Yinshan Record

Chapter 447 Yesterday's Web, Today's Showdown (Part 2)

"I'm here today to share some news with you all."

Old Niu said slowly, "Yu's days are numbered."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Old Niu's words caused a huge uproar among the three demons, except for Siksananda, whose face remained expressionless.

"Old Niu, watch your words."

The Black Wind King's eyes swept over the writhing female demons, his gaze filled with both hunger and ruthlessness.

"It was just a joke, why take it seriously?"

Young Master Lin slowly flicked his tongue, but the chilling look in his eyes was no less than that of King Black Wind.

"What's the rush? Old Niu was known for his steadiness back in Xuanshan. Let's hear what he has to say."

"When we parted ways earlier, Brother Liu received a message from Yu Chen saying that Leng Ancheng was a traitor."

The three demon kings from Xuanshan exchanged glances, then looked at Shicha Nanta beside them, all wondering what Old Niu was up to.

"Yu Chen wants Brother Liu to join him in taking action and eliminating the man surnamed Leng."

Old Niu tossed the sweet potato aside and rubbed his mouth with his large, fan-like hand.

"Impossible. The Great River Alliance only has four elders. How could there be a traitor among them?" King Black Wind shook his head and said, "There must be a trap here. Damn it, these mortals are all cunning, especially that Yu Chen. I could tell at a glance that he is a treacherous villain."

"It's not a big deal that there are traitors among the four elders. After all, wasn't their Alliance Leader Yu also from White Deer Cave?"

Dushan Jun's words were laced with sarcasm.

Now that things have come to this point, Yu Chen's background can no longer be hidden from the three demon kings. If he weren't from Bailudong, would Bailudong have gone to such great lengths, even risking a falling out with the imperial court, just to get involved?
"If that were all, there would be no need to hold this banquet today."

Old Niu looked at the three people sitting up there.

"Brother Liu, I have another piece of news: Yue Luan is about to make a move."

"Yue Luan?"

“The Great River Alliance is a family business that they have worked hard to build up. How could they just hand it over like that? Yue Luan, Leng Ancheng, and the others have already discussed it and decided to get rid of Yu Chen first.”

“Absurd.” Young Master Lin shook his head directly: “Let’s not even talk about whether the three of them can be of one mind. Even if they really kill Yu Chen, how will they explain it to Bailu Cave? When Baichi Tianya arrives, everyone will be reduced to dust.”

"Why not just defect to the imperial court?"

The Black Wind King sneered, "If you take Yu Chen's head to pay homage to the Emperor, you'll surely be granted land and a title."

Lord Dushan coughed slightly, and a cold wind immediately swept through the tent.

"Old Niu, why are you telling us all this..."

Before Dushan Jun could finish speaking, Liu Yidao's voice rang out from outside the tent.

"But we need to plan ahead."

Su Che, dressed in a black outfit with a long sword on his back, walked in with an aura of power and menace. He sat down next to Shichananda and stretched out his arms. Shichananda then leaned against Su Che.

"Now that Baichi Tianya has arrived, you all have to step aside. You all came out to do this dangerous business, so you should think more about yourselves."

Young Master Su's eyes swept across everyone's faces.

"To the Confucian school, you are all demons, and we are heretics. We demons and heretics must unite."

"Brother Liu, what is this..." Now that the main person has arrived, Young Master Lin didn't waste any more words with Old Niu. He looked at Su Che and asked.

"I just came from Yue Luan's place. They're going to make their move tomorrow, so they asked me to come and let them know."

"Tomorrow? What does he want us to do?"

"You want us to do nothing?" Su Che sneered. "Doing nothing is helping him."

Lord Dushan remained silent, while King Black Wind and Young Master Lin exchanged a glance, clearly deep in thought.

Once Bai Chi Tian Ya arrives, the three demons of Xuan Shan and the local forces of the Great River Alliance will inevitably have to step aside, and from then on, Bai Lu Dong will be in charge.

In this situation, it's as if they've laid the foundation for someone else's career halfway through their lives.

Although he was resentful, there was, after all, Bailudong Cave behind that.

“Yue’s plan is still feasible,” Shichananda finally spoke, her hoarse voice describing it in a low voice.

"The reason why Bailudong was able to control this rebel army is ultimately because of the relationship that Yu Chen had cultivated with the Dajiang Alliance for ten years. If Yu Chen could be eliminated, Bailudong would lose its grip on this force. After all, Sikong Tu came from the Yin-Yang Realm, which puts him at a distance from them."

"Although White Deer Cave has many disciples, they're not throwing all of them here at us now. There's only one Yu Chen. If we kill Yu Chen now, what can White Deer Cave do?"

"They could kill Yue Luan and the others, as well as everyone involved in this matter."

Young Master Lin spoke slowly.

"But what does this have to do with us?" Siksananda said calmly, "We're just doing nothing. Yue Luan will take Yu Chen's head to the Liang court and ask for a reward, maybe even become a Censor-in-Chief in Youzhou. And what will we get in return?"

"With the chaos of war, this force is now in our hands, and Bailudong has no choice but to cooperate with us."

Su Che added with a cold laugh, "By the time they think of sending disciples over, our place will already be so well-managed that it's impenetrable."

"News has already spread within our sect that the Liang Dynasty is recruiting a Grand Preceptor, and a great master will be coming from the East to the Central Plains. What White Deer Cave can do, we can do as well."

Siksananda concluded by saying, "Gentlemen, you should make a decision: will you seize this opportunity to advance yourselves, or will you swallow your pride and do all this for nothing? We must..."

A gust of wind howled.

In the blink of an eye, Young Master Lin had already made his move. Two eerie green lights appeared in the air, and after a flash, the camp was filled with the stench of blood.

The group of female demons who were singing and dancing just moments before were now all lying on the ground, motionless, clearly having been killed by Young Master Lin in the blink of an eye.

"What are you waiting for?"

Young Master Lin looked at Su Che and said, "Brother Liu, let's take this bet."

"Okay, let's do it."

Black Wind King stood up, reached out and picked up the corpse of a female demon from the ground, then tore off her arm and put it in his mouth to chew.

"Damn Bailudong, I really want to see how Zhongjia will react when he sees Yu Chen's corpse."

"There are still some oversights in the plan."

Dushan Jun looked at Su Che.

"Even if Yue Luan brings two elders, Sikong Tu, and the two newcomers from the East Sea, it will be three against four. I'm afraid they might not have a chance of winning."

"Please rest assured, Lord Shan," Su Che shook his head and said, "I can guarantee that Sikong Tu will not make a move, nor will they touch those two Rejuvenating Pill cultivators from the East Sea."
