Chapter 489 Death Swamp
"You're quite nosy; you should worry more about yourself."
Xiao Rong lost interest in investigating further and left the medicinal field with Li Lan.
Before leaving, she made sure to apply another layer of seal, showing extra care.
Before leaving, Yue Nu told Li Lan about her conversation with Luo Ye earlier that day.
Upon hearing this news, Li Lan was immediately surprised.
After careful consideration, it seems that Luo Ye is only after his own interests that he has set his sights on the Boundless Realm.
As for other news about the Boundless Realm, he probably doesn't know yet.
However, Li Lan thought that he could use Yue Nu's mention of Luo Ye's relationship with the Tenth Elder to find out the whereabouts of Yi Jun's bone.
Therefore, Li Lan instructed Yue Nu to stay in the Star Devouring Sect for the time being and not to return to Star Gazing Mountain.
He used this time to cultivate the Ghost Flower while familiarizing himself with the rules of this world.
It was noon a little over ten days later.
After finishing his task, Luo Ye quietly went to Yue Nu's room alone once again.
"Moon Slave, I have found out where that small world is hidden. It is in the alchemy room behind the alchemy room."
Upon hearing this, Yue Nu's eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ye possessed such means that he was able to find out the whereabouts of the Boundless Realm.
While surprised, a hint of excitement also appeared in Yue Nu's eyes.
If we tell Lord Li Lan about this, wouldn't they be able to obtain that bone very quickly?
"Cough cough!"
At this moment, Luo Ye's cold snort pulled Yue Nu back to reality.
"Moon Slave, you don't need to be so excited."
"Right now, I've only found out the location of that small world. There's still a troublesome matter we need to solve."
"what's up?"
Yuenu asked, puzzled.
According to what Luo Ye told her, wasn't all she had to do was enter the small world and retrieve the elixir for him?
The next moment, seeing Luo Ye's gloomy and terrifying face, Yue Nu instantly understood his meaning.
"Lord Luo Ye, do you intend to kill Gu Tingyi and permanently dominate the Wuheng World?"
"But with our strength, we probably can't shake Gu Tingyi's strength. His cultivation is many realms higher than ours."
Luo Ye waved his hand, his face full of confidence.
"It doesn't matter, what good is strength?"
"With your help this time, we only need to wait until Gu Tingyi is at the crucial moment of refining pills to make our move, and then we don't care what realm he is."
"If he fails to refine the pills, he will definitely suffer a severe loss of vitality."
"Plus, I'll be in the open while you're in the shadows, so we're not afraid of failing to take down that Gu Tingyi."
Luo Ye explained the plan in great detail, as if everything was already prepared.
Little did he know that the woman in front of him, Yue Nu, was not someone he could bribe.
"Yes, sir. I will follow your orders."
Yue Nu respectfully clasped her hands in greeting, and then said:
"I will first go into the other world to scout out the opportunity, and I will report to you immediately as soon as I have any news."
Luo Ye nodded in satisfaction.
"Good job, you did very well."
"Go ahead. Once it's done, I will definitely keep my promise and have my uncle secure you a formal discipleship."
Yue Nu left her residence and flew towards Wangxing Mountain.
Once no one was watching, she returned to the Star Devouring Sect from another direction and flew towards Li Lan's residence.
"Oh, is that so?"
Upon returning to his residence, Li Lan immediately met with Yue Nu and learned about Luo Ye's plan.
"My lord, what should I do?"
Li Lan paced back and forth in the main hall of the manor, pondering the matter carefully.
Luo Ye's desire to seize control of the Boundless Realm was simply to control the Star Devouring Sect's pill delivery channels.
Once he takes control, it will only be a matter of time before he is promoted to deacon or even elder.
This is an immense benefit for any disciple of the Star Devouring Sect, and it is incredibly tempting.
Only someone like Luo Ye, with the backing of an elder, would dare to act recklessly against a deacon.
Although he already knew the exact location of the bone, there was still a troublesome matter he needed to deal with.
"Moon Slave, do you know exactly when that follower of the Great Black Buddha Mother left?"
If that believer were here, Li Lan's actions would become constrained.
It's not that he can't confront it head-on; if he does, it will not only attract the siege of the entire Star Devouring Sect, but may also directly alarm the Great Black Buddha Mother.
This is what truly makes him somewhat wary.
"My lord, you revealed the Great Black Mark that day. After that believer sensed it, he stayed in the Star Devouring Sect and showed no intention of leaving."
"It seems he won't leave until he finds you."
For the past few days, the followers of the Great Black Buddha Mother have been searching for Li Lan's whereabouts within the Star Devouring Sect.
If he has no intention of leaving, Li Lan will definitely be noticed by him soon after the effects of the Xuan Guan Fruit wear off.
Putting aside the fact that Xiao Rong's entire medicinal field would be seized by the Star Devouring Sect, after observing for some time, the Star Devouring Sect's other resources are not insignificant either.
If they leave without acquiring these resources, wouldn't that be giving the Star Devouring Sect an easy advantage? More importantly, Yi Jun's bones are still in the hands of the Star Devouring Sect, and the Boundless Realm will still be in danger.
