Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 1052 - 534: What One Seeks (Part 2)

The Blood Demon chuckled and said,

"This is actually simple. I put the snake’s head in the Lu family’s warehouse in advance, and then privately collaborated with their general in front of the Nangong family.

Lady Nangong is a narrow-minded fool but has some wit. She is most wary of internal and external collusion. Recently, someone told her that the Lu family secretly used demon blood for alchemy. Of course, she couldn’t trust me and wanted to seize everything for investigation. Wasn’t it easy to mix in and deceive everyone?"

Zheng Jian was silent for a moment,

"Evil demons and heretics, truly deep schemers."

The Blood Demon laughed,

"The calculations and setups in this world aren’t that complex. Everyone is smart and naturally, great minds think alike. It’s just a matter of turning the trick into an opportunity and using ease to combat labor.

But I’m truly surprised that your Heng Mountain played this move even earlier! While everyone is trying to curry favor with Nangong now, you’ve been secretly operating here for hundreds of years! I guess the Shangqing Dao has long regarded Li Jiang as its own!"

Zheng Jian snorted coldly,

"Same to you! Your sect’s plotting isn’t any different! In the end, the grand game in the Central Plains has already decided the outcome, the Immortal Palace has been devoured by the Cloud Platform! The north will soon fall into the hands of the First Seat, there’s nowhere left to compete! We can only place pieces on the edges for the future!"

The Blood Demon cackled,

"If that’s the case, we should form an offensive and defensive alliance, supporting each other. Wouldn’t it be better to jointly resist Lingxu? With so many treasures in the Nangong family, aren’t there enough to share between us? Why hurt each other with Dark Swords, insisting on mutual destruction?"

Zheng Jian sneered,

"Evil demons and heretics, talking nonsense! No matter what, he is the leader endorsed by our Mystic Sect, the First Seat of the Cloud Platform! What are you? Enough talk! If you want to seize my body, prove it with your skills!"

"Cackle! Fine! Let’s see your skills!"

The Blood Demon laughed, transforming into a Blood Eagle and swooping down!

As the trivial chat ended, Zheng Jian wasted no time. He flicked his hand, shook the magic bell, "Ding ding dang dang!" blasted out a light wave, instantly smashing the Blood Eagle’s Dharma Manifestation into powder! Even with one blow, Zheng Jian didn’t stop! He lifted the magic bell again, his palms unleashed, using all his mana, striking the bell, activating the scriptures!

"Yin and Yang as coal, nature as craft! Refine my form and spirit, cast this great bell! The Primordial Dao sounds, the great cave bell!"

"Buzz——!"

The bloody sky, the illusion of the Primordial Spirit, the world transformed by the Primordial Spirit, all disintegrated and disappeared with the bell’s toll, utterly collapsing!

In an instant, countless divine thoughts clashed, and after the Primordial Spirit battle, Zheng Jian opened his eyes, glanced at the treasury before him, scanned the fat monk shattered by his sword, blood and flesh scattered all over. He shook the blood-drenched Daoist robe, rose from the shredded meat in his sleeves, and spoke slowly.

"I originally thought this scheming fat man was also a person of the Mystic Sect, and endured until the end to strike.

Unexpectedly, this man hid a trick of the Blood God’s son’s great method, counterattacking upon his death, almost tricking me.

Fortunately, I had the heavy treasure bestowed by the master to protect me, avoiding this deadly disaster. I apologize for the embarrassment I caused, Fellow Daoist."

Zheng Jian didn’t rush to collect the treasure spread all over the house but walked slowly outside the tower, staring at the White-Haired Elder standing like a brush, hands behind his back in front of the tower, and bowed,

"Master Lu."

"Mr. Zheng."

Master Lu looked at the bloodstain on Zheng Jian’s sleeve,

"It seems this round was won by Mr. Zheng."

Zheng Jian nodded,

"The Divine Sect’s Primordial Spirit Technique is certainly strong, but the mountains calculated early on that I would face this difficulty, and granted me a magic treasure to deal with it."

"Indeed, the Mystic Sect’s skills are superior. In that case, my preparations are unnecessary."

So Master Lu casually tossed aside what was wrapped in a blood-stained monk’s robe.

Zheng Jian glanced at the bloody package, sighed,

"Why did Master have to be so ruthless, she was just a fool, knowing nothing. Pity, such a pity..."

Master Lu scoffed,

"Victory comes on the bones of a thousand, what does a woman matter? If you do it, do it thoroughly. Since you’re going to swallow this batch of heavenly materials, there must be no survivors involved. Otherwise, the General Mansion will definitely figure it out, such a simple truth, do I need to explain further?"

Zheng Jian nodded,

"Good, makes sense, but I have just fought a battle, my Qi Power is greatly consumed, and I discovered something during my exploration. Before doing things thoroughly, I want to ask a few questions."

Master Lu wouldn’t be so petty, he waved his hand,

"Please."

Zheng Jian looked at him,

"I heard that fat man say someone secretly tampered with my Frenzy Blood Pill. That must have been you, right? Were you planning to kill two birds with one stone, not only to eliminate the Nangong family but also take us down in the process?"

Master Lu calmly,

"Yes."

Zheng Jian frowned,

"You leaked the information to the Beast Cage to eliminate traitors, lured him to wipe out his private soldiers, and gave the Frenzy Blood Pill to Pan Zhang, right?"

Master Lu stroked his beard,

"Indeed."

Zheng Jian shook his head,

"Why go through so much trouble, if the Nangong family grew suspicious, wouldn’t it give them an early warning, adding many variables? Surely not just to sow confusion and distance yourself from it, right?"

Master Lu chuckled,

"What do you think?"

Zheng Jian was silent for a moment,

"I think you belong to the Divine Sect."

Master Lu laughed,

"Mr. Zheng, you didn’t just come up with that, did you?"

Zheng Jian sighed, calculated with his fingers,

"I have been watching him create havoc from behind the scenes, taking action only at this moment, not just considering the safety of my family, but also observing his abilities, always keeping the bigger picture in mind, preventing harm to the significant matters of Fuguo. It would result in unending turmoil in Li Country, irreparable for a century.
