After all, no matter what was said, he did not have the time to go to some culinary school to learn, so this was the best method he had left.\nHowever, before his attempt was realized, he had been kicked out from the kitchen by his mother.\nIt must be known that his mother was a steady believer of ‘a nobleman stays clear of the kitchen’ rule. She believed that if men entered the kitchen they would lose their enterprising spirit. Thus, in the years of marriage, his father had never been into the kitchen even once.\nNo matter what was said, the cooking skill did not yet appear in Wei Xiao Bei’s status panel. This made him a bit puzzled and doubtful. Could it be that he simply had no innate talent? And, why did it still not appear?\nWhen the man ran to his direction, Wei Xiao Bei hesitated.\nIf it was to steal the treasure, he did not want to play this hand.\nAlthough he had been in the Dust World for such a long time and killed people and monsters alike, he still felt sorry deep inside when he truly encountered this kind of situation.\nHe had no choice in this due to his strict upbringing. Although he could be called mischievous when he was small, he had never done things that would go over the bounds of what was proper. The worst thing he had done in the past was to cook the neighbors’ goldfish and eat it and opening a small duck’s chest to try to find the hidden gold.\nHowever, when he had matured, he had never stolen anything.\nIn his hesitation, the man ran over to his direction while gazing at him. The man could not help but be startled and slowed down.\nHowever, in the next moment, the man’s eyes let out an ominous light. He pulled out the dagger and thrust it toward Wei Xiao Bei’s chest.\nAt the same time, Wei Xiao Bei also used [Status Appraisal] on the man.\nSpecial Skills: Cold Release (This ability was obtained from a Millenium Ice Cicada. Lowest temperature is 190 degrees below zero) ???\nItems on Hand: Small Holding Bag, Dang Kang’s Tusk, Fake Bashe’s Dragonfly Grass\nWei Xiao Bei immediately dodged the man’s attack and reactively released his [High Intimidation]!\nIn an instant, an invisible force spread through out the area with Wei Xiao Bei as the center.\nAlthough the man named Zhang Xuan Shuo could be considered to be strong, terror immediately filled his eyes when the [High Intimidation] was activated, causing him to run.\nSince they had already exchanged moves, Wei Xiao Bei would not let the man go and give himself a hidden danger. The previous guilt from the thought of stealing the opponent’s treasure had disappeared when his opponent attacked.\nWei Xiao Bei patted his waist, and the great spear shot out like lightning. Then he leapt up and chased after Zhang Xuan Shuo.\nWhen the spear head appeared to have almost pierced the other side, who knew that Zhang Xuan Shuo did not even need to look. He turned around and slashed at it, diverting the trajectory of the spear with the Dang Kang’s Tusk. “Good!”\nIn truth, other than his master and apprentice brothers, this was the first time he encountered a strong opponent like this.\nThis did not mean that the opponent had high attributes, but rather the opponent had strong blade skills.\nWei Xiao Bei knew what the so-called Battojutsu was. The origin of this technique was from the Tang Dynasty’s two-handed sword techniques.\nAfterwards, it was transmitted to Japan, becoming known as Battojutsu.\nThe main part of this technique was to unleash an attack by pulling the blade from the sheath.\nThis blade pull was extremely concealed and suited for sneak attacks. The move was very fierce. It focused on hitting with one strike. Missing would mean losing the initiative, so it was not easy to use.\nNo matter what was said, Zhang Xuan Shuo’s counterattack had hit the spear head and diverted it. This level of technique was rarely seen.\nFacing this kind of strong opponent, Wei Xiao Bei was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he became excited.\nWhen Zhang Xuan Shuo diverted the great spear, he turned around and jumped at Wei Xiao Bei. He placed the tusk on his waist again and entered a knife wielding stance to slightly threaten Wei Xiao Bei.\nChop!\nWei Xiao Bei tightened his grip on the great spear and immediately chopped toward the incoming Zhang Xuan Shuo.\nZhang Xuan Shuo became serious at Wei Xiao Bei’s attack.\nPreviously, Wei Xiao Bei’s [High Intimidation] had shaken him. If he did not have his special skill to reduce the effects of [High Intimidation], he would have already died.\nCompared to the excitement he brought Wei Xiao Bei, what Wei Xiao Bei gave him was a heavy pressure!\nEver since he entered the Dust World, he relied on his head, hard work, and the heavenly opportunity to become strong. He believed that he was strong. Just his medical skills alone allowed him to open his own private hospital in the real world and earn a lot of money.\nIn other words, Zhang Xuan Shuo could be considered to be very successful in the real world and in the Dust World.\nHowever, he had been marked by someone today after he stole the Fake Bashe’s Dragonfly Grass.\nPerhaps he might have been marked even before that.\nUnfortunately, he had just found the Dang Kang’s Tusk and had not yet processed it into a weapon. If he had, his fighting strength would be several times greater.\nNo matter what!\nI must kill this boy!\nDraw!\nFacing Wei Xiao Bei’s directly attacking great spear, Zhang Xuan Shuo did not retreat. On the contrary, he faced the great spear head on.\nThe Dang Kang’s Tusk was suddenly pulled out and thrusted. It was like the hero Xing Tian who fought against the Celestial Emperor.\nEven Wei Xiao Bei could not help but praise him in his heart.\nBattojutsu could be described as dangerous and fierce. However, in Zhang Xuan Shuo’s hands, it gave off a different style. Heroic!\nWei Xiao Bei admits that his Bajiaquan could not reach this level even though they were on the same rank of perfection.\nNaturally, this was pardonable. The amount of effort that Zhang Xuan Shuo placed on his Battojutsu should be more than 10 times the amount of effort Wei Xiao Bei placed on Bajiquan.\nIt must be known that Wei Xiao Bei had at most only been in the Dust World for half a year.\nBang! When the Dang Kang’s Tusk struck against the spear, the spear was once again diverted. Afterwards, Zhang Xuan Shuo strode forward like a running bull. He instantly appeared in front of Wei Xiao Bei and thrust his Dang Kang’s Tusk.\nHe truly is an expert!\nWei Xiao Bei once again praised him in his heart. However, his face did not change at all. He did not even discard his great spear at his opponent’s approach.\nFor Wei Xiao Bei, letting go of the great spear was a joke.\n“Ha!” Wei Xiao Bei shouted. His overpowering voice flooded toward Zhang Xuan Shuo, making his ears numb and his eyes expand, as if he had blanked out.\nWei Xiao Bei was not a negative jing expert only in name but also in reality.\nIn truth, within the Guo Shu experts, most of them had reached this level and even approached the next level of jing, neutral jing.\nAs long as they successfully opened their meridians and blood channels then circulated Qi all over their bodies, they could reach approach the level of neutral jing, the level of having your entire body as the weapon and allow their bodies to gain a level of protection.\nIt was said that higher levels of neutral jing would allow a martial artists to even shoot out their Qi like an arrow or even spit it out from their mouths as an attack.\nAlthough Wei Xiao Bei had not reached this level, his voice was enough to make Zhang Xuan Shuo suffer.\nBang!\nWei Xiao Bei kicked Zhang Xuan Shuo away.\nThis was the martial artist’s motto. No martial artist would dare claim that they were the strongest under heaven.\nThere were numerous experts around the world. Wei Xiao Bei would also not dare say that he had completely seen through Zhang Xuan Shuo’s status.\nIt must be known that there were hidden things in his status panel.\nThus, Wei Xiao Bei kicked him away to ensure that he would not receive the threat from close by.\nIt must be known that a high level of Battojutsu like Zhang Xuan Shuo’s would have a faster blade the closer they were.\nIn truth, if the tusk in Zhang Xuan Shuo’s hands was more knife shaped, then the previous thrust might have hit Wei Xiao Bei.\nAfter being kicked, Zhang Xuan Shuo was sent flying. Before he even landed, a spray of blood came out from his mouth. Moreover, he felt numbness spread from the place he was kicked at.\nWei Xiao Bei’s kick was not a simple kick. It also had the power of electricity within it and came out from the hole underneath his shoes.\nBy contrast, when Wei Xiao Bei kicked and pulled back his leg, he frowned as he felt a piercing cold on the soles of his foot. He examined it and saw that a layer of ice had appeared under his shoes.\nWhat a strong ability!\nIn truth, if Wei Xiao Bei had not felt the danger and quickly pulled back his leg, his soles would have probably been turned to ice.\nWith a fierce stomp, the ice had turned into fragments, and then he thrusted his weapon countless times at Zhang Xuan Shuo who had jumped up from the ground.\nAt this time, Zhang Xuan Shuo’s strength had already gained Wei Xiao Bei’s acknowledgement. So Wei Xiao Bei now gave it his all."

第205章、东瀛拔刀术对大枪！
坚决更新！
话说在灰界里，这些水域里应该有不少的好东西？
不过一想到，自己的烹饪乃至于其它几个需要开发的技能，卫小北就感觉有些头痛。
总之，有些事情就是欲速不达，卫小北这段时间也锻炼不少了。
在家里的时候，卫小北还舔着脸去厨房给老妈打下手，企图偷师一二，毕竟卫小北怎么说也没有时间去什么烹饪学校进修，因而也就只能想这些办法了。
不过卫小北的企图尚未实现就被老妈给赶出了厨房。
要知道，卫母可是君子远庖厨的坚定奉行者，她认为男人下厨房会让男人变得没有进取心，因而结婚这么多年，卫父可是没进过一次厨房。 对老公尚且如此，儿子就更不用提了。
不管怎么说，卫小北的烹饪技能始终没有出现在属性面板上，这让卫小北多少有些疑惑，怀疑自己是不是压根就没有一点这方面的天赋，否则的话，何故如此？
男子狂奔过来，卫小北犹豫了一下。
要说出手抢夺对方的宝物，卫小北还真有点下不了这个手。
虽说在灰界里混了这么久，杀人也干过，杀怪物也杀过，但真正遇到这样事情的时候，卫小北内心深处就会有一点点不好意思。
没法，从小家教甚严，卫小北虽说小时候也称得上调皮捣蛋，但从未做过过于出格的事情，所犯最大错误也就是将邻居家的金鱼用蜡烛烤着吃，将养着的小鸭子开膛破肚寻找所谓的黄金。 但至少成年以后。
就没有做过抢夺人家东西的事情。
就在卫小北犹豫的这一瞬间，那男人从巨石旁狂奔而过，眼睛余光就瞟在了卫小北身上。
但下一刻。 男人眼中就爆出凶光，右手的当康之牙一撩，便朝着卫小北当胸刺去！
与此同时，卫小北起手就是一个属性探查落在了男人身上。
特殊能力：寒冰释放（该能力来自千年冰蝉，最低温度零下一百九十度）？
持有物：小百宝袋，当康之牙。 伪巴蛇蜒草。
一个闪身，卫小北便躲过了男人的当胸刺击，随后高级震慑释放！
片刻之间，以卫小北为中心，一股无形的威压波动便蔓延开来。
这个叫做张轩硕的男人倒是有些厉害，最初遭遇高级震慑的时候，眼中闪过一丝恐惧，转身就逃。
既然双方已经交手，卫小北自然是不会放过此人，给自己留下隐患。 之前那点企图夺取对方宝物的愧疚感也在对方的主动攻击中消失殆尽。
一拍腰间，那缠绕在腰间的大枪就犹如一道闪电，转眼之间蹿出。
眼看，锐利无比的枪尖就要贯穿对方，谁想知，这张轩硕竟然看都不看一眼，转身就是一刀，那当康之牙随即便劈在了枪尖之上，使得大枪骤然弹飞起来。
说实话，除了师父，师兄之外。 卫小北还是第一次遇到这样强悍的对手。
这并不是说对方单纯的属性实力强悍，而是指对方的刀术厉害。
卫小北是知道的。 其原本起源来自于中国唐朝双手刀法的腰击式，其身步手剑疾若迅雷！
之后传入东瀛。
从而成为东瀛刀术里的主要技法之一。 其主要是以拔刀出鞘为起始状态而展开攻击的剑术刀法。
这种拔刀术极为隐蔽，很适合偷袭，出手狠辣无比，大有一去不复返之势。 讲究一击命中，若是失了先手，那么这拔刀术就有些不太好用了。
不管怎么说，这张轩硕能够反手一刀劈中枪尖，这份刀术的实力，已经是很罕见了。
面对这样强劲的对手，卫小北压根就没有半分害怕，心头反倒是兴奋无比。
在一刀将卫小北大枪劈飞的同时，那张轩硕已是转身扑来，当康之牙收回腰间，做持刀状，却隐隐给了卫小北一丝威胁。
劈！
卫小北双手一压枪杆，大枪随即便犹如泰山压顶，朝着那张轩硕当头劈了下去。
面对卫小北再度出击，张轩硕眼中有些凝重。
之前卫小北高级震慑着实将他震慑了一把，如果不是他拥有的一种特殊能力将高级震慑所带来的惊恐效果驱散的话，恐怕就这么一下，他就挂掉了。
相对于他给卫小北带去的兴奋而言，卫小北给张轩硕带来的却是重压！
自从进入灰界之后，凭借着自己的头脑和努力乃至于天降的机遇，张轩硕自认算得上实力强大，在现实里，他凭借着自己的医术开了一家私人医院，也是财名双收。
也就是说，张轩硕不管在灰界还是在现实，都称得上春风得意了。
可今天，自己刚刚将那伪巴蛇蜒草盗取到手，就被人盯上了。
或许是之前就盯上了。
可惜自己刚刚找到的当康之牙，没有时间研磨成刀，否则的话，自己的战力将会提升数倍以上！
不管怎么说！
这个白面小子必须死！
拔刀术！
面对卫小北直劈而下的大枪，这张轩硕非但没有后退，反倒是迎着大枪就冲了上去。
腰间的当康之牙犹如一把长刀骤然挥出，倒卷而上。 如同刑天当年对战天帝时的壮烈。
就算是卫小北在心里都不得不赞叹这个张轩硕。
这东瀛拔刀术之前就说过了，称得上阴险狠辣这四个字，可在这张轩硕手中使出。 那完全就是换了一个风格。
同样的炉火纯青，卫小北自认自己的八极拳都达到不了这个程度。 当然。
这也是情有可原的话，恐怕这个张轩硕在拔刀术上投入的精力是卫小北数十倍以上！
要知道卫小北进入灰界的时间最多也就是半年罢了。
嘭！ 当康之牙与大枪枪头撞击在一起，再度将大枪弹起，之后，张轩硕一个箭步，就如同狂奔之中的公牛，瞬间就出现在卫小北面前，当康之牙就朝着卫小北再度刺下。
果然是高手！
卫小北在心头再度赞叹一声。 但脸色却没有丝毫变化，手中的大枪也没有因为对方逼近而弃手。
对卫小北来说，就这样想要自己弃枪，就有些可笑了。
卫小北暴喝一声，从口中喷出的音浪，以排山倒海之势将张轩硕淹没，震得其耳朵发麻，面目发胀，几乎都有些脑子空白了。
卫小北现在在炼气一道上，也不是初出茅庐的小子了。
暗劲上层高手这个名号放在卫小北头上。 算得上是名副其实了。
不管之前暗劲层次如何，只要全身经脉贯通，那至少就是暗劲上层的层次。
据说在抵达化劲较高的层次之后，武者便能够聚气成箭，张口喷出，攻击敌人。
卫小北虽说尚未达到这个层次。
嘭！
卫小北一脚便将张轩硕给踹了出去。
未料胜先料败！ 这是武者的座右铭。
没有任何一个武者敢说自己天下无敌。 世上的高手何其众多，卫小北也不敢说自己的属性探查就将这张轩硕给看透了。
因而手持大枪的卫小北一脚将其踹出。
以确保自身不受到对方逼近威胁，才是王道。
要知道，像张轩硕这样的拔刀术高手，一旦被其逼近，其出刀速度之快，是任何人都难以想象的。
说实话，如果不是这张轩硕手中仅仅只是一根尚未塑造成刀的当康之牙，压根就不合手的话，之前那一刀，指不定就刺中卫小北了。
张轩硕被卫小北当胸一脚踹出，自然是不好受的，倒飞出去，尚未落地便是一口热血喷出，并且胸口被踢之处，一片麻木之感缓缓蔓延开来。
卫小北这一脚可不是单纯的一脚将其踢出，而是将电流释放而出，从有些破洞的鞋子底部透出，再度让张轩硕吃了个暗亏。
反观卫小北，收腿之时，皱了皱眉头，与张轩硕接触的脚底传来了一股刺骨的寒冷，定睛一看，自己脚上的鞋子已经是凝结了一层薄冰！
好厉害的寒冰释放！
说实话，如果不是卫小北当时感觉有些不妙，随即收腿，并运气护住了脚底板，否则的话，恐怕这寒冰都会沿着小腿蔓延上来了。
猛力一蹬腿，薄冰尽数被震碎掉落，大枪一荡，化出数个枪花就朝着刚刚从地上跃起的张轩硕刺了下去。
到了这时，这张轩硕的实力算是得到了卫小北的全面认可，那么卫小北就得全力以赴！

Chapter 205 - Battojutsu VS Great Spear!
Chapter 205 – Battojutsu VS Great Spear!
If it was the Dust World, there should be many things in the bodies of water.
However, when he thought about other skills that he needed to unlock such skills as cooking, he felt his head ache.
In short, some matters can not be done in haste. Wei Xiao Bei had also trained quite a bit in this period of time.
When he was at home, he even removed his shame and asked to assist his mother in cooking to steal her techniques. After all, no matter what was said, he did not have the time to go to some culinary school to learn, so this was the best method he had left.
However, before his attempt was realized, he had been kicked out from the kitchen by his mother.
It must be known that his mother was a steady believer of ‘a nobleman stays clear of the kitchen’ rule. She believed that if men entered the kitchen they would lose their enterprising spirit. Thus, in the years of marriage, his father had never been into the kitchen even once.
No matter what was said, the cooking skill did not yet appear in Wei Xiao Bei’s status panel. This made him a bit puzzled and doubtful. Could it be that he simply had no innate talent? And, why did it still not appear?
When the man ran to his direction, Wei Xiao Bei hesitated.
If it was to steal the treasure, he did not want to play this hand.
Although he had been in the Dust World for such a long time and killed people and monsters alike, he still felt sorry deep inside when he truly encountered this kind of situation.
He had no choice in this due to his strict upbringing. Although he could be called mischievous when he was small, he had never done things that would go over the bounds of what was proper. The worst thing he had done in the past was to cook the neighbors’ goldfish and eat it and opening a small duck’s chest to try to find the hidden gold.
However, when he had matured, he had never stolen anything.
In his hesitation, the man ran over to his direction while gazing at him. The man could not help but be startled and slowed down.
However, in the next moment, the man’s eyes let out an ominous light. He pulled out the dagger and thrust it toward Wei Xiao Bei’s chest.
At the same time, Wei Xiao Bei also used [Status Appraisal] on the man.
Special Skills: Cold Release (This ability was obtained from a Millenium Ice Cicada. Lowest temperature is 190 degrees below zero) ???
Items on Hand: Small Holding Bag, Dang Kang’s Tusk, Fake Bashe’s Dragonfly Grass
Wei Xiao Bei immediately dodged the man’s attack and reactively released his [High Intimidation]!
In an instant, an invisible force spread through out the area with Wei Xiao Bei as the center.
Although the man named Zhang Xuan Shuo could be considered to be strong, terror immediately filled his eyes when the [High Intimidation] was activated, causing him to run.
Since they had already exchanged moves, Wei Xiao Bei would not let the man go and give himself a hidden danger. The previous guilt from the thought of stealing the opponent’s treasure had disappeared when his opponent attacked.
Wei Xiao Bei patted his waist, and the great spear shot out like lightning. Then he leapt up and chased after Zhang Xuan Shuo.
When the spear head appeared to have almost pierced the other side, who knew that Zhang Xuan Shuo did not even need to look. He turned around and slashed at it, diverting the trajectory of the spear with the Dang Kang’s Tusk. “Good!”
In truth, other than his master and apprentice brothers, this was the first time he encountered a strong opponent like this.
This did not mean that the opponent had high attributes, but rather the opponent had strong blade skills.
Wei Xiao Bei knew what the so-called Battojutsu was. The origin of this technique was from the Tang Dynasty’s two-handed sword techniques.
Afterwards, it was transmitted to Japan, becoming known as Battojutsu.
The main part of this technique was to unleash an attack by pulling the blade from the sheath.
This blade pull was extremely concealed and suited for sneak attacks. The move was very fierce. It focused on hitting with one strike. Missing would mean losing the initiative, so it was not easy to use.
No matter what was said, Zhang Xuan Shuo’s counterattack had hit the spear head and diverted it. This level of technique was rarely seen.
Facing this kind of strong opponent, Wei Xiao Bei was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he became excited.
When Zhang Xuan Shuo diverted the great spear, he turned around and jumped at Wei Xiao Bei. He placed the tusk on his waist again and entered a knife wielding stance to slightly threaten Wei Xiao Bei.
Chop!
Wei Xiao Bei tightened his grip on the great spear and immediately chopped toward the incoming Zhang Xuan Shuo.
Zhang Xuan Shuo became serious at Wei Xiao Bei’s attack.
Previously, Wei Xiao Bei’s [High Intimidation] had shaken him. If he did not have his special skill to reduce the effects of [High Intimidation], he would have already died.
Compared to the excitement he brought Wei Xiao Bei, what Wei Xiao Bei gave him was a heavy pressure!
Ever since he entered the Dust World, he relied on his head, hard work, and the heavenly opportunity to become strong. He believed that he was strong. Just his medical skills alone allowed him to open his own private hospital in the real world and earn a lot of money.
In other words, Zhang Xuan Shuo could be considered to be very successful in the real world and in the Dust World.
However, he had been marked by someone today after he stole the Fake Bashe’s Dragonfly Grass.
Perhaps he might have been marked even before that.
Unfortunately, he had just found the Dang Kang’s Tusk and had not yet processed it into a weapon. If he had, his fighting strength would be several times greater.
No matter what!
I must kill this boy!
Draw!
Facing Wei Xiao Bei’s directly attacking great spear, Zhang Xuan Shuo did not retreat. On the contrary, he faced the great spear head on.
The Dang Kang’s Tusk was suddenly pulled out and thrusted. It was like the hero Xing Tian who fought against the Celestial Emperor.
Even Wei Xiao Bei could not help but praise him in his heart.
Battojutsu could be described as dangerous and fierce. However, in Zhang Xuan Shuo’s hands, it gave off a different style. Heroic!
Wei Xiao Bei admits that his Bajiaquan could not reach this level even though they were on the same rank of perfection.
Naturally, this was pardonable. The amount of effort that Zhang Xuan Shuo placed on his Battojutsu should be more than 10 times the amount of effort Wei Xiao Bei placed on Bajiquan.
It must be known that Wei Xiao Bei had at most only been in the Dust World for half a year.
Bang! When the Dang Kang’s Tusk struck against the spear, the spear was once again diverted. Afterwards, Zhang Xuan Shuo strode forward like a running bull. He instantly appeared in front of Wei Xiao Bei and thrust his Dang Kang’s Tusk.
He truly is an expert!
Wei Xiao Bei once again praised him in his heart. However, his face did not change at all. He did not even discard his great spear at his opponent’s approach.
For Wei Xiao Bei, letting go of the great spear was a joke.
“Ha!” Wei Xiao Bei shouted. His overpowering voice flooded toward Zhang Xuan Shuo, making his ears numb and his eyes expand, as if he had blanked out.
Wei Xiao Bei was not a negative jing expert only in name but also in reality.
In truth, within the Guo Shu experts, most of them had reached this level and even approached the next level of jing, neutral jing.
As long as they successfully opened their meridians and blood channels then circulated Qi all over their bodies, they could reach approach the level of neutral jing, the level of having your entire body as the weapon and allow their bodies to gain a level of protection.
It was said that higher levels of neutral jing would allow a martial artists to even shoot out their Qi like an arrow or even spit it out from their mouths as an attack.
Although Wei Xiao Bei had not reached this level, his voice was enough to make Zhang Xuan Shuo suffer.
Bang!
Wei Xiao Bei kicked Zhang Xuan Shuo away.
This was the martial artist’s motto. No martial artist would dare claim that they were the strongest under heaven.
There were numerous experts around the world. Wei Xiao Bei would also not dare say that he had completely seen through Zhang Xuan Shuo’s status.
It must be known that there were hidden things in his status panel.
Thus, Wei Xiao Bei kicked him away to ensure that he would not receive the threat from close by.
It must be known that a high level of Battojutsu like Zhang Xuan Shuo’s would have a faster blade the closer they were.
In truth, if the tusk in Zhang Xuan Shuo’s hands was more knife shaped, then the previous thrust might have hit Wei Xiao Bei.
After being kicked, Zhang Xuan Shuo was sent flying. Before he even landed, a spray of blood came out from his mouth. Moreover, he felt numbness spread from the place he was kicked at.
Wei Xiao Bei’s kick was not a simple kick. It also had the power of electricity within it and came out from the hole underneath his shoes.
By contrast, when Wei Xiao Bei kicked and pulled back his leg, he frowned as he felt a piercing cold on the soles of his foot. He examined it and saw that a layer of ice had appeared under his shoes.
What a strong ability!
In truth, if Wei Xiao Bei had not felt the danger and quickly pulled back his leg, his soles would have probably been turned to ice.
With a fierce stomp, the ice had turned into fragments, and then he thrusted his weapon countless times at Zhang Xuan Shuo who had jumped up from the ground.
At this time, Zhang Xuan Shuo’s strength had already gained Wei Xiao Bei’s acknowledgement. So Wei Xiao Bei now gave it his all.

22.第22章
“那你先坐在这里等等，我进去禀告一声。”
掌柜见赫连薇薇点头了，才放心的去了后院。
书房里，学院聘用的几位大师，正在讨论着此次进院的新生里有哪些资质惊人，想要提前预定下，好收做入门弟子。
“老兄弟们，都别嚷嚷了，至尊还没说话呢，你们就这个争，那个夺的，有用吗？” 图天摇了摇头，吹着胡子喝了一口茶杯里热水。
至尊轻巧的往后一仰：“我还没见到称心的，你们继续，继续啊！”
“我说至尊吶，你到底想要一个什么样的徒弟，我看这个赫连娇儿就不错嘛，小小年纪武功修为已然是顶尖的了。” 有人把手头上的书卷拿了过来，指给至尊看。
至尊呵呵一笑，并没有说话，甚至连眼皮都没有掀一下，显然是赫连娇儿根本入不了他的眼。
就在这时，门外传来了一道略带激动的男低音：“至尊大师，商院掌柜李封求见！” “李封？”
至尊想不出来这个时候，他会有什么重要的事找自己，更何况现在又是学院里的大师们坐在一起互相讨论，就算是再重要的事，他也不该在这个时候前来打扰，这可不像平日里李封的作风：“你们坐着，我出去看看。”
至尊白眉微皱的起身，缓步走出了书房。
李封见了他之后，眼前一亮，就要行礼。
至尊摆了摆手，目光不冷不淡的看着他：“这个时候来找老夫，是想禀告什么？”
“大师，我刚刚收了一把冰魄！” 李封双眸放着光，怎么都抑制不住内心的兴奋。
然而，至尊却不以为然的扫了他一眼：“就这点事？” 在商院里收到冰魄很正常，太白学院不像是外面，高手很多，尤其是武修方面的高手，毫不夸张的说战龙帝国最厉害的武修大师们都在这个学院里。 “不，不是。”
“李封。”
至尊忍不住的打断了他：“诸位大师还在书房里，他们每一个人都能做出一把冰魄来，冰魄喜寒，你把它放在该放的地方就好，以后这种事就不必告诉我了。”
“可是那把冰魄并不是大师们做出来的，而是一个刚刚入院的新生啊！” 李封小声嘀咕着，本来以为对方听不见。
没想到正要迈开步子的至尊竟猛地将头回了过来，满脸震惊的瞪着他：“你说什么？
“是这样的，至尊大师，刚刚有个新生拿着一把冰魄进了商院，那姑娘差不多十五岁左右的年纪，还没有拜过师傅，那把冰魄完完全全是她一个人亲手做出来的，虽然用材不太好，可那确确实实是一把上好的冰魄。” 李封简单的把前因后果说了一遍。
至尊抬眸，那张老脸上是满满的不可置信。
怎么可能？
十五岁？
这么小的年纪，还没有经过任何人指导，就做出来了一把冰魄？
这是三十几岁的武修者都未必能达到修为啊，更何况她用的还是普通材料！
至尊像是想到了什么，道：“把冰魄拿过来，我看看。”
“是。” 李封双手腾起，把裹着黑布的长刀交到了他手里。
至尊扯开黑布，用指腹轻轻的在刀锋上一划，原本平静的瞳猛地一张，一下子就跌坐在了走廊的石墩上，整个人都说不出的震撼：“这不是冰魄，这是银魂！”
“银魂？” 李封还是第一次听说这个名字：“那是什么，大师是说我认错了？ 这把长刀并不怎么样？”
！” 至尊深深地吸了一口气，眸光发亮：“这是一把比冰魄还要精湛的武修，你应该知道冰魄在出鞘时，能冻结对手一定程度上的动作，而银魂，则是能够冻结对手的神经，比冰魄的战斗力要高出十倍好要多！”
闻言，李封惊讶的张大了嘴，他是觉得那姑娘很厉害，但是他没有想过她会这么厉害！
有了上次的经验，至尊回过神来第一件事，就拽着李封的衣领问：“那位姑娘呢？ 她在哪里？
千万可别像图天那个老糊涂什么都忘了问啊！
李封一呆：“我，我忘了问她的姓名了。”
“你！ 你们！ 哎！”
至尊恨铁不成钢的咬了咬牙。
砰！
正在喝着茶水的赫连薇薇被突如其来的踹门声吵的抬起了眸。
门口处站着一个身着白色圣袍的老者，暖光拂照，银发苍苍，按照道理来说，这是个挺有上仙气息的出场，但老者一说话，就把所有的气息都给吹没了：“你就是做出银魂来的那个丫头？”
“如果你口中的银魂说的是那把长刀的话，确实是我做的。” 赫连薇薇把茶杯放下，神色淡然。
至尊眼前一亮，大步走了过来，握住她的手：“丫头，为师终于等到你了！”
为师？ 等到你了？
赫连薇薇看着老者的动作，嘴角抽了抽。
“哈哈，女人，你什么时候多了个这么热情的师傅？”
赫连薇薇扶额，她也想知道，这个老逗比是哪里来的。
“老爷爷，我想你认错人了，我没有师傅。”
无奈，至尊太执着：“不，我没有认错，为师十分确定你就是为师要等的那个人！”
“女人，你确定那老头不是在占你的便宜？” 原冥简直就是个战争挑拨者，就盼望着能好好的打一架，虽然欺负老人有点过分，但这老人也太欠揍了一点吧，冲上来就摸手！

Chapter 22
Misty Cloud “Please first sit here and wait while I go and report to them.”
The steward saw Helian Wei Wei nod before he went, reassured, to the back courtyard.
In the study, the Armament Masters that the academy employed were discussing about which of the new students had great potential, wanting to call dibs on them first.
“Brothers, stop shouting, the Grandmaster hasn’t even said anything, and you’re all fighting for this, snatching away that. Is it effective?” Tu Tian shook his head and blew in his beard while sipping the hot tea from his teacup.
The Grandmaster leaned back slightly. “I haven’t yet seen anyone whom I’m satisfied with, so go on, continue!
“Actually… Grandmaster, what type of disciple do you want? I think this Helian Jiao Er is pretty good, she has already reached a peak cultivation at her young age.” Someone passed over a scroll over, pointing at the top to the Grandmaster.
The Grandmaster chuckled, not saying anything, not even opening his eyes. Obviously Helian Jiao Er wasn’t good enough in his eyes.
At that moment, an excited man’s low voice came from outside the door, “Grandmaster, the shopkeeper of the Business Plaza, Li Feng, requested to see you!”
“Li Feng?” The Grandmaster couldn’t think of anything that would make Li Feng come and find him, especially since the masters are currently having a discussion. No matter how important the issue was, he wouldn’t disturb them. This obviously wasn’t the usual Li Feng’s way, “You all stay here, I’ll go see what the problem is.”
The Grandmaster frowned while getting up, before he strolled out from the study.
When Li Feng saw him, his eyes sparkled and he walked up to greet him.
But the Grandmaster waved his hand,looking expressionlessly at him, “Coming to see me at this time, do you have something important to report?”
“Grandmaster, I just received a Soul of Ice sword!” Li Feng’s eyes were sparkling as he couldn’t do anything to control the excitement in his heart.
And yet, the Grandmaster disapprovingly glanced at him, “Just this little matter?” It was very normal to receive a Soul of Ice in the Business Plaza. After all, White Academy was not like the other schools, there was a lot of masters in the academy, especially Armament Masters. He wouldn’t even be exaggerating to say that all the great Armament Masters in the Dragon War Empire were all in this academy.
“N….no” Li Feng gulped, as if he was trying to find excuses, “That Soul of Ice…”
“Li Feng.” The Grandmaster can’t help but cut him off, ” The masters are all still in the study. They could all make a Soul of Ice, these types of weapon like the cold. Just put it where it should be. In the future you won’t have to tell me about these trivial matters.”

This sword was completely made by her, even though the materials used were not of very high quality, but it’s really a great Soul of Ice.” Li Feng quickly told him.
The Grandmaster raised his head, his face full of disbelief.
How could it be?
Fifteen years old?
That young, without anyone instructing her, and she made a Soul of Ice?
Even a thirty years old Cultivator might not even able to do that, not to mention she used normal materials!
The Grandmaster seemed to have thought of something. He said impatiently: “Let me see the sword.”
“Yes.” Li Feng raised both of his hand, handing over the blade that was covered with a black cloth.
The Grandmaster ripped open the black cloth. He softly ran his finger over the blade when his eyes widened. He suddenly fell sitting on the hallway’s rocky step, his entire person full of shock, ” This blade is not a Soul of Ice, but a Silver Spirit!”
“Silver Spirit?” That was the first time Li Feng had ever heard of it, “What is that, Grandmaster, did I thought wrong? This blade isn’t actually good?”
“NO!!!” The Grandmaster took a deep breath, his eyes shining, “This blade is much more exquisite than a Soul of Ice. You probably know that when you take a Soul of Ice off its sheath, it could freeze a certain portion of your enemy’s movement. As for a Silver Spirit, it could freeze your opponents nerves, it’s effectiveness is at least ten times better than a Soul of Ice!”
Li Feng’s jaw dropped after hearing it, he did think that the girl was gifted, but he didn’t expect that she was that amazing!
With last time’s experience, the first thing the Grandmaster did after he regained his wits was to grip onto Li Feng’s collar as he asked, “Then the girl ? Where’s the girl? Did you ask her for her name?”
[Please don’t be like that foolish Tu Lao, forgetting to ask anything!]
Li Feng was stunned, “I, I forgot to ask for her name.”
“You! You guys! Ugh!” The Grandmaster was exasperated at Li Feng’s mistake.
Without waiting for Li Feng to finish, the elder in front of him quickly turned, his long-sleeves fluttering as he ran straight towards the Business Plaza. Nobody could tell he was over a hundred years old with his speed, being a person of virtue and fame…
Bang!
Helian Wei Wei who was sipping tea raised her eyes when the sound of the door being kicked open reached her.
In front of the door stood an elderly man wearing a white gown. With the warm sunlight shining upon him and his ashy grey hair, his entrance was as if filled with celestial air. However the aura was quickly dimed when he began to speak. “You’re the girl who made the Silver Spirit sword?”
“If the Silver Spirit that you’re speaking of is that blade, then yes, I made it.” Helian Wei Wei calmly put down the tea cup, her expression calm and serene.
The Grandmaster’s eyes sparkled as he walked over to her before he holded her hand, ” Future Master has finally found you!”
Future Master? Found you?
Helian Wei Wei stared at the elder’s actions, her mouth twitching.
“Haha, Woman, when did you have such a passionate master?” Yuan Ming teasingly said.
Helian Wei Wei held her head, she also wanted to know from where this old funny guy had come from.
“Grandpa, I think you’re mistaken, I don’t have a master.” Saying this, Helian Wei Wei wanted to quickly get her hand back…
Helpless, the Grandmaster persisted, “No, I’m not wrong, Future Master is sure that you’re the person Future Master was waiting for!”
“Woman, are you sure that this old man isn’t trying to take advantage of you?” Yuan Ming was without doubt one who loved to provoke war, always hoping to have a good fight. Even though bullying the elderly was a bit mean, this elder here was clearly looking for a fight, immediately rushing up to touch her hands!

I’m sorry!\" Sensing Bloody’s notification, Lin Huang had to leave right away. Of course, Liang Qian knew that Lin Huang had been waiting in the desert for many days just for the monster. Although she had no idea what he was after, she smiled and nodded anyway.\n\"Go ahead then. Your matter is more important and you've been waiting for many days now. There’s nothing urgent on my side. I can handle myself.\"\n\"Okay, let’s get each other's contact number. I'll contact you after I’m done with my task. I'll try to make it to Du Feng’s and the rest’s funeral.\" After exchanging contacts, Lin Huang left.\nAs he exited the Hunter Association’s entrance, Lin Huang projected the map of Meteorite Desert immediately and asked Bloody, \"Where did you detect the Starlight Beast?\"\nBloody extended its twine and pointed at the map, then Lin Huang marked the coordinates immediately. He then summoned the Alexandrian Eagle and patted its back. \"Head northeast.\"\nThe Alexandrian Eagle flapped its wings and headed northeast.\nFour hours later, it landed at the destination. Lin Huang leaped off the Alexandrian Eagle's back and recalled it.\n\"Bloody, is the Starlight Beast still here?\" Lin Huang looked around. Aside from sand, he did not see anything else.\n\"It’s gone. It was killing another gold-level monster that appeared nearby four hours ago, according to one of my parasite hosts. After the killing was done, it left with the body. It was too fast, so my parasite's host did not manage to catch up with it,\" Bloody scrawled on the ground.\n\"If the hunting was done here, its nest should be nearby and not too far away,\" Lin Huang figured.\n\"Bloody, spread some of your pods here. We shall camp out here for a couple of days. Hopefully, we should be able to find something.\"\n\"There’s no need to do that. Let’s see if there’s an oasis around; it should be hiding there,\" Bloody wrote.\n\"In the oasis? Why would you say so? From what I remember, the monster encyclopedia never mentioned that the monster likes areas that are rich with plants,\" Lin Huang questioned.\n\"The monster encyclopedia had never mentioned that but the open desert isn’t suitable for it to hide in. Such a monster has pride and it wouldn’t want to hide in places such as caves. The only place that it could be possibly hiding would be an oasis,\" Bloody explained.\n\"That makes sense.\" After hearing Bloody’s explanation, Lin Huang projected again, enlarging the areas nearby looking for an oasis.\nSoon Lin Huang found out that there were three oases nearby. There was one in the north, one in the west and one in the northeast.\n\"Looking at the distance, the one in the west is nearest to the location we are currently standing in. However, the one in the north looks like it’s the biggest. There’s even a huge lake in the middle,\" Lin Huang observed the three locations he had found on the map.\n\"Let’s go to the north and see,\" Bloody suggested.\n\"Sure, let’s go to the north then,\" Lin Huang accepted Bloody’s suggestion.\nHe summoned the Alexandrian Eagle again and headed north. It was around 280 kilometers from the location that Lin Huang was standing at previously. In 20 minutes, the Alexandrian Eagle arrived at the destination and landed at the border of the oasis. It was big with lush greenery and it felt like there was a primitive jungle that had appeared in the desert out of nowhere.\nAfter recalling the Alexandrian Eagle, Lin Huang explored the jungle while looking at the map. Purple parasite pods were sprayed out from his sleeve into the jungle air. Following the directions, Lin Huang arrived at the lake after 10 minutes. He walked to the side of the lake and cupped the lake water with both his palms. He took a sip of the water after sniffing it.\n\"There’s nothing wrong with the water, it’s drinking water. This lake should be the water source of many monsters nearby,\" Lin Huang observed.\n\"Let’s stay here for awhile, I’m afraid we might catch the Starlight Beast’s attention if we go further in. Such a monster doesn’t like seeing humans. If it noticed me, it might run away. You might reveal yourself if you do mass parasitizing, so let’s spread your pods around here and get them to watch. If the Starlight Beast is really in this oasis, it'll definitely drink from this lake. We will get it then,\" Lin Huang said to Bloody.\nBloody nodded. It had not stopped spreading its pods ever since they entered the jungle. Lin Huang returned into the jungle and climbed up a big tree and sat on a branch. The tree was filled with overlapping leaves. From the bottom, nobody could see Lin Huang on top of the tree. As long as he did not make any noise, he would basically be undetectable. Just when he had settled down on the tree, he received a message. He looked at it immediately. It was a message from Liang Qian.\n\"Brother Ye, thank you for taking care of me for the past few days. If not for you, I would have been dead. Thank you for bringing back the bodies of Brother Du and the rest as well as bringing me to the forensic. As soon as my father knew about the attack, he came to get me. I’m at their graves retrieving their belongings and I will head back to Sakura City with my father. The funeral will be held in Sakura City as well. I don’t have the exact time yet, but I will contact you again once the time is confirmed.\"\n\"Sure, safe journey,\" Lin Huang gave her a simple reply. …\nIn the Meteorite Dessert, a young, short-haired man was digging the grave next to the withered tree while a serious middle-aged man stood beside Liang Qian. She received a reply from Lin Huang shortly after she sent the message. She looked at the message immediately.\n\"Who is that?\" The middle-aged man next to her frowned.\n\"Brother Ye,\" Liang Qian replied without even lifting her head up.\n\"Oh, is he the one who saved you a few days back?\" The man's frown deepened even more.\n\"Try not to contact him anymore,\" he added.\n\"Why not?\" Liang Qian was puzzled and looked at her father.\n\"I suspect his identity is fake. He told you that he killed the two Saint members with the assistance of the Hunter Association. From what I know, although the Hunter Association was hunting down the two members, none of them encountered the both of them.\"\n\"The most skeptical thing is the way the two members died. Their bodies were found and the post-mortem report showed that the younger member was killed by the bearded Saint member.\"\n\"I think this Ye Xiu guy is trying to approach you with bad intentions.\" The man looked at Liang Qian with all seriousness.\n\"I don’t think so. Even if he’s using a fake identity, I believe he has his own reasons. I’m also using a fake identity, so according to your logic, I’m a bad person as well. As for the cause of death, the two members might have been killed with spells. There're many people who could do that, so what makes you think that Brother Ye is capable of doing that?\" Liang Qian insisted to speak from Lin Huang’s perspective.\n\"You…\" The man was upset. \"Dad, stop fighting over this with her. If they start dating, I'll watch them,\" the short hair man who was digging shouted.\n\"This girl is spoilt rotten by you!\" yelled the middle-aged man and he stopped arguing with Liang Qian.\nLiang Qian did not say anything about her brother’s suggestion. She knew that her father and brother were concerned for her. Soon, all the belongings in the sand were dug out and stored properly.\n\"Is there anything left behind?\" Liang Qian was worried.\n\"I have checked three times, don’t worry about it,\" replied the short hair man.\n\"Alright then…\" Liang Qian nodded. Seeing that the man was drenched in sweat, she did not want him to continue digging.\n\"Let’s go home then,\" said the middle-aged man and he summoned a blue dimensional relic. The three of them entered it and after the door was closed, they disappeared…"

第255章
接到血色这边的反馈，林煌也不得不离开了。 梁倩当然也知道，林煌在沙漠里守了这么多天，就是为了守一只猎物，虽然她并不清楚林煌要捕杀的是什么，但还是笑着点头，“那就赶紧去吧，你的事情要紧，你都等了好多天了。
我这边又不是什么要紧的事情，我自己也能处理。” “嗯，加个通讯号吧，等我忙完联系你。
杜峰他们的葬礼，我会尽量到场的。” 林煌说完，两人互加了通讯号，他这才离开。
一走出猎人协会的大门，林煌立即投影出了陨星沙漠的地图，询问血色，“发现瞬星兽的坐标在哪里？”
血色伸出一根蔓藤，点在了地图上，林煌立即将那一点的坐标位置进行了标记。
紫眼白雕立即振翅而起，朝着西北方向疾驰而去。
四个多小时后，紫眼白雕降落在了目的地，林煌翻身下来，然后将紫眼白雕收回。
“血色，那只瞬星兽还在吗？” 林煌朝着四周张望了一番，入目之处除了遍地黄沙别无他物，并没有任何发现。
“已经不在这里了，四个小时之前，它在捕杀另外一只黄金境的怪物的时候出现在附近，被我的一只寄生体发现。 捕杀完成之后，它就立即带着尸体离开了。
血色在沙地上写道。 “在这里捕食的话，那它的巢穴应该就在附近，不会距离太远。”
“血色，你在这附近再寄生一些怪物吧，我们就在这里等几天，应该能发现一些蛛丝马迹的。”
“不用那么麻烦，你看看附近有没有绿洲，它应该就藏身在附近的绿洲之中。”
“在绿洲里？ 你的判断依据是什么，我的印象中，怪物图鉴上好像没有写过陨星兽喜欢植物茂盛的区域吧。”
林煌有些奇怪道。 “怪物图鉴上确实没写过，但沙漠这种开阔地带并不适合藏身，星灵种性格都高傲，不会屑于躲藏在沙地洞穴这些地方，它们唯一可能藏身的区域就只有树木茂盛的绿洲。”
“有道理。” 看到血色给出的解释，林煌立即开了地图，放大了附近的区域，找寻起绿洲来。
地图放大之后，林煌很快发现附近有三块绿洲区域，正北面有一个，西面有一个，还有东北方向也有一个。
但是北面那个绿洲面积看上去最大，中央区域还有一个大湖泊。” 林煌仔细观察了一番地图上这三块绿洲。
“去北面看看。” 血色提议道。
再次召唤出了紫眼白雕，一路朝着北面的那片绿洲疾驰而去。
北面的那片绿洲，距离林煌之前站立的位置大概二百八十公里左右，紫眼白雕只用了二十分钟左右就抵达了目的地，在绿洲的边缘降落下来。 这一片绿洲面积很大，树木相当繁茂，简直就像是沙漠里突然多出来的一片原始密林。
将紫眼白雕再次收回，林煌打开了地图，迈步走入了密林之中。 他的袖口处，一颗颗紫色寄生种子不断逸散出来，飘在了密林的半空之中，朝着四处散布开去。
“水质没有问题，这水是可以饮用的，这个大湖应该也是附近不少怪物的饮水地。”
瞬星兽这种怪物，并不喜欢见到人类，如果它发现我极有可能会逃走。 大规模寄生也有可能会引起怀疑，你就在湖泊周围区域寄生一些怪物当眼线，那只瞬星兽如果真的在这片绿洲里，它就肯定需要来这片湖泊区域喝水，到时候肯定就会被发现。” 血色点了点头，它一直都没有停止释放寄生种子。
这颗大树的叶子非常茂盛，而且层层叠叠，在下面根本看不到上面的林煌。 只要他不发出声音，基本上不太可能会被发现。 林煌刚在树上藏好，通讯器突然传来一道消息提示。
也谢谢你将杜大哥他们的尸体带回来，还陪我去法医室。 我父亲得知我遇袭的消息，亲自过来接我了。 我现在在几位前辈的衣冠冢这里取遗物，稍后我就会和父亲一起回落樱城。
“好的，路上注意安全。”
林煌简单的回复了一句。 陨星沙漠，巅峰小队衣冠冢所在的枯树旁，一名短发青年正在挖掘沙地，另外一名容貌威严的中年男子站在梁倩的身旁。
一旁的中年男子眉头微皱，“谁啊？”
“叶大哥。” 梁倩头也不回地回答道。
“哦，就是前几天救你那人吧？”
中年男子听了眉头皱得更紧了，“那人你少跟他来往。”
“为什么？” 梁倩有些诧异地朝着自己的父亲看了过来。
“那人的身份，我怀疑是假的。 他跟你说，他是受到了猎人协会的援助才击杀的那两名圣徒成员。 而据我所知，猎人协会那边虽然出动了人追杀那两名圣徒成员，但是没有任何人与那两人遭遇。”
“最可疑的是那两名圣徒成员的死法，他们的尸体已经被人找到了，也已经做完了尸检。 但尸检结果显示，年纪轻的那名圣徒是被那名留胡子的圣徒所杀，而那名留胡子的圣徒成员是自杀。”
“那个叫叶修的家伙，处处透着邪门，我怀疑他是在不怀好意地故意接近你。” 中年男子脸色严肃地看向了梁倩。
“我不信，就算叶大哥用的是假身份，他也肯定是有苦衷的。 我用的也是假身份，按照老爹你的逻辑，那我也不是好人了。 至于你所说的死因，那两人中了幻术也是有可能的。
“老爹，你就不用跟她争这个话题了，大不了这丫头以后跟那个叶修在一起的时候，我在场监督就行了。”
正在挖沙子的短发青年突然抬头冲着这个方向喊道。 “这丫头就是被你惯坏了！”
中年男子朝着他喝道，但也没有再跟梁倩争执这个话题。 梁倩也默认了自己哥哥的提议，她也知道，自己的父亲和哥哥都是在担心自己。
“没落下什么吧？” 梁倩问道。
“都翻了三遍了，放心好了。” 短发青年满脸无奈道。
“好吧……”梁倩这才点头，她也看到短发青年一头大汗，也不忍心让他继续挖掘下去。
“那我们就回家吧。” 中年男子说着，召唤出来一扇蓝色的空间传送大门。 推开大门之后，三人鱼贯而入。

Chapter 255 Suspicious Identity
"Liang Qian, my summoning monster has detected the monster that I’m hunting down. I need to make a move. I’m sorry!" Sensing Bloody’s notification, Lin Huang had to leave right away. Of course, Liang Qian knew that Lin Huang had been waiting in the desert for many days just for the monster. Although she had no idea what he was after, she smiled and nodded anyway.
"Go ahead then. Your matter is more important and you've been waiting for many days now. There’s nothing urgent on my side. I can handle myself."
"Okay, let’s get each other's contact number. I'll contact you after I’m done with my task. I'll try to make it to Du Feng’s and the rest’s funeral." After exchanging contacts, Lin Huang left.
As he exited the Hunter Association’s entrance, Lin Huang projected the map of Meteorite Desert immediately and asked Bloody, "Where did you detect the Starlight Beast?"
Bloody extended its twine and pointed at the map, then Lin Huang marked the coordinates immediately. He then summoned the Alexandrian Eagle and patted its back. "Head northeast."
The Alexandrian Eagle flapped its wings and headed northeast.
Four hours later, it landed at the destination. Lin Huang leaped off the Alexandrian Eagle's back and recalled it.
"Bloody, is the Starlight Beast still here?" Lin Huang looked around. Aside from sand, he did not see anything else.
"It’s gone. It was killing another gold-level monster that appeared nearby four hours ago, according to one of my parasite hosts. After the killing was done, it left with the body. It was too fast, so my parasite's host did not manage to catch up with it," Bloody scrawled on the ground.
"If the hunting was done here, its nest should be nearby and not too far away," Lin Huang figured.
"Bloody, spread some of your pods here. We shall camp out here for a couple of days. Hopefully, we should be able to find something."
"There’s no need to do that. Let’s see if there’s an oasis around; it should be hiding there," Bloody wrote.
"In the oasis? Why would you say so? From what I remember, the monster encyclopedia never mentioned that the monster likes areas that are rich with plants," Lin Huang questioned.
"The monster encyclopedia had never mentioned that but the open desert isn’t suitable for it to hide in. Such a monster has pride and it wouldn’t want to hide in places such as caves. The only place that it could be possibly hiding would be an oasis," Bloody explained.
"That makes sense." After hearing Bloody’s explanation, Lin Huang projected again, enlarging the areas nearby looking for an oasis.
Soon Lin Huang found out that there were three oases nearby. There was one in the north, one in the west and one in the northeast.
"Looking at the distance, the one in the west is nearest to the location we are currently standing in. However, the one in the north looks like it’s the biggest. There’s even a huge lake in the middle," Lin Huang observed the three locations he had found on the map.
"Let’s go to the north and see," Bloody suggested.
"Sure, let’s go to the north then," Lin Huang accepted Bloody’s suggestion.
He summoned the Alexandrian Eagle again and headed north. It was around 280 kilometers from the location that Lin Huang was standing at previously. In 20 minutes, the Alexandrian Eagle arrived at the destination and landed at the border of the oasis. It was big with lush greenery and it felt like there was a primitive jungle that had appeared in the desert out of nowhere.
After recalling the Alexandrian Eagle, Lin Huang explored the jungle while looking at the map. Purple parasite pods were sprayed out from his sleeve into the jungle air. Following the directions, Lin Huang arrived at the lake after 10 minutes. He walked to the side of the lake and cupped the lake water with both his palms. He took a sip of the water after sniffing it.

Bloody nodded. It had not stopped spreading its pods ever since they entered the jungle. Lin Huang returned into the jungle and climbed up a big tree and sat on a branch. The tree was filled with overlapping leaves. From the bottom, nobody could see Lin Huang on top of the tree. As long as he did not make any noise, he would basically be undetectable. Just when he had settled down on the tree, he received a message. He looked at it immediately. It was a message from Liang Qian.
"Brother Ye, thank you for taking care of me for the past few days. If not for you, I would have been dead. Thank you for bringing back the bodies of Brother Du and the rest as well as bringing me to the forensic. As soon as my father knew about the attack, he came to get me. I’m at their graves retrieving their belongings and I will head back to Sakura City with my father. The funeral will be held in Sakura City as well. I don’t have the exact time yet, but I will contact you again once the time is confirmed."
"Sure, safe journey," Lin Huang gave her a simple reply. …
In the Meteorite Dessert, a young, short-haired man was digging the grave next to the withered tree while a serious middle-aged man stood beside Liang Qian. She received a reply from Lin Huang shortly after she sent the message. She looked at the message immediately.
"Who is that?" The middle-aged man next to her frowned.
"Brother Ye," Liang Qian replied without even lifting her head up.
"Oh, is he the one who saved you a few days back?" The man's frown deepened even more.
"Try not to contact him anymore," he added.
"Why not?" Liang Qian was puzzled and looked at her father.
"I suspect his identity is fake. He told you that he killed the two Saint members with the assistance of the Hunter Association. From what I know, although the Hunter Association was hunting down the two members, none of them encountered the both of them."
"The most skeptical thing is the way the two members died. Their bodies were found and the post-mortem report showed that the younger member was killed by the bearded Saint member."
"I think this Ye Xiu guy is trying to approach you with bad intentions." The man looked at Liang Qian with all seriousness.
"I don’t think so. Even if he’s using a fake identity, I believe he has his own reasons. I’m also using a fake identity, so according to your logic, I’m a bad person as well. As for the cause of death, the two members might have been killed with spells. There're many people who could do that, so what makes you think that Brother Ye is capable of doing that?" Liang Qian insisted to speak from Lin Huang’s perspective.
"You…" The man was upset. "Dad, stop fighting over this with her. If they start dating, I'll watch them," the short hair man who was digging shouted.
"This girl is spoilt rotten by you!" yelled the middle-aged man and he stopped arguing with Liang Qian.
Liang Qian did not say anything about her brother’s suggestion. She knew that her father and brother were concerned for her. Soon, all the belongings in the sand were dug out and stored properly.
"Is there anything left behind?" Liang Qian was worried.
"I have checked three times, don’t worry about it," replied the short hair man.
"Alright then…" Liang Qian nodded. Seeing that the man was drenched in sweat, she did not want him to continue digging.
"Let’s go home then," said the middle-aged man and he summoned a blue dimensional relic. The three of them entered it and after the door was closed, they disappeared…

"value": "Chapter 0026 – Formless Creation\nEven if Ning Cheng’s mind was very tough, and even if his memory and comprehension ability also were incomparable to others, because so much information entered his mind, it made even him not able to adapt quickly enough to it. For a moment, Ning Cheng felt his brain was about to explode, the pain was simply intolerable.\nFortunately, over time, he knew that he could gradually sort out the matter. The place he was at, apparently was the inside of a bead, this bead was called the Mysterious Yellow Bead.\nThe Mysterious Yellow Bead was an object which could split the heavens and the earth and its full name was Good Fortune Mysterious Yellow Bead. Furthermore, there were four other magical treasure Artefacts on the same level as the Good Fortune Mysterious Yellow Bead, they were the Good Fortune Green Lotus, Good Fortune Jade Plate, Good Fortune Gold Leaf and the Good Fortune Indestructible Axe.\nThe rest of the sixteen previous owners of the Mysterious Yellow Bead obtained the bead when they already had some small accomplishments in their cultivation, therefore they were not able to make the Mysterious Yellow Bead recognize them as its genuine master and so they were not able to enjoy the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s blessing. They were only able to get the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s Qi assistance which was specific to only to the Mysterious Yellow Bead.\nThe Mysterious Yellow Bead was a world in itself, it could produce the Mysterious Yellow Qi, by using which cultivators could not only improve their Spiritual Consciousness but also their Spiritual Root, it even automatically corrects the deviations of cultivator’s martial techniques. Moreover, the cultivating speed would be dozens or even hundreds of times more than the other cultivators. Not only that, spending long time in cultivating The Mysterious Yellow Qi could make one unequalled and without rival…….\nNing Cheng was quivering with excitement, but now he was fully awake. He was already extremely intelligent; then how could he not know about what he had obtained? He had obtained the Mysterious Yellow Bead, and this Mysterious Yellow Bead was able to produce the Mysterious Yellow Qi in unlimited quantity, if one was able to access it.\nWhat was the Mysterious Yellow Qi, he originally didn’t know, but now his mind already had a plethora of information coming in like a herd of frightened cows, this let him clearly understand early on what the Mysterious Yellow Qi in the Mysterious Yellow Bead was.\n“No wonder, the last time, in front of the Spiritual Root Testing Artefact, my Spiritual Root changed from a muddy yellow colour to a pale yellow colour, as it turns out, it actually because of the Mysterious Yellow Qi and was simply not my Spiritual Qi….” Ning Cheng’s heart was brimming to the full with astonishment and ecstasy, he knew that this bead was not an ordinary thing.\nNing Cheng was even more incomparably astonished from the information that he had received from within the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he almost could not believe that he had such a good luck.\nNing Cheng, at this moment, had completely forgotten that he was still within the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he was whole-heartedly thinking of ways to exploit this Mysterious Yellow Bead.\nIf Ning Cheng hadn’t obtained the information regarding the unrivalled rank of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he might have blindly believed that this Mysterious Yellow Bead was indeed unrivalled without any peers. But the information he had obtained made him feel somewhat disdained towards this unrivalled rank. Because the previous seventeen people who had obtained this Mysterious Yellow Bead were all beheaded. If it really was of an unrivalled rank, moreover even had ‘Good Fortune’ in its name, how could those people have been killed easily?\nHe believed the information about the bead being unrivalled was left by the first true owner of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, otherwise how could it, on one side be unrivalled and on other side, let its owner get beheaded easily.\nNing Cheng did not know, that this information was only available to him, because he was the first genuine master of the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Other people may have obtained the Mysterious Yellow Bead in the past, but the information regarding the unrivalled rank of the Mysterious Yellow Bead was not provided to them by the Mysterious Yellow Bead, rather only by absorbing the Mysterious Yellow Qi which gave birth to their confidence.\nNing Cheng did not understand the meaning of the Bead’s Origin, but it didn’t mean that he didn’t comprehend that the Mysterious Yellow Bead could correct the Cultivation Methods with the help of the Mysterious Yellow Qi.\nThe Ning Clan’s Cultivation Method clearly couldn’t satisfy his current needs, He wanted to find a type of Cultivation Method which suited him through the means of the Mysterious Yellow Qi. Or, he could go find a high level Cultivation Method and correct it with the help of the Mysterious Yellow Bead.\nNing Cheng began to seek for information within his mind, he wanted to find a Cultivation Method which suited him. It was reasonable to say that since he was not the first owner of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, it was certain the predecessors would have left behind some information regarding Cultivation Methods.\nHowever, even after half a day, Ning Cheng still didn’t find any information regarding Cultivation Methods, he was merely able to find a six-character Cultivation Method incantation, “Mysterious Yellow Formless Creation”.\nNing Cheng did not understand what this “Mysterious Yellow Formless Creation” meant, even though his comprehension ability was one which went against the heavens, plus he was also bathed by the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s Origin and it was clear to understand. But in just a short period of time, Ning Cheng was only able to figure out what Mysterious Yellow Creation and Mysterious Yellow Formless were, but that alone was enough to shock him and had almost stood up.\nMysterious Yellow Creation, this made it so that if he come in contact with any kind of martial techniques, Magic Techniques, and through the means of cultivating within the Mysterious Yellow Bead, it could correct them and could also make them even more formidable. Although, Ning Cheng was aware of this point but he didn’t feel anything much.\nWhat genuinely shocked Ning Cheng was the Mysterious Yellow Formless, this was the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s genuine Cultivation Method. This ‘Mysterious Yellow Formless’ was a special type of Cultivation Method, not only did it vary from person to person but also differed due to time and place. This was a type of transforming Cultivation Method, one could use the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s technique correction, but yet one could not always obtain a transforming Cultivation Method.\nA Cultivation Method that could change at all times depending on the cultivators need, this was the genuine way of the heavens and earth, also called Mysterious Yellow Formless. Only by having the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s Origin, could one get the true Mysterious Yellow Formless. In other words, apart from Ning Cheng, all the previous owners only knew about Mysterious Yellow Creation.\nNing Cheng could not help being shocked, and stood up. With Mysterious Yellow Formless, he would simply not need any other Cultivation Methods, this practically was a Cultivation Method of all the other Cultivation Methods. As long as he wanted to cultivate, the Mysterious Yellow Bead would automatically provide pointers and even modify the Cultivation Method to suit his needs. All he had to do was, on one hand, absorb the Spiritual Qi and on other hand, cultivate according to the pointers provided by the Mysterious Yellow Bead.\nBefore Ning Cheng hadn’t cultivated, so his contact with the practice of cultivation was a short one when compared to his peers, even though he had reached Qi Gathering 4th Level, it was without anyone guiding him. If one must say that someone guided him, then that guide was the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Granted, he was not at all clear on this Mysterious Yellow Bead, but from the information he received from within it, he knew that it went against the heavens and also knew how terrifying its ability was first hand.\nMysterious Yellow Formless and Mysterious Yellow Creation, what could these methods accomplish? If this Mysterious Yellow Bead was so difficult to deal with, what about the other Good Fortune Treasures, were they also as difficult to deal with as the Mysterious Yellow Bead?\nCurrently only Mysterious Yellow Creation met his needs. But at this moment Ning Cheng felt a strong pressure, he became surprised and felt uneasy, he began to look and analyse his surroundings. Only then did he discover, that the place where he was, was not big at all, merely several kilometres of circumference, and was surrounded by a yellow mist all around.\nHow do I get out of this place? Ning Cheng had only just thought of going out when, in the next moment, he was already standing inside the cave in which he was cultivating.\nIt was the same as the last time when he woke up after researching the Array Formation Methods, An Yi was still watching him. Only it was a bit different than last time, An Yi’s eyes this time had a shocked expression in them.\n“Just what’s going on?” Ning Cheng and An Yi asked each other at the same time.\nNing Cheng did not know what had happened after he entered the Mysterious Yellow Bead, An Yi seemed to have seen something, and he quickly asked again, “An Yi, what did you see just now? Will you tell me.”\n“I saw you disappear, and then in your place there was a pale yellow bead suspended in the air where you were and then you suddenly appeared again, what’s all this about?” An Yi asked as she was starting to panic.\nNing Cheng hesitated for a moment, he chose to believe in An Yi and said in a very solemn tone, “An Yi, I obtained a mysterious bead, it should be the one that you just saw. This bead is very precious, once people come to know about it, I would be killed immediately for it. So I think you should not tell anyone, not even your master………”\nNing Cheng was going to say that even if you and your master shared a close relationship, you must not say anything about it. But he immediately understood the relationship between him and An Yi, and it was far away from the relationship between An Yi and her master. Besides, An Yi’s master had died, even if An Yi wanted to share this information with her, she would not be able to.\nBut An Yi just prudently nodded, “I know it, you are my big brother, except my master, you are the only one dearest to me, I will not tell this to any other people.”\nNing Cheng was a little relieved, and then said, “This time I do not know how long have I been training, but unexpectedly I did not feel hungry, I estimate that I will be very hungry very soon…… Hey An Yi, did you also advance to the Qi Gathering 4th Level?”\nOnly at this point, Ning Cheng was able to discover that An Yi had also advanced to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, just like him, this really was a good thing for both of them.\nAn Yi finally showed a hint of a smile on her face and said, “Yes, Big Brother Ning, I have only used 3 Spirit Stones and was able to advance to the Qi Gathering 4th Level. When I had just woken up, I immediately saw a yellow bead in front of me.”\n“That’s really good, since we have Spirit Stones for our cultivation, our cultivation speed is definitely much faster……” Ning Cheng was pleasantly surprised when he said this, the effect of using a Spirit Stones was very good, he had more than 100 hundred of those, so why would he be afraid of not being able to advance?\n“But although you were also able to advance to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, but it seems the Spirit Stone’s effect on you is more……” An Yi said after she pointed to the Spirit Stone powder at the feet of Ning Cheng.\nNing Cheng discovered that he had nearly used up a hundred of the Spirit Stones that he had obtained for advancing from the Qi Gathering 3rd Level to the Qi Gathering 4th level, he had actually spent that much for the advancement.\nNing Cheng, in his heart was very shocked, it was too late to think about it carefully, and he hurriedly started to cultivate, he wanted to see if he could cultivate without using the Spirit Stones. This let him thoroughly down, without the Spirit Stones, although he could still feel the Mysterious Yellow Bead in his Dantian, but he was unable to cultivate.\n“What should I do now?” Ning Cheng was alarmed, he knew that he was very lucky in coming across the hundred pieces of Spirit Stones. But so many Spirit Stones were used up in advancing from the Qi Gathering 3rd level to the 4th level, how would he be able to continue practice from now?\nWith the help of this Mysterious Yellow Qi, his cultivation was indeed very fast, but it required a terrible amount of Spirit Stones for that.\nAn Yi suddenly said, “Here, Big Brother Ning, I have a few more dozen pieces of Spirit Stones, but I think we should first leave from this place. Before I saw the yellow bead, it seems that some of the light might have spilled outside, I fear that people might come to know about it, and would………”\n“Haha, …….really now, there really is something here.” They were able to hear a laugh coming from the outside, then a man with face full of scars appeared in front of Ning Cheng and An Yi at the entrance of the cave."

第二十六章
哪怕宁城的脑子再强悍，记忆力和理解能力再无人可比，如此多的信息纷涌而来，也让他无法适应。 一时间，宁城就感觉自己的大脑要爆炸了一般，根本无法忍受。
好在随着时间推移，他渐渐的可以理清楚自己到底是怎么回事。 他所处的地方，似乎只是一个珠子，这个珠子叫玄黄珠。
玄黄珠，开天辟地之物，全名叫造化玄黄珠。 与其同等层次的法宝还有另外四种，造化青莲、造化玉碟、造化金页、造化不灭斧。 玄黄珠经历的表面主人有十七位，修为最高的叫强襄。
强襄之所以能够修为最高，是因为强襄得到玄黄珠的时候，他还刚刚修炼，甚至还没有铸就根基。 其余的十六人得到玄黄珠的时候，因为都已经修炼有小成了，所以无法让玄黄珠真正的认主，也无法真正享受玄黄珠的造化福源。
玄黄珠是一方世界，可以孕育玄黄之气，修炼者在其中修炼不但会洗涤灵智和灵根，甚至会自动修正修炼者功法的偏差。 不但如此，修炼速度还是别人的数倍甚至数十上百倍。 宁城打了个激灵，他完全清醒过来。
他本来就聪慧无比，此时岂能不知道自己得到了什么东西？
他得到了玄黄珠，是可以孕育玄黄之气的玄黄珠。 玄黄之气是什么他本来不知道，可现在他脑海中涌来的信息却已经多如牛毛，早就让他清晰的明白了什么是玄黄珠。
“难怪上次测试的时候，灵根从浊黄提升到了黄-色，原来是玄黄之气，根本就不是什么灵气啊……”宁城内心充满了震惊和狂喜，他知道这个珠子绝对不是普通货。
随即宁城从玄黄珠中感受到的信息更是惊人无比，他几乎有些不敢相信自己有这么好的运气了。
宁城此时完全忘记了自己还在玄黄珠当中，他一心想着怎么才可以充分的利用玄黄珠。
但是另外一条信息，让他对这个同阶无敌有些不屑。 因为其余十七个得到玄黄珠的人，全部是被人斩杀的。
他认为这一条无敌信息肯定是第一个得到玄黄珠的人留下来的，否则怎么可能一边同阶无敌，一边就被人斩杀了。
宁城可不知道，这些信息只有他一个人得到了，因为他是第一个得到玄黄珠真正认主之人。 别人得到玄黄珠，认为同阶无敌并不是玄黄珠给出的信息，而是吸收玄黄之气后，自然而然生出来的信心。
宁城不明白本源的意思，却不代表他不明白在玄黄之气中修炼可以更正功法的意思。
宁家的修炼功法显然不能满足他的需要，他要通过玄黄之气寻找到一种更加适合自己修炼的功法。 或者他可以找到一种更为高级的修炼功法，然后通过玄黄之气来更正。
宁城开始在脑海中繁芜的信息里面寻找，他的本意是想要找到更加适合自己的修炼功法。 按理说这玄黄珠他不是第一个得到的，肯定有前人留下了一些修炼信息。
但是半天后，宁城并没有找到任何修炼信息，只是找到了一个修炼的六字真言，玄黄有形无相。
宁城并不明白什么是玄黄有形无相，他的理解能力本来就逆天无比，加上被玄黄珠本源洗涤，更是看的明白。 只是短短的时间，宁城就弄明白了什么是玄黄有形，什么是玄黄无相，他差点震惊的站了起来。
玄黄有形，是他可以接触任何功法、法术，然后通过在玄黄珠中修炼，将这种功法修正的更为强大。 这点，宁城早有察觉，倒是没觉得什么。
真正让宁城震惊的是玄黄无相，这才是玄黄珠真正的修炼功法。 玄黄无相的信息是，任何功法，不但因人而异，而且因时因地而异。 一个功法时时刻刻都在变化，你可以利用玄黄珠更改功法，但却不能得到时时刻刻变换的功法。
时时刻刻都在更改变换的功法，这才是真正的天地道法，也叫玄黄无相。 只有拥有玄黄本源，才能得到真正的玄黄无相。
玄黄无相，根本就是他不需要任何功法啊，这简直是没有功法的功法。 只要他想修炼的时候，玄黄珠自动给出修炼指向和修炼境界。 他要做的是，一边吸收灵气，一边根据玄黄指向去修炼。
宁城之前并没有修炼过，他接触修炼的时间并不长，虽然修炼到了聚气四层，却并没有人指导。 如果一定要说有人指导，那指导的也是玄黄珠。
就算是他什么都不懂，也清楚玄黄珠中得到的信息是多么的逆天，是多么的可怕。 有形无相啊，这是什么功法可以做到？
宁城强压住内心的惊喜和不安，开始打量他所在的地方。 此时他才发现，他所在的地方并不大，只有数千米的方圆，四周都是黄蒙蒙的一片。
这个地方应该怎么出去？ 宁城刚刚想到要出去，下一刻他已经站在了原来修炼的礁石洞之中。
和上次他从研究阵法中清醒过来一摸一样，安依还是盯着他。 不过和上次不同的是，安依眼里全是震撼。
“刚才是怎么回事？” 宁城和安依同时问出了这句话。
宁城不知道他进入玄黄珠后，安依看见的是什么，赶紧再次说道，“安依，你刚才看见了什么？ 你告诉我。”
“我看见你不见了，然后看见了一个淡黄-色的珠子悬浮在你所在的地方。 然后你又出现了，这是怎么回事？”
安依惊慌的问道。 宁城犹豫了片刻，他还是选择相信安依，他语气极为凝重的说道，“安依，我得到一个珠子，应该就是你刚才看见的那个。 这个珠子很珍贵，一旦被别人知道，我立即就要被杀。
宁城本来想说哪怕和你师父一样关系的人，你也不要说。 只是他立即就明白自己和安依的关系，远没有安依和她师父那样的关系。
安依却慎重的点点头，“我知道的，宁大哥你是除了我师父之外，我最亲的人了，我不会告诉别人的。”
宁城略微松了口气，然后说道，“我这一次闭关不知道多久了，竟然不觉得饿，估计是饿过头了……咦，安依，你也晋级到了聚气四层？”
直到此时，宁城才发现安依晋级了聚气四层，和他一样，这灵石果然是好东西。
安依终于露出了一丝笑意说道，“是啊，宁大哥，我只用了三枚灵石就晋级到聚气四层了。 我闭关醒来的时候，就看见眼前一个黄珠。”
“那太好了，以后我们有灵石修炼，那速度肯定是更快……”宁城惊喜的说道，灵石效果这么好，他有一百多枚，还怕不晋级？
“可是你晋级到聚气四级，用的灵石好像有些多……”安依指着宁城脚下的灵石粉末说了一句。
宁城这才发现他那近百枚灵石一枚都没有了，他从聚气三层晋级都四层，就用掉了一百多枚灵石。
宁城心里大惊，他来不及细想，赶紧运气修炼，想要看看没有灵石是不是还可以修炼。 让他失望的是，没有灵石他虽然还能感应到紫府中的玄黄珠，却已经无法修炼了。
宁城慌神了，他知道这一百多枚灵石来的是多么侥幸。 这么多灵石，只是让他从聚气三层到聚气四层，以后的修炼他要怎么过啊？
这玄黄之气修炼速度是快，可是这要求的灵石也太可怕了点。
安依忽然说道，“宁大哥，我这里还有十几枚灵石，不过我觉得我们应该先离开这里。 “哈哈……果然在这里，还真是有东西。”
一声大笑传来，随即一名满脸水锈的男子已经出现在了宁城和安依所在的礁石洞口。

Chapter 0026 – Formless Creation
Even if Ning Cheng’s mind was very tough, and even if his memory and comprehension ability also were incomparable to others, because so much information entered his mind, it made even him not able to adapt quickly enough to it. For a moment, Ning Cheng felt his brain was about to explode, the pain was simply intolerable.
Fortunately, over time, he knew that he could gradually sort out the matter. The place he was at, apparently was the inside of a bead, this bead was called the Mysterious Yellow Bead.
The Mysterious Yellow Bead was an object which could split the heavens and the earth and its full name was Good Fortune Mysterious Yellow Bead. Furthermore, there were four other magical treasure Artefacts on the same level as the Good Fortune Mysterious Yellow Bead, they were the Good Fortune Green Lotus, Good Fortune Jade Plate, Good Fortune Gold Leaf and the Good Fortune Indestructible Axe.
The rest of the sixteen previous owners of the Mysterious Yellow Bead obtained the bead when they already had some small accomplishments in their cultivation, therefore they were not able to make the Mysterious Yellow Bead recognize them as its genuine master and so they were not able to enjoy the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s blessing. They were only able to get the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s Qi assistance which was specific to only to the Mysterious Yellow Bead.
The Mysterious Yellow Bead was a world in itself, it could produce the Mysterious Yellow Qi, by using which cultivators could not only improve their Spiritual Consciousness but also their Spiritual Root, it even automatically corrects the deviations of cultivator’s martial techniques. Moreover, the cultivating speed would be dozens or even hundreds of times more than the other cultivators. Not only that, spending long time in cultivating The Mysterious Yellow Qi could make one unequalled and without rival…….
Ning Cheng was quivering with excitement, but now he was fully awake. He was already extremely intelligent; then how could he not know about what he had obtained? He had obtained the Mysterious Yellow Bead, and this Mysterious Yellow Bead was able to produce the Mysterious Yellow Qi in unlimited quantity, if one was able to access it.
What was the Mysterious Yellow Qi, he originally didn’t know, but now his mind already had a plethora of information coming in like a herd of frightened cows, this let him clearly understand early on what the Mysterious Yellow Qi in the Mysterious Yellow Bead was.
“No wonder, the last time, in front of the Spiritual Root Testing Artefact, my Spiritual Root changed from a muddy yellow colour to a pale yellow colour, as it turns out, it actually because of the Mysterious Yellow Qi and was simply not my Spiritual Qi….” Ning Cheng’s heart was brimming to the full with astonishment and ecstasy, he knew that this bead was not an ordinary thing.
Ning Cheng was even more incomparably astonished from the information that he had received from within the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he almost could not believe that he had such a good luck.
Ning Cheng, at this moment, had completely forgotten that he was still within the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he was whole-heartedly thinking of ways to exploit this Mysterious Yellow Bead.
If Ning Cheng hadn’t obtained the information regarding the unrivalled rank of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he might have blindly believed that this Mysterious Yellow Bead was indeed unrivalled without any peers. But the information he had obtained made him feel somewhat disdained towards this unrivalled rank. Because the previous seventeen people who had obtained this Mysterious Yellow Bead were all beheaded. If it really was of an unrivalled rank, moreover even had ‘Good Fortune’ in its name, how could those people have been killed easily?
He believed the information about the bead being unrivalled was left by the first true owner of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, otherwise how could it, on one side be unrivalled and on other side, let its owner get beheaded easily.
Ning Cheng did not know, that this information was only available to him, because he was the first genuine master of the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Other people may have obtained the Mysterious Yellow Bead in the past, but the information regarding the unrivalled rank of the Mysterious Yellow Bead was not provided to them by the Mysterious Yellow Bead, rather only by absorbing the Mysterious Yellow Qi which gave birth to their confidence.
Ning Cheng did not understand the meaning of the Bead’s Origin, but it didn’t mean that he didn’t comprehend that the Mysterious Yellow Bead could correct the Cultivation Methods with the help of the Mysterious Yellow Qi.
The Ning Clan’s Cultivation Method clearly couldn’t satisfy his current needs, He wanted to find a type of Cultivation Method which suited him through the means of the Mysterious Yellow Qi. Or, he could go find a high level Cultivation Method and correct it with the help of the Mysterious Yellow Bead.
Ning Cheng began to seek for information within his mind, he wanted to find a Cultivation Method which suited him. It was reasonable to say that since he was not the first owner of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, it was certain the predecessors would have left behind some information regarding Cultivation Methods.
However, even after half a day, Ning Cheng still didn’t find any information regarding Cultivation Methods, he was merely able to find a six-character Cultivation Method incantation, “Mysterious Yellow Formless Creation”.
Ning Cheng did not understand what this “Mysterious Yellow Formless Creation” meant, even though his comprehension ability was one which went against the heavens, plus he was also bathed by the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s Origin and it was clear to understand. But in just a short period of time, Ning Cheng was only able to figure out what Mysterious Yellow Creation and Mysterious Yellow Formless were, but that alone was enough to shock him and had almost stood up.
Mysterious Yellow Creation, this made it so that if he come in contact with any kind of martial techniques, Magic Techniques, and through the means of cultivating within the Mysterious Yellow Bead, it could correct them and could also make them even more formidable. Although, Ning Cheng was aware of this point but he didn’t feel anything much.
What genuinely shocked Ning Cheng was the Mysterious Yellow Formless, this was the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s genuine Cultivation Method. This ‘Mysterious Yellow Formless’ was a special type of Cultivation Method, not only did it vary from person to person but also differed due to time and place. This was a type of transforming Cultivation Method, one could use the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s technique correction, but yet one could not always obtain a transforming Cultivation Method.
A Cultivation Method that could change at all times depending on the cultivators need, this was the genuine way of the heavens and earth, also called Mysterious Yellow Formless. Only by having the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s Origin, could one get the true Mysterious Yellow Formless. In other words, apart from Ning Cheng, all the previous owners only knew about Mysterious Yellow Creation.
Ning Cheng could not help being shocked, and stood up. With Mysterious Yellow Formless, he would simply not need any other Cultivation Methods, this practically was a Cultivation Method of all the other Cultivation Methods. As long as he wanted to cultivate, the Mysterious Yellow Bead would automatically provide pointers and even modify the Cultivation Method to suit his needs. All he had to do was, on one hand, absorb the Spiritual Qi and on other hand, cultivate according to the pointers provided by the Mysterious Yellow Bead.
Before Ning Cheng hadn’t cultivated, so his contact with the practice of cultivation was a short one when compared to his peers, even though he had reached Qi Gathering 4th Level, it was without anyone guiding him. If one must say that someone guided him, then that guide was the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Granted, he was not at all clear on this Mysterious Yellow Bead, but from the information he received from within it, he knew that it went against the heavens and also knew how terrifying its ability was first hand.
Mysterious Yellow Formless and Mysterious Yellow Creation, what could these methods accomplish? If this Mysterious Yellow Bead was so difficult to deal with, what about the other Good Fortune Treasures, were they also as difficult to deal with as the Mysterious Yellow Bead?
Currently only Mysterious Yellow Creation met his needs. But at this moment Ning Cheng felt a strong pressure, he became surprised and felt uneasy, he began to look and analyse his surroundings. Only then did he discover, that the place where he was, was not big at all, merely several kilometres of circumference, and was surrounded by a yellow mist all around.
How do I get out of this place? Ning Cheng had only just thought of going out when, in the next moment, he was already standing inside the cave in which he was cultivating.
It was the same as the last time when he woke up after researching the Array Formation Methods, An Yi was still watching him. Only it was a bit different than last time, An Yi’s eyes this time had a shocked expression in them.
“Just what’s going on?” Ning Cheng and An Yi asked each other at the same time.
Ning Cheng did not know what had happened after he entered the Mysterious Yellow Bead, An Yi seemed to have seen something, and he quickly asked again, “An Yi, what did you see just now? Will you tell me.”
“I saw you disappear, and then in your place there was a pale yellow bead suspended in the air where you were and then you suddenly appeared again, what’s all this about?” An Yi asked as she was starting to panic.
Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment, he chose to believe in An Yi and said in a very solemn tone, “An Yi, I obtained a mysterious bead, it should be the one that you just saw. This bead is very precious, once people come to know about it, I would be killed immediately for it. So I think you should not tell anyone, not even your master………”
Ning Cheng was going to say that even if you and your master shared a close relationship, you must not say anything about it. But he immediately understood the relationship between him and An Yi, and it was far away from the relationship between An Yi and her master. Besides, An Yi’s master had died, even if An Yi wanted to share this information with her, she would not be able to.
But An Yi just prudently nodded, “I know it, you are my big brother, except my master, you are the only one dearest to me, I will not tell this to any other people.”
Ning Cheng was a little relieved, and then said, “This time I do not know how long have I been training, but unexpectedly I did not feel hungry, I estimate that I will be very hungry very soon…… Hey An Yi, did you also advance to the Qi Gathering 4th Level?”
Only at this point, Ning Cheng was able to discover that An Yi had also advanced to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, just like him, this really was a good thing for both of them.
An Yi finally showed a hint of a smile on her face and said, “Yes, Big Brother Ning, I have only used 3 Spirit Stones and was able to advance to the Qi Gathering 4th Level. When I had just woken up, I immediately saw a yellow bead in front of me.”
“That’s really good, since we have Spirit Stones for our cultivation, our cultivation speed is definitely much faster……” Ning Cheng was pleasantly surprised when he said this, the effect of using a Spirit Stones was very good, he had more than 100 hundred of those, so why would he be afraid of not being able to advance?
“But although you were also able to advance to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, but it seems the Spirit Stone’s effect on you is more……” An Yi said after she pointed to the Spirit Stone powder at the feet of Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng discovered that he had nearly used up a hundred of the Spirit Stones that he had obtained for advancing from the Qi Gathering 3rd Level to the Qi Gathering 4th level, he had actually spent that much for the advancement.
Ning Cheng, in his heart was very shocked, it was too late to think about it carefully, and he hurriedly started to cultivate, he wanted to see if he could cultivate without using the Spirit Stones. This let him thoroughly down, without the Spirit Stones, although he could still feel the Mysterious Yellow Bead in his Dantian, but he was unable to cultivate.
“What should I do now?” Ning Cheng was alarmed, he knew that he was very lucky in coming across the hundred pieces of Spirit Stones. But so many Spirit Stones were used up in advancing from the Qi Gathering 3rd level to the 4th level, how would he be able to continue practice from now?
With the help of this Mysterious Yellow Qi, his cultivation was indeed very fast, but it required a terrible amount of Spirit Stones for that.
An Yi suddenly said, “Here, Big Brother Ning, I have a few more dozen pieces of Spirit Stones, but I think we should first leave from this place. Before I saw the yellow bead, it seems that some of the light might have spilled outside, I fear that people might come to know about it, and would………”
“Haha, …….really now, there really is something here.” They were able to hear a laugh coming from the outside, then a man with face full of scars appeared in front of Ning Cheng and An Yi at the entrance of the cave.

