Huangmei Daoist has joined the battle, teaming up with Zhao Centipede and Rosen to confront Ye Nanzhai. The situation for the Red Robe Sect is becoming increasingly dire. If anything were to happen to Ye Nanzhai, the entire Red Robe Sect in the East Sea would suffer, potentially marking the beginning of its demise.
Although Lu Chen has not participated in the battle, he is highly aware of the situation. He understands the critical importance of ensuring Ye Nanzhai's safety, so he thinks of every possible way to create an opportunity for him.
Huangmei Daoist has hidden Flesh nearby, certainly not too far from here. Lu Chen thinks to himself that if he can find Huangmei Daoist's Flesh and destroy it, it would undoubtedly relieve a lot of pressure from Ye Nanzhai.
However, Huangmei Daoist has put considerable effort into concealing Flesh, making it unlikely to be found easily. If he first enters a state of Unity of Man and then Yin Spirit Disembodiment, there would be almost no chance of locating it. Searching aimlessly inch by inch in this forested terrain filled with vegetation could take forever.
Lu Chen feels incredibly anxious and powerless regarding the current situation.
Just as Lu Chen is worried, Killing, Huang Jiao, and Chu Yuzhu arrive above Mountain Valley and stand together with Yellow Scorpion Master and others.
Killing and the others gaze at Zhao Centipede's Flesh sitting on the ground and begin to laugh, as if they have some scheme in mind. Especially Killing, who eagerly licks his lips, clearly coveting Zhao Centipede's Flesh with intentions of plunder.
Yellow Scorpion Master and Lu Chanchu glare at Killing and his group, their vigilance heightened to the extreme. The atmosphere between both sides becomes somewhat tense.
Although they are on the same side, this so-called alliance is only a temporary arrangement. If absolute benefits are at stake, there is no doubt that both sides would act selfishly at any moment.
"If they can turn against each other, that would be best."
Lu Chen observes the tension between Killing's group and Yellow Scorpion Master’s group. At this moment, he wishes that these so-called Alliance Army members could turn on each other and weaken their own strength. However, reality never unfolds as one hopes.
Both sides are already on edge; Chu Yuzhu and Huang Jiao are ready to strike but are stopped by Killing, who possesses a strong will and understands the stakes.
Killing says, "Princess, hold on. This is not the time for infighting. Although Zhao Centipede's Flesh is valuable, I have already successfully taken over a body and no longer need it. There’s no point in seizing it; we shouldn't harm the harmony of the Alliance Army. If the court finds out later, we will be in a difficult position to defend ourselves."
Yellow Scorpion Master scowls and retorts, "Brat, you really overestimate yourself. How dare you call out Zhao Centipede Brother's name so casually?"
Killing glanced at his own Flesh and suddenly realized that if he had not taken over a new body, the other party might recognize him and would not call him Brat. But now, with a changed Flesh and a completely different appearance, he truly resembled a young master of seventeen or eighteen years.
Killing had a great temperament and did not become angry because of this; instead, he smiled mysteriously and said, "May I ask if you two are the Yellow Scorpion Master and Senior Lu Chanchu from the Three Poisons Wanderer of the Eastern Sea? That person over there should be He Yingqing, the leader of the Black Fist Sect, and that master is Master Ruyin, known as the Herculean Monk from Eastern Shaolin." Killing pointed out both He Yingqing and Great Strength Monk.
"Amitabha Buddha," Great Strength Monk murmured, bowing his head.
The Yellow Scorpion Master and others were astonished. If they were well-known figures in the martial world, it would not be surprising for someone familiar with them to recognize them. However, this young man before them was no more than twenty years old yet could name them and even their titles, which left them feeling shocked.
There was only one possibility: this young man was either a powerful figure from Yin Zhen or had undergone reincarnation through Corpse Dissolution. In any case, his strength was certainly not as simple as it appeared.
"I am an unknown person, just a minor character, so I will not reveal myself before you all. After all, we are all from Star Gate, affiliated with Korean House," Killing referred to himself as well as Huang Jiao and Chu Yuzhu.
Upon hearing this, He Yingqing and others looked puzzled. Killing concealed his background very deeply, especially since he mentioned that they were from Star Gate and affiliated with Korea.
The Korean Chu Family was a regional power. Although it no longer had the same overwhelming presence as before, it still governed the Western Seven States and controlled three hundred thousand households. When the Great Zhou Dynasty eventually collapsed, the Korean Chu Family was the most powerful contender with the best chance to claim dominance in Central Plains.
The Qi Kingdom and Giant Barbarian Island had established a mutually dependent relationship, while Korea had long secretly connected with countries like Gaochang and Luzhan in the northwest of Central Plains. Besides open trade interactions, no one knew what clandestine dealings were taking place behind the scenes.
