Chapter 3398: A Fortuitous Encounter For You
The Smudge Crow Sect was a sixth-grade sect that was located in a barren and desolate mountain range. There were hardly any human activities in its surroundings. However, hidden behind the mountains was a bustling estate with many buildings. The sect’s estate looked like paradise.
“Ninth Elder?”
When Li Rou and the others were being escorted into the Smudge Crow Sect’s estate, they ran into another group of members from the Elegant Sect that was also caught by the Smudge Crow Sect.
Li Rou saw a beautiful lady who looked rather miserable at this moment and at least a dozen disciples behind her.
“Seventh Elder?” Li Rou smiled bitterly. She did not expect to meet the Seventh Elder of the Elegant Sect and the other disciples outside of the Smudge Crow Sect’s estate. It seemed like although the Elegant Sect members had deliberately fled in different directions, many of them were still caught by the Smudge Crow Sect.
The beautiful lady said to Li Rou through Voice Transmission, “Our Sect Leader has committed suicide… Ninth Elder, what did the Elegant Sect do wrong to suffer such a fate? If it weren’t for my two disciples, I would follow in the Sect Leader’s footsteps…” Burning hatred could be heard in her voice as she spoke.
At this moment, an old man, the person who captured the Seventh Elder of the Elegant Sect and the other disciples, said to Fang Ji, “Third Elder, you caught quite a number of them…”
The old man stepped forward and looked at Li Rou from head to toe before he said, “This must be the Ninth Elder of the Elegant Sect, Li Rou, right? The woman our Sect Leader has taken a liking to? Although she’s quite pretty, I heard the Sect Leader wants her because of her innate talent. He’s hoping she would be able to bear children with a high innate talent for him. Our sect will definitely be able to become a fifth or fourth-grade sect in the future if their children inherit her innate talent…”
“Fifth Elder, you captured quite a lot of them as well,” Fang Ji replied with a faint smile as he looked at the group of Elegant Sect members whom the old man captured.
Meanwhile, Li Rou’s expression changed slightly. She realized how naive she had been to think she could stop the advances from the Sect Leader of the Smudge Crow Sect if she disfigured her face. Since the Sect Leader of the Smudge Crow Sect was after innate talent, it would be pointless even if she disfigured her face. If she really bore children for him, he would definitely use their children to control her in the future. She was shocked by his plans. Following that, she sighed in relief. ‘Thank the heavens that Brother Feng is on his way…’
‘Brother Feng is with Tian’er. He has been reunited with Si Ling, Tian Wu, and Senior Brother Feng as well. I can’t believe that brat found another woman. What kind of woman managed to move him before he could even save Ke’er?’ Li Rou was no longer afraid now that she knew Duan Ru Feng was coming to her rescue. Moreover, he had told her he was confident about taking the Smudge Crow Sect down. Not only was her husband a Celestial Lord now, but her son was now a Celestial Emperor.
‘Tian’er is now a Celestial Emperor… He must have suffered a lot before this…’ Li Rou felt distressed when she thought about Duan Ling Tian. Although she was happy to learn her son had grown so strong, she knew her son’s achievements did not come easy.
At this time, Fang Ji handed the disciples with Li Rou to the old man.
“Ninth Elder!”
The expressions of the Elegant Sect disciples who were with Li Rou changed drastically now that they were being separated from her. They had grown attached to her after everything they had been through, after all. How could they not feel reluctant and uneasy now that they had to part with her who had become their pillar of strength?
“Junior aunt!” the teenager cried out. As she reached for Li Rou, she was forcibly taken away.
After the old man took everyone away, only Li Rou and Fang Ji were left. Fang Ji said nonchalantly, “Elder Li Rou, please follow me to meet the Sect Leader…”
“Fang Ji,” Li Rou stood still as she looked at Fang Ji and solemnly said, “If you’re willing to let me go, I’ll point you to a fortuitous encounter.”
“Let you go? Impossible!” Fang Ji was briefly stunned by her words. Then, he said impatiently, “Elder Li Rou, don’t blame me for being rude if you still refuse to move…”
Fang Ji retorted, “Since it’s innate talent, doesn’t it mean you’re born with it?”
“Born with it?” Li Rou laughed. “I ascended from a mundane realm. How high can my innate talent be?”
A shocked expression appeared on Fang Ji’s face, “You’re from a mundane realm?”
Fang Ji had also ascended from a mundane realm. He was a monstrous talent back when he was in the mundane realm but was mediocre after he ascended. He could not compare to the celestials who were born in the Devata Realms. Therefore, he was keenly aware of the gap between those who ascended and those who were born in Devata Realms.
“Elder Fang Ji, you don’t believe me?” Li Rou shook her head. “If that’s the case, forget what I said. If you let me go, I planned to tell you about how my innate talent soared so high. Since you’re uninterested, bring me to your Sect Leader. If I could choose, I’d rather make a deal with you since I’m afraid he would renege on the deal…” She looked at Fang Ji meaningfully at the end of her words.
Fang Ji remained silent. He studied Li Rou’s face intently, looking for signs that she was lying. In the end, he said, “Elder Li Rou, you should know words alone won’t be enough to convince me…”
Li Rou did not seem to care that Fang Ji did not believe her as she said, “In the past, I chanced upon a place. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in that place is different from that in the Devata Realms, they are much richer. There was a skeleton at the entrance of that place along with a Memory Celestial Talisman that contained the deceased’s final message. He had said that the place I chanced upon is a remnant of a Realm of God. I didn’t know what Realms of Gods are until I met a powerhouse while I was wandering the world. The Realms of Gods are realms that surpass Devata Realms. It’s where people who have attained godhood, meaning those who’ve broken through the stage of a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor, lived. After absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy from that remnant of a Realm of God, I was transformed and my innate talent rose…”
“If what you say is true, why didn’t you reveal it to those from the Elegant Sect? Weren’t you close to your master?” Fang Ji asked skeptically. Nevertheless, a hint of greed could be seen flashing in the depths of his eyes. It seemed like he was somewhat persuaded by Li Rou’s words.
Fang Ji had naturally heard of the Realms of Gods. If Li Rou was not lying about that place she entered, there was no doubt the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy there was far superior to any places in the Devata Realms. It was not impossible for that place to raise one’s talent. Alas, he was unaware that he would not gain much even if he went to such a place. The Heaven and Earth Energy Spirit could only raise the innate talent and change the constitution of those who had yet to become Celestials.
“Of course, I told my master about that place. However, she was not interested since her time was limited. She warned me and told me to keep the place a secret in fear that it would bring trouble to me so I didn’t tell anyone else about it,” Li Rou said. Then, she said warily, “Elder Fang Ji, if you want to know where that place is located, let’s make a deal. You better not think of killing me after I reveal the location of that place to you…”
Fang Ji said, “Am I, Fang Ji, that kind of person? Alright, what else do want in exchange apart from your freedom”
“I’m still thinking about it. I’ll continue thinking about it during our journey to the remnant of a Realm of Gods. I’ll let you know once I made up my mind,” Li Rou said.
“Alright.” Fang Ji nodded. Despite his words, he had no intention of letting Li Rou live after Li Rou led him to the remnant of a Realm of God.
