Chapter 154: Chapter 112: Ninth Lord’s Arrangement [Additional Chapter for the Lord of Qing Flute Island and the Alliance Hierarch]

Xue Fuxiao almost fainted from exasperation.

How dare he say I’m brainless, seems like A Jiu has gotten too full of himself.

"So what do we do now?"

"If time goes on, that piece of ancient jade will inevitably be discovered, or even absorbed... And as long as it’s absorbed, it doesn’t matter who absorbs it. Even if a minion from the Wei Wo Zheng Sect absorbs it, it’s fine. Just preventing it from going back to that Great Demon’s hands, to aid his recovery, is the best outcome."

"It would be even better if one of our people got it."

Dongfang Sansan was in high spirits.

This time, in Dongfang Sansan’s calculations, it was a beautiful win.

What you are desperate to get, I may not necessarily need to get; as long as I ensure you don’t get it, that’s my victory.

When you calculate it like this, there’s really no issue.

"Who from the Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s Main Sect came this time? Did you face off against Duan Xiyang?" Dongfang Sansan asked.

"No. The others just stood off, no one made a move; while Duan Xiyang didn’t even show up, releasing spear intent from afar over two mountain peaks to assert his presence, acting like the number one expert in the world." Xue Fuxiao was very frustrated.

I’ve always done this myself.

Now Duan Xiyang has stolen this prestige.

"Hahaha..."

Dongfang Sansan squinted and laughed, "Why did I let you lose to him last time? Just to transfer the pressure of being number one in the world over to him. Now you see? Duan Xiyang is a bit concerned with maintaining his reputation, so he doesn’t easily make a move, which means our losses become much smaller."

"Is that part of your plan too?"

Xue Fuxiao was speechless, after thinking about it, it indeed made sense, saying, "You’re really impressive with your manipulations, brother, I must admit."

"Otherwise?"

Dongfang Sansan said, "If you had even a little bit of brains, would I need to worry and tire myself like this?"

Xue Fuxiao didn’t want to speak anymore.

He found that recently, every time he talked with Dongfang Sansan, it was a bit hurtful.

And he didn’t know what illness this fellow had caught.

"But with Dong Changfeng of the Jinshe Spear acting this time and facing off against Bei Mingxin, I’m afraid a century’s worth of time will be wasted. No matter what, you need to find some time to visit him."

Dongfang Sansan sighed, "Help him recover."

Xue Fuxiao sighed, "Alright."

The injury from the White Bone Shattering Dream Spear’s spear intent, Dong Changfeng must recover by himself because he practices with the spear, which is actually quite similar to the gun.

Even the spear intent is almost the same.

If Dong Changfeng can resolve and absorb Duan Xiyang’s spear intent by himself, Dong Changfeng will undoubtedly progress further.

His cultivation will advance to another level.

This step would be enough for him to leap from thirty-sixth place to the top twenty!

That’s a qualitative leap.

But if Xue Fuxiao helps to heal the wound with the sword intent of the Emotion Cutting Saber to counterbalance Duan Xiyang’s spear intent, then Dong Changfeng will gain nothing.

His cultivation might even regress, and his confidence in martial arts could be damaged.

Because a century of hard practice would have been in vain.

But as it stands, he hasn’t managed to neutralize Duan Xiyang’s spear intent.

Both Dongfang Sansan and Xue Fuxiao understood: If Dong Changfeng had really resolved and understood the spear intent, then Bei Mingxin would surely be dead this time!

Even the four bodyguards wouldn’t have survived.

But as it stands... Bei Mingxin is only severely injured.

This proves Dong Changfeng hasn’t even recovered his true strength. Let alone resolved Duan Xiyang’s spear intent.

"There’s no time to waste, I’ll go now."

Xue Fuxiao stood up, saying, "Dong Changfeng is probably experiencing a flare-up of his old wounds, better not let the Wei Wo Zheng Sect people take advantage."

"Watch your mouth!"

Dongfang Sansan glared at him.

Needless to say, when one’s cultivation reaches a certain level, and can sense nature’s spiritual energy and the Great Dao, they generally become very mindful of their words.

Because they’ve realized, at that level, you can’t speak carelessly.

If your words somehow come true, you’d really be frustrated to death.

For example, the most tactless mouth among the Guardians’ higher-ups, Ningxue Sword, once went to see a genius trial incognito, and the person in charge of the trial ignored him and looked extremely displeased.

So Ningxue Sword said casually: "Why do you look so displeased? Maybe your wife is cheating on you at home?"

And then he left.

As it turned out, when this guy got home, he caught his wife in bed with the adulterer...

There’s something really eerie about some things.

"No rush, in a few days there will be other things, you can handle Dong Changfeng’s matter along with them. For now, everything’s stable like a mountain over at Baiyun State, no need to specifically help Dong Changfeng, give him a bit more time, and he might comprehend something."

"Very well, then I’ll go train with the sword."

Xue Fuxiao’s body flickered, turning into a streak of sword light.

Dongfang Sansan, on the other hand, took hold of the intelligence reports from Baiyun State and began calculating with a frown. Although the dust had settled, and Baiyun State had won a great victory, Dongfang Sansan still had to review everything.

