Chapter 1266 - 1266: Ao Xiao's Decision

"I certainly will not regret it."

Daoist Venerable Lin Jing was not in a hurry; he even waved goodbye to them with a smile.

"Safe travels, you two!"

Seeing him continue his 'posturing,' Ao Xiao Daoist Venerable burned with anger inside.

"You just wait, you'll regret it!"

With that, he and Silver Quan Daoist Venerable flew towards the outskirts of Mowu Sect.

The two did not fly fast.

Because as for the Star Wave Bead, they were determined to obtain it.

They were waiting for Daoist Venerable Lin Jing to regret and then chase after them to apologize and admit defeat.

When that time came, they would surely give that hateful Sect Leader a good dose of humiliation, and then make even higher demands.

Don't think you can fool us with your pretenses.

We don't believe you dare to watch us leave with eyes wide open.

However, no matter how slowly they flew, they still did not wait for Daoist Venerable Lin Jing.

Right ahead lay the exit of Mowu Sect's mountain gate, and the two couldn't help but release their Divine Thought for a small probe.

They found that Daoist Venerable Lin Jing was astonishingly still at the rear, unmoved.

He had no intention of chasing after them to retain them.

This time, they realized the truth of the situation.

It turns out he genuinely meant to let them go.

This made their faces gradually scrunch into a bitter gourd, leaving them a bit at a loss.

"Damn, on what grounds does he have?"

"Where does he get the confidence to make us leave?"

Originally assured of victory, Silver Quan Daoist Venerable, who thought he had seen through everything, began to question his judgment.

"No, I have to go back and understand what's going on!"

Ao Xiao Daoist Venerable couldn't bear it any longer.

"What justification does Mowu Sect have for being so arrogant?"

If Lu Wen and Daoist Venerable Li Ye heard these words, they would surely feel quite innocent.

We followed along like lapdogs all the way, but you ignored and mocked us, and this counts as arrogance?

The two quickly flew back to the reception area, where everyone was lamenting and denouncing Sect Leader Lin Jing with faces as if they lost a beloved one.

It took a lot to invite two powerful allies here, and now you've let them go like this. What are we going to do?

Lin Jing couldn't very well bring Sect Leader Jiang out to demonstrate his combat prowess, all he could do was dryly promise that they would surely win the challenge in a few days.

Of course, this didn't convince all the Protectors and Elders.

Seeing the two Daoist Venerables return, everyone looked like people in despair finding a ray of hope again.

Just as they were about to step forward with apologies and show goodwill, Daoist Venerable Lin Jing stopped them again.

With a smile, he cupped his hands in greeting.

"Why are you two back again? Could it be that you left something behind?"

Silver Quan Daoist Venerable soon realized it.

This Sect Leader Lin Jing is also a Yin Yang Monster, and his level is hardly low compared to him.

Ao Xiao Daoist Venerable gritted his teeth and finally decided to take a small step back.

"Lin Jing, very clever of you; you saw through our little joke."

Silver Quan Daoist Venerable also pretended to be magnanimous and sighed.

"Forget it, we don't want to embarrass your Mowu Sect either. Let's just stay here."

With such a promising reward from the Star Wave Bead, the two of them were nowhere near willing to give up this lucrative task.

Even if it meant shamelessly sticking around!

Not to mention staying here; even living on a barren mountain at the foot of the gate was really acceptable for them.

Upon hearing that the two were willing to stay and had no plans to change quarters, Mowu Sect's Protectors and Elders were overjoyed.

"Excellent!"

"Hahaha, congratulatory news indeed!"

"You two Daoist Venerables truly have hearts of gold..."

However, their flattery had just begun when they were interrupted by Daoist Venerable Lin Jing.

"No, I'm not joking."

"Since you are quite dissatisfied with my Mowu Sect, I won't force it, as that would put you in a difficult position, wouldn't it?"

"Let's part amicably!"

With that, he waved goodbye to the two Daoist Venerables again.

Ao Xiao and Silver Quan's faces had already upgraded from bitter gourds to dark gourds.

Damn, we've even agreed to lower ourselves and stay without asking for anything else, yet you're not grateful and overjoyed?

You still want us to leave?

"Lin Jing, you old coot! What do you mean by this!" Ao Xiao Daoist Venerable was utterly enraged.

Daoist Venerable Lin Jing spread his hands with an innocent look.

"No particular meaning, just that I don't need you all."

He spoke blandly, "After all, my Mowu Sect is small, and it can't hold so many great Gods."

"Please, go!"

"What did you say?"

If this place were not in the internal grounds of Mowu Sect, and there weren't three other Daoist Venerables present, Ao Xiao Daoist Venerable probably wouldn't be able to resist striking out.

Silver Quan Daoist Venerable's Bai Mei trembled, all his wrinkles gathered at the corners of his eyes.

"Lin Jing, good, very good!"

"I am curious, where do you get the confidence to reject us?"

Daoist Venerable Lin Jing thought to himself that his confidence came from Sect Leader Jiang.

With him by his side, not to mention a mere challenge from Wuding Palace, even if a Celestial Emperor attacked, he wouldn't be afraid.

But with his words, he continued using Yin and Yang.

"Sigh, didn't I already say, our temple is small."

"We Mowu Sect don't have enough of the Star Wave Beads for ourselves; after careful consideration, they're hard to let go…"

The implied meaning was that they weren't worth the price.

"You!"

Silver Quan Daoist Venerable was so infuriated he was almost tempted to curse.

"It seems like you're indeed relying on something. We were meddling too much; fine, very fine!"

He laughed into the sky and, with fury, flew off into the distance.

Ao Xiao Daoist Venerable left a cold parting remark.

"Just you wait and see!"

He then also flew into the distance.

This time, they didn't slow down and truly left.

In the blink of an eye, the pair flew out of Mowu Sect's range, their faces remained somber, and they didn't speak a word all the way.

After flying for over half an hour, Silver Quan Daoist Venerable finally stopped.

"I don't know what Ao Xiao friend plans to do next?"

"What do you think?"

Ao Xiao Daoist Venerable's face was clouded with darkness, a murderous gleam flickered in his eyes.

"They seem to have forgotten a saying: it's easy to invite the Gods but hard to send them away!"

He slightly tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a sinister smile.

"I will teach them this lesson well."

His gaze was directed far away, in the direction of Wuding Palace.

Silver Quan Daoist Venerable asked slowly: "Do you intend to help Wuding Palace?"

"What else?"

"Mowu Sect dares to mock me like this; there is no longer any need for their existence."

Ao Xiao Daoist Venerable said coldly, "I will personally destroy them!"

"Those ten Star Wave Beads, they are mine, and they must be mine."

"If they don't give them to me, then I will take them myself!"

With that, he flew directly towards Wuding Palace.

And after contemplating for a moment, Silver Quan Daoist Venerable also followed.

Daoist Venerable Lin Jing did not know that the two 'allies' had just chosen to side with the enemy.

At this time, he was surrounded by Mowu Sect's Protectors and Elders.

"Sect Leader, why did you drive Ao Xiao Daoist Venerable and Silver Quan Daoist Venerable away?"

"Don't you know how dangerous the situation is?"

"What will we do now?"

"It's over; when facing that challenge, we no longer have any hope of victory."

The two Protectors, also Daoist Venerables, spoke more candidly in their accusations.

"This was completely a foolish act!"

"Lin Jing, are you trying to deliberately bring destruction upon our Mowu Sect?"

"You will become the number one sinner of your sect!"

Daoist Venerable Lin Jing, confident of victory, was not annoyed.

"With Sect Leader Jiang here, we don't need any other allies at all."
