ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 8 - Season 23 Episode 19

After Sword Immortal Yue Hua left Mo Qing’s cave abode, he returned home. Along the way, his expression was cold and the sharpness he exuded almost tore through the void!

When a few legacy disciples saw Sword Immortal Yue Hua, they did not dare to advance and merely cupped their fists before retreating far away, afraid that they would offend him.

Before long, Sword Immortal Yue Hua arrived at his cave abode where another legacy disciple, Xiao Li, had been waiting for a long time.

“Senior brother, what happened?”

Xiao Li went forward and asked when he saw something amiss with Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s expression.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua remained silent and walked straight towards the cave abode with a dark expression. The door opened on its own and Xiao Li followed hurriedly.

Before returning to the cave abode and taking a seat, an immortal servant had long prepared tea. He poured it carefully and placed it in front of the two legacy disciples before retreating with his head lowered.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua picked up the fragrant tea in front of him and drank it in one gulp. After a long silence, he said, “Junior Sister Mo Qing is going to Avici.”

Xiao Li said, “I’ve also heard about the news of Avici. This time round, many desperadoes were alarmed. Cultivators from the Pure Land of Bliss, Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and Fiend Domain are all going to make a move.”

“However, Avici is not a friendly place and is notorious. As one of the four great fairies, there’s no need for Senior Sister Mo Qing to take the risk, right?”

“I also advised her not to take the risk, but she insisted on going.”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua was a little angry. “Although she’s usually quiet and meek, her personality is not weak at all. I’m her senior brother but she doesn’t take heed to my advice at all.”

“What’s in Avici? Why does Senior Sister Mo Qing insist on heading there?”

Xiao Li asked again.

“She said that she’s looking for Yu Daozi’s Divine Ghost Immortal Fiend Painting.”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua sneered and replied.

“That’s possible. Senior Sister Mo Qing is obsessed with the Dao of painting. For the sake of the Divine Ghost Immortal Fiend Painting, she might take the risk to explore Avici.”

“Hmph!”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s expression darkened as he said coldly, “Do you really think that she’s heading to Avici for the Divine Ghost Immortal Fiend Painting?”

“Isn’t it?”

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment with a lost expression.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua said coldly, “Yang Ruoxu has just been crippled and his Essence Spirit is severely injured. Junior Sister Mo Qing must be going to Avici to look for the Saraca Fruit to heal him!”

“Ah!”

A look of realization flashed through Xiao Li’s eyes.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua clenched his fists and said coldly, “She thinks that I can’t guess the reason and is even trying to hide it!”

“Senior brother, what should we do then?”

Xiao Li asked, “Should we get Qingyun and the others to do something and kill Yang Ruoxu secretly?”

“There’s no need.”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua sneered, “The Ashoka Tree has been destroyed for so many years. Finding the Saraca Fruit in Avici is even more difficult than searching for a needle in a haystack!”

“I’ll wait here in the academy for her to return. I want to see her in despair!”

Suddenly, Sword Immortal Yue Hua laughed and said coldly, “Junior Sister Mo Qing returning empty-handed and Yang Ruoxu severely injured. The both of them will be forced to part ways through life and death. There’s no way I can miss such a good show.”

Looking at Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s smile, Xiao Li suddenly felt a chill.

Senior Brother Yue Hua’s hatred for Senior Sister Mo Qing had already exceeded his imagination!

He could not understand why Senior Brother Yue Hua would hate Senior Sister Mo Qing so much in the blink of an eye and harbor such vicious thoughts when he was so enamored with her previously.

…

In the inner sect of the academy, in a cave abode.

Fang Qingyun, Tang Peng and Yan Bingying were gathered here.

“Senior Brother Fang, I heard that Yang Ruoxu was traveling outside and was a busybody, fighting for injustice. In the end, he was severely injured and almost died outside.”

Tang Peng was a little excited. “I heard that he’s lying in his cave abode like a dead dog. He’s already crippled. Now, we don’t have to make a move.”

