Chapter 693 - 693 48 Trading_2
693: Chapter 48 Trading_2 693: Chapter 48 Trading_2 Yes.
This is exactly what Yan Xie wanted to see.
After leaving the Taoist sect, he began to strategize how to dethrone Chen Jingxuan from his position as State Preceptor…
This battle at the South Border presented the best opportunity to strike!
“According to the original plan, tomorrow when they step into the Pure White Mountain, they will see this scene.”
The sect master stroked his chin and looked apologetically at the young man in the sedan chair: “Only, now this plan…
has encountered a bit of an unexpected situation.”
“Unexpected?”
The young man frowned: “What unexpected situation?”
“The Paperman Technique was discovered, and Great Chu has postponed the demon cleansing.” Yan Xie said resentfully.
“Is that so?”
The young man replied indifferently: “This unexpected situation shouldn’t matter.
You can find a way to resolve it, right?
Will the conditions we agreed upon before change?”
“No.”
This time, before Yan Xie could speak, Lu Yuzhen laughed and said: “This unexpected situation is trivial, I’ll handle it…
The conditions agreed between us will not change.
However, the results of some matters might change.
There are always unexpected events in this world, just like the assassin you sent to Lingqu City didn’t succeed and instead, perished.”
“Indeed.”
The young man remained indifferent: “Most things in this world are full of unexpected events.
In my opinion, the death of the assassin at Lingqu City is insignificant.
His identity wasn’t exposed, and his death won’t affect anything.”
Yan Xie knew about the Lingqu City incident.
Last night, the Treasure Ship arrived at the South Border, and a Yin God Middle Realm expert suddenly died outside Lingqu City.
So far,
The identity of that Yin God Middle Realm expert has not been identified.
Even more outrageous is…
No clues were left about the person who killed him.
“Your Highness is mostly correct, but not entirely.”
Lu Yuzhen rubbed his two fingers together and smiled: “When I passed through Jiangning last year, I heard a storyteller say something meaningful…
He said that a butterfly flapping its wings in the distant South Border could possibly cause an avalanche in the northern Demon Country.”
“Nonsense.”
The young man shook his head and laughed: “Do you believe that?”
“It is somewhat exaggerated and absurd.
However, from the perspective of cause and effect, it makes a little sense.”
Lu Yuzhen gradually restrained his smile and said regretfully: “If Your Highness had followed Lu’s arrangement and not sent an assassin to attack Xie Zhen…
There might still have been an opportunity for ‘recruitment’.
At least when meeting, faces wouldn’t be torn.”
“Do you think Xie Zhen would tear his face with me?”
The young man sitting in the golden chariot laughed: “Are you trying to persuade me to abandon the idea of meeting him?
Or are you hoping to renegotiate the conditions we discussed earlier?”
“No, no, no…”
Lu Yuzhen shook his head and softly said: “Your Highness, the promises I made to you will not change.
The Secret Realm of Great Saint Bai Ze is real, and you have seen it.
If you want to meet Xie Zhen alone, that will naturally happen.
But I want to tell you, after the assassination incident in Lingqu City, your chance to recruit him is almost zero.
Are you sure you want to proceed with this deal?”
“You mean the Heart Lake Sensing of the Sword Cultivator?”
The young man was silent for a moment, then resumed his indifferent demeanor: “The deal continues.
I want to see him, no matter what.
After all, he is Xie Xuanyi’s disciple…
If he refuses to surrender, then kill him.
This is still within the scope of the deal.
You will help me, right?”
“Of course!”
Lu Yuzhen smiled brightly without the slightest hesitation: “…
I will help you kill him!”
“Good.”
The young man nodded with satisfaction and said indifferently: “Once everything is over, I will give you what you want.”
If one knew the identity of this young man, they would understand the weight of this promise!
The Paper Taoist laughed loudly.
A sudden strong wind rose, countless white papers whistled past, slipping into the cracks opening in the ground, the boundary door stone pillars echoed with a thunderous noise.
The earth gradually closed up again.
Golden light dazzling once more, the young man turned the chariot without hesitation, driving into the void, leaving without the slightest bit of lingering.
