Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 339 - Fa Cai



Chapter 339 - Fa Cai

Faced with the accusations of the member of Sitting Oblivion Dao, Xin Chi wanted to explain himself. However, Li Huowang was not capable of hearing what he was talking about.

At this point, Xin Chi’s own actions were impeding himself. He had never thought that the Sitting Oblivion Dao would copy Li Huowang’s identity to try and trick them.

However, compared to seeing who would end up getting the short end of the stick here, Li Huowang was much more concerned about what he should do next.

After some deliberation, he decided on his course of action.

This mission is too dangerous. Both my allies and enemies are targeting me. Rather than going in with them, I would much rather act alone. Then once they fight, I will get to reap the rewards when the time is right. I can’t trust anyone here! I can only trust myself. At least, I won’t lie to myself.

He gave the four people down below one final look before scaling down from the roof while still being invisible.

He saw that the four of them weren’t fighting anymore, and were instead walking together. Seeing this, he realized that Xin Chi must’ve chosen to remain silent and admit that the fake Li Huowang was the real one to uphold his reputation.

However, Xin Chi was still cautious, ready to fight against the member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao at any moment.

The four of them seemed to be searching for something.

Li Huowang knew what they were looking for. They were searching for Ji Xiang. Ever since the temple palace collapsed, the golden abacus-wielding Ji Xiang was missing. Li Huowang hurried his steps to follow them.

But before he could do that, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder.

Instantly, Li Huowang started sweating profusely. He was invisible at the moment, and yet someone had still managed to spot him!

He turned around with his sword unsheathed, only to see that there was a scholar standing behind him.

Hua~

The scholar opened his fan, and Li Huowang saw that there were four words written on it: Everyone has their values.

“You must be Er Jiu. I am curious as to why out of your five elements, you only seem to have fire and metal. Where are the other three?” asked the scholar.

However, Li Huowang just stared at the stranger, his guard up as he prepared himself to deal with any strange movements.

In this bizarre place, that stranger could be anyone. But it was highly likely that the other party was from the Sitting Oblivion Dao, or someone worse.

Thus, Li Huowang was ready to act the moment he detected any hostility or attacks.

“Your face... Doesn’t it hurt to have those shrapnel blades embedded into your face? Those blades belong to the blade of the Creditor. If you borrow a weapon from him, then he will seek your luck and fate in payment.” As the scholar spoke, he waved his fan and the rusted shrapnel blades were instantly removed from Li Huowang’s face. Then, with another wave of his fan, the wound on Li Huowang’s face mended itself.

Seeing the scholar’s movements, Li Huowang instantly grabbed his flint and placed it against his own skin.

“Who are you?” Li Huowang stated each word clearly.

Looking at Li Huowang’s wariness, the scholar sighed and thought about it. After some time, he simply answered, “Never mind. I still have some matters to attend to, and so I will leave now. Since you’ve joined the Surveillance Bureau, then you should live a good life. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.”

Then, the scholar kneeled down and took out a black spindle and placed it on the ground. “I will leave you with something. This works much better than your coin veil.”

After placing it down, the scholar didn’t do anything else and just nodded at Li Huowang before turning to the temple. “We will meet again in the future, Er Jiu. My name is Zhuge Yuan. If you have problems that you can’t solve, then come and find me at the Xing Island of the Western Seas. My powers are limited, but I will help you out as much as I can.”

With those words, the scholar left. However, Li Huowang did not move for a long time. As he thought about the scholar’s actions, he soon realized that it was the rare act of kindness exhibited in this world.

It was something that he had only ever experienced in his hallucinations so far.

Back then, even Abbess Jingxin never showed any kindness, choosing to keep it buried deep in her heart. While she still helped him, she was unfriendly on the outside. contemporary romance

On the other hand, the scholar from just now had shown genuine kindness.

However, after some time, Li Huowang shook his head and braced himself.

No! That scholar is definitely fishy! I cannot let him rope me in. I’ve already fallen for these tricks enough and I must not fall for them once again.

With these thoughts, Li Huowang took one final look at the black spindle on the ground before walking toward the side palace.

This mission and the people he had met today made Li Huowang feel restless. He wasn’t sure why, but he had a feeling that he was somehow looking at everything through a veil. He could not see through any of it.

When he walked into the side palace, he was stunned.

The original group of four people had now turned into six. At this point, there was one more Xin Chi and one more Hong Da.

As Li Huowang saw them fighting, he chuckled. “Interesting.”

Then, he patted the dust off his shoulder, rearranged his robes, and kept his sword before entering the side palace. This time, he was not invisible.

When the real Li Huowang stepped in, the fake Li Huowang inside directly palmed his head. “Oh shit, here comes another one!”

“This is the real Er Jiu.”

“No, he is fake. He’s from the Sitting Oblivion Dao.”

Both Xin Chis also used telepathy at the same time and gave two completely different answers.

Li Huowang looked at the two Xin Chis and contemplated. At this point, even he couldn’t differentiate between which was the fake one and which was the one who framed him.

The palace soon grew rowdy with their arguing voices. Since the extra Xin Chi had appeared, they no longer had any methods that could be used to reliably tell who was real and who was fake.

There were numerous times when they wanted to start fighting, but stopped when the others held them back. Thus, no one fought for a long time.

However, Li Huowang did not care about any of this. He did not need to know who was real and who was fake. He was just here to watch the show.

All he needed to do was to wait for them to fight and for one of them to emerge as the victor. He would act after that.

At that moment, Li Huowang smiled as he looked at the chaos in front of him. Now, he could somewhat understand the Sitting Oblivion Dao’s thought process.

As long as it did not involve him, any crisis would be interesting in his eyes.

“Enough!” A shrill voice suddenly rang out, causing everyone to stop fighting as they looked toward the entrance.

It was Ji Xiang who was holding a half-shrunken head.

At this moment, Ji Xiang’s sparse eyebrows were trembling from anger. It was the first time he looked this angry. He approached all of them and looked at the two Li Huowangs, the two Hong Das, and the two Xin Chis. Then, he raised his hand and showed all of them the head. “Stop playing now! This is Fa Cai’s head! Fa Cai died a long time ago!”

As soon as they heard this, everyone felt a chill in their gut. Fa Cai, one of the Three Officials of the Sitting Oblivion Dao was dead just like that? Then how strong was the killer?
