#670 - Chapter 670: Waiting for the opportunity
“Tsk tsk, I thought he was strong, but he's just a silver spearhead with a waxy shaft, all show and no substance!”
Lin Yaoyao mocked, then called out, “You can all come in now, it's over.”
Ye Ling was the first to enter, gazing at the already deceased Mo Wuwei, and said, “He really was a pushover, but are you sure you're not going to chase after him?”
“As a ruler of another world, he can't possibly die so easily.”
Ye Ling couldn't help but remind Lin Yaoyao.
Lin Yaoyao, hearing this, said, “No need. Finding Master and Xiaobai is the priority.”
“These are matters for later.”
Ye Ling, hearing this, patted her own head and said, “Ah, I forgot.”
This was the first time Mu Qianyuan had seen this side of the usually aloof Spirit of All Things, and his eyes widened in surprise.
“Let's find Master and Xiaobai first, you all search!” Lin Yaoyao said to Xiaoqing and the others.
Xiaoqing and the others all nodded, heading straight into Mo Wuwei's palace to search.
They searched all the important halls, such as the sleeping quarters, the audience hall, the Dragon Gate Hall, the Thundercloud Hall… They didn't even miss the corners of the walls.
After finding nothing, they searched every inch of Mo Wuwei's palace, even checking the latrines, but still found nothing.
The commotion at Thunder Origin Country immediately alarmed Emperor Mo.
He had just gotten out of bed when he suddenly saw a flash of lightning in the southwest.
At first, he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just Mo Wuwei practicing his usual moves.
But after watching for a while, he realized something was wrong.
The lightning only lasted for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, before being completely obscured by an even more dazzling light.
Before half an incense stick's time had passed, Thunder Origin was completely gone, with not even a trace of its aura remaining.
“Someone, go to Thunder Origin Country and find out what happened!!!”
Thinking of the Erha he had snatched from逍遥 Peak, which was still in Thunder Origin Country, Emperor Mo instantly lost his composure.
“This subject will go!”
Mo Wuxie, Emperor Mo's most capable subordinate, stepped forward.
However, before Mo Wuxie could step out with his left foot, Mo Wuwei, weeping miserably, appeared to his right.
“Your Majesty, please, you must avenge me!”
Mo Wuwei was now just a faint gray shadow, and even that shadow was weak and fragile, as if it could disappear at any moment.
“Mo Wuwei, how did you get into this state?”
Emperor Mo was shocked when he saw Mo Wuwei's appearance.
“Your Majesty, the Immortal Realm has invaded Thunder Origin Country, and all the soldiers of Thunder Origin Country have been wiped out. Please send troops immediately…”
After struggling to say these words, the shadow on the ground instantly dissipated.
“Impudent!”
Emperor Mo's anger soared to the sky, the burning rage seemingly able to burn a hole in the heavens.
In his rage, he could only utter this one word.
“Wuxie, immediately lead your elite troops to support Thunder Origin Country!”
“I will report this to the Imperial Chancellor, and demand justice for our Otherworld!”
In Emperor Mo's view, this action by the Immortal Realm had already escalated to a war between the two realms.
“Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, this subject will not fail in my mission!”
Mo Wuxie said, clenching his fists and bowing deeply to Emperor Mo.
Soon, Mo Wuxie led his elite troops to Thunder Origin City, the capital of Thunder Origin Country.
The once bustling city was now eerily quiet, with many soldiers' corpses lining the streets, but no civilians.
The streets were also very clean, indicating that there was no large-scale looting.
Seeing this, Mo Wuxie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In his opinion, this must be because the people from the Immortal Realm who came this time were few in number and not strong.
Otherwise, with the nature of the cultivators of their Otherworld, they would kill all the weak and powerless.
“All soldiers, listen to my command, now spread out and guard all the exits of Thunder Origin City.”
“We must not allow the rebels to escape from our hands.”
“Soldiers at the Golden Core stage and above, follow me to charge, others keep a close watch in the dark, and do not let others discover your existence unless absolutely necessary!”
After Mo Wuxie finished speaking, his entire body became as light as a swallow, instantly transforming into a ball of lightning, disappearing into the clouds.
Although Mo Wuxie's subordinates did not have Mo Wuxie's powerful skills, they also silently stuck to the bottom of the clouds, following the direction Mo Wuxie was heading.
At the same time, Lin Yaoyao and the others searched every nook and cranny of Mo Wuwei's palace but still found nothing.
Just as she was about to continue searching, Ye Ling suddenly cocked her ear and made a "shush" gesture.
Seeing this, everyone instantly understood Ye Ling's meaning, and the scene fell silent.
Ye Ling listened for a while before saying, “Stop searching for now, hide with me, someone from the Otherworld is coming.”
Mu Qianyuan asked, puzzled, “We didn't steal or rob, why hide?”
Before Mu Qianyuan could finish speaking, Mu Qianqian glared at him and said, “Before knowing the enemy's strength, it's best to hide first.”
Mu Qianyuan finally understood.
Mu Qianqian then remembered something and said, “Vice Peak Master, let's set up a trap first.”
Ye Ling nodded upon hearing this, “I would have forgotten if you hadn't said so.”
“Now that we're here, we can't return empty-handed.”
“Since the Otherworld has repeatedly come to our Immortal Realm to provoke us, we can't let them have an easy time either!”
Lin Yaoyao took over and said, “Vice Peak Master, you're right, that's what we should do.”
“But leave these small matters to us, you and Pavilion Master Mu can rest.”
Ye Ling nodded and said, “That's what I intend. I need to give you a good workout.”
“Then you guys start setting things up. I won't interfere!”
Mu Qianyuan was a little worried about Mu Qianqian and asked with some concern, “Do you really not need our help?”
Mu Qianqian nodded firmly.
Seeing this, Mu Qianyuan knew that it was not good to interfere further, so he and Ye Ling went outside.
Mu Qianqian, guided by the power of nature that Ye Ling had taught her, used the surrounding natural environment to set up traps in every available space.
Lin Yaoyao and the others set up several layers of formations around Mo Wuwei's palace.
In the blink of an eye, traps and formations were set up.
Seeing that the traps and formations were all set up, everyone, with Ye Ling's help, concealed their auras and hid in the dark to await the enemy.
Just as they had hidden themselves, a large cloud of dark clouds slowly moved over Mo Wuwei's bedroom.
At first glance, this dark cloud was no different from other clouds, but upon closer inspection, the difference was great.
Lin Yaoyao and the others did not initially notice anything wrong with this dark cloud, until it moved directly above them that they realized it.
