"I wonder what wonderful plan sister has?"

Cheng Xinzhan urged after seeing Xue Linglong not speak for a long time.

Xue Linglong said slowly, "This matter is really not easy to handle."

Cheng Xinzhan did not speak, waiting for the following.

Xue Linglong continued,

"To kill him, we definitely cannot go to the Wood Temple. There are countless dark woods there. If we miss, the dark woods will be intertwined into a net, and the two of us will not be able to escape. When the people from the Gold and Earth temples arrive, it will be catching a turtle in a jar."

"Reasonable."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded in agreement.

"Must invite him out of the Wood Temple, but coming to me won't work, going to you won't work either. I think we cannot take action inside Mount Tianqiao. Still the same sentence, if we miss, the movement will be too big."

"Also reasonable."

"Must trick him outside and find a secret place to ambush and kill."

"How to trick, what secret place to look for?"

"Tricking will be done by sister, and just borrow brother's point, use the matter of the mountain master not being decided to lure him out. I will use the old friendship of the three temples joining forces to slaughter the Long Boyan village as an excuse, saying that the Water and Fire temples want to honor him as the master, and use the excuse that the three temple masters meeting in the mountain is easy to cause suspicion from the Gold and Earth temples, invite him to talk outside the mountain, and kill him during the banquet. How about it?"

Cheng Xinzhan shook his head immediately upon hearing this, "No."

"Why not?"

"Although Li Laogui Li is not very smart, he will definitely leave a backhand or an eye for going to the banquet alone. Either he will take two confidants to follow, or he will come to set the banquet place. In that way, we can't take action."

"Even if he goes to the banquet alone, as long as he tells his subordinates before going out, if he can't come back, it must be the work of the Water and Fire temples. When the matter is exposed, how should we deal with it?"

After speaking, Cheng Xinzhan glanced at Xue Linglong, and the meaning in his eyes was quite obvious:

You thought for a long time and came up with this idea?

He said again,

"I say sister, don't just think about killing and taking bones, and ignore the rest. Besides, what if this Li Laogui Li didn't carry the dragon bones with him, but hid them in the temple? At that time, we killed someone, caused a fierce change in the Wood Temple, not only got nothing, but caused a body of trouble."

Xue Linglong giggled again. She was naturally not that stupid, just saying it to test this old mountain demon. Now it seems that this old thing is old, his mind is steady, and he is a person who can plan things. She continued,

"Brother is right. Sister thought about it carefully. Using our names to trick him out is indeed inappropriate. Brother's reminder is good, but it made sister think of a trick of diverting the disaster."

"How to divert? Where to divert?"

Xue Linglong then said the method she had really been thinking about,

"Brother, who does Li Laogui Li usually get close to in the mountain?"

"You, and the old woman Tian of the Earth Temple."

Xue Linglong first nodded and then shook her head,

"Brother, what you said before is not false. They humans have always looked down on our demon class, so Li Laogui Li usually gets close to me just to covet the spiritual liquid of my Water Temple to nourish his dark trees. In fact, among the five temples, the one closest to him is the old woman Tian of the Earth Temple."

"So you want to divert this disaster to the old woman Tian? How to divert?"

Cheng Xinzhan asked.

Xue Linglong asked back, "Where is the old woman Tian now?"

Cheng Xinzhan vaguely grasped the clue, his thoughts flying in his heart, but his mouth said unhurriedly,

"This old woman went out five or six years ago and hasn't returned yet. She must have found a place to cross the elixir washing tribulation, so I found sister to hurry up and plan the mountain master position. Otherwise, when she returns, it will be another obstacle and variable."

Xue Linglong nodded and continued,

"Brother doesn't know, sister has a righteous sister outside the mountain, who is a fox immortal, most good at changing and confusing."

"You want to let the fox immortal pretend to be the old woman Tian to trick Li Laogui Li out of the mountain? If the old woman Tian succeeds in crossing the tribulation, she will be in the Fourth Washing Realm. Does she have the ability to transform?"

Cheng Xinzhan questioned immediately, while thinking in his heart that it seems this snake demon still has doubts about the two forming an alliance, and this is to take the opportunity to pull a close outsider in to prepare for a backhand!

Xue Linglong smiled and said,

"Brother doesn't know my righteous sister's ability. But since brother is worried, I might as well reveal the bottom line. My sister is of the Tianhu race, and her cultivation has reached three tails. Pretending to be the old woman Tian is naturally not a problem."

Cheng Xinzhan frowned tightly and said again,

"But sister, what we are doing now, to put it ugly, is fighting among ourselves! It is harming the same sect! Even if we are demon sect evil corpses in the eyes of outsiders, this kind of face, after all, still needs some."

"After all, if this kind of thing is spread, even if I sit on the position of mountain master, I am afraid that the people under my hand will be scattered. This kind of thing is originally afraid of leaking a word, but now you pull outsiders in..."

