Lan Xihe shook her head; she was tired of the world.
After Lan Xihe waved her hand, a female attendant walked over and bowed. “Tower Master, your orders?”
“Tell them I need to rest for a while. I don’t want to see anyone,” Lan Xihe said softly.
“What about the Evil Sky Pavilion?” the female attendant asked tentatively.
“Tell everyone in the WTC to focus on their duties. I’ll consider the matters regarding the Evil Sky Pavilion carefully…”
“Understood.”
Following that, Lan Xihe leaped out of the 100,000-foot white tower nimbly.
Upon seeing this, the female attendant hastily asked, “Tower Master, where are you going?”
“I’m going out to relax…”
…
In a dark forest in the Southern Kingdom.
After confirming there was no one around, Elder Wu from the Humble White Sect dug a life heart out from the ground.
He looked to the left and the right again before he revealed a smile on his face. “Who would have thought I’d be so lucky to fish a pearl out of a lake? Who knew I’d be so lucky?”
Elder Wu was not young. In the Humble White Sect, he was the most knowledgeable about fierce beats and Birth Chart Beasts. There were all kinds of strange things in the world; there were Birth Chart Beasts that had the ordinary appearances of fierce beasts.
The life heart in his hand was from a flying beast called Xuan. They were usually black and resembled swallows. However, the life heart in his hand was from a scarlet Xuan. Perhaps, it was still young, when it flew with the goshawks, it was difficult to distinguish it. When it was killed earlier, he had seized the opportunity and picked it up.
After Elder Wu kept the life heart and flicked the soil off his robes, he felt incredibly pleased with himself. He stroked his beard and muttered to himself, “I really don’t want to stay in the Humble White Sect any longer. After forming the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar, I have to think of a plan…”
He continued to think for a while when he suddenly thought about Lu Zhou. In his opinion, Lu Zhou must be a newly risen 12 Chart expert, therefore, Lu Zhou must be in urgent need of manpower. He thought, with his ability, Lu Zhou would surely accept him and make him an elder.
He nodded. ‘Alright, It’s decided then. Before that, I have to find a place to activate my Birth Chart.’
Following that, Elder Wu rushed in the southeastern direction and soon arrived at a ruin. He looked around cautiously and found a hidden corner.
At this moment, a voice rang from behind him.
“Hello.”
Elder Wu shuddered and instinctively turned around. He saw a young man. “You are?”
“I’m looking for someone.”
‘… How does that answer my question?’ Elder Wu asked skeptically, “Why are you looking for someone in the ruins?”
The Land of Chaos was fraught with dangers. Elder Wu was certain there was something wrong with the young man. He instinctively adjusted his robes and mulled over his next actions.
The young man straightened his back and said, “I’m looking for my senior brothers. They like to pretend to be cool. Compared to me, they’re a little lacking…”
“…” Elder Wu shook his head. “I don’t know anyone who could be your senior brothers.”
“Alright then.” The young man looked to the left and the right as he scratched his head and muttered to himself, “Strange. The black talisman was ignited here.”
Elder Wu was a little annoyed. He pointed west and said, “You can go there and have a look.”
“Thanks.” The young man rushed into the distance.
Elder Wu shook his head. “Young man, you don’t know the immensity of Heaven and earth. Don’t blame me if you encounter fierce beasts.”
He walked to the hidden corner again and sat down before he brought out his life heart. Perhaps, he had been looking forward to obtaining a life heart for so long, he was slightly unwilling to use it. He held it in his hand carefully and admired it.
As he continued to admire the life heart, tears began to stream down his face. ‘It hasn’t been easy…’
After a moment, he finally calmed down and manifested his avatar. He was filled with excitement and nervousness when he looked at his lotus seat.
He inhaled deeply. He was about to place the life heart on the lotus seat when…
Woof!
The sudden barking of a dog interrupted him, causing him to jump. He turned around in annoyance. When he saw a fierce beast that resembled a dog, he exclaimed in shock, “Qiong Qi, the growth-type fierce beast?”
“Oh, you recognize it?” The young man standing on the crumbling wall looked surprised.
“…”
Elder Wu looked up in shock. “Y-y-you… How did you…”
“Oh, my apologies. My dog greeted you first before I could. Are you planning to activate your Birth Chart? I didn’t mean to interrupt you; please continue. Don’t mind me…”
“…” Elder Wu was in a very bad mood at this moment. ‘When you pee, will you let others watch?’
