Actually, he felt quite contemptuous towards the Barbarian King inside. If not for the Barbarian King clinging to the Supreme Dao, how could he have cultivated Chiyou's True Body to Great Success?

If it weren't for this, the Nine Feng Tribe should be the one governing the Jiuli World.

In terms of seniority, the Nine Feng Tribe is older than the Jiuli Tribe!

Thinking of this, the Five Feng Great Witch recalled when he was young, he also faced rejection from the Supreme Dao.

The other party dismissed him with a single comment that destiny wasn't upon him.

Five Feng wasn't convinced.

The destiny of Five Feng is to not believe in destiny!

Taking a gentle sip of the fine wine used by Mu Sang's ancestor to entertain him, Five Feng said, "Mu Sang, it's been a long time since we last met."

"To report to Five Feng, it's been a total of three thousand two hundred and twenty-three years, nine months, and five days," Mu Sang respectfully responded.

Five Feng couldn't help but smile, "You remembered so clearly."

Mu Sang quickly responded, "You are the person Mu Sang respects the most in his life; not a day goes by without remembering."

Five Feng sighed slightly: "Among our wizards, there aren't many who are as honest as Mu Sang you are."

Mu Sang smiled humbly, "The Jiuli World is rich in talents and spirits. I have no other virtues but only honesty to speak of."

Five Feng: "Mu Sang, I know you're honest, so I won't hide my intentions. I've come here to discuss cooperation with those behind you."

"Ah…" Mu Sang's ancestor looked bewildered.

Has the relationship between him and the Heavenly River Dao Sect been discovered by Five Feng?

Five Feng spoke with a smile then pointed out Mu Sang's flaws.

This left Mu Sang's ancestor bewildered.

Five Feng misunderstood about the goods.

These things weren't organized by the Heavenly River Dao Sect.

But Five Feng seemed adamant that Mu Sang had strong support from the Immortal Sect.

Mu Sang's mind raced, and cautiously probed, "How much does the adult know?"

Five Feng responded confidently, "That year, you and several priests explored the underground palace left by the Heavenly River Dao Sect; only you came back alive later, so I guessed the matter was not simple. Your backer is the Heavenly River Dao Sect, isn't it?"

Mu Sang could only remain silent, though Five Feng guessed correctly, it's just that the process was slightly off.

He asked, "Is the adult interested in these peculiar goods?"

Five Feng smiled indifferently, "These trifling profits aren't worth mentioning. I want to meet those behind you."

Mu Sang secretly smiled bitterly, knowing that due to the oath constraint, how could the Heavenly River Dao Sect meet with the Great Witch of the Barbarians?

In the Taoist sect, oaths have a great binding power.

Just like when the Great Yu Dynasty swore upon Luoshui, it would really manifest.

Mu Sang's mind shifted, perhaps the matter isn't that troublesome.

He thought of Xu Qing.

But this matter must first be reported to the sect.

Mu Sang played Tai Chi and then let his True Spirit go to consult Su Qinghe.

Su Qinghe then consulted Elder Zhong, eventually deciding that Xu Qing had to handle it.

Upon receiving the news, Xu Qing found that due to his Heavenly Demon Body, he was inappropriate to descend upon the Jiuli World, so the Heavenly River Dao Sect provided the venue.

…

…

Amidst the stars.

Xu Qing and Five Feng Great Witch met.

"Are you the Immortal from the Heavenly River Dao Sect?" Five Feng asked with uncertain suspicion.

Though not versed in Heavenly Secrets or Pupil Skills, nor possessing the Magic Doors of Taoist Qi Observation, he still had his own way of discerning people. Xu Qing seemed very young to him.

This youth wasn't about the physical form but rather a kind of aura.

To be precise, in Five Feng's intuition, Xu Qing wasn't much baptized by time.

Immortals who cultivated for many years might seem lively but had a faded human aura; Great Witches were no exception.

Thus, in the Cultivation World, the aged couldn't hide their age from peers.

Yet Xu Qing was different.

His "human aura" was very strong.

This is a characteristic of youth.

Crucially, Xu Qing's cultivation wasn't weak.

The other gave him a feeling of strength not far from typical Great Witches.

Though perhaps not a Heavenly Immortal, extremely close.

"This humble Taoist Xu Changqing, greetings to Five Feng Daoist," Xu Qing casually invented a name.

He didn't deny he belonged to the Heavenly River Dao Sect.

