Immortality System: Cultivating with Girls-Chapter 451 - 276: You’re Still Taking a Bath - 2

This remark was loaded with deep meaning.

They were dealing with the Qin Family, not the Purple Cloud Divine Sect.

What did that mean? Weren't the Purple Cloud Divine Sect and the Qin Family one and the same? How could they be distinguished?

The Qin Family and the Purple Cloud Divine Sect... to be separated...

"Could it be... that they... have also joined forces?"

Some faces became solemn, and their gaze shifted toward the direction of the other branches of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect.

"Of course, they have joined forces," a Qin Family elder said. "We have been wholly dedicated to having the Divine Sect renamed after the Qin, which has undoubtedly incurred much dissatisfaction."

Qin Zhengming's eyes narrowed. "They would rejoice at the fall of our Qin Family."

"This..."

Upon receiving Qin Zhengming's affirmative reply, everyone's hearts trembled.

It meant there were those within the Purple Cloud Divine Sect who wanted to join with the Lu Family to strike at their Qin Family.

The Qin Family was unlike any other branch within the Purple Cloud Divine Sect.

The Qin Family wanted the Purple Cloud Divine Sect to belong to them, not the other way around.

This was the sect their ancestors had created; naturally, it was normal for them to have such thoughts.

But for any other branch of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect, this was nothing but a pipe dream. How could their hard-earned Purple Cloud Divine Sect bear the Qin name?

It was a clear conflict of interests.

There had already been those who wanted to sweep the Qin Family out the door.

Only, the strength of the Qin Family was simply too formidable.

They were fundamentally one step ahead of the other branches.

To completely extract the Qin Family from the midst would no doubt cause severe damage, even a great loss of vitality.

Therefore, no real action had been taken before.

But now, if they allied with other forces, they could minimize their own losses.

"Have they gone mad? If our Qin Family falls into chaos, the strength of the Divine Sect will likely suffer a great decline!"

Someone frowned.

It was tantamount to mutual destruction.

"They don't care about the Divine Sect," Qin Zhengming scoffed coldly. "As long as they can kick our Qin Family out of the game, everything is worth it."

Once again, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, if they didn't seize this chance to take action, conflict between the two parties would be inevitable in the future.

"Then, Patriarch, what should we do now..."

At this point, no one objected anymore, and they even began to see Qin Shiming in a different light. Over the years, for certain reasons, Qin Shiming, in his pursuit of breaking through his cultivation, had indeed done many incomprehensible things. Moreover, he had long stopped managing the internal affairs of the Qin Family or those external to it. Whenever he appeared, he seemed a bit mad. But the Patriarch's position had been decided early on, and others did not dare to depose him. This was mainly because they were not strong enough and couldn't beat Qin Zhengming. Qin Zhengming, mad as he might seem, his strength was still among the absolute elite.

"What to do?" Qin Zhengming's eyes gleamed with madness, and he became more excited as he spoke. "Naturally, take care of those disciples of the Lu Family within the Divine Sect first, ensuring they can't send any messages. Then, exterminate those smaller forces. We let them off once before, and they not only failed to appreciate it, but now they even want to join forces against us. Then, not a single one of them shall survive."

"Patriarch, but... even with the Qin Family's strength, we are no match for them," someone said with a somber expression.

The Qin Family's strength was indeed far superior to any of those forces, including the other two Upper Three Veins of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect.

But now, the Qin Family was facing an alliance of their opponents.

"No matter, they are but a motley crew," Qin Zhengming sneered, mockery flickering in his eyes. What cohesion can there be in an alliance so hastily formed? Perhaps they are all waiting for others to take the lead in the fight, hoping to reap the rewards in the end.

"After we've eliminated the Lu Family, we can cease our actions," Qin Zhengming added. "The internal affairs of the Divine Sect will resolve themselves in time."

He had thought it through very clearly. If they were to fight, they should start with the softest targets, intimidating the opposition from the get-go. The harder you appear, the less willing the other party will be to engage in a direct contest. And thus, the alliance will be easily broken. Those within the Purple Cloud Divine Sect, seeing the futility, will naturally cease to persist. They do not wish to weaken their own forces. If they truly wanted to fight to the death, they would have done so long ago. To put it bluntly, this time, everyone is acting on an impromptu basis; it's a question of who is ruthless enough. Hesitation will lead to defeat.

