Chapter 559 - 558: Demon Cultivator Mo Yan is a Woman

Chapter 559: Chapter 558: Demon Cultivator Mo Yan is a Woman

This senior sister was quite confident, but Jiang Zuo didn’t pay her much mind.

The Celestial Book Tomb had opened. It was a rare opportunity, and he could retrieve the Enlightenment Stone to toss in his pond.

Next time, he would transplant the Enlightenment Tree back home too.

Come to think of it, the effects of these two items seemed to overlap.

But it didn’t matter. Jiang Zuo wasn’t expecting them to be particularly useful anyway.

They were just for decoration, so he couldn’t be too demanding.

Afterward, Jiang Zuo left the area where the others were gathered.

He took out his phone and called Jian Shisan.

After waiting for a moment, Jiang Zuo frowned.

Jian Shisan didn’t pick up.

Next, Jiang Zuo called the Tofu Boss.

The Tofu Boss picked up almost immediately.

"Fellow Jiang? Is something the matter?" the Tofu Boss asked curiously.

"Where is Jian Shisan?" Jiang Zuo asked directly.

The Tofu Boss didn’t hide anything. "He’s injured. He just fought a battle against an unknown expert and is now in seclusion to recuperate.

But the Holy Land is fine, so there’s no need for you to worry, Fellow Jiang."

Jiang Zuo was surprised. ’Someone actually managed to injure Jian Shisan?’

’And so badly that he needed to enter seclusion to recover.’

’It seems his opponent was incredibly strong.’

After all, even though Jian Shisan had only just entered Tier Eight, he already had few rivals within that tier.

Jian Shisan was a man with the potential to reach the Supreme level; it was extremely rare for someone of the same tier to leave him in such a sorry state.

This meant his opponent was likely of a higher tier.

However, the other party probably didn’t get off easy either.

If Jian Shisan hadn’t defeated his opponent, he wouldn’t have been able to retreat and heal.

Jiang Zuo said, "If there are any signs of the situation getting out of control, notify me immediately."

The Holy Land’s affairs were tied to Su Qi. If things spiraled out of control, she would be in danger.

Therefore, Jiang Zuo had to nip any such possibility in the bud.

If Jian Shisan wasn’t in the Holy Land, he might have to make another trip there himself.

The Tofu Boss asked, "And what if Jiu Xi isn’t at the Holy Land?"

Jiang Zuo replied expressionlessly, "Then go find Jian Shisan."

The Tofu Boss gave a wry smile. This young friend was certainly blunt.

He then agreed, promising he would certainly provide immediate notification if anything happened.

With his Cultivation on the verge of Entering Dao, he was capable of sensing many things in advance.

For now, the Holy Land was as steady as a mountain; it was impossible for any mishap to occur.

At that moment, Jiang Zuo asked another question. "Do you know the Holy Land’s progress in absorbing the Immortal Spiritual Qi?"

The Tofu Boss thought for a moment. "It will probably take several more days."

Jiang Zuo understood and hung up the phone.

Several days... to be safe, that meant he had about three days.

Three days should be enough time for him to return from the Celestial Book Tomb.

It might be delayed by a day or two at most, so it wouldn’t be a huge problem. If it came to that, he could bring Duan Qiao along and still be able to hold his own.

Worst case, he could just rush back at top speed.

Jiang Zuo then decided to head back. He needed to make some preparations and then investigate the location of the Celestial Book Tomb.

After all, geographical names had changed since ancient times, so it was best to get a clear idea before setting out.

「Demon Cultivation Realm」

Mo Yan was still digging the grave when she suddenly shivered.

She wasn’t sure why, but she felt a sudden chill.

’Is something bad about to happen?’

Mo Yan quickly pushed the thought aside. She had searched a long time for this spot; it had the best Feng Shui.

’It definitely won’t explode again this time.’

’Mother can finally rest in peace.’

Meanwhile, in the distance, Master Mo Yan sighed helplessly. "She thinks this one has the best Feng Shui too. Besides her Nightmare ability, Mo Yan is truly terrible at everything else.

She’s been searching for a place for that Clothes Tomb for so many years, and she has yet to find a single suitable spot."

