Chapter 75: The Ghost Spirit Sect's Big Trouble Has Arrived

"An old friend, seeking medicine?"

After hearing Yan Taibai's words, Nishang Xianzi whispered to herself.

"That girl Yan'er really has a loose tongue; she actually told you about this kind of thing."

A moment later, Nishang Xianzi sighed softly while resting her hand on her forehead, her tone tinged with resentment.

After all, even for a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, a heaven and earth spiritual herb of several hundred years is a rare and difficult item to obtain.

Now that Yan Taibai had opened his mouth to ask, Nishang Xianzi was truly somewhat hesitant.

Yan Taibai, meanwhile, stared at Nishang Xianzi, waiting for her decision.

If Nishang Xianzi did not agree, he would only be able to think of another way.

"Forget it, I will give you one spiritual herb. As for Spirit Stones or materials, never mind. However, in the future, you must promise Senior Sister one thing; consider it owing Senior Sister a favor, how about that? If you agree, Senior Sister will go to the medicine garden to get the medicine for you now."

After a long while, Nishang Xianzi nodded her head slightly, and under the gaze of Yan Taibai, who looked relieved and grateful, she agreed with a breath as fragrant as orchids.

"Many thanks, Senior Sister. If there are any instructions in the future, just say the word; as long as this younger brother can do it, I will never refuse."

Yan Taibai hurriedly stood up, bowed, and thanked her solemnly.

"Alright, enough with the formalities. Wait a moment, I will go fetch the heaven and earth spiritual herb."

Seeing this, a helpless smile appeared on Nishang Xianzi's jade face, and she stood up and left the hall.

After Nishang Xianzi left, Yan Taibai also let out a sigh of relief; he had not expected to obtain it so easily, which was truly unexpected.

However, this also meant he had incurred a not-so-small favor.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Nishang Xianzi returned to the hall with a jade-green Jade Box in her jade hand, a look of reluctance on her cheeks.

Under Yan Taibai's expectant gaze, she handed the jade-green Jade Box to Yan Taibai, parted her sandalwood lips, and said in a tone tinged with reluctance.

"The spiritual herb inside is called Green Jade Lotus, with an age of four hundred years; I presume that should be enough."

"It is enough, it is enough, many thanks, Senior Sister Nishang."

Yan Taibai hurriedly stood up to thank her and took the jade-green Jade Box.

"Hmm! If there is nothing else, you should go save your good friend first! I will not see you out."

After Yan Taibai took it, before he could even open it to check, Nishang Xianzi directly issued an order to leave.

"Very well, this younger brother takes his leave."

Hearing this, Yan Taibai did not check it either; he directly put the jade-green Jade Box into his Storage Bag, bowed, and was about to speak his farewells and leave.

"Wait a moment, these days someone in the marketplace has been inquiring about your news; they seem to be from the Yin Yang Demon Sect of Yuanwu Country. Did you do something when you went to Yuanwu Country? If so, do not leave the sect for this period of time to avoid any accidents. With your aptitude and the things left behind by the Yan Family, there is actually no need to leave the sect to seek opportunities before the Golden Core Stage."

Nishang Xianzi frowned slightly, as if she had thought of something, and spoke up to remind him.

Compared to Nangong Wan, who was always in seclusion, ignored worldly affairs, and focused solely on cultivation, Nishang Xianzi was still somewhat aware of the various affairs of the Yanyue Sect.

If there was any matter concerning Yan Taibai, if the Yanyue Sect stewards had any news, the first person they would tell was her, not Nangong Wan.

Because Nangong Wan was always in seclusion.

"Yuanwu Country, Yin Yang Demon Sect; they came quite quickly."

Hearing this, Yan Taibai's expression changed slightly, and he muttered to himself in his heart.

"It seems you did indeed go to Yuanwu Country. Remember, you are not allowed to go again. I will send someone to resolve this matter for you."

Although Yan Taibai's expression recovered quickly, it still did not escape Nishang Xianzi's eyes, and she said in a slightly cold and reprimanding tone.

