Chapter 253: Fishing! Ji Haoyue's Terrifying Strength! (Part 1)
Chapter 253: Fishing! Ji Haoyue's Terrifying Strength! (Part 1)
Yu Kuo Yue felt a sense of unease.
Based on their speculations, although this matter had many flaws, since there was an 'old grudge' involved, Bright Moon Sect would definitely not let it go. Instead, they would directly attack Moon Embrace Sect, fighting to the death.
Furthermore, they didn't need to fight desperately from the start.
As long as they engaged in battle, they would naturally unleash their true fire energy.
In other words, once they started fighting, her mission would be accomplished.
Even if they didn't engage in a full-scale war, as long as there were some conflicts between the disciples outside, and a few deaths occurred, the matter would escalate, eventually leading to an all-out war.
Such an occurrence wouldn't be strange.
After all, Bright Moon Sect was still a top-notch first-class sect, an existence above the rest.
Their Sacred Son had been killed, and if Bright Moon Sect's other disciples encountered Moon Embrace Sect's people while traveling, it was highly likely that they would clash! Direct confrontation was a strong possibility.
The plan wasn't perfect.
But it was bound to be correct.
However...
For some reason, neither side started fighting.
Even the 'friction' between the disciples didn't happen, and both sides were doing their best to recall their disciples to prevent a war or any conflicts.
This...
"If this continues, the plan will have to be declared a failure."
Yu Kuo Yue frowned, "Moreover, Xiao Ling'er is quite a resolute girl. She actually wants to go to Bright Moon Sect to resolve this matter herself?"
"If she's willing to bow her head and make a vow..."
"!"
They hadn't ruled out the possibility of the plan failing.
But they hadn't expected Xiao Ling'er to go to Bright Moon Sect!
If she really went there and successfully proved that she wasn't the perpetrator, then Bright Moon Sect and Moon Embrace Sect would definitely investigate with all their might!
If they found out...
The Yu Clan and Young Master's lineage would have to bear the wrath of 'Twin Moons' together.
"Impossible!"
She gritted her teeth.
"I must not let Xiao Ling'er go to Bright Moon Sect."
"Moreover, for me, this is also an opportunity."
"I don't know why Bright Moon Sect is so patient, even better than that cowardly turtle. But I think Moon Embrace Sect might not be as patient, at least not from what we've seen of their past actions. They're definitely not like this."
"Bright Moon Sect's Sacred Son and many of their Heaven's Pride died, and they endured it."
"But if Moon Embrace Sect's Sect Master's Chief Disciple dies at Bright Moon Sect's hands."
"You Moon Embrace Sect..."
"Can you still endure it?"
She immediately set off!
And in her heart, she kept planning.
How could she make it more convincing?
When acting, one must go all out! After killing Xiao Ling'er, she had to immediately take away all her unusual flames, but she couldn't bring them back, that would only bring trouble! Once she obtained the flames, she had to 'throw them into' Bright Moon Sect, preferably creating a big commotion.
That way, it would truly be hard to explain.
As for Bright Moon Sect throwing out the flames..."
Hmph, those are seven unusual flames, including the top-ranked Crystal Flame, and three of the top ten, my friends, this is no ordinary matter. Among these seven flames, there's even the top-ranked Crystal Flame, and three others in the top ten. I don't believe Bright Moon Sect won't be tempted."
Even if it was just for these seven flames that were already in their grasp, they would still fight a battle with Moon Embrace Sect.
That way, her mission would be accomplished.
"..."
...
"Hiss!"
"Xiao Ling'er leaves Moon Embrace Sect!"
"She didn't use the teleportation array but chose to travel alone?"
"This direction is indeed towards Bright Moon Sect."
"She's quite bold, isn't she afraid of Bright Moon Sect intercepting her?"
"She's indeed daring, but I'm a bit confused. What's going on between Bright Moon Sect and Moon Embrace Sect? One is enduring silently, while the other is going to their doorstep to 'slap them in the face'?"
"In my opinion, it's not just Bright Moon Sect enduring silently, but they've already exerted pressure. Xiao Ling'er going to Bright Moon Sect is most likely to apologize! It's even possible that Xiao Ling'er has been made a 'sacrificial pawn', and this trip to Moon Embrace Sect is to 'pay with her life'!"
"Hiss... no way?"