Once the golden light gradually extinguished,
The mountain gate returned to calm, the earth filled with white paper smooth as before, as if a snowstorm had swept through, erasing all traces.
The person with a carrying basket on Pure White Mountain resumed his actions.
Step by step, they continued to climb the mountain steps.
And those faces growing in the mud gradually dimmed, closing their eyes.
“…”
Yan Xie’s expression turned grim.
Tonight, he left Qingfu Mountain to come here, originally intending just to discuss countermeasures with Lu Yuzhen.
Unexpectedly, he encountered an “unintended person”.
Even more unexpected was that Lu Yuzhen harbored such grand ambitions—
Before encountering the person in the chariot, Yan Xie couldn’t understand.
How Lu Yuzhen dared to recklessly kill Da Chu Practitioners, wasn’t he afraid of the Holy Empress of Ren Shou Palace’s wrath?
Now it became clear to him…
This guy is a complete madman!
Not only did he want to kill Da Chu Practitioners, but he wanted to kill them massively!
The appearance of the Pure White Mountain Secret Realm was never a coincidence but a meticulously designed trap!
Who would believe that this majestic snow mountain was merely an “ambush”?
Once the Da Chu Practitioners enter the mountain gate, it triggers the “ambush”, making the Pure White Mountain Secret Realm collapse and the Bai Ze Great Saint Secret Realm emerge…
How perilous is the Secret Realm of an ancient Great Saint?
Without cultivation in the Yin God Realm, they are not qualified to step in!
Simply the Earth Abyss just now was enough to make sure the first group of Da Chu Practitioners entering here would never return!
No wonder the Three Great Sects suffered successive defeats at Lu Yuzhen’s hands; this guy was not someone like White Ghost, Red Immortal, or Mo Taoist could handle!
Everything seemed ready, waiting only for the right timing.
“Do you have ‘papermen’ among the seven Zhanjiao Mountains?” Yan Xie suddenly asked.
“…”
Lu Yuzhen did not respond.
“The trap in the Pure White Mountain Secret Realm is indeed vicious…
But if it drags on for three days, who knows what will happen.”
Yan Xie took a deep breath and seriously asked: “If you haven’t planted ‘papermen’ in the Zhanjiao Mountains, what is your solution?”
“Everyone has their desires.”
Lu Yuzhen smiled lightly, “With the Pure White Mountain right in front of them, those people will certainly step in.”
“Willing participants…
Is that your solution?”
Yan Xie found the answer absurd: “Without the Three Great Sects pleading with Ren Shou Palace to intervene, not even a fly would enter this godforsaken Pure White Mountain!”
Speaking of this, he paused, suddenly realizing that the entire demon cleansing event from the beginning wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
“I heard that Baihua Valley and the Jiang Family of Qing State’s Treasure Ships hosted a victory feast the night they arrived in Lingqu City.
Many people believed this demon cleansing battle would be an effortless victory…”
Lu Yuzhen suddenly asked quietly: “Do you think Xie Zhen ringing the alarm bell and the three-day delay is truly a good thing?”
Some people covet victory, some seek merit, some are eager to behead Paper Sect followers.
Yan Xie knew the outcome of tonight’s emergency meeting remained uncertain—
Many Yin God Supervisors advocated caution, to first establish a foothold.
But the belligerent faction hoped to take the initiative!
In truth…
all the discussions ultimately required one person’s final decision.
Wu Zhexian.
This time, the Southern Border demon cleansing had only one Yang God in command.
Before the arrival of the second Yang God, Wu Zhexian was the true leader of the seven Zhanjiao Mountains.
To attack Pure White Mountain, it required him to break through the Mountain Protection Array!
“…”
As Yan Xie was thinking deeply,
Lu Yuzhen asked softly again, “If the Paper Sect wins a victory within the three-day period before the arrival of the Da Chu Yang God, what do you think will happen?
Will these Da Chu Practitioners remain calm and pull back to the South Border to re-strategize, or will they burn with rage and throw themselves into battle headlong?”
