Chapter 504: The Skies Are Vast Enough for the Birds to Soar Through (II)

“There’s never been a Human King who won through playing dead,” Ying Hongyue laughed with a sarcastic bent to his voice. “That has ever been the case since the ancient times. Someone like Li Hao is hard to handle as, instead of dying at the last possible moment, he grows stronger in return. They’ll understand from the information they have, they can determine themselves what they want to do next!”

Indigo Moon nodded and couldn’t help but ask, “Then why doesn’t leader...” Personally take action and capture Li Hao? As dangerous as Silver Moon was, the leader could manage those Silver Moon powerhouses, couldn’t he? The opportunity was right in front of them now that Hou Xiaochen was gone!

“We... should not go to Silver Moon if we can help it!” Ying Hongyue responded without looking back. “The province has begun to awaken. When I visited, Hou Xiaochen was much weaker than me, but still killed the second generation Violet Moon. Some of Silver Moon’s existences no longer wish for me to set foot on their land and keep me away. It will be difficult to visit again!”

He vanished with another soft sigh. Indigo Moon looked down at the crowd and snorted, “Keep a watchful eye on Hou Xiaochen’s group! Although our leader has said not to move against them for now, keep them under close surveillance!”

“Understood!” The Ghostfaces below responded haphazardly and didn’t really care what the woman was saying. What was the point of her acting tough when their leader had already spoken? However, since the favored Indigo Moon was one of the few Seven Moons left, they weren’t at liberty to say anything out loud.

......

On this day, some news began to circulate as Hou Xiaochen’s group left Silver Moon. The first to receive it was the Steadfast Duke’s household.

A magnificent complex was situated in the east of the central region.

Inside a large hall.

An old man with graying hair coughed gently. As the fourth Steadfast Duke, he’d reached an advanced age. He sighed as he looked at the middle-aged men standing beneath him. “It is ever a tragedy for those with white hair to send off those with black hair. Little Feng has died in Silver Moon. There are no further spectacular talents among the younger generation of supernaturals of the family.”

As he shook his head, a middle-aged man looking very similar to Xu Feng intoned, “Father, Hou Xiaochen must have something to do with Little Feng’s death in Silver Moon. Now that he has left the province and is in the capital, it’s possible to eliminate him even if he is strong! On the Night Watcher side, Yellow Dragon probably won’t let him find his footing, so why don’t we...”

“Let’s leave Hou Xiaochen alone for now!” coughed the old man. “Light Sword should be returning soon. Is there news of her?”

“No.” The middle-aged man frowned. “I suspect she didn’t take any action this time. Otherwise, with her strength and just a simple ruin exploration, she’s fine and Little Feng is dead...”

“Big brother, let’s not be overly hasty in our grief,” cautioned a slightly younger man standing behind Xu Feng’s father. “Light Sword is very strong and we still need her help in many things...”

“It’s not your son that’s dead!” snorted Xu Feng’s father. There were many intrigues and plots against each other in a family with over two hundred years of heritage. His younger brother likely wished that he’d died with his son!

It was easy for him to persuade the rest of the family that they shouldn’t transfer their anger to Light Sword. You wouldn’t be so calm if it was your son dead. Little Feng’s death causes the ownership of the Windchaser Boots to be up in the air again. You’re probably over the moon.

“Ahem!” The old man rapped on the table to interrupt the arguing. His tone was calm and he was used to the sight in front of him. “Stop arguing about this. If Light Sword comes back... make the arrangements to kill her! Be careful, she’s strong and a wily opponent...”

Even Xu Feng’s father blinked with surprise. “I didn’t mean it that way, father.” He looked at the old man. “I know she’s very strong and still useful to the family...”

He was just grumbling and hadn’t truly thought of killing Light Sword. The swordswoman was very strong and they might have to pay an enormous price to kill her. Not to mention, she was still working for the Xus at the moment. It was awful to lose his son, but it might be even more of a headache to throw in Light Sword into the mix. He hadn’t thought that his father would really want to move against the woman, that was entirely unexpected!

“I wouldn’t seek to do so if there was any other alternative available,” sighed the old man as he looked at the brothers. “It would be best if Light Sword can join the family and always work for us, but you know that there aren’t many who can use the Windchaser Boots. I can partially compel it, but that ugly witch thinks I am too old...”

