“The Venerable One is invincible. Those stupid wolves can only run like the wind…” The Devil Rat Demon Lie Huo rushed forward to compliment.

“Hehe, it’s nothing much.” Fang Ning lightly laughed.

This scheming guy did not know that it could also do this, and perhaps even be better at it. However, it was too greedy and wanted to slip the System empty-handed, so it no longer had the chance.

It had no idea that if it insisted on not exchanging, Sir System would also be helpless.

After all, the treasure had chosen its owner, and a heroic System could not snatch away a treasure that had an owner. That was, unless the person was an evildoer…

If Lie Huo held the Earthly Monument, four mere Celestial Wolves would stand no chance against it. It would not have been so challenged.

This was an example of nature making fools of people. A clever person may become the victim of his own ingenuity.

“Yeah, a clever person may become the victim of his own ingenuity.” A telepathic voice sounded in Fang Ning’s mind, “Mr. Rich Boss, you’re too clever, which is why you keep making mistakes. If my baby Earthly Monument hadn’t been so firm, you would have lost your life.”

Fang Ning felt guilty and quickly changed the subject, “Sir, can you give me a little privacy? Didn’t you go after those four wolves? What happened?”

“Hmph, do you think I’m as dumb as you? Naturally, I caught them all.” The System said disdainfully, “Hurry up and come back. How long are you planning to act? There’s still one more person hiding below.”

Fang Ning was shocked and quickly controlled the yellow dragon and flew into a cloud. Then, he entered the System Space.

Vigilante A fluttered down and lightly said towards the air, “Hiding the head but showing the tail, that’s not how a descendant of a prestigious house should act.”

“I’ve embarrassed myself in front of the Venerable One. I just didn’t want to get involved in this.” Gu Buwei slowly revealed himself from the air.

Lie Huo was shocked upon seeing this. He had no idea that there was someone spying on them.

He immediately cursed silently. ‘This person really did have ulterior motives. When he kindly taught me how to subdue the treasure, it seems that he had another goal after all. I might have been dancing to his tune.’

“It’s fine, you had no ill intentions.” Vigilante A did not pay too much attention to Gu Buwei. Although he saved him in the past, Vigilante A saved many other people as well. He never expected others to repay him for his kindness. He simply demanded an appropriate reward.

Gu Buwei smiled faintly but did not answer. He already helped the Earthly Monument be born successfully and had not been submerged under various incidents or coincidences. The Heavenly Merit had quietly made its way to his hands.

After that, everything he did was to cultivate the ‘Divining by the Clouds’.

That was why he stayed hidden from view and did not interfere. He wanted to see if the future was the same as what he saw.

The facts proved that the difference was not too big. The Devil Rat’s only chance of survival was indeed the arrival of Vigilante A.

His divination technique had improved by leaps and bounds. He believed that if he continued to cultivate, it would probably not be inferior to his ancestors’ Precognitive Divination.

When that time comes…

Gu Buwei stopped his thoughts. He stood to the side and silently watched Vigilante A’s next move.

Vigilante A said to the Devil Rat Lie Huo, “I’ve suppressed those four in my Draconic Arcane Realm and will reform them with love and justice. I believe that before long, they’ll definitely turn over a new leaf and be good people.”

Lie Huo was astonished, “Venerable One, they use their strength to bully the weak, and tried in vain to kill people to seize their treasures. Why are you keeping them alive?”

“Heaven cares for the wellbeing of every living thing. After all, they have not slaughtered innocent people. You do have some internal power struggles with them, so I can’t be too partial…” Vigilante A trailed off.

Lie Huo understood at once, but could not help but think, ‘This Vigilante A really is restrictive. He can’t just kill people whenever he pleases.

‘That’s right, those four wolves came here to kill themselves. Seizing the treasure was only something they did in passing. Their true motive was to seize my authority.

‘To me, what they did was an unforgivable crime, but to Vigilante A, there’s no way to distinguish between good and evil.

‘After all, they didn’t affect the civilians. It’s just an individual conflict between two superiors…’

Lie Huo quickly said, “In that case, please let them reflect properly. I need to sort out the affairs within the clan so that something like this doesn’t happen again.”

“Hm, go then.” Vigilante A lightly said.

