To judge the strength of a sect, one must first look at the level of experts it possesses, then look at its size, wealth, and influence. Generally speaking, in order for a sect to be ranked amongst the first-rate top sects, it must first have three or more Nascent Souls, and secondly, the number of disciples at the lower levels must be sufficient.

Within Secluded Sun City, there were three top powers that were in line with the first-rate standards. They were the Ice Profound Sect, Huanqian Sect, and the Gong Clan. The Mountain Gate of these three forces were all located in Secluded Sun City. The Gong Clan was located in the East City, while the Ice Mysterious Gate and Huanqian Sect were located in the south and north. Due to the existence of the Great Spiritual Veins in the city, the Spiritual Qi in the city was exceptionally dense, which was beneficial to the cultivation of the disciples under the sect. With such unique conditions, it was naturally easier for the three forces to cultivate talents.

There was a mountain peak in the shape of a "grade" in Dongcheng. The Gong Clan was built around the mountain, and it looked like a "throne". The tall mountain peak behind it was the backrest of the "throne", and the mountain peaks on the left and right sides were the armrests of the "throne". The Gong Clan Villa's Villa Gate Memorial Arch was situated halfway up the hillside of the "backrest", seated north to south, with a magnificent aura. Back then, the ancestors of the Gong Clan felt that this place had the aura of ruling over the world, so they built the mountain gate here.

At this time, in the front hall of the Gong Clan Villa, the leaders of the three top forces of Secluded Sun City were gathered. However, the atmosphere did not seem friendly. The Gong Clan's Clan Head, Gong Wuque, sat in the middle. On the left and right, there was an old man. On the left, a purple-robed old man with white hair said with an unhappy expression, "Fellow Daoist Gong, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to occupy a single spirit mine."

The purple-robed old man was the Huanqian Sect 's Sect Leader, Zhou Dong, and the white-robed Daoist opposite him was the Sect Leader of the Ice Profound Sect, Han Xiangzi. The Sect Leaders of the three top forces were naturally working for the sake of carving up the Heavenly Phoenix Sect.

Although the Heavenly Phoenix Sect was only a second-rate power, they still had two spirit mines and several dozen spirit incense pavilions under them. They were simply too fat. No wonder the three powers were greedy. For example, today, Sect Master Chu Jun was trapped on the eighteenth floor, and the eighteenth floor was also taken over by the demon army. As a result, the three sects began to stir. The Gong Clan took the initiative to occupy a spirit mine located about five hundred miles east of Secluded Sun City by the Heavenly Phoenix Sect.

Not long after the Heavenly Phoenix Sect destroyed the Primordial Chaos Pavilion, Huanqian Sect attempted to seize the spirit mine. Later, due to the mediation of the City Lord's Manor and the interference of the Immortal Cultivator Guild, Huanqian Sect could only give up resentfully. Now that the Gong Clan had taken over the spirit mine, he was naturally very unhappy.

Gong Wuque smiled at Zhou Dong and said, "Sect Leader Zhou is a little calm and irritable. It is said that treasures have no owner. Those who are capable will live in them. Since our Gong Clan snatched the spirit mine first, then it belongs to us!"

Zhou Ti said angrily, "Fellow Daoist Gong, is it because our sect snatched the spirit ore from the Gong Clan and the spirit ore belongs to us, Huanqian Sect?"

"Of course," Gong Wuque said indifferently, "but it also depends on whether your Huanqian Sect has enough appetite. Be careful not to swallow it, and instead choke to death!"

Zhou Dong's expression changed slightly. His aura at the late Nascent Soul stage suddenly released. His rich Spiritual Energy surged like a flood, as if it was going to overwhelm the entire Gong Clan Villa. It was truly shocking. Gong Wuque's expression did not change. With a slight relaxation of his aura, the entire hall seemed to be placed between two undercurrents and would turn into dust if he was a little careless.

Sect Leader Han Xiangzi coughed softly and flicked his left middle finger. A wisp of Spiritual Energy pierced into the middle of two tit-for-tat undercurrents and coldly said, "It's inappropriate to talk about it. Why do you have to hurt your harmony?"

