Chapter 173 The Scheme in the Central Court



"Who are these two?" Ma Guangzhi sensed that the newcomers were not ordinary people.

Li Yun didn't look like an ordinary person. Although he was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, when Li Yun touched him with his divine sense, he felt as if he had encountered a cultivator of the same realm.

This means that this person has a solid foundation, and even if his level is not as high as his, he may not be inferior to him in a real fight.

“These are my senior brothers and sisters,” Chen Yi explained.

"Oh! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Ma Guangzhi wisely refrained from digging deeper and instead turned his gaze to Song Xin.

Upon closer inspection, he indeed noticed a problem.

"Her soul left her body?"

Seeing that Ma Guangzhi had discerned the truth with just a glance, Li Yun thought that this trip was definitely worthwhile.

When ordinary people see Song Xin, they only assume that she is sick or something, and they cannot see the deeper problems at all.

But who exactly is Ma Guangzhi?

In the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, there are probably very few who can openly cultivate soul banners and remain unscathed without being labeled as heretics.

“Senior Ma, I have come here to help my beloved resolve a spiritual issue,” Li Yun said sincerely.

Ma Guangzhi gestured for them to sit down, poured them some tea, and then asked, "I have guessed a thing or two, but I need to hear the details from you before I can make a judgment."

Seeing this, Li Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least she wasn't turned away.

Only Chen Yi knew that Ma Xiao knew there was something to gain, and given his personality, how could he easily let it go?

Immediately afterwards, Li Yun informed Ma Guangzhi about Song Xin's situation.

The latter sipped his tea, his face showing deep thought.

"Soul fusion, soul fusion..."

As he spoke, he rubbed his fingers together in front of the coffee table.

Chen Yi understood Ma Xiao's thoughts perfectly well, and he quickly gave Li Yun a wink.

The latter understood immediately and placed a bag of spirit stones on the coffee table, leaving the bag open towards Ma Xiao, with a few spirit stones sliding onto the table.

Ma Guangzhi's eyes lit up. "High-grade spirit stones? Here's the solution!"

These are high-quality spirit stones that he rarely gets his hands on; a single one is worth 100,000 yuan. This small bag probably contains dozens of them...

A smile involuntarily spread across Li Yun's face.

He didn't dislike people like Ma Xiao, because such people are often quite pure.

They only want benefits; they do things for money, that's all they care about!

Besides, a few million is nothing to him; in his eyes, it's not even worth a few thousand contribution points.

To save Song Xin, he was willing to give up not just a few thousand contribution points, but tens of thousands...

"That soul should have been brought, right?" Ma Guangzhi asked, looking at the two of them.

Li Yun nodded and then took out a magical artifact.

This magical artifact looks like a tablecloth, but inside it is a shrunken soul.

This soul is half Song Xin and half a strange woman.

Ma Guangzhi personally sensed the strength of this soul and made an assessment.

Then, he summoned his soul banner.

The spirit banner fluttered and swayed in the office without any wind, billowing black smoke...

"My method is to infuse this soul into my soul banner. Once she's inside, I have plenty of ways to cure her!" Ma Guangzhi said with a strange grin.

Li Yun looked at Chen Yi with some skepticism.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yi's lips also twitched.

After all, Principal Ma's smile really looked too much like that of a heretical cultivator!

Ma Guangzhi seemed to realize that his smile was somewhat misleading, and quickly said, "Ahem! Don't worry, since I've taken your money, it means I'm confident."

"If you're worried, we can draw up a contract. If it doesn't work out, I'll return half the spirit stones and just take a small fee as a favor, how about that?"

Chen Yi nodded to Li Yun, "I'll vouch for you."

Li Yun already trusted Chen Yi quite a bit, so he simply agreed.

Soon, the two parties concluded a contract.

Song Xin and the Lord of the Cave Heaven's souls were thrown into the Soul Banner by Ma Guangzhi.

Logically speaking, the soul of the master of the cave should never allow himself to enter that soul banner.

Unfortunately, her soul had been injured by the Yin Fire of the Earth, and she had also been suppressed by Li Yun's master in the Hidden Moon Sect. She was still somewhat confused and unable to resist, so she was sent into the Soul Banner.

Ma Guangzhi's method was also very simple and brutal: he directly pressured her to work continuously, while having the soul cultivation students inside bully her.

Once the Lord of the Cave Heaven's soul shows a flaw, he can directly separate it and preserve Song Xin's soul.

“This process may take a few days. If you wish, you can stay at the school during these days, but the living conditions may be somewhat basic,” Ma Guangzhi suggested.

Anyway, there are plenty of empty rooms and dormitories at Xiande Middle School.

After all, that beast tide took too many lives...

Li Yun agreed without hesitation.

All he wants to do now is stay here and wait for Song Xin's soul to return.

"Tomorrow is the Immortal Examination, so you can all experience the atmosphere together."

Ma Guangzhi was actually speaking to Chen Yi.

He knew that not being able to participate in the immortal examination was perhaps Chen Yi's regret.

Having already joined a major sect, he didn't need to refer to it, but getting a feel for the atmosphere was still quite nice.

Chen Yi smiled slightly and asked Principal Ma a question.

"What happened to the Stone Demon Lord after the beast tide ended?"

Unexpectedly, Ma Guangzhi's face darkened instantly upon hearing this question.

He set up a soundproof barrier around them before speaking, "Alas! That stone demon hasn't received the punishment it deserves..."

"What?" Chen Yi's pupils contracted slightly.

He unconsciously tightened his grip on the teacup, causing the tea to swirl.

“I heard it from an old friend who works in the central courtyard,” Ma Guangzhi said, his eyes filled with resentment, “but the stone demon was indeed not punished.”

How could he not understand Chen Yi's feelings?

That stone demon cooperated with the thieves of the Thief Heaven Sect to put on a show, indiscriminately killing innocent people and causing countless families in Xiande to be destroyed overnight.

Chen Yi forced himself to calm down and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly do they want to do?"

Ma Guangzhi shook his head, and said meaningfully:

"All I know is that in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, only a few dozen Golden Core cultivators serving in the Central Court possess the highest rank. The remaining hundreds of Golden Core cultivators are all of low rank. But there are also tens of thousands of Pseudo-Golden Core cultivators who are unable to enter the path of Golden Core."

Chen Yi instantly understood what Principal Ma meant.

He suspected that Master Baimu and his group of high-ranking Golden Core cultivators coveted the Thief Heaven Sect's method of transforming the fake into the real, and wanted to turn all the fake Golden Core cultivators in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom into real Golden Core cultivators...

“If a cultivation nation possesses such a number of Golden Core cultivators, it can be considered a powerful nation, but it is ultimately only a level 3 cultivation nation,” Li Yun said at the opportune moment.

After all, the one who truly suppressed the Crimson Dragon Kingdom was that Nascent Soul cultivator from the Hidden Moon Sect.

The Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Hidden Moon Sect borrowed the Jueyin Yin lineage's fruition to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. He no longer needed the fruition and could therefore unleash the power of laws outside the Hidden Moon Sect.

Even with dozens of Dao Fruit Golden Core cultivators in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom's central courtyard, they are no match for that Nascent Soul ancestor...

However, he paused and then said, "Unless... the group in the Central Court aims to create a Nascent Soul True Monarch! These Golden Core cultivators without a rank are just consumables."

Upon hearing this, both Chen Yi and Ma Guangzhi felt a chill run down their spines.

If the central courtyard is indeed plotting this...

Rebellion! This is a real rebellion!
