Chu Huaixu couldn’t immediately heal Zhong Ming, but from thousands of miles away, he seemed to have driven another person insane.

Ming Xuanji’s facial expression started to become distorted, losing the previous composure he had.

He had very little life span left.

Spending three years of life to use Curse Killing on Chu Huaixu was to reestablish order.

As Cheng Yuyan mentioned, his remaining lifespan likely wouldn’t allow him to see that so-called predetermined “endgame”!

But Ming Xuanji did not care.

He believed what he had divined was correct.

Moreover, he also believed in what the Dao Ancestor had divined a thousand years ago!

The old man may not be completely correct, and the Dao Ancestor has already passed away for a millennium, so blind belief is not entirely warranted.

——But combining the old man’s and Dao Ancestor’s insights, it must be correct!

If what he divined matches what I divined, with our dual confirmation, how could it be wrong?

——Authority!

A path to save the world has already been laid out in front of us.

Why don’t you walk it!

As the State Preceptor of Moon Country, this is my destiny, my inevitable responsibility!

A few years of life span—when it’s time to sacrifice, one should sacrifice!

In fact, through divination, Ming Xuanji sometimes thought to himself: “Perhaps, this is also part of what the Dao Ancestor divined a millennium ago.”

“The Dao Ancestor had long since calculated my existence.”

“And calculated what I would do.”

“Unsurprisingly, I was already involved in the game a thousand years ago!”

Every time he thought of this, his heart would surge with waves, feeling a heroic connection with the Dao Ancestor, as if they were kindred spirits!

For my Moon Country, for the people of the world, the task of restoring order is imperative!

But why has this situation arisen?

“The birth date and eight characters of Huo Dingyi stored within the organization cannot be wrong!”

“I’ve divined it once; this birth date and eight characters are correct!”

“But why has it come to this!”

“Why!!” Ming Xuanji was like one possessed.

And in fact, does the so-called Huo Dingyi still even exist in this world?

Since Huo Dingyi’s soul has long since scattered, then, whom does your Curse Killing Technique intend to kill?

Everything was just as Chu Huaixu expressed to the Heir of Prince Rui that day.

“I am not the Huo Dingyi of Moon Country; I am Chu Huaixu of the Daoist Sect.”

Cheng Yuyan, looking at the old man, couldn’t help but say, “Elder Ming, why don’t you sit down for a bit and take an elixir to heal your wounds?”

He saw that Ming Xuanji’s hollow eyes had begun to bleed from the corners.

“Why must you do this!” Cheng Yuyan thought to himself.

This Ninth Realm Great Cultivator, who prided himself on being a scholar, never really liked those who were skilled in divination.

Because they always felt as though they were… executing the will of the heavens!

As if they were bearing the mandate of heaven!

“Little do they know, human strength is sometimes limited.”

“Heaven is heaven; humans are humans.”

Even though Cheng Yuyan had refined a wisp of the Power of Origin, he still thought this way.

To perform heavenly duties using a mortal body?

“Is this not a form of overstepping!” Cheng Yuyan loudly spoke in his heart.

….

….

Junzi Temple, within the small courtyard.

The discomfort that haunted Chu Huaixu has long since vanished completely.

Yet, in his heart, he remained cautious.

Jiang Zhi frowned, pondering for a long time, and offered a possibility.

“The bizarre methods just now resembled those of a certain person.”

“And the likelihood of that person taking action against you is high.”

“I just don’t know why they would move against you at this moment, and how they could act from thousands of miles away,” Jiang Zhi said.

“Junior Martial Uncle, who is the person you speak of?” asked Chu Huaixu.

“There are two state preceptors, a male and a female, in Moon Country. This person’s name is Ming Xuanji, the old State Preceptor of Moon Country.”

“Besides that, he is also the mentor to that little girl you planted a Spirit Seed in.”

“This person is proficient in divination and always feels he can execute the duties of heaven.”

“You are a Variable, and perhaps even transcending the scope of the Daoist Ancestor’s Proverbs.”

“Perhaps in his eyes, it is the same.”

“Although it’s not completely certain that he was the one behind the recent events.”

“However, if you encounter him in the future, be very cautious,” Jiang Zhi advised.

