Chapter 2156 Setting up a Trap
"A great gift? What great gift?" Ding Yi obviously didn't understand.
Ling Xuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Master Ding, have you forgotten the eldest son of the Huanyu Sword Sect?"
"Zuo Guihong?" Ding Yi said in surprise.
"Exactly!"
Ling Xuan narrowed her eyes and said leisurely: "This man is extremely licentious and loves the way of dual cultivation. He is also well-known in the Yunmeng Mountains. Relying on his father being the master of the Huanyu Sword Sect, I don't know how many beautiful female cultivators he has harmed."
Ding Yi understood what she meant in an instant.
"Could it be that you..."
"Hehe." Ling Xuan smiled slightly: "This sister Bai is a rare beauty. I think there are really few people who can compare with her in the Yunmeng Mountains. In addition to the elegant and extraordinary temperament of the sword fairy, I don't believe that Zuo Guihong will not be moved."
After hearing this, Ding Yi's face was a little complicated.
He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Zuo Guihong is not a kind man. You are pushing Bai Qingruo into the fire pit... After all, she saved us. It's too unkind to do this."
"Humph!"
Ling Xuan snorted coldly, her eyes like lightning: "Master Ding, why are you pretending to be a good person? Now, our two sects are already in danger, and there are people around who are ready to annex our sects. If we can't climb up to the Huanyu Sword Sect smoothly, then disband the sect as soon as possible and hand over all the resources here to others!"
"This..."
Ding Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "Well, the sect is in danger of survival, so there is no need to be soft-hearted. Just... do as you say."
…………
Three days later.
Huanyu Sword Sect, Longque Peak.
A young man in brocade robes lay on the soft couch, and eight gorgeous female cultivators knelt beside him. They were all dressed very thinly, and their graceful figures were looming.
These female cultivators were respectful. Some of them massaged his legs, some massaged his shoulders, and some fed him wine... Everyone flattered the man.
But the man was dismissive of these female cultivators and didn't even look at them.
At this moment, the man was staring at a portrait not far away.
The portrait was floating in the air. There was a woman in white in the painting, with eyebrows like distant black, eyes like autumn water, and a gentle and elegant aura that was incompatible with the world.
"Wonderful!"
The man drank a glass of fine wine, opened the folding fan in his hand, and seemed to be intoxicated by the beauty of the woman in the portrait. He nodded slightly with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard on the mountain road.
"Young Master, someone wants to see you down the mountain!" The person reported respectfully.
The man frowned slightly, waved the folding fan, and the cold wind swept out.
The man was blown by the cold wind, and he screamed, spitting blood, and flew backwards for dozens of feet until he hit a big rock.
The female cultivator kneeling next to him immediately scolded: "You blind man, don't you know that the young master is "appreciating flowers"? You are looking for death by disturbing him at this time!"
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die!" The man didn't care about his injuries and kept kowtowed on the ground.
"Forget it."
The man put away his folding fan, lay on the couch without moving, and said leisurely: "Tell me, who wants to see this young master."
The man was as if he had been pardoned, and immediately replied: "It's Ling Xuan, the leader of Menghua Sect."
"Menghua Sect?" The man frowned slightly and murmured: "Isn't that a vassal sect of Moyin Valley? Why did she come to me?"
"It is said that... there is a big gift for the young master."
"Oh?" The man chuckled and said: "Then let her come up."
"Yes!"
The man got the order and immediately turned around and went down the mountain.
At this time, a female cultivator beside the man suddenly laughed and said, "Young Master, I heard that this sister Ling Xuan is very beautiful. Could her so-called 'gift' be herself?"
When this was said, all the female cultivators kneeling beside him burst into laughter.
The man also smiled slightly, but with a bit of disdain: "Ling Xuan? She is just a common woman. Even if she takes the initiative to come to my door, it depends on whether I am willing to accept her."
After hearing this, the female cultivators looked at each other and smiled again.
After a while, a woman in a red dress climbed up the Longque Peak.
"Greetings, young master." The woman lowered her eyebrows and head, looking very respectful.
"Are you Ling Xuan?" The man glanced at her sideways, too lazy to get up, and still lay on the couch.
"That's right."
"Haha, you are quite courageous. Menghua Sect is not a subsidiary sect of Huanyu Sword Sect, but you dare to come here alone."
"Ling Xuan came here to lead Menghua Sect to join Huanyu Sword Sect."
"Oh?"
The man showed a teasing look on his face: "If I remember correctly, your Menghua Sect stood firmly on the side of Demon Sound Valley. I remember your master once said that he was willing to shed his last drop of blood for Demon Sound Valley... Why is it different when it comes to you?"
