Many quickly agreed with Ci Ren Pengcuo’s idea.

The Sect Master of the Jiuling Sect proposed another idea:

“There’s no need to take unneeded risks. I have a plan. We can throw our weight behind the Incense Fire Dao in secret to kill Lu Yuansheng. Once Lu Yuansheng is gone and the situation destabilizes, the eyes of Incense Fire Dao will turn menacing. At that point, the Tianmen Cult will not remain idle. We can then take a look at their true intentions, and continue to use Incense Fire Dao to bleed them out…”

“Excellent! This plan is feasible!”

Ci Ren Pengcuo was the first to agree.

“Although it requires some effort, it’s not bad.”

Zhong Bu of the Chihe Sword Sect also nodded.

Ji Lan of the East Saint Sect frowned after considering it for a while, but feeling that there was probably no better plan at the moment, she agreed as well.

The Sect Master Xiong of the Mountain Sea Sect, however, raised a rare question:

“But how shall we assist the Incense Fire Dao and kill Lu Yuansheng?”

Many frowned at this.

This was indeed a problem. Killing a cultivator on par with the Nascent Soul Immortal Master without direct intervention was an excruciatingly difficult task.

“There is no need to worry. Our plan is to keep the people of the Incense Fire Dao standing for some more time, exhaust Lu Yuansheng’s mana, and without the Blood Bone Saint Venerable, he is nothing but an initial stage Golden Core competitor.”

Someone suggested.

Many nodded in response.

And thus, the problem was easily solved.

“We must move swiftly to support the people of Incense Fire Dao. Else, these six Golden Core competitors might secretly recover from their injuries. Next time, they might end up being a real threat.”

Ci Ren Pengcuo stated.

At this moment, Ji Lan suddenly sensed some movement in her storage ring.

She quickly raised her hand in a polite gesture and apologized, “Gentlemen, if you would excuse me for a while. I need to attend to something.”

“You may leave, Martial Uncle Ji.”

Without further ado, Ji Lan flew off from Yuhuang Peak.

With the speed of a Golden Core cultivator, she soon landed on an old mountain not far from Zhongyuan City.

The forest was dense in the mountain.

Ji Lan swept her spiritual sense around but found nothing.

Without any surprise, she took out an array plate from her storage ring.

She placed the Array Plate on the ground. Soon the Array Plate emitted an invisible halo that spread quickly in all directions.

It even faintly spread to downtown Zhongyuan City.

At this moment.

In a secret room of a building in Zhongyuan City.

A cultivator hidden in a black robe stood up as if sensing something, quickly took out a similar array plate.

In an instant, the cultivator disappeared, and the array plate was left on the ground.

In the meantime.

In the old mountain, a figure covered in a black robe suddenly appeared in front of Ji Lan.

The figure in the black robe paid respects immediately after seeing Ji Lan:

“Disciple pays respects to the Sect Master!”

“No need to be formal. You have worked hard.”

Ji Lan quickly stopped the man from bowing, not bringing up any matter but expressing concern on her face:

“Have you been doing well recently?”

“Master, they do not suspect me…”

Ji Lan shakes her head: “I was asking about you. Are you doing well?”

Upon hearing these words, the figure in the black robe froze. Soon, a note of deep emotion tinged his voice:

“Thank you for your concern, Sect Master. The disciple is doing well.”

He couldn’t wait to continue, “Let me get to the point quickly given the urgency of time.”

Ji Lan nodded, not saying anything else.

The figure in the black robe continued:

“I discovered earlier that Ning Daohuan and the other Elders have all rushed to the Golden Rainbow camp. It is said that the Golden Rainbow camp also suffered attacks from the Incense Fire Dao, far worse than what happened in Chen State. Half of Jiang State, the home of the Golden Rainbow camp, has apparently been occupied…”

“Jiang State?”

Ji Lan couldn’t help but ask.

The figure in the black robe responded: “I have been there before. It is a small country located in the southeastern part of the Chu Dynasty. Not very famous.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Lan understood. Then she questioned further: “Now that Ning Daohuan and the other Golden Core Elders have gone to Jiang State, does that mean that the Tianmen Cult’s stronghold in Chen State is now empty?”

“It appears so. The faction led by Lu Yuansheng comprises the most elite cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage in the entire Tianmen Cult now.”

This was stated by the figure in the black robe.

After hearing the details, Ji Lan contemplated for a moment and suddenly realized something: “So according to this, by putting up a deliberate front of attacking the Incense Fire Dao, even mobilizing elite disciples, and hinting at a decisive crackdown on the Incense Fire Dao, Lu Yuansheng wanted to mislead us into thinking that they had hidden motives. This was to prevent us from acting recklessly and to buy themselves sufficient time… It’s an empty city strategy!”

“That’s definitely the work of Ning Daohuan!”

“But … this also presents us with a great opportunity!”

“Retake our stronghold! Take back Fanming’s primordial spirit!”

“At the same time, seize the opportunity to cut off the Teleportation Array and prevent Ning Daohuan and others from returning to Chen State!”

The figure in the black robe couldn’t help but become enthused by this idea.

However, he quickly regained his calm and said solemnly:

“The information that I have is just hearsay. Although I did not see Ning Daohuan and the Golden Core Elders in our camp, it can’t be guaranteed that there isn’t a trap. Sect Master, I advise caution.”

“No problem.”

Ji Lan was excited and said happily:

“If we’re able to recover our camp this time, you will become an exceptional contributor. I will definitely use all means to cultivate you to the Golden Core stage!”

The figure in the black robe shook his head: “Thank you, Sect Master. But my qualifications are limited and I don’t dare harbor such hopes. I only hope that the Sect will continue to prosper and that my descendants can make a contribution to the Sect in the future.”

Ji Lan paused for a moment, then became solemn and promised sincerely:

“Rest assured. As long as the East Saint Sect exists, we will never let down you or your descendants!”

She then said: “You should get back quickly to avoid any inconsistencies in case someone comes looking for you.”

“Yes!”

The figure in the black robe nodded.

Soon, the figure disappeared.

At that moment, Ji Lan secretly took out a talisman from her sleeve.

Seeing that there were no burn marks on it, she nodded lightly:

“Fortunately, it wasn’t seized and his senses seem normal.”

She waited for a while at the original spot, and the invisible halo returned from afar and went back into the array plate.

Only then did Ji Lan tidy up the array plate and quickly flew back to Yuhuang Peak.

Meanwhile.

In a secret room of a building in Zhongyuan City.

A figure in a black robe suddenly appeared on the array plate that had been left on the ground.

As soon as the figure appeared, he quickly scanned his surroundings to make sure no one had come in. He sighed in relief.

Then he carefully took off the black robe and burned it completely.

His real face was also revealed.

A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance.

If Wang Ba saw him, he might recognize the man’s identity.

It was none other than Cheng Shu ── the Foundation Establishment Competitor from the Beasts Room who won Lu Yuansheng’s trust by cultivating Spirit Chickens.
