Chapter 1177 - 1177 1163 Moon Beast

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1163: Moon Beast Chapter 1177: Chapter 1163: Moon Beast The night was dark and the wind was high; in the dense forest, several people were wandering on a small hillside.

Qiandu Xiang was furious—his own brother had died; how could he not be angry?

He was nearly driven mad.

Doubts began to surface: how had this happened? They had fallen into a trap based on information from a mole. Everyone was trying to trace how their plan had been exposed.

The local bully seriously explained that since Ma Zi had encountered an effeminate man and mentioned Iron Ten Thousand Island and the Flying Dragon Ship, they later realized that Qingfeng Inn was related to Iron Ten Thousand Island and suspected it was a trap, so they didn’t act immediately.

Qiandu Xiang wanted to vent his anger, but the local bully didn’t abandon them; had it not been for the timely arrival of the local bully, it was uncertain whether he would have been able to escape, so he didn’t blame the local bully and was somewhat grateful in his heart.

Baili He exclaimed, “You noticed something was wrong, and you should have told us in time. If you had informed us, we wouldn’t have gone in.” There was an obvious tone of blame.

Despite his gratitude, he still showed blame.

Yang Zuotai called out, “We had just begun to suspect something and had no time to tell you before you all attacked Qingfeng Inn. We couldn’t have stopped you even if we wanted to; we were that close to going in ourselves.”

Baili He was at a loss for words.

“We didn’t want to harm you. If we really wanted to do so, we wouldn’t have come out at the last moment to help you break through. Now the question is, do you have a mole among you? Otherwise, how could this have happened?”

Upon hearing this, Baili He was stunned.

Ma Zi, the squat man, said, “Right, we have followed your requests from the beginning. Haven’t you wondered why you fell into someone else’s trap? Perhaps you really do have a mole among you.”

At that moment, Qiandu Xiang and Hai Jingtian were both stunned. Yes, what was going on? How had they been ensnared, and surely they had been calculated against to be known that they would come? Nangong Yao’s docking was bait.

Hai Jingtian shook his head and said, “We can’t have a mole. If we did, last time we almost wouldn’t have been able to use the people from the Thirty-Six Islands to encircle Shao Hengjiang and Nangong Yao.”

Baili He added, “If there were a mole who knew about our plan, they would have certainly warned Nangong Yao and Shao Hengjiang in advance, avoiding the encirclement by the Thirty-Six Islands.”

Yang Zuotai then said, “Could it be that there is something wrong with your spy?”

That reminded everyone. Indeed, all their plans were carried out based on information from the spy, who told them that Nangong Yao had the Sacred Spirit Stone and was going to Freedom Island to resupply.

Then they plotted to ambush him—obviously, something had gone wrong with the spy.

Baili He said, “Exactly, our actions were based on information from the spy. The plan to surround Nangong Yao was clearly anticipated by them, and their counter-ambush was proof that they knew we were targeting Nangong Yao. It couldn’t be more obvious.” As he spoke, he glanced at Qiandu Xiang.

Qiandu Xiang stiffened, suddenly becoming serious. However, his spy had never made such a mistake before, and he still had leverage. If the spy dared to do it, he would have his woman sleep with every man on Sacred Spirit Island and dismember his two sons; even in the light, the spy wouldn’t dare.

Hai Jingtian said, “Our spy has never had such a problem.”

Yang Zuotai countered, “But we have acted on your directions. You knew the Sacred Spirit Stone was in Nangong Yao’s hands, and that Nangong Yao would head to Freedom Island to resupply—all based on information from your spy. Nangong Yao and Shao Hengjiang must have known about your plan and set an ambush. They analyzed your movements and acted accordingly.”

The local bully spoke up, “Unless something happened to your spy, or at least they knew someone would relay the information to you, otherwise they wouldn’t have come up with such a clever plan.”

Hai Jingtian was dumbstruck, “Are you suggesting they discovered our spy on the ship?”

“Definitely. Either your spy was captured by them, and all this was orchestrated by them, or they knew the spy was on their ship and deliberately let the spy reveal the plan to land on Freedom Island to you—it was all a trap. But before that, they had arranged a plan to ambush you,” Yang Zuotai said.

Qiandu Xiang had an epiphany, suddenly as if awakened. But whether the spy was captured or merely suspected was hard to say.

Upon hearing this, Baili He grew very suspicious that they had been betrayed. He said, “If it really is that guy’s doing, I’ll make sure his whole family dies.”

Hai Jingtian responded, “It seems this person can no longer be trusted.”

Baili He asked, “The message he sent, do you still dare to trust it?”

Qiandu Xiang had not thought about this issue, but Yang Zuotai’s analysis was very accurate, and no flaws could be found.

“Alas, don’t think about it anymore. It’s good that we’ve escaped; at least we still have the green hills to rely on. If we really all died in there, there wouldn’t even be anyone left to seek revenge,” said Yang Zuotai.

