The Demon God King's son-in-law
CHAPTER 220 | General Liu's Plan
At today's meeting, the sword of Hope sect was followed by the 6 beautiful women of the Holy Goddess, Dong Fang Yin, Mu Rong, Xie Lin, Chen Mulan and Gu Yan, respectively, as well as the 4 male elders Yang Fei, elder Dong Fang Lei, Xuan Yu and Prince Gu who had deliberately come upon hearing about Shen Long's arrival at the Eternal Mountain.
Shen Long then came to the main hall of the Sword Hope sect, all the sect leaders stood up as soon as they saw his arrival.
“Captain Sect” shouted them simultaneously.
“Sit” sahut Shen Long later.
Shen Long is welcome to sit on the main seat previously occupied by the Holy Goddess. While the Holy Goddess was now sitting to her right with a radiant face.
Seeing the face of the Holy Goddess that was different from before, made the envy of the other 5 beautiful women who put on a sour face. Shen Long who noticed that became a little unwell. But still trying to shake off his feelings and focus on today's conversation.
“Thank you for the arrival of all of your friends. I'm so grateful that you guys took the time to come see me today” Shen Long said
Shen Long then recounted the beginning of his return to this Sword of Hope sect and his current declining strength as his God power had been sealed.
The hearts of everyone in the place were furious at hearing the story from Shen Long, but the Rules of Heaven were clear. Although to the human world it does not make sense, but the rules were made so that the gods are not arbitrary with humans who are weaker than them.
“True. We all know the Rule of Heaven it was created was to keep the gods from being arbitrary towards humans who were much weaker than them” continued Shen Long
“Now let's focus on this moment. I need the efficacy of the red lotus and the spirit purification pond to cleanse and strengthen my spirit and soul. I want to do a seal of my heart and consciousness so that I can unlock 999 seals at the energy point in my body” Shen Long said back without informing about his plan in detail.
All the sect leaders listened to Shen Long's every word seriously. The Holy Goddess then stood up and revealed the plan she had planned yesterday.
“For that, I plan on us leaving for the White Skull sect and have them allow Shen Long to soak in the Spirit Refining pond. Otherwise, we will conquer the White Skull sect so that Shen Long can use the pond” the Holy Goddess excitedly said
“You guys don't need to do that” suddenly a voice is heard entering the main hall of the residence of the Sword of Hope sect.
Looks like General Liu came with Qian Wu to enter the main hall of the Sword of Hope sect
“General Liu” shouted some people in the room.
“Chairman Shen, I have invited Qian Wu from the White Skull sect to meet you” General Liu said
“Chairman Shen, give me a chance to speak with the sect master to allow you to use our Spirit Refining Pool” Qian Wu said in a salute
Shen Long's eyes implied a sense of excitement seeing Qian Wu coming to see her and being willing to help her, even though in the past she had once defeated her in a Liu kingdom martial arts fight.
“Brother Qian Wu, thank you for your help. We will wait for news from you next” said Shen Long.
After saluting, Qian Wu then bade her farewell and went to pass the matter to the White Skull sect head.
When Qian Wu left, General Liu was still there to discuss his next move.
Elder Dong Fang Lei and elder Yang Fei had known White Skull sect head Qian Shan a long time ago. Qian Shan was a person who was high-hearted and rigid to his principles so it was not easy to get along with the other sects.
“I understand it Goddess. The White Skull Sect was on Skull Hill, and there was a remote village very close to it. I mean we wait there to come up with a plan if Qian Wu fails to ask permission from his chairman” said General Liu
“I already told Qian Wu that Shen Long and I will be waiting for news from him in the village. But I didn't tell you all that would come there, either. So you guys should hide first just in case” continued General Liu
“General Liu is an expert in strategy. I agree with your plan” elder Yang Fei said later
All those in the main hall of the sect agreed with General Liu's plan including the Holy Goddess.
The next day Shen Long set out together with General Liu blatantly for a remote village near the White Skull sect, yet the other leaders of the Sword of Hope sect set out apart in disguise towards that remote village and hid there.
Upon arriving at the remote village, Shen Long and General Liu searched for a resting place for their residence while waiting for news from Qian Wu. The other leaders lived separately in the remote village and its surroundings.
The second day in the remote village, Qian Wu also still did not reveal herself. General Liu was already a little anxious about that.
“Shen, it looks like Qian Wu failed to ask permission from his sect head to give you the chance to use their Spirit Refining Pool” General Liu said.
“Good. Let's just wait. If today there is no news, tomorrow we both go to the residence of the White Skull sect” Shen Long said
Until nightfall, the news from Qian Wu did not come. General Liu and Shen Long later concluded that the head of the White Skull sect did not allow Shen Long to use their Spirit Refining Pool.
“Let's go together first to the White Skull sect residence to ask permission. Let our friends catch up secretly waiting for our sign to move” General Liu said
“Alright” said Shen Long agreed to it.
The two of them also left for Skull Hill which is the residence of the White Skull sect.
As the name suggests, Skull Hill is shaped like a human skull that has two caves there, one of which is the entrance to the Spirit Purification pond belonging to the White Skull sect.
A pavilion is seen on a very majestic hilltop surrounded by several surrounding buildings.
At the foot of the hill was a huge sect gate with the writing of the White Skull Sect on top of the gate and several guards standing there.
Shen Long and General Liu who had arrived in front of the gate immediately reported their arrival.
“We from the Sword of Hope sect would like to meet with the head of the White Skull sect, ” General Liu shouted at his guards.
The guards who saw their arrival immediately approached and one of them rushed to the top of the hill to report their arrival.
