Chapter 2132: Does this child actually possess such talent?

Inside the room, the woman in purple robes moved her lotus steps lightly, swaying gracefully as she walked to the middle-aged man's side, bent down, brought her cherry-small mouth close to his ear, and spoke in a firm tone softly.

Sir, the reason the beast tribe suddenly withdrew troops this time is entirely because of a person named Xu Jie.

Oh?

Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but startle, secretly thinking to himself, could the beast tribe really choose to withdraw troops because of a single person?

This is truly somewhat unbelievable. His brow furrowed slightly, as if a hint of doubt had arisen toward the purple-robed woman's words.

The purple-robed woman seemed not to notice the middle-aged man's doubt, and she continued speaking.

This person is named Xu Jie; since he is the third son in his family, everyone affectionately calls him Third Brother.

Having said that, the purple-robed woman paused briefly, then continued in a slightly mysterious tone.

According to rumors, when Xu Jie was born, there were heavenly signs: purple qi came from the east, stretching thirty thousand li, like a purple dragon spanning the sky. At the same time, lotuses bloomed across the heavens, as if cheering his arrival. Even more astonishing, the ancient sages of old appeared as illusory figures, standing upon the heavens, as if witnessing this historic moment. Moreover, sweet dew descended between heaven and earth, nourishing all things, as if a heavenly gift to Xu Jie. Furthermore, the source of the Dao seemed to be moved, sending down a mysterious power to cleanse his marrow and purify his bones, granting him extraordinary talent and potential.

The purple-robed woman was speaking vividly when the middle-aged man suddenly cut her off, his face showing a very strange expression as he widened his eyes at her and said.

Hold on, are you telling me a story or making things up? What purple qi coming from the east thirty thousand li, lotuses filling the sky, ancient sages appearing as illusions, and the Dao's source sending sweet dew to cleanse his marrow and purify his bones—why don't you just say he's a reincarnation of an ancient immortal buddha?

Seeing the middle-aged man's face darken as if water could drip from it, the purple-robed woman's heart tightened, her body trembling involuntarily; she immediately knelt with a 'plop' and repeatedly kowtowed, promising: 'Sir, please discern! How could your subordinate dare to speak nonsense? This is all information I painstakingly gathered.'

Her voice was full of fear and flattery, as if she feared that if the middle-aged man were displeased, he would take her life.

That Xu Jie is certainly not ordinary.

The purple-robed woman collected herself and continued speaking.

When he was born, strange phenomena actually descended from the sky—this is a rare auspicious sign seen once in a hundred years. Moreover, it is said that at one month old he could slaughter tigers, at three months old he could slay evil dragons, and at six months old he had already set foot on the path of cultivation. Sir, think about it—isn't this exactly the appearance of a monstrous talent?

The more the purple-robed woman spoke, the more excited she became, as if she had personally witnessed Xu Jie's various heroic deeds.

In your subordinate's humble opinion, the beast tribe surely knows this child's extraordinary talent, fully aware of how terrifying he will become when he grows up, which is why they hesitated and chose to retreat voluntarily, hoping to forge a good karma thereby.

The purple-robed woman's words were logical and coherent, making people involuntarily trust her somewhat.

Moreover, her firm demeanor really did not look like she was lying.

After hearing the purple-robed woman's words, the middle-aged man's expression eased slightly, but he still harbored some doubts.

After all, such a matter is truly too unbelievable.

However, the purple-robed woman's next sentence completely shook the middle-aged man's heart.

Sir, there's one more thing you shouldn't forget: this Xu Jie is the hope of the entire human race.

The purple-robed woman hastily said.

If the Dao One Immortal Sect truly possesses such a peerlessly talented monstrous talent, then the entire human race would be invigorated. Although the beast tribe is powerful, when facing the entire human race they cannot help but have some misgivings.

The purple-robed woman's words plunged the middle-aged man into contemplation.

Indeed, if Xu Jie is truly as formidable as she said, then the beast tribe's choice to retreat makes sense.

Moreover, for the Dao One Immortal Sect and the entire human race, this is undoubtedly a great blessing.

The value of a Heavenly Pride monstrous talent is self-evident; if the strong among the human race step forward to protect him, that is only reasonable.

The middle-aged man sat in the chair, his right hand supporting his chin, his left hand on the armrest, his eyes slightly closed, as if pondering something important.

Meanwhile, the purple-robed woman knelt with both knees, her body slightly leaned forward, hands on her knees, head lowered, appearing utterly respectful.

Time passed second by second; the room was unusually quiet, with only the occasional faint breathing sound.

After a while, the middle-aged man finally opened his eyes slowly, breaking the silence.

All right. His voice was low and steady.

I will report this matter truthfully myself. If what you said is true, rewards will naturally not be lacking for you.

Hearing this, the purple-robed woman felt as if pardoned, and hastily kowtowed in thanks.

Thank you, sir, thank you, sir.

Her voice revealed a hint of joy that could hardly be concealed; evidently the great stone in her heart had finally settled.

Having received the middle-aged man's promise, the purple-robed woman did not linger; she quickly rose, bowed to him, and then turned and left.

Her steps were light and swift, as if she feared that lingering a moment longer would bring some mishap.

However, neither the middle-aged man nor the purple-robed woman realized that their conversation had been heard clearly by Ye Zhangqing.

Ye Zhangqing hid in the darkness, hearing their conversation distinctly.

Watching the purple-robed woman's receding back, Ye Zhangqing's expression turned somewhat strange, and he couldn't help muttering to himself.

When did Xu Jie become a monstrous talent? This is nonsense.

Ye Zhangqing knew very well that Xu Jie's cultivation within the Dao One Immortal Sect was not high; indeed, he could be said to be among the lowest.

This purple-robed woman was obviously completely duped, and moreover duped to the point of dizziness.

However, Ye Zhangqing did not take this matter to heart; he was more concerned about the purple-robed woman's identity.

From her conversation with the middle-aged man, it can be learned that she is actually a person from the City Lord's Mansion; then why would people from the City Lord's Mansion investigate the Dao One Immortal Sect?

Ye Zhangqing's brow furrowed slightly; he decided to continue covert observation to see what secrets lay hidden herein.

After one Shíchén, inside a secret chamber of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Hongyan's doubtful voice sounded.

How can this child possess such talent? Where did the Dao One Immortal Sect find such a heavenly seedling?
