Chapter 216: Cooperation

Zi Changsheng merely gave a faint smile.

And Wang Yi glared at her husband.

This old geezer, could he be trying to sell his daughter for glory?

But after all, he is the proper Sect Master of Shu Mountain; does he need to do this?

She was filled with confusion.

After a lively chat, everyone went their separate ways.

Qin Yang had someone arrange lodging for Zi Yan, and she stayed at Place: Baiyun Guan.

Zi Yan had no objection to this arrangement; she was full of curiosity about Place: Baiyun Guan.

As for Wan Jian Cang, he also temporarily stayed there.

He was waiting for Qin Yang to finish his business, then would ask Qin Yang to return to treat his son.

A small island overseas.

A jade tablet shattered, causing everyone on the small island to change color.

"Ancestor Zheng Changzhong is dead."

A loud shout shook the entire sect.

Zheng Changzhong was a Great Vehicle powerhouse of their Yingzhou, who with difficulty absorbed the immortal spirit qi from an immortal artifact before attaining the Great Vehicle stage.

Yingzhou still hoped he would become a True Immortal in the mortal world, so that Yingzhou could enter the mainland and contend for a blessed land, no longer needing to guard the small island.

And a True Immortal can provide pure immortal spirit qi, allowing their sect members to all reach the Great Vehicle stage.

As long as they accumulate a bit more time, Yingzhou will become the hegemon of the cultivation world, no problem.

Now Zheng Changzhong is dead, and all hope is lost.

"Place: Baiyun Guan."

Throughout Yingzhou Island, all the disciples' hearts were filled with anger.

They chanted the name of Place: Baiyun Guan, wishing they could rush there and kill them right now.

Qin Yang was tantamount to cutting off their path of cultivation.

"Find out clearly who did it, and whether it was Baiyun Lao Dao."

The Sect Master of the Yingzhou lineage spoke.

At this moment, an elder stepped forward, his expression somewhat unsightly.

"It was that Qin Yang who made the move."

As soon as these words were spoken, all of Yingzhou fell silent.

Everyone wore a look of disbelief.

"Did Qin Yang do it?"

"How could that be?"

"How old is he, to be able to kill a Great Vehicle powerhouse?"

"Wasn't it said his strength was at most equivalent to Tribulation Crossing?"

Yingzhou lineage's Sect Master Zheng Haotian asked coldly.

That elder said bitterly: "Everyone guessed wrong; Qin Yang's strength is far greater than we imagined. Now we estimate he has mid Great Vehicle strength or close to it. Ordinary early Great Vehicle cultivators are no match for him, and we don't know if he has any other hidden cards."

"Has Baiyun Lao Dao not appeared?"

Zheng Haotian asked.

"No."

"It seems he has truly vanished into the Dao, but leaving such a disciple, it's no wonder he isn't worried; with such strength, few in the cultivation world could defeat him."

Zheng Haotian furrowed his brows.

"It is said Qin Yang has a cultivation method that does not require vanishing into the Dao."

The Yingzhou elder said.

Zheng Haotian's eyes flashed with sharp light.

"This cultivation technique, our Yingzhou must obtain it at all costs."

He looked excited, as if he had already secured Qin Yang.

The Yingzhou elder opened his mouth but could say nothing.

"Alright, all of you retreat; I need to think carefully about how to deal with that Qin Yang."

Zheng Haodao.

"Yes."

The Yingzhou elders all felt a jolt in their hearts.

"Could it be that the Sect Master is unwilling to let go, wanting to avenge Zheng Changzhong?"

"Only Zheng Haotian clearly knows in his heart that he has taken an interest in Qin Yang's cultivation technique."

"As for Zheng Changzhong, although he is his uncle, he has already been killed; there's no need to risk a clash with a powerhouse over a dead man, and Zheng Haotian is still clear on that."

"Is Sect Master Zheng seeking Qin Yang's cultivation technique?"

"Just then, a voice sounded, instantly causing Zheng Haotian's heart to jolt."

He abruptly lifted his head, seeing a person whose whole body was shrouded in a hazy aura, making their true appearance unclear.

Zheng Haotian was on guard; the fact that the person could appear silently beside his Man Qian showed they were undoubtedly a great master.

Thinking this, Zheng Haotian coldly said: "Who are you? How did you enter my Yingzhou?"

"Your Yingzhou formation is, to me, meaningless; if I wish to enter, nothing can naturally stop me."

The visitor spoke.

