Chapter 996: 319: One City, One Formation, One Catastrophe (Part 2)

"Moreover, Su Yue is doomed!"Cang Ji held a chess piece, hesitating where to place it.

A gust of wind blew, and the piece at his fingertips turned into a gust of wind.

"Divine Elder, your wisdom is unparalleled."

The Camp General quickly said.

"Unparalleled my ass, your Divine Elder is just boasting, can’t you tell?

"Not worth the fuss? That means he doesn’t have the ability to assassinate, I also think Yuan Longhan doesn’t need to make a fuss about killing!"

Mo Kai sneered.

"Mo Kai, you don’t need to mock me with words. In a while, Su Yue will be dead, and then you’ll know how ignorant you are!"

Cang Ji smiled coldly.

Assassinating Su Yue was not only a matter of Jing Niao City’s inadequate strength but also a promise made to Xu Baiyan.

Cang Ji never lies.

Since he promised Xu Baiyan, he would not kill Su Yue and Su Qingfeng.

But if Xu Baiyan herself ignites the Extreme Dao Spiritual Cannon, then it has nothing to do with him.

A promise must be kept, especially those made to one’s daughter.

The Camp General kneeled on the ground without saying a word.

Although he hated Mo Kai in his heart, he dared not show it. This devil feared nothing and would humiliate an eighth-rank at any moment; as a seventh-rank, he might lose his life.

"You can leave now."

Cang Ji waved dismissively.

"Cang Ji, what use do you have for capturing that orphan of the Thunder Race? She grew up in the Divine Land; can she truly be loyal to you?

"Let me warn you, if you try to mess with the Thunder Race, be careful or you’ll gain nothing."

Mo Kai ridiculed.

"That’s none of your concern.

"If I were you, I’d leave Jing Niao City immediately, lest I kill you!"

Cang Ji stared at Mo Kai as if looking at a corpse.

As for Xu Baiyan.

Does her loyalty even matter?

Her mission in Jing Niao City was merely to use her Thunder Race identity to charge the spiritual cannon; it had nothing to do with the targeting array.

And once he destroys a city, everyone will know it was Xu Baiyan’s handiwork.

At that point, no matter how loyal she is to Divine Land, what good will it be?

Not a single person would agree to let Xu Baiyan return to the Divine Land.

From the moment Xu Baiyan left the Divine Land, her fate was already held in Cang Ji’s hands.

"Mo Kai, I heard you have a particularly talented disciple. Why don’t you bring them out and let me see?"

Suddenly, Cang Ji shifted his tone and asked sarcastically.

He knew Mo Kai lingered in Jing Niao City, waiting for this so-called disciple.

Perhaps, Hong Guo really had come to Jing Niao City before; however, the management wasn’t as strict back then, so Cang Ji didn’t know if Hong Guo had actually been there.

"Rest assured, once my disciple returns, you’ll understand what true genius is."

Mo Kai placed a chess piece, delivering a fatal blow to Cang Ji.

He then could not be bothered with Cang Ji and floated silently into the void.

"Disciple, hurry back. If Cang Ji breaks through, your master will have to leave Jing Niao City."

Though Mo Kai appeared calm, inside he was anxious.

He could sense that Cang Ji was not far from a breakthrough.

"Mo Kai, if your disciple turns out to be a fool, I wouldn’t even know how to mock you."

Cang Ji’s voice echoed in the long sky.

In the basement of Jing Niao City.

Xu Baiyan’s body was flickering with thunderous light; the skin on the left side of her face had evaporated substantially, appearing like shocking crimson scars.

But they were not scars; rather, it was skin devoid of color.

This was the true state of the Thunder Race.

The more Xu Baiyan used the Thunder Race’s power, the more crimson patterns appeared on her skin.

Scars could fade, but these blood marks would remain for life.

"Yuan Xingzi, if you fail, I’ll be a sinner through the ages."

Xu Baiyan mumbled to herself.

Though she appeared expressionless, her heart was filled with unease.

Within her body was some spiritual blood left by Yuan Xingzi; when Xu Baiyan charged the spiritual cannon shells, this blood would also merge into them.

And Yuan Xingzi would need this spiritual blood to alter the position of the targeting array.

But Xu Baiyan truly wasn’t reassured.

Yet at this point, her worries were pointless.

Not far off lay the precious elixirs collected by Cang Ji.

The quantity and quality were so high that even Xu Baiyan was startled, with some being elixirs from the Divine Land. The more diverse the elixir types, the less impactful the resistance builds.

The process of Xu Baiyan charging the spiritual cannon shells with thunder Qi Blood was also a cultivation process.

Her current Qi Blood value had surpassed 2300 kcal.

A remarkable speed.

"I wonder how Su Yue is doing now, or if Yang Lezhi has forgotten about me!

"After attending the princess’s ceremony, the entire Divine Land must despise me!

"Perhaps Yang Lezhi already wants to kill me personally.

"Never mind, I am no longer a Martial Artist of Divine Land, why bother thinking so much!"

Xu Baiyan chuckled bitterly.

She avoided all news from the Divine Land and rejected anything coming from it.

Xu Baiyan simply didn’t dare to get involved.

...

Baiheng City.

A sprawling city adjacent to the Eight Races Sacred Land.

The wetland eight races constantly war but privately engage in necessary trade.

Thus, amidst the many guardian cities close to the Sacred Land, sprang up this city immune to war.

In theory, Baiheng City belongs to the Yangxiang Race.

The Yangxiang Race is cunning and forward-thinking; a long time ago, it was they who advocated the establishment of an unwarlike city.
