Chapter 2323: Holy Son, You Are Obsessed
This woman's outward identity is merely that of a minor cultivator residing in Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng.
She has lived in Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng for over a hundred years, but in reality she is a secret agent planted there by the Ultimate Bliss Palace.
Such people exist in every major power of the Immortal Realm; they are simply kept alive with some cultivation resources.
For the mighty Ultimate Bliss Palace, such secret agents are not few; even just Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng alone has many.
However, sneaking into Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng is not hard, but infiltrating the Heavenly Family is as difficult as climbing to heaven.
Moreover, hiding in Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng is of little real use, so under normal circumstances agents like this woman are of little help to the Ultimate Bliss Palace.
But recently, she suddenly received an order from An Sheng Xin to help guide evil spirits.
At first she was doubtful, but upon seeing the first evil spirit she became filled with suspicion.
She had thought it would be a one‑time thing, but thereafter An Sheng Xin sent four evil spirits one after another, asking her to find a way to lure them into the city.
This left her anxious and on edge.
She did not know the purpose, but since An Sheng Xin would not say, she dared not ask.
But this time An Sheng Xin sent ten evil spirits all at once, making her scalp go numb.
This is no desolate wilderness where you can come and go as you please—this is Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng!
The city is full of strong experts; letting these evil spirits enter Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng is like throwing meat into a monk's bowl.
She was shocked, but having no choice, she could only obey orders.
Even after those ten evil spirits left, she remained uneasy.
"Holy Son, what on earth are you trying to do?"
I can't fathom why An Sheng Xin is sending so many evil spirits into the city—it's strange.
Meanwhile, those ten evil spirits, under the cover of night, quickly entered the canteen.
Inside the room, Zuo Jue, who had been meditating with closed eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and whispered.
"They really came."
Hearing the sound, Tao Qian also slowly opened his eyes, a strange hue flashing in his gaze.
Soon, while the two waited, the ten evil spirits appeared one by one in the room.
But upon seeing two people in the room, the evil spirits were startled, and Zuo Jue turned his head to Tao Qian and said.
"You haven't offended anyone lately, have you?"
"I haven't even left the canteen."
Tao Qian didn't know who he had offended; lately he hadn't left the canteen at all.
Each day he did nothing but cultivate, nothing else.
Zuo Jue was also puzzled: since he had offended nobody, where did these ten evil spirits come from, and moreover one of them rivals an Immortal Emperor cultivator.
The two men and ten ghosts stared at each other, both feeling dazed for a moment.
However, Zuo Jue was the first to regain his composure and immediately launched an attack.
"What's the point of thinking so much? Take them down first."
As Zuo Jue struck, Tao Qian instantly followed.
At the same time, Zuo Jue's Protector of the Way, that old man, appeared and instantly subdued the evil spirit of Immortal Emperor level.
With Zuo Jue's Protector of the Way present, those ten evil spirits could not stir up any trouble.
They were quickly subdued.
But before Zuo Jue could act further, the evil spirits immediately chose to self‑detonate their ghost crystals.
Ghost crystals are the source of an evil spirit's existence; once a ghost crystal is destroyed, the spirit vanishes completely.
"Damn it..............."
Wanting to stop them, but clearly it was too late, Zuo Jue could only curse in frustration.
These evil spirits were indeed decisive, showing no hesitation.
After great effort to capture them, in the end they found nothing.
As the ten evil spirits dissipated, Zuo Jue began to mutter angrily in the room.
But there was one person even angrier than Zuo Jue—An Sheng Xin.
At that moment, An Sheng Xin, who was in the Ultimate Bliss Palace, roared angrily toward the heavens in the chamber.
"Ye Zhangqing, are you truly intending to oppose me?"
"Sigh.................."
An Sheng Xin's fury truly shot up to the heavens, but as soon as his words fell, a sigh was heard from inside the room.
Immediately, space was torn open a rift, and then an old man stepped out.
It was none other than An Sheng Xin's Protector of the Way, the old servant who had always attended the Grand Ancestor of the Ultimate Bliss Palace.
The old man appeared, his gaze calm as he looked at the furious An Sheng Xin, speaking in a tone as still as an ancient well.
"Holy Son, you are obsessed."
The old man also could not bear to watch, so he appeared to advise.
Originally his duty was merely to protect An Sheng Xin's safety; for other matters he had no authority to decide for her.
After all, if not for the Grand Ancestor of the Ultimate Bliss Palace's own circumstances limiting him, he would not have become An Sheng Xin's Protector of the Way.
But ever since Ye Zhangqing and his two companions beat him up in Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng, An Sheng Xin has seemed like a completely different person.
He has become foolish, decadent, irritable; the former calm, confidence, and air of a contemporary monster have all but vanished.
Secretly observing An Sheng Xin's every move these days, the old man says claiming he is not disappointed would be a lie.
Could such deeds be done by a venerable contemporary monster?
Originally, An Sheng Xin's raising of ghost pets and practicing the ghost‑pet arts already amounted to deviating from the orthodox path.
That's fine, but during this period, An Sheng Xin repeatedly sent ghost pets into Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng—what a foolish operation.
He harbored anger, wanting revenge—why go to such lengths? A face‑to‑face battle would suffice. As a peerless Yāoniè of the age, does he lack even this bit of confidence?
He insists on using these underhanded tricks behind the scenes—this is not what a true man does.
Seeing the old man's look of frustrated disappointment, An Sheng Xin also quickly calmed down.
His face flushed involuntarily, and he immediately gritted his teeth and performed the salute.
"I know I was wrong."
"Holy Son, there's no need for this; I, the old servant, merely wish to say that victory and defeat are commonplace—what's wrong with losing? The one who laughs last is the true victor."
"Yes."
Under the old man's lecture, An Sheng Xin also seemed to come to his senses, realizing how absurd his recent actions had been.
He immediately abandoned the idea of continuing to dispatch ghost pets there.
Only his hatred for Ye Zhangqing had already grown to an extreme degree.
"Ah‑choo............"
Inside a city not far from Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng, Ye Zhangqing in the room suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose and said strangely.
"Who's cursing me?"
Ye Zhangqing had no idea what An Sheng Xin was doing, nor did he know that he had sent so many batches of ghost pets to Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng.
In the city he had arrived at the previous day, during the daytime Ye Zhangqing personally held command and recruited several maidservants.
They were all female cultivators with clean backgrounds.
Moreover, there was an unexpected joy: he accepted a girl with decent talent, who was also quick‑witted.
After talking, Ye Zhangqing felt this girl could be cultivated; the only trouble was that she somehow carried some problems.
But these problems were nothing to Ye Zhangqing and could be resolved.
"Forget it; anyway, he's also a talent."
He planned to help the girl rid herself of all her troubles tomorrow.
