Red Rock Castle.
In the middle of the dark and cold hall, a stove burned bright red. Even demons could not endure the climate of Red Rock Mountain Range. The charcoal suddenly flickered, sending up a plume of dust that drifted into the air. A demon general's nose itched and he could not help but sneeze. In this atmosphere where a pin drop could be heard, it was like a clap of thunder. Then, his head exploded like a watermelon.
Everyone kept quiet out of fear, not daring to breathe loudly. In this hall, the only one who had the ability and power to kill demons was naturally Li Hongzhuang, who sat at the head of the table. This was not the first demon she had killed. In fact, along the way, she had already executed dozens of demon generals. Yet even with such cruel methods, traitors continued to appear. The clear-minded demons knew what was going on.
Li Hongzhuang said slowly, "Tell me, what do you all think? Don't worry, if you say it, you won't die, but if you don't say it … "
"Commander-in-chief, this subordinate thinks that we should mobilize more troops from the Demon World …"
"This subordinate thinks that the humans have just occupied Red Rock City, and many of their arrangements are not perfect. We can take advantage of the night to attack!"
"This subordinate thinks that we can invite Yan Shifang out to fight to the death!" This was a ghost general.
"This subordinate thinks that … as long as we kill Yan Shifang, we can solve all the problems …"
"This subordinate …"
"Stop!" Li Hongzhuang suddenly waved her hand, her expression extremely gloomy as she stared at the demon general who had spoken. "Pan Feng, what did you just say?"
"This subordinate didn't, didn't say anything …" The demon general called Pan Feng looked very young and panicked when he heard this.
Without any warning, Li Hong Zhuang stretched out a hand. With a light flick of her slender, jade-like hand, a powerful force shot out, knocking Pan Feng to the back of his chair. He tumbled several times before coming to a stop.
Pan Feng's face was pale as he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy. "Commander-in-chief, spare me … this subordinate will not speak carelessly again, spare me!"
"Repeat what you just said!" Li Hongzhuang said coldly.
"This subordinate will no longer …"
"Will you say it or not?"
"This subordinate thinks that … as long as we kill Yan Shifang, we can solve all the problems …"
To everyone's surprise, the ice on Li Hong Zhuang's face gradually melted. She said with a smile, "That's right! Wouldn't he be able to get Chiyou back if he killed that little thief Yan? Your suggestion is very good. I like it very much. If this matter succeeds, you will have done a great service. "
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief. Thank you, Commander-in-Chief …" Pan Feng didn't expect to get a blessing in disguise and immediately felt relieved.
Li Hongzhuang continued, "The two of you have been listening for so long, shouldn't you vent your anger now?"
The demons and ghosts looked at each other, not knowing who she was referring to.
Two people suddenly walked in from outside the door. It was Guan Xiaolong and Xu Longxiang. The two of them looked at each other and nodded, saying in unison, "We also think that killing Yan Shifang is the only way to break out of this situation!"
Li Hong Zhuang said hatefully, "Fine, I want that bastard Yan to die a horrible death! Since we've reached a consensus, let's each come up with an idea and see whose is better. "
The demons immediately fought to contribute. Unfortunately, these uncouth fellows only knew how to charge and break through enemy lines. They were not good at scheming and were all rejected by Li Hong Zhuang. It was still Pan Feng who stammered, "I have an idea. Would you like to hear it, Commander-in-Chief?"
"Speak." Li Hong Zhuang naturally wanted to hear it.
Pan Feng thought for a while and said, "Actually, we really don't need to fight Yan Shifang head-on. The human race isn't united. According to what I know, Yan Shifang is at odds with a Dao Court Elder. Why don't we bribe him and trick him into a secluded place, then ambush and kill him? "
Li Hong Zhuang asked, "What's that person's name?"
Pan Feng said, "I think he's called Yuan Qianquan."
Li Hong Zhuang asked, "Are you confident that you can bribe him?"
Pan Feng said, "Yuan Qianquan is an ambitious person and has been coveting the position of First Seat of the Big Dipper Palace for a long time. That's why he has been fighting us on the frontlines all year round in order to make a great contribution. I think that as long as we bait him a little, he will definitely take the bait. "
Li Hong Zhuang pondered for a while and said, "Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. The sooner the better!"
"Understood!" Pan Feng agreed and immediately went to do it.
Li Hong Zhuang then said to Guan and Xu Longxiang, "You two quickly return and convince the Five Elements Sect and Mu Yun Sect to send troops. This time, we must tear that Yan Shifang to pieces to appease the hatred in my heart!"
On the way back, Xu Longxiang was very excited at the thought of this moment he had been waiting for, but he was also worried. "Brother Guan, are you confident that you can convince them to send troops?"
Guan Xiaolong said confidently, "This small matter is not difficult for me. I'm only worried that Pan Feng will ruin things."
Xu Longxiang said, "That's not a problem."
Guan Xiaolong said, "Oh?"
Xu Longxiang said, "If that Pan Feng can't do it, at most the plan will fail, and your identity won't be exposed. I think the key is that if it succeeds, we must be extremely careful when we surround and kill that Yan Shifang … "
Guan Xiaolong thought deeply and said, "You've reminded me. His current strength is astonishing, and we both have a deep grudge against him. When the time comes, it's best that we don't show ourselves, lest we die with him."
