Chapter 519: Chapter 304: I Have a Plan, But...
"Brother Zhou is in seclusion, trying to break through his acupoints, but who would have thought that such a huge incident would happen with the Five Peaks and Eight Mountains. I’ve already checked the Golden Snake Stronghold, and the entire city can’t find the body of Chi Guan. However, there are several particularly striking lotus patterns," Liu Honest said.
Lei Zhen rubbed his bald head and said, "Damn, I searched the other destroyed strongholds as well and found many lotus patterns there too. It seems to be the work of the same group."
"Report!" A little henchman quickly ran over and said to the three, "The small ones have discovered the White Lotus pattern again."
"This is provocation, blatant provocation!" Ouyang Hua said with a grim face, "Brother Lei and Brother Liu, in just half a month, five families have been wiped out. The Five Peaks and Eight Mountains have only thirteen families in total. If we don’t act now and catch those responsible, I’m afraid the fate of our families won’t be any better, especially since even a master like Li Batian was killed."
Lei Zhen nodded, "Old Brother Ouyang is right. This time, we must join forces, or else we’ll be wiped out sooner or later."
Liu Honest was silent, appearing deep in thought.
Seeing this, Ouyang Hua and Lei Zhen felt strange and asked, "What’s the matter, Brother Liu?"
"I heard there’s a force in the Central Plains called the White Lotus Saint Sect. I wonder if this matter is related to them," Liu Honest said slowly.
"White Lotus Saint Sect?" Lei Zhen looked puzzled, unfamiliar with this force.
But Ouyang Hua was different. He immediately tightened the fan in his hand and said, "This White Lotus Saint Sect is full of strange people, reportedly acting recklessly and resorting to any means to achieve their goals. It seems these destroyed families being completely looted might really be the work of this White Lotus Saint Sect."
Lei Zhen rubbed his head and said, "I’m a simple man, but even I know that one should not leave a name behind when doing something. Why would the White Lotus Saint Sect leave their mark in the city?"
This question enlightened Ouyang Hua. Upon reflection, it seemed that perhaps someone was secretly framing them.
"Let’s go search the city thoroughly. We can’t just sit back and do nothing, or else this disaster will eventually fall upon us," Liu Honest said fiercely.
The three nodded and immediately dispersed, carefully searching various parts of the city.
While the three were worried about whether the scythe of death would fall upon them, Qin Yuesheng and his group had just arrived at the border of the Five Peaks and Eight Mountains, preparing to leave the area.
The cities of the Five Peaks and Eight Mountains are not aligned in a straight line. If Qin Yuesheng wanted to destroy more families, he would have to go out of his way, which he did not want to do. Therefore, the remaining families were fortunate enough to escape disaster, avoiding Qin Yuesheng’s grasp.
"How much further to the White Lotus Celestial Pavilion?" Qin Yuesheng, wolfing down elixirs inside the carriage, asked Bai Ningxuan.
"About half a month or so." Even though Bai Ningxuan had seen Qin Yuesheng’s eating style before, she couldn’t help but be amazed.
After all, no matter how good a normal person’s appetite was, it wouldn’t be possible to eat like this.
The longer Bai Ningxuan spent with Qin Yuesheng, the more she sensed his mystery, and her fascination with him grew deeper and deeper, becoming harder to extricate herself from.
"During this half month, you lead the way, and we’ll specifically look for those Central Plains sects to provoke, the bigger the better, to pose a major threat to the southern region of the Central Plains," Qin Yuesheng said.
Having seen the Five Peaks and Eight Mountains being decimated, Bai Ningxuan naturally understood Qin Yuesheng’s intentions long ago and immediately nodded with a smile, "Okay, I’ll do as you say."
