Chapter 683 - The Nailhead Seven Arrows Book (1/2)

”How would you solve this issue?” Yi Zhi asked.

Shen Lian responded, ”We have to get rid of her. But she is very good at hiding and it would not be easy to track her down.”

Yi Zhi felt a sense of relief. Shen Lian said 'it would not be easy' and not 'it is impossible'.

He asked, ”What should I do?”

Shen Lian said, ”Guard the nation and console the people. Continue doing what you have been doing and I will take care of the rest.”

Yi Zhi retreated after receiving the advice. It was a good thing that Shen Lian did not interfere with his administration. In that way, he could show his aspiration and use this opportunity to cultivate. It was killing two birds with one stone and also fulfilling Shen Lian's promise to him.

Shen Lian let out a sigh after Yi Zhi left. It would not be easy to sort out Hanba. She may not be as powerful as Yinglong but it would be difficult to track her down. This was not the ability of Hanba and obviously, there was someone else who helped her cover her tracks.

Shen Lian was completely clueless about the identity of that someone.

The Netherworld may be big but it was nothing compared to the universe and the milky way. But the person behind Hanba must be a tough character.

Shen Lian was not afraid of getting into trouble. What he did not like the most was that he does not know the source of the trouble, which would put him in a passive situation.

He allowed the drought to develop not because he had no clue how to resolve Hanba. He did not want to chase Hanba away so easily so he could find out more about the mastermind behind her.

Moreover, he still needed to refine the Primeval Demonic Thoughts and it was not advisable for him to move around before succeeding in doing so.

As he was lost in thoughts, his mind twitched.

A girl in red showed up outside of the Biyou Palace in the City of Xiliang and she was stopped by the gatekeepers who were also cultivators. Before the cultivators could report to Shen Lian, Shen Lian's voice could be heard, ”Let her in.”

The girl in red entered the Biyou Palace with a hint of solemn on her cute little face. It was clear that she did not want to be rude. When she arrived at the hall, she finally saw Shen Lian. However, Shen Lian was just sitting on the stone couch in the lotus position with his back facing her and there was a bead curtain that divided them.

The girl bowed down and said, ”Fuhao greets the Honored Celestial.”

”Why do you address me as the Honored Celestial?” Shen Lian questioned.

Fuhao responded, ”Everyone is calling you that.”

She looked at the surroundings with curiosity but she still failed to get a good look at the person she admired greatly. She did not doubt the authenticity of this Shen Lian and after all, this was the Biyou Palace and no one would have the audacity to impersonate Shen Lian in the Netherworld.

Shen Lian chuckled, ”What they call me is their own business but your mother is a deity under me and she addressed me as Celestial Teacher. You should address me as that too.”

Fuhao lets out a ”Yes” and continued, ”I am here to give you something.”

She took out a manuscript and then a gentle force swept the manuscript to Shen Lian. There were five characters on the cover the manuscript that said 'The Nailhead Seven Arrows Book'.

These five characters were enough to drive Qi cultivators who were familiar with the Secret Histories of the Gods but despite that, Shen Lian remained calm and unshaken. He said, ”That is a precious gift.”

Fuhao responded, ”Teacher Luya said that this technique should not be used lightly. With your luck, you could use it at maximum once. If you use it more than once, you would be bestowed with misfortunes. Please use it wisely.”
