Lady Su’s Revenge - Chapter 663 Bai Su Is Uneasy
When Hua Yan left the hall, Bai Su also stood up and left to make preparations.
The grand elders of 27 sects looked at each other in silence for a moment and then closed their eyes for rest. Because attacking the Fate Palace was the most important thing now, they would rather wait here for the result than leave.
In the secret room, the divination items Bai Su requested were soon ready.
Hua Yan stood aside, quietly watching as Bai Su was burning incense with a devout look. After finishing that, Bai Su stood up, and Hua Yan finally couldn’t help but speak.
“Does divination have an effect on you?”
Bai Su paused and soon looked up with a smile, “Divination is to calculate nature’s mystery. It is a great disrespect. Even a mortal’s birth chart will be damaged by calculation, let alone I am calculating the cultivation circle. But whether it has any effect or not is of little significance to me at the moment.”
“But I ’see your hesitation.”
A light crossed Hua Yan’s eyes, “What are you worried about?”
Bai Su was slightly stunned and then seized Hua Yan up in surprise, “So you’re following the ancient school, Hua Circle. I thought this school had been lost long ago, but I didn’t expect it to have an heir left in the world. No wonder the Ni Sect is impenetrable. In front of Hua Circle’s mind-reading technique, even Bai Mo can’t tell a lie.”
“It is only to prevent people from telling lies.” Hua Yan gave a helpless smile, “I have too little strength to help.”
“Don’t belittle yourself.”
Bai Su shook his head and chuckled, “If you are not a lord, I should let you enter the Reincarnation Mirror as well. The power of Hua Circle is far above your imagination. Although you are weak before becoming an immortal, your strength will probably not be inferior to Su Jiuzhou after becoming an immortal.
“Su Jiuzhou is a geek, but only before becoming an immortal. After ascending to the immortal position, everything will have to be recalculated.”
At this point, Bai Su shook his head with embarrassment, “I naturally know a lot in my current state and can’t help saying more. Haha…”
Hua Yan covered her mouth with a chuckle and bowed, “Thanks for Senior Bai’s encouragement. I won’t bother you anymore.”
With that, Hua Yan turned to leave the secret room, and the door closed slowly.
Bai Su stopped smiling and took a light breath. He lit a spirit candle and formed a seal with his slender hands. Then starlight emerged gradually and dyed the white candlelight into the nattier blue one, then the dark blue one… until it was a starlit sky in the secret room.
Then Bai Su leaned back, and countless images began to emerge.
The time river contained ten thousand possibilities. He quickly turned his eyes and soon found the image after choosing to start a war.
It was a ruin. From the palace wreckage, Bai Su could tell at a glance that it was not the building of the Ni Sect, but it was not the Fate Palace’s either.
On the wreckage, two blurred figures were flickering. Bits of dark red blood spilled from the two and stained the sect’s mark there.
Seeing the sect’s mark, Bai Su’s mood fluctuated instantly, and thus the image collapsed.
Bai Su’s consciousness returned to the secret room. He gasped and recalled the image just now carefully, muttering, “That’s impossible. Why would it involve…”
After composing himself, he once again established contact with the starlit sky and entered the image of not choosing to start a war.
Countless pictures flashed back before Bai Su’s eyes and then stopped at a certain moment.
Under the dark red sky, it was full of wreckage and ruins with the same white figures, spilling blood, and the sect’s mark.
The image was surprisingly exactly the same as he chose not to start a war.
Bai Su hurried to close his astrology with a pale face.
In other words, whether he chose to start a war or not, the result would be the same.
Why was this?
The decision of the war didn’t lie with him, so who did it lie with?
Bai Su closed his eyes softly and calmed himself down. Then he opened the door of the secret room and said firmly when Hua Yan stepped forward, “Tianhe Sect. I need all the information about the Tianhe Sect right now!”
Hua Yan didn’t understand why, but she still turned away at once.
Soon after, Hua Yan led Su Mu and Su Yang over.
“The two guys had been spies of the Tianhe Sect. They know a lot about the Tianhe Sect and are very happy to tell us.”
Bai Su nodded. A trace of worry crossed Hua Yan’s eyes. Since Bai Su finished his divination and came out, he had been wearing a serious expression. What exactly did he see?
“Are you the master behind the Tianyake Attic?”
Su Yang asked lazily with his hands behind his head.
Over the years, his character was no different from before, but his cultivation had reached the initial stage to pass in nature’s test. Likewise, Su Mu, who was standing aside in silence, had reached the initial stage to pass in nature’s test.
Bai Su rolled his eyes, then he said something, which startled the two with a frown.
“You two aren’t born to be talents. Have your talents been forcibly tampered with?”
Su Yang’s face changed, and he forced a smile, “Senior, you really have a keen eye and saw through we brothers at the first meeting.”
“I am not your brother.”
Su Mu cast a cold glance at Su Yang and spoke lightly. Then he bowed to Bai Su, “Senior, please ask what you want to know and I’ll tell you everything without reserve.”
Bai Su looked thoughtfully at the two discordant men and asked after pondering for a moment, “Who gave you the talents?”
Su Mu furrowed his brow and said the name that he was most reluctant to recall.
“The head of Shu Hall, Fang Mi.”
“Shu Hall?”
Bai Su was surprised and fell into contemplation.
Now no one in the Qingshui Circle knew more about the Qingshui Palace than him.
