Chapter 184: Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu

“There are only three demon monarchs left in Changfeng Prefecture, but many have died to their hands.”

“That Demon Monarch Snake has divine powers. It can spit out poisonous fog. Even Senior Brother Fan Congqi was instantly killed.”

“No G.o.dfiend could withstand a single strike from Demon Monarch Snake.” The G.o.dfiends immediately informed Zhang Yunfeng and Meng Chuan about the enemies. They were afraid of their two famous senior brothers—Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng—being defeated.

“No G.o.dfiend can withstand a single strike?” Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng exchanged glances. “Senior Brother Zhang, there’s something amiss. Although Senior Brother Fan Congqi only cultivated a high-grade G.o.dfiend body, he has also reached the Realm of Dao. Even if we join forces, we won’t be able to kill him in one strike.”

“Is this snake demon’s poisonous fog really that powerful, or is there something else going on here?” Zhang Yunfeng carefully inspected the black fog.

The black fog covered a radius of half a kilometer around the snake demon. It made it very difficult for outsiders to see what was within.

Suddenly, the screams of mortals—coming from inside the black fog—caused Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng’s expressions to change.

“I’ll take action first.” Zhang Yunfeng’s domain instantly enveloped the area. With him as the center, the kilometer-wide white domain trapped the three demon monarchs.

Boom!

The black fog was incomparably tough, but it collapsed under the white domain.

Not good. Demon Monarch Snake was alarmed. The reason why Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu had chosen him was because of how powerful his domain was. It was extremely difficult for Great Solar G.o.dfiends to collapse his domain. Only by relying on his domain could he completely cover up Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu’s a.s.sa.s.sinations and existence.

But now, his domain had actually collapsed?

The white domain enveloped the three demon monarchs. Demon Monarch Snake, Demon Monarch Rhinoceros, and Demon Monarch Mantis were trapped within the white domain; their bodies turned extremely heavy—as if they were squeezed from every direction.

Pfft. The slightly weaker Demon Monarch Mantis couldn’t help but cough out blood due to the domain’s pressure.

“It’s Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng.” Demon Monarch Snake wriggled his body, but he struggled to move. “Zhang Yunfeng specializes in domains. This domain is too powerful.”

“I don’t even have 10% of my strength left.” Demon Monarch Rhinoceros felt the immense pressure as he stood still. He could barely take a step, but this speed was too slow.

“This domain can crush me to death.” Demon Monarch Mantis grew even more anxious. “How can a Great Solar G.o.dfiend have such a powerful domain?”

The intelligence they had on Great Solar G.o.dfiends mentioned little of Zhang Yunfeng. They only knew that he cultivated the Indestructible Divine Body—which was best at domains. They also knew that he could affect fourth Firmament demon monarchs’ strength.

That was all the information they had. Only after experiencing Zhang Yunfeng’s domain personally would one realize how terrifying this domain was.

In fact, this domain halved the strength of a fourth Firmament Skydemon, Blackwater Palace Lord! Even third Firmament elite demon monarchs would be crushed to death if their physical bodies were too weak.

The demon monarch that killed Junior Brother Fan instantly shouldn’t be this weak. With a thought, Zhang Yunfeng condensed nine sword beams within his domain, forming the Nine Absolutes Sword Formation.

The nine sword beams first attacked Demon Monarch Mantis. Having already spat out blood, Demon Monarch Mantis forcefully brandished his saber legs, but the sword beams were too ethereal and unpredictable. They attacked from all directions, forming an array formation. It was very difficult to block them.

“No—” Demon Monarch Mantis wanted to request for help but was unable to do so in time. The sword beams instantly sliced through his body, killing him on the spot. Zhang Yunfeng didn’t show any mercy. This horrified the nearby Demon Monarch Rhinoceros and Demon Monarch Snake.

“Your Majesty, save me!” Demon Monarch Rhinoceros reeled in anxiety.

“Your Majesty, if you don’t do something, we’ll be finished.” Demon Monarch Snake was also anxious, but he didn’t dare expose Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu’s existence. If he exposed Zhuang Fu’s existence and caused their plan to fail, Zhuang Fu would definitely not spare them.

…

Deep underground.

As part of Scorpion Demon Sage’s Zhuang family, Zhuang Fu was very talented when it came to burrowing underground.

What a powerful domain! Zhuang Fu carefully probed the outside world. I can’t use the snake demon’s domain to ambush them. Zhuang Fu moved underground and rapidly approached Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng.

Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng? A delighted look flashed across Zhuang Fu’s face. Very good. Although Zhang Yunfeng is old, he is very strong. After the humans abandon the small- and medium-sized city pa.s.ses, a large number of demon monarchs will enter the human world. Zhang Yunfeng can ma.s.sacre many demon monarchs with his strength. Killing him earlier will be a huge contribution.

As for Meng Chuan, he has a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body—one that appears once every few centuries. He’s already this powerful at such a young age. He has a high chance of becoming a Marquis G.o.dfiend. Killing him would result in more credit than killing Zhang Yunfeng.

After killing the two of them, Archean Mountain will also sense that something is amiss. I need to change locations if I want to continue ambus.h.i.+ng G.o.dfiends.

Zhuang Fu was very pleased. Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng were more important than dozens of average Great Solar G.o.dfiends.

Whoosh.

He rapidly approached Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng. However, traveling underground was slower than traveling aboveground.

Whoosh. After the Nine Absolute sword beams killed Demon Monarch Mantis, they continued flying towards Demon Monarch Rhinoceros.

“Have mercy!” Demon Monarch Rhinoceros’s voice was deep as he begged for mercy. He knew that if Demon Monarch Mantis could be instantly killed, he would also be easily killed.

“I’m willing to submit and bow.” Demon Monarch Rhinoceros wanted to stall for time, giving Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu time for the ambush.

Submit? Zhang Yunfeng sensed Demon Monarch Rhinoceros begging inside his domain. He was only a third Firmament demon monarch and wasn’t capable of flight. He didn’t have divine powers, so he was of zero value.

The nine sword beams did not stop as they flew towards Demon Monarch Rhinoceros.

“Your Majesty! Help me!” Demon Monarch Rhinoceros took the initiative to cry out when facing death. He kept requesting help through his ident.i.ty token, but Zhuang Fu didn’t come at all. Demon Monarch Rhinoceros burned with anxiety!

As for keeping Zhuang Fu’s existence a secret? Why would he bother keeping the greater demon monarch’s existence a secret when he was about to die?

If you don’t show yourself, I’ll force you to appear! Therefore, Demon Monarch Rhinoceros frantically shouted, “Your Majesty, save me!”

This cry really allowed him to live a little longer.

The nine sword beams came to a halt.

Zhang Yunfeng was the first to hear Demon Monarch Rhinoceros’s cries through the domain. Meng Chuan heard it a little later; this was because the voice needed to travel half a kilometer before reaching him.

“Your Majesty? Help?” Zhang Yunfeng’s expression changed as he hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Meng Chuan: “Run!!!”

Run? Seeing Senior Brother Zhang’s anxious expression, Meng Chuan didn’t even think before acting. He instinctively grabbed Zhang Yunfeng and leaped away in a bolt of lightning.

After he jumped up, a phantom drilled out from underground and stabbed at Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng. However, being extremely fast, the duo had already moved far away.

d.a.m.n it. Zhuang Fu gritted his teeth in anger as he unburrowed himself. He glared venomously at Demon Monarch Rhinoceros in the distance. His speed when traveling underground was slower than moving aboveground, which was why he barely reached the duo before Demon Monarch Rhinoceros exposed him.

He was just short of killing the two G.o.dfiends! He was short by a little!

The distant Demon Monarch Rhinoceros didn’t care. Any later and he would have died. As for failing to a.s.sa.s.sinate the G.o.dfiends? It wasn’t as important as his life.

“Let’s leave quickly. These two G.o.dfiends are extremely powerful,” said Demon Monarch Rhinoceros via voice transmission.

“Yes.” Demon Monarch Snake was afraid as well.

After escaping, I’ll pledge allegiance to others. The humans will abandon all small and medium-sized city pa.s.ses soon. A large number of demon monarchs will enter the human world. As long as I avoid Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu, I’ll be able to live an abject life. The only thought in Demon Monarch Rhinoceros’s mind was about his survival.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft…

However, the nine swords that had been hovering in midair suddenly flew over.

Demon Monarch Rhinoceros was alarmed, but he was unable to block the nine exquisite sword beams. The sword beams quickly pierced his body, boring a gaping hole in his head. His ma.s.sive body collapsed to the ground.

To Zhang Yunfeng, killing Demon Monarch Rhinoceros was a breeze.

The nine sword beams continued their attack as they flew towards Demon Monarch Snake.

Fool. Zhuang Fu looked at Demon Monarch Rhinoceros’s corpse and then at Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng—who were both standing on a damaged roof.

A fourth Firmament demon monarch. Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng looked at Zhuang Fu solemnly.

Chapter 953: Time Blade

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

On the road to Jasper Lake, the void creeped. The Wizard King of this World was carrying two transparent short blades which suddenly appeared after Mister Luda. He waved the blades towards Luda. Anything that blocked its way all broke down including Luda’s guard of Gengjin.

A long sword appeared suddenly in front of the transparent blade. Mister Luda placed his sword here, waiting for the Wizard’s attack.

Long sword and short blades clashed without a sound or flow of air. The blades broken into pieces like a dream.

Pu! Meanwhile, not far away from the sword blade, Mister Luda’s guard of Gengjin suddenly broke down to powder. Two transparent short blades appeared in it.

How come Mister Luda at his current level and realm could mistakenly judge the position of the blades?

Luda’s eyes became more focused and the sword lights suddenly divided into 129,600 bands of lights and united a Formation in the group of three, six, seven, nine, and twelve. Many small Formations consisted of an even more powerful one, covering all over the place.

The sword airflow and lights ran across and swallowed those two short blades before they touched Luda’s indestructible body of Gengjin. All he could do now was to protect himself.

Outside of the Formation, the void creeped. A transparent figure walked through quickly. He appeared sometimes and then soon disappeared. Mister Luda felt great pressure as he did not know when would be a good time for him to attack.

The Wizard King of this World stared at the sword Formation closely and calmly. He was waiting for its exposure of weak points.

He finally had the chance to fight with Mister Luda who was now the same level as he was.

The void could be used not only to hide or block enemies, dividing s.p.a.ces, destroying guards, but also to twist eyesight, listening, and spirit. It could influence the judgement of one’s perception to danger and lead them to make mistakes. Even if someone thrust a blade into their heart, one could still feel nothing.

Combined with sharp metal power in Jasper Lake, the illusions out of twisted perceptions could easily attack any powerful man. Reality and illusion mixed together. One could only defend himself as much as possible but how long could one continue to keep this strong defense?

This was what he called a favorable geographical position.

This was the proof of the Wizard King of this World’s fake reputation!

Sword lights surrounded Mister Luda. He sometimes attacked and sometimes defended himself but failed to hit the Wizard King.

He was good at it.

