Heaven-defying Phoenix

The spacious and bright hall was dazzling in gold and jade. Hidden in the darkness, one could faintly sense the presence of an extremely powerful aura. However, the entire hall seemed exceptionally quiet at this moment, and there was even a hint of a repressive aura.    

    

Bai Huaxian was expressionless, and deep within her eyes appeared a dense amount of anger. Other than her, the remaining Sect Leader of the Supreme Purity Sect s of the Ling Yun Sect and Sect Leader of the Supreme Purity Sect s also had unsightly and even sullen expressions, as their gazes landed on Bai Huaxian.    

    

"Bai Huaxian, I don't know why you called us here, but we have something to discuss."    

    

In the end, the Sect Leader of the Supreme Purity Sect broke the silence and the cold voice sounded first.    

    

Not long ago, he and the Master of the Ling Yun Sect received Bai Huaxian's invitation at the same time, saying that they had something important to discuss. The two of them had already made a guess, but in the end, they did not object.    

    

Now that the Star God Pagoda was over, and the result exceeded their expectations, the Qin Kingdom's ranking had actually risen to first place. This caused the two great Master s to feel that the situation had become serious.    

    

The Qin Kingdom was himself a country's ruler. He had an enormous territory and limitless resources, which were much more than their three great sects. In the past, for so many years, the three great sect s had relied on their own strength to bully the Qin Kingdom, and now that the situation was completely reversed, they were all worried that the Qin Kingdom would settle this score later.    

    

And today, Bai Huaxian had invited them over, presumably to discuss this matter with them, they had long anticipated this, since after all, the person who had the deepest grudge with the Qin Kingdom was Bai Huaxian. Currently, the most urgent person was also Bai Huaxian.    

    

Two old foxes!    

    

Bai Huaxian was furious in her heart, she was unable to guess what the two old fellows were planning, she was just hoping that she would be the one to go the front, but in the end, she endured her anger and said coldly: "You two, now that the Qin Kingdom is number one, from now on, you have the authority to kill us sect cultivators, do you have any plans?"    

    

When Bai Huaxian made those words completely clear, the two great Master s immediately felt a chill in their hearts, especially the Master s of the Ling Yun Sect. They frowned, thought for a moment, then nodded: "I wonder what Palace Mistress is planning to do?"    

    

"I feel that safety is the priority. So what if our Qin Kingdom has won first place? When all three of us sect join forces, we would naturally not be afraid."    

    

Sect Leader of the Supreme Purity Sect thought for a while, and in the end, said something like that, in his tone, there was a hint of compromise.    

    

Bai Huaxian frowned, stared at the Sect Leader of the Supreme Purity Sect, and said coldly: "Old man, if you have something to say, say it clearly."    

    

"Temporarily restrain your disciples. Do not act recklessly. As for the rest, do as you please." Sect Leader of the Supreme Purity Sect explained.    

    

The meaning of these words were even more obvious, immediately causing Bai Huaxian's expression to become ugly. The Master s of the Ling Yun Sect also frowned, their faces full of hesitation.    

    

Compromise! How could this be possible!?    

    

Without even thinking about it, Bai Huaxian immediately refuted: "How could it be like this, old fellow, could it be that you have forgotten how we bullied Qin Kingdom all these years and how many cultivators died to my disciples? Do you think that Qin Kingdom is willing to live together with us willingly? If this goes on, in less than two years, our sect's reputation will be ruined, and even our sect will lose. "    

    

No matter what, Bai Huaxian would not agree to compromise with the Qin Kingdom, and furthermore, they had already accepted the enmity between the Hundred Flowers Palace and herself. Whether it was Qin Zheng or Jiu Muli, they would definitely not let her off.    

    

Bai Huaxian's words were extremely convincing, and even the Master s of the Cloudsoaring sect had a fierce look in their eyes as they stared at Bai Huaxian, and said, "Bai Huaxian, what countermeasures do you have? There's no harm in speaking bluntly."    

    

Bai Huaxian's face was gloomy, and threatened: "Do you two know of Qin Zheng's cultivation? The two times I fought with him, I suffered a loss. Could it be that you all think that with Qin Zheng's powerful attitude, you will let us go in the future? The only thing left to do now is for us to join hands and take the initiative to completely solve this problem.    

    

"You can't!"    

    

The Sect Leader of the Supreme Purity Sect's expression changed immediately and she anxiously said: "Bai Huaxian, calm down, it is true that we have enmity with Qin Zheng, although we were unhappy about it in the past, but in the end, we did not suffer much damage, how could Qin Zheng do anything crazy? Furthermore, if we were to fight, do you have confidence in killing Qin Zheng? If we can't kill him and incite him to come here, how can we bear it? "    

    

Taiqing Gate s were amongst the three great sect s, so they were relatively weak.    

    

"So you are saying that you are going to sit at the Qin Kingdom and watch him grow up?"    

    

Bai Huaxian's face darkened, she knew that the worst case scenario was right around the corner, she immediately added: "You two must think this through carefully, now that Qin Kingdom is not fully seated, and has not had enough time to cut him off, if it was just one or two years, the situation would not be as good as it is today."    

    

The three great sect s had been leading the wind and rain in the Qin Kingdom's territory all these years, enjoying their supreme glory. Now that they were in imminent danger, they were naturally not willing to give up.    

    

However, the fact that Qin Zheng was strong and his Qin Kingdom was able to stand his ground to this day made them feel hesitant.    

