Chapter 1551: You’re His Ultimate Target
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
There was complete silence in the secret chamber.
The four statues took on a somber mien.
“w.a.n.g Chi, we’ve long said that that matter should be kept buried and never mentioned again. And now, here you go, you’re bringing it up again. What’s the meaning of this?” One of the statues snorted coldly, looking ferocious.
The Dean swept a cold gaze over the entire room and shook his head as he said, “I don’t mean anything by it. I merely wanted to remind you all that even if some things happened a long time ago, don’t think that you can act as if nothing had ever happened.”
BOOM!
The reaction from the four statues after hearing these words was so intense that they actually jolted in place, and their secret chamber was unexpectedly sprinkled with particles of dust. All the dust in the air gathered together and transformed into sharp spikes, which gravitated toward the Dean, w.a.n.g Chi.
The Dean of the Heaven Palace Sect, w.a.n.g Chi, didn’t panic. His facial expression remained bland. He gave a cold snort, and all the sharp spikes that had been formed by the dust in the air scattered on the spot.
“Have the four of you decided to declare war on me?” w.a.n.g Chi asked coldly.
The four statues remained silent for a moment, until finally they said, “What do you want?”
“As I said before, I want the Tiger Amulet from you to deploy the Shadow Team to get ahead of Xuanyuan Wanrong. I need it as well to pursue and attack the Mighty King to regain the memory pearl,” w.a.n.g Chi replied calmly.
“This is never going to happen.” The four statues all shouted at the same time, and forcefully let w.a.n.g Chi know that they were definitely rejecting his request.
Once they’d handed over the Tiger Amulet, it would certainly never be returned. The legendary army of guards that could escort the Heaven Continent to the Divine Realm would be replaced by the Shadow Team led by w.a.n.g Chi.
Losing control of the Shadow Team, the four of them would also lose their final hidden trump card. w.a.n.g Chi would certainly abandon his benefactors upon achieving his goal and destroy these statues to wipe out their souls.
“Oh, I know what you’re worried about. But I, w.a.n.g Chi, am not as short-sighted as you think I am. How can I abandon you after I get the Tiger Amulet?”
w.a.n.g Chi laughed and continued to speak, “In the future, even if I succeed in getting to the Divine Realm, I would want to continue to cooperate with the four of you in order to have the strength to live in the Divine Realm. At this time, our top-priority job is to ensure that Xuanyuan Wanrong will not be able to get hold of the memory pearl. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
The four statues fell into a silence again once they’d heard his words.
A moment later, one of the statues spoke up, “w.a.n.g Chi, don’t mention your idea about the Tiger Amulet anymore. We will never promise you that.”
After saying that, the four statues once again made their jolting motions and then restored their stillness to transform into four ordinary statues. The previous surge of their powerful Soul Strength had disappeared.
w.a.n.g Chi stood where he was, and his face gradually darkened. A desire to commit murder flashed in his eyes, but he ultimately didn’t strike. He gave a cold HMMM and marched away.
..…
At the same time, Xu Que took advantage of the night’s extreme darkness to slip out of his room. He scattered replicas about to operate in all the various corners of the Heaven Palace Sect.
He was going to prepare a big show. He had practically emptied the System store in order to get all the elements for it.
After all, everything was free at this time. Some of the things, which he would usually have been reluctant to buy, he took anyway. He needed every trick up his sleeve in order to deal with the Heaven Palace Sect.
“Heh, heh, heh, it’s cool not to have to buy things. If I’d had to buy all these things, it would have cost me at least hundreds of millions of Acting Tough Points!” Xu Que was standing at a corner of a wall, smiling and talking to himself.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he gave a cry of surprise.
A replica at the back of the mountain was giving him some feedback, as if it had discovered some strange movements.
“Is that a woman? Oh yeah, here’s also b.u.t.tface. This fool is definitely being watched by someone.” According to the replica’s feedback from what it was watching, it was as if Xu Que was witnessing a pursuit.
At the back of the mountain behind the Heaven Palace Sect, Xuanyuan Wanrong was leading a team to surround the whole mountain, but she alone was in pursuit of this Kylin to kill it.
“Just so happens that I’m finished being busy. Better go and join in the action!”
Xu Que muttered to himself just before his figure flashed with a bright light. He immediately vanished from the place where he’d been standing and swept toward the back of the mountain.
However, interestingly enough, just as Xu Que’s front foot had disappeared, a figure appeared near his back foot, who had sneakily walked out from another corner.
TSK! TSK! TSK!
“I really have great instincts. I didn’t misjudge him. I knew that this boy was unusual and actually good at the art of spells. He’d added an Obliterating Spell to the Heaven Palace Sect’s Mountain’s Protective Spell Array. If it’s activated at the same time as their spell, the Mountain’s Protective Spell Array will become a self-destructing Annihilate the Mountain Spell.”
The figure touched his chin and looked in the direction in which Xu Que had left, as he clicked his tongue and whispered to himself.
“But what was this boy saying about joining in the action just now? Could it be there is something to be gained? Heh, heh, heh, how can I, Duan Qide, miss out on it?”
This figure had just finished speaking when he gave a wave of his hand and stepped out from the corner where he’d been hiding. His body shape instantly warped into a wisp of black smoke that dissipated in the air.
…..
