In Zhongzhou, in the Tianyue Trading Company in Yuecheng
, the atmosphere was quite awkward. Xu Yunyue looked at Lin Jiang, shook her head in her heart, and gave up the idea of taking both father and son away. She still looked down on Lin Jiang.
“Fellow Daoist Huang, I don’t care what grudge you have against Yang Luo, but if you have any purpose in coming to Yuecheng, you can speak frankly. Since we are friends, we should be open and aboveboard.”
“Since Senior Xu is so straightforward, it would be unreasonable for me to hide anything. I will be frank. I want to use your sect to kill Yang Luo.”
“Yang Luo is not easy to kill. My Lingyue Sect has already lost five or six waves of men. Now Yang Luo is the most important person in Shengtian Sect, no doubt about it. She is more important than its leader Yang Xi. She has several natal talismans given by Yang Xi, and is protected by Yang Xi’s son Yang Xiong. She also has means to save her life.”
“I once heard that the rise of Shengtian Sect was all due to Yang Luo’s people. Is that true?”
“That’s right. Before Yang Luo appeared, Shengtian Sect was just a second- or third-rate sect. Even among the vassals of my Lingyue Sect, it was not the strongest. But in more than a hundred years, it has risen to the same level as my Lingyue Sect, all thanks to Yang Luo alone.”
“How did she do it?”
"That's what I want to know. We only know that after Yang Luo appeared, Shengtian Sect encountered many adventures and opportunities. All the stumbling blocks on the road of high-level cultivation disappeared, and the cultivation was improved unimpeded,"
said Xu Yunyue. How Yang Luo did it should be the top secret of Shengtian Sect. Even if Lingyue Sect has a high-ranking insider in Shengtian Sect, it is difficult to know the secret.
"It seems that we have a very scary enemy."
"It's scarier than you think."
"In this case, we should not let it grow up. As far as I know, Yang Luo returned to Shengtian Sect this time to break through the cultivation."
"Yes, but your information is out of date. She has broken through the Nascent Soul."
"When?"
"Six days ago, her breakthrough was as easy as drinking water."
"..."
Lin Jiang didn't know what to say for a while. Should he say that Yang Luo was too powerful, or that Xu Yunyue was too careless. Such a powerful and scary enemy's cultivation was improved, and she still had the mind to have fun with the little sand sculpture?
"According to our speculation, Yang Luo will not have any bottleneck before he achieves the state of integration. In a thousand years at most, Yang Luo will achieve the state of integration."
"Doesn't your sect have any measures? Just let her grow?"
"Yes, didn't I say that they all failed?"
"What about new measures?"
"Not yet, so I want to hear your opinion today."
"My opinion is that the entire Lingyue Sect should attack and defeat the Shengtian Sect, and crush Yang Luo with the momentum,"
said Lin Jiang. If the Lingyue Sect can do this, Yang Luo will be useless no matter how talented he is, and he will definitely be killed.
"It can't be done. The strength of our Lingyue Sect and the Shengtian Sect is almost the same. Even if we can defeat them, our Lingyue Sect is almost finished. Our enemies are not just theirs, and it is impossible to let others take advantage of it,"
said Xu Yunyue. There are many sects in Zhongzhou, and no one will complain that the territory is too small. Once the Lingyue Sect is also finished, other sects will not give the Lingyue Sect a chance to recuperate.
"What can we do?"
"If Huang Daoyou is in a hurry, there are ways."
"Senior Xu, please tell me."
"I see that Yang Luo cares a lot about Huang Daoyou. If Huang Daoyou is willing to take a little risk and use himself as bait, maybe he can lure Yang Luo out."
"Senior Xu, didn't you believe the rumors I spread in Tianxian City?"
Lin Jiang suddenly said. It was indeed the case. They were all thousand-year-old foxes. What are you talking about? Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Lin Jiang was plotting against Xu Yunyue, and Xu Yunyue was also plotting against him. This made Lin Jiang alert all of a sudden. If he agreed, he would really become a bait, and he would never come back.
"Rumor?"
"Of course it's a rumor. Senior Xu wouldn't think that someone like Yang Luo could really like me, right?"
Lin Jiang said. Xu Yunyue didn't know the secret between him and Yang Luo. She could only send people to Tianxian City to inquire, but what Tianxian City heard was just the nonsense that Lin Jiang said.
“A tortoise may not like a mung bean.”
“A toad wants to eat swan flesh, and I am the toad.”
“Haha, I’m very interested in knowing what hatred there is between you and Yang Luo that’s worth your going through so much trouble to deal with her.”
“This is a personal matter. It’s a life-and-death struggle.”
“If I don’t know the root cause, I can’t prescribe the right medicine.”
“That’s OK. Huang is a lonely man. At worst, I can wander around the world. I don’t believe that Yang Luo can reach places like Qingzhou and Bingzhou. If that doesn’t work, he can hide in Youzhou and Liangzhou.”