…

The Demon of Disillusionment knew that something was going to happen at Jade Emperor Mountain. He dared not delay another moment and left the place.

Han Guang walked towards Jie Bin Pond and transformed to a grey-ish black hair Taoist, Shou Jie who was a Supreme Elder of Xuan Tian Sect with an airy and buoyant bearing.

Disciples guarding the place gave a formal salute to him and greeted. Jade Emperor Mountain was peaceful. Mountain-guarding formation was only activated by small parts.

Han Guang smiled and said, “I have to take care of something so I come back in advance. Is the head in an Isolated Practice now?”

The current head of the Xuan Tian Sect was Xu Taoist, the most outstanding disciple of Shou Character generation. He grew up at Jade Emperor Mountain and got the Zhou character at his One-Year-Old Catch. After he joined the Xuan Tian Sect, he was in the Xu character group. Therefore his Taoist name was Xu Zhong, but people usually called him a Xu Taoist. He was now only 60 years old but already achieved the highest level of the Exterior Realm and surpa.s.sed his Sect uncles Shou Zhou and Shou Jie.

“Head finished Isolated Practice a few days ago and is now dealing with daily duties,” the guard replied politely.

Celestial Ruler Orthodoxy valued manner the most among three Taoist Sect.

“Good to know,” Han Guang nodded and walked inside casually, without any nervous feelings.

He had been doing such things for many times.

Han Guang stopped when going close to Celestial Ruler hall. He felt hidden danger. Core formation was activated secretly. Without head’s order, anyone who went inside would be killed instantly.

Since Han Guang was found hiding in Shao Lin last time, all sects and families grew more cautious towards security. Though the complete mountain-guarding formation was not activated, the core areas was improved with the help of Heavenly Weapons.

Han Guang smiled and bowed to the Celestial Ruler hall. His palm quivered and pulled the outer-layer of the Formation. Everything surrounding it turned to water wave.

Han Guang shouted clearly,

“I need to ask you something.”

The voice went across a long distance and went inside the hall. After a few seconds the Formation changed and a water curtain appeared in front of Han Guang, reflecting the scene in the quiet room of the back hall.

A dignified and sacred Celestial Ruler statue stood in the center with his eyes looking in front as if he’s looking at the whole world and judging right from wrong.

On the table in front of the statue placed a green box made of divine jade. One could see vaguely the cla.s.sic blade inside it.

A few cattail ha.s.socks were placed in front of the table. A black-haired Taoist sat down on the ha.s.sock with his back facing the green jade box, and his face facing Han Guang.

The man had a typical gentle and quiet Taoist manner, different from the dignified hall.

He opened his clear eyes, which looked like two rippling ponds:

“Uncle Shou Jie, what do you want to…”

Before he finished his sentence, Xu Taoist’s eyes became clouded:

“No! Who are you!”

A golden swastika appeared between Han Guang’s eyebrows. His right hand shone with lights of water and suddenly thrust forward.

Heavenly animals’ scream disappeared together with the colors of flowers and gra.s.s. There were only black and white colors between Heaven and Earth. Han Guang saw through the Formation and found out minor weak point of it. Flowing water seemed to be blocked by dams and the water level continued to rise.

Han Guang infused the voice to Divine Sense and let it go through the picture. It flew right into the back hall towards green jade box and then shook around Time Blade:

“Heavenly Court fell over. Nine Levels of Heaven are broken. But the era has not ended yet. Do you know why?”

“Because the Celestial Ruler did not want to end his life just like that. Right before his death, he merged his own Dharmakaya, Tian Dao Seal, and Sky Palace together and made this Time Blade. He let you inherit his obsessiveness and then have you become his special heir.”

“The Celestial Ruler did not die completely and his obsessiveness still exists in this world. If you continue to live, this era will never end.”

“Are you satisfied hiding yourself all the time?”

“Do you want to be controlled by those mediocre people?”

“Do you want all the obsessiveness turned to dream bubbles?”

Han Guang said every word loud and clear, shaking the jade box. He cared not a bit about Xu Taoist mustering gurus and getting prepared for activating Formation.

“Even if you are not happy with the current situation, would they give you that chance? Did you see how the Hao Tian Mirror ended up like?”

Han Guang stared at the green jade box full of expectation.

Inside the box, cla.s.sic blade hid its light without a bit change, as if what Han Guang said was of no concern to it.

What… Han Guang kept staring at it.

…

On the road to Jasper Lake, the Formation suddenly shrunk to a pure sword light and thrust to the void faraway.

Bang!

A rattle sound rang up. A transparent figure stepped out of the void. He stared at his hands and the long sword that just defended him from the Heavenly Weapon’s attack unbelievably.

“You, how did you find out about me?” the Wizard King of this World looked at Mister Luda surprisingly. He did not even think about fighting back.

Just a few breaths and the Art of Void Travelling that he took pride in was seen through by Mister Luda?

He was quite sure that he left no clues.

Mister Luda looked at him and said simply,

“Your heart is not peaceful.”

Unpeaceful minds leave trails. Luda could definitely sense the existence of it.

“So I see…” the Wizard King of this World laughed bitterly, “The Single Hearted Sword. I failed on heart.”

Suddenly his figure collapsed as if it was absorbed in Jasper Lake. Only his voice lingered on:

“If you continue to grow, you will achieve legend sooner or later.”

“But you are destined to die today at Jasper Lake. What a shame.”

…

In another world, Heaven and Earth reversed in time. Han Guang this time avoided meeting Su Wuming carefully and went close to Jasper Lake water.

…

Bang!

Killing Blood Sword tarnished and fell on the metal ground. The Rakshasa of the b.l.o.o.d.y Sea’s scream lingered on in the air but grew weaker. Without any blood, only Gengjin and gold fell down piece by piece.

Meng Qi put the Killing Blood Sword into his huge sleeve and looked at the Core Fragment of the Hao Tian Mirror.

The biggest danger and challenge for him right now was to take the core fragment.

Suddenly the fragment jumped slightly and cast itself into the center of Jasper Lake. A world that was hidden before appeared.

A world of mirage, of palaces and tower buildings. It was the Golden Emperor Queen Mother of the West’s place!

Meng Qi suddenly saw a white figure, airy and buoyant standing quietly between the pavilions, like an everlasting statue.

A figure seemed so familiar even after ten years!

She had been in Jasper Lake before?

Chapter 352: The Purpose

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

“Primogenitor Devil?” Qi Zhengyan frowned, feeling an inexplicable fear of Primogenitor Devil who was equivalent to the reincarnation of the Demonworld Fragment.

Initially puzzled, Jiang Zhiwei nodded thoughtfully. “I’m afraid that the normal Exterior experts can’t surpa.s.s Primogenitor Devil even if it doesn’t revive completely. But it’ll be tough if Primogenitor Devil is the task of the Myths or the Immortals.”

Zhao Heng wore a grave expression. “Buddhist Monk Jiuzhen is probably on the Dharmakaya level. That is, Primogenitor Devil was better than that in his prime. Thus, even if he can’t completely revive due to his serious injuries caused by that one blow of Nirvana, I fear that his strength is close to that of a Great Master. There’s at least one Peerless Master Pro joining the Myths or the Immortals, so we must be careful.”

In consideration of this, Zhao Heng and the rest tried to maintain as low a profile as possible. They didn’t want to take part in the side task, lest they died without a burial place. Although Thunder G.o.d from the Ninth Heaven was only the Second and Third Heaven of the Exterior at the beginning, he had destroyed the whole team. Zhao Heng was the only one who had narrowly escaped death, never mind the experienced person with Peerless Master Pro level.

“We may not escape…” Ruan Yushu said coldly.

“Exactly.” Meng Qi nodded. “They’ll certainly go deep into the Demonworld Fragment if their task is to wipe out Primogenitor Devil. In other words, they have to resort to the pa.s.sage of Demonic World in the Skysc.r.a.ping Palace to prevent others from destroying the Demonworld Fragment. Otherwise, the task will fail in advance. If so, the hard part of our task is to control the time. If we’re early and they’ll have yet to enter the Demonic World. If we’re late, then we’ll be closer to our deadline.”

“No, I think the task has gotten very strange.” Jiang Zhiwei pressed her lips together, denying Meng Qi’s speculation. “If I were them, I wouldn’t guard the pa.s.sage on purpose unless I have an abundant manpower. I’d exterminate the rest of the devils while Skysc.r.a.ping True Devil goes out. Then the Demonic Crystal would be in my hands and no one would be able to destroy it.”

“For us, we can go deep into the Demonic World to seek other strong evil spirits and kill them. Otherwise, we have to collect items to finish the side task and save up enough Karma point for deduction.”

In fact, Meng Qi and his friends couldn’t be obliterated due to short of Karma points if they returned now. Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms would first convert their weapons, elixir, and other items into points for deduction. But the conversion would be cheap in this case and everything that Meng Qi owned was estimated to be worth 1,000 points at most.

Meng Qi sucked in a breath after listening to Jiang Zhiwei’s a.s.sumptions. If the opponent was tyrannical with strength and the task was correct, it was likely that they would have to take action this way!

Jiang Zhiwei acted in the same manner in which she wielded her sword, aggressive and direct. When it came to deducing the moves of a strong master, her predictions were more accurate than others.

“Usually, if Samsara travelers of two teams aren’t in direct compet.i.tion, their tasks shouldn’t be conflicting. It’ll directly increase the difficulty of our tasks…” Zhao Heng was confused.

Meng Qi smiled bitterly. “Perhaps it was thanks to them that we managed to kill the three devils. Otherwise, why would they be seeking the Fate-protecting Triratna out of nowhere? If Seven Great Demons live in the Skysc.r.a.ping Palace or guard each place, it is limited for us to choose the object due to the time limitation. We might have to fight Skysc.r.a.ping True Devil recklessly. There are pros and cons.”

“We should hurry to the Skysc.r.a.ping Palace first and enter the Demonic World directly. If the rest of devils are not there, we can kill other strong evil spirits. I hope we can leave before Primogenitor Devil revives.”

They just had to kill three more evil spirits. It should be relatively quicker!

“This is the only way we can do it and we can only expect failure if it doesn’t work.” Zhao Heng once again displayed an air of a rich family’s son, something that Meng Qi couldn’t stand.

Suddenly, they heard a wispy woman’s voice. “You still have another choice.”

Someone managed to conceal herself and got close to them?

A startled Meng Qi forcibly steadied his state of mind. Tilting his head on one side, he only saw a lady in green dress coming up slowly from the fringe of the woods. She wore a mask. It seemed that her temperament wasn’t only as delicate as running water and flame, but also as calm as lofty mountains and huge trees.

The mask had the face of a delicate and clever woman painted against a red backdrop. There was a bluish sand on the mid-brows.

“Bluecloud Progenitor?” Zhao Heng murmured.

This mask could be seen in many plays. It belonged to Bluecloud Progenitor, the famous sect G.o.ddess!

Was this woman from the Immortals? Meng Qi made eye contact with Jiang Zhiwei and his friends.

