Meanwhile, Bai Lan, who was in the Azure Sect, was also calculating the tough nuts to crack in the Demonic Palace.
" The Blood Vine Pavilion's Old Demon Guteng is He Gui's confidant, with a cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage. We must eliminate this person first to prevent him from hindering Gongsun Lian's great cause of unifying the Demonic Palace in the future," Bai Lan said in a deep voice.
The system looked through the compiled information on the Demonic Path and nodded in agreement. "This person is skilled in array formations. If any of the Devil Cultivator in the Blood Vine Pavilion know what's good for them, the host might as well let them go and invite them to the Void Stone for a chat."
"That's very true." Bai Lan nodded in agreement, then looked at True Lord Hong Xiao: "Those former Yunyang disciples of the Joyous Union Sect are not doing well in the Demonic Path. Without the protection of the Nascent Soul cultivators, the Joyous Union Sect cultivators have become the furnaces for the Blood Fiend Sect cultivators of the Demonic Path path, and are enslaved. Go and rescue them, and recruit them to Joyous Union Peak. The Spirit Taming Sect is in dire need of manpower right now."
True Lord Hong Xiao felt a mix of the Joyous Union Sect. It seemed that the Hehuan Sect had been on a downward spiral ever since it began to succumb to the demonic Demonic Path, and all of this was because Ancestor Yunyang had fallen in love with a woman named Bai Ling.
Patting Hong Xiao on the shoulder, Bai Lan circled another point on the map. "These are the two cave abode of your Joyous Union Sect Sect's Ancestor Yunyang and Ancestor Miaoyun. Yunyang has already perished, and Senior Miaoyunzi should retrieve his belongings as soon as possible, lest they be taken by passing cultivators."
"Yes, Sect Leader!" Hong Xiao accepted the order.
" True Lord Xu, you should take a Longevity Pill Spirit Taming Sect the Jin Family in Cangyuan City in the name of the Yuling Sect and deliver it to the Jin Family head. The Jin Family head is nearing the end of his life and will surely perish within the next few months. Your delivery of the Longevity Pill at this time is like sending charcoal in snowy weather." Bai Lan looked at Master True Lord Xu beside her.
Having spent her entire life Devil Cultivator, True Lord Xu's eye twitched. She was used to snatching pills from people, and this was the first time she had ever given pills away as a gift, so she was quite unaccustomed to it.
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
"Oh, by the way, I hid a Heart Devouring Gu inside the pill. Although it's highly unlikely to be discovered, you still need to be careful. If it is discovered, immediately send me a telepathic message." Bai Lan added with a smile.
True Lord Xu retracted his previous evaluation of the good deed.
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
She started to get excited; it was precisely this kind of sneaky, malicious behavior that suited her identity Demonic Cultivator!
Among the Lineage of the Mist Cloud Continent, Jin Yao of the Jin Family is Long Aotian Aotian's fortuitous opportunity, Le Qing of the Le Family family is Bai Ling Ling's fortuitous opportunity, Ling Shizu the Ling Family is cannon fodder villain, and the Qiu family is just a bystander and poses no threat to her. Therefore, these two families are not within Bai Lan Lan's cannon range.
Now that the Heart Devouring Gu- Eating Gu and the Longevity Pill have been delivered, the Jin Family is completely free of any changes. There's no need to worry that Jin Yao will one day fall in love with Long Aotian again. As for the Le Family...
Le Qing hasn't even broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage yet; he's still imprisoned in the Demonic Palace dungeon, contributing to He Gui and Bai Ling Ling's love play.
Even so, we can't gamble. We'd rather take it all than let it go. Since the Le Family will become Bai Ling Ling's resource, we must take them over.
"After the Jin Family's business is finished, you will lead a team of the Spirit Taming Sect disciples and three thousand puppet refiners, disguised as Devil Cultivator, to surround Jingshui City." Bai Lan circled another point on the map.
"Huh?" True Lord Xu's eyes widened. " The Le Family is one of the Lineage of the Mist Cloud Continent. What if there's a Nascent Soul cultivator among them..."
"Don't panic. Jingshui City is indeed the territory of the Le Family, but the Le Family patriarch is currently traveling in the Boundless Sea Region and will not be back for half a month. The highest cultivation level of the Le Family is only Core Formation. As long as we deal with the Core Formation cultivator with high cultivation, the rest of the clansmen will be no problem."
The Le Family's official explanation to outsiders was that their ancestor, the Old Ancestor, was in seclusion within the clan. How could she know that he had gone on a journey?
