Purple Cloud Residence.
Third-floor elegant chamber.
Three men drank and swapped cups, their faces flushed with a rosy glow.
A few women, either timid or charming in their demeanor, attentively served them, advising on drinks and arranging dishes with care.
To the public eye, this refined chamber was a tavern opened by a wealthy merchant from afar, catering to an upscale clientele of well-to-do young masters and prominent nobles.
The Purple Cloud Residence was renowned in Qingyang for its elegant atmosphere, attentive service, and even its exquisite food, which naturally made for thriving business.
To say it earned a pot of gold daily might be an exaggeration.
But the speed at which it amassed wealth was certainly rapid.
Many envied the tavern owner, Wang Fengxi, for his shrewd management and profound connections.
Yet no one knew that the true mastermind behind this place was actually the Qingyang County Captain, Tian Shouyi.
Whenever there were important matters or guests in the shadows, he would come here to meet.
“In my view, with Elder Xiao nearing the Perfection of the Five Viscera Realm and about to achieve the cultivation of Pill Qi, and Hall Master Deng restraining them from the side…
Even if they were to attack head-on, Lin Huaiyu, no matter how brave, would hardly escape with his life.
Why bother getting Tian Someone involved?” Tian Shouyi said, feigning reluctance.
Yet the expression on his face was one of joy, clearly believing he had gotten himself an excellent deal.
Dealing with a concubine daughter disregarded by the Guangyun Lin Clan, while becoming entangled with the Lishan Sword Sect, indeed seemed a very worthwhile affair.
Not only was there no longer any concern about the armed encirclement of Qingyang,
but it also meant he could easily pass scrutiny in front of the Imperial Inspector.
It was very likely that, before long, he would advance another step.
Perhaps in the eyes of the common folk, officials like him were untouchable, not at all compatible with the people of Jianghu or prestigious Sects.
But having climbed to his current position with much difficulty.
He knew all too well that Jianghu wasn’t just about fighting and slaying but also about connections and worldly wisdom.
Just as it was in Jianghu, so it was in the government.
The influence and power of the Seven Great Sects far exceeded what ordinary people could imagine…
And their reach extended not just into the marketplace but had also quietly probed into the government.
But these are matters that common folk neither speak of nor would believe if spoken.
Elder Xiao Changhe stroked his beard with a faint smile, pressed his hand against the hilt of the Gold-Patterned Sword at his waist, and shook his head with a sigh, “I’m afraid I’m not yet an elder, County Warden.
You mustn’t misaddress me, lest others mock.”
He took a sip from the cup a timid woman had brought him, with the warmth of a delicate jade in his arms, feeling quite pleased, and then said, “The dispute over medicinal materials was never too important.
However, Hall Master Deng wishes to use this merit to exchange for the Sect’s Revitalizing Pill to cure his lingering illness, which indeed is important.
After this matter succeeds, I’ll need Hall Master Deng’s people from the Baicao Hall and your soldiers, Country Warden, to fully search every mountain and ridge within Qingyang Territory, without overlooking any suspicious locations, to uncover that secret realm.”
“If we really do seize the opportunity, what you both would gain may be more substantial than you can imagine.”
Elder Xiao Changhe grew serious as he continued, “Keep in mind, this time, Yin Wushang, the true disciple of the Sect’s Yin Moon Hall, has personally come here, and there can be no room for failure.”
“Is the Five Desires Demon really that important?”
This time, it was Baicao Hall Master Deng Yuanhua, who had been silent all along, showing a puzzled look on his face.
He had always devoted himself fully to managing Baicao Hall, mainly cultivating Revitalizing and Sun Chasing Pills, of which the majority was offered up to the Lishan Sword Sect.
His aim was to make up for the regret of foundation damage suffered in his early years and to rejuvenate his body.
This had become a sickness in his heart.
No one knew the agony of countless days and nights, yearning for something in his heart, yet unable to be mentioned openly.
Remembering the first graceful figure he saw in the Sect, he felt both hatred and dread.
Just let his body recover, improve his cultivation significantly, and when the time comes for revenge…
he would take it.
Some matters were not beyond planning and plotting.
For this purpose, he didn’t mind at all being the sharpest blade.
Ready to do whatever was asked of him,
Even if it meant, being someone else’s dog.
“What do you think?
Why would the Red Lotus Sect target Qingyang, which is in such a remote location, of all places?”
