Chapter 584 - – Destiny (1/2)

After walking out from the auction house, Zhou Xuanji went around by himself for a while.

As for the Xiji Six Immortals, they went to contact other auction houses, as Zhou Xuanji planned to split the treasures among different auction houses.

He had already given a portion of the treasures to the Xiji Six Immortals. He trusted that they would not run away with them.

As such, he began to aimlessly wander about the True Spirit City.

Not too long later, he came across Chiyu Boy.

This fellow had set up his own stall and was yelling extremely loudly, making some low-grade items sound incredibly godly.

Zhou Xuanji shook his head and smiled, and he did not disturb him.

He was observing the situation in the True Spirit City. In the future, he also wanted to create a city like this so that Emperor Sword Court’s disciples could live self-sufficiently. At the same time, they would be able to connect with the Great Thousand World.

He walked among the sea of people, when suddenly, someone bumped into him.

He slightly frowned and glanced over.

With his cultivation, how could someone bump into him? He had instinctively moved out of the way, but that person had purposely followed him and bumped into him.

This was a man with long hair in black clothes. His hair was loose and his back looked somewhat bleak.

He looked back at Zhou Xuanji as well.

Those eyes seemed two have two layers of pupils.

As their eyes met, both people stopped walking.

“This fellow…” Zhou Xuanji found that he actually could not see through this fellow.

The black-clothed man gave a smile filled with deep intent before turning and leaving.

Pa!

Zhou Xuanji grabbed his shoulder and asked, “Do I know you?”

The black-clothed man did not look back and said, “Zhou Xuanji, you don’t have much time left. Your destiny from the start will come soon; I hope you have the power to endure it.”

After saying this, he turned into smoke and dissipated.

What was the strangest was that no other creature seemed to notice this.

Zhou Xuanji began to feel quite unsettled.

He frowned and muttered, “My destiny from the start?”

That came out of nowhere!

Did that person have mental issues?

Zhou Xuanji turned and continued to walk, but he could not get the black-clothed man out of his mind.

That person’s cultivation was incredibly profound; just what did he want?

Could he be from the Great Emperor Dao Court?

But was the Great Emperor Dao Court powerful enough to have people in the Heaven Fiend Realm?

Or was it someone from Buddha Yang Ling?

…

Zhou Xuanji thought to himself as he walked on.

…

Within the Netherworld, Magistrate Cui stood side by side with a black shadow on a bridge, looking at the Yellow Springs roiling beneath them.

Magistrate Cui’s expression was grim as he gritted his teeth and said, “Truly?”

The black shadow gave off a cold woman’s voice, “Indeed.”

Magistrate Cui immediately became deflated, and he seemed incredibly grieved.

He bitterly laughed and said, “I gave up so much, but it was all for nothing.”

His emotions were extremely complicated, and he felt immense regret and reluctance.

“Magistrate Cui, the higher ups look very favorably on you. If you continue with your hard work, you might become a King Yama,” the black shadow said with a gloomy voice.

Magistrate Cui looked at her and asked, “What will happen to him?”

The black shadow replied, “Karma will destroy him; all you need to do is silently wait. If he comes to find you, you should know what to do.”

Magistrate Cui did not nod and only sighed.

He looked at the Yellow Springs and said in a low voice, “Just what is the purpose of cultivation? You fight for your entire life, only to submit to destiny.”

…

The black shadow did not reply and disappeared from the bridge.
