Chapter 639: Backstabbing the Sect Leader to Prove His Sincerity
Yan Xu really thought about it carefully and weighed the pros and cons.

He is not afraid of a real fight. He does not consider the issues of cause and effect and karma. If he joins forces with a big player, he can blow up the big world or even eat it up completely. This is the strength of an extraordinary earthly immortal holding an innate spiritual treasure. Otherwise, how could he have the confidence to go to the upper realm.

But fighting cannot solve all problems, and it is easy to alarm the upper realm which is in an unknown state.

He is not afraid of the lower world because the upper limit is here, but he is not sure about the upper world. What if there is a Golden Immortal? He will be trying to show off but end up getting hurt.

But there is no need to be a coward, otherwise he would not have made such a big fuss in the first place. He just needs to find a degree.

Finally, Yan Xu came to a conclusion: you can pretend to be cool, but don’t pretend to be too cool, or you will be unable to hold back.

In fact, the benefits of showing strength are obvious. Although he has never shown up, the ghost boy is not a quiet person and often runs around. Xu Feiyan needs to deal with all aspects of the matter, so Luanjian Shanguang is known to the outside world for having two golden elixirs.

Many sects only have one Jindan ancestor in charge, and he may be cancelled at any time, so two is not a small number. The cultivation families and mortal towns within a radius of 300 miles have taken the initiative to assign themselves to the name of Luanjian Mountain, and sent letters of allegiance and protection fees in the form of gifts and congratulatory speeches.

Yan Xu was speechless about this. He didn't say a word, but the area within a radius of 300 miles was tacitly regarded as the sphere of influence of Luanjian Mountain. The key point was that other sects and forces also recognized it.

Because according to the conventions of this world, the sphere of influence of a sect that possesses the golden elixir must start from three hundred miles as a sign of respect.

As for what to do if there is an overlap with other sects' sphere of influence, generally speaking, they will negotiate with each other, either jointly govern or keep it as a neutral area. Of course, it can also be decided by who has the bigger fist.

This would be a good way to stir up trouble, but unfortunately Yan Xu thought it was too troublesome at the time. There was only one sect, Youxia Valley, within a radius of 300 miles, and it was a female sect.

We are all cultivators, and gender is not important. The problem is that the leader of Youxia Valley has just passed away, and there is only an acting leader who is in the late foundation building stage.

This world divides the foundation-building stage into nine levels. In fact, after completing the foundation-building stage, it is the Jindan stage, so the strength is not too bad, but it is not the Jindan after all, and you can't show your strength when you go to the door.

"Why don't we take over Youxia Valley?" Xu Feiyan suggested.

For Yan Xu, as long as he didn't provoke any extraordinary earthly immortals, these were all trivial matters, so he nodded.

Although it was Xu Feiyan who proposed it, Luanjian Mountain really couldn't be separated from her for a moment, so she could only let her best friend Lin Xiangqiao take the ghost boy there.

As for why the ghost boy wasn't allowed to go alone, although this guy's surname is not Li, his ability to cause trouble is no less than Nezha's. With his loyal soldiers at his disposal, if he really shows his might, Youxia Valley might be gone. Someone must keep an eye on him.

Lin Xiangqiao, who acted like a stepmother, had just come down the mountain with the seemingly well-behaved ghost boy when this ghost boy revealed his true form. He stepped on the Nether Fire Skeleton, pulled Lin Xiangqiao and flew towards Youxia Valley.

Lin Xiangqiao had long been accustomed to the ghost boy's reckless behavior. She shook her head helplessly, summoned the Jade Ruyi to protect the two of them, and allowed him to continue to accelerate.

Except for Sui Xin's iron-clad soldiers, all of the ghost boy's magic weapons had been re-refined by Yan Xu. They were all of top quality. When he used all his strength to launch them, they were like meteors, and a distance of more than a hundred miles was reached in the blink of an eye. This made him very unsatisfied, but the scene in front of him stunned him, and he no longer cared about such trivial matters.

Youxia Valley has a unique topography, with colorful clouds appearing all year round, like brocade left behind by the Weaver Girl in the human world. Every ray of color seems to appear in a dream, gently spreading across the Youxia Valley, creating an incomparable beauty.

