Chapter 274: Chapter 168: All Must Die

The Hongtian squad pursued the traces of Master Duobao, flying east several hundred miles in one breath, yet unexpectedly discovered Master He in the corner, appearing insane.

From afar, they saw Master He incessantly shaking the turtle shell, divining over and over.

And each time, as if unable to believe it, shook it again.

“Master He?” The group flew close to him.

“Death, everyone will die, you all will die…” On seeing the group, Master He looked panic-stricken and hastily distanced himself from them.

Only then did they notice that Master He was bleeding from his seven orifices, his eyes a blood-red hue.

A quick probe revealed that his Sea of Consciousness was in chaos.

“Master He, what happened?” The yellow-faced female cultivator rushed forward to ask.

But Master He avoided her like the plague, dodging once more.

Then suddenly he spotted Master Huangshi behind the group.

To everyone’s astonishment, Master He seemed to burst forth with his greatest potential, moving swiftly to Master Huangshi’s side.

“Master Huang, you will not die, only you will not die… No, no, it’s that I cannot divine your fate, so you certainly won’t die like them. I beg you to take me along…” Master He pleaded incoherently.

“Master He’s Sea of Consciousness is injured, but it’s caused by no external force. Judging by the situation, it should be a recoil into his Divine Soul during divination,” Nie Jinghong had already retracted his Divine Sense, speaking solemnly.

“Master Huangshi? Even Master He’s divination could not ascertain your fate, and it even rebounded?” Someone looked at Master Huangshi in surprise.

Within Guzhu City, Li Jizhou slightly frowned, initially intending to let the puppet quietly leave and rendezvous with the Ghost Shadow Puppet in the medicine garden.

At this moment, however, he was unexpectedly entangled by Master He.

And regarding Master He’s situation, he merely sighed helplessly. Back when the Commerce Alliance hired a High-Tier Divination Master who could not unravel his causality, let alone the inexpert Master He.

The recoil was mild, only injuring the Sea of Consciousness.

It was likely because it was merely a substitute puppet.

If it foolishly divined the true Li Jizhou, it would likely be dead many times over.

“I, Huang, was lucky enough to acquire an unusual item that shields against the divinations of fate, of little other use, though can only suppress divination,” Master Huangshi said casually.

The audience heard and no longer dwelled on him, instead starting to ponder Master He’s words.

“Before each departure, Master He would divine the treasure’s location to judge if they had opportunity.

Personal divinations of fortune and misfortune consume his True Core’s essence, so he does not perform them except in dangerous places.

Also, he cannot divine his misfortune.

Given his recent words, it seems our fates this time are grim,” Nie Jinghong frowned as he explained to Master Huangshi.

The others already understood this, with his recent words echoing in their ears like a curse.

“We’re all going to die?”

“With Master He’s recent words, he likely has divined everyone in our squad. Except for Master Huangshi, who shielded the secrets of heaven, our fates are doomed!”

“It seems our fates are tied to Master Huaiyu and An Ruoxi!”

“Since that’s the case, let’s strike first!”

“We’re no match for An Ruoxi!”

…

As discussions continued, Nie Jinghong once more spoke solemnly, “Let’s find the captain first, and think of a way out!”

Helpless, they could only comply.

Then they set off once more.

Yet Master He refused to travel with others, only following Master Huangshi.

Li Jizhou continually switched between Master Huangshi and Ghost Shadow Puppet’s perspectives, growing anxious.

In the next moment, Li Jizhou hesitated no longer, in front of six hundred years of life span, everything else was clouds; even giving up Master Huangshi’s identity didn’t matter.

“Everyone, I do not believe in fate, unwilling to waste the opportunity here, forgive my inability to travel with you, farewell!”

“Master Huang, Master He’s divination within this range, its accuracy tested, don’t deceive yourself!”

“With your strength alone, you’re no match for Guzhu City disciples; in current circumstances, only unity may offer a chance to defy fate!”

“The captain has not been seen; it’s uncertain what crisis they encountered in the Central Palace, it’s better to decide after seeing the captain!”

Some people were drawn to the opportunity here but grew impatient as Nie Jinghong urged them to find other team members; yet after Master He’s words, they stubbornly ceased.

“Our paths separate, I bid farewell!” Without hesitation, Master Huangshi activated a teleportation talisman, arriving near the medicine garden.

An Ruoxi’s disciple Baiyun Zhenren, at the Middle Stage of Core Formation, had been guarding outside the array without particular tension.

At this moment, four of the last remaining thirteen frozen ancient beings within the array had exceeded their unsealing time, gradually decaying and dissipating.

Master Huangshi quietly approached the place where Golden Flood Dragon True Man had just fallen, absorbing his blood and qi.

Before long, Master Huangshi transformed on the spot, becoming Golden Flood Dragon True Man.

Ghost Shadow had just been monitoring An Ruoxi and Baiyun Zhenren; Master Shuimo hurriedly entered, not mentioning the matter of Golden Flood Dragon True Man, presenting Li Jizhou a chance.

“Senior Brother Golden Flood Dragon?” Li Jizhou controlled the puppet openly arriving at the array’s gap, startling Baiyun Zhenren.

“Junior Sister Xiaoyun, where are young master and others?”

“Martial Brother Liu Huo’s soul tablet shattered; Mistress and Martial Brother Shuimo both went in!” Baiyun Zhenren meticulously sensed Senior Brother Golden Flood Dragon, revealing without concealing it.

Golden Flood Dragon True Man’s duty was to guard the perimeter; the moment he fell, An Ruoxi and Baiyun Zhenren had already entered the array.
