Chapter 490 The End of Destiny

One of the six shamanic corpses in the city died.

Pan Nanjun, who was blocking Hai Zhengfeng's way, simply disappeared.

At the same time, Qiong Cangyun Huangliang, who was high in the sky, did not linger in battle. His figure transformed into a blood rainbow and he fled directly.

"Humph!"

Wu Yuanzhen did not chase after them, but took out another rock candy from her bosom and put it in her mouth.

After all, if you can't take down the opponent, there's no point in chasing them; on the contrary, you're very likely to fall into their trap.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master! I shall take my leave now!"

High above the city, the Burning Daoist also knew when to stop and made a quick getaway.

"Give me a lesson, you old hag! You old bastard, don't you dare run away! If I don't beat the shit out of your guts today, I'll consider you clean!"

The nameless girl's honey-smeared lips continued to speak, but she didn't chase after them.

After all, we can't really start a war with the Nine Realms Gate right now, can we?

……

Above the lake, Hai Zhengfeng shifted his gaze from where Pan Nanjun had disappeared to the two senior and junior disciples of the Nine Realms Sect watching the battle from the shore.

Xiang Yuyin and Heizhu bowed from afar: "Xiang Yuyin (Heizhu) of the Nine Realms Gate greets the Lord of Penglai!"

Although Hai Zhengfeng knew in his heart that the Nine Realms Sect was definitely related to Pan Nanjun.

However, there is no evidence.

The Nine Realms Gate, with over a dozen supreme beings possessing great supernatural powers, is now a veritable hegemon in the world of supernatural abilities.

Even if Penglai has a strong financial foundation and possesses a powerful longevity-enhancing material to suppress its fortune, it is not afraid of the Nine Realms Gate.

But to rashly kill or detain the two personal disciples of the Nine Realms Sect Master based solely on speculation...

The losses from the war between the two factions were also something Hai Zhengfeng could not afford.

Therefore, he chose to ignore it.

He didn't even go to see his son; he simply vanished from everyone's sight in a flash.

The very next second after he left, Pan Nanjun's figure reappeared on the lakeside like a ghost. He looked at Xiang Yuyin and Hei Zhu, a meaningful smile curving his lips.

"really……"

Pan Nanjun murmured to himself.

Even if there are various reasons to explain it.

In his view, what truly prompted Hai Zhengfeng to spare the two senior and junior siblings at the last moment was the arrangement of the law of cause and effect in the dark.

Human beings, especially those with great supernatural powers, often act on a whim without much explanation.

Kill, just kill.

But when a matter is caught between "killing" and "not killing," fate plays a role behind the scenes.

If it doesn't want you to kill, it can make you find a thousand reasons to convince yourself; if it wants you to kill, it can also present you with a thousand irresistible motives.

At this moment, cause and effect are clearly on the side of Xiang Yuyin and Hei Zhu, who are destined to live into the 'future'.

A divine thought transmission quietly sounded in his ear; it was the voice of the Burning Daoist:

"Lord Pan, the battle just now has made all the mortals in Dongting City aware of the existence of 'Law'. Our people have also taken advantage of the chaos to successfully spread the seeds of 'precognitive dreams'."

Pan Nanjun nodded slightly and calmly transmitted his divine thoughts back:
"I understand, you did a great job."

The exposure of the seven-man squad of corpses in the city was an unplanned and unexpected situation.

But this is the difference between the wise and the mediocre.

When unexpected events occur in a game of cards, mediocre players will panic, while wise players will consider how to steer these unexpected variables in a direction that is more advantageous to themselves.

That's how it was in this game.

The purpose of the "demon corpse" was to spread "precognitive dreams".

Now, although he lost six medium-level supernatural powers, he also attracted a lot of attention from those seeking the Dharma, allowing him to use another power to successfully spread the precognitive dream.

Although an additional hundred or so people were mobilized, the strategic objectives were successfully achieved.

The great supernatural being, Huang Liang, also escaped unscathed.

He can afford to lose just six medium-level supernatural corpses.

However, even in their final moments, these six people kept their mission firmly in mind and, following the cause and effect, infected the more than forty seekers of the Dharma who participated in the encirclement with their precognitive dreams.

Such loyalty deserves commendation.

If the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries truly succeeds in descending in the future, they may still have a chance to be reborn and return.

"This time, in the battle of cause and effect... does Lord Pan have any plans?" Burning Daoist transmitted his voice again, with a hint of barely concealed greed.

The powerful cultivators of the Nine Realms Gate were almost all concentrated in another place, the main battlefield of this war of cause and effect.

The abbot of Penglai and the lord of Yingzhou, and even most of the great supernatural seekers in the world, are restraining each other there.

