Chapter 60 Conspiracy (Part 2)
Even Cao Xiong wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Not to mention him, not even the entire Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect would dare to offend Li Shuangyan. Offending Li Shuangyan would be tantamount to offending the entire Nine Saints Demon Sect and offending the Nine Saints. A behemoth like the Demon Sect is seeking death!
"Damn it!" Cao Xiong couldn't help but cursed. His genius disciple was even looked down upon by Li Shuangyan. However, it was crazy that a loser like Li Qiye could be favored by Li Shuangyan.
The only explanation for such a thing is that Li Qiye is a spy of the Nine Saint Demon Sect. However, this explanation is even more ridiculous. It is even more unreliable than Li Shuangyan favoring Li Qiye.
If the Nine Saints Demon Sect sends such a mortal disciple to break into the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, it would be like hell. What’s even worse is that if Li Qiye is a spy, he is the most unqualified spy. , Who has seen such an arrogant spy?
Even Cao Xiong himself didn't believe that Li Qiye was a spy of the Nine Saint Demon Sect. It was just a means to attack Li Qiye!
Since Li Qiye is not a spy of the Nine Saint Demon Sect, why does Li Shuangyan favor Li Qiye so much? Is it really because of the marriage agreement between the two families? Or maybe Li Shuangyan really likes Li Qiye?
Such a question made Cao Xiong think about it and couldn't figure it out. Cao Xiong's face turned extremely ugly. Finally, he walked away to a place in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect.
On one of the main peaks of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, this is the place where the essence of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect is most concentrated. However, today, the people living in the main hall of this main peak are not the elders of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. , let alone the protector of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, but Dong Shenglong, the guest minister of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect!
Guest Minister, such seats are available in many sects and even in many foreign countries. As a guest minister of a sect or a country, you usually enjoy the tribute of the sect or country, and do not interfere with the affairs of the sect. Only when the sect and the country are in trouble Only then will we help!
Dong Shenglong is the guest of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, and he is also the only guest of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect!
Within the ancient palace, the aura of the prince was like mercury leaking to the ground, pervasive, making outsiders afraid to approach! In the ancient palace, an old man in green clothes is majestic. He exhales the terrifying aura of a prince. There is no doubt that he is a powerful prince, a senior prince!
Dong Shenglong, the guest minister of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, is a prince so powerful that it makes people blush. His moral conduct is stronger than the six elders of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect.
At this time, Dong Shenglong and Cao Xiong were drinking at the same table. Although they were at the same table, Cao Xiong seemed cautious and respectful.
"Brother Cao has been impetuous recently." Dong Shenglong drank wine for Cao Xiong. As a generation of princes, he seemed to be approachable, but his unfathomable eyes were filled with a cold light that chose and devoured others!
Cao Xiong drank the wine in silence and didn't speak for a while. Of course he came here with a promise, but he didn't want to speak first. He was just waiting for Dong Shenglong to announce the price.
"Brother Cao is sharing the worries for the head?" Dong Shenglong was still drinking for Cao Xiong, with a smile on his face, but the coldness in his eyes was very scary.
Although Dong Shenglong is a guest minister of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, in fact, he himself has an astonishing background. Dong Shenglong's title of prince is not what he claims to be. His position of prince was conferred by the Supreme Treasure Holy Kingdom.
Dong Shenglong himself was born into a noble family of Baosheng Shangguo. His family has an intricate relationship with the Shengtian Sect, which is in charge of Baosheng Shangguo. It can even be called a branch of Shengtian Sect.
The family that Dong Shenglong came from is not weak in strength, and is much stronger than the current Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect!
Dong Shenglong came to the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect as a guest. Of course, he was not invited by the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. Are you kidding me, the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect and the Shengtian Sect can be said to be enemies!
Thirty thousand years ago, the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect declined, and the Shengtian Sect launched an offensive against the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. Not only did the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect lose the ancient country it had been in charge of for countless generations, but also all the Supreme Leaders of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect at that time Almost all the elders were killed in this battle!
After this battle, the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect was in ruins, and the Shengtian Sect established the Precious Holy Kingdom on top of the ancient country that the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect collapsed!
Dong Shenglong was an aristocrat of Baosheng Kingdom, and he was granted the title of prince by Baosheng Kingdom. How could the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect invite him to be a guest minister? He was a guest minister appointed by the Human Emperor of Baosheng Kingdom.
For a guest like Dong Shenglong, the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect could not refuse. Today's Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect can no longer compete with the powerful Shengtian Sect and the Supreme Treasure Holy Kingdom. The sect could only enshrine him in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect like a god.
Dong Shenglong is a guest minister in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. He has his own mission. Therefore, his days as a guest minister in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect are still very low-key. Apart from practicing, he rarely goes out and does not interfere with the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. Therefore, the guest minister Dong Shenglong made many protectors and elders of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect less repulsive.
As an elder of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, Cao Xiong had an enemy against Dong Shenglong like many of the guardian elders in the past. However, Cao Xiong also had some dissatisfaction in his heart. He had always had ambitions for the position of leader.
In those days, the inheritance of the position of head was sorted by status. When taking the position of head, he would either pass the position of head to the great elder, or pass it to him!