“That’s right. Even if Senior Brother Fang had attacked, they could only spar on the Sword Discourse Arena where life and death battles were not allowed. At most, Yang Ruoxu would be defeated and taught a lesson.”

Yan Bingying said, “However, there aren’t so many rules outside. It’s said that his Essence Spirit was severely injured and it’s already lucky that he managed to survive.”

Fang Qingyun did not say anything the entire time and merely smiled indifferently. As he listened to their discussion, a smug look flashed through his eyes.

It was only then that he laughed and suddenly said, “Do you guys really think that he survived merely through luck?”

“Huh?”

Tang Peng was stunned.

Before he could react, Fang Qingyun continued, “Do you guys really think that Yang Ruoxu’s accident was just an accident?”

Tang Peng’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at Fang Qingyun with widened eyes and whispered, “Could it be that you were the one who attacked this time round, senior brother…?”

“I didn’t do it personally. I merely planned it.”

Fang Qingyun said, “The people who attacked this time round were also top-tier experts of the major factions, Pang Yi of the Pang Clan, Prince Yuan Zuo and his Execution Guards, Heaven Immortal Gui Yuan of Flying Immortal Sect and Prince Xie Tianhong of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.”

“I merely informed them of Yang Ruoxu’s location and watched from the sidelines as they attacked.”

Pausing for a moment, Fang Qingyun laughed again. “I have to say that that battle was very exciting.”

Yan Bingying frowned slightly without saying anything.

Although she was extremely negative towards Yang Ruoxu because of Sword Immortal Yue Hua and the others, she was still resistant to inviting outsiders to deal with her fellow sect mates.

On the other hand, Tang Peng was excited. “So, you were the one plotting everything behind the scenes, senior brother! It’s no wonder that there was such a huge commotion!”

“Since Senior Brother Yue Hua requested it, I naturally had to do my best.”

Fang Qingyun smiled calmly.

Tang Peng was puzzled and asked, “Senior Brother Fang, how did Yang Ruoxu manage to return alive with so many experts attacking?”

“It was my intention.”

Fang Qingyun smiled and beat around the bush without continuing.

“Why?”

Tang Peng thought for a long time but could not figure it out and asked with a frown.

Yan Bingying said, “Perhaps Senior Brother Fang spared his life on account of our relationship as fellow sect mates.”

Fang Qingyun shook his head gently. “I allowed him to return because I wanted to deal with another person!”

“Su Zimo!”

Tang Peng snapped out of his stupor and blurted.

“That’s right.”

Fang Qingyun nodded.

“Do you have a plan ready?”

Tang Peng asked.

Although he realized that Fang Qingyun wanted to deal with Su Zimo, he could not think of a way to make use of this opportunity.

Fang Qingyun said, “Su Zimo was accepted as an in-name disciple by the Sect Master and his status is much higher than Yang Ruoxu. If a large force was mobilized in Divine Firmament Mainland to ambush him, I’m afraid the Sect Master will sense it.”

“Therefore, in order to deal with Su Zimo, it’s best if the location is as far away from Divine Firmament Immortal Domain as possible!”

“Yang Ruoxu’s Essence Spirit is severely injured and it won’t be long before Su Zimo receives the news. There are extremely few immortal herbs that can heal Essence Spirit injuries and the Saraca Fruit is one of them.”

When he heard that, Tang Peng’s eyes lit up. He continued Fang Qingyun’s words, “Recently, there’s news from the Pure Land of Bliss that a crack has appeared in Avici and there are countless treasures inside. The Saraca Fruit might be there!”

“Therefore, your goal is to make use of Yang Ruoxu’s Essence Spirit injuries to lure Su Zimo to Avici in order to get rid of him there!”

Fang Qingyun smiled without saying anything as a silent acknowledgment.

Tang Peng could not help but clap and praise, “This is an interconnected trap, killing two birds with one stone. While dealing with Yang Ruoxu, a trap is set for Su Zimo to prevent future troubles!”

“Senior brother, your plan is truly perfect and well thought out! I think your wisdom is practically comparable to the Sect Master!”
