"Moreover, even if you could truly invite an enlightened High Monk from the Western Regions, they might not necessarily be able to completely eradicate Xunyang from this world!" Nanjiang added.
The chief servant still did not speak. He stood erectly, quietly waiting for Nanjiang to continue.
"When Xunyang was inside my body, he was injured a few tis. I once heard him ntion a na."
The chief servant’s eyes widened involuntarily. Did I hear that correctly? he wondered.
"You an, Xunyang was injured while controlling your body? And his injury, you’re referring to his Divine Soul?"
"Of course. Don’t tell he tripped and fell, or cut his hand peeling an apple?" Nanjiang glared at him.
Seeing Nanjiang glare at him, the chief servant couldn’t help but think, This Nanjiang King is truly difficult to get along with...
"So, do you know how his Divine Soul was injured? Can it recover quickly after being injured? Or are there any unusual symptoms?" The more information I get now, the more advantageous it will be! the chief servant thought, then urgently asked.
"That’s what I want to tell you. His Divine Soul was injured, and not lightly. It cannot recover easily. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had a chance to escape; I would have been completely devoured by him long ago."
"To be able to silently harm Xunyang’s Divine Soul, that person must also possess a powerful Divine Soul. Are you implying there was a third soul within your body that you didn’t notice?"
The chief servant slowly began to walk towards Nanjiang, caution and apprehension filling his eyes.
"No, no, no! You don’t need to speculate; things are not as you think. There is no third soul in my body!" Nanjiang, hearing his words and seeing his actions, hurriedly explained out of fear.
"Really?" The chief servant stared intently into Nanjiang’s eyes, his face a mask of vigilance.
"True! Truer than pearls! I know who that person is! As long as you can find him, I believe destroying Xunyang shouldn’t be a major issue!"
Upon hearing this, the chief servant couldn’t help but press, "Who is that person? Is he from the Buddhist path or a Daoist Sect?" He suddenly grew very excited and, without waiting for Nanjiang to speak, began his own analysis.
"The Daoist Sects haven’t produced any outstanding talents in recent years. Although there are so sects preserved from three thousand years ago, hidden away in secluded mountains, their outstanding disciples will erge to gain experience before their cultivation fully matures. For example, the National Master of Great Han Country in the Central Plains, prominent figures in Xiling and Dongyue, and the heads of Academies and Confucian institutions hidden in secluded mountains—these are all havens where cultivators go for training!"
The chief servant paced around, muttering to himself as he analyzed. Nanjiang didn’t interrupt. Although he knew soone could restrain Xunyang, he had no idea who that person was, so he was also keen to hear the chief servant’s analysis.
"The Daoist Sects have indeed produced two outstanding talents recently. National Master Feng Wushang, for instance. It’s said that when the Great Wizard was conducting a ritual at the border between Nanjiang and Great Han, attempting to alter the national destiny between Great Han and Nanjiang, Feng Wushang suddenly appeared and interrupted it. Later, this matter was temporarily settled by Princess Ata personally leading an envoy mission to Great Han, preventing war from breaking out for the ti being."
At this point, the chief servant slapped his head hard. "That Altar at the border of Nanjiang and Great Han might not have been set up by the Great Wizard himself. Could it be... was that Altar also part of Xunyang’s conspiracy?"
Nanjiang looked at the chief servant with a mixture of helplessness and admiration. This man might not be very bright, but he possesses a strong sense of righteousness! Such a person is rare in a place like Nanjiang!
"During the incident at the Altar, the Great Wizard’s staff vanished without a trace. It was said that Sect Leader Ji Youyuan of the Illusion Sect from Qixia Mountain in the Central Plains was also present. His cultivation has already reached the Grand Master realm, comparable to the Great Wizard. Could it be... the person you’re referring to is Sect Leader Ji Youyuan of the Illusion Sect?" the chief servant said excitedly, then his tone shifted. "Or could it be Feng Wushang, the National Master of Great Han?"
Nanjiang shook his head. "I’m not sure. Think again. Is there anyone who fits the description more closely?"
Soone who fits the description more closely? The chief servant murmured to himself. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he grew even more excited.
"How could I forget him? You even ntioned his dharma na just now—Master Liao Kong, the foremost figure in Buddhism in the Central Plains!"
"Why would the chief servant think it’s him?" Nanjiang asked.
"When I was a child, I had a fortuitous encounter. I t a kind-looking old monk who told I had an affinity with Buddhism. However, he said my worldly ties were not yet severed and that I had a mission to fulfill in the future, so I could not convert to Buddhism at that ti. Therefore, he gave an item for protection."
"So the item he gave you was a Buddhist Relic?" Nanjiang interjected.
"Your Majesty, how did you know? I haven’t told anyone about this!" If word got out to the Jianghu that a young man from Nanjiang, a practitioner of Witchcraft, possessed a supre Buddhist treasure, this small region of Nanjiang would likely be plunged into chaos and suffering.
Nanjiang rolled his eyes and said through gritted teeth, "The item you used to suppress Xunyang’s Divine Soul was a Buddhist Relic. I heard it when Xunyang ntioned it."
"Oh! So that’s how it is!" the chief servant exclaid, a look of sudden understanding on his face.
"So, among these people, who do you think is most likely the one who injured Xunyang’s Divine Soul?"
The chief servant shook his head. "That’s hard to say..." After speaking, he couldn’t help but stare at Nanjiang. "Huh! Your Majesty, don’t you already know? Why are you asking ?"
Nanjiang was speechless. It’s like a chicken talking to a duck! The chief servant analyzed for ages, and this is the outco...
"I don’t know that person’s na, but I heard Xunyang grit his teeth and roar the three words, ’Tian Dao Zi’!"
"Tian Dao Zi? What does that an?"
Nanjiang didn’t answer, but continued, "Not only those three words, but he also ntioned sothing about a ’Lucky Star’! He said that as long as ’Tian Dao Zi’ died according to his sche, no one would be able to beco a stumbling block on his path to breaking the Seal!"
The chief servant felt a jolt of shock. !!!
