Chapter 46: Bai Xiao's Scheme, Sun Yuan Deploys the Soul-Confusing Formation
Now that things have finally taken shape, as long as he can openly enter the Orthodox Alliance, after controlling half of the power of the Orthodox Alliance, with Bai Xiao's old and cunning means and power, it is only a matter of time before controlling the Orthodox Mountain Villa. Thinking that the treasure he had been searching for in vain for many years was about to fall into his own hands, even with Bai Xiao's hundred-year-old city, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel some excitement.
"Ancestor, the person has arrived and is waiting outside the hall!" A disciple walked in, knocked on the door, and Bai Xiao Lao Guai hastily put away the treasure map, reattached the brocade box to his body, and said "Pass down the order, set up a banquet, I want to drink a few cups with the noble guest together. Call out the Twelve Golden Hairpins and tell them that they must serve this noble guest well. When the time comes, I, the ancestor, will heavily reward them!"
"Yes, disciple will go and do it right away!" The green-robed disciple's expression changed, and he couldn't help but look at the young man outside the door with a different gaze. These twelve golden hairpins were each an absolute beauty, with faces like goddesses and figures like demons. Only when facing someone of the same level as himself would White Xiao send them out to entertain everyone. Normally, they were White Xiao's forbidden fruit, and even his trusted followers couldn't get close to them unless they were core disciples.
The orders were quickly passed down, and the banquet began. The twelve beautiful girls surrounded Zhou Liang, constantly inquiring about some news of the Righteous Gas Alliance. Zhou Liang, this Jianghu rookie, was completely unaware, but he would have liked to tell them even the color of his own underwear. In the time it took to finish a meal, Bai Xiao, the old monster, had gained a 70-80% understanding of the situation with the Righteous Gas Alliance, and had complete confidence in seizing control of the Righteous Gas Manor. As for Chen Li or not Chen Li, they were all just floating clouds. From his perspective as an extremely skilled master, at this point, the only thing that needed to be considered was how to make this matter even more rationalized.
The next day, a rumor spread throughout the Jianghu that Zhou Liang, the younger brother of the deputy leader of the Zhengqi Alliance, was seen by Bai Xiao Lao Guai while passing by the White Flower Fortress. At that time, Bai Xiao Lao Guai had a crush on him and highly valued his talent. He immediately took Zhou Liang into the fortress as his adopted son. Even the twelve golden hairpins, which were his most treasured possessions, were broken up, with the first one given to Zhou Liang as his concubine. At that time, news of Zhou Liang spread throughout this remote and desolate Jianghu.
Zheng Qi Bao, Zhou Lang had just gotten out of bed with Bai Wuduan when he received news from his subordinates. Suddenly, a look of joy appeared on his face. In his opinion, this was clearly a sign that Bai Xiao Lao Guai had agreed. However, he also had some doubts in his heart - was Bai Xiao Lao Guai making a big deal out of nothing? Or did he really see something special in Zhou Liang's qualifications? At this moment, Zhou Liang's importance in Zhou Lang's eyes increased by several degrees. For the first time, Zhou Lang looked at this half-brother with a serious gaze.
In the inn of Lizhou Prefecture, where Zheng Qi's alliance was located, Chen Li frowned as he listened to the news from a group of Jianghu people on the wine floor. The news about Bai Xiao and Zhou Liang had almost spread throughout Lizhou Prefecture. At this moment, even if Chen Li didn't go to inquire, the news about them flew in front of him like it had grown wings.
"What? That white-haired old freak is quite formidable?" Sun Yuan still had his cloak wrapped around him, and the hand that was holding a chicken leg was currently devouring it with gusto. However, he had used an illusion to conceal the original shape of his arm, making it look more like a normal person's arm.
"Bai Xiao Lao Guai has been famous for decades, and is renowned throughout the entire Li Zhou Prefecture. It's said that over a decade ago, he was already an unparalleled master. Now, who knows what level his cultivation has reached!" Chen Li Ming was visibly worried, and the wine cup in his hand had not made it to his lips several times.
"Don't worry, you're also a top-notch expert now. In my opinion, you're not necessarily weaker than him. Come on, let's drink! Even if you can't handle it, I'm here for you, right? The matters of the Mountain God can't be interfered with by ordinary people. Don't worry, if you can't handle it, I'll take care of it." Sun Yuan waved his hand and poured wine into his mouth.
"This is just one aspect, I really don't understand why Bai Xiao would help Zhou Lang? With his identity, even the entire Zheng Qi Alliance wouldn't be in his eyes. For Chen Li who understood the inside story of things, he saw through the hidden things behind this matter at a glance. Two days before the full meeting of the Zheng Qi Alliance, Bai Xiao's move was clearly to support Zhou Lang."
"Haha, this is not something to be said lightly! Now thinking about these things is useless, with this skill you might as well take a closer look at the Nine Yang Scripture. As long as your cultivation improves, who cares about White Haired Old Monster or Red Haired Old Monster? If you don't like him, just chop him off. Come on, come on, it's been a long time since I've tasted such good craftsmanship. This dog meat is really delicious." Sun Yuan directly grabbed a piece of dog meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
In the midst of a modern city, Sun Yuan had been drifting for a long time, and was accustomed to the bright lights and bustling atmosphere of restaurants. But when he suddenly saw this ancient-style small shop with its loft and wine house by the window, with all sorts of cooked meats and vegetables on display, his heart became excited. He thought back to how he had always had such desires in the past - to eat large chunks of meat and drink from big bowls of wine - and now that they were finally being fulfilled, Sun Yuan was overjoyed. At this moment, he felt like an ancient poet drinking by the window, and if he weren't truly unable to write poetry, today he would have improvised a few lines of melancholic verse.
