Chapter 1324: Chapter 57: A Prophecy Fulfilled! [2-in-1!]
Bai Jing was well aware that Bi Changhong only admired Bi Yunyan among the younger generation of the Bi Family, yet he still deliberately said this. The meaning was clear: Bai Jing knew that although Yemo appeared to belong to his side from the sect perspective, he had a clear understanding of how the people here previously treated Yin Shen Palace.
There’s a coldness that cannot be warmed.
So, as a disciple of Yin Shen Palace, which camp Yemo would choose in the future was really hard to say, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he turned against Bai Jing’s sect.
Bi Changhong was the one who openly appreciated Yemo.
On the surface, Bai Jing seemed to be concerned about Yemo’s lifelong affairs, but he intentionally touched Bi Changhong’s sensitive spot to cut off Yemo’s future possibility of aligning with Bi Changhong.
As for Yan Nan, Bai Jing didn’t consider him.
Because Yan Nan was in charge of teaching affairs, no matter under whom he served, he would inevitably be dispatched by Yan Nan.
The current situation is: Yemo is already impossible to align with Xiang Beidou’s side, as a single Bei Mingxin is enough to block him.
As for Feng Du’s Feng Family, having won against Feng Yun this time, the path is blocked; today’s blockage at Bi Changhong’s side means that neither Yu Han Yan nor Xiong Jiang are possible.
The concerns are with Yan Beihan, the Chen Family, and the Wu Family, though the Wu Family doesn’t have much competitive strength.
Aligning with Yan Beihan won’t matter, as Bai Jing’s influence is precisely on the Yan Family’s side.
Then there’s only one option left: the Chen Family.
Bai Jing laughed and said, "I was just joking, didn’t expect Sixth Brother to come at me for it. Seems like there’s still a bit of animosity towards my Bai Family from Sixth Brother in the upcoming two-family dispute below."
Bi Changhong snorted with a dark face, not speaking.
These are two completely different matters.
This Bai Jing has too many schemes.
Doesn’t like talking to him.
Dragging Old Fellow into the pit with idle chatter.
"Let the youngsters fight it out themselves. We’ll drink on our own."
Bai Jing raised his teacup, "I’ve had a friendship of ten thousand years with Sixth Brother, how could we fight over this? If we really have to fight, I, as the younger brother, won’t fight back and let Sixth Brother punch me to vent."
Bi Changhong snorted, "You’re not brave enough to hit back!"
Bai Jing grinned, "Sixth Brother, have some tea."
As for Yan Nan’s comment about ’Yemo defeating Feng Yun with one move,’ the two people didn’t care, treating it as fleeting smoke.
That’s Yan Nan’s matter.
What’s it to us?
Bi Changhong said, "I wasn’t going to meddle in the affairs below, but tonight I’ve arranged to drink with Duan Xiyang, didn’t inform you all, so don’t come. I’ll have a good talk with Old Duan."
Yan Nan furrowed his brow with concern, "Be careful, your temperament is stable now, right? Don’t let him stab you."
"It should be fine."
Bi Changhong sighed, "In truth, Duan Xiyang knows better than anyone but he just won’t let it go."
Yan Nan and Bai Jing both laughed gleefully.
Then Yan Nan felt the time had dragged on enough to ’demonstrate the image of the Vice Sect Master handling countless affairs,’ and finally started responding to Yin Shen Palace.
"Let Yemo go and kill! This is only the first victory, and dragging along, not at all brisk, no need to report."
"Tell Yemo, Southeast is his and Feng Yun’s battlefield!"
"Understood."
Yin Shen Palace immediately showed it understood the meaning.
Yan Nan turned and asked Bai Jing, "Has the time for the Three Worlds passed?"
"Yes, it’s already beyond the expected time. The Guardian and the Outer World Mountain Sect people are also puzzled."
Bai Jing furrowed his brows, "Something doesn’t feel right about this."
"Why?"
"We can detect the Three Worlds, but one of them isn’t coming together, seemingly lacking energy, which is very strange. If one side doesn’t come together it won’t form a triangle, hence can’t connect to the Heavenly Centipede Star. This situation has never occurred before."
Bai Jing furrowed his brow, "This matter is truly baffling."
Yan Nan’s eyes lit up, "If it consistently can’t connect, then can the time stretch out?"
Bai Jing immediately shook his head, "Impossible. Because the Sect Master Level Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan will begin in less than a year. By that time, the Celestial Worm God can still descend with Divine Thought, and the connection won’t be interrupted."
"If deliberately dragging out the Three Worlds only interrupts for less than a year, Fifth Brother, this kind of thing is too disadvantageous."
Bai Jing and Bi Changhong both understood Yan Nan’s words, hence immediately reminded him.
Yan Nan fell silent.
Then said, "Since the time has come, there’s no point delaying, operate the array with full effort, facilitate the Three Worlds, and do our best. But if it still can’t connect, there’s nothing that can be done."
"I understand!"
Bai Jing said, "But now the mechanism is confused, all things are obscure and chaotic, unknowable; the Three Worlds are still rotating in the void, uncontrollable, even if it’s achieved, the future entrance location is already uncontrollable."
Yan Nan muttered angrily, "The consequences of Dongfang Sansan’s last desperate move really damningly troubled us, forcing Big Brother to defy heavens and fight against the gods, and now he’s in seclusion without emerging. Also, completely confusing and cutting off the Heaven’s mechanism... This old bastard is truly insane!"
Sighing, he said, "You go preside over it. When it’s time for the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan, let Changhong preside, that’s not an issue, right?"
"No issue."
The two nodded together.
Next, the three of them started chatting about strange tales and past experiences, without mentioning the turbulent and stormy struggle between the two major families outside.
...
Fang Che received the message from Yin Shen Palace while he was in Zhao Shanhe’s office, having completed the attack plan against Qinglong Gang.
"Disciple understands, then the disciple will start with a deadly move."
