Chapter 58 Alright, I'll join the Qingyun Sect!
Given the increasing number of White Tiger Sect disciples gathering recently, Tang Chao and Ye Xiaobai have been continuously strengthening the verification of the disciples' identities.
On this day, Ye Xiaobai and Tang Chao captured a spy from the Qingyun Sect, and began interrogating him in front of everyone: "Kid, do you have any other accomplices here?"
People began to whisper among themselves; some looked serious, while others seemed completely unconcerned.
Jiang Yong was also a little worried; this guy probably didn't know his identity.
"Yes, that Qingfeng Swordsman Liu Cheng and the Cold Moon Assassin Ye Xiaobai are my accomplices. You should kill them both!" The undercover agent started spouting nonsense with a straight face.
"You bastard, you're asking for death!" Liu Cheng said, about to kill the undercover agent. Ye Xiaobai quickly grabbed Liu Cheng and advised, "Junior Brother Liu, don't be angry yet, this guy is still useful."
Tang Chao naturally didn't believe the undercover agent's nonsense, and patiently advised, "Kid, tell me your companion's name, and I guarantee I can spare your life!"
"If you don't believe me after I tell you, what else can I do?" The undercover agent feigned helplessness.
"Alright, alright, take him away and keep a close watch on him! We'll deal with you properly later!" Tang Chao knew this guy was stubborn, so he could only lock him up for now and deal with him later.
Soon, two disciples from the White Tiger Sect entered and took the undercover agent away.
"Fellow disciples, there are more and more disciples in our White Tiger Sect lately. We must be careful that disciples from other sects don't sneak in!" Tang Chao said seriously, glancing at Jiang Yong as he spoke.
Jiang Yong was startled when he saw Tang Chao's eyes. He thought to himself, "This guy probably didn't find out, right? He shouldn't!"
"Yes!" the crowd responded to Tang Chao's instructions.
Afterwards, Tang Chao told everyone some daily precautions and then sent them home, leaving only Ye Xiaobai behind.
"Junior Brother Ye, why do you want me to collect a large amount of Flame Grass?" Tang Chao asked curiously.
"Senior Brother Tang, have you noticed that most of our White Tiger Sect disciples are not as strong as the Qingyun Sect disciples? We might suffer a great loss in the later conflict," Ye Xiaobai patiently explained.
"What does this have to do with the Blazing Grass? Oh? Junior Brother, what kind of pill are you trying to refine to quickly improve the strength of the White Tiger Sect disciples?" Tang Chao asked eagerly.
"That's right, Junior Brother has refined the Blazing Flame Pill. When released at close range, it can severely injure a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage!" As he spoke, Ye Xiaobai took out a Blazing Flame Pill that was fiery red in color, crystal clear, and contained a strong fire-type spiritual power.
Ye Xiaobai had previously obtained the recipe for the Blazing Flame Pill, but lacked the necessary materials to refine it. Only after entering the secret realm did he acquire a considerable amount of materials for refining the Blazing Flame Pill.
Soon, a large-scale conflict will break out between the White Tiger Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect, and the Blazing Flame Pill will be one of the major assets in this conflict.
"Here are the Blazing Grasses I recently collected!" Tang Chao said, handing a storage bag full of Blazing Grasses to Ye Xiaobai.
"This quantity is sufficient. Did you keep Jiang Yong in the dark about collecting the Flame Grass?" Ye Xiaobai took the storage bag and scanned it with his divine sense to confirm the quantity of Flame Grass.
"Of course not, I definitely collected it without his knowledge!" Tang Chao quickly replied.
"By the way, how's the intelligence gathering on the Qingyun Sect going?" Ye Xiaobai also wanted to know the latest situation.
"Latest intelligence: the Qingyun Sect has gathered about 300 Qi Refining stage cultivators to besiege our White Tiger Sect cultivators. About a third of them are at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and the rest are mostly at the tenth or ninth level of Qi Refining. This time, the pressure is quite high!" Tang Chao said slowly, his brows furrowed, showing some concern about the future conflict.
"The Qingyun Sect is really going all out this time. We only have a little over 100 people on our side, and less than half of them are Qi Refining Perfection cultivators. We are indeed at a significant disadvantage!"
Ye Xiaobai was also aware of the current situation of the White Tiger Sect. Previously, it was easy to deal with a small number of Qingyun Sect cultivators, but now that there were more people, he had to be extremely cautious.
