Chapter 866: 448 Cat and Mouse_2

The Dock Master hesitated and said, "Master, would using the word ’chance encounter’ create uncontrollable variables?"

Zhu Tingchao laughed and said, "Presetting the future isn’t about being too clear, it’s best to keep it a bit vague so that other Fate Realm entities can’t intervene easily."

The Dock Master understood.

...

...

Suddenly, Fang Zhixing shivered, feeling a strange dark gray aura flowing over.

It was like a cold venomous snake had crawled onto him, wrapping around his neck.

"What is this?!"

Fang Zhixing was greatly shocked and immediately activated the Prison Suppressing Tribulation Skill, tensing his right hand into a claw and releasing a gray-black claw shadow.

With one grab!

Bang!

The cold snake was immediately suppressed on the spot!

"What are you doing?" Xigou was bewildered, as he hadn’t seen anything.

Fang Zhixing replied, "I’ve been hit with a calamity; someone is trying to manipulate my fate."

Xigou exclaimed in shock, "Who? How are they doing it?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head, "Calamities can be detected, suppressed, or directly immune, but what the calamity specifically is cannot be deciphered."

Xigou thought for a moment and said, "You mean someone just preset your future, right?"

Fang Zhixing replied, "This calamity probably isn’t directly targeting me; someone preset another person’s future, but it got me involved in the process."

Xigou somewhat understood, somewhat didn’t.

Fang Zhixing took a deep breath and said, "The person delivering the calamity has cultivation at least at the Heaven and Earth level, far stronger than I am."

Xigou asked hesitantly, "Could your exposure have been due to sneaking into Tingchao Dock?"

Fang Zhixing had a sudden insight and realized, "No, precisely because I haven’t exposed myself. I’ve hidden too well, but someone is dead set on finding me, hence using the method of presetting the future."

Xigou clicked his tongue and said, "Could it be because you beat up those four arrogant youths at Tingchao Dock?

Damn, who did you offend to have a calamity cast on you like this? Is it necessary?"

Fang Zhixing pondered briefly, then suddenly released his grip, letting go of the cold snake.

Immediately, the cold snake crawled onto him, wrapping itself around him over and over.

Xigou couldn’t help but ask, ’How are you planning to break this calamity?’

Fang Zhixing sneered, "This calamity isn’t directly aimed at me, its power isn’t particularly strong, and I possess a five-star physique, enough to be immune to this calamity."

As he spoke, hissing sounds~

Just like white snow under the scorching sun, the cold snake quickly melted, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipated completely.

Xigou asked, "Can the person who cast the calamity perceive that you are immune to it?"

"We don’t know yet!"

Fang Zhixing shook his head, "However, once the calamity’s intended time arrives, the other party will naturally know."

[2, Resisted 1 calamity (completed)]

The System Panel flashed with a glow, announcing that Fang Zhixing had calmly resolved a calamity.

Miraculously, at that moment, a vast amount of Immortal Energy poured into his body, enhancing the speed of the Prison Suppressing Tribulation Skill by dozens of times invisibly.

Fang Zhixing felt entirely at ease; he hadn’t expected resolving a calamity to bring such benefits.

At this moment, he actually hoped for more calamities.

"It now seems that presetting the future is akin to an investment; if successful, there are returns, if failed, you lose everything."

"If the future is set too high, it’s like going all in, even taking out loans to invest; if it fails, you go bankrupt and heavily in debt."

"Therefore, one must invest cautiously..."

Fang Zhixing could conclude that the Fate Realm expert at the Heaven and Earth level had only made a small investment this time.

With losses, but not too much.

Three days passed in a flash...

The Dock Master and Zhu Wenji encountered many people in these three days, some familiar, some strangers, but never the one who beat them.

"How could this be?"

They were in disbelief and quickly went to ask Zhu Tingchao.

"I know already."

Zhu Tingchao emerged from the cave abode, with white hair and a youthful appearance, exuding an air of immortality, calmly said, "The future I preset didn’t take effect."

The Dock Master bowed and said, "Master, who on the entire Baiqiu Star can break the calamity you cast?"

Zhu Wenji added, "Indeed, ancestor, even if that fighter possesses a Three-star Physique, they couldn’t possibly be immune to the calamity you cast, right?"

He said this because he naturally possessed a One-star "Innate Spiritual Body."

And the ancestor Zhu Tingchao possessed a Three-star "Raging Water War Body."

Zhu Tingchao stood with his hands behind his back, slowly saying, "The fighter must either have profound cultivation or have a highly skilled helper by their side; the latter is more likely."

The Dock Master asked cautiously, "Who could it be? The one from the Moving Mountain Sect surely isn’t on par with you. The one from the Wandering Dragon Sect has cultivation on par with yours, could it be him..."

Zhu Tingchao smiled, waving off, "The calamity I cast three days ago was very simple; a peer at the same level could easily break it. Since someone wants to play with me, let’s play a little bigger."

The Dock Master couldn’t help but feel invigorated, excitedly saying, "Master, how about I take the lead?"

"Good!"

Zhu Tingchao gave sincere praise, "To enter the game with oneself, you are halfway to victory. Our kind’s cultivation is like the great river, the tide, rushing to the sea, never to return."

The Dock Master took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Tomorrow, I will force my way into the Moving Mountain Sect for a search."

Zhu Tingchao nodded and immediately preset the future, "Tomorrow, I will suppress the Moving Mountain Ancestor."

Very soon...

Fang Zhixing received an order: "All disciples to immediately return to the mountain gate and await instructions."

At the same time, he sensed two dark gray cold snakes, one large and one small, emerging in the void and rushing towards the south of the city.

"Interesting..."

Fang Zhixing’s eyes flickered, lost in thought.
