Chapter 458 Different Strategies
In the No. 2 Immortal Peak, where the inner disciples of the Demon Sect live, there is a beautiful garden.
The sound of the piano is melodious, and dozens of women wearing gauze palace clothes, with proud figures and beautiful faces are dancing, with elegant, gentle and charming postures.
The person playing the piano is also a woman with a light gauze face, wearing simple palace clothes, proud figures, and skin whiter than snow. Although her appearance cannot be seen clearly, it can be confirmed by feeling that this woman must be stunning.
In the pavilions of the garden, more than a dozen monks are drinking with glasses, and laughter is endless.
The leader is the second prince of the Immortal Dynasty. He is wearing a blue robe, holding a folding fan, and has a handsome appearance. While admiring the dancing posture of the beautiful women, he is talking happily with other monks. There is no trace of the arrogance that a favored prince of the Immortal Dynasty should have.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, now I finally figured it out. The person playing the zither must be Miss Qin Yue, the courtesan of Zuixianlou in Kyoto. Only she who has practiced the Heavenly Sound Art to perfection can play such a beautiful and intoxicating tune!"
"Incredible, incredible. I heard that Miss Qin Yue has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and does not like money and vulgar things. It is extremely difficult for many dignitaries and nobles in Kyoto to see her. Many second-rank officials and even out-of-body masters have been turned away. Now the Second Prince has a great ability and invited her to the palace to play the zither for everyone."
"Could it be that Miss Qin Yue is already the confidante of His Highness the Second Prince? It is really enviable."
The Second Prince laughed and looked at the woman playing the zither.
"Everyone is joking. My Highness and Miss Qin Yue are just pure friends. Fellow Taoists, please don't tarnish Miss Qin Yue's reputation."
At this moment, a spiritual light flashed across the clouds. The second prince Situ Wen waved his hand, and the spiritual light turned into a jade talisman and was taken into his hand.
"Your Highness, Ye Lin has returned and is in the mission hall."
The second prince was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face. The second prince drank a sip of fine wine, and then sat on the highest throne and said to the many cultivators below.
"The strange man who made a top-grade flying sword set with his bare hands, Master Ye, known as the ruthless man in the world, Ye Lin, has finally returned. Fellow Taoists, do you still remember this person?"
In just a moment, the originally relaxed atmosphere disappeared. Although the piano music did not stop and the dance did not stop, the atmosphere became much more serious.
The many cultivators who were still drinking and having fun put down their wine glasses, lined up in two rows and stood in front of the second prince, their expressions became extremely respectful.
If there were new people, they would certainly not be able to adapt to this change. How could a good singing and dancing party suddenly become a court? The second prince, who was originally hospitable and without any airs, suddenly became a king, and many cultivators were like subjects.
One of the cultivators wearing the Taoist robes of the Demon Suppression Sect stepped out and said, "We are naturally very concerned about this boy, and not only us, but also the eldest prince and the eighth prince should also pay attention to him."
The second prince said, "Do you have any good ideas to win over and make friends with Master Ye?"
Another cultivator holding a feather fan and with sharp eyes stepped out and said, "I have carefully studied the information about this person and concluded that he has an indifferent personality, likes to practice alone, and does not like to compete with others. Therefore, whether it is a high-quality alchemy furnace, or spirit stones, power, or beauty, the temptation to him is extremely limited, but there is only one thing that he must pay great attention to."
The second prince and many cultivators were curious.
"Please tell me quickly."
"During the last mission to kill the Soul Devouring Demon, this boy happened to enter the Ten Thousand Insects Cave. According to friends in the Mission Hall, after killing the Soul Devouring Demon, he did not return with the Tenth Princess Situ Zhi, but chose to stay in the Ten Thousand Insects Cave to collect rare spiritual insect eggs."
"This man has achieved a lot, but you must not ignore it. His main job is to be an insect cultivator, so he must attach great importance to the spiritual insect eggs on the spiritual insect ranking list. If the second prince sincerely wants to make friends with this person, he might as well start from here."
The second prince's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"I understand."
After speaking, he stood up and bowed slightly to the many cultivators.
"Fellow Daoists, I'm really sorry. I have something important to do today, so I can't drink with you. These dancing maids are all pure and innocent and know how to practice dual cultivation. Male Daoists who are interested can take them away to be slaves or furnaces."
"As for female Daoists, this prince has also prepared many male slaves for you to enjoy. If you don't like male slaves, you can go to the palace storehouse to get a top-grade demon pill."
As he said this, the second prince bowed deeply to everyone and left the garden with an apologetic look. The girl Qin Yue who played the piano also left with him.
Not long after, two escape lights shot out from the No. 2 Immortal Peak.
...
In a closed-door room on the No. 3 Immortal Peak.
After receiving the communication talisman, a man with a naked upper body and a blazing flame wrapped all over his body gave a deep order.
"Although Ye Lin is a genius and has many secrets, he is not a very important person to us. As long as I break through the Out-of-Body Realm and have the personal strength to crush the eldest and the second, even if my father is unwilling to pass the throne to me, the elders in the clan will not agree."
"Qualifications? Connections? In the face of absolute strength, it is really ridiculous. No matter how the eldest and the second struggle, we are sure to win. The rumors outside that the three of us are evenly matched are even more ridiculous and stupid."
"However, Ye Lin may have a treasure, which may help me break through the Out-of-Body Realm. Even if we can't get it, we can't let the eldest and second sons recruit him and take the treasure away from him."
"Send the message, and we will also send an envoy to recruit him. It would be best if we can invite him to my palace. I have my own way to spy on his secrets."
"If this person refuses our recruitment, don't worry about it. Next, arrange people to take the initiative to find an opportunity to get rid of this person decisively. Remember, you must keep his complete soul and all the items on his body!"
"Speaking of which, my prince has no grudges against him. If you want to blame him, you can only blame him for being too ostentatious. He is so high-profile when he is not strong enough and has no solid backing. It is like "seeking death" written on his face!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the eighth prince Situ Quan finished speaking, a beam of light shot up from the No. 3 Immortal Peak and shot towards the mission hall.
As luck would have it, the lights from the three Jiazi Peaks soon met in the sky.
"I didn't expect that the Second Prince would come in person. He is well-known for his courtesy and respect for the wise."
"To be honest, I am not experienced enough and my cultivation talent is not good. I can only lower my attitude to recruit talents. How can I compare with my eldest brother and eighth brother? I am really curious, what kind of gifts did my eldest brother and eighth brother prepare to recruit Master Ye?"
