How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 290: Detective’s Magic - Tracking Over 100 Miles

Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Detective’s Magic - Tracking Over 100 Miles

To be honest, her becoming a mistress seems to have more legitimacy than her master personally being one...

After all, there’s no difference in seniority.

And the two have been stirring things up in Jianghu for a whole month; who knows how far they’ve gone?

Even if they’ve really reached that point, it wouldn’t be surprising.

Lin Xiaose out there can make a bunch of shameless women throw themselves at him (bah... excluding herself, she’s only throwing money at the moment, not people)!

Upon arriving in Kun Cang, bringing his flawless wisdom.

Bringing his harmless pretty face.

And carrying modern knowledge.

In this uncivilized place, seducing anyone seems not to be a rare event.

Oh my god, what have I gotten myself into?

Bringing my nominal boyfriend into Kun Cang, resulting in a bunch of admirers. If my mom finds out, will she beat me to death...

Just as her inner musings were becoming more and more skewed, the air in the room seemed to stir layers of waves.

Her master Li Chushui returned.

"Hua Sect Master, Young Master Lin, Miss Feng, the great virtue of the three, Li Chushui thanks with a bow!" A deep bow.

Ding Ruoshui hurriedly fled to her master’s side and also slightly bowed.

The three returned the courtesy.

Li Chushui gently smiled: "Please enter Chunyu Pavilion, I will welcome you with a cleansing of dust!"

Hua Miaoyi and Feng Ji’s gaze simultaneously fell upon Lin Xiaosu.

Looks like the affairs of Chunshui Palace are done, what’s next?

Lin Xiaosu said, "Isn’t the Palace Master going to apprehend those traitors?"

"Those traitors fled more than two hours ago and have long integrated into the rolling Jianghu... This matter... requires long-term planning."

Li Chushui answered somewhat cryptically.

But who didn’t understand what she meant?

It’s not that she doesn’t want to catch them, but she simply can’t.

The batch of internal traitors in Chunshui Palace is quite high in rank.

Six top elders, all at the Observing Heaven level.

If people of the Observing Heaven level dive into Jianghu, how can you catch them?

If not someone of the Enlightenment Realm, you rashly enter Jianghu to investigate, they’ll take you down in no time.

And of the Enlightenment Realm, there’s only Li Chushui in the entire Chunshui Palace.

She’s not an immortal; she can’t find where those people are hiding. Even with great power, what can she do?

Lin Xiaosu said, "If the Palace Master is keen to catch them, I could lend a hand."

Li Chushui was slightly shaken: "What clever method does Young Master have?"

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "Nothing like divine skills or clever methods, just professional instinct."

"Professional instinct?" Among the four present, three did not understand.

But Ding Ruoshui smiled: "Master, I told you, he’s a detective in the outside world. Tracking and pursuing is his specialty!"

"Tracking and pursuing... Young Master can really track them?" Li Chushui’s eyes lit up.

"I wouldn’t boast about other things, but this is my field; it surely won’t disappoint the Palace Master."

Li Chushui took a deep breath: "Then... I’ll rely on you, Young Master!"

"Please!"

"Let’s go together!" Hua Miaoyi stretched her left hand, grabbing Lin Xiaosu’s shoulder, and with her right hand, grabbed Feng Ji.

"Master, I’m going too!" Ding Ruoshui eagerly reached out, grabbing Li Chushui’s hand.

In Kun Cang, few disciples were so bold before their masters.

However, Ding Ruoshui wasn’t actually from Kun Cang; she didn’t care about these protocols.

The thought in her heart was: This little Se is someone I brought in, naturally meant to stand with me.

You surely can’t take him away for the task while leaving me here feeling confused; I’d doubt life.

Thus, two giants of the Enlightenment Realm rose into the sky, embarking on the pursuit of traitors.

Li Chushui bringing along Ding Ruoshui.

Hua Miaoyi carrying Lin Xiaosu and Feng Ji.

Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, pointing to the Northwest...

In a silent unfamiliar passage, they had already left Spring Rain Palace over a hundred miles.

Over mountains, through valleys, flying across plains, ahead was a dense forest...

Everyone’s brows were furrowed.

Is Lin Xiaosu’s guided route correct?

From what was he making the guide?

Cultivators typically rely on Qi sense, but even the strongest master can’t sense beyond ten miles.

Hua Miaoyi and Li Chushui were giants of the Enlightenment Realm; neither could sense each other’s Qi, yet Lin Xiaosu could?

Even Ding Ruoshui, who most believed in Lin Xiaosu’s detective skill, was unsure for a moment; what’s this little Se doing? If you go down to the ground, use your "blessed" eyes to closely observe the ground, tracking fleeing people based on footprints and other traces, I wouldn’t be surprised at all, but you haven’t even descended!

You just nest beside Hua Miaoyi, casually pointing here and there.

I firmly don’t believe you can truly find the pursued through footprints or traces left behind.

I highly suspect you’re getting fresh with Hua Miaoyi!

"Are you sure your route isn’t wrong?" Feng Ji’s voice transmitted beside Lin Xiaosu’s ear.

Lin Xiaosu nodded slightly.

"This is the road to Three Buddha Temple!"

Lin Xiaosu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat...

Three Buddha Temple!

After these traitors’ conspiracy unraveled, they didn’t go to Cangmang Mountain, nor did they hide in Jianghu, anonymous, but instead set off to Three Buddha Temple.

Li Chushui’s eyes were like spring waters glistening, tightly locked onto the hundred-mile dense forest below.

