Chapter 381: Chapter 23: Seeing Tang Ji again_1

Xuli Sect.

The green peaks cluster together.

Within the palace on the highest peak.

“Did Zhang Tailai really say that?”

“Did Zhu Rong speak with these brothers before?”

Sect Master Lin Boyue of Xuli Sect looked down at Zhuang Yi and Wang Tang beside him, and couldn’t help asking.

Zhu Rong is the Valley Master of Huifeng Valley.

“Yes, I heard Zhang Tailai say that himself! The most crucial part is that he plans to get in contact with other Golden Core rogue cultivators, and when the time comes, elect Shen Fu as the Sect Master, and establish another sect!”

Zhuang Yi gravely said: “Although most of it might just be a joke, we need to stay on guard!”

However, Lin Boyue frowned and looked at Wang Tang who was standing behind Zhuang Yi.

“Wang Tang, you tell me what you think.”

Wang Tang respectfully replied, “Yes.”

Immediately, he recounted the events that took place at Wang Ba’s residence.

Last but not least, he seriously said, “What Elder Zhuang said is all true. We must pay attention to this Shen Fu.”

Hearing Wang Tang’s words, Lin Boyue fell into deep thought.

Then he slowly shook his head and said: “This Shen Fu is indeed trouble, even managing to make Zhang Tailai stand up for him. I may have underestimated him a little before. To make contact with the Yuan brothers, I suppose there must be other motives.”

“However, the key point is, it seems that those rogue cultivators are rallying once again.”

In Lin Boyue’s eyes, a stern light flickered.

Seeing this, Zhuang Yi hesitated and asked, “Does the Sect Master mean… we need to fight against those rogue cultivators?”

Lin Boyue glanced at Zhuang Yi, somewhat exasperated.

His brothers, each of them had a decent cultivation base, but they were somehow not very insightful.

And Zhuang Yi was already among the best of them.

He shook his head and said:

“Of course not.”

“Even if we do want to suppress these rogue cultivators and prevent them from snatching resources from us, now is not the time.”

“At least, not until we’ve taken possession of Zhenling Palace.”

“So we just let them unite? That won’t work!”

Zhuang Yi was immediately worried.

Hearing this, Lin Boyue sighed again, shook his head, and without answering he turned to Wang Tang standing behind Zhuang Yi.

“Wang Tang, what should we do with such a situation?”

When Wang Tang heard Lin Boyue’s direct question, he didn’t feel nervous at all. Instead, he furrowed his brows in thought:

“In my opinion, the rogue cultivators are rogue because they might look like they get along, but in reality, they don’t trust each other.”

“We don’t have to confront them directly; as long as we break their connection, dismantle their trust, we can disintegrate them with ease!”

“And looking at it now, Shen Fu, Yuan Wenzhi, and Zhang Tailai are likely very important connections.”

“Exactly.”

Hearing this, Lin Boyue nodded approvingly at Wang Tang.

“What?”

Zhuang Yi was still somewhat confused.

Glancing at the bewildered Zhuang Yi, Lin Boyue shook his head internally, then said:

“The pair, Yuan Wenzhi and Zhang Tailai, individually are mediocre, yet together they can match up to any three mid-phase Golden Core cultivators.”

“The key point is that these two people, one overt, the other covert. If any of them make a mistake, it would create big trouble for us so for now, it’s not suitable to act.”

“So, at the moment, there’s only one person we can deal with.”

“Shen Fu!”

Zhuang Yi finally reacted, and hurriedly said.

“Yes, you’ve finally understood.”

Lin Boyue sighed.

Zhuang Yi was once again at a loss, but I kept saying we should take on Shen Fu right from the outset!

“Though Shen Fu is indeed a talent, with your previous reaction and attitude, we have already offended him. In light of the current situation, I suspect that that old fox Zhang from the Danlong School has already started trying to influence him. For us to reel Shen Fu back is next to impossible. It’s also my fault, if only I knew it was that old fox Zhang who was behind this…”

After a pause to think, Lin Boyue realized he really couldn’t take the blame for this.

Because even if he knew it was Master Zhang from Danlong School behind this, he wouldn’t have the suitable men for the job. His brothers, they could decimate an opposing sect, but dealing with these double dealings was a different game. They would most likely just confuse themselves.

And while Wang Tang was sharp-witted, he lacked the strength to contend with a Golden Core cultivator.

In the end, he could only sigh and say:

“It’s a bit regretful indeed, but in comparison to the greater goal of the rise of the sect, a mere Shen Fu is not worth mentioning.”

Then, Lin Boyue’s eyes filled with coldness as he looked at Wang Tang,

“How is the person I told you to look for doing?”

Wang Tang, who was already completely in awe of Lin Boyue, quickly replied:

“Sect Master is truly farsighted! I’ve found the Wei State’s Cao Xiang. He is the last remaining late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator among the Wei State cultivators and specializes in the Dead Curse technique! He has a record of successfully cursing a Class II peak Incense-burning Dao cultivator to death. He couldn’t be more suitable to deal with Shen Fu!”

Zhuang Yi was suddenly puzzled: “Wang Tang, why make it so complicated? Couldn’t we just go straight to him, and finish him off?”

“Uh…”

For this question, Wang Tang didn’t know how to reply for a moment.

Lin Boyue couldn’t help but shoot Zhuang Yi a disdainful glare, but he still had no choice but to explain:

“Shen Fu’s Spirit Chicken Essence is highly sought after among rogue and sect cultivators. Those who originally had no hope of breaking through now have a glimmer of hope. If they knew that we were the ones who killed Shen Fu, cutting off their hope of advancement, I fear even our own disciples may develop feelings of resentment towards us.”

“As for the Dead Curse technique, it can kill a person in a way that leaves no trace. Although we would naturally be the prime suspect, Huifeng Valley, Danlong School and even Zhenling Palace could not exclude themselves from suspicion. The rogue cultivators might even think that our Four Great Sects joined forces. This would also serve to ward off the others.”
