Chapter 563: Chapter 511: Borrowing a Knife to Kill, The Pressure on Bai Xiaosheng

For the failure of these powerhouses from the Sky Wasteland domain of the Demonic Way, they don’t have many options. Almost their only way to survive would be to assassinate Xue Wuheng and complete their mission before the powerhouses from Sky Wasteland come to question and accuse them; that would enable them to make up for their previous mistakes.

That’s why they bewitched Yang Yongxiu to try to assassinate Xue Wuheng but failed, also incurring significant losses.

“If it were merely Yang Yongxiu causing chaos, Bai Xiaosheng and the others would naturally dismiss it. However, the other party has colluded with the people from Sky Wasteland, they have undoubtedly violated the taboo of Pei Xuanjing and the others, Bai Xiaosheng would definitely not tolerate it.” Xue Wuheng confidently said.

He has heard a bit about the events on Dragon Tiger Mountain and has a clear understanding of Bai Xiaosheng and the others’ attitudes towards those who have returned from Sky Wasteland.

If those people behave well, they wouldn’t bother. But since these people want to disrupt the current situation, Bai Xiaosheng will absolutely not tolerate it. That’s also why Xue Wuheng confidently made his move.

Now, colluding with Yang Yongxiu to plot against him is no doubt disrupting the world’s order, Bai Xiaosheng is bound to take action.

“Your subordinate obeys.” The Blood Slaughter Sovereign accepted the command and left.

…

Tiandu, Imperial Astronomical Observatory in the Imperial City.

Upon receiving the request sent by his subordinate from the Demonic Cult, Bai Xiaosheng’s expression was indifferent, his face calm, and he showed no emotion.

After a long while, he revealed a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, saying, “That Xue Wuheng is crafty. He himself can’t catch the culprits, but he managed to shift the responsibility to me, trying to drag us into the water.”

Sitting in this Imperial Astronomical Observatory, although he never leaves, he practically has a full understanding of all affairs in the world. As for the incidents within the Demonic Cult, Bai Xiaosheng is undoubtedly crystal clear.

Therefore, the instant he got this news, he instantly understood Xue Wuheng’s intentions – Xue Wuheng wanted to use others to do his dirty work.

“However, they do know how to seize an opportunity. At least, we don’t have a reason to refuse.” Daoist Xuanming said with a smile.

He initially came into the Observatory to discuss some things with Bai Xiaosheng. He did not expect to run into news of Xue Wuheng asking for help.

Daoist Xuanming harbored no resistance towards Xue Wuheng’s request for their intervention to apprehend Yang Yongxiui and track down the guilty parties, but instead was quite pleased.

At the time of the Great Morning Meeting, even though the person who killed the Blood Demon, Yang Tinghe, was Pei Xuanjing, what Pei Xuanjing represented at the time was not only himself, but the entire Taoist School, the will of their entire Taoist Alliance.

It can be said that, if Yang Yongxiu truly seeks revenge, the people he would seek revenge from when he gained power would not only be Pei Xuanjing, but also all the individuals involved at the time.

Yang Yongxiu’s sudden rise during this period has stirred up many waves of unrest. Although Pei Xuanjing is indifferent and considers Yang Yongxiu as insignificant as an ant, the other powerhouses from the Taoist School would rather not see Yang Yongxiu continue to exist.

Now, Xue Wuheng’s active moves have undoubtedly given them a good excuse. They don’t need to act on their own, but just help a little, and then they can get rid of the party involved.

“If it was just one person, I might also do like Brother Pei and let him live and die as he pleases without interfering.” Bai Xiaosheng leisurely spoke, a cold light flashing in his eyes, “But what he absolutely should not have done is collude with the forces of Sky Wasteland, stir up storms and attempt to disrupt the current world order.”

Just like Pei Xuanjing, Bai Xiaosheng initially didn’t care about Yang Yongxiu’s existence. As long as the latter didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t mind at all.

However, as Xue Wuheng conjectured, the most important thing for Bai Xiaosheng right now is stability. He hopes that the entire world remains stable as it is now, small-scale friction is acceptable, but no large-scale chaos can be allowed.

Yet, Yang Yongxiu has unexpectedly allied himself with the powerhouses of the Sky Wasteland Demonic Way to assassinate Xue Wuheng, which could cause the recently unified Demonic Cult to fall apart again and descend into chaos. This is something Bai Xiaosheng cannot tolerate.

“Now that the Demonic Cult has just unified, only Xue Wuheng could suppress those ambitious fellows. If Xue Wuheng dies, I’m afraid the entire Demonic Cult would crumble, and even a few states may fall into chaos.” Daoist Xuanming lamented.

Although the people of the Demonic Cult have been low-key for several centuries, for these powerhouses, no one has ever dared to take them lightly. After all, while they may not be able to accomplish much, if they are set on creating havoc, that can be a headache.

The most important thing at the moment is to seize time and improve one’s own strengths to handle the situation after the forces of Sky Wasteland return.

Even now, if the strength of the Taoist School overpowered the Demonic Cult and they directly engaged, even a victorious outcome would be a pyrrhic victory. It would delay their time and slow down the speed of their growth, affecting the future. This is not something they want to see.

Therefore, the best situation is to let Xue Wuheng continue to lead the Demonic Cult and restrain these strong men of the Demonic Cult. Then, they can seize the time to enhance their strength, which is the best method.

“There isn’t much time left. According to the original prediction and observation of the people in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, even if the restoration speed of heaven and earth has already slowed down, in no more than thirty years, even if the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi does not reach its peak limit, at that time perhaps the powerhouses from the Nine Realms of Spirit may still not be able to fully exert their power, but it will be sufficient to allow them to return from the Sky Wasteland.” Bai Xiaosheng spoke gravely.

The supreme entities from the Nine Realms of Spirit – the extent of their power was something that they had never truly witnessed, most of the information had been obtained from those who had returned from Sky Wasteland.

Compared with the reality of such information, the discrepancy would be huge, possibly only one-tenth of what was described. However, even so, hearing such descriptions had given Bai Xiaosheng a considerable shock.

Not to mention others, just talking about himself, Bai Xiaosheng’s current lineage had completely diverged from those in Sky Wasteland, and he had personally killed a strong man of his lineage (or now of the Sky Mechanism Pavilion) who had returned from Sky Wasteland. The two sides had already completely fallen out. freewebnσvel.cøm

And it’s rumored that Sky Mechanism Pavilion’s lineage in Sky Wasteland is a top-tier force. The so-called Master Tianji is a supreme being from the Nine Realms of Spirit, which has put great pressure on Bai Xiaosheng.

Within the short timeframe of less than thirty years, he needs to improve his abilities to give himself a better assurance to face the upcoming catastrophe. If he fails, death is certain.

So, the current Bai Xiaosheng is under immense pressure, waiting for the people from Sky Mechanism Monastery to return from Sky Wasteland. Even if Master Tianji will not personally take action, the Sky Mechanism Moasnetry has accumulated countless powerhouses over the countless years. With his current strength, even if he were to face a powerhouse from the Spirit Realm Sixth Level, there would still not be a guarantee of victory.
