Chapter 72: The Immortal Sect

  (The second update is sent, friends, don't forget to collect when reading)

  Qin Hong quickly ordered things to be done, and after much persuasion, he finally managed to persuade Cao Zhi to stay within the city walls of Wangcheng, and instructed Li Fei to take good care of Cao Zhi.

  Li Fei commanded the heavenly soldiers, launched a large-scale construction project, and began to repair the royal city. At the same time, he dispatched a team of heavenly soldiers to protect Cao Zhi. Meanwhile, Qin Lang followed Mo Gu Yun to find a remote house that had not been damaged, where he met with Mo Yan in the house and started talking.

  "Hmm, it should be relatively safe here." Mo Gu Yun dispersed his divine sense and took a look around, not detecting anything unusual before closing the door.

  "Your Highness, I have wronged you!" Without outsiders present, Qin Lang finally put down his guard and thought about how he had previously addressed Mo Gu Yun by name in front of everyone, which made him feel slightly embarrassed.

  "Hehe, no worries, if it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid Yanyan and I would have been in a terrible situation. I don't even have time to thank you." Mo Gyun said with a smile.

  "The princess is too serious, these are all within my duties." Qin Lin said humbly without taking any credit.

  "By the way, how did you manage to gather the heavenly army? Why would Prince Cao be so obedient to you?" Mo Gu Yun also expressed his doubts. In his opinion, Qin Liang and Cao Zhi were two people who had nothing to do with each other, but looking at Cao Zhi's appearance, Qin Liang's words seemed more effective than those of his deceased father.

  "Cough cough, this......" Qin Lang's forehead had a black line appear on it, and he was also a bit speechless. Mo Yan also couldn't help but giggle at this time, covering her mouth.

  "This, Mo Yan, you tell me, what's going on here?" Mo Gu Yun became even more interested in the reactions of the two.

  "Dad, let Qin Lang tell you himself, if you hear it, you'll laugh too." Mo Yan said, holding back her smile.

  Mo Gu Yun looked at Qin Liang with a suspicious expression, the latter could only purse his lips and recount what had happened after he and Mo Yan encountered danger, how they had originally planned to sneak into the Wang City but ended up running into Cao Zhi.

  "Finally, Li Fei led us to storm the Wang City. What happened afterwards, you also know, Princess. That's what happened. Cao Zhi is really too incompetent. If I had taken him as my younger brother, he would have driven me mad." Qin Lang said with gritted teeth, his tone filled with deep resentment and disappointment.

  "Haha, it turns out that Cao Zhi was actually scared into this state by Qin Lang." Mo Gu Yun also burst out laughing and saw the unwilling expression on Qin Lang's face. Mo Gu Yun shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, saying: "Forget it, you know? Some people can't even get close to Cao Zhi, but he calls you 'Lang Ge' (brother Lang) with such familiarity, and you're still not happy?"

  "It's also okay, he is about to become the master of the country, so I'll reluctantly accept this little brother. Hahaha!" Qin Cang shook his head and laughed loudly.

  "You're still making things difficult for me, why don't you just die!" Mo Yan couldn't take it anymore and kicked Qin Cang's butt, but was easily dodged by him.

  All three of them burst out laughing, especially Mo Gu Yun. He thought his life was over, but unexpectedly, the situation took a dramatic turn. One moment he was a traitor, and the next, he became a hero who had infiltrated the rebel army. The ups and downs of life were truly unexpected. In fact, his own safety was secondary; what Mo Gu Yun cared about most was Mo Yan. At this moment, being able to laugh heartily with Mo Yan by his side made him feel extremely relieved. As for Qin Cang, he also felt deeply grateful towards him.

  "Right, County Master, now can you tell me about that Cao Pi?" Qin Lang stopped smiling and asked. He was not the only one interested in this question, Mo Yan beside him was also very curious.

  As soon as Cao Pi was mentioned, Mo Gu Yun's smile also froze, his eyes slightly drifting away, seemingly still immersed in the shock from earlier. After a while, Mo Gu Yun slowly spoke up.

  "Do you still remember the ranking division of the Martial Way that I told you about before?"

  "Of course I remember, the path of martial arts has three stages of physical refinement: shaping the body, refining the body, and breaking through the body; and three stages of spiritual refinement: shaping the spirit, refining the spirit, and transforming the spirit. This is what you taught me at the beginning."

