"Could it be Houtu who's manipulating all of this from behind the scenes..." This thought suddenly popped into Zu'an's mind, startling him.
But the whole thing is indeed a bit suspicious. I entered this world because I was helping Houtu of the future to collect the tokens of authority of the Six Paths, and the Mermaid Queen was most likely sent here by her.
She couldn't have been unaware of the mysterious deaths of the Chang clan if it was due to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but she said nothing and told them not to get involved.
If she wasn't the murderer, what motive would she have to hide it?
The more I thought about it, the more cold sweat broke out on my brow.
"What's wrong?" The mermaid queen noticed his pale face and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I just thought of some bad things." Zu'an forced a smile, hoping that he was overthinking it. After all, with Tu's future status, he would have even less motivation to do such a thing.
He turned to the Goddess of Wushan: "Goddess, could you please report what happened here to the Heavenly Court and let them investigate this matter?"
He's not some savior from an American blockbuster. Such a heinous incident should be handled by official agencies; it's not his place to worry about it.
In his view, this could never have been planned by the Heavenly Court. Any official position must be morally upright, and doing such a thing would shake their own foundation.
The reason why those schemers plot is because they can't do things openly and honestly. So once the bigwigs of the Heavenly Court get involved, it shouldn't be too difficult to resolve this matter.
The Goddess of Wushan hummed in agreement, and her slender fingers began to write in the air, just as she had done before when she informed Baojiang of his murder.
However, after the information was written and was about to be sent into the sky, the words suddenly became erratic and then went out under the watchful eyes of the group.
The Goddess of Wushan's expression changed: "Previously, the Heavenly Emperor severed the connection between Heaven and Earth, and now the laws of Heaven and Earth are somewhat disordered. It is estimated that we will not be able to contact the Heavenly Court for a short period of time."
Zuan hadn't expected this turn of events. He said in a deep voice, "Then it seems we'll have to investigate ourselves. I'm not familiar with many things in this world. Goddess, do you have any leads based on these clues?"
The Goddess of Wushan looked at him with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he meant by being unfamiliar with this world. However, she still said somewhat embarrassedly, "I have lived alone in Wushan for many years and do not have contact with outsiders, so I don't know much about it."
Zuan: "..."
So she's a homebody from a fantasy world; things are going to get complicated now.
“But we can ask someone,” the Goddess of Wushan suddenly said, her eyes lighting up.
"Who should I look for?"
"The Six Enlightened Witches!"
Zuan then remembered that the Six Witches of Enlightenment had asked him to go to Baojiang, where he had met the Goddess of Wushan. After learning this, the Goddess of Wushan became much friendlier, indicating that the two were clearly friends.
The Goddess of Wushan quickly led Zuan and the Mermaid Queen back to Wushan: "You two should rest at my place for a while."
If there were outsiders present, they would certainly be very surprised, because in all these years she has never invited anyone to her cave dwelling.
The Mermaid Queen asked in confusion, "Huh, aren't we going to notify the Six Enlightened Witches?"
The Goddess of Wushan smiled faintly and casually pointed to the distant clouds and mist: "Those clouds and mist will help me deliver messages."
Zuan was full of admiration after hearing this. It seemed that she had a deep connection with clouds and mist. No wonder there was an idiom in her previous life called "Wushan Clouds and Rain".
The Mermaid Queen was stunned by her smile. The goddess had a charming and affectionate face, but her temperament was aloof and cold. These two completely opposite temperaments were perfectly blended together. Even as a woman, she was completely captivated by her. If she were to show any interest in a man, he would be won over in no time.
As she marveled, the Goddess of Wushan was also observing her, thinking to herself that this was the first time in so many years she had seen such a beautiful woman.
I heard she is the holy maiden of the Chang clan, which means she must be from the Wu clan. When did women from the Wu clan become so beautiful?
Even among the most famous fairies in heaven, it seems few can compare to her...
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the foot of Goddess Peak. The Goddess of Wushan flicked her sleeve, and a cloud floated over. Then she made an inviting gesture to the two of them.
Zaun and the Mermaid Queen stepped on it gently and found that it felt like cotton under their feet, but it was not as fragile as they had imagined.
Soon, the clouds carried the three of them upwards. They had only admired Goddess Peak from a distance before, but now, for the first time, they were so close to it. The entire mountain was exceptionally slender and graceful. Compared to the vast mountains around it, the mountain gave people the feeling of a slender waist that could be grasped in one hand.
Before, from a distance, I always thought that the entire Wushan Mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist. Now I know that there is a waterfall flowing down from the top of the mountain, and the splashing water turns into the surrounding clouds and mist.
The Mermaid Queen, being a sea creature, was particularly sensitive to water. She quickly discovered that the water flowing in the waterfall was not ordinary water, but rather a condensation of spiritual energy.
Zuan's experience in studying "The Essence of Dripping Heaven" allowed him to see things more deeply. This spiritual waterfall was like a dragon vein, complementing the entire Wushan Mountain and forming a special protective force.
If any external force invades, it is easy to provoke a thunderous counterattack.
Fortunately, the goddess took the initiative to invite them this time; otherwise, no one else would have been able to get in at all.
The mountaintop was covered with exotic flowers and rare herbs, just as beautiful as the two women beside me.
The clouds and mist around the mountaintop grew thicker and thicker, forming a sea of clouds that was level with the sea of flowers. As dusk approached, the golden sunlight was scattered by the clouds and mist, creating a truly magnificent and breathtaking scene that captivated the eye.
