Lin Min provided two pieces of information. Lu Bei flipped through one piece of information on the spot and found it quite informative. Then he quickly scanned the other piece of information, which was short and concise. He put it in his arms and took it away.
Lin Min was quite polite and wanted to have a good chat with Lu Bei over the wine table. He had no other intentions. Business matters could not be handled without wine, and some things could not be discussed without a glass of wine.
As soon as Lu Bei heard this, he knew there was money to be made. Under normal circumstances, he would have stayed for a meal no matter what.
But it won’t work today, as I’m in a hurry to deliver information to Zhan Lexian. Also, there’s the mining area to the east, and I’m going to investigate before nightfall.
Things have their priorities. I won’t have dinner today. I’ll just take the money and leave. We’ll make up for the dinner next time.
After he left, a silver guard hurried to the Xuanyinsi Yamen, met Lin Min, and handed him a piece of information.
Silver Guard had an ordinary face, the kind you wouldn't find on the street. After seeing Lin Min, he looked dazed, his face twisted and changed, and he looked like Zhao Zihao.
"Master Lin, it's been a while... Hey, why do you look so bad today?"
"A friend came to visit me. This person... is not worth making friends with, but I have to please him."
Thinking of Yu Tao's explanation, Lin Min was quite puzzled. No matter in terms of position or prestige, or even the number of times he had seen the emperor, Xuanwei Yu Tao crushed Lu Bei so much. Why should he be so polite to him
Just because he can fight
Yes, being able to fight is very powerful, but the Xuanyinsi does not only look at strength. When it comes to rough work like fighting and killing, the Huangji Sect has always been the one that rushes to the front, and no one can replace them in a short period of time.
It would be counterproductive to rush to elevate the status of the thugs.
"Who caused Lord Lin to work so hard? Tell me, and I will help you get rid of this anger."
"Nothing, we won't see each other again."
Lin Min brushed it off without saying anything more. He frowned and looked at Zhao Zihao, "Why are you the one delivering the information today? Right now, there are spies from the Iron Sword Alliance and the Imperial Sect everywhere. If you are exposed, even your master from the Heavenly Sword Sect won't be able to protect you."
"I don't want to put myself in danger, but the patrol team is on high alert today. If someone else takes over, there might be failure. I have to do it myself." Zhao Zihao said helplessly.
"What information is so important?"
Lin Min took a look and saw in black and white that Lu Bei had entered Shuizeyuan. It was evaluated that this person had the strength of a Nine Swords Elder, had many identities, and had unclear motives. He had a deep grudge against Zhan Lexian and could be divided by sowing discord.
Lin Min was stunned. The information was indeed important, but he came too late. He had just met Lu Bei.
"Master Lin, is there any problem with the intelligence?"
Zhao Zihao asked, silently watching the change in Lin Min's expression.
"The intelligence is fine, but the people who provide the intelligence are the problem."
"Extremely."
"…" x2
After a moment of silence, Lin Min spoke first: "Since you are here, I just have a question to ask you. What exactly happened on Tianjian Peak? Tell me the truth and don't be perfunctory."
"Hahaha, Lord Lin is worrying too much. What could possibly happen on Tianjian Peak? It's just a trick to deceive people."
Zhao Zihao laughed and said, seeing Lin Min frowning, he changed his words and said, "If you have to say what the big deal is, it's still related to Lu Bei in the intelligence. Zhan Lexian was defeated by him and was attacked by several elders. The position of the Nine Swords Elders was unstable, so there was a big commotion."
"After that, Shuizeyuan made a big move. It was all because Zhan Lexian was determined to challenge a great elder of the Huangji Sect and consolidate his position on Tianjian Peak."
"Are you serious?"
Lin Min was skeptical. There were too many people and the situation was complicated. The Tianjian Sect did not have a final leader. The eight elders all had their own thoughts, and intrigue was commonplace. What Zhao Zihao said was not unacceptable.
Seeing that Zhan Lexian did not move his troops, it seemed that he was indeed trying to challenge him to a fight.
"Master Lin, I was at Tianjian Peak on the day of the incident. I saw it with my own eyes. How could it be false?"
Zhao Zihao smiled and said, "Besides, if you don't trust me, how can you not trust my master? He once gave you a set of sword manuals and even had dinner with Lord Yu!"
"That's true. Lin was too cautious."
The two men smiled at each other, moved on from the incident, and after talking for a few words, Zhao Zihao changed his appearance and left cautiously.
Lin Min looked at his back and shook his head secretly. Zhao Zihao was not trustworthy, and his teacher Wu Chengyi was even less trustworthy. On the one hand, he was trying to make friends with the Xuanwei of the Xuanyin Division, and on the other hand, he was on friendly terms with the Grand Elder of the Huangji Sect. He was a complete fence-sitter.
"Don't offend either..."
"You've offended both sides, and sooner or later you'll have to bear the consequences."
…
Water and deep water.
Lu Bei presented the information with both hands and said with a serious face: "Behead the elder. According to the Qingwei of Xuanyin Division who is undercover in Huangji Sect, the Grand Elder of Huangji Sect has arrived in person and is now in Dongyin County. There are also several worshippers from the Elders' Council, all of whom are fearless demon cultivators. The enemy is coming fiercely!"
Zhan Lexian looked through the information, his face showed no sadness or joy, and he was not touched at all.
Lu Bei leaned forward and said, "Elder Zhan, if you are not satisfied with the information, just tell me. I have another copy for sale."
"No need to quote, I know more than you."
Zhan Lexian took a step back and said, "Two great elders from the Huangji Sect have arrived. I can tell you their names and where they are hiding right now."
"Ah, this..."
