Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 903 - 492: Fire Cloud Palace (2 Updates)_2

At the Red Shining Immortal Palace, all present were inner disciples and elders.

Seeing Qin Mengying respectfully leading a masked man, they all showed curiosity.

Walking over seven hundred meters, Su Jie followed Qin Mengying to the Great Sun Cloud Palace of the Red Shining Immortal Palace.

As he entered, a figure was already waiting there.

Su Jie locked eyes with him, and both were measuring each other.

This person was tall and robust, with arms as strong as horse runners, bald with a fiery red beard, the color incredibly pure, like a blazing flame, giving off a powerful oppressive aura.

Just standing there, he resembled an active volcano about to erupt, with terrifying fire attribute spiritual power hidden within.

Seventh realm of the Daoist Platform, Su Jie estimated this man’s strength, knowing that such a powerhouse at the peak of the Daoist Platform Realm was beyond his current ability to contend with.

"You must be Chu Sect Master of the Fire Cloud Palace, I’ve long admired your name."

Su Jie slightly cupped his hands in respect, removed his mask, and greeted him.

"Elder Su, it is your reputation that precedes you. I’m just a washed-up old fellow, whereas you young ones of the newer generation are vibrant, playing Guan Chao Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance in your palm."

Chu Yangang smiled warmly, without using his status to put on airs.

"Elder Su, sit down. I’m a rustic man and not used to tea. This is the spiritual wine brewed by us at Fire Cloud Palace, which I’ve treasured for a hundred years. See if it suits your taste."

"You’re too kind, Chu Sect Master. This spiritual wine is a rare treat, I’m taking advantage today."

"Haha, Elder Su, drink as much as you like."

"Chu Sect Master, you’re indeed generous."

With laughter and conversation, the two sat down facing each other.

Qin Mengying closed the door then, approached them, and helped pour tea and wine.

Su Jie took a sip of the wine, immediately feeling a refreshing sensation penetrate through his lungs, followed by a rich aroma that was yet clear. The wine, filled with spiritual power, was like divine nectar; a sip made his body warm as the spiritual power within him became exceptionally active.

Clearly, this was a fine wine brewed from various rare spirit fruits, priced at tens of thousands of spirit stones, showing Chu Yangang’s regard.

"Chu Sect Master, my purpose must have been informed to you by Miss Qin, so I will not beat around the bush. How do you view our mutual cooperation?"

Su Jie put down his wine glass, his expression turning serious as he brought up the main issue.

Chu Yangang also put away the pleasantries and spoke: "Elder Su, this cooperation you’re speaking of, are you representing yourself, or Ghost Ridge Palace?"

Su Jie replied calmly: "Not long ago, I was just promoted to the Saint Heir of Ghost Ridge Palace. To a certain extent, my will also represents the will of Ghost Ridge Palace."

Su Jie’s words were not baseless. Before Su Jie set out on the flying magical boat, Zhang Junwei had given him considerable authority.

And given Su Jie’s current association with Ghost Ridge Palace, outsiders couldn’t separate Su Jie from it. Su Jie’s enemies would naturally see opposition to him as opposition to Ghost Ridge Palace as a whole.

Chu Yangang understood immediately, not doubting the truth of Su Jie’s words. With Su Jie’s talent and combat power, becoming the Sect Saint Son was quite reasonable; it would be unreasonable if he hadn’t attained it.

"Regarding cooperation, our Fire Cloud Palace is very interested. I would like to hear Elder Su’s plans, what do you intend to do about the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance and Guan Chao Pavilion?"

Chu Yangang responded without hesitation, not caring about Su Jie being a Demon Cultivator, only interested in whether this enemy could be dealt with promptly.

Guan Chao Pavilion was a nemesis to Fire Cloud Palace, and the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance was always trying to claim the top spot of the Qing Province Righteous Sect. Chu Yangang was eager to eliminate these two sects immediately.

If Su Jie could accomplish that, help weaken Guan Chao Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance, then Su Jie would be Chu Yangang’s staunch friend and good brother.

