Immortal Soaring Blade

Vol.2-Chapter 256 – Liu Province

At this moment, the Hundred Flower Valley and the Void Suspension Monastery were talking about similar things as the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect.

The Ten Thousand Dao Sect, Yue Hua Academy, and the Great Barbarian Sect were gathered together. It was rather lively, and they were also talking about the mission to exterminate the evil cultivators. However, Elder Black and Elder White were not there. After this matter was over, all the disciples returned to rest. The only people left in the room were Daoist Fu Qing, the Great Barbarian King, and Song Chucai. It was obvious they still had some unfinished business to talk about.

There were a few red candles lighting up the room, and the light reflecting on their faces was a bit gloomy. Daoist Fu Qing’s brows furrowed deeply, while Song Chucai occasionally looked at the other two. His eyes revealed that he was secretly thinking about something. Compared to the two that were scheming, the Great Devil King was much more calm. Although his face was expressionless, he was very relaxed.

“Are we just going to let this go?” Perhaps because Song Chucai couldn’t stand the atmosphere anymore, he finally spoke. However, he didn’t even look at the Great Devil King, he directly stared at Daoist Fu Qing.

“What else can we do? Didn’t you see that even Dawn Wind came? What can we do against a Mahayana Realm cultivator? Even if we did make a move, we don’t have the confidence in forcing Dawn Wind to stay, so it's better not to make a move. Don’t worry, the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect will be destroyed.”

Daoist Fu Qing spoke softly, but he couldn’t help but curse Song Chucai. Song Chucai was scheming to use the Ten Thousand Dao Sect to deal with the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect and put all the blame on them. The Ten Thousand Dao Sect was not this stupid. If no Mahayana Realm cultivator had come with the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect, Daoist Fu Qing might have really made a move. However, with Dawn Wind here, he completely gave up on the idea. This matter was of great importance, and he still had to discuss it with the other elders in the sect. What’s more, they had been planning this for a long time, so they were in no rush.

Seeing Song Chucai’s unwilling expression, Dao Fu Qing pondered a bit before speaking again. This was a powerful ally, and the Ten Thousand Dao Sect’s strength couldn’t destroy the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect on their own.

“Besides, the Hundred Flower Valley’s Shadowless Old Lady is still here, and we don’t know where she stands. We can’t allow any kind of accident to occur here now. When you and the Great Devil King come to the Battle Competition, bring the Mahayana Realm cultivators from your sect. The three of us will act together then. How about it?”

Thinking about this, Song Chucai felt that what Daoist Fu Qing had said was reasonable, and he had no reason to refuse. However, he still had a trick up his sleeve. “Then, during this mission, should we make a move against that brat? It would be a simple matter to make sure that that brat never returns.”

“No, it's not worth affecting the overall plan for such a trivial matter. Also, is it interesting to make a move against a junior?” It was the Great Devil King who spoke out this time. His tone was unfriendly and his body gave off a sense of pressure.

“You!” Song Chucai didn’t expect the Great Devil King dared to speak to him with this tone. The Great Devil King was half a step below Song Chucai and could only compete by relying on his physical body. The Great Barbarian Sect was also the weakest among the holy lands—everyone knew this. That’s why Song Chucai never considered the Great Devil King a threat.

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Daoist Fu Qing was a bit anxious. Both of them were important allies. Although the Great Barbarian Sect was not as strong, Daoist Fu Qing liked the Great Devil King because he didn’t scheme and wholeheartedly followed his Ten Thousand Dao Sect. Song Chucai was too cunning, and although he looked like he was working with them on the surface, he had his own plans.

“Okay, okay, he didn’t have any other meaning. There is no need to scheme against a junior. Also, something might happen during this mission, so it will be a good experience for them.” Seeing that the alliance between the three of them was going to break down, Daoist Fu Qing quickly intervened.

The Great Devil King was too lazy to care. Since Daoist Fu Qing didn’t want them to fight, he sat down. However, he was not afraid of Song Chucai. Even though his Great Barbarian Sect was weaker than Yue Hua Academy, Yue Hua Academy didn’t have the power to destroy the Great Barbarian Sect.

“We don’t need to make a move, we just have to tell Xu Zhu and Ye Aotian to do it.”

Song Chucai didn’t finish speaking before he was interrupted by Daoist Fu Qing. “There is no need. Our target is the three rank-2 spirit veins and the countless treasures in the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect. Don’t get so hung up on something so insignificant. We are going to join forces to destroy the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect, why do you care about the life of a Chief Head Disciple? Not to mention, that brat is merely at the Spirit Core Realm. He might die at the hands of those evil cultivators.”

Seeing that Dao Fu Qing's tone was a bit unhappy, Song Chucai smiled and dropped the subject. Thinking about all the treasures they would obtain, there was a flash of joy in his eyes.