In the end, Elder Wu took a deep breath and said, “I still have something to do; I’ll take my leave first.” Following that, he rose to his feet, preparing to leave.
“Don’t be anxious… I have something to say…”
“Speak.”
“The place you pointed out earlier… There’s no one there…” Mingshi Yin said.
“What does that have to do with me? If there’s no one there, you can look elsewhere, right?” Elder Wu felt speechless.
“I was just asking for directions. Don’t be angry,” Ming Shiyin said when he saw how flustered the other party was.
“Young man, this is the Land of Chaos. You’re fortunate you ran into me…” Elder Wu said before he turned to leave.
Ming Shiyin nodded and said, “Thank you for your advice, senior. How should I address you?”
Elder Wu rested his hands on his back before he said, “I’m the First Elder of the Humble White Sect.”
“I’ll remember it… We’ll meet again in the future.”
“Aren’t you looking for someone?”
“What’s the point? My Second Senior Brother is so elusive that it’s impossible for me to find him. I’m just doing a cursory search and trying my luck with finding a life heart…” Mingshi Yin said with a smile as he looked at Elder Wu’s waist.
“…”
Elder Wu frowned and glanced at Qiong Qi. “Young people are ignorant and fearless. Which sect are you from? If you want a life heart, join the Humble White Sect.”
“That won’t do. My master will beat me to death.” Mingshi Yin quickly shook his head as he continued to look at Elder Wu’s waist.
“Your master?” The more Elder Wu looked at Qiong Qi, the more pleasing Qiong Qi looked to him. A hint of greed flashed in his eyes before he quickly concealed it.
Mingshi Yin cleared his throat and said, “My master is the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion.”
‘The Evil Sky Pavilion Master? Why does it sound so familiar?’ Elder Wu racked his brains for a moment. He could not remember where he had heard of it before.
At present, the rumor of a 12 Chart expert from the golden lotus domain was spreading like wildfire in the red lotus domain, the black lotus domain, and the white lotus domain. However, Elder Wu who had met the 12 Chart expert did not even realize he had met said person.
After a moment…
‘Wait a minute… Didn’t Shen Xi mention the Evil Sky Pavilion when he was talking to Wu Chao?’
“…”
Elder Wu’s heart trembled as he asked, “Does your senior brother carry a saber at his waist?”
Mingshi Yin nodded. “That’s right! Why? Is my Eldest Senior Brother so famous?”
An ominous premonition rose in Elder Wu’s heart as he continued to ask, “Then, does your Second Senior Brother like to carry a sword in his arms?”
Ming Shiyin’s eyes lit up. “What? My Second Senior Brother is so famous as well?”
“…” Elder Wu felt the urge to cry; he had offended another big shot again. He even proudly announced his identity, cutting all paths of retreat.
“Why do you look so pale? I’m not going to steal your life heart. I’m just asking for directions; is there a need to react like this?” Mingshi Yin asked as he waved his hand at Qiong Qi.
Elder Wu said with an unnatural expression on his face, “No, no, no, you misunderstand me…”
Mingshi Yin nodded. “That’s good.” Then, he called out, “Doggy, let’s go!”
Woof! Woof! Woof!
“Stop barking! That’s someone’s life heart, not ours!” Mingshi Yin reprimanded Qiong Qi.
Elder Wu. “…”
Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!
Qiong Qi continued to bark relentlessly.
“Hey, why are you so stubborn?”
At this moment, Qiong Qi lowered its head and arched its back. A dog that was about to attack would not bark.
Elder Wu trembled as he began to retreat. He discovered Qiong Qi was actually growing bigger and bigger at this moment. In just a blink of an eye, its size was bigger than that of a horse.
Qiong Qi bared its fangs.
Elder Wu’s expression was rather unsightly at this moment. “T-this fierce beasts… Why is its growth rate so strange?”
At this moment, Elder Wu saw a flash of strange energy in Qiong Qi’s eyes. His eyes widened as he stumbled back. He fell to the ground; his entire body trembled violently. “Fierce beast from the G-great Void?”
Qiong Qi took a step forward.
Without any hesitation, Elder Wu took the life heart at his waist and toss it at Qiong Qi.
Qiong Qi easily caught it in its mouth. Its hair that stood on end earlier lay smoothly on its body now, and it was no longer in the posture of attacking.
At this time, Mingshi Yin leaped onto Qiong Qi’s back and ordered sternly, “Doggy, return it to him!”
