Lady Su’s Revenge

“Senior Tianxing, you are in a hurry to gather the grand elders of 27 sects. Has anything happened?”

Hua Yan rushed here. Bai Su didn’t reply but asked, “Where are they?”

Hua Yan bowed, “They are all in the hall.”

“Time is tight, so I’ll explain it together.”

Bai Su rubbed his eyebrows and walked into the hall quickly. Then he saw the grand elders of 27 sects, and many of them were his familiar old friends.

Although Xiang Hua’s cultivation was not the strongest among the grand elders, he could be said to have saved the lives of the other 26 people. Hence, he sat in the first seat on the left of the head, while the seat opposite him was empty.

“Two empty seats. Could it be that Grand Elder Su has returned?”

Xiang Hua couldn’t help but think. At this time, footsteps were heard outside the hall. Everyone followed the sound and saw a young man and Lord Hua Yan come together.

Seeing the young man’s face, Xiang Hua’s memories from his youth were quickly activated. He couldn’t help but stand up and exclaimed, “Are you… Senior Bai of Tianxing Valley?”

“Senior Bai, I can’t believe you’re still alive!”

Another person stood up and looked excited. It was obvious that more than one person knew Bai Su. Although the other people hadn’t seen Bai Su, they suddenly realized it one after another because Xiang Hua’s words were suggestive enough.

The young man in front of them was the most mysterious old ancestor of the Tianyake Attic.

Sure enough, the Ni Sect was powerful for a reason. Even they could see the hidden existence like Old Ancestor Tianxing.

Bai Su’s gaze was still anxious, but he said in a steady tone, “I have called you guys here for an urgent matter. Without special circumstances, Bai Mo has made a move.”

“What?”

Everyone’s face changed. Xiang Hua was startled, “I’ve been paying close attention to the movements of the Fate Palace. They have no obvious transfer of people.”

“If even you could find it out, Bai Mo would have been dead 10,000 years ago.”

Bai Su said in a low and deep voice, “He never likes to do things himself and often uses underhanded tactics. When we find it out, everything will be too late. I collected information recently and finally found something strange…”

Then Bai Su shared the information and stated his suspicions.

The hall quieted down, leaving only the slightly heavy breathing from the junior emperors.

Old Ancestor Feng Xi sighed, “More or less, we have been persecuted by the poisonous insects and should be mentally prepared for Bai Mo’s tactics. Senior Bai, if you have any solutions, just give us orders. We will do as we are told.”

“You guys seem to have guessed it.”

Bai Su looked around the crowd, “If Bai Mo wants to continue to rely on the natural law to destroy us, he’ll have to need a trigger. The martial arts practitioners’ indiscriminate killing of mortals is an excellent reason. Although I don’t know what he can do to shift the blame onto us, we have to guard against it.”

“What shall we do?”

Old Ancestor Feng Xi couldn’t help but ask. This was a matter of natural law. They really didn’t have any experience with it.

“The ancestor once said that the natural law might just be a tool and must have enough reasons if it wanted to do punishment. Since Bai Mo wants to give a reason, we will solve it from the source.”

Bai Su waved his sleeve and threw out 28 jade slips. They fell into everyone’s hands automatically, “The secret skills are named Record of Natural Law. After using the secret skills, all the actions of your sect will be on the natural law’s watch. It talks with the fact.”

At this point, Bai Su narrowed his eyes and gave a meaningful smile.

“If Bai Mo frames us rashly, he will pay the price for his carelessness.”

The grand elders stared at each other aghast and then agreed loudly.

In the following days, Bai Su received daily news about the slaughter of mortals. Mortals had too many cities, and the Fate Palace made the choice randomly, so he couldn’t stop it, even though he wanted to. He had to restrain himself and wait patiently.

Finally one day, a woman appeared suddenly at the gate of the Ni Sect.

Facing the gate covered in clouds and mist, she bent and called softly with her head down, “Su Zipei of the Zihan Sect requests to see the lord of Ni Sect.”

“Has Su Zipei returned at this time?”

Hearing the reporting, wariness flashed across Hua Yan’s beautiful eyes. She instructed gently, “Call Lord Zihan here.”

In a while, Lord Zihan in an administrator’s robe came to the hall. He looked calm and asked after saluting, “Your Lord, what can I do for you?”

“Do you know where Su Zipei went after she left the Zihan Sect?”

When Hua Yan finished speaking, Lord Zihan had mood swings on his calm face, “Is Su Zipei back?”

“She’s just outside the gate.”

Hua Yan didn’t intend to hide it and answered while observing his reaction. To her surprise, after hearing this, Lord Zihan’s first reaction was not happy, but more like fear.

What was he afraid of?

“It’s good that she’s back. It’s good that she’s back.”

Lord Zihan was unaware of his exposure and smiled, “I only know that she was later chosen by the grand elder of a holy sect. Human strives hard to move up. I can’t keep her. Later on, I knew that the holy sect she went to belonged to the Fate Palace. Now that she has come back alive, that would be the best.”

Hua Yan saw Lord Zihan’s strange reaction. After a moment’s contemplation, she transmitted the sound in silence to Bai Su.

A while later, Bai Su walked out of the inner hall.

At the sight of him, Lord Zihan looked frightened at once and let out a “ho-ho” sound. Lord Zihan’s head swelled in a few breaths and then exploded with a bang like a watermelon. Red and white things were scattered all over the floor.

