"What is this...."
Wei Gongzhan and Jiang Xiaoling both curiously looked at what was called the last trump card, which turned out to be a rather ordinary mirror, completely inconspicuous, the kind that could easily be overlooked at a street stall.
"Demon mirror... also known as the Spiritual Mirror!" Ali took the mirror handed over by Zhou Pangzi, playing with it with a smile: "It can identify people’s destinies in the world, and no demon can hide in front of it, of course... the premise is that the level difference can’t be too significant."
"The master still has such a thing?" Wei Gongzhan was startled.
With a smirk, Ali thought to himself: Silly child, what do you think? Why else would you people be treated favorably without any apparent reason? Isn’t it because certain individuals foresaw your value in advance?
Be it Xuu Hu or Wei Gongcheng, including you, you are all geniuses who were discovered in advance; otherwise, how could Jiangnan develop so smoothly?
However, many things are judged by actions not intentions; Chen Qing is genuinely good to his subordinates, even willing to take personal risks to save soone, and even if he has ulterior motives, at least in fact Chen Qing treats everyone fairly.
"It’s true, it’s true...." Zhou Haitao wiped the cold sweat off his face and hurriedly said: "When the boss gave that mirror before, I even secretly used it to observe others, like those gentlen from the Shen Family, the mirror showed that all of them have ninth-grade talent, sothing... of King Level potential!"
"But just the other day, I was delivering this month’s docunts, and since we in Jiangnan started accepting refugees, public safety has plumted. Most of those who managed to flee here are not easy people; there are frequent robberies, rape of won, and even cases of murder. The local good citizens are, of course, outraged, especially those won who were killed. They were kindheartedly coming to offer als, only to end up with such a tragic fate, and most of these won belong to military households. Once the news gets out, what will the soldiers on the front lines think?"
"Then what happened?" Wei Gongzhan frowned. Lord Zhou was still the sa as before, liking to start from the source when he talks about anything, sowhat long-winded, but this refugee matter indeed stirred up indignation and made him want to keep listening.
"Then that woman naturally turned into an Evil Spirit after suffering such humiliation, and went back for revenge that night. You also know our people in Lyuzhou; even if they do not cultivate, because of the abundance of Spiritual Energy their spiritual power is stronger than outsiders, and after death, as Evil Spirits, they still have significant lethality. That night, chaos erupted and over a hundred people were killed in the refugee area within two days!"
"Among them, there are those who deserved their fate, but also the innocent. You know, the emotions of Evil Spirits are uncontrollable; when they are frenzied, they don’t care if you are innocent or not...."
"Aren’t there Night Traveling Gods to catch Evil Spirits?" Jiang Xiaoling, who was next to him, also beca curious. He had heard about this incident, but his parents, afraid to frighten him, always avoided him when gossiping with the neighbors.
"This is the critical point...." Zhou Pangzi sighed: "Normally, the Night Traveling Gods and so Civil Judges would be able to handle such matters, there’s no need for Official Wei to take action. But the Night Traveling Gods sympathize with the locals; seeing that the woman died wrongfully and wanted revenge, they turned a blind eye and didn’t pursue her imdiately, which led to this incident. In principle, this Night Traveling God should be punished, with serious ones losing their divine status and entering Reincarnation directly."
"But the family of that Night Traveling God was unwilling, they ca directly to make trouble, and the locals also ca to support them, so I couldn’t decide at that mont and had to seek Official Wei’s opinion."
"Then what happened...." Ali was sowhat exasperated; how did the topic deviate to this?
"Then sothing eerie happened...." Zhou Haitao spoke in a low voice: "The Spiritual Mirror suddenly indicated that Official Wei’s destiny was declining, and there were two people’s presences in his body, one being Official Wei himself, and the other so sort of demon. The demon’s destiny is unknown, but it is judged that there’s a great possibility it would devour Official Wei’s destiny."
"I was shocked at the ti, but Official Wei himself seed no different from usual; the more it was like this, the more hairy my heart beca, and it wasn’t just Official Wei. At that ti, in the Provincial Governnt Office, Shen San and Shen Shiyi, all showed the sa result; a room full of high officials, all possessed by monsters, oh my, my heart almost jumped out at that mont."
Wei Gongzhan’s expression turned solemn; his own brother, as cautious as he was, was also being controlled....
"Lord Ali, now that we know the situation, what should we do?"
"Let’s first ask about the origin of this thing in the mirror...." Ali yawned, looking at the Spiritual Mirror: "At this point, stop hiding and hoarding; you should know that if Chen Qing’s power encounters trouble, you’re almost done for...."
The Spiritual Mirror trembled slightly, and an eye erged on its surface, gazing at Ali....
The look in its eyes could be described as incredibly complex. As an artifact of the spiritual realm, the stronger the destiny of its master, the faster it grows. Even without being incorporated into the Divine Path Sect, it has grown rapidly by relying on Chen Qing, reaching the transcendent realm in just five short years!
Naturally, its heart was with Chen Qing.
But... it was very wary of the individual before it.
When Chen Qing had left it with that surnad Zhou, the fatso, it was actually to guard against this very fox.
In the whole world, apart from Chen Qing, who bizarrely was immune to Ali’s mory alteration abilities, only itself could see through this fox. Now that the wretched thing had broken through to the transcendent realm, it even had the chance to plot for King Level. If sothing were to happen to Chen Qing, rendering him unable to return, it would be this fox’s only weakness.
To be honest, its current greatest fear was that the fox would get hold of it and shatter it to pieces instantly...
"This demon has no known origins; it must be a creation from later tis, but its characteristics are very similar to a certain entity we have encountered before."
"The Ancient Worm, right?"
"You know?"
"Shen San had this suspicion, but it wasn’t confird. Now it’s certain..." Ali stood up and looked in the direction of the Provincial Governnt Office: "So, it seems it’s that person, isn’t it?"
"Who?" Wei Gongzhan asked with curiosity, intrigued by Ali’s tone: "Does the senior recognize them?"
"More than recognize..." Ali said with a cold smile.
Shen Ling!
The master of the Nine Heavens Mirror and soone she had never believed could achieve this. She carried genetic mories; mories of the conflicts from the First Era had long ceased to exist, and she didn’t know what kind of existence this person had beco. But she was very clear about Shen Ling’s character.
Back in the company, they couldn’t stand each other. Shen Ling had the appearance of a well-behaved girl, whereas herself, for being pretty and good at dressing up, was the most popular female in the company. Many n had taken a liking to her to varying degrees, of course... except that hermit, Pu YunChuan.
Shen Ling, being another type of beauty in the company, didn’t get along well with her at all. Others thought she was a gentle girl, quiet and reserved, but she had sensed a whiff of tea fragrance from Shen Ling long ago.
This wasn’t her prejudice. In less than four years at the company, she didn’t have a single boyfriend, whereas Shen Ling had been involved with four, always breaking up for so inexplicable reasons, which included her husband in this era, Cui Yan.
Just the thought of her husband once being toyed with by that woman made her feel nauseous as if she had swallowed a fly.
So when Chen Qing said Shen Ling sacrificed herself for the Human Race of this world by establishing the Nine Heavens Mirror, she didn’t believe a single punctuation mark in her heart.
And now it seems it was just as she expected.
This is indeed peculiar...
Today, it was finally her turn to clean up!
