Chapter 496: Let me first sort this out

Having convinced all the ghost kings, Yin Xiaoshan (Yin Lishan's grandson) immediately used the Mìfǎ the old man had passed to him to contact Yin Lishan.

What's wrong?

Soon, a gloomy voice reached Yin Xiaoshan's ears; upon hearing it, he replied.

Old man, you can't mess with the Dao Yi Sect.

Huh??? What does that mean?

I have already defected to the Dao Yi Sect.

What did you say?

Yin Xiaoshan's words startled me, you damn... I, Laozi, am over here plotting how to take down the Dao Yi Sect, and you've gone and defected to them!

Deep in Ghost Valley, Yin Lishan wished he could kill this wretched brat of his.

Seeing the old man about to lose his temper, Yin Xiaoshan hurriedly explained everything in detail.

Of course, he emphasized two points: first, how strong the Dao Yi Sect is, and that cooperating with the Huang Ji Sect has no future, so defecting to the Dao Yi Sect is the wise choice.

The second point was how delicious the Dao Yi Sect's food is—once you taste it, you can't forget it; it's practically divine.

Old man, think about it: if we defect to the Dao Yi Sect, we'll not only gain more benefits, but we can also take the opportunity to kill that old ghost, and then Ghost Valley will be just as you said.

As Yin Xiaoshan gave his persuasion, Yin Lishan fell silent, and after a long while he finally spoke.

You say the Dao Yi Sect's food is really that good?

Huh???

That remark left Yin Xiaoshan bewildered—no, I just explained all that to you, and you only caught this one sentence?

Nevertheless, Yin Xiaoshan nodded.

Absolutely true—I've never eaten anything so delicious.

Find a chance; let me talk to Yu Mo.

In the end, Yin Lishan left behind these words.

After ending the Mìfǎ, the ghost kings nearby nervously asked.

How did it go? What did the Lishan Ghost Emperor say?

Don't worry, I'll first go see the upper sect.

Yin Xiaoshan nodded with a smile, then hurried off to request an audience with Qi Xiong.

The Huang Ji Sect is about to make a move; we must quickly let our old man and Yu Mo get in touch.

Qi Xiong's side had just finished discussing matters with Yu Mo and the others, and everyone was about to go their separate ways when Yin Xiaoshan suddenly requested an audience.

Yin Xiaoshan?

I still have an impression—it seems it was the first to surrender today; its appearance isn't demonic, it's fair and clean, and without the ghostly aura it would look almost human, just a bit paler.

What does it want?

He didn't say, only that there's something very important that must be told personally to the Sect Master.

Sect Master, Yin Xiaoshan's background is not simple—he's the grandson of the Lishan Ghost Emperor.

That old ghost?

I didn't expect Yin Xiaoshan to have such a background; Yin Lishan naturally knows this—he's a major figure in Dongzhou.

I heard that over two hundred years ago it took in a grandson, and that's this Yin Xiaoshan?

Exactly.

Then let him in.

After thinking, Qi Xiong still decided to meet Yin Xiaoshan; after all, they had just surrendered, and turning them away would be unreasonable.

Soon, under the guidance of that elder, Yin Xiaoshan entered; upon seeing Qi Xiong, he hurried forward with a fawning smile.

Young Master Yin greets the upper sect; after not seeing you for several Shíchén, the upper sect grows ever more majestic, elegant, fresh and handsome, tall and handsome, beautiful as a jeweled crown, capable of toppling nations, bringing disaster to the land.

Stop, stop, stop.

At first seeing Yin Xiaoshan's fawning demeanor and hearing his opening string of flattery, Qi Xiong was stunned.

But as he listened, the tone felt off—when the phrase 'bringing disaster to the land' came up, Qi Xiong hurriedly called a halt.

Hehe, please excuse the upper sect; Yin Xiaoshan spoke from the heart. Frankly, his reverence for the upper sect is like the endless flow of the Heavenly River, and also like...

Alright, alright, why did you come see me? Just say it straight, don't waste time on nonsense.

What a guy, he's a total flattery king.

Not only Qi Xiong, but even Hong Zun, Qing Shi, and the others nearby wore strange expressions.

This guy being Yin Lishan's grandson actually makes sense—just look at that mouth...

Hong Zun casually glanced at Mo Yun and said solemnly.

Junior fellow disciple, you really ought to learn from them properly.

Hearing that, Mo Yun blinked, then gave Yin Xiaoshan a doubtful look.

Learn what? Become a demon like him?

Heh............

He twitched his mouth, thinking, 'I didn't say that; expecting Junior Fellow Disciple Mo Yun to learn this is as likely as a sow climbing a tree.'

On the other side, Yin Xiaoshan also told Qi Xiong his true purpose.

After hearing that, Qi Xiong was somewhat bewildered.

Wait a moment, let me sort this out.

You mean just now that the Huang Ji Sect and Ghost Valley are secretly colluding, wanting to strike at my Dao Yi Sect?

Then, you've turned from darkness to light, so you swayed the Lishan Ghost Emperor, and now the Lishan Ghost Emperor wants to talk with my junior uncle to plot something big?

What the hell is all this? You're playing a whole Internal Affairs saga.

Qi Xiong's mind was a bit muddled, while Yin Xiaoshan kept nodding repeatedly.

The senior sect is truly the literary star of heaven descended to earth, endowed with exceptional talent and unmatched strategy; from Xiaoshan's perspective, the senior sect must be the foremost strategist of this Dongzhou, and Xiaoshan's admiration for the senior sect is truly like the waters of the Heaven-Reaching River, endless and continuous, and also like................

All right, all right.

Qi Xiong hurriedly interrupted, this kid really can talk.

However, the Huang Ji Sect making a move at this time was indeed something Qi Xiong hadn't anticipated.

Turning his head to glance at Yu Mo and the two others, and following Qi Xiong's gaze, Yin Xiaoshan also saw them, immediately stepped forward, and once again put on a fawning expression.

Xiaoshan has met the three senior elders; I have long heard that the three senior elders once dominated Dongzhou, being the Heavenly Pride of Dongzhou who have not appeared for millions of years, and once ruled an era of Dongzhou.

Now that I have the fortune to meet you, the three seniors are truly growing stronger with age, becoming ever more youthful; my admiration for the three seniors is like the waters of the Heaven-Reaching River, endless and continuous, and also like................

Enough.

Seeing Yin Xiaoshan approach again, Yu Mo and the two others darkened their faces and directly cut him off, 'What exactly is this evil thing, always giving people the same old routine?'

Having stopped Yin Xiaoshan, Yu Mo pondered for a moment and said.

Let Jiang Shan and the two come secretly; I will first get in touch with Old Ghost Yin.

Now, all the ghost kings of Guigu have become the ghosts of the Dao Yi Sect; Jiang Shan and the two secretly infiltrating Guigu is naturally no difficulty.

Facing the joint forces of the Huang Ji Sect and Guigu, we still cannot be careless.

However, if it is truly as Yin Xiaoshan said, then there is nothing to fear; adding a ghost king, their six versus three would be effortless.

As for the rest, all the ghost kings have defected, and there is even a ghost emperor added; do we still need to fear the evil of Guigu?

Hearing this, Qi Xiong nodded.

Xiaoshan.

Senior elder, I am always here; if you have any orders, just say them; Xiaoshan would go through blades and fire,..................

Stop, stop, stop; just contact your family's person directly, no need to say all that.

Yu Mo had Yin Xiaoshan make contact with his grandfather; both sides at least need to make initial contact before determining whether they can cooperate.
