Chapter 366: Another Dual Cultivator
“If our analysis is correct, then this woman named Na Luo definitely is not as innocent and harmless as she appears.”
“The siege battle 800 years ago must have left indelible painful memories in her mind. After experiencing that, few people can still harbor good intentions towards this world. When this girl came to the Divine Realm Academy to study, I’m afraid she has other intentions.”
Hearing the Grand State Mentor’s evaluation of Na Luo, Yu Huang was in no hurry to defend her good friend.
She thought about Na Luo’s actions in the past two years and realized that she had never done anything evil.
Yu Huang still felt a little biased towards Na Luo. She said, “Foster father, is it possible that she just wants to be a normal person who studies and makes friends.”
Hearing how protective Yu Huang was of the girl called Na Luo, the Grand State Mentor didn’t deny it.
He only asked Yu Huang a question. “If you saved a person because of a moment of kindness, but in the end, because of that person, you suffered a calamity and were forced to self-destruct, can you still face this world with good intentions? Can you really let go of your hatred?”
The Grand State Mentor’s tone was very calm, but Yu Huang was rendered speechless by the Grand State Mentor’s question.
To be fair, she couldn’t.
She couldn’t do it. Naturally, it would be difficult for Na Luo to do it as well.
The Grand State Mentor suddenly asked Yu Huang, “Do you have Na Luo’s token?”
“Yes!” Yu Huang took out a Night-Luminescent Pearl and a sea snail and handed them to the Grand State Mentor. “These are all things that Na Luo gave me. This sea snail also contains some of Na Luo’s spirit energy.”
“It’s enough.”
The Grand State Mentor took the conch and Night-Luminescent Pearl and suddenly shouted, “Lin An.”
His disciple, Lin An, walked in from outside the house and removed the teapot and teacups on the table.
The Grand State Mentor placed the two items on the clean table and released the tortoise-shaped divination device.
The fortune-teller floated above the conch and Night-Luminescent Pearl. Just as the Grand State Mentor injected a trace of spiritual force into the fortune-teller, the fortune-teller slowly turned in the void.
At the same time, traces of dark golden radiance flickered in the Grand State Mentor’s eyes.
Yu Huang looked into the Grand State Mentor’s eyes and heard Sheng Xiao say, “When your Eternal Eye awakens, there will be a dark golden light in your eyes.”
Yu Huang herself didn’t know that there would be such a change when she awakened the Eternal Eye.
The fortune teller revolved faster and faster, and in the end, it was actually a little difficult to see clearly. At the same time, the golden light in the Grand State Mentor’s eyes became more and more intense. At a certain moment, an eye formed from spirit energy suddenly flew out of the Divination Tower and looked towards the distant mountain.
It was unknown what he saw, but Yu Huang realized that the Grand State Mentor’s hands, which were resting on the table, were actually trembling.
A moment later, that eye returned to the Grand State Mentor’s body. The Grand State Mentor suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood that landed on the table.
“Godfather!”
“Grand State Mentor!”
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao got up at the same time and walked around the table to support the Grand State Mentor.
Yu Huang grabbed a handkerchief from the table and helped the Grand State Mentor wipe the blood. The Grand State Mentor shook his head and said, “I don’t have the Eternal Eye. Every time I predict the future, I will suffer a backlash. It’s fine. I’ll be fine after resting for a few days.”
Yu Huang possessed the Eternal Eye. Whether it was looking back at the past or predicting the future, she didn’t have to pay a price.
The Grand State Mentor didn’t have the Eternal Eye. Normally, when he used the power of divination, he wouldn’t suffer any obvious backlash. However, once he foresaw something that was about to happen in the future, he would be punished by the heavens. At best, he would vomit blood and be injured. At worst, he would lose his life or fall into a coma.
The Grand State Mentor narrowed his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he asked Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao to return to their seats.
The two of them returned to their seats and sat down. When the Grand State Mentor’s breathing returned to normal, Yu Huang then asked the Grand State Mentor, “Godfather, what did you see just now?”
The Grand State Mentor hesitated for a moment before saying with a trembling voice, “I saw that the seawater of the Xixia Ocean was completely dyed red with blood. Countless merman corpses were floating on the sea surface. With the death of Prime Emperor Dino, the merman race was annihilated!”
Both Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang narrowed their eyes.
Yu Huang pinched the table in front of her and stared at the beautiful conch. She asked in disbelief, “Was it Na Luo?”
The Grand State Mentor said, “I only saw the ending of the merman race after the dust settled.” His abilities were limited, so he could only see the result and not the process.
