Chapter 1384: Chapter 79: Cunning Schemes Sow Discord
Rong Junzhong returned to the Xuanyue Formation, Sect Leader Yang Shuyong took the initiative to greet him, laughing heartily, "Master Rong has won three consecutive battles, my Xuanyue’s great matter is complete."
Rong Junzhong bowed and said, "Sect Leader Master, only when the prohibitions are set will it truly be foolproof."
Yang Shuyong nodded and said, "That’s right, I have already arranged it, in an hour it will be secure, the two sects will unite, Master Rong should be credited with the first merit."
The elder envoy of the sect, Chunyu Ji, then came forward and said, "Sect Leader, should we send someone to challenge again?"
Rong Junzhong glanced over and said, "No need, just follow the previous strategy."
Chunyu Ji remained standing still, just looking towards Yang Shuyong.
Yang Shuyong reprimanded him, "Why aren’t you following what Master Rong instructed?"
Chunyu Ji replied yes, bowed, and then strode away.
Yang Shuyong chuckled and said, "Now we can just watch the show."
On the Pu Lao Flying Carriage, Sect Leader Qiao was perplexed by the situation, but this matter could not be decided by him alone, so he ordered several elders to discuss together.
The two of them pondered for half a moment, but failed to find a clue.
Elder Qin murmured softly, "To emerge only after being placed in a desperate situation, but where is the path to survival?" He walked outside a few steps, looked at the distant mountains, and muttered, "Could it be that the way out is outside, not inside?"
Mrs. Zhao heard him and her heart shook, she immediately thought of the Python Clan, and pondered, "Could it be that it’s fate, that the Python Clan is supposed to assist me?"
At this moment, suddenly, a rainbow light came from Xuanyue.
Including Sect Leader Qiao, the three of them felt their hearts sink, Xuanyue sending people at this moment, likely to challenge again, if it’s someone else it’s fine, but if Rong Junzhong comes again, who should they send to resist him?
Elder Lin timidly said, "Even if Rong Junzhong comes again, what’s there to fear, at most we all mount a joint effort, can he possibly defeat us all together?"
Elder Yan shook his head and said, "If several people go up together, Xuanyue would not stand idly by, it would be a chaotic fight, and our Zhongtai would not have a great chance of victory."
Elder Bai sighed and said, "Senior Brother is correct, but now even hoping for a final fight isn’t possible. Those recruited outer practitioners, if they see our Zhongtai’s decline, how many would truly put forth effort? If not restricted by the contract, and the assembly unfinished, unable to leave without permission, they’d have likely run away clean."
As they spoke, the Xuanyue cultivator had already arrived nearby, unexpectedly, he did not come to declare war but loudly said, "Sect Leader Qiao, Elders of Zhongtai, the Sect Leader ordered me to come and inquire, True Master Du has been defeated, would Zhongtai admit defeat in this battle?"
Without waiting for anyone to reply, he turned his body and spoke to the cultivators on both sides of the Dharma platform, "Fellow Daoists, my Xuanyue will seal the exit of Mianxing Mountain tomorrow, but we bear no grudge against you, if you wish to leave, tonight you may swiftly depart, do not self-deceive."
Hearing these words, a commotion arose among the outer practitioners.
Confronting someone head-on, they still have some confidence, but if surrounded by a forbidden array, they would be trapped here.
They came only for profit, unwilling to be caught in this dead end with Zhongtai.
At that moment, a chime sounded, the crowd looked in surprise, only to see Ancestor Hui Xuan riding a cloud arriving below the Pu Lao Flying Carriage, bowing and said, "Brother Daoist Qiao, since the Old Daoist has already said he will not interfere in the matters of the two sects, I cannot stay long, and thus bid farewell."
Sect Leader Qiao was helpless, knowing he already intended to leave, unable to keep him, sighed, and returned the salute, "Fellow Daoist, safe travels, I won’t see you off."
Elder Yan snorted coldly.
Ancestor Hui Xuan pretended not to hear, discreetly glanced at Mrs. Zhao, then with a flourish of his sleeve, took the child and disciples and quickly left with the wind.
Yang Shuyong saw this scene, ecstatically said, "Good, good, Hui Xuan’s departure thoroughly shakes people’s hearts, everyone can see Zhongtai’s doom, Master Rong truly has a good strategy."
Rong Junzhong smiled slightly and said, "Though Zhongtai’s recruited cultivators have suffered many casualties, over ten remain, among them are cultivators like Daoist Zhang at the Nascent Soul Second Realm, if it’s said that these people are willing to serve Zhongtai, Rong does not believe it, at this moment opening a path, if things go smoothly, we can remove more than half without bloodshed, if Zhongtai tries to block them, we don’t need to step forward, they themselves will cause a commotion."
As he expected, after Hui Xuan left, all cultivators felt Zhongtai could no longer defeat Xuanyue, the promised rewards were to be earned by defeating Xuanyue’s disciples and elders, but where is such an opportunity now? Not being implicated by Zhongtai is already good, all were thinking about how to escape and leave early, jump out of this quagmire.
