第三千四百五十一章 毫无打算

".Youth Lion Book Alliance"

Moon came to stand beside him without his noticing.

"Did you figure it out?"

Lin Xuan turned his head with a smile. He had no intention of hiding anything from Moon.

"Yes, Master did this for mutual benefit. Although we once agreed that if the White Tiger was destroyed, we could command them, but for them, it's an unavoidable choice. Now, with your guidance to preserve our sect's legacy, they will be more motivated to serve us."

Moon's soft voice entered his ears.

A thousand years had passed since their last meeting, and Moon had indeed changed compared to before. In the Human World, her strength was commendable, but she didn't like using her brain; everything was left to Master. However, over these millennia apart, Moon often relied on herself in Yinshi Realm. With the integration of Asura's memories, Moon's wisdom was no less than that of a typical warlord.

Otherwise, how could she have competed with Jin Yue Corpse King and others?

People say one should look at someone differently after three days; Moon now had the ability to stand on her own.

This was evident in their casual conversation.

But Moon never flaunted anything. She always put Master first, offering only guidance as needed. Such a woman was gentle yet wise, knowing when to advance and retreat—she could be every man's perfect match.

A deep affection filled Lin Xuan’s eyes as he nodded with a smile: "You're right. Meeting each other is fate. Preserving the Cloud and Mist Sect's legacy will benefit us."

"How so?"

Moon had already guessed some of it, but now that Master mentioned it, she felt somewhat confused.

"If the Cloud and Mist Sect were to decline, our allies would have no worries, and they might not honor their promises as strongly. But if the sect could rise from the ashes, we'd find them more willing to assist us."

"Yutong Realm is vast with countless sects. This Cloud and Mist Sect isn't prominent. Why are you putting so much effort into it?" Moon's face showed a hint of confusion.

"I'm not sure either."

"You're also unsure?"

Moon was stunned, almost thinking Master had hidden something from her.

Wasn't Master the most shrewd cultivator? He always planned meticulously before acting. This time, he did nothing for a reason—this was absurd.

"I really am unsure."

Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of bitterness: "This mission is truly vexing. Like riding a blind horse in the dark. Even after all these trials and tribulations, I have no idea what to do—it’s completely out of my reach."

"Oh, so Master intends to use the Cloud and Mist Sect?" Moon’s expression turned thoughtful.

"Not exactly. The sect is too weak. Even at its peak, it couldn't help us much in finding the Asura Seven Treasures. The top sects are better, but we can’t afford to offend them."

Lin Xuan sighed.

He wasn’t being modest; those sects undoubtedly had late-stage Golden Elder Immortals, and there were likely more than one. Even a Loose Immortal or Demon King might be present. Lin Xuan wouldn't dare provoke such forces with his currentcourage.

Moon was speechless. Master’s rescue of the Cloud and Mist Sect and his guidance seemed to come from the heart without any ulterior motives.

But she soon realized that if it were her, she would also be at a loss. So why should she expect anything more from Master?

The thought made her shrug off her concerns with a nonchalant expression.

Indeed, it didn’t matter.

As they say, contentment is the key. Being reunited with Master was enough for Moon to be happy. She wasn't overly concerned about finding the Asura Seven Treasures or restoring the former Asura King’s appearance.

She just cared because Lin Xuan did.

Moon wouldn’t blame him now that he appeared resigned to fate. Some things were beyond force, and going with the flow might be better.

Besides, they had only just arrived in Yutong Realm; time was on their side. They couldn't rush into anything significant too quickly.

A smile played at Moon's lips. As long as she could stay by Master’s side, whether it was treasure hunting, adventure, or a peaceful life, she would be content.

...

Moon was satisfied with her current life. Whether they found the Asura Seven Treasures or not was secondary; however, the cultivation world never lacked storms. Not every cultivator's mindset remained as calm as hers.

For instance, Yinyu Dark King now had a sardonic smile on his face. His expression seemed pleased, but it couldn’t hide the anger in his eyes.

A single misstep could ruin everything. As one of the Six Kings of Yinshi Realm, he had seen many storms, yet this time, he was thoroughly outmaneuvered.

After being tricked by Tian Xiaojian and falling into a spatial storm, he narrowly avoided death several times.

But the Six Kings were formidable. After much hardship, he finally made it through.

Emerging from the spatial storm, he arrived at this plane.

"Such dense qi!"

Yinyu Dark King looked around.

The scenery was pleasant, but there were no cultivators in sight. It was just a common place, yet the qi was so thick that such environments were rare even among small realms of the Spirit World.

"Yutong Realm?"

This thought flashed through his mind; it was the most likely candidate.

"Hmph, that Tian brat managed to escape here by sheer luck?" Yinyu Dark King's face still wore a sardonic smile. Don't be surprised why he knew so much about Tian Xiaojian’s whereabouts. Though he had been deceived, Yinyu Dark King wasn’t ordinary. At the critical moment, he left a trace on Tian Xiaojian.

Of course, there was tracking capability. Although it was too far now, Yinyu Dark King could sense that the hateful Tian brat was indeed in this plane—Yutong Realm.

Postscript: Finally, I finished another chapter. I planned to write three today but will have to break my promise again due to some issues with my new computer and running errands at a computer store. However, everything should be fine tomorrow, and I'll make sure to update three times then.