Gu Buwei frowned upon seeing this. Supposedly, with his temper, even if he had saved the other party, how could he let this Rat Demon leave so easily?

There was definitely a reason for this, but it was not something he had a say in.

He was about to wave his hand and leave again, but was stopped by Vigilante A.

“I haven’t seen any movements in your Azure Mountain for the past year. What have you been up to?” Vigilante A lightly asked.

Gu Buwei smiled faintly. In the beginning, he would definitely not answer this question.

However, times were different now. Vigilante A had rescued him before, otherwise, he would have been reduced to walking the path of a Devil Lord.

To some people, this might have been a great thing. After all, there was a Path of Longevity by cultivating that, but it was full of risks and dangers. After cultivating to the end, the person may not remain himself anymore…

However, to someone like him, who was a younger generation of a prestigious faction and had boundless prospects, it was grievous news…

He already had the Path of Religious Cultivation, so how would he be willing to turn around and walk the Path of Demons?

Thus, he respectfully said, “Answering the Venerable One, nothing is happening in the mountain. The mountain has been preparing to move the exit of the arcane realm. It would have taken three to five years, but now that the world has changed greatly, I believe that it won’t be long until the exit can be set in a new position…”

“Oh, is your Azure Mountain planning to turn the exit above that mooncake?” Vigilante A questioned.

“Ah, mooncake? Oh, that’s a vivid image. The Venerable One is wise. That mooncake combines the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, and the mysteries of the sun and moon. It’s most suitable for setting up a bodhimanda. Naturally, moving the exit above that place is excellent. I believe the other masters feel the same way.” Gu Buwei laughed.

“Oh, that’s good. Your Azure Mountain is greedy and degenerate, and has many killings and strife. It’s a terrible place, like a sea of evil. However, you emerged unstained from the filth and are still salvageable, which is why I saved you from the Devil Saint’s hands.” Vigilante A said lightly.

Gu Buwei became grim immediately, “The Venerable One’s grace is as high as the Heavens and as vast as the Earth, and has given me a new lease on life. I, Buwei, shall engrave it in my heart.”

As a man of many thoughts, naturally, he thought, ‘For Vigilante A to suddenly say this, what does he mean by that?

‘Is it to prevent me from passing on my experience?’

He really did not guess wrong.

The next moment, Vigilante A lightly said, “I have something here called the Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique. Only if the cultivator is sincere and upright would he be able to advance step by step. It is quite widely circulated in the outside world. Take it and spread it to Azure Mountain as well, it’ll be good to reshape the atmosphere there and let them convert to the righteous path.”

“Hiss…” Gu Buwei suffered a shock and hesitated, “Venerable One, that’ll be quite difficult. There are already cultivation methods in the faction, so is such a method is imparted instead, the teachers would definitely be outraged…”

“Haha, I’m just giving you another option. I won’t force you to do something or force them to cultivate this. Just leave the book there. Whether or not anyone reads it will be up to them.” Vigilante A shook his head.

“In that case, I’ll do as I’m told. Thank you for your great kindness, Venerable One.” While having second thoughts, Gu Buwei thought of a few methods and immediately agreed.

“Good. Leave, then.”

The two chatted for a while before going separate ways.

Then, the System said gloomily, “Mr. Rich Boss, why do we have to give the Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique to Azure Mountain? It’s not like they’ll make any difference anyway.”

“What do you know? One genius is equivalent to tens of thousands of mediocre people. In the world of cultivation, that number might even be magnified to hundreds of thousands. The people in Azure Mountain are all AA and even SS geniuses. Let them cultivate our technique and use them as large batteries in the future. It couldn’t be better. I’m planning ahead now. Do you know what it means to prepare for the overall situation?” Fang Ning was speechless.

“I see, I got it. So besides acting, you also know how to deal with human resources.” The System was pleased, “In that case, I’ll stop bickering with you about almost letting those four wolves escape anymore.”

Fang Ning immediately became gloomy, “Why’re you bringing that up again? It was my first time in battle, so of course I’m inexperienced. I’ll get better after a few times.”

“I think it’d be better if you didn’t. You shouldn’t play too much. The more you do, the easier it is to drown. 1 ” The System hurriedly rejected.
