Chapter 589: Calculating Both Good and Bad Fortune

Chapter 589: Calculating Both Good and Bad Fortune

Fang Chen listened for a while longer and saw that Qin Nie and Qi Fa had started discussing other matters before he returned to his senses. Although Qin Nie revealed little information this time, it was enough to discern his general scheme.

Many powerful figures in the Azure Dao Manor likely believed that the Immortal Qin Clan and the Langya Clan would go to war, but it would probably be a short conflict, lasting only a few days.

“Lord Fang, have some tea,” Li Daoye said as he poured a cup of tea for Fang Chen.

They were currently in a teahouse, about a hundred paces away from Qin Nie and the others.

Looking at Fang Chen who had finished the cup of tea, Li Daoyi asked with curiosity, “Lord Fang, do you think that Hua Qianchi might be a practitioner of the Spirit Blood Sect?”

Fang Chen smiled. “Why don’t you use the Divination of the Stars Technique to divinate it?”

Li Daoye grew embarrassed. “That would be too consuming. Calculating vague and abstract matters is manageable, but for such precise information, it would take at least fifty years off my lifespan.”

Li Daoye paused. “Lord Fang, do you think there are any other practitioners of the Spirit Blood Sect in the Qin Clan besides Qin Nie? Could Qi Fa also be a practitioner of the Spirit Blood Sect?”

Fang Chen did not answer immediately, only showing Li Daoye a calm look.

Li Daoye’s face showed a wry smile. “Since I’ve seen the methods of the Spirit Blood Sect, I’ve started suspecting everyone of being from the Spirit Blood Sect.”

“As long as one takes the Spirit Blood Pill, they can significantly increase their cultivation and even ignore bottlenecks," Fang Chen said softly. “Such temptation is almost impossible for ordinary cultivators to resist, so your thoughts are correct. It’s possible that Spirit Blood Sect practitioners are indeed widespread.”

Li Daoye gasped. “Is this really manageable? Do the major figures not care about this?”

Fang Chen thought of the Killing Spiritual Division and smiled lightly. “It’s not that they don’t care, but it’s difficult to manage. Firstly, one must be able to distinguish who is a practitioner of the Spirit Blood Sect. Their cultivation methods are varied and cannot be identified through their aura alone, which is a headache even for those major figures.”

Li Daoye seemed thoughtful. “That makes sense...."

At that moment, a shout came from outside.

“Who dares to humiliate a disciple of the Nine Yang Dao Sect in such a way? Come out!”

Over a dozen figures stood in the air. The leader wore a dark-colored Daoist robe. Although his aura was concealed, even those at the Qi Refining Realm and Foundation Building Realms could feel a strong pressure.

“Isn’t that Protector Zhao from the Nine Yang Dao Sect?”

“Protector Zhao has a fiery temper. The Grand Thousand Dao Sect cultivator is in trouble now.”

“I heard that the ancestor of the Grand Thousand Dao Sect is only at the early-stage Golden Core Realm, while Protector Zhao advanced to the late-stage Golden Core Realm a few years ago. He is likely to be a figure at the elder level in the future.”

Seated in the teahouse, Qin Nie looked at the newcomers with a faint smile and said to Qin Xuan and the others, “The Nine Yang Dao Sect has over a hundred protectors. Protector Zhao’s strength isn’t considered top-tier among them, but he alone could easily annihilate the Grand Thousand Dao Sect.”

In the tea house.

“I say... is this guy really from the Grand Thousand Dao Sect? What kind of technique is this?”

Qi Fa looked at Qin Nie with surprise. “Since your Immortal Qin Clan also comes from a Dao sect, you should recognize it, right?”

Qin Nie bore a serious expression. He slowly shook his head.

A member of the Immortal Qin Clan whispered, “Could it be the Binding Immortal Rope? I’ve heard that some top-tier sects have this inheritance.”

“So he is actually this strong...” Qin Xuan murmured to herself.

Protector Zhao, who was in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm, had been bound effortlessly. This technique was at least equivalent to the grand completion stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Could it be that the other party has been concealing their cultivation level from the beginning? Was his cultivation at the Foundation Building Realm just a disguise?

Some, like Qin Xuan, speculated similarly and voiced their guesses. Qin Nie, deep in thought, lightly nodded. “It does seem like he has concealed his cultivation level. I’ve heard that this person holds a high rank in the Grand Thousand Dao Sect, even higher than Pei Qingfeng.”

“Who is Pei Qingfeng?” Qi Fa asked casually.

“Pei Qingfeng is the ancestor of the Grand Thousand Dao Sect, at the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm,” Qin Nie replied.

His gaze shifted back to Protector Zhao and his group, and Fang Chen’s figure surfaced in his mind.

This person is quite unusual.

A Transmission Talisman quietly ignited in his sleeve.

***

Hua Qianchi watched Protector Zhao, who was bound just like him, and remained silent for a long time.

Protector Zhao continued to curse until the golden ropes lashed him harshly on the mouth hundreds of times, after which he dizzily closed his mouth.

Li Daoye, looking through the window at this scene, showed a worried expression, “Lord Fang, you don’t really intend to go against the Nine Yang Dao Sect, do you?”

“The time isn’t ripe yet. To find out their true trump cards, we need to thoroughly provoke them,” Fang Chen replied with a faint smile.

Li Daoye sighed inwardly, fearing that if their trump cards were revealed, it might crush them....

“No, I need to calculate the fortune and misfortune!”

Li Daoye immediately began to use his Divination of the Stars technique.
