Chapter 1615 - 1611: Sudden Change

Chapter 1615: Chapter 1611: Sudden Change

Chu Miaomiao slightly furrowed her eyebrows, staring intently at Chu Zhiyuan’s face, not missing a slight anomaly.

Chu Zhiyuan spoke frankly and shook his head, saying, "Such things are very common. Everyone thinks they are very powerful, but once they reach the Divine Domain, they realize that every Strange Beast surpasses them. If they are not careful, they won’t even know how they die."

Chu Miaomiao said, "You didn’t make any moves?"

Chu Zhiyuan shrugged and said, "Should I just watch and not lend a hand? Would that be a crime?"

"You are truly without mercy," Chu Miaomiao said.

Chu Zhiyuan replied, "If I intervened, I would have dragged myself into it. We are strangers, so why should I?"

Chu Miaomiao was speechless.

Expecting a stranger to risk their life to save oneself is indeed a luxury.

Even if it were her, she wouldn’t risk herself to save others.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "If the lady has no other matters, please forgive me for taking my leave."

"Other than them, who else appeared?"

"No one else, just those Golden-winged White Eagles. If you want revenge, go find those Golden-winged White Eagles."

"I’ll find them myself!" Chu Miaomiao said coldly, "However, you seeing someone die without saving them should also be punished!"

Chu Zhiyuan replied irritably, "Lady, this is truly unreasonable!"

"Then you can only admit defeat," Chu Miaomiao chuckled lightly.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "Does the lady intend to kill me?"

"Your crime does not warrant death," Chu Miaomiao said, "However, while you can avoid the death penalty, the living punishment is hard to escape!"

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Do you really want to take action?"

Chu Miaomiao, with a mysterious smile, said, "Do you still want to resist?"

Chu Zhiyuan sighed and shook his head.

He collected his momentum and began to release it.

It was like a dragon leaping from the abyss, soaring into the sky, emitting a long roar.

Chu Miaomiao furrowed her brows, staring at him.

Chu Zhiyuan’s momentum was stronger than hers, making her clearly feel the gap.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I originally didn’t want this, but there’s no choice."

Chu Miaomiao snorted, "It really is you!"

Chu Zhiyuan replied irritably, "Miss Chu, you are indeed unreasonable, making random connections. Do you really think being a Spirit Venerable allows you to act recklessly?"

"Aren’t you also a Spirit Venerable? Did they provoke you?" Chu Miaomiao said coldly.

She snorted, "They mistakenly thought your ability was ordinary, and relied on their numbers to cause chaos, but ended up being killed by you, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I can’t be bothered to lie. If you don’t believe me, what can I do?"

Chu Miaomiao frowned and stared at him.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Miss Chu, if you really want to take action, I can only accompany you. Don’t blame me for being vicious."

Chu Miaomiao snorted, "Forget it, you don’t need to stoop to their level."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Exactly."

"Can you deal with those eagles?"

"It’s somewhat challenging."

"You really are letting them die without saving them."

"Those who enter the Divine Domain are seeking death, can’t save them all. Those eagles are troublesome. What if I truly drag myself into it?"

"... Farewell."

Chu Miaomiao gave him a long look, clasped her fists, and drifted away.

Chu Zhiyuan watched her departing figure, shook his head, and turned to continue absorbing Dragon Mountain.

The Elephant Beast said, "If you had released your momentum earlier, she would have left sooner."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

The Elephant Beast said, "She wouldn’t dare to fight."

It seemed to have seen through Chu Miaomiao’s personality, someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Then you’ve misunderstood her. If I had shown my momentum right away, she absolutely wouldn’t have let it go."

"Would she dare to fight you directly?" The Elephant Beast was unconvinced.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "She has something to rely on, probably a powerful Spiritual Artifact, as evidenced by her reaction just now."

Facing his formidable momentum, she remained calm, not flustered.

This showed she had confidence.

This Chu Miaomiao’s mental method is different from that of Guangsheng Sect, evidently she has had unique encounters.

This encounter likely provided her with an extremely powerful Spiritual Artifact, a Strange Sword.

Not knowing how powerful this sword is, it’s essential to be cautious.