Chen Li could only smile wryly, for in the past few days of traveling together, he had discovered that this mountain god's messenger seemed to have never been to the mortal world before, and was curiously fascinated by many things, apparently having indeed never set foot in the mortal world.
After listening to Sun Yuan's words, Chen Li thought for a moment and felt that the other party also made sense. As long as his own cultivation improved, he didn't care about any conspiracy or tricks. He just needed to punch forward with one fist, which was the essence of using brute force to break cleverness.
Chen Li suddenly felt relieved and opened up, cup after cup with Sun Yuan.
Justice Alliance headquarters, Justice Manor backyard. At this time, Bai Wuduan started a new day of revelry, Chen Li had no news for a day, and Bai Wuduan couldn't relax for a day. She thought that by doing so, she could forget these unpleasant things, but the fact of the past few days told her that this approach failed.
Facing the Justice Alliance's conference tomorrow, Bai Wushuang found himself with nothing to do after stopping his usual indulgences. Feeling extremely bored, he invited a few courtesans over and started an unbridled party in the backyard, filling the entire area with ** atmosphere.
At this time, Zhou Lang was busy making arrangements for tomorrow's meeting and didn't have the time to deal with Bai Wushuang. He just sent a team of guards to protect the backyard and that was it. As for Zhou Liang, he was on his way with Bai Xiao Lao Guai and wouldn't arrive until tomorrow. For the time being, no one could restrain Bai Wushuang, and her actions became more and more unscrupulous.
On a fake hill in the backyard, two black shadows were quietly crouching, while the elite guards patrolling outside the backyard had no idea that someone had entered.
"This is your wife, eh! Hearing a hundred times isn't as good as seeing once. Now it seems that your wife is indeed more formidable than you. Let me count... one, two, three, four, five, six, seven! Isn't that right? Your wife can actually take on eight at once. How did you satisfy her before? This really makes me curious!" Sun Yuan clicked his tongue in amazement, watching the intense battle unfolding before him with a somewhat speechless expression.
"Bai Wuduan, you shameless woman! How dare you do such a thing in broad daylight? You truly have no sense of shame!" Chen Li's face turned iron-gray, his teeth clenched and grinding audibly. He had heard rumors from the Jianghu before, but he hadn't quite believed them. However, now that he had witnessed this scene with his own eyes, Chen Li couldn't help but believe it. At this point, there was nothing more to say.
After a day of rushing, Sun and Yuan arrived at the headquarters of the Justice Alliance one day ahead of schedule. At this time, when they were eating in the surrounding villages, some rumors about Chen Li's original wife Bai Wuduan entered their ears, which made Chen Li, who was betrayed by Bai Wuduan but still had a hint of fantasy in his heart, wonder how he could be calm, so they took action to sneak into the Justice Manor in broad daylight.
Thanks to Chen Li's familiarity with the villa and their super strong cultivation, they managed to dodge wave after wave of guards and directly broke into the backyard of the villa. As a result, as soon as they entered, they saw this scene.
"This is your family matter, I don't want to say anything either. Alright, I'll cover for you here and give you five minutes to do what you need to do. In these five minutes, it's as if nothing has happened here, and the guards outside won't notice a thing either. Do whatever you need to do, and just call me when you're done." Sun Yuan patted Chen Li on the shoulder, understanding deeply how he felt at this moment.
"It's fine, great kindness doesn't need to be thanked," Chen Li clenched his lips tightly, a streak of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, revealing just how strong the hatred in his heart was.
Sun Yuan patted Chen Li's shoulder silently, and then jumped out of the fake mountain, rushing outside. At this time, the patrol team outside had decreased, perhaps because of the reason that the mountain villa was as safe as a golden soup, from the original three teams patrolling to one team, and the other two teams were all sitting under the tree shade to cool off.
Good monkey, one somersaulted down the wall head, both hands pinched incantations, pointed forward, a stock of misty fog surged out, but it was directly hit on the two small teams' members who were chatting. How could these ordinary people withstand Sun Yuan's magic? After inhaling a small amount of mist, one by one they fell east and west, and soon entered their dreams.
These people gathered together are easy to fool, the trouble is that this group is moving around. Looking at this group of people walking under the tree shade, Sun Yuan patted his head and suddenly had an idea. He saw him move his body, closely following up, and jumped onto a big tree in a few steps. After the crowd left this place, Sun Yuan chanted incantations, but actually performed a simple soul-dizzying technique on the spot. The principle is similar to that of "ghost hitting the wall", both of which must rely on the environment to achieve. In short, it's about utilizing human visual differences, making people constantly circle around something in a daze.
After a while, the patrol team passed by here again. Sun Yuan's hand moved slightly, and a puff of fog was thrown down from the tree. The patrol members inhaled it, and their minds remained clear, but they were always a little hesitant. They started walking along the route set up by Sun Yuan, and soon completed a cycle. It wasn't until then that Sun Yuan let out a sigh of relief. This Soul-Confusing Technique was considered successful. What was left was much simpler - as long as he could keep them in this state of movement, Sun Yuan was confident that he could deceive the patrol personnel who would be passing by the backyard later.
As expected, without Sun Yuan's control, these people continued to circle around the big tree. After that, several patrol personnel from the mountain villa passed by, but they just looked at the crowd still moving and left. On such a hot day, plus the villa guards were so tight, they really didn't want to come over and take a look. Most importantly, after coming over, they would have to be disturbed by Bai Wudang's voice. If they got frustrated on such a hot day and couldn't vent, it would be too cruel. Therefore, they looked at each other and saw that there were still people patrolling, so they left with peace of mind, but didn't know that the moaning sound in the backyard had stopped long ago, replaced by screams!
