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

Chapter 334 This is definitely a trap!
Meizhou.

Shen Ziqing closed the last account book, let out a long breath, and pinched his nose unconsciously.

Huang Shangshang leaned forward and asked, "Mr. Shen, are you worried?"

Shen Ziqing was stunned and said helplessly, "Is it that obvious?"

"have--"

Shen Ziqing considered it carefully for a moment and then sat up straight. "Miss Huang, Master has a long-term vision. Since he brought you with him, there must be a deep meaning behind it. I can't guess what it is, but I can be sure that Master's vision will never be wrong."

Huang Shangshang was immediately flattered, "I'm just lucky."

"There's no such thing as luck in this world, at least not with my master." Shen Ziqing shook his head and smiled, "So I won't hide some things. The construction of Meizhou is going very smoothly, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is also recovering, but this doesn't change the fact that Meizhou is a small state."

"Even if the concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is restored to normal, it will only be at the level of a normal small state. The limit of a small state is the fusion stage."

"It will be difficult to make up for the investment without two or three thousand years."

Shen Ziqing paused and added, "This is not counting the spiritual mines."

Huang Shangshang scratched her head, hesitated for a moment, and then said shamelessly, "But doesn't Master Li already control the entire Meizhou? It will definitely be profitable in two or three thousand years."

"Meizhou still belongs to Dayu, and all the people living there are Dayu's people," Shen Ziqing corrected him. Huang Shangshang realized something and nodded quickly.

"I'm sorry, I was confused for a moment."

"As for the issue of profit...that has never been something Master cared about," Shen Ziqing stood up and pulled down a map.

That was a map of the universe, in which the four states of Yan, Zhuo, Han and Sha were circled. That was the next target of Dayu's expeditionary force.

"Master has a long-term vision. The small state is just a trial run. The expedition to the Central State is the real beginning."

"Miss Huang, which dragon do you think Master wants to slay with this move?"

Huang Shangshang sat upright. Shen Ziqing in front of her was Li Yanmo's second apprentice and was deeply trusted by Li Yanmo. Her answer would definitely reach Li Yanmo's ears.

So you must answer well, so that you will have a chance to repay the favor.

"Could it be the sect that secretly took action during the Demon-Slaying Ceremony and protected the demon leader?"

Shen Ziqing nodded. "During the Demon-Slaying Ceremony, a sect secretly protected the demon leader. This became known to everyone because of the Half-Immortal Ghost Mist incident. This time, both the Xuantian Sect and the Hunyun Sect have been blamed for the demonic incident. A crack has appeared in the Daoist alliance of one million sects. It's only a matter of time before it falls apart."

Huang Shangshang breathed a sigh of relief.

"But these are all things that are happening, not Master's real purpose," Shen Ziqing raised his finger and tapped on the map.

But the place Shen Ziqing pointed out was not any state of Zhuo Yanshahan, but Tianzhou, the big state where the Tianyin Demon Sect was entrenched.

"Half a month ago, the Saintess of the Tianyin Demon Sect and the Saintess Candidates went to Qianzhou to meet with the Master and presented him with a great gift."

"Big gift?"

When Huang Shangshang was wondering what the gift would be, Shen Ziqing gave the answer casually.

"A candidate for the Saint, but it could also be the Saint herself."

Huang Shangshang was dumbfounded.

The Tianyin Demon Sect is a supreme sect, home to immortals! Its leader, Hong Menglian, is one of the most powerful beings in the world. Unrivaled below the immortals, they can trade one for one. Yet, such a being could act so servilely.

But Huang Shangshang changed her mind and thought that based on the rare foundation displayed by Tianxu Tower, it didn't seem strange that Tianyin Demon Sect would do that.

"The Tianyin Demon Sect did not interfere with the expedition, but they knew that Master was the one who mobilized the heavenly tribulation, and they came to show their goodwill as soon as possible."

Shen Ziqing paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Master's plan is most likely related to the Tianyin Demon Sect. Master did not reject the Tianyin Demon Sect's arrival, which means that the Tianyin Demon Sect is not the target, but a bait to lure you into a trap."

"The question is, who does the master want to trap, and where does he set the trap?"

Huang Shangshang felt her head swelling a bit, and couldn't help asking, "Master Shen, wouldn't it be possible to find out where the trap is if we investigate Master Li's spending?"

Shen Ziqing was stunned, then smiled and shook his head, "Miss Huang, a being worthy of Master's planning and dealing with cannot be dealt with by digging a couple of traps."

"Master uses the world as his chessboard and the world's situation as his strategy. The traps he sets are naturally a dragnet."

Huang Shangshang thought of the overall situation that Li Yanmo had set up in Meizhou, and nodded with deep understanding.

Shen Ziqing sighed helplessly, "I just want to do my part."

Huang Shangshang scratched her head and thought for a moment before she said tentatively, "Master Shen, I don't think this is an answer we can come up with just by imagining it. There are many things that may only be confirmed when we get to the scene."

Shen Ziqing thought about it and agreed. "When Dayu goes on an expedition to Zhongzhou, I will go to Zhuozhou."

"Mr. Shen, can I, can I help?" Huang Shangshang knew that her realm was still too low for Zhongzhou, and she might not be able to help much, but she was unwilling to stay in the safe rear and live a mediocre life.

Shen Ziqing's narrowed eyes opened slightly, and he said with a half-smile, "Miss Huang, if you really want to help, you can try your luck in Hanzhou."

"Hanzhou?"

The news of the destruction of the Hanzhou Cold Realm had already spread. For some unknown reason, the Yuehan Palace, which was supposed to be guarding the Cold Realm, was disbanded. Countless people rushed towards the treasure inheritance in the Cold Realm, and no one stopped them.

It is no exaggeration to say that Hanzhou is probably the most chaotic and dangerous of the four states.

Huang Shangshang didn't think Shen Ziqing was joking, nor did she think that Shen Ziqing would let her die, so there must be some trick involved.

"it is good--"

Shen Ziqing was a little surprised to see Huang Shangshang agreed directly, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Before you leave, go to Luoyang Town first and tell Master that you are going to Hanzhou. Remember to tell Master in front of Senior Sister. Then you can set off."

"After arriving in Hanzhou, you just need to wander around. If no one from Yuehan Palace comes to see you within half a month, then go to Hanchuan. Ancestor Yuehan is in Hanchuan, and she will definitely come to see you."

Huang Shangshang nodded vigorously, "And then?"

"There is no more."

Huang Shangshang was dumbfounded, while Shen Ziqing leisurely explained, "We just need to be prepared and follow the flow. If we act too deliberately, we will only hinder the master."

Huang Shangshang thought it made a lot of sense. When Li Yanmo was in Meizhou, he did not tell them about the attack. Instead, he wandered around and arranged the overall plan to trap and kill the semi-immortal Guiwu invisibly.

Huang Shangshang didn't think that the method she came up with could be involved in a layout of this scale.
