Chapter 203: Chapter 146: Outsmarting the King, Stealing the Treasure and Withdrawing

"It’s over."

"We’ve hit the top of the trending search."

In the hospital room, Zhao Wanxi looked at the trending headline ’Bai Yiyi Likes a Post’ with immense frustration, incessantly grabbing at her own head, "I clearly deleted all the likes and reposts, why won’t the noise stop?"

Zhao Wanxi kept scrolling through the trending search, already seeing the fans of both sides clashing chaotically into a group, her continuing comments asking everyone to stop fighting were utterly ineffective.

She reposted another post, urging everyone to stop fighting, but soon found that the comments underneath quickly turned into various flame wars.

"It’s hopeless."

Zhao Wanxi threw her phone aside and lay down on the bed, "This thing is too difficult to play with."

...

Mirror World.

Gazing at Hui Ling not far away, Bai Yiyi fell into deep thought.

"In my plan, Lin Xing and the others were responsible for combating the Zhou Tian Sect’s shrimp soldiers and crab generals to attract attention, while the real mission critical task was actually for me to rescue the King of Hailan."

Everything had been progressing smoothly, Bai Yiyi had climbed over the walls to get here without encountering too much obstruction.

Now she had encountered Hui Ling from the Da Guangming Temple.

"The strength of this Hui Ling should only be a little stronger than mine."

"But if I use my astonishing wisdom for a clever strategy, then there’s no chance of failure..."

Just as Bai Yiyi was considering how to outwit the situation, she saw Hui Ling suddenly look over and say softly, "Who’s there?"

A wave of Buddha Sound came, and Bai Yiyi couldn’t help but make Puppet Girl stand out, replying, "It’s me."

As soon as she had answered, Bai Yiyi was startled in her heart, followed by intense anger, "Damn it, I’ve fallen for a trick! This Hui Ling is too cunning!"

Upon seeing Puppet Girl, Hui Ling was slightly surprised and became suddenly tense.

But her face remained calm as she said, "So it’s the Sixth Elder of the Zhou Tian Sect. The Zhou Tian Sect is under attack by a formidable enemy, aren’t you going to join the battle?"

When she had previously made her way into the Imperial Palace of Hailan during her time in the capital of Xia Country, Hui Ling and the Sword Maiden had stormed in only to encounter Ma Hong and Jade Girl obstructing them.

The moment she saw Jade Girl, she was amazed to find she looked strikingly similar to Bai Yiyi, who was notorious in Xia Country.

However, watching Jade Girl’s exchange with the Sword Maiden, she knew this Sixth Elder Jade Girl was not the same person as Bai Yiyi because their strengths were worlds apart.

Hui Ling was very aware of how formidable the Sword Maiden’s combat power and how terrifying her swordsmanship was.

And for Jade Girl to take on the Sword Maiden’s blows with bare hands, such strength made Hui Ling extremely wary.

Especially since she had encountered this Sixth Elder of the Zhou Tian Sect in their very lair and was herself not fully recovered, made her even more uneasy.

On hearing Hui Ling’s words, Bai Yiyi was also taken aback, "She mistook me for Jade Girl? And she seems somewhat afraid of me?"

Bai Yiyi thought to herself, "I’ve fought with Jade Girl before, and when I exerted my full strength, she couldn’t handle me, and now her corpse is on my back."

"To fear a mere Jade Girl, this nun of Da Guangming Temple is nothing special."

With this thought, Bai Yiyi felt a surge of confidence in her spine, speaking out, "Do I have to report my whereabouts to you, old ancestor?"

"Leave the King of Hailan here, and you may leave."

Watching Puppet Girl’s confidence, Hui Ling began to think all the more that her opponent was powerful.

But she was unwilling to let the King slip through her fingers.

Listening to the ongoing clash of battle cries, explosions, and thunderous sounds outside, she wondered if the Sixth Elder was preoccupied with the battle and would prefer not to start a new conflict with her, perhaps blustering at the moment?

So, Hui Ling decided to probe further, her voice subtly imbued with the enchanting power of Buddha Sound, spoke, "The King of Hailan’s safety is a matter of national security, I cannot fail to save him.

If you truly intend to fight, then I must be prepared to fight to the death."

Within the power of Hui Ling’s Buddha Sound, which could twist the heart and reveal one’s nature, Bai Yiyi blurted out, "You sanctimonious nun, you’re really not taking the face I’m giving you. When I roamed the jianghu, you weren’t even around."

She waved her hand dismissively, "Leave the person here and get lost quick."

"And if you don’t go now, my disciple will come over and we’ll beat you together."

In her bravado, Bai Yiyi’s tone was grand, her demeanor was haughty, and her eyes conveyed the disregard for others, even surprising herself for a moment.

But it was precisely in these actions that she displayed the brazenness of a jianghu veteran.

And Hui Ling, the Bright Temple disciple who had seen many esteemed seniors, fell for it.

To the disciples of Bright Temple, the jianghu was never about mere fighting, but about the complexities of human relationships.

Especially since she felt a similarity to the Sword Maiden in her words, a sense of absolute confidence in her own power.

Hui Ling struggled once more, "Isn’t the Zhou Tian Sect being too overbearing, not afraid of making enemies in both worlds?"

Bai Yiyi snorted, "Afraid? I don’t know the meaning of fear, even if your Fangzhang himself came, he wouldn’t be able to take him away."

With that, she walked straight towards the King of Hailan, "I’m taking him with me, if you dare, do something about it now."

Watching her step by step towards the King of Hailan, feeling the absolute confidence radiating from her, Hui Ling pondered and weighed her options...