But how about Cai’er?\nThe strongest of Bright Glimmer of Hope was undoubtedly Long Haochen followed by Cai’er. The blow if Cai’er were to lose her match would be considerably huge to them.\n“Be at ease, Cai’er will surely make it.” Long Haochen had already opened his eyes at some point. The start of Cai’er’s battle and the huge threat confronting her immediately came to his senses.\nRight now, Cai’er seemed to be at an absolute disadvantage, but was that really the case?\nAfter the Dark Sovereign appeared, it did not let out any special sound. Floating in midair, he arrived in one stride in front of Cai’er locked by Hell’s Cage. Lifting the huge sword in his hand high, he abruptly struck it onto Cai’er.\nAfter completing this magic, Mo Wu 8had his eyes shut, sitting cross-legged above that dark altar which was his domain, able to increase sharply the might of all his darkness elemental magic, as well as increase his magic recovery. Perhaps this couldn’t be counted as a very strong domain because of its important limitations, but if one were to allow him to take control of the battle, that domain would show the most of its capability.\nFacing the strike of the huge sword, Cai’er’s body disappeared instantly and without the slightest prior indication.\nMo Wu noticed almost instantly that the dark purple triangle appeared again. Right away, his body disappeared from that altar.\nWhite traces appeared on that dark altar, instantly smashed it to pieces and turned into countless purplish black airstreams. Cai’er appeared right where Mo Wu used to be, floating there.\nMo Wu was shocked, because he had no idea how Cai’er escaped from his Hell’s Cage. That was a locking magic of the ninth step! Furthermore, Cai’er had shown no signs of movement from there!\nHow could he know how strong Cai’er had gotten after breaking through the ninth step? The instant that Hell’s Cage had surfaced, she had used a Doppelganger technique to be trapped in her stead, and at the same time utilized Invisibility.\nAnother person’s Doppelganger couldn’t last for so long, and would immediately get found out in front of a mage’s sharp senses, so they would not even be able to escape the lock of the Hell’s Cage.\nBut Cai’er was not the same. As the Saint Daughter of Samsara, she had the power of purification. Being an assassin with the most optimum gifts, she wouldn’t be fit to be called such if she was unable to escape the opponent’s lock.\nHowever, for the sake of keeping her Doppelganger stable, she couldn’t blindly go into action after escaping, or it would immediately disappear.\nOnly when Mo Wu’s summoned Dark Sovereign had attacked did Cai’er abruptly launched an attack.\nHowever, Mo Wu really had a precise judgement, using his teleportation like technique to escape Cai’er’s hit once again. Even so, his garment was dripping in sweat. If he were just a bit slower, Cai’er’s attack would have landed on him, therefore achieving victory.\nThe Dark Sovereign visibly sensed something going wrong, and a dark purple radiance gushed out from his chest. It was not directed at Cai’er, but at Mo Wu who had just gotten teleported in front of him.\nFigure flashing, Mo Wu suddenly disappeared in the dark purple radiance originating from the Dark Sovereign, for a similar result to Chen Hongyu’s previous performance.\nThis way, unless Cai’er vanquished the Dark Sovereign, she would have no way to attack Mo Wu.\nThis was what Mo Wu felt to be his only solution. The most optimum situation would be to have the Dark Sovereign attack Cai’er while he recovers his spiritual energy. That way, given enough time, he could even summon another Dark Sovereign. But this was not possible anymore: although he could command the Dark Sovereign while merged with him, none of his spiritual energy could be recovered in that situation. To say nothing about making use of that domain, his only possibility of victory was now to beat Ca’er using this Dark Sovereign.\nMo Wu had a definite faith in the Dark Sovereign’s capability. Just in cultivation alone, it had the strength of the ninth step’s second rank. Yesterday, Cai’er’s Tower of Eternity had truly shocked everyone present, but that was after all an object, prohibited in this individual competition. While empty-handed, could an assassin really win against a heavy armored Dark Sovereign?\n“Done running around?” The corners of Cai’er’s mouth traced a cold smile. Of course she knew that their greatest rival in this trip was the Mage Temple, and would show no kind feelings to a mage from the Mage Temple.\nThe Sickle of the God of Death formed of Light of Purification was slowly raised; she did not fly again, but came running in front of the Dark Sovereign.\nThe Sickle of the God of Death dragging behind her, Cai’er’s eyes turned white. Her absolutely cold and beautiful demeanor surged, forming along with her massive sickle a magnificent yet mystical scene. Although her opponent’s display was also quite dazzling, this scene caused the absolute majority of the spectators to unconsciously put their faith on Cai’er. After all, dark creatures were originally abhorred, to say nothing about Cai’er’s beautiful yet so young traits.\nThe Dark Sovereign’s eyes flashed with a purple glint, his right feet stomping heavily onto the ground as he took hold of his massive purplish black heavy sword in both of his hands.\nThe most frightening aspect of this Dark Sovereign lay in his extremely compact wielded darkness spiritual energy. It was not externalized, but attached onto his weapon, which gained a great deal of bursting power.\nCai’er did not evade, nor did she use any special technique, just brazenly swungg down her Sickle of the God of Death, her whole body flickering with white light, as her imposing manner rose to the peak.\nDespotic Strike! That was an ability evolved from Despotic Thrust. Right now, Cai’er’s move was full of an indescribably powerful tyrannical force.\nDing. In a tingling clash, the Sickle of the God of Death in Cai’er hands broke down. After all, that was not the real Sickle of the God of Death, just a condensation made of spiritual energy. In terms of offense and defense, it was far below the Sickle of the God of Death of divine grade.\nBut that Dark Sovereign was not well off either. One could clearly see that during the clash between the two opponents, the purplish-black aura spreading out from his body was totally repelled, as if trying to break away from his body, while his movements also turned sluggish.\nCai’er really showed an unyielding performance, condensing another Sickle of the God of Death in her hand. An unrestrained white glow flashed out in the air, causing lacerating sounds to arise from the loud explosive sound of a chop at the opponent’s heavy sword.\nThe Dark Sovereign let out a low howl, causing purplish-black colored fog to rise up, and rise sharply its imposing manner as well. Purplish-black blisters rushed up from underneath the ground, turning into countless purplish-black rays interweaving in the air. That was a domain, the Dark Sovereign’s domain. Although no one here knew its name, that was no doubt a domain specialized in large area attacks.\nThe Dark Sovereign’s domain had already erupted, and as that was a crowd attacking domain, it did not give the slightest space to possibly dodge the attack. Mo Wu was already fully prepared: as long as Cai’er would be unable to resist anymore, he’d immediately stop the attack, but an unforgettable scene came next to his sight.\nA miraculous scene took place. Upon contact with these white lights, the purplish-black radiance coming out from the Dark Sovereign’s domain immediately dispersed into nothingness. As those falling white petals kept increasing, the dark purple light became lesser and lesser, just as if purifying flowers had suddenly grown from the midst of the boundless darkness, bringing an universal hope. In this fantastic purification, all darkness was changed to nothingness, gradually giving ground to the light.\nLi Zhengzhi opened his mouth wide in shock. He could grasp some of the theories behind Long Haochen’s Light God Domain, as it was, after all, purely relevant to light. But the display of Cai’er’s domain far exceeded his knowledge. That power...\nThe Dark Sovereign’s body shook slightly. Raising his head to look at Cai’er in midair, his body suddenly shivered upon sight of the Domain of Purification dispersed at rapid speed around her. Immediately, he reappeared right on the edge of the stadium, lifting the heavy sword in his hand, slashing it rapidly, causing a dark purple hexagram to surface and immediately making way inside.\nWhat followed was a scene of an abruptly shaking Dark Sovereign before Mo Wu’s body was also thrown away, as the Dark Sovereign directly disappeared in that purple hexagram.\nThe Dark Sovereign having just gone away, his domain naturally dissipated as well, leaving only a sweaty Mo Wu. He did not understand why the Dark Sovereign left so hastily despite being in no position of inferiority. Could it be that it was starting to rain as he had left some clothes to dry?\nThis monstrous question flashed in Mo Wu’s mind, as the only thing left in the air was Cai’er with her unleashed domain, calmly confronting him.\n“I know that while you major in darkness magic, you also have a mastery in spatial magic. Perhaps your spatial magic can allow you to keep teleporting, but I want to see if your teleporting can succeed while in my Domain of Purification.”\nWhite light spread in front of Mo Wu. The instant his body came in contact with Cai’er, he immediately understood why the Dark Sovereign had fled in panic.\nAn indescribable pain surged in the depths of his soul. As his body shook intensely, he abruptly stated, “I concede.”"

第二百四十八章
魔法圣殿竟然还有这样的杀手锏存在，这让任何人都没有想到。
“要是老大对上他就好了。” 韩羽忍不住说道。
莫雾是黑暗法师，龙皓晨拥有的光神领域可以完美的克制他。
光之晨曦猎魔团中，最强的无疑是龙皓晨，然后就是采儿，如果采儿输掉了比赛，那么，对他们的打击是相当巨大的。
“放心吧，采儿一定能行。” 龙皓晨不知道什么时候已经睁开了双眼，采儿出战，并且遇到了巨大的威胁，他立刻就有感应。
此时看着场内的情况，似乎采儿已经完全处于下风，但事实上真的如此么？
黑暗君王出现后，并没有发出什么特殊的声音，虚空中，一步跨出，就到了被黑狱囚笼禁锢着的采儿面前，手中巨剑高举过头，猛然朝着采儿就斩了下去。
而完成了这个召唤魔法的莫雾则是闭着眼睛盘膝坐在他那黑暗祭坛之上，这黑暗祭坛就是他的领域，能够极大的增幅他所施展的一切黑暗魔法的威能，同时增强他魔力恢复的速度。 或许在领域之中，不算太强，因为有着不小的限制，可一旦让他占据了主动权，这个领域的威能就会充分的显现出来。
面对巨剑的下斩，采儿的身体突然消失了，是的，没有任何预兆的消失了。
莫雾几乎是瞬间就察觉到了不对，那个暗紫sè三角再次出现，下一瞬，他的身体就在祭坛上消失了。
一道白sè光痕出现在黑暗祭坛之上，祭坛瞬间破碎，化为无数紫黑sè气流消失。 而采儿就出现在之前莫雾所在的地方，悬浮在那里。
莫雾大吃一惊，因为他根本就不知道采儿是如何脱离黑狱囚笼的。 黑狱囚笼可是九阶的禁锢魔法啊！
他又怎会知道，修为突破九阶之后的采儿有多么强大，在黑狱囚笼将领的那一瞬间，她就用出了分身技能，分身与隐身同时使用。
换了别人，分身是不能持久的，而且一定会被魔法师敏锐的感知发现，甚至本体都逃不出黑狱囚笼的锁定。
但采儿不同，她是轮回圣nv，她有着净化之力。 身为天赋最佳的刺客，要是还不能脱离对手的锁定，她就不配称之为轮回圣nv了。
只不过，为了维持分身的稳固，她在脱离出来后也不能轻举妄动，否则分身立刻就会消失。
一直等到莫雾召唤出黑暗君王向她的分身发起攻击，采儿才骤然发动。
不过，莫雾确实敏感，判断极为准确，在即将被采儿命中的一瞬间通过类似瞬移的技能再次脱离。 尽管如此，他的衣襟也是被冷汗浸透了，要是再慢一步，采儿的攻击就将落在他身上，从而分出胜负。
黑暗君王显然感受到了不对，一道暗紫sè的光芒从他xiōng口处喷吐而出，不是针对采儿，而是针对瞬移到他身前的莫雾。
光影一闪，莫雾居然就那么消失在黑暗君王的暗紫sè光芒之中。
这样一来，除非采儿战胜黑暗君王，否则她就无法攻击到莫雾。
这样的话，只要给他一定时间，他甚至能够再召唤一个黑暗君王出来。 现在就不行了，融入黑暗君王体内后，他虽然能够指挥黑暗君王，但灵力却一点也得不到恢复，更别说使用那个领域了，只能寄希望于这黑暗君王能够击败采儿。
对于黑暗君王的能力，莫雾也是有一定信心的，不管怎么说，这黑暗君王也有着相当于九阶二级的实力。 昨天采儿的永恒之塔虽然震撼全场，但那毕竟是装备，在个人赛中是不允许使用的。
采儿嘴角处流lù出一抹冷笑，她当然知道，这次他们回来最大的竞争对手就是魔法圣殿，对魔法圣殿的魔法师，她可是不会留任何情面的。
净化之光所化的死神镰刀缓缓抬起，她没有再次飞行，而是就那么朝着黑暗君王跑了过去。
但眼前这一幕，无形中令绝大多数观战者都不由得将信念放在了采儿身上。 毕竟，对于黑暗生物，他们本就是深恶痛绝的，更何况采儿这么美、这么年轻。
黑暗君王眼中紫光一闪，右脚重重跺地，迎着采儿就冲了过去，双手握着那柄巨大的紫黑sè重剑，作出一个上挑的动作。
这黑暗君王最可怕的地方就在于他能够将自身的黑暗灵力施展的极为凝练。 灵力并不外放，只是附着在武器上，但爆发力却要强得多。
采儿没有闪躲，也没有使用任何技巧，手中镰刀悍然下斩，她全身白光升腾，气势在瞬间就达到了顶峰。
这是由霸王刺所化的技能，此时由采儿用出来，她整个人都充斥着难以形容的强大霸道之气。
“叮——”清脆的碰撞声中，采儿手中的死神镰刀出现溃散之状，这毕竟不是真正的死神镰刀，只是灵力凝结而成，在攻防之上，要比神器级的死神镰刀相差太远了。
但是，那黑暗君王也并不好受，能够清楚的看到，在二者碰撞的时候，他身上的紫黑sè气息竟然完全向后扬起，仿佛要从他身上脱离一般。
同时他的行动也是一滞。 采儿得理不让人，身体高高跃起，又是一柄死神镰刀凝聚在手，一道悠然白光在空中闪现，天空中甚至都出现了一声刺耳的撕裂音。 轰的一声，劈在了对手的重剑之上。
大地沸腾的所有紫黑sè气泡全部奔涌而起，化为无数紫黑sè光芒在空中jiāo织。 领域，这是黑暗君王的领域，虽然没人知道这领域的名字，但毫无疑问，这是一个群攻级别的领域。 原来，刚才那些黑sè气泡并不是属于莫雾的，而是属于这黑暗君王。
黑暗君王的领域已经爆发了，这是一个全方位攻击领域，根本没有能够闪躲的空间。 莫雾已经做好准备，只要采儿坚持不住，就立刻停止攻击。 但是，接下来的一幕令他永生难忘。
悬浮在半空，采儿再次做出了双手合十的动作，一片片洁净的白光化为huā瓣状向下挥洒。 奇异的一幕出现了，黑暗君王领域迸发的紫黑sè光芒与这些白光一接触，就立刻化为虚无消散，那白sèhuā瓣飞落的越来越多，暗紫sè的光芒就变得越来越少。 就像是在无尽的黑暗中突然绽放出一朵净化之huā，给所有人带来了希望。
在那份奇异的净化之中，一切黑暗都在向虚无转化，渐渐显现出光明的味道。 李正直惊讶的张大了嘴，龙皓晨的光神之域他多少还能mō到一些规律，毕竟，那是纯粹的光明。
黑暗君王的身体略微颤抖了一下，抬头看向半空中的采儿，看着那飞速扩散的净化之域，他的身体突然晃动了一下，紧接着，就出现在了大试炼场边缘。 手中重剑在空中飞速划出一个暗紫sè六芒星，一步跨出，已经站在那六芒星之中。
只见黑暗君王身体猛然一震，下一瞬，莫雾的身体就被甩了出来，而黑暗君王更是直接在那紫sè六芒星中消失了。
他完全不明白为什么黑暗君王在没有处于劣势的情况下就这么急匆匆的走了。 难道他家里衣服晾在外面，要下雨了？
这个怪异的念头在莫雾脑海中一闪而过，而空中，就只剩下释放着领域的采儿在平静的看着他。
“我知道，你在主修黑暗魔法的同时，还兼修了空间魔法。 或许，你的空间魔法还能瞬移。
白sè已经蔓延到了莫雾面前，他的身体刚刚与采儿的领域一接触，立刻就明白为什么黑暗君王会落荒而逃了。
一种难以形容的痛苦在他的灵魂深处出现，同时身体也剧烈的颤抖了一下，骇然道：“我认输。”

Chapter 701: Domain Technique, Divine Light Waltz (III)
The Mage Temple actually had such a killing move in store, this was really something no one expected.
“If only Boss was the one facing him.” Han Yu couldn’t help but let these words slip.
Mo Wu was a dark mage, so Long Haochen had the Light God Domain to suppress him perfectly, and had naturally no fears to have. But how about Cai’er?
The strongest of Bright Glimmer of Hope was undoubtedly Long Haochen followed by Cai’er. The blow if Cai’er were to lose her match would be considerably huge to them.
“Be at ease, Cai’er will surely make it.” Long Haochen had already opened his eyes at some point. The start of Cai’er’s battle and the huge threat confronting her immediately came to his senses.
Right now, Cai’er seemed to be at an absolute disadvantage, but was that really the case?
After the Dark Sovereign appeared, it did not let out any special sound. Floating in midair, he arrived in one stride in front of Cai’er locked by Hell’s Cage. Lifting the huge sword in his hand high, he abruptly struck it onto Cai’er.
After completing this magic, Mo Wu 8had his eyes shut, sitting cross-legged above that dark altar which was his domain, able to increase sharply the might of all his darkness elemental magic, as well as increase his magic recovery. Perhaps this couldn’t be counted as a very strong domain because of its important limitations, but if one were to allow him to take control of the battle, that domain would show the most of its capability.
Facing the strike of the huge sword, Cai’er’s body disappeared instantly and without the slightest prior indication.
Mo Wu noticed almost instantly that the dark purple triangle appeared again. Right away, his body disappeared from that altar.
White traces appeared on that dark altar, instantly smashed it to pieces and turned into countless purplish black airstreams. Cai’er appeared right where Mo Wu used to be, floating there.
Mo Wu was shocked, because he had no idea how Cai’er escaped from his Hell’s Cage. That was a locking magic of the ninth step! Furthermore, Cai’er had shown no signs of movement from there!
How could he know how strong Cai’er had gotten after breaking through the ninth step? The instant that Hell’s Cage had surfaced, she had used a Doppelganger technique to be trapped in her stead, and at the same time utilized Invisibility.
Another person’s Doppelganger couldn’t last for so long, and would immediately get found out in front of a mage’s sharp senses, so they would not even be able to escape the lock of the Hell’s Cage.
But Cai’er was not the same. As the Saint Daughter of Samsara, she had the power of purification. Being an assassin with the most optimum gifts, she wouldn’t be fit to be called such if she was unable to escape the opponent’s lock.
However, for the sake of keeping her Doppelganger stable, she couldn’t blindly go into action after escaping, or it would immediately disappear.
Only when Mo Wu’s summoned Dark Sovereign had attacked did Cai’er abruptly launched an attack.
However, Mo Wu really had a precise judgement, using his teleportation like technique to escape Cai’er’s hit once again. Even so, his garment was dripping in sweat. If he were just a bit slower, Cai’er’s attack would have landed on him, therefore achieving victory.
The Dark Sovereign visibly sensed something going wrong, and a dark purple radiance gushed out from his chest. It was not directed at Cai’er, but at Mo Wu who had just gotten teleported in front of him.
Figure flashing, Mo Wu suddenly disappeared in the dark purple radiance originating from the Dark Sovereign, for a similar result to Chen Hongyu’s previous performance.
This way, unless Cai’er vanquished the Dark Sovereign, she would have no way to attack Mo Wu.
This was what Mo Wu felt to be his only solution. The most optimum situation would be to have the Dark Sovereign attack Cai’er while he recovers his spiritual energy. That way, given enough time, he could even summon another Dark Sovereign. But this was not possible anymore: although he could command the Dark Sovereign while merged with him, none of his spiritual energy could be recovered in that situation. To say nothing about making use of that domain, his only possibility of victory was now to beat Ca’er using this Dark Sovereign.
Mo Wu had a definite faith in the Dark Sovereign’s capability. Just in cultivation alone, it had the strength of the ninth step’s second rank. Yesterday, Cai’er’s Tower of Eternity had truly shocked everyone present, but that was after all an object, prohibited in this individual competition. While empty-handed, could an assassin really win against a heavy armored Dark Sovereign?
“Done running around?” The corners of Cai’er’s mouth traced a cold smile. Of course she knew that their greatest rival in this trip was the Mage Temple, and would show no kind feelings to a mage from the Mage Temple.
The Sickle of the God of Death formed of Light of Purification was slowly raised; she did not fly again, but came running in front of the Dark Sovereign.
The Sickle of the God of Death dragging behind her, Cai’er’s eyes turned white. Her absolutely cold and beautiful demeanor surged, forming along with her massive sickle a magnificent yet mystical scene. Although her opponent’s display was also quite dazzling, this scene caused the absolute majority of the spectators to unconsciously put their faith on Cai’er. After all, dark creatures were originally abhorred, to say nothing about Cai’er’s beautiful yet so young traits.
The Dark Sovereign’s eyes flashed with a purple glint, his right feet stomping heavily onto the ground as he took hold of his massive purplish black heavy sword in both of his hands.
The most frightening aspect of this Dark Sovereign lay in his extremely compact wielded darkness spiritual energy. It was not externalized, but attached onto his weapon, which gained a great deal of bursting power.
Cai’er did not evade, nor did she use any special technique, just brazenly swungg down her Sickle of the God of Death, her whole body flickering with white light, as her imposing manner rose to the peak.
Despotic Strike! That was an ability evolved from Despotic Thrust. Right now, Cai’er’s move was full of an indescribably powerful tyrannical force.
Ding. In a tingling clash, the Sickle of the God of Death in Cai’er hands broke down. After all, that was not the real Sickle of the God of Death, just a condensation made of spiritual energy. In terms of offense and defense, it was far below the Sickle of the God of Death of divine grade.
But that Dark Sovereign was not well off either. One could clearly see that during the clash between the two opponents, the purplish-black aura spreading out from his body was totally repelled, as if trying to break away from his body, while his movements also turned sluggish.
Cai’er really showed an unyielding performance, condensing another Sickle of the God of Death in her hand. An unrestrained white glow flashed out in the air, causing lacerating sounds to arise from the loud explosive sound of a chop at the opponent’s heavy sword.
The Dark Sovereign let out a low howl, causing purplish-black colored fog to rise up, and rise sharply its imposing manner as well. Purplish-black blisters rushed up from underneath the ground, turning into countless purplish-black rays interweaving in the air. That was a domain, the Dark Sovereign’s domain. Although no one here knew its name, that was no doubt a domain specialized in large area attacks.
The Dark Sovereign’s domain had already erupted, and as that was a crowd attacking domain, it did not give the slightest space to possibly dodge the attack. Mo Wu was already fully prepared: as long as Cai’er would be unable to resist anymore, he’d immediately stop the attack, but an unforgettable scene came next to his sight.
A miraculous scene took place. Upon contact with these white lights, the purplish-black radiance coming out from the Dark Sovereign’s domain immediately dispersed into nothingness. As those falling white petals kept increasing, the dark purple light became lesser and lesser, just as if purifying flowers had suddenly grown from the midst of the boundless darkness, bringing an universal hope. In this fantastic purification, all darkness was changed to nothingness, gradually giving ground to the light.
Li Zhengzhi opened his mouth wide in shock. He could grasp some of the theories behind Long Haochen’s Light God Domain, as it was, after all, purely relevant to light. But the display of Cai’er’s domain far exceeded his knowledge. That power...
The Dark Sovereign’s body shook slightly. Raising his head to look at Cai’er in midair, his body suddenly shivered upon sight of the Domain of Purification dispersed at rapid speed around her. Immediately, he reappeared right on the edge of the stadium, lifting the heavy sword in his hand, slashing it rapidly, causing a dark purple hexagram to surface and immediately making way inside.
What followed was a scene of an abruptly shaking Dark Sovereign before Mo Wu’s body was also thrown away, as the Dark Sovereign directly disappeared in that purple hexagram.
The Dark Sovereign having just gone away, his domain naturally dissipated as well, leaving only a sweaty Mo Wu. He did not understand why the Dark Sovereign left so hastily despite being in no position of inferiority. Could it be that it was starting to rain as he had left some clothes to dry?
This monstrous question flashed in Mo Wu’s mind, as the only thing left in the air was Cai’er with her unleashed domain, calmly confronting him.
“I know that while you major in darkness magic, you also have a mastery in spatial magic. Perhaps your spatial magic can allow you to keep teleporting, but I want to see if your teleporting can succeed while in my Domain of Purification.”
White light spread in front of Mo Wu. The instant his body came in contact with Cai’er, he immediately understood why the Dark Sovereign had fled in panic.
An indescribable pain surged in the depths of his soul. As his body shook intensely, he abruptly stated, “I concede.”

If there’s anything else, you can come and find me.”\nAfterward, Little Brother Bao left the scene. He had been slapped by Lin Fan but he would not take that to heart. To be taught a lesson by the Godly Doctor was something that should happen. Anyway, if his brother were to know about this, he would slap him a few times as well.\n“Teacher Xia, this was just a small interruption, why don’t you continue?” Lin Fan said.\nTeacher Xia was very grateful and replied, “Lil’ Fan, I can’t thank you enough.”\nLin Fan waved her off and said with a smile, “No need, no need, it’s just a small matter.”\nThe surrounding classmates were really all in shock. The felt that Lin Fan had become more awesome, being able to resolve the whole situation. However, regarding the Jiangning Godly Doctor situation, they had all heard about it but to hear that it was Lin Fan, it left them flabbergasted and it was unimaginable.\nLin Fan looked at Brother Qiang Qiang and knew that there was definitely a reason for her coming here to find himself. Otherwise, she would not have appeared. As the situation was resolved already, everyone else naturally went back to having fun. The hotel room was filled with amusement and people eating. Brother Qiang Qiang had booked the most high-end karaoke room for Teacher Xia, free of charge.\nHe wanted to reject it at first, but after some thought, he remembered that Teacher Xia was his teacher and her reputation was pretty important so he did not say a thing.\nThe school leaders’ opinions of Teacher Xia had changed also. They had a sort of feeling that the teacher was relying on her student’s riches and honor to stand up.\nIn the private room, Wang Zhen and the rest of them were in high spirits while Lin Fan and Brother Qiang Qiang were alone.\nInside the office, Lin Fan was trying to analyze Brother Qiang Qiang. “Brother Qiang Qiang, you name is a little amusing, I’ve never seen anyone call himself that.”\nBrother Qiang Qiang’s lips were perfectly red and teeth perfectly white, so even her smile was perfect. However, it was ruined by her temperament. She replied, “A name is just a title and that’s all. As far as it goes, Brother Qiang Qiang is my name.”\n“However, my real name is Liu Xu. The thing is that no one knows it and I’m hoping that the godly doctor won’t spread that.”\nLin Fan nodded and said, “I am not the type to gossip.”\nBrother Qiang Qiang replied, “Godly doctor, I’ll get straight to the point. I…”\nLin Fan waved him off and said, “There’s no need to say it, I know it already. Whenever I’m attending to my patients, they don’t have to tell me their illness and I’d know it already. When I first laid eyes on you, I knew what was wrong already.”\nBrother Qiang Qiang laughed and said, “You are the expert and the godly doctor, you have my full trust to do whatever you need to. Tell me whatever the price is.”\nBrother Qiang Qiang’s condition was very serious. Lin Fan had no intention of seeing any more patients, however, Brother Qiang Qiang, who had perfect features as well as a slim body had a huge hormonal problem. If she had been a girl from birth, then how could she have these problems?\nEven if Lin Fan did not think that way, the millions of youngsters in society would definitely think that way.\nLin Fan waved him off and said, “My work is out of good will, so my services are all free. Relax, in this situation, there are only two problems, one being your body and the other being your mind.”\nBrother Qiang Qiang laughed, she could not help becoming really happy. This illness had always been her greatest headache.\nFrom birth, she had already known what gender she was meant to be.\nShe had seen countless doctors and taken countless amounts of medicine, all to no avail.\nShe wanted to become a true man. However, she was not willing to accept the kind of treatment they do in Thailand and she had no intentions of becoming their plaything. As long as she could grow a mustache as well as get rid of her menstrual cycle she would be satisfied because to her, that was a very troublesome thing.\nAlso, she felt that her female parts were too prominent. She thought they were too big and wanted to make them smaller.\nWithout operating, these wishes would not be possible. However, she did not want to go under the knife.\nNow that she had seen that Jiangning had a godly doctor, she wanted to try her luck. After hearing the confidence from him, she could not help feeling happy. All she had to do was let the expert go to work and she could relax.\n“Do you need anything for this medical treatment?” Brother Qiang Qiang asked.\nLin Fan waved her off and said, “No need. All I need are some silver needles and I will prescribe you with some medication. You just need to diligently eat it for a month and you’ll be fine.”\n“So long?” Brother Qiang Qiang curiously asked.\nLin Fan laughed and said, “This is considered long? To be able to change your body is a very difficult thing since it has been accumulated in your body for such a long period of time. To want to have it cured in a short amount of time is not something that is possible.”\nBrother Qiang Qiang nodded and said, “That’s true. Okay, godly doctor, I have some silver needles here, I’ll get someone to send them over.”\nRegarding Brother Qiang Qiang’s issues, Lin Fan could not just sit back and do nothing. To have perfect features and then be in a situation like this, where she had an interest in women but not in men, was a scary thing.\nTo have such good features but not be able to enjoy them because of physical and mental issues, was really a sad thing.\nBut, she was lucky to have met a godly doctor like Lin Fan, who could easily solve this.\nBrother Qiang Qiang said, “Godly doctor, I feel like I have to tell you about my condition.”\nLin Fan waved her off and said, “No need to use your own words. Experts are experts. I am an expert so let me do what I have to. All you need to do is eat medicine for a month and after that, you’ll see the effects of my expertise.”\nQuickly, the needles arrived.\nLin Fan was about to begin his treatment when he said, “Brother Qiang Qiang, you must remember that while taking the medicine for this month, there will be side effects, however, they will go away with time.”\n“Yea, I know,” Brother Qiang Qiang nodded. Her mind was filled with anticipation as the time she had been waiting so long for was finally here.\nShe did not really care about the opinions of the people at home because, in life, you have to put your own needs first."

小宝哥拿起桌上的酒瓶，随后歉意的看着现场所有人，“各位老师，各位领导，各位同学们，我小宝哥给你们添麻烦了，这事是我错，我自罚三杯，今晚这单我来买，这跟你们老师都是误会，误会。”
如果让自己老哥知道，自己欺负神医身边的人，那还不打断自己的腿。
虽然现在自己靠群赌发家，但那时候还是自己亲哥带自己混出来的，而且自己亲哥脾气暴躁的很，就算自己现在地位不比他低，他要打自己，自己一句屁话也不敢放。
想当年小时候，要不是有哥照顾自己，自己很有可能都死了。
周围同学们也松了口气，看情况是没事情了，真是吓死他们了。
不过他们现在还有些惊愕，目光看向林凡，倒是有些惊奇，这带来的震撼也太大了吧。
手抓饼如此好吃，就已经让他们震惊了。 现在又来一个神医，这身份转换的也太大了。
林凡心中无奈，今天刚想好好在同学面前，表现一下自己的英雄气概，可哪能想到事情这么快就解决了，而且解决的还莫名其妙。
这神医名头，也这么好用了？
让人有些不爽啊。
计划都被打乱了。
逼装了一半，正要发挥到极限的时候，对方就怂了，没意思，真是太没意思了。
“我老师钱，你可得还了。” 林凡说道。
小宝哥笑着点头，“这是自然，这钱我肯定亲自送上门，今天打扰了夏老师的生日，是我的错，我现在就不打扰了，有任何事情，可以找我。”
随后小宝哥识相的离开了，至于被林凡打了一巴掌，这事情他可不会记在心里，被神医教训，那是应该的，就算是被自己老哥知道了，那也是如此，说不定还能被老哥再来几个巴掌。
“夏老师，小小插曲，要不继续。” 林凡说道。
夏老师感激道：“小凡，真是太谢谢你了。”
林凡摆手笑道：“不用，不用，小事而已。”
周围的同学们也是惊叹的很，感觉林凡越来越牛了，这种事情都能解决，只是那江宁神医的事情，他们可都听说过的，如今听到林凡就是那神医，这如何不让他们傻眼，感觉匪夷所思。
不过后面该怎么热闹，就怎么热闹。 林凡看出这强强哥，肯定是有事要找自己，不然也绝对不会出面，而后面的事情，也是水到渠成，在这吃饭跟娱乐一体的酒店，强强哥直接将夏老师他们安排到这里最为高端的K歌包间，所有单全免。
本来他是想拒绝的，但是想想，这夏老师是自己的老师，这面子自然是要顶上去，所以也就没多说什么。
学校领导看向夏老师的目光也发生了变化，有种老师凭学生富贵起来的感觉。 包间内。
王真他们玩的很嗨，而林凡则是跟强强哥单独见面了。 办公室内。
林凡玩味的打量着强强哥，“你这名字有点噱头啊，强强哥，还真没人这么叫自己。”
强强哥唇红齿白，一笑也是很有美感，不过就是被这中性的气质给破坏了，“名字也是名号而已，至于这强强哥，就是我的名字。”
“不过我有真名，柳絮，只是没人知道而已，神医可得帮我保守。”
林凡点头，“我不是喜欢八卦的人。”
强强哥道：“神医，我也就开门见山的说了，我……。”
林凡摆手，“我知道，你不用说了，我看病从来不需要病人说自己有什么病，当我第一眼看到你的时候，我就已经知道你患有什么病了。”
强强哥笑了，“专业就是专业，你是神医，我无条件相信你，条件你开。”
这强强哥病的很严重，原本林凡是不想给人看病的，但是这强强哥五官很好，身材也很苗条，但关键就是这激素出现问题，内分泌失调严重，你说好端端的一个妹子，怎么能变成这样？
就算自己不这样想，那社会上亿万年轻人肯定也会这样想啊。
这不是可惜了嘛。 林凡摆手，“我出来就是义诊，说不收费就不会收费，你放心，你这情况只有两个问题，一个身体，另一个就是心理。”
强强哥笑了，心情不由愉悦了起来，她最为头疼的就是自己这毛病。
在她懂事的那一刻，她就已经知道，自己的性别是什么了。
曾经她看过不少医生，也吃过不少药，但都没有任何用处。
她想变成真正的男人，不过泰国那种手术，她是不会接受的，而且也不需要生长那玩意，只需要自己长胡子，同时杜绝每个月姨妈，因为这在她看来，这些都是很麻烦的事情。
还有就是她感觉自己女性特征太明星，这里稍微有些大，所以想变小。
但是这种不经过手术，是不可能实现的，但想要她做手术，那是不可能的。
如今看到江宁有神医，她倒是想试一试，现在听到神医如此自信，她不由笑了，专业就是专业，交给对方，自己也能放心了。
“治疗的时候，有什么需要吗？” 强强哥问道。
林凡摆手，“不需要，银针就好，还有我给你开药方，你坚持吃一个月，就会好。”
强强哥疑惑道。 林凡笑了，“这还久？
你的身体想要改变过来，难度很大，因为你这是长时间积累下来的，想要一下子就治好，这肯定是不可能的，需要一定时间的恢复。”
强强哥点头，“也对，好，神医，银针我这里就有，我让人送来。”
对于强强哥的情况，他自然是不能坐视不管，五官如此精致，却发生这种情况，对男性没兴趣，只对女生有兴趣，这是多么恐怖，可悲的事情。
拥有如此好的条件，却因为身体的原因和心理的原因，无法享受到世间最为美好的感觉，这是多么可惜的事情。
不过好在，遇到了我这种神医，倒也不是什么难事。
强强哥道：“神医，我感觉我有必要说一下我的病情。”
林凡摆手，“不需要，用你的话来说，专业就是专业，我是专业人士，我知道该怎么做，你只要安心服药一个月，到那时候，你就会知道我是多么的专业了。”
很快，银针送来了。
林凡也开始治疗了，随后说道：“强强哥，你要记住，在服药这一个月内，会出现一些症状，但是过段时间，就会好转的。”
“恩，我知道。” 强强哥点头，心里渐渐的开始期待了起来，终于等到这时刻了。
至于家里那些人的看法，她才不会在意。 要做人，就要做出自我。

However, thinking back to his youth, if it was not for his brother taking care of him, he could have already been dead.
The surrounding students also let sighs of relief. The whole thing had scared them to death but it appeared to be over.
However, they were still pretty shocked. When they looked at Lin Fan, it was really weird as he had changed so much.
His scallion pancakes being so delicious had already made them really surprised and now, he turned out to be a Godly Doctor. The change was really too drastic.
Lin Fan felt helpless. He had planned to show some heroism in front of his classmates today, but he never thought that the situation would be settled so quickly and in such a mysterious fashion.
Was it that helpful having the title of Godly Doctor?
It made him a little unhappy.
His plan had been ruined.
When he was halfway through showing his force and was about to show his true strength, the opposition became terrified. It was a boring outcome, really too boring.
“You better return my teacher’s money,” Lin Fan said.
Little Brother Bao nodded and smiled, “That’s a given. I will personally send the money to her doorstep. I’ve disturbed your teacher’s birthday today, that’s my fault. Right now, I’ll leave you all to be. If there’s anything else, you can come and find me.”

The school leaders’ opinions of Teacher Xia had changed also. They had a sort of feeling that the teacher was relying on her student’s riches and honor to stand up.
In the private room, Wang Zhen and the rest of them were in high spirits while Lin Fan and Brother Qiang Qiang were alone.
Inside the office, Lin Fan was trying to analyze Brother Qiang Qiang. “Brother Qiang Qiang, you name is a little amusing, I’ve never seen anyone call himself that.”
Brother Qiang Qiang’s lips were perfectly red and teeth perfectly white, so even her smile was perfect. However, it was ruined by her temperament. She replied, “A name is just a title and that’s all. As far as it goes, Brother Qiang Qiang is my name.”
“However, my real name is Liu Xu. The thing is that no one knows it and I’m hoping that the godly doctor won’t spread that.”
Lin Fan nodded and said, “I am not the type to gossip.”
Brother Qiang Qiang replied, “Godly doctor, I’ll get straight to the point. I…”
Lin Fan waved him off and said, “There’s no need to say it, I know it already. Whenever I’m attending to my patients, they don’t have to tell me their illness and I’d know it already. When I first laid eyes on you, I knew what was wrong already.”
Brother Qiang Qiang laughed and said, “You are the expert and the godly doctor, you have my full trust to do whatever you need to. Tell me whatever the price is.”
Brother Qiang Qiang’s condition was very serious. Lin Fan had no intention of seeing any more patients, however, Brother Qiang Qiang, who had perfect features as well as a slim body had a huge hormonal problem. If she had been a girl from birth, then how could she have these problems?
Even if Lin Fan did not think that way, the millions of youngsters in society would definitely think that way.
Lin Fan waved him off and said, “My work is out of good will, so my services are all free. Relax, in this situation, there are only two problems, one being your body and the other being your mind.”
Brother Qiang Qiang laughed, she could not help becoming really happy. This illness had always been her greatest headache.
From birth, she had already known what gender she was meant to be.
She had seen countless doctors and taken countless amounts of medicine, all to no avail.
She wanted to become a true man. However, she was not willing to accept the kind of treatment they do in Thailand and she had no intentions of becoming their plaything. As long as she could grow a mustache as well as get rid of her menstrual cycle she would be satisfied because to her, that was a very troublesome thing.
Also, she felt that her female parts were too prominent. She thought they were too big and wanted to make them smaller.
Without operating, these wishes would not be possible. However, she did not want to go under the knife.
Now that she had seen that Jiangning had a godly doctor, she wanted to try her luck. After hearing the confidence from him, she could not help feeling happy. All she had to do was let the expert go to work and she could relax.
“Do you need anything for this medical treatment?” Brother Qiang Qiang asked.
Lin Fan waved her off and said, “No need. All I need are some silver needles and I will prescribe you with some medication. You just need to diligently eat it for a month and you’ll be fine.”
“So long?” Brother Qiang Qiang curiously asked.
Lin Fan laughed and said, “This is considered long? To be able to change your body is a very difficult thing since it has been accumulated in your body for such a long period of time. To want to have it cured in a short amount of time is not something that is possible.”
Brother Qiang Qiang nodded and said, “That’s true. Okay, godly doctor, I have some silver needles here, I’ll get someone to send them over.”
Regarding Brother Qiang Qiang’s issues, Lin Fan could not just sit back and do nothing. To have perfect features and then be in a situation like this, where she had an interest in women but not in men, was a scary thing.
To have such good features but not be able to enjoy them because of physical and mental issues, was really a sad thing.
But, she was lucky to have met a godly doctor like Lin Fan, who could easily solve this.
Brother Qiang Qiang said, “Godly doctor, I feel like I have to tell you about my condition.”
Lin Fan waved her off and said, “No need to use your own words. Experts are experts. I am an expert so let me do what I have to. All you need to do is eat medicine for a month and after that, you’ll see the effects of my expertise.”
Quickly, the needles arrived.
Lin Fan was about to begin his treatment when he said, “Brother Qiang Qiang, you must remember that while taking the medicine for this month, there will be side effects, however, they will go away with time.”
“Yea, I know,” Brother Qiang Qiang nodded. Her mind was filled with anticipation as the time she had been waiting so long for was finally here.
She did not really care about the opinions of the people at home because, in life, you have to put your own needs first.

Although without any capability to use an absolute domain, Su Hao’s original strength could rival those on higher levels. To break through into the domain realm, he should be much stronger although not as strong as Wan Cheng.\nAt least, all the students had such a perception.\nMoreover, since Su Hao hadn’t graduated and there hasn’t been any news about him, he had become the most mysterious character in Tian Long Court.\nTime flew by, and one more month passed.\nIn the cultivation room, Su Hao was still motionless. Other spots in the room already began to show traces of dust. Suddenly, Su Hao’s mental state trembled as he woke up from his deep immersion.\nSwish!\nOpening his eyes, two rays of golden light flashed.\nThis is the aura of energy accumulating.\n“What’s going on?” Su Hao’s heart skipped a beat.\nEvaluating his current strength, Su Hao determined his foundation is well consolidated. To show himself now wouldn’t do any harm. After all, he didn’t intend to stay here for long. However, what made Su Hao worry was that flash of uneasiness in his heart.\n“Something’s amiss.” Su Hao took a deep breath.\nAlso, since the completion of virtualization, Su Hao could sense that this is a kind of a warning sign that something bad had happened!\nWho’s in trouble?\nFamily, friend? Su Hao made some contacts for a bit and found that his surrounding friends and family were fine. Then, who was it? Could it be those who went into their own cultivation journey? Chen Yiran was brought away by Su Wan. Although Su Wan was only a half-step domain esper, Su Hao never doubted his aunt’s real strength.\nThis isn’t a joke, as someone who followed his dad all over the world, how could his aunt’s real strength be weak?\nEven though she’s injured, Su Wan’s insight isn’t comparable to an average person. There is no way they would be in danger. Then…\nWhat about the others?\nSu Hao activated the smart computer to deduce possible scenarios. When the focus was on Li Tiantian, Su Hao could detect something wrong. Li Tiantian couldn’t be contacted!\nSu Hao became alarmed.\nThis isn’t strange. After all, one would usually be cut off from the world during closed-door cultivation. However, if Lan Tingxu also failed to be contacted, then things became troublesome.\n“Could they have gone to cultivate together?” Su Hao’s eyebrows scrunched up.\nWith only limited information, he couldn’t analyze anything.\nHowever, when Su Hao was searching for more news, his wrist shook because this news instantly changed his expression the moment he caught a glimpse.\nTian Zi and Xiao Die were about to get married?!\nLi Tiantian disappeared… Lan Tingxu was under house arrest…\nDamn it!\nWhat the hell is going on?\nSu Hao’s heart skipped a beat. He then asked Wan Cheng to help investigate Lan Tingxu’s situation and soon obtained an answer. Li Tiantian somehow angered the Tian family for an unknown reason and got captured. As for Lan Tingxu, he was under house arrest for trying to help him!\n“Imprisoned! House arrest!” Su Hao’s eyes went cold.\nIgnore Li Tiantian for a moment and focus on Lan Tingxu; Su Hao had a good impression of this uncle. Lan Tingxu is someone who really acts for mankind! Originally, he thought that with the identity as a Federal Guardian, the Tian family wouldn’t take action. He never expected the top ten families to be so arrogant!\nSu Hao suddenly remembered a statement from before.\nIn this era of origin ability, although the Federation unites mankind and governs over everyone, due to the distribution of strength, they lack the ability to control everything!\nOnce again, Su Hao had a better understanding of the top ten families’ strength.\n“Emperor, huh…” Su Hao clenched his fists.\nEven Su Hao would be wary!\nIt’s extremely terrifying!\nThat time control isn’t for nothing. Su Hao, who mastered Illusion Reality to a new degree, knew how much of an improvement he enjoyed, but this was only at the tip of the iceberg. If Li Tiantian is to use his full strength, the outcome would be unimaginable!\nAs one who could control the future, the Tian family has what to capture him?\nSu Hao couldn’t understand.\nHowever, after asking about the actual situation from Wan Cheng, Su Hao went silent. Wan Cheng wasn’t there at that time, but there was this rumor that the one who captured him was a world esper.\n“World esper…” Su Hao bitterly smiled.\nThen there is nothing to say.\n“What to do now?” Su Hao pondered.\nSince he understood the current situation, he actually became calmer. Since Li Tiantian was in deep trouble, no matter what, he had to rescue Li Tiantian!\nHowever, the issue here is how to save him.\nThis isn’t Zhanzheng College.\nThis is the Tian family!\nNot only one of the top ten families but the strongest one among them! The main point here is he has to invade the foe’s territory to bring Li Tiantian back! Moreover, with the news of Tian Zi and Xiao Die’s marriage, the security would be even tighter. If he’s to go there, only death awaits him.\nTap, tap~\nSu Hao gently tapped his fingers.\nAs he thought further, he knew he needed to verify how accurate the information is. After all, he couldn’t afford even the slightest mistake. What Wan Cheng obtained was only the tip of the iceberg, and it was far from sufficient.\nSwish!\nA virtual screen appeared.\nSu Hao’s powerful hacking ability finally had some use. A moment later, he invaded the Tian family’s network and found out what actually happened at that time.\nAs he predicted, he saw information about Li Tiantian.\nLi Tiantian charged at the Tian family. Those several domain espers who were in charge of guarding the family were killed instantly. This was something Su Hao could have guessed. Naturally, he wouldn’t care about it. However, as Li Tiantian was approaching the crucial moment, a world esper appeared! The ensuing result was self-evident!\nThe Tian family didn’t kill him to give some face to Lan Tingxu.\nHowever, before the marriage is completed, Li Tiantian wouldn’t be let off. At the same time, in order to prevent Lan Tingxu from leaking any news, before the marriage is completed, he was banned from leaving the Tian family.\n“As I expected.” Su Hao pondered for a moment.\nThe Tian family is extremely domineering. There is no room for any mishaps to happen with this marriage. Even Lan Tingxu was temporarily barred from leaving! One could see how determined the Tian family is.\n“Xiao Die…” Su Hao recalled that girl for a bit.\nThe last time they met was when the girl took action. Due to their confrontation with the teacher, she intercepted. He could clearly see how much pain and despair was hidden within Li Tiantian’s eyes!\nThis knot, he could never let it go!\n“Save Li Tiantian?” Su Hao bitterly smiled.\nIf it were that simple, that would be great!\nHe questioned himself, what if he was in the same spot? What if he is to change the people in this scenario to him and Chen Yiran? After being saved, would he be willing to leave?\nIf he is to leave like this, why would he charge there in the first place?\nNo matter how difficult it is, he would still charge forward for the sake of seeing Xiao Die once! In other words, this matter needed to be divided into two steps before it could be dealt with."

第七百二十五章 婚礼？
苏浩整理提升的实力。
自从高原市，他就踏入职业化巅峰，那一战之后，更是进步良多，而后，韬光养晦半年，天国和自身再度进入另一个层面。
之后，智能计算机完成！
带来的，是体内所有算法重新演变，所有源能技和修炼术的威力都有了不同程度的增长，这是来自核心的提升，整体全面提升。
至此，模型分析虚幻层面大成！
虽然他依旧是职业化巅峰，但是如今的实力，却非常恐怖！ 而此时，苏浩也终于知道万成那种强大的自信来自何方。
我纵然是职业化，一人一剑，也能秒杀你领域化！
如今，他也做到了！
下一个目标，就是具象化，然后踏入领域！
苏浩双目熠熠。
他心中已经没什么遗憾了。 将妹妹苏灵送到了最高位置，以妹妹的天赋，足以走出更远，而且，这样的话，就算他不在，家里也能很好的保护，再也不用顾虑重重。 而药剂师方面的东西，则是全面由师父去处理。
坑坑药剂师协会还行，真正商业运营什么的他又完全不懂，就不去浪费时间了，他可不想把宝贵的时间，浪费在这上面。 不过，以他们如今的身份，至少可以保障了以后各方面的收入。
总的来说。
这段时间的折腾，似乎将他心中的顾虑全部搞定了。
“可以全力修理了。”
苏浩盘膝而坐，再度沉浸。
一月之间，悄然而逝。 当初苏浩突破的消息已经渐渐淡去，毕竟，一个半路被逼迫的不得不突破的天才。
这就是天才的自信。
同样的，在联邦各个角落，有着不少人根本不为人所知。
似乎冰封着一个身影。 又比如，某座山峰之前，一个阳光般的大男孩正满头大汗在兴奋的闯荡。
这些人，似乎早已被遗忘。
苏浩虽然淡出视野。
但是也不可避免的成为一个特殊之人，毕竟，虽然没有领悟绝对领域，但是苏浩实力本就可以越级而战，这次踏入领域化，想必会更强，虽然比不上万成，但是应该也很强大。
至少，所有学生都这么理解的。
而且，加上苏浩没有毕业，甚至得不到他的消息，渐渐的，也就成了天龙苑最神秘的一个人物。
时间一晃，又是一月。
修炼室中。 苏浩纹丝不同，房间内的其他地方，甚至有了一丝灰尘，突兀的，苏浩心神一震，从修炼中醒来。
“刷！”
睁开眼睛，两道金光一闪而逝。
这是源能收拢的气息。
“怎么回事？” 苏浩莫名心悸。
看看当前的实力，基础已经稳固，所有当前已经掌控，并且还在缓步提升中，这个时候出关也无妨，他本来也就没打算呆多久。 但是让苏浩真正心惊的时候，心中一闪的那一丝心慌。
苏浩深吸一口气。
况且。 虚幻大成之后，苏浩已经感觉到，这是一种警兆——出事了！
谁出事了？
那些修炼而去的人？ 陈怡然被苏婉带走了，虽然苏婉展现出来的只有半步领域，但是苏浩从不怀疑这位姑姑真正的实力！
开玩笑，当年跟着老爹闯天下的，姑姑的真正实力又怎么可能弱？
就算如今受伤，发挥不了应有的实力，但是苏婉的见识，绝非一般人可比的，绝对不可能出事。
其他几位？
苏浩启动智能计算机推演，很快锁定到了唯一不定的几位朋友身上，迅速对他们展开分析，刚刚从李甜甜周身的蛛丝马迹推演的时候，苏浩就感觉到了一丝不对劲，李甜甜联系不上！
苏浩警惕了。
这没什么奇怪的，修炼经常闭关。 但是如果蓝廷旭也联系不上的话，那这件事情就变得麻烦了。
“他们也一起修炼去了？” 苏浩眉头微皱。
单单凭借这些东西，他分析不出来什么。
然而，很快，苏浩正在查看消息的手抖了一下，因为这是，一条消息映入眼帘，苏浩看了一眼就脸色微变。
天子和小蝶，要成婚了？ ！
出事了！
该死！
到底发生了什么事情？
苏浩心神一紧，让万成帮忙调查一下蓝廷旭的状况，很快就得到了消息，李甜甜不知道因为什么原因，硬闯天家，最终被擒拿，似乎被天家关起来了！
而蓝廷旭因为帮他被天家软禁了！
苏浩眼中寒光大盛。 不说李甜甜，单单蓝廷旭这位大叔，他也挺有好感的，兢兢业业，而且是真正的为人类考虑！ 只是，原本以为有联邦身份在。
苏浩突然又想起了当初那句话。
虽然联邦统领所有人类，但是因为势力分布和实力为尊的现状，根本管不到地方！
再一次，苏浩对十大家族的强势。 有了一个深刻的了解。
苏浩捏紧了拳头。
不过，他对整件事情，也有疑惑。
纵然他也有心悸！ 非常可怕！
那时间掌控可不是白来的，苏浩纵然对虚幻现实有了了解实力就提升了不知道多少倍。 但是他清楚，这在时间掌控中，也不过是冰山一角。
李甜甜如果胆敢全面爆发，实力非常之强大！ 掌控未来。
苏浩不解。
不过，问了一下万成当初的情况之后，苏浩默然。 万成当时也不在，不过据说，当时出手之人，似乎是世界化。
苏浩苦笑。
那就没的说了。
“怎么办？” 苏浩沉吟。
既然事情已经了解了，他反而镇定了，李甜甜如今出事，那么无论如何，他必须得出手相救！
只是，怎么救是个大问题。
这不是战争学院！
这是天家！
不仅仅是十大家族，还是十大家族中的最强者！ 更关键是，这次是要去对方的地盘，将李甜甜就回来！
“哒哒。”
苏浩轻点着手指。
思索一下，首先，他得了解事情是否属实，这件事情，容不得半点失误。 万成得到的消息不过是边边角角，远远不够。
“刷！”
光幕弹出。
苏浩强大的黑客技术发挥作用，片刻之后，就杀入天家的系统之中，将当初发生的事情给找了出来。 果然。
不出意外的，看见了李甜甜的踪迹。
李甜甜硬闯天家，一路所向披靡，几个负责镇守的领域化一级也被他当场干掉，这些他早就预示过，自然毫不在乎。 但是在最后即将闯入天家的时候，一位世界化回来了，结果，不言而喻！
看在蓝廷旭的面子上，没有杀他。
但是估计婚礼之中，恐怕是不会放过他了。 同时，为了防止蓝廷旭泄露消息，在结婚之前，蓝廷旭就被禁制离开天家。
“果然如此。” 苏浩沉吟片刻。
天家很霸道，可以看得出，在天子和小蝶成婚这件事上，看不出丝毫婉转的余地，纵然是蓝廷旭，都给暂时性软禁了！
苏浩回忆了一下这个女孩。
他上次见面，还是在这女孩出手的时候，因为他们和学校老师的对抗，这个女孩飘然出手，出乎意料的动人。
这个心结，他不可能放下！
苏浩苦笑。
要真这么简单就好了！ 试问，如果是他自己呢？
如果将整个事情缓过来，变成他和陈怡然呢？
被救了之后，会甘心离去吗？
纵然再艰难，也要杀进去，他也要见小蝶一面！ 也就是说，这件事情，必须分成两步来处理。

Chapter 723 - Wedding?
Su Hao sorted out his newly found strength.
Since the days in Gaoyuan City, he had stepped into the peak professional realm. After fighting there, he improved even more. Hiding from the limelight for six months, Kingdom of Heaven and his own strength rose another level. Then, when Wan Cheng broke through, everyone in Kingdom of Heaven entered the domain realm.
Finally, the smart computer was completed!
With its improved computing power, it led to an overall core improvement.
At this point, model analysis in the virtualization aspect was successfully completed!
Although he still is a peak professional esper, his actual strength was extremely terrifying! At this time, Su Hao finally knew where Wan Cheng’s strong self-confidence came from.
Even if I am a professional esper, with one slash, I can still kill you, a domain esper!
Today, he achieved that same feat!
His next goal would be realism and then stepping into the domain realm!
There was no longer any regret within his heart.
He had ensured that his sister, Su Ling, could reach the highest spot; with her talent, she is definitely qualified to walk even further. Plus, with this, even if he isn’t here, his family can still be well protected and he would have fewer things to worry about. As for the drug matter, he would leave everything to his master to handle.
Dealing with the Pharmacist Association is still fine, but regarding how to manage a business, he was totally clueless. He had no time to learn and would never consider wasting his precious time on learning. However, with their current identities, their future income would be secured.
“I can now fully focus on cultivating.” Su Hao sat cross-legged and started immersing himself.
He was consolidating his foundation. Although there is no increment in realms, his strength did have a huge boost. He needed some time to consolidate the newly found strength.
One month quietly passed, the news of Su Hao breaking through was gradually fading out from the limelight. After all, a genius who forcefully broke through wasn’t worth much attention. Also, there was a peak world esper behind his back; thus, those who were hostile to him were too lazy to pay attention to him.
Once again, Su Hao faded away from the horizon.
Meanwhile, all the attention was on Wan Cheng. His perfect breakthrough and absolute domain from the start clearly indicated the birth of a super genius.
This is the self-confidence of a genius.
Similarly, in all corners of the Federation, there are many people unknown to the world or who were forgotten.
For example, within the thunderclouds, there was a white figure wandering among the thunder. Or in an endless glacier, there seemed to be a frozen figure. Another example, at the top of a mountain, a happy-go-lucky young man was sweating in excitement.
These people seemed to have long been forgotten by the world.
Tian Long Court.
Although Su Hao went out of public view, one couldn’t deny the fact that he’s someone special. Although without any capability to use an absolute domain, Su Hao’s original strength could rival those on higher levels. To break through into the domain realm, he should be much stronger although not as strong as Wan Cheng.
At least, all the students had such a perception.
Moreover, since Su Hao hadn’t graduated and there hasn’t been any news about him, he had become the most mysterious character in Tian Long Court.
Time flew by, and one more month passed.
In the cultivation room, Su Hao was still motionless. Other spots in the room already began to show traces of dust. Suddenly, Su Hao’s mental state trembled as he woke up from his deep immersion.
Swish!
Opening his eyes, two rays of golden light flashed.
This is the aura of energy accumulating.
“What’s going on?” Su Hao’s heart skipped a beat.
Evaluating his current strength, Su Hao determined his foundation is well consolidated. To show himself now wouldn’t do any harm. After all, he didn’t intend to stay here for long. However, what made Su Hao worry was that flash of uneasiness in his heart.
“Something’s amiss.” Su Hao took a deep breath.
Also, since the completion of virtualization, Su Hao could sense that this is a kind of a warning sign that something bad had happened!
Who’s in trouble?
Family, friend? Su Hao made some contacts for a bit and found that his surrounding friends and family were fine. Then, who was it? Could it be those who went into their own cultivation journey? Chen Yiran was brought away by Su Wan. Although Su Wan was only a half-step domain esper, Su Hao never doubted his aunt’s real strength.
This isn’t a joke, as someone who followed his dad all over the world, how could his aunt’s real strength be weak?
Even though she’s injured, Su Wan’s insight isn’t comparable to an average person. There is no way they would be in danger. Then…
What about the others?
Su Hao activated the smart computer to deduce possible scenarios. When the focus was on Li Tiantian, Su Hao could detect something wrong. Li Tiantian couldn’t be contacted!
Su Hao became alarmed.
This isn’t strange. After all, one would usually be cut off from the world during closed-door cultivation. However, if Lan Tingxu also failed to be contacted, then things became troublesome.
“Could they have gone to cultivate together?” Su Hao’s eyebrows scrunched up.
With only limited information, he couldn’t analyze anything.
However, when Su Hao was searching for more news, his wrist shook because this news instantly changed his expression the moment he caught a glimpse.
Tian Zi and Xiao Die were about to get married?!
Li Tiantian disappeared… Lan Tingxu was under house arrest…
Damn it!
What the hell is going on?
Su Hao’s heart skipped a beat. He then asked Wan Cheng to help investigate Lan Tingxu’s situation and soon obtained an answer. Li Tiantian somehow angered the Tian family for an unknown reason and got captured. As for Lan Tingxu, he was under house arrest for trying to help him!
“Imprisoned! House arrest!” Su Hao’s eyes went cold.
Ignore Li Tiantian for a moment and focus on Lan Tingxu; Su Hao had a good impression of this uncle. Lan Tingxu is someone who really acts for mankind! Originally, he thought that with the identity as a Federal Guardian, the Tian family wouldn’t take action. He never expected the top ten families to be so arrogant!
Su Hao suddenly remembered a statement from before.
In this era of origin ability, although the Federation unites mankind and governs over everyone, due to the distribution of strength, they lack the ability to control everything!
Once again, Su Hao had a better understanding of the top ten families’ strength.
“Emperor, huh…” Su Hao clenched his fists.
Even Su Hao would be wary!
It’s extremely terrifying!
That time control isn’t for nothing. Su Hao, who mastered Illusion Reality to a new degree, knew how much of an improvement he enjoyed, but this was only at the tip of the iceberg. If Li Tiantian is to use his full strength, the outcome would be unimaginable!
As one who could control the future, the Tian family has what to capture him?
Su Hao couldn’t understand.
However, after asking about the actual situation from Wan Cheng, Su Hao went silent. Wan Cheng wasn’t there at that time, but there was this rumor that the one who captured him was a world esper.
“World esper…” Su Hao bitterly smiled.
Then there is nothing to say.
“What to do now?” Su Hao pondered.
Since he understood the current situation, he actually became calmer. Since Li Tiantian was in deep trouble, no matter what, he had to rescue Li Tiantian!
However, the issue here is how to save him.
This isn’t Zhanzheng College.
This is the Tian family!
Not only one of the top ten families but the strongest one among them! The main point here is he has to invade the foe’s territory to bring Li Tiantian back! Moreover, with the news of Tian Zi and Xiao Die’s marriage, the security would be even tighter. If he’s to go there, only death awaits him.
Tap, tap~
Su Hao gently tapped his fingers.
As he thought further, he knew he needed to verify how accurate the information is. After all, he couldn’t afford even the slightest mistake. What Wan Cheng obtained was only the tip of the iceberg, and it was far from sufficient.
Swish!
A virtual screen appeared.
Su Hao’s powerful hacking ability finally had some use. A moment later, he invaded the Tian family’s network and found out what actually happened at that time.
As he predicted, he saw information about Li Tiantian.
Li Tiantian charged at the Tian family. Those several domain espers who were in charge of guarding the family were killed instantly. This was something Su Hao could have guessed. Naturally, he wouldn’t care about it. However, as Li Tiantian was approaching the crucial moment, a world esper appeared! The ensuing result was self-evident!
The Tian family didn’t kill him to give some face to Lan Tingxu.
However, before the marriage is completed, Li Tiantian wouldn’t be let off. At the same time, in order to prevent Lan Tingxu from leaking any news, before the marriage is completed, he was banned from leaving the Tian family.
“As I expected.” Su Hao pondered for a moment.
The Tian family is extremely domineering. There is no room for any mishaps to happen with this marriage. Even Lan Tingxu was temporarily barred from leaving! One could see how determined the Tian family is.
“Xiao Die…” Su Hao recalled that girl for a bit.
The last time they met was when the girl took action. Due to their confrontation with the teacher, she intercepted. He could clearly see how much pain and despair was hidden within Li Tiantian’s eyes!
This knot, he could never let it go!
“Save Li Tiantian?” Su Hao bitterly smiled.
If it were that simple, that would be great!
He questioned himself, what if he was in the same spot? What if he is to change the people in this scenario to him and Chen Yiran? After being saved, would he be willing to leave?
If he is to leave like this, why would he charge there in the first place?
No matter how difficult it is, he would still charge forward for the sake of seeing Xiao Die once! In other words, this matter needed to be divided into two steps before it could be dealt with.

"value": "Su Yu stroked his chin and gave a hollow laugh, but didn’t say anything else. Yu Linglong rolled her pretty eyes, smiled at Su Yu, and revealed her white teeth.\nShe then said, “If you don’t mind it, you can just share my VIP Lounge with me. You can watch the auction clearly in it, and it’s also peaceful and cozy. It can also help you avoid being exposed in front of everyone, as no one will be able to see you, even if you auctioned off an extremely precious product.”\nSu Yu revealed a faint smile. “Shopkeeper Yu, thank you for your concern. I appreciate your kindness.”\nHu Wangui started mocking him at this time, “Just let him leave! He shouldn’t get to enjoy such fortune!”\nAfter he spoke, he glared at the maids and asked, “What are you still standing here for? Quickly, take us to the VIP Lounges!”\nThis group of maids didn’t dare offend him, and their leader rushed to do as she was told. “Understood, sir! Please show us your VIP cards, and we will bring you there according to your card ranking.”\nEven VIP Lounges here were varied. Some were better than others. The closer the lounge was to the front, the better and more luxurious its services would be. This meant that not all people capable of getting into a VIP Lounge were on equal footing, and one could see the disparity between their status just through their order of the line at that moment.\nHu Wangui threw his VIP Card at her and looked around in disdain at the other people here. “Do you still need to take a look at it? It’s obvious that I am the most important, so you will have to lead me there first!”\nThe maid quietly nodded an acknowledgment to him before still continuing to check everyone else’s cards carefully. But, she didn’t even look at Su Yu. This was probably because she knew that he didn’t have a VIP Card.\nUpon witnessing this, Hu Wangui sneered at him. “Even a little maid knows what you amount to! Hehe.”\nHowever, when his voice had just echoed through the space, they witnessed that maid reveal a faint smile. She then walked up to Su Yu and asked, “You are old Mister Su, aren’t you? Please follow me. The Second VIP Lounge has already been prepared for you. It is waiting for you to honor it with your presence.”\nEveryone at the scene was astounded when they heard this, especially Hu Wangui, whose expression became gloomy. “What do you mean by this? Why would a martial artist, who doesn’t even have a VIP Card, be able to get a better lounge than me?”\nHis VIP card has the number seven marked on it, which represented the Seventh VIP Lounge, and there was a great disparity between it and Su Yu’s Second VIP Lounge.\nHu Wangui’s face stiffened as he then asked, “Are you trying to make a fool out of me? Are your Red Blood Palace’s Auction House’s VIP Lounges so cheap that anyone can get into them?”\nThe maid wore a faint smile as she replied respectfully, “Sir, please calm down. You may be unaware of this, but Mister Su is our Red Blood Palace’s Auction House’s distinguished guest today, and the Pavilion Master has already instructed us to take such measures in welcoming him. Hence, the reason why he doesn’t need a VIP card.”\nUpon hearing this, everyone was startled. The auction house’s distinguished guest? A small elixir store’s shopkeeper? They couldn’t understand this at all, and this was especially the case for Fei Hang.\nFei Hang was the Heavenly Fragrance Elixir Store’s shopkeeper, and his store was ahead of all the elixir stores in sales and profits. Yet, in the end, a small elixir store’s shopkeeper surpassed him! He found this matter to be utterly unbelievable!\nHu Wangui couldn’t understand it either, and wondered… What ability does this Level Three Fairy Realm old man have that enabled him to become the auction house’s distinguished guest? Moreover, I am still a great and distinguished guest! What about me?\nOn this day, the Deputy General Manager would come here personally, which explained why the empty First VIP Lounge had been left for him. If he hadn’t been one of the guests, even the absolute best First VIP Lounge would have been taken by the old man in front of them! It was absolutely unfathomable!\nOnce he got to the VIP Lounge, he found several pretty maids already waiting inside, all of them awaiting his arrival and ready to comply with Su Yu’s every command. The room was decorated luxuriously, and all its furnishings and accoutrements were made from precious materials.\nA giant crystalline glass window was at the front of the room, and one could see through it into all corners of the auction site below. Moreover, people outside couldn’t see into the room, which ensured that the distinguished guests’ identities wouldn’t be exposed.\nThis satisfied Su Yu greatly, and he smiled as he casually grabbed a precious spirit fruit from a nearby tray and waited patiently for the auction to begin. After an hour had passed, the auction site was finally opened to the public and a large number of guests entered.\nThe several thousand seats were all filled completely in just five minutes. Most people had come here just for Hu Wangui’s and his two companions’ goods. After all, the shrewdest people here were all aware that this was a contest between the Red BLood Palace and the Central Prefecture, and the one who could get the last laugh would be the ultimate winner.\nHowever, what they really hoped to see was what was so amazing about the three products that would cause the Central Prefecture’s faction to dare to arrogantly choose the Red Blood Palace’s Auction House on purpose. Time passed slowly, and just when the site had become packed with people, an auctioneer showed up on stage.\n“Sirs, I will be in charge of this auction.” The old man wore an amiable expression, and the moment he appeared, a discussion arose among the crowd…\n“What? It’s unexpectedly Master Gao! I thought that he had already retired and had since been placed in charge of only inspecting treasures? Why has he appeared on stage once again?”\n“That’s right, Master Gao is one of Tianya City’s few great appraisers, and he’s also the only person from the Red Blood Palace that ever surpassed the Tianya Auction House. In fact, the Tianya Auction House’s great appraiser was a disciple Master Gao taught himself, and the Tianya Auction House tried many times to snatch Master Gao from them, but he rejected them every time!”\n“Wow! I really didn’t expect that I would get to see Master Gao on stage ever again. It’s really a nice surprise!”\n“Hehe, since he’s here, we won’t need to worry about this auction’s products’ authenticities.”\n“Since Master Gao is here, it appears that I didn’t end up making a trip here in vain!”\nMaster Gao? Su Yu was surprised to hear the crowd’s reaction, and he asked the maids behind him, “Who is this Master Gao?” It seemed like he was a respected character in Tianya City.\nThe maid closest to him looked at Master Gao and revealed a respectful expression. “Master Gao is a person with broad knowledge and experience. His cultivation level isn’t high and he’s just in the Half Fairy Realm, but everyone in Tianya City still respects him. Even Almighty Divine Masters will frequently seek him out and consult him. There was once even an All Creation Old Monster, who traveled a long distance to Tianya City just to consult with him.”\nEven an All Creation Old Monster consulted him? Su Yu was flabbergasted to hear this. So, there is still such a character here?\n“Master Gao has studied many fields, having reached a high level in each, and he’s highly respected due to this. Moreover, he’s a just and fair person, which is why he is popular among the crowd.”\nUpon hearing that he was a person proficient in many fields, Su Yu revealed a pensive look.\nThen, Master Gao spoke from the stage once again, “Sirs, I thank you on behalf of the auction house for traveling here, and I welcome you all here on its behalf.” His welcoming words received thunderous cheers in response.\n“Now, I won’t continue wasting your precious time. We will start the auction now,” Master Gao announced.\nSu Yu’s gaze became grave upon hearing that the auction was finally starting.\n“Please bring the first product,” Master Gao requested with a smile.\nA pretty young lady immediately walked out on the stage. She was wearing a smile and carrying a red tray. The tray was covered with a red cloth, so no one could see what was on it.\n“This product was obtained by our auction house three months ago, and even I wanted to keep it for myself! But, it’s a pity that its owner wanted to sell it here in the auction. Sirs, if you have any interest in it, please don’t miss this chance,” Master Gao urged in a mystifying tone.\nThe crowd immediately went into an uproar…\n“What object is so amazing that even Master Gao desired to keep it for himself?”\n“Since Master Gao took a liking to it, it must be extraordinary!”\nSu Yu observed everything that was occurring from above, and he couldn’t help but sigh in admiration of Master Gao’s skills. He had expertly managed to arouse the crowd’s excitement with just a few words. At this moment, Even Su Yu couldn’t help but become very curious about the object on the tray.\n“Hehe, I won’t keep you all in suspense any longer,” Master Gao said as he lifted the red cloth, revealing a white rhizome.\nIt was as big as a pinkie and seemed just like a tree root, but it was as pure and translucent as jade and shone with a bright luster. Many eyes among the audience widened up as the people observed this plant, but no one managed to recognize what it was exactly.\n“Sirs, may I ask whether anyone can recognize this plant’s origin and function?” Master Gao asked in the same mystifying tone.\nEveryone just looked at each other in dismay. They couldn’t recognize it. Even though they were all martial artists, who had made great accomplishments in their cultivations, strangely enough, none of them knew what it was at all!\nWhen the crowd was just wagging their tongues excitedly about this rhizome, a sweet voice echoed out from among the crowd, “If I can answer your question correctly, can you gift it to me?”\nThe crowd followed the direction that the voice came from, and as they looked over, they were mesmerized by what they saw. They just witnessed a lovely young girl, who seemed like a porcelain doll, sitting at the front with her chin supported by her hands.\nShe was waving her snow-white leg in the air, while wearing a lovely smile on her face. It was rare to see such a lovely young girl here!\nWhen Su Yu looked over at her, black lines appeared on his forehead. Gongsun Wuxie? Why is she present everywhere I go?\nMaster Gao wore an amiable smile as he replied, “It isn’t up to me to decide this, but if you can reply correctly, I can certainly ask the Pavilion Master to give you a discounted fee.”\nShe then jumped out of her seat and moved closer to stare at the jade-like rhizome, while licking her lips. She then said with a smile, “If I am guessing correctly, it should be the Yellow Spring Tree Root! This plant grows in the Extreme Yin Lands and relies upon absorbing the soul power that is drifting through the world in order to grow.”\nShe paused to glance around at the audience for a brief moment, then continued, “This explains why it contains a large amount of essence. If one consumes it, it will cleanse his soul, and increase his soul power by a hundredth! It’s a rare and valuable treasure, which has appeared just two times in Tianya City in the past!”\nAn amazed looked appeared in Master Gao’s eyes, and he clicked his tongue in wonder. “Little girl, who is your teacher? How do you know so much about it?”\nGongsun Wuxie raised her head proudly. It seemed like she wanted everyone to notice that she was as confident as a peacock. She then said, “I’m a peerless genius, and I learned everything without a teacher. I don’t need anyone to teach me!”\nMaster Gao didn’t get angry at her bold assertion, but just wore a more amiable look on his face as he chuckled, then said, “Hehe, continue studying on your own then, and your future achievements will surely be great.”\nAfter he spoke, Master Gao looked at the shocked crowd and said with a smile, “That’s right, it’s really the Yellow Spring Tree Root from the rumors! It grows only in the Ghost Prison, and it’s difficult to find it in the human world. It can increase its consumer’s soul power by a hundredth, and I can guarantee this matter to you all personally!”\nThe crowd went into an uproar once again…\n“What? It’s unexpectedly a spiritual object that is capable of increasing one’ soul power?”\nThe crowd became impassioned. No one expected that the first product would be this amazing!\nIt must be known that the rarest goods were treasures capable of nourishing one’s soul, and one could usually only run into them by pure luck. However, such a product was now just before all of their eyes! It was like a fire, which ignited their emotions and caused them to boil over!\nGongsun Wuxie licked her lips and said with a smile. “I really didn’t make a trip here in vain, as this object is rare indeed!”\nUpon witnessing that the crowd was already stirred up enough, Master Gao announced in a loud voice, “The Yellow Spring Tree Root’s bidding price will start at thirty thousand crystals. You may begin bidding for it now…”\nSuch an inflated price didn’t deter the frantic crowd because a worldly treasure that was capable of increasing one’s soul power was surely a peerless treasure, which couldn’t be described with just mere words! As the crowd started competing over it, it seemed like they had all lost their minds!\nAs they frantically scrambled to outbid one another, its thirty thousand crystals price rose quickly to fifty thousand in just several seconds!\nAfter all, one hundred thousand crystals was a sum that would tempt even an Almighty Divine Master! Upon hearing this, Su Yu’s thought… Does this wealthy girl wish to be robbed?\nThis price already surpassed the Yellow Spring Tree Root’s true value by a great deal, which explained why the sounds of people fighting over it had all but disappeared. In the end, Master Gao nailed down the deal and announced with a smile who won the bid for the Yellow Spring Tree Root.\nSu Yu clicked his tongue and thought… If even a product that can increase one’s soul power just by a hundredth percent is this expensive, wouldn’t my Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid’s price be worth an even more ridiculous price?\nUpon witnessing this, Su Yu calmed down and felt much more assured. The Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid’s effects were far greater than the Yellow Spring Tree Root’s, and since even the former could be sold for a hundred thousand crystals, his Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid’s price certainly wouldn’t any lower than that.\nWhile people were sighing in regret for losing out on a chance to win the first product, there was still an air of excitement in the crowd, as all of their emotions had been properly stirred! Upon seeing this, Master Gao wore a smile as he said, “I believe that you will be all the more interested in the second product up for auction…”\nA maid carried over a jade box at that moment. It was as big as a palm and was bright red. It was a precious Fire Jade, and such a big chunk of it was worth more than ten thousand crystals!\n“It isn’t easy to find such a big chunk of Fire Jade. As expected, since Master Gao is in charge, there won’t be any substandard products here! They will all most certainly be very fine products!” someone in the crowd exclaimed.\nThe crowd stared at the Fire Jade, all mulling over it inwardly. This object was useful in nourishing fire attribute magical treasures, and it also had outstanding effects. Moreover, it was quite difficult to find! Thus, many people were tempted by the object\nMaster Gao swept the crowd with his gaze and revealed a mysterious smile as he said, “Sirs, you should have already noticed that this is a jade box made by Fire Jade, and its price is high, but I still want to say that it isn’t the actual product that is up for auction. The actual product is just a grain of a crystal that is inside the jade box!”\nWhat he meant by a grain of crystal was a small piece of crystal that was the size of a grain of sand. The crowd was stunned by this, and they all wondered… The Fire Jade is just an affiliated material that contains the real treasure?\nWhen the crowd observed it carefully, they discovered that the Fire Jade Box really had a shining grain of crystal within it, which was a bright red color. It was unknown what kind of object it was exactly.\nThe expression of Su Yu, who was observing the site from the VIP Lounge, changed gradually and became grave. Then, in the end, surprise appeared on his face.\nHe stroked his spatial ring subconsciously with his finger, while his gaze remained locked onto the scarlet grain of crystal. He then murmured in surprise, “The Saint Blood Soul Nourishing Stone!”\nThe grain of crystal in the box was none other than the Saint Blood Soul Nourishing Stone! Even until this moment, Su Yu still hadn’t managed to discover this mysterious object’s origin, even though he had flipped through many ancient books and records."

