Chapter 127: Cunningly Seizing Power, the Demon Re-emerges (3/3)

Lian Wenzhao had done his homework before coming; Song Lin was currently the strongest disciple in Jiuyou.

He was also the one who exposed the demon, earning the highest reputation among the crowd.

Moreover, he led everyone to set up camp at Hidden Sword Manor.

If Song Lin could be taken down, everything else would fall into place.

"Where should I start?"

Lian Wenzhao pondered deeply. Resorting to brute force was out of the question; it would only deepen the rift between them. But using purely soft tactics wouldn't work either.

He could only employ a mix of firmness and kindness—first wield the stick, then offer the carrot. Only then could this man be subdued.

"Let's see if he's wise enough to know what's good for him," Lian Wenzhao thought.

After all, he carried direct orders from the Taoist master. If he adopted a cooperative attitude, perhaps he could even be rewarded with a position in the Three Capitals.
