Chapter 294: Chapter 284: Familiar? I Don’t Think So!

"Liang Chief’s behavior seems a bit odd, doesn’t it? Shouldn’t we pay attention to it?" An Mujing looked at Su Youyi, who was walking in front of her, and asked with a hint of worry in her eyes and expression.

Rumor has it that Su Youyi is in a Daoist partnership with Liang Chief. Why does Sister Su seem not worried at all?

"There’s nothing to worry about, I trust my senior brother." The corner of Su Youyi’s mouth lifted slightly, and there was no confusion in her eyes, nor did she offer any explanation to An Mujing.

The trust between her and her senior brother transcends any words in this world.

"Let’s go, let’s go find Elder Fu at Wind God Commerce first. My senior brother will catch up with us later."

"Oh..." Watching the determined Su Youyi, An Mujing blinked several times as if she wanted to say something but in the end, she simply replied with a quick acknowledgment.

As he watched his junior sister and An Mujing gradually disappear into the bustling crowd on the street, Liang Yi glanced around before stepping into the darkness that lay before him.

"If I’m not mistaken, that was an Abyssal Aura, wasn’t it?" Although it was phrased as a question, Grandpa Jiu’s tone was one of certainty.

He was confident that no one in the world understood the Abyss better than him, and he was certain that he would not misidentify an Abyssal Aura.

"I suppose so." While Liang Yi knew who was approaching, he wasn’t sure whether she bore any Abyssal Aura.

"Is she an acquaintance of yours?" Grandpa Jiu’s expression, previously somewhat serious, softened when he saw Liang Yi’s nonchalant demeanor—clearly, the visitor was someone Liang Yi knew.

"An acquaintance... not quite..." Liang Yi rubbed his chin thoughtfully as he recalled the first meeting with Wan Tinggui and responded. He had only met Wan Tinggui a few times, and though they had a cooperative relationship, they could hardly be considered acquaintances.

"If you put it that way, you might hurt her feelings." A composed voice emanated from all around, elusive like stars hidden behind clouds, somewhat indistinct to the ears.

"Why are you here?" Liang Yi cleaned his ear and then leaned casually against the nearby wall, looking straight ahead with complete ease.

"I heard the Devouring Spirit Sect has plans for Complete Heaven Sect, and I came over to see what’s up." A graceful figure emerged slowly from the shadows under the watchful eyes of Liang Yi and Grandpa Jiu, like parting clouds to reveal the bright moon, strikingly vivid.

The newcomer was none other than the Saintess of Devouring Spirit Sect, Wan Tinggui, who had a cooperative relationship with Liang Yi.

"The Devouring Spirit Sect has plans for Complete Heaven Sect? What kind of situation?" Liang Yi was briefly startled upon hearing this information. Hadn’t his master dealt a blow to Devouring Spirit Sect not long ago which should have kept them preoccupied and out of trouble for a while? Yet they were still causing disturbances.

"The informant within Complete Heaven Sect says that Fang Zhi is preparing some major action that could leave him severely weakened for a while. The Azure Dragon envoys are considering this an opportunity to eliminate Fang Zhi." Wan Tinggui, clad in a black gown that blended with the darkness behind her, stood out like a black rose in bloom, her slender figure and picturesque eyes containing a hint of helplessness.

She herself didn’t understand what that man was thinking, issuing such an order. Even if Fang Zhi was seriously injured, he wouldn’t be easily dealt with, especially within the gates of Complete Heaven Sect where Fang Zhi’s strength had to be one level higher at least.

"Is that so?" Liang Yi had some guesses about the ’big action’ that they said Fang Zhi was undertaking.

Yu Gejing’s Innate body had defects which would not allow her a long life. The senior Fang got a spark of inspiration from the sudden change in Liang Yi’s destined path. On top of that, with the Immortal Path being continued once again, senior Fang made further advancements, reaching the Eighth Realm, and greatly improved his strength.

Hence, he planned on overcoming fate and modifying the destiny for Yu Gejing.

Wan Tinggui’s enchanting phoenix eyes fixated on Liang Yi, who seemed contemplative. It appeared he knew something. There was also that unusual beast perched on his shoulder – what was its origin? From the moment it appeared, it had been staring straight at her with its vertical pupils, evoking a subtle sense of danger in her.

This was certainly no ordinary demon beast.

"To this hardly acquainted partner of mine, may I ask you to share your intelligence with me?" Wan Tinggui crossed her arms and adopted a different stance as she looked at Liang Yi.

At this moment, the starlight and moonlight hidden behind the clouds fell down together, illuminating the entire Taibai City, as well as this secluded alley.

"I can." The information brought by Wan Tinggui was very useful, and Liang Yi felt relatively safe with her. After weighing the pros and cons, he disclosed the matter to Wan Tinggui. After all, it seemed Fang Zhi was not intentionally hiding this matter.

However, Liang Yi didn’t reveal everything; he simply hinted at Fang Zhi’s intention to defy the Heavenly Dao and change his own fate.

"Defying the heavens to change fate and alter the course of one’s destiny? Truly horrifying, and who knows what price must be paid." Wan Tinggui heard of altering the course of destiny for the first time and couldn’t help but marvel at the notion.

