Mu Qingyu murmured in her heart, and did not speak further.
The rules of this world are, after all, set by the strong.
"Senior Sister Mu, His Holiness the Holy Son has returned from Youmo Peak and summoned you!" Just then, a pleasant voice sounded in Mu Qingyu's ear.
A disciple from Xingmo Peak approached not far away and spoke.
The Young Master has returned. Mu Qingyu raised her head, her smile blooming like a flower, her eyes instantly becoming radiant.
Immediately, Mu Qingyu ignored Chen Lingyue and sped towards Xingding Palace.
...
Xingding Palace.
Jiang Li sat at the top of the palace.
Spiritual energy surged towards Jiang Li's body.
Jiang Li held a piece of intelligence in his hand, concerning the Saint Crystal Mine in Tianxing Sea.
Jiang Li had already visited the main peak of Xingding Peak to inquire about Tianxing Sea.
A Saint Crystal Mine had appeared in a large high-grade spirit stone mine in the Eastern Star Sea region of Tianxing Sea.
This mine was jointly managed by several forces.
They were the Chaos Holy Land, the Shimo Sect, the Taiqing Holy Land, the Ziwei Holy Land, as well as the True Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.
These six forces divided the large high-grade spirit stone mines in the entire Eastern Star Sea region.
Now that a brand new Saint Crystal Mine had appeared, the shares would naturally have to be reallocated.
Previously, after much negotiation, the shares of the high-grade spirit stone mines had been allocated.
For this new Saint Crystal Mine, the major forces had decided to have their younger generation disciples compete for the allocation to avoid major disputes.
Each major force would send its most elite disciples to participate in the competition.
As for the specific method of competition, arrangements would be made upon arrival in the Tianxing Sea region.
The Shimo Sect had offered many rewards. If they could secure a larger share of the Saint Crystal Mine, they would receive spiritual medicine, saint crystals, and the sect would also grant rewards of top-grade divine pills and divine weapons.
Jiang Li looked at the intelligence in his hand and fell into deep thought.
If this Saint Crystal Mine was so important, it was possible that the Chaos Holy Land would even send their Divine Son, Xiao Yun.
This could be an opportunity to probe Xiao Yun's strength.
The sect's rewards were also extremely enticing.
It would be worthwhile to compete.
"Qingyu pays respects to Young Master!" Just as Jiang Li was lost in thought, Mu Qingyu's clear and melodious voice sounded in his ear.
Jiang Li snapped back to attention and looked at the beautiful Mu Qingyu.
"Qingyu, take a look at this!" Jiang Li then handed the intelligence about the Saint Crystal Mine in Tianxing Sea to Mu Qingyu.
Mu Qingyu nodded and took the intelligence from Jiang Li.
Only Mu Qingyu and Jiang Li were in the vast hall.
The surrounding spiritual energy was slowly absorbed into Jiang Li's body.
After a while, Mu Qingyu finished reading the intelligence in her hand, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Young Master, this Saint Crystal competition is likely to be not simple. With so many forces involved, and with so many people from our Shimo Sect participating, it will surely not be simple!" Mu Qingyu's cherry lips parted slightly, and she continued.
Jiang Li nodded, acknowledging that there were indeed many forces involved.
Moreover, with Saint Crystal Mines at stake, anything could happen.
"You will not participate in this Saint Crystal competition. Help me guard Xingding Peak!" Jiang Li then said to Mu Qingyu beside him.
As soon as Jiang Li spoke, Mu Qingyu's expression dimmed slightly, but she quickly nodded heavily.
"Young Master, I will guard Xingding Palace well!" Mu Qingyu said quickly.
Jiang Li nodded. Due to its previous decline, Xingmo Peak, despite his presence now, still lacked in depth. The number of top young masters was not large.
With Mu Qingyu guarding it in his absence, it would be better.
Following that, the two began to discuss the many details of the Saint Crystal competition in Tianxing Sea.
"By the way, do you know anything about Xue Yufei, the Saintess of Youmo Peak?" Jiang Li seemed to recall something and asked Mu Qingyu.
Xue Yufei, the Saintess of Youmo Peak?
Mu Qingyu blinked her eyes, her expression becoming somewhat strange.
Then, Jiang Li recounted some of their experiences on Youmo Peak.
After Jiang Li finished speaking, Mu Qingyu let out a wry smile.
"Young Master... Saintess Xue, she... she..." Mu Qingyu's face turned slightly red, and she hesitated hesitantly.
Jiang Li was taken aback. Did that Xue Yufei have something special about her?
This was the first time he had seen Mu Qingyu act so coy.
"Young Master, Saintess Xue previously pursued me, wanting to become my Dao companion!" Mu Qingyu said, her cheeks flushed, and then lowered her head deeply.
Hiss... pursuing Mu Qingyu...
So she was a lesbian...
Jiang Li now understood. So Xue Yufei considered him a love rival.
Jiang Li never dreamed that he would one day be considered a love rival by a demoness.
"Young Master, I will go and explain things to her later!" Mu Qingyu continued, looking at Jiang Li with her tender, alluring gaze.
Jiang Li took a deep breath and then said, "Forget it, don't bother with her!"
Now that he knew the reason, it was fine. As for that person, if she dared to cause any trouble,
Jiang Li would certainly teach her a lesson.
Following that, the two continued to discuss the matter of the Tianxing Sea Saint Crystal competition.
...
Shimo Sect.
Xuanyu Palace.
A large number of cultivators were gathered in Xuanyu Palace at this moment.
Powerful auras emanated from these cultivators.
The grand and luxurious palace was enveloped by their potent energies, making it feel incredibly oppressive.
"Your Holiness the Divine Son, the preparations are complete. For this Saint Crystal competition, our Xuanyu Palace will surely emerge victorious!" Su Pingxu said respectfully from below the palace.
At the top of the palace stood a proud and imposing young man.
An extremely vast aura flowed from the young man.
"What about Xia Qingying's side?" Ye Wushang slowly opened his eyes and said.
Although Ye Wushang's voice was deep, it carried an extremely strong sense of pressure, making all the cultivators in the hall feel as if they had a lump in their throats.
"Replying to Your Holiness the Divine Son, Xia Qingying has also prepared many measures. She attaches great importance to this Saint Crystal competition!" someone else from Xuanyu Palace replied.
Ye Wushang nodded knowingly. This matter was of great importance, and that woman would certainly not let go of this opportunity.
Furthermore, the Sect Master had even actively approached them for this Saint Crystal.
It was only natural that this woman would put in more effort.
Following that, everyone began to discuss how to obtain the greatest benefits in this competition.
This competition also involved the Chaos Holy Land and other forces.
The internal competition within their Shimo Sect was also fierce.
Therefore, meticulous planning was necessary.
Not only Xuanyu Palace, but many other areas within the Shimo Sect were also discussing this matter.
