Chapter 212 The Cult Leader's Divine Calculation
An eerie atmosphere is spreading throughout Changfeng County.

The Yellow Wind Cult was rampant, attacking cities and seizing land everywhere, causing widespread suffering. Meanwhile, Frost Dragon had the idea of ​​protecting all sides and restoring peace to Changfeng County, which was truly astonishing and felt somewhat strange.

Yanqiu, a one-armed man appeared in front of Jiang Chen. His face was weathered, his skin was bronze, and he was tall and strong. He looked like he was in his prime but had a hint of age in him. He was Xin Yuan, the head of the Xin family.

In that battle, the Xin family suffered heavy losses. If he hadn't had a fortuitous encounter in his early years and obtained a teleportation talisman, he would most likely have perished in that battle. Even so, he lost an arm and suffered a serious injury.

After a period of recuperation, and with the help of medicinal pills, he finally recovered.

"King of the Flood Dragons, these are the conditions that each of us can offer. Do you think they are acceptable?"

With a solemn expression, Xin Yuan presented Jiang Chen with a gift list, indicating that he was indeed representing various families in Changfeng County.

Forced by circumstances and persuaded by Du Zhong, each family considered cooperating with Yanqiu. After some discussion, they elected Xin Yuan as their representative to negotiate with Jiang Chen to show their sincerity.

After receiving the gift list, Jiang Chen examined it carefully.

These are the conditions that each family can offer. In addition to a large amount of treasures offered at once, there are also many long-term benefits. After all, these families have been able to establish themselves in Changfeng County for so many years, so they must have some ability to make a living, whether it is farming, weapon crafting, or alchemy.

"Their sincerity is not lacking."

After a moment, Jiang Chen put down the gift list.

Hearing this, Xin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as the Flood Dragon King is satisfied, with you keeping Huang Feng Sanren in check and with the help of our various families, blocking Huang Feng Sect should not be a problem."

"In addition, we have already discussed with the Prefect's Office and will clear your name."

With a low voice, Xin Yuan recounted the relevant follow-up events one by one.

To vindicate the Frost Dragon and portray it as a good demon and a protector was a consensus reached by all the major families. After all, they also needed to maintain their reputation. In fact, such a thing was not unprecedented in the Southern Jing Kingdom.

After the death of Prefect Lu Ran, it was not difficult for them to do so. After all, the so-called Prefectural Government was a combination of the power of the imperial court and the local power. Without the Prefect's control, these cultivation families could easily exert their influence on the Prefectural Government.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded. This was exactly what he wanted. It would not only make it easier for him to win people's hearts, but also avoid some future troubles. After all, Changfeng County was within the Southern Jing Kingdom, and human forces still held a dominant position.

"Since you already have a complete plan, then let's proceed according to this plan."

"The Yellow Wind Cult is powerful. We are just mutually benefiting from each other and sticking together for warmth."

With a soft sigh, Jiang Chen made his stance clear.

Seeing this, Xin Yuan said nothing more.

In fact, this is the fundamental reason why the major cultivation families are willing to cooperate with Jiang Chen. In their view, the Yellow Wind Cult is powerful, and they need Jiang Chen, who has reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage, to hold back the Yellow Wind Hermit. Jiang Chen also needs their supporters to deal with the Yellow Wind Cult. Both sides have their own needs and have a natural basis for cooperation.

Under such circumstances, they were not afraid that Jiang Chen would exploit them too much, nor were they afraid that Jiang Chen would act ruthlessly against them. In the end, things developed much as they expected. The conditions offered by Jiang Chen were not too difficult. Although they would have to bleed a lot from them, they were still within their acceptable range.

Of course, another important reason for their decisiveness was that the Xuanjia Army was about to arrive. If they could delay for a while longer and wait for the Xuanjia Army to arrive, everything would be different. With Jiang Chen and Xin Yuan reaching an agreement, the cooperation between Yanqiu and the cultivation families was thus established.

After this news spread, the various cultivation families, who were originally filled with anxiety, immediately calmed down. At the same time, with the joint efforts of all the families, the reputation of the Frost Dragon spread throughout half of Changfeng County in a very short time, which also gave rise to many stories.

In these stories, the Yellow Wind Sect undoubtedly became the villain, while the Frost Dragon became a benevolent demon that would protect humans and dislike fighting, and from then on, the name of the Frost Dragon became widely known.

"To collude with demons and yet make it sound so high-sounding, these cultivation families in Changfeng County are indeed rotten to the core."

In Yellow Wind Valley, looking at the latest intelligence, Yellow Wind Hermit couldn't help but shake his head.

The Yellow Wind Cult had been aware of the alliance between Yanqiu and the various families before and had tried to stop it, but to no avail.

"Master, with Frost Dragon, Sand Weasel Demon, and Xin Yuan, Yanqiu now has one Qi Refining Perfection cultivator and two Qi Refining Great Completion cultivators. It won't be easy to deal with them."

With a furrowed brow, the Left Protector Black Vajra shared his opinion.

All things considered, the Huangfeng Cult currently only has one Qi Refining Perfection cultivator and three Qi Refining Great Completion cultivators. Although they are still stronger than the Yanqiu faction, the difference in strength is limited.

Upon hearing this, Huang Feng Sanren said nothing, but Hua Niangzi shook her head.

"Although that sand weasel demon has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, its greatest skill is escaping. Its direct combat strength is not strong. As for Xin Yuan, he was indeed not weak before, but in the previous battle, he damaged his foundation and was almost crippled. He is also not worth worrying about."

"From beginning to end, the only thing that truly deserves our attention is that Frost Dragon."

As she spoke, Lady Hua turned her gaze toward Huang Feng Sanren.

"Humans and demons are different, and the so-called alliance is nothing more than sticking together for warmth. Both sides have their own ulterior motives. Cultivation families don't trust Frost Dragon, and Frost Dragon doesn't trust cultivation families either. This may not be a bad thing for us."

"Since Frost Dragon has reached an agreement with the major cultivation families, let's use these families as bait to lure Frost Dragon out and see if it will come to their rescue when they face the danger of extinction."

"If it comes to me for help, I can have a go at it. If it doesn't, then the so-called alliance is nothing but a joke and will fall apart immediately."

Confident and composed, Huang Feng Sanren was not worried at all about Jiang Chen's cooperation with the major cultivation families. In his view, this was an opportunity. The reason he had no good way to deal with Jiang Chen before was mainly because Jiang Chen was almost all alone at that time and had no scruples.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of everyone present lit up. They had enough confidence in Huang Feng Sanren's strength. In their view, as long as he left Yanqiu, the so-called Frost Dragon would be no match for Huang Feng Sanren.

"The Master is a diviner."

Black King Kong spoke first, his words full of flattery.

Seeing this, everyone followed suit, and the atmosphere became much more lively.

Huang Feng Sanren didn't care about the compliments from the crowd. He quickly quieted everyone down and gave a series of instructions, the most important of which was to protect the major secret areas to prevent Frost Dragon from using the same trick again and switching places.

Soon, the entire Yellow Wind Sect was mobilized.
