279: Chapter 279

Revered Master, many Junior Brothers are already packing up, preparing to defect to other Peak Revered Masters.

Yan Zhan was furious, and with a slight exertion of force, the chair collapsed.

These scoundrels, I have treated them well in the past.

If things are broken, hurry up and make new ones.

Just as Xiao Bai arrived above Ao Zhan Peak, he saw a scene of utter chaos. No one paid him any mind; many were gathering useful items, packing whatever they could, and preparing to slip away.

He didn't pay it any mind and went straight to find Yan Zhan.

Chapter 376: Acting as a Spy

Yan Zhan sat on the steps at the entrance of the main hall, watching the busy figures of his Disciples. His heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know how to handle what was to come.

It was inevitable; the reason for this situation was simply that he had failed to remain as Sect Master.

This was what caused these Disciples to seek other paths, unwilling to stay and continue suffering.

Grand Uncle-Master is not in a good mood.

Hearing the voice from the side, Yan Zhan snapped his head around to look at Xiao Bai.

Earlier at the banquet hall, Xiao Bai was the only one who had shown respect to Yan Zhan.

This left a very good impression on Yan Zhan. If any other Disciple of Zhu Ding Peak had come, he certainly wouldn't have had a pleasant expression and might have even slapped them to death.

So it is Junior Nephew Gou Dan. Today is a joyous day for Zhu Ding Peak; what business do you have coming to this desolate place?

Xiao Bai sighed mournfully, 'I feel it is very unfair for you, Grand Uncle-Master.'

Why do you say that...

Xiao Bai checked the surroundings and whispered, 'Could we speak in private? There are many eyes and ears here.'

Yan Zhan also wanted to see what Xiao Bai was up to, so the two of them went to a remote area behind the mountain.

There was a long-dilapidated pavilion there, right next to a bottomless cliff. To prevent eavesdropping, Yan Zhan specifically used his Cultivation Technique to Seal the entire pavilion, preventing any sound from leaking out.

Just say what you have to say; there are only the two of us here.

Xiao Bai first relayed the matters Yan Ding had instructed him with, adding his own embellishments to Yan Zhan.

Being able to bring him to this place for a private chat showed that he still trusted him.

Xiao Bai narrated it vividly, and Yan Zhan was furious as he listened.

They bully me too much! Do they want to continue humiliating me?

Once those rabble are wiped out, it will be the time of my death. He doesn't have the kindness to stand on equal footing with me and govern Dreamscape Mountain together.

Yan Zhan smashed the stone table next to him into powder with one palm to vent his anger.

Xiao Bai, appearing to empathize, was extremely indignant and fabricated a tragic past to continue gaining Yan Zhan's trust.

The old thief Yan Ding has the blood of my father on his hands and stole my wife. The reason I have chosen to endure all these years is that I was waiting for an opportunity.

Grand Uncle-Master, you must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once the old thief Yan Ding successfully deals with the Alliance Army of Demons and Monsters, he will turn around and completely remove you, this thorn in his side.

Those fleeing Disciples are the best proof. Even they have sensed the danger; Senior Martial Uncle, you surely don't intend to just sit and wait for death, right?

Under Xiao Bai's constant cajoling, Yan Zhan mustered his courage and decided to take a gamble; this was the best time.

Right now, I am surrounded by spies, and my every move is monitored. I have some friendship with the Heavenly Demon Emperor, and I hear the Saintess is the military advisor for the Alliance. As long as we cooperate sincerely, I trust she will let bygones be bygones.

Xiao Bai slapped his thigh in excitement, 'Senior Martial Uncle, this is a righteous act! If we don't overthrow the old thief Yan Ding's position as Sect Master, in time, the entire Dreamscape Mountain will surely become a lackey of Emperor Kun.'

The wealth you worked so hard to accumulate for the Sect will all become someone else's wedding dress.

Yan Zhan set aside his elder posture and bowed to Xiao Bai, 'I must trouble you, Junior Nephew, to deliver the message. I will draft the letter now; only you can take it out and deliver it to the Saintess.'

He quickly drafted the letter and handed it to Xiao Bai, 'I'm counting on you!'

Yan Zhan specifically warned, 'To prevent the letter from leaking, it can only be opened with the unique secret technique of the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan. You will understand once you see the Heavenly Demon Emperor.'

Please rest assured, Senior Martial Uncle. This Junior will handle it now; you wait here for the good news.

Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Bai specifically reminded him, 'To avoid raising the old thief Yan Ding's suspicions, Senior Martial Uncle should first agree to his proposal. When the time comes, we will work from the inside and outside with the Alliance Army, and we will definitely be able to topple him.'

Yan Zhan nodded in agreement and handed an important token he carried to Xiao Bai.

During this time, he secretly gathered the Disciples who were truly loyal to him, waiting for the opportunity to come.

Xiao Bai flew away on his sword, diving off the cliff and disappearing. Only a short while later, two Disciples came over to escort Yan Zhan back to his residence, in reality, to monitor his every move.

The entire Ao Zhan Peak had already been infiltrated. Many Disciples had defected to Yan Ding and were left there to monitor Yan Zhan's every move. If they could find evidence of him betraying the Sect, they would be able to make a great contribution.

Xiao Bai, having obtained the letter, did not dare to delay for a moment. He first hid the letter in the Lotus Platform Secret Realm and then reported the good news to Yan Ding.

After all, so many spies had been planted on Ao Zhan Peak, and many Disciples had seen the Gou Dan that Xiao Bai was disguised as coming over.

