Huncheng Sect, Concealed Light Palace, First Hall.
Yang Poyu stood on the palace platform with his hands behind his back, looking at the colorful scenery at the bottom of the lake through a translucent jade wall.
Not long after, a large green carp attracted his gaze, and he couldn't help but frown, seeming to be very displeased as he muttered to himself, "Even the Northern Underworld Fish Demons have come here?"
With a light wave of his sleeve, a mass of lifeless gray fog suddenly rose from the bottom of the lake, churning and stirring.
After a while, the fog gradually dispersed. Not only the big green carp, but also the tens of thousands of creatures in the lake had disappeared, leaving only dead silence and sand.
Only then did a satisfied expression appear on his face.
A few knocking sounds came from the cave, but he didn't move. He tilted his head and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter outside?"
A disciple in charge outside said, "Spiritual Master Yang, Martial Uncle Xue is here, saying he has something important to report."
Yang Poyu said, "Tell him to come in."
After a while, a Daoist with a jade-like face, bright eyes, and thin eyebrows came from outside. He came to the bottom of the jade steps and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Senior Martial Brother Yang."
Yang Poyu glanced at him and said, "What's the matter?"
Daoist Xue looked slightly worried, and said, "Senior Martial Brother, Shi Hanshan and his wife have built more than ten altars on the surface. I'm afraid that if this continues, Yuan Yang Sect will have the upper hand."
Fenglai Mountain's location happened to be sandwiched between two spirit caves, one fake and one real, and was considered close to Yuan Yang Sect.
Shi Hanshan's altars were built towards the west, because Taihao Sect and Nanhua Sect were keeping an eye on the eastern spirit cave, so they didn't pay attention to it for the time being. But now, they had unintentionally set their sights on this real cave.
Yuan Yang Sect, in terms of manpower and materials, couldn't be compared to those small sects that depended on Qincang School, so their progress in building altars was quite fast.
Yang Poyu had already noticed it before he started, and said, "Shi Hanshan is following Zhang Yan's example, trying to force us to come out and fight him. So that he can take our heads to the sect and ask for rewards. "
Priest Xue asked nervously, "Then what should we do?"
Yang Poyu acted as if nothing had happened and said, "There's no need to panic. After a few days, when they relax, we can find a way to eliminate them."
Daoist Xue suddenly panicked, waved his hand and said, "Senior Brother, you can't do that! Wouldn't that be following the Yuan Yang Sect's plan? Didn't you see Feng Qingping of the Blood Soul Sect lose his life just like that …? "
Yang Poyu's eyes suddenly turned cold. I, Yang Poyu, am not Feng Qingping, and Shi Hanshan is not that Zhang Yan. "He said," Junior Brother Xue, don't try to mix things up.
Daoist Xue felt a chill run down his spine when he was stared at by Yang Kai's cold and merciless eyes. He could barely stand. He knew that a few elders had been forced to be dismembered and reincarnated because of their incompetence. This Senior Brother of his could not tolerate anyone going against him in the slightest, otherwise, the outcome would definitely not be good. Thus, he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes, yes, Senior Brother is right. This little brother has misspoken."
Yang Poyu was expressionless. He said, "You may leave."
Daoist Xue wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and retreated, trembling with fear.
Yang Poyu casually picked up a Jade Talisman from the table, threw it to the bottom of the stairs, and said, "Xue Pingxia is afraid before the battle has even begun. It's embarrassing for him to bear such a great responsibility. I order him to help the Bone Yin Sect guard the Void acupoint."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of chilly wind suddenly blew in the hall. Amidst the whistling sound, an indiscernible shadow flew across the hall and swept away the talisman. In just a few breaths, it disappeared again, as if it had never appeared.
Yang Poyu stood still, his eyes narrowed. No one knew what he was thinking. After a long while, he stood up, walked to an altar behind him, and lit a tall incense stick himself. As the green smoke rose, Daoist Master Huan's figure gradually appeared.
He bowed and said, "This disciple is in a hurry to see Daoist Master. Please forgive me if I disturbed you."
Daoist Master Huan looked down and said slowly, "Is it because of the Yuan Yang Sect's altar?"
Yang Poyu nodded and said, "Yes. Shi Hanshan is a sinister person. If we let him go on like this, how can we compete with the Yuan Yang Sect in the future? In my humble opinion, it's best to get rid of him as soon as possible. "
Daoist Master Huan said, "It's not difficult for you to see that this person is doing this to lure our disciples out."
Yang Poyu said, "This disciple has also thought of this, but in my opinion, Shi Hanshan thinks too highly of himself. The reason why Zhang Yan could use this strategy was because he was the number one in the Eighteen Sword Duels. Among his peers, there were few who could rival him. Even Feng Qingping, who was defeated, had never thought of fighting him. But Shi Hanshan and his wife are different. They have only been in the third layer of the Yuanying realm for thirty years. If their eldest disciple, Qiao Zhengdao, was here, he might have to be more cautious. But these two are still weak, and I believe I can easily take them down."
Daoist Master Huan said, "Have you ever thought that even if you take care of these two, it will not solve the root of the problem? The Yuan Yang Sect has many disciples and can still send people here. What will you do then?"
Yang Poyu cupped his hands and said, "Therefore, disciple has a plan. If Daoist Master Huan approves, it can help our Huncheng Sect pass this round easily."
Daoist Master Huan was slightly surprised and said, "Tell me about it."
