Chapter 599: Heaven-Bestowed Talismans

Luo Si, guided by Gray Bone Elder, cultivated continuously and gradually rose through the ranks. He has now become the foremost general under the command of the Wangchuan Prefecture Lord.

His position is high and his power is great, yet he has no attachment or self-satisfaction. His desire for revenge has grown stronger with his increasing power, tormenting him almost to the point of madness.

Whenever this happens, he comes to the bank of the Wangchuan River to fish, using the river water to wash away the vengeful emotions that block his chest.

When he learned from Gray Bone Elder that he would suffer a calamity, he was instead thrilled and excited. This meant that his revenge was finally approaching a big step!

The so-called calamity was not his focus. What he yearned for was revenge, revenge!

So at that time, he immediately replied, asking Gray Bone Elder for details, asking him how to treat the fated person and how to ensure he could obtain a good destiny.

Gray Bone Elder replied and told him that as long as he treated them in an ordinary manner, it would be fine. Any slight pretense would be seen through and would instead be detrimental, leading to effort doubling and results halving.

Luo Si then acted according to the elder's instructions, sitting and fishing by the Wangchuan River bank for three days and three nights, always waiting quietly.

It was strange to say, but usually, there would be two or three ghosts passing by the river bank. However, these three days, there was not a single soul.

It wasn't until Luo Si waited for Sun Ling Tong!

The first time he saw Sun Ling Tong, he secretly thought: "This person only has Foundation Building cultivation, could it be my benevolent lord? No, Senior Gray Bone said that it is someone I can meet who will be a lifelong benevolent lord. Perhaps he is only an intermediary."

From the beginning, Luo Si treated Sun Ling Tong with special respect.

Although Sun Ling Tong was only at Foundation Building and very young, his life experience was truly too rich, especially recently at Qian Feng Lin in Liang Zhu Country. He had almost personally participated in and witnessed clashes at the Deity Transformation level. To a "small" Nascent Soul like Luo Si, his impression was just so-so.

On the battlefield at Qian Feng Lin, it wasn't without Nascent Soul cultivators falling!

Luo Si saw that Sun Ling Tong was only a mere Foundation Building cultivator, yet he treated him without being humble or arrogant, being natural and poised. He had his own calculations in his heart.

He strictly followed Gray Bone Elder's instructions, maintaining an ordinary attitude, cultivating just as he should.

Waiting until he lost his memory and saw in a daze that the river waves had just receded, and again saw that his spare fishing gear was already in Sun Ling Tong's hand, he couldn't help but find it stranger, and his heart became even more certain of Sun Ling Tong's identity.

Sun Ling Tong wanted to go to the Yang Realm, to the Yin Tide Black Marsh Wetland. Luo Si then involuntarily thought: "Could it be that the person behind him is also interested in the White Paper Immortal City in the Yang Realm? Since he covets the Yang Realm so much... this is a great good thing. If he doesn't intervene in the Yang Realm in the future, how will I then get my revenge?"

Thus, Luo Si then greatly opened convenient doors for Sun Ling Tong.

But these inside truths did not need to be revealed. Gray Bone Elder had cared to mention in the letter that many divination results become inaccurate if spoken aloud and will add variables. In the vast majority of situations, they can only be re-divined.

But this matter could not be left unmentioned, otherwise, there would be no human favor to speak of in the future. He could vaguely mention the calamity.

As expected, when Sun Ning listened to this part, both were greatly interested.

This was the first time they had encountered such a thing.

"Gray Bone Elder?" The two of them firmly remembered this title in their hearts respectively.

At the same time, both of them raised their vigilance to twelve points, thinking whether this mysterious divination cultivator could or could not calculate their true background.

Among the hundred arts of cultivation, divination has always been a very secret school of skill, which ordinary cultivators find very difficult to come into contact with.

Sun Ling Tong looked at Luo Si: "Your meaning is that I can help you resolve the calamity? How do I not know that I have this ability? I am only a small Foundation Building cultivator, Senior also thinks too highly of me."

Without doubt, this was a probe.

Luo Si shook his head, with a smile on his face: "I only acted according to Gray Bone Elder's entrustment, waiting here for three days and three nights, doing ordinary cultivation. This is already the third day, and you are the only person I have encountered. If there is no one behind you, then it is you."

"As for your doubts, I also have no clue. In my view, of course, the higher the cultivation, the better."

"However, combining the conversation you and I just had, I now see that perhaps my calamity corresponds to something within the White Paper Immortal City."

Speaking of which, Luo Si sighed slightly: "A general who fights a hundred battles will die. I have no relatives or friends in the Wangchuan Underworld, but I have risen all the way without obstacles, continuously being promoted smoothly. This is very rare. I only fear that the inherent forces of the Wangchuan Underworld, as local snakes, have already known about the battle for White Paper Immortal City early on, and are all unwilling to step forward, so they pushed me to this position, wanting me to fill the pit."

