Chen Tianxiao rubbed his aching head and left Azure Mountain.
The Azure Mountain had suffered a great disaster, and all the males had perished. It was normal for him to be fine, but he had already become a ghost, so it was a blessing in disguise.
After all, compared to his senior and junior brothers who were lying paralyzed in bed, his current state was much better. At least he could walk, jump, watch, and sing.
However, what puzzled him was why Gu Buwei was fine?
Could it be …
A shocking thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly stopped himself from thinking about it, and he couldn't say it out loud.
However, that shouldn't be the case. It was too preposterous. The more reasonable deduction was that the other party had the Divination of the Clouds Technique, seeking fortune and avoiding calamity, so he should have avoided the area of infection.
That couldn't be right. The other party had spent a lot of time with the patients and took care of them. How could he not be infected?
That was some mysterious magic treasure bestowed by the Grandmaster. No, the Grandmaster had no reason to not give it to his own brother and give it to an outsider.
It seemed like it was his own fortuitous encounter.
'Damn it, I'm not that much weaker than him, but not only can he be like a fish in water in the Azure Mountain, he can also handle things with ease outside. Even if he encountered a disaster like this, he could still get through it.'
He was just like Yun Zhongzi in the Investiture of the Gods, the so-called True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue. Could it be that he really had the so-called virtue to protect him?
Chen Tianxiao couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. He suddenly had an idea. If he didn't know, he could take the opportunity to ask that person. He should know.
Rumor had it that he had a good relationship with Gu Buwei and had even saved his life.
Chen Tianxiao walked out of the mountain gate, left the Lunaette, and floated toward the ground.
Not long after, he saw that person.
"You're finally out …" Vigilante A stopped him in mid-air and said coldly.
"Uh, please forgive me, Venerable One. Something happened to the mountain gate and the lockdown was tight. I didn't have a chance to come out." Chen Tianxiao complained bitterly.
Of course, he would not tell the truth. It was Shang Qingshan who did not allow him to come out.
"You're lying. Looks like I've been too kind to you. Fine, go back to the Draconic Penitentiary and rebuild." Vigilante A waved his hand, and Chen Tianxiao disappeared without a trace.
Draconic Penitentiary.
Fang Ning sat in his office and watched the entire process of Anderson torturing Chen Tianxiao through the monitor in the punishment room.
This kid actually dared to lie right in front of his face.
As for how he knew that the other party was lying, it was very simple. If Gu Buwei could come out, how could he not come out with an excuse?
Did he really think Master Fang was a pushover?
It was true that he was soft-hearted, but that only applied to good people. When it came to evil people and those who harbored evil intentions, he would never be a saint. He would kill those who deserved to be killed and hit those who deserved to be beaten.
Anyway, with the System seizing over him, he did not need to suffer from any homicidal phobia …
In less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Tianxiao confessed everything.
Anderson's ability to concoct souls was evident. Although he had not shown himself for a long time, he was not Fang Ning. Even if Fang Ning did not have the time to pay attention to him, he was still learning and improving every day.
"Venerable One, please spare my life. I will tell the truth."
Chen Tianxiao said weakly in the punishment room.
Only then did Fang Ning ask Anderson to stop temporarily through the monitor's communication channel and listen to his confession.
"Actually, as soon as I entered the mountain gate, I went to see the Grandmaster and told him everything that happened here, including the fact that the Venerable One wanted me to be a spy."
Hmph, as expected.
Fang Ning was not too surprised by the answer.
After all, this was the Era of Mythology. It was not easy to be a spy in the past.
In the past, as long as one was properly trained and had inhuman willpower, one could be a spy.
Now, however, there were all kinds of mysterious techniques and even countless soul probing methods. If it were not for the protection of special treasures, spies would not be able to resist the probing of powerhouses.
As for those who could resist the probing, they were not suitable to be spies. The cost was too high.
Chen Tianxiao was just a spirit. How could he resist Shang Qingshan who controlled a grotto-heaven?
He was afraid that once they met, he would be intimidated and confess everything.
Now that he was facing Fang Ning, it was the same.
This was the tragedy of the weak in the Era of Mystery. Even if you were not afraid of death, you could not keep a secret.
"The Grandmaster didn't tell me what he really relied on. He only told me to tell the Venerable One that he relied on the deities not daring to enter the Azure Mountain. When I came out this time, he also told me that if the Venerable One asks for the reason, I should say that the Azure Mountain is an extremely mysterious node. If the deities enter, they will be suppressed and become nourishment for this realm. They will not be able to cause any trouble. Even if they had a hundred times more power than them, it would be useless. Because they have to fight against the weight of the entire Earth, or even the entire universe … "Chen Tianxiao explained everything in detail.
"Hiss, I see." Fang Ning suddenly understood.
Sir System took the opportunity to mock him. "Aren't you the same? You only know these four words."
"Cut the crap. What I'm saying is, no wonder Shang Qingshan was so domineering towards the deities and Buddhas. He was purposely provoking them to attack the arcane realm. Unfortunately, these deities have all lived for millions of years. Even if they still retain their anger, they can control it and won't be fooled. However, he did this because it was convenient. After all, there are so many deities, and there are bound to be some who are stupid. If they happen to come across one, it'll be a big win. "Fang Ning analyzed methodically.
"I see. I understand now. No wonder that old man was so overbearing. Fortunately, you were afraid of death and did not let us enter his place. It seems that the specialty of that arcane realm is to suppress powerhouses and use them as nourishment. It seems that every arcane realm has its own unique characteristics. How strange. Who created them? "Sir System was puzzled.
"We'll talk about this next time. At least one big problem has been solved." Fang Ning deeply understood the principle that there was always someone better out there.
Sir System's combat strength may be high, but it was definitely not invincible. It was necessary to always maintain a humble and cautious style to ensure safety first.
At this moment, Chen Tianxiao suddenly endured the pain and said, "Venerable One, I have a big secret to report."
"Tell me. If it's good, I'll let you go this time."
"This time, the Azure Mountain encountered a great disaster. None of the men were spared, except for Gu Buwei. I guess he might have the protection of Merit, or even some powerful talisman …"
What a despicable person, betraying his friends for glory.
However, Fang Ning did not teach him a lesson. After all, this information had a certain value.
"Gu Buwei had watched over the birth of the Divine and Earthly Monuments, so he should have some Heavenly Merit to protect him. This information is very valuable. At least I understand now that the God of Plagues is still very wary of the Heavenly Axiom. He won't let the disease infect people with Merit. "Fang Ning's heart was enlightened, and another big question was solved.
When Gu Buwei came to visit, he was curious as to why he was fine.
However, it was not convenient to ask. He could not check Gu Buwei's gender, or ask if he was in cahoots with the God of Plagues.
Now that Chen Tianxiao reminded him, he understood. Just like how the women were fine, the God of Plagues spread the disease, but it also avoided people with Heavenly Merit. This was to increase the difficulty of becoming a god.
This inferred conclusion was very valuable. At least Fang Ning understood that the Earth's Heavenly Axiom was not something to be manipulated.
Perhaps it was far from the Upper Realm's mature Heavenly Axiom, but it was still a colossus in this realm.
When these gods descended, their power declined to the extreme, so they had to face the existence of the Earth's Heavenly Axiom.
This was also the reason why they came up with ways to use Hook, a local, to attack the Earth's Heavenly Axiom.
