187: God stick

“The three from Spring and Autumn Sword Palace don't seem friendly towards Brother Dao,” Feng Jie suddenly said in the Divine Hall, his words seemingly out of the blue, as if he had a sudden realization.

Lu Chen couldn't help but look at Feng Jie more closely.

For this ordinary-looking fellow who was clearly right in front of him, yet felt separated by layers of mist, Lu Chen finally found the key word at this moment: 'Godly Staff'!

He was a Godly Staff!

It was as if he saw through everything, understood everything, and thus, appeared extraordinarily mysterious, like a Godly Staff, very much so.

“What makes you say that?” Lu Chen became interested.

Because he couldn't imagine how those three Celestial Swords from Spring and Autumn Sword Palace could be unfriendly towards him!

Previously, Sect Leader Zhao Yujing had personally taken him to challenge Spring and Autumn Sword Palace, and these three Celestial Swords were present. Naturally, they would know of Zhao Yujing's terrifying power. Could it be that even with Zhao Yujing suppressing everything, these three fellows from Spring and Autumn Sword Palace would still dare to act up?

They'd be seeking death, more like.

Feng Jie smiled, “I know quite a bit about many Heavenly Pride above Azure Underworld. Let me tell Brother Dao about two people, Brother Dao can just listen, how about that?”

He suddenly changed the subject again.

'Indeed, this way of speaking is very Godly Staff.'

Not just Lu Chen, but even Pang Feifeng and Chu Xianyin beside him couldn't help but look over.

Lu Chen nodded, “I'm all ears.”

Feng Jie slowly raised his head, looking towards the top of the Divine Hall, as if seeing through all obstacles to the Azure Underworld, “There is a Crown Prince in Great Qian Dynasty, named Qian Changsheng. This person should now be in the Yang God Realm, and his accompanying Spirit Treasure is also extraordinary.

“And there is another person, who is the God Child of the Gu Family in Ancient Shu Kingdom, named Gu Qingtian. This person entered the Yang God Realm even earlier than Qian Changsheng, and his accompanying Spirit Treasure is even more extraordinary. Within the same realm, he can be called invincible. All living beings and inanimate objects are restrained by it. Even if someone's strength is above his, they may not necessarily be able to keep their life from his hands.”

'Qian Changsheng?' Lu Chen went from being slightly interested at first to gradually sitting up straight.

Feng Jie indeed had something about him.

Lu Chen didn't know or hadn't heard of Gu Qingtian from the Gu Family.

But he knew about Qian Changsheng from Great Qian Dynasty, because he already had a conflict with him. If they met during the Qing Ming Great Cleansing, conflict would inevitably erupt.

Feng Jie mentioning Qian Changsheng at this time was clearly a reminder to him. But the question was, how did Feng Jie know that Qian Changsheng was his enemy?

Also, that other Gu Qingtian, he had never even heard of him, could he also be his enemy?

Or was it because of the three people from Spring and Autumn Sword Palace that Feng Jie mentioned at the beginning?

“You know the art of divination and deduction?” Lu Chen pondered back and forth, already guessing that this mysterious Feng Jie in front of him was likely not speaking without reason.

So, how did this guy know?

He had clearly never left, always staying by Lu Chen's side.

“A little, perhaps!” Feng Jie nodded indifferently.

'His nature, it would be a pity if he didn't become a Godly Staff!' Lu Chen stopped asking, because a Godly Staff always spoke like this, asking was useless.

“It seems you believe me.” When Feng Jie looked at Lu Chen again, his expression held a hint of surprise. There weren't many people who listened to advice like this.

Lu Chen smiled, answering evasively, “If it were before, I might have plucked the heads of those three Celestial Swords from Spring and Autumn Sword Palace before reaching Jiyuan Sea to eliminate future trouble.

“But now, I've changed my mind. It's fine to let those three Celestial Swords live until after Jiyuan Sea.”

Why, even though Feng Jie, this Godly Staff, had already reminded him, did he still want to leave the three Great Sword Immortals of Spring and Autumn Sword Palace alive?

Of course, it was still because of that Gu Qingtian whom Feng Jie had mentioned.

In the Yang God Realm, just his Yang God is a Wind and Thunder Dao Soldier. Furthermore, regarding his accompanying Spirit Treasure, Feng Jie described it even more exaggeratedly, saying it could restrain both living beings and inanimate objects.

To be honest, Lu Chen also wanted such a Spirit Treasure.

