Chapter 319 - The Sect Master’s Bewitchment (2/2)
Li Changshou was shocked.
He quickly bade farewell to Elder Wan and rushed to the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
This time, he could not be bothered to ask for the permission of the elder in charge of external affairs. He walked straight to the portrait of the Saint and took out the three incense sticks on the side of his hand. He kowtowed three times seriously.
The portrait of the Saint swayed gently, and a corner of it floated up slightly. A wisp of Dao runes did not disturb anyone. It condensed into two words in Li Changshou’s heart.
“Everything’s fine.” Li Changshou felt much more at ease. Clearly, the Saint knew that the ‘Taiji Painting’ warning had been broken. How much information did the words ‘Everything’s fine’ contain… Li Changshou bowed in front of the portrait for an hour and thought carefully.
At that moment, he could only make two simple deductions.
Firstly, a Saint was spying on him and broke the cover of the Taiji Painting. However, the Saint stopped him in time. That was why the Saint said that everything was fine.
Secondly, it could be that a Saint had seen through him. However, the Saint felt that it was fine, so he said that everything was fine.
The second option was very likely to lead to problems in the future. There was no need to discuss the first option.
Could it be that the person who looked at me just now was the master of the Jade Void Palace or the Green Touring Palace?
If I make bolder guesses, could he be… the old master of the Purple Cloud Palace?
Why?
Why are you looking at me?
Li Changshou had many options in his heart. He kept thinking and eliminating them. In the end, he decided on sixteen possible scenarios. Most of them were related to the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation…
Just as Li Changshou felt that something was amiss, his heart surged.
This time, the message he received was rather clear. He was very familiar with the impulse.
A distinguished guest had arrived at the Sea G.o.d Temple. Li Changshou did not dare to delay. His spiritual will landed in the Sea G.o.d Temple in Anshui City. He looked at the Divine Envoys who were cultivating the battle techniques of the Magi in the front and back courtyards. He searched around, but there was nothing unusual. Why are there so many strange things happening today.. Suddenly, he heard a voice that was deliberately suppressed beside the statue.
“Changgeng… Changgeng? Can you hear me? Changgeng? If you can hear me, reply by making your statue jump!” Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He had to make the statue move!
He used his spiritual will to look at the source of the voice. There was a faint black shadow there. The shape of the black shadow… was slightly plump.
Li Changshou remembered that voice. It belonged to the Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School, Daoist Duobao.
However, why is such a big shot looking for me so sneakily?
There is something abnormal about this matter. It is most likely a trap.
Li Changshou’s statue remained motionless. An old paper effigy that was in the Heaven Immortal realm emerged from the ground. It was ready to show itself at any time.
However, just as Li Changshou’s paper effigy appeared, a huge hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed his paper effigy’s arm. Without any explanation, it pulled him into a familiar… hole.
Based on his insight, the slightly plump Daoist Bai Jing in front of him was really Daoist Duobao.
After all, it was a unique mystical ability, Void Lord.
“Changgeng!”
Daoist Duobao pulled Li Changshou’s paper effigy and squatted down. He looked around worriedly and sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou.
“You’re in big trouble!”
Li Changshou held his breath and focused, but he did not panic. He remained calm and asked, “Senior, what’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong? What else can it be?” Daoist Duobao said anxiously. “To tell you the truth, I just left Green Touring Palace and immediately rushed over.”
“Do you know that Junior Sister Yun Xiao went to the Green Touring Palace to look for Master!?!”
Li Changshou was confused. What does this have to do with me?
“Well, I wonder… what urgent matter does Fairy have?”
Daoist Duobao blinked and chuckled.
“Little fellow, you call me senior, and you call Junior Sister Yunxiao Fairy. No! No! From today onwards, you will call me… Hmm… male immortal doesn’t sound good either…”
Li Changshou was still in the mood to joke. He heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his hands. “Immortal Elder?”
“Yes, yes. It’s just that it sounds a little distant. In the future, just call me Senior Brother.”
Daoist Duobao coughed and did not give Li Changshou a chance to retort. He immediately explained the entire situation. “Previously, Master and I were eating peaches and listening to songs in the palace… Ahem, Master was teaching me how to cultivate hard. Junior Sister Yun Xiao suddenly came and scared me so much that I swallowed the core of my peach!”
“Junior Sister Yun Xiao said that she had doubts and wanted Master to clear her doubts. Master did not dare to be careless. Junior Sister Yun Xiao rarely asked questions, but every question she asked would take Master a long time to answer and she could easily retort… As expected, Master could not answer the question Junior Sister Yun Xiao asked today.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Fairy is so powerful that even the Saint is stumped.”
“You’re being too polite!”
Duobao put his hands in his sleeves and squatted in the corner of the cave with Li Changshou. He muttered, “It’s not the problem of my junior sister that is troubling the Saint. It’s you, Changgeng.”
Li Changshou’s smile froze. Could it be…
Duobao sighed and said, “What Junior Sister Yun Xiao asked seems to suggest that she has fallen in love. There are always thoughts in her heart, and she would always think of someone. There are also traces of that person in the Great Dao. Logically speaking, she has been cultivating for countless years. She should not have been so agitated. She is worried that she has been schemed against and wants Master to help her investigate.”
“Then?” Li Changshou could not help but ask.
Daoist Duobao smiled and said, “Master’s deduction was blocked by the Taiji Painting. He also personally attracted the Immortal Vanquis.h.i.+ng Sword. While the Taiji Painting was distracted, he cut through the power of the Taiji Painting and saw… You.” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. The case was solved!
His previous impulse was actually because the Grandmaster of Heaven used the Immortal Slaying Sword to poke him from afar!
The Primordial World was really too dangerous! “Hehe, are you afraid?”
Daoist Duobao b.u.mped Li Changshou with his shoulder. “Don’t worry. Master said that Uncle-Master insisted on protecting you and isolated his deduction again.” “However, Master also said that he only took a glance at you and knew that you would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future. You are also fated with Jie School. Moreover, Uncle-Master Li would definitely not use such a thing to plot against the disciples of the Dao Sect. He told her not to worry. Do you see that? Master was speaking up for you!”
Li Changshou could not help but be puzzled.
Why did the Grandmaster of Heaven…
Duobao smiled and said, “However, Junior Sister Yun Xiao is really not easy to fool. She even asked Master a few questions about the Love Tribulation. Master did not know how to answer her. Think about it. As the Sect Master, he can’t lose face in front of my junior sister. That’s why he said something mysterious…” “Next, Junior Sister will definitely look for you and ask you five questions. You have to answer according to what I tell you. You have to be in the same situation as Master’s prediction. That way, your relations.h.i.+p with Junior Sister Yun Xiao will be more stable. You can also take care of my master’s pride. Do you understand?” Li Changshou frowned and muttered, “Senior, if I say that I don’t understand…” Daoist Duobao glared at him and stood up. He raised his left hand in the air and shouted, “Where is the Immortal Vanquis.h.i.+ng Array Diagram!?!”
