Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 182

After several days of investigation, Xiao Fan had already figured out the man's identity: Kulai, the person in charge of the Earth Flame Sect in Xinlai City, a three-star Dou Wang powerhouse, and the undisputed leader of Xinlai City.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on him, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Kulai's small eyes, and a fake smile appeared on his broad face. He then slowly said, "You should all know why I have summoned you here today."

The people sitting below remained silent upon hearing Kulai's words. They knew all too well how cruel this seemingly kind-hearted middle-aged fat man could be.

Anyone who had been his enemy had now vanished without a trace. What he needed now was not their agreement, but simply to quietly await the other party's final decision.

"Chuan Gu City, Xin Lai City, and Zhong Sai City were originally cities built by our three sects together as resting places for the many rogue cultivators in the Black Corner Region. However, a year ago, Fan Lao, the sect leader of the Blood Sect, perished at Canaan Academy. Before his death, he entrusted the Blood Sect to us and the Eight Doors."

"Currently, the sect doesn't have enough manpower to provide support. As long as we make a great contribution in Chuan Gu City, then Chuan Gu City... hehe."

Kulai smiled mysteriously as he said this, but who were these people sitting below?

Those were all experts in this field, so they naturally understood what Kulai meant. Wasn't it that once the Gate of No Life was destroyed, wouldn't a new leader be needed for Chuan Gu City? At that time...

Thinking of this, the eyes of the people sitting below gradually became more and more fervent.

The city's resources are entirely at their disposal, and compared to their current status, there's an immeasurable amount of profit to be made. Although it can't compare to the profits of those large cities, for the people sitting here, it's already an enormous fortune.

Looking at the expressions of the crowd below, Kulai, standing on top, had a sly glint in his eyes. Did they really think they could get their hands on such a big cake?

Once we take over Kawaya Castle, it will be up to me to decide how the spoils are distributed.

However, this attack was a joint effort between the Earth Flame Sect and the Eight Gates. It's hard to say which side will achieve more, or who will ultimately win the Chuangu City. So right now, Kulai needs everyone's help to deal with the Wusheng Sect first.

Looking at the greedy faces of the crowd, Kulai said, "According to our investigation, the strength of the Wusheng Sect is not to be underestimated. There are no fewer than five people at the Dou Wang level. This time, we are joining forces with the Eight Doors. Whoever achieves greater success will have the right to claim Chuan Gu City. Do you all understand?"

"In addition, tomorrow, headquarters will send an elder to support us. We will have to rely on you all then."

"Haha, Lord Kulai, rest assured, we will do our utmost."

Among the crowd, a middle-aged man with short hair stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Kulai, and said excitedly.

"Yes, yes, your subordinate will do his best and will not let the Eight Doors steal the credit that belongs to us."

Looking at the chattering crowd, Kulai smiled slightly, a sinister glint flashing in his narrow eyes as he observed the expressions of the people below.

It seems there are still some people here harboring ulterior motives. In that case, this time, I'll just have to make you suffer... and die!

Kulai had his own plans for those who did not support him. Besides seizing the benefits of Daochuan Valley City, this opportunity was also an effective way for him to eliminate his rivals.

Thinking of this, Kulai's smile became even brighter.

In the corner, a dark flame pattern flashed, and Xiao Fan, who was hidden in the shadows, quietly opened his eyes.

His gaze shifted away from the Earth Flame Sect branch ahead.

"Are we going to take action tomorrow?"

The people in that hall were basically the elite forces of the Earth Flame Sect in Xinlai City. There were three Dou Wang level experts, among whom Kulai was the person in charge who had been stationed in Xinlai City. The other two were temporary reinforcements transferred from surrounding territories.

Judging from what Kulai said, it seems that there will be support from headquarters tomorrow. It looks like tomorrow is destined to be anything but simple.

Chapter 272 War begins

When Xiao Fan returned to his room, he ran into Zi Yan and You Ruo, who had disappeared again.

The two had just returned to their room when Xiao Fan bumped into them.

Upon seeing Xiao Fan, Zi Yan nervously put her hands behind her back, which caught Xiao Fan's attention.

"What are you hiding?"

Looking at Zi Yan, whose face was full of guilt, Xiao Fan looked behind her with suspicion.

"nothing."

Zi Yan gave Xiao Fan a mischievous look, then turned her eyes away and slipped into the room.

Xiao Fan glanced at Zi Yan, who was avoiding him, and then turned his gaze to You Ruo.

You Ruo glanced at Xiao Fan with her long, narrow eyes, but didn't say anything. She just smiled and said, "What, are you going to investigate me again?"

"Uh......"

Xiao Fan looked at You Ruo in front of him, scratched his head, and then didn't dwell on what the two of them were doing. He simply said softly, "They should take action tomorrow. Then let's head to Chuan Gu City."

"Ah."

You Ruo responded faintly, then said softly, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Xiao Fan glanced at her, then smiled and said, "Good night."

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, You Ruo, who had a calm expression, felt a strange sensation, but she was not averse to them. She nodded slightly and then walked towards her and Zi Yan's room.

Just as Xiao Fan was feeling down, an almost inaudible sound came from the door that was about to close.

"Good night."

With a smile playing on his lips, Xiao Fan returned to his room with a cheerful expression.

