Chapter 630: Heizhu: Boss, Look Who I Found

Facing the heavenly being's inquiry, Li Ang did not answer immediately.

If he remembered correctly, the other party should be called Heizhu.

But in the original plot, the other party should now be digging for Pan Nanjun with the next heir of Jiujie Sect at Dongtinghu—how did they end up in this remote Sanchuan Town?

'Where exactly did things go off track?'

As this thought flashed through his mind, Li Ang began recalling everything he had done since arriving in this world.

Although he had intervened in many affairs, he should not have altered the specific course of events.

Seeing Li Ang remain silent for so long, Heizhu's eyes flickered with a hint of wariness.

The reason was simple: she could not fathom the true nature of this suddenly appearing thin figure, and even vaguely sensed an inexplicable threat.

要知道 she was a Great Divine Ability seeker; very few in the Divine Ability world could evoke such a feeling in her.

Just as Heizhu was about to ask again about the identity of the person below, Zhao Yan suddenly spoke: "You're right—I clearly won't live to see my sister awaken."

He was no fool; he naturally knew that the one now controlling Bai Xiaoxiao's body was her elder behind the scenes.

Too bad the other seemed unwilling to act—otherwise they wouldn't have appeared only after the battle ended.

With a touch of regret, Zhao Yan continued: "I'll leave the rest to you. If you can, spare that young boy."

As he spoke, he pointed to Gao Haoguang, who still stood firm despite his wounds.

Hearing this, the gray-haired boy froze in surprise—he had never expected his former enemy to say such a thing.

From the conversation of the three nearby, he realized the Famen corpse was nearing death.

After delivering his final words, Zhao Yan walked alone along the path toward the mountain peak.

Seeing this, Li Ang's expression turned strangely uneasy.

It seemed the Supreme of Wangchuan Art Academy had already made his peace—but Li Ang would not let him die so easily.

But there were still outsiders present; he'd deal with them first before acting.

At this moment, Heizhu, having heard the dialogue between Li Ang and Zhao Yan, furrowed her brows slightly.

This mysterious person was clearly familiar with a Famen corpse—either he was one himself, or he harbored ambitions as great as Jiujie Sect's.

'Interesting. I never expected the Divine Ability world still hid someone like this. I must report this incident to the Sect Master.'

As for why she was here, it was naturally because of the mysterious Famen corpse that had stirred up massive Ten Thousand Karma True Blood.

After the Sect Master issued the order, she was assigned to monitor this region, so news of an unknown strong fighter's clash in Sanchuan Town quickly reached her through Jiujie Sect disciples.

What she discovered filled her with surprise—or rather, shock.

A Famen corpse that had only recently awakened, a mysterious person whose depth she couldn't fathom, and a beginner seeker capable of killing outright?

Heizhu looked down at the gray-haired boy, his face streaked with blood, and her expression turned astonished.

Such a promising talent should belong to Jiujie Sect!

With this thought, the Great Divine Ability seeker slightly curled her lips and softly asked: "Young one, would you like to join Jiujie Sect?"

"Don't waste your talent in some Xiaomenxiao Sect—Jiujie Sect has many Great Divine Abilities; I'm sure they'd all be eager to teach you."

Hearing this, a question mark slowly appeared above Li Ang's head.

He thought he'd heard some colossal joke—Jiujie Sect was trying to recruit the Wu Dao Ji Fa Demon Lord? In the future, no one would believe such a thing.

At that moment, Datou and the master-disciple trio arrived on the scene.

The moment they arrived, they heard Heizhu's words.

Jiujie Sect?!

As seekers, they knew Jiujie Sect intimately—it was the strongest seeking sect in the entire Divine Ability world!

At this moment, Gao Haoguang's master looked at his disciple with a complex expression.

His name was Ma Chao, the 217th Sect Master of Sanzhenfa Sect.

To be honest, he had always believed his talent was unfit to inherit Sanzhenfa Sect.

He had only become Sect Master because, years ago, a Famen corpse slaughtered the entire sect, leaving him as the sole survivor thanks to the protection of his fellow disciples.

Because of this, Ma Chao had always feared he would hold Gao Haoguang back—he simply lacked the ability to properly guide him.

Thus, faced with Jiujie Sect's offer, he had no confidence to step forward and dissuade his disciple from accepting.

"Master."

Hearing his disciple's worried voice, Ma Chao forced a smile and reassured him: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"But if Haoguang—"

Before he could finish, a weak voice drew everyone's attention.

Gao Haoguang looked up at the black-haired woman and answered with an Extremely solemn expression: "I appreciate your kindness, but I already have a master—I must decline."

He refused.

Hearing this, Ma Chao felt a sudden relief—but also wondered if accepting might have been the better choice for his young disciple.

Heizhu was not surprised by the boy's answer—his demeanor clearly indicated he already had a master.

Too bad

She was Jiujie Sect.

If soft methods wouldn't work, then force was the only option.

This, of course, was her decision after hearing Ma Chao's words.

A fallen sect. A master burdened with guilt.

If she took the boy back to Jiujie Sect, trained him well, and gave slight care to the three weaklings nearby, Jiujie Sect would surely gain another loyal, powerful disciple.

Jiujie Sect would never have too many strong disciples.
