Sun and Moon Are Wrong: Traveling Through Time from Under One Person

Chapter 329 The Key to Gaming

After leaving the mass grave, Meng Ning immediately rushed to Baotian Temple. As soon as he arrived at the main hall entrance, he saw Duobao Taoist standing with his hands behind his back.

"Are you here?" Taoist Duobao turned around and said, "Master has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Master, please forgive me for being late." Meng Ning bowed respectfully.

Taoist Duobao smiled and said, "Since you are already my disciple, I should give you a gift as a disciple."

Before he finished his words, a purple cassock flew out from Taoist Duobao and landed on Meng Ning.

The cassock was shrouded in golden threads, emitting a faint glow.

"This is the purple cloud gold and blue cassock, a beloved item of my master."

There was a hint of pride in Taoist Duobao's tone.

Meng Ning knew that this was a surveillance device placed on him by Duobao, but he showed excitement on his face.

He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly until his forehead was bleeding.

"Master!"

Meng Ning's voice choked with sobs, "I grew up in the Three True Dharma Sect, and I have never seen such a treasure.

Master has treated me so well, I have no way to repay you!"

As he spoke, he picked up the cassock and with trembling hands tried to return it to Taoist Duobao.

"I swear to complete a great task for Master. Otherwise, accepting this great gift would be disrespectful to Master!"

Taoist Duobao was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Good! Good! I am very pleased that you have such a thoughtful thought."

He put away his cassock, and a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes: "In this case, I have something to teach you."

"Master, please speak."

"Since you have learned from the Blue Bird Sect that our Baotian Academy will join forces with the Jiujie Sect to reap Yangzhou City." Duobao Taoist said calmly, "The master wants you to do something."

Meng Ning was delighted, but his expression remained calm: "My disciple has no choice but to accept my request!"

"very good."

Taoist Duobao nodded with satisfaction.

"My deal with the Nine Realms Sect is that we will join forces to reap Yangzhou City during the Thousand Lantern Festival. I, the Baotianyuan, will take his soul, and the Nine Realms Sect will take his body."

"The Nine Realms Sect only wants corpses?"

Meng Ning pretended to be confused.

"Master, this seems a little strange. Even if it is for refining treasures, so many corpses are not needed. Could it be..."

"Oh?"

"Are you trying to say that the Nine Realms Gate is the base camp of the undead?"

Taoist Duobao sneered.

"I dare not jump to conclusions, I am just guessing."

"You guessed it right."

A cold light flashed in Taoist Duobao's eyes.

"The Nine Realms Gate is indeed related to the Undead Corpse. This is something that I have already noticed."

Meng Ning was shocked. He didn't expect that Taoist Duobao would directly admit this.

"Using corpses to refine treasures, our Baotian Academy is second to none in this world. No one dares to claim to be first. Even if it is me, I don't need so many corpses to refine corpse treasures."

Taoist Duobao paced with his hands behind his back, "The Nine Realms Sect's move is definitely not to refine treasures, but to turn all the people in the city into undead evil corpses."

"Master is wise."

Meng Ning said respectfully.

"But this is not the most important thing." Taoist Duobao stopped.

"The transformation of undead corpses requires a specific time. The Nine Realms Gate must send down the Dream of All Industries in advance. Moreover, if the people are to be transformed into an army of evil corpses, they cannot be transformed without souls."

Meng Ning was shocked. He didn't expect that Duobao had already understood the true purpose of the Nine Realms Sect.

"Master, do you mean that the Nine Realms Sect is ready to turn against us?"

"Hahaha!"

Taoist Duobao laughed, "Meng Ning, you are indeed the most pleasing disciple I have ever received in my life. That's right, the ambition of the Nine Realms Sect is far more than just these corpses."

"They want souls too?"

"You underestimate the appetite of the Nine Realms Sect."

Taoist Duobao's eyes flashed coldly, "They have set their sights on Yangzhou City. I'm afraid they have already taken the entire Baotian Temple as their own."

Meng Ning took a breath of cold air.

"You have just entered the Dharma Seeking Realm and are not familiar with the ways of the Nine Realms Sect."

Taoist Duobao said in a grim tone, "Since the beginning of records, the number of methods that have been swallowed up by them is already countless.

In their eyes, my Baotianyuan is just another piece of fat meat."

"Master, how should we deal with this?"

