Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"I never expected him to die so easily!"

Yu Changsheng shook his head, then immediately went over and rummaged through the white-robed cultivator's body for a while before taking a storage bag.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators were stunned, not expecting Yu Changsheng to act so swiftly.

Yu Changsheng didn't give the Nascent Soul cultivators a chance to speak, and immediately laughed, "Hehe, seniors."

"Now that we have completely conquered the entire Sanling Town, there must still be many unknown dangers within. Don't you seniors want to take a look?"

Several Nascent Soul cultivators were taken aback for a moment, but immediately realized what was happening.

Yes, how many good things could these Nascent Soul cultivators possibly have on them?

The truly good things are all in the treasure vault of Sanling Town.

Without suspecting anything, the group immediately turned and rushed towards Sanling Town, afraid of being even a little too slow.

Only Du Xingcai, Lin Hao, and the cloaked cultivator remained.

Therefore, he looked at Du Xingcai and asked:

"Aren't you going? It'll be too late if you don't go soon."

Du Xingcai chuckled and said, "You little rascal, you think you can fool me?"

"If there really are good things in Sanling Town, wouldn't you go?"

"Given your personality, you'd probably run there right away. If you don't go, you definitely know the real location of that good stuff. I'm not stupid."

Yu Changsheng's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected Du Xingcai to be so clever this time.

He couldn't help but clap his hands, "Hehe, that's right, Miss Du. She is indeed extremely intelligent, far beyond my reach. She's truly remarkable."

Du Xingcai was also flattered by the praise, her chin held high, a smug look on her face.

Yu Changsheng looked at Lin Hao, knowing that this senior didn't care about these things at all.

So he approached the cloaked man, cupped his hands, and said:

"Thank you for your help, senior."

The cloaked man simply nodded slightly and then asked:

"You will stop here once you have conquered Sanling Town."

Yu Changsheng asked, "What does Senior mean?"

"What do you plan to do with those two families?"

Yu Changsheng also knew that this cloaked man had no intention of letting the two major families go.

It would be difficult for him to kill all the members of the two families on his own.

Yu Changsheng also said, "Senior has already helped me a lot, and I will naturally repay you."

"As long as you are willing, I am ready to lend a helping hand at any time."

The cloaked man said, "Alright, since that's the case, now come with me to find the Li family."

Yu Changsheng couldn't refuse either. With those Nascent Soul experts here, he wasn't afraid of anything.

So they summoned several cultivators from the Xie family and ordered them to keep an eye on Wang Haitang and the old man.

They escorted him into that cave.

The two have had their cultivation sealed, so there's no need to worry about anything going wrong. A few Purple Mansion cultivators are enough to guard them.

As for Du Xingcai and Lin Hao, along with the other cultivators, they all naturally followed the cloaked man to deal with the Li family cultivators.

In the valley.

Li Muling looked at the letter in his hand and fell silent for a moment.

According to the information he received from informants within the city.

Until Yu Changsheng had already captured Sanling Town.

To his surprise, Yu Changsheng acted so quickly.

It was much faster than he had anticipated.

Now, Sanling Town is dead, but he has yet to receive any news from the cloaked man.

This gave Li Muling a vague sense of unease.

Suddenly, a beam of light appeared in the distance.

Li Muling looked closely and saw Yu Changsheng flying over quickly.

"It's you!"

Li Muling narrowed his eyes slightly, a murderous intent lurking in his heart.

However, after a brief hesitation, Li Muling did not make a move immediately.

Instead, he asked, "How did you end up here?"

Yu Changsheng chuckled, "Hehe, greetings, Clan Chief Li. I wonder if Clan Chief Li has managed to ambush anyone?"

Li Muling sneered, "I don't think your method will work at all."

Yu Changsheng said helplessly, "Alas, Clan Chief Li, this was a last resort for me. The mysterious expert has gone into hiding."

"Besides key members of the Xie family, who else could print it out? Since even Xie Mengtian can't print it out, other methods are even less effective."

"If that's the case, why should Clan Chief Li still be so troubled by this matter?"

Li Muling asked, "Alright, I won't waste my breath on this matter. What brings you here? I heard you've already captured Sanling Town. What are your plans for dealing with Wang Haitang and his men?"

Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "Isn't that why I'm here to discuss this with Clan Chief Li?"

"Although Chief Li did not participate in the attack on Sanling Town this time, his absence indirectly made the Xuanyuan family hesitant to act, which was a great help to me."

