Chapter 189: Not adding insult to injury

"Why do you say this?" Kong Shangzhenjun asked.

"When the demon sword fought with me, five small demon cultivators were released from it.

The aura of each one is even more frightening than that of the combined Dzogchen brothers, and they have probably reached the peak level.

If they weren't fast enough, my clone wouldn't be able to come back.

There are five guards of this level, how could he be an ordinary cultivator?"

"It seems that this person has a deeper background. Is it related to the Demon Elephant Sect?

It's a pity that I can't leave the island, otherwise I will be noticed by the old guys in the Hongqing world.

I let you go because your level is low, your body skills are fast, and you have a clone, so you are not easily discovered.

This opportunity was perfect, but alas, I missed it.”

“Father, the ‘Fuyin Sect’ under the Zhiyuan Sect and the Aluo Island under the ‘Xilomen’ are two first-level sects that have close business dealings with Hongqingjie.

After we return, we can entrust them to help deal with the demon sword.

The only trouble is that the Hongqing Cultivation Alliance is very conservative.

The entry tokens issued to people doing business are, at best, awarded to the Great Power of Combination, and are rarely given to the Mahayana True Monarch.

In this case, even if they take action, they may not be able to take down the demon sword."

Kong Shangzhenjun pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Kong Yu, please ask them to check the demon sword and find out its roots first. Don't act rashly."

The night got deeper, and in another wooden house at the southeast end, Fang Zhiwei, who was meditating, groaned, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

She hurriedly took out a pill to replenish her soul and drank it, her breath gradually stabilized.

At this time, she had long lost her elegant and celestial spirit in front of others. Instead, she had a hint of ferocity. She murmured and sighed:

"What a great trick, you can actually kill my Gu insect. It seems that I still underestimate you.

That secret book only transferred 30% of the content, so I’m afraid it will be difficult to get the chance to use it in the future, which is a pity!”

Mang Han and Ye Ranyi flew back to Xuliao. They had just experienced two life and death tests, and their relationship had sublimated.

The two were so in love that it was hard to part with them. They lingered for a day before finally saying goodbye.

Returning to Fuying, Jin Ziming hurriedly summoned the elders and key personnel to learn about the latest situation.

Second Elder Li Wenhang said:

"The distribution market is generally quite normal."

The third elder, Deng Qinping, looked a little ugly and said:

"The big project of Dan Dao Sect was lost to Lingyun Sect three days ago. Qingyu Sect got a very small share, and we got nothing."

Jin Ziming asked in a deep voice:

"Have you figured out the reason for the lost order?"

“Shuiyangge’s quote is slightly lower than both of these two companies, but the problem still lies in the high-level relationship.

Our main support point is at the middle level. Two customers with good relationships have assured me that at worst, we can get a small share.

But at the beginning of the final evaluation meeting, the branch chief elder spoke first, saying that the Lingyun Sect had given great support in the past.

Now that they are facing a lot of competitive pressure, Dan Dao Sect should reciprocate the favor.

This project does not consider opponents who have a bad relationship with the Lingyun Sect.

He set the tone as soon as he came on, so middle-level customers naturally didn't dare to stand up for us."

Jin Ziming didn't speak for a long time, thought for a long time, and said:

"Qin Ping, don't be discouraged. In the future, we will be more actively involved in Dan Dao Sect's projects.

Business can be more radical, but I don't believe it, they are monolithic."

"Where are the others? Any other important news?" Jin Ziming asked.

Li Yuanzheng had been scratching his head and couldn't bear it for a long time, so he hurriedly said:

"Great Elder, I have some good news to report."

"What's a good thing? Tell me."

"Do you still remember Elder Sheng of the Starlight Sect who is responsible for the admission of new equipment?

Our supporting equipment has never received the certificate, it is just stuck.

Every time you go to see him, even if you go in person, he is lukewarm and has a strange attitude."

"Remember, we met some time ago."

"He was demoted because he accidentally offended the branch chief elder, making the latter extremely angry.

Although it has not been officially announced yet, everyone knows it. It is said that the person sent from the headquarters to pick him up will arrive in seven days.

Elder Sheng will be transferred back to the headquarters and will be relegated to the sidelines, responsible for some insignificant chores.

It's good now, the big mountain pressing on our heads is finally gone.

Although I don’t know if the newcomers will accept us, at least there are variables.” Li Yuanzheng said with a smile.

"Is this confirmed?"

The other party nodded, and Xie Xiangyang on the side agreed:

"I have heard about this in other sects, it should be reliable."

Jin Ziming did not show the joy that Li Yuanzheng expected, but fell into deep thought.

There was silence in the room, and everyone was surprised. They didn't know what the elder was thinking.

After a long time, Jin Ziming slapped his thigh and seemed to make up his mind.

"That's the end of today's meeting. Qin Ping, expedition, you two stay here for a while. I have something to explain."

After the others left, Jin Ziming looked at them and asked:

"Elder Sheng is not very old, but he is already a swordsman in the early stage of integration, right?"

"Yes, Great Elder."

Jin Ziming nodded and said without any doubt:

"Qin Ping, go to Tianxiahui immediately and contact Deputy Pavilion Master Xu using the fastest communication method...

We need to ask the headquarters to send experts to bring it over through the teleportation array, and try to deliver it before the application time tomorrow.

At that time, you will pick up the goods in person and contact me immediately after receiving them."

Deng Qinping nodded in agreement. After years of cooperation, he instantly understood Jin Ziming's intention.

The reckless man turned to Li Yuanzheng and said:

"Tomorrow afternoon, you will stay at the Fuying branch of Xingguang Sect, keep an eye on Elder Sheng's movements, and contact me at any time."

"Okay." Li Yuanzheng also had a vague guess.

At noon the next day, the three of them split up.

Jin Ziming was waiting for news in a teahouse near Xingguang Sect. In the middle of the night, Li Yuanzheng first contacted him:

"Elder Sheng is here. He is alone in the official room now."

"I'm still waiting for Qin Ping, you continue to observe."

More than an hour later, the long-awaited transmission note finally vibrated, and Deng Qinping's voice came:

"Boss, I got it."

"Okay, I'm at the 'Moonlight' teahouse near Xingguang Sect. You can bring it over."

Deng Qinping arrived after a long journey and handed Jin Ziming a jade slip and a letter.

Jin Ziming opened the letter and found that it was not an instruction from Xu Ganqing, but an introduction to the items sent. He read it carefully.

"Qin Ping, thank you for your hard work. You can go back first."

Jin Ziming immediately contacted Li Yuanzheng:

"How's the situation over there? I got something."

"Great Elder, come here.

The world is so cold. In the past, Elder Sheng’s place was always crowded with people, but today no one came to see him."

Jin Ziming entered the Xingguang Sect branch, and Li Yuanzheng pouted towards an official room, implying that no one was disturbing him there.

Jin Ziming nodded slightly and let the other party go first.

He walked to the room and knocked three times on the ajar door.
