Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 662 Each with their own selfish motives

Seeing Du Xingcai walk away, Yu Changsheng smiled at Lin Hao and said, "Senior, this time I also had to disguise myself again to enter Sanling Town."

"Please, senior, lend me your time and change my appearance once again."

Lin Hao thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just this.

Lin Hao naturally wouldn't refuse such a request, ever since the Third Elder told him to fully support Yu Changsheng.

Lin Hao had long since stopped caring about the value of a disguise mask. Even if Yu Changsheng changed into ten different faces, it wouldn't be a problem.

Lin Hao removed the mask from Yu Changsheng's face, then cast a spell to change his appearance, and with the help of Yu Changsheng's slight bone reduction, altered his appearance.

Soon, Yu Changsheng had become a completely different person.

Sanling Town.

City Lord's Mansion.

Wang Haitang, Li Muling, and Xuan Yuanhai got together.

Li Muling asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Xuan Yuanhai said, "It doesn't mean anything. According to the previous plan, Elder Wu has been hesitant to attack, so he probably has already given up on this idea."

"In that case, there's no need for us to stay here any longer. I think we should leave now and each guard our own posts."

"Once one side is attacked, it's not too late for the other two sides to provide support."

Wang Haitang nodded, agreeing with that sentiment.

He also discussed many things with Xuanyuan Hai recently.

Although he originally did not want to fight and separate, giving the other party an opportunity to take advantage.

But now, there are even more threatening people in front of us.

Elder Wu may not attack Sanling Town, but that mysterious expert is very likely to pose a great threat to the cultivators in Sanling Town.

In particular, cultivators with exceptionally high individual strength are sometimes more dangerous than a large power.

After all, the other party can come and go without a trace, and you might not even know when you've been targeted.

Compared to Elder Wu, Wang Haitang was more afraid of that mysterious expert.

Therefore, weighing the pros and cons, the lesser of two evils was chosen, and the natural course of action was to separate the garrisons.

Anyway, he didn't offend that mysterious expert, so it's up to Li Muling to deal with this headache.

"You, you!"

Li Muling never expected that these two guys would be so treacherous.

However, Li Muling also automatically forgot about the fact that he had betrayed the two of them to Yu Changsheng.

"Very well! Is this how you treat your allies?"

Li Muling was also extremely angry.

Xuan Yuanhai comforted him, "Hehe, Li Muling, that's not how it works."

"Everyone was doing just fine until you had to resort to such ruthless measures against the Xie family, causing such a huge mess. Who can you blame?"

"That expert didn't come earlier or later, but only appeared after you did those heinous things. It's retribution."

"In short, don't expect Lord Wang and I to clean up your mess."

"You'll have to figure out how the expert will deal with it yourself."

Wang Haitang nodded slightly; Xuan Yuanhai's words made sense.

"Li Muling, you don't need to be anxious. Let's not even talk about whether that mysterious expert will take a huge risk to seek revenge on you after saving people."

"Even if they come, with your strength, it's not a problem to stop them or even escape, as long as you don't fight them head-on."

"If you encounter danger, just come to Sanling Town to take refuge. When the time comes, Xuan Yuan Hai and I will naturally lend a hand."

"That mysterious expert has been roaming around and poses a certain threat to us."

Xuanyuan Hai also took the opportunity to nod and say, "That's right, that's what I meant too."

Seeing that the two had already made up their minds, Li Muling knew that it would be futile for him to resist.

He snorted coldly, "Fine, since you two have made your decision, what else can I say? Farewell, my Li family will naturally withdraw from Sanling Town."

"Wang Haitang, I hope you will remember the decision you made today."

Wang Haitang tried to stop him, but his raised hand was pressed down.

He didn't believe Li Muling would dare to oppose him at this time.

After all, he was also involved in the siege and killing of the Xie and Du families.

Li Muling stormed off with the men lying in ambush outside the city, still somewhat worried on the way.

They had hoped to use the power of the Xuanyuan family and the city lord's mansion to find a way to capture that mysterious expert.

But now that the plan has fallen through, Li Muling can only turn his attention to other people.

After much thought, there is only one option left.

