The Anying Hall was the underground power of the Jiuhua Alliance. They roamed all over the Celestial Sword Continent, not just in the territories of the other five great sects, but even in the territory of the Jiuhua Alliance itself. If any of the fourth-rank sects under the Jiuhua Alliance's rule made a move, the Jiuhua Alliance would immediately notice. Apart from that, they were also responsible for removing the hidden sentries that the other fifth-rank sects had set up in the Jiuhua Alliance. This was a confrontation between the two underground powers.
As for the Dark Shadow Society, they were sent out to infiltrate other fifth-rank sects. They were responsible for gathering intelligence and infiltrating their enemies. The Alliance of Jiuhua treated the Dark Shadow Society very well. Of course, they were also very dangerous. If they were discovered, it would be difficult to escape. So, loyalty was the number one priority in joining the Dark Shadow Society. Every one of them was a deathsworn. Even if they were captured, they wouldn't be uprooted.
Lu Xuan cupped his hands and said, "So it is Hallmaster Yi. My apologies for not recognizing you. I hope that you will assist us in this mission."
"You praise me too much, Emissary. We have already received our orders. This time, we will listen to your every command. Everyone in the Anying Hall will do their best," Yi Yong said solemnly.
Lu Xuan nodded lightly. "Hallmaster Yi, please give me a detailed explanation of the current situation in the Holy Hall of Eight Directions. Although I have some understanding, I am not very clear."
"Yes, Emissary." Yi Yong cupped his hands and said, "We are now in the Flaming Forest, within the boundaries of Crimson Flame City. Crimson Flame City was originally controlled by the Nangong family. Ever since the Nangong family was expelled by the Sikong family, Crimson Flame City has been temporarily controlled by the Fang family of the Holy Hall of Eight Directions."
Lu Xuan's mind raced. He remembered the Fang family of the Holy Hall of Eight Directions. Back in the Sealed Lands, he had met a member of the Fang family called Fang Siyuan. If he remembered correctly, the Fang family was also skilled in fire techniques. Unfortunately, Fang Siyuan was completely suppressed by Huo Li, and in the end, he was killed by Lu Xuan's attack.
Now that the Nangong family had been expelled, the Fang family, who were also skilled in fire techniques, benefited the most. Many of the Nangong family's spoils of war belonged to them, and even Crimson Flame City was under their control. The Nangong family had spent a great deal of effort to make Crimson Flame City a city suitable for fire techniques. Now, the Fang family had benefited.
Yi Yong continued, "Ever since the Fang family took Crimson Fang family, to prevent the Nangong family from attacking. Crimson Hall of the Nangong family has sent a few experts to protect Crimson Flame City. The Nangong family's Clan Crimson Fang family didn 'have Crimson City. The Fang family Crimson Hall. Clan Fang Continent Crimson Palace
Lu Xuan said, "I'm not here for Crimson Flame City, but Heaven Saint City. Hall Master Yi, why don't you introduce Heaven Saint City to me?"
Yi Yong smiled and said, "You may not know this, but although Crimson Flame City is controlled by the Fang family, it's still the Nangong family's headquarters that they've been running for countless years. They're not in complete control yet. Furthermore, the Nangong family left some important things in Crimson Flame City. They've been trying to take them back."
"I think we'll need the Nangong family's help this time. Although the Nangong family promised to help you, they may not go all out. If they screw up at a critical moment, they may ruin your plan. But if you can help them solve the trouble in Crimson Flame City, the Nangong family will definitely help you."
Lu Xuan looked Yi Yong up and down seriously this time. He didn't expect Yi Yong to be so thoughtful. Indeed, although Ye Wuhen said that the Nangong family would help him to a certain extent, to a certain extent, the Nangong family's full help would be greatly reduced. Unless there was a way for the Nangong family to help him, Lu Xuan didn't dare to trust the Nangong family's power too much.
"I'd like to hear Hall Master Yi's opinion." Lu Xuan didn't put on airs. Yi Yong had been here for a long time and was far more familiar with the situation than Lu Xuan. Since Yi Yong put forward this idea, there must be a feasible way.
"The place where the Nangong family lived in Crimson Flame City was called Crimson Flame Palace. The Crimson Flame Palace contained the inheritance of the Nangong family for many years. At that time, the Nangong family evacuated in a hurry and didn't have time to take away all the things in the Crimson Flame Palace. They just sealed it in a very tight secret room so that they could get it back in the future."
"It's a pity that the Nangong family doesn't have the ability to break into Crimson Flame City, let alone go to the Crimson Flame Palace to get the inheritance. The Fang family also cultivates the Fire Method. They covet the inheritance of the Nangong family and are reluctant to destroy the Crimson Flame Palace. Now they are trying to break the inhibition left by the Nangong family and try to enter the secret room to get the inheritance."
Lu Xuan nodded. He understood the situation now. The Nangong family wanted to return to the Crimson Flame Palace and take away the inheritance. The Fang family, on the other hand, wanted to break the inhibition left by the Nangong family and take the inheritance for themselves.
"So, if we can help the Nangong family take back the inheritance, they will be grateful to us and attack with all their strength." Lu Xuan said.
Yi Yong shook his head. "You're only half right. Not only do we need to take the inheritance, but we also need to control it. It's best if we can send it back to the Jiuhua Alliance. If the inheritance falls into the Nangong family's hands, we can't guarantee that they won't burn the bridge after crossing the river."
Lu Xuan had a whole new level of respect for Yi Yong. Yi Yong was much more thoughtful than he was. Seeing Lu Xuan's eyes, Yi Yong smiled and said, "I've embarrassed myself in front of you. But in this environment, we have to be careful. That's why I always assume the worst of people and then respond accordingly. This way, no matter how bad the result is, it's still within my range of preparation."
Lu Xuan admired Yi Yong even more after hearing what Yi Yong said. It was not hard to imagine that Yi Yong and the others did not have it easy, and they rarely had a moment to relax. At the very least, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest in front of others. If they were seen through by others, they would be dead for sure.
Lu Xuan didn't dwell on the matter any longer. He furrowed his brows and said, "It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do. The Nangong family must have tried to enter the Crimson Flame Palace and take away the inheritance more than once. But since they didn't do it, it's not that easy. Even if we do everything we can, I'm afraid our brothers will die. I'm afraid it won't be worth it. I don't want to see too many of our brothers die."
Yi Yong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Special Envoy. Actually, every single member of the Dark Shadow Hall is like a brother to me. Naturally, I won't send them to their deaths. Since I've brought up this idea, there's definitely a possibility that it can be carried out. Special Envoy might not know this, but although my true identity is the Hall Master of the Dark Shadow Hall, in the land of the Eight Cardinal Temple, my identity is that of an external elder of the Fang family."
Lu Xuan could not help but be shocked when he heard that. Yi Yong's undercover was so successful? He's already an external elder of the Fang family?!
