Chapter 1438: A Play
y man, there was also a centipede. It was the same fiery red in color as Qin Sang's fire jade centipede, but on its back ran a fine, dark gold line. Its body was also a circle larger than Qin Sang's,...Silence fell over the room for a moment.
The one who spoke first was a white-haired old woman. Her voice was somewhat raspy, and there was worry in her tone. She seemed displeased that the Great Elder she mentioned had left.
A middle-aged man stood beside her, his face hardened and his eyes like daggers. In terms of status and bearing, he was equal to the old woman.
Both of them were actually at the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage!
They are the elders of Xuantian Palace!
Everyone in the room wore robes of a similar style, but the patterns on them differed slightly. The old woman and the middle-aged man's sashes were golden, while the others were silver.
The middle-aged man understood the old woman's worries and consoled her: "There is no smoke without fire. Whether true or false, it's better to check it out. The Grand Elder is also worried that if the rumors are true, we will be guarding the Devil Island and miss a good opportunity. If the sacred artifact falls into the hands of those demon kings and given to the Great Sage Tianpeng, it will be difficult to retrieve it!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man recalled the message he had received earlier.
It is said that someone once saw near the Star Sand Islands in the north of the String Moon Realm, several Demon Kings chasing an unknown white-clothed person for some unknown treasure, causing quite a stir.
Due to the vagueness of the rumors and the lack of details, they all tended to believe them to be false.
But, the fiend who stole the sacred relic did indeed enter the Demon Realm. If that fiend is alive and crossing the Demon Realm, it's possible they are recently appearing in the Star Sand Islands.
This coincidence was enough to catch their attention.
The elder decided to go there in person.
If Qin Sang found out about this, he would immediately guess that it was the Feng Shangshi and his people who leaked the news, trying to cause trouble for Bi Fang. Since I didn't want to get involved in the storm myself, I kept things vague. It's enough if Xuan Tian Gong can understand.
After a pause, the middle-aged man continued: “Even without the Grand Elder, we could easily capture that demon. Hmm The timing of this news...it just happens to reach our ears before the Great Demon Convention. Could it be that the demon did this on purpose, to divert our attention and scatter our forces He knows the situation in the palace well; unless absolutely necessary, we can't let the news of the sacred artifact being stolen spread, nor dare to alarm the Palace Master, so we cannot launch a large-scale search.”
"That's best, I'll be waiting here for that scoundrel!"
The old woman let out a cold snort, suppressing the sudden surge of anger in her heart. Her tone changed as she said, "Even if that bastard transforms into an ice demon's body, his strength is only comparable to that of an early Nascent Soul stage cultivator. This old one isn't worried he'll escape our clutches."
The middle-aged man's expression shifted slightly, "Elder Mei is worried about that demon, the Old Devil of Chaos"
"Not bad!"
The old woman emphasized her point, "That treacherous old demon is cunning and deceitful. The excuse we concocted might not fool him. Though he swore a heart demon oath, who knows what tricks he might pull behind the scenes With the Grand Elder absent, it's impossible to restrain him."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the cultivators in the room all became unusually solemn.
The pressure brought by the Grand Cultivator is something no one dares to ignore.
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "The Grand Elder left secretly, so the demon didn't know. Even if he had any intentions, he wouldn't dare to be blatant. By the time he reacts, we will have already succeeded."
This should be translated to:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Then, the middle-aged man sighed, "Outsiders, unless they are in the Nascent Soul Stage or extremely proficient in the way of ice, it is basically impossible to open the Myriad Years Profound Ice Box. Who would have thought that we would have a traitor within our ranks, taking advantage of the chaos to steal the most important holy relic of Xuan Tian Palace If this continues, that demon child will probably be able to break the seal soon. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to rush into making a deal with that demon and pushing forward the Grand Demon Assembly, luring that demon child out."
If these words were to be spread, they would surely cause a great stir.
The birth of Huanglongshi's palace and the killing of Xuan Tian Palace elders by the Demonic Old Man, it turned out to be a play all along, fooling everyone!
At this time, a man in white sitting at the bottom couldn't help but speak up: “Elder Lan, did the Great Elder really give Huang Longshi’s relic to the Mad Demon Old Man Wasn't it said that Huang Longshi had several palaces and wasn't permanently stationed in one cave abode This relic's secret points to Huang Longshi's true cave abode!”
The middle-aged man glanced at him, "Do you think that a palace we've already searched and some Han Gu Dao artifacts are enough to get the Demon-Subduing Elder to cooperate with us"
The man opened his mouth, speechless.
Seeing his expression, the middle-aged man's face relaxed, and his tone became light. "It points to Huanglongshi's cave dwelling, but it's just our guess. For so many years, the Great Elder has taken this item to search many times, all to no avail. Whether the real cave dwelling exists or not is still unknown. After all, this palace stores so many Cold Bone Taoist treasures. With Huanglongshi's strength, it's not something he could just discard at will. Besides, what if the Demon-Confounding Old Man found it It's just a cave dwelling of a Yuan Ying late stage cultivator!"
The middle-aged man's voice was full of confidence, and under his influence, the white-clad man's anxiety subsided.
At this moment, the middle-aged man and the old woman exchanged a glance. The man lightly tapped the armrest and said in a low voice to the several white-clothed people below.
“The auction will begin soon. You go down now and disguise yourselves to find those who bought a large number of ice-cold artifacts these days. That demon's cultivation is insufficient. To break the seal, he can only set up the 'Reverse Yin Array'. Hehe... The Reverse Yin Array requires an enormous amount of cold power, which can only be supplemented by a large number of treasures. As long as he is eager to break the seal and sever the connection with the artifact, he will definitely not miss the Wanmo Grand Assembly, an opportunity to collect treasures.”
"Yes, sir!"
Those in white received their orders and left.
> After his subordinates had left.
The old woman coughed lightly and said, "That bastard is cunning. If he had enough time, he would definitely control some low-level cultivators to buy them separately. In this way, it wouldn't be easy to find him. The biggest hope is still to use the Yinli Pearl taken out by the Grand Elder to lock onto him... Is the disguise complete"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Elder Mei, rest assured. Before the trading meet, we will definitely complete the disguise. In the eyes of others, Yin Li Zhu is just an ordinary Yin bead, and they won't pay too much attention to it. As long as that demon child is attracted by the treasure of the Cold Bone Dao and comes to the trading meet, due to its unique ice demon body, it will be able to sense the peculiarity of Yin Li Zhu."

Hearing this, the old woman smiled, "It seems they found traces of Shixue and Liuli in Wanmo City. Don't be too clever and get bought by them."
"I heard about it too! That girl Lu Li's Bing Po Divine Light hasn't fully matured yet, her spiritual awareness isn't as sharp as that of an ice demon's body. It's impossible for her to see through the Yin Li Zhu's disguise. Elder Mei can rest assured."
Saying that, the middle-aged man stood up and walked towards the back hall, instead of returning to his own quiet room.
The old woman was taken aback and asked, "What else do you want to do"
