The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Hearing the three words “Dantai Clan,” Su Jingzhen’s expression immediately turned serious.

Xuening now relied on him.

Xuening’s affairs were, in Su Jingzhen’s eyes, his own.

The reason behind the Dantai Clan’s downfall remained a mystery to this day.

Now that news of the Dantai Clan had resurfaced, he had to pay attention.

He didn’t even have the right to hide anything from Xuening.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen thought of Dantai Mingjing and Dantai Ling’er, the grandfather and granddaughter.

“Miss Ye, could you elaborate?” he asked gravely.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded again.”Zhiqiu was going to tell Master Su about this matter.”

But then, they were suddenly and inexplicably destroyed.

Dantai Mingjing, who was once considered the number one alchemist in Qingzhou, vanished without a trace.

It wasn’t until the last Yunmeng City Alchemist Conference, the descendant of the Dantai family appeared in the world again with Master Su.

This rekindled the world’s memories of the Dantai Clan.”

Su Jingzhen nodded. He knew everything Ye Zhiqiu was saying.

Ye Zhiqiu continued, “After the Dantai Clan’s destruction, countless cultivators from the Qingzhou region went to their ruins, hoping to find some trace of their legacy.

Or perhaps to pick up some lost pills.

But the ruins back then were blocked by countless chaotic energy restrictions.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators in the later stages couldn’t enter.

Rumors even circulated that Soul Formation stage cultivators who attempted to enter also failed.

The Dantai Clan’s ruins eventually became a forbidden zone.

The Dantai Clan itself became a legendary entity.”

“But just a few days ago, a cultivator discovered that the chaotic energy barriers surrounding the Dantai Clan’s ruins had weakened.

And as time passed, that weakening continued to intensify.

At that rate, in a short time, Nascent Soul cultivators would be able to enter easily.”

Ye Zhiqiu’s voice grew heavy as she spoke.

“The news is still only circulating among a small group. Most of those who discovered this situation are alchemists who have been following the ruins since the Dantai Clan’s destruction.

But it’s only a matter of time before the news leaks out widely.

The relationship between the major forces in Qingzhou Region has become somewhat delicate with the comeback of your Evil Moon Sect.

The reappearance of the Dantai Clan’s ruins at this time will likely lead to even more people going there.

And this time, the appearance of the Dantai Clan’s ruins could very well change the landscape of Qingzhou once again.”

Su Jingzhen’s expression also turned grave.

From what he knew about the Dantai Clan’s legends, they weren’t necessarily above all the forces in Qingzhou, but they were definitely one of the most powerful.

What was important was that the Dantai Clan was a force of alchemists. If they could truly obtain their legacy and what the Dantai Clan had left behind, it would be an irresistible temptation for all forces.

Su Jingzhen wasn’t stupid. When Ye Zhiqiu said this, he already understood Ye Zhiqiu’s intentions.

“Miss Ye, are you planning to participate in this event?” Su Jingzhen asked Ye Zhiqiu.

The latter didn’t shy away. “That’s right, I do intend to represent the Alchemist Association’s Linjiang Branch.

In fact, if it were any other force, even if it was a sect that was stronger than the Dantai clan in terms of military power, my Alchemist Guild would not have the slightest interest in it.

But this is the Dantai Clan!

My master, Vice President Ouyang, said that the Dantai Clan is very likely connected to forces from beyond our realm, even the Luo River region and even further.

There will be higher-level alchemy techniques and advanced pill formulas to be found there, so this time, anyone can be absent, but the Alchemist Association cannot!”

Su Jingzhen nodded.

As long as it involved collecting advanced alchemy techniques and advanced pill formulas, the Alchemist Association did have a compelling reason to participate.

Then Su Jingzhen smiled and said, “So Miss Ye wants to cooperate with my Evil Moon Sect on this matter?”

Ye Zhiqiu nodded again, earnestly. “That’s right!

Although my masters left two Nascent Soul stage elders as my protectors when they left,

But in Zhiqiu’s opinion, this time their strength is still not enough if we want to go to the remains of the Dantai clan.

I’m very clear about the enemies we’ll be facing this time. They are the top forces in Qingzhou and even the surrounding states.

There will definitely be Soul Formation stage cultivators present!

That’s why I need the protection of your Evil Moon Sect in terms of martial strength.”

Ye Zhiqiu was extremely honest.

During the Alchemist Convention, she had worked with Su Jingzhen for a long time.

She knew that sincerity was a surefire way to win Su Jingzhen over.

But this was far from enough.

The Alchemist Association and the Evil Moon Sect had no prior relationship, and now they were even competitors in Linjiang City.

Simply stating this wouldn’t convince the Evil Moon Sect to join her.

So Ye Zhiqiu added, “The Dantani Clan is after all a top force of alchemists, and the Alchemist Association also has a long history.

We also have a strong foundation, and Zhiqiu is quite proficient in the methods of alchemists.

As long as we enter the ruins, Zhiqiu can play a role that other professions cannot.”

By being sincere and demonstrating her value, she believed Su Jingzhen wouldn’t refuse.

Su Jingzhen narrowed his eyes: “This time, only Miss Ye will be acting on behalf of the Alchemist Association Linjiang Branch?”

Ye Zhiqiu nodded. “Just me.

The headquarters of the Alchemist Association might also have my masters go there directly.

But since I am the head of this branch, I won’t be acting with them.”

“We, the demonic cultivators, can do anything. Miss Ye, are you not afraid to be with us?”

Su Jingzhen smiled again.

Ye Zhiqiu replied frankly, “Of course, I would be afraid, but Zhiqiu trusts Master Su.”

A smile returned to her face.

Su Jingzhen fell silent for a few breaths and then said, “Alright!

I need to discuss this matter further. If the Evil Moon Sect Linjiang Branch decides to participate,

We will come to pick up Miss Ye when we depart.”

Though he said it like that, Su Jingzhen knew that this matter didn’t need any discussion at all.

Since the Dantai Clan ruins were now accessible, the Linjiang Branch simply had to participate.

Not for any other reason, but for Xuening alone, they had to do it.

Moreover, he had a feeling that the Dantai Clan ruins, which had been quiet for so many years, would not have changed recently without the involvement of the Dantai Mingjing.

After all, it was at the recent Alchemist Convention that Dantai Mingjing emerged from his seclusion in Tianning City, a place he had been hidden for countless years.

Dantai Mingjing’s appearance, missing limbs and all, was not just an accident, but a story etched onto his very being.

For him to initiate such a major shift in the Qingzhou landscape seemed quite fitting.

“If the Dantai Clan ruins truly become a hotbed of activity, then I’m sure Zou Zeyu from the Longyan Branch of the Evil Moon Sect, and that useless Tuoba Junlin from the Holy City Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s Tuoba family, will all be there as well, won’t they?”

Su Jingzhen’s heart pounded with excitement at the thought.

“I wonder if there’s a chance to eliminate these two this time…”

The idea filled him with a thrill.

If he could directly eliminate these two individuals,

Then many things in the Qingzhou region would become much simpler to handle.
