A few people found themselves in a standoff at the scene.
Lin Jing looked into the distance and tore slightly at the contract with the chanical Turtle. A little more force, and the contract would be dissolved.
This was the thod Lin Jing could think of, capable of quickly making the other party sense him, no matter where the chanical Turtle was.
Indeed.
As Lin Jing tore a rift in the contract, in a certain domain of the Ancient Country, the chanical Turtle, which was peeping at a young girl, imdiately felt a sharp pain in its soul.
"Understood." The chanical Turtle reluctantly followed the direction of the contract’s wave. As the distance to Lin Jing got closer and closer, it soon heard the ssage from the contract.
Co quickly!
anwhile, as Lin Jing suddenly fell silent, both Liu Gongzhuo and Gai You started to sweat. Although their cultivation was far higher than Lin Jing’s, they still felt wary of the various ferocious feats of this Demon Court Saint Child.
The Celestial Demon Body... As the Director of the Demon Extermination Bureau, they naturally understood the strength of the Celestial Demon Body and didn’t consider Lin Jing as a re Nascent Soul cultivator.
Swipe.
Director Gai imdiately secretly contacted Prince Gu, who was currently managing state affairs, briefly explaining the situation and waiting for a response.
The Demon Court Saint Child... mishandling this could result in a serious diplomatic incident.
At the sa ti, in the Celestial Domain, within the Celestial Secret Tower.
To fulfill an agreent with Lin Jing, Prince Gu was requesting the Master of the Celestial Secret Tower to help him find "Qingniu Daoist."
"How is it possible? The other party is supposedly no more than a Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivator, yet no trace of their existence can be found?!" Prince Gu found it hard to comprehend the words of the Celestial Secret Tower Master.
"It’s indeed the case. Although we only know the other party’s past activity location, na, and experiences—just these simple details—if the other party really was just a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, it would be fairly easy to find them and determine their life or death. Given the current situation, where not even a single trace can be detected, there’s only one possibility..."
"This Qingniu Daoist, ntioned by the Crown Prince, who once sold the Demon Court Saint Child to a Yin Corpse Sect outpost, is far from being just a Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivator. Perhaps his true cultivation level, or even his divination skills, far exceed imagination," the Celestial Secret Tower Master said.
"But this raises an even greater mystery. If Qingniu Daoist is so formidable and not just a Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivator with ties to the Yin Corpse Sect, why would he casually sell such a precious physique like the Longevity Body to a small Yin Corpse Sect outpost? Such actions would normally suggest he was an inexperienced Foundation Establishnt Loose Cultivator rather than a high-level figure."
It’s baffling.
Prince Gu initially thought the biggest challenge in dealing with Lin Jing’s transaction might be that Qingniu Daoist had died, and he would have to use forbidden arts to bring him back in a half-alive state to present him to the Demon Court Saint Child. However, he never anticipated that this Qingniu Daoist was far from ordinary.
At that mont, Prince Gu sensed contact from Director Gai of the Demon Extermination Bureau.
Confounded by the current issues, Prince Gu didn’t care about trivial matters and ignored the ssage, continuing to press the Celestial Secret Tower Master for details.
After all, the Demon Court Saint Child had declared that within a year, if there was no result, it would be considered a breach of contract, and he would challenge his top position on the Gold List.
"Could it be that the Demon Court Saint Child has already found this person and erased their traces with an Immortal Artifact just to toy with ?" Prince Gu considered this possibility.
"Is there no way?" Prince Gu asked, knowing that presently, he could only rely on the Celestial Secret Tower Master to find Qingniu Daoist.
"I’ll awaken the Star Universe Turtle again and head to the ancient domain where the incident occurred to continue the investigation," the Celestial Secret Tower Master sighed.
Prince Gu nodded.
That’s all we can do for now.
But just then.
"No need to investigate anymore, I’m that Qingniu Daoist." An old Taoist with a bull-nosed expression sohow appeared at the window of the Celestial Secret Tower.
