Gui Yunzi asked in a deep voice, "Senior brother, should we continue to develop the Quanzhou area?"
"No need. We have suffered heavy losses this time. The most urgent task is to recuperate and rebuild, but we must not let anyone underestimate the prestige of Penglai."
Ling Xuzi's voice was cold as he continued, "Send down the order to mobilize all disciples, both inner and outer, as well as the various factions that are affiliated with us. I can't control other territories, but at least within the territory of Penglai, I don't want to see even a single Zoroastrian spy."
"Yes!" Jue Chenzi responded, accepting the order.
Gui Yunzi's tone was full of resentment: "Senior Brother, the blood feud between Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother cannot be left unresolved!"
Ling Xuzi's eyes were deep and unfathomable.
"Fourth Brother, don't worry. We four are from the same lineage and are as close as brothers. One day, your senior brother will definitely avenge your second brother and comfort his soul in heaven!"
He paused, then added, "By the way, immediately investigate Hao Yingzong's whereabouts. Since this whole mess was started by him, we should settle this blood debt with him first!"
Having botched things, Jue Chenzi looked guilty: "It's all my fault. I couldn't rush to Quanzhou's aid in time. If I had arrived a little earlier, my second senior brother wouldn't have—"
Ling Xuzi shook his head: "It's not your fault. The Fire Worship Sect set up ambushes and obstacles along the way, clearly calculating that Second Junior Brother was hot-tempered and would definitely come looking for him."
He sighed softly, his tone filled with melancholy, "This was a case of someone deliberately trying to outwit someone else; what can I do?"
Ling Xuzi sighed with regret, then spoke again to comfort Jue Chenzi.
"This was my oversight. You should rest well inside the sect and conserve your energy. When the time is right, my Penglai Sect will surely regain our honor."
Seeing that his senior brother had taken all the blame, Kuai Chenzi felt even more guilty.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Ling Xuzi, the two bowed and left the sect leader's residence.
Dulingzi died, and Guiyunzi was unable to manage affairs due to his unhealed internal injuries.
In a short time, he was busy with sending messages, preparing gifts, and handling daily affairs.
The entire burden fell on Kuai Chenzi's shoulders.
Since the Beggars' Sect is to be invited, the gifts prepared for the Luoyang assembly must be carefully selected and prepared in advance.
Inside the sect leader's residence, Ling Xuzi continued to meditate.
The situation in Quanzhou was far more dangerous than he described, and Penglai has suffered a severe blow.
The reason he swallowed his pride and asked the Beggars' Sect to take the lead was truly a last resort.
Yan Xi, Song Kuan, Qu Jiafeng and other young talents died one after another, Yin Baisu lost an arm and became disabled, and there was almost no successor among the younger generation of his disciples.
The Four Elders of Penglai have lost Du Lingzi, and after this calamity, their talents have dwindled.
The road ahead for Penglai is fraught with difficulties.
But he was the leader of a sect, and even if his heart was in turmoil, he could never lose his composure in front of his junior brothers.
Thinking of the troubles that were about to come, Ling Xuzi suddenly opened his eyes, a ruthless look on his face.
Penglai.
We must not fall under his leadership!
As the weather warms and the days grow longer, it is truly a beautiful time of year.
Quanzhou, Xiuxi Inn.
.
Gao Yuan sat cross-legged, spread his index fingers to guide his true energy, and used the "Eight Directions and Six Harmonies, I Alone Am Supreme" technique to diligently refine his Yin Wei meridian.
Wisps of white mist rose from his body, enveloping him and creating a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere.
The Yin Wei meridian governs the Yin aspect, while the Yang Wei meridian governs the Yang aspect. These two meridians are a pair and work together to maintain the balance of Yin and Yang meridians in the human body.
The key to truly achieving the balance of Yin and Yang and the simultaneous operation of both meridians lies in the harmonious flow of Yin and Yang.
Since leaving the Spirit Palace, he deliberately suppressed Beiming's cultivation progress and focused on cultivating the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Supreme Technique, which deepened his understanding of it.
Although the Northern Darkness True Qi can be both hard and soft.
However, in terms of Yang energy alone, it cannot compare to the ultimate pure Yang of the Eight Desolations.
When the "Eight Desolations and Six Directions, I Alone Am Supreme" technique is practiced to its later stages, the true energy will reverse on its own, cleansing the meridians, bone marrow, and internal organs, thus achieving a return to the body's original state.
That is, my maternal grandmother's aging process, which occurs every thirty years.
Gao Yuan vaguely felt that his line of thinking was correct.
The three major cultivation methods of the Free and Unfettered Sect should be able to be cultivated and integrated together, but how exactly to do it will have to be studied slowly after he obtains the Lesser Formless Realm.
Grandma lacks the Northern Darkness and Formless Mind Techniques, while Wuyazi and Li Qiushui lack the Eight Desolations Mind Techniques.
The entire Xiaoyao Sect, except for the deceased Xiaoyaozi.
It's estimated that no one has experience with practicing the three skills simultaneously across different meridians.
Before long, a soft "crackling" sound came from Gao Yuan's body, as crisp as popping beans.
The miraculous effects of the Eight Desolations Technique's Tendon-Changing and Marrow-Washing effects were fully displayed, making him feel completely comfortable and indescribably happy.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if there were no hidden dangers of the two true energies clashing and causing chaos!
