Diverting trouble

Time flew by like a shuttle.

In an instant, three days had passed!

During these three days, the Twelve Demon Generals were quite content in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's territory, enjoying themselves so much that they forgot to return home.

Every day, they were waited on hand and foot.

They drank wine, chatted!

They found entertainment from time to time, living a very comfortable life.

So comfortable that they didn't even want to leave!

It is said that human joys and sorrows are not the same.

While the Twelve Demon Generals were comfortable, the people of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were miserable.

Oh heavens!

Oh earth!

Their Ten Thousand Swords Sect was, after all, a top force in the Northern Region.

However, a group of high-ranking officials were assigned to feed the Twelve Demon Generals.

Taking care of their daily lives and meals.

They had to be on call twenty-four hours a day.

They came to this Demon City to search for treasure!

But what had they become now?

They were almost nannies!

If it were just that, it would be fine.

The key was that the Twelve Demon Generals had poor drinking habits.

Once they got drunk, they would easily act crazy!

Once, Chicken One got drunk and insisted that a group of Ten Thousand Swords Sect high-ranking officials perform a show for him!

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciples thought to themselves that they couldn't do it!

The other party actually suggested that they all do a split!

Goodness!

What could they do?

They had to perform with tears in their eyes!

Similar incidents were countless.

The entire Ten Thousand Swords Sect was also thrown into chaos because of the Twelve Demon Generals.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect's high-ranking officials were worried!

If they continued to be messed with like this.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect might be ruined!

Just recently, some disciples had subtly suggested wanting to leave the sect.

The group of high-ranking officials were truly cornered.

They could only hide in a small secret room and secretly discuss countermeasures.

“Sect Master, please think of a solution!”

“The Ten Thousand Swords Sect is our home. If this continues, our home will be broken!”

An elder said heartbrokenly.

Sect Master Bai Wuxia said, “What can I do?”

“We are no match for any one of those twelve, not to mention, there is now a Scarecrow stationed here whom even they have to curry favor with!”

“Our Old Ancestor is still lying down and hasn't woken up yet.”

The Sect Master was also worried!

He felt extremely stifled!

Their Ten Thousand Swords Sect was a top force in the Northern Region.

Normally, they were the ones who threw their weight around; when had they ever been ridden roughshod over like this?

But unfortunately, they still had no way to deal with it.

The fundamental reason was that they couldn't win, they simply couldn't win.

The two sides were not on the same level at all.

“How about we escape!”

At this moment, an elder suggested.

“Anyway, this is just our Ten Thousand Swords Sect's temporary Station.”

“It doesn't matter if we abandon it. At most, we'll just find a new location to be stationed.”

“Moreover, this city is huge, and the demonic energy also has the function of blocking spiritual sense searches.”

“Presumably, as long as we escape, they shouldn't be able to find us for a short time!”

As soon as these words came out, many people showed signs of being moved.

However, they were quickly rejected by Sect Master Bai Wuxia!

“My Ten Thousand Swords Sect has a large family business!”

“All those brought this time are the elite high-ranking members of the sect, and we cannot afford to lose any of them.”

“If the entire sect retreats, it will definitely alert them, and then there will be a risk of backfiring.”

For a time, everyone fell silent.

A moment later, someone spoke again, “I observe that those few are quite playful and have endless energy, perhaps we can find a sect to distract them.”

“If they are interested in that sect and stay there for a long time, then we can take the opportunity to withdraw the entire sect and break free from their control!”

As soon as this idea came out, everyone's eyes lit up.

This plan of diverting disaster was brilliant!

With the general outline determined, the next step was the implementation of specific details.

First, the size of this sect could not be too small.

If the sect was too small, these few gentlemen might not be interested.

At the very least, it had to be on the same level as the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Secondly, the target could not be too far or too close to them. If it was too far, based on their understanding of those few, they might not even bother to go.

If it was too close, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would have difficulty relocating.

