Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 575 Southward, Spring Has Not Yet Arrived

Fu Shan walked alone in Nanli City.

Her expression was slightly grave; this year, spring had come late to Nanli.

In order to escape from the secret chamber, Fu Shan has been pushing the Ju Que sect toward destruction for a thousand years. Now, it is the will of Heaven that has brought about its demise.

The sword lies cold at the bottom of the river, and spring never comes to Nanli.

The climate in the south has become abnormal, which will not only lead to poor harvests, but also damage commonly used medicinal herbs. Other natural disasters may also occur one after another.

Fushan stands alone by the river.

Before spring arrives, turbid waves push away the ice, and the icy cold river water surges and flows endlessly for thousands of years.

"Plop—"

An old man is jumping into the river.

This immediately caused an uproar among the people on the riverbank. Some, unable to bear it, were about to jump in to rescue the person, but were stopped by those around them.

"Don't go to rescue them, they'll only suffer!"

"There's no one left in the family, just one child. Yesterday, he unfortunately offended an immortal from the Juque Sect. He was kicked twice in the chest, and kept spitting out blood. He died that very night."

"I cried most of the night. I'm already old and sick, and now my only hope is gone. My spirits have been broken. Sigh..."

"The river water is so cold. Even if you come up, you'll fall seriously ill and suffer terribly. You won't survive. You're still young, you still have hope!"

The man who was about to jump down to save the person had bloodshot eyes and a hoarse voice, and said:

"I can't go on living either... I came back too late, and my sister is gone..."

The surroundings instantly became quiet.

But some kind-hearted people couldn't bear it and kept holding him tightly, preventing him from jumping.

Fu Shan lowered his eyes and looked into the river.

As the dark waves surged, the old man's body was quickly submerged.

Seeking justice for the dead is a very unprofitable endeavor, especially since the only remaining relative is dead. Fu Shan will not sacrifice the Juque Sect cultivators because of this matter.

She saw the river water drown the old man.

He was about to turn and leave when he heard what the man said.

It was quite a coincidence that this man was mentioned.

He was going to the gates of the Juque Sect to try to see the immortals and get his sister back. Although he knew it was impossible and he would most likely lose his life, he was willing to risk his poor, worthless life for that 20% chance.

No, he wasn't born poor or had a wretched life.

He would instinctively jump down to save people; his first reaction is to do good. This has been the case in many simulations, and the probability is very high.

Therefore, Zhu Wuyao chose him.

By using endless phenomena to set aside cause and effect, and by coincidence to lead him to the riverbank, Zhu Wuyao "saw" that his arrival at the riverbank would postpone the time when Ge Mingsheng would encounter danger.

And he will also benefit from this.

Fu Shan raised his hand.

The person who grabbed the man was pushed aside.

The next instant, the man was pulled in front of him by spiritual force. He saw the cultivator whose face was completely disfigured, his calm eyes fixed on him, and he asked:

"Do you know what the cultivator who arrested them looks like?"

"The neighbors...they saw it! Immortal, are you a cultivator from the Giant Que Sect? Please..."

The man hesitated somewhat, but a glimmer of hope rose within him. Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted:

"Take me to someone who has seen the appearance of a monk."

"If she dies, I will kill you to prevent you from holding a grudge against Juque; if she is still alive, I can help you save her, but you and your family must join the Juque Sect."

"Do you understand?"

This person possesses spiritual roots and is of good character.

Currently, the disciples in the Juque Sect are of little use and can be described as a bunch of worthless scoundrels. Fu Shan urgently needs some capable people to fill the vacancies and help her reorganize the Juque Sect.

She has been doing this recently.

They are currently selecting suitable candidates.

Because of this incident, Fu Shan returned to the Juque Sect a little later than usual.

"Quickly, don't just stand around, you guys hurry up and assemble the drilling shuttle, I'm going to scout out the route nearby!"

Mingzhu was extremely anxious.

No, I shouldn't say I'm in a hurry, I should say I'm anxious.

Perhaps it won't be long before these arrangements are discovered by the Juque Sect's patrols around the area, and perhaps before they can rescue anyone, her few people will have to escape first;

Perhaps her close friend in the box will not be in danger in the near future, so her trip was in vain;

Or perhaps... she has already perished, and she arrived too late;

Even though he arrived at the right time, Mingzhu couldn't be sure whether the "coincidence" really existed.

If what Sister Wu said is true—that she is destined for a calamity and is favored by Heaven.

So this time, fate has been kind to me and coincidence has been kind to her; may this journey fulfill my wishes.

Ge Mingsheng did not believe in fate.

But Mingzhu believes.

So she was praying for her.

I pray to fate, and also to Sister Wu, who may always be secretly protecting my close friend in the box.

There's not much she can do but be extremely absurd, creating the necessary conditions for a miracle to happen, and preparing for that "chance encounter."

In the cloth bag beside him was the larger flying ring.

A wisp of Mingzhu's divine consciousness remained attached to it, and she could immediately detect any slips of paper that fell.

Fortunately, she still had friends in Licheng who were willing to accompany her here for a visit.

"Elder Fu, the person has been found."

Ge Mingsheng clasped his hands in a salute, waved his hand, and the junior brothers and sisters beside him escorted the two Juque Sect cultivators who had forcibly abducted men and women forward.

Not only these two cultivators, but also three mortals were present.

One of them was the man's sister.

Ge Mingsheng felt uneasy because she had noticed this incident yesterday and was secretly preparing to find fault with it, to see if there was a way to disguise the act of saving people as a scheme to trip them up.

Within the Juque Sect, infighting is understandable; if you win, others might even praise you for your "ability."

But if it's to save someone, then their motives need to be questioned.

Unexpectedly, Elder Fu, who had just emerged from seclusion a few days earlier, entrusted this matter to her, instructing her to find the person as soon as possible.

The mortal woman suffered some hardship, but fortunately her life was not in danger.

Ge Mingsheng handled the matter with exceptional efficiency and decisiveness.

Her unease stemmed from the fact that Elder Fu had only instructed her to rescue the mortal woman, while Ge Mingsheng, driven by "selfish motives," had brought two other people along as well.

Hopefully, we can find a legitimate way out, and Elder Fu can also release the other two as well.

Otherwise, those who were on good terms with these two cultivators might have eliminated them to avoid trouble and leave evidence of their crimes.

Ge Mingsheng did not arrest the two cultivators' friends as well.

That would be going too far.

Elder Fu might feel that this matter has become too big of a fuss, so he might as well try to calm things down and ignore it. Between eliminating the threat and saving lives, the latter is more urgent.

Moreover, she also noticed that something was wrong with the Juque Sect recently.

With a vigilant heart, she was extra careful in her actions. Bringing those two mortals along was one of the few things she could do to protect herself.

"The woman was unharmed and safe."

Fortunately, this person was also quick-witted and adaptable, and tried his best to protect himself from the two cultivators.
