Chapter 535 Cooperation Begins

Let’s get back to the topic. Let me start with the beginning.

Just this beginning made Bai Qiru, who had just stood up, suddenly realize something, and he stared at his grandmother with surprise and suspicion in his eyes.

"It was because the Demon Ancestor who got the Demon Book was violent and wanted to control all the worlds that Jin Zhan had no choice but to fight him.

Before making this decision, I wonder if Jin Zhan had a premonition that he was no match for the Demon Ancestor and made arrangements for his funeral in advance.

It was only before Jin Zhan went on the expedition that our ancestor Baihu learned about the six books of Wuyang Palace from him. He also learned that the Demon Ancestor was not satisfied with only the Demon Book, but always wanted to collect all six books. This is why Jin Zhan did not easily pass on the entire Demon Book to future generations.

Jin Zhan had long known that the Phoenix Clan had rebellious intentions and that they were colluding with the Demon Ancestor and were willing to be his lackeys, but Jin Zhan did not expose it. Under Jin Zhan's instructions, our ancestors secretly joined the Phoenix Clan.

Jin Zhan meant that if he didn’t come back, the clan would be implicated, so he asked our ancestors to try their best to find a way to preserve the golden-haired rat clan.

Our ancestors swore an oath to this effect. If this oath is violated, the Bai family will perish."

Hearing this, Bai Qiru asked in a trembling voice: "Did the Bai family break this oath?"

Grandma Qi glanced at her without commenting, and continued, "Later, the Jin clan was defeated in the war, and the Phoenix clan took back the sacred mountain and turned the tables. You also know that many high-ranking members of the Jin clan either died in the war or were sent to the Demon Ancestor. However, the world is full of twists and turns, and the situation changes overnight. The Demon Ancestor did not remain rampant for too long and died at the hands of others.

Our ancestors served Jin Zhan for a long time and knew him too well. How could a person who could keep a backup plan to protect his clan members let the evil book be lost?
The ancestors believed that Jin Zhan must have left a backup plan before his death to ensure the inheritance of the magic book. The ancestors believed that with Jin Zhan's intelligence, the magic book would sooner or later appear in front of the golden-haired rat clan. It was only a matter of time.

However, until the ancestor passed away, the evil book never reappeared.

Since then, generation after generation of our Bai family has been waiting for the appearance of that evil book.

If it weren't for waiting for this demon book, and if it weren't for my Bai family's secret control and protection, how could the Jin family's occasional outbursts of resentment or mistakes made over countless years be able to stop the Phoenix family's murderous intent?
I don’t know if the Jin family is trapped in the sacred mountain, and the demon book cannot easily contact them, so my Bai family occasionally creates some opportunities for the demon book to contact the Jin family. There are more than one Huang Yingying who has gained freedom in history. "

Bai Qiru's pupils suddenly shrank, "Did the Bai family arrange for Huang Yingying to escape?"

Grandma Qi: "Madame Fan's daughter was in danger and was saved by Huang Yingying. To others, it was an accident, and it had to be an accident. Madame Fan would be grateful to Huang Yingying. As long as someone whispered in her ear, with her status in the Phoenix Clan, it would be a piece of cake for her to grant Huang Yingying freedom. The reason why we chose Huang Yingying is because he is the one with the best cultivation aptitude in the Jin Clan over the years."

Bai Qiru immediately understood the purpose of being with Huang Yingying. It was a fake intention to repay a favor, but it was real intention to monitor her. The two of them lived together, and if there were any abnormal changes in Huang Yingying's cultivation, how could she possibly hide it from her?

She bit her lip and said, "Our ancestors swore an oath. If the Bai family breaks the oath, aren't they afraid of being punished by heaven?"

Grandma Qi said calmly: "Have you seen the punishment from heaven? Our ancestors did swear an oath, that is their business. Whether our ancestors broke the oath is too long ago, and we, the descendants, have no way of verifying it. Besides, the Bai family has never broken the oath and has been protecting the Golden Rat clan. Jin Zhan did not say that he would pass on the Demon Book to future generations, and our ancestors did not swear that they would not touch the Demon Book.

