109: Conspiracy exposed

While the outside world was in chaos, Zhang Daobai's life over the past few days had been quite leisurely.

It was as if he was separated from the outside world, living in two different realms.

Inside the Alchemy room, Zhang Daobai skillfully controlled the Spiritual Fire, refining Medicinal Pills.

In recent days, as the battlefield near the Yinyue Mountain Range grew increasingly fierce, the market price of Medicinal Pills remained high, and even rose further.

Although Zhang Daobai now possessed considerable wealth, he would never easily give up an opportunity to make a huge profit.

After refining this batch of Medicinal Pills, Zhang Daobai estimated that the time was right and stopped refining them.

After closing the furnace and extinguishing the fire, Zhang Daobai stood up, slapped a Body Cleansing Talisman onto himself, and then left the Alchemy room.

After stepping out of the room, Zhang Daobai headed to the pavilion, skillfully brewed a pot of Spiritual Tea, and then placed some Spirit Fruits on the table.

Just as he finished all this, the warning Formation of the Immortal Cave transmitted a message.

Sensing this, Zhang Daobai immediately took out his Control Jade Token, deactivated the Formation, and let Mu Lingxi enter.

Mu Lingxi quickly pushed open the courtyard gate, saw Zhang Daobai, and hurried over.

"Brother Daobai! Something huge has happened!"

Before she even got close, Mu Lingxi exclaimed loudly, her expression surprised and her tone excited.

Hearing this, Zhang Daobai's hand, which was pouring tea, paused slightly, and he turned to look at Mu Lingxi.

Seeing that Mu Lingxi's face only showed excitement and lacked any anxiety or distress, he immediately felt relieved.

"Brother Daobai! Something major happened today over at the Yinyue Mountain Range!" Mu Lingxi said impatiently after approaching.

Zhang Daobai heard this, calmly placed a teacup in front of Mu Lingxi, and softly said, "No rush, sit down first and tell me."

Seeing Zhang Daobai's composed expression, the excitement in Mu Lingxi's heart settled down considerably. She straightened her skirt and sat down by the stone table.

After picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Mu Lingxi finally spoke: "Brother Daobai, Mother just came back and told me something huge!"

"Today, the Demon Slaying Alliance discovered a massive conspiracy by the Evil Cultivators in the Yinyue Mountain Range! Those Evil Cultivators actually set up a super evil Formation there. It is said that even a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator who enters it will be refined."

"After the Demon Slaying Alliance discovered this conspiracy, they immediately withdrew from the Yinyue Mountain Range, but they didn't completely retreat; instead, they surrounded the Evil Cultivators."

"And when the Evil Cultivators realized their conspiracy was exposed, they stopped pretending, revealed that Zhou Tian Blood Refining Array, and started shouting that the Demon Slaying Alliance members are a bunch of cowards..."

While Mu Lingxi excitedly recounted this explosive news, Zhang Daobai frowned.

The matter concerning the Zhou Tian Blood Refining Array and the Evil Cultivator Alliance's plan was something he had revealed ahead of time.

Logically, the Demon Slaying Alliance's response should have been to pretend ignorance, secretly take precautions, sabotage the enemy's plan, or even use their own scheme against them to counter-scheme the Evil Cultivators.

But at this critical final moment, why would they expose this news?

Once this news was exposed, it was a bad situation for both the Demon Slaying Alliance and the Evil Cultivator Alliance; it was disadvantageous to both sides.

'Was this done intentionally by someone, or was it revealed accidentally?'

Zhang Daobai frowned slightly, unconsciously tapping his knee with his fingertips, constantly making guesses in his mind.

However, the way those Evil Cultivators handled the situation after the news was exposed was interesting.

Not only did they not continue to conceal it, but they openly displayed it.

They clearly told the Demon Slaying Alliance, "Come if you dare."

Furthermore, the ripening of the yin yang harmony fruit was imminent. If the Demon Slaying Alliance did not intervene, the Evil Cultivators would be able to obtain the yin yang harmony fruit without any pressure.

Once those Evil Cultivators digested the yin yang harmony fruit, their high-level strength would surge significantly.

This would undoubtedly place immense pressure on the Demon Slaying Alliance.

However, if they went to stop the Evil Cultivators from obtaining the yin yang harmony fruit, it would be exactly what the Evil Cultivators wished for—no different from walking into a trap—and everything would seem to return to square one.

It must be said that this was a straightforward Open Conspiracy, clearly designed to force the Demon Slaying Alliance to intervene.
