The Eternal White Works Slowly Ascending the Immortal Path Slowly Ascending the Immortal Path Volume 1 Chapter 119: Prelude

  Time flies and it's been over two months again.

  Xiao Yao's side has been proceeding according to plan in a tight and secretive manner, with the arrangements nearing their end; on the other hand, Bao Zi and Xiao Sun are setting up an ambush while closely monitoring the movements of the four demons.

  Two days later, a jade slip recording this plan was handed over to Kong Yao. He roughly read it through once, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Departure after ten days, northeast direction, deep ditch...?"

  After a moment's thought, he threw the jade slip to the magpie and said, "You take a look too."

  The owl looked at it after finishing and angrily said: "What does this female demon want to do?! According to the subordinate's observation, there are many strange things in this, and many conditions are inexplicable. Why must we hide temporarily when we arrive? The location where the four demons hid the nameless fruit is so close to that mysterious pit, who knows if there will be any traps or ambushes if we follow their words, it's better for us to break the agreement."

  Kong Yao's reaction was unexpectedly calm, and he said lightly: "Isn't it clear on the Jade Simplification that hiding in the side is to avoid startling the snake, as for why the four demons would hide the nameless fruit near the pit, didn't she say that due to the earthquake, a deep pit appeared, and it was coincidentally discovered? This explanation doesn't seem unreasonable."

  "But Master, this female demon is certainly speaking nonsense! How can we completely believe her!" The owl bird said as it stepped forward, obviously somewhat anxious.

  Kong Yao didn't think much of it: "What's real and what's fake? I just need to confirm that the four demons really have 'spirit liquid' on them. Let you keep an eye on the four demons and that female demon for a month, how is the situation?"

  The master of the house didn't understand his own hard work, and although the sparrow was a bit discouraged, he still replied truthfully: "The four demons are still as usual, they don't seem to care about the current situation with the nameless fruit. It seems that they have prepared for it. As for that female demon..." He paused for a moment, "On the day she left the Floating Palace, she entered the inner island, and my subordinate followed her for a hundred million miles, but in the end... she still shook him off."

  "Hmph," Upon hearing this, Kong Yao coldly laughed and said, "Her precautions are indeed quite heavy. Now that the location of the four demons' hidden treasure is known, you can send someone to go take a look. Although I think it's likely that nothing will be found, trying one's luck is also good."

  The pheasant hangs its head, it's precisely because this woman is cunning and as soon as she entered the inner island, she shook him off. He was quite suspicious, if he had a clear conscience, why would he be afraid of people following?

  Kong Yao saw that he was still resentful, and patiently said: "Yue'er, do you think we have a choice in the current situation? The chips are in her hands, and in the unnamed city, it's not just our family that can cooperate. If she finds another three factions, what do you think the consequences will be? If they succeed in cooperating, where can our Ziyun Hong Pavilion stand in this unnamed city in the future? Although plotting with a tiger is risky, opportunities and crises coexist, and the greater the risk, the greater the benefit, it's worth taking the risk."

  The owl also knew that the current situation within and outside the gang was not optimistic, but he always felt that being led by a low-ranking female demon was really unbearable. Can't you counter her? He opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start, and half a minute passed without uttering a word.

  "You don't need to say any more," Kong Yao waved his hand to stop him, "The oath has been made, and it would be even less beneficial for us to break it. At least with the oath binding her, she won't dare reveal the matter to others again. Although we can't control her now, it's only temporary. When she needs our help to deal with the four demons, that will also be the time when we turn things around and take control of the situation. For now, let's just follow what she said and have her take responsibility for luring out the four demons, which would actually save us a lot of trouble. You just need to make thorough preparations for ten days later."

  The swallow and sparrow felt that things were too suspicious and couldn't be at ease, but since the master had made up his mind, they could only be vigilant at the time to ensure that no accidents occurred.

  Just as the master and servant were making detailed plans, Xiao Yao had already joined forces with Baozi Xiaolü on the inner island.

  When the leopard saw the four vows in Xiao Yao's hand, he couldn't help but suspect: "You deceive those demon cultivators like this, aren't you afraid that after 'practicing the demon pot', they will strike back at you?"

  Xiao Yao smiled: "No risk, no gain. I've already prepared myself to be beaten up by a group of people. Don't worry, they won't dare to go out, there's nothing outside that has the same effect as the Nameless Fruit for them to cultivate."