The Grand State Mentor picked up the conch on the table and said, “Although I didn’t see the figure of the woman called Na Luo, I saw the future of the merfolk through her token. No matter what, the extermination of the merfolk is related to Na Luo.”
Seeing the Grand State Mentor’s heavy gaze, Yu Huang immediately had a bad guess. “Godfather, what are you going to do?”
“This matter concerns the survival of the merman race. I have to inform Prime Emperor Dino about this.” The Grand State Mentor looked at Yu Huang with a complicated expression and said, “Ah Huang, to be able to foresee the future is a gift from the heavens to us and also his punishment. You see, we who foresee the future are the people who will feel the most pain in our hearts.”
“I won’t ask you to kill Na Luo, but since I know the ending of the merman race, I can’t pretend to be ignorant.”
Yu Huang instantly felt her heart ache when she heard this.
Being able to foresee the future wasn’t a good thing.
“Alright, it’s settled. You guys can go back.”
“… Okay.”
After she left the Divination Tower, Yu Huang’s expression turned even more solemn. She sat in the passenger seat and fell into a daze.
Sheng Xiao was driving. He could guess what Yu Huang was worried about. “You’re worried about Na Luo, aren’t you?”
Yu Huang didn’t deny it. “I’ve always felt that Na Luo wasn’t completely blinded by hatred. I think that Na Luo is not the kind of person who would wipe out the entire merman race for revenge.”
Sheng Xiao said, “The Grand State Mentor only saw the ending of the merman race and not the process. So, many things might have happened during this process.”
Yu Huang knew that Sheng Xiao had a point. She wanted to see Na Luo’s future clearly, but she wasn’t capable enough now.
Yu Huang once again felt a sense of powerlessness.
Right at this moment, the conch in Yu Huang’s hand suddenly sounded.
This was the first time the sea snail sounded automatically.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao looked at each other. Sheng Xiao quickly stopped the car by the side of the road. He said, “Is it Na Luo?”
Yu Huang heaved a sigh of relief and placed the conch beside her ear.
Yu Huang heard the sound of the waves and Na Luo’s breathing. She shouted, “Na Luo?”
After a long time, Yu Huang heard Na Luo say, “The Eternal Eye can see the past and foresee the future. It looks like your Eternal Eye has improved a lot.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Huang’s mind buzzed, as if she had been struck by a hammer.
Not many people knew that Yu Huang possessed the Eternal Eye. Even Sheng Yang didn’t know. How did Na Luo know?
In an instant, countless crazy and bold thoughts flashed through Yu Huang’s mind.
“You…” Just as Yu Huang opened her mouth to say the word ‘you’, Na Luo spoke, but her words made Yu Huang’s scalp tingle.” Yu Huang, do you still remember the underground Blood Peacock Battlefield? ”
Yu Huang’s eyes widened!
The underground Blood Peacock Battlefield! Could the black-robed woman who had appeared on the top floor of the capital and brought her to the underground Blood Peacock Battlefield be Na Luo?
“You… you are that black-robed woman?” Yu Huang’s voice trembled.
Na Luo smiled and didn’t deny Yu Huang’s guess.
Na Luo said, “Yu Huang, you really surprise me all the time. I really didn’t expect you to Mentor control of the Eternal Eye so quickly. In that case, this game has lost its meaning.”
Hearing Na Luo’s words, Yu Huang felt even more awkward. “Game?” She asked stiffly, “Tell me, when did this game begin?”
“When did it begin?” Na Luo chuckled.
The sound of the waves seemed to be even louder. Yu Huang heard Na Luo say, “From the day you appeared in Rakshasa Empire, every move you made has been noticed by me.”
“An 18-year-old girl actually dared to jump into the Purgatory Sea alone. You even successfully refined the Butterfly Queen and advanced from a rookie to a Level 2 Purifying Spirit Mentor in a short two months. Yu Huang, your talent in purification is really amazing.”
At that time, Yu Huang had only attracted Na Luo’s attention and had not aroused her interest.
“When I found out that the number one genius of our continent risked his life to go to the black dome to snatch the Purifying Spirit Sacred Pearl just to help you get rid of the Spirit Restraining Parasite and help you awaken your beast form, you completely piqued my interest.”
Na Luo said with a sigh, “A girl whose body had been planted with Spirit Restraining Parasite since she was young successfully removed the Spirit Restraining Parasite and awakened the super beast form. She even became a Purifying Spirit Mentor and became a rare dual cultivation Mentor.”
“Yu Huang, you’re really the most talented human I’ve seen in the Holy Spirit Continent.” In order to get close to Yu Huang and find out how special this girl was, Na Luo went to the Divine Realm Academy.
