"Then after you take Wan'er down, can we send people to mine?"
Seeing that Liu Hao was not willing to reveal too much, Lingxuan asked.
"Can!"
Liu Hao nodded and said, "As long as we don't mine in the fissure zone, it will have no impact on us."
Lingxuan immediately nodded and said, "Okay, you take Wan'er down. I'll ask Wang Qing to stay here and prevent the mining people from getting close."
After saying that, he turned to Wang Qing and said, "Do you understand what Ah Hao said?"
"Well, I understand!"
Wang Qing nodded and said, "I will make arrangements later."
After saying that, Wang Qing didn't leave, but just waited there, as if he wanted to wait for Liu Hao to take Wan'er down first.
Liu Hao didn't care and said to Ling Wan'er, "Wan'er, come with me!"
Ling Wan'er nodded and followed.
When he came to the crack zone, Liu Hao squatted down and said, "Come, I will carry you."
Ling Wan'er didn't think much, nodded, and lay directly on Liu Hao's back.
Liu Hao carried Ling Wanhe directly down the crack.
…
"..."
Outside the crack zone, Wang Qing was a little confused when he saw this scene, "Sect Master, Wan'er is lying on a man's back like this, this..."
Lingxuan said disapprovingly, "He also wants to help Wan'er practice. Don't pay too much attention to this little detail."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Go and bring people over to mine."
Then he said, "Remember to bring more people here, the faster the mining, the better."
Wang Qing nodded and said, "Yes, I know."
After saying that, he didn't leave.
Instead, he frowned and said, "Sect Master, this Liu Hao, I always feel a little weird. Can you really believe it?"
"Just because he helped me stabilize the position of the sect leader, he is worthy of trust."
Lingxuan said, "Elder Wang Qing, you don't have to think too much. If the sky really collapses today, I will support you."
"..."
Wang Qing was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said quickly, "Sect Master, don't get me wrong, I have no other intentions. I, Wang Qing, am a member of the Huo Ling Sect, so naturally I will only think about the Huo Ling Sect and nothing else."
Idea.”
Lingxuan nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go and get busy."
"yes!"
Wang Qing nodded and retreated.
Following Wang Qing's leaving figure, Lingxuandang followed him and left even if his body moved.
…
Two hours later.
Lingxuan returned to Huolingzong.
As soon as he came back, the great elder Zhang Qifeng ran over.
"Sect Master, something happened."
Zhang Qifeng said in a deep voice.
Lingxuan was not too surprised. As he walked towards his residence, he said, "Tell me, what happened?"
"Now, basically no one in the entire human race is willing to do business with us."
Zhang Qifeng said, "We can't receive any resources, we can't refine the elixirs, and all the original orders from the sect have been cancelled."
"Moreover, those forces don't intend to pay back the original accounts."
"They also said that it's okay to let them pay it back. They will pay it back after the grievances between us and Tianyang Sect are resolved."
"Not only them, but also the casual cultivators have this attitude now."
Hearing this, Lingxuan sneered.
He said, "This has been expected for a long time. What's the fuss about?"
"Sect Master, it's not just that!"
Zhang Qifeng said, "Our Tianyang Sect disciples, as long as they leave the sect, they are basically either dead or defecting."
"According to my observations and inquiries, we disciples were targeted as soon as we left the sect."
"Those who target them are forcing them to withdraw from the sect."
"And those who were forced to resign from the sect were basically taken over by Na Gu Xingyuan."
"I heard that Gu Xingyuan wanted to build another Fire Spirit Sect in the third domain."
"In addition to those who are willing to quit the sect and follow Gu Xingyuan, there are also some who are unwilling."
"And these disciples who are unwilling to follow Gu Xingyuan are basically dead."
"Although there are not many people, but..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Qifeng also sighed and said, "Sect Master, I feel that continuing like this is not an option."
Then he said, "We have to find a way to solve this problem!"
Hearing this, Lingxuan's face showed a deep look of solemnity.
Then, he waved his hand and said, "You first ask the disciples of the sect not to go out."
Then he said, "Let me think about other things first and then talk about them."
"yes!"
