Chapter 123: Muddy the Waters
As soon as Cao Gongze's words fell, the trees behind him suddenly sounded in a tumultuous manner. I saw that in the woods, the Chongxiao Spirit Crane flew out proudly, flapped its wings, and formed dozens of wind blades when it landed, and shot towards Cao Gongze with his head and face.
Cao Gongze was suddenly attacked, and he was not surprised but rejoiced: "The old man just lacks a flying car, so this crane will stay!" ”
With a backhand swing, a wall of wind immediately formed behind it. Those fierce wind blades, after shooting into the wind wall, immediately fell into the sea like mud cows, silent.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Gongze was about to swing his feather fan and use the wind binding technique to capture the Chongxiao Spirit Crane, but he didn't know that his divine sense suddenly sensed an emerald green light shining around Qin Chuan's body. His face changed, and he secretly exclaimed: "Not good! Intermediate Talismans! ”
Hurriedly gave up grabbing and rushed to the Xiao Spirit Crane, the feather fan hurriedly pointed at Qin Chuan, and the spiritual power surged away.
It's a pity that it's too late. After seeing a flash of green light, Qin Chuan's whole person disappeared out of thin air.
At the same time, the Spirit Crane also shook its wings and instantly disappeared into the sky.
Cao Gongze stayed where he was, so angry that he stomped his feet again and again. He was greedy for a while, and wanted to capture the flying spirit beast alive, so he relaxed his surveillance of Qin Chuan, but he didn't expect to be escaped by the other party with the help of the intermediate talisman "Wood Escape Talisman".
The power of the intermediate rune is far from being comparable to the primary rune, and the value is naturally extremely high. In particular, this kind of wooden escape charm that works extremely quickly and can escape from a very long distance in an instant, is extremely precious. Even with the strength of Feiyun Gate, the intermediate runes only have two.
Cao Gongze couldn't have imagined that a mere seventh-layer monk could actually have an intermediate talisman. Even if the cultivation is much higher than the other party, under the distraction, there is no way to stop it.
On the other side, Qin Chuan relied on the divine effect of the intermediate-level wooden escape talisman and flew out hundreds of zhang in one go, until he got rid of the maximum effective distance of the spell, then he stopped his body, and secretly called luck in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that he felt that the strength of the seventh layer of the Qi cultivation period was still too low, and he spent a lot of money to buy two intermediate-level talismans from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion of the Ouyang family to save his life, it would be difficult to escape from Cao Gongze's Feng Xuan fan no matter what.
It seems that at the stage of low strength, you have to collect more treasures to protect yourself and save your life. In addition to completing the task, we must find a way to obtain as many treasures as possible in the cave and enhance our ability to protect ourselves.
It's just that Fang Cai's accident has made it more difficult for Yuhuamen to explore the Nine Songs Huilong Cave. Although he escaped from Cao Gongze's men today, he must have been on guard around the cave immediately. With the current strength of the Feather Gate, it is difficult to enter the cave under the protection of the Feiyun Gate.
What should I do? Qin Chuan's brows furrowed, greatly distressed.
I thought that with detailed drawings in hand, as long as I was careful enough, it should not be difficult to complete the task. Who knows, but it will add such variables!
The main quest has a 30-day deadline, and you can't afford to wait. You have to find a way to do it quickly.
At present, Qin Chuan's advantage is that he has enough knowledge of the interior of the Jiuqu Huilong Cave. If the other party can be trusted, then it is not impossible for the two to jointly explore the cave. But looking at Cao Gongze's attitude towards himself, Qin Chuan couldn't trust him at all.
If you come to negotiate with Feiyunmen to explore the cave together, the other party will eat black out of ten; If you don't negotiate, it is a fantasy for Yuhuamen to want five people to enter the cave.
