Chapter 164 Encirclement and reinforcements
A day later, Ding Yi received a message from Nangong Tian, asking him to meet at a small shop in the city.
Although he knew in his heart that he might be called over because of what they had discussed yesterday, Ding Yi still felt it was a bit outrageous.
How exactly did Nangong Tian get to know the higher-ups of the Chaotic God Cult?
However, since there was hope, Ding Yi naturally wouldn't miss it.
Moreover, even Nangong Tian, just in case, Ding Yi still carried the Flowing Sand Map with him.
Upon arriving at the shop's entrance, Ding Yi first secretly opened the quicksand map and glanced at it. Finding nothing unusual on it, he then emerged from the shadows and walked towards the shop's door.
This shop is located in the heart of the Eighth Ward, which is considered the core area of the entire Baiyun City.
As a result, there were a lot of people on the streets.
Those who can acquire shops on this street must be people of extraordinary status.
Upon entering the shop, Ding Yi immediately saw Nangong Tian waiting inside.
Unlike before, Nangong Tian was noticeably reserved at this moment. He watched Ding Yi walk in and immediately waved and called out:
"here."
Ding Yi glanced around discreetly, then followed Nangong Tian into the shop.
Behind this shop, there was a hidden world.
Behind the curtain was a long corridor.
The corridor meanders inward, flanked by ponds and artificial hills, with koi swimming among them, demonstrating the astonishing size of this shop.
Led by Nangong Tian, Ding Yi soon passed through the corridor and arrived at a side room.
Looking at the room in front of him, Nangong Tian first straightened his clothes, then turned to Ding Yi and whispered:
"Remember, you are now a member of the Chaotic God Cult."
After saying that, Nangong Tiancai stepped forward and gently knocked on the door.
"Enter."
As the knocking sounded, a lazy voice quickly followed from behind the door.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Tian gently pushed open the door, then turned to Ding Yi and gave him a wink, signaling him to follow.
Ding Yi found the sounds inside the room rather strange; the high-ranking member of the Chaotic God Sect inside was actually a woman.
However, Ding Yi certainly wouldn't show anything on his face at this moment, and followed Nangong Tian into the house.
Upon entering the room, Ding Yi immediately smelled a strong perfume scent.
At the same time, he also saw the high-ranking member of the Chaotic God Cult that Nangong Tian had mentioned, a woman dressed in palace attire.
The woman looked quite old, and she was also curiously sizing up Ding Yi.
"You're the junior brother Xiaotian mentioned, Ding Hai?"
Shi Ruolin glanced at Ding Yi briefly, then spoke slowly.
"Yes, my lord."
Ding Yi clasped his hands in a fist salute and said.
"Hmm, I heard you want to talk to the middle and upper management. So, what's the matter?"
Shi Ruolin said slowly.
"My lord, my information can only be shared with the higher-ups."
Ding Yi, however, remained calm and continued speaking.
"Well, kid, you think my position isn't high enough? Or are you worried I'm lying to you?"
Shi Ruolin sneered when she heard Ding Yi's words.
"Please don't take offense, sir."
Ding Yi said it casually.
Nangong Tian, standing to the side, was stunned.
Is Ding Hai really that fierce?!
This is the leader of the helm! A powerful expert at the Yuanqiao Realm, a top-tier master who can shatter mountains and split rocks with a wave of his hand!!
Nangong Tian even wondered if he had forgotten to emphasize Shi Ruolin's temper to Ding Yi before coming.
The title "Death Rose" wasn't given to Shi Ruolin by herself; it was bestowed upon her by her enemies!
Thinking of this, Nangong Tian kept giving Ding Yi meaningful glances, but Ding Yi acted as if he didn't see them and instead stood calmly in place looking at Shi Ruolin.
Shi Ruolin looked at Ding Yi, then took out a token from her bosom and tossed it to Ding Yi.
Ding Yi looked at the flying token, but instead of catching it with his hand, he stretched out one hand, his palm radiating energy, and immediately controlled the flying token, making it rotate slightly above his palm.
After glancing at the token, Ding Yi immediately saw the words "Branch Master of Baihe City" on it, and then smiled and said:
"As expected of the Master, please forgive me, Master."