Seeing this person, Prince Gu’s expression changed, and the Celestial Secret Tower Master also showed a look of disbelief.
"Master?!"
"The forr Master of the Celestial Secret Tower," Prince Gu said in astonishnt.
"You, you’re not...?!" The Celestial Secret Tower Master looked at "Qingniu Daoist" with disbelief.
He rembered his master had supposedly "entered ditation" and passed on.
"Not dead, not dead, just didn’t want to work for the second generation after the first departed, so I pretended to die and traveled the continent," Qingniu Daoist said, picking his nose, leaving Prince Gu dumbfounded.
"Don’t look at like that. Even though I was traveling the continent, I dug up quite a few talents for the Ancient Country," Qingniu Daoist said to Prince Gu.
"Master, are you saying that you were the one who sold the Demon Court Saint Child to a Yin Corpse Sect outpost?!" The Celestial Secret Tower Master couldn’t imagine it.
Qingniu Daoist wore a troubled expression and said, "When I first t that kid, he was still a mortal. I did a quick divination and found that his fate was incredibly strong, capable of reviving the Ancient Country. The condition was that he had to walk the Beast Taming Path without too much interference in his growth... I calculated that by throwing him into a small Yin Corpse Sect outpost where Beast Taming Sect cultivators were undercover, he could enter the Beast Taming Sect. So I directly sold him for a few Spirit Stones. Initially, it went smoothly..."
The current Celestial Secret Tower Master and Prince Gu were speechless: ???
Reviving the Ancient Country?
You sure it’s not revitalizing the Demon Court?
Is this the talent you discovered for the Ancient Country during your travels?
"Master, this Lin Jing is now the Demon Court Saint Child and has even found a thod to revive the demon clan. He’s completely detached from the Ancient Country. Forget about revitalizing it; it’s fortunate enough if the Ancient Country doesn’t weaken because of the rise of the demon clan." The Celestial Secret Tower Master fell silent.
Qingniu Daoist himself was troubled too. By the ti he paid attention again to Lin Jing, Lin Jing had already beco the Demon Court Saint Child!
How did it turn out different from what he had foreseen!
"I don’t know either. My ability to recognize talent was guided by His Majesty the Ancient Emperor himself. Moreover, my cultivation has reached the stage of seeking the Dao; even if my vision failed, it shouldn’t have gone so absurdly wrong..."
"Where exactly did things go wrong? Unfortunately, now when I want to calculate him, I can’t see his fate clearly at all..."
"How could this guy be so troubleso?" Finding Qingniu Daoist brought no joy to Prince Gu, as he couldn’t fathom such absurdity—Qingniu Daoist was indeed the forr Master of the Celestial Secret Tower.
How can he hand over "Qingniu Daoist" to Lin Jing after this?
What’s most frustrating is that the forr Celestial Secret Tower Master actually said Lin Jing’s fate was to revive the Ancient Country...
"What’s the matter?" At this mont, Director Gai persistently contacted him, calling him incessantly over a short period, prompting Prince Gu to respond with irritation.
"...What nonsense is this." When Director Gai reported that Demon Court Saint Child Lin Jing was colluding with Gao Family cultivator Gao Sheng to smuggle dragon veins, Prince Gu felt a headache coming on. The Ancient Country still owed a top-tier cultivation dragon vein to the Demon Court Saint Child. If Lin Jing wanted more dragon veins, he could openly negotiate with them and add a few more conditions. Why bother to rely on a Demon Extermination Bureau cultivator to smuggle them?
Such trivial issues, and he still bothers him incessantly?
"Your Highness, they’ve said that acquiring the dragon veins is to summon the first Ancient Emperor and bring about the revival of the Ancient Country. This Demon Court Saint Child speaks dangerously, even wanting to borrow the Demon Extermination Bureau’s dragon veins. I suggest..."
