Chapter 561 (1/2)
The always silent Grandfather Li slyly observed Ye Futu for a long while before he finally spoke.
”This Old Man wants to give the Azure Dragon Territory a lesson.”
Such an arrogant tone, to unexpectedly want to give the Azure Dragon Territory a lesson. Ye Futu's heart trembled, but he indifferently said: ”Does Taisui wish for Futu to do such a thing?”
”I want you to go find that cultivator from the Most High Path and bring him a message.” Grandfather Li's smiled wholeheartedly.
”What message?” Ye Futu could already guess what it was.
”The Purple Thunder Monster's head!”
Ye Futu could no longer pretend to be calm: ”Taisui, could it be that you want to go kill the Purple Thunder Monster?” Even if this Grandfather Li villain was peerless, he could not possibly be the Purple Thunder Monster's opponent. Wu Song, Lin Chong, none of them were weak. A lesson to the Azure Dragon Territory was already sufficiently obvious, ”But how is this related to teaching the Azure Dragon Territory a lesson?”
Grandfather Li smiled but remained silent.
Han Bing then said: ”The Crystal Dragon Palace's Treasure Banquet has an enormous opportunity before us for the Star Duels. No one has ever seen it in a million years, could it be that you have not seen it either, Ye Futu?”
If no one has seen it in a million years, how the hell am I supposed to have seen it? Ye Futu was bewildered. He muttered: ”The Treasure Banquet is the gathering of the absolute majority of the Azure Dragon Territory's, maybe even the Three Territories', cultivator sects, but what relation does this have with the Star Duels? Futu does not understand.”
Suddenly, Ye Futu recalled something: ”Could it be that Taisui truly wants to release that Prehistoric Emperor Liao to terrorize the Azure Dragon?”
Shijiu Ying showed a slight sneer: ”Are you concerned about the Azure Dragon Territory?”
”No. However powerful the Prehistoric Liao Emperor is, Taisui must think carefully if he was to enter the world and we have no guarantee for ourselves.” Ye Futu gravely said.
”Ye Futu, do you know what comes after the Seven Stars Assembly?” Grandfather Li asked.
”Selection of the overlord.” Ye Futu did not understand why he would suddenly ask this.
Grandfather Li nodded and then said: ”Then you must know in your heart that even if we White Tiger Seven Spirit Stars ascended Maiden Mountain, there will inevitably internal strife at the end. Only one person can live, which is to say, let alone that you are reverent towards This Old Man for now, when that time comes, would you kill without so much as saying a word?”
Ye Futu did not retort. This logic was clear to everyone, and a retort would actually appear hypocritical. But Ye Futu still was not clear on what intentions this old man had by saying this so frankly? If it was a warning to him, Ye Futu did not believe he would be so bored with it.
”So we must release the Prehistoric Liao Emperor.” Han Bing was serious.
”Eh?” Ye Futu was even more confused: ”Could you explain a bit more clearly? Futu honestly does not understand how the Seven Stars Assembly and the Liao Emperor have anything to do with one another.”
”The Liao Emperor, in fact, fell from Maiden Mountain. You should know that their1 cultivations already surpass Transforming Star of Annihilation. If it can release them,2 then we can rely on them to break Maiden Mountain's barrier and assault Maiden Mountain together. By doing so, not only us, even the other Star Masters of the Azure Dragon Territory, Vermilion Bird Territory, and the Black Turtle Territory are merely so.” Grandfather Li slightly smiled, and Ye Futu only felt his whole body tremble.
He had heard an unbelievable thing.
”The Liao Emperor came down from Maiden Mountain?”
”In these Star Duels, we will not only become the Overlord, we will also attack Maiden Mountain and show those people our power!!!” Grandfather Li showed a cold and fanatical smile. The old man glanced at the woman Zijin beside him. His expression recovered its softness: ”This is something This Old Man and Zijin decided.”
Zijin grunted, a tacit confirmation.
Ye Futu was greatly astonished. He had never thought that the White Tiger Territory's Seven Spirit Star would be unexpectedly have this secret. No wonder that Ziin would sign a contract with this old monster. It turned out she wanted to overthrow Maiden Mountain…This…This was too ludicrous. Even the Ye Futu who had seen gales and billows felt that the events unfolding before his eyes were somewhat outside his common sense.
”Attack Maiden Mountain…This…Could this Liao Emperor truly do such a thing?” Ye Futu asked in shock.
”This Old Man is certain.”
”But why take action against the other Star Masters. If we work together…”
”Humans are ridiculous. Star Masters are loyal to no one. Rather than making those sects join in, it is better to seize the opportunity to make them Starfall, hmph. To be honest with you, this time, the Azure Dragon Territory will inevitably be destroyed, here and now. We are already prepared to collaborate with the Black Turtle Territory's Devil Palace and the Vermilion Bird Territory's Demi-kin to subjugate the Azure Dragon Territory. The greatest bloodbath since the beginning of Liangshan Continent's history will be on the Treasure Banquet's final day. Ye Futu, you must not stand on the wrong side of things.” Shijiu Ying laughed wildly, his mood very refreshed.
Cang Feng said: ”Brother Futu, just relax. This time, we will only act against those Ten Great Sects and Star Masters gathered in the Dragon Palace. After all, the Great Liang Dynasty is already arrogant, different from the past, but does Brother Futu not want to take this opportunity to slay the Purple Thunder Monster?”
Ye Futu only then understood Grandfather Li's plan – use the climactic festival of the Crystal Dragon Palace Treasure Banquet to massacre all in one fell swoop. This was a bold style, but this signified becoming enemies with all of the Azure Dragon Territory's cultivators at the same time. Was this old man so confident in that Prehistoric Liao Emperor???
”But Star Masters with the Outlaw Jade Pendant would flee, would they not? Even if afterwards the Liao Emperor meddled in the Star Duels, that Chao Gai would definitely handle her.”3 Ye Futu said.
”Therefore, this time, we want you to go see the Ancestral Master of the Most High Path. According to what we know, the Crystal Dragon Palace's Imperial Empress Long Wanxin has already lent out twelve of the Connecting Heaven Ocean Settling Pearls to him. This is a golden opportunity. This time, no Star Master will be able to escape. They will die, without doubt, and that Purple Thunder Monster naturally will, too.” Han Bing indifferently explained.
”En. A servant like yourself would not want to wait until that Purple Thunder Monster actually obtains the Three Heavenly Books, correct? When that time comes, what chance of victory would we have?” Xiang Chenxing also spoke up.
