Chapter 56 Unexpected Changes, Risk Avoidance

Beside the medicinal herb field

Lin Zhou stood up from the armchair, looked at Qi Yun, the old demon, running over from a distance, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down.

"Junior Sister Qi?"

"What is it?"

"Take your time and tell me."

Lin Zhou said with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Senior Brother Lin, Senior Sister Ge has been locked up by her family. They say they're sending her to an outside branch for training so she can advance to the Transformation Realm as soon as possible before returning to the mountain."

"Senior sister is unwilling."

"Then she was locked up by her clansmen, who said she would leave in three days. My senior sister is determined to cultivate the art of alchemy. Although she is not talented, she may still be able to advance to a high-level alchemist in the next few years."

"I'm not far from becoming an alchemist."

Qi Yun said in a somewhat anxious tone.

Her goal was Demon Suppression Peak, but the dungeon there hasn't been explored yet. It would be too difficult for her to find her second brother on her own.

She has already messaged her friend, asking for their help.

Her second brother must be trapped somewhere in the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect, even if it's not the dungeon on Demon Suppression Peak, it will be somewhere else in the sect.

Qi Yun never expected that such a thing would happen to her senior sister Ge.

She naturally couldn't leave the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect with Ge Ranran. She had finally managed to infiltrate the sect and was just starting to make progress.

"But...Junior Sister, what should I do?"

Lin Zhou was somewhat puzzled.

How could he, an ordinary outer disciple who had only recently advanced to the Ming Jin realm, interfere in the affairs of a powerful clan?

"My senior sister asked me to find my senior brother and ask my third grandfather for help."

"My senior sister is trapped by her clansmen, and I am her only confidant. That's why I escaped. I want Senior Brother Lin to help me find my third grandfather, Ge Ping'an. This matter can be resolved with just one word from him."

Qi Yun spoke up.

"I see."

To be honest, Lin Zhou really hoped that Qi Yun, the old demon, would leave the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect, but it absolutely could not be because of him leaving the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect. He still had to help her with this favor.

"Then, Junior Sister Qi."

"Keep an eye on the herb garden for me. There's a precious sword hanging on the wall of the courtyard. If any strange beasts attack, you can use the sword to drive them away."

Lin Zhou left Qi Yun where she was to watch over the yard for him.

They headed straight for Ge Ping'an's residence on Alchemy Peak.

For the past two months, Ge Ping'an has not gone to the medicinal field to deliver demon blood. Instead, an ordinary handyman disciple has come instead. It is said that the handyman disciple also said...

Elder Ge instructed Ge Ping'an to cultivate in seclusion within the courtyard and to avoid going out unless absolutely necessary.

Judging from the Ge family's actions, all these moves are aimed at the younger generation within the clan, which suggests that something has happened within the sect.

Or perhaps something unexpected happened to the Ge family.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so abnormal.

After Lin Zhou used his movement technique, he swept through the mountain path like a swift gust of wind and soon arrived at Ge Ping'an's residence.

Now, outside Ge Ping'an's courtyard.

There was also an extra handyman disciple guarding the place. This handyman disciple had a hidden strength cultivation level, not a visible strength level.

Lin Zhou stepped forward and handed over Ge Ping'an's token. The servant disciple did not delay and went inside to report.

"Senior Brother Lin."

"Come quickly."

"Your presence, senior brother, truly honors my humble abode!"

Within moments, Ge Ping'an's voice came from inside the door. Dressed in a white robe, the plump Ge Ping'an walked out of the courtyard and couldn't help but smile when he saw Lin Zhou.

They warmly invited Lin Zhou into the courtyard.

"Junior Brother Ge, I am also on someone's behalf on this trip."

After entering, Lin Zhou went straight to the point and explained the purpose of his visit.

"Ugh."

"I never expected that even Xiao Ran would be forced to leave the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect."

"The current situation is indeed precarious!"

After listening to what Lin Zhou said, Ge Ping'an, who poured Lin Zhou a cup of tea, showed a rare look of worry on his chubby face.

"What happened?"

Lin Zhou was also very curious.

"A major battle has broken out on the border."

"Our Ge family's Dan-level warrior perished in this horde of demons and beasts."

"Including the other three deputy generals."

"The beast tide has affected six counties near the border, and the human population in these counties has suffered heavy casualties."

"The Demonic Sect and our four righteous sects have now joined forces to deal with the demon soldiers and generals who have fled from the border into Qingzhou Prefecture."

"It's just that the Demonic Sect and our righteous sects don't cooperate with each other; they each do their own thing."

"However, we don't trust those demonic sect guys, and we're even on guard against them stabbing us in the back."

"Just two days ago, a Core Formation Elder from the Eight Extremes Sect was killed by a demon general while he was away."

"The Eight Extremes Sect and our Wind and Thunder Sword Sect have been allies for many years. That elder who was in the early stage of Core Formation died on their sect's territory, and to this day, they have not been able to find that demon general."

Ge Ping'an glanced at the departing servant disciple and whispered to Lin Zhou in front of him.

"A horde of demonic beasts."

"The martial artist who has reached the Dan realm has died."

Lin Zhou frowned.

Only half a year has passed, and such a change has occurred.

"Qi Yun, the Old Demon."

Suddenly, Qi Yun's image appeared in Lin Zhou's mind.

Now is the perfect time for that old devil to make his move.

That demon general will inevitably appear in the territory of the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect. There are quite a few demon soldiers currently rampaging in various places in Qingzhou Prefecture.

"That's why our Ge family will begin to relocate a small portion of its members to Longzhou Prefecture, which is located to the east."

"After all, if an entire clan is in the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect, they could easily be wiped out in one fell swoop."

"It's just that my nephew was too hasty. Our Wind and Thunder Sword Sect has several Grand Elders with the Gang Jin level in charge. What danger could there be?"

"Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Don't worry, senior brother. Now that you're here, I'll make sure Xiao Ran stays."

Immediately afterwards, Ge Pingan spoke to Lin Zhou in a firm tone.

"that…"

Looking at Ge Ping'an in front of him, Lin Zhou was more than willing for Qi Yun, the old demon, to leave.

But with Ge Ping'an making such a firm statement, it seems this huge time bomb is probably close to exploding.

"We need to find a way to leave the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect temporarily and find a disciple from the sect to watch over the herb fields for a while."

Lin Zhou began to ponder.

Guarding the medicinal herb field is not difficult at all.

The Wind and Thunder Sword Sect is now showing signs of being at the center of a storm. Staying in the sect now might mean getting caught up in it.

The safest approach is to leave for a period of time to undertake a long-term mission, ranging from six months to over a year.

He could easily find a disciple to guard a section of the medicinal herb field in his place.

After exchanging a few more words, Lin Zhou left Ge Ping'an's courtyard.

After leaving.

He headed straight for the mission room on the sect's alchemy peak. This matter had to be settled as soon as possible, or things might change!
