Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 661 - 553: Acting Sect Leader?!

High is White Cloud Mountain, majestic is Canglan Waters.

Beside the surging tide, a man with a straight back, broad shoulders, capable of supporting the heavens, with a face of authority, holds a fishing rod, sitting by the shore.

He wears a loose black robe, his hair bound with cloth, seemingly ordinary without any Divine Marvel.

Yet just sitting there, he seems to be the center of the entire universe, exuding a grand presence that controls the great momentum of the world.

Splish-splash——

The tide splashes, amid the scattered waterflowers, a yellow fish falls beside the man.

Glancing at the fish struggling on the ground, the man slightly frowns, slowly putting down the fishing rod, then raises his hand to pick up the yellow fish.

"Avoiding the bait, seeking death instead?

Curious indeed, has the fate already become so blurred and chaotic?"

Staring at the fish in hand, his eyes emit a faint Divine Light, and in the next moment, the yellow fish suddenly transforms into a piece of yellow jade, with two ancient seals faintly appearing on it.

Rubbing the mottled inscriptions on the jade, the man silently pauses, then tosses the jade into the tide before him.

"How did the probing go?"

Picking up the fishing rod again, Zhu Shanhe speaks calmly.

"Dongfang Qing is indeed missing; although there are several foundations guarding within his mountain gate, none carry his aura.

However, during this visit, I chanced upon something interesting."

The resurrected Gao Tianxiong sits beside Zhu Shanhe, his composed posture and aura evidently restored to its peak state.

"Something interesting?"

Turning slightly, Zhu Shanhe's gaze shifts:

"Did you lose a life?

Was it done by the Shenxiao Sect's foundation?"

"This is the interesting thing I want to tell you."

With a nonchalant demeanor, Gao Tianxiong casually rummages through the fish basket beside Zhu Shanhe, seemingly unconcerned about losing a life in vain.

"Oh? Elaborate."

He explains his experience at the Shenxiao Sect Gate, being slain by the Nine Heavens Divine Firmament Ruler of Thunder True Venerable summoned by Qi Xiu.

Upon hearing the account, Zhu Shanhe's eyes also reveal a glint of brilliance:

"Although the Nine Heavens Divine Firmament Ruler of Thunder True Venerable is among the Human Race's top ten honorables, you have the Nine Deaths Immortal Heavenly Skill to protect you, you shouldn't be so easily cut down.

Did you deliberately let that child kill you?"

"Haha, indeed, that child cultivates the Primordial Path, throughout history, those who practice it are either unknown or become the great honorables under heaven.

For our plans to succeed, that child will be of great use someday.

The 'Everlasting Sand of the Past Supreme Holy Scripture' has a Dharma Gate, called the Indra's True Connection Method.

Using it, I see his karmic ties and find that his relationship with the Shenxiao Sect is nearing its end.

He merely hasn't fully repaid the karmic debt with Shenxiao Sect's teachings, still entangled.

Thus, I allowed him to slay me, settling this calamity for the Shenxiao Sect, letting him repay this karma.

And he, in turn, owes me one.

No matter what the future holds.

This karma, he must repay me."

Raising his head slightly, Gao Tianxiong turns his palm, revealing a silken thread of numerous colors woven together, slowly appearing.

One end of the colorful silken thread ties to his wrist, while the other extends into the layered distant void, its destination unknown.

Glancing at the karmic silk thread in Gao Tianxiong's hand, Zhu Shanhe slowly speaks:

"What you did is quite risky; while the Primordial Power is indeed abundant, it's challenging to masterfully control.

The seed you plant today may not bear the fruit you desire tomorrow.

Many ancient scriptures and secrets record.

Beside every practitioner of the Primordial Path, there is a mysterious ancient protector.

Such powerful might that even a record of their name and visage fails.

Don't let your little schemes ruin the grand plan."

"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing; what we're doing now is just what the Dao Alliance wishes.

The Zhao Family acts contrary to fairness, coveting the Dao Alliance's authority; now they greatly displease the Dao Alliance.

Information has surfaced that Zhao Baye openly used Extraterritorial Evil Methods to attack Qinglian True Monarch, only to be cut by a third of his Primordial Spirit with a single strike, almost falling on the spot. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Now, he's forced to flee outside the domain, whereabouts unknown.

Qinglian True Monarch dispatched several Primordial Spirit True Honors to hunt him down, determined to bring him back to the Dao Alliance for strict interrogation and judgment.

The Zhao Family is now on the brink of collapse.

The era belonging to us is imminent."

Clenching his right fist, Gao Tianxiong's eyes blaze with Divine Light, his domineering presence stirs the Sky Dome into numerous immense swirling vortexes, remarkably terrifying.

"Even if the situation is clear, we must not rashly seek merits.

Besides you, me, and Elder Li in our faction, another six great provinces are similarly restless.

Especially Huihuai's Yang Du.

Internal reports suggest that the Xiantian Palace Master Sun Han fell outside the domain, seemingly connected to Yang Du's shadows."

Staring at the rolling tide before him with indifference, Zhu Shanhe's voice is calm, yet what he says deepens Gao Tianxiong's expression.

"Sun Han was an old Primordial Spirit True Honor, though not one of the Dao Alliance's Twelve Members, his five-thousand-year path was equally formidable.

I've heard previously that Sun Han and Yang Du were notably at odds, because Yang Du's County Yamen killed a Xiantian Palace disciple, stirring a big conflict.

Even the Xiantian Palace's disciples openly besieged several Provincial Government buildings under Yang Du.

If not for the Domineering Body Sect's intervention, the matter wouldn't have easily subsided.

But could it be that over such a minor issue, Yang Du would dare strike against Sun Han?"
