Starting With 100 Million Lives
Chapter 53: What a Brilliant Plan
CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 53: WHAT A BRILLIANT PLAN
"How would I know? You’re such a troublemaker, you must have offended so many people."
The Three-Eyed Tiger was gloating.
Serves you right!
You’ve been smug for so long, and now you have a headache?
However, upon hearing its analysis, Jiang Cheng not only didn’t get a headache, he almost clapped his hands in excitement and nearly jumped for joy.
"That’s fantastic!"
"Haha, regret it... right... huh?"
The Three-Eyed Tiger was a bit dumbfounded.
What kind of reaction is this?
It seems completely opposite to what I anticipated.
"Kid, what are you pretending for? To be honest, he hasn’t run far. With my strength, Master Tiger, catching him is a piece of cake, but you have to agree to two conditions..."
It had already thought it through.
Taking this opportunity to blackmail Jiang Cheng, forcing him to hand over the ’remaining’ summoning talisman and terminate the Sect Guardian Spirit Beast contract.
Unfortunately, before it could finish stating its conditions, Jiang Cheng hurriedly stopped it.
"No, definitely don’t catch him back!"
"He’s come all the way here and didn’t commit any serious offense. Isn’t it rude to capture him?"
"We’re a prestigious sect now, how can we have such a barbaric way of entertaining guests?"
The Three-Eyed Tiger observed repeatedly and found that Jiang Cheng didn’t seem to be speaking sarcastically.
"Are you insane? There’s an enemy in the dark scheming against you, and you’re happy about it?"
"Why shouldn’t I be happy?"
Brother Cheng was almost ready to sing aloud to celebrate.
Finally, someone wants to come after me again.
He didn’t have a target to aim at, and now someone has willingly delivered themselves to him.
Without a doubt, there must be a significant force behind that Yun Cang, right?
He was so excited that he started rubbing his hands.
"How do you think they will deal with me? Oh, I hope they are as powerful as possible."
The more powerful the enemy, the more abundant the spoils.
As for how to defeat the enemy?
Is that something to think about?
With three daily opportunities of undying, Brother Cheng has long given up thinking about strategies to deal with enemies, just charges right in.
Why bother with plotting or scheming? That’s redundant, isn’t it?
"Really looking forward to it!"
Seeing the joyful figure of Jiang Cheng, the Three-Eyed Tiger was in disarray, and it started to question if the world had gone mad.
This shouldn’t be.
Something must be wrong somewhere!
Meanwhile, on the other side, filled with rage, Qi Cang, after leaving the Feixian Sect, flew thousands of miles and randomly found a small town to massacre in a frenzy.
Although Jiang Cheng was ruthless, he at least waited until someone provoked him before acting.
But Qi Cang needed no reason; being in a bad mood was reason enough.
Returning to the Eight Clouds Hall, his wrath gradually subsided, and he summoned Lu Zhong over.
"The plan to infiltrate the Feixian Sect failed."
"You were discovered by them?"
Lu Zhong found it somewhat astounding. With Qi Cang’s cunning and ability, it shouldn’t have been possible to mess up in a small place like the Feixian Sect.
Qi Cang recalled carefully, shook his head, and replied with a sullen face.
"Probably not."
In his opinion, if Jiang Cheng had uncovered his identity, he should have summoned that Tiger Demon to capture him.
At the very least, with his Seventh Layer Spirit Platform cultivation and the backing of a Divine-grade Spirit Platform, he should have been able to fight him.
But he didn’t do that, he merely drove him away.
"Since he didn’t uncover your identity, we can still continue to strategize."
"How to strategize?"
"Replace the magpie’s nest and take over!"
"Explain in detail!"
"We can command the Duanmu Family and various prefectures to attack the Feixian Sect..."
Lu Zhong had barely started when Qi Cang interrupted him.
"With that Tiger Demon there, they can’t break in at all. It’s a death sentence."