Reporting to Revered Master, Senior Martial Uncle Yan Zhan has agreed to join forces against that rabble outside.

This is the token Senior Martial Uncle gave to this Disciple to express his sincerity.

Yan Ding picked up the blood jade Xiao Bai handed over, his mood very excited.

Haha, I have finally obtained the Bodhi Blood. The Old Ancestor really did give this item to Yan Zhan. It seems this Old Guy is truly defecting.

Gou Dan, you did a great job this time. Once we deal with the external threat, you will be the Peak Revered Master of Ao Zhan Peak.

Xiao Bai was grinning from ear to ear, 'Thank you, Revered Master!'

Then I will go out to attend to matters and not disturb your rest, Revered Master.

Yan Ding waved his hand, continuously playing with the Bodhi Blood. It was said that as long as one wore this item, they could regain their youth.

It was precisely because of this item that even though Yan Zhan was actually much older, he looked significantly younger than the other Peak Revered Masters.

With Xiao Bai's current disguised identity, he could come and go freely within Dreamscape Mountain. To avoid exposing his identity, he first hid Gou Dan's body.

He came to the chestnut tree from before, wanting to crawl through the hole to get out, but unexpectedly, the hole was completely blocked.

He had to get the Pangolins to arrange a new spot to take him out to see Tian Kui.

This is Yan Zhan's secret letter. He said the Heavenly Demon Emperor knows how to open it.

Tian Kui took the letter; there was a special Seal on it, and the security measures were very well done.

This Old Guy might also be testing you. If you were sent by Yan Ding, as long as Yan Ding opened this letter, there would be nothing inside.

And he would be discovered by Yan Zhan, who would decisively change his strategy and then bite you back.

Xiao Bai lightly patted his chest, 'That was close. Thank goodness my hands didn't get itchy and try to open it, otherwise the entire plan would have fallen short.'

Whether we can successfully invade Dreamscape Mountain is crucial to Yan Zhan.

Let's go see Father now and have him open the letter himself.

Tian Kui tore open space, took Xiao Bai and Little Fairy Doctor inside, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the territory of the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan.

They immediately went to the Heavenly Demon Emperor's study and told him the whole story.

Father, is this Yan Zhan reliable? Could there be a trap?

The Heavenly Demon Emperor smiled indifferently, 'He is at the end of his rope now. If he doesn't seek our help, he will be in mortal danger. Given Yan Ding's ruthlessness, he will never let him live for long.'

More than twenty thousand years ago, we practiced together in the Immortal Realm for a period of time; we have a little friendship.

For the past thousand years, even though Yan Zhan has committed countless massacres against other races in the Lower Realm, he has never touched the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan. He remembers old friendships.

Chapter 377: Just Mutual Utilization

The Heavenly Demon Emperor sighed, 'It's a pity that he was later blinded by power. Before he became Sect Master, everything about him was so humble and peaceful.'

The Heavenly Demon Emperor gently placed his right hand on the letter, chanting incantations.

Little Fairy Doctor remained on high alert at the side. If any deadly poison emerged from the letter, she could take effective measures immediately.

Alright, let me see what this Old Guy wants to say.

Inside was a blank sheet of paper. Question marks appeared over the heads of both Tian Kui and Xiao Bai simultaneously; their first thought was that they had been played.

Father, why is this? Could it be that Yan Zhan has seen through Xiao Bai's identity?

Not necessarily. He knows that his biggest enemy right now is Yan Ding. Even if he knew Xiao Bai's identity, he wouldn't expose it. His security work is quite good.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor squeezed a few tears from the corners of his eyes and secretly applied them to the blank paper. The handwriting slowly emerged.

This guy was a world-renowned Alchemist back in the day. He applied a special medicinal liquid that can only be revealed using my tears.

The content inside was simple daily chatter, recalling some past events, with no mention of cooperation.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor saw the trick at a glance; a string of slanted words had already indicated his attitude.

You all should go back and prepare quickly. We will act at the first quarter of the Chou hour tomorrow night.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor burned the letter. Yan Zhan would naturally be able to sense it on his end; he was already making preparations.

Just as they walked out the door, the Heavenly Demon Emperor called out to Tian Kui, 'Saintess, wait a moment. I have a few words to discuss with you. White Snake Alliance Leader and Little Fairy Doctor, please excuse yourselves for a moment.'

The Heavenly Demon Emperor held Tian Kui's hand and said earnestly, 'I only have you, my precious daughter. Many fox demons younger than you are already grandmothers.'

Father, if you have something to say, just say it directly; no need to beat around the bush.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor looked outside, 'You and Xiao Bai have known each other for so many years; do you not have any feelings at all?'

His strength is unquestionable. To speak without modesty, he is the strongest in the Lower Realm.

With your wisdom and beauty, he will surely like you.

Tian Kui slowly raised her hand, 'Father, please say no more. Your daughter does not like sharing a husband with those other demonesses.'

No matter how much I like him, I will never throw myself at him. I would rather be alone for a lifetime.

I still have many things to attend to; I am leaving.

Tian Kui tidied her appearance and left the room. She was still dressed in black, covering her stunningly beautiful face tightly, revealing only her bright, beautiful eyes.

Let's go. There are still many things to attend to back there.

Xiao Bai, continue returning to Dreamscape Mountain. First, let Yan Ding and Yan Zhan fight until both are severely injured, then you make your move.

Neither of the two Old Guys can be left alive. This time, we must completely eradicate the entire Dreamscape Mountain.
