Chapter 99: Is It Really Happening?
Lin Wudao took a deep breath.
He looked at the Shadow Guard and confirmed once more.
“I asked you to investigate Angry Heaven Palace, didn’t I?”
With a pair of sparkling, naive eyes, the Shadow Guard nodded vigorously and replied, “Yes!”
Lin Wudao calmed himself down.
“So, you said there were some difficulties in clarifying the information about Angry Heaven Palace, right?”
The Shadow Guard nodded again.
Lin Wudao couldn’t hold back any longer.
“Then how did you turn around and wipe them out?”
“You’ve already taken them down, and you still tell me you haven’t found out anything about Angry Heaven Palace?”
The Shadow Guard quickly shook his head to explain.
“No, no, no, Your Honor, it’s like this: originally, we did intend to investigate secretly, but one of our brothers accidentally knocked out the souls of some Angry Heaven Palace members. The brothers thought, ‘These guys are so weak, there must be more to them,’ so they wanted to dig deeper.”
“And gradually it deepened, until there was only one main hall of Angry Heaven Palace left in Qinzhou!”
Lin Wudao sat in a recliner, holding his forehead.
He suddenly felt that the world was very strange and completely insane.
What Lin Wudao hadn’t expected was that when he initially established the Shadow Guard, they weren’t so capable.
Clearly, they had just changed masters.
Why was everything filled with such weirdness?
For a moment, Lin Wudao didn’t know what to say.
But suddenly, Lin Wudao was a bit puzzled.
“Even though Angry Heaven Palace has a hundred thousand members, most are at the Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, and there are very few at the Golden Core stage. Could they really be that weak?”
The Shadow Guard shook his head.
“Actually, the members of Angry Heaven Palace aren’t weak; there are quite a few at both Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages. However, they can’t handle the Divine Soul Pill and Blood Pill from Great Yama, which are just too overpowered.”
“Can you believe it? Even if one of our guys is left with only half a head, a Blood Pill can revive him directly.”
“Our approach is to directly attack their souls or drag them down, and we can blend into shadows or into the ground. No matter how strong they are, they can’t withstand the pressure from our hundred thousand ghostly existence.”
Lin Wudao felt a chill run down his spine.
He never imagined that the joke of changing names he made back then would lead to such a serious situation now.
At that moment, the Shadow Guard asked again.
“So, about the Blood Pill and Divine Soul Pill thing, should we ask Great Yama for more? After all, those are extremely important for us at Yama Palace; they act as currency!”
Lin Wudao looked at the Shadow Guard and said, “Give me a copy of the information about Angry Heaven Palace that we’ve obtained so far. If you want to ask Great Yama for money, we should at least have some merit!”
The Shadow Guard now had a dilemma.
“That’s not advisable; the information we have on Angry Heaven Palace isn’t very accurate. It even feels a bit absurd. We need to wipe out the main hall of Angry Heaven Palace in Qinzhou and repeatedly confirm the intel.”
Lin Wudao slightly closed his eyes.
“Then we’ll confirm it afterward.”
The Shadow Guard nodded.
“Alright, I’ll let the brothers know.”
Lin Wudao suddenly stopped the Shadow Guard.
“Have you taken the Blood Pill and Divine Soul Pill?”
The Shadow Guard nodded.
“Yes, and let me tell you, the taste is pretty good, hard to describe!”
Lin Wudao nodded.
“Got it, you can go now. By the way, since Yama Palace is so powerful now, can you help me investigate someone?”
“Who?”
Lin Wudao’s gaze turned icy.
“The Ninth Holy Son of Heavenly Extreme Sacred Ground!”
The Shadow Guard nodded.
“Alright, leave it to me. But Your Honor, what information do you want to know about him?”
Lin Wudao quickly replied, “Of course everything! Also, how did he suddenly defeat me back then, and how does he cultivate so easily, like it’s as simple as drinking water? And please don’t let the brothers investigate him the same way we did with Angry Heaven Palace. Heavenly Extreme Sacred Ground isn’t something we can deal with right now.”
