“That day, Su Clan’s Seven made an appointment to meet our sect master. He was a Fifth Stage cultivator who had been famous for a long time, so Immortal Farming Sect treated him with respect accordingly. Seven and our sect master conversed for a long time, and both of them were thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Afterwards, Su Clan’s Seven asked us about the ‘Seven Colors Wonder Fruit’ because one of his juniors failed to pass a tribulation and was suffering from injuries; he was searching for a medicinal ingredient that could cure his junior. Introduced by someone, he came to Immortal Farming Sect…’Seven Colors Wonder Fruit’ was originally our sect’s most valuable treasure passed down through the generations, but somehow some fellow daoists found out about it and spread news of it, passing it off as a divine medicine. At last, the medicinal effects were claimed to be more and more mysterious, even with rumors that ‘Seven Colors Wonder Fruit’ could cure tribulation injuries. Interestingly, we didn’t even know that ‘Seven Colors Wonder Fruit’ had such a divine effect,” Senior Brother Zheng Yan laughed at himself as he said.
Rumors stopped at the wise, but fools ran rampant in this world. Especially those that have fallen into despair would rather gamble on it being truth than risk missing out on it.
Song Shuhang didn’t know why Senior Brother Zheng Yan talked to him about these things, but it concerned Senior Seven, so he just quietly listened.
“In the end, Su Clan’s Seven asked if we were willing to let go of the ‘Seven Colors Wonder Fruit’. He would exchange for it using a treasure of even higher value. Our sect master rejected him, because ‘Seven Colors Wonder Fruit’ is our sect’s most valued treasure. Besides, it did not have the effect of healing tribulation injuries; there was no room for this exchange. Su Clan’s Seven did not insist either. Later, he bade farewell to our sect master and left Immortal Farming Sect with his companion.”
As he spoke up to this point, Zheng Yan paused and frowned, “However, none of us would’ve thought, that night… Su Clan’s Seven intruded our Immortal Farming Sect, injured eighteen disciples, and stole the Seven Colors Wonder Fruit!”
This was the history of the grudge between Su Clan’s Seven and Immortal Farming Sect.
So, that was how the events unfolded, ending with the silly uncle stalking and trying to capture Sixteen alive in order to force Su Clan’s Seven to come.
Song Shuhang frowned slightly as he heard this.
He recalled the assassin that tried to assassinate Sixteen; it was apparent that there was someone fanning the flames of the resentment between Immortal Farming Sect and Seven.
As he thought that, Song Shuhang tried to keep his tone mild as he asked, “If I may ask, are you guys really sure that the Su Clan’s Seven was the one who intruded Immortal Farming Sect that night?”
“Obviously, we were able to confirm it. Our sect’s strongest, Senior Brother Zheng Neng, and thirty senior and junior brothers were on duty to guard the sect’s secret ground. Su Clan’s Seven suddenly appeared, striking down Senior Brother Zheng Neng with one blow and heavily injuring eighteen disciples. Our sect’s disciples saw his figure with their own eyes, including his unique saber technique ‘Heavenly Saber Burying the Starry Sea,’” Senior Brother Zheng Yan explained.
“…” Song Shuhang’s mouth twitched; there were so many suspicious points that he didn’t know where to start!
Su Clan’s Seven robbed them on their own turf, and revealed his true appearance?
Moreover, while he took advantage of the dark to sneak about, he even showed off his ‘unique secret technique?’ What was he afraid of, that no one would recognize him?
How arrogant and senseless do you think Su Clan’s Seven has to be for him to do such a thing?
“My guess is that you might have some friendly relations with Su Clan’s junior, so I’m telling you about the course of this matter. I hope that you won’t interfere again in the grudge between Immortal Farming Sect and Su Clan’ Seven,” Senior Brother Zheng Yan said.
He wanted to advise Song Shuhang not become involved in this quarrel.
Song Shuhang pondered, and then answered, “The grudge between you guys and Senior Seven is something I know not much about, so I don’t have the right to speak of it. However, there’s something I know that I should let you guys know of—it occurred not long ago, when that silly uncle from your sect tried to capture Su Clan’s Sixteen alive but failed. Soon after, the uncle retreated. But as the uncle left, an assassin suddenly struck, attempting to kill Su Clan’s Sixteen. If I weren’t at the scene, Su Clan’s Sixteen might’ve already been killed.”
