Chapter 662 - Bai Su’s another Divination
With a long exhalation.
Bai Ming regained his calm face and looked at the vast mountains and rivers outside the palace, “I lost a pawn for nothing. Except from Ling Qingshui, I’ve never suffered such a big loss.”
In the hall of the Ni Sect, Su Zipei froze in place.
She wondered why her master had been always accurate but miscalculated this time.
Where was nature’s punishment?
Why the Ni Sect was still intact and not affected in the slightest after she did exactly as her master instructed?
“Your information is indeed shocking.”
Hua Yan no longer hid the pity in her eyes, “How do you know that the information you heard from the Fate Ancestor is true? How do you know that he isn’t lying to you?”
“He won’t!”
Su Zipei’s mind was in turmoil, and she shook her head repeatedly, “It can’t be false. I overheard the information!”
“Then how do you know if he deliberately let you eavesdrop on it and convey the wrong information to us?”
Hua Yan pointed upward, “The thunder just now is the best proof. Even the natural law doesn’t believe you, so why do I have to believe you? Please leave now. Someone come and see the guest out!”
Su Zipei was a total mess. Now she only wanted to return to the Fate Palace and ask her master what went wrong to cause the failure.
Seeing Su Zipei leave the palace in haste, Bai Su stepped out of the dark and followed behind her from a distance. It wasn’t until she left the gate of the Ni Sect and was struck to fly ash by a sudden thunder punishment in the sky that he confirmed his guess. Bai Su turned around and went back with a smile on his face.
He won the confrontation this time!
“In addition to Su Li, now I have lost to someone else.”
Bai Ming stood in front of the palace and chuckled. Then his eyes lit up, “My dear brother, have you finally stopped hiding? Hahaha… it’s interesting.”
“Your Excellency, what shall we do now?”
The lord of the Shengtian Shrine behind Bai Ming couldn’t help but ask.
Bai Ming smiled and spat out a word, “Wait.”
“Wait?”
When the lord of the Shengtian Shrine was full of doubts, Bai Ming turned around with a light flashing across his eyes, “We’ll wait for the fish to throw itself into the net. That… is a huge fish.”
Seeing Bai Ming’s complete confidence, the lord of the Shengtian Shrine was also relieved. But at the thought that Su Zipei was the new generation Holy Girl of the Fate Palace and died in front of the gate of the Ni Sect in a twinkling, he was faintly disappointed.
A few days later, the stone dust in the Chimo Circle’s temple was enough to build a new temple.
When bored, Chi Tian really used the stone dust to build a prototype of a black stone temple beside his temple. As the stone dust increased, its scale was expanding gradually.
“Our master should be bored again…”
The king warriors couldn’t help but whispers.
“Yes. Isn’t the temple built because of his boredom?”
“Now the corpse demon in the Death Region has been gotten rid of by Grand Elder Su, and the Qingshui Circle is not allowed to go to. If it were me, I would be bored, too.”
When the crowd was actively transmitting the sound in silence, a sudden startling bang came from Su Li’s palace. Then many king warriors were dumbfounded to see a huge black lotus flower suddenly bloom on top of that palace.
Next, the palace collapsed with a loud crash…
Seeing this scene, Bing Feng was shocked and couldn’t help but praise, “Our master is so wise. He has long expected that the palace would be bound to be destroyed when Grand Elder Su successfully harvested her magic power!”
The crowd came to understand suddenly.
“I see!”
“I’m short-sighted. He deserves to be a master!”
Hearing their praise, Chi Tian twitched his mouth slightly. He really didn’t think that much
With a swish.
A black light appeared out of nowhere from behind Chi Tian and stabbed towards him at full speed. Chi Tian’s face changed slightly, and he felt a sharp and unusual coldness. However, he didn’t turn sideways to dodge and turned to grab the black light steeply!
Poof!
The black light penetrated through Chi Tian’s palm and seemed not to sense the slightest hindrance to hit into the temple door.
Boom…
Another palace collapsed and set off smoke dust.
Chi Tian ignored it and just looked down at the blood hole penetrated on his palm with bright eyes.
When in the Ciyun Building, Su Li was just a person of potential to him, but how long had it been since then?
In the first place, Su Li had a demigod body and broke the inexorable law that the Human Clan could not enhance their physical bodies except for ascending to immortality. But this time she directly showed no worse strength than him.
“Brother Chi Tian, open the Dixin again, please.”
Her voice came into Chi Tian’s ears from the collapsed palace. From far to near, when it was the last word, Su Li stood in front of him.
“With your strength, we will walk through the Dixin again. My choice is right.”
Chi Tian laughed heartily, while Su Li gave a polite smile. Their figures vanished in a twinkling, leaving Bing Feng looking at the two ruins in distress. Chi Tian rebuilt a lot of temples, so a new temple didn’t need to be built. However, Bing Feng was afraid that the task of cleaning up these two ruins would become his.
Su Li returned to the Dixin. The Circle Nucleus didn’t show a human face and only manifested the Star Gate. Compared to the Star Gate summoned by Su Li, the one summoned by the Circle Nucleus had a thicker color.
Su Li no longer hesitated and stepped directly into the Star Gate and disappeared.
…
In a remote courtyard, a kind-looking woman was watering the vegetable patch. Besides, a ray of warm sunlight fell through the window behind her on the sick-looking young girl on the bed.
At one point, the young girl opened her eyes suddenly and revealed a spiritual gaze.
“This place is…”
Su Li sat up and recalled everything soon. After she stepped into the Star Gate, did she become another person suddenly?
