In a separate backyard of the Heavenly Pass City Lord Mansion, the security here was quite lax, but no one dared to break in. Even the people from the mansion wouldn't come here.
Everyone knew that two months ago, the City Lord's Mansion welcomed some guests who were arranged to stay in the backyard by the City Lord. The people of the City Lord's Mansion all left the backyard.
In the beginning, there were only two people. However, over the past two months, many people had arrived one after another.
After coming here, they didn't say anything and were a bit sneaky. The people from the mansion were already used to this.
However, some of these people came and left while others stayed. Even the City Lord himself didn't know how many people came to his backyard.
Sometimes, he didn't dare to ask when he saw people coming in and out. Vaguely, the mansion knew that these people were not simple, but they didn't know what kind of agreement they reached with the City Lord.
At this time, in the inner hall of the backyard, two old men were sitting across from each other. The old man had white hair and beard, but both of them had a ruddy complexion. Their faces looked like young men, and a dignified aura was hidden around them. One could see that their cultivation and status were not low.
In the middle was a small table with several dishes on it. Stir-fried chicken, braised beef, fried crispy peanuts, teppanyaki bear heart, stewed wolf leg …
These were all dishes that went well with wine. The two raised their cups and drank, feeling quite uncomfortable.
One of the old men took a sip of spirit wine and said: "Second Elder, Yun Shisan has entered the Lu Clan not long ago. Outside of a few unworthy juniors, Lan Yunting and Ye Xuanying from the Eagle Claw Sect are also here."
The old man called Second Elder shook his head and said: "No rush, let's wait first. There are three more people. Daoist Jing, you have to stay calm. Even though we were instigated by the Purgatory Hall, the most important thing was that we couldn't stay calm.
At that time, we didn't know the details of the Qinglian School at all. We only relied on the information from the past and the one-sided words of the Purgatory Hall. Our Hall Master didn't listen to our advice, and your Clan Leader should have done the same. That's why our two forces were defeated. "
"That's right. My brother didn't listen to our advice and was bewitched by the Purgatory Hall. Not only did he lose his life, but he also lost hundreds of our Green Nether Clan's men. He shouldn't have done that."
This person was none other than a member of the Green Nether Clan. Moreover, he was the younger brother of the Green Nether Clan's former clan leader, Jing Yunfeng, Jing Yuntao.
Jing Yunfeng had died in the Qinglian School, leaving the Ancient Green Nether Clan without a leader. He was not the only one in power. There were other clan brothers as well. Everyone wanted to be the new clan leader, but no one was willing to submit to anyone.
Jing Yuntao's influence in the Ancient Dark Tribe was slightly greater, but the pressure he faced was also greater. If he dared to jump out, he would definitely be suppressed by everyone.
At this moment, the Second Elder of the Soul Hall, who was the elder in front of him, found him.
The two of them had a secret plan. If he could make some contributions and become the clan leader after returning, no one would be dissatisfied. Even if they were dissatisfied, it wouldn't be a big deal.
If he could take revenge for his clan, or even destroy the Qinglian School, it would be even better if he could take control of the Qinglian Secret Territory. At that time, he would gain the support of the Ancient Green Nether Clan and no one would be a threat anymore.
He didn't just want the clan leader's position. He was also heartbroken that so many people had died in the Ancient Green Nether Clan.
Moreover, Jing Yunfeng was his blood brother. They had a good relationship. They also supported each other in the Ancient Green Nether Clan. He really wanted to take revenge.
The Second Elder of the Soul Hall knew this, which was why he found him.
As for the Soul Hall, they weren't worried either. The death of the First Elder, Hun Dingtian, was nothing to the Soul Hall.
There were countless experts in the Soul Hall. The death of the First Elder was enough to make the Hall Master go to war. As for why they were doing this, perhaps only the Hall Master knew.
Jing Yuntao gently put down the wine bottle and said to the Second Elder, "Qingyue of the Qinglian School is only a remnant Soul Essence. However, it will be difficult for her to leave the Qinglian School. You haven't told me. What's your plan?"
The Second Elder shook his head and said confidently, "Actually, you should have guessed our plan. As for Qingyue, there's nothing to be afraid of. The Soul Hall plays with the Divine Soul. Besides, she's only a Soul Essence. There's no need to worry about her. The other two are the most important."
Jing Yuntao nodded and said, "It's good that Second Elder is confident in dealing with Qingyue. The other two shouldn't be difficult for you. However, I don't know where they come from. I'm afraid their strength is no lower than the Cold Spring Realm."
"Hehe …"
The Second Elder smiled sinisterly and said, "Your guess is too conservative. We can't find out where they come from. However, our Hall Master guessed that they should be titled Earthly Immortals.
However, we can't think of two titled Earthly Immortals like them. In the Spiritual World, it's neither big nor small. However, the circle of titled Earthly Immortals is only so big. There shouldn't be any titled Earthly Immortals that we don't know.
However, even if they aren't titled Earthly Immortals, their cultivation should be at the Yin Spring Realm. We still can't be careless. "
"Yin Spring Realm?"
Jing Yuntao was shocked. He didn't have the strength to deal with such experts. Not to mention him, even the Ancient Clan of the Green Nether didn't have any experts at the Yin Spring Realm. The only one at the Cold Spring Realm, Jing Yunfeng, had died in the Qinglian School.
