Chapter 809 - Framed (1/2)

The audience knew Consort Tian Si and Zhong Yue were competing, but in what exactly was something they couldn't tell. But by the looks of it, both were just as strong as one another.

Little did they know that although Zhong Yue and Consort Tian Si were playing the zither and singing, they were in fact, testing each other's attainments in the art of Karma. Consort Tian Si tried to include him into her Karmic Web, to control his fate; and Zhong Yue was trying to do the same to her.

They were competing in their art of Karma and their divinatory calculation technique. And the result was clear, they both couldn't triumph over the other and ended up having their fingers cut.

One was playing a melodious zither and the other sang like a barbarian; they looked like they were musicians performing an enchanting concert, but the change of bouts in this battle was even more deadly than ordinary blood battles!

But of course, the enchanting concert was flawed a little by Zhong Yue's gross lyrics and hoarse voice.

Consort Tian Si returned to the pavilion and smiled coquettishly, "It's a surprise to see someone as formidable as you. Mister Yi, you and I, we will have a lot more yet to be settled."

Zhong Yue smiled, "Consort, where did that come from?"

Consort Tian Si chuckled, she said placidly, "Because we serve different masters, that's why. Everyone, please excuse me." As she finished, she waved her long skirt and bowed at the crowd before leaving the scene.

Zhong Yue's heart moved and he took a glance at Yang Changsheng, Different masters? Is her master the Zhongyang Clan's Yan Changsheng? Although Yang Changsheng is from one of the sovereign clans, he isn't capable of subduing her, is he?

Although Consort Tian Si's achievements in the art of Karma wasn't stronger than his, her prowess was immeasurable. In addition to her divinatory calculation technique, her intelligence was far above his!

Zhong Yue had felt it clearly just now.

Knitting a Karmic Web that includes all of the factions and forces in the Zi Wei Galaxy had taken up all of his brain cells. But the lady's cultivation base was higher than his and so was her intellectual ability.

During the battle, they were competing with only their attainments in the art of Karma, if the battle were to continue any longer, Zhong Yue would soon find himself defeated by her.

Thus, knowing his defeat would come soon, Zhong Yue decisively sang an uncultured song and shattered Consort Tian Si's melodious zither music.

To those like them, it was more than easy to manipulate the developments of the situation in the galaxy.

Whereas Yang Changsheng was just a god, how was he ever capable of achieving what they have?

It was quite unlikely.

Thus, the 'master' Consort Tian Si was referring to was someone other than Yang Changsheng. Her 'master' would be one who that was at least on par with the Heavenly Monarch and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.

Only those who stood at the level dared to manipulate the factions!

Those proficient in the art of Karma like us are not people others would like to mess with. She doesn't even have to do it on her own to harm me! I need to be more cautious from now!

Zhong Yue furtively raised his guard. Straight up after they met, Consort Tian Si had tried to include him into her Karmic Web; thus, it was clear he was her target and that she wasn't an ally.

We serve different masters. If my 'master' refers to Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, then her 'master' would be someone who is hostile against him. Whereas for any other force, the best way to drown Imperial Emperor Xian Tian into troubles was to provoke the war between him and Heavenly Monarch. Which means…

He furtively glanced over at Mu Qingxuan and mulled, Consort Tian Si and I share the same goal—we both want the little princess of the Xian Tian Palace dead, to light the first spark of fire in the upcoming war!

If he was able to realize that Xian Tian Palace's little princess was the trigger for war, then so could Consort Tian Si. Surely enough, she had also come to the same conclusion as Zhong Yue; thus, her target, or to be precise, her master's target was to kill Mu Qingxuan and let chaos ruin the universe so they could find the golden opportunity to seize the fruit of victory!

Zhong Yue had it all figured out as clear as crystal, they had the same goal and used the same methods. However, it was never possible for him to allow himself to be included into Consort Tian Si's Karmic Web.

Whether or not Mu Qingxuan died was none of his concern, but there was simply no way he would involve himself in this matter!

If the manipulators were included as part of the game, they would lose their role as manipulators and become one of the many chess pieces on the board. They wouldn't even be able to control their own fate, let alone that of others!

Zhong Yue would be placed at an extremely precarious position if he was involved in it, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian wouldn't even spare him!

Rays flashed across Zhong Yue's eyes, he smiled, "It is a great fortune for the Zhongyang Clan to have such a mystical lady like Consort Tian Si. Allow me to congratulate Changsheng first now."

Yang Changsheng reciprocated the formality and asked curiously, "Mister Yi, why do you say so?"

Zhong Yue was puzzled, he smiled, "Isn't Consort Tian Si your servant?"

Yang Changsheng was dawned, he laughed, "Mister Yi, you've mistaken! Consort Tian Si is not my servant, she is Royal Prince Wen Dao's."

Royal Prince Wen Dao shook while laughing, "Changsheng, you are the one who is mistaken! Isn't Consort Tian Si Brother Lu Wang's servant? Am I right, Brother Yue? I see that you are very familiar with her."

Lu Wang was puzzled, he looked at Lu Binger and said, "Sister, she is with you, isn't she?"

Lu Binger's face changed drastically, she shook in reply, "When I saw you welcoming Royal Prince Wen Dao, Junior Martial Brother Changsheng, and the rest, she was with them, so I thought she was one of theirs, I didn't ask…"

The experts' face changed dramatically, Consort Tian Si had just walked into the Li Lu Clan's sacred land as if it was her own house, and even made them think she was one of them!

"Chase!" Lu Binger yelled. She flew into the sky and bolted while shouting, "Don't let her escape!"
