Chapter 34: There Was A Conspiracy

At night.

The gate of the Netherworld Ghost sect was bathed in starlight.

On the Hell’s Peak, far away from Ghost Peak Mountain, a secret meeting was being held.

Inside the golden cave.

Li Jing sat on the main seat.

The other 2 men and a woman sat on the left and right sides.

All of their realms were at the peak of the foundation stage.

“Have you brought what I asked for?”

At this time, Li Jing was dressed in a golden robe. His gaze was cold as he glanced at them.

“Don’t worry. It’s ready.”

The green-clothed man sitting on the upper left waved his jade fan and smiled. He took out a small dice and placed it on the table.

The dice seemed to be made of black iron. The dots on the sides were painted with gold.

“What is this?”

Li Jing frowned and asked.

“A hidden weapon.”

The green-clothed man smiled evilly. “This is a hidden weapon that I specially borrowed from the disciples of the Demon God Temple. Once thrown out, thousands of poisonous needles burst out. The poisonous needle is the stinger of the golden-winged wasp. It’s sharp and indestructible. It’s extremely poisonous too. Once the poison enters the body, the person will die in seconds. Its power is comparable to a low-grade spiritual tool. This hidden weapon also has a very poetic name. It is called Pear Blossom.”

“Awesome!”

After hearing it, a fierce light flashed in Li Jing’s eyes. He then took the black iron dice.

He looked at the red-clothed girl who was sitting beside the green-clothed man.

The red-clothed girl was crossing her legs and holding a silver dagger to trim her nails.

Sensing Li Jing’s sharp gaze, she raised her head, revealing a half-black and half-white face. She opened her mouth and spat out a long blood-colored jade talisman.

A fierce tiger head was carved on the jade talisman.

“Soul Capturing Tiger Talisman. Once activated, the Jin Dan stage tiger spirit sealed inside the talisman will enter the enemy’s consciousness, intimidating the enemy.”

After the red-clothed girl finished speaking, she lowered her head again and began to trim her nails.

“Excellent!”

The fierce light in Li Jing’s eyes became even more intense. He fancied it and took away the blood-red talisman.

Later, he looked at the yellow-robed old man sitting next to him.

The yellow-robed old man had a slightly chubby figure and was smiling. He looked kind. He was just like someone’s grandfather.

“Senior Brother Li, you don’t need to go through so much trouble just to deal with a useless kid, right?”

The yellow-robed old man stroked his beard and asked with a smile.

“Hmph, blood for blood! He killed my younger brother, so I want him to pay with his life! Brother Lin, where’s your stuff?”

Li Jing’s killing intent surged, and he was somewhat impatient.

“Here.”

The yellow-robed old man lightly waved his hand.

On the jade table beside him, a silver ball appeared out of thin air.

The silver ball was round, about the size of a dragon’s eye. Its surface was smooth, and there were even a few silver stars embedded in it.

He did not know what it was.

“Oh? a Saber Ball?”

Li Jing narrowed his eyes.

The green-clothed man and the red-clothed girl instantly raised their heads as they stared at the silver ball.

“That’s right. It’s a Saber Ball.”

The yellow-robed old man smiled as he picked up the teacup. He took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly, “I searched through the Thousand Ghosts City and accidentally found this sword ball. It should be from the Galaxy Sword sect.”

All of their expressions became serious.

The sword techniques of the Galaxy Sword sect were unparalleled in the world.

Moreover, Galaxy Sword sect’s disciples were the most enthusiastic in eliminating demonic cultivators. They were the most eager to defend the Central Plains Daoist sects.

Whenever they saw the disciples of the Demonic sects, they would charge forward like mad dogs and fight to the death.

Over the past hundred years, at least 100,000 disciples of the Demonic sect had died under the swords of the Galaxy Sword sect’s disciples.

Of course, there was a reason for this.

It seemed that a few hundred years ago, the sect leader of the Galaxy Sword sect had been cheated by a demonic woman.

The demonic woman also stole his money.

It was rumored that she had also stolen several supreme sword techniques of the Galaxy Sword sect.

The saddest thing was that the sect leader did not even seem to be able to hold her hands.

From then on, the Galaxy Sword sect had an additional sect rule. When they saw a member of the Demonic sects, they would kill without any reason.

“This Saber Ball can be used once only. Once activated, it’ll transform into a silver light. Its power is comparable to the full-strength attack of a peak foundation stage cultivator using a mid-grade spiritual tool. It can split everything apart. That kid will die without a doubt. Senior Brother Li, with this Saber Ball, you will have your revenge!”

The yellow-robed old man chuckled.

“Alright!”

