A man in the martial world, a reincarnated sword immortal.

Chapter 61 Designing the Spirit Vulture Palace!

"Take this strip of cloth to the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny..."

A thoughtful look flashed in Sikong Xuan's eyes.

If what this young hero said is true!

Tianshan Child Granny is truly a traitor to that so-called Free and Unfettered Sect!

There are only two possible outcomes if he brings this strip of cloth to the Heavenly Child Granny.

The first result would be that the Heavenly Child Granny would ask him where the strip of cloth came from.

The second result was that the Heavenly Child Granny was furious and killed him without saying a word.

Judging from the unpredictable nature of Tianshan Tonglao's past actions, the second possibility is more likely.

But then I thought about it again.

If the Shennong Gang continues to operate under the Lingjiu Palace's command and controlled by the Life and Death Talisman, they will only be at the beck and call of the Lingjiu Palace.

There is always the risk of losing one's life.

Living such a wretched existence is hardly a sustainable solution.

If what this young hero says is true, then it means that the Shennong Gang has a chance to cure the poison of the [Life and Death Talisman].

This hope... is extremely important to the Shennong Gang!

Moreover, if he fails to take down the Boundless Sword today, it would be tantamount to failing to complete the task entrusted to him by the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny.

Even if they escaped alive from Sword Lake Palace, they would still be doomed to die at the hands of the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny!

Moreover, even death may not be a quick and painless one!

Why not take a gamble!

Not only for himself, but also for the Shennong Gang!

Thinking this through, he took a deep breath and slowly said to Zhong Yuan, "Okay!"

"I agree to this."

Seeing Sikong Xuan's expression change repeatedly, Zhong Yuan was already almost certain of success.

He knew that the temptation he had offered was something Sikong Xuan could not possibly refuse.

In the original storyline, Sikong Xuan was forced to commit suicide by jumping into the river because he failed to complete the task entrusted to him by Tianshan Tonglao.

at the moment.

Does he have a better option?

Obviously not.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Yuan immediately raised his hand, released Sikong Xuan's pressure points, and handed the strip of cloth to Sikong Xuan.

At this time.

Zuo Zimu, standing to the side, looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "Young Master Fang."

"Even if Sikong Xuan was forced by Lingjiu Palace, he did indeed cause the death of my junior brother Rong!"

"I have to settle this score with him."

"How can I face my disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect now?"

Upon hearing this, Sikong Xuan snorted coldly and said to Zuo Zimu, "Sect Leader Zuo."

"Last year, when my Shennong Gang came to Jianhu Palace to ask for medicine, you and Rong Ziju killed two of my Shennong Gang leaders."

"If it weren't for Young Hero Fang's intervention today, your entire Wuliang Sword Sect would already be my prisoners."

"I'll leave this matter here for now, out of respect for Young Hero Fang."

"Whether I will survive after meeting that Holy Envoy of Lingjiu Palace is still uncertain."

"If I am killed by the Holy Envoy of Lingjiu Palace, it will be as if I have paid for Rong Ziju's life with my own."

"If I am still alive by some stroke of luck, and you have also survived the ordeal of the Lingjiu Palace's [Life and Death Talisman], then you can come and discuss with me who the real enemy is."

After saying this, Sikong Xuan cupped his hands towards Zhong Yuan and said, "Young Hero Fang!"

"My journey here is fraught with peril, and my chances of survival are slim!"

"However, if I want to live, I must reveal everything about Young Hero Fang to Granny Tianshan."

"Young Master Fang, are you truly not afraid of the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny, nor of the Lingjiu Palace?"

With an air of complete confidence, Zhong Yuan addressed Sikong Xuan, saying, "Chief Sikong."

"If the Heavenly Child Granny asks you about me, you may as well tell her everything you know."

"As long as you live, I will surely cure you of the poison of the [Life and Death Talisman] in the future."

Upon hearing this, Sikong Xuan took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and said, "Alright!"

"With Young Master Fang's words, I feel even more confident."

"The mountains are high and the roads are long, but the future is long!"