Living in the same dormitory as her and becoming friends with her was all within Na Luo’s plan.
There was too much information in Na Luo’s words. For a moment, Yu Huang’s thoughts were a mess. She quickly calmed down and analyzed the information hidden in Na Luo’s words word by word.
Soon, Yu Huang calmly pointed out: “Not many people know about the Spirit Restraining Parasite in my body. If you know, it means that you’ve known me for a long time and know that I was planted with it since I was young.”
“So, the person who secretly planted the Spirit Restraining Parasite on the children was the Blood Peacock Organization, right?”
The smile on Na Luo’s face became even more brilliant.
She sat on the reef and swayed her tail gently along with the sea waves. The swing of her tail was clearly very small, but it stirred up waves that were dozens of meters high five hundred kilometers away.
The entire sky was gradually covered by dark clouds, as if a storm was about to hit.
Na Luo stared at her dark golden fishtail. She, who was in a good mood, answered Yu Huang’s question. “Yes, the Blood Peacock Organization planted the Spirit Restraining Parasite.”
After her suspicion was confirmed, Yu Huang wasn’t shocked.
Na Luo also asked Yu Huang a question. She said, “Yu Huang, you found me last night and deliberately mentioned what happened 800 years ago in front of me. Actually, you weren’t concerned about my safety. You were testing my identity, right?”
Yu Huang didn’t deny it and said with certainty, “You’re that ancient mermaid, right? Your beast form isn’t your mother at all but your original body, right?”
“Hehe.” Na Luo’s laughter became even louder. “Yes, you’re right!”
“Yu Huang, help me tell Yang Yang that I like her a lot. She’s really the purest and most interesting girl I’ve ever seen. Tell her that even if I kill all the beast tamers in the world, I won’t hurt her. She’ll always be my friend.”
With that, Na Luo was about to hang up.
Sensing that Na Luo was about to hang up, Sheng Xiao suddenly snatched the conch from Yu Huang’s hand and said anxiously, “Na Luo, don’t hang up yet. I have one last question!”
When Na Luo heard Sheng Xiao’s voice, she let out a fake cry of surprise. “Oh, Professor Sheng, you’re so smart, but you want to ask me? Tell me, what do you want to know?”
Na Luo was in a good mood. She decided to answer Sheng Xiao’s question.
Sheng Xiao took out a strand of long, fair hair from his interspatial ring. He narrowed his eyes and asked a bold question. “Is there a second dual cultivator in this world besides Yu Huang?”
The smile on Na Luo’s lips immediately disappeared.
Her tail, which was patting the sea, also stopped.
Yu Huang looked up at Sheng Xiao in shock.
What did Sheng Xiao mean?
What was he suspecting?
Suddenly, there was no sound of breathing in the conch, and no one said anything. One could only hear the sound of the sea breeze.
When Sheng Xiao was losing his patience, he finally heard Na Luo’s reply.
Na Luo didn’t answer his question. “People who are too smart usually don’t have a good ending. Sheng Xiao, you asked this question because you know the answer.”
“Sheng Xiao, if you were born 600 years ago, that person wouldn’t have been your match. It’s a pity that you were born at the wrong time…” With those ambiguous words, Na Luo hung up directly.
The sea snail was completely calm again.
Sheng Xiao held the conch and said nothing for a long time.
Yu Huang asked her, “Who are you suspecting?”
Sheng Xiao said nothing. He looked up in the direction of the Purifying Spirit Academy’s headquarters in the capital city and raised his left hand.
Yu Huang saw a strand of long, snow-white hair.
She stared at the hair and thought about it carefully. Then, she remembered that this was the hair that the Blood Peacock had accidentally shed when they met the Blood Peacock in Rakshasa Empire.
When she saw the hair and thought about the question Sheng Xiao had just asked, Yu Huang felt shocked.
“How is that possible!?” Yu Huang subconsciously rejected him. “We’ve seen the Blood Peacock in the Rakshasa Empire before. He’s a Beast Tamer, but that person is clearly a Purifying Spirit Mentor! How is that possible!?”
How could that person be a Dual Cultivator!?
Sheng Xiao understood her reaction.
Before this, he had denied his guess time and time again. “Search new n0vel. org on google” But Sheng Xiao believed in his intuition. Sometimes, the more impossible a guess was, the more likely it was.
Sheng Xiao said calmly, “Who in this world knows the Spirit Restraining Parasite best? Who hates beast tamers the most?”
Yu Huang pursed her lips tightly and didn’t dare to say that answer.
