Chapter 808: 717 Different Clan’s Scheme (No more today)

Five Lights Realm, Five Lights Mountain Range.

A large estate where Mo Xin and seven Soul Transformation Cultivators sat in a Green Stone Pavilion, discussing something.

"We organized twenty-five Soul Transformation Cultivators to go to the Ziguang Realm, dividing them into five teams to search. We scoured the entire Ziguang Realm and found no other Soul Transformation Cultivators, so we can be sure that they have already left the Ziguang Realm,"

a plump woman in a gold dress said.

Wu Jiao, Early Stage Soul Transformation.

"That means the other party either possesses a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure capable of breaking through realms, or a high-rank treasure of concealment,"

Mo Xin analyzed, Fairy Yulian is a Unity Cultivator, so it’s not strange for her clone to have a potent treasure.

"This complicates our attempt to capture the perpetrator, and we are still unable to confirm the perpetrator’s identity."

Wu Jiao looked troubled, not knowing the identity of the perpetrator was like finding a needle in a haystack.

"With the strength of our Five Lights Clan, ordinary Soul Transformation Cultivators wouldn’t dare to provoke us. If it’s her, with the motive and capability, Ziguang Realm’s Soul Transformation Cultivators can be counted on one hand. After the incident, we have already used the Heart Inquiry Disc to probe them, and they did not lie."

A slim woman in a white dress analyzed.

"Mo Xue, you make some good points. However, we are in the open, and the other party is hidden. If I were her, I definitely wouldn’t attack members of the Five Lights Clan outright as it would only expose my presence. It would be best to find a safe place to hide and cultivate, reaching the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation before ascending to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot,"

Mo Xin analyzed.

"Taoist Friend Mo, who is the ’her’ you’re all talking about?"

Wu Jiao asked curiously.

"You don’t need to know. This is the mandate from above; what needs to be told to you will naturally be communicated. Mobilize our subordinate clans, distribute the Seven-Orifice Disk to them, and extend our search perimeter. Remember, it must be teams of five Soul Transformation Cultivators, or three can manage. Soul Transformation Cultivators cannot act alone,"

Mo Xin said sternly.

They hadn’t told their kin in the Lower Realm the truth, mainly because they were worried about information leaks that might be exploited by different clans.

"Understood, I will get right on it. This is perfect. By outwardly claiming to pursue the murderer of our kin, we can openly deploy people to other realms for investigations. I refuse to believe she can quickly advance to the Middle Soul Transformation Stage."

Mo Xue responded gravely.

Wu Jiao retrieved a golden Divination Disk that shimmered as she input a spell, her expression drastically changing.

"Trouble has arisen. The Yaksha Clan has suddenly launched an attack, striking at the realms we control, and five of our kin in the Soul Transformation Stage have fallen,"

Wu Jiao said with a frown.

"What? The Yaksha Clan has acted against us? What is going on? Have we provoked the Yaksha Clan recently?"

Mo Xin pondered.

The territories of the Yaksha Clan and the Five Lights Clan were separated by several realms, with only minor conflicts between them.

"It’s unclear. They suddenly attacked us without any warning. We had some minor conflicts with the Yaksha Clan, but those were centuries ago. The Yaksha Clan has gathered more than a dozen different clans to lead an attack on five realms we control, and our losses are not small,"

Wu Jiao reported accurately.

Mo Xin furrowed his brows, finding the situation highly peculiar. First, someone attacked the Five Lights Sect Cultivators in the Ziguang Realm, and then the Yaksha Clan initiated hostilities, aggressively targeting the realms controlled by the Five Lights Clan.

"Could the unknown force that attacked the Ziguang Realm be Yaksha Clan Cultivators?"

Mo Xue speculated.

"What would be their motive?"

Mo Xin questioned. There was no reason for the Yaksha Clan to launch an attack on the Five Lights Clan unless they knew about the true purpose of Mo Xin and his four companions in the Lower Realm.

That didn’t make sense either. If the Yaksha Clan Cultivators knew the truth, shouldn’t they be secretly searching for Fairy Yulian’s clone? There was no reason for them to openly attack the Five Lights Clan.

"Could it be that she set us up to be framed and trapped by the Five Lights Clan?"

Mo Xue proposed a bold guess.

With Fairy Yulian’s clone instigating a major battle between the Yaksha Clan and the Five Lights Clan, she could rest easy.

"Would Yaksha Clan Cultivators be so easily provoked by her? The fact that the Yaksha Clan could rally over a dozen clans to confront our Five Lights Clan suggests significant loss to the Yaksha Clan. It can’t be that Fairy Yulian killed Yaksha Clan’s Soul Transformation Cultivators and made the Yaksha Clan blame us!"

Mo Xin expressed his confusion.

