After Dongdan Fuji, Zhou Zhaolong, and the others returned, they all gathered in the courtyard rented by the Dongdan family to discuss matters.
Originally, everyone was thinking about how to tell Yun Yao and the elders of the Pill Sect about that matter after they went to the Pill Sect, and how much benefit they could get from the Pill Sect by relying on this matter.
Dong Dan Jinghong suddenly interjected, "With this leverage in our hands, why would we need to go to the Pill Sect? Yun Yao should be the one coming to see us."
Everyone, including Dongdan Fuji, was stunned for a moment, thinking that Dongdan Jinghong's idea was a bit far-fetched.
Dong Danfuji, in particular, found it quite perplexing:
Young Master is not usually such a reckless and frivolous person, so why is he acting and speaking so carelessly during this trip to the Pill Sect?
Zhou Zhaolong said directly, "Young Master Dongdan, I'm afraid this won't work. Not to mention that Yun Yao is currently trying to become a Pill Saint, even with her status as the next Pill Sect Master, it's impossible for her to condescend to come down the mountain to see us in person. Our two family heads haven't even arrived yet."
“If she doesn’t come, we’ll reveal some of the things we have to hold against her, forcing her to come down the mountain to see us.” A sinister and longing glint flashed in Dong Dan Jinghong’s eyes, and the smile on her lips became somewhat ferocious: “Once she comes down the mountain, she will have no say in anything and will be at our mercy; whatever you want to take from Dan Sect will be a piece of cake.”
"Jinghong, what... what do you mean by this? You wouldn't be thinking of..." Dongdan Fuji was shocked.
Zhou Zhaolong and the rest of the Zhou family were stunned.
They wanted to use this as leverage to blackmail the Pill Sect and keep exchanging it for maximum benefits, but they never thought of controlling Yun Yao!
No matter what, Yun Yao is the next sect leader of the Pill Sect. She will take over as sect leader as soon as she succeeds in her attempt to become a Pill Saint.
Dong Dan Jinghong actually wanted to control her?!
Are you crazy?!
"Elder, this is also my father's intention. I just arrived a few days ago and forgot to tell you for a moment," Dongdan Jinghong said calmly and gently to Dongdan Fuji. "If you don't believe me, ask the Second Elder."
With a serious expression, Dong Danfu nodded to Dong Danfu and the Zhou family members, saying, "Young Master Jinghong is right. This is indeed the intention of the family head and... With such explosive evidence in our hands, we are not afraid that Yun Yao will not submit. The family head thinks this is entirely feasible."
"Feasible? That's controlling and kidnapping the sect leader of the Dan Sect. Do you think that's feasible?" Zhou Zhaolong's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
“Fellow Daoist Jinghong, this matter is probably a bit risky. The Pill Sect is not an ordinary small family. If the Pill Sect gives an order, even our Zhou family and your Dong Dan family combined may not be able to resist.” Zhou Bo’s expression was also very unpleasant.
Dongdan Jinghong looked at Zhou Bo, smiled meaningfully, and shook her head, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, anyone can say that, but you..."
Zhou Zhaolong and most of the Zhou family members looked at Zhou Bo with confusion, wondering what Dong Dan Jinghong meant by those words.
Zhou Bo gripped the armrests of the seat tightly with both hands, his face instantly turning even uglier. He wanted to get angry but held back.
Seeing that Zhou Bo remained silent, Zhou Zhaolong frowned. He felt that the consequences of this matter were too serious and that he could not go along with Zhou Bo's wishes. So he stood up and said, "Fellow Daoists of the Dongdan family, if you are determined to do this, our Zhou family is weak and powerless, so we will not participate. Farewell."
After saying that, he called for the Zhou family members to leave, without specifically calling Zhou Bo.
Zhou Bo hesitated for a moment, then stood up and silently bowed to Dong Dan Jinghong before hurriedly chasing after Zhou Zhaolong and leaving.
