1313 Bargaining Chip.

Once the chattering subsided, the host of the conference opened his mouth. “Let’s invite the three candidates to explain their future plans for the 23rd division.”

Lan Luofeng took a deep breath and stood up. She walked up the stage slowly.

This was the first time Lan Luofeng went up on stage as the main speaker. She wasn’t following Ling Xiao up as she did in the past. However, her footsteps were firm just like in the past. She didn’t seem nervous at all.

He Xuyang finally felt at ease when he saw Lan Luofeng’s confident posture.

No one noticed that when Lan Luofeng got up, Ren Feiyu (Ling Xiao), who was wearing an indifferent expression all these while, suddenly straightened his body and glanced quickly at Lan Luofeng.

Lan Luofeng was Ling Xiao’s widow so Qiao Zhenyu and Yang Tie naturally took a step back to let Lan Luofeng speak first.

Lan Luofeng politely rejected their offer but the other two people remained firm. Thus, she nodded and went up to the center of the stage.

Lan Luofeng stood on the stage and looked at the huge number of people below her. She felt that her heart was going to jump out of her throat. She had already mentally prepared herself beforehand but when she actually faced the situation, she was still nervous.

She wouldn’t be worried if it was only for herself since she didn’t mind losing. However, she was fighting for Ling Lan. Hence, she was afraid that her mistake would affect Ling Lan’s succession of the 23rd division.

For a moment, Lan Luofeng didn’t know what to say. She remained silent.

Ling Xiao clasped his hands together tightly. This was the first time Lan Luofeng left his protection and faced the public to speak. He knew that Lan Luofeng had a strong personality. At first, he started liking Lan Luofeng because of her voice. However, as he got to know her better and understood her personality more, he fell in love with her. From then onwards, he couldn’t leave her anymore.

That year, he left his wife a little more than a month after she got pregnant. Although he had to leave because it was a command from the military, he knew Lan Luofeng would be able to pull through it with her personality. She would find a suitable way to survive without him.

Because of trust, he left her and went to the battlefield. Because of trust, he kept his vows to her for 16 years. Because of trust, he fought desperately to find a way home. Because of trust, he chose to hide his ident.i.ty and protect her secretly.

Ling Xiao released his right hand slowly and his gaze turned indifferent again. He believed his Luofeng. She would definitely pa.s.s this test with flying colors.

Lan Luofeng started speaking. Her voice was clear and stable. She wasn’t nervous even though there were so many people present.

“First, I would like to thank all the members of the 23rd division for their love for Ling Xiao. They were willing to give all their trust to his judgement that Ling Lan would be the best candidate for the position as the general of the 23rd division. They applied internally to allow Ling Lan to have this precious opportunity to become a candidate for the general’s position.”

“The war with Twilight caused me to lose Ling Xiao. At the same time, I also lost contact with Ling Lan. Hence, when he was pushed into this position, I was initially opposed to the idea. The 23rd division was built by Ling Xiao and he had gained the respect and trust of all his soldiers. It couldn’t be denied that many people labeled the 23rd division as Ling Xiao’s division. However, I would like to say that the 23rd division is the same as the other 22 divisions of the Federation. There’s nothing special or unique about it. It doesn’t belong to Ling Xiao. I, Lan Luofeng, don’t mind who becomes the general of the 23rd division. I’m sure that if Ling Xiao was still alive, he would feel the same way.”

Lan Luofeng’s speech was magnanimous. The representatives below started applauding loudly. At first, they just respected her because she was Ling Xiao’s wife. Now, they realised that she was a reasonable and selfless person. Their impression of her got better and they admired her even more.

The First Marshal frowned slightly when he heard Lan Luofeng’s speech. Lan Luofeng’s words had put him at a disadvantage. If the representatives below felt that Ling Lan and Lan Luofeng didn’t want the position of 23rd division’s general, the faction of the Second Marshal and the Third Marshal would benefit. After hearing Lan Luofeng’s speech, the Second Marshal and Third Marshal’s expressions got gentler.

The representatives from the 23rd division all had stunned expressions. This speech was entirely different from the materials they had prepared. They didn’t know what to do.

He Xuyang tapped his thighs silently. He decided to watch quietly. He believed that the lady his general loved wasn’t a stupid person. Major General Lan must have something up her sleeve.

Only Ling Xiao closed his eyes after listening to Lan Luofeng. He looked as though he didn’t care about this matter anymore but if you look closely, you would realise that there was a tiny smile on his face. He completely understood what Lan Luofeng was doing.

“However, the representatives from the 23rd division convinced me. They respected Ling Xiao. If the 23rd division was taken over by someone else right after Ling Xiao pa.s.sed away, they won’t be able to accept it. They actually feel strongly against it too. They recommended Ling Lan because he’s Ling Xiao’s son. They hoped that he could inherit Ling Xiao’s unfulfilled wish and lead the 23rd division to glory. Since Ling Lan is missing, they requested me to be his representative to solve the problem.” Lan Luofeng’s eyes were filled with tears as she continued speaking. Her voice was full of emotions. “I can’t reject their earnest request. I have my own selfish thoughts too. I want to see the 23rd division, which Ling Xiao regarded as his pride, becoming the 23rd division wished it will become.”

He Xuyang clenched his fist tightly. Without a doubt, Lan Luofeng was starting to give more bargaining chips to Ling Lan. She pointed out the att.i.tude of the soldiers in the 23rd division so that the representatives below knew how much they would reject the arrival of a new general. If they didn’t do it right, the new general might be just a mindless puppet. The only way the military could change the general to whoever they wanted was to sweep away all the main officers of the 23rd division.

But, this would shake the hearts of all the soldiers in the 23rd division. If the anger of the soldiers was ignited, it might affect the other divisions too. Thus, unless there was no other way, the military wouldn’t touch the 23rd division so soon after Ling Xiao’s death.

But, Lan Luofeng’s actions pushed the higher authorities of the 23rd division out. These people would be blacklisted by the military and their path in the future would be heavily affected. They might have a hard time rising in rank.

Many representatives from the 23rd division had an unhappy look on their faces.

‘Since they wanted to use Young Master Lan and mistress, they must be prepared to pay the price.’ He Xuyang smiled lightly. Not everyone wanted to protect the 23rd division sincerely like him. Some people respected Ling Xiao but as the saying goes, the tea cools down when the person is gone. Without a powerful person suppressing the majority of the people, some of them would turn greedy. However, everyone had the same thing. In that case, he would make use of them too. Once everything had settled down, he would slowly count the debt.

Chapter 933: Stealing from Lear

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Atla.s.studios

But the bit of scuffle was nothing new to Elite Academy X. After the bother had been chased away, they could enjoy themselves. Elite Academy X was different from other colleges because such low-level braggarts were non-existent.

Ai Xiaolu and Luo Er were feeling playful, which was why they had shown their cards. But Er Yu and the rest were indeed shocked. They were exceptionally delighted at Zhang Shan’s mysterious guests. Clearly, everyone was willing to be friends with the Ms. Perfects.

On the way back to school, Ai Xiaolu and Luo Er walked together, speaking one on one. Ai Xiaolu wanted to have a feel for Luo Er’s att.i.tude. w.a.n.g Zheng had told her before that he was asking Luo Er for help as well. After all, the Chairman’s daughter would have unmatched intelligence on the situation. At the very least, she could learn of the Milky Way Alliance’s view on the matter.

And Ai Xiaolu knew that Luo Er thought well of w.a.n.g Zheng. This good feeling would help matters along quite a bit.

“You know about w.a.n.g Zheng’s problem as well?” Luo Er asked. She obviously knew that Ai Xiaolu was managing Saruman Snake Battle Team. Many people had seen Saruman Snake’s successful transformation as in no small part due to Ai Xiaolu’s efforts. This had made many Hail Cloud Alliance students unhappy. After all, Icefire Battle Team’s results were not as good.

“w.a.n.g Zheng and I are good friends. Many of his friends are on t.i.ta Star and, actually, his wealth is all invested on t.i.ta Star.” Ai Xiaolu twinkled.

Luo Er laughed lightly, starting up the shuttle. She could not drive too fast – this was no mech – but she did enjoy the feeling of being free in the air.

“Are you going to help him?” Luo Er suddenly asked, smiling.

Ai Xiaolu was taken aback. Looking at this pet.i.te Gemini Star girl, she suddenly realized that she had committed a grave error. As the Chairman’s daughter, and also a specialist in social systems, her IQ and EQ must both be out of this world.

“I am.” Ai Xiaolu had no need to deceive her. Besides, the Council’s stance was important in such an endeavor.

Luo Er smiled slightly. “I can see that you’re concerned for w.a.n.g Zheng. Given the rules of the Ai family, what you’re doing may be overboard.”

“Keke, for me to do this, it must pa.s.s the family. From a business perspective, I’ve invested in w.a.n.g Zheng as a person. I favor him.”

“Oh, is that right? There are tons of talent in Elite Academy X, and you’ve invested in the most risky one,” Luo Er said.

Ai Xiaolu was suddenly calm. This was the real Luo Er. People were often taken in by the appearances of Gemini Star people, but these appearances meant nothing to Gemini Star people. She looked like a loli, but in truth, Luo Er was very mature.

“High risk, high reward. And? What’s your reason for helping w.a.n.g Zheng? Don’t tell me that you like him,” Ai Xiaolu said.

Luo Er flashed a brilliant smile. “Don’t be so stodgy. w.a.n.g Zheng is not exactly my cup of tea. But he has a very alluring quality. Go ahead and guess. If you’re right, I don’t mind giving you a boost on this.”

Ai Xiaolu knew that Luo Er was testing her. What was Luo Er referring to?

If Ai Financial Group was the stereotypical corporate family, then Luo Er was the stereotypical political family. And she had made it to the pinnacle of the Milky Way.

What did political families value?

Bravery? Strength? Potential?

None of these were of primary importance. Suddenly, Ai Xiaolu smiled, and opened her mouth. Luo Er smiled in response, nodding.

“Even so, I think it’s still insufficient,” Ai Xiaolu said.

“You’ve answered correctly. That’s why I chose to say nothing. This matter coincides with the Council’s interests. Besides, I might take a hand as well. Take it as my branching out from politics.” Luo Er laughed.

If w.a.n.g Zheng was here, he would definitely be rendered speechless. The angle from which they saw the problem was completely different, as a result of their upbringing. In the stable era of the vast interstellar, the rulers of humanity had always been the descendants of the family. Excellent genes, excellent education, excellent resources dedicated for nurturing. This had built a dominating tier which new blood struggled to break out of. Many were a.s.similated.

“There is indeed some difficulty to this. If it succeeds, this should be a real feather in your cap.”

“That’s why, Cla.s.smate Xiaolu, we both acknowledge the need for cooperation. Let’s help w.a.n.g Zheng get ahead,” Luo Er said.

Both girls gave a knowing smile. Although they got along well with their peers, their upbringing was very different. They were not destined for a simple life. But they concealed it well, until they met one of their like.

Ai Xiaolu had first discovered w.a.n.g Zheng as a target. Although Luo Er had originally taken note of him, she had not held any special interest. Until the Gemini Star trip, when Butcher’s att.i.tude and w.a.n.g Zheng’s performance had shown her that he was more than the rumors. He was more impressive than expected.

As for liking him, it was true that she held affection for him. Anything deeper than that would require more careful consideration.