The Duanmu Family, along with surrounding prefectures, probably had thirty or forty Spirit Platform Realm cultivators. This lineup looked strong, but compared to that Tiger Demon of at least Celestial Fate Ninth Layer, it was insufficient.
Lu Zhong waved his hand dismissively: "Young Master misunderstood, I didn’t expect them to directly capture the Feixian Sect."
"Hmm?"
"Just besiege them without attacking!"
Qi Cang’s eyes suddenly lit up, realizing what he meant.
"You mean, seize this opportunity to plant people in the Feixian Sect?"
With the Feixian Sect besieged by so many factions, it was in imminent danger.
At this point, the Eight Clouds Hall could disguise itself as the hero by sending a batch of experts in, under the guise of upholding justice and providing help.
An offer of help from the prestigious Eight Clouds Hall couldn’t be refused by Jiang Cheng, could it?
He would probably be very grateful!
And once those experts got inside and took control, who knew if the Feixian Sect would still belong to Jiang?
By then, perhaps even the Tiger Demon... might take sides with the Eight Clouds Hall!
"Brilliant plan, brilliant plan indeed!"
Qi Cang clapped and laughed heartily, as if he could already see Jiang Cheng’s miserable fate.
Days later, a bombshell announcement spread throughout the prefectures under Feiyun State.
The Duanmu Family of Qinglan Prefecture, the Qian Ning Castle of Qian Ning Prefecture, the Void Wind Sect and Celestial Nether Sect of Chongyan Prefecture, the Dragon-Surprised Family of White Dragon Prefecture, the Liuli Sect, Namo Sect, and Blood Killing Valley of Wuding Prefecture, all formed a temporary anti-Jiang alliance.
Eight Sects collectively issued a declaration.
The Sect Leader of Feixian Sect, Jiang Cheng, behaves atrociously, cruelly and unjustly, exterminating Five Sects and causing the people of Qinglan Prefecture to live in terror and desperation.
For the liberation of millions suffering in Qinglan Prefecture, the Five Mansions and Eight Sects have resolved to form an alliance to crush the Feixian Sect!
Effective immediately, any Feixian Sect disciple found outside will be killed unconditionally!
Any family or sect found associating with Feixian Sect will be destroyed without reason!
Upon the release of this declaration, Qinglan Prefecture was in an uproar.
Many cultivators, upon seeing this declaration, were a bit bewildered.
Oh, so we are living in such misery?
So we are all living in fear and can’t make ends meet?
How come we didn’t know about it?
The Feixian Sect hasn’t done much harm, really, aside from wiping out those Five Sects, they’ve been staying secluded behind their doors, hard to even catch a glimpse of.
Moreover, the destruction of those Five Sects actually improved the lives of many small families and loose cultivators in the surrounding areas.
After all, without those giant sects oppressing them and contesting for resources, these low-level cultivators have much more room to maneuver.
And the most significant point — many still regret not being able to join the Feixian Sect.
This is just bewildering.
At this time, Duanmu Zhe had already gathered with the Sect Leader Elders of the other sects.
The Eight Great Sects, in this endeavor, deployed as many as 31 Spirit Platform Realm cultivators.
The strongest among them was the Void Wind Sect’s Sect Leader, Master Jiuluo of Chongyan Prefecture, whose realm had reached the Eighth Layer Spirit Platform.
This kind of power, not even the Duanmu Family in the past, with Duanmu Hong and Duanmu Pool still alive, dared to provoke easily.
"Gentlemen, what do you think of this siege?"
As the local host in Qinglan Prefecture, Duanmu Zhe had to take the lead.
Master Jiuluo lifted his eyelids and said indifferently, "What else is there to think? The order from the Young Master of Eight Clouds Hall, who among us dares to defy?"
The Fortress Master of Qian Ning Castle, Dong Hai, said fiercely: "That Feixian Sect needs to be sanctioned indeed, they’ve been in the spotlight too much lately, even the talented disciples from our Qian Ning Prefecture have been heading over to take their assessment."
