Chapter 240 Xuanyuan Che
His long black robe fluttered in the wind, and the golden unicorn pattern embroidered on the hem was so lifelike that it seemed about to take off.
A simple, ancient longsword was slung across his back, its blade shrouded in mysterious runes and radiating a cold, profound light—clearly an extraordinary weapon.
He took a step forward and hovered in mid-air. His spiritual energy rippled out like water, and circles of pale golden light spread out from him, causing the surrounding air to hum slightly.
This seemingly casual step seemed to carry some kind of invisible power, which made everyone present feel a sense of awe.
Most of the scions from the other two prominent families looked on with awe.
"I am Xuanyuan Che from the Xuanyuan family. I'm sure you've all heard of my name to some extent."
Xuanyuan Che glanced around with a cold expression and continued speaking.
"Now that the third-tier Rakshasa has appeared, it is time for everyone to fight for the interests of their own families. Therefore, I propose that the three major families each choose a direction to collect fragments of the law, while the independent cultivators of each family should all concentrate on collecting in one direction!"
Xuanyuan Che's gaze swept over the other two families again, his words carrying an undeniable air of authority.
Upon hearing this, the crowd began to whisper among themselves.
The three major families recruited rogue cultivators on a large scale, partly to collect more fragments of laws, and partly to have these rogue cultivators scout out dangers for their own disciples in the secret realm.
After all, the secret realm is fraught with danger, and having more cannon fodder to test the waters will reduce the danger for our own disciples.
Everyone knew this unspoken thought, and even these rogue cultivators were aware of the dangers inside, but they had no choice but to risk entering for the sake of cultivation resources.
The fact that Xuan Yuanche proposed such a plan of action surprised the group of independent cultivators.
They initially thought they would be at the mercy of the powerful families' scions, used as cannon fodder. But now, being concentrated in one area seems to give them more opportunities!
However, Xuan Yuanche's motivation was not out of sympathy for these rogue cultivators, but rather because he had his own motives.
After all, if all the members of the three great families were to gather together, any rare and precious treasures that might appear would inevitably lead to a fight.
Their main task this time was to collect as many fragments of the laws as possible.
The fragments of the laws are crucial to enhancing the family's strength. To avoid premature conflict, Xuan Yuanche devised a plan to separate everyone for exploration.
The group of independent cultivators rubbed their hands excitedly, fantasizing about obtaining a great opportunity and soaring to great heights.
Kongming stood in a corner with Zhao Yun and Zhu Ganglie, a slight, almost imperceptible sneer playing on his lips.
Those without power or influence have always been manipulated by those in power, seemingly giving them more room to maneuver.
Su was unaware that this was the cruelest part.
The scattered cultivators are short of resources, have no sect or faction, and act independently. If even the slightest opportunity arises in the secret realm, it will surely lead to bloodshed.
Of course, it's understandable to vie for opportunities, so Kongming naturally wouldn't offer any kind advice.
He even had another guess in his mind.
Rumor has it that the Nascent Soul ancestor of the Xuanyuan family is nearing the end of his life and urgently needs fragments of laws to break through his bottleneck and prolong his lifespan.
All members of the Xuanyuan family are sword cultivators with astonishing combat power. As long as the Nascent Soul Ancestor does not pass away, the entire Xuanyuan clan will remain standing.
However, Xuan Yuanche's plan is intriguing. On the surface, there seems to be no problem, and it even greatly improves the efficiency of collecting law fragments.
But this is also the part that most made Kongming suspicious...
"Hmph! Why should my Ji family listen to your orders!"
A voice filled with arrogance and disdain rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the leader was a young man with a gloomy face, wearing a brocade robe embroidered with silver patterns and radiating a strange luster. He was Ji Wushuang from the Ji family.
Standing beside him was a woman whose face was veiled by a light gauze. Her figure was graceful, and the hem of her pale purple dress fluttered in the wind. Her bright eyes were partially hidden, and even if one could not see her face clearly, one could guess that she was an unparalleled beauty.
After Ji Wushuang finished speaking, he would occasionally glance at the woman beside him, his eyes full of smugness, yet also mixed with lewdness...
