I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 313: Urgency

To tell the truth, Zhang Yuan, who had lived two lifetimes, couldn’t see through the celestial maiden sitting across from him.

Although she seemed innocent and pure, just like a sheltered noblewoman unaware of worldly affairs.

But if Zhang Yuan really thought so, then he would be the naive and innocent one!

As for her words, he took in ten parts but only believed three parts.

"I see."

Zhang Yuan nodded, saying calmly, "How about this, I’ll help you post this bounty in the Divine Hall, and strive to bring this, um, stowaway to justice as soon as possible!"

"Great."

Dongfang Mingyue clapped her small hands, showing a coy expression: "Thank you, Your Excellency Divine General."

"No need to be so polite."

Zhang Yuan smiled: "To be honest, even I’m a bit tempted by this bounty, but lacking the strength, this is all I can do for Miss Dongfang."

In and around the Ruins City, there are hundreds of thousands, maybe even a million people.

It’s incredibly difficult to find a Tier Five expert skilled in disguise, and killing them is even harder!

Moreover, who knows if there’s any hidden plot in this, so he didn’t want to dive into such muddy waters.

Dongfang Mingyue smiled charmingly and poured herself a cup of wine from the jug.

"To you, Your Excellency Divine General!"

After two drinks, delicious dishes were served onto the table by the maids.

The atmosphere in the private room became much more relaxed and lively.

Dongfang Mingyue, a bit tipsy, chatted happily with Zhang Yuan.

She seemed to have no hidden intentions, revealing quite a lot about the Celestial Being matters.

Many were things Zhang Yuan had never heard of before.

However, Dongfang Jin occasionally interrupted, reducing the value of the information he gathered.

Still, Zhang Yuan felt he gained a lot.

At least he had learned more about the Celestial Beings.

Dongfang Mingyue didn’t say from where in Daqian she came from.

But she told Zhang Yuan that there are twelve branches of Celestial Beings in Daqian, and the Dongfang clan is one of them.

Additionally, there are the Nangong, Ouyang, Shangguan, Murong, Huangfu, Sima, and Duanmu...

All are compound surnames!

Dongfang Mingyue didn’t mention which of the twelve branches is the strongest, but she told Zhang Yuan that in half a month, the celestial beings of the Duanmu Clan would arrive at the Xia Ruins.

And the celestial beings of the Duanmu branch are not easy to deal with!

This celestial maiden evidently liked the wine offered by the restaurant, drinking five or six cups by herself without Zhang Yuan urging her, with her intoxication growing from three-tenths to six or seven-tenths.

Zhang Yuan noticed that Dongfang Jin’s gaze towards him was becoming increasingly sharp.

He reckoned if he continued chatting with Dongfang Mingyue, this Tier Five expert would erupt on the spot!

So he said, "Miss Dongfang, it’s an honor to meet you, but let’s call it a night here!"

Dongfang Mingyue, her cheeks flushed red, was a bit dazed: "You’re leaving? Alright then."

"Until we meet again!"

Zhang Yuan stood up, cupped his fists, and left to settle the bill.

Even though Zhang Yuan didn’t quite understand.

Why this celestial maiden, whom he met by chance, was so warm and courteous with him over drinks.

But he didn’t think entangling himself too deeply with her was a good idea!

So he decisively left.

Of course, as he left, Zhang Yuan didn’t forget to take White Wolf’s portrait with him.

Since he agreed, he naturally had to keep the promise.

Anyway, even if he regretted it, with her identity and background, posting the bounty at the Celestial King Hall would be a simple task.

Normally, no one would willingly offend the Celestial Beings.

Including Hui Zhi!

And after Zhang Yuan left, Dongfang Jin frowned and asked, "Miss, what merits does a mere local have for you to regard him so highly?"

Dongfang Mingyue shook the wine jug playfully, answering with a smile, "Old Jin, don’t you find this guy interesting? A Dharma Guardian Divine General!"

Dongfang Jin scoffed, "Only Tier Four, nothing more than some luck."

Dongfang Mingyue sighed softly, sat upright, and said, "I fancy his luck. Maybe this task is meant for him."

"You know, if we don’t capture White Wolf, I’ll have to go back to Qianjing to face that wretched woman’s wrath."

"It’s so annoying!"

Dongfang Jin was at a loss, helplessly saying, "Miss, that’s your mother."

Dongfang Mingyue angrily threw the wine jug: "Is a stepmother still considered a mother?"

Dongfang Jin had no words to reply.

Dongfang Mingyue took a deep breath, clenching her small fists: "Anyway, this time, I won’t let her control me."

"White Wolf must die!"

Just as her voice fell, Zhang Yuan, who had just arrived outside on the street, suddenly looked up.

He glanced at the private room he had just been in.

Feeling an inexplicable sense of urgency within.

Whether it was the sudden appearance of Dongfang Mingyue or the imminent arrival of the Duanmu celestial beings, it all signified that the Xia Ruins would no longer be as peaceful as before, potentially becoming the center of a storm.

Although Zhang Yuan’s current strength was sufficient to rival a Tier Five Martial Artist, he still felt he wasn’t strong enough.

Especially when facing the celestial beings known for being unkillable, this feeling was particularly intense.

Consider Dongfang Jin, who is also Tier Five; his cultivation realm might not surpass Li Wanlong’s.

But the sense of threat he posed to Zhang Yuan far exceeded the latter!

And such a figure was completely subordinate to the Tier Three Dongfang Mingyue, acting vaguely like a subordinate follower.

Was the seemingly innocent Dongfang Mingyue really harmless?

Zhang Yuan certainly didn’t underestimate her!

Early the next morning, he went to the Celestial King Hall and posted Dongfang Mingyue’s commissioned bounty task in the Outer Hall.

If it had been the former Zhang Yuan, he wouldn’t have been eligible to do so.

But the permissions of a Dharma Guardian Divine General were sufficient.

Then Zhang Yuan went to see Hui Zhi, narrating the events of last night to the Chief Mage.

Hui Zhi listened silently, after pondering for a moment, he said, "No worries."

The Chief Mage only said those two words.

Zhang Yuan left with peace of mind.

In the following days, he continued to focus intently on doing Daoist Merit tasks related to the supernatural.

However, Zhang Yuan’s luck wasn’t good; after exterminating and slaying over a dozen supernatural beings, he only managed to hunt down a Tier Two Evil Infant.

The value of the Evil Infant depends on its grade, with First Grade being the lowest and Ninth Grade the highest.

And Hui Feng demanded Fourth or Fifth Grade.

This made Zhang Yuan feel quite troubled.

Because the Evil Infant’s cultivation is reliant on luck, with a very low success rate in concocting one.

Just when Zhang Yuan was about to give up temporarily, a sudden turn of events occurred.

That day, Zhang Yuan returned to the Outer Hall for more Daoist Merit tasks when an Outer Hall Guardian unexpectedly approached him: "Divine General Zhang, I heard you need a Fourth Grade Evil Infant?"

Zhang Yuan nodded calmly: "Yes, Protector Liao, do you have one?"

His quest for a Fourth Grade Evil Infant wasn’t a secret; many in the Outer Hall knew about it.

Zhang Yuan wasn’t familiar with this Outer Hall Guardian.

He only knew his surname was Liao.

"To be honest, I don’t have any Evil Infant,"

Protector Liao grinned, "but I know where to find it!"

Zhang Yuan got interested immediately: "Just tell me, what are the conditions?"
