Chapter 506: Change
Su Jingzhen could have easily used his divine sense to scan the entire area in this strange land.
However, there were no enemies here.
Doing so directly would be a bit unseemly, prying into other people’s secrets.
Soon after passing through the mist, Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai arrived at the Bai Family’s territory.
Like the Dan Hall, the Bai family had also changed their location.
They had carved out hundreds of caves on the massive stone wall.
Each cave was guarded by a simple barrier.
Just like alchemy, cultivation was a private matter.
When cultivating, each cultivator did not want to be disturbed by others.
Even at this moment, on the open space belonging to the Bai Family, only a tall and slender figure stood proudly.Bai Susu’s expression remained calm, even colder than usual.
An icy beauty, as expected.
But when she saw Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai approaching, a flicker of emotion appeared in her eyes.
“I’ve been waiting for you two for a long time.
I knew that you would come today.”
As she said this, Bai Susu finally offered Su Jingzhen a faint smile.
This took the two of them by surprise.
However, Su Jingzhen didn’t respond to her right away.
His gaze fell on the caves on the stone wall.
He smiled and said, “It seems that the Bai family has adapted well here.
And this time, I didn’t see any members of the Bai family in the Dantai Ruins.
It seems that the Bai family has focused all their attention here.”
Su Jingzhen’s last sentence was a deliberate attempt to steer the conversation towards the Dantai Ruins.
After all, the matter they were going to discuss with the Bai family today was largely based on the events at the Dantang Ruins.
Luo Yuebai stood silently beside him, leaving everything to Su Jingzhen.
Bai Susu smiled again: “The Bai Family is not a group of alchemists, so we are not particularly interested in the ruins of an alchemist.
Besides, the Bai family also knows their limits. Some things are better taken in moderation.
If we are too greedy, we might cause unnecessary disasters.”
After a pause, she continued without waiting for Su Jingzhen’s answer: “But regarding the events in the Dan Holy City, the Bai family has also heard some news.
First, congratulations to the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect for taking the lead in the ruins.
And now that you two have come together, you must want to see the Bai Family’s attitude, right?”
Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai exchanged glances.
Their expressions were filled with smiles. Talking to such an intelligent person was effortless.
Moreover, judging from Bai Susu’s composure, the outcome of this meeting should be as they had expected and hoped.
“Since the day I started working with the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect, I have never left Linjiang City.
As the daughter of the head of the Bai family, and even our Bai Family’s Soul Formation elder have sworn before you, what is there to worry about?”
Bai Susu’s words hung in the air, leaving Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai speechless.
However, Bai Susu’s next words sent a shock wave through them.
“The Bai family has also received first-hand news from the Dan Holy City, and looking at the current situation in Qingzhou and surrounding regions like Cangzhou and Huangzhou, it’s not hard to guess what kind of pressure the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect will face next.
Perhaps they will become enemies of the world!
But the Bai family will not be one of those enemies.
In fact, the Bai family will be the most steadfast ally of the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect, standing by your side.
If my guess is correct, within a day, all of the Bai Family’s Nascent Soul and Soul Formation level cultivators will arrive in Linjiang City.
They will form a defensive alliance with the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect!”
Her words fell, and the space around them seemed to become silent.
Luo Yuebai and Su Jingzhen exchanged glances again, their brows furrowed.
No matter what happened, the Linjiang branch would be besieged by top forces from several states.
This was a major shift in the power dynamics of those states.
It would be unthinkable for anyone with a normal mind to choose the Linjiang Branch of the Evil Moon Sect.
Earlier, when Luo Yuebai had inquired about this, Su Jingzhen had thought of the only possible solution: to use extreme force to deter their enemies.
But now that the Bai Family had formed this defensive alliance with the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect, Su Jingzhen found it hard to believe.
“Even if the Bai Family knows everything about the Dan Holy City, Miss Bai and all the high-ranking members of the Bai Family are still worlds apart.
Even if the high-ranking members of the Bai family have made a decision, it hasn’t reached Linjiang City yet, has it?
How can Miss Bai be so sure?”
In Su Jingzhen’s opinion, even if the Bai family was interested in this strange place, it would be more advantageous for them to choose to fight against the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect.
After all, Bai Ying, a Soul Formation level cultivator from the Bai Family, had sensed something unusual in the canyon as soon as she arrived.
With the resources of the Bai family, it was possible, even likely, that they could break through the outer barrier and claim the strange land for themselves.
At the very least, someone in the Bai Family would have this thought.
