Qin Shi: I went astray in the Heavenly Sect

Chapter 88 Driving a Wolf to Devour a Tiger, Yan Lingji's Obstruction

"who is he??"

In the Han Royal Palace, under a pavilion, Honglian stretched her body. The boy hadn't said much, but she could sense that he meant her no harm.

Such skill at such a young age is rare in South Korea. And there's something else that makes her even more curious: what has this person gone through to possess such composure at such a young age?

In the end, she still didn't know what the other person's name was.

On the other side, Wei Zhuang's arrival facilitated the transaction, and Han Fei also obtained the strange bottle.

In the Purple Orchid Pavilion, Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, Zi Nu, Zhang Liang and others took the bottle one after another and examined it carefully for a while.

"This is not a Korean craft."

Wei Zhuang's eyes flickered slightly. He had been in Korea for several years and was very familiar with Korean craftsmanship, if not by name. The patterns on the small bottle were definitely not Korean; they looked more like those of the Baiyue people.

"Indeed, it looks more like the Baiyue people."

Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, then added a sentence.

"Tianze wouldn't use something useless as a bargaining chip; that's not in his character."

Zi Nu crossed her arms and spoke softly. Ripples stirred deep within her calm gaze. After returning to Zi Lan Xuan, she couldn't help but recall the reaction of the Corpse Demon at the former site of the Zheng Kingdom.

She was certain that someone had secretly helped her at the time, otherwise the Corpse-Driving Demon wouldn't have reacted that way. As for who that person was, the image of a little guy flashed through her mind.

“Tianze once said that some people think they control everything, but Baiyue will destroy everything. If I’m not mistaken, what’s inside is very likely the means by which Nightfall controls him.”

Upon hearing Han Fei's analysis, the group all nodded in agreement.

Unfortunately, things had come to this point and they were powerless to continue. In the end, Wei Zhuang picked up the small bottle and left Zilan Pavilion.

"Young master, what should we do next?"

On the way back, Zhang Liang couldn't help but ask.

Han Fei's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said in a deep voice, "Zifang, please calm down. We don't have many clues yet, so we can only start with the small bottle. However, this matter is most likely related to Nightfall. Let's see what intelligence Wei Zhuang can bring back first."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang nodded slightly. Given the current situation, this seemed to be the best solution.

As the stars began to set, Tianze looked at the intelligence report in his hand with a somewhat surprised expression.

"You mean the treasure of Baiyue is related to this Nongyu??"

The Corpse-Driving Demon nodded slightly.

He learned the information unintentionally from the vulture. He knew that Tianze cared a lot about the Baiyue treasure, so he didn't dare to delay and came to report it immediately.

Tianze clenched his fists and gave a cold smile; this was an unexpected surprise for him.

"Good, where is she?"

The Corpse-Driving Demon's face darkened, and he uttered three words in a deep voice.

"Purple Orchid Pavilion".

Upon hearing this, Tianze was taken aback. Even though he had only recently left the dungeon, he had already heard of this place.

Because that was the stronghold of Quicksand, and Wei Zhuang within Quicksand was a formidable opponent, unlike Han Fei and Zi Nu. Furthermore, from today's encounter, he had also discovered a problem: Han Fei, the Ninth Prince of Han, was not as easy to deal with as he appeared. Recalling the scene of today's battle, Tianze reached for his chest. His own hidden dangers were not yet eliminated, and it was not advisable to antagonize Quicksand again. And then there was that sword. With this thought, he slammed his fist against the wall beside him and let out a cold snort.

"Reverse Scale!!"

The Corpse-Driving Demon's eyes flickered, and he spoke softly.

"Perhaps the master can use this to his advantage, and then we can take advantage of the chaos."

Upon hearing this, Tianze subconsciously looked over. Without needing the Corpse Demon's explanation, he understood what this meant. He wasn't the only one interested in the Baiyue treasure; Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei were also equally interested.

It's not convenient for me to target Quicksand right now, but the two of them are different.

After thinking for a while, Tianze shook his head again. It would be much easier to snatch Nongyu from Liusha than from Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei. If Ji Wuye really succeeded, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven for him to get his hands on her again.

Just then, Yan Lingji stepped in.

She had overheard the conversation between the Corpse Demon and Tianze, but she did not agree with the decision.

Who Nongyu was was not important to her, but there was one thing that caught her attention.

This girl has a deep connection with Qingxu. Don't be fooled by the fact that the young man doesn't get involved in Korean affairs; no one can guarantee that he will remain neutral forever. If Qingxu gets involved because of Nongyu, it would be a loss for them.

"Master, we must not touch that girl."

Tianze frowned. Although he knew in his heart that they couldn't touch this person named Nongyu, he was still annoyed by Yan Lingji's words.

“I know that it is not advisable for us to antagonize the quicksand now. We can wait until they bring me what I want before we make our move.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji was taken aback at first, then shook her head. Her considerations differed from Tianze's.

"Does Master still remember the boy I mentioned before?"

Tianze turned around and looked over, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

"Oh?"

Yan Lingji lowered her eyelids and spoke in a deep voice.

"I suppose Master has made some progress in his investigation over the past few days. I might as well tell Master that he is in Zilan Pavilion and has a deep connection with this girl named Nongyu. He knew of Master's existence long before Master was freed from his predicament. If he is brought to his doom because of this girl named Nongyu, it will be a disaster for us."

The atmosphere froze. Tianze and the Corpse-Driving Demon had previously suspected that the boy might know Tianze's information, and now that Yan Lingji had personally confirmed this suspicion, their expressions darkened.

"Yan Lingji, I'm very curious just how strong that little guy you mentioned is that makes you so hesitant? We've crawled out of piles of corpses; at worst, we'll die again. Being timid and fearful isn't the style of the Baiyue people!!"

Yan Lingji's heart sank. Tianze's words probably meant he had already made up his mind. But how could he know the terrifying strength of that boy if they had never actually fought? Tianze probably never imagined that even he himself couldn't run away from that boy!
"When I fought him, he subdued me with just one move; I couldn't even run away."

Upon hearing this, Tianze was stunned. He knew Yan Lingji's strength; although she was not as strong as him, the difference was not that great.

With a single move, one can subdue an opponent, leaving them no chance to escape. The difference between them is even greater than the difference between an adult and a child.

"This is impossible!!"

Yan Lingji sighed.

"Yes! That's what I thought at first too!"
