39 -38: Kill Three Birds with One Stone, a Flawless Plan

“Great Elder, there’s no need to be anxious.

Tao Someone has already prepared the young boys and girls.

Not only will they help you recover from your injuries, but they might even take you a step further.”

Deputy Hall Master Tao was well aware of the Yin and Yang Elder’s particular fondness.

This man was obscure in his youth, and it wasn’t until middle age that he acquired a cultivation technique called “Two Poles of Yin and Yang.”

From then on, as if having found a priceless treasure, he secretly cultivated it.

This cultivation technique had a feature: it replenished one’s body with others’, enriching both yin and yang to build a strong foundation, hence his predilection for training with young boys and girls.

Because it was excessively sinister, wherever the Yin and Yang Elder went, his name was met with contempt, and people pursued him.

After several close brushes with death, he became slightly more restrained and dared not be too blatant.

However, the number of innocent children who died at his hands each year was still countless.

He roamed from place to place until he arrived in Qingyang City, where he was discovered by Deputy Hall Master Tao of Baicao Hall, who coveted his extraordinary martial prowess and was just in need of people at the time.

So, the two parties linked up.

Baicao Hall excelled in medicine preparation and had gathered many unique and talented individuals.

They weren’t particular about the way things were done.

Having them direct their lower-level personnel was enough, freeing the Yin and Yang Elder from having to personally take action.

Both sides got what they needed and collaborated happily.

Since then, not only had the reputation of the Yin and Yang Elder improved.

He even managed to earn himself a good name for being charitable and benevolent.

One can only say that people are ignorant, only knowing what others wish them to know.

They can never see what is really happening in the unknown corners.

“This little girl looks truly exquisite, unlike any I’ve seen in my life.

Just one glance, and I can’t help but think of taking her as my disciple.

Deputy Hall Master Tao, you must find this amusing.”

Although pleased to hear that Deputy Hall Master Tao had already prepared the young children for his healing, the look in the Yin and Yang Elder’s eyes as he gazed at Xiao Jiu was filled with regret.

Extremely reluctant to let go.

“Haha, Great Elder need not be too anxious.

This girl has another use… and can be taken as your disciple after the fact.

There’s no harm in that.”

Deputy Hall Master Tao certainly knew what Mr.

Wen meant by ‘taking in a disciple.’

Just thinking about it made him feel sick.

But after all, he was one of their own powerful martial forces, and he had to be coaxed to avoid any resentment that could lead to trouble: “It is said that Fairy Huaiyu is gentle by nature and not given to aggressive actions.

However, she does have her sore spots, especially her love for her youngest sister…”

At this point, Deputy Hall Master Tao showed a playful smile on his face.

His round and honest chubby face unexpectedly inspired an awe akin to looking up at a towering mountain.

“Everyone thinks that my Baicao Hall is scheming and striving to capture Ninth Miss Lin to pressure Fairy Huaiyu into making concessions, to regain the lost share of elixirs and to take back control of the medicinal herbs business in the Black Mountain area.

Yet no one knows that what the Hall Master actually wants is not just control. freewёbnoνel.com

‘One cannot rest at ease by the side of a sleeping enemy.’ What he wants is everything…”

“This…”

Deputy Hall Master Tao couldn’t be any clearer.

How could everyone present not understand?

This man’s scheme wasn’t about exploiting weaknesses or expanding advantages.

He was aiming for a permanent solution to rid himself of future trouble.

“With Ninth Miss Lin in our hands, Lin Huaiyu will find no success in Baicao Hall, and facing the Hall Master, even if she acts overtly, she will certainly gain no advantage.

Therefore, she will surely investigate in secret and, sooner or later, will find her way to Greenwood Residence.”

“And if she doesn’t find this place?”

The bald man with a horse face holding an iron rod scratched his shiny scalp, feeling thoroughly confused.

Was it somehow a good thing for enemies to come knocking on their door?

But it was Wei Dazui, with a face resembling a pig’s, whose heart was full of clarity.

