Chapter 714: Chapter 606: Demonic Beings? Targeted by the Devil Gate!

"Really? Then could you do a divination for me?" At this moment, Wang Zijia also spoke up. He could tell at a glance that the old Daoist had almost no cultivation, but he was interested to see what kind of free tricks the other party would use to swindle them.

"Alright then!" Upon hearing Wang Zijia’s request, the old Daoist suddenly pulled out several peculiar bamboo pieces that looked rather worn-out and decorated with strange patterns. They should’ve looked pretty impressive, but their appeal was marred due to them being somewhat dirty and tarnished their aesthetics.

However, Wang Zijia’s mind stirred as he felt an odd Dao charm emanate from these pieces.

’Hmmm... Impregnated with Heavenly Dao, a companion object tangled up with Dao and Principle? Is this guy no fraud?’

Just when the thought crossed his mind, the old Daoist swiftly performed the divination.

But no sooner had he initiated the divination than his one eye instantly turned into an endless golden color, while the other was flooded with blood-red light.

"Puh..."

The next moment, a mouthful of boiling hot heart-blood spewed out three feet away. He didn’t have time to react, trembled, and promptly fainted.

"Ah! Master, Master, don’t scare me!" The child, who had been obediently following the old Daoist, panicked at this sight.

At this moment, the untidy old Daoist had not only just fainted!

His face was utterly devoid of color, his eyes were bleeding profusely, and his spirit was barely discernible, giving off the impression that he might breathe his last at any moment.

The ladies on the street exchanged bewildered looks, Yu Tianci, however, heaved a smaller sigh of relief. He couldn’t care less as long as nothing chaotic happened.

He had put in a lot of effort to have a peaceful day-out. It would be a great loss if it were to be spoiled.

But the eyes of Wang Zijia glowed brightly.

’Interesting, can barely cultivate, yet it could push him to backlash by divining me. Is he some kind of freak with a unique talent?’ he pondered.

As his thoughts flashed, Wang Zijia stepped forward and gently extended his finger. Dots of spiritual light entered the body of the unkempt Daoist.

Name: Du Wusuan

Cultivation: Primary Disciple

Talent: Dao performance

Spiritual Roots: Dao Performance (Top grade: 49.9999 million/50 million)

Dao Cultivation: None (10/2000)

Status: World Pressure, Heavenly Dao invasion

Spell: None

World Pressure: A miraculous person who shouldn’t appear in a Mini World. The phrase "Genius of envy" refers to these kinds of beings. Once he rises, this world might be toyed with and swelled by him, hence the World instinctively repels these types of existence.

The majority who are born in such a Mini World often face a multitude of obstacles and misfortunes. They struggle for their entire lives, or even suffer from many terrible diseases and die young.

However, once they break out of the cage, they will surely soar into the sky and never be held back at all!

······

’A top-grade special Calculation Spiritual Root?’ He thought, ’World Pressure?’

’Ho, what an exciting man! ’

In a flash of thought, after Wang Zijia treated the other party’s abnormal condition, he gently touched him a few times. The wave of the spiritual light quickly restored the other party’s status.

"Master, Master, the old fishing grandpa has been warning you not to randomly tell fortunes. It would bring bad luck, but you never listened..."

The child on the side was sobbing uncontrollably at the moment.

"Mmm!"

After Wang Zijia’s brief treatment, the old Daoist priest, amidst a murmur, slowly came back to consciousness.

Still a little dazed, he probably heard his disciple crying. So he subconsciously began to grumble: "Grumbling old fishing man..."

As he reluctantly opened his eyes and his brain started to come back to life, his gaze directly met the smiling gaze of Wang Zijia.

Feeling a start, he abruptly stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Zijia, saying: "An ignorant monk pays his respect to the Immortal Venerate!"

Although he couldn’t divine anything, he didn’t need to.

"So, you are not going to continue the divination for me? I’ve been waiting for your interpretation!" Wang Zijia said with an amused tone.

"I was reckless and offended the Immortal. You are magnanimous. Please don’t take offense at a coarse man like me!" The untidy Daoist pleaded in fear.

Wang Zijia slightly reduced his smile, took one last look at the unkempt Daoist, who was now kneeling on the ground, with the disciple, not daring to lift his head.

"Seeing that you have some talent and you have met me by chance, would you willing to follow me to the Upper Realm to cultivate?"

"Ah?" The untidy Taoist lifted his head in amazement, looking at Wang Zijia in bewilderment, entirely not expecting this kind of development.

Even Yu Tianci, who was observing from the side, was dumbstruck by how events were unfolding.

He had been following Wang Zijia for four hundred years. He knew perfectly well that while his master seemed approachable to anyone and often gave guidance, but when it came to accepting a disciple, it was extremely rare.

There was always a sense of aloofness!

To grab someone off the street and accept him as a disciple was unheard of!

Full of thoughts, he scrutinized the untidy Daoist with a serious, glowing gaze.

"Unwilling?" Wang Zijia asked again.

"Disciple Du Wusuan pays respect to the master!" The unkempt Daoist immediately prostrated himself before Wang Zijia after regaining his senses.

"I didn’t say I would take you as a disciple!" Wang Zijia looked at the unkempt Daoist and said.

"For an old person like me, having an immortal to guide me is like a benefactor. My enlightenment master! My second parent!" He turned his head and smacked the dazed child next to him, saying, "What are you staring at, chick? You haven’t saluted your Martial Uncle yet!"