Were it not for the discovery of the Five Desires Demon’s traces, locking down an area of hundreds of miles, they wouldn’t have taken such action.
In those days, the Demonic Sect was so imposing, so fierce— obtaining even one of their teachings would be something nine out of ten martial artists in the world wouldn’t mind risking their lives for.”
“I see,” Deng Yuanhua began to understand.
The Suppression Prison Demon Sect disappeared from Jianghu after a catastrophe scattered its ancient elders…
Its sect scriptures have never resurfaced in Jianghu.
It is said that several core disciples stole and hid them away.
The core scripture of the sect, the Suppression Prison Subduing Demon Scripture, was moreover turned into various legends.
Sometimes it was said that a secret realm was discovered, at other times that someone mastered the scripture and caused endless slaughter.
Although, the various rumors were proven to be baseless every time.
But there was one piece of news that no one denied.
That is…
Whenever there was a sighting of the Five Desires Demon, it was certain that the Suppression Prison Subduing Demon Scripture wouldn’t be far away.
The Suppression Prison Subduing Demon Scripture is rather magical with an extremely peculiar method of cultivation, and it can even infect the hearts of people.
Those who can suppress the desires of the heart can cultivate the terrifying and powerful Divine Elephant Suppression Prison Body.
If one fails to suppress the desires of the heart and is merely influenced by the scripture from afar, they will turn into an ignorant Five Desires Demon, knowing only destruction and slaughter.
Thus, this demonic practice is also called the Five Desires Demon Scripture in the Jianghu.
In fact, whether it’s the Righteous Faction, the Evil Sect, the Demonic Sect, or any other sect, faced with such a divine skill that directly targets the source, how many can resist the temptation to be greedy?
And nobody believes they lack self-control to the point where they would practice the wrong technique and turn into a devil, do they?
It’s just a shame that the Five Desires Demon is not only hard to kill but also hard to find.
Hiding among the common folk, if they pretend to be human they seem human, if they impersonate a ghost they seem like a ghost, without a dragnet it’s nearly impossible to find their exact traces.
This is also exactly why Xiao Changhe wanted to cooperate with Qingyang County Captain Tian Shouyi.
He was particularly unwilling to let Baicao Hall’s thousands of men be defeated and taken in…
As long as the goal was achieved, with the backup of the true disciple Yin Wushang, any price could be paid.
It’s not just a matter of some daughter from the Lin Family, even if a legitimate son of the Lin Family were to come to Qingyang City, wanting to spoil their plans would mean their death, with no room for negotiation. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
The three people spoke without any concealment.
The several attendants, however, were getting paler as they listened.
One of the young women, with a petite figure and looking quite young, couldn’t help but tremble all over, her teeth clattering, as she collapsed to the ground and pleadingly said, “My lords, please spare us, we are not gossips, we will certainly keep our mouths shut.”
She was clever indeed, bowing in the direction of Tian Shouyi.
“Ah, why do you have to be so clever?
Wouldn’t it be better to play the fool?
What a pity…”
A flicker of reluctance passed through Tian Shouyi’s eyes.
These women were able to earn him silver, and to lose several of them in one sitting, even though his family’s fortune was vast and he had silver in spades, felt somewhat wasteful.
Amidst his sighs,
He flicked his finger.
The wine cup in front of him shattered into countless white specks, entering the hearts of the three women.
“Let’s agree on this, once Young Master Yin arrives in Qingyang City, Tian Someone will surely cooperate fully.
I hope you won’t forget today’s promise to lend Tian Someone a helping hand.”
He stood up, his brows revealing a bit of ferocity as he grinned, “Young Master Yin hasn’t come over yet.
If you want Tian Someone to take the heat, leading the troops in the vanguard, to surround and kill Lin Huaiyu, that’s not going to happen.
A word of advice, don’t let that woman break through to the Perfection of the Five Viscera Realm; otherwise, under the Ninth Turning of Wave Subduing Blade Qi, we’ll all suffer the consequences.”
“Of course, if we make a move, it must strike like thunder—swift and potent.
We have the patience for that.
Let’s postpone for a while, leaving her alive for now.
It’s a shame, such a beautiful woman,”
Lust flashed in Xiao Changhe’s eyes as he pushed away the corpse of the woman who had fallen onto him, picked up the wine cup, poured a drink for himself, and started to drink without even rising to see Tian Shouyi off.
