Chapter 1249 - 1249 1235 Ninety-nine Returns to One Array

Chapter 1249: Chapter 1235: Ninety-nine Returns to One Array Chapter 1249: Chapter 1235: Ninety-nine Returns to One Array Baili He hid in the dense forest.

His assistant was right beside him.

A scout who had gone to gather information ran back and said, “They plan to smoke out the Moon Beast with pepper and black smoke.”

The assistant smiled and said, “That’s exactly what we’re hoping they’d do. If they were to enter the cave to capture it, we wouldn’t know what to do. Whether to go in or not was a dilemma, but now we don’t have to consider that at all.”

The subordinate nodded and said, “Then we’ll stick to the original plan.”

“Of course, everything as planned. When the time is right, we’ll release the monster and then the Winged Dragon. We’ll open a gap from the east side to lure out the Moon Beast. After the Moon Beast escapes, we’ll cover its retreat. I estimate one hour should suffice. By then, it should be able to head towards the sea. Those youngsters from the Sacred Spirit Sect won’t be able to catch up. We can then retreat.”

The assistant continued, “The boats are already waiting for us. Even if the Sacred Spirit Sect detects our intentions and sends out ships to chase us, it will take them a long while to reach the east side. By the time they get there, we’ll be long gone.” Everything seemed to be under his perfect control.

Baili He couldn’t afford to be careless and asked, “How many people do they have?”

“Around two hundred or so,” the messenger said.

The assistant chuckled, “Then we have absolutely nothing to fear from them.”

Baili He smiled, “I was never afraid of them. What I care about is whether we can release the Moon Beast or not.”

“Of course we can. When the time comes, we’ll give them a taste of their own medicine with the pepper. They won’t know which way is up by the time we’re long gone.”

Baili He said softly, “I think the Moon Beast will be out soon. Don’t just stand there dumbfounded; hurry and get ready.” He then instructed his assistant, “You’ll be in charge of the right side, and I’ll handle the left.”

“Don’t worry, Boss. We’re sure to succeed,” the assistant giggled.

The Black Demonic Spirit seemed to be the commander of this Moon Beast capturing mission, an opportunity he had never had before. Now that he had the chance, he wanted to make the most of it and make a name for himself, like that monkey, so everyone on Sacred Spirit Island would know about him. If he could gain fame in the Sacred Spirit Sect, wouldn’t it be easy to find someone who wanted to marry him!

Ouyang Yue had promised him that as long as he captured the Moon Beast, she would give him a large mansion. He wasn’t in need of a mansion to live in, what he wanted was to cling onto the powerful thigh of the Sacred Spirit Sect. By doing so, his future would certainly be full of hope, and perhaps he might even find an island to rule as its Island Master.

Having served others for so many years, he had never dreamed that one day he could become an Island Master and others’ master. He had to seize this opportunity.

In contrast, the Red Demonic Spirit far away wasn’t nearly as enthusiastic, looking as if he had just had a heartbreak, gloomy all day long, which puzzled the Black Demonic Spirit. He asked, “Old Red, what’s up with you? Did you get hurt? Why the long face all the time?”

“Ha ha, I don’t have a long face. I’m contemplating life.”

“Contemplating life? You’ve got to be joking. Tonight, I’ll take you to Yixiang Brothel for a wild night. Stop thinking, and you’ll understand what life really is.”

“You, always thinking of nothing but those things, is there anything else in your mind?”

Glancing at the two innocent men and women chatting on the grassy field in the distance, the Black Demonic Spirit said, “I really don’t understand what those two are up to. It’s annoying to watch. They obviously like each other but won’t be together. I don’t know what they’re trying to do.”

“With your intelligence—only focused on looks—you just wouldn’t understand. I bet you’ll never get it in this lifetime. You’re the type who’s hot for three days, and after that, you can’t even remember people’s names,” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

The Black Demonic Spirit giggled.

“Am I wrong?”

“I don’t want to understand all that. Life is too short as it is, and they’re wasting time on troubles; it’s nothing but self-torture!”

“What they have is true sentiment.”

“But all I see is their suffering.”

“Yet, they feel joy in their hearts.”

“Really? Why can’t they just be open-hearted like me?”

“That’s not being open-hearted, that’s being promiscuous.”

“I can’t understand it. How can he be so irresponsible? Sleeping with Ouyang Yue is one thing – having several wives and concubines is pretty normal. I even dream of flipping signs in the future. Just marrying one more, is it really that complicated?”

“Talking about this with you would lower my IQ. You’ll never understand,” said the Red Demonic Spirit as he stood up.

“Remember, in a few days, after we finish the job, let’s go have a drink at Yixiang Brothel. I heard there’s a girl named Little Qian there who’s as pretty as a ghost. Every time Ye Chen goes there for a drink, he looks for her.”

“You should have let the female ghost capture you earlier, to avoid harming others here.”

