Chapter 1169: 1169

Seeing Xuan Jizi’s shoulder was pitch-black like charcoal, everyone sucked in a cold gasp of air .

“Do you see? This is the backlash from just trying to read Long Chen’s fate once . Half my body exploded, and the parts that regrew have been cursed, making them like this,” said Xuan Jizi hatefully .

He had lived for many years, but he had never encountered such a situation . In truth, the regrown parts of his body would feel like needles were stabbing them every few hours, tormenting him .

When Xuan Jizi thought about this, he was infuriated . Back then, he hadn’t really been calculating Long Chen’s future, he had just been calculating his position . But just that had almost cost him his life .

If he had tried calculating his future, there probably wouldn’t be the slightest speck of his bones left . That made Xuan Jizi extremely uneasy and terrified .

Xuan Jizi was an extremely vile person . While he roamed around the world, whenever he noticed geniuses being born, he would secretly plant a Dao-seed within them as a baby .

This slave-heart Dao-seed was extremely evil . It extracted a Celestial’s Heavenly Dao energy and gave it to him . He was like a leech, constantly using this secret art to absorb energy from others for his own cultivation .

In the beginning, he had been very careful . He only placed the slave-heart Dao-seed in a few ordinary Celestials . But as his status rose, his confidence inflated . Using his status, he began targeting the more talented babies .

The greater the talent of the baby, the more likely they were to be part of a large sect or ancient family . He could use his status to win their trust . It was very convenient .

Furthermore, even after a thousand years, no one had noticed any clues about his slave-heart Dao-seeds . That made him more and more brazen, and he gradually became completely unbridled .

Since he often went around to the large sects to tell fortunes for people, he was able to encounter many talented babies . Nowadays, he was too lazy to bother keeping track of the ordinary babies he placed these slave-heart Dao-seeds on .

It could be said that Hua s.h.i.+yu was actually an exception . Someone had revealed to him that the Hua family had a Dao Seeking King Jade . That wasn’t something useful to others, but for Xuan Jizi who peered into the heavens, it was a good supplementary tool .

When he had rushed over the Hua family, he had seen Hua s.h.i.+yu who had been born not long ago . Seeing that her talent was extremely good, he had directly revealed his status . While reading Hua s.h.i.+yu’s fortune, he had stealthily placed the slave-heart Dao-seed .

Then he had used Hua s.h.i.+yu to extort the Hua family for their Dao Seeking King Jade . But the Hua family had refused, infuriating Xuan Jizi .

He said Hua s.h.i.+yu would have three tribulations in her life, and her lifespan would not surpa.s.s twenty-three . The three tribulations were something Xuan Jizi had read in her fortune, while her limited lifespan was what he himself had decided .

Those who had his slave-heart Dao-seed within them had their life and death within his hands . In order to make people revere him more, he would occasionally make a divine calculation that someone was imminently about to die .

But this time, he had run into Long Chen . Xuan Jizi was full of regret over this matter . Just why had he been so stupid as to threaten Long Chen at that time?

If he had simply allowed Long Chen to remove the slave-heart Dao-seed, then things would have been fine . The Hua family wouldn’t dare to try and blame him for it . Most importantly, there was no proof . No one would have been able to do anything .

But Long Chen was different . After his failure of calculating Long Chen’s position had cost him half his life, an intense feeling of unease had filled his heart . He felt like things were about to turn sour for him . If Long Chen transmitted this information about, he would fall from grace . That was why he said that Long Chen was a Heaven-Seizer .

Long Chen’s growth was truly bizarre and similar to a legendary Heaven-Seizer . Adding in how domineering he was and his vicious methods, Xuan Jizi felt like accusing him of being a Heaven-Seizer was the best option .

“Just like Daoist Xuan Jizi said, Long Chen is a Heaven-Seizer . We should immediately initiate the Righteous path’s arrest warrant and kill him at all costs,” said Ma Xingkong .

“No, he had some kind of powerful treasure that s.h.i.+elds him from the mysteries of fate . Due to my close friends.h.i.+p with brother Dan Teng, I invited him over from the Pill Tower… you understand!” Xuan Jizi looked at them .

His meaning was clear . Long Chen definitely had to die, but he didn’t want more people to know of this . Xuan Jizi had already invited the elder from the Pill Tower to be the judge of this matter .

In other words, whatever benefits could be gained from Long Chen’s body would go to him . They couldn’t even think about fighting over them .

Ma Xingkong and the ancient race expert immediately nodded with comprehension . It was no wonder the Pill Tower would interfere in this matter .

Dan Teng smiled toward the two of them . “Although my Pill Tower will carry out this matter, we are still grateful for your a.s.sistance . After all, you two already have a well-known relations.h.i.+p to Long Chen and the Xuantian Dao Sect . Furthermore, I, Dan Teng, will swear on the Dan family that whatever benefits I gain, I will not forget the two of you . ”

“Ah, who cares about benefits? As long as you, Dan Teng, say the word, my Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect would not frown to walk into wind or fire . ” Ma Xingkong patted his chest sincerely .

Ma Xingkong could easily tell that Xuan Jizi had tied his fate to Dan Teng . In this world, probably only the Xuantian Dao Sect would be stupid enough to go against the Pill Tower . Others weren’t so stupid . Having a good relations.h.i.+p with the Pill Tower would definitely maximize the benefits for the sect . Furthermore, the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect already had a good relations.h.i.+p with the Pill Tower, so expressing his sincerity toward this matter was a must .
