Chapter 798 -474: Endless Evil A Luo_2
His only reliance, which he could make use of, was the array, coupled with the five million top-grade Spirit Stones in his hand; there was still a chance to turn the tide of battle. Once, he had slain members of the Holy See with tens of millions of ordinary Spirit Stones; now, tens of millions of top-grade Spirit Stones could also deal with a Saint Emperor.
Logan remembered that among the more than a hundred forces that came to Heavenly Moon City to participate in the martial competition, more than half had entered the city to rest, and the other half were stationed to the north of the city. Snow Wood would be there among them, and if the Wexler Clan intended to take action, they would not be able to do so just yet; they would definitely have to wait until they were unobserved.
Otherwise, once the remaining hundred factions noticed, the Wexler Clan’s efforts would be in vain. The best opportunity would surely be at night when others were resting. It was still three hours until night, so there was enough time to arrange the array. Logan chose a spot to set up the array based on the terrain.
This place was a mile away from Heavenly Moon City. If the Wexler Clan made a move against Snow Wood, the escape would undoubtedly head in this direction. Only the City Lord of Heavenly Moon City could save Snow Wood, and should a large-scale battle occur, the powerhouses of Heavenly Moon City would detect it through Divine Sense Exploration and rush to the rescue right away.
Logan took out two million top-grade Spirit Stones with a pang of regret, “I’ve only earned five million top-grade Spirit Stones in total. To save Snow Wood, I’m going to be broke again. I hope Snow Wood is someone who knows how to repay kindness, and later will reimburse me for the top-grade Spirit Stones, maybe even give me ten million top-grade Spirit Stones.”
In order to deal with a Quasi-Saint Emperor, ordinary formations would not suffice, so Logan set up a Barrier Formation. Its offensive capabilities might not be much, but its defensive power was truly astonishing; it could withstand an attack by a Quasi-Saint Emperor for an hour, and with plenty of top-grade Spirit Stones, the array could be continuously empowered.
After a while, the Barrier Formation was established. Then Logan took out another two million top-grade Spirit Stones and, on top of the Barrier, set up a Rebound Formation.
The Rebound Formation could absorb attacks. This way, if the people of the Wexler Clan kept attacking, once the Rebound Formation absorbed enough power, it would explode in an instant, its might depending on the Realm of the attacking Legal Person. If a Quasi-Saint Emperor were the attacker, the explosive rebuff would be enough to leave the Quasi-Saint Emperor on the brink of death.
In this back and forth, Logan had spent a total of four million top-grade Spirit Stones. You better hope it’s worth it. But when all was said and done, everything was just Logan’s guess. Would the Wexler Clan actually make a move on Snow Wood? If it all turned out to be an overreaction, then he would be the butt of a joke.
Afterward, Logan hastened to Snow Wood’s encampment. Regardless, if he could persuade Snow Wood to leave, as long as they made it into Heavenly Moon City, the people of the Wexler Clan wouldn’t dare make a move, since living within the city were tens of millions of people. Any commotion and the City Lord would be the first to know.

Upon arrival, Snow Wood was quite surprised to see Logan, “Fellow Daoist, why have you not stayed inside Heavenly Moon City? Staying here is extremely dangerous.”
Generally speaking, those who came to Heavenly Moon City would choose to stay in the city where safety was somewhat assured, unless they were like him, who disliked the noise, and would prefer a quiet place outside the city.
“I came specifically to find you,” Logan shook his head, then stated his purpose, “This is the situation, I witnessed what happened in the city earlier. I must say, you’ve got a lot of guts, facing a group of Quasi-Saint Emperors without any fear. However, the Wexler Clan will not let this go.”
“Earlier, I saw a group of Wexler Clan experts leaving the city, including their Family Head. I guess they must be seeking an opportunity for revenge, and since this place is outside Heavenly Moon City, you have no one to call upon for help, and once something happens, no one will be able to catch the true culprit,” said Logan.
“You want all of us to leave?” Snow Wood asked, after hearing Logan’s words. Logan nodded, “Yes, it’s safer to return to Heavenly Moon City. No matter what the Wexler Clan’s intentions are, you’ll be able to respond calmly to any changes.”
