Chapter 2316: Chapter 2316: Just in Case
E Si Saint went to Wuxia City, demanding Wuxia Immortal Venerable become his Daoist couple, which enraged Jing Yan, ultimately leading to E Si Saint’s death.
To Min Lan Immortal Venerable, the relationship between Jing Yan and Wuxia Immortal Venerable is surely not just ordinary friends; they might have already become a Daoist couple without announcing it.
Besides, if they were just ordinary friends, would Jing Yan allow Wuxia Immortal Venerable to learn and cultivate an Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique? A manual of the Virtualization Technique is worth over 700 billion Black Crystal Stones, and although a manual can be used for three to four cultivations, the average cost per cultivation far exceeds 100 billion Black Crystal Stones.
Therefore, as long as Wuxia Immortal Venerable is captured, Jing Yan would have no choice but to comply.
"The Slaughter God Hall captured Wuxia Immortal Venerable, imprisoning her. When Jing Yan returns from Nightmare City, as long as he has a Virtualization Technique Manual with him, he will obediently hand it over," Min Lan Immortal Venerable said with a sinister smile.
After listening to Min Lan Immortal Venerable’s explanation, Wan Lunhai’s brows did not immediately relax.
This plan indeed has a high success rate, but it is despicable. If the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect is to capture Wuxia Immortal Venerable, Wan Lunhai would never agree.
"It seems there is nothing in the Slaughter God Hall’s plan that requires the help of Heavenly Gate Dao Sect," Wan Lunhai said.
"Sect Master, the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect indeed doesn’t need to do anything. However, after the Slaughter God Hall captures Wuxia Immortal Venerable, Wu Guo Heavenly Lord might be slightly irritated. If Wu Guo Heavenly Lord makes any moves, the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect will need to step in. With Sect Master’s influence, giving Wu Guo Heavenly Lord a bit of pressure should suffice, as I believe Wu Guo Heavenly Lord would not cause a major upheaval over one Wuxia Immortal Venerable," Min Lan Immortal Venerable said with flickering eyes, looking at Wan Lunhai.
Wan Lunhai pondered.
From what Min Lan said about this plan, the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect truly doesn’t need to do anything.
If Wuxia Immortal Venerable is captured by the Slaughter God Hall and Wu Guo Heavenly Lord stands out, Wan Lunhai could visit Wu Guo Heavenly Lord to advise him not to interfere.
"If Jing Yan indeed has a third book of the Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique, and if Jing Yan really hands over the Virtualization Technique Manual, what benefit does the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect get?" Wan Lunhai was a little tempted.
The Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique is too tempting; even Wan Lunhai is moved. This thing, when cultivated by an Immortal Rhythm Peak Cultivator with exceptional talent, significantly increases the probability of breaking through to the Immortal Venerable Realm. How many billions of years has the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect existed? Yet, there are only a dozen or so cultivators within the sect who have reached the Immortal Venerable Realm.
The birth of a new Immortal Venerable is a major event that would shock the entire Heavenly Domain, similar to when Wuxia Immortal Venerable broke the realm shackles.
"Sect Master, I reckon that Jing Yan might have more than one Virtualization Technique Manual. Even if there’s only one, it would allow three or four Immortal Rhythm Cultivators to cultivate it. Sect Master can assign two Immortal Rhythm Cultivators to learn this technique," Min Lan Immortal Venerable said with a smile.
Before coming to see Wan Lunhai, he had already discussed everything with the Slaughter God Hall.
Wan Lunhai pondered again.
"What if we end up not obtaining the Virtualization Technique Manual? The Slaughter God Hall has enmity with Jing Yan, but the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect does not have any grievances with him." Wan Lunhai squinted his eyes.
"Rest assured, Sect Master. If the Slaughter God Hall fails to extract the Virtualization Technique Manual from Jing Yan, the Slaughter God Hall is willing to compensate the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect with 50 billion Black Crystal Stones," Min Lan Immortal Venerable said with a smile.
