Li Xiaoyao makes a throat-slitting gesture, signifying a decapitation operation.
However, no one paid him any attention, and the Drunken Sword Immortal stared at him as if he were an idiot.
"Brother Xiaoyao, things have become complicated because we can't find Baiyue..."
Zhao Ling'er whispered a reminder.
Li Xiaoyao belatedly realized what was happening, and scratched his head with a dry laugh.
"What an idiot! If you don't understand, don't interrupt. Can't you let someone else explain?"
Lin Yueru glared at Li Xiaoyao with a look of exasperation.
"None of your business, you wicked woman! I told you not to come, your constant chatter is so annoying!"
Li Xiaoyao retorted without holding back.
"This is not the time to argue, you two need to be more sensible!"
Xu Changqing kept a stern face and put on the imposing presence of the senior disciple. In the past, when they were not disciples of the Shu Mountain Sect, he could only turn a blind eye to their behavior. But now that the two of them were about to officially join the sect, he could not ignore it.
Li Xiaoyao obediently shut his mouth, not daring to utter any rebuttal. He now saw Xu Changqing as if he were a mouse seeing a cat.
Regardless of the fact that he will soon be her senior brother, what's even more terrifying is that the two are of different generations. It's already a blessing that he didn't call her "Grandpa" along with Ling'er.
After the two shut up, Shi Gonghu took over the conversation, "The princess is right. The most troublesome problem now is that we can't find Baiyue's whereabouts. Baiyue disappeared after going to Shushan."
The Drunken Sword Immortal continued, "He is very likely still with the Evil Sword Immortal, and we don't know what they are plotting."
Inside the room, everyone started discussing the whereabouts of the moon worship ceremony.
Chu Yang found it noisy and quietly left the room when no one was paying attention. It was already late and the bright moon was high in the sky, so he sat on the stone bench outside, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for everyone to come to a conclusion.
In fact, Chu Yang himself preferred to use force to suppress the common people who had been misled by the Moon Worship Cult, as the saying goes, a short pain is worse than a long one.
Without the Moon Worship Cult, Moon Worshiper alone cannot accomplish much.
Unfortunately, given Zhao Ling'er's personality, it is absolutely impossible for her to resolve the predicament of the Nanzhao Kingdom in this way.
Where did Baiyue go?
Recalling all the plot points of the Legend of Sword and Fairy, Bai Yue had no room to maneuver anymore. The Five Elemental Pearls had been taken away by Chong Lou, so even if he wanted to break the seal on the Water Demon Beast, he had no way to do so.
"No, we should think about it from a different perspective."
"Without the Five Elemental Pearls, what methods could Bai Yue use to break the seal?"
"He only had the Evil Sword Immortal by his side..."
"Evil thoughts?"
“Aggression…”
"One Hundred Thousand Mountains!"
Chu Yang suddenly stood up. He remembered that Bai Yue was from the Black Miao tribe and must have heard that legend. At this moment, he had no chance of turning the tide. He would most likely go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains to try to break the seal on the Beast God.
Baiyue's goal from the beginning has been to destroy the world. As long as he can achieve this goal, the process and means are not important to him.
Using the Water Demon Beast to destroy the world and using the Beast God to destroy the world have the same effect!
Thinking about this, Chu Yang became even more convinced that Bai Yue had gone deep into the Ten Thousand Mountains, so he quickly walked into the room and told everyone his guess.
Of everyone present, only Zixuan and Mingyuanqing knew this legend, which is why their expressions were the most unpleasant.
The Drunken Sword Immortal said, "If the Beast God is really as terrifying as you say, then he is even more difficult to deal with than the Evil Sword Immortal. We must stop this from happening."
Ming Yuanqing shook his head and said, "You don't understand the situation in the Ten Thousand Mountains at all. It's like two completely different worlds from the outside world. Don't think that you can come and go freely just because you have high cultivation. High cultivation is useless there!"
"A single, unfamiliar Gu worm could potentially poison a master like the leader of the Shu Mountain Sect!"
"In addition, the complexity of the terrain and environment is unimaginable, and there are barbarians and monsters that may launch surprise attacks at any time. The Hundred Thousand Mountains can be described as hell on earth."
Seeing how serious she was, the Drunken Sword Immortal stopped insisting and frowned, saying, "If they really enter the Ten Thousand Mountains, and we don't chase after them, then we can't do anything right now."
Chu Yang turned to Zhao Ling'er and said, "If the chaotic situation in Nanzhao Kingdom cannot be dealt with as soon as possible, the situation will only worsen if the Beast God is really born. As a princess, Miss Zhao, you must make a decision."
Zhao Ling'er gritted her teeth, her expression becoming extremely conflicted.
"Think it over carefully yourself."
