Chapter 657

### Chapter 657: Traitors Appear in Eight Desolates Nine Domains, Deciding Allegiance

Watching the battle in the sky, Su Yao was filled with reluctance.

If it weren’t for the disparity in realms, he definitely wouldn’t be in such a sorry state.

Thinking of this, the desire for Su Yao to grow stronger intensified to the extreme, and all his previous accumulations began to gradually undergo changes.

The golden Sky Soul, shaped like a brush, started to turn red, and a phantom book appeared faintly, obviously a sign of the emergence of the seventh Sky Soul.

Su Yao trembled as he picked up the brush and wrote the character “one” on the blank page of the book.

But before he could continue writing, Chen Changsheng’s voice sounded in his ear.

“Although interrupting your comprehension is very ungracious, I still advise against you going all out.”

Hearing this, Su Yao turned to see a fist-sized “Chen Changsheng” that had appeared on his shoulder at an unknown time.

“No need to look, it’s just a talisman incarnation, a small trick.”

“You are the elder pen of the Mountain River Academy, and you have not only obtained the true transmission but have also been generously taught by Dragon Tiger Mountain.”

“Gathering the essences of both Daoism and Confucianism, your future achievements are limitless.”

“But there’s a problem you may not have considered: the Supreme Saint is unique to the Eight Desolates Nine Domains.”

“If you continue using Confucian methods now, your identity will be exposed.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yao spoke up, “But if this continues, we will all d*e.”

“Don’t worry, the people from the Xuanwu Sect and Ten Thousand Beasts Sect won’t let anything happen to you.”

“The great battle is imminent; each major sect is also cleaning up unstable factors, and this is a test for you.”

“According to intelligence, there are traitors in the Eight Desolates Nine Domains, and someone is bringing your information to the Four Directions Continent.”

“Your current mission is to pass the most basic test, and then find a way to deal with that traitor.”

“If this matter is not handled well, your lives could be in danger.”

“Alright, I have matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first; how to proceed is up to you to consider.”

With that, Chen Changsheng transformed into a puff of blue smoke and disappeared.

Faced with such a situation, Su Yao thought for a moment, then rolled his eyes and fainted.

Having been severely injured, Su Yao was already on the brink, barely holding on with remaining willpower. Without Chen Changsheng’s intervention, he might have unleashed unparalleled potential.

However, after hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Su Yao realized there was no need to continue holding on.

His performance today was already up to standard; if he performed too well, it would raise suspicion.

……

In the shadows.

The upper echelons of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the Xuanwu Sect gathered once again.

“Did you stop Chen Xiang?”

“His sword is very strong; we couldn’t stop him.”

“What about Xu Yao?”

“She was stabbed by Chen Xiang, fortunately, has half a breath left.”

“This time, Chen Xiang’s objective is likely to cause trouble for Dantai Mingmie; after all, that kid has a foul mouth.”

“There are quite a few who want to k*ll him in the Eight Desolates Nine Domains.”

Receiving this answer, Baili Xinghai nodded and said, “Although Xu Yao’s survival in Dantai Mingmie’s hands involved some luck, she indeed shows promise.”

“Though Su Yao was no match, his performance was still commendable; after all, he has just reached the Bone Transformation Realm.”

“Little Brother Ye, how do you suggest we allocate these kids?”

In response, Ye Gao Fei replied lightly, “The kids like each other; we should not interfere as elders.”

“Xu Yao and Su Yao return to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, you can take the others.”

“That might not work; the two most promising talents being taken by you puts me at a disadvantage with the sect.”

Facing Baili Xinghai’s words, Ye Gao Fei looked at him and said, “If you feel shortchanged, you can take Xu Yao and Su Yao, and I’ll keep the rest.”

“The fusion of Gui Daoran’s Sky Souls, Ma Ling’er’s red beast-type Sky Soul, and Jian Fei’s flying sword technique.”

“Each of these individuals is a top-tier prodigy, although their overall performance may be slightly inferior to Xu Yao and Su Yao.”

“But there are four of them, giving me a numerical advantage.”

Upon hearing this, Baili Xinghai pondered.

Xu Yao and Su Yao mixing with Ye Feng’s siblings could lead to chaos in forcibly bringing them to the Xuanwu Sect.

Moreover, that girl Si Ma Lan seemed to have a soft spot for Jian Fei, so he had to consider her feelings.

Rather than finding two headstrong ones, it was better to find four obedient and promising talents.

Thinking this, Baili Xinghai spoke up, “Alright, then we’ll go with Little Brother Ye’s method.”

“Additionally, I will handle that traitor Ye Xingxian on behalf of Little Brother Ye.”

“Absolutely not!”

Ye Gao Fei directly rejected Baili Xinghai’s goodwill.

“The traitor from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect must be dealt with by my own hand.”

With that, Ye Gao Fei disappeared from the spot.

……

The assassination was quickly quelled, but the impact of the incident did not settle.

The first prodigy of the Xuanwu Sect, Baili Changhai, directly blocked the entrance of the Azure Dragon Sect, defeating eighteen prodigies from the Azure Dragon Sect consecutively.

The quasi-Realm Lord of Zhongzhou learned of this incident and became furious, ordering the Azure Dragon Sect and Xuanwu Sect to rush to Zhongzhou immediately.

After such a commotion, the attention of all the prominent figures centered on Zhongzhou.

Xu Yao and their lives became much more comfortable.

“Big Brother Su, how’s your recovery today?”

Seeing Ye Hong walking over with a food box, Su Yao smiled slightly and replied, “Much better, thanks to you sending me soup and medicine every day.”

“As long as Big Brother Su likes it, I’ll keep sending it until you’re fully recovered.”

The two engaged in light banter, the sweet scent of romance lingering in the air.

At the same time, another person came with a food box to check on the patient.

“Miss Xu, how are you feeling now?”

Facing Xu Yao, who was wrapped like a mummy, Ye Feng’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Seeing this, Xu Yao pouted.

“If you came to bring me medicine, you can leave now; I need alcohol.”

Hearing this, Ye Feng smiled and opened the food box, revealing a small jar of wine.

Xu Yao: (͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧

“You truly understand me; quickly fill it up.”

The four of them paired off, a situation that made Jian Fei feel a chill run down his spine.

Subsequently, Jian Fei looked speechlessly at Si Ma Lan beside him.

“What are you looking at me for? I’m not injured; I don’t need others to bring me medicine.”

“You better not do that; I can’t take it.”

Hearing this, Si Ma Lan grinned and said, “Don’t worry, I can’t do that. I have something else to discuss with you.”

“What is it?”

“Your affiliations have likely been decided. Su Yao and Xu Yao will go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and the rest will head to the Xuanwu Sect, including Ma Ling’er as well.”

“I know she is your moonlight, and it’s normal to not forget her.”

“Men always like to have their arms around more than one person.”

“Why not work hard? I wouldn’t mind if you marry another.”

Upon hearing this, Jian Fei looked at Si Ma Lan seriously and said, “Even if you say all this flowery talk, I can’t give you the answer you want.”

“But I firmly believe time will answer all questions.”

“This includes how I will choose.”

“Hehehe!”

“I like your demeanor of being seemingly unfocused but calm when it comes to matters of the heart.”

“In this state, you are always so charming and able to provide a sense of security.”
