"The withdrawal was so decisive."

Jiang Qiong looked at the retreating figures of a group of monks from the Shangguan family and did not choose to pursue them further, letting them leave.

He is currently only controlling a second-level spirit puppet. He can keep up with the Foundation Establishment Masters of the Guan Family in a short distance, but it is basically impossible to prevent them from evacuating.

"Senior, do we want to chase him?"

The monks from the Guteng tribe next to them looked a little angry as they watched the monks from the Shangguan family leave.

Being intercepted and killed by the Shangguan family for no apparent reason would make a normal person angry.

Several monks from the Guteng tribe naturally did not want the monks from the Shangguan family to come and leave whenever they wanted.

"That's all, don't chase after poor bandits, lest they be deceived."

Jiang Qiong waved her hand and rejected the suggestion of the Guteng tribe monk.

"The road is very unsafe, hurry back to the Guteng tribe."

As Jiang Qiong finished speaking, the monks of the Guteng tribe did not insist, and then sat back on the spirit boat and continued back to the tribe.

Just half an hour on the road.

Several rainbows came from the direction of the Guteng tribe. One of them was an old man with a majestic aura. He was a real person in the Foundation Establishment realm.

"Elder Gu Zhen is here."

Seeing the imposing old man, several monks from the Guteng tribe looked happy.

"I've met Taoist friends."

Elder Gu Zhen came to the spirit boat and greeted Jiang Qiong in a very polite tone.

As he spoke, he glanced at the monks in his tribe and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were all safe.

To be cautious, Elder Gu Zhen still asked: "Are you all okay?"

The old man leading the team heard this and said without thinking: "With seniors protecting us, we are all fine."

Elder Gu Zhen heard this, nodded gently, and said to Jiang Qiong sincerely: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for sending the monks of our tribe all the way."

"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome."

Jiang Qiong said in a kind tone: "Since Taoist friend is here, the rest of the journey will be left to you. I have some things to do, so I won't leave for now."

Since he was controlling a spirit puppet, it was inconvenient for Jiang Qiong to show up to the Guteng tribe.

The friendship along the way allowed Elder Gu Zhen to entertain Jiang Qiong.

But seeing that Jiang Qiong had something urgent to do, Elder Gu Zhen did not force it.

He used his spiritual consciousness to scan the storage ring, took out some precious gifts from it, gave them to Jiang Qiong, and said:

"Fellow Taoist has sent us thousands of miles away. Normally we should serve him wine to express our gratitude. However, since fellow Taoist has something to do, we can't delay it."

"Please accept these gifts of thanks from fellow Taoists. They should be considered the thoughts of the Guteng tribe."

Jiang Qiong shied away, unable to resist Elder Gu Zhen's enthusiasm, so she could only accept all the thank-you gifts.

"Fellow Daoist, walk slowly."

When Jiang Qiong took the gift and turned to leave, Elder Gu Zhen greeted him warmly for half the journey.

Watching Jiang Qiong go away, Elder Gu Zhen turned around and rushed back with his tribe monks.

On the way, he asked the old man who was leading the team:

"What is the level and strength of Master Ji Zhu who escorted you just now? Can you tell me what kind of force he belongs to?"

The old man who led the team shook his head and said through a message: "Reporting to the elders, the strength of this Foundation Establishment Master is probably around the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. He is very good at physical combat."

"As for its power, I don't know much about it. The real person on the road seemed taciturn and didn't talk to us much."

When Elder Gu Zhen heard this, he nodded lightly and didn't ask any other questions.

During the rest of the journey, he took out the transmission talisman and secretly communicated with Elder Gu Jing, not knowing what else to discuss.

Here, after Jiang Qiong sent away the monks from the Guteng tribe, he controlled the spirit boat and wandered around in the vast desert for several times, constantly wandering.

In the process, he kept going to various natural disaster areas to clear away the traces he left behind.

Finish these.

He put clothes on the spirit puppet, changed his face through the spirit talisman, pretended to be an ordinary monk, and returned to Yaoyun Oasis.

Just as Jiang Qiong was controlling the spirit puppet, the body of the Qianyan Sect far away detected the light in the storage bag through its spiritual sense.

"Well, a message of congratulations."

"Is his seclusion over?"

Jiang Qiong's eyes flashed with surprise.

During the several years since he came to Yaoyun Oasis, except for the occasional message of congratulations at the beginning, he spent the rest of the period practicing in seclusion.

Before retreating, he specially sent a message to Jiang Qiong.

Therefore, Jiang Qiong never bothered him.

At this moment, a message suddenly came over, and it was estimated that the retreat was over.

"I don't know what he wants from me."

Jiang Qiong used his spiritual sense to scan the transmission talisman, and the content inside was very simple.