The Shadow Guard smiled.
“Don’t worry, we won’t be foolish.”
After that, the Shadow Guard went off to handle the matter.
Lin Wudao watched the Shadow Guard leave and had a bad premonition in his heart.
But in the end, he shook his head.
“The Shadow Guard came out of Heavenly Extreme Sacred Ground with me; he shouldn’t make any mistakes.”
For now, Lin Wudao decided not to think about it.
At this moment, he pulled out a storage bag.
Inside were all the Blood Pills and Divine Soul Pills that Liu Shunyi had originally given him.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Wudao carefully took one Blood Pill.
Then he carefully sensed the effects.
“Hmm? Other than feeling my spiritual energy increase, I seem to be hearing some sounds!”
Lin Wudao was somewhat uncertain.
He took another Divine Soul Pill.
“Hiss~ I suddenly feel a tickling sensation in my brain!”
But Lin Wudao did not stop.
He continued to consume them, whether they were Divine Soul Pills or Blood Pills.
By the end, Lin Wudao suddenly felt a clarity wash over his consciousness.
He then saw a long river.
The river surged and flowed.
With countless spiritual energies pouring into his body.
“Boom~”
Lin Wudao’s cultivation level surged to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
At the same time, Lin Wudao realized the name of that river.
“The Yellow Springs!”
“Whoosh~”
As the tide receded, Lin Wudao lost all perception.
When he looked down, he realized the Divine Soul Pill and Blood Pill were all consumed.
Lin Wudao’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Snap~ Ding…”
At that moment, a book dropped unexpectedly from somewhere, hitting him on the head and falling to the ground, followed closely by a brush.
Little Master, there’s more exciting content after this chapter; please click the next page to continue!
Lin Wudao picked up the book with some confusion.
The book looked very ordinary, like something hastily bound in the mortal world.
However, the title was a bit impressive.
“Judgment of Good and Evil, Life and Death Determine, Book of Fate!”
Lin Wudao stared at the book in silence for a long time.
He took the brush and thought for a moment.
He opened the book and wrote down a person’s name.
“Zhang Erhu!”
Before long, the empty line gradually revealed a phrase.
“Official Position at Yama Palace, Judgment of Good and Evil, Determined by Yama King!”
Lin Wudao’s eyes widened.
Then he started to look around.
Finally, he swallowed hard.
“No way, have I really become a judge?!”
After thinking for a second, he wrote down his own name.
Before long, the Book of Fate revealed another line of text.
“Find Zhao Yama when you have time to check your brain!”
Lin Wudao: “…”
He felt like the book was mocking him.
He thought for a moment and wrote down Liu Shunyi’s name.
As a result, the book flew out directly.
Then it spun around and slapped Lin Wudao right on the face.
Caught unprepared, Lin Wudao was sent flying.
Before Lin Wudao could react, the brush also grew enormous.
Eventually, the brush turned into floating dust.
The dust lifted Lin Wudao up.
The technique of Fate directly transformed into a masked man, holding a whip and began to strike Lin Wudao.
“Ah… hey… ah… stop hitting, stop hitting, I was wrong… ah…”
Two hours later.
Lin Wudao, with a bruised face, looked at the Book of Fate and that black brush in his hands, plunged into silence.

Chapter 100: You Want Me to Go?
At this time, in Qinzhou.
In the main hall of Angry Heaven Palace.
Someone was trembling and kneeling on the ground.
“Lord Eighth Rage, we should run. We really can’t hold them back now.”
The Eighth Rage had a terrible expression.
“Just a mere unknown Yama Palace, what’s there to fear? They are nothing but a hodgepodge. Get your spirits up! We are the Angry Heaven Palace, a palace that even Heaven would rage against! We can even intercept opportunities from the Heavenly Way; what are you all afraid of? Get out there and kill!”
