Chapter 429 [Saints Fighting]

When Zhan Li awoke again, she found herself already lying on the ground at the mountain top on the south side of the island.

Her shoes and skirt were still covered in dirt.

Suddenly awakened, Zhan Li abruptly sat up from the ground, and then she saw that the Saint was still there, sitting not far from her on a rock.

However, with her back facing Zhan Li.

"Remember, what you see and hear tonight, from now on, do not speak a word about it.

It is best not to even recall it in your mind, or ponder upon it."

Zhan Li didn’t understand, but had to bow respectfully.

"You may speak now, just remember to heed my words."

"Disciple... dutifully follows the Saint’s decree."

Zhan Li slowly spoke.

Then, suddenly she heard a rumble of thunder from the direction of the sky.

Raising her head, she saw that the previously clear, serene night sky was now overcast with rolling clouds, as if a very distant thunder could be heard within.

Zhan Li was startled and instinctively said, "This sky..."

"No need to worry, it’s watching me.", the Saint sighed: "Tonight I spoke too much, pondered too much, and did things a bit unrestrained.

Although I tried hard to conceal it, there was still some perception, it’s common for it to keep an eye on me."

After speaking, the Saint slowly stood up, turned around, and faced Zhan Li.

This time, the Saint removed the barrier of mana, no longer obstructing Zhan Li’s sight.

And Zhan Li could clearly see the Saint’s posture and appearance!

Her brows and eyes were elegant and refined, the tails of her eyes captivating, seemingly a stunning beauty at first glance.

Though they couldn’t be sure if this was the Saint’s true appearance, just this visage resembled that of a young maiden.

The Saint’s eyes seemed to carry a faint hint of fatigue, and she slowly said, "Remember what I’m about to say."

Zhan Li was brought to her senses abruptly, not daring to gaze directly at the Saint’s eyes and visage, she bowed her head and said, "Disciple complies."

"Next, someone will come to take you away from here."

"Leave? To where?"

"Out."

Out?

Zhan Li was surprised.

Then her expression changed dramatically: "Is... is it leaving this wor..."

Before she could finish her words, suddenly a crashing thunder echoed in the sky above, the sound so loud that Zhan Li was immediately shaken.

The Saint frowned slightly, looked up at the sky, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.

She looked up at the sky, her gaze filled with suppressed anger, but she lowered her voice and slowly said, "Do not fear, it is not directed at you, but at me.

If you speak of leaving alone, it won’t mind you.

But I am a Saint, it watches me all the time, you speaking such things in front of me gets its attention."

After speaking, the Saint took a deep breath: "Alright, as long as you understand, someone will come soon, and they will take you away... you..."

After a pause, the Saint suddenly changed her tone, this time gentler.

"Be careful along your journey!

I do not wish to deceive you. Frankly speaking...

This journey will not be easy. You are now a mortal, having lost all cultivation, wanting to ’leave’, it will be immensely difficult! Especially when you have to traverse... that place.

There are arrangements for escorting you, but even so, unforeseen events are possible. You know... crossing that place, even for a cultivator, is not easy."

"Disciple understands." Zhan Li quickly nodded.

"Also, the things you seek...

I have told you, in the Domain Realm, attempting Scattering and Rebuilding is incredibly difficult, not to mention you are of Ghost Race, where the innate Cultivation Technique is flawed, making rebuilding hopeless.

So... your path of rebuilding is not here, but ’there’, do you understand?"

Zhan Li’s expression was complicated: "Disciple understands... but not entirely."

"When you leave, find a person... I have calculated, his fate should be similar to yours, with a destiny of breaking and then establishing anew.

Only we do not know if by now he has found the path.

If he has found it, upon meeting him, you will naturally have an opportunity.

If he has not yet found it... you..."

At this point, the Saint stopped speaking, merely looked quietly at Zhan Li.

Zhan Li immediately understood, exhaled, and slowly said: "Scattering and Rebuilding is inherently a faint hope. I am willing to risk everything, just to strive for that ’chance in a million’. Even if it doesn’t work out in the end, I will have no regrets."

After a pause, Zhan Li asked again: "I just do not know who that person is? How do I find him once I am out..."

"That is an old acquaintance of yours, you will understand upon seeing him."

The Saint shook her head and said: "As for how precisely you will meet him, I cannot say... if I voice it out, it leaks you, and it leaks him."

Zhan Li was taken aback but dared not ask further.

After all, the Saint’s arrangements always have reason.

At this time, the Saint slowly turned, looking at the edge of the mountain top: "Arrived?"

At the edge of the mountain top, a small figure slowly climbed up, walking a few steps forward, then knelt at a distance on the ground.

A coarse, old voice: "I greet the Saint!"

But mismatched with his voice, his appearance was that of a child.

Upon seeing this person, Zhan Li shivered: "East Sea Sword Master!"

She had interacted a few times with this Sword Servant of the Ghost Race Elder Ancestor in the Ghost Race, how could she not recognize? And how could she not be afraid?

This individual disagrees and then starts a massacre, slaying all the fierce characters of the Black Wood Tribe!

Zhan Li always felt that during the incident at Black Wood Tribe, if she made any mistakes, the East Sea Sword Master might have slaughtered her as well!

East Sea clearly saw Zhan Li, but merely nodded slightly at her without saying hello, respectfully saluted the Saint, then stood with hands lowered.

After the Saint looked at East Sea for a couple of moments, she nodded: "You are a protector of the way? That’s fitting."

East Sea slowly replied: "If the Saint says it is fitting, then it is fitting."

