Chapter 272 There is no other way but to outsmart them.
Upon seeing Zhong Lingxin arrive, An Yin immediately presented her with several jade slips.
Zhong Lingxin looked through them one by one and frowned.
This time, not only did many people from righteous sects come, but also quite a few from evil cultivation sects.
The righteous sects and the evil cultivators have formed two opposing factions, but the Beast Taming Sect and the Taixu Sect are neither entirely righteous nor entirely evil, and they are entangled with both sides, which has made the situation in Luofeng Town much more complicated.
An Yin pointed to a black jade slip and said, "We have received information that a female cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect has an ambiguous relationship with Xue Shuihan, the son of the Blood Fiend Sect's sect leader. The two sects are also exchanging glances, and their relationship is extremely complicated."
Zhong Lingxin read through each word carefully, then shook her head speechlessly. What a small world! The Nangong family and Nangong Xin'er are everywhere.
Having received a piece of ice flame from Zhong Lingxin and having met Pingping and An'an, An Yin and the others naturally knew about the old score between Nangong Xin'er and Zhong Lingxin in Icefield City.
This time, they want to settle this old score.
Their master provided them with such excellent flames, so they had to vent their anger for him.
An Yin pulled out Nangong Xin'er's information sheet: "Xin Xin (Zhong Lingxin asked them to call her that), the Nangong family has had no successors in recent years. The two outstanding ones were both crippled by the master, and now only Nangong Xin'er has emerged."
Last time, Master caused quite a stir at Iceflame Peak, producing several Iceflames for us. The Nangong family also benefited from this, obtaining one Iceflame. That Iceflame is currently in Nangong Xin'er's possession.
It is said that after Nangong Xin'er subdued the Ice Flame, she went into seclusion for a long time, which greatly improved her cultivation. She has now reached the Nascent Soul stage. Some time ago, when she went out to train, she met Xue Shuihan's gaze.
However, both of them were thousand-year-old foxes (Huanhuan glanced at her), or rather, thousand-year-old spirits. Although they were attracted to each other, they were also quite calculating towards one another. Because of their relationship, the Beast Taming Sect and the Blood Fiend Sect had more contact and no longer fought when they met, but they had not yet truly cooperated.
It is said that the two sects intend to cooperate during this trip to Luofeng Mountain Range.
The specific details have not yet been ascertained.
Zhong Lingxin nodded and smiled, "Be careful when you're gathering information. I have an idea. These two sects want to cooperate but lack trust. If we make good use of this, we might be able to gain some benefits. I reckon there are quite a few others who share my idea, so don't act rashly."
An Yin laughed: "Xin Xin, you've hit the nail on the head. The Tai Xu Sect has been acting all high and mighty lately. They and the Beast Taming Sect are both located in the western part of the Immortal Spirit Continent."
If the Beast Taming Sect becomes stronger, their strength will weaken.
Therefore, the Taixu Sect will not allow the Beast Taming Sect and the Blood Fiend Sect to cooperate smoothly.
Rumors are circulating that the Taixu Sect is flirting with the Black Fiend Sect.
Zhong Lingxin had paid little attention to the evil cultivators lately, but after hearing An Yin's words, she was slightly moved and said, "Bring me all the information on the evil cultivator sects, I want to take a closer look."
According to the data, the Black Fiend Sect has had a series of bad luck in recent years. First, it lost important combat power in the fight for the fragment of a spiritual treasure. Then it was severely suppressed by the Blood Fiend Sect and was on the verge of losing its position as the second-largest evil sect. In recent years, it has been targeted by the Black Cloud Sect and the Fierce Soul Sect, and its strength has been greatly damaged.
However, after reading the information on the evil cultivators, Zhong Lingxin was most interested in the Blood Shadow Sect, which ranked fifth.
Since Dragon Island closed, the Blood Shadow Sect has completely faded from people's sight.
Even the phoenix cries and red light deep within the Fallen Phoenix Mountains did not move the Blood Shadow Sect, and they did not send a single person.
I heard that the Blood Fiend Sect was extremely angry and sent people to the Blood Shadow Sect several times to urge them to send people to participate in the battle.
This is very interesting.
Zhong Lingxin did not believe that the Blood Shadow Sect could resist the temptation of divine beasts.
After reviewing the information on the heretical cultivators, Zhong Lingxin took out the information on the Beast Taming Sect and the Taixu Sect for a closer look.
The Beast Taming Sect has been developing well in recent years, and has acquired several more eighth-tier spirit beasts. Its disciples walk with an air of confidence.
The Taixu Sect, having lost a key combatant due to the death of Hei Ziming, suffered a significant loss of strength and thus tolerated the Beast Taming Sect in every way. Even when the Beast Taming Sect forcibly seized one of their cultivation cities, they turned a deaf ear and swallowed their anger.
Zhong Lingxin then picked up the information about the Nangong family of the Beast Taming Sect.
After retreating from Iceflame Peak, the three elders of the Nangong family went to the depths of the far north ice plains, where they formed contracts with two eighth-tier white bears, greatly increasing their strength and making them the de facto leaders of the Beast Taming Sect.
This time, they are determined to obtain the phoenix in the Luofeng Mountains.
It is said that the Nangong family brought five eighth-tier spirit beasts, and with their own three elders at the Tribulation Transcending stage, the Nangong family has the combat power of eight Tribulation Transcending stage members.
Zhong Lingxin compared her initial strength at the initial stage of the Fusion Realm with the strength of the several hall masters in the Dark Palace at the Mahayana Realm, and could only sigh.
There is no other way but to outsmart them.
Just as he was pondering, two disciples from the Dark Hall rushed in and reported to An Yin, "Hall Master, the Beast Taming Sect has sent more than three hundred people. They are chasing people away from the front street and want to occupy half of it. The people from the Purple Cloud Sect are arguing with them."
An Yin frowned slightly, then hunched over, wiped her face, transformed into the appearance of a middle-aged female cultivator, and slowly walked towards the front street.
After a while, An Yin returned with two cultivators from the Dark Moon Palace. As soon as she entered the door, she vomited a mouthful of blood.
Zhong Lingxin hurriedly fed An Yin a healing pill into her mouth, and a Mahayana cultivator from the Dark Moon Palace helped An Yin digest the pill.
After a long while, An Yin finally stood up, gritting her teeth and saying hatefully, "I swear I will not be a man if I do not kill Nangong Hengyong!"
It turns out that the person who led more than 300 Beast Taming Sect cultivators to reinforce Luofeng Town this time was the younger brother of the Nangong family head, named Nangong Hengyong.
He also brought with him more than a thousand spirit beasts from the Beast Taming Sect.
These spirit beasts, some flying in the sky and some running on the ground, take up more space than cultivators.
The Beast Taming Sect, wanting to show off its strength and bully others, found out that there were no five major sects stationed on this half of the front street, so it decided to seize it and drove out all the cultivators from the second and third-level minor sects.
While chasing them away, they also forcibly seized the resources of these minor sect cultivators.
The cultivators from the smaller sects naturally refused to accept this, and while resisting, they also sent messages to their superior sects.
An Yin and a few of his men mingled in the crowd to watch.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Hengyong suddenly attacked the crowd, waving his hand to release a group of spirit beasts that pounced on the onlookers.
An Yin could have dodged it, but the Dark Moon Palace cultivator standing next to her was directly killed by a spirit beast released by Nangong Hengyong.
Having no other choice, An Yin had to push aside her subordinates and take the blow from the spirit beast herself.
Nangong Hengyong was fierce and ruthless. He followed closely behind the spirit beast and delivered another blow to An Yin.