In the dense forest, any change would surely escape her sight.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaosu pointed: "There!"

Li Chushui’s gaze followed and fell there, seeing...

Six people...

Six people in the dense forest.

Truly, they were like stray dogs in panic.

These were the six top elders under Chunshui Palace, with the great elder leading them.

They raced ahead, two hundred miles; their minds still in a daze.

They couldn’t comprehend why their elaborately planned scheme failed.

But now is not the time for analysis; they just need to know one thing: the plan failed, they must escape!

In those two hundred miles, they changed clothes and set innumerable disguises.

Each disguise could mislead the pursuers.

This is a skill they honed over centuries in the Jianghu.

At the beginning, their hearts were extremely tense, constantly worrying about Li Chushui suddenly appearing overhead.

After a hundred miles, their hearts calmed a bit.

After two hundred miles, with the destination in sight, they finally relaxed.

"Cross the mountain ahead, and we’ve arrived!" The great elder took a long breath.

"Cross!"

The second elder uttered a word, tapped his foot, and soared into the sky.

All the elders leapt simultaneously.

In the Peeping Heaven Realm, scaling the mountain before them was effortless.

In a swoosh, they broke through the clouds atop the mountain, and the scene before them cleared.

A row of temples bathed in golden sunlight, exuding endless Buddhist radiance.

That was Three Buddha Temple.

That was also their destination.

The great elder stood atop the mountain, turning to glance at the vast mountains behind.

The Chang Feng blew, gently lifting his graying hair...

Chunshui Palace was now three hundred miles away.

Chunshui Palace, the place they had strived at for four hundred years, was now unrelated to them.

This was their choice...

Regret or not, that’s for later; the key is that this step marks a different path in life.

"Great elder, we have no retreat now, let’s go!" The second elder whispered.

"Half a life of storms, half a life of ashes, from now on the ends of the earth are unreturnable, it truly stirs emotions..." The great elder sighed longly: "Go!"

This might be his final command.

The final command as the great elder...

Yet, no one moved!

It’s not that they didn’t want to move, but suddenly, an immense force covered them; their toes touched the ground, yet they couldn’t lift off.

The great elder suddenly looked up, his face utterly pale at this moment.

For he had a very bad premonition.

The premonition quickly came true, a gentle voice like water echoed from ahead: "If betrayal comes without a cost, then the Heavenly Dao loses its rules, doesn’t it, elders?"

As the voice fell, the clouds ahead seemed to transform into a blue wave.

Within the blue wave, a woman floated gracefully.

Her every step was on the blue wave, in this moment, she appeared immortal.

But the elders would rather face a hundred world-shattering monsters than meet her as this immortal.

Because she was Li Chushui!

"Palace master..." The great elder trembled all over.

"Palace master... spare us!" The second elder called out.

"Thud!" The remaining four elders dropped to their knees simultaneously, their backs soaked in the instant they knelt.

Li Chushui stepped through the void, advancing step by step; each step seemed to carry the breath of ancient glaciers.

Above the six, she slowly raised her foot!

That raising, like a mountain hanging in the air.

The falling, would cause earth-shaking tremors.

But just as the foot was about to fall.

A Buddha chant echoed through the void: "Amitabha!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

The four-character chant fell, and a golden lotus blossomed beneath Li Chushui’s foot, standing between her and the six elders.

Li Chushui’s hair flew up, seeing an old monk stepping through the void, crossing thousands of temples with one step, spanning a ten-mile gorge with the second step, and standing before her on the third.

This old monk was the same dharma image Lin Xiaosu first saw at the temple ruins, the master who mediated during Hua Miaoyi and Zheng Tianyan’s battle at Tianyan Palace, known as "Master Kong Ru".

Above the clouds, Hua Miaoyi furrowed her brow.

Lin Xiaosu’s gaze locked onto the old monk, with extreme seriousness.

Master Kong Ru raised his gaze: "Is Lord Li intending to execute these six benefactors ruthlessly?"

Li Chushui said: "These six are Chunshui Palace traitors; as the lord, I punish traitors. Does the master intend to intervene?"

"Amitabha, heaven possesses the virtue of preserving life, and Buddhist Tao has a heart of compassion. As a lord of a palace, to mercilessly execute old acquaintances without a single word of disagreement—is it the demeanor of the righteous palace sect?"

Li Chushui sneered: "Mercilessly execute without a word of disagreement? Does the master understand the situation?"

"Amitabha, truly, the old monk does not understand the details... Perhaps, let these six benefactors speak a word, explaining what unforgivable sins led the palace master to cross hundreds of miles to wreak havoc in my Buddha’s sight."

Li Chushui’s complexion turned icy cold...

You sinister old monk.

With words full of hidden meaning.

"Wreak havoc in my Buddha’s sight," these ten words are the hidden meaning.

Li Chushui was a refined expert of the Jianghu.

She naturally knew that as long as the six entered the domain of Three Buddha Temple, trying to kill them would be fraught with difficulties, so she intercepted them before they crossed the boundary.

In theory, even if Three Buddha Temple saw it, they couldn’t intervene.

Yet, she underestimated the old monk’s eagerness to participate, creatively using the phrase "in my Buddha’s sight."

In my Buddha’s sight, the scope widened.

Not limited by regional boundary stele.

Anyway, he adhered to one principle: "I saw it," is "in my Buddha’s sight."

My eyes are Buddha’s eyes, my sight is Buddha’s sight...