"Ah? Oh!" The young Taoist boy stood dumbfounded for a moment then immediately saluted Wang Zijia, saying, "The disciple pays respect to Martial Uncle!"

Looking at the opportunistic unkempt Daoist, Wang Zijia couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. Given his persona, he would be astonished if the guy behaved otherwise. Thus, he didn’t mind too much.

He waved his hand and said, "Alright, you may follow for now."

Having said that, he paid no further attention to the two, and continued strolling with Xiang Feifei.

Upon seeing the matter had been resolved, Xiang Feifei too didn’t bother anymore and resumed her outing.

Yu Tianci took the time to scrutinize the sloppy Taoist.

The sloppy Taoist respectfully saluted Yu Tianci, "Greetings to the new Saint Master!"

Yu Tianci only nodded indifferently, didn’t continue his observation, and diligently attended to his duties.

After playing for most of the night, the group finally returned to the Holy Land.

······

Early the next day, Wang Zijia’s silhouette appeared inside the White Peach Courtyard of White Peach Peak.

After having breakfast with Xiang Feifei, Wang Zijia returned.

The next moment, at his thought, the sloppy Taoist Du Wusuan and his disciple emerged.

Actually, referring to Du Wusuan as an old Taoist was not quite accurate. After being tidied up, he clearly appeared to be no more than thirty years old, merely at his prime.

The two were taken aback momentarily, having just recovered and not having gotten a chance to salute, Du Wusuan’s eyes once again fell into a daze.

A profound change appeared in his aura, then, spiritual power began to flock to him.

His very limited cultivation progress from before, within a mere instance, strangely gained over a decade’s worth of Tao cultivation, nearly reaching the Primary Disciple level, before finally slowing down.

This was the second person with a talent he had encountered, possessing a unique talent, indeed terrifying!

"So this is the Immortal World?" After Du Wusuan regained his senses, he noticed the whole world had changed, and murmured.

Wang Zijia glanced at him, said nothing much, and instructed, "Follow me!"

On hearing this, the two immediately followed Wang Zijia, heading towards the White Peach Tower not far from the courtyard.

"Greetings to the head of the Branch!"

"Greetings to the Master!"

"······"

As always, An Xingsheng and the secretary Celestial Group had been waiting since morning.

Seeing Wang Zijia, who had just returned from Qinglian World, bringing along two people, they immediately saluted respectfully.

Wang Zijia nodded, pointed at Du Wusuan and his group and instructed An Xingsheng, "These two were picked up by me from the Lower Realm streets, hand them over to Li Lexin and let him arrange for them."

An Xingsheng looked at Du Wusuan, who immediately saluted respectfully.

An Xingsheng silently withdrew his gaze, and replied: "Understood."

With these words, he turned to one of the gatekeeper secretaries.

The latter immediately signaled to Du Wusuan and his disciple. Du Wusuan saluted Wang Zijia once more, before following and leaving.

Wang Zijia paid them no more attention, as it was merely a matter of convenience for him.

Had it not been for their special talents, solely based on their strong spiritual roots, he would not have unquestionably brought them along; worst case scenario, he would’ve dropped them off at the Demon Suppression Holy Land.

······

He took some items from An Xingsheng and stepped into the room.

Upon entering the room, Wang Zijia was skimming through some material. An Xingsheng carefully placed some miscellaneous books by Wang Zijia’s desk and didn’t immediately leave.

"What’s up?" Wang Zijia asked without looking up.

"God Monarch Luo Yu from the Law Hall came to pay his respects early in the morning. Would the head of the Branch like to see him?" An Xingsheng replied.

"Luo Yu?" Wang Zijia lifted his gaze in confusion.

"The God Monarch who was in charge of handling the matter of the Spy Hall in the Xilin Branches two months ago!" An Xingsheng carefully reminded.

Wang Zijia nodded in realization, and commented, "For it to take a couple of months before results could be seen, it appears a lot of effort was put into the investigation!"

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Okay, call him in."

"By your decree!"

An Xingsheng politely bowed and left to call on him.

······

Wang Zijia continued to review the material in his hand.

After a while, an Infant God Monarch, appearing nervous with cautious movements, entered.

"Disciple Luo Yu pays his respects to Red Sun Shishu!" Upon entering the study room, Luo Yu respectfully saluted Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia put down what he was reading and looked at him.

The silence made Luo Yu feel immense pressure.

As a member of the Luo family, and also an Infant God Monarch in charge of many affairs in Law Hall, while he held respect for Yuan Shen cultivators, he didn’t fear them to this extent.

But this man was not to be trifled with!!!

If he offended this man, it would be akin to poking the Sect’s hornet’s nest; more fearsome than offending the Head Teacher!

Not to mention offending him, if he so much as revealed a hint of dissatisfaction, he felt his days would be troubled. The patriarch would probably make his life difficult.

"Tell me the situation!" Wang Zijia went straight to the point.

"In reply to Red Sun Shishu, after two months of investigation, I have basically eradicated the Spy Halls from the Xilin Branches. Counting the ones that Shishu discovered that day, we have found eleven Spy Halls in total, and arrested thousands of different disciples." Luo Yu responded respectfully.

Wang Zijia raised an eyebrow and said, "Well, there are fewer than a hundred veins in the Xilin Branches, so approximately one Spy Hall for every seven veins. Considering the structure of the Spy Hall of Devil Gate, does it mean they are scattered throughout the Xilin Branches?"

Luo Yu lowered his head even more, not daring to speak.

"So why seek me? Just to report this? Or is it that, I should reward you?" Wang Zijia paused for a moment before he asked.
