Chapter 172 Traveling to Four Directions
Chapter 172 Traveling to Four Directions
What happened next was quite simple. After all the high-ranking members of the Crimson Jade Society compromised with the Aoki Society, the other members of the Crimson Jade Society had no choice but to accept the fact that the Crimson Jade Society was disbanded.
Furthermore, since the Aoki Society made no attempt to conceal the fact that they would hunt down the remaining members of the Crimson Jade Society, the other members of the Crimson Jade Society quickly began to scatter and flee.
When the Heavenly River Society's reinforcements finally arrived at the Red Jade Society's base, they found it to be a desolate and sparsely populated place.
"Senior Sister Wen, what's going on with the Red Jade Gathering?" a girl in the group asked in a low voice.
"I guess the Red Jade Society is no longer around." Wen Han couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the scene before her.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Guan Bi said softly.
“We are from the Tianhe Society and would like to ask what’s going on with the Hongyu Society?” Wen Han asked a young man who was still at the base.
Unexpectedly, the man replied somewhat resentfully, "You're too late. The Red Jade Society has already disbanded today, and this is now the territory of the Green Wood Society."
"The people from the Aoki Society are really confident! They said five days and they meant five days, no more and no less," Guan Bi remarked.
"The Crimson Jade Society has disbanded, not been destroyed. Moreover, there are not many signs of battle here, which means that the Green Wood Society took this place without bloodshed. I am very curious about how they did it."
"Since we're here, why don't we pay a visit to the Aoki Society? I want to see if they're all as capable as they seem!" Wen Han suggested.
"Alright, at least we should bring back the man wearing the demon mask. The information he has is very important to us."
"Captain, who are the real identities of the people from the Aoki Society? How come they're all so powerful?"
Guan Bi laughed and said, "I don't know about others, but that firebird must be Xiao Ruohuang from the Zhu Yan Sword Sect. That mask of hers is practically useless. I don't know what made Qingmu fall for that silly woman. She's arrogant, domineering, and has a flamboyant personality. She would have been better off choosing me!"
"Aoki-kai has no respect for a scoundrel like you who speaks ill of others behind their backs."
Xiao Ruohuang suddenly emerged from a corner and continued to mock, "Someone said that an acquaintance of mine had arrived and asked me to go and pick them up, but I didn't expect it to be you, you violent woman!"
"Who said I was talking behind your back? I was saying it to your face. Even if you were hiding here, I could smell your bird odor from ten miles away," Guan Bi retorted without backing down.
"Senior Sister Wen, does the captain have a grudge against Xiao Ruohuang?" a young girl quietly asked Wen Han.
"We were enemies since we were kids, let me tell you..."
But when she saw Guan Bi's sharp gaze, she immediately changed her words and said, "Children shouldn't ask about adult matters!"
"Stop arguing, it's so annoying!" Xie Yue said, walking over from a distance with a furrowed brow.
"Thank you, Chairman Xie..." Guan Bi was somewhat bewildered upon seeing this situation.
"I'm no longer the leader. Bring your men and follow me!"
Inside the main tent, Zuo Chen said with a smile, "Welcome to the Green Wood Society. Although there are a few people here now, it will be very lively in the future. If possible, please promote our Green Wood Society within the territory of the Heavenly River Society."
"May I ask what the Aoki Society is planning to do next?" Guan Bi looked at the peaceful scene of the Aoki Society and the Hongyu Society getting along in the tent and suddenly felt that her brain was not working properly.
"Tomorrow, the evil spirit will accompany you to the Heavenly River Society. His intentions are the same as those of our Green Wood Society," Qingyun said slowly.
Only then did Guan Bi notice the woman in the blue dress wearing a wooden mask on the main seat. "May I ask who you are?"
“She is the head of our Aoki Society. Although she rarely appears in public, there would be no Aoki Society without her,” Zuo Chen replied.
The members of the Tianhe Society looked at the girl in the green dress on the main seat with some shock. They did not expect that the leader of the Qingmu Society was also a girl, and a girl with no achievements at all.
Upon hearing Zuo Chen's words, the last glimmer of hope on Qingyun's face faded.
"What an amazing mask!" the members of the Tianhe Society exclaimed inwardly.
“Okay, then please come tomorrow…” Guan Bi was speechless for a moment.
"Just call me the devil!" Shen Xu saw Guan Bi's predicament and helped her out.
"Then please come with us tomorrow," Guan Bi said with a smile.
At this moment, Xie Yue suddenly spoke up: "I will write a letter to Chief Bai, explaining the situation here. Please ask Miss Guan to pass it on to Chief Bai."
"Guanbi will certainly live up to the trust placed in him by Chairman Xie."
"It's getting late. You've all traveled for a long time, so you should get some rest. I hope we can reach an agreement in the end," Qingyun said slowly.
After the Tianhe Society members left, Qingyun said to the Hongyu Society members, "Tomorrow, not only will the Evil Ghost Society leave, but the Qingmu Society will also leave only three people here."
However, I will be stationed here to oversee the recruitment of members for the Aoki Society and the search for the Kunyuan Palace. I hope you will cooperate with us and not have any ulterior motives, otherwise it will not be good for anyone!
……
Inside a tent at the Red Jade Society's headquarters, Wentian and his seven companions were gathered together to discuss matters.
"I'm not worried about Ruohuang and Brother Cen regarding the tasks ahead. The key lies with the Golden Rainbow Society, the most powerful alliance. If we want them to agree to our plan, you must cooperate with me."
Brother Cen and Ruohuang, you are the first to return. Once you get back, explain the ordeal of the Red Jade Society. The Flame Society and the Five Mountains Society must publicly announce their support for our plan. If either of them disagrees, the same fate that befell the Red Jade Society will befall them.
Shen Xu, you will arrive at the Tianhe Society before me. Make sure that the Tianhe Society adds a condition for them to agree to our plan when they withdraw from that Kunyuan Palace.
Once the other three alliances support our proposal, the Golden Rainbow Society will be left alone and will have no choice but to accept it.
"Qingyun, the three of you also have an important task here. After we publicly announce the recruitment of swordsmen, there will definitely be many wood-type swordsmen who want to join the Green Wood Society."
We welcome all those who come and send them out to eliminate the escapees of the Red Jade Society. The more people we eliminate, the more likely we are to get a spot allocated by the Green Wood Society.
If they have the strength to eliminate enough Red Jade Sword Selectors, they can even enter the Condensation Pool. As for how to distinguish the quantity and quality of their eliminations, I will have my own methods when I return.”
"Furthermore, the search for the last Kunyuan Palace must be expedited. We must find it before we return! But do not venture out rashly; we will discuss everything upon our return," Zuo Chen solemnly instructed the group.
