Chapter 1736: Chapter 1426: I Believe Those Two Will Leave the Wind Control Hall
In the temporary conference hall of the Baiman Sect, Baiman Immortal Monarch glanced at the Elders present, who were visibly angry, with a slight curl of his lips. His goal was achieved; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
Although the Baiman Sect had been in contact with the Blood Eagle Hall for a long time, there were still some Elders in Baiman Sect who opposed allying with Blood Eagle Hall. They held onto some fantasies about the Mysterious Moon Palace, believing that the Palace had such strong Qi Fortune that defeating Blood Eagle Hall shouldn’t be a problem.
Now, the Mysterious Moon Palace wanted them, Baiman Sect, to take the lead, which touched the core interests of the Baiman Sect. If they really took the lead, who knows how many would die. Even those Elders who were previously unwilling to join Blood Eagle Hall had no words to say.
Since Mysterious Moon Palace was treating them as expendables, naturally, they wouldn’t lean towards the Palace anymore. Baiman Immortal Monarch thought to himself, Mysterious Moon Palace rather helped him a great deal.
“Mysterious Moon Palace is truly bullying us too much!”
“Exactly, just because we moved a bit slower and saved a few lives, they’re making us take the lead!”
“Mysterious Moon Palace is ruthless, then they shouldn’t blame us for being unprincipled!”
“Sect Master, when do we implement that plan?”
…
Once the voices in the conference hall gradually quieted down, Baiman Immortal Monarch finally spoke: “It is impossible for us to take the lead. Once we charge ahead, if by any chance we trigger the Blood Eagle Hall’s killing formation prepared for the Mysterious Moon Palace, we don’t know how many would die then.”
Upon hearing Baiman Immortal Monarch’s words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they weren’t taking the lead, they felt reassured.
At this moment, Baiman Immortal Monarch continued, “On my way back, I’ve already contacted the envoy. I believe the envoy will arrive soon. What to do next will be according to the envoy’s arrangement.”
Everyone present knew very well what kind of envoy Baiman Immortal Monarch was referring to.
Just as Baiman Immortal Monarch was speaking, a man dressed in pure white suddenly appeared in the hall. The man wore a gilded hair crown, held a folding fan, and exuded a gentle and refined aura.
Seeing the newcomer, Baiman Immortal Monarch immediately said, “Greetings, Envoy. What arrangements does the Upper Sect have?”
The man in white replied indifferently, “Broken Soul Immortal Monarch wants you to not break away from Mysterious Moon Palace just yet. Once Mysterious Moon Palace launches a full attack, you should then head to Jade Dragon Sect.”
Upon hearing this, Baiman Immortal Monarch and the others were stunned. What if they actually took the lead, and Blood Eagle Hall attacked them as well?
As Baiman Immortal Monarch was about to say something, the man in white continued, “Baiman Sect Master, please don’t worry. Outside Jade Dragon Sect, there are no other passively triggered formations anymore, only actively driven killing formations.”
“As long as you enter Jade Dragon Sect at the fastest speed, you will be safe.”
Upon hearing this, Baiman Immortal Monarch still felt uneasy, the man in white then said, “Broken Soul Immortal Monarch wants you to head to Jade Dragon Sect only when Mysterious Moon Palace attacks because if you ally with Jade Dragon Sect now, Mysterious Moon Palace will likely revise their battle plan, leading to redeployment, making your provided intelligence useless.”
“After defeating Mysterious Moon Palace, your Baiman Sect will have achieved a significant contribution. Do you want to abandon this credit, Baiman Immortal Monarch?”
This…
Hearing the words of the man in white, Baiman Immortal Monarch realized.
Indeed, if they betrayed Mysterious Moon Palace now, the Palace’s combat deployment would surely become obsolete as Baiman Sect would also reveal the Palace’s battle plans to Blood Eagle Hall.
After pondering briefly, Baiman Immortal Monarch said, “I understand. We’ll follow the arrangements of the Upper Sect.”
Seeing Baiman Immortal Monarch agree, the man in white said no more and prepared to leave.
At this time, Baiman Immortal Monarch suddenly thought of something and swiftly asked, “If we can capture Xuan Yue’s two direct disciples, wouldn’t that be considered a significant contribution too?”
Baiman Immortal Monarch thought to himself, since they’re going to betray Mysterious Moon Palace anyway, they should earn credit as much as possible before the betrayal, as once they join Blood Eagle Hall, such opportunities would be gone.
Upon hearing this, the white-clothed man paused and then said, “If you truly can capture the direct disciples of Xuan Yue, it wouldn’t be impossible for your Baiman Sect to directly reside in the small world of Blood Eagle Hall.”
“Such credit would even surpass the credit of providing the battle plan of Mysterious Moon Palace, but capturing Xuan Yue’s direct disciples is not an easy task.”
“As far as I’m aware, Chen Lu and Ye Chuyao have always been in Wind Control Hall’s Heaven Rank protective Immortal Artifact of Mysterious Moon Palace.”
Baiman Immortal Monarch said, “On the day the war breaks out, I believe those two will certainly leave Wind Control Hall.”
The man in white said, “Then I will wait for good news from Baiman Sect.”
As his words fell, the figure of the man in white vanished. Once he left, Baiman Immortal Monarch immediately started planning how to capture Lu Chen and Ye Chuyao then.
This would be the best offering for their allegiance to Blood Eagle Hall; if they could capture the two, he should gain certain stature in Blood Eagle Hall in the future.
Thinking of this, Baiman Immortal Monarch’s heart grew hot.
…
A few days quickly passed, yet there was no move from Baiman Sect during these days. In response, Weixue Immortal Monarch wasn’t surprised, knowing that if they were to betray Mysterious Moon Palace now, the battle plan they had leaked earlier would be ruined too.
However, it was clear that their initial battle plan had been fake from the start.
On the morning of the full-scale battle, Weixue Immortal Monarch brought Ye Chuyao and Lu Chen to the hall. Seeing that besides Weixue Immortal Monarch, only he and Ye Chuyao were present, Lu Chen asked, “I don’t know why Weixue Immortal Monarch summoned us?”
Weixue Immortal Monarch said, “You are the direct disciples of the Hall Master; you cannot afford any mishap, so I intend to have you guard the rear.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was not surprised at all.
Ye Chuyao wanted to say something about them leading by example, but before she could speak, Weixue Immortal Monarch continued, “If anything happens to you, it would certainly impact the morale of the Moon Palace disciples, and now, when the Hall Master is at a crucial moment of closed cultivation, realizing you met trouble could noticeably affect her cultivation.”
“Your presence here has already set an example for the disciples; there’s no need to take more risks.”
Upon hearing Weixue Immortal Monarch’s words, Ye Chuyao and Lu Chen fell into silence. After a while, Ye Chuyao finally said, “I understand, my junior brother and I will wait at the rear for your return.”
Seeing Ye Chuyao agree, Weixue Immortal Monarch’s gaze fell on Lu Chen. Lu Chen was about to say he was merely a clone, but recalling that nurturing a clone wasn’t easy, having lost one not that long ago, now bringing another out seemed unreasonable, so he said, “Alright, I will stay behind as well.”
