Chapter 492 True plan revealed (2)
Feng Mo opened and closed his mouth several times, but all this did was cause him to cough out another mouthful of blood.
He had become this agitated just because of a few words from General Lu and that had provoked his already unstable state, causing his internal injuries to worsen and him to cough out blood.
But that still wasn't the worst part of it all.
Since there was no need for them to keep this Feng Mo alive, it was finally time to take down this ancestor of the Gale Sect and erase the Gale Sect from the history books.
General Lu looked at Elder Jian and said, "Elder, let me take care of this. There's no need for you to personally dirty your hands."
Elder Jian looked down at Feng Mo on the ground before turning back to General Lu and giving a nod.
When Feng Mo heard this, he felt a chill run down his spine.
This entire time, he thought that he would be saved by some kind of miracle. Either by the other sects or by the Five Great Sects…
But now that things had reached this point, it was impossible for him to deny the reality that was in front of him.
Feng Mo opened his mouth to say, "Wait! Don't!"
However, before he could say anything else, General Lu's sword had already fallen down. It cut right through Feng Mo's neck now that he wasn't able to gather any spiritual energy to protect himself and lopped his head off.
Of course, that alone wouldn't be enough to destroy a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator.
Once a cultivator reached the Nascent Soul Realm, they formed a Nascent Soul that was like a second soul for them. This greatly increased the power and tenacity of their soul, making it even harder for them to truly die.
Unless the soul was destroyed, the fragment that came from the body would be enough to revive the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.
They could either reform a body through some special means or they could take over a body, killing the soul that was already inhabiting that body.
The soul of a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator was even stronger than that and it would be able to easily find a body before returning to their peak.
So if this soul escaped, it wouldn't take long for Feng Mo to revive.
The soul came out of Feng Mo's body as soon as his head was lopped off and it tried to run. However, General Lu was already prepared for this and had already swung his sword out at the soul trying to fly away.
Even though he was only a soul now, Feng Mo had been a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator. This soul was powerful and could defend itself against attacks…but there was still a problem.
That was because a portion of his soul had already been destroyed in the fight against Elder Jian.
With this remaining portion, it wasn't enough to defend him against General Lu's attack.
So in the end, General Lu's sword cut right through Feng Mo's defenses and shattered his soul.
In his final moments, Feng Mo could only feel regret over what had happened in his life.
He had done all that he could to become a powerful cultivator, but there were no opportunities for him. He had wanted to join the Five Great Sects, but there had been greater geniuses that had outshined him.
So in the end, he could only create the Gale Sect in this Mu Empire with his brothers.
But in the end, his Gale Sect was destroyed and he was killed.
Just what had gone wrong in his life?
After taking care of Feng Mo, General Mo went over to Feng Mo's corpse.
After getting a nod of agreement from Elder Jian, he took Feng Mo's Storage Ring and presented it to Mu Bao Bao.
Mu Bao Bao couldn't help being surprised at being offered this.
She didn't look at General Lu since she already knew his attitude, but she looked at Elder Jian.
She found that Elder Jian was already looking at her and with a smile, he gave a nod to show that she was free to take this.
The Storage Ring of a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator, the enticement of this wasn't small…
So in the end, she still took the Storage Ring.
She turned to Elder Jian again and cupped her hands to him to show her gratitude.
Elder Jian just casually waved his hand, but then he narrowed his eyes when he saw what she did next.
Mu Bao Bao didn't take this Storage Ring for herself, but presented it to Lin Fan.
She knew that the treasures that Feng Mo had would definitely be useful to the Love Sect and right now, Lin Fan was the sect master of the Love Sect. So she handed this Storage Ring to him so that he could safeguard and distribute these treasures later.
Lin Fan accepted this Storage Ring, but he could feel the cold gaze that was on him.
It was coming from Elder Jian.
He didn't know why Elder Jian was so respectful to Mu Bao Bao, but that didn't extend to him. It was clear that Elder Jian was very unhappy to see that Mu Bao Bao was this close to him…
But why would he be unhappy about that?
Still, it wasn't as if Lin Fan could get a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator like this to speak…so he could only accept it and move on.
General Lu was also displeased, but he didn't say anything.
Instead, he asked, "Your highness, what should we do with the treasury of the Gale Sect?"
Mu Bao Bao looked at Lin Fan before saying, "Hand it all over to the Love Sect."'
General Lu wasn't as opposed this time since he already knew the story of the Love Sect. This was included in the package on Mu Bao Bao that he had received from Emperor Mu.
At the same time, he felt gratitude towards the Love Sect for raising Mu Bao Bao, so he was glad that he would be able to give something back to them.
Lin Fan heard this and then had Senior Brother Ying come over.
After telling him to loot the treasury of the Gale Sect, Senior Brother Ying couldn't help looking cautiously at both General Lu and Elder Jian. He could feel the aura coming from the two of them, so he knew just how strong the two of them were.
But seeing that neither of them said a thing, he cupped his hands and went to lead the rest of the Love Sect members to loot the treasury.
After the matter of cleaning up the Gale Sect was finished, Mu Bao Bao turned to question General Lu.
"You said that all of the other sects were destroyed? Is this true?" Mu Bao Bao asked in a serious voice that had a trace of doubt in it.
General Lu just gave a calm nod and said, "According to the plan, after we started our attack on the Gale Sect, the other armies should have started their attacks on the other sects that were against the Mu Royal Family. I had made sure to send the signal right as we started the attack, so the other armies should have received it and started their attack. Right now, they should be finishing up their battles on the other battlefields."
Both Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao knitted their brows again when they heard this.
After all, they finally realized what Emperor Mu's plan was.
Somehow, he had gathered enough troops to attack all of the sects that tried to interfere with the matters of the Mu Royal Family. Once these sects were taken care of, the princes that were supported by these sects would no longer have any power.
Once everything settled, only the Mu Empire's army would have power in the Mu Empire and Mu Bao Bao wouldn't have anyone competing against her for the throne.
But there were still two big problems that they could see.
The first was naturally the Five Great Sects.
After all, it was the Five Great Sects that had forced Emperor Mu to form relations with all of these sects in the first place. They had done it to weaken Emperor Mu's power so that they could gain benefits from the Mu Empire.
This was something that Emperor Mu had personally told them about, so it couldn't be false.
If Emperor Mu were to go through with this plan, there was no doubt that the Five Great Sects wouldn't remain idle.
Once Emperor Mu's plan succeeded, they would lose control over the Mu Empire.
So they would surely come once the sects were defeated.
Second, it was where Emperor Mu had found the experts to defeat the sects in the first place.
The Mu Empire's power had been weakened, so there was no way that Emperor Mu would have enough power to defeat the sects. Even if he had been planning since he ascended to the throne, it was impossible for him to gather all of these experts in this short amount of time.
Cultivators would take a long time to reach this level of cultivation, it wasn't something that could happen within a single generation of an empire.
So he must have relied on outside help to bring in these experts to fight the sects.
But that would present another danger since this outside help would expect something in return.
This meant that the Mu Empire would face both this outside help and the Five Great Sects in the future.
There was no way that Emperor Mu wouldn't be able to see this.
