Chapter 497

According to Yu Mo's instructions, Yin Xiaoshan used Mìfǎ to contact his own old master.

After some personal communication, Yu Mo and Yin Lishan quickly reached an agreement.

After leaving Qi Xiong and the others, Yin Xiaoshan contacted Yin Lishan once again.

"Old master, you really made a wise decision."

"What's wrong?"

"I didn't dare say it just now, but the Dao Yi Sect is truly sinister—they've hidden their strength."

"What hidden strength?"

"Old master, do you still remember Jiang Shan and them?"

"Jiang Shan? Weren't those two dead?"

"They're not dead; I just heard with my own ears that Jiang Shan and them have secretly defected to the Dao Yi Sect."

"What are you saying? Really?"

"Absolutely certain, old master—what I heard with my own ears couldn't be false."

"Okay, I understand."

On the surface, Yin Xiaoshan seems to have no proper occupation and is also a flatterer.

But if you really think that, you're completely mistaken.

If Yin Xiaoshan were truly a good-for-nothing, he wouldn't have become a Ghost King, nor would Yin Lishan have taken a liking to him.

From Yin Xiaoshan we learned that Jiang Shan and Peng Yun are not dead and have secretly joined the Dao Yi Sect.

Yin Lishan felt relieved at once, and his resolve to join the Dao Yi Sect firmed up.

There's no way around it—even if Yin Lishan didn't join, given the Dao Yi Sect's strength, they'd likely suffer a major loss.

They have five Great Saints, all at Perfection of the Great Saint Realm, while the two patriarchs of the Huang Ji Sect are one at Great Saint Perfection and the other only at Accomplishment of the Great Saint Realm.

The outcome is hardly in doubt.

Meanwhile, after Yin Xiaoshan left, Qi Xiong and the others exchanged smiles.

The matter of Jiang Shan just now was deliberately let Yin Xiaoshan hear by Yu Mo, the purpose being to give Yin Lishan an even more irresistible reason.

Without a chance of victory, going together with the Huang Ji Sect would be tantamount to suicide.

And anyone with sense would know how Yin Lishan should choose.

Moreover, joining the Dao Yi Sect is far better than cooperating with the Huang Ji Sect.

What the Huang Ji Sect can offer, the Dao Yi Sect can also offer; and what the Dao Yi Sect can offer, the Huang Ji Sect may not necessarily be able to afford.

"This kid is quite slippery."

Yu Mo gave a light laugh, naturally referring to Yin Xiaoshan—who appears carefree, yet upon hearing the two words "Jiang Shan" just now, he could remain completely composed.

In response, Qi Xiong laughed and said.

"He does have some cleverness, but this ginger is still old and spicy."

In the eyes of Yu Mo, Qi Xiong, and those old-timers, Yin Xiaoshan's bit of cleverness amounts to nothing.

He's long been firmly under their control.

Unaware that Yin Lishan and the many Ghost Kings have already joined the Dao Yi Sect, Ji Wushuang here is busy making tight arrangements.

According to the plan, our two patriarchs, together with Ghost Valley, will deal with Qi Xiong and the others.

And the Huang Ji Sect is responsible for the four peak disciples outside Ghost Valley, as well as blocking the Dao Yi Sect's support.

Those four peak disciples are nothing to fear; without Qi Xiong and those Saints, resolving them would not be difficult.

And as for blocking the Dao Yi Sect's support, Ji Wushuang today received another piece of good news.

"Are you certain about this?"

"Absolutely certain."

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

Just now, Ji Wushuang learned that the great formation at Jinhai Yingdi had been torn open by the water tribe.

Thus, the pressure on Jinhai Yingdi instantly surged severalfold, and the Dao Yi Sect absolutely could not stand by and do nothing.

And with the pressure on Jinhai Yingdi so great, it would no longer be easy for the Dao Yi Sect to support Ghost Valley here.

This, for Ji Wushuang, is good news no matter how you look at it.

Just then, Su Luoxing also contacted Ji Wushuang, opening with an inquiry about the Jinhai Yingdi situation.

"You know about the Jinhai Yingdi matter?"

"Yeah, just received the news."

Upon hearing that, Ji Wushuang said with a smile, and through the Formation Light Curtain, the two laughed in an extremely sinister manner.

"That way, your pressure will be much reduced."

Su Luoxing laughed, and upon hearing that, Ji Wushuang also spoke in reply.

"But we still need the help of your Luo Xia Sect."

"Rest assured, as long as the Dao Yi Sect has support, I will naturally cooperate with you on the side."

To be safe, Ji Wushuang specially invited Su Luoxing to assist from the side, just to ensure everything goes flawlessly.

At this moment, Su Luoxing nodded, and Ji Wushuang had not a trace of worry left in his heart.

In his view, this time even heaven is on the side of his Huang Ji Sect; even if the Dao Yi Sect had heaven-defying abilities, they could not resolve this crisis.

It seemed as if he had already seen the moment of success.

After hanging up the Formation, Ji Wushuang burst into loud laughter; having dealt with Qi Xiong and the others, the threat from the Dao Yi Sect is greatly reduced, at least no longer will there be a situation of one dominant power.

And the Qing Yun Sect has also been destroyed; as long as the Luo Xia Sect is eliminated, his Huang Ji Sect will become the hegemon of Dongzhou.

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

Order people to prepare; once the elders take action, we will also immediately suppress and kill those four peak disciples of the Dao Yi Sect.

Yes.

Immediately issuing the order, the many experts and disciples of the Huang Ji Sect set out to ambush outside Ghost Valley, waiting only for the battle inside Ghost Valley to begin, at which point they will also act without delay.

Ji Wushuang was making preparations on his side, while Qi Xiong naturally was not idle either.

However, he remained calm and composed, intending to turn the tables with a reverse scheme, luring them into the jar.

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

Upon seeing Chen Ren, Qi Xiong was momentarily startled.

"Fourth Junior Brother, how did you come here?"

"Senior Brother, something serious has happened—something's gone wrong at the Near Sea Camp."

And upon seeing Qi Xiong, Chen Ren hurriedly spoke.

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

"Something happened at the Near Sea Camp? What's up?"

Everyone was quite familiar with the Near Sea Camp; hearing this, Chen Ren anxiously said.

"The formation has been breached by the water tribe, the situation is critical—Second Senior Brother ordered you to rush to support the Near Sea Camp, stop messing around.................."

Chen Ren spoke with utmost urgency, but upon hearing this, Hong Zun and the others' eyes lit up, even a faint red glow emanating from them.

Qing Shi was even more exaggerated, unconsciously showing a smirk, hehehe laughing.

"Heh, the Near Sea Grand Formation has been torn open?"

Just as he was speaking, suddenly hearing laughter, Chen Ren turned his head with a puzzled look, only to see not only Qing Shi, but also Hong Zun, Zhang Tianzhen, and the others all wearing.............

Wait, what expression is this? Excitement? Anticipation? Joy? Delight?

This is totally wrong, seeing the expressions of Hong Zun and the others, Chen Ren went numb, and he said irritably.

"What are you doing? The Near Sea Grand Formation has been breached, why are you happy? That's the Near Sea Grand Formation personally set up by the patriarch—now it's broken, the formation is broken!"

Seeing Chen Ren's anxious expression, Hong Zun and the others finally restrained their expressions, but the delight in their eyes could not be concealed.

Going to the East Sea before was such a hassle, plus we had to fetch tokens and such; now, heh, the formation is gone—doesn't that mean..................
