If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 280 Or, backstab
Suihan Island.

Zhou Yi sat alone in the restaurant, leisurely drinking tea and eating beef.

A moment later, someone sat opposite Zhou Yi.

"It's really hard to get someone from your Haoqi Sect to come out," Zhou Yi said sarcastically, "Do you know what shameful things you're doing?"

"Good and evil cannot coexist since ancient times. If I were seen by others, I would forget about being an inner disciple of the Haoqi Sect," Chu Lan, who was sitting opposite Zhou Yi, replied indifferently with a distant tone, as if this was just a routine matter.

Zhou Yi snorted coldly, "Good and evil cannot coexist since ancient times. Then let me ask you, what's going on with the recent ancient cultivators?"

Chu Lan was stunned, thinking that Zhou Yi was hinting that someone was watching him and needed him to cooperate in a duet.

Chu Lan thought for a moment and then laughed, "Brother Zhou, you've stumped me. I'm just a humble inner sect disciple. How could I possibly know anything about the ancient cultivators? Not to mention me, even my ancestors wouldn't know the answer."

“…I’m surrounded by my own people.”

As soon as Zhou Yi finished speaking, everyone around him stopped what they were doing and looked at Chu Lan in unison.

Chu Lan's mouth twitched slightly, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

It took him a long time to act.

Zhou Yi's face was full of disgust.

He is not mentally retarded. He asked Chu Lan to meet him even though he was being followed. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
"I won't beat around the bush. Li Lin's progress is a bit slow, and I can't make some moves, so I arranged for the ancient monks to sow discord. Now Li Lin has concealed his whereabouts and left the barracks and arrived at Suihan Island as I planned. He should know about the beast's blood by now."

Chu Lan was stunned, thinking that you are here to show off.

Chu Lan changed into a more comfortable sitting position and said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? I've already met with the ancestors of Sui Han Sect and Zhong Nan Sect. When the blood of the fierce beast is revealed, they will try to lure the ancestor Huan Tian to the Jiu Yin Land."

"When the three sides engage in a chaotic battle, there will be a large number of cultivators for Li Lin to refine and improve his cultivation."

"Now... Li Lin should have realized this possibility. If he had any ambition, he would have set his sights on Huantian, Zhongnan, and Sui Han."

By the end of the conversation, Chu Lan's nose was almost raised to the sky. Of course, Chu Lan did not forget to glance at Zhou Yi from the corner of his eyes, thinking that Zhou Yi would show a jealous expression.

You know, instigating conflicts between noble dukes and commoner dukes and causing internal strife in Dayu's power system is a major plan prepared by some super sects!
If they can show their talents among them, they will all be reborn!

Zhou Yi's operation of forging a noble marquis to dispatch an ancient monk to kill Li Lin and force Li Lin to leave the barracks was indeed a good move, but it was far less beneficial than if he had directly given Li Lin the three upgrade gift packs of Huantian, Zhongnan and Sui Han!
But what Chu Lan didn't expect was that Zhou Yi not only didn't show any jealous expression, but also looked like he was suppressing his anger.

This made Chu Lan a little confused.

"Recently—some other troubles have occurred," Zhou Yi said, suppressing his anger. "Some generals of the Dayu Expeditionary Force were attacked by ancient cultivators! From the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul! The Dayu Expeditionary Force has turned its attention to the ancient cultivators!"

Chu Lan understood what Zhou Yi was angry about and his expression changed immediately. "Could it be that you think we wanted to eliminate you and deliberately arranged for people to disguise themselves as ancient monks to attack the Dayu Expeditionary Force?"

"Isn't it!" Seeing Chu Lan still pretending to be stupid, Zhou Yi also got angry.

He had arranged everything well, from the middle stage of foundation building to the great perfection, and then to the false pill stage.

He fed it to Li Lin layer by layer, and as a result, he heard that the Dayu Expeditionary Force was attacked by ancient monks, and then the people he arranged were almost captured by the Dayu Expeditionary Force.

