"Ho? Are you secretly investigating the military situation?"
Wang Tiezhu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard these words.
"I have to tell Senior Brother about this situation tomorrow and ask him to pay attention..."
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Sang Quan calling another disciple.
"Sun Wu, I asked you to approach the disciples on duty at the Litian Sword Sect's protective formation. How did you do?"
A disciple of Fu Huashan came out and said: "To tell you what the master said, the Litian Sword Sect is heavily guarded. I tried many methods but could not get close to the sect-protecting formation, so..."
Before he finished speaking, Sang Quan was heard scolding angrily.
"You idiot! Did the Litian Sword Sect only send one team to patrol the formation? Why do you have to go find the disciples who are patrolling? You can find someone who can replace you on duty!"
Sang Quan had a look of hatred on his face, and thought to himself: How could I let such a stupid disciple do something?
Sun Wu didn't dare to raise his head when he was being scolded, but kept nodding in agreement, which showed Sang Quan's usual majesty.
"Oh! That's all! You can search again tomorrow and bring a few more disciples with you. If you still don't get anything, I'll just ask you!"
Sun Wu had a bitter look on his face and had no choice but to comply and retreat among his disciples.
Sang Quan glanced at everyone with a straight face and said coldly.
"This plan is related to the rise of our three southern sects! You'd better work hard for me! If something goes wrong because of someone! Don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between master and disciple!"
After that, his tone changed and he continued.
"Of course, if any of you perform outstandingly and make a significant contribution to our capture of the Sword Lotus Mountain Range, then I will never be stingy! No matter what reward you want, I will try my best to satisfy you!
I can give you spiritual herbs, exercises, spells, elixirs, or true disciples of the sect! So, give me some snacks, do you understand?!"
After hearing this, all the disciples looked happy. It was obvious that what Sang Quan said was very tempting to them, and they immediately returned with excitement.
"clear!"
Looking at this group of disciples who were treated like chickens, Wang Tiezhu thought to himself.
"Based on the current situation of the sect, it is probably impossible for them to achieve their goal, but if they fail to do what Sang Quan said, those two big fish may not take the bait.
So, do I have to help them? So that they can send the message to the other two sects as soon as possible. This will be fun..."
After thinking about this, he followed the disciples and left the room. Just as he was about to walk out of Litian Courtyard, he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him.
"Renyi, it's so late, where are you going?"
Wang Tiezhu turned around and saw that it was Lu Renyi's elder brother, Lu Renjia.
"Oh! Brother, although the sect leader promised me to leave Wu Sili to me, I still don't feel very good, so I thought of taking a walk to relax..."
Lu Renjia nodded slightly and sighed: "Oh, I didn't expect such a change to happen in this competition... But Renyi, don't worry too much, you were not in the room before.
According to the sect leader, in order to catch them by surprise, Sect Master Xiao and Palace Master Zhao had arrived in Beiluoji Prefecture in advance and were now ambushing them around the Sword Lotus Mountain Range.
Once we master the starting method of protecting the sect, they will start immediately, so tonight the sect leader will ask us to complete our respective tasks as soon as possible..."
Wang Tiezhu was slightly startled when he heard this. Those thieves have already arrived?
This was beyond his and Zhou Huaying's expectations! If Lu Renjia hadn't taken the initiative to say it, he might have been kept in the dark!
"Tsk, tsk, since they are already here, why don't you find an opportunity to harass them?"
After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. If he alerted the snake, they noticed something and ran away, it would be difficult...
"Benevolence and righteousness? Benevolence and righteousness?"
Wang Tiezhu's thinking was suddenly interrupted by Lu Renjia.
"Ah, what's wrong, brother?"
Lu Renjia frowned and looked at him, "What were you thinking about just now? Why didn't you answer when I called you several times?"
"Alas! Brother, ever since I lost to that kid, my mind has often gone blank. I don't know what's going on..."
After hearing this, the suspicion on Lu Renjia's face disappeared and was replaced by a deep sadness.
"My poor brother! This is a sign that your Taoist mind is unstable! It will be very dangerous if this continues. If you are not careful, your cultivation will go wrong and lead to obsession!
You must bear it! In a few days we will take down the Litian Sword Sect, and if you kill Wu Sili, everything will be fine!"
Wang Tiezhu smiled secretly in his heart.
"And take down the Sword Sect? And kill Wu Sili? Who will die then?"
He was originally planning to tell his senior brother personally the information he gained tonight.
But now Lu Renjia has been staring at him closely, making it impossible for him to step out of the Litian Villa. He had to return to his residence with Lu Renjia obediently, waiting for the opportunity to use the Jade Talisman to inform his senior brother.
…
The moon and stars are sparse, and the magpies fly south.
It was already midnight.
In the Sweeping Sky Sword Hall, the lights in Zhou Huaying's room were still on.
He was sitting on a chair, surrounded by several large boxes and a ledger at his hand.
At this moment, he was muttering something slightly while writing something in his account book.
"Well, today I got a thousand high-grade spiritual crystals from the mourning dog, totaling ten incense, which is really good. Doesn't the money I spent on the demon pills and spiritual mines before come back?
Apart from these, plus those needed to repair the martial arts stage, there are still 912 high-grade spiritual crystals, hahahaha! These thousand high-grade spiritual crystals are probably all Sang Quan’s possessions!
He did it very neatly, maybe he still thinks that when the sword sect is defeated, these spiritual crystals will still be his, right? Haha, people are not easy to play, but they are quite beautiful!"
While he was muttering to himself, a palm-sized jade talisman placed next to his hand suddenly flashed.
"Huh? Why did junior brother send me a message in the middle of the night?"
With a slight movement of thought, a flash of light floated out from the jade talisman, and then stayed in the sky above the jade talisman, slowly converging into a sentence.
"Senior Brother, I pretended to be Lu Renyi and learned that Fu Huashan was investigating the sect's defense strength and was trying to find a way to contact the disciples who could control the sect's protective formation.
In addition, I also received news that the Jiugu Sword Gate and Ningxiao Palace have arrived in the north and are lurking near the Sword Lotus Mountains, preparing to defeat us when we are unprepared and waiting for a reply."
After reading this line of writing, Zhou Huaying's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Haha, do you want to stay in the Sword Sect for a few days just for this? It's just that the early arrival of the Nine Ancient Sword Sect and Ningxiao Palace surprised me...
But it doesn’t matter, since you want to know how to activate the sect-protecting formation, then I will fulfill your wish..."
