The Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary opened?

Inside the Grand Hall, Qi Qiao was dumbfounded upon hearing the Earth Spirit Land Venerables report, while the other Open Heaven Realm Masters were equally stunned.

The Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary was a wondrous place. Even though many people had heard about its existence, it took a great opportunity for anyone to be able to enter. Moreover, even if one managed to enter, it wasnt certain if they could come out alive. It was an opportunity as well as a risk.

Wei Hua nodded, That was what Chen Tian Fei told me.

The female Venerable of Yin Spirit Land asked, Senior Brother Wei, do you think he was telling the truth?

Wei Hua shook his head, Ill need to investigate further before I can verify his claim. However, based on my observation, Chen Tian Fei didnt seem to be lying. Moreover, this matter has far-reaching implications, and the news will be spread quickly. I dont think they would do something so foolish as to tell such an easily exposed lie.

Qi Qiao nodded, Thats right. The opening of Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary is a major event, and no one can hide it.

Wei Hua said, Apparently, their Star City was swallowed by the Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary, so theyre homeless now. When they were finally able to leave, they happened to be around this place. Heavenly Monarch, Chen Tian Fei remembered you, which was why he decided to come to Seven Wonders Land to have a short stay.

I see, Qi Qiao muttered.

Previously, he wondered why those from Scarlet Star would come all the way here to his territory. He came to find now that it was because of the opening of the Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary, which was a valid reason.

The eyes of Yang Spirit Land Venerable brightened as he said, Heavenly Monarch, in that case, we can consider taking in those people from Scarlet Star. Now that theyre homeless, we can make them stay in Seven Wonders Land to strengthen our power. By then, we wont have to be afraid of Yu Xiu Shan anymore.

Wood Spirit Land Venerable snorted, Are you out of your mind? Chen Tian Fei doesnt matter as hes just a Fourth-Order, but Zhao Bai Chuan is a Fifth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master who is in the same realm as Heavenly Monarch. Regardless of whether we can take them in or not, Im worried that they will not be loyal to us.

Yang Spirit Land Venerable found this to be sensible. Zhao Bai Chuan was a Fifth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master, so if he was allowed to stay in Seven Wonders Land, it was difficult to subdue him as he might not be willing to work under the Heavenly Monarch. Moreover, those from Scarlet Star had lost their Star City, so they needed a new place to call home; therefore, they might covet Seven Wonders Land. It was akin to welcoming wolves into ones home if they were allowed to stay.

After giving it a thought, Yang Spirit Land Venerable said, We dont have to take them in, but we can employ them.

Qi Qiao gazed at him, You mean

There was a smile on Yang Spirit Land Venerables face, They dont have a place to call home anyway, and Chen Tian Fei is an old acquaintance of yours. If we can offer a good price, they might be willing to lend us a hand. One of them is a Fifth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master, and the other is a Fourth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master. If we put them in the right places, they can help us destroy Flying Smoke Temple.

The Wood Spirit Land Venerable scoffed, Youre oversimplifying things.

There seemed to be some grudges between the two Venerables. Seeing as the other party refuted him again, Yang Spirit Land Venerable sported a dark expression and glared at him, What opinion do you have, then?

Wood Spirit Land Venerable said, They have just left the Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary. Even though weve never been to that place, weve heard about it. Theres great danger as well as opportunities inside. As long as one is able to leave that place alive, they will undoubtedly bring with them immense rewards. Now, theyre alive and kicking. Although I have no idea what theyve obtained, theyre definitely not poor. What can we offer that will make them willing to lend us a hand? They will brush us off if the benefits are not good enough, and well suffer a loss if the benefits are too tremendous.

Yang Spirit Land Venerable tried to argue, But, Chen Tian Fei is an old friend of Heavenly Monarch. If Heavenly Monarch personally

Have you cultivated too long and lost your mind? Wood Spirit Land Venerable gave him a disdainful look, Regardless of whether Chen Tian Fei will value this friends.h.i.+p and decide to lend us a hand, hes not the Head Manager of Scarlet Star. The Head Manager is Zhao Bai Chuan! If Heavenly Monarch is turned down, our force will be thoroughly embarra.s.sed!

Yang Spirit Land Venerable was fuming with rage, but he had to admit that the other Venerable was right; therefore, he was lost for words at the moment.

Qi Qiao was seated at the head of the hall as he stared coldly at his subordinates, who were bickering with each other, only interjecting after some time to ask, Miao Yue, since you keep refuting him, you must have a plan in mind. Why dont you tell us about it?

Miao Yue was the name of the Wood Spirit Land Venerable.

Hearing that, Yang Spirit Land Venerable became elated as he took pleasure in Miao Yues misfortune, waiting for the latter to embarra.s.s himself in front of the Heavenly Monarch.

Nevertheless, with a confident look on his face, Miao Yue explained, Yes, Heavenly Monarch. I do have an idea. If this plan works, not only can we pay nothing to get the help of those from Scarlet Star, but we can also have a chance to get rid of Yu Xiu Shan forever. However, you have to personally act to express our sincerity.

Yang Spirit Land Venerable glowered at him, Nonsense!

However, Qi Qiaos interest had been piqued, Tell me about it.

As Miao Yue explained his idea, the eyes of the people in the Grand Hall brightened as they appeared excited. Even though Yang Spirit Land Venerable was displeased, he had to admit that the other Venerable was a clever person. He hated himself for not being able to come up with such a simple solution, which allowed his rival to gain all the credit.

