Yinshan Record

Chapter 85 Hunting the Unconventional
When I first met the little fox, I casually mentioned that my identity in the Zhongshan Society was "Feng Xi".

It was just to tease the little fox.

But how did Zhongyuan know about this? Could he know more?
Su Che slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Today's gathering is mainly about the matter of Xuanshan." Zhongyuan, behind the bronze mask, looked at the group of people in front of him: "According to the original plan, you will all be heading to Xuanshan tomorrow."

"The goal this time is to seize the 'Qingdi Treasure Garden' hidden in the Kulin Temple in Shanyin County."

"As for what happened in Shanyin County, we no longer need to concern ourselves with it."

Zhongyuan said.

"The Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden is a treasure belonging to Ling Weiyang. It contains a void, forming its own world, where wood spirits gather. It is very beneficial for cultivating spiritual roots and enhancing cultivation."

"This treasure fell into the hands of a monk from the Western Lands, who eventually sacrificed it to a demon, causing it to shatter and be hidden in the Kulin Zen Temple."

"As always, the divine artifact is unclaimed; it shall be owned by the virtuous. I will give each of you a talisman; whoever receives it will keep it."

After Zhongyuan finished speaking, Su Che felt a cool sensation on his hand. Upon closer inspection, he noticed a bluish-green talisman that had appeared on the inside of his forearm.

That's a really clever tactic.

"Reporting to Lord Zhongyuan, the Rouran will soon launch a military campaign against our forces, and I am afraid I will be unable to participate in this operation."

Yu Qiang first apologized.

"It's alright, Zhongshan is free to come and go. Since you, Yuqiang, can't participate, then forget it."

Zhongyuan seemed very easy to talk to.

Su Che frowned. Wasn't it agreed that they would be a sinister organization with a history of suffering and hatred?
How come they're free to come and go as they please?

Should we hold a farewell party when we leave, and give them a settling-in allowance?

Gu She remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was analyzing the information.

Based on her judgment, this Yu Qiang should be a prince from one of the northern tribes, but she didn't know whether it was the Duan tribe or the Murong tribe.

The Rouran are a newly emerging powerful tribe in the north, and it is said that they have the backing of the Northern Demonic Sect. If the Rouran rises, the pressure on the Northern Wei will definitely increase, and the stalemate in the Great Liang battle line will likely change.

We must find a way to tell the Crown Prince about this.

Zhongyuan seemed to remember something and said to Su Nu, who was standing to the side, "You don't have to participate in this operation."

"Oh? He's just a Black Mountain Monster. With me in charge, it'll be easier for the kids to get things done. I can't stand seeing anyone lose their life over this."

"The Black Mountain Monster is not the demonic thought of the Lion, the Green Lotus, and the Tathagata."

"I know... what are you talking about?"

Su Nu initially agreed, but later turned to surprise.

If the Black Mountain Monster wasn't a manifestation of the old lion's demonic thoughts, then who was he?

Su Che was momentarily stunned.

Wait a minute, this Su Nu already knew that the Black Mountain Monster was the old lion's demonic thought? And she didn't even take the 'fifth-rank' Black Mountain Monster seriously.

This means that my initial assessment of the Zhongshan Society's strength was wrong.

At least among those present, Su Nu should be very strong; at least she believed she could subdue the Black Mountain Monster.

"Black Mountain, he is the Lion-Lotus Tathagata."

When Zhongyuan revealed the mystery, Su Che was momentarily dazed.

"I see, I knew it."

Su Nu looked at the long table in front of her in a low voice, as if many long-standing mysteries had been solved with this answer.

"So it wasn't passing away peacefully, but rather entering Nirvana?" Su Nu sneered. "He hasn't changed his old ways. But if it really is him, Lord Zhongyuan, I'd better have a good meeting with this old friend."

Su Che is now quite certain that this Su Nu is an old woman, and at least had some connection with the old lion back then.

There's a rule, though not strictly a rule, in the cultivation world: generally, the longer someone's lifespan, the more powerful they are.

This woman must be at least a third-rank official, right?
In fact, not only Su Che, but also Yu Qiang, Wu Zhiqi, Gu She and the little fox around him felt a surge of intense emotions.

It turns out that there was such a powerful dragon coiled around him without his knowledge?

The thoughts in their minds were in turmoil.

"Tomorrow, he will lay the groundwork for complete demonic transformation, at which time Luo Yan will personally come to the outer realms..."

Su Nu remained silent for a moment.

Narayana, one of the most notorious Dharma Lords in the surrounding void, is indeed no match for these demonic giants in his current state. "Then I'll just have to stand by and watch."

Su Nu smiled awkwardly. Even if the treasures of the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden were damaged, they would still bring endless benefits if they fell into her hands.

Now we can only benefit these younger generations.

"Wait a minute, Su Nu." Wu Zhiqi grinned and chuckled, "There's something you'll definitely find interesting."

"Oh?" Su Nu sat there, listening intently.

“Lord Zhongyuan, I request to speak with Su Nu alone.”

"No need, there's nothing I can't tell others."

"In Shanyin County, there is another person with the destiny of the Azure Dragon of the Six Harmonies." Wuzhiqi chuckled. "Interested?"

Su Che frowned upon hearing this.

There's also a "Six Harmonies Azure Dragon" in Shanyin County; it seems this person has a rather approachable destiny, considering there aren't many in the entire county. Bailudong is really crazy, making a fuss over something like this with me.

They should do a proper census first.

There might be as many as 70,000 to 80,000 people just from the Six Harmonies Azure Dragon

Gu She's eyes lit up for a moment.

Yu Qiang also became interested.

Su Nu was starting to regret it. This water monkey, how could he just say such things so casually?

That is the Azure Dragon of the Six Directions.

Since Lingwei left, there has only been one person in the world whose whereabouts I have been able to find over the years.

If it were possible to replenish one's essence.

No.

Let's cultivate together.

It has countless benefits for one's fundamental well-being.

It's not impossible to climb to a higher level and see the scenery at the end of the transformation between heaven and man.

How can you just say something like that?

Su Nu calmed herself down, tried to adjust her mindset, and looked at the monkey face with a smile.

No, I'm still so angry.

I need to control myself. I can't let others know that this is something I'm determined to have, lest something else change.

"Oh?"

"I want a pure white lotus."

Wu Zhiqi originally wanted something else, knowing that Su Nu was quite wealthy and seemed to have some organization backing her.

However, I have depleted too much of my vital energy, and now it is time to replenish it.

This is the trouble that comes with causing too much trouble. Wuzhiqi also reflected deeply on his past actions, realizing that perhaps his past behavior was indeed too flamboyant.

Otherwise, why would he get beaten up as soon as he steps out the door?

"Three flowers."

Su Nu displayed her wealth.

Wu Zhiqi chuckled twice. The Tai Su White Lotus contained innate Tai Yin Qi. If he used the three Tai Su White Lotuses properly, it would be like having three more lives.

"This person is named Yue Buqun. He is a rogue cultivator. I met him once before in Shanyin County. I estimate that with Lady Su Nu's abilities, she will be able to find him quickly."

Are you sure?

"I've confirmed it with my bewitching eyes, there's absolutely no mistake."

Yue Buqun.

Gu She noted down the name and decided to notify Bai Lu Dong in some way.

The Great Liang Empire can no longer withstand further turmoil.