The lady stopped about ten feet away from Meng Qi and the others, not approaching them rashly as not to make them uneasy. Her breathing was a little unstable as if she was seriously injured.

“I’m Bluecloud Progenitor from the Immortals,” she said.

“Why have you come here?” Meng Qi asked, thinking to himself. Could it be that she was the one who took the Fate-protecting Tripod?

Was it possible that she followed them all the way here from the ruins of the Evergreen Temple?

What on earth was her purpose since she had obviously achieved the strength of the Exterior?

“Except for going deep into the Demonic World, cooperating with us is your other choice,” Bluecloud Progenitor said at a pace that was neither too fast nor too slow. “It was the Matriarch of the West of the Myths who took the Fate-protecting Tripod in the Evergreen Temple.”

Why were the Myths involved again? Meng Qi frowned. Was it their confrontational mission?

Bluecloud Progenitor continued, “Star of Northern Dipper was also there and hurt me. If they didn’t consider that I might be coveting it, the two of them would likely kill all of you. For them, the fewer the variables, the better.”

Meng Qi didn’t expect that they would be put in such dangerous circ.u.mstances. He increasingly found the task strange. They had not taken any action but had been confronted with death so many times. Their main task had also become more difficult…

“Is killing Primogenitor Devil their task?” Meng Qi asked, aiming straight at the heart of the problem.

It was certainly true that Bluecloud Progenitor had followed them from the ruins. Her hiding technique was of such high level!

“To be exact, it was our task, but they discovered some information and forcibly gathered several members to break in with the Samsara talisman. They fought for the Fate-protecting Triratna with us to go deep into the Demonic World and suppress Primogenitor Devil,” Bluecloud Progenitor explained briefly.

“What kind of information?” Zhao Heng asked with concern.

In the World of Samsara, information was always valuable. It could even save people from hopeless situations.

Instead of answering, Bluecloud Progenitor said, “Xi, Star of Northern Dipper, Military Star, and Matriarch of the West have joined the Myths. They’re truly experienced specialists, except for the newcomer Matriarch of the West. Xi is especially close to the level of a Great Master.”

Xi was the name of a certain ancient emperor and it had been pa.s.sed down to now.

“Our members include me, Primogenitor Guangcheng, and Yun Zhongzi. Since I’m not as good as them, I want to cooperate with you.” She introduced the comparison of the strength between both sides.

Primogenitor Guangcheng, also called Guang Chengzi, was one of the nine sect primogenitors. Meng Qi had long since heard about him, so he wasn’t surprised. However, there hadn’t been any records of the Immortals about Yun Zhongzi. He had only seen it in a certain cla.s.sical novel in his previous lifetime.

He asked calmly, “I hear that the Immortals are named after ancient immortals, but why haven’t I heard about Yun Zhongzi?”

He noticed the response of his companions. They nodded, showing that they hadn’t heard about the person.

Bluecloud Progenitor replied coolly, “There are countless ancient immortals. How can people know each one of them?”

Meng Qi was inwardly stunned to hear such a perfunctory answer, not knowing if it was surprise or shock. Was it possible that there was an apotheosized world?

Was there a Yang Erlang? A Sky-reaching Eminentor?

Then there wouldn’t be any need to talk about Heavenly Primogenitor. He was one of the top three sect nine-primogenitors of the main world, which included Heavenly Primogenitor, Morals Primogenitor, and Primogenitor Lingbao.

“I see,” Meng Qi said. “How you would like to cooperate with us? What on earth are the Myths forcibly breaking in for? It won’t be good for our cooperation if you keep it a secret.”

Bluecloud Progenitor coughed a little. Evidently, she hadn’t recovered from her injuries. “If the information hadn’t come so suddenly, it wouldn’t be just the three of us. As for the reason why the Myths are entangled with four full members, it’s of grave importance. Would you please swear the Soul-pledging Oath not to disclose the information?”

She didn’t worry that Meng Qi and his friends would gain great benefit from it since their strength determined that they couldn’t take part in the core issue.

Meng Qi and his friends communicated with each other for a while, thinking that the condition was acceptable. So they all swore the Soul-pledging Oath.

“Due to the intrusion of the Myths, the difficulty of your main task is changing. And if there are only our members staying there, we’ll leave the Demonic Crystal behind before entering the Demonic World as long as you’re willing to wait.” Bluecloud Progenitor said something redundant, making Meng Qi and his fellows share bitter hatred against the enemy with themselves. They didn’t expect to leave normally after entering the Demonic World. “The reason why they invested the capital to break in is that they wanted to get the information on Buddhist Monk Jiuzhen.”

Meng Qi and the rest held their breath. The purpose of the Myths in forcibly gathering members and using four Samsara talisman couldn’t be simple!

“If we have enough time, Patriarch of the East, c.r.a.pe Myrtle Star, and the other Great Masters of the Myths, as well as the mysterious Heaven Sovereign will rush over for this information.” Bluecloud Progenitor stimulated their desires again.

Patriarch of the East wouldn’t be coming since he was dead… Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei exchanged glances, making an unspoken comment.

Bluecloud Progenitor’s voice became grave. “Buddhist Monk Jiuzhen had once met an adventure and grasped the greatest Zen art. He had claimed the Dharmakaya by it. Later, he went deep into the Demonic World with the items he gained from the adventure to suppress Primogenitor Devil and then pa.s.sed away inside.”

This, they knew… Meng Qi’s interest was piqued and became upset with Bluecloud Progenitor because she didn’t finish the story in one breath.

“Based on the information, it should be…” Bluecloud Progenitor paused, her voice getting faint. Her voice simply danced in the air, not traveling anywhere.

“The first form of the Buddha’s Palm!”

State Duke Lu knew that the relations.h.i.+p between Jing Jiu and the Emperor was very close, beyond anything he could have imagined.

Back when Jing Jiu entered the royal palace and met the Emperor, it was the following day when the Emperor ordered that medication for Royal Concubine Hu be stopped, and Jing Xin was to lose the t.i.tle of Prince.

That event shocked State Duke Lu.

Who would have known that the Green Mountain Sect had such strong influence on the Royal Palace, and had hidden its weight so well?!

However, the Center Sect was the largest sect in the world. Though their strength in the south was not as strong as that of Green Mountain, their resources in Zhaoge City were evidently superior to Green Mountain's.

Moreover, the One-Cottage House expressed a stout att.i.tude…

The Emperor was the ruler of the world, and he sought a one-thousand-year peace; as such, he had to take the ideas of the majority into consideration. He couldn't just make decisions without consulting with others.

State Duke Lu had said it purposefully because he was worried that Jing Jiu would have a grudge against the Emperor on the matter.

But he hadn't expected that Jing Jiu wouldn't even respond to it and ask directly to see the little prince; what was the meaning of this meeting then?

It was late at night and very quiet in the Royal Palace. State Duke Lu led Jing Jiu to the front of the Royal Concubine Hu's palace. And he used a certain method to have informed the people in the palace.

The light was not on and the palace was as quiet as before. An old maidservant led them in through a side door secretly.

State Duke Lu halted his steps in front of the hall and lowered his head as he took a look at his own shadow.

He wasn't sure whether he should listen to their conversation or not; since Jing Jiu didn't ask him to listen in, it was better he heard as little as possible.

Royal Concubine Hu sat on the bed with one leg bent, her black hair dropping down on her shoulder like a waterfall. Her dress was full of creases, and her untied collar exposed a corner of her snow white breast.

She had been asleep and was awoken by her servant. Her plump body seemed to exude a hint of warm air from the quilt. Her bad mood was understandable

"Your Green Mountain Sect always likes to come at late night to talk about things; don't you fear gossip?"

She said this with a slightly annoyed tone while looking at Jing Jiu. And yet, she also looked charming, and her sleepy appearance and seductive demeanor made her even more attractive.

Jing Jiu looked at her silently, as if he was looking at a painting. He seemed to be enjoying said painting, yet also looked as if he wasn't paying much attention to it.

Royal Concubine Hu stopped talking and stared back at Jing Jiu, her eyes showing calmness in their depths

She had become a lot more mature over the years.

The danger and pressure from the outside, especially the potential harm her to her offspring, were the best way to make a mother mature fast.

The plum flowers would blossom only when being a.s.saulted by the wind and frost.

Royal Concubine Mei, who had been favored by the Emperor, had already been driven out of the palace by her a long time ago.

It was Royal Concubine Hu who had broken the silence, because it was she who had the need for help.

"The Peak Master Zhao promised to help me."

She said to Jing Jiu seriously, "You can't help me by sending some preserved meats every year."

She was serious because she was anxious, and she was anxious because she was afraid.

The Emperor had treated her very well over the last few years, but the force behind Jing Xin was simply too powerful.

Even though she was a vixen who was good at alluring humans, she somehow still couldn't turn those powerful people in the Cultivation circle into her supporters.

She used her limited intelligence to think about this matter; and the more she thought about it, the more despair she felt.

Shenmo Peak was merely one of the nine peaks on the Green Mountain. Though they had the inheritance of the Immortal Jing Yang, the people on Shenmo Peak were all young, and their Cultivation states and qualifications were not so good.

How could they withstand the pressure from the Center Sect and the One-Cottage House?

If Jing Xin had become the Emperor a few decades from now, what would she and her son do then?

Jing Jiu didn't answer her question, saying, "I'd like to see the child."

Royal Concubine Hu hesitated at first, but she, after some thought, asked the old maidservant to bring her child out.

Not long after Jing Jiu had returned from the snowland, Royal Concubine Hu was pregnant for a few years before finally giving birth to a prince.

Though it sounded odd, these two events were indeed connected.

Seeing this child who had a connection with himself, Jing Jiu let out a faint smile.

"His name is Jing Yao."

Somehow, Royal Concubine Hu felt nervous, which was the same feeling as when she was selected for the Royal Palace.

Jing Jiu commented, "It's a pretty good name."

Yao meant "height".

The little prince Jing Yao had just woken up and still felt drowsy, rubbing his slightly red eyes. He sat by Royal Concubine Hu, trying his best to put up with the sleepiness. He looked quite lovely.

Jing Jiu recalled the scene where he first met his "nephew", and asked, "Do you want a hug?"

The little prince looked at his face with wide eyes and then nodded, opening his arms.

Jing Jiu of course wouldn't hug him. He hadn't hugged anyone or anything except Liu Ada.

The little prince glanced at Royal Concubine Hu and found his mother didn't have any reaction, so he pulled back his arms and lowered his head unpleasantly.

Jing Jiu didn't pay attention to his reaction, asking, "What do you like?"

At this moment Royal Concubine Hu was certain that Jing Jiu was examining her son, so she became even more nervous; but she couldn't say anything.

The little prince thought about it carefully, and then said in a childish voice, "Yellow sugar pie."

Royal Concubine Hu felt a bit embarra.s.sed, and she explained that the maidservants made some of those pies in the back kitchen during New Year's Day, and that somehow this little fellow found them, stole a few pieces, and ate them.

"That was the only occasion. Usually, I don't allow him to eat too much sugar. I heard that eating sugar is not good for Cultivation."

