"What do you think?" The young man still wore a calm expression as he spoke to the Dragon Family Patriarch.
The Dragon Family Patriarch pondered seriously for a moment before cautiously saying, "Great-Grandfather, regardless of whether he is an Alchemy genius or not, we cannot abandon our plans. How could he possibly deserve the Daoist Order Decree, such a sacred artifact?"
"However, tomorrow the Gate Master will allow him to enter the Heavenly Sound Secret Realm to listen to the Dao Sound. It seems we won't have time to act," the young man replied, showing a hint of melancholy. He sighed, echoing the Patriarch's words with a tone full of regret.
"That's true. I heard that the Daoist Sect Leader has allowed Ling Mo Xie to reside within the Taoist Sect. Inside the Taoist Sect, we absolutely cannot take action against him!" The Dragon Family Patriarch frowned tightly and said helplessly.
The young man fell silent for a moment, then looked up at the Dragon Family Patriarch and said, "It's true that he resides within the Taoist Sect, but can't we just lure him out?"
Hearing the young man's words, the Dragon Family Patriarch was taken aback for a moment. He then recalled how the Long Family had previously tried to lure Ling Mo Xie out of the city and felt his face flush slightly, unable to speak. After all, that incident had ended poorly for them.
Now hearing the young man suggest luring Ling Mo Xie out again made him feel uncertain, so he naturally did not dare to respond easily.
The young man saw through the Dragon Family Patriarch's thoughts at a glance. He had his own intelligence system in place and was well aware of the rumors that had spread throughout Wen Dao City.
Looking down at the Dragon Family Patriarch, he snorted coldly and said, "What's wrong? Have you become so timid because of what happened last time?"
"This... this... Great-Grandfather, this time we are facing the Taoist Sect. If things go awry, we... we... including you..." The Dragon Family Patriarch spoke hesitantly with a cautious expression.
A flash of dissatisfaction crossed the young man's face as he said, "With such little courage, I really don't know how you became the Dragon Family Patriarch. The last mistake can only be blamed on yourself, but this time is our only opportunity; we cannot let it slip away!"
Hearing the young man's tone grow stern, the Dragon Family Patriarch trembled slightly and dared not say anything further. He could only smile helplessly and say, "Alright, fine... then I'll leave it all to Great-Grandfather's decision; I will definitely follow through."
"That's more like it. My Long Family descendants cannot be cowards. Besides, fortune lies in danger. My influence within the Taoist Sect is subtly declining; if this plan succeeds, I believe there will be no need for the other three families in Wen Dao City to exist," the young man said with a confident smile directed at the Dragon Family Patriarch.
Only then did the Dragon Family Patriarch show a smile as well. Matters concerning the Taoist Sect felt too distant for him; when it came to immediate concerns, he immediately took them seriously. The other three families in Wen Dao City had always been a source of great worry for him.
"Great-Grandfather, time is of the essence; we only have tonight. How do you plan to lure Ling Mo Xie away from the Taoist Sect?"
The Dragon Family Patriarch felt a surge of anticipation and urgency as he asked the young man.
"I received intelligence that Ling Mo Xie is searching for the legendary Entrance to Azure Cloud Valley," the young man replied evasively.
"Then we..." The Dragon Family Patriarch clearly did not fully understand and cautiously looked at the young man.
The young man, no longer concerned about the Dragon Family Patriarch's dullness, glanced at him and said, "Then we will give him an Entrance to Azure Cloud Valley!"
The Dragon Family Patriarch was somewhat stunned; wasn't this helping Ling Mo Xie? Moreover, Azure Cloud Valley was a legendary existence. Even the Taoist Sect could not claim to find the Entrance to Azure Cloud Valley at any time. Furthermore, his Great-Grandfather was merely Elder Three of the Taoist Sect and could not represent its full strength.
The young man looked at the Dragon Family Patriarch with frustration and said, "We really can't get our hands on it, but can't you create a convincing fake?"
With a long sigh, he added, "How could I, Long Yunchou, have such a dim-witted descendant!"
Hearing the young man's words, the Dragon Family Patriarch was naturally displeased. However, in front of the young man, he dared not show any displeasure or arrogance and could only pretend he did not hear it, maintaining a cautious and respectful demeanor.
"Great-Grandfather, please wait. I will go prepare a convincing fake right away," the Dragon Family Patriarch respectfully said to the young man before retreating.
As the Dragon Family Patriarch left, the young man instantly vanished from the room. He would leave this matter to them; if they succeeded, that would be great. If they were exposed, he could easily distance himself from it—at most, he would be blamed for being too lenient.
Although the Dragon Family Patriarch was a formidable head of the Long Family, he clearly lacked the cunning of the young man. He thought to himself that no matter what, Great-Grandfather was still Great-Grandfather; how could he possibly deceive him?
The Long Family truly deserved its reputation as the foremost Big Family in Wen Dao City. In just half an hour, everything was already prepared.