With Luo Er’s help, Ai Xiaolu suddenly felt the pressure alleviated. But still, this matter would be one of the hardest things that Ai Xiaolu would take on to date.

More tangibly, how this matter would turn out, and the difficulty, would still depend on the main player, the bigger country in the shadows.

And as for who it was, and where the final bottom line was, these had to be found out. It was extremely dangerous for Ai Financial Group to intervene in this. This risk could very well set the family back, and the lifeline of Luo Er was a helpful push.

Ai Xiaolu kneaded her forehead. That punk w.a.n.g Zheng had indeed set her a tough nut to crack.

But only such difficult tasks could arouse her interest.

w.a.n.g Zheng had maintained communications with t.i.ta Star as well. Things had been relatively peaceful recently, and no arms were used. Many of the business groups also could not ignore their previous investments, and a semblance of peace had been restored. But they dared not to let their guard down. Mu Sen and Lan Ling hoped for w.a.n.g Zheng to return.

To return… w.a.n.g Zheng deemed it necessary as well. At this time, he should be facing it all together with Rara Durai, even if it was war. As for external matters, he could only depend on Ai Xiaolu.

The second round of the Greatest King battle was about to start. Rumors flew that the big Battle Teams had supplemented their lineups, with some making radical changes. Saruman Snake Battle Team was facing trouble. Once Snow Li left, they would be in a tough spot. But compared to the Battle Team matters, the t.i.ta people’s situation was more pressing.

Before leaving, w.a.n.g Zheng felt that he should give Lear a present.

w.a.n.g Zheng arrived at the place that he and Lie Xin had arranged to meet. Lie Xin was lounging around drinking coffee, giving w.a.n.g Zheng a burning look that he wasn’t sure was a smile.

“What’s up?” Lie Xin was as straightforward as usual. Her beautiful, long legs were splayed all over, and w.a.n.g Zheng was not sure where to look.

“I want you to join Saruman Snake Battle Team!” w.a.n.g Zheng did not beat around the bush either.

Lie Xin laughed. “Why?”

“I need to go to t.i.ta Star. You know the situation as well. In my absence, Achilles alone won’t do. We need you,” w.a.n.g Zheng said frankly.

“And why should I agree?”

Chapter 411: Team Leader’s Heavenly Battle!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The Solar System against the Darkness Empire. It was finally time for the match. Countless people had been waiting for this match. The performances of w.a.n.g Zheng, Lear, and Achilles had indeed caught everyone’s attention, especially with the circulation of IG nowadays. Apparently, the resurrection round, which w.a.n.g Zheng experienced, was not a C or D-rank. It was the legendary S-rank resurrection round.

And his performance with the Golden Wheel was an even more superb work of art. It had defeated Vincent, who was the pride of Ma.n.a.lasuo. This young talent was awesome. What exactly was w.a.n.g Zheng’s level? Had the Solar System really fostered a true talent? Or was it just a flash in the pan? This round would be a very good test for it.

Strength was a thing that was pretty hard to say. It did not mean that you would be capable as long as you had a strong foundation. To be truly formidable, you had to face all sorts of challenges, some might even be very weird. The Darkness Empire would indeed prove to be one of them.

For those who were led by Sloughberg Bonthe and belonged to the Darkness Empire, they too were also thriving with ambitions. They had already defeated their old enemy in one go and were unstoppable. It should be even clearer that the Solar System Federation’s team was not their well-matched opponent.

No one knew where so many people had come from, but the large viewing hall suddenly seemed a little squeezy. There was a sudden increase in the number of older generals, and they evidently had not come for the Darkness Empire, but for the Solar System Federation.

n.o.body would be able to ignore the place of origin for mankind. Even if after all these years the Solar System Federation’s team had became weaker, the Solar System Federation was still one of the ten permanent member states. And if the Solar System Federation rose up, their influence would be even greater than that of any other country. This was the cultural core of mankind. If one was of mankind, one would never ever be able to forget their own root.

Sloughberg Bonthe was also observing his opponent. He had also received the news, even though it was not very exact, but the idea mentioned was very clear. To defeat w.a.n.g Zheng in this round, there was no need to fight face on with him, he only needed to obtain the final victory.

Did that mean to completely ignore his presence?

Sloughberg was dissatisfied. Given his strength, this was the first time his superiors had disregarded him like this. However, it was too bad that the military had no direct jurisdiction against him, as he was the successor of the Bonthe family.

Atlantis, Aslan, Arbiter, and Maya, all these powerful teams and their team members were present. It was obvious that their attention was completely different, they were all chatting zestfully, not knowing how the Solar System team would be dealing with the Darkness Empire.

Both parties drew lots for the battle. For the first round, the Darkness Empire would be up first.

First battle!

The player Darkness Empire sent was Bonthe’s cousin, Shaofeng Bonthe. He was the genius scout of the empire, and Sloughberg’s right-hand man.

For the pioneer battle, it was of no doubt that the Solar System Federation would either send Lear or Achilles. This was the safest choice as even though w.a.n.g Zheng liked to give surprises, it was not possible to play with fire at this time.

This previous time, Achilles had gone up for the first battle, so this round was handed over to Lear.

Lear appeared.

Lear’s choice was the Unbounded Sky Chains, as usual.

Shaofeng Bonthe’s choice was the ace mech of the Darkness Empire – from the Shadow Charm series – Shadow Charm Reaper. It was a light a.s.sa.s.sin-type mech and a typical reaper type, and it was no doubt an excellent choice to be used for special surprise attacks.

Both sides were descendants of aristocratic families. Presently, the superiority of Bonthe was possibly slightly higher. And in his eyes, Lear was nothing more than a loser, but this loser actually was especially fond of acting like a pretentious p.r.i.c.k. He really thought that the Earth was still like the Earth in the past.

Shaofeng looked over to Sloughberg, and Sloughberg nodded his head lightly. Shaofeng understood, and a smile emerged at the corner of his mouth, it was to abuse his opponent to death.

Looking at the functionality of the mecha, both sides had their own unique characteristics. The people of the Darkness Empire especially had special affinity with a.s.sa.s.sin mecha. This was particularly true for the children of the Bonthe family. The result would probably depend on the Ability X of the two as up till now the Ability X of both sides were still unknown. But for this round, they would likely have to use it.

The battles between a.s.sa.s.sin-type mecha with high agility were the most dangerous. The party with better skills would absolutely control the situation.

However, in Lear’s eyes, everyone who was not from Earth were like floating clouds or slaves.

The weapon of the Shadow Charm Reaper was a unique type of two-sided reaping sickle. With attack and defense integrated as one, this was the favorite mech of the Darkness Empire, and it could very well restrain all those knives and swords.

Once the gunshot was sounded, Shaofeng immediately attacked. The speed of the Shadow Charm Reaper was really fast. Such swift speed was also the unique characteristic of this type of mech. It could not be so easily judged as compared to ordinary mecha, and the swift speed also meant that it could also maneuver quickly.

The t.i.tanium sword of Lear was still hanging down casually. The Shadow Charm Reaper had already arrived, and the t.i.tanium sword was suddenly thrown outwards.

The two mecha entered a high-speed battle. In an instant, sparks were flying everywhere. The Bonthe family of the Darkness Empire was also known as a family of a.s.sa.s.sins. With regards to the research and development of a.s.sa.s.sin-type mecha, they had invested their hard-earned capital and effort to develop both the mech and the pilot’s performance and skills. However, against Lear, no advantage seemed to be obtained.

The Unbounded Sky Chains with a sword in each hand looked absolutely domineering and tyrannical. Yet every attack was very steady. Attack and defense were integrated as one. During attacks, it struck as fast as lightning, and during defense, it was as steady as a rock. But Lear’s way of thinking was something rare; he was meticulous and neglected no detail. He did not intend to kill in one hit.

On the contrary, one would want to kill in one hit, because more often than not, you would be giving your opponent the opportunity to kill you in one hit.

“Everyone, please pay more attention. Lear is giving us a chance to examine the sequence of movements of the Darkness Empire,” Achilles said. He was the one who understood Lear the most. After all, having competed for so many years, with Lear’s character, he was not someone who would be willing to do useless work. However, after the Solar System Federation had won against Ma.n.a.lasuo, their advantage had disappeared. The opponents definitely had already done thorough research on them, and once they were being targeted, they would realize that it would no longer be that easy for them in battles.

It was important to adequately understand the movements of the opponent. And for the Darkness Empire, there was no doubt that their training was standardised, hence their movements would almost be identical.

Bang, bang, bang…

Facing the onslaught attacks by the Shadow Charm Reaper, the Unbounded Sky Chains was unexpectedly steady and calm. It made people unsure of whether this was a warrior-type mech or an a.s.sa.s.sin-type mech, as it was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

Very soon, Shaofeng Bonthe was able to sense the intention of his opponent. He was trying to gain insight on his moves?

Boom…

The Shadow Charm Reaper suddenly let out an ear-piercing sound. It immediately released a large number of frantic attacks. It looked like ghosts were surrounding the Unbounded Sky Chains! It was the Shadow Charm Reaper’s specialty! The Shadow Charm Tornado Attack!

Making use of the energy of the swift movement of the Shadow Charm Reaper, together with the extremely fast Ability X, the ring-shaped area of effect attack allowed the two-sided reaping sickle to unleash its power. In an instant, sparks were flying everywhere, and the Unbounded Sky Chains was completely suppressed.

However, the Unbounded Sky Chains stubbornly defended meticulously against each attack without any neglect to detail. One sword after another was used to parry without the slightest bit of disorder. There was a type of momentum that was as st.u.r.dy as a boulder. It seemed like no one had ever seen Lear being anxious.

This was the momentum of someone wanting to win. Once the violent attack of the Shadow Charm Reaper showed no effect, it would be Lear’s chance to counterattack next.

Everyone could see that the sequence of movements for attacks for the Darkness Empire relied mainly on speed. It was the best to act defensively rather than attack to deal with them. Once the offensive power of the opponent weakened, it would be their chance.

However, at this moment, the speed of the Shadow Charm Reaper became even faster. The Ability X of Shaofeng Bonthe fully erupted – Extreme Speed Encirclement!

There were many types of speed-based Ability Xs. However, there were even more categories if you sub-divided them up. Some allowed for straight line acceleration, some allowed others to zip in opposing directions quickly, and for Shaofeng Bonthe, his ability was circular speeding, also known as arc speeding. When he moved within an arc, not only would there be no decrease in speed, but there would even be an increase in speed. Once it started a violent attack, it would not be able to stop.

And for the people of the Darkness Empire, they did not accept losers.

The shadow of the Shadow Charm Reaper had completely enveloped the Unbounded Sky Chains. The frantic attack was happening in all directions, just like a monster who wanted to devour the Unbounded Sky Chains.

So long as he could endure it, he would endure it!

Just at this moment, Sloughberg, who was outside the battlefield, let out a cold sneer, and the pupils of his eyes suddenly disappeared.

Even though the opponent’s attacks were frantic, he did not break through Lear’s defense. However, everything before everyone’s eyes disappeared all of a sudden.

There was darkness everywhere. All of a sudden, the mecha disappeared, the whole arena disappeared. Even people also disappeared. The boundless darkness was going to gobble up both your physical body and your soul, and only fear would remain.

Ability X – Dark Canopy!