The dilemma in front of us seems to be an unsolvable dead end. However, Qin Chuan has never given up easily, and after thinking about it for half a quarter, he suddenly gritted his teeth and made up his mind - since it is impossible to quietly enter the cave to retrieve the treasure, then ask for his surname to come to a ruined kettle and sink the boat, and publicize the secret of Jiuqu back to the Dragon Cave known to the world!
The ancestors of the cave mansion, the treasures are all over the place, just ask which sect will not be tempted after hearing it!
Yes, the strength of the Feiyun Gate is indeed far beyond that of the Feather Gate at this time. However, in the southwest area of the Kunxu Mountain Range, Feiyunmen has not yet reached the point of being the king. Not to mention the two super sects of the Xiantian Sect and the Changhe Sword Sect, the Tianlan Sect, the Splendid Sect, and the Kunshan Sect also have the ability to fight against the Feiyun Sect.
If the secret of Jiuqu Huilongdong is revealed to them, they will inevitably come to get a piece of the pie. When the time comes, many sects will gather in the Nine Songs to return to the Dragon Cave, entangled and restrained each other, and the situation will inevitably become extremely chaotic. If Feiyunmen wants to monopolize the cave mansion, it is naturally no longer possible.
In this way, the Feather Gate can rely on its understanding of the situation in the cave to fish in troubled waters!
It has to be said that there is a great deal of risk in doing so. But it is the only option at the moment.
The duration of the mission is only thirty days, and since you have made up your mind, it is not too late. Qin Chuan sorted out his thoughts, established an optimal plan of action, and then drove the Spirit Crane into the sky, sweeping all the way through the wind and clouds.
However, this time, Qin Chuan did not return to Yuhuamen, but went straight to a friendly sect that had been formed over the past year, the Kunshan faction.
The Kunshan faction is located in the south of the Yuhua Sect and is a major sect whose strength is not weaker than that of the Feiyun Sect.
After the Yuhua Sect officially started alchemy, the elixir was insufficient, and Qin Chuan personally visited the various sects around him that had elixir valleys and negotiated with them about exchanging elixir for elixir.
Since the Yuhua Sect only has Qin Chuan, an upper-level master in the Qi cultivation period, compared to those sects, the strength is still low. Therefore, all major sects inevitably despise the Feather Gate, and the conditions offered are very harsh.
Among all the sects, only Ding Hang, the head of the Kunshan faction, was kind and reached an agreement with the Yuhua Sect on reasonable terms. Qin Chuan admired him a lot, and often walked around each other, and the two sects had formed a good friendship.
Now that it has been decided to publicize the secret of Jiuqu Huilongdong, it is natural to start with the Kunshan faction.
After galloping towards the Xiaoling Crane, Qin Chuan soon came to the foot of Kunshan.
"Whoever comes, report your name!" When Qin Chuan dropped the spirit beast and walked over, the mountain-guarding disciples of the Kunshan Sect immediately discovered him.
"Qin Chuan, the head of the Yuhua Sect, has something important to ask to see the head of your faction!" Qin Chuan said.
"It turned out that the head of the Yuhua Sect had arrived, and the disciple would go up the mountain to report it!" The disciple guarding the mountain bowed and immediately reported it.
After a while, there were inner disciples from Kunshan on the mountain who came down and welcomed Qin Chuan up the mountain.
Ding Hang, the head of the Kunshan faction, was in the main hall at this time, and after Qin Chuan met him, he first exchanged a few words of greeting, and then went straight to the topic: "Brother Ding, the younger brother has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. ”
"Oh? I don't know what Brother Qin is about? Ding Hang stretched out his hand and stroked the three strands of long hair on his chest and asked.
