If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 418 We are all betrayers! ?

"I lost."

Li Yanmo put down the chess piece and shook his head helplessly.

Yao Mengyi, who was sitting opposite Li Yanmo, completely forgot that she was here to ask questions. She half-closed her eyes proudly and shook her head from side to side. After being frightened in Yanzhou for so many days, this was the first time she had played games so peacefully.

"Mr. Li, would you like another plate?"

"it is good--"

Li Yanmo also quite liked the atmosphere of playing chess with Yao Mengyi. There was no pressure and no need to worry about anything going wrong.

It's a pity that such peace was soon broken by a series of knocking sounds. Li Yanmo looked up and saw Shen Ziqing standing not far away with an awkward but serious expression, as if he had something urgent to do.

Yao Mengyi also saw Shen Ziqing and knew that something must have happened. She nodded very obediently and said, "Mr. Li, you can go ahead and do your work. I can play by myself..."

Before Yao Mengyi could finish her words, Hong Menglian sat down opposite her and slapped the table carelessly, "Little girl, let me play chess with you!"

The corner of Yao Mengyi's mouth twitched slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to nod in submission.

But Yao Mengyi changed her mind and realized that it was because she always gave in that she was always in a passive position.

She must muster up the courage!

Twenty-nine demigods silently surrounded the two of them, staring at the chessboard.

But it doesn’t mean it has to be today.

Yao Mengyi played Gobang with a dejected heart.

Li Yanmo also came to Shen Ziqing at this time and lowered his voice, "Second brother, what happened?"

Shen Ziqing hesitated for a moment before answering, "Master, the caves of Tianxu Tower in various small states have been attacked and completely destroyed. In addition to the Dayu Army, there are also several other groups involved. This has happened several times."

Shen Ziqing paused and added.

"I'm afraid someone is targeting our ancient cave."

Hong Menglian and the other thirty semi-immortals immediately pricked up their ears. They seemed to be playing chess, but in fact their minds had drifted to the conversation between Li Yanmo and Shen Ziqing.

Hearing that someone else was robbing the cave, Li Yanmo was delighted and subconsciously raised the corner of his mouth, but still nodded in a serious tone, "Do you know who is inside?"

Shen Ziqing hesitated for a moment and whispered, "There is the Xuantian Sect."

Taoist Tianxuan glared and was about to speak when Taoist Hunyuan slapped him in the face and pointed a trembling finger at Taoist Tianxuan, "You, you, you little—"

"Hunyuan Sect."

Taoist Hunyuan fell silent immediately.

Xiantian Taoist from Xianyue Tower raised his hands and pulled down his sleeves with two snaps. Just as he was about to slap the two old bastards in the face, Shen Ziqing spoke again.

"Xianyue Tower."

Taoist Xiantian silently pulled down his sleeves.

"Anyway..."

Shen Ziqing looked at the half-immortals who were pretending to still be watching the chess game with a subtle expression, and raised his voice slightly.

"Those caves that were attacked showed traces of the various sects' actions."

"It looks like... you're pretending to cooperate, but actually harboring evil intentions."

When these words were spoken, Kong Pu and others were shocked and waved their hands repeatedly. Li Yanmo smiled helplessly, "This is probably done by the Immortal Palace, in order to create a gap between us and make us suspicious of each other." After hearing what Li Yanmo said, Kong Pu and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Ziqing also added, "But the traces of the unique skills of the various sects cannot be faked."

Kong Pu and others nodded with heavy expressions.

There might be connections between the Immortal Palace and their sect.

This is not something unbelievable. The Immortal Palace is not only older than any sect of the Dayu Taoist school, but it is also the eternal black hand that caused the split between Taoism and the Dayu Dynasty. It is not very strange to place spies in their sect.

Shen Ziqing thought for a moment and said, "I would like everyone to play hard to get and arrange for your disciples to explore the ancient caves of our Tianxu Tower. We can use this opportunity to find the spies of the Tianxu Tower within your sects."

Shen Ziqing paused and added, "Of course, those ancient caves are not real ancient caves, but forged by our Taixu Tower."

When Li Yanmo heard this, he immediately nodded with satisfaction.

As expected of his most promising disciple, his head is full of good ideas to make Tianxu Tower spend money.

"What do you mean?" Taoist Xiantian frowned.

Shen Ziqing looked at Li Yanmo, and after receiving a hint from Li Yanmo, he cleared his throat. "Those ancient caves are the result of contracts between our Tianxu Tower and those ancient sects. We have an obligation to protect the inheritance of those ancient sects who trust us."

"Once those caves are destroyed, our credibility with those dormant ancient sects will decline. Some of the inherited items have been taken away, and compensation cannot make up for it."

Kong Pu nodded, and the others looked at the person who was covering his face.

That man was the leader of the Immortal Valley. When Dayu was on an expedition to Xiaozhou, his apprentice stole the inheritance of the ancient sect Star Hall that belonged to the eldest prince Ji Xu.

The inheritance represents the Taoist tradition of a sect and its price is immeasurable. Once it is lost, it means that the road ahead will be extremely difficult and you may have to start from scratch.

Therefore, the revenge for stealing the inheritance is no less than killing one's parents.

"The Immortal Palace and... Dayu are probably aiming to destroy the relationship between Tianxu Tower and those ancient sects that are still dormant," Shen Ziqing said with a heavy face.

Yao Mengyi lay on the table, buried her face in her arms and pretended to sleep.

Hong Menglian, who was sitting opposite Yao Mengyi, nodded subconsciously and glanced in the direction of Hong Muer.

At this moment, Hong Muer was sitting on the table, cross-legged, holding her ankles and shaking from side to side like a tumbler.

He had no intention of avoiding suspicion, nor did he realize that he should avoid suspicion. He was even a little impatient and absent-minded.

"Fortunately, there are still some ancient objects in Tianxu Tower. Since they want to destroy the ancient cave, let them do it."

Shen Ziqing's eyes flickered, and he smiled brightly, "Speaking of which, Tianxu Sect has always hoped to cooperate with you. I'm sure you've seen the new operating model of Zhuozhou and Meizhou. What do you think?"

Kong Pu and Xia Tian, who had already arranged the actions of their disciples, nodded immediately, "Excellent!"

Shen Ziqing smiled and said, "I wonder if you are interested in switching your respective states to the same operating model?"

Kong Pu, Xia Tian and other first few semi-immortals nodded in agreement without even thinking.

But semi-immortal sect leaders who joined later, like Xiantian Taoist, were still a little hesitant.

They had indeed seen the brand-new operating model and its potential, but such a change would completely alter the way super sects operated. It might seem fine now, but no one could guarantee that such an operating model wouldn't have problems a hundred or a thousand years from now that weren't foreseen at the time.

So they plan to observe for a hundred years first.

Anyway, for a cultivator, there is no difference between a hundred years and a year. For a semi-immortal who calculates his age in tens of thousands, there is no difference between a hundred years and a month.

Xiantian Taoist asked, "What does this have to do with the matter of the Immortal Palace?"