Jing Jiu thought that eating sugar had nothing to do with Cultivation and wouldn't affect it whatsoever. "Let him eat whatever he wants to; there is the honesty," Jing Jiu said. "He can steal something to eat at such a young age; this is the wisdom. He told me on his own to prevent me from getting upset after finding it out; this is thoughtfulness. His temperament is quite like his father's. You have done a good job of teaching him, so you are not bad."

Hearing the comments, Royal Concubine Hu couldn't help but feel ecstatic. She asked the old maidservant to bring the little prince back to his room and then waited for what Jing Jiu had to say next.

As expected, Jing Jiu asked straightforwardly, "Are you willing to let him be a disciple of our Green Mountain?"

Royal Concubine Hu had been guessing Jing Jiu's intention, and she had come up with many conjectures. There was no way for her to refuse the suggestion.

Jing Jiu was the youngest elder at the Green Mountain Sect, a celebrity in the Cultivation circle, and also the personal disciple of the Immortal Jing Yang.

He was perfect in terms of the generation, fame, and inheritance.

Who wouldn't want to have such a Master?

Seeing Royal Concubine Hu's expression, Jing Jiu knew that she had misunderstood his intention. "It's not me," he said.

It would be inappropriate for him to be the little prince's Master due to the consideration of generations..

Royal Concubine Hu was taken aback, and then commented sullenly, "Would the Peak Master Zhao's temperament be a bit too cold?"

She thought that it would naturally be Zhao Layue if it wasn't Jing Jiu, but she didn't know that Zhao Layue wasn't appropriate to be the Master either due to, again, the generation issue.

Jing Jiu said, "I have chosen Gu Qing as his Master. Gu Qing is reliable, thoughtful, and elegant, and I believe he will be able to communicate with Jing Yao well."

Royal Concubine Hu of course knew who Gu Qing was.

The Gu Family was a large clan in the south, and they had been supporting her secretly in her arrangements in the imperial court.

Most of all, she couldn't forget the young man who didn't even want to have a look at her in the hall back when they first met.

He also said something very unpleasant to her.

If the Master was that man…she would not be pleased.

As Royal Concubine Hu was about to decline the suggestion, she saw Jing Jiu's face and suddenly felt that she would miss many opportunities if she refused it.

After a moment of silence, she said, "Okay."

After returning to the Jing House, Jing Jiu wrote a letter to Green Mountain.

The letter was for Gu Qing, and in it, he briefly described what the issue was.

Teaching the prince might affect his Cultivation a bit, but it would take merely a few years, so it wasn't a serious delay.

Jing Jiu handed the letter to State Duke Lu, and said, "When Gu Qing arrives, you take him to the Royal Palace directly, and ask him to study the books with Jing Yao for two years."

State Duke Lu felt this letter was as heavy as a mountain.

The news that Gu Qing had become the Master of the little prince would spread all over the land in the shortest time.

Was this the "drawing of the sword" by the Green Mountain?

State Duke Lu recalled what Jing Jiu had said, wondering why Jing Jiu didn't make the arrangement himself since such important matter must have the obtained the consent from the Emperor.

Jing Jiu knew what was on his mind, saying, "I have some more important things to take care of."

"What do you need me to do?" asked State Duke Lu.

Jing Jiu said, "Actually, you are the only one who can help me with this matter…"

State Duke Lu suddenly had a foreboding feeling.

"I need to go to Taichang Temple," said Jing Jiu.

GOR Chapter 607 Part 2 Tian Lie’s Request

Tian Lie looked down and saw whiteness beneath his feet. The white floor spread out to the horizon.

The punk youngster was standing beside him while the red-haired woman from earlier was sitting cross-legged within the s.p.a.ce.

“As expected, you weren’t watching what is going on outside. I believe you do not know what this kid said to me just now.”

The red-haired woman ignored the punk youngster, choosing not to turn around at all. It would appear that she was sulking.

“Ignoring me?” The punk youngster smiled and shrugged. He turned to look at Tian Lie before turning his attention back to the red-haired woman. “It seems you have no interest at all in Zero City’s disappearance.”

“What?”

The red-haired woman had been seated cross-legged some distance away. However, without making any move, she suddenly appeared before the punk youngster.

“Come again? Zero City disappeared?”

“I am not the one who said it. He was the one who told me about it.” The punk youngster shrugged once more and pointed at Tian Lie.

The red-haired woman regarded Tian Lie in a hesitant manner. “You say Zero City has disappeared… … just what has happened?”

“To be exact, Zero City did not disappear, it has fallen,” said Tian Lie calmly.

“Nonsense!” The red-haired woman scoffed. “You don’t even know what Zero City is! That is an independent system! Within Zero City, the main control system possesses an authority equivalent to that of the system’s GM! How could it become compromised? It is impossible for the system’s Electronic Guardians to even find its entrance point!”

Tian Lie spread open his hands. He did not say anything. Instead, he calmly looked at the red-haired woman.

“Enough, I believe there is no need for us to question that now.” The punk youngster sighed and continued, “Let him finish first.”

After saying that, the punk youngster turned toward Tian Lie and said, “Tell us what you know, all of it, no matter how minor it may seem.”

Tian Lie revealed a wry smile and shook his head. “Due to certain reasons, I do not know much. Only two things are certain – Zero City has fallen and Thorned Flower Guild has split due to Shen’s disappearance.”

“You are certain that Shen’s disappearance is related to Zero City’s fall?”

Tian Lie shook his head. “No. However, I managed to make contact with several Awakened members of Thorned Flower Guild. According to them, Shen was last seen leading the Player members of the guild to complete a system quest: The siege of Zero City. After that, he was never seen again.”

“By a.s.sembling every Player… add the system’s Electronic Guardians in, strength wise, taking down Zero City does not seem like an impossibility. Besides, the one leading them is Shen…” The punk youngster mumbled to himself. “However, the location of the entrance to Zero City is ever changing. Additionally, there is also the internal defensive mechanism. How could the system issue out a Player quest with Zero City’s entrance location?”

“I am not sure about that. I can only be certain that Zero City was indeed attacked. The other combatants who had followed Shen in were all teleported out of Zero City – those that were not killed in combat anyways.”

“Those who attacked Zero City were teleported out… …” The punk youngster pondered the matter. “If so, what about the people within Zero City?”

“Who knows?” Tian Lie shrugged. “All of Zero City’s contact personnel within the outside world are unable to contact their superior. However, I think… … it is unlikely that all of them had died.”

“It really is… … interesting.” The punk youngster turned to look at the red-haired woman, who had remained silent all this time. “I believe you feel the same.”

The red-haired woman sent a glance at the punk youngster and said, “It seems that Shen is trapped in Zero City.”

The punk youngster nodded in a.s.sent. “That is the only possibility. The only question is… … who could possess the ability to trap him within Zero City. Could it be…”

Before he could finish his words, the red-haired woman shook her head. “You mean that San? Impossible. He had once vowed never to interfere in matters related to Zero City anymore. Besides… to trap Shen? Since neither of us can do it, he will be no different.”

“That is true… I am growing even more intrigued now.” The punk youngster smiled. “You see, such an interesting incident is a rare occurrence. It won’t do to miss this situation with Shen.” 

The red-haired woman nodded her head and said lackadaisically, “Makes sense.”

A look of joy suddenly appeared on the punk youngster’s face. “Good. When do we set off?”

“We?” The red-haired woman abruptly rolled her eyes and said, “All I said was, your words made sense. When did I say I will be going with you? It doesn’t matter if you just want to join in the fun, or if you want to save Shen; if you want to go, just go. What does that have to do with me?”

The punk youngster’s throat froze and he grew speechless as he stared at the red-haired woman. After a long time, he sighed and shook his head. “Fine, you win. I will stay behind and accompany you in this game of attrition. Let’s see who will win.”

After saying that, the punk youngster turned to Tian Lie and spread his hands. “Negotiation failed. It seems Shen will have to fend for himself.”

Tian Lie frowned as the punk youngster turned away. Stunned, he said, “You do not want to save Shen?”

The punk youngster turned to look at Tian Lie. Giving him a rueful smile, he said, “It is not that I do not want to. Rather, I cannot. If she doesn’t leave, I have no way of leaving as well.”

Tian Lie shook his head. “I do not understand.”

The punk youngster turned to give the red-haired woman a glance, the same rueful smile on his face. “This woman… … back then, we had obtained the authority to this instance dungeon together. I believe you have already witnessed just how much control the two of us possess within this instance dungeon.”

“Within this instance dungeon…” Tian Lie considered. “You two are omnipotent, practically like the system itself.”

“Correct.” The punk youngster nodded. “However, there is a problem. Back then, due to certain reasons, the two of us obtained this instance dungeon and equally split the authority here. The two of us feel… feel very resentful. I mean, really, really, resentful!

“You might be thinking that the relations.h.i.+p between us two is pretty good, right? Wrong. A long, long time ago, we were indeed friends. It was not just us two, there was also Shen and… … several other bizarre weirdoes. However, due to certain circ.u.mstances, we all went our separate ways. Some of us remain friends, some became like strangers, some felt disgusted at some others, some… mm, want to kill each other as soon as they meet.”

“You two…” Tian Lie looked at the red-haired woman.

“Mm… me and her, we haven’t exactly gotten to the point where we would want to kill each other. However, be it me or her, neither one of us wants to live with the other in this instance dungeon. Even more importantly, however, neither of us wants to share the authority over this instance dungeon with the other.

“Throughout the many years, we have come to know everything about this instance dungeon. The instant one of us leaves this instance dungeon, the remaining one will be able to quickly seize the other half’s authority over this instance dungeon, kicking the other one out completely. Thus…”

The punk youngster sighed. “For so many years, the two of us have been restraining each other, staying within this instance dungeon and having the other trapped inside like within a prison.”

Tian Lie looked at the punk youngster before turning to look at the red-haired woman, who gave off a frosty atmosphere. He smiled wryly and said, “When you put it that way, you really have no way of following me out to save Shen.”

“Although I do owe Shen quite the favour… … it is not to the point where I can give up this instance dungeon.” The punk youngster spread his hands and said, “However… … if you really want to help him, I am not completely without a solution.”

“What solution?”

“You go!”

GOR Chapter 192 Part 2: Sequence of Murder

“… would you let me go after I answer your questions? And… give me that… money?”

Chen Xiaolian did not answer her questions. Instead, he asked her, “What is your name?”

“Mary Ann Nichols… err, actually, my name is Mary Ann Walker. Walker is my maiden name. However, after coming to London, I changed it. I did it because… being called Nichols give some people the feeling that I am of Russian descent… some of the customers like that,” Polly answered obediently. “However, my friends all call me Polly.”

“Well then, how old are you?”

“Thirty-three…” she said, an obvious look of guilt appearing on her face. “Err, I am thirty-eight years old.”

Chen Xiaolian smiled without saying anything. He simply continued gazing at her.

Polly was unable to get used to the stare and she stuttered, “All right, I am forty years old…”

“I hope you can tell me the truth,” Chen Xiaolian said with a sigh.

