Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 185: Big Senior Sister’s Plan

“Big Senior Sister, this is your plan?”

“Of course.

“Vice Creed Leaders Liu and Gao only know about the third and fourth backup bases, so the Everlasting Creed will definitely move to the fifth backup site, but its location is still unknown to us. This is why I need the three of you to use the reason I have provided you to gain Tang Yunsheng’s trust and get him to take you to the original base. The Everlasting Creed would have evacuated in a hurry, so there’d definitely be many spies staying behind in the vicinity to inform the others how to head to the new backup base.

“When the three of you and Tang Yunsheng show up nearby, it will attract the attention of the Everlasting Creed’s followers. From the creed’s perspective, it is likely that the three of you have been captured by the Dao-Seeking Sect and converted into double agents, so you mustn’t be trusted.

“But Tang Yunsheng is different. The Everlasting Creed is aware that he has been lurking outside the Dao-Seeking Sect, so he wouldn’t have been captured. He is someone they can trust. Only with him guiding you to the original base will the Everlasting Creed accept you and tell you the real location of the base.

“The ultimate objective of this plan is for you to earn the Everlasting Creed’s trust.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy repeatedly nodded at the side, finding it a terrific idea.

~~~

Tang Yunsheng had been hiding around the meeting spot near the Dao-Seeking Sect, waiting anxiously for updates from the vice creed leaders. He had watched the Dao-Seeking Sect seeing the Five-Elements Sect off, but there was still no sign of the vice creed leaders and the other higher-ups.

A sense of foreboding grew in his heart. It’s over! They must have been captured by that damn Dao-Seeking Sect!

After waiting the whole day, Tang Yunsheng finally noticed Lu Yang and the other two scampering toward him in a sorry plight.

“Why are there only the three of you? Where are the rest?!” Tang Yunsheng shook Lu Yang by the shoulders.

Upon hearing Tang Yunsheng questioning him, Lu Yang’s vacant eyes welled with tears, and his lips quivered, finally bursting into sobs.

“Vice Creed Leader Liu...all of them...they failed! When Vice Creed Leader Liu took out the immortal treasure to unleash his divine abilities, an expert hiding in the Dao-Seeking Sect suddenly resisted the power of the immortal treasure and engaged in an all-out battle with the whole group!”

Meng Jingzhou also began wailing as the tragic scenes played out in his mind. “Vice Creed Leader Liu and the others refused to surrender, and that damn Dao-Seeking Sect beat them to death!”

Man Gu only wept, not uttering a single word—he had forgotten his lines.

The trio cried their hearts out, their heartfelt grief evident.

“What?!” Tang Yunsheng was in disbelief as his knees buckled under him. Two vice creed leaders and five higher-ups have all fallen into the hands of the Dao-Seeking Sect? How will I explain this when I go back?!

“Wait a minute, why are the three of you fine?” Tang Yunsheng suddenly thought of a problem. The vice creed leaders and the higher-ups only managed to enter the Dao-Seeking Sect through their barbeque shop, so the Dao-Seeking Sect would definitely suspect these three.

Lu Yang calmed himself. “Vice Creed Leader Liu left a sigil in our minds to disguise us as puppets controlled by his formidable mental power. That’s why the Dao-Seeking Sect let us go.”

“Then you three should have continued staying undercover in the Dao-Seeking Sect.”

The three of them are spies that are hard to come by.

Lu Yang shook his head. “Even if it wasn’t our fault, no one else would tolerate us after something like that happened. Our business is ruined, and people will be pointing fingers behind our backs. There’s no longer a place for us in the Dao-Seeking Sect.”

Tang Yunsheng patted Lu Yang on the shoulder. “It has been tough on you guys.”

Lu Yang’s eyes gleamed with visceral hatred as he declared, “Sacrificing ourselves for the Everlasting Creed is nothing at all. But I will never let the traitor get away!”

“Traitor?”

Meng Jingzhou nodded vigorously, his eyes also smoldering with resentment and malice. “Vice Creed Leader Liu and the others had such an impeccable plan, and they even had our support from the inside. If there hadn’t been a traitor, how could they have failed?

“Before Vice Creed Leader Liu passed away, he secretly transmitted an auditory message to us and revealed the traitor’s identity. He told us to return to the Everlasting Creed in one piece and expose the traitor!”

Tang Yunsheng’s expression turned grim. “Who is the traitor?”

This is no small matter. The raid on the Dao-Seeking Sect was a secret operation only known to a few people within the creed, and all of them are high-ranking and influential members. Suspecting anyone could lead to huge complications!

Lu Yang stated the identity of the traitor, “It’s the third vice creed leader, Vice Creed Leader Jin!”

“It’s him?!” Tang Yunsheng’s voice rose in pitch. As the idea sank in, he felt that it did make sense. There are altogether three vice creed leaders. With two vice creed leaders dying, the position of creed leader will eventually fall upon the person who remains standing.

Everything adds up now.

“Let’s go! We must quickly report this to the creed leader!” Tang Yunsheng realized the gravity of the situation, and they set off posthaste.

Now, the trio were no longer spies but witnesses.

Tang Yunsheng took the trio to head south on a flying vessel. When they arrived at a large city, they alighted and traveled another three hundred li into the mountains and wilderness.

“Inspecting Officer Tang, is the headquarters here?” Lu Yang looked around for traces of an ancient cave ruin.

Tang Yunsheng’s face twisted into a cruel smile. “You three reckless fools still want to go to the headquarters? We might not even make it there before getting slaughtered by assassins sent by Vice Creed Leader Jin!

“Besides, who can guarantee that the creed leader isn’t involved? It’s also possible that the creed leader has accepted Vice Creed Leader Jin’s plan for the stability of the Everlasting Creed and decided to get rid of us.

“If we go to the headquarters, it’s no different from walking straight into a trap! Whoever gets embroiled in this kind of power struggle between the higher-ups will only die. I’m not interested in being a part of it.

“The safest option right now is to kill you three little brats and escape to a place with no one else!”

Tang Yunsheng was very rational. Ferreting out the traitor? What does that have to do with me? As a diabolic cultivator, survival is the top priority!

I’ll just find a random place in the wilderness and kill these three until nothing but ash remains of them. The Everlasting Creed will be none of my concern then!

With my Nascent Soul cultivation, killing these three Foundation Establishment brats will be as effortless as flipping my palm!

Lu Yang, “...”

Meng Jingzhou, “...”

Man Gu, “...”

This was quite a deviation from Yun Zhi’s plan. Things had already gone wrong at the second step. They had indeed obtained Tang Yunsheng’s trust, but that didn’t mean that he was willing to take them to the Everlasting Creed.

Lu Yang asked Yun Zhi in his mental space, “Big Senior Sister, what do we do?” What other brilliant tricks do you have up your sleeve?

Yun Zhi was as indifferent as ever, but when faced with Lu Yang’s question, her gaze suddenly faltered for a moment before she stared at Lu Yang and said in an unruffled manner, “No need to worry, everything is going according to plan.”

The change in Yun Zhi’s gaze was very subtle, but it didn’t go unnoticed by Lu Yang, who had spent a long time with her.

She’s clearly feeling guilty.

Lu Yang suddenly recalled some past events, such as when Yun Zhi had prepared him a boiling water bath to temper his body and how she had misinterpreted the Moon Laurel Celestial Palace’s request as a marriage proposal.

Big Senior Sister is unfamiliar with the ways of the world.

She may seem calm and perfect in whatever she does, as if she has everything under control, but in reality, it’s because her expression never changes that gives people this false impression.
