#330 - It is easier to fish in muddy waters!
Sea Soul Sect's headquarters.
Inside a guest room.
Xu Chengxian's doppelganger was sitting in meditation and cultivating.
The patterned snake around his waist had disappeared without a trace.
The door and window were left ajar, seemingly having slithered out from there.
“Da Xu, why didn't you close the window this time?” Da Hei flew above the patterned snake's head, asking through divine sense.
“Of course, it's to fake the illusion of a snake pet sneaking out.” Xu Chengxian replied.
The Golden Core Realm Sect Leader wasn't around, but precautions had to be taken.
What if that guy just happened to return today?
“What are the odds of that happening…” Da Hei muttered softly.
“You black thing, quickly shut your mouth!” Xu Chengxian immediately roared in a low voice through divine sense. “What do you know? I call this being careful and sailing for ten thousand years!”
Opening his mouth to plant a flag here!
The most taboo thing when working secretly is having a jinx.
Although Da Hei wasn't a crow, not only was it pitch black, but its name also had 'Hei' (black) in it!
“Having 'Hei' in my name is not this尊's fault!” Da Hei retorted.
Who knows who gave it this awful name.
“Hmph, what do you know?” Xu Chengxian said smugly, “I'm using poison to fight poison!”
A double negative equals a positive, understand?
Da Hei indicated that it was difficult to understand.
But it didn't want to provoke Xu Chengxian at this time.
It was still thinking about the blood energy it could get after this guy swallowed the relic.
“For the sake of this blood energy, this尊 will endure it!” Da Hei thought to itself, “It won't be too late to talk about other things after the blood energy is in hand.”
During the day, they had already circled around the Sea Soul Sect.
The disciples who took them around were clearly instructed by those above to only show them some unimportant places, and they deliberately avoided the core areas of the sect.
But this kind of action just happened to inversely indicate the secret and important places of the Sea Soul Sect.
So, what Xu Chengxian had to do was to search all the places that the other party had deliberately concealed before.
“This place is indeed very big, fortunately, I was prepared early.”
In order to avoid triggering the defensive formation, one had to try to restrain one's divine sense and blood energy as much as possible, and act carefully.
If it hadn't been for that trip during the day, even if they spent the whole night tonight, they might not be able to find all the places.
“Da Xu, I didn't expect that Right Guardian to actually agree to let you in.” Da Hei couldn't help but say.
The Sea Soul Sect's defensive formation was connected to the earth's veins, and there was also a small spiritual vein below.
Once it was disturbed, it would envelop the entire headquarters. If one wanted to forcibly break into the formation without knowing the method to break the formation, even if Xu Chengxian revealed his true form and erupted with all his mana, it would be very difficult to do so.
But they actually came in so easily.
And the reason Xu Chengxian used was to let Song Jue familiarize himself with the environment of the Sea Soul Sect.
So that the child wouldn't be able to adapt to life here after successfully becoming an apprentice.
In addition, he also wanted to see the demeanor of the Sea Soul Sect.
So that he could give an explanation to the child's relatives after returning.
Good fellow, what kind of reasons are these?
“How could you even think of that!”
“What's wrong with that?” Xu Chengxian didn't take it seriously.
Is there a problem with a child entering school and inspecting the school's environment?
It's even more normal for parents to take a look together.
He also inquired about the teaching staff of this 'school' called the Sea Soul Sect, knowing that their Left and Right Guardians were both in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and in addition, there were seven elders, three in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, three in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and one in the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Half of the inner disciples followed the Golden Core Realm Sect Leader to cultivate in the Xuanmen Ten Continents Blessed Land.
Most of the rest were in the first or second level of Qi Refining.
“He's even willing to tell you this?” Da Hei was very surprised.
What's the difference between telling a robber your family's secrets?
“Of course there's a difference! I'm stealing, not robbing!” Xu Chengxian said with confidence.
“……”
Da Hei was speechless.
Xu Chengxian smiled.
In fact, Bai Wenyu and Pan Anshou contributed a lot to entering the Sea Soul Sect so smoothly.
These two people sincerely helped, and showed a very positive attitude.
They didn't have cultivation, but their identities were special. Once they opened their mouths, as long as the Sea Soul Sect's headquarters was still in Xuzhou, they had to give them some face.
In addition, Xu Chengxian 'saved' the Sea Soul Sect's inner disciple, and also gave a true inheritance little monk from the Bodhi Temple as a bonus.
The Right Guardian of the Sea Soul Sect, who came to the banquet on behalf of the Sect Leader, couldn't resist and had no choice but to agree to let him take Song Jue to see the Sea Soul Sect.
By the way, he also took his junior brother and the junior brother from the Bodhi Temple home.
If he refused, he would not only sweep the faces of the Pan and Bai families, chill the heart of Liu Guang, this junior brother with great cultivation aptitude, but also make the other disciples in the sect suspicious.
Maybe he would even offend the Bodhi Temple.
After all, Yin Kong and Liu Guang had similar identities, and their master must also have some status in the Bodhi Temple.
And his promise was just to let a Foundation Establishment cultivator walk around the sect.
If he kept an eye on him, nothing would happen.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Right Guardian naturally chose to agree.
Among them, there was also a reason that the upper echelons of the Sea Soul Sect did not want to be enemies with the White Snake Shrine.
Xu Chengxian's external identity was a Taoist, and he was also the protector of the White Snake Goddess.
Then, in the eyes of the Sea Soul Sect, as Xuanmen cultivators, they naturally had a foundation of closeness.
When competing for cultivation resources, it was natural for people to fight like dogs, but there were also not a few alliances.
Lingzhou and Xuzhou were next to each other, and there were not many cultivation resources to compete for in this place.
The opportunity for them to erupt in the biggest conflict did not exist.
Moreover, what the White Snake Shrine wanted was incense offerings, and the Sea Soul Sect was not very interested in incense offerings.
They wanted to stop the collusion between the Bodhi Temple and the Two Worlds River.
In other words, the Sea Soul Sect wanted to prevent the expansion of the Bodhi Temple's power.
Under this premise, all three parties could cooperate.
Then, what was impossible for the Sea Soul Sect to turn hostility into friendship with the White Snake Shrine?
“Let's go this way.”
Xu Chengxian chose the first direction to explore at this time.
A snake and a sheep floated over.
Turning hostility into friendship?
Anyway, he wasn't willing.
If everyone turned hostility into friendship, wouldn't it make him seem very inhuman to steal other people's treasures?
Let's be enemies.
As a local, there's no psychological pressure to steal.
Soon, they arrived at a small courtyard not far from the central gate.
There were several disciples with cultivation guarding inside.
But upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the place where the four Vajra Realm great monks from the Bodhi Temple were imprisoned.
“Bad luck!”
As soon as Da Hei saw it, it turned around and left.
“Wait!”
Xu Chengxian turned his eyes, turned around, and spat out a mouthful of blood energy.
A red light fell into the room, unlocking the restrictions placed on the four monks.
“Hehe!”
It's easier to fish in troubled waters!