The female cultivators in the valley collect the wandering mist day and night and refine it into unique magical instruments. Although their performance is average, their beauty is unmatched, and they are the dream of countless female cultivators.

Unfortunately, the production is limited and it is difficult to meet the market demand, but it is becoming more and more popular. Logically speaking, Youxia Valley is harmless to humans and animals, and in fact has never been attacked. However, not long after the head of the sect passed away and the acting head of the sect took office, a demon cultivator came to the temple and asked her to present the Hongquan Sword.

Zhou Ruoyun, wearing a colorful dress, watched as the layers of clouds protecting the valley were broken. However, she could only focus on the present and stare closely at the three fellow disciples who were in the foundation-building stage standing in the hall, because at least one of them was a traitor. Otherwise, the demon cultivators outside would never know the secret that only the head of Youxia Valley knew.

"We don't have much time left. We must find the traitor as soon as possible, otherwise today will be the day when Youxia Valley will be wiped out." Zhou Ruoyun said sternly.

This way of handling things is obviously inappropriate, but who can blame her for being forced into this? She was only chosen by the previous leader for her skill in picking clouds and weaving mist, and was appointed as the next leader. How could she have any management experience?

"Master, you know me. If it were me, I would definitely stab you in the back first." The charming woman who was playing with the crystal dagger said nonchalantly.

"Only a person with a mental disorder would cooperate with those vicious and ruthless evil cultivators!" The middle-aged woman, with a tone and expression that did not match hers, stretched out her fingers to look at her nails, then looked up at the head of the sect and said so.

"It's not me anyway." The cold and beautiful woman in black, whose expression had not changed from the beginning, said decisively.

Zhou Ruoyun was just inexperienced, but she was not a fool. She knew at a glance that there was no need to look for them. These three were all traitors. She was so angry that she almost fainted. Why didn’t you call me when you betrayed the sect!

Even though I am the leader, I can do it too.

There was no way. Youxia Valley was just a place selling luxury goods. It didn't have any decent skills or spells. Even the previous leader relied on the accumulation of spiritual medicines to achieve breakthroughs. The medicine was called the Golden Elixir, but it was actually very weak and he passed away when he was over 300 years old.

You have to know that the life span for building the foundation is 200 years, which shows how weak her golden elixir is.

Although it was water, it was a golden elixir after all, so when the previous leader was still alive, everything was peaceful. But as soon as she died, all kinds of monsters and hidden dangers emerged.

In this situation, what can Zhou Ruoyun do? Just because she is the biggest bear?
No matter what, the crisis has to be resolved, otherwise it would be too miserable for her to be the head of the sect.

Just when they were hesitating whether to resist first and then surrender, or to surrender directly, a meteor flew in from the sky, and after pausing in the air for a moment, it turned into a killing star, and the dozen or so demon cultivators who were bombarding Youxia Valley just brushed past it and turned into sparks, and turned into ashes on the spot.

"Master, what are you waiting for? We are determined to protect our homeland to the death!" At some point, three foundation-building managers holding various gorgeous magical instruments and a group of Qi-training disciples stood neatly behind Zhou Ruoyun, with an expression of sharing wealth and adversity, which moved her so much that she was speechless.

I really can’t say it, the insults are too harsh.

"On behalf of Youxia Valley, I am willing to join Luanjian Mountain." Zhou Ruoyun said with great determination, which stunned the ghost boy and Lin Xiangqiao who had just landed. They haven't said any conditions yet?
If she doesn’t join, she will be dead. Zhou Ruoyun becomes more and more determined in her choice.

The three managers behind him looked at each other and thought it was a good idea. If they joined the demon cultivators, they would probably be attacked by all sorts of things. It would be better to join the more powerful Luanjian Mountain.

In fact, if the demon cultivator they contacted had not arrived too quickly, they would have already tied up the leader and taken him to Luanjian Mountain to show their loyalty.

So they stepped forward together, acting as if they would not get up unless you agree. They even had the urge to stab the leader three times to prove their sincerity, so that Lin Xiangqiao quickly agreed. The ghost boy, who was full of expectations, was a little disappointed.