With that said, Song Shuhang did not explain any more.
If Zheng Yan believed his words, he would contemplate the meaning of his words. If Zheng Yan didn’t believe him, then his explanation might cause the opposite effect.
Zheng Yan frowned and sunk into deep thoughts.

Huanan, Lan Yuan Valley.
Moon Saber Sect already left their base and migrated to ‘Lan Yuan Valley.’
This Lan Yuan Valley was secretly chosen several years ago as a ground for refuge. Inside the valley, various installations were complete—it was equivalent to Saber Moon Sect’s second base.
As they were already prepared, Moon Saber Sect’s disciples’ migration efficiency was fast. In less than three hours, they finished their migration.
Under the arrangements of the elders of Moon Saber Sect, the disciples each chose a dwelling inside the valley based on their identity and status, and left their items in their new dwellings.
At last, Moon Saber Sect’s disciples started to deploy a large defensive formation that’d cover the whole sect.
This ‘defensive formation’ was studied and optimized by Elder Young Master Hai. Once activated, Moon Saber Sect’s disciples within the formation would get a two-times boost in battle power for a short period of time.
Moon Saber Sect’s disciples believed that with this formation, even if a cultivator who has materialized a Golden Core, a Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor, invaded, they would still be able to fend off him or her!
After all was set appropriately, Elder Young Master Hai reported the current situation to Sect Master Ba Qianjun. Then, he left the sect master’s place and returned to his own quarters inside the Lan Yuan Valley.
His dwelling was immaculate, with only a lonely stalk of purple bamboo stuck in a bonsai pot.
After Young Master Hai entered his room, he activated a defensive formation to block the outsiders from prying.
“Jeje…” Next, the sleeve on his right hand moved, and the smoke-ball-like ‘Demon Monarch Anzhi’s’ clone came out, letting out a weird, evil laugh.
At the same time, the purple bamboo shook lightly.
“Assassinating Sixteen failed?” The purple bamboo shook slightly, and let out a mechanical sound.
“It failed, how truly unfortunate. Even the ‘Blood God Saber’ talisman wasn’t able to kill Su Clan’s junior. These junior cultivators from famous large clans are not easy to deal with as expected.” Young Master Hai touched the long sword on his waist and faintly smiled.
“How troublesome, this way, Su Clan’s Seven won’t be lured to fight against Immortal Farming Sect,” the purple bamboo said, dissatisfied.
“Jeje, from the start, we already expected this possibility,” Demon Monarch Anzhi’s clone—still in the form of weird smoke-like mist—said with a weird laugh. “Nevertheless, as long as we lead Immortal Farming Sect to attack Moon Saber Sect, we can still accomplish the goal.”
“Hmph, you guys naturally wouldn’t care, but now I have to put in a lot more effort out of the blue. Then, the next best thing, our second plan… did we capture Su Clan’s junior alive? Without her, we still cannot lead Su Clan’s Seven here.” The purple bamboo continued.
Young Master Hai lowered his gaze and said, “Demon Monarch Anzhi’s main body personally went to capture Su Clan’s junior. I even let a cute tool temporarily stall Su Clan’s Seven. Demon Monarch, you should have already succeeded, right?
“Uh.” Demon Monarch Anzhi’s clone hesitated, “How do I put this, because of a large dog’s interference, in a moment of desperation, this Demon Monarch captured the wrong person… you guys know too that in this Demon Monarch’s eyes, humans and monkeys look just about the same, it’s too hard to differentiate.”
The purple bamboo mocked, “So, in short, the plan B has failed too?”
“Not exactly failed. Actually, as long as we attacked Su Clan’s junior, regardless of whether we caught her alive or not, based on Su Clan’s Seven’s personality, if he finds sufficient traces, he’ll definitely come to Moon Saber Sect to avenge his junior.”
“This is what you said, we didn’t force you.” The purple bamboo sneered, “When the time comes, don’t get chopped in half by Su Clan’s Seven.”
