Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System - Chapter 258: Conspiracy

Han Cai shook his head. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. The sect elder brought me here. I have something important to tell you.”

Yan Rui nodded, inviting Han Cai to continue.

“Not many people know, but our sect and country will be going to war against the White Tiger Sect and their allies,” Han Cai stated.

Yan Rui frowned. “Where did you hear this?”

“The elder told me. I expressed my concerns about the clan, so he sent me here with some guidance,” Han Cai explained.

Yan Rui asked, “What guidance does the elder have for us?”

At this, a woman in black appeared beside Han Cai.

“This is Fairy Black,” Han Cai introduced her. “She’s an Array Master who will create a Grand Defense Array around Yan City. When the war begins, ensure no clan members or important individuals leave Yan City. They’ll receive the necessary pills and supplies within the city. Try to attract people to Yan City with the promise of high-quality pills instead of selling them in other cities. The array is just precaution hopefully nothing will happen.”

Yan Rui, taken aback by the appearance of the beautiful woman in black. He rose and bowed to Fairy Black, who responded with a nod but remained silent.

After Han Cai finished explaining, Yan Rui nodded and said, “Please assure the elder that we will follow his guidance.”

Han Cai stood and replied, “I will leave with Fairy Black now. You’ll receive the control jade for the new array around Yan City. Make sure to warn the Core members to be careful.”

Having said that, Han Cai disappeared with Fairy Black.

For the next few days, Han Cai worked on creating a massive Grand Array that no one, even in the Azure Dragon Sect, should be able to break. He had no choice; moving this clan to another island wasn’t feasible due to their massive numbers. He didn’t want to take any risks. So this was the best he could do.

His rules were simple. It was none of his business if anyone suffered but he didn’t want others to suffer because of his actions. He was sure that no matter how careful he was, he would always make mistakes and get caught. He had to be prepared for such instances, taking into consideration his previous encounters, like the one with the man in blue.

After completing the new Defense Array and delivering the control jade to his Great-grandfather, Han Cai returned to the Azure Dragon Sect as if nothing had transpired. He left no traces, ensuring that his actions remained undetected. This way, he could better protect his clan, reinforcing their defenses in preparation for the war he’d been warned was imminent.

After returning to the sect, Han Cai resumed his normal life as if everything was the same as before. The guests visiting the sect had already left after the banquet. There was a tournament; despite being friendly, the disciples of the Azure Dragon sect came out on top.

Today, a meeting was taking place in the Shang Dynasty, with members from:

Jade Lotus Dynasty: Elder Jade Yufei and Elder Lotus Xiang

Lang Nation: Elder Lang Huizhong and Elder Lang Peizhi

Longyi Dynasty: Elder Longyi Jinhai and Elder Longyi Tianming

Shenwei Kingdom: Elder Shenwei Lixue and Elder Shenwei Yuting

The meeting was held between these allies of the Azure Dragon sect and two elders from the White Tiger Sect Elder Xue Liang and Elder Feng Baiyu.

Elder Huizhong of Lang nation began, “We appreciate your warning about the impending war, but we have been allies of the Azure Dragon sect for more than a millennium. We cannot simply switch sides in their time of need.”

Elder Xue Liang of the White Tiger sect responded, “We’re not asking you to do anything. We merely want to ensure that you understand the full details of what this war is about.”

The elder from the Longyi Dynasty queried, “Isn’t it about some ancient art in the Realm of a Thousand Blossoms?”

Elder Xue Liang nodded and replied, “That is indeed true, but do you know anything about the art and how the Azure Dragon sect is utilizing it?”

The elders from the allies of the Azure Dragon sect remained quiet.

Elder Xue Liang continued, “As you know, once we have understood the laws and our body is baptized by them, we transcend, and once transcended, we rarely return. However, once a Grandmaster Alchemist in ancient times returned because he had to stay in the mortal world for a longer time to comprehend the grand dao he was pursuing. During his stay in the mortal world, he had an epiphany about the Dao of Creation, which he taught to his disciples. One of his disciples, a Grandmaster Alchemist himself, used the teachings of the venerate and created an alchemy art where even a normal ginseng could be used to create a pill more potent than a hundred-year-old ginseng.”

Elder Yuting of Shenwei Kingdom countered, “But there is no proof that the Azure Dragon sect possesses this art.”

Elder Feng of the White Tiger sect responded, “Indeed there is! If you wish, you can try to bribe the Outer sect elders and easily ascertain the truth. Recently, the Azure Dragon sect has opened a new Spirit Pill branch in the Outer sect. This branch appears normal, but all the pills they create are sent to the Inner sect and none of the Inner sect gets to consume them either. After some effort, we were able to get our hands on a few pills. You can check them yourself; these pills are not created using a simple method but the ancient art. The Azure Dragon sect already possesses this art. As you know we had an agreement that if ancient arts or treasures were found in the Thousand Blossoms realm, they would disclosed and shared with everyone. They violated the agreement and did not even inform their allies about this art. If you choose to support them, that is fine. With such pills, they will have a significant advantage in the war against us and they might win. Once they win with this art, where they could use ordinary grass to create Immortal pills, they will become unstoppable. They would compete Vermillion Phoenix sect and get their Immortals access to the Transcendent World while we will suffer. If you decide to help our sect, we are prepared to sign a law binding that clearly shows we will share the secret pill art with your sects as well. This will enhance your sects’ strength and free you from the Azure Dragon sect’s suppression.”
