CHAPTER 654: CHAPTER 394 OVERWHELMING POWER_3

Li Nuo’s highest cultivation is at the Fifth Realm Peak.

Moreover, not only does one cultivation reach the Fifth Realm, he had Senior Dongfang try to exchange one year of Li Nuo’s life span, which would cost him almost the same life span.

With this, the Semi-Saints of the Yin Yang School no longer posed any threat to him.

Now, he was no longer the newcomer from a few years ago with a scant life span; he had plenty of life to exchange.

He only worried that the Semi-Saint from the Ximen family might foresee this and leave in advance to avoid calamity, making his trip in vain.

That’s why he dared not let his master come over.

As soon as any Semi-Saint from the Yin Yang School below the Sixth Realm intended to deal with him, he could easily sense it.

Upon hearing Senior Dongfang say this, Li Nuo felt at ease.

Dongfang Xuan glanced at Li Nuo but withheld some words.

The changes caused by a hundred Grandmasters could actually be perceived by the Sixth Realm practitioners of the Yin Yang School. After all, even if they exhausted their life spans, they couldn’t possibly annihilate so many Grandmasters. The reason the Ximen family’s Semi-Saint couldn’t foresee was because of Li Nuo...

In the past, his fate was just a bit strange, with a life span that would change, but now, a vortex had already formed around him.

Within this vortex, all the secrets of heaven are veiled.

Even matters that are already destined would experience changes.

In this world, everyone, including Dongfang Xuan himself, had an inescapable fate.

Only he was not within the bounds of destiny.

Not only was his own fate unpredictable, but even the fates of those around him gradually became obscure...

Despite his age, instead of staying by the side of his only granddaughter to spend his remaining time teaching her, Dongfang Xuan followed Li Nuo on his journeys, striving to one day uncover the reason behind all this.

...

With the cooperation of the highest commander on the opposing side, ten thousand troops of the Central Army in Ke State were captured by the White Wolf Army without losing a single soldier.

The court of Yue Country controlled only five states, with each state having ten thousand stationed troops, most of whom were elite forces stationed in the capital, Bo State.

The ten thousand Central Army troops in Ke State were ordered to stand by, while Li Nuo left ten Grandmasters to guard, simultaneously searching the city of Ke State to rescue Daxia citizens abducted there.

The rest continued to advance with them.

Aside from Senior Dongfang, everyone else could fly, making their speed extremely fast.

An hour later, ten thousand Central Army troops in Guang State surrendered.

After another half-hour, ten thousand Central Army troops in Jie State were taken over.

In no time, the commanders in Gu State knelt before the barracks, indicating submission...

With a force capable of lightning strikes against the Five Great Dynasties, they struck swiftly at the small Wei Country, taking only three and a half hours to subdue all the five states under Yue Country’s control, except for the capital Bo State...

Bo State.

The people were oblivious to events outside the capital.

Inside the Imperial Palace, there was an air of revelry.

Although the Emperor of Yue Country no longer managed court affairs, he still resided in the palace, and the privileges of the Imperial Family remained.

Everything appeared to change yet remained the same in essence.

From a certain palace, licentious sounds emanated, and shortly after, two figures emerged. One looked back at the debauchery inside, remarking to the other: "The lifestyle of your Imperial Family is truly extravagant..."

The noble young man laughed, saying, "If Brother Ximen likes, I can prepare these for you every day..."

The young man waved his hand, saying, "That won’t be necessary..."

The noble young man, recalling something, asked: "Brother Ximen, last time you mentioned having Senior Ximen calculate my fate. Have you asked him yet?"

The young man hesitated, then replied: "I actually forgot about that. I’ll ask for you when I return and let you know when we meet tomorrow."

The noble young man clasped his hands together and said: "Thank you, Brother Ximen."

After leaving the Imperial Palace, the young man boarded a luxurious carriage.

Soon, the carriage stopped before a lavish estate.

He entered the estate, returned to his room, took out a slip of paper from a drawer, and went outside, crossed a few corridors, and approached a courtyard where an old man was seated on a stone bench. Bowing, he said: "Grandfather."

The old man, holding an ancient book, did not look at him and said indifferently: "I won’t interfere with you mingling with them, but don’t neglect your cultivation and waste your talent."

The young man immediately replied: "Understood."

After a pause, he said: "Not long ago, I promised the Third Prince of Yue Country that I would ask Grandfather to calculate his fate. He has helped me a lot recently..."

Before he could finish, the old man stretched out his hand and said: "Bring it here."

The young man promptly handed over the paper containing the birth information.

The old man took the paper, looked at the line of characters on it, and murmured: "The Yin Yang Technique of our Ximen family is unique, but we’re not adept at calculating fate. In the future, if the opportunity arises, you should try to obtain the Yin Yang Technique from the Dongfang family..."

The young man respectfully said: "Yes."

The old man looked at the birth information of the Third Prince of Yue Country, his fingers flicked slightly, and his brows furrowed slightly.

The young man impatiently asked: "Grandfather, how long can he live?"

The old man put down the paper and slowly extended one finger.

The young man was slightly stunned, saying: "One year? Impossible, his health seems very robust..."

The old man slowly said: "One day."

The young man widened his eyes: "One day?"

The old man said nothing, but for some reason, suddenly sensed a feeling of unease.

As a Sixth Realm practitioner of the Yin Yang School, it was impossible for him to feel uneasy without reason.

He calculated again with his fingers but found nothing abnormal.

He then took out a piece of turtle shell and a few copper coins from his bosom, casting the coins onto the shell, yet the divination remained normal.

He put away the turtle shell and copper coins, gazing up at the sky.

Could it really be that he was overthinking?
