Chapter 164: Defying Heaven and Changing Fate (I)

"Oh my God, did she... kill the Grand Master?"

The guards of Qihe City looked at the Grand Master falling to the ground like a meteor, their hearts tightened and they were stunned.

"It's not just the Grand Master. I think Prince Yu and his men are in danger. Will she start a massacre next?"

From the beginning, they were full of hope, hoping that this sudden goddess could save them, and looking forward to the outcome of the battle -

By the time the Four Symbols Sealing Heaven and Locking Earth Formation became a sharp sword in her hand, she stabbed the great national teacher, causing him to be defeated and killed miserably. The outcome of this battle became more and more confusing.

At the same time, their hearts also changed. Their fiery emotions gradually cooled down. They were intimidated by each other's mystery, majesty, and power. They actually began to be afraid of her.

They were thinking, if even the great master of Jing State, who was full of magical powers, was not her opponent, then who else could deal with her?
People are always like this, they always think of danger in times of peace. They are afraid of this person whose origin, background and purpose are unknown. What if she suddenly turns against them, won't they have no chance of winning?

When they thought of this, they couldn't help but feel frightened and fearful.

At this time, a group of people from the underworld emerged from the farmland, dense forests and the Confucius Temple Forest in and outside the city of Qihe. Among them were Taoists, monks, some weird people in strange costumes, and witchcraft from the four barbarians from foreign lands...

It is obvious that these people gathered here for the mysterious woman in white.

She caused such a big fuss, and both the government and the underworld see her as a serious threat. Who is she?
"Now that the gods are fighting, we have to hide away quickly."

The city commander saw that the situation was not right. He knew that he could not control the chaotic situation, so he might as well flee far away and avoid this disaster.

A group of people hurried away, holding their heads and ducking their bodies, hiding their bodies as they passed by. Only four of them stood still, like tangled tree roots stationed in the ground.

Wei Canghao's expression was extremely solemn under his mask. He said, "These people are among the best masters today. Xu Shanshan just fought a big battle. How should we deal with them?"

He was also considered a local overlord and had seen many extraordinary people. He recognized several of them mixed in the crowd. They were all targets that powerful families would spend huge sums of money to win over, and they were also "experts" that ordinary people could not even hope to meet in their entire lives.

Jiashan also recognized several eminent monks who came to the Galan Monastery, as well as other monks who were practicing Zen in seclusion. They are also among the most outstanding figures in Buddhist practice today.

He looked in the direction where the Grand Master fell, and saw Xie Yujin stepped forward to help the man up. After speaking a few words, he coldly placed the body on the ground, with a look of scrutiny and contemplation in his eyes.

He suddenly asked, "Is that person really... the current Grand Master?"

"Master Jiashan, what do you mean? Can she pretend to be a great national master?" Chi Jiangdong looked surprised.

Jiashan shook his head: "I don't know, I just have a vague feeling... A true great master should have the most desirable and calm demeanor in the world. She should have rich life experience, and every move of hers can make people feel endless wisdom and power..."

Having said this, he paused, and a person who was very similar to his description emerged in his mind.

"If a person's achievements are admirable and his character is admirable, then she should be profound and wise, able to see through all the mysteries of the world... But in this great master, I only feel a soul that is busy and exhausted in order to maintain its elegance and composure."

Listening to Master Jiashan talking about the "great national master" whom he truly admired and revered in his heart, Chi Jiangdong also agreed deeply. He also thought that the "highly respected" national master in the eyes of the world should be such an outstanding leader.

It can be said that he was greatly disappointed when he saw the real person.

Because the great master in front of him was a person who was all show and no substance but extremely empty inside.

"But who in this world has the ability to pretend to be the Grand Master? If she is fake, then where is the real one?" Chi Jiangdong pondered. Gu Yuejiarong did not listen to the two people discussing the topic of "Grand Master". His attention was always focused on Xu Shanshan.

Others might only see her incomparable powerful aura, but he noticed the gradual decline in her.

"Do you remember that every time Xu Shanshan took action, she would fall into a period of weakness? This time she made such a big move, could it be that she was already at the end of her strength?"

His words were neither light nor heavy, but they resonated instantly in the ears of the other three.

They all looked at Gu Yue Jia Rong. Chi Jiangdong recalled the past and thought of everything that had happened recently. He pursed his lips and said uncertainly: "...It seems that every time it was only with the magic weapons we sent out that it recovered."

Unlike them who knew nothing about it, Jiashan has been reading and exploring this matter recently and has gained some results.

He nodded and said, "Yes, we all carry a magic weapon. I asked Master about it afterwards. Including my Nine Purple Phoenix Eye, these four magic weapons are not very special. But if you gather all five of them and match a person with a special fate, they can enhance and repair the luck."

"What special fate?" Gu Yuejiarong asked anxiously.

Master Jiashan sighed and said slowly: "This fate is a fate of the heavens. This fate is accompanied by three declines and five disasters. It is destined not to live past sixteen."

Who is this talking about? Could it be Xu Shanshan?
"But, but she survived. She is sixteen years old now, isn't she still alive and well?" Chi Jiangdong asked in panic.

Wei Canghao was stunned and Gu Yuejiarong's face turned pale.

"It's an engagement. Her engagement with our five families was unusual from the beginning. The fortune teller took great pains to find our five families. It was not accidental, but was carefully selected. He did it for no other reason than to extend Xu Shanshan's life."

Master Jiashan might as well lay out the entanglement between the few people thoroughly so that they who are unaware of the truth can know everything before making a decision.

"Let's talk about this later. What I want to ask now is, she borrowed the power of the magic weapon to enhance herself, but as far as I know, the magic weapon will also be exhausted. What will happen to her then?" Gu Yue Jiarong asked carefully.

Master Jiashan's mood at this time was like the sea because of Xu Shanshan, sometimes calm and sometimes turbulent.

He replied with difficulty: "Without the magic weapon to balance her three declines and five calamities, her luck will naturally run out and she will perish..."

Wei Canghao didn't believe it. He suddenly thought of something: "You said you need five in total? There are more than four of us who are her fiancés. Now that we have given them all, is there only one person missing..."

Chi Jiangdong reacted immediately and exclaimed, "Li Yehe!"

"Yes, he should have a Primordial Jade Bead on him." Wei Canghao glanced at them.

Gu Yue Jiarong understood immediately: "With this one, there are exactly five magic weapons gathered together. Isn't it just right to boost her destiny?"

"Then I'll go find Li Yehena now."

"No, we can't take it by force." Jiashan hurriedly stopped him.

"why?"

The three of them looked at him in confusion at the same time.

Jiashan explained to them: "Have you forgotten that Xu Shanshan never asked us for the magic weapon, and never even mentioned it? I guess this magic weapon must be given voluntarily by the owner."
