In recent years, the news of the return of the Yuanying cultivator from Chiyang School, Yi Tian, had gradually spread throughout Dong Ao. The source of the news was the birthday banquet of Iron Sword Sect's Patriarch, Mo Wen Tian. Other than the Patriarchs of the six sects, there were also some reputable Yuanying loose cultivators in Dong Ao, as well as the City Lord of Fanxing City.
Everyone present had personally witnessed the rise of the Scarlet Sun Sect's Yi Tian. Although everyone had a tacit understanding, they all secretly strengthened their defenses. The sudden appearance of such an ordinary person in Dong Ao was not a good thing for the rest of the people.
In addition, Iron Sword Sect's deliberate retreat caused everyone to re-evaluate the overall strength of Chiyang School. Even if they did not become enemies with him, they still had to maintain a neutral relationship with him.
However, they did not expect that after the birthday banquet, Yi Tian did not expand his influence on a large scale after returning to Chiyang School. In general, Dong Ao was still in a state of balance governed by the six sects, at least on the surface.
Seven years later, in the forbidden White Bone Cave behind the White Bone Gate, two Yuanying cultivators sat facing each other. In front of them was a gilded greeting card. The handwriting on the card was neat and elegant, but its charm was extraordinary. It should be the handwriting of a lady from a noble family.
The meaning between the lines was also very simple. It was nothing more than a daughter-in-law who had married far away wanting to visit her parents. White Bone Demon glanced at the greeting card and saw the names of the two people at the end. "Unfilial daughter Liu Piaopao and husband, Yi Tian." Everyone knew that a hundred years ago, the marriage alliance between Corpse School and White Bone Gate was ruined by Yi Tian. At that time, it was really a slap in the face for both sects. Because of this, Corpse School's Yin Liuxing even lost his life. White Bone Gate's Nan Cangtian fled back to his sect in a panic after suffering some losses.
Later, when Chiyang School sent someone to deliver the wedding invitation, only Liu Yue attended the ceremony in her personal capacity. In the following hundred years, the two families did not have much contact.
Now that he received the invitation from Chiyang School, the first thing Nan Cangtian did was to look for his senior brother White Bone Demon to discuss this matter. One must know that ever since Liu Piaopao married into Chiyang School, the entire White Bone Gate was ashamed of it. Everyone in the sect kept their mouths shut about this matter, and Liu Yue, who was directly implicated, had no choice but to step down from her position in the sect and begin to cultivate in seclusion, not caring about worldly affairs.
Because of this, the White Bone Gate withdrew all the preferential treatment for the Liu Family disciples and treated them as ordinary disciples.
Now that Yi Tian made a strong comeback and even wanted to bring his wife Liu Piaopao back to visit White Bone Demon, if they knew about the Liu Family's situation in the past hundred years, they would not have a good time.
White Bone Demon was also present on the day of the Iron Sword Elder's birthday celebration. He personally witnessed Yi Tian taking three of Mo Wen Tian's attacks in the Iron Sword Gate's main hall with ease.
If their positions had been swapped, Mo Wen Tian believed that he would not have been able to do what he did. Furthermore, Mo Wen Tian had the intention to test Yi Tian's abilities. Those three moves were not held back at all.
Seeing White Bone Demon's brows furrowed as he stared at the invitation, Nan Cangtian could only break the silence first, "Senior brother, what do you think we should do now?"
White Bone Demon replied expressionlessly, "Do what you need to do. If she wants to visit her family, let her come. Inform Liu Yue to come out of seclusion and wait at Liu Family Manor. "
Nan Cangtian shook his head and said, "Senior brother, there's no need to let your emotions affect your decisions. From what I see, it's better to do this with great fanfare."
"Why?" White Bone Demon did not understand.
"The sect's spies in Chiyang School have been uprooted long ago, but they still have eyes and ears in Xuan Ling Sect. According to the news they sent back, the three southern sects were originally one family. Senior brother, do you know who the direct disciple of the sect leader is? "Nan Cangtian explained with deep meaning.
White Bone Demon did not even think before blurting out, "Could it be that Chiyang School?"
"Yes, it's said that Chiyang School's current sect leader, Yang Yanzi, has been in frequent contact with Iron Sword and Xuan Ling Sect these few years. From what I see, Chiyang School's goal is not small. If this Yi Tian really succeeds, then the southern part of Dong Ao will have to listen to him in the future, "Nan Cangtian replied.
White Bone Demon carefully savored these words before sighing, "Right now, Chiyang School's rise is inevitable. As long as they don't interfere with our White Bone Demon's well water, we don't need to curry favor with them."
Nan Cangtian saw this and felt anxious. His senior brother's cultivation was high and he was good at fighting and killing, but he was not shrewd enough.
From the feedback from various parties, it was not hard to see that Chiyang School clearly came prepared this time. It was very appropriate for them to first try peaceful means before resorting to force. If they followed White Bone Demon's wishes and gave up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, then the losses would outweigh the gains.
He immediately said, "Senior brother, I think this matter is very promising. The unification of the three sects in the south is inevitable. There are only two paths in front of us. One is to ally with Corpse School and Medicine Valley to form a north-south confrontation. The other is to use Liu Yue as a key link to establish a relationship with Chiyang School, then tie the benefits together and advance and retreat together."
White Bone Demon frowned and said, "Then what about the Corpse School? We still have an alliance agreement. Also, can you guarantee that the kid from Chiyang School will be willing to form an alliance with us and split the benefits equally?"
"Corpse School's Fu Kecheng has been missing for the past few years. It's said that even his life oil lamp has been extinguished. This matter is not known to the outside world. But the time of his death matches the time of Yi Tian's return to Dong Ao. Senior brother, don't you think this is some kind of coincidence? "Nan Cangtian said.
"Maybe Fu Kecheng met with something unexpected while he was traveling outside." White Bone Demon continued with a doubtful expression, "Do you have concrete evidence to prove that it was that kid who did it?"
Nan Cangtian nodded and replied, "I don't have concrete evidence, but the news from Corpse School said that Fu Kecheng was guarding the sect at that time. A Jin Dan disciple saw him fly out of the sect and chased after someone. A few days later, his life oil lamp suddenly extinguished. I think that the person he was chasing is most likely that Chi Yang kid. "
White Bone Demon's expression changed several times. Nan Cangtian knew that his senior brother was very conflicted and did not know what to do.
Just as he was about to say something more shocking, White Bone Demon suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly. Then, he said, "Send a message to Liu Yue. Tell him to come out of seclusion and resume his position as an elder in the sect. Every year, his offerings will be increased by 30%. Call back all the Foundation Establishment disciples of the Liu Family and arrange for them to choose from the corresponding blessed land in the sect. We must not let them have any animosity towards the sect. "
Nan Cangtian replied with satisfaction, "Senior brother is wise. I have interacted with that Chi Yang kid before. Although his cultivation is strong, he is also a person with a temperament. As long as we have the Liu Family in our hands, we can send messages through Liu Yue and Liu Piaopao. With this pillow talk, I believe that our White Bone Gate will be able to maintain its position in Dong Ao for another thousand years. "
