Chapter 795: Break Up

Senior Immortal Poxu was very glad that he was currently in the heart demon state.

Otherwise, the trouble would be really big.

In the heart demon state, although his combat ability was reduced by a lot, his mind was much sober, so he would not do stupid things.

What kind of stupid things?

For example, when you saw the target, you rushed forward and did whatever you want, which was a truly stupid thing.

Xia Xiaohe assigned him a task, asking him to find a girl named Feng Ling and used the magic needle to unlock the seal and release the Nine-Tailed Fox. Now, Feng Yin had been found, and she was not far away from him. In person, she was exactly the same as her in the portrait, especially the heroic bearing in her face.

However, the next part was the key part. How could he use the magic needle to unlock the seal?

The worst choice was to go hard… Although with the strength of Senior Immortal Poxu he could set off natural disasters in any part of Nine Regions and kill thousands of people, this was the foot of Spirit Sword Mountain, the headquarters of one of the five super sects in Nine Regions. More importantly, according to Xia Xiaohe, the collection that he infatuated was from Spirit Sword Sect, and the alien who was extremely troublesome to Xia Xiaohe was also a member of Spirit Sword Sect. Thus, from Poxu’s point of view, Spirit Sword Mountain was undoubtedly the most dangerous place in Nine Regions. Once he made his move, he must be resolute and perfectly ready.

What should he do then? Poxu thought about it and then decided to take one step at a time. Since he had seen the target, the rest would be polished by him slowly. In any case, Xia Xiaohe didn’t set a time limit for the task, so why should he be anxious? Moreover, he was clear headed now and was not afraid of any changes after a long delay.

Thus, he openly stepped into the inn and then shouted out with a smile, “I want to order the best dishes here!”

Feng Ling, who was inspecting the lobby, took a glance at him and then ignored him. Right now, she didn’t need to do anything by herself any more. Even beating the bad customers who deliberately picked fault with the food was just because she was in the mood to do it. Otherwise, if there were many thugs in the inn, why would she personally go to the lobby to show off her power?

And the guest who shouted in the hall didn’t seem to be anything special. He was just an ordinary tourist. She could meet thousands of such tourists in a day… However, on the other hand, there was a hint of palpitation in Feng Ling’s heart.

Which was called the throbbing of fear.

Feng Ling believed in her intuition, but also trusted her vision. This contradiction made her frown, but in the end, she didn’t think much about it.

This was at the foot of Spirit Sword Mountain, what should she worry about?

And thus, Feng Ling spent the next five days in this contradictory psychology.

These five days had been ordinary. The inn was as busy as ever, and the rooms were as full as ever. Under such supply and demand imbalance situations, the room price in the Ru Family Inn was notoriously expensive… Therefore, the Lady Boss naturally noticed a certain scholar who had stayed in the upper room for five days.

And the scholar himself gradually felt that his patience was running out. He lived here for five days, so it could be said that he lived with Feng Ling all the time. However, after five days, he couldn’t find the other party’s flaws at all, so he couldn’t get the opportunity to do it.

Because this Lady Boss was simply abominable! She lived in the inn every day and did not go out even one step. All the materials and ingredients in the inn were purchased and handed over to her subordinates. And she did not go out for inspection. During this period, the Lady Boss met some friends, but people came over to see her yet he never saw her go out.

In this situation, he could not make his move at all. As long as Feng Ling didn’t leave Spirit Sword Mountain, then if Poxu made his move, it would inevitably cause a backlash. Poxu actually was not afraid of a backlash, he was just afraid of the angry Xia Xiaohe.

After much deliberation, Poxu decided not to wait any longer and took the initiative.

The attack method was also very simple. Since Feng Ling refused to leave Spirit Sword Mountain, then he would find a way to make her leave. Senior Immortal Poxu had the “Xu” Immortal Technique (Xu here means void, emptiness, false). With this, it was easy for him to deceive someone to go somewhere else.

Half a day later, Feng Ling saw an unexpected visitor in her room.

When she saw the person, the Lady Boss who had always been efficient and confident and at ease, showed an indescribable complexion.

“Why are you here? I don’t want to see you.”

As she spoke, she involuntarily took a half step forward.

——

In a small town two hundred and fifty kilometers south of the Red Sea in Eastern Border Region. In a tea shop in the town, Bai Ze and Xuan Mo were facing a pot of coarse tea. Their faces were heavy.

“Are we… really going to do it?” Bai Ze held a small tea cup in his hand and asked softly.

Xuan Mo was silent and could not give the answer.

“Xia Xiaohe’s words are really reasonable. The power of the immortal world is too strong to be rivaled by the Nine Regions. It’s better to give our own people some living space than to fight till everyone dies.” Bai Ze gently said, “But, although we understand such a simple truth, do other people understand? Why…”

Xuan Mo impatiently interrupted, “Okay, what’s the use of saying those things now? I don’t care what you like to negate, but do we have a way back?”

