In a world of immortals and swordsmen, a young Taoist named Mu Shao'ai loves flying swords, raising poison insects, drawing talismans, and refining pills. Isn't it delightful to live a care...
"The Ma family's patriarch, a Dao Foundation True Person?"
Bai Cang lowered his eyelids, his mind racing, and immediately said decisively, "You should formally report this matter to the General Council, and I will personally push for the General Council to review this matter."
Although Bai Cang did not believe in the so-called "Ma family patriarch's advancement to the Dao Foundation stage", or rather, he had doubts about his strength and condition.
Otherwise, the actions of Majiazhai would not be so "petty," showing no sign of the arrogance of having Daoji Zhenren in charge.
That's right! In Bai Cang's opinion, the actions of Majia Village were far too petty.
The fact that they didn't even touch the Sanyin Temple, and instead gave the most "lucrative" Guobei County to the "weak" Sanyin Temple, is the biggest abnormality.
Logically speaking, if the Ma family patriarch had truly advanced to the Dao Foundation True Person realm, he could have directly negotiated with the Crimson Dragon Temple to claim the Northern Yin Mountains and surrounding areas as his own territory.
It's highly unlikely that the Red Dragon Temple would want to antagonize a Dao Foundation Real Person over this remote and impoverished area and a small Sanyin Temple.
At most, they could just make the Ma family patriarch "submit," give him a title like "guest minister," and set a quota for annual offerings, which would perfectly resolve the matter.
Why bother with any "alliance" and secretly undermining the Three Yin Temple?
However, it is always better to be safe than sorry, so Bai Cang will not act rashly, much less have a direct conflict with "Ancestor Ma".
The Sanyin Temple is part of the Xia Kingdom's Heshan Sect, so it should naturally be protected by the Chilong General Temple when something happens.
When other perspectives encounter problems, it may not be so easy to get support from the overall perspective.
However, since the Sanyin Temple was his fiefdom as the "True Transmission of the Great White," the Chilong General Temple naturally couldn't ignore it.
The martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships and social interactions.
He, the "true disciple of Bai Da," relied mainly on five things to get by: betraying his brothers, breaking faith, framing others, being a traitor, and taking care of his sister-in-law. No, wait, wrong movie, he mainly relied on three things: being strong himself, having powerful backers, and having a strong background!
As a true disciple and grand-disciple of the Supreme Master, how could the Crimson Dragon Supreme Master allow others to bully them? Is it appropriate for them not to take action?
Does Xia Guohe Mountain Sect still have any dignity?
"I will obey the Abbot's decree!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongbo and Jiao Ci immediately bowed, but Zhang He said, "Should we inform Heihe Town? Or should we try to delay them for a while?"
The Sanyin Temple guards Guobei County, but its territory extends far beyond the county seat. It encompasses five towns, eight townships, and the thirteen villages in the Beiyin Mountains, all of which fall under its jurisdiction.
According to the normal plan, at least five towns and eight townships should have established branch offices and stationed personnel there.
Bai Cang had originally planned to establish a branch temple in Green Willow Town to guard the area for the Three Yin Temple.
Unfortunately, the women of Sanyin were only thinking about making a quick buck and running away; they had no intention of doing anything else.
With the execution of the Three Yin Practitioners, Bai Cang, the new abbot, focused on his cultivation at the main temple gate and naturally had no interest in the affairs of the Three Yin Temple.
As a result, things were delayed.
Today, the five towns, eight townships, and thirteen villages have effectively broken away from the "rule" of the Sanyin Temple and have become "separatist forces" in name only.
After all, that's how power works; if you don't hold it, there are plenty of people who want to fill the void.
This action by Majiazhai is even more aimed at stripping away the "name" of Sanyin Temple.
If we ignore this, it will be like "expanding territory" if we want to take it back later.
Even if the Red Dragon Temple were to step forward and "reclaim lost territory" for the Three Yin Temple, it would absolutely sweep through the enemy's territory with overwhelming force, killing countless people to intimidate all forces and demonstrate the ferocity of the Heshan Sect.
From the perspective of the Red Dragon General View, doing so is naturally justifiable, and can even be said to be very necessary.
But for Bai Cang: This is all my money, my money!
Therefore, we must not allow Majiazhai to accomplish this. At the very least, we must hold out until Chilong Temple steps in and maintains the apparent "rule" of Sanyin Temple.
With this in mind, Bai Cang immediately made a decision.
With a flick of his sleeves, his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation.
His aura surged dramatically, quickly reaching the level of over a hundred apertures.
Beneath his black Taoist robe, his temples were gray, his face was sinister, and his eyes seemed to flicker with green ghost fire. His entire body exuded a cold aura.
"I am the protector of Master Bai Zhen, and my name is: Master Bai Gu."
Bai Cang smiled calmly, "From now on, I will be in charge of guarding the Three Yin Temple. Who agrees, who disagrees?"
Upon seeing this, Sun Hongbo and the other two did not hesitate for even half a second and immediately knelt down, saying, "We greet Master Baigu."
There are some things they'd better not inquire about.
The less they know, the safer they are. They've never seen any "Master Bai Da Zhen Chuan" before; they only know "Master Bai Gu Dao Zhang".
"I'm off!"
Bai Cang chuckled softly, and his figure vanished into thin air.
In fact, he didn't expect Sun Hongbo and the others to be able to keep the secret. After all, there were countless secret techniques for searching souls and questioning hearts in the cultivation world, and the weakness of the "old three" meant that it would be difficult for them to keep the secret.
This has nothing to do with their loyalty; weakness itself is the "original sin."
However, Bai Cang didn't care: the alias "White Bone Taoist" was just a small attempt for him to test his skills.
Even if someone exposes us, so what?
As a disciple of the True Lord, shouldn't he, the "True Disciple of Bai Da," have some secrets and methods?
This is also why he only revealed his profound cultivation level to Sun Hongbo and others.
After all, both the Hundred Apertures and the Three Hundred Apertures represent the "perfection" of Qi cultivation. Who can say for sure?
Once outside Guobei County, Bai Cang flew towards Heihe Town amidst howling winds.
While the martial arts world certainly values human relationships and social interactions, it also involves fighting and killing!
In no time, he arrived outside Heihe Town.
With just the activation of the "Qi Observation Method," a courtyard filled with a large number of cultivators came into Bai Cang's view.
It was a large "mansion" with five courtyards, located in the very center of Heihe Town.
Two stone lions crouched in front of the grand red gate, their forms faintly shimmering with spiritual light.
Even in the night rain, there were many others, patrolling with their wolfhounds, including some innate martial artists.
Various underhanded tactics were employed in every corner of the mansion.
"The Five Ghosts vanish, by imperial decree!"
With a soft shout, Bai Cang vanished into thin air, disappearing into the Netherworld Gap.
All the tactics the opponent had devised were rendered useless by Bai Cang's "perfect stealth".
In the blink of an eye, he arrived outside the main hall of the backyard where many cultivators had gathered, and he could faintly hear the lively sounds of clinking cups and exchanging toasts.
Click!
Suddenly, thunder roared and lightning bolts rolled away.
Bai Cang concealed his aura and swaggered into the main hall, a strange thought inexplicably rising in his mind.
"It seems like almost every time I kill someone, it happens on a rainy night."
"Am I going to go on a killing spree today?!"