Guide the Qi back to its original state.
When he opened his eyes, the faint warm light poured in through the window grille, and his stomach rumbled with hunger.
He studied and practiced diligently every day, never ceasing his martial arts training, and his appetite actually increased considerably.
They eat well and sleep well.
Although it had only been a little over a year, Gao Yuan had grown a head longer than when he left Xuzhou.
Judging by his appearance alone, you would never guess that he is only a sixteen-year-old boy.
There is a coral tree outside the window, and the birdsong in the tree is melodious and clear.
"Ta-da!"
Familiar footsteps approached.
"Young master, a letter has arrived from the manor!"
The joy in her voice was even more exhilarating than the birdsong on the branches; it was Li Wan's voice.
It was Gao Yuan who made Li Wan change her address to "Young Master." When traveling, she couldn't keep calling him "Your Excellency" all the time, lest someone with ulterior motives overhear.
As for "府里", it naturally refers to Lingjiu Palace.
"understood."
Unlatch the door bolt, and a pretty figure enters through the door.
Gao Yuan smiled as he accepted the letter and poured her a cup of tea, while Li Wan gently placed the wooden tray holding the dishes on the side of the teapot on the wooden table.
"Young master, why don't you release the letter first and eat while it's hot? The food won't taste as good if it gets cold."
"It's nothing, just some routine greetings—well, the old master said he was very satisfied with your performance this time."
"real?"
Li Wan's lips curved into a smile upon receiving praise from the Lord.
Why would I lie to you?
Gao Yuan didn't lie to her; he just changed "make amends" to "praise." Anyway, for them, it was good enough if they didn't do anything wrong in front of their grandmother.
"Young master, let's eat first."
Li Su smiled and turned to pick up the soup bowl.
"The white jade is yam, the yellow is chestnut, and the soup is made by simmering mutton broth until tender. It is warm, smooth, not greasy, sweet, glutinous, and fragrant, and has a warming effect. It was prepared by your subordinate according to the recipe."
She explained carefully.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Gao Yuan said, slightly moved.
"It's no trouble at all! It's my duty to share your burdens, young master!"
"Any new information?"
Since the battle at Dayunming Temple, Gao Yuan has spent his days practicing martial arts behind closed doors and rarely goes out.
Every little thing happening in the martial arts world, every message being relayed from top to bottom, was handled by Li Wan.
Li Wan suppressed her smile, her expression turned serious, and she reported all the information she had gathered in recent days.
As the ultimate "crocodile".
Gao Yuan, along with Duanmu Yuan and his gang, stirred up almost the biggest upheaval in the martial arts world in recent years, massacring hundreds of people from one sect, one school, and three gangs.
Penglai Dulingzi was buried far from home, the Demonic Sect's senior Songlin was beheaded, the Rising Sun Gang was almost completely wiped out, and the Beggars' Sect suffered heavy losses.
This matter has already caused a huge uproar in the martial arts world.
Neither group is stupid.
After this battle, all forces were severely weakened. Even if they were filled with hatred, they could only hold back for the time being and recuperate.
The Zoroastrian sect has been exposed in Quanzhou and has gradually withdrawn from southern Fujian, shrinking its influence towards western Fujian.
The Penglai faction also refrained from sending anyone outside the two routes of Jingdong for the time being.
"Young Master, what should we do next?" Li Wan asked.
After a moment of contemplation, Gao Yuan spoke: "The blood feud is irreconcilable. The enmity between Penglai and the Fire Worship Sect is already settled. Sooner or later, they will fight to the death once again after both sides have rested."
"We don't need to get involved in the rest."

"In short, the matter in Fujian is temporarily concluded. Just have Duanmu Yuan and the others prepare the offerings and go to Misty Peak on time."
"By the way, the Rising Sun Gang is practically defunct now. Since Wang Weizhi and Qingyuan have connections, let him settle down in Quanzhou."
"Yes, young master, I will go and deliver the message shortly."
Li Wan naturally understood what Gao Yuan meant.
They were not only eyeing the territory and businesses left behind by the Rising Sun Gang, but also wanted to control Wei Changqing of the Qingyuan Society.
If there was any loophole in the whole affair, it was Wang Weizhi who used the Qingyuan Society to pass on false information to the Xuri Gang. Only by filling this gap could the whole thing be considered truly flawless.
The bodies of Du Lingzi and the other two had long been thrown into the Great Yunming Temple and roasted until they were charred.
Don't try to find any clues on the corpse.
"Whether to kill Wei Changqing or spare him is up to Wang Weizhi to decide. If he can't handle it, he can send a message to summon Qin Yufeng and a few others to come south to help."
Unlike the Central Plains and the North, Fujian is not filled with large gangs. If Wang Weizhi couldn't take down the Qingyuan Society, he could only say that he had misjudged the person.
Gao Yuan picked up the bowl and plate and took a sip of the warm soup.
The coral trees are in full bloom, their bright red petals reflecting the sunlight, adding to their vibrant beauty.
"Quanzhou has beautiful scenery, but it's not a place to stay for long."
Li Wan was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Is the young master heading back to the manor?"
Gao Yuan shook his head, his gaze lingering.
"There are still some things to do, so I won't go back for now, but I'm going to Jiangnan."