In You Ruo and Zi Yan's room, Zi Yan looked at You Ruo as she entered and peeked out from behind the curtain: "Sister You Ruo, you didn't let something slip, did you?"

"Don't worry, but why did you keep it from him?"

You Ruo shook her head, then asked Zi Yan with a puzzled look.

Upon hearing Youruo's words, Ziyan tilted her head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Well... I'm afraid he'll get angry. After all, what we're doing might affect his plans."

Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, You Ruo reached out her slender hand and gently rubbed Zi Yan's head, then said with a doting expression, "I'm here for you."

His tone was full of doting affection and unspoken confidence.

......

The next morning, without needing to consciously perceive anything, Xiao Fan noticed the changes in the newly arrived city.

After all, besides him, there were many other people who were also paying attention to the movements of the Earth Flame Sect. After all, the Earth Flame Sect was a one-man show in Xinlai City, and everyone was watching the direction of the Earth Flame Sect.

Only in this way can we seize the opportunities that others overlook.

Therefore, as soon as the disciples of the Earth Flame Sect took action, those who had been paying close attention to their forces within the city all sprang into action.

After all, the news that the Earth Flame Sect and the Eight Doors were about to attack the Lifeless Sect had already spread, and anyone who wanted to find out could easily find out.

Now that the disciples of the Earth Flame Sect have finally taken action, it naturally cannot be kept secret from everyone.

"It seems that the Earth Flame Sect and the Eight Doors are going to make a move against the Lifeless Sect."

"Yes, the Wusheng Sect is one of the few sources of resources for us rootless and adrift cultivators. It seems we still can't get past these powerful forces."

Among the independent cultivators, there were some who clearly understood the situation and expressed their own views on the conflict between the Wusheng Sect and the two other sects.

"Hehe, aren't all these forces the same? Who cares about the life or death of us rogue cultivators? If you want to obtain resources, you can only join them. Heretics like the Wusheng Sect are destined to be suppressed by them."

After a large number of Di Yan Sect disciples left Xinlai City, many independent cultivators in Xinlai City exchanged glances quietly, and then, unknowingly, slowly approached the location of the Di Yan Sect branch.

"Haha, interesting."

With a sweep of his soul power, Xiao Fan quickly ascertained the strength of the remaining forces within the Earth Flame Sect. Among those who remained, the strongest among them was only a five-star Dou Ling.

Among the crowd gradually approaching the Earth Flame Sect branch, although none were stronger than the other side, their sheer numbers made them less of a concern for Xiao Fan.

"I wonder if they were just opportunistic rogue cultivators taking advantage of the chaos, or if they were hired rogue cultivators..."

Xiao Fan glanced at the crowd approaching the Earth Flame Sect branch, a hint of curiosity on his face. He then shook his head and led You Ruo and Zi Yan towards the location of Chuan Gu City.

After all, the elite troops of the Earth Flame Sect branch have already been sent out. With Xiao Fan and his group's strength, staying here would be a waste of their talents.

"Let's go, let's go and see the strength of the Earth Flame Sect."

Within the Gate of No Life in Chuan Valley City.

At this moment, Xiao Yan, Lin Xiuya, Wu Hao, and others were discussing something. Suddenly, Xiao Yan paused and frowned.

"what happened?"

Seeing Xiao Fan's actions, Lin Xiuya and the others asked curiously, and then, as if they had realized something, said, "The Eight Doors have arrived?"

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's more than that."

Xiao Yan smiled faintly. As his words fell, Lin Xiuya and the others also sensed the aura of a large group of powerful figures coming from afar.

"Let's go out and greet our old friend."

Xiao Yan smiled faintly, then narrowed his eyes and landed on the city wall of Chuan Gu City.

Lin Xiuya and the others followed behind Xiao Yan, their faces solemn as they gazed at the empty space in front of Chuan Gu City.

The once empty space is now neatly divided into two distinct factions, each dressed differently.

"Hehe, I wonder what business the friends from the Eight Doors and the Earth Flame Sect have in my Chuan Valley City?"

Having already donned a mask to conceal his face, Xiao Yan gazed at the crowd below and spoke calmly, emanating a fierce and bloodthirsty aura.

"Heh, so you're the leader of the Wusheng Sect? I never imagined that such a powerful sect like Wusheng would be led by such a cowardly coward."

Kulai stepped out from the crowd of the Earth Flame Sect, looked at the masked figure on the city wall, and laughed loudly.

"Hmph! Kulai, why waste your breath on them? If you ask me, just wipe out the Wusheng Sect. They're just a new force, don't they know their place?"

As soon as Kulai finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a black robe stepped out from among the eight gates, looking coldly at the Wushengmen members in front of him, and said in an icy tone.

Kulai looked at the man who walked out of the eight doors, narrowed his slender eyes, and then said with a smile, "Hehe, Brother Beihai is right. In that case, let's let our strength speak for itself."

The middle-aged man known as Beihai glanced at Kulai indifferently, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. Kulai was nothing more than someone who was good at using underhanded methods; such a person was not worthy of his attention.

Looking at the members of the Wusheng Sect, Beihai said calmly, "Kulai, I hope you won't resort to any tricks. This is a decision made by the high-ranking members of both sects."
