Chapter 658: Is That All the Energy of the Heavenly Dao?

Chapter 658: Chapter 658: Is That All the Energy of the Heavenly Dao?

Mentioning Quan Sicheng, Shang Minghao felt guilty once again.

He avoided Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei’s gazes.

Shi Yaoguang and the other had a bad feeling, but still asked, "What exactly happened?"

Heavenly Dao said sheepishly, "It’s, it’s not really a big deal..."

"Hmm?"

"Isn’t Quan Sicheng the chosen one? And then, there was too much Demonic Qi, he... he just absorbed a little bit..."

As Shang Minghao spoke, he even made a tiny gesture with his hands.

However.

Neither Shi Yaoguang nor Quan Jinbei believed his so-called little bit.

If it really were just a little bit, Shang Minghao wouldn’t have the expression he had now.

Shang Minghao also knew he couldn’t hide it, so he reluctantly said, "Alright, alright, it’s not just a little bit, but you can’t blame me, I didn’t know things would turn out this way."

As he said this, he seemed to harbor some resentment towards Shi Yaoguang.

Had it not been for Shi Yaoguang, he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

Knowing what he was thinking, Shi Yaoguang spat disdainfully, "You’d better think carefully before you speak!"

Shang Minghao felt even guiltier, "I really didn’t do it on purpose!"

"I... I was just trying to make amends to you, wasn’t I?"

Shi Yaoguang laughed as though he had heard a joke, "You are trying to make amends to me?"

Shang Minghao felt he had some reason to say this, "I really did want to make amends to you, I... I just didn’t anticipate that things would turn out this way, if I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have done it, you would have forgiven me, right?"

Shi Yaoguang sneered, "Why should I forgive you?"

Shang Minghao lowered his head, filled with self-reproach, "I really didn’t do it on purpose, and there’s no use not forgiving me now."

"Even I can’t do anything about Quan Sicheng now."

Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

What on earth was Heavenly Dao trying to do?

Other than being a dead weight dragging others down, what else could he do?

Heavenly Dao knew he was at fault, but he truly had no other options.

Originally, he just wanted to cause a minor accident.

As the old saying goes, only with accidents do stories arise.

He simply thought of letting a little incident happen between Shi Yaoguang and Quan Sicheng.

As long as Shi Yaoguang and Quan Sicheng got together, she would automatically become the heroine.

The constant influx of influence was beckoning him, wasn’t it?

Only, he hadn’t expected...

The story hadn’t even started when the accident already fell through.

He also hadn’t foreseen that Quan Sicheng, as a weakened protagonist of Heavenly Dao, would absorb Demonic Qi so efficiently.

The lack of information led to him almost accidentally raising a great demon lord.

But honestly, even Heavenly Dao now wasn’t sure whether he had raised a great demon lord.

Because, after Quan Sicheng absorbed the Demonic Qi, he hadn’t seen Quan Sicheng since.

He didn’t know where Quan Sicheng was now or what he was doing.

After listening to Shang Minghao, both Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei felt an urge to beat Shang Minghao up.

If this world wasn’t the one they lived in, they would have definitely enjoyed watching Heavenly Dao dig his own grave.

Is Demonic Qi so easy to control?

It was bad enough that Heavenly Dao wasn’t on guard against the invasion of Demonic Qi, but to think he even brought it over himself!

Was he not just handing a knife to others?

"I already know I was wrong, aren’t I regretting it now?" Shang Minghao said very guiltily, muttering, "The key issue now is not to settle scores with me, the urgent priority is to think about how to solve this problem..."

This was indeed a big problem.

Before Shang Minghao said anything, Shi Yaoguang indeed hadn’t taken Quan Sicheng seriously.

It was mainly that she never thought Heavenly Dao could be so foolish.

Foolish enough to hang itself from the southeast branch.

Now, whatever is said, it’s too late.

According to Shang Minghao, since Quan Sicheng absorbed Demonic Qi, Heavenly Dao hasn’t seen him since.

This was quite obvious.

And it posed a hidden danger.

"I’m begging you, can you please stop criticizing me? I really do realize my mistake, let’s think about what to do now."

Speaking of which, it was indeed time to think of a solution.

Now that even Heavenly Dao couldn’t control Quan Sicheng, the danger he posed had become incomparable to before.

Before this, Shi Yaoguang never took Quan Sicheng seriously.

After all, he was just a weakling, and weaklings are doomed to have no rights.

But now...

Shi Yaoguang glanced at Shang Minghao, who was looking pathetic, took a deep breath, and said, "You continue to purify the Demonic Qi here and try to find Quan Sicheng."

"Can you find him?" Shang Minghao asked hesitantly.

If he couldn’t find the male lead, could Shi Yaoguang?

Shi Yaoguang sneered coldly, "Find him I must, even if it seems impossible! If Quan Sicheng isn’t controlled by the Demonic Qi, that’s fine, but if he is, it’ll be too late to say anything!"

Shang Minghao knew this reasoning and dared not say more.

Even so, Shi Yaoguang still didn’t give him a friendly look.

Because of him, how much more work had she and Quan Jinbei had to take on?

Quan Jinbei naturally agreed with Shi Yaoguang’s thoughts, but Shang Minghao’s concerns were also reasonable.

Even Heavenly Dao itself couldn’t find Quan Sicheng, so finding him wasn’t going to be easy for them.

Just as they were at a loss for Quan Sicheng’s whereabouts, Shi Yaoguang’s phone rang.

She answered it and it was a call from Zhan Miao.

Zhan Miao’s tone carried some hesitation as if he wasn’t sure whether to tell her, prompting Shi Yaoguang to immediately ask, "Just say what you want to say."

Zhan Miao complied and then explained the purpose of his call.

Zhan Miao’s call was about nothing else but Quan Sicheng.

Of course, Zhan Miao didn’t directly say it had something to do with Quan Sicheng, because Zhan Miao hadn’t recognized him.

He made this call because the surveillance captured black mist...

Strange black mist forming a human shape!

Since the founding of the nation, spirits were not allowed to manifest, and the surveillance footage showing this was not scientific, obviously indicating something strange.

In Zhan Miao’s view, Shi Yaoguang was someone who understood these matters, and seeking her help with such problems was naturally the best option.

So, he made the call.

After listening to Zhan Miao, Shi Yaoguang also understood his thoughts and immediately made her stance clear.

"Send me the coordinates of the surveillance anomaly, I’ll be there right away."

Hearing this, Zhan Miao breathed a sigh of relief and promptly sent over the coordinates and other related information he had prepared to Shi Yaoguang.

After reviewing them, Shi Yaoguang prepared to take action personally.

Quan Jinbei also wanted to go with her, but Shang Minghao stopped him.

"Mr. Quan, you should stay here..."

Gazed at by Quan Jinbei’s piercing eyes, Shang Minghao felt somewhat guilty, but still felt the need to speak his mind.

With the Demonic Qi so dense here, a Heavenly Dao aspect was unable to completely deal with it.

Quan Jinbei wasn’t really interested in dealing with him: "Is Heavenly Dao’s energy really so limited?"

"Of course not!" Shang Minghao replied without a second thought.

Quan Jinbei scoffed, "Since that’s not the case, can’t you distribute some energy yourself to solve this?"

Shang Minghao’s eyes darted about, and his tone was troubled: "It’s true Heavenly Dao has more energy than this, but I can’t make use of the other energies."