Before the Eighth Rage could finish speaking, the hall’s doors suddenly shattered.
A gust of black smoke rushed into the hall.
In the air, there were bursts of eerie laughter.
“Hehehe…”
“Xixixi…”
Then came the sound of chains rattling.
“Pu pu pu…”
Except for the Eighth Rage, everyone else in the hall was pierced through by chains.
Yet they were unharmed.
However, as the chains tightened, the souls of those Golden Core cultivators were instantly extracted.
“Boom…”
A wave of black smoke swiftly engulfed those souls.
“Ah…”
The souls screamed in agony.
In less than a moment, those souls disappeared without a trace.
The scene left even the Eighth Rage with a tingling scalp.
He even absurdly thought: “Ghosts?!”
But how could he say that?
He was a Nascent Soul cultivator.
“A group of spooky things, deal with them—”
Before he could finish his sentence, the Shadow Guard’s hand pierced straight through the Eighth Rage.
Then he directly pulled out the Eighth Rage’s Nascent Soul.
The Eighth Rage’s Nascent Soul looked at the Shadow Guard in horror.
“You…”
He hadn’t finished speaking when the Shadow Guard directly swallowed his Nascent Soul.
“Heh, who isn’t a Nascent Soul?”
However, the Shadow Guard didn’t fully devour this guy’s Nascent Soul.
Instead, he left a small portion behind, pulled out a drop of blood from the Eighth Rage’s body, then sealed it all in a black waist token.
Someone walked out of the black smoke and looked at the Shadow Guard with some confusion.
“Lord, what are you doing?”
The Shadow Guard said profoundly: “This Eighth Rage is a core member of the Angry Heaven Palace. There must be a soul token associated with him, so I am ensuring that the Eighth Rage’s soul token won’t be hidden in the fragments of the Angry Heaven Palace.”
“This way, the headquarters of Angry Heaven Palace will only think that something has happened here but will never suspect that Angry Heaven Palace has already been wiped out in Qinzhou.”
“Of course, doing this has another benefit; even if the headquarters of Angry Heaven Palace suspects something, they won’t send large forces to Qinzhou. They’ll probably just send one or two leaders to investigate. When they do, we will deal with them.”
The eyes of those hiding in the shadows lit up.
But the glowing in their eyes was all a dark red light.
In an instant, the entire Angry Heaven Palace was lit up with fifty blood-red eyes, causing one to feel their scalp tingle.
At that moment, the Shadow Guard said again.
“First, find the intel regarding Angry Heaven Palace’s fall. Record everything you can, and all resources, send everything to the two Yama Kings. Who knows, if they are in a good mood, they might reward me again. You all know the effects of Blood Pills and Divine Soul Pills; I shouldn’t need to say more, right?”
Those hiding in the dark all revealed sinister grins.
Their bone-white teeth, along with their glowing red eyes, created a truly eerie sight.
—
At the Edge of the Ancient Secret Realm.
Here, powerful beings have specifically constructed a temporary small world.
And only those supreme beings can enter this little world.
Inside, the lowest cultivation level is at Nascent Soul Great Perfection.
As for the highest, it’s still unknown.
However, as far as the current understanding goes, the highest cultivation is that of a Void Refinement cultivator.
And in this icy, snowy little world,
A woman in a white long dress, with a cold and stunning appearance, looked pale.
A few days ago, she had been feeling restless.
Because she hadn’t received any news from Angry Heaven Palace.
Moreover, she had even released her consciousness to search for members of Angry Heaven Palace.
As a result, the members of Angry Heaven Palace seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
The woman couldn’t figure it out. She didn’t think there would be any issues with Angry Heaven Palace.
But now that Angry Heaven Palace had vanished without a trace, it made this woman truly confused.
“Could it be that there’s still some plan up top I can’t participate in?”
The woman could only explain it to herself this way.
But as time passed, half a month went by.
The woman began to feel something was wrong.
Because the main hall was also inquiring.