"Exactly." Xu Longxiang immediately laughed. Of course he wanted to kill Yan Li with his own hands, but unfortunately, his strength did not allow it. It was better to sit back and reap the benefits.
When the two of them returned to the temporary camp, it just so happens that Zhu Rong sent someone to look for them. Guan Xiaolong instructed Xu Longxiang to hide well and went to Zhu Rong's tent. He saw him drinking with Guan Jingneng. After greeting him, he said, "Shizun is looking for me urgently, what is it for?"
Zhu Rong sighed and said, "That Yan brat is probably in cahoots with the Demon Crown Prince and has taken advantage of the fight for the throne. Seeing that the bet is about to be completed, your Martial Uncle Guan came to find me to discuss the plan. What do you think? "
Guan Xiaolong's heart skipped a beat. He had thought that he would have to spend a lot of effort to convince Guan Jingneng, but he did not expect that Guan Jingneng would be able to lay the groundwork. "Disciple believes that Yan Shifang must not be allowed to complete the bet. Otherwise, he will be able to relax and cultivate in seclusion. After three to five years, who can stop him? If we want to avenge our sect, we must do it now! "
Zhu Rong said, "Master thinks so too. But how? Our two sects cannot make a move openly. Otherwise, we will give them a handle, and Five Elements Sect will vanish in an instant. "
Guan Xiaolong thought for a moment and said, "Disciple has sent spies to the Demon Race. I heard that they want to bribe the people around Yan Li, and then lure him to a dangerous place to surround and kill him. Master, disciple believes that this is a rare opportunity. If Yan Shifang falls for it, we can also go to that dangerous place and seize the opportunity to capture Yan Shifang and force him to tell us the whereabouts of the Heaven of Linglong. After that, we can sacrifice our fellow sect members. "
Guan Jingneng said, "But what about those demons? They will not show us mercy just because we dealt with Yan Shifang. "
Guan Xiaolong smiled as he took up a jar of wine and filled the cups of his two elders. Only then did he say, "Li Xueyi is no fool. Once she captures Yan Shifang, she will immediately attack Red Rock City. Thus, she will not offend two experts of the Divine Domain for no reason. Moreover, she is certain that we will not help defend Red Rock City. "
"Why is that?" Guan Jingneng recalled the contents of the letter and felt that every step had been premeditated, causing his heart to tremble.
Guan Xiaolong confidently said, "Because by dealing with Yan Shifang, we are standing against the Nine Great Confucian orthodoxy. This is a betrayal. Not only will we not help defend Red Rock City, we will also rush back to Juzhang overnight and wipe away all traces of our visit to Chiyou. By dealing with us, Li Xueyi is helping the Nine Great clean house. If she was such a stupid person, how could she have regained power after six years? "
Although these last words were unpleasant to hear, Zhu Rong understood Guan Xiaolong's meaning. He nodded, deeply feeling that taking in this disciple was well worth it. He said to Guan Jingneng, "Brother Guan, do you think this matter is feasible?"
Guan Jingneng's heart was still trembling, like he was watching prey think of ways to crawl into a trap. "In my view, this matter is feasible."
Zhu Rong finally made up his mind. Raising his cup of wine, he said to Guan Jingneng, "This being the case, if we can avenge this blood feud, I will never forget the Muyun Sect's assistance!"
"That's easy."
With this discussion concluded, something unexpected happened at Pan Feng's place. He had met with Ye Qiuchi in a secluded cave and had already made up his mind, prepared to display his strength in bribing Elder Dao Xuan. Unexpectedly, Ye Qiuchi had smiled and said that there was no need.
Greatly puzzled, Pan Feng couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, didn't you tell me to bring up this idea to the Commander-in-Chief? Why is there no need?"
Ye Qiuchi smiled, "General Pan, if a person knows too much, it will inevitably attract the calamity of death. You are my confidant, I do not wish for anything to happen to you. Do you understand what I mean? "
Pan Feng's whole body trembled, he lowered his head, "I understand, I understand. Whatever Your Highness says, this subordinate will do."
"Very good," Ye Qiuchi said, "You only need to tell my shijie the time and place."
"He really understands?" After Pan Feng left, Lu Suxue slowly walked out from the shadows of the cave.
Ye Qiuchi said, "He doesn't need to understand, he only needs to carry out my will."
Lu Suxue said, "Then how is he different from a mindless puppet?"
Ye Qiuchi said, "Some people only have the value of a puppet."
Lu Suxue faintly said, "Then what about me?"
Ye Qiuchi reached out and pulled Lu Suxue into his arms, slowly caressing her from her back to the nape of her neck, and then moving up. Suddenly, he violently grabbed her hair, catching her off guard and causing her to fall backwards, face up, only able to see the bats on the ceiling of the cave.
"You asking such a question, it shows that you are becoming more and more stupid!" In the darkness, he showed a cruel expression, "Are you afraid? Afraid that my shijie will risk her life to drag you down to hell? "
"I'm not!" Lu Suxue said in horror.
Ye Qiuchi roared almost hysterically, "Then why did you ask such a question? Why are you making things difficult for me? "
Lu Suxue panted, shouting loudly, "I just don't understand, if you didn't bribe Yuan Qianquan, how did you make Yan Li fall into your trap! Also, what is your real plan? I only want to know these, I'm afraid that you won't tell me, and treat me like Pan Feng … "The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she became, towards the end, there was already a crying tone, and when she finished speaking, she could not stop sobbing.
