Chapter 167 Lure the snake out of its hole
"You said there are traces of the Kunyuan Palace in the Baiyun Mountains?" Xie Yue asked incredulously.
"I heard it was found in a lake on a mountaintop, but since our core personnel have been concentrated here recently, I only heard about it from some casual player alliances."
"Any other news?"
"The people from the Qingmu Society have already gone there, and many independent alliances have also rushed over, but the people from the Qingmu Society are blocking the only way up the mountain and preventing those independent people from entering."
However, most of the people who went there saw the Kunyuan Palace floating in the lake. I've already inquired about this with several independent player alliances, and they all spoke with absolute certainty. Leader, I don't think this is a lie.
"How far away is that lake from us?"
"It's about a day's journey. I heard that the first small alliance of independent players discovered the Kunyuan Palace, but they didn't dare to get close to it. So they thought of joining forces with some other alliances of independent players to explore it together, but for some reason the Qingmu Society found out about it."
The next day, the core combatants of the independent alliance who participated in the gathering were all eliminated by the Aoki Society, but the news eventually leaked out.
"Chief, can you imagine? The Red Jade Society was the last to know about what's been making headlines outside. It shows how much those independent alliances that rely on us look down on us."
"Perhaps the members of the Green Wood Society have already entered the Kunyuan Palace. What use will it be if we emerge from seclusion at the Condensation Realm? Are we going to fight with other alliances for the Kunyuan Palace?" someone said dejectedly inside the tent.
Sensing the low spirits of the crowd, Xie Yue confidently comforted them, "No, the Five Mountains Society and the Flame Society spent so much effort but still couldn't break through the demonic beasts defending the Kunyuan Palace. The Green Wood Society doesn't have that kind of ability yet. Let's just consider them as scouting ahead for us!"
"Master, something terrible has happened!" A young man in a purple robe rushed anxiously into the tent from outside.
"Yueze, don't spread alarmist rumors! What news is there outside?" Xie Yue's tone carried a hint of displeasure.
Yue Ze said breathlessly, "The Qingmu Society has discovered the fourth Kunyuan Palace and has also secured the only way up the mountain."
The man I sent has returned. He said it's true; the area at the foot of the mountain is now densely packed with people, but none dare cross the Green Wood Society's lines, leaving them all trapped.
A flash of anger crossed Xie Yuemei's eyes. "I already knew about this, but why did you only report it now!"
"Chief, I wasn't afraid this was a smokescreen by the Aoki Society. I just wanted us to go out and find them, so I thought I'd send someone to investigate before reporting back," Yue Ze explained somewhat guiltily.
"Damn it! I'll settle this score with you later. Any other news?" Xie Yue asked coldly.
"Yes, there is something extremely urgent! The Qingmu Society has been chiseling at the mountain, trying to drain the water from the summit. The demonic beasts around the Kunyuan Palace are all in that lake. If they drain the water, it will be too late."
"Chief, we can't back down any longer! Just give the order and I'll lead all those independent alliance members to charge forward. No matter how strong the Green Wood Society is, they'll only be crushed." Yue Ze said anxiously.
"What did you say?!" Xie Yue suddenly stood up, her alluring gaze fixed on Yue Ze.
Upon hearing this, the others in the tent also became restless and looked anxiously at Xie Yue, who had suddenly stood up.
"No, we absolutely cannot let those lone wolves in, otherwise we will lose control of the situation. Since the Green Wood Society members are all on that mountain, we can take the initiative and wipe them out in one fell swoop. Moreover, they have made such a great effort, they will not give up that Kunyuan Palace so easily, they will definitely fight us to the death."
"Chief, this is a golden opportunity! An opportunity to completely eliminate the Aoki Society. And a day has already passed. If we hesitate any longer, if the Aoki Society really drains the lake as Yueze said, it will be too late."
Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Xie Yue's mind was in turmoil. On one hand, she felt that something was wrong, but on the other hand, if the Kunyuan Palace was real, then if she didn't make a move now, she would be truly doomed.
Moreover, seeing the anxious looks in everyone's eyes inside the tent, she knew she had no other choice. The Kunyuan Palace was related to the cultivation future of everyone present, and no one wanted to give it up easily.
"Pass on my order: the Night Group will remain at their post to guard the secluded training area, while the Day Group, along with everyone present, will accompany me to the White Cloud Mountains."
"Qiu Ling, you stay and lead the Night Group. If necessary, you can abandon those Qi Condensation Realm cultivators. You and those Sword Selection Seeds are the true core of our Red Jade Society," Xie Yue earnestly instructed a girl in yellow beside her.
"Your subordinate will never fail the trust placed in you by the leader!" the girl in yellow solemnly promised.
Meanwhile, Wentian and his three companions outside the Red Jade Society's base were closely monitoring the Red Jade Society's movements.
"Hongyu can move!" Yuan Wuwei exclaimed excitedly.
"According to Zuo Chen's prediction, Xie Yue will only send half of the core members, and will definitely take the people from the day group with her. The time when the day and night groups take turns is when the defense of the Red Jade Society's base is most vulnerable."
"Besides, without our cover, Zuo Chen will definitely be exposed. The news that the Kunyuan Palace is fake is probably already on its way back. Xie Yue will be back soon, so we must be quick." Cen Chong instructed solemnly.
"This is so exciting! This is the life I want!" Xiao Ruohuang stared intently at the ensuing commotion at the outpost ahead.
"You don't even know how much effort and energy we put into tricking half of them out, how many Qi-Nourishing Pills we used up. So this time, we can only succeed, failure is not an option!" Yuan Wuwei's heart was also filled with excitement.
"Our target this time is those who are breaking through to the Qi Condensation Realm. They are currently very weak, and even the slightest stimulation can cause them to lose all their progress. So we need to create a big commotion."
Even with Li Xiaoyi's indifference, he couldn't help but feel a little excited at this crucial moment, after all, they had been preparing for this day for nearly four days.
"Xie Yue has brought her men out. We'll move out as soon as they're out of sight! Wuwei and I will go in first to try and distract the people left behind by the Hongyu Society."
"Ruohuang and Xiaoyi, you two take this opportunity to sneak into their secluded training location. Once you get there, Ruohuang, you set them on fire and use the smoke and flames to force them out. Xiaoyi, you stay close to Ruohuang and ensure her safety," Cen Chong commanded in a deep voice.
"Understood!" the three replied in unison.
