928. Taking advantage of an opportunity to make a fuss
Then, Xiao Yan swept his Dou Qi around and, carrying Hua Jin, who was paralyzed to the side by his actions, and the completely unconscious Demon Flower Evil Lord, went to see Fairy Hua again.
Even if Hua Jin betrayed the sect, she was still a member of the Hua Sect, so Xiao Yan wouldn't punish her directly. He could just take them away as Hua Xianzi had suggested.
When Hua Jin saw Fairy Hua, her eyes were blurred with tears. She knelt on the ground, unable to utter a single word. The guilt and fear in her heart overwhelmed everything else.
At this moment, she was also experiencing a mix of emotions: regret, pain, guilt...
Fairy Hua merely stared at her for a short while, without revealing an overly harsh expression, though a look of disappointment ultimately flashed across her face. Despite her dissatisfaction with Hua Jin, she still acknowledged her abilities and allowed her to become an elder of the Flower Sect. It would be a lie to say she had no expectations of Hua Jin. However, all the past events were meaningless in the face of Hua Jin's betrayal of the Flower Sect.
Finally, Fairy Hua said to Yao Qingyu, "Qingyu, take her to the Hall of Enforcement. Also, convey my order: your senior sister, Hua Luoling, will take over as the acting sect leader of the Flower Sect!"
Seeing this, Yao Qingyu nodded. Just as she was about to take Hua Jin away, Xiao Yan said to Fairy Hua, "Senior, please wait a moment. I have an idea."
Fairy Hua looked at Xiao Yan and nodded, saying, "Tell me about it!"
Xiao Yan smiled at the Demon Flower Evil Lord: "I have an ability to make this person act according to my arrangements. I'm thinking we should go with the flow. Since the Soul Hall has designs on the Flower Sect, we can use this person as an infiltrator. I'll spread false information and ambush any Soul Hall members who want to come to the Flower Sect. What do you think?"
This was an idea Xiao Yan had after he defeated the Demon Flower Evil Lord; he believed there were no flaws in his plan.
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's idea, Fairy Hua's expression didn't change much, but her heart was in turmoil. Fairy Hua was naturally furious that the Soul Palace had plotted against the sect. Now, according to Xiao Yan, it would be a good thing to be able to deal a heavy blow to the Soul Palace. At the very least, it would be a chance to vent her anger. However, the sect's actions often couldn't be based on personal likes and dislikes.
"Ambush them? What are you relying on? If the Soul Palace were to make a move, it would definitely be a Dou Sheng-level force."
Xiao Yan pointed at the Demon Flower Evil Lord and said, "The Soul Hall wants to take action against the Flower Sect, but they still need to send someone like this to infiltrate. This shows that they don't have the ability to take over the Flower Sect by direct assault. My prediction is that this person is most likely from an important branch of the Soul Hall, because if all the Soul Hall's experts were to act, there would be no need for this trouble!"
Fairy Hua nodded in agreement. She knew Xiao Yan was right. If the Soul Palace headquarters were to directly attack the Flower Sect, it would be an absolute suppression of power, without needing so many roundabout methods.
As for their infiltration of spies, although they succeeded, they also revealed too many clues.
"Therefore, I predict that the attackers are probably slightly stronger than the seniors of the Flower Sect, but not excessively so. Under normal circumstances, it would be best to avoid such a powerful enemy. However, the arrival of my teacher and me is a variable. By taking advantage of their unpreparedness, it is quite possible that we can gain the upper hand or even kill them outright!"
Xiao Yan spoke with confidence, now truly believing he was the variable. His greatest asset was his status as a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) level expert, capable of unleashing formidable power wherever he went. Furthermore, Xiao Yan knew his teacher was in the Flower Sect, and the renowned Qing Xianzi, on par with Hua Xianzi, was also a Dou Sheng level expert. With four Dou Sheng-level warriors, a battle was entirely possible!
Upon hearing this, Yao Qingyu's face lit up with excitement, seemingly eager to put the Soul Palace to the test. Scheming against the Soul Palace was extremely dangerous, but success would be incredibly rewarding!
Let the entire Central Continent know: the Flower Sect is not to be trifled with, not even by the Soul Palace!
However, Fairy Hua remained unchanged, her expression revealing neither agreement nor refusal; she had not yet made up her mind. As the hidden leader of the Flower Sect, although she greatly admired Xiao Yan, one thing was one thing, and the future of the Flower Sect was of utmost importance to her!
Then, Fairy Hua suddenly said, "You little rascal, you also hope to use my Flower Sect to wipe out the Soul Hall's high-ranking members and completely bind yourself to the Starfall Pavilion's alliance, right?"
Exposing the Soul Hall's plan isn't a problem, but killing a key figure in the Soul Hall would make a significant difference. Doing so would mean the Flower Sect would have to directly confront the Soul Hall!
Seeing this, Xiao Yan sighed softly, then nodded sincerely: "Senior, I do have this thought, but from the bottom of my heart, I believe an alliance would benefit both of us; cooperation is mutually beneficial! The Soul Clan and the Soul Palace are powerful; if we don't want to be swallowed up, we can only gather our strength to fight them. The Soul Clan has now revealed a weakness, which is naturally the best opportunity for us to strike them hard!"
"If you feel that Xiao Yan has ulterior motives, it's fine to cancel this ambush! I will also discuss with my teacher about intercepting them halfway!"
Hua Xianzi looked at Xiao Yan, and their eyes met for a moment before a ripple appeared in Hua Xianzi's eyes.
Seeing Hua Xianzi's state, Yao Qingyu couldn't help but advise, "Teacher, the Soul Palace has already used such despicable methods; continuing to endure is futile!"
Upon hearing this, Fairy Hua finally nodded heavily. Making this decision in such a short time was quite difficult for her.
Then, Fairy Hua simply waved her hand, and Xiao Yan vaguely sensed that the overall energy of the Flower Sect fluctuated with her action. This was definitely not the power that a Dou Sheng expert could unleash with a mere wave of their hand. Rather, it came from the great formation rooted within the Flower Sect, an indispensable defense for every top-tier power.
"I can use the Flower Sect's grand formation to imprison the invaders. Since we're going to take action, we should kill them all right here in the Flower Sect!" Having made up her mind, Fairy Hua showed no hesitation and went straight to the heart of the matter.
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Of course!"
Then Xiao Yan took out a green pill from his storage ring and put it into the mouth of the Demon Flower Evil Lord. As the medicine took effect, the injuries on the Demon Flower Evil Lord's body, which had been unconscious, began to heal at a visible speed.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan sneered and silently controlled the Demon Flower Evil Lord with his Heavenly Realm soul power.