Xue Linglong laughed in her heart when she heard this, secretly saying that it is to make you throw the rat and avoid the weapon, and it is good to have a handle in my hand! Thinking so, she said with certainty,

"Brother, don't worry. My righteous sister has an extraordinary relationship with me. We were in the same nest and ate together before transforming into human form. She will not harm me no matter what. What brother said about fighting among ourselves and harming the same sect, I have participated in it. Inducing and killing Li Laogui Li, I am the mastermind. Leaking the secret is no good for me."

She looked at Cheng Xinzhan and said, "Li Laogui Li's strength is not weak. If it weren't for the difficulty of killing him, I wouldn't have revealed this layer of relationship with my righteous sister to brother. This is the biggest retreat for sister's cultivation."

The mountain demon's white eyebrows wrinkled into a ball. After struggling for a long time, he finally let go and said in a muffled voice,

"Tell me about your plan."

Xue Linglong smiled triumphantly, and then recounted...

————

Ten days later.

Cheng Xinzhan quietly left Mount Tianqiao.

Following the hints left by Xue Linglong, he came to an inconspicuous place in the deep mountains. The ancient trees here were towering, and the miasma was lingering, which was no different from any other place in the Xiangxi mountains.

This mountain demon also had a Dharma eye, which was a pupil technique called "Illuminating Ghost Fire Eye," which could be considered a natural talent of the mountain demon race. It could see through ghosts, illusions, and poisonous gases in the mountains. However, the pupil technique of this level was too far from Cheng Xinzhan's own Elixir Pupil Green Eyes. Cheng Xinzhan scanned the surroundings and didn't see anything unusual.

"Brother, how is my righteous sister's illusion?"

At this time, Xue Linglong's laughter sounded in Cheng Xinzhan's ears.

Cheng Xinzhan nodded. Since the fox's illusion could not be seen by the mountain demon's ability, Li Xiaohuai of the Wood Temple would not be much stronger.

"Indeed divine! But still trouble the Fox Immortal to remove the magic first, and let me see the true face of Lushan."

He said.

"Giggle."

Only hearing a light laugh, the dense forest in front of him was removed like a canvas. Then, what was presented in front of Cheng Xinzhan was the continuous green hills. The green grass covered the calves, as clear as if it had been washed. The mountain wind blew, and it surged like sea waves.

In the green hills, near Cheng Xinzhan, stood two women. One was naturally Xue Linglong, but the other made Cheng Xinzhan's heart shake!

This woman was born with a beautiful appearance, charming eyes, wearing cloud and mist clothes, decorated with fresh flowers and colorful necklaces. She was truly a fairy-like figure, especially with an demon like Xue Linglong beside her, which set her off even more noble and elegant.

Cheng Xinzhan was lost for a moment.

However, his loss was naturally not because he was confused by the beauty of this woman, but because the figure and appearance of this woman were exactly the same as the Aunt Bao he saw at the "Place of the Ancestral Tian Shi Seal Sword" on Mount Longhu!

If there was a difference, there were some. The one on Mount Longhu was dressed as a married woman, and her figure was fuller, while the one in front of her was dressed as a young girl, and her figure was thinner and more beautiful.

Besides that, there was really no difference.

However, Cheng Xinzhan's stunned look, in the eyes of the two women, was naturally confused by beauty, so another burst of shallow laughter was issued.

Cheng Xinzhan came back to his senses, pretended to be okay, and walked closer.

Xue Linglong naturally would not expose the ugly state of the mountain demon, and introduced them with a smile,

"Brother, this is my righteous sister, surnamed Hu, named Baozhuang."

"Sister, this is my brother in Mount Tianqiao, master of the Fire Temple, surnamed Dan, named Xingwei."

Cheng Xinzhan bowed, "I have seen the Fox Immortal."

He was even more surprised in his heart. Baozhuang? The one on Mount Longhu, the little Ancestral Tian Shi called her Aunt Bao, both with the word 'Bao'. It seems that it really can't be separated from the relationship.

The woman also returned the salute, "I have seen Temple Master Dan."

Subsequently, Cheng Xinzhan was led by the two women to a cave dwelling deep in the green hills. This cave dwelling was arranged extremely elegantly, not like a demon cave, but like an embroidery building.

After the three were seated, Xue Linglong started to make trouble again,

"Brother, there is something I have to discuss with you."

"Oh?"

"It's like this. According to the plan, my sister will use her strength to lure Li Xiaohuai here, and then borrow the formation of my sister's treasure land to isolate the inside and outside, and we will catch a turtle in a jar together. Is that not so?"

"Not bad."

"But brother, my sister's output is nothing, but this place, we can't guarantee that we can kill Li Laogui with one blow. Li Laogui's dying counterattack will definitely turn my sister's cave dwelling upside down. We can't let her output and provide the place, so after we kill Li Laogui, shouldn't the benefits be shared with my sister?"