If this were to be used for other purposes, it could also be deemed an unsolvable killing Daoist Skill, directly determining a person’s death from their fate—this already involves the supreme Law of Karma.

The result of future death is decided now, and without powerful forces to resist fate, one would truly have nothing left but to wait for death.

"Right, do the Abnormal People really have the ability to see through the disguises of the Devouring Spirit Sect?" Wan Tinggui’s voice was melodious and lingering, making people can’t help but want to listen to her more.

Now, whether it’s Wan Tinggui or the other members of the Devouring Spirit Sect, none dare to show themselves in front of the Abnormal People easily anymore—the painful lesson from Qingliang City has left a deep impression. No matter how well-hidden they are, in front of the Abnormal People’s eyes, it is all in vain.

The number of Abnormal People born from the phenomena of the Heavenly Dao has surged dramatically, increasing every second, causing all hidden members of the Devouring Spirit Sect to feel restless.

"Who knows? I’m not one of them." Liang Yi shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, indifferent to the mundane and secular world.

"Is that so?" Wan Tinggui expressed extreme doubt towards Liang Yi, for she had previously seen him dealing with those Abnormal People, seemingly quite familiar with them.

"Truly." Liang Yi blinked his eyes, trying to make himself appear more trustworthy.

"That’s all I want to remind you of, I have other matters to attend to and do not plan to get involved in this. Take care of yourself." Wan Tinggui’s voice gradually became ethereal, fading into the darkness behind her as she spoke, disappearing completely from view by the time she finished speaking, even eluding the senses of Liang Yi and Grandfather Orange.

"How odd, that person just now had a hint of the Abyssal Aura, but it was not strong, more like a Cultivator who was a descendant of someone tainted with the Abyssal Aura." Grandfather Orange, who had been silent since the beginning, let out a quiet sigh of relief.

He held no fondness for any person or thing with even a whiff of the Abyssal Aura, hence he had been on edge the whole time Liang Yi was talking with Wan Tinggui.

"Moreover, that woman didn’t come alone; I sensed the presence of others in the darkness."

"The Devouring Spirit Sect’s Saintess, with her abilities, it’s not surprising she could be harboring a significant force, and having followers isn’t strange at all," Liang Yi said as he stroked Grandfather Orange, calming him down. "As for the Abyssal Aura you mentioned, it must be something inherited from her father, after all, her dad truly did pledge allegiance to the Abyss."

"I see." Grandfather Orange withdrew his paws, tucking them in and continued to lie on Liang Yi’s shoulder.

After observing the surroundings and detecting no one else’s presence, Liang Yi collected his gaze and discreetly turned to leave.

Meanwhile, atop the Fengxian Building beside the alleyway, stood a figure with a graced lean; backed by moonlight, they observed Liang Yi joining the crowd from above.

"Saintess, are we really not going to do anything about this matter?" came a hoarse voice from beneath a mask, as if two pieces of sandpaper were rubbing against each other.

"Ling Elder, our goal is simple. It’s to overthrow the Devouring Spirit Sect, to make that proud man above us fall from the clouds, to repay his sins, and to avenge my mother," Wan Tinggui replied, her face bathed in moonlight that spilled quietly over Taibai City, revealing a trace of sanctity. The night was cool, the breeze gently lifted her skirt, waving like waves.

"Our forces are currently with the Blood Control Sect. Only the two of us are here this time, so we are not strong enough to confront Shi Jun and his crew. Given this, it makes sense to tell Liang Yi about this. His grudge with the Devouring Spirit Sect has reached a do-or-die level. Having learned about this, he will certainly be more committed and diligent in sabotaging than us."

Wan Tinggui, who had devoted herself to acting, had noticed that she was beginning to be suspected by the Azure Dragon, but they had no evidence, and she was indeed diligently developing the Devouring Spirit Sect’s force at Blood Control Sect’s side.

But sometimes, she was developing forces loyal only to herself within the Devouring Spirit Sect.

"What about the Vermilion Bird? Seeing her the other day, she seemed distracted, and I almost thought she had fallen in love," Wan Tinggui asked the elder beside her.

"The last time I saw her, she seemed to have gone to Qingliang City secretly, but the state of Vermilion Bird’s mind appeared to be quite unstable," Ling Dongsheng replied respectfully with his head lowered.

"Then we won’t bother about her, let’s inform our people that they shouldn’t wander in front of the Abnormal People if it’s not necessary—if they can avoid them, they should. All operations should shift behind the scenes."

"Yes!"

Although Liang Yi cunningly avoided answering her question, Wan Tinggui decided to be more cautious. If the power she had painstakingly cultivated to strike a heavy blow to the Devouring Spirit Sect was exposed by the Abnormal People and reported to the local Super Forces before she had a chance to use it, Wan Tinggui would truly have nowhere to cry.

While Liang Yi rushed towards the Wind God Commerce, An Mujing had already arrived at the Complete Heaven Sect’s office in Taibai City with Su Youyi, directly seeking Elder Fu Changxing, who had reportedly just returned according to the disciples.

"Elder Fu, Sister Yu has asked me to retrieve some materials!"
