Chapter 2196 - 1187: Junior Priest of Secret Sect_6

Looking at Sheng Yanlin with his composed demeanor, Yang Xiao finally felt relieved. In this area, Sheng Yanlin was the expert. If he said he couldn’t discern anything, then he couldn’t discern anything.

"But notwithstanding nothing can be seen, before you meet him, at least within a week, you shouldn’t use this book. Otherwise, he might detect something abnormal from the lingering spiritual power on you."

Sheng Yanlin squinted his eyes and warned, "This old fellow has sharp eyes and a petty mind, not easy to deal with."

With Sheng Yanlin’s admonition, Yang Xiao knew how to respond and guard against it, which was the most important thing.

After all, he couldn’t keep avoiding the Taoist Sect people; that would only arouse more suspicion.

Yang Xiao decided that once he had handled the matter of Yiling Academy, he would take the initiative to visit Master Yunlan on Dragon Tiger Mountain and also meet his old friend, Beiyu Ye.

After all... it was Beiyu Ye who gifted him this book.

"Elder Sheng, now that we have this book in hand, don’t you want to see how the results of reclaiming the academy will turn out?" Yang Xiao asked with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Yanlin looked at the book a few more times before returning it to Yang Xiao, shaking his head, "Won’t look."

"Why is that?" Yang Xiao was a bit surprised. He initially thought Elder Sheng would be keen to see how the operation turned out upon seeing the book.

Sheng Yanlin slowly stood up, with both hands behind his back, suddenly exuding an imposing aura, truly showing the demeanor of a grand master:

"Because there’s no need." Sheng Yanlin’s expression was indifferent, but his tone was resolute, "No matter the outcome, I must return. As long as I’m breathing, I will eradicate the traitors and reclaim my belongings."

"Although Yiling Academy doesn’t have the prestige of the Ten Great Sects, the Yiling Sheng Family has been handed down for a hundred years, and it cannot end under my watch. Otherwise, I would die with regrets!"

Seeing Sheng Yanlin speaking so decisively, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but stand up as well, "Rest assured, Elder Sheng. This time, I’ll accompany you to reclaim the academy!"

"Currently, our Patrol Defense Office is fully prepared, just waiting for you to raise the flag of righteous revolt and declare the elimination of rebels, rallying the old troops, pressing the army forward to reclaim the academy!" Yang Xiao clenched his left fist, making a firm grip.

"But there’s one more thing the leaders of the Patrol General Bureau asked me to clarify with you. This time, our Patrol Defense Office will only coordinate, assist you from the periphery, encircle the city and block reinforcements. The crucial assault on the academy to eliminate the main evil must be done by you." Yang Xiao knew that as a member of the Patrol Defense Office, everything must adhere to the orders of the Patrol General Bureau.

However, Sheng Yanlin was also an understanding person, slowly nodding, "I understand, Little Yang. You’ve already done your best on this matter. To put it bluntly, without you, there wouldn’t be the present Sheng Yanlin. I owe you a great favor, and I’m aware of it."

"Elder Sheng, you’re being too polite. There’s no need to be distant between us." Yang Xiao waved his hand.

"My brother lacks talent in cultivation, but he has a vicious mind, proficient in schemes and conspiracies. I don’t think the trick of faking my death by the Esoteric Sect can fool him. The academy must be heavily guarded during this period, and he will find every possible way to invite masters for reinforcements." Sheng Yanlin analyzed.

"Yes, that’s also what I’m worried about. He’s definitely not a match for you, Elder Sheng. The elders of the academy may not act when they see you appear. The troublesome part is we don’t know whom he’ll invite for reinforcements, perhaps hiring masters with Death Contracts from the Chamber of Commerce isn’t out of the question." Yiling Academy is a major martial arts school, undoubtedly holding many good things, providing a few items to the Chamber of Commerce to hire several genuine Netherworld Realm masters is perfectly reasonable.

"He has helpers, but so do I. My whole life, Sheng Yanlin never saved silver or gold magic artifacts, but I’ve saved a lot of goodwill."

Sheng Yanlin snorted coldly, "I’ve already thought it through, tonight I’ll write several secret letters, and send them to reliable people to be delivered domestically, handed to my friends. Once they know I’m alive, they’ll surely bring help."
