Wu Chao looked at Teng Yizhou who was hovering in the sky and said, "Teng Yizhou, although there's an agreement between the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council, it has nothing to do with Zhao Yue calling you master. Great Yan belongs to the Black Tower Council. If I don't yield, do you really dare to make a move?"
The Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council had signed a peace agreement a long time ago. When it came to plundering resources, the two sides had always stayed out of each other's way and acted in accordance with the agreement.
At this moment, Lian Xing stepped forward and looked at Wu Chao as she said, "The White Tower Council, naturally, disdains to compete with the Black Tower Council for Great Yan. However, Zhao Yue is like my sister. Therefore, I must take her away."
Although Wu Chao's expression remained unchanged, he was inwardly puzzled. What did it mean that the White Tower Council had no intention of competing with the Black Tower Council for Birth Chart Beasts in the golden lotus domain? He turned to look at Zhao Yue; how could a mere Six-leaf cultivator be worthy of their attention?
After a moment, Wu Chao pointed at Zhao Yue and asked, "You came here only to take her away?"
Teng Yizhou seemed to have found a solution so he hastily said, "That's right."
Lian Xing who had also seen the solution to the problem said with a smile, "Why don't both sides take a step back for the sake of the agreement between the White Tower Council and the Black Tower Council? Moreover, we don't have conflicting interests. We'll concede Great Yan to you, but you have to let us bring Zhao Yue away. What do you think?"
Wu Chao grew even more confused when he heard these words. How could the entire golden lotus domain compare to a mere Six-leaf cultivator? It was impossible for the other side not to know the disparity of the values between the two.
Humans were very strange creatures. As soon as they were presented with something they wanted, they would suddenly become suspicious.
Wu Chao did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Teng Yi Zhou and asked with a smile, "Why is the White Tower Council suddenly so magnanimous?"
"If you don't believe me, we can contact the Elders Guild and let them decide. What do you think?" Teng Yizhou asked.
Seeing Teng Yizhou's reaction, Wu Chao was even more certain there was more to Zhao Yue.
The two blackguards stepped forward to the left and the right of Zhao Yue, blocking her.
Wu Chao's thoughts spun wildly in his mind as he said, "There's no need to trouble the elders with our matter…"
Teng Yizhou said, "The White Tower Council has already made a concession. What else do you want?"
Wu Chao thought about it for a long while, but he still could not figure out what was wrong. He turned and studied Zhao Yue for a moment, but he did sense anything special about her. In the end, Zhao Yue was just a woman. If the White Tower Council wanted her, he would give her to them.
At this moment, Zhao Yue suddenly cried out, "Sister Lian Xing, hurry up and save me! Don't let my Great Void energy fall into the Black Tower Council's hands!"
Teng Yizhou. "…"
Lian Xing. "…"
Wu Chao lifted his head immediately; a shocked expression could be seen on his face at this moment. He turned to look at Zhao Yue and asked, "You have the Great Void energy?"
At this moment, one of the blackguards brought a talisman out. The talisman with the script 'Wu' began to burn and flew toward Zhao Yue. When the talisman was about to land on her, it suddenly disintegrated.
"Great Void energy!" Wu Chao raised his hand and said, "Bring her to the back."
"Understood." A blackguard grabbed Zhao Yue and retreated 100 meters.
Wu Chao's eyes glinted as he looked at Teng Yizhou and said, "I was wondering why the White Tower Council was so magnanimous. As it turns out, you have a secret. How about this; I'll let you have Great Yan, and we'll take Zhao Yue with us?"
Teng Yizhou said in a deep voice, "You're going to go back on your words?"
"How can I go back on my words when I didn't agree to anything. Earlier, you said your conditions are good. Now that I propose them to you, why aren't you agreeing?"
"You!"
The three whiteguards behind Teng Yizhou got into positions immediately.
Teng Yizhou suppressed his anger and asked Zhao Yue, "Are you deliberately trying to sow discord?"
Zhao Yue laughed. It was a bright and moving sight. She did not deny it. She looked at Lian Xing and said, "Indeed, I'm trying to sow discord. It seems like you're not completely stupid."
Lian Xing said in disbelief, "Sister Zhaoyue, you do know they're from the Black Tower Council, right?"
"Stop pretending. It's not like you're any better." Zhao Yue had planned to stir up a conflict between the two parties according to Si Wuya's plan without revealing anything. However, she did not expect the White Tower Council would make a concession. Therefore, she followed Si Wuya's alternative plan and revealed that she had the Great Void energy. So far, everything was progressing as Si Wuya had planned.
Wu Chao nodded. "So Teng Yizhou isn't your master?"
Zhao Yue said disdainfully, "How can a person like him compare to my master?"
Anger flashed in Teng Yizhou's eyes as he said, "After I take down the blackguards, I'll skin you alive and refine your Great Void energy."
Teng Yizhou waved his hands, the two white-clad men behind him swooped down immediately and landed in front of Wu Chao.
Wu Chao raised his hand.
A black astrolabe with the script 'Wu' appeared in front of Wu Chao immediately.
Teng Yizhou exclaimed in shock, "You're a witchcraft cultivator? No wonder you dare to challenge the White Guards!"
There were three people from the Black Guards and four people from the White Guards.
At this moment, Wu Chao pushed his hand out.
A black seal split into two before knocking the two whiteguards back.
Following that, Wu Chao flashed into the air and waved his hand again.