"Yuenü, do you think Luo Ye will keep his appointment in time?"
Li Lan already had a plan in mind.
It can perfectly resolve Luo Ye's problem and also drive away the followers of that Great Black Buddha Mother.
But all of this is based on the premise that Luo Ye will obediently follow the plan and that no one else will interfere.
Yuenu immediately said:
"My lord, from my observation, Luo Ye has been blinded by the interests of the Other Shore Realm. If given a chance, he will not hesitate to fight for control of it."
Li Lan finally nodded in satisfaction, his gaze turning icy.
Since you, Luo Ye, want it, then I'll give it to you.
Not only will the other side be given to you, but you will also receive some extra gifts.
Then we'll see if you can catch it!
"Yuenü, in three days, lure Luo Ye to the alchemy room!"
"Yes!"
After Yue Nu left, Li Lan returned to the palace where the Seventh Elder was located.
"Xiao Rong, I need your help."
Upon hearing Li Lan's request, Xiao Rong's beautiful eyes widened in shock, and she exclaimed:
"Are you going to make a move?"
Li Lan shook his head and said calmly:
"It was just a rehearsal; I haven't determined the exact location of that bone yet."
"In order to determine the location of that bone, I need you to help me confirm how many people are on duty on the entire mountain where the alchemy room is located."
"If you can complete this task, obtaining Yi Jun's bone in the future will not be a problem."
Li Lan did not tell Xiao Rong the exact location of the bone directly, because he was worried that Xiao Rong would make a mistake in her haste.
Therefore, he would not let Xiao Rong know his plan until Li Lan personally obtained that bone.
After hearing this, Xiao Rong slowly nodded.
"Okay, I will find out all the guards on that mountain as soon as possible, so don't worry."
Li Lan said no more and took a step out, leaving the place.
After Li Lan left, Xiao Rong removed her mask again, revealing the long scar on her face.
She gently stroked the scar, and two lines of tears involuntarily fell down her cheeks.
"My husband, don't worry, I will do everything I can to bring you back to life."
Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Star Devouring Sect.
"Sir, there's still no trace of that person. I think you might be mistaken?"
Mo Chen looked at the believer in the main seat with eyes full of respect.
These past few days, this believer has been investigating the matter of the Great Black Mark.
To this end, he investigated almost all the disciples in the sect, except for those who were doing odd jobs.
But those menial disciples were weak and knew very little, so how could they possibly have the strength to kill the followers of the Great Black Buddha Mother?
If he didn't find the disciple with the big black mark, Mo Chen would naturally be extremely happy.
But this believer did not believe it and insisted that the person was inside the Star Devouring Sect.
"Mo Chen, if I say it exists, it definitely exists. I will never be wrong."
"That person must have used some secret technique, or perhaps used some mysterious power to hide it."
"If I'm not mistaken, that big black mark will reappear in a few days."
"Only a deity of the same level can keep the mark of the Great Black Buddha Mother hidden indefinitely; ordinary people can only suppress it for a few days at most."
Faced with the believer's explanation, Mo Chen had no choice but to believe him.
Three days later, at midnight.
On a dark and windy night, it is the perfect time for ghosts and spirits to cause trouble.
Outside the alchemy room, a figure was hiding on a mountain peak a thousand miles away.
Li Lan gazed at the mountain peak a thousand miles away, the place where the alchemy room was located.
According to the plan he instructed Yue Nu, tonight was the time for Luo Ye to make his move.
Yesterday, Xiao Rong had already told Li Lan about the deployment within this area of ten thousand miles.
Li Lan was slightly surprised to learn of the Star Devouring Sect's deployment of forces here.
The defenses here are so tight that even within Mo Chen's domain, there is no such powerful defensive force.
Among them, there are no fewer than ten cultivators at the Divine Envoy Realm, not to mention the divine disciples and divine servants.
It seems that the Star Devouring Sect attaches great importance to the protection of its sect's elixirs.
Only a cultivator of Li Lan's strength could sneak in here silently; an ordinary cultivator at the Divine Envoy level would have been discovered long ago.
As for Luo Ye's desire to get here, it was simply a matter of using his relationship with the Tenth Elder.
However, the Tenth Elder was busy with his work all day, and Luo Ye had not fully informed him about this operation, so he would not be coming along.
Another hour passed, and Li Lan sensed that two faint auras had finally appeared in the alchemy room.
"They've arrived as expected."
As expected, these two must be Yue Nu and Luo Ye.
After pacing back and forth outside the alchemy room for a while, the two finally headed towards the pill-making room.
"Who dares to trespass into the alchemy room?!"
Just as Luo Ye and Yue Nu arrived at the alchemy room, a deacon at the Divine Envoy Realm coldly rebuked them.
This person was none other than Feng Buyu, the Star Devouring Sect steward who had supported Luo Ye and driven Li Lan to the herb field that day.
"Hello, Steward Feng, I am Luo Ye."
Upon seeing who it was, Feng Buyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, it's Brother Luo Ye. What are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of resting?"
Luo Ye lowered his head and smiled:
"Hehe, my uncle, the Tenth Elder, is currently at a crucial moment in his cultivation and cannot be distracted."