After Ding Yi finished speaking, he flicked his hand slightly, and the token slowly flew towards Shi Ruolin, then gently landed in front of her.
Upon seeing this, Shi Ruolin nodded slightly.
"No wonder he was so fearless. It turns out that his control over his internal energy has reached a state of perfection, making him quite formidable even in blood exchange."
"You can talk now."
After Shi Ruolin finished speaking, she noticed that Ding Yi still hadn't said anything, but instead stared blankly at Nangong Tian beside him.
Nangong Tian was also taken aback upon seeing this, and his expression immediately turned strange.
Good grief, I brought you in, and now you're turning your back on me?
Despite his anger, Nangong Qi still clasped his hands in a fist salute to Shi Ruolin before hurriedly leaving the room and closing the door behind him.
After seeing Nangong Tian leave, Ding Yi spoke up:
"My lord, I have definite news that the Yin-Yang Palace is going to join forces with the Taiping Palace."
Upon hearing this, Shi Ruolin raised an eyebrow and blurted out:
"impossible!"
"Why is it impossible?"
Now it was Ding Yi's turn to be a little confused.
"Yin Yang Palace and Tai Ping Palace, one is the overlord of Qingzhou and the other is the king of Yizhou. The two states are like fire and water. How can they join forces?"
Shi Ruolin countered with a question.
"My lord, you may not know this, but Baiyun Temple has grand ambitions in Qingfeng County. I think the higher-ups within the sect have already noticed something."
"In this way, once Baiyun Temple attacks Qingzhou, Yin Yang Palace will be dragged into the war. Therefore, I think it is normal to win over neighboring states in advance."
Ding Yi said.
Shi Ruolin listened to Ding Yi's words and fell into deep thought.
In her memory, Yin Yang Palace and Taiping Palace had been secretly clashing for more than a decade, and now they suddenly announced their alliance, which no one could believe.
However, Ding Hai's words made sense, and Shi Ruolin was a little unsure for the moment.
"Do you have evidence?"
Shi Ruolin suddenly asked.
"No, but I can prove myself."
Ding Yi said.
"Oh? Tell me."
Shi Ruolin raised an eyebrow.
"The Yin-Yang Palace has allied with the Taiping Palace through marriage, and the Taiping Palace will soon send an envoy to the Yin-Yang Palace to propose marriage. If I can lead you to this envoy, wouldn't that prove it?"
Ding Yi said slowly.
Shi Ruolin thought Ding Yi was joking when she heard his words.
What, were you standing by when the two palaces arranged the marriage?
They even sent envoys! Do you think you're marrying someone who's going to marry you?!
Shi Ruolin was startled again upon thinking of this. A thought suddenly came to her mind: everyone says people from the Yang Palace like men. This young man in front of her had such delicate skin… could it be…?
The more Shi Ruolin thought about it, the more sense it made, and she immediately sneered:
"Fine, so you want to use my teachings to ruin your wedding, is that it?!"
Ding Yi smiled as he looked at Shi Ruolin and shook his head slightly.
In fact, ruining the marriage was just a minor side objective. Ding Yi's real goal was, of course, to kill the external evil spirits and gain more lifespan.
Imagine if an envoy went missing; a team would inevitably come to investigate.
If this team of investigators goes missing again, then a master investigator will surely come to check.
With this cycle repeating endlessly, why worry about not having enough lifespan, or about not being able to establish oneself in chaotic times?!
The thought of besieging the enemy's stronghold and plunging the entire Taiping Palace into a quagmire of war made Ding Yi's body tremble slightly with excitement.
He never expected that Sun Qiao'er, this chess piece, would have this role.
Of course, one person can't do this alone, so Ding Yi thought of dragging the Chaotic God Cult into it.
However, Ding Yi certainly wouldn't say that, but instead continued:
"My lord, whether or not we get married is not the point. The point is that once the two palaces unite, the Chaos God Sect's future actions in Qingzhou will inevitably be hampered."
"If we can impersonate others and launch a surprise attack on this group, I think the entire Qingzhou region, including the three neighboring states, will be thrown into chaos as a result."
"The Chaos God Cult, doesn't it just love chaos?"
