Chapter 1240 Good Luck Keeps Coming, Something's Not Right
"Damn it, stop her, stop her now!"
"We can't let her continue to cause destruction!"
"Pei Yanzhou, you bastard, are you sleepwalking? Does your Mohist school of thought truly intend to completely sever itself from the world?"
"Everyone, take immediate action to protect all the sacred wax stones and stop this master on white horse!"
"Masters, you have already chosen your path to death!"
"..."
The insane actions of this powerful figure who followed the White Horse Path of the Divine Path finally managed to throw the Mo Family Temple into complete chaos.
The Duke of Wuwei pursued relentlessly, and Pei Yanzhou summoned a large army of mechanical beasts. Even the experts in the city, as well as Zhao Jijiu and others from the Mo Family Temple, all rushed into the courtyard to try and capture the white horse of the famous family.
Even so, it did nothing to improve the situation, except to make things more chaotic.
no way.
The strength of the renowned Bai Ma is too great.
Perhaps when it comes to one-on-one combat, even a renowned swordsman like Bai Ma wouldn't be qualified to carry the shoes of the Duke of Wuwei; and when it comes to large-scale military formations on the battlefield, Bai Ma wouldn't have any ability to directly confront him.
But when it comes to causing destruction...
A master of speed and stealth is truly blessed. In the face of such a powerful expert who excels in concealment and teleportation, the opponent is like a slippery eel.
They had no way of catching each other.
Of course, the powerful figures of the White Horse Path are not without rivals. In fact, many divine paths have their own ways to counter and deal with the White Horse Path. But no matter what the method is, it can only reduce the opponent's killing methods.
In fact, apart from Shinto, who was particularly restrained and able to capture the famous Hakuba directly, at least for those present now, all they could do was rely on their numerical advantage to continuously shrink the opponent's activity range until the opponent had nowhere to escape.
Can……
The other party wasn't there to assassinate anyone, but to cause destruction.
The damage was to the extremely fragile Holy Stone.
Their methods were completely ineffective; they could only watch helplessly as one piece of sacred wax stone after another, brought by Pei Yanzhou, shattered.
They did think about protecting the Sacred Wax Stone, but the Sacred Wax Stone was fragile to begin with. They themselves had to handle it with great care. In front of a powerful expert from the Famous Family White Horse Sect who had a clear objective and considerable strength, protecting it was much more difficult than destroying it.
This is also why Pei Yanzhou was able to force Duke Wuwei to act. No matter how strong Duke Wuwei was, he could not instantly kill all the mechanical beasts and protect all the sacred wax stones from being destroyed.
Because it's simply impossible to do.
Pei Yanzhou had previously been smug about this plan, but now he couldn't laugh at all; he even felt like dying.
Heaven and earth conscience.
He never really intended to break through with these sacred wax stones; he only wanted to make Wuwei Gong hesitate. Who would have thought that they would become the Achilles' heel of that famous family's white horse?
He knew he had been set up.
But there was nothing they could do.
"Kacha!"
“Crack~!”
"Click!"
One after another, the sound of the sacred wax stone shattering rang out. Each time this sound appeared, Pei Yanzhou's heart skipped a beat, and his hands and feet went cold.
For a fleeting moment, Pei Yanzhou even thought that dying might be more comfortable than being alive.
but……
After experiencing repeated heart palpitations and icy hands and feet, Pei Yanzhou belatedly realized that something was wrong.
wrong!
No, no, no!
It's one hundred percent wrong!
Subconsciously, Pei Yanzhou looked at the Ghost Sphere over there, or rather, the Holy Light Core that was enveloped by the Ghost Sphere.
So far, the Holy Wax Stone has been broken into seven or eight pieces one after another, and the Holy Light Core of Wuwei City, which had already dimmed, has not only not been completely extinguished by the plunder, but its holy light has become even brighter.
This means that none of the eight holy wax stones that were broken apart contain any plundering power.
"What's going on? So many holy wax stones, yet they seem to have no power to plunder them?"
"Of course, I don't think there's anything wrong with that, it just feels strange. I heard that the plundering and feeding back in the Holy Wax Stone are about 50/50. Is this just good luck, or... something else?"
"Is it possible that Senior Pei did this on purpose, and that he only brought Sacred Wax Stones that have no power to plunder, and that he never intended to really destroy Wuwei City from the beginning?"
