Chapter 852 Inquiry and Agreement (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)
Since the only Jindan early stage cultivator of the Yuqin Sect had encountered a joint attack by eight third-level middle and lower-grade birds, and the attacking birds did not belong to the same group.
According to common sense, it is impossible for them to join forces to fight the enemy, which also means that there must be a mastermind behind them. As for the purpose of the mastermind, it is not clear at present.
"As long as it exists and has taken action, it will definitely leave traces. Since this existence is so cautious and takes this roundabout state, it means that his cultivation is also in the Jindan stage. Otherwise, he can just take action to wipe out the Yuqin Sect. Why bother with so much effort?"
It didn't take long for Sun Mingsheng, who had calmed down, to get some plausible conclusions through some information in the jade slip. Whether these inferences are correct in the end still needs to be verified one by one.
In fact, the most difficult thing for Sun Mingsheng about the Yuqin Sect is not the enemy hidden in the dark, but how to find its traces.
Three days passed in a flash, and Tian Licong also came to visit on time.
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Sun? Are you willing to help the Yuqin Sect solve the current difficulties?"
Tian Licong seemed to be asking, but his words were quite firm, as if he was completely certain.
"Although the matter of the Yuqin Sect is difficult, I am not afraid. I think with Fellow Daoist Tian's wisdom, he is also clear that the most troublesome thing is to find the mastermind behind the scenes, and it will take a lot of time and energy."
"I am willing to hunt him, but I need the cultivators of the Yuqin Sect to personally lead him out or at least lead out the other party's means, otherwise I will never be able to find his trace."
Sun Mingsheng also directly put forward his own request. Regardless of whether the mastermind can be hunted down in the end, the Yuqin Sect needs to help.
"Of course, but the Supreme Elder of the Yuqin Sect is seriously injured and cannot take the risk personally. At most, he can only exclude the late-stage foundation-building cultivators in the sect, and Fellow Daoist Sun must ensure their safety. After all, for the Yuqin Sect, the late-stage foundation-building cultivators are the real pillars of the sect, and they cannot continue to lose them."
All kinds of transactions have always involved a bargaining process, and this time is no exception. Sun Mingsheng and Tian Licong, who represents the Yuqin Sect, put forward various conditions, and the two compromised with each other, and finally reached a state acceptable to both parties.
If the final bottom line between the two parties is not at the same level, this transaction will naturally fail.
"Fellow Daoist Tian, you are joking. How can we guarantee the safety of a late-stage foundation-building cultivator when we are fighting among late-stage Jindan cultivators? Besides, he is acting as bait. I can provide two third-level inferior spirit insects as backup means, but the others are powerless."
After a conversation, Sun Mingsheng also made concessions and prepared to send two third-level inferior black-striped ants as defense for the bait arranged by the Yuqin Sect.
The strength of the black-striped ants is not outstanding among the same level, but it is more than enough to buy time. He has absolute confidence in this.
"Deal, after seven days, Daoist, you only need to appear at the location marked on the map. I think you will definitely gain something. Tian first congratulates Daoist Sun on his success."
Successfully assisting both parties to reach a deal, Tian Licong is naturally full of joy, and received a valuable reward from it.
"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Tian, I hope it will not be in vain. This fishing method can only be used once. If we can't get some useful information, it will be impossible to continue to find effective information about the real mastermind in the future."
Sun Mingsheng had some concerns in his words, but at this moment, his heart was quite firm and he didn't hesitate at all.
According to the current situation, the mastermind targeting the Yuqin Sect must have a plan. The only Jindan-stage cultivator in the Yuqin Sect was seriously injured and all the third-level birds in the sect were killed or injured. Once an important late-stage foundation-building cultivator appeared, the mastermind hidden in the dark would definitely make a move again.
And now the Yuqin Sect has basically reached the last moment. There is no Jindan-stage cultivator sitting inside and no strong support outside. There is no good plan to break the situation in a short time. The mastermind probably wouldn't guess that the Yuqin Sect would hire a Jindan-level 9 cultivator like Sun Mingsheng to attack at all costs.
As long as the news is not leaked in advance, this operation can at least get the exact information of the mastermind behind the scenes, which is also the only way for Sun Mingsheng to obtain the inherited skills in a short time.
Therefore, whether it is for the Yuqin Sect that has been forced to the edge of the cliff or Sun Mingsheng, the mastermind behind the scenes must be hunted down without hesitation.
Before leaving, Tian Licong also carried two third-level low-grade black-striped ants that Sun Mingsheng sealed with special auras, which were specially used to provide defense and buffer time for the Yuqin Sect's late foundation-building cultivators.
The reason why the two parties in this transaction never really contacted each other was to minimize the possibility of information leakage and wait for the opportunity to kill.
On the fifth day after Tian Licong left, Sun Mingsheng took the lead and turned into a stream of light and sneaked away according to the location marked on the map.
This time he left carefully, restrained his own breath, and did not alarm any cultivators, which was completely different from the fanfare when he came.
Although the two parties agreed to meet seven days later, everything is prepared for the future, and arriving here in advance may also bring some unexpected gains.
"The black soil in the distant mountains, the outer surface of the mountain is composed of fertile black soil, and the interior is indestructible raw stone. This situation is not common. I hope it can bring me good luck."
The location marked on the map is not far away. An hour later, Sun Mingsheng's figure has appeared here, ready to prepare in advance.
"Black-striped ants, go"
With the improvement of cultivation strength and the strong strength of the enemy, the black-striped ant colony has not appeared in the battle for a long time.
The goal this time was to confirm the information about the mastermind behind the Yuqin Sect. Black-striped ants, which were not very noticeable, could successfully complete the task.
Under the control of the queen ant, black-striped ants scattered all over the sky, and in groups of three or five, they monitored the area within a hundred miles of the distant black soil mountains. Whenever there was a strange aura of cultivators, Sun Mingsheng could get the information at the first time.
In order to prevent alerting the enemy, the black-striped ants sent out this time were mainly first-level, mixed with a small number of second-level spirit insects. This low-level spirit insect was not too rare within the scope of the Tang Dynasty, and it was highly unlikely to attract the attention of the other party. As the saying goes, everything is ready, only the east wind is missing, which is Sun Mingsheng at this moment.
