I run a casino in the immortal realm.

"The Blood Soul Valley front is the defense zone of the Heavenly Demon Sect's 'Blood Fiend Camp'."

Zheng Yifei's lips curled into a confident smile: "I've already reached an agreement with Ye Tianqiong. He will arrange for disciples from the Heavenly Demon Sect to liaise with me. The demonic cultivators from the Blood Fiend Camp will definitely not go all out. On the battlefield, both sides will only surround and not kill, fighting a tacit battle!"

Su Chenyuan's hand tightened around the jade pendant, and an unbelievable, ecstatic gleam erupted in his cloudy eyes: "You...you're telling the truth? The Demonic Sect will cooperate with our act?!"

"It's absolutely true. I own 50% of the shares in the Heavenly Demon Sect's Super Gambling House. In order to preserve the strength of the Azure Cloud Sect, I gave up 10% of the profits."

Zheng Yifei sneered: "Demonic cultivators are greedy. As long as they are given enough spirit stones, they will call you father. What's more, it's just a show."

Qin Cang wants to use the Demonic Sect to kill our people, so let's show him what it means to have money to make the devil turn the millstone!

Su Chenyuan took several deep breaths before he could barely suppress the turmoil in his heart.

He looked at the young man in front of him as if he were looking at a monster. This young man had single-handedly maneuvered between the two super sects of righteousness and evil, and had manipulated the Nascent Soul stage experts at will. His wisdom and courage were simply monstrous!

"Good! Good! Good!" Su Chenyuan said "good" three times in a row, his eyes slightly reddening. "If this can really be done, then the five thousand elites of my Qingyun Sect will be saved! Zheng Yifei, on behalf of the entire Qingyun Sect and these five thousand families, I thank you for your great kindness!"

As he spoke, Su Chenyuan actually stood up to bow.

Zheng Yifei quickly reached out to support him: "Fifth Elder, you flatter me. I am a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, and the Qingyun Sect is my home. I will never stand by and watch my own people go to their deaths."

After the initial excitement, Su Chenyuan quickly calmed down and regained his composure as an elder.

He frowned slightly and raised the most crucial question: "Yifei, although your plan is perfect, the Xuantian Sect is not stupid. Zeng Feng personally led the team this time. After arriving at Blood Soul Valley, the Xuantian Sect will definitely send out a supervisory team, and there may even be Golden Core stage experts secretly monitoring them."

If we act too fake on the battlefield, with not a single corpse, they will immediately notice something is amiss.

"At that time, with the added charges of disobeying imperial orders and colluding with the demonic path, the Qingyun Sect will truly be doomed."

"That's precisely why I've come to discuss this with you."

A glint of light flashed in Zheng Yifei's eyes as he pointed to the table: "Fifth Elder, if we're going to put on a show, we have to go all the way. We need to give the Xuantian Sect the 'battle casualties' they want, but those who die must not be our people."

"you mean?"

"First, the magical light and shadow must be large."

Zheng Yifei said in a deep voice, "I will send a signal to the Blood Fiend Camp through special channels. When the two sides are fighting, do not be stingy with your spiritual power. Use all kinds of large-scale spells and talismans to smash into the sky. Make the momentum as grand as possible so that the supervising team in the distance will think that we are fighting to the death."

Su Chenyuan nodded: "That's not difficult. Just prepare more low-level explosive talismans and you can do it."

"Second, regarding the bodies and casualties."

Qin Cang wants to see dead people, so we'll show them to him. Monsters roam the Blood Soul Valley area, so we can hunt down a group of ape-like monsters similar in size to humans beforehand, or steal some corpses from other battlefields, dress them in Qingyun Sect attire, and disfigure them beyond recognition with sword energy.

In the chaos of battle, the supervisory teams wouldn't be able to examine every single corpse.

"Furthermore, we can use the array plates given by Elder Wan to set up illusion arrays and fog arrays in the battle area. As long as we block the surveillance team's view, what happens inside is entirely up to us, isn't it?"