After the Qingshui Circle’s destruction, the halls of its affiliated families grew stronger instead of disappearing. They experienced tens of thousands of years of development and became the top four holy sects today!
So far, Bai Su hadn’t yet found out which affiliated sect the Shengtian Shrine was. Bai Mo covered off too much information of its past, which made him unable to divine.
Qu family of the Ankui Valley, was developed from the Du Hall of Qingshui Palace.
Yin family of the Huangxing Hall, was also affiliated with the Qingshui Palace. Because of the large number of female practitioners, they had many marriage alliances with the Qingshui Palace. Back then, they were in charge of the Shang Hall and the Xing Hall, and their divination skills were mostly taught by Bai Su. But now they were Bai Mo’s pawns, which was really ridiculous.
As for the Fang family of the Tianhe Sect, Bai Su had always thought that it was the Qi Hall’s branch, but he didn’t expect them to secretly draw the Shu Hall in. As the two strongest halls of the Qingshui Palace, did the Qi Hall and the Shu Hall have bad intentions after becoming an alliance…
How much did Fang Yuan know about the secret of Tianhe Sect?
Bai Su temporarily suppressed his speculation and continued to ask, “Has the Tianhe Sect ever killed innocent people indiscriminately, or committed acts of injustice?”
“Yes!”
Su Yang almost blurted out, “Many ordinary disciples died in the Shu Hall for no reason just to build people with unparalleled talent. Does such a sin count as an indiscriminate slaughter of innocents?
Bai Su’s heart sank, and then he nodded, “Yes.”
So it made sense that the Tianhe Sect was destroyed by the thunder for testing. The Tianhe Sect did evil things, and even how many years it lasted was unknown. As long as Bai Mo wanted, he could destroy it at any time. No wonder Bai Mo didn’t have the slightest regard for the Tianhe Sect.
After vaguely surmising the clue, Bai Su was more heavy-hearted. With the foundation of the Tianhe Sect, they should have been a helper to overthrow the Fate Palace, but now…
“I’ve heard from my elder sister.”
Su Mu continued regardless of whether Bai Su was listening or not, “The Tianhe Sect had thought about creating a demon to overthrow the Fate Palace, but their plan failed because the Shu Hall had its limit. Then they had no choice but to turn their energy to the Qi Hall. However, I don’t know the plan of the Qi Hall.”
Hearing this, Bai Su felt less confused at once and asked involuntarily, “Where is your sister now? If she knows the plan of the Qi Hall, maybe…”
“She’s dead.”
Su Mu’s voice was calm and dull, but tears welled up in his eyes, “A long time ago, she was killed by Fang Mi because she wanted to save us.”
“She is Fang Mi’s first disciple.”
Su Yang turned his head to the side and added in a low and deep voice, “While we’re just her attendants.”
Bai Su was stunned for a moment without a word.
No wonder.
No wonder the Tianhe Sect had been holding a pretend friendly attitude towards the Ni Sect but always avoided talking further once it comes to formal cooperation. Only Fang Yuan was alone in the Ni Sect and had never made any decision from the standpoint of the Tianhe Sect.
It was not ordinary person to dare to do such a rebellious thing.
Although Fang Yuan was a holy boy, he wasn’t in charge and even had no right of speech in the Tianhe Sect.
Thinking of this, Bai Su wore a complicated expression and let out a sigh in the end.
A few moments later, Bai Su came to the hall of the Ni Sect slowly and looked up at 27 pairs of expectant and inquiring eyes. Immediately, he felt his feet floundering.
Every word he said next would be a matter of success or failure and… everyone’s life or death!
After a lament, Bai Su met their changing expressions and spoke in a low voice, “Whether starting a war or not, our chance of winning will be as extremely slim as a drop in the ocean.
“I still don’t understand Bai Mo’s purpose yet.
“My following words will probably be wrong, and… leave a bad name forever.
“But even so, I have to say.
“The key to this battle is the Tianhe Sect! At most a month, the Tianhe Sect will become ruins.”
The crowd’s gaze changed. Before this, they could see the ambiguous attitude of the Tianhe Sect. Now if they had to ask their disciples to fight for the Tianhe Sect, how could they be willing to do that?
“I believe you all understand the truth that the teeth feel cold with bared lips. We can’t afford to lose any allies now.”
Bai Su cast a grave glance over them, “Send troops to the Tianhe Sect right now. Perhaps I can defuse the crisis before the war starts.”
“Senior Bai, since you have said so…”
Xiang Hua first stood up, “Our Fenglei Sect is willing to fight with Senior Bai!”
“Our Shengxue Sect will also send a troop!”
“Our Fengxi Sect will join in!”
“Join in!”
…
Seeing the grand elders stand up one after one, Hua Yan felt an upsurge of emotion and couldn’t stop revealing a smile. Back then, Su Li fought alone. Who would have imagined that such a huge force would gather around her now?
Bai Su nodded at the grand elders who stood up, but there was still no smile on his face.
Although that was only his intuition, he always felt that Bai Mo’s purpose was not as simple as destroying the Tianhe Sect. Bai Mo could have destroyed the Tianhe Sect long ago, but why did he choose this time?
The scene of blood flowing like water had been appearing before his eyes.
Bai Su felt bad and had a vague feeling that he had made a wrong decision, but he couldn’t find what he did wrong…
