Chapter 136: Betrayal

Chapter 136 Betrayal The cave fell into silence. Hu Yandao lowered his head and looked deep in thought. Everyone was staring at him. No one knows what decision he will make and we are all waiting for his final decision. After a while, Hu Yandao said slowly: "Again, this is just your story. I need to verify its authenticity. If Su Yuanzong really comes to silence me after knowing the news, then I will believe what you said." Shi Chun and others breathed a sigh of relief, as this was considered a promise to cooperate. "Okay, I'll follow Brother Huyan's arrangements." Shi Chun responded seriously, feeling amused in his heart. If he put himself in the other person's shoes, he would know that the other party could not resist the temptation of being the first. "Wait for me to arrange it." Hu Yandao nodded slightly, then turned his head and ordered: "Junior Brother Mao, arrange a place for them to stay." The man named Mao Zhong at the side immediately extended his hand to invite Shi Chun and others, "Please follow me." Shi Chun and the others immediately covered themselves with the tarpaulin again and said goodbye. "Brother Chu, please stay for a moment." Hu Yandao called out to Chu Jingtang who was about to leave with him. Chu Jingtang had no choice but to stay and asked him, "Brother Huyan, what do you want?"

Hu Yandao waited until Shi Chun and the others jumped out of the cave before asking, "Is that beautiful woman their junior sister? I remember Su Yuanzong seemed to have spread a message saying that Wang and Gao's junior sister was raped and killed by someone from Shengzhou, and that all parties should not let that Bai go if they meet her." "Bai Shuchuan." Chu Jingtang reminded him directly. He had been repeatedly indoctrinated with the truth. "They also thought she was dead. Later, she used the mother-child talisman to contact them. They didn't know how she got away, and they couldn't ask her. Alas, she has been abused to the point of being abnormal. Now she is depressed and taciturn, and doesn't even talk to anyone." Hu Yandao frowned and tightened his cheeks, "A good person was ruined like this. From Shengzhou, Bai Shuchuan, right? Junior brother, you must remember this person. If you really meet him, you must not let him go. He really dares to bully us Xuanzhou. There is no one left." When he received the message from Su Yuanzong before, he didn't feel anything. But when he saw the person today, he was angry just thinking about how such a beautiful person was harmed by a villain. Who isn't? The remaining junior brother, named Jin Zaogong, also couldn't bear the humiliation caused by Xiang Lan'er's beauty, so he nodded and said, "Remember, if Bai Shuchuan from Shengzhou falls into my hands, I will not let him go." Hu Yandao turned around and asked again: "Brother Chu, do many people know about Su Yuanzong's matter?" Chu Jingtang said: "I'm not sure. I don't know if he has told anyone else besides us." Hu Yandao said, "Oh!" and then said earnestly, "Brother Chu, this is not a trivial matter. Don't spread it before it is verified." Chu Jingtang nodded repeatedly, "Of course I know this, and I would never spread it around. But I estimate that this is most likely true. When Wang and Gao were detained by Yan Ji, many of us saw it with our own eyes. Later, they disappeared inexplicably. Alas." He shook his head and sighed, which seemed to imply that people's hearts had changed. Hu Yan said: "Well, Brother Chu has long been admired by me, and I can trust him. Go back and rest first, and I will find a way to arrange the rest." "Okay, okay." Chu Jingtang bowed and said goodbye. With no outsiders in the cave, Jin Zaogong showed a look of joy, and approached his senior brother, "Senior brother, Wang Sheng's method is not bad. If we follow this method, at the last moment, we don't have to do anything to win the championship. My Yuanjian Palace will be famous all over the world, and you, the champion, will also be famous all over the world. After returning, we can secretly explain our efforts to the master, which will surely be another great achievement!" Hu Yandao squinted and asked, "Do you think it's so easy to get the first place in Xuanzhou?" Jin Zaogong was slightly stunned. "We don't need to do much. We just need to go with the flow and it will be within our reach. How can we not get it?" Hu Yandao pondered and shook his head slightly, saying, "If he hadn't mentioned helping me win the championship, I would still be a little hesitant, worried that the Su Yuan Sect would do something bad to us. But when he mentioned winning the championship, it made me sober up and reminded me of what the sect told me before I left." Jin Zaogong was surprised, "What did the sect say?" Hu Yandao sighed softly, "The sect has instructed us not to compete with Su Yuanzong for the first place. They also specifically instructed us not to take the first place even if we have the chance. We should try our best to support Su Yuanzong in winning the first place. I was full of ambition at the time and didn't understand, so I asked why. The sect explained that the Suyuan Sect was not only the largest sect in Xuanzhou, but also the largest sect in Shengshenzhou. It was powerful and deep-rooted. Whether it was the Heavenly Court or the Royal Court, there were some taboos that even the Domain Lord had to give some face. As long as Xuanzhou could take the first place, the Domain Lord would not care who was the first in Xuanzhou. You should be able to understand the reason. If the sects from other continents win the battle against Su Yuanzong, their domain lords will be very happy. If Su Yuanzong dares to openly attack, their domain lords will definitely not sit idly by, otherwise where will their face be, and who will be willing to obey them in the future? If the sects from other continents win, Su Yuanzong may not be in any trouble. Some things are like this. It is better to fight against foreign enemies than to lose to one's own family.

