Chapter 624: Another Change in The River of Forgetfulness
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
"Are you considered to have interfered or not?" Once they arrived back in the divine realm, Lonemoon could no longer hold back and asked. He couldn't tell earlier but now that he thought back, that green ball was actually a spirit seed that had yet to take its form. So once Chao Kun let that out earlier, it became very easy for him to convert the original source." I still thought you won't help either one.
With Shen Ying's temper, it was only normal if she beat Chao Kun into a pulp. But she kept still throughout earlier, so he assumed that she did not want to meddle in their business. After all, it was the business of another plane and though Chao Kun was a vile man, his words were right, if Mu Xiang wanted to get the plane back, she might really have to retract all the living beings again.
Shen Ying lifted her head to glance at him, then cocked her head to a side. "What you owe, you always have to return!" She thought for a moment, then added, "Besides, a plane cannot go without a manager."
"How is there no manager, aren't their two..." Hold on! He paused midway. "You're saying that Chao Kun actually hasn't become a true manager?"
"Mm." Shen Ying nodded. "All who hasn't gotten the acknowledgment of the plane's consciousness won't do." Even if he forcefully obliterates the plane's consciousness, it won't do, what is fake can never become real.
"That's not right." Lonemoon frowned. "If he wasn't a manager from the start, why does he have the aura of a manager on him."
"You and Chef have it too." Shen Ying casually replied.
"How is that related to Chef and me, we were originally..." He faltered, instantly understanding something, his eyes widened abruptly. "Are you going to say that Chao Kun was originally Mu Xiang's assistant?"
"Mm." Shen Ying nodded.
"Damn!" So that was it, in this case Chao Kun was really an assh*le, plane assistants became assistants because of the power of managers.
It was evident that Chao Kun was not willing to be a plane assistant forever, that's why he worked with those people in the Big Dao Organization to plot against Mu Xiang. It was no wonder that he only chased Mu Xiang out of the plane after she annihilated the world instead of killing her directly, he was probably afraid that he would be affected too.
Right now his capabilities were no different from that of a manager's, only because he only lost his suppression after the living beings were wiped out and the plane's consciousness disappeared. The non-management was even more like management, the difference between, neither Chef nor him noticed.
What a phenomenal scumbag was this!
"Master, could the person who helped Mu Xiang come back, be a monitor?" For once, Chef did not turn and go straight to cooking and suddenly questioned.
Lonemoon also recalled that. "Yeah, only monitors could surpass managers, it couldn't be Sister Jing or Mi Le who helped her, could it?" Once he finished, he immediately rejected his own guess. "No, it's impossible that it's them."
For Mi Le, after that beating from Shen Jing, he was probably still in recovery, how was it possible that he would go interfere in Mu Xiang's matters. It was even more impossible for Shen Jing, she already knew about the incidents regarding the Big Dao Organization. If she was the one who acted, she would've notified them and the timing didn't match too.
"Who could that person be? Could it be that a new monitor has appeared again?"
"That's possible... I think?" Shen Ying finished the fruit in the hand and pinched the core, her eyes squinted, looking like she was in thought.
"Possible?"
Shen Ying dumped the core in her hand before replying, "Do you still remember for what reason my sister didn't discover the Big Dao Organization?"
"Wasn't it because of you?" Lonemoon blurted out. "Didn't she say that two monitors usually don't appear in the same region?" Because Shen Ying was in the immortal spirit plane, so Mi Le and Sister Jing wasn't aware of the incidents of the Big Dao Organization.
Mi Le had also tricked them to Void Land over this, wanting to test if Shen Ying was...
Wait! Shen Jing seemed to have mentioned that Shen Ying wasn't a monitor. Then the mutual screening between monitors doesn't exist.
Which means...
"Back then Sister Jing and Mi Le did not discover the Big Dao Organization, because of this person who helped Mu Xiang?!" Lonemoon was shocked then frowned in confusion moments after. "But... if he really was a monitor, Big Dao Organization has existed for so long, why didn't he deal with them?"
"There are only two possibilities: can't handle them, or doesn't want to?" Yi Qing guessed.
"He could even send Mu Xiang back and knew the method of converting the original source, that proves that he was definitely capable." Lonemoon was even more doubtful. "But if he doesn't want to deal with them, why help Mu Xiang? Unless..."
"Unless he isn't a monitor." Shen Ying completed his sentence as she turned towards them, her eyes dimming. "That makes things worse!"
Lonemoon: "..."
Yi Qing: "..."
Both of their expressions darkened too.
Indeed! If the other party was a monitor, it would be fine, regardless of anything, the existence of monitors was to maintain peace between planes. If he wasn't, then there was something deeper to him shielding Shen Jing and Mi Le from sensing the Big Dao Organization and his aim in returning Mu Xiang to her plane. Especially when he still possesses powers surpassing that of a manager.
With such a person in the dark, it made one very restless no matter how they looked at it.
Lonemoon instantly had a foreboding that a cheat was about to appear. He was about to discuss deeper with Shen Ying, but the storage bag by his side suddenly moved, a faint Qi of the original source seeped out.
He faltered for a moment, struck with a thought, he then hurriedly pulled out a transmission amulet, sending a trace of Immortal Qi into it. "Little Shortie?" This was the transmission amulet for Invincible Sect, but it could only be Little Shortie who was able to transmit a message to the divine realm, even having it come with the Qi of the original source.
"Elder Lonemoon!" Sure enough, in the next second, Meng Po's slightly anxious voice sounded. "Is Sect Master with you?"
"What's wrong?" Looking for Shen Ying once she started speaking.
"Something happened! It's the original source of the River of Forgetfulness, it seems... there is a problem."
"What?!" Lonemoon was shocked, even Chef faltered. He did not sense any abnormalities though, hence he took a step forward. "What has happened?"
"I... I don't know either." Little Shortie sounded even more anxious, her voice vaguely tearful. "I sensed the original source of the entire plane but did not find a cause. But in the middle of the River of Forgetfulness, there was a sudden appearance of a..." She paused, as if not knowing how to explain it. "Elder Lonemoon, it would all be clear once you all come back and take a look."
Lonemoon looked towards Chef, Chef turned towards Shen Ying with an inquiring look. "Master..."
"Mm." Shen Ying nodded.
"I got it." Lonemoon then instructed Little Shortie. "We'll head to the Underworld right now."
"No! It's not the Underworld." Meng Po then replied. "The problematic area is in the Immortal Realm, I am in the Sect."
Lonemoon faltered for a moment before putting the talisman away and turned to open the passage to Invincible Sect.
In seconds, they arrived at the back palace of Invincible Sect, detailedly sensing for Little Shortie's location, he realized she was at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace. They turned and flew out.
From afar, they could already see that many disciples were gathered at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace. It seemed like something had happened, all their expressions didn't look too good.
"What happened?" Lonemoon asked directly.
Those people at the gate then looked over at once, joy instantly appearing on their faces.
"Sect Master!" They exclaimed in unison.
In the next moment, everyone cupped their fists and bowed. "Disciples of Invincible Sect, welcome Sect Master back to the sect!"
Lonemoon: "..."
Yi Qing: "..."
So the two of them were invisible, was it?