There was a trace of confidence within Sloughberg’s smile. As long as he was around, even trash could become an unrivalled warrior.

The range of his Dark Canopy abilities was really wide. So long as the enemy was being targeted by his dark imprint, he would be able to launch it in an instant. And once you were being enveloped by the Dark Canopy, not only would you completely lose your field of vision, your Ability X would also be confined, and only fear would remain in you.

The closer the distance, the stronger the effects. Even though this time the distance was slightly far, to accomplish it for even one second, it would have sufficed.

This was truly an unfathomable ability of a leader!

Rumbled…

In a split second, the darkness disappeared. Both mecha were separated by an explosion. They retreated by ten over meters and laid motionless. And immediately after, both mecha started giving off sparks and exploded!

The first-aid staff came pouring in, and they dragged the two pilots out of their mecha promptly.

Sloughberg also froze for a moment. Under such situation, he actually was still able to strike back. Lear’s mind was indeed extraordinarily tough.

The slow motion replay appeared. There were two screens, and the other screen showed the dark energy descending. At the most crucial moment of the fight, the Unbounded Sky Chains mech was suddenly enveloped by a black sphere. No matter how skillful Lear was, he would not have expected this. And the most ruthless part was that his Ability X was also confined in that split second, and the opponent had been waiting for this moment all along.

Despite completely losing his field of vision and Ability X, Lear was still able to make an attack. His basic skills were astonis.h.i.+ng. He executed a quick and violent horizontal movement even though it was still a little slow, and he did not manage to avoid the hit on his chest, but his attack that followed immediately also caused the Shadow Charm Reaper to suffer a big loss. Shaofeng Bonthe definitely did not expect that anyone would still be able to react in that manner and make such a movement when being attacked by the Dark Canopy.

The result was that the Unbounded Sky Chains suffered six hits, and the Shadow Charm also suffered three sword attacks and one kick.

Both mecha lost their combat ability at the same time.

Everyone was looking at Sloughberg. It was evident that everyone had felt the ripple from his Ability X, it was just that no one would have expected that he would still be able to launch his Ability X even though he was separated by such a great distance. One must know that the Dark Canopy of Sloughberg had already been listed under the important abilities to take note of. The people of the Immortal Fairy Star, their old enemies, had been giving away their information for free everywhere.

The ability of the Dark Canopy was indeed scary. To lose your field of vision in an instant, this was not an attack on the mech, but a direct attack on the pilot. Without the ability to defend, and also this unfathomable ability, together with the effect of fear on the heart and soul, unless one had an extremely strong mind, they would definitely be affected. During a battle between experts, a little mistake would be deadly. The scariest thing was that it was able to confine the Ability X of the opponent, and the length of time of confinement was not clear.

It was just that n.o.body would have expected that he could launch the Dark Canopy from such a great distance. What about in close distance, how long would his Ability X be able to last???

Suddenly, everyone was feeling a little regretful for the Solar System Federation. Even though Lear had encountered such a power, he was still able to make a counterattack and ended the round in a draw. This was simply unbelievable, and it could only be said that his mind was absolutely scary enough. Basically, he was not affected by fear, and during the time when his Ability X was confined, he relied on his instinct to move horizontally, then he followed his senses to make the counterattack. This was definitely something that only an experienced soldier would be able to do; it was a move to exchange a life with another life.

But what should one do next?

This ability was not an ability that you could defend against just because you knew about it. On the contrary, the more you knew about it, the more terrifying it would be, because if you kept thinking about the opponent who was outside of the battlefield, once you were distracted, you would be crushed. This also meant that for every fight, the Solar System would have to face a situation of one against two, and this included the dark prince, Sloughberg Bonthe.

Both the pilots were injured. Little Bonthe seemed extremely furious. Even a cooked duck could fly away. He really did not expect that a person enveloped by the Dark Canopy would still be able to make a counterattack.

Lear’s arm was all b.l.o.o.d.y. One of the broken fragments had hit his right arm. However, Lear’s expression looked particularly gloomy and cold. The admiration of others to him was as worthless as trash. This time, he had given too much thought. He should not have given the opponent any chance, and should have killed him right away.

Having a team was the most harmful. If there were not so many useless people, he would not have had to waste so much effort!

Now the situation was not too encouraging.

Achilles and the rest could not think of any solution. As long as Sloughberg did not board a mech and charged into the battlefield, they were not breaking any rules. Looking at the proud expressions of the Darkness Empire, it seemed like they had expected this to happen.

This type of ability was more terrifying the more one knew about it. No one could stop the Darkness Empire from advancing.

Lear did not receive any in-depth treatment. He just sat down indifferently, and looked at w.a.n.g Zheng and Achilles. It was clear that the Solar System Federation had encountered a difficult problem. They were not scared at all to fight face them directly. However, now the opponents that they would be facing were all going to possess two scary types of Ability X. Perhaps Achilles and w.a.n.g Zheng would be able to win two rounds, but what would follow after that?

w.a.n.g Zheng stood up and walked over to the front of the stage. Looking at the referee he said, “The Solar System Federation is willing to carry out the team leader heavenly battle.”

Immediately, the whole audience was in uproar.

The team leader heavenly battle was a very special choice for the IG. Basically, for so many years since IG started, n.o.body had chosen it. Regardless of whether the game was in its preliminary or final stages, it could still be used.

As this was a choice of one player against the entire opponent’s team. It was not just five, but all twelve players.

IG was a military battle, and it was not a choice to completely eliminate the strong, hence that also meant giving a chance for a match for ten thousand enemies. So once the team leader heavenly battle was called for, the opponents would not be able to reject, but the opponent gained the power to kill their counterparts, and this also meant that regardless of life or death, they would be able to play unscrupulously.

What w.a.n.g Zheng was doing was basically seeking death…

“w.a.n.g Zheng, we have not reached a desperate end. There is no need to do this, we still have a chance!” Achilles immediately tried to stop him.

Lear was also stunned. One against twelve, this was the type of crazy thing to throw away one’s life that even he himself would definitely not do. Being the champion of IG was certainly something that he wanted, but to use your own life to exchange for it, it was definitely not worth it. This mental case!

w.a.n.g Zheng did not waver, he merely looked over at the people of the Darkness Empire.

They couldn’t help but say that w.a.n.g Zheng had no choice. The world was so big, and experts had been coming forth in large numbers. This ability of Sloughberg was really unfathomable.

The referee was stunned for a moment. “Are you sure?”

w.a.n.g Zheng gave a serious nod, and immediately the whole audience started to flare up. The first team leader heavenly battle in IG history had appeared!

Was he going to carry his whole team forward on his own???

Chapter 2852 Leveling Up Failed?

G.o.d smiled and looked at Han Sen and said, "You leveled up fast. If you wish to win this game of chess, you will have to work harder."

"Let's play again some other time. For now, I need to practice and get ready for the next fight." Han Sen wanted to keep playing chess, but his temper was something special. The more he lost, the more he wanted to go on. He wanted to keep trying until he beat his opponent.

Upon thinking of becoming b.u.t.terfly cla.s.s, he stayed his desire to keep playing chess.

"Can I look at the scabbard?" G.o.d asked.

"It is just a broken scabbard. There is nothing to see." Han Sen stood up. He wanted to go straight to Nine-Defense Palace.

"If I have guessed it correctly, you were the one that killed Sky Vine Radish," G.o.d casually said. "You should possess his G.o.d personality. If you allow me to inspect the scabbard, I can tell you how to use Sky Vine Radish's G.o.d personality."

"I don't have a G.o.d personality. If you want to see it that much, then take it. It is just a broken scabbard. What good is there to see?" Han Sen pulled out the scabbard to show G.o.d.

He had two G.o.d personalities already, but he did not know how to make use of them. It was pointless for him to keep holding onto them. If he knew how to use them, it would be very good for him.

G.o.d took the scabbard and a.n.a.lyzed it while speaking to Han Sen. "It is an armament made from a broken G.o.d personality. This should be Sky Armor G.o.d's G.o.d personality."

Han Sen guessed that the scabbard was made from a G.o.d personality. He did not expect it to be a broken G.o.d personality or that it belonged to Sky Armor G.o.d.

After seeing it, G.o.d returned the scabbard to Han Sen, smiled, and said, "Here is some advice. if you meet Sky Armor G.o.d, do not reveal this scabbard to him."

"I thought G.o.ds could not do anything to the creatures of the universe," Han Sen said.

"That is how things are supposed to work, but it depends on how you apply the rules." G.o.d didn't really explain anything.

"Are you saying that Sky Armor G.o.d will come and try to steal the scabbard?" Han Sen asked.

"Maybe. You should just be careful, anyway." G.o.d was not willing to talk anymore and said that something needed to be prepared. G.o.d was going to tell Han Sen how to make use of a G.o.d personality another time.

Han Sen went to Nine-Defense Palace a few times as part of his preparation to become a b.u.t.terfly.

Seeing Han Sen walk away, G.o.d looked up into s.p.a.ce where the geno G.o.d list was. Upon seeing the next opponent Han Sen was up against, G.o.d said with a strange expression, "There is only abyss knight in the bottomless abyss. With Sky Armor G.o.d's personality, he will try to possess the abyss knight. He will cast a G.o.d body landing. He will take back the G.o.d personality when he joins the geno G.o.d list. That means the next fight will be interesting. Let me see what your level is."

In Nine-Defense Palace, Han Sen opened up an empty palace and went inside. He quickly closed it. He did not know if he could avoid G.o.d watching him, but it was all he could do.

"Battle body evolving..."

After Han Sen chose to level up, he felt as if the cells of his entire body were changing. It was like countless currents of electricity coursed through his cells. It made his body feel itchy and numb. It was like his bones were going to become crispy.

Ka-cha-cha!

Han Sen seemed to hear his own bones being torn up, which shocked him. He quickly looked inside his body. He noticed it was not his bones that were cracking. The bones were actually growing really fast. It was like a child growing at an accelerated rate.

When his flesh grew, Han Sen's body became bigger. He went from looking like a child to having the appearance of an adult. But things hadn't ended just yet.

The Extreme King's Overbearing Eye, which had combined with Han Sen's eye because it had absorbed the gene changes of his genes, started to change too.

Han Sen's changes did not quite feel the same. The Extreme King's Overbearing Eye was true G.o.d cla.s.s. The changes triggered a tide of power to drown Han Sen's body.

After combining with the Extreme King's Overbearing Eye, he hadn't been able to notice any differences with his own eyes. He also could not use the power the Extreme King's Overbearing Eye contained.

Now, the Extreme King's Overbearing Eye was changing with Han Sen. It made him feel like he was being drowned in the Extreme King's Overbearing Eye's power. Everything he saw became black and white.

It did not matter if it was a yellow metal wall or a red pillar, all the colors in Han Sen's eyes became white. It was scarily white. It was like he was in a 2D comic book world.

Everything was white. Only when Han Sen's eyes drew closer to the palace's xenogeneic did he see black.

It was different from before. Han Sen's eyes were only showing things in black and white. Now, when he looked at the xenogeneic, he could see the xenogeneic had greed, hopelessness, toxins, hatred, jealousy, and pride. He was able to see all those negative emotions.

Han Sen was able to understand that there was something wrong. In all the palace around him, there were no more xenogeneics. The one closest to him was seven palaces away. He was able to see the black xenogeneic seven palaces away. It was very weird.