The general idea was to send a message of congratulations to a female cultivator from the law enforcement team and invite Jiang Qiong to come and attend the wedding banquet.

"Oh? Married?"

When Jiang Qiong heard this, she subconsciously thought of a female cultivator who was very close to He Yan when she was still in Bixia Oasis.

If I remember correctly, her name seems to be Li Li, a monk from the patrol team of Yulingzongfang City.

"At that time, I saw that the relationship between the two was unusual. I never thought that a few years later, they would be getting married."

Jiang Qiong's expression was a little hesitant, and she sent a message, saying that she would go there and be happy when the time came.

They simply communicated for a while.

Jiang Qiong cut off the conversation and called Wen Qingsu in while continuing to manipulate the spirit puppet.

"Help me check whether the Yuling Sect, the Qin family and the An family in Pingyun County have any urgently needed spiritual resources recently."

One of the big things Jiang Qiong has to do after coming out of the Qianyan Sect Secret Realm is to build up her own network and find allies that match her own interests.

In this way, when encountering critical moments of danger, allies can work together to resist bandits through mutual assistance.

The establishment of a strong relationship network is not only closely related to interests, but also to finding acquaintances.

Jiang Qiong currently knows only a few foundation-building forces. Apart from the Yuling Sect, Qianyan Sect, Lu Family, Gu Teng Tribe, the only ones left are the Qin Family and the An Family.

Among them, there is only one monk I have met in the Yuling Sect, and that is He Yan's sister. Although her status and realm are not high, she is a disciple of Master Ji Zhu, and she can talk to the middle and senior leaders of the Yuling Sect at critical times.

Since the Yuling Sect has a strong foundation and powerful strength, Jiang Qiong is naturally very eager to establish an in-depth cooperative relationship with it.

Considering that the sect is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Leixiao Sect, there may be a shortage of certain spiritual items. This is a very good opportunity for cooperation and is suitable for providing help in times of need.

But this move comes with some risks. The Leixiao Sect will definitely try its best to prevent the spiritual objects that Yuling Sect urgently needs. If Jiang Qiong secretly supports them, it may lead to revenge.

This made Jiang Qiong hesitate a little and prepared to wait until enough information was collected before making a decision.

In addition to the Yuling Sect, he is also preparing to establish a cooperative relationship network with the Qin family and the An family.

According to the information Jiang Qiong has found so far, the Yuling Sect has recently found out that the Chen family in Bixia Oasis has a deep collusion with Lei Xiaomen.

Back then, when the natives of the Fallen Shadow Clan were causing trouble in Yulingfang City, the Chen family was behind the scenes.

After discovering the real inside story, the Yuling Sect naturally retaliated immediately and prepared to unite with the Qin family and Liu family to destroy the Chen family in Bixia Oasis.

The Qin family naturally supports this with both hands. Currently, they cooperate with the Yuling Sect and have trapped the Bixia Oasis, waiting to slowly eat away at the Chen family's power.

The process of cannibalization naturally requires a large amount of resources, and there are inevitably opportunities for cooperation.

At the same time, Jiang Qiong also knows two direct descendants of the Qin family, which will make things easier.

Thinking back to those days, Jiang Qiong was still a Qi-training monk and was a little afraid of Qin Yurong.

But now that he is already a real person on the third level of Foundation Establishment, he doesn't care too much, so cooperation is naturally the best.

In addition to these two companies, Jiang Qiong also intends to cooperate with the An family for three main reasons.

First: This aristocratic family has some relationship with Yao Yun Valley, and it is easy to connect Jiang Qiong with Yao Yun Valley.

Second: There are acquaintances of Jiang Qiong in this family.

Third: This family has dealt with the Qin family, and it will be less difficult to establish a cooperative relationship with them through the Qin family.

It was based on these considerations that Jiang Qiong asked Wen Qingsu to collect information on the three forces after careful consideration.

As for the Qianyan Sect and the Lu Family, since Jiang Qiong is currently pretending to be Lu Yunlang, they are not suitable for cooperation.

We can only wait for the opportunity and then slowly figure it out.

"Well, I'm going to collect information on these three forces."

Wen Qingsu turned around and walked out without asking Jiang Qiong the reason for collecting intelligence.

"I hope these three forces can give me a chance to cooperate."

While Jiang Qiong was running her spiritual sense to control the Frost Sword Spirit Puppet in the desert, she picked up the tea cup in front of her and took a slow sip of tea.

Since the last trip to the Guteng tribe ended.

Jiang Qiong is in a slight crisis, and the source is the dominant force from Yaoyun Oasis - the Shangguan family.

At the moment, Jiang Qiong still doesn't know whether the family will come to cause trouble for him.

