Lady Su's Revenge

Chapter 665 You Seem to Be in a State of Disarray

In the wild wind, Fang Huaji’s withered face was as calm as still water and his white hair was fluttering behind.

He was waiting for the blood-red veins to spread throughout the Qingshui Circle.

No matter who tried to stop him at this stage, he wouldn’t hold his hand.

“Senior.”

With hair disheveled, Bai Su knelt beside Fang Huaji and was in a state of utter disarray. He looked up at Fang Huaji, and starlight welled up in his eyes.

“Do you know I’ve divined? Do you know… What had I seen after the war started?”

“What is it?”

Fang Huaji seemed to be in a good mood and even asked Bai Su with an obscure smile on his face, “Will I win or lose?”

Bai Su’s eyes turned grave, “The Tianhe Sect will be destroyed!”

“Oh.”

Fang Huaji nodded indifferently and turned to Bai Su, who looked serious, continuing, “So what? I wonder if I win… or lose? Didn’t you see it?”

Bai Su’s face stiffened.

Fang Huaji didn’t even care about the Tianhe Sect’s destruction. He was really crazy!

“Your Excellency the Fate Ancestor, I have bad news!”

The lord of the Shengtian Shrine rushed in from outside and reported with a startled look, “Just now, there was an explosion in the Tianhe Sect. Then blood-red veins appeared on the ground and are spreading throughout the Qingshui Circle.”

Bai Ming turned around and pointed to the small golden tower.

“I know it already.”

The lord of the Shengtian Shrine looked at the image emerging in the small golden tower. The blood-red veins were moving forward like long snakes and eroded several miles in a moment.

The lord of the Shengtian Shrine said with horror, “At this speed, blood-red veins will occupy the whole Qingshui Circle within three months. How can we stop it, Your Excellency?”

“Stop it?”

Bai Ming shifted his eyes from the small golden tower to the lord of the Shengtian Shrine. His smile remained, “Why should we stop it?”

The lord of the Shengtian Shrine was astounded and blurted out, “Isn’t the Tianhe Sect our enemy?”

“Just go away and leave it alone. I have a sense of propriety. By the way, call Qu Liancheng here.”

Seeing Bai Ming’s complete confidence, the lord of the Shengtian Shrine was no longer flustered. He bowed to him and left.

A few moments later, the owner of the Ankui Valley came to the hall of the Fate Palace and stopped in front of Bai Ming. He bowed and said respectfully, “Qu Liancheng greets, Your Excellency.”

Bai Ming gave a light response, “Well. How’s your wound?”

The Owner of the Ankui Valley turned gloomy and shook his head, “If not for your help, I’m afraid I would have become a dull puppet like those grand elders. I have researched Su Li’s Blood Poison so far, but I still have no way to solve it. Even… I can’t suppress it. It makes me ashamed.”

Bai Ming nodded slightly, “In that case, suspend your research first. I have something else for you.”

Qu Liancheng paused and asked, “What is it?”

“Go to find Yin Lin. She’ll perform the task with you. Just follow her lead.”

Hearing Bai Ming’s words, Qu Liancheng was depressed inside. His status immediately became inferior to Yin Lin’s after being poisoned.

Bai Ming was really a profit-oriented person…

Qu Liancheng nodded in silence. He originally adhered to the idea that the weak were the prey to the strong. At this moment, he couldn’t play at half his usual strength under the influence of Blood Poison, so he was not suitable to charge ahead.

After walking out of the hall, Qu Liancheng came to Yin Lin’s place in the Fate Palace. At the sight of him, the maid in the Huangxing Hall greeted him at once.

“Your Excellency, my mistress has been waiting for a long time.”

Qu Liancheng showed a self-deprecating smile and stepped in. He saw Yin Lin standing in front of the candelabra in the center of the hall, with her back turned to him.

“You’re here.”

Hearing the movements, Yin Lin turned around, and her pretty young face caught Qu Liancheng’s eyes.

“His Excellency might have told you something. Our following task is rather simple.”

Hearing this, Qu Liancheng hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, “Will we really not cause a big trouble if we leave the Tianhe Sect alone?”

Yin Lin blinked and said in a cold tone, “Owner Qu, you talk too much. His Excellency doesn’t like us to question his decision. It was nothing in the past, but now your life is under his control.”

Sweat stains appeared on Qu Liancheng’s forehead，he deflected the question after a short silence, “What are we going to do?”

“Your Ankui Valley is the original Du Hall of the Qingshui Palace and mastered the strange poison that can work on the practitioners in nature’s test. As for our Huangxing Hall, we’re good at divining but have weak fighting capacity. His Excellency ordered us to perform the task together, so naturally, I will guide you to poison.”

Qu Liancheng suddenly understood the reason. Were they going to poison in secret?

“Who is the target?”

Yin Lin smiled and shook her head under Qu Liancheng’s astounded gaze, “It’s not a person, but… a sect.”

“A sect?”

Qu Liancheng raised his voice, “Is it the Tianhe Sect? But His Excellency told me to leave it alone…”

“No, it’s the Shengtian Shrine.”

Yin Lin interrupted Qu Liancheng, which made him even more shocked.

The Shengtian Shrine was the most loyal to the Fate Palace among the top three holy sects. In terms of the number and cultivation levels of disciples, they were superior to the Ankui Valley and Huangxing Hall. However, was the Fate Ancestor now going to secretly deal with the Shengtian Shrine?

Why?

Qu Liancheng was puzzled, but he dared not to ask Yin Lin. After all, his relationship with Yin Lin was not as harmonious as it seemed.

