Chapter 872 Mastering
Seeing Zhuge Cang speaking with a face full of hatred, the strong ones from the Hidden Sect were secretly delighted.
The most fearful thing is having nothing to aspire to.
Now that Zhuge Cang hates Yang Fei with a deep-rooted intensity, and considering how many people from the Zhuge family he still needs to take care of, sending him undercover to deal with Yang Fei, he would surely agree.
At this point, Wang Chunyang revealed the well-crafted plan to Zhuge Cang.
Upon hearing it, Zhuge Cang furrowed his brow.
Helian Zhan asked, "Why, unwilling?"
Zhuge Cang shook his head and said, "It's not about being unwilling, but I'm afraid this matter is not as easy as you think."
"Of course it's not easy, but it's definitely a great opportunity. Also, by then, you wouldn't be alone, as we will coordinate from the outside," Ouyang He said.
Zhuge Cang frowned and said, "Is it Yang Fei who specifically named me to go?"
"Correct." Helian Zhan, Wang Chunyang, and Ouyang He all nodded simultaneously.
Zhuge Cang's expression shifted several times and said, "To be honest, that young man's talent and acumen in the field of arrays are not inferior to mine. After experiencing the Hidden Sect Plane collapse, his level in arrays might have increased significantly. And as you just described, the array at Yunwu Mountain's base now covers such a large area, which indicates that this array's power is much stronger than before. Even if I go, I might not be able to destroy anything."
"We're not asking you to destroy it; instead, you just need to secretly alter the array a bit so that when that young man uses it, it won't be as convenient. Also, you need to learn more about the Cloud Mist Mountain Array, so when we achieve victory in the future, you can use the array to contribute more to the Hidden Sect," Helian Zhan said.
Zhuge Cang pondered for a moment, thinking that this was indeed a good opportunity. This version is sourced from MV3L3MPYR.
It's better than being imprisoned here.
Thinking of this, he looked at the crowd and said, "Since you trust me, I can go and give it a try."
Wang Chunyang and the others quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
A while ago in Wu'an City, they researched the Cloud Mist Mountain Array quite extensively, only to find that the array is truly strong, difficult to break from the outside.
Especially after Yang Fei woke up, that young man's Divine Soul Thought Power became so formidable, making them feel even more threatened.
To increase the chances of success, they must find a way to sabotage it from the inside.
Initially, Zhuge Cang had sabotaged and even altered the Cloud Mist Mountain Array. Now, given Yang Fei actually wanted Zhuge Cang to go help, they thought this was a good opportunity.
Zhuge Cang looked at the crowd and said, "But how do you trust that I will not betray you?"
Ji Bangying heard this and smiled, saying, "Recently, I have observed carefully, and the young disciples from your Zhuge family, such as Zhuge Long, Zhuge Yunxiao, and Zhuge Yunhai, have good potential, acceptable talent, and are worth nurturing. Our Ji family is willing to take them in, providing them with the same cultivation resources as our direct lineage's outstanding sons, helping Zhuge family cultivate talents."
Zhuge Cang's expression changed upon hearing this.
Those mentioned were all young talents of the Zhuge family, with remarkably good potential.
At this time, Ouyang He, Gong Haichao, Wang Chunfeng, and a strong man from the Zhang Family also spoke up one after another, mentioning some names and expressing their willingness to nurture these young disciples of the Zhuge family.
Zhuge Cang's face turned blue and then white.
These could be said to be the future hope of the Zhuge family, now all mentioned without exception, showing how thoroughly these people understood Zhuge family during this period.
If only for these children's sake, he couldn't harbor any betrayal, otherwise, even if there are people still alive in the Zhuge family, with all outstanding disciples killed, it would be extremely difficult for the Zhuge family to rise again.
It might even struggle to retain the strength of a third or fourth-tier small family.
Zhuge Cang never regretted his actions before, but he felt guilty over leading to Zhuge family's decline. Now being threatened like this, how could he dare refuse?
...
Outside Experimental Zone No.1, within the military base responsible for temporarily overseeing Experimental Zone No.1.
Zhu Tianshou met with Duanmu Wentong and Duanmu Song.
Ever since Duanmu Wugou, Duanmu Wuwang, and Duanmu Wuwo led the Duanmu family into the turmoil with the Zhuge family and Giant Sword Manor, the Duanmu family's situation has become somewhat awkward.
Despite being able to lean on their relationship with Yang Fei, giving the Duanmu family an elevated status once assimilated into society, allowing them to live better.
However, the Duanmu family played a bad move.
Currently, with Xu Jian (Duanmu Cheng) rallying cries, coupled with the secret assistance of Duanmu Wentong and Duanmu Song, the family split into two factions distinct from those original ruling powers.
However, over time, Duanmu Wugou remains missing, and the Duanmu Family gradually becomes led by Duanmu Cheng, Duanmu Wentong, and Duanmu Song.
Duanmu Wentong, being the oldest, and the biological grandfather of Yang Fei, now holds a very special status in the Duanmu family.
Zhu Tianshou briefly explained Yang Fei's entrusted matter to Duanmu Wentong and Duanmu Song.
Duanmu Wentong said, "Do you mean to recommend some people to him from those who became prisoners?"
Zhu Tianshou shook his head and said, "Not confined to just those people. You can recommend anyone suitable from other families."
Duanmu Wentong nodded and said, "Alright, my son and I will think it over carefully and give you a list later."
Zhu Tianshou said, "Bring the list with you, and accompany me for a visit, discussing with these people face to face."
"Okay."
Duanmu Song worriedly reminded, "Are those imprisoned experts suitable?"
Zhu Tianshou laughed and said, "They are more suitable than people from the other five families. Having become prisoners, even if released, without family and Sect as a backing, they will find it hard to accomplish anything on their own. Instead, Divine Continent can offer them a chance to start anew, and they should cherish this opportunity."
Duanmu Song nodded, then asked, "Will Qingtian Sect, the Wang Family, and the Poison Sect be opposed once they find out?"
Zhu Tianshou acknowledged gravely, saying, "Therefore, this matter should best be handled secretly. However, rest assured for the time being, they likely won't dare to act rashly, and both sides are unwilling to tear their relationship completely apart."
Duanmu Wentong solemnly said, "Caution is paramount after all."
At the same time, some special talents working in secret for Divine Continent had already received orders from Qin Yanyang, starting to penetrate Experimental Zone No.1 and No.2, constantly contacting some Hidden Sect experts with special status, probing for alliances.
Before this, during the early stages of the big entry into the world by the Hidden Sect, the Shadow Slaughter Venerable Zhao Wuji and Zhang Wenfeng disguised themselves to mix within Experimental Zone No.1, constantly recruiting special talents.
Zhang Wenfeng now has no choice but to follow Zhao Wuji.
While Zhao Wuji remains unwaveringly loyal to Helian Zhan, always serving as Helian Zhan's piece in the secular world, developing Shadow's influence.
Though Shadow was destroyed by Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei along with their forces, Zhao Wuji's connections in the mundane world remained intact, and now with the grand entry of the Hidden Sect, having received orders from the master, he has long begun reorganizing the Shadow team.
Not only is he looking to cultivate a group of assassin-killers skilled in assassination, but more importantly to establish a vast, invisible intelligence network.
In this unique era at the beginning of the new epoch, those harboring ambitions have long been quietly laying their plans, with grand schemes in mind.
