Chapter 1224 Hidden Plan

As a soul beast transformed into a human, Wang Qiu'er did not need to worry about soul rings, so her cultivation level had already broken through to level 83.

I believe that I will catch up with Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan and the other girls soon.

"How do you think we should deal with the Holy Spirit's teachings to the Tang Clan?"

Tang Lan drank a cup of tea, and then suddenly asked Wang Qiu'er this question.

Wang Qiu'er's answer was simple: "What else can we do? Kill them first. They are evil spirit masters who commit all kinds of evil deeds. They are human monsters who completely regard human life as worthless!"

This is a consensus among everyone in the Soul Master world, after all, there have been instances throughout the history of the Soul Master world where evil Soul Masters have massacred villages and cities.

In the end, these evil spirit masters all joined the Holy Spirit Cult in order to rely on the powerful tree.

But only Tang Lan knew that the so-called evil soul masters, or even the few soul masters in the Holy Spirit Cult who were forced to join the Holy Spirit Cult by external forces, were actually a minority.

Take Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, for example. These two aren't ruthless killers; they're just pitiful people who were manipulated.

But how many people in the entire Soul Master world truly know the hidden truth?

After careful consideration, Tang Lan decided that she should not wipe out everyone in the Holy Spirit Cult.

Tang Lan then came up with an idea, raised her head and said to Wang Qiu'er, "Are you interested in coming with me to infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult and find out what's going on?"

"I'm really curious to see what they're planning to do next!"

"Rather than letting our subordinates take risks, we should do it ourselves."

Tang Lan said with a smile.

"Wha, what?"

"You said you wanted to personally infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult!?"

"No, this is absolutely not allowed. You are now the leader of the Tang Clan, the spiritual pillar of everyone in the entire Tang Clan."

"Putting oneself in a dangerous situation is irresponsible to oneself and to the Tang Clan."

To everyone's surprise, Wang Qiu'er, who usually doted on Tang Lan, shook her head with a firm look in her eyes.

She did not agree with Tang Lan going to the Holy Spirit Cult in person, because Tang Lan needed to stay and oversee the Tang Clan, only in this way could the Tang Clan truly be the number one Tang Clan in the world.

Everyone's extreme confidence stemmed entirely from Tang Lan, their god-like leader.

"No, you are wrong!"

"The confidence and glory of the Tang Clan disciples should not rest on my shoulders, but on the Tang Clan as a whole!"

"Don't worry, even without me, the others can hold their own. They just need time and opportunity."

Tang Lan smiled at Wang Qiu'er, her fingers trembling slightly as she denied her statement.

After hearing this, Wang Qiu'er pursed her lips slightly and remained silent.

If Tang Lan really insists on doing this, then she will only follow silently without the slightest complaint.

"Then it's settled. This time I'll only bring you. With fewer people, we won't be discovered by others."

"After I get back, I will secretly inform the others and make all the necessary arrangements."

As Tang Lan was speaking, she suddenly reached out and pulled him.

Wang Qiu'er gasped in surprise, falling onto Tang Lan's lap. Despite being very shy, this time she didn't flinch but instead took Tang Lan's broad arm in hers.

The next day, Tang Lan led everyone to the Li family manor in Qingyuan City, which had been bought by the Tang Clan.

As the name suggests, the Li Family Manor is a property owned by a large family in Qingyuan City. Recently, news of rebellious forces attacking various cities has caused widespread panic.

Fearing they could not hold onto the manor, the Li family planned to leave Qingyuan City with their clan and a large amount of gold soul coins should war break out.

This allowed the Tang Clan to get a great deal, purchasing the large estate at 30% of the usual price.

Inside the council chamber of the Tang Clan's high-level leadership, Tang Lan glanced around at everyone present. In addition to the many experts around Tang Lan, there were also many elders from various branches participating in the meeting.

Tang Lan, seated in the main seat, spoke first: "I called you all here today to announce something, and after hearing this, you must all swear here that you will never tell anyone."

"If you break your oath, you will not only be expelled from the Tang Clan, but you may also be hunted down by all the Tang Clan masters in the world."

"Those who do not wish to know the news may leave now. However, in order to ensure the successful execution of this plan and operation, any elders who are unwilling to participate must be demoted to deacons."

Tang Lan held the teacup in front of her and spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, the elders at the conference table exchanged puzzled glances.

In the end, it was the original elders of the Tang Sect who were the first to speak up: "We will obey the Sect Master's orders!"

Then the elders followed suit and began to express their opinions.

Tang Lan was not surprised by this. Many people hesitate when faced with choices, especially the elders who joined the Tang Sect later.

Ultimately, these people chose the former: taking risks to preserve their positions or choosing to protect themselves and lower their status.

After all, the Tang Clan is currently at its peak, and almost no one would think that Tang Lan's decision was wrong.

"I will be leaving the Tang Sect for a period of time. During this time, you must obey the orders and decisions of the inner sect elders."

"As for when I'll be back, that depends on how long it takes for me to finish what I'm doing. Maybe ten days, maybe twenty days."

"Those who disobey orders shall be dealt with according to the Tang Clan's rules!"

Tang Lan simply informed the outside world of her whereabouts, but did not reveal her deeper plans to these people.

After arranging other specific coordination matters, the outer sect elders left the council hall one after another.

After that, only Tang Ya, Tang Wutong, Wang Qiu'er, and other close confidants of Tang Lan remained.

"Where are you going? Why don't you tell us the truth?"

Tang Wutong asked anxiously.

Among the women present, Tang Wutong's love for Tang Lan was no less than that for the other women.

She was worried that Tang Lan might abandon her again to do something dangerous.

"Now that you're the only ones here, I can naturally tell you what's going on!"

“I’ve decided to go undercover in the Holy Spirit Cult to find out all their recent plans and objectives.”

"Too many people would expose us, so I decided to take only Qiu'er. She is currently in the stage of breaking through and still needs more experience."

"Therefore, the decision-making for the many things that the Tang Clan encounters in the future will be left to you. Just vote on any ideas you have."

Tang Lan's answer was concise, giving the women no chance to comfort her.

By the time everyone realized what was happening, Tang Lan was already standing at the door with Wang Qiu'er.

Then Wang Qiu'er explained, "We have discovered an extremely evil soul tool."

"This thing, no bigger than a fingernail, can manipulate soul beasts, driving them into a berserk state. The recent beast tide near Qingyuan City was caused by it."
