Chapter 2566: Leaving a Hand
Zu An walked into the center of a group of Genesis Shamans and copied their kneeling posture. “They aren’t kneeling to the sculpture to pray. No, they're kneeling to someone who is of a lofty standing.”
The others were astonished to hear that. They quickly tried kneeling alongside the Genesis Shamans and looking toward the sculpture too—their expressions slowly turned grim. Clearly, they agreed with his deduction.
“Only a handful of people can inspire such respect from the Genesis Shamans,” the Goddess of Wu Mountain said. Her respect for Zu An deepened a little.
They had been still completely clueless just a second ago, but he was able to gather so much crucial information from these minor details. She had always preferred to maintain serenity, but a little ripple of emotions spread through her heart that had remained still for many years.
“Could it be an influential celestial from the Celestial Court?” Zu An asked Wuhui, in hopes that the latter could help to brainstorm as to who fit the criteria.
Wuhui was infuriated. “Nonsense! The Celestial Court has no such conspirators! I bet the shamans are behind this! Only another shaman could command such worship from the Genesis Shaman race.”
You have successfully trolled Wuhui for +299... +299... +299...
The Mermaid Queen interjected, “The Shaman races have unbridled personalities and wouldn’t easily submit to others, especially their peers. Other than Lady Houtu and the other Ancestral Shamans, there is no shaman who can inspire such respect from the Genesis Shaman race. Do you really think they could be the masterminds?”
Even though she wasn’t a true shaman, she had spent a period of time in the Chang clan as their Saintess, which gave her some understanding of the Shaman races. She felt closer to the Shaman races, so she couldn’t help but speak up for them.
Wuhui’s flames flared, but he didn’t dare to reply yes despite his anger. He was the Fire Celestial, but he, too, could land in hot water if he recklessly accused those lofty entities of a crime.
Zu An’s mind churned into action. Could it be the Ancestral Shamans? Lady Houtu, for instance, is suspicious. She is the reason that the Mermaid Queen and I are here. Despite knowing the truth behind the Chang clan, she chose to withhold the truth.