Cheng Xinzhan smiled when he heard this, and then said,

"Sister has never mentioned this matter to me. I originally thought that the share given to Fox Immortal was shared by sister from her own benefits. I didn't expect that she was eyeing my pocket."

Xue Linglong also smiled and said,

"Brother should be more generous, and also consider for sister. You seven I three, if I pay again, it will be in vain. Besides, my sister's illusion is so strong, it is also because of my face that she is willing to take action. I can also be considered to have contributed."

Cheng Xinzhan shook his head when he heard this, and his voice became a little cold,

"Sister is right, but these words are said late. If it were said earlier, I would naturally have no words. But now that it is time to take action, and then say this matter, is it threatening me?"

Xue Linglong hurriedly apologized with a smile,

"It is sister's fault for saying it late. But in fact, brother, think about it. Whether it is Li Laogui or Mount Tianqiao, those things are mostly related to walking corpses. Those things are useful to us, but useless to my righteous sister.

"So sister thinks that after killing Li Laogui, the treasures he carries that are not related to corpse refining will be given to my righteous sister. After annexing the Wood Temple, the things in the corpse cellar and treasure house, aren't the big heads still brother's?"

Cheng Xinzhan was silent when he heard this and did not answer.

Xue Linglong did not speak for a while, and Hu Baozhuang lowered her head and drank tea, not making a sound.

The cave dwelling was silent for twenty or thirty breaths. Just when Xue Linglong's smiling face gradually stiffened, she heard Cheng Xinzhan laugh loudly,

"Good! Just follow sister!"

Xue Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, but Hu Baozhuang, who really got the benefits, was indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with her.

At this time, Cheng Xinzhan's smile did not diminish, and he asked one more question,

"I wonder if sister, and Fox Immortal, have any other requirements? Let's say it all at once."

"There is indeed a small matter to discuss with Fellow Daoist Dan."

At this time, Hu Baozhuang spoke.

Xue Linglong began to lower her head and drink tea.

Cheng Xinzhan performed the expression of suppressing anger very well, and his tone was much lighter,

"Oh? Fox Immortal, please speak."

Cheng Xinzhan looked over.

So I heard this Hu Baozhuang say,

"Little sister has no other requirements, just seeing that Temple Master Dan is deep in planning and strong, not an ordinary person. In little sister's opinion, he will definitely be able to sit on the position of Mount Tianqiao master. Little sister only hopes that when the time comes, Mountain Master Dan can take care of little sister's sect."

Cheng Xinzhan narrowed his eyes when he heard this, glanced at Xue Linglong, and then looked at Hu Baozhuang,

"Coming to Fox Immortal's treasure land today, the two sisters have repeatedly said amazing things. I thought it was just entrusting to kill, but I didn't expect that Temple Master Xue had told Fox Immortal about the planning of the two of us! I also didn't expect that Temple Master Xue's righteous sister had another great background!"

Xue Linglong's hand holding the teacup stiffened. She knew that this old mountain demon was really angry.

At this time, I heard Hu Baozhuang say again,

"Temple Master Dan, don't be angry with my sister. This was all little sister pestering sister to say it, and no one else knows. Temple Master Dan, don't worry. I sincerely hope that Temple Master Dan can become Mountain Master Dan, and then my sister will become the deputy mountain master, and in the future, she can take care of little sister more."

Cheng Xinzhan snorted, and his red nose made a huge sound,

"Then I wonder what kind of treasure sect Fox Immortal comes from? And what high position do you hold in the sect?"

Hu Baozhuang smiled shallowly and said,

"Let Temple Master Dan see a joke. Little sister is a newly established sect, and I am the sect master. The sect name is 'Lost Soul Cave'."

Fire light burst into Cheng Xinzhan's eyes, and the teacup in his hand shattered with the sound. Only hearing him speak slowly,

"May I ask Fox Immortal, what is the relationship between this 'Lost Soul Cave' and the 'Lost Soul Stream' that was destroyed by Eastern Daoists not long ago?"

Hu Baozhuang covered her mouth and laughed,

"It's just changing the soup without changing the medicine, borrowing the corpse to return the soul. If it was really destroyed by two Daoists so easily, wouldn't our Xiangxi be surnamed Dao long ago?"

Light flashed in the mountain demon's eyes, and then he turned anger into joy again, laughing,

"Reasonable! Reasonable! The surprises and accidents Fox Immortal gave me today are really too many, which made me lose my composure. It turns out that the immortal is the helmsman of the Lost Soul lineage. Then I think it won't take long to restore the grand occasion of 'Lost Soul Stream'. At that time, I have to ask the immortal to help me more!"

Cheng Xinzhan laughed loudly, but he was already furious in his heart.

Good, good! Destroyed the Wandering Soul Mountain, and there is the Calling Soul Cave. Swept the Lost Soul Stream, and now there is another Lost Soul Cave. It is really a lineage that continues to grow!

What a fox immortal!

What a Mount Longhu!