"Very well, then many thanks, Senior Sister."

Yan Taibai nodded and agreed.

"Hmm! Go. Return to your cave dwelling and cultivate well."

Nishang Xianzi issued an order to leave once again.

"This younger brother takes his leave."

Hearing this, Yan Taibai did not delay any longer; he directly bowed and left Nishang Xianzi's cave dwelling.

Once he left the cave dwelling, Yan Taibai returned to the cave dwelling of Xin Ruyin and her master and gave the spiritual herb to them.

"Many thanks, fellow Daoist. If there are any instructions in the future, this old man will never refuse."

After receiving the heaven and earth spiritual herb of several hundred years handed over by Yan Taibai, Xin Ruyin's Master said with a look of relief.

"Senior, you are too polite."

"However, there is one thing I must tell you, Senior."

Yan Taibai shook his head and said with a slightly solemn expression.

"Please speak, fellow Daoist?"

"The Yin Yang Demon Sect has sent people; clearly, it is as we planned. They suspect me, so I will have to trouble you, Senior, for what comes next."

Yan Taibai reminded him.

"This old man understands; leave this matter to this old man."

Hearing this, Xin Ruyin's Master nodded and agreed with a solemn expression.

After all, this was originally part of their plan.

Now it just depends on whether his master has gathered any intelligence; as long as it has been successfully gathered.

Then, the Ghost Spirit Sect can forget about having peaceful days in the future.

After Xin Ruyin's matter was resolved, Yan Taibai returned to Nangong Wan's cave dwelling to continue his closed-door cultivation.

And during his period of seclusion, a "rumor" appeared within Yue Country and Yuanwu Country.

Ten years from now, the Heavenly Luo Kingdom Six Demon Sects are about to invade several countries, including Cheqi Kingdom, Jiang Kingdom, Yue Country, and Yuanwu Country.

The Righteous Alliance of Fengdu Kingdom is also preparing to invade two surrounding medium-sized countries...

Most importantly, the source of this news: the Ghost Spirit Sect.

Once this authentic "rumor" came out, the high-level figures of the Heavenly Luo Kingdom Six Demon Sects who knew about this matter completely exploded.

They successively sent people to secretly head to the Ghost Spirit Sect to demand an explanation as to what exactly was going on.

Why not openly? Because doing so openly would just confirm this "rumor."

After all, it was not yet time to initiate this thousand-year grand plan, and if this "rumor" were confirmed now, the only way would be to act immediately.

But in that case, the failure rate would increase significantly.

Yet if they did not initiate it and let the various countries prepare, then if they initiated it later, the failure rate would only be higher, not lower.

As for why it leaked, according to intelligence obtained by the other five sects of the Demonic Path in Tianluo Country.

It seems the Ghost Spirit Sect, in order to have the Yan Family Fortress return, told the Yan Family Ancestor about this matter in advance.

Under these circumstances, one can imagine the pressure on the Ghost Spirit Sect; the other five sects had all sent Nascent Soul cultivators to demand an explanation.

Therefore, the Ghost Spirit Sect Master Wang Tiansheng had to come out of seclusion to personally receive them.

And all the clansmen of the Yan Family within the entire Ghost Spirit Sect were placed under detention.

That's right, detention!

Even if Ghost Spirit Sect Master Wang Tiansheng believed that the Yan Family Ancestor could not have leaked a single bit, he still had to do this to investigate the situation.

Especially to give the other five sects of Tianluo Country an explanation. And this explanation could not be the Ghost Spirit Sect; it could only be the Yan Family.

If Yan Ruyan were in the Yan Family, Ghost Spirit Sect Master Wang Tiansheng would still protect her a little, at most placing her under house arrest.

Unfortunately, not even a hair of Yan Ruyan is here now, although it had already been arranged to bring her back to the Ghost Spirit Sect as soon as Ruyan reached Foundation Establishment.

But the most important thing now is to resolve the accountability from the other five Demonic Path sects.
