All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes

Chapter 197: Chapter 57: The Daughter of King Jing

Granny Huai, who had been released, wasn’t annoyed either. She just shook her head slightly and said, "Child, I know you want me to live, but for me, helping people like you is the meaning of my life."

It was evident that in order to heal You Ruhui, Granny Huai’s face had aged considerably.

The elderly woman turned her head to look at the growing snowflakes outside the window and said slowly, "You want revenge, don’t you? No matter who you want to take revenge on, you shouldn’t die here."

"Ruohui, I can tell, you have a lot of things to be busy with next. You don’t have time to be injured."

You Ruhui bit her lower lip tightly. Her expression was incredibly complex, and after a long hesitation, she clenched her fists and said, "Granny Huai! You, you’ve been brainwashed by the Heaven’s Will Cult!"

"Fate Pattern Soul-Reviving Skills can accumulate ’Qi’ by helping others and being helped, thereby allowing oneself to live a long life, turning misfortune into good fortune. The way to use it is definitely not like this – treating oneself as a container, constantly giving and continuously receiving!"

"All cultivation is for self-achievement, and the Fate Pattern is the same. But you are using yourself as a tool!"

"It must be what the Heaven’s Will Cult demands, right? Those bad people... they surely have ill intentions!"

As she said this, the girl thought of something and suddenly realized, she said urgently, "Granny, the Heaven’s Will Cult is planning to raise you as a vessel... raise you into a living, useful ’fated weapon’!"

"They let you nurture life here, help people here, all to let you offer your accumulated Qi at a crucial moment to save a key person!"

"Don’t be fooled by them!"

You Ruhui spoke earnestly, every word was true.

From the beginning, she had seen that Granny Huai’s Fate Pattern was "Soul-Reviving Skills," a rare life-fortune pattern.

This pattern starts with great misfortune, but if saved from death by a noble person, it will turn bad luck into good and even possess many Divine Abnormalities.

Whether by helping others or being helped, the power of the Fate Pattern accumulates, and this power is almost like Mysterious Primordial Qi, which can be used for cultivation, extending life, and can also be used to continue helping others, benefiting the community.Granny Huai’s current condition was very wrong. She had encountered death and was now almost a half-dead person, but she had been rescued by a noble person, her Fate Pattern awakened, completing the tribulation of Soul-Reviving Skills.

With You Ruhui’s background, she knew many secrets that would be classified to the Embracing the Void. For example, she knew that everyone with a Fate Pattern must face tribulations.

Only by overcoming tribulations can one awaken their Fate Pattern, and only by overcoming great death tribulations can the Fate Pattern advance!

And these tribulations might be battles and struggles, questioning of the Heart Soul, decisions of will, or finding a career that one can persevere in throughout life – everyone has a Fate Pattern, but few can overcome the tribulations, much like how everyone knows that hard work and reflection are necessary to succeed, yet very few truly become outstanding people.

However, the Heaven’s Will Cult excels in creating tribulations to derive Fate Patterns! Granny Huai must have been harmed by the Heaven’s Will Cult which is why she became like this!

"You are wrong, Ruohui."

But Granny Huai wasn’t upset or annoyed. She shook her head slowly and showed no emotional fluctuations despite You Ruhui discovering her connection to the Heaven’s Will Cult. She said, "The Divine Sect is indeed harsh... but if those cruel methods are used on me, I am willing."

Raising her head, her gaze seemed distant, as if she was looking into the past, "Back then... I was a little younger than you. Also in such winter."

"At that time, I found an Unmelting Flower on a wild cliff, a unique Spiritual Object of the Northern Border. It looked like an Ice Crystal Flower from heaven had fallen to earth, unbelievably beautiful... I begged my father to pick it for me, and because my father loved me, he sent half the caravan’s guards to do so."

"But, where there are Spiritual Objects, there will be guardians. The guardian of that Ice Crystal Flower was a white-browed snow tiger with frosty eyes. The entire caravan suffered heavy casualties, my father died in battle, and I was wounded by the tiger’s roar in my heart vessels, breathing my last. I should have frozen to death in the cold wind like the other survivors of the caravan."

