Baili Jingwei!

Shangguan Feixiongs eyes shook, howling curses like a mad beast consumed with hatred. As he looked from Danqing Shen and the three venerables to his clansmen, Shangguan Feixiongs energy left him, regarding Baili Jingwei and his hundreds of guards.

In the deadlock that he was with the enemy, having lost numerical advantage as well, he knew defeat was certain.

[The only option]

Shangguan Feixiongs eyes flashed and shouted as he led the charge with his broken body, Get the head! Capture Baili Jingwei and we may survive!

Roar!

The men grew spirited and followed their Clan Head into battle.

Rustle~

As the Shangguan clan got filled with valor and approached, Baili Jingwei remained utterly calm around his Genesis Stage expert guards. In fact, he didnt even register them.

Ha-ha-ha, get the head, is it? Not a bad idea. But can you do it?

Baili Jingwei smirked, fearless in front of their ruthless charge. He felt in complete control, merely shrugging as he said, Attack.

Yes, sir!

His guards went to meet the charge, leaving thirty behind.

The two forces howled at the top of their lungs, to hide their fear, to spur themselves on, all for survival or for orders.

In this barrier, the battlefield was split in three areas. Danqing Shen fighting Shangguan clans three venerables, the hundred experts of Shangguan clan against the pursuers behind and Shangguan Feixiong leading his men to catch Baili Jingwei through the latters guards. Though one recurring theme to all these locations was the h.e.l.lscape that was painted with every drop of blood and loss of life.

Shangguan clan found its force split in three, the worst situation one could have on the field of battle and a result of Baili Jingweis plan. The highest danger came when being flanked.

The only chance of survival lay with Shangguan Feixiong and if he could grab Baili Jingwei.

A pity that chance was nil. Ignoring the fact they were fighting more and better guards than them, even if they reached him, there were still thirty guards keeping him safe.

Regardless of how one looked, everything was pointless. But it was human nature to seek survival, to seek for a way out where there was none.

This led to Shangguan clans obsession

Pa!

Two guards presented from nowhere an imperial tutor chair and a square table carved from a pear tree before Baili Jingwei, along with tea.

Baili Jingwei quietly sat down, sipping his tea and watching the b.l.o.o.d.y act live, with the howls and wails reaching his unfiltered ears. None of which managed to even make him twitch.

[Shangguan clans strong are dealt with like this and their position in eastern lands is shaky. Eastern lands days are numbered. Only]

Baili Jingwei frowned, surveying the lively battlefield with unease.

[Wheres this feeling coming from? And why?]

[Everythings going like clockwork so why do I feel like Im missing something?]

Baili Jingwei frowned. His demeanor exuded calm, covering the inner turmoil he didnt know the cause of.

This had never happened before in his long career of schemes

Near the Jade Falls, ten Soul Harmony Stage guards were on their patrol. When the sounds of battle reached them, they rejoiced, fortunate to be stuck as night guards and able to keep their lives.

Sometimes, danger would come knocking instead.

Whoos.h.!.+

Something black landed in front of them, startling them into shouting, Whos there?

Its me.

Panting, Zhuo Fan revealed his frantic face in the moonlight.

The men reacted in shock, Grandmaster Gu? What are you doing here?

Therere not enough men so Im pa.s.sing Sword Kings order! Zhuo Fan took a deep breath and pointed in the direction of the battle, saying with scorn, Can you hear that? The thieves are much stronger than antic.i.p.ated and sir Sword King has ordered all of you to help. And

Zhuo Fans eyes darted around while urging them to go.

The men were skeptical, There are many other Genesis experts around so why come to us, Soul Harmony experts? What can we even do?

Thats why I came to you, to give you the lords secret order!

Zhuo Fan grew more nervous as he said, With the enemys great force, Sword King wants to limit the casualties and outsmart them. What are you afraid of?

Doubt still lingered in their eyes.

[The manor hasnt run out of men so why send a new alchemist to pa.s.s orders?]

But from Zhuo Fans frantic look and Radiant Stage cultivation, they could understand it and let their guard down. What else could this pipsqueak do than be an errand boy? What if they failed Sword Kings big plan?

[Lets at least wait after we heard the message.]

The ten men went over to Zhuo Fan.

Yes, now hurry up, we cant have anyone listening on lords secret order! Zhuo Fan called them over constantly, but his mouth curved into a devious smile.

As the ten guards reached him, waiting for the message, what they heard instead was a creepy tone, Sword Kings order is for all of you to die!

Whoosh~

In a flash of black, Zhuo Fan made a full circle around them. They watched in shock as their bodies twitched once and folded.

They fell backwards yet saw their legs still standing straight. Zhuo Fans black sword was gone before they could see it, walking away.

All that remained were pair of legs, frozen in time.

Now I can seal the World Wind Tunnel with none the wiser.

Looking at the wonder of waterfalls in front of him, Zhuo Fans eyes shone with success.

Clang!

A scarlet blade flashed again, coming to take Zhuo Fans life.

Zhuo Fan was amazed.

[For G.o.ds sake, that d.a.m.n Shangguan Feiyun knew Shangguan clan is after the Soaring Sword so why the h.e.l.l didnt he move it? Is he that bored, wanting someone to just take it?]

[Or is he that confident in Baili Jingweis plan that theres no point?]

Sighing, Zhuo Fan shook his head and his right eye flashed in seven golden halos.

The murderous sword suddenly shook in midair, halting in place. It even looked scared.

Grinning, Zhuo Fan said, Im not here for you, but itll be a pain if you mess things up midway. Id better get rid of you first, 6th grade sacred weapon, Soaring Sword!

Hum~

As his evil tone fell, the s.p.a.ce around him shook and warped in the swords direction.

The mighty pressure made the haughty sacred weapon give up its plan and flee back to its lair, behind the water.

[s.h.i.+t, how did it know that? Wasnt it some basic animal? How]

Soaring Swords core crumbled just then, having lost its scarlet edge and sharpness.

Even so, Zhuo Fan was not about to stop there. Who knew what that thing would be planning later?

Divine Eye of the Voids 7th stage, Void Seal!

Zhuo Fans right eye shone with seven golden halos. The s.p.a.ce slowly solidified as it put pressure around the Soaring Sword.

It was forced to be stuck in place once more, only able to shake all over and hum as if to plead.

Zhuo Fan showed no quarter, amping the pressure some more and placing it all on the Soaring Sword.

The sword stopped moving and fell to the ground lifeless.

A 6th grade sacred weapon, the divine sword of eastern lands, had its spirit sealed, loosing its power
