257 Prepare for Battle!"G-Guardian Spirit?"Liu Lanzhi asked, hoping that Elder Wandid not think too deeply about her shockedreaction just now. Even better if he missedit.However, Elder Wan was already laughingand dancing in his heart after seeing LiuLanzhi's reaction, as he is almost certainthat Liu Lanzhi is aware of the GuardianSpirit."That's right. The Million Snakes Sect iscurrently searching for a Guardian Spirit,and seeing your reaction just now, you mustknow something about it, right?"Elder Wan asked her."No..." Liu Lanzhi could hear her heartbeating like war drums. However, shemanaged to remain a calm face and said, "Iwas just surprised by the words 'GuardianSpirit."And she continued, "Has the Million SnakesSect found a Guardian Spirit?Congratulations."Elder Wan chuckled and said, "Although wehave indeed found ourselves a GuardianSpirit, we have not captured it yet.However, the Million Snakes Sect will doeverything in its power to get their handson it."Elder Wan decided to play to Liu Lanzhi'stune, but he did not forget to indirectlythreaten her by letting her know that theMillion Snakes Sect is taking this mattervery seriously."Is that so? But what does the MillionSnakes Sect want our Profound BlossomSect to do to help?" Liu Lanzhi asked."It's simple, really. We are not asking theProfound Blossom Sect to join our searches,but we will greatly appreciate it if you cannotify us if anyone sees a white baby tiger.Of course, we aren't asking you to help usfor free. Once we find the Guardian Spirit,we will greatly reward the ProfoundBlossom Sect for their cooperation."Liu Lanzhi nodded and said, "I will notifymy disciples and tell them to be on thelookout,""Oh, one more thing."Elder Wan suddenly said, "If you find theGuardian Spirit and hide it from us and wefind out, it won't be a pretty day for eitherof us..."Liu Lanzhi narrowed her eyes and said, "Ithought it was common sense that youshould not threaten someone right afterasking for their help."Elder Wan chucked and said, "Do not takethat offensively, fellow Daoist. It is merely awarning just in case someone has any funnyideas.""Anyway, now that I have nothing left to say,I should take my leave."Elder Wan turned around and left theProfound Blossom Sect, quicklydisappearing from Liu Lanzhi's sight.Once they were certain that Elder Wan hadleft, Elder Wu coldly snorted, "What anarrogant and rude individual. Sect Master,let's forget about them and not help them."Liu Lanzhi shook her head and said, "Hemay be an asshole, but he has the ability tobe one. In the Western Region, the MillionSnakes Sect stands at the top. For them toeven notice us is already a great honor.""What about the Guardian Spirit? If there'sreally a Guardian Spirit in the vicinity, I amafraid that a war would break out and wemight get caught up in it..."Because Elder Wu isn't aware of Xiao Bai'spresence, she has no idea about thesituation."About that..."Liu Lanzhi sighed, feeling perplexed.If the Million Snake Sect learns that theyhave Xiao Bai, it would be disastrous for theentire Profound Blossom Sect, and LiuLanzhi won't be willing to sacrifice herentire sect and its every disciple, even if it'sfor a Guardian Spirit."If only Xiao Bai is matured... Butunfortunately, I cannot wait an entiremonth for her to grow up with the MillionSnakes Sect actively searching around thisplace. I will have to let Xiao Bai go as soonas possible..." Liu Lanzhi sighed again."Fang Zhelan will not like this news onebit..."Liu Lanzhi turned to look at the directionof the Chamber of Embrace, feelingregretful about the whole situation.Suddenly, a powerful ripple appeared,spreading across the land at a rapid pace."Oh no!" Liu Lanzhi's face instantly paledwhen she realized what was causing theripple."It's happening again... what is this ripplethat contains a profound feeling? It alsoappeared four days ago." Elder Wuwondered as the ripples swept across herbody, causing her body to tremble slightly.Indeed, it was Xiao Bai who caused theripples to appear. Because it has been fourdays since she was last fed the Seven SilverBlades, Fang Zhelan fed another one to hertoday before leaving for the Chamber ofEmbrace to meet with Su Yang."This must be the reason why the MillionSnakes Sect chose to appear in this area!They also sensed Xiao Bai's Profound Qifour days ago!"Liu Lanzhi didn't know what to do at thismoment and could only stay standing there.There was no way the Million Snakes Sectwould not notice this when they are soclose - especially when Elder Wan had leftnot too long ago.After pondering for a moment, Liu Lanzhibit her lips and shouted at Elder Wu,"Immediately gather all of the sect eldersand disciples at the Center Court andprepare for battle! The Million Snakes Sectwill be here at any moment!""E-Excuse me...?"Elder Wu stood there with a dazedexpression. She wasn't able to comprehendwhy Liu Lanzhi would be saying such thingsbut nobody could blame her, as anyone inher situation would be shocked anddumbfounded."Hurry up and just do as I say! It's an order!"After saying those words, Liu Lanzhi rantowards Fang Zhelan's living quarters,leaving Elder Wu standing there, lookinglike a dazed chicken.Meanwhile, Elder Wan, who had just leftthe Profound Blossom Sect notified theSect Master of the Millions Snake Sect ofthe ripple in the air."It's confirmed. The Profound Blossom Secthas the white tiger in their possession.""Good, good, good! You know what to do,Elder Wan! I will leave everything in yourhands!"The Sect Master's delightful voice could beheard from the communication jade slip.A few moments later, Elder Wan along withthe other experts from the Million SnakesSect approached the Profound BlossomSect, and surrounding them was an aura ofbloodlust.