Lu Bei winked and said, "Amazing! It turns out that not only the Xuanyin Division, but the Tianjian Sect also has an undercover agent in the Huangji Sect."
"hehe."
Zhan Lexian chuckled twice. The Tianjian Sect did have undercover agents in the Huangji Sect, but originally, these undercover agents were ordered to ambush in the Xuanyin Division. The specific situation could be explained by the fact that Wu Zhou had its own national conditions.
Lu Bei was not disappointed that he failed to sell the information for a good price. He said, "Kill the elder. The Royal Extreme Sect has come with bad intentions. The two elders are not mediocre. You can't gain an advantage by fighting alone. Otherwise... retreat. Moving like the wind is the way to win in the military. It's not shameful."
"Don't you still have it?"
Zhan Lexian smiled and patted Lu Bei on the shoulder: "With your skills, you can stop a great elder for me. The rest of the elders and priests are nothing but chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning. I have the advantage in this battle, why should I retreat?"
“Elder Zhan, you can’t say that. Think about it. There are two great elders on the opposite side. They have more people. I will definitely stand on their side. The advantage is not yours.”
"… "
Zhan Lexian's eyelids jumped, and he flicked his sleeves to drive Lu Bei away, cursing Jing Ji in his heart for adding insult to injury, knowing that he had an important responsibility, yet still throwing a stick at him to stir up trouble.
How can you achieve anything great if you are with this bunch of useless people who only know how to scheme against each other!
Thinking of the big thing, Zhan Lexian immediately became worried. He was concerned about the unusual situation on Tianjian Peak and wondered whether the old guys had figured it out.
…
As for Lu Bei, the information was sent to Zhan Lexian, who gave him a worthless evaluation, which made him more suspicious.
Two great elders from the Huangji Sect came, maybe even more. Zhan Lexian was alone but not panicking at all. Either he had someone else to rely on, or...
He was preparing to run away from the battlefield and had no intention of engaging in a head-on confrontation.
Considering Zhan Lexian's unyielding character, Lu Bei estimated that the first possibility was more likely. There were other Nine Sword Elders in Shuizeyuan, and their number was even greater than that of the Grand Elder of Huangji Sect.
For example, Zhao Zihao’s master was most likely hiding in the bushes.
"This is troublesome. These guys really want to start a war right now..."
Lu Bei secretly felt a headache. If Zhan Lexian and the Grand Elder of Huangji Sect fought alone, he, a troublemaker, could barely deal with them as a peacemaker. If there were too many people, the situation would get more complicated and even he would be implicated.
He looked up at the sky. It was too early and not suitable for the masked man to appear, so he squatted in the bushes, took out the Shuangxuanbaotu and began to practice.
As we all know, the reason why he has achieved what he has today is that, in addition to his exceptional talent, he has also worked just as hard as others in his practice.
Ninety-nine point nine percent talent and 0.1 percent sweat.
In the private room, She Xuan was sitting cross-legged in meditation. When she saw Lu Bei pushing the door and walking in, she frowned and asked, "What happened? Haven't we reached the secret realm yet?"
"Wait a little longer, the situation is a little complicated this time."
Lu Bei rubbed his hands together, crossed his legs and came to She Xuan's back: "I will add some innate Qi to you and Sister Snake. You two can play with it first, and I will let you out after we enter the secret realm."
She Xuan wanted to ask more questions, but she felt a heat flow into her body. She had no choice but to close her eyes and start practicing with concentration.
There was no dual cultivation today. After coaxing She Xuan to sleep, Lu Bei left the single room and summoned Mei Wangsu's body wrapped in chains. It had been a while since I got this body, and the progress bar was moving slowly. I would work harder today, hoping to subdue it as soon as possible.
"Try the Immortal Sword Intention, maybe he will obey."
…
night.
The sky above Shuizeyuan was still bright, and with the support of the formation, it was not affected by the outside world at all.
Lu Beiye's idea of wearing a mask was shattered, and he transformed himself into the appearance of Lin Buyan, flying his sword in the air, not recognizing anyone, all the way to the Eastern Mining Area.
As I said, everything is for Lingxiao Sword Sect, Lin Buyan has to thank him!
clang!!!
The sword flashed and disappeared in a flash.
Lu Bei, who was posing while standing on the sword, was slightly startled. He looked down, with golden light flashing in his eyes, and secretly said that it was fate.
The Lingxiao Sword Sect has started a civil war again.
During the day, Qin Bupo and Cheng Buque blocked the door and exchanged verbal attacks with Sima Buzheng. The latter's talent was in chopping people, and he could not defeat two tongues with one mouth. He was no match for his two senior brothers in verbal skills, so he challenged Qin Bupo to a duel and used swords to communicate their feelings.
According to Sima Buzheng's opinion, Qin Bupo has repeatedly challenged him with the title of the dean of the Jiejian Academy. So he will give him a chance tonight. Everyone should draw their swords and compete in real kung fu to see who is more qualified.
The idea was good, but he underestimated Qin Bupo's moral bottom line. They agreed to a one-on-one duel, and the moment the formation was activated, Cheng Buque crawled out of the ground.
Fighting one against two, Sima Buzheng managed to fight to a 50-50 score and managed to hold out until dawn with a bruised face.
Just now, a sword energy rushed into the sky, trying to break through the sword formation to ask for help, but was blocked by Cheng Buque, and the last chance to call for help was lost.
But it was not a complete failure, as I successfully attracted a fun person.
Lu Bei sneered twice, touched the face of the leader of his Lingxiao Sword Sect, flew down on his sword and plunged into the formation.
"Master...Master, why are you here?"
"Lin Buyan?!"
"Come on, I'll take you today..."
"What are you looking at? Put Dashitian down if you can!"
"That's right. If you don't let me go, I'll leave."