Lin Jiang said lightly, trying to dispel Xu Yunyue's idea of asking about secrets.
Lin Jiang was also quite helpless. People leave traces when they pass by, and wild geese leave voices when they pass by. Even if he had considered all the possibilities, he did not expect that Xu Yunyue had a high-ranking undercover in Shengtian Sect who could know about Yang Luo's investigation of him. In this way, all his plans in the past few days could not be used, and he could only deal with them as they came.
"Huang Daoyou is cool and unrestrained, but my Lingyue Sect is a big family with a big business. We can't afford to lose or run away."
"That's why Huang came here to help. No matter what Lingyue Sect plans, I, Huang, am willing to help."
Lin Jiang immediately bowed his hands and said. He would no longer give random ideas and go with the flow. If Lingyue Sect and Shengtian Sect went to war, then he would help. If he could win, he would kill Yang Luo. If he couldn't win, he would run away. At worst, he would go back to Beizhou to hide from him for thousands of years. If the little idiot didn't want to go back, he wouldn't go back. He would just be Xu Yunyue's concubine.
Seeing Lin Jiang say this, Xu Yunyue stopped asking. No matter what, it was a good thing for Lingyue Sect to have two Yuanying to help. It was not too much to have too many friends.
While the two were talking, the manager of Tianyue Trading Company had already calculated the bill and gave a very high price. I don't know if it was for Xiao Shadiao's face.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, come to the trading company again in seven days. I will introduce a friend to you then."
"Okay, I will definitely come in seven days."
Lin Jiang nodded and talked frankly. He believed that Lingyue Sect would not have much malice towards him now, unless Lingyue Sect had made peace with Shengtian Sect, but this was almost impossible. Before Shengtian Sect had an overwhelming advantage over Lingyue Sect, Lingyue Sect would definitely be the main faction of the war.
Back home, Xiao Shadiao practiced hard. Those three days of absurdity were also a great gain for Xiao Shadiao. Xu Yunyue was not an evil person. He only took and replenished, and did not return.
"Dad, you're back"
"Well, your beast spirit pill, the fourth-level demon pill, was not found,"
Lin Jiang said. Seeing that the little sand sculpture finally had the heart to practice, Lin Jiang was willing to lend a hand. The supply of beast spirit pills increased, but the fourth-level demon pill was still difficult to buy, and he didn't buy it.
After cheating Yang Luo, Lin Jiang was no longer short of money. The storage bag that Yang Luo had thrown away before was worth tens of millions of spirit stones, and the gold source stone could not be measured with spirit stones. He also had some savings before, so he didn't have to worry about resources for practice in the short term.
"How is it, did you fool that woman?"
"That woman is more clever than a monkey when she gets furry, and you can't fool her at all."
"What should I do?"
"Don't panic, go with the flow. In a few days, you can secretly help me customize two substitutes. When you can't beat them, just run away."
"Okay, with my speed, I can be back soon."
"Then I have to rely on you during this period of time, stabilize Xu Yunyue"
"······"
The little sand sculpture's face froze, and he silently put on his waist, brother, you are going to suffer again.
Seven days passed quickly, and Lin Jiang came to Tianyue Trading Company again. Lin Jiang found that there were many more people in Tianyue Trading Company, and it was certain that these people were all talisman masters.
They were all from the same circle, and even if they only looked at each other, they could see each other's details. This is called an expert seeing the doorway.
At this time, Lin Jiang also remembered that Yang Luo had attracted talisman masters from various sects to come to Tianxian City for advice, but there was no talisman master from Lingyue Sect. It seemed that the relationship between Lingyue Sect and Shengtian Sect was already like fire and water.
"The shopkeeper is here"
After a while, with a shout, Xu Yunyue appeared, and next to Xu Yunyue, there was a talisman master that Lin Jiang knew, Chen Jingyu from Qingzhou.
Lin Jiang would not be very surprised by this, after all, Lingyue Sect was the first major sect in Zhongzhou to have friendly exchanges with Qingzhou, and it was normal for them to have cooperation.
And Chen Jingyu seemed to have known Lin Jiang's current identity in advance, and nodded slightly to him. The two had met many times in Tianxian City and had communicated face to face.
Chen Jingyu was very straightforward. When he started, he talked about the new talisman technique. Lingyue Sect collected information about the new talisman technique everywhere, but the information they got was third-hand, fourth-hand, and fifth-hand, which was not very accurate.
However, the information Chen Jingyu had was first-hand. She communicated with Yang Luo face to face, which had a different meaning.
Lin Jiang also listened carefully. After half a day, Chen Jingyu asked everyone to go back and comprehend it by themselves, but quietly left Lin Jiang behind. The two agreed to meet at a place.
