Chapter 296 Master, I understand again

Qianzhou, Tianxu Tower.

"Half-Immortal Ghost Mist... dares to fight against the heavens?"

Shen Ziqing put down the information in his hand, muttered something, and his squinting eyes opened, with a light flashing in them.

"It looks like the master has taken action."

"Using the three ancient caves as bait to gather the Taoist monks hiding in Meizhou?"

"Master's goal is definitely more than just this. This is probably just a cover to attract the attention of the Taoist sect. Master has already obtained what he really wanted."

While playing Go, Shen Ziqing tried to guess Li Yanmo's plan, but after thinking for a long time, his temples only felt swollen.

Even though the plan had been advanced to this point, Shen Ziqing still couldn't keep up with Li Yanmo's thinking.

Shen Ziqing didn't blame Li Yanmo for not revealing his plan. His master had a long-term vision and would speak out when the time came. Besides, even revealing the plan now was enough to make him suffer.

One should not be too ambitious.

Shen Ziqing adjusted his mood as quickly as possible and contacted Yuanluo Zong through the talisman at hand.

The one who connected the talisman was the seventh elder of Yuanluo Sect, who was also the elder in charge of money in Yuanluo Sect.

Shen Ziqing had already adjusted his state of mind and spoke without waiting for the other party to speak, "Seventh Elder, what exactly does Meizhou mean?"

The so-called preemptive strike means taking the initiative first and bringing the opponent into your own rhythm.

Of course, if you lack confidence and act rashly, you are likely to be counterattacked and fall into a disadvantage.

But Shen Ziqing didn't like risks. If he was going to take action, he would kill the opponent in one breath.

Shen Ziqing's tone was not harsh, but it was urgent, and his unceremonious way of speaking frightened the Seventh Elder so much that he almost threw the talisman in his hand away.

The Seventh Elder had just received intelligence about Meizhou and was in a state of panic. Shen Ziqing's call completely disrupted their rhythm.

"Mr. Shen! The Meizhou incident has nothing to do with us! We don't know why such a thing happened!"

The Seventh Elder naturally knew why Shen Ziqing came, and also knew why Shen Ziqing was so anxious.

It must be the semi-immortal ghost fog.

As an elder who manages money in a first-rate sect, the Seventh Elder certainly understands the twists and turns behind the Taoist sect.

On the surface, this time the Taoist sects worked together to sow the seeds for the collapse of Dayu's power system, but Taoism was only an alliance of millions of sects, and the super and first-class sects had their own ulterior motives, all wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to profit or to trip up other sects.

Their Yuanluo Sect was tripped up by other first-rate sects, and their disciples who disguised themselves as ancient monks were almost caught several times.

But as the saying goes, if it ain't revealed, it ain't exposed.

Dayu only suspected that the Taoist sect disguised itself as ancient monks to attack Dayu's expeditionary force, but there was no witness or evidence, and the matter did not become a big deal.

But the problem of the Semi-Immortal Ghost Mist is too big! It is not something that Dayu can ignore. Although he has not caught them yet, Dayu will definitely send more troops to Meizhou later. All the sects involved in this matter are at risk of being exposed!
Relying on the millions of Taoist sects to unite and put pressure on Dayu?

That's impossible. Would the person who created this semi-immortal ghost fog not know what kind of turmoil this would cause in Dayu?
The perpetrators must be a super sect that wasn't involved in this operation! That super sect wanted to use the other sects as shields to ward off the wrath of the Great Yu Dynasty. This not only achieved their own goals, but also weakened the Taoist super sects that participated in the plan, thereby increasing their own influence within the Taoist community. Vicious, truly vicious!

The one who would suffer the most from this vicious plot is naturally their Yuanluo Sect. In order to give an explanation to Dayu, the Taoist sect would most likely choose to protect itself and sell out the Yuanluo Sect!

If Yuanluo Sect was sold, Shen Ziqing's plan in Zhuozhou would be declared bankrupt, and his status in Tianxu Tower would plummet, and he would be finished!
So how could Shen Ziqing not be anxious?!

In the Seventh Elder's imagination, Shen Ziqing was in a state of panic, feigning composure. But in reality, Shen Ziqing was leisurely rubbing the black chess piece in his hand. "Seventh Elder, is your Yuanluo Sect's backer...reliable?"

The Seventh Elder's expression froze slightly, knowing that Shen Ziqing was asking which super sect was behind this plan.

"Mr. Shen, this...I can't say for sure."

The Seventh Elder hesitated and could not explain clearly, but he did not mention a word about the super sect behind them.

Seeing that he could not find out any information about the super sect behind this plan, Shen Ziqing did not feel disappointed. Instead, his tone became heavy. "Seventh Elder, let me tell you the truth. This incident in Meizhou has caused great wrath among the top leaders of our Tianxu Tower."

“A lot of business has been ruined.”

The Seventh Elder's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered Zhou Yi's previous speculation.

Tianxu Tower might be related to ancient cultivators.

"Seventh Elder, we are now in the same boat. If your business fails, I won't be able to completely turn things around. You must not tell anyone else what I am going to say next!"

The Seventh Elder quickly swore an oath with his heart of Tao.

"The ancient cultivator who attacked Constable Dayu a few days ago actually has a close relationship with Tianxu Tower! That ancient cave was specially prepared for him by our Tianxu Tower, and everything inside is his personal property!"

"But someone disguised themselves as an ancient cultivator and ran around Meizhou, forcing the Dayu Expeditionary Force to chase them all the way. Not only did our three ancient caves get exposed, but even Meizhou's Tianxu Tower had to be abandoned and evacuated!"

Shen Ziqing said with heartache.

"Hundreds of thousands of years of hard work have been wasted, and we must also compensate the ancient monk for the property stored in the ancient cave!"

The Seventh Elder’s eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

Tianxu Tower dared to instigate Emperor Lie to change the dynasty, so it didn't seem strange that it harbored ancient cultivators.

If it were in the past, he would only sigh and feel at ease, but at this critical moment, the Seventh Elder's heart was about to explode.

It was their Yuanluo Sect who proposed to disguise themselves as ancient monks to attack Li Lin, forcing Li Lin to leave the barracks and act alone.

Their Yuanluo Sect not only caused the complete collapse of Tianxu Tower's industries in Meizhou, but also resulted in the complete division of the caves of several ancient monks!

But judging from Shen Ziqing's tone, it seems that he still doesn't know that it was their Yuanluo Sect that was in charge?
The Seventh Elder stuttered and changed the subject, "No, I wonder if Master Shen knows the powerful being who mobilized the heavenly tribulation and used it to defeat the Semi-Immortal Ghost Mist?"

Shen Ziqing raised his lips slightly, "That's my master. He heard that a large number of ancient cultivators appeared in Meizhou, so he went to Meizhou specifically to check on the status of the three ancient caves."

The Seventh Elder rolled his eyes and fell straight to the ground.