"I would never dare to fail to repay your great kindness, senior. Therefore, I have come here specifically to discuss with you the matter of dividing up Sanling Town and the Xuanyuan family."

"Hmm, not bad, I guess I wasn't wrong about you."

Hearing Yu Changsheng's words, Li Muling nodded in satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, this kid actually kept his word and came to discuss dividing up Sanling Town.

However, Li Muling also knew that this kid probably wanted him to help deal with the Xuanyuan family.

Otherwise, how could they be so proactive?

"Now that you've already taken Sanling Town, why are you still going to kill the Xuanyuan family?"

"Just as the Xie family has a mysterious expert behind them, the Xuanyuan family may also have someone like that backing them up."

"Aren't you afraid that taking action against the Xuanyuan family will bring even bigger trouble?"

Yu Changsheng shook his head as well, "Of course I'm scared!"

"What can we do if it's scary? If we keep looking back and forth like this, we should have just retired to Yamada back then. Why bother with all this?"

"Clan Chief Li, a golden opportunity is right before us, how can we not seize it?"

Yu Changsheng reached out and slowly picked up a fallen leaf, holding it in his palm.

Seeing this, Li Muling finally smiled.

"Alright, I admit you did persuade me, but I'll be clear from the start: while I will help you deal with the Xuanyuan family, I can only help you bolster their strength."

"I will only lend a helping hand when the Xuanyuan family has been routed, how about that?"

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Changsheng nodded.

"With the help of Clan Chief Li and Elder Wu, our strength is enough to crush the Xuanyuan family. At that time, there will be no need for Clan Chief Li to take action."

"I will naturally take over the Xuanyuan family completely!"

"Once this is done, Clan Chief Li—no, City Lord Li—will become the City Lord of Sanling Town! At that time, City Lord Li only needs to publicly declare his support for Sanling Town!"

"Lord Li..."

Li Muling savored those three words, his heart burning with excitement.

"Third Elder, are you really willing to give me this position? How can I trust you?"

Yu Changsheng said, "City Lord Li also knows how fierce the struggle between the Third Elder and the Second Elder is now. Any force can play a decisive role at crucial moments."

"How could the Third Elder possibly be ungrateful to City Lord Li and push you to the Second Elder's side?"

Li Muling nodded slightly; that was indeed true.

Moreover, he didn't arrest Wang Haitang, so this matter didn't really concern him much. If anything, he just didn't offer any help.

However, he could also use the mysterious expert's constant threats as an excuse to shirk responsibility.

Therefore, Li Muling was not afraid that Yu Changsheng would go back on his word, because he believed that his power would be useful to the other party!

"Okay, when do you plan to make your move?"

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

Yu Changsheng immediately became serious. "Of course, the faster the better. The faster we act, the less time the Xuanyuan family will have to react."

"The lower the price we pay!"

"Only by quickly seizing the Xuanyuan family's power can we be completely worry-free!"

"Now, all my power is concentrated in Sanling Town, and it can be used at any time. I wonder what Mayor Li thinks?"

Li Muling nodded slightly, a hint of determination in his expression.

"In that case, let's not delay!"

"Wait, I have an idea."

Yu Changsheng suddenly interrupted him and said:

"Lord Li also took this opportunity to ask the Xuanyuan family for help and join forces to attack Sanling Town, thereby drawing out most of the Xuanyuan family's forces. Then we will set up a trap."

"Wouldn't that make it easier to deal with?"

Li Muling gave a wicked smile and couldn't help but curse at Yu Changsheng.

"You're quite the schemer, but this is indeed a good idea!"

"However, I hope that one day you won't use these methods on me, otherwise I'll show you how powerful I, Li Muling, really am."

Yu Changsheng cupped his hands and said, "This junior would naturally not dare, and besides, the Third Elder would not allow me to act recklessly. Please rest assured, City Lord Li!"

Li Muling nodded in relief, indicating that he would go back and proceed according to the plan, and that Yu Changsheng should also prepare an ambush outside the city.

After Yu Changsheng left, Li Muling watched his figure slowly disappear into the horizon.

Their expressions also became serious, and a member of the Li family beside them asked:

"Chief, are we really going to listen to him? His forces are too strong now, and we're at a disadvantage."

"If the Xuanyuan family falls, we will be completely without assistance."

Li Muling, however, didn't seem to care and said, "Do you think I wouldn't have thought of these things?"

