Chapter 559: Guangxiao's "Evil Monk" Bewitches Medicine Sect
"My Lords, we have no intention of stopping you, but... the situation is turbulent, so we have to be cautious."

"Please enter the valley, the master has been waiting for a long time."

Upon seeing this, the disciples of Yaowang Sect hurried forward. One of them, a middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader, bowed and said with a complicated expression.

Yao Guangxiao and Wu Wudi smiled at each other, nodded, and then led everyone into Yaowang Valley.

Inside the valley, the scenery is more pleasant, the aroma of medicine is more intense, and the exquisite pavilions are hidden among the green trees, making it particularly quiet.

Led by the leader of Yaowang Sect, the group came to the sect's meeting hall.

In the hall, the aroma of tea was wafting, and all the top leaders of Yaowang Sect had arrived, and the atmosphere was solemn.

The two sides took their seats as host and guest, and the atmosphere became a little subtle for a moment.

The leader of the hall was an old man with white hair and beard, who had an aura of majesty without even getting angry. He was none other than Yao Zhuling, the leader of the Yaowang Sect and a well-known master-level warrior in the martial arts world of the Daqian Dynasty.

Of course, what made him famous was not his fighting ability or alchemy skills, but his ability to survive!
As a master-level internal force practitioner, he is old enough to be the ancestor of most master-level internal force practitioners.

Even most of the celestial cultivators at a lower level cannot survive like him!
"It is an honor for our sect that you two gentlemen have come to visit our Medicine King Valley. I wonder what the purpose of your visit is?"

Yao Zhuling slowly stood up and walked towards Yao Guangxiao and Wu Wudi. His old voice was steady and powerful, and he was obviously an old man with broad knowledge and rich experience.

"Master Yao, you are too kind. We are here only to convey the intention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We are willing to seek common development with the Yaowang Sect and fight against foreign enemies together."

"I believe that Master Yao is also aware that the current situation in the Daqian Dynasty is changing rapidly, and the Dantian Merchant Alliance is also in turmoil. There are foreign countries eyeing it covetously, and the Yellow Turban bandits are wreaking havoc inside."

Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly, twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand, and whispered.

"Mr. Yao, Mr. Wu, we already know the purpose of your visit."

"But the situation within the Dantian Merchant Alliance is complicated. We need to consider many factors before we can make a decision."

Yao Zhuling spoke slowly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Master Yao is absolutely right. We understand your sect's difficulties."

"However, the current situation in the world is unpredictable. Only by following the general trend can we remain invincible."

"The Cangzhou Army is willing to join hands with your clan to create brilliance together. I hope Master Yao will think twice."

Yao Guangxiao gently twisted the Buddhist beads and smiled.

Wu Wudi on the side said nothing, but just sipped his tea silently. His sharp eyes glanced around from time to time, as if he was evaluating the strength and attitude of the Yaowang Sect.

Upon hearing this, Yao Zhuling was silent for a moment, his eyes moving back and forth between Yao Guangxiao and Wu Wudi, as if weighing the pros and cons.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became more subtle, and the high-ranking officials of Yaowang Sect exchanged glances, each with their own thoughts.

Seeing this, Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly. He knew it was time to show his true abilities.

"Ding! Yao Guangxiao's skill Demon Monk is activated!
Demonic Monk: The demon monk in black, with cunning strategies, is called Guangxiao. He is in charge of three families and plans to rule the world. This is the exclusive skill of the demon monk in black, Yao Guangxiao.

Effect 1: The cunning man in black, with wisdom as vast as the sea. When fighting or planning, Yao Guangxiao's intelligence will be increased by 2 points, and if he can see through the enemy's wisdom, he will suppress the enemy's intelligence by 1 point.

Effect 2: The heart moves at will. When Yao Guangxiao is trying to persuade or lobby, his charm value will instantly increase by 3 points, increasing the other party's trust level and reducing the other party's intelligence by 3 points.

Effect 3: Plan carefully and win a battle thousands of miles away. When planning a strategy, Yao Guangxiao can predict the enemy's movements and make arrangements in advance, which will increase the commander's command value by 1 point and suppress the enemy's commander's intelligence by 1 point. Effect 4: Chain tricks and outsmart the heroes. In the battle of wits, each of Yao Guangxiao's tricks can be linked together, which will continuously increase his own intelligence by 2 points and suppress the enemy's group intelligence by 1 point.
Yao Guangxiao's current basic intelligence is 102. When the skill Demon Monk takes effect, his intelligence value increases by 2 points. When the skill Demon Monk takes effect three times, his intelligence value decreases by 3 points.

Yao Guangxiao’s current intelligence value has risen to 104!

The current Yao Zhuling intelligence value has dropped to 87!"

Gently putting down the Buddhist beads in his hand, Yao Guangxiao stood up and slowly walked to the center of the hall. His eyes swept over everyone present. His voice was not loud, but every word was clear, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

"Master Yao, elders, I believe you are more aware than us of the changing situation in the Daqian Dynasty. Hengzhou Pass, once a strong fortress, is now like a chicken and a dog under the iron hoof of the Cangzhou army. This is not only a military victory, but also a general trend and the will of the people."

Yao Guangxiao's words revealed a strong confidence in the Cangzhou Army. As a member of the Cangzhou Army, he controlled most of Su Ye's intelligence system.

Yao Guangxiao knew better than anyone what kind of amazing power Cangzhou or Su Ye now held.

The current foundation of Cangzhou is not much different from the heyday of the five great dynasties when they were founded.

Therefore, Yao Guangxiao was very confident at this time.

"My Lord Su Ye is a man of great talent, both in literature and in war, with great ambitions and the goal of conquering the world."

"Therefore, he is willing to extend an olive branch and join hands with famous sects like the Medicine King Sect to plan a great plan together."

Yao Guangxiao paused and continued.

"Master Yao, you are a master-level expert, you are well-informed and you naturally understand that in this chaotic world, choice is more important than hard work."

"Choosing the right ally means choosing a glorious future. I believe that for Yaowang Sect, there will be no better choice than the Cangzhou Army."

At this point, Yao Guangxiao's tone suddenly changed, becoming gentle and sincere.

Upon hearing this, Yao Zhuling frowned slightly, as if thinking about what Yao Guangxiao said.

He knew that what Yao Guangxiao said was true. The rapid fall of Hengzhou's majestic pass, Tianqian Pass, had indeed shocked all the forces in Hengzhou.

The strength currently demonstrated by the Cangzhou Army should not be underestimated.

"Mr. Yao, we have already felt your sincerity."

"But the Medicine King Sect has been passed down for thousands of years and has a profound foundation. We need to be responsible for the future of the sect and cannot make a decision lightly."

Yao Zhuling spoke slowly, with a hint of hesitation in his tone.

"Master Yaozong, you are right. The inheritance of Yaowang Sect cannot be lost."

"But have you ever thought that if the Medicine King Sect chooses to close itself off in this chaotic world, it may be able to survive for a while, but in the long run, it is a slow suicide."

Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly, as if he had already anticipated Yao Zhuling's reaction. He changed the subject and began to use both soft and hard tactics.

"Look at the Dantian Merchant Alliance. It is in turmoil internally and under great external pressure. Without the support of strong allies, it will be difficult to maintain the status quo."

"And if Yaowang Sect can form an alliance with the Cangzhou Army, not only can it obtain the protection of His Royal Highness, but it can also use the power of the Cangzhou Army to expand the influence of the sect. Why not do it?"
