Chapter 251: Xiao Ling'er Kills the Bright Moon Sacred Son! The Battle of the Double Moons? (Part 1)
"This strategy..."
"Forget it."
"We've already done so much, we can't just give up halfway."
When the Third Elder revealed the plan to the other elders of the same clan, they all felt their scalps go numb. But the matter had come to this point, and they had already made their choice. At this moment, they could not afford to regret or hesitate.
There was only one way to go.
"Who will do it?"
"I'll go."
A woman stepped forward, "Although I don't want to do such dirty deeds, since the person to be impersonated is a woman, it's most suitable for me to go."
"Otherwise, even though your transformation techniques are extraordinary, it's still very easy for others to see through you with a single gesture or movement."
"You can't imitate a woman's demeanor."
"Moreover, I'm not bad at the art of pill refinement either."
The other elders looked at each other and nodded.
There was no fault in these words.
Moreover...
Not all men like cross-dressing.
"Seventh Sister, we're counting on you."
"We don't want you to do these dirty deeds either, but this is the Young Miss' order, and moreover..."
"In any case, be careful."
"After all, it's far away in the Southwestern Domain, so it's best to be cautious."
"Be careful."
"We'll prepare everything for you, and the information is on its way. Later, we'll think of the best time and place for you, and then you can make your move."
"Don't worry about any flaws, minor flaws won't matter. The primary task is to protect yourself and ensure your safety!"
They all reminded her.
'Seventh Sister' smiled and said, "I understand."
"Rest assured, I'll definitely return safely."
...
Several days later.
Southwestern Domain.
Xiao Ling'er appeared in multiple places, and although her appearances were brief, some people noticed. She seemed to be in a hurry, as if searching for something.
This piqued everyone's curiosity.
"Is that Xiao Ling'er from the Moon Embrace Sect?"
"It's her."
"What's she doing here?"
"Strange, I heard that the Moon Embrace Sect once again made a splash in the Northeastern Domain, waging war with the Inferno Pill Tower and helping that Dan Di reclaim his title. How did she end up here?"
"Well... I don't know."
"Speaking of the Northeastern Domain, it's truly shocking. Who would've thought that Han Feng, the Venerable Han, would be a traitor to her master and ancestors?"
"And no one expected that the Dan Di, who was thought to have died thousands of years ago, was actually still alive and could make such a powerful comeback."
"The Moon Embrace Sect... is getting stronger and stronger!"
"It's truly lamentable. If it weren't for the people of the Southwestern Domain, and if our ears weren't already worn out from hearing about it, who would believe that the Moon Embrace Sect could develop to such an extent in just a few years?"

"Hey, Xiao Ling'er has played an indispensable role in this."
"Why talk about something so distant? What we want to discuss is Xiao Ling'er's frequent appearances recently."
"This..."
"Who knows?"
"Hey, I have some news."
A scholar-like man who had been silent until now, fanned himself with a paper fan, "Insider information, do you want to hear it?"
"The Life-Taking Scholar?"
"Is it him?"
"It's said that his master is a powerful master, and his information is extremely reliable..."
"Life-Taking Scholar, what do you know? Tell us quickly, and we'll treat you to a drink and a meal!"
"Hahaha, alright, since you're so enthusiastic, I'll share some insights with you."
The Life-Taking Scholar laughed, put away his paper fan, and lowered his voice, "Xiao Ling'er is an unparalleled genius. Not only did she receive the Dan Di's inheritance, but her pill refinement skills are exceptional, and her cultivation talent is also at the pinnacle!"
"Her frequent appearances in our area recently must have a reason."
The crowd: "..."
What the hell is this nonsense? But they couldn't rush him.
Fortunately, the Life-Taking Scholar knew when to stop, "Actually, if you go out more or have better information, you'd discover that it's not just Xiao Ling'er."
"Recently, many experts, including disciples from major sects, have appeared nearby."
"..."
"Indeed."
Someone nodded in agreement, "I noticed that too."
"Don't you understand?" The Life-Taking Scholar chuckled, "Why are they here?"
Someone with a quick mind immediately realized, "Could it be..."
"There's a treasure about to appear?"
"Exactly!"
The Life-Taking Scholar snapped open his paper fan, fanning himself, and said in a low voice, "There's indeed a treasure about to appear, and it's no ordinary treasure!"
