Chapter 490: Hes Weaker

Chapter 490: He's Weaker

In the Spirit Emperor's hidden realm, two moons shone in the sky.

Xiao Nanfeng's red and blue spiritual moons crashed into each other time and again in bursts of red and blue light, as though two sets of cavalry were charging at each other in a fiery tempest.

Blue Lantern guarded Xiao Nanfeng from the side, glancing in surprise at the deific domain that was forming.

Xiao Nanfeng sat cross-legged in meditation in the red and blue domain. Then, his body flickered as he vanished from sight.

"Have you succeeded, Your Majesty? You've harmonized with the world!" Blue Lantern exclaimed.

As Xiao Nanfeng vanished from sight, his two moons revolved in the air. The disturbance down below slowly settled, quelled by a mysterious force. The red and blue light split apart into the shape of taiji and began to revolve slowly.

The next moment, Xiao Nanfeng's figure shimmered into existence once again. His domain vanished as his red and blue moons flew into his mindscape.

"Congratulations on reaching True Yin with your avatar, Your Majesty." Blue Lantern smiled.

"I finally don't have to deal with my color-changing robes any longer." Xiao Nanfeng returned the smile.

"Your red and blue domain was truly something. I've never seen their like before. Both moons wanted to crush the other!"

"Oh? You've seen others with multiple spiritual moons, too?"

"There are a few specialized techniques that allow it in far less volatile a fashion. Your twinned red and blue domain gives off a frightening amount of energy, and I suspect you might even be able to threaten a True Yin cultivator," Blue Lantern said seriously.

"Let's hope so," Xiao Nanfeng replied.

He didn't want to explain his ability in too much detail. He looked all around him. "It's been too long since I returned to the Spirit Emperor's hidden realm. It looks like the heavens have dealt with it."

"Oh?"

"Compared to the first time I was in here, everything's been destroyed. But this is for the best, I suppose. You won't have to worry about anything else." Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

"What will you have me do, Your Majesty?"

"I requested your presence not just to guard me, but also to help me set up a killing formation in this realm."

"A killing formation?"

"Indeed. I intend to lay an ambush for a True Immortal here."

Blue Lantern grew serious. "Is a True Immortal about to head to Yongding?"

"One or more should be here shortly. Have you advanced in your cultivation again? Will you have trouble setting up a formation that can kill a True Immortal?"

"I've recovered to the realm of a Heaven Immortal, and my formation can trap a True Immortal at best. It'll take me time to be able to kill one."

"That's fine. We have plenty of time." Xiao Nanfeng smiled.

"I'll start laying out the formation, then."

"Let me know what you need and I'll have it prepared for you." Xiao Nanfeng nodded firmly.

"Mo Lengxuan, I don't blame you for being unskilled, but your attempt to deflect the blame for this outcome is despicable."

"I, I—" Mo Lengxuan blanched. He wasn't deflecting the blame; this was the truth!

"Tang reminded you several times to be careful when dealing with Xiao Nanfeng, to attack him at full force with the strongest Immortal spirits. You were the one who treated things too lightly, claiming that he was crazy. How can you blame Tang now after having lost so many fights repeatedly? Didn't he make things clear from the start?"

"But—"

"But what? Tang is clearly capable. You were unable to get any Heaven Immortals, but he did his best and even succeeded in doing so. How could you still blame him for your failures? Don't you see that he's been helping you deal with them all along and attempting to uphold your reputation? Meanwhile, you blame him for everything that goes wrong!"

"I—"

Wasn't he telling the truth? Tang had proposed the main stratagem that had been flawed from the beginning. Why was Yin Tianci defending Tang now? How had Tang managed to gain Yin Tianci's trust?

Just then, a series of footsteps resounded outside the hall.

"Your Highness, I heard that Sir Mo has returned!" Tang rushed into the hall.

Mo Lengxuan was incredibly upset. He glared daggers at Tang.

Yin Tianci was extremely upset as well. To him, Tang was an incredibly capable subordinate who had succeeded at everything he did, whereas Mo Lengxuan's repeated failures were shameful and grating.

"Sir Mo, you're here too! A Heaven Immortal crocodile spirit just returned to the crocodile valley to seek out the crocodile king's assistance. This is our chance. We'll be able to spur the True Immortal crocodile king into combat against Dazheng. It'll surely be able to take down Dazheng's forces in no time!" Tang exclaimed.

"You can get a True Immortal to attack Dazheng?" Mo Lengxuan gaped.

"Of course! I've been working on it all this time. All I need is a little push—and its son just perished on the battlefield! We just have to stoke its rage a little."

"Why should we send a True Immortal to the border? Wouldn't it be better to have it head to Yongding and capture Xiao Nanfeng?" Mo Lengxuan demanded.

"But doesn't this deviate from our plan? It's easy for something to go wrong if we change things up so suddenly."

"Nothing will go wrong. We've already wasted too many Immortal spirits sending them to the border! There's no time to waste. We should catch Xiao Nanfeng directly!"

"But, what if—" Tang fretted.

"None of that. I command the frontline. You simply have to convince the crocodile king to act."

Tang glanced around anxiously. He looked toward Yin Tianci, seeking his support.

Although Yin Tianci felt that Tang was on the same page as him, and had even just chastised Mo Lengxuan for his failings, he ultimately chose to side with Mo Lengxuan. After all, Mo Lengxuan's loyalty to Dayin was indubitable.

"We'll follow Sir Mo's plan," Yin Tianci said.

"Ah? Very well," Tang replied, sighing in exasperation.

No one realized that his eyes were shining as though his plan had just succeeded.

Yin Tianci turned to Mo Lengxuan. "Mo Lengxuan, I'll give you one final chance. Don't let me down."

Mo Lengxuan gave Yin Tianci a confident look. "Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll succeed without fail!"
