High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 234 - 143: Disciple Cang Xing, Paying Respects to Martial Saint! (Triple - )_3
Huangfu Yan scrutinized Chen Kuang, squinting his eyes, and said, "So it really is you."
He sighed, "That old fellow Mu Zhao really got played around by you."
Chen Kuang said with a faint smile, "Is Si Zheng standing up for the Martial Saint?"
Huangfu Yan replied, "Our Divine Farmer Bureau and the Martial Saint Pavilion are not on the same path."
Chen Kuang said, "Then... what about the Mountain and Sea Alliance?"
Huangfu Yan was noncommittal: "People like Uncle Wang Yang are not few and far between. Ultimately, what the Divine Farmer Bureau desires now is just ’status’, so sometimes turning a blind eye can be very simple."
He sighed, "But the philosophy of our Divine Farmer Bureau has been around for over a thousand years, and wanting to change it isn’t something that happens overnight."
Chen Kuang said, "I can see, Si Zheng is indeed willing to cooperate."
Huangfu Yan: "With great enemies at the gate, Mr. Chen must know our situation is the same as yours."
Huangfu Yan understood that since the puppet he awakened was an elder of the Mountain and Sea Alliance, he would definitely not be able to bypass the Mountain and Sea Alliance when trying to communicate with the people from the Divine Farmer Bureau.
Now his real body needed to suppress the situation outside Zangfeng State, so if he wanted to counter Wen Chi inside Zangfeng State, it would be better to leverage the power within.
Chen Kuang turned to look at the others in the secret chamber, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?"
Everyone silently looked at "Kui."
"Kui" looked at Huangfu Yan and said, "The conflict between the Divine Farmer Bureau and the Demon Race is irreconcilable."
To make the Divine Farmer Bureau abandon its philosophy is nearly impossible.
Huangfu Yan smiled and said, "Can’t reconcile with the Demon Race, but also with the Mountain and Sea Alliance?"
"Kui": "..."
His pupils contracted, instantly understanding Huangfu Yan’s intention.
Indeed, there were also conflicts within the Demon Race.
The Mountain and Sea Alliance, although an enemy of humans, was relatively neutral and mild among them, and it was impossible for forces to coexist peacefully.
Because they opposed humans to protect the weak demons who only wanted to survive.
But some demons acted out of pure malice towards humans, committing cruel slaughter without purpose.
Huangfu Yan’s meaning was clear: the Divine Farmer Bureau could not refrain from killing demons, but they could spare the demons of the Mountain and Sea Alliance.
This aligned with the interests and demands of the Mountain and Sea Alliance.
However, it was also an open trap.
If the Mountain and Sea Alliance’s demons weren’t targeted by the Divine Farmer Bureau, it would inevitably make other demons suspicious, making the Mountain and Sea Alliance the target of many.
Yet, the Mountain and Sea Alliance was already struggling.
Because most demons simply wanted a peaceful existence and didn’t wish to engage in conflict, the Mountain and Sea Alliance was always in a weak position.
And many, like Wu Man, chose to cooperate with the Divine Farmer Bureau.
Without this opportunity, perhaps... the Mountain and Sea Alliance wouldn’t last long.
"Kui" pondered for a long time and then looked up, saying, "Agreed."
Huangfu Yan and "Kui" immediately established a Divine Soul Contract, setting several rules, reaching a temporary consensus.
"Alright... your problem is solved, let’s deal with my problem now."
Chen Kuang clapped his hands and said.
Everyone’s attention turned back to him.
Huangfu Yan looked past him and at Mo Xu, who appeared bewildered, thinking momentarily: "Is this... the person chosen by the Martial Saint?"
Chen Kuang said, "Precisely."
"With just us, I’m afraid it’s hard to resist King Jingnan’s army."
Huangfu Yan raised an eyebrow, "Therefore... you plan to ally with the Martial Saint Pavilion?"
The person before him was a true nemesis of the Martial Saint Pavilion... Huangfu Yan had some guesses about Chen Kuang’s plans.
But so what? Just like he said, the Divine Farmer Bureau and the Martial Saint Pavilion aren’t allies.
Chen Kuang smiled and said, "Then I’ll rely on Si Zheng to cover for me."
What he wanted was for the Divine Farmer Bureau to directly testify to prove Mo Xu’s "Martial Saint" identity.
Mo Xu, now understanding, was horrified, whispering anxiously, "I can’t... how could I deceive the experts of the Martial Saint Pavilion, I- I don’t know what to do..."
Chen Kuang just smiled faintly and said meaningfully, "You will know."
"When you stand before those people, you are the Martial Saint."
...
Within the Yang Kingdom, there were also people from the Martial Saint Pavilion.
Among them, in Zangfeng State, was the one nicknamed "Tracing Blood to Plum Blossoms," Cang Xing.
He himself was at the Grandmaster Realm, and the Mei Sect he established was also a considerable force, especially since Cang Xing was a Body Cultivator, as were his disciples.
The Mei Sect was located between the mountains at the edge of Zangfeng State.
Cang Xing stood atop a peak behind the Mei Sect, gazing at Zangfeng State being ravaged by the army led by Wen Chi.
Within Zangfeng State’s cities, half of them were shrouded in smoke and engulfed in raging fires.
Wherever the army passed, those who did not submit were killed.
Cang Xing did not intend to participate in the internal political struggles of the Yang Kingdom, especially with Saints involved. He had already ordered the mountain to be sealed, to reopen after the matter had passed.
Who led the Yang Kingdom had little to do with the Mei Sect, so why bother seeking trouble?
However, Cang Xing’s plan was destined to fail today.
"What... the Martial Saint personally arrives?!"
Cang Xing’s pupils contracted as he looked at the disciple hurriedly reporting.
The disciple was also sweating profusely, saying, "Yes! Right now at the mountain gate!"
He shook his head again, "No, no, it’s not a personal arrival, it’s the Spirit-Subduing Technique!"
Cang Xing grabbed the disciple, demanding, "Are you certain?!"
The Spiritual Qi across all of Zangfeng State was sealed, and though he was a Grandmaster, his Divine Sense was sealed, making it impossible to search.
The disciple nodded repeatedly, saying, "It was personally accompanied by the Si Zheng of the Divine Farmer Bureau! And that person is the young man who was once subjected to the Spirit-Subduing Technique!"
