A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 248 Changes in the Hidden Moon Sect
Where do we go next?

Gan Rushuang turned her head to look.

The others also turned their gazes toward it.

They were unfamiliar with the area and dared not act rashly, so they needed Han Li to guide them and set the pace.

"First, we'll take over the Hidden Moon Sect, then use it as a springboard to secretly join the Joyful Union Sect. With a proper identity, things will be much easier for us."

Han Li said calmly.

Then he opened his right hand and grabbed at the mountains below:
"We must occupy at least one-tenth of this southern region."

The Hidden Moon Sect is like a nail driven into the heart of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance in southern Tiannan.

The Yue Kingdom, occupied by the Hehuan Sect, was like a nail driven into the heart of the Tiannan central region.

The Hehuan Sect itself is located in the eastern part of the south, just like a nail driven into the eastern part of the south, into the heart of the Demonic Heavenly Luo Kingdom.

The three sects of Yunmeng, located in Xi Kingdom in the north of Tianbei, are a necessary thorn in the side. They will be taken down later to secure the interests on Qiling Island.

Then there's the far west, in the hurricane-ridden desert to the west.

Once his plan is complete, then of the six major regions of Tiannan, only the territory of the Righteous Alliance will remain untouched by his influence.

As for why the Hidden Moon Sect was taken over first instead of the Falling Cloud Sect? Of course, it was to make the Hidden Moon Sect the scapegoat first. If trouble was caused, the Hidden Moon Sect would take the blame, so as not to implicate the Falling Cloud Sect and Master Hong Fu.

Upon hearing this and seeing this, the others didn't react much.

Gan Rushuang's expression changed slightly, and she frowned.

"Can it be done?"

Is the man in my wife a little too ambitious?

"Isn't the current Hehuan Old Demon just a Hehuan Sect member who joined halfway through his life?"

Han Li withdrew his right hand and put it back behind his back.

He then added:
"Moreover, as long as you take charge of the Hidden Moon Sect, and then contact Old Demon Yunlu, that guy will most likely be willing to make an introduction."

"Besides, what we want is not the trust of the Hehuan Sect, but another identity. As long as Old Demon Yunlu and the others are willing to provide some cover and show that we have been in seclusion for hundreds of years since joining the sect and have not come out of the mountains, and that we are the Hehuan Sect's trump card that has been hidden for many years, what can outsiders say?"

The Ghost Spirit Sect has done this before.

The Yan family also has hidden lineages.

Having the backing of a major sect or family is the best form of identification.

If all else fails, we can make do with the facade of the Hidden Moon Sect for now.

Past traces can be completely faked.

You should know that he can not only forge traces, but also memories. If the major powers in Tiannan are really eager to know the past of Barbarian Beard and Qingyi Hermit, he can simply alter the memories of certain people and send them to them.

"I'm afraid my strength is no match for my senior sister."

Gan Rushuang was somewhat worried.

"Don't you still have us by your side?"

Han Li smiled faintly.

Even though the burly man from the Yan family had already condensed his Nascent Soul, giving the Hidden Moon Sect an additional Nascent Soul cultivator, he was still no match for them.

Not to mention, the enemy is in the open, while we are in the dark.

"Let's go, let's go to the Hidden Moon Sect and see your senior sister."

He had already conceived these plans in his mind long ago.

Whether it will work or not, we'll find out by trying.

...

The land of the far west.

It is the size of two medium-sized countries.

The population is also quite large.

This place was originally the backyard of the major sects of the righteous and demonic factions, but it was divided up by various forces.

Later, an unknown Nascent Soul cultivator seized the place and took over the position of leader of the Thousand Bamboo Sect. The resources that had been offered as tribute were now all left within the Thousand Bamboo Sect. These resources, however, helped the sect cultivate a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than ten Core Formation cultivators.

Several major sects, including the Righteous Heavenly Extreme Sect, sent people to investigate in secret, intending to take action against the Nascent Soul cultivator.

But years passed in the blink of an eye, and there was no news of the other party.

The most troublesome stage is the dormant Nascent Soul stage.

After some discussion, the major sects of the righteous path decided to observe the situation for a period of time.

It was at this time that they spotted the migrating swallow family.

Their investigation revealed that Yan Xuanhao of the Yan family was not the same person from back then. Moreover, since the Yan family arrived, they have been very sensible, only occupying a small piece of spiritual vein land in the far west to develop their family, and had no intention of encroaching on this area.

Seeing this, the major sects, including Tianji Sect, stopped being aggressive.

Furthermore, they didn't want to alert the person behind the Thousand Bamboo Sect by involving the Yan family. Some even hoped that the Yan family would confront the Nascent Soul stage leader of the Thousand Bamboo Sect lurking in the shadows.

then.

The Yan family gradually established itself in this delicate situation, and over the decades, they have multiplied for one or two generations.

In the far northwest, near the sea, lies a vital energy source.

Here stands Yanling Fort, rebuilt by the Yan family.

