The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 420: Using Oneself as Bait

“You mean, you want to use yourself as bait to lure the Six Heavenly Generals to attack you?”

In Shen Yifeng’s courtyard.

After hearing Su Jingzhen’s thoughts, Shen Yifeng’s brows furrowed immediately.

Su Jingzhen smirked, “It’s not exactly courting danger, is it? After all, with Master here watching over me, even if the Six Heavenly Generals attack together, I should be perfectly safe, right?”

Su Jingzhen naturally had immense confidence in Shen Yifeng.

But his confidence stemmed more from the white python transformed into the belt around his waist.

He estimated that the Six Heavenly Generals were roughly as strong as Yin, who had just died. That is to say, they were around the Nascent Soul mid-stage.

It was highly unlikely that any of them had reached the Soul Formation stage.

Even Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators would be rare.

He knew more about the Second Elder and his Six Heavenly Generals than Su Jingzhen did.

He also knew that the Second Elder wasn’t particularly magnanimous.

His subordinates were the same.

Moreover, the Six Heavenly Generals were a close-knit group.

Now that Yin was dead, and they knew he had died on the way while targeting Su Jingzhen, they would naturally hold a grudge against Su Jingzhen and the Linjiang Branch.

In fact, the moment Shen Yifeng realized it was Yin who had attacked Su Jingzhen, he knew this wouldn’t be the end.

He had already made up his mind to eliminate the Six Heavenly Generals in Linjiang City.

The only problem was that if it were just him, finding those people would be difficult.

But if Su Jingzhen were used as bait, things might be different.

“Have you discussed this with Yuebai?”

If Su Jingzhen were only Shen Yifeng’s disciple, he would naturally agree more readily.

But now, he was not only the Chief Acolyte of the Linjiang Branch but also Luo Yuebai’s man.

Therefore, when making decisions, Shen Yifeng subconsciously didn’t want to put Su Jingzhen in too much danger.

Su Jingzhen smiled, “If I discussed it with her, she would probably object. Even though Yuebai is a Saintess and might have killed countless people in the past, she’s still a woman with a heart.”

In Su Jingzhen’s view, no matter how strong a woman was, once she had someone she cared about, her actions wouldn’t be as carefree as before.

He had to admit that this plan did carry a certain amount of risk.

Even if Luo Yuebai agreed, he didn’t want to worry her.

“With just the two of us we can probably act more freely. Master, you wouldn’t be afraid to take a risk with me, would you?”

Su Jingzhen used a blatant provocation.

Shen Yifeng raised his eyebrows again, “You don’t need to provoke me. This plan is worth a try, but even if it succeeds, it’s unlikely we can eliminate all the Six Heavenly Generals. Let’s give it a shot.

Choose one from your list, and from now on, I will completely become a ghost. Even if they suspect my cultivation level, I have to hide it as much as possible, otherwise, they’ll easily discover me.”

Although Shen Yifeng was unmatched in combat strength, his cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul mid-stage.

Many techniques were limited by his cultivation level.

Among the Six Heavenly Generals, purely in terms of cultivation, several might be stronger than Shen Yifeng, reaching the Nascent Soul late-stage.

However, in terms of combat effectiveness, Shen Yifeng could crush them all.

Neither the master nor the disciple were the type of people who would fuss around. Having made their decision, they left Shen Yifeng’s yard directly.

Su Jingzhen still trusted the information gathered by the Shadow Hall.

There were fifteen suspicious individuals in total.

Even if Six Heavenly Generals are really among these fifteen people, there are still ten of them who are not the target persons.

He had to try one by one.

Su Jingzhen left the Linjiang Branch openly and headed towards the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

The Treasure Gathering Pavilion was always the place with the highest concentration of cultivators.

As soon as he entered the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, he would likely attract the attention of those who were interested.

“Master’s hiding methods are indeed quite powerful. He truly seems to be completely invisible.”

As soon as he stepped out of the Evil Moon Sect Linjiang Branch, Su Jingzhen curiously probed his surroundings.

Even with his divine consciousness fully open, he couldn’t detect the slightest trace of Shen Yifeng.

He could only sigh in admiration at his master’s composure.

Then, as usual, he headed towards the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, greeting everyone he knew along the way with warmth.

Su Jingzhen responded with a smile, just as always.

In no time, he arrived at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, which was even more bustling than usual.

The first floor hall was packed with more people than ever before.

“Looks like this Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Linjiang City needs to expand soon.”

The recent major events in Linjiang City had increased its popularity significantly.

Many cultivators came to visit, and some who saw the potential here even settled down.

