Chapter 2548: Heavenly Punishment
Zu An had only promised the old chieftain he'd impersonate Yi to learn about Yi’s murderer. But not only had he failed to uncover the identity of the murderer, the Chang clan had even been massacred. He hadn't thought there was a need for him to continue this act.
Little had he expected Lady Houtu to call the shots and decide that he would continue being Yi. She'd even bestowed him with a droplet of shaman blood essence so his act would be more convincing. That blood essence was none other than the aura he'd felt, and he could feel the tremendous power contained within it as it fused with his body. Fully assimilating it could bring his prowess up another level.
Judging from Xingtian and Kuafu’s envious looks, he could tell how valuable the blood essence was, but he still had doubts about this development. He looked at the blurry figure in the sky and asked, “Lady Houtu, why do you want me to impersonate Yi?”
Houtu’s ethereal voice rang out, “It is fate’s arrangement. You’ll know in the future.”
Zu An was mystified. Riddle after riddle.
He wanted to ask more, but Xingtian interjected, “Milady, do you know the culprit behind the Chang clan’s massacre?”
“Too much is involved in this matter. It is beyond your jurisdiction.”
Zu An’s heart skipped a beat. What's involved here for her to answer in such a manner?
“As for Bao Jiang’s murder, inform the Goddess of Wu Mountain of the matter. It is most apt for someone of her lofty standing to deal with it,” Houtu said before the portrait in the sky faded.
“Yes!” Despite Houtu’s disappearance, Xingtian and Kuafu didn’t drop their etiquette. Their respect for Houtu came from the bottom of their hearts.
Then, they bowed to Zu An and asked, “Will you accompany us to Wu Mountain to explain things to the Goddess of Wu Mountain? You are, after all, a witness to Bao Jiang’s murder.”
