Chapter 2447 The Only Chance to Change Fate
Duzhi Mountain, under the Ghost Claw Sophora japonica.
The handyman, Shangguan Biao, jogged quickly, head down, and blended into the crowd.
Everyone was busy watching the excitement in the distance, and no one noticed him approaching.
Soon after, Li Yun arrived with his followers, and some other cultivators from outside also arrived, causing quite a commotion behind the Medicine Rock. Shangguan Biao simply climbed onto the branches of the Ghost Claw Locust tree to observe the battlefield.
The person who gave him two choices was indeed an intruder.
The stone man appeared.
Then Mother Earth appeared...
Just as everyone was engrossed in watching, the Earth Mother and the outsider mysteriously vanished from their spot, leaving the people of Changfeng Valley looking at each other in bewilderment, not understanding what had happened.
The medicinal rock shattered on the ground, and countless spiritual herbs were destroyed.
In Duzhi Mountain, let alone if any servant damages the spiritual herbs, even if a few leaves turn yellow, they will be punished. At best, they will be scolded and have their wages deducted; at worst, they will be beaten until their skin is torn and bleeding.
But now, all the spiritual herbs that filled the fields have been destroyed, and the immortals of Changfeng Valley are gathered around the Medicine Rock to discuss their matters, not even bothering to glance at it.
What is a huge deal to a menial servant is nothing but a sesame seed in the eyes of the immortals of Changfeng Valley.
In other words, his work, his hard work and sweat were worthless to his superiors.
Shangguan Biao once again experienced what it meant to be worlds apart.
Surrounded by the crowd, Li Yun was visibly agitated.
Despite the huge incident that happened tonight in Duzhishan, they not only failed to catch the intruder, but they also didn't even know who the intruder was.
Shangguan Biao looked at him and quietly pressed the rattle drum in his arms.
He might get a reward for returning it to Li Yun. But he wasn't going to be foolish enough to hand it over so easily; he wanted to wait for a better opportunity.
He only has one chance to change his destiny, and he must make the most of it.
Looking at the mess, he thought of the mysterious person who called himself "Destiny" again, and couldn't help but think that if he had chosen Xuanjing, he would probably have already left Duzhishan and gone to the mountain gate to redeem himself, no, to complete the procedures for leaving the sect.
He had genuinely witnessed others complete the process of leaving the sect and return to their hometowns to live peacefully. Changfeng Valley was a major sect, and it had that much credibility.
The joy of liberation was a great temptation for him, but he resisted it.
Because "fate" had urged him to figure out what he really wanted.
Just a few dozen breaths later, a rainbow flashed in the sky again, and then everyone knelt down. Shangguan Biao quickly climbed down from the tree and knelt down as well, because—
The leader of Changfeng Valley, Wang Ye, has arrived!
All the disciples were excited, as most of them were seeing the legendary Sect Leader Wang for the first time, the supreme leader of Changfeng Valley.
Indeed, he possessed the air of a Taoist immortal, as kind and dignified as everyone had imagined!
"What exactly happened at Duzhishan? Where did this foreign invasion come from?"
Li Yun, who had always been aloof and detached from worldly affairs in front of Shangguan Biao, was now extremely respectful and reported the incident to Wang Ye.
The more Wang Ye listened, the more his brows furrowed.
"The Earth Mother seems to have awakened, but was pulled back underground? The enemy also disappeared?" He said to Li Yun, "Where is the Wave Drum? Summon the Earth Mother, and I'll ask it."
There are only three magical artifacts in the entire sect that can borrow the power of the Earth Mother. Their usual purpose is to communicate with the Earth Mother. Wang Ye also has one, but he came from elsewhere and did not bring it with him.
Li Yun choked, paused for two seconds, and then whispered, "Sect Leader Uncle, please forgive me!"
Xu Liangye quickly stepped forward, lowering his voice even further: "That thief ambushed Uncle Li, causing him to lose an arm, and also stole the Earth Mother's magic weapon!"
Wang Ye had his back to everyone, but only Li Yun could see the coldness in his eyes.
What a waste! They didn't even figure out where the enemy came from, and their sect's most precious treasure was stolen!
Li Yun lowered her head under his gaze, a chill running down her spine.
This is bad. Losing the Earth Mother's treasure is a serious mistake. The sect leader will most likely punish him severely, and those scheming people in the sect will also take advantage of his misfortune!
However, at that moment, a loud voice rang out from the outside, and everyone heard it:
"Sect Leader, Martial Uncle Li!"
Then someone squeezed through the crowd and ran towards this place.
Several disciples immediately stepped forward to stop them: "Stop!"
Wang Ye turned his head, his expression returning to its amiable state: "It's alright, let him come over."
The visitor was none other than Shangguan Biao.
When he saw the king up close, he was also very excited, and knelt down with a thud, performing the full ceremony on the spot.
"What's your name?"
"Shangguan Biao! I was originally the disciple of the Tanglinzi Cave Master, and later I came to work at Duzhishan." His voice was loud, so that everyone present could hear him clearly.
"Hmm, is there anything you need to report?"
Shangguan Biao immediately took out a rattle drum from his pocket and held it above his head with both hands: "I just found this. When I heard that Uncle Li was injured, I knew I had to return it to its rightful owner."
Li Yun was moved, while Wang Ye reached out and picked up the wave drum, noticing a trace of blood on the handle.
This was originally a treasure he passed down to Li Yun; you'd know its value as soon as you picked it up.
Where did you find it?
A few pebbles rolled to the side of the three rows of houses, and Shangguan Biao pointed to them and said, "I found them among these two stones."
This is also the place where the mysterious person disappeared.
He didn't need to explain why the mysterious person left behind the wave drum. The advantage of his low status and cultivation level became apparent at this moment. People wouldn't actively seek such an answer from him because he certainly wouldn't know the reason.
Anyway, the wave drum that the mysterious man snatched from Li Yun was retrieved by Shangguan Biao, so the sect did not lose this magical artifact.
Neither Wang Ye nor Li Yun believed that Shangguan Biao could possibly have any connection with the invading enemy. The enemy's cultivation was far superior; how could this lowly servant possibly be worthy of such a position?
The invaders disappeared too abruptly; it's most likely they didn't have time to take the rattle with them. Besides, this thing is only useful in Duzhishan; elsewhere it's just a broken toy.
Wang Ye glanced around and saw that there were at least three or four hundred disciples of Changfeng Valley.
He returned the rattle to Li Yun, and then asked Shangguan Biao, "So you were originally a disciple of Tang Linzi?"
"Yes!"
"You did a great job today by addressing the sect's urgent needs! Now, you can go back to Tang Linzi's place."
Wang Ye had many other matters to attend to and no time to deal with this young disciple, so he made the decision directly.
"Yes!" Shangguan Biao's back was almost bent in half as he shouted, "Thank you, Sect Leader!"
"Alright, you can go now." Wang Ye still had things to do.
Shangguan Biao, being sensible, stepped back a few paces before turning back to the crowd.
Success! He seized the best opportunity, and from then on, he could break away from Du Zhishan and get back on track!
Li Yun also took the opportunity to glance at him.
Before Master Wang arrived, I had been standing here for a long time. Why did Shangguan Biao wait until Master Wang arrived to offer his services? Isn't his intention obvious?
Don't leave yet, there'll be an extra chapter later!
