Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Wanting My Help – Bring the Verdant Vine Eight-Treasure Book and Reading Method to Qingxuan Sect

Shen Mo landed lightly on the ground.

Elders, deacons, disciples—anyone who saw him bowed their heads, eyes filled with respect, addressing him as the Young Sect Master.

Especially those Core Formation Elders who had fought alongside him. Compared to the deacons and disciples, they admired him even more.

Only those who had fought shoulder-to-shoulder with Shen Mo truly understood his strength and unparalleled power.

After taking a few steps, Shen Mo suddenly noticed a group of disciples gathered, whispering among themselves.

"…Wasn't that the Beast Supreme from the Verdant Vine Sect, Mo Yuheng, who just came in? And accompanying him was Liu Menghu, the head of the Storm Hall."

"Why have they suddenly come here?"

"You don't know? The Divine Sword Sect is fiercely attacking the Verdant Vine Sect, and they're on the brink of collapse!"

"So that's it. Who would have thought that the day would come when even the Verdant Vine Sect would seek help from us at the Qingxuan Sect? Haha."

"Of course! Now, wherever I go, as long as I mention I'm a disciple of Qingxuan Sect, no one dares show me disrespect. That's the power of our sect's name!"

Shen Mo pondered silently. He had already known that when the Divine Sword Sect launched their attack on the Verdant Vine Sect, the Storm Sect merged with them and became Storm Hall.

Naturally, he was aware of this.

He casually asked, "Mo Yuheng and Liu Menghu, they went to see the Sect Master?"

The disciples were startled, quickly bowing and saluting.

A brave female disciple stepped forward, responding, "Young Sect Master, they went straight to see the Sect Master upon arriving and haven't come out yet."

Shen Mo nodded slightly. With a light step, he soared into the air and headed directly to the Sect Master's courtyard on the mountain peak.

Ever since the destruction of the Rising Sun Sect, the situation of the Verdant Vine Sect could only be described as tragic.

Traitors within the sect had emerged multiple times, working in concert with external forces, wiping out several important strongholds where the Verdant Vine Sect raised demon beasts.

The Verdant Vine Sect's greatest reliance was those fierce and tyrannical demon beasts.

Without them, the combat power of their cultivators had dropped by at least half.

Just a few days ago, even one of their elders had perished in battle!

Now, the Verdant Vine Sect had less than thirty percent of its fighting force remaining.

They were truly at a critical moment of life and death.

Soon, Shen Mo arrived at the Sect Master's courtyard. Before getting close, he heard Murong Yue's unhurried voice.

"You two, I have already handed over most of the sect's affairs to Mo'er. There's no point in discussing this with me. You should go to Mo'er."

Liu Menghu urgently replied, "Sect Master Murong, the Verdant Vine Sect is on the verge of destruction! If we allow the Divine Sword Sect to annex both the Rising Sun Sect and the Verdant Vine Sect, the next target will be Qingxuan Sect!"

"For the sake of Qingxuan Sect's own interests, you should help us!"

Mo Yuheng added softly, "Back when Qingxuan Sect was threatened by Feishuang Sect and attacked by the Heavenly Water Sect, our Verdant Vine Sect also assisted you. Why is it that now Qingxuan Sect refuses to help us?"

Shen Mo pushed the door open and entered.

He smiled faintly. "As long as the price is right, of course we can help."

"Mo Yuheng, you claim that the Verdant Vine Sect helped us before, and I acknowledge that. But did you do so without compensation?"

Mo Yuheng was rendered speechless.

The first time the Verdant Vine Sect helped, it was to ally with Qingxuan Sect and the Storm Sect to defeat Feishuang Sect and seize the Alchemy King's Inheritance Cave.

The second time they helped, it was to acquire the second volume of the Verdant Vine Eight-Treasure Book.

Both times, it was a matter of mutual benefit.

There were no debts of gratitude involved.

Murong Yue smiled.

Shen Mo, with his broad vision and sharp mind, was clearly far more suited for the position of Sect Master than she was.

With a faint smile on his lips, Shen Mo looked at Mo Yuheng.

This once stunningly beautiful Young Sect Master of the Verdant Vine Sect now appeared much more haggard.

It was obvious that the dire situation of the Verdant Vine Sect had exhausted her.

Mo Yuheng took a deep breath. "Say it. What do you want?"

