The Shadow of Immortality

Chapter 109: Entering the Zhong Nam Sect


The smell of blood was blatantly apparent everywhere.

The mortal house was collapsing strongly, but Clark had completely taken control of it along with the other two: Beho Chenqing and Jin.

Beho Chenqing, unlike Jin who was disguised like Clark, possessed a method different from Clark's mask. He had a mortal-level Extreme Move that allowed him to wear any skin he desired, inspired by Clark's mask after all.

But Beho Chenqing stood like a spear in the sky, stained with blood.

Signs of battle were visible everywhere.

He was terrifying. He displayed his horrifying combat advantage and showed these recluses the true meaning of battle.

Clark laughed and said:

• "Then, let me say it: we divide this place equally."

• "In short: 33% of the place for each of us."

• "This is ours alone, and we will defend this place under an agreement between us."

• "In the midst of this, let's say the matter is closed and secret."

• "No one will know about this place except us, unless you want Clan Wu to chase us."

Clark's face was pale, filled with anger and shock.

The only gain from this journey was the island.

Strangely, although the Will handed the place to me, I couldn't open the place and the records that hid the immortal-level Extreme Moves inside!

Why??

Because Ling Lan thought Wu Yongshi would try to take the inheritance by force from his brother.

So after securing the resources and her legacy, she sealed the place with her son's blood. And of course, Wu Yong and Bing Chenging are not brothers, but merely share the same mother.

So naturally, each possesses different father's blood.

Thus, Clark needed to circumvent that mechanism, making the situation disgusting and difficult for him to solve.

But he calmed down after all. True, the matter was intriguing, but he just needed to wait.

Nothing would escape his grasp.

In the middle of Clark's thoughts, a message arrived.

Xiu Chenging had sent to Clark:

• "I spoke with the Sect Elders, and they were happy about the arrival of someone with amazing refinement expertise like you, who also possesses high-level soul methods."

• "So, let's meet in the Sound Forest."

Clark laughed.

Soon he shouted at Jin:

• "Take me to the Sound Forest! I have many tasks. Hahahahahaha!"

Jin looked angrily at Clark. He knew after all that Clark had managed to build an extremely strong network of relationships.

But the Sound Forest belonged to the Zhong Nam Sect from the Central Plains!!!

Jin was truly surprised, but he had no choice. After all, he needed to take care of his side of the island.

Everything had been divided, and now he and Beho Chenqing were responsible for protecting the island and hiding it from everyone!!!

Clark and Jin teleported, while Jin later returned.

The Sound Forest was a natural place for Sound Dao.

Therefore, if you wanted to produce a sweet sound, it would come out sweet. If you wanted to produce an aggressive sound, it would come out aggressive. And so on.

So it was the best place for cultivators of the Sound Path like Han Chenqing.

Speaking of Han Chenqing, his wife appeared before me.

She had descended from the sky softly and radiantly.

Clark asked:

• "Strange! Why isn't your daughter with you?"

Xiu Chenqing replied:

• "Well, she's busy with her training."

Clark sighed and said:

• "Well, since we're in the same boat, tell me about the Sect, its layers, and everything about it."

Xiu Chenqing explained:

• "Well, there are several factions, but the three most prominent are: the Han Faction, the Gu Faction, and the Liu Faction."

• "In my husband's absence, these factions become prominent, unfortunately."

• "As for the Sect Elders, like Qiu Di and the Immortal Huo Maier, unfortunately they are also biased."

Clark laughed and said:

• "So, in short, without your husband, you are in the midst of trouble."

• "Alright, Lady Xiu Chenqing, first we must stand out before the crowd and highlight the value of the Han Faction."

• "You might wonder: why are you nothing without your husband? But in reality, even your husband is nothing."

Xiu Chenqing was both surprised and angry:

• "Explain your stance!"

Clark sighed:

• "I didn't mean it that way. My point is that it doesn't solely revolve around strength."

• "What makes the Han Faction strong is that Han Chenqing is steadfast and fights like a mule, never retreating."

• "Because he is strong and can solve any problem, but what Han lacks is that he is also considered an Elder in the Sect, and also doesn't have real benefit for trade or anything."

• "Therefore, once I highlight that my soul methods will make the Han Faction shine brilliantly."

