Chapter 574 Sincerity
The candlelight flickered, and in the splendid house, the incense burner exuded a faint scent of sandalwood.
Suddenly, a burst of slight footsteps broke the silence here, and Chen Yun knocked on the door softly.
"Come in!"
A voice came from inside the house. Chen Yun opened the door and led Qin Mengying, who was still struggling, into the house.
"Hall Master, Qin Mengying has been brought here."
"You go down."
"Yes!"
Chen Yun exited the room and took the initiative to close the door before leaving.
With the creak of the heavy door, the room fell into silence again.
Qin Mengying's beautiful eyes widened and she looked ahead nervously.
There, a figure was sitting cross-legged on a futon, surrounded by a faint blood-colored mist.
The demonic aura was rising, and as the candlelight flickered, the shadows were stretched very long, and the mottled shadows on the wall were twisting wantonly, as if some kind of demon that chose people to eat was about to emerge from the world, and an indescribable sense of oppression shrouded it. the whole room.
"What do you want."
Qin Mengying looked at Su Jie who was practicing with vigilant eyes. With such a powerful aura, not to mention that her spiritual power was locked up, even in the period of complete victory, she would not be the opponent's enemy.
So when she came here, Qin Mengying almost resigned to her fate. She couldn't resist relying on her strength. She could only pray that Su Jie wasn't really greedy for her body.
Su Jie slowly opened his eyes, stood up from the futon, and walked towards Qin Mengying step by step.
Every time Su Jie took a step forward, Qin Mengying took a step back until she shrank into the corner, unable to retreat.
"You, don't come over."
Qin Mengying curled up and looked at Su Jie who was approaching. She no longer had the pride of a fairy, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
"Look, I scare you. Am I that scary?"
Su Jie waved slightly, and Qin Mengying's body suddenly flew out of control and flew in front of Su Jie.
"You"
Qin Mengying was speechless. How many people have you killed and become the shadow of many righteous monks? Don't you have a clear idea of your own image?
Of course, Qin Mengying did not dare to say this, for fear of angering Su Jie.
"I am the Immortal Miao of Huoyun Palace. If you want money, tell me the number. We at Huoyun Palace will not be stingy."
Qin Mengying took out her backstage, hoping to bribe Su Jie with money.
"Haha, I'm not looking for you this time for money."
Su Jie lifted Qin Mengying's fair chin, stared at her beautiful face, and showed a smile.
"You, Demon Su, you have to die a good death. Even if you get my body, you can't get my heart."
Qin Mengying suddenly became desperate, her pretty face turned pale, thinking that her virginity was about to be lost.
"Husband, how long do you want to play."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Su Jie, and Han Ruyan turned around from the dressing table. She was wearing a bright red wedding dress and her tone was cold.
Su Jie coughed twice and suppressed his smile: "Forget it, you are too rude."
As he spoke, Su Jie let go of his control over Qin Mengying.
The suspended Qin Mengying landed on the ground again, and then he saw Qin Mengying shrinking to one side like a frightened kitten.
At the same time, Qin Mengying cast a grateful look at Han Ruyan and listened to the conversation between Su Jie and Han Ruyan, letting her know that her virginity seemed to be safe.
"Now let's get down to business."
Su Jie pulled up a chair, crossed his legs, and said to Qin Mengying: "I came to you alone this time because I have something to tell you. You are the immortal seedling of the Fire Cloud Palace, which means that you are here Your status in the Fire Cloud Palace will not be low. You should be able to meet the sect leader directly. I can let you go back, but you have to send a message to me."
Seeing Su Jie's serious expression, Qin Mengying shook her head and realized that Su Jie's purpose was not to let her sleep with him, but for another purpose.
"Okay, okay, whatever you want me to say, I will definitely bring it to you."
After coming back to her senses, Qin Mengying agreed without saying a word. Now as long as she can leave Su Jie's side, she is willing to pass on any message.
"It's very simple. I, Su Jie, want to cooperate with your Fire Cloud Palace for strategic cooperation."
Su Jie revealed his true purpose, leaving Qin Mengying's mouth slightly open.
"Cooperation? You are a demon cultivator."
Qin Mengying almost thought she heard wrongly and subconsciously replied.
She originally thought Su Jie was going to get something from Fire Cloud Palace, but she heard the word cooperation.
A giant of the demonic path in Qingzhou wanted to cooperate with Huoyundian, the leader of the righteous path in Qingzhou, which made Qin Mengying's brain slightly short-circuited.
Seeing Qin Mengying's surprised expression, Su Jie said calmly: "Whoever stipulated that the evil way and the right way cannot cooperate. In this world, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only eternal interests. As long as the interests are big enough, the good devil can Naturally, we can join forces.”
