Chapter 200 Secret Meeting
"As long as you can combine with one of Tushan, you can possess the power of the fox demon."
"How's it going? Are you excited?"
Tushan Rongrong said with a hint of bewitchment.
"What Sister Rongrong said is exactly what I have always dreamed of. I wonder if Sister Rongrong thinks that young lady is suitable for me. Can you set us up?"
Ximen Tianyu thought Tushan Rongrong was joking and continued talking along with what she said.
Tushan Rongrong heard this and raised a sly smile: "Brother Tianyu, you know that the Tushan clan not only has stunning looks, but also has their own unique personalities and strengths. It is not easy to form a bond with them."
"But," she changed the subject, her tone becoming more playful, "Since you are so sincere, I can show you a way forward."
At this point, Tushan Rongrong came close to Ximen Tianyu's ear and whispered a few words...
After Ximen Tianyu heard this, the expectation in his eyes suddenly disappeared and the smile on his face became stiff.
"Sister Rongrong, please stop joking with me. My little heart can't take it."
Faced with Ximen Tianyu's embarrassment, Tushan Rongrong did not say anything, but continued to look at him with a slightly meaningful smile.
Fortunately, the two did not dwell too much on this topic and continued to walk forward. The breeze in the forest blew gently, bringing bursts of floral fragrance, as if even the air was filled with a sense of warmth and harmony.
Ximen Tianyu took a deep breath, feeling the tranquility and beauty, and putting all his previous complicated thoughts behind him.
The two of them walked all the way to the border of Tushan, where they stopped. After staying in Tushan for two months, it was time for Ximen Tianyu to deal with the next matters.
He looked around but still didn't see Tushan Yaya. He thought that she didn't like parting, so she didn't come to see him off.
After bidding farewell to Tushan Rongrong, Ximen Tianyu set out on his journey again.
This time, his target was more specific, that was the behemoth Xiao family. The negative information about the Xiao family that was spread in the martial arts world recently was spread by Ximen Tianyu with the help of Tushan's intelligence network.
Although this alone is not enough to topple the deep-rooted Xiao family, it is enough to damage the Xiao family's reputation in the world and shake its foundation.
Ximen Tianyu knew very well that the real battle had just begun, and he needed to plan more carefully and consider every step carefully.
Before leaving Tushan, Tushan Rongrong told Ximen Tianyu a piece of important news, that is, the Xiao family's spies will meet with the reactionary forces in the demon world in the near future.
At that time, the Demon Alliance will also send out its own forces to monitor and intervene. If everything is ideal, the Demon Alliance may be able to collect evidence of collusion between the two forces, which will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the Xiao family. Ximen Tianyu secretly calculated in his heart, thinking that then would be the best time for him to act.
He did not rush into action, but chose to return to Yunchang first. The other party informed him of the movements of the Xiao family members that he had collected during this period, as well as their subtle connections with certain forces in the demon world.
"Sir, the contact between the Xiao family and the demon world this time seems to be more secretive than imagined. Our people can only capture some marginal information, but it is enough to prove that there is indeed some kind of transaction between them."
Yun Shang looked solemn as she handed a piece of encrypted intelligence to Ximen Tianyu. Ximen Tianyu took the intelligence and quickly glanced through it, frowning. The key figures mentioned in the intelligence were all core members of the Xiao family, and their contact with the demon world was obviously not as simple as a simple exchange of interests.
"It seems that I have to go there myself."
Ximen Tianyu already had a plan in mind. He knew very well that this trip was extremely dangerous, but in order to expose the true face of the Xiao family and to avenge his parents, he had to take the risk.
"Yun Shang, you stay here and continue to monitor the Xiao family's movements. If there is any movement, notify me immediately."
Ximen Tianyu's eyes revealed unquestionable determination.
"Yes, sir. You must be careful."
Although Yun Shang was worried, she also understood that this was Ximen Tianyu's mission, and could only pray silently for his safe return.
Ximen Tianyu did not stay for too long. He changed into a nightgown that was convenient for movement and quietly left Yunshang's residence. The night was as dark as ink, and the stars were twinkling, adding a bit of mystery and courage to his journey.
After several days of secret investigation and tracking, Ximen Tianyu finally locked down the specific location where the Xiao family and the demon world met - an abandoned ancient temple located in the deep mountains and old forests. This place is rarely visited by people and is an ideal place for secret transactions.
In order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, Ximen Tianyu did not act immediately, but lurked nearby, quietly observing every move around the ancient temple. He used his familiarity with the terrain and superb concealment skills to successfully avoid the eyes of the Xiao family and the demon world.
Finally, on a dark and windy night, the core members of the Xiao family and the reactionary forces of the demon world arrived as scheduled. Without anyone noticing, Ximen Tianyu quietly killed a disciple of the Xiao family, put on his clothes, and followed the team into the ancient temple.
Inside the ancient temple, the candlelight flickered, illuminating sinister faces. Ximen Tianyu hid in the Xiao family's team, silently watching the meeting.
"The Xiao family's envoy wants to see us so urgently, what is the reason?"
A demon wearing a black robe, with his face hidden under the shadow of a hood, spoke slowly with a deep and magnetic voice. His tone revealed an unquestionable majesty, as if he could see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts.
The leader of the Xiao family was the leader of the Xiao family's secret guards. At this moment, he had a sinister look on his face. He looked at the monster in front of him and said, "Old Monster King, our Xiao family has been cooperating with you for a long time, and there is no need to say more about the trust between us. But this urgent summons is all because of your incompetence!"
"Do you still remember that you need to help our Xiao family get that secret alliance message?"
"A secret from the Dao League? I think Sir Xiao has some misunderstandings. What I promised was only to prevent the Demon League from interfering."
The black-robed monster spoke in a calm but sharp tone, and was obviously displeased with the Xiao family's unreasonable demands.
The Xiao family's secret guard leader snorted coldly, his tone full of threats: "Old Demon King, the cooperation between you and me is based on mutual interests. If you can't lend a helping hand to my Xiao family, then whether this cooperation is still necessary is worth discussing."
The black-robed monster was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. Then, he slowly spoke: "Emissary Xiao, please calm down. Since the Dao League secret has disappeared again, I don't think Envoy Xiao is looking for us because of this matter."