Upon hearing this, Qiandu Xiang was deeply moved and calmed down. With this analysis, the problem did not lie with the local snakes, and he could not blame them. He hurriedly said, “Mm, you all have worked hard too.”

The local snake added, “We didn’t follow your commands at that time, and we really shouldn’t have.”

Qiandu Xiang hastily replied, “No, you did the right thing. If you had charged in, then who would have rescued us?” He was a bit more courteous.

“We still failed to arrive in time, resulting in the Sect Leader’s brother dying there.”

“You can’t blame yourselves for that, it might have been his destiny.” Qiandu Xiang became even calmer. Suddenly several hundred people had died, and he needed more help. The local snakes knew this area better than anyone else, and he didn’t know how Nangong Yao would deal with them. To escape, he would undoubtedly need the help of the local snakes.

The local snake said, “If we could have arrived just half an hour earlier, maybe this would not have happened.”

“Sigh, let’s not talk about this matter anymore.” Qiandu Xiang felt very upset but could not afford to lose his temper. When he realized the problem was with the spy, he became even more humble. It seemed that the local snakes were not simple, not just good for nothing, but actually quite intelligent.

One of Qiandu Xiang’s subordinates said, “We should hurry up and leave this damned Freedom Island. Our ship has been destroyed. If we don’t leave quickly, we might never be able to get away.” Having just narrowly escaped death, he was still somewhat afraid. It was difficult to tell if they would be surrounded by others again.

“Don’t worry, I have been living on Freedom Island for many years. It won’t be easy for them to find us. If you trust me, let me handle the departure from Freedom Island,” said the local snake.

Hai Jingtian shook his head and said, “They won’t stay on the island for too long. They should leave soon.”

Yang Zuotai also added, “That’s right, they won’t stay for too long. After all, they have the Sacred Spirit Stone in their possession. They don’t want to risk the Sacred Spirit Stone falling into someone else’s hands. I believe the matter here will become known to the people of the Thirty-Six Islands soon, and they will leave quickly.”

Those who were scared heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing these words.

“Let’s have the people of the Thirty-Six Islands deal with them. But, Sect Leader, you should hurry back and prepare,” said Baili He, somewhat worriedly.

Qiandu Xiang understood Baili He’s meaning; it was time to return to Sacred Spirit Island to prepare. It seemed impossible to seize the Sacred Spirit Stone now, but he knew that Nangong Yao wouldn’t attack Sacred Spirit Island so soon. Since Shao Hengjiang was injured, they still hadn’t controlled the Sacred Spirit Stone; otherwise, they would have used its energy to confront him tonight, and he would not have been able to escape so easily.

Thinking back, he indeed should return to prepare. If he had no preparations, when Shao Hengjiang and the others really controlled the Sacred Spirit Stone and attacked Sacred Spirit Island, how could he possibly defend against them?

He was infuriated as his brother had already been killed, and he was determined to take revenge. That despicable kid, time and again, had foiled his plans, causing him to fail repeatedly. He could not calm the hatred in his heart until he killed that fellow.

But the boy, carrying the Wolf King’s Ring and possessing extremely formidable martial arts, was truly not easy to deal with. He had no chance of winning, and at his current level, it was impossible to defeat him, not to mention they would have the help of the Sacred Spirit Stone later.

What to do? It would be too difficult to defeat them in a short time; he had to find another way, otherwise, it was utterly impossible. A single Sacred Spirit Stone was already hard enough to stop, let alone the addition of the Wolf King’s Ring.

Fortunately, that guy didn’t easily use the Wolf King’s Ring; otherwise, he would have been defeated long ago. But why didn’t he use the Wolf King’s Ring easily? Right, he could use the magic power of the Wolf King to defeat him.

No, it wasn’t because he didn’t want to use it, but because he was afraid to. Yes, he seemed to have suffered a qigong deviation in the Central Plains before. Indeed, it was something he had only recently learned about. He feared losing control again, hence his reluctance to use it. Surely, that was it. That meant the fellow feared he could not control it, and dared not use it recklessly.

With that in mind, he felt somewhat less afraid. Could he possibly make him succumb to a qigong deviation? If that was indeed the case, he could eliminate the great hatred in his heart.

That’s right; why not drive him mad? After that, find a way to snatch away his Wolf King’s Ring. This was entirely possible. If he managed to have either the Sacred Spirit Stone or the Wolf King’s Ring in his grasp, the situation would be quite different. Unfortunately, he didn’t possess either.

Suddenly, Qiandu Xiang turned his head and asked, “Has the Moon Beast been lured back to Sacred Spirit Island?”

Baili He promptly replied, “If nothing unexpected happened, it should have been lured back to Sacred Spirit Island.”

“Good, come on, they’re dreaming if they think they can defeat me so easily.”