Chu Yang left the room, and the others also left one after another, intending to give Zhao Ling'er space to think alone. In the end, only Li Xiaoyao stayed to keep her company.
The immense pressure caused Zhao Ling'er to cry, while Li Xiaoyao held her tightly. The two leaned on each other, becoming each other's strongest support in the world.
The night passed.
Zhao Ling'er decided that she could not harm the people of Nanzhao, which would mean that her side would be in a very disadvantageous situation.
But everyone can understand her.
Chu Yang nodded and said, "In that case, let's first eliminate the Moon Worshippers and regain control of the Nanzhao army."
Liu Jinyuan suddenly said, "As for the army, why don't I, Elder Shi, and the Hero Senior handle it?"
Chu Yang patted him on the shoulder, "Since you're confident, then go for it. Just be careful."
So, apart from Liu Jinyuan and Shi Gonghu, everyone else went to the location of the Moon Worship Sect.
Chu Yang then went alone to the place where the Water Demon Beast was sealed.
Although Baiyue is very likely to have gone to the Ten Thousand Mountains, we still have to be wary of the Water Demon Beast.
Compared to the seal of the Beast God, the seal of the Water Demon Beast is easier to break. Who knows what's hidden in the Hundred Thousand Mountains? What if Bai Yue accidentally finds something that can break the seal of the Water Demon Beast?
Chu Yang felt a vague unease.
The lake where the Witch Queen sealed the Water Demon Beast was extremely famous in the area, and Chu Yang found out its location after a little inquiry.
When Chu Yang arrived, he found the entire journey to be very quiet, even silent, as if the entire space had been muted.
The animals seemed to sense the danger and left the area ahead of time. The more they did this, the more certain Chu Yang became that Bai Yue was nearby.
The stone statue of the witch queen gradually came into view.
At the same time, another figure came into view, smiling at Chu Yang.
Worshiping the moon.
"Did I guess wrong?"
Chu Yang muttered something to himself as he slowly walked towards Baiyue.
“Brother A-Yang, we meet again. It’s a pity we meet in this way. I originally wanted you to join the Moon Worship Cult to realize your great ideals.”
Bai Yue looked very disappointed, but her eyes were very sincere.
“There are too many scientists I’ve worked with, you’re not quite on the list. I gave you a chance, but you didn’t believe in the feelings between Tang Yu and Anu.”
Chu Yang entered the state of Origin Martial True Body and rushed straight towards Bai Yue.
Bai Yue smiled slightly, flicking a blood orb the size of a marble from her fingertip into the lake. A few breaths later, the lake surged with wind and clouds, waves crashing high. (End of Chapter)
Chapter 157 The Death of Bai Yue
157.
That blood bead, whatever it was, actually broke the witch queen's seal, and the witch queen's stone statue on the lake began to collapse.
"Young Brother A-Yang must be very curious about what I just threw into the lake?"
A smug glint flashed in Bai Yue's eyes, as if he were showing off his wisdom to Chu Yang.
"That was the blood power of the five elements that I gathered by sacrificing the people of five tribes in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Those five tribes were born with the ability to control the power of the five elements."
Bai Yue remained expressionless, as if he were talking about something trivial.
Chu Yang's face darkened. "You just said people? People of the Black Witch Clan?"
Bai Yue looked at Chu Yang in surprise, "Oh? Brother A Yang, you actually know about the Black Witch Clan?"
Chu Yang did not answer. Looking at him, Bai Yue had gone mad. His blood sacrifice of five tribes was utterly depraved!
The lake was surging with waves, as if a ferocious beast was about to appear.
"Don't be angry. Those people died for my ideals, and their deaths were very worthwhile. I know that I will die today too, but it doesn't matter. My ideals have already been inherited."
Bai Yue's mutterings to himself gave Chu Yang a bad feeling.
What does "inheritor" mean?
He knew he was going to die, so why did he return to the Nanzhao Kingdom?
Just to awaken the Water Demon Beast?
Bai Yue's actions are shrouded in mystery, making it impossible to guess his intentions. Moreover, he returned alone, and the whereabouts of the Evil Sword Immortal are unknown.
At this moment, Chu Yang could only focus on dealing with Bai Yue and the Water Demon Beast, regardless of what schemes Bai Yue might have.
Rumble!
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, a bolt of lightning struck, the sea level suddenly rose, and a huge monster leaped out of the water. It was neither snake nor serpentine, and had eight heads, the middle one of which had a human face. It was extremely sinister.
The Water Demon Beast is one of the five ancient elemental demon beasts sealed by Nuwa in the primordial era. It possesses the ability to summon floods and live upon encountering water. Because it is extremely difficult to kill, it could only be sealed by the Nuwa clan.
