"The Dao of Divination?" Dai Qiu laughed heartily when he heard Substitutive Smoke's words. At the same time, his body shattered even faster. His legs had already disappeared and turned into dust that scattered with the wind. "The Dao of Divination of our Divine Strategies Palace is no different from child's play to him. Yan 'er, you are really too confident in yourself by relying on something that is no different from child's play!"
"I …!" Substitutive Smoke was still unwilling to accept this. To be precise, she was unable to admit and accept that the Dao of Divination of the Divine Strategies Palace, which was the foundation of the Divine Strategies Palace, had been belittled by her grandfather. Therefore, she wanted to say something to prove that her grandfather was wrong. However, she was interrupted by Dai Qiu before she could finish her sentence.
"Yan 'er, listen to your grandfather!" The body under Dai Qiu's chest had already dissipated with the wind, no longer existing. Moreover, it was still rapidly spreading upwards, and the entire person was about to completely dissipate. He opened his mouth and said gently to Dai Xiangyan, "And this was Grandfather's last request before his death!"
"Do you agree?"
Substitutive Smoke didn't immediately reply to Dai Qiu's final request. Instead, she looked at her grandfather with a complicated expression.
To be honest, Substitutive Smoke had mixed feelings about her grandfather, Dai Qiu. There were feelings of fondness, admiration, and displeasure. She was speechless.
The fondness and admiration were because she had grown up listening to Dai Qiu's legends.
Countless people had said that her grandfather, Dai Qiu, was an unparalleled genius in the history of the Divine Strategies Palace. Even the founder of the Divine Strategies Palace, the Laozu Sect, couldn't be compared to him. This was because the Laozu Sect of the Divine Strategies Palace couldn't cultivate. Compared to a real cultivator, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that they were powerless.
It was also because of her grandfather, Dai Qiu, that the Divine Strategies Palace could be so outstanding. Even the Yuan Gate would pay a visit to the Divine Strategies Palace from time to time.
In the eyes of the Substitutive Smoke, his grandfather, Dai Qiu, who had passed away five hundred years ago, was the strongest person in the world!
But now that he had met his grandfather, Dai Qiu, in person, Dai Qiu was calling them ants, lowly ants. He even treated the Divine Stratagem Hall's divination path as child's play. His words were filled with disdain. This caused a huge contrast in Dai Xiangyan's heart, and he found it hard to accept it.
"I …!" The Substitutive Smoke spoke, his voice hoarse. However, at this moment, Shiziqiu's neck was already gone, his chin was disappearing, his entire body on the verge of completely dying, disappearing from this world!
However, Dai Qiu was still looking at the Substitutive Smoke, waiting for the Substitutive Smoke's final promise and answer.
In the end, when Dai Qiu was only left with a head above his eyes, the Substitutive Smoke finally nodded and agreed to Dai Qiu's request. After receiving his granddaughter's affirmation, Dai Qiu smiled in relief and completely disappeared.
The reason why Dai Qiu handed such a heavy responsibility to the Substitutive Smoke was because although he had been in a deep slumber for five hundred years, there were times when he was awake. When he was awake, he would always pay attention to his granddaughter. He knew very well what kind of person she was.
As long as she made a promise, she would definitely do it. She wasn't like his son, the Substitutive Smoke's father, who was very sophisticated and sly. It was very common for him to turn hostile and not admit to certain things. Therefore, this heavy responsibility could only be handed over to the Substitutive Smoke!
As for Dai Qiu, this was the only thing he could do. He was already living an ignoble life and should have died a long time ago. It was just that he couldn't let go of the Divine Strategies Department. Now that Xiao Fan had arrived, although he had died prematurely, it had also allowed him to see the drastic changes in the future of the Dongling Lower Province. From this, he could warn the Divine Strategies Department in advance and avoid a calamity.
The Substitutive Smoke looked at the place where her grandpa Dai Qiu had passed away. She stood there for a long time and didn't move, reminiscing about her grandpa Dai Qiu's passing. After a long time, she recovered. Then, she slowly walked out of the small gray courtyard with deep doubts about her grandpa Dai Qiu's last words and doubts about Xiao Fan.
。。。。。
The time it took Xiao Fan and the others to enter the Divine Strategies Department wasn't long, but it wasn't short either. It was a total of six to eight hours. When Xiao Fan and the others arrived at the entrance of the Divine Strategies Department, the twelve suns in the sky had already dimmed and were about to turn into moons. It was evening.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone in all directions and covered the entire land. It was as though the people and objects were dyed in a faint golden color.
At this moment, the sky was turning dark and night had arrived. Outside the Divine Strategies Department, many people from the Azure Forest Family were already impatient from waiting.
"When are these villains going to come out? Don't tell me they don't dare to come out and are going to hide in the Divine Strategies Department for the night? "A disciple from the Azure Forest Family said impatiently.
"If it's me, we should just slaughter everyone in the Divine Strategies Department!" A disciple from the Azure Forest Family who had a rather rash and radical character yelled. His voice wasn't soft and many people in the surrounding crowd could hear him. "Why should we care about the Divine Strategies Department's opinion?"
The words of the rash disciple from the Azure Forest Family immediately attracted the attention of many people. In an instant, many people's eyes flickered with a strange light. When the people from the Divine Strategies Department heard what the disciple said, they glared at each other. Many of them let out heavy snorts from their nostrils with unfriendly expressions.
"Elders, it's been six to eight hours. Those people should be out by now, right?" The Patriarch of the Azure Forest Family acted as though he didn't hear the rude words of the disciple from the Azure Forest Family. At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and took a step forward. His voice was calm as he spoke to the few elders of the Divine Strategies Department who were standing at the front.
The Elders of the Divine Tactics Department felt a headache when they heard the subtle coercion from the Family Head of the Qinglin Family. Although the Divine Tactics Department had a transcendent status in the Southern Yuan Region, the Qinglin Family was rather fearful of the Divine Tactics Department and didn't dare to make a move.
However, this matter was different from the past. Too many people from the Azure Forest Family had died and the Divine Strategies Department was ultimately in the wrong. If this continued, it was hard to say whether the Azure Forest Family and the Divine Strategies Department would end up in a conflict.
Once the conflict broke out, even if the Azure Forest Family was ordered to retreat by the Divine Strategies Department's connections, the Divine Strategies Department would still suffer irreparable losses. This wasn't an outcome that the Divine Strategies Department wanted to see.
"Forget it. I'll go in and urge the Mansion Master!" An elder from the Divine Strategies Department frowned and said, "Those people have nothing to do with our Divine Strategies Department. Our Divine Strategies Department can't suffer an undeserved calamity because of them!"
"That's right!" As soon as the elder from the Divine Strategies Department spoke, many other elders and disciples of the Divine Strategies Department also voiced their complaints. They weren't willing to be implicated because of Xiao Fan's group.
They didn't say anything because of their pride. Now that someone had taken the lead to break the deadlock, they naturally expressed their dissatisfaction.
The elder from the Divine Strategies Department immediately turned around and wanted to walk into the Divine Strategies Department. However, the moment he turned around, the door of the Divine Strategies Department slowly opened from the inside, causing him to freeze on the spot.
Shortly after, Xiao Fan's group calmly walked out and appeared in front of everyone outside the Divine Strategies Department.
(PS: I went on a long trip again and will only be back in two to three days. I won't be updating as much during these two days. I'm going back to make up for it. There will be more after I'm done!)
