Chapter 497: Hey, the array is broken?

Following Yu Bo’s instructions, Yin Xiaoshan used the secret technique to contact his grandfather.

After some personal communication, Yu Bo and Yin Lishan quickly reached a consensus.

Leaving Qi Xiong and the others, Yin Xiaoshan contacted Yin Lishan once more.

"Old man, you really made a smart decision."

"What is it?"

"I didn't dare say it just now, but the Dao One Sect is truly cunning. They have been hiding their strength."

"What hidden strength?"

"Does the old man remember Jiang Shan and the others?"

"Jiang Shan? Didn't those two die?"

"They aren't dead. I just heard with my own ears that Jiang Shan and the others have already secretly defected to the Dao One Sect."

"What did you say? Is it true?"

"Absolutely true, old man. Could I be wrong about what I heard with my own ears?"

"Good, I understand."

On the surface, Yin Xiaoshan seemed to have no sense of propriety and was a king of flattery.

But if you really thought that, you would be greatly mistaken.

If Yin Xiaoshan were truly a good-for-nothing, he wouldn't have become a ghost king, nor would he have been favored by Yin Lishan.

Learning from Yin Xiaoshan that Jiang Shan and Peng Yun were not dead and had secretly joined the Dao One Sect,

Yin Lishan felt fortunate while also firming up his idea of defecting to the Dao One Sect.

There was no other way. Even if he, Yin Lishan, didn't defect, given the strength of the Dao One Sect, they would likely suffer a great loss.

They had five Great Saints, and all were at the Great Saint perfection cultivation, while the Imperial Extreme Sect’s two ancestors—one was at Great Saint perfection, and one was only at the Great Saint stage completion.

The outcome was almost beyond doubt.

On the other side, after Yin Xiaoshan left, Qi Xiong and the others also smiled at each other.

The matter about Jiang Shan just now was something Yu Bo had intentionally let Yin Xiaoshan hear, with the purpose of giving Yin Lishan an even more irresistible reason.

Without a chance of winning, if you still go along with the Imperial Extreme Sect, that is equivalent to seeking death.

And as long as he had a brain, Yin Lishan should know how to choose.

What’s more, defecting to the Dao One Sect was far better than cooperating with the Imperial Extreme Sect.

What the Imperial Extreme Sect could give, the Dao One Sect could also give, and what the Dao One Sect could give, the Imperial Extreme Sect might not be able to afford.

"This kid is very slippery."

Yu Bo chuckled. He was naturally talking about Yin Xiaoshan, who looked heartless and mindless, yet when he heard the two words "Jiang Shan" just now, he was able to remain completely calm.

To this, Qi Xiong laughed.

"He has some small cleverness, but ginger is still spicier when it's old."

Yin Xiaoshan’s little bit of cleverness, in the eyes of old guys like Yu Bo and Qi Xiong, was nothing at all.

He had already been firmly manipulated.

Not knowing that Yin Lishan and the ghost kings had all defected to the Dao One Sect, Ji Wushuang was busy making arrangements.

According to the plan, his two ancestors would cooperate with Ghost Valley to deal with Qi Xiong and the others.

And the Imperial Extreme Sect would be responsible for the disciples of the four peaks outside Ghost Valley and preventing the Dao One Sect’s reinforcements.

Those four-peak disciples were not to be feared; without Saints like Qi Xiong and the others, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with them.

And as for preventing the Dao One Sect’s reinforcements, Ji Wushuang received another piece of good news that day.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Absolutely true."

"Haha, good. Heaven helps me, truly heaven helps me."

Just a moment ago, Ji Wushuang learned that the array at the Near-Sea Camp had been torn open by the Water Clan.

In this way, the pressure on the Near-Sea Camp would instantly increase several times over, and the Dao One Sect would absolutely not sit idly by.

And with the pressure on the Near-Sea Camp increasing, it wouldn't be so easy for the Dao One Sect to support Ghost Valley.

