I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 274

Zhao Shikang sighed, knowing that this man was not his subordinate. He did not get as furious as before, but was polite. He did not dare to call him a humble young man, but he did have his own bearing.

"That's fine. I was just testing the waters. It seems like forcing them won't work. The election is only five days away. I need to prepare early. Maybe I can win them over."

Yang Rulong nodded and said, "Hall Master Ye has ordered me to fully assist Young Master Zhao in obtaining the position of Lord of Jiulian City so that I can retrieve the secret treasures of our sect. During this period, if Young Master Zhao has any instructions, I will do my utmost to fulfill them!"

Zhao Shikang quickly returned the greeting and said, "Brother Yang, you are too polite. Brother Yang is a rare talent. My master said that he is just a dragon swimming in the shallows now. If he gets the right time one day, he will return to the sea. I hope Brother Yang will not forget his old friend!"

The two exchanged pleasantries, their relationship becoming more harmonious. Yang Rulong then said, "Now I'm going to report back to the hall master. Mr. Zhao, I'll take my leave now."

Zhao Shikang naturally would not stop him and stood up to see him off. In the eyes of other servants, he was naturally a guest official recruited by their own master. Since Zhao Shikang acted in a domineering manner and did not allow others to interfere, these servants would not ask anything if he did not take the initiative. They just silently memorized this person's appearance and would not offend him in the future.

After Yang Rulong left, Zhao Shikang returned to the room with a bad look on his face. He stood in the room thinking for a long time and sighed softly.

"My dear fourth brother, why can't you just stay here quietly? If that's the case, don't blame me!"

After he finished speaking, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and then he sat down at the table and wrote a letter.

On the other side, Yang Rulong naturally found Ye Chaoci's residence.

"How is it? There is no 'tail', right?" Ye Chaoci was playing with a jade pendant in his hand, facing Yang Rulong sideways, and half of his face did not show any joy or sadness.

Yang Rulong said softly, "There were three of them when I went to Mr. Zhao's house, but I got rid of them after I came out."

Ye Chaoci nodded gently and said, "Well, with your skills, I don't think someone is following you without knowing it. Now that the selection of the City Lord of Jiulian City is imminent, the city is full of good and bad people. Although we don't aspire to be the City Lord, we have to push Kang'er into that position so that we can act properly. After all, you two, master and disciple, have too little information. We only have a rough location and the time when the secret vault will be opened. When the time comes, Kang'er will have to mobilize his power to cover it up so that we can act properly."

Yang Rulong sighed and said, "The matter of the secret vault is of great importance. My master only got the information by chance, so naturally there are some omissions. However, the time and place are absolutely correct. It's just that the entrance cannot be revealed until the right time."

When he said this, Ye Chaoci turned around. The moonlight reflected his cheeks like white jade. Although his hair was white, it matched with his pair of deep eyes, which made him have a demonic charm.

"By the way, that young monk from Guangde Temple seems to be on the Talent List. Come to think of it, you seem to be a frequent visitor to the Talent List as well. How was our conversation last night?"

Yang Rulong naturally knew what he was asking, so he said, "This little monk is very difficult to deal with. He has high martial arts skills and his techniques are quite complex and not simple. If he uses all his strength, I may not be his opponent."

"A dragon appeared while diving? These monks have really found a treasure. It seems that there is a newcomer in the Blood River Path who has some connection with him. It is also an old story of the Dongfang family. It can be regarded as an example of failure. After winning over the Dongfang family, he was discovered by the righteous people. On the surface, they surrounded the two innate demons, but secretly, he was also a target. It's just that the evidence was unclear at that time. They only said that he was practicing the Blood River magic privately, but there was no solid evidence of collusion with us. That's why Guangde Temple suppressed Dongfang Liang for more than ten years. He was rescued not long ago, with several remnants of the Dongfang family, but he also got some resources." Ye Chaoci spoke of this old story as if he knew it like the back of his hand. His tone was flat, but the meaning behind his words was very obvious. In just one or two days, he had investigated Li Ming's life experience clearly, which shows the power of the Demon Sect.

But the more Yang Rulong listened, the more frightened he became. Although he had long known that the foreign demon sects had encroached on the Central Plains, he had not expected that there were so many arrangements. It was like an invisible spider web in the dark that had already enveloped the entire Central Plains.

In the past decade or so, one node after another on the grid has begun to move. The demise of Xuanzhen Sect seems accidental, but it also seems inevitable. The struggle between the two forces means that even a sect as large as Xuanzhen Sect can be easily destroyed.

When he read this, Yang Rulong felt a bit sad.

Yang Rulong was born in the Xuanzhen Sect and was originally the backbone of the righteous path. He himself was also a true disciple of the sect and was also well-known in Yizhou. People regarded him as the hope of the future.

He thought that he would move forward step by step, and no matter whether he could win the position of the headmaster, he could not escape the position of elder. But who knew that the world would change overnight, and all the elders of the sect would be caught up in the vortex. Now the master and the disciple were forced to leave their hometown and live under the care of others, and they also became evil demons that were not tolerated by the righteous path.

What exactly did Yang Rulong do wrong?
Sometimes he would think so himself, but he could not get any results. Perhaps from the day he joined Xuanzhen Sect, practiced Xuanzhen Sect's martial arts, enjoyed the resources and status and honors, he was destined to escape this ending.

It was because of his strong character, otherwise, most people would have collapsed after encountering such a sudden change. As a true disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect, he was naturally not comparable to ordinary people. He managed to escape with his seriously injured master, and in order to survive, he had to contact the Demonic Path, and has come to this point.

Sometimes he would feel conflicted, wondering if he was still the one who was living now.

Perhaps it was just a body called Yang Rulong, filled with the flame of hatred that quietly burned everything he had, his honor, his dignity, and his personality.

He has lost a lot, a lot.

"The four holy places are high and mighty, doing evil things. The people are living in misery. They have long been looking forward to being rescued by our Holy Sect. This is what the people want!" Yang Rulong said with a serious face.

Ye Chaoci then sneered, remaining noncommittal. He then said, "My disciple is unteachable. If it weren't for his background, I wouldn't have accepted him as my disciple. There are some things you don't need to tell him. You must know that our most important goal is to retrieve the treasures hidden in the secret vault. When necessary, some things should be discarded. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Yang Rulong clasped his hands together and answered respectfully, but he was startled in his heart.

Then Ye Chaoci said with a half-smile, "This is the rule of the Saint Sect. There aren't so many twists and turns. If you don't want to be abandoned, you must show your value! It won't be long since you joined our sect, and you will slowly understand."