He couldn’t understand why the Yaksha Clan would launch an attack on the Five Lights Clan unless the Yaksha Clan had suffered significant losses.

How could the higher-ups of the Yaksha Clan be so sure that it was the Five Lights Sect Cultivators who had caused those losses? It didn’t make sense!

They could never have imagined that the Yaksha clansmen sent to the Lower Realm were being controlled by a Human Clan Soul Transformation Cultivator. Thus, the higher-ups of the Yaksha Clan naturally wouldn’t question Zhu Yue’s words.

"First, send reinforcements to the front line and clarify with the high-rank officials of the Yaksha Clan that there must be a misunderstanding, and it’s likely someone is deliberately provoking a battle between our two clans," Mo Xin said firmly.

He wasn’t afraid of the Yaksha Clan, but if they couldn’t calm the great war, they wouldn’t be able to search for Fairy Yulian’s incarnate mind in peace.

"Yes, Taoist Friend Mo."

Wu Jiao immediately agreed, inputting a spell into the Golden Divination Disk, gesticulating for a while.

...

Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, Yaksha Clan.

In a serene manor, Tao Rong was reporting to Zhu Shan.

"What? Were the Cultivation Resources hidden by Master Blood Shedding in the Lower Realm intercepted by the Five Lights Clan?" Zhu Shan frowned.

"Zhu Yue barely escaped with his life, and most of his treasures were seized by the Five Lights Sect Cultivators, including a Ten Thousand Spirits Command, a seventh-tier Absorbing Thunder Pearl, and a seventh-tier Leading Thunder Pearl. This information was reported through the Messaging Array by Zhu Yue; there’s no mistake," Tao Rong said solemnly.

The clansmen were sent to the Lower Realm with a large amount of array-setting materials and set up a special Messaging Array, allowing those in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot to communicate with members in the Yaksha Realm.

Not long ago, Zhu Yue activated the Messaging Array to report the situation, claiming that the Five Lights Sect Cultivators took most of the treasures, including the Ten Thousand Spirits Command, seventh-tier Absorbing Thunder Pearl, and seventh-tier Leading Thunder Pearl.

"What? The Ten Thousand Spirits Command?" Zhu Shan exclaimed.

Tao Rong nodded and said, "Absolutely certain, Master Blood Shedding indeed entered the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven. It’s surprising that not only did he have a Ten Thousand Spirits Command on him, but he also hid one in the Lower Realm along with the seventh-tier Absorbing Thunder Pearl and Leading Thunder Pearl."

The seventh-tier Absorbing Thunder Pearl and Leading Thunder Pearl alone warranted sending Soul Transformation Cultivators to the Lower Realm again.

"Send Soul Transformation Cultivators to the Lower Realm immediately, at any cost, to retrieve the Ten Thousand Spirits Command," Zhu Shan commanded.

"I’ve already sent twenty mid-stage Soul Transformation Cultivators to the Lower Realm, equipped with sixth-tier talismans. Zhu Yue has already rushed to the front line to command the other clansmen in attacking the territory controlled by the Five Lights Clan, hoping to retrieve the Ten Thousand Spirits Command," Tao Rong said.

Zhu Yang was the strongest; it made sense for him to guard the most precious item. Upon his death, his possessions naturally fell into the hands of the Five Lights Sect Cultivators.

For Zhu Yue to lead the team to the front line to make amends was also proper.

"But speaking of which, since Zhu Yang and the others obtained a middle-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, how did they still come to harm?" Zhu Shan questioned.

"One of the Five Lights Sect Cultivators possesses a fifth-tier early-stage Soul-devouring Clam and masters Divine Soul Attacks. It was a sneak attack, which is why Zhu Yang and the others suffered heavily. Zhu Yue also killed several Soul Transformation Cultivators. She has already rushed to the front line to redeem her faults," Tao Rong explained.

Zhu Shan suddenly understood, saying, "That explains it. We can forego the seventh-tier Absorbing Thunder Pearl and Leading Thunder Pearl, but we must acquire the Ten Thousand Spirits Command. How did the Five Lights Sect Cultivators know the return route of Zhu Yang and the others? Did they know the purpose of their descent to the Lower Realm?"

"Zhu Yue analyzed that there must be a mole among our people in the Lower Realm, tipping off the Five Lights Clan; otherwise, it doesn’t make sense," Tao Rong explained.

If Zhu Yue were in front of Tao Rong, Tao Rong could detect Zhu Yue’s abnormalities. However, since Zhu Yue used the Messaging Array to communicate, Tao Rong had no idea that Zhu Yue was being controlled.

"Hmph, the Five Lights Clan has only risen for so many years? They dare to oppose us; they know not what’s good for them. We must teach them a lesson," Zhu Shan said murderously.