For Ji Wushuang, this looked like good news no matter how he viewed it.

Just at this time, Su Luoxing also contacted Ji Wushuang, asking about the Near-Sea Camp the moment he opened his mouth.

"You know about the Near-Sea Camp?"

"Mm, just received the news."

Hearing this, Ji Wushuang said with a smile. Across the array light screen, the two of them smiled extremely sinisterly.

"In this way, your pressure will be much smaller."

Su Luoxing laughed. Hearing this, Ji Wushuang also replied.

"But I still need the help of your Luoxia Sect."

"Rest assured, as long as the Dao One Sect has reinforcements, I will naturally cooperate with you from the side."

To be safe, Ji Wushuang specifically invited Su Luoxing to assist from the side, all to ensure there would be no mistakes.

Now that Su Luoxing nodded, Ji Wushuang had no more worries in his heart.

In his view, this time even Heaven was standing on the side of his Imperial Extreme Sect; even if the Dao One Sect had heaven-defying abilities, they couldn't resolve this crisis.

He felt as if he had already seen the moment of success.

Hanging up the array, Ji Wushuang laughed out loud. Once Qi Xiong and the others were dealt with, the threat of the Dao One Sect would be much smaller, at least there wouldn't be a situation where one family dominated.

And with the Qingyun Sect already destroyed, as long as he got rid of the Luoxia Sect, his Imperial Extreme Sect would become the hegemon of Dongzhou.

Thinking of this, Ji Wushuang couldn't help but feel excited.

"Order people to prepare. Once the ancestors make their move, we will also immediately crush those four-peak disciples of the Dao One Sect."

"Yes."

He immediately gave the order, and the many experts and disciples of the Imperial Extreme Sect headed to ambush outside Ghost Valley, waiting only for the battle inside Ghost Valley to start, and they would immediately make their move.

While Ji Wushuang was preparing, Qi Xiong naturally wasn't idle either.

However, he remained calm, wanting to play a game of "letting the enemy enter the trap."

Just as Qi Xiong was making arrangements, Jiang Shan, Peng Yun, and Chen Ren arrived.

Seeing Chen Ren, Qi Xiong was stunned.

"Fourth Junior Brother, why are you here?"

"Senior Brother, something terrible has happened. Something has gone wrong at the Near-Sea Camp."

The moment Chen Ren saw Qi Xiong, he hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Hong Zun, Qing Shi, and Zhang Tianzhen, who were nearby, also gathered around, asking curiously.

"Something went wrong at the Near-Sea Camp? What happened?"

Everyone was very familiar with the Near-Sea Camp. Hearing this, Chen Ren said anxiously.

"The array was broken open by the Water Clan, the situation is critical! Second Senior Brother wants you to support the Near-Sea Camp as soon as possible, stop playing around.................."

Chen Ren was extremely nervous, but hearing this, Hong Zun and the others’ eyes lit up, and there was even a faint red glow diffusing out.

Qing Shi was even more exaggerated, unconsciously revealing a smile, chuckling.

"Hey, the Near-Sea array was torn open?"

Just as he was saying this, suddenly hearing the laughter, Chen Ren turned his head in confusion, only to see that not only Qing Shi, but even Hong Zun, Zhang Tianzhen, and the others were all wearing a.............

Wait, what kind of expression is this? Excitement? Anticipation? Happiness? Joy?

*This is not right.* Looking at the expressions of Hong Zun and the others, Chen Ren was completely dumbfounded and said irritably.

"I’m asking what you are doing! The Near-Sea array has been broken, what are you happy about? That is the Near-Sea array, the Near-Sea array personally set up by the Founder! Now it’s broken, the array is broken!"

Seeing Chen Ren looking anxious, Hong Zun and the others restrained their expressions, but the joy in their eyes couldn't be hidden no matter what.

It used to be so troublesome to go to the East Sea, having to take tokens and such. Now, hey, the array is gone, doesn't that mean................
