Chapter 920: A Scheme Within a Scheme! (Please Subscribe to All Chapters)

The Blazing Fire Jade is the most prized treasure of the Xuanhuang Sect; how could it be shown to others so easily?

But given the current situation, how could he dare to refuse?

Ning Xuan gritted his teeth, trying to remain calm.

"Master, you may not know this, but although the Fire Jade is in our possession, it is not a rare item."

"To be honest, Master, this treasure is just an ancient jade left by our ancestors. Although some tricks were used in its creation, it is ultimately nothing special."

He pretended to be nonchalant while secretly observing the scorpion's reaction.

But the Scorpion simply laughed it off.

"Elder Ning is too modest. How could a prestigious and righteous sect collect useless junk?"

"In my opinion, that Fire Jade must be an extraordinary item. Otherwise, how could the prestigious Xuanhuang Sect be so stingy as to refuse to even lend it out?"

The scorpion pressed closer and closer, aggressive and menacing.

Ning Xuan inwardly cried out in alarm, but outwardly he forced himself to remain calm.

"Master, you flatter me! Our Xuanhuang Sect has always prioritized benevolence and righteousness; how could we dare to neglect our honored guest?"

"However, the Fire Jade has a deep connection with our sect. If we show it to others easily, it may violate our ancestral teachings."

Ning Xuan shook his head repeatedly, his tone sincere.

"However, since the sect leader has spoken, I cannot refuse you. How about this, I will send someone to fetch it immediately, so that the sect leader can feast his eyes on it?"

Before he finished speaking, he ordered his servants to go.

Before long, several men in black carried in a vermilion lacquered wooden box and stopped in the center of the hall.

Ning Xuan stepped forward and opened the box in front of everyone.

Inside, there was a jade pendant about the size of a fist, its entire body a fiery red, radiating intense heat.

"Master, please look, this is the Fire Jade. Although it looks ordinary, it was forged through countless trials and tribulations, and it symbolizes good fortune, healing, and longevity."

Ning Xuan picked up the jade pendant and presented it respectfully.

The scorpion leaned closer for a closer look, a glint of greed in its eyes.

He reached out and took the jade pendant, feeling a warm current flow into his palm, which immediately invigorated him.

"As expected! Elder Ning is willing to lend me such a miraculous treasure?"

The Scorpion played with the Fire Jade, asking seemingly casually.

Ning Xuan was greatly alarmed, but forced himself to remain calm and said, "Of course. The Sect Leader is a distinguished guest of my Xuanhuang Sect. How could I dare to be stingy with a mere jade pendant?"

"However... please forgive my bluntness, but Your Excellency has come from afar; surely there are more important matters to discuss?"

He changed the subject, trying to steer the conversation away from the main point.

However, Scorpion didn't seem to buy it, and just chuckled.

"Elder Ning is joking. How could I, the dignified leader of the Five Poisons Sect, be so eager to please without a reason? I have come here with several important matters on my mind."

The Scorpion tucked the Fire Jade into his robes and sat down leisurely.

"First, regarding the whereabouts of that kid Ye Ming. My capable men have already set their sights on him, just waiting for the right moment to take him down in one fell swoop."

"If we manage to capture him, the Xuanhuang Sect must cooperate fully. We absolutely cannot let him escape again. This brat is unruly and will only cause trouble sooner or later!"

Ning Xuan nodded hurriedly and responded loudly.

"Secondly, I want to capture that girl named Xiao Yao alive and bring her back to the sect. This girl is very capable, and if we can recruit her, she will be of great benefit to our sect."

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the scorpion, its meaning profound.

"But Xiao Yao is a very shrewd girl and won't be easily fooled. That's why I came here this time to ask the Xuanhuang Sect for help."

Ning Xuan hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "What are your thoughts, Master? That girl Xiao Yao is no pushover; how should we proceed?"

"It's very simple."

The Scorpion sneered, uttering a startling statement.

"I'm going to use that brat Ye Ming as bait to lure Xiao Yao into the trap!"

He rubbed his hands together menacingly, his eyes filled with malice.

"You just need to make arrangements in secret and wait for the right opportunity. Once Xiao Yao falls into the trap and shows herself, I will have a way to capture her."

"In that case, both Ye Ming and Xiao Yao will be ours for the taking. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Ning Xuan was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

"Brilliant plan! Brilliant plan! We'll wait for the right opportunity these next few days and make our move to wipe out those two petty thieves in one fell swoop!"

The Scorpion nodded in satisfaction, a hint of smugness flashing in its eyes.

"There is one last thing. The Xuanhuang Sect has always prided itself on being a prestigious and upright sect, and acting with integrity and uprightness."

"But in my opinion, one must act according to the circumstances; otherwise, wouldn't we be crippling ourselves and waiting to be killed?"

His words were pointed and sarcastic.

Ning Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then understood.

"What the sect leader says is absolutely right. Ye Ming and his gang are so arrogant. If our Xuanhuang Sect doesn't retaliate, won't we be ridiculed?"

"Besides, these kinds of bandits don't deserve any benevolence or morality. To deal with them, we must nip them in the bud and fight fire with fire!"

