How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 296: A High-Stakes Gamble, Kill Ren Cangmang Within 7 Days

Chapter 296: Chapter 296: A High-Stakes Gamble, Kill Ren Cangmang Within 7 Days

Ding Ruoshui said, "It’s not just a little dangerous, it’s... quite dangerous!"

Feng Ji nodded, "Faced with the actions of Chunshui Palace, he has failed. However, since he has such intentions, there will certainly be new actions targeting either Chunshui Palace or possibly our Shenghua Valley."

Ding Ruoshui said, "It’s not the thief we’re afraid of, but the thief’s plans. If possible, we should get rid of this bastard, and be done with it!"

The two women chatted back and forth, quickly becoming heated in conversation.

All because the name Dongfang Xiaoyao threw them off balance.

As they said, it’s not the thief you fear, but the thief’s plotting.

Dongfang Xiaoyao is the mastermind behind the fall of the former Li Palace.

And now it’s proven that he plans to be the mastermind behind the collapse of Chunshui Palace.

With him scheming, even if Chunshui Palace narrowly escaped today, it doesn’t mean they can rest easy.

He was able to turn several Great Elders of Chunshui Palace today, even the Holy Daughter became a pawn in his scheme. It’s hard to defend against such tactics, as human hearts are unpredictable and interests motivate people. With a hundred different people, there are a hundred different ways.

He only needs one chance to change the fate and future of a palace or a valley...

"Little Su! Now, we need your clever plan!" Ding Ruoshui said, "Think of a way to lure out Dongfang Xiaoyao!"

Lin Xiaosu gently shook his head, "No need!"

"No need?" Ding Ruoshui’s brows knitted...

Hua Miaoyi and Feng Ji’s brows also furrowed slightly. Feng Ji was not surprised, as her usual stance was to find hidden threats and eliminate them directly. Hua Miaoyi, even though she approached life calmly, also accepted Ding Ruoshui’s logic.

Dongfang Xiaoyao’s cultivation was merely in the Observing Realm (even at the pinnacle, still just the Observing Realm).

Yet, it was this Observing Realm cultivator who was the mastermind behind the direct downfall of Li Palace.

His danger level surpasses all in the Observing Realm, to the extent that even a palace master cannot ignore him.

Although Hua Miaoyi was gentle, she also thought someone like him should be dead.

However, Lin Xiaosu said "No need"!

He did not say "no way", he said "no need"!

Lin Xiaosu said, "You see the crisis, but you misunderstand the true source of danger. Dongfang Xiaoyao’s existence does pose a threat to Chunshui Palace and Shenghua Valley, but the source of danger is not him personally!"

"Who is it?"

"Ren Cangmang!"

The three women’s hearts leapt...

They understood!

Dongfang Xiaoyao truly is dangerous.

Because he orchestrated the grand play of destroying Li Palace.

Furthermore, signs show that he has just smoothly executed a second scheme targeting Chunshui Palace.

This man has the means, the resources, and past experiences, and finds pleasure along this path with great rewards.

All this culminates in his danger level.

However, the true danger does not lie within him.

It lies in the fact that behind him stands Ren Cangmang.

Without Ren Cangmang, even if he turns the high ranks of a palace against their Palace Master, and successfully implants the Absolute Heaven Poison on that Palace Master, he cannot truly eliminate them.

If he is like a fox, he must team up with a tiger to implement a complete strategy of Absolute Heaven Destruction Realm.

The danger does not lie with the fox; the true source of danger remains with the tiger!

Feng Ji’s gaze slowly lifted, "Indeed, the true source of danger is Ren Cangmang! A question... without solution!"

"No, there is a solution!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Removing Ren Cangmang not only solves this problem, but also opens up the Kun Cang situation!"

"Isn’t that nonsense?" Ding Ruoshui pouted, "If we could eliminate Ren Cangmang, an individual like Dongfang Xiaoyao naturally won’t stir up trouble, but, can Ren Cangmang be removed?"

Ren Cangmang is a standard Enlightenment Realm.

Giants of the Enlightenment Realm, are not people you can remove just because you want to.

The special configuration of Kun Cang long predestined that an Enlightenment Realm represents a mountain peak. Clearing an Enlightenment Realm means occupying a mountain peak; if it were easy, Kun Cang would not stand as eighty-plus peaks side by side.

Lin Xiaosu smiled, "Ruoshui seems not to believe! So, Sister, do you believe I can remove Ren Cangmang?"

Feng Ji’s eyes flashed, "Brother’s high spirits are contagious, and I don’t want to dampen your positivity at this moment..."

Darn!

Lin Xiaosu set down the teacup, "How about this? Let’s have a bet."

"A bet? Bet on what?" Ding Ruoshui got interested.

"Give me seven days!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Within seven days, I will get rid of Ren Cangmang. If successful... henceforth, please have Shenghua Valley and Chunshui Palace stand by my side, and together we shall change Kun Cang’s configuration!"

Feng Ji’s eyes widened.

Ding Ruoshui’s eyes widened.

Even Hua Miaoyi’s eyes widened.

"Master, I dare not take this bet. How about you express something?" Feng Ji stared at Hua Miaoyi.

Hua Miaoyi’s pair of eyes lingered on Lin Xiaosu’s face three times, and her gaze slowly shifted to the sky, "Chushui, how about coming over?"

Her voice, like a spring breeze crossing the hills, reached the Chushui Main Hall.

Li Chushui ascended in one step, arriving at Lan Garden the next moment.

After listening to Ding Ruoshui convey Lin Xiaosu’s grand wager, Li Chushui’s eyes also widened, "Seven days? Eliminate Ren Cangmang?"

"Yes!"

Li Chushui took a deep breath, "You don’t need me and Miaoyi to risk our lives?"

"Naturally! If it requires the sect leaders to risk their lives, then the matter cannot be considered my accomplishment!" Lin Xiaosu said, "The two sect leaders only need to wait here for seven days."

Hua Miaoyi and Li Chushui exchanged glances, simultaneously taking a breath, "If Young Master Lin can accomplish this great task, the Kun Cang configuration will change, although unchanged, our alliance with you is the best option! Bet!"

The words were indirect, but the meaning was clear.

The Kun Cang configuration is currently stagnant.

All forces proceed cautiously.

All leaders are sleepless with eyes open.

No one dares to take that critical step.

If Lin Xiaosu can stir up storms with one hand, easily obliterate a sect (Ren Cangmang’s very survival essentially equals the existence of Cangmang Palace), it’s exceedingly terrifying.

If he can destroy Cangmang Palace, he can destroy other palaces.

Who dares to oppose him?

In times of major changes, choosing a stance is necessary.

Choose right, and the sect enjoys a bright future, choose wrong, and face an extinction-level crisis.

The two sect leaders, though appearing youthful, have hundreds of years of experience; usually, they don’t bind their sect with an outsider, but if Lin Xiaosu can create such a legend, he is absolutely worthy of any wager.

This is the true meaning of this bet!

Lin Xiaosu smiled, "Then it’s settled?"

"Settled!" The two sect leaders responded in unison.

"Good! I’m off!" Lin Xiaosu stood up, flashed to the wall of Lan Garden...

"Don’t you need me..." Ding Ruoshui called out, only to stop abruptly after four words.

She wanted to follow him, but it seemed inappropriate, as she has another role as a Chunshui Palace disciple; if she assisted him, it wouldn’t align with their wager.

Lin Xiaosu gently waved his hand, "Wait for my return!"

Leaping up, directly descending into the depths.

Clouds rolled, fog enveloped, his silhouette disappeared without a trace.
