Chapter 182 Beauty Moves the Heart
Ye Changsheng stepped onto this not-so-big island and walked towards the gate of the Yin Gui Sect.
Judging from the aura of Wu Chou coming from the Yin Gui Sect, this should be a trap set by Wu Chou specifically for Zi Ling.
In the original novel, the Miaoyin Sect should have bought the Tianlei Bamboo from this small sect.
Then, Wu Chou instructed the disciples of Jiyin Island to pretend to be disciples of Yinsha Sect, intercept the caravan of Miaoyin Sect, and kill Zhou Yuan.
Then, Zi Ling was lured out.
Thinking of this, Ye Changsheng sneered.
Unexpectedly, after his appearance caused many butterfly effects, Wu Chou still did this.
And it was many years ahead of schedule!
However, the people who came to buy the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo this time were not from the Miaoyin Sect!
"Stop, who are you? This is the gate of the Yin Gui Sect!"
A cold shout sounded in front of Ye Changsheng, and two Qi-refining disciples were standing in front of the gate of the Yin Gui Sect.
But after taking a closer look at Ye Changsheng, their faces changed instantly, and they immediately became respectful and said hurriedly:
"Please forgive me, Senior. I was blind and didn't recognize you. Senior, please forgive me for your visit. If there is anything we brothers can do for you, please let me know!"
The two men apologized to Ye Changsheng with frightened looks and said a lot of nice things.
When they took a quick glance just now, they found that this senior's cultivation level was completely unpredictable.
Needless to say, this must be a cultivator whose realm is much higher than theirs.
Either they are in the late stage of foundation building or in the stage of golden core formation, no matter which realm they are in, they cannot afford to offend them.
The two of them apologized in panic, but Ye Changsheng just glanced at them indifferently.
Since he came here to kill someone, he naturally wouldn't care what these two people said.
However, he didn't want to take action until he saw the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.
Because we can't be sure whether Tianlei Bamboo is really in this sect now, we can't alert the enemy.
Moreover, it would be bad if a fight broke out and the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo was destroyed before we got it!
"I heard that your sect has a Heavenly Thunder Bamboo that you are interested in selling, so I came here specifically to discuss this deal!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, the two Qi Refining disciples looked at Ye Changsheng in surprise and immediately said, "Please wait for a moment, Senior. I will report to the Sect Master right away!"
Having said that, one of them immediately ran in, while the other stayed behind and talked to Ye Changsheng carefully.
"Senior, our Yin Gui Sect..."
"Well, so you guys are really connected to the Jiyin Island in the Tongtian Fog Sea?"
"Yes, our sect leader came from Jiyin Island. It is said that he had the honor to talk to the ancestor in those days!" When the young Qi-refining cultivator said this, his face was full of pride.
He secretly glanced at Ye Changsheng, trying to see an expression of awe or admiration on his face.
As a result, all we saw was indifference.
"I heard that the Jiyin Island is full of various terrifying formations that can draw on the power of the Tongtian Mist Sea. It's really terrifying!"
"Senior is well-informed, it is true. I heard from the sect master before that with the help of the formations on the island, the ancestor can fight against the masters in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul on equal terms!"
…
During the conversation, Ye Changsheng roughly understood that the Yin Gui Sect was a subsidiary sect of Jiyin Island and also one of its eyes and ears.
Responsible for monitoring the Tongtianwu Sea Department and acting as a sentry.
There are many small sects like theirs around Tongtian Fog Sea.
Once there is any disturbance in these places, the news will immediately spread to Jiyin Island.
Ancestor Ji Yin stayed in his old nest on Ji Yin Island. With the help of his disciples to operate the formation, he was able to gain the blessing of the geographical location and his strength was comparable to that of a middle-stage Nascent Soul.
This is also one of the reasons why this old ghost has such a big reputation.
If an ordinary demon Yuanying were as arrogant as he was, he would have been dealt with by Xinggong long ago.
The two waited for a moment, and then several footsteps were heard from inside the mountain gate of the Yin Gui Sect.
A moment later, the Qi-refining disciple who had just entered came out with several middle-aged men.
The middle-aged man in the lead had a cultivation level of the fake elixir realm and a sinister look on his face. After he walked out, he glanced coldly at Ye Changsheng.
When he found out that his cultivation was only at the late stage of foundation building, he felt relieved.
"It seems that he is not a big shot!" the man thought.
"Excuse me, brother, who are you? We in the Yin Gui Sect will not sell the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo to someone of unknown origin!" the man said with a stern expression.
"I understand, you just want to sell it to Miaoyin Sect!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He smiled and said, "I am the external manager of Miaoyin Sect. Our Sect Master heard that you wanted to sell the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, so he specially asked me to come and buy it!"