Ling Xuan The man's expression did not change at all: "My master is conservative and deserves to die. My Menghua Sect is willing to turn from darkness to light and only serve Huanyu Sword Sect from now on."
"Hahaha!"
The man laughed: "Ling Xuan, Ling Xuan, I think you are the idiot! Your Menghua Sect can betray the Demon Sound Valley today, but can't betray my Huanyu Sword Sect tomorrow? Besides, my Huanyu Sword Sect has no shortage of manpower now. Wouldn't it be better to just destroy you and then grab the resources?"
Ling Xuan was slightly stunned after hearing this, and her face became a little ugly.
But she quickly adjusted her mentality and forced a smile again: "Eldest Young Master, I sincerely surrender to the Huan Yu Sword Sect. For this reason, I have specially prepared a gift for you. I hope that the Eldest Young Master can say a few kind words in front of the sect master. "
"What gift?" the man asked lazily.
Ling Xuan had already noticed the portrait the moment she reached the top of the mountain. Without any hesitation, she reached out and pointed at the woman in the painting and said with a smile: "She is the gift!"
"Um?"
The joking look on the man's face gradually disappeared, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at her for a while.
"Ling Xuan, what do you mean?"
"It means that I have a way to help the eldest son get this sword fairy sister."
"joke!"
The man said coldly: "I am the young master of the Huanyu Sword Sect. Is there any woman in this million-mile Yunmeng Mountain that I can't get and need your help?"
Ling Xuan smiled slightly: "If you use barbaric means to rob, the eldest son will naturally not need Ling Xuan, but if you want to win the heart of Sister Sword Fairy, then I am afraid you will have to rely on Ling Xuan to help. Is Ling Xuan still useful? It’s useless, it depends on how you want to play.”
As soon as these words came out, the Cage Peak became very quiet.
The man did not speak, and the female cultivators kneeling beside him did not dare to speak. The scene became very strange.
After a moment, the man suddenly laughed: "Hahaha! Lingxuan, Lingxuan, you are more useful than your useless master. Menghua Sect is passed to you, you are lucky!"
After hearing this, Ling Xuan looked overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down on the ground.
"Subordinate Ling Xuan, please see the eldest son!"
"Um."
The man stood up from the soft couch, walked to her side, and touched the top of her head with his hand.
“Do you know why I named this peak ‘Caged Bird Peak’?”
"I don't know, I don't know." Ling Xuan lowered her eyebrows.
"Because I imprisoned all the female cultivators I collected here. They all had their own characteristics at the beginning, but over time, they all turned into birds in a cage, and they all obeyed me. They were very boring."
When the man said this, his eyes turned and fell on the portrait not far away.
"The woman in this painting is really strange. I don't want her to surrender to me so quickly. I want to enjoy this process slowly. Do you understand what I mean?"
After hearing this, Ling Xuan immediately responded respectfully: "I understand! In four days, my Menghua Sect's Lingmeng Youtan' will bloom. This flower has the miraculous effect of illusion. I have invited Bai Qingruo to enjoy the flowers together." , then the young master can arrive first, meet the beautiful woman by chance, and then go boating in the sea of flowers, wouldn't it be beautiful? "
"Okay, okay."
The man put his hands on his hands and smiled: "You handled things properly and won my heart. You are much easier to use than rough guys like Duan De and Yu Wenxiong."
After hearing this, Ling Xuan felt happy.
She knew she was at the right place. Although Duan De and Yu Wenxiong took the lead and gave Bai Qingruo's portrait to Zuo Guihong, they couldn't come up with any ideas, let alone Zuo Guihong's thoughts.
Because of my careful thinking, I have climbed up the big tree of Huanyu Sword Sect from today on, and now I have the capital to gain a foothold in Yunmeng Mountain.
"I'll leave the matter to you, go ahead." The man waved his hand.
"yes."
Ling Xuan saluted respectfully and then left Cangque Peak.
The man turned around and his eyes stayed on the portrait for a long time.
"Bai Qingruo, is this your name? I am actually looking forward to meeting you..."
…………
After more than ten days, Liang Yan led his disciples to open up a dojo, and magnificent palaces rose from the ground.
A majestic sect appeared in the originally deserted mountain range!
Looking from a distance, the tall mountain gate is like a pillar holding the sky, majestic and solemn. The plaque on the gate is engraved with four powerful characters, which are: "Unparalleled Sword Sect"!
On the main peak, inside the main hall, Liang Yan was sitting on a golden wooden chair.
