Chapter Sixty-Six: Promotion and Preparation for Battle (Third Update)
"Climbing a mountain of blades and diving into a pot of boiling oil won't be necessary." A cold look crept into Myriad Ghost Ancestor's eyes. "After this, once Withered Bone learns the truth, he and his disciple will surely hate Myriad Ghost Cave to the bone. Rather than wait for him to grow powerful enough to strike at us, we should cut him down early."
"This disciple understands." Even without Myriad Ghost Ancestor saying so, Lei Dong knew he could never let Baili Yun grow into a threat. Since their feud had become irreconcilable, a life-and-death conflict between them was only a matter of time. Still, his face clouded with worry. "But Elder Tu... I'm afraid it'll be difficult to explain things to him."
"Elder Tu has already made it clear: we absolutely cannot strike in secret. If anything happens to Baili Yun, even if Myriad Ghost Cave had nothing to do with it, Elder Tu's temper means he won't let the matter rest." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Myriad Ghost Ancestor's eyes. "But the sect's Grand Competition, held once every ten years, is only two years away. When you encounter him then, he certainly won't let you go. You can take the opportunity to eliminate him. It would be disastrous for Myriad Ghost Cave if he were allowed to grow powerful."
"You want me to enter the ten-year Grand Competition, Ancestor?" Lei Dong's face stiffened, and he gave a helpless laugh. "This disciple is only at the Sixth Layer of the Qi Refining Stage. I'm probably the weakest of all the Personal Disciples. Aren't you sending me to my death?"
"Get lost! Don't think I don't know what you're capable of." Myriad Ghost Ancestor scolded him without mercy.
