Chapter 234: Chapter 95 A Minor Flaw"Young Hero Jing, see you next time!" "Waiting for your return, Xuan!" Relying on his relationship with the Shopkeeper of Li Zhen Pawnshop, An Jing quickly hired a team of people on the pretext that the various random ’collections’ bought by Jing Xuan were too many for one person to carry back to Dust Li. You Ruhui, with her Earth Escape Divine Skill, hid beside the cargo boxes; she actually freeloaded the caravan in this way to travel smoothly from Hanhai to Western Mountain—this time was no different. As for Granny Huai, since her tea shop was destroyed and the old lady had nowhere to go for the time being, she decided to visit his hometown upon receiving an invitation from Jing Xuan, and at the same time, seek treatment for some chronic ailments. A reasonable and unimpeachable rationale, no one suspected anything. Within just half a day, everything was prepared. Amidst joyful farewells like ’Let’s cooperate again next time!’ and ’Take care, Lord Jing,’ An Jing, with the hired Li Zhen Commerce Chamber caravan, set off. "I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly." As the caravan hired by An Jing slowly moved along the straight path toward the Wilderness, An Jing, riding a horse at the front of the team, couldn’t help but sigh in relief, "After leaving a place like Kanming City where Earth Veins converge, the efficacy of You Ruhui’s Divine Skills will decrease." "But Granny Huai will use a Secret Technique to shield her, so even when faced with a ’Heaven and Earth Scan’ again, I will have enough time to bring them back to the Tianyuan Realm." "Although it will be somewhat difficult to explain this to the Li Zhen Commerce Chamber caravan afterward, it’s better than being discovered outright." "After all, what strange thing hasn’t happened in the Embracing the Void Realm? Better not to know what one shouldn’t know, and considering the age-old reputation of Li Zhen, there likely aren’t many with unaccountable curiosity." Once they reach the Wilderness, An Jing can part ways with You Ruhui. In doing so, she can attempt to meet with those waiting to rendezvous with her, while An Jing can take a shortcut through Dust Li, speeding his return to Hanhai. After which, both parties can still contact each other using ’Emperor’s Blood’. Closing his eyes, An Jing could sense a speck in his Divine Sea, a blood bead with a rainbow sheen, quivering slightly. If needed, You Ruhui could still enhance his Divine Skills with it. With Earth Escape Divine Skill, he could traverse many realms that ordinary people could not. Moreover, when You Ruhui successfully extricates Granny Huai from the vortex, An Jing estimated, he would receive significant Heavenly Mandate Feedback. After all, the identities of both women are extraordinary. Changing their fate, if not bringing Enlightenment, should at least make An Jing’s cultivation progress smoother, even achieving breakthroughs up to the First Prohibition. "With that, I can return to Hanhai much faster." Only after finding his mother can An Jing settle down to make long-term plans; otherwise, he wouldn’t even know where to establish a foothold in Embracing the Void. Speaking of which, An Jing initially wanted You Ruhui to recommend some Earth Veins in Hanhai for future establishment of his base, but continuous events along the journey left him no time to inquire. However, it’s not a big issue—now that An Jing has the Emperor’s Blood Bead and a way to communicate with her, and with the Sword Spirit able to observe Earth Veins, he can send over the information, and You Ruhui will help identify it. With this in mind, An Jing, thinking of future plans, thought he faintly heard thunder from the distant heavens. Hm? Thunder? With the Frost Calamity ceased and the clouds gone, even with clear skies expected in a few days, how could there be thunder? A sudden sense of foreboding rose in his heart, An Jing lifted his head and saw a dark thunderous light flickering above the heavens. The thunder light shone, its sound not yet reaching, yet its brilliance had already illuminated heaven and earth. It split the clouds, streaked across the sky, and then, with an extremely weird arc, headed toward the ground... that is, directly toward An Jing’s location! Boom! Thunder Light converged, transforming into a human figure ahead. "Stop there." A voice, like rolling thunder, rang out from the expanding electric arcs and mist, "Dust Li from Visible Empty Mountain, Jing Xuan... yes, it matches the portrait." "I have some questions for you." ——Damn! The most troublesome person had shown up! Seeing the figure, blurring within the Thunder Light ahead, how could An Jing not know who it was? "Da Chen Inspector Cao!" His heart sank immediately, "Has You Ruhui been discovered? Is he here to capture and take someone away?" "No, that’s impossible." Cooling down a bit, An Jing was quite clear that, had You Ruhui been discovered, the other party would definitely have acted immediately to abduct, without saying a word, and might not even bother to silence them. Realizing this, An Jing grew even more confused, "If that’s the case, then this is..." "Targeted at me?!" The brilliance of the Thunder Light was dazzling; had it not been deliberately restrained, just the residual waves from Divine Repository traveling would have been enough to kill ordinary mortals. "Greetings, True Person!" When Inspector Cao emerged from the thundercloud, everyone in the hired caravan bowed deeply, either prostrating, kneeling to kowtow, or bending to pay respect with praises echoing one after another. For ordinary folks, an official of the Divine Repository realm represented the highest and most powerful person they could ever encounter in their lifetime, and that was merely a fleeting glimpse across the skyline. If he actually descended before them, they would worship him as if they had come upon a divine being on earth. An Jing also dismounted and performed a Martial Artist’s salute. Inspector Cao’s expression was imposing, his face a square character face, dressed in an official robe adorned with golden patterns and a seal hanging at his waist, the most esteemed official uniform directly under the Imperial Court of the Da Chen dynasty. "You may rise." As the people bowed, with a light beckoning from his left hand, causing everyone to rise, Inspector Cao’s gaze firmly locked on An Jing, "You. A fine young man, come here." "I have something to ask you." "Yes." The more tense and critical the moment, the calmer An Jing became; he bowed his hands in greeting and then stepped forward. As he approached, he sensed the fluctuations of the Emperor’s Blood in his heart—ha, You Ruhui was so scared she was contemplating whether to directly activate Divine Skill and run away—An Jing reassured her internally, telling her that now was not the time to run. As he reached before Inspector Cao, An Jing noticed that there was some dust on the other’s official robe. This was highly unusual; An Jing did not know the exact Divine Skill of a Divine Repository True Person, but ensuring one’s clothes were dust-free was simply a matter of intent. Inspector Cao appeared hasty, probably unwilling to spare even a thought for anything extra, and such a busy man having made a special trip to find him, must have discovered something..." Disaster! His Divine Sense spun rapidly, An Jing remembered a flaw of his own! His being identified as a person from Dust Li and antagonistic towards the True Demon Sect was normal, since the Heavenly Demon was an enemy of all beings, but the Bai Bu tribes in the frontier regions differed, having been deeply eroded by Heavenly Demons and already colluding with the True Demon Sect. And on the Da Chen side, they were also collaborating with the True Demon Sect... in other words, Da Chen also knew that people from Dust Li shouldn’t be hostile towards the True Demon Sect! His identity as a person from Dust Li had shown a slight flaw!
