How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 274: Sword Beheads Xiaoyao Tower

Feng Ji’s eyes were wide open.

Lin Xiaosu looked into those eyes and smiled...

Feng Ji let out a light breath, "The sect surrounds it on that side, and someone kills him on this side. A brilliant scheme and clever move, but I think the most ingenious part should still be me, right?"

"Senior Sister Huida!"

"Xiaoyao Palace has always been domineering. Anyone who dares to touch its external forces will surely bring strong suppression from Xiaoyao Palace. And if I, the Demon-faced Witch, make a move personally, the people who come to suppress it will be quite particular. An elder level might not suffice; the Sect Master must come in person. This is the true wonder of your brilliant move, right?"

"Senior Sister Huida!" Lin Xiaosu smiled.

Feng Ji sighed deeply, "May I ask, this pawn that you’ve manipulated repeatedly, turned dizzy on your chessboard, how is it supposed to be wise?"

"Senior Sister, to be able to wholeheartedly associate with me, to walk side by side in such a difficult situation, to see through appearances to the essence, to ignore the current details and face the future sky, isn’t that wisdom? This is great wisdom!"

Feng Ji lightly shook her head, "I only hear one thing from you... you are very capable, you have a bright future, and you boast grandly while using me as a foil. Truly, I’m impressed! I am a bit worried, seriously..."

"What?"

Feng Ji said, "I will eventually have to walk outside. If everyone outside is like you, I’m afraid. I’m worried that once I step into the outside world, I will be sold, and surely I will be the one counting money for them..."

These words carried a bit of mockery and self-deprecation, but also some genuine thoughts.

Feng Ji was indeed shocked by Lin Xiaosu’s successive clever schemes.

The matter she and Lu Rusi were worried about had long been thought of by Lin Xiaosu, and he already had a solution to break the situation.

This solution was tailor-made.

How to create it?

Feng Ji herself was the biggest highlight.

Feng Ji had just killed the Ninth Elder of Xiaoyao Palace yesterday.

The Ninth Elder of Xiaoyao Palace was a high-level member. Anyone who dared to kill him warranted the Sect Master to come personally.

Currently, Xiaoyao Palace was searching all over Kun Cang but had not found the whereabouts of the Demon-faced Witch.

As long as the Demon-faced Witch appeared in Chishui City, how could Dongfang Lie, who was nearby, not come out?

And it must be him!

It couldn’t be anyone else!

Why?

Because anyone else would be too risky! Feng Ji can kill the Ninth Elder with one sword, who can guarantee she won’t kill other elders? When she is so close, what reason is there for other elders to take the risk?

The comprehensive conclusion was that as long as Feng Ji wore the mask and attacked Xiaoyao Tower, Dongfang Lie, even if he was amidst a romantic moment, would immediately withdraw and come out of the sect...

All the considerations and weighings combined to form a rope. This rope and the Array formed a perfect match, making up for the possible two percent chance of an accident within the Array, making it inevitable for Dongfang Lie to come out of the sect!

This is the strategy!

This is the scheme of manipulating people and minds, a no-leak strategy...

Noon was approaching.

In Chishui City, the ancient style continued its millennia of tranquility.

In the taverns and singing houses, gentle songs and dances conveyed a serene grace.

On top of Rousi Courtyard, Lu Rusi sat in the pavilion, raising the teacup to her lips and taking a light sip, unable to tell if it was hot or cold.

Lin Xiaosu sat opposite her, eyes closed while resting, his figure shielded by the screen behind him, invisible to anyone in the city.

From here, one could see a side of Xiaoyao Peak.

Looking from this side, Xiaoyao Peak was the same as usual.

The peak was filled with myriad phenomena, akin to the grandeur of the Immortal family.

Below the peak, roosters crowed, and dogs barked, portraying a rustic scene.

There were fishermen in the river.

Woodcutters at the foot of the mountain.

Everyone was in place...

"Half a quarter-hour left!" Lu Rusi’s soft voice gently wafted over like a strand of silk, entering Lin Xiaosu’s ear.

"Don’t be nervous!" Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly.

"No matter how things turn out, I must thank you for your kindness," Lu Rusi said softly.

"No need!" Lin Xiaosu replied, "Our deal with Li Palace is mutually beneficial. What we gain is merely a win-win situation!"

"Even if it’s a win-win in your blueprint, people in Li Palace should remember that for a century before your arrival, no one had given Li Palace any hope of winning..."

Her voice was soft and gentle...

Her voice seemed to have traveled through the Chishui River’s many twists and turns...

Lin Xiaosu gently placed his teacup on the table, "It’s beginning!"

Lu Rusi’s gaze suddenly lifted!

She saw a faint light!

Just a faint light...

However, in Lin Xiaosu’s eyes, it was entirely different.

He possessed the Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye and could see the array patterns.

In his eyes, thirty-six array patterns simultaneously surged into the sky, forming a densely packed array grid above Xiaoyao Peak.

It worked!

The biggest stone in his heart finally landed!

Yes, everyone had a heavy stone in their hearts.

Including Lin Xiaosu.

It was his first time setting up an array in his life!

Although the "Circulation Array" recorded this array, and he had verified its feasibility many times with the array path theory from the "Circulation Array," theory was ultimately just theory. Whether it would succeed depended on the result.

Now, the result was out!

It worked!

"Senior Sister!" Lin Xiaosu stood up.

With a swish, a figure emerged from the guest room and appeared before Lin Xiaosu in one step.

At this moment, the mask on Feng Ji’s face was so bewitching and eerie.

The person who all of Kun Cang was speculating about and trending searches for, the Demon-faced Witch, made her official appearance!

"Did it work?" Feng Ji’s voice was also filled with excitement.