Han Sen looked in another direction. He saw xenogeneics inside other palaces. In Han Sen's eyes, they were black. Some of them were darker while others were lighter.

Han Sen suddenly realized that the black meant crime. The darker it was, the more crimes the creature had acc.u.mulated.

Han Sen looked at himself. He realized his body was transparent. One could not see if he was black or white.

"It looks like in every era, every enforcer has a special type of authority," Han Sen said to mock himself.

"Battle body has successfully leveled up to b.u.t.terfly... Battle body evolving..."

Why is it still evolving... Han Sen was surprised. He had just become a b.u.t.terfly, but he didn't absorb xenogeneic genes. So, how could he keep on evolving?

It looks like it is the effect of the Extreme King's Overbearing Eye. Han Sen felt his body continue to change. It was different from the previous changes. Now, every time he changed, Han Sen felt his body connect to the universe more and more.

It wasn't the whole universe perse. More accurately, it was the power of law in the universe. Because of the Extreme King's Overbearing Eye, Han Sen was evolving toward the rule, and he was becoming a true G.o.d because of it.

The black and white eye in Han Sen's hand was becoming stronger. The black and white rule G.o.d light was going to break s.p.a.ce and go to the sky. Han Sen's whole body was full of rule power.

Now, Han Sen had the wrong feeling. He seemed to control some sort of amazing power. If he was willing, he could judge a creature's sin how he wanted to.

But this power was very weird. Strength was no longer the scale of Han Sen's power now. He scaled with the sins of his opponent. The more sins an opponent had, the more power Han Sen could judge it by.

Bzzt!

Han Sen's eye exhibited changes that flipped the sky and ground. Clearly, his other eye was different. He felt it receive a big power jump.

"Is this true G.o.d power?" Han Sen felt the changed eye keep spreading. It was like it was leading his body to be deified.

Han Sen was suddenly shaking. The power that spread from his eye returned to his eye like the tide. All the changes stopped.

An announcement played in Han Sen's head. "Battle body leveling up failed."

Chapter 994: Ancient Demon Emperor Tree

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Dragon King had been returned to the ring by Han Sen. When Demon Emperor entered the Fourth G.o.d’s Sanctuary, not a single sanctuary had been discovered by humans yet.

When he was about to enter the Fourth G.o.d’s Sanctuary, his equipment became useless, so he gave all of it to his subordinates.

Dragon King received his armor, and when he tried to ascend to the Fourth G.o.d’s Sanctuary, it saved him from certain death. His ascension failed, but he was not killed outright as was expected.

Therefore, Dragon King made preparations for a future sacrificial ritual that would allow him to one day be reborn in full.

The Dragon Ring was his last resort, but neither method had worked out well for him.

Furthermore, the armor was damaged. But regardless, Dragon King hid it someplace special, so he could recover it upon his return to the world.

Han Sen put the ring on and hid it with his dongxuan aura. He summoned Moment Queen so he could ask for more information regarding Demon Emperor.

Moment Queen scoffed and wished to ignore Han Sen completely, but she knew that wouldn’t get her anywhere. So, to gain his favor, she told him what she could.

When she first reached the Third G.o.d’s Sanctuary, Demon Emperor had already been in the Fourth G.o.d’s Sanctuary for ten thousand years. What she heard were only whispers, murmurs, and rumors regarding the figure. And she never even knew Dragon King was a.s.sociated with him. What she had heard about most was the simple power Demon Emperor possessed. She had no idea about what he owned or anything.

Han Sen put Moment Queen away again. Then, he touched the ring and asked, “Dragon King, do you know someone named Yaksha?”

“He is another subordinate that belongs to Demon Emperor. We were never friendly, and he was always jealous of the armor I was given. Still, he never could beat me,” Dragon King told Han Sen without fuss.

“Did you know that he went to your sacrificial ritual?” Han Sen asked.

“That *sshole must have come for my armor. Little did he know that it was not with me. I foresaw the possibility of something like this occurring, and so I set up a trap. If he sprang it, he should be heavily wounded now,” Dragon King explained.

Han Sen did not move and asked, “You said you were given the armor. What was Yaksha given?”

“He was given a Demon Seed by Demon Emperor. It takes one-hundred-thousand years to grow. The tree that grows, upon maturity, can bear many fruit that provide spirit genes. If low-tier spirits consume one, they can outright open gene locks. But like I said, it takes one-hundred-thousand years for such a tree to grow,” Dragon King said.

“It’s no wonder Yaksha wanted to kill me, if it took that long.” Now Han Sen was understanding Yaksha’s motives a whole lot more.

Dragon King also said that if a king spirit ate one, it could increase a few self geno points. But whenever Han Sen ate one, it only provided him a single point. It seemed as if things were far more difficult for a super king spirit.

“I need to find a way to move that tree. Maybe I really can get it to grow some more fruit,” Han Sen thought to himself.

Han Sen kept Dragon King in the ring. He planned to leave him there for a while, as he wasn’t going to get the spirit’s armor just yet.

Even if the location he spoke of was true, the armor resided deep within the forest. And venturing there could prove too much, even for him. It was likely he’d encounter a variety of super creatures if he was to go there.

Even if he used the underground shelter, there was no guarantee it would work. And Han Sen was now responsible for the lives of everyone else who lived in the shelter, meaning he could not take so many risks. If a super creature attacked the shelter, it was likely they’d all be killed.

Han Sen looked at his self geno points and noticed he had a hundred and sixty-three. Forty-five of those had come from Dragon King.

Han Sen recalled he had to battle Split-s.p.a.ce King, so he decided to return to the spirit base.

“I hope he was patient enough to wait all this time,” Han Sen said to himself, as he drove the island to where he had proposed that the fight be held.

All the spirits were still gathered at Shen Xiao, waiting for the much-antic.i.p.ated fight to commence.

Split-s.p.a.ce King had waited there for three days, and when the shadow-spirit never appeared, they believed it was due to cowardice.

Unfortunately, Han Sen’s absence only fueled Split-s.p.a.ce King’s arrogance.

“I expected more from the spirit that beckoned me to fight.” Split-s.p.a.ce King feigned disappointment, but the mocking of his tone was hard to miss.

“You really want to have a self-fight with me?” A voice came from an incoming island, with a handsome spirit atop it.

“The King…”

“Is the nameless king spirit actually The King?”

“It would appear so.”

“Niiice!”

“Split-s.p.a.ce King said The King is garbage. I guess now we’ll see.”

…

When many spirits recognized Han Sen, they began to talk amongst themselves with great fervor.

“You are the king spirit that wished to fight me?” Split-s.p.a.ce King asked.

“Yep,” Han Sen answered.

“And you are The King?” Split-s.p.a.ce King asked.

“Yep.” Han Sen nodded.

“Well, that saves me some trouble. Let me kill you so we can get this over with,” Split-s.p.a.ce King said.

Han Sen started the self-fight. Due to Split-s.p.a.ce King being first rank in the entire spirit base, he was able to send him an invitation immediately.

Split-s.p.a.ce King promptly agreed, which led to his statue going bright.

“Self-fight? It really is a self-fight!”

All the spirits began screaming with excitement, as the hype consumed them. Only the greatest of enemies would commit to a self-fight, so it was rare to witness such a battle.

Chapter 603: White Tiger

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"How about we allow this temporary friend of ours to join us?" Sky Jealousy suggested, her presence breathing out an aura of elegance.

Tyrant furrowed his brows at the prospect but did not say anything in opposition. If the others had arrived without issue, he wouldn't have given the idea a second thought. But now, there were only five of them left. If they wanted to prove the existence of the creatures they sought, bringing Han Sen and the silver fox along to shoo off any additional mobs would be a great help.

"What does temporary mean?" Han Sen skewed his eyebrows as he asked.

"Give us a price and we will hire you as a sellsword or mercenary," Tyrant coldly said, still unwilling to offer a formal position in their fellows.h.i.+p.

Han Sen looked at Queen as she calmly said, "No matter what you decide, I will have you returned home without injury."

When Han Sen heard Queen say this, he smiled and replied, "Fine, you can hire me. I must warn you, however; I am expensive. I almost suspect you would not be able to afford me."

"How much do you want?" Tyrant continued to look at Han Sen with a stone-cold att.i.tude.

"Well, the silver fox and I count as two people. Therefore, we will accept one sacred-blood beast soul each. We won't settle for lower than that," Han Sen stated.

He wanted to receive some sort of benefit from this excursion, even if he hadn't come expecting any. And since he had come all this way anyway, he wanted to see how they planned on fighting a super creature.

With someone now paying him to watch, there was no reason for him to decline.

Formally becoming a member of Queen's team wasn't too important to him. After all, her team wasn't the only super creature-hunting team in the Second G.o.d's Sanctuary, so even if he wasn't accepted here, he was bound to be accepted elsewhere.

"Okay." Tyrant did not even blink before agreeing. He gave Han Sen one sacred-blood beast soul and then said, "This is a deposit. After we are done, you can have the other."

"I like that you are quick to make decisions. I have no problem with that." Han Sen accepted Tyrant's terms.

After Han Sen accepted, the others gathered around to form a plan of action. First, they would need to find the creature.

They did have a plan initially, but it had been made under the a.s.sumption all members would be present and available for combat. Now, with only five of them remaining, they'd have to come up with another plan. h.o.r.n.y Old Man was injured, too, so that left only four battle-worthy team members. Han Sen was now a part of the team, as well.

After Han Sen heard them discuss their predicament, he quickly understood the gravity of the situation.

Deeper inland, it was said, resided a certain white tiger. Upon visiting the island, someone on the team had spotted this creature, which appeared to be encased in a whirlwind of some sort. This suggested it had the ability to harness the wind itself. They had all decided to come to the island today to fight this creature that had been appropriately named "White Tiger." They had no plan to kill it just yet; only to get a feel for its power and accurately gauge the extent of its strength.

"With Han Sen here, we do not have to worry about any of the additional mobs that populate the island. The only drawback to his inclusion is a reduction of any extra goodies we might collect from slaying them. Okay, so who will tank and try to withstand the tiger's first strike?" Lazy Cat worriedly enquired.

Tyrant stepped up and said, "I will do it. I recently came into possession of a sacred-blood s.h.i.+eld. If it really is a super creature, I should be able to block its paws at least twice."

"Okay, so that is established. Tyrant will go in and block its attack first. I have drawn a map of the surrounding area. Sky Jealousy, you will go here..." Queen went into great detail, explaining the plan. She had developed all sorts of contingencies, too, for if anything were to go wrong during their a.s.sault.

Han Sen wasn't included in the battle plans. All he had to do was stand a fair distance away from the creature, holding the silver fox to ensure no other monsters came near.

Han Sen had no complaints. Queen and the others worked well together. He had only come here to watch, but he also thought if he were to join in, he might interfere with the synergy the others had with each other.

However, Han Sen was well-acquainted with the powers super creatures possessed, and he didn't think Queen and her team had what it took to bring one down.

Han Sen was worried that the silver fox might also end up chasing the White Tiger off, but these fears were soon allayed. From among three hills in the distance, a monstrous roar sounded, accompanied by a gusting wind. It was undoubtedly the White Tiger, and since it was still nearby, this most likely meant no other super creature would fear the silver fox, either. It felt as if a tornado was now racing down from the hills, and the White Tiger in its midst would soon be upon them.