Li Muling immediately sent a message to Yu Changsheng, saying that as long as Yu Changsheng was willing to help him find the mysterious expert's whereabouts, he would be willing to help him deal with the two major forces in the final battle.

Otherwise, if he didn't see that mysterious expert on the day the war started, he wouldn't have made a move, and might even have turned against Yu Changsheng.

Li Muling held the communication jade slip in his palm, then cast a spell to release it, and the jade slip immediately flew out.

At this moment, Yu Changsheng had arrived at the gate of Sanling Town. He was disguised as a pale-faced scholar dressed in luxurious robes.

He looks like a rich young master who came from who-knows-where.

Upon entering the city, Yu Changsheng immediately went to the Five Elements Auction House.

Today marks the approach of the monthly auction.

Therefore, the number of people is much larger than the last time Yu Changsheng came to this place.

Yu Changsheng decided to participate in another auction in Rand. Last time, he was lucky enough to encounter a dark-attribute spiritual object, which was already considered extremely lucky.

He doesn't believe he'll have a second stroke of luck.

However, he had already contacted Manager Qiao before the last time.

Help him keep an eye out for dark-attribute spiritual objects; if any are found, he's willing to pay a high price to buy them.

Manager Qiao readily agreed to this request, since it didn't matter to him who the goods were sold to.

He wouldn't resist such a good deal that allows him to both reap benefits and gain a favor.

Yu Changsheng was able to enter the auction house directly using his platinum card.

Then, they easily found Manager Qiao.

Upon seeing the seemingly scholarly man before him, Manager Qiao was still pondering the man's identity.

Those who can enter this place must be extremely wealthy and powerful, but he had no recollection of the person in front of him at all.

Just as Steward Qiao was about to ask a question, he heard a familiar voice.

"Hehe, Manager Qiao, don't panic, it's me."

Although Yu Changsheng did not change back to Zhou Wangzhi's previous appearance.

But Manager Qiao couldn't be mistaken about that voice, after all, it had left a very deep impression on him.

"Who are you? How did you manage to disguise yourself and get here?"

Yu Changsheng said helplessly, "After all, my identity is still too sensitive in Sanling Town, and there are quite a few people who want to kill me."

"So I had no choice but to change my appearance."

Zhou Wangzhi's face, although the biggest threat before was that Manager Wang.

However, with Manager Wang dead, Zhou Wangzhi shouldn't be in too much danger, in theory. But Yu Changsheng didn't dare to take the risk.

Manager Qiao didn't care what Yu Changsheng looked like now; he just wanted to know why Yu Changsheng had come here at such a great risk.

"Zhou Wangzhi, don't go too far! I already made an exception for you last time!"

"You won't get another chance this time!"

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "Manager Qiao, don't be so quick to refuse. Why don't you listen to my offer?"

Manager Qiao ignored him and said, "No matter the price, I almost got exposed last time I helped you! There are clearly twice as many eyes and ears watching here."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"The fact that you and I met alone already knew about it."

"While there's still some time left, quickly buy something and leave."

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "Steward Qiao, does that mean the City Lord's Mansion is monitoring everything you do? Will Steward Qiao have any secrets left?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Qiao became furious. "How dare you say that? Isn't this all your fault?"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up in this state!"

Yu Changsheng said, "That's right, this matter is indeed related to me, so this time I came to give Manager Qiao a chance to get rid of those guys completely and move freely in Sanling Town."

Upon hearing Yu Changsheng's words, Manager Qiao's expression immediately changed, and he instantly realized the meaning behind Yu Changsheng's words.

"What are you going to do? Are you kidding me?"

Yu Changsheng gave him an affirmative answer. He and Wang Haitang were bound to have a battle sooner or later, so this time, he also asked Manager Qiao to help out.

"Are you kidding me? The Five Elements Auction House doesn't get involved in the squabbles between people like you."

"Besides, we don't have many cultivators here. There's only one Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, so he can't be of much help."

Yu Changsheng said, "There's no need for Steward Qiao to participate in the battle. Just use some means to dismantle the defensive array of Sanling Town from the inside before the battle begins."

"Steward Qiao deserves the most credit! From now on, Steward Qiao will also have a place in the City Lord's Mansion of Sanling Town!"

