Chen Ye sighed secretly.

No wonder he felt uncomfortable.

Should he give up Lisong Valley, which he has cultivated so painstakingly, for a potential threat?

Moreover, how could he possibly explain this to the Lingyin Sect?

Since he enjoyed the benefits from the Lingyin Sect, many decisions were out of his hands.

"Hmm... Sister Qingzhu, could you take Zhiwei away when the time comes? It's really hard to leave Lisong Valley," Chen Ye sighed.

Mao Qingzhu, understanding Chen Ye's difficulties, nodded with annoyance:

"If Brother Ye is in a dilemma, I might as well stay in Lisong Valley for several more months and wait for the turbulence in the Three Thousand Great Mountains to settle before Qing Jun undergoes the rite."

"Won't this delay Qing Jun's matters?"

Having Mao Qingzhu preside over Lisong Valley put Chen Ye at ease, but he was still concerned about Qing Jun's hidden ailment and asked quickly.

"Of course not; how could a rite be delayed by such a short while?"

Mao Qingzhu reassured him, then laughed helplessly,

"I would never joke with Qing Jun's health."

Indeed.

No matter what, a "daughter" is ultimately more important than this Brother Ye.

Chen Ye felt reassured.

From their interactions over these days, he knew that Mao Qingzhu was now at the Foundation Establishment Third Layer.

Eight years ago, after sending off Qing Jun, she was stricken with grief and focused her cultivation in Divine Mist Valley, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

With her natural talent, it was no surprise she smoothly broke through to the Foundation Establishment Third Layer some time ago.

In fact, the reason Mao Qingzhu hadn't contacted Chen Ye for months was because she was busy making breakthroughs.

As soon as she advanced, she came nonstop to Peach Mountain District.

With such a master like Mao Qingzhu present, Lisong Valley's safety level undoubtedly soared.

Even if the Wei Family still harbored ill intent and sent assassins again, it would just be in vain.

As for the Emotion Crossing Sect...

Chen Ye's gaze sharpened slightly.

Everything about this situation was bizarre; the Black Wind Duo being hired by the Wei Family to assassinate him was true, but their sneaking into the Lingyin Sect's territory had an ulterior motive, as Mao Qingzhu speculated, with hidden intentions.

"Whether it's targeting me or this batch of Spirit Plants, this matter cannot end well," Chen Ye thought to himself.

He looked at the swiftly passing street scenery outside, took a deep breath, and examined the resources in his Storage Bag.

Very poor.

But it's understandable.

These people came to assassinate; they wouldn't bring all their assets with them for a suicidal mission.

As for the Black Wind Duo, if they were indeed controlled by the Emotion Crossing Sect, they likely didn't have many resources on hand either.

They didn't even carry Storage Bags!

But fortunately, since they came to assassinate, they must have brought Magical Artifacts.

And these Magical Artifacts were the most valuable items.

There were four Upper Grade First Tier Magical Artifacts in total, and more than ten Lower Grade Magical Artifacts.

"Hmm? This armor and these gauntlets are nice..."

Chen Ye's gaze fell on two Upper Grade Magical Artifacts.

These two Upper Grade Magical Artifacts came from the leader of the Black Wind Duo.

This person was burly, around two meters tall, similar in build to Qingzhi.

He practiced Body Cultivator techniques, making his combat power exceptionally formidable, along with extraordinary defense.

Even if Chen Ye fought him, it would probably take considerable effort.

But then again, meeting Mao Qingzhu...

"These two artifacts, if Qingzhi wears them, his combat power can ascend another level."

Chen Ye was delighted and carefully stored these two Upper Grade Magical Artifacts.

After some thought, he took out another Upper Grade First Tier and six Lower Grade Magical Artifacts and handed them to Duan Ling:

"Taoist Friend Duan, since you killed most of the assassins, these artifacts should be shared with you..."

"Thank you, Steward Chen!"

Duan Ling quickly accepted the artifacts. Known for handling affairs efficiently, he immediately expressed his gratitude,

"But without Senior Mao's intervention, we couldn't have succeeded so easily. Still, Duan is currently lacking cultivation resources, so I won't defer falsely. Duan will remember this favor!"

Hmm?

This guy didn't owe me any favor before and already acted with such dedication. Now, having received so many artifacts, won't he be even more committed?

Chen Ye felt emotional, but outwardly he was polite: "Not at all, these are well-deserved by a fellow Taoist..."