Shen Mo smiled. "Simple. I want the Verdant Vine Eight-Treasure Book and the reading method."

Mo Yuheng was stunned, instinctively responding, "That's impossible!"

The Verdant Vine Eight-Treasure Book had its characters deliberately scrambled.

Without the reading method, it was impossible to comprehend it.

Shen Mo's storage ring already contained the third volume of the Verdant Vine Eight-Treasure Book.

He had long coveted the Verdant Vine Sect's reading method.

Now that there was a chance to obtain it, of course, he wouldn't let it slip away.

"Then please leave."

Shen Mo waved his hand dismissively. "The only thing I want is the reading method for the Verdant Vine Eight-Treasure Book."

Liu Menghu smiled wryly. "Young Sect Master Shen, don't make this so difficult. After all, we fought side by side before."

Shen Mo chuckled softly, "It's precisely because we had a good relationship in the past that I'm only making this request."

"Otherwise, my demand would be for the Verdant Vine Sect to merge into the Qingxuan Sect!"

Hearing this, Mo Yuheng and Liu Menghu felt a heavy weight in their hearts but had no other choice.

Shen Mo was right.

The Verdant Vine Sect had indeed fallen into such dire straits.

Gritting her teeth, Mo Yuheng said, "Fine, I can make that decision."

"I'll give you half now, and the rest after the Qingxuan Sect actually steps in to help. How does that sound?"

Shen Mo scoffed, "Mo Yuheng, we're both smart people. Do I need to remind you of the Verdant Vine Sect's current situation?"

"The only sect that can save the Verdant Vine Sect now is the Qingxuan Sect!"

"You have no room to negotiate."

Mo Yuheng's expression was filled with sorrow.

After a long silence, she finally spoke softly, "Alright, I trust you. I trust the Qingxuan Sect."

Taking a deep breath, she retrieved two ordinary-looking booklets from her storage ring, her hands trembling as she handed them over.

Shen Mo accepted them and glanced at the first booklet, which had no title on the cover.

When he opened it, the words "First Volume" appeared before his eyes.

But as he read further, the text became chaotic and disorganized.

A few lines were manageable, but reading too much at once would cause a splitting headache.

This was indeed the first and second volumes of the Verdant Vine Eight-Treasure Book.

Shen Mo then opened the second booklet.

This one was thinner, with only a few pages.

It contained the reading method for the Verdant Vine Eight-Treasure Book.

"I've given you what you wanted," Mo Yuheng said, taking several deep breaths. "Now, I hope the Qingxuan Sect will come to our aid."

Shen Mo nodded. "Of course. I, Shen Mo, always keep my word."

"However, we still need to convene a council with the elders to discuss and devise a proper plan."

Murong Yue smiled, "Let me arrange accommodations for the two of you, so you can rest for now."

Mo Yuheng shook her head. "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master Murong, but I will share my sect's fate."

With that, she cupped her hands in respect and left with Liu Menghu.

Murong Yue turned to Shen Mo. "Mo'er, do you have any thoughts?"

Shen Mo nodded slightly. "Let's hold the council meeting first."

In the council hall.

Though the Qingxuan Sect had grown significantly stronger after annexing the Thunderfire Sect, the number of inner sect elders had increased to fifty.

However, only the most esteemed and powerful elders could participate in the council, and there were always just ten members.

At present, eight elders had arrived, while two were stationed at the third underground fire furnace.

Shen Mo sat beside Murong Yue, listening as the elders voiced their opinions.

Liu Yuanfeng, Wei Xiongtie, Elder Li, and others each presented their own ideas.

There was a deadlock, with constant debates and no consensus in sight.

Even Murong Yue seemed a bit overwhelmed by the endless arguments.

But Shen Mo sat still, unmoved.

The clamor went in one ear and out the other.

What he was truly contemplating was his own life panel.

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Returning to the Divine Sword Sect Felt Like Coming Home New

Chapter 180: Returning to the Divine Sword Sect Felt Like Coming Home

The first thing that came to Shen Mo's mind was the life panel of Mo Yuheng, which he had just seen in the Sect Master's courtyard.

[Recent Turn of Events 1: Ten days later, Mo Yuheng discovers a Heaven-grade treasure, the Longevity Flower, in Spirit Beast Mountain. Overjoyed, he plans to present it to his father. However, he is imprisoned by a Verdant Vine Sect elder guarding Spirit Beast Mountain. That very night, the Divine Sword Sect attacks the mountain, and a Verdant Vine Sect elder self-destructs to cover their retreat. Mo Yuheng narrowly escapes with his life.]

