Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

"The White Snake Lady?"

Tang Zhenghao was taken aback upon hearing this.

How could he have forgotten that?

Recently, rumors about the White Snake Lady have been circulating throughout the city. Many martial artists and ordinary people who frequently enter the Ten Thousand Mountains regard the White Snake Lady as a mountain god and worship her devoutly.

While some of the rumors about the White Snake Lady may sound absurd and unbelievable, the White Snake Lady herself is a real person.

"Rumor has it that this White Snake Lady is extremely powerful and terrifying, and not an ordinary martial artist can deal with her."

Tang Zhenghao frowned with concern and said, "Furthermore, the White Snake Lady has a great many followers. If people find out that we want to take her snake gall, it will probably arouse the wrath of people in the martial arts world and the common people."

Although he is strong and domineering, he is not without brains.

Even though he was the lord of a city and belonged to the Dayong Dynasty, if his plan to obtain the snake's gall were exposed, he would not face the retaliation of a rabble, but rather a large number of believers.

Among these believers are many highly skilled independent practitioners.

Once these people hold a grudge against him and his family, they are still in danger, even with guards protecting them!

"What do you mean?"

Ding Lin snorted coldly, her face displeased: "Don't you want to save our son's life? Besides, what's so scary about those rabble? As long as we do it discreetly and no one else knows, there won't be any problems."

Xu Wei seized the opportunity and chimed in, "If the city lord and his wife really want to obtain the White Snake Lady's gallbladder, I do have a method for you to consider."

"Doctor Xu, what good ideas do you have? Tell us quickly."

Tang Zhenghao urged him on, slightly surprised.

Xu Wei smiled and replied, "I suppose the City Lord and his wife are unaware of this. Although the White Snake Lady has many followers, she also has a considerable number of people who hate her! If the City Lord wishes to keep this matter discreet, he can secretly contact these people. I imagine they would be very happy to help the City Lord with this."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Ding Lin asked curiously, "Isn't the White Snake Goddess said to be dedicated to doing good deeds and saving people? Why would anyone hate her?"

Tang Zhenghao was also very curious about this.

Xu Wei explained, "That's because the White Snake Lady didn't save everyone! Those who weren't saved died in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. And when their relatives and friends learned about the White Snake Lady's deeds, they naturally felt very dissatisfied with this selective and unfair treatment, which eventually turned into hatred."

"I see……"

Tang Zhenghao nodded.

If what Xu Wei said is true, then the method proposed by the other party is indeed feasible!

Tang Zhenghao spent several days secretly investigating what Xu Wei had said.

After confirming that it was completely true, Tang Zhenghao immediately had someone compile a list of martial artists who harbored hatred towards the White Snake Lady, and finally selected the ten strongest among them to extend invitations.

Of course, Tang Zhenghao was not foolish enough to use his real identity to contact and win over these ten people. Instead, he used a mysterious wealthy businessman who shared the same experience as the ten people and also hated the White Snake Lady.

Because they shared a common enemy, and because Tang Zhenghao, who had gathered the ten people, was very generous, the ten people readily agreed to participate in Tang Zhenghao's plan to hunt down the White Snake Lady.

Thus, the snake-hunting team, led by Tang Zhenghao, was officially established.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

These ten people had all conducted quite detailed research on the White Snake Lady. Therefore, they came together to devise a very meticulous hunting plan.

They planned to first find an innocent civilian to act as bait, thereby luring out the White Snake Lady, and then they would all work together to hunt her down.

Considering the White Snake Lady's strength and enormous size, Tang Zhenghao specially provided a crossbow designed for hunting large wild beasts, and had someone prepare a large amount of powder to paralyze wild beasts, which was then applied to the crossbow bolts.

Tang Zhenghao originally intended to use poison, but when he thought that his son still needed the snake gall of the White Snake Lady, he changed the poison to an anesthetic.

Once everything was ready, the snake-hunting team disguised themselves as martial artists and villagers who were going into the mountains to hunt and gather herbs, and entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains in three groups.

Meanwhile, Xu Wei, the instigator of everything, was being treated to the finest food and drinks in a superior guest room at the city lord's mansion.

Xu Wei knew that this seemingly VIP treatment was actually a form of house arrest.

However, he didn't care at all.

In his view, no matter how well Tang Zhenghao prepared or how many martial artists he gathered, it would all be in vain if there were no grandmaster-level experts among them.

Once they encounter that giant white serpent, there is absolutely no chance of success.

His certainty stemmed not only from the accounts of Huo Fei's three adopted sons who had been saved by the White Snake Lady, but primarily from the fact that the father of a patient he had treated a year ago was a top-tier master.

This person witnessed the White Snake Lady taking action in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

It was because of this person's words that Xu Wei felt Tang Zhenghao had almost no chance of success.

Although Tang Zhenghao's team included many top-tier experts, none of them had ever seen the giant white serpent in person. Therefore, their accounts alone were insufficient to fully grasp the serpent's terrifying nature.

If Tang Zhenghao's plan fails and he is unable to bring back the snake gall, then he will have a legitimate reason for being unable to treat Tang Mingxuan.

Even if Lord Tang was furious, he wouldn't vent his anger on him; he would only seek other methods.

And a hundred-year-old spirit snake is not so easy to find. Even if it exists, it can only grow in the forbidden areas of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, where few people go.

In this way, the period of missing snake gall will be extended indefinitely.

Given Tang Mingxuan's current condition, he can only live for about another year at most.

He will be safe once he dies and the lights go out.

Tang Zhenghao and Ding Lin had no idea what Xu Wei was planning. At this moment, they were anxiously and nervously waiting for the snake-hunting team to return in triumph.