“All right! All right! I’m forty-three years old! That is my real age! Are you are satisfied now!”  The frustrated Polly was forced to tell the truth.

Forty-three years old…

For someone to do this at this age… Chen Xiaolian could not stop himself from sighing.

Honestly, she was truly a very poor and pitiful woman.

Upon her body could be seen the marks of those from the bottom rung who had to struggle just to survive.

She was a smoker. Additionally, there was also signs of alcoholism – there was a scent of alcohol on her clothes.

In fact, before she woke up, Colombo had conducted some inspections on her and saw that there were some needle marks on her body… there was a high chance that this woman was also a drug addict.

“Good. See? Is this not a good? What I need is for you to honestly answer my questions.”

Chen Xiaolian pulled out the stack of money and counted out several notes worth two hundred pounds, which he handed over.

“One question, one hundred pounds,” said Chen Xiaolian as he smiled.

After accepting the money, she inspected them carefully before stuffing them into her chest area.

It was clear that after the stimulation of money, she became somewhat excited. She asked, “What other questions do you have?”

Chen Xiaolian smiled.

Phoenix who was standing beside also smiled.

“The third question, do you always conduct your business in the vicinity of Whitechapel area?” asked Chen Xiaolian.

“Yes,” Polly answered happily.

Chen Xiaolian pulled out another note and handed it over before asking, “Then, Annie Chapman, Catherine Eddowes… have you heard of these two names before?”

“… …” The woman did not directly answer the question. Instead, her eyes turned and she asked, “That… does that count as two questions?”

Chen Xiaolian smiled.

He smiled because, after hearing her words, it was obvious that this woman knew those names!

Chen Xiaolian happily pulled out another two notes and placed them on the surface of the table.

“I know them both. Annie Chapman – we all call her Black Annie, because she is black. Catherine Eddowes… I do not like her. She has been married twice. We call her Kate.”

“Are you friends with them? Are you very close with them?” asked Chen Xiaolian.

“Black Annie… I am closer to her. I often do business together with her… if you know what I mean.”

Hearing that, Chen Xiaolian felt rather awkward. However, he covered it up properly.

Polly continued, “Actually… when I was in the park earlier, Black Annie was also there. However, she was at the entrance to the park…”

Chen Xiaolian was stunned.

He recalled the black woman who came over to seduce him at the entrance earlier… unexpectedly, it was actually her!

A hint of chagrin welled up within his heart and Chen Xiaolian was unable to stop himself from sighing.

“As for Kate … I’m not too close with her. I also do not know where she lives.”

After saying that, Polly showed some hesitation. She asked, “You people… why do you want to find them? They… do they owe you money?”

Chen Xiaolian did not answer the question. Instead, he pulled out another two bills. He asked, “How do I go about finding them?”

“I…” Polly appeared hesitant. Despite her greed, this situation was causing her to hesitate. She asked, “You… you won’t hurt them, would you?”

“No,” answered a smiling Chen Xiaolian. “I promise you, after finding them; we will only ask them a few questions.”

“Black Annie is my friend, I know her number. But… that Kate. I am not close with her. However, I know that the b*tch is an alcoholic. Every night, she will frequent the Savage Bar for a few gla.s.ses of beer before looking for customers. Sometimes, she would even seduce some people in the bar. If you want to look for her, you can try your luck at the Savage Bar at night.”

Chen Xiaolian sighed and placed another bill on the table. He said, “All right, give me Black Annie’s number.”

Polly gave them the phone number.

Chen Xiaolian had Colombo make the call. However, they found that the phone was not turned on.

“Err… she usually sleeps during the day and turns off her phone. You know… we usually come out to work at night,” said Polly. She was afraid that Chen Xiaolian would demand that she return the money and she quickly stuffed the money into her chest. “But, I know where she lives! I can tell you.”

The woman gave them an address.

After that, she asked, “Are you done questioning me? I… can I go now? I swear, I will not report this to the police! I will also not reveal what you look like… hey, I know the rules.”

Chen Xiaolian made a hand gesture toward Lun Tai, who came over and immediately seized Polly’s arms and tied her up with a rope.

“Hey! What are you doing? You liar! Just now, you said you would let me go! Wu wu wu wu…”

Before she could utter any curses, Lun Tai gagged her by stuffing a clump of cloth into her mouth.

“Don’t worry; I will keep my end of the bargain. I will not hurt you… however; you will need to stay here for a while longer. I promise that it won’t be too long. Furthermore… I promise that I won’t hurt you.”

Chen Xiaolian smiled and turned to Colombo. He asked, “Mr Colombo, you have a free room in your house, right?”

Colombo rolled his eyes.

Thus, Polly was stuffed into the guest room. Lun Tai had inspected the room and found no phone in the room. The windows were locked and the woman was tied up with the Black Widow’s spider silk – unless she was an Awakened, she could forget about breaking free.

“Now, let’s go find Black Annie,” said Chen Xiaolian with a sigh. “d.a.m.n it! If only we knew, we could have caught her back yesterday! We missed an opportunity there!”

“It’s not too late to do so now,” said Phoenix as she stood up.

Chen Xiaolian looked at the Phoenix. He said, “I can go … … I know how the woman looks like.”

“I will go with you,” Phoenix smiled coolly.

She retrieved the special revolver of hers, placed it on the table and said to Lun Tai, “I will loan this to you. Keep guard here and protect our guide character… and also the victims. If anything happens… prioritize the protection of the guide character!”

Chen Xiaolian nodded his head. Lun Tai showed no hesitation as he picked up the revolver before inspecting it.

Phoenix also produced several special bullets, which she left with them. After that, she followed Chen Xiaolian out.

“I say, Big Bro… I get the feeling that there is something strange with this young woman.”

Bei Tai sat beside Lun Tai. He held onto a bottle of whiskey and gulped down a mouthful of the wine. Then, he asked, “Why is she always following our Guild Leader? Could it be that she has fallen for our Guild Leader?”

“Shut up,” Lun Tai pursed his lips to the side. “Don’t go spouting nonsense.”

Bei Tai suddenly waggled his eyebrows and whispered, “Say, could Guild Leader have brought her to go eat McDonald’s?”

“What? What McDonald’s?”

“Big Bro, you are really stupid… have you never heard the song they play during McDonald’s advertis.e.m.e.nt?”

“Eh? McDonald’s advertis.e.m.e.nt song?”

“Ba~le pa pa pa~! … [1] … Ha ha ha ha…”

Both Chen Xiaolian and Phoenix left, unaware of the nonsense being discussed by the two fellows.

Chen Xiaolian remained vigilant toward the young woman beside him – she appeared very friendly, and the att.i.tude she exhibited toward their cooperation had been very good. She had also spoken up before to stop the dissatisfaction shown by her team members.

However, a feeling from the bottom of his heart told him that this young woman was no simple character!

“Why did you come with me?”

After getting on the car, Chen Xiaolian asked as he was starting up the car.

“Because… … I like being with you ah,” Phoenix smiled sweetly.

Chen Xiaolian’s hand, which was holding onto the steering wheel shuddered and their car nearly slammed into a wall.

“Ha ha ha ha,” Phoenix laughed and pointed at Chen Xiaolian. “You are really gullible. Can’t you take a joke?”

“That joke is not funny,” said Chen Xiaolian in a m.u.f.fled voice.

“Why do I want to follow you? En, that is simple, because I want to keep an eye on you,” Phoenix replied coolly and smiled. “The one known as Polly is safely in our hands… but now, we need to go look for Black Annie… if you are to go alone and do something… I won’t feel at ease letting you go out alone.”

“… … you are overthinking things,” said Chen Xiaolian coldly. “Your team members went to find the fifth victim, but I did not say anything at all about it.”

“Have not the desire to harm others, lack not the desire to protect oneself,” said Phoenix, who leaned upon her seat. “From this point of view, you are really naïve. If I were you, I would never let my team members go find the fifth victim… at the very least, I would send someone to monitor the situation.”

Pausing for a moment, Phoenix then said in a low tone, “Right, about Jack the Ripper. What are your thoughts on it? Do you think that he is really a ghost? One that was sp.a.w.ned out by the system?”

“Hard to say,” replied Chen Xiaolian.

Phoenix suddenly spoke up, “Have you watched this movie called ‘Final Destination’ before?”

“… … yes.”

“I have this speculation. Perhaps Jack the Ripper is just a killer program created by the system. As long as he kills the five victims in sequence, the system wins. However, if we are to protect one of those victims… then…” Phoenix’s eyes flickered.

Chen Xiaolian’s expression s.h.i.+fted and he said, “Then, the system will skip over the one that is being protected and go for the next one?” Phoenix frowned and replied, “If that is the case… Polly is the second one, but she is now being protected. The third is Black Annie!”

Chen Xiaolian looked at Phoenix and said, “You mean to say, if the killer cannot kill Polly, he would go for the next victim in the sequence and kill Black Annie! This… is the reason why you insist on coming with me to find Black Annie?”

“Correct! So, you had better drive faster! I do not wish to see a sickening corpse when we arrive there.”

Chu Feng’s Death

Xiang Xiang’s arrival gave Lin Mu Yu a headache. The fact that she was staying behind to eat made it even worse.

……

Behind Xiang Xiang were two maidservants, each carrying a tray with dishes of exquisite food. The vessel was made of pure silver and called the Silver Gui. There were a total of 5 dishes of meat and vegetables, along with two pots of fine wine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gui_(vessel)

Chu Yao was dumbstruck. The Silver Gui was something that only n.o.bles would use. Commoners often only had bronze guis, while the imperial family would only use Gold Guis.

There was a dining method in the Empire called the “Bell-Chime Cauldron Feast” that only aristocrats would use. Aristocratic families were always accompanied by music as they ate, and they would line up a row of Dings with food inside. Dings were a type of food container that were actually quite similar to Guis. Of course, Chu Yao had naturally never seen the Cauldron Feast formation before, and even the 5-Gui formation before her was rare seen. The Lord’s treatment of her and Lin Mu Yu was rather extravagant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ding_(vessel)

“Sir, this is the manor’s best wine. It is only served to important guests of the house, so don’t miss this chance to try it.”

At the dining table, Xiang Xiang knelt down on the carpet and enthusiastically poured out the wine for Lin Mu Yu. After offering him several cups of wine, she suddenly asked, “Sir, I heard that you’re an emerging legend who is capable of synthesizing level 5 and even level 6 drugs at your young age. There is a rumor going around that your alchemy skills came from an old book called the Medicine G.o.d Index. Is that true?”

Lin Mu Yu couldn’t help but feel a chill go down his spine. There was no explanation as to why the Lord had to support both him and Chu Yao, unless Hua Tian and Hua Wan really wanted to obtain something from him after all.

“What Medicine G.o.d Index? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He replied with indifference. Although Lin Mu Yu was as proud as a n.o.ble steed, he also knew that it was better to keep some secrets. An ignorant man would be blameless and a person’s treasure would arouse the envy of others.