"The outcome this time is not important. Just preserve your strength and minimize casualties," Pan Nanjun replied casually.

His gaze remained fixed on Dongting City below, as if something there held more appeal for him than a great battle that would determine the 'future'.

"Understood." Burning Daoist quickly cut off the transmission, but his heart was burning with excitement.

Since Pan Nanjun made no arrangements, the fruits of victory in this battle of cause and effect belong to his Nine Realms Sect.

There's no other meaning here. There were a little over a hundred powerful seekers of the Dharma this time, and the Nine Realms Gate alone occupied twenty seats!

As for Pan Nanjun's statement about "preserving strength"?
There are many things that, when said from above, will not necessarily be implemented below, especially when there are huge interests at stake.

Pan Nanjun ignored Burning Daoist's ulterior motives.

This battle of cause and effect is merely a factor; now that the seed has been sown, his first strategic objective has been achieved.

Next up is another one.

On the other side, on a bustling street, Gao Haoguang and his two companions were strolling leisurely with Ergua, looking for a place to eat.

Upon learning that this twelve-year-old child had no relatives left in the world, they could not bear to watch her leave alone.

It should be noted that this is one of the darkest moments in Chinese history.

In turbulent times, human life is as worthless as grass.

Such a lonely and helpless child, wandering alone, would almost certainly be abducted by human traffickers and meet a tragic end.

Gao Haoguang, who was abducted at the age of two and nearly slaughtered as a "pig" to sell for meat, has a deep understanding of this.

And this is one of the reasons why he was determined to change the world.

As he walked, Gao Haoguang's peripheral vision inadvertently swept over a rather deserted-looking teahouse on the street corner.

A job posting was displayed on the doorpost of the teahouse.

He stopped and pointed to the unassuming shop:

Let's eat at this restaurant.

Hai Shan missed the restaurant where he had lunch, but after scanning the job posting, he realized what Gao Haoguang was up to and did not refuse.

The four of them stepped into the teahouse.

A faint smell of dust mixed with the stench of decay wafted towards us.

The restaurant was dimly lit, and there were no other diners besides them.

A bald shopkeeper with a mustache was dozing off on the counter when he heard the noise and immediately came over to greet him warmly.

"Gentlemen, would you like some tea or a meal?"

"Bring a table of your signature dishes." Gao Haoguang's gaze swept around the restaurant.

There were indeed no other staff members in the shop, no wonder they needed to hire someone.

"okay!"

The shopkeeper readily agreed and then turned and went into the kitchen.

It was past lunchtime, and the restaurant was already quite deserted; apart from their table, there were no other diners.

"This shopkeeper seems to be a seeker of the Dharma as well."

Hai Shan pouted and whispered:

"Perhaps we can try to find out some information about 'precognitive dreams' from him. Although the corpses in the city have been found, it doesn't mean that this war of cause and effect won't break out."

"You handle the negotiations."

Gao Haoguang nodded.

He then took out yellow paper and a cinnabar pen from his bosom and began to copy the [Three True Soul Charm] passed down by Mo Yu, which could directly retrieve the memories of the soul, relying on his memory.

Compared to asking unrelated people, it is more accurate to extract the answer directly from the mind of the captured corpse.

Hu Dasheng, on the other side, gently teased Ergua, trying to help her recover a little from the grief of losing her loved ones.

Having been the leader and head of the kids since childhood, she was quite talented in this area, and quickly made Ergua's bitter face relax a bit.

The food was served one after another, but the taste was only so-so. There's a reason why no one patronizes this shabby restaurant.

However, the bald shopkeeper was quite kind.

Under Hai Shan's "gold coin offensive," the bald shopkeeper quickly opened up and embellished all the rumors he knew about "precognitive dreams."

He spoke with great enthusiasm, his spittle flying everywhere.

The three listened attentively.

No one noticed that the Three Truths in the Same Month Order had been quietly activated, including Gao Haoguang, the master of the Order.

Through the perspective of the same month, Mo Yu looked at the dimly lit teahouse and the bald innkeeper who was warmly welcoming Gao Haoguang and his party, and sighed inwardly:
Oh, the binding force of fate!

"I already told you to use your supernatural powers more often..."

A golden light flashed in Mo Yushen's usually reserved eyes.

Sure enough, under the golden light, the "selfless Dharma image" parasitizing in the bald shopkeeper's mind was clearly visible.

The teahouse owner was ultimately possessed by Pan Nanjun and became a human puppet.

Mo Yu shook his head:

"If you had just used the [Pre-Search Body in the Fake World] to look at him even once, you wouldn't have been fooled by him..."
