Chapter 1150: A Familiar Feeling
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It’s okay. I really don’t think the assassin was related to any of our new recruits in any way. Just go pack up and rest for a while. Then we’ll set off. I’ll investigate more as we go along then we’ll talk about it when the time comes,” said Ling Chuxi to Zhou Kaitai.
Zhou Kaitai and the others were no longer bothered by the issue when they heard Ling Chuxi’s orders. They had blind admiration and trust towards Ling Chuxi, so they all went to pack their tents. Only Ling Yichen and the others stayed behind.
“Did you guys think the person earlier was familiar?” asked Ling Chuxi and Lan Xinyu in unison.
“His strength suddenly increased by several times. I remember when Lan Xinyu and E Shulan fought in the capital of Nan Xia Country, they also encountered this kind of situation,” Ling Yichen recalled.
“Yeah, I was wondering why it felt so familiar. That b*tch E Shulan also used the same move. Why did I feel stupid for not remembering it sooner?” Lan Xinyu wondered.
Ling Chuxi and the others were embarrassed. ‘How were we supposed to know how stupid you are? You were the one who fought her so shouldn’t you be the one to know? And you even had the nerve to ask others. But realizing your own stupidity meant that you’re on the right path to self-awareness.’
“Well, as long as you know what you are, that’s good. Now, let’s stop talking about this. The more you did, the stupider you’ll look,” Ling Chuxi reminded her.
“I was just saying. Do you guys really think I’m stupid?” Lan Xinyu pouted. “Wasn’t his move earlier called some kind of curse?”
“The Heart Refining Mantra,” said Baili Han.
“Yeah, that’s the one! The Heart Refining Mantra! Why didn’t I think of it earlier?” Lan Xinyu nodded.
By this time, no one could be bothered with her anymore. If she was stupid, so be it. As long as everyone knew, there was no need to attack her anymore.
“Could it be that person be from Deity Temple?” Ling Chuxi recalled that the killer’s lips had moved slightly before the surrounding Spiritual Qi quietly surged. His strength also increased significantly, definitely 70% similar to the Heart Refining Mantra that E Shulan used back then. And yet, he did not make a sound.
“He used something like the Heart Refining Mantra, which is indeed a secret mantra of Deity Temple, but it is one level higher than the Heart Refining Mantra,” said Huangfu Qingjue at this time.
The rest suddenly remembered: Wasn’t Huangfu Qingjue an emissary of Deity Temple? Didn’t the assassin know that? Why did the assassin attack Ling Chuxi, then? Wasn’t he courting death?
“I’m not actually from Deity Temple. I’m just letting them use my identity. Not many people in Deity Temple know about me. Besides, Deity Temple is much more complicated than you think. Although I’m the so-called Divine Messenger, I don’t know much about Deity Temple.” Huangfu Qingjue explained when he saw everyone’s confusion.
Ling Yichen and the others already knew about Huangfu Qingjue’s mysteriousness, so they didn’t ask any more questions. Still, they couldn’t help but frown.
Deity Temple was a mysterious existence, an existence that was so mysterious that people couldn’t fathom it. With Huangfu Qing’s identity as Divine Messenger, even the emperor had to respect him. And yet, even Huangfu Qingjue did not know much about Deity Temple. They were indeed a mystery.
They thought that their arrival at the Sacred Realm of the Sects would mean that they would no longer have anything to do with Deity Temple anymore. However, they did not expect to meet someone from there again. Moreover, their first attack was meant to be a fatal one.
“Who is this so-called lord for him to be able to also mobilize people from Deity Temple, in addition to Poison King Fu and Qiu Yisha?” Ling Chuxi wondered.