In order to protect the Jin family, we, the Bai family, have been loyal and humble to the Feng family for countless years. How much humiliation have we endured and how much dignity have we paid? No matter how great the favor is, it has been repaid long ago. Shouldn't we get some compensation?"

As he spoke, the figure stood up again, approached Bai Qiru, and whispered softly, "The Bai family's efforts were not in vain, and neither were your efforts. Gao He and Wang Ping have lived in Dazhi City for so long. Judging from their current situation, they are obviously not ordinary people. How could such people work as errand boys in Dazhi City for so long? How could such people play with Huang Yingying? Huang Yingying actually said that Gao He could save him!

Girl, it's obvious that they are deliberately contacting Huang Yingying, and there is nothing to gain from Huang Yingying. Is it because Huang Yingying can steal some magical rice from the rice shop? Is it because they like to go to the brothel with Huang Yingying? No one believes these lame excuses!

Girl, the ancestors' judgment is correct. As long as someone with ulterior motives appears to contact the Jin family, it means that Jin Zhan's back-up plan has appeared, which means that the Demon Book has appeared. Do you know what the Demon Book means to the Bai family who have bowed down to the emperor for countless years? Do you know what it means to you? Jin Zhan said that if you practice the Six Books to perfection, you can achieve immortality!"

As the old woman spoke, she became a little excited and her body was shaking.

Bai Qiru didn't think about those distant things, but thought of something else, and asked: "Grandma, with the relationship between the Bai family and the Phoenix family, if they really wanted to, wouldn't they have been able to get the Phoenix family to let go of the Jin family a long time ago?"

Isn't it about repaying a favor, so she had thought about this issue a long time ago.

Grandma Qi calmed down instantly and stared at her eyes for a while. "If they go out and spread out, it will be hard to monitor them!"

Bai Qiru opened his eyes slightly, understood instantly, and bit his lip.

Grandma Qi extended a hand to support her shoulder again, "Girl, if it were someone else, I would never tell them this, but I know you. You are a good child who can make sacrifices for the Bai family. You will definitely not let these secrets leak out, otherwise it will be a disaster for our Bai family. Girl, your efforts will not be in vain. I have said it before, grandma is training you to be the next clan leader!"

Bai Qiru knew what this secret would mean to the Bai family if it got out. She was afraid that the Phoenix Clan would not let the Bai family go first. She lowered her head and said, "Grandma, maybe you are overthinking it. Even the Bai family can betray the Jin family. If Gao He and the others really have the demon book, they don't have to give it to the descendants of the Jin family. There may be other reasons for contacting Huang Yingying."

Grandma Qi shook her head, "You underestimated your ancestors' judgment and Jin Zhan's brain. A group of people entered the Wuyang Palace, and the one who stood out and got the demon book couldn't be simple? Our ancestors knew Jin Zhan very well. If it was really Jin Zhan's backer, he would have his own way of pointing it. Even if we made a wrong judgment, we have to confirm whether it was wrong. At this point, we can't give up halfway, and we can't miss this possible opportunity. The Bai family has waited for too many years, and grandma's body can't wait any longer!" Bai Qiru was silent, stunned for a while, and suddenly said: "I want to go see Huang Yingying."

Grandma Qi took out a mother-child talisman and checked it. It was a message from the tribe outside, saying that Gao He wanted to see her. She immediately replied, "Okay, I have something else to do. If you want to go, go and ask the goddess yourself. I will definitely not agree."

After saying that, he walked out of the door with his cane and headed straight for the place where Wu Jinliang and his gang were under house arrest.

They were not far away, both on a mountain. In another courtyard, Wu Jinliang had been taken to a quiet room and was waiting.

Grandma Qi opened the door and walked in, then closed it again. When she saw someone, she asked, "Did the person behind you say anything?"

She has always believed that there is someone behind Wu Jinliang, otherwise such a low-level cultivator would not be worth the Jihuo Sect making such a big move.

Hearing such words again, Wu Jinliang couldn't help laughing, but in fact he felt a little sorry for the other party. He didn't know where this old witch got the confidence from. She didn't even know his identity, yet she dared to get involved in this matter.

Not to mention the Demonic Path, he sorted out the other forces involved in this matter and found that the Bai family was the weakest party.

