System's Super Sect-Chapter 468 - 466. The Power of Hurricane Skill (Part 1)

Of course, there are those who rack their brains and remain puzzled, and naturally, there are those who see clearly and even know the real reason. However, such people are very few, so few they can be counted on fingertips.

After a few perplexing days, tonight the atmosphere in Qin Chuan’s home was quite solemn, especially in the area of Qin Chuan’s study, where even the senior members of the family could not enter. This was because several people inside were discussing matters that could not be overheard by anyone.

Leading them was naturally Qin Chuan—the highest leader of this internal turmoil.

The other two were clan leaders from the other two branches, the over-a-century-old Qin Lan and Qin Soul.

Yet Qin Lan and Qin Soul did not understand why they had to keep retreating.

The purpose of summoning the two tonight was to discuss a solution to prevent the branches from continuing to retreat. In the past few days, there was simply no more room to retreat, and behind them was a sheer precipice.

"Qin Chuan, let the Ancestor take action again?" Qin Lan, who couldn’t sit still after discussing plans for half the day, felt Qin Chuan was just spouting nonsense. "What use is our planning if we let the Ancestor fight one fight, all problems will be solved. Whether Qin Ruan is in the hands of the main branch or the residents of Flying Fish Island are inclined towards the main branch, it doesn’t matter. The biggest issue is that we can’t compromise for your son anymore."

"All three families have suffered a lot now, you know that. How do you want us to retreat further? Wait until all our Profound Realm members are dead, and then you, Qin Chuan, go on alone?" Qin Soul said this, frowning with a face full of anger.

It was evident he no longer wanted a civil conversation.

Because Qin Chuan just asked them to retreat without giving them a reason.

"You two, yelling at me is useless. I’m not asking you to retreat for my son. I, Qin Chuan, understand the priorities in major matters. As for you suggesting the Ancestor takes action, it’s not yet the time." The Ancestor was the final trump card, not to be revealed until the end, especially after Qin Tian was seriously injured but able to move around lively the next day. This only reinforced Qin Chuan’s belief.

In the same realm, injuries from a battle typically require top-tier celestial materials for recovery, taking at least ten days to half a month, not to mention the damage inflicted by a stronger realm on a weaker one.

According to the Ancestor, Qin Tian couldn’t get out of bed for at least a month!

But now?

In just a few days, he’s out of bed, lively and energetic.

It must be that hidden sect provided some "Divine Medicine"—Qin Chuan was more aware than anyone whether Flying Fish Island had the power to find or possess such medicine.

"Not yet the time? I think you, Qin Chuan, just want to wear down the strength of our two families, so you can solidify your superior position after seizing power." Qin Chuan’s ambiguous explanation was naturally unacceptable to Qin Soul.

But Qin Chuan’s expression remained unchanged as he said what he could, "Think what you like, but it’s really not the time yet. The force behind Qin Mo—I dispatched people for updates, and we can’t act recklessly. Don’t think Qin Mo isn’t valued in the hidden sect, aiding him in advancing several realms in months, then helping him cultivate a Purity Body. Are these things someone not valued would have?"

Having said this, Qin Chuan looked questioningly at Qin Lan and Qin Soul.

Qin Soul, in his anger, couldn’t hear Qin Chuan’s words.

As he was about to continue cursing, Qin Lan spoke up, "So, Qin Chuan, have you been investigating that hidden sect these days?"

Qin Chuan nodded and glanced at Qin Soul, seeing him grumbling but no longer as aggressive as before, then said, "Yes, this matter isn’t simple. Anything related to a hidden sect, especially since that sect is assisting the main branch so much, makes us have to be cautious. After all, one wrong step means total defeat for us. In a couple of days, the information should arrive, and then we’ll decide whether to attack directly or use an alternative method."

Hearing Qin Chuan’s words, Qin Lan nodded.

Compared to the fiery Qin Soul, Qin Lan was much calmer.

But seeing Qin Lan nod, Qin Soul, though angry, could only nod along in agreement.

"Let’s go, what’s the use of arguing here?" Qin Lan wanted to leave but feared Qin Soul going berserk, so he could only pull him along as they exited.

...

Time passed bit by bit.

After returning to the Sect, Wen Ping continued his cultivation in the Jianmu Forest, progressing rapidly.

As for his little aunt, he hadn’t bothered with her since a brief meeting after returning to the Sect.

In his spare time, he would also eat some Spirit Rice to enhance his Fire Spirit Body. During meal times, he’d check on everyone’s task progress, since their tasks also affected him. Occasionally, he’d visit the Wind Valley, challenging the stone gate, hoping to acquire the Wind Binding Skill. He had seen its compelling binding ability in Mountain and Sea City, where Lin Kewu depended on it to shine.

Besides these concerns, Wen Ping also paid close attention to Lan Peng.

Because Lan Peng’s task was to find new trials in the Wind Valley.

On the fourth day after returning to the Sect, Wen Ping received a letter.

This letter was delivered by people from the City Lord’s Mansion of Cangwu City, presumably because the demon delivering it couldn’t enter the Immortal Sect’s mountain gate and could only hand it to the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Sect Leader, your letter is from Elder Yun!"

As Yang Lele handed the letter to Wen Ping and prepared to leave, he heard a voice.

"Who has so little to do?"

Turning back, Yang Lele saw Wen Ping tearing open the letter while heading to the Tingyu Pavilion.

"What did Elder Yun write?" Yang Lele was puzzled; it was the first time he’d heard the Sect Leader call someone boring.

Meanwhile, Wen Ping returned to the Tingyu Pavilion with the letter, finished reading it, and shook his head with a smile, "That Yun Liao, with tasks unfinished, still has time to meddle in such matters..."

The letter stated. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

People from Flying Fish Island are investigating the Immortal Sect.

And it’s a Divine Profound Realm cultivator.

Even Murong Qing was threatened.

"I wonder if Murong Qing told them everything he knows." If he did, it’s conceivable that the Divine Profound of Flying Fish Island would have fled in disgrace.

If not, Zhantian Qingxuan would have much to play with on Flying Fish Island.

Collecting his thoughts, Wen Ping suddenly slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering something.

Upgrade the kitchen!

Need to create new Spiritual Cuisine, otherwise just an upgraded version of the Moonlight Dumplings won’t be enough to heal Zi Ran’s hands.

...

Flying Fish Island.

Qin Ru’an returned to the Qin Family, openly ascending the island.

The crowd then realized it was Qin Ru’an’s absence that caused the branches to be repeatedly defeated by the main branch!

Seeing Qin Ru’an’s confident smile as he ascended the island, the spies of the main branch’s expressions changed.

As soon as Qin Ru’an left, they immediately rushed home to report this unexpected anomaly!
