269 Clear Wind (1/2)
”You're really ambitious!”
Fang Yuan rubbed his hands together. ”This treasure would be able to contain his fate energy. When Xu Ting grows up and becomes accomplished, you want a share of his fate energy and karma? To increase your cultivation?”
”That's right! I must take revenge!”
Li Luan had a determined look on her face, and her Yin Spirit emerged. ”Please help me, brother. After all of this is over, I am willing to be your slave to repay your kindness!”
”Forget it...”
Fang Yuan waved his sleeves. ”Don't look for me for such a troublesome thing! However, since we have similar goals, we can work together!”
This lady's enemy must be at the same level of the An River Dragon God and Fang Yuan did not want to find trouble for himself.
However, he had to admit that the execution of his plan would be much smoother with her help.
”Of course...”
Li Luan stood up, confused.
The water dragon's Dragon Pearl is an extremely valuable treasure!
Although she had already declared that the pearl had minimal dragon properties in it and that it could not assist Fang Yuan in transforming from a python to a dragon, it could contain fate energy and the benefits were immense.
At the moment where Fang Yuan had exposed her, she had already made plans for the worse. However, she could not believe it that Fang Yuan had no greed.
However, it was also a good thing that she did not have to fight with her benefactor.
As she heaved a sigh of relief, she continued. ”Brother, please swear to the heavens as proof!”
In this realm, the heavens were almighty. Although there might be no response at the moment of swearing, all of it would be accumulated in the tribulation to come and even the Dragon God would have to consider twice before swearing.
”I swear to the heavens that I have no greed over the water dragon's Dragon Pearl. If I break my promise, the heavens can deal with me in any way they like!”
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes and looked at Li Luan. ”Is this enough for you to keep your thunder pill?”
”I'm sorry!”
Li Luan blushed and quickly kept the thunder pill before apologising once more. ”I am too cautious...”
”Alright, now can you explain to me where are you from?”
Fang Yuan stared at the golden red carp.
”I am... the daughter of the Water God of Qi Lake!”
Li Luan clenched her teeth but finally revealed her identity.
”What?”
Fang Yuan was in shock at the coincidence in the world. ”Alright, you don't have to say anything more...”
He could guess this lady's predicament.
Her father had died and she had sworn to take revenge for him. Therefore, she had infiltrated the palace to steal the treasures.
As for how a water dragon could give birth to a carp? A water dragon was flirtatious in nature and there was no explanation needed.
However, no matter how good her plan was, she was unlucky. Although the water dragon's Dragon Pearl was a treasure in itself, it was unable to help her transform into a dragon. Following, she was then chased by soldiers and was fortunate enough to be rescued by the Xu Family. After seeing the birth of Xu Ting, only then did she think of harnessing his fate energy for her own cultivation.
”I believe this lady is unaware of my identity...”
Fang Yuan looked at Li Luan. ”Could she have suspected anything after seeing my black carp body? That should be a small issue. Against the demons in Qi Lake, we are natural allies!”
...
”Eh? This is...”
At the East of Black Lake District, there was a Dao temple called Clear Wind.
The owner of Clear Wind Temple was rumoured to be a powerful person who worked hard to destroy evil demons and earned a reputation for himself. He was nicknamed 'The Godly Sword of the Sun and Moon'. As he aged, he retired here. He was spot-on in fortune telling and deciphering dreams, which gave him a good business.
Of course, Venerable Clear Wind had good progress in his cultivation in recent years and no longer got himself involved in the happenings around. He had left the work of managing the temple to his few direct disciples while he would cultivate in peace by himself.
”Master!”
At this point in time, within Clear Wind Temple, a young Daoist came to the backyard and was shocked.
His master had unknowingly started to meditate in isolation. As his master looked out towards the district, his face was solemn.
”Is this Tong Ming? You should have mastered your Energy Viewing Technique, so come take a look!”
Venerable Clear Wind was around 80 years old but appeared like a middle-aged man. His face was full of vitality and his black sideburns stretched downwards, giving him the appearance of a respectable Daoist
As he looked towards the government office, his eyes glittered.
”Yes, Master!”
Tong Ming opened his spiritual eye and executed his Energy Viewing Technique towards the government's office. ”A red streak of energy is originating from the office like the glow of a fire... The district leader has plenty of people Dao fate energy! Also, there is a colourful scroll within the red streak of energy. This is the scholarly energy! Sir Xu is a scholar and will be able to ensure peace in the district! It is good fortune for the people!”
”Eh?”
After looking for a while longer, his expression changed. ”There seems to be a faint black glow coming from the back of the government office. This is the energy of aggressive soldiers. Could the district leader intend to use his soldiers?”
”And then?”
Venerable Clear Wind's expression remained unchanged and continued asking.
”I'm useless and this is all I can see...”
Daoist Tong Ming was sweating profusely.
”You have already mastered half of the Energy Viewing Technique since you were able to see all that you had described....”
Venerable Clear Wind sighed. ”Amidst the energy of the aggressive soldiers, there is the energy of demons! I'm afraid that demons now control the government office and have already disguised themselves to get close to his family members...”
”Demons?”
Daoist Tong Ming shuddered and did not know what to do. ”What should we do?”
”Exterminate it, of course!”
Venerable Clear Wing revealed a murderous look. ”Bring my sword to me!”
