"Something terrible has happened, Sect Master!"
A few days after the Hundred Sects Martial Arts Tournament ended, Li Jingxiao, covered in blood and wielding a long sword, rushed into the Tian Shu Sect.
"Why are you in such a panic?"
Tian Yusheng raised his head and asked slowly and deliberately.
Li Jingxiao took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and hurriedly explained, "Didn't you send me out to hunt down man-eating spirit beasts? When I arrived at the location, I discovered that those spirit beasts were being raised by the Demonic Sect! I barely escaped with my life and have come to report this!"
"What?!"
Tian Yusheng suddenly stood up.
“Absolutely right! Some of the martial artists among them are in the exact same state as Dongfang Changming and Dongfang Qing back then!”
Li Jingxiao's tone was resolute.
He rolled up his sleeves, and a nauseating stench emanated from his blood-soaked wounds.
Tian Yusheng hurriedly handed him a pill, thinking to himself that the people from the Demon Soul were not gentle and that this was his precious research material. What if something happened to it?
"So many years have passed in the Xuan Yan Star Realm, and the evil cult has never had a moment of peace. But they usually hide in the shadows and never dare to openly display their existence. What's going on now?"
He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "There seems to be something fishy about this. Jingxiao, go back and tell the elders. I'll go and discuss countermeasures with the other leaders of the forces!"
"good!"
Li Jingxiao had just turned around when he suddenly stopped and said, "If we are to besiege the Demonic Sect, please remember me, Sect Leader!"
He solemnly cupped his hands in greeting.
Tian Yusheng smiled.
"Don't worry, I know you hate the Demonic Sect the most, and besides, you are one of the top fighters in our Tian Shu Sect. How could I forget you?"
Hearing this, Li Jingxiao was finally relieved.
"By the way, you and Tingye..."
"Sect Master, this is my own matter. It's just a temporary conflict, but I can resolve it. When the time comes, Tingye will definitely join the team to annihilate the Demonic Sect. I hope the Sect Master will not blame her."
Tian Yusheng simply smiled and said, "Tingye is also a disciple of my Tian Shu Sect, how could I blame her? I'm just worried that she's too impulsive and that the Shangguan family head will punish her more severely. When I go to the Shangguan family this time, I will also plead with the Shangguan family head on your behalf."
Li Jingxiao said gratefully, "Then thank you very much, Sect Master!"
After he left, the smile on Tian Yusheng's face gradually disappeared.
"Hehe, this little dog has learned to keep things from you too."
Mo Ye said in a sarcastic tone.
“It doesn’t matter. Would you take a pet’s resistance to heart?” Tian Yusheng said coldly. “What I’m worried about is that Shangguan Tingye investigated what happened back then and told Jingxiao. He might not believe it once or twice, but when Shangguan Tingye actually finds the evidence, even if Jingxiao still doesn’t believe it, a seed of doubt will be planted in his heart.”
"Moreover, the effects of the elixir are gradually increasing, and I'm worried that he might get out of control..."
"Should I reduce the effects of the pill?"
No, that won't do.
Tian Yusheng shook his head and denied: "Let's stick to the original plan. Shangguan Tingye will always find a way... Hmph, if she accidentally dies in the mission to eliminate the demonic martial artists, Jingxiao probably won't find anything out."
"Hehe, yeah, after all, this kid trusts you completely."
...
"The Demonic Cult has reappeared? Shortly after the Eastern Family was exposed? What a coincidence!"
In the imperial study of the Xuan Yan Dynasty, upon hearing Xia Shufan's report, Emperor Xuan Yan sneered, "I guess that old codger Tian Yusheng couldn't hold back any longer."
"Father, what should we do?"
"What else can we do? Let's just go with the flow and do what that old bastard Tian Yusheng does. Isn't it just about annihilating the demonic martial artists? Tell Mo Yuandao to send some strong men to kill them all while secretly gathering evidence of Tian Yusheng's collusion with the demonic path!"
"Yes, Your Majesty understands!"
"And...did you find the lampwick grass that the Wind Maiden wanted?"
Xia Shufan had come for this very reason. He quickly presented a report and said, “Father, according to my investigation, only the Lantern Flame Sect within the Xuan Yan Dynasty cultivated such spiritual items in large quantities. However, a year ago, the Lantern Flame Sect was completely wiped out in the competition among several major forces. The Lantern Ember Grass they left behind was put into auction in batches at the Xuanhe Auction House in the Dynasty. Recently, the Xuanhe Auction House is planning to sell the last batch of Lantern Ember Grass, which is about a dozen plants.”
Are you sure?
"Absolutely certain! Your subject has already confirmed with the auction house manager!"
"Not bad." Emperor Xuan Yan nodded in satisfaction. "I trust you to handle things. Now that it's confirmed that the Lamp Ash Grass will be auctioned at the Xuanhe Auction House, go and tell Miss Feng... no, tell Young Master Lin."
"yes."
"By the way, on the day the auction begins, you must also go into the auction hall with them, understand?"
"Your subject understands."
Xia Shufan gave a knowing smile.
It's just paying money, right? He's good at that. The Xuan Yan Dynasty may not have much else, but its treasury is very full!
They are distinguished guests, and they are also the ones who won the championship in the Hundred Sects Martial Arts Tournament, which greatly enhanced the prestige of their Xuan Yan Dynasty. No matter how ignorant Xia Shufan is, he would never let Lin Feng give up this Crimson Blood Crystal.
Emperor Xuan Yan waved his hand, dismissing the man.
After thinking it over carefully, he summoned an old man in black robes.
"His Majesty!"
The old man knelt on the ground, exuding a profound aura.
"Old Wei, please rise quickly."
Emperor Xuan Yan hurriedly helped the man up and then said, "I'm sure Elder Wei heard what I just said to Shu Fan."
"Does His Majesty want me to be His Highness's personal bodyguard?"
Old Wei, suddenly struck by inspiration, hurriedly asked the question.
"good."
Emperor Xuan Yan sighed and said, "After what happened at the Hundred Sects Martial Arts Tournament, the Eastern Clan must hold a grudge against my Xuan Yan Dynasty. Now that we know the Demonic Sect, the Eastern Clan, and the Tian Shu Sect are all in cahoots, these two forces cannot openly attack the Xuan Yan Dynasty, nor do they dare to attack Young Masters Shen Xiao Hong and Lin Feng. Since that's the case, they are more likely to resort to some underhanded tricks to distract us. Therefore, Shu Fan is going to the auction house with Lin Feng and the other two, and he may encounter danger. I ask you to accompany him as his protector."
"I will certainly live up to Your Majesty's trust! Even if it costs me my old life, I will protect the Fifth Prince!"
Old Wei said with a serious expression.
If Lin Feng were here, he would definitely praise Emperor Xuan Yan for his foresight.
Because in Xia Shufan's original destiny, he was to die at the hands of Li Jingxiao in the last two days.
Lin Feng was quite surprised when he learned that the Lamp Ash Grass was in the Xuanhe Auction House.
"That's a great place."
Lin Feng stared at Xia Shufan meaningfully and then smiled.
"In addition, to avoid any other trouble, my father asked me to come along. I hope the three of you will not be offended, after all, there are some things I need at that auction house."
Xia Shufan said with a smile.
"There is nothing wrong with that."
This kid is bringing him a chance to win.
Lin Feng chuckled inwardly.