However, in response to Su Jingzhen’s question, Bai Susu calmly said, “When we decided to cooperate with the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect and realized the importance of this unique place, the Bai Family had already made this decision.
“Of course, more importantly, the Bai family values and believes in Master Su and Senior Shen Yifeng, the Blood Hand Asura.”
Bai Susu’s tone was filled with sincerity as she spoke.
Throughout history, there have been many instances where people have chosen sides based solely on one person.
However, if Bai Susu’s words were true, and the high-ranking members of the Bai family all arrived in Linjiang City within one day and directly decided to form a defensive alliance with the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect, then the boldness of the Bai family would be truly extraordinary.
Su Jingzhen nodded in agreement, “In that case, let’s see the results within a day. If things are not as Miss Bai said, then the cooperation between the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect and the Bai Family might have to be temporarily suspended. At least until this special period is over.”
Su Jingzhen naturally had confidence in the Linjiang branch for the upcoming events.
However, as mentioned before, the hidden dangers still needed to be eliminated.
If they couldn’t achieve the closest possible cooperation, then they would have to temporarily ask the Bai Family disciples to leave this unique place.
They were confident, but that didn’t mean they were reckless.
Bai Susu confidently said, “It all depends on Master Su. If you don’t feel comfortable, Master Su can temporarily revoke Susu’s permission to enter and leave this place.”
Su Jingzhen looked at her for a few seconds, “That’s not necessary.
Within the sphere of influence of the Linjiang Branch of the Evil Moon Sect, if I want to find Miss Bai, it should be easy regardless of whether you have the authority or not. “
This was Su Jingzhen’s own confidence.
Without further communication with Bai Susu, Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai left the unique place.
Their visit this time was not only to check the progress of the Dan Hall, but also to inform Bai Susu about this matter.
Now that they knew the attitude of the Bai family, they had some expectations.
Upon returning to the canyon, Luo Yuebai once again called out her folding fan.
She looked at Su Jingzhen, “Shall we visit the other families now?”
As the sect master of the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect, she had developed a subtle feeling in the past few days to follow Su Jingzhen’s lead.
Su Jingzhen nodded. “The Bai family’s attitude has surprised us.
Now let’s see what people like Lingxiu Pavilion and Spirit Sound Valley will do.
At this special time, we, the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect, cannot allow forces with ambiguous attitudes to sleep by our side.
If they cannot form a defensive alliance with us, then they must temporarily withdraw their branches.”
These forces had shown a good understanding with Su Jingzhen during the Alchemist Convention in Yunmeng City.
And the reason most of them were willing to cooperate with the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect was largely due to Su Jingzhen.
However, the cultivation world was still the cultivation world, with too many variables.
Cultivators ultimately put their own interests first.
The fact that they had obtained something in the Dantai Ruins that could tempt most cultivators only added to the complexity.
In short, before the Linjiang branch was completely surrounded by enemies, the stance of all the forces within Linjiang City had to be unified.
“Let’s visit them one by one. Fortunately, we still have plenty of time.”
Luo Yuebai nodded, and then soared directly into the air on her fan, heading straight for Linjiang City.
This time, Luo Yuebai’s flying speed was not intentionally slowed down.
However, halfway through their journey, Su Jingzhen’s expression suddenly changed.
Out of nowhere, a massive black hole appeared in front of them.
The change was too sudden.
Neither of them had time to react before they were swallowed by the black hole.
“Be careful!”
As their vision plunged into darkness, Su Jingzhen was startled.
He shouted a warning and grabbed Luo Yuebai’s arm, fearing that they might be separated by this unexpected turn of events.
With Luo Yuebai’s current cultivation level, any Nascent Soul cultivator could easily defeat her.
“Suzhen!”
At the same time, he immediately sent a voice transmission to Bai Susu.
He didn’t say anything, but Bai Susu, who was at his waist, erupted with a powerful yet gentle energy.
A shield of white light formed around them.
Su Jingzhen held onto Luo Yuebai tightly.
After a dizzying spin, they appeared in a strange space.
It looked like a cave with only faint light.
Su Jingzhen’s expression was serious, but with Bai Susu at his waist, he felt no fear.
He expanded his divine consciousness, but he couldn’t detect any enemies.
Luo Yuebai, on the other hand, was calmer than Su Jingzhen had expected.
She was still holding her miniature folding fan, her eyes were sharp, and a hint of murderous aura seemed to emanate from her body.
She stared intently at the dark void in front of them.
“Six Heavenly Generals, since you dare to attack our sect directly, why are you hiding?”
