Chapter 178 Jin Kui's Confidence
One day later.
In front of a huge building, more than ten people were sitting cross-legged on the open ground, resting.
"Wow, the architecture of this inner hall is truly magnificent."
Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, surveying the enormous building that resembled a tower.
This tower is divided into five levels, each level separated by a distance of over a hundred feet. The bottommost bluestone gate alone is fifty or sixty feet high.
At this moment, the building was not yet open and was shrouded in a layer of pale white light.
Qingfeng stood to the side, like an ant.
"Qingfeng, the inner palace is about to open. The Star Palace has arranged for Wan Tianming to retrieve the cauldron first."
The bearded man transmitted his voice to Qingfeng.
"Okay, then we can make the arrangements in advance."
Qingfeng made the arrangements.
"Alright, then I'll have Qingyi talk to Wan Tianming and we'll deal with Ji Yin together."
"That's what the bearded man said."
"Okay, let's do it that way."
Qingfeng nodded slightly.
He has already achieved half of his goal for this trip; now all that remains is to retrieve the tripod.
"Xuan Gu, Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi will help you deal with Ji Yin. When it comes to the killing move to kill Ji Yin, you will be in charge of it yourself."
Qingfeng said to Xuangu.
"Yes, I will kill him with my own hands."
Xuan Gu spoke with some excitement from inside the box.
Meanwhile, Ji Yin, sitting cross-legged on the other side, was unaware of the impending doom.
"The inner sanctum is about to open, why hasn't Han Li come out yet?"
His old face was furrowed, and he was somewhat anxious.
At that moment, a flash of light appeared on the teleportation array, and Han Li's figure appeared.
Upon seeing that his "good apprentice" had passed the test, Ji Yin hurriedly went to greet him.
Seeing this, the two Lan demons also followed Ji Yin over, and the two of them were now very concerned about Han Li.
After all, the Blood Jade Spider represents taking the cauldron.
"Elder, when did these demonic villains become so protective of their disciples?"
That kid...is there something different about him?
In a secluded stone chamber, Elder Jia pointed at Han Li on the light screen and spoke.
"These old fogies are all after the Void Heaven Cauldron. The fact that they're so concerned about a Core Formation junior must be related to obtaining the cauldron."
Jin Kui sat on a stone chair and spoke calmly.
"Oh dear! Elder, are we just going to stay here and watch? If they really take over the Void Heaven Palace, what will the consequences be..."
Elder Jia became anxious.
"Old Jia, calm down. The Grand Elder has surely already made arrangements."
At this moment, Elder Wu pressed down on Elder Jia's shoulder.
"Hehe, you should learn more from Elder Wu. Don't panic when you encounter problems."
Jin Kui smiled and looked at Elder Wu.
"Let's hand over the Heavenly Creation Instrument to Wan Tianming."
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, I have already informed Wan Tianming of the shortcut route, and I have also handed over the Heavenly Creation Instrument to him."
"But wouldn't our actions seem a bit too obvious, like we're trying to sow discord?"
Elder Wu was somewhat worried.
"Hehe, no need to worry. These Nascent Soul stage old fogies don't have much lifespan left, and they will definitely fight each other for the Heaven-Mending Pill."
"We'll clean up after they've finished fighting."
Jin Kui remained calm and collected, ready to watch the show unfold.
"Elder... will the people of Qingyang Sect keep their promise and help us deal with Wan Tianming?"
Given the current situation, the most likely scenario is that they will join forces in the inner sanctum to fight against the demonic forces.
Elder Jia said.
"Isn't this exactly the kind of show we've been looking for?"
Regardless of whether Qingyang Sect Master keeps his promise, they have already entered this game.
With their lifespans limited, Manhuzi and Qingyi wouldn't let this Heaven-Mending Pill slip by.
They will first fight against the demonic path together with Wan Tianming, but in the end, they will continue to fight amongst themselves for the things inside the Void Heaven Cauldron.
"Once they leave the Void Heaven Palace, we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
Jin Kui's gaze was icy; he not only wanted to eliminate Wan Tianming but also frame the demonic path.
He also wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the Qingyang Sect's strength, and if he had the chance, he wouldn't let the Barbarian Beard and his group go either.
"The Grand Elder is right. Before, in front of the Ice and Fire Path, that barbarian had a fight with both the righteous and demonic paths."
