194 Breaking through to the Golden core stage

Lu Qing did not wish for Kong Tong to attain Dao.

However, stopping him from reaching the nascent Soul Stage was not a matter that could be done in a short time. He had to think about it in the long run. Furthermore, the best time to strike was when he was preparing to break through to the ninth-stage golden core realm.

He didn’t need to think too much about it now.

Since Kong Tong was focused on his cultivation and did not care much about other matters, Lu Qing knew who he should keep an eye on.

Yunxuan.

The few times that he had monitored Yun Xuan’s meetings with the sect leader’s people and the Husheng trading company, Lu Qing could feel the strong sense of helplessness from him.

He was the representative figure of the sect leader’s line, so he had to speak for the sect leader’s line. Yang Xiang was greedy, but his position in the Husheng trading company had also brought a lot of benefits to the sect leader.

He had died for no reason, and now rumors were flying around, pointing fingers at them. Of course, he had to take action.

However, on the other side, hai Sande was supporting them. The people of the hai clan were jumping up and down, demanding the discipline Hall to release Lu and hai as soon as possible. He wanted Husheng Merchant House to investigate thoroughly and wanted him, the chief of discipline Hall, to take responsibility for the poor supervision.

He was under a lot of pressure.

He had met his master once, but his master had told him to deal with Wuwu himself.

How was he going to deal with this?

He forcefully locked Lu chaoxi and hai Changsheng up. Then, he instructed his subordinates to quickly deal with the remaining matters.

Yun Xuan planned to first clean up the mess of the dead Yang Xiang, and then deal with this matter publicly. In the absence of any follow-up evidence, the pressure on his side would be reduced.

But,

Since Lu Qing had heard it, how could he let it go?

He would immediately send a voice transmission to inform them!

Lu chaoxi and hai Changsheng were locked up, but their movements were mainly controlled. They were not allowed to leave the designated cave abodes.

However, they were still able to communicate with the outside world, and the cultivators of the hai family would often come to visit them.

The discipline Hall was still trying to stop this, but Wufu couldn’t!

The hai family’s cultivators had been stopped once, and the second time they came, Li Yanling had personally led them.

Yun Xuan had actually been there at the time, but he had hesitated and did not dare to jump out.

If the two of them were to face each other directly, it would be difficult to end the matter.

He could only let them in.

Once meant twice, and this matter would be considered resolved.

After that, every two days, cultivators from the hai clan would come.

After Lu Qing told Lu chaoxi that the sect leader’s branch was going to clean up the mess of the dead Yang Xiang through voice transmission, Lu chaoxi took advantage of a time when the hai clan’s cultivators came over to leak the news.

When the cultivators of the hai clan learned of this matter, they also placed great importance on it.

They immediately organized their forces and even caught someone red-handed.

Oh, he was done for.

Not only did he not clean up his mess, but the hai family had also obtained more evidence.

Then he wouldn’t be able to keep it.

The discipline Hall first announced that the dead Yang Xiang would be removed from the sect’s register, and all the honor of the sect’s cultivators would be erased. His family would no longer receive long-term compensation from the sect.

After Yang Xiang was convicted, Lu chaoxi and hai Changsheng were naturally recognized as people who had rendered Meritorious Service. They were tasked to hunt down the sect’s traitors who had fled for fear of their crimes. As for the fact that they had killed Yang Xiang, it was not a crime.

At the same time, the discipline Hall also promised that they would thoroughly investigate Husheng trading company.

In addition, in the name of the Husheng trading company, a sum of compensation would be given to the Lu family and the Gongsun family.

This was what was announced to the outside world, but in essence, the so-called thorough investigation meant that the sect leader’s faction had admitted defeat. They would definitely have to hand over a certain position, or even many positions, to avoid this matter. On one hand, it was the result of the internal struggle in the sect. On the other hand, he had to give an explanation to the gong Sun family and the Lu family.

As for those who were cleared out, those who were not important and were close to Yang Xiang would probably end up worse. As for those who were more important and needed protection, they would probably just give up their positions.

The hai family cultivators would not let go of these empty positions.

Even the Lu and Gongsun families had some gains.

There were six members of the Lu family in the sect. Other than Lu Wenen and Li Yanling, the clan had also sent in four other children over the years, and their talent was average. These four children would definitely not be of much use now. In the future, they would only be able to increase the family’s influence in the sect.

However, Lu Wenen alone was enough for the time being.

He was now a second-tier foundation building cultivator and could be considered to be in the middle level of the sect.

Under the Lu family’s arrangement, he and his wife Gongsun que were arranged to work in Husheng trading company. The job was not bad, and they would probably earn a lot of money in the future.

The sect leader’s faction had completely admitted defeat on this matter.

The sect had two major businesses. The Flying Cloud trading company basically only did local business, and the influence of the two was similar. The Husheng trading company was originally completely controlled by the sect leader’s branch, and the hai family’s branch had little say in it. However, after this incident, the influence of the sect leader’s line in Husheng trading company had a great decline.

However, there was one thing that the faction leader refused.

It was the Gongsun family who had suggested this.

What they meant was that they didn’t want to do business with Husheng Merchant House anymore. The Gongsun family seemed to be very angry about this attack.

Taking advantage of the situation, the main families of the Lu and hai families suggested that they could take on this part of the work.

Not only did they want to take over the trade with the Gongsun family, but they also said that they wanted to take over all the inter-state trade between the Feiyun state and the Xue state.

The four Yi sects in Husheng were mainly in charge of the trade between the sect and other places. Specifically, they were in the north and south.

The business with Wu State and Jin state in the South would definitely be the largest.

...

However, the Feiyun state and the Xue state were closely connected. Although the scale of trade between the two states was not as large as that in the South, as the Xue state was small, it was still a great benefit.

Not to mention the sect master’s bloodline, even the hai clan’s cultivators didn’t agree.

The cultivators of the hai family were completely different from the main hai family. There were many more cultivators in the hai clan who didn’t have the surname hai.

However, some people were very insistent on this matter. Moreover, behind them stood a great God like hai Sande.

Li Yanling also supported him.

The Lu Corporation was her in-law’s family. As for the hai Corporation, her master had this intention, so of course, she would support it.

As for the interests of the sect,

Sigh, who cares.

Moreover, weren’t the Lu and hai families also vassals of the sect? Wasn’t it the same whether the sect controlled it themselves or let the two of them control it?

On this matter, the two sides began to argue for a long time, and there were even some small conflicts.

After hai Changsheng had been ‘released’ from prison, he had been dancing happily. He had always wanted to drag Lu chaoxi along.

...

This matter was related to the Lu family’s interests. By right, Lu chaoxi should have been involved in this.

However, there was one thing that he couldn’t be distracted by.

On the eighth day after he came out of the discipline Hall, Li Yanling began her closed-door cultivation.

She was going to break through to the Golden core stage.

I’m done, good night everyone.