"Get ready to fight!" When Queen issued her command, Tyrant and the others quickly a.s.sumed their positions and awaited the monster's arrival.

There were supposed to be a great deal of other monsters on the island, but only the tiger and its wind came for them. No other creature could be seen, and this allowed the others to confirm the silver fox's ability for themselves.

Han Sen secretly turned on his gene lock, which pushed his seventh sense to the max. With it, he could see the White Tiger running at them from a mile away.

Compared to many other creatures he had encountered; the White Tiger wasn't so big. It was only about four meters in length. Its body was snow white, and its eyes glistened like blood rubies.

The White Tiger was now carried on the wind it employed, and it ran towards them on the air, no different than how it would run on land. If it could fly in the sky without wings, then the creature could certainly harness the wind for its own devices.

The White Tiger looked angry, and the momentum that drove him in their direction was powerful. Although it wasn't too big, its presence exerted a pressure on them. It was almost like a champion, descending from the sky. The faces of Queen and her team were bleak.

Han Sen saw this, then fell back a bit with the silver fox in his arms. He was afraid of super creatures, and really wanted to avoid them. It felt as if it was only dumb luck that had allowed him to defeat one back in the First G.o.d's Sanctuary.

The super creatures that populated the Second G.o.d's Sanctuary had a crus.h.i.+ng power unlike anything else. If the baby silver fox had the ability to kill a person who had unlocked their gene lock in one hit, whatever the White Tiger could do would be much worse.

The silver fox now saw the White Tiger, and it too looked nervous. Its hair rose up on its ends, and it looked at the tiger with hostility.

Han Sen held the silver fox tight, not allowing it to do anything unusual. Although the silver fox was powerful, he didn't think it had what it took to defeat the adult White Tiger.

The White Tiger continued to traverse the air, but it was now only a mere dozen meters away from them. It raised its paw and whipped it through the air. As if the atmosphere was breaking in two, violent gusts of wind splintered out to attack the team.

Tyrant shouted and raised his s.h.i.+eld, his body clad in golden armor. His s.h.i.+eld presented a phalanx of steel, blocking the arrows of wind that came towards him.

Dong!

After the loud noise, Tyrant opened his eyes to see the s.h.i.+eld in his arms shatter. A sacred-blood s.h.i.+eld, destroyed in an instant.

Tyrant's hand had also been damaged. It was bleeding badly, and there was a tear in his thenar s.p.a.ce. The faces of the team members changed. The power of the White Tiger was even greater than they had expected, and it only took a brush of the air it controlled to annihilate Tyrant's defences.

Chapter 256: Five Arrows

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Feng Jiulun did have his own reasons to praise his nephew, who was indeed a strong archer.

Fang Wending had great techniques and was good at commanding the team. In the Military Academy League, he could absolutely be counted as a top player.

If it was not for Han Sen, he could easily lead Smith to beat a good team.

"Let's go occupy the heights first and seek opportunities to fight back," said Xu Tianhao.

"Captain, I don't think that's necessary. We are completely capable of fighting them head-on," Zhang Yang suggested.

Lu Meng also said, "We haven't been practicing as a team for long. If we fight them far away, our teamwork would not be very impressive. We should go over there and keep them close. Han Sen is such a good archer that he could even finish them off himself."

"What do you say, Han Sen?" asked Xu Tianhao.

"It's just Smith. We will win anyway," Han Sen smiled and said.

s.h.i.+ Zhikang suddenly became excited, "What are we waiting for? Let's go there right away."

"Let's go!" Xu Tianhao hadn't had this kind of spirit for two years in the school team since they had always been losing.

Since the freshman had all shown great courage, Xu Tianhao was happy to oblige.

The team of five used different objects as their cover and quickly ran toward Smith's half-court, without any intention to occupy the heights.

"Ha-ha, Black Hawk went all in. They did not even take Smith seriously."

"Awesome!"

"That seems a bit dangerous, doesn't it?"

"Dangerous how? Han Sen does not need to worry about Smith at all. He is on the same level as Jing Jiwu."

"Awesome, I like this."

Watching the five players of Blackhawk taking the risk, the viewers became thrilled. In an archery game, the most interesting was definitely a head-on fight, instead of a set offense.

Originally Feng Jiulun was worried that Fang Wending would have some trouble winning the game. Seeing Black Hawk going all in, he was amused and said, "It seems that I still gave Blackhawk too much credit. In addition to their bad skills, they had no tactics either. There is no cover or cooperation. If they want to do this, why did some of them pick strong composite bows? Everyone should have chosen a flexible longbow. I'm sure that Smith would win more easily than I predicted."

Watching the game, Wen Xiuxiu also frowned. Based on what she had learned recently, Feng Jiulun was making a lot of sense.

Blackhawk's strategy did seem quite clueless. Normally speaking, if a team were to approach their enemy, they needed to do it under all sorts of covers and push over slowly. When all five rushed together like they did, the team members could easily be hit by an enemy hidden in the dark.

The only chance of winning now was that Blackhawk could beat Smith instantaneously, leaving them no opportunity to launch any sneak attack.

However, by rus.h.i.+ng over first, Blackhawk had put themselves at a disadvantage. It was almost impossible to beat Smith at once.

Seeing the Blackhawk players rus.h.i.+ng over, Fang Wending smirked and ordered, "Lay low and occupy favorable spots. Shoot at my command."

"Captain, they have entered my shooting range. Should I start now?" A player holding a 14.0 composite bowl asked.

"Hold it. When they entered the area of fallen trees, we will launch a serious attack," said Fang Wending, observing his opponents.

The Blackhawk players seem to be going all the way. Although the Smith players could shoot them right now, only one composite bow was close enough to them.

As such distance, one bow could not make a huge difference. Since Han Sen and his teammates were still running, Fang Wending would let them get a bit closer to launch a better attack.

The area of fallen trees was the most open area in the entire field, and within the shooting range of all the Smith players.

Seeing the Blackhawk players moving into that area, even the viewers felt bad for them.

"This game should be ending in less than five minutes." Feng Jiulun saw that and smiled.

Very soon, Feng Jiulun's smile froze on his face.

When Han Sen and his teammates entered the shooting range of the Smith players, it also meant that the Smith players were now within the range of Han Sen's shooting range.

When Fang Wending gave the order to fire away, arrow after arrow flew toward where the Smith players were hiding.

Two of the Smith players who thought they were hiding well were out immediately.

Although Fang Wending and the other two reacted fast and dodged the arrows, they lost the opportunity to shoot back.

Silence fell as everyone was shocked by Han Sen who shot five arrows in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, loud cheers sounded in the stands.

"What the heck? How did he know where the five persons of Smith were hiding?"

"So fast! I did not even see him touch his bow."

"Such a strong player, no wonder Jing Jiwu takes him so seriously."

"He is not only the black and white boxing emperor, but also an amazing archer!"

"Invincible."

The field was so large that if players were hiding, it would be hard for them to be found. However, Han Sen's arrows were like missiles and located the Smith guys accurately, immediately pinned his enemies down. It was like a match between an adult and children.

It was not that hard for Han Sen though. He was good at a.s.sa.s.sination and the field had a fixed map. Han Sen knew that the moment they reached the fallen trees area was the best opportunity for the Smith guys to launch an attack. And to tell where they were hiding was one of his strengths anyway.

1970 Couldn“t Be More Wrong!

His thunderous roars stopped everybody from further movements, but they attracted the attention of even more villagers, too.

Everybody knew that the disagreement between Gu Zhengyang and Zhao Lie had been brewing for more than a few days. The bomb of contradictions finally exploded at the most critical moment.

“Recklessness?” Zhao Lie was dumbfounded at first. Then he burst into such fury that he pointed at Gu Zhengyang and shouted, “Are you blind? Even if you are blind, your ears are still working, aren’t they? Before those sc.u.mbags charged at us last night, it’s obvious that several experts blew up our searchlights from very far away, which created an opportunity for the sc.u.mbags!

“Just think with your head. After only one moment, all the searchlights were blown up. Which village around here can support such shooters?

“Now, your daughter and your disciple have brought back a few modified guns and four pieces of tattoos, proving that tough bandits from the Black Water Gang played us. What does it mean? It means that somebody set their eyes on us a long time ago!

“Hehe. Had it not been for somebody instigating trouble in secret, how could the starving sc.u.mbags from the dozens of villages have reached an agreement so quickly and attacked us?

“Therefore, whatever choice we made last night, those people would have charged at us all the same. Do you understand it all, my great village leader?”

“At the very least, if we had thrown the a.s.sets in time, they would have attracted the attention of a large batch of sinners,” Gu Zhengyang said solemnly. “Chances are that not so many people would have killed. There would still have been room for negotiation!”

“Negotiation? Hahaha. To this moment, you still do not realize what makes you an idiot. Your biggest problem is that you left too much room for negotiation!”

Zhao Lie laughed so hard that tears were running out of his eyes, but his tears were actually red. Perhaps the blood vessels inside his eyeb.a.l.l.s had broken apart, and his fury and his blood had darted out at the same time.

“A few years back, I kept saying that while the Village of Peace was strong and had abundant a.s.sets, we should sweep across all the villages in the hundred square kilometers around us, turning everyone into a slave soldier of the Village of Peace. That way, the opponents competing for a.s.sets with us would be fewer, and there would be an additional barrier of protection outside of the village.

“But you were indecisive and blinded by your petty kindness. As a result, the potential threat has grown into major trouble. Today, the sc.u.mbags that you let go of in the past have killed our own villagers instead!

“You think you are merciful and great, that you can save everyone, huh? Look at the dead bodies on the ground. Look at the villagers who are screaming. It’s all your fault! Your way does not work in the Land of Sins!”

Gu Zhengyang’s body shook hard. As he listened to the screams of so many wounded villagers, the fury on his face immediately thawed.

Zhao Lie’s voice became even more high-pitched, sounding both like the roar of an eagle and the cries of a crow. “Don’t you understand? The gangs from the b.l.o.o.d.y Worlds have long been coveting us. They have already made up their mind to destroy the Village of Peace. The only way to protect ourselves is to get stronger, whatever the cost!”

Gu Zhengyang struggled to say, “We have a pact with the gangs of Double Dragons Valley, and we offer them tremendous a.s.sets every year. There are few profits but a lot of losses if they attack the Village of Peace. Do they have any reason to do such unprofitable business?”

With a gloomy face, Zhao Lie said, “There is only one reason. We are too strong. The Village of Peace gets stronger every year. It will soon get out of the control of the gangs in Double Dragons Valley and be capable of all the villages in the hundred square kilometers around.

“The gangs wish to see a Desolate World that is disorganized and plagued by infighting so that they can ravage us blatantly. There’s no way that they want to see a powerful force rising in the Desolate World, threatening their reign.

“Therefore, even if demolis.h.i.+ng the Village of Peace is not a profitable business and a minor price must be paid, they will not hesitate to do it.”

“We are not uniting all the villages in the hundred square kilometers!” Gu Zhengyang said anxiously.

“No, we are not.” Zhao Lie put on a derisive smile. “I believe you, but will the heads of the gangs in the Double Dragons Valley believe you?”

Gu Zhengyang was lost for words.

“This is the law of the Land of Sins,” Zhao Lie shrieked. “This is the rule of survival! Leader, I used to really admire your strength, but even if you were ten times stronger, you cannot stay as naïve as this forever! One day, you will get everybody killed if you do not do things according to the rules of the Land of Sins!”