Zhou Dong and Gong Wuque snorted coldly at the same time. They took the opportunity to put away their spiritual energy. The strength of the Gong Clan and Huanqian Sect was only between the two of them. If they really fought, they could only lose both of them. Since Han Xiangzi had finished the match, the two of them naturally got off the donkey along the slope.

Unexpectedly, Han Xiangzi said coldly, "Patriarch Gong, Sect Leader Zhou is right. Your Gong Clan's exclusive possession of a spirit mine is indeed not very honest!"

Hearing this, Zhou Dong was secretly delighted, stroking his white beard and nodding.

Gong Wuque's expression turned ugly as he sneered, "Sect Leader Han, the Heavenly Phoenix Sect still has a Spirit Mine with a reserve of hundreds of billions. If you have the ability, you can snatch it away. Why bother snatching food from our Gong Clan?"

Han Xiangzi said indifferently, "Sect Leader Gong, there are only two spirit mines, but your Gong Clan only has one. Aren't you afraid that it will collapse?"

Gong Wuque was backed by the First Prince, so he naturally wasn't afraid of the Ice Mysterious Sect and Huanqian Sect. He said with a calm expression, "I think I can swallow a small spirit mine. Sigh, there's nothing I can do. The Gong Clan has a big business, and there are too many places to spend money. I have to provide the First Prince with money every year. If I don't have some spirit crystals, I won't be able to last!"

Han Xiangzi and Zhou Dong's expressions changed slightly. The latter sneered and said, "Gong Wuque, do you want to use the first prince to suppress us?"

Gong Wuque said indifferently, "I don't mean that. However, if the two Sect Leaders insist on thinking like this, I have no choice!"

Han Xiangzi and Zhou Dong exchanged glances, their expressions darkening!

"Actually, the reserves of the Sky Phoenix Sect's Huashuang Peak Spirit Mine are almost twice as large as our Gong Clan's. In addition, the properties of the Sky Phoenix Sect are quite considerable, enough for you to split it up!" Gong Wuque said with a laugh, "The Sky Phoenix Sect's Huashuang Peak Spirit Mine is almost twice as large as ours!"

Zhou Dong sneered, "Old Man Gong, you are quite frank. You obtained a spirit mine without any effort. If we want to snatch the spirit mine from Huashuang Peak, we will definitely face the Heavenly Phoenix Sect head-on. At that time, the losses will not be small!"

Gong Wuque clapped his hands in disdain and said, "Sect Leader Zhou, the Heavenly Phoenix Sect is only a second-rate force. It's simply as easy as clapping your hands to annihilate the Heavenly Phoenix Sect!"

"Hehe!" Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Yes, the Heavenly Phoenix Sect is a second-rate force, However, there were nearly twenty Golden Core experts, There was also a sixth grade mountain guardian spirit beast, "Although they are only at the mid Nascent Soul stage, they are not easy to provoke. Furthermore, I heard that they also have a Snow Jade Fragrant Yin Fox, which is equivalent to two Nascent Souls. If they want to destroy the Heavenly Phoenix Sect, the price they have to pay will not be small. Furthermore, the Heavenly Phoenix Sect's Sect Master Chu Jun seems to have some relationship with the Immortal Cultivation Guild and has some friendship with the City Lord's Manor!"

"Zhou Dong, if you want to eat meat and soup, you have to pay a price. There are good things in the world that you can obtain without effort. As for the Immortal Cultivator Guild and the City Lord's Mansion, you don't have to worry at all. Look, my Gong Clan has taken over a spirit mine from the Heavenly Phoenix Sect. Did they interfere? The Heavenly Phoenix Sect doesn't even dare to spit!" Gong Wuque said disdainfully.

At this moment, a servant girl from the Gong Clan walked in quickly with her butt twisted!

Gong Wuque frowned and shouted coldly, "What is it?"

The maidservant blessed him and respectfully said, "Report to the Patriarch, Liu Suifeng, the steward of the Immortal Cultivation Association, and the vice sect master of the Heavenly Phoenix Sect, Shangguan Yu, for a visit!"