Seeing that Yu Huang was unwilling to face this most likely fact, Sheng Xiao analyzed the crazy and bold guesses in his mind for Yu Huang to hear. He said, “Su Xuanye was Su Tingxue’s personal disciple, and he’s also the child born from the union of a divine demon and a Beast Tamer. You told me before that Su Tingxue had talked to your mentor about Xuan Ye’s childhood. Didn’t you suspect that Xuan Ye’s mother was eaten by the Su family?”
Yu Huang nodded hesitantly. “… Yes.”
Sheng Xiao continued, “Su Xuanye hated the Su family and all the beast tamers in the world because of his mother’s death. So, he deliberately hid his identity as a beast Tamer and got close to Su Tingxue to learn the Spirit Purifying Technique. After he got the prescription for the Spirit Restraining Parasite from Su Tingxue, he deliberately planted the Spirit Restraining Parasite in the Su family so that there would be no more beast tamers in the Su family.”
“After all of this, he will pretend to be righteous and put all the blame on Su Tingxue. When Su Tingxue dies, no one will know everything he has done.”
Yu Huang’s heart palpitated when she heard this.
Even though Yu Huang felt that Sheng Xiao’s guess was absurd, her thumping heart was telling her that it was very possible that this absurd guess was the truth.
Sheng Xiao continued, “In the past six hundred years, he has deliberately hidden the fact that he is a Beast Tamer and wandered around the world as a Purifying Spirit Mentor. While he was purifying the world, he planted a Spirit Restraining Parasite in the dark to stop the appearance of Beast Tamers.”
“In that case, even if someone finds out about all of this in the future, no one will suspect him! After all, who would have thought that Xuan Ye, a level-nine Purifying Spirit Sage, was actually a Beast Tamer?”
Seeing that Yu Huang couldn’t process the truth, Sheng Xiao reminded her, “You still remember Li Nu from the Cong Lang Mystic Realm, don’t you? You remember what happened more than 300 years ago in the Cong Lang Mystic Realm, right?”
How couldn’t Yu Huang remember?
At that time, Xuan Ye had deliberately exposed Li Nu’s identity as a divine demon in front of a group of Beast Tamers. Then, he coldly watched the Beast Tamers catch Li Nu. When no one was paying attention, he had deliberately incited Li Nu’s anger and provoked her.
Li Nu activated the divine demon’s fury and killed several powerhouses in an instant.
This was indeed in line with how Su Xuanye hated Beast Tamers.
Seeing that Yu Huang was silent, Sheng Xiao knew that she still remembered all the details.
Sheng Xiao said, “Saint Xuan Ye used Li Nu to get rid of the beast tamers. In the next 300 years, Li Nu’s soul was contaminated by grievances and she killed many beast tamers intermittently. All of this was part of Xuan Ye’s plan.”
Yu Huang couldn’t deny Sheng Xiao’s guess.
“Even if your guess is true, how can we convince others? All of this is just what we analyzed according to some clues. Who will believe us?”
Compared to the two children in their twenties, everyone definitely trusted Xuan Ye’s character more.
In the past 600 years, Xuan Ye had always maintained the image of a saint who was compassionate to the world. Be it Lin Jiansheng or the dean of the Divine Realm Academy, they were all very respectful to Xuan Ye.
If she really wanted to expose Xuan Ye’s true colors, she had to show conclusive evidence.
Sheng Xiao couldn’t make up his mind.
He said, “We can discuss the specific approach with the Mentor.”
“I might as well do so.”
The two of them, who had intended to return to the Sheng family, turned around to look for Lin Jiansheng.
Lin Jiansheng didn’t dare to bring Kong Qing to the Purifying Spirit Academy’s headquarters to freeload. He was afraid that Su Xuanye would discover Kong Qing’s true identity and steal him away from him.
Fortunately, after he became Saint Ling Xiao, the king had rewarded him with a residence. They now had their own residence.
It was a villa. Lin Jiansheng felt that it was too wasteful to hire a helper. There wasn’t a single helper in the huge villa.
When Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao arrived at his villa, the father and son were mopping the floor in the hall with buckets and mops. Seeing that Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang were here, Lin Jiansheng quickly ordered them to help.
Yu Huang took the mop from Kong Qing and gave him some money to buy some snacks at the supermarket outside.
Kong Qing had long since learned human life skills. He took the money and ran out of the manor before taking the bus to the city to shop at the supermarket.
As soon as Kong Qing left, Lin Jiansheng said to them, “You deliberately sent Kong Qing away. What urgent matter do the two of you have to discuss with me about?”
Yu Huang hurriedly told Lin Jiansheng about Na Luo and their guesses. After hearing Yu Huang’s words and thinking about what Su Tingxue had said, Lin Jiansheng was instantly convinced.