According to Elder Gu Jing's words, the Shangguan family may have received the rare treasure of Polygala Gou and want to stand up for Polygala Gou.

At present, they are constantly suppressing the Guteng tribe, either attacking their resource areas, or blocking the sale of their spiritual items. They are trying to force the Guteng tribe to apologize and admit their mistakes.

If so.

Jiang Qiong's situation seems a bit dangerous.

After all, he was one of the shooters at that time. The Polygala Hook he hit was extremely painful and he almost killed it completely.

And once this provokes revenge from the Shangguan family, Jiang Qiong will only end up hiding in embarrassment, and may encounter a life-threatening dilemma at any time.

Based on the influence of these factors, Jiang Qiong urgently needs to establish his own alliance network.

If the Shangguan family really stood up for Yuanzhi Gou and caused trouble for itself, then through the binding of interests, let several allies jointly resist powerful enemies on their behalf.

Not wanting to defeat the Shangguan family, but just wanting to save his own life, this was Jiang Qiong's idea.

But having said that, the reason why the Shangguan family caused trouble for the Guteng tribe was just the one-sided words of Elder Gujing.

to be frank.

Recently, the more Jiang Qiong thought about it, the more she felt that what Elder Gu Jing said was not necessarily true.

After all, the Guteng Tribe itself is a medium-sized tribe with a profound foundation. There are more than ten Foundation Establishment Masters within the tribe. There are also powerful monks who have completed the Foundation Establishment Realm and have half-stepped into the Golden Core Realm within the Chuanyin tribe.

Such a powerful force, even if it is a hegemonic force with the Jindan Realm ancestor sitting in charge, will not easily provoke it.

It's different from Master Ji Zhu's annihilation of Qi-training realm forces.

Due to the structure of the monks in the Taling Desert, the number of monks becomes scarcer as you go up.

Sometimes, in an ordinary oasis, there may be thousands or tens of thousands of monks in the Qi training realm, but only two or three real people in the foundation building realm.

If it were a more remote oasis, there might be three to four thousand Qi-training monks, but not one Foundation-Building Master.

Under such circumstances, Qi-training forces are like crucian carp crossing a river. There are many weeds on the roadside. Once they are killed, another one will appear in the blink of an eye, which is not worthy of attention.

But there are only a handful of forces the size of the Guteng Tribe in the entire Taling Desert.

Rushing for destruction can easily cause changes in the power structure of the Taling Desert, and can easily lead to other overlord forces taking action to stop it.

After all, there is also competition among the major overlords, so it is naturally impossible to watch your power continue to grow.

Especially the powerful tribes have good relations with the major overlord forces.

This makes it impossible for the Shangguan family to destroy the Guteng tribe. Otherwise, they would have taken action long ago and would not have waited forever.

If there is no desire to eliminate plunder, it would be a very uneconomical thing to rashly have a stalemate with the Guteng tribe just because someone who is not a member of the clan.

Yuanzhi Gou had to come up with a treasure that could conquer the world and make the Shangguan family spend a lot of money to continuously target the Guteng tribe.

But after thinking about it carefully, Jiang Qiong felt that it was impossible.

Offering a treasure that conquers the heaven and earth, just asking for a breath of bad breath. Unless his brain is kicked by a donkey, he will not be able to do such a ridiculous move.

The real situation may be hidden.

Based on the information she currently has, Jiang Qiong believes that it is possible that the Shangguan family is deliberately targeting the Gu Teng tribe, with the tacit approval of the other overlord forces and intentional suppression to prevent the ancestors of the Jindan realm from emerging from this tribe.

That's right.

Jiang Qiong felt that within the Guteng tribe, there might be an intention to gather a large amount of resources to allow a foundation-building master to break through the realm, step into the realm of the golden elixir, and lead the tribe to become one of the dominant forces in the Taling Desert.

Dare you think so.

The main reason is that Jiang Qiong noticed some clues in the Guteng tribe's camp.

A powerful tribe with a profound heritage would not be short of spiritual stones, but while recuperating in the camp, Jiang Qiong noticed that even the young monks of the tribe were sent to the Juyou Canyon to take risks in search of resources.

According to the monks within the tribe, they wanted to awaken the guardian spirit beasts and attack the other tribes.

But there may be another hidden meaning behind this move. In addition to awakening the tribal spirit beasts and attacking other tribes, they also protect their own foundation-building masters and break through the realm.

You must know that the guardian spirit beasts of a tribe are their own lifeblood, and they will not be easily summoned until the end of the road.

The Guteng Tribe is just attacking a tribe whose foundation is shallower than its own. There is no reason to block the entire tribe.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiong pinched her chin and said to herself:

"If the Guteng tribe really wants to use resources to create a Golden Core monk, for me, it will be an opportunity accompanied by risks." (End of this chapter)