Upon hearing the full plan, Qi Qiao guffawed, Miao Yue, your idea will help us chase the wolves away while getting all the benefits, and with an overt plot at that. Even if those from Scarlet Star see through it, they will still be tempted. Wonderful. If this plan works, you will be rewarded greatly.

There was a polite smile on Miao Yues face, Heavenly Monarch, it is my duty to help you share your burden, so I wouldnt dare to take any credit for it. Then, with a smug expression, he shot a glance at Yang Spirit Land Venerable, which infuriated the latter.

After rising from his chair, Qi Qiao Heavenly Monarch declared, We should get it done quickly as Yu Xiu Shan might strike again at any moment. This King will look for Zhao Bai Chuan and discuss this matter with him now.

Miao Yue then said, Heavenly Monarch, regarding the Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary

Qi Qiao stopped in his tracks and fell silent for a moment, Get some people to look into this matter. If the Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary really opened, news would have spread quickly and caused a great commotion. Just ask around in the Universe Temple and we will soon know the truth.

Yes, Miao Yue replied respectfully.

Half a day later, in the palace where those from Scarlet Star lived, Zhao Bai Chuan and Chen Tian Fei hospitably saw Qi Qiao off. It wasnt certain what the discussion was about, but all of them sported bright smiles on their faces. Apparently, they were happy with the outcome.

Its decided, then. I will be counting on your a.s.sistance then, Brother Zhao, Qi Qiao cupped his fists. His face had been pale due to his injury, but at this moment, it seemed to be glowing.

Zhao Bai Chuan cupped his fists back and said, Many thanks, Heavenly Monarch. This Zhao and all of us from Scarlet Star are grateful that youve found such a great opportunity for us. If everything works out, we will certainly prepare a great gift for you.

Youre too polite, Qi Qiao chuckled and bid them farewell before leaving.

In his heart, he was extremely pleased. Initially, if they wanted to seek the help of those from Scarlet Star, they would have had to pay a hefty price; however, by using Miao Yues plan, not only could they pay nothing, they also stood to gain a reward from Scarlet Star after the incident. This was indeed a perfect plan with all the benefits going to them.

After Qi Qiao was gone, Zhao Bai Chuan and Chen Tian Fei returned to their hall and opened a barrier to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on them.

With an awkward expression, Chen Tian Fei stroked his chin, Head Manager, just like what you had expected, Qi Qiao came to borrow some people from us, but his idea is interesting.

Zhao Bai Chuan chuckled, This open conspiracy is indeed ingenious.

Chen Tian Fei nodded his head, They know that were homeless, so we need a place to settle down. As long as we can help them get rid of Yu Xiu Shan, we can take over Flying Smoke Temple. Tsk Its such a perfect plan. Head Manager, what do you think?

He knew that Zhao Bai Chuan intended to s.n.a.t.c.h Seven Wonders Land, but Qi Qiao had presented Flying Smoke Temple to them as bait, so he wasnt sure if they should accept it.

Strictly speaking, Qi Qiaos suggestion would most likely work; after all, if they joined forces, there was no way those from Flying Smoke Temple could defeat them. If they could come up with a proper plan, they certainly could s.n.a.t.c.h the Temple. On the other hand, they were not confident that they could take control of Seven Wonders Land.

Zhao Bai Chuan just wanted a place to settle down, and Seven Wonders Land and Flying Smoke Temple were both Second Cla.s.s forces, so either of them would be fine. There was no reason for them to insist on choosing Seven Wonders Land; therefore, the Head Manager would have to make a decision.

Zhao Bai Chuan, however, just sneered and replied, This King knows nothing about Flying Smoke Temple, but Ive taken a liking to Seven Wonders Land.

Hearing that, Chen Tian Fei knew that the Head Manager was determined to obtain Seven Wonders Land. After pondering on it for a moment, he said, Should we pretend to play along and act according to the circ.u.mstances, then?

Zhao Bai Chuan said, Dont worry. Ive already made some arrangements. Now, well have to see if we can pull in one more p.a.w.n. If we can do that, well definitely achieve our goal.

Right then, Zhao Bai Chuans expression changed as he waved his hand to undo the barrier.

The next moment, a Third-Order Master stepped into the hall with an unconscious woman in his hand. Then, he cupped his fists and said, Manager Zhao, Manager Chen.

This Third-Order Master was one of the Great Commanders of Scarlet Star, and his position was only below the Managers. Previously, he had followed Zhao Bai Chuan and Chen Tian Fei to enter Seven Wonders Land. There were more than ten Low-Rank cultivators just like him, but their powers varied.

How was it? Zhao Bai Chuan asked.

The man replied excitedly, Just as Head Manager expected, some of the disciples from Seven Wonders Land have left in succession.

Zhao Bai Chuan scoffed, The news of the opening of the Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary has been spread, so theyd definitely send some people to gather information; after all, they dont fully trust us.

The person said, I was waiting for a long time before I found a chance to capture one of them. Soon, the other one will come into contact with the other Managers.

Initially, Chen Tian Fei had no idea what this person was saying, but after listening for a while, he became excited and immediately realised the Head Managers plan. Secretly, he admired the Head Managers cunning. Previously, while the Head Manager told Chen Tian Fei to un.o.btrusively reveal the news regarding the Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary, he also secretly set up a plot. Chen Tian Fei felt that he was no match for the Head Manager when it came to intelligence, so he became even more respectful of the latter.