"She's a Grand Daoist Alchemist, and her teacher is the famous Dan Emperor. How could Moon Embrace Sect Master's Chief Disciple is no ordinary person, and their teacher is the famous Dan Emperor. How could Moon Embrace Sect give her up?"
"It's indeed hard to believe, but if not, how else could we explain it?"
"..."
The spies from various powers and the curious cultivators had almost surrounded Moon Embrace Sect.
Therefore, as soon as Xiao Ling'er left the sect, they noticed.
As the news spread, they couldn't help but discuss it, each with their own opinions, some in awe, some mocking, and some with astonishing words.
As the news spread.
Soon, it reached 'Bright Moon Sect'.
Bright Moon Sect reacted extremely quickly.
Almost immediately after Xiao Ling'er 'left' the sect, Bright Moon Sect shook violently.
"This is too much!"
Boom!!!
Ji Haoyue was exposed.
The sky was instantly covered by bright moonlight, blocking out the sun! Ji Haoyue's Dharma form erupted, reaching a height of ten thousand zhang, and he roared in anger, "Moon Embrace Sect, Xiao Ling'er, you killed my sect's Sacred Son, Sequence, and Elders, and you still dare to come to my sect to show off your strength?"
"Our Sect Master... must kill her!"
Boom!!!
Even the sky seemed to shatter.
According to those who had been watching nearby, Bright Moon Sect was filled with rage.
Ji Haoyue couldn't bear the pain of losing his disciples and the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person to their death. He had already set off to personally kill Xiao Ling'er and avenge his Sacred Son and Heaven's Pride!
The news spread.
The Southwestern Domain was in an uproar.
Everyone was discussing whether Xiao Ling'er would continue her journey to Bright Moon Sect.
Inside Moon Embrace Sect.
Lin Fan was speechless after hearing the news.
"This Ji Haoyue, his acting is too exaggerated. He's angry and even talks about killing, but if the other side is cautious and wise, wouldn't it be easy to expose the truth?"
What does 'must kill' even mean?
If you're truly angry, why not start a war?
It was unlikely that they wouldn't fight, and yet she was declaring a kill. Wasn't that contradictory? She was supposed to act angry, but not like this! Lin Fan was unsure if this fish would take the bait.
But he couldn't help but wonder if the person behind this fish was the 'Decade Cataclysm'.
"It's a pity, but it's impossible to know for sure what the Decade Cataclysm is before the ten-year period is up."
"So what?"
"No matter what the crisis is, as long as I find out and can deal with it, I'll take care of it!"
"Go all out!"
"As long as it can be dealt with, find one and deal with it."
"Does it matter if it's the Decade Cataclysm?"
Lin Fan finally understood.
Why bother with all that?
No matter the danger, they would have to face it anyway. So, it was best to eliminate the threat in its infancy, and that was for sure!
...
In a small, unremarkable immortal city.
Since the cultivators' strengths were generally not high, the pace was not as 'fast-paced'. Many junior cultivators gathered, chatting and boasting in twos and threes.
Recently, their hottest topic was the matter between Moon Embrace Sect and Bright Moon Sect.
Today, the discussion was particularly heated.
From Xiao Ling'er's departure to Ji Haoyue's declaration of a kill.
And then to Xiao Ling'er receiving the news but not slowing down at all, instead, increasing her speed, as if completely disregarding Ji Haoyue's threat...
"In my opinion, Xiao Ling'er is probably just a pawn!"
"Otherwise, why would Moon Embrace Sect let her leave?"
"I think so too! Besides, Xiao Ling'er's attitude seems a bit off. After all, Ji Haoyue has already declared his intent to kill her, yet she continues forward without hesitation. This is clearly a suicide mission!"
"Sigh, what a waste! Such a young and talented Heavenly Pride, and a Daoist Alchemist at that..."
"The Moon Embrace Sect's Overlord, left for work, truly incompetent. To sacrifice such a disciple..."
"Well, it's not that simple. After all, he who knows the times is a hero. Is it worth sacrificing the entire sect for one person? Besides, what if killing the Bright Moon Sacred Son was Xiao Ling'er's idea?"
"That...you're right. I didn't think it through. If it was her idea, then this pawn is not being wronged."
"..."
In the crowd.
Yu Kuo Yue was unremarkable, quietly listening.
Then, she narrowed her eyes.
"This is too perfect."