"I doubt he would dare to plot against me, otherwise I could easily have led him to the Second Elder. Just as he himself said, at that point, would the Third Elder choose my family or a Purple Mansion cultivator?"

"Especially at this time when the Third Elder lacks important forces, a mere Purple Mansion cultivator is not worth mentioning. On the contrary, my Li family has four Nascent Soul cultivators."

"That's the more important thing for the Third Elder, and that kid knows it very well."

The Li family members standing nearby finally realized what was happening.

"Hahaha, as expected, the clan leader is wise and powerful. That kid is no match for the clan leader."

Li Muling snorted coldly, smacked the head of a member of the Li family standing to the side, and then said:

"Immediately spread the word to the Xuanyuan family that they intend to launch a joint attack on Sanling Town!"

"I want to go to the Xuanyuan family in person to discuss this matter!"

Soon, Li Muling received a reply from the Xuanyuan family.

Xuanyuan Hai was naturally even more anxious than him at this moment.

He had already received intelligence from Sanling Town, and the fact that Sanling Town had been breached was completely unexpected by Xuan Yuan Hai.

The Three Spirits Town has a very powerful defensive formation, so how could it have been breached so quickly?

Even if several Nascent Soul cultivators fought for a whole day and night, surely they wouldn't have failed to hold out for even a day?

At this moment, Xuan Yuanhai only wanted to curse Wang Haitang, saying he was even more stupid than a pig.

If he had known this would happen, he should have gone to provide support immediately, because Xuan Yuan Hai was well aware of the importance of Sanling Town.

If Sanling Town falls, he will be in danger.

However, the reason he hesitated to attack was partly because his base in Sanling Town was under attack while it was also being attacked.

This was also a backup plan that Yu Changsheng had arranged beforehand, to buy some time for the main attack direction of Sanling Town.

Xuanyuan Hai did not provide support because he was worried about being attacked. In addition, since the Li family was slow to act, how could he possibly be willing to take action?

He had planned to wait and see what happened, and then he would go after the Li family made their move.

But Xuan Yuanhai never expected that Wang Haitang would not even be able to hold out for a single day before Sanling Town fell.

Upon receiving Li Muling's message, they grasped at it like a lifeline, and naturally did so immediately.

When Li Muling arrived, Xuan Yuanhai immediately went forward to greet him.

Li Muling also looked serious. Before Xuan Yuanhai could speak, he took the initiative to question him, "Sanling Town was attacked, why didn't you provide support?"

Xuan Yuan Hai was taken aback by the question, then looked annoyed and said:

"I'm not going to provide support? You haven't provided support either, have you? What a joke! Do you expect me to go and provide support first while you sit here and reap the benefits?"

Li Muling had his reasons: "I need to surround Xie Mengtian to lure out that mysterious expert, so I can't act rashly. Otherwise, if I miss this precious opportunity, how will I ever have another chance to find that person?"

Xuan Yuanhai snorted coldly, "If that's the case, where is that person? Have you caught them?"

Li Muling said confidently, "Such a big mess suddenly happened in Sanling Town. If I didn't show myself, that person must have become suspicious and definitely wouldn't show up."

Xuan Yuan Hai was so angry at Li Mu Ling that he laughed.

"Alright, alright, so you say that? You neither caught anyone nor went to support Sanling Town. Now you're blaming me?"

Li Muling raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and said:

"You're awake. Let's not try to shirk responsibility anymore. Tell me, what do we do now?"

"Without the defensive array of Sanling Town, how can we possibly contend with Elder Wu's power?"

Xuan Yuan Hai was also troubled by this matter. With Sanling Town as his backyard, he was not afraid of Elder Wu taking action against him.

If we can't win, we'll take our men and hide in the city, then let go together.

Now that Sanling Town is gone, he has absolutely no one to rely on.

With the limited defenses of this outpost, there's no way to launch a direct attack.

"How would I know?"

Xuanyuan Hai was at a loss for what to do.

Li Muling seized the opportunity to say, "The most urgent task is to quickly retake Sanling Town."

"Take it back? Easier said than done. They've already captured Sanling Town. How are you going to take it back?"

Li Muling said, "Now is the time! If we miss this opportunity, we'll be waiting for Elder Wu's men to repair the defensive formation."

"That's when there's truly no chance left."

"Elder Wu's men have just emerged from a major battle and haven't fully recovered. Furthermore, the defensive array of Sanling Town hasn't been repaired yet, making this the perfect opportunity for our surprise attack!" (End of Chapter)
