Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 376: Gu Ming’s Backup Plan—The Minor Teleportation Talisman

Chapter 376: Gu Ming's Backup Plan—The Minor Teleportation Talisman

After reviewing his life panel, Shen Mo fell into deep thought.

Destiny had already changed.

Not only could he survive, but he could also defeat Gu Ming.

However, while he could defeat him, he couldn't kill him.

Gu Ming had a backup plan. Realizing he was no match, he didn't even bother with threats. Instead, he immediately used a Minor Teleportation Talisman to flee tens of thousands of miles away.

"The Minor Teleportation Talisman is indeed a good thing."

"I once obtained one myself."

Shen Mo retrieved a palm-sized talisman from his storage ring.

This talisman was made by writing with cinnabar on talisman paper.

Though it might seem simple, crafting it was extremely difficult.

The cinnabar used was not ordinary cinnabar but a rare type known as Spirit-Infused Cinnabar.

This cinnabar had absorbed vast amounts of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, allowing it to channel the spiritual power of a cultivator.

The talisman paper was also no ordinary paper.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

It had to be made by soaking demon beast hide in a special medicinal solution to soften it, then processed into paper.

The grade and quality of the demon beast hide would determine whether the talisman paper could withstand more powerful patterns.

"The art of crafting talismans has long been lost. All that remains today comes from ancient times without exception."

Shen Mo stared at the talisman with its intricate patterns, furrowing his brow.

This also meant that methods to counter talismans were equally hard to find.

"However, if I live long enough, I might just figure out how to counter them."

Shen Mo's eyes lit up.

He immediately thought of the Four Seas Dragon Kings.

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas had extremely long lifespans.

The oldest among them was the North Sea King, who had once assisted the Human Emperor in conquering the eight wilds.

Second to the North Sea King was the South Sea King.

The South Sea King had assumed his position after the Human Emperor unified the world and established the Great Jing Dynasty.

As for the East Sea King and West Sea King, both had been replaced once, and their ages were not particularly old, barely over a thousand years.

"The South Sea Dragon Palace has suffered heavy losses, and the South Sea King's whereabouts are unknown. Finding him will be difficult."

"I can only have people gather information about him."

Thinking this, Shen Mo quickly returned to the camp.

His reputation was now extremely high.

With just a single order, many people were willing to help him track the South Sea King's whereabouts.

Tong Yuan, Ouyang Lang, Zhou Mingyi, and others didn't even ask for reasons before agreeing.

They didn't hesitate at all.

Just as Shen Mo was about to leave to practice his martial skills, he noticed Wang Lang, a cultivator from the Mad Blade Alliance, pacing back and forth with a worried expression.

Not far away, Tong Yuan and Ouyang Lang were whispering to each other.

"...Recently, water demons from the West Sea and East Sea have been frequently coming ashore to attack cities. The cultivators along the coast have been forced to defend day and night, suffering greatly."

"I heard the West Sea water demons have also intensified their attacks on Mo Province. Look at Wang Lang—he's so anxious he's scratching his head, wishing he could go back and help."

Shen Mo's expression remained unchanged.

For now, these were just small-scale raids.

But soon, a full-scale invasion would come, pressing deep into the heartlands of the Mad Blade Alliance and the Sea God Island.

This was one of Gu Ming's tactics.

Shen Mo said nothing.

Some things he couldn't change, nor did he need to.

If he changed them, the predetermined fate would shift, leading to a future he couldn't predict.

The unknown was the most terrifying.

...

"Big Brother Shen, the person you asked me to find, ah—woo woo..."

Shi Jingtian's loud voice echoed outside the tent.

However, before he could finish, someone else covered his mouth.

Shen Mo smiled wryly. "Come in."

Two figures, one tall and one short, quickly entered.

They were Du Cangqing and Shi Jingtian.

Shi Jingtian glared at Du Cangqing, clearly displeased that the latter had covered his mouth.

Du Cangqing expressionlessly wiped his hand on Shi Jingtian's clothes. "Your saliva is disgusting."

Shen Mo couldn't help but laugh at the two clowns. "Did you find him?"

"Yes, the South Sea King has arrived. He's hiding in the dense forest outside and hasn't revealed his whereabouts," Du Cangqing nodded.

"Good, thank you both." Shen Mo clasped his hands in gratitude.

Shi Jingtian grinned, "No need to thank me, no need! Big Brother Shen taught me a lot during our sparring sessions. This is the least I could do!"

Du Cangqing said expressionlessly, "It wasn't your Sea God Island that found him. It was my Qian Yuan Sect. What are you being so modest for?"

Shi Jingtian retorted angrily, "It's practically the same! Why bother splitting hairs?"

Du Cangqing replied coldly, "Last time you stole food from the Tianhe Sect and immediately blamed it on me, saying Sea God Island is Sea God Island, and Qian Yuan Sect is Qian Yuan Sect."

"Back then, you were very meticulous about drawing the line!"

Shi Jingtian snorted, "You're no better. Last time you took me to peek at the female cultivators of the Great Snow Palace bathing..."

Du Cangqing immediately covered his mouth.

The two of them instantly started wrestling.

Shen Mo clicked his tongue and let them brawl, turning to leave.

These two had been rivals for a long time.

They argued every three days and fought every five.

Everyone was used to it.

With a flash, Shen Mo appeared in the dense forest outside the camp.

After a moment's thought, he slightly activated the blood energy within his body.

Sure enough, he soon sensed three powerful blood energies hidden deep in the forest.

Shen Mo used his movement technique and arrived in the depths of the forest in an instant.

There stood three figures.

An old man, a young man, and a woman.

The old man was tall and robust, with a kind face full of wrinkles.

However, he occasionally showed signs of pain, clearly still bearing injuries.

The young man was tall and sturdy, with cold and aloof features, his face filled with vigilance as if danger lurked everywhere.

The woman had a graceful figure, curvaceous and elegant, like a lotus emerging from water.

Though her face was beautiful, there was a hint of heroism in her brows.

Clearly, she was no delicate lady.

However, all three had dragon horns on their heads, revealing their identities.

Shen Mo's sudden appearance put the three on high alert.

Especially the young man, who nearly unleashed a martial technique on reflex.

"Xiao Yi, mind your manners," the old man scolded.

The young man relaxed his blood energy but still watched Shen Mo warily.

Shen Mo wasn't offended.

After all, these three had been on the run for a long time.

It was only natural for their nerves to be on edge.

The old man smiled, "Young friend, you truly are a dragon among men, with extraordinary strength. None of us noticed your approach."

Shen Mo clasped his hands, "You flatter me, South Sea King."

"Let me introduce you," the old man said, pointing to the young man behind him. "Ao Yi, the second prince."

He then pointed to the woman, "Ao Jia, the eldest princess."

Ao Yi looked somewhat proud.

After all, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were usually respected wherever they went.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators would respectfully address them as princes and princesses.

Ao Jia, however, said calmly, "What princes and princesses? That's all in the past. Now we're just exiled dragons from the South Sea."

Shen Mo looked at Ao Jia with some surprise.

This dragoness clearly understood the current situation better than her brother.

And she was more accepting of their current status.

"How is Third Brother?" Ao Jia asked.

"He's doing well, and his strength has improved significantly," Shen Mo nodded.

After some small talk, the South Sea King spoke solemnly, "Young friend, we hope to take refuge here for a while. In light of the Great Transformation Dragon Art, we ask for your assistance."