[Recent Turn of Events 2: One month later, Mo Yuheng joins the Verdant Vine Sect in an alliance with the Qingxuan Sect to resist the Divine Sword Sect. Using a grand formation, they severely wound Luo Chaotian. The old Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect appears, reveals his Seven Lotus Nascent Soul, and annihilates the elders of the Verdant Vine Sect and Qingxuan Sect with a single strike.]

After finishing Mo Yuheng's life panel, Shen Mo checked his own.

[Recent Opportunity: Tonight, by studying the Verdant Vine Eight Treasures Codex, you will comprehend the top-tier Heaven-grade technique, Beast Command Technique.]

[Recent Turn of Events: One month later, join forces with the Verdant Vine Sect to resist the Divine Sword Sect. Using the grand formation, severely wound Luo Chaotian. The old Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect appears, reveals his Seven Lotus Nascent Soul, and annihilates the elders of the Verdant Vine Sect and Qingxuan Sect with a single strike.]

He glanced at the life panels of everyone in the hall, and they all shared the same fate.

They were all destined to die at the hands of the Divine Sword Sect's old Sect Master.

Only Liu Yuanfeng's life panel was different.

[Recent Opportunity: One month later, join forces with the Verdant Vine Sect to resist the Divine Sword Sect. Secretly collaborate with the Divine Sword Sect, severely wounding Nangong Yun and nearly killing her. After the old Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect annihilates the Verdant Vine Sect and Qingxuan Sect, Liu Yuanfeng is rewarded and promoted to an inner elder of the Divine Sword Sect.]

Shen Mo glanced at Liu Yuanfeng, who was speaking enthusiastically, his expression calm.

Shen Mo had long known Liu Yuanfeng's true colors.

The reason he hadn't killed him yet was that he wanted to use Liu Yuanfeng to pass along false information.

"This person cannot be killed yet. Killing him now might alert the Divine Sword Sect, causing the predetermined fate to change."

"Besides, Liu Yuanfeng might still be of use."

Shen Mo's eyes flickered as a plan formed in his mind.

"…I have two strategies. The first is to present a valuable treasure to the Divine Sword Sect while secretly assisting the Verdant Vine Sect. We won't need to invest too much manpower—just prolong their battle as much as possible to buy time for our Qingxuan Sect to develop in secret."

"In this way, with our two Earth Fire Furnaces, we'll develop much faster than the Divine Sword Sect. When the time comes, who wins or loses will be uncertain."

Liu Yuanfeng, his face flushed with excitement, spoke eloquently.

"Why don't you tell us the second strategy," Nangong Yun said coldly.

Liu Yuanfeng replied seriously, "The second strategy is to pledge our allegiance to Ji Shilong and express our loyalty to him."

"Ji Shilong commands the Ji Family Army, a force composed mostly of soldiers who once helped him conquer Jiande Prefecture. They are incredibly powerful."

"In the same realm, Ji Family Army soldiers clearly have the upper hand compared to cultivators."

"If we can secure Ji Shilong's support, we'll undoubtedly stand on equal footing with the Divine Sword Sect. With the spirit tools produced by our two Earth Fire Furnaces, it won't be long before we surpass the Divine Sword Sect!"

After finishing his proposal, Liu Yuanfeng smiled, "Sect Master, elders, what do you think?"

Some elders nodded, others shook their heads, and a few furrowed their brows in deep thought.

Based on Liu Yuanfeng's suggestions, it was clear that he had the Qingxuan Sect's interests in mind, and there was no obvious flaw in his proposal.

Even Nangong Yun couldn't think of a counter-argument, so she turned to Shen Mo.

Shen Mo smiled, "Vice Sect Master Liu's two strategies are both excellent. It's clear you are truly loyal to our Qingxuan Sect."

Liu Yuanfeng chuckled, feeling slightly embarrassed.

"How about this," Shen Mo suggested, "Vice Sect Master Liu, why don't you deliver the message to Luo Chaotian, letting him know that our Qingxuan Sect is willing to submit?"

"We will stay out of the upcoming battle between the Divine Sword Sect and the Verdant Vine Sect."

