454: Chapter 447 Divination 454: Chapter 447 Divination With Chen Hai’s current strength in his physical body, even if he performed divination with all his might, a bit of backlash was already not something he took to heart.
However, conducting divination with full force would require cleansing of hands and heart, along with various ritualistic elements, which certainly seemed a bit troublesome.
And now, here in the wilds, it was simply impossible to meet such conditions.
Taking out the few Copper Coins, Chen Hai only intended to casually divine and see for what reason Li Feng was dealing with him!
With hands clasped together, the divination-specific Copper Coins joined in his grasp.
Upon releasing them, the coins had fallen from his hands.
All three Copper Coins with their backs facing up—this was the “Old Yin” Gua.
Subsequently, Chen Hai picked up the coins again and started another round of divination.
On the side, Luo Dayong and Sha Kun, among others, looked at each other in dismay upon seeing this scene, utterly unaware of Chen Hai’s intentions.
Afraid to even breathe, they did not dare to speak, much less move rashly.
How Chen Hai would deal with them, they did not know.
In front of such a terrifying figure as Chen Hai, any slight misstep might lead to being slapped to death by the opponent.
Staying put here honestly, perhaps, they might have a chance at survival.
Temporarily ignoring Luo Dayong and the others, Chen Hai’s thoughts at this moment were focused on the divination.
Soon, after six divinations were completed, the Gua had formed.
This Gua was a changing one, with Qian below and Xun on top, Qian being heaven, and Xun, the wind.
It implied wind smoothing and rain nurturing, crops thriving, hence the name “Lesser Storage,” indicating that power is limited and must wait to develop to a certain extent before achieving greatness.
The Gua of Lesser Storage, the Ninth Gua of the Sixty-four Gua, the least of the least Gua.
“As seedlings meet drought and wither away, clouds thicken with no rain to spray, the farmer looks up and sighs with grief, from high hopes, let there be respite brief…”
Muttering to himself, Chen Hai began to interpret the divination.
As though in a trance, all he saw was a sky filled with golden light, obscuring the heavens and masking the sun and moon.
A magnificent five-clawed golden dragon swam through this sea of gold.
Seemingly sensing Chen Hai’s scrutiny, the dragon glanced distantly across the endless expanse of time and space, glaring at Chen Hai.
In the next instant, his vision darkened, and from that stupor, Chen Hai was involuntarily pulled out.
“The Dragon of Destiny representing the fate of Yanhuang Country…” With a helpless sigh, Chen Hai lamented inwardly.
For a figure like Li Feng to be connected to the nation’s fate was within reason.
It was only now that Chen Hai had shattered his Divine Soul and merged it into his body, cultivating a Semi-Saint Body.
Had this been before, failing to divine anything would have been one thing,
But with the nation’s fate backlash, just that one look could have gravely injured his Divine Soul, requiring many days to recover.
Now, without a Divine Soul, the backlash of the nation’s fate was borne by his physical body.
It was only a slight discomfort, and he had quickly returned to normal.
“Perhaps, only by opening a ritual altar and fully engaging in all manners of rites would I be able to divine something through the Divination Skill!”
Frowning, Chen Hai thought to himself.
On the side, Luo Dayong, Sha Kun, and the others saw Chen Hai’s locked brows, seemingly deeply troubled, and they too began to feel nervous.
“Mr.
Chen, as long as you are willing to spare us, we are ready to agree to any conditions you might propose.”
“Even though you are unrivaled in the world, you are ultimately alone and without support.”
“Here in Myanmar North, if you could have a force at your command…”
Luo Dayong was the first to speak, tentatively saying to Chen Hai.
But before he could finish speaking, he could no longer continue, because his neck had already been casually snapped by Chen Hai.
The place of Myanmar North, shrouded in chaos, Luo Dayong was one of the main culprits.
Leaving him a way out?
That had never crossed Chen Hai’s mind.
He had plans to let Tian Mingjian and his people take over the Kachin Army.
Not killing Luo Dayong would just be creating trouble for himself, wouldn’t it?
“Run…” The remaining members of the group, including Sha Kun, had their expressions change drastically.
Fully aware that their chances of escaping from Chen Hai’s grasp were virtually zero, they preferred to attempt an escape rather than sit and wait for death.
After a loud shout, Sha Kun and the others dispersed and fled in all directions.
However, the next moment, without exception, they all turned into fire people.
Amidst their screams and wails, within only a few breaths, they had turned to ash, completely devoid of life.
Being close to Luo Dayong, these fellows were undoubtedly his trusted lackeys.
With Luo Dayong’s neck already snapped by Chen Hai, naturally, he would not let the likes of Sha Kun go.
Elsewhere, the battlefield previously in chaos and disarray had now somewhat regained order.
It was certainly not something Tian Mingjian and his mercenaries could have managed on their own.
