Chapter 1280: Chapter 764: The Aftermath of Shu Yu’s Death_2
“Whew.”
Shen Yi briefly recorded the recent situation and handed it to the Shenxu Ancestor to take back to the Divine Dynasty.
“As for this incense, he probably can’t consu it for long.”
He recalled how True Master Hao Ming had only left a aningless threat after the Great Demon was damaged, and then there had been no more movent, probably similar in temperant to True Master Yun Miao.
Qingguang Cave would soon discover the anomalies in Kaiyuan Prefecture, and though they might not be able to produce evidence for now, normal disputes were always unavoidable.
“As for how long we can keep it, it depends on our abilities.”
Shen Yi closed his eyes and looked inward. With so many refugees flooding into Heavenly Tower Mountain, he witnessed the completely different scenes compared to the Prefecture City. The rich Emperor’s Aura caused the Shenxu Dao Fruit, which was close to fruition, to take another step forward.
Six-Six Transformation, the original Shen Feng turned into gray mist, and now the gray mist had condensed into a dense black cloud, completely covering the golden radiance on the Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect.
“We understand.”
The Southern Emperor quietly stood nearby, his eyes showing a trace of ferocity.
The master stirred turbulence in the North Continent personally; now, the changes ca in line with the trend. If they could seize the opportunity, they would establish a foothold in the North Continent; if not, only death awaited.
While the master and servant chatted casually, in another part of Kaiyuan Prefecture.
“There are more and more people, Senior Brother!”
Hua Ming excitedly grabbed his senior brother’s sleeve, initially feeling extrely unlucky, but never expecting such a drastic change overnight.
The incense that originally belonged to Master Shu Yu inexplicably began to flow toward them. Just a glance outside the hall at the Sky Curtain revealed that the faint yellow mist was thickening at a visible pace.
“…”
True Master Hao Ming sat upright, struggling to suppress the joy on his lips.
He never dreamt that he would one day occupy almost all the incense in Kaiyuan Prefecture; such wealth was unimaginable for a cultivator of Six-Six Transformation.
The only reason he was still sitting there steadfastly was due to a vague unease in his heart.
Finally, a disciple rushed in hurriedly, speaking quickly, “Report to Master, we investigated. The refugees moved here because Qingguang Cave stopped the relief efforts.”
“Stopped the relief?” True Master Hao Ming looked puzzled.
“Yes, those responsible for the relief efforts are all missing, presumably returned to Qingguang Cave. We didn’t hear any instructions from Master Shu Yu.”
Even the disciple found it incredible that soone would voluntarily give up a Taoist site in the at-and-potatoes North Continent.
“Master, what should we do now?”
Upon hearing this, True Master Hao Ming clenched his fists, took several deep breaths, and then, as if to comfort himself, said, “It’s not like I’m going to seize… Listen carefully, don’t be overly deliberate, treat everyone fairly.”
Whatever happened to Master Shu Yu had nothing to do with him.
Now was the ti to build houses, distribute food, and place statues of True Monarch Hao Ming to embed this divine na deeply into the refugees’ minds.
It was a pity that the White Ape died, and he needed to borrow another from a fellow disciple, making the most of this opportunity to secure this eternal incense.
Thinking about this, True Master Hao Ming felt so anger.
If it weren’t for those Southern Continent cultivators, it wouldn’t be so troubleso, and yet they took part of this imnse wealth.
Even if he assimilated these incense, he couldn’t be considered the sect’s Heavenly Pride occupying the entire Kaiyuan Prefecture; there was still a small piece of Heavenly Tower Mountain, like a thorn in the side, frustrating him.
No matter, there would always be opportunities later.
True Master Hao Ming waved his sleeve, letting the disciples leave the hall and quickly handle the matters.
Just as the disciple stepped out, a tall figure walked in slowly.
