Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

"Just stay hidden behind them! Let the other masters from the Buddhist Sect make the move! This point is crucial. I implore you, Senior Brother, to take it seriously!"

After finishing the letter, Xu Lei sent it to Hui Ming via carrier pigeon.

Over the past ten years, Xu Lei had naturally gone to find Hui Ming. Hui Ming had since returned to Longyuan Temple, and Xu Lei had a special carrier pigeon just for contacting him.

After sending that letter, Xu Lei began writing another.

This time, he was writing to the Liang Family near Longyuan Temple—the descendants of the late Liang Fangying.

During his trips to find Hui Ming over the past decade, Xu Lei had come into contact with these descendants of his. He had even helped them with some business difficulties, becoming their family’s benefactor.

Xu Lei had arranged for them to be on standby. The moment his carrier pigeon arrived, they were to go to the temple and check if Hui Ming was in the middle of Cultivation.

After all, Xu Lei was worried that if Hui Ming was in secluded Cultivation when the pigeon arrived, it would be quite troublesome.

This world had no cell phones, after all. Carrier pigeons were the fastest method of communication.

If Hui Ming really was in seclusion, Xu Lei would have no choice but to make a trip to the Buddhist Sect’s Head Temple himself.

The carrier pigeon was quite fast.

By the afternoon of the second day, Xu Lei had received a reply.

Hui Ming was not in seclusion.

He had replied immediately upon receiving Xu Lei’s letter.

He also said that after sending his reply, he would go directly to find the other masters of the Buddhist Sect.

After reading the letter, Xu Lei burned it.

Then, Xu Lei simply began to quietly observe how things developed.

If he could make the tiger devour the wolf without having to act himself, Xu Lei would naturally choose not to.

’The Old Daoist Nun and Hui Cheng must die!’

’But killing them myself isn’t the only way!’

Of course, it was hard to say whether Hui Cheng and the Old Daoist Nun would actually die when Hui Ming arrived with the masters.

If Hui Cheng and the Old Daoist Nun were sensible and didn’t try to fight for the Black Flood Dragon’s Demon Core, the upper echelons of the Buddhist Sect would naturally find it difficult to act against them, as they were also human.

’Should I think of some other way to further intensify the conflict between Hui Cheng, the Old Daoist Nun, and the powerful experts from the Buddhist Sect’s leadership?’

Xu Lei considered it, but on second thought, he abandoned the idea.

’When the Buddhist Sect’s leaders arrive, my little tricks could easily be seen through. There’s no need to show off my paltry skills before an expert.’

’Besides, the more I interfere, the greater the chance that Hui Cheng and the Old Daoist Nun will discover me.’

’Once they find out I’m Hui Chi, it’s hard to say if they’ll take their anger out on Zhi Jian’s Family.’

’And as for the Mu Prince’s Mansion, it’s also hard to say if they’ll uncover my connection to them.’

After all, Xu Lei had traveled with Mu Yao back in the day. Even though it was more than a decade ago, there was no guarantee it wouldn’t be discovered.

Therefore, to avoid implicating those around him, Xu Lei decided to stick to his initial plan for the time being.

Meanwhile, Hui Cheng and the Old Daoist Nun had also begun to react.

That day, the Old Daoist Nun came to the Prince’s Mansion again.

Her expression was awful.

She channeled a sliver of Magical Power to activate the Gu Insect inside the Mu Prince’s Mansion’s Crown Prince, causing him to wake up and run around in a frenzy.

Only then did she knock him unconscious again.

Then she told Mu Yao that the Crown Prince’s situation was urgent and could not be delayed.

She ordered Mu Yao to immediately use all her power and influence, by any means necessary, to transport the Child Maidens over.

Xu Lei guessed that Hui Cheng and the Old Daoist Nun must have returned to the underwater cavern.

’And the Elder Dragon, from whom I swindled a few Dragon Crystals, must have told Hui Cheng and the Old Daoist Nun about my arrival.’

’The Elder Dragon definitely doesn’t recognize me or know who I am, but it would certainly have mentioned that another human Cultivator broke in.’

’It would be for the best if the human Cultivators could be made to kill each other. Even if that doesn’t happen, it would still throw Hui Cheng and the Old Daoist Nun into disarray.’

"Listen to her!" Xu Lei said, his face like ice as he felt the damage the Gu Insect was inflicting on his son’s body. "For now, focus all your efforts on gathering the Child Maidens!"

"But don’t actually transport them here!"

"Stall for as much time as you can!"

"This matter will likely be resolved in the next day or two!"

"By then, they should no longer have any need for these Child Maidens."

That was right; Xu Lei still hadn’t removed the Gu Insect from his son’s body.

Doing so would certainly alert the Old Daoist Nun.

It would let her know that the Cultivator who had informed on them and ruined their plans was connected to the Mu Prince’s Mansion.

That would make it even more likely for the entire Mu Prince’s Mansion to be stained with negative karma.

After all, the Old Daoist Nun and Hui Cheng were very old, and with their current Cultivation, their hopes of attaining the Dao were slim.

And Xu Lei had killed all their children.

It was possible they would truly throw all caution to the wind and retaliate madly.

So, even though Xu Lei’s heart ached for his son, he couldn’t destroy and remove the Gu Insect just yet.

For the next few days, his son would just have to endure it.

There was no other way. He couldn’t put all his other children in danger just for the sake of one son’s health.

Mu Yao, of course, listened to Xu Lei. She immediately began the operation to gather the Child Maidens with all her might.

Because of this, she also had a legitimate reason to mobilize a large number of the Prince’s Mansion’s troops to the area.

If the Old Daoist Nun and Hui Cheng really tried to do something to the Prince’s Mansion, they would get a taste of what it was like to be besieged by soldiers and have their Magical Power rapidly drained.

These troops were also a form of deterrence against them!

Generally speaking, Cultivators who still longed for longevity would not directly confront a Prince’s Mansion protected by troops.

Of course, they would be wary. But that didn’t mean the Prince’s Mansion could recklessly provoke and anger them.

If they were truly enraged, they wouldn’t slaughter the large number of soldiers. Instead, they might go on a frenzy of assassinating the core members of the Prince’s Mansion.

In the blink of an eye, several more hours passed.

Xu Lei had not left the Mu Prince’s Mansion.