The old man shook his head with a laugh. “She was somewhat willing since Little Feng was handsome. That old witch will never do it if I am the one. I thought that it was fine to have Little Feng suffer just a little as he would gain a very powerful helper in the form of that witch. Men do not need to care about trivial details like these. When the Xus walk out of the east, we’ll naturally be able to suppress her! She’ll do whatever Little Feng commands then.

“But now that Little Feng is dead, we have no way out!” The old man rose with a heavy sigh. “I do not wish to do this, but the witch will certainly want to seize the Windchaser Boots. Just kill her! These Silver Moon martial masters are wild, intractable, and deviously hard to keep control of. We can’t win them to our side no matter how much kindness we show them.

“The female martial masters can only be kept in line through certain men. With Little Feng dead and her hopes ended, she won’t let this quietly be...”

The two brothers looked at each other with some understanding and gravity.

“Father, it’s said that these martial masters can unseal their battle strength when they reach the peak of their cultivation. Has Light Sword reached this stage?”

“Possibly.” The old man wasn’t sure. “The peak battle strength she exposed before was that of late Nova. She has not displayed any specifics and it is normal for martial masters to hold back in ordinary times. Summon a few of our generals to kill her together!”

“Understood!” The two quickly nodded without further question. It looked like their father had made up his mind to kill Light Sword. The household’s army dominated the east and their generals were exceedingly formidable. Any one of them might rival the General of Northern Pacification of the three northern provinces. Their father meant to utilize strength in numbers to mob Light Sword.

“Ah, yes.” The old man was about to leave when another thought struck him. “Send some men to Silver Moon and test Li Hao’s mettle after we’re done with Light Sword. There’s news from Red Moon that Li Hao might be behind Little Feng’s death. He might also wield the divine sword of the Lis!”

Xu Feng was already dead, so there was no need to expend the effort of sending people to Silver Moon to investigate Li Hao. But if it involved the divine sword of the Lis... that was different.

Regular people were hard pressed to understand just how incredible the treasures of the eight guardian clans were. But as the Xus possessed the Windchaser Boots, they knew a thing or two. The boots had belonged to the Liu family and were marvelous!

It was partially due to these boots that the Steadfast Duke had been able to render aid to the royal family when the dynasty was first established. The first generation of the duke had been a Dominator hailed as a walking god.

Dominators of present day were a far cry from Dominators back in the day. Other than Silver Moon, there were very few martial masters anywhere in the land. Dominators were mysterious personages that one could not catch sight of. Such a heavyweight had sat in residence at the Xus.

Ferocious beyond compare, that Dominator had been the key figure to the royal family securing supremacy over the land. He had been exceptionally fast and able to kill fellow Dominators due to the Windchaser Boots.

It wasn’t until several ancient tomes were discovered in recent years through more excavations that the Xus learned their boots was the family heritage of one of the eight families. They hadn’t known much about the eight families at first, but as Ying Hongyue’s scheme in Silver City was uncovered, the insignificant border city immediately became the center of attention to some.

So the eight families were located in that miserable backwater... No one would have expected that!

Before anyone could respond or set up plans, drastic changes occurred in Silver Moon. Solars died, then large sums of Novas died. Even the Xus were at a loss of how to respond. The divine sword of the Lis was ranked first among the eight family weapons. It went without saying that it must have marvelous effects.

Red Moon was sharing all this news simply because it was wary of Silver Moon’s martial world and characters like Hou Xiaochen. Everyone knew what Ying Hongyue had in mind, but who wasn’t tempted when treasure was set in front of them?

The old man said nothing else before leaving. Light Sword... What a pity! They’d finally recruited a premier Silver Moon martial master to enhance the family’s strength. Now look at the situation—he had to pray that nothing went wrong in the process of taking her down.

......

All sorts of news spread throughout various powerhouses and senior executives in a short day. It was a repeat of when Hou Xiaochen shared the effectiveness of the blood pearls and caused significant losses to Red Moon in a short period of time. It wasn’t until Red Moon killed quite a few powerhouses in warning did that stem the bleeding.

Rumors of the divine sword of the Lis spread by mouth. The premier powerhouses didn’t care about blood pearls as they knew that unless there was a very large number of these items, those weak pills wouldn’t be of much help to them.

Thus, not that many elite heavyweights had been tempted by that news, but they were very much so by the divine weapons of the eight families.
