Leng Shiqi, Wu Deyao, and Zhuge Puhe walked in different directions after leaving Wind Whispering Tower.
Leng Shiqi didn't go straight to the west gate. Instead, he turned into a small alley and sank into the ground to take out the jade slip he just bought.
What was recorded inside was the information regarding the Extreme Fire Manor!
His eyes flashed with astonishment as he scanned the jade slip with his mental power.
The words on the jade slip were densely packed. It actually recorded everything that had happened since the establishment of the Extreme Fire Manor until now!
This was simply the chronicles of Extreme Fire Manor!
Perhaps even Extreme Fire Manor didn't have such detailed records. Wind Whispering Tower's information gathering ability was truly the best in the world!
Leng Shiqi calmed down and carefully read the information, trying to find an opportunity.
The first half of the information didn't have any practical value, and it was all from a hundred years ago. However, there was one thing that caught Leng Shiqi's attention.
According to the information, Extreme Fire Manor was built on top of an extinct volcano. Although this volcano was extinct, it still contained a large amount of earth fire energy.
The disciples of Extreme Fire Manor could use the earth fire energy to cultivate, and it was truly half the work.
However, the earth fire energy was abnormally violent and couldn't be cultivated for long periods of time. As a result, the cultivation speed of the disciples was limited.
Therefore, Extreme Fire Manor thought of a way to suppress the violence of the earth fire energy by consuming the ice water from the Extreme Cold Spirit Pond.
However, the Extreme Cold Spirit Pond wasn't unique to Extreme Fire Manor. It was located between Extreme Fire Manor and Bipolar Mountain Manor.
Bipolar Mountain Manor was a second-rate faction, and it wasn't any weaker than Extreme Fire Manor. There were people from Bipolar Mountain Manor among the people who chased after Leng Shiqi in the Illusory Spirit Realm.
Bipolar Mountain Manor cultivated the Ice and Fire Dual Cultivation Method, and they also needed the Extreme Cold Spirit Pond.
Therefore, there were many conflicts between these two forces regarding the Extreme Cold Spirit Pool. However, they did not completely shed all pretense of cordiality and fight to the death.
It was not that they didn't have such thoughts, but every time this happened, the Discipline Commission of Donglin County would come out to mediate for the sake of stability.
Although Eastwood's Discipline Commission's presence was weak, it was still not something a second-rate sect could afford to offend.
Thus, gradually, the Extreme Fire Manor and the Bipolar Mountain Village began to discuss having their young disciples compete every three years. The winner of two out of three matches would obtain the right to use the Extreme Frost Spirit Pool for three years!
This rule had been maintained for several decades now. Both sides had their share of wins and losses. However, in the past few years, the Extreme Fire Manor had won both competitions.
Coincidentally, a month later was the time for the two sides to compete again!
Leng Shiqi's mind spun, and a plan faintly emerged in his mind.
After that, he went to the West City Gate to meet up with everyone. Dongfang Qi immediately asked him about the information.
Leng Shiqi vaguely said, "Although the Wind Listening Tower's information is detailed, we still need to rush to the vicinity of the Extreme Fire Manor to obtain some of the latest information before looking for an opportunity to make our move."
He only gave a rough explanation and didn't mention the Extreme Cold Spirit Pond in detail. Dongfang Qi and Di Chuan were both well aware of this, but Leng Shiqi was the leader on the surface after all. They couldn't question him directly and could only rush to the Extreme Fire Manor together.
— — —
Saning City was a city located a hundred miles away from the Extreme Fire Manor. Disciples of the Extreme Fire Manor and the Bipolar Mountain Village would often appear here.
After Leng Shiqi and the rest arrived, they spread out to gather information about the Extreme Fire Manor.
Because the competition for the right to use the Extreme Cold Spirit Pond was imminent, many spirit cultivators treated this as a topic of conversation after meals. This allowed them to gather quite a bit of information.
Very quickly, they felt that this might be a good opportunity for them to make their move!
Bu Yangqiu suggested, "The Extreme Cold Spirit Pond is very important to the Extreme Fire Manor. Although the competition is said to be a competition between low-level disciples, some experts of the Extreme Fire Manor will definitely go.
Why don't we take this opportunity to sneak into the Extreme Fire Manor and get rid of the experts of the Four Realms of Celestial Being first? "
"No way!"
Di Chuan immediately disagreed, "Let's not talk about whether we can sneak into the Extreme Fire Manor smoothly with so many people. Besides, there are three experts of the Gang Spirit Realm in the Extreme Fire Manor!
If we are accidentally detected by them, how many of us are confident to leave safely? "
Dongfang Qi also felt that Bu Yangqiu's idea was a bit presumptuous. He said, "Why don't we intercept those who come to participate in the competition halfway and then shift the blame to the Bipolar Mountain Village? Let them fight because of this, and then we can reap the benefits!"
His idea immediately gained the support of more than half of the people, but Leng Shiqi shook his head.
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Dongfang Qi's eyes, "What's your opinion, Brother Liu?"
Leng Shiqi glanced at Dongfang Qi. Dongfang Qi's little movement didn't escape Leng Shiqi's observation.
"How can it be so easy to shift the blame?
What reason and motive does the Bipolar Mountain Village have to kill those people of the Extreme Fire Manor?
Even though the Bipolar Mountain Village has lost twice in a row, they clearly know that they are evenly matched with the Extreme Fire Manor. It's impossible for them to rashly kill the disciples of the Extreme Fire Manor. This will only make the two sides fall out completely, which will do no good to anyone.
And once we fail, the Extreme Fire Manor will be on high alert, and it will be very difficult for us to take action again. "
This time, Di Chuan suddenly stood on Leng Shiqi's side, "Brother Liu is right. We only have one chance to take action. We must succeed in one stroke!"
Dongfang Qi's idea was rejected by Leng Shiqi and Di Chuan one after another, which made him a bit embarrassed.
However, Leng Shiqi changed the topic, saying, "Of course, Brother Dongfang's idea is right. Let the Bipolar Mountain Village and the Extreme Fire Manor fight!"
He gave Dongfang Qi a way out.
Delta Aurigae stood out at this moment and said, "Brother Liu should already have a plan in mind. Why don't you tell us?"
Leng Shiqi immediately raised three fingers and said, "The key to this matter lies in three people. They are Zhu Lean, Wan Shaoyuan, and Ji Yilan."
Everyone had been inquiring about the Extreme Fire Manor today, so they knew that Zhu Lean was the only son of the Extreme Fire Manor's master. He was also the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation.
He was already at the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm at the age of 20, and he had also learned the Extreme Fire Absolute Sword from the Extreme Fire Manor. He was quite famous within a radius of several hundred kilometers.
As for Wan Shaoyuan and Ji Yilan, they didn't know who they were. They also didn't understand why Leng Shiqi would mention these two unfamiliar names.
At this moment, Lian Ye muttered, "Ji Yilan, Ji Yilan from the Shaning City's Ji family?
I heard that Zhu Lean seems to be very fond of this Ji Yilan. Could it be that you want to take action from this? "
Leng Shiqi nodded and said, "That's right, but it's not just Zhu Lean who likes Ji Yilan. The genius disciple of the Bipolar Mountain Village, Wan Shaoyuan, is also the same!"
