Chapter 1774: Chapter 1464: Heaven Truly Favors Me!
After entering the territory of the Mysterious Moon Palace, the Blood Eagle Hall had been very cautious. After all, the Mysterious Moon Palace possessed an immortal technique capable of restraining evil aura.
However, they had already reached Bihai Immortal City. Once they broke through the few Immortal Cities of the Mysterious Moon Palace, they could attack the Mysterious Moon Palace directly. Yet, no one from the Mysterious Moon Palace had used that immortal technique until now.
There were two possibilities: one was that only a few knew the technique, and the other was a strategic lure. The Mysterious Moon Palace intentionally gave way and kept retreating, aiming to draw them in.
At this moment, the Ghostly Evil Immortal King said, "I believe that only a few may know that immortal technique; perhaps they haven’t realized it can restrain evil aura."
"If the Ling Yin Immortal King knew her immortal technique could repress evil aura, she would have likely passed it onto other disciples of the Mysterious Moon Palace by now. We wouldn’t possibly not see even one person using it on the battlefield."
Listening to the Ghostly Evil Immortal King’s analysis, the elders on the warship fell into deep thought, feeling that his reasoning was indeed plausible.
Then an elder spoke, "If it is as the Third Hall Master says, should we proceed with a full-scale attack next?"
Currently, the forefront army of the Chiyan Sect and the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty has also reached the Immortal City, but their main forces have not yet arrived. If they do, those two forces will not only divide the resources of the Mysterious Moon Palace but may also acquire that immortal technique which restrains evil aura.
For the Blood Eagle Hall, the most important thing now is to prevent that evil-restraining immortal technique from falling into the hands of others, especially the Righteous Immortals, as that would nullify the advantage of the Evil Immortals.
Hence, the Evil Immortals of the Blood Eagle Hall are raring to go, eager to invade the Mysterious Moon Palace at once.
At this time, the elders’ gazes fell on the Great Hall Master, the Blood Demon Immortal King, who also wished to attack the Mysterious Moon Palace as soon as possible, believing that Xu Jingshu might have been captured by them.
Xu Jingshu was necessary for him to break through to Immortal Venerate; he was most worried that something had happened to her.
Then, the Netherworld Immortal King spoke, "We could try to win over the elders of the Mysterious Moon Palace and see if they know that immortal technique. If they don’t, then it likely means only the Ling Yin Immortal King can use it, and we wouldn’t need to worry then."
"No matter how strong she is, she is still just one person."
After the Netherworld Immortal King spoke, the Ghostly Evil Immortal King said, "It might not be easy to win over those elders of the Mysterious Moon Palace."
The Netherworld Immortal King said, "It’s hard to say. From what I know, some elders of the Mysterious Moon Palace weren’t brought from the Mysterious Moon Palace by the Mysterious Moon Immortal King, so their loyalty to the Mysterious Moon Palace might not be very high."
"Now that the Mysterious Moon Palace is at a critical juncture of life and death, as long as we promise not to harm those elders, there will surely be someone willing to surrender."
"And I have already sent someone to try it, and there might soon be results."
Curious, the Ghostly Evil Immortal King asked, "How did you do it?"
The Netherworld Immortal King replied, "I released those elders of the affiliated forces of the Mysterious Moon Palace, allowing them to retreat to the Immortal Cities of the Mysterious Moon Palace to find ways to contact and win over the elders of the Mysterious Moon Palace."
Now, within the Immortal Cities of the Mysterious Moon Palace, there are many Righteous Immortals from the affiliated forces, quite a number of whom have secretly surrendered to the Blood Eagle Hall.
Just as the Ghostly Evil Immortal King was about to say something, a steward from the Blood Eagle Hall entered the Meeting Hall on the warship.
After the steward saluted the Blood Demon Immortal King and the other two, he quickly said, "There is someone who wants to see you three."
The Blood Demon Immortal King asked indifferently, "Who is it?"