In the back of the mountain of the Heaven Palace Sect, there was a ton of things going on.
Outside of the forest on that mountain, the elite disciples of the Heaven Palace Sect had almost completed their encirclement of the target. Their circling siege was gradually tightening.
Within the forest on the mountain, there was a Kylin who was scurrying all over the place. A white figure closely followed behind it the entire time. The Kylin was unable to shake off the white figure, no matter what he did.
“F*ck, I can’t seem to get rid of this woman. How did Your Holiness’s perfect escape plan get discovered? This shouldn’t have been possible.” It turns out that this was the Kylin Patriarch, b.u.t.tface. He looked furious as he continued to try to escape.
He felt very uneasy, and he was very worried that the operation was going to fail. He had been caught several times by the Heaven Palace Sect. Although he’d escaped each time, he hadn’t been able to completely avoid suffering.
However, the more times he got caught, the more experience he had. This time he had painstakingly prepared a set of extraordinary teleportation spells. As long as he’d had time to finish ransacking the treasure house, he could immediately retreat. By the time the Heaven Palace Sect discovered the theft the next day, he would have long ago escaped.
But this time the Heaven Palace Sect had reacted too quickly. He had just come out of the treasure house when the Heaven Palace Sect had sounded the alarm. A bunch of people had immediately started out to hunt him down.
“No, the reaction of the Heaven Palace Sect couldn’t have been so timely.” b.u.t.tface suddenly thought of something and his face changed dramatically. He said to himself, “D*mn, it must have been that boy had betrayed Your Holiness. What is he scheming about now?”
“Mighty King, you can’t escape. It would be better for you to quickly give yourself up and wait to be captured.” At this very moment, Xuanyuan Wanrong’s cold voice could be heard from behind him.
b.u.t.tface loudly responded, “Woman, give Your Holiness a way out. Your Holiness has a piece of major news to reveal to you!”
However, Xuanyuan Wanrong didn’t pay any attention to what b.u.t.tface had said. She didn’t answer him with even a word, and continued to pursue him relentlessly.
b.u.t.tface immediately got anxious and said, “It’s true. Your Holiness always keeps his promises and never lies. Do you still remember the boy from before? He has already snuck into your Heaven Palace Sect.”
“What did you say?” Xuanyuan Wanrong finally was interested enough to respond.
She certainly remembered the person whom b.u.t.tface was referring to. It was that strange fellow whose strength was very peculiar. She had been unable to figure him out.
“How could she have let that guy slip away! It was all because she’d been wasting her time in the pursuit of the Mighty King?
“But now, this Mighty King had actually said that the boy had snuck into the Heaven Palace Sect!”
“Ha, ha, ha, you’ve been fooled. Your Holiness is working with that boy. First, we would inadvertently alert the enemy to deliberately alarm you and make you deploy most of your men to pursue Your Holiness while that boy is now certainly doing whatever he wants in your Heaven Palace Sect. You’ve fallen for the ploy to lure you away from the territory!” b.u.t.tface was fully utilizing his acting skills as he laughed wildly.
“Impossible, my Heaven Palace Sect still has the Dean and the other Elders who are overseeing everything. He alone cannot cause any trouble.” Xuanyuan Wanrong stayed very calm and didn’t pay any attention to what b.u.t.tface had said.
b.u.t.tface laughed again. “Ha, ha, ha, why else do you think Your Holiness’s plan to rob the treasure house was leaked? Obviously, it was the boy who deliberately told you all about it. Also, his goal is your Heaven Palace Sect’s female disciples. This person is worse than a beast and has a wild l.u.s.t for women. He’s what people call a wolf in sheep’s clothing. How difficult can it be to abduct a person while taking advantage of the chaos in your Heaven Palace Sect?”
Xuanyuan Wanrong’s eyebrows knitted tightly as she listened to b.u.t.tface.
She wasn’t sure whether the Mighty King’s words were true or false. But it was true that a person who’d come to partic.i.p.ate in the recruitment congregation had informed the disciple who was guarding the main gate about the matter of the Mighty King robbing the treasure house. Because of that, they had gone to check the treasure house.
If the Mighty King’s words were true, then are the female disciples of the Heaven Palace Sect in danger now? After all, that boy’s means were unusual.
“Mighty King, you stop and follow me back to the Heaven Palace Sect. If what you say is true, I will promise you that you will be able to leave safely,” Xuanyuan Wanrong said, staring at b.u.t.tface who was now in front of her.
b.u.t.tface didn’t have the courage to stop. He continued to shout, “Your Holiness can’t go back. The boy also said he would first s.n.a.t.c.h a female disciple and then go back a few days later to grab you. You’re his ultimate target. He said that when he first saw you, he…”
b.u.t.tface had gotten halfway through his sentence when he suddenly stopped.
“What was he going to do?” Xuanyuan Wanrong’s voice instantly became ice-cold. Her murderous aura erupted in a boundless wave and filled the whole forest on the mountain.
At the same time, b.u.t.tface’s voice also rang out, “His esteem for you is like a torrential river, endless and eternal. He said you are a fairy descended to the mortal world and can’t be dishonored. I must say, this person is a true gentleman, and Your Holiness greatly admires him.”
“Hey, Lord Brother, what are you doing here? What a coincidence, Your Holiness was just singing your praises.”
