A great calamity approaches, defying heaven (3/3)

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were few.

After seeing Li Jingshu and Lu Huaijin off, Li Boyang sat down on the altar at Ghost God Cliff again.

This altar gathers the power of many Ghost God, and can help Li Boyang to the greatest extent possible to alleviate the pressure from the believers.

In situations where it's impossible to actively block out those sounds.

Li Boyang could only find a moment of peace by sitting on this altar for extended periods.

In fact, this is also a major reason why Li Boyang has been returning to the village less and less in recent years, gradually becoming a legend.

Especially recently, Li Boyang has no idea how many places the Human-Faced Fish has gone to or how many statues it has erected for itself.

"If you ask me, you just like to make trouble for yourself."

It appeared silently, then found a comfortable spot to lie down.

Xiluo gazed at Li Boyang in the very center of the altar, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

"That girl is Guhuo Bird's soul. Now you're teaching her how to use the Heavenly Eye. Aren't you afraid she'll actually become a menace in the end?"

"Or are you expecting her to deal with that Guhuo Bird infiltrated the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?"

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang looked at Xiluo with some surprise.

"You even predicted that Guhuo Bird?"

"Didn't you say you didn't like studying the Nine Chapters of the Lower Mysteries?"

It's no wonder Li Boyang was so surprised; the impression Xiluo had left on him about being illiterate was too deep. "Disliking someone is one thing, but not being able to learn them is another."

"Now that I have cultivated my Primordial Spirit, it would be a waste not to practice my Premonition Divine Ability."

"After all, I don't want to be kept in the dark forever, only finding out what happened later."

Xiluo paused slightly at this point.

"Furthermore, ever since Heaven-Eroding Lord left the Hundred Lands Mountain Range— "

There are very few people left who can truly help you.

"Or do you think I'm the kind of guy who'd always hide behind you and obediently accept your protection?"

Hearing Xiluo reveal her true feelings for the first time, Li Boyang fell silent.

He then realized how much the flood a few years ago had changed Xiluo.

She no longer wanted to be like before, where she could only hide on the sidelines and watch silently when something truly important happened.

Or to be more precise, Xiluo never wanted to relive the "Death of the Witch of the Huai River" from a thousand years ago.

"What else did you calculate?"

After a brief silence, Li Boyang felt a sense of foreboding.

"I've calculated a lot of things—"

"For example, you're waiting for that Witch King of Great Xia."

"For example, that Guhuo Bird will eventually come looking for Lu Huaijin ---"

"You deliberately used Lu Huaijin as bait, hoping to uncover the truth behind my sister's death through that Guhuo Bird)."

A slight smile played on her lips, Xiluo's eyes shone brightly, showing no trace of her former languor.

"I even calculated that you're figuring out how to deal with an impending catastrophe—"

"It was a calamity more terrifying than a great flood; even my Primordial Spirit sensed its impending doom."

When I heard Xiluo say that...

Li Boyang's pupils suddenly contracted, and his ominous feeling was instantly confirmed.

"Okay, I think I understand. We don't need to continue."

"Don't forget Wuzhiqi's Wind-Following Ear; some things, once spoken, will be overheard."

Completely unaware of Li Boyang's emotional change, Xiluo simply flicked her tail and said...

"That's precisely why I said that."

"I just want you to know that I, Xiluo, have never been a burden to anyone--"

"Without me, you wouldn't even have been born safely into this world."

With her gaze fixed intently on Li Boyang's eyes, Xiluo laid her cards on the table.

I'll support you!

"It was true in the past, it is true now, and it will certainly be true in the future."

In a daze, Li Boyang seemed to see Xiluo's half-human, half-beast Primordial Spirit form, and that calm smile that was exactly the same as the Witch of the Huai River's.

Looks like I need to revise my plans.

With a slightly helpless sigh, Li Boyang could only manage a smile.

"After all, fate doesn't allow me to remain unscathed, so there's no point in going along with it."

"Sometimes, doing what is known to be impossible, seizing that sliver of hope, is the true essence of divination."

Tilting her head blankly, Xiluo didn't actually understand what Li Boyang meant, but that didn't stop her from understanding his gaze.

"That's more like it! You can trust me unconditionally at any time!"

Almost at the same time that Li Boyang changed his mind and decided to defy fate.

Near a relatively large Mountain Folk village in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

As soon as Yin Fei arrived with the Flower Mantis, she suddenly widened her eyes, a strong sense of foreboding rising in her heart.

"This-"

This ominous feeling came too quickly and too suddenly.

Yin Fei lost its balance and fell straight off the Flower Mantis's head.

Fortunately Flower Mantis reacted quickly, stretching out its arms to grab it.

This prevented the scene of Yin Fei falling to the ground and the wolf and fox rolling around.

"What's wrong with you?"

Frowning as it stared at the Hidden Yin Fei with its dilated pupils, the Flower Mantis could clearly hear its heartbeat pause for a moment.

"Damn it, someone's watching me!"

"No, it's not just me they're targeting; someone's targeting us!"

The pronunciation of the word "we" was deliberately emphasized.

Yin Fei was clearly not referring to the Flower Mantis that was with her.

For the Guhuo Bird possesses the ability to foresee good and bad fortune, the symbolic meaning of that intense sense of foreboding transcends the death of a single individual.

Only the "Guhuo Bird" group collectively faced a crisis of death.

Only then would someone as long-lived as Yin Fei be qualified to express such a terrified tone.

Could it be Wu Yi?

Yin Fei's first thought was of the Great Xia Witch King.

But she immediately dismissed the idea.

Because that Great Xia Witch King was indeed powerful; even all the Guhuo Bird combined could not possibly be his match.

But Guhuo Bird truly relies on is its immortal reincarnated soul.

Let alone the current Wu Yi.

Even if the first Witch King were to be resurrected, it would be impossible for him to kill all the Guhuo Bird at once.

That was beyond Yin Fei's common sense and understanding; it was something that was simply impossible to do.

"Wait—if it's not Wu Yi, then who could it be?"

As if waking from a dream, Yin Fei suddenly thought of Li Boyang— and of the other's "Way of the Celestial Person," which was a completely unknown path and a completely unknown power.

Yin Fei had only briefly embarked on this path, yet his understanding had already undergone a transformation.

If Li Boyang possessed a method capable of wiping out all the Guhuo Bird at once...

Although Yin Fei also found it unbelievable, he didn't think the possibility was zero.

"After all—he was pre-ordained by the Netherworld Lord."

This was the first time Yin Fei had felt anxious, flustered, and even fearful since gaining the ability to reincarnate.

However, after a brief period of panic and fear...

Suddenly, a thought that shouldn't have popped into Yin Fei's mind.

[Wait, why should I be afraid? Should I be afraid at all?]

As this thought arose, Yin Fei's eyes suddenly became empty and he went mad.

[Does this fear come from the Guhuo Bird) or the Night-Wandering Woman?]

Who am I!?

[The Method of the Celestial Person, only the Method of the Celestial Person! I must obtain the complete Method of the Celestial Person!]

After making up his mind, Yin Fei's madness gradually subsided, but a hint of determination appeared in his eyes.

It seems we have to take some risks; we can't keep waiting like before.
