Chapter 2383 Recruitment
Demon saints frequently appear in Liandu Lake.
It may be a coincidence once or twice, but if it happens three times in a short period of time, there must be something wrong.
Needless to say, in the ten thousand years before this, no battles between demon saints had occurred in Liandu Lake.
"Back when we were at Shilong Mountain, you wanted to go south with all your heart. Now that we are at Liandu Lake, do you still want to go south?"
Chi Lian's tone changed and he suddenly became concerned about Qin Sang.
Qin Sang looked at Chi Lian, hesitated for a moment, and said: "My goal... is to cross the Liandu Lake, but who would have thought..."
Qin Sang sighed, looking unwilling.
Chi Lian showed an expression of "as expected", "Before the Demon Saint occupied the Liandu Lake, there were indeed many opportunities. With someone like you who is cunning, alert, and good at fighting, you will definitely be able to achieve success and make a name for yourself."
I don't know whether Chi Lian was praising him or insulting him.
Qin Sang raised his eyebrows, his expression unchanged, listening to what Chi Lian wanted to say.
"But times have changed. Recently, major events have occurred frequently in Liandu Lake, and the situation has immediately become delicate. This may be a sign that the demon saints are going to divide up Liandu Lake again!"
Chi Lian said in a deep voice, "I have long seen that you are very proud and unwilling to surrender, but whether you are willing to admit it or not, the fate of the world will ultimately depend on the mood of the powerful!"
"How could I not understand this?" Qin Sang sighed, "I am not so arrogant as to go against the demon saint. At first I thought I could avoid him if I couldn't afford to offend him, or at worst I could stay away from him. I heard that although the Liandu Lake was in chaos, it was better for people to be free and unrestrained. Now it seems that some things are not something we can ask for. I'd better think carefully about which great saint to join."
Qin Sang seemed to have lost all his fighting spirit. He kept shaking his head, looking listless.
"Not entirely," Chi Lian said shockingly.
"Oh?"
Qin Sang suddenly raised his head, "What do you have to teach me, fellow Daoist?"
Then Qin Sang thought of something and shook his head again. "If you let me join Wuxianzhai, you don't need to mention it. Although Wuxianzhai is famous, when troubled times come, I will be caught between the demon saints and will be in danger at any moment. It is better to join the demon saint directly. Unless there is a demon saint behind Wuxianzhai..."
Qin Sang narrowed his eyes and stared at Chi Lian.
After joining Wuxianzhai for so long, Qin Sang can feel the differences in closeness and distance within Wuxianzhai. His status in Wuxianzhai seems to be higher than Chi Lian, but he has no access to the secrets of Wuxianzhai. Whatever he wants, he needs to exchange it with merit. The price is clearly marked and everyone is treated fairly.
Compared with Chi Lian, the difference between him is the difference between "outer sect" and "inner sect".
If Wuxianzhai recruited him and he agreed, he could also enter the inner gate, but Wuxianzhai would never accept a member with an unknown origin, and his origins could not withstand investigation.
Chi Lian smiled slightly and said, "You have great ambitions, and our small temple of Wuxianzhai cannot accommodate them. However, before you find a wise master, why don't you consider it?"
Qin Sang said seriously, "Please explain clearly, fellow Taoist."
Chi Lian nodded and explained the whole story.
It turned out that according to the intelligence obtained by Wuxianzhai, after the powerful man showed up to fight, the situation changed drastically and the forces inside and outside Liandu Lake began to stir.
In addition to the major event of the demise of the Four Kings, the overlords of all parties in Liandu Lake have begun to prepare for war. Now, the situation in Liandu Lake is in a state of panic and war is imminent, which may very well lead to a reshuffle of the situation in Liandu Lake that has been maintained for ten thousand years.
Once the melee begins, it will never end easily and will eventually involve all the forces in Liandu Lake. In this process, the old overlord will inevitably fall and the new overlord will rise.
Of course, if the demon saints were to divide up the Lotus Crossing Lake, no matter how the demon kings fought, they would not be able to change the outcome. And if the demon saints did not interfere openly as before, this would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Even Wuxianzhai couldn't sit still and wanted to get a piece of the pie.
"We plan to use some new faces to enter Liandu Lake, occupy a site, and openly establish a force. This force has no relationship with Wuxianzhai on the surface, so Qingxiao and others are not suitable. In addition, the place we are interested in is located in the territory of the Four Kings. After the disappearance of the Four Kings, the external forces were not sure at first and were waiting and watching. Now they have begun to take action. It can be predicted that the territory vacated by the Four Kings will be divided up in a short time. If we send members from outside, I am afraid we will lose the initiative. Because I was demoted not long ago, and not much is known about my identity. The higher-ups ordered me and another guy to hide our identities and sneak into Liandu Lake as soon as possible..."