苏羽摸了摸下巴，干笑一声，也没说什么。
玉玲珑则妙目一转，冲苏羽绽颜一笑，露出洁白皓齿：“你若不嫌弃的话，倒是可以跟我共用一间贵宾室，在贵宾室能更清楚看清拍卖场的情况，而且十分安静，环境舒适，你也能避免自己被暴露在有心人眼中，以免因为你怕卖品过于珍贵的缘故，被人盯上了。”
苏羽微微一笑：“多谢玉掌柜好意，在下心领了。”
胡晚归适时的讥诮：“让他上去，也享受不了这种福分！”
说着，瞪向几个侍女：“还站着干什么，还不领我们上贵宾室？”
一行侍女哪里敢得罪：“是，大人！ 请先出示你们的贵宾卡，按照卡的顺序依次带你们上去。”
即便是贵宾室，也有高下之分，越靠前的贵宾室位置越好，内部服务越奢华。
并非进入贵宾室便意味着所有人平起平坐，顺序之分，也能看出双方的地位差距。 胡晚归丢出自己的贵宾卡，轻蔑扫视了在场几人一眼：“还用看么？
侍女口中小心翼翼回答，仍然小心翼翼看了所有人的贵宾卡，唯独没有看苏羽，大概也知道，苏羽没有贵宾卡吧。
见状，胡晚归嗤笑：“小小侍女都知道你是什么德行，呵呵。”
可是，话音尚未落下，便见那侍女面含微笑，来到苏羽跟前：“是苏老先生吧，请跟我来，二号贵宾室已经准备妥当，静候您光临。”
费航脸色顿时一沉：“你什么意思？ 一个连贵宾卡都没有的武者，也能随便排在我前面？”
他的贵宾卡标注着七号，正是七号贵宾室，与苏羽的二号贵宾室相差甚远。
胡晚归更是脸色发僵，忍不住沉声道：“你在愚弄我吗？ 赤血宫的拍卖行贵宾室这么不值钱，随便什么人都能上去？”
侍女含着微笑，恭敬道：“诸位息怒，诸位有所不知，苏先生是我们赤血宫拍卖行的贵客，阁主大人早有吩咐，因此无需验证贵宾卡。”
话一说完，所有人都愣住了，拍卖行的贵客？ 一个小丹铺的掌柜？
他们无法理解，尤其是费航！ 他身为天香丹号的掌柜，是所有丹铺的领头人，结果，却被一个小小的丹铺掌柜给压在头顶！
这令他极为难以相信！ 胡晚归也理解不能，到底这个三品飞仙的老头，何德何能，能够成为拍卖行的贵宾？ 并且还是极品贵宾！
今日是副总管亲临之日，一号贵宾室这才空缺，留给他，若非如此，恐怕一号鬼兵是将会是眼前的这个老头手中之物。
苏羽悠然一笑，冲玉玲珑拱拱手，在一众人错愕不解中率先上楼。 进入贵宾室，里面已经有好几位靓丽的侍女并排等候在内，随时听从苏羽吩咐。 室内装潢极其奢华，均是用珍惜的材料镶嵌而成。
而室内墙上，则悬挂一张极其巨大的水晶玻璃，透过玻璃能看到下方巨大的拍卖场任何角落，而从外面，则无法看穿室内情况，确保贵宾的真容不被察觉。
随手抓了一颗珍惜的灵果，耐心等待拍卖会开场。 半个时辰后，拍卖会终于放开，陆续有大批的客人进入拍卖会。 数千张席位，在一盏茶内立刻被挤得爆满。
他们中大部分都是冲着胡晚归三人要拍卖的物品而来，明眼人都知道，这是中州与赤血宫的一场角逐，谁能笑到最后，谁就赢了。
当然，他们最希望看到的，还是三种物品有何了不得，以至于中州势力如此嚣张，故意选择赤血宫拍卖行。 时间一点一滴过去，当全场人满为患时，一个年过花甲的拍卖师才姗姗来迟。
“诸位，此次拍卖就由老朽负责。” 花甲老者神态慈祥，笑呵呵走上拍卖台。
“什么，居然是高大师！ 他不是据说已经退隐，专门负责鉴宝了吗，怎么会又出现在台前？”
人群中发出惊叹。 “是啊，高大师可是天涯城数一数二的鉴宝大师，也是赤血宫唯一能压过天涯拍卖行的地方！ 那位天涯拍卖行的大鉴定师，就是此人教导出来的弟子！
“嘶，没想到还能再在拍卖台上见到高大师的风采，真是惊喜！”
“呵呵，若是如此的话，此次拍卖品真实性完全无需担心。”
“有高大师在，此次拍卖会不虚此行！”
高大师？ 苏羽微微诧异，问向身后一排侍女：“这位高大师是什么人？” 此人在天涯城，似乎很受人尊敬的样子。
身后最近的侍女望向下方拍卖台上的高大师，目露尊敬神情：“高大师是一位见识和学识都十分渊博的人，他修为不高，只有半仙修为，可天涯城没有谁不尊敬，因为他的渊博知识，常常有神主大能虚心向他请教问题，甚至还曾有过一位万象老怪的存在，不远千里赶到天涯城，向他请教。”
万象老怪都请教？ 苏羽深感诧异，还有这等人物？
“高大师在各种领域的研究，都达到极高境界，为人所尊敬，并且为人公正，深得人心。”
各种领域都精通的人么？ 苏羽目露思索之光。
此时台上的高大师再度发话：“感谢诸位不远千里来参加本次拍卖会，老朽谨代表赤血宫拍卖行，表示欢迎！” 他的话立即迎来雷鸣般的喝彩声。
“好了，老朽就不再耽搁大家宝贵的时间，拍卖会现在开始！”
苏羽瞳孔微微一凝，拍卖会终于来了！
“有请第一件拍卖品！” 高大师面带微笑说道。
顿时，从幕后走出一个美丽少女，笑吟吟捧着一面红色托盘，上面由红布盖住，令人看不清里面的东西。
“这件拍卖品，是本拍卖行三月前收到的，老朽本想留为己用，奈何物品的主人只想将其在拍卖会上卖出，各位道友，若有缘的话，切不可错过。” 高大师神秘说道。
人群立刻炸开了锅。
“什么东西是高大师也想私下得到的？”
“高大师阅历非凡，被他看中的东西，定然了得！”
苏羽居高临下，将下面的情景全部看在眼中，不由暗暗感叹高大师的厉害，三言两语就调动了所有人情绪。 包括苏羽都不禁对托盘中的东西产生了好奇。
高大师一手抓住红布，将其掀开，顿时一条白色的根茎，清晰映入所有人眼帘。
那是一条小拇指粗的根茎，像是某种树木的树根，只是通体经营如玉，浑圆饱满，充斥莹莹光泽，仿佛一团玉。 台下一双双眼睛，睁得老大，争相观察此物，可却无人认得此物是什么。
“请问诸位，可有人认得此物的来历和作用？” 高大师神秘笑问道。
按理说，他们都是修为有成的武者，而能被邀请参加拍卖会的，多半还是有身份之辈，古怪的是，全场却无人认识。
正自众人激烈讨论这截根茎时，人群中却出现一道清脆如黄鹂的甜美声音：“我如果答对了，能送给我么？”
众人顺着声音来源看去，顿时有惊艳之感！ 只见一个可爱如瓷娃娃的美丽少女，正坐在最后一排，双手拖着下吧，一双雪白的小腿，在空中晃荡，脸上则挂着笑吟吟的可爱微笑。
这么可爱的少女，实在少见的很。
苏羽也望过去，不禁额头冒出一排黑线，公孙无邪？ 怎么哪里都有她？
台上，高大师和蔼微笑：“老朽可做不了主，不过你若能答对，老朽可以请求阁主，免去你一些费用。”
公孙无邪翻了翻白眼，轻声嘀咕：“小气！” 她从椅子上蹦跳下来，盯着如玉一般的根茎，舔了舔嘴唇，笑眯眯道：“如果没看错，应该是黄泉树根吧？
此物生长于极阴之地，靠着吸收天地游离的灵魂之力成长，因此根茎中沉淀着大量精华，若将其吞服，可以洗涤灵魂，并增加本人百分之一的灵魂力量，是不可多得的瑰宝，此物在天涯城历史上，只出现过两次而已。”
高大师目露惊奇之色，啧啧称奇：“小娃娃，你师从何人？ 竟知道得这么详细？”
公孙无邪雪白的脖子一扬，小脑袋扬得高高的，生怕别人看不出她是一头骄傲的小孔雀：“本姑奶奶天纵之才，无师自通，还需要人教么？”
高大师不怒反而慈爱有佳：“呵呵，好生学习，日后成就不会低。”
说着，高大师望向已然陷入震撼中的众人，笑道：“不错，这正是传闻中的黄泉树根，通常只生长在鬼狱，人间难寻，能增长吞服者百分之一的灵魂力量，这一点，老朽可用荣誉保证。”
顿时，人群再度炸开锅。
“什么，竟然是增进灵魂的天地灵物！”
人群一下子沸腾起来，他们没想过第一件物品就这般惊人！
谁都知道，最难寻找的，就是滋养灵魂的天灵地宝，可遇不可求。
如今它活生生出现在所有人面前，仿佛一把火，点燃了所有人的激情。
眼看全场情绪被调动，高大师扬声宣布：“黄泉树根底价，三万晶石！ 现在开始竞拍！”
如此夸张的价格，丝毫都挡不住人们的疯狂。 增进灵魂之力的天灵地宝，这绝对是无法言喻的至宝。
人群的竞价，仿佛疯了一般，你挣我喊，三万晶石，在短短几个呼吸，就飙升到五万晶石！
十万晶石，神主大能都心动的数目啊！ 苏羽眼皮微微一挑，这个小富婆，是想被人打劫吗？
十万，已经远远超过黄泉树根应有的价值，争抢的声音戛然而止。 最后，高大师敲定木槌，笑呵呵宣布了黄泉树根的归属。
苏羽微微咂舌：“一点增进百分之一灵魂力量的物品就这么昂贵，我的炼心红尘液岂非更为夸张？”
看到这里，苏羽安定了不少，炼心红尘液的效果，比这截黄泉树根的效果，强了不是一星半点！ 它尚且能拍卖出十万价格，炼心红尘液绝不会少到哪里去！
第一件拍卖品就这样在一声声遗憾长吁中结束，可他们的精神状态完全被调动起来。 高大师笑容满面：“第二件怕卖品，相信大家或许会更有兴趣。”
一个侍女手捧一枚玉盒，玉盒有巴掌大小，通体火红色，乃是十分珍贵的炎玉，这么大一个，足足价值上万晶石。
“这么大块的炎玉，的确不容易得到，果然高大师出马，就没有次品，件件皆是精品。”
人群盯着炎玉，各有盘算，此物的作用在于滋养火属性法宝，效果十分显著，并且寻常的时候，很难遇到。
此物的出现，很是令一批人心动。 高大师扫视一周，神秘笑道：“想必诸位认出来，这是炎玉炼制而成的玉盒，价值昂贵，可，老朽想说的是，它并非怕卖品。
真正的拍卖品，是玉盒中的一粒沙晶！” 所谓沙晶，便是如沙子一般的细小晶体。
众人定睛望去，仔细观看才发现，在炎玉玉盒内部，的确有一粒闪闪发光的沙子，通体血红色，不知是何物。
正在贵宾室观看的苏羽，悠然的深情渐渐变化，随后慢慢凝重，最后露出吃惊之色！
他下意识摸了摸自己手指上的空间戒指，目光牢牢锁定那枚红色沙晶，心头惊道：“圣血养魂石！
！” 那玉盒中的沙晶，不是别无，就是圣血养魂石！ 苏羽搜遍古籍，也没能查出来历的神秘之物！

Su Yu stroked his chin and gave a hollow laugh, but didn’t say anything else. Yu Linglong rolled her pretty eyes, smiled at Su Yu, and revealed her white teeth.
She then said, “If you don’t mind it, you can just share my VIP Lounge with me. You can watch the auction clearly in it, and it’s also peaceful and cozy. It can also help you avoid being exposed in front of everyone, as no one will be able to see you, even if you auctioned off an extremely precious product.”
Su Yu revealed a faint smile. “Shopkeeper Yu, thank you for your concern. I appreciate your kindness.”
Hu Wangui started mocking him at this time, “Just let him leave! He shouldn’t get to enjoy such fortune!”
After he spoke, he glared at the maids and asked, “What are you still standing here for? Quickly, take us to the VIP Lounges!”
This group of maids didn’t dare offend him, and their leader rushed to do as she was told. “Understood, sir! Please show us your VIP cards, and we will bring you there according to your card ranking.”
Even VIP Lounges here were varied. Some were better than others. The closer the lounge was to the front, the better and more luxurious its services would be. This meant that not all people capable of getting into a VIP Lounge were on equal footing, and one could see the disparity between their status just through their order of the line at that moment.
Hu Wangui threw his VIP Card at her and looked around in disdain at the other people here. “Do you still need to take a look at it? It’s obvious that I am the most important, so you will have to lead me there first!”
The maid quietly nodded an acknowledgment to him before still continuing to check everyone else’s cards carefully. But, she didn’t even look at Su Yu. This was probably because she knew that he didn’t have a VIP Card.
Upon witnessing this, Hu Wangui sneered at him. “Even a little maid knows what you amount to! Hehe.”
However, when his voice had just echoed through the space, they witnessed that maid reveal a faint smile. She then walked up to Su Yu and asked, “You are old Mister Su, aren’t you? Please follow me. The Second VIP Lounge has already been prepared for you. It is waiting for you to honor it with your presence.”
Everyone at the scene was astounded when they heard this, especially Hu Wangui, whose expression became gloomy. “What do you mean by this? Why would a martial artist, who doesn’t even have a VIP Card, be able to get a better lounge than me?”
His VIP card has the number seven marked on it, which represented the Seventh VIP Lounge, and there was a great disparity between it and Su Yu’s Second VIP Lounge.
Hu Wangui’s face stiffened as he then asked, “Are you trying to make a fool out of me? Are your Red Blood Palace’s Auction House’s VIP Lounges so cheap that anyone can get into them?”
The maid wore a faint smile as she replied respectfully, “Sir, please calm down. You may be unaware of this, but Mister Su is our Red Blood Palace’s Auction House’s distinguished guest today, and the Pavilion Master has already instructed us to take such measures in welcoming him. Hence, the reason why he doesn’t need a VIP card.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled. The auction house’s distinguished guest? A small elixir store’s shopkeeper? They couldn’t understand this at all, and this was especially the case for Fei Hang.
Fei Hang was the Heavenly Fragrance Elixir Store’s shopkeeper, and his store was ahead of all the elixir stores in sales and profits. Yet, in the end, a small elixir store’s shopkeeper surpassed him! He found this matter to be utterly unbelievable!
Hu Wangui couldn’t understand it either, and wondered… What ability does this Level Three Fairy Realm old man have that enabled him to become the auction house’s distinguished guest? Moreover, I am still a great and distinguished guest! What about me?
On this day, the Deputy General Manager would come here personally, which explained why the empty First VIP Lounge had been left for him. If he hadn’t been one of the guests, even the absolute best First VIP Lounge would have been taken by the old man in front of them! It was absolutely unfathomable!
Once he got to the VIP Lounge, he found several pretty maids already waiting inside, all of them awaiting his arrival and ready to comply with Su Yu’s every command. The room was decorated luxuriously, and all its furnishings and accoutrements were made from precious materials.
A giant crystalline glass window was at the front of the room, and one could see through it into all corners of the auction site below. Moreover, people outside couldn’t see into the room, which ensured that the distinguished guests’ identities wouldn’t be exposed.
This satisfied Su Yu greatly, and he smiled as he casually grabbed a precious spirit fruit from a nearby tray and waited patiently for the auction to begin. After an hour had passed, the auction site was finally opened to the public and a large number of guests entered.
The several thousand seats were all filled completely in just five minutes. Most people had come here just for Hu Wangui’s and his two companions’ goods. After all, the shrewdest people here were all aware that this was a contest between the Red BLood Palace and the Central Prefecture, and the one who could get the last laugh would be the ultimate winner.
However, what they really hoped to see was what was so amazing about the three products that would cause the Central Prefecture’s faction to dare to arrogantly choose the Red Blood Palace’s Auction House on purpose. Time passed slowly, and just when the site had become packed with people, an auctioneer showed up on stage.
“Sirs, I will be in charge of this auction.” The old man wore an amiable expression, and the moment he appeared, a discussion arose among the crowd…
“What? It’s unexpectedly Master Gao! I thought that he had already retired and had since been placed in charge of only inspecting treasures? Why has he appeared on stage once again?”
“That’s right, Master Gao is one of Tianya City’s few great appraisers, and he’s also the only person from the Red Blood Palace that ever surpassed the Tianya Auction House. In fact, the Tianya Auction House’s great appraiser was a disciple Master Gao taught himself, and the Tianya Auction House tried many times to snatch Master Gao from them, but he rejected them every time!”
“Wow! I really didn’t expect that I would get to see Master Gao on stage ever again. It’s really a nice surprise!”
“Hehe, since he’s here, we won’t need to worry about this auction’s products’ authenticities.”
“Since Master Gao is here, it appears that I didn’t end up making a trip here in vain!”
Master Gao? Su Yu was surprised to hear the crowd’s reaction, and he asked the maids behind him, “Who is this Master Gao?” It seemed like he was a respected character in Tianya City.
The maid closest to him looked at Master Gao and revealed a respectful expression. “Master Gao is a person with broad knowledge and experience. His cultivation level isn’t high and he’s just in the Half Fairy Realm, but everyone in Tianya City still respects him. Even Almighty Divine Masters will frequently seek him out and consult him. There was once even an All Creation Old Monster, who traveled a long distance to Tianya City just to consult with him.”
Even an All Creation Old Monster consulted him? Su Yu was flabbergasted to hear this. So, there is still such a character here?
“Master Gao has studied many fields, having reached a high level in each, and he’s highly respected due to this. Moreover, he’s a just and fair person, which is why he is popular among the crowd.”
Upon hearing that he was a person proficient in many fields, Su Yu revealed a pensive look.
Then, Master Gao spoke from the stage once again, “Sirs, I thank you on behalf of the auction house for traveling here, and I welcome you all here on its behalf.” His welcoming words received thunderous cheers in response.
“Now, I won’t continue wasting your precious time. We will start the auction now,” Master Gao announced.
Su Yu’s gaze became grave upon hearing that the auction was finally starting.
“Please bring the first product,” Master Gao requested with a smile.
A pretty young lady immediately walked out on the stage. She was wearing a smile and carrying a red tray. The tray was covered with a red cloth, so no one could see what was on it.
“This product was obtained by our auction house three months ago, and even I wanted to keep it for myself! But, it’s a pity that its owner wanted to sell it here in the auction. Sirs, if you have any interest in it, please don’t miss this chance,” Master Gao urged in a mystifying tone.
The crowd immediately went into an uproar…
“What object is so amazing that even Master Gao desired to keep it for himself?”
“Since Master Gao took a liking to it, it must be extraordinary!”
Su Yu observed everything that was occurring from above, and he couldn’t help but sigh in admiration of Master Gao’s skills. He had expertly managed to arouse the crowd’s excitement with just a few words. At this moment, Even Su Yu couldn’t help but become very curious about the object on the tray.
“Hehe, I won’t keep you all in suspense any longer,” Master Gao said as he lifted the red cloth, revealing a white rhizome.
It was as big as a pinkie and seemed just like a tree root, but it was as pure and translucent as jade and shone with a bright luster. Many eyes among the audience widened up as the people observed this plant, but no one managed to recognize what it was exactly.
“Sirs, may I ask whether anyone can recognize this plant’s origin and function?” Master Gao asked in the same mystifying tone.
Everyone just looked at each other in dismay. They couldn’t recognize it. Even though they were all martial artists, who had made great accomplishments in their cultivations, strangely enough, none of them knew what it was at all!
When the crowd was just wagging their tongues excitedly about this rhizome, a sweet voice echoed out from among the crowd, “If I can answer your question correctly, can you gift it to me?”
The crowd followed the direction that the voice came from, and as they looked over, they were mesmerized by what they saw. They just witnessed a lovely young girl, who seemed like a porcelain doll, sitting at the front with her chin supported by her hands.
She was waving her snow-white leg in the air, while wearing a lovely smile on her face. It was rare to see such a lovely young girl here!
When Su Yu looked over at her, black lines appeared on his forehead. Gongsun Wuxie? Why is she present everywhere I go?
Master Gao wore an amiable smile as he replied, “It isn’t up to me to decide this, but if you can reply correctly, I can certainly ask the Pavilion Master to give you a discounted fee.”
She then jumped out of her seat and moved closer to stare at the jade-like rhizome, while licking her lips. She then said with a smile, “If I am guessing correctly, it should be the Yellow Spring Tree Root! This plant grows in the Extreme Yin Lands and relies upon absorbing the soul power that is drifting through the world in order to grow.”
She paused to glance around at the audience for a brief moment, then continued, “This explains why it contains a large amount of essence. If one consumes it, it will cleanse his soul, and increase his soul power by a hundredth! It’s a rare and valuable treasure, which has appeared just two times in Tianya City in the past!”
An amazed looked appeared in Master Gao’s eyes, and he clicked his tongue in wonder. “Little girl, who is your teacher? How do you know so much about it?”
Gongsun Wuxie raised her head proudly. It seemed like she wanted everyone to notice that she was as confident as a peacock. She then said, “I’m a peerless genius, and I learned everything without a teacher. I don’t need anyone to teach me!”
Master Gao didn’t get angry at her bold assertion, but just wore a more amiable look on his face as he chuckled, then said, “Hehe, continue studying on your own then, and your future achievements will surely be great.”
After he spoke, Master Gao looked at the shocked crowd and said with a smile, “That’s right, it’s really the Yellow Spring Tree Root from the rumors! It grows only in the Ghost Prison, and it’s difficult to find it in the human world. It can increase its consumer’s soul power by a hundredth, and I can guarantee this matter to you all personally!”
The crowd went into an uproar once again…
“What? It’s unexpectedly a spiritual object that is capable of increasing one’ soul power?”
The crowd became impassioned. No one expected that the first product would be this amazing!
It must be known that the rarest goods were treasures capable of nourishing one’s soul, and one could usually only run into them by pure luck. However, such a product was now just before all of their eyes! It was like a fire, which ignited their emotions and caused them to boil over!
Gongsun Wuxie licked her lips and said with a smile. “I really didn’t make a trip here in vain, as this object is rare indeed!”
Upon witnessing that the crowd was already stirred up enough, Master Gao announced in a loud voice, “The Yellow Spring Tree Root’s bidding price will start at thirty thousand crystals. You may begin bidding for it now…”
Such an inflated price didn’t deter the frantic crowd because a worldly treasure that was capable of increasing one’s soul power was surely a peerless treasure, which couldn’t be described with just mere words! As the crowd started competing over it, it seemed like they had all lost their minds!
As they frantically scrambled to outbid one another, its thirty thousand crystals price rose quickly to fifty thousand in just several seconds!
After all, one hundred thousand crystals was a sum that would tempt even an Almighty Divine Master! Upon hearing this, Su Yu’s thought… Does this wealthy girl wish to be robbed?
This price already surpassed the Yellow Spring Tree Root’s true value by a great deal, which explained why the sounds of people fighting over it had all but disappeared. In the end, Master Gao nailed down the deal and announced with a smile who won the bid for the Yellow Spring Tree Root.
Su Yu clicked his tongue and thought… If even a product that can increase one’s soul power just by a hundredth percent is this expensive, wouldn’t my Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid’s price be worth an even more ridiculous price?
Upon witnessing this, Su Yu calmed down and felt much more assured. The Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid’s effects were far greater than the Yellow Spring Tree Root’s, and since even the former could be sold for a hundred thousand crystals, his Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid’s price certainly wouldn’t any lower than that.
While people were sighing in regret for losing out on a chance to win the first product, there was still an air of excitement in the crowd, as all of their emotions had been properly stirred! Upon seeing this, Master Gao wore a smile as he said, “I believe that you will be all the more interested in the second product up for auction…”
A maid carried over a jade box at that moment. It was as big as a palm and was bright red. It was a precious Fire Jade, and such a big chunk of it was worth more than ten thousand crystals!
“It isn’t easy to find such a big chunk of Fire Jade. As expected, since Master Gao is in charge, there won’t be any substandard products here! They will all most certainly be very fine products!” someone in the crowd exclaimed.
The crowd stared at the Fire Jade, all mulling over it inwardly. This object was useful in nourishing fire attribute magical treasures, and it also had outstanding effects. Moreover, it was quite difficult to find! Thus, many people were tempted by the object
Master Gao swept the crowd with his gaze and revealed a mysterious smile as he said, “Sirs, you should have already noticed that this is a jade box made by Fire Jade, and its price is high, but I still want to say that it isn’t the actual product that is up for auction. The actual product is just a grain of a crystal that is inside the jade box!”
What he meant by a grain of crystal was a small piece of crystal that was the size of a grain of sand. The crowd was stunned by this, and they all wondered… The Fire Jade is just an affiliated material that contains the real treasure?
When the crowd observed it carefully, they discovered that the Fire Jade Box really had a shining grain of crystal within it, which was a bright red color. It was unknown what kind of object it was exactly.
The expression of Su Yu, who was observing the site from the VIP Lounge, changed gradually and became grave. Then, in the end, surprise appeared on his face.
He stroked his spatial ring subconsciously with his finger, while his gaze remained locked onto the scarlet grain of crystal. He then murmured in surprise, “The Saint Blood Soul Nourishing Stone!”
The grain of crystal in the box was none other than the Saint Blood Soul Nourishing Stone! Even until this moment, Su Yu still hadn’t managed to discover this mysterious object’s origin, even though he had flipped through many ancient books and records.

哼！\n内心的想法被完颜烈说出来，林可心吓得面色惨白，她连忙否定，还使劲磕头，“陛下，臣妾是冤枉的，臣妾一心只为陛下，从来没有过这样大逆不道的念头，请陛下不要信了小人的挑拨，请陛下明察啊！”\n还需要人挑拨么？ 刚才可是他亲口说的！”\n“敬德，连你也不听朕的话了么！ 快把那个畜生给朕捆起来！”\n“是！” 敬德连忙点头，挥手，让两个太监上去，一左一右地抓住了完颜毅的双臂。\n干着好事儿，却被人打搅，这样的感觉非常不爽。 完颜毅一看，是两个太监，双手开弓，给了他们一人一耳光，“混账！ 没看见朕在忙么！”\n大约是之前夏云惜的那些话，让完颜毅变得飘飘然起来，这会儿脑子冲动，觉得自己已经登基成了皇上，所以竟然冲动地用“朕”来称呼自己。\n“你看，你看看！ 刚才你还说朕冤枉了你们，现在他都开始取代朕了！”\n“啪！” 完颜烈打了个响指，两个黑衣人出现在众人面前。 “捆了完颜毅！”\n黑衣人只听从完颜烈的安排，他们上前，三八两下用绳子将完颜毅捆了个结结实实，而这黑衣人也不知道是不是故意的，竟然没拿衣服给完颜毅。 此时，完颜毅红果果地被捆得像麻花一样，直接被黑衣人仍在完颜烈面前。\n放开我！” 完颜毅一边挣扎，一边叫嚷，完颜烈上前，一脚踢在完颜毅的脸上，立刻，两道红色的河流从完颜毅的鼻子里流了了出来，伴随着一声“咔嚓”。\n“啊——”从鼻梁传来的剧烈的疼痛，让完颜毅清醒过来。 “谁！\n您就算吃了什么药，变得癫狂，也麻烦您保持一下理智吧！ 您是皇子，这世上能这样踢您的，没几个人，动动脑子就不知道了？\n原来，这位平时看上去文质彬彬，洁身自好的殿下，居然还有NP的嗜好，而且还喜欢露天御女，更别说出口成脏外加天外飞仙的臆想症了……完颜毅平时有贤德的美名，而今天这一出，则是让他名誉完全扫地。 完颜毅的那声“他妈的”，让林可心差点儿晕死过去。\n傻了么？ 竟然这样和完颜烈说话！\n果然，听了这话，完颜烈直接从黑衣人腰间抽了一条软鞭出来，猛地抽打在完颜毅身上。\n完颜毅大叫着。 只是他被捆得极其结实，根本就挣脱不开，外加浑身红果，这会儿在地上滚来滚去躲完颜烈的鞭子，从百官的角度看，就像一只大白虫子，在地上扭扭。\n“真丑——”慕容七七话音刚落，凤苍的手蒙在了她的眼上，“别看，看了臭东西，会长针眼！”\n凤苍竟然说的这么一本正经。 不过，既然凤苍蒙着她的眼，免得她看到了某个丑陋的东西，她干脆闭着眼，只是听着完颜毅传来的哀嚎声。\n“啊！ 父皇，你为什么打儿臣！”\n身上的剧痛，终于让完颜毅清醒了过来。 再看，眼前密密麻麻的都是人，林可心跪在地上，满脸泪痕，而他自己……“是谁脱了本殿下的衣服？ 是谁干的？\n！” 见完颜毅这会儿装疯卖傻起来，完颜烈更是觉得这个混账把他的老脸丢光了。 今天丢了脸，索性丢到家好了！\n“父皇，儿臣冤枉，儿臣冤枉啊！” 完颜毅终于感觉到了羞耻，直接面朝地，背朝天，把自己关键的部位挡住，嘴里却声声喊冤，只是完颜烈进过了刚才的刺激，哪儿还听得进去完颜毅的话！\n这边儿，完颜毅在完颜烈的皮鞭下彻底醒了，那边，迦蓝脱下外衣，将夏云惜裹了起来。\n“师妹？ 师妹！”\n迦蓝连叫了两声，夏云惜都没清醒过来，还是沉浸在自己的快乐中，她一脸痴迷地看着迦蓝的脸，伸手抚上他的脸颊，“好哥哥，怎么一会儿不见，你就变了模样了？”\n“师妹！ 我是迦蓝，你三师兄！” 迦蓝皱眉，抓住夏云惜的手。\n三师兄还在蓬莱岛呢！ 你装谁不好，装三师兄骗我！” 见夏云惜还是一副醉生梦死的模样，迦蓝提着她来到湖边，将她的头直接按到湖里。\n初春，湖水还是冰凉，在这冰凉的刺激下，夏云惜打了个寒颤，呛了两口水，彻底醒了。\n“三师兄，你怎么在这里？” 夏云惜脸上的水“滴答滴答”滴在身上，她吃惊地看着迦蓝，一脸不可思议。\n“这话应该我问你！”\n迦蓝知道，夏云惜这样是中了迷幻型的药物，而且看完颜毅，也是这样的症状。 只是，到底是谁做的？ 为什么要这样做？\n迦蓝这么说，夏云惜觉得纳闷，等她感到有些凉，想拉紧身上衣服的时候，才发现自己身上的罗裙变成了男人的外衣，而里面，空无一物。\n“啊——”夏云惜尖叫了起来，“怎么会这样？ 说话的时候，夏云惜渐渐地回想起了刚才的片段，完颜毅的脸，清清楚楚地浮现在了夏云惜眼前。\n“是他，一定是他干的！” 夏云惜想站起来，却因为之前的事情，而双腿无力。\n在看到不远处浑身赤果的完颜毅的时候，夏云惜再次尖叫，拔高的嗓音，震耳欲聋。 夏云惜的尖叫，让完颜毅也想起了之前的事情，他得到了她，他终于得到她了！ 和夏云惜的尖叫相反，完颜毅则是一脸欣喜。\n“云儿，我在这儿，云儿！”\n虽然被捆得结实，可完颜毅还是挣扎着像起来，想到夏云惜身边去。\n她不知道自己为什么会和完颜毅在一起，为什么和他发生这样的事情。 喝了酒的人，不应该是凤苍么，为什么会是完颜毅！\n夏云惜摇着头，四处寻找凤苍的身影，最后在一群密密麻麻的人头中，看到了一身白衣的凤苍。 他冷冷地站在那儿，表情如冬日寒冰，当她的目光，触碰到凤苍的眼的时候，夏云惜分明从里面看到了深深的恶心和厌恶。\n在看到那些文武大臣的时候，夏云惜知道自己所有的一切都被完颜毅毁了。\n女孩儿家的名誉，还有她的婚事她的姻缘，包括凤苍，这一切的一切都因为完颜毅，而离她而去了。\n豆大的眼泪从夏云惜的眼角垂落下，她一声不吭，恶狠狠地盯着完颜毅，仿佛要用目光，剜了完颜毅的心脏。\n完颜毅从来没有见过这样的夏云惜，他知道，这事儿她肯定是狠上自己了。 当着这么多的人的面儿，夏云惜的脸面，东鲁国的脸面，全部统统丢尽了。\n“云儿，对不起，我是情不自禁，我真的很爱你，我是真心爱你的！”\n原来如此！ 原来是二皇子爱上了云公主，所以用这样激烈的方式得到了她。 只是，这位殿下也实在是太不小心了吧！\n您挑什么地儿不好，竟然选在御花园这样人来人往的地方。 野战这样的事情发生在皇宫，当事人还是皇子和公主，这事儿实在是太过惊悚了。\n完颜毅说的“爱”，在夏云惜听来是极大的笑话。 歇了好一会儿，她双腿渐渐恢复了知觉，夏云惜站起来，一步一步走向完颜毅。\n你明明知道我喜欢凤苍，还用这样卑鄙的手段得到我，你是爱我么？ 不是，你是喜欢我的身份和我身后的东鲁国能给你带来的帮助。” “你嫉妒凤苍！\n你怕他夺了你的皇位，所以你要加大自身的筹码，就盯上了我！ 甚至不惜用毁了我的办法，来得到你想要的！\n不是这样的！” 完颜毅摇着头，他虽然有过这样的想法，但他更多是喜欢夏云惜的，“云儿，我是真的爱你！ 真的！\n她的一切都被毁了！ 刚才的事情，凤苍肯定是看到了，他本来就不喜欢她，这会儿肯定更加讨厌她，以为她是随随便便的女人。\n“既然你愿意用生命起誓，那你就去死吧！”\n夏云惜抽出迦蓝腰间的宝剑，一剑刺入完颜毅的心脏。 这一剑，极快，快得让人无法阻拦，等大家明白过来，夏云惜已经拔出宝剑，一股殷红的血迸射出来，溅了夏云惜一脸。\n林可心见到这样的场景，完全傻在了那儿，就连完颜烈，也是一愣。\n“云儿……”完颜毅嘴角涌出了鲜血，他脸上都是不可思议。 这个，他喜欢的女人，竟然不念及刚才的肌肤相亲，竟然，这么恨他。\n“云儿，你真的……那么恨我么？”\n胸口的疼痛，让完颜毅大口喘气。 那一剑，直接刺中了他的心脏，此时，完颜毅能清楚地感觉到从胸口传来的抽搐的痛。 原来，死就是这样的感觉啊！\n我永远都不会原谅你！” 夏云惜无法接受刚才发生的事情，那么多人看到了，让她怎么活！ 这事儿要是传出去，一人一口唾沫都能把她淹死！\n“噌——”银光一闪，夏云惜手中的宝剑再次刺向完颜毅的下身，直接将他的命根儿切了下来。 都是这个肮脏的东西害了她！\n“咚——”完颜毅跪在地上，下身一片血红，他额头上全是密密麻麻的汗珠，那种疼，是比胸口的痛还要多上百倍千倍。\n这会儿，完颜毅终于明白，夏云惜是真真正正地恨他了，否则她也不会这样狠心。\n“毅儿！” 林可心在儿子倒地的时候，扑了过去，扯了身上的锦缎盖在完颜毅身上，“毅儿，别怕，母妃在这儿，母妃在这儿！ 太医！\n林可心的手捂着完颜毅的心口，想堵住这洞口，让他不再流血。 可是，这方法一点儿效果都没有，没一会儿，她的手就被这血染成了红色。\n“母妃，没……没用……”鲜血，顺着完颜毅的下巴往外汩汩地流着，他年轻的生命，跟着这些流失的鲜血，悄悄地流逝着。\n“母妃，儿臣不孝，不能……孝敬您了……儿臣后悔没听您的话……母妃……”完颜毅一激动，血流的更是厉害。\n太医！” 林可心抹了把眼泪，却在自己细白的脸上，抹上了一片血色。 生命的最后，完颜毅竟是开口为夏云惜求情。\n他知道，夏云惜刺杀自己，即便她是东鲁国的公主，完颜烈也不会轻易放过她。 完颜毅不想夏云惜出事儿，毕竟她动怒，是因为他的缘故。\n见完颜毅最后，还是为夏云惜说话，林可心胸口疼得更加厉害，“毅儿，你别说话，你不会有事的，母妃求你了！ 别说话，坚持住，太医一会儿就来了！”\n“呵……”完颜毅嘴角抽搐了两下，两眼努力地看向夏云惜，她的眼里，始终只有恨意，看来，这次他真是错的离谱。\n这个世界留给完颜毅最后的印象，就是夏云惜那双含恨的眼。 虽然完颜毅很想对夏云惜说一声“对不起”，可是他的嘴唇努力地张了张，一个音都发不出来。 “毅儿，毅儿！\n啊！”\n抱着完颜毅的尸体，林可心痛苦地叫了起来，仿佛要把心中所有的委屈憋闷，全部喊出来。\n只是一会儿功夫，事情就发生了戏剧性的转折，让旁边那些大臣们，都傻了眼。 北周国皇子强jian了东鲁国的公主，最后又死在东鲁国公主的手里。\n大家在心里盘算着，完颜烈会不会因为完颜毅的死而追究夏云惜的责任。 如果追究，东鲁国皇帝夏进会不会答应？ 万一事情被闹大，两国发动战争怎么办？\n原本和和美美的一桩和亲，最后变成闹剧加惨剧，让人不得不惊叹世事无常。\n众人都在担心夏云惜能不能保住项上人头，这个当事人，却依旧是一脸仇恨地看着完颜毅的尸体，即便他死，也无法弥补他给她带来的伤害。 如果可以，夏云惜恨不得吃了完颜毅的肉泄愤。\n整个气氛，因为完颜毅的死，而变得诡异的安静。 大臣们或低头，或看着指尖，或盯着前面站着那人的腰带。 没人出声，也没人敢在这个时候出声儿。\n从完颜毅死，之后好长一段时间，完颜烈都没有说话。 而皇上的安静，更是让这些朝中混了多年的官员们提心吊胆起来。 皇家的丑闻，让臣子见到，完颜烈会怎么办？\n是杀人灭口，还是如何？ 御花园从来没有像今天这样安静过。 除了林可心，一声高一声低的哭泣，再没有别的声音。\n最后，夏云惜的声音打破了这片宁静。 虽然她很想去求凤苍，去解释这一切都不是他看到的那样，可是，夏云惜没有这样。\n明明应该是凤苍，为什么后来变成了完颜毅？ 她没想到，完颜毅会这么卑鄙无耻，就算他死一万次，都不足以弥补她内心的伤痛！ 虽然身体还很疼，但是夏云惜现在只想离开这个让她备受耻辱的地方。\n她没脸见凤苍，更没脸呆在北周国，她想离开这里，越快越好。 “我知道了。”\n迦蓝万万没有想到事情会演变成这样，短短的时间，发生了这样大的变故，看来他要赶紧给东鲁国报信，这事儿说不定最后会成为国家问题，毕竟是夏云惜亲手杀了完颜毅。\n迦蓝在前，夏云惜在后，两人打算离开御花园。\n“呵呵——”原本抱着完颜毅的林可心站了起来，盯着夏云惜的背影，阴冷地笑着。 只是刹那，林可心像风似的，冲向夏云惜，手中不知何时多了一把匕首，等夏云惜发现异样，转过身来的时候，林可心的匕首已经没入夏云惜的腹部。\n“既然毅儿这么喜欢你，你就下去陪她吧！” 林可心嘴角露出疯狂的笑容，她发疯似的，将手中的匕首一下又一下地刺进去，再拔出来。\n“啪——”迦蓝一掌打在林可心肩头，林可心吃痛，手中匕首落地，迦蓝立刻为夏云惜止血。\n“三师兄，好冷……”夏云惜脸色发白，嘴唇微微颤抖。\n迦蓝运功，想为夏云惜疗伤，却发现根本没用。 那几刀，林可心几乎用尽了全身的力气，就算神仙在这儿，都无法救活夏云惜。\n“凤……苍……”夏云惜想去看凤苍，却发现眼皮沉重的无法睁开，在最后一次说出凤苍的名字后，夏云惜闭上眼睛，一头歪在迦蓝的怀里。 怀中的人儿身子发冷，迦蓝知道她去了。\n虽然夏云惜只是蓬莱岛的挂名弟子，可她终究要叫自己一声“师兄”。\n“哈哈哈哈！” 看到夏云惜这样，林可心大笑了起来，“毅儿，母妃怕你孤单，把她给你送来了！ 毅儿，你开不开心啊！”\n林可心披散着头发，脸上血渍和眼泪混合在了一块儿，她眼里充满了悲伤，配上这悲怆的话语，让人无法恨这个人。\n一命抵一命，完颜毅死在夏云惜手里，夏云惜又死在林可心手里。 所有的仇恨，应该随着夏云惜的死而了结。\n“陛下，我想带她回去。”\n迦蓝抱起夏云惜，站了起来。 不管这事情最后会以什么样的结果而收场，此时的迦蓝，只想带夏云惜离开。 至少，她的尸骨应该葬在东鲁国，而不是留在北周。\n“去吧——”完颜烈挥了挥手。 只是个宫宴，竟然发生了这么多的事情，让完颜烈一下子老了很多。\n原本夏云惜过来和亲，是好事儿，可不想最后却以两具尸体作为收场。 完颜毅的确可恶，但罪不至死，夏云惜也的确冲动，可林可心位子报仇，又何尝不是冲动的魔鬼呢！\n“散了吧，都散了吧！”\n看着癫狂的林可心，完颜烈对众人挥了挥手，“都散了吧！”\n等了很久，完颜烈终于发话，让百官心中立刻松了口气。 皇上都说散了，大家自然恨不得自己背上长出一对翅膀，能赶紧离开。\n只是一会儿时间，御花园里就只剩下寥寥可数的几个人。\n那些被完颜毅欺辱了的宫女们此时已经穿好了衣服，站成一排。 见完颜烈打量她们，这些宫女们都吓得瑟瑟发抖。\n“杀了——”完颜烈没有多余的废话，他一声令下，黑衣人出现，一闪而过，这七八个宫女来不及呼喊，就倒在了地上。\n看着地上蔓延开的红，完颜烈心中特别沉重。 今天发生了太多太多的事情，让他的脑子一下懵了。\n“敬德，送德妃回静心殿，把二皇子葬了。\n敬德让人上前搀扶林可心离开，她却怎么都不肯松开怀中的完颜毅，“毅儿别怕，母妃在你身边，母妃会保护你的！ 毅儿乖乖睡觉，别怕别怕！”\n“让她抱着吧！ 找人看着她，等她累了，送她回静心殿。”\n完颜烈挥挥手，转身离开了御花园。 他心中沉闷得厉害，所有的事情都对堆积在一起，无从消化，仿佛有一个东西，哽在他喉咙里，让他踹不过气来。\n完颜烈缓缓离开，敬德安排了事情，小步跟在完颜烈身后，“皇上，您这是要去哪儿？”\n“朕，想去长秋宫，看看明月。” 此时，完颜烈只想见到完颜明月，似乎只有在她身边，他的心才能平和下来。\n完颜烈摇摇头，即便他想从完颜明月那儿找到安慰，现在机会也不对。 “回去！\n一场宫宴，最后以完颜毅和夏云惜的死而告终。 大家更多是关注着御花园的事情，没人注意到之前大殿里出现的弥沙去了哪儿。\n当迦蓝带着夏云惜的尸体回到他们暂住的宅子里的时候，弥沙正在小心翼翼地给慕容青莲剪指甲。 他买了婢女，伺候慕容青莲洗澡，又让婢女给她身上擦了药，换了身干净衣服，这会儿，慕容青莲看上去和之前判若两人，终于看得出原来的面貌了。 “莲，别怕！\n哥哥会保护你哦！” 弥沙手中拿着一把小剪刀，将慕容青莲那些长指甲剪出一道完美的弧线来。 “等你好了，哥哥帮你报仇！”\n这一路上，慕容青莲一直被弥沙抱着，而在刚才，被温热的水浸泡了之后，慕容青莲糊涂的大脑，渐渐地清醒了过来。\n为什么一口一个“莲”来称呼她？ 慕容青莲一动不动地看着眼前这个美少年，怎么回忆，都想不出自己什么时候见过这人。\n慕容青莲的话，让弥沙一愣，随后脸上露出一个清纯的笑容，“莲，你只有一个哥哥，就是我啊！”\n“我的哥哥没有你好！” 慕容青莲摇摇头，“所以，你不是他！”\n“莲，以前的事情是我错了！ 但是请你相信，这次我绝对不会像以前那样对你的！\n弥沙的话没说完，门被推开，迦蓝抱着夏云惜出现在他们面前。\n“师兄，云惜死了。”\n弥沙看了看迦蓝怀中的夏云惜，嘴角露出一个诡异的笑容来，“人总是要死的，你我都是。 不用太难过！”\n弥沙这样回答，在迦蓝的意料之外。 虽然夏云惜的确不那么讨喜，可他们毕竟也算同门一场，弥沙的回答实在是太冷漠，太没有人情味了。\n“莲，来，哥哥为你剪指甲！” 撇开迦蓝和夏云惜，弥沙继续为慕容青莲剪指甲。 仿佛在他的世界里，只有慕容青莲才是最重要的。\n看到弥沙这样，迦蓝张了张口，最后还是将到了嘴边的话咽下。 而这两人的互动，被慕容青莲捕捉在了眼里。\n迦蓝曾经从慕容七七手中救下了她，并且说是受人所托。 如今，迦蓝和弥沙在一起，而且弥沙还说了这样一些莫名其妙的话，莫非迦蓝说的人莫非就是弥沙？\n慕容青莲确定肯定自己从来没有见过这个叫弥沙的人，更不可能和他有任何交集。 弥沙这样，肯定是认错了人。\n看着弥沙那张天真绝美的脸，和脸上真诚的笑容，慕容青莲心中有些犹豫。 这个人对她这么好，她要不要把自己不是他寻找的人这件事情告诉他呢？\n如果她告诉弥沙，她不是他口中的“莲”，他还会不会像这样温柔地照顾她？\n想到这儿，慕容青莲眼前突然浮现牢狱中的情形，那些鞭子，打得她皮开肉绽，旧的伤痕还没有恢复，就增添了新的伤痕。\n要是弥沙知道她不是“莲”，又把她丢回大牢，那该怎么办？ 不！.\nEnglish:\n"

"from": "gpt",
"value": "This prince’s gut was really big. He wanted to cut off Nan Lin wang’s1 head and kick it as a ball…The people couldn’t help but look at Feng Cang. Most people’s eyes stayed on Feng Cang’s perfect neck. They imagined what kind of ability Wanyan Yi had to take Feng Cang’s head.\nIn contrary to the officials, Feng Cang didn’t have an expression on his face. His eyes only narrowed as if he hadn’t heard the words Wanyan Yi had just said. Only Murong Qi Qi laughed after hearing those words. “Big brother, it seems that we aren’t liked by the people! After killing big brother, presumably, he would then abuse little sister….”\nMurong Qi Qi’s words sounded indifferent and floated to Wanyan Lie’s ears. It was but a small cry, but it made Wanyan Lie’s face undergo considerable change.\n“Animal!” Wanyan Lie’s face looked malevolent. “What are you staring at? Still not tying this animal up?!”\nAn ‘animal’ made Lin Ke Xin wake up. Seeing Jing De move forward with people to tie Wanyan Yi up, Lin Ke Xin knelt in front of Wanyan Lie, “Your majesty, spare Yi er2! Usually, Yi er is filial and humble. Now that he’s like this; he’s certainly being set up by others! Asking your majesty to investigate clearly!”\n“Drunk people spit out the truth. Even if people set him up, then how could the words he had just said not reveal his true thoughts?!” Wanyan Lie retrieved the leg that Lin Ke Xin had held on tightly. “In zhen’s3 eyes, you and your son had long coveted the throne and it must be you, the mother, who has installed those words in him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such things! Humph! Want zhen to die sooner, so you can get the world. This is well calculated!”\nLin Ke Xin’s face paled after her thoughts had been said out loud by Wanyan Lie. She quickly denied and also keenly kowtowed, “Your majesty, this subject wife’s heart is only for your majesty and also never had such a disgraceful thought. Asking your majesty to not listen to the vile person’s instigation. Asking your majesty to investigate clearly!”\n“Instigation? Is there still the need for someone to instigate? Just now, he had said it with his own mouth!”\nWanyan Lie looked at Wanyan Yi. He found that this son was still immersed in his own world, and felt that this son was truly very shameful. “Jing De, are you also not listening to zhen anymore?! Quickly tie that animal up!”\n“Yes!” Jing De quickly nodded. He gestured to let two eunuchs go forward. One at the left, one at the right, and they seized Wanyan Yi’s arms.\nHe was doing a good thing, but still got disturbed. This feeling was very not good. Wanyan Yi looked and saw that there were two eunuchs. He got his hands free and gave each of them a slap on the face, “Bastard! Didn’t you see that zhen is busy!”\nPresumably, it was those words of Xia Yun Xi from earlier that made Wanyan Yi float. Now, his brain was impulsive and he felt that he’d already ascended the throne and became the emperor. So, he impulsively used ‘zhen’ in reference to himself.\n“Look, you take a look! Just now, you said that zhen wronged you two. Now, he has already began to replace zhen!”\nThis word from Wanyan Yi undoubtedly made the Wanyan Lie, who’d been walking on an edge, collapse into a fire pit. ‘Pa!’ Wanyan Lie clapped. Two people in black appeared in front of everyone.\nThe people in black listened to Wanyan Lie’s order. They went forward. A short moment later, they had tied Wanyan Yi tightly with a rope. Don’t know if these people in black did it on purpose or not, but they didn’t give Wanayn Yi any clothes to wear. At this time, Wanyan Yi had been tied up like a fried dough and was thrown in front of Wanyan Lie.\n“Let me go! Your gut is very big! Let me go!” While Wanyan Yi struggled, he shouted loudly. Wanyan Lie went forward and kicked Wanayn Yi’s face. Immediately, two red rivers flowed out of Wanyan Yi’s nose, accompanied with a ‘kacha’ sound.\n“Ah…,” The intense pain coming from the bridge of his nose made Wanyan Yi wake up. “Who! Who the f*** kicked me?!”\nWanyan Yi’s foul language made the officials turn completely speechless. Even if you ate a drug and became crazy, but let’s trouble you to keep some reasoning! You’re a prince. In this world, there were only a few people who could kick you like this. If you think a bit, wouldn’t you know?\nIt turned out that the originally refined, gentle, elegant, clean-living, and honest highness actually had the NP hobby. Besides, he liked to do ladies in the open air. Not to mention his foul mouth and his big imagination… Wanyan Yi’s usually virtuous reputation, after today’s matter, was completely gone. (TL note: I don’t know what NP is. I tried to search for it but found nothing. If you know, enlighten me)\nThis ’who the f***’ from Wanyan Yi almost made Lin Ke Xin faint. Did this child’s brain get cramps? Did he become silly? He had actually talked like this to Wanyan Lie.\nSure enough, after hearing these words, Wanyan Lie pulled a whip from the person in black’s waist and hit Wanyan Yi.\n“Wa! Ah! Hurt!” Wanyan Yi shouted. However, he was now very tied up. He simply couldn’t break away. Now, he was rolling here and there on the ground, avoiding Wanyan Lie’s whip. From the point of view of the officials, it was like a big white worm twisting and turning on the ground.\n“So ugly…,” Murong Qi Qi’s words just fell, when Feng Cang’s hand was suddenly before her eyes. “Don’t look. If you look at an ugly thing, you would get an eye of a needle!”\n“Puchi..,” Feng Cang’s words made Murong Qi Qi laugh. Get an eye of a needle? Such a funny excuse, and Feng Cang had said it so seriously. However, Feng Cang had covered her eyes so she wouldn’t have to see something ugly. So, she simply closed her eyes and only listened to Wanyan Yi’s shouts.\n“Ah! Emperor father, why are you beating this subject son!”\nThe pain on his body finally made Wanyan Yi wake up. When he looked up, in front of him were all people. Lin Ke Xin was kneeling on the floor with her face full of tears. And he… “Who took off this highness’ clothes? Who did it?!”\nSeeing Wanyan Yi playing a fool now, Wanyan Lie felt even more that this bastard had made him lose his old face. Today, he has utterly lost face! Wanyan Lie didn’t answer Wanyan Yi. He whipped Wanyan Yi again and again, and left multiple blood trails on his (WY) body.\n“Emperor father, this subject son is innocent, this subject son is innocent, ah!” Finally, Wanyan Yi felt shame. He faced the ground while his back faced the sky. He covered his most important part and kept saying he’s innocent. However, after Wanyan Lie got through the stimulation of just now, how could Wanyan Yi’s words enter his ears!\nAt this side, Wanyan Yi had woken up completely under Wanyan Lie’s whip. At the other side, Jia Lan took off his coat and wrapped up Xia Yun Xi.\n“Junior sister? Junior sister!”\nJia Lan called two times, but Xia Yun Xi didn’t wake up. She was still immersed in her own happiness. She looked with infatuation at Jia Lan’s face. She reached out and touched his face, “Good brother, how come I didn’t see you for a short time, you’ve changed appearance?”\n“Junior sister! I’m Jia Lan, your third senior brother!” Jia Lan frowned and grabbed Xia Yun Xi’s hand.\n“Third senior brother? Hehe, good brother, don’t lie to me! Third senior brother is at Penglai Island! You can pretend to be anyone, why pretend to be third senior brother to lie to me?!”\nSeeing that Xia Yun Xi was still befuddled, Jia Lan carried her to the lake. He put her head in the water. It was the beginning of spring. The water of the lake was still cold. Under the stimulation of this cold, Xia Yun Xi shuddered, choked and woke up completely.\n“Third senior brother, why are you here?” The water on Xia Yun Xi’s face dripped onto the ground. She stared at Jia Lan with a look of disbelief.\n“I should ask you this!”\nJia Lan knew that Xia Yun Xi being like this was because she was under the influence of some drug. Besides, Wanyan Yi also seemed to have the same symptoms. However, who did it? Why did he/she do it?\nXia Yun Xi was puzzled at Jia Lan’s words. When she felt somewhat cold and wanted to tighten the clothes on her body, she discovered that her dress had become a man’s coat and that she wasn’t wearing anything underneath.\nWhile talking, Xia Yun Xi gradually recalled the fragments of just now. Wanyan Yi’s face clearly appeared in front of Xia Yun Xi. “It’s him. He certainly did it!”\nXia Yun Xi wanted to stand up, but because of what had happened, her legs didn’t have any strength. When she saw Wanyan Yi kneeling not too far away, Xia Yun Xi screamed once again. The high voice was ear-splitting.\nXia Yun Xi’s scream also let Wanyan Yi remember what had happened. He got her. He finally got her! In contrast to Xia Yun Xi’s screams, Wanyan Yi had a look of joy on his face. Could this be the destiny decided by heaven?\n“Yun er, I’m here. Yun er!”\nAlthough he was tightly bound, but Wanyan Yi still struggled to get up and wanted to go to Xia Yun Xi.\nThe moment she saw the naked Wanyan Yi as he turned around, Xia Yun Xi clutched her head and screamed. She didn’t know why she would be with Wanyan Yi and why such a thing had happened between them. Shouldn’t Feng Cang be the one who had drunk the wine? Why was it Wanyan Yi?!\nXia Yun Xi shook her head. She seemed to look around for Feng Cang. In the end, she saw Feng Cang dressed in white among the crowd. He stood there coldly with a frost-like expression. When her gaze touched Feng Cang’s eyes, Xia Yun Xi clearly saw the nausea and disgust inside those eyes.\n“No, it wasn’t like this!” When she saw those officials, Xia Yun Xi knew her everything had been ruined by Wanyan Yi.\nHer reputation as a girl, her marriage, her destiny and Feng Cang; all of these left her because of Wanyan Yi.\nTears as big as the size of beans streamed down Xia Yun Xi’s face. She didn’t say anything. She glared fiercely at Wanyan Yi as if she wanted to use her eyes to dig out Wanyan Yi’s heart.\nWanyan Yi had never seen such a Xia Yun Xi. He knew that she must hate him for this matter. In front of so many people, Xia Yun Xi’s face, Dong Lu’s face, all was lost.\n“Yun er, I’m sorry. I couldn’t restrain myself. I really love you very much. I truly love you!”\nWanyan Yi moved to Xia Yun Xi. His words made everyone come to a ‘realization’. So, it was like that! So, it was second prince who fell in love with princess Yun. So, he used such a fierce way to get her.\nIt was just, this highness was really too careless! The kind of place you chose was not right. Why choose the imperial garden where everyone can come and go? Such a thing had happened in the palace and the parties were a prince and a princess. This matter was really too horrifying.\nThe ‘love’ Wanyan Yi was talking about; to Xia Yun Xi, it was the biggest joke. After resting for a moment, her legs gradually restored their consciousness. Xia Yun Xi stood up. Step by step, she walked to Wanyan Yi.\n“You love me? No, you don’t love me. You’re bringing harm to me! You obviously know I liked Feng Cang and still used such underhanded means to get me. You love me? No, the things you like are my identity and the help that Dong Lu behind me could bring you.”\n“You’re jealous of Feng Cang! You’re afraid that he’ll get your throne, so you had to increase your own chips. That was why, you’d set your eyes on me! Even at the expense of using such ways to destroy me to get what you want! You’re too shameless!”\n“No! It’s not like this!” Wanyan Yi shook his head. Although he did have such thoughts, but he liked Xia Yun Xi more. “Yun er, I really love you! Really! I swear! I can swear on my life!”\n“Life?” In Xia Yun Xi’s ears, this world was a complete joke. Her everything was ruined. What had happened just now, Feng Cang certainly saw it. He originally didn’t like her. Now, he must hate her even more because she’s a casual woman.\n“Since you’re willing to swear with your life, then go die!”\nXia Yun Xi pulled the sword from Jia Lan’s waist and pierced Wanyan Yi’s heart. This one attack was fast. So fast, people couldn’t stop it. When everyone understood what had happened, Xia Yun Xia d already pulled out the sword. Red blood burst out and splashed Xia Yun Xi’s whole face.\n“Yi er!” After Lin Ke Xin saw such a scene, she went completely blank. Even Wanyan Lie was stunned.\n“Yun er…,” Blood gushed out of Wanyan Yi’s mouth. He had a look of disbelief. The woman he loved didn’t consider the physical relationship between husband and wife of just now. She actually hated him this much.\n“Yun er, you really…really hate me so much?”\nThe pain on his chest made Wanyan Yi take deep breaths. That one attack had directly stabbed his heart. At this time, Wanyan Yi could clearly feel the pain coming from his heart. It turned out that death was such a feeling, ah! However, he wasn’t resigned. He really wasn’t resigned!\n“I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I will never forgive you!” Xia Yun Xi couldn’t accept what had happened. So many people saw it. How could she live?! If this matter was spread out, the saliva of the people was enough to drown her!\n‘Ceng…’, a silver light flashed. The sword in Xia Yun Xi’s hand once again stabbed Wanyan Yi’s lower body and cut down his **. It was this dirty thing that had brought calamity to her. It was he who had brought calamity to her!\n“Ah!” Before Wanyan Yi died, he screamed tragically. ‘Dong…’ Wanyan Yi knelt on the floor, full of blood. His forehead was sweaty. That kind of pain was a hundred, a thousand times more painful than the pain coming from his chest.\nAt this time, Wanyan Yi finally understood that Xia Yun Xi truly hated him, otherwise she wouldn’t have been so cruel.\n“Yi er!”1 Lin Ke Xin rushed over when her son fell. She pulled the brocade from her body and covered Wanyan Yi’s body, “Yi er, don’t be afraid. Consort mother is here. Consort mother is here! Imperial physician! Quickly summon the imperial physician!\nLin Ke Xin’s hands clutched Wanyan Yi’s chest and wanted to block the hole to not let blood come out. However, this method had no effect. A short while later, her hands were covered red with blood.\n“Consort mother, it’s…it’s useless…” Blood flowed along Wanyan Yi’s chin. His young life following the loss of this blood was also lost.\n“Consort mother, this subject son is not filial, can’t…be filial to you anymore…this subject son regretted not listening to you…consort mother…” Wanyan Yi’s excitement made the blood flow faster.\n“Don’t talk. Consort mother will certainly cure you! Don’t talk, Yi er! Imperial physician! Imperial physician!” Lin Ke Xin wiped her tears, but she stained her white face with blood.\nAt the end of life, Wanyan Yi actually pleaded for Xia Yun Xi. He knew that Xia Yun Xi assassinated him. Even if she’s a Dong Lu’s princess, Wanyan Lie would not let her off easily. Wanyan Yi didn’t want anything to happen to Xia Yun Xi. After all, she got angry because of him.\nSeeing that till the end, Wanyan Yi still spoke for Xia Yun Xi, Lin Ke Xin’s heart did more pain, “Yi er, don’t talk anymore. Nothing will happen to you. Consort mother begs you! Don’t talk, hold on. The imperial physician will arrive soon!”\n“Ha…,” Wanyan Yi’s mouth twitched twice. His eyes tried hard to look at Xia Yun Xi. Her eyes only had hate. It seemed that this time, he really did wrong.\nThe last impression that this world left Wanyan Yi was those eyes full of hate of Xia Yun Xi. Although, Wanyan Yi really wanted to say, “I’m sorry” to Xia Yun Xi, but his mouth tried hard to open, but not a sound came out.\n“Yi er, Yi er! Ah!”\nHolding Wanyan Yi’s body, Lin Ke Xin screamed painfully as if she eanted to shout all her grievances and feelings of oppression out.\nJust a short while, the things had undergone a dramatic turnaround, making those officials dumbfounded. Bei Zhou’s prince raped Dong Lu’s princess. In the end, he died at the hand of Dong Lu’s princess. How should this matter be judged?\nEveryone was calculating if Wanyan Lie would held Xia Yun Xi responsible for Wanyan Yi’s death or not. If he held her responsible, would Dong Lu’s emperor Xia Jin agree? If by chance, this matter gets big, the two countries launched war, then what?\nThe original beautiful marriage alliance in the end became a drama and a tragedy, making people couldn’t help but sigh at the fickleness of the affairs of life.\nWhile everyone was worrying about if Xia Yun Xi could keep the head on her body, this involved party still looked full of hatred at Wanyan Yi’s body. Even if he died, he still couldn’t make up for the harm he caused her. If she could, Xia Yun Xi wished to eat his flesh to vent her anger.\nThe atmosphere, because of Wanyan Yi’s death become strangely quiet. The officials lowered their head or looked at their fingertips or looked at the belt of the person standing in front of them. No one spoke and no one dare to make a sound at this moment.\nA long period after Wanyan Yi’s death, Wanyan Lie didn’t spoke. The silence of the emperor let these officials who mixed in the court for many years became more scared and on edge. The royal scandal was seen by the officials; what would Wanyan Lie do. Was it to silence them or something else?\nThe imperial garden had never been so quiet as today. Aside from Lin Ke Xin’s sometimes loud and sometimes low crying, there was no other sound.\n“Third senior brother, I’m tired. Let’s go!” Finally, it was Xia Yun Xi who broke this piece of quietness. Although she wanted to go beg Feng Cang and explain that everything wasn’t like what he saw, but Xia Yun Xi didn’t do it.\nAt this time, Xia Yun Xi’s mind was blank. She couldn’t think of why the matter would become like this! Obviously, it should be Feng Cang; why did it become Wanyan Yi? She didn’t think that Wanyan Yi was so despicable and shameless. Even if he died ten thousand times is not enough to make up from her inner pain!\nAlthough her body still hurt very much, but now Xia Yun Xi only wanted to leave this place that made her feel so much shame. She didn’t have the face to look at Feng Cang and didn’t have even more face to stay at Bei Zhou. She wanted to leave here. The sooner the better.\n“I know.” Jia Lan never imagined that things would turn out like this. In such a short period of time, such a big change happened. It seemed that he should sent Dong Lu a letter quickly. If this matter isn’t dissolved, then it would become a national problem. After all, it was Xia Yun Xi who personally killed Wanyan Yi.\nJia Lan was in the front. Xia Yun Xi was behind him. The two intended to leave the imperial garden.\n“Hehe…,” Lin Ke Xin who was originally holding Wanyan Yi stood up. She stared at Xia Yun Xi’s back and laughed coldly. In just a moment, Lin Ke Xin rushed to Xia Yun Xi like the wind. Don’t know when, a dagger appeared in her hand. When Xia Yun Xi sensed something strange and turned around, Lin Ke Xin’s dagger already entered Xia Yun Xi’s abdomen.\n“Since Yi er likes you so much, then go down to keep him company!” Lin Ke Xin revealed a crazy smile. She frantically pushed the dagger repeatedly in and then pulled it out.\n‘Pa…’ Jia Lan’s palm hit Lin Ke Xin’s shoulder. Lin Ke Xin felt pain. The dagger in her hand fell on the ground. Jia Lan immediately stopped the bleeding for Xia Yun Xi.\n“Third senior brother, so cold…,” Xia Yun Xi was pale-faced and her lips trembled slightly.\nJia Lan exercised his inner energy, wanting to heal Xia Yun Xi’s injury, but he discovered that it was useless. Lin Ke Xin seemed to have used all the strength from her body on those few cuts. Even if god was here, he wouldn’t be able to save Xia Yun Xi.\n“Feng…Cang…,” Xia Yun Xi wanted to look at Feng Cang, but she discovered that her eyelids were heavy and she was unable to open them. After saying Feng Cang’s name for the last time, Xia Yun Xi closed her eyes. Her head fell in Jia Lan’s arms. “Junior sister…”\nThe body of the person in his arms was cold. Although Xia Yun Xi was a Penglai Island’s disciple only by name, but after all she had to call him ‘senior brother’.\n“Hahahaha!” Seeing Xia Yun Xi like this, Lin Ke Xin laughed loudly. “Yi er, consort mother is afraid that you’ll be lonely and sent her to you! Yi er, are you happy?!”\nLin Ke Xin’s hair was scattered. The blood and tears merged together on her face. Her eyes were full of sadness. Coupled with these sad words, it made people unable to hate this person.\nA life for a life. Wanyan Yi died at Xia Yun Xi’s hands. Xia Yun Xi died at Lin Ke Xin’s hands. All hatred should end with Xia Yun Xi’s death.\n“Your majesty, I want to take her back!”\nJia Lan carried Xia Yun Xi and stood up. No matter what the outcome of this matter would be, now, Jia Lan only wanted to leave with Xia Yun Xi. At least, she should be buried at Dong Lu and not at Bei Zhou.\n“Go…,” Wanyan Lie gestured with his hands. So many things happened at a palace banquet making Wanyan Lie suddenly seem to be a lot older.\nOriginally, Xia Yun Xi came to form a marriage alliance. It was a good thing. He didn’t expect that in the end, it would end with two corpses. Wanyan Yi was indeed hateful, but his crime shouldn’t have been punished with the death. Xia Yun Xi was indeed impulsive, but to take revenge for her son, wasn’t Lin Ke Xin also an impulsive demon?!\n“Leave, everyone, leave!”\nLooking at the mad Lin Ke Xin, Wanyan Lie gestured at the crowd, “Everyone, leave!”\nAfter a long time, Wanyan Lie finally spoke, making the officials let out a sigh of relief. Emperor said to leave. Naturally everyone wished that a pair of wings could grow on their back and quickly leave.\nIn just a moment, only a handful of people was left in the imperial garden.\nThose palace maids who had been humiliated by Wanyan Yi, at this time, they were dressed and stood in a row. Seeing that Wanyan Lie was looking at them, these palace maids shivered from being scared.\n“Kill…,” Wanyan Lie didn’t say more nonsense. The next moment after his order, a person in black appeared. In a flash, these seven to eight palace maids didn’t have a chance to scream, they fell on the ground.\nLooking at the redness spread on the ground, Wanyan Lie’s heart was particularly heavy. Today, too many things had happened, making his mind somewhat blank.\n“Jing De, escort consort De back to Jingxin hall. Burry second prince. Zhen 2 is tired and want to rest…”\nJing De let people support Lin Ke Xin to Jingxin hall. No matter what, she wouldn’t let go of Wanyan Yi in her arms, “Yi er, don’t be afraid. Consort mother is at your side. Consort mother will protect you! Yi er, sleep obediently. Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid!”\n“Emperor…,” The crazy Lin Ke Xin was a bit difficult for Jing De. He could only look at Wanyan Lie.\n“Let her! Find someone to look over her. When she’s tired, send her back to Jingxin hall!” Wanyan Lie gestured with his hand, turned and left the imperial garden. His heart felt very heavy. Everything piled together and he had no way to digest it. It was as if something was struck in his throat, making him unbale to breath.\nWanyan Lie slowly left. Jing De arranged everything and followed behind Wanyan Lie with small steps, “Emperor, where are you going?”\n“Zhen wants to go to Long Autumn palace and see Ming Yue.” Now, Wanyan Lie only wanted to see Wanyan Ming Yue as if only at her side, his heart would calm down.\nJing De’s reminder made Wanyan Lie wake up. That’s right, ah! Murong Qi Qi is living there. If he goes during the day, wouldn’t it let people suspect? Forget it! Forget it! Wanyan Lie shook his head. Even if he wanted to find comfort at Wanyan Ming Yue’s, but now was not the right time. “Go back! Zhen will go to the imperial study…”\nA palace banquet ended with Wanyan Yi’s and Xia Yun Xi’s death. Everyone was more concerned about what had happened at the imperial garden. No one paid attention to where Misha who appeared at the hall before, went to.\nWhen Jia Lan returned with Xia Yun Xi’s body to the mansion where they were temporarily staying, Misha was carefully cutting Murong Qing Lian’s nails. He bought a maid to help Murong Qing Lian bath. He also let the maid apply medicine on Murong Qing Lian’s body and let her change Murong Qing Lian in new clothes. Now, Murong Qing Lian looked like a complete different person from the one from before. Finally, her original appearance could be seen.\n“Lian, don’t be afraid! Big brother will protect you!” Misha held a small scissor and cut the nails of Murong Qing Lian in a perfect arc. “When you’re better, big brother will help you take revenge!”\nThis whole way, Murong Qing Lian had been held by Misha. Just now, after soaking in the warm water, Murong Qing Lian’s confused mind gradually sobered up.\nWho was this person? Why would he use ‘Lian’ to address her? Murong Qing Lian looked motionless at the beautiful boy in front of her. Why couldn’t she remember when she had seen this person? “I only have one big brother, but he isn’t you…”\nMurong Qing Lian’s words made Misha surprised for a moment. Then, he revealed a pure smile, “Lian, you only have one big brother and that is me, ah!”\n“My big brother is not as great as you!” Murong Qing Lian shook her head, “So, you’re not him!”\n“Lian, what happened in the past was my fault! But, please believe that this time, I won’t treat you like before! I already regretted. I shouldn’t have…”\nMisha didn’t finish, when the door was opened. Jia Lan appeared in front of them while carrying Xia Yun Xi.\n“Senior brother, Yun Xi died.”\nMisha looked at Xia Yun Xi in Jia Lan’s arms. He revealed a strange smile, “People are always going to die. You and I will also die one day. Don’t need to be sad!”\nMisha’s answer was outside of Jia Lan’s expectations. Although Xia Yun Xi wasn’t likeable, but after all, they could be considered to have come from the same master. Misha’s answer was too cold and didn’t have a human touch.\n“Lian, come, big brother will cut your nails for you!” Leaving aside, Jia Lan and Xia Yun Xi, Misha continued to cut Murong Qing Lian’s nails as if in his world, Murong Qing Lian was the most important.\nSeeing Misha like this, Jia Lan opened his mouth, but in the end, he still swallowed his words. The interaction of the two was caught by Murong Qing Lian’s eyes.\nBefore, she had seen Jia Lan. At that time, Jia Lan saved her once at the tournament of the four countries from Murong Qi Qi. Besides, he said that he did it for someone else. Now, Jia Lan was together with Misha. Besides Misha said such inexplicable things; could it be that the person Jia Lan was referring to was Misha?\nMurong Qing Lian was certainly, definitely sure that she had never seen this person called Misha. She couldn’t have any intersection with him. Misha had certainly mistaken her for the wrong person.\nSeeing Misha’s beautiful face and the sincere smile on his face, Murong Qing Lian had some hesitation. This person was so good to her. Should she tell him that she’s not the person he was looking for?\nIf she told Misha that she’s not his ‘Lian’, would he still take care of her with such gentleness?\nThinking till here, in front of Murong Qing Lian’s eyes suddenly appeared the situation in prison. Those whips beat her till her flesh lacerated. The old scars weren’t healed yet, when new scars were added.\nIf Misha knew that she wasn’t ‘Lian’ and throws her back in prison, then what should she do? No! She didn’t want it to be like that! She didn’t want to live in that darkness anymore. She didn’t want to live like an animal anymore!"

