Chapter 267: Tang Yuehua's Undivided Focus on Revenge
Seeing Tang Yuehua’s somewhat broken demeanor, the Second Elder’s lips moved slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end, he only sighed.
Because he truly had nothing to say; that Spirit Hall Saint Child was only twenty-one years old this year, yet at such a young age, his strength was already considered top-tier on the continent.
If he continued to cultivate, to what extent would he reach? Would he break through the shackles of level 99 and become a legendary god?
So, to be honest, even the Second Elder himself no longer had the heart for revenge; his only thought now was to find a way to help the Clear Sky Sect survive this calamity and continue its legacy on the continent.
The reason he accompanied Tang Yuehua to the battlefield to cause trouble for Heaven Dou was not to obstruct Spirit Hall, but to preserve his eldest brother’s last bloodline.
“Yuehua, I understand everything you’ve said, but what you’re doing is useless. First, let’s not even discuss whether you can help Star Luo defeat Heaven Dou.”
“Even if you could, after winning, Star Luo would still not possibly seek trouble with Spirit Hall for your sake.”
“Your desire to use Star Luo’s power for revenge is pure wishful thinking. Go back, go be your Moon Pavilion Master.”
“From now on, the Clear Sky Sect will no longer seek you out, and you should not return. If the Clear Sky Sect is annihilated in the future, your existence will be considered a glimmer of hope for the Sect.”
“After all, you did not inherit the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit, and you are just a woman. As long as you don't stand out, no one will notice you.”
Tang Yuehua stared blankly at the Second Elder. She found it somewhat unbelievable that such self-deprecating words would come from the Second Elder, who used to be arrogant and composed.
She could tell that the Second Elder had no confidence in the Clear Sky Sect's ability to continue its existence.
Otherwise, the Second Elder would not have uttered such words that dampened their own morale and boosted the enemy's prestige.
Then, Tang Yuehua’s eyes flickered, and she nodded, saying:
“Since that’s the case, then I will listen to you, Second Elder. I will return to the Moon Pavilion.”
Hearing Tang Yuehua’s words, a smile appeared on the Second Elder’s aged face.
“Good, it’s good that you’ve understood. I’ll send you back now.”
No sooner had the Second Elder finished speaking than Tang Yuehua shook her head, indicating her disagreement.
“Second Elder, I’ll go back by myself. The Clear Sky Sect has just experienced turmoil and needs you to preside over the overall situation.”
“For such a long time, you’ve been accompanying me everywhere. Yuehua already feels guilty. Now that I have some self-preservation ability, nothing will happen.”
“Moreover, Spirit Hall’s people are very active in Heaven Dou. With your identity, it would be very unsafe if you appeared within Heaven Dou’s borders.”
Hearing Tang Yuehua’s words, the Second Elder hesitated, because he didn’t know if this was just an excuse Tang Yuehua was using to get rid of him.
However, what she said made some sense; if he were to go to Heaven Dou, it would indeed be somewhat dangerous.
“In that case, then this old man will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest. After that, you can walk along the periphery yourself, and you’ll quickly cross the border.”
“Sigh, Yuehua, I hope you’re not deceiving this old man. Otherwise, if you go for revenge by yourself, you’ll only throw away your life for nothing.”
The Second Elder sighed, and after giving Tang Yuehua some instructions, he flew with her all the way to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Once they arrived, the Second Elder found a hidden spot, set Tang Yuehua down, and told her to walk along the forest edge.
Only after the Second Elder could no longer see Tang Yuehua’s back did he shake his head and turn to leave.
But about half an hour later, Tang Yuehua, who should have returned to Heaven Dou City, reappeared here.
Tang Yuehua looked up at the sky, her eyes vacant and spiritless, muttering to herself:
“Second Elder, I’m sorry. Yuehua knows you’re doing this for my own good, but now, Yuehua feels that living no longer has any meaning.”
“Therefore, I will find a way to seek revenge in my own way, even if I die in vain in the end, I will still be willing!”
… …
A week later, Bai Yu once again appeared above a battlefield, but now, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were filled with impatience.
He had been searching for that auxiliary Spirit Master who used a zither for many days, but even now, he still hadn't found any trace of that person.
And he didn't know if his search information had been exposed, but for this recent period, that damned zither player hadn't appeared at all, not even a whisper of news.
“Tsk, forget it, I’m not looking anymore! If you never show up again, so be it, but if you stir up trouble again, I’ll drag Gu Yuena over!”
“You can run, can’t you? Let’s see if you run faster, or if I cross space faster!”
Bai Yu stood in the air, cursing somewhat unwillingly.
Having been out for so long and not finding a single thing, Bai Yu was somewhat exasperated.
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Gu Yuena in over two years; if he hadn't been led on a wild goose chase now, Bai Yu would have forgotten about Gu Yuena.
Just as Bai Yu turned to leave, he suddenly heard an angry shout from below:
“Hey, little lady up ahead, stop right now, or when we catch you, we’ll make sure to thoroughly ravage you!”
Bai Yu’s expression was a bit strange. He never expected to encounter a scene of kidnapping women on a battlefield?
Then he turned his head and saw a woman, dressed in Heaven Dou noble attire, being pursued by five Spirit Masters from the Star Luo side.
This woman was tall, well-proportioned, and quite good-looking. If not for being chased so miserably, she should have been very elegant.
She looked at the five Spirit Masters who were getting closer behind her and said anxiously:
“I am Xue Qinghe, the Tiandou Emperor’s etiquette teacher. If you pursue me like this, aren’t you afraid that the Tiandou Emperor will get angry and Star Luo will make you scapegoats?”
Hearing the woman’s words, the five Star Luo Spirit Masters all burst into laughter.
“Haha, if you weren’t that Heaven Dou brat’s teacher, we wouldn’t bother with you. Blame your disciple then; if he hadn’t started this war, you wouldn’t have to suffer this.”
“Heh, I hope you, this teacher, have some standing in that Heaven Dou brat’s heart. Otherwise, your outcome might not be so good.”
Hearing their conversation, a bunch of question marks popped up on Bai Yu’s forehead.
Qian Renxue’s etiquette teacher? Who was that? Besides, what was an etiquette teacher doing on a battlefield? Was she tired of living?
Bai Yu shook his head. Although he hadn't figured out why an etiquette teacher would appear here, he still decided to help.
After all, if she were caught, Star Luo would surely use her to make demands of Qian Renxue. If those demands were agreed to, they would definitely suffer a loss, and if not, it would look bad on their part.
So, for Qian Renxue’s sake, Bai Yu decided to lend a hand and send this etiquette teacher, who appeared out of nowhere, back.