"Oh? Miaoyin Sect?" Upon hearing this, a look of joy immediately flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes.
"If it's the Miaoyin Sect, then the matter of the Tianlei Bamboo can indeed be discussed, but Brother Daoist still has to prove his identity!" said the middle-aged man.
Ye Changsheng smiled, threw a token over and said, "This is the token of Miaoyin Sect. You should know it, brother!"
After carefully examining the token, the middle-aged man's eyes became more joyful, and his attitude towards Ye Changsheng became more enthusiastic.
He laughed and said, "You are indeed a fellow Taoist from Miaoyin Sect. That's fine. However, it will take some time for us to transplant the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. Why don't you wait on the island for a few days?"
Hearing the invitation from the leader of the Yin Gui Sect, Ye Changsheng readily agreed, so he stayed in the Yin Gui Sect.
…
In a secret room of the Yin Gui Sect, the leader of the Yin Gui Sect lowered his head and said something to an extremely ugly man with an extremely respectful expression.
"Oh? So, Miaoyin Sect only sent a foundation-building manager to purchase the Tianlei Bamboo?" The ugly-looking man said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.
This person was none other than Wu Chou, who was killed by Ye Changsheng and fled.
"Yes, young master!" There was a slight tremor in the voice of the Yin Gui Sect leader. After hearing the dissatisfaction in Wu Chou's voice, his heart was immediately filled with fear.
Wu Chou's face was gloomy. He released his spiritual sense and searched inside the Yingui Gate. He immediately found the external manager of the Miaoyin Gate.
"He is indeed a foundation-building cultivator..."
"Forget it, go down!" Wu Chou waved his hands impatiently.
The leader of the Yin Gui Sect immediately retreated as if he had heard of amnesty.
"I originally thought that the leader of Miaoyin Sect would come in person, but I didn't expect that they only sent a foundation-building manager. This really disappoints this young master!" Wu Chou murmured in the secret room.
The reaction from Miaoyin Sect was different from what he expected.
In his opinion, for such an important thing as the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, the leader of the Miaoyin Sect should take action personally.
"How about making a request and telling the manager that if he wants the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, he should ask the clan leader to come in person?" Wu Chou said to himself.
But then he shook his head like a rattle: "No, that will alert the Miaoyin Sect!"
"Forget it, I'd better take the Tianlei Bamboo from the island and sell it to this Foundation Building Manager. After he leaves, I will kill him and lure out their Sect Master!"
Wu Chou's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he immediately turned into a black light and flew into the sea of fog.
In a guest room inside the Yin Gui Gate, after Ye Changsheng saw this scene with his spiritual consciousness, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
For Wu Chou, Miaoyinmen was a name that made him grit his teeth.
Because the enemy who almost killed him was the guest elder of Miaoyin Sect.
Although Miaoyin Sect seemed to have severed its relationship with that person in recent decades, this was not enough for Wu Chou to let go of his hatred for Miaoyin Sect.
At the same time, Wu Chou felt a little greedy towards Miaoyin Sect.
Because Fairy Zi Ling of Miaoyin Sect is said to be the most beautiful woman in Chaos Star Sea.
Although he had never witnessed it with his own eyes, Wu Chou firmly believed in the rumor.
He was a man who had a strong pursuit of beauty, and the dozens of concubines he had on Jiyin Island were proof of that.
How could he not be tempted by a famous beauty like Zi Ling?
Therefore, Wu Chou has always wanted to take Zi Ling into his room.
This time, when he heard that Miaoyin Sect was inquiring about the whereabouts of Tianlei Bamboo, he finally felt that the opportunity had come.
"After we kill that Foundation Building Manager and throw the dirty water on the Hidden Evil Sect, we should be able to at least fish out the Master of the Miaoyin Sect!"
"It would be best if we could capture the leader of Miaoyin Sect alive. I heard that she is also very beautiful!" Wu Chou thought so, with a hint of obscenity in his eyes.
Arriving at Jiyin Island, Wu Chou walked towards the direction where the Tianlei Bamboo was planted. After walking for a while, he saw a big man in a red shirt and purple face coming towards him.
"Fellow Daoist Chihuo!" Upon seeing this person, Wu Chou's expression became serious. Not daring to be careless, he immediately greeted him.
The burly man in the late Jindan stage in front of him was called the Red Fire Monster. He was one of the people in Chaos Star Sea who had the greatest hope of forming a baby.
This time, he was invited to Jiyin Island to discuss something related to this operation with the Jiyin ancestor.
"Haha, it turns out to be Young Master Wu . Young Master is in such a hurry, is there something happening?" The old monster Chihuo said with a laugh.