If they see the Heaven-Mending Pill, they'll definitely start fighting amongst themselves. Once they've fought to the point of exhaustion and are teleported out of the Void Heaven Palace, we can find an opportunity to eliminate them.
Elder Jia spoke excitedly, expressing strong approval of Jin Kui's plan.
Elder Wu, standing to the side, looked rather strange.
"Elder, if something happens to the people of Qingyang Sect, will the Three Yang Old Demon cause trouble?"
Elder Wu asked.
"Causing trouble? Heh, isn't he in seclusion trying to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage?"
He didn't appear when the Void Heaven Palace opened this time; presumably, he didn't dare to show up.
Jin Kui smiled dismissively.
"The Grand Elder's meaning..."
Elder Wu was somewhat puzzled.
"Qing Sanyang's only son has been using the excuse of his father's seclusion to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm to recruit soldiers and expand his power over the past few decades."
Now that Manhuzi and Qingyi have joined Qingyang Sect, they probably both believe that Qing Sanyang can become a new late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
But in my opinion, all of this was a scheme by the father and son of Qingyang Sect.
I've been at the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm for hundreds of years, how could I not know how difficult it is to break through to the final step?
"Qing Sanyang advanced to the mid-Nascent Soul stage even later than me, how could he have broken through to the late-Nascent Soul stage after only a dozen years of seclusion?"
Jin Kui had a confident expression that seemed to see through everything.
Jin Kui had a confident expression that seemed to see through everything.
"So that's how it is... Qingyang Sect has always been bluffing! The fact that the Three Yang Old Demon didn't come to the appointment this time is probably because he can't show his face."
If people found out he hadn't succeeded in his breakthrough, the Qingyang Sect would probably descend into chaos!
Elder Jia suddenly realized and said to Elder Jin Kui with admiration.
"Hehe, alright, the gates of the Void Tower are open, the show is about to begin."
Jin Kui sat on the stone chair, looking at the scene on the light screen.
……
The gates of the Void Tower opened, and the barrier of light disappeared.
"Sect Leader Wan, Brother Man and I plan to feign an alliance with Ji Yin. Once we reach the fifth level, we'll launch a surprise attack on the demonic path."
Qingyi stroked his beard and secretly transmitted his voice to Wan Tianming.
"Alright, once we reach the fifth floor of the tower and eliminate the demonic path, we'll divide the treasures in the cauldron equally."
After Wan Tianming finished speaking, he took the lead and walked into the gate of the Void Tower.
Seeing that Zhengdao had entered the gate, Jiyin and the Lan Clan Twin Demons hurriedly followed.
However, before entering the gate, Ji Yin glanced back at Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi.
"The people from Qingyang Sect will definitely go to the fifth floor, and when they try to retrieve the cauldron, things will inevitably get chaotic."
"If we could win them over and use them to deal with Wan Tianming, that would be one way."
The two demons of the Lan clan on the Yin side are both at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. If they are helped by the Barbarian Beard, the righteous path will have no chance of winning.
"Extreme Yin, what are you dawdling for? Come on."
Old Demon Lan frowned and urged.
"Hehe, coming right away."
Ji Yin walked to Lan Laomo's side and told him his thoughts.
For the sake of the Void Cauldron and the treasures inside, there is nothing that cannot be cooperated on.
As Ji Yin and the others disappeared from sight, Qing Feng, along with Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi, entered through the gate.
After all three forces had entered the gate, the two Core Formation cultivators in the plaza in front of the gate slowly walked towards it. If they had rushed in earlier, they would have been instantly killed by the Nascent Soul cultivator.
"What, are there still people trying to sneak into the inner palace and take advantage of the chaos?"
Two figures appeared in mid-air, Elder Jia and Elder Wu, dressed in Star Palace attire.
Without saying a word, Elder Jia waved his hand and unleashed a strike, turning the two Core Formation cultivators into ashes.
"It seems they've all gone in. These old monsters would never have imagined that our Star Palace broke the teleportation barrier here a thousand years ago."
Elder Wu chuckled softly.
"Let's go, we need to be careful not to let them find out. We can't let them actually take out this Void Heaven Cauldron."
Elder Jia said.
The two then transformed into white light and entered the gate.