这位皇子的胆子可真大，要把南麟王的头割下来当球踢……众人不由的看向凤苍，更多人的目光停留在凤苍完美的颈部，想象着完颜毅到底有什么能耐，能取了凤苍的人头。
只有慕容七七在听到这话之后，笑了。 “哥，看来，咱们兄妹很不被人待见呢！
慕容七七的话，淡淡的，轻飘飘地落在了完颜烈的耳中，只是小小一声，却让完颜烈的脸色起了大变化。
“畜生！” 完颜烈面目狰狞，“看什么，还不给朕把这个畜生绑起来！”
一声“畜生”，当林可心清醒过来，见敬德带人要去绑完颜毅，林可心“啪”地跪在完颜烈面前，“陛下，饶了毅儿吧！ 毅儿平时恭谦孝道，如今这样，一定是被人陷害的！
“酒后吐真言，就算被人动了手脚，那他刚才的话，如何不表露了他的真心！” 完颜烈抽回被林可心死死抱住的腿，脸色阴沉，“朕看，你们母子早就对皇位垂涎三尺了，必定是你这个母亲平时给他灌输了那些，否则他不会说出这样的话来！ 哼！
内心的想法被完颜烈说出来，林可心吓得面色惨白，她连忙否定，还使劲磕头，“陛下，臣妾是冤枉的，臣妾一心只为陛下，从来没有过这样大逆不道的念头，请陛下不要信了小人的挑拨，请陛下明察啊！”
还需要人挑拨么？ 刚才可是他亲口说的！”
“敬德，连你也不听朕的话了么！ 快把那个畜生给朕捆起来！”
“是！” 敬德连忙点头，挥手，让两个太监上去，一左一右地抓住了完颜毅的双臂。
干着好事儿，却被人打搅，这样的感觉非常不爽。 完颜毅一看，是两个太监，双手开弓，给了他们一人一耳光，“混账！ 没看见朕在忙么！”
大约是之前夏云惜的那些话，让完颜毅变得飘飘然起来，这会儿脑子冲动，觉得自己已经登基成了皇上，所以竟然冲动地用“朕”来称呼自己。
“你看，你看看！ 刚才你还说朕冤枉了你们，现在他都开始取代朕了！”
“啪！” 完颜烈打了个响指，两个黑衣人出现在众人面前。 “捆了完颜毅！”
黑衣人只听从完颜烈的安排，他们上前，三八两下用绳子将完颜毅捆了个结结实实，而这黑衣人也不知道是不是故意的，竟然没拿衣服给完颜毅。 此时，完颜毅红果果地被捆得像麻花一样，直接被黑衣人仍在完颜烈面前。
放开我！” 完颜毅一边挣扎，一边叫嚷，完颜烈上前，一脚踢在完颜毅的脸上，立刻，两道红色的河流从完颜毅的鼻子里流了了出来，伴随着一声“咔嚓”。
“啊——”从鼻梁传来的剧烈的疼痛，让完颜毅清醒过来。 “谁！
您就算吃了什么药，变得癫狂，也麻烦您保持一下理智吧！ 您是皇子，这世上能这样踢您的，没几个人，动动脑子就不知道了？
原来，这位平时看上去文质彬彬，洁身自好的殿下，居然还有NP的嗜好，而且还喜欢露天御女，更别说出口成脏外加天外飞仙的臆想症了……完颜毅平时有贤德的美名，而今天这一出，则是让他名誉完全扫地。 完颜毅的那声“他妈的”，让林可心差点儿晕死过去。
傻了么？ 竟然这样和完颜烈说话！
果然，听了这话，完颜烈直接从黑衣人腰间抽了一条软鞭出来，猛地抽打在完颜毅身上。
完颜毅大叫着。 只是他被捆得极其结实，根本就挣脱不开，外加浑身红果，这会儿在地上滚来滚去躲完颜烈的鞭子，从百官的角度看，就像一只大白虫子，在地上扭扭。
“真丑——”慕容七七话音刚落，凤苍的手蒙在了她的眼上，“别看，看了臭东西，会长针眼！”
凤苍竟然说的这么一本正经。 不过，既然凤苍蒙着她的眼，免得她看到了某个丑陋的东西，她干脆闭着眼，只是听着完颜毅传来的哀嚎声。
“啊！ 父皇，你为什么打儿臣！”
身上的剧痛，终于让完颜毅清醒了过来。 再看，眼前密密麻麻的都是人，林可心跪在地上，满脸泪痕，而他自己……“是谁脱了本殿下的衣服？ 是谁干的？
！” 见完颜毅这会儿装疯卖傻起来，完颜烈更是觉得这个混账把他的老脸丢光了。 今天丢了脸，索性丢到家好了！
“父皇，儿臣冤枉，儿臣冤枉啊！” 完颜毅终于感觉到了羞耻，直接面朝地，背朝天，把自己关键的部位挡住，嘴里却声声喊冤，只是完颜烈进过了刚才的刺激，哪儿还听得进去完颜毅的话！
这边儿，完颜毅在完颜烈的皮鞭下彻底醒了，那边，迦蓝脱下外衣，将夏云惜裹了起来。
“师妹？ 师妹！”
迦蓝连叫了两声，夏云惜都没清醒过来，还是沉浸在自己的快乐中，她一脸痴迷地看着迦蓝的脸，伸手抚上他的脸颊，“好哥哥，怎么一会儿不见，你就变了模样了？”
“师妹！ 我是迦蓝，你三师兄！” 迦蓝皱眉，抓住夏云惜的手。
三师兄还在蓬莱岛呢！ 你装谁不好，装三师兄骗我！” 见夏云惜还是一副醉生梦死的模样，迦蓝提着她来到湖边，将她的头直接按到湖里。
初春，湖水还是冰凉，在这冰凉的刺激下，夏云惜打了个寒颤，呛了两口水，彻底醒了。
“三师兄，你怎么在这里？” 夏云惜脸上的水“滴答滴答”滴在身上，她吃惊地看着迦蓝，一脸不可思议。
“这话应该我问你！”
迦蓝知道，夏云惜这样是中了迷幻型的药物，而且看完颜毅，也是这样的症状。 只是，到底是谁做的？ 为什么要这样做？
迦蓝这么说，夏云惜觉得纳闷，等她感到有些凉，想拉紧身上衣服的时候，才发现自己身上的罗裙变成了男人的外衣，而里面，空无一物。
“啊——”夏云惜尖叫了起来，“怎么会这样？ 说话的时候，夏云惜渐渐地回想起了刚才的片段，完颜毅的脸，清清楚楚地浮现在了夏云惜眼前。
“是他，一定是他干的！” 夏云惜想站起来，却因为之前的事情，而双腿无力。
在看到不远处浑身赤果的完颜毅的时候，夏云惜再次尖叫，拔高的嗓音，震耳欲聋。 夏云惜的尖叫，让完颜毅也想起了之前的事情，他得到了她，他终于得到她了！ 和夏云惜的尖叫相反，完颜毅则是一脸欣喜。
“云儿，我在这儿，云儿！”
虽然被捆得结实，可完颜毅还是挣扎着像起来，想到夏云惜身边去。
她不知道自己为什么会和完颜毅在一起，为什么和他发生这样的事情。 喝了酒的人，不应该是凤苍么，为什么会是完颜毅！
夏云惜摇着头，四处寻找凤苍的身影，最后在一群密密麻麻的人头中，看到了一身白衣的凤苍。 他冷冷地站在那儿，表情如冬日寒冰，当她的目光，触碰到凤苍的眼的时候，夏云惜分明从里面看到了深深的恶心和厌恶。
在看到那些文武大臣的时候，夏云惜知道自己所有的一切都被完颜毅毁了。
女孩儿家的名誉，还有她的婚事她的姻缘，包括凤苍，这一切的一切都因为完颜毅，而离她而去了。
豆大的眼泪从夏云惜的眼角垂落下，她一声不吭，恶狠狠地盯着完颜毅，仿佛要用目光，剜了完颜毅的心脏。
完颜毅从来没有见过这样的夏云惜，他知道，这事儿她肯定是狠上自己了。 当着这么多的人的面儿，夏云惜的脸面，东鲁国的脸面，全部统统丢尽了。
“云儿，对不起，我是情不自禁，我真的很爱你，我是真心爱你的！”
原来如此！ 原来是二皇子爱上了云公主，所以用这样激烈的方式得到了她。 只是，这位殿下也实在是太不小心了吧！
您挑什么地儿不好，竟然选在御花园这样人来人往的地方。 野战这样的事情发生在皇宫，当事人还是皇子和公主，这事儿实在是太过惊悚了。
完颜毅说的“爱”，在夏云惜听来是极大的笑话。 歇了好一会儿，她双腿渐渐恢复了知觉，夏云惜站起来，一步一步走向完颜毅。
你明明知道我喜欢凤苍，还用这样卑鄙的手段得到我，你是爱我么？ 不是，你是喜欢我的身份和我身后的东鲁国能给你带来的帮助。” “你嫉妒凤苍！
你怕他夺了你的皇位，所以你要加大自身的筹码，就盯上了我！ 甚至不惜用毁了我的办法，来得到你想要的！
不是这样的！” 完颜毅摇着头，他虽然有过这样的想法，但他更多是喜欢夏云惜的，“云儿，我是真的爱你！ 真的！
她的一切都被毁了！ 刚才的事情，凤苍肯定是看到了，他本来就不喜欢她，这会儿肯定更加讨厌她，以为她是随随便便的女人。
“既然你愿意用生命起誓，那你就去死吧！”
夏云惜抽出迦蓝腰间的宝剑，一剑刺入完颜毅的心脏。 这一剑，极快，快得让人无法阻拦，等大家明白过来，夏云惜已经拔出宝剑，一股殷红的血迸射出来，溅了夏云惜一脸。
林可心见到这样的场景，完全傻在了那儿，就连完颜烈，也是一愣。
“云儿……”完颜毅嘴角涌出了鲜血，他脸上都是不可思议。 这个，他喜欢的女人，竟然不念及刚才的肌肤相亲，竟然，这么恨他。
“云儿，你真的……那么恨我么？”
胸口的疼痛，让完颜毅大口喘气。 那一剑，直接刺中了他的心脏，此时，完颜毅能清楚地感觉到从胸口传来的抽搐的痛。 原来，死就是这样的感觉啊！
我永远都不会原谅你！” 夏云惜无法接受刚才发生的事情，那么多人看到了，让她怎么活！ 这事儿要是传出去，一人一口唾沫都能把她淹死！
“噌——”银光一闪，夏云惜手中的宝剑再次刺向完颜毅的下身，直接将他的命根儿切了下来。 都是这个肮脏的东西害了她！
“咚——”完颜毅跪在地上，下身一片血红，他额头上全是密密麻麻的汗珠，那种疼，是比胸口的痛还要多上百倍千倍。
这会儿，完颜毅终于明白，夏云惜是真真正正地恨他了，否则她也不会这样狠心。
“毅儿！” 林可心在儿子倒地的时候，扑了过去，扯了身上的锦缎盖在完颜毅身上，“毅儿，别怕，母妃在这儿，母妃在这儿！ 太医！
林可心的手捂着完颜毅的心口，想堵住这洞口，让他不再流血。 可是，这方法一点儿效果都没有，没一会儿，她的手就被这血染成了红色。
“母妃，没……没用……”鲜血，顺着完颜毅的下巴往外汩汩地流着，他年轻的生命，跟着这些流失的鲜血，悄悄地流逝着。
“母妃，儿臣不孝，不能……孝敬您了……儿臣后悔没听您的话……母妃……”完颜毅一激动，血流的更是厉害。
太医！” 林可心抹了把眼泪，却在自己细白的脸上，抹上了一片血色。 生命的最后，完颜毅竟是开口为夏云惜求情。
他知道，夏云惜刺杀自己，即便她是东鲁国的公主，完颜烈也不会轻易放过她。 完颜毅不想夏云惜出事儿，毕竟她动怒，是因为他的缘故。
见完颜毅最后，还是为夏云惜说话，林可心胸口疼得更加厉害，“毅儿，你别说话，你不会有事的，母妃求你了！ 别说话，坚持住，太医一会儿就来了！”
“呵……”完颜毅嘴角抽搐了两下，两眼努力地看向夏云惜，她的眼里，始终只有恨意，看来，这次他真是错的离谱。
这个世界留给完颜毅最后的印象，就是夏云惜那双含恨的眼。 虽然完颜毅很想对夏云惜说一声“对不起”，可是他的嘴唇努力地张了张，一个音都发不出来。 “毅儿，毅儿！
啊！”
抱着完颜毅的尸体，林可心痛苦地叫了起来，仿佛要把心中所有的委屈憋闷，全部喊出来。
只是一会儿功夫，事情就发生了戏剧性的转折，让旁边那些大臣们，都傻了眼。 北周国皇子强jian了东鲁国的公主，最后又死在东鲁国公主的手里。
大家在心里盘算着，完颜烈会不会因为完颜毅的死而追究夏云惜的责任。 如果追究，东鲁国皇帝夏进会不会答应？ 万一事情被闹大，两国发动战争怎么办？
原本和和美美的一桩和亲，最后变成闹剧加惨剧，让人不得不惊叹世事无常。
众人都在担心夏云惜能不能保住项上人头，这个当事人，却依旧是一脸仇恨地看着完颜毅的尸体，即便他死，也无法弥补他给她带来的伤害。 如果可以，夏云惜恨不得吃了完颜毅的肉泄愤。
整个气氛，因为完颜毅的死，而变得诡异的安静。 大臣们或低头，或看着指尖，或盯着前面站着那人的腰带。 没人出声，也没人敢在这个时候出声儿。
从完颜毅死，之后好长一段时间，完颜烈都没有说话。 而皇上的安静，更是让这些朝中混了多年的官员们提心吊胆起来。 皇家的丑闻，让臣子见到，完颜烈会怎么办？
是杀人灭口，还是如何？ 御花园从来没有像今天这样安静过。 除了林可心，一声高一声低的哭泣，再没有别的声音。
最后，夏云惜的声音打破了这片宁静。 虽然她很想去求凤苍，去解释这一切都不是他看到的那样，可是，夏云惜没有这样。
明明应该是凤苍，为什么后来变成了完颜毅？ 她没想到，完颜毅会这么卑鄙无耻，就算他死一万次，都不足以弥补她内心的伤痛！ 虽然身体还很疼，但是夏云惜现在只想离开这个让她备受耻辱的地方。
她没脸见凤苍，更没脸呆在北周国，她想离开这里，越快越好。 “我知道了。”
迦蓝万万没有想到事情会演变成这样，短短的时间，发生了这样大的变故，看来他要赶紧给东鲁国报信，这事儿说不定最后会成为国家问题，毕竟是夏云惜亲手杀了完颜毅。
迦蓝在前，夏云惜在后，两人打算离开御花园。
“呵呵——”原本抱着完颜毅的林可心站了起来，盯着夏云惜的背影，阴冷地笑着。 只是刹那，林可心像风似的，冲向夏云惜，手中不知何时多了一把匕首，等夏云惜发现异样，转过身来的时候，林可心的匕首已经没入夏云惜的腹部。
“既然毅儿这么喜欢你，你就下去陪她吧！” 林可心嘴角露出疯狂的笑容，她发疯似的，将手中的匕首一下又一下地刺进去，再拔出来。
“啪——”迦蓝一掌打在林可心肩头，林可心吃痛，手中匕首落地，迦蓝立刻为夏云惜止血。
“三师兄，好冷……”夏云惜脸色发白，嘴唇微微颤抖。
迦蓝运功，想为夏云惜疗伤，却发现根本没用。 那几刀，林可心几乎用尽了全身的力气，就算神仙在这儿，都无法救活夏云惜。
“凤……苍……”夏云惜想去看凤苍，却发现眼皮沉重的无法睁开，在最后一次说出凤苍的名字后，夏云惜闭上眼睛，一头歪在迦蓝的怀里。 怀中的人儿身子发冷，迦蓝知道她去了。
虽然夏云惜只是蓬莱岛的挂名弟子，可她终究要叫自己一声“师兄”。
“哈哈哈哈！” 看到夏云惜这样，林可心大笑了起来，“毅儿，母妃怕你孤单，把她给你送来了！ 毅儿，你开不开心啊！”
林可心披散着头发，脸上血渍和眼泪混合在了一块儿，她眼里充满了悲伤，配上这悲怆的话语，让人无法恨这个人。
一命抵一命，完颜毅死在夏云惜手里，夏云惜又死在林可心手里。 所有的仇恨，应该随着夏云惜的死而了结。
“陛下，我想带她回去。”
迦蓝抱起夏云惜，站了起来。 不管这事情最后会以什么样的结果而收场，此时的迦蓝，只想带夏云惜离开。 至少，她的尸骨应该葬在东鲁国，而不是留在北周。
“去吧——”完颜烈挥了挥手。 只是个宫宴，竟然发生了这么多的事情，让完颜烈一下子老了很多。
原本夏云惜过来和亲，是好事儿，可不想最后却以两具尸体作为收场。 完颜毅的确可恶，但罪不至死，夏云惜也的确冲动，可林可心位子报仇，又何尝不是冲动的魔鬼呢！
“散了吧，都散了吧！”
看着癫狂的林可心，完颜烈对众人挥了挥手，“都散了吧！”
等了很久，完颜烈终于发话，让百官心中立刻松了口气。 皇上都说散了，大家自然恨不得自己背上长出一对翅膀，能赶紧离开。
只是一会儿时间，御花园里就只剩下寥寥可数的几个人。
那些被完颜毅欺辱了的宫女们此时已经穿好了衣服，站成一排。 见完颜烈打量她们，这些宫女们都吓得瑟瑟发抖。
“杀了——”完颜烈没有多余的废话，他一声令下，黑衣人出现，一闪而过，这七八个宫女来不及呼喊，就倒在了地上。
看着地上蔓延开的红，完颜烈心中特别沉重。 今天发生了太多太多的事情，让他的脑子一下懵了。
“敬德，送德妃回静心殿，把二皇子葬了。
敬德让人上前搀扶林可心离开，她却怎么都不肯松开怀中的完颜毅，“毅儿别怕，母妃在你身边，母妃会保护你的！ 毅儿乖乖睡觉，别怕别怕！”
“让她抱着吧！ 找人看着她，等她累了，送她回静心殿。”
完颜烈挥挥手，转身离开了御花园。 他心中沉闷得厉害，所有的事情都对堆积在一起，无从消化，仿佛有一个东西，哽在他喉咙里，让他踹不过气来。
完颜烈缓缓离开，敬德安排了事情，小步跟在完颜烈身后，“皇上，您这是要去哪儿？”
“朕，想去长秋宫，看看明月。” 此时，完颜烈只想见到完颜明月，似乎只有在她身边，他的心才能平和下来。
完颜烈摇摇头，即便他想从完颜明月那儿找到安慰，现在机会也不对。 “回去！
一场宫宴，最后以完颜毅和夏云惜的死而告终。 大家更多是关注着御花园的事情，没人注意到之前大殿里出现的弥沙去了哪儿。
当迦蓝带着夏云惜的尸体回到他们暂住的宅子里的时候，弥沙正在小心翼翼地给慕容青莲剪指甲。 他买了婢女，伺候慕容青莲洗澡，又让婢女给她身上擦了药，换了身干净衣服，这会儿，慕容青莲看上去和之前判若两人，终于看得出原来的面貌了。 “莲，别怕！
哥哥会保护你哦！” 弥沙手中拿着一把小剪刀，将慕容青莲那些长指甲剪出一道完美的弧线来。 “等你好了，哥哥帮你报仇！”
这一路上，慕容青莲一直被弥沙抱着，而在刚才，被温热的水浸泡了之后，慕容青莲糊涂的大脑，渐渐地清醒了过来。
为什么一口一个“莲”来称呼她？ 慕容青莲一动不动地看着眼前这个美少年，怎么回忆，都想不出自己什么时候见过这人。
慕容青莲的话，让弥沙一愣，随后脸上露出一个清纯的笑容，“莲，你只有一个哥哥，就是我啊！”
“我的哥哥没有你好！” 慕容青莲摇摇头，“所以，你不是他！”
“莲，以前的事情是我错了！ 但是请你相信，这次我绝对不会像以前那样对你的！
弥沙的话没说完，门被推开，迦蓝抱着夏云惜出现在他们面前。
“师兄，云惜死了。”
弥沙看了看迦蓝怀中的夏云惜，嘴角露出一个诡异的笑容来，“人总是要死的，你我都是。 不用太难过！”
弥沙这样回答，在迦蓝的意料之外。 虽然夏云惜的确不那么讨喜，可他们毕竟也算同门一场，弥沙的回答实在是太冷漠，太没有人情味了。
“莲，来，哥哥为你剪指甲！” 撇开迦蓝和夏云惜，弥沙继续为慕容青莲剪指甲。 仿佛在他的世界里，只有慕容青莲才是最重要的。
看到弥沙这样，迦蓝张了张口，最后还是将到了嘴边的话咽下。 而这两人的互动，被慕容青莲捕捉在了眼里。
迦蓝曾经从慕容七七手中救下了她，并且说是受人所托。 如今，迦蓝和弥沙在一起，而且弥沙还说了这样一些莫名其妙的话，莫非迦蓝说的人莫非就是弥沙？
慕容青莲确定肯定自己从来没有见过这个叫弥沙的人，更不可能和他有任何交集。 弥沙这样，肯定是认错了人。
看着弥沙那张天真绝美的脸，和脸上真诚的笑容，慕容青莲心中有些犹豫。 这个人对她这么好，她要不要把自己不是他寻找的人这件事情告诉他呢？
如果她告诉弥沙，她不是他口中的“莲”，他还会不会像这样温柔地照顾她？
想到这儿，慕容青莲眼前突然浮现牢狱中的情形，那些鞭子，打得她皮开肉绽，旧的伤痕还没有恢复，就增添了新的伤痕。
要是弥沙知道她不是“莲”，又把她丢回大牢，那该怎么办？ 不！

This prince’s gut was really big. He wanted to cut off Nan Lin wang’s1 head and kick it as a ball…The people couldn’t help but look at Feng Cang. Most people’s eyes stayed on Feng Cang’s perfect neck. They imagined what kind of ability Wanyan Yi had to take Feng Cang’s head.
In contrary to the officials, Feng Cang didn’t have an expression on his face. His eyes only narrowed as if he hadn’t heard the words Wanyan Yi had just said. Only Murong Qi Qi laughed after hearing those words. “Big brother, it seems that we aren’t liked by the people! After killing big brother, presumably, he would then abuse little sister….”
Murong Qi Qi’s words sounded indifferent and floated to Wanyan Lie’s ears. It was but a small cry, but it made Wanyan Lie’s face undergo considerable change.
“Animal!” Wanyan Lie’s face looked malevolent. “What are you staring at? Still not tying this animal up?!”
An ‘animal’ made Lin Ke Xin wake up. Seeing Jing De move forward with people to tie Wanyan Yi up, Lin Ke Xin knelt in front of Wanyan Lie, “Your majesty, spare Yi er2! Usually, Yi er is filial and humble. Now that he’s like this; he’s certainly being set up by others! Asking your majesty to investigate clearly!”
“Drunk people spit out the truth. Even if people set him up, then how could the words he had just said not reveal his true thoughts?!” Wanyan Lie retrieved the leg that Lin Ke Xin had held on tightly. “In zhen’s3 eyes, you and your son had long coveted the throne and it must be you, the mother, who has installed those words in him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such things! Humph! Want zhen to die sooner, so you can get the world. This is well calculated!”
Lin Ke Xin’s face paled after her thoughts had been said out loud by Wanyan Lie. She quickly denied and also keenly kowtowed, “Your majesty, this subject wife’s heart is only for your majesty and also never had such a disgraceful thought. Asking your majesty to not listen to the vile person’s instigation. Asking your majesty to investigate clearly!”
“Instigation? Is there still the need for someone to instigate? Just now, he had said it with his own mouth!”
Wanyan Lie looked at Wanyan Yi. He found that this son was still immersed in his own world, and felt that this son was truly very shameful. “Jing De, are you also not listening to zhen anymore?! Quickly tie that animal up!”
“Yes!” Jing De quickly nodded. He gestured to let two eunuchs go forward. One at the left, one at the right, and they seized Wanyan Yi’s arms.
He was doing a good thing, but still got disturbed. This feeling was very not good. Wanyan Yi looked and saw that there were two eunuchs. He got his hands free and gave each of them a slap on the face, “Bastard! Didn’t you see that zhen is busy!”
Presumably, it was those words of Xia Yun Xi from earlier that made Wanyan Yi float. Now, his brain was impulsive and he felt that he’d already ascended the throne and became the emperor. So, he impulsively used ‘zhen’ in reference to himself.
“Look, you take a look! Just now, you said that zhen wronged you two. Now, he has already began to replace zhen!”
This word from Wanyan Yi undoubtedly made the Wanyan Lie, who’d been walking on an edge, collapse into a fire pit. ‘Pa!’ Wanyan Lie clapped. Two people in black appeared in front of everyone.
The people in black listened to Wanyan Lie’s order. They went forward. A short moment later, they had tied Wanyan Yi tightly with a rope. Don’t know if these people in black did it on purpose or not, but they didn’t give Wanayn Yi any clothes to wear. At this time, Wanyan Yi had been tied up like a fried dough and was thrown in front of Wanyan Lie.
“Let me go! Your gut is very big! Let me go!” While Wanyan Yi struggled, he shouted loudly. Wanyan Lie went forward and kicked Wanayn Yi’s face. Immediately, two red rivers flowed out of Wanyan Yi’s nose, accompanied with a ‘kacha’ sound.
“Ah…,” The intense pain coming from the bridge of his nose made Wanyan Yi wake up. “Who! Who the f*** kicked me?!”
Wanyan Yi’s foul language made the officials turn completely speechless. Even if you ate a drug and became crazy, but let’s trouble you to keep some reasoning! You’re a prince. In this world, there were only a few people who could kick you like this. If you think a bit, wouldn’t you know?
It turned out that the originally refined, gentle, elegant, clean-living, and honest highness actually had the NP hobby. Besides, he liked to do ladies in the open air. Not to mention his foul mouth and his big imagination… Wanyan Yi’s usually virtuous reputation, after today’s matter, was completely gone. (TL note: I don’t know what NP is. I tried to search for it but found nothing. If you know, enlighten me)
This ’who the f***’ from Wanyan Yi almost made Lin Ke Xin faint. Did this child’s brain get cramps? Did he become silly? He had actually talked like this to Wanyan Lie.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Wanyan Lie pulled a whip from the person in black’s waist and hit Wanyan Yi.
“Wa! Ah! Hurt!” Wanyan Yi shouted. However, he was now very tied up. He simply couldn’t break away. Now, he was rolling here and there on the ground, avoiding Wanyan Lie’s whip. From the point of view of the officials, it was like a big white worm twisting and turning on the ground.
“So ugly…,” Murong Qi Qi’s words just fell, when Feng Cang’s hand was suddenly before her eyes. “Don’t look. If you look at an ugly thing, you would get an eye of a needle!”
“Puchi..,” Feng Cang’s words made Murong Qi Qi laugh. Get an eye of a needle? Such a funny excuse, and Feng Cang had said it so seriously. However, Feng Cang had covered her eyes so she wouldn’t have to see something ugly. So, she simply closed her eyes and only listened to Wanyan Yi’s shouts.
“Ah! Emperor father, why are you beating this subject son!”
The pain on his body finally made Wanyan Yi wake up. When he looked up, in front of him were all people. Lin Ke Xin was kneeling on the floor with her face full of tears. And he… “Who took off this highness’ clothes? Who did it?!”
Seeing Wanyan Yi playing a fool now, Wanyan Lie felt even more that this bastard had made him lose his old face. Today, he has utterly lost face! Wanyan Lie didn’t answer Wanyan Yi. He whipped Wanyan Yi again and again, and left multiple blood trails on his (WY) body.
“Emperor father, this subject son is innocent, this subject son is innocent, ah!” Finally, Wanyan Yi felt shame. He faced the ground while his back faced the sky. He covered his most important part and kept saying he’s innocent. However, after Wanyan Lie got through the stimulation of just now, how could Wanyan Yi’s words enter his ears!
At this side, Wanyan Yi had woken up completely under Wanyan Lie’s whip. At the other side, Jia Lan took off his coat and wrapped up Xia Yun Xi.
“Junior sister? Junior sister!”
Jia Lan called two times, but Xia Yun Xi didn’t wake up. She was still immersed in her own happiness. She looked with infatuation at Jia Lan’s face. She reached out and touched his face, “Good brother, how come I didn’t see you for a short time, you’ve changed appearance?”
“Junior sister! I’m Jia Lan, your third senior brother!” Jia Lan frowned and grabbed Xia Yun Xi’s hand.
“Third senior brother? Hehe, good brother, don’t lie to me! Third senior brother is at Penglai Island! You can pretend to be anyone, why pretend to be third senior brother to lie to me?!”
Seeing that Xia Yun Xi was still befuddled, Jia Lan carried her to the lake. He put her head in the water. It was the beginning of spring. The water of the lake was still cold. Under the stimulation of this cold, Xia Yun Xi shuddered, choked and woke up completely.
“Third senior brother, why are you here?” The water on Xia Yun Xi’s face dripped onto the ground. She stared at Jia Lan with a look of disbelief.
“I should ask you this!”
Jia Lan knew that Xia Yun Xi being like this was because she was under the influence of some drug. Besides, Wanyan Yi also seemed to have the same symptoms. However, who did it? Why did he/she do it?
Xia Yun Xi was puzzled at Jia Lan’s words. When she felt somewhat cold and wanted to tighten the clothes on her body, she discovered that her dress had become a man’s coat and that she wasn’t wearing anything underneath.
While talking, Xia Yun Xi gradually recalled the fragments of just now. Wanyan Yi’s face clearly appeared in front of Xia Yun Xi. “It’s him. He certainly did it!”
Xia Yun Xi wanted to stand up, but because of what had happened, her legs didn’t have any strength. When she saw Wanyan Yi kneeling not too far away, Xia Yun Xi screamed once again. The high voice was ear-splitting.
Xia Yun Xi’s scream also let Wanyan Yi remember what had happened. He got her. He finally got her! In contrast to Xia Yun Xi’s screams, Wanyan Yi had a look of joy on his face. Could this be the destiny decided by heaven?
“Yun er, I’m here. Yun er!”
Although he was tightly bound, but Wanyan Yi still struggled to get up and wanted to go to Xia Yun Xi.
The moment she saw the naked Wanyan Yi as he turned around, Xia Yun Xi clutched her head and screamed. She didn’t know why she would be with Wanyan Yi and why such a thing had happened between them. Shouldn’t Feng Cang be the one who had drunk the wine? Why was it Wanyan Yi?!
Xia Yun Xi shook her head. She seemed to look around for Feng Cang. In the end, she saw Feng Cang dressed in white among the crowd. He stood there coldly with a frost-like expression. When her gaze touched Feng Cang’s eyes, Xia Yun Xi clearly saw the nausea and disgust inside those eyes.
“No, it wasn’t like this!” When she saw those officials, Xia Yun Xi knew her everything had been ruined by Wanyan Yi.
Her reputation as a girl, her marriage, her destiny and Feng Cang; all of these left her because of Wanyan Yi.
Tears as big as the size of beans streamed down Xia Yun Xi’s face. She didn’t say anything. She glared fiercely at Wanyan Yi as if she wanted to use her eyes to dig out Wanyan Yi’s heart.
Wanyan Yi had never seen such a Xia Yun Xi. He knew that she must hate him for this matter. In front of so many people, Xia Yun Xi’s face, Dong Lu’s face, all was lost.
“Yun er, I’m sorry. I couldn’t restrain myself. I really love you very much. I truly love you!”
Wanyan Yi moved to Xia Yun Xi. His words made everyone come to a ‘realization’. So, it was like that! So, it was second prince who fell in love with princess Yun. So, he used such a fierce way to get her.
It was just, this highness was really too careless! The kind of place you chose was not right. Why choose the imperial garden where everyone can come and go? Such a thing had happened in the palace and the parties were a prince and a princess. This matter was really too horrifying.
The ‘love’ Wanyan Yi was talking about; to Xia Yun Xi, it was the biggest joke. After resting for a moment, her legs gradually restored their consciousness. Xia Yun Xi stood up. Step by step, she walked to Wanyan Yi.
“You love me? No, you don’t love me. You’re bringing harm to me! You obviously know I liked Feng Cang and still used such underhanded means to get me. You love me? No, the things you like are my identity and the help that Dong Lu behind me could bring you.”
“You’re jealous of Feng Cang! You’re afraid that he’ll get your throne, so you had to increase your own chips. That was why, you’d set your eyes on me! Even at the expense of using such ways to destroy me to get what you want! You’re too shameless!”
“No! It’s not like this!” Wanyan Yi shook his head. Although he did have such thoughts, but he liked Xia Yun Xi more. “Yun er, I really love you! Really! I swear! I can swear on my life!”
“Life?” In Xia Yun Xi’s ears, this world was a complete joke. Her everything was ruined. What had happened just now, Feng Cang certainly saw it. He originally didn’t like her. Now, he must hate her even more because she’s a casual woman.
“Since you’re willing to swear with your life, then go die!”
Xia Yun Xi pulled the sword from Jia Lan’s waist and pierced Wanyan Yi’s heart. This one attack was fast. So fast, people couldn’t stop it. When everyone understood what had happened, Xia Yun Xia d already pulled out the sword. Red blood burst out and splashed Xia Yun Xi’s whole face.
“Yi er!” After Lin Ke Xin saw such a scene, she went completely blank. Even Wanyan Lie was stunned.
“Yun er…,” Blood gushed out of Wanyan Yi’s mouth. He had a look of disbelief. The woman he loved didn’t consider the physical relationship between husband and wife of just now. She actually hated him this much.
“Yun er, you really…really hate me so much?”
The pain on his chest made Wanyan Yi take deep breaths. That one attack had directly stabbed his heart. At this time, Wanyan Yi could clearly feel the pain coming from his heart. It turned out that death was such a feeling, ah! However, he wasn’t resigned. He really wasn’t resigned!
“I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I will never forgive you!” Xia Yun Xi couldn’t accept what had happened. So many people saw it. How could she live?! If this matter was spread out, the saliva of the people was enough to drown her!
‘Ceng…’, a silver light flashed. The sword in Xia Yun Xi’s hand once again stabbed Wanyan Yi’s lower body and cut down his **. It was this dirty thing that had brought calamity to her. It was he who had brought calamity to her!
“Ah!” Before Wanyan Yi died, he screamed tragically. ‘Dong…’ Wanyan Yi knelt on the floor, full of blood. His forehead was sweaty. That kind of pain was a hundred, a thousand times more painful than the pain coming from his chest.
At this time, Wanyan Yi finally understood that Xia Yun Xi truly hated him, otherwise she wouldn’t have been so cruel.
“Yi er!”1 Lin Ke Xin rushed over when her son fell. She pulled the brocade from her body and covered Wanyan Yi’s body, “Yi er, don’t be afraid. Consort mother is here. Consort mother is here! Imperial physician! Quickly summon the imperial physician!
Lin Ke Xin’s hands clutched Wanyan Yi’s chest and wanted to block the hole to not let blood come out. However, this method had no effect. A short while later, her hands were covered red with blood.
“Consort mother, it’s…it’s useless…” Blood flowed along Wanyan Yi’s chin. His young life following the loss of this blood was also lost.
“Consort mother, this subject son is not filial, can’t…be filial to you anymore…this subject son regretted not listening to you…consort mother…” Wanyan Yi’s excitement made the blood flow faster.
“Don’t talk. Consort mother will certainly cure you! Don’t talk, Yi er! Imperial physician! Imperial physician!” Lin Ke Xin wiped her tears, but she stained her white face with blood.
At the end of life, Wanyan Yi actually pleaded for Xia Yun Xi. He knew that Xia Yun Xi assassinated him. Even if she’s a Dong Lu’s princess, Wanyan Lie would not let her off easily. Wanyan Yi didn’t want anything to happen to Xia Yun Xi. After all, she got angry because of him.
Seeing that till the end, Wanyan Yi still spoke for Xia Yun Xi, Lin Ke Xin’s heart did more pain, “Yi er, don’t talk anymore. Nothing will happen to you. Consort mother begs you! Don’t talk, hold on. The imperial physician will arrive soon!”
“Ha…,” Wanyan Yi’s mouth twitched twice. His eyes tried hard to look at Xia Yun Xi. Her eyes only had hate. It seemed that this time, he really did wrong.
The last impression that this world left Wanyan Yi was those eyes full of hate of Xia Yun Xi. Although, Wanyan Yi really wanted to say, “I’m sorry” to Xia Yun Xi, but his mouth tried hard to open, but not a sound came out.
“Yi er, Yi er! Ah!”
Holding Wanyan Yi’s body, Lin Ke Xin screamed painfully as if she eanted to shout all her grievances and feelings of oppression out.
Just a short while, the things had undergone a dramatic turnaround, making those officials dumbfounded. Bei Zhou’s prince raped Dong Lu’s princess. In the end, he died at the hand of Dong Lu’s princess. How should this matter be judged?
Everyone was calculating if Wanyan Lie would held Xia Yun Xi responsible for Wanyan Yi’s death or not. If he held her responsible, would Dong Lu’s emperor Xia Jin agree? If by chance, this matter gets big, the two countries launched war, then what?
The original beautiful marriage alliance in the end became a drama and a tragedy, making people couldn’t help but sigh at the fickleness of the affairs of life.
While everyone was worrying about if Xia Yun Xi could keep the head on her body, this involved party still looked full of hatred at Wanyan Yi’s body. Even if he died, he still couldn’t make up for the harm he caused her. If she could, Xia Yun Xi wished to eat his flesh to vent her anger.
The atmosphere, because of Wanyan Yi’s death become strangely quiet. The officials lowered their head or looked at their fingertips or looked at the belt of the person standing in front of them. No one spoke and no one dare to make a sound at this moment.
A long period after Wanyan Yi’s death, Wanyan Lie didn’t spoke. The silence of the emperor let these officials who mixed in the court for many years became more scared and on edge. The royal scandal was seen by the officials; what would Wanyan Lie do. Was it to silence them or something else?
The imperial garden had never been so quiet as today. Aside from Lin Ke Xin’s sometimes loud and sometimes low crying, there was no other sound.
“Third senior brother, I’m tired. Let’s go!” Finally, it was Xia Yun Xi who broke this piece of quietness. Although she wanted to go beg Feng Cang and explain that everything wasn’t like what he saw, but Xia Yun Xi didn’t do it.
At this time, Xia Yun Xi’s mind was blank. She couldn’t think of why the matter would become like this! Obviously, it should be Feng Cang; why did it become Wanyan Yi? She didn’t think that Wanyan Yi was so despicable and shameless. Even if he died ten thousand times is not enough to make up from her inner pain!
Although her body still hurt very much, but now Xia Yun Xi only wanted to leave this place that made her feel so much shame. She didn’t have the face to look at Feng Cang and didn’t have even more face to stay at Bei Zhou. She wanted to leave here. The sooner the better.
“I know.” Jia Lan never imagined that things would turn out like this. In such a short period of time, such a big change happened. It seemed that he should sent Dong Lu a letter quickly. If this matter isn’t dissolved, then it would become a national problem. After all, it was Xia Yun Xi who personally killed Wanyan Yi.
Jia Lan was in the front. Xia Yun Xi was behind him. The two intended to leave the imperial garden.
“Hehe…,” Lin Ke Xin who was originally holding Wanyan Yi stood up. She stared at Xia Yun Xi’s back and laughed coldly. In just a moment, Lin Ke Xin rushed to Xia Yun Xi like the wind. Don’t know when, a dagger appeared in her hand. When Xia Yun Xi sensed something strange and turned around, Lin Ke Xin’s dagger already entered Xia Yun Xi’s abdomen.
“Since Yi er likes you so much, then go down to keep him company!” Lin Ke Xin revealed a crazy smile. She frantically pushed the dagger repeatedly in and then pulled it out.
‘Pa…’ Jia Lan’s palm hit Lin Ke Xin’s shoulder. Lin Ke Xin felt pain. The dagger in her hand fell on the ground. Jia Lan immediately stopped the bleeding for Xia Yun Xi.
“Third senior brother, so cold…,” Xia Yun Xi was pale-faced and her lips trembled slightly.
Jia Lan exercised his inner energy, wanting to heal Xia Yun Xi’s injury, but he discovered that it was useless. Lin Ke Xin seemed to have used all the strength from her body on those few cuts. Even if god was here, he wouldn’t be able to save Xia Yun Xi.
“Feng…Cang…,” Xia Yun Xi wanted to look at Feng Cang, but she discovered that her eyelids were heavy and she was unable to open them. After saying Feng Cang’s name for the last time, Xia Yun Xi closed her eyes. Her head fell in Jia Lan’s arms. “Junior sister…”
The body of the person in his arms was cold. Although Xia Yun Xi was a Penglai Island’s disciple only by name, but after all she had to call him ‘senior brother’.
“Hahahaha!” Seeing Xia Yun Xi like this, Lin Ke Xin laughed loudly. “Yi er, consort mother is afraid that you’ll be lonely and sent her to you! Yi er, are you happy?!”
Lin Ke Xin’s hair was scattered. The blood and tears merged together on her face. Her eyes were full of sadness. Coupled with these sad words, it made people unable to hate this person.
A life for a life. Wanyan Yi died at Xia Yun Xi’s hands. Xia Yun Xi died at Lin Ke Xin’s hands. All hatred should end with Xia Yun Xi’s death.
“Your majesty, I want to take her back!”
Jia Lan carried Xia Yun Xi and stood up. No matter what the outcome of this matter would be, now, Jia Lan only wanted to leave with Xia Yun Xi. At least, she should be buried at Dong Lu and not at Bei Zhou.
“Go…,” Wanyan Lie gestured with his hands. So many things happened at a palace banquet making Wanyan Lie suddenly seem to be a lot older.
Originally, Xia Yun Xi came to form a marriage alliance. It was a good thing. He didn’t expect that in the end, it would end with two corpses. Wanyan Yi was indeed hateful, but his crime shouldn’t have been punished with the death. Xia Yun Xi was indeed impulsive, but to take revenge for her son, wasn’t Lin Ke Xin also an impulsive demon?!
“Leave, everyone, leave!”
Looking at the mad Lin Ke Xin, Wanyan Lie gestured at the crowd, “Everyone, leave!”
After a long time, Wanyan Lie finally spoke, making the officials let out a sigh of relief. Emperor said to leave. Naturally everyone wished that a pair of wings could grow on their back and quickly leave.
In just a moment, only a handful of people was left in the imperial garden.
Those palace maids who had been humiliated by Wanyan Yi, at this time, they were dressed and stood in a row. Seeing that Wanyan Lie was looking at them, these palace maids shivered from being scared.
“Kill…,” Wanyan Lie didn’t say more nonsense. The next moment after his order, a person in black appeared. In a flash, these seven to eight palace maids didn’t have a chance to scream, they fell on the ground.
Looking at the redness spread on the ground, Wanyan Lie’s heart was particularly heavy. Today, too many things had happened, making his mind somewhat blank.
“Jing De, escort consort De back to Jingxin hall. Burry second prince. Zhen 2 is tired and want to rest…”
Jing De let people support Lin Ke Xin to Jingxin hall. No matter what, she wouldn’t let go of Wanyan Yi in her arms, “Yi er, don’t be afraid. Consort mother is at your side. Consort mother will protect you! Yi er, sleep obediently. Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid!”
“Emperor…,” The crazy Lin Ke Xin was a bit difficult for Jing De. He could only look at Wanyan Lie.
“Let her! Find someone to look over her. When she’s tired, send her back to Jingxin hall!” Wanyan Lie gestured with his hand, turned and left the imperial garden. His heart felt very heavy. Everything piled together and he had no way to digest it. It was as if something was struck in his throat, making him unbale to breath.
Wanyan Lie slowly left. Jing De arranged everything and followed behind Wanyan Lie with small steps, “Emperor, where are you going?”
“Zhen wants to go to Long Autumn palace and see Ming Yue.” Now, Wanyan Lie only wanted to see Wanyan Ming Yue as if only at her side, his heart would calm down.
Jing De’s reminder made Wanyan Lie wake up. That’s right, ah! Murong Qi Qi is living there. If he goes during the day, wouldn’t it let people suspect? Forget it! Forget it! Wanyan Lie shook his head. Even if he wanted to find comfort at Wanyan Ming Yue’s, but now was not the right time. “Go back! Zhen will go to the imperial study…”
A palace banquet ended with Wanyan Yi’s and Xia Yun Xi’s death. Everyone was more concerned about what had happened at the imperial garden. No one paid attention to where Misha who appeared at the hall before, went to.
When Jia Lan returned with Xia Yun Xi’s body to the mansion where they were temporarily staying, Misha was carefully cutting Murong Qing Lian’s nails. He bought a maid to help Murong Qing Lian bath. He also let the maid apply medicine on Murong Qing Lian’s body and let her change Murong Qing Lian in new clothes. Now, Murong Qing Lian looked like a complete different person from the one from before. Finally, her original appearance could be seen.
“Lian, don’t be afraid! Big brother will protect you!” Misha held a small scissor and cut the nails of Murong Qing Lian in a perfect arc. “When you’re better, big brother will help you take revenge!”
This whole way, Murong Qing Lian had been held by Misha. Just now, after soaking in the warm water, Murong Qing Lian’s confused mind gradually sobered up.
Who was this person? Why would he use ‘Lian’ to address her? Murong Qing Lian looked motionless at the beautiful boy in front of her. Why couldn’t she remember when she had seen this person? “I only have one big brother, but he isn’t you…”
Murong Qing Lian’s words made Misha surprised for a moment. Then, he revealed a pure smile, “Lian, you only have one big brother and that is me, ah!”
“My big brother is not as great as you!” Murong Qing Lian shook her head, “So, you’re not him!”
“Lian, what happened in the past was my fault! But, please believe that this time, I won’t treat you like before! I already regretted. I shouldn’t have…”
Misha didn’t finish, when the door was opened. Jia Lan appeared in front of them while carrying Xia Yun Xi.
“Senior brother, Yun Xi died.”
Misha looked at Xia Yun Xi in Jia Lan’s arms. He revealed a strange smile, “People are always going to die. You and I will also die one day. Don’t need to be sad!”
Misha’s answer was outside of Jia Lan’s expectations. Although Xia Yun Xi wasn’t likeable, but after all, they could be considered to have come from the same master. Misha’s answer was too cold and didn’t have a human touch.
“Lian, come, big brother will cut your nails for you!” Leaving aside, Jia Lan and Xia Yun Xi, Misha continued to cut Murong Qing Lian’s nails as if in his world, Murong Qing Lian was the most important.
Seeing Misha like this, Jia Lan opened his mouth, but in the end, he still swallowed his words. The interaction of the two was caught by Murong Qing Lian’s eyes.
Before, she had seen Jia Lan. At that time, Jia Lan saved her once at the tournament of the four countries from Murong Qi Qi. Besides, he said that he did it for someone else. Now, Jia Lan was together with Misha. Besides Misha said such inexplicable things; could it be that the person Jia Lan was referring to was Misha?
Murong Qing Lian was certainly, definitely sure that she had never seen this person called Misha. She couldn’t have any intersection with him. Misha had certainly mistaken her for the wrong person.
Seeing Misha’s beautiful face and the sincere smile on his face, Murong Qing Lian had some hesitation. This person was so good to her. Should she tell him that she’s not the person he was looking for?
If she told Misha that she’s not his ‘Lian’, would he still take care of her with such gentleness?
Thinking till here, in front of Murong Qing Lian’s eyes suddenly appeared the situation in prison. Those whips beat her till her flesh lacerated. The old scars weren’t healed yet, when new scars were added.
If Misha knew that she wasn’t ‘Lian’ and throws her back in prison, then what should she do? No! She didn’t want it to be like that! She didn’t want to live in that darkness anymore. She didn’t want to live like an animal anymore!

"value": "Chapter 307: A spirit beast senior with an incurable disease\nTranslator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu Its disposition could change at any moment… what it liked and disliked would also change frequently. Moreover, it could assume many different appearances—did it mean that its personality would change according to each transformation?\nThe confused Song Shuhang stepped on the dock and followed Nine Lanterns, setting out on a big road. After traveling on this road, they arrived in front of a huge palace.\nThe palace was extremely luxurious and resembled the residence of an immortal. It wasn't something that belonged to the world of mortals.\nThere were no guards at the entrance.\nTherefore, Song Shuhang and Nine Lanterns directly barged in.\nAfter entering the palace, Song Shuhang saw a row of musical instruments on both sides of the hall. There were zithers, pipas, bells… in short, all kinds of ancient musical instruments.\nNo one was playing these instruments, but their strings were automatically moving and bells were emitting sounds on their own, creating an extremely pleasant music. It was truly a marvelous scene.\nIn front, there was a big platform, and above this platform were ten layers of thick animal furs; they looked very soft and comfortable.\nOn top of these furs was lying a shining ball of lightning, perfectly still.\nIf one were to look carefully, they would notice that the ball of lightning was actually a pig that had curled up into a ball. This one was even rounder and smoother than the one they saw on the parasol tree at the entrance to the valley.\n\"Tsk. Today, it has the appearance of a pig?\" Nine Lanterns muttered.\nThis form was one of the thirty-six forms that this spirit beast senior could turn into. Moreover, this form was rather troublesome to deal with.\nOn the platform, the huge pig surround by lightning slowly opened its eyes. After shooting a look at Nine Lanterns and Song Shuhang… it closed its eyes again.\n\"Senior, I've come to see you!\" Nine Lanterns loudly shouted at the spirit beast lying on the platform.\nThe pig opened its eyes once more. Then, it opened its mouth, but no words came out of it.\nBlue veins started to bulge faintly on Nine Lanterns' forehead. She took a deep breath and said, \"Senior Lightning Pig, Nine Lanterns has come to see you!\"\nThe huge pig opened its eyes again and looked at Nine Lanterns with great difficulty, uttering a single word, \"Oh.\"\nAfter a while, it moved its body and said, \"It's you, Nine Lanterns.\"\nAnd again after a while, the pig gasped for breath and said, \"Nine Lanterns! Don't casually come here to disturb me, alright? You know that I'm very ill…\"\nThe bulging blue veins on Nine Lanterns' forehead doubled in size. \"Senior, what illness do you have?\"\n\"I have an incurable illness.\" The pig gasped for breath. It seemed as though it was about to die after saying just a few sentences.\nWhat kind of disease reduced this powerful spirit beast to this state? Song Shuhang thought to himself.\n\"What incurable illness is it?\" The bulging veins on Nine Lanterns' forehead seemed to have subsided a bit.\n\"It's cancer.\" The huge pig bitterly smiled and said, \"This disease is really too fearful.\"\n\"What nonsense are you babbling about?!\" Nine Lanterns howled. \"You're a powerful spirit beast that has reached the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm! How can you even get cancer?!\"\nSong Shuhang asked out of curiosity, \"What kind of cancer is it?\"\nNine Lanterns rubbed her forehead and joined her palms together, starting to chant buddhist scriptures to calm herself.\nThe huge pig sighed deeply and said, \"It's the sloth cancer, and it's already in the terminal stage, no medicine can help me.\"\n\"...\" Song Shuhang. \"Sloth cancer your a*ss! Moreover, didn't you say the last time that your anus had problems and that you wanted to change your name to Anus Pig—\" Nine Lanterns had yet to finish her sentence when a huge hole suddenly appeared beneath her feet, making her fall down.\n\"Aaaaaaah!\" Nine Lanterns screamed in fear, and her voice was getting more and more distant as time passed by.\nThe hole seemed quite deep. Moreover, it surely had a formation to impede flight as to avoid Nine Lanterns directly flying out of it.\nAfter Nine Lanterns fell inside the pit, one of the slates moved with a clang and covered the hole once more.\nAfter dealing with Nine Lanterns, the Lightning Pig turned its small eyes around and looked at Song Shuhang. \"Little kid, who are you?\"\n\"My name is Song Shuhang. Nice to meet you, Senior.\" Song Shuhang earnestly greeted the pig.\nThe Lightning Pig used its leg to knock on its head.\nAfter a while, it said curiously, \"Do we know each other?\"\nSong Shuhang shook his head. \"Miss Nine Lanterns brought me here, it's my first time meeting you.\"\n\"...\" Song Shuhang.\nLuckily, it opened its eyes again and asked, \"Speaking of which, why did that little girl bring you here? What do you need from me?\"\n\"She brought me here because she was hoping to obtain the skeletal dragon's withered vine from you,\" Song Shuhang replied honestly.\nSince he didn't know what kind of disposition this senior had, it was better to tell the truth.\n\"The skeletal dragon's withered vine? Oh, so it was about the flood dragon skeleton in my possession.\" The Lightning Pig smiled. Soon after, it waved its leg and said, \"Kid, I don't mind giving you the skeletal dragon's withered vine. However, my sloth cancer is flaring up and I need to rest. Can you return another time? The next time you come here, I'll gift you that thing. It's useless to me after all.\"\n\"Moreover, please stop staring at me like that. If you keep staring at me, I can't fall asleep,\" the Lightning Pig said while waving its leg.\nSong Shuhang thought a bit and asked, \"Senior, you said 'next time' earlier, but how long is that exactly?\"\n\"Hm… around 300 years? This time, I want to slee- ugh! This time, I want to try to overcome this illness with all my strength; I'll surely defeat this sloth cancer!\" The Lightning Pig clenched its teeth.\nThis powerful senior was a rather mischievous creature, and it actually wanted to sleep for 300 years...\nBut after 300 years, Song Shuhang might be already dead, and Sixteen couldn't wait for so long either!\nTherefore, Song Shuhang asked cautiously, \"How can I obtain the skeletal dragon's withered vine a little earlier?\"\nThe Lightning Pig opened its eyes faintly and sighed. \"By leaving me alone.\"\nSong Shuhang clenched his teeth and said, \"I request Senior to instruct, what does that mean?\"\n\"It means literally what it means!\" The Lightning Pig sighed with emotion.\nSong Shuhang obviously knew the meaning of the pig's words, but he couldn't afford to wait for 300 years. Therefore, he started to stare at it intensely, without even blinking.\nIn the next instant, the pig stretched its leg and reached out to the remote control once more.\nSong Shuhang's scalp went numb, that was the same remote control that had created a huge hole beneath Nine Lanterns' feet, making her fall down. Song Shuhang quickly jumped to a side as to avoid ending up like her!\n\"Naive.\" The Lightning Pig smiled coldly.\nThe floor of the entire hall disappeared, revealing a huge abyss beneath, too deep to see its bottom.\n\"Aaaaah…\" Song Shuhang called out in alarm as he fell into the hole. ❄️❄️❄️\n\"Ah… now I can finally have a good sleep. This time, I'll surely sleep for 300 years,\" the Lightning Pig muttered. Afterward, it pressed a few buttons of the on the remote control, restoring the floor of the hall to its previous condition.\nThereafter, it closed its eyes and fell into a deep slumber.\nBut as the lightning disappeared, the other side of its body became visible. There was deep wound there, so deep even its bone could be seen. Black smoke was coming out of the wound continuously, not allowing it to heal.\nThe lightning coiling around its body was so dazzling that even Nine Lanterns didn't notice this wound. ❄️❄️❄️\nSong Shuhang kept falling and falling, and he felt as though there was no bottom to this hole.\nJust as he was in deep thoughts, he felt his body get lighter and float upward.\nAfter floating up for a few centimeters, he slowly fell downward.\nAfterward, the sound of crushed stones transmitted from beneath his feet.\nHave I reached the bottom?\nAt this time, Nine Lanterns dim voice reached him from a side. \"You were also thrown here, huh?\"\nSong Shuhang turned his head in the direction of the voice; he could glimpse Nine Lanterns' bare head amidst the darkness. At this time, she was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a depressed expression on her face.\n\"Miss Nine Lanterns.\" After seeing that she was also here, Song Shuhang relaxed a bit. \"How do we get out of this place?\"\n\"The fat pig will release us once it's done taking a nap. It did the same thing the last time,\" Nine Lanterns muttered. She seemed rather experienced in this matter.\nSong Shuhang said, \"Speaking of which, Senior Lightning Pig said it wanted to sleep for 300 years to fight against the sloth cancer.\"\n\"300 years? What a joke!\" Blue veins started to bulge on Nine Lanterns' forehead. \"What did you two talk about?\"\nThen, Song Shuhang told Nine Lanterns of the contents of the conversation between the Senior Lightning Pig and him.\n\"Dammit. Even if it wants to sleep for 300 years, it could put us out first! I won't forget about this enmity. Wait till I reach the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm; at the time, I'll put that pig to an eternal slumber so that it wouldn't have to wake up anymore!\" Nine Lanterns clenched her teeth in anger.\n\"Miss Nine Lanterns, can't we climb out of this hole?\" Song Shuhang asked, somewhat confused.\n\"The fat pig engraved restricting formations on all walls, we can't climb our way out,\" Nine Lanterns said, somewhat depressed. \"Moreover, the hole is covered by a powerful formation that forbids flight. Unless you're a Seventh Stage Venerable, you can't fly in this place. Even if you had ten pairs of wings, it would be still useless.\"\n\"Then, is there a secret passage somewhere?\" Song Shuhang asked after pondering for a moment.\n\"The last time I fell here, I searched every nook and cranny and couldn't find anything that resembled a secret passage,\" Nine Lanterns said depressedly as she rested her chin in her hand.\n\"Then, how do we get out? Do we really have to wait 300 years?\"\n\"Don't worry. Before coming here, I made some preparations,\" Nine Lanterns said as she pointed at her greenish-white robe. \"Earlier, I changed my clothes precisely to deal with such a situation!\"\nThen, she started to take off her greenish-white robe.\nThe nearby Song Shuhang hurried to cover his eyes..."

第307章
爱好和性格是迷，忌讳什么的也常常变化，就连外貌也多种多样——这是一个拥有变形能力，然后每变一次身，就会换一个人格的灵兽前辈吗？
就这样，宋书航心怀疑惑，随着九灯姑娘踏上码头，沿着长长的官道，一直来到座巨大的宫殿前。
宫殿豪华无比，如同仙殿楼阁，不似凡间之物。
殿门口没人守护。
九灯便带着他直接进入殿中。
进入主殿后，宋书航看到大殿两侧成排的乐器，有琴瑟、琵琶、钟器……各种各样的古风乐器。
这些乐器没有人弹奏，但琴弦自动，钟音自鸣，配合出一曲曲悦耳的音乐，甚是神奇。
而在宫殿的正前方，有一个巨大的高台。 高台上铺着十余层厚厚的动物皮毛，看上去就很软、很舒服。
然后，有一团雷电光芒趴在高台上，一动不动。
仔细看的话，可以看到这团雷电之中，有一只同样圆滚滚的猪的身影，比起当时谷口梧桐树上的那只更加的圆润。
“啧，今天是猪的形态吗？” 九灯姑娘喃喃道。
猪的形态，是这只灵兽前辈三十六种形态中的一种，而且是比较麻烦的一种。
高台上，那只雷电缠绕的巨猪微微睁开眼睛，瞄了九灯姑娘和宋书航一眼，然后……它又闭上眼睛。
“前辈，我来找你啦！” 九灯姑娘对着台上的灵兽大声叫道。
巨猪再次微微睁开眼睛，嘴巴张了张，却没有出声。
九灯的额头那条‘怒之青筋’又隐隐浮现了，沉呼吸：“天雷猪前辈，九灯来找你啦！”
巨猪再一次睁开眼睛，似乎很努力的望了眼九灯：“哦。”
哦完后，半晌，巨猪身体动了动：“是九灯啊。”
又过半晌，巨猪喘着气道：“九灯啊，有事没事都别打扰前辈好吗。
九灯额头，‘怒之青筋’两连发：“前辈，生了什么病？” “前辈我，得了不治的绝症了。”
巨猪喘着气。 说几句话都喘的跟抽风机一样。
强大的灵兽，也会生病吗？ 宋书航心中疑惑。
“什么绝症？” 九灯额头的筋微微平息了一些。
“是癌症。” 巨猪露出个苦涩的笑容：“这个病，太可怕了。”
“你在开什么玩笑！” 九灯姑娘怒吼起来：“你堂堂七品灵兽尊者，到底要从哪里弄个癌症，让你生着玩？”
宋书航好奇问道：“是什么癌？”
九灯用力揉了揉自己的额头，然后双手合掌，默念经文。
巨猪沉沉的叹了口气：“是一种叫懒癌的癌症，已经晚期了，药石无用。”
“懒癌你个大头鬼啊，上一次你还不是说菊花有问题，要改名叫菊花猪的吗……噗……”九灯姑娘话还没说话，突然她脚底下出现了个大坑。
“啊啊啊啊啊。” 九灯姑娘的惊叫声传来，声音越来越远。
这个坑洞似乎还挺深的。 而且，肯定设定了禁空之类的阵法，让她掉下去就无法飞上来。
九灯姑娘掉下后，‘啪’的一声，大坑的上方有一块石板移回，将那巨大的坑洞盖上。
处理完九灯姑娘后，天雷猪那小小的眼睛又转过来，盯住宋书航：“小家伙。 你又是谁啊？”
“晚辈宋书航，见过前辈。” 宋书航有模有样的行了个礼。
天雷猪用爪子敲了敲自己的脑壳。
半晌后，它好奇的问道：“我们认识吗？”
宋书航摇了摇头：“晚辈这是被九灯姑娘带来，第一次见到前辈。”
“哦。”
天雷猪马上又睁开了眼睛：“话说，九灯小丫头带你过来找我，是有什么事情想求我？”
“是的，她想带晚辈过来看看，能不能从前辈手中得到一株龙骨枯藤。” 宋书航诚恳答道。
哦，原来是惦记着我收藏的那具蛟龙骨架子啊。”
天雷猪呵呵笑道，随后，它摆了摆爪子：“小家伙，龙骨枯藤给你也没问题的，只是我懒癌又犯病了，需要好好休息养病。 不如，你下次再来吧？ 下次来时，我就直接将那东西送你，反正不值几个小钱。”
“对了，你别插在原地盯着我看啊，被人盯着的话，我会睡不着的。”
宋书航想了想后，问道：“请问前辈，我下次需要什么时候过来？”
“三百年后吧，这一趟老夫要睡个够——啊不，这趟老夫一定要战胜病魔，将懒癌给消灭掉！” 天雷猪咬牙切齿道。
这些修为精深的前辈就是任性，睡个觉就是三百年。
但三百年后，说不定他都成骨灰了，苏氏阿十六也不可能等的了三百年啊。
于是，宋书航小心翼翼问道：“前辈，我要怎样才能提前得到龙骨枯藤？”
天雷猪微微睁开眼睛，叹了口气：“只要不打扰我的情况下。”
宋书航咬牙问道：“请教前辈，我具体要怎么做？”
“字面上的意思啊！” 天雷猪感叹道。
宋书航当然知道是字面上的意思，但他等不了三百年。 于是，宋书航笔直的盯住天雷猪庞大的身躯，眼睛一眨都不眨的。
下一刻，它伸手按向边上的遥控器。
宋书航头皮发麻，这可是突然出现个坑吞了九灯姑娘的陷阱遥控，于是他迅速的向一边蹦去！ “天真。”
天雷猪冷冷一笑。
下一刻，只见整个大殿的地板全部被抽空了，地板下面是一个深不见底的深渊大坑。
“啊啊啊啊啊……”宋书航惨叫着，从洞中掉了下去。
“啊……总算可以好好的睡一觉了，这一沉定要睡它个三百年啊。” 天雷猪喃喃道，伸手在遥控上再次一按，原本抽空的地面很快恢复过来。
然后，天雷猪眼睛一闭，沉沉的睡了过去。
它身上，雷光啪啪啪的闪烁着。 耀眼的雷光渐渐散去，只见在天雷猪的另一侧身上，有道深可见骨的伤势。 伤口附近有黑色雾气翻腾，让伤口无法愈合。
只是之前的雷光太耀眼，连九灯姑娘都没发现它身上的伤势。
宋书航感觉自己的身体一直在下掉，下掉，似乎这深渊根本没有底一样。
不会这样掉着掉着，一直从‘天界岛’上掉出去吧？ 他心中暗道。
正这么想着的时候，突然，他身体一轻，向上飘浮起来。
脚底下传来了碎石块的触感。
到底了？
这时，边上，传来了发灯姑娘幽幽的声音：“你也被扔下来了啊。”
宋书航转头向声音处望去，黑暗中隐约可见九灯的大光头，她苦恼的盘坐在地面上，一脸郁闷。 “九灯姑娘。”
宋书航看到她后，心里一宽：“我们要怎么出去？”
“等那只肥猪睡够后就会放我们出去了，上次也是这样的。” 九灯姑娘幽幽道，显的很有经验。
宋书航：“话说，刚才那位天雷猪前辈说，这次它要和懒癌拼了，要睡三百年。”
“三百年？ 开什么玩笑！”
九灯姑娘额头的‘怒之青筋’再次暴起：“它还和你说过什么？” 宋书航便将刚才和天雷猪前辈之间的对话转述了一遍。
“可恶，就算要睡三百年，也先将我放出去啊。 这个仇我记下了啊，等我有朝一日晋升到七品尊者境界后，一定要让它一年睡一次，一次睡一年，永远都别想醒来。” 九灯咬牙怒道。
“九灯姑娘，这个洞难道爬不出去吗？” 宋书航疑惑问道。
“洞壁上全都是那只肥猪刻下的禁制，爬不出去的。” 九灯郁闷道：“而且还有强大的禁空阵法，除非拥有七品灵尊的实力，否则就算你有十对翅膀也飞不起来。”
“那这里会不会有隐藏着的出口？” 宋书航思索道。
“我上次掉下来时，将这里每一寸土地都翻了一遍，根本没找到什么暗道。” 九灯姑娘一手托腮，郁闷道。
“那我们怎么出去？ 真要等三百年？”
“放心吧，我这次过来，也是早有准备的。” 九灯姑娘出声道，她指了指自己这件青白色的僧衣：“我之所以过来前要更衣，就是为了应付眼前的这种状况！”
说着，她开始脱去身上的青白僧衣。

Chapter 307: A spirit beast senior with an incurable disease
Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu Its disposition could change at any moment… what it liked and disliked would also change frequently. Moreover, it could assume many different appearances—did it mean that its personality would change according to each transformation?
The confused Song Shuhang stepped on the dock and followed Nine Lanterns, setting out on a big road. After traveling on this road, they arrived in front of a huge palace.
The palace was extremely luxurious and resembled the residence of an immortal. It wasn't something that belonged to the world of mortals.
There were no guards at the entrance.
Therefore, Song Shuhang and Nine Lanterns directly barged in.
After entering the palace, Song Shuhang saw a row of musical instruments on both sides of the hall. There were zithers, pipas, bells… in short, all kinds of ancient musical instruments.
No one was playing these instruments, but their strings were automatically moving and bells were emitting sounds on their own, creating an extremely pleasant music. It was truly a marvelous scene.
In front, there was a big platform, and above this platform were ten layers of thick animal furs; they looked very soft and comfortable.
On top of these furs was lying a shining ball of lightning, perfectly still.
If one were to look carefully, they would notice that the ball of lightning was actually a pig that had curled up into a ball. This one was even rounder and smoother than the one they saw on the parasol tree at the entrance to the valley.
"Tsk. Today, it has the appearance of a pig?" Nine Lanterns muttered.
This form was one of the thirty-six forms that this spirit beast senior could turn into. Moreover, this form was rather troublesome to deal with.
On the platform, the huge pig surround by lightning slowly opened its eyes. After shooting a look at Nine Lanterns and Song Shuhang… it closed its eyes again.
"Senior, I've come to see you!" Nine Lanterns loudly shouted at the spirit beast lying on the platform.
The pig opened its eyes once more. Then, it opened its mouth, but no words came out of it.
Blue veins started to bulge faintly on Nine Lanterns' forehead. She took a deep breath and said, "Senior Lightning Pig, Nine Lanterns has come to see you!"
The huge pig opened its eyes again and looked at Nine Lanterns with great difficulty, uttering a single word, "Oh."
After a while, it moved its body and said, "It's you, Nine Lanterns."
And again after a while, the pig gasped for breath and said, "Nine Lanterns! Don't casually come here to disturb me, alright? You know that I'm very ill…"
The bulging blue veins on Nine Lanterns' forehead doubled in size. "Senior, what illness do you have?"
"I have an incurable illness." The pig gasped for breath. It seemed as though it was about to die after saying just a few sentences.
What kind of disease reduced this powerful spirit beast to this state? Song Shuhang thought to himself.
"What incurable illness is it?" The bulging veins on Nine Lanterns' forehead seemed to have subsided a bit.
"It's cancer." The huge pig bitterly smiled and said, "This disease is really too fearful."
"What nonsense are you babbling about?!" Nine Lanterns howled. "You're a powerful spirit beast that has reached the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm! How can you even get cancer?!"
Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity, "What kind of cancer is it?"
Nine Lanterns rubbed her forehead and joined her palms together, starting to chant buddhist scriptures to calm herself.
The huge pig sighed deeply and said, "It's the sloth cancer, and it's already in the terminal stage, no medicine can help me."
"..." Song Shuhang. "Sloth cancer your a*ss! Moreover, didn't you say the last time that your anus had problems and that you wanted to change your name to Anus Pig—" Nine Lanterns had yet to finish her sentence when a huge hole suddenly appeared beneath her feet, making her fall down.
"Aaaaaaah!" Nine Lanterns screamed in fear, and her voice was getting more and more distant as time passed by.
The hole seemed quite deep. Moreover, it surely had a formation to impede flight as to avoid Nine Lanterns directly flying out of it.
After Nine Lanterns fell inside the pit, one of the slates moved with a clang and covered the hole once more.
After dealing with Nine Lanterns, the Lightning Pig turned its small eyes around and looked at Song Shuhang. "Little kid, who are you?"
"My name is Song Shuhang. Nice to meet you, Senior." Song Shuhang earnestly greeted the pig.
The Lightning Pig used its leg to knock on its head.
After a while, it said curiously, "Do we know each other?"
Song Shuhang shook his head. "Miss Nine Lanterns brought me here, it's my first time meeting you."
"..." Song Shuhang.
Luckily, it opened its eyes again and asked, "Speaking of which, why did that little girl bring you here? What do you need from me?"
"She brought me here because she was hoping to obtain the skeletal dragon's withered vine from you," Song Shuhang replied honestly.
Since he didn't know what kind of disposition this senior had, it was better to tell the truth.
"The skeletal dragon's withered vine? Oh, so it was about the flood dragon skeleton in my possession." The Lightning Pig smiled. Soon after, it waved its leg and said, "Kid, I don't mind giving you the skeletal dragon's withered vine. However, my sloth cancer is flaring up and I need to rest. Can you return another time? The next time you come here, I'll gift you that thing. It's useless to me after all."
"Moreover, please stop staring at me like that. If you keep staring at me, I can't fall asleep," the Lightning Pig said while waving its leg.
Song Shuhang thought a bit and asked, "Senior, you said 'next time' earlier, but how long is that exactly?"
"Hm… around 300 years? This time, I want to slee- ugh! This time, I want to try to overcome this illness with all my strength; I'll surely defeat this sloth cancer!" The Lightning Pig clenched its teeth.
This powerful senior was a rather mischievous creature, and it actually wanted to sleep for 300 years...
But after 300 years, Song Shuhang might be already dead, and Sixteen couldn't wait for so long either!
Therefore, Song Shuhang asked cautiously, "How can I obtain the skeletal dragon's withered vine a little earlier?"
The Lightning Pig opened its eyes faintly and sighed. "By leaving me alone."
Song Shuhang clenched his teeth and said, "I request Senior to instruct, what does that mean?"
"It means literally what it means!" The Lightning Pig sighed with emotion.
Song Shuhang obviously knew the meaning of the pig's words, but he couldn't afford to wait for 300 years. Therefore, he started to stare at it intensely, without even blinking.
In the next instant, the pig stretched its leg and reached out to the remote control once more.
Song Shuhang's scalp went numb, that was the same remote control that had created a huge hole beneath Nine Lanterns' feet, making her fall down. Song Shuhang quickly jumped to a side as to avoid ending up like her!
"Naive." The Lightning Pig smiled coldly.
The floor of the entire hall disappeared, revealing a huge abyss beneath, too deep to see its bottom.
"Aaaaah…" Song Shuhang called out in alarm as he fell into the hole. ❄️❄️❄️
"Ah… now I can finally have a good sleep. This time, I'll surely sleep for 300 years," the Lightning Pig muttered. Afterward, it pressed a few buttons of the on the remote control, restoring the floor of the hall to its previous condition.
Thereafter, it closed its eyes and fell into a deep slumber.
But as the lightning disappeared, the other side of its body became visible. There was deep wound there, so deep even its bone could be seen. Black smoke was coming out of the wound continuously, not allowing it to heal.
The lightning coiling around its body was so dazzling that even Nine Lanterns didn't notice this wound. ❄️❄️❄️
Song Shuhang kept falling and falling, and he felt as though there was no bottom to this hole.
Just as he was in deep thoughts, he felt his body get lighter and float upward.
After floating up for a few centimeters, he slowly fell downward.
Afterward, the sound of crushed stones transmitted from beneath his feet.
Have I reached the bottom?
At this time, Nine Lanterns dim voice reached him from a side. "You were also thrown here, huh?"
Song Shuhang turned his head in the direction of the voice; he could glimpse Nine Lanterns' bare head amidst the darkness. At this time, she was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a depressed expression on her face.
"Miss Nine Lanterns." After seeing that she was also here, Song Shuhang relaxed a bit. "How do we get out of this place?"
"The fat pig will release us once it's done taking a nap. It did the same thing the last time," Nine Lanterns muttered. She seemed rather experienced in this matter.
Song Shuhang said, "Speaking of which, Senior Lightning Pig said it wanted to sleep for 300 years to fight against the sloth cancer."
"300 years? What a joke!" Blue veins started to bulge on Nine Lanterns' forehead. "What did you two talk about?"
Then, Song Shuhang told Nine Lanterns of the contents of the conversation between the Senior Lightning Pig and him.
"Dammit. Even if it wants to sleep for 300 years, it could put us out first! I won't forget about this enmity. Wait till I reach the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm; at the time, I'll put that pig to an eternal slumber so that it wouldn't have to wake up anymore!" Nine Lanterns clenched her teeth in anger.
"Miss Nine Lanterns, can't we climb out of this hole?" Song Shuhang asked, somewhat confused.
"The fat pig engraved restricting formations on all walls, we can't climb our way out," Nine Lanterns said, somewhat depressed. "Moreover, the hole is covered by a powerful formation that forbids flight. Unless you're a Seventh Stage Venerable, you can't fly in this place. Even if you had ten pairs of wings, it would be still useless."
"Then, is there a secret passage somewhere?" Song Shuhang asked after pondering for a moment.
"The last time I fell here, I searched every nook and cranny and couldn't find anything that resembled a secret passage," Nine Lanterns said depressedly as she rested her chin in her hand.
"Then, how do we get out? Do we really have to wait 300 years?"
"Don't worry. Before coming here, I made some preparations," Nine Lanterns said as she pointed at her greenish-white robe. "Earlier, I changed my clothes precisely to deal with such a situation!"
Then, she started to take off her greenish-white robe.
The nearby Song Shuhang hurried to cover his eyes...

Chapter 413 Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal’s Magically Changed Song
Wang Ling suddenly felt like he had unearthed some hidden aspect of Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal.
Wang Ling had always felt that he was the only one with this shortcoming.
But now that he thought about it, Wang Ling recalled that this song Take You on A Journey had been pretty popular recently. The last few days after class, he had seen Super Chen listening to it on a loop with his earphones. The song had even played on the school's weekly Thursday broadcast during the lunch break, and the entire campus had been steeped in the aura of love.
The issue was that Wang Ling had never heard Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal sing before! So when Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal sang off the cuff, it wasn't just Wang Ling, but the rest of the group also froze in front of their screens for three seconds.
After a stunned moment, Dharmaraja directly typed in the group, "Senior Immortal, I haven't heard it yet, but... do you know Gouda Takeshi?" Everyone: "..."
Cailian Zhenren: "Dharmaraja... You better listen to it, that's very rude."
The group sunk into silence for a moment.
Because no one could understand what on earth was up with Senior Immortal today, to be so happy that he couldn't help singing a song.
At that moment, it was Little Silver who was the first to praise him. "Everyone, have a listen. Senior Immortal sings very well!"
Wang Ling clicked open the voice message of Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal singing with a judicious air.
While Little Silver didn't usually listen to human music since he was a holy beast, he still had the ability to discern good from bad.
And in fact, it was indeed as Little Silver had said; Wang Ling thought that unexpectedly, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal actually sang very well!
Not only was he in tune, his singing voice was pretty unique, and completely different to his normal speaking voice; it felt like it was coming from a warmhearted male senior!
Even Loopy Toad was pleasantly surprised. "Looks like Senior Immortal still has other talents!"
When Wang Ling looked at the chat group again, there were already a lot of likes and applause.
Cailian Zhenren was a little excited and sent several thumbs-up in a row. "Senior Immortal really sings well! It's my first time hearing him sing, and even when recorded with a phone it sounds like this... Really amazing!"
Immortal Toya also couldn't help praising it. "He indeed sings very well."
Wang Ling suddenly felt that something wasn't right.
Cailian Zhenren: "Did Senior Immortal sing the lyrics wrong? Why does the chorus sound a little different from what I've heard before? Shouldn't the first line be 'I want to take you to romantic Turkey'?"
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal finally replied, "I didn't sing it wrong, I changed the lyrics; it's a habit of mine when I sing."
Cailian Zhenren replied, "I see, but even when you changed them, it still rhymes; at least, it doesn't sound out of place when I'm listening to it."
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal: "Really? Ha ha ha! I also think I have a gift for writing lyrics!"
When they saw these lyrics, the whole chat group instantly fell into a dead silence.
Wang Ling sucked in a sharp breath. "..." To make the lyrics rhyme... this was too insane!
Loopy Toad raised its dog head. "What's going on?"
Even without looking, Wang Ling knew that Father Wang's old illness must have flared up. Wang Ling could guess what happened from how wretched Father Wang sounded. From this brutal cry of pain... Wang Ling reckoned that Father Wang's hemorrhoids had definitely flared up again.
This was the precious experience Wang Ling had gained after so many years in this villa.
Father Wang had a chronic hemorrhoid problem, which mainly had to do with a lack of exercise and sitting down for too long; it was completely due to unhealthy living habits.
Of course, Wang Ling could in fact cure this type of minor condition...
But no matter what, Father Wang refused to let Wang Ling treat him.
Father Wang felt that it was very shameful to have his son treat his hemorrhoids! As the head of the family, if he couldn't overcome such a minor condition, how could he shoulder his heavy family responsibility?! This was about a man's dignity! A man had to overcome his hemorrhoids himself!
Father Wang's screams continued for more than a minute...
It seemed to be going on for longer than usual this time, so Wang Ling decided to take a look.
Generally, the screaming would have stopped after thirty seconds or so. ...
Mother Wang put the medicine away and couldn't help scolding him. "Your condition is caused by you looking at your phone on the toilet. The next time you go, I'll turn the Internet off!"
"No! I would rather suffer! You can't cut my Internet!" Father Wang was agitated. "The time I spend every morning on the toilet is when I use my side account to fight the trolls!"
"Fine... I won't turn it off. I still have other ways."
Mother Wang couldn't resist laughing. Her smile was a bit sly, and both Wang Ling and Loopy Toad stared blankly at her. Then Mother Wang turned to look at Wang Ling. "Ling Ling, you're just in time. Contact Little Ming later and ask him to send your father's birthday present over in advance."
Wang Ling: "..."
Father Wang: "What? Little Ming prepared a present for me?"
Mother Wang smiled slightly. "Yes, Little Ming made it especially for you!"
Father Wang: "My birthday's still a while away... what's the rush? Then again, what is this present?"
Mother Wang continued smiling. "A smart anti-hemorrhoid thermal toilet."
Father Wang: "..." Wang Ling: "..."
Mother Wang: "The longer you sit on the toilet, the hotter it becomes. Little Ming said that even a Nascent Soul cultivator would have to stand up after less than five minutes."