They were asking her what she was doing lately, why their hunting plan had stalled, and why they hadn’t moved with the secret realm about to open.
Only then did the woman finally realize that something had indeed gone wrong with Angry Heaven Palace.
Subsequently, she sent people to investigate again, but in the end, those sent out vanished without a trace.
The woman couldn’t sit still anymore.
To find out, she personally made a trip.
But the result?
Angry Heaven Palace was gone.
Even the main hall had disappeared from Qinzhou.
The woman didn’t believe it.
After reconfirming for many days, she finally got a result.
Angry Heaven Palace had truly disappeared.
The woman hurried to report.
At this time, she held a communication token, waiting for a response from the main hall.
However, in the end, after a long silence, the main hall replied with a phrase: “Where’s my palace?”
The woman: “…”
After hesitating for a long time, she wrote on the communication token.
“It might have been wiped out!”
“This is impossible!”
Then there was another silence, an eerie silence from the communication token.
Finally, the main hall sent out another order.
“Investigate who wiped out my Angry Heaven Palace. Temporarily don’t open the secret realm. Wait until I can send someone to complete the hunting plan.”
The woman took a deep breath.
“Okay!”
Then she cut off the communication.
But suddenly, the woman remembered something.
“How terrifying must it be for someone to wipe out Angry Heaven Palace without a sound? Am I supposed to investigate?”
The woman felt a chill down her spine.
She was only at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage. The Eighth Rage of Angry Heaven Palace, who was even stronger than her Nascent Soul Great Perfection, had died quietly. Was she really going to investigate? Could she survive?
The woman was troubled and felt a sense of despair.

At Qinglian Sect’s Residence.
Liu Shunyi looked in shock at what he held in his hand.
Clearly written on it was Angry Heaven Palace’s plan and some conspiracies following the opening of this ancient secret realm.
It was very detailed.
As Liu Shunyi read on, his expression darkened.
“This Angry Heaven Palace actually grasped the method of opening the secret realm. This disturbance was purposely caused by Angry Heaven Palace to hunt down certain individuals!”
Moreover, when Liu Shunyi glanced at those who had been hunted by Angry Heaven Palace, his pupils involuntarily constricted.
“Their method of reckless massacre feels strangely familiar yet slightly different.”
At this moment, Zhao Gou was also reading another piece of information.
The more he read, the more his expression darkened.
“Not only that, but Angry Heaven Palace seems to be everywhere in the world, and their movements are extremely secretive. Moreover, it seems that every time a secret realm opens, Angry Heaven Palace members are present, even able to seize every key resource of each secret realm.”
Liu Shunyi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Chapter 101: I Am Not a Demon Lord
“This is rather interesting.”
Liu Shunyi chuckled.
Zhao Gou frowned.
“The actions of Angry Heaven Palace defy common sense; it even feels a bit bizarre.”
Zhao Gou looked at the people Angry Heaven Palace aimed to kill.
He was very confused.
“Hunting geniuses, I understand that, but why target those useless individuals or the scions of expelled families, even some beggars? What’s the point?”
Liu Shunyi chuckled.
“Is there a possibility that Angry Heaven Palace knows the future of these individuals?”
Zhao Gou’s eyes widened.
“They can predict the future?”
Liu Shunyi shook his head.
“If they could predict the entrances to secret realms or the top treasures in them, then this world would probably turn into the paradise of fortune-tellers!”
Zhao Gou pondered for a moment.
“Then does that mean someone from Angry Heaven Palace has seen the future?”
Liu Shunyi thought for a moment.
“That could be said, however, if I’m correct, they should not only see the future but also know what happens from then on, along with some other details. I suspect those from Angry Heaven Palace know everything.”
Zhao Gou looked at Liu Shunyi in shock.
“Then wouldn’t this Angry Heaven Palace be very terrifying?!”
Liu Shunyi gave him a look and then glanced at Zhao Gou.
“Isn’t Angry Heaven Palace terrifying?”