Anyway, the general idea is that the gap between the strength of our Yuanjian Palace and Su Yuanzong is too huge. If we do not deserve the position, and forcibly seize the first place, it will only cause trouble for ourselves. We will do our best to support Su Yuanzong to get the first place. If our Yuanjian Palace has the opportunity to get the second place, Su Yuanzong will know what to do if he knows a little bit. " Hearing this, Jin Zaogong was a little discouraged, "Then why did you agree to Wang Sheng..." When he said this, he raised his head and asked, "Brother, do you want to betray him?" Hu Yan said: "If you can get first place without doing anything, then my Yuanjian Palace will take it. If I help to pretend behind the scenes, then I will never touch the first place. Who can guarantee that this matter will not be spread out in the future? It will ruin the reputation of Su Yuanzong. Once Su Yuanzong knows that it is my Yuanjian Palace who is behind it, it will be more serious than stealing their first place. I will definitely take revenge. Fortunately, the sect reminded me in advance, otherwise I would have been blinded by greed and followed Wang Sheng's path. If I had such a handle in his hands, wouldn't I have been unable to sleep or eat? So it's not a matter of betrayal. I just obeyed the sect's wishes and tried my best to support Su Yuanzong to win the championship." Jin Zaogong sighed, nodded slightly and said, "Brother is right. Since the decision has been made, we will obey it." Hu Yandao turned around and said, "Go back and tell the other junior brothers. I'm going to go to Mulan Qingqing and have a talk with her." Jin Zaogong was somewhat worried and asked, "What if Su Yuanzong has evil intentions and wants to silence me?" Hu Yan said, "Not yet. Before Wang Sheng and his men are dealt with, Su Yuanzong will not dare to do anything to me. If I dare to go to their door, they will naturally have to think twice. After I go, you guys should also make some backup preparations, just in case." "Okay." Jin Zaogong nodded in agreement. Hu Yandao strode forward, walked to the entrance of the cave, took out a wind scale, cast a spell to control it, and his figure quickly disappeared into the starry sky. We traveled straight for more than 800 miles. He landed in a valley with a little purple flame. After being informed, he received a reply that Mulan Qingqing wanted to see him. Also in a newly opened cave, Mulan Qingqing, Guan Yingjie and Chao Zhilin are all there. Chao Zhilin personally went to the cave entrance to welcome him in, "Brother Huyan, you came here so late at night, I guess you have something important to tell me." Not many people receive such treatment, and it can be regarded as a reward for the support from Yuanjian Palace for their Su Yuan Sect. "Nothing." Hu Yandao perfunctorily greeted the other two people in the cave with a bow, and his eyes finally fell on Mulan Qingqing, who was standing with her hands behind her back, wearing a white dress as white as snow and carrying a sword. He smiled and said, "I'm bored late at night, so I came here on a whim to sit down." Guan Yingjie and Chao Zhilindun looked at each other in silence. The cold Mulan Qingqing frowned slightly and nodded to her two fellow apprentices. Guan and Chao immediately understood and left. After no one else was in the cave, Mulan said, "Huyan, you and I have worked together for so long, you can speak frankly." Hu Yandao didn't beat around the bush and stared at her expression before responding, "Wang Sheng and Gao Qiang are still alive!" Even though Mulan Qingqing was always calm, she couldn't control herself at this moment. Her expression suddenly changed, her eyes were like cold stars, and she stared at the other person's eyes. Huyan Dao understood instantly. There was no need to say anything more. What Wang Sheng said was indeed true. He didn’t know what Su Yuanzong and his gang were thinking. They really did that kind of thing. They looked like a smart group, so how could they not even deal with people like Wang Sheng and Gao Qiang? Who the hell is Youxiashan? It's not well-known and no one has even heard of it. How could a disciple from such a remote sect escape from Su Yuanzong alive? He couldn't understand why. After a long silence, Mulan Qingqing did not ask what the two were doing, but asked directly: "Where are they?" Hu Yan said: "He was with me, but he was afraid that he would be silenced. He took the initiative to find me today, and I have temporarily stabilized him." Mulan Qingqing: "What do you want?" Hu Yan said: "I have always supported you, you know that, how you want to deal with it is up to you."

Mulan Qingqing: "Tell me, what are the conditions?" Hu Yan said: "You should be able to feel my feelings for you. If I tell you that I want you to marry me, will you agree?" Mulan Qingqing: "For Suyuan Sect disciples to marry, the sect must agree. It's useless for me to agree, especially for a disciple like me who is regarded as a popular one in the sect. Of course, if you insist on this condition, I can agree to it." I'm just about to ask, do you dare to use this to threaten me? A trace of bitterness flashed across Hu Yandao's face, and he asked himself, "Do you dare?" He really didn't dare. He thought about it. She was so beautiful and outstanding, which man would not like her? But the gap in strength between the two sects was too great. They were not a good match. He had no right and no confidence to speak up. I didn't want to take up this topic, but changed the subject and asked, "Are we friends?" Mulan Qingqing said without hesitation: "Yes! If you can help me this time, you will be my best friend besides Su Yuanzong." That incident had a huge impact on the sect's reputation. It was a big mistake she made, and she was willing to make amends at all costs. She was not joking just now. As long as the other party dared to ask, she would really agree to marry him. Even if the other party asked her to marry him now, she would agree without hesitation. Hu Yandao smiled and said, "Please treat me to a meal after you get out." Mulan Qingqing said neatly: "No problem." Hu Yandao said simply: "I will lure people to wherever you want to solve the problem, and you can arrange the manpower yourself." (End of this chapter)
