503 The Odd Change of the Flipping Sky Seal The Craziness of Secret Skill Part 1 (1/2)
”Hey, you're still here?” After going through some matters with Jiang Xiao, Zhou Bao returned to the Inner Yard, and found to his surprise, that White Tiger was in his study room, waiting for him.
”I was just curious to find out how this matter was resolved so easily!” White Tiger gave Zhou Bao a puzzled look. ”Before I came, I was worried that things would get out of control!”
”Do you think I'm that silly?” Zhou Bao laughed coldly. ”Your stance is even more aggressive than the Palace's. Even if I had full confidence in myself, I would not be so silly as to take on the five biggest sects all at once!” At this point, a glum expression came over Zhou Bao's face. ”If I recall correctly, I am also a member of the Immortal Palace. I'm even one of the 28 constellations. Why does the Immortal Palace consider me to be an enemy? They even dared to scheme against me at the Infinite Star Sea!”
White Tiger's expression remained unchanged. He smiled. ”You've misunderstood. The one who schemed against you at the Infinite Star Sea was Divine Wind Palace, not the Immortal Palace. At that point, we thought that concealing your identity would be hugely advantageous, so that's why we cooperated with them. As for the details, I was about to explain to you in person, but little did I realize that you've already received the news!”
”I also know that that damn Zhi IX has been stirring up trouble among us!”
At this moment, White Tiger was finally convinced. ”I have really underestimated you. Even Wang She is probably not aware of this news. Likewise for Golden Rooster. Seems like you have a better source for the latest news!”
”Don't try to test me. It would be useless. You're right, I do indeed have other news sources. But I won't share them with you!” Zhou Bao laughed coldly. ”Why exactly are you still here?”
”Mainly because of what you told me earlier. But I must correct one point: Zhi IX is indeed plotting against you, but only on the terms that you do not accept today's condition!”
White Tiger added gently, ”In fact, I had a discussion with him before I came here. Even if you were to disagree, we would not fight with you directly. Zhi IX has already drawn up a list of attacks to use against you. They have prepared themselves very well, but they did not expect that you would agree immediately. All his set-ups are of no use now. Seems like after Zhi IX received the news, he had a firsthand experience of what it feels like to be defeated!”
”Am I Zhi IX's enemy? Why is he treating me like this?”
”Zhi IX is on very good terms with Mingyi School. He thinks he is an intellectual and likes everything to be meticulously planned. He pursues the kind of world where every move and every thought are like chess pieces; all within his control and every move is calculated. And you, you are the disobedient chess piece that messed up his entire plan. Of course he wants to eliminate you. It's nothing personal.”
”Damn, how unlucky I am to come across a lunatic like him!” Zhou Bao swore. ”Then, is there a way to eliminate this Zhi IX? He is really a thorn in my side! If he could not find trouble with me now, he would definitely try to find trouble with me the next time. Why not eliminate him once and for all?”
”You want to fight with Zhi IX? It will not be easy. Although his cultivation and strength are both not very impressive, he's one of Yu Taixu's top man. If something happens to him, Yu Taixu will definitely come after you!”
”Yu Taixu?”
”That's right. Yu Taixu, Lord of Divine Wind Palace, Family Head of the Yu family!” At this point, White Tiger seemed to recall something and immediately flashed a huge grin. ”I heard that Divine Wind Palace incurred huge losses this time at Azure Heaven. Not only did they lose quite a few Venerable Realm Genuine Immortals, but Yu Taicang lost his own blood brother as well. The Lord of Heaven Realm, Yu Taicang, has been stuck in the Azure Secret Area and his fairy weapon has gone missing. That caused a great damage to his pneuma!”
”No...? Is this some sort of trick played by Divine Wind Palace? A Genuine Immortal at the Lord of Heaven Realm could easily kill a Venerable Realm Immortal with a mere snap of his fingers. He's still trapped even though he has a fairy weapon?” Zhou Bao had an odd expression on his face with a hint of incredulity. ”I think Divine Wind Palace is releasing such false news so that they can keep the Azure Secret Area to themselves. You guys may have fallen into their trap. Anyway this would not be the first time!”
Hearing Zhou Bao's ruthless snide remarks, White Tiger looked a little unhappy. However, he didn't know how else to explain it either. The defeat of the four great sects by Divine Wind Palace at the Azure Secret Area was an indisputable fact. Whenever this subject was brought up, the four great sects always felt completely mortified. Divine Wind Palace was much more powerful than them and this was the outcome.
Of course, the only reason why they were able to clear the scene so easily was because Divine Wind Palace had honored their commitment and to the enormous losses at the Azure Secret Area.
”This news is accurate. In Divine Wind Palace, Yu Taicang is presumed to be dead already. Recently Yu Taixu has been busy trying to reincarnate what is left of Yu Taicang's spirit in the Golden Book of Fate. News has it that he is furious!”
”Reincarnating his spirit!” Zhou Bao's eyes twitched. ”If that is so, then he must be aware of the events that took place in the Azure Secret Area right?”
