My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 597: Chapter 61: Zhan Kan_3

Ji Xin looked at Tang Language, who seemed to be sleepwalking, took a deep breath, and repeated, "I said, I need your clan’s help. Contact your grandmother and have her meet with me."

"Grandmother."

Tang Language heard this, glanced at Xia Yue on the ground, and finally reacted, "Okay..."

Ji Xin averted her gaze, saying nothing more.

She knew very well that Tang Language still hadn’t fully grasped the situation.

In fact, everyone present felt the same way...

Even she was no exception.

But she couldn’t sleepwalk, nor could she be sad, because these emotions were superfluous at the moment and would only affect her judgment.

Xia Yue was dead.

And the commotion from Kunlun was too great, attracting too much attention... too many people witnessed the collective parade of the Kunlun Pantheon and Xia Yue’s ultimate death in battle.

The news could not be completely sealed off.

This meant that once the affairs on the Kunlun side were settled, Celestial Strategy Mansion would face challenges on all fronts.

It was foreseeable; a storm was definitely coming.

What’s more.

Ji Xin looked at Mount Tai, sitting on the ground, eyes closed, appearing as if in a state of suspended animation... her inner agitation made her lift her hand and bite her finger hard.

But this loss of composure didn’t last long.

She released her hand after leaving clear teeth marks on her slender fingers and looked towards Luo Mountain: "Stay with Mount Tai and tell me immediately if there’s any situation. Once he wakes up, have him go to the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters immediately, and arrange for Xia Yue’s body.

Besides, no matter how you Kunlun folk decide to act, I need you to take care of things here today and then all head to the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters."

"...Okay."

Luo Mountain agreed without hesitation.

But his gaze never left Xia Yue on the ground.

"Yu Zhou."

Ji Xin finally looked at Yu Zhou, whose face was unable to hide his sorrow, waiting for him to lift his head. Her expression was cold as steel: "I need you to go to West Mountain, keep an eye on the Wu Family, and tell them to stay put with those old folks they represent.

If there’s trouble, hide. Now that the Celestial Strategy Mansion encounters issues, appearing to provoke will be seen as treason... tell them, once I decide their treason, I will not hesitate to kill all their direct and collateral relatives.

Whether or not they are Empowerers.

I will not care about their innocence, just tell them, I, Ji Xin, can do such things."

"..."

Yu Zhou was taken aback, looking at Ji Xin’s cold face. He opened his mouth, but thinking of Xia Yue, he finally bowed his head and agreed.

"I will return to headquarters first. Contact me immediately when there’s a result of what’s been instructed."

Having arranged everything, Ji Xin immediately looked at Shanli.

Next... it was time to placate the internal affairs of the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

Shanli remained silent, pushing Ji Xin towards the parking area.

The scenery receded.

Ji Xin’s previously clear eyes gradually lost focus.

But she quickly realized something was wrong, took a deep breath, and then raised her hands to rub her face vigorously.

...Old-time Empowerers.

Those restless, thousand-year-old ancient temples, Daoist temples.

External forces, the Roman Catholic Church.

And whether to proceed with the original plan to prosecute the prisoner of the Holy Coffin Knight.

A multitude of issues needing decisions overwhelmed her mind.

Shanli, pushing the wheelchair, watched Ji Xin cover her face, suddenly speaking softly, "...Sorry."

"This is not the time to say such things."

Ji Xin came to her senses, slowly putting her hands down, her expression returning to calm: "It only distracts us without any benefit."

"..."

Shanli remained silent, saying nothing more, instead glancing back at Xia Yue in the distance. Thinking of the magnificent scene he had witnessed, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, and he suddenly spoke softly, "So... even someone so powerful can die."

"..."

This time, Ji Xin did not respond, nor did she speak of distractions, but instead also looked back silently.

After a long while, she lightly said, "...Let me know the outcome of the Third Brigade’s affairs immediately."

"Okay."

Shanli withdrew his gaze, suppressing his unnecessary thoughts, his eyelids drooping: "But... why did you choose Si Yujie to nominate Celestial Strategy?"

"Because Chen Lusi has already touched the threshold of Zhan Kan."

Ji Xin looked ahead, replying softly, "He’s just short of seeing his own heart clearly."