Inside the fortress, the atmosphere was relaxed and lively.

"Xiao Hao, over the years, it seems that our Yan family has not declined, but has become even more prosperous?"

The patriarch of the Yan family, with his white beard, looked at the family's prosperity with great satisfaction.

"Indeed, it has become even more prosperous. The Yan family is able to achieve what it is today thanks to your wisdom and decisiveness, Second Grandfather, in withdrawing from that tiny country of Beiliang in time. Otherwise, the elite direct descendants of the clan would probably have been sent to the border of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance as cannon fodder by those two from the Hidden Moon Sect and the old thief Linghu from Huangfeng Valley. There would be no such good situation as we have now."

Beside the Yan family patriarch, a burly, towering man exclaimed in admiration.

This person is none other than Yan Xuanhao, the current Nascent Soul cultivator of the Yan family.

He is also Yan Ruyan's cousin.

He was once the foremost figure in the hidden lineage of the Yan family.

"I was just speculating."

The Yan family patriarch waved his hand:

"But that Nascent Soul cultivator named Wen Tianren was kind to us that day, showing us the right path."

"Although the situation in this far west is delicate, it is the most suitable place for the development of a family like my Yan family."

"As long as the leader of the Thousand Bamboo Sect in the far west does not show up, we will be safe."

"... "

"Dozens of local men with dual spiritual roots and special physiques, from other families, have married into my Yan family..."

"Dozens of female cultivators with exceptional spiritual roots have married into my Yan family..."

These are all forms of wealth.

It's something that even wealth can't buy.

"In addition, the annual income of two to three hundred thousand spirit stones is enough to cover the family's expenses. It's enough to save up some wealth for you and Ruyan."

"At least we won't have to sit around and squander our resources like we did during the Yue and Northern Liang periods."

"Give us another hundred years or so to develop, until Ruyan also condenses her Nascent Soul. At that time, as long as our Yan family doesn't go too far and doesn't try to monopolize the Far West, I think the major sects of the righteous path will turn a blind eye."

"In my lifetime, I have witnessed my family rise from decline to prosperity, and that is enough. I am content."

He is now five hundred years old.

There isn't much time left.

I am truly satisfied to have witnessed my family overcome numerous perilous encounters and grow to its current state.

"Second Grandfather, the spies from the Hidden Pulse say that the Hidden Moon Sect, together with the Yellow Maple Valley, is searching for us everywhere. If those people find us in the far west, what should we do?" "Don't worry, it's not as troublesome as you think. Time is on our side."

The old man said calmly.

"How to say?"

The burly middle-aged man humbly sought advice.

The old man stroked his beard, looking quite confident.

"Currently, the situation in Tiannan is tense. The Heavenly Dao Alliance is constantly clashing with the righteous and demonic paths, the Nine Kingdoms Alliance is fiercely fighting with the Mulan people, and chaos is breaking out in many places. It is no longer as peaceful as it used to be. As a result, many high-level cultivators no longer dare to travel freely, and very few come to the far west."

"Secondly, in the eyes of the major powers, this land in the far west is the backyard of the major sects of the righteous path, and the Thousand Bamboo Sect already exists here, with a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge. Therefore, no Nascent Soul cultivator would be so foolish as to come here to establish a sect. Those two from the Hidden Moon Sect would not have expected that we would come here to confront the major sects of the righteous path and the Thousand Bamboo Sect, nor would they have expected that we would come here to snatch food from the tiger's mouth."

"But they don't know that our Yan family was invited by Wen Tianren, the leader of the Thousand Bamboo Sect!"

"Even if those two from the Hidden Moon Sect attack, what do we have to fear now?"

They've already spent a lot of money to upgrade the fortress's defensive formation.

Do you really think they're still the little brothers who had to rely on Huangfeng Valley and Yanyue Sect when they faced them?

The Yan family patriarch said, "The major righteous sects are hoping that our Yan family will take action against the Thousand Bamboo Sect, force out the sect leader Wen, and attract hatred."

The burly uncle immediately shook his head: "How could I possibly make such a low-level mistake? We understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'."

The old man and the middle-aged man exchanged a glance and both smiled.

They both knew very well that as long as the Thousand Bamboo Sect existed, their Yan family could continue to develop relatively stably on this land.

"We're just waiting for Ruyan to make a further progress. You should give her more guidance in the meantime."

"it is good."

...

Nine Kingdoms Alliance, Northern Liang Kingdom, Linglong Mountain.

This place boasts beautiful mountains and clear waters, with the mountains shrouded in spiritual energy, making it a rare and precious land.

However, what outsiders cannot see is that beneath this ethereal beauty, a persistent gloom lingers.

Several months ago, a council meeting was held in the mountaintop council hall, with only seven or eight monks participating.

The leaders were a man and a woman.

It was the First Elder and the Second Elder.

Below were several Core Formation cultivators.

At that time, the head elder, dressed in white and as beautiful as any woman, asked his disciples:
"Have you found the Yan family? What did they say from Huangfeng Valley? Have you found any clues?"