"But fortunately, I was saved by Divine Sect’s Envoy, able to cling to life at this Earth Pulse Node until today."

Looking back at You Ruhui, the old lady whispered, "I killed everyone, all because of my selfish desires."

"I should have died long ago, yet I am still living alone."

"The Northern Patrol Envoy and my elder brother were both very kind to me. It was only after I grew up that I gradually learned of the Divine Sect’s harshness. But they never made me do anything, only instructed me to live well."

"And I... I can’t do it."

"I can only help people to the best of my ability, especially the younger ones," he said. "Having been fortunate enough to survive, I can only keep helping others, hoping they can receive some good fortune... at least to leave an intact corpse."

"I, I can’t change the Divine Sect, nor can I accrue virtue for it. I can only accrue virtue for the few people I’m familiar with, hoping that they will have a good reward... at least to leave an intact corpse."

"I don’t want you to make mistakes, but even less do I want to see young people like you fall by the wayside."

"I hope... you can be different from me, to accomplish what I can’t."

Just as You Ruhui and Granny Huai were having an open and honest conversation.

A Mystery Armor Secret Guard soldier who was searching in the shadows suddenly noticed a slight movement of the compass in his hand.

Initially, he was just performing his search as a matter of routine, but after seeing the compass quiver, his eyes widened and he began shaking uncontrollably with excitement: "Did I actually find it?!"

"Target located!"

His first thought was to inform all his colleagues.

But due to some ’minor issues’ like ’your merit is simply the merit of your superior, and of course, the superior’s merit is still the superior’s!’ that had occurred in the Mystery Armor Secret Guard in the preceding period.

Such minor issues, in the past, would definitely not have affected the overall situation. Conversely, it wouldn’t affect the overall situation to be a little more cautious.

Thus, the Mystery Armor Guard hesitated for a moment.

Then, he decided to go and take a look for himself.

Leaping up, the Mystery Armor Guard followed the shadows to the direction indicated by the trembling compass; the talisman formation carved on his helmet rotated, allowing his vision to penetrate both the snowstorm and walls to see two figures inside a nearby house.

—It was true!

Overwhelmed with euphoria, the Mystery Armor Guard almost felt like bursting into song at that moment!

—It was right to let the True Demon Sect do as they pleased! Worthy of her reputation for wisdom, the daughter of King Jing really did expose herself by suppressing the Earth Vein anomaly to save people... Hahaha, it’s lucky that she’s a good person, and that’s why I have my own fortune!

The fact that You Ruhui might not take action because of the True Demon Sect’s activities did not concern the Mystery Armor Guard in the slightest.

Because if that were the case, they could just let the Heavenly Demon perform a Blood Sacrifice on the million people of Kanming City; the other party would definitely be exposed then, and the secret on the Royal Lady would be worth the death of a million people as a price for probing.

After all, he was not a person from the Northern Border; the lives of country folks didn’t count for much.

Filled with joy, the Mystery Armor Guard saw that You Ruhui’s condition was not good and that the old lady had a Fate Pattern, but no cultivation. He could easily capture them with an Iron Hand.

Unfortunately for the Mystery Armor Guard, he missed his one and only chance.

Because at that moment, through the endless frost and chill, a figure silently tread on the wind and snow, arriving behind him.

Thup.

A Blood Fiend spear blade pierced through the Mystery Armor Guard, penetrating his belly and awakening him from his dreams of imminent glory and wealth, pinning him to the wall.

An Jing, who had arrived at top speed, reached out and grasped the neck of the Mystery Armor Guard who was about to send a message.

His eyes narrowed as he suppressed the flickering red blood light within them.

"How strange, Da Chen Armored Guard."

An Jing said calmly, "Instead of hunting down the Heavenly Demon, thwarting the True Demon Sect’s conspiracy, and protecting the populace, you are loitering here."

"What are you trying to do?"
