Chapter 280 Or, Backstab
Suihan Island.
Zhou Yi sat alone in the restaurant, leisurely drinking tea and eating beef.
A moment later, a man sat opposite Zhou Yi.
"It's really hard to invite people from your Haoqi Sect to come out," Zhou Yi said sarcastically, "Do you know what shameful things you are doing?"
"Good and evil cannot coexist since ancient times. If I were seen by others, I would forget about being an inner disciple of the Haoqi Sect," Chu Lan, who was sitting opposite Zhou Yi, replied indifferently with a distant tone, as if this was just a routine matter.
Zhou Yi snorted coldly, "Good and evil cannot coexist since ancient times. Then let me ask you, what's going on with the recent ancient cultivators?"
Chu Lan was stunned, thinking that Zhou Yi was hinting that someone was watching him and needed his cooperation.
Chu Lan thought for a moment and then smiled, "Brother Zhou, you've stumped me. I'm just a small inner sect disciple. How could I possibly know anything about the ancient cultivators? Not to mention me, I'm afraid even my ancestors wouldn't know the answer to any of the questions."
“…I’m surrounded by my own people.”
As soon as Zhou Yi finished speaking, everyone around him stopped what they were doing and looked at Chu Lan in unison.
Chu Lan's mouth twitched slightly, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
It took him a long time to act.
Zhou Yi's face was full of disgust.
He is not mentally retarded. He made an appointment to meet Chu Lan when he was being followed. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
"I won't beat around the bush. Li Lin's progress is a bit slow, and I can't make some moves, so I arranged for the ancient monks to sow discord. Now Li Lin has left the barracks and come to Sui Han Island in hiding as I thought. He should know about the beast's blood essence by now."
Chu Lan was stunned, thinking, you are here to show off.
Chu Lan changed to a more comfortable sitting position and said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? I have already met with the ancestors of Sui Han Sect and Zhong Nan Sect. On the day when the blood of the fierce beast comes out, they will try to lead the ancestor Huan Tian to the Jiu Yin Land."
"When the three parties are fighting, there will be a large number of cultivators for Li Lin to refine and improve his cultivation."
"Now... Li Lin should have realized this possibility. If he had any ambition, he would have set his sights on Huantian, Zhongnan, and Suihan."
By the end of his speech, Chu Lan's nose was almost up to the sky. Of course, Chu Lan did not forget to glance at Zhou Yi out of the corner of his eye, thinking that Zhou Yi would show a jealous expression.
You know, instigating aristocratic dukes and commoner dukes to cause internal strife in Dayu's power system is a major plan prepared by some super sects!
If they can stand out among them, they will all be reborn!
Zhou Yi's operation of using a forged noble marquis to commission an ancient monk to kill Li Lin and force Li Lin to leave the barracks was indeed a good one, but it was far less beneficial than if he had directly given Li Lin three upgrade gift packs, namely Huantian, Zhongnan and Sui Han!
But what Chu Lan didn't expect was that Zhou Yi not only didn't show any jealous expression, but also looked like he was suppressing his anger.
This made Chu Lan a little confused.
"Recently, there have been some other troubles," Zhou Yi said, suppressing his anger. "Some generals of the Dayu Expeditionary Army were attacked by ancient cultivators! From the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul! The Dayu Expeditionary Army has turned its attention to the ancient cultivators!"
Chu Lan understood what Zhou Yi was angry about, and his face changed immediately. "Do you think we want to eliminate you, so we deliberately arranged for people to disguise as ancient monks to attack Dayu's expeditionary army? "
"Isn't it?" Seeing that Chu Lan was still playing dumb, Zhou Yi also got angry.
He had arranged everything well, from the middle stage of foundation building to the great perfection, and then to the false pill stage.
He fed it to Li Lin layer by layer, and as a result, he heard that the Dayu Expeditionary Force was attacked by ancient monks. Then, the people he arranged were almost captured by the Dayu Expeditionary Force.
