Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 214: Cruel and Vicious Scheme
In the remote mountains of Bianxia Town, a man jumped down from a treetop and looked at Chen Zhongwen and Huang Ye who were walking towards him with a look full of vigilance.

"Who is he?" The man's eyes passed over Chen Zhongwen and looked at Huang Ye.

"This is my disciple Huang Ye. He is the one who has been delivering messages to you over the years."

"Why bring him here? Didn't we agree that we would only contact each other privately?"

"The situation has changed now. The Tianshan Sect attacked Luofeng Valley, and you were involved too! Why didn't you tell me?"

The man snorted. "Do you think I'm some big shot? Would they discuss attacking the Tianshan Sect with me in advance? When I received the order to assemble and set out with the team, I was already in the group. How could I have informed you? Do you expect me to openly escape from the assembled troops and run all the way to Luofeng Valley, shouting, 'The Tianshan Sect is coming?'"

"Perhaps you were hoping that the Tianshan Sect would attack Luofeng Valley, and that I would die there, so that you could escape. But you were lucky I didn't die there, otherwise Chen Yunlong would have received those letters you exchanged with us the next day."

The man's face changed and he stared at him: "What do you mean?"

"I'm telling you the consequences so you can be mentally prepared. Before coming here, I visited your parents and sister. They're all doing well, so you don't have to worry."

The man unconsciously clenched his fists: "You called me here just to say this."

Chen Zhongwen said calmly, "Falling Phoenix Valley is gone, and I will be leaving Bianxi City in the future. You will soon be truly free. Before I leave, I will tell you the current address of your parents and your sister. You can leave Tianshan Sect and live there with them, or you can take them away and live somewhere else. It's all up to you."

"But before that, I need you to do one last thing. Once you're done, not only will you be free, I'll also give you a generous reward."

"Don't look at me like that. You may doubt me or hate me, but don't forget that it was you who begged me to give you the opportunity to join the immortal sect and become a cultivator. This path was chosen by you."

…………

The sky was clear and the air was bright, with no clouds in sight. In the spacious and bright hall of the Nanyuan Valley Market, the leaders of various forces in Bianxia Town gathered together. This was the second time that everyone had gathered to discuss matters since the Bianxia Town peace initiative ten years ago, and the person who organized this meeting was Song Xian.

"The Tianshan Sect has gone too far. They were witnesses and implementers of the peace initiative back then, but now they're going back on their word."

"We must unite, otherwise, with the power of the Tianshan Sect, we may follow in the footsteps of Luofeng Valley at any time."

"Old Master Yang was suppressing it, but now he's gone, and the new leader, Old Master Jiang Feng, has just arrived and isn't in charge. If we don't try to save ourselves, who can save us?"

"The Tianshan Sect's evil ambitions are known to everyone. Luofeng Valley is just their appetizer. We must fight back."

Everyone in the hall was criticizing the Tianshan Sect.

As time went by, the leaders of various factions arrived. Song Xian, the organizer, raised his hands and waved them: "Everyone, please listen to what I have to say."

In an instant, the noise in the hall became quiet.

"Thank you all for your invitation to this meeting. I won't elaborate on the details. Since you are willing to take time out of your busy schedules to attend this meeting, I believe you all agree to form an alliance to defend the Tianshan Sect."

"Since we've formed an alliance, we must establish a headquarters. Otherwise, empty words will have no deterrent effect and will only make people laugh. We must take concrete action to intimidate the Tianshan Sect."

"Otherwise, if the Tianshan Sect attacks again and reinforcements are needed, everyone will be reluctant to contribute and will just pass the buck, and the alliance will be meaningless."

"I propose that everyone send personnel according to their respective strengths to form a coalition. As the organizer, my sect is willing to send thirty disciples to join the alliance. I would like to ask Ding Mansion, Luofeng Valley, Qianyu Trading Company, Qixia Mountain, Shaxuanwu, and Xueshan Sect to send fifteen disciples each, and Qingyuan Sect and Xuri Sect to send ten disciples each."

"I wonder what you guys think?"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Zhongwen was the first to respond: "Our sect was attacked by Tianshan bandits. Our resources and territory were plundered, and we suffered heavy casualties. We are now gathering the remaining soldiers. We still have twenty brave men who are willing to join the coalition forces and obey their orders."

Wang Qian of the Qingyuan Sect immediately said, "Although our sect is small and weak, we are willing to send ten disciples to maintain peace in Bianxia Town."

In addition to the biggest victim, Luofeng Valley, and the independent cultivators who were all worried about their own safety, the Tianshan Sect's move also indirectly affected the Qingyuan Sect, making them quite uneasy.

This was because they had previously been at odds with the scattered cultivators in Bianxia Town, and it was thanks to Song Xian that he intervened and persuaded Yang Jinzhang, which led to the subsequent peace initiative.

Now that the Tianshan faction has attacked Luofeng Valley, it means that the peace initiative has become ineffective.