Gu Zhengyang panted quickly and asked, “Then, what do you want right now?”

“Very simple. An a.s.sault!”

With a c.o.c.ky and cruel smile flas.h.i.+ng on his face, Zhao Lie said, “Perhaps you do not know this, but I had a lot of boxes that contained compressed-food thrown to the sinners on the other side during the chaotic battle last night. As I expected, they took away all the compressed food during their retreat.

“Everybody knows that those who have been hungered for a long time have a very weak stomach. If they eat excessive food in a short amount of time, it is very easy for their belly to become bloated. Even if they are not killed by indigestion, they must be drowsy and unable to move right now. How much combat ability can they possibly have?

“We had a b.l.o.o.d.y battle just now. Both parties suffered heavy losses. n.o.body will expect us to launch a sudden a.s.sault at this moment!

“It must be noted that the dozens of villages on the other side have their own interests and are wary of each other. Their camps are far away from each other. Even if one of the camps is under attack, no reinforcements will ever arrive.

“Therefore, we will take the opportunity to gather our last elites and launch an unexpected attack. We will catch them unprepared and conquer them one by one. All the hidden problems will be eradicated in advance, and all the a.s.sets will be ours!”

After Zhao Lie finished his plan, the young and pa.s.sionate villagers shouted and cheered again. Somebody was also knocking the s.h.i.+eld and tanks with their sabers. It was quite chaotic.

“No!” Gu Zhengyang vetoed the plan without any hesitation. “We have just been through a huge battle. Everybody is too exhausted to fight anymore! Besides, we have done no reconnaissance on their camps, and we do not know the first thing about the environment on the other side of the ruins! If what you said is true, and some gangs are behind this, it is not entirely impossible that they have backup plans. We will likely be surrounded by a large batch of enemies when we attack one of the camps.

“The remaining elites are our last bargaining chips. There’s no reason we should take such a wild gamble!”

Instead of being moralistic, Gu Zhengyang focused on gains and losses. The villagers who were older and more prudent nodded quickly.

Zhao Lie’s face became even gloomier. He squeezed his saber so hard that sweat seemed to be flowing out of it. He gnashed his teeth. “We have suffered heavy losses this time. If we do not take back what we’ve lost, how will the Village of Peace survive the next year? The time has come for us to make a desperate struggle, and you are still hesitant here?

“Hehe. n.o.body is asking you to partic.i.p.ate. If you are scared, just stay here and command the non-combatants. I will certainly bring back a large batch of a.s.sets for the village!”

Zhao Lie seemed ready to leave, but Gu Zhengyang stepped forward heavily and stood in his way. Glaring at him in the eyes, Gu Zhengyang declared, one word after another, “Captain Zhao, we have to be responsible for the life of every villager. I do not think that you are suitable to be the general commander of the operation.”

“Is that so?” Zhao Lie laughed in fury. With blood red brilliance beaming out of his eyes, he looked around and held his chest high. “I also do not think that you are suitable to be the leader of the Village of Peace!”

Upon hearing that, all the villagers were shocked.

Their conflict had been purely about the strategies, but what they were fighting over right now was doubtlessly ‘power’.

In the Land of Sins, such a power struggle often came with a miserable price.

After Zhao Lie’s declaration, the whispers of the villagers immediately vanished. Everybody looked at the two of them in bewilderment. They even stepped back under the intimidation of the violent and daunting auras from them, clearing an open field for them.

“My father is right. Gu Zhengyang is too indecisive and hypocritical. That’s why the Village of Peace suffered the losses today!” Zhao Chong was the first to jump out. He pointed at Gu Zhengyang and shouted, “Look at his sick, wretched appearance. He is not half as strong as he used to be. Why is he still qualified to be the leader of the Village of Peace? Everybody saw how bravely my father fought last night. Only my father is qualified to be the village leader!”

“Shut up, Zhao Chong!” Han Te could not help but step forward and curse, too. “You think that all a village leader needs to do is fighting? So, any random guy with more brawn than brains can be a village leader? My master is considerate and meticulous! What if the gangs have set up traps on the other side of the ruins, waiting for us to jump in? If you do what your father said, you won’t even know how you are killed in the end! My master is saving your life out of good will, and you are still throwing out bullsh*t?”

Zhao Chong almost went crazy. “Good. Come on. You didn’t get enough of a beating half a month ago, did you? Why don’t we have a fight first?”

The two teenagers both had their supporters in the village. A lot of hotblooded young people were immediately shouting and calling each other’s names.

“Enough!”

Gu Zhengyang and Zhao Lie stopped the conflict among the juniors almost at the same time.

“Leader, there is no need for the juniors and the villagers to take sides because of the disagreement between us,” Zhao Lie said coldly. “Why don’t we resolve the problem straightforwardly with the rules of the Land of Sins!”

Looking at the ruins behind, Gu Zhengyang said solemnly, “Zhao Lie, you have to choose such a moment to resolve the problem?”

“It is exactly because the Village of Peace is in peril that I have to resolve the ‘greatest problem’ immediately.” Zhao Lie warmed up his wrists and ankles hurriedly. Thick veins protruded on his skin, as if countless snakes had been tamed inside his body. “There is no personal grudge between us. On the contrary, you saved my life three times, and I save yours four times from the claws of mutated beasts. We used to be life-and-death brothers.

“However, I cannot watch you lead the villagers down on the wrong path anymore!”

Chapter 826: Dark Reflection

Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97

Li Yao suddenly shuttered. Firefly was gone, and he was floating in front of a blue planet in a foreign s.p.a.ce zone again.

A frustrated, depressed voice was echoing inside his ears. “We’ve failed. We’ve completely failed!

“It’s too strong and too dark. We cannot destroy it. Can’t!”

Then, Li Yao heard himself roaring, “No. The Vulture Plan has not failed yet. Even if I drift to the end of the universe, I will go on fighting and return one day!”

BAM!

The picture blossomed like broken gla.s.s. He found himself back in the cabin of Firefly faced with dozens of himself, who were all deep in thought.

“It seems that the Vulture Plan is indeed very important for us. So important that we could not forget it even though we were reincarnated after a long journey. We even gave ourselves the nickname ‘Vulture’ subconsciously in order to keep us from not forgetting it.”

The dozen Li Yaos merged together one by one. They mumbled, “Does the so-called ‘Earth’ exist in reality? If it does, is it really a regular planet without the slightest spiritual energy?

“I vaguely recall that there are legends of Pangu, Nuwa, and the Primeval Lord of Heaven on Earth, too. There are also dinosaurs, fossils, and prehistoric creatures. But they are vastly different from ours when it comes to details.

“On Earth, dinosaurs were just pure ferocious beasts. They were not intelligent creatures, and they never created a brilliant civilization.

“How is Earth related to the worlds of Cultivators? Was the earthling Li Yao really a common mechanic? How were we banished or escaped from Earth to the Heaven’s Origin Sector?

“Mysterious. It’s really mysterious!

“Do you not want to unveil the Vulture Plan and even return to Earth someday to find out the ultimate truth?”

After every sentence, two Li Yaos would meld into one. When the last questions were posed, there was only one identical self left in front of the real Li Yao.

Li Yao licked his lips and almost nodded on instinct, but a stinging pain suddenly came over from the depths of his soul. He was alarmed and suddenly blurted out, “Who are you exactly?”

The Li Yao in front of him smiled. “You know it. I am you, except that I am the part in your soul regarding the ‘Vulture Plan’ that has been locked and sealed!

“I have no idea why the part was sealed. Perhaps some people did not want us to know the truth?

“All in all, when you were striving for the Nascent Soul Stage just now, you caused a crack on the indestructible seal. That was why so many pieces of your soul leaked out and raised a series of questions for you!

“Now, you’ve found so many inexplicable points. Do you not want to find out the real answer?

“Come on. Let’s join together and break the seal. We will unravel the secrets of the ‘Vulture Plan’ and find out what exactly the so-called ‘Earth’ is.”

The stranger was talking in a bewildering way while he extended his right hand.

Li Yao held his breath, his eyes full of confusion. He could not help but raise his right hand and touch the stranger’s fingertips.

With a casual smile, the stranger mumbled, “Yes. Just like that. After we are completely melded, we will definitely find out the truth of every—Ahhh!”

His last word was disrupted by a miserable scream.

As it turned out, intense electric arcs suddenly burst out from Li Yao’s fingertips and pierced at the stranger. Caught unprepared, the stranger was immediately wreathed in electric arcs!

The stranger shrieked in outrage, “What—what are you doing? Do you not want to find out the truth?”

Li Yao sniffed. The confusion in his eyes was all gone, and they were now as clear as water and as sharp as blades. “Are you planning to fool me with such petty tricks? I don’t believe in your locks and seals!

“Let me think carefully about what you are exactly!”

Li Yao thought quickly. Pictures of the past quickly sild in front of his eyes, and he concentrated all his computational ability on scanning for the anomalies.

So, he found one!

It was during his fierce battle against Yan Xibei who had an ‘apocalyptic body’ on Iron Plateau. The two of them had fought so hard that they were stained with a lot of each other’s blood!

Li Yao’s pupils shrank violently. “You are the Blood Stripe Virus.”

When he said ‘Blood Stripe Virus’, the stranger shrieked even more twistedly than just now. The electric arcs ridded him of his disguise bit by bit, revealing a person identical to Li Yao, except that his face was as crimson as blood, which made him looked like a weird statue covered in a layer of red lacquer.

The Blood Stripe Virus, a mysterious alien species in the universe, boasted terrifying mind control and body transformation techniques. They were the masters of the t.i.tan Warriors and the launchers of the apocalypse of the Flying Star Sector five thousand years ago!

Cold brilliant was spreading out like ripples in Li Yao’s eyes, as he sneered, “So, this explains a lot.

“Decades ago, you snuck into the body of Yan Xibei, the best warrior of Iron Plateau at that time, and bewildered him in secret so that he became one of the four kings of the Temple of Immortals. You then influenced him to refine the apocalyptic body and carry out your plan.

“Eight years ago, during the fierce battle between me and Yan Xibei, you saw that Yan Xibei was on the losing side. Therefore, you hid yourself in one drop of his blood and infected me when the blood touched my body!

“However, at that time, you were still very feeble. Therefore, you simply lurked and acc.u.mulated your strength.

“Right. When I was training in Yan Xinjian’s residence below Spider Den, there was a time when I was agitated and having hallucinations. That must have been you testing me because you had recovered part of your strength, wasn’t it?

“However, the result of your test was that my soul was still very solid, and it was not a good time to start swallowing me yet. Therefore, you settled down again.

“In the end, when I clashed with the star child from the Imperium of True Human Beings and my soul was seriously wounded by his self-detonation, you finally got your chance!

“When my soul was shattered and I was cast into a coma, you built the illusions of the Heaven’s Origin Sector deep inside my head, trying to stop my soul from struggling and push me into an eternal sleep. If so, you would have been able to occupy my body, which does not belong to you!

“But at the critical moment, you accidentally triggered the ‘Vulture Plan’, which had been hidden in the deepest part of my soul and woke me up!

“There was nothing you could do, and you feared that an attempted possession might alarm me. Therefore, you changed your methodology and continued influencing me in secret.

“Now that I think of it, the decisions I made recently are so weird!