“Hmph, don’t you worry, this Demon Monarch has his own methods.” Demon Monarch Anzhi smirked.
Young Master Hai sat on the chair and rested his chin on his hand as a faint smile surfaced at the corners of his mouth. “Then, let us continue according to the second plan… now, first draw Immortal Farming Sect’s people over, let them try out the large formation I ‘toilsomely transformed’. This’ll raise the confidence of Moon Saber Sect’s disciples; after all, they’ll soon be facing a powerful being like Su Clan’s Seven.
The purple bamboo shook slightly, “Okay, I’ll think of a way to draw all of Immortal Farming Sect’s experts over here. At that time, we must kill the important members of Immortal Farming Sect. As for their sect master, we must let him live for a few days so that their sect master can arrange the future events, and make it easier for us to take advantage to obtain Immortal Farming Sect’s secrets.”
Young Master Hai nodded, and said, “Act quickly, we must get Immortal Farming Sect’s people to come to Lan Yuan Valley before Seven arrives.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll prepare immediately,” the blue bamboo said.
Suddenly, Demon Monarch Anzhi laughed eerily, “Jeje, that’s right, even though I didn’t catch Sixteen, but on the way, I encountered people from Immortal Farming Sect. One of them was called ‘Zheng De’ and seems to have some status in Immortal Farming Sect. I considered that he may be of use, so I caught and brought him here.”
“Zheng De from Immortal Farming Sect? If it’s him, there certainly might be some use. Keep him alive for now, just in case,” the Blue bamboo replied.
“Okay, then let us act accordingly, and wish that all goes smoothly for us,” Young Master Hai stood up and said.
“It’ll definitely go smoothly.” Demon Monarch Anzhi smiled evilly.
“We’ll definitely succeed.” The purple bamboo shook slightly, and then calmed down.
Demon Monarch Anzhi’s split spirit dug back into Young Master Hai’s gown’s sleeve.
❄️❄️❄️
Young Master Hai withdrew the large defensive formation in the room, rested for a short while, and then headed to where Sect Master Ba Qianjun resided.
Ba Qianjun still lay against the chair made from cold ice metal, staring blankly at the ‘Seven Colors Wonder Fruit’ beside him. This was the treasure that could heal his tribulation injuries; unfortunately, this treasure couldn’t just be swallowed raw, there was a proper ‘method of application.’
Seeing Young Master Hai enter, Ba Qianjun’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Elder Young Master Hai, is the second plan starting?”
Young Master Hai slightly nodded, “Yes, Sect Master. I just contacted the mole inside Immortal Farming Sect. He is already on the move, and has passed on the information that ‘Su Clan’s Seven’ and ‘Seven Colors Wonder Fruit’ are at Moon Saber Sect. Next, we need to find a place to ambush Immortal Farming Sect and kill off all their important figures. This way, our mole will have the chance to inherit everything from ‘Immortal Farming Sect’ and obtain the medicinal recipe for ‘Seven Colors Wonder Fruit.’ At that time, the ‘tribulation fire’ that has troubled Sect Master many years will be extinguished.”
“That’s great!” Ba Qianjun exclaimed. He had been enduring the torture of the ‘tribulation fire’ day and night; he would not let go even of the slightest chance for recovery!
“Sadly, our initial plan didn’t go smoothly… we wouldn’t even need to do a thing. Seven’s strength alone could have disabled the entire Immortal Farming Sect, allowing our mole in Immortal Farming Sect to obtain all of Immortal Farming Sect’s secrets,” Ba Qianjun exclaimed.
“Man proposes, but god disposes,” Young Master Hai smiled as he said.
“What Elder said is correct.” Ba Qianjun propped up his body. “But with more stratagems, I don’t believe that god will not let us succeed again!”
Young Master Hai nodded as he smiled.
God disposes? Hehe! Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World.Site Only
All is within my grasp, why use god to dispose?

On the other side, where Immortal Farming Sect’s disciples were.
“Senior Brother Zheng Neng’s here!” a disciple shouted with surprise.
From afar, a man dressed in blue Immortal Farming Sect attire was approaching, treading on blade light…
