Da Xuan Martial Saint

"Humph, the Yu Family is really lucky!"

He Zhengya leaned on his cane, tapping it on the bluestone brick, which emitted a sound akin to metal colliding.

He Guangxun stood by his side and whispered, "Even at the brink of death, there is a flickering of returning light; it's nothing significant. Xu Hongyu managing to find such a person in the Outer City is indeed a matter of luck. Initially, Mingxuan underestimated him, and I also paid him no heed.

Unexpectedly, this person has cultivated the Xun Wind Artistic Conception, and today he has become a formidable character."

He Zhengya said indifferently, "In this world, who dares to claim they can foresee everything? If you had known of this person's capabilities earlier and eliminated him, who else but you would be the next heir of the He Family?"

Listening to He Zhengya's words, He Guangxun could not help but lower his head and say, "It is my lack of ability."

He Zhengya looked at He Guangxun lowering his head and sighed, "You have the capability, but it's simply not enough. With your current age, even using more spiritual treasures, it would be impossible for you to reach Perfection in Bone Tempering. As for Artistic Conception, you've always been lacking that final layer... Martial Arts and Body Refining are complementary.

If the Body Tempering Method is successful, Qi-Blood will be abundant, naturally leading to keen hearing and sharp eyes, and wisdom will arise, naturally enhancing the enlightenment in Martial Arts."

Few in the Tendon Changing Realm comprehend Artistic Conception.

For Minor Achievement in Bone Tempering, there are slightly more, then more in Major Achievement, and half of those at Perfection in Bone Tempering grasp Artistic Conception. For the Five Viscera Realm, Artistic Conception is basically their foundation.

"Father, should I..."

A trace of fierceness suddenly flashed in He Guangxun's eyes.

He Zhengya leaned on his cane, tapping the ground again, his voice solemn, "Chen Mu has grown somewhat formidable. It is now somewhat difficult to kill him. It is a time of crisis, and mobilizing forces is absolutely not advisable."

Upon hearing He Zhengya's instruction, He Guangxun slightly started, because He Zhengya had mentioned 'a time of crisis.' Indeed, there was chaos due to a great drought and demons, but such matters were not enough to make He Zhengya mention 'a time of crisis' so seriously.

Noticing He Guangxun's puzzled gaze,

He Zhengya looked at him with a profound gaze and slowly said, "You might not yet know, but not long ago, Heavenly Sword, Hehuan, Blood Concealment, and the Mysterious Heavenly Sect, four Sects with true disciples, visited the Seven Profound Sect to challenge, and in seven contests, they faced seven defeats!"

"This..."

He Guangxun was suddenly somewhat dumbfounded.

He knew that even among true disciples, there were disparities. In the Seven Profound Sect, the Great Profound Peak was the leader, and its True Disciples were considered like the stars in the sky, exceptional figures. Yet they were defeated by someone from the Outer Sect.

"Four Sect's true disciples came to pay homage, and naturally, they were leaders in their respective Sect's true disciples. It's not surprising that the other peaks' true disciples in Seven Profound Sect were defeated, but I did not expect that a True Disciple from Great Profound would lose to someone from the Heavenly Sword Sect..."

He Zhengya slowly shook his head, his eyes also bore a hint of peculiarity, "True Disciple of Heavenly Sword, Zuo Qianqiu, is truly like the bright moon in the sky. In front of such a person, Chen Mu is but an ant, and the Yu Family is as easy to obliterate as flipping one's palm."

He Guangxun felt tumultuous waves in his heart but soon showed a hint of confusion.

Before such figures, the He and Yu families really amounted to nothing, but the question was, what did this have to do with them.

And just then,

He Zhengya said indifferently, "This battle among the four Sect's true disciples was to agree on settling in Yu State, and the winner may enter Yu State, with a promise made to the Seven Profound Sect to limit their scope within Yu County of the Seven Prefectures!"

He Guangxun finally showed a look of shock, no wonder He Zhengya was so solemn, so grave. If the Four Great Sects intervened in Yu County, once they entered, it would completely overturn the entire structure of Yu County!

If the Four Great Sects stationed in Yu County, the Seven Profound Sect would certainly not stand idly by; they would definitely deepen their control and governance of Yu County. That means Yu County would likely become the frontline where the major Sects contend against each other!

At this moment,

Indeed, it was not the time for rash actions.

After all, in front of such great Sect forces as the Seven Profound Sect or the Heavenly Sword Sect, the four major families of Yu County were truly nothing. Should they misjudge the situation, they could be directly ground into dust.

"Therefore, from this very day, all matters between the He Family and the Yu Family must be put aside for now, do you understand clearly?"

He Zhengya slowly looked at He Guangxun.

"Understood."

He Guangxun nodded solemnly.

Indeed, at this moment, even if there were deep-seated feuds between the He and Yu families, it was not the time for rash actions. No matter what, they had to first retract and observe, being especially cautious not to get pulled into the Sect disputes.

"By the way Father, Huaiyu sent a message saying that Light Sect and MingZhen have lost contact two days ago and don't know their whereabouts, and there was also a quake in the direction of the Wasteland Mountains, collapsing a mountain peak..."

He Guangxun remembered there was another matter to report.

He Zhengya frowned, saying, "Why wasn't this reported earlier? Send people to investigate immediately."

"Yes."

He Guangxun responded and walked out.

He Zhengya, leaning on his cane, watched He Guangxun's departing figure with a furrowed brow, thinking that it was troublesome to have incidents at this time, and compared to that, he had even more troublesome matters to handle, needing to quickly clear some traces.

And for a while, he must avoid any contact with people from the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

...

In the South City of Yu County City,

Xue Huaikong, dressed in inconspicuous gray clothes, stood on the city wall, his gaze looking into the distance.

Suddenly, a subordinate approached him and quietly reported a few words.

"Chen Mu?"

Xue Huaikong was slightly startled, then quickly recalled a name from his memory, lowering his head and muttering, "This person actually has such comprehension; perhaps initially, we should have competed with the Yu Family over this person?"