Li Jing seemed to have seen Lu Li being cut in half by the silver light. He gritted his teeth as he answered.

Then, he grabbed the Saber Ball with his big palm.

After that, he flicked his sleeve and threw out 3 black bags, which landed on the jade table beside the 3 of them. “Your rewards.”

They immediately picked up the bags and opened them. They all looked satisfied.

“What a generous guy!”

“You’re a generous man!”

“Thank you!”

They put away their black bags and praised in unison.

“By the way, isn’t it a bit too much to kill his true disciple during Demonic Devil’s congratulatory banquet tomorrow? Will Demonic Devil save him?”

The yellow-robed old man stroked his beard and asked in a low voice.

“Don’t worry, Hell Master will stop him. Hmph, Demonic Devil has just advanced to the Demigod stage, and he wants to enter the Hall Of Punishment. He’s too ambitious! Moreover, one of his true disciples, Bai Jinfei, is also Lu He’s friend! Don’t you all want to become the lead disciple?”

Li Jing looked at them coldly.

After he finished his sentence, the 3 of them fell into deep thought.

Soon after, the green-clothed man waved his jade fan and said with an evil smile, “That’s right! Lu He has been the lead disciple for so long. It’s our turn!”

“That woman is a b*tch. She flirts with everybody. Just looking at her makes me want to throw up.”

The woman in red said coldly.

“That’s right. I wanted to be the lead disciple a long time ago. It’s our turn now!” The yellow-robed old man’s eyes also revealed traces of desire.

“Excellent! With the 3 of you supporting me, I’ll definitely be able to replace Lu He and become the lead disciple. 10 years later, the lead disciple position will be passed to the 3 of you! I swear!”

Li Jing swore on the spot.

“Okay!”

“Good”

“It’s settled!”

“Let’s drink!”

After that, they toasted as they enjoyed the night.

Soon, it was getting late. The meeting ended. All of them went back.

After they left, Li Jing’s expression instantly turned cold. He snorted and said, “Hmph, with your ugly looks, you all want to become the lead disciple? You all will only tarnish the reputation of our Netherworld Ghost sect!”

“Li Jing, you’re wrong. The 3 of them know that they can’t be the lead disciple. They just want to use this opportunity to obtain more benefits from you and Lu He.”

At that moment, someone spoke in an indifferent voice.

A figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the hall. It was a middle-aged man in green. He carried a white sword on his back. His eyes were bright, and he was floating like a celestial being.

“Greetings, Master!”

Li Jing’s expression turned solemn, and he stepped forward to bow at his master.

The middle-aged man was Hell Master!

Hell Master raised his hand and helped Li Jing up. He then said indifferently, “Don’t worry, you’re the one I value the most. I’ll never let your hatred become your barrier to break through the Jin Dan stage. Tomorrow, someone will help you test Lu Li’s strength. When the time is right, you will take action and kill that b*stard.”

“Thank you, Master!”

When Li Jing heard this, he bowed in gratitude once again.

At the same time, a cold killing intent flashed in his heart.

He wanted Lu Li to be completely destroyed! He would like him without mercy! He wanted to console his younger brother’s spirit in heaven!

…

The next day.

The sun shone brightly.

The first ray of sunlight broke through the darkness and shone on the Myriad Devils Mountain.

The sunlight also shone on the Star Observation Tower.

Lu Li woke up.

Ding!

The system notification sounded in his mind.

[Your Great Merciful Palm Technique has been cultivated to the perfection. It cannot be cultivated again. Therefore, it decided to go out and look for opportunities. ]

[Before your Great Merciful Palm Technique left, your Heavenly Dragon Spell taught it a move. Flying Dragon Technique. ]

[You have learned the Flying Dragon Technique.]

Lu Li jumped up with excitement in his eyes.

It was his Great Merciful Palm Technique’s turn to go out?

Flying Dragon Technique?

He took out the system log and looked at it.

[Flying Dragon Technique. The secret move of the Heavenly Dragon Spell. It condenses mana and blood qi, and shoots out a golden dragon energy, destroying all directions.

This… He was lucky enough to obtain another strong technique when he was sleeping!

Lu Li was extremely happy.

He wanted to try it out!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Li’s figure floated up and transformed into a ghostly figure. He then rushed to the martial arts practice field.

Then, he activated his Mystical Devouring Technique and pushed his palm forward.

Roar!

Accompanied by a loud and deep roar, a translucent golden dragon came out from the center of his palm. It was mighty and ferocious. In an instant, it flew forward and crashed into the black stone.

However, the golden dragon energy passed through the black stone!

After a few second had passed.

Bang!

The black stone exploded on the spot and turned into dust.
