These evil entities have an ultimate target of myself, so why, possessing such immense power, don’t they just deal with me directly?
Even if, as Eastern Emperor Taiyi said, their aim isn’t just to kill me but also to strip away the backbone of the Hua Clan, it doesn’t completely explain it.
After all, if these evil entities feared the Hua Clan so much, couldn’t they just modify the timeline to annihilate the Hua Clan?
Ah yes!
Back then, Eastern Emperor Taiyi accidentally revealed an important piece of information: they dare not directly target the Hua Clan or myself, because some hidden presence is watching them.
And what is this presence?
If it leans towards the Hua Clan and myself, why doesn’t it prevent the repeated actions of these evil entities?
It’s as if it’s a referee on the field, only prohibiting certain out-of-line behaviors, but unable to step into the game itself.
Xue An vaguely felt as if he had touched upon the core of some issues.
But if he wanted to verify them, there was still a long road ahead.
The second question is quite simple: why did the backstage manipulator target the Zhailao Daoist specifically?
To know that many people have connections with me, Zhailao Daoist is important, but not the key figure.
Yet the backstage manipulator targeted Zhailao Daoist first, which indicates that his time node is closely related to the current timeline.
For a moment, Xue An’s mind was overflowing with thoughts, with countless ideas flashing through his mind.
Zhailao Daoist didn’t urge him; he just waited quietly at the side because he knew Xue An would certainly say something.
Indeed.
After pondering for a long time, Xue An looked at Zhailao Daoist and sighed softly, "With such significant changes in this world’s timeline, are you still being a Daoist?"
"What else could I do? I don’t have any other skills. Although many things have indeed changed, at least the deities of the Hua Clan are still here. I must let this Daoist lineage continue, right?"
"So you have transformed this ten-thousand-acre pear orchard into your successor?" Xue An asked.
"You could see that?"
Xue An nodded, "It’s impossible for just these pear trees to nurture so many spirits, especially the leader of these flower spirits, which clearly carries a Daoist charm."
Zhailao Daoist chuckled, "I had no choice. Although this mountain is tranquil, it’s also extremely lonely. Generally, young people can’t bear to stay here, not to mention those aspiring to be powerful go to Hongyu Shanzhuang to seek mentorship, so who’d want to practice cultivation with an old crank like me?"
"Helplessly, I had to use the sect’s secret method to slowly transform these pear flowers, cultivate their intelligence, and hope to pass on my limited abilities to them!"
At this point, Zhailao Daoist suddenly remembered something, "You just mentioned that when you returned from the Sky Beyond the Skies, you brought back Guankou Erlang and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, these two Hua Clan deities. Are they around?"
"They aren’t with me now because they have their own matters to handle, but they should be back soon!"
Zhailao Daoist nodded, "I really want to see these surviving ancient gods soon!"
"No need to rush; you will see them soon!"
Zhailao Daoist gave a wry smile, "But do you think, seeing my current state, I can wait until then?"
Xue An didn’t directly answer his question but instead raised an eyebrow, "Who was it that injured you before?"
"Speaking of which, you should know, it’s people from the Wangui Sec!"
"Wangui Sec?"