Sun Ning's hearts simultaneously stirred.

Sun Ling Tong: "Since that is the case, does Senior Luo Si still want to serve the Wangchuan Underworld?"

Luo Si nodded, and said with a solemn face: "Of course! First, although White Paper Immortal City is dangerous, I may not necessarily be unable to take it down. I always need to try. Second, since I enjoy this position, I naturally want to shoulder responsibility. This is also my nature."

Sun Ling Tong circled in place, with a face full of interest: "Interesting, truly interesting."

He had a strong desire to explore.

He looked at Luo Si: "If I just changed my mind now and didn't go to the Yang Realm to play, what then?"

Luo Si thought in his heart: "Play? I fear you have a heavy duty on your body and must go to the Yang Realm to scout out the reality, right?"

Luo Si just wanted to say it didn't matter, but then thought of Gray Bone Elder's entrustment, and then spoke according to his nature: "I feel you should go. Why are you changing your mind? It's nothing more than hearing my words. My saying them out has increased variables and changed the predetermined track."

"To resolve my calamity, I will force you over!"

"With your mere Foundation Building, you also cannot block my means."

Sun Ling Tong laughed heartily, and at the same time secretly exchanged with Ning Zhuo: "Xiao Zhuo, this isn't too good. My body is no longer my own now, but my idea in my heart also wants to enter the game with my body and personally experiment to see the wonders of divination."

"Whether I can help Luo Si resolve the calamity is secondary. If I personally participate, perhaps I can help you from this aspect."

Ning Zhuo secretly nodded: "I also want to see what kind of wonders this matter of divination and prophecy exactly has."

After the two discussed, Sun Ling Tong then said to Luo Si: "No need for Senior to force me, I will go voluntarily."

"However, this trip is likely extremely dangerous as it concerns helping Senior you resolve the calamity. I don't know if Senior has anything good to give me?"

"The Emperor is still not short of hungry soldiers."

Luo Si nodded, indicating strong agreement: "The three armies do not move, grain comes first, this is the truth. Tell me, what do you want?"

Sun Ling Tong thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and said: "If Senior can grant me a military position, allowing me to lead an army to fight, perhaps it will be more possible to help Senior you resolve the calamity. I also want to experience being a general."

"Good idea, old big!" Ning Zhuo secretly praised.

As long as he gets the corresponding military position, he can replicate his feat in the great war at Qian Feng Lin and leverage out more powerful combat power.

At the time of Qian Feng Lin, his combat power was limited to the peak level of Golden Core and could not break through no matter what.

But now it may not be the same.

Ning Zhuo left Liang Zhu Country and traveled diligently for many days.

During this period, Ning Zhuo's strength is still rapidly progressing. Especially his cultivation has even leaped two layers. So if he can borrow a military position and military strategy, perhaps he can leverage out combat power at the Nascent Soul level!

But Luo Si resolutely shook his head, not hesitating at all.

"Your origins are unclear, how can I easily give you a military position? How can I not disappoint my duty as a great general?"

On one hand, Luo Si naturally would not do this. On the other hand, he also considered that the person in front of him was involved with his future benevolent lord and he must leave a good impression.

If he rashly promised an outsider a military position, how would his benevolent lord view him? Would he still be entrusted with heavy duties in the future?

Luo Si had some regrets about asking Sun Ling Tong what he wanted. He was worried that his opponent would propose another condition that he could not satisfy, so he resolutely changed his strategy and took out a talisman from his bosom.

"Like this."

"I will give you this Heaven Grant Talisman. For you, the benefits are extremely great!"

"After you use it, you will immediately understand that its effect is stronger than any spirit pill or wonder medicine you take."

After speaking, without waiting for Sun Ling Tong to refuse, Luo Si just stuffed a talisman into his hand.

Sun Ling Tong examined it carefully and saw that this talisman was about three inches and seven fen long, the entire body was of ink jade, flowing with a dark gold luster. In the center was embedded a complete Yan Luo Four Directions seal mark, and the edge of the talisman body was surrounded by pictures of the eighteen hells.

Each picture was lifelike. For example, the picture of the ice mountain region would emit some cold fog, and the sinner of the karma fire clone would also have a scorched breath.

On the back of the jade talisman, engraved with complete "Yin Law Thirteen Chapters" vermilion text, the handwriting faintly emitted a blood light.

"Heaven Grant Talisman?" Sun Ling Tong looked at Luo Si again, his face showing a look of doubt.

Luo Si nodded: "Many people come for the black snow, it can increase cultivation and foundation. And where does the black snow come from?"

"It is precisely the ritual of the Heaven Ghost Transformation Birth Offering Calamity personally hosted by the Prefecture Lord."