"Good! Let's take action now!"

People exchanged looks and nodded profoundly. They were not the dawdling type, decisive and ready to move.

"What about the Selection of God's Children three days from now? Will the Qin Family still participate?" Suddenly, the quiet Qin Fei spoke up.

Qin Zhengming burst into laughter and said, "Of course, we'll participate. Why wouldn't we? The people of my Qin Family are all rightful candidates to become Godsons."

"However, this time, we don't need to go easy on the other veins. If they must be killed, so be it. Xiao Tian should possess that strength."

Regarding his grandson, Qin Zhengming was truly satisfied. He had watched in secret during the previous tribulation. Indeed, a chip off the old block, courageous and powerful. Given some more time, Qin Tian's strength will surely advance by leaps and bounds. With such an outstanding future God Pride among their younger generation, how could he not be thrilled and delighted?

"Wait a minute, if that's the case, then these next few days, isn't Xiao Tian also in great danger?" Qin Shan frowned.

Qin Tian was regarded as the Qin Family's strongest potential among the younger members. There was a chance that someone might try to kill Qin Tian in the coming days. Those of the same realm wouldn't pose a threat; however, given the current situation, the opponents might very well resort to dishonorable tactics. This could become problematic. No matter how strong Qin Tian was, he couldn't possibly take on someone from the Peeping Realm. The gap between their realms was like a divine condemnation.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhengming nodded slightly and said, "You're right, Qin Shan, so you will guard Xiao Tian this time."

He had indeed overlooked this point. Now that they are at loggerheads, nobody will care if you are the future of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect.

"Family Head, I will go too," Qin Fei also stood up.

"Good, I'll leave it to the two of you." Qin Zhengming didn't hesitate and nodded his approval.

With these two protecting Qin Tian, he should be perfectly safe.

Immediately after, the corners of his mouth curved into a mad smile. He waved his hand and declared, "Alright, now… begin the operation. Don't let a single one escape!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded and vanished, their silhouettes swiftly departing. The Qin Family had to gather the latest information swiftly and clarify the reasons to everyone.

Qin Shan and Qin Fei, meanwhile, flew in the opposite direction, heading to Qin Tian's residence. However, this time they decided to protect him from the shadows. Even "Qin Tian" wouldn't be informed of their presence. This approach will be more effective for baiting; if any fool dares to come looking for trouble, we can send them off to their deaths.

***

Meanwhile, inside Qin Tian's residence, Wen Zhixing stood outside the rooms of the various women.

Hmm, the rooms chosen by the Four Women are not far apart; they are practically next to each other. Though naturally, Wen Zhixing didn't know specifically who lived in which room.

The candlelight in the first room was already extinguished. Inside, it was pitch black. Wen Zhixing listened intently. The gentle sound of breathing reached his ears; the fair lady within seems to have already fallen asleep.

His gaze moved to the second room, where candlelight still burned brightly. Peering in from the outside, the whole room appeared to be enveloped in a kind of mist, making it slightly hazy. The sound of water splashing rose as well.

This is... Wen Zhixing was momentarily stunned. Though he saw nothing, his mind unbiddenly conjured an image of a beauty emerging from a bath. His already restless heart immediately felt like it was ablaze. Especially the clear sound of water droplets falling to the floor, it's like it's beckoning me to enter the room promptly.

"Cough..." Wen Zhixing quickly lowered his head, looking at the two rooms that followed.

He saw that their candles had just been snuffed out; they must be preparing to rest.

Only the last room remained silent, seemingly empty.

"Fairy Eyes."

Wen Zhixing hesitated for a moment but still used his Divine Ability.

Don't get the wrong idea; I just fear that in the darkness I might not recognize who it is. It would be awkward if I entered the wrong room, wouldn't it?

BUZZ!

The next moment, a hint of golden light surfaced in his eyes. Like ripples on water, they gently spread out. Finally, they transformed into mysterious talismans and embedded themselves into his pupils.

In an instant, both eyes were completely golden. At the same time, golden patterns inscribed themselves around his eye sockets.

Fairy Eyes activated at full power!