"value": "Chapter 64\nJust as Greem was feeling proud of Alligator’s strong recovery ability, he suddenly heard strange noises. One after another, frightening misshapen corpses suddenly leapt out from the flames, sprinting their way towards the Demon Alligator while letting out terrifying groans.\nDamn it! There were too many of them!\nMoving as nimbly as squirrels, eleven of the misshapen corpses swarmed up in a fan shaped formation.\nWithout hesitation, Greem quickly activated his bracelet, which unleashed body armor made up entirely of thorny vines. It blinked with a bright green glow as it covered his entire body.\nWhat happened next was a bloody and savage close-range battle between the Demon Alligator Hunter and the group of misshapen corpses.\nAlthough the misshapen corpses appeared to be attacking Demon Alligator, anyone could tell that their actual target was Greem, who was sitting high up on its back. This tactic was the go-to for most apprentices who primarily used summons as weapons when attacking their opponents.\nCompared to the powerful combat strength of a summon who was unafraid of death, the summoner himself had much less defence. Therefore, rather than waste a huge amount of energy trying to defeat the summon, it was easier and far more effective to just defeat the summoner. Thus, after he used his blood essence to create the eleven misshapen corpses and entangled Demon Alligator in the fight, Dark Wood stealthily moved far away to once again start casting the long-range curse spells that he was an expert in.\nWhile controlling Demon Alligator Hunter and trying to deal with the crazy attacks of the misshapen corpses, Greem also needed to focus his mind to defend against the mysterious dark lassoes that Dark Wood kept attacking him with. He was suffering greatly!\nMany of the misshapen corpses in close range of the Demon Alligator were being killed, but the death of each corpse would result in a large explosion, which would destroy a large part of Demon Alligator’s body. After the third corpse exploded, the front of the Demon Alligator, which had looked so strong and mighty before, was in a disastrous state.\nHe couldn’t let this continue!\nA trace of a smile appeared on Greem’s lips, then he quickly put something into his mouth and lightly stomped his feet. The Hunter, who was mounting in front of him and kept throwing dirt spears at the enemy, expanded its body and moved backwards, swallowing Greem’s body into its own.\nIn the next second, like a giant whale, the massive Demon Alligator Hunter sank into the ground and disappeared without a trace. The eight remaining misshapen corpses immediately stormed forward, restlessly digging into the hardened ground, but failed to find anything.\nThe damn kid could actually travel under the ground? This was going to be fun for Dark Wood!\nTo be honest, when Dark Wood saw his opponent and the summoned golem disappear from his line of sight, he was also filled with questions and frustrations.\nDamn it, how was he going to fight this battle? If he couldn’t see his opponent, how was he going to lock down the target with his curse attacks?\nWhile he was looking for a solution, his spiritual senses suddenly discovered something under his feet, bringing a dramatic change to his expression. Without hesitation, he forcefully hit the ground with his staff.\nA huge dirt claw suddenly stretched out from the ground beside Dark Wood. With tremendous force it slapped onto Dark Wood and crushed him into a pile of meat paste. After that, the upper body of Demon Alligator Hunter unearthed itself.\nAlthough it was a successful strike, Greem’s face on the Hunter didn’t show any sign of joy. Instead, he threw his gaze like two lighting beams into the far distance.\nHe saw a misshapen corpse suddenly thrown itself onto the ground, violently twisting and struggling.\nIn just a couple of seconds, Dark Wood had replaced the misshapen corpse and was standing where it had once been.\nThe Hunter’s expression changed slightly and it started to squeeze back into the ground, but it was too late.\nThe pile of meat paste under the Demon Alligator’s giant claw suddenly exploded, staining the exposed body of Demon Alligator Hunter with a large amount of a gray-colored substance. Hearing the sizzling sound of corrosion made Greem’s heart pound.\nThrough the Hunter’s eyes, Greem viciously gazed at Dark Wood, who was standing up again. Without saying anything, he once again sank into the ground. The misshapen corpses who had fast been approaching once again missed their target.\nFuck… staring at the emptied battlefield once again, except for the remaining seven misshapen corpses and the broken ground, there wasn’t any trace of that hateful kid. Dark Wood was furious.\nUnder the command of Dark Wood, the seven misshapen corpses were stationed around his perimeter. With this, not only could he could instantly block that bastard from retreating the next time he tried to attack, the formation also allowed him the flexibility to shift himself to any of the corpses as needed.\nHowever, just as Dark Wood retracted his spiritual senses to the vicinity of his body, quietly observing every slight change under the ground, the ground under the feet of a corpse standing at a far distance suddenly started to boil. Countless dirt spikes poked up through the ground and turned the corpse into shish kabobs.\nOnce again, the misshapen corpse exploded. But this time, the gray substance splashed onto the ground harmlessly. As the attack had been launched from beneath the ground, the Demon Alligator was never exposed.\nDark Wood, standing on the battlefield, together with the audience at the side, gasped in astonishment.\nDamn it, it was hard to tell the outcome of today’s battle!\nIn the next seven or eight minutes, Greem cunningly stopped launching any attacks at Dark Wood. Instead, he kept moving around Dark Wood’s perimeter, finding opportunities to kill the remaining misshapen corpses. Clearly, he wanted to destroy all Dark Wood’s minions.\nIf they were all slaughtered by this kid, how was he going to shift himself to another corpse when he was again faced with danger?\nLeft with no alternative, Dark Wood called all four remaining misshapen corpses to his side, having them surround him in a circle. With this, if Dark Wood was under attack, he could shift himself to another corpse, but he would still be inside the attack radius of his opponent, which significantly increased his risk!\nBut under such circumstances, he had no choice but to take this risk. He was trying his best to lure that bastard from the ground, then he’d seek his winning chance, despite the great danger.\nAt the thought of himself being forced into such a messy state by a Beginner Apprentice, a shivering ghost flame instantly ignited within Dark Wood’s gloomy eyes. He wished he could instantly capture the bastard and torture him good.\nBut too bad, you couldn’t always get what you wished for, as it was Dark Wood himself who was being tortured by this mere Beginner Apprentice.\nIn the second half of the battle, the hateful bastard never showed his face, but instead kept attacking from under the ground using long-range magic spells. Although most of the magic spells were noticed by Dark Wood before they hit him, two misshapen corpses had been miserably killed by the combination of a Quagmire Spell and dirt spikes.\nThe sorrow of getting attacked but failing to catch the enemy was perfectly expressed by Dark Wood.\nAs he witnessed one corpse puppet after another, each meticulously made by him to possess the fighting strength of an Advanced Apprentice, be destroyed by the ‘enemy,’ Dark Wood’s emotions moved from anger to frustration to sadness until he nearly burst into loud sobbing from Greem’s torture.\nWhen Hulk finally shook his head, sighed, and announced the winner, Dark Wood, who had remained standing through will alone, immediately fainted from anger.\nThe crowd gazed at each other helplessly. Although they wished to say a few words to comfort Dark Wood, no one seemed to know how to start.\nWithout the ability to attack underground, no matter who encountered such an enemy, he would land himself in serious trouble. This situation could only be blamed on Dark Wood’s bad luck, as he was picked by Hulk to fight with this freak who had brought him such a miserable ending.\nWearing a gloomy expression, Hulk pulled Kevin in front of himself, asking with a ferociously, “I thought you said he doesn’t have any special abilities? How did we end up with this kind of result? Tell me honestly, if you are fighting with an opponent like this, can you defeat him?”\n“Ugh…” Kevin gulped, then continued, saying, “If it is not a fair match, and the venue is a desolated wood, give me half day and I’ll be able to kill him in the dark. But if we were to fight in an emptied field like this, I… I wouldn’t have a chance of winning, because I can’t cause him any damage.”\nRight at this moment, Greem carefully poked his upper body out from the ground. Once he determined that he had won, he squeezed out from the ground.\nAfter spending so long underground, all the outer wounds of the Demon Alligator had fully recovered and it looked exactly like it did before the fight began. The crowd felt wonder at the sight, but when they recalled the bets they had placed before the fight, no one could maintain a happy face.\nLooking at the young guy striding towards him, Hulk had no choice but to bite the bullet. With a loud voice, he asked, “Mensa, give me the number! I want to know how much we need to pay this guy?”\nMensa wore black clothes and had a noble appearance. Without hesitation, he loudly read out.\n“Mister Greem pledged nine magic crystals, two tier-3 magical items, one tier-4 magical item, one tier-1 magical item, and the magic notebooks of the Demon Vine Lady. Estimated total is 417 Magic Crystals. According to ten to one odds, we need to pay him 4170 Magic Crystals. However, combined, we all only bet 3270 Magic Crystals, so…”\n“So we still owe this guy 900 Magic Crystals!”\n“Yes!”\nThe crowd stared speechlessly at each other, before they couldn’t help it and moved their gazes to Kevin, who had brought this bastard here.\nIn that instant, the generally calm Kevin had a forehead bathed in sweat.\nGreem, who stood beside him, was grinning from ear to ear as he quickly stepped out to ease the situation.\n“It’s good to have the love of all my Senior Apprentices. As you have given me the chance to prove myself, how dare I collect this debt from you! This amount is more than enough. I, Greem am not a greedy man!”\n“Hey, you crafty kid, don’t get carried away. The reason you had such an easy win is because your ability naturally oppressed Dark Wood. We’ll pay those Magic Crystals we owe you, but do you have the guts to fight again with us? A fight between you and me, what do you say?” The man who said this was the violent burly man who Greem had seen carrying a thunderous axe when he had arrived. Obviously, this man had taken the path of a Body-Refining Adept, and used Thunder Element magic spells as his supplement ability.\nGreem grinned, saying, “Why not?! But my golem is damaged from today’s battle. I need time to readjust and fix it. Why don’t we fight tomorrow?”\nHearing this, the violent burly man became extremely happy. The eyes of the surrounding men also brightened. Clearly, they were tempted as well.\nPerhaps imagining some scenes that could vent their anger, all of the apprentices couldn’t hold themselves back and grinned coldly.\nIn that moment, a shivering breeze blew through the scene, making one’s hair stand on end."

第0064章
正当格力姆为着魔鳄猎手的超强恢复力自傲之际，奇怪的异响突然传出。 一头接一头的恐怖拼合尸从火焰之中蹦了出来，嗬嗬怪叫着扑向了魔鳄。
该死，这么多！
11头动作灵活，身形敏捷的拼合尸成扇形围拢了上来。
格力姆二话不说立刻激活了手镯，一个闪烁着碧绿荧光的荆棘护甲开始萦绕在身体之上。
于是接下来，就是一场魔鳄猎手和众多拼合尸血腥惨烈的近身厮杀。
看得出来，这些拼合尸明的攻击目标是身躯庞大的魔鳄，可实际上的真实目标却是高踞魔鳄背脊之上的格力姆。 这其实也是大部分学徒在对付召唤型对手时的必然选择。
所以与其浪费大量精力在召唤物身上，还不如一锤定音搞定召唤师更加容易。 因此舍出血本异化出来11头尸傀儡缠住魔鳄，黑木这才偷偷溜到远处，再次开始了自己最擅长的诅咒攻击。
一边驱使着魔鳄猎手应付着拼合尸的疯狂攻击，格力姆还要屏息凝神，努力应付着黑木不断抛洒过来的神秘黑索。 让他忙碌的也是苦不堪言！
连续不断攻上的拼合尸被魔鳄猎手近距离格杀了不少。 可是每个死亡的拼合尸都会来场大爆，顺带把魔鳄身躯腐蚀掉很大一部分。
这样下去可不行！
格力姆嘿然一笑，迅速的把一物塞入口中，右足轻跺。 一直在其身前不断投掷攻击的土人魔傀立刻身形膨胀后移，把其身躯吞没在自己体内。
下一秒，拥有庞大身躯的魔鳄猎手竟然像鲸鱼一般快速没入脚下泥土之中，消失的无影无踪。 剩余的8头拼合尸大举扑上，拼命的掏挖着坚实的泥土，却没有任何收获。
场边的议论声立刻喧嚣而起。 这个该死的小子竟然还能在地底穿行？
说实话，当黑木看到对手和召唤的土傀儡一起消失在视界中时，他的心也是茫然和狂躁的。
该死的，这还怎么打？ 如果看不到对手，自己的诅咒攻击还如何锁定？
正在迟疑间，他外扩的精神感知隐约在地底发现了什么，脸色剧变之下，猛地重重一顿手中的长杖。
一个泥土组成的粗壮巨爪突然从黑木身侧的地面中探出，带着凶猛的厉风一掌将其拍成了稀烂的肉酱。 而这个时候土人猎手的上半身才从泥土中露出半截。
明明攻击成功了，可是幻化成格力姆模样的土人却没有丝毫喜色，反而电目如射，遥遥看向了远处。
在那里，一个拼合尸突然匍匐在地面疯狂的扭动挣扎。
才只两三秒过后，扭曲变化而出的黑木就取代了拼合尸的位置。
土人脸色微变，这就想重新钻回地下，可是为时已晚。
被魔鳄巨爪拍成肉酱的残尸嘭的一声爆开，大片的灰色把魔鳄猎手外露的身躯都染了一遍。 呲呲的诡异腐蚀声令人心头狂跳。
格力姆的眼睛透过土人的双瞳向重新站立起来的黑木投去凶狠的一瞥，不言声的就再次沉入了地底。 这让几个疾奔而来的拼合尸扑了一个空。
草……看着再次空荡荡的战场，除了7头自己召唤出来的拼合尸和狼藉破损的地面，根本看不到那个可恶小子的半丝身影。
黑木心里的狂怒和愤恨简直无以复加。 7头拼合尸在黑木的指挥下散布到了周边。 这样既可以在那个混蛋出手攻击自己的瞬间就卡住他的退路，也能给自己尸傀转换提供更多更灵活的保障。
然而就在黑木把精神力收束在自己身躯附近，默默感应着地底的每一丝变化之时，远处一个拼合尸脚下的泥土突然沸腾起来，然后一根根拔地而起的地矛刺生生把其穿成了肉串。 嘭。
死亡的拼合尸再次自爆了。 可是这次大面积爆开的灰色洒落在地面上，却没有伤到对方分毫。 因为对方的攻击是在地底完成的，根本就没有露面。
场中的黑木以及场边的众人都不由得倒吸一口冷气。
该死，今天这场战斗要悬！
后面的半刻钟时间里，那个狡猾的格力姆竟然不再主动对黑木发动攻击，反而在外围不断的游走，择机就绞杀一头拼合尸，一副要把其小弟剪除干净的架势。
这要都被对方绞杀干净，一会再遇到危险自己还咋用尸傀转换？
迫不得已，黑木只能把剩下的4头拼合尸召唤回身侧，把自己团团围住。 不过这样一来，如果黑木的本体遭到攻击，即便用尸傀转换逃过一劫，逃脱的本体依然在对方的攻击范围之内，危险性大增！
不过在现在这种情况下，他也只能行险一搏，努力把那个可恶的混蛋诱出地面，然后险中求胜了。
一想到自己竟然被一个初级学徒逼迫的如此狼狈，黑木阴森双瞳中就忍不住燃起一簇幽冷的鬼火，恨不得立刻把那个混蛋抓在手中好好足柔躏肆虐一番。
可惜，天不遂人愿，现在被吊打的显然是他黑木！
在后面的半程里，那个可恶的混蛋竟然再不露面，而是频繁的使用远程巫术从地底对他发动攻击。 虽然大部分巫术在临身之前都被他及时察觉了，可是依然有两个拼合尸悲催的死在了泥沼术和地矛刺的配合之下。
这种干挨打却抓不住敌人的悲哀被黑木演绎的淋漓尽致。
看着一个个精心泡制出来，个个都不弱于普通高级学徒实力的尸傀儡被“敌人”一一诛除，黑木由怒转气，由气转悲，差点被格力姆折磨的放声大哭起来。
等到光头阿福摇头叹息着宣布胜负已分，那个黑木僵立在原地竟然生生被气晕了过去。
围观的众人你看看我，我看看你，都是面面相觑。 即便想安慰那个倒霉的黑木都不知道该如何开口。
如果没有攻击地面下敌人的手段，在场的众人不管是谁遇到这样的对手，恐怕都要吃不了兜着走。 怪只怪那个黑木太倒霉，竟然被阿福挑出来和这样的怪胎对战，难怪要落个黯然收场的结局。
面色阴沉的光头阿福一把把凯文揪在身前，恶狠狠的逼问道。 “你不是说他的能力并不算多奇特吗？
“呃……”黑手凯文艰难的吞咽了一口口水：“如果不是公平对战，放在荒野山林之中，给我半天时间，我一定会让他死的不明不白。 可要是在这种空无一物的场地里对战，我……我也是有败无胜，根本奈何不了他分毫。”
而在这个时候，那个格力姆这才小心翼翼的从地底探出了半个身子，等确定自己获胜后，方才洋洋得意的钻了出来。
在地底待了这么长时间，魔鳄先前所受到的外表损伤都已修复完毕，完全和开战之初并无二致，因此愈发令众人啧啧称奇。 不过一想到战前自己等人压上去的赌注，场内众人就没有一个好脸色。
看着大步流星走到自己身前的年轻小子，光头阿福只能厮摩着自己光光的头颅，大声的询问道：“门萨，统计一下吧！ 看看我们需要赔付多少？”
黑色玄衣打扮，颇有一些贵族气质的门萨倒是毫不隐讳，大声的宣布了出来。
“格力姆阁下提交的抵押物包含了9枚魔晶，2件3级物品，1件4级物品，1件1级物品，以及魔藤女的巫术笔记，初步估价为417魔晶。 根据赌斗10:1的赔率，我们共需赔付4170魔晶。
“所以我们还欠这个小子900魔晶！”
“是！”
众人面面相觑，不由得都把目光投向了带着这个混蛋小子前来的凯文。
几乎瞬息间，一向从容冷静的黑手凯文额头也开始隐隐冒汗。
旁边已经笑得合不拢嘴的格力姆赶忙跑出来打圆场。
“难得各位学长大人抬爱，给了我这么一个展示的机会，哪能再向各位追债呢！ 就这些已经足够了，我格力姆可从来不是贪得无厌之辈！”
“嘿，那个狡诈的小子，你也不要得意。 你能赢得如此轻松，实在是你的能力太过克制黑木那家伙。 欠你的魔晶，我们一定补上，可是你敢不敢再和我们赌斗一场，就赌你和我，如何？”
格力姆阴阴一笑：“有何不敢！ 不过今天我的召唤傀儡有所损伤，需要修复调整一二。 这场赌斗放到明天如何？”
闻言，狂暴巨汉大喜，就连身周围拢的众人也双目放光，显然大为心动。
也许是想到了某些令他们逞心如意的画面，众位学徒都忍不住阴阴冷笑起来。
一时间，场内阴风刮面，寒意袭人。

Chapter 64
Just as Greem was feeling proud of Alligator’s strong recovery ability, he suddenly heard strange noises. One after another, frightening misshapen corpses suddenly leapt out from the flames, sprinting their way towards the Demon Alligator while letting out terrifying groans.
Damn it! There were too many of them!
Moving as nimbly as squirrels, eleven of the misshapen corpses swarmed up in a fan shaped formation.
Without hesitation, Greem quickly activated his bracelet, which unleashed body armor made up entirely of thorny vines. It blinked with a bright green glow as it covered his entire body.
What happened next was a bloody and savage close-range battle between the Demon Alligator Hunter and the group of misshapen corpses.
Although the misshapen corpses appeared to be attacking Demon Alligator, anyone could tell that their actual target was Greem, who was sitting high up on its back. This tactic was the go-to for most apprentices who primarily used summons as weapons when attacking their opponents.
Compared to the powerful combat strength of a summon who was unafraid of death, the summoner himself had much less defence. Therefore, rather than waste a huge amount of energy trying to defeat the summon, it was easier and far more effective to just defeat the summoner. Thus, after he used his blood essence to create the eleven misshapen corpses and entangled Demon Alligator in the fight, Dark Wood stealthily moved far away to once again start casting the long-range curse spells that he was an expert in.
While controlling Demon Alligator Hunter and trying to deal with the crazy attacks of the misshapen corpses, Greem also needed to focus his mind to defend against the mysterious dark lassoes that Dark Wood kept attacking him with. He was suffering greatly!
Many of the misshapen corpses in close range of the Demon Alligator were being killed, but the death of each corpse would result in a large explosion, which would destroy a large part of Demon Alligator’s body. After the third corpse exploded, the front of the Demon Alligator, which had looked so strong and mighty before, was in a disastrous state.
He couldn’t let this continue!
A trace of a smile appeared on Greem’s lips, then he quickly put something into his mouth and lightly stomped his feet. The Hunter, who was mounting in front of him and kept throwing dirt spears at the enemy, expanded its body and moved backwards, swallowing Greem’s body into its own.
In the next second, like a giant whale, the massive Demon Alligator Hunter sank into the ground and disappeared without a trace. The eight remaining misshapen corpses immediately stormed forward, restlessly digging into the hardened ground, but failed to find anything.
The damn kid could actually travel under the ground? This was going to be fun for Dark Wood!
To be honest, when Dark Wood saw his opponent and the summoned golem disappear from his line of sight, he was also filled with questions and frustrations.
Damn it, how was he going to fight this battle? If he couldn’t see his opponent, how was he going to lock down the target with his curse attacks?
While he was looking for a solution, his spiritual senses suddenly discovered something under his feet, bringing a dramatic change to his expression. Without hesitation, he forcefully hit the ground with his staff.
A huge dirt claw suddenly stretched out from the ground beside Dark Wood. With tremendous force it slapped onto Dark Wood and crushed him into a pile of meat paste. After that, the upper body of Demon Alligator Hunter unearthed itself.
Although it was a successful strike, Greem’s face on the Hunter didn’t show any sign of joy. Instead, he threw his gaze like two lighting beams into the far distance.
He saw a misshapen corpse suddenly thrown itself onto the ground, violently twisting and struggling.
In just a couple of seconds, Dark Wood had replaced the misshapen corpse and was standing where it had once been.
The Hunter’s expression changed slightly and it started to squeeze back into the ground, but it was too late.
The pile of meat paste under the Demon Alligator’s giant claw suddenly exploded, staining the exposed body of Demon Alligator Hunter with a large amount of a gray-colored substance. Hearing the sizzling sound of corrosion made Greem’s heart pound.
Through the Hunter’s eyes, Greem viciously gazed at Dark Wood, who was standing up again. Without saying anything, he once again sank into the ground. The misshapen corpses who had fast been approaching once again missed their target.
Fuck… staring at the emptied battlefield once again, except for the remaining seven misshapen corpses and the broken ground, there wasn’t any trace of that hateful kid. Dark Wood was furious.
Under the command of Dark Wood, the seven misshapen corpses were stationed around his perimeter. With this, not only could he could instantly block that bastard from retreating the next time he tried to attack, the formation also allowed him the flexibility to shift himself to any of the corpses as needed.
However, just as Dark Wood retracted his spiritual senses to the vicinity of his body, quietly observing every slight change under the ground, the ground under the feet of a corpse standing at a far distance suddenly started to boil. Countless dirt spikes poked up through the ground and turned the corpse into shish kabobs.
Once again, the misshapen corpse exploded. But this time, the gray substance splashed onto the ground harmlessly. As the attack had been launched from beneath the ground, the Demon Alligator was never exposed.
Dark Wood, standing on the battlefield, together with the audience at the side, gasped in astonishment.
Damn it, it was hard to tell the outcome of today’s battle!
In the next seven or eight minutes, Greem cunningly stopped launching any attacks at Dark Wood. Instead, he kept moving around Dark Wood’s perimeter, finding opportunities to kill the remaining misshapen corpses. Clearly, he wanted to destroy all Dark Wood’s minions.
If they were all slaughtered by this kid, how was he going to shift himself to another corpse when he was again faced with danger?
Left with no alternative, Dark Wood called all four remaining misshapen corpses to his side, having them surround him in a circle. With this, if Dark Wood was under attack, he could shift himself to another corpse, but he would still be inside the attack radius of his opponent, which significantly increased his risk!
But under such circumstances, he had no choice but to take this risk. He was trying his best to lure that bastard from the ground, then he’d seek his winning chance, despite the great danger.
At the thought of himself being forced into such a messy state by a Beginner Apprentice, a shivering ghost flame instantly ignited within Dark Wood’s gloomy eyes. He wished he could instantly capture the bastard and torture him good.
But too bad, you couldn’t always get what you wished for, as it was Dark Wood himself who was being tortured by this mere Beginner Apprentice.
In the second half of the battle, the hateful bastard never showed his face, but instead kept attacking from under the ground using long-range magic spells. Although most of the magic spells were noticed by Dark Wood before they hit him, two misshapen corpses had been miserably killed by the combination of a Quagmire Spell and dirt spikes.
The sorrow of getting attacked but failing to catch the enemy was perfectly expressed by Dark Wood.
As he witnessed one corpse puppet after another, each meticulously made by him to possess the fighting strength of an Advanced Apprentice, be destroyed by the ‘enemy,’ Dark Wood’s emotions moved from anger to frustration to sadness until he nearly burst into loud sobbing from Greem’s torture.
When Hulk finally shook his head, sighed, and announced the winner, Dark Wood, who had remained standing through will alone, immediately fainted from anger.
The crowd gazed at each other helplessly. Although they wished to say a few words to comfort Dark Wood, no one seemed to know how to start.
Without the ability to attack underground, no matter who encountered such an enemy, he would land himself in serious trouble. This situation could only be blamed on Dark Wood’s bad luck, as he was picked by Hulk to fight with this freak who had brought him such a miserable ending.
Wearing a gloomy expression, Hulk pulled Kevin in front of himself, asking with a ferociously, “I thought you said he doesn’t have any special abilities? How did we end up with this kind of result? Tell me honestly, if you are fighting with an opponent like this, can you defeat him?”
“Ugh…” Kevin gulped, then continued, saying, “If it is not a fair match, and the venue is a desolated wood, give me half day and I’ll be able to kill him in the dark. But if we were to fight in an emptied field like this, I… I wouldn’t have a chance of winning, because I can’t cause him any damage.”
Right at this moment, Greem carefully poked his upper body out from the ground. Once he determined that he had won, he squeezed out from the ground.
After spending so long underground, all the outer wounds of the Demon Alligator had fully recovered and it looked exactly like it did before the fight began. The crowd felt wonder at the sight, but when they recalled the bets they had placed before the fight, no one could maintain a happy face.
Looking at the young guy striding towards him, Hulk had no choice but to bite the bullet. With a loud voice, he asked, “Mensa, give me the number! I want to know how much we need to pay this guy?”
Mensa wore black clothes and had a noble appearance. Without hesitation, he loudly read out.
“Mister Greem pledged nine magic crystals, two tier-3 magical items, one tier-4 magical item, one tier-1 magical item, and the magic notebooks of the Demon Vine Lady. Estimated total is 417 Magic Crystals. According to ten to one odds, we need to pay him 4170 Magic Crystals. However, combined, we all only bet 3270 Magic Crystals, so…”
“So we still owe this guy 900 Magic Crystals!”
“Yes!”
The crowd stared speechlessly at each other, before they couldn’t help it and moved their gazes to Kevin, who had brought this bastard here.
In that instant, the generally calm Kevin had a forehead bathed in sweat.
Greem, who stood beside him, was grinning from ear to ear as he quickly stepped out to ease the situation.
“It’s good to have the love of all my Senior Apprentices. As you have given me the chance to prove myself, how dare I collect this debt from you! This amount is more than enough. I, Greem am not a greedy man!”
“Hey, you crafty kid, don’t get carried away. The reason you had such an easy win is because your ability naturally oppressed Dark Wood. We’ll pay those Magic Crystals we owe you, but do you have the guts to fight again with us? A fight between you and me, what do you say?” The man who said this was the violent burly man who Greem had seen carrying a thunderous axe when he had arrived. Obviously, this man had taken the path of a Body-Refining Adept, and used Thunder Element magic spells as his supplement ability.
Greem grinned, saying, “Why not?! But my golem is damaged from today’s battle. I need time to readjust and fix it. Why don’t we fight tomorrow?”
Hearing this, the violent burly man became extremely happy. The eyes of the surrounding men also brightened. Clearly, they were tempted as well.
Perhaps imagining some scenes that could vent their anger, all of the apprentices couldn’t hold themselves back and grinned coldly.
In that moment, a shivering breeze blew through the scene, making one’s hair stand on end.

"value": "There were all many tidily-dressed men and women waiting inside the mansion.\nAfter that, they were arranged rooms, and chose their style of entertainment. By style of entertainment, they meant the surroundings required to satisfy any guest.\nIf you liked food, for example, they would bring you into an environment made of high-quality low-radiation food. The room was made of chocolate, the bed made of milk candy, and all the plants in the garden were sweet fruits, whereas the swimming pool was filled with milk.\nIf you liked pretty women, they would also take you to a special place, where all the pretty women around you were naked, and there were sex toys everywhere, so you could just grab a woman whenever and play with them however you liked.\nIf you were gay, then there were all the best men for you to choose, beautiful ones, handsome ones, strong ones, cool ones, dressed in all sorts of uniforms to seduce you.\nIn this mansion, whatever you wanted, other than the luxurious Level One food and drinks, everything else you desired could be fulfilled whenever. Even if you liked killing, they would arrange people for you to kill, one after the other, in however many ways you wanted.\nThis, was the Paradise Mansion, the meat people mansion in mountains!\n“Everyone here is a meat person?” Garen walked at the very end of the line, observing the many people lined up in two rows, welcoming him in. There were men and women, young and old, but they all had one thing in common—their eyes were lifeless and dim, only a very few just barely had a hint of consciousness, but the rest had stiff robotic movements.\n“Seriously…” Garen shook his head, he had learned even more about the cruelty of the radiation belt.\nIn the hall, Vendant very wisely retreated, leaving Anda, Linda, and Graen standing in front of the choice pillars in the main hall.\n“You can choose your style of entertainment here, if they don’t have it, you can describe what you want yourself, and enter it using Willpower. If there aren’t any conflicts with the main system, you can make new entertainment areas to your own liking,” Anda introduced. “I’ve played here a few times, it’s really not bad. Too bad the highest-grade anti-radiation medicine only comes in small shippings for the peak-level people every year, because if you can take off your hazmat suit here to play, that would truly be paradise.”\nAnda was evidently a lot more relaxed than before, he looked at Garen.\n“This is your first time, Garen, so play to your heart’s content. When you choose an area here, no one can enter without your permission, so you can fulfill any dark thoughts or fetishes here, hehe…”\n“Boring,” Garen replied calmly, and glanced casually at the choices there.\nKilling, pretty women, pretty men, gourmet food, dog pen, theme park, torture…\nThere was a long list of entertainment modes, it even covered the whole side of the pillar. There was even a second page, he gave it a glance, and saw at least a hundred options there. There were even categories.\n“You have to choose one, this is the Paradise Mansion, if you don’t choose any entertainment, when word gets out, no one will believe you’re straight,” Anda approached Garen and said with a dark smile.\nThis made Garen, who was going to choose the quiet option, roll his eyes. His finger moved and landed on a random choice, he was too lazy to even look at it. Other than the violent ones, there were even many written in strange symbols he could not understand, and the mode he chose was one of these strangely-coded ones.\n“Let’s go.” Garen saw the pillar indicate where he needed to go, and in the midst of Anda’s dark laughter, and Linda’s helpless gaze, he led Little Bitch and strode into a small door that had automatically opened on the left.\nAnda carefully chose an option on the stone pillar, and also walked into a small door, hugging the blonde girl.\nOnly Linda was left, but her gaze flashed a little. She did not pick any option, but instead walked out of the hall, and raised her watch outside the door to project a virtual keyboard. After tapping out a simple code to spell out a secret message, and delivering the mail, she finally returned to the pillar and picked the quiet option, leading the pretty boy into a small door.\nAt the peak of the tallest mountain tree in town, there was a huge empty hall. At the very top of the large empty black space, there was a huge throne, and a huge bald fat man, seven or eight meters wide, five or six meters tall, lay there.\nThe fatty was covered in fatty flesh, his layers of flesh falling downwards due to gravity, and piling on top of the flesh underneath that, forming folds like a thousand-layer crepe. From afar, he looked like a large pile of white flesh made into a mountain.\nThe fatty’s two triangular eyes kept blinking, and he bit a long black pipe, half a meter long. in his mouth. There were two naked voluptuous women by his side, constantly massaging his body and head.\n“The ones who had come this time are Blackboard Academy’s Inner Courtyard elites, you must be extra, extra careful with how you greet them,” the fatty instructed lazily, looking at Vendant who was kneeling on the floor beneath him.\n“I greeted the three lords with the First-Grade rules, please do not worry, City Master,” replied Vendant loudly, his head lowered.\n“That’s good.” The City Master nodded, but his chin was too fat, so the action was not very noticeable. “Pay attention, and see if you can get some techniques regarding Repair Troughs from them. Our own Repair Troughs still lack too many critical techniques, if we can complete it quickly, we can also quickly form the Poison People Division.”\n“Also, don’t let the other City Masters know that the three lords are here.”\n“Yes.” Vendant got up and was about to leave, but suddenly he touched his earpiece, where his subordinate’s report was coming in.\nHe frowned slightly.\n“There’s one more thing, Lord City Master.”\n“What is it? Speak,” the fat City Master said calmly, puffing from the pipe.\n“One of the three lords wants to borrow our military strength to go out and find some people.” Vendant paused. “It is that new lord, codenamed Garen, it should be his first time in the radiation belt.”\n“Oh? It’s the easiest to get good things out of new lords like that… Not bad, not bad, fulfill his desires. Since he’s looking for people, send the best Panther Squad out, and have them obey his every word.” The City Master waved his hand generously.\n“Yes, I will give them the order to mobilize now,” replied Vendant respectfully.\nNeither of them noticed that a pitch-black insect was blinking its compound eyes in a dark corner of the hall. Its entire body was made completely out of cold mechanics. Through some invisible waves, the voices here were transmitted to a faraway distance.\nInside the Blackboard Region, in a certain private estate in Blackboard City.\nFila strode towards the second floor of the mansion, his expression dark, and saw a carefree young man watching the TV projected onto the wall, holding a remote control. Behind him, there was a pretty girl carefully fanning him.\nThat bastard, there was automatic air-conditioning right there, but he just refused to turn it on.\nFila cursed him inwardly.\n“Where’s Big Bro?” he asked the young man quietly.\n“I don’t know… Five, why do you look so unfortunate? You look like a dead dog, y’know~~” The young man made no attempt to hide his jest.\nIf it weren’t that he could not beat this son of a… Fila felt as though the veins in his forehead were going to pop.\n“It was just an accident.” Suddenly something occurred to him, and he tried his best to reply in a nondescript manner.\n“Accident?”\nThe young man looked just like those regular hooligans on the street, his short hair dyed blonde, and he even left a small lock of white hair hanging over the left side of his forehead, all curled up, as though he thought he looked handsome and flirtatious. His white lounge clothes did not match his dark skin, the clothes themselves were luxury items worth more than ten thousand, but when he wore them, he looked like a backwater bumpkin lord.\n“Yes, an accident.” Fila acted as though he did not want to talk about it.\n“Interesting.” The young man lifted his watch and checked it quickly. When he saw the process, he was instantly even more interested. “You were beaten up that badly by a newbie?” He smiled, completely hooked. “Interesting, how very interesting!”\n“What’s it to do with you?! I’ll deal with it myself, I’m warning you, Ice Dragon, I’ll deal with my own matters! If you dare to interfere, I won’t consider you my brother!” said Fila coldly.\n“Five, that’s where you’re wrong…” The young man called Ice Dragon stood up. “You’re all alone, and you only got a few kitties under you. If you don’t come to me, your big bro, when stuff like this happens, people will say that my little brother doesn’t come to me even when he’s in trouble, and then how will I face the world?!” he said loudly, patting his chest. “Relax, and leave this to me! I’ll deal with that punk for you directly!”\n“It’s my own–” Fila acted unhappy, but before he could even finish his sentence, he was suddenly pressed down by a heavy pressure. For a second there he was completely shocked, and could not say a thing.\nThis guy got even stronger…!\nIce Dragon’s hands pressed down on Fila’s shoulders, as he was all smiles.\n“We’re brothers, and you still act so distant…” All of a sudden, his expression instantly became icy cold. “Are you really trying to make me lose face…!” Hints of cold killing intent emanated from him, keeping Fila locked down tight.\nThis madman!\nFila’s heart grew cold, and he no longer dared to provoke this person, so he forced out a smile.\n“That’s best.” Ice Dragon smiled again. “Recently Big Bro’s men are starting to leave some hints, everything goes according to plan. In just two more months, we can probably successfully obtain that person’s information.”\n“So fast!” Fila’s expression changed slightly.\n“Get ready, then… Three Marshals and One Star or whatnot, I’ve wanted to meet them for some time now…” Deep-seated killing intent flashed through Ice Dragon’s eyes. “But before that, I’ll go settle the kid that bullied my brother, that’ll be my appetizer…”"

庄园内已经有很多衣着整洁的男女在等待了。
然后就是安排房间，选择娱乐风格，所谓娱乐风格，就是满足客人的任何需求的环境。
比如你喜欢美食，那么会带你进入大量的高级低辐射度的食物美食制造成的特殊环境，房子是巧克力做的，床是奶糖做的，花园的植物全是甘甜的各类水果，游泳池里全部是牛奶。
如果你喜欢美女，那么会带你去同样的特殊环境，所有你周围的漂亮女人都是不穿衣服的，到处可见用来淫乐的工具，随时可以抓住一个女人就随意玩弄。
如果你喜欢搞基，各种优秀男人随你挑选，美男，帅哥，强壮，冷酷，还有各种制服诱惑。
在这个庄园里，只要你想要，除了奢侈的一级饮食外，其他你的一切享受愿望都能够被随时满足。 就算是杀人，也会安排着人手让你一个个的轮着杀，换着花样的杀。
这里，就是被成为极乐庄园的肉人山庄！
“这里所有人都是肉人？” 加隆走在队伍的最后，打量着两排欢迎自己等人的大量衣着干净人手，有男有女，有老有少，但他们都有着一个共同点，那就是两眼无神，黯淡无光，只有很少的一些勉强有着一点自主意识，其他的都是和机器人一样动作僵硬。
“真是”加隆摇摇头，对辐射带的残酷又有了新的一层认识。
在大厅内，温带奴识相的自己退下了，只留下安达琳达加隆三人站在大厅的选择石柱前。
安达介绍道，“我在这里玩过几次。 很不错。
安达心情显然放松了许多，他看向加隆。
“加隆你是第一次来。
“无聊。” 加隆淡淡应了句，随意扫了眼上边的选择。
杀人，美女，美男，美食，犬舍。
一种种的各种娱乐模式密密麻麻。 居然排满了整个面前石柱的一整面，下面还有翻页的，粗略扫一眼，起码有上百种。 还有分类选择。
“必须选择一种哦，这里是极乐山庄，你要是不选娱乐，估计传出去没人会认为你喜欢女人。” 安达凑过来小声对加隆阴笑。
这让正准备选择安静模式的加隆翻了翻白眼，手指一动，顿时随意落在了另外一个选择上，他自己都懒得看，除开几个暴虐的选择外，其他一大堆的甚至还有看不懂的符号代替，他自己随意按的就是个符号代替的模式。 “走吧。”
加隆顿时看到石柱上显示出他需要前往的方向，在安达的阴笑声中，琳达无奈的目光中，他带着小母狗大步走进左侧的一个自动打开的小门通道。
安达在石柱上仔细选择了一项，也搂着金发女孩进了一扇小门。
最后只剩下琳达，她却目光微闪，没有选择任何选项，而是走出大厅，在门外抬起腕表放出虚拟键盘，简短的敲击出一连串的代码，也不知道是什么样的加密信息，传完信息后，她才回到石柱前，选择了安静选项，带着那个俊秀男孩进了小门。
城内最高的一座石头山峰树顶端，石头树顶内部是一个巨大的空腔大厅，里面黑色空旷的最上方，有着一座高大宝座，上边躺着一个体宽七八米，身高五六米的巨大光头胖子。
胖子满身肥肉，一层层的肉不断因为重力往下掉，堆积在下面一层肉上，形成类似千层饼的褶皱结构，远远看去，就像一坨巨大的白白胖胖肉山。
胖子两只三角眼不断眨巴着，嘴里咬着一根半米长的黑烟斗，身后还站在两个赤身**的漂亮丰满女人，正在不断为他按摩着身体和头部。
“这次来的是黑盘学院的内院精锐，记得一切招待都要小心小心再小心。” 胖子看着下方跪倒在地的温带奴，懒洋洋的吩咐道。
“属下是以第一级的规格招待三位大人的，请城主大人放心。” 温带奴低头大声回答。
城主点点头，但过于肥大的下巴根本看不出明显的点头动作。 “你注意看看，能不能从他们手上拿到一些关于培养修复槽的技术，我们自己的修复槽还缺少很多关键技术，如果能够完成，毒人部队也能快速成型。”
“另外，不要让其他几个城主发现三个大人在我们这里。”
温带奴正要起身离开，却突然动了动耳朵边戴着的耳麦，里面传出手下的汇报声。
他眉头微微皱起来。
“还有一件事，城主大人。”
“什么事，你说。” 肥城主吸了口烟斗平静道。
们的军队力量，外出查找几个人。” 温带奴顿了顿，“是哪位化名为加隆的新大人，应该是第一次来辐射带。”
“哦？ 这样的新大人最容易从他手上得到好东西不错不错，满足他的要求，既然是找人，让最精锐的猎豹部队过去，全部听从他的安排。” 城主很大气的一摆手。
“是，我这就去转达凋令。” 温带奴恭敬回答。
两人都没有察觉到，在大厅边缘的阴影中，一点漆黑的小虫子正闪烁着狰狞的复眼，身体居然完全是由冰冷的机械构成。 这里的声音随着一种无形的波动远远传递到了遥远的方向。
黑盘域内，黑盘城某栋私人庄园中。
斐拉面色沉着的大步走进庄园二楼，看到里面一个悠闲的青年正拿着遥控板看着巨大的墙壁投影电视。 身后一个漂亮女孩正在小心的给她扇着风。
这骚包货，明明有自动换气系统不开。 斐拉暗骂一句。
“大哥呢？”
他看向青年低声问道。
“不知道老五你怎么一脸倒霉相，看起来好像一条死狗哦~~~”青年毫不掩饰自己的嘲笑。
要不是打不过这货斐拉感觉自己额头青筋都要胀爆了。
“出了点意外而已。” 他忽然心头一动，尽可能的轻描淡写回答。
“意外？”
青年看起来就和那些街上的普通混混青年没什么区别，染成一头黄色的短发，额头还留着一小撮白头发出来，从左侧吊下来，编成卷曲丝状，一副自以为很潇洒风流倜傥的样子。 一身白色休闲服明显和他黝黑的皮肤不搭调，明明是价值过万的豪华服装，却被他穿成一脸乡下土地主的窘样。
“是，意外。” 斐拉做出一副不想多说的表情。
“有意思。” 青年抬起腕表迅速查了下，一看过程，顿时更感兴趣了。 “你小子居然被一个新人揍得这么惨？”
！ 我自己会处理，我警告你冰龙，我自己的事我自己会处理！ 你要是敢管闲事别怪我不把你当兄弟！”
斐拉冷冰冰道。 “老五，这就是你的不对了”被叫做冰龙的青年站起身，“你孤家寡人一个，手底下也就大猫小猫三两只，遇到麻烦不找我这个当哥的，这让我出去和别人说我弟弟被欺负了都不来找我，我会有面子？ ！”
“我自己的事”斐拉做出不岔状，话没说完，却陡然被一股庞大沉重的压力狠狠压住，一时间心头一震，居然连话都说不出来。
这家伙的实力又强了！
冰龙双手按在斐拉肩膀上，一脸笑容。
“你我兄弟，还说这些客气的话”陡然他的脸色瞬间冰冷，“是不是真的想让我没面子啊！” 一丝丝冰冷的杀意波动从他身上散发出来，死死禁锢住斐拉。
这个疯子！
斐拉心头发冷，再也不敢刺激这家伙，勉强挤出一丝笑容。
“不是最好。” 冰龙再度回复笑容，“最近大哥的人已经在悄悄渗透了，按照计划进行，只要两个月的时间，应该能够顺利弄到那个的资料。”
“这么快！” 斐拉脸色微变。
“准备准备吧三元一星什么的，早就想好好会会了”冰龙眼中闪过一丝深沉的杀意。

If you liked food, for example, they would bring you into an environment made of high-quality low-radiation food. The room was made of chocolate, the bed made of milk candy, and all the plants in the garden were sweet fruits, whereas the swimming pool was filled with milk.
If you liked pretty women, they would also take you to a special place, where all the pretty women around you were naked, and there were sex toys everywhere, so you could just grab a woman whenever and play with them however you liked.
If you were gay, then there were all the best men for you to choose, beautiful ones, handsome ones, strong ones, cool ones, dressed in all sorts of uniforms to seduce you.
In this mansion, whatever you wanted, other than the luxurious Level One food and drinks, everything else you desired could be fulfilled whenever. Even if you liked killing, they would arrange people for you to kill, one after the other, in however many ways you wanted.
This, was the Paradise Mansion, the meat people mansion in mountains!
“Everyone here is a meat person?” Garen walked at the very end of the line, observing the many people lined up in two rows, welcoming him in. There were men and women, young and old, but they all had one thing in common—their eyes were lifeless and dim, only a very few just barely had a hint of consciousness, but the rest had stiff robotic movements.
“Seriously…” Garen shook his head, he had learned even more about the cruelty of the radiation belt.
In the hall, Vendant very wisely retreated, leaving Anda, Linda, and Graen standing in front of the choice pillars in the main hall.
“You can choose your style of entertainment here, if they don’t have it, you can describe what you want yourself, and enter it using Willpower. If there aren’t any conflicts with the main system, you can make new entertainment areas to your own liking,” Anda introduced. “I’ve played here a few times, it’s really not bad. Too bad the highest-grade anti-radiation medicine only comes in small shippings for the peak-level people every year, because if you can take off your hazmat suit here to play, that would truly be paradise.”
Anda was evidently a lot more relaxed than before, he looked at Garen.
“This is your first time, Garen, so play to your heart’s content. When you choose an area here, no one can enter without your permission, so you can fulfill any dark thoughts or fetishes here, hehe…”
“Boring,” Garen replied calmly, and glanced casually at the choices there.
Killing, pretty women, pretty men, gourmet food, dog pen, theme park, torture…
There was a long list of entertainment modes, it even covered the whole side of the pillar. There was even a second page, he gave it a glance, and saw at least a hundred options there. There were even categories.
“You have to choose one, this is the Paradise Mansion, if you don’t choose any entertainment, when word gets out, no one will believe you’re straight,” Anda approached Garen and said with a dark smile.
This made Garen, who was going to choose the quiet option, roll his eyes. His finger moved and landed on a random choice, he was too lazy to even look at it. Other than the violent ones, there were even many written in strange symbols he could not understand, and the mode he chose was one of these strangely-coded ones.
“Let’s go.” Garen saw the pillar indicate where he needed to go, and in the midst of Anda’s dark laughter, and Linda’s helpless gaze, he led Little Bitch and strode into a small door that had automatically opened on the left.
Anda carefully chose an option on the stone pillar, and also walked into a small door, hugging the blonde girl.
Only Linda was left, but her gaze flashed a little. She did not pick any option, but instead walked out of the hall, and raised her watch outside the door to project a virtual keyboard. After tapping out a simple code to spell out a secret message, and delivering the mail, she finally returned to the pillar and picked the quiet option, leading the pretty boy into a small door.
At the peak of the tallest mountain tree in town, there was a huge empty hall. At the very top of the large empty black space, there was a huge throne, and a huge bald fat man, seven or eight meters wide, five or six meters tall, lay there.
The fatty was covered in fatty flesh, his layers of flesh falling downwards due to gravity, and piling on top of the flesh underneath that, forming folds like a thousand-layer crepe. From afar, he looked like a large pile of white flesh made into a mountain.
The fatty’s two triangular eyes kept blinking, and he bit a long black pipe, half a meter long. in his mouth. There were two naked voluptuous women by his side, constantly massaging his body and head.
“The ones who had come this time are Blackboard Academy’s Inner Courtyard elites, you must be extra, extra careful with how you greet them,” the fatty instructed lazily, looking at Vendant who was kneeling on the floor beneath him.
“I greeted the three lords with the First-Grade rules, please do not worry, City Master,” replied Vendant loudly, his head lowered.
“That’s good.” The City Master nodded, but his chin was too fat, so the action was not very noticeable. “Pay attention, and see if you can get some techniques regarding Repair Troughs from them. Our own Repair Troughs still lack too many critical techniques, if we can complete it quickly, we can also quickly form the Poison People Division.”
“Also, don’t let the other City Masters know that the three lords are here.”
“Yes.” Vendant got up and was about to leave, but suddenly he touched his earpiece, where his subordinate’s report was coming in.
He frowned slightly.
“There’s one more thing, Lord City Master.”
“What is it? Speak,” the fat City Master said calmly, puffing from the pipe.
“One of the three lords wants to borrow our military strength to go out and find some people.” Vendant paused. “It is that new lord, codenamed Garen, it should be his first time in the radiation belt.”
“Oh? It’s the easiest to get good things out of new lords like that… Not bad, not bad, fulfill his desires. Since he’s looking for people, send the best Panther Squad out, and have them obey his every word.” The City Master waved his hand generously.
“Yes, I will give them the order to mobilize now,” replied Vendant respectfully.
Neither of them noticed that a pitch-black insect was blinking its compound eyes in a dark corner of the hall. Its entire body was made completely out of cold mechanics. Through some invisible waves, the voices here were transmitted to a faraway distance.
Inside the Blackboard Region, in a certain private estate in Blackboard City.
Fila strode towards the second floor of the mansion, his expression dark, and saw a carefree young man watching the TV projected onto the wall, holding a remote control. Behind him, there was a pretty girl carefully fanning him.
That bastard, there was automatic air-conditioning right there, but he just refused to turn it on.
Fila cursed him inwardly.
“Where’s Big Bro?” he asked the young man quietly.
“I don’t know… Five, why do you look so unfortunate? You look like a dead dog, y’know~~” The young man made no attempt to hide his jest.
If it weren’t that he could not beat this son of a… Fila felt as though the veins in his forehead were going to pop.
“It was just an accident.” Suddenly something occurred to him, and he tried his best to reply in a nondescript manner.
“Accident?”
The young man looked just like those regular hooligans on the street, his short hair dyed blonde, and he even left a small lock of white hair hanging over the left side of his forehead, all curled up, as though he thought he looked handsome and flirtatious. His white lounge clothes did not match his dark skin, the clothes themselves were luxury items worth more than ten thousand, but when he wore them, he looked like a backwater bumpkin lord.
“Yes, an accident.” Fila acted as though he did not want to talk about it.
“Interesting.” The young man lifted his watch and checked it quickly. When he saw the process, he was instantly even more interested. “You were beaten up that badly by a newbie?” He smiled, completely hooked. “Interesting, how very interesting!”
“What’s it to do with you?! I’ll deal with it myself, I’m warning you, Ice Dragon, I’ll deal with my own matters! If you dare to interfere, I won’t consider you my brother!” said Fila coldly.
“Five, that’s where you’re wrong…” The young man called Ice Dragon stood up. “You’re all alone, and you only got a few kitties under you. If you don’t come to me, your big bro, when stuff like this happens, people will say that my little brother doesn’t come to me even when he’s in trouble, and then how will I face the world?!” he said loudly, patting his chest. “Relax, and leave this to me! I’ll deal with that punk for you directly!”
“It’s my own–” Fila acted unhappy, but before he could even finish his sentence, he was suddenly pressed down by a heavy pressure. For a second there he was completely shocked, and could not say a thing.
This guy got even stronger…!
Ice Dragon’s hands pressed down on Fila’s shoulders, as he was all smiles.
“We’re brothers, and you still act so distant…” All of a sudden, his expression instantly became icy cold. “Are you really trying to make me lose face…!” Hints of cold killing intent emanated from him, keeping Fila locked down tight.
This madman!
Fila’s heart grew cold, and he no longer dared to provoke this person, so he forced out a smile.
“That’s best.” Ice Dragon smiled again. “Recently Big Bro’s men are starting to leave some hints, everything goes according to plan. In just two more months, we can probably successfully obtain that person’s information.”
“So fast!” Fila’s expression changed slightly.
“Get ready, then… Three Marshals and One Star or whatnot, I’ve wanted to meet them for some time now…” Deep-seated killing intent flashed through Ice Dragon’s eyes. “But before that, I’ll go settle the kid that bullied my brother, that’ll be my appetizer…”

"value": "Fang Yuan wiped Chang Ji You's tears and said with a mild tone like a spring wind: \"What are you crying for, I am Wolf King and you are my son, you can only shed blood and not tears.\"\nChang Ji You's mind shook fiercely like he had been struck by lightning, when he heard the word 'son'.\nAn enormous joy engulfed Chang Ji You's mind like a tsunami: 'Father finally recognizes me as his son, he called me son with his own mouth!!!\"\nThe grievances that had accumulated in his heart, the pressure he felt, the anger and shame he had put aside, the sorrow at his adoptive father's death, everything was dispelled at this moment.\nHe involuntarily was about to cry tears of joy but Fang Yuan's words lingered in his ears and he endured painfully, his expression twisted and he even bit his lips, but the tears still flowed out with no end.\nFang Yuan lightly patted his shoulder and warmly said: \"Do you know what your greatest deficiency is?\"\nChang Ji You was slightly shocked.\nFang Yuan continued with a decisive tone: \"Your greatest deficiency is that you are not strong enough.\"\n\"Not strong enough?\" Chang Ji You stopped sobbing, his eyes that were hazy with tears looked at the imposing figure in front.\n\"This is a yellow gold relic Gu, enough for you to advance to rank four peak stage. Also a purple crystal relic Gu which will help you advance rapidly in rank five.\" Fang Yuan took out two relic Gu and handed them to Chang Ji You.\nChang Ji You dazedly accepted it, soon a surging grateful feeling filled his wild heart.\n\"This, isn't this paternal love!? So many poets praised paternal love to be as heavy as a mountain and as deep as the sea…..I can finally enjoy it today!\"\n\"An eagle chick cannot grow firm, iron-like wings without going through the tempering of wind and frost. A horse foal cannot run like the wind without experiencing falling down. I have already heard of Chang tribe's misfortunes, but I will not concern myself with it. Become strong, go through such temperings, take control of the tribe, use this pretext to establish your might, this is something you need to do. I will be watching you from behind.\"\n\"Ah?\" Chang Ji You involuntarily opened up his mouth, shocked and happy.\nFather actually had ways to raise aptitude, moreover was also imparting a strength path killer move!\nEven during the decisive battle with Ma tribe, father only used thirty percent of this killer move's power!\n'My father is after all my father. Godfather Chang Biao might have treated me very well, but that is nothing compared to my father. This is the deepest bond between blood. Lord father is nurturing me with all his efforts!' After the shock, Chang Ji You felt a surge of happiness.\n\"Now I am going to raise your aptitude. Relax your mind, pacify your heart. Sleep, sleep, take a good sleep first.\" Fang Yuan spoke gently while secretly using hypnosis Gu.\nChang Ji You's mood was not stable and he had already been exhausted, and with his extreme trust in Fang Yuan, he soon fell asleep under the effect of Gu worm.\nFang Yuan lightly smiled as he took out blood skull Gu.\nThis Gu had a crystal like texture, the size of an infant's skull and could be held by a palm.\nBut right now, it was full from drinking blood and shone with a demonic blood light.\nThis blood was absorbed from the Chang tribesmen Fang Yuan had secretly killed over these days.\nThe sound asleep Chang Ji You had a slight smile on his face, a happy smile. He had never even expected the killer who had assassinated Chang tribesmen in these days was his most loved and respected 'blood related father'.\nEven Hei Lou Lan and other outsiders were also in the dark, not having the least bit of doubt towards Fang Yuan.\n\"Go.\" Fang Yuan willed and the blood skull Gu slowly flew out of his palm and circled around Chang Ji You.\nThe blood skull Gu then stopped over Chang Ji You's head; it opened its mouth and puffed out blood with a thick stench.\nThe blood directly sunk in through Chang Ji You's head, skin and hairs, followed his veins and finally converged in his aperture.\nChang Ji You's aperture began to slowly but steadily advance.\nBy the time Chang Ji You woke up, Fang Yuan had already gone away.\nThe previous encounter was like a dream, making Chang Ji You feel doubts.\nBut the Gu worms on the ground and plentiful food left behind, were the best proof that everything was true..\n\"Heavens, my aptitude really advanced, now it is at ninety-six percent!!\" Chang Ji You shouted out with joy after he checked his aperture.\n\"Stay here for few days and cultivate properly. Use all the relic Gu father left behind, your cultivation will reach rank five upper stage with these. I am temporarily lending the other Gu worms on the ground to you. Among them is an east window Gu which records the contents of the killer move, read it and practice it.\"\nChang Ji You was extremely excited: \"Ahh, this is father's voice. Lord father, son will not disappoint you. Son will definitely become a rank five Gu Master and master this killer move!\"\nChang Ji You felt extremely bold and was filled with fighting spirit. He sat down cross-legged on the spot and took a yellow gold relic Gu into his aperture.\n\"This is the Gu tester you chose? He is truly a good choice.\" In his mind, Mo Yao's will let out a cold sneer, \"It is only that you clearly indicated the flaws of six arm heavenly zombie king in the east window Gu. And you have also not tampered with the Gu worms you lent him, are you not afraid he will worry about the flaws and be careful, not completely transforming into a heavenly zombie?\"\n\"Hmph, you humans are so sinister and crafty. This blood skull Gu you used, we inkmen would absolutely never refine such an evil Gu worm which is used to harm our own people.\" Mo Yao sneered.\nFang Yuan was not angry, instead smiling: \"Eh, aren't you Spirit Affinity House's fairy, a representative of the righteous path? Why didn't you stop me?\"\n\"That is possible only if I had the ability to stop it. Moreover, why would I stop the internal conflicts between you humans? Hmph, I would rather the whole of your human race died. Then, us variant humans can have space to survive.\" Mo Yao rolled her eyes.\nHer identity was special, she was a past generation's fairy of Spirit Affinity House with an extraordinary relationship with Bo Qing. However, she was also an inkman and was not a purebred human.\nThe feeling with which she looked at humans fighting each other was the same feeling humans had when they watched internal strife between snowmen or beast groups.\n'Just that, you truly don't have the ability to stop me?...' Fang Yuan suppressed this doubt within his heart.\nThree days later, Chang Ji You finished using all the relic Gu and succeeded in advancing to rank five upper stage.\nImmediately afterwards, he began to practice the killer move six arm heavenly zombie king.\nJust like Fang Yuan expected, he was addicted to the vast power of the killer move and gradually began to forget its flaws.\nUnder Fang Yuan's intentional manipulation, he fought an intense and prolonged battle.\nChang Ji You rampaged around to his heart's content in the battle, forgetting the time.\nOnly when the battle ended, did he make a frightening discovery; he had already completely transformed into a heavenly zombie.\nTwo days later, Fang Yuan appeared before him again.\n\"Father, save me!\" The monstrous Chang Ji You kneeled on the ground and begged with terrified expression.\n\"Son, how did you become like this?!\" Fang Yuan asked in great shock and rage, \"I clearly warned you to never use this killer move over the limit. You, you, how could you forget such a crucial thing!\"\n\"Father, son is ashamed, I was muddled for a while and forgot time. By the time I discovered it, it was too late for regret!\" Chang Ji You was extremely ashamed as he looked at Fang Yuan with tear filled eyes while kneeling.\nRight now, he had transformed into this monstrosity, his only hope rested in Fang Yuan.\n\"Sigh… this is difficult. Your appearance, even if we use yin-yang rotation Gu, it won't be able to treat it. This killer move has extreme power, but also because of this, the after-effects are very severe. Even father does not have a way.\" Fang Yuan held out his hands, showing an expression filled with sadness and anger.\n\"This is an immortal killer move? No wonder, no wonder it is so powerful!\" Chang Ji You was stupefied, Fang Yuan might have a lofty figure in his heart, but there was no doubt he paled in comparison to a Gu Immortal.\nChang Ji You had been Chang tribe's young tribe leader, he had not been familiar with Gu Immortals, but was also not completely unfamiliar.\n\"I was wrong, I made a big mistake, how could I seek instant gains!\" Chang Ji You wailed, his wail was sharp and unpleasant like a night owl's.\nSuddenly, he started kowtowing to Fang Yuan and sobbed: \"Father, son failed to live up to your hope. Son made a mistake, son has disappointed you!\"\n\"No, it is this, I needed you to transform into this.' Fang Yuan was laughing inwardly while on the surface, he supported Chang Ji You.\n\"My son, I told you so many times, don't cry! You cannot cry! Although you made a mistake, the fault lies within me as well. I have only been exploring this maze round over these days and did not look after you. Father believes there is always a way out, we will research together and find a way to turn you back into a human! There is definitely a way, believe in father and believe in yourself!\" Fang Yuan said with emotions, with tears in his eyes.\nHe was thoroughly and completely moved.\nHe had become a monster and he, himself, did not not dare to see his face. But his father, Chang Shan Yin, did not loath him. It was clearly the son's fault, but he took the blame upon himself.\nNow that his son had changed to such an appearance, he still did not give up on him.\n\"This is the most profound bond between father and son!\"\n\"This is my father, my dad!\"\nChang Ji You was extremely moved, a spark ignited in his despair filled heart, giving him the confidence to continue living.\n\"Son, stay here and let father think properly on how to change you back. As for Chang tribe, father will personally manage it. You don't need to worry, just recuperate here, with us father and son working hand in hand, what is there to fear about a measly killer move's zombie transformation?\"\nFang Yuan's words made Chang Ji You feel a source of assurance in his heart.\n\"Yes, son will listen to father!\""

方源替常极右擦拭热泪，语气缓和宛若春风：“哭什么，你是我狼王的儿子，只可以流血，不可以流泪。”
一声“儿子”，让常极右心头巨颤了一下，仿佛遭受电击。
巨大的欢喜，宛若海啸一般，席卷常极右的心头：“父亲终于承认我是他的儿子了。 他亲口叫我了！
近日来，他心中积累的委屈，承担的压力，积蓄的愤怒、羞愧，对义父之死的伤悲，都在这一刻，得到了极大的宽解消释。
他不禁喜极而泣，但方源刚刚的话犹在耳畔，他忍得辛苦，面容扭曲，嘴唇都被咬破，但眼泪仍旧不断涌现出来。
方源轻拍他的肩膀，温声道：“知道你最大的不足是什么吗？”
常极右微楞。
方源以肯定的语气，接着道：“你最大的不足，就是你不够强。”
“不够强？” 常极右停止抽泣，泪眼朦胧地盯着眼前伟岸的身影。
“这里是黄金舍利蛊，足够你攀上四转巅峰。 还有紫晶舍利蛊，能令你在五转上突飞猛进。”
常极右呆呆地接住，旋即澎湃的感激之情，充斥他的心野。
“这，这就是父爱吗！ 多少诗人赞颂父爱沉重如山，深厚如海……我在今天，终于感受到了啊！”
变强，接受这样的锤炼，接管部族，借此竖立威信，这就是你要做的事情。 我将在幕后注视着你。” 方源道。
“啊？” 常极右不禁张大嘴巴，惊喜交加。
父亲居然能有提升资质的手段，而且还将传授他力道杀招！
这套力道杀招，就是父亲在和马家决战时动用的手段。 还只是发挥了三成威力而已！
“父亲，到底是我的亲生父亲啊。 常飚义父虽然也待我甚厚，但是和亲生父亲一比起来，就不算什么了。 这就是血脉里最深的羁绊啊。
放松精神，平复心境。 睡吧，睡吧，先好好睡一觉。” 方源声音温润缓和，暗中则催动催眠蛊虫。
常极右心情大起大落，早已疲惫。 又极信任方源，在蛊虫的作用下，很快一睡不醒。
方源淡淡一笑，取出血颅蛊。
此蛊通体水晶般质地，只有婴儿头骨大小，一个巴掌就可托住。
此刻，它却是饱饮鲜血，一片猩红，闪烁邪魅血光。
这血，正是方源这些天来，暗中斩杀常家族人，汲取而得。
熟睡中的常极右，嘴角微微翘起，泛起幸福的微笑。 他绝不会想到，这些天来四处暗杀常家族人的罪魁祸首，就是他最爱戴最崇拜的“亲生父亲”。
即便是黑楼兰等外人，也被蒙在鼓里，没有怀疑到方源的身上。
“去吧。” 方源心念一动，血颅蛊缓缓飞出他的手掌，围绕着常极右飞了一圈。
随后，血颅蛊停留在常极右的头顶，嘴巴张开，吐出一股腥臭浓郁的鲜血。
鲜血直接没入常极右的头顶、肌肤、毛发，顺着身体脉络，最终汇聚到他的空窍之中。
常极右的资质，开始缓慢而坚定的提升。
等到常极右醒来时，方源已经不见踪影。
之前的遭遇，仿佛是一个梦，令常极右不禁怀疑。
但留在地上的一堆蛊虫，还有充足的食物，却又是最好的明证，证明这一切都是真实发生过。
“天呐，我的资质真的上升了，现在足足有九成六分！ ！”
里面有一只东窗蛊，记载了杀招的详细内容，你照着上面练习即可。” 一股回音，传入常极右的耳中。
常极右激动万分：“啊，这是父亲的声音。 父亲大人，孩儿一定不会让您失望的。
常极右心中涌动起无限的豪情和斗志。 他当场就盘坐在地，取出一只黄金舍利蛊，纳入自身空窍。
方源一直在暗中观察。
“哼，你们人族就是如此狡诈阴险。 就像你用的这只血颅蛊，我们墨人是万万不会炼出这种邪恶的蛊虫出来，专门陷害自己的族人的。” 墨瑶嘲讽道。
方源并不生气，反而笑道：“咦，你不是灵缘斋的仙子，正道代表么，怎么不来阻止我呢？”
“那也得我有能力阻止才行啊。 再说，我为什么要阻止你们人族的内斗？
她的身份很奇特，是灵缘斋的某代仙子，和薄青关系非凡，却同时又是墨人，并非纯种人族。
她看待人族自相残杀，等若人族看待雪人，或者兽群内斗一样的感觉。
“只是，真的没有能力相阻么……”方源将这个疑问按捺在心中。
三天后，常极右利用舍利蛊，成功地将自身的修行提升到五转高阶。
随即，他开始马不停蹄地练习杀招六臂天尸王。
果然不出方源所料，他沉醉在杀招的浩瀚威能当中，渐渐忘却了杀招的缺憾。
在方源有意操纵下，营造出一场激烈的持久战。
激战中，常极右左冲右突，酣畅淋漓，忘记时间。
等到战斗结束时，他这才惊恐地发现，自己已经彻底转变成了天尸。
隔了两天之后，方源再次出现在他的面前。
“父亲救我！” 变成怪物的常极右，跪在地上，惊惶求教。
！” 方源大为震惊，怒问，“我明明已经告诫你了，千万不要过分催动这个杀招。 你啊，你啊，你怎么忘了这个最关键的事！”
“父亲，孩儿惭愧，一时糊涂，忘了时间。 等到发现时，已经悔之晚矣了，父亲！”
现在，他变得人不人鬼不鬼的样子，唯一的希望就放在方源的身上了。
“唉……这下难办了。 你这个样子，就算是动用阴阳转身蛊，也救不回来。 这个杀招威力凶悍绝伦，但也正因为如此，更导致后遗症十分严重。
难怪，难怪这样的厉害！” 常极右懵了，方源在他心目中虽然形象高大伟岸，但是和蛊仙一比较起来，无疑就相形见绌了。
常极右之前一直是常家少族长，对蛊仙虽不熟悉，也绝不陌生。
“我错了，我犯了大错了，怎么可以如此急功近利呢！” 常极右大哭，哭声如夜枭般尖锐难听。
忽然，他跪在地上，向方源连连磕头，哭嚎道：“父亲，孩儿辜负了您的殷切期盼。
孩儿错了，孩儿让您失望了啊！” “不，正是这样，我正需要你变成这样啊。” 方源心中暗笑，表面上则搀扶起常极右。
不能哭！ 你虽然做错了，但父亲我也有错啊。
他被彻彻底底的感动了。
他变成了怪物，自己都不敢看自己的面孔。 但父亲常山阴却毫无厌恶，明明是儿子做错了，还将错误揽在他自己的身上。
现在儿子变成了这个样子，他还仍旧不放弃。
“这就是父子间最深重的羁绊啊！”
“这就是我的父亲，我的亲爹啊！”
常极右万分感动，绝望的内心又点燃了希望的火苗，他又有信心继续活下去了。
“孩子，你就先留在这里，让为父好好思考一下，能有什么法子把你变回去。 至于常家，为父亲自住持。
方源的话，让常极右仿佛找到了主心骨。
“是，孩儿一切都听父亲的！”

Fang Yuan wiped Chang Ji You's tears and said with a mild tone like a spring wind: "What are you crying for, I am Wolf King and you are my son, you can only shed blood and not tears."
Chang Ji You's mind shook fiercely like he had been struck by lightning, when he heard the word 'son'.
An enormous joy engulfed Chang Ji You's mind like a tsunami: 'Father finally recognizes me as his son, he called me son with his own mouth!!!"
The grievances that had accumulated in his heart, the pressure he felt, the anger and shame he had put aside, the sorrow at his adoptive father's death, everything was dispelled at this moment.
He involuntarily was about to cry tears of joy but Fang Yuan's words lingered in his ears and he endured painfully, his expression twisted and he even bit his lips, but the tears still flowed out with no end.
Fang Yuan lightly patted his shoulder and warmly said: "Do you know what your greatest deficiency is?"
Chang Ji You was slightly shocked.
Fang Yuan continued with a decisive tone: "Your greatest deficiency is that you are not strong enough."
"Not strong enough?" Chang Ji You stopped sobbing, his eyes that were hazy with tears looked at the imposing figure in front.
"This is a yellow gold relic Gu, enough for you to advance to rank four peak stage. Also a purple crystal relic Gu which will help you advance rapidly in rank five." Fang Yuan took out two relic Gu and handed them to Chang Ji You.
Chang Ji You dazedly accepted it, soon a surging grateful feeling filled his wild heart.
"This, isn't this paternal love!? So many poets praised paternal love to be as heavy as a mountain and as deep as the sea…..I can finally enjoy it today!"
"An eagle chick cannot grow firm, iron-like wings without going through the tempering of wind and frost. A horse foal cannot run like the wind without experiencing falling down. I have already heard of Chang tribe's misfortunes, but I will not concern myself with it. Become strong, go through such temperings, take control of the tribe, use this pretext to establish your might, this is something you need to do. I will be watching you from behind."
"Ah?" Chang Ji You involuntarily opened up his mouth, shocked and happy.
Father actually had ways to raise aptitude, moreover was also imparting a strength path killer move!
Even during the decisive battle with Ma tribe, father only used thirty percent of this killer move's power!
'My father is after all my father. Godfather Chang Biao might have treated me very well, but that is nothing compared to my father. This is the deepest bond between blood. Lord father is nurturing me with all his efforts!' After the shock, Chang Ji You felt a surge of happiness.
"Now I am going to raise your aptitude. Relax your mind, pacify your heart. Sleep, sleep, take a good sleep first." Fang Yuan spoke gently while secretly using hypnosis Gu.
Chang Ji You's mood was not stable and he had already been exhausted, and with his extreme trust in Fang Yuan, he soon fell asleep under the effect of Gu worm.
Fang Yuan lightly smiled as he took out blood skull Gu.
This Gu had a crystal like texture, the size of an infant's skull and could be held by a palm.
But right now, it was full from drinking blood and shone with a demonic blood light.
This blood was absorbed from the Chang tribesmen Fang Yuan had secretly killed over these days.
The sound asleep Chang Ji You had a slight smile on his face, a happy smile. He had never even expected the killer who had assassinated Chang tribesmen in these days was his most loved and respected 'blood related father'.
Even Hei Lou Lan and other outsiders were also in the dark, not having the least bit of doubt towards Fang Yuan.
"Go." Fang Yuan willed and the blood skull Gu slowly flew out of his palm and circled around Chang Ji You.
The blood skull Gu then stopped over Chang Ji You's head; it opened its mouth and puffed out blood with a thick stench.
The blood directly sunk in through Chang Ji You's head, skin and hairs, followed his veins and finally converged in his aperture.
Chang Ji You's aperture began to slowly but steadily advance.
By the time Chang Ji You woke up, Fang Yuan had already gone away.
The previous encounter was like a dream, making Chang Ji You feel doubts.
But the Gu worms on the ground and plentiful food left behind, were the best proof that everything was true..
"Heavens, my aptitude really advanced, now it is at ninety-six percent!!" Chang Ji You shouted out with joy after he checked his aperture.
"Stay here for few days and cultivate properly. Use all the relic Gu father left behind, your cultivation will reach rank five upper stage with these. I am temporarily lending the other Gu worms on the ground to you. Among them is an east window Gu which records the contents of the killer move, read it and practice it."
Chang Ji You was extremely excited: "Ahh, this is father's voice. Lord father, son will not disappoint you. Son will definitely become a rank five Gu Master and master this killer move!"
Chang Ji You felt extremely bold and was filled with fighting spirit. He sat down cross-legged on the spot and took a yellow gold relic Gu into his aperture.
"This is the Gu tester you chose? He is truly a good choice." In his mind, Mo Yao's will let out a cold sneer, "It is only that you clearly indicated the flaws of six arm heavenly zombie king in the east window Gu. And you have also not tampered with the Gu worms you lent him, are you not afraid he will worry about the flaws and be careful, not completely transforming into a heavenly zombie?"
"Hmph, you humans are so sinister and crafty. This blood skull Gu you used, we inkmen would absolutely never refine such an evil Gu worm which is used to harm our own people." Mo Yao sneered.
Fang Yuan was not angry, instead smiling: "Eh, aren't you Spirit Affinity House's fairy, a representative of the righteous path? Why didn't you stop me?"
"That is possible only if I had the ability to stop it. Moreover, why would I stop the internal conflicts between you humans? Hmph, I would rather the whole of your human race died. Then, us variant humans can have space to survive." Mo Yao rolled her eyes.
Her identity was special, she was a past generation's fairy of Spirit Affinity House with an extraordinary relationship with Bo Qing. However, she was also an inkman and was not a purebred human.
The feeling with which she looked at humans fighting each other was the same feeling humans had when they watched internal strife between snowmen or beast groups.
'Just that, you truly don't have the ability to stop me?...' Fang Yuan suppressed this doubt within his heart.
Three days later, Chang Ji You finished using all the relic Gu and succeeded in advancing to rank five upper stage.
Immediately afterwards, he began to practice the killer move six arm heavenly zombie king.
Just like Fang Yuan expected, he was addicted to the vast power of the killer move and gradually began to forget its flaws.
Under Fang Yuan's intentional manipulation, he fought an intense and prolonged battle.
Chang Ji You rampaged around to his heart's content in the battle, forgetting the time.
Only when the battle ended, did he make a frightening discovery; he had already completely transformed into a heavenly zombie.
Two days later, Fang Yuan appeared before him again.
"Father, save me!" The monstrous Chang Ji You kneeled on the ground and begged with terrified expression.
"Son, how did you become like this?!" Fang Yuan asked in great shock and rage, "I clearly warned you to never use this killer move over the limit. You, you, how could you forget such a crucial thing!"
"Father, son is ashamed, I was muddled for a while and forgot time. By the time I discovered it, it was too late for regret!" Chang Ji You was extremely ashamed as he looked at Fang Yuan with tear filled eyes while kneeling.
Right now, he had transformed into this monstrosity, his only hope rested in Fang Yuan.
"Sigh… this is difficult. Your appearance, even if we use yin-yang rotation Gu, it won't be able to treat it. This killer move has extreme power, but also because of this, the after-effects are very severe. Even father does not have a way." Fang Yuan held out his hands, showing an expression filled with sadness and anger.
"This is an immortal killer move? No wonder, no wonder it is so powerful!" Chang Ji You was stupefied, Fang Yuan might have a lofty figure in his heart, but there was no doubt he paled in comparison to a Gu Immortal.
Chang Ji You had been Chang tribe's young tribe leader, he had not been familiar with Gu Immortals, but was also not completely unfamiliar.
"I was wrong, I made a big mistake, how could I seek instant gains!" Chang Ji You wailed, his wail was sharp and unpleasant like a night owl's.
Suddenly, he started kowtowing to Fang Yuan and sobbed: "Father, son failed to live up to your hope. Son made a mistake, son has disappointed you!"
"No, it is this, I needed you to transform into this.' Fang Yuan was laughing inwardly while on the surface, he supported Chang Ji You.
"My son, I told you so many times, don't cry! You cannot cry! Although you made a mistake, the fault lies within me as well. I have only been exploring this maze round over these days and did not look after you. Father believes there is always a way out, we will research together and find a way to turn you back into a human! There is definitely a way, believe in father and believe in yourself!" Fang Yuan said with emotions, with tears in his eyes.
He was thoroughly and completely moved.
He had become a monster and he, himself, did not not dare to see his face. But his father, Chang Shan Yin, did not loath him. It was clearly the son's fault, but he took the blame upon himself.
Now that his son had changed to such an appearance, he still did not give up on him.
"This is the most profound bond between father and son!"
"This is my father, my dad!"
Chang Ji You was extremely moved, a spark ignited in his despair filled heart, giving him the confidence to continue living.
"Son, stay here and let father think properly on how to change you back. As for Chang tribe, father will personally manage it. You don't need to worry, just recuperate here, with us father and son working hand in hand, what is there to fear about a measly killer move's zombie transformation?"
Fang Yuan's words made Chang Ji You feel a source of assurance in his heart.
"Yes, son will listen to father!"

