Ascending to Godhood: I Can Foresee All Futures

Chapter 322: Chapter 181: Intercepting and Killing a Profound Mastery Expert

When Chen Sheng and Sun Yuzhi returned to the Jingwu Bureau, the confrontation there seemed to be over. Only the widespread wreckage remained, a testament to the brutal battle that had just taken place.

Numerous Jingwu Guards were currently cleaning up the battlefield.

Only after Sun Yuzhi made some inquiries did she learn the full details of the situation.

Just as Governor Nie Xuanfeng had predicted, the Cyan Flood Dragon Alliance had indeed made their move. They planned to use the perfect opportunity presented by the battle on Wushan Mountain to rescue Zhou Chengzong from the Jingwu Bureau.

However, the Jingwu Bureau had long been prepared and would naturally not let such a golden opportunity slip by.

Nie Xuanfeng had invited two Vice Envoys of the Mystic Realm from the Jingwu Bureau of a neighboring prefecture. Together, they laid an inescapable trap, preparing to wipe out the Cyan Flood Dragon Alliance in one fell swoop.

But the Cyan Flood Dragon Alliance’s Leader, Zhou Kuohai, was no ordinary man.

Upon sensing that something was wrong, he chose to flee immediately, with almost no hesitation.

In the great battle that followed, the Jingwu Bureau executed a Vice Alliance Leader of the Cyan Flood Dragon Alliance who was in the Mystic Realm. The Alliance also lost more than ten of its Innate Realm elders. Now, Nie Xuanfeng himself had personally gone to hunt down Zhou Kuohai.

He had yet to return.

But without a doubt, this battle was a major victory for the Jingwu Bureau.

The Cyan Flood Dragon Alliance, a group of water bandits that had plagued Ning’an Prefecture for years, had suffered a devastating blow.

Even if they failed to kill the Cyan Flood Dragon Alliance Leader, Zhou Kuohai, it was still a great victory.

Upon learning the news, Sun Yuzhi sighed in secret relief. She had known all about the ambush, but had actively requested the mission to Wushan Mountain because she was worried about Chen Sheng.

And if the Jingwu Bureau had suffered a major defeat this time, she, as a Vice Governor, would not have been able to escape responsibility.

’Thankfully, the Jingwu Bureau won a great victory in the end.’

’They seized the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Cyan Flood Dragon Alliance.’

’If Governor Nie Xuanfeng can execute the Alliance Leader, Zhou Kuohai, it will mean a total victory over these water bandits who have been a scourge for so many years.’

”Since the battle is over, you should go rest. I need to go out for a bit.”

Sun Yuzhi said suddenly after informing Chen Sheng of the situation.

”Where are you going, Vice Governor?”

A thought stirred in Chen Sheng’s mind.

”The Danxia Sect!”

Sun Yuzhi didn’t hide it, telling Chen Sheng the truth.

She and the Danxia Sect’s Leader, Bai Qing, had been friends for many years and shared a deep bond. As expected, the Danxia Sect should have also been attacked by the Blood River Sect.

Although Chen Sheng had warned Bai Qing in advance, allowing her to prepare, she was still a little worried and needed to go see for herself.

”I would like to accompany you, Vice Governor.”

Chen Sheng said suddenly.

”Why?”

Sun Yuzhi frowned, a little confused.

The Danxia Sect and Chen Sheng owed each other nothing. In fact, if one were to be precise, it was the Danxia Sect that owed Chen Sheng a favor. So why was he suddenly so concerned about them?

’Could it be he’s really taken a liking to that woman, Bai Qing?’

”I’m worried about you.”

Chen Sheng said, looking at Sun Yuzhi earnestly.

Sun Yuzhi naturally didn’t believe this reason. With her level of cultivation and strength, the number of people in Ning’an Prefecture who could threaten her could be counted on one hand.

But she stared at Chen Sheng for several breaths, and seeing his serious attitude, she nodded after a moment of contemplation.

”Let’s go.”

”Alright.”

.....

Chen Sheng insisted on going with Sun Yuzhi to the Danxia Sect, but not because he was genuinely worried about her safety. An expert at the middle stage of the Mystic Realm was not someone a late-stage Innate Realm Martial Master like him needed to worry about.

His true objective was the Fourth Elder of the Blood River Sect.

Because just a moment ago, the Celestial Book of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil had suddenly trembled and given him a new hint.

[My name is Chen Sheng. By the time you read this, I am filled with regret. Because of my advance warning, the Danxia Sect made thorough preparations, even inviting two Mystic Realm experts in advance to hold the line. In the great battle that followed, the Blood River Sect suffered disastrous losses, and their Fourth Elder was severely wounded... However, what I didn’t know was that this presented a perfect opportunity to eliminate him and obtain the Profound Flame Order. If I missed it, getting the Profound Flame Order again would be as difficult as ascending to heaven... Unfortunately, I was unaware of this. Every time I thought about it afterward, I was filled with endless regret...]

Chen Sheng currently possessed two Profound Flame Orders. As long as he could obtain this final one, he would be able to find the Profound Flame Daoist’s grotto-mansion and receive his inheritance and treasures.

Whether it was the Daoist Sect’s Profound Skill or the Profound Spirit Yin Fire, Chen Sheng coveted them all greatly.

But if he missed this chance, once the Blood River Sect Master arrived in Ning’an Prefecture, the Profound Flame Order would fall into his hands. At that point, Chen Sheng would have no other opportunity to get the last Profound Flame Order anytime soon.

If he could intercept and kill the Blood River Sect’s Fourth Elder now, it would be the best opportunity he’d have for a long time. Of course, Chen Sheng wasn’t going to miss it!

He just saw no need to mention any of this to Sun Yuzhi.

Because she was worried about Bai Qing, Sun Yuzhi moved very quickly this time. She didn’t even flirt with Chen Sheng on the way, simply leading him as they sped toward the Danxia Sect.

When Chen Sheng and Sun Yuzhi arrived, the great battle there had also basically come to an end. Having just experienced a battle between Mystic Realm experts, Qixia Mountain was now undoubtedly in a state of disrepair compared to before.

Ruined walls and broken ramparts were everywhere. Although the bodies on the ground had already been dragged away, the air was still thick with the lingering, heavy stench of blood.

When the Danxia Sect’s Leader, Bai Qing, learned that Chen Sheng and Sun Yuzhi had arrived, she hurried over to greet them. The moment she saw Chen Sheng, she sighed with emotion.

”Captain Chen, if not for your advance warning, I’m afraid the Danxia Sect would have faced annihilation today.”

The Danxia Sect had not taken Chen Sheng’s warning about a possible attack from the Blood River Sect lightly. They had made thorough preparations, calling in favors to invite two Mystic Realm experts from a neighboring prefecture to assist them.