"This ritual takes yang to supplement yin, therefore gaining the reward of the Yin Realm Heaven, which can elevate the foundation without drawbacks."

"Black snow is only the most minor flawed part of the Heaven's reward, while a cultivator possessing the Heaven Grant Talisman can prioritize enjoying the most essential part from this ritual."

"Although I can't use it, Xiao Zhuo can use it!" Sun Ling Tong thought of this and hurriedly thanked him, accepting this Heaven Grant Talisman.

Luo Si thought for a moment, still caring to say: "Attacking the city is mainly divided into two routes, one route goes straight forward and attacks the city wall. The other route is a surprise attack from within, aiming to create chaos inside the enemy and strive for a pincer attack situation from inside and outside."

"You want to go to the Yang Realm and not mix in the internal attack? If you want to experience the battlefield, just go attack the city wall."

Sun Ling Tong pretended not to understand, with a stirred heart, and asked for guidance: "Senior Luo Si, how do you say this?"

Luo Si hesitated a bit, but still slightly explained: "The current situation is still unclear, and the fire to conquer White Paper Immortal City from within has not yet arrived."

"For example, in this small team for the internal chaos, although six Golden Core Ghost Generals are gathered to concentrate the attack on the south gate, I still think they cannot succeed."

Sun Ling Tong widened his eyes, deliberately asking: "Even six Golden Core surprise attacks cannot create internal chaos?"

"Could it be that White Paper City Lord personally acts? But I heard that her condition is very poor and she is always in a self-sealed state?"

Luo Si: "Moreover, not to mention that White Paper City Lord has paper man clones, even without them, the water in White Paper Immortal City is also very deep. The person who built this Immortal City that year, namely the Refinement Void level great power Xuan Su Scholar, White Paper Immortal City is his proud work of a lifetime, and there are definitely many secrets that have not been dug out."

Sun Ling Tong: "I understand. Attacking the outer city wall still leaves room to retreat. But attacking the interior means there is no road to retreat once discovered."

"But if that's the case, wouldn't this internal attack route be sending heads?"

"And this time they are still consecutively sending six Golden Core Ghost Generals?"

Luo Si shook his head: "First, mercy does not command soldiers. Their sacrifice has value and can probe out more details about the enemy. If we grasp such intelligence, we will be prepared and avoid a situation where the main army is trapped."

"Second, among the Ghost Generals this time, there is a Silent Ghost General who possesses the talent of silence. With such means to protect him, it also adds many chances for surprise attacks and retreats."

Sun Ling Tong immediately reminded: "Xiao Zhuo, did you hear that?"

"Yes." Ning Zhuo became alert.

He had heard of this talent. A person with this talent, no matter what they say, will not make a sound. Their ordinary heavy footsteps are also much quieter than an ordinary person's light footsteps. It can be said that they are natural assassins.

Since he knows, then it will be relatively convenient to crack it.

Ning Zhuo immediately conceived of secretly arranging another layer of defense array.

Luo Si continued: "Calculating the time, there is not much left. You want to go and rendezvous with the main army and go to the Yang Realm together."

Sun Ling Tong: "How should I go?"

Luo Si: "Someone will lead you, you don't have to worry. The path of the army is not allowed to be leaked, so I will take action and specially eliminate this segment of your memory. I hope you understand."

Sun Ling Tong: "Wait... where is this?"

He felt that he only dazed for a bit and then discovered that the surrounding environment had changed dramatically.

The Yin tide rolled, and he himself was on a war chariot.

The war chariot moved forward slowly, and around it were walking Yin soldiers, their numbers were very large.

Sun Ling Tong shook his head and immediately reacted: he had already been brought into the attacking army, and the means that Luo Si had used on his body were effective, making him forget all the memories about the army's path.

"Heh heh heh." Seeing Sun Ling Tong's foolish look, the Golden Core Ghost Cultivators on the war chariot all let out mockery.

"Adult Luo Si eliminated your memory, which shows that your relationship with him is also not that great."

"Holding a token is just bragging, now it's exposed."

"Really laughable, pitiful..."

The Ghost Cultivators mocked wantonly.

Sun Ling Tong dazed for a bit, and doubted in his heart: "Why are they so bad to me? Why? What exactly happened during the time I lost my memory? What did I do?"

Sun Ling Tong felt that he should first observe and collect intelligence, so he coldly snorted and didn't retort, sitting down directly.

Almost all the Golden Core Ghost Cultivators on the chariot were mocking Sun Ling Tong, only the Golden Core Ghost Cultivator next to Sun Ling Tong always kept silent.

Sun Ling Tong then asked him, and as soon as these words were spoken, they immediately triggered a burst of laughter.

"This is too ironic!"

"Actually asking Silent adult for guidance, heh heh heh, if you knew this would happen, why be so arrogant in the first place?"

"This is too funny, ha ha ha."