"When sleepiness comes, someone sends a pillow. Just as I was thinking of killing Xiao Ling'er, she leaves the sect alone, not even trying to hide her tracks as she heads towards Bright Moon Sect."
"Even more perfect is that Ji Haoyue is so openly declaring his intent to kill Xiao Ling'er!"
"..."
Could there be a more perfect opportunity than this?
She had thought she would need to spend a lot of time and energy to find an opportunity, but she never expected both parties to deliver themselves right to her.
It was too easy!
She felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
But amidst the relief, she also felt some doubt.
"It's just...is there some hidden secret here?"
She hadn't considered that someone might 'scheme' against her. She was just thinking that their 'analysis' seemed to make some sense.
In other words...
If Xiao Ling'er was indeed a pawn of Moon Embrace Sect, and they had agreed to let her go to her death, then killing her wouldn't provoke a war between the two sects.
That would be a wasted kill!
"But in the end, it's just a guess. No one knows if it's true or not."
"Such an opportunity, I can't let it slip by."
Doubts were doubts.
But Yu Kuo Yue was still prepared to take action.
Opportunities like this were rare.
Even if she was truly a 'pawn', it would just buy her some time to find another opportunity.
But if she wasn't a pawn, the plan and mission would be complete.
With that thought, Yu Kuo Yue quietly disappeared from the crowd, as if she had never been there.
This was a wasteland.
The land was scarred, and it was unknown how many years it had been abandoned.
But faintly, one could see that this place had once been prosperous.
The ancient city, now sandified, only had some traces left, indicating its past existence. The numerous pits seemed to tell the story of the wasteland's extraordinary past and great battles.
Xiao Ling'er passed through this place...
She was on high alert.
She could clearly sense that someone was secretly following her, and not just one person! These were spies from various powers, wanting to know the development of the situation as soon as possible.
Xiao Ling'er didn't mind this, nor did she chase them away. She continued forward, heading towards Bright Moon Sect with a swagger.
At this moment.
The journey was already one-third complete!
Passing through this Hundred Battle Wasteland, half the journey would be done!
"If the fish takes the bait..."
"The best place to strike would be this wasteland, right?"
Xiao Ling'er muttered to herself.
Hundred Battle Wasteland, in the past, was not a desolate wasteland.
It was said that millions of years ago, this place was one of the most prosperous areas in the Southwestern Domain, filled with immortal cities and numerous top-tier sects.
But later, for some unknown reason, constant battles broke out.
The immortal cities were destroyed.
The spirit mountains were shattered.
The various powers suffered heavy casualties, and those who could, fled. The once-lush land, filled with spiritual energy and blessed lands, was turned into this wasteland.
Since then, some cultivators considered this place inauspicious and avoided it.
Xiao Ling'er's mind recalled the information about Hundred Battle Wasteland, but she remained calm and continued forward.
Behind her.
Numerous spies hid, following from a distance...
Suddenly, they looked up in shock, their faces filled with astonishment: "A powerful cultivator is coming!"
"Here they come!"
"That is..."
"Who?"
...
Boom! At the horizon.
A terrifying aura broke through the air, as if pushing aside all things, crushing space, and forcefully smashing towards Xiao Ling'er.
There was no mistake, it was indeed a 'smash'!
It was clearly just 'momentum' and 'pressure', but at this moment, it was as if it had a physical form, like a terrifying giant hammer, smashing towards Xiao Ling'er.
"Who dares to be so arrogant?"
Xiao Ling'er made her move, and unusual flames filled the sky, incinerating everything. The 'giant hammer' was ferocious, but when it reached her, it exploded with a loud bang and dissipated.
"Hiss!"
"Xiao Ling'er is indeed as powerful as ever."
"This feeling, this pressure, is similar to when she acted outside the Azure Emperor's Tomb. So, the person who made the move before is indeed Xiao Ling'er?"
The onlookers gaped in shock.
In the distance, a figure appeared.
She seemed to be standing on the bright moon, instantly crossing a distance of ten thousand miles, getting closer and closer to Xiao Ling'er.
"Ji Haoyue!"
Everyone could now see who the person was.
Instantly, their scalp went numb.
"The Master of Haoyue Sect, Ji Haoyue, has personally come?"
"Hiss! The rumors are true!"
"Yes, the Master himself said that he would kill Xiao Ling'er. Now, he's here!"
