Chapter 807 - 804: Daoist Tianxing’s Methods
Xiao Tian’s words left all the elders of the Kunlun Sect dumbfounded, thinking to themselves, how could this person be so familiar with these things?!"As long as you show a stance of being ambivalent towards Master Guanghuai, I believe the Water Drop Organization and other external forces will offer the most generous terms to win you over," Xiao Tian said with absolute confidence.
"And when Master Guanghuai sees this, he won’t stand idly by. By then, your Kunlun Sect will be benefiting from both sides, and the rest, do I need to say more?"
After Xiao Tian finished speaking, there was a long silence until a minor elder finally stood up and asked, "But if we do this, what if Master Guanghuai incites public opinion among people..."
The elder’s words were abruptly cut off by Xiao Tian waving his hand, "Remember at the start I told you to contact Master Guanghuai first? Besides, I merely suggested you play both sides; did I ever say you truly have to switch sides?!"
"But..."
The elder tried to argue, only to be interrupted by Xiao Tian’s impatient retort, "There are no ’buts.’ If you can’t even handle this little matter, then you deserve to miss out on the opportunity for rapid development!"
Having said that, Xiao Tian sat back down, no longer participating in the discussion, with an expression that said he was only offering a suggestion, whether they listened or not was up to them.
After a moment, Daoist Tianxing waved his hand and said, "Alright, Xiao Tian’s proposal is quite a good suggestion. I hope you will think about it seriously when you return. We can continue this discussion tomorrow."
It was clear that Daoist Tianxing was sending them off, so naturally, the elders present couldn’t stay any longer and began to take their leave.
After the last person left, Daoist Tianxing closed the door and, with a smile, said, "Thank you very much, young friend!"
Xiao Tian wasted no words and got straight to the point, "No need for pleasantries, you should know what I want to know."
These words sounded like a tongue twister, but Daoist Tianxing nodded understandingly and said, "I understand. It’s about the Shaking Light Disc, right?"
Daoist Tianxing’s response took Xiao Tian slightly by surprise, "You know about the Shaking Light Disc?!"
"Of course!" Daoist Tianxing nodded affirmatively, "Among the many legends my master told us, there was mention of the Shaking Light Disc."
"Oh?!"
Xiao Tian’s gaze narrowed as he asked, "Can you reveal a bit about it?"
Daoist Tianxing nodded calmly and said, "Sure, consider it a little reward for the help you just gave me."
After a moment of thought, Daoist Tianxing continued, "According to my master’s account, the Shaking Light Disc is a paired treasure with the Megrez Stone. Simply, it can absorb enemies into the Shaking Light Disc and then cast them into the fantasy world within the Megrez Stone."
Xiao Tian nodded calmly, finally understanding what Lei Tong had meant when he said that Daoist Tianxing sought him out because of the Megrez Stone.
Daoist Tianxing continued, "More complex and mystical uses include introducing powerful beings from within the Megrez Stone into the real world to assist in battle!"
This explanation was something Xiao Tian had never heard before, and if that was the case, then the Shaking Light Disc was indeed quite sharp!
Thinking of this, Xiao Tian asked, "Does it have any other functions?"
"Yes, it is said that during times of chaos, when demons were rampant, the Shaking Light Disc could be used to discern whether a being was human or demon," Daoist Tianxing answered honestly.
After receiving Daoist Tianxing’s answer, Xiao Tian did not pursue the matter further and directly asked, "So, where is the Shaking Light Disc now?"
"About thirty kilometers from here, according to my calculations, it should appear in about half a month," Celestial Punishment Daoist said lightly.
"Thank you!"
Xiao Tian gratefully clasped his hands toward Daoist Tianxing, and then he was about to leave the hall.
However, as he reached the door, he seemed to realize something, abruptly turned back, took a delicate little box from his chest, and handed it to Daoist Tianxing.
"This is the pill that Ghost Face promised to give you," Xiao Tian explained.
Daoist Tianxing took the box from Xiao Tian with a smile and asked, "Do you need us to provide any help?"
Xiao Tian thought for a moment but ultimately declined, "No need. This time, I can handle it on my own!"
After being refused, Daoist Tianxing didn’t seem too surprised and simply said to ask if any need arose, before watching Xiao Tian leave the hall.
After Xiao Tian left, Daoist Tianxing stood alone, feeling somewhat complicated as he couldn’t help but sigh — sometimes, people can’t be compared.
At least at this age, Xiao Tian was definitely the most outstanding young person he had ever seen!
In fact, Daoist Tianxing had initially planned to ask Xiao Tian about the Treasure Map but decided against it after witnessing his discourse.
Afterwards, Daoist Tianxing chose an appeasement approach without hesitation. For someone with such an unlimited future, the best way is to offer some help at crucial moments.
Daoist Tianxing knew well that helping in times of need was much better than adding to prosperity, so he wasn’t bothered by Xiao Tian’s refusal; providing help at crucial moments was enough.
Furthermore, regarding the actions of Lei Tong, he was well aware. No matter what, they were still members of the Kunlun Sect, so he let them be.
...
Not far from the Kunlun Sect’s meeting hall, Xiao Tian saw Lei Tong waiting in the distance.
Seeing Xiao Tian come out, Master Lei stepped forward and asked, "So, Xiao, the Sect Leader didn’t give you a hard time, right?"
Xiao Tian shook his head and briefly relayed his conversation with Daoist Tianxing to Lei Tong.
"It seems that the Sect Leader also holds Xiao in high regard," Master Lei commented after hearing Xiao Tian’s account.
But Daoist Tong was focused on something else and simply asked, "What you said in the meeting hall today..."
Xiao Tian explained, "What I said was true and quite feasible. The most important thing is that your Kunlun Sect’s Sect Leader is clearly adept at using others to do his bidding. Last time, he wanted to use Ghost Face’s hands to eliminate Celestial Punishment Daoist and your group."
"This time, he clearly wants me to provide him a reason to push for the Kunlun Sect’s development," Xiao Tian said, "But that’s understandable — those who are kind can’t lead troops, and those who are merciful can’t manage finances. Anyone else in his position would probably do the same!"
Lei Tong thoughtfully nodded, first breaking the rules set by Celestial Punishment Daoist, then seizing the opportunity to make a fortune — the Sect Leader is indeed very experienced!
This also indirectly showed that Daoist Tianxing’s previous indulgence and delegation to Daoist Celestial Punishment were not because he trusted him or didn’t want to deal with trivial matters.
Rather, he had long had a plan, just waiting for an opportunity to break the old order and reassert control over the Kunlun Sect!
Such calculative mind and depth, even Lei Tong wouldn’t dare claim to be a match for Daoist Tianxing!
