Chapter 553: Chapter 439: Flipping the Table
"True Monarch, you must be joking."
"Hehe."
"Senior Yimiao, it’s me, it’s me; I’m Bai Yu from the Immortal Ascension Sect. Two hundred years ago, I visited the Daluo Taoist Lands with my master to pay respects to you. You remember, right?"
"Hehe."
"Alright, Senior Bai Yu, Senior Yimiao might not want to speak, so let’s continue our conversation. By the way, you were just saying...."
"Is that so...."
True Monarch Yimiao: "..."
A bit tired.
Truly.
"The younger generation is really becoming harder to deal with these days. If it were two hundred years ago....."
"It was hard to deal with even two hundred years ago, otherwise, Senior, you wouldn’t have done what you did in the Western Domain," Chen Zhixing defiantly interjected.
Bai Yu, who was stuffing an apple into his mouth, upon hearing this, froze as if under the effect of an immobility technique.
This was quite unlucky.
No other reason—Bai Yu had personally experienced the Western Domain battle of True Monarch Yimiao more than two hundred years ago and knew all too well what kind of person the ’Demon Charm’ Daluo Taoist Lord was at that time.
Sure enough.
"Enough nonsense. You can let go of having Tihu help you with your tasks, but some people have run out of patience. The damage caused by the Celestial Fox in the Southern and Central Domains in recent days is too great. If the problem isn’t solved within seven days, they will start holding someone accountable."
True Monarch Yimiao said coldly, with a stern face, indicating that this matter was not up for negotiation.
Chen Zhixing appeared deep in thought.
Seeing that he didn’t immediately agree, Bai Yu, standing aside, broke into a cold sweat for him.
True Monarch Yimiao had two modes of behavior.
In her flirtatious mode, she could speak nicely and even kill with a smile. She might even give you a peck while she’s at it, or just pretend not to hear if you said something offensive.
In her stern mode, she’s the Daluo Saint Master. If anyone dares to oppose her, they usually don’t end well.
Undoubtedly, compared to the former, the latter is more about rules and has a domineering attitude. This is the true demeanor of a Master of the Holy Land.
"Hmm, you are quite right, so, am I to be used as bait?"
But this wasn’t what Senior Yimiao wanted to hear!
"If you think you can manage, I only care about the outcome."
"Master, you are making it hard for me. I can act as bait, but whether the Celestial Fox comes for me is not something I can decide. You know, I cannot control it."
Chen Zhixing ignored the hint from Bai Yu and offered a blank-faced response to True Monarch Yimiao.
True Monarch Bai Yu: "....."
Looked down, shrunk back, stared at toes.
Hoping that True Monarch Yimiao would ignore her.
Although she knew Chen Zhixing made sense, when has True Monarch Yimiao ever been about reason?
Let’s not forget, this is the formidable leader who has dominated the Daluo Taoist Lands for over five thousand years!
"If you can’t do it, then follow the previous plan."
"What plan."
"Bring your Chen Family to where the Celestial Fox last appeared; lure it out and directly strike it down. If once isn’t enough, then twice. After all Chen Family cultivators in the True Self Realm and above are dead, move on to the next family."
While calmly saying these words, True Monarch Yimiao looked icily at Chen Zhixing.
She hoped the young cultivator before her would understand one thing.
When there is nothing pressing, everyone might be able to laugh and chat together. But if you’re really asked to do something and you start equivocating, then don’t blame others for being ruthless.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhixing looked expressionlessly at True Monarch Yimiao.
Saying nothing.
Not showing any stance.
The situation seemed to be deadlocked here.
Until....
"Um... Senior Yimiao, it doesn’t seem like things have escalated to that point yet."
Unable to bear the tense atmosphere between them, Bai Yu spoke up on behalf of Chen Zhixing.
However, her intervention seemed to backfire.
The previously calm Chen Zhixing suddenly picked up his teacup and, still expressionless, said:
"Yimiao, my Chen Family can’t afford such a cost. If you like doing things this way, then use the disciples of your Daluo Sacred Lands as bait."
Are you out of your mind!!!
This time, Bai Yu was truly stunned.
Though everyone knew the world was co-ruled by the Sacred Lands and Noble Families, to confront the Sacred Master of the Sacred Lands face-to-face so boldly?
Bai Yu instinctively wanted to back away from this Longevity Hall.
Hearing Chen Zhixing’s words, Yimiao had already reached out a hand towards him.
Layers upon layers of invisible void rifts.
No words wasted.
Since Chen Zhixing dared to defy the Daluo Saint Master, he had to face the deserved punishment!
Within the Longevity Hall.
As a bright light flashed, the treasure light of the Profound Celestial Mirror barely contained the spread of the void rift. Reflecting the mirror’s light was the endless starlight descending from the sky above.
This time, the starlight did not condense into a Dharma Body of Emperor Ziwei, but became a terrifying repulsive force, forcibly ejecting both True Monarch Yimiao and True Monarch Bai Yu from the confines of Ziwei Mountain.
Simultaneously, a cold voice of Chen Zhixing echoed from the void.
"Ziwei Mountain is small. If the sacred master wishes to act, I’ll be waiting at Emperor’s Foot Mountain in Central State!"
What on earth was happening?
Watching Chen Zhixing vanish almost like a phantom and then observing the Daluo Saint Master turn and step back towards Central State, True Monarch Bai Yu felt a dizzying wave wash over her, utterly bewildered about what had actually transpired during that interval.