“Why not?” Bai Ze smiled gently.

Xuan Mo was suddenly stunned. She said, “Bai Ze, do you really mean it?”

Bai Ze said, “Think about it. If you want to go back, this is it, this is the time. First of all, Xia Xiaohe is far away in Western Continent, so we are free. Although we surrendered to Xia Xiaohe, we didn’t really do anything to harm Nine Regions. On the contrary, by following her, we learned a lot of important information. Like Senior Immortal Poxu and Immortal King Xia Yu, and that they were about to attack Feng Ling and Aya–Which is clearly aimed at Wang Lu. The value of this information is enough to make up for the defection that we have taken. On the other hand, if we say that our surrender was just fake, a false pretense to gather intelligence… Then we won’t even have stains on our names.”

Bai Ze said this lightly and casually, so much so that it seemed as if he had a card up his sleeve. However, Xuan Mo’s hands were slightly shaking.

“Baize, you should know that Xia Xiaohe can hear those words just now…”

“So what? Can she make it back in time? Moreover, do you think she’ll trust us even if we don’t say anything and behave meekly and obediently?” Bai Ze chuckled and shook his head, “Judging whether a person is credible or not depends on what he has done, not what he said. If we really conspire against our comrades and destroy the Red Sea Underwater Workshop, then we will no longer have a place to live in Nine Regions and it will be impossible for us to go back. At that time, even if we have more ideas and opinions, Xia Xiaohe will not mind. But now, before it’s done, she won’t trust whatever we say. So… if you want to say something just say, why care so much about her? The key here is what you’re going to do.”

Hearing Bai Ze’s words, Xuan Mo’s heart calmed down a little, and the balance that weighed the two sides began to tilt towards one side.

However, another sentence from Bai Ze made Xuan Mo feel uneasy again.

“I want to stay.”

“What are you talking about?”

Bai Ze calmly repeated, “I want to stay in Xia Xiaohe’s side.”

Xuan Mo shook her head in disbelief and asked, “… Why?”

“You would understand this… A good bird chooses a tree to nest in and Xia Xiaohe’s party is the more powerful party.”

“I don’t believe it.”

This was not the Bai Ze that she knew. Although in her impression Bai Ze was stupid and could do wrong things, he always had backbone. Xia Xiaohe and the Fallen Immortals were indeed powerful, but under the leadership of Sun Buping around sixteen thousand years ago, they had a vicious war against the upper world that they knew was a certain death for them, and they even experienced something akin to rebirth after death. Thus, they were really not afraid of dying again. They had previously submitted to Xia Xiaohe because of her friendly attitude toward the Nine Regions and wished to open the door for her here.

However, in the past five years, they have gradually abandoned the plan to change Xia Xiaohe. That woman would not be shaken by anyone, and her friendliness towards Nine Regions had gradually been stripped away, revealing a more cold essence. Both Bai Ze and Xuan Mo had been disappointed with her. When Bai Ze proposed to go back, Xuan Mo initially didn’t think much about it, but Bai Ze was actually serious, and moreover, he actually wanted to stay!

Why?

“Because I can see that you don’t want to stay.”

“What?”

Bai Ze said, “One of us should be enough. You know what I know, so one more person is meaningless. And as I said earlier, Xia Xiaohe is the stronger side. Even if we make more efforts, we can’t rule out the possibility of the entire army being wiped out. At that time, we need someone to continue the fire for us.”

“Even if…”

“Even if my name has to go down the history as a byword for infamy… Don’t look at me that way. Didn’t I play the same role when I followed our old boss? I know you were all scolding me, but this is my job.”

Seeing Bai Ze like this, Xuan Mo suddenly felt sore in her eyes.

It was true that at the time, Bai Ze indeed played a role that was criticized by many people, and he did not regret it.

But Xuan Mo was filled with regret. Why didn’t she see this other side of Bai Ze before? Why did she, without any basis, dislike his negation talk? Why did she just watch and be happy in secret when he flew into rage after some thoughtless people made a practical joke on him?

“Bai Ze, I…”

Bai Ze said with a smile, “Enough, don’t show me that look, as if we’re going to part forever. I believe we’ll meet again one day, and I hope to see your smile at that time.”

With that, he suddenly turned serious and said, “While Xia Xiaohe is still in Western Continent, you need to hurry up! I will make a scene in the Red Sea. While you, don’t forget your mission!”

With that, Bai Ze turned into a rainbow light and flew toward the Red Sea in the north. Xuan Mo watched him leave and was silent for a long time. Then, she picked up her tea cup, rinsed her mouth with the bitter and cold tea, and then stood up.

The moment she got up, she suddenly felt as if ice had penetrated into her bones.

At the door of the tea shop, Xia Xiaohe was looking at her with great interest.

“Why don’t you go? Don’t know the way anymore? Well then, I’ll take you wherever you want to go.”
