The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 976 - 304: A Game of Wits Among Old Foxes

He squinted his eyes, "Do you think your Taiqing Sect's mere twenty people can handle everyone after the corpse transformation?"

Seeing Cao Zhengyang remain silent, Sikong Yan continued to entice, "Relax, only dead men keep secrets. You play the fisherman, we'll be the yellowbird, each getting what they need."

"How exactly do you plan to do it?" Cao Zhengyang asked after a brief contemplation.

Seeing Cao Zhengyang agree, Sikong Yan was delighted and said, "I've already prepared everything. When the time comes, someone will record it with an Imaging Stone—it's the people from the Golden Thunder Sect who will take action."

"Even if someone from the Imperial City comes over later, they won't trace it back to our two parties."

Cao Zhengyang suddenly realized something and looked into the distance with shock, "You have someone among the Supreme Elders of the Golden Thunder Sect?"

Sikong Yan merely smiled meaningfully.

But soon, he sighed lightly, showing a regretful expression, "Still messed up... I really don't know what those old guys from the Phecda Sect added to the 'Corpse Sutra'?"

He glanced at the distance toward the Qiling Sect, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

"Even more eerie is that Lei Wuji actually refined something significant from it, but this 'something' is too terrifying. Even I fear it will backfire."

Cao Zhengyang remained silent, but waves of shock surged in his heart.

He suddenly realized that he seems to have never truly seen through the person in front of him.

"Since we're idle," Sikong Yan suddenly diverted the topic, taking out radiant Array Flags from his Storage Bag, "how about helping me set up an array?"

When he saw the four-colored light swirling on the Array Flags, Cao Zhengyang's pupils contracted sharply.

This involuntarily reminded him of the past at Canglan Mountain.

It was clearly a flawed Five-Color Array designed only for a million Demon Beasts, yet he embedded a Four-Color Killing Array within it.

And such a rare array was mercilessly detonated by him in the end.

Where on earth did this guy get so many advanced arrays?

Could it be that he discovered an ancient relic that only he is exploring? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Seeming to see through what Cao Zhengyang was thinking, Sikong Yan chuckled, "This time, it's only targeting them and has nothing to do with you. I can take a Heavenly Dao Oath."

Cao Zhengyang waved his hand and said, "No need, just tell me the method!"

If this bunch indeed has other intentions, they could easily wait until he's exhausted from fighting the others and then appear like a yellowbird to take advantage of the situation.

Why go through such elaborate trouble?

"Straightforward!" Seeing this, Sikong Yan laughed loudly, "I like sensible people like you!"

...

Taiqing Sect, Little Spirit Peak!

The ancient trees remain unchanged, the branches and leaves swaying gently.

Lu Yaoyao sat quietly under the tree, surrounded by the increasingly solid form of a Realm's silhouette.

Her eyes gently closed, with tiny ice crystals forming on her long lashes, making her seem as though she was one with the world.

She remembers when she first met Third Mother, who stood atop this tree and with a single thought turned the entire ancient tree into an ice sculpture.

Now, also practicing the 'Ice Purity Skills,' she can easily achieve the same.

Yet, for some reason, she always senses a faint urine smell in this place, lingering for ages and never dissipating.

"Swoosh—"

Shortly after, a streak of sword light pierced through the sky, and Shi Zhen gracefully descended with a food box.

In the span of more than two years, she had lost count of how many times she had brought snacks for Lu Yaoyao.

According to Lu, these snacks contain her fondest memories and can help her comprehend the Realm.

But because she had taken on a task to watch over Zhou Qing, she couldn't leave, so she entrusted Shi Zhen with it.

Looking at the figure cultivating under the tree, a hint of envy flashed in Shi Zhen's eyes.

Who would've thought that the youngest junior sister back then is now at the late stage of Nascent Soul cultivation.