"It seems that fellow Taoist has reached an agreement with our ancestor?" Wu Chou did not answer him, but asked instead.
"Yes, I will take action when the time comes, as long as Miaoyin Sect invites me. After all, I am very interested in that girl Ziling!" The old monster Chihuo sneered twice and said.
Hearing his words, Wu Chou's expression suddenly changed, and he was shocked and angry.
If this old monster Chihuo was interested in Zi Ling, he might not be able to snatch her away.
Although he is the young master of Jiyin Island, the master of this old monster is more powerful. Whenever the old man Jiyin sees him, he always calls him "senior".
With a forced smile, Wu Chou said, "So you are interested in Miss Zi Ling, then if you can snatch her away, I can give her to you!"
"Hahaha, since Young Master Wu said so, then I won't be polite!" The old monster Chihuo chuckled twice.
"Young Master Wu hasn't answered my question just now!" The old monster Chihuo reminded with a smile.
Wu Chou rolled his eyes and said, "I just met someone from Miaoyin Sect who came to buy Tianlei Bamboo. I was just about to bring the Tianlei Bamboo over to sell to him!"
"Oh? Are you from Miaoyin Sect? In that case, I'll go with the young master to take a look!" said the old monster Chihuo immediately.
"Okay, then please follow me, brother!" Wu Chou said with a grin.
He walked into the Jiyin Island medicine garden and dug up a finger-thick, half-yellow, half-green bamboo growing in the center of the garden.
Although the bamboo looked sick, when it touched Wu Chou's hand, several lightning bolts immediately popped out.
Wu Chou immediately avoided the lightning as if he were avoiding a snake or scorpion, and carefully put the bamboo into a box made of jade.
After walking out of the medicine garden, Wu Chou said to the old monster Chihuo who was waiting on the side: "Brother Dao, please follow me!"
A moment later, two beams of light quickly left Jiyin Island and flew out of the Tongtian Fog Sea.
Ye Changsheng waited in the Yin Gui Gate for a day, and after a day he finally saw two beams of light flying from a distance and entering the Yin Gui Gate.
"Huh? One more person?"
Ye Changsheng's expression changed, and he immediately used his spiritual sense to investigate the extra person.
This is a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, a bit stronger than Wu Chou.
In the secret room of the Yin Gui Men, the leader of the Yin Gui Men met the old monster Wu Chou and Chi Huo.
"Go and sell the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo to that person, and don't tell anyone that Fellow Daoist Chihuo and I are here!" Wu Chou ordered coldly.
"Turns out it's the old monster Chihuo!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself as he monitored them with his spiritual sense.
"Also, remind him that it's not just the Miaoyin Sect that wants to buy the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. Someone might rob his goods along the way, so he'd better be fully prepared!"
"But don't alert this person. You have to decide for yourself how to strike the right balance here!" Wu Chou said coldly.
The leader of the Yin Gui Sect immediately agreed very respectfully, then took the jade box and walked towards Ye Changsheng's residence.
"Haha, after we use this man to lure out the people from Miaoyin Sect, the Purple Spirit can be given to you, brother!" Wu Chou said with a smile immediately after the leader of the Yin Gui Sect went out.
The old monster Chihuo narrowed his eyes, chuckled, and said, "I heard that Zi Ling's mother is also a peerless beauty!"
Hearing this, Wu Chou immediately became angry.
I've already given Zi Ling to you, and you still want to take advantage of her mother?
At this time, the old monster Chihuo said again: "Since Zi Ling belongs to me, how about giving her mother to Young Master Wu? Then I will personally help you capture her!"
After hearing Wu Feng's words, his anger immediately turned into joy. If this old ghost could take action, it would not be difficult to capture Zi Ling's mother!
He immediately said: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Dao... to seek death!"
Before Wu Chou could finish his words, his expression suddenly changed, and he let out an angry roar, then flew out of the secret room.
The old monster Chihuo's expression also changed, and he quickly flew out of the secret room.
After the two flew out, they immediately saw the body of the Yin Gui Sect leader lying on the ground in the distance, and the Tianlei Bamboo had been snatched away.
The person who stole the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo is now fleeing into the distance.
"It's the late Jindan stage. I'm afraid it's difficult for the two of us to catch up and capture him. Master Wu, we have to ask your ancestor to help!"
Looking at the flying figure, the old monster Chihuo narrowed his eyes and spoke immediately.
"Please ask Fellow Daoist Chihuo to go ahead and catch up with this man. Don't let him take away the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. I will notify our ancestor now!" Wu Chou said immediately, his face so gloomy that water could drip out.
