Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 689: Chapter 689 Yin Yang Flying Moths_1

The day the tri-sect martial tournament concluded, the Moonlight Treasure Ship set sail from Sword King Sect, heading back to Moon Hua Sect.

”Senior Brother, didn’t we agree to engage with Sword King Sect? Why are we just leaving like that?”

Aboard the ship, Leng Hao couldn’t help but ask.

”The original plan was indeed to do so, but since Sword King Sect hasn’t discovered that we killed so many of their Inner Sect Disciples, there’s no need for a full-blown confrontation. After all, we are at a disadvantage on the Sword King Sect’s territory. It’s safer to return to our Sect.”

Ling Xiao explained with a smile.

”So you mean, if they had discovered us, we would have really taken action?”

Leng Hao asked again.

”Exactly, that was the plan. Who would have thought the people of Sword King Sect would be so foolish? They didn’t even realize those disciples were killed by us before we left.”

Wu Xiang joined in with an answer.

”I don’t see it that way.”

Ling Xiao shook his head and said, ”Sect Master, we better be cautious on our way back. I suspect that Chen Nanxing is up to some conspiracy behind our backs, and that’s why he’s too preoccupied to attend to other matters. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ignored not just the hundreds of Inner Sect Disciples, but also the events at Battle Beast Arena.”

”You’re right! All of you rest for a bit. I will keep a close watch on our surroundings. Once we return to Moon Hua Sect, it will be fine.”

While everyone was talking, they didn’t notice a peculiar moth flying past the vicinity of the Moonlight Treasure Ship, disappearing into the distance in a blink of an eye.

The wings of this moth were odd; one was white, and the other was black, and on its back was an eerie pattern of a Yin Yang fish.

Ling Xiao sat cross-legged, carefully contemplatig on the gains of the day.

Although he didn’t manage to fight Jian Wuji in the end, he still benefited greatly from the battle.

His understanding of Martial Skills, Mystic Arts, Martial Soul, and inheritance had all advanced further.

Of course, the most important thing was that he had witnessed Jian Wuji’s strength and heard about the terrifying Sixth Young Master of Holy Dynasty.

This only made his desire to win and to grow stronger even more resolute.

The others, like Ling Xiao, had all gained something from today’s tournament between the three sects, whether big or small.

After some time of reflection and understanding, including Tantai Lingzi, who hadn’t fought, they would all likely see significant improvement.

With broader horizons and greater knowledge, cultivation would naturally become more flexible.

...

”Sect Master, what is this?”

As Ling Xiao rested cross-legged, a True Essence Ball had already enveloped the entire Moonlight Treasure Ship.

When he noticed that a peculiar moth was continuously lurking near the Moonlight Treasure Ship, seemingly tracking the vessel, he couldn’t help but capture the moth in his hand.

The moth was tiny, only the size of a fingernail cap. Perhaps it went unnoticed, but neither Wu Xiang nor Golden Light Heavenly Lord had detected its presence.

As for Chang Yueying and Chang Yueli, even if they had noticed, it’s likely they would have remained silent.

They were probably wishing for Wu Xiang, Ling Xiao, and the rest to die on the journey.

Wu Xiang was momentarily stunned, then observed the moth in Ling Xiao’s hand, rather puzzled.

He was still young, after all, and had spent most of his time within the Sect, so he wasn’t very familiar with things from the outside world.

One might be powerful, yet their experiences remained insufficient.

”Let me see!”

Golden Light Heavenly Lord came over and said.

”This is bad!”

After examining it for a moment, Golden Light Heavenly Lord suddenly exclaimed.

”Senior, what exactly is this thing?” Ling Xiao quickly asked.

”This is a Yin Yang Flying Moth!”

Golden Light Heavenly Lord looked around warily and then explained, ”These Yin Yang Flying Moths were said to have appeared when the True Demon Empire overwhelmed the Heavenly Dragon Continent. Their master is the Moth Demon General, one of the Nine Great Demon Kings under the Yin-Yang Demon King, with terrifying strength.

The Yin Yang Flying Moths could be used for reconnaissance of the enemy’s situation or for attacking the enemy. The closer to the Moth Demon General, the more terrifying the attack power!

”I didn’t expect you to actually catch it. Your observational and judgment skills are truly astonishing.”

”Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn’t expect that after so many years, people still remember the grand name of our True Demon Empire. Rare, truly rare indeed!”

Suddenly, a huge moth appeared above the Moonlight Treasure Ship.

The moth was slightly smaller than the Moonlight Treasure Ship, but it had no problem accommodating four or five people standing on it.

At this moment, there were a total of four people on the moth. Judging from their voices and auras, they were definitely not here with good intentions, and their strength was formidable.

”Prepare for battle! It looks like we can’t avoid a bloodbath today!”

Wu Xiang shouted loudly.

Chang Yueying and Chang Yueli’s reactions were not very coordinated. Although they stood up, they didn’t seem to intend to fight.

Tantai Lingzi naturally followed her master Chang Yueying’s lead.

However, at this moment, Wu Xiang didn’t have time to worry about them. With a formidable enemy present, it was not the time for infighting. If they didn’t take action now, when the enemy attacked later, they would have no choice but to fight.

The four people on the moth were dressed in long robes of black and white, embroidered with Yin-Yang Diagrams. There was no need to ask; they were surely subordinates of the Yin-Yang Demon King.

”Are you really minions of the Yin-Yang Demon King?”

Wu Xiang asked coldly.

”Heh heh heh, why ask so many questions when you are all going to die anyway!”

The leader, whose hair was also black and white, looked extremely eerie. His voice was filled with cruelty and coldness, clearly here to claim the lives of the Moon Hua Sect people.

”Did Chen Nanxing send you?”

Ling Xiao suddenly asked.

”Being too smart is not good for you. Die!”

One of the figures in black and white robes suddenly struck out with a palm, and a thunderous boom resonated in the sky.

Boom!

Thick clouds split apart, and terrifying palm force transformed into two massive hands, which in an instant, struck towards the Moonlight Treasure Ship.

It seemed they intended to destroy the Moonlight Treasure Ship first before dealing with the people of Moon Hua Sect at leisure.

”Get lost!”

Golden Light Heavenly Lord roared, punching out with both fists. Flashes of golden light, the colossal force of his fists, met the dazzling palm strike mid-air, colliding and turning into dust.

The strength of the figure in black and white robes was indeed on par with the Golden Light Heavenly Lord.

The Moonlight Treasure Ship shook violently but, ultimately, was not hit, maintaining its integrity.

”Gold Light Divine Fist!”

Golden Light Heavenly Lord’s explosive temper could not be contained. Now that the enemy had made a move, he would not stand by idly.

His entire body turned golden, and behind him, a faint golden silhouette was vaguely visible.

”To think that Golden Light Heavenly Lord’s Martial Soul is actually a Golden Giant!”

Ling Xiao was somewhat surprised. He thought that he had the sole affinity with gold, only to find out Golden Light Heavenly Lord also had a bond with gold.

No wonder the two got along; it seemed they shared common interests.

”Kill!”

The leading figure in black and white robes jumped straight down from the moth and then pounced towards Wu Xiang.

This fellow had a venomous eye, immediately recognizing that Wu Xiang was the most capable fighter on the Moonlight Treasure Ship.

”Hmph!”

Wu Xiang responded calmly, drawing his sword from its sheath to battle the leader in the black and white robe.
