Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats-Chapter 325: The Grand Deception

After Ethan left, Ranulf took a deep breath and gently placed the Celestial Spring Koi Fish into a pristine jade basin filled with spiritual spring water.

’Swiish’

First, Ranulf circulated a gentle stream of life-type spirit essence in his body, trying to make the Koi Fish feel safe.

Next, he sat beside the jade basin before speaking in a soft and calm voice, "Little one, I know you’re feeling sad... but I promise, the Greenfire Sect will treat you well."

After his promise, he then took out a handful of top-grade spirit fruits that contained gentle energy and slowly fed them one by one.

’Shua’

’Shua’

However, despite his efforts, the Celestial Spring Koi Fish only swam in silence, completely ignoring him.

Its golden eyes were dull, and its tail was barely flicking.

With a look, anyone could tell that it was sad to be separated from Ethan.

’Looks like it is going to take a long time to get approval from it.’

Ranulf silently muttered to himself; however, he had already expected it.

He had a lot of experience when dealing with Spirit Beasts, and if it were any other Spirit Beast, Ranulf could easily use his fists to make it submit to him.

However, the Celestial Spring Koi Fish is not a regular Spirit Beast but a Heavenly Beast.

Unlike the Spirit Beasts, regular methods of using force to tame the Heavenly Beasts won’t work, and if someone really forces it, the Heavenly Beasts commit suicide rather than become someone else’s pet.

’Someone who doesn’t even put up a fight and gives up on her for a Heavenly Artifact... he doesn’t deserve her love.’

Looking at the Celestial Spring Koi Fish that was in low spirits, Ranulf gritted his teeth but in the end, he could only sigh, ’Sigh... I hope she gets over him quickly.’

If Ethan was here, he would have given a thumbs up to the Koi Fish because its acting was much better than him.

That’s right! It was an act that Celea was putting on as it waited for a signal from its master.

...

The distance between the Qilin Peak and the entrance of the Greenfire Realm was more than 100 kilometers; however, Ethan could still see the Celestial Spring Koi Fish and Ranulf.

It was thanks to his skill [Azure Snake Eyes].

Before breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, he was only able to see a dozen kilometers; however, now, even without any skill, he could see dozens of kilometers.

Adding to the enhancement from [Azure Snake Eyes], he could clearly see what’s happening on the Qilin Peak and was a bit surprised, ’Are all Heavenly Beasts this good at acting?’

The Celestial Spring Koi Fish was not the only Heavenly Beast that Ethan had. There was another one, the Spider Monkey named Tangle, which was owned by his loyal subordinate, Shadow Bee.

He noticed that Tangle was so good at acting that there were times when he even got fooled back during the Beast Extermination Trial.

"Master Ethan, Grand Ancestor Cedric..."

Soon, they were nearing the barrier of the Greenfire Realm, and Elder Wren asked them to hold tight when passing through it.

’Celea, now use Celestial Scale Explosion and kill yourself.’

As soon as Ethan heard Elder Wren’s words, he gave his orders to the Celestial Spring Koi Fish.

’Shua’

On the Qilin Peak, as soon as she received Ethan’s orders, the Celestial Spring Koi Fish didn’t waste any time and used her skill.

’Boom’

’Boom’

.

.

.

There were hundreds of scales on her body, and all of them exploded one after another in a chain reaction.

Each explosion was like a ripple of celestial energy, creating shockwaves of pure life force that lit up the entire Qilin Peak. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"W-what is happening?"

Ranulf’s expression changed as he instinctively backed away, raising his guard.

"No... no! Stop!"

BOOM!

A final explosion, stronger than the rest, erupted from Celea’s tiny body, sending out a shockwave that cracked the surrounding stone tiles and shattered the jade basin.

As the smoke settled and the divine light faded, only ashes remained that gently floated over the empty jade basin like white petals as they were carried away by the wind.

"...T-this... can’t be."

Ranulf stared in disbelief with his hand trembling slightly as he realised what had just happened.

The Celestial Spring Koi Fish... was dead.

’Swiish’

"What happened?"

The series of explosions on the Qilin Peak had disturbed Grand Elder Fenon. So, he arrived in no time and asked Ranulf with a frown.

"Grand Elder, t-this..."

Soon, Ranulf explained everything without missing a single detail.

"You killed the Heavenly Fish?"

Fenon was shocked, and his expression turned ugly.

"N-no, Grand Elder. The Heavenly Fish... has committed suicide."

Ranulf hurriedly corrected, trying his best to defend himself.

"You..."

Fenon was angry as he shouted, "You must have tried using your regular methods, which you use on the Spirit Beasts to tame them, and the Heavenly Fish could not bear it and committed suicide."

"Grand Elder, I didn’t force it. I just tried to feed it some Spirit Fruits to form a bond with it. And I know..."

"Who the hell asked you to try bonding with it as soon as its master left? Do you think forming a bond with a Heavenly Beast is that easy?"

Before Ranulf could finish his words, Grand Elder cut him off and scoffed at him.

Grand Elder Fenon had plans regarding the Heavenly Fish to make the Greenfire Sect even more powerful.

However, now, since the Heavenly Fish has committed suicide, all his plans are good for nothing.

"Sorry, Grand Elder. I will take full responsibility before other Supreme Elders can point fingers at me."

Ranulf knew why the Grand Elder was angry because once the other Supreme Elders knew about this issue, it would become a bigger issue.

Therefore, Ranulf decided to take responsibility before that to shut their mouths.

"Responsibility?"

Grand Elder shook his head and said, "Remember, the Heavenly Fish is still alive, and it is currently under my care. It is your responsibility to make all the Supreme Elders and the entire world believe it."

"T-this..."

Ranulf was shocked to hear Grand Elder’s words; however, he quickly understood what the Grand Elder was trying to do.

Currently, the entire world believes that the Heavenly Fish, which has the ability to revive others, is in the possession of the Greenfire Sect.

Although the Heavenly Fish had committed ’Suicide’, only Grand Elder and Ranulf knew about it, while others didn’t.

Even if the Grand Elder can’t use his earlier plans regarding the Heavenly Fish, he decided to use the ability of the Heavenly Fish to deter the Hermit Tribes and the other two top sects.

That’s right!

When other forces knew about the Heavenly Fish being in the Greenfire Sect’s possession, no one would dare to start a war with them because just imagine the Heavenly Fish reviving the powerful supreme elders and even the Sect Leader in the middle of the war. It was enough to deter others.

Since Ranulf was an expert who dealt with information, Grand Elder knew Ranulf would do what he had to do.

"But remember one thing, you have disappointed me."

Saying that, the Grand Elder returned to his cave abode, leaving behind a frustrated and angry Ranulf.

...

At the same time, the one who was responsible for such a scene had already left the Greenfire Realm and even returned to the Lin Family Courtyard.
