Chapter 226 - Intuition


As the sun broke through the sky and cast its rays into the room, waking up the woman sleeping on the bed, a strange feeling of unrest appeared in Bai Rouyun's heart.


The uneasy feeling was one she had not felt for a long time, but she knew it very well. During the time she had been chased by the many sects and hidden families, she had gained a premonition-like instinct, which told her that danger was on the way.


When she felt like this, then it meant that what was about to happen could easily cost her her life, or something worse.


She was capable of distinguishing between the average danger, and the strange oppressive and stifling feeling that she felt currently, and her eyes turned sharp.


Her first thought was not herself but Li Moyun. Was it perhaps connected to him? Had he encountered any dangers?


However, instead of panicking, she slowly rose from lying down to sitting up, and began to think through her previous lifestyle after the departure of her husband.


"He should have already left this continent, so I doubt that he will encounter much danger right now. At least it should not be to a point where he can not handle it, at least not with Xiao Long as a death-exemption token."


Her eyes turned darker as she continued to think, and in the end, she reached the conclusion that someone was aiming for her life. It was reasonable that many would use this chance to get rid of her, as Li Moyun had gone missing, but she had not expected them to move this swiftly.


She knew of Mo Chu's strength, and unbeknown to the outside world, Li Moyun had left other top cultivators from the Eternal Shadow Palace by her side.


Unlike when she had to flee for her life due to her facing the combined cultivation world alone, she was now covered by a renowned faction that others had to consider twice if they wished to fight against.


If they succeeded, they would benefit significantly from the resources and riches of the Eternal Shadow Palace, which would be split among the involved parties, but if they failed, their doom was also possible to guess.


Even if Li Moyun was not present, these experts did not dare to face off against the entirety of the Eternal Shadow Palace, unless the Shitian Tower was at their backs. Still, knowing the relationship between the young master of the Shitian Tower and the Eternal Shadow Lord, everyone assumed that he would back Bai Rouyun.


Furrowing her brows, Bai Rouyun felt as if she had missed something. She could not help but assume that the ones who wished to attack her were likely among the ones who had disliked her for a long time, and now finally found the courage to vent their frustrations.


However, during the time she had been in her new body, she had not insulted many people; those who would hate her should only be the Bai family from the Richu Empire, the royal family of the same place, and a few people who wished to kill her for the sake of getting revenge on Li Moyun.


She could not help but wonder how to deal with the situation. As long as she was within the mansion, she should be safe, but anywhere outside was likely to turn into a battlefield.


Bai Rouyun could not help but sigh as she shook her head. It was not easy to prepare for unknown dangers, but she would feel better if she had some sort of preparation than just to let things happen with no prior plans.


"Mo Chu."


Bai Rouyun had opened the door and called for Mo Chu. From the fact that she had called his full name, he instantly understood that something serious was about to happen.


"What's wrong?"


"I am not sure, but my instincts are telling me that we will encounter some danger today. I am not sure of what exactly will happen, but my instincts have never been wrong. I expect it to be quite severe, so we have to prepare for any unexpected situation beforehand."


She did not hide the fact that it was her instincts that told her that danger would be coming, but Mo Chu did not belittle her, even if she had no concrete evidence to prove her claim.


His face turned solemn as he began to go through their schedule for the day.


"Qin Huiling and Dongfang Yu are on their way here. We are going to head to the academy for a lecture, after which the plan was to go to the Thousand Treasure Pavilion. Do you wish to change our plans?"


Bai Rouyun shook her head. "Although I know that we will encounter danger, we can not simply hide away from it. We need to face the threat and, if possible, fish in troubled waters to see if we can lure the ones behind out into the open.


"I am going to use myself as bait, so you should get the experts from the Eternal Shadow Palace ready to encircle the city and find the culprits."


Mo Chu was not very willing to watch Bai Rouyun use herself as bait, but he could see the stubborn light in her eyes, and knew that she was not willing to let go.


One reason was that she did not like to leave unknown dangers lurking in the dark. However, another was to show that although her personal strength was weak, she still managed to command the hegemon that was the Eternal Shadow Palace, and that Li Moyun had given her full authority to move this faction as she pleased.


This was a way to use the dangerous situation to scare the observers. However, such a move was risky, and if it went wrong, she would likely leave her life behind.
