Chapter 339: Plan to Take Back the Myriad Wind Forest (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Currently, the Jiang family didn’t lack resources. What they lacked was people who could use these resources.
Apart from that, Shen Ruyan also successfully upgraded her Five Lightning Immortal Slayer to Level 4.
Moreover, she used the Orchid Lightning Liquid to refine a Level 4 Dharma treasure that could be used to trap enemies. She named it the Orchid Lightning Net.
Once used, not only could it instantly trap the enemy, but the net could also erupt with extremely powerful water-element lightning to paralyze the enemy. Lastly, it was about the Shen family of the Yun Nation.
About five months into their seclusion period, they received a message from the Shen family, saying that they had agreed to move to the Liang Nation. However, before that, they still needed to sell their existing industries and resources.
Especially the Level 3 spiritual vein on the Splendid Jade Mountain.
They had to find a good buyer.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
About half a year ago, the Shen family had already settled everything.
Now, they were waiting for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to go over and lead them to the Liang Nation.
With the assets the Shen family currently had, it was not too difficult to buy a Level 3 spiritual vein in the Liang Nation.
The real problem was how to move their entire family to the Liang Nation.
Such a huge activity would definitely attract a lot of attention, especially from the demon beasts.
If things went wrong, they might be ambushed by the demon beasts.
Fortunately, at this moment, Zheng Pelong of the Ganyang Sect sent a message to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
The content was to invite them to help the Yun Nation take back the Myriad Wind Forest.
For this, the Ganyang Sect had gathered many Golden Core cultivators. However, the key element to this plan was Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan. As everyone knew, because they killed the Wolf King back then, they were wanted by the Level 5 Demon Emperor.
This caused many Level 4 demon kings to have designs on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan. They wanted to take their heads to the Level 5 Demon Emperor to receive rewards.
Unfortunately, the two of them kept staying in the Liang Nation. Even if the Level 4 demon kings wanted to attack them, they could not find a chance.
Last time the couple left the Yun Nation, they kept a low profile and rushed back as soon as they were done.
By the time the Level 4 demon kings found out, it was already too late.
Now, Zheng Pelong wanted to use the two of them as bait to lure out the demon kings in the Myriad Wind Forest and capture them all in one go.
As long as the Level 4 demon kings in the Myriad Wind Forest were dealt with, the remaining low-level demon beasts were naturally nothing to worry about. However, if they wanted Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to be bait, the couple would undoubtedly have to take a huge risk.
Zheng Pelong didn’t have much confidence that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan would agree.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had already arrived at the Yun Nation without alerting anyone and arrived at Zheng Pelong’s cave abode. When they saw Zheng Pelong, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were rather respectful.
In the past, Zheng Pelong had taken special care of the two of them.
They wouldn’t forget this favor.
That was the main reason why Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan came immediately upon receiving the message.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan said, “Senior Zheng, to be honest, on account of you, my wife and I will not refuse to help the Yun Nation take back the Myriad Wind Forest.
However, there is a prerequisite.
We need to know the information on everyone involved in this operation, as well as the information of all the Level 4 demon kings in the Myriad Wind Forest.”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s request, Zheng Pelong immediately nodded and agreed without any hesitation.
“That’s not a problem. 1 can tell you who are involved in this operation.
In fact, you know most of them.
Apart from the three Golden Cores of the Ganyang Sect, Meng Lanzhu and Sage He Yun of the North Cloud Sect, Situ Zhan of the Starlight Sect, and Feng Wuya, who had just advanced to the Golden Core a few years ago,
I also invited the Golden Core independent cultivator of our Yun Nation, Daoist Yi Chen.
Including the two of you, there will be a total of ten Golden Core cultivators.
As far as 1 know, there are only two Level 4 demon kings in the Myriad Wind Forest.
They are our old opponent, the wolf king of the Secluded Mountain, and a Level 4 Poisonous Fire Lizard.
Of course.
This is only the information available to us.
After the news of your arrival is spread, I believe that at least two to three Level 4 demon kings might descend to the Myriad Wind Forest.
As long as we keep it a secret, those Level 4 demon kings will definitely not think that this is actually a hunting operation against them.
It’s also an excellent opportunity for the Yun Nation cultivators to take back the Myriad Wind Forest.”
After hearing Zheng Pelong’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan weighed their options.
They realized that if everything went according to Zheng Pelong’s plan, there was a high chance of success.
However, among the people who were involved, Hong Tianqi of the Ganyang
Sect and Sage He Yun of the North Cloud Sect did not have a good relationship with them.
There was even some hostility.
If they did something out of line, the couple couldn’t guarantee what would happen.
As if reading the couple’s thoughts, Zheng Pelong continued,
“I know that you have some unhappy interactions with Elder Hong of my sect and Sage He Yun of the North Cloud Sect.
To be honest, 1 don’t have a good relationship with the two of them either.
However, you don’t have to worry.
At that time, before the operation begins, all of us will sign a blood oath contract. If anyone dares to play dirty tricks in the operation or deliberately ruin it, not only will they suffer the backlash of the contract, but we will also hold them accountable.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan nodded in approval when they heard that there would be a blood oath contract.
Once one violated it, all kinds of strange disasters would befall him.
Now, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had no objections to helping Zheng
Pelong and the others take back the Myriad Wind Forest.
However, before they agreed, they had to make clear the corresponding remuneration and the distribution of the spoils of war.
On this matter, Jiang Chengxuan raised three conditions.
First of all, the two of them had to take 30% of the spoils of war and have the right to choose first.
Secondly, they wanted three sets of cultivation technique manuals below Level 4 or cultivation techniques.
Jiang Chengxuan naturally wanted these things for the other Jiang family members.
After all, currently, the Jiang family lacked such inheritance the most.
Although in the past, the Jiang family had obtained many similar things from outside, they were not complete and systematic.
It was unlike true sect inheritances that could be cultivated and learned step by step.
Regarding this, Zheng Pelong said that it shouldn’t be a big problem.
After all, what Jiang Chengxuan wanted was only inheritances below Level 4.
He would not be too stingy with that.
As for the last condition.
It was to ask them to help the Shen family move to the Liang Nation..