Zhou Yi naturally considered the possibility that the people he arranged were caught, but it is better to be safe than sorry! He is afraid! Yuanluo Zong is also afraid!
Dayu knew that the Taoist sect must be behind this, but he had no evidence.
If he was caught with evidence, the lightest scenario would be that he would be sacrificed by the Yuanluo Sect.
"Zhou Yi! Stop your nonsense! There are already ancient cultivators in Meizhou who are attacking the Great Yu cultivators. They took advantage of the expeditionary army's unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack..."
Chu Lan's voice became smaller and smaller, and he gradually lost confidence.
Zhou Yi then sneered, "Tell me, how can an ancient cultivator who only dares to attack Jindan stage dare to attack the Dayu expeditionary army guarded by two Half-step Transcendence Saints?"
"This matter has nothing to do with us. You are asking the wrong person."
Chu Lan left with a flick of his sleeves, and no one in the teahouse tried to stop him.
After leaving the teahouse, Chu Lan wanted to find his informant to inquire about the situation, but before he flew far, he was blocked by a carriage.
Chu Lan secretly cursed in his heart and clasped his hands together, "Princess Leng, what do you want?"
"Of course I came to ask you what you want to do? Why are those ancient monks attacking Dayu's expeditionary army? Could it be... that they really want to drag me down with them?"
Leng Ningshuang's voice was weak, but it was chilling.
Chu Lan felt a toothache. "Princess Leng, you are wrongly accusing me. Why should I... uh..."
As Chu Lan spoke, his voice became softer and he lost confidence.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that they really have a reason to drag condensation frost into this.
Leng Ningshuang's father, Leng Shanhe, is the prime minister of Dayu, a truly powerful minister, but the contemporary Emperor Yu is the most powerful Emperor Yu in history, with unfathomable cultivation. Leng Shanhe seems to be able to do whatever he wants in the court and give orders to his ministers, but in fact he is walking on thin ice.
If word gets out that Leng Ningshuang has colluded with the sect monks and ordered the ancient monks to attack Dayu's expeditionary force, Leng Shanhe will be completely at a disadvantage. If he doesn't want to see that happen, Leng Shanhe can only bind himself to the Taoist sect until the Taoist sect achieves its goal.
This is not only simpler than allowing Li Lin, the son of Marquis Bahuang, to develop, but it is also more effective.
"…But I didn't do that. Doesn't that show my sincerity?"
"Really? Do you think I believe that?"
Chu Lan wanted to explain, but the carriage had already turned around.
Chu Lan also felt aggrieved. Although he did have reasons to trick Leng Ningshuang after careful consideration, the matter also involved Yuanluo Sect. What benefit would he get if he ruined Yuanluo Sect's affairs in order to trick Leng Ningshuang?
But there is definitely something wrong.
First of all, we must rule out the possibility that Dayu directed and acted the drama himself. Dayu is very proud, so why would he attack himself for no reason?
Secondly, exclude ancient monks.
The more Chu Lan thought about it, the more his head hurt.
"Hmph - my heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror! If I didn't do it, then I didn't do it! The rumors will naturally fall apart!"
But just a few days later, news came that a team of Dayu was attacked and all members were missing.
And the one who did it was none other than the ancient monk!
After struggling between the possibility that he might have a second personality and the possibility that someone with higher authority than him had intervened in the matter, Chu Lan chose to contact his superior elders.
Faced with Chu Lan's question, the elder of Haoqi Sect hesitated for a long time and did not say whether he had arranged other operations. He just revealed another piece of information.
"We found out something not long ago. Yuanluo Sect seems to have reached an agreement with Mr. Shen. Tianxu Tower is going to build a branch building for Yuanluo Sect to purchase Tianxu Tower's products on its behalf."
"If the Deyuanluo Sect succeeds, it will have a chance to become a super sect."
Chu Lan was completely dumbfounded.
There really is a reason why Yinyuan fell from the sect!
The elder of Haoqi Sect also mentioned us, but we are definitely not referring to the elders of Haoqi Sect.
"...How about planning to drag Leng Shanhe into this?"