  "Hey, what if the 'Practicing Witch's Cauldron' can't produce any more nameless fruits?" The leopard looked at her with a smug expression and couldn't help but strike back: "The current situation is different from before. Now that the yuan pulse here has been damaged by you, it's almost impossible to form a thousand-year-old fruit. When the time comes, there will be many demon cultivators who want to get out of this place, and when they return to the Xianling Realm, they won't be able to use their xianqi anymore. What will you do then, with your fear of fighting and lack of courage, when facing a group of demon cultivators whose cultivation is higher than yours?"

  Xiao Yao blinked, not minding it saying she had no skills. "Isn't this 'Practicing Demon Vessel' array broken by you? How could I have done it? Moreover, didn't you say that it was only temporary damage and would repair itself in one or two thousand years? At that time, the growth of the Nameless Fruit will also return to normal. Why not tell them this before leaving?"

  "Ha! Naive! You've already deceived them once, will they still believe you next time?!"

  "Ah, this is indeed something I didn't consider," Xiao Yao thoughtfully rubbed her chin, but she didn't seem worried at all. "Forget it, can't control that much anyway! As long as we can get out, even if the heavens and earth are against us, we can still hide. As long as there's still a Nameless Fruit left, those old demons in the Refining Form stage will definitely not dare to come out."

  The leopard saw that she had made up her mind and didn't say anything more, changing the subject to: "As for the four demons, when do you plan to lead them into the Gathering Mind Array?"

  Xiao Yao thought for a moment and said: "Nine days later, slightly earlier than the four factions. Those four demons have special talents, it's not good to introduce them into the formation at the same time."

  "How dare you? Are you also going to make a pact with them?"

  Xiao Yao shook her head and denied, "The trick of 'empty-handed white wolf' is definitely useless against them. The only way is to plunder all the nameless fruits they planted, so even if they don't want to, they have to take this muddy water."

  "Leopard cub widened his eyes, 'You really plan on doing this?'"

  "Of course!" Xiao Yao said with a firm tone, and her eyes curved into a smile towards Little Yun, "The fruit is just in time for our family's Little Yun to cultivate."

  Suddenly being named, Xiao Yun was overwhelmed with gratitude, and even had tears in his eyes. He immediately expressed his loyalty to Xiao Yao, saying: "Fortunately, I have received the master's favor! Even if Xiao Yun is torn apart, he has no way to repay it!"

  Xiao Yao smiled and stroked the bird's head, Chun Chun instructed: "Good boy, these are all empty words. I don't expect you to be obedient and die for me either. Just don't chirp and chatter when we're bleeding next time."

  “……”

  The little leopard's body trembled, and his eyes instantly became extremely sorrowful. Suddenly, the leopard remembered its own history of being oppressed, and a sense of sympathetic suffering arose, opening its mouth to help the little leopard out: "When are we going to go get the nameless fruit?"

  Xiao Yao withdrew her hand from the little hawk's head, and her smile disappeared. "From the Shadow Symbol records of ten days ago, those four demons are on their way back to Nameless City. Judging from their direction, if nothing unexpected happens, they should arrive at Nameless City in two days' time. This is the best opportunity for us to take action. And from here to where they hide the Nameless Fruit, it's only a day's journey at most. We'll set out tomorrow and just make it. Before that, how are the array eyes you've set up around the area? This trip is perilous, and any slight carelessness could lead to death. Especially when it comes to the arrays, not even half a mistake can be allowed!"

  "Hmph!" The leopard let out another cold hum, expressing dissatisfaction with her repeated reminders, feeling that it was an insult to her own pride. "Who do you think I am?! As long as I'm in charge, any formation will be foolproof! You just take care of yourself and don't drag your feet!"

  "It's all right," Xiao Yao raised her head to look towards the direction of the nameless city, and unconsciously clenched her fists. To be honest, this was the first time she had set up such a large scheme, and with so many unpredictable variables, it was inevitable that she felt some tension and worry. However, now that things have come to this point, there's no choice but to see it through, and regret is already too late. Besides, she has no regrets. The path of cultivation is one of constant struggle, every step a battle, it all depends on whether you can overcome the difficulties and seize an opportunity, winning a chance at a magnificent immortal journey!

  Prelude to the tide? It's about to start a big fight. PS: The previous chapter made some minor changes, but it doesn't matter whether you re-read it or not. Speaking of which, someone has been updating later and later recently...... sleepy
