Chapter 733: Chapter 338: Proposal for Alliance and United Front Value
“This arrangement by Sect Leader Yan now suggests he has some foresight about future difficulties… Wouldn’t he make some preparations?”
This Sect Leader Yan arranged for both Elder Han and Xie Qingxue to protect his son Yan Wushuang.
By now… The choices made by Elder Han and Xie Qingxue have all been beneficial to Yan Wushuang.
This shows that this Sect Leader Yan is definitely not a reckless person.
“Preparations?”
“What could give Sect Leader Yan the confidence to contend with the Four Sects or the four Ancestor Masters of the Tianhe Sect?” Zheng Fa said softly, “Or maybe, Sect Leader Yan’s preparations are the reason for the Tianhe Sect’s downfall?”
“…Array Formation?”
Xie Qingxue finally understood what Zheng Fa had been implying all along.
“Indeed, the ‘Nine Reincarnation Golden Core Method’ is miraculous, but you and I have both practiced it and know it is not enough to contend with Dao Fruit cultivators, let alone the Four Sects,” Zheng Fa nodded, “If my speculation is correct, the Tianhe Sect’s array formations used to be incredibly powerful.”
“And if Sect Leader Yan knew about this.”
“He couldn’t possibly ignore it.”
Xie Qingxue listened, looked pensive, and finally understood Zheng Fa’s meaning: “It’s even possible that my Master wants to perfect the array formations, which is why it has attracted the actions of the Four Sects or even the Ancestor Masters.”
“Of course, this is just speculation. But…” Zheng Fa smiled, “Even if Sect Leader Yan is not interested in array formations, wouldn’t the assurance be greater if supported by them?”
Xie Qingxue was invigorated, finally understanding the unspoken part of Zheng Fa’s words: “You want to use the array formations of Haori Mountain to bargain with my Master?”
“Precisely! According to the ‘Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation’, Haori Mountain must have utilized the original array formations of the Tianhe Sect to refine the Immortal Trapping Sword.”
Actually, Zheng Fa’s confidence in the Tianhe Sect’s formations is much greater than Xie Qingxue imagined.
The Slaying Immortal Sword Formation… its reputation is thunderous!
Haori Mountain wanting to refine the Immortal Trapping Sword couldn’t possibly abandon the Tianhe Sect’s approach.
Previously, when Zheng Fa’s Feiyun Sword triggered the strange movement of the Immortal Trapping Sword, it indicated that the essence of the Immortal Trapping Sword had not been altered by Haori Mountain.
“If the Tianhe Sect didn’t have this array transmission, then I wonder… would Sect Leader Yan be interested?” Zheng Fa said softly, “Of course, in ‘Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation’, only part of the original Tianhe Sect’s formation might be present.”
“What do you want?”
Xie Qingxue pondered for a while before asking.
“I want the refining method of the Immortal Trapping Sword! Or rather, the cultivation method related to the Tianhe Sect’s Immortal Trapping Sword!”
Xie Qingxue slowly widened her eyes, looked at the Qingping Sword in the hall, thought of the past, and instantly understood what Zheng Fa meant: “You want to refine the Immortal Trapping Sword?”
“Of course not now. My cultivation is only at the Golden Core stage in the Chongxuan Sect, so all I can do is first learn the ‘Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation’ and imprint spells into Spirit Stones to set up arrays.”
Currently, Zheng Fa at Chongxuan Sect is still handling some marginal tasks:
Just slowly imprinting Spirit Stones and helping Shi Nandang and the others set up the Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation.
To refine the Immortal Trapping Sword, his status and cultivation level are inadequate; he can only assist the Divinity Transformation members.
To approach the Immortal Trapping Sword, he must make further progress.
He cannot even prevent the Immortal Trapping Sword from being refined… Now that the Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation is preliminarily set up, it just hasn’t linked up with the Hundred Immortals Alliance’s ley lines, but dismantling this bomb is not easy.
And what Zheng Fa is thinking is not just to eliminate the threat of the Immortal Trapping Sword, but to lure it to the Jiushan Sect.
… Who told Haori Mountain to carelessly toss the Immortal Trapping Sword around?
Observing the Qingping Sword, it’s evident that the corresponding cultivation technique significantly impacts the Magical Treasure, even if the Immortal Trapping Sword has been suppressed by Haori Mountain for an era, it’s still made by the Tianhe Sect.
Acquiring the cultivation technique related to the Immortal Trapping Sword to allure it is like old love rekindling, even after hundreds of thousands of years.
Moreover, with Zheng Fa having the True Inheritance Technique of Haori Mountain.
Even if the Immortal Trapping Sword has nearly taken the shape of Haori Mountain, Zheng Fa can still say:
The form you love, I have it all.
The only issue is whether these terms are enough to entice Sect Leader Yan.
Recalling the power of the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, Zheng Fa is fifty percent confident—once Sect Leader Yan knows about this sword formation, there’s no way he wouldn’t be tempted, the only reason he might refuse is if the Tianhe Sect already has this array formation inheritance.
Zheng Fa is quite skeptical of this, the Four Sects wouldn’t be foolish enough to leave such a powerful sword formation with the Tianhe Sect.
Xie Qingxue thought it over and slowly nodded: “I cannot fathom my Master’s thinking; I need to investigate… Rest assured, if there’s a chance, I will do my best to persuade my Master.”
Zheng Fa could see that Xie Qingxue didn’t completely believe in the power of the array he spoke of; now likely seeing it as the last straw for the Tianhe Sect, while also potentially desiring to help resolve the Immortal Trapping Sword crisis for the Jiushan Sect.
Xie Qingxue did not delay, and after discussing with the two, she flew towards Jiushan Realm.
Zheng Fa watched her leave and said to Zhang, “I will probably stay at the Chongxuan Sect for some time.”
Being valued by Shi Nandang is naturally a good thing, but compared to before, it’s somewhat inconvenient—luckily, he could “plunder” the Hundred Immortals Alliance, finding opportunities to return to Jiushan Sect.
“Indeed… You’ve sold the secret of Haori Mountain’s array dao to the Tianhe Sect, so of course you have to go back and learn it all,” Zhang said faintly.
Xie Qingxue didn’t notice the issue within this deal, but Zhang did see through it.
This junior brother is trading Haori Mountain’s Secret Technique with the Tianhe Sect.
The difference in price has all been pocketed by Zheng Fa as the middleman!
…
Zheng Fa was diligently acquiring goods at Haori Mountain when a message suddenly arrived in the Creation Jade Disc.
“Tongming Master has secretly arrived at the Hundred Immortals Alliance with his disciple?”