When the overall battle outcome hasn’t been determined yet, the victory or defeat of a single city or area doesn’t mean much, and especially in such places, there would always be follow-ups.

Then Dongfang Sansan suddenly made a surprised ’hmm’ sound.

He seemed to have discovered something.

Then he said, "Compile the intelligence from the past few months from all directions and report them all up for a summary."

When the materials were brought over, Dongfang Sansan asked everyone to leave, leaving himself alone in the room facing a mountain of reports.

After compiling everything.

Dongfang Sansan looked at the pile from Baiyun State which was evidently thicker than the others, along with Moon Shadow’s intelligence he privately kept...

With a little comparison, his face turned solemn.

Even his eyes held a hint of doubtful joy.

"So it is indeed like this? The upheavals in this period, there have been many everywhere, but the place with the most significant events, the greatest achievements, and the most concentrated... turns out to be near Baiyun State."

"In just a short span, including the Su Family in Bibo City... already three Demon Sect families have been exposed, even if they’re just small families, but before this, when was there such smooth operations?"

"And this time, the Main Sect of Wei Wo Zheng Sect also made moves in Baiyun State."

"That Great Demon buried underground is also nearby, the Great Demon’s ancient jade is also in Baiyun State, and the Great Demon’s Soul Split also perished in Baiyun State?"

Dongfang Sansan took a deep breath, suddenly feeling his heart pounding.

As a strategic advisor to the Guardians, having witnessed countless changes in the mortal world over the years, the rise and fall of numerous dynasties, Dongfang Sansan now sensitively realized something.

Which is...

"Baiyun State has unwittingly become the center of the storm!"

"And before this, regardless, whether in terms of geographical position, population density, or strategic location, or even governance issues, economic issues... Baiyun State couldn’t even be ranked."

"Yet in this period, it’s become the vortex center."

"There must be some explanation within this."

Dongfang Sansan frowned, mumbling, "One possibility for such a situation is that Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s focus has shifted here; another possibility, is the emergence of a Child of Destiny."

"Wei Wo Zheng Sect has just established its nation, they’re in a dire situation and absolutely couldn’t shift their focus at this time. Their focus now can only be in Xin Chu Country, it must be in Xuanwu City!"

"So it’s not because of Wei Wo Zheng Sect!"

"Then that leaves only one possibility. Only the emergence of a Child of Destiny could gather the winds and clouds, enchanting fortune, generally for such people, wherever they are becomes the center of the whirlpool!"

"It’s like a jinx, causing trouble wherever they go."

Dongfang Sansan snorted, his eyes glinting brightly, "Then who would this Child of Destiny be?"

Just then.

Someone reported from outside: "Ninth lord, there’s a report with the Moon Seal mark delivered!"

Dongfang Sansan immediately waved his hand, collecting everything, "Send it in."

The Moon Seal mark.

It’s a peculiar mark, never appeared before, never been used.

But Dongfang Sansan had clearly ordered: As long as there is this order, no matter what I’m doing, it must be delivered to me immediately!

Moreover, no one is allowed to see it before me!

This order, including Xue Fuxiao!

So people outside dared not delay.

Whenever the mark was seen, it was immediately sent to Dongfang Sansan.

Couldn’t afford any slack.

Previously, Dongfang Sansan had inadvertently mentioned this matter to a few people around him.

After saying it, there was no movement from the Wei Wo Zheng Sect side for a long time, then Dongfang Sansan was relieved and began to formally use the Moon Seal.

One could say his caution and carefulness had reached the extreme.

The intelligence was brought and placed on the table.

Dongfang Sansan slowly unwrapped it, then smeared it with a secret technique, and according to the secret arrangement of words, extracted the text from within.

At a glance, he immediately furrowed his brows.

"The first elder of Yixin Sect, Mu Lin Yuan, is currently hiding at Fang Che’s place?"

Dongfang Sansan immediately grew serious.

Hurriedly finished reading.

Then frowned in thought.

Then unfolded it and read it again.

In an instant, dozens of thoughts had already flashed through his mind.

He promptly replied, "No response to be made!"

Then immediately sent it out.

Then felt relieved.

"Let’s hope that no arrest has already been made before my order reaches... that would be disastrous!"

He thought for a moment, then immediately used spiritual communication to contact the Southeast Headquarters.

"Go to Baiyun Martial Academy and do this and that."

Over there was Dongfang Sansan’s trusted confidant.

Also the person handling the Moon Shadow Fang Che matter, upon receiving the message, immediately understood.

So they immediately set off for Baiyun Martial Academy.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Sansan, after dealing with this matter, continued pondering the disappearance of Sun Wutian’s Divine Ancient Jade.

But his train of thought was repeatedly interrupted several times, and at the moment that flash of inspiration simply wouldn’t come back.

Helplessly, he sighed and temporarily gave it up.

Wrinkling his brow in thought.

Should I take a walk through Baiyun State?

He pondered for a while and ultimately decided against it, for now, with the Wei Wo Zheng Sect just setting up a nation, he was burdened with endless matters and truly couldn’t leave.

Yet he still wasn’t at ease, Fang Che’s methods were a bit too rough indeed.

So he sent another message to the person he had just communicated with at the Southeast Headquarters: "First come to the headquarters and see me! Then head to the Baiyun Martial Academy from here!"