“I have reached the superlative height of the Core Formation Stage in my twenties, and my combat ability is equivalent to that of the Nascent Soul Stage. My training speed is not slow. Instead, it is too fast!

“As the saying goes, more haste, less speed. My foundations are not steady, and my beliefs are not firm. The priority for me right now should be stabilize myself in my current level instead of making breakthroughs blindly. Is it really necessary for me to train in the four-dimensional universe?

“The war of two Sectors depends on the comprehensive capability. Even if I advance into the Nascent Soul Stage, I’m afraid that I still won’t be the decisive factor of the war at all!

“Besides, even if I wanted to train myself in the four-dimensional universe, I could have established a training room in Sparkle. Why did I have to build a stars.h.i.+p for myself?

“Right now, I’ve finally realized that I was bewildered by you when I made those decisions!

“You meant to possess my body when I was trying to make a breakthrough by force in the four-dimensional s.p.a.ce, when my soul would be most vulnerable!

“If I were on Sparkle, Professor Mo Xuan and the others would have been monitoring my training status closely. Should anything have gone wrong, they would immediately have broken into the room to rescue me, and they certainly would have discovered the anomalies in me!

“But on Firefly, I am all by myself. If an accident happens to me, I will have absolutely no one to turn to, isn’t it so?”

The b.l.o.o.d.y Li Yao in the front was gradually melting with mists of blood spreading out like the icy sculptures under the sun.

But his countenance was becoming more and more evil and weird. He smiled and said, “We are indeed smart. We got most things right, but we are afraid that we are wrong about one thing.

“It’s true that we have contracted the Blood Stripe Virus, but the life form of the Blood Stripe Virus is totally different from human beings, or any other creatures. They do not have self-awareness, thinking ability, or a soul!

“Therefore, I am not the Blood Stripe Virus; I am you. More precisely speaking, I am the other side of you.”

Li Yao’s eyelids were bouncing quickly. He could not have been any warier.

The b.l.o.o.d.y Li Yao opened his hands and smiled wickedly. “Don’t be nervous. When there is brightness, there is darkness. Brightness and darkness are just two sides of the same coin. You have always pretended to be chivalrous, determined, persistent…

“But, do ask yourself, are you really as righteous, resolute, and unwavering as you appear to be?

“When you struggled to survive in the magical equipment graveyard, did you never have the intense want to kill someone?

“Faced with your cla.s.smates’ mockery and watching them riding their luxury shuttles, were you not strongly jealous of them?

“While the overwhelming beast tide was coming at you, was there never a moment when you thought to give up everything and run away immediately?

“When Yan Xibei and Xiao Xuance preached their ideology to you, did you never have a second thought and wonder whether or not the path they’d been walking on was the right one?

“When you learned that the apocalypse from the Imperium of True Human Beings was about to hit the Heaven’s Origin Sector, did you never have dark thoughts in your mind and complained to yourself that the Heaven’s Origin Sector was burdened by the Flying Star Sector?

“Was there never a moment when you even thought that it would be best if the apocalypse changed its direction right then and lunged at the Flying Star Sector instead?

“It was the dark thoughts that you once had, your hatred, jealousy, fear, suspicion, wavering, fury, and confusion which gradually brewed, grew, and proliferated, that gave birth to me in the end.

“Who am I? I am just a tiny reflection of your soul in the abyss of darkness.”

Chapter 1539 – Impeachmen

t

After dealing with the black dragon, Zhao Hai had nothing else to do. At this time, he was looking at the monitor observing the children. The children were now being taught by the Undead teachers. They were currently replaying the fight between Zhao Hai and the black dragon. The children exclaimed at every move, they looked quite adorable.

Zhao Hai liked these children very much. The same was true for Laura and the others. Zhao Hai actually felt strange about this situation. He had been with Laura and the others for quite some time. However, they had yet to bear children. It was confusing to Zhao Hai and his wives.

The s.p.a.ce provided them with very healthy bodies. It shouldn’t have been a problem for them to have any children. And strangely, they didn’t become pregnant.

However, Zhao Hai didn’t care much about this. In any case, Laura and the others were now strong cultivators. Their lifespans were very long. They could worry about this later on.

At this time, Cai’er looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Young master, take a look at this. Xiang Bo was outside for quite some time. He didn’t do anything else and just walked back and forth. It seems like he is thinking about something.”

Zhao Hai stared, then he nodded and said, “I’ll go take a look.” His body disappeared and returned to the h.e.l.l King’s Ship. He opened the door and went outside.

Xiang Bo was still walking back and forth thinking about how to make friends with Zhao Hai. Because of this, he had yet to return to his room.

Zhao Hai looked at Xiang Bo and asked, “Xiang Bo, did something happen? What’s wrong?”

Xiang Bo couldn’t help but jump upon hearing Zhao Hai’s voice. Normally, he would notice if someone was getting close to him. But this time, he failed to notice Zhao Hai.

Xiang Bo was also too focused on thinking that he didn’t notice Zhao Hai’s arrival. Upon seeing Zhao Hai, he was somewhat embarra.s.sed. He smiled faintly and said, “Mister, it’s you. I just came here because I have nothing to do. Why did Mister come out? Is something wrong?”

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “Everything’s alright. There’s no need to worry.”

Xiang Bo sighed and said, “Mister, you mentioned it before. But after we head back, how do you think they would reward us?”

Zhao Hai stared, then he shook his head and said, “I really don’t know. However, our contribution would certainly be big. They shouldn’t reward us poorly.”

Xiang Bo looked at Zhao Hai and bitterly smiled, “Mister, you can fight against Immortal Experts. Also, you have Mu Yu behind you. If you want, you can choose to not partic.i.p.ate in the expedition. Why did you come?”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “If I don’t want to come, then of course I can choose not to go. In fact, before Elder Mu retired, he told me that Elder Shen might deal with me. Therefore, he told me to go into a closed door retreat. I can just go out in the future when the expedition is sent over. However, I didn’t agree. This is because I want to explore the sea. Although Elder Shen was the one who gave me this task, it was me who chose to go.”

Hearing Zhao Hai, Xiang Bo sighed and said, “So it’s like that, no wonder. Talking about it, it’s good to have people watching your back. As for us, we’re dispensable people in our realms or have offended someone high up. This is why we’re a.s.signed to this task. If not for you, we wouldn’t be able to survive.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “That no longer matters. Once we go back and receive our reward, you can rest a.s.sured that sooner or later you will also become Immortal Experts.”

Xiang Bo forced a smile and said, “That’s easier said than done. Although we made a huge contribution, we have n.o.body above us. We would still have a hard time getting good things. Alright, let’s no longer talk about this.”

Zhao Hai looked at Xiang Bo and smiled as he said, “Cultivation is never easy for anyone. You have also gone through multiple hardships to reach where to currently are. Don’t think about it too much. A cultivator can only move forward if they are alive. If you stagnate, then you will move backwards. When the time comes, you are doomed to fail. Meeting each other in this expedition is fate. From now on, we are friends. You can come to me if you need any help.”

Xiang Bo, who was racking his brain thinking about how to befriend Zhao Hai, was stunned when he heard this. The reason he said those things to Zhao Hai was because he had nothing else to tell. He wanted to open a topic so that he can establish rapport with Zhao Hai.

However, Xiang Bo didn’t hold much hope at the time. After all, Zhao Hai had a great status. He might say a few things to Zhao Hai that would cause him to leave. But contrary to what he expected, not only did Zhao Hai stay, he also said that they were friends. This was definitely a surprise.

Xiang Bo recovered and then immediately said, “Mister’s words are too polite for someone like me. Meeting you is already a great achievement to me.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “It’s not too polite. I used to be an ascender. Even in the World of Cultivation, there aren’t a lot of people who want to meet me. Haha. Here, this is a gift for you.” After he said that, Zhao Hai flipped his hand and took out a jade box containing a thousand-year old blood ginseng.

Blood ginseng was very precious for cultivation. Not only could it help in cultivation, it also had excellent healing properties. This was especially true regarding very old blood gineng. Even in the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield, it was very difficult to find a 1000-year old blood ginseng.

But for Zhao Hai, these things were nothing that great. He can get as many as he wants inside the s.p.a.ce. He can get a 100 year old ginseng and then accelerate its growth to a thousand years. Not to mention 1,000-year old ginseng, the s.p.a.ce has several 10,000-year old blood ginseng.

Xiang Bo received the jade box and saw a huge human-shaped blood ginseng inside. Xiang Bo’s complexion couldn’t help but change. He hastily closed the jade box and said, “Mister, I cannot accept this. This is too precious.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “It’s fine. Just accept it. This thing is useless to me. Go and take a rest. Don’t forget to reach out to me if you ever need help in the future.”

Xiang Bo gratefully looked at Zhao Hai. He nodded and carefully stored the jade box. Then he turned around and left. Looking at Xiang Bo, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile.

Although he didn’t know that Xiang Bo wanted to befriend him, he still wanted to become friends with Xiang Bo. He has a plan for the future, and befriending Xiang Bo was the start.

As he stood on the deck of the h.e.l.l King’s Ship, looking at the dark clouds being cut apart, Zhao Hai let out a long breath before he murmured, “Even as a chess piece, I will be a chess piece that cannot be easily manipulated.”

After he said that, Zhao Hai took another look around. Now, the ship has been covered by the dark clouds. He couldn’t see anything at all. And because he understood these dark clouds very well, Zhao Hai knew that his spiritual force couldn’t go far. These dark clouds had a strong suppressive effect against the spiritual force of cultivators.

Zhao Hai let out a long breath. This sea wasn’t easy to search. His current spiritual force wasn’t any less than Immortal Experts. But since he arrived here, he couldn’t detect much of the surroundings. Immortal Experts would have the same experience, maybe even worse. This was because Zhao Hai wasn’t being affected by the dark clouds, which was something the other Immortal Experts didn’t have.

Zhao Hai sighed and then returned to the cabins before going to the s.p.a.ce. Laura and the others were currently sitting on the sofa and looking at the monitor. The screen showed Xiang Bo and the others. Xiang Bo was now sitting inside his room holding the jade box that Zhao Hai gave him. He stared at the blood ginseng for a long time before he received it once more. Then he sat in place blankly, thinking about something.

The others were sitting cross-legged in meditation. There wasn’t much to see, so Laura and the others changed the display to the Hundred Treasures Realm’s headquarters.

When the headquarters was shown, Zhao Hai and the others were stunned. This was because they saw someone there, it was Mu Yao!

Zhao Hai stared. Mu Yao should be in retreat right now. Why did he come out again? Mu Yao was also followed by a lot of people. These people were Severed Soul Experts and Transcending Tribulation Experts of the Hundred Treasures Realm. In addition to these people, there were also at least 50 Immortal Experts. Opposite Mu Yao were Shen Wei as well as the Immortal Experts who were with him.

Seeing this, Zhao Hai understood the situation. It seems like Mu Yao was about to impeach Shen Wei. Shen Wei’s actions were very unfair, causing dissatisfaction among the cultivators of the Hundred Treasures Realm. Mu Yao was also waiting for an opportunity, and it has come to reveal itself. However, Zhao Hai knew that he wasn’t enough to be a reason. So what opportunity did Mu Yao see to allow him to attempt an impeachment?

