Late at night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. There were fewer people on the streets.
A white-clothed young master waved a fan and strolled leisurely on the streets under the protection of five attendants.
Gradually, the group arrived at the edge of the western district.
The white-clothed young master went up to the seventh floor of a restaurant under the guidance of his attendants. He chose a room by the window and sat down. He drank wine while admiring the moonlight.
"Lord, this is already the best seat," Wu Huan said softly.
"Yes, it's not bad."
Lin Xuan, who was dressed in white, stood by the window with a cup of wine in his hand. He looked down at the night sky of the small city with a deep gaze.
Actually, there was nothing much to see outside.
The western district of Red Rock City was mostly listed as a military area by the Thunder Lion Army. No one was allowed to enter for any reason. Anyone who violated this rule would be killed without mercy.
The western district was now a large military camp. Not only was there a hundred thousand Thunder Lion Army soldiers stationed there, there was also a large alchemy base in the middle of the camp.
Looking from afar, the middle area was filled with smoke and was brightly lit. It was a bustling scene that was very different from other places.
The alchemy base was surrounded by densely packed military tents and groups of patrolling soldiers. The security was tight and murderous.
After observing for a moment, Lin Xuan secretly racked his brains to come up with a plan.
The hundred thousand Thunder Lion Army soldiers were not just for show. Moreover, Yu Guangqi had recruited tens of thousands of martial arts experts.
Perhaps their only chance would be seven days later when Yu Guangqi led the army to attack the Scarlet Mountain.
However, there was still a moral issue.
Yu Guangqi was attacking the foreign races in the name of righteousness. If the Magic Lotus Sect attacked the main camp of the Thunder Lion Army at this time, it would be no different from putting themselves on the opposite side of the entire human race. This would be very detrimental to their future development.
Being wanted by the imperial court was not a big problem in the current Northern Wilderness. However, if they were accused of colluding with foreign races, it would be difficult for them to achieve anything in the future.
Lin Xuan frowned slightly and felt a little troubled.
"Let's go back."
He drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
One person's plan was short, but many people's plan was long.
He couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, but his subordinates weren't incompetent either.
Just as Lin Xuan was about to turn around and leave, suddenly, under the distant moonlight, a faint shadow streaked across the sky and landed on the cornice of a six-story building like a feather.
That figure was extremely faint. If one did not pay close attention to it, it would be extremely easy to overlook it.
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly as he quietly locked onto that figure. That person's Qing Gong was extraordinary as he leaped onto roofs and vaulted over walls. He circled around the periphery of the Thunder Lion Army's camp at a rapid speed before quickly disappearing into the shadows.
"Master, should we follow them and investigate?" Wu Huan asked.
"No need. Let's go."
Lin Xuan turned and left.
At this moment, his expression was somewhat gloomy.
Although it was not close, he had already recognized the figure. It was actually one of the two people who fought with Lian Shisan during the day, the girl.
"Could it be that the Chaos Temple is also interested in the Blood Vitality Pill?"
Back at the temporary stronghold.
Lin Xuan ordered people to prepare a large table of food and wine. He summoned all the higher-ups of the Magic Lotus Sect from the Magic Lotus Seal's space to eat and drink while discussing important matters.
First, Wu Huan explained the situation to everyone, especially the matter of the alchemy base. He explained it in great detail, and everyone was greatly moved after hearing it.
Dun Fei put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Lin Xuan, no matter what, this alchemy base must be controlled by us! Once we take down Heaven Song City, it will definitely become a great weapon for us to dominate the Northern Wilderness in the future! "
Yan Hui also said with a hopeful expression, "That's right! Yu Guangqi only opened the exchange of Blood Vitality Pills and easily tied hundreds of sects to his war chariot. In just a few days, he has already recruited tens of thousands of scattered guards. This is too terrifying. "
Lin Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Of course I know the importance of this alchemy base. However, how to do it is a problem. If we want to take down the alchemy base, the best time is seven days later when the Thunder Lion Army departs to attack the Blood Flood Dragon Tribe.
However, if we make a move at that time, I'm afraid we will be seen as a hindrance to the Thunder Lion Army. If Yu Guangqi loses, they will definitely push the blame to us. Perhaps we will become traitors to the human race in the eyes of the world. I'm afraid the gains will not make up for the losses. "
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Jing Lan sneered and said, "What's so difficult about that? Yu Guangqi is attacking the Blood Flood Dragon Tribe not for the sake of the human race's orthodoxy, but for the Great Yin Dynasty's treasure! As long as we secretly spread this matter, Yu Guangqi's righteousness will be greatly reduced. If we make a move again, we won't become the human race's public enemy. "
"This method is feasible, but it's still not enough," Lin Xuan said.
Dun Fei pondered and said, "Lin Xuan, perhaps you are overcomplicating things.
We are now wanted criminals by the imperial court, and we are already at odds with the imperial court's army. Taking resources from the Thunder Lion Army is simply a matter of course. What does it have to do with fighting against the foreign races?
Moreover, have you ever thought that if the Thunder Lion Army defeats the Blood Flood Dragon Tribe and takes over Heaven Song City, we will still have to fight against the Thunder Lion Army if we want to take over Heaven Song City? At that time, we will still be in the wrong.
Since this is the case, why do we need to think so much? Choosing the best time and holding the things we want firmly in our hands is the most important.
As for making a name for ourselves in the future, we only need to kill more foreign races and make a name for ourselves on the Noble List. It won't be difficult to clear our names. The most important thing is that the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit! "
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, and a trace of determination flashed across his face. He smiled and said, "Dun Fei is right. Just based on the fact that I, Lin Xuan, am the first on the Noble List, who dares to say that I am a traitor to the human race?
Next, all of us will do our best to prepare. The alchemy base and the Scarlet Sky Mountain are ours! No matter who dares to stand in our way, we must crush them! "
He looked at Wu Huan and ordered, "Wu Huan, you must investigate the person in charge of the alchemy base, the person who controls the Blood Vitality Pill formula, and the owner of the Dao Grade alchemy furnace!
In addition, you must investigate the strength of the Thunder Lion Army's camp seven days later, so that we don't fail miserably. "
"Understood! I will do it now! "
Wu Huan accepted the order and left.
Mu Jianfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Xuan. He wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he sighed helplessly and remained silent.
In his opinion, at this time, the human race shouldn't kill each other. It was more important to work together to fight against the foreign races.
However, he also knew that this was just his own wishful thinking. Even if Lin Xuan didn't scheme against others, others wouldn't let him go.
This had nothing to do with right or wrong. It was only about benefits.
To put it bluntly, no one was a good person.
Fighting against the foreign races was just a matter of convenience. Their real purpose was to seize benefits and plunder resources.
Wu Huan had just left for a while when he came back.
"Wu Huan, what happened?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.
Wu Huan hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, Miss Yin's three junior sisters have been captured by Yu Guangqi. They are now hanging at the city gate. It is said that they will be beheaded three days later."
"Hmm?"