Zhao Gou fell into silence.
But suddenly, Zhao Gou noticed a detail.
“Maybe not entirely. At least Angry Heaven Palace didn’t know that the main hall in Qinzhou had been wiped out. This means Angry Heaven Palace isn’t as omniscient as we thought.”
Liu Shunyi felt speechless.
“Isn’t it said that the intelligence of ordinary reincarnators isn’t high? Only in this way does the intelligence of the reincarnator seem monstrous?”
“What’s going on with me?”
No matter if it was the enemies or the friends he met, each was sharper than the last!
Liu Shunyi sighed.
“You…”
Before he could finish, Zhao Gou spoke again.
“But predicting the future, even with divine abilities, wouldn’t be so detailed. There’s no way they’d know Angry Heaven Palace would even slaughter a dog.”
“Only immortals could possibly know such specifics. This suggests that the people behind Angry Heaven Palace could very well be an immortal.”
At this point, Zhao Gou shook his head.
“This is also impossible. While there are immortal caves in this world, those are merely the possessions left over by immortals before their ascension.”
“There are many powerful ones in the cultivation world. If there were a big secret, it would have been exposed long ago, but I can’t guarantee that there aren’t really some immortals acting out.”
Liu Shunyi chuckled.
“Have you considered that a person could cross the river of time and return to this era?”
Zhao Gou’s eyes widened again.
Then he looked at the information in his hands, and at once, everything seemed reasonable.
“What should we do now?”
Liu Shunyi looked at the Shadow Guard. “The traces of Angry Heaven Palace in Qinzhou have been cleaned up, right?”
The Shadow Guard nodded.
“Very clean.”
Liu Shunyi replied.
“Good. Now don’t do anything. Even if members of Angry Heaven Palace come to Qinzhou again, don’t act.”
The Shadow Guard nodded.
Zhao Gou scratched his head.
“If what you’re saying is true and the person behind this truly crossed time, then with their deductions, it’s not unlikely that they might suspect the Hall of Yama is behind it. Are we really going to do nothing?”
Liu Shunyi shook his head.
“We can’t say we’re doing nothing; we just shouldn’t take action against Angry Heaven Palace.”
Zhao Gou didn’t understand. “Why not? I feel like we should kill them one by one.”
Liu Shunyi sighed.
“I can’t casually draw blood or draw souls, you know? I’m not a demon lord.”
Zhao Gou’s face twitched. He felt there was something wrong with that statement but couldn’t pinpoint the issue.
Suddenly, Liu Shunyi’s eyes lit up. “I have a plan. Do you want to hear it?”
Zhao Gou looked at Liu Shunyi suspiciously.
Liu Shunyi waved his hand, signaling Zhao Gou to come closer.
Zhao Gou leaned in slowly.
Then Liu Shunyi said again.
“I have a type of pill called the Forgetting Worries Pill. After I draw their blood and souls, you will heal them, make them take the Forgetting Worries Pill, and then throw them out. Later, you’ll pretend to be a doctor, telling them their spleen isn’t doing well and that they should eat those things to help regulate it. Once they are properly regulated, we can continue our extraction.”
Zhao Gou’s mouth dropped open.
“What did you just say?”
Liu Shunyi: “???”
Zhao Gou reminded him, “You said you weren’t a demon lord?”

Chapter 102: Take Me Away?
Leng Shuang had been secretly investigating the disappearance of Angry Heaven Palace for the past few days.
During this investigative period, she felt a wave of apprehension.
Simply put, the vanishing act of Angry Heaven Palace was just too strange.
Originally, Leng Shuang had braced herself for death.
She had even chosen a burial ground for herself.
But to her surprise, the investigation went surprisingly smoothly—almost too smoothly.
Almost everything she wanted to know seemed to effortlessly whisper into her ears, whether directly or indirectly.
Eventually, she traced her investigation to a mountain cave.
Upon arriving, she was directly shocked to find her legs going weak.
