Chapter 1139 (2/2)

Long Chen was silent for a while and then asked, “What’s the effect of your family’s Dao Seeking King Jade?”

“It’s an ancient jade with Dao-charm flowing around it . Even without doing anything, it allows a person to grow closer to the Heavenly Daos . It lets a person’s heart be calm . It is extremely helpful to people below the Xiantian realm . ”

“Is it only useful to those below the Xiantian realm?” asked Long Chen .

“Yes . Above the Xiantian realm, it is essentially useless . So although it’s a good treasure, it doesn’t cause any powerful sects to get greedy,” explained Hua s.h.i.+yu .

“Then based on what you said, I would guess that this so-called expert from Heavenly Fate Island did something to you . Above your Spirit Root, there’s a strange clump of energy hiding . When I… read your bones, it was provoked . This clump of energy contains Heavenly Dao energy, but it’s different from the Heavenly Dao energy Celestials use when fighting . It’s like karmic energy and very strange . Furthermore, this energy has merged with your Spirit Blood and even your soul . If it’s forcibly removed, you will definitely die . ”

“Hey, what are you saying?! Long Chen, can’t you put it more gently?” rebuked Tang Wan-er angrily .

Long Chen immediately became embarra.s.sed, because he had truly misspoken . He hastily said, “But you don’t need to worry . When we return to the sect, we can ask the Xuan Master to help and it’ll be no problem . ”

But Hua s.h.i.+yu wasn’t the slightest bit excited . Instead, she dimly shook her head . “The Xuan Master won’t help . ”

“Why not?”

“Because Heavenly Fate Island is more terrifying than you imagine . There is not a single sect that wishes to offend them . They control fate, and so for them to destroy a sect is extremely easy . Most terrifying of all, their actions are all well-hidden . You might not even know how the sect declined,” sighed Hua s.h.i.+yu .

“It can’t possibly be that exaggerated, right?” Wasn’t this too ridiculous? Then who would dare to provoke them?

“In truth, it really is like this . No one is willing to offend them . All the large sects want to curry favor with the Heavenly Fate Island, afraid of something being done to them secretly . That’s the terror of Heavenly Fate Island,” said Hua s.h.i.+yu .

If this was true, then they really were bada.s.s . But for them to get jealous of other people’s treasures, they were a huge pain in the a.s.s .

Hua s.h.i.+yu’s family’s ancestral treasure was clearly not very useful to others . However, it seemed that this ‘expert’ had a use for it . Long Chen was ninety percent sure that this expert had done something to Hua s.h.i.+yu in order to force the Hua family to hand over their treasure .

He had seen despicable people, but he had never seen someone this despicable . Even the swindlers in the secular world only conned people of their money, not their entire family fortune and their lives .

“In truth, it’s not that complicated . As long as you tell the Xuan Master, he can use the Reincarnation Mirror to easily erase that strange energy . Previously, you couldn’t be sure that the Xuan Master would help you, but don’t misjudge him . Although he looks like a lazy person leisurely pa.s.sing his days, he’s a very courageous man . If you ask him, he will definitely help,” guaranteed Long Chen .

“Don’t randomly spout such nonsense . How could the Xuan Master be described as lazy and leisurely? Are you not afraid of the Xuan Master expelling you?” scolded Meng Qi with a smile .

The tense atmosphere lightened a great deal . Hua s.h.i.+yu said, “However, it will still bring trouble to the Xuantian Dao Sect . If the Xuantian Dao Sect declines because of me, I’d rather die . ”

“It’s not so serious . How old are you right now?” asked Long Chen . He wanted to know how much time she had left .

Long Chen was confident that the expert from Heavenly Fate Island had used Heavenly Dao energy to leave behind a ‘seed’ within Hua s.h.i.+yu . Or perhaps it should be called a curse .

Arts that involved fate were mysterious and profound . They could not be described with words, nor could they be underestimated . For Heavenly Fate Island to possess such a reputation was definitely not a coincidence . Long Chen didn’t dare to be careless .

“I turned twenty-two last month,” said Hua s.h.i.+yu . In other words, there was less than a year until her time was up .

“Oh, you’re even a bit bigger than Long Chen . ” Tang Wan-er was a bit surprised . She had always thought that Hua s.h.i.+yu was younger than Long Chen .

Looking at Hua s.h.i.+yu’s chest, Long Chen thought to himself that she wasn’t just a bit bigger . He sighed regretfully . Just now, he had been completely focused on that clump of energy and hadn’t gotten a good feel . What a waste .

Just as Long Chen’s thoughts took a turn from proper things, Meng Qi’s hand stealthily reached toward Long Chen’s waist and gave him a vicious pinch .

Although she wasn’t able to cause him pain with this, Long Chen knew his spiritual fluctuations had been sensed .

“s.h.i.+yu, don’t worry . If you’re worried about implicating the Dao Sect, then I’ll help you handle it . I can use a medicinal pill to help you extract that energy . But the process will probably be a bit painful,” said Long Chen .
