Chapter 2033 - 2033 2023 The Embryo of the Plan

2033: Chapter 2023: The Embryo of the Plan 2033: Chapter 2023: The Embryo of the Plan “No problem.”

Long Yan sized up the Identity Token and then promptly tucked it away.

“Good luck, may you complete your task soon.”

The Ghostly Demon Princess said.

Once Long Yan completed the task, she could obtain that thing from him, and likewise, her own purpose would be achieved, to go back and report to the Holy King.

“It all depends on how much useful information you can provide.”

Long Yan spoke.

The Ghostly Demon Princess glanced back, then flew away.

“I don’t seem to have agreed to cooperate with you, yes, I haven’t agreed!”

Watching the Ghostly Demon Princess’s retreating figure, Long Yan sneered and then entered the Main Hall to begin his cultivation.

Enforcement Hall, in the Great Hall.

“Damn it, they all should die!”

The Law Enforcement Hall Master was furious, so angry he felt like his lungs could explode.

Were it not for the interference of Yu Luoqi, Long Yan would have already been dead without a complete corpse.

He, as the mighty Law Enforcement Hall Master, couldn’t even avenge his son’s death- it was utterly disgraceful.

“Law Hall Master, what happened today was an accident, nobody could have predicted Yu Luoqi’s intervention.”

The atmosphere around Lan Feng was grim too.

Long Yan belonged to Yu Luoqi, and her sudden intervention foiled his plans too.

“That damned Yu Luoqi, how did her cultivation reach the Seventh Level of the God King so suddenly?”

The Law Enforcement Hall Master’s rage intensified at the mention of Yu Luoqi.

“I’m afraid that has something to do with Meng Shentong.”

Lan Feng speculated.

“No, Yu Luoqi has always remained neutral.

If she were to favor Meng Shentong, we would have definitely received some news.”

The Law Enforcement Hall Master said.

At least for now, there was no sign of Yu Luoqi aligning with Meng Shentong.

“Law Hall Master, what’s your plan?

Are we just going to let this go?”

Lan Feng asked the Law Enforcement Hall Master.

“Absolutely not!”

The Law Enforcement Hall Master said through gritted teeth, “I will make Long Yan die without a complete corpse and I will make Yu Luoqi join my son in death!”

Now, he bore a grudge against Yu Luoqi too.

If it hadn’t been for her taking Long Yan into the Blood Shadow Main Hall, his son Wang Bin would not be dead.

“What are you planning to do?”

Lan Feng inquired.

The Law Enforcement Hall Master pondered, then replied after a moment, “We can’t act rashly for now.

Yu Luoqi’s breakthrough to the Seventh Level of the God King is of no small matter.

She’s currently neutral, but if we push her into desperation and she sides with Meng Shentong, it would be greatly disadvantageous to us.”

The balance between the two factions was delicate, and if Meng Shentong’s faction gained another God King Level 7, the Supreme Elder faction would be suppressed.

For now, they couldn’t afford to offend Yu Luoqi.

“Indeed.”

Lan Feng nodded slightly, also recognizing the gravity of the situation.

“Let’s find an opportunity to silence Long Yan without anyone noticing.”

The Law Enforcement Hall Master declared.

Yu Luoqi couldn’t possibly watch over Long Yan forever.

As long as there was a chance, they could eliminate Long Yan in the shadows without her discovering.

“I’ll arrange this.”

Lan Feng said.

He still had ways up his sleeve to deal with Long Yan.

Nightfall descended, and the night engulfed the firmament.

Suddenly, Long Yan sensed two presences approaching and stopped cultivating.

“Come in and talk.”

Long Yan’s voice emanated from the Great Hall.

Afterward, Meng Qianning and Wang Wenjun entered the Main hall.

“Thank you both for helping me out today.”

Long Yan said to Meng Qianning and Wang Wenjun.

“We didn’t do much.

It was Elder Yu who really got you out of trouble.”

Meng Qianning said with a smile, “Who would have thought you were someone Elder Yu took interest in?

Elder Yu has always had high standards, and only a genius like you could gain her favor.”

Of course, that was a compliment.

Long Yan just smiled and didn’t say anything.

“Long Yan, if I may ask bluntly, what is your relationship with Qin Qiu?”

Meng Qianning looked at Long Yan earnestly.

This question was very important to her.

“Let’s say we’re friends.

You sent people to kill him, I saved his life, and he helped me get into the Blood Shadow Sect.

We’re just acquaintances, really.”

Long Yan told the truth.

“He told me about the grievances between you two.”

To be precise, he and Qin Qiu had a transactional relationship that could barely be called a friendship.

“The grievances between me and Qin Qiu can’t be explained in just a few words.

I have my reasons for wanting him dead, and he has his for seeking vengeance against me.

The issues between us will eventually be resolved.

What do you think?”

Meng Qianning said and was also inquiring about Long Yan’s stance.

Since Long Yan knew about her and Qin Qiu’s grievances, there was no point in deliberately hiding it.

“I can’t interfere in your sect’s affairs.

I won’t get involved.

However…”

As he spoke, Long Yan glanced at Wang Wenjun.

“However, the thing I detest the most is betrayal.”

Although Wang Wenjun had helped him, Long Yan still looked down on him deep inside.

Qin Qiu treated Wang Wenjun as a brother, yet Wang Wenjun betrayed that brotherly bond.

Wang Wenjun’s expression changed slightly.

He moved his mouth but ultimately didn’t say anything.

“Long Yan, do you think we can become friends?”

Meng Qianning asked Long Yan.

Her intent was clear; she wanted to win over Long Yan.

At this time, it was even more urgent for Meng Qianning to draw Long Yan to her side.

Long Yan was someone Yu Luoqi took notice of.

Yu Luoqi always remained neutral within the Blood Shadow Sect; pulling Long Yan into the Sect Master’s faction would be akin to drawing Yu Luoqi to their side as well—it was a two-for-one deal.

“You’re the young lady of the Blood Shadow Sect.

How could I be qualified to be your friend?”

Long Yan laughed.

He was well aware of Meng Qianning’s intentions, but winning him over wouldn’t be that simple.

“Are you looking down on me?”

Meng Qianning asked.

“Not at all.

The disparity between our statuses is far too great.

I wouldn’t dare to presume.

I just wish to cultivate peacefully and avoid trouble.”

Long Yan said calmly, with an underlying meaning.

Meng Qianning was a dangerous and cunning person.

Being friends with someone like her would require caution.

Otherwise, one might end up tricked and counting money on the seller’s behalf, which wouldn’t be fun at all.

“Long Yan, let me be frank with you.

You should be aware of the situation within the Blood Shadow Sect.

I want you to join the Sect Master’s camp.”

Meng Qianning pondered for a moment before dropping all pretense and speaking directly.

“This…

I haven’t considered it.”

Long Yan hesitated deliberately.

His mind had already formed the outline of a plan, and he certainly couldn’t outright refuse Meng Qianning’s attempt to win him over.

“It’s not too late to consider it now.”

Meng Qianning, upon hearing this, promptly said, “The Law Enforcement Hall Master is from the Supreme Elder’s camp.

You killed his son, Wang Bin, and he won’t let it go easily.

If you join the Sect Master’s camp, he won’t dare to target you openly.

If you join the Supreme Elder’s camp, it would be like walking into a trap.”

Even a fool could understand these stakes.

Long Yan’s only choice was to join the Sect Master’s camp!