“The Star Path Test…”
Su Li was pondering and heard a sudden push at the door, “Chen, are you awake?”
She hurried to lie down and control her breath with her eyes closed.
After entering the room, the woman saw no movement on the bed. Instead of exiting the door, she walked silently to the window and reached out to touch Su Li’s neck.
Su Li felt goosebumps on the back. Did the woman have bad intentions for her?
She was new here and didn’t yet understand what was happening, so she had to go on pretending to sleep. At the same time, she secretly built up her strength in case something bad would happen, but she had no power in her current body. It was still a challenge whether she could beat the woman.
The woman’s palm force was quiet but unusually cold. In the blink of an eye, her palm was only an inch away from Su Li’s neck. Then it stopped for a moment and was withdrawn by the woman. A while later, Su Li heard the door close.
Su Li was using her head, but she didn’t open her eyes in case the woman was still watching her in the dark.
In this moment, a thought that didn’t belong to her came for a reason.
“So the body owner is named Duan Hongchen. Duan Hongchen… I seem to have heard this name somewhere…”
Su Li couldn’t help but think back, and scenes flashed quickly under her eyes.
All of a sudden, her pupils shrank!
One scene zoomed before her eyes. That was her first challenge to the Star Path. In the long starry sky, the first line of writing on the ethereal ancient script book like a list shone in her memory
“The Master of Nimo Star, Duan Hongchen!”
Star Master Duan Hongchen!
Su Li remembered that she was called “The Third Person through the ages” on the list. In the upper line, it was the Great Lord of the Kuiyu Palace she heard many times from Black Lotus. But at that time, it appeared on the list as “Master of Kuiyu Star, Lin Chen!”
The name of Star Master Duan Hongchen was above the Kuiyu Palace’s!
Besides, thinking of the Circle Nucleus’ description, so the Star Path’s creator was the Master of Nimo Star, Duan Hongchen, right?
This series of speculations caused Su Li to feel suffocated.
“This time, has the Star Path Test put me into Duan Hongchen’s memories? Is this her childhood? Do I have to achieve a certain condition to be considered as completing the test?”
Su Li’s mind was racing while the memories she received were close to complete.
The mortal village where Duan Hongchen lived during her childhood was destroyed by martial arts practitioners overnight. Because of her father’s resourcefulness, she picked up her life and became the adopted daughter of the Jin family, an aristocratic family in Fanglong City.
However, the Jin family adopted her not because their family head was kind. She suspected that her adoptive mother identified her as the survivor of the village!
After such a thrill just now, Su Li didn’t need to doubt anymore. A female Practitioner of the Jindan Realm dressed herself as an ordinary woman, which was a bit of a cover-up.
“The mortal village was destroyed, but the practitioner is still tracking the orphan. Something is most likely coveted.”
Su Li gently held the black pebble hanging in her arms. Was this the treasure?
Su Li searched her memory and found that the pebble was the only thing Duan Hongchen had brought out of the village during her childhood.
As expected, if she could escape from the woman, become strong, and even could track down the murderer who destroyed the village, it would be regarded as her completion of the test.
Su Li finally figured out what was going on. She opened her eyes and frowned.
She needed to defeat a superior enemy. Although she was sure to break the dilemma, it would cost her a lot of time. Now what she lacked most was time.
…
“Senior Bai, thanks to your brilliant strategy to ruin Bai Mo’s plan!”
“I saw Bai Mo defeated for the first time. It’s really gratifying!”
The grand elders of 27 sects gathered in the hall of the Ni Sect and praised Bai Su. On the side, Hua Yan watched them with a quiet smile and looked relaxed a lot.
Only Bai Su was still cool and stern.
He knew Bai Mo’s ability well. Although they took an advantageous position this time, Bai Mo just lost a minor pawn, which didn’t affect the whole.
Without knowing Bai Mo’s true purpose, Bai Su had no way of calculating what to do next.
“Senior Bai.”
Xiang Hua stood up to salute Bai Su and asked with respect, “The Fate Palace is in charge of hundreds of the grand elders of the holy sects, but they were all seriously injured in the Ciyun Building Battle by Grand Elder Su and even lost their poisonous insects. Then the Fate Palace shrank in their place and only played dirty tricks. Now we have smashed Bai Mo’s plot. If we gather the martial arts practitioners and attack the Fate Palace, we will certainly win a big victory!”
Xiang Hua’s eyes were burned with a strong war intention, “Senior Bai, it’s time to start a war!”
Bai Su furrowed and glanced around at the others. They all had high battle spirit. After thousands of years of oppression from the Fate Palace, they needed a victorious battle to avenge their past humiliation. But… could they start a war?
Bai Bo was scheming and calculating. Was it true that he had no other helpers than a hundred grand elders of the holy sects?
In the face of their expectant eyes, Bai Su took a deep breath and said, “To be cautious, I’ll take another divination. Just wait, please.”
Hearing this, Xiang Hua hurried to bow, “Senior Bai, you have extraordinary divination skills. Thanks for the trouble.”
The others echoed and gave praise. They knew nothing about astrology and didn’t realize what it meant for Bai Su to perform divination in the state of astrology.
Only Hua Yan, who sat quietly on the side, frowned and hesitated.
“Lord Hua, please prepare the articles on the jade slip and a quiet secret room.”
Hua Yan took the jade slip from Bai Su and nodded gently, “Thanks to the gifts presented by 27 sects. These items are available in the warehouse. I’ll get them ready right now.”