  "That's right, judging from your aura, you are now a great success in the Refining Body stage. Your cultivation speed is indeed beyond my expectations. Although at your age, there are many people with stronger powers than yours, but they have been cultivating since childhood. And you, on the other hand, have only cultivated for less than half a year." Mo Gu Yun couldn't help but praise Qin Lang.

  Qin Lang couldn't bear to hear praise about himself, and upon hearing it, he would become complacent. However, in front of Mo Gu Yun, Qin Lang didn't dare to be too arrogant, so he just dryly chuckled twice, but his self-satisfied expression was beyond words.

  "You rascal!" Mo Gu Yun shook his head and smiled, continuing to say: "You shouldn't be so proud, when Mo Yan's strength reached the Great Completion of the Refining Body stage, she was only 17 years old, a year younger than you."

  "Wow, Yan Jie is so amazing!" Qin Lang shouted loudly on purpose, directly ignoring the fact that Mo Yan had been practicing since childhood, which was very much in line with Mo Gu Yun's educational policy.

  "Damn it!" Mo Yan kicked Qin Guang again, and at this moment, she seemed to have transformed into the fierce leader in the army.

  "Cough cough!" Qin Lang chuckled a few times with a hint of annoyance.

  "Alright, stop messing around." Mo Gu Yun looked at the two young people frolicking in front of him, and his heart also rose with a warm feeling. At the same time, a very strange thought arose, but it was quickly suppressed by Mo Gu Yun.

  "Having reached the Great Completion of the Refining Body stage, in the eyes of ordinary people, it's already a pretty good strength. However, in the eyes of cultivators, that is an existence that can't even be taken seriously."

  Finally getting to the point, both Qin Huan and Mo Yan listened intently.

  "In fact, it's not these countries that truly control this planet, but rather the Xianmen sects." Mo Gu Yun said.

  "Xiu Xian Men Pai?" Qin Lang and Mo Yan said in unison.

  "That's right! Almost every country has a Xianmen sect controlling it from behind, such as our Qinghai State, which is controlled by the Qinghai Sect of Xianmen."

  "Why did the country fall into rebellion, and that Qinghai Zong didn't come to take care of it?" Qin Guang asked.

  "Haha, you're quite quick to react!" Mo Gu Yun smiled and said: "These sects are just the behind-the-scenes controllers of the country. As long as the country doesn't perish, they won't care who becomes the ruler of the nation. But what's strange is that Cao Pi, being a member of the Xiu Xian Men sect, would actually launch a rebellion and usurp power!"

  "No wonder, then what are these sects controlling these countries for?"

  "The only role of these countries is to provide resources for the development of the sect." Mo Gu Yun said.

  "Resources?" Qin Lang asked thoughtfully.

  "Not bad, resources in terms of materials, talents, and everything that is beneficial to the development of the sect are all their targets. And behind our Qinghai country, there is a Xianmen sect called Qinghai Zong." Mo Gu Yun said slowly, seemingly yearning for it very much.

  "Qinghai Zong!" Qin Lang muttered to himself.

  "Only by entering a Xianmen sect can one truly embark on the path of martial arts. People like us, no matter how we cultivate, can only be limited to the Refining Spirit realm. And to break through the Refining Spirit realm, it is only possible within a Xianmen sect."

  Moreover, within the Immortal Sects, there are countless powerful martial arts and various mighty artifacts that can increase one's strength by several levels. Just like Cao Pi today, his actual strength is only at the Great Completion of the Houtian stage, yet he can rely on powerful martial arts and artifacts to withstand the collective attack of Li Fei, who has equivalent strength, and 100,000 heavenly soldiers.

  "This is also too against the sky, it's simply a cheat!" Qin Lang cursed, but was deeply shocked by Mo Gu Yun's words.

  "Haha, there's nothing we can do about it. That's just how powerful they are. With the same strength, how can you fight against them when they have cannons in their hands and you're empty-handed?"

  "My goodness, if everyone joins this immortal sect, it would be too powerful!" Qin Ling Road shouted.

  "It's not that simple, one of the reasons for a country's existence is to provide talent resources for these immortal sects." Mo Gu Yun said.

  "To join the Xianmen sect, there are extremely harsh conditions."
