Why do I have so many masters?-Chapter 580 - 210: Soar! (6600 Words Mega - )_4

"No, if Jade Ruin Temple has already allied with Red Cliff Sect, why bother informing me?"

Yuchi Jie replied somberly,

"Has elder never heard of the saying, 'When the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'?"

Liu Qizheng, taken aback, heard Yuchi Jie continue openly,

"The strength of Baiyang Sword Sect is immense, with swordsmen as numerous as clouds in the sect. At night, the sound of their swords howling pierces the sky. Only such might can restrain Red Cliff Sect. If Baiyang Sword Sect were devoured, there would be no place for my Jade Ruin Temple to exist."

Liu Qizheng frowned and said,

"But with our power, it is difficult to defeat Red Cliff Sect."

Yuchi Jie, with a sincere expression, consoled,

"Why must we attack proactively?"

"Given the size of Baiyang Sword Sect, and the agreement with Red Cliff Sect and ourselves, one will strike from the front and the other from behind. Elder Liu only needs to have the disciples unsheathe their longswords and remain vigilant at all times, staying behind Red Cliff Sect. They would not be able to do much."

"When the time comes, and they cannot attack Baiyang Sword Sect from behind, as long as we do not confront each other directly, there will be no issue."

Liu Qizheng still hesitated.

Yuchi Jie persuaded him again, "This piece of Jade Marrow is just the first treasure, and there is a second fine item waiting. Once the matter succeeds, it will surely satisfy Elder Liu, and I will stay here to drink tea with Elder Liu."

"If the elder is still not at ease, naturally, you can send a disciple to inquire when Yue Hongzhe plans to depart. He will surely be evasive. By then, the elder can be reassured."

With treasures, a hostage, and even the opportunity to inquire, Liu Qizheng was ultimately convinced by Yuchi Jie. Perhaps it was because he was reluctant to let go of the treasures in his hand. He chuckled, stood up, and said,

"Then, please sit here for a moment, young master."

"I will return shortly."

Yuchi Jie smiled and said,

"Of course, please..."

In the location of the secluded residence of Cangyu,

a young Taoist who was once in a very good relationship with Yuan Cangyu, carrying two jars of wine, strode forward. He sent a disciple inside to pass a message, saying that he wanted to indulge in one last wild drink with Yuan Cangyu as a farewell, and after today, there's no need to hold back in the mountain's skirmishes.

The disciples of the secluded residence recognized this Taoist and, not daring to neglect him, went inside to pass the message.

The naturally hotheaded Yuan Cangyu, plagued by guilt, certainly did not shun this round of drinks. Because of Yuchi Jie's instructions, the Taoist suggested drinking on the mountain pavilion, and since Yuan Cangyu had once cursed the elders as old thieves for not dying, he was naturally a defiant person and agreed without hesitation.

A scholar and a Taoist, just drinking heartily in the cool pavilion among the mountains.

After draining a jar, they shattered the wine jar.

Both thought they were having a farewell drink, acting so magnanimously that it left the disciples of Cangyu's secluded residence dumbfounded.

Yet, the scene had already been observed by an expert from Red Cliff Sect.

After Yuchi Jie left, Yue Hongzhe felt uneasy in his heart, dispatching someone to inquire at the two sects. Unexpectedly, before they could get close, they witnessed such an unguarded scene.

That expert from Red Cliff Sect clenched his teeth, carefully left, and using Qinggong, leaped back to the whereabouts of Red Cliff Sect, reporting the matter to Yue Hongzhe.

The latter's expression gradually turned icy, and then another came to report, saying that people from Baiyang Sword Sect had come to ask when to go up the mountain, but were unclear about their intentions. Another reported seeing the Baiyang Sword Sect disciples with their swords unsheathed, seemingly vigilant towards their sect.

The one speaking had a profound understanding of formations, and after accumulating many merits over the years, had gained Yue Hongzhe's trust.

Yue Hongzhe's expression had turned completely frigid.

It really came to this.

Baiyang Sword Sect and Cangyu's secluded residence were indeed colluding with the disciples of Jade Ruin Temple...

Inside out...

The words spoken by Yuchi Jie echoed in his mind again.

'In such a situation, to retreat is not shameful.'

'On the day Red Cliff Sect pushes into the Candle Dragon's abode, that will be the time to cook the hound. The taste will surely be rich; I wonder if there will be a chance to have a bite.'

The Baiyang Sword Sect's disciple returned and reported to Liu Qizheng the information obtained from Red Cliff Sect. They said when inquiring about the time to go up the mountain, the other party's words were unclear, and they had not exposed themselves.

Liu Qizheng waved his hand, dismissing the disciple, as his face turned increasingly sullen.

Time to go up the mountain unclear?

Thinking of what Yuchi Jie had said – once Baiyang Sword Sect ascends, one will strike from below, the other from above, caught in a pincer attack, and even if he was full of confidence in Baiyang Sword Sect, they'd probably only have one path to death. At this thought, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Yuchi Jie sat among Baiyang Sword Sect disciples, with fine wine and snacks placed on a bluestone beside him, as if fearing he would get bored. Liu Qizheng had arranged for disciples to play games of strategy with him.

Handsome by nature, wearing fine garments and bearing a sword, his demeanor was exceptionally composed. Without a word, he exuded an extraordinary extravagance. Furthermore, with the elder's personal instructions, the Baiyang Sword Sect disciples, who didn't know anything concrete, dared not defy him.

Some beautiful female disciples, constrained by the elder's longstanding authority, even if annoyed in their hearts, could only grit their teeth and let him do as he pleased.

"This elder sister is truly beautiful, I have never seen such a good-looking girl before. May I inquire how to address you..."

Yuchi Jie, with his right hand, played with the delicate hand of a female disciple of Baiyang Sword Sect next to him, regardless of her flushed face, taking advantage with a full face of playful laughter.

With his left hand, he casually picked up a chess piece and dropped it.

And wiped out the big dragon on the chessboard.
