Fantasy: I Am the Villain.

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Snake Swallows the Elephant (Part One)

If anyone were a normal person, they wouldn't have hesitated for so long regarding the conditions Bai Ke had previously proposed.

Sikong Xuan hesitated for a long time, but in the end he could not resist Bai Ke's sweet talk. So, there is nothing that interests cannot solve. The only difference is the size of the interests.

Of course, Bai Ke never intended to actually give Wuliang Mountain to the Shennong Gang. This kind of gold falling from the sky is too big and would be too hot to handle.

At the very least, with the current strength of the Shennong Gang, it is still no match for the Wuliang Sword Sect. To think of annexing the latter is nothing short of wishful thinking.

Therefore, Bai Ke's real purpose was to personally eliminate Zuo Zimu and his group. The Shennong Gang members were merely forest rangers protecting Wuliang Mountain for Bai Ke.

It's not that Bai Ke is cold-blooded or two-faced; it's just that this matter concerns the grand plans of Tian Ce Palace and Bai Ke himself.

It is not safe to hand over Wuliang Mountain to anyone. The best way is for someone from Tian Ce Palace to take over the Wuliang Mountain range.

Then, a decoy array covering the entire mountain range will be set up to protect the secrets of Wuliang Mountain, ensuring that the initial control of this world by Tian Ce Palace will not be affected in any way.

It's a pity that Bai Ke is all alone now. How can he possibly occupy such a large mountain range by himself? Even if he slaughters the entire Wuliang Sword Sect, what difference will it make?

In this world, no single power has ever been able to monopolize a place. Even the emperor's palace has people responsible for cultivating the land, doesn't it?

So, if Bai Ke were to take over the Wuliang Mountains by himself, it would be fine for martial arts practitioners, but if he encountered ordinary people who were hunting or chopping wood, could he kill them all?

Clearly, Bai Ke was well aware of how unreliable this idea was, so he decided to adopt the methods used by the Japanese when they ruled Northeast China!

Support, yes! It means supporting another force and, by leveraging the influence of the Shennong Gang around the Wuliang Mountains, controlling the entire area as much as possible.

Now that Bai Ke has reached a cooperation agreement with the Shennong Gang, he will return to the Mountain and Sea Realm in the future. Of course, he will tell Sikong Xuan that he will return to the sect.

The Shennong Gang took the lead in prohibiting any unauthorized personnel from entering the back mountain of Wuliang Mountain, including the entire territory of the former Jianhu Palace.

Of course, in return, Bai Ke had to eliminate the threat of the Wuliang Sword Sect for the Shennong Gang. It seemed that Bai Ke suffered a great loss, but in fact, it was a win-win situation.

Bai Ke assured that after he left, until the Tian Ce Palace sent people to this world, no one would discover the secret of Wuliang Mountain.

Although he didn't think anyone would happen to discover the spatial rift in Wuliang Mountain right after he left, it was always better to be safe than sorry.

As for the Shennong Gang, with Bai Ke eliminating the high-ranking members of the Wuliang Sword Sect for them, they only needed to eliminate a few minor figures to gain a vast territory and make a fortune.

The two foxes huddled together and whispered for a long time before finally deciding on a plan to swallow an elephant with a snake.

Afterwards, Bai Ke bid farewell to Sikong Xuan and returned to his room to ponder his next plan.

Although he told Sikong Xuan that the entire Wuliang Mountain region belonged to him, he didn't know how big a scene would be when the Tian Ce Palace arrived.

They can only take it one step at a time. If things don't work out, they can just say it's the grandeur of their own sect. In that case, the Shennong Gang won't be able to disbelieve them, given the presence of a group of innate masters.

As his cultivation level improved, Bai Ke came to understand more and more about the so-called law of the jungle, the law of the dark jungle also applies to the cultivation world, and is even more naked in its application.

For the Wuliang Sword Sect, they were probably the most wronged in the entire Snake Swallowing Elephant plan. They were innocent, but possessing a treasure was a crime. The secret of the back mountain of Wuliang meant that Bai Ke could not tolerate them.

The Shennong Gang is different. Even if Bai Ke gives Wuliang Mountain to them, they can't possibly guard it as tightly as the Wuliang Sword Sect.

There's no other reason; after all, the Shennong Gang's stronghold is in Shennong Manor. To them, Wuliang Mountain is nothing more than a huge medicinal herb garden, and its value is not even as high as Shennong Manor.

However, Bai Ke still thought that when the people from Tian Ce Palace arrived, he would move Shennong Manor away, and it would be better for Wuliang Mountain to be guarded by his own people.

Just as Bai Ke had fabricated for Sikong Xuan, he ultimately had no intention of revealing his identity as an extraterrestrial visitor.

Ultimately, they are not of my kind and not of one mind. Just look at how long Sikong Xuan had to think before Bai Ke offered him sweet words; Bai Ke completely gave up on the idea of ​​winning Sikong Xuan over.

As the leader of the Shennong Gang, Sikong Xuan prioritizes the interests of the Shennong Gang in all his words and actions, and it is impossible for him to abandon this world and devote himself to serving the Tian Ce Palace.

Unfortunately, Bai Ke was relieved. Since he couldn't subdue him, he decided to treat it as a transaction.

In this way, Bai Ke only needs to eliminate a few people who haven't even reached the Innate Realm to get a large number of people to willingly guard the Wuliang Mountains for him, without suffering any loss.

As for Sikong Xuan, after receiving the antidote pill that Bai Ke had promised, he hurriedly summoned some of the elders in the gang to discuss the plan he had made with Bai Ke.

Ultimately, it was just a preliminary plan between the two of them, and he couldn't just make a snap decision and involve the Shennong Gang.

They even brought in several highly skilled doctors to study the antidote pill, hoping to find some traces of the Bai Ke sect.

Unfortunately, this elixir was refined using spiritual fire by the elder of the Wanbao Hall of the Tian Ce Palace, something that those physicians could not possibly understand.

After studying it for a long time, the old men couldn't come up with a clear explanation and could only brush it off with some vague statements about the medicine's mild and moderate properties.

Seeing this, Sikong Xuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and swallow the pill. Immediately, a surge of medicinal properties broke through the stagnant foreign true energy in his body.

Strictly speaking, the Life and Death Talisman is not a poisonous insect, but a unique hidden weapon of the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny. It uses a different kind of true energy to stay in the human body, causing unbearable itching when it takes effect.

After Sikong Xuan took the antidote pill, its powerful effects opened up all his meridians, and the true energy left behind by the old woman was also neutralized.

With his true energy surging, Sikong Xuan immediately broke through to the Innate Realm with the help of the elixir's medicinal properties, becoming one of the strongest martial artists in the world.

He was even more shocked. The pills he had casually given away had such miraculous effects. He wondered how mysterious and powerful Young Master Tian Ce's sect must be.

Seeing their leader's cultivation break through, the Shennong Gang members present no longer hesitated and immediately urged Sikong Xuan to send people to follow Bai Ke and conquer Wuliang Mountain.

Thus, with the help of an antidote pill, Bai Ke and Sikong Xuan's plan to swallow an elephant was officially launched!
