"Uncle-Master praises me too much. May I know why you are here? " Guan Xiaolong went to stand behind Zhu Rong. He had a premonition that something was going to happen. Because he was reliable, Zhu Rong relied on him a lot. Whenever something big was difficult, Zhu Rong would ask him to come and listen.
Guan Jingneng said, "Brother Zhu should have heard about the bet between Yan Shifang and Supreme Banshan."
"I have." Zhu Rong said, "Unfortunately, I was on the battlefield and couldn't see it."
Guan Jingneng nodded, "Brother Zhu can't have no idea."
Guan Xiaolong saw the hesitation on Zhu Rong's face and immediately said, "Martial Uncle Guan, from Martial Nephew's point of view, this bet is a bit unreasonable. The Confucian orthodoxy coalition and Supreme Banshan forced the Court of Sword to hand over the culprit. Would they dare to say no? "
Guan Jingneng sighed, "The problem is that they dare. Besides, Yan Li made a great contribution at that time. If they immediately used it to block the disaster, what would the world think? Even if it was for the face of Confucian orthodoxy, they had no choice but to resist. Supreme Banshan understood very well that if the two sides clashed, it would only make the demons clap their hands. Let's not talk about Supreme Banshan's attitude for now. Let's talk about what will happen if Yan Shifang completes the bet. "
Zhu Rong said, "What will happen?"
Guan Jingneng narrowed his eyes, "Five Elements Sect is in danger!"
"Oh?" Zhu Rong also narrowed his eyes, "Brother Guan didn't just come to warn us, right?"
Everyone knew that there was righteousness in the martial world, and naturally, there was profit above all. Guan Jingneng belonged to the latter, there was no doubt about it.
Guan Jingneng smiled, "Naturally for Mu Yun Sect. In the early years, my disciple was blind and offended Shen Liuyun. Later, I heard that she was Yan Shifang's aunt. How could I not guard against his revenge? "
"That's it?" Zhu Rong said.
Guan Jingneng said, "Of course not. Brother Zhu, what is the situation now? "
Zhu Rong said, "A tripartite confrontation."
Guan Jingneng said, "Talking to smart people is really easy. Brother Zhu, think about it. Given the current situation, if Yan Shifang really takes back Chiyou, the Wilderness God Temple will definitely be guarded by Chiyou. At that time, who will manage the hunting grounds in Juzhang? Brother Zhu should know that with the strength of the Five Elements Sect and the Muyun Sect, they can't take care of the entire Juzhang Region. At that time, before Yan Shifang comes to take revenge, just dealing with the Hunting Ground alone is enough to put us in a terrible situation. "
Zhu Rong didn't say anything, but he agreed with it in his heart. From the way he clenched his fists so tightly that the blue veins popped up, it was obvious that he was in pain and helpless about the current situation. In the past, the Five Elements Court had been one of the Nine Great Confucian Orthodoxy Schools. Their might had dominated the entire region, and every city was in good order. Wherever they went, people would flatter them. How glorious was that? Although he was now a Sect Master, a second-rate Sect Master was probably not even comparable to a Deacon of the Confucian Orthodoxy. If the first part of Guan Jingneng's words had gradually made him want to take the initiative, then the latter part only strengthened his resolve.
"In addition, although Yan Shifang publicly burned the supreme techniques of the Five Elements Court, who knows if they were real or fake?" Guan Jingneng used the most enticing tone to continue his persuasion. "Does Yan Shifang think that he has too many supreme techniques? And besides, the Heaven of Linglong is still in his hands. If we capture him and take back the Heaven of Linglong, perhaps your supreme techniques are still stored there … "
Zhu Rong's greatest helplessness was that he didn't have the ability to restore the supreme techniques in their original form. After all, he didn't have the talent of the founder, and cultivating to the Divine Domain had already used up all his potential. If he could restore the supreme techniques in their original form, no one would dare say that the Five Elements Sect was a second-rate sect, and his name would go down in history. But he still cautiously asked, "But we still belong to the righteous path. Now that he wants to take back all of Chiyou's territory, there are countless eyes in the Three Realms watching him. If we publicly retaliate, wouldn't we become the target of gossip?"
Guan Jingneng smiled. "Ah, my Brother Zhu, back in the Heavenly Capital, you were so decisive. I didn't think that after only a few years on the throne, you'd become so steady. We naturally can't do this openly. Our goal is to make Yan Shifang lose the bet and push him against Confucian orthodoxy, so there's no harm in disguising ourselves as demons, burning his provisions and interfering with his rear, so that he'll be exhausted from dealing with them. Once the three months are up, as long as one of Chiyou's cities is in the hands of the demons, what awaits him will naturally be eternal damnation. "
When Guan Xiaolong heard this, his mind jolted. Wasn't this like someone delivering a pillow just as he was about to doze off? As long as Master agreed, not only could he deal with Yan Shifang, but he could also complete the task given to him by the Tower Master. It was simply the best of both worlds!
Zhu Rong looked at Guan Xiaolong hesitantly. Guan Xiaolong thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Uncle Master Guan is always thinking about the Five Elements Sect. I'm really touched. But I wonder, if we capture Yan Shifang, how will we repay him?"
Guan Jingneng immediately understood. "The Heaven of Linglong is your ancestral treasure. How would I dare to touch it? I just want some secret strategies from Swallow Dock. Also, the Muyun Sect needs to support a lot of people, so the more money, the better."
When Guan Xiaolong heard this, he nodded at Zhu Rong vaguely. Zhu Rong thought for a while and realized that he had no way out. He immediately made a decision and said, "Alright, then it's settled. After this is done, we'll definitely not treat the Muyun Sect badly!"
"It's a pleasure working with you." Guan Jingneng smiled.
Guan Xiaolong, who was always vigilant in times of peace, was overjoyed, but he faintly felt that things were progressing a little too smoothly.
… …
The sky in the Demon Realm was still dark and gloomy, and White Emperor City rarely saw snow fall. The Demonic Palace was vast and empty, not even the wind stirring. The steps leading to the Demonic Hall had been swept clean by the palace servants, as well as the old dust. The newly accumulated dust could not conceal the fine lines left behind by years of frost. It was dry and cold, like the growth rings on a dead tree that had lost its vitality.
As if in remembrance of her suffering in the Evil Prison, Li Hongzhuang still wore a tattered blood-red dress, but no matter what kind of dress she wore, she had an indescribable charm, like a raging flame burning in the bleakness of the world. She wore a pair of flat, vermillion embroidered shoes with a raised toe. Step by step, she slowly climbed the steps. In the past, no matter what she did, she did not like to be slow, but now she had changed. Only by slowing her steps could she hear the sounds that she had previously been unable to hear, and only then could she feel the changes in time.
The entrance to the Demonic Hall was much livelier. Ye Qiuchi sensed that Li Hongzhuang was looking at him, but it also seemed like she wasn't. With mixed feelings, he called out, "Senior Sister."
Li Hongzhuang gave an enchanting smile and walked over.
"Tower Master!" the current Tower Master of the Blood-clothed Tower, Lu Suxue, suddenly called out. Li Hongzhuang stopped and turned her head to look at her. She said bitterly, "I, I've been waiting for you to come back!" Li Hongzhuang smiled and walked over, straightening her clothes for her. "The Tower Master has the Tower Master's appearance. You look even more beautiful in women's clothes. Don't appear in public in this outfit again."
"Yes, yes!" Lu Suxue said excitedly, but she quickly shot a fearful glance at Ye Qiuchi.
