Chen Yang confirmed the elixir given out by Zhang Qun causes serious damage to meridians and can lead to a fall in cultivation or backlash, though the severity depends on dosage. He and Huang Tianwen returned to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss countermeasures. Assessing their strength, they found themselves outmatched by Zhang Qun and the Worship Heaven Sect. Tu Qi proposed seeking aid from the Academy, and Chen Yang agreed, tasking Tu Qi with bringing reinforcements while Chen Yang devised a plan to lure Zhang Qun into the city for a decisive confrontation.

"Alright, I’ll write the letter now."

Huang Tianwen wasted no time and immediately fetched paper and ink to write an earnest letter to Zhang Qun.

The letter did not only express Huang Tianwen’s yearning for the Worship Heaven Sect.

It also detailed the wondrous feeling he experienced last night after consuming the elixir and the rapid power increase.

Of course, Huang Tianwen did not actually take it himself; the description in the letter was all taught by Chen Yang.

Chen Yang had studied the elixirs for so long, he surely knew what kind of feeling they would bring to people.

And the kind of effect they would have.

After writing the letter, Huang Tianwen immediately had it sent to Zhang Qun on the Tianshan mountain.

At that time, Zhang Qun was in the grand hall, absorbing the overwhelming power of belief.

Watching the continuously streaming power of belief being sent his way, he laughed triumphantly.

"Amazing! In just one day, there’s already so much power of belief. Entering the late stage is within reach," Zhang Qun laughed loudly.

His sharp voice echoed throughout the grand hall.

Besides him, there were three other people in the hall.

Two protectors and one elderly man.

The elderly man’s skin was wrinkled, his body frail.

Leaning on a cane, standing below the grand hall, he watched Zhang Qun laugh heartily, a smile appeared on his face as well.

"Sect Hierarch, my Dryness-Craving Pill, its effects should be satisfactory, right?" The elderly man asked Zhang Qun proudly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qun immediately replied excitedly: "Hahaha, the elixir crafted by Elder Li is definitely effective, otherwise, where would I gather so much power of belief?"

"Just wondering how long this Dryness-Craving Pill can last? I need a long time before I can break through, it must not show side effects prematurely," Zhang Qun laughed and then asked Elder Li with some concern.

"Don’t worry, Sect Hierarch, my Dryness-Craving Pill has special ingredients added. As long as one doesn’t crazily extract Spiritual Energy, it can last at least half a year. By then, even if it shows, it doesn’t matter," Elder Li assured confidently.

As it turned out, all the elixirs from last night were crafted by his hand.

"Heh, that’s good, that’s good," Zhang Qun was very satisfied with Elder Li’s response.

"Report to the Sect Hierarch."

At this moment, a sect member suddenly entered from outside.

"Report."

"Sect Hierarch, City Lord Huang sent a letter!"

The sect member answered and simultaneously presented the letter with both hands.

"Huang Tianwen?"

Zhang Qun was puzzled for a moment, then waved his hand, and the envelope in the sect member’s hand flew towards the grand hall and landed in Zhang Qun’s hands.

He opened it and read.

After reading the content, he laughed triumphantly again.

"Huang Tianwen, oh Huang Tianwen, even as the City Lord, you took the bait so quickly. Truly a surprise!"

Zhang Qun laughed loudly.

Seeing this, Elder Li curiously asked, "Sect Hierarch, what’s up with Huang Tianwen? Is the letter about the Dryness-Craving Pill?"

"Indeed."

Zhang Qun smiled and nodded, then said, "Huang Tianwen wrote to say that after using the elixir last night, his strength greatly increased, and he’s very interested in our sect’s method of enhancing power."

"Today’s letter, while thanking me, also invites me to his Urn City to hold a gathering and promote the doctrine of our Worship Heaven Sect."

Speaking this, Zhang Qun tossed the letter to Elder Li below.

After reading the letter’s content, Elder Li laughed heartily as well.

"It seems my Dryness-Craving Pill has remarkable effects, so much so that even that old fox Huang Tianwen didn’t detect anything,"

Elder Li was very satisfied with the success of deceiving Huang Tianwen with his crafted Dryness-Craving Pill.

"Elder Li has been thoughtful! With your elixir’s help, my plan as Sect Hierarch proceeds much more smoothly," Zhang Qun laughed.

"Sect Hierarch, are we really going to attend this promotional gathering?"

Compared to Zhang Qun’s and Elder Li’s pride, there was someone who was very cautious about this matter.

It was Zhang Qun’s other protector, Protector Ma.

"Of course we’re going. Since Huang Tianwen invited us, I certainly have to go, and in the coming days, there will be a peak in the power of belief. I can only absorb more by interacting closely with the sect members."

Without hesitation, Zhang Qun nodded affirmatively to go.

"This is indeed a good opportunity. Usually, the Sect Hierarch goes out rarely to maintain status, and now with my Dryness-Craving Pill’s help, it’s a perfect chance!" Elder Li agreed with Zhang Qun in accepting Huang Tianwen’s offer.

They were all overwhelmed with the joy of victory, not one considering it might be a trap.

"I don’t think it’s wise, Sect Hierarch," Protector Ma pondered for a while before attempting to object.

"What’s unwise?" Zhang Qun looked at him.

"I don’t know, just feel that this isn’t as simple as it appears," Protector Ma couldn’t pinpoint a specific reason.

But Zhang Qun paid no mind, laughing: "Protector Ma, you worry too much. Huang Tianwen has been swayed by our sect’s doctrine; this trip is the best chance to completely subjugate him. There’s no problem, rest assured."

"Indeed, Huang Tianwen describes his physical reaction after taking the Dryness-Craving Pill in his letter."

"It matches exactly with what one experiences after truly taking the Dryness-Craving Pill. Huang Tianwen must have taken it, trusting our sect deeply."

Elder Li also saw no reason to doubt the circumstance.

Because he saw Huang Tianwen’s description on the letter about the reaction after taking the Dryness-Craving Pill.

If he hadn’t taken it, it would be difficult to know the body’s reaction after consuming the elixir.

"Well..." Protector Ma wanted to say something more.

But he was interrupted by Protector Tang beside him.

"Old Ma, you’re overthinking it. Huang Tianwen isn’t a particularly formidable figure. Even if something goes wrong on this trip, our Worship Heaven Sect has the capability; what can he do?"

"Relax, it’ll be fine. This is a great opportunity, and I believe we should go,"

Protector Tang also reassured calmly.

"Well, alright."

Protector Ma, seeing everyone so convinced, couldn’t continue to persuade them and had to nod in agreement.

"Good, it’s decided then. I’ll reply to Huang Tianwen immediately."

Flushed with success, Zhang Qun didn’t dwell any longer and directly wrote a letter agreeing with Huang Tianwen.

In the afternoon, inside the City Lord’s mansion.

After sending the letter, Chen Yang and Huang Tianwen waited.

Awaiting Zhang Qun’s response.

By afternoon, finally, an armored post brought in the reply.

Huang Tianwen opened it eagerly to check.

Seeing the content of the letter stipulating agreement to come over, his tense heart finally settled.

A smile appeared on his face too.

"Great, great, Zhang Qun agreed!" Huang Tianwen repeatedly uttered great.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang was invigorated!

As long as Zhang Qun comes, things become much simpler.

"City Lord Huang, although he agreed, we can’t let our guard down. You must act immediately so Zhang Qun sees your sincerity in conversion," after a wave of joy, Chen Yang quickly calmed down.

Though Zhang Qun agreed to come, he hasn’t yet arrived.

If we prematurely lower our guard now, it would be unwise.