"It's said..."
"It's a grand tomb."
"And it contains a precious treasure!"
"The major powers don't want to miss this opportunity, and they also want to use it to temper their disciples. With this, you should understand why Xiao Ling'er is here, right?"
"So, there's a precious treasure?"
The crowd understood.
But someone's heart was stirred, and they had an idea.
The Life-Taking Scholar saw all this and secretly scoffed at these people for overestimating their abilities.
Even he didn't dare to dream of obtaining the treasure, so how dare these insignificant people have such delusions? He was certain that the disciples of the major powers were not pushovers.
Among the people present, if anyone dared to go and compete, they would surely die, one by one, without even knowing how they died.
...
Three days later.
A loud rumble shook the heavens, and an extraordinary phenomenon dyed the sky blood-red.
"The great tomb has appeared!"
"Over there?"
"Hurry!"
Many eager people rushed over at the first opportunity.
The grand stage had indeed arrived.
But it hadn't truly opened yet, and when the geniuses and powerful figures arrived, they began to confront each other.
As some enemies met, their eyes flashed with jealousy, and they immediately engaged in battle.
Others watched with a predatory gaze, their vigilance heightened.
"The Bright Moon Sect has arrived!" someone whispered.
Everyone followed the sound and indeed saw the members of the Bright Moon Sect had arrived.
"It's actually the Sacred Son leading the team?"
"And behind him are all the Heaven's Pride of the Bright Moon Sect."
"I recognize three of them, they are the third, sixth, and eighth sequence disciples."
"The others are probably also of high status, likely sequence disciples as well."
"It seems like the Bright Moon Sect is determined to win."
"Someone from the Spirit Sword Sect has also arrived? It's a pity that Sword Child isn't here, otherwise, we might have witnessed a fierce battle between two powerhouses. I recall that in the Drunk Immortal Tower of the Imperial Capital, Sword Child and him had formed a grudge."
"Look over there!"
"Xiao Ling'er has arrived!"
Everyone held their breath as they looked in that direction.
Xiao Ling'er arrived alone, her expression calm.
Soon after, the two sides met.
They merely exchanged a glance from a distance, but everyone felt a surge of fiery tension.
"Could it be...?"
"Are they going to fight?"
Someone in a small group whispered.
"What do you mean by 'could it be'?"
Another person chuckled coldly, "With that kind of gaze, it's either a fight or something more intimate."
Everyone: "???"
What kind of wolfish talk is this? They were about to make some mocking remarks, but suddenly, Xiao Ling'er burst into action, charging towards the crowd from the Bright Moon Sect.
Without a word, she unleashed an exceptionally vicious attack, a life-threatening move.
"Xiao Ling'er, you dare!"
Lu Zhicai burst into rage.
Yes, you, Xiao Ling'er, are indeed a peerless Heaven's Pride, and your reputation has soared recently, but am I, the Sacred Son of the Bright Moon Sect, just a mere pretender?
Others have said that you, Xiao Ling'er, can fight against an Eighth Realm cultivator and even defeat them?
But I, Lu Zhicai, do not believe it!
"You dare to form an array here, but watch as I slay this girl!"
He let out a cold snort, not retreating but advancing, meeting Xiao Ling'er's offensive head-on.
"Bright Moon in the Sky!"
The Sacred Body, matched with the Bright Moon Immortal Art.
At this moment, his battle prowess reached its peak.
And now, several years have passed since the battle at the Drunk Immortal Tower, and as a Heaven's Pride enjoying the best resources of the Bright Moon Sect, Lu Zhicai's growth has been remarkable.
Currently, although he hasn't entered the Eighth Realm, he has already cultivated to the seventh level of the Seventh Realm, and at this age and stage, he can be considered 'top-notch'.
At this moment, he showed no fear and utilized various techniques.
A bright moon appeared in the sky, enhancing his battle prowess, and he also had a special 'domain' that could influence his opponents within the domain, weakening their strength.
"Die!"
Lu Zhicai roared, employing various secret techniques, and even took out a sword, slashing out a sword beam as bright as the full moon, piercing through the sky and shattering the void.
At this moment, he was filled with vigor, feeling refreshed.
He had made up his mind to defeat Xiao Ling'er today, in front of numerous Heaven's Pride and heroes of the world, to assert the might of the Sacred Son of the Bright Moon Sect.
