Chapter 305: Conspiracy

Chapter 305: ConspiracyTranslator: Cinder Translations

"You've come to find me for a frank discussion, so you must have a plan to deal with Zhou Xuelin?" Song Wen asked.

Zhou Siyi nodded in response.

"Zhou Xuelin gave me a set of secret weapons called 'Blood Plunder Feather,' which is laced with deadly poison. Foundation-building cultivators will die upon contact."

"My plan is to remove the deadly poison from the Blood Plunder Feather and replace it with a common poison. Then, I will use the Blood Plunder Feather to injure you, causing you to get hurt but not mortally."

"After that, I will pretend to be captured by you, and you will take me to Fang Pengyi. I will then accuse Zhou Xuelin of being the mastermind behind the scenes, intending to sabotage the integration of the Mystic Qi."

"Fang Pengyi wants to take the sect master position, and since he wants to eliminate Zhou Xuelin, he will definitely report this matter to the First Elder."

"At that time, the First Elder will surely take action against Zhou Xuelin, and I can also ask the Elder to help me lift the Soul Lock Curse."

After hearing this, Song Wen shook his head.

"If we act according to your plan, Zhou Xuelin will be imprisoned for a while at most. The sect won't execute a Golden Core cultivator over such a trivial matter."

"Unless you and I defect from the Beastmaster Sect, otherwise, once Zhou Xuelin regains his freedom, we will face his immense wrath."

Seeing that Song Wen disagreed with her plan, Zhou Siyi's heart suddenly felt flustered.

She knew very well that Song Wen had

options and didn't necessarily have to cooperate

with her to deal with Zhou Xuelin.

Zhou Siyi asked, "Junior Brother Wu, do you have a better strategy?"

Song Wen replied, "If we are going to strike Zhou Xuelin, we must do so with a single lethal blow."

Zhou Siyi's eyes brightened.

...

That night, deep into the night.

Zhou Siyi looked pale and disheveled, appearing severely injured as she walked out of Song Wen's cave and flew toward Spirit Beast Peak.

Beneath her pained expression lay a heart filled with unease.

If Song Wen's plan could succeed, it could indeed place Zhou Xuelin in a position of no return.

However, this plan required her to take a huge risk, while Song Wen wouldn't need to take any risks at all.

In order to eliminate Zhou Xuelin, Zhou Siyi had no choice but to choose to take the risk.

A moment later, she arrived outside Zhou Xuelin's cave.

Passing through the restrictions outside the cave, she entered.

Suddenly, her figure stumbled, falling to the ground as a large amount of fresh blood gushed

from her mouth.

Inside the cave, shadows flickered.

Zhou Xuelin appeared in front of Zhou Siyi, looking down at her coldly.

"How did you get so badly injured?"

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, Zhou Xuelin clearly perceived that Zhou Siyi's internal organs were severely damaged and that there was a surge of lightning power rampaging within her.

It could be said that her life was in danger.

Zhou Siyi struggled to raise her hand and grabbed Zhou Xuelin's ankle.

"Father, please... save me... cough cough..." Sёarᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As she spoke, she spat out more blood.

Since Zhou Siyi still had some value, Zhou Xuelin was unwilling to let her die like this.

Zhou Xuelin unleashed a surge of spiritual power, dissipating the lightning inside her.

After Zhou Siyi spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood, her breath gradually stabilized.

"Who injured you?" Zhou Xuelin asked again.

"Wu Sheng," Zhou Siyi replied.

"You went to assassinate him? What was the result?" Zhou Xuelin asked urgently.

Lying on the ground, Zhou Siyi slowly said, "Wu Sheng is not as simple as he appears. He was caught off guard by my surprise attack and was injured by the Blood Plunder Feather, but he didn't die on the spot. Instead, he countered with lightning techniques and severely injured

me."

"After that, he activated a seventh-level formation to protect himself, and then he fainted."

"I was too severely injured to break through that formation, so I could only return to report."

Zhou Xuelin's expression darkened, and a murderous aura erupted from his eyes.