Xiang Xiang chuckled, “That was a funny joke. The rumor was that Bai Ling Pharmacy’s head apprentice w.a.n.g Ying had drunkenly said that Bai Ling Pharmacy had obtained a copy of Medicine G.o.d Index, or else you and your master Chu Feng’s alchemy proficiency would not have improved so quickly.”

Lin Mu Yu faintly smiled, “Perhaps it is so, but I don’t know.”

Xiang Xiang nodded, “So it’s like this.”

Chu Yao furrowed her brows and asked, “Xiang Xiang, did the Young Lord tell you to spy on us?”

“No way, what is Miss Chu Yao saying!”

Xiang Xiang still had that pleasant smile on her face as she said, “Xiang Xiang was only curious because legends about Mister Lin Mu Yu were circulating about in the streets. Since he doesn’t know anything about a Medicine G.o.d Index, then I’ll just stop asking. Come again, Xiang Xiang will give you a toast again.”

……

After eating and drinking to their hearts’ content, Lin Mu Yu continued to practice his swordsmanship, Sonic Punch and Sonic Blade. At the same time, he was also training his energy shield. It was the special ability of an Earth realm pract.i.tioner that could protect him at all times, so it was a must-have survival technique. In the meantime, Chu Yao also did not go to bed early, instead opting to accompany Lin Mu Yu and practiced the Silver Needle Technique.

“Pew pew pew!”

Three silver needles soundlessly shot into the wooden board. Chu Yao smiled with satisfaction and walked up to remove the needles.

Lin Mu Yu watched from the side and noted, “This amount of power would be enough for acupuncture, but it’s clearly not enough if it’s used to kill. It might not even break through an Earth realm pract.i.tioner’s energy shield.”

Chu Yao nodded, “Yeah, I know.”

As she spoke, she took out her daggers and channeled energy into the daggers’ blades. She challenged with a smile, “Ah Yu, come and fight with me? I know you’re really strong right now, but I don’t know exactly how strong!”

“Alright!”

Lin Mu Yu pulled out his steel sword and said. “Chu Yao, just focus on attacking then.”

Chu Yao smirked and speedily closed the distance. She started out with two consecutive strikes with her daggers and followed up with a pincer attack. Although her initial attacks were very quick, Lin Mu Yu’s attack was even faster. After two quick swings of his sword, the two daggers were swept away. He did not stop there, and countered with a Lightning Chop. It was about four tenths of the normal power because he didn’t want to go all-in.

“Ah?”

Chu Yao did not expect Lin Mu Yu’s speed to be this fast. Hastily putting up the daggers in defense, she only heard a loud crash before a numbing sensation came from her arms. She groaned as she was forced to take several steps back. She opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, “Wow, Ah Yu… You are so strong now, I couldn’t even block that hit!”

Lin Mu Yu humbly smiled, “Sister Chu Yao, your base strength was already lacking and your Violet Mink isn’t helping much with its frail growth. The most important thing to know is that you’re not fast enough. Before you could even strike at your opponent’s weakness, you would have already shown your own weaknesses. I might actually have a way for you to raise your speed.”

“What, What? Teach me!” Chu Yao excitedly said.

Lin Mu Yu explained, “Try to feel for the lightning essence in the air. Then, infuse it into your weapon and use it to execute high speed attacks. This should greatly improve the effect of your attacks.”

“This is…” Chu Yao’s eyes brightened, “Could this be Flame Cauldron Qu Chu’s Lightning Chop?”

“Oh, no…” Lin Mu Yu shook his head, “Lightning Chop’s speed requirement is too much for your current ability, so I won’t teach you the ‘soundless’ Lightning technique. I’m just teaching you how to make use of lightning essences. Furthermore, I promised Elder Qu that I will never teach anyone the techniques that he had taught me.”

“Mm-okay!”

Chu Yao was a fair and considerate girl, so she began to earnestly learn the lightning gathering technique.

Xiang Xiang leaned against a tree and mused with mirth, “It’s quite surprising that Flame Cauldron Qu Chu had taught you so many fighting skills. How strange, I’ve already heard that Flame Cauldron Qu Chu had always been haughty and proud, and never imparted anyone with fighting knowledge.”

Lin Mu Yu snickered. If it wasn’t for him using high cla.s.s alchemy techniques as a collateral, that old fellow would have never taught him Sonic Punch or Verdant Sh.e.l.l!

……

Lin Mu Yu had actually wanted to use the alchemy cauldron to refine a new martial spirit for Chu Yao, but he did not know if it was even possible. If it didn’t work, he might even hurt Chu Yao’s ability. Her Violet Mink’s growth was truly too lacking as it only contained about three tenths that of Lin Mu Yu’s spirit power. This was the main reason as to why Chu Yao’s strength was so weak.

We will just take it slowly. When the time comes, I should be able to help Chu Yao greatly improve her ability.

They practiced all the way until midnight, and then went to their rooms.

Xiang Xiang insisted on staying behind to attend on Lin Mu Yu. There was no way for him to refuse, so she was allowed to stay. As before, she slept on the bed while Lin Mu Yu slept on the bench. After training for a whole day, he dizzily fell asleep.

Right as he was sleeping soundly, someone loudly knocked on his door, “Mister Lin, Miss Chu, something bad has happened!”

“What’s going on?”

Lin Mu Yu quickly got dressed and ran out the door. A guard stood panting as he said, “Quick…Go to the manor’s lobby. Something terrible has happened. The team that we sent to the Capital was ambushed by vagrant mercenaries. Many had died and all the merchandise onboard were lost. Your Bai Ling Pharmacy’s master… Elder Chu Feng had died after being gravely wounded…”

Chu Feng… died…

Lin Mu Yu’s mind blanked out while Chu Yao’s face turned ghastly white. She mumbled in confusion, “How can that be… You’re lying, Grandpa isn’t dead! Grandpa isn’t dead…”

……

The lobby was lit up with torches while at least a thousand soldiers had surrounded the Lord’s manor. Hua Tian had summoned the city’s militia. With this many soldiers around, something had definitely happened.

Several horse carriages were covered in bloodstains. Lin Mu Yu recognized it as the carriage that Chu Feng had rode in for the journey to the Capital. They were originally carrying gifts and Silver Fir’s specialties to be presented to the Imperial family in Lanyan City, but now it was filled with blood-covered corpses. Many of the corpses were caked with blood.

Lifting up the gray cloth, Chu Feng’s peaceful face was exposed. Some kind of sharp weapon had bored through his chest and pierced his heart, so he had probably died a long while ago from such a wound.

Seeing Chu Feng’s face, Chu Yao broke down into forlorn sobs and leaned over Chu Feng’s body as she cried. Grandpa Chu Feng had raised her from when she was a toddler, so seeing her sole relative pa.s.sing away like this, Chu Yao felt as if the world was about to collapse down on her.

Lin Mu Yu stood nearby but did not try to comfort Chu Yao. It was better for her to mourn now, or else she might crumble down completely.

Looking around, Lin Mu Yu saw that many of the surrounding soldiers were covered in wounds.

Lord Hua Tian shouted angrily as he grasped his iron sword, “Chu Feng is an elder of the Panacea Department, so why is it that this trip would end up with him dead? What happened exactly?”

General Zhu Dao Rong clenched his spear tighter. His face was ashen while his chest was reddened by the blood that was dripping from two arrows sticking out in his chest plate. He abruptly knelt down and said, “Lord… We tried everything we could, but we were ambushed by a pack of mercenaries when we pa.s.sed Dagger Gorge. There was a Saint Realm warrior amongst them so I was no match for him as I was seriously injured. I could only look on helplessly as Elder Chu Feng was killed and as the goods were robbed… I beg for your highness to punish me!”

“You!”

Hua Tian clenched his teeth and abruptly placed his sword at Zhu Dao Rong’s neck. He exclaimed angrily, “General Zhu, don’t think that I don’t dare to kill you. It is your failure that lead to the tragic death of one of the Empire’s pillars of alchemy!”

Zhu Dao Rong mumbled, “Lord, I will have no regrets if I were to die at your hands. I have failed the Empire and failed Silver Fir City!”

Right at that moment, a crowd of wounded soldiers knelt down one after another and begged forgiveness for the general. Hua Tian sighed, “Cease! This won’t bring anyone back. Zhu Dao Rong, I’ll be deducting two years of grain pay and dropping you by one rank to moral officer. Do you have any objections?”

“I have no objections!”

Hua Tian walked over and placed his hand onto Lin Mu Yu’s shoulder. Looking deeply into his eyes, Hua Tian sternly said, “Boy… Elder Chu Feng’s death is ultimately Silver Fir’s responsibility. Don’t be too distressed, I will definitely try and satisfy all of yours and Chu Yao’s needs. Rest a.s.sured, Silver Fir and the Panacea Division will never abandon you guys.”

Lin Mu Yu’s eyes were slightly bloodshot as he answered, “I understand. Thank you, my lord!”

He turned around and hugged Chu Yao’s shoulders. He then opened up Chu Feng’s shirt and looked at the wound. The hole was in the shape of a triangular-pyramid. This heart piercing blow was definitely from some kind of unusual weapon.

……

“Don’t be too sad, Chu Yao. Let’s quickly lay Grandpa Chu Feng to rest so he can sleep in peace.”

Chapter 116 - A Troubled Song Lingshan

 

“Wh-wha-? Huh??” Mengyao almost tripped! Boyfriend? Moving in together? Was Shu trying to p.i.s.s her off to death?!! Mengyao only put on a straight face as she turned to Yushu, thinking of changing the subject. “Shu… You’re a lady you know… You should stop using words like p.i.s.s or p.o.o.p… it’s quite vulgar, isn’t it? Don’t say stuff like that anymore……”

“Okay, I won’t say anything.” Yushu nodded.

“Good……” Mengyao sighed.

“Well, I’ll tell Pingy about you and Shield Guy tomorrow then, if you’re fine with it……” Yushu continued.

“......” Mengyao really wanted to beat the girl up- didn’t they just agree not to say anything? The girl was clearly still h.e.l.lbent on announcing to Zhong Pinliang her relationship with Lin Yi!!

“Shu, the time’s not ripe yet you know… Lin Yi just transferred in, and we’ve made it clear that we don’t know him at all- doesn’t it sound a little forced if you… tell them about us? Everything works with a lot of proper steps involved, and it’s the same with this. So, don’t say anything yet!” Mengyao said.

“Oh. It’s your call, Yao Yao.” Yushu said with a nod. “Well, it doesn’t really matter to me anyway, you’re the first wife and I’m the second… You’re the one choosing the guy……”

“Shu!” Mengyao wanted to hammer Yushu to death. “Why’re you always bringing that up? You’re not stupid, you know you can’t just marry the guy I marry!!”

“Don’t be too sure.” Yushu said, leaning forward and embracing Mengyao. “That’s just how I’m gonna do it if I don’t wanna be apart from you……”

“...You’re really… What should I do with you, Shu.” Mengyao shook her head, a little speechless. She held Yushu’s hand, and the two of them walked up the stairs together. Mengyao made sure to give the general an order as they went up. “General Wei Wu, good performance so far! Keep guarding that spot, don’t let that man come up!”