• "Meaning: without Han Chenqing, you and your daughter will have a thousand accounts."

• "This way, you get out of your crisis."

Xiu Chenqing's eyes shone:

• "I didn't expect you to be so clever!"

Clark looked disgusted:

• "So, what did you expect?"

• "Well, I expected you to be an idiot with a disfigured face!"

Laugh!

Clark laughed like a madman:

• "So what? Did you think everything was free?"

• "I'm sorry, but I will know everything that happens inside the faction and the Sect."

• "I will be the most knowledgeable about our business transactions."

• "As for the division among us, I will take more than half: fifty percent for me, twenty percent for An Er, while you and your husband get ten percent each."

Clark laughed internally.

While Xiu Chenqing showed hatred in her heart, on the surface she agreed.

She couldn't restrain Clark after all.

But the issue of their daughter taking more than twenty percent was intentional.

After all, Clark would exploit it.

But why would they harbor hatred towards Clark? After all, they created this situation: not having external support, or anyone from the Sect among the emerging fairies, and not just their daughter An Er.

Because of that, of course, their foundations will weaken. That is, if they even have foundations!

It was truly laughable.

What gives their personal dignity value?

Nothing actually. Nothing! That was Clark's feeling.

As for the twenty percent share from their daughter's portion, it was just personal hypocrisy, without any real regard for them!!

In their case, they possessed power, but Han Chenqing's power doesn't solidify benefits for him and his family, and that's what makes him suffer from the real problem for his family after all.

What should he do?

Unfortunately, he couldn't even think of an answer. Why? Because of the many tasks on his shoulders, making him suffer from this problem.

And the funny thing is, the more he delayed finding a solution, the more difficult and worse it became for his daughter, pitifully.

This is the reality of clans after all. What should Han Chenqing do? I didn't think of an answer, but thought: what will I do for myself?

Clark finally entered the Zhong Nam Sect, which was wonderfully filled with plains, meadows, and rivers.

The houses and buildings belonging to the Sect were distributed everywhere, and Clark also felt all kinds of strong and weak auras alike.

But a very short woman arrived, possessing an eighth rank (Saint) aura.

She had a calm atmosphere around her, and she didn't show signs of malice or baseness.

She even welcomed Clark warmly.

After all, they would welcome him like this! He possesses great trade for them, and it would be in their own name.

That lady was called "Huo Maier."

She is that old woman Xiu Chenqing mentioned.

But Clark didn't expect her to be so old.

Everyone entered the meeting building. The room was simple and elegant at the same time. No drinks were served; calmness prevailed.

Huo Maier and Qiu Di from the Elders, while:

The Han Faction attended represented by his wife.

The Gu Faction attended with its leader Gu Changyi and his wife Mei Er.

The Liu Faction led by Liu Cao Cao and his wife Hana Er.

Thus the meeting was complete. But everyone had hostile looks towards Clark and Xiu Chenqing.

Perhaps because Clark resorted to Xiu Chenqing.

Gu Changyi spoke (he was third in strength after Han Chenqing, while of course the first place was for the Sect Elders):

• "Zo Long, we've heard about you. But the best faction that can take care of you is my faction: the Gu Faction."

• "While the Han Faction is busy developing their own daughter, they won't support you."

Xiu Chenqing spoke:

• "Not true! Zo Long is my daughter's husband!"

Mei Er spoke sarcastically:

• "Oh! Fairy Xiu Chenqing didn't tell us about such details!"

• "Are you planning to monopolize Zo Long just for yourself without the Sect?!"

Xiu Chenqing angrily said:

• "How dare you?! After all, I grew up here inside the Sect, while you and your husband are newcomers!!!"

Xiu Chenqing's words were strong and good. Of course, if it were a dogfight and curses, but in reality she had fallen before everyone in a pitiful way.

Perhaps if she had controlled her anger, she would have had an actual voice. But now, even this opportunity she lost in a pitiful way.

But one of them, Qiu Di, spoke angrily:

• "Xiu Chenqing! What's wrong with you?! Don't you respect the great council of our Sect?! Where did you get such boldness and impudence?!"

Xiu Chenqing stood up and bowed. Grief was evident on her features. After all, Qiu Di was biased towards the others against them, unlike Lady Huo Maier who was neutral.

Now, all that remains is Clark!!!
