The Old Celestial Master and Zuo Ci settled down. The old man immediately spotted the little white creature playing with Huang Yimeng as he entered the room.
So many days had passed. Although Zuo Ci was unable to resolve the Zao Zhu Zhi Shu, he had ultimately managed to prevent this spell from further eroding the little one's body and soul. Huang Yimeng's dazed eyes glanced at the Old Celestial Master, her breathing becoming somewhat heavy. She was a Huo Yang Shi, and the Old Celestial Master, with his mastery of Thunder Technique, exuded a righteous aura that felt overwhelming to her.
"Dear benefactor, let me take a look!" The Old Celestial Master lovingly cradled the little white creature in his arms, a hint of sorrow reflected in his gaze. Clearly, as the Dragon Tiger Celestial Master of Tian Yi Dao, he was aware of the plans set forth by those above.
In order to not only dissolve the Sha Qi created by the Easterners but also transform it into fortune to nourish the entire Magic City, that Feng Shui Master from the Thirteenth Division had employed ruthless methods for what he believed to be a national cause. While his intentions might have been noble, the means were not something he could commend.
Sacrificing oneself for the greater good—this was neither a traditional virtue nor a glorious act. The Celestial Three Aspects and Guanyin Sitting on Lotus were not mere symbols; they represented ideals that seemed increasingly distant in such times.
Holding the little white creature close, after taking a seat in the hall, he gently stroked her fluffy head. His expression darkened as he said, "This is truly absurd! For the sake of the country, can one treat living beings as mere materials to be exploited? How is this any different from Evil Practices?"
Coughing lightly, he added, "Old Celestial Master, isn't it somewhat unbecoming of you to break dishes in front of the cook?"
"Forgive me, I'm getting old, and my mind isn't as sharp as it used to be. My apologies!"
The Old Celestial Master chuckled and said, "Daoist Zuo, you truly haven't disappointed me. People say you are ruthless, but I beg to differ; you simply follow your own rules. It's the rules of this world that have become chaotic!"
Zuo Bei respectfully brought over a cup of tea and offered it to him. His hands trembled as he handed over the tea, not out of excitement, but out of fear. His cultivation was limited, merely at the Juejing stage, and at this moment, he felt as though he was facing not a person, but a thunderous storm. The Yin Qi within him shrank back in trepidation.
Is this the Old Celestial Master, the leader of the Righteous Path who has battled demons for ten years? I am genuinely curious. Although the Celestial Three Aspects serve well as Furnace Cauldrons, those above wouldn't lack for such things, right? As far as I know, while innate Furnace Cauldrons are precious, the acquired ones are equally impressive and their numbers are controllable!
Zuo Ci took a sip of tea and smiled. "Actually, this girl is not meant to be used as a Furnace Cauldron!"
The Old Celestial Master sighed and replied with a bitter smile, "She has been chosen to become a sacrifice for the Ritual Feng Shui Form Sha. This is an ultimate water formation set up by a highly skilled Feng Shui Master from the Dao Realm, creating an artificial Kunlun within the building to nurture the Water Dragon Vein. These girls are all offerings for the Water Dragon Vein!"
Indeed, the Old Celestial Master was aware of the underlying truth. Zuo Ci's eyelids twitched slightly. Even someone as righteous and vengeful as the Old Celestial Master turned a blind eye to this situation. Here he was, inadvertently caught up in it due to his Deviant Arts. It felt rather amusing.
Interfering in others' affairs? Perhaps not! It was just that this little girl's gaze resembled someone he didn't wish to mention—a past acquaintance that even Zuo Ci preferred to forget. It seems that Zuo Certain Person has meddled where he shouldn't have! Zuo Ci chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Not at all!