Never mind. As long as the other party didn't show his knife and stab him, he didn't want to disrupt the peace. He was looking for trouble only when he was sick. He immediately said, "Let's prepare something first. Let me ask grandma if she can get me some 'Que Si Xiang'."

This was a decision Shi Chun made after weighing all aspects of the relevant security issues. Didn't the other party want to cooperate? It seemed that there was no harm in cooperating with him, so he would cooperate as the other party wished. Anyway, it was not convenient for him to escape for the time being, so he couldn't stop and continued his work.

It is completely possible to do things and look for opportunities at the same time.

Grandma Qi was suspicious when she heard this, "Why do you need 'Que Si Xiang'?"

A thought even flashed through her mind: these guys approached Huang Yingying and gathered at the foot of the sacred mountain. Could they be here for the dead incense?
But she changed her mind again, because Huang Yingying couldn't get it either.

Wu Jinliang: "Of course it will be useful. Grandma will see it when it is used. I don't know whether Grandma will spare my life yet, so I can't tell you everything. If we start doing things together, isn't that already cooperation?"

Even so, Grandma Qi still shook her head and said, "Yes, there is, but I can't get it."

Wu Jinliang was startled. He originally wanted to ask the other party to help him find refining materials or to help him refine it. He thought that the ready-made manpower would be wasted if he didn't use it. But the other party actually said that he had a finished product. He immediately asked, "Who has it?"

Grandma Qi: "Of course it is in the hands of the Phoenix Clan. This item originally came from the Phoenix Clan."

Wu Jinliang's eyes lit up immediately, and he could no longer hold back his pragmatic style, and he started to flatter, "Grandma is highly respected in the Phoenix Clan, so it's okay to ask for a little bit of it. As long as Grandma asks, there will be no problem."

Grandma Qi shook her head. "I really don't have that kind of face. I can't get it."

Wu Jinliang was not willing to let it go easily. "You are highly respected. How can we know if we don't try? Let's try our best first, and then we can talk about it. How do you think?"

Since there is a ready-made one, he definitely doesn't want to go through the trouble of refining it. Anyway, it's not his job to go to the Phoenix Clan to ask for things. To use the words that Shi Chun just conveyed, it means that Bai family will do the work.

Grandma Qi sighed, "Don't try, it's definitely useless. The materials for refining the Soul-Reversing Tree are scarce among the Phoenix Clan now, and they don't have much."

Wu Jinliang: "It's not much, but how do you know they won't give you some face? We don't want too much, just a little bit will do. Grandma, you don't even want to try, it doesn't seem like you have the sincerity to cooperate."

Grandma Qi hesitated for a while before finally revealing, "You don't know that Que Si Xiang means a lot to the Phoenix Clan. Let me put it this way, have you heard of the legend of the Phoenix Clan's immortality?"

Wu Jinliang was stunned. "I have heard a little bit about the phoenix, the ability to be reborn from the ashes, the immortal gods, etc. Could it be related to the Quesi Incense? No, that's not right. The corpses resurrected by the Quesi Incense are not really resurrected at all. They will still decay and rot."

Grandma Qi shook her head again. "For others, it is not a true resurrection, but it is different for the Phoenix Clan. The Phoenix Clan has a unique ability. After death, the body can be reborn through fire and the fragrance of death can be used to make the soul return. After resurrection, it is still the consciousness of the original person, just in a new body.

In the past, when there were many Soul-Returning Trees, the Phoenix Clan didn't worry about the shortage of Death-Removing Incense. But ever since Ancestor Huang Yingying cast a spell to move the mountain and destroyed the sacred mountain, the Soul-Returning Trees have become very rare, which has also led to the scarcity of Death-Removing Incense. Some ordinary Phoenix Clan members were no longer qualified to use Death-Removing Incense after they died of old age, so they really died. This is also the reason why the Phoenix Clan is becoming less and less in number today.

The Phoenix Clan kept this a secret, fearing that their claim to be a divine clan would fall from grace. I also learned this secret by accident.

I want to ask you, if even the Phoenix Clan’s own people died of old age and had no use for the dead incense, how could they possibly give it to an outsider without even asking for it? "