"value": "“I don’t think you need to wash this bowl,” by the side, Lee Yanyi made a snide remark.\n“You aren’t any better off than me,” unwilling to be outdone, Xing Min said while looking at Lee Yanyi’s bowl.\n“I’m being thrifty. We have rules here,” Lee Yanyi said righteously. One had to wonder what his face was made of to be so shameless.\nHe seemed to have forgotten the incident where he was nearly blacklisted the first time since he didn’t finish his food here.\n“The signature dish is really something. I found that the minced meat wasn’t something marinated in advance and relied completely on the natural starch vermicellis have to stay stuck. What marvelous cooking skill,” Xing Min recalled.\n“The shredded leeks included in the dish were spicy and hot too. Not only had they acted as a decoration to the dish, they had also enriched its flavor. This dish can both serve as the side dish or the main course by itself,” Xing Min praised repeatedly.\n“You’re convinced already? There’s more to come.” It was clear that Lee Yanyi was feeling very smug.\nIt was as if he knew everything yet Xing Min knew nothing. Whenever Lee Yanyi was in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, he would have such a sense of superiority.\nAfter all, Lee Yanyi was a long time customer of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant while this was Xing Min’s first time here.\n“You will understand after eating this,” Lee Yanyi pointed at the spoon filled with Egg Fried Rice and said.\n“Eat this?” Xing Min looked at Lee Yanyi like he was looking at a madman.\nLee Yanyi had ordered an Egg Fried Rice with Jinling Prawns as the side dish. Naturally, none of the prawns were left. But he still had a final spoonful of the Egg Fried Rice left.\nThis final spoonful of had been set aside by Lee Yanyi using Xing Min’s spoon before he dug into his food.\nHowever, Xing Min felt that Lee Yanyi was being ridiculous. What could this tiny bit of Egg Fried Rice do? Moreover, it was already cold by now.\nAfter all, food cooked with chicken eggs would taste fishy when they became cold.\nAs far as Xing Min was concerned, after being placed aside for so long, this spoonful of Egg Fried Rice must have gone cold.\n“Just eat it if I tell you to eat. Don’t you know the concept of giving it a taste?” Lee Yanyi grumbled.\n“Fine, I heard that this kid’s Egg Fried Rice is quite good anyway,” Xing Min muttered and placed the rice into his mouth.\n“Wu?” Xing Min involuntarily cried out the moment the rice entered his mouth.\nThe instant the Egg Fried Rice entered his mouth, it was indeed cold as Xing Min had expected. However, after chewing on the rice, he found that there was still a tiny bit of warmth left in the rice.\nThe moment he chewed on it, the soft part of the rice came into contact with his teeth before erupting with the aroma contained within.\nThis was the taste of the freshness of the rice wrapped in the delicious flavor of the chicken egg. With the warmth of his mouth, the rice grains once again became soft and springy as well.\nThe golden chicken egg layered on the rice did not turn fishy just because it went cold. Rather, it had a distinctive cold aroma attached to it.\nWith the combination of the cold aroma of the egg along with the warmth of the rice wrapped underneath, two different flavors and feelings erupted in his mouth.\nThis was but a tiny spoonful of rice. After chewing two times, it was finished.\n“Very fragrant. This Egg Fried Rice is very fragrant,” Xing Min immediately praised.\n“So which dish do you feel is the actual signature now?” Lee Yanyi never forgot about this.\n“That’s not important. What’s important is, can I have one of this Egg Fried Rice?” Xing Min waved his hand, not planning to think of this for now. Eating more was his sole priority now.\n“Sure you can. That does not go against the rules here. But you have to make the order yourself.” Lee Yanyi nodded.\nUltimately, Xing Min ordered a set of Egg Fried Rice. Finally, he was satisfied.\nBut from Xing Min’s reaction, his theory of the signature dish being tastier than other dishes lost all credibility.\nAnd thus, Yuan Zhou claiming the Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork as his signature dish now had a layer of mystery added to it.\nSince Yuan Zhou did not mention the reason for this dish to be his signature, it became one of the 12 unsolved mysteries of his restaurant.\nNaturally, the 12 unsolved mysteries were put together by others, not by Yuan Zhou.\nYuan Zhou was in a good mood and form today. This was the conclusion of all the regular customers.\nOf course, this conclusion was backed by Mu Xiaoyun and Zhou Jia with reliable proof.\nSince Yuan Zhou had recovered, nobody asked for the reason for his bad mood yesterday.\nApart from concern, the customers here also respected Yuan Zhou as a person. Their respect was similar to the respect Master Cheng had even though he wasn’t accepted by Yuan Zhou as a disciple.\nSun Ming was a person who would act on what he said. Therefore, right after the restaurant closed, he called Yuan Zhou and told him that he would arrive tomorrow to buy his goddess a meal.\nOn the next day, Sun Ming arrived long before noon. He had reached even earlier than the always energetic Wu Hai.\n“Why are you here?” Wu Hai frowned while looking at Sun Ming.\nThere were a few times in the past where Yuan Zhou was called away by Sun Ming. Therefore, Wu Hai did not like Sun Ming.\nMoreover, this person always claimed to be Yuan Zhou’s brother. He might very well be privileged enough to have the first taste of Yuan Zhou’s new dishes.\nHolding onto such belief, it wasn’t odd for Wu Hai to dislike Sun Ming.\n“Naturally, it’s because I have some business with Yuan Zhou,” Sun Ming answered while carrying two insulation barrels.\n“Does he need to leave for this business?” Wu Hai’s heart sank and immediately asked.\n“No. Don’t worry, it won’t interfere with your meal. In any case, I’m ahead of you in the line today,” Sun Ming smugly said.\n“Hoho, there are still two hours before lunch. The line hasn’t even started,” Wu Hai said with contempt while rubbing his tiny mustaches.\n“That doesn’t change the fact that I was earlier than you.” Sun Ming then directly entered the restaurant.\n“He’s definitely up to no good.” Wu Hai rubbed his mustaches with a stern look on his face. However, he did not follow Sun Ming into the restaurant. He stood outside, looking at the two in the restaurant.\n“This is Mushroom Fig Black Chicken Soup. This portion is for you to taste. You are not allowed to touch the other portion. That is prepared for my goddess.” Sun Ming passed the two insulation barrels to Yuan Zhou.\nOne of the insulation barrels was white with peony markings on it, looking very ordinary. On the other hand, the other insulation barrel meant for the goddess had exquisite orchid markings on it. Even its grip was much more finely made.\n“Ok.” With no expression on his face, Yuan Zhou took the two insulation barrels. Then, he looked at Sun Ming before opening the barrel containing his portion.\n“How is it? It tastes mild and nourishing, right?” Sun Ming asked expectantly.\n“Passable, I guess.” It was clear Yuan Zhou did not like it from his expression.\n“It’s not like I prepared it for you. Then again, this is how this soup has always tasted like. My goddess will only like it if it has a mild taste. Moreover, it’s very healthy for the body and is suitable for nourishing one’s body during the winter,” Sun Ming glared at Yuan Zhou and said.\n“Anyway, you promised me on the phone to tell her this soup is a product of your restaurant. You have to personally present the soup to her later,” Sun Ming changed the topic and reminded Yuan Zhou anxiously.\n“I know.” Yuan Zhou nodded.\nThat’s right. Sun Ming had spent an entire night boiling this soup but because he was too embarrassed to admit that and was too shy to personally present it to his goddess, he had to make use of Yuan Zhou.\nYuan Zhou did not mind doing him a small favor like this. In any case, Sun Ming was his best friend. Therefore, he agreed without hesitation. Of course, the actual form of help he would give was up to Yuan Zhou himself."

邢岷面前摆着两个空空如也的盘子和碗，满足的说道。 “这你碗就不用洗了。”
“半斤八两而已。” 邢岷意有所指的看着李研一的空碗，不甘示弱的说道。
“我这是节约，这里可是有规矩的。” 李研一就不知道什么是脸皮，理所当然的说道。
完全忘记了，第一次吃不完差点被黑名单的事情。
“这拿手菜就是不一样，我发现这肉沫居然没有是先腌制过，全靠粉丝本身会有的粉质进行包裹的，真是高深的厨艺。” 邢岷回味的说道。
“里面带着辛辣的青蒜丝，不光点缀了颜色，还让味道更加丰富和立体，这道菜既可以做主菜，又可以作为主食。” 邢岷止不住的夸奖道。
还有别的呢。” 李研一脸上的得意很是明显。
这感觉就好似我什么都知道，但是你却什么都不知道，李研一在袁州小店就生出了这样的优越感。
毕竟，李研一已经在袁州小店许久了，而邢岷不过第一次来。
“你把这吃了就明白了。”
李研一指着满勺子的蛋炒饭说道。 “吃这个？”
邢岷一脸莫不是你疯了的样子看着李研一。 李研一点的是蛋炒饭配金陵虾，虾自然是吃完了的，而蛋炒饭还是留了一口的。
这一勺子就是李研一用邢岷的勺子事先盛在一旁的。
但，邢岷也觉得李研一这个做法简直莫名其妙，吃这么鸡食大一点的蛋炒饭能做什么，何况还是冷的。
要知道蛋炒饭冷了可是会腥的，毕竟是鸡蛋炒的。
在邢岷看来，放了那么久肯定已经冷透了。
“让你吃就吃，用品的不会啊。” 李研一没好气的说道。
要知道这一勺子可是李研一自己嘴边省下来的。 “行吧，听说这小子蛋炒饭确实也做的不错。”
邢岷咕哝了一句，这才把炒饭放进了嘴里。
炒饭一入口，邢岷就忍不住惊疑了一声。 蛋炒饭一入口，确实如邢岷所想的那样，已经冷了，但是当他咀嚼后却发现，炒饭的里面居然还是微微温热的。
而且，一咀嚼好似米粒里柔软的地方立刻就被牙齿碰触，包含的香味也直接迸发出来。
是那种米粒的清香被鸡蛋的鲜美所包裹的感觉，而且嘴里的米粒在口腔的温度下重新变得柔软而富有弹性。
而且外部包裹的金黄色的鸡蛋的那一面，并没有因为变冷而变得腥气，而是带着一股的冷香味道。
更不用说包裹米粒的蛋液里面是温热的，这样单单只是鸡蛋就形成了两种截然不同的口感和香味。
这些才是邢岷惊讶的原因。 一小口的米饭，邢岷不过咀嚼两下就没了。
“真香，这蛋炒饭真香。”
“现在觉得那个是拿手菜？” 李研一时时不忘这事。
“这不重要，重要的是这蛋炒饭能来一份不？” 邢岷挥手，表示暂时不关心这事，现在吃才是最重要的事情。
“当然，这不违反这里的规矩，不过只能你自己点。” 李研一点头。
最终邢岷还是再来了一份蛋炒饭，然后这才满足了。
不过，邢岷的这个表现也表明，拿手菜比其他菜好吃这事还是不靠谱的。
不过，这下子袁州说蚂蚁上树是拿手菜这事就比较玄幻了。
而这事，因为袁州重来没说过的原因，倒是成为了袁州小店的十二个未解之谜中的一个。
当然，这个未解之谜也是由别人评选的。
这一天，袁州的心情和状态都很好，这是所有熟客得出的结论。
当然这个结论由暮小云和周佳、申敏提供了可靠的证明。
是以，这下子再没人询问袁州昨天心情不好的缘由。
食客关心袁州的同时，也尊重袁州，尊重他这个人，就像未被收徒的程技师同样也尊重袁州一样。
孙明是个行动派，时间也掐的刚好，酒馆营业时间结束，就给袁州打了电话，说是明天就过来请女神吃饭。
第二日离着中午还有很久，孙明就来了，来的比积极的乌海还早。
“你怎么来了？” 乌海看着孙明皱眉。
要知道有几次，袁州是被孙明叫走的，是以乌海一点也不喜欢孙明。
况且这人还以袁州的兄弟自居，平时说不定就能吃到什么袁州刚刚出锅的新菜之类的。
有了这样的联想，乌海能待见孙明才怪了。
孙明拎着两个保温桶，自然的说道。
“需要出门吗？” 乌海精神一紧绷，立刻问道。
“不用，耽误不了你吃饭，再说了，今天可是我在你前面的。” 孙明得意的说道。
“呵呵，现在离吃午饭还有两个小时，还没开始排队。” 乌海摸着小胡子鄙视的说道。
“那我也比你早。” 孙明说完直接进了店里。
“肯定不是什么好事。” 乌海摸着小胡子，脸上的神情很是严肃，却没有跟进去，就站在门外看着店里的两人。
乌海这样子明显是准备一有情况就往里冲，但也适当的保持着听不见谈话的距离。 “这是杂菌无花果炖乌鸡，这是给你尝的，另一罐可不许动，那是给我女神的。”
孙明把两个保温桶都递给了袁州。 只是一个保温桶就是白色的牡丹花那种，平常的很，而另一罐给女神的则是绘着秀雅的兰花，把手都精致的多。 “嗯。”
袁州面无表情的接过两罐，然后看了看孙明，这才打开给他尝的那罐尝。 “怎么样，味道是不是清淡又滋补。”
孙明一脸期待的问道。
“勉强入口。”
袁州一脸嫌弃。 “反正又不是给你喝的，再说了，这汤本来就是这样的，清清淡淡的女神才喜欢，而且特别滋补，还适合冬天滋补。” 孙明没好气的白了袁州一眼，然后说道。
“不过，你答应我的，一会就说这汤是你店里的，你亲自端过去，可别忘了。” 孙明话锋一转，紧张又忐忑的叮嘱道。
“知道。” 袁州点头。
是的，孙明自己炖了一晚上的汤，却因为不好意思，不敢说，也不敢自己端给女神，就想假借袁州的手端给女神。
这样的小忙，袁州表示他还是很乐于助人的，再加上孙明是他好朋友，所以义不容辞。 只是怎么帮，那就是袁州自己的事情了。

“I don’t think you need to wash this bowl,” by the side, Lee Yanyi made a snide remark.
“You aren’t any better off than me,” unwilling to be outdone, Xing Min said while looking at Lee Yanyi’s bowl.
“I’m being thrifty. We have rules here,” Lee Yanyi said righteously. One had to wonder what his face was made of to be so shameless.
He seemed to have forgotten the incident where he was nearly blacklisted the first time since he didn’t finish his food here.
“The signature dish is really something. I found that the minced meat wasn’t something marinated in advance and relied completely on the natural starch vermicellis have to stay stuck. What marvelous cooking skill,” Xing Min recalled.
“The shredded leeks included in the dish were spicy and hot too. Not only had they acted as a decoration to the dish, they had also enriched its flavor. This dish can both serve as the side dish or the main course by itself,” Xing Min praised repeatedly.
“You’re convinced already? There’s more to come.” It was clear that Lee Yanyi was feeling very smug.
It was as if he knew everything yet Xing Min knew nothing. Whenever Lee Yanyi was in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, he would have such a sense of superiority.
After all, Lee Yanyi was a long time customer of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant while this was Xing Min’s first time here.
“You will understand after eating this,” Lee Yanyi pointed at the spoon filled with Egg Fried Rice and said.
“Eat this?” Xing Min looked at Lee Yanyi like he was looking at a madman.
Lee Yanyi had ordered an Egg Fried Rice with Jinling Prawns as the side dish. Naturally, none of the prawns were left. But he still had a final spoonful of the Egg Fried Rice left.
This final spoonful of had been set aside by Lee Yanyi using Xing Min’s spoon before he dug into his food.
However, Xing Min felt that Lee Yanyi was being ridiculous. What could this tiny bit of Egg Fried Rice do? Moreover, it was already cold by now.
After all, food cooked with chicken eggs would taste fishy when they became cold.
As far as Xing Min was concerned, after being placed aside for so long, this spoonful of Egg Fried Rice must have gone cold.
“Just eat it if I tell you to eat. Don’t you know the concept of giving it a taste?” Lee Yanyi grumbled.
“Fine, I heard that this kid’s Egg Fried Rice is quite good anyway,” Xing Min muttered and placed the rice into his mouth.
“Wu?” Xing Min involuntarily cried out the moment the rice entered his mouth.
The instant the Egg Fried Rice entered his mouth, it was indeed cold as Xing Min had expected. However, after chewing on the rice, he found that there was still a tiny bit of warmth left in the rice.
The moment he chewed on it, the soft part of the rice came into contact with his teeth before erupting with the aroma contained within.
This was the taste of the freshness of the rice wrapped in the delicious flavor of the chicken egg. With the warmth of his mouth, the rice grains once again became soft and springy as well.
The golden chicken egg layered on the rice did not turn fishy just because it went cold. Rather, it had a distinctive cold aroma attached to it.
With the combination of the cold aroma of the egg along with the warmth of the rice wrapped underneath, two different flavors and feelings erupted in his mouth.
This was but a tiny spoonful of rice. After chewing two times, it was finished.
“Very fragrant. This Egg Fried Rice is very fragrant,” Xing Min immediately praised.
“So which dish do you feel is the actual signature now?” Lee Yanyi never forgot about this.
“That’s not important. What’s important is, can I have one of this Egg Fried Rice?” Xing Min waved his hand, not planning to think of this for now. Eating more was his sole priority now.
“Sure you can. That does not go against the rules here. But you have to make the order yourself.” Lee Yanyi nodded.
Ultimately, Xing Min ordered a set of Egg Fried Rice. Finally, he was satisfied.
But from Xing Min’s reaction, his theory of the signature dish being tastier than other dishes lost all credibility.
And thus, Yuan Zhou claiming the Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork as his signature dish now had a layer of mystery added to it.
Since Yuan Zhou did not mention the reason for this dish to be his signature, it became one of the 12 unsolved mysteries of his restaurant.
Naturally, the 12 unsolved mysteries were put together by others, not by Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou was in a good mood and form today. This was the conclusion of all the regular customers.
Of course, this conclusion was backed by Mu Xiaoyun and Zhou Jia with reliable proof.
Since Yuan Zhou had recovered, nobody asked for the reason for his bad mood yesterday.
Apart from concern, the customers here also respected Yuan Zhou as a person. Their respect was similar to the respect Master Cheng had even though he wasn’t accepted by Yuan Zhou as a disciple.
Sun Ming was a person who would act on what he said. Therefore, right after the restaurant closed, he called Yuan Zhou and told him that he would arrive tomorrow to buy his goddess a meal.
On the next day, Sun Ming arrived long before noon. He had reached even earlier than the always energetic Wu Hai.
“Why are you here?” Wu Hai frowned while looking at Sun Ming.
There were a few times in the past where Yuan Zhou was called away by Sun Ming. Therefore, Wu Hai did not like Sun Ming.
Moreover, this person always claimed to be Yuan Zhou’s brother. He might very well be privileged enough to have the first taste of Yuan Zhou’s new dishes.
Holding onto such belief, it wasn’t odd for Wu Hai to dislike Sun Ming.
“Naturally, it’s because I have some business with Yuan Zhou,” Sun Ming answered while carrying two insulation barrels.
“Does he need to leave for this business?” Wu Hai’s heart sank and immediately asked.
“No. Don’t worry, it won’t interfere with your meal. In any case, I’m ahead of you in the line today,” Sun Ming smugly said.
“Hoho, there are still two hours before lunch. The line hasn’t even started,” Wu Hai said with contempt while rubbing his tiny mustaches.
“That doesn’t change the fact that I was earlier than you.” Sun Ming then directly entered the restaurant.
“He’s definitely up to no good.” Wu Hai rubbed his mustaches with a stern look on his face. However, he did not follow Sun Ming into the restaurant. He stood outside, looking at the two in the restaurant.
“This is Mushroom Fig Black Chicken Soup. This portion is for you to taste. You are not allowed to touch the other portion. That is prepared for my goddess.” Sun Ming passed the two insulation barrels to Yuan Zhou.
One of the insulation barrels was white with peony markings on it, looking very ordinary. On the other hand, the other insulation barrel meant for the goddess had exquisite orchid markings on it. Even its grip was much more finely made.
“Ok.” With no expression on his face, Yuan Zhou took the two insulation barrels. Then, he looked at Sun Ming before opening the barrel containing his portion.
“How is it? It tastes mild and nourishing, right?” Sun Ming asked expectantly.
“Passable, I guess.” It was clear Yuan Zhou did not like it from his expression.
“It’s not like I prepared it for you. Then again, this is how this soup has always tasted like. My goddess will only like it if it has a mild taste. Moreover, it’s very healthy for the body and is suitable for nourishing one’s body during the winter,” Sun Ming glared at Yuan Zhou and said.
“Anyway, you promised me on the phone to tell her this soup is a product of your restaurant. You have to personally present the soup to her later,” Sun Ming changed the topic and reminded Yuan Zhou anxiously.
“I know.” Yuan Zhou nodded.
That’s right. Sun Ming had spent an entire night boiling this soup but because he was too embarrassed to admit that and was too shy to personally present it to his goddess, he had to make use of Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou did not mind doing him a small favor like this. In any case, Sun Ming was his best friend. Therefore, he agreed without hesitation. Of course, the actual form of help he would give was up to Yuan Zhou himself.

第933章
巴黎大酒店作为欧洲最豪华的酒店之一，装饰的金碧辉煌，外表是用黄金瓷砖装饰，一些大门地方直接用的是真黄金，看起来金光闪闪，亮瞎了众人的眼睛。
在墙壁和地面之上，则是装饰着水晶，这种透明的水晶非常漂亮，散发出银白色的光芒，好像是钻石一样，是每个女人的最爱。
不仅是酒店的装饰，里面的服务员也是长得非常漂亮，一个个都是穿着法国特有的服侍，脸蛋娇艳，身材高挑，散发出美丽的青春气息。
当然这些服务员再漂亮，也是没有凯瑟琳漂亮，她今天才是晚宴的主角。
晚宴大厅足足有一千平米，非常的宽敞，里面聚集了很多人，都是金发碧眼，皮肤白色，这是欧洲人的典型特征。
李清风刚进入晚宴大厅，就成了众人瞩目的焦点，所有人都是把目光看向了他，因为他是和凯瑟琳一起进来的。
对于凯瑟琳的高贵和骄傲，大厅内的很多人都知道，所以他们非常疑惑，凯瑟琳怎么会带着一个华夏人进来，这里可是欧洲十大家族的聚会。
“好强大的气息。” 李清风眼神一凝，从眼前这些人身上感受到一股强大的气息。
李清风发现，这些少爷和小姐虽然年纪不大，但是实力都是非常强横，最少的都是先天境巅峰，很多都是宗师境。
甚至从某个角落里面还散发着修真者的气息，这让李清风眉头微蹙。
眼前的这些人不愧是天神盟十大家族的人，实力真是强大，要知道这种人放在外面，最少都是一方霸主。
这时候，一个长得身材高大的年轻男子走了过来，他有着金色短发，蓝色的眼睛，只是脸色带着冷酷。
“华夏小子，这是我们欧洲天神盟的聚会，你来这里干吗？” 金色短发男子语气不满，对李清风意见很大。
“你是谁，我来这里管你什么事？” 李清风眉头一蹙，直接顶了回去。
对于眼前的金色短发男子，李清风心里也是不爽，我刚来到晚宴你就来找我麻烦，这不是找事吗？
“华夏小子，我是鳄鱼家族的大少爷，我劝你离凯瑟琳远一点，你这种华夏的穷鬼是没有资格接近凯瑟琳的。” 金色短发男子一脸傲然的说道。
鳄鱼家族？
李清风眼中闪过一道寒光，说实话，他和这个家族矛盾很深，以前就曾经杀死过鳄鱼王，还有其他鳄鱼家族的人。
李清风没有想到，自己刚和凯瑟琳来到晚宴，第一个找自己麻烦的就是曾经的敌人，那个鳄鱼家族的人。
“你们家族的祖先是不是鳄鱼，现在都被做成了鳄鱼皮沙发，真是可怜。” 李清风冷冷一笑，讽刺了一句。
对于自己的敌人，李清风一向不会心慈手软，他今天来就是想看看这些十大家族的人有多厉害。
“你找死，敢侮辱我们鳄鱼家族。” 金色短发男子脸色一变，眼中出现一抹怒火。
金色短发男子脸色阴沉，眼中寒光闪烁，大步向着李清风走去，要给他一个深刻的教训。
“大家快看，鳄鱼家族的大少爷要教训华夏小子了。”
“华夏小子完蛋了，竟然敢和鳄鱼大少爷作对，真是不知道怎么死的。”
“不错，鳄鱼大少爷最为凶残，喜欢把人杀死，或者是砍断胳膊，扔到鳄鱼池中喂鳄鱼。”
周围的人都是议论纷纷，眼中满是戏虐，能够看到华夏小子吃瘪，他们心里还是非常高兴。
凯瑟琳想要阻止，但是李清风摆了摆手，让她不要阻止，他要看看鳄鱼大少爷的实力。
“紫蝠魔王，你去和这个家伙过两招。” 李清风并没有亲自和鳄鱼大少爷战斗，而是对着身边的紫蝠魔王说道。
说完之后，李清风还拿起旁边桌子上的红酒喝了起来，如果是鳄鱼家族的族长或者是老祖来了，李清风可能会亲自出手，现在只是一个大少爷，李清风没必要出手。
“是。” 紫蝠魔王点了点头，向着前面走去，替李清风出战。
“华夏小子，你敢侮辱我，让你身边的人和我战斗？” 鳄鱼大少爷脸色阴冷，感觉肺部都要气炸了。
鳄鱼大少爷可是鳄鱼家族的人，是天神盟十大家族之一，在欧洲拥有者巨大的势力，现在竟然被李清风轻视了。
李清风喝了一口红酒，淡淡道：你太弱了，没有资格跟我交手，如果你能打败紫蝠魔王再说。
“好好好，我就打败紫蝠魔王，然后在狠揍你一顿。” 鳄鱼大少爷被李清风的话气笑了，一连说了三个好字。
“鳄鱼少爷，这个青年很帅，姐姐我看上了，你可不要把他打坏了。” 突然，一个娇媚的声音说道。
说话的是一个二十多岁的女孩，女孩长得很漂亮，脸蛋娇媚中透着红润，皮肤白嫩中透着诱或，蓝色的眼睛好似宝石，巨大的胸口露出一抹雪白。
娇媚女孩名叫艾薇儿，是欧洲蝙蝠家族的大小姐，她看上了紫蝠魔王。
不仅是华夏有蝙蝠家族，欧洲也有蝙蝠家族。
艾薇儿作为欧洲蝙蝠家族的大小姐，从紫蝠魔王身上感受到了蝙蝠先祖的气息，这让她非常迷恋，已经喜欢上了紫蝠魔王。
听到艾薇儿的话，鳄鱼少爷脸色一变，说道：这家伙是华夏人，你是欧洲十大家族的大小姐，怎么能够看上他。
“鳄鱼少爷，反正我不管，如果你敢打伤这个帅哥，我跟你没完，他是姐姐看中的人，我一定要把他征服。” 艾薇儿伸出猩红的舌头，舔了舔自己的娇艳红唇，笑眯眯的说道。
紫蝠魔王眉头微蹙，眼中出现一抹不满，他可是十大魔王之一，还觉醒了紫蝠血脉，是华夏蝙蝠之王的血脉，非常讨厌这两个人的话。
“长得像鳄鱼的家伙，要战斗快点战斗，别婆婆妈妈。” 紫蝠魔王瞥了鳄鱼少爷一眼，一脸不满的说道。
“好小子，既然你找死，我就成全你。” 鳄鱼少爷脸色阴沉，大步向着紫蝠魔王走去，他走路的气势很大，每走一步，地面就是发出一声震颤。

For the noble and pride of Catherine, many people in the hall had noticed. So, they were very confused. Why did Catherine bring someone from Huaxia here? This was the party for the ten families of Tiger Continent.
"Such strong presence." Qingfeng Li's face became as he felt very powerful presence on these men in front of him.
Qingfeng Li noticed that these Young Masters and Young Mistresses were though young, are very powerful. They were at least at the peak state Higher Heaven, and many were grandmasters.
From one corner, there was even the scent of self-cultivator which made Qingfeng Li frowned.
These one in front were no doubt from the ten families of Sky Gods League, very powerful indeed. If these kinds of people were outside, they were at least the most powerful in one place.
At this time, a young man who was very tall came forward. He had blonde short hair and blue eyes, flashing a chilling light.
"Kid from Huaxia, this is the party for the Tiger Continent's Sky Gods League. What are you doing here?" The blonde man sounded unsatisfied with Qingfeng Li.
"Who are you? Why am I here is none of your business." Qingfeng Li frowned and argued back.
Qingfeng Li was not in a bad mood facing the blonde short hair man in front of him. I just came to the dinner party and you were looking for trouble for me.
"Kid from Huaxia, I am the Young Master of the Gator Clan. I am giving you a piece of advice. Get away from Catherine. Someone poor like you from Huaxia have no qualification of getting close to Catherine." The man with blonde short hair said arrogantly.
The Gator Clan?
A cold light reflected in Qingfeng Li's eyes. To be honest, he had deep contradiction with this clan. He used to kill the Crocodile King and some other people from the Gator Clan.
Qingfeng Li never thought of coming to the dinner party with Catherine, the first person trying to find trouble was some old enemy from the Gator Clan.
"Isn't your clan's ancestor a gator? Now he has already been made of gator-skin sofa. How poor is that." Qingfeng Li sneered and said with satire.
Qingfeng Li would never be soft-hearted to his own enemies. Today he was here to see how powerful the people from the ten families are.
"You are looking for death. How dare you humiliating my clan?!" The look on the man with short blonde hair's face changed with anger surging in his eyes.
The blonde-short-hair man's face became gloomy as chilling light flsahed in his eyes. He walked towards Qingfeng Li and was ready to teach him a lesson.
"Everyone look. The Young Master from the Gator Clan is trying to teach the Huaxia kid a lesson."
"The Huaxia kid is done. How dare him trying to be the enemy of the Young Master Gator. He won't know how he will die."
"Very well, Young Master Gator is the most vicious of all. He loved to kill people or cut off the arms and throw into the pond full of crocodiles to feed the gators."
Everyone around were discussing, with the playful look. It was glad for them to see the Huaxia kid get beaten.
Catherine tried to stop but Qingfeng Li waved his hand, asking her not to stop. He wanted to see the power of Young Master Gator.
"Purple Bat Demon King, go try this guy." Qingfeng Li was planning on fighting Young Master Gator himself and said to Purple Bat Demon King beside him.
After saying that, Qingfeng Li started to drink the red wine on the table next to him. If it was the master of the Gator Clan or the old ancestor, Qingfeng Li might fight himself. But it was just a Young Master, thus, Qingfeng Li had no need to fight himself.
"Of course," Purple Bat Demon King nodded and walked forward to fight for Qingfeng Li.
"Huaxia kid, how dare you humiliating me, letting the guy beside you to fight me?" The look on Young Master Gator's face was gloomy and he seemed like his lung was blowing due to anger.
Young Master Gator was from the Gator Clan, one of the ten families of Sky Gods League and had enormous influence in the Tiger Continent. Yet, he had been looked down by Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li drank some wine and said, "You are too weak so you are qualified to fight me."
"Sure, sure, sure. I will defeat him first and then I will punch you in the face." Young Master Gator was too angry that he started to laugh and said three "sure" at once.
"Young Master Gator, this young man is handsome, your Young Mistress I have a crush on him. Don't break him." Suddenly, a coquettish voice started to talk.
The one talking was a girl about twenty years old who was very beautiful. Her pretty face was full of red light and her white and smooth skin was full of temptation. Her blue eyes were like gems and her snow white chest were too eye-catching .
The pretty girl's name was Avril, the young miss of Tiger Continent's Bat Clan. She admired Purple Bat Demon King.
Not only Huaxia had Bat clan, Tiger Continent also had Bat clan.
As the Miss of Tiger Continent's Bat Clan, Avril felt the scent of bat ancestor on Purple Bat Demon King's body which made her fascinated about it. She had fell for Purple Bat Demon King.
Hearing what Avril said, the look on Young Master Gator's face changed and said, "This guy is from Huaxia and you are the Young Mistress of one of Tiger Continent's top ten clans. How could you have a crush on him?"
"Young Master Gator, this is none of your business. If you dare hurting this handsome man, you and I will not be finished. He's the one that I admire, I will conquer him." Avril extended her red tongue and licked her red lips. She said with a smile.
Purple bat Demon King frowned with discontented on his face. He was one of the ten Demon Kings and had awakened the bloodline of Purple bat, which is the bloodline of the Bat King of Huaxia. He hated the words of these two men.
"Some gator-looking guy, if you want to fight come fight, why are you talking so much?" Purple bat Demon King glanced at crocodile Young Master Gator and said with a face of dissatisfaction.
"Good boy, if you are looking for death, I will grant your wish." Young Master Gator looked gloomy and walked towards Purple Bat Demon King in large steps. He walked with an imposing manner. Every step he took, the ground trembled.

Moreover, the two of them were on different sides at the moment and everything she did was very normal.\n\"You're the sect leader of the Demon Gate here, right?\" Qing Shui let himself calm down.\n\"Is anything wrong?\" asked Tantai Lingyan.\nQing Shui gave it some thought before he looked at her. He was puzzled. \"How much of the past do you remember?\"\nTantai Lingyan didn't reply Qing Shui. She frowned, \"What matters made you look for me?\"\n\"I'm asking you a question. How much of the past do you remember?\" Qing Shui frowned.\nQing Shui's voice was deep and a little cold, causing Tantai Lingyan to be stunned for a moment. No one had dared to speak to her like this; she wasn't used to it. Wearing a frown on her beautiful forehead, she said, \"If there's nothing important, then I'm leaving. One more thing. Don't look for me in the future. I'll make a move against you next time.\"\nQing Shui smiled and looked at her. \"I'm your man. Have you forgotten even this? Make a move against me? Have you forgotten that you pierced a sword through me last time? Look at how you've become now. In the past, you were very kind. How did you become like this?\"\nTantai Lingyan appeared aloof as she looked at Qing Shui. It was as if she were looking at a person who was completely unrelated to her.\n\"You've dealt serious injuries to the Divine Palace's Palace Lord. If it wasn't because I've treated him, he would’ve definitely died. Go on, tell me. What are you doing this for? I can help you achieve what you want.\" Qing Shui's voice sounded a little hoarse.\n\"It's nothing strange for there to be injuries in a fight between the Demon Gate and the Divine Palace. Is it really something weird? What am I doing this for? How can there possibly be so many whys?\" Tantai Lingyan seemed a little lost when asked for the reason.\n\"Let's do this. We'll have a fight. If you were to lose, then return to my side and listen to me until you've recovered your memories. What do you think?\" Qing Shui gave it some thought before saying.\n\"You won't be able to win against me.\" Tantai Lingyan shook her head, exuding strong confidence.\nQing Shui felt very gloomy. This woman had lost all of her memories about the two of them. Not only did she not remember him, but she no longer remembered the people related to him, either.\n\"How would we know without trying?\" Qing Shui looked at her, trying to prod her into accepting his request.\n\"If you're able to win against me, you'll naturally be able to kill me. Would you still have to go through so much trouble like this?\" Tantai Lingyan looked at Qing Shui and said.\n\"That's right. I can do that. But you're my woman. No matter how bad you've become, I don't wish to hurt you. I have two Heartmatched Fruits here. In fact, everything will be fine as long as I let you eat this, but I feel that it’s unfair toward you. However, you've lost all memories about me and this doesn't seem to be fair toward me either.\"\nThe Heartmatched Fruits were Heavenly Fruits that didn't provide one with any additional abilities. Each time, the tree would produce two fruits. As long as a couple ate the two fruits together, they would fall in love and their love for each other would be never-changing. This was why this fruit was so precious.\nTantai Lingyan looked at the fruits in Qing Shui's hands and looked at him. \"I don't know if what you've said is real, I don't feel that I've lost my memories, nor do I want to know if what you've said is the truth or not. Moreover, I don't wish to fight or spar against you. I'm not interested in the condition you have raised either.\"\nQing Shui looked at Tantai Lingyan who didn't seem to be able to accept anything he said. He rubbed his head and said outright, \"At most, we'll start all over again. Right now, I'm going to start afresh. I'll definitely make you fall in love with me.\"\nTantai Lingyan was stunned and she looked at Qing Shui with a strange expression. It was as if she suddenly recalled that she was a woman and that this man was trying to pursue her. She was a Demon Lord, the leader of Demon Kings. There hadn't been anyone who had tried to pursue her, nor had she ever thought about having a relationship.\nShe had been like this in the past, but Qing Shui was an exception in her life. In the past, she had almost become no different from an ordinary woman. However, now that she had lost all her memories regarding Qing Shui, everything returned to how it had been.\n\"Then you can just continue to wait!\" After saying that, Tantai Lingyan turned to leave.\n\"Lingyan, the scenery here isn't bad and there aren't any outsiders here. It's been a long while since we've been intimate. Why don't we...\" Qing Shui looked at Tantai Lingyan with a teasing smile.\n\"Are you trying to force me to kill you?\" Tantai Lingyan said coldly to Qing Shui after hearing what he said.\n\"You don't believe that I'm the only man you've ever loved. If you were to kill me and then regained your memories one day, you'll commit suicide. Even after committing suicide, you might still not forgive yourself. If you don't believe me, you can ask Old Turtle. You should believe in what he says,\" Qing Shui said.\n\"If it wasn't because he had said something similar to me, do you think that you would be able to live until now?\" Tantai Lingyan said outright.\n\"Oh, then it means you also believe that I'm your man.\" Qing Shui smiled.\n\"I do, but I've lost my memories. I don't like you nor do I recognize you. Right now, I'm no longer the same person I was in the past. Therefore, you shouldn't act like I am the same person you've known me to be. What do you think?\" It was rare that Tantai Lingyan's tone had softened.\nTantai Lingyan had made a big detour in her words, but Qing Shui understood what she meant. He said helplessly, \"Then, can we be friends? After all, I've chased you for a few decades before you agreed to become mine. Don't you think that you're being too cruel to me like this?\"\n\"You're a Battle God and I'm a Demon Lord. How can we be friends?\" Tantai Lingyan asked.\n\"You were also a Demon King in the past, but you were very rational. Why have you become so foolish now? You're really a foolish woman,\" Qing Shui sighed.\n\"I'm the Demon Gate's sect leader, and you lead a bunch of Battle Gods. Do you think it's possible for us to become friends?\"\n\"There are no friendships that last forever, nor are there people who will forever be foes. Anything is possible. Why don't we call a truce for now? This is only the Middle Three Regions and there's still the Upper Three Regions. There are too many powerful forces in the Nine Continents, and the Demon Gate and Divine Palace are just two of them. Shall we fight after you've become the sect leader of the Nine Continents Demon Gate? Right now, both of us are insignificant characters so what's there for us to fight? It's really embarrassing. If those strong people were to see this, they'll definitely think that we're foolish, foolish woman.”\n\"You're the foolish man! You're the one who's a great fool!\" Tantai Lingyan shouted toward Qing Shui angrily.\nWhen Qing Shui saw Tantai Lingyan appear a little infuriated, he smiled and said happily, \"You're really petty. You don't even know that I'm actually complimenting you. Women are cuter when they are foolish. Look at how you always carry a cold look on your face as if everyone owes you money. Who are you showing that long face to? Come on, lass, give me a smile.\"\nTantai Lingyan was thrown into a mess. This man was extremely flippant. She still remembered the last time she met him, as well as the time she thrust a sword through him. However, the current him seemed to appear completely different.\n\"If you really wish to receive a beating, I won't mind beating you up.\"\nTantai Lingyan got to know many things from the old turtle. Otherwise, she wouldn't have met Qing Shui given her character, nor would she allow herself to be pestered by Qing Shui for so long.\nIn fact, Qing Shui had noticed this as well. This was also why he was acting so unrestrained. This made him feel that his chances were still quite high."

第2407章
青水现在看着澹台凌颜，她问自己找她有什么事情，他很想问她现在做的这一切都是她自己想做的吗，可是想想她不认识自己，自己凭什么说她，再说了，两人现在是两个阵营的人，这一切做的也是很正常的事情。
“你现在是这里魔门的门主吧。” 青水让自己平静下来。
“有什么不对吗？” 澹台凌颜问道。
青水想了想不解的看着她：“你对以前的事情还记得多少？”
澹台凌颜没有回答青水，皱眉：“你找我有什么事情？”
“我问你话，你还记得以前多少事情？” 青水皱眉。
青水这声音低沉有点大声，让澹台凌颜一愣，还真没有人敢和自己这般说话，她很不适应，皱了皱那好看的额头：“没什么事情，我走了，还有，以后不要来找我，下次我会对你动手的。” 澹台凌颜的神色很冷，冷如冰霜。
青水笑了，笑着看着她：“我是你的男人，难道这个你都能忘，对我动手，你上次刺我的一剑难道忘了，你看看你现在成什么样子了，曾经的你很善良，怎么会变成这个样子。”
澹台凌颜无动于衷，冷冰冰的看着青水，似乎再看一个不相干的人。
“你把神殿殿主达成了重伤，如果不是我医治他，一定会死，说吧到底为了什么，我可以帮你实现。” 青水的嗓子都有点哑。
“魔门和神殿之间打伤人不足为奇，有那么奇怪吗，我为了什么，哪有那么多为什么。” 澹台凌颜说道为了什么似乎有点迷茫。
“不如这样吧，我们打一场，如果你输了就回到我身边，听我的好吗，直到你恢复记忆。” 青水想了想说道。
“你打不赢我的。” 澹台凌颜摇摇头，散发出强大的自信。
青水很郁闷，这个女人把关于自己的和自己一切的记忆都消失了，不但不记得自己，和自己有关系的人也不记的了。
“不试试怎么知道。” 青水激将的看着她。
“如果你能打赢我，自然可以杀了我，那样还用费这么大的事情吗。” 澹台凌颜看着青水说道。
“是啊，本来可以的，可是你是我的女人，你就是在变再坏，我都不想伤害你，我这里有两颗同心果，其实只要让你吃了这个什么都就好了，但我感觉对你不公平，可是现在你失去了对我的所有记忆，这似乎也不公平。” 青水说着还拿出了两颗同心果。
同心果是神果子，这东西不加任何能力，一颗每次结果两颗，只要让一次结出的两个果子让两个人吃掉，这两个人就会相爱，永不变心，这果子贵就贵在这里。
澹台凌颜看着青水手里的果子，看看青水：“我不知道你说的是真是假，我也没有感觉自己失忆，也不想知道你说的是真是假，还有我也不想和你打，不想和你比试，对你提出的条件也没有兴趣。”
青水看着油盐不进的澹台凌颜，揉揉脑袋直接说道：“大不了从头开始，我现在重新开始，我一定会让你爱上我。”
澹台凌颜一愣，古怪的看着青水，她突然想起来自己是个女人一样，这个男人要追自己，自己是个魔王，是个魔王的首领，从没有人追求过自己，她也没有想过男女之情。
他以前就是这样，只是遇到了青水是个例外，曾经她几乎都快要和一个正常的女人没有什么区别了，现在失去了对青水的记忆，一切又回到了原样。
“那你就等着吧！” 澹台凌颜说完就准备离开。
“那个凌颜，你看这里的景色不错，又没有外人，我们也好久没有亲热了，不如……”青水暧昧的看着澹台凌颜笑着。
“你是不是逼我杀了你。” 澹台凌颜听到青水的话直接冷冷的说道。
“你不相信我是唯一爱过的男人，如果你杀了我，有一天你恢复了记忆，你会自杀，甚至自杀你都不会原谅你自己，不信你可以问问龟老，你应该相信他。” 青水说道。
“如果不是他说过和你类似的话，你以为你能活到现在。” 澹台凌颜直接说道。
“啊，这么说来，你也相信我是你的男人。” 青水笑了。
“信，但我失意了，我也不喜欢你，也不认识你，我现在可以说已经不是之前的我了，所以你不应该让我和你认识的那个我一样，你说呢？” 澹台凌颜语气居然难得缓和了一些。
青水被她饶了一下口舌，但还是听懂了，无奈的说道：“那我们能不能像个朋友一样相处，毕竟我追了你几十年你才答应我的，你这样做不觉得对我太残酷了吗。”
“你是战神，我是魔王，怎么做朋友？”
澹台凌颜说道。 “之前你也是魔王，但你很理智，现在怎办么就变得这么蠢了，真是个蠢女人。”
青水感慨道。 “我是魔门门主，你带着一棒子战神，做朋友，可能吗？”
澹台凌颜并没有在之前的蠢女人问题上和青水计较。 “没有永远的朋友也没有永远的敌人，什么事情都有可能的，大家暂时握手言和怎么样，这里才是中三域，还有上三域，九州的强大实力太多了，魔门和神殿也只是其中之一，等有一天你成了九州魔门的门主了，那时候我们再打好不好，现在我们都是不入流的小角色，有什么好斗的，丢人啊，让那些大人物看见，一定感觉我们都是蠢人，蠢女人，蠢女人。”
“你才是蠢男人，蠢死了。”
澹台凌颜气呼呼的向着青水喊道。 青水看着澹台凌颜有点气愤的样子很开心的笑道：“小肚鸡肠，夸你都不知道，女人还是蠢点可爱，你看看你整天冰冷着一张脸，好想谁都欠你一两银子一样，摆着个臭脸给谁看呢，来，小妞笑一个。”
澹台凌颜凌乱了，这个男人一下子就这么轻浮无比，她还记得上次见他的时候样子，自己刺他的时候也记得，但和现在的他似乎完全不一样了。
“你要真想挨揍，我不介意揍你一顿。”
澹台凌颜从老龟哪里知道很多事情，不然以她的性子是不会见青水的，也不会和他在这里胡搅蛮缠这么多。
其实青水也发现了这点，所以才这么的肆无忌惮，这让他感觉希望还是不小的。

Tantai Lingyan got to know many things from the old turtle. Otherwise, she wouldn't have met Qing Shui given her character, nor would she allow herself to be pestered by Qing Shui for so long.
In fact, Qing Shui had noticed this as well. This was also why he was acting so unrestrained. This made him feel that his chances were still quite high.

All the way till he returned to his residence, he’d been in constant disbelief over what had just happened. Everything was unbelievable, however despite this, the fire dragon’s hide on his neck was very real.\nThis item that was worth nearly ten million coins had been scrunched up into a bundle by Mountainsea, and had been handed over to him as a gift. Richard opened it up and laid it over a huge worktable, caressing it gently.\nSpread out, the dark red hide which had bright patterns threaded throughout it was nearly two square metres in size, taking up most of the table. Despite the magic lamp that emitted a light as bright as sunlight, the faint red luster which the hide emitted could still be seen, wafting off from the its surface like mist. When Richard stroked the hide, he could feel a boiling heat from the tip of his fingers.\nA large amount of data surged out as Richard’s hands came in contact with the hide, allowing him to grow familiar with its properties. This was the most precious material that he had ever touched in his life, and if he were to use this hide as a material for his rune, many of his plans could become reality. With its help, he was at least 30% sure that he could make a rune powerful enough that it would allow the snow rabbit to win over the winter wolf. However, at least to Richard the origin of this skin remained a mystery.\nHonestly, Richard was very willing to befriend Mountainsea, although becoming her man was another story. For now, however, he still was unsure of her true intentions.\nHis heart told him the barbarian girl was simple and sincere. On the other hand, the wisdom and logic he’d formed after many years warned that there must have been some kind of conspiracy behind her actions.\nRichard had his own principles and thoughts. Although he wanted to become friends with Mountainsea, he wasn’t going to use any of that vast wealth of hers. His mother had moulded his ethics when he was young, and the shadow of Gaton Archeron loomed over him in the present.\n“Every Archeron has a burning arrogance inside them. Rather than asking for help from others, they would rather use their own two hands to break new ground. Of course, this comes with pros and cons. The cons are that the Archerons will forever find it difficult to band together. However, the pros are that every successful Archeron will be feared by others.”\nSilvermoon elves were obviously proud as well, but it came with detachment and arrogance. The pursuance of perfection which came from their very blood made it difficult for them to see anything else.\nThese two different kinds of pride mixed into one within Richard, and he himself had no idea whether he was more like the silvermoon elves or the Archerons.\nHe rolled up the hide once more and set out to seal the magic material. Unless he kept it in a semi-plane, if the hide was not sealed and stored with magic, the magical force within it would gradually dissipate. At this moment, however, Richard found that there was a slight power flowing around the dragonhide, which he immediately linked to the barbarian girl through its desolate aura. She hadn’t added any forces to the hide when she’d used it as a shawl, only doing so when she gifted it to Richard to ensure that the magic inside wouldn’t dissipate. Who knew that someone who charged around everywhere without regard could be so attentive?\nRichard subconsciously flashed a small smile. He then cautiously placed it on the top rack of the magic material warehouse.\nThat afternoon, his schedule was filled with classes. However time flew by, and soon enough it was lunchtime. Richard saw lunch and dinner everyday as a battle. Although his diet was no longer modulated by the legendary mage herself, it was still being modified every now and then by the best alchemist of the Deepblue. The similarity between the two was that the ingredients used were equally expensive, and the portions equally astounding, which was why two strong, tanned slaves were now needed to bring him his meals.\nReturning to the residence, Richard was surprised to see Mountainsea waiting for him at his door. Behind her were only Steelrock, the old man, and two court guards. After bringing the girl and her people inside, Richard’s lunch was also sent over by two tanned slaves.\nAfter the food was arranged properly, the girl immediately made a squeal of enjoyment and sat by the table, “Treat me to a meal! Treat me to a meal!”\n“Of course!” Richard replied, wanting to be friends with her. He also called out to Steelrock and the old man, but was tactfully rejected by the barbarian warriors. The gigantic Steelrock seemed to treat everyone with disdain, but it looked like he had a good attitude towards Richard.\nMountainsea looked at the empty plates, and even she felt a little sorry, “Ah, while this place isn’t all that good in other areas, the food is not bad!”\nThe girl stood up and pulled at Richard, saying, “How about you come to my camp? My people went to the sea to fish last night. If you go now, you can eat sharks and even devil whales!”\n“You don’t stay in the Deepblue?” Richard was rather curious.\n“Of course not! What’s good about this place? You can only see the mountains and seas outside through such a tiny window. I like being able to see the sky right after I wake up. Floe Bay is actually very magnificent and almost measures up to my hometown. Why do you hole yourself up in such a tiny cage?”\nForget winter, even at the beginning of spring or late in autumn people freeze to death here,\nhe’d wanted to say, but from the looks of it the girl had no idea about what cold was.\nRichard could only refuse her invitation, “No, I have to meet Master this afternoon.”\nMountainsea made a sound of surprise and suddenly remembered, stating, “I have an appointment with her this afternoon too— I’d almost forgot about that. Actually, it doesn’t matter whether I see her, but since you’re going, let’s go together!”\nThough there was still some time before the appointment, Richard had no plans to get food elsewhere. He could only use the internal communications system and ask the people who sent meals over to bring a few light refreshments when they came to clean up. He then found a place with a wide view by the large French window and began to chat with Mountainsea.\nThe girl talked about the glory of the barbarian world. From her narrations, Richard learnt that they lived on a huge island at the east of Norland called the Desolate Continent. This was because in terms of surface area, it could already be considered a continent. The native tribes that lived there called this continent Klandor, the Land of the New Heroes.\nRichard also mentioned the great life he’d had in Rooseland. Although it was the life of people who lived at the very bottom in the continent, Mountainsea listened on with keen interest.\nAt this point, Steelrock and the old man had completed touring Richard’s residence once.\nSteelrock’s gaze swept through the various magic materials and books, even secretly taking a thick and dull ‘Planar Geometry’ book from the bookshelf and flipping through it. There were many notes wedged inside, in which Richard had written his thoughts. Every note only had one or two lines, but there were a fair number of them accumulated throughout the book. Steelrock placed the book back and used his fingers that were as thick as a steel pillar and lightly grasped a book on magic theory. After flipping through it, he found a similar set of notes and nodded, before pushing it back on the bookshelf. Compared to normal humans, Steelrock was basically a giant, but his current movements were surprisingly agile, not leaving behind a single trace.\nThe old man stood in front of Richard’s work table, bending over as he looked carefully at one of Richard’s incomplete ideas for a rune. The large parchment paper spread on the table was filled with countless numbers and formulas, as well as two rough drawings of parts of a magic formula. The final structure was yet to be completed, and there was still some calculations and validating formulas to be done. An incomplete concept like this was something no runemaster would be interested in taking another look at. Yet, the old man stood still in front of the table, as if he had a great interest in these dull numbers.\nSteelrock headed to the old man’s side and glanced at the table. Obviously unimpressed by the numbers, he immediately began to frown. “This is a rune? It’s far from our saint totems. This kid is diligent, frugal, and disciplined, but he’s quite poor. This rune seems incomplete. Look, there’s a fatal flaw here in this formula.”\nThe old man shook his head, “Whether an eagle can soar into the blue skies is obvious from the moment it flaps its wings from its nest.”\nSteelrock rubbed his gigantic palms together, “This kid will be an eagle in the future?”\nThe old man did not answer, and instead said, “It’s time to meet Her Excellency, Sharon.”"

章四十八
仲夏狂欢之夜，亦成为在李察心中留下浓重烙印的一个时刻。 直到回到居住区，他依然有些难以置信刚刚发生过的事。 所有的一切都是如此的不可思议，可是手里的火龙颈皮却是实实在在的。
这幅价值千万的火龙颈皮，就被山与海胡乱卷成一团，硬当作礼物塞给了他。 李察把颈皮打开，铺放在宽大的工作台，用手轻轻抚摸着。
火龙颈皮足有近两个平方米，铺开后占据了大半张台子。 它整体呈暗红色，又有丝丝缕缕鲜红纹路，完整铺开后皮面竟透出隐隐的红色光芒，即使在明亮如日光的魔法灯下，都丝毫盖不掉那种濛濛雾气般有若实质的光芒。 当李察的手抚过时，指尖都能感受到灼热的火焰力量。
这幅火龙颈皮是李察一生中触摸过的最珍贵的材料，随着他的手抚过，大量数据不断涌出，让李察对它的特性越来越熟悉。 如果用这张皮作原料，李察的许多设想都会变成现实，至少能有三成的把握作出强大到足以让雪兔战胜冬狼的魔纹构装。
其实李察很愿意和山与海成为朋，当然作她的男人是另外一回事。 可是现在，他依然不能确定山与海的真正意思。
如果用心，可以感觉到蛮族少女的真诚与质朴。 但如果用人类多年形成的智慧和理智，却会认为少女此举背后必然有阴谋。
而李察有自己的原则和思考方式，那就是和山与海成为朋，却不准备动用她那山与海般的财富。 他虽然年纪还小，但思想和原则的大框架已由伊兰妮在童年塑造完成，并且多少受到了歌顿.阿克蒙德阴影的影响。
在被送往深蓝之前，歌顿.阿克蒙德曾经说过一句让李察印象深刻的话：“每个阿克蒙德的心底都有一种沸腾的骄傲，他们宁可用自己的双手去开拓出一片天地，也不愿意借助他人的力量。 这有利有弊。
银月精灵当然也是骄傲，不过是冷漠的高傲。 来自血脉的对完美的追求，让他们很难看到其它。
两种不同的骄傲在李察身混为一体，他自己也说不清楚是偏向银月精灵多些，还是偏向阿克蒙德多些。
这缕力量是她把龙皮送给李察时附加其的，以保护龙皮魔力不散。 而把这东西当披肩时，她可没附加什么力量，纯是当成普通兽皮用的。 没想到这个横冲直撞的家伙，也有细心的一面啊！
李察不自觉的浮一丝微笑，细心将火龙颈皮封存好，然后把它小心地放到仓库内魔法材料架最层。
每天的午饭和晚餐，李察都是以战斗的心情来对待的。 现在他的食谱不再是传奇法师特别调制了，不过仍然由深蓝中最高级的炼金师隔一段时间做些调整，共同的特点是耗材昂贵、份量惊人，所以每次送饭的人手已经增加到了两个，而且是大力的黑肤奴隶。
然而回到居住区时，李察却意外地看到山与海已经在门口等着他了。 她身后只跟着钢岩、老人和两名宫廷禁卫。
餐盒摆好后，少女立刻欢叫一声，自行在桌旁坐下，向李察说：“请我吃个饭！ 请我吃个饭！”
李察还是很希望有朋的。 他又招呼钢岩和老人，却被蛮族武士婉转拒绝了。 巨人般的钢岩几乎对所有人都摆出一张不屑的臭脸，但对李察的态度却还不错。
山与海看着空空如也的餐具，自己也感觉到有些不好意思，说：“啊，这里虽然其它方面都不怎么样，可是食物的确不错！”
少女站起来，一把拉住李察，说：“这样，你跟我到我的营地去。 我的族人们昨晚就下海捕鱼去了，现在过去，你可以吃到鲨鱼和魔鲸。”
“你不住在深蓝？” 李察有些好奇。
我喜欢醒来时睁开眼睛就能看到天空。 其实浮冰海湾很壮丽，比我的家乡只差那么一点点而已，为什么你们要把自己关在这么狭小的笼子里呢？” 看着表情真挚的山与海，李察又是无奈，又是有些好笑。
他本想说这里用不着到冬天，就是初春深秋在野外露宿也会冻死人的。
可是看少女的样子，恐怕根本就不知道冷是什么。
不过对于山与海的邀请，李察只能婉拒：“不行，下午要去见老师。”
山与海咦了一声，突然想起来什么，恍然说：“我也和她约在下午，差点给忘了。 其实见不见她没什么区别，但是既然你也要去，那么到时间就一起去！”
距离约定的时刻还有一点时间，李察也不打算再换地方觅食，只是用内部通讯器让送饭人来收餐具时，顺便再带几份点心过来，便和山与海在大大的落地窗边，找了个视野开阔的位置开始聊了起来。
少女讲述了许多蛮族世界的风光，由她的讲述中李察知道，蛮族生活在诺兰德东方的一座大岛。 其实论面积，它已经可以称为一片大陆了，所以也被称为蛮荒大陆。 在蛮荒大陆生活的土著部落则把这片大陆称之为卡兰多，意为英雄辈出之地。
而李察也讲了很多鲁瑟兰村的风光生活，这是大陆最底层民众的生活，山与海却听得津津有味。
这时钢岩与老人已把李察的居住区整个转了一圈。
钢岩的目光逐一扫过各类魔法材料和魔法藉，甚至偷偷从架抽了一本厚而枯燥的《位面几何》出来，打开翻了几页。 这本中夹了许多便签，面都是李察写下的一些心得。
因此铺开在桌面的大幅羊皮纸全是密密麻麻的数字和公式，偶尔有两个魔法阵的局部草图。 这样一幅连构想都没有完善的作品，任何一个构装师可能都不会有兴趣多看一眼，可是老人站在工作台前，由始至终都没有动过，似乎对这些枯燥乏味的数字有莫大的兴趣。
这时钢岩走到老人身边，向工作台扫了一眼，就开始皱眉，明显对这些数字有些不以为然，说：“这是魔纹构装？ 和我们的圣者图腾比就差得远了。
老人摇了摇头，说：“一头雄鹰长大后能否翱翔蓝天，从它在巢中振翼的时候就能看出来了。”
钢岩搓着一双巨大的手掌，说：“这小子将来会是头雄鹰？”
对于这个问题，老人却没有回答，而是说：“是去见苏海伦殿下的时间了。”

第583章
“还是美nv姐姐你最好，不像魅儿老婆和媚媚老婆那么xiǎo气。” 夏天嘻嘻一笑，顺手便将叶梦莹搂进怀里，然后将她抱了起来，平放在床上，“美nv姐姐，我先帮你施针了哦！”
“嗯！” 叶梦莹点点头，“你想做什么都行。”
她其实早已决定，会做夏天的nv人，她也早就公开宣布，夏天是她的未婚夫，他们在一起做些正常情侣都会做的事情，其实是理所当然的，她之所以有点紧张和不适应，只不过是因为她以前连感情经历也没有，第一次经历这种场面，难免有那么点不太自在。
夏天心里微微有点炽热，美nv姐姐这完美的身段，让他心里有点炽热，不过，他很快便驱除了杂念，拿出两根银针，缓缓吐出一口气，而后，两根银针同时扎进叶梦莹身体里面。
逆天第四针，洗髓，再一次被施展出来。
夏天这已经是第四次施展逆天第四针，可谓是轻车熟路，整个过程自然也是相当顺利，大约一个xiǎo时之后，整个施针过程结束，不出意料的是，夏天的功力再次上涨了一些，而叶梦莹白皙的肌肤，此刻也都变得黑糊糊的。
夏天收回银针，然后对叶梦莹说道：“美nv姐姐，该洗澡啦！”
夏天，我，我有点不舒服，身上黏糊糊的，眼睛好像也睁不开……”叶梦莹有点不安的说道。
“美nv姐姐，你别怕，等我帮你洗完澡，你就没事了。” 夏天嘻嘻一笑，将叶梦莹抱了起来，然后便走进浴室。
夏天不紧不慢的帮叶梦莹洗着身体，当叶梦莹的肌肤被洗得干干净净之时，他那双带着一丝炽热的手掌，也在叶梦莹身上所有部位抚摸了数遍，而叶梦莹那黑乎乎的肌肤变成莹白之后，又开始渐渐泛着粉红，美眸也变得水汪汪的，轻轻的傲娇，也难以抑制的从喉咙里发了出来。
“美nv姐姐，洗完了，我们去床上吧？” 夏天在叶梦莹耳边笑嘻嘻的说道。
“嗯。” 叶梦莹已经闭上了眼睛，俏脸早已娇yànyù滴。
夏天抱着叶梦莹来到床边，将她轻轻放在床上，一切水到渠成，在叶梦莹一声痛楚的低yín之中，两人顺利的融为一体，这个江海市的nv首富，天南集团的nv总裁，终于在这个晚上，完成了人生中最重要的一次过度，成为了真正的nv人。
不知不觉，已经是深夜时分。
“老公，休息一下好不好？” 叶梦莹低低的央求着，她早已换了称呼，因为她觉得，现在夏天已经是她真正的男人，这个称呼更加合适一点。
夏天没有说话，因为他的嘴巴很忙，正含着叶梦莹的一颗葡萄呢！
一**的快感依然不停袭来，叶梦莹很快又再一次在惊涛骇làng中mí失，她的身体相当敏感，这个晚上已经无数次从灵yù的高峰跌落。
“老公，真的不可以了啦！” 一会后，叶梦莹又娇声央求起来，这个在外人面前表现得如冰山美人的nv总裁，此刻却已经开始在撒娇。
夏天终于停止了在叶梦莹身上的运动，却不是因为她的央求，而是这个时候突然传来了敲mén声。
“这么晚，是谁啊？” 叶梦莹轻声抱怨着。
“不理他。” 夏天嘟囔了一句，然后继续在叶梦莹身上耕耘。
“砰砰砰……”可敲mén声却一直没有停止。
“谁啊？” 夏天终于忍不住问道。
“送老婆来的哦！” mén口传来一个带着戏谑的声音，夏天马上就听了出来，这人正是伊莎贝拉。
听到这话，夏天一闪身便来到mén口，飞快将mén拉开，然后就把mén口的伊莎贝拉扯了进来，接着又飞快关上mén，抱着伊莎贝拉飞刀了床上。
“伊莎贝拉姐姐，你不是说把漂亮师姐老婆给我送回来的吗？ 怎么只有你一个人呢？”
伊莎贝拉妖媚一笑：“xiǎo老公，我可没这么说啊，我只是说送个老婆给你，你看，我这不是把自己送来了吗？”
“伊莎贝拉姐姐，欺骗老公是不对的，我要惩罚你！” 夏天更加不满了。
伊莎贝拉的笑容更加妩媚：“xiǎo老公，人家就是来让你惩罚的啊！”
叶梦莹这时已经认出伊莎贝拉就是中午在餐厅看到的那个紫发美nv，她这时总算明白，原来这个外国美nv也是夏天的nv人。
“也不知道老公到底有多少nv人。” 叶梦莹心里涌起一丝无奈的念头，无穷无尽的疲惫感却随之涌来，尽管旁边还有个nv人躺着，可叶梦莹居然还是就这么沉睡过去。
等叶梦莹再次醒来的时候，却已经是清晨，她发现自己正躺在夏天怀里，而她那两个高耸的部位，正被夏天握着，一丝丝异样的感觉，也从那里传来，然后蔓延到全身。
叶梦莹下意识的看了旁边一眼，却发现旁边是空的，那个叫伊莎贝拉的外国美nv并不在，这让她有点奇怪。
“美nv姐姐，你醒啦？” 夏天嘻嘻一笑，只是叶梦莹却不知道这家伙是刚醒呢还是整晚都没睡。
“她呢？” 叶梦莹忍不住问道。
“你说伊莎贝拉姐姐吗？” 夏天眨了眨眼睛，“她说杀了人，留在这里会有麻烦，所以就先走了。”
“啊？” 叶梦莹吃了一惊，“她，她杀了人？”
“对啊，伊莎贝拉姐姐本来就是杀手，杀人很正常的。” 夏天显得不以为意。
叶梦莹呆了一呆，伊莎贝拉居然是杀手？ 她昨晚岂不是跟杀手睡了半个晚上？
想到杀人，叶梦莹突然想起一个埋藏在自己心底的问题，便翻了个身，趴在夏天身上，很认真的看着他：“老公，我问你件事，你一定要实话告诉我。”
“美nv姐姐，什么事啊？”
“叶少杰和叶梦芸，他们两个人的死，跟你有没有关系？” 叶梦莹轻声问道，其实一见到夏天，叶梦莹就有点想问这件事，只是当时找不到好机会。

"Beautiful Sis, you're the best. You're not as stingy as Mei Er's wife and seductive wife." Xia Xinyan giggled as she pulled Ye Mengying into her embrace. Then, she lifted her up and laid her on the bed, "Beautiful sister, I'll give you some acupuncture needles first!"

In fact, she had already decided long ago that she would be a summer woman.

The heaven defying fourth needle, Purification, was once again executed.
The whole process was quite smooth, and after about an hour, the whole process of acupuncture was over. Not surprisingly, the power of the whole process had increased a little bit, and Ye Mengying's white skin had also turned black.
Summer took back the silver needles and said to Ye Mengying, "Sister beauty, it's time to take a bath!"
"Are you done? "Summer, I, I feel a little uncomfortable, my body is sticky, and my eyes don't seem to open …" Ye Mengying said with a bit of unease.
"Beautiful sister, don't be afraid. After I help you bathe, you'll be fine." Summer giggled, picked up Ye Mengying and walked into the bathroom.
He leisurely helped Ye Mengying wash her body. When Ye Mengying's skin was completely washed away, his hot palms also touched every part of her body a few times. After Ye Mengying's black skin turned bright white, it gradually turned pink and her eyes became watery.
"Beautiful sister, it's done. Shall we go to bed?" Summer whispered to Ye Mengying with a smile.
"Yes." Ye Mengying had already closed her eyes. Her pretty face was full of desire.
After a painful moan from Ye Mengying, the two of them blended into one. This female head of Jianghai City, the CEO of South Sky Group, had finally completed the most important event of her life, becoming a real woman.
Unknowingly, it was already late at night.
"Hubby, can you rest for a bit?" Ye Mengying pleaded in a low voice. She had already changed her name because she felt that now that summer was her real man, it was more appropriate to call her by that name.
Summer did not say anything, because his mouth was busy, and he was holding a grape of Ye Mengying's!
Wave after wave of pleasure kept attacking Ye Mengying. She quickly lost herself again in the stormy sea. Her body was very sensitive. This night, she had already fallen from the peak of spiritual desire countless times.
"Hubby, it's really out of the question!" A while later, Ye Mengying begged again in her sweet voice. This CEO who acted like a beauty in front of others had already started to act coquettishly.
Summer finally stopped the movement on Ye Mengying's body, but it wasn't because of her pleading, but because there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who is it so late?" Ye Mengying complained softly.
"Ignore him." Xia Xia muttered something and continued to plough on Ye Mengying's body.
"Bang, bang, bang …" However, the knocks never stopped.
"Who is it?" Summer finally couldn't help asking.
"It was to send my wife!" A mocking voice came from the door, which Summer immediately recognized as Isabella.
At these words, Summer flashed to the door, quickly pulled it open, then pulled Isabella in, then quickly closed the door and carried her throwing knife onto the bed.
"Sister Isabella, didn't you say to bring back the beautiful senior sister and wife back to me? Why are you alone? " Xia asked with a hint of dissatisfaction as he pressed Isabella's plump body beneath him.
Isabella smiled seductively, "My little husband, I didn't say that. I only said that I would give you a wife. Look, didn't I send myself?"
"Sister Isabella, lying to your husband is wrong, I want to punish you!" Summer was more discontented.
Isabella's smile became even more charming, "Young hubby, I'm here to let you punish me!"
At this time, Ye Mengying had already recognized that Isabella was the purple-haired beauty that she had seen in the dining room. She finally realized that this beautiful foreign woman was also a summer woman.
"I wonder how many women my husband actually has." Ye Mengying's heart was filled with a trace of helplessness and an endless sense of fatigue followed her. Although there was a woman lying beside her, Ye Mengying was still fast asleep.
When Ye Mengying woke up again, it was already early in the morning. She found herself in Xia Xinyan's arms, and her two towering legs were being held by her in the summer. A strange feeling spread from there to her whole body.
Ye Mengying subconsciously looked to the side, only to discover that it was empty. That foreign beauty called Isabella was not there, which made her feel a little strange.
"Beautiful sister, you're awake?" Summer giggled. Ye Mengying didn't know if he had just woken up or if he hadn't slept all night.
"What about her?" Ye Mengying could not help but ask.
"You mean Sister Isabella?" Xia Xia blinked, "She said that if she killed someone, there would be trouble staying here, so she left first."
"Huh?" Ye Mengying was shocked, "She, she killed someone?"
"That's right, Sister Isabella is an assassin, killing people is very normal." Summer didn't seem to mind.
Ye Mengying was stunned. Isabella was an assassin? Didn't she sleep with the killer last night?
Thinking about killing someone, Ye Mengying suddenly thought of a question that was buried deep in her heart. She turned around and lay on top of Xia Zhi, seriously looking at him, "Hubby, I want to ask you something. You must tell me the truth."
"Beautiful sister, what's the matter?" Summer was puzzled.
"Ye Shaojie and Ye Mengyun, is the death of those two related to you?" Ye Mengying asked in a soft voice. In fact, when she saw the summer, she always wanted to ask about it, but she couldn't find a good opportunity at that time.

If not, I'll reject her for you.\"\n\"I'll speak to her at the office, she can't do anything to me here.\" Hai Rui had an open balcony and there were plenty of people around. According to Song Xin's mindset, no matter how stupid she was, she would never do something reckless at a place like this.\nA moment later, Tangning stood up from the sofa. Although Mo Ting did not say anything, he gestured the bodyguards to keep an eye on her.\nSoon, Tangning arrived on the balcony. Song Xin was already sitting on a chair waiting for her.\n\"I didn't think you'd actually agree to meet me.\"\n\"Speak, what do you want?\" Tangning said as she sat down opposite Song Xin. After sweeping her eyes across Song Xin, she added, \"Where's your manager?\"\n\"I noticed you're not only good on the runway and acting, you've also gained a new skill recently. You know how to snitch in bed,\" Song Xin said as she stirred her coffee and laughed. \"Do you feel that pressured by me? Is that why you're using President Mo to suppress me?\"\nTangning also laughed as she lifted her head and looked at Song Xin, \"We don't exist in the same field, so there is no competition between us. Why would I treat you as a competitor?\"\n\"You are good at writing songs and your scriptwriting is not bad. But, you don't have a pair of long enviable legs, nor do you have impressive acting skills. Why would I even care about you?\"\nSong Xin was stunned for a moment, but she quickly responded with a stronger tone, \"If that's the case, then why would you get President Mo to suppress me?\"\n\"It's true that I don't have long legs nor any acting skills, but I'm young. By the time I reach your age, what can't I achieve?\"\n\"You may not achieve even half of what I've achieved,\" Tangning spoke back calmly. \"Don't try to provoke me verbally, it won't be of any benefit to you. Song Xin, watch what you do, otherwise, you may attract your own demise.\"\nAfter hearing this warning, Song Xin suddenly laughed arrogantly, \"Are you declaring war on me? With the way that you are now?\"\n\"Tangning, not only are you pregnant, you are already 27-years-old. Even if you were as young as me, you wouldn't be a worthy opponent. Did you think that using President Mo to suppress me is a sign of success?\"\n\"Let me tell you, you're far from it.\""

第689章
你现在是在对我宣战吗？
最近一段时间，宋昕的通告总是不理想，要不然像之前的脱口秀节目没什么镜头，要么就是上了节目以后，总是被晾晒一边。
若是一两次，宋昕或许不会多想什么，但是，最近错过了那么多的机会，她总觉得，这件事有人在背后操纵。
“夜深了，怎么还坐在这里？” 段景红见宋昕躲在阳台抽烟，连忙替她拿出一个烟灰缸来。
“难道你不觉得，最近我的工作，不怎么顺利吗？”
“看不出什么大的问题。” 段景红说道，因为节目依旧在上，通告还是满满当当，只是效果不怎么理想。
“我总觉得海瑞在有意的打压我。” 宋昕望着远处说道。
“不会吧？ 可是海瑞没理由这么做啊。”
唐宁走到现在这一步本来就不容易，可是现在冒出一个我来抢她的光彩，难保她不会怀恨在心。” 宋昕一丝都不认为，是自己所做的那些恶毒事已经在唐宁的面前曝光，她只认为，唐宁也把她当做对手！ 而且还是一个可怕的对手。
“那现在怎么办？” 段景红觉得宋昕的话，也不无道理。
“海瑞既然做得出，就别怪我翻脸无情。” 宋昕将烟头摁灭，目光冰冷无情。
不错，海瑞的确是在打压她，但是，并不是因为她那一直引以为傲的能力。
翌日清晨，娱乐圈传出了海瑞打压宋昕的消息，既然唐宁要做得这么难看，也别怪她将事情直接放在台面上来处理。
方煜收到消息以后，直接敲门进入总裁室，坐在唐宁的对面：“外面已经起了谣言。”
唐宁平声的道，但是视线依旧落在面前的剧本上，“她想要让我和霆都知道，她并非是逆来顺受的人。”
“说到这，我也不明白，她到底哪里得罪了墨总？” 方煜有些无解，“按理说，她性格虽然乖张，但是接洽的人，一直是我。”
唐宁抬头瞥了方煜一眼，没立即回答，而是组织好了语言，才回答方煜：“我自有这么做的理由。”
“唐宁，你从前很少卖关子的。” 方煜有些无力的道，“你们这样，我很被动。”
“在桦文凤面前挑拨离间的人，是宋昕的助理，段景红。” 唐宁越过了霍菁菁的事，直接告诉方煜，宋昕的另一条罪名，“现在，你总该明白，霆为什么会下那样的吩咐了吧？”
“确定了？” 方煜还是满脸的疑惑。
“桦文凤曾经来海瑞指认过幕后黑手，但是找遍海瑞也没有找到，当时，我们都以为，那个人并不是海瑞的，但其实，她只是变了一个装扮而已。” 唐宁解释道，更没有将小悦儿认出限量包的事情，告诉方煜。
“所以，霆就安排了人处理了段景红短发无妆容的照片再给桦文凤确认，你猜结果如何？”
不必说，既然唐宁会这么问，也就是说，目标已经确认了。
“但是天网恢恢，疏而不漏。”
方煜终于理解了，也点了点头：“为什么不报警？”
唐宁放下剧本，拿起牛奶杯，回答得很有深意：“因为还不是时候。”
她至少也要让段景红和宋昕，一起尝尝被狗咬，被毒害的滋味。
“用别的艺人转移一下视线就好了。” 唐宁浅声的嘱咐道，“方煜，我明白你的心情，宋昕的确是个人才，但是，一个杀人于无形的人才，只会让她为了达到自己的目的，伤害更多无辜的人。”
“你放心，在这方面，我从不心软。”
正因为知道方煜的性格，所以唐宁才不能将霍菁菁的事情告诉他。
至少，现在不能。
方煜起身离开，可是片刻后，又回到了办公室，对唐宁和墨霆两人说道：“宋昕想见你，你要不要见？ 要不然，我替你推了？”
“就在公司，她吃不了我。” 海瑞有露天的阳台，而且，周围都是工作人员，按照宋昕的心机，她就是再傻，也不会在这种场合乱来。
紧接着，唐宁从沙发上起身，虽然墨霆什么都没说，但是，却用下巴示意保镖，保持一定的保护距离。
很快，唐宁到了露天阳台，而宋昕已经坐在了不远处的椅子上。
“我原本，没抱你会答应见我的打算。”
“说吧，有什么事？” 唐宁在宋昕的对面坐下，打量了宋昕一眼后，又问她，“你的那个经纪人呢？”
“我发现你不仅会走T台，不仅会演戏，最近还多了一个新的技能，那就是还会吹枕边风。” 宋昕一边搅拌自己的咖啡，一边对唐宁报以一丝轻笑，“我就让你觉得，压力那么大吗？
唐宁也轻笑一声，随后抬起头来，看着宋昕：“我们不是同一领域的人，根本就不存在竞争的条件，我为什么要拿你当对手？”
“你的确很会写歌，文笔也不错，但是很遗憾，你既没有让人羡慕的长腿，也没有让人惊艳的演技，你哪里值得我放在心上了？”
宋昕愣了一下，但随后便加重了语气：“既然这样，你为什么要让墨总打压我？”
“我的确是没有长腿和演技，但是，我年轻呢，等我到了你的这个年纪，你觉得，我还有什么成就达不到？”
唐宁平静的反驳回去，“不要试图在言语上刺激我，你讨不到任何的好处。 宋昕，你安分一点，不然的话，很有可能，自作自受。”
宋昕听到这句警告，忽然夸张的笑了出来：“所以，你现在是在对我宣战吗？ 就凭现在的你？”
“唐宁，别说你怀孕、你已经二十七岁，就算你和我一样年轻，你也不可能是我的对手，你觉得你现在利用墨总打压我，就是成功了吗？”
“告诉你，差得远。”

Chapter 689: Are You Declaring War？
Chapter 689: Are You Declaring War？
Following on for quite some time, Song Xin's jobs did not run as smoothly as she hoped. She either didn't get many shots in front of the camera, or she was disregarded on the side.
If it was just once or twice, she may have ignored it, but, after missing so many opportunities, she began to suspect that someone was manipulating things behind-the-scenes.
"It's already late. Why are you still sitting here?" Duan Jinghong spotted Song Xin smoking on the balcony and quickly pulled out an ashtray for her.
"Haven't you noticed that my jobs haven't been going well lately?"
"I haven't noticed anything major," Duan Jinghong replied. Song Xin was still appearing on TV programmes and her schedule was still packed full. The only issue was the result wasn't always ideal.
"I keep feeling like Hai Rui is deliberately suppressing me," Song Xin said as she looked into the distance.
"That couldn't be. Hai Rui has no reason to do that."
"Don't forget, Hai Rui doesn't just have one Mo Ting, there is also Tangning. It wasn't easy for Tangning to get to where she is today. For me to suddenly appear and steal her limelight, she's bound to hate me," Song Xin did not consider for a second that her evil deeds had been exposed in front of Tangning. She simply assumed that Tangning treated her as a competitor.
"What should we do now?" Duan Jinghong felt that Song Xin's words were not unreasonable.
"Since Hai Rui has gone down this path, they shouldn't blame me for retaliating," Song Xin put out her cigarette with an icy cold gaze. She was indeed talented, but...she thought way too highly of herself.
She was right, Hai Rui was suppressing her. But, it wasn't because of the abilities that she was so proud of.
Early the next morning, news started spreading that Hai Rui was suppressing Song Xin. Since Tangning had taken things so far, she couldn't blame Song Xin for bringing the issue to light.
After hearing the news, Fang Yu immediately knocked on the CEO's office and sat opposite Tangning, "Rumors have started."
"The rumors didn't start on their own. Song Xin started it," Tangning said calmly as she remained focused on the script in front of her. "She wants Ting and I to know that she's not one to meekly submit to oppression."
"Speaking of this, I don't quite understand how she has offended President Mo," Fang Yu was confused. "Logically speaking, she may be arrogant, but I've always been the one on the receiving end."
Tangning glanced up at Fang Yu. She did not respond immediately. After planning out her words, she replied, "We have our reasons."
"Tangning, you've never gone around in circles like this," Fang Yu sighed weakly. "I'm quite passive towards your actions."
"The person that provoked Hua Wenfeng was Song Xin's assistant, Duan Jinghong," Tangning directly skipped the incident with Huo Jingjing and told Fang Yu about her other crime. "I'm sure you understand why Ting made such arrangements."
"Are you sure?" Fang Yu was still doubtful.
"Hua Wenfeng previously came to Hai Rui to identify the person that provoked her, but she looked all over the agency and did not find the culprit. At that time, we thought the culprit must not be from Hai Rui. But, as it turns out, she changed her appearance," Tangning explained without revealing the part about Xiao Yue recognizing the limited edition bag.
"That's why Mo Ting took a photo of Duan Jinghong with short hair and no makeup to Hua Wenfeng. Can you guess what the result was?"
Needless to say, the fact that Tangning asked this meant that she had already confirmed her target.
"But, no matter how big the world is, nothing can slip through the cracks."
Fang Yu finally understood, so he nodded his head, "Why didn't you call the police?"
Tangning put down her script, lifted up her glass of milk and replied with deep meaning, "Because it's not time yet."
She wanted Duan Jinghong and Song Xin to at least experience how it felt to be bitten by a dog and to be poisoned first.
"Use another artist to draw away the public's attention," Tangning instructed softly. "Fang Yu, I understand what you are thinking, Song Xin is a rare talent. But, a talent that hurts others in secret, will only hurt the innocent to achieve their motive."
"Don't worry, I never go easy in this aspect."
It was because Tangning understood Fang Yu's temper, that's why she couldn't tell him about Huo Jingjing.
At least, not for now.
Fang Yu stood up to leave, but a moment later, he returned to the office and said to the Mo couple, "Song Xin wants to see you, will you see her? If not, I'll reject her for you."
"I'll speak to her at the office, she can't do anything to me here." Hai Rui had an open balcony and there were plenty of people around. According to Song Xin's mindset, no matter how stupid she was, she would never do something reckless at a place like this.
A moment later, Tangning stood up from the sofa. Although Mo Ting did not say anything, he gestured the bodyguards to keep an eye on her.
Soon, Tangning arrived on the balcony. Song Xin was already sitting on a chair waiting for her.
"I didn't think you'd actually agree to meet me."
"Speak, what do you want?" Tangning said as she sat down opposite Song Xin. After sweeping her eyes across Song Xin, she added, "Where's your manager?"
"I noticed you're not only good on the runway and acting, you've also gained a new skill recently. You know how to snitch in bed," Song Xin said as she stirred her coffee and laughed. "Do you feel that pressured by me? Is that why you're using President Mo to suppress me?"
Tangning also laughed as she lifted her head and looked at Song Xin, "We don't exist in the same field, so there is no competition between us. Why would I treat you as a competitor?"
"You are good at writing songs and your scriptwriting is not bad. But, you don't have a pair of long enviable legs, nor do you have impressive acting skills. Why would I even care about you?"
Song Xin was stunned for a moment, but she quickly responded with a stronger tone, "If that's the case, then why would you get President Mo to suppress me?"
"It's true that I don't have long legs nor any acting skills, but I'm young. By the time I reach your age, what can't I achieve?"
"You may not achieve even half of what I've achieved," Tangning spoke back calmly. "Don't try to provoke me verbally, it won't be of any benefit to you. Song Xin, watch what you do, otherwise, you may attract your own demise."
After hearing this warning, Song Xin suddenly laughed arrogantly, "Are you declaring war on me? With the way that you are now?"
"Tangning, not only are you pregnant, you are already 27-years-old. Even if you were as young as me, you wouldn't be a worthy opponent. Did you think that using President Mo to suppress me is a sign of success?"
"Let me tell you, you're far from it."

