand, channeled his spiritual power, and the book of Liu Yishui's insights into array formations flew into his palm.
Qiu Fan rolled his eyes at Li Chang'an. Li Chang'an's actions were not something that he found shameful or disgusting, but he was just a little puzzled.
"Who exactly is Sect Leader Li trying to impress with this?"
Just as Qiu Fan was pondering, Li Chang'an cleared his throat and faced Qiu Fan, whose face was full of disbelief.
"Elder Qiu, there's nothing good here. Let's leave."
Qiu Fan rolled his eyes, nodded, and walked out of the cave.
As he left, Qiu Fan couldn't help but feel a deep sense of unease.
"They even go so far as to criticize the former sect leader's insights into formations, yet they still claim that the Qinglan Sect is full of bad stuff. Is this sect leader's brain attacking his cerebellum?"
But he dared not say these words aloud.
Soon, the two left the place, and Xu Kai cupped his hands in greeting to Li Chang'an outside.
"Sect Master Li, I have just selected a few Foundation Establishment stage disciples with good aptitude, all of whom have been cultivating for less than fifty years."
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded.
"These disciples will be entrusted to Elder Xu to take to the Cangyun Sect."
Xu Kai agreed.
Immediately, Li Chang'an looked at Qiu Fan beside him and threw a blue stone out of his storage ring.
This blue stone is called the Sound Transmission Stone, a second-tier spiritual artifact that can transmit sound over a radius of a thousand miles.
"Elder Qiu, you are familiar with the Qinglan Sect here, so please let you temporarily manage the disciples here!"
"Everything remains the same. Just contact the sect leader if you need anything."
Upon hearing Li Chang'an's words, Qiu Fan's eyes lit up with joy. He stopped thinking about what Li Chang'an had just said and stopped considering what kind of strange person Li Chang'an was.
Hahaha--
Qiu Fan was very happy.
"Liu Yishui, you died just in time. You made me rise from the position of elder to the head of the branch."
Seeing Qiu Fan's smug look, Xu Kai frowned. He understood this matter much better than the obtuse Qiu Fan.
Xu Kai shook his head, sighed, and thought to himself.
"Hopefully, this guy can hold on a little longer; that way, he can at least save his life."
Xu Kai glanced at the Foundation Establishment disciples again, stepped forward, and said in a kind tone.
"Let's go to the main sect of Cangyun Sect. That will be your new home."
After Xu Kai finished speaking, he looked at the group of disciples and couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.
"Isn't this Cangyun Sect also my home?"
The group left with Xu Kai.
Li Chang'an had not yet left. He found Ning Hanruo and silently recited something to the system.
"System, make the investment. I want to invest the storage rings and third-tier spiritual artifacts of these Golden Core cultivators from the Qinglan Sect into Ning Hanruo."
Immediately, Li Chang'an took out his storage ring and was about to hand these items over to Ning Hanruo.
"Elder Ning, you have made great contributions in this battle against Qinglan Sect."
"Take these spoils!"
Ning Hanruo did not refuse. She accepted the heavy storage ring and smiled.
"Sect Leader Li, I am surprised that you haven't forgotten me."
"How could we dare! Elder Ning is an indispensable fighting force for our Cangyun Sect."
Hearing Li Chang'an's affirmation, Ning Hanruo looked him up and down, and then recalled the scene of Li Chang'an saving the day during her battle with Lei Wu.
Her face flushed slightly as she spoke.
"Okay...I understand."
As soon as the words were spoken, Ning Hanruo accepted Li Chang'an's storage ring.
[Name: Ning Hanruo]
[Realm Level: Great Completion of the Golden Core Stage]
[Talent: Average (3 stars)]
[Fortune: Blue (Blessed by the Cangyun Sect) Three years later, when the Cangyun Sect is destroyed, he will die and his cultivation will dissipate.]
evaluate……
Seeing the change in Ning Hanruo's luck column, Li Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although we failed to prevent the sect's destruction this time, and we did not avenge the original owner's master, we at least bought the Cangyun Sect a chance to breathe."
After thinking it over, Li Chang'an's eyes softened as he looked at Ning Hanruo.
Ning Hanruo's expression turned icy cold at this moment.
"We can return to the sect now, and then announce this great victory of the Qinglan Sect to the entire sect."
"This will dispel the gloom of the previous sect leader's death, and it will also be the opportunity for the rise of my Cangyun Sect."
Li Chang'an couldn't help but chuckle at Ning Hanruo's beautiful fantasy, but he still nodded.
"That's what I think too."
Immediately, the two transformed into streams of spiritual energy and headed towards the Cangyun Sect.
In a city within the Cangyun Sect's territory, in a secluded tavern, there were hardly any people.
A man in black stood out from the crowd.
"I must obtain that ancient sword; not a word of it can be leaked!"
Inside the restaurant, an overweight manager brought over a pot of decades-old aged wine.
"Young Master Lin, your wine is here."
The man in black was pondering when he was interrupted by the steward, which naturally displeased him. He waved his hand, signaling the steward to leave immediately.
It was already evening when Li Chang'an returned to the Cangyun Sect. He was beaming with pride, and the entire Cangyun Sect was brightly lit.
At the Cangyun Sect's Beichen Square, several large platters of delicious cooked spirit beast meat were laid out on the dining table, along with a variety of fruits, vegetables, and fine wines. The disciples were completely drunk, and everything seemed to be going very well.
Sitting quietly in the main seat, Li Chang'an's complexion gradually became rosy. He looked at the statue of the former sect leader Ren Haotian standing in Beichen Square and fell into deep thought.
A brief moment of contemplation led him to immerse himself in the original owner's memories.
"Today was probably the most... the most comfortable day I've had in the past few days."
"This is how a leader of a sect should be!"
Li Chang'an's head was spinning a little, his mind reveling in the sweet embrace of victory.
But a sudden, mechanical voice from the system dispelled most of Li Chang'an's drunkenness.