Qin Mengying opened her mouth. She instinctively wanted to refute, because this was very different from her past understanding, but the words in Su Jie's mouth made her not know where to refute.
In Qin Mengying's silence, Su Jie's voice continued to come, like the devil's bewitchment.
"As far as I know, eighty years ago, a huge battle broke out between your Fire Cloud Palace and Guanchao Pavilion. Nine people from the Taoist Realm fell from both sides in the battle. At that time, the sect master of your Fire Cloud Palace, the Zi Mansion Jing Da Neng died at the hands of the leader of Guanchao Pavilion.”
Su Jie talked about history. Huoyundian was the leader of Qingzhou's righteous path, while Guanchao Pavilion was the leader of Qingzhou's righteous path. The former was good at controlling fire, while the latter was good at handling water. There was already friction.
At that time, the Guanchao Pavilion was extremely powerful. There were not only the masters of the Purple Mansion Realm but also a large number of elders in the sect. They suppressed all dissatisfaction in Qingzhou. With Qingzhou at its peak, there was a natural need for expansion and wanted to obtain more resources, land, and land. Spiritual veins, genius disciples, etc.
Of course, Huoyundian's strength was not bad either. It was the dominant sect in Qingzhou. At that time, Wanjian Alliance was far from being able to compete with Huoyundian.
If we follow common sense, although there will be friction between the two sects, there will not be a tragic war. But an accident occurred. On the border between Qingzhou and Qingzhou, some casual cultivators accidentally discovered a cave left by an ancient power. This became the trigger for the war between Huoyun Temple and Guanchao Pavilion.
In order to compete for this cave, the two sides fought for three years. Countless monks fell and corpses were everywhere. Not to mention the elders of the Secret Realm, even the Daotai Realm lost nine.
The leader of the Purple Mansion Realm of the Fire Cloud Palace died in the battle, and the leader of the Purple Mansion Realm of the Guanchao Pavilion was seriously injured and was said to have died long ago.
In the end, Guanchao Pavilion was slightly better, but the cave later fell into the hands of Guanchao Pavilion, which made Huoyundian always worried.
The relationship between the two sects has been on the same level since the war.
Guanchao Pavilion declined due to this battle, which also gave Guiling Palace a chance to breathe and develop slowly.
The Ten Thousand Swords Alliance also took advantage of the situation to rise in Gyeongju, occupying many of the sources of spiritual materials in the Fire Cloud Palace and becoming the second sect of Gyeongju's righteous path.
After hearing what Su Jie said, Qin Mengying certainly knew this history very well.
After all, what happened eighty years ago is just an ordinary life for mortals, but for monks, their lifespans are much longer than that of mortals. There are still many elders in the Fire Cloud Palace who have experienced that cruel war. .
"In addition, I remember that the relationship between your Fire Cloud Palace and the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance is also very bad. I am not wrong."
Su Jie continued, mentioning the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance, Qin Mengying's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Humph, Ten Thousand Swords Alliance, when we fought against Guanchao Pavilion, if Wanjian Alliance hadn't taken advantage of the situation and stabbed us in the back, our Fire Cloud Palace might not have lost that war."
Qin Mengying said harshly that the role played by Wanjianmeng at that time was indeed disgraceful. They secretly joined forces with Guanchao Pavilion to stab Huoyundian, which led to the failure of the Huoyundian war and took the opportunity to steal many spiritual materials belonging to Huoyundian. The land, including several important spiritual stone mines, was able to develop into the second sect in Gyeongju, with the strength directly catching up with Huoyundian.
As a fairy of Huoyun Temple, Qin Mengying has a high sense of identity with Huoyun Temple, almost treating it as her own home. Although she has not experienced the battlefield in the past, it does not prevent her from feeling the same and being filled with righteous indignation.
"Now Guanchao Pavilion and I have a hostile relationship, and Wanjian League happens to be my enemy as well. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is the natural basis for our cooperation."
Su Jie finally revealed his true purpose, wanting to unite with Huoyun Palace to cause trouble together.
Su Jie knew very well that with his current strength, it was basically impossible to head-on against a Qingzhou overlord like Guanchao Pavilion. Even if Guanchao Pavilion did not have a powerful master in the Purple Mansion Realm, it would not be his Taoist platform. The cultivation level of the second level can be overturned.
At this time, external forces are your own help.
So what if it's the right way? Su Jie doesn't care about colluding with the right way.
As long as you can achieve your goals and earn profits, you can put aside the faction disputes for now.
For Su Jie, he loved war so much. The benefits from destroying a righteous sect were too great.
Think about the Zixia Sect, which provided tens of millions of spiritual stones to Su Jie in the first battle. It would take many years of hard work and accumulation to save it.