“It’s been a few days since I last took a good look at Linjiang City’s construction.

The Alchemist Association built a branch ten miles away, so I imagine the land between the city center and the Alchemist Association will soon be developed and claimed by various factions.”

Looking at the terrifying crowd at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but sigh again.

But he didn’t linger.

He quickly ascended to the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion amidst envious gazes.

“Master Su, long time no see. You seem to be quite busy these days.”

As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, Feng Qingya was already seated there.

She wore the same cool attire as always, holding a crystal cup and gently swirling it.

Her demeanor was as alluring as ever.

Su Jingzhen smiled at her, feeling no awkwardness, and sat down in the chair opposite her.

He had been quite high-profile today, and with the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s resources, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to know his whereabouts.

“As the saying goes, a day apart is like three autumns. By that reckoning, it has indeed been a while.”

He said with a smile after settling down.

However, as soon as his words fell, a line of golden characters appeared before his eyes.

?Emotional Connection +9?

?Remaining Points: 943?

Su Jingzhen was surprised. He had only made a joke, but he hadn’t expected it to directly trigger Feng Qingya’s empathy points.

Before Su Jingzhen could say anything more, Feng Qingya spoke again: “Master Su, you came here this time to ask about the Divine Map of the Soul Refining, right?”

“I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint Master Su. The Divine Map has made some progress, but it will take some time to reach Linjiang City.”

There was a hint of apology in Feng Qingya’s tone as she spoke.

Su Jingzhen nodded in response: “It’s not urgent.

This time, I am not here for anything in particular, nor I am here specifically for the Divine Diagram. It’s just as Miss Feng said, it’s been some time since we last met, and I missed you.”

He said this with a bit of insincerity.

He had to admit that this was a subconscious desire to fleece Feng Qingya for some points.

Feng Qingya’s lips curled into a beautiful arc.

She continued to sway the crystal goblet in her hand, leaning back in her chair, revealing a large expanse of white skin.

“Master Su has done our Feng family a great favor, and Qingya even more so.

Therefore, as long as Master Su wants anything or has any requests for Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Qingya will do her best to fulfill them.”

Feng Qingya subconsciously assumed that Su Jingzhen’s words were again a veiled request.

Su Jingzhen smiled helplessly: “Why doesn’t Miss Feng believe me?

Can’t I just come over to see Miss Feng and take a stroll around when I have nothing to do?”

After a pause, Su Jingzhen suddenly remembered something.

He smiled again and said: “By the way, there’s something I might as well tell Miss Feng.

My Evil Moon Sect’s Dan Hall will probably produce a large batch of pills these days. I will arrange for someone to come directly to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion to trade.

Miss Feng can just buy at the normal market price, there’s no need to offer a premium just because of me.”

Su Jingzhen knew that the group of alchemists in the strange land would probably not come out until they had used up all the medicinal materials they had brought with them.

And when they came out, there would inevitably be a large batch of pills produced.

Su Jingzhen was very confident in the pill trade.

?Emotional Connection +9?

?Emotional Connection +9?

?Remaining Points: 961?

Su Jingzhen felt a pang of amusement.

Sure enough, to fleece Feng Qingya for points, he had to talk business with her.

He should approach her as a pure businessman.

After spending another half hour with Feng Qingya, Su Jingzhen prepared to leave.

He didn’t forget what he was here for.

It seemed like time was about up. He had been discreetly targeted, and the preparations were probably already in place.

It was time to get down to business.

Seeing Su Jingzhen about to leave, Feng Qingya put down her cup.

“Master Su, why don’t I have Elder Mu send you back?

Although you have a high standing within the Evil Moon Sect, Linjiang City has been quite turbulent lately.

There might be quite a few cultivators targeting you.”

In front of Su Jingzhen, Feng Qingya spoke directly.

Of course, there was also genuine concern in her words.

Su Jingzhen immediately refused, “There’s no need for that. I still have some confidence in myself within Linjiang City.

No need to trouble Elder Mu.”

He had come here as bait this time. If he brought Elder Mu along, those ‘assassins’ wouldn’t dare to show themselves.

With that, Su Jingzhen headed straight downstairs.

Watching his departing figure, Feng Qingya frowned slightly, “Master Su is becoming more and more mysterious.

He’s no longer like that naive newcomer we first met.”

Feng Qingya muttered to herself.

She felt that the more she interacted with Su Jingzhen, the harder it was for her to take the initiative.

On the other hand, as soon as Su Jingzhen went downstairs, he encountered a tall, familiar figure at the corner of the stairs.

It was Bai Susu…