Yang Poyu's eyes flickered and he unconsciously lowered his voice. "Daoist Master, we can leak the news that the Spirit Cave in the north is real and find a way to let Taihao, Nanhua, and Yuan Yang Sects know about it. But they won't be in the mood to fight with me here. They will only gather their forces to the north and compete with Qincang for the chance to suppress the Spirit Cave."
Even with Daoist Master Huan's shrewdness, his expression changed slightly.
If the Spirit Cave was broken, one could obtain an Origin Furnace Pill Jade. This item was not very useful to the three great sects, but to the other seven profound sects, it was a rare treasure. Thus, if they did this, it was extremely likely that they would succeed.
But the strength of the Profound Sects was there and did not decrease at all. If the pressure on Huncheng Sect lessened, it meant that the Xueshuo Sect had to bear more.
This plan could be said to be benefiting oneself at the expense of others. If someone else said this, he would have shouted.
But Yang Poyu was different. This time, Huncheng Sect decided to use the Spirit Cave to form a cave. They would soon become fellow Daoists, so he was especially tolerant of his words.
Seeing that Daoist Master Huan was silent, Yang Poyu added, "Although the three Profound Sects are restrained, our Huncheng, Bone Yin, and Yuan Yang Sects will have to face the seven Profound Sects. It will be hard for us to resist. But if this plan succeeds, not only can we sow discord among the Profound Sects, it can also reduce the pressure on me. Now, the situation outside can be solved without a fight."
Zhenren Huan said in a low voice, "If this is done, there will be suspicion of harming fellow Daoists. It cannot be done in private and cannot be hidden from the Zhenrens of the other sects."
Yang Poyu said, "I did not say that I want to hide it. Although the six sects are not one, we are united. With my current strength, it is difficult to protect two Spirit Caves at the same time. Although my plan may cause the fellow Daoists of the Xueshuo Sect to suffer some losses, it can at least protect one Spirit Cave. Zhenren Huan, please understand."
Zhenren Huan's heart moved. He had previously probed Wen Qingxiang and it seemed that he was not willing to defend the Spirit Cave. If Huncheng Sect paid a price, it seemed that it could be done.
With a solemn expression, he warned, "This is a serious matter. I still need to discuss with the sects. As for the expulsion of Hanshan and his wife, you can do it first."
At this point, his expression became slightly stern and he warned, "Before I return, do not do it in private. Do you understand?"
Yang Poyu lowered his head and bowed, "I dare not."
Zhenren Huan grunted and his figure dissipated in the smoke.
After Yang Poyu respectfully sent him away, he stepped forward and extinguished the incense. Then, a murderous look appeared in his eyes. He stepped forward and turned into a gray smoke, leaping to the surface.
The Huncheng Sect was located in Dong Hua. Although its main gate was hidden deep underground, it could not avoid fighting with many Xuanmen sects in the continent. The sects in the sect were best at escaping and had good ears and eyes. Therefore, after thousands of battles, they did not fall into a disadvantageous position. It could be said that they were familiar with the cultivation methods and Divine Sense of each sect. He believed that if he fought seriously, he could easily defeat any one of Shi Hanshan and his wife. But if he fought against the couple together, it would be a little more troublesome, especially the Life Killing Sword of the Yuan Yang Sect.
What was more troublesome was that Fenglai Mountain was not far from the mountain gate of Yuan Yang Sect, and there were more than ten altars erected around it Just Now. Even if he defeated them, he could either hide in the altars or retreat to the mountain gate. But he had recently learned a Divine Sense, which was the Great Spiritual Gate Method from ten thousand years ago. He was confident that if he fought against the couple, he would have a sixty percent chance of winning.
After he left the mountain gate, he did not come out from the front. Instead, he went along the underground river tunnel and made a big circle before reaching the surface.
When he saw the sun, he used one of the three escape techniques of the Devil's Doctrine, the "Nine Wounding Smoke Escape Technique". His body turned invisible and flew to Fenglai Mountain like a wisp of smoke.
An hour later, he was hundreds of miles away from Fenglai Mountain. He did not go forward, but landed on a mound and used the "Thousand-mile Alluring Sound" and the "Nine Nether Candle" to carefully investigate the situation in front of him.
After a while, he frowned. At this moment, in Fenglai Mountain, besides the disciples of Yuan Yang Sect, there were many more people who looked like disciples of Taihao Sect and Nanhua Sect.
Seeing this, the killing intent in his heart increased. The killing intent in his heart grew stronger. However, Yuan Yang Sect alone was not easy to deal with. If Taihao Sect and Nan Hua Sect joined them, it would be much more difficult to deal with them.
He raised his hand, wanting to summon all the people in Huncheng Sect who had the same cultivation method as him and kill all the disciples of the three sects here. However, he slowly put down his hand halfway through his action.
"There are not many disciples of these two sects. It seems that they are not here to build the altar. I'm afraid they are here to discuss business, just like the three sects of Xuanmen last time. They will probably go back. Why don't I wait for them to leave before I start?"
He shook his sleeves, sat cross-legged on the mountain, and waited patiently.
The sky gradually darkened. When night fell, two rays of light flew out from Fenglai Mountain. One was riding a gourd, the other was riding a demon bird. Both of them flew eastward and soon disappeared into the boundless night.
Yang Poyu's eyes lit up. He suddenly stood up, and then his body disappeared with the wind like a wisp of smoke. When he reappeared, he was already on the top of the mountain. After appearing and disappearing dozens of times, he was already at the foot of Fenglai Mountain.