Zhang Qifeng nodded, said no more, and retreated silently.
After Zhang Qifeng retreated, Lingxuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
For him, the current Huo Ling Sect is actually a mess.
If possible, he would rather let Liu Hao enter Tianyang Sect.
In this way, Huo Ling Sect won't have much trouble.
Unfortunately, he knew that it was impossible for the Diyang Sect to recruit Liu Hao into the Tianyang Sect.
It is impossible to do everything possible to help Liu Hao enter Tianyang Sect, naturally, let alone help Huoling Sect.
Furthermore, Liu Hao himself was not willing to enter the Tianyang Sect, so he naturally could not say anything more.
Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and hold on to the current mess.
Who made him the patriarch?
"Sect Master, I am Wang Qing, I have something to ask for!"
At this time, Wang Qing's voice came from outside.
Wang Qing came back in one step from Xian Lingxuan.
He is going to take some disciples to mine the 'Star Flame Mine'.
It should be for this reason that I came here now.
"come in!"
Lingxuan knocked his head and said.
Wang Qing entered the courtyard and came to Lingxuan.
He cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master, I just had an exchange with the great elder, and I basically understand some of the situation in the sect."
Then he said, "I came here just to ask you whether the mining of the Xingyan mineral veins should continue?"
"Hold it!"
Lingxuan shook his head helplessly, waved his hands and said, "Don't let those disciples who are loyal to the sect suffer anymore."
Wang Qing asked again, "Then should I stay with the sect, or should I go to the Xingyan mine?"
"You go over there!"
Lingxuan said, "We also need manpower over there."
"good!"
Wang Qing nodded and was about to retreat.
"Elder Wang Qing!"
However, just when Wang Qing was about to retreat, Lingxuan stopped him again.
Wang Qing turned around and asked Lingxuan, "Sect Master, is there anything else?"
"Elder Wang Qing, regarding the situation of our sect, you have also arrived."
Lingxuan said, "You and I have been friends for many years. Although I have some kindness towards you, this kindness is not enough for you to spend your future here."
Then he said, "So, I want to ask you, are you really willing to live and die with our Huo Ling Sect?"
"Sect Master, there is no need to talk about favors or anything like that."
Wang Qing immediately said, "I, Wang Qing, am not a good person, but I still know what is good and bad."
"Now is the time when the Huo Ling Sect needs manpower."
"On the sect master's side, apart from us elders who can be trusted, who else can be trusted?"
"If I, Wang Qing, choose to leave at this time, am I still a human being?"
"The suzerain trusts me, then I must be worthy of the suzerain's trust."
"It is absolutely impossible to betray the sect at this time."
Hearing this, Lingxuan nodded happily.
Said, "Then let me tell you, in fact, Wan'er and Liu Hao are already together."
"It's just that, due to some reasons, it cannot be announced to the public yet."
"And Wan'er's talent was also developed by Liu Hao."
"With Liu Hao's strength and talent, you are here too."
"They will definitely have a broader sky in the future."
"I asked you to go over and protect them because I trust you."
"I have no other requirements. I just hope that you can do your best to ensure that they are safe while practicing inside."
"There won't be any surprises."
Wang Qing was also stunned when he heard this.
He knew that the relationship between Liu Hao and Ling Wan'er might not be as simple as imagined.
However, I didn't expect that these two people were already together.
Of course, I was shocked.
What Lingxuan said later made him feel a little relieved.
"Liu Hao's strength and talent are indeed enough for Wan'er."
Wang Qing nodded and said, "As long as this Liu Hao is trustworthy, then Wan'er will find a good home."
After saying that, he cupped his hands towards Lingxuan and said, "Don't worry, Sect Master, I treat Wan'er as my own daughter. I promise not to let anyone get close to interfere with them."
Lingxuan nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Go."
"yes!"
Wang Qing nodded and retreated.
…
Less than a quarter of an hour after Wang Qing had just retreated, he came running over to report to Lingxuan again.
"Sect Master, Hermione of the Longyang Sect would like to see you."
Hearing this report, Lingxuan's brows also frowned slightly.
At times like this, basically all people and forces are trying to avoid the Fire Spirit Sect. Why would Hermione come here at this time?
