The Xiao Clan's Plot
Chao Ming Zhu was only a hundred miles away from the White Sky Beast King's island. There were tens of thousands of birds here, and their cries could be heard from dozens of miles away. Even the sound of the waves was suppressed.
A young cultivator wearing a golden crown and a loose robe sat on a rainbow. He was like an old man fishing, watching the ebb and flow of the tide with a calm expression.
This person was the Xiao Clan's most outstanding disciple of this generation, Xiao Han.
He had received the Xiao Clan's secret technique and was nurtured by the clan. He wasn't even twenty-five years old yet, but he was already at the third level of the Mystic Light Realm, far surpassing his peers.
If he could successfully condense his core before the age of thirty, he would have the confidence to open a sect outside of the sect like Su Yihong after returning.
However, when he thought of this, a person's name flashed through his mind. This person's cultivation wasn't as high as his, but he was already in control of a cave. Furthermore, the clan had pushed him out to fight with this person, which made him unhappy. He thought to himself, "That Zhang Yan was born a commoner, and when he opened his meridians, he was only at the low-grade Mist Phase. If it wasn't for Enlightened Master Sun giving him the Billowing Cloud Secret Manual, he probably wouldn't even have reached the Mystic Light Phase. He just happened to learn some sword techniques and bully the disciples of those low-grade clans. What's so great about him? What right does someone like him have to be mentioned in the same breath as me? Yet, the clan views him as a great enemy. What a joke. "
At this moment, a golden rainbow flew over from the sky and arrived in the blink of an eye. It turned into a cloud of white mist and slowly descended. When the mist dissipated, a middle-aged daoist with purple eyebrows and black robes appeared. He had a ferocious expression on his face.
When he saw Xiao Han, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with joy: "Jiulang, it is just as you expected. With Lu Rong's help, Yifu easily broke through the restriction on Lu Island and entered the Inner Court. Now, he has Lu Meiniang locked in a secret chamber. In another three to five days, he will be able to take her down. I don't think she will be able to cause any more trouble."
Xiao Han seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. He gently patted his knee and smiled, "In that case, we can rest easy."
Three months ago, they brought along a letter from Yan Zhengting to pay a visit to White Sky Demon King Lu Meiniang, stating that they requested for the Four Marquises Water.
After reading the letter, Lu Meiniang was courteous and readily agreed. Her tone even hinted that she wanted to rely on the Xiao clan.
However, she did not expect that after only a month, Yan Zhengting would send another letter, saying that Zhang Yan was also coming to get the Four Marquis Water. He also said that the Dong Hua continent was about to face a calamity, and that overseas might not be a paradise, so they needed to find a way out early. He urged her to make careful arrangements.
After Lu Meiniang read the letter, she was a little hesitant, but she hadn't made a final decision on who to lean towards.
This matter was supposed to be a secret, but Lu Meiniang's daughter, Lu Rong, admired Xiao Han and secretly told him about it.
Xiao Han knew that he couldn't just sit and wait, so he decided to make the first move. He first asked Lu Rong about the various restrictions on the island, and then he asked an accompanying elder of the Yuanying realm to directly enter the inner court, forcing Lu Meiniang to stay in the inner chamber and cut off contact with the outside world. In an instant, the situation on Egret Island was under his control.
Zi Mei Taoist also admired Xiao Han's decisiveness at that time. If Lu Meiniang really chose to join the Qincang School, it would definitely be disadvantageous to them.
Once the formation on the island was activated, even with the help of the Yuanying realm cultivator, it would be extremely passive. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel angry and said, "Why did Jiulang keep Lu Meiniang alive? If Yifu didn't listen to you and wanted to capture her alive, he wouldn't need to waste time at all. He could kill her with a flip of his palm. At that time, this black mountain that can produce the Four Marquises Water would fall into the hands of the Xiao clan. Wouldn't that save a lot of trouble? "
Xiao Han smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "After all, the foundation of the Xiao clan is still in the Qincang School. The land of the East Sea is full of demons and fierce beasts. It's not a place to stay for long. If we rashly intervene, I'm afraid it will arouse the fear of the other demon kings. At that time, it won't be easy to clean up the mess."
Even though the Eighteen Demon Kings of the East Sea lived in different places, they also supported each other. When there were foreign enemies, they often helped each other. If they killed White Sky Demon King just for the Four Marquises Water, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance and hostility of the other great demons. At that time, if one or two of them were provoked, it would not be worth it.
Purple Eyebrows Taoist snorted coldly and said, "She got off lightly."
Xiao Han smiled and said, "Brother Qiao, this Lu Meiniang is Yan Zhengting's wife after all. The Yan clan and our Xiao clan are also considered to be on good terms. This time, thanks to Yan Zhengting's guidance, we can come here to find the Four Marquises Water. For his sake, let Lu Meiniang go this time. There will always be opportunities to meet in the future, and we can also leave a way out for each other."
Hearing this, Purple Eyebrows Taoist became angry again and said, "Yan Zhengting? Hmph, if it weren't for his letter, Jiulang, you could easily wait for the Four Marquises Water to appear. Why do we need to do this? "
Xiao Han's eyes revealed a playful look and said, "How can I not see through Yan Zhengting's thoughts? He is playing both sides. He doesn't want to offend our Xiao clan on the surface, but he wants to secretly curry favor with the master and disciple lineage. A letter forced his demon wife to offend us, but he himself is clean. He is really an old fox. Fortunately, this Lu Meiniang has been practicing overseas for a long time, so she is not shrewd and does not guard against her own family. Her daughter leaked the information, so we can preemptively strike. "
Purple Eyebrows Taoist said with disdain, "This Lu Meiniang's daughter is really stupid. She even fantasizes about marrying into the Xiao clan. She didn't think that the Xiao clan is a famous clan with thousands of years of inheritance. Why would they marry a demon woman like her?"
