382: Chapter 14: With my Saint’s Way, I shall protect your Glazed Heart 382: Chapter 14: With my Saint’s Way, I shall protect your Glazed Heart Small Pool.
A red sparrow perched on a branch, a common creature with no mana to speak of, not even capable of sensing the existence of the Divine General in the water pool.
Splash!
A huge, smooth stone from the bottom of the water burst forth, directly smashing the tree where the red sparrow rested, causing the birds to fly away in an instant.
The Divine General poked out her head, confirmed there were no birds around, and then slowly sank back down.
She detested birds, especially red ones.
Another day passed, and a lumberjack came to the pool’s edge, overjoyed at the sight of the fallen tree, planning to chop it into pieces to carry down the mountain.
However, he slipped and his axe flew directly into the pool.
The Divine General threw it back, and the axe, now with a golden glow, became almost pure gold in color.
The lumberjack was stunned for a long time, then kowtowed to the water pool and, with a smile, went down the mountain.
A thread of thought arose, she had no intention, yet causality took its own course.
This mortal was fated to encounter a bloody disaster, which was related to her.
The Divine General quietly surfaced, withdrew the golden light, and returned the axe to its original state, at most making it sharper.
It wasn’t that she was stingy by nature; a touch of golden light was his affinity, but it must not be a deadly and evil bond.
Someone once told her, people are different, with inherent inequalities, and those with great power should be sympathetic to the shortcomings of ordinary people.
“Are you going to take back even a little golden glow?”
Within the nine-meter golden man, the girl curled up into a ball, knees hugged to her chest, deprived of all senses, her body like a prison where the depths of the golden glow concealed endless darkness.
A familiar voice sounded, she had long been deaf, this must be the Heart Demon.
This was not the first time, after Chi Yu Zi lost her senses, her consciousness frequently dreamt, often in a state of semi-sleep, clear one moment and plunged into dreams the next.
Fortunately, reality was dark and cold; she was not yet delirious.
“Wasn’t it you who said to comply with fate and satisfy whims?
Rather than letting him take home this disastrous talisman and suffer family ruin and personal death, I’ll take some effort to take it back.”
“It was a casual remark, you still remember?”
“Do you remember?”
“Remembered in the heart, must think back to recall.”
“You truly are heartless, I am different.
I will remember everything, every word you’ve said, the tasks given by the Heavenly Girl, even what that guy Jun Yan said.
He mocked me eighty-nine times; I should have punched him in the stomach each time.”
“Pfft hahaha, you’re clearly holding a grudge.”
Her loud, hearty laughter seemed to pour into her ears, Chi Yu Zi could no longer tell reality from illusion and said, “I am dying, with only ten more years of life.
The Immortals told me you are already dead.
If there really is an afterlife in this world, will you, the Heavenly Girl, Jun Yan be there in the afterlife?”
“Yu Hua is in the afterlife, Jun Yan hasn’t died yet, and I’ve already come out.”
At these words, Chi Yu Zi showed little change; she was hearing for the first time the circumstances of the first two, but she had already heard the last one countless times.
Still, she would ask every time, “If you have already come out, why don’t you come to see me?”
“I’m on my way to see you, but stopped by a fine tavern on the way and went in to find two jars of fine wine to bring to you.
Little did I expect to be penniless, the youngster wouldn’t let me have it on credit, I was asking if I could pawn a token of the Yuqing Heavenly Venerate.”
This time, the Heart Demon was different than before, and unknown whether it was the dying mind’s fleeting glimpse, he became incredibly vivid.
At this moment, another visitor arrived at the water’s edge.
Xie Yunnan landed, glanced at the broken tree, then clasped his hands and said, “Senior, regarding the Devil and the hidden sect it lurks within, investigations have been carried out.”
Splash, the pool water churned, the Divine General half emerged from below the water.
Chi Yu Zi asked succinctly, “Where, who, which sect?”
“Recently two groups are buying up Pills everywhere, scattered across various small sects, many of them are third-class.
The former is involved in too wide a range, with numerous and complicated members, while the latter all point to the Liuyun Sect.”
Xie Yunnan laid out all the intelligence she had gathered.
Currently, the situation in Wenkui Continent is better than expected, but also more troublesome.
Originally, the Daoist Sect and Broken Sword Mountain thought that the second and third-class sects were likely to have many insiders.
The Devils nowadays are not just Evil Cultivators; many are great powers that were purged for obstructing the resurrection of Qingcang Immortal.
And the second and third-class sects lack Cultivation Techniques; if they could get first-class techniques, rebellion is natural.
Currently, most of the second and third-class sects are unchecked, and first-class sects are less likely to take risks.
But instead, the bait has been taken by numerous inconspicuous lower-level small sects and factions.
They can’t even be called ‘sect’; with no master to follow, and no true techniques.
Because they are too scattered, Xie Yunnan doesn’t even know where to start investigating.
Clearly, the Devils have given up on stronger sects with some power and instead targeted the more mundane martial houses and Qi Cultivation Rooms.
While the second lead is much clearer, it shouldn’t have pointed to the Liuyun Sect.
Chi Yu Zi bluntly asked, “Are you saying there’s something wrong with the Liuyun Sect?”
“Junior would not dare to conclude rashly, but certainly, there are insiders within it.” Xie Yunnan bowed slightly, then retreated a bit, saying, “Perhaps we should report this, at least inform Venerable Wen about it.”
“Letting thieves check herself is not as good as letting those Devils confess themselves.”
The Divine General radiated killing intent.
She had no particular connection with Lan Yongning, nor cared for the pomp of supposed Venerable titles.
If only those great powers had died back then, would they not have had so much trouble?
If Qingcang Immortal had been revived smoothly, the Heavenly Girl and Gu Wen would not have died and her own problems would have been resolved.
Xie Yunnan felt somewhat panicked, fearing to provoke a dispute between Venerables, and hurriedly said, “But we can’t just conflict with the Liuyun Sect, what if it leads to chaos throughout the continent?”
