Chapter 398 You Take the Blame, I Take the Benefits (Two in One)

Lianrong City, above the East Gate.

What does it mean to search for something everywhere but still not find it, only to find it without any effort?

This is the scene before me.

Originally, the righteous side thought that they had to fight a fierce battle with this group of evil villains, finally capture one of them and interrogate him, in order to achieve their ultimate goal of coming to Linyuanzhou this time.

But I never expected that it could be achieved so easily.

"Xiao Cha is the demon?"

The one who asked this question was neither Xue Ruzi nor Bu Suanzi.

But it was the man in yellow robe who jumped out at the end, wearing a silver mask.

After the yellow-robed man appeared, Xue Ruzi and the other two heirs of the holy land even took a half step back, as if they regarded the other party as the leader.

Obviously, the identity of this man in yellow robe is not ordinary.

And facing his slightly excited questioning.

"How dare you! Who are you to address me by my name?"

Without waiting for anyone else to answer, Qian Sihai took the initiative to scold again.

Judging from his actions alone, it seems as if he is trying to please the "Holy Son" elected by everyone.

It is not surprising that there are many monsters in the Demonic Path. After all, the Wanbao Sect has always been a "fence-sitter" and will support whoever is in power.

However, Han Mo, who was watching below, frowned slightly.

Of course, among all the monsters, only Xiao Cha was the most satisfied. Seeing his fellow apprentice brother showing such support, he was so proud that he pretended to be humble:

"Okay, Junior Brother Qian... I am a humble man, but I am honored to be the Holy Son of the Six Sects of the Holy Dao by all the Junior Brothers' kindness.

Please rest assured, fellow disciples, I am here today and will make the pseudo-Daoists pay the price for their arrogance and ignorance."

"idiot!"

As soon as Xiao Cha's words, which were equivalent to his active admission, fell, there was no reaction from the righteous side, but Han Mo instantly cursed.

"Master, why do you call this man a 'fool'? Is it because he stole your identity as 'Demon'?" Lei Mu on the side asked with some confusion.

"Nothing. Since he wants the identity of 'Mozi', it's not impossible to lend it to him temporarily." Han Mo shook his head without explaining anything.

In fact, the scene before him was already part of his plan.

And for this plan, he traveled thousands of miles and came to Linyuanzhou in person.

He did not hesitate to use his own blood to lure the witch of the Blood Killing Palace into corruption, and sold his body to seduce the saint of the Ancient God Religion, and even reached a secret deal with the Shadow of the Wuhen Dao.

However, he did not expect that the plan would go so smoothly.

He thought there would be some twists and turns, and he had even prepared some backup plans in advance, just to let someone else take the blame for being a "natural born devil."

But he didn't expect that Xiao Cha was such a fool and took the initiative to take this huge black pot for him.

He had thought that among the six sects of the devil, only Xiao Cha was worthy of his attention.

After all, whether in terms of talent, strength, or even luck, although the other party is not at the protagonist level, he is at least a son of luck.

What a pity, he is so arrogant and his brain is not working well.

However, this is also the norm for people with the fate of the protagonist in some books, and it is not surprising.

From this point of view, Xiao Cha should not be a cause for concern.

At this moment, compared to Xiao Cha, he was more concerned about another evil demon.

When Han Mo was thinking about this and his eyes fell on that person, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the right side:
"Haha, good, very good, great, it turns out Xiao Cha is the demon, it was effortless to get it.

As long as I can kill him, the teacher will definitely be happy, and I can also fulfill her wish and take my relationship with her to the next level, hahahaha..."

The one who let out bursts of laughter was the yellow-robed man who was the leader of the righteous path.

His voice was so low, as if he was talking to himself, that most people present could not hear it clearly. They only heard him burst into laughter which was very creepy at first.

"teacher?"

Of course, Han Mo, who possessed the consciousness of a Nascent Soul, naturally heard it clearly, which also made him slightly stunned.

But before he could figure out the identity of the man in yellow robe and who the teacher he was talking about was?

"Go ahead, kill Xiao Cha at all costs!"

The man in yellow robe had stopped laughing. His eyes were covered by a silver mask, but his black eyes were fixed on Xiao Cha. He then issued a "kill order" to fight to the death.

Originally, Xiao Cha was quite complacent because of Qian Sihai's flattery, and even boasted that he would teach these hypocritical people a lesson on behalf of his junior brothers who had helped him to the top.

But I didn't expect...

Boom, boom——!
Countless flying swords whizzed out, and several golden elixir magic weapons fell on their heads, bringing with them the sound of wind and thunder, as if it were a thunderbolt from the sky, booming suddenly.

Although Xiao Cha's strength ranks first among the younger generation of the Demon Sect, he is only a false infant cultivator and has not broken through the limit of the younger generation - the Golden Core Stage.

So when faced with the righteous path's lack of martial ethics, sudden sneak attacks, and even all flying swords and magic weapons being used on him alone, even if he is the number one of the younger generation of the evil path, a tiger cannot stand up to a pack of wolves, right?
"My fellow disciples, come and lend a helping hand to Xiao."