Chi Lian explained the whole story in one breath, and said solemnly, "This is my best chance to turn things around, but the other girl and I have always been at odds, and her roots here are much deeper than mine. I hope fellow Taoist can come and help me."
Seeing Chi Lian actually put aside their past grudges and tried to win him over, Qin Sang was somewhat surprised, "Fellow Daoist, you told me such a secret thing, aren't you afraid that I will leak it out?"
"Wuxianzhai treats you well, what reason do you have to betray it? Besides, I believe you are smart enough and will not make enemies easily." Chi Lian said confidently.
There is another reason. She is just one of the many chess pieces of Wuxianzhai. In the current situation, it is no secret that various forces have made their move in Liandu Lake.
Considering the wide layout of Wuxianzhai, there must be some members of Wuxianzhai among the demon kings in Liandu Lake. Her exposure here will not have any impact on the overall situation.
Therefore, the upper echelons of Wuxianzhai issued orders without interfering too much, allowing them to act according to circumstances, which was more like a leisurely move.
Chi Lian was eager to make a contribution, so he went to Qin Sang.
When they traveled together before, Chi Lian had already witnessed Qin Sang's strength and the power of his thunder magic. He was definitely the best among people of the same level, and she did not dare to underestimate him. No wonder Qin Sang was determined to make his way to Liandu Lake.
After the last setback, Chi Lian realized that Qin Sang was not someone she could control, but since she already knew Qin Sang's ambitions, she could cater to his preferences. This kind of cooperation would be more reliable than forced control.
Qin Sang pondered in silence.
Chi Lian's invitation made his heart beat fast.
Even though he had already made arrangements to keep Meishan Yuanjun in Liandu Lake, neither he, Meishan Yuanjun, nor Wutuxian could be seen in public.
By joining Chi Lian's army, Qin Sang can hide behind Wuxianzhai, and Wuxianzhai's intelligence capabilities are very strong. Once there is any disturbance, they can receive the news as quickly as possible.
Chi Lian saw that Qin Sang was already moved, so he continued his efforts.
"If the Demon Saint wants to divide up the Lotus Crossing Lake, we dare not fight with him and will just withdraw. If it is just a false alarm, we will join forces and occupy a place in the Lotus Crossing Lake. Then we can give a part of it to you as your foundation. What's the difficulty?
“In the future, we can still help each other and form an offensive and defensive alliance.
“No matter where you are, you can’t achieve anything alone!
"Also, fellow Daoist, don't you want to get some information? From what I've learned, the powerful people in Liandu Lake have been holding alliance meetings recently. Once we step forward, we can also participate in the meetings and get the most timely intelligence."
Qin Sang sighed, "Fellow Daoist, you are very eloquent. I am really moved."
Chi Lian was overjoyed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you probably don't have a place to stay yet. I have a great cave nearby, I'll lend it to you first."
"Thank you in advance," Qin Sang bowed, "May I ask, after you become king, what will the name of your mountain sect be?"
"Temporarily named Tianyunpu!"
……
Qin Sang became the first member absorbed by Chi Lian into Tianyunpu.
Chi Lian and Qin Sang agreed on a meeting time and left in a hurry to prepare for the conquest of Liandu Lake. Qin Sang took the secret talisman from the cave, left the stronghold, and followed the guidance of the secret talisman. After flying for a while, he arrived above a spiritual lake.
The cave is located in the center of the lake, and the lake surface is like a mirror and quite quiet.
Qin Sang nodded with satisfaction and looked towards the south. This cave was not far from Feixianji. It seemed that it would be a neighbor of the Three Feixian Friends.
Mo Yan's magical powers left a deep impression on Qin Sang. The art of painting and the art of talismans have something in common. If he could discuss this with Mo Yan, he would definitely benefit a lot. Qin Sang plans to find time to visit the Three Feixian Friends later.
Activating the secret talisman, invisible waves spread out in the void.
The scenery of Linghu Lake remained unchanged, but it seemed as if a layer of barrier was missing. Qin Sang slipped in and found the cave covered by the forbidden formation in the center of the lake.
The pavilions and towers on the island were fresh and elegant, very much to Qin Sang's liking.
This cave is actually the property of Wuxianzhai, so there is no need to worry about it being suddenly attacked by foreign enemies.
Qin Sang fell into the cave and called out Wu Tuxian.
"Greetings, my lord," Wu Tuxian bowed respectfully.
"From now on, you will stay here, try to capture a few little demons, and gather information," Qin Sang instructed.
He and Meishan Yuanjun are both in Liandu Lake, and there must be someone watching outside to inform them in time if anything unexpected happens.
"Old slave, you obey!"
Wu Tuxian used to be the master of the mountain, so he was very familiar with these matters. He didn't need Qin Sang's instructions and immediately went out to look for subordinates.
At this moment, Suzaku suddenly jumped out, "I want to stay too!"
Qin Sang was startled and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to make trouble!"
