Quinn Ye and Finn Guo were both startled.
The old blind man covered his mouth and nose, but blood continued to flow incessantly, his face also full of agony.
"This word... this word..."
A low, hoarse roar came from the old blind man's mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
Unfortunately, the Master and disciple were both frightened and fundamentally didn't know what the old blind man wanted to say.
It was the old blind man himself who suddenly grabbed that piece of paper and abruptly tore it to shreds.
Pfft!!!
The old blind man sprayed out a mouthful of fresh blood, his whole person instantly sitting on the ground.
But because of this, the agonizing look on his face instantly disappeared.
The Master and disciple were both dumbfounded.
The people in the market were also attracted by the commotion here.
"What's going on here?"
"Why is this fortune teller bleeding so much?"
"He's probably inaccurate with his fortune-telling and got beaten up by someone, right?"
"Very possible. I've truly never seen this old blind man around here before."
...
The crowd all around discussed fervently.
Quinn Ye and Finn Guo were both somewhat worried, deeply afraid that the two of them had gotten into some sort of trouble.
Right at this moment.
The old blind man suddenly stood up.
He wiped the bloodstains off his face, seeming to be perfectly fine.
"Old gentleman, are you alright?"
Quinn Ye asked cautiously.
"Cough cough, I'm fine, I'm fine,"
The old blind man said quickly.
It was just that for some unknown reason, his voice seemed to be trembling.
As if he was terrified of something.
The old blind man hastily packed up his stall in a disorganized mess, and then ran off without looking back.
Quinn Ye and Finn Guo had two faces full of bewilderment.
What's the situation?
Why did this fortune-telling guy suddenly run away?
"Master, what's wrong with him?"
"Probably his old illness flared up, and he's rushing back to take his medicine."
"Oh, it seems that really is it."
"Let's go, time to head back."
...
Clang!
A crude courtyard door was violently slammed shut.
The old blind man, who had hurried back from the market, leaned against the back of the door, breathing heavily, his face completely pale.
"Senior Brother, why are you back so early today?"
A middle-aged man wearing coarse linen clothes walked out from inside the house.
This man had an unremarkable appearance, looking to be in his forties, with a sallow face and a thin body, looking exactly like a peasant farmer.
The only thing somewhat special about this man was his left arm, which was severed at the shoulder, leaving only an empty sleeve.
"Junior Brother, quickly pack your things and leave!"
The old blind man said, full of panic.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression also changed.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother?"
The old blind man groaned incessantly.
"I have been tainted by an incredibly massive Karma!"
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man's expression changed drastically.
"Senior Brother, with your cultivation, even the Karma of a nation's rise and fall can be resolved. What else could make you lose your composure like this?"
The old blind man waved his hand repeatedly.
"The Karma of a nation's rise and fall? Compared to the massive Karma I just encountered, it's simply not worth mentioning!"
The middle-aged man also grew anxious.
"Senior Brother, hurry up and tell me."
The old blind man said with a solemn tone: "Do you still remember the divination our Master performed for the Southern Wilderness before he passed away?"
The middle-aged man nodded.
"Of course I remember. Back then, Master caught a glimpse of a sliver of Heaven's Secrets and had a premonition that the Southern Wilderness would face a massive catastrophe. For the life and death of the common people of the Southern Wilderness, he forcefully performed a divination seeking survival."
"But because the Karma tainted by this divination was too intense, Master also suffered the backlash of the power of Karma and passed away soon after."
A look of reminiscence appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes.
"I remember Master saying that divination had already found the savior for the Southern Wilderness, and this person would also become the co-lord of the human race in the Southern Wilderness."
"The Human Emperor of the Southern Wilderness!"
The old blind man had a complex expression: "Correct, the Human Emperor of the Southern Wilderness will be the key person to save the Southern Wilderness."
"Just now, I met a person in the market, and this person actually has the bone structure of the Human Emperor!"
"What? The Human Emperor?"
The middle-aged man paled in shock.
The Human Emperor of the Southern Wilderness; they had been searching for over thirty years.
Performing divination multiple times, circulating secret arts multiple times, and finally, they found a sliver of a clue.
The Heavenly Martial Empire!
The Human Emperor who would save the Southern Wilderness in the future would very likely be born in the Heavenly Martial Empire.
So they traveled thousands of miles and arrived at the Heavenly Martial Empire.
However, after arriving at the Heavenly Martial Empire, they lost their direction again.
A vast sea of humanity.
Which one was the future Human Emperor?
And so.
The Master and disciple mingled in the mortal world, silently searching for the Human Emperor.
Originally, they felt that the current Emperor of the Heavenly Martial Empire, Dominic Su, seemed to have the feel of a Human Emperor.
It was just that they had never been able to get close to Dominic Su.
"Senior Brother, are you sure you didn't misread it?"
After the middle-aged man's shock, he asked with some suspicion.
The old blind man slapped his thigh directly: "Although I am blind, you know my attainments in bone-feeling. The bone structure of the Human Emperor is so special, could I possibly feel it wrong?"
That was true.
The middle-aged man was very clear about his Senior Brother's abilities.
Leaving other things aside, his bone-feeling technique was considered the most outstanding in their sect.
No matter what kind of bone structure it was, as long as it passed through the old blind man's hands, he could immediately determine it.
"Senior Brother, finding the Human Emperor is a good thing! Why are you in such a panic?"
The middle-aged man asked in confusion.
"If it were just finding the future Human Emperor, I naturally wouldn't be like this, but... but..."
Speaking up to here, the old blind man actually didn't even know how to put it into words for a moment.
"What exactly is going on?"
The middle-aged man also grew anxious.
"Sigh!" The old blind man stomped his foot.
"That future Human Emperor has currently acknowledged someone else as his Master, and the Human Emperor's Master carries the Karma of a Saint on him."
"I originally wanted to see what kind of divine being this person was, but as a result, I suffered the resistance of the Saint's Karma."
"If I hadn't timely severed my contact with this person, I'm afraid I would have lost my very life!"
Speaking up to here, the old blind man felt sweetness in his throat again, and another mouthful of fresh blood surged out.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man was also badly frightened and quickly came up to support him.
"Senior Brother, is it truly the Karma of a Saint?"
"I can't be mistaken, let's go quickly!"
"Alright!"
The two Senior and Junior Brothers didn't hesitate. They quickly packed their things and, without staying a moment longer, immediately left this place.
Taking advantage of the night, they traveled all the way west.
Just happening to pass by the foot of Cloud-Drifting Mountain.
"Hm? Why are there so many temples here?"
The middle-aged man said somewhat in surprise.
"It's said that there is a Holy Son of Buddhism on Cloud-Drifting Mountain, so it's not strange for there to be some Buddhist temples here,"
The old blind man said.
The middle-aged man was suddenly startled.
"Senior Brother, do you still remember that when I entered the sect, Master performed a divination for me?"
The old blind man nodded: "Of course I remember. Master said that in your destiny, apart from the Five Evils and Three Deficiencies that you must inevitably experience, you will also face a wicked tribulation. Only under the Buddhist Light of Cloud Mountain can you safely survive it."
Speaking up to here, the old blind man was startled.
The Buddhist Light of Cloud Mountain?
Could it mean...
The middle-aged man revealed a look of excitement.
"Senior Brother, I have searched over ten mountains named 'Cloud Mountain', but none of them ever had Buddhist Light."
"Now, with so many temples at the foot of this Cloud-Drifting Mountain, is this not the Will of Heaven?"