Because she saw the corpses of Angry Heaven Palace members.
It seemed like they had gone through a fierce battle.
But occasionally, she could spot the weapons of Angry Heaven Palace members stabbed into their own bodies.
“Is this… self-inflicted harm?”
Leng Shuang quickly drew this conclusion.
Then, she continued to explore the cave further.
Suddenly, she spotted a black gourd radiating a rich black light.
“Is this a treasure?”
Leng Shuang was shocked.
She couldn’t even tell what grade that gourd was.
She didn’t even greedily want to possess it for herself.
Now that all the members of Angry Heaven Palace were dead, she had no courage to touch it.
In the end, Leng Shuang slowly retreated.
Having marked this location, she hurriedly contacted Angry Heaven Palace.
—
“What? A Supreme Treasure? All the members of Angry Heaven Palace died for that treasure?”
Leng Shuang nodded.
“As it appears, yes.”
The communication token fell silent for a moment, then asked, “Please describe what the gourd looks like specifically.”
Leng Shuang leaned her head towards the inside of the cave.
Then she spoke, “That gourd is black, but it emits a luminous green light and is even enveloped by that luminous green hue, providing some really pleasant sensations.”
On the other end of the communication fell silent for a while.
“Anything else? Any other features?”
Leng Shuang looked again.
And like she saw a ghost, she noticed the gourd had somehow picked up a scratcher and was using it to scratch itself!
Leng Shuang couldn’t be sure.
Rubbing her eyes, she looked again.
The gourd became calm again.
“I don’t think there are any other features!”
The communication token remained silent for a long time.
Leng Shuang could even hear the sound of flipping pages.
After some unknown time, the communication token finally said, “Check the back of the gourd and see if there’s a pattern that resembles a smiling face.”
Leng Shuang’s face turned pale.
“This… I…”
“Don’t waste time, go check quickly.”
“Fine!”
Leng Shuang, steeling herself, pulled up her skirts and cautiously stepped over the corpses, finally arriving at the back of the gourd.
Indeed.
The back of the gourd really had a smiling face.
Leng Shuang hurriedly replied, “Yes!”
The other end inquired again.
“Is that smiling face very gentle?”
Leng Shuang: “???”
Looking at the grotesque smiling face on the gourd, she momentarily didn’t know how to respond.
“Speak!”
Leng Shuang was startled and quickly said, “I guess it could be considered gentle!”
“What do you mean, guess?”
Leng Shuang noticed a drop of water from the cave above falling directly onto the smiling face’s mouth.
It looked as if the gourd was drooling at her.
Feeling terrified, Leng Shuang hurriedly fled the scene.
“Nothing, it was just that smiling face; it was overly gentle.”
But things exploded at Angry Heaven Palace.
“Supreme Treasure: the Purifying Gourd!”
Angry Heaven Palace was suddenly on edge.
Then they said, “Stay there and don’t allow anyone near.”
After that, the communication cut off.
Leng Shuang stared at the pile of corpses, her body trembling.
“I… Oh, this is so frustrating!”
Leng Shuang felt extremely unsettled.
She was originally timid, and now being surrounded by these corpses was sheer torment for her.
Finally, Leng Shuang could only huddle in a corner, covering her face with her hands.
“Poof…”
At that moment, someone let out a fart.
Leng Shuang: “???”
Then an unforgettable scene unfolded before her eyes.
She saw the corpses all turn their heads toward one specific person.
That person looked somewhat embarrassed.
“I couldn’t help it!”
“Ah…”
Leng Shuang screamed.
Then she saw the group of corpses once again fix their gaze upon her, some even dripping blood from their faces.
Leng Shuang flipped her eyes back and collapsed on the ground.
In an instant, the corpses grew uneasy.
Some among them even grabbed the farting person and started to beat him.
“You idiot! If you ruin the Yama King’s plan, we’ll all pay the price—did you ever see how those two operate?”
The person being beaten felt wronged.