"value": "Chapter 304 - I'll Let One Live\nHe was considering whether he should wait to give the order until Lu Zhenghe made his way to their side. However, he ended up giving out the order from impatience.\nIn his eyes, they were only a bunch of students who had yet to experience a real hand-to-hand battle in a war. Normally, they would not be able to react after experiencing a great shock.\nTo his surprise, the kid with the name Mo Fan was able to react so quickly. He was smart enough to use Lu Zhenghe as a hostage.\nOn the other hand, Lu Zhenghe was a complete idiot. Everything would have been fine if he had made his way to their side right at the beginning.\n“Bro…brother, save me!” Lu Zhenghe cried out.\nLu Nian was decisive at killing without showing any mercy. He could tell that Mo Fan was the same as him, too. The Rose Flame was on the verge of lunging at Lu Zhenghe, and Lu Nian was confident that Mo Fan would kill him instantly once he made the decision.\n“Interesting.” Lu Nian took a sip from the pipe. He waved his hand to signal his group to cease fire.\nLu Nian could not allow his brother to die here. He had spent years in the army, thus he never had the time to set up a family for himself. Lu Zhenghe was a lot younger than him. He was basically the last member of their family. Lu Nian knew he would be on trial very soon. He could not care less about his own life, but Lu Zhenghe should not die here.\nAt the same time, he could not show that he was actually concerned about his brother’s life.\nAs a matter of fact, if he were left with no choice, he would still sacrifice his brother’s life, as he was trying to achieve something magnificent. He would be the one who changed the world if the plan succeeded.\nAny sacrifice he made would be so worth it in the end!\n“Who do you think you are, listen up. I, Liao Mingxuan, am the son of Liao Feng from the Magic Association. If you dare kill me today, I’ll make sure your entire family dies with me too!” Liao Mingxuan burst into a hysterical scream.\n“Oh?” Lu Nian raised his eyebrows. His eyes suddenly emitted a brown flicker.\nLiao Mingxuan who was yelling and screaming suddenly fell silent.\nHe could not make any noise. His body had become stiff. He could not even move any of his fingers.\nHis body was covered in a layer of grey-white substance. It started with his toes, and eventually spread across his entire body.\nThe substance spread even faster, like cement being dried in the sun within a short period. The only problem was, the substance was spreading on Liao Mingxuan’s body, which meant that any part of his body that was covered in the grey-white substance would be turned instantly into stone!\nLiao Mingxuan tried to break free, but he was thoroughly turned into a statue in just a few seconds!\n“Someone like him is even worse if left alive.” Lu Nian took another sip from his pipe. He was acting indifferently, as if he were just getting rid of a piece of paper.\nThe anesthetic tobacco entered his lungs, giving a slight relief to the pain from his back. It helped clear his mind too.\nHe glanced at Mo Fan who was still holding his brother as a hostage. He looked like a rusty blade stained with blood, highly unpredictable, but extremely dangerous.\n“Tell me, what do you want.” Lu Nian said in a calm tone.\n“Maybe we should ask you what you want instead. We don’t even know you. Why are you trying to kill us?” Mu Nujiao flushed with anger.\nHer body trembled as she spoke. It was obvious that she was scared, but she forced herself to calm down. It was eerie that their enemy could kill without any sign, which made him extremely difficult to deal with. Luckily, Mo Fan was able to seize their lifeline in time by controlling the traitor Lu Zhenghe.\n“You must be Mu Zhanxing’s granddaughter. You’re quite brave…If I told you that your grandfather agreed with our plan, what would you feel?” Lu Nian burst into monstrous laughter.\nLu Nian was not in a rush. After all, his people had his target surrounded.\nIt would be better if he could let Lu Zhenghe live. After all, he was his only brother. If not, he would not mind killing them all to prevent new problems from cropping up unexpectedly.\nEven though they were only students, most of them had quite a formidable background. It was better to pretend the group was wiped out during training. That way, the people behind them would have no clue who to interrogate, since they were all dead!\n“The girl beside you is quite adorable. I’m sure that you two are close. You let go of that idiot Lu Zhenghe, and I promise to spare her life.” Lu Nian grinned, showing his filthy teeth.\n“You’ll spare the five of us. It will be me, him, her, her, and her. I don’t care what you do to the rest.” Mo Fan demanded.\nMo Fan’s decision immediately scared the shit out of Luo Song, Shen Mingxiao, and the others. They almost dropped to their knees before him.\nPeng Liang and Song Xia stared at Mo Fan in disbelief. They were on the same team with him, so they never thought he would abandon them without a second thought.\n“I said it, only one!” Lu Nian’s voice turned cold.\n“It will be me then,” Mo Fan blurted out without hesitation.\n“HAHAHA, such an interesting kid.” Lu Nian burst out laughing.\nThis time, it was Bai Tingting, Zhao Manting, and Mu Nujiao staring at Mo Fan in a great shock.\n“I tried my best.” Mo Fan said with an apologetic tone.\n“I don’t mind. If it weren’t for you, I’m already dead now.” Bai Tingting forced a smile. Everyone could tell she was reluctant to say it.\nMu Nujiao bit her lips. Her mind was telling her that Mo Fan had made a reasonable decision. Anyone would react the same way. However, she could not help but feel miserable in her heart. For a second, she imagined that Mo Fan would say her name instead.\n“Mo Fan, you are such a disappointment. That being said, if I really were to die here, I hope you will kill that son of a bitch for me in the future…” Zhao Manting said with an absolutely ugly smile.\n“Even if you didn’t say it, I’ll kill him myself,” Mo Fan replied.\nLu Nian tapped his pipe while casting a dismissive side glance at the despairing students.\n“Are you done with your last words? Let Lu Zhenghe go now. Otherwise, not a single one of you will be spared.” The Commander said.\n“I’ve already said it. Let me go.” Mo Fan repeated.\n“Too bad, you’re the last one that will be allowed to leave among them,” Lu Nian said with a grin.\nMo Fan was stunned. He stared at the lunatic in front of him with a blank face.\nNo, even though they were vicious, it was obvious that they were not related to the Black Vatican. They looked extremely calm on the surface, as if they knew they were no turning back after what they had done…\nThe question was, what were they planning to do?"

第304章
他楸实刚才就在考虑着等陆正河过来在下手，但过于心急的他还是直接下达了命令。
在他眼中这些不过是一群根本没有经历过真正厮杀，真正战争的学生，面对这样的屠杀甚至只会脑海一片空白的在那里等死。
谁知道那个叫莫凡的小子反应速度那么快，竟然知道拿陆正河做人质。
陆正河这小子也够蠢，刚才跑过来不就什么事情都没有了。
陆正河带着哭腔的喊道。
陆年杀得果断，丝毫没有一点怜悯。 莫凡这家伙也非常得狠，那些玫炎随时都会往他身上扑去，陆正河可以肯定莫凡这家伙绝对是说杀就杀，眉头都不会皱一下的。 “有点意思。”
陆年抽了一口烟斗，摆了摆手，示意身后那群魔法轰炸团暂时停手。
陆年不能让自己弟弟死去，从军多年的陆年无儿无妻，比直接小上许多的陆正河基本上成为他们这个家庭唯一的香火了，他陆年自己会在不久之后上法庭，他自己死不死无所谓，陆正河不能死了。
但是，他并不能表现出很在意弟弟狗命的样子。
事实上，相比起这次任务，假如非不得已，他还是会选择让弟弟牺牲，因为他要做的事情非常非常宏伟，成功了他将成为改变世界格局的人。
所有的牺牲都将变得值得！
“你是什么狗东西，给我听着，我廖明轩是帝都魔法协会廖封之子，你杀了我，我让你全家都去死！
“哦？” 陆年挑起眉毛，那双眼睛突然闪耀起了一道褐色的光芒。
褐色目光一闪，刚才还在疯狂叫嚣的廖明轩突然间静止了。
他发不出任何的声音，他身体变得僵硬，连一根手指头都动弹不得。
他的身体被一层灰白色物体所覆盖，一开始只是脚趾头的位置，渐渐的开始蔓延到他的全身。
灰白色扩散得越来越快，看上去就像是水泥在很短的时间被晒干了的样子，问题是这些灰白是在廖明轩的身体上铺开，也就是说他身体只要变成灰白色的部位，就全部凝固成了灰石！
廖明轩还望向挣扎，可没过几秒钟他整个人竟然化作了一尊灰白色的雕像！
“这种人，更留不得。” 陆年又抽了一口烟斗，就像摆平了一小撮垃圾一样那么随意和不屑。
有着几分麻醉效果的烟草进入肺腑，背后伴随了不知多少年的疼痛才有了一些缓和，陆年脑子也稍微清醒了一些。
他目光注视着正挟持着自己弟弟的莫凡，整个人就像一把血迹斑斑的妖刀，捉摸不透又危险至极。 “说吧，你想怎么样。”
“是你想怎么样，我们跟你无冤无仇，为什么要杀我们。”
牧奴娇愤怒得整张脸的通红了。
质问出这句话的时候，她身子还是轻轻颤动的，很显然她也害怕，却要强行让自己镇定下来，对方这毫无征兆的杀人太诡异，也最令人难以抗衡，好在莫凡似乎第一时间抓住了对方的命脉，控制住了陆正河这个叛徒。
“你是牧战兴的孙女吧，有几分胆识……如果我说，这件事是你爷爷也同意的，不知道你会作何感想。” 陆年像妖怪一样哈哈大笑了起来。
陆年并不着急，他手底下的人已经将他们给包围了。
能让陆正河活下来，那自然是好事，毕竟是自己唯一的弟弟，如果不行，还是都杀了，免得节外生枝。
这般学生归学生，身份都不太一般，尽快弄成历练意外全军覆没为妙，至于他们这些人背后的势力的质问，死无对证了，还质问个屁！
“你旁边的小妞不错，你们关系不一般吧。 你放了陆正河那蠢材，我可以保证不杀她。” 陆年咧开了嘴，满嘴的大黄牙。
“换五个，我，他，她，她还有她，其他人你自便。” 莫凡直接点名道。
莫凡这一点名可把罗宋、沈明笑等人给吓坏了，差点给莫凡跪下来。
而彭亮、宋霞也有些不敢置信的看着莫凡，他们两个好歹算莫凡队友，却没有想到他连商量都不商量，直接将他们两个给放弃了。
“我说了，只换一个！” 陆年声音一下子寒了起来。
莫凡不假思索的说道。
“哈哈哈哈，好有趣的小子。” 陆年一下子大笑了起来。
此时，白婷婷、赵满延、牧奴娇都一脸不敢相信的看着莫凡。
他们可没有想到真到这种时候，莫凡连他们也放弃了。 “我尽力了。”
“我无所谓，反正没有你的话，我已经死了。” 白婷婷凄凄的一笑，谁都能够听出来她的话语很勉强。
牧奴娇咬着唇，理智告诉她莫凡这样是一个正确的选择，换作谁也会这样选，可心里就是很难受，在那个魔鬼军统说只能够让一个人活的时候，她尝试着幻想过莫凡会不会让她走，尽管只是有些荒唐的一闪而过的念头。
“莫凡，你这样让我对你失望透顶，不过，假如我真的死在这里，我希望你以后帮我杀了这个家伙……”赵满延笑了起来，笑得难看至极。
“不用你说，我也会杀了他。” 莫凡回答道。
陆年抖了抖卡着的烟丝，斜着眼睛看着这群乳臭未干的魔法学生们。
“做好决定了，遗言说完了？ 放了陆正河，不然你们连一个活下去!机会都没有。”
魔鬼统领说道。 “我刚才已经说了，让我走。” 莫凡重复了一遍。
“很遗憾，这里所有人都可以走，就你不能走。” 魔鬼陆年咧开嘴笑道。
莫凡愣了愣，有些愕然的看着这个杀人如麻的高阶法师。
难道他们是黑教廷的人？ ？
问题是他们到底要做什么？

Chapter 304 - I'll Let One Live
He was considering whether he should wait to give the order until Lu Zhenghe made his way to their side. However, he ended up giving out the order from impatience.
In his eyes, they were only a bunch of students who had yet to experience a real hand-to-hand battle in a war. Normally, they would not be able to react after experiencing a great shock.
To his surprise, the kid with the name Mo Fan was able to react so quickly. He was smart enough to use Lu Zhenghe as a hostage.
On the other hand, Lu Zhenghe was a complete idiot. Everything would have been fine if he had made his way to their side right at the beginning.
“Bro…brother, save me!” Lu Zhenghe cried out.
Lu Nian was decisive at killing without showing any mercy. He could tell that Mo Fan was the same as him, too. The Rose Flame was on the verge of lunging at Lu Zhenghe, and Lu Nian was confident that Mo Fan would kill him instantly once he made the decision.
“Interesting.” Lu Nian took a sip from the pipe. He waved his hand to signal his group to cease fire.
Lu Nian could not allow his brother to die here. He had spent years in the army, thus he never had the time to set up a family for himself. Lu Zhenghe was a lot younger than him. He was basically the last member of their family. Lu Nian knew he would be on trial very soon. He could not care less about his own life, but Lu Zhenghe should not die here.
At the same time, he could not show that he was actually concerned about his brother’s life.
As a matter of fact, if he were left with no choice, he would still sacrifice his brother’s life, as he was trying to achieve something magnificent. He would be the one who changed the world if the plan succeeded.
Any sacrifice he made would be so worth it in the end!
“Who do you think you are, listen up. I, Liao Mingxuan, am the son of Liao Feng from the Magic Association. If you dare kill me today, I’ll make sure your entire family dies with me too!” Liao Mingxuan burst into a hysterical scream.
“Oh?” Lu Nian raised his eyebrows. His eyes suddenly emitted a brown flicker.
Liao Mingxuan who was yelling and screaming suddenly fell silent.
He could not make any noise. His body had become stiff. He could not even move any of his fingers.
His body was covered in a layer of grey-white substance. It started with his toes, and eventually spread across his entire body.
The substance spread even faster, like cement being dried in the sun within a short period. The only problem was, the substance was spreading on Liao Mingxuan’s body, which meant that any part of his body that was covered in the grey-white substance would be turned instantly into stone!
Liao Mingxuan tried to break free, but he was thoroughly turned into a statue in just a few seconds!
“Someone like him is even worse if left alive.” Lu Nian took another sip from his pipe. He was acting indifferently, as if he were just getting rid of a piece of paper.
The anesthetic tobacco entered his lungs, giving a slight relief to the pain from his back. It helped clear his mind too.
He glanced at Mo Fan who was still holding his brother as a hostage. He looked like a rusty blade stained with blood, highly unpredictable, but extremely dangerous.
“Tell me, what do you want.” Lu Nian said in a calm tone.
“Maybe we should ask you what you want instead. We don’t even know you. Why are you trying to kill us?” Mu Nujiao flushed with anger.
Her body trembled as she spoke. It was obvious that she was scared, but she forced herself to calm down. It was eerie that their enemy could kill without any sign, which made him extremely difficult to deal with. Luckily, Mo Fan was able to seize their lifeline in time by controlling the traitor Lu Zhenghe.
“You must be Mu Zhanxing’s granddaughter. You’re quite brave…If I told you that your grandfather agreed with our plan, what would you feel?” Lu Nian burst into monstrous laughter.
Lu Nian was not in a rush. After all, his people had his target surrounded.
It would be better if he could let Lu Zhenghe live. After all, he was his only brother. If not, he would not mind killing them all to prevent new problems from cropping up unexpectedly.
Even though they were only students, most of them had quite a formidable background. It was better to pretend the group was wiped out during training. That way, the people behind them would have no clue who to interrogate, since they were all dead!
“The girl beside you is quite adorable. I’m sure that you two are close. You let go of that idiot Lu Zhenghe, and I promise to spare her life.” Lu Nian grinned, showing his filthy teeth.
“You’ll spare the five of us. It will be me, him, her, her, and her. I don’t care what you do to the rest.” Mo Fan demanded.
Mo Fan’s decision immediately scared the shit out of Luo Song, Shen Mingxiao, and the others. They almost dropped to their knees before him.
Peng Liang and Song Xia stared at Mo Fan in disbelief. They were on the same team with him, so they never thought he would abandon them without a second thought.
“I said it, only one!” Lu Nian’s voice turned cold.
“It will be me then,” Mo Fan blurted out without hesitation.
“HAHAHA, such an interesting kid.” Lu Nian burst out laughing.
This time, it was Bai Tingting, Zhao Manting, and Mu Nujiao staring at Mo Fan in a great shock.
“I tried my best.” Mo Fan said with an apologetic tone.
“I don’t mind. If it weren’t for you, I’m already dead now.” Bai Tingting forced a smile. Everyone could tell she was reluctant to say it.
Mu Nujiao bit her lips. Her mind was telling her that Mo Fan had made a reasonable decision. Anyone would react the same way. However, she could not help but feel miserable in her heart. For a second, she imagined that Mo Fan would say her name instead.
“Mo Fan, you are such a disappointment. That being said, if I really were to die here, I hope you will kill that son of a bitch for me in the future…” Zhao Manting said with an absolutely ugly smile.
“Even if you didn’t say it, I’ll kill him myself,” Mo Fan replied.
Lu Nian tapped his pipe while casting a dismissive side glance at the despairing students.
“Are you done with your last words? Let Lu Zhenghe go now. Otherwise, not a single one of you will be spared.” The Commander said.
“I’ve already said it. Let me go.” Mo Fan repeated.
“Too bad, you’re the last one that will be allowed to leave among them,” Lu Nian said with a grin.
Mo Fan was stunned. He stared at the lunatic in front of him with a blank face.
No, even though they were vicious, it was obvious that they were not related to the Black Vatican. They looked extremely calm on the surface, as if they knew they were no turning back after what they had done…
The question was, what were they planning to do?

第四百零三章
这场战斗看似十分冗长，但小银只花了五分钟不到的时间就解决了，境界上的差距终究还是无法用法宝来弥补，这其实也是很多现代修真者的误区，认为只要手上的法宝足够强大，就可以强行进行越级战斗……而事实上，如果境界不够高，手上的法宝再强，作用也难发挥其一二。
顺利解决掉两个猎魔会的修真者，小银在群里发了条消息，说明事件已经解决。
法王几乎是秒回：“这么快啊？”
屏幕前，方醒失笑：“这本来就是虐菜局啊！”
这可是一只能祭出固有灵域的圣兽啊！
不过区别在于，自己对战时，必须要像对阵仙府府主那样，用《白夜之术》加《仙人模式》两道超级术法加持，只有这样才能与小银一战。 而王令只需保持常态，正常发挥即可。
“小银，记得把尸体处理干净，另外处理的时候小心点，避免有诈。” 丢雷真君给小银私发了一条信息。
小银点点头，手一叉腰，脸上的表情很是轻松。
小银往两具尸体上，吐了两口痰。
这行为虽说看上去相当不文明，不建议模仿，然而银角兽的痰液里是带有强酸的，这是纯天然的化尸水，只要在小银境界之下的尸体都能顷刻间溶解掉。
所以对小银而言，处理这两具尸体完全不费事。
而且……这片工地附近是没有监控摄像的，这个善后可以说是非常完美。
小银想走的时候，已经来不及了，几辆警车迅速冲入了工地，把他团团围住，十几个车大灯照打在小银身上，让小银忍不住抬手挡了挡光……实在是太刺眼了！
这是咋回事啊？
小银完全没想到警察居然会注意到这里。
明明之前他动手的时候，已经非常小心确认过附近没有人了！
一名警长从警车上走下，身后还跟着一个青年，这青年打着领带穿着西装，模样看上去像是一个上班族，跟在警察身后瑟瑟发抖。
警长拍了拍这青年的肩膀：“你不必害怕，把你看到的，都说出来。”
小银瞬间流下冷汗……他没想到自己刚刚战斗的时候，居然被人瞧见了！ 这应该不可能才对！
小银举起双手，表情很是无辜：“警察叔叔，我什么都没做啊！”
没错！ 他有权保持缄默！
“你胡说！”
青年指着小银大吼着，那目光露出极度的愤恨之色，掷地有声，义愤填膺。
这青年的语气听上去太果决了，怕不是有什么证据。
警长：“这位先生别激动，慢慢说出来就行。”
青年推了推自己的眼镜，指着小银：“我绕到工地后门一看，就发现这个人在这里故意破坏工地！ 我绝对不会看错的！
这个叙述让小银暗道不妙，怕是这个青年真的看到了什么。
青年说话的时候，气得瑟瑟发抖：“我还看到他……原地吐痰！”
小银：“……蛤？”
说完这些，青年的郁闷终得释放，松出大一口气：“虽说我是在后门看到的，只能看到他的背影，但是绝对不会看错！ 他就是吐痰了！
小银：“练功……我练功不行么！”
“你大半夜在这里练功？”
警长：“但这并不是你蓄意破坏人家工地的理由，而且你还随地吐痰……你这么漂亮一姑娘，怎么这么不讲文明？ 为什么吐痰？”
小银：“我练功……走火入魔，吐口痰……去去火！ 不行啊？”
周围的一众警察连同指证的青年都一同惊了。
警长倒吸了一口冷气，目光严肃的盯着小银：“这位姑娘，你吐痰，外加蓄意破坏人家的工地……按照治安管理条例，需要拘留十五日。 请跟我们走一趟吧！”
晚上七点，松海市安宁区修真警局分局。
小银正在面对着一名警察，他的手腕上戴着手铐，正准备录口供。
那警察嘴角抽搐，忍不住一声卧槽：“咋又是你啊？ ！”
小银也没想到居然在这里碰上熟人了。 而且这位警察小哥的名字，他上一回还特意记了下，叫高天，高警官。
接下来就是正常的审讯流程了。
俩警察就位，负责询问的警察率先开口。
“姓名。”
“小银。”
边上，高警官忍不住一汗：“他真的就叫小银，上一次来过。”
高警官抽了抽嘴角：“你别套近乎……快说……为什么在别人的工地上练功？”
小银心里呵呵一笑，盯着高天：“想你了呗。”

Chapter 403 Little Silver is Arrested Once Again
While this battle seemed very long and tedious, Little Silver only took less than five minutes to defeat his opponents. In the end, the disparity in realms still couldn't be made up with magic treasures. This was in fact an error on the part of many modern cultivators, who believed that as long as their magic treasures were strong enough, they could forcibly outclass their opponents in a fight... But the truth was that if their realms weren't high enough, no matter how powerful their magic treasure was, it would be difficult to release even ten or twenty percent of its capabilities.
After successfully killing the two cultivators of the Demon Hunters Association, Little Silver sent a message to the chat group to explain that the matter had been resolved.
Dharmaraja replied almost a second later. "So fast?"
In front of his screen, Fang Xing couldn't help laughing. "This was a nuecaiju to begin with!"
This was a holy beast who could unleash an intrinsic spirit field! In a situation where Little Silver was allowed to fight, Fang Xing felt that apart from Wang Ling, he was the only other person in the group who could put up a fight against Little Silver.
However, the difference was that Fang Xing would have to use the two supreme spells "White Night Spell" and "Immortal Mode," just like in his battle against the Master of Immortal Mansion back then, before he could fight Little Silver, while it would be enough for Wang Ling to perform as he always did.
"Little Silver, remember to clean up the bodies; be careful when you're doing so, in case of any traps." Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal sent Little Silver a private message.
Little Silver nodded, hands on his hips and a very relaxed look on his face.
He spat twice on the two corpses.
While this behavior looked pretty uncivilized and it wasn't recommended that anyone imitate it, the phlegm of a silver unicorn contained potent acidity, and was a natural corpse liquid. As long as the corpse's realm was below Little Silver's, it could be instantly dissolved.
Hence, disposing of these two bodies was no trouble at all for Little Silver.
Furthermore, there were no surveillance cameras around the site, so it could be said that he had perfectly dealt with the aftermath.
Little Silver wanted to leave, but it was too late. Several police cars sped into the construction site and surrounded him. A dozen headlights illuminated him, and he involuntarily lifted his hands to block out the piercing glare.
What was going on here?
Little Silver had utterly no idea why the police would have noticed this place.
Before making a move, he had clearly been very careful to make sure that there was no one around!
A captain got out of a police car, followed by a young man in a tie and suit who looked like an office worker and who trembled behind the captain.
The captain patted the young man on the shoulder. "Don't be afraid. Tell me what you saw."
Little Silver instantly started to sweat... He hadn't expected to be seen fighting just now! That shouldn't have been possible!
Little Silver raised his hands, an innocent expression on his face. "Police uncle, I didn't do anything!"
Right! That was right! He had the right to remain silent!
"Rubbish!"
The young man pointed at Little Silver and bellowed, his eyes showing extreme righteous indignation.
This young man's tone sounded very firm, as if he had proof.
The captain: "Calm down, sir. Just speak slowly."
The young man pushed his glasses up, then pointed at Little Silver. "I went round the back and noticed that this man was deliberately wrecking things in the construction site! I definitely saw it! All the rubble and bricks nearby were floating in the air! And I also saw him..."
Hearing this, Little Silver secretly thought that this was bad; perhaps the young man really had really seen something.
The young man trembled with anger as he spoke. "I also saw him... spit!"
Little Silver: "...Huh?"
After that, the weight finally lifted off the young man, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Although I only saw him from behind when I was around the back, I definitely didn't see wrong! He did spit! Two large mouthfuls of phlegm, on the ground!"
Little Silver: "..."
It was indeed a little unscientific to show up in the middle of the night at a construction site that had been locked up...
"Cultivating here in the middle of the night?" The captain couldn't help the way his eyebrows twitched. "But that's not a good reason for you to deliberately wreck someone else's construction site. Furthermore, you even spat everywhere... You're such a pretty girl, why are you so uncivilized? Why did you spit?"
Little Silver: "When I was cultivating... I suffered an inner deviation... so I spat to get rid of some of the heat! Is there anything wrong with that?"
The police officers around him, along with the young man who had given evidence, were all stunned.
The captain drew in a sharp breath and looked at Little Silver gravely. "Young lady, you spat and also deliberately wrecked someone else's construction site... According to public security administration regulations, we need to detain you for fifteen days. Please come with us!" Little Silver: "..."
... Seven o'clock at night, Anning District Cultivation Police Station, Songhai city.
Little Silver was in handcuffs in front of a police officer who was preparing to take his statement.
The corners of the police officer's mouth twitched as he couldn't help cursing. "Damn it! Why is it you again?!"
Little Silver also hadn't expected to actually run into an acquaintance here. He had specially memorized the name of this police little brother from the last time; he was called Gao Tian, Officer Gao.
Next was the standard interrogation process.
After the two police officers sat down, the officer responsible for the interrogation was the first to speak.
"Name."
"Little Silver."
Next to him, Officer Gao couldn't help sweating. "His name really is Little Silver, he's been here before."
The two police officers: "..." The corners of Officer Gao's mouth twitched. "Don't try to butter me up... Tell us, why were you cultivating on someone else's construction site?"
Little Silver laughed in his heart as he stared at Gao Tian. "I missed you."

虽然这个小队长有三万多的血量，但是在蒋飞等人的集火下，还是很快被击杀了，小队长一死，治疗的压力大减，蒋飞又能轻松的抗住这些普通精英的攻击了！
第二波小怪结束之后，蒋飞他们获得了喘息的机会，所有人都立即坐下来，吃东西恢复生命值和魔法值。
不好啦！ 我们留守的兄弟已经全部战死了，我们是不是立即撤退？”
“不！ 我们的计划即将成功！ 我绝不撤退！”
战斗进行到了这里，显然已经进入了剧情模式，前面的卡帝亚兄弟会成员在短暂的交流之后，显然是打算顽抗到底了！
“我们主动过去吧，看来这些小怪是不打算出来了！”
生命值已经回满的蒋飞站起身来说道。
其他人一点头，也都做好了战斗准备。
此时血池旁边只有五个家伙了，其中四个卡帝亚巫师还有一个BOSS！
技能：暗影箭。
暗影箭：向敌人发射一枚暗影箭造成自身魔法攻击百分之一百二十的伤害，吟唱时间三秒！
备注：卡帝亚核心成员，卡帝亚兄弟会的主要施法者。
技能：暗影箭，嗜血术，魔化感染。
暗影箭：向敌人发射一枚暗影箭造成自身魔法攻击百分之一百二十的伤害，吟唱时间三秒！
嗜血术：是目标的攻击和施法速度提高百分之百！
魔化感染：立即感染一个友方目标或者尸体，使其魔化，并为自己战斗！
备注：卡帝亚兄弟会的核心头目之一！ 非常的危险，所有参与击杀他的人都会获得大量曙光城人类阵营的声望！
“这四个家伙是一起的，不能单独解决，所以简单分配一下，一会萌萌负责一号巫师，千万记得打断他的暗影箭，五个怪都是法系，要是让他们顺利施法，我们的治疗根本加不住，魅影负责二号巫师，莫小雨三号，狐狸四号，千万别漏了！” 蒋飞先是把打断施法的工作分配了一下！
“炫舞，你一会儿补位，你看那个怪被BOSS施加了嗜血术，你就拉那个怪，到时候我会让玫瑰姐加你的血！” 蒋飞继续分配着任务，这些骑士团妹子对于蒋飞了解BOSS这件事已经习以为常了。
在场的人除了莫小雨皱了皱眉头之外，其他人对于蒋飞未卜先知的能力并没有多想，毕竟这支队伍里还是妹子们为主，她们玩游戏多半是为了娱乐，操心的事情根本懒得想，唯一心思缜密的蔷薇玫瑰虽然知道蒋飞身上秘密很多，但是聪明如她是绝对不会多问的。
“行了，胖子开火阵，先点杀巫师！”
蒋飞说着就做好进攻的准备了！
赵峰这边火阵一开，蒋飞就开始行动了！ 淬火！
一个大范围的仇恨技能，蒋飞把五个怪的仇恨都拉到了自己的身上，同时一个拦截击晕了一个没被冻结的巫师小怪！
反制！
莫小雨一个沉默效果，打断了最后一个小怪的施法！
“胖子你和泡泡跟我输出，其他人看好自己的怪就行！” 蒋飞喊道，这里的怪全都是法系，打他也是真疼，所以蒋飞宁愿输出慢一点，也要尽可能的打断施法！
四个小怪的施法全都被打断了，但是BOSS的暗影箭却完成了！
蒋飞立刻开启了技能！
-1895！
一个高额的伤害数字在BOSS头上飘起，蒋飞的再次成功的扮演了一把慕容复的角色，以其人之道还治其人之身！
只不过邪神庇护的冷却时间比较长，BOSS接下来的暗影箭，蒋飞就照单全收了，不过好在蒋飞此时通过反射的一发暗影箭拉稳了BOSS的仇恨，治疗们可以放心的加血了！
此时的蔷薇玫瑰已经是二十八级的奶骑，蔷薇喵喵也有二十七级了，两个人的治疗量大幅提升，所以BOSS的伤害虽然高，但是两个人配合也还能加得住！
“嗖！”
蔷薇狐狸打断失败，一枚暗影箭砸在了蒋飞身上，蒋飞的血线当即降低，蔷薇玫瑰和蔷薇喵喵只能维持BOSS对蒋飞的伤害，所以这一千五的血线是补不回来了！
“你们四个都小心一些，千万别再失误了！”
随着一声惨叫，第一只小怪被解决了！
虽然加上蒋飞才只有三个人在输出，但是小怪毕竟只有两万多血，而且防御力跟BOSS没法比，所以仅仅不到二十秒就被击杀了！
“你们这些废物！”
一看自己的小弟死了，妖术师萨瓦当即暴怒，施展了嗜血术！
顿时一只小怪满身通红！ 施法速度提升一倍，每一点五秒一发暗影箭，速度快的让蔷薇魅影根本打断不急！
冲锋！
蔷薇炫舞的反应很快，仅仅让他再次对蒋飞放出一发暗影箭之后，就立刻击晕了这个被施加了嗜血的小怪！ 嘲讽！
蔷薇炫舞把这只小怪的仇恨拉到了自己的身上，同时蔷薇玫瑰开始给她加血。
“调转火力，杀这个嗜血状态的！”
跳斩！
下一瞬间蒋飞直接来到这个小怪的面前，然后开始了攻击！
（暴击！
跳斩之后的第一击必然暴击，再加上蒋飞此时一已经叠加了十层无情连打的效果，所以一锤子下去，就是两千多的伤害，让莫小雨和蔷薇狐狸这两个以伤害高而著称的法师看的目瞪口呆！
“嗖！”
一个愣神的功夫，莫小雨负责的那个小怪也给了蒋飞一发暗影箭！
蒋飞的血线再次下滑，再加上之前孙萌萌没打断好的一次暗影箭，蒋飞此时还剩八千的血量。
狐狸你去帮萌萌打断，魅影你去帮小雨！”
蒋飞一边玩命的攻击面前的小怪，一边重新调度负责打断的人，毕竟眼前这个小怪撑不了几秒了，只剩下两个小怪的话，打断起来就容易多了！

EndlessFantasy Translation Although the Captain had more than 30,000 Health Points, it quickly fell to the well-rounded party. As soon as the Captain died, the Healers were able to breathe freely again. Jiang Fei was now back in his comfort zone.
After they cleared the second wave of monsters, Jiang Fei and the others had a chance to rest. Everyone immediately sat down and ate stuff to recover their Health and Mana Points.
“Master! This is bad! Our brothers have all fallen, should we fall back?”
“No! Our plan is about to succeed! We cannot afford to retreat!”
A cutscene had been triggered. After the brief exchanges between the members of the Brotherhood of Katya in front, it was clear that players could not avoid a fight with them.
“Let’s go to them. They’re not going to budge from those positions!”
A fully recovered Jiang Fei stood up. “Yeah!”
The others nodded and were prepared for the battle.
At this time, only five monsters remained beside the blood pool. There were four Katya Wizards and another boss!
Skill: Shadow Bolt.
Shadow Bolt: Fires a Shadow Bolt at the enemy, dealing 120% of your Magic Attack Power as damage. Three seconds casting time!
Remarks: A core member of Katya, the main spellcaster of the Brotherhood of Katya.
Skills: Shadow Bolt, Bloodlust, Demonized Infection.
Shadow Bolt: Fires a Shadow Bolt to the enemy, dealing 120% of your Magic Attack Power as damage. Three seconds casting time!
Bloodlust: The target’s Attack and Casting Speed is increased by 100%!
Demonized Infection: Immediately infects a friendly target or corpse, causing them to demonize and fight for you!
Remarks: One of the core leaders of the Brotherhood of Katya! Very dangerous, all individuals involved in killing him will gain a lot of Reputation in the Human Faction in Dawnlight City!
“We’ll have to fight the four Wizards together, they can’t be separated. I’ll assign the tasks. Mengmeng, you will be in charge of Wizard number one; do not forget to interrupt his Shadow Bolt. All five monsters are mages, if we allow them to complete their spells, our Healers will be overrun.

“Dazzledance, you fill in later. If a monster has been buffed by the boss’s Bloodlust, grab that monster’s attention. When that happens, sister Rose will turn around to heal you!” Jiang Fei continued to assign tasks. The girls from the clan were already used to Jiang Fei having some hidden insight on the boss.
Little Rain was the only one frowning. The others did not doubt Jiang Fei’s ability of foresight. After all, most of the people in this party were girls. Most of them played games for fun, and they were too lazy to bother about such worrisome things. The only smart one, Rosette Rose, knew that Jiang Fei had a lot of secrets, but she was smart enough to know not to ask too much.
“Okay, fatty, activate Fire Arts. Let’s kill the Wizards first!”
Jiang Fei prepared himself.
“Alright!” As soon as Zhao Feng activated Fire Arts, Jiang Fei attacked!
Using an impressively wideranged aggro-generating skill, Jiang Fei managed to pull the aggro of all five monsters onto himself. At the same time, he used Intercept and stunned a Wizard who had gotten away from the ice.
Counter!
Little Rain’s skill silently took effect, interrupting the last Wizard’s casting.
“Fatty, you and Bubbles, with me. The others, just take care of your own Wizards!” Jiang Fei shouted. The monsters here were all Magicians, so they dealt a lot of damage to him. As tough as he was, it was better if the spells were interrupted as often as possible!
While the four wizards were hamstrung, the boss successfully cast Shadow Bolt. Demon’s Harbourage!
Jiang Fei immediately activated his skill.
-1,895!
A high amount of damage appeared above the boss’s head. Once again, Jiang Fei had successfully played the role of Murong Fu, allowing the boss to have a taste of its own medicine!
However, as the cooldown time of Demon’s Harbourage was relatively long, Jiang Fei took the full damage of the next Shadow Bolt from the boss. Fortunately, Jiang Fei had successfully generated the boss’s aggro through the reflected Shadow Bolt, so the Healers could heal him without worry.
At that moment, Rosette Rose was already Level 28, and Rosette Miaomiao was already Level 27. Both of them were far more effective healers now, more than ever. *Swoosh*
-1,567
Rosette Fox failed to interrupt the casting, and a Shadow Bolt slammed into Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei’s Health Points took a chunk off. As Rosette Rose and Rosette Miaomiao could only maintain Jiang Fei’s Health Points, it was impossible for the 1,500 Health Points lost to this attack to be recovered!
“Please watch it. We can’t afford too many of these mistakes!” Jiang Fei reminded them.
“Ah…” With a scream, the first monster collapsed.
Although only three people were attacking — Jiang Fei included, the monsters barely had over 20,000 Health Points. Moreover, their Defense was incomparable to that of the boss’s, so twenty seconds was all it took to dispatch each of them.
“You b*stards!”
When his brother fell, Warlock Sava immediately became furious and activated Bloodlust.
Suddenly, one monster turned red. The casting speed had been doubled, and a Shadow Bolt was fired every 1.5 seconds, so fast that Rosette Phantom could not keep up with it.
Charge!
Rosette Dazzledance responded swiftly. She only allowed the monster time to cast one more Shadow Bolt before she stunned the buffed monster with Bloodlust!
Taunt! Rosette Dazzledance grabbed the aggro of this monster, and Rosette Rose began to heal her.
“Switch targets, kill the one in the Bloodlusted state first!”
Jumping Slash!
In an instance, Jiang Fei was directly in front of this monster. He immediately started attacking.
-2,521! (Critical Hit!)
The first attack after Jumping Slash would be a guaranteed critical strike. Jiang Fei had already activated Ruthless Multi-attacks ten times, so each time his hammer went down, it dealt more than 2,000 damage. The two Magicians who were at home with their high damage, Little Rain and Rosette Fox, were extremely shocked to see those figures.
*Swoosh*
A lapse in concentration allowed the monster that Little Rain was in charge of to send a Shadow Bolt at Jiang Fei.
Jiang Fei’s Health Points decreased, once again. This was after another Shadow Bolt that Sun Mengmeng had failed to interrupt. Jiang Fei only had 8,000 Health Points left at this time.
“Hang in there, guys! Help Mengmeng interrupt them. Phantom, go and help Xiaoyu!”
As Jiang Fei attacked the monster in front of him in a frenzy, he readjusted the positions of those responsible for interrupting the spells. After all, the monster right before him was already near death. If there were only two monsters left, it would be much easier to interrupt them!

But, none of those sandstorms had been as huge as this one.\n“Look at the scale of this sandstorm. I’m afraid that it might not stop today. Everyone, prepare to take a break this evening. We’ll continue with our journey tomorrow,” Jin Xiao Chai looked towards the entrance of the cave and said.\nThe other people complied. Each of them found a place, and sat down.\nShi Mu looked towards the cave’s entrance. He noticed some traces on the surface of the cave’s walls. It seemed that it was a man-made cave. It was dark inside the cave; so much so that nothing was visible. Moreover, it was uncertain where this cave was leading to.\nShi Mu seemed to be surprised. This place seemed to be a mining cave.\nHowever, this cave wasn’t the only mining-cave in that place. They had already come across a number of similar mining-caves along their way; all of them had been in the periphery of the Black Rock Mountains. Moreover, the marks on these caves made it seem that they were ancient mines dating back several years. In fact, they had probably been abandoned hundreds of years ago.\n“This is an abandoned Spirit Stone mine. You people must’ve caught sight of several other similar mines on the way; they were the same.” Jin Xiao Chai noticed everyone’s facial expressions. She then said.\n“Spirit Stones mine!” Shi Mu was left dumbfounded.\nShi Mu had gone through some of the ancient books of the barbarian race when he was in the Holy Snow Palace. So, he knew that the barbarian Wasteland was blessed with various kinds of metallic natural resources. But, he had never heard that the Wasteland was also blessed with rich Spirit Stones.\nHow could this place be in such a barren state if the barbarian race was so rich in Spirit Stones?\n“These things really exist?” Mo Ning and the other three people looked flabbergasted.\n“All this had been written down in some of the records of the Sect’s hidden history. Only the elders have access to them. You haven’t seen them. Those records don’t have anything particular that could make them standout in the crowd,” Jin Xiao Chai explained.\nShi Mu thought what would happen if a barbarian warrior would see this record in the Sect. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.\nThe barbarian Wasteland was reckoned as a restricted area thousands of years ago. It used to be laden with luxuriant vegetation and a beautiful green landscape back in those days. But, thousands of years had passed since that time.\nThese people were successful practitioners. So, they could live for much longer than an average human could. Some could even live for a hundred years or more. However, this time period was nothing more than a blip in the eyes of the planet.\nThe sandstorm was howling outside the cave in a continuous manner. So, everyone looked low-spirited.\nNow the soul turns to ghost.\nI no longer return to my hometown. And, the attic-storied building is left all empty.\nBai Shui Xiu sat on one side. Suddenly, a soft humming voice resounded in the cave. The song was gentle. But, it revealed a feeling of impermanence of life. The song had a merciless feel to it.\nEveryone seemed to be influenced by the song. So, they chimed-in one after another.\nOnly Jin Xian Chai’s eyes were still gazing outside the cave. It couldn’t be understood what she was thinking about.\nA few people smiled as Bai Shui Xiu finally stopped singing. The gloomy atmosphere of the cave had become pleasant and lively by now.\n“Hehe… Sister Bai is a prodigy in magic arts. But, I never thought that her voice would be extremely melodious and pleasant. This is the first time that I’ve heard Sister Bai sing,” Qian Xiong smiled, and said in an appreciating tone.\n“Brother Qian is making fun of me. This is a folk song from my hometown. So, it’s very close to my heart. It reminds me of some beautiful memories. I only hummed a few words unconsciously,” Bai Shui Xiu replied with a smile.\n“I still don’t know where Sister Bai’s hometown is,” Qian Xiong went a bit closer to Bai Shui Xiu and asked.\nThen, the two of them began to talk in soft voices. Qian Xiong looked a little dense and crazy. But, he was extremely talkative. His sparkling words soon started to tickle Bai Shui Xiu, and made her burst into a giggle. Consequently, her delicate laughter began to resound in the cave.\nA gloomy expression flashed in Mo Ning’s eyes as he saw them talking blissfully. He then turned his head to the other side.\nA trace of smile bloomed on Shi Mu’s face as he looked into the eyes of these three people. He then got-up, and walked into the depths of the mine. He sat down cross-legged once he was at a considerable distance from the other people.\nCai perched on his shoulder, and narrowed its eyes. It seemed as if it had fallen asleep.\nThe sky outside the cave was soon covered with a curtain of darkness. Qian Xiong and Bai Shui Xiu had stopped talking by now. And, each of them had started to look for a place to take rest.\nTime passed slowly. Peace prevailed inside the cave at this time. Only soft breathing sounds could be heard inside the cave.\nShi Mu still sat cross-legged. Suddenly, he opened his eyes. Then, a scene emerged in his mind.\nThere was a huge underground cave. A blazing and fiery-red river of magma was slowly flowing inside it. Several fervent waves and air-bubbles were ascending from the magma in a frequent manner.\n“Shi Tou, hurry-up and come over here. There are some good things in the depths of the mine,” the voice of the parrot rang in Shi Mu’s mind.\nShi Mu’s brows twitched as his vision swept towards the other people in the cave.\nIt was dark inside the cave; so much so that one couldn’t even see their own fingers. But, this darkness couldn’t have the slightest impact on Shi Mu.\nJin Xiao Chai, Mo Ning and others were either asleep or sitting in meditation.\nShi Mu got-up, and quietly walked into the depths of the mine.\nShi Mu’s silhouette soon disappeared. Jin Xiao Chai was sitting with her back rested against the stone-wall. Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and looked in the direction where Shi Mu was headed. A trace of astonishment streaked across her beautiful eyes. Then, she stood-up, and started to follow after him in stealth mode.\nShi Mu accelerated his pace once there was a considerable distance between him and the other people.\nThe depth of this cave had far surpassed Shi Mu’s expectation. He continued to walk forward for a quarter-of-an-hour. But, there was still no sign of an end to the cave.\nThe cave’s path gradually stretched downwards. The path had seven or eight twists and turns. But, there was only one road. So, there was no fear of taking the wrong path.\nThe temperature inside the cave started to rise as he continued to walk downwards.\nShi Mu continued to walk downwards for seven or eight more minutes. Then, a passageway appeared before him. It was blocked by a huge block of rock. But, a few small holes could be seen on the surface of the big rock. Those holes revealed a red luminescence on the other side of the rock. It seemed that Shi Mu would have to pass through this place in order to reach the magma-river.\nHe arrived at the underground cave. A scorching air-wave hit his face as soon as he entered the underground area. The air-wave was so hot that it could make anyone crazy.\nIt seemed as if the air within Shi Mu’s body was boiling hot every time he breathed in.\n“Shi Tou, why did you come here?” Cai flew over, and landed on Shi Mu’s shoulder. Then, it shouted in an impatient manner.\nBut, Shi Mu remained silent. He felt extremely hot and difficult to stand at that place even with his extremely strong physique.\nSuddenly, an idea crossed his mind. He then started to operate the Art of the Flaming Red Ape. After that, he inhaled a puff of scalding air-wave into his body. Suddenly, the sense of scalding-hot feeling disappeared without a trace.\nShi Mu’s face beamed with happiness. He inhaled a puff of scorching air of the magma once again. He felt a little stimulation in the Qi embryo inside his lower abdomen.\n“Quack! Quack! It’s extremely hot here. Cai can’t stand it anymore. You suck away this scorching heat. Then, it would become much cooler,” Cai shouted while flapping its wings.\n“Cai, what are the good things that you were talking about?” Shi Mu asked without paying any attention to Cai’s words.\n“You have no vision. You’re lucky that you became a top disciple of the Black Demon Sect,” the parrot said while gazing at Shi Mu with squinted eyes.\nShi Mu shot a glaring look at the parrot.\n“Well… well… I admit that whatever I said wasn’t good. Fine. Can you see fishes swimming in the magma? They’re the spirit beings that came into being due to the accumulation of fire-essence and underground evil spirits in this magma over a period of thousands of years,” the parrot shrunk its neck, and said in a complacent tone.\n“The fire-essence…” Shi Mu’s eyebrows twitched, and his eyes brightened-up.\nAs far as Shi Mu knew, fire-essence was a rare and valuable treasure for a fire-style magician that could support his fire-style Cultivation arts. So, they always yearned for this. Moreover, only the top-grade or higher fire-attribute spirit stones might contain the pure essence of fire.\n“Don’t talk so much. Shi Tou, grab me a fiery-fish first,” the parrot said in an anxious manner.\n“You can also absorb the pure essence of fire?” Shi Mu was surprised.\n“Of course! And, don’t look at me like this. Cai is also a fire-attribute spirit beast. There isn’t much difference between me and the Fire Phoenix…” the parrot said in a boastful manner.\nShi Mu didn’t pay attention to the parrot’s words. Instead, he started to read an incantation. Then, he gently waved his arm, and a white chain darted from his hand. He had done this by using the ‘Qi ring pile’ magic technique.\nThe white chain pierced the magma with a lightning speed. Then, a white light flashed. The white chain rolled-up a chopstick-like long fish, and flew backwards.\nThe parrot issued a cheerful sound. It was about to open its mouth in order to nip the flesh of the fish.\nSuddenly, a layer of red radiance bubbled-up on the surface of Shi Mu’s hand, and he caught the fish in his hand.\nShi Mu didn’t care about the parrot’s discontented screeches. His eyebrows snapped into a frown as he examined the fish in his hand.\nThe surface of the fish’s body was translucent and red in color. It felt as light as a bird’s feather in Shi Mu’s hand.\nHe glanced at the fish. Then, he waved his hand, and tossed it towards the parrot.\nCai opened its mouth, and caught the fish. Then, it raised its neck a few times, and swallowed it down. Suddenly, a burst of faint-red radiance emerged on the surface of its body. The color of its feathers seemed to have turned into a fiery-red one.\nShi Mu caught another fiery fish once he had flung the previous one to the parrot.\nShi Mu’s eyes brightened-up. He stimulated the operation of the Art of the Flaming Red Ape as the Qi seeped into his body. Then, the wisp of Red Qi got integrated into his Qi embryo in the lower abdomen. The Qi embryo in his lower abdomen surged, and its volume grew-up a little. Even its color became a lot deeper than before.\nThe Qi embryo in his lower abdomen surged, and its volume grew-up a little. Even its color became a lot deeper than before.\nShi Mu’s heart was overwhelmed with happiness. He had never thought that such a trivial amount of fire-essence of this fiery-fish would turn out to be so nutritious for him. It could be said that it was almost equivalent to his fifteen days of pain-staking practice.\n“Shi Tou, don’t reap all the profits by yourself. I’ve discovered this place and these fiery-fishes. So, catch a few fishes for me first.”\nShi Mu shot a glance at Cai. Then, a white chain was shot from his hand. It rolled out a few fishes, and threw them towards the parrot.\nThe white chain continued to grab fishes out of the magma for a while.\nThere were a large number of fiery-fishes in the magma. Moreover, Shi Mu’s actions were very light and skillful; so much so that he didn’t even startle the other fishes.\nShi Mu sat down cross-legged on the ground, and started to operate the Art of the Flaming Red Ape in order to refine the fishes.\nA wisp of fiery-red Qi flew, and submerged into Shi Mu’s body. Then, it integrated into the Qi embryo in his lower abdomen.\nThe Qi embryo grew even bigger and stronger than before. Then, its shape became round from its previous oval. And, it now looked like a fireball as it slowly rolled within his lower abdomen. It didn’t feel like a burst or two of magical power either…"

第二百一十三章
说起来，石牧等一行人这一路行来，也遇到过两三次沙暴，但是都没有这次规模如此浩大。
“看这沙暴的规模，今日怕是停不下来了，大家准备在这里歇一晚，明日再继续赶路吧。” 金小钗望着洞口，说道。
其他人闻言，应了一声，各自找到一个地方坐了下来。
石牧看着眼前的山洞，明显有人为开凿的痕迹，而且里面黑洞洞的看不到底，不知通往何处。
他脸上露出些许诧异神色，这里似乎是一处矿洞。
不单单是这里，在黑石山脉外围，这样类似的矿洞沿途也看到过多处，看这里的痕迹，似乎是很久以前的矿坑，废弃起码也有数百年。 其他人目光也有些好奇的打量着山洞的环境。
“这里是一处废弃的灵石矿，一路走来，看到的其他矿洞也是一样。” 金小钗注意到众人的神情，开口说道。
“灵石矿！” 石牧微微一怔。
以他在蛮族圣雪宫中曾看过一些蛮族典籍，蛮族荒原盛产各种金属矿藏，但是从来没听说过盛产灵石。
若是蛮族盛产灵石，又怎会是如今这般贫瘠的状态。
“竟有此事？”
莫宁三人脸上也满是诧异。 “这些事情都记载在门中的一些隐史之中，只有长老们才能查阅，你们没看过也没什么好奇怪的。” 金小钗道。
石牧不由想起在蛮族勇士之门中看到的情形，心中不禁有些感叹。
数千年前蛮族荒原估计正是禁地中的那般模样，草木繁盛，山水苍翠，然而数千年时间一过，沧海也化为了桑田。
众人虽说也都是修炼有成，但是也不过能比寻常之人多活百年光景而已，和这个天地相比太过渺小。 外面沙尘呼啸。
众人情绪都有些低落。 严杀尽兮弃原野。
子魂魄兮为鬼雄。
故园不再兮戍楼空。
一直坐在一旁没有说话的白水秀，突然轻轻哼起了歌声，歌声虽然婉转。 但是其中透出一股人生无常，大道无情的意境。
众人被歌声感染，先后跟着附和了起来。
只有金小钗目光有些怔怔的看着山洞之外，不知在想些什么。 一曲唱罢。
几人相视一笑，山洞中的气氛倒是活跃了几分。
歌声也这般动听，说起来。 这还是第一次听到白石师妹吟歌。” 钱熊嘿嘿一笑，夸赞道。
这不过是家乡的一支小调，触景生情，便不自觉得哼上两句。” 白水秀莞尔一笑道。
“原来如此，说起来我还不知白师妹家乡在何处？” 钱熊身体一动，靠近了白水秀几分。
两人轻声聊了起来，钱熊看着粗狂，却很会说话，妙语连珠，不一会便逗的白水秀咯咯娇笑，花枝乱颤。
莫宁看到二人这般模样，眼中却隐隐闪过一丝阴晦，把脑袋别向了另一边。
石牧将三人神情看在眼中，脸上露出一丝笑容，随即起身走到矿洞更深处，距离几人远了一些，盘膝坐了下来。
彩儿蹲在他的肩膀上，眯着眼睛，似乎已经睡着了。
外面的天色很快完全黑了下来，钱熊和白水秀也停止了闲聊，各自找地方休息。
时间缓缓而过，山洞之中已经完全安静了下来，只剩下轻轻的呼吸声回响。
盘膝而坐的石牧忽的睁开了眼睛，脑海中浮现出一幅画面。
一处巨大地下岩洞，炙热通红的岩浆河流缓缓流过，岩浆之中不时有热浪气泡冒出。 滚滚炙热岩浆之中，赫然有着一些火红的游鱼游动。
“石头，快点过来，矿洞深处有好东西！” 鹦鹉的声音在石牧心中响起。
石牧眉梢一挑，目光朝着周围几人看去。
周围虽然伸手不见五指，一片漆黑，但是对他没有丝毫影响。
金小钗，莫宁等人此刻都已经或是睡着，或是打坐入定。
他悄悄起身，无声无息的朝着矿洞深处走去。
石牧身影消失在深处，背靠石壁的金小钗却忽的睁开了眼睛，朝着石牧走去的方向看了一眼，美眸中闪过一丝异色，随即她也站了起来，悄悄跟了上去。
石牧远离了众人休息之处，便立刻加快了脚步。
这个矿洞的深度出乎他的预料，他足足走了一刻钟，还是丝毫没有到头的痕迹。
矿洞逐渐向下，向着地底延伸而去，道路七折八折，不过还好只有一条道，不会走错路。
越往下走，空气的温度便越高。
这也难怪，深处是通往一处地下岩浆之地。 石牧又走了半刻钟，前方被一处巨大石块挡住了通道，只有几个不大的空洞，里面隐隐有赤红光芒透出，显然彩儿就是从这里穿过去的。 这些石块自然拦不住他，石牧两手轻拨，一块块巨石轻松被拨到一边，很快腾出了一个入口。
石牧走了过去，来到地底岩洞之中，一股炙热到几乎让人发狂的热浪扑面而来。
仿佛每呼吸一口，吸入体内的空气都是滚烫的。
“石头，你怎么才来！” 彩儿从一旁飞了过来，落在了石牧肩膀，有些不耐烦的嚷嚷道。
石牧没有回答，以他的体质此刻站在这里也感到有些酷热难当。
他心念一动，运转赤猿火经，将一股股扑面而来的热力吸入了体内，当即那股灼热之感顿时便消失无踪。
石牧脸色忽的一喜，吸入此地的岩浆热气，他丹田中的气胚顿时有些蠢蠢欲动之感。
“嘎嘎，这里太热，彩儿也有些受不了，你把那些热气吸走，凉快多了！” 彩儿扇了扇翅膀，叫道。
“彩儿，你刚刚说的好东西是什么？” 石牧没有搭理彩儿的废话，问道。
“真是没有眼光，亏你还是黑魔门第一真传弟子。” 鹦鹉斜眼看向石牧，说道。
石牧瞪了鹦鹉一眼。
“好了好了，俺说还不行吗，喏，看到那些岩浆中的游鱼没有？ 它们可是岩浆千年积蓄下来的火元精和地底煞气汇聚，才产生的灵物。” 鹦鹉脖子缩了缩，略带几分自得之色的说道。
“火元精……”石牧眉梢一挑，眼睛亮了起来。
据他所知，火元精是火属性术士和修炼火系功法的武者都梦寐以求的奇珍之物，上品以上的火属性灵石中，才可能有火元精存在。
“别说那么多了，石头，先给俺抓一条火鱼。” 鹦鹉有些焦急的说道。
“你也能吸收火元精？” 石牧有些诧异。
“当然，别看爷这样，彩儿也是火属性灵兽，和朱雀，凤凰相比其实也相差不多……”鹦鹉脸不红心不跳的吹嘘起来。
石牧没有理会鹦鹉的自吹自擂，口中诵念咒语，手臂轻挥，一道白色锁链从他手中飞射而出，正是气环桩法术。
白色锁链闪电般刺入了岩浆之中，白光一闪，便卷中了一条筷子长的游鱼，随即飞了过来。
鹦鹉发出一声欢呼，正要张嘴便咬。
石牧手上泛起一阵红光，一把将游鱼抓在手中。
石牧没有理会鹦鹉不满的尖叫，仔细打量着手中的游鱼，眉梢忽的一挑。
游鱼身体呈现赤红之色，呈半透明状，握在手里却轻如鸿毛。
他看了两眼，一挥手将之扔给了鹦鹉。
彩儿一张口就咬住了火鱼，昂其脖子几下就吞了下去，身上顿时浮现出一阵淡淡红光，全身的羽毛颜色似乎多出了一点火红之色。
石牧将火鱼扔给鹦鹉后，自己立刻又抓了一只。
他飞快运转赤猿火经，手中红光大放，包裹住了火鱼。 火鱼不停挣扎，但根本无法挣脱分毫，片刻之后，身体“啪嗒”一声碎裂开来，化为了一股炙热的赤红火气，被石牧吸入体内。
丹田中的气胚顿时一阵翻涌，体积涨大了些许，颜色也深了不少。
他心中顿时大喜，没想到区区一条火元精幻化的火鱼竟然如此滋补，足足赶得上他半月的苦修了。
“石头，别光顾着自己捞好处，这里可是俺先发现的，给俺再抓几只火鱼先。” 彩儿叫道。
石牧没好气的看了彩儿一眼，白色锁链再次****而出，卷出几只火鱼，扔给了鹦鹉慢慢吃。
白色锁链继续连连刺入岩浆之中，抓出一条条火鱼。
岩浆之中火鱼数量不少，石牧动作又很轻，没有惊动其他鱼群。
他干脆盘膝在地上坐了下来，催动赤猿火经将这些火鱼炼化起来。
一道道赤红火气飞入石牧体内，融入丹田气胚之中。
气胚越发壮大，外形也由椭圆形逐渐变成了浑圆，仿佛一个火球缓缓滚动，不是迸发出一两道强大的法力波动。

Chapter 213
Shi Mu and his team-members had already encountered two or three sandstorms since the time they had set out on this journey. But, none of those sandstorms had been as huge as this one.
“Look at the scale of this sandstorm. I’m afraid that it might not stop today. Everyone, prepare to take a break this evening. We’ll continue with our journey tomorrow,” Jin Xiao Chai looked towards the entrance of the cave and said.
The other people complied. Each of them found a place, and sat down.
Shi Mu looked towards the cave’s entrance. He noticed some traces on the surface of the cave’s walls. It seemed that it was a man-made cave. It was dark inside the cave; so much so that nothing was visible. Moreover, it was uncertain where this cave was leading to.
Shi Mu seemed to be surprised. This place seemed to be a mining cave.
However, this cave wasn’t the only mining-cave in that place. They had already come across a number of similar mining-caves along their way; all of them had been in the periphery of the Black Rock Mountains.

Shi Mu had gone through some of the ancient books of the barbarian race when he was in the Holy Snow Palace. So, he knew that the barbarian Wasteland was blessed with various kinds of metallic natural resources. But, he had never heard that the Wasteland was also blessed with rich Spirit Stones.
How could this place be in such a barren state if the barbarian race was so rich in Spirit Stones?
“These things really exist?” Mo Ning and the other three people looked flabbergasted.
“All this had been written down in some of the records of the Sect’s hidden history. Only the elders have access to them. You haven’t seen them. Those records don’t have anything particular that could make them standout in the crowd,” Jin Xiao Chai explained.
Shi Mu thought what would happen if a barbarian warrior would see this record in the Sect. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
The barbarian Wasteland was reckoned as a restricted area thousands of years ago. It used to be laden with luxuriant vegetation and a beautiful green landscape back in those days. But, thousands of years had passed since that time.
These people were successful practitioners. So, they could live for much longer than an average human could. Some could even live for a hundred years or more. However, this time period was nothing more than a blip in the eyes of the planet.
The sandstorm was howling outside the cave in a continuous manner. So, everyone looked low-spirited.
Now the soul turns to ghost.
I no longer return to my hometown. And, the attic-storied building is left all empty.
Bai Shui Xiu sat on one side. Suddenly, a soft humming voice resounded in the cave. The song was gentle. But, it revealed a feeling of impermanence of life. The song had a merciless feel to it.
Everyone seemed to be influenced by the song. So, they chimed-in one after another.
Only Jin Xian Chai’s eyes were still gazing outside the cave. It couldn’t be understood what she was thinking about.
A few people smiled as Bai Shui Xiu finally stopped singing. The gloomy atmosphere of the cave had become pleasant and lively by now.
“Hehe… Sister Bai is a prodigy in magic arts. But, I never thought that her voice would be extremely melodious and pleasant. This is the first time that I’ve heard Sister Bai sing,” Qian Xiong smiled, and said in an appreciating tone.
“Brother Qian is making fun of me. This is a folk song from my hometown. So, it’s very close to my heart. It reminds me of some beautiful memories. I only hummed a few words unconsciously,” Bai Shui Xiu replied with a smile.
“I still don’t know where Sister Bai’s hometown is,” Qian Xiong went a bit closer to Bai Shui Xiu and asked.
Then, the two of them began to talk in soft voices. Qian Xiong looked a little dense and crazy. But, he was extremely talkative. His sparkling words soon started to tickle Bai Shui Xiu, and made her burst into a giggle. Consequently, her delicate laughter began to resound in the cave.
A gloomy expression flashed in Mo Ning’s eyes as he saw them talking blissfully. He then turned his head to the other side.
A trace of smile bloomed on Shi Mu’s face as he looked into the eyes of these three people. He then got-up, and walked into the depths of the mine. He sat down cross-legged once he was at a considerable distance from the other people.
Cai perched on his shoulder, and narrowed its eyes. It seemed as if it had fallen asleep.
The sky outside the cave was soon covered with a curtain of darkness. Qian Xiong and Bai Shui Xiu had stopped talking by now. And, each of them had started to look for a place to take rest.
Time passed slowly. Peace prevailed inside the cave at this time. Only soft breathing sounds could be heard inside the cave.
Shi Mu still sat cross-legged. Suddenly, he opened his eyes. Then, a scene emerged in his mind.
There was a huge underground cave. A blazing and fiery-red river of magma was slowly flowing inside it. Several fervent waves and air-bubbles were ascending from the magma in a frequent manner.
“Shi Tou, hurry-up and come over here. There are some good things in the depths of the mine,” the voice of the parrot rang in Shi Mu’s mind.
Shi Mu’s brows twitched as his vision swept towards the other people in the cave.
It was dark inside the cave; so much so that one couldn’t even see their own fingers. But, this darkness couldn’t have the slightest impact on Shi Mu.
Jin Xiao Chai, Mo Ning and others were either asleep or sitting in meditation.
Shi Mu got-up, and quietly walked into the depths of the mine.
Shi Mu’s silhouette soon disappeared. Jin Xiao Chai was sitting with her back rested against the stone-wall. Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and looked in the direction where Shi Mu was headed. A trace of astonishment streaked across her beautiful eyes. Then, she stood-up, and started to follow after him in stealth mode.
Shi Mu accelerated his pace once there was a considerable distance between him and the other people.
The depth of this cave had far surpassed Shi Mu’s expectation. He continued to walk forward for a quarter-of-an-hour. But, there was still no sign of an end to the cave.
The cave’s path gradually stretched downwards. The path had seven or eight twists and turns. But, there was only one road. So, there was no fear of taking the wrong path.
The temperature inside the cave started to rise as he continued to walk downwards.
Shi Mu continued to walk downwards for seven or eight more minutes. Then, a passageway appeared before him. It was blocked by a huge block of rock. But, a few small holes could be seen on the surface of the big rock. Those holes revealed a red luminescence on the other side of the rock. It seemed that Shi Mu would have to pass through this place in order to reach the magma-river.
He arrived at the underground cave. A scorching air-wave hit his face as soon as he entered the underground area. The air-wave was so hot that it could make anyone crazy.
It seemed as if the air within Shi Mu’s body was boiling hot every time he breathed in.
“Shi Tou, why did you come here?” Cai flew over, and landed on Shi Mu’s shoulder. Then, it shouted in an impatient manner.
But, Shi Mu remained silent. He felt extremely hot and difficult to stand at that place even with his extremely strong physique.
Suddenly, an idea crossed his mind. He then started to operate the Art of the Flaming Red Ape. After that, he inhaled a puff of scalding air-wave into his body. Suddenly, the sense of scalding-hot feeling disappeared without a trace.
Shi Mu’s face beamed with happiness. He inhaled a puff of scorching air of the magma once again. He felt a little stimulation in the Qi embryo inside his lower abdomen.
“Quack! Quack! It’s extremely hot here. Cai can’t stand it anymore. You suck away this scorching heat. Then, it would become much cooler,” Cai shouted while flapping its wings.
“Cai, what are the good things that you were talking about?” Shi Mu asked without paying any attention to Cai’s words.
“You have no vision. You’re lucky that you became a top disciple of the Black Demon Sect,” the parrot said while gazing at Shi Mu with squinted eyes.
Shi Mu shot a glaring look at the parrot.
“Well… well… I admit that whatever I said wasn’t good. Fine. Can you see fishes swimming in the magma? They’re the spirit beings that came into being due to the accumulation of fire-essence and underground evil spirits in this magma over a period of thousands of years,” the parrot shrunk its neck, and said in a complacent tone.
“The fire-essence…” Shi Mu’s eyebrows twitched, and his eyes brightened-up.
As far as Shi Mu knew, fire-essence was a rare and valuable treasure for a fire-style magician that could support his fire-style Cultivation arts. So, they always yearned for this. Moreover, only the top-grade or higher fire-attribute spirit stones might contain the pure essence of fire.
“Don’t talk so much. Shi Tou, grab me a fiery-fish first,” the parrot said in an anxious manner.
“You can also absorb the pure essence of fire?” Shi Mu was surprised.
“Of course! And, don’t look at me like this. Cai is also a fire-attribute spirit beast. There isn’t much difference between me and the Fire Phoenix…” the parrot said in a boastful manner.
Shi Mu didn’t pay attention to the parrot’s words. Instead, he started to read an incantation. Then, he gently waved his arm, and a white chain darted from his hand. He had done this by using the ‘Qi ring pile’ magic technique.
The white chain pierced the magma with a lightning speed. Then, a white light flashed. The white chain rolled-up a chopstick-like long fish, and flew backwards.
The parrot issued a cheerful sound. It was about to open its mouth in order to nip the flesh of the fish.
Suddenly, a layer of red radiance bubbled-up on the surface of Shi Mu’s hand, and he caught the fish in his hand.
Shi Mu didn’t care about the parrot’s discontented screeches. His eyebrows snapped into a frown as he examined the fish in his hand.
The surface of the fish’s body was translucent and red in color. It felt as light as a bird’s feather in Shi Mu’s hand.
He glanced at the fish. Then, he waved his hand, and tossed it towards the parrot.
Cai opened its mouth, and caught the fish. Then, it raised its neck a few times, and swallowed it down. Suddenly, a burst of faint-red radiance emerged on the surface of its body. The color of its feathers seemed to have turned into a fiery-red one.
Shi Mu caught another fiery fish once he had flung the previous one to the parrot.
Shi Mu’s eyes brightened-up. He stimulated the operation of the Art of the Flaming Red Ape as the Qi seeped into his body. Then, the wisp of Red Qi got integrated into his Qi embryo in the lower abdomen. The Qi embryo in his lower abdomen surged, and its volume grew-up a little. Even its color became a lot deeper than before.
The Qi embryo in his lower abdomen surged, and its volume grew-up a little. Even its color became a lot deeper than before.
Shi Mu’s heart was overwhelmed with happiness. He had never thought that such a trivial amount of fire-essence of this fiery-fish would turn out to be so nutritious for him. It could be said that it was almost equivalent to his fifteen days of pain-staking practice.
“Shi Tou, don’t reap all the profits by yourself. I’ve discovered this place and these fiery-fishes. So, catch a few fishes for me first.”
Shi Mu shot a glance at Cai. Then, a white chain was shot from his hand. It rolled out a few fishes, and threw them towards the parrot.
The white chain continued to grab fishes out of the magma for a while.
There were a large number of fiery-fishes in the magma. Moreover, Shi Mu’s actions were very light and skillful; so much so that he didn’t even startle the other fishes.
Shi Mu sat down cross-legged on the ground, and started to operate the Art of the Flaming Red Ape in order to refine the fishes.
A wisp of fiery-red Qi flew, and submerged into Shi Mu’s body. Then, it integrated into the Qi embryo in his lower abdomen.
The Qi embryo grew even bigger and stronger than before. Then, its shape became round from its previous oval. And, it now looked like a fireball as it slowly rolled within his lower abdomen. It didn’t feel like a burst or two of magical power either…

"value": "To have a solid base in the Great Yin after relocating a family and two forces—the Prime Devil Sect and the Crimson Sun Sect—Lu Sheng needed the people to accept them. Not only that, but also to give them a piece of cake. So, he needed to make sure that when they showed their fangs, they wouldn’t cross the baseline of the locals here.\nSo, after clearing the path, Lu Sheng made his way straight to the Great Yin, and prepared to continue clearing the road for the main group and create a place for themselves.\nHe had heard about the most powerful sect in this area, the Spring Sun Sect, from the hunters. Many wealthy and powerful families nearby wanted to send their children to the Spring Sun Sect. Within the nearest hundred li, getting into the Spring Sun Sect would provide the best future possible.\nSo, when Lu Sheng saw the people with the same tokens, he immediately thought of the Spring Sun Sect.\nHe stood up, stretching out his wrists and ankles, then started climbing the stone steps up the mountain.\nAfter about an hour of walking on the stone steps, Lu Sheng unhurriedly came to the large temple. It was at the top of the mountain, old and simple.\nThere was a board across the temple, with three neat characters on it that Lu Sheng didn’t recognize.\nLu Sheng instantly saw the couple of people that just walked up. The congregated to the right of the temple doors, talking with a young Buddhist apprentice.\nThe sun was setting, and it was getting dark.\nLu Sheng walked to an isolated corner, and stopped under a tree, watching the rest of the people.\nSoon, the temple opened its doors. The temples were weird, considering how they only opened at night.\nPeople walked inside in order, donating money as the young apprentice indicated. Soon, it was the turn of the group that Lu Sheng had his eyes on. “… Benefactor\nWen, I haven’t seen you in a while…” From far away, Lu Sheng heard a welcoming priest greet that group of people respectfully.\nA woman smiled, and said quietly, “I got bogged down by some matters in the sect. See, I came as soon as I could.”\nThe group of people entered the temple. They stayed inside for about ten minutes, then walked out.\nThe leader of the group was the woman who’d just spoken, but what was surprising was that the head priest walked them out.\nLu Sheng squinted as his sharp senses captured the conversation between the few people present.\n“… Our Spring Sun Sect is very strict about not coming to the temple at night. If it weren’t for Senior Apprentice Brother Mu specifying that he wanted the blessed bronze coins from this place, we wouldn’t even have to travel this far,” a girl said in a low voice.\n“Shh, lower your voice in case someone hears you.” The woman in the lead sighed. “Senior Apprentice Brother Mu has his reasons. The head priest here has strength in his stride and doesn’t seem like a false person to me, so he must have some sort of skill. Even if his blessing didn’t work, it wouldn’t be too far from a real one.”\n“Sister Qingsu, you believe people too easily, it’s easy to get tricked that way,” the other girl added.\nThe head priest was standing right beside the two, but wasn’t mad when he heard the two woman call him useless. He just smiled.\n“Okay, if so, we’ll be taking our leave.” The woman with Wen as her last name cupped her fists and led the rest down the mountain.\nSuddenly, a sharp noise exploded.\n“Whoosh!” A set of silver-blue steel needles shot into the ground in front of her, forming a straight line.\nBut the woman with the last name Wen had already jumped back, avoiding the steel needles. She turned around forcefully and threw something toward a corner. “Whoosh!”\nA silver-white light flashed.\nAn irritated handsome man walked out from the corner slowly. He was holding a short black sword that blocked all the sliver-white light with a silver-blue light.\n“Wen Qingsu, it’s been a year since we last met. Do you know how I passed this year?” Underneath the man’s black jacket were layers and layers of white bandages.\n“Devil’s Hand Scholar, you did appear after all…” Wen Qingsu responded coldly. “Brother Wen Ruo, you can come out now.”\nBefore she finished speaking, a tall jacked man walked out from the people slowly. His hair was graying, and he looked old.\n“I will make you stay this time! Devil’s Hand Scholar!” The man snorted, and rushed up to attack.\nThe three started fighting in chaos. Lu Sheng watched from the side.\n‘These three are mostly using a type of energy similar to Inner Qi. They can control it perfectly, so it must be some sort of complete art.’\nAs he was thinking, one of the three started the real fight. Wen Qingsu waved her hand, and large quantities of fine silver-white sand shot out in all directions.\nBut, the Devil’s Hand Scholar just laughed. A light blue halo appeared around him, blocking all of the sand. Then, he rushed up and punched Wen Qingsu hard in the stomach, his hand moving so fast that it left shadow fragments.\nThe other bulky man also landed a fist on the Devil’s Hand Scholar’s back, but the strong power didn’t seem to do anything. Instead, the Devil’s Hand Scholar converted the force into his punch on Wen Qingsu.\n‘The winner has been decided.’ Watching to point, Lu Sheng got a grasp of how the Great Yin Dynasty fought. ‘Their martial arts don’t look like martial arts, yet their secret arts don’t look like secret arts, either. Instead, it looks like fancier martial arts. They don’t have any energy other than Inner Qi,’ Lu Sheng concluded. Watching Wen Qingsu cough up blood, a thought formed in his heart, and he melted into the shadows.\nAfter winning, the Devil’s Hand Scholar laughed and then leapt up, disappearing into the forest.\nJust because no one else could catch up to him didn’t mean Lu Sheng couldn’t. Moving his feet slightly, the force field from the blood net flew him toward the Devil’s Hand Scholar. He wasn’t sensing him through his senses, but instead, through the powerful Inner Qi in the other person’s body.\nAfter turning making many turns through the forest, Lu Sheng soon caught up to the Devil’s Hand Scholar, who was panting slightly and taking a break.\nFrom what Lu Sheng saw, although this Devil’s Hand Scholar seemed powerful, he was barely in the Realm of Snake. But, he had good techniques, and was able to use the strength from his opponent to greatly injure the enemy. Just from that, he had much talent and skill.\nLu Sheng squinted. If the Great Song people used their black membranes as brute force, then this Devil’s Hand Scholar broke open his black membrane and combined it to create a greater force and protection.\nSo, even though he was only level one in the Realm of Snake, he could deal out the same damage and defense as a level three person.\n“Hi.” Lu Sheng spread out his arms to indicate that he didn’t want trouble and walked out from his hiding place. “I won’t hurt you, don’t worry. Can we talk?” He attempted a stiff smile.\nThe Devil’s Hand Scholar had just sat down cross-legged, and was about to mediate. Hearing the voice from behind him, he jumped and almost let his Inner Qi take a wrong path and go crazy.\nAfter gasping for air and calming his jumpy heart, he turned around to look at Lu Sheng.\n“You are?” He couldn’t sense this person even with his senses. That scared him.\n“I’m just an ordinary person passing by, and I don’t know much about this place. Can you explain everything to me?” Lu Sheng walked in front of the Devil’s Hand Scholar.\n“Ordinary… person?” The Devil’s Hand Scholar felt like he was lied to, but because the other person didn’t do anything, he couldn’t do anything, either. “What do you want to ask?” He could feel the frightening aura coming off of the other person. It was so strong and forceful, he had a hard time breathing.\nLu Sheng paused, then asked all the general questions about the geography and power and everything.\nAt first, the Devil’s Hand Scholar thought Lu Sheng was testing him, so he answered everything honestly because Lu Sheng was too powerful. Only after a while did he realize that Lu Sheng was seriously asking these questions. He hurriedly answered each one, sometimes even explaining the details further.\n“Sir… can I leave?” After finishing, the Devil’s Hand Scholar asked, cautiously.\n“Of course.” Lu Sheng only stopped him to ask questions, and didn’t want to kill him.\nFrom the Devil’s Hand Scholar, Lu Sheng found out that the most powerful sect around here was the Spring Sun Sect. There were even Elemental level people in some of their branches.\nAs for Elemental Level.\nMost strong people were categorized into ordinary strong people, those who were famous in a small area, and those who were famous even across several cities.\nAfter hearing everything, Lu Sheng discovered that the Spring Sun Sect was actually a branch of a large sect that was everywhere across the nation. The sect here was only the branch of a branch.\nIn the Great Yin, all of the sects held tightly onto their territories. There were three large sects that covered everything; their branches were everywhere.\nAfter letting the Devil’s Hand Scholar go, Lu Sheng sorted through all the information he got. If they wanted to completely merge into the Great Yin, they needed to work on these three large sects.\nThe Devil’s Hand Scholar knew the Spring Sun Sect very well as he was one of their wanted criminals. Originally, he was here to sabotage the annual Rising Sun Festival, where the Spring Sun Sect accepted new disciples.\nHowever, he accidentally ran into Wen Qingsu, one of the main disciples. So, he bravely attacked her, wanting to take her down, but to no avail. Finally, he ran into Lu Sheng.\n‘I still know the customs of neither the institutions nor the martial arts. Maybe I should infiltrate first and see.’\nLu Sheng wanted to learn the things here systematically, especially the martial arts over here.\n“Rising Sun Festival… this is a chance.” The rules of the Rising Sun Festival were that you had to be under thirty and have talent and determination. Then, you might be accepted into the sect. From every angle, Lu Sheng was only 23 years old. Perfect.\n“I’m only 23…” Thinking about his age, Lu Sheng felt a bit surreal. 23… but if he added his years from his previous life, he would be over 50. He didn’t have the spirit that a 23 year old should have had.\n“Okay. Since the Spring Sun Sect is a large sect, famous across the entire nation, I’ll join it and see.”\nAfter getting near the Devil’s Hand Scholar and sensing his strength, Lu Sheng felt that the system here wasn’t the Inner Qi people in the Great Song used. Instead, it was a different type of Inner Qi, a purer and stronger form of energy.\nHe couldn’t increase his martial arts anymore, so this new situation here in the Great Yin could be perfect for him to get past this bottleneck.\nLu Sheng was a man of action. He left Sleeping Moon Mountain during the night, and after asking people and getting “friendly” directions from two mountain villages, he quickly found the place where the Rising Sun Festival would be held: Three Fruits Lake. He was soon on his way.\nFollowing the main path, Lu Sheng saw a good amount of young people also hurrying toward Three Fruits Lake.\nEven night trips couldn’t stop the passion burning in these young people’s hearts.\nThere were also carts full of children pulled by oxen. It looked like they also wanted to join the Spring Sun Sect.\nFrom the Devil’s Hand Scholar, Lu Sheng knew this was very common in the Great Yin. Everyone worshipped martial arts. Even farmers and old guys would know some type of martial art, and a strong, untrained young man might not even be able to take down an elderly man.\nBecause of this, the three big sects weren’t just normal sects in the Great Yin. They were sacred places for learning."

