Zhang Tianle breaks his promise to his deceased master to save his younger martial sister suffering from leukemia, deciding to trade his life for hers by leaving seclusion to tell fortunes and earn...
Haoran's Ruler: ? ? ?
What did he ask?
Zhang Tianle pulled out a strip of yellow cloth from his backpack and wrapped it around Haoran's ruler.
"Master, you don't need to do it, I'll do it myself."
Haoran rolled the yellow cloth strip with the ruler and spun it around rapidly. In no time, he was completely wrapped up, and then it floated in Zhang Tianle's hand.
Zhang Tianle tucked the wrapped Haoran Ruler into his backpack, then carried it towards the altar.
As he walked toward the altar, the Fang family ancestor floated out from Fang Tianci's pen.
They happened to meet eyes with Zhang Tianle, who had just climbed onto the altar.
"Young fellow Daoist! You've finally arrived! But next time you unleash your ultimate weapon, could you please not make such a big show of it all at once? If I hadn't sensed the danger this time, I would have been instantly killed by your ultimate weapon."
Fortunately, he had the foresight to enter the pen the instant he noticed the light emanating from the Haoran Ruler.
Otherwise, if he is too slow to dodge, the golden light of merit he had painstakingly accumulated would be completely consumed by the light emitted by the Righteous Ruler in order to protect him.
Zhang Tianle nodded: "I'll try my best next time."
The Fang family patriarch: "..." This is as if he's saying, "I want it again next time!"
Regardless, it was fortunate that his foolish descendant called for help in time; otherwise, they would have been truly doomed.
Seeing Zhang Tianle's gaze fall on Fang Tianci and the others, the Fang family patriarch immediately explained, "Don't worry! They're fine. The sacrificial formation hasn't been activated yet, so their soul power hasn't been sacrificed. They're just temporarily unconscious. As for..."
The Fang family patriarch's gaze fell on a group of villagers not far away: "Those villagers who were sucked into this place before will at least fall seriously ill when they go back this time."
Although these sacrificial formations are designed to keep these people fresh during the sacrifice and protect them from immediate death, they are still human beings. After going without food and water for so many days and relying entirely on the power of the formations, they will inevitably fall seriously ill once they leave the formations and return to normal life.
Zhang Tianle nodded.
Just then, Fang Tianci, who was lying on the ground, woke up.
The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Zhang Tianle.
His eyes lit up, and he jumped up: "Master, you've arrived?"
He only remembered that after being engulfed by the white mist, he immediately lost consciousness and woke up now.
"That white mist..."
"It's solved. And this white mist? I told you to stay far away so you could call for help from your master, and this is how you call for help?" Fang Tianci's words only made things worse, and the Fang family patriarch immediately flew into a rage.
He risked his life to send this descendant away, but who knew that not long after, he would be teleported back to the altar.
How long has it been...?
Fang Tianci lowered his head, realizing he was in the wrong.
"Young fellow Daoist."
Just then, the Ten Kings of Hell appeared behind Zhang Tianle.
The patriarch of the Fang family, who was about to reprimand Fang Tianci, trembled and hid behind his descendant.
Although he was a special ghost granted permission to remain in the mortal realm, he still panicked when facing top-tier figures in the underworld like the Ten Kings of Hell.
The Ten Kings of Hell glanced at the Fang family patriarch and nodded to him as a greeting.
The Fang family ancestor was registered in the underworld and was a ghost immortal who was allowed by the Heavenly Dao to cultivate in the mortal world.
Of course, once he achieves success in his cultivation, he may become their colleague.
The Fang family patriarch was flattered and bowed to the Ten Kings of Hell.
At this moment, however, the gaze of the Ten Kings of Hell fell back on Zhang Tianle.
Apart from King Yama, the other nine Yama Kings looked at Zhang Tianle with incredibly complex expressions.
The sealed scroll that Zhang Tianle took out was beyond their imagination.
The patriarch of the Fang family glanced at Zhang Tianle, then at the Ten Kings of Hell, swallowed hard, and then slipped directly into the pen in Fang Tianci's pocket.
I'm outta here!
This kind of chaotic situation is not suitable for him.
Fang Tianci obediently came to Zhang Tianle's side: "I'm sorry to have troubled you again, Master, to save me."
Zhang Tianle nodded: "Let's send them all back to the village later."
"Okay." Fang Tianci nodded. "I'll make the call and arrange it right now."
Fang Tianci went over and woke up the members of the Metaphysics Guild branch who were still unconscious. At the same time, he called the police to ask them to come and take the people to the hospital.
As Fang Tianci arranged all of this, the Ten Kings of Hell instantly focused their attention on him.
master?
Is this Zhang Tianle's apprentice?
They glanced at it once and then looked away.
He wasn't very talented.
There's no comparison between him and Zhang Tianle.
Zhang Tianle then looked at King Yama and said, "Thank you for using the Yin Road to send me here this time."
Otherwise, if they had been any slower, Fang Tianci and the others would have been sacrificed by those evil cultivator leaders.
It really happened almost simultaneously.
“Young brother, I haven’t even thanked you for lending us the Demon-Subduing Ruler to suppress the anomalies in the Reincarnation Well, and you’re already being so polite with me.” King Yama chuckled, “From now on, there’s less of this distant politeness. Just call me anytime you need anything.”
We must hold on tightly to this powerful figure.
He had a premonition that a turbulent time was just around the corner.
Befriending someone like Zhang Tianle, who is favored by Heaven, will only bring him immense benefits.
The other nine Kings of Hell twitched their lips.
How long has it been since they've seen Old Song's sycophantic smile?
That's incredibly cheap.
but……
"Hey young man, you don't have to only kowtow to Old Song. We can do it too! Here, this is my token. If Little Song is busy next time, you can ask us for help!"
King Qin Guang smiled and took out his token, which he then placed in Zhang Tianle's hand. As he handed the token to Zhang Tianle, he also took out a small golden seal: "Since it's our first meeting, I don't have anything good to give you, just this little item that I can present to you."
The other nine Yama Kings: "..." He's changed. Old Qin has changed! He's become good at flattering people!
Before Zhang Tianle could even speak, the other eight Yama Kings, besides the Wheel-Turning King, stepped forward and stuffed their tokens into Zhang Tianle's hands, all of them tacitly giving him square seals formed of golden light of merit.
The story they told was exactly the same as King Qin Guang's.
Anyway, Zhang Tianle can contact them if he needs anything in the future; he doesn't necessarily have to contact the Wheel King.
King Wheel, squeezed into the corner: "..."
Things have changed.
His brothers have all changed.
They've become mercenary!
However, the way they acted really lowered their standards!
I can't bear to look! I really can't bear to look!
Fang Tianci, who had just finished arranging everything and returned, saw Zhang Tianle being fawned over by the Ten Kings of Hell.
