I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1199 - 739: Eight Trials, Their Own Choices

"Mo Tushan, what is the meaning of this?"
Standing before the Immortal Palace, Yu Jian threw the question out with an indifferent expression.
Qing Xii remained at his side, while the disciples from both the Sky-breaking Sword Sect and the Kongming Sect stood behind them, ready for battle.
Mo Tushan was currently leading the disciples of the Black and White Temple, directly obstructing their path.
Other nearby powers maintained a safe distance, observing the confrontation with various hidden agendas, showing no intention of stepping in.
To those watching, it would be ideal if these major Sects engaged in a bloody struggle, as it would mean fewer rivals to compete with.
"There is no special reason. You spent quite a bit of time barking happily outside my closed-door Cultivation palace back then. I was busy refining my Divine Skill and lacked the time to deal with you. Now, the time has come to settle that debt."
Mo Tushan stood there with a lazy posture, appearing completely unbothered.
"How amusing. You hid inside that palace like a turtle, too terrified to show your face, and now you have the nerve to provoke us. I take it you have finished refining your Demon Treasure, and that is the source of your arrogance?" Qing Xii spoke with a cold tone.
Her remark caused Mo Tushan’s eyes to squint slightly.
After a brief moment of reflection, he realized exactly where the leak had come from.
That day, his mind and spirit had been rattled by that Five Tribulations brat, causing him to forget to execute those heavily wounded Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators.
Yu Jian and the others must have extracted the information from them.
Although he was irritated, Mo Tushan kept his face devoid of emotion.
With a chilling sneer, he said: "Enough talk. Since you had the audacity to mock the Black and White Temple, have you decided how you wish to die?"
As he spoke, a terrifying aura erupted from Mo Tushan’s body.
"I am not intimidated by you!"
Qing Xii gave a cold cry as a sharp, fierce Sword Intent surged from her person as well.
The collision of their two auras sent out a shockwave that made the eyelids of other nearby experts twitch in surprise.
"Are they truly going to trade blows?!"
Seeing this development, the other watching factions were stunned.
They had assumed these Sects were merely putting on a show of force, but it now appeared a genuine clash was imminent.
It was important to remember that the Immortal Palace was on the verge of opening, offering a massive opportunity for exploration.
What shocked them even more was that Mo Tushan was bold enough to face two major Sects like the Sky-breaking Sword Sect and the Kongming Sect by himself.
Where did such confidence originate? Was it truly because of the Demon Treasure Qing Xii mentioned?
Once the initial shock faded, however, the crowd began to look forward to the fight.
As the saying goes, whether it was the Black and White Temple or the alliance of the Sky-breaking Sword Sect and the Kongming Sect, their collective power was formidable.
If these giants truly fought, they would undoubtedly drain each other's strength regardless of who won.
Such an outcome would only benefit the bystanders.
"Clan Leader, what are our orders?"
From a position on the far edge of the area, an Elder sent a voice transmission to ask.
"Stay and watch," the middle-aged man dressed in the Purple Dragon Robe replied calmly. "This is an excellent opportunity to discover what hidden trump cards these major Sects are holding."
Had it been before, the man in the Purple Dragon Robe might have felt anxious about being caught in the crossfire.
However, having attained the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit, he possessed absolute confidence in his own power. His perspective had shifted entirely, and he now watched the events with the detachment of a mere spectator.
He was certain that no matter how violently these Sects clashed, he would be the one to emerge as the final victor.
Even so, he was intrigued by what gave Mo Tushan the guts to challenge two Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit experts of equal rank.
"Oh? Do you intend to settle your grudges here before the Immortal Palace even opens?"
Just as the fight was about to break out, a mocking voice suddenly echoed through the air.
Everyone turned their heads to see Hei Ming and Peach Fairy walking toward them side by side.
Following behind them were the disciples of the Netherworld Palace and the Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal.
It was obvious that these two Sects had also formed a partnership.
The arrival of Hei Ming’s group caused the suffocating atmosphere to suddenly freeze.
Mo Tushan’s eyes narrowed and his gaze darkened significantly when he saw Hei Ming and Peach Fairy approaching together.
He asked coldly, "What is this, Hei Ming? Does your Netherworld Palace intend to interfere as well?"
"Of course," Hei Ming replied without a second thought. "I owe Brother Yu Jian for his previous help, so I am obligated to assist him."
Hei Ming then turned to Yu Jian and suggested, "Brother Yu Jian, I have an idea. Why don't our various factions team up and wipe out these Black and White Temple runts first? What do you think?"
These words sent a wave of shock through the disciples of the Black and White Temple.
If the four factions on the opposing side actually united, it would be a disaster for them.
Even if Brother Tushan had mastered a supreme treasure, it would be nearly impossible to withstand such a force.
Even the billowing Demonic Qi surrounding Mo Tushan flickered slightly as he looked toward Yu Jian.
To everyone's surprise, Yu Jian shook his head in refusal.
"Our Sky-breaking Sword Sect will never associate with the forces of the Evil Path. Give up on that idea."
"That is correct. We of the Kongming Sect place no trust in you Evil Demons. Who can say what foul plot you are hatching!" Qing Xii added coldly.
"Haha!" At that moment, Mo Tushan felt a sense of relief and burst into loud laughter. "Brother Hei Ming, I told you before—why bother offering your friendship to these so-called Righteous Sects only to be met with their cold arrogance?"
"I have a better suggestion: why don't our three Sects join forces and wipe out the Sky-breaking Sword Sect and the Kongming Sect instead?"
"Your Black and White Temple is far too erratic; I do not trust you either," Hei Ming replied, shaking his head just the same. "Furthermore, as I said, Brother Yu Jian was kind to me, so I will not move against him."
Mo Tushan then shifted his gaze toward Peach Fairy.
Quite unexpectedly, the alluring beauty simply gave an enchanting smile and said, "I shall follow the lead of Brother Hei Ming."
This display caused Mo Tushan’s expression to turn even more frigid.