"Xiao Ling'er didn't even flee?"
"So, it seems she's indeed a pawn."
"..."
...
Soon, the two were separated by several miles and stopped walking.
"Xiao Ling'er, you're indeed bold."
"Dare to kill me, the Sacred Son of Haoyue!"
Ji Haoyue spoke, his voice cold, without any expression.
Xiao Ling'er glared at him: "So what?"
"Is the Sacred Son of Haoyue Sect so impressive?"
"Kill, then kill!"
Boom!
In the distance, countless people gasped.
Xiao Ling'er was too arrogant!
In front of Ji Haoyue, she was still so bold?
But Ji Haoyue was clearly taken aback, and his lips curled up, but only for a moment, before returning to normal.
"Good."
"You seek death!"
"Since it's like this, then let's fight to the death!"
Boom!
Ji Haoyue made his move, and in an instant, the earth shook and the sky turned upside down!
Xiao Ling'er naturally didn't want to be captured, and she immediately resisted, and a great battle broke out.
}
]
Terrifying attacks came one after another, and Xiao Ling'er immediately used the Immortal Flame Nine Transformations, but she was still suppressed.
Although Ji Haoyue was only at the Eighth Realm, his strength was extremely formidable.
Even surpassing Han Feng!
Regarding this...
No one felt surprised.
"Hiss, so powerful!"
"Indeed worthy of being the Master of Haoyue Sect."
"It's said that he's already at the peak of the Eighth Realm, and the reason he hasn't broken through to the Ninth Realm is because he's held back by trivial matters within the sect. But there's also another reason, which is that he wants to break through the Extreme Realm and enter the Ninth Realm in the strongest state!"
"Hmph, is that so?"
"I also heard from an old friend that Ji Haoyue has a grand plan. He's been suppressing his strength, and when he breaks through to the Ninth Realm, it will be the day when Haoyue Sect rises to become a top-tier first-class sect!"
"There's such a thing?"
"..."
The crowd exclaimed in shock.
But among them, there were a few...
'Spies'.
They couldn't exactly be called spies, as they weren't from the same faction.
Lin Fan, Long Ao Jiao, and Fan Jianqiang, the three of them used their Thousand Transformations technique to disguise themselves as ordinary onlookers, while communicating with others through Divine Sense and discussing the fight.
"Can you see anything?"
Lin Fan asked the other two.
Long Ao Jiao confidently said: "Of course!"
"The techniques he's using are powerful, but they're clearly a bit rusty, obviously not the famous techniques of Haoyue Sect. As the Master of Haoyue Sect, this is very inappropriate."
"I also heard that he wants to break through the Extreme Realm and enter the Ninth Realm in the strongest state!"
Fan Jianqiang's lips twitched, and he looked at Long Ao Jiao, his expression strange.
"Idiot!"
Long Ao Jiao was furious and scolded: "What are you looking at?"
"Be careful, or I'll gouge out your eyes!"
"Gouge them if you want, I'm just a strawman." Fan Jianqiang didn't care.
Long Ao Jiao: "Damn it..."
He really wanted to make a move, but it was hard to bear.
Speaking of which, she was truly impressed by this Old Six.
When they first met, she was still weaker, and she couldn't see through his strawman, let alone find his true body.
Now, several years have passed, and her strength has increased by thousands of times. Yet, she still couldn't see through this strawman, nor could she find any trace of his true body.
This was absurd!
"So, what did you see?"
In her frustration, she still didn't believe it.
She had to hear what Fan Jianqiang had seen.
"I didn't see anything."
However, Fan Jianqiang was a true scoundrel, and he smiled, adding: "But do we need to say it? Didn't we already discuss this with Ji Haoyue?"
"Could it be that you think Ji Haoyue is going back on his word, or using this opportunity to kill my Senior Sister?"
"..."
Long Ao Jiao's lips trembled, and she realized that she had indeed been talking nonsense.
"You two already have a grudge, and if Ji Haoyue is more cunning, then what if he's using this opportunity to mislead us?"
"He can even take it a step further, and after this, he can completely distance himself from the matter, and we won't be able to suspect him."
"With this opportunity, plus the old grudges, why not?"
"..."
Long Ao Jiao was adamant, and her analysis was 'reasonable', at least in her own eyes.
But...
Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckle.