“How can we guess what is on His Excellency’s mind?”

Yin Lin showed a charming smile, “He gives me orders, and I’ll do my best to satisfy him.”

“What if he asked you to destroy the Huangxing Hall?”

Qu Liancheng sneered, but Yin Lin responded in a natural way, “How can a sect be comparable to His Excellency’s great aspiration?”

Qu Liancheng kept a straight face. Although he wasn’t familiar with Yin Lin before, she was now a complete stranger to him. Yin Lin didn’t even care about her own sect. How exactly did Bai Ming bewitch her?

If Bai Ming instructed him to destroy his own sect, he would… never be able to do that.

“Qu Liancheng, you’d better think it over.”

Yin Lin stopped smiling and continued, “Is the Shengtian Shrine which unrelated to you more important? Or your life? I really don’t like to cooperate with a fool.”

“You…”

Qu Liancheng turned gloomy and shook his sleeves with a cold snort, “I have no objection to dealing with the Shengtian Shrine. Head Yin, I’m at your disposal.”

“Owner Qu, you’re so sensible in fact.”

Yin Lin restored her smile, “The Shengtian Shrine is defenseless against us, so we have no difficulty in making a surprise attack. However, the subsequent steps will be a problem. Since Su Li’s poison is so fierce… you must know how to put the blame on her. Don’t rush to poison.”

“Humph! It’s not your turn to teach me how to poison.”

Qu Liancheng dropped a sentence and turned out of the hall, “I’ll go to prepare the poisons. You’d better finish divination before the poisons are ready.”

Yin Lin looked at his back and gave a faint smile. A trace of pity appeared in her eyes, but only existed for a moment before disappearing.

She came to the hall of the Fate Palace and stopped beside Bai Ming. Then she stared at the small spinning golden tower and withdrew her pretended awe just now in front of Qu Liancheng, chuckling, “Qu Liancheng had gone to prepare the poisons.”

“Well done.”

Bai Ming walked to sit on the couch aside and looked through a water mirror at the withered figure below the dark cloud center, “When this matter is over, I’ll give the second half of the Ancient Spell Book to you, including the Method of Starry Sky Shuttle. Even if you cannot become an immortal due to the natural law, you can leave here. Then you’ll ascend into a semi-immortal in the Starry Sky and complete your leap in life level.”

Yin Lin’s eyes fluttered and she gave a casual salute, “Well. Thank you, Your Excellency.”

“You have worked for me for the longest time among all the servants. As my trusted subordinate, how can I treat you shabbily? You’re special, unlike those nobodies.”

Bai Ming lay lazily down on the couch and smiled at Yin Lin, saying firmly, “You should have something else besides this.”

“Nothing can be hidden in front of you.”

With a pleasant smile, Yin Lin sat in the corner of the couch and gently massaged Bai Ming’s shoulders, “I have a question.”

“For the sake of my good mood today, just go ahead.”

Bai Ming said softly and looked at Yin Lin as if she was his beloved concubine.

“Is there really no antidote to Qu Liancheng’s poison?”

Yin Lin blinked her eyes and asked in a curious tone.

Bai Ming narrowed his eyes and cast a deep glance at Yin Lin, which made her hair stand on end and her heart beat a bit faster. Then Bai Ming responded leisurely, “Qu Liancheng isn’t as stupid as Ling Kun and has commendable performance over the past 10,000 years. He is a good example and only slightly inferior to you. So why should I lie to him?”

“Su Li was just a pawn created by you. Is she so capable?”

Yin Lin looked puzzled, “Are there still exceptions in this circle that are beyond your control?”

“I’m not omniscient, so naturally there are things I’m not good at.”

Bai Ming chuckled and sighed with emotion, “As long as it is tied to the life level, nothing is easy.”

Yin Lin’s eyes lit up, and a sudden memory came to her. However, she didn’t show it and pretended to apologize, “I was rude. Your Excellency’s talent will be also bound to be unique even in the Starry Sky.”

Bai Ming wasn’t swayed by her praise and just said softly, “You’ve been here for too long today.”

Yin Lin stood up hastily and bowed with a chuckle on her pretty face.

“Then I’ll leave first.”

On the other side, Qu Liancheng returned to the Ankui Valley and went to the holy land to make poison at once. When passing by the Holy Boy Hall, he somehow pushed open the door, even though he hadn’t cared about the holy boy.

It reeked of alcohol and a faint stench inside.

Qu Liancheng covered his nose with a cuff and frowned. He turned to leave, but he suddenly sensed the endless sorrow from the deep shadows.

Sorrow Thought?

Qu Liancheng’s pupils constricted in shock. He subconsciously recalled the “Qiyu Evil Martial Art”. Sorrow Thought was the fifth testing.

When the holy boy…

“Since old ancestor is here, why not come in? I’m awkward as you standing at the door.”

A clear cold voice came from the hall, but the sorrow in it made Qu Liancheng’s hair stand on end. However, he was a grand elder at least, so he calmed down soon and walked into the hall after a cold snort.

Among a pile of wine jars, Qu Liancheng found Qu Qingning, who had a bristly unshaven chin like a beggar, and instantly pulled a long face.

“B*stard, you’re in such a sorry state to disgrace the Ankui Valley!”

Qu Qingning looked up drunkenly and gave an evil smile, “When did you begin to care about we juniors? I haven’t practiced much recently, but I’m very sensitive to emotional changes. Old ancestor, you seemed to be in a state of disarray.”
