Chapter 276 The Return of Misty Rain Tower

For True Lord Dexiu and his companion's abrupt conclusion to their actions, Real Person Shuangsu, Real Person Xiuyu, and Shen Wanning were all baffled.

How did Yu Qingtan just appear, say a word, and then the other party backed off?

"Physician Qing, do you know True Lord Dexiu?" Real Person Shuangsu asked, voicing everyone's confusion.

"I guess I know him, but not very well," Yu Qingtan said with a mysterious smile on her face.

Seeing that Yu Qingtan had no intention of explaining, the three didn't press further.

Afterward, Real Person Shuangsu went to contact Qunfang Pavilion and asked them to send a few True Lords to sit in for a period of time.

After leaving the city, Yu Qingtan received a Message-Transmitting Flying Sword from Fang Ling.

Yu Qingtan had Shen Wanning continue her cultivation at the medical hall first.

She also gave Shen Wanning the Hidden Boudoir of Charm. The servant girl Shen Er, previously thrown into it by True Person Wangquan, had become Shen Wanning's maid.

When they were at Tianxiang Pavilion before, neither of them could afford to have a maid. Now it was quite the opposite.

After settling Shen Wanning, Yu Qingtan went to meet Fang Ling on a small hill a hundred miles outside of Blood Puppet Immortal City.

"Hehehe, this young girl's disguise is truly profound, I couldn't see through it at all.

Moreover, she managed to top the Hundred Flowers List and place third on the Pride of the Heavens List at just seventeen years; she definitely possesses tremendous fortune. Becoming dao companions with her would greatly benefit your journey to supreme honor.

Although she claims to be devoted to the great Dao, it's all nonsense. As long as you win her heart, everything else will follow.

Hehehe, a sage once said that the closest road to a female cultivator's heart is the silver road.

Just like that young lady with the jade feet in the Blood Demon Secret Realm; she's certainly devoted to you now.

How about it, do you want Ancestor Blood Xi to lend a hand and make Qing Tan yours?"

At this moment, Ancestor Blood Xi, who was awake, was scheming in Fang Ling's mind again.

Fang Ling couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

"Fang Ling, you've emerged from the Blood God Cult relics, how was your haul?"

"I've reached the late stage of the Golden Core, and I can hope to form my Nascent Soul within two years. What about your cultivation level? How did you end up being the Physician Qing of the Sect of Commoners?"

Fang Ling said with confidence.

With the treasures left by the Blood God Cult and his Universe Light Pearl, it would be hard for him not to advance rapidly.

"I've also just broken through to the late stage of the Golden Core. It seems I need to put in even more effort! I quite like the philosophy and teachings of the Sect of Commoners, so I decided to try and make a go of it there. Are you following Zhen Dexiu because you have some plans for the Blood Shadow Demon Sect?"

Feeling a bit of pressure in the face of Fang Ling's rapid progression, Yu Qingtan, often outperformed in comparison, had to step up.

"I only found out about the Sect of Commoners recently, and I do sympathize with the Loose Cultivators at the bottom. However, I think the ideas of the Sect of Commoners are too hard to realize, and I also need to revive the Blood God Cult.

I indeed plan to implement a cuckoo-occupying-the-nest and borrowing-a-chicken-to-lay-an-egg scheme on the Blood Shadow Demon Sect. It seems we can cooperate on this."

Just then, Ancestor Blood Xi shouted out again in Fang Ling's mind.

"Hehehe, Wei Cangsheng with his grand ambitions, indeed admirable. But unfortunately, dreams are plump, reality is skinny. Even if you become the strongest under the heavens, it would be very difficult to achieve this goal.

Unless before ascending, you truly dominate an era and suppress the world, then there's hope to realize it.

Right now in this Outer Realm, it's all just minor scuffles!"

"Hmm, if you help me block the pressure from the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, I can give you a lot of information about the Extreme Path Demon Sect!"

Yu Qingtan said with a smile.

Fang Ling and Ancestor Blood Xi were both somewhat shocked by Yu Qingtan's tactics.