A black astrolabe with a diameter of 500 feet appeared in the air. The script 'Wu' flashed with a black light.
Wu Chao said, "If the White Tower Council wants to fight for the Great Void energy, they have to at least have the strength to do so…"
Teng Yizhou looked back and said, "All of you, capture Zhao Yue! I'll deal with Wu Chao!"
"Understood." The two whiteguards flew down immediately.
At the same time, Wu Chao pushed the witchcraft astrolabe out.
Teng Yi Zhou rose into the sky before a white lotus appeared under his feet. The white lotus shone with a dazzling white light as he moved at lightning speed.
In just an instant, the rumbling sound of explosions resounded through the entire Imperial palace.
…
In the Divine Capital.
The cultivators in the relay station lifted their heads one after another.
"Inform the Sect Master that we've achieved our objective."
"Carry out the next step of the plan. Members of the Darknet, evacuate the Divine Capital!"
…
Meanwhile.
Wu Chao's black witchcraft astrolabe clashed with Teng Yizhou's attacks repeatedly.
The other whiteguards found an opening at this moment and slipped past Wu Chao before they rushed toward Zhao Yue.
Upon seeing this, the blackguard guarding Zhao Yue tossed out several talismans to the ground.
In just an instant, a cage rose from the ground around Zhao Yue.
Following that, the two blackguards engaged the whiteguards in a fight.
The inscriptions of the formations in the Imperial palace lit up one after another, blocking the aftershock from the impact of the fight. Nevertheless, cracks still appeared on the palace walls thousands of meters away.
Boom!
Wu Chao's black witchcraft astrolabe collided with the white lotus.
The force from the impact rippled out and from the Evergreen Palace to the entire Imperial palace.
Teng Yizhou said, "Are you going to break the Black Tower Council's rules and kill the innocent?"
"Aren't you planning to do the same?" Wu Chao retorted.
Teng Yizhou looked at his surroundings before he said, "Come up here if you have the guts." Following that, he flashed and rose several thousand meters up in the sky.
Wu Chao scoffed. "Why wouldn't I have the guts? You can't possibly think that I'm afraid of you, right?"
At this moment, Teng Yizhou said to Lian Xing, "Lian Xing, if we can obtain the thing we want, then we have to destroy it. Do you understand?"
Despite the troubled expression on her face, Lian Xing bowed and said, "Yes."
Wu Chao said coldly, "Pretending to be Zhao Yue's master and sister; I feel embarrassed on your behalf."
The witchcraft astrolabe expanded. With a diameter of several thousand meters, it seemed capable of covering the sky.
Wu Chao stepped onto his black lotus before he advanced toward Teng Yizhou.
…
Outside of the Imperial palace.
The cultivators in the Divine Capital looked up at the shocking scene. Most of them thought the world was coming to an end and hurriedly retreated.
From a distance, it seemed like a huge black orb and a huge white orb were repeatedly smashing against each other.
With their cultivation bases, the cultivators could not see anything else apart from that.
…
Wu Chao and Teng Yizhou collided again. The impact from the collision made the air ripple as a dazzling light exploded in the sky.
Boom!
The deafening collision caused shivers to run up people's spines.
…
Meanwhile, Zhao Yue watched the battle in shock. This was the strength of a Thousand Realms Whirling expert? Whether it was cultivators from Great Yan or the golden lotus domain, she suddenly felt like they were just a speck of dust in front of these Thousand Realms Whirling experts.
At this time, Lian Xing led the two whiteguards to the front. "Release Zhao Yue, and we'll spare your lives!"
"You can try if you think you're strong enough…"
With that, the blackguards and the whiteguard began to fight again.
After a while, seeing that the whiteguards had numbers on their side, an idea appeared in his mind. He hurriedly flashed to Zhao Yue's side. Following that, he grabbed her and flew toward the north of the Imperial palace.
"Chase!"
The remaining blackguard brandished his long halberd, releasing surges of energy to stop the whiteguards from chasing after Zhao Yue.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Upon seeing this, Teng Yizhou cast the White Lotus Sacred Seal. He joined his palms together before energy seals covered the sky.
Wu Chao flashed three times and appeared behind Teng Yizhou. He spread his arms to the sides before stepping forward.
The witchcraft astrolabe split into four and immediately blocked the energy seals from the White Lotus Sacred Seal.
Wu Chao laughed. "It seems like the White Guards' strength is only average. Did you think the Black Guards are pushovers?"
Following that, the witchcraft astrolabe blocked the whiteguards from chasing after Zhao Yue.
Wu Chao's witchcraft power exceeded Teng Yizhou's expectations. He could only focus on his fight with Wu Chao without being able to do much else to help his comrades.
…
On the other side, while Lian Xing and the whiteguards were fighting the blackguards, Lian Xing called out impatiently, "Zhao Yue…"
…
At this moment, Teng Yizhou suddenly shouted, "Mountains and Rivers Descend!"
A white avatar fell from the sky toward Wu Chao immediately.
When Teng Yizhou saw an opening in the witchcraft astrolabe, he shouted, "Chase after them!"
"Understood!"
Whoosh!
The three whiteguards flashed to the north as fast as shooting stars.
Upon seeing this, Wu Chao withdrew his hands. In just a second, he vanished into thin air!
Teng Yizhou gritted his teeth and said angrily, "You have no part in that!"
Following that, Teng Yizhou vanished into thin air as well.
The two parties moved at top speed toward the north.
