The Gaoshan people knew very well that they couldn't do anything openly. They didn't have the power to do so! Regardless of whether it was the Xuanyuan Sword Sect or the power behind Shang Shang!
However, they had to do something. Otherwise, they would either be destroyed by the Xuanyuan Sword Sect or be controlled by the power of Dharma cultivators!
How could they deal with this? When a mountain goat was attacked by a tiger and a black bear, the best solution was to let the tiger and the black bear fight first!
They would also pay the price. The price was that among the hundreds of Daoist children they sent out over the past decade, there were indeed about ten who eventually entered the Xuanyuan Sword Sect. However, this wasn't an unbearable pain!
The Gaoshan people didn't want to infiltrate anyone's inner circle, nor did they want to enter a sect. Most importantly, they also wanted to make public the intention of the Gaoshan people's Daoist children entering the main cultivation world at a certain time to obtain the forgiveness of the cultivation world of the Western Regions.
Now, they were just moving the process forward.
They also had some understanding of the Western Regions. They knew that although the Xuanyuan Sword Sect was domineering here, this sect was amenable to coaxing but not coercion. If they confessed everything, the punishment might not be too severe. At most, the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Gaoshan people would be expelled from the sect. It was very likely that the punishment wouldn't be so severe.
This was the reason why she appeared here and exposed the secret of Ru Song Dojo to the cultivators guarding Xuanyuan. In her plan, no Xuanyuan disciple would let go of such an important clue. Then, naturally, the Daoist children would be recalled and screened. The Gaoshan children would be easily identified. Then, their true purpose would be revealed: the two real spies from the Dharma cultivator sect …
The Gaoshan cultivators couldn't find out the origins of these two spies, but that didn't mean that a power like Xuanyuan couldn't find out either. Then, it became a competition between the tiger and the black bear …
What did the Gaoshan people gain here?
Xuanyuan's possible forgiveness, the withdrawal of the Dharma cultivator's claws, and the official entry of the Gaoshan people into the main cultivation world of the Western Regions!
It was a brilliant plan to kill three birds with one stone! Naturally, there wasn't even a trace of a hatchet! Once the plan was proposed, it immediately received the approval of the higher-ups of the Gaoshan cultivators, who assigned her to complete this seemingly simple task.
What was so difficult about passing a message?
But he didn't think that this sentence would be so difficult to say! There was only one reason — no Swordsman was normal!
The first person they came into contact with was Lou Xiaoyi's predecessor, the Light Valley Daoist. She had to admit that Daoist Guang Gu was an extremely dutiful guardian. Although the Daoist child hadn't been sent off, he had already begun the preliminary investigation. Then, he disappeared!
No one knew what he had found, but in the eyes of the Gaoshan people, anyone who dared to attack the Xuanyuan Sword School in the Western Region couldn't be a small force or an accident!
Thinking about the merchant's background, everything was on the verge of being revealed.
But the Cigarette Butt Taoist who came next had a completely different style. He was dawdling and careless. He had already revealed the information so clearly, but this person was completely unable to grasp the main point. Or rather, he didn't want to catch them at all?
The guardian cultivators of Xuanyuan had a lot of power, and it was in the transmission of information from the stone pagoda!
The Western Region was so big, and there were so many cities and towns. Every day, the information gathered from all over the Western Region was as numerous as the stars in the sky. It was difficult to distinguish between the truth and the lies, and it was impossible to screen them one by one. It was very difficult to appear on the desk of a true guardian cultivator, unless you directly passed the information to the high-level cultivators of Xuanyuan. But were the high-level cultivators of Xuanyuan that easy to approach?
If they weren't careful, they would be the first to throw themselves in!
The guardian cultivators were the best choice! They were the eyes, ears, and brains of Xuanyuan everywhere. They were responsible for summarizing all kinds of local information, distinguishing between the truth and the lies, and sorting out the priorities. Then, they would pass the information back to the dome through the stone pagoda's formation. This kind of information that had been roughly processed was also the most important thing to Xuanyuan. There were specialized personnel handling it, and it could even reach the heavens!
According to her judgment, there was a foreign species among the Daoist children of Mao Point Town. It had happened more than ten years ago, and it involved at least a hundred Daoist children. There were more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators in the school. This kind of information could be considered serious, and it would definitely attract the attention of Xuanyuan.
However, why did this cigarette butt remain indifferent all this time? She asked him to help her find her niece, Xiao Juan. Did he just find Xiao Juan and call it a day? What about the intuition of a cultivator? What about the integrity of a person sitting in this position? What about the loyalty to Xuanyuan?
When she thought about how this Daoist would come here for no reason, her woman's intuition told her that there were probably other motives behind this!
Bah! He actually used his position to satisfy his own filthy desires. How did such a cultivator enter Xuanyuan? Xuanyuan had a reputation of abhorring evil as if it were an enemy. They didn't rub sand in their eyes, and they were bright and iron-blooded. How could she not see this at all?
The first guardian was impetuous and rash, and his skills were sloppy. The second guardian was sloppy and absent-minded. How did such a school dominate the Five Rings for tens of thousands of years?
There was nothing she could do. She could only wait! Looking at the changes after that, maybe it was just this guy's personality that was a bit slow? Maybe he actually had a plan?
She couldn't possibly throw herself in for the sake of the clan's affairs, right?
In Mao Jiao Town, there was not only one person who was worried. In an ordinary courtyard, a Daoist raised his head and looked at the moon, feeling somewhat depressed.
He came from a famous school with a Dharma lineage in the Five Rings, the kind that could be compared to Xuanyuan. Ten years ago, he received a very challenging mission from the school, which was to destroy the foundations of other schools' orthodoxies, regardless of the form.
The reason why it was challenging was because this was an open-ended mission. There was no fixed goal, nor was there a clear goal. It was purely based on the cultivator's personal understanding to complete the mission, and then they would report it to the school. The school would then evaluate the level and completion of the mission based on the progress of the mission and the goal achieved. If the mission was done well, the reward would be very generous.
This type of mission was very popular in the Five Rings in recent years, because it was not a fixed mission. It could maximize the cultivator's personal initiative to the greatest extent, and bring out the advantages of one's experience and strength to the greatest extent.
Of course, with his status in the school, if he were to attack a lower ranked school, the evaluation would definitely not be high. However, he did not have much choice, so he chose the school that was the most suitable opponent for the Dharma lineage — Xuanyuan.
A mission like this was not something that could be completed by a Foundation Establishment newbie. Only those who had been through many years could find the most suitable breakthrough direction according to their own characteristics. Just like him, he had been building his foundation for seventy years, and had already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Next, he needed to consider his own path of Core Formation. Before he completely focused on breaking through to the upper realm, he still had a chance to fulfill his dream. He would have the qualifications and achievements to show in the school, and at the same time, expand his family's wealth!
When he was young, he had once walked through the Wolf Ridge. At that time, he only wanted to prove himself. It was a young impulse, but the things he saw and heard along the way also gave him an idea. Now, it was time for him to prove his idea!
