Chapter 888: Chapter 192 Prelude (4000, unfinished, will be revised later)_2
Perhaps... An Jing can accomplish many things. Things that neither I, my master, nor my grandmaster can do, even things that no one else can achieve.
Mou Yunying hopes that all of this could have a good ending.
It’s just a pity that, whether it turns out good or bad, he won’t be able to see it.
Lowering his head, he gazed at his water mirror, which displayed the time: the first half of midnight. Soon, a new day would arrive, and the grand ceremony was about to begin.
Steeling his mind, taking several deep breaths to keep himself in perfect condition, Mou Yunying prepared to head out.
He was going to do what he must... to struggle for an almost impossible good conclusion.
...
Moonlight filtered through the tree trunks and hanging branches, spilling into the garden on the back mountain of Rising Light Peak, where Universal Brightness True Lord was tending to the spirit flowers and strange herbs.
Once a young, hammer-wielding, human-shaped engine of destruction, in old age she grew fond of cultivating flowers and herbs. On the wrinkled face of Universal Brightness True Lord, one could faintly see the shadow of the vivacious beauty she once was.
With the power of Universal Brightness True Lord, she could remain forever young and forever a maiden, but due to certain reasons, she chose to let herself age naturally with the passing years, until everything ends.
Just at this moment, a figure quietly appeared in the garden on the back mountain of Rising Light Peak.
"Concealing Shadow, what brings you here so early?"
Universal Brightness True Lord didn’t turn her head, her hands still busy. Her "early" referred to just before the upcoming grand ceremony: "As you can see, we’re all busy, each with our own tasks to handle. If you want a casual chat, let’s talk after the ceremony."
"Will there really be a Bright Mirror Sect after the ceremony?"
Concealing Shadow True Lord’s rhetorical question made Universal Brightness True Lord stop tending to the flowers and herbs: "What do you mean by that?"
"I know."
The voice of Concealing Shadow True Lord was calm, almost indifferent: "I know you have connections with Da Chen, isn’t that right?"
Universal Brightness True Lord turned her head, the elderly woman who always wore a gentle smile now had eyes filled with coldness: "Concealing Shadow, what are you trying to say?"
Without denial, without rebuttal, Universal Brightness True Lord was very composed: "Speak clearly."
"Sister Qu Yan."
At this moment, Concealing Shadow, who revealed Universal Brightness True Lord’s original name, had his hands clasped behind his back, speaking softly: "Back then, Gu Fei and I both pursued you. I know, we were too childish in those days, foolishly competing without yielding."
"But in the end, we’ve all grown. Chenyin stopped drinking, and I also stopped causing trouble. It’s been like that for two thousand years."
Universal Brightness True Lord frowned, as it was impossible for her not to perceive the ulterior motive behind Concealing Shadow True Lord’s words: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Mou Yunying smiled again, raising his hand to point outside the Bright Mirror Sect’s mountain gate: "What I mean is, Qu Yan, whatever you are planning with Da Chen, you don’t need to show up for tomorrow’s ceremony."
"You should prepare to leave, leave Bright Mirror Sect, leave Dust Li, and if possible... leave the entire North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent."
"As long as you avoid Zhongheng Dao Continent, with your power and the strength of your disciples, it might be difficult to rise again to a Middle Gate status, but establishing a strong small sect in a place shouldn’t be an issue." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"As long as you don’t go to Zhongheng Dao Continent and avoid staying in the Northern Border of Embracing the Void, there would always be a chance to rebuild."
"What if we insist on staying?" Universal Brightness True Lord asked, frowning deeply.
"Then that would be unfortunate," Concealing Shadow True Lord replied: "If we all have to return together, I think it’s not entirely a bad thing."
"Qi Hezheng!"
Unable to restrain herself, Universal Brightness True Lord burst out with Concealing Shadow True Lord’s real name: "What exactly are you going to do?"
How could she not hear that Concealing Shadow’s intentions were clear—he was about to do something major! And the impact of this big move would be so significant that not only would the entire Bright Mirror Sect fall into jeopardy, but the entire northern part of the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent would also become an inhospitable deadland.
But... how could this be possible?
Taking a deep breath, Universal Brightness Elder sternly said: "Listen, Qi Hezheng, although I indeed have dealings with Da Chen, I have not gone mad—truthfully, it’s all about negotiating terms, to ensure that if Da Chen has the opportunity to suppress Dust Li, we can immediately step in to subdue Taiming Sect and other sects."
"In this situation, survival is almost impossible, and fighting against fate doesn’t work either. So, why not sell ourselves to the strongest ones directly then?"
"At that time, we could all survive, worst comes to worst, as Da Chen’s submissive people!"
"You’re right."
Unexpectedly, Concealing Shadow True Lord had no intention of criticizing and instead nodded: "You’re right, this is the right thing to do —If there’s a plan that can keep the sect safe, it’s not the time to care about the future and reputation."
"Honestly, Universal Brightness, your ideas are actually the safest. As long as it can pose a significant threat to both us and Taiming Sect, pledging allegiance to Da Chen is beneficial because, ultimately, Da Chen is the Heavenly Ancestor."
"However, what Fu Jing and I are doing is different."
"Fu Jing is involved too?" Universal Brightness True Lord was evidently shocked: "Is he also on your side? Just who exactly have you connected with? Shangxuan Sect? Huangyang Sect? Or have you... collaborated with the Heavenly Demon?"
Concealing Shadow did not say much, only shook his head: "In the end, there are only so many choices, Universal Brightness. I just came to persuade you one last time. At this point, I know many of us have no way of getting off the train, but I always believed I had no other choice."
"And you, Fu Jing, even Chenyin, you all deserve to live, all have brighter futures."
"Go, Qu Yan, go, don’t return. If you do not leave, there will be no ’after’ anymore."
With a sigh, Concealing Shadow disappeared.
Universal Brightness True Lord silently stared at the place where he vanished, then gritted her teeth and said: "This is how it is, this is how it is... you lunatic! Every time you encounter a setback, you start bristling like a hedgehog and then explode!"
"And moreover..."
She closed her eyes, recalling the words that Chenyinzi said earlier in the day, during the meeting at the main hall, while discussing with other True Lords about An Jing and the Taiming Sect conflict.
"Indeed... it has stimulated you too, hasn’t it?"
At the same time, at Shihui Peak, in the Pill Palace, Fu Jing True Lord was practicing alchemy.
Chuckling to himself, he added spiritual material to the pill furnace and said to a disciple on the other side: "Xiu De, your improvement lately is impressive... do you know how Yun Ying has been progressing recently?"
"Also quite well."
Xiu De, a stern and rigid-looking middle-aged man, was actually quite lively in nature. Upon hearing his master’s teasing, he even had the mind to joke: "Not only in cultivation, but also in relationships and life, he’s going smoothly. Unlike me and you, Master, we’re both single old bachelors."
"Haha, you rascal, it’s just that I don’t want to, while you can’t."
Fu Jing True Lord laughed heartily, but soon shifted his tone: "So, you didn’t let him leave?"
"Master, you’re joking."
Xiu De also smiled and said: "You must have figured it out long ago, Yun Ying has found out about our plan too."
"If he’s a wise person, he would have run away already."
He already found out about our plan.
This.
He probably doesn’t get it, but Luo Qinghui is pregnant, so letting him go is good. The Grandmaster needs to leave some seeds.
I’m just wondering what Old Gu meant.
Xiyi Eldest Senior is still in seclusion, or perhaps, already dead. Fifteen years ago, there were still elixirs sent over. Although they were sent later, I know those elixirs eventually went uneaten.
And now, with sudden concealment, what does that represent?
