The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Chapter 119 Scheming to Seize the Opportunity

Ye Ling nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to them, as if she had thought of something, and a hint of an indescribable smile flashed in her eyes.

“Our sect is not in this Realm of the Azure Sky, and we do not have a place to settle down for the time being, but that is not something you need to worry about. When the opportunity comes, everything will naturally emerge.”

"Therefore, your biggest problem right now is the lack of experience, especially for Yu Youqing. Yun Lang, you need to guide him well and let him gain experience outside for a period of time."

"Furthermore, you need to go to a certain place first before you can return home to handle your family matters. I will give you ample time, but afterwards, you must wholeheartedly follow me on this training journey."

Yu Youqing and Xie Yunlang exchanged a glance, then Xie Yunlang gently shook his head. Both of them looked at Ye Ling with a hint of curiosity on their faces.

Ye Ling smiled slightly, a profound meaning in her eyes, and looked at them, saying, "I intend for you to accomplish a task: to travel to a secret realm and seize something—an opportunity that belongs to two people!"

"An opportunity!" Yu Youqing and Xie Yunlang exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with surprise. Their shock stemmed from the astonishing nature of the news.

It's important to understand that opportunities are intangible, colorless, and elusive, yet they are crucial. Everyone's destiny and fortune are unique, and their opportunities also differ.

But today, someone actually told them to go and steal the opportunity that belonged to the two of them. This is simply unbelievable; if word gets out, it will definitely cause a huge uproar, and might even trigger a storm!

If it were truly possible to seize opportunities from others, just imagine how tempting that would be. Such a powerful attraction would unleash a bloodbath throughout the cultivation world.

Ye Ling knew, of course, how shocking her words were, but she wouldn't tell them her biggest secret, much less that she knew how things were going to go. That's when her hands-off mentor came in handy.

"No need to think about it. This is a secret technique of our sect that allows us to glimpse the secrets of heaven. Your grandmaster told me about it. These two have used some secret technique to steal the fortune of others, including mine. Although my fortune is no longer being lost, it has not been fully recovered. We must not allow these two to grow stronger, otherwise they will become a major threat to us, and even the destruction of our sect will be closely related to them. We must not be careless at this time."

"You two have extraordinary luck, so it's the perfect time to seize their opportunities. This is also a way to dissipate the luck they're trying to steal. Once their luck is gone, they'll lose their usefulness and won't be a problem for us anymore."

After Ye Ling finished speaking, she took out a recording stone from her space and projected the images of the two people. It turned out that the two people were Shen Tingxue and Long Ting.

Ye Ling said, "These two are closely related to the future disasters of the cultivation world, and also directly related to the calamities of our sect. The powerful force behind them is our enemy. Therefore, you two must be especially careful with them and never easily clash with them, let alone confront them head-on."

"If we're not careful, we can be deceived by them and have our luck stolen by them. In that case, the entire cultivation world will be plunged into chaos, and we will all become sacrifices. So we must not let our guard down."

"The reason I sent you two is because I have other matters to attend to. If I cannot arrive in time, you must find a way to prevent them from obtaining that opportunity, even if it means handing it over to someone else. We must not let these two get away with it. Otherwise, the more help they have, the greater the threat they will pose to us in the future." Ye Ling's voice was solemn and serious, and his gaze fell on the two of them, revealing a firm determination.

Xie Yunlang frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He looked at the old man before him and respectfully asked, "Master, rest assured, You Qing and I will do our utmost to complete the mission. But could you please tell us where that secret realm is? And what exactly is that opportunity?"

Ye Ling also raised her head, her eyes filled with apprehension, as if she had already guessed the answer. She stared at Xie Yunlang, her lips slightly parted, and said, word by word, "The Boundless Secret Realm. Located in the Boundless Mountains of Canglan Prefecture, it will open in three months. And the opportunity this time is two semi-divine artifacts, namely the Azure Azure Sword and the Abyss Sinking Sword."