“I didn’t mean to! But I simply couldn’t hold it in!”
“Wait a sec; don’t beat him! What do we do about this girl?”
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
“Rearrange her position and let her lie down like before.”
Everyone nodded.
Then they once again helped Leng Shuang up and curled her into position, hands still covering her face!
The chapter isn’t over; please click the next page to continue!
Afterward, everyone lay down again.
Everything returned to stillness.
—
“Tap tap tap…”
At this time, three skeletons were chattering, their jaws constantly moving as if trying to say something.
But in the end, they only made a series of ‘tap tap tap’ noises.
The old man caught in the middle of them felt like crying without tears.
“Oh ancestors, if we can’t speak, can we at least write? You three old bones keep looking at me, I feel uneasy!”
Bam!
One of the skeletons in a long robe hit the old man on the head.
Then it picked up a branch and started to write in the dirt.
“Come, we must go!”
The old man’s eyes widened.
“Wait, old ancestors! I’m not done living yet! Why do you need to take me away?”
Bam!
The old man’s head was hit again.
The other two skeletons also began to write.
“It is necessary to leave; there is a demon lord. If you don’t go, your future will be bright!”
The old man was confused.
“What’s with this saying? Should I glow or something?”
But the old man couldn’t resist the three skeletons.
With a sigh, he said, “Fine, fine, I’ll listen to the ancestors!”
“But I’m hungry, let me eat something before we leave!”
The three skeletons exchanged looks.
They nodded.
—
A short while later, the old man casually arrived at a small town and found a little restaurant.
But when the old man just sat down, he was so scared he nearly jumped up.
Because the little restaurant was already filled with people.
Of course, that wasn’t the main issue.
The problem was that, in the eyes of the old man, these people were radiating a bloody aura.
“This is a calamity of blood!”
The old man scanned around.
So many groups.
Every single one of these people had the calamity of blood.
But upon closer inspection, he became entirely confused.
“Guest, what would you like to eat?”
The waiter came over to inquire.
The old man looked at the waiter and forced a bitter smile, “Sorry, I forgot to bring money!”
Saying that, the old man hurriedly left.
Then the old man found another restaurant with fewer people, opted for a private room, and casually ordered some food.
With no one around, the old man quickly called out softly.
“Old ancestors! Are you there?”
Crash!
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the three skeletons dropped down from the rafters.
Their gazes all locked on the old man.
This scared the old man so much he nearly choked.
“Ancestors, can you not scare me like that? I’m not that old yet! My heart can’t take it.”
One of the skeletons began to write furiously.
“Why are you calling us?”
The old man finally voiced his confusion.
“Ancestors! I just calculated a very strange hexagram. You see those people out there? They all have calamity of blood, but this calamity won’t kill them or injure them. Strangely, this calamity is somewhat stable yet unstable, flashing like a dance!”
“I’ve never seen such a hexagram in my life!”
The three skeletons looked at him, confused.
The scene grew silent for a long time.
At that moment, the old man cautiously asked, “Could it be that I’m not skilled enough?”
The three skeletons disappeared.
Not long after, the three of them returned, their bones suddenly turned blue.
They grabbed the old man and led him away.
“Hey, wait! What are you doing? I’m not finished yet!”
The old man hadn’t completed his sentence when the three skeletons collapsed straight down, lying in a row with their hands crossed over their chests.
They looked so peaceful.
The old man: “???”
What just happened?
At that moment, the old man suddenly heard a familiar voice.
“I often came to this restaurant to eat when I practiced medicine. Don’t underestimate this little shop; the cooking here is exceptional!”
Zhao Gou and Liu Shunyi stepped in from outside.
The old man was stunned.
He then waved at Zhao Gou to say hello.
But just then, a skeleton leaped up, covering the old man’s mouth and quickly pulled him into the private room, slamming the door shut behind them.
Liu Shunyi glanced in the direction of the old man.
Somewhat uncertain, he said, “Brother Zhao, I thought I just saw that fortune teller again!”
