Jiang Yining turned to look at Liu Jiantang not far away, and then said, "I was originally one of the Ten Holy Monarchs of Tianmojian, the Creation Holy Monarch. Have you heard of the ancient method 'Asking the Heavens'? I have mastered the Creation Chapter and can glimpse the secrets of heaven."
Xiao Yuhan was silent for a moment. He had heard of the ancient method called "Asking the Heavens," but it was almost lost. He immediately understood why this woman could see through him. However, such a technique for prying into the secrets of heaven must have come at a price.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuhan was unwilling to talk to this woman too much, perhaps thinking that he should deliberately keep his distance from her, because it might be difficult to keep his secrets in front of this woman.
However, it would be unwise to harbor murderous intent at this moment. What if this woman is truly a friend, not an enemy?
So he said, "We can join forces, but not with me, but with the Heavenly Sword Sect. So you can talk to the sect leader about the rest yourself. If you can gain my trust, I will have no objections."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan glanced at Liu Jiantang, then turned and left.
Liu Jiantang stared at the white-haired woman, and Jiang Yining also felt very strange. She originally thought that the man would definitely not refuse when she proposed to join forces with Xiao Yuhan, but now it seemed that Xiao Yuhan still had many concerns.
...
After leaving the back mountain, Xiao Yuhan went down the mountain overnight and went to the Blood Lotus Sect headquarters.
Upon seeing Zhang Chengfeng, his first words were: "Senior Brother Sect Leader, you didn't suspect anything about what happened before, did you?"
"What I explained to them was that the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect wanted to join the Dao Alliance, so he wanted to join forces with the Heavenly Sword Sect."
Xiao Yuhan nodded. "Have the things I told you about before been arranged?"
"It's all arranged, but I just don't understand why Your Majesty values those two so much."
“I’m not interested in those two, I’m interested in Li Qianyun. This kid has a good character and is good material to be a villain. Wouldn’t it be better to keep him in the Blood Lotus Sect and use him for my purposes? He will definitely not be willing to have his cultivation crippled like this.”
Zhang Chengfeng pondered, "But what if he really retires from the martial world with that little girl?"
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Xiao Yuhan's eyes. "Sigh... it's not that easy to back down. Can you back down? Or can I? I've won over a group of people, and what I want is for them to continue working for me. It's not that easy for them to back down."
Looking at the man before him, Zhang Chengfeng felt a pang of unease and asked, "Does this kid really have that ability? Is he worthy of your attention, Holy Lord?"
Xiao Yuhan countered, "He can manage the Discipline Hall so well, do you think he lacks ability? After bringing him back, teach him the Blood Lotus Technique, let him focus on his work, and don't tell him about me yet."
"I understand, but what if he's unwilling?"
Xiao Yuhan shook his head. Li Qianyun in the original work was no simple character. How could she so easily retire from the martial world? The Xiao Yuhan in the original work had trained him well. Since he could not continue to stay in the Heavenly Sword Sect, he could stay in the Blood Lotus Sect. In the future, he might still be a key pawn.
"If he's unwilling, then help him, but..."
"But what?" Zhang Chengfeng pressed.
"Don't hurt the girl next to him. She's innocent. If this kid is really unusable, then you can decide what to do with him. The word 'emotion' in this world is the most hurtful, but it can also change a person the most. Perhaps that Bishui is a good prospect?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Zhang Chengfeng's eyes. He understood Xiao Yuhan's meaning. Since the little girl couldn't be harmed, it didn't mean that she couldn't be used to threaten Li Qianyun. If that didn't work, Liu Bishui could also become a good seedling that the Blood Lotus Sect could cultivate.
Ideally, both of them should stay. If that's not possible, it's not impossible to scheme to kill one of them and then keep the other alive.
After all, both of them came from the Heavenly Sword Sect, so their foundation was already good. If they were properly nurtured, they might become the backbone of the Blood Lotus Sect in the future. However, Zhang Chengfeng still didn't quite understand why these two were worth Xiao Yuhan's attention.
"Holy Lord, are they really worth all this trouble?"
Xiao Yuhan turned to look at Zhang Chengfeng. "Most of the ordinary disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect were recruited by you with a false belief. They are foolish and brainless. Those who believe in such nonsense as the Blood Lotus Saint Lord are just cannon fodder. And not many of the experts in the sect are truly loyal to you and me. Most of them have their own ulterior motives, whether it's for cultivation techniques or power and status. Therefore, I need two trusted people to take control of the Blood Lotus Sect. These two people must be absolutely loyal to me. Then they can continue to develop their own trusted people. Only in this way will the sect truly belong to me. Do you understand?"