“Woof, woof……” The general responded, troubled. That man wasn’t someone he could just stop if he actually tried to go up……

 

Song Lingshan was quite troubled indeed- Pin Jieyan’s death meant a dead end! He had more distinct features, like his bald head, and it was a lot easier to search for him in comparison to his common-looking lakeys……

From what the autopsy had reported, the man had died unprepared and vulnerable- it was instant death with one bullet. The other corpse had died in the same manner as well.

They’d made a thorough search of the surrounding area, but these were the only two corpses they had. It meant that the remaining members of the group were still alive.

This was actually good news- Ling Shan would’ve grown even more troubled if the entire group had perished. It wasn’t that big of a problem with just two deaths: it was either an inner conflict or a superior tying up loose ends.

They’d found out about the other corpse’s ident.i.ty online, as well: Ma Liu, a twenty-nine-year-old unemployed male, from the Shelf County Cattle Village area, a thug known for his laziness in the village.

He’d said he was leaving the village for work, and had disappeared since then……

Evidently, Ma Liu only met Pin Jieyan after leaving the village, and there wasn’t

much to go on with only that clue……

Lingshan hesitated a while longer before deciding to give Huaijun a call. She needed his advice- she’d claimed that she’d have the case solved in ten days already, and while the director wouldn’t go as far as to fire her, it’d look really bad for the Song family as well as herself… Her father would have to lower his head in shame in front of the other relatives……

“Yang Bro, it’s me……” Lingshan greeted, uneasy. After all, the call was informing Huaijun of her inability even after following in Huaijun’s footsteps for so long… It was quite embarra.s.sing for her……

Huaijun would always act as commander while Lingshan stayed in the vanguard, completely obliterating even the most violent of criminals with her experience as special ops coach backing her up. High-stakes missions were always Lingshan’s specialty, and this was something the department had recognized! A female captain wouldn’t have sat well with people otherwise, after all.

“What’s up, Song?” Huaijun was just about to go for a checkup at the Eastern doctor’s before going to the provincial office for a meeting later. His sickness had acted up again that day, and while it was because of Lin Yi agitating him, his body did deteriorate with each pa.s.sing day. Huaijun noticed at least that much.

“Cap’n… The 313 bank robbery case… We still don’t have any leads- the two suspects we located were dead, and the whereabouts of the other remaining group members are unknown as well……” Lingshan said carefully.

“Ah……” Huaijun, naturally, understood Lingshan’s position- the girl didn’t set out for detective work, after all, and she hadn’t been properly trained before. “Well, I’ve heard about this already, so let me tell you what my thoughts are: I think that the ‘cutting loose ends’ scenario isn’t too likely. If that were the case, we’d have more than just two corpses.”

“Yeah……. But what if the two were killed off by the others, because they weren’t part of the inner circle?” Lingshan asked softly.

“It wouldn’t add up- why would they bring two guys they don’t trust with them, for what purpose? It has to be either a team of inside people, or a team of non-insiders……” Huaijun said with a smile. “So, an inner conflict is the most plausible scenario. It could be a dispute with the distribution of the money they’d robbed on Pin Jieyan and Ma Liu’s part, resulting in their teammates killing them off.”

“Ah, that makes sense…… That should be it.” Linghan nodded in agreement.

“Now, if that were the case, all we need to do is increase the search radius. Unless they don’t care about the money, they’ll find a hard time moving around. We’ve got our men in the traffic police searching for us too, and the chances of them leaving Songshan’s very low, as well. Do another search where you found the corpses, you might find some new clues……” Huaijun continued.

“Alright, got it.” Lingshan said, suddenly feeling enlightened.

“Haha, Song, I heard about you having some fun with Lin Yi?” Huaijun sighed, deciding to ask her about it after all. The news of Song Lingshan’s forwardness had been spread around the police department already, about her servicing her boyfriend at the hospital……

Huaijun didn’t quite believe Lin Yi becoming a couple with Lingshan- Lin Yi wasn’t the type to make commitments like that just anywhere, and there hadn’t been any bad rumors regarding Lingshan ever since she’d entered the department…… She’d even rejected a man as outstanding as Chen Yutian, after all……

But every girl found herself attracted to someone eventually, as the saying went. As fine a man Chen Yutian was, he was still quite lacking when compared to someone like Lin Yi. Even a girl as exceptional as Yi was head over heels for Lin Yi, let alone Song Lingshan…...

Chapter 12: Interrogation (1)

Compared to back then, Zhu Xianyao’s appearance hadn’t changed much. She was still a pure beauty, but her temperament had changed drastically.

The Zhu Xianyao back then was extremely attractive and lovable, making it so that anyone who saw her would want to embrace her.

The current Zhu Xianyao’s aura had taken a complete 180.

He hadn’t noticed when he was far away, but now that he was close it was obvious.

Even though Zhu Xianyao was still elegant, she was no longer mild. Even though she was beautiful, she was no longer charming. Even though she was still full of life, she had lost her purity.

She was like a flower that had endured a snowstorm, transforming from a lily into a snowy rose.

Her eyebrows were cold, her face was cold, and even her gaze was cold.

This made Su Chen feel quite a bit of shock.

He was deeply aware that Zhu Xianyao’s former att.i.tude wasn’t because she was born that way but because it had been the result of constant training after her birth. After all, women with the Slyheart Fox Bloodline needed to be charming in order to confuse their targets.

But what was with this current Zhu Xianyao?

This kind of n.o.ble, cool att.i.tude wasn’t meant to charm people into getting closer but to keep them thousands of kilometers away.

And this kind of att.i.tude and aura obviously wasn’t something that had surfaced overnight but was a habit developed over a long period of time. Only then would she possess such a majestic presence.

Su Chen refocused himself and lowered his head as he said, “Just tell me what you called me here for.”

This voice was very nasally and asinine, but it was in line with how You Tianyang usually behaved in front of Zhu Xianyao.

“Some humans tried to infiltrate earlier, but they didn’t belong to us. Let me ask you, did you tell anyone else about what we are here to do?” Zhu Xianyao asked coldly.

Su Chen froze. Zhu Xianyao thought that this was all because You Tianyang couldn’t keep his mouth shut and had told someone else?

But when he thought about it, it wasn’t too surprising. They had come all this way to discuss things with the Sand Race, so how could other humans infiltrate for no reason? Nothing had happened in West Laina Castle for many years, so why were there people trying to get into the castle just as Zhu Xianyao and the others had decided to come and visit?

Was this a coincidence? Or was this a scheme of hers?

It would have been strange if Zhu Xianyao wasn’t suspicious.

In reality, it wasn’t just Zhu Xianyao who was suspicious. Even Pall had realized this point, but he hadn’t immediately acted was all. Perhaps he was waiting for Zhu Xianyao to give him an explanation.

Upon realizing this, Su Chen’s heart seized. He said haltingly, “This……”

He purposefully hesitated and didn’t speak. Zhu Xianyao said, “You told Zhu Xianling, didn’t you?”

Su Chen didn’t know who this Zhu Xianling was, but he still seized the opportunity and nodded his head.

“You piece of tras.h.!.+ Didn’t I tell you not to let het her know?” Zhu Xianyao yelled in anger.

Su Chen rubbed the back of his head. “I……”

He was still dilly-dallying when an old man to the side spoke up. “Young Miss, you know that Prince Tianyang’s bloodline has yet to awaken. With Second Young Miss’s techniques, it’s very hard for him to endure.”

“Even if he couldn’t endure, he should have at least told me earlier so that I could prepare myself! Now what can we do? Our negotiations were going fine, but people suddenly tried to infiltrate the castle. Does she want to try and mess up my plan with chaos? Or does she want to try and a.s.sa.s.sinate Pall in order to frame me?” Zhu Xianyao said angrily.

Su Chen had never seen Zhu Xianyao speak in such an angry manner.

Perhaps the Zhu Xianyao he had seen before was someone living as a disguise and was never real. The current Zhu Xianyao seemed a bit more genuine to him somehow.

She was made of flesh and blood and had quite the temper, and even a bit of a tomboyish att.i.tude.

This tomboyish att.i.tude was obviously a turn-off to most men, so Zhu Xianyao never displayed it openly. It wasn’t until now that Su Chen saw this side of her.

Su Chen thought for a moment. Suddenly, a thought came to him as he said, “Their leader wasn’t angry and didn’t turn on us. No matter what the spies’ goals were, you could say that they failed in their mission this time. I think that what we should do now is interrogate the criminal and figure out what his target was, as well as what their next steps are.

He said this clearly and succinctly, giving even Zhu Xianyao a bit of surprise. “You’ve finally said something sensible for once.”

Su Chen wasn’t worried that Zhu Xianyao would suspect him because of what he had said.

Even though You Tianyang looked like he was an idiot, his outward appearance didn’t necessarily match up with his real situation. You Tianyang had tried to lie to Su Chen even after he had fallen into Su Chen’s hands, showing that he wasn’t a complete idiot.

More importantly, people had many different characteristics and were often hard to understand. It might be possible to a.s.sign them certain stereotypes, but reducing them to a base set of rules was impossible.

As such, no matter how much Su Chen’s words didn’t seem like they could ever come out of You Tianyang’s mouth, Zhu Xianyao wouldn’t suspect him — you wouldn’t suspect a normally stupid friend of being someone else just because they said something smart from time to time unless it started to happen constantly and their entire personality had changed. However, this method of discovery through comparison required a lot of time.

Su Chen needed to openly talk about interrogating He Xu in order to get into contact him without being suspected.

“Young Miss, Leader Pall might not allow us to interrogate him,” the old man said.

“Don’t worry about that. I’ll talk things over with Pall; I need to make sure that this guy didn’t come here to target us,” Zhu Xianyao said as she turned around and left.

Not long afterwards, Zhu Xianyao returned, her expression tired. “He agreed.”

Pall wasn’t an idiot. The Zhu Clan had come with a request and had no reason to scheme against him under these kinds of circ.u.mstances. In addition, if they wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate Pall, they wouldn’t have sent a Yang Opening Realm cultivator. As such, he accepted what Zhu Xianyao had said and believed that it was likely the Zhu Clan’s opponents were purposefully making trouble. Of course, he didn’t just accept that reasoning for nothing; he had harshly extorted Zhu Xianyao again, causing her to go pale with anger.

“It’s all because of that d.a.m.ned b.a.s.t.a.r.d, costing me an additional hundred thousand Origin Stones. This guy won’t accept any payments in installments and just wants a one-time reward. He has no long-term insight whatsoever,” Zhu Xianyao cursed angrily.

“He’s just been tricked one too many times. Even the dumbest person will start to become cautious when they’ve been lied to enough, and he’s not nearly that stupid,” Zhu Baiyu laughed as he walked into the room, carrying He Xu over his shoulder.

Upon seeing Zhu Baiyu arrive, Su Chen lowered his head silently.

“Sixth Uncle!” Zhu Xianyao said in a low voice, obviously agitated.

