My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 569 - 52: Stop!!!

Because the two sisters always have a lot to say to him.

For instance, at this moment.

Now like this.

Probably it will always be like this.

In the future...

Chen Lusi thought of something, suddenly became a bit lost in thought.

Many things he hadn’t considered before suddenly came to mind.

Those things he used to think were unimportant now have become the things he cares about the most.

Chen Lusi spent a while figuring out the reason for this.

Perhaps it was because... of responsibility.

"By the way."

Lin Ying, while complaining, suddenly thought of something, raised her head, and once again rested her chin on Chen Lusi’s chest.

"Hmm?"

Chen Lusi snapped back to reality, looking at Lin Ying’s blushing, pretty, and enchanting face.

Lin Ying tilted her head and asked, "Your actions always remind me of unpleasant things. Let me ask you... is your favorite movie still ’Vanishing Lover’?"

"..."

Chen Lusi paused in stroking her hair, then shook his head: "Not anymore."

Lin Ying was a bit curious: "Then what is it?"

"Heartbeat."

"...Oh."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ying was slightly dumbfounded, then her beautiful oval face showed a charming smile that seemed to heal people’s hearts.

...

Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.

Perhaps for Chen Lusi, last night was special.

But for most of the members of Celestial Strategy Mansion involved in handling the invasion event, last night was not special.

The ’alliance army’ of the Roman Catholic Church, Ise Jingu, and Mujin New Church was successfully detained, while the black market also achieved its goals, and the details on Chuituo Beach were not leaked.

The only thing considered imperfect... was probably that Chen Lusi was currently in a self-sealing phase and couldn’t fight.

But he was only self-sealing, which was already the best news for Celestial Strategy Mansion.

After all, proactive self-sealing and passive sealing are two different things, capturing the ’alliance army’ with zero casualties, Xia Yue is handling related matters, no loss here, no big deal there.

Though the Celestial Thunder in the final stage was indeed exaggerated... Xia Yue’s guess was quite daunting.

However, most people instinctively admire strength, and for most ordinary members present then, no matter how daunting the guess sounded, Celestial Strategy Mansion had enough talented individuals, and someone strong would resolve these issues.

Because even if they were to handle it, they were powerless...

And once a trusted person is handling it, for most ordinary members, all big problems become small ones.

Unless... the strong pillar collapses.

This is human nature.

Xia Yue’s presence ensured that most people who personally experienced the invasion event slept well.

As for Ji Xin, she didn’t think that way. She clearly knew the serious consequences of this event, but she couldn’t spare time, as distributable battle resources were limited, and the problems were infinite.

So even though she understood the severity of Chen Lusi’s situation, she couldn’t focus only on this one matter.

She dealt with the Roman Catholic Church issue in stages yesterday.

It was only the next day that she had time to contact the Daoist leaders of the Four Great Daoist Mountains.

"...A portal-shaped Shrinking Earth Talisman!? To transfer those ’roaming’ gods!? Chen Lusi modified the talisman, allowing it to work again, thereby slowing down the rumored Ancestral Celestial Master’s Stone flow, rendering the entire ’Artificial Celestial Gate’ ineffective!?"

Zhang Xiufeng, over the phone, heard Ji Xin speaking such shocking words in an extremely calm tone.

Dumbfounded.

"Is this possible?"

Ji Xin calmly asked, "I’m asking for your opinion now."

"..."

Zhang Xiufeng remained very confused.

Only after a long time did he come to his senses, hesitantly replying, "Actually, within our Daoism... we had speculated that the ’Artificial Celestial Gate’ atop Kunlun was a portal-shaped transfer talisman."

"So it’s possible?" Ji Xin raised an eyebrow.

"No... this matter is too significant, and your speculation is too shocking. Our previous speculations can’t prove anything."

Zhang Xiufeng, upon hearing this, immediately let out a wry smile: "After all, although we had this speculation then, no matter how we experimented in front of the gate, whether with talismans, prayer exorcisms, or fasting and offering rituals, there was no reaction, making verification impossible, and we soon gave up.

Now you’re suddenly telling me that it’s the Ancestral Celestial Master’s Stone, also responsible for transferring ’roaming’ gods, how can I make a definitive conclusion?

And this is also related to Chen Lusi enabling the talismans again... To be honest, I’m currently very confused."

"Then go to the site and take a look now."

Ji Xin was silent for a moment after hearing this, then said: "You, along with the other leaders of the Three Daoist Famous Mountains, head to Kunlun. I don’t care what method you use, figure out if that is your Ancestral Celestial Master’s Stone, and at the same time, figure out the cost of Chen Lusi making the talismans work again and allowing you to regain the abilities of Daoists."

Zhang Xiufeng was stunned, seemingly not reacting.

Now?

Ji Xin: "Answer me."

Zhang Xiufeng quickly came to his senses, hesitated for less than a second, and immediately agreed: "...Okay."

No matter what.

This matter is closely related to them.

Not to mention the meaning of Chen Lusi to Daoism nowadays.

Just talking about Chen Lusi making the talismans work again, this gratitude... is enough to spur him into action.

Moreover.

It’s unclear why Chen Lusi was subjected to that thunderous treatment.

No one can guarantee whether something similar might befall them...

After all, in case it’s because of the talismans?
