Chapter 944: Metamorphosis (2)
“Community of fate.”
He couldn’t help but think of this. He was the closest to the Yang family. This was something that the entire Lingzhou’s Luminarists knew. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, he was on the same side as the Yang family.
“What if I abandon the Yang family at a critical moment? What kind of impact will it have?” Shen Ping could not help but think, “Could this be the different path of fate? No, I have the Longevity Lamp. No matter what I choose, I will eventually go against that eight-star Luminarist who wants to plunder the Longevity Lamp! That’s probably the way it’s meant to be!”
He seemed to have sorted out the relationship at once. There might be many directions of fate, but in the end, millions of them would gather. So that was his fate. From the moment he was born, he was destined to walk a path of resistance. This path was a form of resistance to the longevity lamp talent. Because the Longevity Lamp was destined to become a nine-star Luminarist. It was equivalent to Tang Seng’s meat. Anyone who knew the secret of the longevity lamp would want to plunder it.
Unless he succeeded, otherwise, no matter what choice he made along the way, he would eventually face his predetermined fate.
“Nephew, nephew?”
Shen Ping came back to his senses. He felt helpless, but at the same time, he was happy. No matter what, he finally understood his fate, and this was the direction of his life. “Know your fate. In the countless rivers of fate, finding and determining one’s fate coordinates is Knowing your fate!”
He felt that his understanding of the power of fate had become clearer, and there was even a qualitative change. No matter how changeable fate was, as long as he was in the Knowing Fate State, he could face the waves of fate triggered by various forces and remain unmoved.
Similarly, He has his own life in the immortal dao territory,
“The so-called Knowing Fate State is the most spacious one among the countless rivers of fate, the one that has always been in the same direction.”
He suppressed his emotions. Shen Ping looked at Patriarch Yang and smiled. “Senior Yang, your experience in this aspect far exceeds mine. No matter what arrangements you make, I will support you!”
After he knew his own destiny, he became much calmer. It was as if he had found a lighthouse in the endless darkness that illuminated the path ahead. More importantly, as long as he followed this train of thought and comprehended it, he believed that he would definitely understand more of his fate.
Patriarch Yang stroked his beard and said with a smile, “Don’t belittle yourself. You were able to discover the Yan Kingdom’s deployment in advance. This is not something an ordinary Luminarist can do. If you can stop the Yan Kingdom’s plan this time, you will have contributed a lot. In the future, when you fight for the position of director of the government office, this contribution will give you a greater advantage.”
Shen Ping immediately said, “Yes.”
However, he thought to himself, Could it be that the position of director of Lingzhou’s government office was also a predetermined fate?
Time passed slowly.
Under the arrangements of the Yang family, the defenses of Lingzhou City and the outskirts of the city had increased significantly, and the inspection and patrolling had also increased significantly. The closer they were to the day of the Dark Luminarist’s uprising, the greater the intensity.
On the other hand, although the dark luminarists had sensed that something was amiss, they had no choice but to shoot. On the day of the plan, all the dark luminarists were mobilized.
Shen Ping also used his special beast teleportation talent to come to Lv County. Cao Yu directly opened the door of the government office, allowing the dark luminarists to charge into the office without any effort and fight with the other luminarists. The upright luminarist was quickly controlled.
However, just as Cao Yu felt that he could finally satisfy his twisted thoughts, the upright Luminarist temporarily escaped his control and brought Cao Yu down with him.
Shen Ping did not show much surprise. He had long seen their fates through the Pupil of Flame Beast. From the moment he interfered with the change, their fates had been entangled. In the end, they would die together. Still, he was wondering if their fates had changed because of his appearance.
Unfortunately, his Pupil of Flame Beast could only check for three days and not for a lifetime. Otherwise, he would know if this fixed fate could be changed.
However, according to his previous speculation, regardless of whether it was Cao Yu or the upright Luminarist, although they would eventually cross paths, they probably wouldn’t die together.
But he wasn’t sure.
What happened next was just as Patriarch Yang had speculated. When the leader of the Dark Luminarists began to use special items to attract the vengeful spirits, the directors of various government offices appeared one after another and used seals to affect the vengeful spirits, thereby obstructing these vengeful spirits’ plan to devour the lives of the common people.
Seeing that the situation had changed, the other dark luminarists immediately made up their minds to flee.
In less than half a month, more than half of the Dark Luminarists in the various county offices ran away, after all, they had infiltrated the Yun Nation.Those Dark Luminarists in Yun Nation, who joined to use Life Qi to stabilize themselves, naturally would not risk their lives with the Yan Kingdom when they saw no hope.
…
Yan Kingdom.
The marquis, who was preparing to make a big move and break through Lingzhou, was furious when he received the news. “We shouldn’t have placed our hopes on these filthy dark luminarists. Men, pass down my military order. The army will set off and advance towards Lingzhou City!”
Now that things had come to this, the Marquis could not give the order to retreat. Even if he had to bite the bullet, he had to walk around Lingzhou City. Otherwise, he would definitely be punished by the Yan Kingdom’s monarch.
The army moved. News from all sides spread like wildfire. The Yun Nation and the surrounding countries all looked at Lingzhou.
Although the Yang family had used drastic measures to save the lives of many people, they were helpless in the face of such a situation. Nevertheless, because they had made preparations in advance, they still had enough to deal with. No matter how the Yan Kingdom army attacked the city, it was difficult to break through.
In the end, they had no choice but to retreat. The vigorous attack seemed to be anticlimactic. However, such things often happened in the Yan Kingdom, and most of them were just bluffs, so the other countries thought that it was the same this time.
Regardless, the eight-star Luminarist’s plan fell through.
In order to attract other eight-star Luminarists, the war had to last for more than half a year. There were also various situations where civilians died tragically. That would attract a large number of vengeful spirits. In the end, the Yan Kingdom’s army only symbolically attacked Lingzhou City more than ten times before leaving dejectedly. They could not get the eight-star Luminarists of the Yun Nation to come over at all.
“Who the hell ruined my plan? Investigate! Find out!”
“Yes, High Lord!”
Months later, Shen Ping saw the leader of the dark luminarists again. He glanced at Shen Ping and his eyes revealed joy and excitement. Then, he turned around and left. This made his expression change slightly. Next, he concealed himself and activated his teleportation ability.
Whoosh.
Following closely behind the Dark Luminarist known as the Fire Lord, he arrived at the mountain range. “Reporting to the Lord, the matter has already been investigated. The Yang family of Lingzhou City obtained the news from somewhere and arranged an event in advance to transfer the directors of the various government offices away. We didn’t know that these directors could actually affect the vengeful spirits, so it ultimately led to failure.”
The eight-star Luminarist snorted. “The Yan Kingdom is not a good fellow either. However, this Yang Family is just a six-star Luminarist family. How dare they stop my plan? They really deserve to die. Quickly bring some to destroy the Yang Family.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the seven-star luminarist in the city. You just have to bring people in.”
“Understood.” Leaving the mountain range, the Fire Lord was joyful. “I didn’t expect to meet a Luminarist with a longevity lamp in Lingzhou City. As long as I can obtain the method of His Lord’s plunder, I can become the legendary nine-star Luminarist!”
Shen Ping narrowed his eyes. He did not know how he had been exposed. At that time, he had used his true soul power to conceal himself. Clearly, the other party had some way to confirm the longevity lamp.
Fortunately, he did not tell the Lord. Otherwise, he would have to face an eight-star Luminarist.
