Chapter 205: Allocation

"As for my master," as expected, Huaxiu spoke of Daoist Chiyang to Lin Qing, "Fellow Daoist Lin, it turns out that my master was indeed held back by the Sect Master of Wuji Sect and perished in the Heavenly Tribulation. According to reason, my master, Daoist Chiyang, was in the later stage of the Violet Mansion realm and had many means at his disposal. When the Heavenly Tribulation arrived, both Sect Master Qin and Elder Meng of the Qin Sect were able to escape. Could it be that my master couldn't escape? Even Vice Tower Master Jiang left at that time, only to encounter misfortune later. With my master's strength and the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation from the Sect Master of Wuji Sect, how could he have been held back by my master?"

"This..."

How should Lin Qing respond to this? He understood Huaxiu's thoughts. After all, it was indeed suspicious that someone in the later stage of the Violet Mansion realm would perish like this.

But the key point was that he wasn't present at the time.

"Fellow Daoist Huaxiu, you may not know, but at that time, I was forced back by someone in the Violet Mansion realm. When the Heavenly Tribulation arrived, I quickly escaped and didn't see the situation of your master at that time. Not only your master, but I also don't know about the other Violet Mansion realm cultivators. This is the truth."

"Ah." Huaxiu sighed, and he had complete trust in Lin Qing's words. Lin Qing had no reason to deceive him.

Huaxiu continued, "After my master's death, both Sect Master Qin and Elder Meng of the Qin Sect had the same story. How can I believe them? Sometimes I even wonder if they were up to something and deliberately left my master behind."

"Fellow Daoist Huaxiu, let's keep this matter between us and not mention it in front of others," Lin Qing said.

"I naturally know that, but I can't help but feel resentful," Huaxiu replied.

Upon hearing Huaxiu's words, Lin Qing suddenly remembered what Patriarch Qin had said to him on the flying boat. He realized that the Zhao Kingdom could no longer afford to fight. He had a feeling in his heart that he had underestimated the meaning behind it at the time.

"Fellow Daoist Huaxiu, after this great calamity in the Zhao Kingdom, all we can do is focus on development," Lin Qing said.

Huaxiu nodded, but there was a hint of helplessness on his face.

Lin Qing also understood that if Daoist Chiyang were still alive at this time and Wuji Sect were destroyed, Chiyang Immortal City would probably gain great benefits. It might even become the third sect of the Zhao Kingdom. But now that Daoist Chiyang had died, even if Huaxiu broke through to the Violet Mansion realm, he could only defend Chiyang Immortal City with the support of Qingfeng Sect and Xianxia Sect. It was indeed hard for him not to think too much about it.

To be honest, Lin Qing also had some doubts, but he really didn't know the situation at the time, so he couldn't say much about right or wrong.

Afterwards, Huaxiu and Lin Qing talked about other things. Their friendship began in Wujiafang all those years ago. Although they didn't meet often in recent years, their friendship had grown even stronger. Especially in the Violet Mansion realm, there were even fewer people to talk to, making this friendship even more precious.

As they continued talking, Lin Qing suddenly asked about Huaxiu's own situation, "Fellow Daoist Huaxiu, now that you have reached the Violet Mansion realm, you should consider your descendants."

Upon hearing this, Huaxiu smiled and shook his head, "Thank you for your concern, but for me, it's already impossible. When I followed the Daoist here to cultivate immortality, my family never saw me again until they died. It's embarrassing for me to think about it now. I don't want to think about having a Dao companion."

Lin Qing didn't ask any further. Suddenly, he thought of Daoist Chiyang and curiously asked, "Huaxiu, Daoist Chiyang has been in the Zhao Kingdom for so many years, and everyone has always been curious about his background. Can you enlighten me?"

"Haha." Huaxiu shook his head and laughed, then said, "To be honest, it's not a big deal, and there's nothing that can't be said. My master was actually a cultivator from a family in the Yan Kingdom. Later, the family seemed to have a disagreement over something, so he left the Yan Kingdom. He hasn't returned in all these years and has always concealed his identity. I also found out by chance."

"Is it really that simple?" Lin Qing couldn't believe it and asked.

Huaxiu smiled, "It's really that simple."

"That being said, Daoist Chiyang, what is your real name?" Lin Qing asked curiously.

Master Hua shook his head, "I don't know his real name, but I do know that his surname is Yan. I have also learned about the Yan family in Yan Kingdom, which is currently the largest cultivation family in the country. The current head of the family is at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm."

"I see," Lin Qing nodded, thinking that Daoist Chiyang had kept this secret quite well.

Suddenly, Lin Qing thought of something and looked at Master Hua, "If I were to tell someone about Daoist Chiyang..."

Before he could finish, Master Hua waved his hand to stop Lin Qing from continuing, "Fellow Daoist Lin, my master, Daoist Chiyang, came to Zhao Kingdom and changed his name because he didn't want any connection with the Yan family. Although my master has passed away, I don't want to go against what he did during his lifetime."

"I see," Lin Qing nodded again, impressed by how loyal this disciple was to Daoist Chiyang.

Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh, "What did the Yan family do to make Daoist Chiyang leave? If he hadn't left, the Yan family might have been able to dominate Yan Kingdom today."

Master Hua also sighed, "It's been too long, and no one really knows anymore, but it is indeed a pity."

Afterwards, the two of them talked for a while and then went their separate ways.

A day later, Elder Hu arrived late, and Master Hua's banquet officially began.

Needless to say, Lin Qing sat at the main table. The arrival of the four Purple Mansion cultivators, along with Master Hua, caused quite a stir in Chiyang Immortal City. However, there were not many people who could attend the banquet. Even if others wanted to participate by paying spirit stones, they had no way to enter.

The banquet was just a formality, and after everyone had eaten, it was concluded. With the support of Zhao Kingdom, it was a foregone conclusion that Master Hua would take charge of Chiyang Immortal City.

Afterwards, the five Purple Mansion cultivators gathered together to discuss the distribution of benefits from the destruction of Wuji Sect.

Due to the destruction caused by the Heavenly Tribulation, the distribution of the large amount of spirit stones and materials that could have existed no longer mattered. Only the territory originally occupied by Wuji Sect remained.

Before the war with Wuji Sect, Qingfeng Sect and Xianxia Sect had already taken a considerable amount of territory, leaving little for the Lin family and Chiyang Immortal City.

However, what surprised Lin Qing was that this Senior Qin seemed to be speaking up for his Lin family everywhere, as if he were not a member of Qingfeng Sect, but a member of the Lin family.

Thinking of the conversation on the flying boat, Lin Qing realized that Senior Qin was intentionally making amends for him.

After the distribution, Lin Qing received a fair share of benefits without being polite. The other four families also obtained their own benefits.

After this distribution, the entire Zhao Kingdom formed a situation of five equal powers.

Qingfeng Sect and Xianxia Sect each obtained one-third of Wuji Sect's territory, which was actually quite small considering that they had lost more than half of their manpower in the process. Chiyang Immortal City obtained one-third of the remaining territory, with the other half belonging to the Lin family, which originally did not have so much territory but was voluntarily given by Senior Qin. Finally, Baibao Tower obtained Wuji Sect's Xuan Yu Pavilion and several valuable mines.

As for the other factions, let's not mention them for now. Although the territory obtained by the Lin family was only one-sixth of Wuji Sect's original territory, it was still a vast area.
