Chapter 79: On the Eve of Reckoning

Very quickly, inside the Earth Temple where the young Daoist boy stood.

He looked at the God Statue that was completely cracked and even partially collapsed, his complexion turning livid. Who on earth was so bold as to actually ruin the God Statue he had painstakingly built!

The Temple Keeper beside him was extremely terrified, kneeling down and kowtowing.

At the time, they were still enjoying the pleasure of collecting money and hadn't noticed this matter at all. Never did they expect it would lead to such a great disaster; they truly deserved to die.

"Speak, what exactly happened just now? Who did it!" The young Daoist boy suppressed the rage in his heart, turned his head to look at these Temple Keepers kneeling on the ground, and said slowly.

These Temple Keepers hurriedly told the young Daoist boy what had just happened, while quickly shirking responsibility and talking about other things. In their view, although this young Daoist boy was the one behind the renovation of the Temple, he was just a child after all.

Perhaps they could fool him.

After hearing the words of these Temple Keepers, the young Daoist boy closed his eyes, and the anger in his heart erupted with a boom. Did these mud-legged peasants really take him for a fool? It was clearly their lack of vigilance that allowed the person behind it to succeed, and yet they dared to shirk responsibility?

"Everyone, let this Daoist see how your fortune is."

The young Daoist boy spoke indifferently and began to calculate directly. The Temple Keepers beside him felt very strange; why did it shift to fortune again? What did this have to do with fortune?

"Oh, your fortune today is bad; you ought to die."

With a wave of his small hand, the Temple Keepers, who were still in the midst of confusion and surprise, instantly turned into fly ash and, after a gust of wind blew past, dissipated between Heaven and Earth.

The young Daoist boy frowned; were they not among these few? But they were just mud-legged peasants anyway; if they died, they died. The matter of the Earth Deity Statue collecting Source Power concerned his future plans. Since they dared to destroy the God Statue, they had to pay the corresponding price!

He intended to use a Secret Technique to track them.

At this moment, the sound of bells drew closer.

Shangguan Yan also arrived in front of this Earth Temple and saw the young Daoist boy standing inside. However, confident that she could not be seen through, she began to observe as if no one else were there.

She frowned; why was it an Earth Temple?

Was this the place where that Strange briefly appeared?

But she looked around and found nothing unusual. It was just that the God Statue in this Earth Temple was a bit too miserable; she wondered which powerhouse had smashed it.

With no gains, her gaze could not help but turn toward this young Daoist boy.

This little fellow might know something... he actually looked quite delicate. Looking at the young Daoist boy's tender face, Shangguan Yan licked her lips with her tongue.

Come to think of it, it had been a while since she tasted a little chick...

Shangguan Yan smiled enchantingly and manifested her form directly, appearing brightly in front of the young Daoist boy, her snow-white skin exposed to the air, appearing delicate.

But to her surprise.

This young Daoist boy did not show the shock or the "do not look at what is improper" expression of a monk as she had expected, but instead watched her very calmly.

She secretly thought to herself that things were not looking good.

"Where did this little Weird come from, daring to block this Daoist's line of sight."

The young Daoist boy waved his large hand, and the Divine Dao Power within his body erupted with a boom, wanting to grind Shangguan Yan into nothingness directly.

Just at this critical moment, Shangguan Yan finally reacted, jumped with a nimble body, landed outside the Earth Temple, and looked at this young Daoist boy with great horror.

One who hunts hawks all day, only to forget what a hawk looks like.

"You are actually from the Wang Family!"

Shangguan Yan said with a solemn expression.

Immediately, her mind stirred, and her Ghost Domain unfolded directly, encompassing the young Daoist boy within it; this little fellow might be the one who took her Weird, so she could not let him go.

The young Daoist boy did not make any move, only showing disdain; could the Ghost Domain of a mere little Weird trap him? Did she think she was that damned Great Demoness?

"You do have some insight, knowing I am a person of the Wang Family; it seems you are relatively strong among the little Weirds. Speak, who destroyed the Earth Deity Statue here?"

"Was it you, or the person behind you."

The young Daoist boy said indifferently, regarding the Shangguan Yan before him as an ant, like an Immortal God high above looking down upon all things.

In the distance, Li Heng opened his Heavenly Eye to observe all of this. Although there was a Ghost Domain blocking the way now, he had just painfully added ten points of Source Power to his Heavenly Eye and forcibly upgraded it.

Although the lack of a Visualization Diagram and his own lack of careful visualization and construction meant this improvement was very small, it was still enough to pierce through the Ghost Domain and see the things inside.

Interesting, two factions have popped out.

Li Heng smiled lightly; the Wang Family mentioned by that female Weird should be a Transcendental Family. It seemed the Earth Deity Power Crystal he obtained earlier originated from the Wang Family?

"What God Statue or not."

Shangguan Yan frowned, not understanding what this young Daoist boy was talking about. Could it be that this person from a Transcendental Family before her was angry because of the collapse of that God Statue?

She thought rapidly and considered a possibility.

Could it be... that the Strange ruined the God Statue and was then taken by this person from a Transcendental Family who arrived? The more she thought, the more she felt it was possible.

In her heart, she could not help but start cursing that Strange.

Letting it spread among ordinary people, she never expected it to provoke a Transcendental Family; even if it wanted to provoke a Transcendental Family, it should have waited until it had developed properly!

Shangguan Yan felt bitter in her heart. If she had known, she would have taken a little risk and personally monitored every move of that Strange; who knew it would lead to this kind of trouble.

"Oh? It seems you don't know?"

"Interesting. Forget it, I can't be bothered to care whether you know or not. Since you, a little Weird, dare to run in front of this Daoist, then I will just clean you up to save the annoyance."

While in the Ghost Domain, the young Daoist boy was not panicked at all; vast divine power surged out, erupting with a terrifying aura that even began to disturb the surrounding Ghost Domain, making it unstable.

Shangguan Yan frowned; Half-step Innate combat power? She really had provoked big trouble, but fortunately, she could handle it.

You have divine power, and I have divine power too.

She smiled enchantingly, directly manifested Earth Deity Power with her Weird body, and then empowered herself, her strength also suddenly soaring to the Half-step Innate realm.

This is... Earth Deity Power?

The young Daoist boy carefully sensed the aura and frowned; why did this Weird also have the power of the Wang Family? Could it be...

"How bold, daring to steal the Divine Dao Power of my Wang Family!"

He was suddenly furious.

Li Heng, watching from afar, was still surprised, but upon hearing the young Daoist boy's words, he suddenly understood everything. No wonder the female Weird avatar could drop a Divine Power Crystal back then.

So it was stolen from this Wang Family?

"So what if I stole it? You are quite good-looking, little Daoist priest. Would you like to have a bit of fun with me?"

Shangguan Yan smiled enchantingly, looking very pleased.

"Hmph! You're courting death!"

The little Daoist boy's expression turned gloomy. Ignoring the fact that he was still suffering from Emptiness, he unleashed his Innate combat power, intending to crush this little Weird who had insulted their Wang Family.

Oh no! Innate!

Shangguan Yan was greatly alarmed. Being cautious, she made a prompt decision, instantly detonating her charming body and transforming into a wisp of green light to flee far away.

The Ghost Domain shattered, and the little Daoist boy stood there, somewhat dazed. Is this Weird really such a coward? He had intended to crush her himself, but she had just blown herself up.

In the distance, Li Heng smiled slightly.

Run? Can she really run?

He had already used the Ten Thousand Li Soul Pursuit to lock onto her aura.

It is time to settle everything!