"It worked!" As soon as Lin Xiaosu’s two words fell, Lu Rusi stood up, her palm full of cold sweat.

"Destroy Xiaoyao Tower?"

"Go!"

With a swish, Feng Ji stepped out, tiptoed, and soared into the sky!

With a whoosh, Lin Xiaosu also tiptoed and soared away...

Lu Rusi followed along!

Towards noon, Xiaoyao Tower was bustling.

Because Xiaoyao Tower was the tripartite sect building.

What is tripartite?

A restaurant, brothel, and commercial building.

It was the liaison for Xiaoyao Palace and brought in an endless stream of wealth.

In any era, food, entertainment, and usage were the main sources of wealth.

So, Xiaoyao Tower encompassed all three.

The elder overseeing this tower was named Qiu Xinsui. He originally had a chance to break into the Observing Heaven realm, but because of business and miscellaneous affairs, he ended up being the most senior Observing Earth in Xiaoyao Palace.

Worldly matters involve gains and losses.

He lost the path to Observing Heaven but gained endless worldly pleasures.

Sitting in Xiaoyao Tower, he enjoyed the best food and women in the world. Any girl in Chishui City that he fancied would always find a way to be acquired.

If they loved money, he’d throw money at them.

If they didn’t love money, he’d threaten their family.

If they had no family and didn’t love money, wasn’t there still the sack? Send a person in the dead of night, cover them with a sack, drag them back and toss them on the bed, and get it done. There was no one he couldn’t get.

Last night’s girl, for example, thrashed around when taken out of the sack but lost all spirit after the act, left with nothing but tears. Dumping her in the brothel would yield another source of income...

The world was full of indulgent matters. If anything did give him a headache, it would be the troublesome task personally assigned by the Great Elder: uncovering the roots of the Demon-faced Witch.

Kun Cang was vast, Jianghu was extensive, how could he find such a top expert?

He could only resort to deploying spies and waiting for the Demon-faced Witch’s next move.

As he contemplated which line the spies should prioritize...

A sudden, sharp scream emerged from outside.

It seemed like a crowing rooster’s throat had been slit...

Qiu Xinsui suddenly lifted his head. frёewebηovel.cѳm

He was at the peak of Observing Earth.

His Jianghu experience was exceedingly rich.

Swish!

The wooden wall outside burst into countless pieces!

Qiu Xinsui saw through the dusty chaos a figure...

Black robes!

Demon-faced!

"Demon-faced Witch!" A figure leaped from the left, it was Qiu Xinsui’s son, Qiu Gongcheng...

He swung down fiercely with a saber!

Directly targeting the Demon-faced Witch.

The Demon-faced Witch seemed to disregard him, walking casually.

Just as the saber was about to strike her, her sword flashed, and Qiu Gongcheng’s head flew off!

The entire Xiaoyao Tower exploded...

Cold sweat broke out on Qiu Xinsui’s back.

He raised his hand, a jade pendant appeared in his palm...

He crushed the jade pendant, and a hazy mist transformed into a crane, shooting from the Xiaoyao Tower rooftop straight to Xiaoyao Peak!

That was all he had time to do.

In the next moment, a matchless sword light swept across the roof, slicing off Xiaoyao Tower’s fifth floor!

Qiu Xinsui’s eyes widened in disbelief.

A bloodline appeared at the center of his brows and slowly expanded.

Bang!

Qiu Xinsui split in two!

Atop Xiaoyao Peak, countless people simultaneously looked up...

Above their heads, a crane’s light and shadow appeared in the void...

"Urgent message from Xiaoyao Tower, what’s happening?" An elder stepped out of a room.

"Reporting to the Great Elder!" Came the response from the high tower in the northwest corner, "Xiaoyao Tower has been flattened with a single sword strike, it’s the Demon-faced Witch! It’s her!"

The words "Demon-faced Witch" stirred countless ripples below.

The Great Elder leapt forward, with a few strides landing atop the northwestern high tower, his hawk-like eyes piercing through ten miles of void, firmly locking onto Xiaoyao Tower.

On the roof of Xiaoyao Tower, flattened with a sword strike.

A woman atop the roof, her gaze lifted, fixing on Xiaoyao Peak.

Her face adorned with an extremely bewitching mask...

"Such audacity, to actually dare come!" The Great Elder shouted angrily, "Go!"

With a swish, he soared through the air.

With a whoosh, four to five figures followed, all top elders.

Observing Heaven realm!

Five or six top experts moved at once...

However, just when they were about to step out of Xiaoyao Peak, a sudden boom erupted.

They seemed to hit an invisible barrier.

Six Observing Heaven experts were simultaneously repelled, heavily crashing to the ground, their True Qi in a mess, dazed...

"Array!" The Fifth Elder shouted, his voice filled with disbelief.

The other elders’ expressions changed...

An array!

Someone dared to use an array to block Xiaoyao Palace?

Even these top elders couldn’t break through!

The Great Elder’s face darkened, his mustache trembling, "Old Five, confirm it’s an array?"

"Absolutely confirmed!"

"Such a despicable thief, to use an array to block Xiaoyao Peak and then ruthlessly kill our disciples in the city..." The Second Elder’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Report immediately to the Palace Master!" The Fifth Elder leaped up.

"No need, the Palace Master already..."

Boom!

Atop Xiaoyao Peak, a wooden hut suddenly exploded.

A figure stood on the solitary peak’s summit.

The peak was a thousand yards high, and this person looked like a blade of grass, but when he raised his gaze, even the clouds beneath his feet did not seem to move, because he was Dongfang Lie.

A giant of the Enlightenment Realm!

"Using an array to block Xiaoyao Peak and slaughter in the outer regions, Demon-faced Witch... courting death!"
