Chapter 2136: Chapter 18: Return to Xuanling, Sealing Land

A Heavenly God Official from the Demon Race, with a serpent’s head and a goat’s body covered in scales, enveloped in purple flames, appeared.

They arrived just in time to witness Zhao Xing incinerate Ayiso.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

Originally, there were already many Divine Guards and Earth God Officials at the Three Bends River Bay. Upon sensing the commotion, they all rushed over.

"Everyone, Ayiso is a traitor..." Zhao Xing was ready with his explanation and began shouting to those around to avoid misunderstandings.

...

"Hmm? Is that Heaven Patrol Divine Guard Zen Master Chen An? Did he actually kill Ayiso?"

"Ayiso turned out to be a sleeper agent sent by a Free God, and he had a grudge against Zen Master Chen An?"

"Although Ayiso is a Medical Venerable, he is of the Thirteenth Rank, while Zen Master Chen An is only of the Ninth Rank. How did he do it?"

"It must be the Marquis Transformation Method! But I’ve never seen such a Marquis Transformation Method that can enable a Ninth Rank Demigod to fight several ranks above!"

"Interesting, I wonder how he’ll be dealt with."

"Ayiso was brought in by Heavenly God Official ’Qi Zi,’ this should be entertaining."

...

Divine Thoughts clashed in the air, and the Earth God Officials and Heavenly God Officials from different affiliations remained silent, all eyes on the Demon Race Heavenly God Official.

Ayiso, this Earth God Official, was under the command of Heavenly God Official ’Qi Zi,’ who in turn is a subordinate of Great Divine Official ’Zhi Guan.’

"Zhao Chen’an, whether Ayiso is a traitor cannot be determined by your one-sided story." Qi Zi’s vertical eye coldly locked on Zhao Xing, "As for you, a Ninth Rank, being able to kill the Thirteenth Rank Ayiso is highly suspicious! Surrender yourself and come with me to meet the Great Divine Official!"

With that, he spat out a streak of purple mist, wrapping around Zhao Xing to take him away for questioning.

Zhao Xing remained expressionless, without making any move.

Just then—

"Hold on."

A stream of blue smoke suddenly rose from the ground, forming a human figure, as the soil bulged and condensed layer by layer, forming a mountain that blocked Qi Zi’s Capture Technique.

"Boom!"

The mountain remained, but the purple mist was absorbed into it.

Venerable Lan Chuan had intervened as predicted by the Eight Directions Divine Realm.

"Qi Zi Divine Officer, if there’s to be an arrest and questioning, it should be handled by me."

The voice of Venerable Lan Chuan was calm yet powerful.

"Lan Chuan, you are merely an Earth God Official, yet you dare to obstruct me?" Qi Zi’s anger grew. "Step aside!"

Venerable Lan Chuan remained unmoved, drawing a circle beneath his feet, which suddenly turned into a vacuum, shimmering with golden light. Another figure emerged from within.

What advanced Earth Communication Skill! Zhao Xing then realized that the technique Venerable Lan Chuan was using closely resembled the Ancient Hill Technique he had learned.

Indeed, Venerable Lan Chuan was later the teacher of Mei Mountain Venerable, Lan Divine?

Yes, he even mentioned the third layer of Earth Refining Technique, which only he and another person knew. Could it be that Mei Mountain Venerable already existed at this time?

"Buzz~" The voice reached before the figure appeared.

A vine extended from the circle on the ground, lashing Qi Zi down.

"What are you, to speak to Lan Chuan in this manner."

The newcomer was Guluo River.

The lashed Qi Zi rolled several kilometers before coming to a stop, but he quickly realized something and immediately bowed his head, "Greetings, Great Divine Official."

He felt it was all a conspiracy.

Ayiso had been checked, and there were no issues. How did he become problematic once the Great Divine Official Luo River showed up? Was he showcasing authority over his faction?

But even if that were the case, he had to yield; a Great Divine Official was a Great Divine Official, even if Guluo River was merely a Venerable, it wasn’t a power he could afford to offend.

"Disperse, are you all that idle?" Guluo River scanned the surroundings, and from a shadow, another green figure, as swift as a fleeting shadow, appeared. Everyone quickly distanced themselves from Guluo River, muttering to themselves.

"What’s going on, why is the Great Divine Official here?"

"What just happened?"

"Unclear... but with the Great Divine Official’s arrival, there might be changes at the Nine Yin River."

"Hurry back."

...

Zhao Xing looked at the back of Guluo River, and his heart only had two words: imposing.

To whip away a Fourteenth Rank Heavenly God Official and then wipe everyone’s memory, that’s truly imposing.

And in Zhao Xing’s panel detection, this wasn’t even the true form of Guluo River, merely a... Taichu Grassman!

"Even Guluo River at this time had learned the Taichu Grassman Skill? But that can’t be right, how does his Taichu Grassman Skill manage to manifest an Inner World, or is there a plant species inside the Grassman?"

Zhao Xing couldn’t make sense of it, but it felt peculiar.

Logically, on the Grassman Dao, he only saw Jin Yan and Zuo Qiyu, not Guluo River.

During the Desolate Domain Era, he had never seen Guluo River with a Taichu Avatar, it was always either a mana incarnation or the true self.

"The Five Poisons said only with Guluo River present could the murderous intent of two Taichu Grassman cultivators be suppressed, what’s the connection here?"

Sensing Zhao Xing’s gaze, Guluo River turned to look.

This was the third time he looked at Zhao Xing.

"What’s your name?"

"Greetings, Great Divine Official, I am called Zhao Xing." 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

"Zhao Xing?" Guluo River murmured the name, nodding slightly, "You’re quite good, there might be a chance for you to come cultivate in my Inner World in the future."

......

The stronghold of Dan Ye Zizai God.

"Master, Ayiso is dead."

The Medicine Turtle reported sorrowfully, although his master was Dan Ye, it was usually Ayiso who cared for him and kept him company.

"Who killed him?" Dan Ye Zizai God frowned.

"It was that Human Clan member named Zhao Xing."

"How is that possible, he’s merely of the Ninth Rank, how could he have killed Ayiso?" Dan Ye Zizai God waved his hand to disperse a cloud of mist, revealing a Soul Well within it. "Even the Soul Well has cracked, it surely wasn’t him."