The Saint softly said: "On your journey, remember only one thing."

"Please issue your decree, Saint!" East Sea’s tone was stern.

"You may die, but she cannot! You might not get out, but she must!"

These words seemed unreasonable, but East Sea heard them as unsurprising, his expression unchanged, simply nodded earnestly, lowered his head respectfully: "Disciple accepts the command, even if it means a hundred deaths, I will not fail your orders, Saint."

Then the Saint looked at Zhan Li, who immediately understood under the Saint’s gaze.

She too bowed respectfully to the Saint.

Suddenly, a thought sprang forth in the woman’s mind.

She took a deep breath: "Disciple swears from this moment, to remain silent, not uttering a single word until I meet that person outside, obediently becoming a pair of ’eyes’."

After speaking, she suddenly raised her hand and drew the dagger tied to her thigh.

Then, she stuck out her tongue...

With a slash, this woman actually cut off her own tongue!

Seeing her in pain fall to her knees, mouth full of blood, yet still fiercely lifting her head, looking at the Saint.

The Saint sighed: "To gamble everything for a chance at scattering and rebuilding cultivation, indeed you are ruthless. You didn’t have to go this far."

Zhan Li shook her head.

Beside her, East Sea suddenly spoke: "The Cave Maiden fears accidentally saying something along the way, or perhaps fears speaking in her sleep."

The Saint nodded: "Being meticulous is good, truly ruthless as well.

Forget it, go. Ghost Race girl, your actions today will surely be rewarded if you walk that path in the future. The descendant of a Celestial Being can naturally regenerate limbs."

East Sea sighed, stepped forward, took out an elixir, helped Zhan Li take it to stop the bleeding in her mouth, then gently tapped her forehead, knocking her unconscious.

Then he picked up Zhan Li, nodded firmly to the Saint, turned, and went down the mountain.

After the two had left, the Saint returned to the other side of the mountaintop, looking at the distance, suddenly smiled.

"Since you’re here, why not come out and say hello?"

A figure slowly emerged in mid-air, transforming into the appearance of an elderly woman.

It was none other than Chen Yan’s family’s old lady, the Ghost Race Elder Ancestor Saint.

The old lady slowly landed on the ground, standing before the Saint.

The Saint took one glance at the old lady: "We fought a few days ago in the Southern Border and you’ve recovered."

The old lady pursed her lips: "You’ve healed quite fast too."

"You plotted against my worldly tribulation crossing, do you not see the fault in your attack?"

The old lady sighed softly: "Only if I could be victorious."

Without waiting for the Saint to speak again, the old lady bitterly smiled: "I didn’t expect you to take this step so urgently. If I were to accompany you to see him, I would surely stop you before him.

You... this step is too radical."

"He said he couldn’t hold on much longer.", the Saint softly said: "Moreover, our numbers are dwindling."

Then, raising her head to look at the old lady, she coldly smiled: "You schemed every which way, laid foundation after foundation, planned and plotted, and now if we don’t take a risk, by the time all our people are gone, your plan hasn’t ended!"

"Because we may only have one chance, I dare not take a risk." The old lady shook her head.

Pausing briefly, she smiled lightly: "Scheming against you during your worldly tribulation crossing, I’m sorry. Once things are settled... if we lose, we all die together.

If miraculously we win, I’ll compensate with my life, how about that?"

The Saint was silent for a few seconds, then coldly smiled: "What would I want your life for."

The old lady coldly said: "Remember my words... he cannot be endangered! You can take risks, you can act hastily, use aggressive tactics. But, you cannot risk him!"

The Saint snorted: "What, have you grown attached?"

The old lady, hearing this, was not angered, but instead smiled faintly: "Haven’t you developed emotions?"

The Saint’s face stiffened.

At this moment, thunder rumbled over their heads, clouds seemed to press lower and lower.

"We can’t talk anymore, if we continue, it will detect." The old lady sighed: "Even one Saint is already watched, with two Saints gathered, it will definitely inspect."

The Saint bowed her head in thought, then gently smiled: "Then let’s have a fight."

The old lady’s mouth twitched: "Fight again?"

"If it detects nothing, it will be suspicious.

Conversely, if it sees two Saints fighting, it will just think it’s a fight."

The old lady sighed, eyes showing some helplessness, but also nodded: "Alright, alright, fight! Since you’ve returned, haven’t done much important work, yet fought with us old folks twice."

The Saint snorted: "Today you fight me, a few days later, I’ll help you beat that Southern Border Demon Race Saint, how about that?"

The old lady’s eyes lit up, laughed heartily: "Deal! Come, fight!"

In due time, the Immortal Platform received news of the end of Saint Luoyan’s teachings, the Southern Ghost Race Elder Ancestor Saint unexpectedly arrived, fighting techniques ensued!

Three days of thunder without stopping, the island used for hosting teachings was flattened, the sea reclaimed a hundred miles!

Following this, the Ghost Race Elder Ancestor Saint retreated to the Southern Border, Saint Luoyan furiously chased down!

The two Saints entered the Southern Border, mistakenly entering the Demon Race’s mountains, enrage the Demon Race Elder Ancestor Celestial Foot Saint, making him emerge from seclusion.

Three Saints contended once more, forty-nine mountains of the Demon Race were leveled, Celestial Foot Saint injured and did not emerge...

Regarding such matters of Saints fighting, upon receiving the report, the Immortal Platform merely had the responsible sacrificial priest record it in the archives, saying no more.

Saints fighting, what could the Immortal Platform possibly do about it?