Xie Yunlang was shocked upon hearing this. He knew what a semi-divine artifact meant; it was an extremely precious and powerful treasure.

Obtaining such a treasure would undoubtedly be a huge boost for them. However, faced with such a precious opportunity, he couldn't help but feel immense pressure.

"You two must seize these two swords. Even if you can't take them by force, make sure they don't fall into the hands of those two. If they are taken by others, you absolutely cannot give them to them!" Ye Ling's tone became increasingly stern. She stared intently at Xie Yunlang and Yu Youqing, her eyes flashing with determination.

Xie Yunlang and Ye Ling exchanged a glance, both seeing the same resolute determination in each other's eyes. They understood that this mission was of paramount importance; failure would have unimaginable consequences. But they did not back down; instead, a strong fighting spirit surged within them.

"Yes, Master!" Xie Yunlang replied solemnly. He took a deep breath, determined to go all out to seize those two and a half divine artifacts, no matter the cost. Yu Youqing nodded silently, indicating his support for Xie Yunlang's decision.

With their mission clarified, Xie Yunlang and Yu Youqing began preparing for action. They needed to quickly understand the situation in the Boundless Secret Realm and formulate a detailed plan. At the same time, they also needed to improve their strength to cope with any potential challenges.

"Remember, you must not let them know your identities, nor can you let the people behind them notice. Also, if you can strike in secret, do so secretly. Do not confront them head-on unless absolutely necessary. Even if their cultivation is inferior to yours, you must never fight them directly."

Yu Youqing and Xie Yunlang exchanged a glance, both seeing a serious look in each other's eyes. They replied in unison, "Understood."

Ye Ling nodded and said, "This mission is very important. The two people you are dealing with are extremely dangerous. Even if your cultivation is higher than theirs, you cannot be careless. They are both treacherous and cunning, and they are good at using all sorts of means to achieve their goals."

Yu Youqing and Xie Yunlang were shocked, realizing the seriousness of the matter. Forcibly seizing one's fortune—this technique sounded extremely sinister, and the most terrifying kind at that.

To drain the luck of others to achieve one's own ends is utterly depraved and outrageous. They couldn't help but feel a deep disgust and aversion towards Shen Tingxue and Long Ting.

Ye Ling continued, "Remember, the jade tokens I gave you can not only be used for location tracking, but also for transmitting information. You can imprint your divine sense into them to transfer detailed information. However, please note that this information is shared and can be seen by everyone holding the token. Therefore, unless it is particularly urgent, try not to use it to transmit messages. In the future, other disciples will definitely form this habit, and if the information becomes chaotic, important information may be missed."

"Oh, right, the disguise items are also in the jade tablet. You can find them yourselves. There are also some life-saving pills inside. Remember, your life is very important. If you encounter danger, throw everything out of there. If you can't kill them, use things to kill them. Just don't die in there!" Ye Ling stood up, put her hands on her hips, and revealed a hint of authority in her eyes.

She looked at the two people in front of her and said firmly, "Remember what I said, don't put yourself in a desperate situation. If you really can't escape, find a way to save your life. I don't want to see either of you get hurt or die."

The two nodded, indicating they understood. They knew Ye Ling was concerned for them and also reminding them to remain vigilant at all times. After all, this mission was fraught with danger and challenges, and a slight mistake could cost them their lives.

Ye Ling nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Now that you've eaten and drunk your fill, take care of those annoying bugs and head to your destination! You can also choose to train along the way. Remember, you must arrive there three months in advance, scout the location, and make preparations. I will contact you if I arrive."

These so-called "bedbugs" naturally refer to certain people! Ye Ling was startled as soon as she entered the city. Ye Ling is also a vengeful person. If she can't handle it herself, why not let someone capable of handling it do it? Ye Ling now feels that her decision was extremely wise!

Upon hearing this, Yu Youqing and Xie Yunlang immediately nodded in agreement.

Although these young people lack experience, they have a strong thirst for knowledge and courage, and Ye Ling believes that they will definitely grow into outstanding talents through future experiences.