At the same time, he also wanted to avenge his past humiliation!
Over the years, the outcome of the battle at the Drunk Immortal Tower had spread throughout the world, and he, Lu Zhicai, had almost become a laughingstock, a mere background character in everyone's eyes.
Today...
Boom!!!
Lu Zhicai was indeed powerful.
Or rather, a Sacred Body never weak!
Moreover, with the vast resources of the Bright Moon Sect and a nearly perfect match, he became even more formidable.
An Eighth Realm Guardian hiding in the shadows exclaimed, "This child is no weaker than us, the older generation's powerhouses!"
"Even I, when fighting him, may not necessarily win."
"Xiao Ling'er, today she might have met her match!"
"The enmity between their sects runs deep, and this battle will surely ignite their true fighting spirit. Let's see who is stronger and who is weaker."
"Lu Zhicai is very strong, but as for Xiao Ling'er... According to rumors, she is almost invincible, but I don't believe she is that powerful. Defeating the ninth level of the Eighth Realm? It's definitely an exaggeration!"
"..."
These people were divided into two groups.
One group consisted of the current generation's Heaven's Pride.
The other group was the Guardians and the older generation.
Each group chatted among themselves.
Most of the Guardians held the same opinion, believing that Xiao Ling'er couldn't possibly be as strong as the rumors claimed.
A peerless Heaven's Pride?
Indeed, a peerless Heaven's Pride is formidable, but there should be a limit.
In their opinion, Xiao Ling'er might be extraordinary, capable of rivaling an ordinary Eighth Realm cultivator with her Sixth Realm cultivation, but defeating the peak of the Eighth Realm alone? That's impossible, there's no way that could happen.
This is no longer something a 'Heaven's Pride' could accomplish.
It's like a fantasy.
Even for a genius, there are fundamental principles to follow.
Therefore, they weren't anxious or surprised.
Especially the various major powers, the Guardians in the Eighth Realm, were extremely relaxed and cheerful, watching the spectacle with amusement, showing no signs of worry.
Even Lu Zhicai's Guardian held the same opinion.
Furthermore, he was happily chatting with a familiar old friend from another major power.
"For this battle, who do you think will win?"
The other person was also very relaxed.
Lu Zhicai's Guardian stroked his beard and chuckled, "Of course, I'm rooting for our Sacred Son. Why would I cheer for an outsider?"
"Huh?"
"Xiao Ling'er's reputation is far greater than that of your Sacred Son!"
"So what?" Lu Zhicai's Guardian remained calm and said, "Our Sacred Son has already surpassed his past self. How about a bet?"
"Even when you were young, you couldn't beat me, and now that you're old, your judgment is surely inferior to mine."
"Bet... bet on what?"
"Bet on..."
"What the hell?!"
Lu Zhicai's Guardian was about to win something good from this 'old friend' as a reward, but before he could finish his sentence, a shocked exclamation of 'What the hell' suddenly interrupted him.
The outcome far exceeded their expectations with just one strike.
A single strike!
Xiao Ling'er's palm slashed fiercely.
Although Lu Zhicai had already given it his all, with extraordinary phenomena filling the sky and overwhelming pressure, he couldn't stop Xiao Ling'er's palm. All his attacks were shattered by her delicate palm, and even the disposable defensive treasures he carried were shattered. Then, he was struck in the heart!
"Wah!"
Lu Zhicai let out a miserable hum.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
With a cracking sound, an unknown number of ribs broke, and his breath plummeted to the bottom of the valley in an instant. He could only exhale, unable to inhale.
But...
For such a Heaven's Pride, backed by a powerful force, this wasn't a big deal.
Although the injury was severe, as long as he received treatment and was willing to pay the price, he would eventually recover.
So, although Lu Zhicai's Guardian was shocked and secretly relieved that he hadn't made any bets, he didn't panic.
The Guardians of the other Heaven's Pride also gasped in shock.
They were astonished that Xiao Ling'er had defeated Lu Zhicai with just one move! But immediately, Lu Zhicai's Guardian rushed forward, his scalp tingling: "You dare, you lowly servant!"
Xiao Ling'er's hand was enveloped in unusual flames.
He realized...
Xiao Ling'er was going to kill! "Stop her!"
