Chapter 558 The Spirit Appears, the Demon's Shadow Manifests (Part 2)
“Brother Lingzhenzi, I told you long ago that there’s no future in being a henchman for the Rakshasa Sea. Look at this kid, he recognizes me but not you.”

The masked Taoist priest remained silent, only looking at Su Che with a meaningful gaze.

Master Galeng sneered, "Your Highness, this man claims to be from the Jade Yang Sect, but I think he's most likely a heretic..."

"If we're talking about evil and heretical doctrines, who can compare to you?"

Su Che immediately retorted: "I've heard that some members of the Witch Clan, in order to purify their bloodline, first marry their sister and have a daughter, then marry their daughter again, and after having a grandchild, they devour her, all in order to improve their bloodline and hope to advance to the next rank. I wonder if this is true."

The idea of ​​marrying a woman and having children was just something Su Che made up on the spot; it's unlikely that anyone in the Witch Clan would be so heartless. However, there is some logical plausibility to it.

After all, aren't you going to purify your bloodline as the foundation of your cultivation?

"absurd."

The Venerable Galeng's one eye was almost spitting fire.

"What an arrogant fellow! I'll see what you're really made of."

"Wait a moment, sir. This man is imbued with the Qi of the Returning Wind and Withered Snow Sword. It would be better to hand him over to Yuyang Mountain."

Gongshu Yun walked in from outside. He had just taken a direct hit from Su Che, and his blood was still churning. His face was still flushed.

This taunt was truly effective, attracting the combined attacks of two great masters, Galeng Shangren and Gongshu Yun. Su Che looked towards Princess Ning'an at the top.

Now it's time to test his true colors and see if he's truly skilled at managing people, or just all show and no substance.

Princess Ning'an did not answer, but Su Che unexpectedly gained an ally.

“Indeed interesting. I have heard the Buddhist saying that the tongue can kill without shedding blood. Now it seems that Brother Zuo’s words are no less sharp than the sword. I am Lingzhenzi, a rogue cultivator from the East Sea. Brother Zuo is indeed a man of quick wit and outspokenness.”

Once the masked Taoist spoke, Gongshu Yun and Galeng Shangren exchanged glances, clearly showing their great apprehension towards him.

Gongshu Yun remained silent, but the Venerable Galeng was not prepared to let Su Che off so easily.

"Brother Zuo, you should take good care of yourself. Once the Returning Wind and Withered Snow Sword Qi is revealed today, the people of Yuyang Mountain will probably come looking for you in droves tomorrow. Brother Zuo, you are very eloquent, but I wonder how good you are at escaping. By the way, our Brother Lingzhenzi has a deep friendship with Rakshasa Hai of the East Sea. If Brother Zuo wants to escape, you might as well go through his connections."

"It's just a mere Returning Wind and Withered Snow sword qi. What can Yuyang Mountain do to me? If they provoke me, I'll write hundreds of copies of the Returning Wind and Withered Snow sword manual and send them out everywhere. I want to see how many Yuyang Mountain can collect. Of course, if they capture me, I'll say that I gave Brother Galeng more than three hundred copies back then, and let them come and ask Brother Galeng for them."

The Returning Wind and Withered Snow Sword Qi is a crucial internal scripture of Jade Yang Mountain. If one were to delve deeper, it would be a matter of life and death for the sect. If Su Che were to distribute hundreds of copies in this manner, the world would likely descend into chaos immediately.

Upon hearing Su Che's words, Venerable Galeng's face turned as red as a donkey's liver.

Because he genuinely believed that Su Che was capable of such a thing.

What a vicious thief.

Gongshu Yun silently swallowed. He was not a bachelor like Galeng Shangren or Lingzhenzi. He was a dignified elder of the South Sea Sword Sect, a good man with a family and a career.

If Zuo Lengchan really pins this on us and falsely accuses us of having a secret manual for the Returning Wind and Withered Snow Sword Qi in the South Sea Sword Sect, the sect will probably be trampled to pieces by those righteous heroes of Yuyang Mountain that very day. They'll even have to split up the ancestral tablets to see if the secret manual is hidden inside them.

Lingzhenzi smiled slightly, squinting at Zuo Lengchan, finding him increasingly interesting.

He had previously received information from an inside source in Yuyang Mountain that a guy named Zuo Lengchan had indeed broken into the forbidden area of ​​Yuyang Mountain, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave, without even alerting the senior guarding the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave.