However, later, Emperor Su Yong was killed inexplicably, causing him to lose his position as the leader! After all these years, Cao Xiong has no hope of ascending to the position of leader. He places his hope on his apprentice He Yingjian.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Xiong wanted to make his apprentice He Yingjian the chief disciple several times, but the progress was not very smooth.
Such a result made Cao Xiong depressed and unhappy, and his ambition was hard to achieve. Under such circumstances, Dong Shenglong deliberately showed his kindness. Unknowingly, Cao Xiong got very close to Dong Shenglong, and his hostility towards Dong Shenglong also disappeared a lot.
Later, Dong Shenglong hinted several times that he and his backers could help him ascend to the position of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect!
It's strange that Cao Xiong isn't tempted by Dong Shenglong's wooing! Cao Xiong also knew the terrifying backer behind Dong Shenglong! But Cao Xiong also knows what Dong Shenglong wants!
If he truly surrenders to Dong Shenglong, Cao Xiong knows that it will not be difficult for him to ascend to the position of leader. The problem is that once he surrenders to Dong Shenglong, he must pay something. Dong Shenglong and the Baosheng Kingdom behind him are not so easy to get rid of. The transaction involved betrayal of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect and the ancestors of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect.
Although Cao Xiong has ambitions for the position of leader and is still tempted by Dong Shenglong's wooing, as an elder of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect and a native disciple of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, he still cannot cross the bottom line in his heart. After all, For him, betraying the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect and his ancestors is something that needs to be condemned by his conscience!
Of course, Dong Shenglong is not in a hurry. The Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect has declined, and the items of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect will one day fall into his hands. He has enough patience. Of course, it would be better if Cao Xiong could take refuge in him.
Regarding Dong Shenglong's words, Cao Xiong drank wine and did not respond, while Dong Shenglong just smiled, not smiling at all.
"The master is away from home, so you don't need me to share your worries." Finally, Cao Xiong put down the wine glass in his hand and said.
Dong Shenglong smiled and said, "Brother Cao is the elder of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. He has dedicated his life and blood for the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. I admire him. As an elder of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, Brother Cao should also be responsible for It’s important to look at the current situation of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect clearly.”
Cao Xiong came here just waiting for Dong Shenglong's words. He looked at Dong Shenglong and said this: "I am stupid, please give me some advice from Brother Dong."
Dong Shenglong smiled, but he said: "Brother Cao, although the Nine Saints Demon Sect is said to be for the marriage of the two sects, has Brother Cao ever thought that they are probably here for the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect? Something is coming.”
"Maybe." Cao Xiong didn't answer directly. In fact, he knew it in his heart.
Dong Shenglong is not afraid of Cao Xiong's gestures. What he is afraid of is that the fish will not eat the bait. As long as the fish eat the bait, everything will be easy. Is he still afraid that Cao Xiong will not be tempted?
"Brother Cao, have you ever thought about it? The fact is that the one who can ultimately protect the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect is the Kingdom of the Treasure Saint. The Nine Saint Demon Sect is far away, and they just want their things. As for the life and death of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, , I'm afraid they don't care at all." Dong Shenglong said sincerely.
"The marriage between the two factions is not necessarily a bad thing." Cao Xiong still said slowly.
Dong Shenglong smiled and said meaningfully: "Of course, from my personal standpoint, I don't mind the marriage between your two factions. This is a happy event and should be regarded as congratulations. If the two factions really get married, in my opinion, Brother Cao's If the student He Yingjian can marry Princess Li, it will be even more perfect."
"It's a pity that my disciple is not the chief disciple!" Cao Xiong said slowly at this time.
"Marriage doesn't necessarily require the chief disciple, right?" The fish bit the hook. Dong Shenglong smiled. Cao Xiong could not escape from his grasp after all. He was full of confidence and said to Cao Xiong with a smile: "Although, There is an engagement between the two sects, but what if something happens to the chief disciple, or what serious crime has your chief disciple of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect committed?"
"Brother Dong, what do you say?" Cao Xiong said with a focused gaze.
Dong Shenglong said with a smile: "Brother Cao, some people who have achieved some achievements are arrogant and take credit for their achievements. Then they make the following mistakes and do things that violate the rules of the sect? Brother Cao, don't you think so? For example, you guys from the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect Chief Disciple Li Qiye, he has really committed a crime, and the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect should report it to the Duke for punishment. If such a black sheep is not dealt with, it will be detrimental to the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect."
Cao Xiong's eyes narrowed, but he didn't speak for a long time.
Dong Shenglong also looked at Cao Xiong, and finally, he slowly said: "Brother Cao, since you will think of me when you are in trouble, of course I will hurt you. If Brother Cao has any idea, just do it. If the sky falls, this Isn’t there a younger brother who shares Brother Cao’s worries?”
"Brother Dong is so kind to me, Cao thanked him." Finally, Cao Xiong stood up and said with a fist in his hand.
After Cao Xiong left, Dong Shenglong smiled and finally said slowly: "As long as you get on this boat, I'm afraid you won't betray the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. Cao Xiong, Cao Xiong, it seems you want to fight with the ancient leader , you must still ask for it from me!"
