The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Fine, since you insist, I won't say more, lest I annoy you. Besides, I am a Heavenly Immortal of the fifth level, I have my own dignity," Sun Kuangjiang said with a laugh.

"Exactly, it's great to make friends. In the future, we can help each other out. If I turn out to be a cultivation genius, befriending me would be a huge gain for you," Tang Rao said.

"Alright, Immortal Monarch Tang!" Sun Kuangjiang said, rolling his eyes.

"Why don't you call me Immortal Emperor Tang?"

Sun Kuangjiang: "..."

...

Around the afternoon, He Kaoshan got in touch with Sun Kuangjiang.

The matter with Yijian Sect had been settled, and He Kaoshan had taken some disciples for an exchange visit.

Now, He Kaoshan was leading the people from Yijian Sect towards Kao Shan Sect? This kind of interaction was quite normal, especially during the period when sects were recruiting new members, so there was no issue at all.

Of course, according to Tang Rao's intentions, He Kaoshan had made this event quite significant.

They took a well-traveled road and did not rush at all, moving leisurely and even stopping for a drink.

In the evening, Sun Kuangjiang and his men, fully prepared, escorted those dozen or so people from Lingxiao Mountain to the forest around the route He Kaoshan must take.

By the time He Kaoshan arrived with the cultivators from Yijian Sect, it was already dark, and many things were becoming indistinct.

"Get ready!" In the woods, Tang Rao made a hand gesture.

A group of about fifteen people all put on black veils.

"Elder Sun, remember what I said, don't make any mistakes," Tang Rao whispered to Sun Kuangjiang beside him.

"Tang Rao, is this really okay? I haven't had time to notify the Sect Leader, could something unexpected happen?" Sun Kuangjiang said, right, Tang Rao had changed the plan at the last minute.

It wasn't exactly a change, just some adjustments.

"Don't inform them, informing them would not achieve the desired effect. What we need is this element of surprise, that is when the play is truly convincing. And in this way, it will also leave Yijian Sect with no way out," Tang Rao said.

"Mhm!" Sun Kuangjiang nodded, agreeing that Tang Rao's change in strategy was correct.

"Move!" The moment He Kaoshan appeared with his men, Tang Rao waved his hand.

About ten people burst out from the dense forest, moving quickly under the cover of night like phantoms.

"Attention, enemy attack!" He Kaoshan shouted loudly.

Boom, boom, boom!

As soon as He Kaoshan's words fell, the battle had already begun.

Immortal Power erupted, various weapons cried out, and murderous intent filled the air.

"Who goes there!" He Kaoshan roared.

"Kill!" Instead of answering He Kaoshan, the only response was a cold, harsh command.

Both parties clashed fiercely, with Sun Kuangjiang going straight for He Kaoshan; their speed was so fast that others could barely see them.

"Elder Sun, what's going on?" He Kaoshan, already sensing that something was unusual, asked.

"Sect Leader, let's return to the sect and then talk, fight!" Sun Kuangjiang muttered and then soared into the sky, disappearing with He Kaoshan from everyone's sight.

The battle progressed rapidly. There were six from Yijian Sect, and except for a Heavenly Immortal of the second level, the rest were all Earth Immortals.

After trapping that second-level Heavenly Immortal, the remaining people from Yijian Sect posed almost no threat.

"Prepare to switch!" In the dense forest, Tang Rao squinted his eyes. The next step was the most important one—switching the people.

Those cultivators from Lingxiao Mountain who had been killed would be replaced.

"So it's the people from Lingxiao Mountain, all of you go to hell!" In the air, He Kaoshan roared furiously, his light dazzlingly bright, almost blinding.

Seizing this opportunity, the cultivators from Kao Shan Sect quickly withdrew from the fight, then tossed out the bodies of those cultivators from Lingxiao Mountain.

Meanwhile, they also completed some strategic adjustments.

Two cultivators from the Yijian Sect were directly slain.

"Retreat!" Sun Kuangjiang shouted from above.

After the shout, the dazzling white light dissipated, leaving only four people from the Yijian Sect and a group from the Kao Shan Sect at the scene; the rest were corpses.

"Keshan!" A cultivator from the Yijian Sect, who was at the second level of Heavenly Immortal, shouted grievously as he rushed to the side of the two slain Yijian Sect cultivators.

He Kaoshan opened his mouth.

The situation at the scene was somewhat different from what had been agreed upon. Initially, it was agreed that the people from the Yijian Sect would kill the cultivators from Lingxiao Mountain, but now, two from the Yijian Sect were also dead.

It seems there was a last-minute change.

"Well done!" He Kaoshan sighed inwardly, realizing that killing two Yijian Sect cultivators was equivalent to forcibly pushing the Yijian Sect into a corner.

Moreover, among the two deceased Yijian Sect cultivators was Yang Keshan, the grandson of Yang Xiushen, and also the nephew of the Sect Leader of the Yijian Sect...

This just got interesting.

"Brother Yang, my condolences," He Kaoshan stepped forward and sighed.

Yang Xiushen suddenly got up, his eyes bloodshot as if he could eat someone.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The next moment, Yang Xiushen kicked several corpses of Lingxiao Mountain cultivators away, and several tokens fell.

"It's indeed Lingxiao Mountain! Damn trash! I, Yang Xiushen, will fight you to the death!" Yang Xiushen roared loudly, "Master He, let's call off this exchange. I need to return to the Yijian Sect now."

"Of course, and please tell the Sect Leader that if the Yijian Sect needs anything from our Kao Shan Sect, just say the word. Lingxiao Mountain has gone too far this time!" He Kaoshan said with a stern face, his killing intent intense.

"Alright!" Yang Xiushen nodded and then took the remaining people and the two corpses and left directly.

"Let's go, back to our sect!" He Kaoshan didn't waste more words and promptly led his people away.

...

"Tang Rao, well done! Absolutely splendid!" In the grand hall of the Kao Shan Sect, Sun Kuangjiang kept praising Tang Rao. Everything had gone incredibly smoothly, Tang Rao's strategies and calculations were nearly flawless.

Killing the two Yijian Sect cultivators was like a stroke of genius, undoubtedly, the Yijian Sect and the Lingxiao Mountain would definitely clash.

By then, the Kao Shan Sect would be able to move freely.

Everyone else also had smiles on their faces, giving Tang Rao a thumbs up.

"Ah, all these great figures praising me, I'm getting a bit embarrassed," Tang Rao said with a grin, unable to help it since he was naturally a youth who attracted all the limelight!

Come on, admire me, look up to me!

"Nonsense!" Suddenly, a scolding voice came.

At the entrance of the grand hall, He Kaoshan looked displeased.

Everyone shut their mouths, including Tang Rao.

Of course, Tang Rao did not only shut his mouth but also squinted his eyes. What did He Kaoshan mean by that?

"Was it your decision to kill the Yijian Sect cultivators?" He Kaoshan asked Tang Rao.

"It was me," Tang Rao nodded.

"Utterly reckless, do you know how serious this could be if something went wrong? Tang Rao, I admit you are extremely intelligent, but there are rules for many things. Since we had already established a plan previously, your arbitrary changes could potentially cause the whole situation to collapse, you understand?" He Kaoshan said.

Tang Rao: "..."

"From now on, you should not be involved in this matter anymore, go back to Earth Sect," He Kaoshan waved his hand.

"Sect Leader!" Sun Kuangjiang immediately stood up.

"Elder Sun, no need to say more!" He Kaoshan frowned.

"Fine, I'm leaving," Tang Rao pouted and turned to leave.

This He Kaoshan, really is something!
