Chapter 722 Speculation & Alliance.

Yang Tie asked Shi Lang what he wanted to do in this situation. How did this young man wish to get back at the Zhu family for their atrocious action? The pavilion master was worried about this issue because one mistake could kick-start a war inside the city.

They were not afraid of it, but the centurion tournament was around the corner, and something like this would affect the proceedings. Yang Tie did not want that. If Shi Lang suffered any injury in this scuffle, Tian Long would blame him.

Yang Tie said, "Everyone, leave."

The people realized that the Pavilion Master did not wish for them to hear the things related to this matter. They were the higher-ups, and it was not that they did not trust them. Yang Tie did not wish to drag them into unnecessary issues. The people left, and Shi Lang stood calmly before the husk of skin.

When everyone was out of the room, Yang Tie erected a barrier, and the terran said, "Have a few people carry this to the City Palace and show it to the city lord. At the same time, send Elfie to Zhu Xiameng\'s house. Please compensate them and tell them we did not wish to see such an ending. Elfie can help them acknowledge our sincere condolences."

Yang Tie was surprised and asked, "Young Master, can you tell me what you intend to achieve by doing this?"

Shi Lang smiled and replied, "I wish to unsettle Third Zhu. I wish for him to make a mistake. He will come knocking on the door. I can tell by the look in his eyes that he is overly ambitious. How he looks at Senior Pie, his family is up to something."

Yang Tie was shocked. He said, "Young Master, how can you be so sure? Zhu Lin could be after the administration of his family, right? He wants to be the next patriarch."

Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "He does want to be the patriarch, but have you considered that if the city\'s administration changed hands, what would happen?"

Yang Tie replied, "Young Master, we have the sovereign backing us up."

It was correct, and they did have a couple of Immortal Sovereigns backing them. Shi Lang shook his head, "The change in city administration will influence the power dynamics of the city. City Lord Pie is an Immortal Emperor with two sovereigns\' backing. However, the Zhu Family is also prominent in the city. They might have some sovereign backing them. If the Immortal Emperor from the Zhu Family acted low profile, slowly gathering strength. They can create an upset and take down the influence of the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion.

Today, Zhu Lin gains the Zhu Family, and tomorrow, he takes down the city. His ambition is not small, and neither is his cunning. He is a snake that will hide in the hole for centuries to stalk a prey."

His words surprised Yang Tie. The pavilion lord did not know there could be such reasons. However, he did not follow Shi Lang blindly and asked, "Young Master, all this is just your speculation. Right?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I won\'t say I couldn\'t look too deep into the situation. However, to confirm that the snake is stalking prey, we must send bait. In this situation, we need some chaos."

Yang Tie thought about it and nodded. He said, "I will have someone rush to the City Palace, and when Elfie returns, she will visit Zhu Xiameng\'s house."

Shi Lang nodded and asked, "Can you show me the way to the library?"

Yang Tie was surprised but nodded and took the young man to the library. Shi Lang was not omnipotent and did not wish to waste time. He selected a few books on forging and array formations in the library. He asked, "Brother Yang, You can go and do your work. I will be reading my stuff."

The pavilion master nodded and left. Shi Lang sat down next to a window and began reading.

...

Amelia stood on the battlefield. The scene was that of carnage. Destruction was the word that could be used to describe the actions of the War Maiden Sect. They were ruthless, and they fought in a manner where none of the Demon Cultivators could find any solution to get a break. Amelia had given out clear orders. None of them were to be taken prisoner. None of them were to be spared.

Right now, her breathing was uneasy. She had just withdrawn her blade from the chest of the last person. She was still looking around to kill more people, but no demon cultivators were left standing. Suddenly, an elder spoke, "Be Careful."

Amelia raised her eyes and found a group of ladies standing in the void. She was surprised by the beauty of this lady, but her expression calmed down. The elder who spoke earlier appeared beside her and asked, "Lady Zither Soul? To what do we owe this pleasure?"

Amelia narrowed her gaze and waited for the lady to reply. Zither Soul smiled faintly and said, "I come in peace, Sister Flower Sword."

Zither Soul landed on the ground, bowed to the old lady, and said, "I came here to deliver a gift."

Flower Sword was not buying the smile and asked coldly, "What is the occasion?"

Zither Soul smiled and said, "My brother asked me to pass this to her. She is the sect mistress of the War Maiden Sect, while her husband is my sworn brother and also the champion of the Heavenly Dragon Army."

Flower Sword was a sovereign from the Grand Elder Lineage. She knew the news, but Zither Soul confirming things in person had a different implementation. Zither Soul continued, "Not many people know that we swore in as brother and sister. He did not wish for the world to know it either because of the current difference in our status. But I assure you that I will be relying on him more than he ever relied on me in the future."

Flower Sword was surprised, and she asked, "What gift have you bought for the sect mistress?"

Zither Soul waved her hand, and a case appeared in the void. Amelia was surprised, but then she smiled. She walked closer to the box. Flower Sword wanted to stop her, but the Terran Lady said, "I accept this gift, Elder Sister Zither Soul."

Zither Soul smiled widely and said, "It seems he knows you well."

Amelia smiled and replied, "If he did not even know this much about me in all these years, then I would have dumped him long ago."

Flower Sword watched the exchange and saw Amelia opening the box carefully. Inside lay a rifle made of white jade and golden trimmings. Amelia picked it up and asked, "He gave you the design?"

Zither Soul nodded and said, "All the arrays and functionalities of the rifle were specified by him also."

Amelia nodded and took an aiming stance. She aimed at the flagpost of the demon cultivator sect. The flag post was three kilometers away, and everyone looked at what the lady wanted to do. Amelia loaded a bullet from the box inside the chamber and squeezed the trigger. She channeled her spiritual energy through the weapon.

The efficiency and the damage count of the bullet had increased. Another thing was complete sound suppression. The bullet flew through the void and hit the flag post square. Flower Sword asked in surprise, "How?"

Amelia replied, "Invisible bullet."

She was happy that Shi Lang had someone of high status send such a gift to her. This was something she missed in the cultivation realm. She turned to look at Zither Soul and bowed as she said, "I thank you for this gift."

The latter waved her hand and said, "I came here for another purpose. I seek an alliance with your sect."

Flower Sword narrowed her gaze and thought Amelia would promise instantly. In the cultivation world, people had to be worried about the humans more than the demons.

However, Amelia said, "Elder Sister, it is not easy to ally with a sect. This one rifle will not cut it. How about you come to the sect? We have just finished an expedition and are tired, after freshening up. We will talk in detail."

Flower Sword and the rest of the people were surprised, but the ball was now in Zither Soul\'s court. The latter smiled and nodded. She said, "It would be my honor to visit your sect."

Amelia nodded and said, "Sister Ying, leave one-fourth of the people to clean up and stabilize the region. Organize the search patrols on the borders and check for any demonic cultivators. If you find any signs, react first and inform us later. Don\'t let them walk in if it is some human sect."

Ying Yu nodded and began to organize the place. Amelia arranged for Zither Soul to get on the spirit vessel. She was curious as to what this lady might ask her. She sent a message to Shi Lang informing him of her safety and the arrival of his gift.
