Episode Thirty Four

     "You see Gao, it takes time, patience and the right mind to formulate a good plan." Fong Woo tells Feng Gao, as the two of them walk to a secret chamber that Fong Woo has in another part of the palace. Two nights while we were drinking, and telling each other about our plans. In my drunken haze, another brilliant plan came to me. Originally, I was planning to create a puppet from clay and found a way to get it inside the walls of the Winter Sect kingdom."

   "For someone who has that many powers in your possession, you sure don't know how to use it." Feng Gao mumbled under his breath.

   "What was that now?" Fong Woo asked, clearly not hearing what Feng Gao had just mumbled. 

   "That your plan will cause a lot of problems, but by all means. Please carry on with your plan." Feng Gao replied with. Not bothering to upset Fong Woo, and send him on a rampage. 'Slow and steady always wins the race. I can get the lotus aura for myself, if I just carry out my plan. And I get the blood moon orb from this maniac, and use it for myself.' 

Fong Woo look at Feng Gao skeptically, not trusting the look on his face. Having absorbed some of the orb's magic, his own powers have been enhanced, including his soul searching abilities. "You, you are plotting against me!" Fong Woo yelled, startling Feng Gao. "Maybe I should just kill you right now!"

    "No, no. Have you finally fully gone crazy?" Feng Gao asked, when he saw Fong Woo raised his hand with a swirling ball of dark energy, ready to strike him. "If I wasn't with you, you would have been dead or in custody of the Prospectors."

  "You-"

    "Let me finish." Feng Gao walked up to him, and placed a finger on his lips, silencing him. Even though he finds Fong Woo terrifing because he is a ticking time bomb of craziness, he still could let Fong Woo see that he is intimidated by him. "I could have killed you when you were drunk, and I could have stolen the orb and left and sent an anonymous tip to the Prospector's council and have you arrested. So just stop being paranoid, and continue with your plan." 

Fong Woo took one last look at Feng Gao, dissipated the dark energy from his hand, and walked away, leaving a smirking Feng Gao behind.

   "He defeated your fire demon, you know." Feng Gao chuckled when he saw Fong Woo grip the table he was standing in front of tightly. "Word was sent to the Dragon's kingdom about his bravery and victory, even though he isn't trained as yet."

 Fong Woo grit his teeth in anger. The little rascal is already ruining his plans, and he hasn't even mastered his abilities as yet. Guess the Apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Is he going to end up like his father? No, he is going to get that lotus aura, even if it's to pluck it out of that boy with his bare hands. And when he is done, he is going to reincarnate his father, and together they will rule over the cultivation world. 

   "He is already that skillful? Well then, I better get my plan in motion." He said with a smile, but it wasn't a happy one. "There was this disciple that came to defeat me from the Honshu mountain Sect, he was a disciple trained by master Dishi."

    "Master Dishi were great friends with your father, until he got a hold of the Blood moon orb." Feng Gao said, and Fong Woo nodded.

   "Yes, he betrayed my father by helping those bloody Prospectors take him away from me!" Fong Woo raised his voice at the end in anger. He took two deep calming breaths before speaking again. "So, this young disciple had a very strong fight with him. But he wasn't strong enough. I have taken his aura, and added it to mine. He should have been at Cultivation school with the rest of young disciples from his sect, so I will make a puppet out of clay. Extract some of his aura from myself, and add it to the puppet so it can have all the attributes of the disciple. Send him to The Winter Sect kingdom, and command him to befriend the young Prospector. Making him trust him enough to lure him to me." Fong Woo rubbed his hands together evily before facing Feng Gao and asking him. "So, how does that plan sound?"

   "It is good, brilliant even. But, wouldn't it look suspicious if he suddenly appeared out of thin air, after he has gone missing for so long? I know the disciple you are talking about, and words have traveled that he disobeyed his sect leader and came to fight you. Now everyone thinks he is dead, which he is."

   "What on Earth have I ever done to him, for him to disobeyed his leader. These disciples now a days, loyalty is all they know." Fong Woo shake his head in fake pity.

    "Your father killed his mother." Feng Gao spoke up, causing Fong Woo to laugh.

   "Well, maybe she deserved it." Feng Gao just shrugged and thought the plan Fong Woo had just mentioned, over. 

    "So, what are you going to do?" 

Fong Woo rubbed his chin in thought, before he snapped his finger with a megawatt smile on his face. "I have a spy on the inside of the Honshu mountain Sect,"

   "You do?" Feng Gao interrupted him and asked. Surprised that he even went as far as having more cultivators who weren't brainwashed or turned into mindless zombies, to help him.

   "Yes, his name is Zong Mo, and his father had secretly helped me after he helped my mother and I to safety. Anyway, as I was saying. I would get Zong Mo to find the invitation to enter the Winter Sect kingdom, let him meet you at the border with it along with his robe and any necessary items he will need. I have his sword over there in my souvenir vault," He pointed to a mini lock door in the corner. "And I will come up with a good story for him to tell why he was missing for so long." Fong Woo finished explaining, and looked at Feng Gao's facial expressions.

   "That could work, but you have to ensure that he doesn't get too close to any other Prospectors. Or else-"

    "Do worry about that, I will put a block on his mind. You might think I am crazy. But if I was, and I am not saying that I am not a little bit crazy. Would I have stolen the Blood moon orb from right under their noses without being caught?"

Feng Gao punder what Fong Woo said for a minute. It was true, Fong Woo stole the orb without any help. And he had come this far, maybe his plan will actually work. But for other means, Feng Gao will still carry out his own plan. "So, when will I meet Zong Mo at the border?"
