Chapter 785 - 2: Two Versions, Nine-Character Mantra

Chapter 785: Chapter 2: Two Versions, Nine-Character Mantra

Li Xin’s soul had already reached the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc; this time it was a bit troublesome. The Great Angel Level’s power was completely unbeatable for him at the moment; the damage to his body surface was nothing, it was just that the opponent’s overwhelming spiritual ability had almost completely destroyed his life force.

Although the soul entered the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc at the critical moment to evade, it would eventually have to return. However, it was not without opportunity. He had the power of the Bloodthirsty Monarch within his body, so he could use the dice to trigger the ability of the Bloodthirsty Monarch. Although it couldn’t be as monstrous as the Blood Demon, as long as there was blood to absorb, he could at least save his life. But given his bodily condition, he feared that even moving would be difficult, let alone blood-drinking. The only hope now was that the talisman given by Old Fang could save him, capable of taking him to a safe place.

Thank you, Old Fang. If there is a chance to reunite, I will definitely pay back the wish.

Uncertain of the situation outside, Li Xin didn’t know if it was his last time entering the Round Table Conference. He remembered Miss Aries’ words, quickly stood up, and walked towards the position of Aries, locking his gaze on the book page in the statue’s hand along the way.

Sure enough, as he moved, the text on the page began to squirm like tadpoles, transforming into "The Bold Marshals Arrayed at the Front." Li Xin didn’t linger but immediately returned to his seat.

Damn it, it’s in simplified characters!

Li Xin looked towards other positions, suddenly moving quickly to the position of Taurus. He wanted to see the corresponding text of other zodiac signs. Although he couldn’t understand the text on his seat, he generally knew its shape; there might be some secret involved.

When he arrived at the position of Taurus, Li Xin’s pupils dilated, and he quickly returned to his seat.

It’s still the Nine-character True Words!

But some were "The Bold Marshals Arrayed at the Front," while others were "The Bold Marshals Proceed to the Front." One version belonged to the Buddhist family, and the other to the Daoist school. This wasn’t simply a difference of two words; the corresponding Dharma Seals were greatly different. This he knew beforehand, but in his mind, he only associated it with the Buddhist’s Hand Seal and Dharma Aspect.

Leo, Cancer, and Virgo were all in simplified characters, while nothing could be seen behind the still-unarrived seats.

Earlier, when he came to the Round Table Conference, he had seen the book pages from other people’s perspectives, which he couldn’t understand. But now, he could see them.

Did it trigger some opportunity?

Was it because of himself or someone else?

It was probably related to him or its creator. But why hide it?

Li Xin made a "Lin" character hand seal, enduring the twitching of his soul, quietly waiting for the reaction of the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc. But the star disc showed no change. In the current situation, he couldn’t perform the complete Nine-character True Words and had to temporarily put aside this thought.

He originally thought about trying to see if there was a variable or a miracle, but it seemed he could only face it. When coming alone, the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc wouldn’t allow him to stay for long, and his soul had to return...

***

Li Xin’s disappearance caused a great commotion in Dragon Capital. The top-level changes in Dragon Capital in the past month were nothing short of earth-shaking. On the surface, Chen Rutang and the Celestial Principle School were rising, but those who truly understood knew that the core behind this was a young talent named Li Xin.

The captain of Night Patrol, the Young Master of Secret Castle, a prominent guest of the Celestial Principle School, and having an unclear relationship with the Hundred Martial Hall. At the critical moment, the Inner Hall of the Hundred Martial Hall stood by Chen Rutang’s side and tidied up the Outer Hall. Li Xin was Chen Rutang’s student, specially recruited into the Silent Canon Law School single-handedly by Chen Rutang. It’s well known in Dragon Capital’s noble circles that even a fool understands this Night Patrol captain is destined to be a very powerful figure. Yet, such a person went missing.

After several days of city-wide search, there was still no trace, and the Life Master also performed divination, but nothing was discovered.

The Celestial Principle School appeared quite calm. When Philson arrived, he found only some manipulated people. The real perpetrator was already gone. Even angels couldn’t threaten Li Xin, so it must have been a Great Angel Level move, and not an ordinary great angel at that.

The sound of knocking was heard. Lin Xueyin came in, "Master, the weather outside is nice. Don’t stay indoors all the time; go out more. We’re famous now."

Justin followed in, crouching honestly beside Lin Xueyin, in a proper posture.

Mordo’s lecture made the Celestial Principle School rise to prominence in Dragon Capital, sacrificing himself to save countless residents of Dragon Capital. Without comparison, there is no harm. The Moon God’s Court’s performance this time left a huge stain, allowing the Celestial Principle School to truly gain a foothold in Dragon Capital and garner numerous followers.

Philson smiled slightly, looking at Lin Xueyin, who still had dust on her face, knowing that this girl must have taken action again, "Our foundation in Dragon Capital is still shallow, so we must be cautious in our actions."

"Understood, Master, I rarely take action," Lin Xueyin said with a smile.

Looking at Xueyin with a smile on her face, Philson shook his head, "Mr. Li should be fine, at least not in mortal danger."

He couldn’t sense anything, but one thing was certain: if Li Xin were dead, the foundation of the Celestial Principle School would inevitably collapse. He would be the first to sense it.

"I know," Xueyin said, "Ah Xin will be fine."

People who didn’t know Xueyin might think she was some kind of young lady, but little did they know that her experiences since childhood were not something ordinary people could endure. What she had to do now was not to wallow in self-pity or wear a sad face, but to do her own things well and enhance her own power.

"How’s Night Patrol on their side?"

"This position has become a much-coveted post, with many wanting to step in. However, the Grand Governor suppressed it, the internal Night Patrol is united, so there’s not much trouble, and with Sister Kathy on the Church Court’s side, so it will most likely be temporarily taken over by Dragon Ridge," Xueyin said.

Philson nodded. Night Patrol and the Celestial Principle School, as well as the Hundred Martial Hall, have formed a very good rapport. If the stance of the Night Patrol captain were to change, it would still have a massive impact. The Potter family probably wouldn’t give up easily, but no matter how you look at it, the current Night Patrol was no longer the pushover it used to be. With sufficient funds and having supplemented numerous elite students from the Canon Law School, plus the support of the Celestial Principle School scholars, Night Patrol has become a powerful force, which makes other powers choose to woo and placate it.

The Celestial Principle School can also utilize the Night Patrol to send their scholars to various cities in the Li Long United Kingdom. This means the Celestial Principle School can genuinely expand outward and disseminate Celestial Principles.

"Master, I want to return to the Celestial Capital," Xueyin said.

Philson was planning to dispatch scholars to major cities to break ground, utilizing the current attention across the Li Long as a very good opportunity. Doing anything now would yield twice the results with half the effort. Missing this chance would make future expansion much more challenging.

Philson looked at Xueyin, shook his head, "Now is when the Celestial Principle School’s Wish Power is most vigorous; leaving Dragon Capital is not beneficial for your cultivation; you can go later."

"Master, I don’t plan to stay long; a short trip and I’ll be back," Xueyin said.

Philson nodded, "A month later then, by that time, the Wish Power will have stabilized."

"Yes, Master."

Xueyin had fully assimilated Mordo’s Divine Relic, and having Hidden Power versus not having it are two completely different insights. She had some unclear matters she wanted to return to the Celestial Capital to look into, but delaying by a month was fine; it wasn’t that urgent.
