Chapter 1184: The Key Person
"Senior Liu, there are some things I want to clarify with you."
After a long silence, Xia Liu spoke.
"Is it about Mingyue?"
Since his return, Liu Hong hadn't seen his daughter, and he vaguely guessed some things in his heart.
As for the specifics, he wasn't entirely sure.
"Yes, Miss Liu and I are not suited for each other. I am very grateful for Miss Liu's help during this time."
"Oh? How are you not suited? You two are about the same age, and Mingyue's talent isn't weak. If she dedicates herself to cultivation in the future, she can definitely reach the fifteenth level of Qi Cultivation."
Xia Liu's statement made Liu Hong a bit anxious.
Liu Hong cherished talent the most.
If someone like Xia Liu, a rare genius of the ages, could become a pair with his daughter,
that would be extremely perfect.
Moreover, his daughter also had feelings for him.
"It's not that. The main issue is that I already have a wife in the mundane world."
Xia Liu knew Liu Hong favored him, but he still had to be honest.
He couldn't let father and daughter be trapped in it.
After a moment of silence, Liu Hong nodded, "I see, then indeed it's not suitable..."
He wasn't as surprised as Xia Liu had imagined.
Nor was he too disappointed, since he rarely got involved in young people's affairs.
If a young and promising man like Xia Liu, at his age, didn't have a girlfriend or wife, that would be strange.
Enough, enough. His daughter and he hadn't reached a more intimate stage.
Otherwise, this would truly hurt her.
"I sincerely apologize."
Xia Liu apologized earnestly again.
"Don't say that; you haven't wronged anyone. On the contrary, we need to thank you. Otherwise, in King's Canyon, we'd all have died under the array."
Liu Hong would never forget Xia Liu's help.
If not for him, he and everyone else wouldn't be standing here.
Let alone seeking revenge on the Xuantian Sect.
Xia Liu is a monstrous genius.
Monstrous geniuses have always controlled their fate; how could others meddle?
The inability to pair his daughter with him was destined from the start.
"I've spoken about this with Miss Liu too, and she's gone to train now."
Xia Liu didn't say more; he was already late in being honest about this.
He hoped Liu Mingyue hadn't completely fallen for him.
"Alright, don't dwell on it. Live as you should. The topic came up initially because Mingyue wanted to get Qingyun out of crisis, so don't mind it."
"Okay."
Liu Hong explained it so thoroughly that if Xia Liu continued to dwell on it, it would be insincere.
"Rest well these two days; we will head to Kunlun Mountain together then."
"Understood, I take my leave, Senior Liu."
After clasping his fists, Xia Liu immediately used his movement technique to leave.
He indeed needed to prepare a bit.
This time, he needed to perform well and ensure no mistakes occurred.
"Ah, Mingyue, we met Xia Liu too late..."
After endless sighs, Liu Hong expanded his Divine Sense, found Lu Mu, and learned about his daughter's situation from him.
…
With rain and wind wailing, two days quickly passed by.
On the third evening, Liu Hong and Lu Mu stood on the platform at Qingyun Hall.
Below were Elder Gao, Elder Mo, the four spirit warriors, and ten Qi Cultivation Stage nine disciples.
As darkness enveloped the world, Xia Liu suddenly appeared at Qingyun Hall.
At this time, Xia Liu had changed into the uniform of the Qingyun Sect disciples to confirm his identity.
"Everyone's here. Prepare yourselves; we're setting off."
"Yes!"
Everyone had waited too long for this outing.
To be part of this team made everyone feel truly honored.
After meeting with the Immeasurable Sect and the Western Sea Liu Family, the attack on the Xuantian Sect would commence!
Ancient grievances of thousands of years were finally to be settled.
The Ghost Gate of the Western Mountain had fallen, only waiting for the Xuantian Sect to be broken.
Two of the five Immortal Sects that had shaken the Huaxia Realm for thousands of years vanished.
In the future, perhaps the three Immortal Sects could coexist peacefully.
In complete darkness, Liu Hong led the group away from Qingyun using their movement techniques.
The following morning, King's Canyon revived with vitality once again.
The vast canyon lacked its former grand atmosphere.
That conspicuous platform now looked hideous, unbearable to behold.
Before the Qingyun Sect arrived, more than twenty people had already gathered in King's Canyon.
Among them, nearly ten figures had intimidating auras.
One person, in particular, was unfathomable.
He was the most prominent in the group, unforgettable at a glance.
With black and white eyebrows, although he maintained his appearance well, the wrinkles on his forehead were daunting.
His age was certainly not below a century.
Only at such an age could one possess such abilities.
"Sect Master Wang, greetings from Junxin."
Liu Junxin of the Western Sea Liu Family saw Wang Liang and immediately stepped forward, cupping his fists in respect.
"Second Elder of the Liu Family, Qi Cultivation level fourteen, Liu Junxin, it's been a while."
Wang Liang responded in the same manner.
His cultivation was only at the fifteenth level of Qi Cultivation.
Liu Junxin was much younger than him.
In the future, Liu Junxin was bound to reach the same realm as him. Building good relations now would be immensely beneficial in the future.
"I am grateful that Sect Master Wang remembers my name,"
Liu Junxin stated sincerely.
"Elder Junxin, you're too polite."
"Haha, none of this matters. What's important is whether the events at King's Canyon happened as Qingyun claimed."
Liu Junxin gestured for the group to inspect the site.
The Immeasurable Sect and the Western Sea Liu Family arrived earlier than Qingyun to examine the site promptly.
The shocking scene indeed surprised them.
Such destruction was indeed the work of a Qi Cultivation level fifteen cultivator.
Moreover, the lingering Dead Energy at the site confirmed appearances from the Western Mountain Ghost Gate.
"Perhaps it's as Daoist Fellow Liu said; it's not all that important. I just want to know who the pivotal rescuer was."
When Liu Hong went to the Immeasurable Sect, he didn't fully disclose the events.
He left a crucial point, that being the person who broke the formation and the strong cultivator who killed Ghost Su.
"Indeed, Elder Liu Hong kept the mystery when visiting the Liu Family. We also find it hard to believe that a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Stage could break the formation forcefully and kill Ghost Su, forcing Ye Tiande to flee."
"We'll have to wait for Daoist Fellow Liu to bring the crucial figure here."
Both Wang Liang and Liu Junxin had been fed the same scenes and narratives.
Regardless of the truth, they were both extremely curious about what kind of formidable figure Qingyun produced that could break the formation and kill Ghost Su, forcing Ye Tiande to flee for his life.
If Qingyun Sect indeed produced such a character, then after the Xuantian Sect's downfall,
the Western Sea Liu Family and the Immeasurable Sect would need to stay vigilant.
"Elder Junxin, Sect Master Wang, I, Liu, am late…"