This is enough to show that Zuo Lengchan indeed had a great connection with Yuyang Mountain, and it is very likely that he was another branch of Yuyang Mountain that was said to have been separated from it.

If we can recruit Zuo Lengchan, and then the Xuandu Palace holds a conference to divide up the slots for entering the ancient underworld, then the false claim of "Yu Yang Orthodox Sect" might actually become true.

Moreover, it is absolutely true. After all, even if Yuyang Mountain denies it, as long as they bring out that senior who guards the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave, this fabricated "Yuyang Sect" will be even more authentic than Yuyang Mountain.

Wonderful, wonderful.

This Zuo Lengchan is truly a rare find. Thinking of this, Lingzhenzi felt admiration for the Venerable One who had arranged for him to come here.

As expected of a demon god who has survived since ancient times, it is precisely this ability to foresee future changes that is the true foundation of the Dao that allows one to transcend endless time and space.

Lord Bai Ze is truly unparalleled in the universe.

Lingzhenzi grew increasingly pleased with Zuo Lengchan as he looked at him.

With such a cold and cunning nature, and a vengeful character, if one could lure him into demonic possession, then even if only a few big cats and little cats were left in the Jade Yang Sect, they would all fall into the hands of their master.

However, this matter cannot be rushed; it should be done when the grand ceremony is completed and the time is ripe.

The atmosphere inside the pleasure boat was awkward when suddenly the woman, who had been silent all along, let out a silvery laugh.

The room was instantly filled with light.

This woman was unusually charming.

Su Che's spiritual sense finally caught the slight discord. The woman in front of him was too perfect, no, it was too artificial.

Where do all these head-swapping monsters come from in this world?
"Oh my, this Mr. Zuo is absolutely hilarious."

Zhen Ping'er covered her mouth and laughed, "Thank you, Your Highness. Since I came south from Luoyang, I have never seen anything as interesting as today."

Princess Ning'an, who was most skilled, looked at Zuo Lengchan below and said, "Mr. Zuo, I am not aware of the grudges and grievances on Yuyang Mountain. I only know that Yuyang Mountain is currently closed off, and all experts above the Step Void stage have returned to their sects. However, there are still quite a few Core Formation cultivators traveling in the Central Plains, not to mention other disciples within the sects. In Jiankang City alone, there are five Core Formation cultivators who have managed to establish connections with Yuyang Mountain."

Princess Ning'an paused for a moment and then said, "Mr. Zuo, you should take care of yourself."

By bringing up Zuo Lengchan's identity, they were just trying to get you to say, "Take care of yourself."

Yuyang Mountain is the number one Xuanmen sect in the Central Plains. Of course, their number one ranking is only if we exclude the lofty Xuandu Palace. They are the number one sect in this realm, the kind of number one that needs no further description.

Given the Liang royal family's tendency to crumble at the slightest provocation, it's best to avoid getting involved with such an enemy.

Originally, Su Che just wanted to deflate Qi's arrogance and ruin his chance to pick up girls.

It is truly a pleasant surprise to be able to meet Lingzhenzi now.

However, judging from this, the group that helped the old emperor set up the underground cave under Jiankang City back then did not belong to the old emperor, but should be represented by this Lingzhenzi.

Rakshasa Sea, after all its twists and turns, it has still ended up back with you.

“Mr. Zuo, my pleasure boat is moored not far away. If you are interested, you can come and have a late-night chat with me by candlelight.”

Zhen Ping'er said with a grin, "Of course, Galeng, Gongshu Yun, and even Your Highness, you can come along if you're interested. Let's listen to the grudges and feuds on Yuyang Mountain together; it'll be very interesting."

Where did this fearless pheasant fly from?

Su Che glanced at the woman.

"Actually, there is something I would like to trouble you with, sir."

Lingzhenzi looked at Su Che: "However, to be precise, this is a matter within the Rakshasa Sea, and I am merely an insider."

"As you all know, Rakshasa Sea has a lot of business in the East Sea. The East Sea is full of demons who love to commit murder and robbery. Among them is a Zhu Yan, a born troublemaker. A few days ago, we discovered that she had come to the Central Plains. Her whereabouts have been exposed, so we can use your strength to eliminate her."

"Of course, the Rakshasa Sea will also offer generous rewards. What do you all think?"

As Lingzhenzi spoke, he glanced at Princess Ning'an, who was the most skilled, seemingly with a hidden meaning.