The Ancient Clan of the Green Nether was not as prosperous as it was in ancient times. After the Qing Tian they worshipped was sealed, the Ancient Clan of the Green Nether slowly declined.
They went through the Middle Ages and the Antiquity Ages. Now, the Ancient Clan of the Green Nether was no longer as glorious as it was in ancient times.
Although they did have experts at the Yin Spring Realm, it was no longer suitable for them to cultivate in the Spiritual World.
The cultivation of an Earthly Immortal of the Yin Spring Realm in the Spiritual World was very slow. If they continued to cultivate like this, they wouldn't have any new breakthroughs in their lives.
The Earthly Immortals of the Yin Spring Realm who stayed in the Spiritual World either had ties or were confident in their cultivation talent. Even so, they would still go to the Earthly Immortal Realm after a while.
However, the entrance to the Earthly Immortal Realm had been blocked. It was impossible to enter the Earthly Immortal Realm unless someone could break the Sword Soaring Heaven and Earth set by that person, or that person could remove the Sword Soaring Heaven and Earth.
Titled Earthly Immortals were even more difficult to deal with. Although a title didn't represent one's strength, only those who had created a Dao or reached the peak of a Dao were qualified to be titled.
Jing Yuntao widened his eyes and asked the Second Elder cautiously, "If those two are really experts at the Yin Spring Realm, do you have a way to deal with them?"
The Second Elder said confidently, "You don't have to worry about that. Since we dared to come, we have confidence. You don't have to worry about those two and Qingyue."
"How do you plan to deal with Yun Shisan?"
Jing Yuntao didn't believe that the Hall of Souls would dare to kill Yun Shisan. That person's strength was beyond their imagination. A Sword Soaring Heaven and Earth had been set up at the entrance to the Earthly Immortal Realm, and no one had been able to break it for hundreds of years.
Even if the strength of the Spiritual World was limited, what about the Earthly Immortal Realm?
The Earthly Immortal Realm didn't lack Earthly Immortals of the Ninth Realm and Nether Spring Realm. Even if the Spiritual World couldn't break the Sword Soaring Heaven and Earth, there must be someone in the Earthly Immortal Realm who could break it, right?
However, for hundreds of years, no one had been able to break it. That person's strength was beyond their imagination.
If someone really dared to kill Yun Shisan, the entire Spiritual World would be turned upside down and blood would flow like a river.
"We're not fools. At most, we'll capture him and interrogate him. We can't kill him." The Second Elder gave the answer.
They also didn't dare to take Yun Shisan's life. After all, their plan this time wasn't very confidential. As long as someone was interested, they would be able to find out that it was them who did it. If they really killed him, the Hall of Souls would be wiped out.
If they killed him secretly, they would have to do it secretly and not let anyone know. Moreover, they would have to have the means to deceive Yin and Yang. Otherwise, it would still be divined.
If that was the case, they could kill him. However, they didn't dare to do so now.
"Interrogate him?"
Jing Yuntao was stunned. He wasn't a fool. The Hall of Souls probably wanted to get the Heavenly Retribution Secret Technique from Yun Shisan. Such a Secret Technique was too powerful. No one wouldn't want it.
This was something that everyone coveted. As long as they could get the Heavenly Retribution Secret Technique, if it was in the hands of an Earthly Immortal expert, even if it was just a Black Spring Realm Earthly Immortal, with the Heavenly Retribution Secret Technique, the entire Spiritual World would be at their mercy.
The Second Elder didn't deny it. He nodded and said, "You've already guessed it. He's just a side trip. We won't kill him. At most, we'll torture him a little."
In this way, even if Yun Tianlin knew about it, he wouldn't do anything. At most, the Hall of Souls would give some compensation. Although the compensation wouldn't be light, it couldn't be compared to the Heavenly Retribution Secret Technique.
Moreover, their target this time wasn't Yun Shisan. They had other plans.
"Then I'll risk my life to accompany you. What plans do you have?"
The Second Elder shook his head and snorted, "I'm not a gentleman. Does the Spiritual World not know that the Hall of Souls is a rat in the dark?
If you say that we're gentlemen, not only will we be laughed at, but we'll also attract hatred. "
"Hehe …"
What else could Jing Yuntao say? He could only laugh dryly.
"As for the plans, you'll know soon. Coincidentally, we need your help. We'll wait for two days, and then …"
The Second Elder lowered his voice and revealed his plan. At this time, everyone was in the same boat. Moreover, the arrow was already nocked on the bow. He wasn't worried that Jing Yuntao would ruin the plan.
Since they were allies, if they wanted to work together, they had to reveal some of their secrets. They couldn't let their allies lose confidence or be bitterly disappointed. The Second Elder knew very well what to say at what time.
Hearing the Second Elder's explanation, Jing Yuntao felt much better. His dissatisfaction with the Hall of Souls was instantly thrown away. His eyes shone brightly.
However, he still felt that something was wrong. He said, "Second Elder, I think your plan is very good. It's very clever. As long as this plan succeeds, the Qinglian School won't be a problem. However, at this time, isn't it …"
"You mean?" The Second Elder asked curiously.
"Two days might not be enough. Give me two more days. However, we can do this for the time being …" Jing Yuntao whispered into the Second Elder's ear.
"Pa ~"
The Second Elder slapped his thigh and gave a thumbs up. He smiled slyly and said, "Clever, very clever. This way, we can lure those two out and deal with them first. As for the formation, our Hall Master will personally take care of it. We just need to take care of the other problems."