Qin Mengying’s beautiful eyes blinked, also turning her gaze over, curious about Su Jie’s cooperation plan.

Su Jie slowly took another sip of wine, speaking unhurriedly: "My plan is simple, lure the snake out of its nest."

Chu Yangang became eager, couldn’t wait: "Elder Su, please elaborate."

As he spoke, he actively poured more wine for Su Jie, showing his impatience.

Su Jie didn’t hesitate further, explaining his plan: "Both Guan Chao Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance have lost a Taoist Platform Realm elder at my hands. Now their desire to kill me is intense, they would certainly seize an opportunity to mobilize core forces to besiege me.

At this moment, it requires Fire Cloud Palace’s assistance. The other parties are unaware of your cooperation with me, as long as you coordinate well, we can effectively ambush and decimate the vital forces of Guan Chao Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance."

Upon hearing Su Jie’s plan, Chu Yangang pondered and asked: "What if Guan Chao Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance deploy more forces than we anticipated?"

Fire Cloud Palace couldn’t fight two at once, otherwise, they would have already annihilated Guan Chao Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance. If these two sects value Su Jie excessively and dispatch numerous strong warriors, then who would kill whom would be uncertain.

"This is the crux of the issue; your Fire Cloud Palace needs to apply pressure, ensuring the forces dispatched by Guan Chao Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance are limited, and then covertly draw power, siding with me, to catch them off guard."

Su Jie laid out the plan. It’s not complicated: exploit Guan Chao Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance’s intent to kill him, bait them into scattering their forces, and then devour them.

If the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance and Guan Chao Pavilion relied on their sect or stuck together, Su Jie would have no chance. They need to be lured out first, into the trap, where Su Jie’s side would have the upper hand.

"Excellent plan. Recently, Guan Chao Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance lost Zhong Xinpeng and Murong Yue, formidable forces within them. We have reasons to threaten and force them to withdraw their forces."

Chu Yangang clapped his hands, immediately thinking of a specific course of action in line with Su Jie’s topic.

"Guan Chao Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance might seek support from other Righteous Sects, which we need to guard against. Qing Province is something for Chu Sect Master to handle, although I believe it’s not a major issue. On my part, I will include myself and persuade the Ghost Ridge Palace Sect Master and Heavenly Soul Sect Master to partake in this encirclement."

Su Jie continued to elaborate, knowing the Qingzhou Righteous sect revolving around Guan Chao Pavilion could certainly find Taoist Platform Realm reinforcements.

"Haha, Elder Su, rest assured. In Qing Province, the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance is not in charge; once we at Fire Cloud Palace speak, no one will dare to support a Ten Thousand Sword Alliance excursion."

Chu Yangang confidently made a guarantee, with Fire Cloud Palace being the dominator of Qing Province. The Ten Thousand Sword Alliance was still a notch below, even in borrowing external aid, it couldn’t surpass Fire Cloud Palace.

As Chu Yangang thought further, his excitement grew. Fire Cloud Palace already possessed significant strength, coupled with a powerhouse like Su Jie, who also spoke of Taoist Platform Realm reinforcements, increasing their odds further.

"What if they don’t fall for it?"

Qin Mengying, engrossed, couldn’t help but interject.

Su Jie had hidden for so long; she thought that Su Jie revealing himself suddenly might rouse Guan Chao Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance’s vigilance, potentially alerting them.

Su Jie smiled lightly, saying: "I’m quite confident in my actions because I have a trump card; they would never expect this to be a trap for them."

"What is the trump card?"

"Qing Province borders Chongzhou to the west, a continent prolific with the Demon Path. If I were to host an auction there, they would surely be eager to attend."

"What would you be auctioning?"

Qin Mengying blinked, looking puzzled and confused.

Gradually, Qin Mengying finally realized what Su Jie was implying, understanding why Su Jie was so confident.

If that’s the item up for auction, Guan Chao Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance would be more than eager.
