Destiny is ashes

Chapter 20: Heaven's Will Demon Cult
Most children couldn't see this, but An Jing saw it clearly.

Xuanming Manor often hunts ferocious beasts, and even apprentices like them can get beast meat as a snack. Compared with ordinary hunting teams, they must have special skills.

A set of battle formations against ferocious beasts should be the basis.

However, with An Jing's martial arts skills, he could vaguely see that this battle formation was not only aimed at ferocious beasts... but also at some larger and more ferocious monsters.

Moreover, this battle formation was also aimed at the ferocious beasts that were "trapped in one place". But logically speaking, they should also target the ferocious beasts that "raided suddenly".

Could it be that Xuanming Manor has some means to lure the ferocious beast into the trap?

I don’t understand it, but it’s always right to practice.

An Jing is now full of doubts. He has prepared everything and is just waiting for a cloudy night.

An Jing didn't have to wait too long for this day.

Time is unknown in the mountains, but the seasons are obvious. The weather has been getting hotter recently, and it is obviously gradually approaching summer. As the long wind blows, thick clouds begin to cover the sky and the earth.

Looking at the distant mountains, the outlines of the inky black clouds surged and expanded with the wind, like living things, emitting a chilling and heavy sense of oppression.

Storm is coming.

"That's it for today."

Even the instructor of Xuanming Manor would not let people train under such circumstances. He asked the boys and girls to disperse and return to their dormitories to wait.

"Ye Qi, A Cang, the two of you wait a moment."

When the group was dismissed, An Jing signaled his two best friends to stay. Gu Yeqi naturally agreed happily. Cang Linzu was also quite curious, but when he thought of a certain possibility, he couldn't help but shuddered: "Wait, Brother Jing, you're not going to let us practice martial arts in the rain, are you?"

"Although it is indeed useful, I am afraid that the cold air will enter my body..."

"Do I look so scary?" An Jing blinked in confusion: "Are you guys thinking too badly of me? I take good care of my brothers and sisters."

He completely forgot about the leg training day he had arranged for his team, which made the other eight members so miserable that they wanted to say they had stomachaches when they heard about leg training day. Gu Yeqi and Cang Linzu, as his deputies, had to often accompany him for extra training.

The young man said seriously: "You misunderstood, I just have something to explain to you."

As he said this, An Jing handed the two booklets to the other party: "This is my experience with Linyuan Yangqi Zhuang and Guanjia Zhenjin. Some of them...you also know where the martial arts came from."

Amid the surprised looks of the two, An Jing looked quite serious: "The owner of the manor told me not to tell anyone else, and I don't want to violate the rules of the manor, but you can probably tell, right? The battle formation that the manor wants us to learn... our entry test may be to hunt ferocious beasts."

"Well...indeed." Gu Yeqi nodded slightly in agreement. Everyone had been with Zhang Ying for a long time, so they naturally knew how terrifying the ferocious beast was.

After hesitating for a while, Cang Linzu said, "I think it might not be an ordinary beast - the thing the battle formation is dealing with must be very large, or very dangerous."

"Perhaps, it is a ferocious beast with evil bloodline."

"Well, that's exactly what I'm worried about." An Jing did not deny this speculation: "No matter what, this is very dangerous."

"To be honest, I really don't want you to die, so even if it means violating the rules, I will pass on my experience to you."

"Wait." Gu Yeqi frowned after noticing something: "Brother An, are you... going to do something dangerous?"

Cang Linzu was not as perceptive as Gu Yeqi, but he realized when he heard this. An Jing's attitude was obviously about explaining his affairs after his death - no, it was not to this extent, but An Jing's worry could be heard: "Is there anything we can help with?"

"If you can become stronger and protect yourselves, it will be a great help to me."

An Jing sighed. If the two hadn't been slow in their practice of the Armor-piercing True Energy, he would have passed on his experience to them long ago. If their level was not high enough, learning his techniques would only hurt them. "People I know are leaving one by one. I don't want you two to leave suddenly one day."

He patted their shoulders and said, "Try your best."

Boom.

A dazzling flash of lightning fell from the distant sky to the mountain, connecting the sky and the earth, making the whole world pale. Heavy rain fell.

The two looked at An Jing and nodded silently.

time flies.

late at night.

In the dark dormitory, a flash of lightning appeared, and then the light disappeared, leaving only a pair of open eyes in the darkness.

An Jing stood up and changed into a set of prepared clothes. He piled up his original clothes and placed them in the quilt to form a rough human shape.

With his strength, he could easily shake the wet clothes dry, but to be on the safe side, it would be better to change into another one for exploring.

He left the dormitory quietly. The heavy rain covered his footsteps. The dark clouds obscured the stars and the moon, hiding his figure. An Jing ran past the medicine pavilion at the fastest speed and headed towards Dongshan Farm.

Medicine cabinet.

The owner of the medicine manor, or, the deputy medicine envoy.

The white-haired old man narrowed his eyes, and the faint green flames in his eyes shrank, allowing him to clearly see a red, bloody shadow leaving the dormitory and heading towards Dongshan Farm.

"Hehe..." He whispered to himself in a gentle tone: "It is indeed as the Northern Envoy said. The smarter the child, the more he likes to explore secrets."

"Good thing!"

He smiled heartily: "Those who follow the rules are the inferior."

"Only those who can break through the awe of 'dignity' and 'rules', 'gods' and 'life and death', and even 'God's will' and 'fate' in their hearts, and find the answers they want by themselves, can be considered as members of my 'God's Will Religion'!"

"An Jing... are you the 'Starry Sky Official' or the 'Devil Gods'? The 'Mysterious Yin Goddess' is impossible, but if it's the 'Seven Evils...'"

Shaking his head slightly, the Deputy Medicine Envoy of the Tianyi Divine Sect seemed to think that his guess was too outrageous, so he kept silent.

But he still looked in An Jing's direction, turned his head with a smile, and sat back in his chair.

After checking the time, the old man picked up an hourglass, turned it upside down, and started counting time.

The deputy medicine envoy took a sip of tea, the green fire in his eyes flickered: "Let's set a time - we can't let him wander around and make too much trouble."

"But, I'm really curious about how he felt when he discovered the truth."

at the same time.

[You have been discovered]

A mysterious and clear voice sounded, but An Jing, who was running in the night, was not surprised: "I know. Thank you for your help last time, but this time I know very well that the owner of the medicine manor has discovered me."

【oh? 】

The voice was surprised to see An Jing respond so calmly: [Not bad, you are indeed wise. In that case, how do you plan to respond? ]

"If I'm not wrong."

An Jing did not answer the mysterious voice's question immediately, but said to himself: "The entire Xuanming Manor should belong to the famous sect 'Zuntian Shenyi Sect' that is famous in the northwest, which is also known as the 'Tianyi Shenjiao' in the eyes of the world."

"And the Divine Will Religion has another well-known nickname."

"The Devil Cult of Heaven's Will."
