Chapter 1246: Chapter 1232: Baili He Chapter 1246: Chapter 1232: Baili He Breakfast was coming to an end.
Guo Yuyun stood up.
Song Xizhi ran back to get his sword.
Ouyang Yue asked Ye Chen, “You won’t lose control and beco possessed again, will you?”
Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, “It’s hard to say.”
“Then I’d better not get too close to you.”
“Indeed, or I would show no rcy.”
“Did you bring your Silver Needles?” She rembered that last ti, Ye Chen had used the box of Silver Needles he carried to seal key acupuncture points while he was half-human, half-demon, using his remaining consciousness to prevent the situation from worsening.
“Do you really not trust that much?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to trust you, but if sothing really happens, when the ti cos, should I stab you to death, or watch you beco possessed?”
“Then you might as well just stab to death.”
Ye Chen changed into another set of clothes.
Li Mo waited outside and called out again, “I’ll go find the Red Demonic Spirit and Black Demonic Spirit, and wait for you at the city gate.”
Guo Yuyun went back to their yard, and it looked like it would be a while before she could co over.
Ouyang Yue said to Ye Chen, “What’s wrong, you don’t seem very happy.”
Ye Chen remained silent.
“I think you should be especially happy, after several days of effort, you finally succeeded, and Yun’er has agreed. So why aren’t you happy?” Ouyang Yue seed to think that wasn’t enough, and added, “I think you’re just making trouble. Clearly, you’re unwilling in your heart, yet you insist on driving her away and then feeling sad about it. This is typical self-tornt.”
“Why do you have to be so annoying?”
Ouyang Yue laughed and said, “Even if you don’t want to ntion it, I must say it. It would’ve been nice for her to stay here for a few days. I really can’t understand why you have to behave like this.”
“Right, just provoke .”
“Self-torture.”
It wasn’t long before Yun’er, Song Xizhi, and Wu Jingge ca out.
Wu Jingge said, “I heard that the Moon Beast, along with the Demon God, Sea Demon, and Evil Spirit, are called the Four Great Divine Beasts.”
Ouyang Yue walked ahead and replied while walking, “Yes, and it’s the most formidable among them.”
Guo Yuyun’s father had given his life to kill the Demon God. He said, “If it’s so formidable, can we really subdue it?”
Ouyang Yue replied, “If it weren’t injured, we indeed would have a hard ti subduing it.”
“Injured?” Wu Jingge asked, puzzled.
“Qiandu Xiang fused with the Moon Beast, and it was injured by the power of the Sacred Spirit Stone summoned by Ye Chen. The injury was severe, and it won’t recover anyti soon.”
“I see, then we must capture it.”
“However, we still need to be cautious. Even though the Moon Beast is injured, it’s still very powerful. It has been trying to absorb spiritual energy to recover. If it truly does recover, it will be even more difficult to deal with.”
“So, you’re saying you don’t know to what extent it has recovered.”
“Hmm, not clear, that’s why I’m saying, when we face the Moon Beast later, you’d better stay out of the way, and we’ll handle it.”
“We can offer our help,” said Song Xizhi.
“It’s just an injured Moon Beast; we can deal with it.”
Li Mo arrived with a large group of people, including the Black Demonic Spirit and the Red Demonic Spirit, waiting for them outside the city gate.
On the day Qiandu Xiang was killed, Baili He managed to escape by luck. He never imagined that the possessed youngster could stabilize his own Magic Power using Silver Needles to seal his acupuncture points. Likely, Qiandu Xiang didn’t anticipate this either.
Otherwise, with the youngster possessed and running amok, the resulting chaos would have been unpredictable. What a pity that he also killed Qiandu Xiang and the local snake snatched away the Sacred Spirit Stone.
Everyone from the Sacred Spirit Sect probably thought he had fled from Sacred Spirit Island with his n. But he had not; he wanted to obtain the Moon Beast. Baili He, known as the Beast King, achieved an unparalleled level of study in mutant beasts. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare call himself the Beast King. Qiandu Xiang’s fusion with the Moon Beast was upon his suggestion, and without his assistance, how could Qiandu Xiang have rged with the Moon Beast in about a month’s ti?
Although it ended in failure, everyone knew that it was very close to success. It was just that no plan can thwart the unexpected, and he was only a little short.
While everyone else went searching for the Sacred Spirit Stone, Baili He couldn’t care less. He coveted the Moon Beast, having seen its power. If he truly could obtain the Moon Beast and had enough ti, he was certain he could study it more thoroughly.
Qiandu Xiang had managed to fuse with the Moon Beast, so he too could rge with the Moon Beast. Given enough ti, his fusion with the Moon Beast could surely beco even more harmonious, undoubtedly more powerful than Qiandu Xiang’s fusion.
With so many people searching for the Sacred Spirit Stone, a massacre was certain. He had no desire to partake in a scramble with almost zero chance of success. He believed that the Sacred Spirit Sect could hardly notice soone else also targeting the Moon Beast, thus his chances were significantly great.