Below, Li Xiran, Xiong Yuer and other disciples stood on the left and right, with Bai Qingruo standing in the middle, reporting the results of his mission to Liang Yan.
"...So far, there are a total of one hundred and twenty-eight sects in Yunmeng Mountain, and thirty-six of them have accepted our invitations. The rest of the sects are non-committal and have not made a clear stance."
"Have the three major sects, Demonic Sound Valley, Qianfu Sect, and Huan Yu Sword Sect, accepted the invitations?" Liang Yan said calmly.
"Moyin Valley and Qianfu Sect have accepted them, but their sect masters will not come forward. I guess they may send elders and the like. As for the Huan Yu Sword Sect... I can't even enter the sect, and I was directly rejected. It's out the door." When Bai Qingruo said this, his tone was a little stronger, and he was obviously a little angry.
"Yes, I understand." Liang Yan nodded slightly: "You have worked hard these days. If you have nothing to do now, go and rest."
"Yes, Master."
The disciples bent down to salute and slowly exited the hall.
Only Bai Qingruo did not leave, standing in the hall with a tangled look on his face.
Liang Yan glanced at her and asked, "What else do you want?"
"Disciple does have something to report..."
Bai Qingruo thought for a while and finally told what happened to him in Menghua Sect.
"...The situation is like this. Lingxuan invited me three times in a row. I couldn't bear to make her look bad, so I agreed to visit the Menghua Sect in two days. By the way, I also wanted to see what the 'Lingmeng Youtan' looked like."
Speaking of this, Bai Qingruo paused, lowered his head and said: "After being reminded by Master, the disciple did not want to get close to Ling Xuan, but she invited her again and again, and the disciple agreed in a moment of weakness. Looking back afterward, , I feel it is necessary to report this matter to Master."
Liang Yan smiled slightly after hearing this.
"Qingruo, Qingruo, you have been in Spirit Snake Valley for a long time, and you always have a crush on female cultivators who look weak."
"disciple……"
"alright."
Liang Yan waved her hand and interrupted her: "It doesn't matter. You are my disciple. There is no place within a million miles of Yunmeng Mountain that you cannot go to. Since Ling Xuan sincerely invites you, go and take a look at the spirit." What’s so mysterious about Meng Youtan?”
After hearing this, Bai Qingruo looked a little more relaxed.
Liang Yan pointed again, and a ball of gray spiritual power flew out and landed on Bai Qingruo's hair.
"After all, we are new here, and we don't know much about the situation in Yunmeng Mountain. In order to prevent accidents, I will leave a magic power on you, which can be used to break the situation when you encounter danger."
Bai Qingruo felt a warmth surge in his heart, and he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master!"
"Go on, you have all worked hard during this period, so relax." Liang Yan waved his hand.
"Farewell, disciple." Bai Qingruo slowly exited the hall.
After she left, a dark wind suddenly blew in the quiet hall.
Behind Liang Yan, a mass of demonic energy was seen flowing uncertainly, gradually condensing into a figure.
This man is tall and thin, with a sinister face and long black hair hanging down behind him. He is none other than the demon master Ni Jiayue!
During the hundred years he spent in Wushuang City, Liang Yan had reshaped his physical body. Now, like Li Xiaosong, he could act alone, and his strength was equivalent to the peak of the sub-sage of a human monk.
"hey-hey!"
As soon as he appeared, he sneered: "This is obviously a trap. Your apprentice is naive and can't see the mystery. How could you, an old devil, not know it? Why didn't you point it out just now?"
Liang Yan's face was calm and he said calmly: "If I want to establish a sect here, I have to kill some people for their prestige. That's fine, I just want to see whoever is short-sighted and bumps into my hands. I'll kill them as a warning to avoid any trouble." "
Ni Jiayue smiled and said: "You old devil Liang, you are murderous!"
Liang Yan thought for a moment and then said: "Go and follow Bai Qingruo secretly, don't let anyone find out, including herself."
"no problem."
Ni Jiayue chuckled: "By the way, do you need me to do things like killing people? I have plenty of means to let them 'enjoy' them."
"No need, just protect my apprentice in secret."
When Liang Yan said this, he paused and narrowed his eyes: "If I want to establish a sect here, I have to clean the house first, right? The bigger the fire Bai Qingruo burns, the better. When those people with evil intentions jump out, , is the day when I catch them all in one go.”
After hearing this, Ni Jiayue sighed with emotion: "In terms of ruthlessness, you are the one who is the most ruthless. I'm afraid there will be a bloody storm in Yunmeng Mountain!"
After saying that, it turned into a ball of black smoke and flew out of the palace.
