Chapter 2364 Doubt
The Earth Mother and the two celestial beings headed towards the Panlong Ruins, while Mount Ling was mostly heading towards them!
These three parties are likely to come into contact and engage in a massive battle on Shen's territory.
How should Shen Guo respond?
He Chunhua had no evidence, but he had a hunch that the Great Shaman Zhaomandu was particularly sensitive to crises and changes.
He was living a perfectly good life in Blackwater City, but whenever a major upheaval was about to occur, he would always mysteriously disappear.
The last two times Zhao Man suddenly disappeared, one was when Sun Fuping and Nian Songyu falsely claimed to have the emperor's will and tricked the He family father and son into entering the Panlong Ruins.
Another time, He Lingchuan suddenly returned and tricked him and Narakuten's clone into sneaking into the Panlong Secret Realm.
So, looking at it from another angle, does Zhaomandu's sudden wandering to other places mean that another great upheaval is about to occur in the Panlong Wasteland?
He Chunhua felt a vague unease in his heart:
Both of those times were related to the Panlong Ruins and the father and son. Now, as one of the parties involved, I am in the capital of Shen Kingdom. Could it be that...?
In this world, the person most closely associated with Panlong Ancient City and Dafanghu is none other than the eldest son, He Lingchuan.
With another unexpected turn of events in Panlong Wasteland, will Cang Yan really not get involved?
Has the eldest son already secretly sent someone over?
He still vividly remembered the scenes after He Lingchuan entered the Panlong Ruins twice before. Narakuten also confirmed that He Lingchuan had an unclear and close connection with the Great Square Pot.
He Chunhua vaguely sensed that the Demon Realm was experiencing a major upheaval, and the relationship between Kshatriya and the gods of Lingxu had become subtle and unclear.
He could sense this from the instructions given by Narakuten. Narakuten didn't seem to object to the gods of Lingxu taking down the Great Pot, but He didn't tell He Chunhua to stay put or not interfere, only saying, "Do what you should do."
What should He Chunhua do?
He himself was in a superior position and knew very well that the beauty of such instructions was their ambiguity, allowing any problems that arose afterward to be shifted to his subordinates.
He Chunhua was even more confused about Naraku's current attitude towards the Nine Nether Emperor.
If Narakuten discovers that Cang Yan's power has also reached Panlong Wasteland, what demands will he make of He Chunhua?
Although Narakuten had maintained frequent contact with He Lingchuan in the past, a demon is a demon, and doesn't care about sentimentality. Given the opportunity, would Narakuten capture or kill Cang Yan and his men?
He Chunhua didn't want to do that.
If the State of Shen attacks the people from Cang Yan and fails, Cang Yan will inevitably become an enemy of the State of Shen in the future.
Eighty percent of the precious materials used by Shen Kingdom to manufacture special weapons are imported from the Gold Plains, not to mention other major trade transactions.
Besides, if the Great Pot were to fall into the hands of the Heavenly Demon, what good would it do for the human world, or for He Chunhua and the Shen Kingdom?
It seemed to only make the impending catastrophe even more astonishing.
He Chunhua was aware of her eldest son's determination to fight against the Heavenly Demon.
His worship of Narakuten does not mean he desires the arrival of a celestial demon on earth.
He sat in the imperial study for half an hour, then put the book box back in.
The gemstones on the box faded and became transparent again. This meant that the writing on the blackboard inside the box had also disappeared, returning to a blank state.
He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take a step when a string of silver bells tied to his wrist suddenly jingled without any wind.
Narakuten is looking for him!
His information network is becoming increasingly accurate. He Chunhua's expression changed slightly. After adjusting his mindset, he strode towards Narakuten's temple.
Close the doors and windows, light incense, and quietly invite the gods.
After this process was completed, Narakuten's voice rang out:
"A new force has arrived in the Panlong Wasteland. Are you aware of it?"
He Chunhua was slightly surprised: "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."
“You’ve dealt with him more than once, Cang Yan.”
He Chunhua looked up, utterly astonished: "What?!"
His expression was spot-on, showing no sign of awkwardness.
Narakuten then said, "Just one or two hours ago."
He Chunhua immediately pressed, "Who told you this, Divine Lord? Is this source reliable?"
Narakuten received this news far too quickly.
“Reliable.” Narakuten certainly wouldn’t reveal everything. “At least Dong Rui, the puppeteer by Jiuyou’s side, has already appeared.”
He placed some spies in the post stations and residences of Panlong Wasteland, intending to monitor the whereabouts of the Earth Mother and the Lingxu Clan, but not long ago he captured some strange things.
The strangest one is a toad that looks like a snail, or a snail that looks like a toad.
The description of the chameleon was unclear, but Narakuten understood it immediately:
Snail-toad!
It is known that this monster is a unique copy, and its owner is Dong Rui, a demon puppeteer serving the Nine Nether Emperor.
If Dong Rui appears in Panlong Wasteland, then...
Of course, He Lingchuan has become the Nine Nether Emperor, so he may not be able to do everything personally, but with Cang Yan's power joining in, the situation will definitely become more unpredictable.
“What exactly is this…” He Chunhua couldn’t help but pace back and forth a few times, his face showing anxiety—this didn’t need to be hidden.
Now that Narakuten knows, what will He do?
"What are the God's plans?"
“If Jiuyou only sent his men, you’d better make contact with them; if Jiuyou leaves Cangyan and comes to my territory, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Narokutsu paused for a moment before continuing, “I wanted to talk to him just now, but he refused.”
How should we talk? Just like he talked to He Chunhua.
This is currently the primary way for gods and humans to communicate, and it's the least effortful for the great gods, but it has one drawback:
It easily exposes the location of the person who invokes the spirits.
When a wisp of divine thought descends to the mortal realm, it must first be located before the one who invites the deity can be found.
If Jiuyou were in Panlong Wasteland and communicated with Naraku in this way, he would immediately expose his location.
Upon hearing this, He Chunhua's heart sank. Unlike him, the Nine Nether Emperor had the right to refuse any request for communication from any deity.
Answer if you want, hang up if you don't.
But is it because he feels guilty that he doesn't accept Narakuten's request to talk to him at this time?
He Chunhua composed himself: "Perhaps he is in seclusion cultivating and not concerned with external affairs."
"Is that so? Heh." Seclusion? Jiuyou had indeed announced earlier that he would be going into seclusion.
Only he knows the truth.
"However, if he really comes, the chances of the Lingxu Clan obtaining the Great Pot will plummet." Narakuten's laughter was filled with deep malice. "I'd also love to see the Lingxu Saint Venerable suffer another setback! Tsk, what should we do?"
He Chunhua understood His temperament, and at this moment said:
"The existence and actions of the Nine Netherworlds may not be without your benefit; the fact that the Lingxu Clan cannot obtain the Great Fang Pot may not be a bad thing for you."
Narakuten said slowly, "You still care about this eldest son, don't you?"
He found He Chunhua so quickly because he wanted to see the other party's attitude.
“Blood is thicker than water.” He Chunhua sighed. “Besides, most of the men I send are no match for him and would only damage relations between the two countries.”