The injured Moon Beast, trapped on Sacred Spirit Island, now struggled to escape, given the island was under the control of the Sacred Spirit Sect. He possessed over a hundred remnants left by Qiandu Xiang but was still no match for the Sacred Spirit Sect.
His plan was to help the Moon Beast escape from Sacred Spirit Island and then capture it at sea.
A person ca running from that direction, one of Baili He’s subordinates, who announced, “We’ve found it, they’re in the cave ahead.”
“There better not be any mistakes this ti,” barked a tall, skinny assistant beside Baili He. Last ti, they nearly exposed their presence on Sacred Spirit Island because of a Winged Dragon.
The ssenger replied, “There won’t be, everyone from the Sacred Spirit Sect has gone that way, it’s definitely the Moon Beast.”
“It better be, or you’ll have to answer to,” the assistant said.
After Qiandu Xiang’s death, if Baili He wanted to turn his fortunes around, he needed sothing to aid him, and the Moon Beast was ideal. He asked, “Are the gunpowder and the boats ready?”
The assistant replied, “Everything’s been prepared.”
Baili He was getting impatient, having waited many days, but finally, they had located the Moon Beast. Now the task was to help it escape. As long as Nangong Yao and Shao Hengjiang weren’t around, it would be easy to manage. He reckoned the Sacred Spirit Sect wouldn’t expect soone to plot against the Moon Beast.
The reporting youth said, “However, I just saw that kid who participated in the great battle last ti.”
Baili He stopped and asked, “Are you referring to the kid who nearly succumbed to demonic possession last ti?”
“Yes, that’s him.”
The assistant remarked, “He didn’t participate last ti.”
“Right, I don’t know how, but I saw him.”
The assistant grew a bit more anxious, saying, “That kid is skilled in martial arts; we need to be careful.”
Baili He was determined to succeed, no matter whether the kid was participating or not. He was intent on rescuing the Moon Beast, muttering, “It doesn’t matter, we are just rescuing the Moon Beast, not fighting a life-and-death battle with them. Even if he does participate, he may not be able to stop . I’m not afraid of him.”
As long as he had enough gunpowder.
The assistant still worried, originally thinking that if only they could break their formation, then they could rescue the Moon Beast. But with the kid wielding the Wolf King’s Ring and his high martial arts skill, they could probably subdue the Moon Beast without needing any formation.
“We’ll need soone to deal with the kid when the ti cos.”
Baili He knew full well he was no match for the kid, an awareness he was clear about. However, he also knew that the kid, having once nearly succumbed to demonic possession, would definitely not dare to use the power of the ring recklessly.
“Can the injured Moon Beast escape from his hands?” the assistant asked skeptically.
Baili He replied, “Without my help, it certainly can’t. But they will never expect soone is actually planning to help the Moon Beast escape.”
Upon hearing this, the assistant said, “Exactly, they never accounted for this possibility.”
“When the ti cos, you help create an opening, and I will make the injured Moon Beast suddenly beco fierce. They will definitely be caught off guard,” Baili He declared.
The assistant felt a renewed confidence after hearing this.
“Don’t worry, everything is under our control.”
Baili He fondled a white bottle in his bosom, a sneer on his face as if the bottle gave him more confidence. He shouted, “Hey, what are you dawdling for? Get ready, I don’t want to rescue the Moon Beast only to fall behind, then have to search for it everywhere.
You all know, last ti it took several hundred people to control the Moon Beast, there was Qiandu Xiang with his unparalleled martial arts. Without him, it would have been impossible to capture the Moon Beast. The Moon Beast hasn’t fully recovered yet, but who guarantees when it will? Our hundred n may not be enough to capture him.”
The subsequent assistants nodded repeatedly.
“Whether we can turn the tables depends on this,” murmured Baili He, having spent much effort on this plan. He first made the Sacred Spirit Sect think they had escaped Sacred Spirit Island, then secretly hid in the mountains, readying two boats—all without the Sect’s knowledge. It was like walking a tightrope.
It was a desperate gamble, yet they had truly fooled Ouyang Yue, but he couldn’t be careless. Having killed Qiandu Xiang and resolved her vengeance, Ouyang Yue, if capturing him, would not let him off rcifully, considering the misdeeds he committed while with Qiandu Xiang.
“Co on, stop standing around. Get moving, we’ve still got a lot to do,” Baili He dispatched his subordinates to prepare, leaving only the assistant behind. The assistant held a newly acquired map, which marked the Moon Beast’s location.
Because he heard that the kid would also participate, Baili He had to be cautious. He didn’t want to fail in rescuing the Moon Beast and lose himself as well, which is precisely what had happened to Qiandu Xiang, due to overconfidence.
“Boss, is there anything you’re still worried about?”
“Not really, I just don’t know how well the kid has recovered.”
“Didn’t you say he absolutely wouldn’t dare to use the Wolf King’s magic power carelessly?”
“Of course, unless the kid is a madman.”