The Great Devil King saw Song Chucai’s expression and let out a cold snort. He muttered the word “Sanctimonious” so softly that no one but him heard it. He didn’t like how hypocritical Song Chucai was. Song Chucai was the most vicious and was willing to do anything to come out on top.

Daoist Fu Qing clearly saw the flash of light in Song Chucai’s eyes. Then an imperceptible hint of coldness appeared in Daoist Fu Qing’s eyes and he thought,?“Do you think you’re the only one that knows how to scheme?”

Daoist Fu Qing stroked his beard and finally said, “That’s fine, let’s settle this. We’ll allow the disciples to get some good practical experience. In two years, when it’s time for the Battle Competition, bring your sects’ Mahayana Realm cultivators. It won’t be too late to deal with the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect then.

The Great Devil King nodded and left. He was too lazy to deal with the matter of targeting the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect. He would do whatever Daoist Fu Qing told him, as long as he got the benefits at the end. Otherwise, he was too lazy to care. This was why Daoist Fu Qing liked him.

Song Chucai quickly agreed and cheerfully left. However, Daoist Fu Qing easily saw through his hidden thoughts. As for who would succeed, that would depend on their own skills. After all, Daoist Fu Qing was not one to be trifled with, and the Ten Thousand Dao Sect’s ambition was not as simple as it looked on the surface.

The next morning.

When the sky had just become bright, more than a dozen people were gathered at the square. The square was surrounded by luscious, green mountains, and the air was fresh. Although it wasn’t filled with spirit force like the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect, it was still filled with energy. It was a rare location—it was no wonder the Ten Thousand Dao Sect had chosen this place as the location of their sect. Each sect had their own reasons to choose their location.

There were fewer people on the square compared to yesterday; only a few people from each holy land were present. The rest of the elite disciples and elders were still resting. Only the leader and the Chief Head Disciple of each holy land were there.

Daoist Fu Qing looked at the seven disciples before him and said, “Today is the day you all set off. You must have understood the danger of this mission last night. If anyone who wants to leave, decide now. Once you head out, you can’t quit.”

After pausing for a while, no one spoke up. This was normal, as no normal person would choose to quit now. After all, there were many people watching, and it was a matter of honor for the sect.

Daoist Fu Qing reached into the void and seven pale, yellow lights appeared. He flicked one to each of the seven disciples, and everyone had a yellow jade tube in their hands.

Daoist Fu Qing passionately said, “This is the information about this mission. All the information is there. The detailed map is also inside. Since there are no objections, head out. I will wait here with your elders for your triumphant return.”

Zhao Jiuge was nervous and excited at the same time. This would be his first time travelling so far. He didn’t immediately check the jade tube; he calmed himself first. He looked at everyone else and found that none of them seemed to be taking this mission seriously. Even Song Rujing was expressionless.

Seeing Zhao Jiuge looking over, the little girl snorted and turned her head away. It looked like she was still a bit angry about him teasing her yesterday.

“Let’s head out.” Daoist Fu Qing had one hand behind his back and waved his other sleeve.

Zhao Jiuge looked up at his teacher. Jian Wuxian softly said, “Go, and pay attention to your safety. Don’t forget what I told you last night. I’ll be waiting here for you.” Because there were a lot of people present, Jian Wuxian didn’t say much.

The others had similar conversations. Ye Aotian and Xu Zhu had walked out, followed by Jiang Fuding. When Ye Aotian saw Zhao Jiuge, his eyes revealed a cruel smile, but he didn’t say anything.

Xu Zhu raised his right hand and a mass of green light appeared. A green flying boat appeared in the air. The green flying boat was about five meters long, with a dragon head caved at the front. The middle was an open space where a few people could sit, and the back was a dragon tail. The treasure was made of an unknown material, but it looked precious. This was the second time Zhao Jiuge had seen a treasure like this. The first time he saw Ling Bo Re, she had used a similar one back at the cold pool.

Zhao Jiuge felt some envy in his heart. This kind of treasure didn’t require spirit force to fly, and he decided that when he had the materials, he would get Ou Yezi to refine him one. Xu Zhu, Ye Aotian, and Jiang Fuding got on the boat.

Xu Zhu sat in front and then said goodbye to his teacher before he left the Ten Thousand Dao Sect with the green flying boat. The boat left a trail of green light before it disappeared.

Their destination was the Southern Province next to the Barbarian Province, while Zhao Jiuge’s group was going to the Liu Province next to the Barbarian Province. Because they were going to different locations, the difficulty levels of their missions were different, and the information they had obtained in the yellow jade tubes was different as well.

Seeing Xu Zhu’s group of three leave, Zhao Jiuge let out a sigh of relief. It was time for them to move as well!