"Has Star Gate also gotten involved with Imperial Authority? If this news gets out, who knows what kind of waves it will cause?" He Yingqing gasped upon hearing Killing's words, filled with uncertainty as he muttered to himself.
His words were initially meant for Yellow Scorpion Master and others, but suddenly he became aware of Great Strength Monk's presence and quickly fell silent, fearing he might inadvertently reveal too much.
If those present were to classify friends and foes based on true positions, Great Strength Monk would be a common enemy of both Qi Kingdom and Korea. This was because Great Strength Monk belonged to Eastern Shaolin, which served as an insurance against the downfall of the Great Zhou Court; as long as Eastern Shaolin remained intact, the Great Zhou Court would continue to stand strong.
The atmosphere in the room shifted dramatically due to He Yingqing's words. Those who initially intended to seize Zhao Centipede's Flesh now found themselves in a playful exchange with Yellow Scorpion Master and others. They nearly joined forces to eliminate Great Strength Monk first.
“Amitabha Buddha”
The Great Strength Monk did not shy away from the fact that he might be targeted. With a calm expression, he said, “What are you all doing? Now that things have come to this point, I might as well reveal a bit of information for you all to know. The Defender Prince has united many experts to eliminate bandits, but the ultimate goal is not the Red Robe Sect; it points to something else.”
Upon hearing this news, it was the others who became worried. The Yellow Scorpion Master and Killing exchanged shocked glances, unable to express their feelings.
The Great Zhou Court is launching an eastern expedition, and its ultimate goal is not the Red Robe Sect?
This news was incredibly shocking for those in the Alliance Army; they felt as if they had been deceived.
“May I ask Master Ruyin, is this true?” Killing stared at the Great Strength Monk and asked directly.
The Great Strength Monk joined his hands together, recited a scripture silently, took a deep breath, and said, “A monk does not speak falsehoods. If it were not for confidentiality, the Defender Prince would have likely informed all Major Sects and feudal states in the Secret Letter.”
Everyone's gaze focused on the Great Strength Monk. His sincere expression did not seem like that of someone lying. However, monks often have such expressions; at this moment, with his words coming out, who could tell what was true or false?
“Hmph, Master Ruyin, do you have any evidence for such claims? One must know that hearing is false; seeing is believing,” Killing said ominously, as if he would pounce on the monk and strike him dead if he could not provide evidence.
Of course, that was impossible. No matter how powerful Killing was, he still lacked the means to contend with a Third-Stage Qi Master, a strong practitioner of Divine Power Body whose bones were as hard as steel and whose blood flowed like mercury—this was no empty boast.
“Evidence? Over there is evidence,” the Great Strength Monk pointed towards the bottom of Mountain Valley and said to everyone.
Killing and the Yellow Scorpion Master walked to the edge of Mountain Valley and looked down. They saw Eighty Copper Man Disciples using Dharma Staffs to create Iron Silk nets to encircle ten Drake Bat Cubs. Upon seeing this scene, they were instantly shocked.
“Sky Dragon Bat, Sui Mo Su Family; it seems we have all been deceived,” Killing said to everyone.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned very grim. They were fighting here and there, calculating against each other, yet in reality, they were the ones truly being fought against and manipulated, completely unaware of it.
This feeling was akin to a mantis stalking a cicada while a yellow bird lay in wait behind.
"Everyone, please remain calm," the Great Strength Monk comforted from the side, adding, "The situation is not as serious as you all think. This operation against the bandits is merely a distraction; it is actually a contest between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Demon King Dynasty. The Defender Prince did not directly reveal this in the Secret Letter because the information needs to be kept confidential. Once this matter is resolved, he will certainly seek an imperial decree from the emperor to clarify the situation."
"What should we do now?" Killing glanced at the battle in the sky, where flashes of lightning and roaring sounds indicated how intense the conflict was.
"Amitabha Buddha, General Rosen was too impulsive and disrupted the entire plan. But who can go up tens of thousands of feet into the air to inform them that they can temporarily cease hostilities? After all, eliminating the Red Robe Sect is secondary; the primary goal is to preserve our strength to confront the Su Family," said the Great Strength Monk.
Who among the Qi Masters could fly up tens of thousands of feet? Unless one possessed a Nether War Armor.
Lu Chen hid on a hillside, eavesdropping on the conversation of the Great Strength Monk and others, confirming his suspicions. The Great Zhou Court's operation against the bandits was, in fact, a conspiracy—a grand scheme targeting both the Demon King Dynasty and the Su Family. Using misdirection, they were determined to crush the Sky Dragon Bat nurtured by the Su Family in the East China Sea before it could take flight.
He had long suspected that the anti-bandit operation was merely a facade, but suspicion remained just that—suspicion. Now that he had overheard confirmation from the Great Strength Monk himself, his conjecture had proven correct.
However, now he wondered how they would pull back from this situation.
