Chapter 175: Sky Tower Cannot Be Allowed!
In another room, Ao Xieyun suddenly realized, “Blade and Sword Maniac?”
Beside him, the three throne experts simultaneously brightened their eyes, their entire bodies shivering.
“Sun and moon share the same light, the dual saints of blade and sword!” Ao Xieyun took a deep breath, “If this is true, then… this matter is truly extraordinary!”
Without waiting for the three throne experts to voice their opinions, he waved his hand and said, “However, until we are certain, we must be cautious! We absolutely cannot reveal our intentions.” He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, “That Young Master Chu may not be telling the whole truth; his stance, while it can be seen as a test, can also be interpreted as a bait to lure us in.”
“Under no circumstances can we act carelessly.” Ao Xieyun cautioned, “You must not be too excited, nor impulsive. The more critical the situation, the more cautious we must be! Every word you say, every cough you make; every action you take, even a single step… think it through! Understand?”
“If it’s not the Flame Sun Blade and Nether Moon Sword left by the Blade and Sword Maniac, then this matter could be a plot! And this plot targets the major noble families of Central Three Heavens. If that’s the case, we must not allow the schemers to succeed!”
Ao Xieyun slowly paced back and forth, his voice growing calm and deep: “But if it truly is the Flame Sun Blade and Nether Moon Sword left by the Blade and Sword Maniac… then this matter becomes a great vortex! Once we step in, we might drag down the fortunes of Central Three Heavens as well! But it also presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
“Be careful, be prudent! Go to… the utmost!” Ao Xieyun took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light: “But regardless of whether it’s true or false, this is a game! And we still do not know who is behind this scheme. Such an opponent is worth all my effort!”
Mo Tianyun awoke from his contemplation, frowning and speaking in a low but certain tone, “If the sun and moon shining together is true, then it must be the Flame Sun Blade and Nether Moon Sword left by the Blade and Sword Maniac! Back then, the Blade and Sword Maniac confronted the Three Star Holy Clan and never returned! His two peerless divine weapons also vanished without a trace…”
“In legend, when the Flame Sun Blade and Nether Moon Sword meet, unusual phenomena appear, but alone, they are unremarkable. When the two divine weapons encounter each other, they can unveil the great secrets of the Flame Sun Blade and Nether Moon Sword, achieving invincible prowess! And the Blade and Sword Maniac climbed the path of dual saints with the Flame Sun Blade and Nether Moon Sword!”
“If we can obtain the Flame Sun Blade and Nether Moon Sword, then my position in the Mo Family cannot be shaken by even a thousand Mo Tianji! Moreover, the Mo Family can dominate Central Three Heavens, ascend to Upper Three Heavens, and compete for a position among the nine great aristocratic families!”
The more he thought, the hotter Mo Tianyun's heart became.
“However, this matter must be approached with extreme caution. We cannot afford any carelessness.” Mo Tianyun murmured to himself, his soft eyes flashing with a determined look: “If this truly escalates into competition, then my opponents will be the Ink Blade Clan, the Ao Clan… everyone else is not a concern!”
After all, he was different from Ao Xieyun.
Although their intellects were similar, their situations were entirely different.
As the already determined first heir of the Ao Clan, Ao Xieyun's position was solid, allowing him to maintain a clear mind amidst such great temptations, calculating the pros and cons, and determining how to respond.
In an instant, he had already extended his thoughts to the question of success and failure, and regardless of how things progressed, he had devised a strategy.
But Mo Tianyun, although he was the eldest young master, held an unstable position, keeping a watchful eye on his brother Mo Tianji, who was equally talented and ready to take his place at any time.