At that moment his eyebrows twitched as he chimed in humorously, “Even if Third Miss Lin fails to find this place, Hall Master Tao will secretly get the message to her ears…”

“By then, Greenwood Residence will have already become a dragon pool and tiger’s den.”

“The thing is, with the Third Miss Lin’s exquisitely sophisticated sword technique and her formidable combat strength, ordinary people certainly can’t hold her back.”

“Exactly, Mr.

Wei is indeed extraordinary, seeing things clearly.

Since someone like me, Tao, has set up this trap, naturally I wouldn’t be completely unprepared…”

Last night at the Lin Residence battle, the Black Mountain Third Householder [Qing Jiao] lost an arm, and both the Fourth Householder [Du Long] and Fifth Householder [Life-Seizing Scholar] died.

“What do you think, if their chief [Earthshaking Hammer] Gao Jin were to receive this news, would he go into a rage like a madman, muster his elite forces, and personally come down the mountain for revenge?”

“Whoosh…”

Upon hearing the name [Earthshaking Hammer] Gao Jin, this time, even the Yin Yang Elder looked up and paid attention.

A man’s name casts a shadow like a tree.

The Black Mountain Bandits have made such a big name for themselves terrorizing and looting across Qingyang, Wuling, and Changxi’s three counties and even making the official government of these counties powerless against them.

It wasn’t because the Black Mountain Bandits had a large number of soldiers or enough brothers.

The biggest reason is “Earthshaking Hammer” Gao Jin.

This man has immense strength and arms as hard as iron and bronze…

It is said that a single shake of his twin hammers could collapse a mountainside.

In an ordinary battle, once he charges with his hammers like a gust of wind sweeping leaves, none can stand against him.

If he really got serious, even the thickest walls couldn’t withstand several blows from him.

But, having had his fill of good days, Earthshaking Hammer Gao Jin usually favors staying deep in Black Mountain, drinking from large bowls, feasting on big chunks of meat, or enjoying the pleasures of beautiful women.

Anyway, if he needs anything, he just sends his men out to plunder it.

He rarely leaves the mountain.

This time, Tao Fang tempted the Black Mountain Bandits into the trap with elixirs as bait, enchanting their minds with beauty and vast family assets.

On one hand, he relies on their martial strength, sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight;

On the other hand, he also wants to genuinely provoke that black tiger of the mountain.

“What do you think, after [Qing Jiao], with an arm gone and two ribs broken, returns to Black Mountain and after a good crying, would Gao Jin remain indifferent, ignoring the fact that four of his householders had perished in Qingyang City?”

“Four householders?”

Wei Dazui counted carefully in his mind, puzzled, as he could only see three householders.

“There’s also the Sixth Householder Ghost Hand Wu Tian…

He was exterminated by Tian Baoyi along with the Lin Residence Guard Commander Lin Ziqi during an operation at Xiahe Village; his head was cut off on the spot.”

“Could it be…”

“Exactly, the news of Ghost Hand Wu Tian being in Xiahe Village was also deliberately released by me.

This information was not only passed to the Lin Family but secretly leaked to the Yamen as well…

Once these words leave this room, I will deny them, haha.”

With Tao Fang’s words, everyone was convinced and looked at him with a mix of amazement and fear.

This plan of killing two birds, no, three birds with one stone, adroitly manipulated all parties involved to their tune.

Not only did it turn the Black Mountain Bandits into a blade in hand, but it also implicated the Lin Family and Tian Baoyi of the City Guards.

No matter how things unfold, Baicao Hall is set to gain every advantage.

They stand to reap the profits like a fisherman who benefits from the strife of others.

It was as if with a snap of his fingers, formidable enemies would turn to dust, and those skilled in battle would end without fanfare.

The two bald, horse-faced men wielding sticks and swords both laughed in agreement: “We brothers don’t like to use our brains much, whatever Hall Master Tao says, we will follow.”

The Yin Yang Elder had long been accustomed to Tao Fang’s far-sighted planning; listening to his speech, he licked his lips and said, “I only ask that when the time comes, don’t kill that Young Lady Lin on the spot…

Such a beauty would lose much of her charm in death.”

Wei Dazui, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but light up his eyes, swallowing his saliva audibly.
