1818 Life and Death; Wuxie Arrived. (1/2)
Master Bai's sharp eyes scared Xiu'er.
She hadn't seen her master's eyes being so sharp for a long time.
Xiu'er kept her head low and said, ”That's the information we have…”
Master Bai took a deep breath and said, ”What about the Hall of Returning Nature?”
”The Two Tigers of the Hall of Returning Nature died. The Golden Phoenix of the Three Phoenixes died. The Red Phoenix survived because Ye Xiao wanted her to return with a message. The Four Kong Warriors and the Eight Sky Masters died! Meng Wuzhen had sent two Undead Stage cultivators to make sure they won the war, but these two were dead now!”
- Pang! -
Master Bai hit the table with his hand. ”With all those powerful men, the Hall of Returning Nature still lost. Meng Wuzhen is useless!”
'Master lost control again.'
Xiu'er looked at Master Bai, who was always calm and elegant. She was surprised.
'It was surprising. The Undead Stage cultivators shouldn't have died… But… He doesn't need to lose control, does he?'
'The House of Chaotic Storms hasn't been in the Human Realm Upon Heavens for a long time. However, it lives for a long time in the Land of Han-Yang and the Qing-Yun Realm. Because of the wisdom of the Master, we never lost any important people. Ye Xiao seems to be as good as Master now. However, even if Ye Xiao has become this powerful, should Master lose control like this?'
Xiu'er was confused. Master Bai blandly sighed and said, ”Xiu'er, you don't understand. That is not just about this battle. There is more…”
Xiu'er was confused.
Master Bai said, ”It is one's life. It is one's destiny!”
Xiu'er was still confused. ”Master, I am lost.”
Master Bai blandly smiled and said, ”Forget it. You don't have to understand. I can handle it myself.”
Master Bai slowly closed his eyes. He had a few words in his mind. Destiny. Heavenly Dao. Luck. Variance… He didn't say it aloud.
After a while, he said, ”Has the Hall of Returning Nature sent their most mysterious men?”
”No. Ye Xiao didn't send the Five Kings either. It is said that the Monarch's Hall doesn't have Five Kings yet… But the Hall of Returning Nature wouldn't believe it.” Xiu'er said, ”So the Hall of Returning Nature didn't send their best men for the battle…”
Master Bai smiled and said, ”Ye Xiao is truly a lucky man. Meng Wuzhen actually lost a great opportunity. What a fool!”
He took a few steps ahead and said, ”Ye Xiao is good at dan-making. In seven days, the superior cultivators in the Monarch's Hall will recover. Bu Xiangfeng has always been better than those at the same cultivation level… I think we have a person who is as good as Bu Xiangfeng. They are quite similar to each other!”
He didn't wait for any response. He said, ”Tell Yang Rui to kill the Jade Phoenix in eleven days!”
Xiu'er was surprised. ”Jade Phoenix? Why?”
”Just try to kill her. I need him to do the assassination, but it doesn't have to succeed. Tell Yang Rui to stay alive!”
Master Bai said, ”He must try to do it just like Bu Xiangfeng would do. Make it a secret. Do not leave any traces that can be tracked to us.”
Xiu'er nodded and said, ”Yes. I will deliver the order.”
”No rush.” Master Bai said, ”Don't tell him now. If he knows the target now, he will raise the killing intent against the target. I don't want our guy to make any tiny changes. Just give him the order in nine days. He will do the assassination on the eleventh day. That is the best way to keep the assassination a secret!”
”Yes!”
”By the way, start to cover our real power in the south-east. Other directions remain the same.”
”Yes!”
”Let Muzi go to the City of Chaos. Make some trouble but be careful. Tell him to come back immediately if his identity is exposed. Make a plan for his retreat before he goes!”
”Yes!”
Master Bai slowly walked out the door. He watched the bamboo forest outside and blandly said, ”It isn't easy to watch the tigers fight. When the Hall of Returning Nature falls, my war against Ye Xiao begins!”
The dark clouds covered the sky. It started to snow.
Master Bai reached out a hand and held a snowflake. He said, ”I heard that it had been snowing for three months in the City of Chaos. Is it true?”
”We are in different areas. Nobody can control the weather.” Xiu'er said, ”It snows later than the City of Chaos.”
Master Bai said, ”Why? Why is it later here?”
Xiu'er was shocked.
That was unexpected. She didn't know what to say.
The climates in the two areas were different. Sometimes one side was in summer while the other side was in winter. Nobody knew why!
Master Bai stood in the falling snowflakes. He became white like a part of the snow. He said, ”Find out why Ye Xiao didn't attend the battle when it began. I want to know what he has been doing during the three months!”
Xiu'er nodded and said, ”We are working on it. Even people in the Monarch's Hall don't know much about it.”
”It is different timing now. The Monarch's Hall has won. They won't try so hard to keep the secret anymore. I want to know it in three days.” Master Bai blandly said.
”Yes!”
Master Bai had done the first arrangement.
He walked into the heavy snow with both hands behind his back. It seemed nothing if the world had anything to do with him anymore. In his mind, there was only the snow.
Xiu'er stood in the snow with him. She knew that Master Bai would be happy when it started to snow.
He was happy.
However, this time, she felt something different. It seemed like something else was bothering Master Bai… It seemed like he wanted to meet somebody but had to wait before the time came…