Zheng Haotian's expression was icy cold.

"I know you're strong, but if you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave my Yingzhou."

"You rely on that waste lurking in Yingzhou? If he dares to act, I don't mind sending him to complete liberation."

The newcomer gave a faint smile.

Zheng Haotian's expression turned horrified.

"How does the other side know this? The newcomer seemed to know their Yingzhou like the back of his hand."

"There is a powerful expert lurking in Yingzhou, but the exact situation is unclear even to the disciples inside the sect."

"Yet the other side could say it easily, which inevitably made Zheng Haotian feel deep apprehension."

"Who exactly are you?"

Zheng Haotian asked.

"You can call me the Hunter of Gods."

The newcomer spoke.

Zheng Haotian's face changed drastically; he stared at the other party and coldly said, "You are the God Lord."

"Truly clever."

The God Lord praised.

"Baiyun Daozhang has vanished into the Dao, so you dare appear, but aren't you afraid your identity will be exposed and you'll be hunted by the entire cultivation world?"

"The Lord of the God Hunters, that is, the God Lord."

"He is the common enemy of the cultivation world."

"The cultivators he has killed are too many to count."

"Even Baiyun Daozhang's pursuit failed to catch him; he escaped."

"His strength is unfathomable."

"Baiyun Daozhang is still alive; he hasn't vanished into the Dao nor become a wandering immortal, and we underestimated him."

The God Lord spoke.

Zheng Haotian shuddered.

"Then I dare not provoke Qin Yang even more; please leave."

The God Lord stared at Zheng Haotian and said in a deep voice, "If I tell you that Baiyun Daozhang is being hunted and won't live much longer, would you be willing to cooperate with me?"

"What are you saying? How could anyone possibly hunt Baiyun Daozhang?"

Zheng Haotian wore an expression of disbelief.

"There are immortals in heaven, but on earth, Baiyun Daozhang reigns supreme."

"On Lan Xing, Baiyun Daozhang is invincible."

"Even wandering immortals are unwilling to face him, dreading his strength."

"Yet now the God Lord says Baiyun Daozhang is being hunted."

Zheng Haotian did not believe it.

The God Lord remained silent.

Seeing his confident demeanor, Zheng Haotian's breathing grew somewhat heavy.

"Should we believe the God Lord or not?"

"If Baiyun Daozhang is truly being hunted,"

"even as the God Lord said, he won't live much longer."

"Now is the best time for them to act against Qin Yang."

"After killing Qin Yang, the cultivation technique will be yours; I swear on my Dao-heart."

The God Lord continued.

Zheng Haotian's heart stirred; he stared at the God Lord and asked, "How do we cooperate?"

"Just follow my commands; the first task is to help me return to Long Guo."

The God Lord gave a faint smile.

"With your strength, entering Long Guo silently would be undetectable by anyone."

Zheng Haotian furrowed his brows.

"A person can't, but a magical artifact can."

"What magical artifact?"

"The Jiuzhou Ding."

"The Dayu Ding?"

Zheng Haotian sucked in a breath of cold air.

"Not bad; as long as you are in Jiuzhou, collect the Jiuzhou Ding and bring it outside Long Guo, I can easily enter Long Guo, then I can help you kill Qin Yang and seize his cultivation technique."

The God Lord spoke.

"Alright, I agree."

Zheng Haotian's heart surged with tremendous waves.

He also wondered in his heart just who this person was.

"He actually has been targeted by the Jiuzhou Ding."

"But that's not something he needs to consider."

Zheng Haotian only wants Qin Yang's cultivation technique.

"Happy cooperation."

The God Lord chuckled lightly, then his figure faded away.

After he disappeared, Zheng Haotian shouted, "Someone come!"

"Sect Leader, please give your orders."

A disciple walked in.

"Let Elder Qian take the disciples and rush to Long Guo, spare no effort to find the Jiuzhou Cauldron; no matter what means are used, the Jiuzhou Cauldron must be brought back."

"Yes."

That disciple immediately said.

Although they did not know why the Sect Leader was seeking the Jiuzhou Cauldron.

But the Sect Leader's orders are not to be questioned.

And Zheng Haotian's heart was full of anticipation; he had already imagined that after obtaining Qin Yang's cultivation method, his cultivation would progress nonstop, ultimately reaching the position of the strongest person in the world.

By then, neither the God Lord nor Baiyun would be in his eyes.

And Yingzhou will also become the strongest sect on all of Lan Xing.