Zhou Dong and Han Xiangzi exchanged a glance. The former stroked his beard and smiled, "Gong Wuque, someone who doesn't even dare to fart is coming!"

Gong Wuque's expression darkened slightly. Liu Suifeng knew why he had come without asking. He said in a low voice, "Invite them to the side hall. Tell me that my clan head is not here. Have Zhengwu send them away!"

"Yes!" The maid hurriedly retreated.

Zhou Dong gloated, "Gong Wuque, you can't hide for fifteen years!"

Gong Wuque sneered, "This old brat Liu Suifeng is really nosy. I just disappeared. What can he do to me?"

In the side hall.

Liu Suifeng, who was dressed in a white robe and had his hair combed meticulously, sat upright and leisurely. He leisurely tasted the spiritual tea that the maidservant had given him. Shangguan Yu and Li Xiangjun sat at the bottom of the table.

At this time, a twenty-seven or twenty-eight year old white-clothed man walked in from outside. He had a bright smile on his face. His gaze swept past Li Xiangjun and Shangguan Yu's faces, and he walked straight to Liu Suifeng. He laughed and said, "I wonder what wind blew Liu Zongguan here?"

Liu Suifeng put down the teacup and smiled, "I came to visit the Palace Clan Master on purpose this time!"

"Oh, what a coincidence. My father went into seclusion a few days ago. I'm afraid it will take a year and a half before he comes out. Chief Liu, if you need anything, let me know!" Gong Zhengwu said apologetically, but his eyes couldn't conceal a trace of pride as he glanced at the charming Li Xiangjun.

At the Sky Phoenix Sect Opening Ceremony last time, Gong Zhengwu ran to the kicking ground. Originally, he wanted to show his face in front of Li Xiangjun, but in the end, he was beaten to ashes by Chu Jun. In the end, he was even knocked unconscious by his Tiger Rhino Soul Shaking Drum. This was considered a great humiliation in his entire life. Now that Li Xiangjun had personally come to the Gong Clan, it was obvious that he wanted to negotiate about the occupation of the spirit mine. Seeing the Soul Sucking Beauty's "lowered eyebrows and pleasing eyes", Gong Zhengwu felt extremely proud.

"Oh, the Gong Clan's Clan Master actually went into seclusion. What a coincidence!" Liu Suifeng frowned.

Gong Zhengwu nodded and smiled, "Indeed, if Commander Liu has something to do, this young master can mainly take care of it on behalf of my father. Those who can't take care of it can only wait for him to come out of seclusion."

Li Xiangjun leisurely stood up with a charming smile on her face!

Only then did Gong Zhengwu wake up like a dream and say, "Oh, isn't this Miss Xiangjun? Haha, I'm really sorry, I didn't notice it just now!"

"Young Master Gong is a noble person who is busy!" Li Xiangjun smiled sweetly.

"No, no!" Gong Zhengwu looked at Li Xiangjun's tempting and sinful figure and face. His heart was like a cat's scratch as he thought to himself, "When the Heavenly Phoenix Sect is destroyed, this young master will definitely get hold of this attractive woman. Tsk tsk, that charming glance can hook a person's soul away!"

Gong Zhengwu was waiting for Li Xiangjun to explain his purpose in a soft voice. He pretended to refuse again, but Li Xiangjun brushed her hair and said indifferently, "Commander Liu, since the Palace Head is not here, let's go and visit again next time!"

Gong Wuque was obviously deliberately hiding. It would be a waste of time to stay any longer. Liu Suifeng nodded and said, "Alright!" After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the hall.

Gong Zhengwu was instantly dumbfounded. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say!

Shangguan Yu stopped in front of Gong Zhengwu and said coldly, "Please tell Gong Wuque that our Heavenly Phoenix Sect will not let it go like this. Sooner or later, your Gong Clan will spit out all the ingredients they ate with interest. Do your best!"

Gong Zhengwu sneered disdainfully, "What the hell is your Heavenly Phoenix Sect doing? You dare to challenge our Gong Clan? I don't know what you've done!"