At this point, True Lord Xu understood that Bai Lan had no say in whether the righteous or the Demonic Path path would win in this great battle between good and evil.
She didn't care about any of that. All she cared about was that the righteous path would never die and the Demonic Path would never perish, so that she could profit from it and strengthen the Spirit Taming Sect.
That makes sense. The war Daoist Cultivator and Demonic Cultivator wasn't about eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path, but rather about Cultivation Resources.
Therefore, none of those high-level cultivators would participate in the battles between lower-level cultivators. They were either in seclusion or traveling around to gain experience, rarely seen.
For these powerful beings, the power struggles and resource competition among lower-level cultivators are no longer relevant to them. After reaching the final bottleneck in their cultivation, their only goal is to seek a method for ascension.
That's why many of Bai Lan's actions puzzled True Lord Xu.
Logically speaking, the abundant resources within the Void Stone should be enough for her to cultivate to the Nascent Soul or even the Spirit Transformation realm. Why then is she so obsessed with developing and expanding the Spirit Taming Sect?
"When you're in danger, you can use disguise techniques to pretend to be one of He Gui's trusted subordinates. If anyone is unwilling to hand over their soul, you can pretend to let them escape. There's no need to go to the trouble of killing them all and just shift the blame onto He Gui," Bai Lan added, looking up.
He's treacherous!
"Yes!" Master True Lord Xu replied.
The Blood Bead bead in Bai Lan's hand was as powerful as a full-force attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator. After using it once, he only needed to have someone lead him through the Hundred Thousand Mountains to kill Demon Beast for a month to replenish his Qi and Blood and qi, and he could use it again.
Although the mission was quite dangerous, since the sect leader had given her such a powerful treasure, True Lord Xu naturally wouldn't refuse.
Bai Lan smiled, then took out the Soul-Binding Sound Transmission Talisman.
"How is the physical body being sculpted? I've calculated that the next day should be the day you emerge from seclusion."
Having just reconstructed his physical body, the Soul-Binding One, who had happily emerged from his cave abode and stretched, froze. "Haha, Sect Leader, how did you know? Haha."
"It seems I'm right. Hidden Nether Sect, Blood Smoke Cult, Fire Spirit Valley ..." Bai Lan listed more than a dozen small sects and forces within the Demonic Palace's sphere of influence. "The highest cultivation level among these Demon Palace forces is only at the Nascent Soul Binding Valley.
After a moment's thought, Fuhun realized that since there were no opponents at the Nascent Soul level, it wouldn't be difficult, so he agreed.
Soul Binding Valley had lost a group of elite disciples to Bai Lan, and was short of manpower at the moment. They, the Demon Clan, often did this kind of thing, where the big fish eat the small fish. Rather than saying that the task assigned by Bai Lan was easy for him, Bound Soul Valley did not feel any pressure at all.
Just as Bai Lan and the others were secretly plotting to seize the fortuitous opportunity, Xue'er's voice suddenly came from outside the Void Stone.
"Master! This disciple has discovered a disciple with exceptional sword talent in the outer sect. He says he wishes to see you!"
Jian Yu has extremely high talent, yet he still wants to see her? Bai Lan raised an eyebrow, flashed out of the Void Stone, pushed open the door in front of her, and her gaze fell on the child standing next to Xue'er.
"Master, this is the person. He is the one who practices the sword techniques of the outer sect and the portrait that Master gave me!" Xue'er pointed to the little boy beside her and looked at Bai Lan.
The child looked to be no more than seven years old, and was extremely cute.
The only thing missing was the childlike innocence in his eyes; instead, they were filled with coldness. He looked much older than his age, appearing quite mature.
When those cold eyes saw Bai Lan, they revealed a hint of disappointment.
"She's not the person I'm looking for." With that, the child turned away, his tone icy cold.
Fine, fine, but he still insists on standing with his hands behind his back, as if afraid that others won't recognize him as someone who isn't a child. His expression remains as expressionless as ever.
Just a few days ago, in order to deceive True Lord Jin Heng, Bai Lan had pulled up her old save file and watched True Person Qing Xuan's behavior countless times. As a result, Bai Lan confirmed the child's identity almost immediately upon seeing him: True Person Qing Xuan, Bai Ling's long-dead legitimate harem member.
Xue'er was taken aback by the little boy's attitude and scratched her head in confusion. "Huh? Didn't you come here to become an apprentice? Is this it?"
The child remained silent, taking even larger strides, his expression showing no respect whatsoever for a Qi Refining stage cultivator towards a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