“There are tens of millions of people in the city, coming and going; it’s just too noisy. I don’t believe the Wexler Clan would dare to be so brazen, especially considering that I come from Snow Sky Sect, one of the three Great Sects of the Southern Desolation. Should we suffer even the slightest harm, the Wexler Clan would hardly be able to bear the consequences,” Snow Wood said with a faint smile, then added, “Anyway, thank you for coming to inform me. The reason why the Wexler Clan gathered a large number of experts is merely to show off to the tens of millions of people in the city.”
“It’s really different, the Wexler Clan must be up to something,” Logan was quite speechless. Couldn’t Snow Wood understand even this? It wasn’t a matter of whether the Wexler Clan dared to or not; indeed, the Wexler Clan wouldn’t dare to provoke the Snow Sky Sect, but there was one condition, that the Snow Sky Sect knew who the assassin was.
The Family Head of the Wexler Clan was a Quasi-Saint Emperor, who could have come alone. Why bring a group of experts instead? It was simply because they did not want any of Snow Wood’s several dozen people to escape. As long as no one knew the truth, even if everyone suspected the Wexler Clan, there would be no evidence to present.
“As you said, if the Wexler Clan wanted to make a move, why did you come first? They are nowhere to be seen, how do you explain that?”
Snow Wood spread her hands, looking at Logan repeating himself over and over, she was getting a bit annoyed. The City Lord of Heavenly Moon City had intervened, what could the Wexler Clan do?
Moreover, she had already taken a step back; otherwise, based solely on the other party’s fault, it would not just be about crippling one’s cultivation—life would have been lost long ago. If the Wexler Clan had any sense of righteousness, they wouldn’t harbor resentment against her; instead, they should be grateful.
Logan gave a bitter smile and said, “It’s not just about you. There are also many people from other powers and sects around. With everyone watching, how could they make a move now?”
“Miss, don’t waste your words with this man. The reason he keeps mentioning the Wexler Clan is just to swindle some Top-Grade Spirit Stones. The expenses of Heavenly Moon City are not small; it costs seven to eight thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones every day. He’s definitely penniless and thought of us as an acquaintance to try and deceive us.”
The Captain of the Guards next to Snow Wood spoke disdainfully, “If you ask me, we should beat Logan up. Otherwise, he will keep bothering us.”
“Not necessarily. Maybe Logan has been instigated by someone, wanting us to clash with the Wexler Clan. There are quite a few powers within the city that hold grudges against the Wexler Clan, so they might use this conflict to their advantage. We must not fall for it. If we rashly fight the Wexler Clan, we will only be making a wedding dress for someone else.”
Another guard pondered and said, Logan’s arrival was too timely. They had just returned from the city, and Logan came right after. If there wasn’t a scheme behind this, how could that be?
After contemplating, Snow Wood felt that both people made sense. They came to Heavenly Moon City together with Logan. But when all was said and done, it was just a chance encounter. Would he take the risk of offending the Wexler Clan to come here? Obviously not, but Snow Wood didn’t want to assume the worst.
So, with a grand wave of her hand, she ordered, “Regardless, give Logan ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones. I’d rather believe that he is well-intentioned than that he truly harbors ill will.”
“Why give him ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones? Just like that, a few words and he gets his way?” Some people beside Snow Wood dissatisfied, thinking the lady was too kind-hearted. This way, people would keep using her. In their view, Logan was just asking for a beating, making up something about the Wexler Clan.
Compared to everyone’s anger, Logan was troubled. Snow Wood was simply too stubborn. He had said so much—why wouldn’t she believe him? Even if she suspected everything was a lie, they could first go to Heavenly Moon City. Anyway, there was no loss to them at all.
“Forget it, I’ll leave then,” Logan glanced at everyone. “I came with good intentions, but you misunderstood me. Why should I keep trying to convince you? Time will validate whether it’s true or false.”
Logan didn’t take the ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones and left with a trace of anger. Watching his departing figure, Snow Wood felt Logan didn’t seem to be lying. Had she misunderstood him?
But if the Wexler Clan intended to kill, how could Logan, a man of the Saint Seat Second Level, come to know? Were there tens of millions of people in the city, and only Logan was intelligent?