“Don’t worry,” Zhu Baiyu replied. “Those Sand Race individuals aren’t there anymore, so feel free to speak.”

Upon hearing this, Su Chen felt his heart jolt.

So Zhu Xianyao and the others actually did have other goals in mind in coming here? Establis.h.i.+ng a foothold in Long Sang Country to fight with the Immortal Temple was all a lie?

Zhu Baiyu set He Xu down, then returned and sat next to Zhu Xianyao, preparing to start the interrogation. The others stood behind them.

Zhu Xianyao didn’t like You Tianyang, but Zhu Baiyu didn’t seem to have any issues with him. He said quite gently, “Tianyang, you can have a seat too. Why are you standing there like you’re a servant?”

Su Chen lowered his head and replied, “Tianyang messed up and told Second Young Miss that we were coming here, causing this matter to occur. That’s why Tianyang doesn’t dare sit.”

Zhu Baoui laughed. “I already know about this matter; it’s not entirely your fault. Don’t worry, have a seat.”

“Oh.” Su Chen pretended to sit down clumsily. In a moment of inattention, an item fell out from his clothes, rolling forward until it came to a stop at He Xu’s feet.

When he saw that item, He Xu’s eyes lit up.

On the contrary, the way Murong Qingyan looked was… to put it mildly, inferior. Her blue clothes were worn out; long, pitch-black hair was simply tied with a lace, her originally pretty facial features were ruined due to the huge purple birthmark, all in all giving off a particularly strange vibe.

The contrast between the two was remarkably sharp: one was like floating on air immortal fairy, the other was as ugly as only a demon could be.

However, people couldn’t help but be surprised. Compared to Murong Qingxue, Murong Qingyan’s imposing manner was even more forceful. Although spectators’ eyes first fell onto Murong Qingxue, then they were inescapably attracted to Murong Qingyan.

Obviously, she didn’t have any strength, undoubtedly ugly, but people just couldn’t ignore her existence.

“Elder sister, you still have a chance to turn back,” Murong Qingxue opened her mouth looking at Murong Qingyan with superficial concern. “In the ring, a fist has no eyes. If the time comes when elder sister gets hurt, I won’t feel good.”

“Murong Qingxue, are you pretending even here? How annoying, ah,” Murong Qingyan knitted her eyebrows, looking at the hypocritical act of Murong Qingxue. “If you don’t want to fight, then go, get lost.”

Hearing this remark, Murong Qingxue’s complexion immediately became very unsightly. People on the stands, because of those words, also flared up.

“Heavens, I’ve never seen such a shameless person before! Miss Murong Qingxue is obviously worried about her elder sister, but even then she unexpectedly goes so far as to speak in such a conceited manner.”

“Hahaha! This Murong Qingyan is actually too ignorant. She is nothing more than a waste who cannot even condense Xuan Li, but surprisingly tells Miss Murong Qingxue to admit defeat.”

“Miss Qingxue, fighting! You must give a good lesson to Murong Qingyan, this ugly freak! Such a person only stains people’s eyes!”

More and more of nasty words rained down, but they didn’t affect the person in question.

Murong Qingxue’s lips naturally rose into an appropriate smile, she involuntarily looked at Murong Qingyan, seizing her up, as if she had never met such Murong Qingyan before, but no matter what, she would be the one to win this match. Murong Qingyan could only become her stepping stone.

The corners of her mouth curved slightly higher, with a smile never leaving her face she extended her hand, saying: “Since elder sister is unwilling to appreciate to my painstaking efforts, then don’t blame me, this younger sister of yours. But, elder sister, feel at ease, later I surely will be going easy on you.”

Right. Indeed she would show Murong Qingyan mercy: she would not take her life. Yet, she wanted Murong Qingyan to become a complete waste, she wanted her to lead a life worse than death.

While Murong Qingxue was speaking, ruthlessness flashed within her eyes.

“You don’t have to show me mercy,” Murong Qingyan’s mouth hooked in a touch of a sneer. “Because I will not show you mercy either. Since we are already standing on this ring, there’s no need for an insincere courtesy here.”

“I also advise you not to speak too much nonsense, lest you put yourself even in uglier position later.”

Murong Qingxue’s face stiffened, but quickly returned to her usual elegance: “This being the case, asking elder sister to give me some pointers.”

On the stands, Murong Xiong’s complexion turned utterly hideous as he watched happenings in the arena. At this moment he so wished he could directly cut off relations with Murong Qingyan. But, unfortunately, now he couldn’t act rashly. However, he decided that once Murong Qingyan lost, he would punish this unfilial child who couldn’t tell good from bad harshly.

The only reason Xiang Shaoyun had accepted Shou Xie, Jin Shui, and Ling Lin was because they had once fought alongside each other. The three had conducted themselves well, and he decided to give them a chance. He wouldn't have allowed them to join otherwise.

Now, Xiang Shaoyun was the leader of the group of seven humans and demonic beasts. A considerable amount of dragon liquid had formed within the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, and it was up to them to look for it.

With the treasure seeking mouse, Shou Xie had gained his first three drops. It wouldn't be easy to push the mouse to look for more. Fortunately, Xiang Shaoyun had his senses to rely on. They were heading toward an area with dragon liquid.

Along the way, they encountered a number of demonic beasts, but they were able to take a detour or escape in time without fighting too much. When they arrived at their destination, they found that it was a territory of a clan of draconic lizards.

The draconic lizards weren't any weaker than the dragon-scaled elephants. In fact, they were slightly stronger. It wouldn't be an easy feat to s.n.a.t.c.h the dragon liquid from their territory.

Xiang Shaoyun made the others stay behind while he entered invisibility and searched for the dragon liquid within a certain cave belonging to a draconic lizard. However, a dreadful Sovereign draconic lizard was residing in the cave. It was most likely a mid-stage Sovereign, its strength fearsome.

Xiang Shaoyun had thought that his plan would succeed so long as he could sneak into the cave with his invisibility. But the slumbering draconic lizard Emperor actually opened its eyes and started sniffing the air when he entered, as if it had sensed him.

"Where is this human smell coming from?" the draconic lizard Emperor muttered with a piercing voice.

At that, Xiang Shaoyun sneaked out of the cave, not daring to stay a second longer. After he returned to the group, he got the others to retreat with him as well. He did not dare to even stay in the cave's vicinity.

"There's a scary draconic lizard there. He almost found me. It will be hard to steal the dragon liquid from him," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Each location of dragon liquid will be guarded by powerful demons. Looks like none of the academy missions are easy," said Tang Longfei with a sigh.

"So, are we returning, or are we going to continue our search somewhere else?" Shou Xie asked.

Xiang Shaoyun sank into thought for a bit before answering, "You guys find somewhere safe and hide there. I will lure him out with the puppet before I sneak inside and steal the dragon liquid."

"Won't that be too dangerous?" Lady Shura asked.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine," said Xiang Shaoyun confidently.

The others didn't say anything when they saw how confident Xiang Shaoyun was. Inwardly, they were ashamed that they couldn't be of any help. After the others left, Xiang Shaoyun started his plan. He used the same plan, sending the nether prison devil puppet to attack the draconic lizard's cave.

Infuriated, the draconic lizard charged out of the cave and battled the puppet. The draconic lizard was indeed fearsome. He was a fifth-stage Demon Sovereign, and he revealed a combat prowess comparable to a human sixth-stage Emperor. The nether prison devil puppet was unable to use devilish energy, and it could only fight with pure physical strength. Even so, it managed to fight the lizard to a standstill.

As the battle raged on, Xiang Shaoyun snuck into the cave and found a hole containing a pile of high-grade spirit crystals. A considerable amount of high-level spirit spring liquid could be found in the hole as well. From the liquid's fragrance and the milky white appearance, Xiang Shaoyun was certain it was an emperor-grade spirit spring liquid.

Although the liquid had yet to transform fully into a spirit spring of life, it was not far from becoming one. Apart from the spirit spring, the spirit crystals seemed to contain some sort of liquid drops that looked more like tiny dragons. These were most certainly droplets of dragon liquid.

In his joy, Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed, "That draconic lizard sure knows how to enjoy life. He actually built a spiritual pool like this for himself? Well, thank you very much, then!" 

Without a doubt, Xiang Shaoyun was planning to steal everything in the pool, not leaving anything for the lizard. Just as he was about to make a move, he noticed three extraordinary looking spiritual herbs growing beside the pile of spirit crystals.

When he focused on the plants, joy covered his face as he muttered, "Half-life draconic lizard herb? This is a treasure as well!"

The so-called half-life draconic lizard herb was a spiritual herb that would grow alongside draconic lizards. Shaped like an actual draconic lizard, the plant would only turn into a true spiritual herb with the nourishment of draconic lizard's blood essence and essence energy.

The three stalks had yet to reach the level of a sovereign medicine, but they were most certainly emperor medicines. Each stalk contained an amount of energy comparable to 10 drops of dragon liquid. Without waiting any longer, Xiang Shaoyun started harvesting everything.

Fortunately, the pool wasn't too big. Otherwise, it would take him a much longer time to dig it out. Outside, the draconic lizard who was battling the nether prison devil puppet sensed something going on within his cave, causing him to break free and rush back.

When Xiang Shaoyun sensed the draconic lizard heading back, his nerves grew tense. He had the nether prison devil puppet stop the draconic lizard with all its strength while he directly released his Nether Soul Domain, trying to use the power of the domain to help dig the entire place up. After he was done, he immediately stuffed everything into his astral cosmos sea.

It was at that moment that the draconic lizard entered the cave, cramping the cave with his ma.s.sive body. Xiang Shaoyun was so frightened his hair stood on end, and he quickly dashed out of the cave while sticking close to the wall.

Hiss! Hiss!

The draconic lizard was infuriated to find his treasure stolen. Sniffing at the air, he quickly locked on to Xiang Shaoyun's position and clawed at him furiously.

"Nether prison devil puppet!" Xiang Shaoyun quickly summoned the puppet over to provide a.s.sistance. The puppet dashed over, grabbed the draconic lizard's tail, and forcefully dragged the draconic lizard out of the cave. And thus, Xiang Shaoyun was able to barely avert the calamity.

He patted his chest and muttered, "This young master nearly p.i.s.sed his pants in fright!"

He normally acted like he feared nothing, but he also feared death like everyone else. Without delay, he fled at his full speed. Nowadays, he was able to keep his Nether Shadow Evanescence active for a long period of time, long enough for him to escape far away.

As for the nether prison devil puppet, after luring the draconic lizard toward a different direction, it returned to Xiang Shaoyun. The draconic lizard did not bother giving chase to the nether prison devil puppet. After all, he couldn't actually do much to the puppet, and his priority was figuring out who stole his treasure. After meeting up with the puppet, Xiang Shaoyun returned to Tang Longfei and company.

"We need to leave immediately!" Xiang Shaoyun did not dare to stay and quickly got them to leave with him. He was afraid that the draconic lizard, mad with fury, would suddenly appear. Things would then get really troublesome.