Liu Yuanfeng's eyes widened, and he quickly said, "Young Sect Master, what brilliant insight!"

Those who supported him also immediately echoed, "Young Sect Master, brilliant insight!"

However, Wei Xiongtie, Elder Li, and others frowned deeply.

The elders' council meeting concluded.

Only Shen Mo and Nangong Yun remained in the hall.

"Mo'er, what you said earlier wasn't your true intention. Even if Liu Yuanfeng delivers the message to Luo Chaotian, I doubt he'll believe it," Nangong Yun shook her head.

Shen Mo didn't respond. Instead, he took out a map of Xuanjiang Prefecture, spread it out, and pointed to a spot.

"The Verdant Vine Sect's three key strongholds for raising demon beasts have already been attacked twice. Only Spirit Beast Mountain remains."

"I am certain that the Divine Sword Sect's next target will be Spirit Beast Mountain."

"At this time, by deliberately having Liu Yuanfeng deliver the message to Luo Chaotian, it will only make him more suspicious. He'll likely deploy more cultivators to the border between the Divine Sword Sect and Qingxuan Sect to guard against us."

"This way, the number of people attacking Spirit Beast Mountain will be reduced, and the battle will last longer."

"And once they begin the assault on Spirit Beast Mountain, they'll see that we have remained completely still, as promised. They'll then lower their guard and redeploy the border guards to Spirit Beast Mountain."

"We can launch a surprise attack now and catch the Divine Sword Sect off guard," Shen Mo said with a smile.

Murong Yue's eyes gleamed with admiration.

"Good! We'll do it your way!"

That same night, Liu Yuanfeng rushed to the Divine Sword Sect without stopping.

Since he was carrying out an official mission, there was no need to hide his presence. He traveled openly, with confidence.

Before long, he arrived at the Sect Master's courtyard and was soon greeted by Sect Master Luo Chaotian and Vice Sect Master Ouyang Cang.

Luo Chaotian gave a subtle signal, and Ouyang Cang immediately dismissed everyone else from the room.

Tears welled up in Liu Yuanfeng's eyes as he dropped to one knee. "Greetings, Sect Master! Greetings, Vice Sect Master!"

At that moment, he felt as though he had escaped a den of tigers and returned to the warmth of home. His expression was more heartfelt than if he were greeting his own parents.

Luo Chaotian helped him to his feet, speaking in a gentle tone, "You've endured many years of humiliation, secretly serving the Divine Sword Sect within the Qingxuan Sect. You're finally close to being free."

Liu Yuanfeng quickly waved his hand, "Serving the Divine Sword Sect is an honor. I, Liu Yuanfeng, would willingly face fire and water for you!"

Ouyang Cang stroked his beard. "Tell us, what does Murong Yue want by sending you here?"

Liu Yuanfeng then recounted everything that had taken place in the Qingxuan Sect's council hall.

Ouyang Cang raised an eyebrow. "Sect Master, what do you think?"

Luo Chaotian's expression remained unchanged. "It's fake."

"This is nothing more than Shen Mo's clumsy smokescreen. It's too immature, too transparent."

Liu Yuanfeng nodded repeatedly, "I thought the same. Shen Mo is still too young, thinking he can deceive our Divine Sword Sect with such a scheme. Truly laughable."

Luo Chaotian considered for a moment. "Send word to gather ten more Core Formation elders and thirty Foundation Establishment disciples to guard the border. We must not let a single person from the Qingxuan Sect cross the boundary!"

"The more they pretend to stay still, the more we must fortify the border and remain vigilant."

Ouyang Cang nodded. "Sect Master, your foresight is unparalleled!"

However, his tone shifted, "But if we do that, our Core Formation cultivators attacking Spirit Beast Mountain will be reduced, which could extend the duration of the battle."

Luo Chaotian chuckled. "We have an insider in Spirit Beast Mountain."

Both Ouyang Cang and Liu Yuanfeng widened their eyes in surprise. "An insider?!"

Luo Chaotian responded calmly, "He is currently one of the elders guarding Spirit Beast Mountain, in control of the mountain's grand formation. He has never passed on any information, so the Verdant Vine Sect has no idea that he's working for us."

"That's why I'm confident. Even with fewer people, we can take Spirit Beast Mountain within a few hours."

Ouyang Cang and Liu Yuanfeng looked at Luo Chaotian with admiration, their faces full of respect.
