"Yes... sigh..."
Zhao Youting, feeling helpless, could only hold onto the pale blue, glass-like token, sighing as he left.
"I heard that Zhou Xuan is quite fierce. The sect leader was cut down by him, and Senior Brother Zhao Qingxiao had his Dao dispersed by the Gorge True Scripture... Am I really supposed to watch soone as beastly as him at the scene?
If I go and watch, what if I die in Mingjiang?"
The more Zhao Youting thought about it, the more distressed he beca... Zhou Xuan is now acclaid as the foremost under the Nine Incenses, while he, at Eight Incenses, must go there in person?
"Fight Zhou Xuan? Who? ?"
"Had I known, I wouldn’t have co. In this world, what is more valuable than my own life?"
...
In the Observatory, Lady Kong’s toes were suddenly grabbed by a pair of baby-like hands.
An extrely piercing voice erged from the water in the pool.
"Mother, today I’m determined to designate Zhou Xuan as a ’catastrophe figure’, and issue a bounty notice to the nine God Traveling Departnts to capture Zhou Xuan and bring him back to the capital. Why are you obstructing?"
"Earth Child, Earth Child, you’re incredibly brave, but a bit dull-minded..."
"Where am I not smart?!"
A monstrous infant with short limbs clung to Lady Kong’s foot, then climbed agilely up her leg like a nimble monkey...
... In no ti, he had climbed up to Lady Kong’s neck, where the ten fingers of his both hands dug into Lady Kong’s flesh. He then opened his mouth, savagely biting into it,
As he bit down, his tusks pierced through the right side of Lady Kong’s face,
The tusks were like nails, hooking into Lady Kong’s skin and tearing fiercely.
Poof!
Bloody little flowers splashed into the white pool, coloring it a vivid red.
Half of Lady Kong’s face was bitten off, blood and flesh a ss, but she expressed no pain, instead, she laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, Earth Child, you’ve grown stronger lately."
Lady Kong reached out, holding the "Earth Child", gently stroking it.
The "Earth Child" gradually cald down his agitated temper and said, "Why are you stopping from dealing with Zhou Xuan?"
"Because Zhou Xuan has soone backing him."
"I know, but it’s just a fake Witch God."
"That Witch God is not fake, it’s just... it’s hard to say how many levels of Witch God’s skills he actually possesses."
Lady Kong turned her head and said to Earth Child, "Let Zhao Youting and the Tunnel Armor Sect people check Zhou Xuan’s depth; it couldn’t be better."
"With the Tunnel Armor Sect making moves, neither Mingjiang Prefecture nor Ping Shui Prefecture can withstand it. Zhou Xuan will surely invite that Witch God to fight."
Lady Kong said, "If the Witch God’s fighting power is just so-so, then he only deserves to fill a water eye in the Observatory."
Lady Kong was thinking further ahead than Earth Child, and even he acknowledged this.
Earth Child sneered, "Mother, you always think far ahead; I just want to catch Zhou Xuan, but you want to move against the Witch God."
"If we don’t think far ahead, our country surrounded by the endless Sea of Suffering would have long vanished into the starry sky. How else could it have beco the current master of the star sea?"
"Dear child, sleep, sleep... With here, you’re the true invincible divine infant in the starry sky."
Lady Kong cradled "Earth Child" in her arms, gently resting her head on its chest while singing a soft lullaby,
And Earth Child grew ever calr, falling into a deep sleep in the tranquil Observatory...
...
"Toot, toot, toot."
"Dong, dong, dong."
Amidst a bustling, festive sound of drums and gongs, Zhao Youting sat in a sedan chair, carried by sixteen strong n, swaying as they ascended the Tunnel Armor Sect’s mountain.
Going to Mingjiang Prefecture to seek revenge on Zhou Xuan, on the surface, seed like a happy occasion. But Zhao Youting knew this joyful event likely had a funeral mixed into it.
"Even if it is a funeral, I’ll definitely keep it lively."
Zhao Youting thought this way.
His appearance gave the impression of an honest man, but he had no lack of clever tricks inside him,
After leaving Qintianjian, Zhao Youting found a teahouse to "soak" in.
Sipping tea, he thought of counterasures.
"Going to Mingjiang Prefecture with the Tunnel Armor Sect to settle accounts," this task was highly likely to cost his head, and the "Stargazing Token" in his pocket was not an Imperial Sword but a Life-taking Talisman.
"To save my life, I need to invite so of the Tunnel Armor Sect’s old ancestors out."
Those old ancestors, each with imnse strength, were all Supre Elders of the Dunjia, uninterested in worldly affairs; they would never get involved in a vendetta.
"Those Supre Elders each hold themselves in high regard and no longer consider themselves as mortals, but as lofty immortals one after another."
The Supre Elders had little affection for their disciples. Were it not for coveting the Tunnel Armor Mountain’s geomantic Spiritual Energy, which aids them in enlightennt, they would have long gone to scenic places, seeking caves rich in natural treasures for cultivation,
where they wouldn’t care about the sect’s disputes.
"But this ti, no matter what, I can’t let the old ancestors stand by idly."
Zhao Youting decided—to drag those aloof Supre Elders into the muddy waters.
How to involve them?
Of course, by raising the banner and using the tiger’s skin, making the event bigger, fabricating Earth Child’s divine decree, thereby "inviting" the Supre Elders down the mountain.
Precisely because the event needed to be grand, Zhao Youting enlisted a troupe of drumrs and a team of colorful dragon dancers, making a stirring entrance up the mountain.
"I’m soone who loves serene cultivation, never commit wicked deeds, never deceive. At most, I pay attention to appearances and beauty. Though I enjoy frequenting brothels, since when have I shortchanged the madams a single penny?
