Chapter 27: The Secret Plot of Mahavairocana Buddha's Magical Spirit Pearl

  "Even if you forced him to call off the wedding, is that really good for Qingling?"

  Ning Huaiyu's face changed suddenly, "Brother Han, what do you mean by this?!"

  "The engagement between Wang Guanlan and Qingling was known to everyone, and it's not something that can be eliminated with just a cancellation ceremony. Can't you see that? The so-called engagement is just a confirmation of the agreement between the two parties. Even if Wang Guanlan really calls off the wedding, Qingling will still bear the reputation of being a jilted bride!"

  "They are now just engaged verbally, how can a young girl like Qingling bear such a reputation?!"

  "What you think is your business, but you can't change the minds of everyone in the world. In their hearts, what's the difference between a verbal engagement and a written one? Moreover, people are treacherous, and there will always be some despicable individuals who love to do despicable things and think despicable thoughts - this is something that no one can prevent. So, even if we succeed in breaking Wang Guanlan's Five Elements Formation and disrupting the engagement, it won't actually help Qingling's reputation much, and may even harm her good name!"

  "What should I do?!" Concerned and confused, Ning Huaiyu was also a clever person. If he wasn't clever, he wouldn't have achieved so much in martial arts at such a young age. But now that the matter involved Qingling, his heart was really in disarray, yet he still maintained a thread of clarity. "Do I really have to kill Wang Guanlan?!"

  "It's true, only by killing Wang Guanlan can we protect Qingling's reputation and resolve this matter once and for all. As long as Wang Guanlan is alive, he will be a constant thorn in Qingling's heart, not only damaging her reputation but also greatly affecting her cultivation. You should know that Qingling's Heart Lake Sword Scripture emphasizes spiritual cultivation the most. If there's even a slight flaw in one's spirit, it would be extremely difficult to make progress in cultivation!"

  "So it's come to this, only killing Wang Guanlan will do!" Ning Huaiyu's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, "Are you going to kill him or should I?!"

  "We'll kill together!" Han Fu sneered, "Does Brother Huaiyu really think that you alone can kill Wang Guanlan?!"

  Ning Huaiyu was initially angry in her heart, but soon calmed down and understood the meaning behind Han Fu's words.

  Indeed, relying on him alone, exerting all his strength might be able to break through Wang Guanlan's formation and defeat Wang Guanlan, but wanting to kill Wang Guanlan is almost impossible.

  At the engagement ceremony, Fengming Valley will definitely be heavily guarded. Not to mention others, just the seven Huayi guards alone will have four guards present, one of whom is still under Wang Guanlan's control. Perhaps when Wang Guanlan accepts the challenge, he won't use them. But once his life is threatened, he will definitely use the Huayi guards. The power of the Dao army, he hasn't seen it before, but has heard about it. The destruction of the Bai Du Men a few months ago was the best footnote to the strength of the Dao army.

  Perhaps Huā Lí Wèi is not as good as Hēi Lí Jūn, but neither Ning Huái Yù nor the master of Bǎi Dú Mén and Lǎo Zǔ can be compared to him. The gap between them will only be greater than that between Huā Lí Wèi and Hēi Lí Jūn.

  "To kill Wang Guanlan, one must catch him off guard, and most importantly, be able to escape unscathed!" Han Fu said with no attempt to conceal his hostility and murderous intent towards Wang Guanlan, his voice cold and eerie. "If killing Wang Guanlan means sacrificing my own life, then it's not worth killing him!"

  "How easy it is to talk!" Hearing this, Ning Huaiyu finally sneered, "Even if we can kill Wang Guanlan quickly, can the Ning King's Mansion let us off? He may be a bastard son, but he is now the most valued son of the Ning King. Will they allow us to kill him?"

  "So timing is everything!" Han Fu said, "Although this is the territory of the Ning Wangfu, it's a major event, and apart from the Ning Wangfu and Jingling Lake, there will be many people from the martial arts world who come to watch the ceremony. This challenge is also a duel in name, and since it's a duel, life and death are naturally up to fate. Therefore, our first premise for taking action is that someone must be killed by Wang Guanlan. The killer is always killed, there is no rule that only allows you to kill but not be killed. So we can only wait until someone is killed before taking action!"

  "That makes sense!" Ning Huaiyu nodded slightly after a moment of consideration, acknowledging Han Fu's words.

  "When we make our move, it must be swift and decisive, and also make it seem like we're being forced into a corner. Only then can we shut Ning Wang's mouth and prevent him from causing us trouble in public. And after we succeed, we must leave the three southwestern states immediately. I don't think Ning Wang is magnanimous enough to let bygones be bygones with his son's killer. Even if he can't cause us trouble publicly, he'll definitely send someone to take revenge later. So, our escape route must be well-planned!"

  "A forced strike of desperation, a retreat after success, Brother Han, you're really thorough, it seems you have a lot of thoughts about Miss Qingling!"

  "Hehe! Han Fu didn't deny it, but instead smiled, "Qingling is like a fairy in the sky, who wouldn't be moved by her? However, being moved is one thing, but you can't use despicable means like Wang Guanlan!"

