Chapter 47: Not Doing One’s Proper Job
“Master, White City has truly twisted.” At night, Chisato stood in front of He Youzhou and said in a deep voice.
After witnessing it with her own eyes, she could confirm that the tree of corpses was the malice of the Heavenly Dao.
She told He Youzhou everything that happened in the mansion, waiting for his response.
“It seems quite serious.” He Youzhou murmured.
The malice of the Heavenly Dao manifested in various strange ways, and the birth of a tree of corpses would not surprise him at all.
Tianyan Sect dealt with the malice of the Heavenly Dao relatively easily because they had never done anything to provoke it.
In other words, their chances of triggering the Heavenly Dao’s countermeasures were much lower.
However, just because Tianyan Sect dealt with it easily did not mean other sects would find it easy as well.
“Well, I don’t know if it will further deteriorate this time.” Chisato lowered her eyelids.
She was very worried that this kind of malice would continue to spread, as it could easily harm non-cultivators.
For non-cultivators, every disaster brought by the malice of the Heavenly Dao was an unwarranted disaster.
“But that person is still alive, it seems this matter is not simple.” He Youzhou crossed his arms, tilted his head, and looked troubled.
Hmm, generally speaking, Wan Ruicai should have been dead long ago, but now he was still alive and kicking, which was very strange.
Moreover, after Teng Snake ate that guy, it had an adverse reaction. Wan Ruicai was like an expired ingredient.
Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be anything that a shikigami wouldn’t want to eat. How bad must Wan Ruicai taste to cause Teng Snake to be corroded all over?
“Master, can I go with Senior Sister to find that scum?” Yulan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke.
She was not alone in the room tonight. He Youzhou had specifically asked her to come and listen to what the malice of the Heavenly Dao was all about.
“You?” He Youzhou touched his chin and began to ponder.
Yulan’s current strength is a bit lacking. If she is used as a breakthrough point, it might hinder Zhishi’s progress.
“Umm…” He Youzhou began to feel troubled.
“If I find that I can’t help Senior Sister, I will run away immediately,” Yulan said. “I won’t act recklessly.”
“If you say so, then follow along,” He Youzhou said helplessly, folding his hands into his sleeves.
His second disciple really harbors deep hatred towards Wan Ruicai.
But thinking about it, it’s quite normal. Being locked up, soaked in a blood pool, pierced through the body with a spear, and slandered as a demon girl—it’s hard for Yulan not to hate Wan Ruicai.
“Disciple thanks Master,” Yulan said sincerely, half-kneeling in front of her master.
“After all, you have also fought for the honor of Tianyan Sect,” He Youzhou said.
Although Yulan did not make it to the top four this time, even if she fell in the top eight, she could still receive a good reward.
It must be said that the rewards for this new talent competition, jointly organized by various sects, are indeed generous.
Even if Yulan only made it to the top eight, she could still receive thousands of spirit stones.
Unfortunately, the various sects that organized this competition originally wanted to see their own rising stars shine in the competition. However, the identities of the top four cultivators are somewhat awkward.
Not to mention He Youzhou, one of the top four is from the Demon Sect.
There are only two cultivators who truly belong to the righteous sects.
The various sects most hoped to see their righteous disciples slaughtering the Demon Sect members in this competition.
But now it seems that not only did they fail to slaughter, but two of them made it to the top four.
If the champion turns out to be a Demon Sect disciple, where would the face of the righteous sects go?
Of course, this is something for those sects to worry about, and it has nothing to do with He Youzhou.
He is just a Foundation Establishment cultivator waiting to win the championship prize, without any emotions.
“Yulan, don’t die,” He Youzhou suddenly said to Yulan. “These matters are not child’s play.”
Yulan looked up, surprised that He Youzhou would say such things to her. “Disciple… will be extremely careful.”
“I don’t want my disciple to die under the malice of the Heavenly Dao within a month of entering the sect,” He Youzhou said, curling his lips.
“Master is going back to his room,” he said, getting up and walking out with his hands in his sleeves.
Halfway through, he turned to look at his two disciples. “You should also rest well.”
Seeing He Youzhou leave their room, Yulan said to Zhishi, “Master is really good.”
Yulan didn’t know what the masters of other sects were like, but her master, apart from being a bit strange, really had no flaws.
Zhishi heard her junior sister’s words and glanced at her lightly. “Of course.”
To Zhishi, there is no one in this world better than Master.
If there were immortals in this world, they could only be her Master♡
Unfortunately, there are many urgent matters these days. Even if she wants to be pampered by Master, she can only endure it for now.
She decided that when she returned to Tianyan Sect, she would spar with her master for three days and three nights.
“Junior sister, you must remember what Master said,” Zhishi said seriously.
“What Master said…” Yulan’s memory wasn’t so poor that she would forget Master’s instructions as soon as she turned around.
Don’t die? Yulan still didn’t have a clear understanding of the malice of the Heavenly Dao.
No matter how much she had heard about the Heavenly Dao from Tianyan Sect, she still couldn’t deeply understand its terrifying nature.
“If you’re not careful, you could really die,” Zhishi said, “No matter how high your cultivation is.”
“Except for Master, no one can underestimate the malice of the Heavenly Dao,” she said solemnly.
“Except for Master? Master can underestimate the malice of the Heavenly Dao?” Yulan looked at her senior sister in surprise.
The atmosphere had been very serious, but in the end, she felt that something was off.
“Of course,” Zhishi said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Her master was so diligent, so considerate, so powerful.
At this moment, Zhishi’s almost perfect master was secretly lighting a candle.
Then he took out a novel from his bag.
He Youzhou blew on the cover of the book, as if worried about dust on it.
“Let me see, what page did I reach yesterday?” He licked his lips and looked for the bookmark he had placed.
The rookie competition was indeed very important, and the malice of the Heavenly Dao was indeed very dangerous.
But reading novels was something that couldn’t be delayed, after all, it was an ancient secret manual.
Hmm, he called this comprehending the ancient secret manual, not neglecting his duties.
