Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health

Chapter 757: Chapter 296: Sleeping Beauty in the Sunlight

Ye Wuyue and Guan Xin fully exchanged their opinions on the matter of Celestial Venerable Mihua, the Grand Elder of the Supreme Palace, being a demon cultivator who has been lurking for a long time.

Guan Xin is a practical person. After carefully studying the various pieces of evidence provided by Ye Wuyue and confirming the situation was true, she reported the situation to Wenxin Heaven at the first opportunity, emphasizing in the report,

"This matter is of great importance and must be dealt with promptly!"

When Wang Ding received this report, he was initially shocked, then thought there must be a mistake. However, Guan Xin’s report was extremely detailed, with no scholarly pretensions, integrating the investigation report of the Demon Extermination Bureau. It was over fifty thousand words without a single wasted sentence, revealing the fact that Celestial Venerable Mihua is a demon cultivator from every angle.

Wang Ding immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and called over Great Saint Yan Cheng Li Kaide right away.

While Li Kaide was reviewing the report, Wang Ding, usually composed, couldn’t help but get up, pacing back and forth by the window with a worried expression.

After reading it, Li Kaide asked first thing,

"Do you think it’s real or not?"

Li Kaide’s expression was very complex. "Though it’s hard to believe, it should be true. In the investigation report from the Demon Extermination Bureau, every piece of evidence matches with the actual events."

Wang Ding said in a daze, "How on earth did the Immortal Continent Demon Extermination Bureau manage it? Over this period, they’ve practically turned over all the major forces in the Immortal Continent. Who would have thought, even the Supreme Palace wasn’t spared!"

Li Kaide asked, "How should we handle this? The Supreme Palace is different from other forces... Ye Wuyue’s clearing of other forces has aroused much resentment, but we could turn a blind eye, as what she did was, in principle, correct. But the Supreme Palace... can Wenxin Heaven still back her up?"

Wang Ding paced back and forth several times, his glasses sliding down his nose,

"White Jade Capital has just completely fallen out with Fan Wubing, irreconcilable, and it’s currently a tense time. As the Great Prosperity Festival is about to be held, the Farmer family will surely deliver a heavy blow to this world again. In such a complex and chaotic situation, it’s better for Wenxin Heaven to remain inactive."

"Isn’t this inappropriate?" Li Kaide said, "What about the response from Guan Xin and the Demon Extermination Bureau? From the report, their attitude is very clear and firm in wanting to clear out all demon cultivators. The case of Celestial Venerable Mihua at the Supreme Palace is too representative; if handled poorly, the public opinion impact could be enormous."

"This had to come up at this particular time." Wang Ding said, "What means did Ye Wuyue use to uncover this? Who exactly supported her rise to power!"

Now it seems that Wenxin Heaven initially thought to reduce Shangjing Immortal Dynasty’s power, consolidate its influence in the Immortal Continent, and brought in the Heaven-Questioning Sect, but... it somehow seems like a clever move gone wrong. The Immortal Continent Demon Extermination Bureau is gradually becoming somewhat out of control.

Wang Ding saw through it clearly, "This is clearly an attempt to drag Wenxin Heaven into the muddy waters!"

Li Kaide furrowed his brow, "If that’s the case, then we cannot let the manipulator behind the scenes have their way. Let the Immortal Continent Demon Extermination Bureau hand over the matter to us to handle, then we privately inform White Jade Capital of the situation. It’s best not to let it get too loud to avoid Wenxin Heaven being dragged into it."

Wang Ding said, "That’s the only way. Additionally, we must pull ourselves together and figure out what exactly is going on with Ye Wuyue!"

"Ye Wuyue is a princess of the Great Li... what if it’s Fan Wubing who supported her rise to power?"

"Then we must find a way to bring the Immortal Continent Demon Extermination Bureau back under control, directly governed by Wenxin Heaven. Such special tasks granted with special privileges cannot under any circumstances fall into the hands of the enemy."

"Alright."

Li Kaide immediately sent out a letter to inform Guan Xin of their decision.

...

"What! You say this matter is too involved, and Wenxin Heaven wants to handle it personally?!" Ye Wuyue’s eyes widened as she looked at Guan Xin in astonishment.

Guan Xin furrowed her brow, "That’s what the letter from Great Saint Yan Cheng stated." She handed the letter to Ye Wuyue.

After reading it, Ye Wuyue said angrily,

"The Demon Extermination Bureau has been working overtime on this matter, with nobody resting for even a quarter-hour! And now, it’s dismissed with just one sentence? Wenxin Heaven will handle it personally? What does this mean? Is it saying the Demon Extermination Bureau isn’t qualified to deal with a proven demon cultivator? Or does Wenxin Heaven think this matter has a significant impact on the Daoist School and wants to leave some face?"

Guan Xin pondered for a moment, "I’m afraid it’s more than that."

"Do you have any views?" Having interacted for some time, Ye Wuyue had come to admire Guan Xin for being a very realistic person. If she hadn’t already set her sights on a higher pursuit, Ye Wuyue might have attempted to delve deeper in conversation with her.

Guan Xin said, "The situation is turbulent. With Celestial Venerable Yu Chen, acting as the Little Freedom Official, having fallen, and the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device confirmed lost, the Daoist School is already caught in a quagmire. The matter of Celestial Venerable Mihua is undoubtedly adding insult to injury. On the surface, the status of the Daoist School might not be shaken, but its reputation will surely be damaged. Handling this matter in the dark is to protect the Daoist School. But behind the scenes..."

She hesitated, unsure how to express it.

Ye Wuyue pressed on, "What’s the situation behind the scenes?"

After some hesitation, Guan Xin finally spoke, "I’m afraid Wenxin Heaven wants to stay out of trouble and avoid being caught up in it. To act against Celestial Venerable Mihua, the World Order must be invoked. And to invoke the World Order would mean that Wenxin Heaven becomes the main force in adding insult to injury to the Daoist School. This probably isn’t what Wenxin Heaven wants to see."

Ye Wuyue knitted her brow, "Are you sure?"

Guan Xin let out a sigh.