  "Not bad, as long as the means are upright and fair, each relying on their own abilities, I don't have much to say. It's people like Wang Guanlan who use despicable means to force Qingling to agree to marriage that stir up trouble! Ning Huaiyu puffed out her chest, exuding an intimidating aura, "I think I understand Brother Han's meaning now - you've got a thunderous move up your sleeve?!"

  "Not bad, I do have a way to make a lightning strike, but unfortunately, my personal strength is limited, and I'm not capable of it alone, which is why I asked Brother Huaiyu to come over and discuss it with me!" Han Fu didn't hide the truth either, "I want to kill Wang Guanlan, and it must be done in a way that makes it seem like we had no choice but to do so. Killing him in an ambush isn't because I'm underestimating you or myself, but rather because neither of us has the capability to do so."

  "Just say it if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush!" Ning Huaiyu said somewhat impatiently.

  "I have a spiritual device here that can accomplish this task, but it requires the simultaneous activation of five people's powers. We only have four people here, and with you added, we just happen to have exactly five people!"

  "Spiritual artifact?!!" Ning Huaiyu's expression changed, although he was also a renowned young strongman, but he didn't have any spiritual artifacts on him. Suddenly hearing that the other party had one made his heart skip a beat.

  "Look, it's this spirit tool!" Seeing Ning Huaiyu's expression, Han Fu secretly smiled in his heart, knowing that today's goal had almost been achieved. He then took out a red bead from his bosom and directly handed it to Ning Huaiyu.

  Ning Huaiyu subconsciously took over the pearl, and in an instant, a spiritual consciousness shot out from the pearl and imprinted itself into his sea of consciousness.

  "Great Power, King Kong Demon?!"

  "Not bad, Great Golden Guardian Deity!" Han Fu smiled, "To say that the power of this spiritual artifact is almost equivalent to a top-grade spiritual artifact, unfortunately, it can only be used once, and to use it even once, it requires a large amount of internal energy support. The four of us here don't have enough strength to do this, we need one more person. And I heard you arrived in Yicheng a few days ago, so I thought of you!"

  "You mean that in the formation, we will urge this Lingzhu to summon the mighty Vajra demon god and destroy Wang Guanlan?!"

  "Not bad, this Mahayana Golden Body Magic Spirit Pearl can release but not retrieve. The summoned Mahayana Golden Body Magic Spirit has the strength of a 9th layer cultivator. Wang Guanlan, no matter how formidable he is, will never be on guard in a situation where victory is already in his grasp. He's just a 4th layer cultivator, how can he possibly be a match for the Mahayana Golden Body Magic Spirit? Even a martial arts grandmaster would have to expend some effort to subdue a 9th layer Mahayana Golden Body Magic Spirit. Others simply won't be able to arrive in time to save him!"

  "Unbelievable! You're actually so sinister!" Ning Huaiyu glanced at Han Fei, "Indeed a smiling tiger!!"

  "Don't think you've got away with it and don't be so smug, killing Wang Guanlan won't make everything okay!"

  "You've even managed to get your hands on the Great Power Spirit Pearl, so I suppose you're also prepared for a way out?"

  "Not bad, I've also prepared a back route, and at that time, the Ning Wang Fu will not be able to touch even a single hair on our heads!" Han Fu said, "However, there is one condition!"

  "You asked me for help, yet you still want to set conditions for me?!"

  "This is for your own good, so you won't drag us down when the time comes!"

  "I'd like to hear it, what are the conditions?!"

  "When in action, listen to me and don't act on your own. This Mahavairocana Mantra can only be used once. If something goes wrong and things fall apart, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

  Ning Huaiyu's eyes narrowed, and a dangerous glint flashed at the bottom of his pupils. "Are you threatening me?!"

  "No, I'm just giving you some advice, and a warning!" Looking at Ning Huaiyu's unpleasant expression, Han Fei said calmly, "This isn't just your business, nor is it just mine. You like Qingling, don't you? If you successfully kill Wang Guanlan, you'll still have a glimmer of hope. But if you can't kill Wang Guanlan, then you won't even have that!"

  Ning Huaiyu looked at Han Fu deeply, "Alright, it's settled then. When the time comes, I'll join you in urging the Great Power of the Golden Vajra Demon!" After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

  "This kid is quite interesting!" Looking at Ning Huaiyu's back, a cold smile flashed across Han Fu's face. "If you didn't understand the Great Strength Golden Vajra Divine Ability, I wouldn't have looked for you. The Great Strength Golden Vajra Divine Ability can make the summoned Great Strength Golden Vajra Demon upgrade to a higher level, reaching the level of a Grandmaster. At that time, Wang Guanlan will be able to push the Five Elements Array to the extreme realm of heaven and earth, and it will be difficult for him to escape with his life. However, the price is that you will become the sacrifice for the Great Strength Golden Vajra Demon, Zhu Qianbei has calculated everything, but this time, it's a pity for Brother Huaiyu!!"