His safety can only rely on the protection of Hunyuan Sect. Song Xian seized this point and persuaded Wang Qian to join the alliance. In this way, he could ease the tension with the independent cultivator forces.

Wang Qian had no choice. If he did not agree, he might offend Hunyuan Sect.

The Hunyuan Sect has decided to form an alliance with the independent cultivator forces again, and its situation will be very dangerous at that time.

The Qingyuan Sect and the Xu Ri Sect had a good relationship and shared the same suffering. They were in similar situations and had many private contacts. After Song Xian persuaded Wang Qian, he also persuaded the Xu Ri Sect to join.

At this point, the four sects in Bianxia Town all agreed to join the alliance. Qianyu Trading Company, Qixia Mountain, Shaxuanwu, and Xueshan Sect were all very happy to see that Song Xian was willing to take the lead, and naturally would not object. This is why today's meeting took place.

After Luofeng Valley and Qingyuan Sect expressed their opinions, several other sects also expressed their agreement.

The Hunyuan Sect, which had nothing to do with the matter, contributed the most and was willing to send 30 people to join the coalition forces. Naturally, they had no objection to sending half of their men.

"Since it is an alliance, there must be a leader to coordinate affairs. I suggest that we appoint Sect Leader Song as the leader of the coalition." After everyone expressed their opinions one by one, Chen Zhongwen spoke again.

Wang Qian and Ding Wenxiang also echoed this. Seeing this, the other four independent cultivator forces also expressed their agreement without much hesitation.

The alliance was originally formed to intimidate the Tianshan Sect. The position of alliance leader is not a good one, as they might be targeted by the Tianshan Sect if they are not careful. Now that the Hunyuan Sect is willing to step forward, they are more than happy to do so.

"Thank you all for your support. I am willing to take on this position. Since you all have accepted me as the leader of the alliance, the troops stationed here must obey my orders. If the Tianshan Sect attacks any of our allies, I will lead the coalition forces to rescue them. If anyone disobeys my orders, I will deal with them according to the rules. Don't blame me for being rude then."

Everyone responded, and just like that, the sectarian forces and independent cultivator forces that were originally hostile to each other formed an alliance again.

Song Xian successfully took over the position of alliance leader, announced a series of coalition rules, selected the coalition location, and took the initiative to undertake the construction of the second-level formation.

.........

The sky was clear and cloudless. In the Far East Town of Muhe Grassland, a flying magic tool was flying in the air. In the middle sat a slim, fair-skinned and beautiful woman from the Muhe Grassland.

There were two men accompanying him in front and behind, and all three of them were wearing red dragon costumes.

When the three of them were walking through a desolate and uninhabited desert area, two huge Canglan birds suddenly appeared on the left and rushed towards them.

"Something seems to be wrong. These people seem to be coming towards us." The man from Muhe grassland, who was sitting at the tail of the magic weapon, frowned as he looked at the many monks sitting on the backs of the two Canglan birds.

The man in front immediately changed direction and walked to the other side, while the two Canglan birds chased him closely.

"It's really coming for us." The man at the back couldn't help but get nervous when he saw the Canglan bird getting closer and closer.

"Let's act separately. Saliwa, you go first." The man sitting in front of the flying magic weapon made decisive arrangements.

"Okay." The woman also knew that the situation was critical. She didn't know who the other party was, but they looked malicious. She responded and took out a talisman from her storage bag. She jumped off the flying magic weapon. The talisman burst into dazzling light, and her whole body floated up and rushed towards another talisman. This was a second-level low-grade flying talisman.

Seeing the woman leave the magic weapon, one of the Canglan birds immediately changed direction and chased after her.

As the two sides were chasing and fleeing, the Canglan Bird had already approached the flying magic weapon.

The leader on the Canglan Bird flipped his hand and took out a silver hammer. Silver light flashed, and the light gathered into a huge silver hammer, smashing down hard on the two people on the magic weapon.

With a loud rumble, a man on a magical instrument unleashed a crimson flying sword and charged at the giant hammer. The two clashed, a crisscross of crimson and silver light intertwining, and for a moment, it was unclear who was stronger. Simultaneously, several cultivators on the Canglan Bird attacked the two with their magical instruments and spells.

Under external attack, the flying magic weapon fell straight down like a kite with a broken string, and both of them jumped down and landed on the ground.

Looking at the people who surrounded him, one of the men was terrified and angry.

"We are from the Tianshan Sect. Who are you?"

"Since I know you are from the Tianshan Sect, I will let you die with a clear mind. I am from the Luofeng Valley."

.........

At night, the sky was full of stars. In the brightly lit attic, two men were drinking happily, each holding a charming woman in their arms.

One of them was a thin man in his twenties, with a fawning look on his face.

The other man was broad-shouldered, burly, and had a full beard. He was Hu Feng, the third in command of the Tianshan Sect. He was drinking while holding the woman in his arms, touching her all over, making her gasp for breath.