That steward glanced at the elders in the hall and then said, "The person’s identity is special, and we do not wish others to know she is here for now."
Hearing this, the Blood Demon Immortal King told the other elders in the hall, "You may all leave."
After the Blood Demon Immortal King gave the order, the elders of the Blood Eagle Hall left the Meeting Hall, though they were all deeply curious about who wanted to see the Hall Master and why it was so mysterious.
Once the elders had left, the Blood Demon Immortal King finally spoke, "Speak, who is this person you mentioned?"
The steward immediately said, "Zuiyue Immortal Monarch, you may come out."
As the words fell, a crescent moon appeared in the hall, followed by a woman dressed in plain white attire wearing a face veil appearing in the hall.
Zuiyue Immortal Monarch immediately paid respect to the Blood Demon Immortal King and the other two, "Greetings to the three Hall Masters!"
The Blood Demon Immortal King continued to ask, "Who are you? Why have you come to us?"
Zuiyue Immortal Monarch answered, "I am an Inner Hall Elder of the Mysterious Moon Palace."
Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon Immortal King and the other two were slightly stunned, especially the Blood Demon Immortal King and the Ghostly Evil Immortal King, amazed at how quickly the Netherworld Immortal King’s strategy had worked, as an elder from the Mysterious Moon Palace had indeed come, and it was even an Inner Hall Elder.
After recovering, the Blood Demon Immortal King said, "Do you wish to defect to the Blood Eagle Hall?"
Zuiyue Immortal Monarch said, "Yes, I respectfully ask the three Hall Masters for their grace,"
"To show my sincerity, I bring significant intelligence."
The Blood Demon Immortal King said, "Since you have chosen to defect, we will certainly not make things difficult for you. From now on, you will be part of the Blood Eagle Hall. Speak, what is the intelligence you bring."
Zuiyue Immortal Monarch answered, "The Mysterious Moon Immortal King has failed to break through the realm and has fallen to the Immortal Monarch Realm in cultivation state, and they have already prepared to flee the Mysterious Moon Palace."
Hearing this, the three were shocked, and the Blood Demon Immortal King asked with a serious expression, "Is this really true!?"
Feeling the terrifying pressure released by the Blood Demon Immortal King, Zuiyue Immortal Monarch felt immensely fortunate, clearly having made the right choice in defecting to the Blood Eagle Hall.
Zuiyue Immortal Monarch said, "The Mysterious Moon Immortal King has already ordered all the disciples in the Immortal Cities to return."
Hearing this, the faces of the Blood Demon Immortal King and the other two turned dark; if the people of the Mysterious Moon Palace were to escape, those resources and treasures would likely be lost too.
The Blood Demon Immortal King coldly chuckled, "Truly, Heaven helps me!"
At this moment, the Blood Demon Immortal King suddenly remembered something, "Do you know if the Mysterious Moon Immortal King has brought back an Evil Immortal Woman over the years?"
This...
Zuiyue Immortal Monarch hesitated for a moment and then answered, "Returning to the Hall Master, I have never heard of it."
The Blood Demon Immortal King’s brows furrowed, his blood-red face twisting in thought.
Never heard of it?
Could it be that Xu Jingshu is indeed not in the Mysterious Moon Palace? So where did she go?
The Blood Demon Immortal King did not believe that the Zuiyue Immortal Monarch before him would dare deceive him, now that she had defected to the Blood Eagle Hall.
The Ghostly Evil Immortal King then asked, "Since the Mysterious Moon Immortal King intends to flee the Mysterious Moon Palace, why have you chosen to defect to the Blood Eagle Hall?"
Zuiyue Immortal Monarch said, "I am originally from the Southern Domain, and so is my family’s power. If I leave the Southern Domain, I will have nothing."
Most Immortal Monarchs have a vast network of power behind them, and leaving a certain place means starting all over again. Not everyone can give up those things.
