Chapter 929: Does the Black Moon howl? — How the hell should I know!
Fu Xuan fell silent. She suddenly realized that not only was she completely unable to see through this young man's strength, but she also found it difficult to grasp his thoughts.
Phantylia's subsequent movements were not hard to guess.
When an "Emanator of Destruction" realizes they have been toyed with and deceived, they will inevitably fly into a rage and seek to reclaim the humiliation they suffered a hundred or a thousand times over.
This naturally leads to one result—settling the score with Bai Xuan.
From Phantylia's perspective, since Bai Xuan's strength was fake, the only person left on the Xianzhou who could pose a threat to her was Jing Yuan.
This meant that her previous schemes could continue, and even if the "Luo Fu" Xianzhou noticed this, they would not have sufficient strength or troops to stop her.
She could smoothly approach the "Ambrosial Arbor" and plot to seize the divine power of "Abundance."
Once Phantylia truly mastered the power of both the "Abundance" and "Destruction" Paths simultaneously, trying to resist her with only Jing Yuan's Divine Lord would be nearly delusional.
At that point, with the "Luo Fu" Xianzhou having no external aid and the Cloud Knights' current strength, victory would be impossible. The only turning point would be to summon the manifestation of the Reignbow Arbiter.
To take Phantylia's life directly with the light arrow of the Hunt.
And this would be equivalent to repeating the history of the "Fanghu" Xianzhou.
That time, the Borisin brought a fleet and beast-weapons that blotted out the sky, and even summoned the "Cetus Mirage," a living constellation from ancient legends.
Even with the "Yuque," "Luo Fu," and "Fanghu" Xianzhou fighting together, they still could not withstand the onslaught of the Abundance followers.
Thus, Fu Xuan's master sent a distress signal to the last known location of the Reignbow Arbiter's light arrow, summoning it.
In the end, the light arrow of the Hunt descended, destroying Xianzhou people and Abundance followers on the battlefield without distinction, and Fu Xuan's master perished within it.
Having thought all this through in an instant, sweat seeped from Fu Xuan's forehead.
However, there was still one point Fu Xuan could not figure out: since Bai Xuan considered his strength to be far above Phantylia's, why hadn't he taken action to capture her directly?
Was it because of the characteristics of the heliobus energy lifeform that he needed some help to capture Phantylia's true form?
Seeming to read the doubt and confusion between Fu Xuan's brows, Bai Xuan spoke up to explain:
"It's not because of the reason you're thinking of."
"Wha..." Fu Xuan was stunned. She hadn't said anything at all; how did Bai Xuan probe what she was thinking?
"The script written by the 'Slave of Destiny' is quite good. Aside from the fact that I don't like that the original script assumes Tingyun will die, I accept the general framework of this segment."
Bai Xuan pressed his hand to Tingyun's forehead, attempting to wake the little fox who was still pretending to be asleep.
But Tingyun acted as if she were having a nightmare; she grabbed Bai Xuan's hand with both of hers, pulled it to her chest, and held on tightly.
"There is a friend on the Express who hails from the Vidyadhara race of the 'Luo Fu'."
As he spoke, Bai Xuan let out a soft sigh:
"His past life left a whole mess of unresolved debts for the Vidyadhara and the 'Luo Fu' that were never settled."
"This time, he has returned, and he needs a catalyst to resolve those issues."
"As it happens, Phantylia is a good wedge; she makes it convenient for him to meet with people he otherwise couldn't, to clarify some things and speak his mind."
"And in the original script, he was the final straw that broke Phantylia."
"..." Fu Xuan frowned. Her intuition told her that the person Bai Xuan was talking about had a background that was far from simple.
"May I ask the identity of that friend..."
"One of the key criminals of the 'Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion,' the 'Imbibitor Lunae' Dan Feng," Bai Xuan said softly.
Fu Xuan froze, her pupils dilating slightly.
A little earlier.
At the place where the Cloud Knights were stationed not long ago, a star-skiff slowly pulled into the dock, and three passengers stepped off.
They were Sushang, who had not been polluted by knowledge; Luo Sha, who had an Otto-like face; and Dan Heng, whose past life was one of the High-Cloud Quintet.
It could be said that each of them had extraordinary qualities, and each could be the protagonist of a story.
If Welt were here, his brain would surely undergo a baptism no less intense than a Level 20 hurricane, only to be shoved into a "Black Hole Furnace" to experience Genesis once more.
"Hmm, where is this...?"
Sushang muttered, looking toward the direction of the pier, which was heavily fortified by Cloud Knight soldiers. ===== CHAPTER 931 =====
