Chapter 99: An Unrivaled Scheme

Around them, those who did not know the secret of the seven stone tablets remained as composed as ever. Some even thought the father and daughter unbearably dull. This was a sword manual handed down from the Sacred Domain, yet the pair were studying the carvings on the tablets.

Madness.

“They are heading toward the fifth tablet...”

Ning Yu’s delicate body trembled violently.

A moment later.

“They are heading toward the sixth tablet...”

Xian Lan’s jaw nearly hit the ground.

A little later still.

“They are heading toward the seventh tablet...”

Tantai Wushuang nearly screamed out loud.

She did not know how terrifying the sword intent emanating from the seventh tablet truly was. In any case, her best result had only been reaching the fifth tablet, and even then she had remained ten paces away from it.

At that distance, she could only endure in front of the fifth tablet for at most ten breaths.

Among the Great Evolution Venerables of the Sacred Domain, only with great effort could one reach the seventh tablet, and even then they had to stay ten paces away, lasting at most five breaths.

Yet this father and daughter before her had strolled right up to the seventh tablet with ease, making direct contact with it at point-blank range.

Even more absurdly, from beginning to end, neither of them seemed to feel the slightest trace of the sword intent radiating from the stone.

They had utterly crushed those Great Evolution Venerables of the Sacred Domain into dust.

Tantai Wushuang sat dazed upon the back of the snow-white exotic beast. No words could fully express the shock in her heart at that moment.

“Miss Tantai, I have already carefully examined all the carvings on these seven stone tablets.”

Chen Changsheng looked up at Tantai Wushuang in the air and shook his head in disappointment. “The carving technique on these seven tablets is really nothing much. I could completely overwhelm it.”

“Exactly.”

Chen Die'er also puffed out her tiny chest and said proudly, “Hmph! Daddy’s carving skills are so much better than this.”

“Oh.”

Tantai Wushuang recovered from her overwhelming shock, and her gaze toward Chen Changsheng and his daughter was now filled with reverence.

How terrifying. Within the thirty-six sacred nations of the Eastern Realm, there actually existed such an outrageous father and daughter.

Even a little girl could reduce the Great Evolution Venerables of the Sacred Domain to rubble!

And yet this Young Master Chen still called himself a mere mortal. His state of mind had clearly already returned to utter simplicity and naturalness. That kind of composure was truly on another level.

“Young Master Chen is so young, yet already a master of carving, with his skill reaching the summit. It is truly admirable!”

Tantai Wushuang had become exceedingly courteous toward Chen Changsheng. Her face held equal parts awe and admiration.

Clearly, she had already become his devoted little admirer.

For a powerhouse from the Sacred Domain to become Chen Changsheng’s little admirer was an absurd thing indeed.

The people around the Black Ice Battle Platform were all stunned. A Sacred Domain expert was actually being so polite to an ordinary man.

Reached the summit?

You haven’t even looked at my carving work, and you already say my skills have reached the summit?

Chen Changsheng recalled the scene from when he had first met Mu Wanqing and could not help but sigh inwardly. The women of this world all loved flattering others, but their flattery was really not very skillful, always landing on the horse’s hoof instead of the right place.

He shook his head and said, “Miss Tantai, you flatter me.”

“Heh.”

Tantai Wushuang gave a soft laugh, then changed the subject. “From what I can see, Young Master Chen has a good relationship with the princess of the Spring and Autumn Sacred Kingdom. May I ask whether, when the time comes, Young Master Chen will accompany her to the Sacred Domain?”

“Of course.”

Chen Changsheng did not think much and nodded at once.

At present, his greatest ambition was to enter the Sacred Domain, find the void gate that existed there, and then go on to the Realm of the Gods. With such a perfect opportunity right before him, how could he possibly let it slip away?

“Good. Then when the time comes, I shall welcome Young Master Chen’s arrival in the Sacred Domain.”

Tantai Wushuang was delighted and hurriedly cupped her fists toward him in salute.

“Miss Tantai, you are being too polite. I am merely a mortal.”

Chen Changsheng waved a hand, secretly sighing to himself. It seemed this Tantai Wushuang had received an excellent upbringing as well. As a Sacred Domain expert, she did not put on the slightest airs.

The crowd around them, however, was burning with envy. Let alone such courtesy; if Tantai Wushuang so much as glanced at them, they would be excited enough to lose sleep all night.

At the same time, they were utterly baffled. This Young Master Chen was only a mortal, yet Tantai Wushuang treated him with such respect and courtesy?

Could it be that Tantai Wushuang was one of those who judged by appearances, and because this Young Master Chen was handsome, she had fallen head over heels?

Tantai Wushuang smiled. Her heart was already brimming with anticipation. This father and daughter, Chen Changsheng and Chen Die'er, had to be brought over at all costs and made into her friends.

Then, for the moment, she set this matter aside and sent a voice transmission to Donggong Qianxue: “Donggong Qianxue, do you know why I advised you just now to share the Seven Reversal Forms?”

Donggong Qianxue was taken aback and quickly replied by voice transmission, “Please enlighten me, Miss Tantai.”

“Because your Spring and Autumn Sacred Kingdom is about to face a great calamity,” Tantai Wushuang said slowly.

Donggong Qianxue: “...”

“You slew their crown prince, and Young Master Chen destroyed their national treasure. Now that the national treasure of the Baidan Sacred Kingdom has been ruined, that kingdom will inevitably decline very quickly,” Tantai Wushuang said. “Therefore, their next move will certainly be to strike before their power wanes further. They will throw everything they have into annihilating your Spring and Autumn Sacred Kingdom, seizing your territory, and competing for your national treasure. That is the only way they can turn the present situation around.”

After a pause, she continued, “Although you have already gained the qualification to enter the Sacred Domain, at most you can only be considered half a person of the Sacred Domain. In a situation like this, the Sacred Domain will absolutely not intervene directly to help. So you will have to resolve this huge trouble with the Baidan Sacred Kingdom yourselves.

At present, we do not know exactly how strong the Baidan Sacred Kingdom is, so you must make full preparations.

And the reason I gave you the Seven Reversal Forms sword manual was precisely to let you use it to win over the other sacred kingdoms, bringing them to your side. In that way, dealing with the Baidan Sacred Kingdom will be foolproof.”

“Hiss...”

Donggong Qianxue drew in a light breath.

This Tantai Wushuang was truly too intelligent, her schemes terrifyingly meticulous. In utter silence, she had already laid out such a plan, helping the Spring and Autumn Sacred Kingdom win over the other thirty-four sacred kingdoms of the Eastern Realm to deal with the Baidan Sacred Kingdom.

“Thank you for your assistance, Miss Tantai. Qianxue knows what to do now.”

Donggong Qianxue thanked Tantai Wushuang, then said loudly, “As Miss Tantai said just now, this Seven Reversal Forms can be shared, and I also think that a sword manual inherited from the Sacred Domain is something very worth sharing with everyone. Such an unparalleled sword manual would be no fun at all if I kept it to myself.

So next, I intend to share this sword manual with all the princes and princesses who attended the Splendor Banquet earlier.”

“Donggong Qianxue, are you serious?”

The princes and princesses who had previously attended the banquet immediately lit up with excitement and joy.

This was a sword manual passed down from the Sacred Domain. Even if one could comprehend only a little of it, the benefits would be immense.

“Of course.”

Donggong Qianxue nodded slowly. “All princes and princesses who attended this banquet earlier may come forward one by one to comprehend this peerless sword manual. Of course, how much each of you can understand will depend on your own fortune.”
