Chapter 1592: Chapter 1592: Ouyang Mo, You This Sneak!
All of this came too abruptly, catching all three parties completely off guard and causing severe casualties from the outset. In particular, the people of Jiuzhou Sect, who were originally not strong, except for Nie Fei, were almost entirely wiped out.
Neither the people from Yandang Ridge nor those from Qingcheng Sect fared much better. These three camps occupied over half of Ring Canyon and were located right at the entrance of the canyon, bearing the brunt of the attack. Within Yandang Ridge, two individuals of great strength were protecting Yanming as they retreated towards the cliff. Qingcheng Sect followed suit, seeking shelter by the cliff, while the others fought back valiantly. But the group of magical beasts had lost all rationale and outnumbered them, and even though the two groups of humans had more Lord Level Powerhouses among them, they were at a disadvantage over time.
“Companions of Iron Wind Mountain, rush up now, after we get the Fire Flower, we’ll share it between our two families!”
Just as the entire camp was falling into a state of disaster, a squad suddenly burst out from the darkness. One of them was shouting as they emerged, but instead of aiding the humans, they joined the magical beasts in slaughtering the Three Major Sects.
The people of Iron Wind Mountain were stunned for a moment, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to charge into battle at any second. However, their Young Master had not given an order yet, and the people were uncertain whether they should join the fight.
Upon hearing these words, Nie Fei and the others seemed to understand something and turned to look at Ouyang Mo with a hateful expression in their eyes, almost as if they could devour him whole.
Ouyang Mo cleared his throat. The faces of the other party were all covered, and although he knew it might be them, he couldn’t be sure and instead said calmly, “My friends, I do not understand what you are talking about; I do not remember knowing you!”
“The Young Master indeed has a short memory!” The leader of the other party, gripping a dagger, struck swiftly, and a person from Yandang Ridge fell among the swarm of magical beasts and was immediately devoured. This person turned their head, a silver mask on their face, “Has the Young Master forgotten our agreement? Heh, if the Young Master is benevolent at heart and misses this opportunity, don’t compete with me for the Fire Flower later.”
“Ouyang Mo, you lowlife!” Nie Fei could no longer suppress her anger and berated him, “Last night you agreed with us to take down Wuling Sect together, what is the meaning of this now?”
Ouyang Mo, scolded in such a manner and losing face in front of everyone in Mandala Land, became furious. If he had actually done those things, he might have let it go. But he had not, and he didn’t expect Nie Fei to be so foolish as to reveal their plans offhandedly.
Indeed, one cannot co-operate with women. For Jiuzhou Sect to rely on Nie Fei and aspire to regain their former glory was pure folly.
“Nie Fei, do not spout nonsense!” retorted Ouyang Mo.
But he did not deny conspiring with the other Three Major Sects. Zhang Xi was no fool either, and upon realizing this, became enraged. Swinging his sword fiercely at someone from Yandang Ridge, he felt no guilt whatsoever, not finding Beiting Huang’s framing and entrapment to be ignoble, “Ouyang Mo, you scoundrel, are you not going to take action? Or do you intend to reap the benefits without lifting a finger?”
At this point, Xie Pu and Yanming, though reluctant to believe that Ouyang Mo would betray them while allied with them, had to face the truth upon seeing that the magical beasts were only charging their camps and attacking their people. They had indeed been sold out and were unwittingly helping count the money.