Chu Huaixu listened and nodded seriously.

Then he solemnly asked, “Junior Martial Uncle, could you simply help me kill him?”

Jiang Zhi: “???”

How did this come so suddenly?

“Junior Martial Uncle, see, that old thief nearly ruined our great endeavor!” Chu Huaixu continued.

If it truly was this Ming Xuanji, Chu Huaixu genuinely wanted him dead!

The feeling just now was awful.

If someone truly could act against him from thousands of miles away….

——If he doesn’t die, I will have no peace!

Of course, he was just speaking casually.

After all, the other party is a State Preceptor of Moon Country, and killing him would involve too many complications.

Yet Jiang Zhi, being an unparalleled killer, after glancing at his sleeping fifth older martial brother, genuinely began considering its feasibility.

“If it were within Moon Country, he would be hard to kill,” Jiang Zhi said.

“Being the State Preceptor, he is imbued with the fortune of the nation.”

“If he resides in the Imperial Capital, it would be even harder.”

“Although he is only at the Eighth Realm, if the battle takes place in a special location like the Imperial Capital, even I might not harm him in the slightest.”

Chu Huaixu nodded upon hearing this.

Yet in his heart, he still harbored some uneasiness.

It was the first time he felt this way since crossing over into this world.

Extremely unsettled.

“But clearly in ‘Borrowed Sword,’ as Lin Zixuan’s mentor, the State Preceptor of Moon Country, he is portrayed as a righteous character on the storyline.”

Chu Huaixu felt somewhat puzzled in his heart.

At this moment, Jiang Zhi glanced one last time at his fifth brother and said, “Forget it, let’s head back for today and let the fifth brother have a good rest.”

“Chu Huaixu, if you have time in the future, you should come here more often and try a few more times.” He instructed.

“Understood, disciple understands.” Chu Huaixu agreed.

He naturally didn’t mind going to rescue Zhong Ming.

If he could truly accomplish this, he would have another great Ninth Realm expert at his back!

….

….

After Chu Huaixu and Jiang Zhi exited the house, Xiang Yan and others immediately surrounded them.

“How did it go?” Everyone asked.

“He fell asleep, much more peacefully than usual,” Jiang Zhi answered with a smile.

“That’s good! That’s good!” The atmosphere instantly became lively.

Nobody expected Chu Huaixu to cure the insane Zhong Ming immediately, but any improvement was better than none, as it at least brought hope.

Never underestimate the word ‘hope.’

Many people continue to live because of these two characters.

Having hope in life is a blessing.

Furthermore, Jiang Zhi also mentioned Chu Huaixu’s fleeting unusual situation to them.

Xiang Yan and others discussed it and checked with their Divine Sense, all agreeing that Ming Xuanji was very suspicious.

Because he was a representative figure of such bizarre techniques.

Moreover, there was a faint death aura remaining in Chu Huaixu’s body.

This increased the suspicion towards Ming Xuanji, who was skilled in such matters.

After chatting for a bit, Chu Huaixu suddenly remembered something.

“Sect Leader, Junior Martial Uncle, and all the Elders.”

“Disciple has a request,” he said.

“What is it?” Xiang Yan asked gently.

“Disciple would like to retrieve some items from Ye Kongxuan’s Storage Pouch to learn more about the cultivators of Kunlun Cave Heaven,” he said.

“Which aspect do you wish to understand?” Nangong Yue asked.

These items were currently under her and the Second Elder’s custody.

While the cultivation systems of the two worlds differed, their Artifact Refining Dao and Alchemy Dao could certainly be studied mutually.

The Techniques and Cultivation Techniques, however, were unfruitful subjects of study, as one relied on the Spiritual Embryo and the other on the Spirit Root—each party lacked the other’s cultivation foundation.

Nonetheless, Chu Huaixu said, “Disciple wishes to learn about the Cultivation Techniques and Techniques of Kunlun Cave Heaven.”

Everyone exchanged glances.

But since these were his spoils of war, they were merely on loan, so they couldn’t say much.

Xiang Yan and others merely reminded him, “Just look, do not attempt them.”

“Even with Techniques, it’s not allowed.”

“Because to this day, whoever has tried, has invariably Fallen into Demon!”
