Chapter 965: Ling Ling One’s Evolution Stalls

Qin Xiao was cultivating peacefully when Gong Wenlin and Yin Mingda sent word that their factions had expelled them.

He was speechless. This was not how he had expected things to go.

He had meant to use the two as hidden agents within the Hidden Moon Family and Heavenly Array Sect. Instead, they had been expelled.

After hearing their explanation, Qin Xiao understood: both factions were protecting themselves by distancing themselves from any suspicion.

Although both factions had expelled them, they made plenty of promises: care for their descendants, higher standing for their branches, and rewards for their younger generations.

Ultimately, the goal was to force the two men to shoulder all the blame, whether the Immortal Dao Sect or the Blood Soul Sect came looking for accountability.

If the Immortal Dao Sect tracked them down, no explanations were necessary since that sect understood the situation better than anyone. The Blood Soul Sect, however, was a different matter entirely; the factions could not afford any entanglement with them, knowing that a furious Blood Soul Sect was something neither power could withstand.

Since the plan to infiltrate the Central Domain had collapsed, Qin Xiao cared little and instructed the pair to find a way to escape south.

Fortunately, Qin Jiang had let the Blood Soul Sect know that the two were Qin Xiao’s men, so it took no action against them.

Meanwhile, the Immortal Dao Sect was biding its time, waiting for the Blood Soul Sect to strike first, which left a window of opportunity for the pair to flee the Central Domain and go into hiding.

Once their safety was assured, Qin Xiao resumed his cultivation in peace.

“Ling Ling One, how goes it? Has the evolution finished yet?”

Having completed his other preparations, Qin Xiao intended to descend deeper and thus checked on the spirit’s progress.