"This...no way, and I've never heard of anyone being able to spot a problem from the outside after a piece of holy wax has been cut open?"
"But how do you explain this situation now?"
"..."
The conversation nearby reached Pei Yanzhou's ears.
Those were all disciples of the Mo Family Temple, including Zhao Ci, the Chief Priest. They were originally from Wuwei City, but because of the Mo Family Grand Master's decree, they were now in a very awkward situation.
Neither Duke Wuwei nor Pei Yanzhou had actually offered any assistance to either side before.
Instead, he quietly stepped aside throughout.
They only rushed forward to help when a powerful figure from the White Horse Path made a move, hoping to capture that expert.
But now, they have also discovered the anomaly of the sacred wax stone, and for a moment they are all wondering what exactly is going on.
Actually, it's not just them.
Pei Yanzhou's gaze swept over the others. Whether it was the Duke of Wuwei's personal guards, other experts from the city who came to help, or even the famous Bai Ma who had shattered the Sacred Wax Stone one after another, they all occasionally glanced at Pei Yanzhou.
Especially that renowned expert on the White Horse, Pei Yanzhou even saw despair in her eyes.
The others couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration as well.
Somewhat...
A feeling of profound respect?
Clearly, their thoughts were the same as those of the Mohist disciples in Wuwei City; they all felt that there was something wrong with these sacred wax stones, and even that these harmless sacred wax stones were the result of Pei Yanzhou's careful selection.
Can……
Pei Yanzhou himself was completely baffled; he genuinely had no idea why!
However, looking at the holy wax stones shattering one after another, and then at the holy light core that not only did not dim but was becoming brighter and brighter, Pei Yanzhou suddenly felt that he seemed to have grasped something key.
"When I searched for these sacred wax stones, I used mechanical beasts to dig them. Although I was involved, it was actually more of the mechanical beasts' instinctive choice. Could it be that this is why all the sacred wax stones my mechanical beasts chose were harmless?"
"Or... is it because the sacred wax stones mined by the mechanical beasts will naturally become harmless?"
For a fleeting moment, Pei Yanzhou felt...
I may have figured out how to distinguish between good and bad holy wax stones!
"Bang~!"
Just as Pei Yanzhou was lost in thought, a loud explosion suddenly rang out. Immediately afterwards, the famous white horse, which had been constantly dodging and trying to shatter one sacred wax stone after another, was finally caught by the Duke of Wuwei.
With a horizontal slash of his halberd, he was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground.
The terrifying power caused the blood on her body to instantly shatter, exploding into a human-shaped blood mist. However, because the power of the Duke of Wuwei was too explosive, the blood mist remained in place, while the white horse of the Ming family was already lying on the ground, barely alive.
She was quite decisive; after suffering a fatal blow, she didn't cry out in pain, but instead mobilized her divine power again to prepare to hide and escape.
But this time.
She was finally a step too slow.
A large foot stomped hard on her head, and the brutal and terrifying force instantly made her spirit, which had been gathering divine power, tremble, and she could no longer exert her divine power.
This is the power of a semi-saint in the art of war.
He might not be able to quickly defeat a renowned master, but once the opponent takes a hit, he will basically have no power to resist.
"Say, who sent you?"
Without saying a word, Duke Wuwei interrogated her on the spot. Although Bai Ma was a woman, she was unusually cold and stern. Even when Duke Wuwei trampled her underfoot, she did not utter a sound, showing an attitude of being ready to die and absolutely not revealing any information.
"A seventh-tier assassin?" Duke Wuwei sneered.
"Then let me see just how stubborn you are."
"Chao Wu!"
"Your subordinate is here!" Chao Wu stepped forward from the crowd.
Duke Wuwei immediately ordered: "Take this stubborn assassin away and let her experience firsthand the methods of the military and legalist schools of Wuwei City."
Upon hearing the words "Legalist Shinto," the resolute gaze of the white horse of the Ming family flashed with panic, and he even desperately tried to kill himself.
Just a pity.
Duke Wuwei suddenly stomped down, and her bones and muscles broke instantly, leaving her unable to move even a little. Then, Chao Wu took out a giant net and bound her inside.
This is a Legalist divine method; no matter who the assassin is or what their purpose is, they will have nowhere to hide from now on.
Duke Wuwei didn't rush to interrogate the assassin, but instead turned his fierce gaze to Pei Yanzhou.
