Chapter 433 Close the door and beat the dog
At the same time, Gongsun Lian, who was far away in the Demon Palace, was communicating with the Lord of the Soul Binding Valley using the sound transmission talisman.
"Valley Master, how are you?"
"Hmph, Bai Lian? Just say it if you have something to say. Could it be that old bastard He Gui has gone crazy again recently?" The Lord of the Soul Binding Valley is a Nascent Soul cultivator. When he talked to Bai Lian, he also put on some of the airs of a senior.
"No, no, Bai Lian is here to help the Valley Master."
"As long as you keep a close eye on He Gui and tell him not to do anything stupid, you will be allocating your worries to me. I am afraid that if that girl named Bai Ling starts crying and making a scene, the old ghost will do anything."
"For the benefit of the Demonic Path, I will keep a close eye on that woman and will not let her mess things up." Gongsun Lian finished her words and smiled, "The Valley Master knows that the ancestor of the Corpse Refining Sect is a close confidant of He Gui and is deeply trusted by the Demon Palace. Over the years, he has indirectly divided up a lot of the resources of the Soul Binding Valley. This matter must be a headache for the Valley Master."
“…Oh? What do you mean?” The Soul Binding Valley Master’s tone sank.
"The Qingyuan Sect has sent a team of people to encircle and suppress the Lianshi Sect. As long as the Valley Master pretends not to see it, they will be able to wipe out the Lianshi Sect in one fell swoop..." Gongsun Lian chuckled.
"Hmph! Do you think I'm a fool? Don't you know the principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold"? Now is the time when good and evil are fighting. Instead of worrying about these petty favors and grudges, we should think about how to wipe out the four righteous sects in Wuyunzhou." The master of Binding Soul Valley sneered: "Bai Lian, who are you? You are helping the righteous sects to deal with my evil monks. What are you thinking!"
Gongsun Lian was not panicked at all, she chuckled and said, "Why is the Valley Master so irritable? I haven't even finished what I was saying."
Being mocked by a ghost cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Soul Binding Valley Master's eyes gradually became cold, but he continued to listen.
"Compared to the strategy of closing the door to fight the dog and crossing the river to destroy the bridge, let the Qingyuan Sect cultivators fight with the Corpse Refining Sect's people for a few days first, and when both are exhausted, the people of the Soul Binding Valley can go and destroy those scattered soldiers of the Qingyuan Sect in the name of revenge for their fellow Taoists from the Corpse Refining Sect, and use the power of the righteous cultivators. This way, they can not only indirectly swallow up the Corpse Refining Sect's territory, but also prevent the Qingyuan Sect cultivators from succeeding." Gongsun Lian began to persuade.
Bai Lan's strength might not match that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, but her means of escaping were first-rate. Gongsun Lian knew that a mere Soul Binding Valley Lord could not kill her.
Anyway, the woman only asked her to find a way to give convenience to the Qingyuan Sect monks when they passed by, but she didn't say to give convenience to them on her way back.
This woman's heart and eyes are really full of those righteous monks. She is obviously from the evil path, so there is no reason for her to help outsiders deal with the evil monks!
It was Bai Lan. If someone else asked her to do this, she would definitely skin that person alive.
The Soul Binding Valley Master paused with a cold look in his eyes, thought for a moment, frowned and said, "How could He Gui allow the Soul Binding Valley to swallow up the Corpse Refining Sect like this? According to past practice, even if something happened to the Corpse Refining Sect, this territory would eventually belong to the Demon Palace, not to mention that the old ghost of Corpse Refining Sect is not dead yet."
The Demon Palace is the only powerful force in Wuyunzhou and has a long history. It will never allow other forces to rise within the scope of the demon world.
Even if there are larger forces like the Corpse Refining Sect, the Soul Binding Valley and the Blood Vine Pavilion that have Nascent Soul cultivators in charge, these Nascent Soul ancestors all hold the title of elders in the Demon Palace, and are actually people of the Demon Palace. The Demon Palace will also send its trusted Jindan elders to serve in these sects and forces to ensure that they have no ulterior motives.
"With me mediating, Valley Master does not need to worry about this matter." Gongsun Lian chuckled: "The corpse refiner is a close confidant of He Gui. He will become our great enemy in the future. It would be better to exchange his life for a righteous ancestor."
“Hehehe, you are worthy of being someone who dares to do small tricks under the nose of a Nascent Soul cultivator. You are really brave. If I become the master of the Demon Palace in the future, I will definitely not treat you badly.” The Lord of the Soul Binding Valley laughed.
Gongsun Lian's voice was gentle, but there was no trace of a smile on her face, and her eyes were full of exploitation: "Yes, yes, yes, I will rely on the Valley Master to take care of me in the future."
Little did people know that Gongsun Lian also used the same rhetoric when facing other Nascent Soul elders.
On the other side, a group of Qingyuan Sect monks, led by Bai Lan, were riding a flying boat slowly towards the direction of the Demonic Path.
The location of the Corpse Refining Sect is not directly adjacent to the righteous territory, and there are two or three demonic forces in between. Fortunately, the Qingyuan Sect's flying boat is a sixth-rank top-grade magic weapon, which is not only sturdy and durable, but also extremely concealed.
The highest level of cultivation of cultivators in ordinary small demonic forces is only the Jindan stage, so they must not be able to notice the Qingyuan Sect's flying boat passing over their heads.
But the ancestor of Binding Soul Valley is at the Nascent Soul stage, and he is also an elder of the Demon Palace. If he senses that the righteous flying boat is quietly passing overhead, how could he not notice it? A fight is inevitable.
Seeing that Bai Lan was still drinking tea calmly and had no intention of controlling the flying boat to take a detour, not only was Wang Zhen extremely anxious, but even Master Yin Ning could no longer sit still.
"Junior Sister Bai, the border between good and evil is ahead. Now is the time of a great war. If we go there in broad daylight like this, we will definitely be noticed by the old demon in the Soul Binding Valley... The purpose of our trip is just to reach the Corpse Refining Sect, so why not take a detour?" Yin Ning couldn't help but speak.
Bai Lan calmly shook his head: "It's okay, keep going."
"But......"
"The people from Soul Binding Valley won't touch us. Senior Sister, just sit still and move forward with confidence." Bai Lan smiled soothingly.
Although it’s not a good idea to think this way, Bai Lan’s words sound like he is colluding with the people from the Soul Binding Valley.
This feeling began to grow stronger as the Qing Yuan Sect's flying boat passed safely over the Soul Binding Valley, and the Soul Binding Ancestor remained unmoved and no one came out to stop them.
"Senior Sister Yin Ning, Fellow Daoist Wang, the two of you stay here for a while. I'm going to go to the Corpse Refining Sect to investigate the situation." When the flying boat was about to arrive at the Corpse Refining Sect, Bai Lan suddenly stood up and looked at the two people behind him.
"Are you alone?" Yin Ning frowned.
Bai Lan nodded, and disappeared from the spot the next moment. He left very quickly, leaving the two Jindan cultivators looking at each other in silence.
Nan Xianzhi also frowned, but her strength was only at the foundation-building stage, so if she followed, she would be a drag, so she could only stand there and wait for the result.
"Is it really okay to let Brother Bai go alone?"
"Trust her."