Qin Chuan said: "Today, the younger brother is collecting elixir and entering a cliff. At the bottom of the cliff, I accidentally discovered a mysterious cave. After exploring the cave, I found that there were many exotic treasures in the cave, such as elixirs, flying sword cheats, etc.! It's a pity that the exotic treasures are guarded by powerful demon beasts and can't be obtained. I was about to come back and tell Brother Ding to find a way to explore the cave and retrieve the treasure together. How do you know, but you were intercepted by the disciples of Feiyun Gate. It turned out that Feiyunmen had also discovered the existence of the cave and wanted to swallow the treasure in it alone. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, they even forcibly detained me. Fortunately, the younger brother saw the opportunity quickly and fled. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will already become a prisoner of Feiyun Gate at this time! ”
After hearing this, Ding Hang frowned and said, "Feiyunmen's actions are inevitably too domineering. The ancestors' cave mansion is not their private property, and those who should see it have a share. In order to monopolize the treasure, it is really unreasonable to bully others. ”
Qin Chuan sighed and said, "It's a pity that the strength of the Feather Gate is not good, and it can't compete with the Feiyun Gate. However, if Brother Ding also wants to explore the cave mansion, our Yuhuamen is willing to accompany him and help the Kunshan faction. ”
The mysterious cave mansion, with many treasures, Ding Hang naturally couldn't be unmoved. After thinking about it for a while, he said with some hesitation: "Since Feiyunmen intends to monopolize the cave mansion, then if we go again, we will inevitably clash with him head-on." This matter is very important, and if one is not good, I am afraid that it will be a disaster of annihilation, and it must be properly considered. ”
Qin Chuan took the opportunity to say: "Little brother has a way. It is better to spread the news so that other sects can also know about it. When the time comes, everyone will go to explore the cave together, and even if Feiyunmen is unwilling, they will not dare to fight against many sects with the strength of one faction. In this way, there is a chance to get a piece of the pie without taking too much risk. What does Big Brother think? ”
Ding Hang clapped his hands and smiled after hearing this: "Brother Qin's idea is really wonderful!" It's better to get a piece of the pie safely than to work hard! Without further ado, let's get the word out right away! ”
Three days later. The main hall of the Feiyun Gate sect.
Cao Gongze's expression was gloomy, and after reading several letters in front of him one by one, he was furious, and with a "bang", he smashed the tea bowl in his hand on the ground.
"If the old man knows the identity of that bastard, he will be torn into pieces!"
"Boss, I don't know what happened to make the boss so angry?" Seeing this, Flying Cloud Sect Elder Meng Yang, who was sitting on the side, asked.
Cao Gongze threw all the letters to Meng Yang, and said angrily: "You can see for yourself." ”
Meng Yang opened the letters one by one, and after reading them, he couldn't help but be stunned: "The secret of the Jiuqu Huilong Cave has been strictly sealed, how come so many sects have received the news in just a few days?" ”
It turned out that these letters were all sent by various gates to inquire about Jiuqu's return to the Dragon Cave.
Qin Chuan escaped from under his own hands, of course Cao Gongze would not take the initiative to say such a humiliating thing, but just snorted coldly and said: "This still needs to be asked, of course someone deliberately leaked the secret!" Sooner or later, the old man will have to pull that man out and dismantle him! ”
Meng Yang wanted to ask again, but Cao Gongze waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, don't say anything else." What is needed now is to think about how to deal with it! ”
Meng Yang frowned and said, "With so many sects knowing about the existence of the Jiuqu Huilong Cave, it is impossible for this sect to swallow it alone. Otherwise, it will provoke public wrath. For today's plan, it is better to put on a bold posture and take the initiative to invite all major sects to gather in Feiyunmen, and everyone will go into the cave to explore the treasure together. ”
Cao Gongze let out a long sigh and said, "The matter has come to this point, and it can only be like this." I'll leave this to you. ”
According to the descriptions of the three disciples who entered the cave to explore, the treasures in the cave were immeasurable. Feiyun Sect could have been completely monopolized, but it was deliberately leaked and had to be reluctantly distributed to other sects. The frustration and pain in Cao Gongze's heart are difficult to describe in words.
In addition to the heartache, he hated Qin Chuan even more. If you see that kid again, you will let him taste the pain of the yin wind and erosion of the body!
