Chapter 753: 753 Terrifying Rong Shi! [1 more]

Unlike Ye Wanlan, who only recently learned from the historical scenes of the past what Master of Highest Heaven Tower actually did in that great battle.

Yue Zheng was one of the parties involved back then, and it was she and Xing Yun who gave the magical treasures of Mount Penglai and the Beiming Sect to the Master of Highest Heaven Tower, assisting him in invoking the powers of Heaven and Earth, Yin-yang and the Five Elements.

If these three forces are simultaneously infused into a single person, even if he is the Master of Highest Heaven Tower, with numerous magical treasures protecting him, he would not be able to withstand it.

Sacrificing oneself for the Dao, calling forth the arrival of the Heavenly Moat, thus protecting Shenzhou.

This price was exceedingly high, so high that the soul isn’t shattered but instead expended in an instant, evaporating directly.

"I originally thought the same, but just today—" Ye Wanlan paused, recounting the previous events, "aside from the Master of Highest Heaven Tower, I can’t fathom who else’s saber techniques could be so divine."

The enemies were exterminated too quickly, too quickly, and it was merely the Master of Highest Heaven Tower’s divine thought that arrived on the scene.

"This is too incredible." Yue Zheng slowly pressed her temples, "Even I cannot comprehend it. I tried to dissuade the Tower Master at the time because once this method is implemented, he will completely vanish from this world."

Ye Wanlan was silent for a moment, then softly said, "Perhaps he also has his own obsessions."

She had never met the Master of Highest Heaven Tower, so her impression of him came from textual descriptions and the words of others.

She didn’t know what kind of person he truly was, like a paradoxical being shrouded in layers of mystery, never able to perceive the most authentic figure beneath the veils.

Some say the Master of Highest Heaven Tower kills like a maniac, with countless dead souls under his blade.

Others say he already developed a paranoid nature due to childhood experiences and will inevitably go mad on the path of cultivation, ending up like the previous Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, Gui Qing.

But he did not.

He used his life to protect Shenzhou.

"Could it be..." Yue Zheng suddenly murmured, "Rong Shi?"

If Yue Zheng were to choose the most terrifying existence in the Jianghu, it wouldn’t be the invincible Master of Highest Heaven Tower but rather Rong Shi, who calculates every step.

Rong Shi, this man, is extremely meticulous and is an unparalleled genius of the Great Purity Sect.

He is also highly adept at strategy, even if he never leaves his home, he can still discern the major events of Shenzhou.

The world is the chessboard, and the myriad beings the chess pieces.

The players, however, are only Princess Yongning and the Master of Highest Heaven Tower.

Rong Shi is not a player, but the sole observer, the eyes of the player, seeing all things.

"Rong Shi, huh..." Ye Wanlan paused for another three seconds, "If it’s him, then everything makes sense."

Her mastery of Zither, Go, Calligraphy, and Painting came from the true teachings of Imperial Tutor Han Yunsheng, and even Yan King He Jia rarely defeated her.

But it’s very difficult for her to win against Rong Shi.

Ye Wanlan suddenly remembered another event.

When she was about to personally deal with the national pandemic, everyone advised her against it except Rong Shi.

He only personally escorted her from the Capital’s Fengyuan, saying, "Her Royal Highness the Princess, the journey ahead is long, please take care, I await your triumphant return."

Rong Shi’s health was very poor, almost never leaving his home.

He came to send her off himself, yet only said this sentence to her.

At that time, Xiang Lan thought nothing of it, just regarded it as a friend’s farewell.

But now, upon detailed reflection, Ye Wanlan couldn’t help but feel a sudden chill.

If Rong Shi’s "long journey" referred not to her governance of the plague but rather her learning and growth in another world after death?

As soon as this thought surfaced, Ye Wanlan shared her idea with Yue Zheng.

"Indeed!" Yue Zheng blurted out, "Rong Shi’s words are never frivolous; every word carries deep meaning. He surely knew what Her Royal Highness the Princess would experience in the future."

Ye Wanlan’s eyes deepened: "He, indeed, knows much more."

