The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 963 - 301: Guo Datou’s Awakening

The others nodded slightly, indicating their understanding.

Before long, the Taiqing Sect received news that Princess Consort Ying's entourage originally planned to rest at the Golden Thunder Sect but was tactfully refused on the grounds that the Sect Leader was in seclusion.

This made them furious, prompting them to leave in a huff.

Sect Leader in seclusion, Sect Leader in seclusion, can't they think of any other reason?

Cao Zhengyang chuckled upon hearing this.

Not to mention Lei Wuji's devilish temperament, you think he'll welcome you with open arms when you're trying to use him as a pawn?

Moreover, your intentions on someone else's turf are evident to anyone with a discerning eye.

After the Fifth Prince's death, the Liu Family began to decline.

The Golden Thunder Sect isn't foolish. Why would they risk offending the Taiqing Sect and the mysterious force that could kill the Fifth Prince over someone else's personal vendetta?

This is a situation they'd rather avoid at all costs.

"Besides, recently two more sects have been exterminated, and by the time we discovered it, at least five days had passed!"

Mo Xingjian said gravely.

Cao Zhengyang sighed deeply upon hearing this.

"If the Golden Thunder Sect continues to indulge itself like this, it will eventually become a disaster for the entire Eastern Domain. But right now, with the unpredictable factor of Princess Consort Ying, we can't act rashly!"

Gao Xuan suddenly chuckled softly while sitting nearby, "Since we can't resolve the conflict, why not divert it?"

Cao Zhengyang and Mo Xingjian immediately turned to look at him.

Gao Xuan spoke leisurely, "The Golden Thunder Sect's original plan was to leverage the matter of the Seventh Prince to incite conflict between our Taiqing Sect and Princess Consort Ying, but they didn't expect to be betrayed by her."

"In that case, why not be the beneficiary of their strife?"

"You're suggesting..." Cao Zhengyang's eyes flashed brilliantly, "pit the Golden Thunder Sect and Princess Consort Ying against each other?"

Gao Xuan nodded, saying, "Don't forget, we still have that dried corpse."

Cao Zhengyang's eyes lit up at first, but then he shook his head, "Princess Consort Ying is in the late stage of Divinity Transformation, and the five members of the Liu Family have County Governor-level combat power, along with a large number of Royal Guards... That ancient corpse can at most exert Nascent Soul strength; it would be difficult to even approach, let alone harm anyone."

"Why get close?" Mo Xingjian suddenly spoke, "We just need it to make an appearance and..."

He paused meaningfully, "the corpse poison it carries."

Gao Xuan glanced at Mo Xingjian, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, and a slight smile tugged at his lips.

"Exactly, and we can see just how long someone at Divinity Transformation Realm Perfection can last after being poisoned. Is there an antidote?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengyang's eyes suddenly brightened, his fingers unconsciously tapping the table.

This plan, truly a triple-win strategy.

First, it restrains the covert actions of the Golden Thunder Sect.

Second, it throws Princess Consort Ying's group into chaos, leaving no time to target the Taiqing Sect.

Third, it provides a perfect test subject to evaluate the true power of that corpse poison.

"What do you plan to do?" Cao Zhengyang leaned forward slightly, his eyes burning as he looked at Gao Xuan and Mo Xingjian.

The two exchanged a smile.

Sometimes, the simplest act of borrowing a blade to kill can solve the most complex problems.

...

Bailian Hall, once affiliated with the Phecda Sect, had its Sect Leader Guo Datou successfully advance to the late stage of Divinity Transformation years ago using Phecda Sect's resources.

After the fall of the Phecda Sect, he quickly offered a top-grade fire attribute Spirit Stone in turn for the protection of the Taiqing Sect.

But just last night, a terrifying Divine Sense suddenly locked onto him while he was asleep.

Guo Datou awoke with a start, only to find five elderly men with unfathomable auras standing at the foot of his bed with enigmatic smiles.

He hurriedly pushed aside the snoring twin furnaces beside him, scrambling out of bed to bow.

"Pff!"

"Pff!"

To his surprise, one of the elders flicked his fingers, instantly causing the heads of the two furnaces to explode, spraying Guo Datou's face with blood and brain matter.

"Do you want the Bailian Hall to become a super sect in the Eastern Domain?" The leading elder spoke sinisterly.

Guo Datou was about to shake his head but suddenly felt a chill on his neck, as an invisible Qi Sword was already pressed against his throat.

Trembling all over, he nodded repeatedly as if pecking rice, "Yes! Of course, I want to!"

The group finally smiled with satisfaction, "That's more like it. With our support, we'll surely help you replace one of the four major sects..."

The elder paused, "What do you think of the Taiqing Sect?"

Guo Datou laughed inwardly.

Even with you five at Divinity Transformation Perfection, you dare challenge the Taiqing Sect's more than twenty great experts?

Are you stupid, or do you think I'm stupid?

If the sky falls, those taller will hold it up. I'm not ambitious and don't want to be that tall one.

I just like this uneventful, stable life, and I feel it's good to be under their protection.

Where did you all come from?

From another domain of Lingyun Mansion?

Or other external mansions?

Besides, there's no such thing as a free lunch; if you want to use me, just say so.

But outwardly, a frenzy of excitement burst from his eyes.

"R-really?" Guo Datou said, his face full of excitement.

Several people nodded in satisfaction, and the leading elder stroked his beard, "Very good, now you need only to act according to our instructions. Remember——"

His gaze suddenly turned cold, "Should any word leak out..."

Guo Datou immediately patted his chest in assurance, "Rest assured, my elders! I, Guo Datou, swear to the Heavenly Dao, this matter will never be disclosed!"

He even theatrically performed a spell, making a Heavenly Dao Oath.

"Hahaha, good!" The elders exchanged glances and laughed, "Your Bailian Hall has truly met a benefactor."

The next afternoon, Guo Datou seized the opportunity and contacted the Phecda Sect immediately.

The Peak Master stationed there quickly stepped through the Teleportation Array to report the final resting place of Liu Family and others to Cao Zhengyang.

Upon hearing this, a meaningful smile instantly curled at the corners of Cao Zhengyang's mouth: "Interesting..."