His heart pounded violently, almost scared to death. He no longer dared to hide or delay.
In an instant, he leaped out of his hiding place. His large blade slashed through the sky, cutting through everything in its path, extending over a dozen miles, aiming for Xiao Ling'er's neck.
In this critical moment, he couldn't care about anything else.
He never expected Xiao Ling'er to be so ruthless, intending to kill! After all, in his opinion, the Bright Moon Sect and the Moon Embrace Sect should maintain restraint on the surface. At least, neither side wanted or would provoke a war, leading to large-scale conflict.
This would be beneficial for both parties.
So, he naturally assumed that Xiao Ling'er and the others from the Moon Embrace Sect shared this belief.
Naturally, he thought Xiao Ling'er wouldn't dare to kill.
At most, she would show her strength, defeat their Sacred Son, and make him lose again. But, Xiao Ling'er, you actually...?!
He had murderous intent! But...
At the same time.
Everyone present was shocked.
This sudden change, the intention to take another's life, and the Guardian's actions all exceeded everyone's expectations.
But...
Xiao Ling'er's strength far surpassed everyone's imagination.
"Guardian?"
"Hmph!"
Xiao Ling'er coldly hummed, and her right hand, still enveloped in unusual flames, land on Lu Zhicai's chest?
Lu Zhicai, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, was instantly enveloped in the flames, turning into a fiery human! At the same time, the nearby blade's power was easily blocked by her left hand as if it were nothing.
"Save him!"
The other Heaven's Pride from the Bright Moon Sect rushed forward, intending to rescue him.
Lu Zhicai's Guardian had also arrived, intending to push Xiao Ling'er back and buy them time.
But he still underestimated Xiao Ling'er.
"So what if you're a Guardian?"
"Before me, you're just a chicken or a dog."
"Break!"
Xiao Ling'er attacked again, fighting against this Eighth Realm, Seventh Stage Guardian. The result? She gained the upper hand in just a few moves, causing him to change his expression drastically.
"This woman is evil! Leave quickly!"
He shouted harshly, ordering the other Heaven's Pride to take Lu Zhicai away.
But no one responded.
"You all stay!!!"
He was furious and about to shout, but suddenly realized something was amiss.
They weren't ignoring him; they simply couldn't respond.
The strange flames that had initially enveloped only Lu Zhicai had, at some point, 'split' and simultaneously trapped all the Heaven's Pride present within.
At this moment, they seemed sealed.
Not only could they not move, but they couldn't even make a sound.
They had to endure the flames' burning and the agony of their hearts being devoured! "Xiao Ling'er, how dare you do this?"
The Guardian's heart and liver shattered.
She was going to take out all the Heaven's Pride present, including the Sacred Son!
If she succeeded, he would be nailed to the pillar of shame!
He wanted to stop her.
But he found himself powerless...
Save him?
Damn it, I'm done for!
"Get out of here!"
At this moment, he erupted with all his might.
He didn't aim to kill Xiao Ling'er or defeat her. He just wanted to temporarily push her back, giving himself time.
But even this 'small wish' was still a 'fantasy.'
Even with his eruption, he could only briefly match Xiao Ling'er's a dance of power.
"Ah!!!"
He roared: "Get back!"
"Blade Descends to the Mortal Realm!"
Boom!
This blade, as if descended from the Immortal Realm, was overwhelmingly powerful, almost capable of transcending realms, rivaling a peak Eighth Realm powerhouse.
This blade shocked many.
But Xiao Ling'er remained unmoved, her jade-like hands seemed to possess magical power, capable of breaking all laws!
"Eight Extremes Collapse!"
Boom!
The descending blade was shattered.
The Guardian instantly coughed up mouthfuls of blood, and it was essence blood!
Simultaneously, he involuntarily retreated, his flesh, bones, and blood shattered.
Severely wounded.
"This?!"
Everyone was shocked.
"Die!"
Xiao Ling'er showed no mercy, stepping on the void, leaving a series of afterimages, quickly catching up to him. Taking advantage of his weakness, she aimed to take his life, slaying him, staining the sky with his blood!
"Hmph."
Xiao Ling'er hummed coldly.
Boom, boom, boom...
The flames enveloping Lu Zhicai and the others suddenly erupted, soaring hundreds of feet high.
