Chapter 337: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkeys
Lin Xiong’s body stiffened for a moment.
Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Because he heard the voice belonged to Su Jingzhen.
He turned around and saw the figures of Su Jingzhen, Luo Yuebai, and the others emerging from the shadows.
Without any hesitation, Lin Xiong knelt down on one knee.
“Subject bows to Master.”
His small eyes were filled with respect and excitement.
“I asked you a question, is Zhao Tianming in that so-called space?”Su Jingzhen had no intention of beating around the bush.
He asked directly.
Lin Xiong replied, “Replying to the Master, that old ghost Zhao Tianming is indeed in the space within the Spiritual Medicine Sect.
Previously, I advised him that things were not right and he should come to our Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
But he had unparalleled confidence in the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s hidden space.
Unexpectedly, the Free and Unfettered Sect actually had the method to open that space portal.”
When he said this, Lin Xiong’s tone still held a hint of confusion.
“Tell me everything you know.”
Su Jingzhen’s voice became serious.
Although he had already gotten a general idea from Xu Song’s mouth, he was now eager to know everything.
Lin Xiong did not dare to be negligent.
He said, “Replying to the Master, the change began at noon yesterday.
Before Free and Unfettered Sect and the others acted, we didn’t receive any news. This alliance of forces directly entered the Spiritual Medicine Sect last night and began capturing people.
Most of the alchemists within the Spiritual Medicine Sect had already been transferred in the past few days.
Half of the forces of the alliance then began capturing people between Tianning City and Linjiang City.
Zhao Tianming and the other two fourth-rank alchemists hadn’t had time to evacuate.
The biggest goal of these forces gathering here is the Spiritual Medicine Sect, including Zhao Tianming, and the three fourth-rank alchemists.
However, as for why the Free and Unfettered Sect has the method to open the mysterious space of the Spiritual Medicine Sect, I am also unclear.”
Hearing Lin Xiong’s words, Su Jingzhen, Luo Yuebai, and the others frowned.
These forces were able to detect the anomaly of the Spiritual Medicine Sect within such a short period of time, and they even formed an alliance to perfectly evade the investigation of the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang branch.
This was indeed something worth reflecting on.
But reflection is reflection, to wholeheartedly build their newly established Shadow Hall and their intelligence system is just a later matter.
Right now, the most important thing for the three of them is to rescue Zhao Tianming and the others.
At least after arriving in Tianning City, they won’t let the most important people of the Spiritual Medicine Sect be snatched away by other forces.
After a moment of contemplation, Su Jingzhen looked at Lin Xiong in front of them.
“Alright, you have nothing to do here.
Go back, do what you need to do, and don’t let anyone know about our relationship.”
Hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Lin Xiong once again respectfully bowed to him.
He didn’t dare to be negligent, and directly left along a deserted and secluded path.
He knew that since Su Jingzhen and the others had arrived here, there was indeed nothing for him to do.
Although the forces of the alliance were formidable.
And Su Jingzhen and the others only had three people, but in Lin Xiong’s heart, there was a subconscious feeling that as long as Su Jingzhen and the others came, then everything would no longer be a problem.
This was a subconscious confidence in the master.
It was also because the name Blood Hand Asura of Shen Yifeng was too terrifying.
After Lin Xiong left, Shen Yifeng’s gaze suddenly turned to Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai in front of him.
“Right now, the passage to that mysterious space is about to be opened by the people of Free and Unfettered Sect.
What do you think we should do to safely bring Zhao Tianming and the others back to our Linjiang branch?”
Although under Hong Seng’s guidance, the number of locations on the Spiritual Medicine Sect central plaza where spirit patterns appeared were increasing.
They were all guarded by the Golden Core cultivators present.
And the void in the center of the plaza was becoming more and more distorted, as if a vortex passage was about to appear.
But there was still some time before it was fully opened.
So Shen Yifeng was not nervous at this time.
Hearing Shen Yifeng’s words, Luo Yuebai immediately smiled and said, “Although there are these four top forces here forming an alliance.
But aren’t these Nascent Soul cultivators they sent out nothing but rotten fish in front of you, Third Grandpa?
Many times, the key is in quality, not quantity. We don’t have any burdens here.
A big slaughter, showing the true nature of our demonic path, is also a very effective method.”
When she said this, Luo Yuebai’s tone was full of confidence.
This was confidence in Shen Yifeng.
Shen Yifeng smiled and didn’t respond.
He looked at Su Jingzhen: “Stinky boy, what do you think?”
Su Jingzhen’s lips curled into a smile: “If we are going to make an appearance, we must show the arrogance of the demonic path, that is, we must be high-profile.
But the people in front of us represent the top forces of the Qingzhou region, or rather, the Yunmeng City region.
Although the master’s strength is unparalleled, if you really push these guys to a corner, even master will find it hard to fight four hands with two fists.
And our Linjiang branch is just starting out.
There’s no need to really become the target of everyone’s ire.”
Su Jingzhen’s words made Luo Yuebai raise an eyebrow: “In the current situation, they have already formed an alliance, and it is obvious that they are targeting our Evil Moon Sect.
Are we going to reason with them when we go out?
Besides, this isn’t the style of our demonic path.”
Su Jingzhen shook his head again: “That’s definitely not it.
Although they are an alliance, this kind of alliance can be fragile at times.
And our ultimate goal is to defeat Zou Zeyu and their branch in a year.
Even if the master can kill all the Nascent Soul cultivators here today, do you think it’s beneficial for our Linjiang branch to completely offend them, Yuebai?
Whether it’s Spirit Sound Valley, Lingxiu Pavilion, or Flowing Wind Sword Sect, they all have Soul Formation stage cultivators guarding their sects.
And they all belong to the forces of the Yunmeng City region, just like us.
Even though they might be wary of the Evil Moon Sect’s reputation, they definitely won’t be afraid of a Linjiang branch.”
Before Su Jingzhen could finish his words, Luo Yuebai frowned again: “Are you saying we should go out and negotiate with them?
And then share the alchemists of Spirit Medicine Sect with them?
If that’s the case, I’d rather offend them completely.
As a demonic cultivator, why should we fear a battle? “
As she said this, a hint of killing intent appeared in Luo Yuebai’s eyes.
Su Jingzhen smiled wryly: “Luo Yuebai, why don’t you understand what I mean?
Apart from Spirit Sound Valley, Lingxiu Pavilion, and Flowing Wind Sword Sect in this alliance, there’s another most arrogant Free and Unfettered Sect that doesn’t belong to the Yunmeng City system.”
As he said this, Su Jingzhen helplessly pointed to his head.
“Sometimes, strategy is more useful than absolute force.
Strength must be used wisely, as the saying goes “four ounces move a thousand pounds”.
After these words came out, Luo Yuebai was stunned for a moment.
Then her eyes suddenly lit up.
She was just used to being straightforward.
Most of the time, she relied on overwhelming force, but she wasn’t really a fool.
She immediately said excitedly: “Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys?”
