87: Joint Strategy

"Wending Sect wants Yushuang Palace to take action together to destroy Taiyi Immortal Sect?"

After hearing the report from Nangong Ping and Jiang Xue, the five Great Emperor Realm Old Ancestors of Yushuang Palace immediately fell into deep thought.

Although Taiyi Immortal Sect, like Batian Sect, had constant friction with Yushuang Palace and countless accumulated grievances over the years, escalating directly to a war between Sects... such a matter still required extreme caution.

After all, once they failed, Yushuang Palace would likely be doomed beyond redemption.

But if they succeeded... the benefits Yushuang Palace would gain were also immense.

Not only would they obtain the resources of Taiyi Immortal Sect, but their relationship with Wending Sect would also be firmly bound together. With the support of Wending Sect, it wouldn't be a problem for Yushuang Palace's Legacy to continue for another million years.

"Did Sect Master Lin really say that after Taiyi Immortal Sect is destroyed, half of its resources will belong to Yushuang Palace?"

Taiyi Immortal Sect had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, searching and plundering resources everywhere. The resources it possessed were more, not less, than those of Yushuang Palace. Faced with such a huge temptation, it was impossible for them not to be moved. If someone else had offered such terms, they would certainly have suspected it was a scam.

But... the one who said this was Lin Chen.

The resources Lin Chen possessed were beyond imagination. Previously, he had gifted Yushuang Palace a top-grade Spiritual Vein right from the start. When these old fogies found out, they were shocked and couldn't help but marvel at Lin Chen's generosity.

Since then, Yushuang Palace had become a steadfast ally of Wending Sect.

Now that Sect Master Lin had said this, he might want to consolidate the relationship with Yushuang Palace, or he might simply look down on these resources of Taiyi Immortal Sect... but regardless, Lin Chen shouldn't harm Yushuang Palace.

If it really were a trap set by Lin Chen... then Yushuang Palace would just have to accept it.

However, they still had doubts.

Could Wending Sect and Yushuang Palace alone really destroy Taiyi Immortal Sect?

"Old Ancestors, please rest assured. Misty Rain Tower and Ancient Moon Tower will also take action together."

Nangong Ping said at the appropriate time.

"Misty Rain Tower?"

Several Old Ancestors were all stunned for a moment.

They knew that Ancient Moon Tower was an affiliated force of Wending Sect, so it was reasonable for Ancient Moon Tower to take action.

But... when did Misty Rain Tower become an ally of Wending Sect?

But regardless of the reason, if both Misty Rain Tower and Ancient Moon Tower took action, then four major forces dealing with one Sect would indeed have a much greater chance of success.

Let's do it!

The five Old Ancestors all had the same thought in their hearts.

"Reply to Sect Master Lin that Yushuang Palace has decided to go all out to help."

The Old Ancestor with the highest cultivation and status in Yushuang Palace, Leng Bingning, was once a peerless beauty. Now, she had grown very old, becoming an old woman with a face full of wrinkles and sagging skin.

After discussing with the other four Old Ancestors, she made a decisive choice.

"Tell Sect Master Lin to rest assured. We will prepare for a bit and then immediately head to the agreed location... Nangong Ping, you don't need to go. Stay and guard Yushuang Palace; no mistakes are allowed."

Another old woman named Ling Yue instructed.

"Yes, Nangong Ping obeys the command."

Next, Jiang Xue and Nangong Ping began to contact Lin Chen to inform him of the Old Ancestors' decision... Not long after.

Eastern Region, Ancient Moon Tower.

"Three Old Ancestors, Baili Wendao requests an audience."

The Three Old Ancestors were in seclusion when Tower Master Baili Wendao suddenly arrived. He told them that Lin Chen wanted to ask the Three Old Ancestors of Ancient Moon Tower for help, and had also united Yushuang Palace and Misty Rain Tower to destroy Taiyi Immortal Sect together.

After the matter was settled, half of Taiyi Immortal Sect's resources would be given to them.

"What kind of words are those from Sect Master Lin?"

"This is looking down on our Ancient Moon Tower!"