"... Trouble," the Elephant Beast shook its head.

Though intelligent, it couldn’t understand these twists and turns.

It couldn’t fathom why Chu Zhiyuan, obviously stronger, was still so careful.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Facing Spirit Venerable can indeed be a bit troublesome; caution is necessary."

Chu Miaomiao’s mental method is mysterious, coupled with a Spiritual Artifact, making him unsure of defeating her.

Since that’s the case, it’s better not to fight; letting her retreat in face of difficulty is sufficient.

Unless she truly refused to recognize the good intentions.

Facts proved she was not someone who failed to recognize the good.

His previous actions had already provided her with a sufficient out.

The Elephant Beast said, "Will she simply let it go? Won’t she gather allies and try to besiege you?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Guangsheng Sect is, after all, a small sect; it has many Venerables and Spirit Venerable, but the most formidable is Chu Miaomiao.

"That’s alright," said the Elephant Beast.

If things can be settled peacefully, that’s great; Spirit Venerable truly fighting could cause too much destruction.

...

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly appeared outside the Sect Leader’s Hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Inside, Lu Wanshan’s voice came: "Zhiyuan, come in."

Chu Zhiyuan stepped into the hall.

Lu Wanshan and three Elders were all there, their expressions relaxed.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and smiled, "Sect Leader, is there good news?"

Lu Wanshan chuckled, "Just received good news."

Meng Xusheng laughed and said, "Guiyang Sword Sect has caught a master from Heavenly Shadow Sect."

Chu Zhiyuan was surprised.

Meng Xusheng shook his head and laughed, "This Guiyang Sword Sect, when did they get so cunning, and even have a special Spiritual Artifact to uncover spies!"

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

The future he foresaw did not include this.

This was an already changed future.

When did Guiyang Sword Sect acquire such a Spiritual Artifact?

Zhou Chongming said, "Guiyang Sword Sect plans to hand this Heavenly Shadow Sect master over to the Court, to be dealt with by the Evil Extermination Department."

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow again.

Meng Xusheng said, "Isn’t this a bit improper?"

"Their thoughts are overly optimistic," Xu Qianfan said, "the Court may not assist."

Zhou Chongming said, "I actually think the Court should help."

He looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

Lu Wanshan and the others also looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes suddenly became vacant, and after a moment, he returned to normal and nodded, "The Evil Extermination Department will take action."

Meng Xusheng asked, "Nephew, can the Evil Extermination Department handle Heavenly Shadow Sect?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and replied, "The Evil Extermination Department specializes in this, and the Court’s Spiritual Artifacts are quite powerful,... this time, capturing a master of Heavenly Shadow Sect was due to the Court’s Spiritual Artifacts."

"The Court?" Meng Xusheng’s expression changed, "Did Guiyang Sword Sect seek assistance from the Court?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Lu Wanshan and the others’ expressions immediately darkened.

Meng Xusheng sneered, "That’s bowing to the Court!"

The Four Sects have separate residences in the Capital, making communication with the Court convenient.

The existence of those residences is not for seeking help from the Court, mainly for reporting messages, like informing about the sect’s demon-subjugation activities.

Guiyang Sword Sect clearly could have borrowed the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Array, yet they chose the Court’s Spiritual Artifacts.

This instantly made them feel uncomfortable and extremely awkward.

"What are they trying to do?!" Meng Xusheng frowned, "Are they planning to align with the Court?"

Xu Qianfan said, "Is it for the Divine Domain?... Surely it is!"

He said angrily, "Guiyang Sword Sect, I never thought they would do something like this!"

He wouldn’t be surprised if the Fuyun Sect did this, but Guiyang Sword Sect was truly unexpected.

Zhou Chongming pondered, "Not sure what kind of deal with the Court allowed them to borrow the Spiritual Artifact,... have they already sent masters in?"

"Very likely!" Meng Xusheng quickly said, "They didn’t even let us know. What are they trying to do?!"

Everyone’s expressions were unpleasant.

In an instant, they felt the alliance of the Four Sects was fragile, ready to break at any moment.

They looked at Chu Zhiyuan.