Zhao Gou paused for a moment. “Where?”
Liu Shunyi pointed at the old man’s private room.
At this time, that skeleton was still covering the old man’s mouth, remaining motionless.
And Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou were already standing at the door to the private room.
Whoosh!
The door of the private room swung open.
As Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou looked inside, they saw the old man spit out a finger bone.
The ground had three skeletons laying there.
Everyone was silent.
The old man quickly explained, “These three are my ancestors. Didn’t you hear that our family’s mausoleum blew up? I just wanted to find a good feng shui area for them.”
“I just happened to sneeze while moving them, and… heh, what a coincidence!”
Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou nodded in agreement.
Zhao Gou smiled. “Lucky meeting, let’s share a drink. This round is on me!”
Upon hearing Zhao Gou invite him for drinks, the old man certainly wouldn’t refuse.
However, looking at him, Zhao Gou still commented, “How about you calculate another hexagram for me?”
The old man scratched his head. “What do you want to check?”
Zhao Gou still somewhat persisted.
“How about you calculate what kind of person I’m going to become in the future?”
Ever since Zhao Gou had been with Liu Shunyi, he hadn’t done any bad deeds. But he still felt like what they were doing didn’t really feel like good acts.
Hence he thought of having the fortune teller check again.
The old man spoke, “Your birthday and time?”
Zhao Gou nodded.
Once he obtained Zhao Gou’s birthday and time, the old man began to calculate.
Not long after, the old man’s eyes widened.
“You… you’re going to be respected by all in the future, when anyone sees you, they will prostrate! I even saw a line of text!”
Zhao Gou was overjoyed.
“What does it say?”
The old man raised an eyebrow. “The One Who Saves Suffering Zhao Tianzun!”
This chapter isn’t over; please click the next page for more exciting content!
Zhao Gou instantly burst into ecstatic delight.
“Is it true!”
The old man nodded.
At this time, Zhao Gou joyfully exclaimed, “Liu brother, did you hear that? In the future, I’ll be Zhao Tianzun, who saves suffering; this means my medical skills will be known throughout the land!”
Liu Shunyi congratulated him jovially, “Then you don’t have to worry anymore.”
Zhao Gou nodded.
At this moment, Zhao Gou suddenly looked at the old man and said, “How about you calculate for Liu brother as well?”
The old man looked at Liu Shunyi’s face and hesitated before nodding.
“Alright, let’s hear your birthday!”
After a moment of hesitation, Liu Shunyi narrated the time he crossed over to this era.
The old man began divining.
“Hmm? Hmm…?”
The old man continued to calculate, then fell into deep thought.
Zhao Gou frowned. “Speak, what’s going on?”
The old man looked somewhat uncertain.
“This Liu brother may not be as famous as you, but he is also regarded as a justice true gentleman. His reputation isn’t great, but it’s not small either.”
However, the black mist that swirled around him—was that really righteous energy?
Zhao Gou: “???”
A true gentleman?
Zhao Gou stared at Liu Shunyi in disbelief.
Liu Shunyi felt somewhat speechless.
“What kind of gaze is that? Are you not convinced?”
Zhao Gou fell silent for a moment.
What started as an ambiguous excitement quickly turned somber.
“Eh, divination really isn’t reliable.”
Liu Shunyi, dark-faced, said, “I feel you’re insulting me!”
Zhao Gou laughed. “I really mean it; I think divination is not to be trusted.”
Liu Shunyi sighed.
However, seeing the members of Angry Heaven Palace departing, Liu Shunyi decided to bow toward the old man.
“Thank you, old sir.”
Saying that, he tossed the old man a thousand spiritual stones and respectfully took his leave.
Zhao Gou followed suit.
Once Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou left, the three skeletons leaped up.
One executed a flying kick that directly sent the old man sprawling on the ground.
The other two grabbed stools and together began to beat him up.
“Stop, stop hitting!”