After knowing that Su Xuanye was very likely to be a dual-cultivator, not to mention Lin Jiansheng, even Su Tingxue was frightened and ended her slumber.
She screamed crazily in Lin Jiansheng’s mind, “That jerk Xuan Ye is also a dual cultivation Mentor?”
Lin Jiansheng was so frightened that he trembled and the cloth in his hand fell to the ground.
“Senior Su, be quiet.” Lin Jiansheng picked up the rag on the ground and wrung the water dry. As he wiped the glass, he said, “It’s not impossible to make the world believe in Xuan Ye’s true colors.”
“Huh?”
Lin Jiansheng winked at them and said secretively, “Who is the person Xuan Ye is most afraid of meeting?”
Sheng Xiao understood what Lin Jiansheng meant. He said, “Senior Su, of course.”
“Then, if the news that Senior Su’s soul is still in the world is released, do you think Xuan Ye, who has a guilty conscience, can still sit still?”
Yu Huang understood Lin Jiansheng’s plan and immediately gave her a thumbs up. “Mentor, you’re so bad.”
“What’s so bad about that? That’s called being resourceful!” Lin Jiansheng glared at Yu Huang unhappily and continued, “Na Luo is a member of the Blood Peacock Organization. Sheng Xiao suspects Xuan Ye, and Xuan Ye must have found out about it. Xuan Ye is afraid that the truth will be exposed and will most likely attack you. For the next two days, try your best not to go out. Stay in the Sheng family. When the Saint Tomb is opened, go and participate in the Saint Tomb for training.”
“As for exposing Xuan Ye’s true colors, let me do it.”
Yu Huang subconsciously asked, “Mentor, what are you going to do?”
Lin Jiansheng said, “I have my ways.” Lin Jiansheng personally sent Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao back to Yufu City. He stayed for the night in Yufu City and left the next day.
That night, after Xuan Ye finished his lessons for the disciples, he returned to the lounge on the top floor alone.
He walked toward his room on the thick, soft carpet. Before he could open the door, he smelled the faint scent of the sea.
A look of surprise flashed past Xuan Ye’s eyes.
He waved his hand and created a soundproof wall on both sides of the corridor. Then, he pushed open the door and walked in.
In the living room of the lounge, a woman in a golden dress was standing in front of the window with her back facing him. Her blue hair fell to her waist, and her feet were beautiful.
Her feet looked like beautiful jade on the cashmere carpet.
Xuan Ye stared at the woman’s back for a moment and smiled. “Prime Emperor, why have you suddenly come?”
The woman turned around. It was the adult version of Na Luo.
Na Luo swayed her hips as she walked towards Xuan Ye. She pressed her fingers on Xuan Ye’s collarbone, and her red lips moved closer to Xuan Ye’s ear. She said softly, “I have bad news. Do you want to hear it?”
Xuan Ye lowered his eyes and stared at the beautiful face close to him. There was no emotion in his heart. “Prime Emperor, just say it.”
“The Young Master of the Sheng family asked me a question this morning.”
Xuan Ye frowned. “Sheng Xiao?”
“Yes.”
Xuan Ye asked curiously, “What question did he ask?”
Na Luo put her hands around Xuan Ye’s neck and hugged him. She smiled and said, “He asked me if there were other Dual Cultivators in this world besides Yu Huang.”
Xuan Ye narrowed his eyes. “He’s very smart to guess that.”
“Yes.” Na Luo released Xuan Ye’s neck and took a step back. She crossed her arms and asked Xuan Ye, “That child knows too much. Do you want to…” Na Luo placed her hand on her neck and made a throat-slitting gesture.
Xuan Ye shook his head. “If the child suspects me, then Lin Jiansheng must know as well. Sheng Xiao has Lin Jiansheng, Sheng Lingfeng, and his unreasonable mother protecting him. It’s impossible for me to succeed.”
“If we attack now, we will expose ourselves.”
“Tsk.” Na Luo walked to the sofa and laid down. Her legs were hanging on the arm of the sofa, and her legs looked even more seductive.
“Are you going to let him off just like that? Aren’t you afraid that he’ll tell everyone your real identity?”
Xuan Ye still shook his head. “I’ve worked hard for six hundred years to maintain my image. How can a young man like him shake it? Besides, even if I’m really exposed, it’s nothing.”
Xuan Ye smiled at Na Luo and said slyly, “Aren’t we ready?”
Na Luo thought of the pain she suffered eight hundred years ago, and her eyes went cold. “Yes, we’re prepared. What are we afraid of?”