Elder Chen chuckled. "I’m starting to suspect you taught her this way on purpose."

Master Mo Yan looked at Elder Chen and said, "Why aren’t you dead yet?"

Just then, Mo Yan called out, "Master, where are my mother’s clothes?"

Hearing this, Master Mo Yan tossed a set of clothes over to her. It was a rather ordinary Immortal Skirt, plain even.

When he saw the clothes, Elder Chen was taken aback. "You actually have Mo Yan’s mother’s clothes?"

Master Mo Yan said irritably, "Ever heard of copy and paste? How else could I afford to supply Mo Yan with clothes for her grave-digging every other day?"

Elder Chen was speechless. "..."

On a mountain peak directly opposite the one where Master Mo Yan stood, though at some distance, Witch Dan Xue awoke from her seclusion.

She was very satisfied with this session. It had been a bit short, but she was in excellent condition.

She planned to go find Mo Yan to share her good mood.

However, just as she stepped out of her seclusion chamber, she found a dignified, beautiful woman standing before her.

This was Witch Dan Xue’s private seclusion area, so anyone present must have been waiting for her.

Witch Dan Xue immediately spoke with reverence. "Master, you were looking for me?"

Witch Master Dan Xue looked at her disciple and smiled. "I have a mission for you."

Witch Dan Xue was not surprised. "Please, Master, go on."

"The Celestial Book Tomb is about to open. Go and retrieve the Enlightenment Stone," Witch Master Dan Xue said softly.

Witch Dan Xue frowned. "Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to send Senior Brother for this?"

It wasn’t that she wanted to shirk the responsibility, but her senior brother was genuinely more suitable.

He was more outstanding than her in every way.

Her master shook her head. "Your senior brother won’t do. Right now, he’s probably off somewhere selling the location of the Celestial Book Tomb.

If I sent him to fight for the Enlightenment Stone and a business opportunity presented itself, he would likely forget the mission entirely.

Forgetting would be the least of my worries. I’d be more concerned he’d just sell the Enlightenment Stone."

Witch Dan Xue was speechless. So that was the kind of impression her senior brother had made on their master.

Since her master had put it that way, Witch Dan Xue naturally had nothing more to say. "Then I will give it a try."

Witch Master Dan Xue nodded. "With your aptitude, there’s basically no one in the younger generation of Demon Cultivators who can surpass you."

Witch Dan Xue was surprised. "Does that mean only Low-tier Cultivators can enter the Celestial Book Tomb?"

"No, it’s just that those of a Low Tier will be closer to the Enlightenment Stone. I will be waiting outside to support you, so you don’t need to worry," said Witch Master Dan Xue.

Witch Dan Xue nodded.

’It seems this won’t be an easy task,’ she thought. But she didn’t mind. Not everything in life was simple.

’I’ll give it my all.’

Suddenly, Witch Dan Xue thought of something and asked, "Master, will Mo Yan be participating as well?"

Witch Master Dan Xue looked at her disciple in surprise. "Demon Cultivator Mo Yan? The Mo Yan who brings shame to all Demon Cultivators? You care about her?"

Then, Witch Master Dan Xue frowned. "Xue’er, you know that I’m an open-minded person. I wouldn’t even object if you liked a Daoist Cultivator. But Demon Cultivator Mo Yan is a woman."

Witch Dan Xue was dumbfounded. After a moment’s thought, she hurriedly explained, "Master, you’ve misunderstood! It’s not what you think. I just want to teach her a lesson. Demon Cultivator Mo Yan is extremely annoying."

Witch Master Dan Xue said, "It had better be. Otherwise, I’ll pay a high price to have your senior brother marry you."

Witch Dan Xue felt completely helpless. ’What on earth is Master thinking?’

’Her mind is so dirty. Beating up Mo Yan is clearly such a joyful activity.’

’Master’s words are making it sound all strange and twisted.’

’And paying a high price for my senior brother to marry me?’

’I could just as easily pay a high price to make him disappear for a few hundred years.’

’My senior brother would definitely take the money from both sides and then vanish.’

’A perfect solution.’