As for restraining both living beings and inanimate objects?

Sorry, my Dao Soldier is neither living nor dead, beyond the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements. It just so happens to be outside its range of restraint, isn't that a coincidence?

Lu Chen believed that an accompanying Spirit Treasure delivered to his hands should not be refused.

Of course, for such a good Spirit Treasure, he would still need to rely on the three Celestial Swords from Spring and Autumn Sword Palace for their great assistance.

Feng Jie couldn't help but look at Lu Chen a couple more times.

In a trance, Lu Chen seemed to have the illusion of being stared at by several gazes from different directions simultaneously, but clearly, only Feng Jie was looking at him here.

'This guy...'

Lu Chen instinctively looked up, scanning the entire Divine Hall with his gaze, but found nothing, 'Does this Divine Hall have something unknown?'

He pondered in his heart, but ultimately couldn't guess what was following Feng Jie, watching him together.

However, this unknown entity watching him had no malice, much less hostility, so he stopped thinking about it.

'What a powerful spiritual sense!' Feng Jie's gaze quickly retracted from Lu Chen, and the signature smile returned to the corner of his mouth, “It seems Brother Dao already has a plan. It was my unnecessary talk.”

Lu Chen waved his hand, then suddenly leaned closer and said, “Since Brother Feng can divine and calculate, why not help me calculate who exactly are the people with special Spirit Treasures in this Qing Ming Great Cleansing, how about that?”

If he could know this key information in advance, when he reached Jiyuan Sea and the Qing Ming Great Cleansing began, he would know where to strike precisely.

As soon as he said this, Feng Jie suddenly distanced himself from Lu Chen, his eyes full of vigilance.

'Special Spirit Treasure?'

'Isn't my accompanying Spirit Treasure special?'

'What does this Lu Chen mean?'

'Does he want to kill me?'

Lu Chen quickly leaned closer again, smiling, “Between you and me, why be so distant?”

The smile that had always been on Feng Jie's lips instantly vanished, his face expressionless. He pulled away from Lu Chen again, “Fellow Daoist, please be serious.”

Lu Chen: “???”

'Bah, a dirty Soul, unworthy of being my friend.'

He angrily maintained his distance from Feng Jie.

“My divination and deduction techniques require certain conditions. There are countless Heavenly Pride throughout Azure Underworld, and I cannot divine out of thin air.” After a long while, Feng Jie finally answered Lu Chen's question.

Lu Chen's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer again, “I can provide you with certain information conditions, you might as well try.”

Feng Jie once again distanced himself from Lu Chen, sitting upright, “Tell me.”

Lu Chen, however, didn't care, just quickly spoke, “Martial God Palace, Dragon Elephant Institute, Yu Chan Sect, Dajue Temple. Can you calculate the Heavenly Pride from these four places?”

These were the truly great powers that the Elders and Protectors of his Sect had specifically reminded him about. He wanted to try, using these four Sects as conditions, to see if Feng Jie could divine something useful.

As his words fell, Feng Jie slowly tilted his head back and fell silent, as if his mind had wandered, or as if he was traveling outside the heavens.

'Is he divining?'

But this method of divination by tilting his head back and spacing out was quite unique. He had never heard of it and was seeing it for the first time.

After a long time, Feng Jie suddenly shook his head, “Not enough!”

'Not enough conditions? What a pity!'

Lu Chen wasn't too disappointed, after all, it was just a casual try. If he could calculate it, great; if not, he would just pick directly at Jiyuan Sea, at the scene of the Qing Ming Great Cleansing.

Whichever one he took a fancy to, he would 'cleanse' them. It was the same.

Anyway, this Qing Ming Great Cleansing itself was a complete reshuffle of the entire Azure Underworld. There was no logic to speak of.

Speaking of logic, if the Heavenly Pride from the Southern Countries who had just left their Sects were 'cleansed' as cannon fodder by the Zhao Country Barbarian Sect and the Jiao race from Jiaoren Country who blocked their way before, who would they go to reason with?

This Great Cleansing was inherently bloody. Its tone had been set from the beginning: it was a matter of life and death, with no retreat and no right or wrong. It was all about strength.

If your strength is sufficient, then you can 'cleanse' whoever you want. If you are strong enough, it's even possible to 'cleanse' the entire Azure Underworld, turning the entire Azure Underworld into your own Sect's territory. It's feasible, it just depends on how ruthless you are!