Adjusting the display, Zhao Hai finally knew. It turns out that Shen Wei punished the experts who spoke on behalf of Zhao Hai in the past few days. This caused everyone to be dissatisfied. It must be known that although the Elders of the Hundred Treasures Realm held great power, they couldn’t just punish people that easily. They needed to be fair otherwise people would rise up and impeach them.

Although Shen Wei had only been in control for a short time, his suppression of the Mu Faction has become so blatant that it began to displease other people. After all, the Giant Spirit Realm and the Fireweavers’ defeat was caused by the leadership of the Mu Faction. The Mu Faction’s prestige in the Hundred Treasures Realm was at an all-time high. It’s no wonder that Shen Wei’s removal of the Mu Faction’s people from important positions managed to anger people.

Additionally, there was Shen Wei’s move to embarra.s.s Zhao Hai and then his action against the dissatisfied Severed Soul Experts. The anger that acc.u.mulated finally exploded. This allowed Mu Yao to group everyone to impeach Shen Wei.

After absorbing the Battle Qi, Green’s injuries were miraculously improving. He opened his eyes and saw Meirin. She stood before him with a worried expression and he couldn’t help but chuckle slightly. “Good stuff. The injuries are completely cured.”

Meirin and the others couldn’t help but be relieved. At the same time, Meirin asked, “Are you really fine? But your meridians had been injured,”

Green nodded his head and said, “I’m fine, really. This Magic Peach is really amazing. It seems we will have to save a few for our own use.”

Zhao Hai couldn’t help but laugh. Green stood up from the bed, looked at the crowd, and questioned, “Master, how are the arrangements for the slaves? Now that they are back in the s.p.a.ce, I fear some of them won’t be that used to it.”

Zhao Hai nodded. The slaves had been used to life outside of the s.p.a.ce where they had their own rooms along with their own meager possessions that they cherished a lot. Since they have returned to the s.p.a.ce, they were somewhat sad.

Green said with a cold voice, “Purcell clan, you all just wait. Sooner or later, what you had given us, we will certainly return it.”

Zhao Hai also had an expression of hatred. This time, the Purcell clan really went too far. They even requested a Rank Nine expert to deal with them and they wanted to exterminate them all.

* * * * *

What the group didn’t know was that presently, the Purcell clan was more worried than them, especially Kaiser. Kaiser absolutely did not expect that even after he asked a Rank Nine expert, Green could still escape. If Buffy killed Green this time, then he could say it was fortunate. If they couldn’t kill Green, it would be very troublesome for the Purcell clan.

Although Buffy said he had injured Green, and that it was possible that Green wouldn’t make it back to Rank Eight, there was still Meirin who was also a Rank Eight water magician.

If Meirin came to confront the Purcell clan from the front, then they were not afraid. But they were afraid that Meirin would attack them from behind. The Purcell clan had a lot of business within the continent. Each year, they would send caravans along with some of the juniors of the clan to allow them to try and gain some experience. If Meirin wanted revenge, then she could retaliate and get rid of those people. Their losses would be big as they couldn’t just let a Rank Eight expert follow and protect all these people. After all, they didn’t have that many Rank Eight experts.

Kaiser felt sick as this was the plan he had put forward. Now, his plan could be regarded as a half-failure. If Buffy could also kill Meirin, then that was better. Otherwise, his plan would fail completely.

* * * * *

Buffy also felt that things were complicated. After he arrived at Fort Iron Mountain, he found out that there was no one there. He moved to search the surroundings of Iron Mountain, but still wasn’t able to find anyone, which made Buffy feel strange.

Rank Nine experts also had a weakness. That is, whenever they went somewhere, they liked to use their own divine sense1 to survey the place.

Divine sense was a unique ability used by Rank Nine experts, whether they were a warrior or a magician. Once pract.i.tioners reached the Rank Nine, they would gain divine sense. Before reaching Rank Nine, most pract.i.tioners could only achieve spiritual sense2 that could be used to observe and detect something inside their own bodies. A Rank Nine expert warrior could use their divine sense to cover a radius of one kilometer. Rank Nine magicians, however, usually had a stronger spirit than warriors. Their divine sense could cover a radius of up to three kilometers.

Upon Buffy’s arrival at Fort Iron Mountain, he had used his divine sense to investigate Iron Mountain and it had resulted in him not finding anyone. He even went inside Fort Iron Mountain and searched, but he really didn’t find anyone there.

If one were a mercenary, then you could have observed details such as the thickness of dust within Fort Iron Mountain to check if someone had just recently left. Buffy, however, couldn’t use such knowledge for this situation. If you wondered about his lifelong experience of murdering people, everything he knew about the person he was tasked to murder and their detailed information would already be provided. All he had to do was go to their door, kill the person, and then clean it up. This time however, he really didn’t know anything. He just took a glance through Fort Iron Mountain and found there was n.o.body there, so he flew towards Iron Mountain to search there.

He certainly wasn’t like others. As he flew, he searched Iron Mountain bit by bit while using his divine sense. In the end he still found no one as he flew by. Still, he hadn’t flown past the canyon where the corn was planted. Even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to recognize them.

Since Zhao Hai hadn’t been found, Buffy decided to turn and fly back instead of going to the Carrion Swamp to explore. Although Buffy didn’t care about the world, he was still loyal to the Purcell clan. Since he didn’t found Zhao Hai, he planned to return and tell the clan about it.

Even though Zhao Hai knew that Buffy had already left, he didn’t dare go out of the s.p.a.ce. They didn’t know if Buffy was still around Fort Iron Mountain. If Buffy was still there and they went out, then they would be exposed. Therefore, Zhao Hai decided to stay longer within the s.p.a.ce.

Also, Zhao Hai’s food transaction with the Purcell clan hadn’t been stopped and he hadn’t raised the prices. He was very clear that it was not the right time to increase the price. If they increased the price, then Purcell clan would try and retaliate. Though he wasn’t afraid of them, this was not the case for Laura. In order to not get Laura into trouble, they decided to continue their normal trading with the Purcell clan.

Kaiser’s mood wasn’t good as he sat within his office. Papers just lay on the table since he wasn’t in the mood to manage them.

Yesterday, he had planned everything properly. As long as Buffy killed Green with one strike, he could then send Rank Eight experts to the Black Waste and kill Meirin which would then settle this entire matter. He would then gain the support of most of the centrist elders, greatly stabilizing his position as the First Elder.

However, he hadn’t ever thought that Green would actually have an ancient magic tool which he could use to unexpectedly escape. Although he hadn’t heard of anyone using such ancient magic tools, since Buffy said it was so then it should be the truth. He could only hope that Buffy would be able to successfully find Meirin and kill them all. This would likely help him recover from the setback.

Kaiser sat spellbound, looking forward for Buffy to come back quickly to give him the news. This was because he felt that the Second and Third Elders had changed their looks towards him after Green escaped.

Kaiser understood what their gazes meant. The Second and Third Elders were waiting for him to make a mistake. If Buffy wasn’t able to destroy the Buda clan this time, then his good old days would be coming to an end.

With these thoughts, Kaiser couldn’t help but become irritable. He loudly called, “Lani, come here.”

Lani, who was outside, froze for a moment, but still immediately went to Kaiser and bowed. “Great Elder, what are your orders?”

Kaiser looked at Lani’s graceful figure that was hidden within her magic robes. He spoke with eyes full of desire, “Come here.”

Lani hadn’t been following Kaiser for a day of two, so she understood Kaiser’s meaning. Looking at Kaiser’s expression, she knew what he wanted to do. She wasn’t afraid, but instead gave a charming smile back3.

* * * * *

In the eyes of outsiders, on this day, the Purcell clan seemed just normal. However, the people within the clan actually understood that this was just the calm before the storm. Everyone was waiting for Buffy. If Buffy was successful, then there wouldn’t be any big happenings inside the Purcell clan. If Buffy failed, then it would be a huge storm blowing towards the Purcell clan. People there feared that there would be a necessary reshuffling of ranks.

Everyone in the Purcell clan waited for the news, while the other major forces in Casa City also sent messages to the Purcell clan members to inquire about any changes. They were all waiting for Buffy’s news.

Don’t underestimate the power of the other respected and large clans. They had placed spies in the Purcell clan, so as soon as an important matter happened in the Purcell clan, they would know of it and word will spread all over the continent. Even the high officials wouldn’t be spared from this.

This only meant that even if you were in a high position, you wouldn’t have any privacy. Of course, these words were only relative to other high ranking people and it would be impossible for the commoners to know about these matters that involved the senior officials.

Laura was among such forces. Laura now sat in her study, frowning. Nier4 was standing behind her as usual while Quinn John sat opposite of her, also frowning. The three of them didn’t say anything.

After some time, Laura loudly called, “Messenger.”

A servant who stood outside the room immediately came, bowing to Laura and asked, ”What are your orders, Young Lady?”

Laura said, “Are there any new reports about the Purcell clan?”

The servant bowed and said, “There has been no news yet as Buffy still hadn’t returned.”

Laura nodded and the servant bowed while retreating. Turning her head, Laura asked Quinn John, “Grandpa Quinn John, what do you presume the Purcell clan members are thinking? Why did they come up with such a thing this time around? This will affect our plans.”

Quinn John smiled bitterly and said, “What else but the pride of those great n.o.bles as well as the extravagant actions of these aristocrats. The matter between the Purcell clan and the Buda clan is well known throughout the continent. This time, I heard that the head servant of the Buda clan is already a Peak Rank Eight. If someday he breaks through, it will be very troublesome with regards to the Purcell clan. Therefore, they went and looked for an excuse to kill the opposite party, but they hadn’t thought that their opponents would possess an ancient magic tool. This allowing them to escape. If Buffy is successful this time, then all the better. However, if he failed then the Purcell clan would have to live with it. As such, our plans will be affected.“

Laura stood up agitated. “These fellows are really… the Buda clan had already met with misfortune, and now they added insult to injury. They broke the engagement and made it so that they can extinguish them, which created so much trouble. If because of this matter, a civil war starts with the Purcell clan, then along with the issue of grain production, the large firms will certainly mobilise. I fear that food prices won’t be stable for long. ”

Quinn John smiled bitterly. “For now, we can only wait. If Buffy’s operation is successful, then everything is fine. If it is not successful, we have to think of a way. Oh, right. Young Lady, I think we should go and greet Mr. Zhao Hai ahead of time?”

Laura shook her head and said, “We should first wait for the exact news from the Purcell clan. Anyway, no matter what, this issue won’t affect Mr. Zhao Hai.”

Quinn John sighed and said, “I feel sorry for the Buda clan. This time, I fear they won’t be able to escape this difficult situation. After all, Buffy is a Rank Nine expert.”

1 神识 - Shén shí. Shén (神) can mean deity, G.o.d, spirit. Shí (识) can mean knowledge, recognition, understanding. As such, I decided to use 神识 as divine sense since divine knowledge just didn’t work in terms of imagery and wording. ↩

2 If you look up top, 神 can also mean spirit. Since people below Rank Nine can use this as well, but they aren’t termed Deities, it made more sense to convert it to Spiritual Sense. So Deities use Divine Sense while non-deities use Spiritual Sense, yet the words are basically the same… It just depends on who is using it.↩

3 *vomit action* I was expecting it, but… sigh.↩

4 Again, all previous incarnations of Near will be changed to Nier. Thanks to commenter Jinx for bringing up the desire to see that change. I was going for either Nier, or Neer, but Near was fine too.