"When the upper Sect has a need, Ancient Moon Tower is duty-bound!"

"Exactly!"

"Talking about rewards is far too formal!"

The Three Old Ancestors agreed without even thinking.

Although they were also very greedy for Taiyi Immortal Sect's resources, even without Lin Chen's promise, the Three Old Ancestors would have chosen to help Wending Sect without hesitation.

After all, helping Wending Sect was actually helping Ancient Moon Tower itself.

They would share the glory and the loss together.

"Baili Wendao, reply to Sect Master Lin immediately. We three old fogies will set off for the agreed location right away. Tell him to rest assured!"

After saying that, the Three Old Ancestors were about to get up.

"Old Ancestors, remember to take the eight desolations profound fire mirror!" At this time, Baili Wendao quickly reminded them.

"Oh! This old man is getting senile and almost forgot such an important thing..."

...A few days later.

Imperial Continent, Misty Rain Tower.

Yu Xuanji sipped tea leisurely, his expression calm.

"Young Master, why aren't you worried at all..."

Qingniao said with some concern.

"Worrying is useless. If I'm not worried, they will be the ones who are worried."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Yudao sent a sound transmission.

"Tower Master Yu, how is the situation?"

Although Li Yudao's voice sounded steady, Yu Xuanji knew that Li Yudao was deliberately pretending. In fact, his heart was already extremely anxious.

The matter of assassinating Lin Chen wasn't very urgent, but that netherworld blood lotus... was what the Old Ancestors cared about most. Once it was late, it would be ruined by those people from Wending Sect. Even if they got it then, it wouldn't be able to exert its original efficacy.

"...Sigh."

Suddenly, the sound of Yu Xuanji sighing came from the great sound transmission jade talisman.

Li Yudao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.

"Sect Master Li, that Sect Protecting Grand Array of Wending Sect is truly powerful. Misty Rain Tower has already sent out several Great Emperor Realm assassins, but they still couldn't sneak into Wending Sect to assassinate Lin Chen..."

"Then... the netherworld blood lotus?"

"The netherworld blood lotus has also been refined into Medicinal Pills by them."

As soon as these words came out, Li Yudao's heart went half cold.

But Yu Xuanji's next words gave him hope again, even making him excited: "Has Sect Master Li ever heard of the Ancient Pill Sect? The Old Ancestor of the Ancient Pill Sect, Xu Zhishan, is a Ninth Rank Peak Pill Refining Grandmaster..."

Li Yudao soon understood.

In short, under the guidance of Xu Zhishan, the Ancestor of Wonderful Elixir Valley led the effort, assisted by the Valley Master of Wonderful Elixir Valley, and the three of them joined forces to use the netherworld blood lotus, combined with many Heaven And Earth Treasures, to refine a batch of peerless Medicinal Pills, thirteen in total.

Named the Longevity Pill.

Taking one pill could extend one's Lifespan by ten thousand years!

Most of this was true, except that the refined Medicinal Pill had changed from the nine revolutions blood lotus pill to the Longevity Pill. Li Yudao had no way to tell the truth from the lies.

But Li Yudao chose to believe Yu Xuanji, because Yu Xuanji had no reason to lie to him.

"...Ah, this!"

Li Yudao was stunned. He never would have imagined that Wending Sect would take the netherworld blood lotus to refine pills to increase Lifespan.

Moreover... with two Ninth Rank Pill Refining Grandmasters personally handling it, the refined pills must at least be of the highest quality!

Not to mention the several Old Ancestors, even he, who still had tens of thousands of years of Lifespan left, felt his heart thumping and was moved after hearing this... But how could he get his hands on this batch of Longevity Pills?

The corners of Yu Xuanji's mouth curled up unconsciously. Knowing that Li Yudao had begun to take the bait, he said unhurriedly: "Sect Master Li, don't be anxious! I have already deduced that Lin Chen has a deep relationship with Yushuang Palace. To consolidate his relationship with Yushuang Palace, he has already taken that batch of Longevity Pills and headed to Yushuang Palace."

"Is this true?!"

"Absolutely true!"

"..."