"The master has his own plans." Taoist Duobao raised a strange smile, "Just listen to the master's arrangements."

"To seek the skin of a tiger is not enough to describe the danger of cooperating with the Nine Realms Sect."

"However, since they dare to come to our home ground of Baotianyuan, they should be prepared to be counterattacked."

Meng Ning was shocked. He didn't expect that Baotianyuan had already seen through the ambitions of Jiujiemen.

It seems that the game between these two major forces is far more complicated than he imagined.

"How is Master going to deal with this?"

"My master's magical power is related to the way of souls, and I am most sensitive to matters in this area."

Taoist Duobao's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, "Also, I learned from an insider that there is another reason why the Nine Realms Sect has not taken action yet."

"what reason?"

"They are spreading the dream of all industries, but they are missing a key opportunity."

Taoist Duobao paced with his hands behind his back, "Although I don't know what this opportunity is for now, I can be sure that the Nine Realms Sect has planted a very critical undead corpse in Yangzhou City."

"Hidden piece?"

"Yes, this person has existed since my Baotian Academy settled in Yangzhou City, at least a thousand years ago."

Taoist Duobao narrowed his eyes. "This person knows all the secrets of Yangzhou City. If Jiujiemen wants to successfully implement its plan, it must rely on the power of this hidden player."

Meng Ning thought thoughtfully: "Why hasn't the Nine Realms Sect taken any action yet?"

"What's interesting is that from the ugly faces of the people from the Nine Realms Gate recently, I can see that their plan seems to have run into trouble, and may even be cancelled."

Taoist Duobao smiled, "It seems that there is a big conflict between this hidden player and the Nine Realms Sect. Even the old dog Fen Dao Ke, the leader of the Nine Realms Sect, can't do anything to him."

Taoist Duobao suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, did Lu Dahai ask you to come to Yangzhou City to find a mysterious evil corpse that harms people?"

Meng Ning was stunned: "How did Master know?"

"Haha, that evil corpse is most likely a spy of the Nine Realms Sect."

"Why do you say that?"

"It's simple, because this undead corpse was able to escape from my pursuit."

Taoist Duobao said with a hint of admiration, “It’s no wonder that even that old dog Fen Dao Ke couldn’t do anything to him.

He is probably the only person in the entire Yangzhou City who could escape unscathed from the pursuit of two powerful masters."

"Master, what you mean is that this hidden player has escaped the control of the Nine Realms Sect?" Meng Ning asked tentatively.

"good."

Taoist Duobao nodded, "And I suspect that this hidden player may have some secrets of the Nine Realms Sect. Otherwise, Taoist Fen would not be so wary."

Meng Ning's mind moved: "So Master wants..."

"That's right, Master wants you to find this hidden chess piece."

Taoist Duobao's eyes were burning. "But it's not to get rid of him, but to have a talk with him."

"negotiation?"

"You can say that."

Taoist Duobao smiled and said, "Master, I believe that he would not want to see the Nine Realms Sect succeed. Perhaps, we can reach some kind of cooperation."

Meng Ning was silent for a moment: "But Master, even you can't find this hidden man, how can I find him?"

"Haha, that's your business. I believe in you and I also believe in Lu Dahai's vision."

"Lu Dahai?" Meng Ning frowned slightly, "Why does Master think so highly of a mortal?"

"Don't you understand yet?"

Taoist Duobao chuckled, "Although that old guy is a mortal, he has been working in Jiangnan for decades. His vision is sometimes more accurate than that of us practitioners."

Meng Ning was thoughtful. Lu Dahai was indeed not a simple man. He was able to gain a foothold in Jiangnan where demons were rampant, and he also established a huge intelligence network. This ability should not be underestimated.

"To be honest, when it comes to judging people, even I, the master, dare not say that I am better than him."

Taoist Duobao showed a rare bit of humility, "Since he is willing to bet on you, I am willing to follow suit."

As soon as the subject was changed, Duobao Taoist's expression turned cold.

"But you have to understand. I accepted you as my disciple because I saw your potential. If you can't do something that I can't do, then what's the use of you?"

Meng Ning's heart trembled. This new master spoke frankly, but he also told the truth. If you want to gain a foothold in Baotianyuan, you can't just flatter.

"The disciple understands."

"Go ahead." Taoist Duobao waved his hand, "Remember, I want that undead corpse alive."