Su Chenyuan nodded repeatedly, his eyes sparkling with admiration: "Brilliant! The truth and the falsehood are intertwined, and even if the Xuantian Sect has any doubts, they won't be able to find any substantial evidence against us."

Moreover, we can periodically send some "seriously wounded" disciples back to the rear camp to recuperate, which can both reduce the risks on the front lines and create the illusion of a fierce battle.

"That's right."

Zheng Yifei smiled and continued, "As for me, Zeng Feng assigned me to the suicide squad, which actually helped me a lot. The suicide squad's mission is to go deep behind enemy lines to gather intelligence and eliminate enemy strongholds."

This gave me a legitimate excuse to escape the Xuantian Sect's purview.

Zheng Yifei pointed to himself: "I will personally lead the suicide squad deep into the heart of Blood Soul Valley. Ostensibly, it's a suicide mission, but in reality, I'm going to liaise with the higher-ups of the Blood Fiend Camp. My intelligence network will use clandestine channels to deliver the top-grade cultivation pills I need to the front lines."

This Blood Soul Valley, which is hell for others, is the safest secluded cultivation sanctuary for me, Zheng Yifei!

Su Chenyuan was completely impressed by Zheng Yifei's elaborate scheme.

He originally thought this expedition was a death sentence, but unexpectedly, thanks to Zheng Yifei's efforts, it turned into a publicly funded trip and paid training!

"Yifei, what's wrong with your brain?"

Su Chenyuan couldn't help but sigh, "If Qin Cang knew that the deadly trap he painstakingly set up was so easily resolved by you, and even became a stepping stone for your cultivation, he would probably be so angry that he would suffer a qi deviation on the spot."

I don't know if he's angry or not, but I do know that two years from now, I'll give him a huge 'surprise'.

Zheng Yifei sneered, a flash of murderous intent disappearing in his eyes.

With two years of experience, the aid of a massive amount of top-grade pills, and the top-tier resources provided by the Heavenly Demon Sect, he was absolutely confident in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage and even glimpsing the path to the Golden Core.

"Alright! Since you've already planned everything, this old man will go crazy with you!"

Su Chenyuan slapped his thigh and said with great pride, "When we arrive at Blood Soul Valley, I will use my identity as the Fifth Elder to reorganize all the teams, place absolutely loyal disciples in key positions, and sacrifice a small number of disciples if necessary to ensure that the supervisory team will not suspect anything."

"Thank you, Fifth Elder!"

Zheng Yifei clasped his hands in a deep fist salute. He understood the Fifth Elder's caution. After all, there were five thousand disciples, and it was impossible to guarantee that every disciple would be absolutely loyal. If the news leaked, the Xuantian Sect would surely wipe out the Qingyun Sect under the pretext of colluding with the Demon Sect.

Therefore, some disciples must be killed or wounded.

Inside the soundproof array, the two meticulously reviewed the rendezvous code, the intelligence transmission route, and various contingency plans for dealing with the Xuantian Sect's surprise inspection.

They discussed it for a full hour until every detail was confirmed to be correct. Only then did Zheng Yifei use the "Thousand Illusions Transformation" again, restoring the plain-looking face of "Xu Zhengyuan".

"Fifth Elder, I'll head back now, lest I arouse Zeng Feng's suspicion by staying away for too long."

Zheng Yifei put away the array flags and said in a low voice.

Go ahead, and be careful in everything you do.

Su Chenyuan watched Zheng Yifei's retreating figure, his eyes filled with hope.

Zheng Yifei quietly left the cabin and returned to the cramped space on the lower level. He sat cross-legged, listening to the howling wind outside the airship, a cold smile curving his lips.

Blood Soul Valley, a meat grinder between good and evil?

No, that will be the battleground where Zheng Yifei will rise to power in the Southern Wilderness.

The massive warship streaked across the night sky in a long trail of flame, like three ferocious beasts, before plunging headlong into the endless mountain range stained red with blood.

A grand, farcical drama, involving deception and manipulation, is about to unfold on this brutal battlefield.