Boom, boom…

Several tongues of fire shot out from the cave, blowing open the blocked entrance, and scared the people into running to both sides.

Continuously emitting fire and belching smoke, a creature flew out from the cave—it was a Winged Qilin. Its eyes gleamed fiercely, and as if it had had enough, it let out wailing cries, jabbing at its eyes, and roaring as if to say, “You think I’m a sick cat when I don’t show my tiger’s ferocity, don’t you?”

The Black Demonic Spirit was the first to hide, as several trees around got blasted to the ground.

The erratic spraying, similar to fireworks, caused thick smoke to billow everywhere, and the disciples of the Sacred Spirit Sect hurriedly took cover.

The Black Demonic Spirit was taken aback, thinking it could hold out for a while longer. Unexpectedly, it was smoked until it turned red, and one could smell the spicy scent of chili from afar, as it said, “We’ve really got it riled up now.”

That haughty Moon Beast, whose wounds from the last time had healed by more than half, was originally very hot-tempered. After being tormented for half a day, even the most mild-tempered would have had enough.

“The little miss is really angry now.” The Black Demonic Spirit felt better off hiding; its mission was to drive out the Moon Beast, and how to capture it wasn’t its concern. By this time, its job had been done.

Some people weren’t so lucky and got roasted into meat, with the aroma drifting around, causing unexplainable hunger.

Ouyang Yue shouted, “Jiu Hu!”

Jiu Hu immediately summoned several elders to set up a formation, preparing to seize the time to control the beast, first encircling it to prevent escape and to keep it from retreating back into the cave.

Their plan was straightforward: stabilize the Moon Beast first, and then figure out a way to use the Ninety-nine Returns to One Array to seal it away.

Ye Chen approached Ouyang Yue, and Ouyang Yue said, “Wait a minute, and see if they can seal it up before we do anything.”

The frenzied Moon Beast, ready to flee, had just leaped up when several bolts of lightning released by the Ninety-nine Returns to One Array, led by Jiu Hu, grasped its feet and pulled the beast, which was suspended in mid-air, back down.

It fell hard to the ground, and the furious Moon Beast wailed and roared. After its roars, it spewed out tongues of fire, attacking the crowd, but Jiu Hu, with the Ninety-nine Returns to One Array and over a dozen seniors wielding various weapons, kept releasing energy to form a protective barrier. They encased the Moon Beast within it, making the flames it spat unable to penetrate their array.

The Moon Beast was obviously under the control of the Ninety-nine Returns to One Array, but it was not willing to give up. If it had not been for the severe wounds it had received and the lack of immediate recovery, it would not have feared this bunch. It was frustrating that in this desolate place, even after half a month, it only had recovered to sixty percent of its power.

It went mad, attacking incessantly, as if possessed.

A youngster next to Baili He said, “They’ve really used the Ninety-nine Returns to One Array to control the Moon Beast.”

“That’s because the Moon Beast is only left with half its power; otherwise, how could they possibly control it?” said Baili He.

When they captured the Moon Beast initially, it took hundreds of people, and back then, the Moon Beast had not been injured yet.

“If it hadn’t been for our help, the Moon Beast wouldn’t have been able to escape.”

Baili He sneered, thinking it wouldn’t be so easy to capture the Moon Beast right in front of him, and they hadn’t asked for his consent yet.

On the other side, Jiu Hu became unconsciously excited. The Ninety-nine Returns to One Array was rebuilt with his efforts, and today presented a chance to show it. He wouldn’t let go of this opportunity and called out, “Moon, don’t come over. I’ll exhaust it thoroughly, and then we can subdue it.”

His plan was simple: exhaust the Moon Beast first, and when it weakened and flaws appeared, launch a counterattack. By then, he was sure they could quickly seal the Moon Beast.

Ouyang Yue dared not relax. Although she trusted Jiu Hu and Jiu Hu wanted to use this opportunity to perform well, many seniors from the Sacred Spirit Sect had died, and the younger ones wanted to take this chance to stand out. But if the Moon Beast escaped, it wouldn’t be so easy to capture again. This was a golden opportunity, and she was on edge.

Ye Chen was behind her.

Behind Ye Chen were Guo Yuyun and Song Xizhi, who were also stunned. Indeed, as one of the Four Great Beasts, it was so formidable even when wounded that they could hardly believe it. If it hadn’t been injured, who could have captured it?

Just as they were about to capture the Moon Beast, it was weakening steadily, and Jiu Hu grew increasingly excited, yelling, “That’s it, now we can completely turn it into crystal.”

But before he could finish his sentence, there was a disturbance in the south, and a subordinate ran back saying, “There’s movement up front.”

“Did we perhaps startle a monster in the forest?” Ouyang Yue wondered.

Before the subordinate could answer, more than a dozen Fireballs flew in from all directions.

Li Mo said, “Not good, we’ve been ambushed.”