After all, his daughter was!

Five Feng Great Witch: "The Heavenly River Dao Sect truly lives up to its name; among us barbarians at your age, even the Barbarian King might not possess half your ability."

He wasn't being flattering; rather, a bit more fearful and awestruck by the Taoist sect.

Xu Qing's achievements were surely not just due to talent, definitely linked to the Taoist sect's Immortal Law.

Xu Qing: "Daoist is too kind; may I know what brings you here?"

Five Feng Great Witch: "We barbarians favor fine wine and unique treasures, both are the fortes of your sect. Currently, in the Jiuli Tribe, luxury is on the rise. I wish to cooperate with you."

He was actually probing; if the Heavenly River Dao Sect cooperates with him, he needn't fear the Supreme Dao behind the Barbarian King.

Even though the Jiuli Tribe may be extremely powerful, and the Barbarian King the foremost in the realm, their governance isn't undefeatable. Many Great Witches are largely there under duress.

Privately, Five Feng already banded together with several Great Witches, eager to break free if possible.

For the Barbarian King's rule over Great Witches was rather brutal, extracting Ancestor Witch Essence Blood periodically.

This caused many Great Witches unable to progress further.

So most Great Witches were resigned.

Five Feng naturally was uncontent with this.

Due to the unique nature of Five Feng's True Body, losing Ancestor Witch Essence Blood doesn't hinder his cultivation; he dared not reveal this lest provoking the Barbarian King's jealousy.

If rare treasures and fine wine could act as a medium, he would find it easier liaising with other Great Witches.

Especially don't underestimate the allure of "wine."

Many things were discussed over a drink.

Five Feng hinted vaguely at his intentions.

Xu Qing naturally understood.

He didn't expect that among the barbarian Great Witches, there truly were those willing to bend.

Though internal contradictions within the barbarian tribe were currently very acute due to a lack of external pressure; certainly, other Great Witches harbored discontent towards the Barbarian King.

This was life's nature.

Realizing this could be a great chance to infiltrate the Jiuli Alliance, Xu Qing pondered.

The key point was whether Five Feng was reliable.

Still appearing hesitant.

Five Feng: "I understand what concerns you. You only need to provide high-grade Immortal Brew and rare treasures, the rest I can handle myself."

What he vaguely knew was a bit about the contracts between the Supreme Dao and Heavenly River Dao Sect etc.

Once collaborating with the Heavenly River Dao Sect, Five Feng felt he could grasp leverage over them; if trouble arose, they would surely protect him.

If ultimately failing, he could only stake his life.

Betting a life for a chance to defy fate, though costly, isn't unbearable.

Five Feng always cherished his life greatly, yet wouldn't hesitate if necessary.

Moreover, he couldn't forget the gaze from the elder of the Supreme Dao back then, like looking at a moth flying into the flame.

The opponent assumed he'd meet a dire end.

Five Feng didn't seek to prove himself grand, but he definitely wished to trample the Supreme Dao, showing who truly deserved ridicule.

Moreover, if he could cultivate the Nine Phoenix True Body, staying away from the Jiuli World wouldn't be a dilemma.

With the Nine Phoenix True Body, the Taixu Universe always held room for him and the Nine Phoenix Tribe.

Knowing full well, those Immortal Brews and rare treasures could definitely extract a layer from other Great Witches; after gaining benefits, Five Feng Great Witch trusted he could succeed in achieving the Nine Phoenix True Body's perfect realm, half a step to victory!

After hesitating, Xu Qing agreed.

But his current resources had other destinations. The good things provided to Five Feng Great Witch, presently, the Heavenly Work Institute's strength wasn't sufficient.

Though not lacking solutions.

The Pure Yang Dao Sect possessed a Pure Yang Cauldron specifically for alchemy. Additionally, a Long Spring Immortal Gourd, used to collect Elixir Qi and brew fine wine, a worldly marvel.

Xu Qing resolved to utilize the chance of his other body cultivating at the Pure Yang Dao Sect.

In his heart, he had suitable candidates to fulfill this task.

…

…

"Li Qing, what do you take me for? The grudge between us hasn't resolved yet." Zhao Jing fumed upon seeing Xu Qing's incarnation come to him.

"If successful, I'll give you ten percent of the Immortal Brew."

"No way, I want twenty percent." Zhao Jing softened upon hearing Xu Qing's lavish offer.