At this moment, Ling Mo Xie stood atop a peak owned by the Grand Elder of the Taoist Sect, gazing out at the night sky. He was lost in thought and had no idea how much time had passed. He wondered how his family was doing; his Grandfather and Grandma were probably...
Ling Mo Xie looked longingly at the starry sky that resembled his hometown's, feeling a gentle breeze brush against his face, bringing a hint of coolness.
At that moment, the ground suddenly shook. Ling Mo Xie’s expression changed, and he instantly snapped out of his homesick thoughts. What was happening? Was there an earthquake in the Cultivation World too?
Having been in this Cultivation World for so long, he had never encountered such a situation. Somewhat confused, Ling Mo Xie stepped out of his room, intending to ask Xu Qingfeng what was going on.
As soon as he stepped outside, he noticed a green shadow appearing in the extremely distant direction.
Ling Mo Xie paused for a moment. Tianzhu Mountain was incredibly high; when he ascended, he had passed through several layers of clouds. Although Lingyun Peak, where the Grand Elder resided, was not as tall as the main peak of Tianzhu Mountain, it was still quite high. Upon closer inspection, the green shadow in the distance turned out to be the top of a tree. It was too far away to be on Lingyun Peak.
If it were at the foot of the mountain, what kind of tree could possibly grow that tall? Even in the Cultivation World, a tree that high would be considered astonishing.
Such a tall tree would almost reach the sky.
“There wasn’t that tree before,” Ling Mo Xie murmured in a daze.
At this time, Hong Chi was sound asleep like a dead pig, and Ling Mo Xie couldn’t ask for his thoughts. As for Shen Yan, this guy was elusive; even in the Taoist Sect, he seemed to come and go without anyone noticing. He could no longer find "Beast Shadow."
Looking at the enormous tree in the distance that seemed to pierce through the sky, Ling Mo Xie felt something unusual. Could it be the Entrance to Azure Cloud Valley mentioned in legends?
He recalled reading in a book that the Entrance to Azure Cloud Valley was a towering tree that could move, which meant that almost no one knew where it was located.
Ling Mo Xie clearly remembered that there hadn’t been that tree before; now it suddenly appeared. Could it have moved here?
Moreover, this tree was so extraordinarily tall that it matched the description of a towering tree perfectly.
Thinking about this, Ling Mo Xie felt restless. The Entrance to Azure Cloud Valley could move, while the Taoist Sect would remain here and wouldn’t move. Therefore, Ling Mo Xie decided to first check out the Entrance to Azure Cloud Valley. If this giant tree moved slowly, he would wait until he used the Daoist Order Decree before going; if it moved relatively quickly for him, he would enter Azure Cloud Valley first since he could use the Daoist Order Decree at any time, but the Entrance to Azure Cloud Valley wouldn’t wait for him.
With these thoughts in mind and feeling anxious, Ling Mo Xie didn’t look for Xu Qingfeng or inform anyone else; he flew directly toward the giant tree.
Since Lingyun Peak could be considered an annex of Tianzhu Mountain and was much shorter than its main peak with some distance between them, Ling Mo Xie didn’t have to pass through any strong winds when leaving; he simply flew through several thick layers of clouds toward the giant tree.
At this moment, the Dragon Family Patriarch had already gathered his people under the tree. This large tree was not the actual Entrance to Azure Cloud Valley; they did not have the ability to locate the Entrance to Azure Cloud Valley.
If they truly had that capability, they would not be waiting in Wen Dao City but would have gone directly to Azure Cloud Valley, which is also known as the Celestial Realm and is not inferior to the Taoist Sect.
This tree was merely an illusion created by the Long Family using their own Spiritual Energy combined with a formation. Although it was an illusion, it appeared very real and did not seem ethereal at all, as if it truly had a physical presence, which was enough to lure Ling Mo Xie over.
Ling Mo Xie's flying speed was not slow, and he quickly arrived near the large tree. Up close, the tree was even taller than he had imagined, its canopy seemingly blocking out the sky.
Just as he was getting closer to the tree, Ling Mo Xie suddenly stopped, feeling that something was off.
Ling Mo Xie murmured, "Something feels wrong. The book says this tree is moving, but this one in front of me seems to have just appeared out of nowhere. If such a large tree were moving towards me, I should have noticed it long ago or at least heard rumors about its appearance nearby."
While Ling Mo Xie was puzzled and hesitating, someone from the Long Family under the tree spotted him and quickly reported to the Dragon Family Patriarch.
Upon hearing this news, the Dragon Family Patriarch was delighted. His Great-Grandfather truly had a way! Last time they tried to devise a plan to lure Ling Mo Xie out of the city, it ended up being a complete failure and became a laughingstock among the common people of Wen Dao City.
However, this time, according to his Great-Grandfather's plan, it succeeded on the first try. Indeed, experience counts!
What he did not realize was that his Great-Grandfather had calculated everything for the Long Family as well, leaving himself an escape route.
