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...
"Do you know the origins of the Xia Kingdom's Heshan Sect?"
Han Qinhu seemed to see through Bai Cang's doubts, "This is the training ground that my master, True Lord Tianhe, won in a duel with Longhu Mountain."
"Tianhe Zhenjun is the youngest and most promising person in the Heshan Sect to attain the primordial spirit, but he was met with the fear and suppression of those corrupt old dogs, which is why the Xia Kingdom's Heshan Sect came into being."
"However, the Xia Kingdom's Heshan Sect has only been established for a short time. Most of its members were transferred from the Ten Thousand Mountains, and there are even many spies planted by corrupt old dogs. They are truly incorrigible."
"However, they won't be able to cause trouble for long. It will be one or two years at the shortest, and three or five years at the longest. Once my master, True Lord Tianhe, is free to deal with them, he will definitely put them in a life-or-death situation."
"As my personal disciple, you have inevitably faced some difficulties in recent years, but as long as you remain within the Red Dragon Temple, no one will dare to kill a disciple of a True Lord."
"Be patient for a few years, and your bright future will surely come!"
After hearing this, Bai Cang was completely stunned!
So, the Xia Guo He Shan sect is just the "Xin He Lian Sheng" that Tianhe Zhenjun created?
Moreover, judging from the implication in Han Qinhu's words, their faction was actually in a weak and disadvantageous position.
No wonder Han Qinhu, a disciple of the True Lord, couldn't even get a position at the Red Dragon Temple. It turns out he was in a "hibernation" phase!
Moreover, Bai Cang can confirm with absolute certainty that the situation of the Crimson Dragon General Temple, and even the entire Xia Kingdom's Heshan Sect, is definitely not as simple as Han Qinhu described.
It involves not only the matter of "establishing a separate sect," but also the "grudges and affections" between the reformists and the conservatives, and even the major Xuanmen sect of Longhu Mountain. It is simply a chaotic mess.
However, he is currently completely in the dark and cannot make more accurate predictions without obtaining more information.
Even the true thoughts of the Heavenly River True Lord are completely unknown.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that Han Qinhu is definitely a radical.
And what's more, he's a radical who's had no chance of getting ahead!
But what could Bai Cang do?
When he killed the master of the Three Yin Temple and "assisted" Han Qinhu in sweeping through Guobei County, he had already boarded the pirate ship of Han Qinhu's faction.
They have no choice but to stick to one path to the bitter end, and they don't even have the opportunity to change sides.
After all, with Han Qinhu, he could at least have the title of a direct disciple, thus completely whitewashing the "Five Elements Yin Magic".
The other group, however, didn't even know who "Master Bai" was, nor did they recognize any of those people. They were like a pig's head that couldn't find its temple.
Thinking of this, Bai Cang's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Why doesn't Master explain the dangers to Grandmaster and ask him to wipe out those insects?"
Damn it! How can the Heshan Cult be run well when it's with these bastards?
If you can't even wipe out the people of the opposing faction, how dare you call yourself a radical?
Even Bai Cang, a naturally steady and conservative, felt that Han Qinhu and his radical group were too conservative.
"Ahem, my most pressing task is to condense a superior-grade Dao foundation. I have no time to spare for anything else at the moment."
Han Qinhu awkwardly touched his nose, "Moreover, your grandmaster, True Lord Tianhe, before he established the Heshan Sect of Xia Kingdom, he adhered to the strategy of valuing quality over quantity, and he did not have many disciples."
"If we don't send people from the headquarters in the Ten Thousand Mountains, how can we manage such a huge undertaking?"
"Moreover, there are also some dissatisfactions within Longhu Mountain regarding this bet. Although they won't renege on the debt, they will inevitably try to trip us up. We need enough manpower to take over Xia Kingdom's territory, right?"
"In a few years, when the True Lord has capable subordinates, the situation will naturally improve!"
Maya! Could it be that you're the only one enthusiastic about this whole thing?
Or to put it another way: You can't even get a word in front of the Heavenly River True Lord.
You're not trying to pull a fast one on me, are you?
That's right! "Old Thief Han" once said: Under the tutelage of True Lord Tianhe, there are several Dao Foundation True Transmissions and countless Qi Refining Registers.
This guy clearly hasn't built a foundation for the Dao. Could he be one of those "countless people who have recorded countless names in the Qi Refining stage"?
Thinking about this.
Bai Cang broke out in a cold sweat: Damn it! Could it be that I've latched onto a fake big shot?
But that shouldn't be the case!
Based on "Old Thief Han's" arrogant, domineering, and unscrupulous behavior, if he didn't have a powerful backer, shouldn't he have been crushed by some Dao Foundation Realm cultivator long ago?
Thinking this, Bai Cang immediately probed, "True Lord, you dominate all directions, why worry about not having anyone to use?"
"If our master truly wants to reform the Xia Kingdom's Heshan Sect, wouldn't a mere call to arms draw countless followers?"
"Look, you're in such a hurry again!" Han Qinhu said earnestly, "You need to remain calm in times of great importance. How can you follow your master to accomplish great things if you're like this?"
After saying that, Han Qinhu glanced around furtively before lowering his voice and saying, "This matter is the biggest secret of the Heshan Sect of my Xia Kingdom. I'm only telling you this, so don't tell anyone else."
I understand, we must pass this on!
Don't take things out of context—Excerpt from "Don't Take Things Out of Context".
Bai Cang rolled his eyes inwardly and patted his chest loudly, "Master, rest assured, your disciple guarantees to keep your mouth shut!"
Bai Cang was absolutely certain, but Han Qinhu was still uneasy.
He looked around furtively, then winked and made faces at Bai Cang.
Seeing that Bai Cang was really not going to listen, he said impatiently, "Come closer!"
Bai Cang felt a chill in his heart and reluctantly leaned in to listen.
Han Qinhu said, "Your grandmaster is currently studying the book of True Lord Lilong of Longhu Mountain."
"Once we succeed—no, once we forge a lasting bond—we'll gain the support of Longhu Mountain and never have to put up with those corrupt old dogs again!"
"hiss!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang gasped, his mind filled with only one thought: The Dragon King's son-in-law is terrifying!
Damn it! Is this something I can hear?
Almost instantly, Bai Cang transformed into a shadowy figure and vanished from the spot.
He was scared! He was really scared!
What if Han Qinhu blurts out something he shouldn't say again? Wouldn't that put him in great danger?
However, judging from this point of view, "Daddy Han" does indeed have some influence, otherwise he would not have been able to obtain such "top secrets".
Han Qinhu, watching Bai Cang flee in a disheveled state, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Damn it! I finally managed to fool them!
In the past, when he was all alone and proudly roamed the world, he felt that the world was so vast that he could go anywhere, and the sky was high and the sea was wide, allowing him to roam freely.
However, when it came to actually doing something, they found themselves in the embarrassing situation of having no one available.
They want to fold their wings, but there are few that they find acceptable.
Having finally found a disciple he found pleasing to the eye, and who was even more talented than himself, how could Han Qinhu not hold onto him tightly?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted several months at the crucial moment of his foundation building to specifically examine Bai Cang's character, methods, and talents.
In Han Qinhu's view, Bai Cang is not only his future successor, but also his "trump card" and "secret weapon" in his quest for favor with Tianhe Zhenjun.
Have you not heard: "What a wonderful grandson!"
