Chapter 622: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Art Style? Chapter 295

Moreover, based on his observations, she possessed the potential to awaken her innate divine ability, making it seem indeed a good choice for her to inherit the 【Wangchuan Art Academy】.

Provided there is no interference from the original owner of the script.

Thinking of the girl's mysterious elder, Zhao Yan silently sighed in his heart.

Before confirming what the other party truly intends to do, it's best to endure for now.

After a brief silence, Zhao Yan spoke: "Use a divine ability on this thing—see if you can control it."

Since this little girl is an ordinary person, he could shift his approach.

Compared to an uncontrollable fa corpse, cooperating with an ordinary person was more acceptable to him.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered and began activating the 【Jieyuan Zhenmu】.

As if sensing imminent danger, the unnamed fa corpse began thrashing violently, its form constantly shifting.

Bird-body with a human face, snake-body with a human face, ape-body with a human face.

【Feiqin Zoushoushen】—this was its innate divine ability.

Too bad a dying camel is still bigger than a horse; this mere fa corpse, not even qualifying as a mid-level divine ability, could never be a match for the 【Huitian Xueshen】.

As the crimson light sank into its body, the fa corpse began trembling uncontrollably.

Unlike when she had manipulated those villagers in Heishancun, Bai Xiaoxiao now felt immense strain.

Fortunately, this fa corpse was not Zhao Yan; soon, a crimson pupil appeared on its forehead.

After successfully controlling the fa corpse, Bai Xiaoxiao gasped for breath several times.

Only because she had been strengthened by Li Ang could she, who wasn't even a qualified seeker, manage to control a fa corpse.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan raised an eyebrow: "Success?"

"Mm," Bai Xiaoxiao nodded weakly, "but there is no way to use its innate divine ability—only control its limbs."

"Too bad."

Too bad what?!

Li Ang, hiding within 【Tian Zhi Yu Zhong】, heard their conversation and felt utterly speechless.

If 【Jieyuan Zhenmu】 could even manipulate divine abilities, it should just be renamed 【Wuwo Faxiang】, since that divine ability—belonging to the strongest henchman of Wan Ye—can indeed do exactly that.

With a faintly exasperated mood, Li Ang glanced at his body slowly healing under the effect of 【Reverse Birth: Three Layers】, letting out a barely audible sigh.

This was the karmic punishment he'd suffered shortly before when speaking with Zhao Yan, since the fellow was deeply connected to that Wu Dao Ji Fa Demon Lord.

In a certain sense, Zhao Yan could even be called the other's second master, and the 【Huitian Xueshen】 was one of the key points by which Sanzhenfa Sect could one day outmaneuver Wan Ye.

Fortunately, according to current developments, that Wu Dao Ji Fa Demon Lord still has a chance to learn 【Huitian Xueshen】, which is why karma hasn't directly struck him dead.

Of course, Li Ang had long anticipated this—if Zhao Yan had simply agreed to his proposal just now, he would have left behind the 【Huitian Xueshen】 scripture to prevent unforeseen outcomes.

After all, as long as the 【Huitian Xueshen】 scripture reaches Gao Haoguang—that Wu Dao Ji Fa Demon Lord—he will 100% be able to cultivate it.

Not because of talent, but because some Storyteller wrote it that way.

What? Did Master Gao Haoguang ever obtain the 【Huitian Xueshen】 scripture?

Then it's simple—since Master Gao Haoguang never clearly stated whether he learned it, he must have learned it!

Recalling the other's tactics, Li Ang couldn't help pulling at the corner of his mouth.

But having said that, the 【Huitian Xueshen】 has enormous room for manipulation, which is one reason he had Bai Xiaoxiao join the Wangchuan Art Academy.

As long as no one witnesses it, he can just make up whatever he wants under the concealment of 【Dalu Dongguan】.

Just like Zhao Yan.

Though this fellow indeed died in the original story, no one actually witnessed his death.

When things reach that point, he has many ways to deceive karma.

Same with Shangguan Xiao.

The only thing Li Ang found slightly regrettable was that Shangguan Xiao was deeply tied to the Storyteller—she'd still have to perform certain actions at key moments.

She might even have to die—once.

As for now—

Just as Zhao Yan was carefully instructing Bai Xiaoxiao on how to control the fa corpse to eliminate those hooligans, a bronze mask suddenly fell from thin air before them.

【This mask can help you conceal your identity.】

Watching the characters drift away in the wind, Zhao Yan scratched his head.

He wanted to say—wouldn't wearing a mask draw even more attention?

With a peculiar feeling, he picked up the mask and handed it to Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao took the mask, glanced at it briefly, and suddenly felt a flash of insight.

【After putting on this mask, you are no longer Bai Xiaoxiao—you are the current Supreme of the Wangchuan Art Academy.】

Hearing the voice in her mind, the girl's face darkened instantly.

This wasn't insight—it was that person nagging incessantly.

Still, in the end, she chose to put on the mask.

As Bai Xiaoxiao donned the mask, Zhao Yan suddenly realized she had vanished from his perception.

She was right before his eyes, yet his perception registered nothing but emptiness.

"."

Does this little girl's elder have something like this?!

Zhao Yan couldn't help scratching his head, then asked with a slightly pleading tone: "Could you also give one to your little brother?"

【Yours is still being made.】

"I see."

Watching the characters before him, the young man couldn't help feeling disappointed.

This was naturally fake.

Given Li Ang's current production capacity, he could casually whip out many of these little props.

The reason Zhao Yan didn't get one was simply because there was still a big scene later that required this guy to act in it, and Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't reveal her true identity in that scene.

Li Ang didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if that Wudao Jifa Demon Lord discovered this little girl wasn't dead.

Honestly, he wasn't even sure whether a Karmic Retribution punishment would appear.

After all, Bai Xiaoxiao had indeed died, but had been pulled back up by him.

Just as the two of them—one big, one small—finished their discussion and decided to take advantage of the dark to deal with that gang of local ruffians, Zhao Yan suddenly froze on the spot.

He looked at his left arm, where a pale blue magic seal had risen, and his expression instantly became extremely solemn.

"Sanzhen Sky-Pursuing Imperial Seal"

This was the mark planted by his old friend back then, meant to prevent certain seekers of the law and law corpses from rising.

Such as himself.

And once such a situation occurred, this mark would guide Sanzhen Sect disciples to the area where the mark holder was.

Then deliver heavenly punishment upon these beings.