"I'll take my leave first."

That's all.

Sikong Xuan waved to a group of Shennong Gang disciples who were waiting in battle, signaling them to take the corpses of the Shennong Gang disciples and leave quickly.

A short while later.

Then Sikong Xuan and his Shennong Gang disciples disappeared without a trace.

at this time.

Zuo Zimu, with a worried expression, said to Zhong Yuan, "Young Master Fang."

"Just now, Sikong Xuan mentioned that the Holy Envoy of Lingjiu Palace will arrive soon."

"Sikong Xuan was quite skilled, yet he was still controlled by the Lingjiu Palace with the [Life and Death Talisman], to the point of being unable to live or die."

"If Lingjiu Palace insists on making my Boundless Sword submit, then the next person to come to Sword Lake Palace will likely be the Holy Envoy of Lingjiu Palace."

"What should we do?"

Seeing this, Zhong Yuan said calmly, "If Sect Leader Zuo wants to escape this calamity, there is only one way."

Zuo Zimu raised an eyebrow and hurriedly asked Zhong Yuan, "Please enlighten me, Young Hero Fang!"

Zhong Yuan had an idea in mind and said calmly, "Naturally, we will lead the Wuliang Sword disciples to leave Jianhu Palace overnight and find another place to hide our identities."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Zimu immediately shook his head and said, "How can that be allowed!"

"My Wuliang Sword School was founded in Wuliang Mountain during the Later Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties period."

"They lived in Jianhu Palace for generations, although later it was divided into the Northern Sect, the Eastern Sect, and the Western Sect."

"But the rule that the disciples of the three sects compete in swords every five years to determine which sect will move into Sword Lake Palace has remained unchanged for so many years."

"If I were to flee with my disciples overnight, abandoning Sword Lake Palace altogether..."

"If Xin Shuangqing of the Western Sect finds out in the future, he'll laugh at us to death."

"Besides, the Lingjiu Palace has spies everywhere; where can we escape to?"

"If we get caught by those people from Lingjiu Palace, we'll be dead!"

"No, no."

"This method won't work."

Zuo Zimu shook his head like a rattle drum.

Seeing this, Zhong Yuan smiled faintly, having long anticipated Zuo Zimu's reaction.

It would be strange if Zuo Zimu were willing to abandon Jianhu Palace.

Zuo Zimu's plan was simply to get him to stay a couple more days so he could deal with the Holy Envoy of Lingjiu Palace.

But he naturally wouldn't let Zuo Zimu lead him by the nose.

On the contrary, he had already come up with a solution for Zuo Zimu.

"If the Left Sect Leader is truly unwilling to leave Sword Lake Palace..."

"Well... I do have a plan that might ensure the safety of Wuliang Sword."

"It's just that... Sect Leader Zuo will have to suffer a bit."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Zimu's eyes lit up. He was certain that Zhong Yuan was the esteemed disciple of the founder of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Since Tianshan Tonglao was a traitor to the Xiaoyao Sect.

This young hero Fang must have a way to deal with the Heavenly Child Granny.

"Please enlighten me, Young Master Fang!"

Zuo Zimu spoke to Zhong Yuan with a respectful expression.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuan smiled faintly and gestured for Zuo Zimu to come closer.

Although Zuo Zimu was puzzled, he still leaned in to listen.

A moment later.

A look of doubt crossed Zuo Zimu's face. He slowly said, "Young Master Fang, are you sure this method will work?"

Zhong Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Does Sect Leader Zuo have a better solution now?"

Zuo Zimu took a deep breath, his eyes filled with doubt.

"Is everything you just said truly true?"

Zhong Yuan said with his hands behind his back, "Of course it's true. You just need to spread the word."

"Do as I say again."

"At most, the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny will plant a Life-and-Death Talisman on you; she will never harm your life."

"If you trust me, I will cure you of the poison of the Life and Death Talisman in the future."

Zuo Zimu hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"There's no better solution right now."

"If Young Master Fang wanted to harm me, why go to such lengths?"

"Young Master Fang, I believe you!"