Wan Lunhai also laughed.
billion Black Crystal Stones is indeed a substantial amount, even for the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect.
"Min Lan, E Si of the Slaughter God Hall was killed by Jing Yan. Aren’t you afraid that Jing Yan will seek revenge on you?" Wan Lunhai’s tone shifted.
Upon hearing Wan Lunhai’s words, Min Lan Immortal Venerable’s face darkened, and a vicious glint flashed in his eyes.
He sneered and said, "Just a mere Immortal Rhythm Cultivator. If it weren’t for Wu Guo Heavenly Lord protecting him, I would have killed him a long time ago."
"Min Lan, you can go and report back to the Slaughter God Hall. Tell them that I, Wan Lunhai, have agreed to this matter," Wan Lunhai said, squinting his eyes.
"Alright, I will head to the Slaughter God Hall to report back. Sect Master, I shall take my leave," Min Lan Immortal Venerable stood up, cupped his hands towards Wan Lunhai seated there, and then quickly left the reception room.
Wan Lunhai, of course, did not see him off, not even standing up. To Wan Lunhai, Min Lan Immortal Venerable was just a junior.
After leaving the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect, Min Lan rushed to the Slaughter God Hall headquarters as quickly as possible. Although he could have communicated the matter to the First Saint of the Slaughter God Hall, in-person discussion was safer to avoid any unnecessary delays.
Faro Heaven, Mystic Moon Trading House headquarters, the dwelling of Elder Kuo Lian.
A figure entered from outside.
The person who entered was Elder Ming Hua from the Mystic Moon Trading House.
"Elder Kuo Lian, I recently received some news from Wuxia City," Elder Ming Hua said upon entering.
"Wuxia City? What’s the situation?" Elder Kuo Lian asked with a moving expression.
Wuxia City is one of the places currently regarded highly by the Mystic Moon Trading House.
Before Jing Yan left Faro Heaven for Nightmare City, he had asked Elder Kuo Lian and the Mystic Moon Trading House to help take care of Wuxia Immortal Venerable in Wuxia City. Elder Kuo Lian always kept this matter in mind.
The Mystic Moon Trading House even deployed some intelligence personnel to keep an eye on things in Wuxia City.
The primary focus of their precaution was the Slaughter God Hall.
"Around Wuxia City, the Sixth Saint of the Slaughter God Hall has appeared several times recently. I judge that this is no coincidence, and I’m afraid the Slaughter God Hall intends to act against Wuxia City," Elder Ming Hua said solemnly.
"Within Wuxia City, there’s only Wuxia Immortal Venerable, an Immortal Venerable Realm cultivator. Although the city is protected by a formation, if the Slaughter God Hall dispatches a force strong enough, they can break through Wuxia City’s defenses in a short time," Elder Ming Hua continued, "Even if Yuantong Immortal Venerable can timely support Wuxia City, I fear he might be too stretched."
"Jing Yan entrusted me to ensure the safety of Wuxia Immortal Venerable. If something happens to Wuxia Immortal Venerable, I won’t be able to face Jing Yan when he returns," Kuo Lian said.
"Indeed! Jing Yan is still an Immortal Rhythm Cultivator now, but he managed to kill E Si. If he ascends to the Immortal Venerable Realm, his power will..." Elder Ming Hua looked at Kuo Lian.
"In that case, to be safe, Elder Ming Hua, you and Elder Yu Hui can make a trip to Wuxia City, invite Wuxia Immortal Venerable to stay at the Mystic Moon Trading House for a while until Fellow Daoist Jing Yan returns," Elder Kuo Lian suggested after some thought.
If Wuxia Immortal Venerable reaches the Mystic Moon Trading House headquarters, even if the Slaughter God Hall is unwilling, there’s nothing they can do. Even war with the Slaughter God Hall wouldn’t intimidate the Mystic Moon Trading House.
"Hmm, that’s a safer approach. Alright, I’ll head to Wuxia City with Elder Yu Hui now," Elder Ming Hua nodded, then left the room.
