Chapter 575
Page 575
After searching for a while, Lan Tian found a disciple he liked, but this disciple made him very conflicted, simply because he was—Ying Hongyue!
That's right. Ying Hongyue also likes to create clones. He's a cunning person with multiple escape routes. No one knows how many backup plans he has. What you see is only what he lets you see.
So, when Lan Tian saw the crimson moon, he was moved, but he hesitated to take action.
He could see Ying Hongyue's ambition and the power struggle among various forces around her. If he were to intervene, the situation would become even more complicated.
Furthermore, Ying Hongyue is clearly not someone who respects teachers and values morality. No matter how much she is taught, she will always be an ingrate and may very well turn against Lan Tian in the end.
But Ying Hongyue was just too perfect for Lan Tian. Lan Tian felt that, after searching the entire Silver Moon World, there was probably no one more suitable to be his disciple than Ying Hongyue.
Now, the pros and cons of whether or not to accept Ying Hongyue are laid out before him, and Lan Tian is somewhat conflicted.
If Ying Hongyue opposes him, opposes the Great Xuan King, opposes the Wen King and Su Yu, should he kill him or kill him?
Yes, Lan Tian could foresee that in the future, Ying Hongyue would inevitably stand on the opposite side of them, even though he might not be qualified.
To teach or not to teach?
The blue sky hides in the shadows, secretly observing the crimson moon.
Over there, Ying Hongyue frowned slightly, his eyes lowered, and he was somewhat wary. In the past few days, he had a feeling that he was being watched, but upon closer inspection, he found nothing.
He secretly wondered, who was it?
Red Moon Emperor, Zheng Yu, or perhaps the one on the moon?
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. With his current strength, no one would take him seriously. Whether it's Emperor Hongyue or Zheng Yu, who would keep an eye on him for several days in a row?
Ying Hongyue was very annoyed, but he couldn't show it. He still acted as if nothing was wrong every day.
Looking at his performance, Lan Tian nodded secretly, recognizing his potential as a ruthless leader.
Unfortunately, his ambitions were too high, but his fate was too fragile. No matter how much he schemed, he was like an ant in the face of overwhelming power and absolute strength.
"Oh well, never mind."
Lan Tian shook his head. He finally decided to give up. In any case, Ying Hongyue would be beaten to death by Yun Jie and the others sooner or later. Why should he teach her? It would be a waste of time. He should find someone else.
"What a pity, what a pity."
Blue Sky felt sorry for the crimson moon.
If Ying Hongyue could let go of his ambitions, Lan Tian wouldn't mind pointing him in the right direction, since the path he's on now is a dead end.
The Silver Moon World has been renamed Yun. Anyone who tries to control the Silver Moon World will be killed without exception, unless Yun Jie allows it.
Shaking his head again, Lantian quietly left.
"what."
Ying Hongyue let out a soft exclamation in her heart; the feeling of being watched had vanished!
He checked again and found that it was indeed gone. He breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was still not good. Over the past few days, he had tried to find out who it was, but he still couldn't figure out. This made him very angry.
At the same time, he felt as if something had left him.
He will never know that he missed a tremendous opportunity, an opportunity that could have saved him from death.
Even if Lantian abandons him, he will still not escape the fate of dying and disappearing in the future.
"Never mind, now that the surveillance is over, we can start our operation against Silver Moon!"
Some time ago, he reached an agreement with the two major organizations, Yanluo and Feixian, as well as the six sacred mountains, so that they could launch an attack on Silver Moon at any time. As long as they take Silver Moon, they will have the confidence to face the new dynasty.
In just one month, the new dynasty had completely recovered the central continent, and the eastern continent had also fallen. Now only the northern, southern, and western continents remained. No one knew where the new dynasty's next target would be. If it was the northern continent, then they were in trouble. They had to act quickly and could not delay any longer.
In fact, if it weren't for the sudden feeling of being monitored a few days ago, he would have already contacted all parties to take action.

Chapter 643 An Exorbitant Demand
······
Soon, with Ying Hongyue's command, messages were transmitted from the Red Moon Organization base.
Yama Organization Base, Flying Immortal Organization Base, Haotian Divine Mountain, Phoenix Divine Mountain... and so on.
After receiving the message, they said, "We've waited so long, it's finally about to begin."
Over this period of time, they didn't know how many times they had cursed Ying Hongyue in their hearts.
Because they hadn't received any notification from Ying Hongyue, they thought she had stood them up!
Now that there is definite news, all the major forces have mobilized, with their leaders personally leading their teams and bringing along their most elite subordinates.
Their idea was to send the entire army forward.
—A single battle will suffice!
With so many Silvermoon Ruins, the final distribution will depend on who is the strongest and contributes the most.
······
Over there, the three superpowered organizations and the six sacred mountains have just made their moves.
Meanwhile, Zhao Shuguang, Hou Xiaochen, and other senior executives of Silvermoon received the news.
Almost instantly, they made a unanimous decision.
"Meeting!"
A month later, Silvermoon's top executives gathered again. Unlike last time, this time, there was an "unfamiliar" face in the meeting room...
Kong Jie, the director of the Inspection Department, rushed to the meeting. As soon as he entered, his face darkened instantly. He strode forward to his throne and said through gritted teeth, "Get up! This is my seat!"
"Oh? This is your seat. I saw that no one was sitting here, so I sat down."
Kong Jie took a deep breath. "Then get up now."
The person in the seat picked at their ear, shifted their position, and said nonchalantly, "Sorry, I don't want to move."
Then, he tentatively asked, "How about you see if there are any other seats?"
