Chapter 1100 - 574: First Encounter with Luo Qin

Seeing Luo Chuan’s understanding of King Luo, Lan Hua looked at him curiously.

"Did you send someone to investigate King Luo? How are you so familiar with him?"

Faced with the question, Luo Chuan pursed his lips tightly and nodded after a while, "Yes, I sent someone to learn about him."

Lan Hua didn’t think much, just responded with a sound.

"It seems you’ve also found out about this. The Qingcheng Sect greatly supports Saint Ya and acts as her shield, at least ensuring her freedom in Ping City. If we want to stop her from cultivating this batch of death soldiers, we must destroy the Qingcheng Sect. I’ve been inquiring about this recently and have some preliminary clues."

Upon hearing her words, Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

"What clues?"

"The Qingcheng Sect is right in Ping City and they’ve also been recruiting recently. In three days, there’s a recruiting conference, and they’re going to participate."

Lan Hua finished speaking, and Bai Yu said to Gu Sheng, "I know about this recruiting conference. It’s attended by Jianghu people, many of whom have made their mark independently without belonging to any sect. They use this opportunity to connect with renowned sects, and if they see eye-to-eye, these people will be recruited into the sect. We’ve participated before."

"Is it here as well?"

"Not here. The recruiting conference is not fixed to be held in certain places, but it happens every year, and news will be released before it. Everyone will gather here at that time."

"Are there many skilled Jianghu people at the recruiting conference?"

Bai Yu thought for a while and then nodded.

"I think there are quite a lot, and some are already somewhat famous in Jianghu, just waiting for the chance to enter a renowned sect. The recruiting conference is this opportunity. A sect like the Qingcheng Sect, which is quite reputable, has a good chance of recruiting people. If Luo Qin uses King Luo’s name, they won’t lack recruits."

After Bai Yu finished speaking, Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

King Luo and Saint Ya are both recruiting. If they succeed, Saint Ya’s power will expand further. Once she cultivates two batches of death soldiers, never mind whether we can handle it, it’s definitely a huge threat to Jianghu people. After all, both are ambitious, and their target is the entire Jianghu. Once they have power, how could they allow others to have a foothold?

After thinking it over, Gu Sheng cast his gaze on Lan Hua.

"How do you plan to destroy this matter?"

"I haven’t figured it out yet. After all, I have no sect backing, and can’t recruit these people. All I can do is suppress them, make sure Luo Qin recruits fewer people, or use underhanded tactics to prevent these Jianghu people from reaching the venue."

"Your idea is unrealistic. Bai Yu just said many are already famous in Jianghu, and your people may not be able to suppress them."

"That’s why I said to use underhanded tactics. Otherwise, I have no way. After all, my master left me with only a few people, and even counting those I’ve recruited later, it’s just a few dozen. I’m good at gathering intelligence, but not at fighting."

At this, Lan Hua’s mood was visibly a bit downcast.

Seeing her like this, Hong Mei stepped forward and gently put her arm around her shoulder.

"Don’t worry, even if you can’t do it alone, you’re not alone now. You have us by your side, don’t you?"

Hearing Hong Mei’s words, Lan Hua felt warmed inside.

At this moment, Gu Sheng said, "Hong Mei is right. With us here, they can’t possibly succeed. Lan Hua, we need your people to relay intelligence. Once we have the information, leave the rest to us. We’ll take them down together."

With Gu Sheng’s words, Lan Hua instantly felt more confident.

"Alright. It’s said that Luo Qin will return to the residence these days to prepare for the recruitment. I’ll keep a close watch and inform you as soon as there’s news!"

"Recruitment preparations?"

After Gu Sheng asked, Bai Yu quickly took over the conversation.

"To recruit these reputable Jianghu people, all major sects need to prepare a meeting gift. This meeting gift is very important. If not properly prepared, even if someone comes for the sect, it might end on a sour note. Simply put, these Jianghu people have already made a name for themselves, and the major sects have to show sincerity if they want to recruit them. Insufficient sincerity won’t work."

Knowing this, Gu Sheng turned to look at Lan Yao.

Under his gaze, Lan Yao couldn’t help but feel amused.

"Go ahead, what do you want now?"

"Something with sincerity."

"How should I know what has sincerity?"

"If you don’t know, Bai Yu should know. Ask him."

"So? I’m footing the bill this time?"

"You have a big business, this won’t matter, right?"

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Lan Yao helplessly pinched his brow and turned to Bai Yu, "Go on, how much blood will you extract from me this time?"

"It’s not me asking for your blood, but Gu Sheng. But don’t rush; isn’t Luo Qin about to prepare soon? Let’s see what he prepares, and then we can outdo him."

"But he’s the son of King Luo. Are you sure you can outdo him?"

"Of course. King Luo has more than one son. Why can’t we outdo him? Besides, with you as a backer, and the Elf Clan having many treasures, we shouldn’t fear losing in this area, right?"

Looking at Luo Chuan, Lan Yao nodded helplessly.

"Alright, alright, then we’ll go with your plan."

Seeing him like this, Gu Sheng smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Don’t worry, you just handle providing the items, and I’ll compensate for the losses."