So, Xiao Cha, who had made such a boast just now, was struggling to resist the righteous beating of the righteous monks, while turning to his fellow brothers behind him for help.

Xue Tuzi and Ji Wuyou did not think too much about it, they just regarded it as a normal battle between good and evil, without saying anything, they called their disciples and went up to support them with magic weapons and flying swords.

Soon, a group of demonic monks and righteous monks started fighting together, just like the countless disputes between the righteous and demonic sects.

Although Shadow followed, he did not contribute much and just pretended to "act" on the side.

Han Mo knew why Shadow was so unhelpful. After all, he had a deal with him and both parties had agreed on it long ago.

This is understandable, but Han Mo was a little puzzled by another person's similar behavior.

"No, there's something wrong with Qian Sihai from Wanbaomen."

Han Mo, who was hiding below and watching the battle, quickly saw through his Nascent Soul consciousness that Qian Sihai was also not trying his best.

Recalling his previous behavior of praising Xiao Cha twice in a row, Han Mo immediately realized that something was wrong.

You know, Qian Sihai, according to the game, is a very good person who always plays peacemaker and welcomes everyone with a smile.

While his previous behavior, which seemed to be flattering Xiao Cha, was actually an active provocation to the righteous path.

This obviously does not fit his image as a peacemaker.

The characters are inconsistent, there must be something fishy!
So what Han Mo had been observing before was the young master of the Chamber of Commerce.

At this time, although Qian Sihai also joined the melee, like other young geniuses of the demonic path, he challenged a Jindan cultivator in a one-on-one battle.

But with Han Mo's Yuanying vision, he could easily see that the fight between these two was just a show.

And as time went on, the two of them kept moving and dodging in the melee, fighting further and further away, gradually moving away from the center of the battlefield.

Since there were nearly a hundred people from both the righteous and evil sides participating in the melee this time, the small space above the East City Gate was obviously not enough for them to fight. Therefore, there were also many Jindan Zhenren like Qian Sihai who moved further and further away from the center of the battlefield.

After all, when the Jindan Zhenren fought, the remaining waves were enough to defeat ordinary foundation-building cultivators.

Therefore, the Jindan Zhenren of both the righteous and evil paths were afraid of accidentally hurting their teammates, so they deliberately kept their distance.

It was just that Qian Sihai ran a little further away, but not enough to arouse anyone's suspicion.

It was only because Han Mo had been keeping an eye on him that he discovered the trick.

"Come on, follow me and have a look."

Han Mo estimated that the melee between the good and evil forces would take some time to determine the winner.

After all, the strength of both sides is similar. Although the righteous path has a slight advantage in terms of number of people, the evil path has more cultivators with advanced cultivation, so they can be said to be evenly matched.

So he called Lei Mu to follow and see what Qian Sihai was up to.

Of course, Han Mo was naturally very grateful to Xiao Cha for taking the beating for him.

He even hoped that this group of people would fight as fiercely as possible, so that everyone would know Xiao Cha's name "Demon".

In this way, his plan was perfectly realized.

Alas, poor Xiao Cha, not only did he have to take the blame for the prince, but he also had to take the beating for him. It was really difficult for him.

Han Mo silently thanked Xiao Cha's family in his heart, then quickly left the crowd with Lei Mu and turned to chase in the direction of Qian Sihai.

……

……

Lianrong Island, a relatively safe cliff at the northern end of the island.

Two "fighting" streams of light flew all the way and finally landed on the cliff.

The so-called "relatively safe" does not mean that this place is within the coverage of the Lianrong Island formation.

In fact, on each of the twelve islands in the outer sea, the Merchant Alliance has deployed a top-level Nascent Soul formation to defend against sea monsters and some malicious foreign monks who are plotting to take over the islands.

Otherwise, the Yuanying masters guarding the island are generally still in the early Yuanying stage. After all, which great cultivator in the late stage would be willing to do such a hard job as guarding the island? Naturally, it would be difficult to resist the powerful Yuanying monsters in the deep sea.

Once the formation on the island is activated, not to mention the monsters in the sea, those small and small people who dare to come to the island to cause trouble will naturally not succeed.

However, at this moment, the east gate of Lianrong City was about to be overwhelmed, but the formation had not yet been activated.

Perhaps it was because the righteous people had long known of the existence of the formation and had sent people to interfere. Even Master Wenlong, the owner of the island, and some Nascent Soul cultivators of the evil sects were unable to free their hands, and naturally could not activate the formation.

Therefore, if the formation is not activated, even the north of the island within the coverage of the formation cannot be said to be very safe.

The "safety" here refers to the fact that the terrain here is quite high, so everything within the entire Lianrong Island can be seen, and it is far away from the battlefield and will not be discovered by both righteous and evil cultivators.