"Brother Hu, let me toast you again. Now the boss has asked you to be fully responsible for the affairs of Luofeng Valley. Please take good care of me in the future." The thin man said, holding up the wine glass.

"Okay, okay. We are brothers, and I will definitely not forget you if there is any benefit. Haven't I already handed over that middle-grade spiritual field to you to take care of?" Hu Feng picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"I heard that the boss intends to set up Luofeng Valley as a branch of our sect. By then, Brother Hu should be the boss of our branch."

"Where did you hear this nonsense? I haven't heard of it."

"Brother Hu, I'm counting on you to help me get promoted to the corps."

"Your qualifications and cultivation are still a little lacking, but if I have the chance, I will talk to the boss."

The two men toasted each other, and after several rounds of drinking, the bearded man was already a little dizzy and his face turned red.

"Brother Xiao, I'm going first." After a few drinks, Hu Feng's sexual desire was aroused by the teasing of the young woman in his arms. He picked her up and was about to walk towards the back room.

"How can I serve such a vulgar woman? Today I have specially found a stunning beauty to accompany you. You all go down." The thin man waved his hand, and the woman in his arms immediately got up and left.

"Oh?" Hearing him say that, the bearded man also became interested and put the young woman in his arms down.

"What stunning beauty?"

"I've spent a fortune to find a female cultivator who's proficient in the secret arts of sex to accompany you, big brother. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Where is the person?" The bearded man's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly.

"Brother, come with me." The two men left the hall and came to a room in the backyard. Incense was burning in the four corners of the room, and what came into view were layers of thin red gauze curtains.

"The person is inside. Have fun, big brother. I'll take my leave first." After the thin man said this, he retreated. As the door closed, the room was dark, with only a little moonlight shining in through the window.

Hu Feng lifted the layers of red gauze curtains and came to the bed, only to see a woman lying under the red mandarin duck quilt.

He was drunk at this time, and he pulled back the red quilt. The woman was lying there naked, with skin as white as snow, and her curvy figure was very attractive.

Hu Feng laughed loudly and pounced on her without thinking. He took off his clothes in a few seconds and started to play with the beautiful woman's body wantonly.

After venting his anger, he rolled off the woman's body, gasping for breath. Only then did he observe the woman's appearance. With the help of the faint moonlight, looking at the woman's beautiful face, he felt a little familiar. After looking carefully for a while, Hu Feng's pupils suddenly shrank and he jumped up from the bed.

This woman was none other than Helian Quan's wife, Saliwa.

In an instant, he broke out in a cold sweat and his mind went blank.

He was drunk, and the light in the room was dim. This was a beauty prepared by his trusted subordinate Xiao Liang, so he didn't pay attention to her for a moment and was only concerned with venting his anger.

What's going on? Why is Shaliwa here? What's going on with Xiao Liang?

How could the stunning woman he was talking about be Sariva?

Many questions flashed through his mind.

Looking at Shariva who was lying motionless like a dead person beside him, he didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly picked up his clothes and left.

"Xiao Liang."

"Xiao Liang." After leaving the room, Hu Feng shouted loudly, wanting to find him to ask for clarification, but no matter how loudly he shouted, he couldn't find anyone.

At this moment, an old man heard the shouting and came over: "Master Hu, what do you want?"

"Where's Xiao Liang? Where is he?"

Hu Feng had already vaguely realized that this might be a trap.

"Master Xiao has left." The old man replied.

"Where did he go?"

"The villain doesn't know."

"Ah!" Hu Feng roared, grabbed the old man's neck and lifted up his hunched body, then with a click, he broke his neck.

At this point, it was obvious that this was a trap deliberately set by Xiao Liang. As for why he did this, although he couldn't figure it out, he knew it was definitely not a good thing.

He was furious and couldn't find Xiao Liang, so he used the old man in front of him as a scapegoat.

After his rage, Hu Feng calmed down and immediately turned back to the room. Shariva was still lying on the bed motionless. He went forward to check and found that although she had no injuries on the outside, her internal organs were severely damaged and she was on the verge of death.

What should I do? What should I do? If Helian Quan knew about this, he would definitely fight me to the death. Even if I had ten mouths, I couldn't explain it clearly. Besides, Xiao Liang was gone now.

No matter what, we can't leave people here, otherwise we'll be finished if they find out.

Now we can only take it one step at a time and keep the matter secret.

When people are in danger, they will cling to anything, even a life-saving straw.

Hu Feng still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that perhaps Xiao Liang did this just to get more benefits.

He pulled the quilt over, wrapped up Shariva's body, left the room, stepped on the flying magic weapon and sped away. When he arrived at a remote and deserted place, he looked at the woman wrapped in the quilt who was barely breathing.

Now that Xiao Liang cannot be found, this matter cannot be explained no matter how hard one tries. He must not let anyone know that Saliwa is in his hands.

Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He drove the flying magic weapon straight to the forest below, dug a hole, and buried the person in it.
