Chapter 268: Change of Target

Although what Celestial MeiHua said seemed weak and genteel, SongZhong did not dare to underestimate her words. He pulled a long face as he said, “I a.s.sume Senior would be the famous Celestial MeiHua, right?”

“Haha, I did not expect you to have such good eyesight!” Hearing such, Celestial MeiHua could not help but smile. “How did you guess?”

“Other than Senior, there are no other female YuanYing cultivators in the Mystical Sky Yard!” SongZhong laughed as he replied, before saying a little gloomily, “I have a good relations.h.i.+p with your disciple, ShuiJing, and would not want to cross blades with Senior!”

“What do you mean, cross blades?” Celestial MeiHua immediately interjected. “Did I say I was coming to fight it out with you?”

“What?” SongZhong could not help but feel elated at this piece of news. “Don’t tell me Senior does not plan to obstruct me?”

“That goes without saying; from now on, I am wiping any and all relations.h.i.+ps with those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds below. On the contrary, I would be happier if that Daoist HuoLong was dead!” Celestial MeiHua hatefully spat out.

“EEHH?!” SongZhong never thought she would say so, and was caught totally by surprise.

Seeing him in a flabbergasted state, Celestial MeiHua only smiled lightly, saying, “I know this may seem suspicious, but every word I have spoken is only the truth. With my ident.i.ty, it’s definitely not worthwhile for me to lie to you!”

“Then Senior, please move aside and let me wipe Daoist HuoLong off the face of this earth before we reminisce about the old times!” SongZhong hurriedly spoke.

“Ai ya!” Celestial MeiHua shook her head in response, saying, “Look at you, you’re so silly! Let me ask you, even if you blast the Mystical Sky Yard to smithereens, are you guaranteed to kill Daoist HuoLong?”

“This...” SongZhong was rendered speechless. Subconsciously, he was aware that every YuanYing cultivator would have their own set of Life-Saving Secret Arts. For him to rely on the Golden Dragon Boat to defeat them and chase them off would be possible, but it would be another matter to actually kill them. The other party only needed to put all their effort into running away, and compared to a YuanYing cultivator’s speed, the Golden Dragon Boat might be able to catch up at all. Even if it could catch up, the consumption of spiritual stones was not something which SongZhong would be able to endure! As such, he could only destroy the entire Mystical Sky Yard today, but he could not do anything about Daoist HuoLong.

Seeing his expression, Celestial MeiHua immediately understood that SongZhong had understood all that she had said. She continued, “Child, while it is true that Daoist Huolong is your enemy, the Mystical Sky Yard isn’t! Huo QianWu isn’t here, even if you were to destroy the entire Sect, this would only result in the deaths of countless cultivators. Some of them are even your fellow apprentices, can you bear to watch them die?”

“This...” Another chord was struck in SongZhong. The familiar faces of Han LingFeng, Monkey, and Qing FengZi all flashed by in his mind, and the killing intent immediately bled out of him. While he hated Daoist HuoLong to the bones, he wasn’t willing to blindly sacrifice all the people he was close to.

Seeing his expression of agony, Celestial MeiHua smiled gently. “Child, don’t be disheartened! Let me tell you, your real enemy is actually the Jade Pearl Pavilion, that’s where Huo QianWu is residing currently. Not only that, even the shameless Celestial QingYun is there too. The two of them were responsible for the death of your entire family, why aren’t you going there to destroy their Sect instead?”

Hearing such, SongZhong’s eyeb.a.l.l.s turned bloodshot and a fresh wave of killing intent spilled out once again. He viciously spat out, “Senior is right. For every grievance there is someone responsible, for every debt there is a debtor. I should not have blindly attacked the Mystical Sky Yard; the Jade Pearl Pavilion should be my target! I shall now head towards them to take my revenge!” As he spoke, SongZhong’s hands prepared to change the destination to the Jade Pearl Pavilion.

However, he was stopped by Celestial MeiHua, who called out, “Wait, wait!”

“Does Senior still have more instructions?” SongZhong immediately stopped where he was, turning around and saluting her respectfully.

“Silly child, at your strength now, how could you defeat the Jade Pearl Pavilion? Their Grand Defensive Formation isn’t like the one here; furthermore, it has been properly maintained. Even though your Golden Dragon Boat is peerlessly overpowering, you might not even scratch the formation!” Celestial MeiHua poured a bucket of cold water on him.

“Ah! Is that so…” SongZhong took in a cold breath. He knew that Celestial MeiHua would not lie to him, so he could only reveal a face of anxiety.

Seeing his constipated face, Celestial MeiHua laughed as she continued, “Silly child, it is actually nothing difficult. While the Jade Pearl Pavilion’s defensive formation may seem like a stronghold of steel to you, in front of me, it is full of holes. Come, take a look!” As she finished, she took out a piece of white jade, tossing it to SongZhong.

Upon catching it, SongZhong asked in doubt, “This is…?”

“This is the formation for the Grand Defensive Formation of the Jade Pearl Pavilion. I’ve already mapped out the leylines for you on it. As long as you aim at these crucial spots, with the strength of the Golden Dragon Boat, you can definitely destroy it!” Celestial MeiHua smiled darkly as she spoke.

“Ah?” SongZhong eyes brightened as he replied joyously, “Why would Senior give this to me?”

“Because I can’t stand some people treating me as though I’m a fool and an idiot!” Celestial MeiHua replied hatefully.