After successfully avoiding the attention of both the righteous and evil cultivators, the two figures who were originally "fighting fiercely" quickly stopped their fight, landed on the top of the mountain, looked at each other, and smiled.

"Master Qian, how is it? Is this done?"

A middle-aged man in a gray robe standing opposite Qian Sihai asked with a somewhat earnest look on his face.

This is a Jindan cultivator from the righteous side, and also the leader of a second-rate righteous sect in Xuanji Prefecture, northwest of Linyuan Prefecture, under the command of the Tianji Holy Land, but with close trading relations with the Chamber of Commerce.

"How can I say I failed when I personally go out to fight?"

Qian Sihai chuckled with a smug look on his face, without any trace of the fierceness he had when he scolded Zhengdao before.

After a pause, he glanced vigilantly in the direction of Lianrong City, and seeing that no one was following him, he continued:

"This Xiao Cha is very ambitious. He gets carried away with success after a little provocation. This way, he has become enemies with that group of pseudo-Taoists. It is not in vain that I leaked the news of the alliance to the pseudo-Taoists.

As long as they make a big fuss here, our goal will be achieved.

By the way, are your spirit stones ready?"

As soon as Qian Sihai finished speaking, the middle-aged man nodded quickly:
"I've been prepared for this day. I've sold everything I have. As long as you nod, I can buy the entire Lianrong Island."

"That's great. Next, my Chamber of Commerce will spread the news that the righteous monks did not abide by the ethics of martial arts and attacked my Lianrong Island, causing heavy losses to the monks stationed on the island, and Master Wenlong was seriously injured.

The Six Sects Alliance had to be suspended because of the disturbance by the Righteous Path, and most of the Heavenly Pride from our Holy Path who came to attend the meeting were injured. The Five Sects were very dissatisfied with this, and the future of Lotus Rong Island is worrying..."

Listening to Qian Sihai's talk, the middle-aged man hesitated:
"Isn't it a little too fake that Master Wenlong was seriously injured? After all, he is a Yuanying Master?"

“No, the righteous sect has also sent many Yuanying masters this time, and they are currently confronting each other at the City Lord’s Mansion.

Besides, Master Wenlong is my cousin, and he will get 30% of the profits, so it won’t be difficult for him to pretend to be seriously injured.”

"Then Young Master Qian, you invited that group of righteous monks to besiege Lianrong Island. If a Saint Dao genius really died, and was tracked down by the powerful masters of the other five sects, wouldn't that be a bad thing?"

Seeing that the middle-aged man was still a little worried, Qian Sihai patted his shoulder as if to encourage him:

"What are you afraid of? Don't underestimate our group of geniuses from the Holy Path. Which of them doesn't have a way to protect their lives?
Even though the fighting at the East City Gate is fierce right now, no one is stupid enough to risk their lives. The current battle between good and evil is just a fight for face. Who would want to fight to the death for no reason?

Besides, how can you do business without taking any risks? "

"Young Master Qian is still far-sighted." After Qian Sihai's comfort, the middle-aged man finally regained some courage.

Young Master Qian is right. How can there be no risk in doing business? If there is no risk, you can't make any spirit stones, right?

However, he soon thought of another question:
"But if all this news is released at once, won't everyone believe it?"

Hearing this, Qian Sihai sneered:
"Oh, Master Li, this is because you don't understand business.

Not to mention that the news here is half true and half false, even if only 10% of it is true and can affect the prospects of Lianrong Island, it is enough to make these speculators sell off their properties like crazy. "

“This group of speculators came to my Lianrong Island to invest because they valued the island’s prospects. Fortunately, my business alliance had released the news before, widely publicizing how bright the prospects of this island are.

But what will happen if we lose this prospect? We will end up losing everything we have invested. Isn’t this a common occurrence in Linyuan Province?
We can still vividly remember the scene in which bettors on Changling Island suffered heavy losses due to a sea monster attack not long ago.

After hearing the news, they would probably rush to sell their properties, even at a low price, to keep a little capital. How could they have the leisure to travel thousands of miles to Lianrong Island to verify the authenticity? "

Qian Sihai's words, which were somewhat didactic, were like an epiphany, and the middle-aged man was convinced.

"As expected of you, Young Master Qian. May I ask, Young Master Qian, when is the best time for us to acquire these properties?"

"No rush. Wait until the news spreads and the prices of these industries drop by at least 50%. Then we will buy them..."

Qian Sihai estimated in his mind and gave an answer quickly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone quickly took over his words:
"Fifty percent? It seems you are still kind. I thought you would wait until the price dropped by 70% or 80% before purchasing."

"Seven or eighty percent is too dark. It's better to leave a way out for everything..."

Qian Sihai was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized that this was not a reply from the middle-aged man next to him, but...

"Who's there?!!"

He immediately shouted.

Han Mo and Lei Mu appeared quietly, but couldn't help but sigh:
"Sure enough, the monks of Linyuan State and the people of the Merchant Alliance are really different. They are totally different from those in other states!"