Furthermore, that sect must have something that would interest these gentlemen.

Everyone sifted through and picked.

Finally, they felt that the Four Seasons Sect was the most suitable.

The Four Seasons Sect, also a top force in the Northern Region, had a good relationship with the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

The two sides interacted quite frequently, and there were even quite a few disciples from both sects who became Dao Companions.

After the target was determined, Bai Wuxia hesitated.

“This Four Seasons Sect and our Ten Thousand Swords Sect can be considered brother sects.”

“Is it somewhat unethical to backstab brothers like this?”

“Oh my, my Sect Master, it is said that a dead fellow Daoist is better than a dead poor Daoist.”

“What are brothers for? Aren't they for backstabbing?”

“At this moment, preserving our Ten Thousand Swords Sect is the best strategy!”

An elder said anxiously.

After 0.03 seconds of agonizing struggle, Bai Wuxia finally chose to agree.

“No time to lose!”

“Please, Sect Master, depart immediately and save our Ten Thousand Swords Sect from this sea of suffering.”

“Good!”

This time, Bai Wuxia did not hesitate at all.

…

At this moment, the Twelve Demon Generals were drinking and having fun!

In front of them, rare delicacies and fine dishes were abundant, and various rare medicinal meals were laid out on the dining table.

There were hundreds of dishes in total.

There were also dedicated Ten Thousand Swords Sect elders responsible for feeding them.

Their lives could be described as extremely luxurious.

The Scarecrow, meanwhile, sat quietly on the long bench.

He was toying with a gold coin in his hand!

He gently blew on it.

“Clang…”

The crisp sound made him squint his eyes in happiness.

Then he solemnly placed it into the storage bag on his right waist.

Soon, he pulled out another gold coin from the storage bag on his left waist.

Blowing, listening, smiling, then placing it into the right storage bag!

He repeated this endlessly, yet never grew tired of it.

As if this was his greatest joy.

Of course, pleasure was only one aspect.

His main purpose was to sort out his assets.

This scene made Chicken One click his tongue in wonder.

He didn't know what magic a small gold coin possessed? Why could it make a being like the Scarecrow so obsessed.

However, he quickly felt relieved!

Everyone has different interests and hobbies.

Just as he liked mature women, what was wrong with that?

“Come, come, brothers, drink!”

Under his orchestration, the atmosphere at the table was very lively!

After three rounds of dishes and five tastes of wine!

Chicken One commented, “The dishes are good, but as for the wine? It's a bit disappointing!”

“But after all, it's a small sect, so it's good enough to have food and drink, no need to demand too much.”

As soon as his voice fell, a voice suddenly came from outside.

“Chicken Lord, the wine of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is indeed only average, it must have wronged you gentlemen.”

“However, I do know a place that has good wine.”

The person had not yet arrived, but his voice had.

It was none other than the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Bai Wuxia.

He had waited outside for a long time, precisely for this moment.

As he strode closer, Chicken One's eyes lit up.

“You know where there's good wine?”

“Speak quickly!”

“If what you say is true, Chicken Lord will reward you handsomely!”

“Chicken Lord, there is a sect called the Four Seasons Sect.”

“The sect has a wine called Four Seasons Wine!”

“It is a rare and precious brew made from spiritual objects gathered in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter!”

“This wine has a unique taste, is rare in the world, and it's difficult to produce even one jar in a hundred years.”

“It is rumored that Four Seasons Wine has four flavors: the warmth of spring, the coolness of summer, the crispness of autumn, and the chill of winter, blending the tastes of the four seasons into one.”

Hearing this, Chicken One couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Just listening to it made him eager to taste it.

“Where is this Four Seasons Sect?”

He asked impatiently.

“If Chicken Lord doesn't mind, I will immediately order someone to take you there!”

Bai Wuxia was excited in his heart.

It wasn't easy!

Finally, he could send these troublemakers away.