Upon hearing Yu Changsheng's words, Manager Qiao's heart pounded.

He never imagined that he would be involved in such a matter.

"Impossible. So what if you take over Sanling Town?"

"How do you think you can deal with the Wang family's power behind him? Wang Donghai is not someone Wang Haitang can compare to."

Yu Changsheng was naturally very confident about this.

He told him about the matter between the Second Elder and the Third Elder.

Even if Sanling Town were to be captured, the Second Elder would have little resources left to provide support.

On the contrary, they will have a real headache figuring out how to deal with the problems here.

Manager Qiao was also deep in thought. This was a decision that needed to be made, as it involved considerable risk.

Winning is naturally a cause for celebration, but losing could mean the difference between life and death.

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "Manager Qiao, we cultivators strive against Heaven, against man, and against the Great Dao in order to reach a level that our predecessors could not attain. Does Manager Qiao perhaps only wish to sit peacefully in this Sanling Town for the rest of his life?"

"They've been constantly monitored by Wang Haitang, unable to step out of the auction house?"

"Is this kind of life even fit for a human being?"

"Now that we have this opportunity, why not give it a try? Even if we fail, given Manager Qiao's status, Wang Haitang won't do anything to us; at most, we'll just have to retreat to another city."

Manager Qiao closed his eyes in deep thought, listening to Yu Changsheng's advice from the side.

After careful consideration, Steward Qiao slowly opened his eyes.

"I never expected you to be so eloquent. I must say, you really convinced me."

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "Manager Qiao, this is almost a sure-fire way to make money."

"You only need to send someone to tamper with the defensive array of Sanling Town from the inside, and you don't need to do anything else."

"If it's done discreetly, it might not even be noticed by anyone."

"As long as Manager Qiao's people don't get exposed, even if we lose, we definitely won't betray Manager Qiao. After all, we might be able to cooperate in the future."

"Manager Qiao only needs to think about how to avoid being discovered by the cultivators in the city. Once the great battle begins, almost all the cultivators will be drawn there, giving Manager Qiao many opportunities to make his move."

"We will also cooperate with Manager Qiao outside."

Manager Qiao finally nodded slightly, "Alright! Let's do it your way!"

Yu Changsheng could finally rest assured. With Steward Qiao's involvement, not only could the problem of the city's defensive array be solved.

For Yu Changsheng, the most important thing was not this, but that it was already certain that Steward Qiao would almost certainly not help Wang Haitang. That was the most important thing.

Of course, the possibility that Manager Qiao is betting on both sides cannot be completely ruled out.

But upon closer examination, this possibility is actually quite small.

Even if Manager Qiao helps Wang Haitang win, he may not necessarily gain any benefit.

But if they help Yu Changsheng and his group win, they will be major contributors, and the benefits for both sides are completely unequal.

Yu Changsheng said, "Now that we are partners, I have another request and would like to ask Manager Qiao for help."

Manager Joe said, "Go ahead and tell me. As long as it's within my power, I can help."

Yu Changsheng said, "Actually, we just need some talismans and elixirs for use in battle. After all, anything can happen in a great battle."

"Therefore, it's always better to be well-prepared."

Manager Qiao thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just providing some resources. These were things that his auction house could have as many as they wanted.

Therefore, providing it is effortless.

"No problem."

Manager Qiao took out two storage bags from his pocket and handed them to Yu Changsheng.

"Three hundred Blazing Flame Talismans, three hundred Ice Soul Talismans, three hundred Thunder Talismans, and three hundred Divine Sword Talismans."

"In addition, the other storage bag is full of pills that can enhance combat abilities and restore health; that should be enough for you."

Yu Changsheng took the storage bag and checked it briefly. To his surprise, it was indeed complete.

At this moment, one has to admire Manager Qiao's skill.

These things are indeed not easy to take out, especially these combat-type talismans, which are consumed in large quantities and are almost always in short supply.

It's quite remarkable that Manager Qiao was able to produce so much.

Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Steward Qiao, these things are not something you're giving away for nothing. Once we capture Sanling Town, we will naturally repay you double." (End of this chapter)
