Soon, Fang Xiu saw the future of his subordinate. However, the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed. Only now did he understand why he was destined for bloodshed no matter who he was. It turned out that it was not his problem, but the problem of the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty.
The subordinate felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Fang Xiu's furrowed brows. It was like a person going to the hospital and the doctor holding the test results, not saying a word, with a furrowed brow, feeling immense psychological pressure.
"Master Zhou... what have you divined? I'm not like Immortal Lord Nan'e and Immortal Venerable Wu Chou, am I?"
Fang Xiu withdrew his hand and said calmly, "No, you are much stronger than them."
Upon hearing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief, but Fang Xiu's next words made his heart skip a beat.
"Although you will also suffer a bloody disaster, you will not die for another month."
"Ah!? I... I don't want to be in any bloodshed! Lord Palace Master, save me!"
"It's not a matter of whether you want it or not, but rather that you are destined to suffer a bloody disaster."
Zhou Bai narrowed his eyes slightly: "Zhou Qingfeng, are you trying to play a delaying tactic? Are you deliberately saying that he will suffer a bloody disaster a month from now, and that we need to wait a month to verify it?"
Fang Xiu shook his head: "Today we will see the truth; the beginning of chaos is about to begin."
"What exactly do you mean? Don't try to be mysterious!"
Fang Xiu glanced at him indifferently: "Your chance to redeem yourself is coming. From today onwards, the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty will fall into chaos, and it will only get worse as time goes on. If you can seize this opportunity, you will receive a reward from the Liuyun royal family in the future, and it is not impossible for you to break through to the Immortal Emperor level."
Zhou Bai's pupils suddenly contracted: "What exactly did you calculate?"
"The future, one month from now in the Flowing Cloud Immortal Dynasty."
Zhou Bai was gradually losing patience. He always felt that Zhou Qingfeng was up to something and was playing tricks on him.
However, Fang Xiu quickly provided an explanation.
“Your subordinate is lucky; he has another month to live. And it is because he has lived this extra month that I have seen what he will do in the future.”
In the future, as a member of the Enforcement Hall, he will deal with frequent cases of demonic possession, and then die in one of those cases a month later.
Although I haven't told your fortune, I often see your image in his future, so I think you should live longer than him.
Zhou Bai grasped a key word: frequent occurrence.
"Wait, what do you mean by 'frequently occurring'? Does this mean that the incident of Immortal Venerable Wu Chou going into demonic possession is not an isolated case, and that more will occur in the future?"
Fang Xiu nodded: "That's right, exactly. In the next month, more and more people will suffer from qi deviation, and some celestial officials will even die. That's why I said this is your opportunity. If you can seize the opportunity in advance, then..."
Zhou Bai wasn't stupid; he naturally understood Fang Xiu's meaning. However, he didn't believe what the other party said was true. Frequent cases of qi deviation? How could that be?
What evidence do you have to prove what you said?
"Tomorrow at Shenshi (3-5 PM), at the Zhennan Prince's residence, the captain of the guards for the eighth son of the Zhennan Prince will go mad and kill the eighth son of the Zhennan Prince. I don't need to tell you what to do next, do I?"
Fang Xiu calmly revealed a major event that would shock the entire Liuyun Immortal Dynasty.
Zhou Bai was also startled: "You mean the eighth son of the Prince of Zhennan will die tomorrow at Shenshi (3-5 PM)?"
Zhou Bai knew all too well who the Prince of Zhennan was. As one of the few Immortal Emperors in the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty, and also a prince, the Prince of Zhennan held a high position and great power in the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty. Even Wu Chou's father-in-law was slightly inferior to him.
He instinctively doubted Zhou Qingfeng's words, but deep down he hoped they were true. If they were, then by making arrangements in advance to save the eighth son of the Prince of Zhennan, wouldn't he gain the Prince of Zhennan's gratitude? Then he wouldn't have to worry about that great immortal official.
Believe it or not, the opportunity is right in front of you; it just depends on whether you can seize it.
Zhou Bai's expression shifted between light and dark as he stared intently at Fang Xiu's calm face. The confident air of Fang Xiu in that position made him vaguely believe him.
After a moment's thought, he decided to believe Fang Xiu's words for the time being.
Because this wouldn't cost him anything. Going ahead to protect the eighth son of the Prince of Zhennan would be ideal if the guards really went mad, allowing him to save the eighth son and thus gain the Prince of Zhennan's favor. If Zhou Qingfeng's words were all false, it wouldn't matter either; he could simply blame everything on Zhou Qingfeng. He was just too worried about the eighth son of the Prince of Zhennan, so he took precautions in advance. He could still gain the Prince of Zhennan's favor, albeit at a slightly lower level.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Bai said in a deep voice, "How would I know if this is another one of your underhanded tricks?"
Fang Xiu glanced at him indifferently: "Do you think that if I could secretly tamper with the family of the Prince of Zhennan, you would still be standing here unharmed, talking to me?"
Zhou Bai's face turned ugly after being choked, but he also understood that it made sense. If this person really had such means, he could easily kill even the son of the Immortal Emperor. How could he have been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison?
"Hmph, once I've investigated, if you dare to lie to me, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
After saying that, Zhou Bai turned and left.
The subordinate who had been told the fortune led Fang Xiu back to the prison cell.
"Master Zhou, do you think there's any way to avert this bloody calamity?" the subordinate asked cautiously.
He couldn't be 100% sure that Zhou Qingfeng's calculations were correct, but the problem was that he also couldn't be 100% sure that the other party's calculations were wrong. In such matters, it's better to believe it's true than not to believe it's not true.
It's the same as worshipping gods in the modern world. Many people don't believe in gods, but when they go to temples or Taoist monasteries, they still worship, just in case it works.
"Yes, you can take a break after a month. However, with your strength and your position in the Enforcement Hall, you will die sooner or later as you face more and more cases of demonic possession."
After saying that, Fang Xiu ignored the other party and went into the cell to rest with his eyes closed.
However, one of his remarks made this subordinate consider resigning.
In the darkness, Fang Xiu fell into deep thought.
Why are cases of demonic possession so frequent?
Before you came to the Flowing Cloud Immortal Dynasty, there were no cases of demonic possession here, only rare occurrences. But in the past month, demonic possession has been spreading like a strange disease, an infectious disease.
What could be the cause of this?
Wu Chou's demonic possession could be somewhat explained, since he was a kept man who relied on his father-in-law's resources and consumed many elixirs and medicines to become a Celestial Venerable. His foundation was inherently weaker than that of an ordinary Celestial Venerable. However, if so many people were to suffer demonic possession at the same time, there must be a deeper reason than simply an unstable foundation.