Immediately, he said, "Did she say what happened?"
The reporting voice outside said, "She said she wanted to talk to you about Liu Hao!"
Hearing this, Lingxuan pondered for a moment and then said, "Go and bring her over!"
"yes!"
The voice of reporting disappeared.
A moment later, Hermione appeared in his yard.
Seeing Hermione, Lingxuan frowned and said, "Hermione, what do you want to talk about Liu Hao?"
"Master Lingxuan, I'm actually not here to talk to you about Liu Hao."
Hermione first bowed her hands in salute, and then said, "I am here to discuss cooperation with you on the order of my father."
"A matter of cooperation?"
Lingxuan frowned and said, "Don't you know what the current situation of our Huo Ling Sect is?"
"Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble when you come to discuss cooperation with us at this time?"
At this point, Lingxuan's face darkened, "No, that's not right. Your father and the elders of the Longyang Sect are all profit-seeking people. They cannot have good intentions when discussing cooperation with me."
As he spoke, he frowned and said to Hermione, "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
Hermione quickly replied, "Master Lingxuan has misunderstood. This time, my father really wants to discuss cooperation with you."
"..."
Lingxuan looked at Hermione in confusion and said, "What is going on?"
"Master Lingxuan, do you still remember what I said to Junior Brother Liu Hao before?"
Hermione immediately said, "Actually, the last time I went to see him, I wanted to get him to join the Longyang Sect. My father and the elders wanted me to bring Junior Brother Liu Hao back to the Longyang Sect. For this reason
, even, can make me become the woman of Junior Brother Liu Hao."
"..."
When Lingxuan heard this, he immediately sneered, "It's still the same as before. When I didn't know about Liu Hao's drama, I just chased him away like flies. Now that I know Liu Hao's ability and talent, I started to
I will win people over at all costs, and for this reason..."
He said, turning to Hermione, "Even my daughter can become a bargaining chip."
"Master Lingxuan, I'm not afraid of your jokes either."
Hermione said, "Even now, I like Junior Brother Liu Hao, but I know that Junior Brother Liu Hao actually has no feelings for me."
"So, I never said anything more."
"I just hope that Junior Brother Liu Hao can live a better life, so for this reason, I even went against the sect's wishes and recommended him to join the Fire Spirit Sect."
"This time, the performance of my father and elders really disappointed me."
"However, in the end, when I expressed that I wanted to break away from him, he said that he would no longer force me, or even ask me to recruit Junior Brother Liu Hao into the sect."
"So, the last time I went to see Junior Brother Liu Hao, it can actually be said that it was my own personal behavior."
"Junior Brother Liu Hao is aware of this. He also explained to me the situation of the Fire Spirit Sect at that time."
"I didn't say anything at the time, but after I returned, I reported the matter to my father and a group of elders."
"Originally, my father and the elders didn't say anything."
"But, just yesterday, when we received news that the Huo Ling Sect had been isolated by various forces in the human race, my father discussed with the elders and wondered if we could help you."
"So, I was sent here to talk to you about cooperation."
"And my father also said that in today's Longyang Sect, there is no such thing as whether to cause trouble or not."
"No matter how miserable it is, it's just that it fell a little earlier."
"Anyway, the current situation of Longyang Sect is already very miserable."
"On the contrary, the Huo Ling Sect is in need of help now. If the Long Yang Sect reaches out at this time, the Huo Ling Sect will be indebted to the Long Yang Sect in the future."
"Then, when the Huoling Sect recovers, the Longyang Sect will still have time to make a comeback."
Hearing this, Lingxuan was stunned for a moment.
I didn't react for a long time.
"Master Lingxuan, you should know who I am. If my father and others didn't have this intention, or if I wasn't sure of their thoughts, I would definitely not take this trip."
Seeing that Lingxuan didn't speak, Hermione said again, "Because I won't harm Wan'er, and I can't harm Junior Brother Liu Hao."
"hehe……"
Lingxuan reacted, smiled, and said, "Niece Hermione, I believe you, you don't need to explain."
Hermione asked carefully, "What does Master Lingxuan mean...?"