After all, the soldiers of the Kachin Army did not recognize them.
Their combat strength was decent, but they were still on the level of ordinary people and had not reached the non-human level of Chen Hai.
Unable to intimidate the Kachin soldiers, whatever Tian Mingjian and his group wanted to do would likely be ignored by the others.
The soldiers who scattered in escape were now able to restore some order, an outcome clearly the result of Fang Wei, who had previously pledged allegiance to Chen Hai, making a great effort.
With Chen Hai’s eyesight, despite the distance, he could still make out some of the situation over there.
Under the reorganization of Fang Wei and some other officers, the Kachin soldiers had essentially stopped fleeing and started to form orderly ranks.
Of course, to avoid misunderstandings with Tian Mingjian and others, while they formed ranks, their weapons were already laid down and set aside on the open ground.
With Luo Dayong dead and Fang Wei, another high-ranking member of the Kachin Army, showing such cooperation, Chen Hai was quite satisfied upon seeing this and nodded in approval.
In the face of absolute power, any resistance was futile, but he couldn’t just kill all these thousands of Kachin soldiers!
Fang Wei’s actions were in line with his wishes.
As for whether the existence of Fang Wei and others would cause trouble for Tian Mingjian’s control over the Kachin Army,
that wasn’t within Chen Hai’s considerations at all; in his view, monopoly of power could breed ambition.
Competition between Tian Mingjian and his Four Seas Mercenary Corps and Fang Wei and those from the Kachin Army could be mutually restrictive, potentially better.
Kill a group, win over a group, then suppress another group…
Such simple logic, Tian Mingjian surely understood; what he would eventually achieve after being pushed to that position by Chen Hai still depended on his own capabilities.
Now, it seemed that the battle no longer required Chen Hai’s intervention.
The copper coins used for divination flipped over in his hand and were then put away again.
He was not rushing at full speed but was walking at an unhurried pace towards the direction where the Kachin Army gathered.
A distance of about a kilometer, at his full speed, he could cover in a few breaths’ time,
but at his current pace, it would likely take him about ten minutes to arrive.
By doing this, he was giving Fang Wei and Tian Mingjian’s group a chance to demonstrate their abilities.
“By the way, since Li Feng struck at me, what could be happening with Qingqing now?”
“Could it be that, failing to deal with me, he took out his frustrations on Qingqing?”
“Although Qingqing is from the Ye Family with an immensely deep background, she is also Li Feng’s wife.”
“When it comes to family matters, the Ye Family might be reluctant to interfere too much…”
Suddenly, this thought sprung into Chen Hai’s mind.
Originally respecting Ye Qingqing’s choices and not planning to get involved with her again, the possibility of Qingqing being abused by Li Feng unsettled him, and his heart started to grow chaotic.
The copper coins he had just put into his pocket were taken out once more.
After hesitating for a while, he finally gritted his teeth, picked up a few copper coins, and started to perform divination again.
This time, his divination concerned the current situation of Ye Qingqing…
After completing the Six Gua, the gua pattern quickly formed.
The gua was Heavenly Thunder, the gua of Unexpected.
Perhaps because Ye Qingqing, ostensibly the wife of the vice president, also held a very extraordinary status.
When Chen Hai started to interpret the gua, he too saw skies filled with golden light, except it was just the light, without the dragon of destiny.
“Open up…”
Under the cover of golden light, everything appeared hazy.
With a soft roar, Chen Hai’s gaze was sharp like a blade, as if tangible, forcibly cleaving a crack in the thick golden light.
Through that gap, it seemed he saw ancient temples and a nun, unhurriedly tapping a wooden fish.
“Impossible, didn’t Qingqing say that Li Feng treated her well and that she was living happily?”
“After meeting me in Liuyuan County, she returned to the Capital City and directly shaved her head to become a nun, which doesn’t make any sense at all?”
“Could it be that she lied to me?
Could it be that she said those things just to make me give up?”
“But why would she do that?”
With an ugly expression, Chen Hai exited that trance-like state.
The more he pondered, the more perplexed he became.
Picking up the copper coins, he began divination once more.
Unfortunately, whether related to himself or the fate of the country, many things, even with Chen Hai’s Divination Skill, couldn’t be divined.
“No matter why, Li Feng is definitely involved!”
“And considering his connection with Luo Dayong and wanting me eliminated in Myanmar North, I cannot let this matter slide!”
Chen Hai said through gritted teeth, filled with hatred.
But he knew that Li Feng, being of such high standing, must not be rashly provoked, or great terror would ensue.
To truly deal with him, he must think long-term.
No matter how much he resented Li Feng internally, planning against him had to be set aside for now.
For now, he only wanted to return to the Capital City, find Ye Qingqing, and get clear on the matter why she became a nun!
