The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 975 - 304: The Game Among Old Foxes

Cao Zhengyang's expression was grave as he said, "If Lei Wuji really bites, given the cultivation of these people from the Liu Family, they can last for at most five hours."

"After five hours, they will become five terrifying mummified corpses with Divinity Transformation Perfection. By then, if Lei Wuji intends to make a move against our Taiqing Sect…"

"Senior Brother, then you mean—" Mo Xingjian's gaze sharpened.

A flicker of decisiveness flashed in Cao Zhengyang's eyes: "In that case, we might as well go all out! Quickly return to the sect and ask the uncles to come in full force."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xingjian's expression turned serious, immediately understanding what needed to be done.

This Qiling Sect place is remote, sparsely populated, and concealed by the Bicolor Array; it's indeed a good spot.

Only, I didn't expect this day to come so soon!

Mo Xingjian understood, and his figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

After Mo Xingjian left, Gao Xuan worriedly said, "If the Liu Family members really turn into corpses, with Lei Wuji's current state, it might be hard to fully control them and there's a risk of backlash…"

"That's why this is our only chance!" Cao Zhengyang said firmly, "If Lei Wuji's cultivation technique reaches Great Success, the entire Eastern Domain will become a field of corpses and blood!"

Hearing this, Gao Xuan nodded with a solemn expression.

Just as the two prepared to continue their observation, a mocking voice suddenly came from behind: "Oh, do you need help?"

Their faces changed abruptly, and they turned around sharply to see thirteen red-robed figures, including Sikong Yan, had quietly appeared at some point.

Cao Zhengyang and Gao Xuan immediately circulated their spiritual power, and protective spiritual light emanated around them.

Especially Gao Xuan, who was staring hard at Sikong Yan, alarm bells ringing in his heart.

Even after all these years, he had never truly understood this man.

It always felt like this person was shrouded in an impenetrable haze, making him unpredictable.

"Don't be nervous," Sikong Yan said with a smile, taking a step forward, his red robe moving without wind.

"I really have no ill intentions this time. Oh, by the way, I've already notified your sect on the way here, telling them you're in danger, so they should arrive early."

Cao Zhengyang's brows were tightly knit, his gaze sharp as lightning: "What exactly are you planning?"

"Nothing much," Sikong Yan's smile remained, "just that the game got a little out of hand, and I came to clean up the mess. What about you, are you also on this?"

Talking of games, Cao Zhengyang recalled the incident of leaving an image of Nannan with an imaging stone, which Gao Xuan still didn't know about.

"I never play such boring games!" Cao Zhengyang said sternly.

Sikong Yan suddenly laughed, "Don't know how to play? Sect Leader Cao, you're being modest!"

He pointed to the distant Qiling Sect, "This maneuver of driving tigers to swallow wolves and then reaping the rewards isn't rather adept?"

Cao Zhengyang's pupils shrank: "You've been following me?"

Sikong Yan nodded, directly admitting, "Indeed!"

Hearing this, Cao Zhengyang was shocked, because, from start to finish, not a single one of the three of them had noticed a trace.

At this point, Sikong Yan gave Gao Xuan a meaningful look but said nothing, as if the two weren't very familiar.

He then continued, "Honestly, even if all your Taiqing Sect's elite at Divinity Transformation Perfection joined in, you might not be able to take them down."

"As long as one escapes, your Taiqing Sect is finished, so…"

Sikong Yan smirked, stretching out his red robe, "I'm here to help you share some of the risks."

Cao Zhengyang suddenly realized, "So you actually knew about Lei Wuji's situation all along?"

"Of course we knew," Sikong Yan replied, looking quite pleased, "It was orchestrated by me. To be precise, I guided the Phecda Sect into setting a trap for Lei Wuji."

These words chilled Cao Zhengyang to the bone.

He had searched the Primordial Spirit of Master Lingxu and Dubhe and knew it was they who lured Lei Wuji to attack the gobi desert mine during the Five Sects' war, thereby discovering the Corpse Yin Sect's Corpse Nourishing Land.

But he never expected that there was actually Cangyan Daoist Palace's involvement behind it all!

How many other unknown schemes had this person orchestrated?

At this moment, the always silent Gao Xuan furrowed his brow and suddenly spoke, "Is it because of the Heart's Blood?"

Hearing this, Sikong Yan's eyes lit up, looking at Gao Xuan with a few appreciative glances, as if he had found a kindred spirit.

"Impressive! You figured it out. Just like how Liu Hansong, infected with corpse poison, could in turn sense the location of Lei Wuji out here."

"Pity those fools from the Phecda Sect," Sikong Yan scoffed, "thinking they could secretly manipulate the situation with my Heart's Blood, not realizing I could use it to influence them too."

"Besides, they're too weak. If it wasn't for my suppression, they would have suffered backlash long ago."

At this point, Sikong Yan looked at Cao Zhengyang with great interest.

"Interestingly, I thought after you wiped out the Phecda Sect, you'd continue using that Heart's Blood to influence me. Why didn't you? Instead, you sent someone to inform me of Master Lingxu and others' death?"

Cao Zhengyang snorted coldly, "Our Taiqing Sect acts openly and honestly, we disdain such underhanded tactics!"

Sikong Yan was momentarily taken aback, then burst into laughter, quickly covering his mouth for fear of alerting the distant Shadow Guards.

"A fine noble sect!" He raised a thumbs-up, but his eyes were full of mockery.

Cao Zhengyang felt as though he was being ridiculed.

Seeing the tension build, Sikong Yan changed the subject: "Actually, if our two sects cooperate, we can achieve great things."

"What do you mean?" Cao Zhengyang asked warily.

Sikong Yan pointed to the distant flying ship, "Those five from the Liu Family, Princess Consort Ying, and over sixty Divinity Transformation Realm guards… they can all stay here forever."

Cao Zhengyang's face suddenly changed.

"Don't make that face," Sikong Yan sneered, "Did you not plan to take action if my Cangyan Daoist Palace didn't come?"