Upon hearing this, the Core Formation cultivators below all shook their heads.

Even a middle-aged cultivator at the Core Formation stage stepped forward to report:
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, Senior Brother Lei Wanhe of Huangfeng Valley has cooperated with our investigation and found no trace of the Yan family's large-scale migration. It's as if they evaporated without a sound."

"how is this possible?"

The Grand Elder frowned, his face showing displeasure:

"If the Yan family wants to develop its clan, it's impossible for them not to choose the best spiritual mountains and treasure lands. But the Tiannan region is only so big, and the good spiritual veins have already been divided and occupied by various forces. Where could those members of the Yan family hide? Our Hidden Moon Sect and Yellow Maple Valley are searching together, so how could we not have any clues?"

The burly man beside him also seemed to be deep in thought:
"Back then, the Yan family deeply offended the Wang family of the Ghost Spirit Sect. The Wang family hated the Yan family to the bone. Therefore, the Yan family would never dare to go to the Tianluo Kingdom, Yue Kingdom, Yuanwu Kingdom, and other countries in the southern hinterland."

That area is, after all, an area where demonic forces are active.

"The righteous path also cannot accept the Yan family because their ancestors came from the demonic Ghost Spirit Sect.

"The only places the Yan family can go are the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the borderlands of my Nine Kingdoms Alliance, and the neutral Eastern Yu Kingdom..."

The Kingdom of Dongyu is located in the Valley of Fallen Demons, a land spanning four to five million li.

In ancient times, it was a key location in Tiannan and the site of Lingmiao Garden.

Later, it was ravaged and became a neutral place recognized by all major powers, and no party was allowed to establish a sect or lineage there.

Dongyu Kingdom is also the only country without a major sect.

That place was a haven for many large and small cultivation families.

"Are there any clues from Dongyu Kingdom?"

"Reporting to Uncle-Master, we have sent people to search all four major mountain ranges of Dongyu Kingdom, including the million-mile-long ring mountain surrounding Fallen Demon Valley. We have not found any trace of the Yan family."

"Where did they hide? Did they really go to the Heavenly Alliance?"

The Nascent Soul cultivator frowned in thought.

The Grand Elder's expression grew increasingly grim.

Back then, Gan Rushuang betrayed the Hidden Moon Sect, making it impossible for her to explain to Wei Lichen of the Wei family.

After apologizing, it was decided that Yan Ruyan would replace Gan Rushuang as compensation.

But she cannot be a concubine; she must be a wife.

After all, Yan Ruyan is a genius with a Heavenly Spiritual Root. If she were to have children with a husband who also possesses a Heavenly Spiritual Root, there is a very high probability that the child will also have the same Heavenly Spiritual Root. Furthermore, the Yan family also has a Nascent Soul cultivator named "Yan Xuanhao" within the Hidden Moon Sect.

In this situation, taking a concubine would be a blatant disregard for the Yan family and the Hidden Moon Sect.

However, Wei Lichen also proposed to marry into the Yanyue Sect and become a member of the sect.

Wei Lichen's purpose was obvious.

They simply wanted to wait until she passed away so that the Wei family and the Huayi Sect could annex the Yanyue Sect and the Yan family from top to bottom.

Wei Lichen certainly had a good plan.

It may seem like just a marriage into another family, but in reality, it's a win-win situation for both the person and the family.

But she did not refuse.

Because she doesn't have much time.

The time for the seal on Fallen Demon Valley to loosen is fast approaching.

Wei Wuyai, one of the three great cultivators of Tiannan who is also troubled by the issue of lifespan, will most likely try to get in.

She couldn't go in alone; the risk was too great. If she could befriend the Wei family and team up with Wei Wuyai, or rather, get some help from him, her chances of entering the Fallen Demon Valley, surviving, and finding the longevity elixir would be much greater.

She only has a hundred years left to live.

However, what Elder Ni Cai never expected was that not only did Gan Ru Shuang defy her, but the Yan family also betrayed her and the Hidden Moon Sect.

The Yan family could clearly also gain huge benefits from this marriage alliance.

Why don’t you agree?

Why were all the direct descendants of the clan secretly transferred?
Why did you abandon your sect?

"Find him! We must find him before the Fallen Demon Valley opens. I want to ask Junior Brother Yan what he's thinking. Tell Huangfeng Valley, Qingxu Sect, and the other sects that I will reward them handsomely if they find him."

The Grand Elder took a deep breath and spoke calmly.

"Yes."

All the cultivators at the Core Formation stage responded in unison.

After everyone left, the Grand Elder sat back on his throne, utterly exhausted.

...

"arrive."

At the foot of Linglong Mountain, a group of people appeared.

It was Gan Rushuang, Han Li, Man Huzi, Qing Yi, and Yuan Yao.

Yanli Mei Ning Wen Siyue watched from a nearby town.

"Use the Shapeshifting Technique to touch it, reducing the chance of accidents."

"it is good."