“Why are you still dawdling here, go placate the refugees imdiately!” Hua Ming turned his head and scolded angrily, but as soon as he spoke, his senior brother pressed him down.
He then saw who had co.
Hua Ming stared directly at the treasure crown on the other person’s head, his gaze lowering until he took in the sight of a fair and delicate, yet emotionless face.
His heart began pounding violently, as loud as a drum in his ears.
It wasn’t beauty that moved him, but this usually bold junior, who would even argue with his senior brother, was now full of fear, bowing his head like a ek little beast.
“You… Sister You Yao.”
True Master Hao Ming stood up with a forced smile, his sweaty palms soaked with anxiety.
He was extrely annoyed.
Obviously, one more transformation and he still had no sense of his senior sister’s arrival, deepening his dread of her strength, which was likely even greater than rumored.
He hoped she hadn’t overheard his words…
Seeing You Yao confird his suspicion that sothing had happened to Master Shu Yu, not that he abandoned the Kaiyuan Prefecture site.
However, Hao Ming was quick to suppress his guilt. “I wonder what orders Senior Sister has?”
True Master You Yao glanced at the two, then turned slowly without intending to chat, looking outside the hall. “Who told you to do this?”
“Do… Do what?” Hao Ming’s freshly bolstered courage lted away at the question, and he lowered his head unconsciously.
“These houses and water provisions.”
You Yao was originally ordered by her master to offer so assistance to fellow disciples. Recalling that Shu Yu hadn’t returned, she decided to check on the situation.
Upon arrival at Kaiyuan Prefecture, she was t with a confusing scene.
A massive number of refugees were scattered, and not a single Qingguang Cave disciple could be found to ask questions.
What puzzled her further was that in the entire North Continent, the Taoist sites under Hao Ming and Heavenly Tower Mountain were unique in appearance.
“So that’s what Senior Sister ant.”
Hao Ming sighed in relief, aggrieved, and said, “It wasn’t voluntary, the Taixu Pill Emperor from the Southern Continent did all this without notice. If I didn’t follow suit, the Daoist citizens’ hearts would sway to his side.”
Using these underhanded thods to compete for incense, it was a first for him; truly, he had no choice…
“…”
You Yao listened quietly, nodding gently.
She turned back, suddenly asking, “Have you seen my junior brother?”
Hao Ming had his suspicions. This sudden question caught him off guard, making him stamr, “I haven’t seen him. Master Shu Yu’s affairs have nothing to do with .”
Even Hua Ming, who had kept his head down and said nothing, nervously broke into a sweat.
She didn’t specify which junior brother, and Hao Ming had confessed without being pressured.
If soone was in trouble, the pri suspect was the one who benefited the most. Senior Brother had taken in so many refugees; now he was in a sticky situation…
“Hah.”
Sure enough, True Master You Yao retrieved her gaze, unable to suppress a sneer.
Another might take Hao Ming’s fearful appearance and imdiately detain and interrogate him.
But she shook her head.
His guilt was evident, but it stemd from taking advantage of Shu Yu’s misfortune to seize so incense, not from harming Qingguang Cave disciples.
“Understood.”
True Master You Yao responded ambiguously and left the hall.
After she left, True Master Hao Ming was still in shock. Seeing her in person proved how imposing her presence was.
“Senior Brother, are we okay now?” Hua Ming timidly asked.
“Okay? I hope so too!”
True Master Hao Ming swallowed, growled, and suddenly chased out quickly.
He hovered in the sky, looking eastward.
As expected, the figure in black skirt was already heading to Heavenly Tower Mountain, straight towards the ditating young man.
“Except for us, he also benefited.”
Hua Ming followed, his face revealing joy. He turned to et his senior brother’s gaze, both seeing the plan in each other’s eyes.
The Southern Continent cultivator was different. He was from the Three Immortals Sect.
Sister You Yao wouldn’t show him any courtesy.
Given his underhanded thods with the refugees, today would be his downfall!
