Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood Chapter 2017 - 996: A Plan to Kill Three Birds with One Ston

Within it were recorded the tens of thousands of energy fluctuation data sets about the seventy-two core runes, painstakingly detected by the research group over the past few days, which were instantly destroyed.

"Bastard!"

Elder Gu, whose temper was already severe, flew into a rage and slapped the disciple flying out.

"How did you handle this!"

The disciple, bleeding from the mouth, crawled on the ground, trembling with fear and speaking incoherently.

"I didn’t do it on purpose, it was, it was a slip of the hand, Elder, spare ! Spare !"

Elder Gu’s face turned ashen with anger, still wanting to erupt further, but was stopped by Luo Qingchen standing next to him.

"Elder Gu, please calm down."

Luo Qingchen’s gaze calmly swept over the kneeling disciple, then looked at the crystal stone fragnts on the ground. Deep in his eyes, a trace of an unnoticeable cold light flashed.

"The data is destroyed, but it can be re-asured, it will just take more ti."

"Nowadays, people inside and outside the Sect are anxious; perhaps this junior brother was too nervous, which led to the mistake."

"Let’s leave this matter as it is."

Luo Qingchen pleaded for rcy. Although Elder Gu was still seething with rage inside, he couldn’t say much more. He just snorted coldly and ordered soone to drag the disciple away.

A seemingly ordinary accident was thus lightly brushed over.

But when the disciple was being dragged away, the flash of relief and venom in his eyes made Luo Qingchen realize that things weren’t so simple.

That night, Luo Qingchen found Elder Qin Mingyuan, who was patrolling the defenses.

"Uncle Qin, I need your help."

"What is it?"

"Help secretly investigate the disciple who accidentally broke the morial Crystal Stone in the research hall today."

"You also suspect him?" Qin Mingyuan’s eyes focused.

"It’s not suspicion." Luo Qingchen shook his head. "I’m almost certain he did it on purpose."

"His hand had a very hidden forceful movent the mont before he threw the Spirit Stone, and his eyes were too calm, completely unlike soone who made a huge mistake by accident."

"But, I need evidence."

Qin Mingyuan gave Luo Qingchen a profound look and nodded.

"Alright, leave this matter to ."

"Moreover, I have a set of false Star Map research data here, recording a wrong ti and place for opening the Star Gate."

Luo Qingchen handed over a Jade Slip.

"I’d like Uncle Qin to find a way to ’inadvertently’ let certain people obtain this data."

Qin Mingyuan understood Luo Qingchen’s intention in an instant, a cold smile curling at his lips.

"Luring the snake out of the hole? I like it."

Thus, an invisible net was cast.

Two days later, Qin Mingyuan brought news.

The disciple nad Wang Hao from the Array Hall, after being confined, sneaked out that night to have a brief encounter with a Manager from the Law Enforcent Hall in a dense forest at the back of the mountain.

And that Manager from the Law Enforcent Hall was once one of Fang Zhenxiong’s most trusted confidants, a middle-aged man nad Wei Cheng.

After that, Wei Cheng frequently had secret contacts with so Inner Sect Disciples and Stewards who were close to Fang Zhenxiong in the past.

anwhile, the false information released by Qin Mingyuan’s n was successfully passed to Wei Cheng through a patrol disciple who had been turned.

Everything was as Luo Qingchen had anticipated.

Fang Zhenxiong’s remnants indeed had not given up.

Not only did they want to sabotage the Star Map research to avenge Fang Zhenxiong, but they also intended to steal the secrets of the Star Map.

However, the situation was developing even more severely than they imagined.

Another day passed, and Qin Mingyuan brought intelligence that shocked everyone.

Wei Cheng and others had secretly contacted an external force to the Sect.

That force was none other than the Zhao Family, who had a blood feud with Luo Qingchen and others at the teorite Pit, and who were later challenged within the Sect, leading to their suppression by Master Xuan Yang himself!

The Zhao Family, severely weakened by the last incident, held a deep grudge against Qingyun Sect and Luo Qingchen.

Wei Cheng promised them that as long as the Zhao Family sent masters to assist, the secret of the Star Gate could be shared with them after succeeding.

Their plan thus surfaced.

Three days later would be the date marked in the false information for "opening the Star Gate."

At that ti, under Wei Cheng and other insiders’ guidance, the Zhao Family’s masters would disguise as black-robed Demonic Cultivators and launch a fierce feint attack on the relatively weakly defended western valley of the Sect, drawing most of the Sect’s attention and defensive forces.

anwhile, Wei Cheng would lead a small elite team to sneak into the undefended Darksteel Dungeon during the chaos and rescue Fang Zhenxiong.

Once Fang Zhenxiong was freed, with his influence in the Sect, a call to arms would undoubtedly provoke a massive internal conflict.

At that point, they could collaborate inside and outside, seizing control of the situation, capturing the Star Map, and placing all the bla on "black-robed Demonic Cultivators" and the "unfortunate sacrifice" of Luo Qingchen.

A seamlessly interlinked, insidious, and vicious plan.

"What a plan to kill three birds with one stone."

After hearing Qin Mingyuan’s narration, a trace of icy killing intent flashed in Luo Qingchen’s eyes.

"Since they’ve set the stage, if we don’t put on a good show, wouldn’t we be failing them terribly?"

In Master Xuan Yang’s council hall, Luo Qingchen, Qin Mingyuan, Elder Xiao, and Master Xuan Yang, who had just learned of the matter, were gathered together.

"Fight fire with fire."

After listening to all the plans, Master Xuan Yang only uttered these four words. His face showed no emotion, but deep in his eyes, lightning was brewing.