Zhou Yi had naturally considered the possibility that the people he had arranged might be caught, but he was afraid of the worst! He was afraid! Yuan Luozong was afraid too!
Dayu knew that the Taoist sect must be behind this, but he had no evidence.

If he was caught with evidence, the lightest case scenario would be that he would be sacrificed by Yuanluo Sect.

"Zhou Yi! Stop your ridiculous accusations! There are already ancient cultivators in Meizhou who are attacking the Dayu cultivators. They're taking advantage of the expeditionary force's unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack..."

Chu Lan's voice gradually faded, and he gradually lost confidence. Zhou Yi then sneered, "Tell me, how could an ancient cultivator who only dares to attack Jindan-stage cultivators dare to attack the Dayu Expeditionary Force, which is guarded by two Half-Step Tribulation-Transcending cultivators!"

"This matter has nothing to do with us. You're asking the wrong person."

Chu Lan flicked his sleeves and left, and no one in the teahouse tried to stop him.

After leaving the teahouse, Chu Lan wanted to find his informant to inquire about the situation, but before he could fly far, he was blocked by a carriage.

Chu Lan cursed inwardly and clasped his hands together, "Princess Leng, what can I do for you?"

"Of course I'm here to ask you what you want to do. Why are those ancient cultivators attacking the Dayu Expeditionary Force? Could it be... that they really want to drag me down with them?"

Leng Ningshuang's voice was weak, but it was chilling.

Chu Lan felt a toothache. "Princess Leng, you are wrongly accusing me. Why should I... uh..."

As Chu Lan spoke, his voice became softer and his confidence faded.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that they really have a reason to drag Condensation Frost into this.

Leng Ningshuang's father, Leng Shanhe, was the Prime Minister of Emperor Yu, a truly powerful official. However, the current Emperor Yu was the most powerful Emperor in history, with unfathomable abilities. Leng Shanhe seemed to have his own way in the court, commanding his officials, but in reality, he was walking on thin ice.

If word got out that Leng Ningshuang had colluded with the sect's cultivators to have the ancient cultivators attack Dayu's expeditionary force, Leng Shanhe would be completely at a disadvantage. If he didn't want to see that happen, Leng Shanhe would have no choice but to bind himself to the Dao Sect until they achieved their goal.

This is not only simpler than allowing Li Lin, the son of Marquis Bahuang, to develop, but it is also more effective.

"...But I didn't do that. Doesn't that show my sincerity?"

"Really? Do you think I believe that?"

Chu Lan wanted to explain, but the carriage had already turned around.

Chu Lan also felt aggrieved. Although he did have reasons to trick Leng Ningshuang after thinking about it carefully, this matter also involved Yuanluo Sect. What benefit would he get if he ruined Yuanluo Sect's affairs in order to trick Leng Ningshuang?
But there is definitely a problem.

First of all, we must rule out the possibility that Dayu directed and acted in this drama himself. Dayu was very concerned about his reputation, so why would he attack himself for no reason?
Secondly, exclude ancient monks.

The more Chu Lan thought about it, the more his head hurt.

"Hmph—my heart and actions are as clear as a mirror! If I didn't do it, then I didn't do it! Rumors will naturally dissolve themselves!"

But just a few days later, news came that a team of Dayu was attacked and all members were missing.

And the one who did it was none other than the ancient monk!
After struggling between the possibility that he might have a second personality and the possibility that someone with higher authority than him was involved in this matter, Chu Lan chose to contact his superior elder.

Faced with Chu Lan's question, the elder of Haoqi Sect hesitated for a long time and did not say whether he had arranged other operations. He just revealed another piece of information.

"Not long ago, we found out that Yuanluo Sect seems to have reached an agreement with Mr. Shen. Tianxu Tower is planning to build a branch building for Yuanluo Sect specifically for purchasing Tianxu Tower products on their behalf."

"If the Deyuanluo Sect succeeds, it will have the opportunity to become a super sect."

Chu Lan was completely dumbfounded.

There really is a reason why Yin Yuan fell from power!
The elders of Haoqi Sect also mentioned us, but we are definitely not referring to the elders of Haoqi Sect.

"...How about we plan to drag Leng Shanhe into this?"