"With Junior Brother's Blazing Flame Pill, we have a better chance of winning!" Tang Chao said happily, thinking of the power of the Blazing Flame Pill refined by Ye Xiaobai.
“Indeed, now it all depends on Junior Brother Liu!” Ye Xiaobai looked in the direction where Liu Cheng was in the distance.
“Yes!” Tang Chao said, taking a few steps toward Liu Cheng’s direction.
……
Liu Chengchu.
Liu Cheng is not on any missions today and is meditating in his room.
"Senior Brother Liu, are you there? It's me, Jiang Yong!"
"Come in, Junior Brother Jiang."
"Senior Brother Liu is cultivating. I hope I didn't disturb you?"
"No, Junior Brother Jiang, what's on your mind?" Liu Cheng said, gesturing for Jiang Yong to sit down and talk slowly.
Jiang Yong first looked around, and after confirming that no one was around, he still set up a soundproof barrier to prevent others from eavesdropping.
Liu Cheng was also puzzled by Jiang Yong's behavior and asked directly, "Junior Brother Jiang, what's going on? Why are you being so secretive?"
"Great news!" Jiang Yong said with a smile.
"What good news?" Liu Cheng asked curiously.
"This is fantastic news for Senior Brother Liu!"
"Hey, Junior Brother Jiang, stop beating around the bush and just say it!" Liu Cheng said impatiently.
"Then I'll be frank. Guo Xing and Senior Brother Guo from the Qingyun Sect are interested in making friends with Senior Brother Liu," Jiang Yong said calmly.
"What? Qingyun Sect? Be friends? You want me to be a spy?" Liu Cheng slammed his hand on the table and stood up immediately.
"Senior Brother Liu, keep your voice down!" Jiang Yong pulled Liu Cheng down to sit.
"Junior Brother Jiang, when did you join the Qingyun Sect?"
"Hey, Senior Brother Liu, that's not right. A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and a wise minister chooses a good master to serve. Now I have plenty of pills to cultivate in the Qingyun Sect every day, and Senior Brother Guo also takes good care of me!"
"And what about you, Senior Brother Liu? You risk your life in every battle but gain little benefit. Why do you risk your life here?"
"But I have received the care and support of the White Tiger Sect all along, which is why I have achieved my current level of cultivation. How can I betray the sect? Don't mention it again. I can pretend you never said anything!" Liu Cheng flatly rejected Jiang Yong's persuasion.
“Senior Brother Liu, why are you so stubborn? You are so devoted to the sect, but what about Tang Chao? He got the treasure and took it for himself. What did he give you? Does he even consider you a brother?” Jiang Yong retorted.
"He..." Liu Cheng didn't know how to answer.
"Furthermore, the outcome of the Qingyun Sect's siege of the White Tiger Sect is basically a foregone conclusion. Why should we risk our lives for our heartless senior brother?"
"But, after all, the White Tiger Sect still has members of our Liu family!"
"Let me tell you the truth, after the secret realm ends, the Qingyun Sect is preparing to destroy the White Tiger Sect. Are you, the Liu family, still waiting to die in the White Tiger Sect?"
"What? The Azure Cloud Sect wants to destroy the White Tiger Sect!" Liu Cheng was greatly surprised upon hearing this.
"We were originally planning to destroy the White Tiger Sect, but who knew this secret realm would suddenly appear? It's a good opportunity to eliminate the Qi Refining stage cultivators of the White Tiger Sect first in the secret realm!" Jiang Yong said.
"This... I'll think about it." Liu Cheng didn't know what to say after hearing so much information all at once.
"Senior Brother Liu, what are you still considering? Joining the Qingyun Sect now will not only protect your Liu family, but Senior Brother Guo has also promised to give you a mid-grade spiritual weapon flying sword after this siege is over!"
"A mid-grade spiritual weapon!" Liu Cheng was also greatly shocked when he heard that he was going to be given a mid-grade spiritual weapon.
“Yes, so Senior Brother Liu, don’t hesitate. Opportunity knocks but once! Senior Brother Guo values you so much, if you don’t cherish it, you’ll never have another chance to join the Qingyun Sect!” Jiang Yong continued to persuade him.
"Alright, I'll join the Qingyun Sect!" Liu Cheng said reluctantly.