"So, you mean to say that not only did you fail to kill Wu Sheng, but you also fled to my cave?

Do you want to drag me into sharing the blame for the assassination of Wu Sheng?"

Zhou Siyi was filled with panic.

"No, it's not like that. I came because I have very important information to report to you."

"In Wu Sheng's cave, there are seven second-tier human snakes. One of the female human snakes is about to reach the state of abundant Mystic Qi."

Zhou Siyi spoke quickly, as if afraid that if she slowed down even a little, Zhou Xuelin would

kill her.

"What! Wu Sheng has managed to cultivate the human snakes to the state of abundant Mystic Qi? How is that possible?"

Just over three months ago, Wu Sheng had only managed to fuse the human snakes to produce

a trace of weak Mystic Qi.

To achieve the state of abundant Mystic Qi in such a short time? Was the first trace of Mystic

Qi the hardest to produce?

Once the first trace of Mystic Qi appeared, would it rapidly grow stronger?

Zhou Xuelin's mind was in turmoil, filled with anxiety.

His rationality told him that the human snake corpses couldn't have reached the state of

abundant Mystic Qi so quickly.

But since this was Zhou Xuelin's first encounter with 'Mystic Qi,' he was completely unaware

of how quickly it could grow.

Zhou Xuelin became extremely anxious and restless.

If what Zhou Siyi said was true, then the position of sect master would fall into Fang Pengyi's

hands.

A strong sense of unwillingness surged within him.

Zhou Xuelin's gaze turned cold and ruthless.

"I cannot allow Fang Pengyi to take the sect master position; the next sect master can only be

me."

Suddenly.

Zhou Siyi raised her hand and handed a token to Zhou Xuelin.

"This is Wu Sheng's identity token. He was carrying it with him, and it fell out after I

ambushed him."

"The fact that Wu Sheng has been poisoned and injured hasn't been discovered by anyone yet. There is still a chance to kill Wu Sheng and steal that second-tier human snake."

Zhou Xuelin infused his spiritual power into the identity token and drew it into his hand.

He sensed it briefly and confirmed that it was indeed Wu Sheng's identity token.

Afterward, he hesitated a bit.

He wanted Song'

dead but didn't want to do it himself.

Killing Song Wen would definitely provoke the First Elder's wrath.

However, Zhou Siyi's earlier words had given him a reminder.

If he could control the human snake that was about to reach the state of 'abundant Mystic Qi'

in Song Wen's cave, it should help dissipate the First Elder's anger.

For the First Elder, what mattered was the human snake with 'abundant Mystic Qi,' not a fully

realized 'abundant Mystic Qi' person.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Xuelin's gaze turned cold as he stared at Zhou Siyi.

"What you're saying isn't a lie, is it?"

Zhou Siyi hurriedly replied, "My life is in your hands; how could I dare to deceive you? I only

hope you can keep your promise and lift the 'Soul Lock Curse' on me."

Zhou Xuelin's gaze was icy as he silently stared into Zhou Siyi's eyes, not saying a word.

Zhou Siyi felt a chill run down her spine.

Zhou Xuelin's gaze filled her with inexplicable fear, yet she dared not show any sign of weakness and could only force herself to meet his gaze.

After about ten breaths, Zhou Xuelin took out a healing pill and gave it to Zhou Siyi to

swallow, using his spiritual power to refine it and temporarily stabilize her internal injuries.

Zhou Siyi could not die yet; he needed her as a scapegoat.

Zhou Xuelin concealed his aura and, with Zhou Siyi, moved under the cover of night to outside

Song Wen's cave.

After confirming that no one was around, he activated Song Wen's identity token to unlock

the cave's restrictions.

He used his spiritual sense to probe inside the cave, and indeed, there was a second-tier

formation within.

The formation covered most of the cave, including the snake pit.

While the defensive power of this formation was not particularly strong, it had a very

effective concealment capability.

Even as a Golden Core cultivator, Zhou Xuelin could not perceive any movements within the

formation.