The powerful here are showing off their power everywhere, and Qin Sang is really worried if he doesn't bring Zhuque with him.
"Who said I was fooling around? I must have my reasons for staying. If you don't believe me, let this guy keep an eye on me!" Zhuque raised its wings and pointed at Wutuxian.
Wu Tuxian didn't know Zhuque's true identity, but seeing that a little fire crow dared to boss Qin Sang around, how could he dare to look down on him? He just nodded in agreement and didn't dare to agree.
"Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter and I won't cause you any trouble," Suzaku said seriously, rarely.
Qin Sang hesitated for a moment. He knew that Zhuque had been mysterious during this period and was secretly planning something, but he finally chose to believe it once.
"Wutuxian, you will obey its orders from now on! But if it does anything out of the ordinary, you must report it to me immediately!"
The Vermilion Bird curled its lips and flew over Wu Tuxian's head.
Wu Tuxian's whole body froze, not daring to move, and he responded respectfully.
Next, Qin Sang stayed in the cave for a few more days, and then received a message from Chi Lian. He came to Feixianji and met Chi Lian.
Chi Lian brought over a dozen demon generals this time, all of whom were at the Spirit Transformation Stage. They had a strong aura and were all elite.
"Why don't you pay your respects to King Qingfeng!" Chi Lian shouted.
"Greetings to King Qingfeng!"
The demon generals all saluted.
Qin Sang felt that this title was a bit awkward, but he could only follow the local customs. He said "no need to be polite" and landed next to Chi Lian.
Chi Lian waved his hand and led all the monsters to disappear into the night.
"I originally considered three places, but I finally chose this one. Look at the terrain..."
Chi Lian took out a geomancy map and pointed to a certain place on it.
Qin Sang moved his eyes to look, and coincidentally, the place chosen by Chi Lian was also in King Fu's territory, but it was far away from Sankong Mountain, located east of Sankong Mountain.
Chi Lian also chose a mountain range in the swamp, but the mountain range here was two parallel ones.
The two mountains are almost parallel and only a hundred miles apart.
"Originally, there were two demon kings under King Fu in charge here. According to our investigation, the two demon kings should have fallen. It just so happens that that guy and I each occupy one place," said Chi Lian.
"So, we have to be neighbors with that guy forever?" Qin Sang frowned, "We can't separate?"
A fortress is often breached from the inside. Since Chi Lian doesn't get along with the other one, it's best to separate them so that out of sight, out of mind.
A distance of a hundred miles is too close for the Demon King. They are almost together day and night, and a conflict might break out one day.
"Do you think I want to see that slutty vixen every day?"
Chi Lian gritted her teeth and said, "This is an order from above, and the situation is changing rapidly. We really shouldn't be separated too far."
"In that case, why don't you just have a fight?" Qin Sang suggested.
"That's exactly what I meant!"
Chi Lian's eyes sparkled, "That slutty vixen has been mocking me all the time, I will definitely beat her into a pulp this time."
Qin Sang shook his head. To them, it was just a game. Chi Lian and the other fox demon wanted to create the illusion of opposition, so it couldn't be a fake fight. For the demon soldiers below, it would be a life-and-death battle.
But in front of those demon saints, aren’t they also demon soldiers?
With the motivation of "revenge", Chi Lian began to make serious preparations. At this time, Qin Sang received a message from Meishan Yuanjun.
Knowing that Qin Sang was leaving halfway, Chi Lian said worriedly: "You have to get there in time, don't delay."
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"
Qin Sang bid farewell to Chi Lian and returned to Sankong Mountain as quickly as possible.
Sankong Mountain.
Meishan Yuanjun has taken control of the situation and become the new demon king. All the demon soldiers and generals under his command have surrendered to him. Taking advantage of the emptiness around him, he sent troops to other places, conquered several precious lands, and made a name for himself.
Upon seeing Qin Sang, Meishan Yuanjun hurried forward to pay his respects.
"Where is the letter?" Qin Sang asked.
Meishan Yuanjun took out a golden talisman, and with a flash of golden light, lines of golden characters appeared in the void.
After reading the above content, Qin Sang frowned and thought, and asked: "Are you sure it is related to the Great Sage Beiheng?"
"There have been a lot of rumors recently, all saying that the Black Silence Demon King was sent by the Great Sage Beiheng. Maybe it's just fake news spread by it, but there are already demon kings who have defected to it..."
Meishan Yuanjun talked about what happened after Qin Sang left.
Not long after Qin Sang left, a Black Silence Demon King arrived. It was said that he was very powerful and had been a close confidant of the Great Sage Beiheng.
The so-called Great Sage Beiheng is a demon saint on the north bank of Liandu Lake. The cave that Chi Lian gave to Qin Sang is not far from the territory of the Great Sage Beiheng.
Therefore, if this demon was sent by the Great Sage Beiheng, it means that the demon saints have really intervened, which is a signal that cannot be ignored.
