Chapter 1589: Chapter 1589: Provocation
Nie Fei cracked a slight smile. If it were not for her face-to-face encounter with Ouyang Mo, he might not have considered her a threat. The Jiuzhou Sect had changed significantly. This time, she had brought twelve people with her. Aside from herself, who was a Great Lord, the others were all Lords of the Chaos Realm, with even two among them at the Heaven Rank.
The Jiuzhou Sect indeed didn’t have much to attract attention. And as for the Wuling Sect, didn’t a new young man emerge there recently?
Nie Fei knew Ouyang Mo didn’t like to mention the young man, so she simply bowed her head to eat. However, she heard Ouyang Mo ponder for a moment before saying, “I have a proposal. We, the Four Great Sects, should first join forces to eliminate the people from Wuling Sect. As for the Fire Flower, by then it will all come down to our own abilities.”
Nie Fei’s hand trembled in response. She was very clear about the kind of person Ouyang Mo was. If Lu Yaofeng was ruthless, he was also upfront about it, whereas Ouyang Mo was not—he was insidiously treacherous in every aspect.
He was surely holding a grudge against the young man for breaking his fan, something he was bound to avenge. But opportunity missed would not come again.
As long as it was not a move against the Jiuzhou Sect, why would Nie Fei disagree? Moreover, once the Wuling Sect was out of the picture, the Jiuzhou Sect might even gain a share of the spoils. She agreed with a smile, “As long as Yanming and Xie Pu don’t object, what reason do I have to disagree?”
Right then, Ouyang Mo went to discuss the matter with Yanming and Xie Pu. Perhaps thinking along the same lines as Nie Fei, both of them agreed as well.
The next day, Beiting Huang set out from the inn with Zhang Xi and his brother, heading back toward Huayang Mountain. Adventurers had already spread the news that the Fire Flower would bloom in three days. The bloom period was only one time span, and after it passed, the essence within the flower would disperse into the world.
Zhang Xi brought a total of twenty people with him. Aside from Zhang Xuan, who wasn’t even at the Heaven Rank, the rest were all lord-level powerhouses. Coupled with Beiting Huang, whose strength was unknown, their collective combat power was not weak.
Having left the city gates, Beiting Huang’s party immediately encountered four other teams. Apart from Ouyang Mo, whom they had interacted with yesterday, there was a voluptuous woman and two men, one dressed in a black robe and the other in a blue short jacket.
“That woman is from the Jiuzhou Sect, and the other two are Xie Pu and Yanming.”
After hearing the introduction from Zhang Xuan, Beiting Huang realized that the man in the black robe, who appeared refined and elegant, was Xie Pu, while the other, who was tall and burly, was Yanming.
The way these four people looked at them was not right.
A Fire Flower—a Heavenly Material and Earth Treasure—would not be plentiful. At most, there would be only one. At this moment, one couldn’t tell how many teams had come out from the city gates headed into Huayang Mountain. That didn’t even include those who had entered the mountain earlier to stake out a position where the Fire Flower would bloom.
This simply meant it was going to be a grand showdown.
Zhang Xi had already told her that, regarding the premier forces of Mandala Land, there were about five, among which the Jiuzhou Sect was the weakest, followed by the Wuling Sect.
“Young Lord Zhang, if I were you, I wouldn’t go in,” Ouyang Mo said with a meaningful glance at Beiting Huang. “When you clearly know it’s a death sentence to enter, why bother? Or do you want your brother to die a second time?”
Zhang Xi clenched his fists in anger. “Hmph, we’ll see who ends up dying! Ouyang Mo, a person like you should be the one to die!”
“Hahahaha!” Ouyang Mo looked at Zhang Xi with disdain. “In the affairs of the strong, it’s fists that determine who’s superior. If you think cursing someone gives you the upper hand, that’s a woman’s tactic!”
Saying this, Ouyang Mo rallied the people from the other three sects, and they swept out toward the mountains.
