Chapter 125 Start taking action
After seeing Butler Xiao off, Ye Xiaobai and the others began their next move.
We have now entered the Qingyun Sect. The next step is to inquire about the Core Formation stage cultivators who remain in the Qingyun Sect.
Ye Xiaobai and Luo Dalin stayed in the cave to refine pills, while Mu Beifeng and He Lei gathered information.
These past two days, the Qingyun Sect has already set off for the White Tiger Sect, hoping to arrive before the "Stellar River Surge".
Two days later, Mu Beifeng and his group had obtained the basic information.
As expected, only a handful of Core Formation stage experts, such as Song Yu and Liu Qingxuan, remained at the Qingyun Sect at this moment. The vast majority of other Core Formation stage cultivators had already departed for the front lines of the battle.
However, what is even more shocking is that it is said that Lin Pengfei, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, is still in seclusion, going all out to break through to the supreme Nascent Soul realm!
Undoubtedly, this is crucial information for Ye Xiaobai and the others, and they must pay close attention to it and deal with it cautiously.
After all, once Lin Pengfei successfully breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, his strength will surely experience a qualitative leap, and the entire Qingyun Sect will also greatly increase in strength as a result.
However, if anyone dares to harm the Qingyun Sect during this period, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Ye Xiaobai and his group's plan is unlikely to succeed.
Fortunately, Ye Xiaobai and the others received a telepathic message from Sect Master Han Chuanming that evening, instructing them to take action. Ye Xiaobai did not hesitate and felt that they should act immediately, otherwise things might change if they delayed.
Just as Ye Xiaobai and the others were getting ready, an uninvited guest disrupted their plans!
"Is Master Li here? Our young master needs to speak with you!" Butler Xiao said anxiously.
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately alarmed, wondering if their identities had been exposed.
Ye Xiaobai suppressed his surprise and said calmly, "Steward Xiao, you know I've been too busy with alchemy lately, so it's inconvenient for me to leave. Please have Young Master Xiao come here!"
"Alright, then I'll call our young master over!" Butler Xiao replied, and then left.
After Butler Xiao had walked away, Mu Beifeng asked in a low voice, "What should we do? Should we set off immediately, or wipe out the Xiao family first?"
"Let's destroy the Xiao family!" Luo Dalin said firmly.
“I also agree to destroy the Xiao family!” He Lei said.
“I don’t agree. I think it’s not wise to alert them now. I’ll be looking for an opportunity to meet Song Yu and the other Core Formation cultivators later. What should we do in their capacity?” Ye Xiaobai countered.
"Simply impersonate a Qingyun Sect disciple and go there, then say you have urgent intelligence and don't need to notify Elder Song?" Luo Dalin asked tentatively.
"In that case, which Qingyun Sect disciple should I impersonate to make people more believable?" Mu Beifeng asked, puzzled.
"Butler Xiao?" He Lei suggested.
“That’s definitely not going to work. After all, Steward Xiao is just a steward of the Xiao family. How could he possibly be in charge of informing a Core Formation cultivator about any news from the Qingyun Sect?” Ye Xiaobai directly rejected the suggestion.
"Could it be that Junior Brother Ye wants to impersonate this Young Master Xiao?" Mu Beifeng thought for a moment and then realized who it was.
“Exactly. This Young Master Xiao must be an important person in the Xiao family. It wouldn’t arouse suspicion if he obtained some rare information!” Ye Xiaobai said calmly.
"But what if Song Yu and other Core Formation stage elders see through my disguise as such an important person?" Mu Beifeng pressed again.
"Look what this is!" Ye Xiaobai took out a disguise pill from his storage bag and placed it in front of everyone.
"This disguise pill?" Luo Dalin was the first to recognize it.
"Exactly! With the Disguise Pill, I can transform into this Young Master Xiao. That way, Song Yu and the others definitely won't recognize me!" Ye Xiaobai said confidently.
"That's great!" everyone exclaimed happily.
A moment later, Steward Xiao led Young Master Xiao to the cave where Ye Xiaobai and the others were.
"Is Master Li busy? I've brought our Young Master Xiao!" Butler Xiao said, leading Young Master Xiao into the cave.
Before even seeing anyone, Ye Xiaobai could already smell a familiar scent; he had actually run into someone he knew.
It turns out that the young master Xiao that Butler Xiao was referring to was Xiao Fan, whom Ye Xiaobai had encountered in the secret realm before.
In the secret realm, Ye Xiaobai used the scent of Xiao Fan to kill several groups of Qingyun Sect cultivators. Each time, Xiao Fan managed to escape in advance. This time, however, he unexpectedly encountered him at the Xiao family.
"This is Master Li, whom I invited from outside!" Butler Xiao hurriedly introduced Ye Xiaobai and the others to Xiao Fan.
Upon seeing Ye Xiaobai, Xiao Fan immediately felt that he looked familiar and asked in confusion, "Master Li looks like an old friend of ours. Do you know a cultivator named Ye Xiaobai?"
At this time, Ye Xiaobai and his group were only slightly disguised, making them easily recognizable to those who knew them. Now that they were preparing to eliminate Xiao Fan, Ye Xiaobai and his group no longer needed to disguise themselves.
Ye Xiaobai immediately dropped his disguise and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you really have a bad memory! I didn't even recognize you!"
"Master Li, how could you..." Butler Xiao was stopped by Luo Dalin before he could finish speaking.
Xiao Fan stared wide-eyed at the person in front of him, secretly astonished.
When he saw Ye Xiaobai's true face, a wave of astonishment washed over him, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "You're actually Ye Xiaobai! How... how did you end up here? What is your purpose in coming to our Xiao family?"
His voice was filled with shock and confusion, as if he had met someone he had never expected.
Xiao Fan's gaze was fixed on Ye Xiaobai, trying to find some clues from his expression and behavior. However, Ye Xiaobai appeared unusually calm, as if he had expected Xiao Fan's reaction.
Ye Xiaobai did not answer Xiao Fan's question immediately.
He frowned slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, "I have my reasons for coming to the Xiao family, but they are not things you can understand. As for the specific reasons, I cannot tell you for now."
Hearing Ye Xiaobai's words, Xiao Fan was even more puzzled. He couldn't understand why this mysterious figure would suddenly barge into the Xiao family, and why he was being so secretive about it. An ominous premonition gradually enveloped his heart, making him feel uneasy.
Before he could think too much, Mu Beifeng had already taken control of Xiao Fan.
After dealing with the two, Ye Xiaobai first took a disguise pill and then transformed into the appearance of Butler Xiao.
"Everyone, how is it? How effective is this disguise pill?" Ye Xiaobai asked confidently.
"It's truly a perfect replica; even the rest of the Xiao family wouldn't be able to tell the difference!" Luo Dalin exclaimed in admiration.
"However, Junior Brother Ye, you disguised yourself as Steward Xiao? Shouldn't you have disguised yourself as Xiao Fan?" Mu Beifeng asked curiously.
"Isn't it necessary to first use Steward Xiao's identity to inform the Xiao family servants around the cave not to disturb our alchemy recently, so that we can focus on our work in peace!" Ye Xiaobai explained.
"Junior Brother Ye is indeed thoughtful! He has considered everything thoroughly!" He Lei praised.
"you flatter me!"