"you……"
Kong Jie was so angry that she was practically fuming. Her fists clenched so tightly they cracked, her teeth were clenched, and the veins on her forehead bulged. She looked like she wanted to devour someone whole.
The man in the seat glanced at Kong Jie and said indifferently, "Hmm? You seem pretty unconvinced, kid. How about another round? No begging for mercy this time."
The moment the words "beg for mercy" were uttered, Kong Jie's expression changed instantly, her dark face turning from black to a bluish-red, truly a mixture of blue and red.
Inside the venue, everyone looked at Kong Jie with strange expressions.
They exchanged glances and whispered amongst themselves. Judging from their conversation, it seemed the two had once faced off.
However, since Kong Jie returned from Yincheng, he has never mentioned it. He didn't even talk about the specific details of when he invited Yuan Shuo, only saying, "Yuan Shuo agreed."
And then, that was it.
So, the two of them actually fought, and it's not hard to tell that Kong Jie lost the fight.
That's normal, though. Who is Kong Jie's opponent? It's Yuan Shuo, known in the martial arts world as the Five Animal King!
Yes, the person who took Kong Jie's seat at that moment was Yuan Shuo.
Well, it wasn't really a matter of seizing a seat. It's just that Yuan Shuo arrived early and saw four chairs in the middle, so he just sat down at random. Coincidentally, those were the seats representing the Four Guardians of the Silver Moon.
Zhao Shuguang, Hou Xiaochen, and Huang Yu also arrived relatively early, so naturally, Kong Jie's spot was taken.
Now, Kong Jie is asking Yuan Shuo to give up his seat, but Yuan Shuo is unlikely to do so.
What a joke! Doesn't Yuan Shuo have any pride? How could he possibly give up his seat in front of so many people? Besides, it's the seat of his defeated opponent, so there's even less chance he'd give it up.
The pride of the Five Animal Kings wouldn't allow him to do that.
Kong Jie glanced at Yuan Shuo, who was threatening him with words. He took a deep breath and decided not to bother with such a rogue. Then he moved a chair over from the side and forcefully placed himself between Yuan Shuo and Huang Yu.
Yuan Shuo said with dissatisfaction, "Why are you squeezing in? There are so many seats around, move aside."
Kong Jie pretended not to hear and completely ignored Yuan Shuo.
Yuan Shuo was immediately displeased and raised his foot to kick the chair under Kong Jie's buttocks.
Just then, Huang Yu spoke up, "That's enough, let him squeeze if he wants."
With just that one sentence, Yuan Shuo stopped in mid-air. He glanced at Huang Yu, only to see that the other party looked indifferent, as if he had said something unimportant.
Yuan Shuo's mind raced. The next second, he put his foot down and lightly placed it on the bar under Kong Jie's chair. He smiled at Huang Yu and said, "Alright, since you've asked, I'll give you face."
Huang Yu glanced at him and muttered to himself, "Stubborn scoundrel."
Yuan Shuo smiled and met his gaze.
Yuan Shuo knew Huang Yu's identity. Years ago, he broke into a military camp to challenge Huang Yu, only to find out later that Huang Yu had already advanced to the rank of Dou Qian. He was so frightened that he hurriedly ran away.
There was no way around it. He had mastered the Five Animal Frolics, but Huang Yu had also mastered the Frolics. In addition, Huang Yu was a Thousand-Strike Martial Master, while he was only a Hundred-Strike Martial Master. How could he possibly fight him?
Fortunately, Huang Yu didn't hold it against him at the time; otherwise, Huang Yu and his Wuwei Army could have hunted him down to death.
In addition, Yuan Shuo estimated that, apart from Kong Jie, the others present were all somewhat stronger than him.
After all, Zhao Shuguang, Hou Xiaochen, and Huang Yu were already Martial Masters of the Thousand Realms before the world was restored. Just think about it, in that era when energy was scarce, what kind of beings were those who could cultivate to the Thousand Realms? Now that the world has been restored, Huang Yu and the others hold high positions, so they certainly don't lack resources. You can imagine what their strength is now.
Yuan Shuo was certain that the three of them were no longer Dou Qian martial artists. He himself was a Dou Qian martial artist, but whether it was Zhao Shuguang, Huang Yu, or Hou Xiaochen, they all gave him a faint sense of threat. They were definitely not Dou Qian martial artists; they were at least Shan Hai martial artists!
However, it is currently impossible to determine the exact number of layers of mountains and seas. The three of them are hiding very well, so how could Yuan Shuo easily discover them?
However, according to Yuan Shuo's estimate, the highest level he could reach was the third level of the Mountain and Sea Realm; it was impossible to go any higher.
Even so, she is still much better than him.
There's nothing that can be done about it; if you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step. Plus, he's poor, so naturally he can't compare to Zhao Shuguang and the other two who hold high positions, and of course, there's Kong Jie too...
Kong Jie is far behind Zhao Shuguang and the others. She is currently at the critical point between Douqian and Shanhai, and she is probably only a few acupoints away from breaking through Shanhai.
However, he was still no match for Yuan Shuo. The "Five Animal Frolics" gave Yuan Shuo the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels. If he unleashed his full power, he could even defeat Kong Jie, who had advanced to the first level of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
However, there was one person on the field whom Yuan Shuo couldn't figure out.
Gradually, Yuan Shuo's gaze fell on Director Zhou, who was half a body length behind Zhao Shuguang. He could not sense any aura or internal strength from Director Zhou; the other party looked like an ordinary person.
But Yuan Shuo knew it was impossible; the person who could attend this meeting could not possibly be an ordinary person.
Don't you even look at the people here? How dare you sit here if you don't have some real power?
