Chapter 1066 Creating Conflict

Long Zhang and Xie Yuyan were also gathered together at this time, discussing Luo Yuejue's improved cultivation. Both of them felt a lot of pressure.

Long Zhang turned the jade cup in his hand and said:

"Fairy Ranxi is indeed quite capable. She has only been guiding the Luo family's swordsmanship disciples for a month, and some of them have already made a breakthrough. It seems we cannot slack off either."

Xie Yuyan took a sip of tea and said:

"I heard that Ranxi just threw an illusion array plate into the training ground and then let the Luo family disciple break through the array. He did this for a month straight. I think the key to the disciple's breakthrough is the illusion array. She didn't seem to give any special guidance to this Luo family disciple who broke through."

"Whether it's the illusion array or her, the disciple she's been looking after has broken through, and that's her achievement, which we must acknowledge."

Long Zhang said seriously.

Xie Yuyan nodded:
“You’re right. Regardless of the methods used, it’s a fact that Ranxi helped the Luo family disciple break through. I’m also preparing to adjust the guidance plan.”

Before Xie Yuyan could finish speaking, the protective barrier around their courtyard was activated. They discovered that it was Zhuo Wuhen who activated it. The two exchanged a glance, then opened the barrier to let Zhuo Wuhen in.

Zhuo Wuhen greeted the two with a smile, and after the three of them sat down, Long Zhang asked curiously:

"Brother Zhuo, how have you been? What brings you here to visit us today?"

Zhuo Wuhen said calmly:

"After leaving the Luo family, I was introduced to the Feng family and am now a bodyguard for Young Master Qin Yu of the Feng family. It just so happens that the Feng family brought him to visit the Luo family, so I came along too, and also to see how you are adapting to the Luo family."

Xie Yuyan said with a smile:

"Congratulations, Brother Zhuo, on finding a satisfactory place to cultivate. The Feng family is a family that is almost as famous as the Luo family. I believe that with the support of the Feng family, you will definitely break through before us."

Zhuo Wuhen was quite pleased with Xie Yuyan's flattery, but still humbly said:
"I was lucky. As long as you have the ability, it doesn't matter where you cultivate. But you might be under more pressure. Today I accompanied Young Master Qinyu to the training ground and happened to run into Ranxi's disciple who was breaking through. She was very proud of herself at the time."

He shook his head after saying that.

Long Zhang and Xie Yuyan exchanged a glance, speechless at Zhuo Wuhen's blatant provocation.

Long Zhang simply changed the subject:
"What brings the Feng family to the Luo family this time? Brother Zhuo, would you mind revealing a few things?"

Zhuo Wuhen thought about it and felt there was nothing he couldn't say, so he said:

"The Feng family has discovered a new secret realm, which is perfect for disciples below the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm to undergo trials. Therefore, they want to join forces with the Luo family to protect the secret realm while sending the first batch of their disciples to enter."

As you all know, in these secluded havens like this, whoever gets in first gains an advantage and might even reap unexpected rewards.

Long Zhang and Xie Yuyan understood, and then Xie Yuyan asked:
"If the Feng family and the Luo family reach an agreement, when will they go to the secret realm?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhuo Wuhen said:
"If the two families decide to join forces, they will send people to investigate whether there is any danger in the small secret realm. They will also report to the city lord's mansion and record it before sending disciples in. It will take at least one or two months. You can make some preparations in advance."

Whoever has the most disciples return alive and reap the most rewards will have an edge over the others.

The implication in those words was quite clear, but Long Zhang pretended to understand and cupped his hands in apology:
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Zhuo. We will make arrangements in advance."

Then, Zhuo Wuhen subtly inquired about the Luo family's situation from the two of them. The two were not stupid; they only told what they could openly say, and then used the excuse that they were guest elders and not fully trusted by the Luo family to indicate that they knew only limited information.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of her, Zhuo Wuhen got up to take his leave. After Zhuo Wuhen left, Xie Yuyan said with a stern face:

"What is Zhuo Wuhen trying to do? He's trying to sow discord between us and Ran Xi. He's already a guard for the Feng family, so why is he still so concerned about the Luo family? What is his purpose in implying that we should attack the Luo family disciples?"

Long Zhang looked in the direction where Zhuo Wuhen disappeared and said:
"I'm afraid he's still resentful about not being selected, which is why he's trying to sow discord between us and Ranxi. As for his interest in the Luo family, he must have something to ask for."

We should be careful when we encounter him in the future. We are now guest elders of the Luo family, and are one with the Luo family. If the Luo family suffers losses, we will not fare well either.

Xie Yuyan sighed and said:

"I understand. I used to think Zhuo Wuhen was someone I could befriend, but it seems I drew my conclusion too early."

"It's alright. You can know a person's face but not their heart. As long as we hold our ground, it's fine. What he does is no longer our concern. We just need to do our own job."

"Should we tell Ranxi this news?"

"Just say so, and do her a favor."

"I see."

The next day, Yunxi did not appear at the training ground, but instead upgraded the Illusion Array Plate again.

In fact, during this month, every day after the illusion array kicked out the Luo family disciples, she would take the illusion array back to continue to improve it. This is why, after a month of trying to break through the illusion array, none of the Luo family disciples succeeded.

The difficulty of the illusion array increased with the reaction speed and combat results of the Luo family disciples, causing them to always feel inferior in front of Ran Xi, unaware that they had been tricked.

Only Menglanjun exclaimed that Yunxi was cunning, but Yunxi calmly replied:

"I call this 'all's fair in war.' Besides, the illusion array they experienced for the first time was indeed the evil spirit I faced when I was in the Nascent Soul stage. Even so, it took them three days to adapt, which means they were not up to par with me."

I haven't even let them be trapped in that situation for ten years yet. I survived it, so there's no reason they can't. I'm just raising the bar as the tide rises.

Meng Lanjun declined to comment, as he lacked the experience of fighting enemies for ten years and was not qualified to say anything. He could only watch as the Luo family disciples were about to succeed when Ran Xi increased the difficulty of the illusion array, plunging them into dire straits once again.

However, he also brought Yunxi some new news today:
"Zhuo Wuhen went to see Long Zhang and Xie Yuyan, and also stirred up trouble between you two. Then he did them a favor by saying that the Feng and Luo families are about to join forces to send their family disciples to explore a new secret realm. You'd better make arrangements in advance to avoid the little guy you're looking after being ambushed."

Upon hearing that it was a new secret realm, Yunxi perked up and raised an eyebrow, asking:
"Are there cultivation restrictions in these secret realms?"

"Well, only those with cultivation below the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm can enter. You have no chance."

Although Yunxi was somewhat disappointed, she still pressed on with the question:
When are you going?

"They said it would be two months from now."

"okay, I get it."

Afterwards, Yunxi took the Illusion Array Plate into the weapon refining room, spent a day upgrading the array plate, and then went to the Martial Arts Hall.

There weren't many Luo family disciples who came to the Martial Arts Hall to challenge the formations today, so when she met Long Zhang and Xie Yuyan, who had come together, the two told her about the secret realm.

Yunxi said with a smile:

“I already knew about this yesterday. Zhuo Wuhen told me about it. He also said he would tell you when he went to see you tonight. I didn’t expect you to come and tell me. Thank you for your help.”