"If what Her Royal Highness says is true, and the Tower Master is still alive, then this is an extraordinary piece of good news." Even Yue Zheng, normally tranquil as still water, couldn’t hide her excitement, "If Her Royal Highness the Princess can plan together with the Tower Master, all difficulties will be resolved."

"I understand." Ye Wanlan smiled softly, "That’s why I want to ask the Saintess to help me find him."

"It’s not easy." Yue Zheng calmed down, "If the Tower Master wishes to hide, even if he’s beside you, you won’t be able to find him, just like Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Ye Wanlan’s expression subtly shifted.

"Should Her Royal Highness the Princess choose not to reveal herself proactively, then even if I’m standing right in front of you, I would just find you somewhat familiar." Yue Zheng sighed, "For whether it’s you or the Tower Master, being alive and still themselves to us cultivators is nothing short of a miracle."

Because such things have never happened before, people instinctively deny even their assumptions.

"But now Her Royal Highness the Princess absolutely cannot reveal herself publicly." Yue Zheng’s tone was stern, "Otherwise, not only will you never find the Tower Master, but also bring about deadly peril."

Even from three hundred years ago, under the identity of Crown Prince of the East Palace, countless people hunted down Princess Yongning.

Ye Wanlan was well aware of this.

Thus, she was cautious to the extent that she completely changed her way of holding chopsticks.

"The only one who might confirm your and the Tower Master’s identities is Rong Shi alone." Yue Zheng’s voice paused, "Just uncertain of his whereabouts if he’s still alive."

Ye Wanlan slowly stood up: "Return to Shenzhou first. If Rong Shi can plan for me and the Master of Highest Heaven Tower, then surely he has left more methods behind."

Yue Zheng nodded, taking the medicine handed by Ye Wanlan, she left with her.

This episode of the spirit summoning battle was completely suspended under the pretext of an incident occurring.

Even though some viewers mentioned encountering supernatural incidents online, such posts were quickly drowned amidst numerous trending news.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: This year’s spirit summoning battle was truly a clash of immortals, even as a judge I suffered!

[Ghostbuster Bro]: First, a gigantic black whirlpool appeared in the sky, and lightning directly knocked me out.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Later, an Alpha-level Atlantian emerged! But by the time I came to, this bastard had already been slain by our Sister YN.

[Shenzhou University Gate Security]: An Alpha-level Atlantian?

[YN]: Yes, I killed him.

[Crazy Scientist]: They’re becoming increasingly restless, well done in killing them!

[World’s Richest]: An update, the Sky Tower Master has secluded himself, the Round Table Conference is suspended, and the Heaven-reaching Tower is in lockdown, no one is allowed in.

[World’s Richest]: Another update, one of the nine statues on the first floor of the Heaven-reaching Tower has shattered, the ninth one. These statues represent the nine angels on the left of God.

[Cultured Person]: So the shattered ninth statue represents the Power Angel Ouya?

[World’s Richest]: I guess, Ouya is dead, hence the emergency sealing of the Heaven-reaching Tower.

Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed.

The Master of Highest Heaven Tower actually slayed Ouya with a single strike!

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Well killed, wonderfully dead, ideally they’d all die, by the way, when is Sister YN coming back?

[YN]: In a couple of days, there’s still some matters to handle.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: No problem, tell me when Sister YN returns, I will definitely come to greet you!

[World’s Richest]: Sister YN, another important tidbit, the direction in which the statue belonging to the "Wisdom Angel" is looking is toward Shenzhou.

This implies that the Sky Tower Master has dispatched his second-in-command, He Xi, into Shenzhou’s territory.

[YN]: I understand.

In the deep night, a private jet landed on the Rong Family’s back mountain.

"Ah Lan is back!" Hua Yingyue’s expression brightened, "Perhaps the Beiming Cult Leader returned along with her."

"Even if it’s the Sect Hierarch and the Saintess, in such a condition, they can’t exert any power." Xie Linyuan slightly shook his head.

Ye Wanlan’s voice slowly resonated: "Senior Brother, the Saintess’s situation is different from yours."

"How is it different?" Xie Linyuan turned his head.
