"Indeed, it is the family plotting..."
Seeing Yang Wei in that instant made Jiang Dali’s previous suspicions even clearer.
At the sa ti, in the valley, Yang Wei stepped forward, seemingly engaging in conversation with Dongfang Bubai.
Too far to hear clearly, Jiang Dali could not catch the words.
But just by looking at Dongfang Bubai’s expression, starting with delight and affection at first sight of Yang Wei to incredulity followed by a sudden harsh shout, Jiang Dali knew that Yang Wei must have proposed so condition that incensed Dongfang Bubai.
Considering Yang Wei’s current disguised identity as Yang Lianting, even though it was a fake one, it nonetheless won Dongfang Bubai’s favor.
That this could still provoke Dongfang Bubai must an that Yang Wei had demanded the Sunflower Treasure Book.
To Dongfang Bubai,
a beloved man was certainly important,
but obviously could not compare to the much more cherished Sunflower Treasure Book.
When Dongfang Bubai first succeeded to power, full of ambitious heroic aspirations, she aid to cut off Ren Woxing’s influence and cultivate her own confidants, poised for a grand vision of rule and governance.
But once she truly encountered the Sunflower Treasure Book, it was like opening the doors to a new world.
From then on, she beca indifferent to all other affairs, including ambitions and powers.
Such was the intense allure of the Sunflower Treasure Book to Dongfang Bubai.
And for the Player Yang Wei to demand the Sunflower Treasure Book at this juncture was evidently a calculated move by the family.
Jiang Dali had thought the family would not strike at Dongfang Bubai, choosing instead a win-win cooperation.
But now it seed their ambition was greater.
By intentionally instigating this battle, they aid to exploit Ren Woxing and others to severely injure or even kill Dongfang Bubai.
Then acquire the complete Sunflower Treasure Book and establish Wu Lei firmly in control of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
With Yang Wei disguised as Yang Lianting, plus a Wu Lei who had mastered the complete Sunflower Treasure Book, and the support of Divine Sect Elders like Bao Dachu, whom they had won over,
the family’s plan to control the entire Sun and Moon Divine Sect and obtain the complete Sunflower Treasure Book was nearly perfect.
"But alas, their plan has been sowhat thwarted by ; the family clearly wanted to seize the resources and treasures from the vault, but I managed to get there first, and even Wu Lei was killed by ."
"The family really didn’t need to be so hasty; as long as they stuck to the plan, took down Dongfang Bubai, and controlled the Divine Sect, everything in the vault would still be theirs, with no chance of escape.
But since Wu Lei previously discovered and saw as an unknown factor, they changed their plan to hit the vault first, only to end up dead by my hand. It’s their fate to have as their doom."
Jiang Dali squinted his eyes as he thought about this.
From the current situation, it seed that Dongfang Bubai was more likely poisoned than wounded in battle.
Just then, down below, the conflict escalated once again as talks failed, and fighting resud.
Even though Dongfang Bubai seed to be cunningly poisoned in a conspiracy, she managed to spitefully strike back at Bao Dachu, causing him severe injury in an instant.
But at that mont, Yang Wei, who was retreating in a flurry, suddenly roared out,
"Yang Xu Yan, won’t you make your move!?"
"Yang Xu Yan?"
Jiang Dali’s gaze flashed, as a sword light suddenly surged on the battlefield below, silent and stealthy.
In a blink, that deadly sword light appeared behind Dongfang Bubai.
A sudden treacherous attack, made with lethal speed, clearly intended to be a one-hit kill.
Shadow Swordsman—Yang Xu Yan.
Truly, when he struck, it was startlingly impressive.
However, at the nearly unavoidable mont, Dongfang Bubai’s figure suddenly whooshed aside like a raging wind, while her hand flicked out three needles that chid as they struck the incoming blade.
Almost simultaneously, Yang Xu Yan instantly adapted, his blade swirling in pursuit and slicing around Dongfang Bubai, spurting out trails of silver light.
Dongfang Bubai’s face showed shock and rage, and although she could defend herself, both her movent speed and reaction were significantly slower than before. Her whole body was weak and in disarray, looking quite distressed under the attack of the Shadow Swordsman.
"The Zuo ng Family had even solicited an expert from the Heavenly Demon Sect like Yang Xu Yan to make a move. Could it be following Evil King Shi Zhixuan’s wishes? Does the Heavenly Demon Sect intend to strike at the Sun and Moon Divine Sect?"
Jiang Dali frowned deeply.
In terms of strength, Yang Xu Yan certainly couldn’t match Ling Hu Chong, who mastered Dugu Nine Swords and Yijinjing.
Yet at this mont, he could push Dongfang Bubai into disarray.
It was evident just how dire Dongfang Bubai’s condition was.
Such a weakened Dongfang Bubai, if confronted by a peak-condition Ling Hu Chong, riddled with flaws, might not endure a few strikes before being defeated.
Suddenly, Jiang Dali felt a disturbance on his interface.
He imdiately checked.
"You have triggered a temporary mission ’Choice’
Mission details: You have witnessed Dongfang Bubai fighting a great battle and now suspect she has been sched against and poisoned. Dongfang Bubai is facing unprecedented danger and difficulty; you can make the following two choices.
1: Join forces to kill Dongfang Bubai; (Outco unknown)
2: Help Dongfang Bubai defeat the incoming enemies; (Outco unknown)
3: Rescue Dongfang Bubai. (Outco unknown)
Mission requirents: Make a choice.
Mission reward: Unknown."
"This... all the rewards are unknown, so what if I rescue Dongfang Bubai and she gives a full-body acupuncture service?"
Seeing such a mission, Jiang Dali imdiately thought of refusing and turning his eagle back.
But to simply let Dongfang Bubai die here made him feel a great sense of loss.
Wasn’t that too cheap for the Zuo ng Family?
If he could save Dongfang Bubai, perhaps he might even gain Dongfang Bubai’s friendship.
