Chapter 574 - Planning Ahead (1/2)

“The Venerable One is invincible. Those stupid wolves can only run like the wind…” The Devil Rat Demon Lie Huo rushed forward to compliment.

“Hehe, it’s nothing much.” Fang Ning lightly laughed.

This scheming guy did not know that it could also do this, and perhaps even be better at it. However, it was too greedy and wanted to slip the System empty-handed, so it no longer had the chance.

It had no idea that if it insisted on not exchanging, Sir System would also be helpless.

After all, the treasure had chosen its owner, and a heroic System could not snatch away a treasure that had an owner. That was, unless the person was an evildoer…

If Lie Huo held the Earthly Monument, four mere Celestial Wolves would stand no chance against it. It would not have been so challenged.

This was an example of nature making fools of people. A clever person may become the victim of his own ingenuity.

“Yeah, a clever person may become the victim of his own ingenuity.” A telepathic voice sounded in Fang Ning’s mind, “Mr. Rich Boss, you’re too clever, which is why you keep making mistakes. If my baby Earthly Monument hadn’t been so firm, you would have lost your life.”

Fang Ning felt guilty and quickly changed the subject, “Sir, can you give me a little privacy? Didn’t you go after those four wolves? What happened?”

“Hmph, do you think I’m as dumb as you? Naturally, I caught them all.” The System said disdainfully, “Hurry up and come back. How long are you planning to act? There’s still one more person hiding below.”

Fang Ning was shocked and quickly controlled the yellow dragon and flew into a cloud. Then, he entered the System Space.

Vigilante A fluttered down and lightly said towards the air, “Hiding the head but showing the tail, that’s not how a descendant of a prestigious house should act.”

“I’ve embarrassed myself in front of the Venerable One. I just didn’t want to get involved in this.” Gu Buwei slowly revealed himself from the air.

Lie Huo was shocked upon seeing this. He had no idea that there was someone spying on them.

He immediately cursed silently. ‘This person really did have ulterior motives. When he kindly taught me how to subdue the treasure, it seems that he had another goal after all. I might have been dancing to his tune.’

“It’s fine, you had no ill intentions.” Vigilante A did not pay too much attention to Gu Buwei. Although he saved him in the past, Vigilante A saved many other people as well. He never expected others to repay him for his kindness. He simply demanded an appropriate reward.

Gu Buwei smiled faintly but did not answer. He already helped the Earthly Monument be born successfully and had not been submerged under various incidents or coincidences. The Heavenly Merit had quietly made its way to his hands.

After that, everything he did was to cultivate the ‘Divining by the Clouds’.

That was why he stayed hidden from view and did not interfere. He wanted to see if the future was the same as what he saw.

The facts proved that the difference was not too big. The Devil Rat’s only chance of survival was indeed the arrival of Vigilante A.

His divination technique had improved by leaps and bounds. He believed that if he continued to cultivate, it would probably not be inferior to his ancestors’ Precognitive Divination.

When that time comes…

Gu Buwei stopped his thoughts. He stood to the side and silently watched Vigilante A’s next move.

Vigilante A said to the Devil Rat Lie Huo, “I’ve suppressed those four in my Draconic Arcane Realm and will reform them with love and justice. I believe that before long, they’ll definitely turn over a new leaf and be good people.”

Lie Huo was astonished, “Venerable One, they use their strength to bully the weak, and tried in vain to kill people to seize their treasures. Why are you keeping them alive?”

“Heaven cares for the wellbeing of every living thing. After all, they have not slaughtered innocent people. You do have some internal power struggles with them, so I can’t be too partial…” Vigilante A trailed off.

Lie Huo understood at once, but could not help but think, ‘This Vigilante A really is restrictive. He can’t just kill people whenever he pleases.

‘That’s right, those four wolves came here to kill themselves. Seizing the treasure was only something they did in passing. Their true motive was to seize my authority.

‘To me, what they did was an unforgivable crime, but to Vigilante A, there’s no way to distinguish between good and evil.

‘After all, they didn’t affect the civilians. It’s just an individual conflict between two superiors…’
