Chapter 1132 Lysander
1132 Lysander
Qing Mei Sect. The last few days had been really hectic. Despite having his wife by his side, Lith could not hangout with her. She was busy, he was busy, and everyone in the sect was busy working for a secret operation involving the Asuras. Lith sat in an office and was going through papers. Old parchments lay scattered on the floor and the table. Despite the mess, Lith knew exactly what was where. These parchments contained information on the various powerhouses of Shen Ze along with the defenses of the Asura that Arya had painstakingly deciphered. The spies of the Qing Mei Sect had infiltrated the various sects around Shen Ze. They were sending loads of news every single hour, and the most important information was being sent to Lith for review.
Lith was cross-checking what the spies had stated with the information he already possessed. There weren't many mismatches, and in the places where there were, he corrected them.
Going through the papers, Lith found something glaring.
"Lysander - Asura God Clan - 2nd young master"
"The 2nd young master of the Asuras is planning to capture a small territory of the Evure God Clan, the Midnight Bay. The young master is trying to take advantage while the Evure God Clan are busy repairing their defenses."
The paper contained a lot of information and to go through them, Lith had to call in Qingshan and get briefed. Qingshan told Lith that the Evure God Clan suffered an unknown calamity a few days ago. The damage done wasn't a lot, but with how they were going about doing things, it was evident to everyone that the damage was a lot. The Asuras were definitely going to take advantage of it. They were planning an attack on the Evure God Clan, which the clan had an idea of already. It was because the Asuras weren't trying to hide it. They had openly placed the information for everyone to see, and through this, everyone was left wondering what the Asuras were actually going to do. Was this a false attack? Were they trying to divert the Evure God Clan's attention? Or were they genuinely going to attack the Evure God Clan? Which one was it? People were left confused. Sometimes in warfare, the best strategy was to simply announce and see what was going to happen. The Qing Mei Sect's spies found there to be ten different places the Asuras were going to attack. Out of them, Lith's complete attention was on the 2nd young master's attack. Midnight Bay, which the place Lysander was going to attack may seem insignificant, but as per Arya, this was one of the weak zones, attacking which could result in an immediate hole in the Asuras' defenses. There was also a calamity the Evure God Clan faced. Although the clan may seem to be in a weakened state, there weren't any gaps that could be taken advantage of. Add to that, those guys were on high alert and making a hole in their defense would prove rather difficult. This will all change if the Asuras actually stick to their plans and attack the Evure God Clan. They shouldn't be stupid enough to attack them so openly.
Thinking about it from a sane person's perspective, why would the Asura God Clan members act like idiots and attack after giving such an open threat? They had multiple enemies lying in wait, ready to attack anytime they seemed weak. Why would they take such a risk then?
Whatever the case was, Lith had something important in mind that he wanted to do. The area being attacked by the second young master was of great political importance. It could not be ignored. Lith quickly rummaged through the papers and asked, "Qingshan, when can we leave for Midnight Bay?"
Qingshan tapped in the air a few times and checked through Lith's busy schedule.
"In about a day's time, young master."
Lith gave her a nod and went through the papers once again, finishing up his work. A day later, Lith left the place with Qingshan and Wang Wei. …..
Evernight City, Nightingale. It was yet another normal day for the people of Nightingale. The sky was dark, the crimson-silver moon blessed the people with its everlasting moonlight, and the weather was cold, just the way everyone liked it. Upon the cobblestone pavement roamed workers on bicycles, clinking-clanking their way home, trying not to hit the pedestrians.
The magic lamps flickered, letting out a golden sheen amidst the darkness. On this bustling pavement, a lone girl stood in the middle, hands in the pockets, eyes absentmindedly gazing at nothing. Workers walked past her without hitting her, avoiding her as if she was a statue in the middle of the road. Minutes passed with her standing still. She moved her hands in the air and took out a lollipop from thin air. Unwrapping it, a dark blood-colored lollipop with a pungent odor filled the area, making the workers cover their noses and fasten their pace, as if they were passing by a dumpster. The blonde-haired girl's face was devoid of emotions and as she sucked on the pungent blood lollipop, it continued to remain expressionless. Minutes continued to pass once again. It had been a full day since the girl stood on her ground, unmoving. At this point, right behind the girl, the crowd of workers slowly departed, and a flock of bright golden locks started appearing. A pristine face revealed itself, and as if the storm had just been cleared in the sea, a pair of bright blue eyes surfed in the scene.
The lady was tall and had a pair of white wings attached to her bag. She wore divine white robes, appearing extremely holy and pure.
Her gaze was fixed on the blonde girl with a lollipop, and in the calmness of her sky blue eyes, there was a hint of flicker as she felt the girl's aura. "You've been standing here for quite some time, don't you think, young lady?"
A soft, soothing, and gentle voice entered the girl's ears. It had the best melody she had ever heard in her life. Jacqueline, stopping to suck on her lollipop, turned around and gazed at the pristine-looking blonde-haired angel. She took out the lollipop from her mouth and asked in a lax tone, "Not disgusted?"
The lady on the other end had no change in her expression as she answered, "Each individual is unique, child. Your way of living life is not judged by me."
"Big talk." Jacqueline said in a leisurely tone. The lady's expression did not change once again at the obvious taunt from the young girl. "Your aura says you don't belong here." The one line made the young girl's red eyes flicker. What was going on in her mind was unknown as she continued to stare at the blonde lady without saying a single thing. Away from the two's area of conflict, Lilith sat in the Royal Castle's courtyard, sipping tea and watching their interaction. 'She sure has improved.'
After a long time, Lilith saw her seraphim daughter-in-law, Emilia. She has ascended and wasn't a seraphim anymore but a King of Angels. Maybe due to the Heavenly Emperor's ascension, she wouldn't be called a King of Angels, and would stick to being referred to as a Seraphim. It was slightly complicated. Continuing to watch, Lilith found the two girls having a stare down. If they fought, Emilia may or may not lose. This little lass had grown quite a lot in the days she was absent from the family gatherings. Back at the stare down, Jacqueline had a nagging feeling that she was being watched. Her instincts were never wrong, but logically, things did not make any sense. She was a Legendary Rank, in the highest realm of martial cultivation in the universe. There shouldn't be anyone in Shen Ze at whom she couldn't look back. Emilia took a step ahead, unafraid and unwavering, towards the dirty blonde-haired girl. Emilia wasn't the tallest in the family, but standing in front of this girl with a haggard expression, she had to look down at her, quite literally, to meet her eye level. "Are you here for malicious reasons, child?"
Emilia's tone was as gentle as ever, making Jacqueline's eyes flicker in confusion. She was ready to throw hands if things went south, but from start to finish, the pretty angel had never said anything bad. Jacqueline looked right into Emilia's eyes and said, "I'll open a portal for you. Run while you still can."
In a single glance, Jacqueline could tell that Emilia was a pure and kindhearted person. Such people were rare in the universe, and did not exist at all in her own clan. She had a good impression of such a type of person and hence made an offer. Emilia shook her head and politely refused. "If you are here to harm my world, I'm afraid I might have to use force with you."
Jacqueline closed her eyes and took a deep breath and thought, 'Such a poor and kind soul is going to suffer unnecessarily… bless her soul…'
