Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health

Chapter 689: Chapter 272: The One Who Acts on Behalf of the Heavenly Dao

The Demon Extermination Bureau from Taiyi Continent arrived late.

Looking at the petals wilting across the mountain and the lingering stench of decay, the bureau members felt despair.

"We arrived too late," sighed one member.

"The Decaying Demon Dao has already taken root throughout the jurisdiction of the Heaven-Reaching Gate... This indicates that the Heaven-Reaching Gate has long been infiltrated and eroded, now it’s merely when the decay is blooming. Unexpectedly, the meticulous Celestial Venerable Qianji failed to predict that the Heaven-Reaching Gate would suffer such a disaster."

The bureau members, having donned their protective gear, cautiously entered the dilapidated Heaven-Reaching Gate. In midair, a shattered small world hung, disintegrating continuously into the greater world due to the loss of its master, like a tall building collapsing from top to bottom.

"It seems that the Celestial Venerable Qianji was already corrupted by the Decaying Demon Dao, hence couldn’t foresee this event."

"It must be the result of direct action by the Rot Demon Lord. After a thousand years, her power has reached a new level."

Suddenly, a cry of alarm came from the center of the Heaven-Reaching Gate, "Come over quickly!"

The bureau members quickly flew over, gasped upon seeing the scene before them, their pupils trembling involuntarily.

"This is..."

Before them, upon a giant, rotting petal, lay a cold corpse.

"It is the Rot Demon Lord."

One member hurriedly stepped forward to investigate, then turned his head and said oddly, "Dead. The body gone, the path obliterated, nothing remains."

The Rot Demon Lord was dead.

"Did she perish together with the Heaven-Reaching Gate?"

"It appears not. There’s someone else."

"Hurry up and check if there are any preserved image fragments around!" The team leader among them instructed.

They quickly moved, each employing their methods to search for any remaining traces.

Two hours later, they thoroughly explored a perimeter of five hundred miles and pieced together a relatively complete image.

After viewing the image, they were all so shocked they couldn’t blink, merely muttering a name,

"Fan Wubing!"

The news of the Heaven-Reaching Gate’s disaster was quickly reported by the Demon Extermination Bureau from Taiyi Continent to Wenxin Heaven, meanwhile, the name Fan Wubing, like a startling chord, once again shocked the celestial beings.

They all knew, it was Fan Wubing who killed the Rot Demon Lord.

Once, the collective effort of the world in the demon exterminating battle couldn’t kill the Rot Demon Lord.

He did it alone.

And before this, he had already grandly appeared by killing the Beast Demon Lord. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"So, perhaps Fan Wubing isn’t of the evil path?" said a young saint.

In Wenxin Heaven, a meeting was convened to discuss the matter concerning the Heaven-Reaching Gate.

Yu Xuan Great Saint Wang Ding sat in the prime position, eyes half-closed as if resting.

Below him, the saints and great saints were heatedly debating about Fan Wubing.

"The Sea of Eternal Life’s disaster is still vivid in our minds. Fan Wubing must have defied something to incur the Heavenly Slayer Calamity. Rising from such a barren place as Little South Continent, repeatedly achieving feats that cannot be simply termed as ’genius’, isn’t this in itself an evil path?"

"There still exists the likes of the Immortal Su Saintess, a person who comprehends the Dao in the morning and becomes a saint by evening, almost ascending at the spot. Thinking of it, Fan Wubing’s wonders might not be that remarkable, right?"

"The Immortal Su Saintess is a chosen executor of fate, it’s not surprising. But Fan Wubing, not only is he not chosen, he even faced the Heavenly Slayer. Let’s look at his record..." The speaker was Great Saint Yan Cheng Li Kaide, who raised his hand to unfold a large painted scroll depicting Fan Wubing’s life, "When he was born, there was a strange phenomenon, and it was deemed difficult for him to survive past five years. Joined the Eternal Immortal Sect and remained an ordinary person until the age of fourteen.

"But at fourteen, he suddenly became famous, won the championship at Peach Blossom Spring, achieved great harvest, and even uprooted the Purple Aura Paulownia tree.

"At sixteen, he defeated the Great Li Emperor Ye Chuxuan, becoming the Imperial Dynasty’s Knocker.

"At seventeen, he vindicated the Eternal Night Snow Mountain, resolving the early crisis of the Fallen Immortal Land.

"At twenty, he suffered the Heavenly Slayer Calamity, which none present could escape.

"However, he did not die, and thirty years later, reappeared as the slayer of the Beast Demon Lord, revealing his sainthood. And now, he has slain the Rot Demon Lord. What do you make of this history?"

Li Kaide looked towards the great saints and saints present.

"So, what happened when he was fourteen?" someone asked.

Li Kaide shook his head, "Now it’s impossible to investigate. If Celestial Venerable Qianji were still here, we could ask him to calculate, but... among those present, if any are proficient in the principles of destiny, they might try deducing it."

The crowd shook their heads silently.

Though they were skilled, their research on the principles of destiny was limited to ordinary divination techniques, far from the extent of Celestial Venerable Qianji’s capabilities, as this ability requires extensive time to master. As the representative figure of the Yin Yang School, Celestial Venerable Qianji spent ten thousand years on this, let alone them.

"The Shangjing Immortal Dynasty’s Left Minister is also a Yin Yang School genius."

"Pei Weiyi?" Li Kaide pondered, "Perhaps I should visit her at some point."

"Are there other possibilities?"

"What?" freewebnσvel.cøm

"The Wenxin Chronicle."

The Wenxin Chronicle that records all matters big and small throughout the ages.

Upon these words, Yu Xuan Great Saint Wang Ding, who had remained silent, suddenly opened his eyes,

"The Wenxin Chronicle cannot be casually opened, surely you understand, do not bring this up again."

Li Kaide asked, "Yu Xuan, what is your opinion?"

Wang Ding slowly put on his glasses, "Consider actions, not intentions; Fan Wubing has yet to commit evil, thus Wenxin Heaven does not advocate attacking him. But fundamentally, he is a man who defies the Heavenly Dao, he is not one of us, and ought to be opposed and isolated."