Yu Qingtan was a True Disciple of the Wendao Sect yet managed to obtain information about the Extreme Path Demon Sect.

"Okay!"

The two discussed their cooperation throughout the night.

"The downfall of the Blood Marionette Demon Sect has been attributed to the actions of the Lotus Gate.

Because they were a step too late, Blood Puppet Immortal City was already secretly seated by True Lords of the Qunfang Pavilion, leaving True Lord Dexiu with no choice but to return."

"The growth of the Sect of Commoners does not pose a significant threat and can be disregarded,"

Yu Qingtan also shared all the intelligence on the Extreme Path Demon Sect with Fang Ling,

including the recent progress of the campaign against the Yunhua Mountain Range.

Actually, the campaign did not go smoothly.

Ten or so Demon Venerables from the Demon Race appeared; although they did not take action, they kept an eye on the God Transformation Honorables of the Extreme Path Demon Sect.

In addition, some Demon Venerables dispatched their Demonic Beasts to vie for the territory of the Bashe Demon Venerable.

There were also some Demon Venerables who secretly sent out Demonic Beasts to support their kin in the battle against the Extreme Path Demon Sect.

As a result, after taking 40% of the Bashe Demon Venerable's territory, the conquest slowed considerably for the Extreme Path Demon Sect.

Twice in half a year, they had to call for additional Cultivators to join the war.

This was one of the main reasons why Yu Qingtan developed the Sect of Commoners within the Extreme Path Demon Sect.

Following the affair with the Blood Marionette Demon Sect, Yu Qingtan shifted the development focus within the sphere of influence of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect,

while the domains of the other three Nascent Soul forces under the Extreme Path Demon Sect—the Yin Corpse Demon Sect, the White Bone Demon Sect, and the Soul Refining Demon Sect—were considered secondary targets for development.

Moreover, he instructed the Sect Members not to abandon their previous work just because they obtained Spirit Stones,

Continue your adventure with empire

unless it was truly an unbearable situation.

That day, Yu Qingtan returned to the clinic outside the Blood Puppet Immortal City and received a message from the Sect Members below.

They had discovered a location suspected of being a branch of Misty Rain Tower.

It turned out that Yu Qingtan had assigned another task to the members of the Sect of Commoners, which was to search for information or the location of Misty Rain Tower's branches.

That day, a Loose Cultivator who had just earned a huge sum of over ten thousand Spirit Stones for referring someone into the Sect, carelessly showed off his wealth and was known to have a notorious enemy.

Thus, that day a "friend" of his offered to introduce an assassin to help him deal with his enemy.

Taking advantage of the situation, he probed and discovered that the "friend" was most likely from the legendary Misty Rain Tower.

This Sect Member immediately reported the information up the chain until it reached Yu Qingtan.

Yu Qingtan instantly became alert,

and made the Sect Member agree, then followed him using the Breath-Concealing Technique and Invisibility Technique.

The Sect Member, following his "friend," entered Blood Puppet Immortal City, and through a series of convoluted turns, entered an inconspicuous alleyway.

At the end of the alley, there was a tavern surprisingly.

Entering the tavern, the Sect Member's friend approached the counter.

"Boss, what kinds of drinks do you have?"

"What would you like to drink?"

"Wine in a luminous cup made bright by a moonlit grape."

"Ah, a connoisseur of wine, come with me."

The boss then led the two through the sparsely populated hall and into the backyard.

In the backyard's reception hall, the boss asked directly, "Who do you want to get rid of?"

"Zhao family's Zhao Tingmei," the Sect Member, already briefed by his "friend," stated the name of his enemy.

"Oh, Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and from the Zhao family, the price won't be low. Since you're new, how about this: twenty thousand Spirit Stones, pay half as a deposit upfront."

"Sure!" The Sect Member agreed readily and paid the Spirit Stones.

"Alright, we will come to you for the balance in three days; have it ready by then."

"No problem!"

And so, a deal for an assassination was agreed upon in just a few words.