As he spoke, his expression turned ferocious.

Scorpion laughed heartily and gave him a thumbs up.

"As expected of the leader of the Xuanhuang Sect, you truly have insight! Then it's settled. From this day forward, the Five Poisons Sect and the Xuanhuang Sect are brothers in arms!"

"We share the good times and the bad. If anyone dares to bully us again, we'll teach them a lesson they won't forget!"

Ning Xuan was overjoyed and quickly got up to smile obsequiously.

"The Master's plan is very thoughtful; I admire it greatly. I will immediately give the order to be on high alert!"

Before he finished speaking, he bowed and took his leave to make arrangements.

However, the Scorpion secretly curled the corners of his mouth and sneered inwardly.

"Xuanhuang Sect, Five Poisons Sect, use them as you please. In the end, there will only be one winner."

"As for whether you will live together or die together... that depends on fate."

Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on his face.

A moment later, in the secret chamber of Xuanhuang Gate.

Ning Xuan sat on the futon with a gloomy expression and his brows furrowed.

"The Corrupted Heart Token is real, but that face... it clearly looks like a disguise!"

"Besides, there's something off about that guy's behavior and speech. Could it be a trick by that kid Ye Ming?"

He was completely baffled and felt uneasy.

"But the Corrupted Heart Token did indeed come from the Five Poisons Sect. Could it be that Ye Ming got wind of it beforehand and took the opportunity to switch it out?"

"Sigh, whether it's true or false, we can only deal with it for now. If word gets out, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Ning Xuan took a deep breath, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"Ye Ming, Xiao Yao, you two little thieves, just you wait! Don't think you can turn the tables just because you've borrowed the Five Poisons Sect's power. I'll make sure you die a horrible death sooner or later!"

A sinister smile finally appeared on his face, chilling and terrifying.

At the same time, in Hundred Flowers Valley, which faces Xuanhuang Gate from afar, a figure flashed by.

It was Ye Ming!

He dropped his disguise, took out a chat jade talisman, and quickly started tapping it.

[Ye Ming (Cultivation World): Everyone, mission accomplished! Those fools from the Xuanhuang Sect really fell for our trap and are now trying to coordinate with us from within!]

[Sun Qianqian (Investiture of the Gods World): Wow! Little Ye, you're amazing! You actually fooled that old fox Ning Xuan!]

[Zhang Dapao (Biohazard World): Hahaha, Brother Ye, you're a hero! Now, won't the Xuanhuang Sect obediently surrender?]

[Cao Xiaoman (Zombie World): Awesome! Looks like we're going to win big this time!]

Overwhelmed by a barrage of compliments, Ye Ming quickly replied modestly:

[Ye Ming (Cultivation World): Not at all, this is all thanks to everyone's tremendous help. Without your assistance, my plan would have been truly difficult to implement.]

[Ye Ming (Cultivation World): But now is not the time to be happy. The real key is yet to come!]

[Jiang Tong (Naruto World): Brother Ye is right. Although the Xuanhuang Sect has been kept in the dark, they are no pushovers. We should proceed with caution and proceed step by step.]

[Chu Yanran (Tomb Raider World): That's right! Little Yezi, don't get too cocky! It won't be that easy if we really fight!]

Ye Ming nodded in agreement and made further arrangements.

[Ye Ming (Cultivation World): Rest assured, everyone, I know what I'm doing. I'll meet up with Fairy Xiao soon; everything is under control!]

Tonight at Hai hour (9-11 PM), the Xuanhuang Sect will host a banquet. I will act at that time, and I ask that you all provide covert support.

No matter what happens, do not act rashly. Wait for me to give the signal, then we will seize the opportunity and wipe out the entire Xuanhuang Sect!

Everyone agreed and went to make their own preparations.

Ye Ming smiled slightly, his eyes resolute.

"Xuanhuang Sect, Five Poisons Sect, your end is near."

"And I, Ye Ming, will rise to the top in this bloody storm!"

A confident smile flashed across his handsome face.

The stars are shining brightly, and the future is limitless.

...

As night fell, the Xuanhuang Gate was brightly lit.

A grand banquet is being prepared in full swing.

Masters from various schools gathered, each with their own ulterior motives.

Some came to gather information, some wanted to form alliances, and others were simply there to watch the spectacle.

Regardless of their purpose, everyone was filled with curiosity about the suddenly appearing "Five Poisons Cult Leader".

After all, the Five Poisons Sect has always been mysterious and unpredictable, and rarely participates in martial arts conflicts.

What is their cult leader's purpose in traveling such a long distance to come here?

Various speculations circulated among the guests, sparking much discussion.

However, the Xuanhuang Sect, as the host, appeared remarkably calm.

Ning Xuan, along with a group of elders, was setting up a banquet in the main hall.

Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were as cold as ice.

He subtly observed each guest, remaining vigilant in secret.

"Fellow Daoists, welcome to my humble abode. Today, the Xuanhuang Sect is honored to have the Five Poisons Sect Master grace us with his presence."

Ning Xuan picked up his wine glass, a smile on his face.
