Chapter 887: Chapter 333: Scheme Within a Scheme, Anomalous Fire Evolution, Spatial Transformation (Ten-Thousand-Word Combined Chapter)
Cao Xiang’er explained so much.
It was merely to let Fu Changsheng know the benefits of advancing to a Seventh-Grade Noble Family.
Fu Changsheng naturally understood that the other party was giving him a hint and felt quite grateful, so he asked about some information related to the Yun Family.
Judging from various signs,
the Yun Family has a good reputation in Jingzhou and is not very harsh on the major noble families under its jurisdiction.
Cao Xiang’er said:
"Fu Clan Leader, are you thinking of an alliance with the Yun Family?"
"No."
Fu Changsheng shook his head, seeing that Cao Xiang’er was not really an outsider, he immediately told her about the invitation from Elder Yun to explore a secret matter.
Cao Xiang’er heard this, furrowing her brows:
"In Jingzhou, Tang Yunfeng from the Tang Family possesses an Anomalous Fire and ranks above you on the Anomalous Fire leaderboard. Though the Tang Family keeps it tightly under wraps, how could the Yun Family not know, being a Seventh-Grade Noble Family? Moreover, the Tang Family and Yun Family have marital ties; why would Elder Yun make such a circuitous move?"
Fu Changsheng’s body shuddered.
It seems he has been targeted by Elder Yun, yet he recalls that he has no dealings with the Yun Family and has not provoked them. Why would he be targeted out of the blue, with the other party even offering a real hidden treasure as bait? This clearly indicates that once he enters, there’s no way out.
In an instant,
a thought flashed through his mind.
Suddenly,
an idea passed fleetingly.
Thinking of this,
Fu Changsheng felt a chill all over.
Cao Xiang’er saw this and said:
"Fu Clan Leader, have you thought of something?"
Fu Changsheng took a deep breath.
This matter is of great importance.
After confirming once again that the array in the council hall was securely sealed, he said:
"Lord Cao, to be honest, years ago, my elder brother’s daughter was abducted by Master Yun’s grandson from the Joy Sect. I struck back and saved Yongwei. Later, when Master Yun discovered it was me, he secretly sent Purple Mansion disciples to assassinate me, all of whom I eliminated one by one. I haven’t been in Jingzhou for long, and the deepest enmity I could have encountered would surely be with the Joy Sect’s Master Yun. So I have a bold guess."
"Are you saying that Elder Yun is a mole that Master Yun planted in Jingzhou?"
"Almost certainly. Molan recently intercepted some Purple Mansion influence from the Joy Sect planted in Jingzhou, all pointing towards the Yun Family. That Master from the Joy Sect fears our Fu Family will grow stronger with backing from the Seven Commandery Prince’s Mansion, thus laying this trap."
Cao Xiang’er’s eyes darkened upon hearing this:
"If that’s the case, then we’ll have to plan carefully."
....
The Yun Family.
Elder Yun sat cross-legged in a secret chamber at the back of the mountain.
As the three-day period drew near, Fu Changsheng still showed no sign of action:
"This Fu Changsheng, he can resist such a great temptation!"
Elder Yun didn’t believe it.
Moreover,
in these three days’ time,
Fu Changsheng should have learned that their Yun Family is the beacon of the righteous path.
Over the years, to establish a virtuous image, he had put in much effort. Even if the World Suppression Bureau came, they wouldn’t find a trace.
He had been able to subtly lurk in Jingzhou for nearly two hundred years, so naturally, he could wait these few days.
Elder Yun, calm as a still water, closed his eyes once more.
After several hours,
Buzz!
A sudden, urgent buzzing came from his body. Looking down, Elder Yun’s lips curled into a smile:
"The fish has taken the bait."
Elder Yun left the mountain without a sound and headed west. After about half an hour, he reached the peak of Niutou Mountain. A while later, a rainbow light sped over from afar, and as the glow faded, it was undoubtedly Fu Changsheng.
Elder Yun scanned with his Divine Sense,
confirming that Fu Changsheng indeed came alone:
"Fu Clan Leader, time is of the essence. Let’s go."
Elder Yun led Fu Changsheng on a flight to the west. After several days, they turned north, moving in circles almost forming a large loop. Only after repeatedly using the Invisibility Technique and seeing some impatience on Fu Changsheng’s face did he say:
"Fellow Daoist Fu, please don’t take offense."
"I do this for the safety of both of us, to prevent any flies from noticing and ruining our good fortune."
Finally, Elder Yun stopped at Old Jade Mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, he set up a Secret Array, which, when opened, revealed a small Teleportation Array.
Fu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Clan Leader Yun, is the location of the Cave Mansion you mentioned outside of Jingzhou?"
"Fu Clan Leader, you’ll know shortly."
This is so thorough.
Even if someone traced us, they surely couldn’t catch up.
Elder Yun smiled warmly:
"Fu Clan Leader, please."
Fu Changsheng hesitated for a moment. Before setting off, he had already informed Cao Xiang’er of the Cave Mansion’s location, Hidden Spirit Mountain, which was at the border of the Land of the Far West. By this time, she should have set up an ambush.
Furthermore,
he had the Cyan Flood Dragon and the Talisman Treasure bestowed by the Commandery Prince. As long as Master Yun didn’t come in person, there was no danger for him.
So he stepped into the Teleportation Array.
As Elder Yun cast a Technique into the array, with a buzzing sound, a dazzling Spirit Light rose, and the two of them disappeared from the spot.
About half a cup of tea’s time later,
Liuu Meizhen and Cui Zhi appeared at the scene.
Cui Zhi took a look at the teleportation array and frowned:
"Mother, this is a one-way Teleportation Array, and it won’t be usable again for several months. What should we do?"
All clues ended here.
Liuu Meizhen remained calm and collected:
"Let’s go. We’ll take people to covertly head to the Yun Family’s domain to meet Molan."
Once they obtained evidence that Elder Yun was the mole from Master Yun, it would be time to annihilate the entire Yun Family.