In addition, Su Jie will take charge of Guiling Palace sooner or later and take charge of this demonic sect, and Guanchao Pavilion, as the leader of the righteous path in Qingzhou, is a huge threat.
Being able to weaken the strength of Guanchao Pavilion is something Su Jie would like to see, not to mention making profits.
"This and this"
Qin Mengying's face was tangled. She saw Su Jie's eyes full of ambition.
"You can't be the master. All you need to do is pass the message on to your sect leader. I will meet with your sect leader at the appointed time and place."
Su Jie turned around, opened the window, pointed out the window condescendingly and said: "This is our sincerity."
Qin Mengying looked for words, and her pupils suddenly dilated.
I saw a lush forest under the flying dharma boat.
Surrounded by mountains, there is a spiritual material mine shrouded in mist. The stone walls outside here are covered with dense runes, shining with a faint light.
There were low-level monks passing through, wearing bamboo hats and holding tools, sweating profusely, and the sound of chiseling into rocks could be heard one after another.
From time to time, pieces of ore containing spiritual energy are carefully mined, exuding a faint golden halo. They vary in size. Occasionally, the wind blows, and the tiny stone chips fly in the wind, reflecting the brilliance of the sun, as if Lit with golden flames.
In another part of the mine, hills of mined ore are piled up, waiting to be transported to the outside world for cultivators to use for refining weapons.
There are also disciples patrolling and guarding all over the mine. They are wearing Guanchao Pavilion's costumes, and the Guanchao Pavilion's flag can be seen erected everywhere.
This mining area is a spiritual material mining area in Guanchao Pavilion. There is a spiritual material called Sun Yan Stone in the mountains, which can be used to refine magical weapons, which can effectively enhance the fire power of magical weapons.
However, this mining area, which has been peaceful and peaceful for a long time, is now in flames of war.
The attacking formations of the Small Thousand Flying Dharma Boats fell continuously. Under the glow of the formation, a large number of Guanchao Pavilion monks were blown to pieces by the strong wind, ignited by the sky fire into flaming figures, and struck by lightning into a human shape. Coke, there is scorched earth everywhere in the mine.
On top of the dharma boat, thousands of Ghost Ridge Palace disciples, riding Thousand-Handed Centipedes, led by several secret treasure realm elders, excitedly and wildly rushed into the mine.
The person stationed in Guanchao Pavilion at this Riyan Stone Mine has only one secret treasure realm elder with the highest combat power.
"No, it's Demon Su."
At this time, seeing the appearance of the Little Thousand Flying Dharma Boat, the expression of the elder of the Secret Treasure Realm of Guanchao Pavilion changed drastically, and he immediately chose to fly away with his sword, completely ignoring the disciples of the sect who were calling for help, and he had no intention of resisting and fending off foreign enemies. No.
It's just that his flight was unable to withstand the purple light rays of the Thousand-Hand Centipede. As soon as he flew a few miles away, he was pierced by purple light rays and shot into a hornet's nest. Only one human head fell down and was killed by the Thousand-Hand Centipede. The centipede held it in its mouth and sent it to Su Jie.
Other Ghost Ridge Palace monks also entered the Sun Yan Stone Mine in large numbers, killed the disciples of Guanchao Pavilion, robbed the resources of the mine, and moved everything that could be moved away, and transported it to the Feitian Dharma Boat.
The entire mine was filled with smoke, filled with the excited howls of the demon cultivators and the screams of the disciples of Guanchao Pavilion. The smell of death and blood lingered for a long time.
Qin Mengying's breathing was rapid. Although she was a righteous fairy, she had never experienced such a brutal and ungrateful war. She was completely focused on killing and looting.
"This is my sincerity, Su Jie. After you return to the sect, just tell the truth about everything you saw."
Su Jie chuckled lightly and handed the head of the Guanchao Pavilion elder to Qin Mengying.
Qin Mengying took the head with a dull expression on her face, her face was complicated and unreadable, and she knew more about Su Jie's temperament.
This was a demonic giant who used all means to achieve his goals. While talking and laughing, he destroyed a spiritual material mining site and killed hundreds of monks, just to show his sincerity.
The cruelty of her methods made Qin Mengying feel a little scared in her heart, and it was hard to say that she approved of Su Jie's actions, but she was sensible enough not to say anything more, because she couldn't make a decision. Whether to cooperate with Su Jie on important matters for the sect, the only choice was fire. Only the leader of Yundian can decide.
Qin Mengying didn't know that compared to Tianyuan World and Blue Star, countless times more people died indirectly at the hands of Su Jie than in Tianyuan World, so her level of knowledge was still too low.