    

After a long while, he sighed and said, "Bai Huaxian, think twice, this is indeed no small matter. Unless you have the confidence to defeat Qin Zheng, there's nothing we can do."    

    

After saying that, he and Sect Leader of the Supreme Purity Sect looked at each other. They both understood what the other meant.    

    

Bai Huaxian's heart sank as he said angrily: "Does that mean the two of you have decided to settle this matter peacefully?"    

    

Bai Huaxian, you should also properly restrain your sect for a while. I will be going back now, to discuss with the many elders in the sect about this, and then take my leave.    

    

Sect Leader of the Supreme Purity Sect did not want to continue participating in this whirlpool, so he chose to leave right after.    

    

Seeing that the Sect Leader of the Supreme Purity Sect s had all left, the s of the Cloudsoaring sect threw down those words, went back to discuss the matter, and chose to leave as well.    

    

Seeing that, Bai Huaxian sunk into silence, she was so angry that she could not speak anymore.    

    

What she did not know was that, the moment the Master s of the Ling Yun Sect had walked out, they had already caught up to them.    

    

When Sect Leader of the Supreme Purity Sect saw this, he laughed: "Old fellow, what do you mean by this?"    

    

The Master of the Lingyun Sect sighed, and said: "A hard battle is definitely not appropriate. Fortunately, we have yet to have much enmity with the Qin Kingdom, so we were in a rush to repair the damage."    

    

Sect Leader of the Supreme Purity Sect looked at the old man in shock, "Eh, why do you suddenly have such a thought?"    

    

"Shut up, old fogey Tai Qing, do you really think that this old man does not understand your thoughts?!?!" Shut up, old fogey Tai Qing, do you really think that this old man does not understand your thoughts? The gaze of the Master s from the Ling Yun Sect were somewhat sinister and mocking.    

    

Qin Zheng is too strong, she wanted us two to share the pressure, she thought it through, but unfortunately, we do not have the strength to do so.    

    

"Forget it, I hope that you and I will not regret it in the future."    

    

The two of them had sighing looks on their faces.    

    

and Qin Zheng had a feud so they did not have any leeway to turn the situation around. However, the two great sects did not completely offend Qin Zheng, so they naturally did not want to completely fall out with him.    

    

After all, the Hundred Flowers Palace and Qin Zheng were like fire and water, and a battle in the future was unavoidable. If the Hundred Flowers Palace lost, and Qin Zheng, who had lost a great enemy, swelled his ambition to target them, then it would really be too late for them to regret.    

    

The only thing they could think of was to resolve the conflict from before. As for whether they would feed the tiger or not, neither of them could be sure for a moment!    

    

Therefore, right after Star God Pagoda had finished cultivating, not long after Jiu Muli had started cultivating, Director Chen had reported to him that there were emissaries from the Taiqing Gate and the Ling Yun Sect who had come to visit.    

    

When Jiu Muli found out, she was extremely surprised. However, when she arrived at the hall, she saw that Qin Zheng was also there, and under her command, the envoys of the Taiqing Gate and the Ling Yun Sect all looked at her amiably.    

    

The two of them did not hide their intention of coming here, but both of them had come with good intentions, wanting to resolve the misunderstanding between Qin Zheng and the Qin Kingdom. Not only that, they had even brought two great gifts.    

    

Jiu Muli's thoughts towards the two great sect s were completely clear. Naturally, Qin Zheng was not stupid, in the end, he expressed his willingness to accept their kind intentions, and very generously accepted them.    

    

"The world of cultivators is always so cruel and realistic!"    

    

After bringing the two emissaries away, Jiu Muli sighed in her heart. She did not believe that the Taiqing Gate and the Ling Yun Sect did not have any intentions of killing them, but they did not have the confidence to do so.    

    

And what made Jiu Muli even more worried, was that she did not believe that the real reason behind the actions of the two sect s were because they wanted to resolve the conflict between them and the Hundred Flowers Palace.    

    

Currently, it was unavoidable that this battle between the Hundred Flowers Palace and her had been completely filled with hatred. If something were to happen to Qin Zheng, the two sect s would definitely not hesitate to make their move as well.    

    

"They are forcing Bai Huaxian to take action!"    

    

Following the good relationship between the two major sects and Qin Zheng, it could be imagined that the current Bai Huaxian would definitely be extremely angry, and would definitely not be able to wait to cut off her and Qin Zheng.    

    

After all, what she lacked the most right now was time, and Bai Huaxian would definitely not allow her to continue growing up.    

    

Jiu Muli's prediction was definitely not wrong, at this time, Bai Huaxian was already so angry that he was about to go crazy.    

    

When she found out that the Taiqing Gate and the Lingyun Sect had chosen to befriend Qin Zheng, she felt that the matter had exceeded her expectations.    

    

"Dammit, two pieces of trash are useless!"    

    

Bai Huaxian scolded the two sect s until they were half dead, the anxiety in his heart was like ants on a hot pan.    

    

"Qin Zheng must die, Jiu Muli must die too!"    

    

Bai Huaxian gritted his teeth as he thought about it. If he continued to ignore them, it could be imagined how soon, the Hundred Flowers Palace would be dead in his name.    

    

"Qin Zheng, do you think that I, Bai Huaxian, will sit still and wait for death!?"    

    

Not long after, Bai Huaxian calmed down, and his expression suddenly became extremely sinister. The corner of his mouth curled into a thick sneer, and his gloomy and cold voice resounded within the empty great hall.    

    

"Qin Zheng, do you really think I can't take you down!?"
