My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 420 - 242: The Beginning of the Normal University Strange Tales (Part 2)

However, upon hearing her words, Luo Mountain and Mount Tai shot up from their seats as if they were on fire.

"What!?"

"Talismans!?"

The two of them stared wide-eyed at Xia Yue and Ji Xin.

Over the past few days, they had left to solve the issue of half of Jinling being tied to the Extraordinary Domain related to the spirit, and to figure out why another spirit was still present in Jinling.

But the two didn’t expect... the previous problems haven’t been resolved yet.

Just as they returned, they were hit with explosive news... To figure out why there’s a spirit in Jinling, the Celestial Strategy Mansion summoned the Celestial Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain to meet with Chen Lusi.

Afterwards, Chen Lusi reclaimed the Daoist lineage...

Talismans are usable.

Are you kidding me!?

What kind of efficiency is this? The previous matters the two had no clue about, but in just a few days, now talismans pop up?

Luo Mountain asked urgently, "Why!? Why can Chen Lusi’s talismans be used?"

Setting aside Chen Lusi creating the Celestial Punishment Weapon, he could consider it a result of Chen Lusi’s ability to manipulate external spirits.

But why do Daoist talismans also work? Is this related to his ability to manipulate external spirits? That doesn’t make any sense!

"I don’t know."

Ji Xin shook his head directly.

Luo Mountain: "..."

"Daoism..."

On the other side.

Mount Tai’s reaction was evidently quicker.

After all, he had been in charge of the Celestial Strategy Mansion for over ten years, and amidst shock and disbelief, he instantly realized this might not be a good thing. He immediately looked at Ji Xin, saying, "We might need to stop Chen Lusi."

He was clearly thinking the same as Xia Yue did yesterday.

Worrying that Daoism might once again seek self-governance.

"No need."

Ji Xin shook his head and then decisively drew an immobilization talisman, demonstrating it right in front of the two.

"You..."

"Holy crap..."

Mount Tai and Luo Mountain’s eyes widened, seemingly ready to pop out, staring fixedly at Ji Xin.

Ji Xin explained expressionlessly, "Chen Lusi can grant people like me the ability to use talismans, even draw them. I believe other techniques like Prayer Exorcism and Fasting and Sacrificial Ritual are the same, so there’s no need to worry about Daoism.

Those bull-headed masters know better than us the stakes involved; they won’t entertain any thoughts of self-governance unless Xia Yue and I both die and they manage to keep Chen Lusi captive."

Luo Mountain muttered again, "...Why?"

Exactly.

Why on earth is that?

Why can Chen Lusi accomplish this?

"I don’t know."

Knowing what he is asking, Ji Xin shook his head again, "This is something Kunlun needs to figure out, not us."

Luo Mountain: "..."

Mount Tai: "..."

The two felt a bit dizzy and hadn’t quite snapped out of it.

"That’s not the main focus right now."

At this moment, Xia Yue also spoke, not giving the two a moment to breathe, continuing, "Just this morning, Zhang Xiufeng brought back news..."

He repeated what he said to Chen Lusi not long ago, including the leakage of the Celestial Punishment Weapon and the potential situations that might arise.

Simply put... worrying about the unconventional old factions domestically and the Self throwing things in chaos.

"Wait a minute... let me catch my breath."

Mount Tai massaged his brow, then sat back down shakily and silent for a moment: "So what do you want us to do?"

"Temporarily abandon the research to restore half of Jinling and let Chen Lusi leave Jinling; he wants to visit the Imperial Capital to meet a prisoner from the Chamomile Alliance."

Xia Yue stated directly, "Both Ji Xin and I don’t think it’s necessary to delay because it seems you won’t find a way to restore half of Jinling anytime soon. Better let Chen Lusi leave.

Also, we should come up with a way to deter those old entities; the Celestial Punishment Weapon can’t be kept secret for long, there’s a chance they’ll act desperately. Moreover, Chen Lusi can now make all Celestial Strategy Mansion members become Daoists.

I can deal with a few to set an example, but if those older, more persistent ones are determined to hold me back and insist on addressing this ’problem’ with Chen Lusi, it would be rather troublesome."

Mount Tai was a bit stunned and reflexively said, "The matters in Jinling aren’t resolved, how can we let Chen Lusi leave?"

"Within a short period, can you find a solution?"

Ji Xin interrupted, "If not, then there’s no reason to keep Chen Lusi here forever."

"But isn’t it safer for Chen Lusi to stay in one place under these circumstances?"

On the other side.

The head of Kunlun, Luo Mountain, frowned, "Why let him wander for safety?"

Ji Xin hesitated for a moment before explaining Chen Lusi’s purpose of meeting Anna.

Upon hearing that Chen Lusi intended to seal his technique into a talisman.

"..."

Mount Tai and Luo Mountain once again looked bewildered.

Is it Zhang Xiufeng as the Celestial Master or Chen Lusi as the Celestial Master?

"Of course, that’s just one reason."

Ji Xin thought for a moment, continuing coldly, "On the other hand, we can’t really keep Chen Lusi captive; do you really see him as a tool? If he is confined in Jinling, what if he drops out? Who will answer to the Security Army and Daoism?"

"..."

Hearing this, Mount Tai and Luo Mountain fell silent.

Evidently, they also knew that this wouldn’t work.

After a long time.

"Can we persuade him to temporarily hand over the white cat to Kunlun’s custody?"

Mount Tai asked with some hesitation, "Half of Jinling is really too important, until it’s regained, I can’t rest easy. Besides... Ji Xin, because of the Jinling situation, you’ve become a thorn in ’Mother’s’ side. Until Jinling is restored, you’ll remain in ’Mother’s’ sights in Yellow Springs as a Demon Slayer leader.