Hua Yan waved her sleeve to block all the blood outside the shield and frowned for a moment. Then she instructed the servant to clean it and saw Bai Su was still deep in thought. She couldn’t help but ask.

“Senior Bai, what’s the matter?”

Bai Su frowned and shook his head, “It should be a spell. This man was under a spell long ago. After I arrived, it sensed the crisis of information exposure and destroyed itself.”

Hua Yan inhaled in horror involuntarily, “There is such a terrible spell in the world?! Is it Bai Mo’s tactic?”

“No, it’s another person.”

Bai Su put on a grave look and muttered, “I know her, but I have always ignored her existence.”

It was the Many-faced Witch.

They had not one but two enemies!

The Many-faced Witch’s spells were untraceable. Sometimes, she was even more terrifying than Bai Mo.

Bai Su didn’t think deeply for fear of falling into the Many-faced Witch’s trap. He looked up and said, “The delay is too long. Let Su Zipei come in. We can’t keep Bai Mo’s messenger waiting.”

Hua Yan nodded and gave orders.

Soon after, Su Zipei, who was dressed in the holy girl’s costume of the Zihan Sect, walked into the hall. When she only saw Hua Yan in the hall, she relaxed a little and stepped forward to salute.

“Disciple Su Zipei, greetings to Your Lord.”

Hearing this, Hua Yan chuckled, “Su Zipei, you are not a disciple of our sect, so why did you call yourself that?”

Su Zipei lifted her chin and said in a respectful tone, “I am originally the Holy Girl of the Zihan Sect. Since the Zihan Sect has been subsumed into the Ni Sect, I am naturally a member of the Ni Sect. At this critical moment of the great war, I should come back and do my part for the Ni Sect.”

“That’s a good speech.”

Hua Yan gently clapped her hands, “But what good does that do you? The environment of our Ni Sect is not as good as your Fate Palace’s. Why did you give up the Fate Palace and defect to your enemy?”

The smile froze on Su Zipei’s lips. Her secret defection to the Fate Palace was extremely secretive. Only the most core disciples knew that she had replaced Ling Xian and become the Holy Girl of the Fate Palace.

How did the Ni Sect know about it?

Was there a spy in the Fate Palace?

Or Hua Yan might be scamming her. After all, it was indeed suspicious for her to come at this moment.

In this instant, Su Zipei considered a lot. But at the thought of the Fate Ancestor’s affirmative tone, she suppressed her panic quickly and continued.

“My defection to the Fate Palace is a rumor. In fact, I have been secretly investigating the actual situation of the Fate Palace all these years, just for this moment. If I can submit a letter of defection, can I be allowed to rejoin the Ni Sect?”

Hua Yan blinked her eyes and thought that Senior Bai had a wonderful foresight. As expected, Su Zipei wanted to do everything possible to get in touch with the Ni Sect. In this way, the sin of slaughtering mortals would be able to link with the Ni Sect. Then a lightning strike would drop as punishment.

In this process, Bai Mo would just lose an indifferent pawn. It was a wishful thinking. Judging from Su Zipei’s face, she was most likely in the dark. What a hateful and pathetic woman!

A trace of pity swept in Hua Yan’s eyes, but she subsided it soon and nodded according to Bai Su’s earlier instruction, “I promise you. As long as you give a valuable enough answer, I can let you back.”

Su Zipei heard what she wanted most and relaxed a lot.

Her master said that it was a success as long as with this sentence, no matter whether or not the Ni Sect fulfilled their promise! She would be the biggest contributor and get the position of the next Great Lord.

After a deep breath, Su Zipei started from the simplest and made enough time for her master from now on.

“In fact, among the holy sects that belong to the Fate Palace, the lord of the Shengtian Shrine owns the lowest status. I don’t know why, but the lord of the Shengtian Shrine can only be overbearing in the outside world. When in front of the Fate Ancestor, he is like a dog…”

Before Su Zipei finished speaking, Hua Yan waved her hand and interrupted her forcibly, “What you’re saying is gossip at best. It does not good for the Ni Sect. I’ll give you another chance to say. Otherwise, you can leave now.”

Su Zipei tensed up and felt suffocated at once.

Hua Yan looked easy-going. However, once she turned hostile, Su Zipei felt no less oppressive than in front of the Fate Ancestor.

All this was attributed to the secret method performed by Bai Su in the dark. He tried his best to pry useful information from Su Zipei’s mouth.

Since Su Zipei wanted to show her sincerity, Bai Mo couldn’t do anything on her.

This was the breakthrough, but the information Su Zipei revealed might be false information released by Bai Mo. It needed to be carefully identified.

At this point, Su Zipei finally adjusted her mindset and started again, “The purpose of the Fate Ancestor has nothing to do with dominating the Qingshui Circle. He seems to have been born with a choke point and unable to break through to the Great Emperor Realm, so he thought of another way. That was, he intended to use all the talents’ life souls to recast his foundation!”

This was what she overheard, but now she had no strength to mind that. As long as she could suppress Hua Yan, these people would die soon. By then who would know she leaked the secret?

As expected, Hua Yan was stunned by this news. Somehow, the natural law worked on its own, and the sky faintly resounded with thunder.

However, the thunder came quickly and disappeared faster. Before the ordinary disciples of the Ni Sect could react, the sky cleared again.

In the white palace, the smile froze on Bai Ming’s lips.