Xiao Han smiled indifferently and said, "If this trip is successful, I can reluctantly accept her as a concubine."
Purple Eyebrows Taoist thought for a moment and said, "That Zhang Yan seems to be coming here soon. How are you going to deal with him, Jiulang?"
A trace of killing intent flashed in Xiao Han's eyes, and he said in a cold voice, "Such a good opportunity is a gift from heaven. Of course, we will get rid of it!"
Purple Eyebrows Taoist suddenly became excited, rubbing his hands and said, "Jiulang, do you want me to do it? I heard that this Zhang Yan is a sword cultivator. Not only did he break the Four Symbols God Killing Formation, but he also defeated many true disciples of the Six Rivers and Four Islands. I want to meet him. "
Hearing this, Xiao Han's face turned ugly. He snorted coldly, "This Zhang Yan merely relied on the sharpness of the Dark North Heavenly Sword to break through the Four Beasts Formation. If it were anyone else with that sword, they would be able to do the same. As for the Six Rivers and Four Islands, they are just disciples of some inferior clans. How can they be compared with the disciples of our Xiao clan? Don't you think you will lose your identity if you go? "
Purple Eyebrows Taoist said in surprise, "Then what is Jiulang going to do?"
Xiao Han showed an expression of wisdom. He laughed lowly and said, "Didn't Lu Meiniang's brother, Lu Junbai, say that he has the intention to join our Xiao clan? When fourth uncle went to the island, I have already sent a message to him and ordered him to come in time. After all, he is also a Core Formation cultivator. Can't he deal with a mere Zhang Yan? "
Purple Eyebrows Taoist was stunned at first, then he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Wonderful, Jiulang's method is appropriate. In this way, as long as he kills this Zhang Yan, this Lu Meiniang can only stand on the side of our Xiao clan no matter how unwilling she is. How can Yan Zhengting explain it clearly? In the future, when the great calamity comes, there will be no way out except to join our family. "
Xiao Han nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean. When the great calamity comes, no one can say what will happen. This overseas land can't be abandoned lightly. After subduing Lu Meiniang, we can keep it as a secret chess piece."
Purple Eyebrows Taoist was about to speak, but suddenly looked up and saw a conveyance light flying through the clouds. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Jiulang, I'm afraid that Lu Junbai is here."
The conveyance light sank down and landed in front of the two. A Taoist with a plump figure walked out. He stepped forward and cupped his hands to the two, saying, "I am late, please forgive me."
If Zhang Yan was next to him, he would definitely recognize this person as the short and fat Taoist who kidnapped Yan Zhenhua at the birthday banquet of Beichen Sect's Elder Yan that day. But now there was a little anxiety in his eyes, not as bright as before.
Xiao Han looked at him and said coldly, "Fellow Taoist Lu, you are late by an hour. You must have gone to inquire about the news. Why, do you know what happened on the island?"
The short and fat Taoist sighed, bowed deeply, and said, "About my sister, I hope fellow Taoist can forgive me."
Xiao Han stared at him and said, "Of course, but now that the end of the year is approaching, I think that Zhang Yan will come here soon to get the water of the Four Marquises. So I would like to ask fellow Taoist to go and greet him on our behalf."
Lu Junbai hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Since fellow Taoist Xiao thinks highly of I, I will go and make sure you are satisfied."
Xiao Han didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth curved up, and he said, "What are you going to do?"
Lu Junbai said expressionlessly, "On this Donghai, it is common for a few people to die."
Xiao Han nodded with satisfaction, waved his sleeves, and said, "Well, you go, I will wait for the good news here."
Lu Junbai bowed, and then without saying a word, he rode the conveyance light and rushed into the clouds, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Purple Eyebrows Taoist smiled at Xiao Han and said, "Jiulang, in this trip to the East Sea, not only did you get the water of the Four Marquises, but you also got rid of Zhang Yan, a thorn in your side. When you go back, the clan should reward you."
Xiao Han snorted coldly and said, "I have never taken Zhang Yan seriously. If it is Zhuang Bufan, Luo Qingyu, it is still reasonable. Only those timid old men in the clan worry about this and that all day long."
Purple Eyebrows Taoist got a little closer and whispered, "I heard that this time, foster father came here not only to escort Jiulang, but also for another matter? I wonder if you can tell me about it? "
Xiao Han glanced at him, smiled, and said, "Brother is not an outsider, there is no harm in telling you.
Fourth Uncle came to Donghai this time not because of me, but to meet the appointment of Nanhua Sect's Elder Lin, Elder Qiu, and Taihao School's Elder Ye. This time, the four Yuanying Zhenren came together to take down the abandoned disciple of Nanhua Sect, Tao Zhenhong. "
When Purple Eyebrows Taoist heard this, his eyes flashed, and he rubbed his palms and said, "With four Yuanying Zhenren coming together to take down people, it will be earth-shattering. At that time, I will definitely ask foster father to take me there to see it!"