大阴 举族搬迁，还连带着元魔宗和赤日门这两个势力，想要在大阴站稳脚跟，不光是要这边的人接纳，还要重新划分这里的蛋糕。 而且还要在露出爪牙之时，不过分触及这里本土势力的底线。

顺着石阶走了约莫半个多时辰，速度不急不慢，路胜很快便看到了山顶古朴陈旧的宽大寺庙。
寺庙挂着牌匾，上书着三个工整却不认识的大字。
路胜一眼便看到了刚刚上来的那一队人。 他们都集中在寺庙大门右侧，正和一个小沙弥闲聊着什么。
夕阳西下，光线越发昏暗起来。
路胜也跟着走到一侧偏僻角落，在歪脖子树下站定，遥看山顶场地上的众人。
很快寺庙便开门了，这寺庙有些奇怪，居然都是晚上开门。
一队队的香客排队顺序走进庙门，由小沙弥招呼着一一捐献香油钱。 很快便轮到了路胜盯住的那一队人。
“....文施主，许久未来...”远远的路胜听到有迎客僧走出来，颇为尊敬的对那队人说道。
“派中有事耽搁了，一有空这不就来了么？” 一女子低声微笑道。
一行人走进去寺庙，约莫半柱香功夫，又缓缓走出。
带头的赫然是刚才说话的那年轻女子。 还有寺庙主持亲自送出。
路胜眯了眯眼，超强的五感瞬间便捕捉到这几人之间的对话。
“.....我春阳派最忌傍晚上香，要不是牧师兄指名要这里的开光铜钱，我等哪还用跑这么远？” 一女孩低声道。
带队女子叹气道，“牧师兄自然有他的道理。 我观那主持也是龙行虎步，不像弄虚作假之人，想必有几分本事，以他的本事开光，就算没作用，也不会差多少。”
“轻愫姐你就是太容易上当受骗了，太相信别人。” 之前女孩补充道。
那主持就站在两人身旁，听到两女明目张胆的说自己没本事，也不生气，只是笑眯眯的看着两人。
“好了，如此，我等就告辞了。” 姓文的女子微微抱拳，带着众人便开始朝着山下离开。
就在这时，一声尖啸陡然炸响。
咄咄咄咄！ 一排银蓝色钢针整齐钉入她面前的地面。 排成一条直线。
姓文女子却早已往后一顿，躲开钢针，此时强行扭转身体，扬手对着角落里就是一标。
银白色微光一闪即逝。 角落里缓缓走出一个面色狂躁的俊美男子。
男子手里拿着一把漆黑短剑，剑尖缓缓吞吐着银蓝色毫光，挡开银白微光。
“文轻愫，上次一别后，再见面已经是一年之后了，这一年你知道我是怎么过的么？” 男子外面套了件黑色外套，里面是层层叠叠的白色绷带。
“魔手书生，你果然出现了...”文轻愫冷冷道。 “文若兄，可以出来了。”
话音刚罢，人群里边缓缓走出一个上身强壮至极的魁梧男子。
魔手书生！” 男子冷哼一下，二话不说纵身便冲上去贴身打。
路胜在一旁观战。
“这三人的动作招式，运用的主要是内部类似内气的能量，动作进退有度，应该有完整传承。”
正说着，场中三人打出真火，文轻愫素手一扬，天女散花般哧哧哧哧大片银白色细沙朝四面八方爆射而出。
魔手书生却哈哈一笑，身上浮现淡蓝色光晕，将所有细沙全部挡住。
另外魁梧男子此时也一拳打在魔手书生后背心，但强悍的力量似乎对他没什么影响，反倒是被其引到了对文轻愫的一掌上。
“武学不像武学，秘术不像秘术，更像是玄幻一点的武道。 他们体内没有内气之外的任何能量。” 他总结着，看着文轻愫被打得吐血，他心中微微一动，隐入阴影中。
魔手书生得逞后，哈哈一笑，纵身飞跃，几下便没入树林中消失不见。
别人赶不上，不代表路胜赶不上，他脚下一动，血网力场带着自己急速朝魔手书生飞去。 不是通过五感感知，而是通过对方体内运转的强悍内气。
在山林中东拐西拐后，很快路胜便追上了前面微微喘气休息的魔手书生。
从刚才的威力估算来感受，这个看起来很厉害的魔手书生，本身能量层次不过勉强到拘级，但其技巧很不错，能够将穿透力也借来一并打出，重创强敌，可见此人的天赋和技艺都很不错。
路胜眯了眯眼，如果大宋那边是粗糙的顶着黑膜硬杠，那么这魔手书生，则是将黑膜散开，不时的集中起来发挥更大威力，更强防护。
这让他明明只是拘级一纹层次的总能量，却能发挥出三纹层面的杀伤力和防御力。
“你好。” 路胜张开双臂走出藏身处，示意自己没有恶意。 “你好，我不会伤害你，放心，能谈谈么？”
魔手书生正准备盘膝闭目调息，忽然听到身后后传来声音，吓得浑身一抖，差点没岔气走火入魔。
他大口大口喘息几次后，才缓缓平复刚才被吓到的心脏。 这才转过身看向路胜。
“你是？” 以他的感知力，居然都察觉不到此人，这真的是吓到他了。
“我是路过的普通人，对这里不是很了解，你可以给我好好介绍一二吗？” 路胜站到魔手书生面前。
他也没法发泄。 “你想问什么？” 他已经感觉到对方排山倒海一般的恐怖气息，这气息压得他有些喘不过气来。
路胜顿了顿，关于附近地形势力等一股脑的问题常识全部问出来。
魔手书生开始还以为是铺垫测试他，这位前辈功力深厚，他也就老老实实的一一回答，但后面才发现，路胜是真的在认真询问。 他迅速一一作答，还对一些细节方面多做详细解释。
“前辈....我可以走了么？” 说完后，魔手书生小心翼翼问。
路胜只是拦住对方询问情况，并不打算干掉他。
他从魔手书生这里得知。 附近最大最强的，就是春阳派，他们的分支派主甚至有地元级高手。
所谓地元级。
大阴把江湖上高手，分为普通好手、以及在一小块区域内小有名气、再到一城数城都回响他们的威名。
路胜问清楚情况，知道春阳派其实是一个横跨全国的大宗门旗下的支脉，这里不过只是分支中的分支。
在大阴，帮派宗门对于各地的把持非常紧密，一共三大宗门如烈日当空，覆盖一切，哪里都有他们的分支。
放走魔手书生后，路胜稍微整理了下思路，要想彻底融入大阴，看来还得从这三大宗门入手。
魔手书生作为春阳派的通缉犯，对其非常了解，原本他是准备前来破坏一年一度的春阳派招收弟子的生阳节。
没想到偶然遇到其中的真传弟子文轻愫，于是悍然出手，打算拿下对方，可惜还是没得逞。 最后也意外遇到了路胜。
“这边的文字和武道，风俗习俗都不明，倒是可以先潜入其中看看。”
路胜有心想系统的学习这边的东西。 特别是这边的武道体系。
“生阳节....这倒是个机会。” 生阳节的限制条件，是三十岁以下的所有人，只要有资质，有毅力，就有机会加入春阳派。
“原来我今年才二十三....”路胜想起自己年岁，忽然有些恍惚，二十三....但加上前世的年纪，他已经是五十多的人了。
“就这样吧，既然春阳派的上级是整个大阴都有名的大宗门，先拜入其中，探探情况再说。”
从魔手书生身上，他近距离感知后，隐隐感觉这边的体系，似乎不是大宋的普通内气体系，而是另外一种类似内气，但又更加纯净强大的能量体系。
正好他如今的武道方面，已经没办法再提升，这大阴的情况，正好有可能帮助他突破瓶颈。
想到就做，路胜连夜离开宿月山，找了人询问，在经过两处山中居民的‘友好’指路后，他很快便找到了前往生阳节举办地，三果湖，并很快上了那个方向的主干道。
沿着主道一路往前，稀稀疏疏的他也看到不少人，都是和他一样的年轻人朝着三果湖赶去。
就算是夜路也不能阻挡这些年轻人的尚武之心。
另外还有一些牛车拉着不少童子，看来也是想要加入春阳派。
路胜从魔手书生那里得知，大阴王朝里，这样的情景很正常，所有人都尚武，就算是农家老汉都会几手庄稼把式，没练过的壮汉还不一定能打得过老人家。
正因为如此，所以三大宗门在大阴，不只是普通的武道门派，也更是无数人心中的武学圣地。

To have a solid base in the Great Yin after relocating a family and two forces—the Prime Devil Sect and the Crimson Sun Sect—Lu Sheng needed the people to accept them. Not only that, but also to give them a piece of cake. So, he needed to make sure that when they showed their fangs, they wouldn’t cross the baseline of the locals here.
So, after clearing the path, Lu Sheng made his way straight to the Great Yin, and prepared to continue clearing the road for the main group and create a place for themselves.
He had heard about the most powerful sect in this area, the Spring Sun Sect, from the hunters. Many wealthy and powerful families nearby wanted to send their children to the Spring Sun Sect. Within the nearest hundred li, getting into the Spring Sun Sect would provide the best future possible.
So, when Lu Sheng saw the people with the same tokens, he immediately thought of the Spring Sun Sect.
He stood up, stretching out his wrists and ankles, then started climbing the stone steps up the mountain.
After about an hour of walking on the stone steps, Lu Sheng unhurriedly came to the large temple. It was at the top of the mountain, old and simple.
There was a board across the temple, with three neat characters on it that Lu Sheng didn’t recognize.
Lu Sheng instantly saw the couple of people that just walked up. The congregated to the right of the temple doors, talking with a young Buddhist apprentice.
The sun was setting, and it was getting dark.
Lu Sheng walked to an isolated corner, and stopped under a tree, watching the rest of the people.
Soon, the temple opened its doors. The temples were weird, considering how they only opened at night.
People walked inside in order, donating money as the young apprentice indicated. Soon, it was the turn of the group that Lu Sheng had his eyes on. “… Benefactor
Wen, I haven’t seen you in a while…” From far away, Lu Sheng heard a welcoming priest greet that group of people respectfully.
A woman smiled, and said quietly, “I got bogged down by some matters in the sect. See, I came as soon as I could.”
The group of people entered the temple. They stayed inside for about ten minutes, then walked out.
The leader of the group was the woman who’d just spoken, but what was surprising was that the head priest walked them out.
Lu Sheng squinted as his sharp senses captured the conversation between the few people present.
“… Our Spring Sun Sect is very strict about not coming to the temple at night. If it weren’t for Senior Apprentice Brother Mu specifying that he wanted the blessed bronze coins from this place, we wouldn’t even have to travel this far,” a girl said in a low voice.
“Shh, lower your voice in case someone hears you.” The woman in the lead sighed. “Senior Apprentice Brother Mu has his reasons. The head priest here has strength in his stride and doesn’t seem like a false person to me, so he must have some sort of skill. Even if his blessing didn’t work, it wouldn’t be too far from a real one.”
“Sister Qingsu, you believe people too easily, it’s easy to get tricked that way,” the other girl added.
The head priest was standing right beside the two, but wasn’t mad when he heard the two woman call him useless. He just smiled.
“Okay, if so, we’ll be taking our leave.” The woman with Wen as her last name cupped her fists and led the rest down the mountain.
Suddenly, a sharp noise exploded.
“Whoosh!” A set of silver-blue steel needles shot into the ground in front of her, forming a straight line.
But the woman with the last name Wen had already jumped back, avoiding the steel needles. She turned around forcefully and threw something toward a corner. “Whoosh!”
A silver-white light flashed.
An irritated handsome man walked out from the corner slowly. He was holding a short black sword that blocked all the sliver-white light with a silver-blue light.
“Wen Qingsu, it’s been a year since we last met. Do you know how I passed this year?” Underneath the man’s black jacket were layers and layers of white bandages.
“Devil’s Hand Scholar, you did appear after all…” Wen Qingsu responded coldly. “Brother Wen Ruo, you can come out now.”
Before she finished speaking, a tall jacked man walked out from the people slowly. His hair was graying, and he looked old.
“I will make you stay this time! Devil’s Hand Scholar!” The man snorted, and rushed up to attack.
The three started fighting in chaos. Lu Sheng watched from the side.
‘These three are mostly using a type of energy similar to Inner Qi. They can control it perfectly, so it must be some sort of complete art.’
As he was thinking, one of the three started the real fight. Wen Qingsu waved her hand, and large quantities of fine silver-white sand shot out in all directions.
But, the Devil’s Hand Scholar just laughed. A light blue halo appeared around him, blocking all of the sand. Then, he rushed up and punched Wen Qingsu hard in the stomach, his hand moving so fast that it left shadow fragments.
The other bulky man also landed a fist on the Devil’s Hand Scholar’s back, but the strong power didn’t seem to do anything. Instead, the Devil’s Hand Scholar converted the force into his punch on Wen Qingsu.
‘The winner has been decided.’ Watching to point, Lu Sheng got a grasp of how the Great Yin Dynasty fought. ‘Their martial arts don’t look like martial arts, yet their secret arts don’t look like secret arts, either. Instead, it looks like fancier martial arts. They don’t have any energy other than Inner Qi,’ Lu Sheng concluded. Watching Wen Qingsu cough up blood, a thought formed in his heart, and he melted into the shadows.
After winning, the Devil’s Hand Scholar laughed and then leapt up, disappearing into the forest.
Just because no one else could catch up to him didn’t mean Lu Sheng couldn’t. Moving his feet slightly, the force field from the blood net flew him toward the Devil’s Hand Scholar. He wasn’t sensing him through his senses, but instead, through the powerful Inner Qi in the other person’s body.
After turning making many turns through the forest, Lu Sheng soon caught up to the Devil’s Hand Scholar, who was panting slightly and taking a break.
From what Lu Sheng saw, although this Devil’s Hand Scholar seemed powerful, he was barely in the Realm of Snake. But, he had good techniques, and was able to use the strength from his opponent to greatly injure the enemy. Just from that, he had much talent and skill.
Lu Sheng squinted. If the Great Song people used their black membranes as brute force, then this Devil’s Hand Scholar broke open his black membrane and combined it to create a greater force and protection.
So, even though he was only level one in the Realm of Snake, he could deal out the same damage and defense as a level three person.
“Hi.” Lu Sheng spread out his arms to indicate that he didn’t want trouble and walked out from his hiding place. “I won’t hurt you, don’t worry. Can we talk?” He attempted a stiff smile.
The Devil’s Hand Scholar had just sat down cross-legged, and was about to mediate. Hearing the voice from behind him, he jumped and almost let his Inner Qi take a wrong path and go crazy.
After gasping for air and calming his jumpy heart, he turned around to look at Lu Sheng.
“You are?” He couldn’t sense this person even with his senses. That scared him.
“I’m just an ordinary person passing by, and I don’t know much about this place. Can you explain everything to me?” Lu Sheng walked in front of the Devil’s Hand Scholar.
“Ordinary… person?” The Devil’s Hand Scholar felt like he was lied to, but because the other person didn’t do anything, he couldn’t do anything, either. “What do you want to ask?” He could feel the frightening aura coming off of the other person. It was so strong and forceful, he had a hard time breathing.
Lu Sheng paused, then asked all the general questions about the geography and power and everything.
At first, the Devil’s Hand Scholar thought Lu Sheng was testing him, so he answered everything honestly because Lu Sheng was too powerful. Only after a while did he realize that Lu Sheng was seriously asking these questions. He hurriedly answered each one, sometimes even explaining the details further.
“Sir… can I leave?” After finishing, the Devil’s Hand Scholar asked, cautiously.
“Of course.” Lu Sheng only stopped him to ask questions, and didn’t want to kill him.
From the Devil’s Hand Scholar, Lu Sheng found out that the most powerful sect around here was the Spring Sun Sect. There were even Elemental level people in some of their branches.
As for Elemental Level.
Most strong people were categorized into ordinary strong people, those who were famous in a small area, and those who were famous even across several cities.
After hearing everything, Lu Sheng discovered that the Spring Sun Sect was actually a branch of a large sect that was everywhere across the nation. The sect here was only the branch of a branch.
In the Great Yin, all of the sects held tightly onto their territories. There were three large sects that covered everything; their branches were everywhere.
After letting the Devil’s Hand Scholar go, Lu Sheng sorted through all the information he got. If they wanted to completely merge into the Great Yin, they needed to work on these three large sects.
The Devil’s Hand Scholar knew the Spring Sun Sect very well as he was one of their wanted criminals. Originally, he was here to sabotage the annual Rising Sun Festival, where the Spring Sun Sect accepted new disciples.
However, he accidentally ran into Wen Qingsu, one of the main disciples. So, he bravely attacked her, wanting to take her down, but to no avail. Finally, he ran into Lu Sheng.
‘I still know the customs of neither the institutions nor the martial arts. Maybe I should infiltrate first and see.’
Lu Sheng wanted to learn the things here systematically, especially the martial arts over here.
“Rising Sun Festival… this is a chance.” The rules of the Rising Sun Festival were that you had to be under thirty and have talent and determination. Then, you might be accepted into the sect. From every angle, Lu Sheng was only 23 years old. Perfect.
“I’m only 23…” Thinking about his age, Lu Sheng felt a bit surreal. 23… but if he added his years from his previous life, he would be over 50. He didn’t have the spirit that a 23 year old should have had.
“Okay. Since the Spring Sun Sect is a large sect, famous across the entire nation, I’ll join it and see.”
After getting near the Devil’s Hand Scholar and sensing his strength, Lu Sheng felt that the system here wasn’t the Inner Qi people in the Great Song used. Instead, it was a different type of Inner Qi, a purer and stronger form of energy.
He couldn’t increase his martial arts anymore, so this new situation here in the Great Yin could be perfect for him to get past this bottleneck.
Lu Sheng was a man of action. He left Sleeping Moon Mountain during the night, and after asking people and getting “friendly” directions from two mountain villages, he quickly found the place where the Rising Sun Festival would be held: Three Fruits Lake. He was soon on his way.
Following the main path, Lu Sheng saw a good amount of young people also hurrying toward Three Fruits Lake.
Even night trips couldn’t stop the passion burning in these young people’s hearts.
There were also carts full of children pulled by oxen. It looked like they also wanted to join the Spring Sun Sect.
From the Devil’s Hand Scholar, Lu Sheng knew this was very common in the Great Yin. Everyone worshipped martial arts. Even farmers and old guys would know some type of martial art, and a strong, untrained young man might not even be able to take down an elderly man.
Because of this, the three big sects weren’t just normal sects in the Great Yin. They were sacred places for learning.

"value": "Qing Shui waved towards Chi Feng and the old man, Chi Ao. The two strode into the air and landed on the Fire Bird's back as a high pitch bird’s cry rang out. They looked toward the three waving figures growing increasingly smaller until they totally disappeared.\nAfter not seeing each other for a night, Yu He felt that something about Qing Shui had changed. She didn't know how to describe it, but she could feel something was different even when he was only standing beside her.\nQing Shui was astonished at a woman's senses when he saw how Yu He stared at him. He smiled and looked at her. His gaze at this moment was very straightforward, unlike how it had appeared in the past, as if he was holding onto some burden.\nThe Fire Bird entered a barren land. This was the barren land between the Eastern Victory Divine Continent and the Central Continent. They would need to spend quite a long period of time cross this place.\nNine Continents Steps!\nNine Continents Steps!\nQing Shui used two Nine Continents Steps in a row. However, they couldn't reach any cities and it was just barren land. This was already the ninth day they had been in this stretch of land and right now, the skies were starting to turn dark.\nThis was considered the central area in this barren land. Basically, they could come into danger at any time. The two of them held onto each other. Although they weren't lovers, they hugged each other tightly.\nQing Shui had let himself loose, at least, more so than before. Right now, he wasn't as restrained or ashamed compared to when he had hugged Yu He in the past. The relationship between a man and a woman was one that came deep from their hearts and since they loved each other, he didn't wish to overthink things.\n\"Sister Yu, do I have good fortune?\" Qing Shui smiled and hugged Yu He.\nHe wasn't nervous now, but was still a little uneasy. Although the two of them appeared to be very close during the journey, they did nothing more than hugging and could only be said to be bosom friends.\nYu He's body trembled slightly and she lifted her head a bit, looking at Qing Shui's elegant and handsome face. It now seemed to be more mature than before, without the childish feel he had in the past. His eyes were dark and deep, but yet still as clear as before.\nThe corner of Yu He's lips curled up, but she didn't say a word. However, her smile said everything. Moreover, Qing Shui was no idiot. It would be easy for her to get a guy if she wished to do so and she could find one that could fulfill any conditions she might have. However, she remained single to date and no matter how much he couldn't understand of what she was thinking, it would be impossible for him to overlook all this. Otherwise, what would Yu He think of him?\n\"I don't want you to say this for other reasons. If you don't have me in your heart, Sister Yu is willing to continue on like this alone.\" Yu He lifted her head and looked at him, blushing.\n\"There's no love which has neither rhyme nor reason. No matter what the reason is, love is love.\" Qing Shui smiled and looked at her.\n\"Then tell me, what do you like about me?\" She looked hesitantly at Qing Shui.\n\"You're beautiful!\" Qing Shui smiled and said.\n\"This doesn’t count. I've seen the women around you. Don't you use that on me.\" Yu He chided.\n\"You're very pretty. I like how foolish and stubborn you are. You have always been in my heart, always,\" he looked at Yu He and said seriously.\nYu He looked into Qing Shui's clear eyes and broke into a smile. She then suddenly landed a peck on his lips before she pushed him away and landed on the ground. \"I'm hungry, let's make something to eat!\" Yu He's voice rang out.\nAt that moment, Qing Shui felt the softness on his lips. It made him tremble. He then followed after Yu He. There were no mountains in the area, but there was a stretch of towering ancient forest which was very dark and which occasionally exuded the presence of wild beasts.\n\"Mmm, there's someone around!\"\nQing Shui looked towards Yu He and realized that she was also straining toward the same direction. It was in the ancient forest not far away.\n\"Eldest Brother, we've finally exit this wretched forest. We can't even find a woman in this wilderness.\" A bright voice rang out.\n\"3rd Brother, this place is very dangerous. Be on your guard. Don't always be thinking about women. One day, you'll find yourself dead in a woman's arms.\" A deep and powerful voice rang out.\n\"3rd Brother has been trying hard to hold it in for so many days. Eldest Brother had forbidden him to bring any women along when we came and he hasn't touched a woman for an entire month.\"\n\"It's really rare to see this. If we were in Sky City, 3rd Brother will definitely not be able to resist touching a woman for more than three days. Humans are really creatures who are pushed to their limits.\"\nA series of laughs rang out, but they stopped quickly. It was because they saw two people standing not far away from them. The moon was bright tonight and they could see their surroundings very clearly.\nYu He furrowed her brows. Qing Shui was still ok but he overheard something they said—Sky City. They must have came from Sky City.\nThere were five men in the lead, with over ten others that followed behind them. Since these people dared to cross this wilderness, they were naturally not weak. When the few of them saw Qing Shui and Yu He, they were not shocked, but looked at them happily.\n\"3rd Brother, to think that we can encounter such a beauty in this wilderness. Even I can't hold it in anymore. They say a night when the moon is hung high up is a night well suited for murder. However, I don't wish to kill tonight. It's too dampening,\" the thinnest man on the extreme right smiled and said.\n\"5th Brother, don't be reckless. If we're not careful, all of us might be in danger,\" a middle-aged man on the left bellowed.\n\"Eldest Brother, they're are so young. How strong could they be?\"\n\"Hmmm, isn't that guy like the person who trampled our Octagon Inn?\" A man on the left who had not spoken till now suddenly said.\n\"Hmmm, he looks very similar to the portrait. Since we've encounter him here, it means that he should be the same person. We'll see where he can run off to this time around. Grab him! We'll bring him back and let our Sovereign and the others deal with him.\"\n\"Let's not alarm him. This fellow's skill at escaping is the best. He's very sneaky.\" A bright voice came out from the 3rd guy from the left.\nWith one look, Qing Shui could tell that they had been ranked from the left to the right. What astonished him was that these people were from the Marionette Sect and should be the younger generation of those old guys from the Marionette Sect. They were probably the most elite ones too.\nQing Shui recalled how he had desperately escaped back then and then looked at their cultivation levels. If he was still at the same level as he was back then, he would probably still have to run.\nHowever, right now, these people were nothing to him.\n\"Eldest Brother, it's decided, this woman will be mine tonight.\"\n\"We'll talk after they are captured,\" the low voice rang out.\n\"This lady is like a fairy. Count me in for tonight,\" a short man spoke out as well.\n\"5th Brother, I'll give you all of those from my home. Don't fight with me for this,\" the 3rd Brother anxiously said to the 5th Brother.\n\"You have the nerve to bring out those filthy and vulgar women? You can keep them for yourselves!\"\n\"Don't know what's better for you!\" Qing Shui saw that Yu He was frowning, wanting to take action and thus he bellowed out.\n\"You bastard. Let's see how you plan on escaping today!\" No one knew how Qing Shui had managed to escape the previous time but this time, they weren't planning on letting him escape.\n\"Call out your marionettes. Otherwise, it'll be too late for you to have regrets.\" Qing Shui didn't continue with the scuffle.\n\"Everyone attack together! Get him, dead or alive!\" The man on the left waved and dashed out toward Qing Shui.\nQing Shui shook his head. Before him, these people were like children who were learning how to walk in front of an adult. Their gap was not just a little bit. They had been blinded by age and appearances.\nBuddha's True Eyes!\nQing Shui stared at a cultivator at the back with quite a strong aura. It was a Grade Three Martial Saint.\nPa! A light sound rang out abruptly. It was a crisp sound akin to a porcelain object being smashed. Everyone couldn't help but turn toward the place where the sound came from.\nThat person was not dead but he stood there, not moving.\n\"Old Ma, what's wrong?!\"\nThe people around him pushed and shouted at him, but he had no reaction. They all suddenly felt a chill.\nQing Shui hadn't expected the Buddha's True Eyes to be so domineering. He knew that the guy's soul had been hurt by his Buddha's True Eyes.\nLegend has it that the spirit is segregated into the ethereal and corporeal soul. There are three parts to the ethereal soul, namely the heavenly soul, the earthly soul and the destiny soul.\nThere are seven parts to the corporeal soul, namely the Tianchong (Heaven Rush), Linghui (Intelligence), Qi, Li (Strength), Zhongshu (Backbone), Jing (Essence) and Ying.\nThe You Jing relates to calamities and weaknesses. It causes one to indulge in lust and other secular desires, drowning in debauched morals and depletes one’s essence. It causes a person to feel a lack of vigor, weakness to the kidneys and one’s internal organs and one’s meridian channels to be blocked.\nIn the three parts of the ethereal soul, the heavenly soul represented yang, the earthly soul represented Yin and the destiny soul represented Yang as well.\nOnce a person's destiny soul was harmed, their life would be in danger.\nThe Buddha's True Eyes directly inflicted harm on a person's soul.\nQing Shui didn't know if it was because of virtuous karma or that it had yet to reach a higher level, but the person who had been attacked would have damage on his earthly soul.\nHe hadn't expected this to be so powerful either. Each time he had used the Buddha's True Eyes, he would have to rest for a short moment. It was like accumulating power or could be said to ensure that there was a balance.\n\"Spirit attack!\" The man in the lead suddenly shouted out.\nQing Shui hadn't expected his opponent to be able to recognize his attack. He was also astonished by how powerful the Buddha's True Eyes was, despite only being at the small success stage. However, this Grade Three Martial Saint didn't seem to have any resistance to it at all.\nHe thought of his Roc's Might. The saying that the Buddha's True Eyes attacked one's soul was not exactly accurate since it was just from the legends. Basically, it attacked one's spirit energy, brain and Niwan Palace.\nLegend has it that a person's spirit was split into three immortality aspects (etheral) and seven mortal aspects (corporeal), which meant that the Buddha's True Eyes was truly an attack to one's spirit. A person's soul is his spirit and injuring one's soul would be inflicting harm on his spirit. Without the spirit, no matter how powerful one was, one could only be like a mountain and could be easily moved by others.\nAt this moment, Qing Shui seemed to have gained a new understanding on attacks with spirit energy. The Roc's Might and Buddha's True Eyes were both attacks on one's spirit, just like how both the Taichi and the Back Connecting Fist were both fist techniques.\nHowever, the degree of attacks would be different. The Roc's Might would be domineering while the Buddha's True Eyes was comparatively weaker. This was what Qing Shui felt. Right now, he had yet to master attacks on one's spirits and needed to study more into it. After all, there weren't many people who excelled in this area.\nOn the mention of attacks on one's spirit, everyone was panic-stricken. Such attacks tended to catch people unaware and only those whose spirit energy were sufficiently powerful would be able to withstand the attack. Those whose spirit energy were too weak wouldn't be able to do anything, even if they were to focus all their concentration to deal with the attacks."

青水向着老人向着赤獒赤凤摆摆手，和虞河一起踏足空中，一声高亢的鸟鸣声响起，两人踏上火鸟背上，看着向着自己摇手的三个人影越来越小，直到消失。
一夜未见，虞河似乎感受到青水再次发生一点变化，说不出来什么变化，似乎站在自己身边的感觉不一样了。
看到虞河看自己，青水暗暗惊讶女人的直觉，微笑着看着虞河，这一刻他的眼神很坦然，不像以前似乎有着什么负担一样。
火鸟飞进了荒芜之地，这里是东胜神州和中州之间的荒芜之地，以后需要很长一段时间在这一段路上度过了。
九州行！
九州行！
一连两个九州行，不过不会遇到城池，所以还是荒芜之地，这已经是他们进入这片地带的第九天了，此时天色微微黑了下来。
这也算是这片荒芜之地的中心地带，基本上这里随时都有危险，高空中拥抱的两个人，不是恋人却是紧紧的拥抱着。
青水的心放开了，至少比起以前要放开了很多，现在抱着虞河不像以前那般有种局促，或者说愧疚，男女之情发于心，两情相悦，他不想多想。
“虞姐，我有没有那个福分。” 青水笑着抱着虞河。
他现在谈不上紧张，但也有点小慌，虽然两人一路来看似亲密无间，但其实除了拥抱什么也没有做，最多算上知己。
虞河娇躯一阵，微微抬头看着青水那张清秀的俊脸，比起以往成熟了，没有了以前的稚嫩，双眼漆黑深邃但感觉还是那么的清澈。
虞河嘴角翘起并没有说话，但脸上的一丝笑意什么也表达了，再说青水也不傻，这么多年凭她想找男人很容易，而且可以找到任何条件的，但现在她依旧单身，而且和自己之间，他再不明白她的心意就说不过去了，这让虞河会怎么想。
“我不想你以其他原因才这样说，如果你心里没有我，虞姐愿意一个人这样下去。” 虞河抬头红着脸看着青水。
“没有无缘无故的爱，不论什么原因爱就是爱。” 青水笑着看着虞河。
“那你给我说说你喜欢我什么？” 虞河忐忑的看着青水。
“漂亮！” 青水笑道。
“这个不算，你身边的女人姿色我见过，少来敷衍我。” 虞河嗔道。
“你很漂亮，我喜欢你傻乎乎的执着劲，其实我心中有你，一直都有。” 青水看着虞河认真的说道。
虞河看着青水清澈的双眼，展颜一笑，猛的在青水唇上啄了一下，然后推开青水就向着下面落去：“我饿了，我们做些吃的吧！” 虞河的声音从下面传来。
青水那一瞬间唇上的柔软，还是让他一颤，那是一种感觉，跟着虞河下去，这一带没有山，但不远处却是有着一片参天古木林，黑洞洞的，不时的还传出一些野兽的气息。
“嗯，有人！”
青水看向虞河，发现她也是看着一个方向，正是不远处的古林中。
“大哥，终于走出这晦气的树林了，这荒野之地连个女人都找不到。” 一道洪亮的声音响起。
“老三，这地方很危险，提高警惕，不要整天想着女人，早晚有一天会死在女人肚皮上。” 一道低沉的男声响起，浑厚有力。
“三哥这些天可是憋坏了，这么多天，来时候大哥不让带女人，三哥可是已经一个月没有碰过女人了。”
“真是难得，要是在天空之城，三哥可是绝对不能超过三天不碰女人，人还真是逼出来的。”
周围传出一阵笑声，不过很快他们就停下了，因为他们看到不远处的站着的两人，今夜的月光还算明亮，所以可以将周围看的清清楚楚。
虞河黛眉微蹙，青水还好，只是听到一个信息，天空之城，那么他们应该是天空之城来的。
为首的有五个汉子，后面也有十几个，这些人敢度过这荒芜之地，实力自然不能弱，这个时候几个男人看到青水和虞河，并没有惊，反而惊喜的看着两人。
“三哥，荒郊野地居然能遇到如此佳人，我都要控制不住了，都说月高天黑杀人夜，但我今天不想杀人，杀人太扫兴了。” 右侧最后一个看起来瘦小的男人笑道。
“老五，不要莽撞，小心走眼大家完蛋。” 左侧的看起来中年男人出声喝止。
“大哥，他们这么年轻能厉害到那？”
“咦，你们看哪个男人像不像把我们八方楼震踏的那个小子。” 左侧一直没有说话的男人突然说道。
“咦，和那画像七分神似，在这里碰到就更是说明他就是那个小子了，这一次看他往哪里跑，抓住他回去让门主他们处置。”
“大家不要打草惊蛇，这小子逃跑的功夫一流，滑溜的很。” 一个洪亮的声音从左侧第三个大汉口中发出。
青水看着他们知道他们应该是从左侧排的，让青水惊呆的是他们这些人是傀儡门，而且应该是傀儡门那些老家伙的下一辈，还是最精锐的几个。
青水想到当初狼狈逃窜，再看看眼前这些人的实力，如果当初自己的实力遇到这些人估计还是要逃跑。
但现在这些人在自己面前连个屁都不是。
“大哥，说好了，这个女的今天晚上是我的。”
“先抓住再说。” 低沉的声音响起。
“这个女人如天仙一样，反正今天我也算一份。”
矮小的汉子也出声。 “老五，我把家里的都给你，这个你不要给我抢。” 老三急着向着老五说道。
“那些庸俗脂粉你也好意思拿出来，你自己留着吧！”
“不知死活！” 青水看着虞河眉头皱起想要动手，他便出生喝道。
“小畜生，我看你今天怎么逃？” 上一次其实谁也不知道青水是怎么逃的，但这一次他们是不会让青水跑的。
“招出你们的傀儡吧，不然到时候后悔就晚了。” 青水也没有去和对方对骂。
“大伙一起上，死活不论。” 左侧为首的男人一挥手向着青水冲过去。
青水摇摇头，这些人在自己面前，就像一个蹒跚学步的小孩站在一个强壮的大人面前一样，差距不是一丁半点，他们被年龄和外表迷惑了。
佛家真眼！
青水双目向着后面一个势力不错的武者，至尊三级的武者。
啪！ 一声轻响，这一声很突兀，那是一种如摔碎瓷器的清脆响声，所有人都是忍不住看向声音传出来的地方。
那个人倒是没死，却是傻傻的站在那里一动不动。
“老马，你怎么了！”
周围人又是推又是喊，却是没有任何反应，周围的人突然感觉身上都是一冷。
而青水也没有想到佛家真眼真是霸道，因为他知道对方被自己的佛家真眼伤到了对方的魂魄。
传说人的精神分为魂魄，魂有三，一为天魂，二为地魂，三为命魂。
三魂，一名胎光，太清阳和之气，属于天，二名爽灵，阴气之变，属于五行，三名幽精，阴气之杂，属于地。
胎光主生命，久居人身则可使入神清气爽，益寿延年。 幽精主灾衰，使人好色嗜欲，溺于秽乱之思，耗损精华，神气缺少，肾气不足，脾胃五脉不通。
三魂之中。 天魂为阳，地魂为阴，命魂又为阳。
一旦命魂被伤生命受到威胁。
佛家真眼就是直接伤人魂魄的。
也不知道这佛家真眼是因为善还是境界没有达到，现在被攻击的人应该是被青水伤了对方的地魂。
他也没有想到这么强大，每一次使出佛家真眼都需要停留一段时间，就像是蓄力，又或者说是制衡。
“精神攻击！” 突然那个为首的汉子惊呼一声。
青水也没有想到对方居然能认出来，他也为佛家真眼强大暗暗心惊，这才是小成，但这至尊三级的实力似乎没有一点点抵抗力。
想到自己的大鹏之威，佛家真眼是攻击对方的魂魄，这只是个不准确的说法，毕竟是传说，说的白点就是攻击对方的精神力，攻击对方的大脑以及泥丸宫。
传说就是把人的精神分为三魂七魄，可见佛家真眼攻击的还是对方的精神，一个人的灵魂就是精神，伤人灵魂就是伤对方精神，一个人没了精神，肉体在强大也只能像是一个山，是要被人搬开的。
这一刻青水似乎对精神力攻击的认识又多认识了一层，大鹏之威和佛家真眼都算是精神攻击，就像太极拳和通背拳都是拳法一样。
但应该攻击的程度不同，大鹏之威应该是霸道，而佛家真眼相对阴柔一点，这是青水的感觉，现在青水在这种精神攻击上也很欠缺，需要摸索，毕竟精通精神攻击的人太少了。
一提到精神攻击那些人都是心惊胆战，精神攻击在无形中，令人防不胜防，只有精神力足够强大，不用防也能防住，精神力不够就是聚精会神也没有用。

Qing Shui waved towards Chi Feng and the old man, Chi Ao. The two strode into the air and landed on the Fire Bird's back as a high pitch bird’s cry rang out. They looked toward the three waving figures growing increasingly smaller until they totally disappeared.
After not seeing each other for a night, Yu He felt that something about Qing Shui had changed. She didn't know how to describe it, but she could feel something was different even when he was only standing beside her.
Qing Shui was astonished at a woman's senses when he saw how Yu He stared at him. He smiled and looked at her. His gaze at this moment was very straightforward, unlike how it had appeared in the past, as if he was holding onto some burden.
The Fire Bird entered a barren land. This was the barren land between the Eastern Victory Divine Continent and the Central Continent. They would need to spend quite a long period of time cross this place.
Nine Continents Steps!
Nine Continents Steps!
Qing Shui used two Nine Continents Steps in a row. However, they couldn't reach any cities and it was just barren land. This was already the ninth day they had been in this stretch of land and right now, the skies were starting to turn dark.
This was considered the central area in this barren land. Basically, they could come into danger at any time. The two of them held onto each other. Although they weren't lovers, they hugged each other tightly.
Qing Shui had let himself loose, at least, more so than before. Right now, he wasn't as restrained or ashamed compared to when he had hugged Yu He in the past. The relationship between a man and a woman was one that came deep from their hearts and since they loved each other, he didn't wish to overthink things.
"Sister Yu, do I have good fortune?" Qing Shui smiled and hugged Yu He.
He wasn't nervous now, but was still a little uneasy. Although the two of them appeared to be very close during the journey, they did nothing more than hugging and could only be said to be bosom friends.
Yu He's body trembled slightly and she lifted her head a bit, looking at Qing Shui's elegant and handsome face. It now seemed to be more mature than before, without the childish feel he had in the past. His eyes were dark and deep, but yet still as clear as before.
The corner of Yu He's lips curled up, but she didn't say a word. However, her smile said everything. Moreover, Qing Shui was no idiot. It would be easy for her to get a guy if she wished to do so and she could find one that could fulfill any conditions she might have. However, she remained single to date and no matter how much he couldn't understand of what she was thinking, it would be impossible for him to overlook all this. Otherwise, what would Yu He think of him?
"I don't want you to say this for other reasons. If you don't have me in your heart, Sister Yu is willing to continue on like this alone." Yu He lifted her head and looked at him, blushing.
"There's no love which has neither rhyme nor reason. No matter what the reason is, love is love." Qing Shui smiled and looked at her.
"Then tell me, what do you like about me?" She looked hesitantly at Qing Shui.
"You're beautiful!" Qing Shui smiled and said.
"This doesn’t count. I've seen the women around you. Don't you use that on me." Yu He chided.
"You're very pretty. I like how foolish and stubborn you are. You have always been in my heart, always," he looked at Yu He and said seriously.
Yu He looked into Qing Shui's clear eyes and broke into a smile. She then suddenly landed a peck on his lips before she pushed him away and landed on the ground. "I'm hungry, let's make something to eat!" Yu He's voice rang out.
At that moment, Qing Shui felt the softness on his lips. It made him tremble. He then followed after Yu He. There were no mountains in the area, but there was a stretch of towering ancient forest which was very dark and which occasionally exuded the presence of wild beasts.
"Mmm, there's someone around!"
Qing Shui looked towards Yu He and realized that she was also straining toward the same direction. It was in the ancient forest not far away.
"Eldest Brother, we've finally exit this wretched forest. We can't even find a woman in this wilderness." A bright voice rang out.
"3rd Brother, this place is very dangerous. Be on your guard. Don't always be thinking about women. One day, you'll find yourself dead in a woman's arms." A deep and powerful voice rang out.
"3rd Brother has been trying hard to hold it in for so many days. Eldest Brother had forbidden him to bring any women along when we came and he hasn't touched a woman for an entire month."
"It's really rare to see this. If we were in Sky City, 3rd Brother will definitely not be able to resist touching a woman for more than three days. Humans are really creatures who are pushed to their limits."
A series of laughs rang out, but they stopped quickly. It was because they saw two people standing not far away from them. The moon was bright tonight and they could see their surroundings very clearly.

However, I don't wish to kill tonight. It's too dampening," the thinnest man on the extreme right smiled and said.
"5th Brother, don't be reckless. If we're not careful, all of us might be in danger," a middle-aged man on the left bellowed.
"Eldest Brother, they're are so young. How strong could they be?"
"Hmmm, isn't that guy like the person who trampled our Octagon Inn?" A man on the left who had not spoken till now suddenly said.
"Hmmm, he looks very similar to the portrait. Since we've encounter him here, it means that he should be the same person. We'll see where he can run off to this time around. Grab him! We'll bring him back and let our Sovereign and the others deal with him."

"5th Brother, I'll give you all of those from my home. Don't fight with me for this," the 3rd Brother anxiously said to the 5th Brother.

Qing Shui shook his head. Before him, these people were like children who were learning how to walk in front of an adult. Their gap was not just a little bit. They had been blinded by age and appearances.
Buddha's True Eyes!
Qing Shui stared at a cultivator at the back with quite a strong aura. It was a Grade Three Martial Saint.
Pa! A light sound rang out abruptly. It was a crisp sound akin to a porcelain object being smashed. Everyone couldn't help but turn toward the place where the sound came from.
That person was not dead but he stood there, not moving.
"Old Ma, what's wrong?!"
The people around him pushed and shouted at him, but he had no reaction. They all suddenly felt a chill.
Qing Shui hadn't expected the Buddha's True Eyes to be so domineering. He knew that the guy's soul had been hurt by his Buddha's True Eyes.
Legend has it that the spirit is segregated into the ethereal and corporeal soul. There are three parts to the ethereal soul, namely the heavenly soul, the earthly soul and the destiny soul.
There are seven parts to the corporeal soul, namely the Tianchong (Heaven Rush), Linghui (Intelligence), Qi, Li (Strength), Zhongshu (Backbone), Jing (Essence) and Ying.
The You Jing relates to calamities and weaknesses. It causes one to indulge in lust and other secular desires, drowning in debauched morals and depletes one’s essence. It causes a person to feel a lack of vigor, weakness to the kidneys and one’s internal organs and one’s meridian channels to be blocked.
In the three parts of the ethereal soul, the heavenly soul represented yang, the earthly soul represented Yin and the destiny soul represented Yang as well.
Once a person's destiny soul was harmed, their life would be in danger.
The Buddha's True Eyes directly inflicted harm on a person's soul.
Qing Shui didn't know if it was because of virtuous karma or that it had yet to reach a higher level, but the person who had been attacked would have damage on his earthly soul.
He hadn't expected this to be so powerful either. Each time he had used the Buddha's True Eyes, he would have to rest for a short moment. It was like accumulating power or could be said to ensure that there was a balance.
"Spirit attack!" The man in the lead suddenly shouted out.
Qing Shui hadn't expected his opponent to be able to recognize his attack. He was also astonished by how powerful the Buddha's True Eyes was, despite only being at the small success stage. However, this Grade Three Martial Saint didn't seem to have any resistance to it at all.

"value": "Chapter 253: Who to Play the Role of\nFor Fang Zhao, military service was a really special experience. This was the first time he had gone into outer space and the first time he had personally seen the large strides humanity had taken in space travel.\nBattlefields would not just be limited to a single planet. In the future, even if planets with immigrants had conflicts or disputes, humanity and civilization would continue moving forward and expanding even farther into space. Should a catastrophe occur on a planet, there were other planets that could provide refuge for humans. There was no need to worry about a calamity like humankind being nearly wiped out during the Period of Destruction ever happening again.\nAnd during the course of his military service, Fang Zhao had gained even more inspiration for his compositions.\nIn short, Fang Zhao was very satisfied with his own military service experience. Many people advised him to stay on in the military, including Shanta, who had mentioned it multiple times. As long as Fang Zhao chose to remain at Baiji military district, he might even rise to the rank of general in the future.\nBut Fang Zhao still rejected this notion. In his previous life, it could be said that he sacrificed a lot for the great cause of surviving, so much so that he was unable to endure until the Founding Era. In this lifetime, Fang Zhao just wished to enjoy as much as he could, although many people would not be able to comprehend his sort of \"enjoying.\"\nAfter Memorial Day passed, the batch of conscripts who had started their military service together with Fang Zhao all started to get restless. Whether they wished to remain on planet Baiji or return home after military service, these people all started making plans.\nGiven planet Baiji's development, they no longer had to suffer what Baiji conscripts of the past had gone through—that is, being isolated from the world. Now, the amount of time they could go online had increased, and on days off, they could still head to the newly constructed places of entertainment and have fun, even if those weren't all open yet.\nAfter Memorial Day, the entertainment circles were also shaken up.\nNews of the revolutionary film project being rebooted broke out. Media firms, reporters, and paparazzi from every single continent felt that their own springtime had come!\nHow many topics could be generated just from this revolutionary film project? How many livelihoods could it feed?\nA short while back, it had been reported that a certain paparazzo had dirt on a certain film superstar. That superstar had spent tens of millions to purchase the incriminating information from the paparazzo to protect his reputation.\nTherefore, promotions, pay raises, and perhaps an overnight fortune were not out of the question. It all depended on who had the ability to seize such big news!\nHowever, well-informed parties had already started their preparations a few months earlier. Now all they were waiting for was the official announcement and the information that would be laid out for the public.\nFor the sake of snagging a satisfactory role in the revolutionary film project, big-name film superstars from every continent had started to move. The teams behind them had already prepared a series of publicity-boosting plans and campaigns.\nOver at Silver Wing's side, Duan Qianji had already used the historical dramas shot on real physical sets to give a popularity boost to the company's few big-name superstar actors and actresses. They still could not afford to relax, though—this was not a competition within Yanzhou alone. This was a competition between all the entertainment circles on a global scale!\nThere were only so few roles, and there were so many actors and actresses. Anyone who studied history knew what sort of characters there were. At this sort of time, superstars of every continent saw their value depreciating. Only each continent's first-rate megastars with global appeal would be able to vie for the lead roles.\nNormally, Fang Zhao would also have paid attention to entertainment news and any trending news regarding this revolutionary film project. The script was still being discussed and the consultant team and screenwriters were exchanging thoughts and views, but it was approaching the end stage and was close to being finalized.\nFang Zhao's military service was also coming to an end soon, and Shanta had informed him beforehand.\n\"Before your batch is decommissioned, there will be one more large commendation ceremony, and you will be among the recipients. When the time comes, you will be promoted one rank and the bonus when your service ends will increase as well. However, have you really decided not to stay on?\"\n\"I have already made plans for a concert performance at a music hall,\" Fang Zhao replied.\n\"All right. Then I shall wish you all the best with your concert. You are welcome back any time.\" Shanta really wished he could retain the services of Fang Zhao. Not even mentioning Fang Zhao's rumored divine ears, he didn't want to let go of Fang Zhao's combat ability. What a pity that Fang Zhao had actually chosen to be an artistic youth!\nAfter speaking with Shanta, Fang Zhao discovered that an entertainment news company had set up a survey through a voting system to see which superstars the masses thought should play the roles of the important leaders during the Period of Destruction.\nBelow every Founding Era leader's character, there were over 10 listed big-name film stars from every continent.\nWhat attracted Fang Zhao's attention was the role of that \"Fang Zhao,\" where there were also more than 10 film stars listed.\n\"For sure, the roles of the Founding Era great generals will surely be played by members of their own families. If not, those roles will be selected by them. However, for this sort of revolutionary film project, playing a minor role in it is enough for someone to brag for half his lifetime.\"\n\"I just took out my secondary school history e-textbook for a read. This character 'Fang Zhao' had a rather important role during that period but was unfortunate enough to pass on a little early. Now there aren't even any aristocratic families with the family name Fang. Since this is the case, I feel that the film emperors of every continent will be vying for this role.\"\n\"The ill-fated leader of Yanzhou was actually called 'Fang Zhao'! Why don't they let Fang Zhao play the role? Yeah, the one I'm talking about is that 'mythical beast' with the pair of really expensive ears.\"\n\"Hahahaha, that sounds feasible. Let Fang Zhao play the role of Fang Zhao!\"\n\"They should try it out!\"\n\"Stop joking! Fang Zhao's gaming in 'Battle of the Century' is rather impressive, sure. His actual combat ability is legit too—after all, he has garnered so many military merits—but he might not necessarily be able to act. He isn't an actor, after all.\"\nThe online voting activity was little more than a means of generating discussion and conveniently obtaining statistics of the masses' opinions and which stars they felt were most appropriate for which role. The final results would also give the investors of the revolutionary film project some data to consider.\nOf course, there were huge profits to be made for this voting activity, because for the voting, there were two choices. For every role, everyone had a free chance to vote, and besides that, they could also place a wager.\nThe latter choice added an element of fun to the voting, and the market was huge. After all, every one of these listed stars had a large following of fans. Even if only one percent of these fans placed a wager, it would still be a massive figure.\nThe number of people who had placed a wager and how much they had placed were not displayed. After voting, one could only see a bar chart showing the support that each star had.\nFang Zhao looked at the comments and the bar chart. Online audiences that did not know anything and were purely joining in on the fun had made him the most voted option.\n\"Let Fang Zhao play the role of Fang Zhao\" also became a topic for laughs.\nSometimes, people would say one thing, but in their hearts, they would be thinking something else. For example, some people said this: That person might not necessarily be able to act. But in their hearts, what they were thinking was this: If not him, who else can do so?\nAnd now, although these people were saying to just \"Let Fang Zhao play the role of Fang Zhao! He has the exact same name and can even fight beasts!\" in fact, their hearts were laughing. If Fang Zhao can act for such an important role, then even pigs can fly!\nWhile Fang Zhao was viewing the voting activity, there were also many people paying attention to it on planet Wai.\nZaro was currently filming the third season of \"Vampire Duke.\" With technological advancements, as long as filming was smooth, the time taken to manufacture an episode had been greatly shortened. Since he had seen that the sets were really good, Zaro's agent had suggested Zaro continue filming. After the first season was complete, the second season had followed immediately after. Reception for season two had not been bad, so they had taken advantage of it and filmed a third season.\nDuring idle times while filming, Zaro had come across the online voting activity. Naturally, his attention went to the role of Leizhou's Great General Renault and the possible candidates for this role. Sweeping through the list of over 10 actors in the voting options, Zaro found out that he was among the candidates on the voting list for the role of General Renault.\nZaro was elated. This was the delight of being acknowledged. However, this joy only lasted for a short while. When Zaro went through the discussions, his face became one shade darker.\n\"Why is Zaro in the choices for the role of General Renault?\"\n\"Zaro can act?\"\n\"There's no choice; who asked him to be born with the Renault family name? Furthermore, he acted in a really popular TV series. That cannot be denied.\"\n\"This 'Leizhou's Smiling Angel' should just go do some charity! Don't act anymore!\"\nReading these few pages of comments, at the start, Zaro was filled with a burning rage, but it slowly turned into self-doubt, as there were just too many such comments—over 10 pages worth.\nZaro tilted his head toward his agent beside him and asked, \"Is my acting really that bad?\"\nZaro's agent fell silent for a few seconds as he considered the question, then replied, \"There is room for improvement.\" Then his agent added, \"It has improved greatly!\"\nZaro's expression changed. He seemed pleased and, following that, brought up his own performances in \"Vampire Duke\" seasons 1 and 2 and the currently airing season 3 and watched them. The more he watched, the more pleased he was. \"Where can you find this sort of acting? How can this even be called acting cool? No, acting cool also requires skill! Those people online are just blind!\"\nZaro then checked the views and profits of this drama series. \"It's impossible not to be popular!\"\nReturning to the slew of vicious comments directed toward him, Zaro silently pondered for a bit. Combining facts and theory, he came to a conclusion: \"Mmhm, these people are definitely blind!\"\nZaro did not even look at his manager's expression. He voted for himself and placed a wager. This was how much faith the great Zaro of Leizhou had in himself.\nAfter voting for himself, Zaro was feeling contented and went to check on the other roles to vote for candidates that satisfied him.\n\"Fang Zhao? There was a leader during the Period of Destruction called Fang Zhao? Oh, seems like there was one.\"\nZaro clicked to enter this page and read through the introduction of this Period of Destruction leader.\nAfter reading through this character's introduction Zaro clicked his tongue. \"Weak, this person was really weak.\"\nHowever, he was not really interested in all this. He quickly went to check the list of candidates in the voting pool.\nThe first option was actually more good looking than himself. Not pleasing to look at, not voting for him.\nThe second option had too many awards. The photo of him even had a close-up of those awards he had won! Are you afraid that nobody will know that you have won awards? So pretentious, I can't stand looking at him. No votes.\nThird option. Didn't this b*stard already appear on the voting list for another role? Who placed him here? The editor must be retarded! No votes!\nFourth option. More than 2 meters tall? What did he grow so tall for? To snatch rebounds in basketball?! No votes!\nFifth option...\nSixth option...\n...\nZaro went through them one by one right till the last option.\n\"Fang Zhao? That Fang Zhao from Yanzhou? The one undergoing military service on planet Baiji? Why is his name here? Isn't he a composer who plays games? Which idiot nominated him? He can't just be added to this list because his name is Fang Zhao. This bunch of editors are really no good!\"\nAfter browsing through all of them, Zaro looked through the voting options in the list once again. Zaro then placed a vote for Fang Zhao and conveniently wagered a little on him too. This was a totally an instinctive reaction, and the agent beside him could not have stopped Zaro in time if he had wanted to.\nAfter placing the wager, Zaro realized what he had done. He had not really intended to place a wager on anyone other than himself, but he could not bring himself to admit his mistake and reluctantly said, \"Cough, just a little investment in Fang Zhao. Take it as me supporting that fella. After all, he did help us out, didn't he? He was the one who introduced the projects at the film entertainment complex to us. As people, we should know how to be grateful.\"\nZaro's agent felt that from his understanding of Zaro, given Zaro's \"idiotic\" IQ and pettiness, his choice of voting for Fang Zhao was definitely not \"being grateful\" but a load of hogwash. Faced with the list of those actors displayed on the screen, perhaps Zaro had only found Fang Zhao a little more pleasing to his eyes than the rest.\nWhy was this so?\nBecause among all the superstars on this list, only Fang Zhao's status in the film entertainment circles was lower than Zaro's. When it came to a person who was beneath himself, Zaro would definitely find him more pleasing to the eyes!"

第253章
对于方召来说，服役是一个很特别的经历，他第一次出太空，第一次亲眼看到、亲身经历了人类迈向太空的这一大步。
战场从来不会止步于一颗星球，即便将来这些移民星球会有更多的争端，但人类文明依旧在向前发展，向更广阔的空间发展。 一颗星球上爆发灾难，还有其他星球能供人类避难，不用担心发生灭世纪时期人类差点被全灭的惨况。
而服役的这个过程中，方召也产生了更多的灵感去创作。
总的来说，方召对自己的服役生活很满意。 很多人劝他就留军队算了，包括尚塔，也提过数次，只要方召选择留在白暨星军区，以后说不定能冲到将级军官行列。
上辈子为了生存大业，可以说是竭尽心血，甚至都没能坚持到创世纪的那天。 这辈子，他只想好好享受，虽然他的“享受”在很多人看来并不理解。
纪念日之后，去年四月份与方召同一批服役的人，都已经蠢蠢欲动，想留在白暨星的，或者选择退役的，都开始作打算。
白暨星的发展，他们不用同往届服役的人那样与世隔绝苦修，上网的次数也多得多，假期的时候还能去新建起来的那些并未完全开放的娱乐场所玩一玩。
纪念日之后，娱乐圈也发生了大震动。
超级影视项目要重启的事情被爆出，各洲媒体、娱记、狗仔们觉得自己的春天来了！
就这个超级影视项目，能给他们带来多少话题，能养活多少人！
发财的机会就在眼前！ 前不久就有人爆出，某狗仔手里有某影帝的黑料，那位影帝用几千万将黑料给买回去了。
所以，升职加薪或者一夜暴富都不是问题，就看谁有能耐去逮个大新闻了！
不过消息灵通的早就提前几个月开始行动，现在只是将这个消息正式公开，暴露在公众眼前而已。
为了争取这个超级影视项目中一个满意的角色，各洲的大牌影星们早开始行动了，背后的团队也都制定好了一系列的炒作计划。
银翼那边，段千吉已经用实景拍摄的历史剧，将公司几个大牌的演员知名度炒起来了，现在也不会放松，这不是延洲一个洲的竞争，是全球范围影视圈的竞争！
露脸多的角色就那么点儿，学过历史的基本都知道会有些什么人物，而演员那么多，这种时候各洲的影帝影后都贬值了一样，主要角色基本上也只有各洲超一线、全球影响力大的那些巨星们去竞争。
方召平时也会关注娱乐新闻，关注这个超级影视项目的动向，剧本还在讨论中，顾问团与编剧方面正在交流意见，不过已经进入尾声。
方召的服役期也快结束了，尚塔提前通知过他。
“在你们这一批退役之前，会有一次表彰大会，你也是其中之一，到时候你的军衔会再提一级，退役的奖金也会更多一些。 不过，你真不打算留下？”
“我已经计划好音乐殿堂的演出。”
“行，那只能祝你演出顺利，什么时候想回来都可以。” 尚塔还是很希望能留下方召的，不提方召那传得神乎其神的耳朵，就方召那作战能力，他也不想放过。 可惜了，方召竟然还是选择当一个文艺青年！
跟尚塔通完话，方召就发现网上有个娱乐新闻公司放了个调查，一个投票活动，看看人们觉得灭世纪时期几位重要领导人角色，会由哪些明星饰演。
每一个创世纪领导人角色下面，都列出来十来个来自各洲的大牌影星。
吸引方召注意力的是那个“方召”的角色，竟然也列出了十来位影星。
有意思的是，“创世纪领导人方召”那个角色，讨论的人还很多。 “不用多说，创世纪大将的扮演者要么是那些大家族自己的人演，要么是他们内定，不过就这种超级影视项目，在里面跑个龙套也够吹半辈子的。”
“刚才我又将中学的历史电子书翻出来看了遍，‘方召’这个角色占的分量很重，可惜命不好提前嗝屁，现在也没哪个大家族姓方，既然这样，我觉得，各洲的影帝们可以争一争这个角色。”
“延洲那位命不好的领导人竟然叫‘方召’！ 那不如就让方召去演，嗯，我说的就是你们知道的那个耳朵特别贵的‘神兽’。”
“哈哈哈哈，这个可行，让方召演方召！”
“可以一试！”
“别扯了！ 方召玩《世纪之战》游戏挺厉害，实际战斗能力也没得说，毕竟立了那么多军功，但演技方面就未必了，他又不是演员。”
网上发出的这个投票活动，也就只是蹭话题，顺便统计一下民众的支持情况，看他们赞同哪个明星饰演哪个角色，得到的记过也可以给这个超级项目的投资者们一个参考数据。
当然，办这个投票活动也是有巨大盈利的，因为在投票那里，有两个选项，每个人，在每个角色下方，有一次免费投票的机会，除此之外，还可以押注。
后面这个选项增加了一些趣味性，市场也很大，毕竟这里面，列出来的每一个明星都有大批粉丝，就算这些粉丝里只有百分之一的人押注，也是一个巨大的数字。
有多少人押注，押了多少钱，都不显示，投完票之后只能看到一个柱形图，显示各明星的支持情况。
方召看了看评论和柱形图，那些纯凑热闹的吃瓜群众，投他的最多。
让“方召演方召”也成了人们谈笑的话题。
有时候，人就是这么口是心非，比如某些人嘴上在说：那谁谁未必能演。 可心里则想的是：他要是不行还有谁能？
而现在，这些人虽然嘴上说着“就让方召去演，名字一样还能打怪！” 实际上他们心里想的是：方召都能去演主角的话，鱼都能飞天了！
在方召看着这个投票活动的时候，崴星那边也有不少人在关注。
萨罗正在拍《吸血鬼公爵》第三季，现在科技发达了，只要拍摄顺利，制作时间会大大缩短，看市场很好，经纪人就建议萨罗继续拍，第一季拍完接着拍第二季，第二季收益也不错，那就趁热拍第三季。
拍摄的空闲，萨罗上网刷到了网上这个投票活动，最关注的的当然是他们雷洲大将雷纳这个角色的饰演者。 视线一扫，雷纳将军这个角色，列出的十多个演员里面，竟然有他本人！
萨罗相当兴奋，有种被认可的得意，但这种兴奋仅仅只维持了短暂时间，等他翻了评论之后，脸色就臭了。
“饰演雷纳将军的，演员选项里面为什么有萨罗？”
“萨罗有演技？”
“没办法，谁让他姓雷纳呢，而且也确实演了高人气的影视剧，这个无法否认。”
“我大雷洲的‘微笑天使’还是去做慈善吧！ 别去演戏了！”
一连看了几页评论，萨罗从一开始的愤怒情绪爆棚，变成一丢丢的自我怀疑，因为这种评论太多了，翻了几十页都是这种。
萨罗转头问旁边的经纪人：“我演技难道真的很差？”
经济沉默，斟酌一番，才回道：“有所提升。” “提升大了！
萨罗神情激动，颇为自得，然后将自己演的《吸血鬼公爵》第一二季以及正在热播中的第三季拿出来看了又看，越看越满意。 “这演技，哪儿找去？ 怎么能叫耍帅？
萨罗又翻了翻这部剧的点击和各种收益，“不火没天理！”
回头再看现在网上那一大堆狠批自己的话，萨罗深刻反省了一下，结合现实理论依据，他得出一个结论：“嗯，一定是他们眼瘸！”
经纪人表示，现在不想说话。 萨罗压根没看经纪人现在的脸色，他给自己投了票，也押了注。
投完萨罗就满意地去翻其他角色，给自己满意的演员投票。
“方召？ 灭世期还有个领导人叫方召的？ 哦，好像是有。”
萨罗点进那个页面，翻了翻这位灭世纪领导人的介绍。
“衰，这人真衰。” 看完人物介绍的萨罗啧啧评价。
不过他对这些也不感兴趣，很快就去翻列出来的那些演员。
第一个，长得竟然比他还帅，看不顺眼，不选。
第二个，得奖太多，放图竟然还将那些奖杯放了特写！ 生怕别人不知道你得过奖？
第三个，这丫不是已经去竞争其他角色了吗？ 谁列在这里的？ 小编智障！
不选！ 第四个，身高两米多？ 长那么高干什么？
抢篮板吗？
！
不选！
挨个看下来，直到最后一个。
延洲的那个方召？ 白暨星服役的那个？ 为什么有他的名，他不是一个玩游戏的作曲家吗？
不能因为他叫方召就将他列在这里，这期小编不行！” 看完，萨罗又将这一页的演员从上到下翻了一遍，然后还是投了方召那个选项，顺手在押注那里又点了一下。 完全是习惯使然，旁边的经纪人连阻止都来不及。
点了押注选项，萨罗也反应过来，他还真没打算在其他人那里押注，但又放不下面子承认错误，嘴硬道：“咳，就投方召，当支持那小子了，毕竟他也帮过我们不是？ 影视城这边的项目还是他介绍的呢，人要有感恩之心。”
经纪人觉得，以他对萨罗的了解，以萨罗那高达“二百五”的智商和小心眼，选择投方召一票，未必真的是因为“感恩之心”，纯属屁话。 面前屏幕上列出来的那些演员，萨罗或许就只看方召比较顺眼。
为什么？
因为这里面的明星，就方召在影视圈的地位、成就比萨罗低。 一个不如自己的人，萨罗当然看着顺眼！

For Fang Zhao, military service was a really special experience. This was the first time he had gone into outer space and the first time he had personally seen the large strides humanity had taken in space travel.
Battlefields would not just be limited to a single planet. In the future, even if planets with immigrants had conflicts or disputes, humanity and civilization would continue moving forward and expanding even farther into space. Should a catastrophe occur on a planet, there were other planets that could provide refuge for humans. There was no need to worry about a calamity like humankind being nearly wiped out during the Period of Destruction ever happening again.
And during the course of his military service, Fang Zhao had gained even more inspiration for his compositions.
In short, Fang Zhao was very satisfied with his own military service experience. Many people advised him to stay on in the military, including Shanta, who had mentioned it multiple times. As long as Fang Zhao chose to remain at Baiji military district, he might even rise to the rank of general in the future.
But Fang Zhao still rejected this notion. In his previous life, it could be said that he sacrificed a lot for the great cause of surviving, so much so that he was unable to endure until the Founding Era. In this lifetime, Fang Zhao just wished to enjoy as much as he could, although many people would not be able to comprehend his sort of "enjoying."
After Memorial Day passed, the batch of conscripts who had started their military service together with Fang Zhao all started to get restless. Whether they wished to remain on planet Baiji or return home after military service, these people all started making plans.
Given planet Baiji's development, they no longer had to suffer what Baiji conscripts of the past had gone through—that is, being isolated from the world. Now, the amount of time they could go online had increased, and on days off, they could still head to the newly constructed places of entertainment and have fun, even if those weren't all open yet.
After Memorial Day, the entertainment circles were also shaken up.
News of the revolutionary film project being rebooted broke out. Media firms, reporters, and paparazzi from every single continent felt that their own springtime had come!
How many topics could be generated just from this revolutionary film project? How many livelihoods could it feed?
A short while back, it had been reported that a certain paparazzo had dirt on a certain film superstar. That superstar had spent tens of millions to purchase the incriminating information from the paparazzo to protect his reputation.
Therefore, promotions, pay raises, and perhaps an overnight fortune were not out of the question. It all depended on who had the ability to seize such big news!
However, well-informed parties had already started their preparations a few months earlier. Now all they were waiting for was the official announcement and the information that would be laid out for the public.
For the sake of snagging a satisfactory role in the revolutionary film project, big-name film superstars from every continent had started to move. The teams behind them had already prepared a series of publicity-boosting plans and campaigns.
Over at Silver Wing's side, Duan Qianji had already used the historical dramas shot on real physical sets to give a popularity boost to the company's few big-name superstar actors and actresses. They still could not afford to relax, though—this was not a competition within Yanzhou alone. This was a competition between all the entertainment circles on a global scale!
There were only so few roles, and there were so many actors and actresses. Anyone who studied history knew what sort of characters there were. At this sort of time, superstars of every continent saw their value depreciating. Only each continent's first-rate megastars with global appeal would be able to vie for the lead roles.
Normally, Fang Zhao would also have paid attention to entertainment news and any trending news regarding this revolutionary film project. The script was still being discussed and the consultant team and screenwriters were exchanging thoughts and views, but it was approaching the end stage and was close to being finalized.
Fang Zhao's military service was also coming to an end soon, and Shanta had informed him beforehand.
"Before your batch is decommissioned, there will be one more large commendation ceremony, and you will be among the recipients. When the time comes, you will be promoted one rank and the bonus when your service ends will increase as well. However, have you really decided not to stay on?"
"I have already made plans for a concert performance at a music hall," Fang Zhao replied.
"All right. Then I shall wish you all the best with your concert. You are welcome back any time." Shanta really wished he could retain the services of Fang Zhao. Not even mentioning Fang Zhao's rumored divine ears, he didn't want to let go of Fang Zhao's combat ability. What a pity that Fang Zhao had actually chosen to be an artistic youth!
After speaking with Shanta, Fang Zhao discovered that an entertainment news company had set up a survey through a voting system to see which superstars the masses thought should play the roles of the important leaders during the Period of Destruction.
Below every Founding Era leader's character, there were over 10 listed big-name film stars from every continent.
What attracted Fang Zhao's attention was the role of that "Fang Zhao," where there were also more than 10 film stars listed.
"For sure, the roles of the Founding Era great generals will surely be played by members of their own families. If not, those roles will be selected by them. However, for this sort of revolutionary film project, playing a minor role in it is enough for someone to brag for half his lifetime."
"I just took out my secondary school history e-textbook for a read. This character 'Fang Zhao' had a rather important role during that period but was unfortunate enough to pass on a little early. Now there aren't even any aristocratic families with the family name Fang. Since this is the case, I feel that the film emperors of every continent will be vying for this role."
"The ill-fated leader of Yanzhou was actually called 'Fang Zhao'! Why don't they let Fang Zhao play the role? Yeah, the one I'm talking about is that 'mythical beast' with the pair of really expensive ears."
"Hahahaha, that sounds feasible. Let Fang Zhao play the role of Fang Zhao!"
"They should try it out!"
"Stop joking! Fang Zhao's gaming in 'Battle of the Century' is rather impressive, sure. His actual combat ability is legit too—after all, he has garnered so many military merits—but he might not necessarily be able to act. He isn't an actor, after all."
The online voting activity was little more than a means of generating discussion and conveniently obtaining statistics of the masses' opinions and which stars they felt were most appropriate for which role. The final results would also give the investors of the revolutionary film project some data to consider.
Of course, there were huge profits to be made for this voting activity, because for the voting, there were two choices. For every role, everyone had a free chance to vote, and besides that, they could also place a wager.
The latter choice added an element of fun to the voting, and the market was huge. After all, every one of these listed stars had a large following of fans. Even if only one percent of these fans placed a wager, it would still be a massive figure.
The number of people who had placed a wager and how much they had placed were not displayed. After voting, one could only see a bar chart showing the support that each star had.
Fang Zhao looked at the comments and the bar chart. Online audiences that did not know anything and were purely joining in on the fun had made him the most voted option.
"Let Fang Zhao play the role of Fang Zhao" also became a topic for laughs.
Sometimes, people would say one thing, but in their hearts, they would be thinking something else. For example, some people said this: That person might not necessarily be able to act. But in their hearts, what they were thinking was this: If not him, who else can do so?
And now, although these people were saying to just "Let Fang Zhao play the role of Fang Zhao! He has the exact same name and can even fight beasts!" in fact, their hearts were laughing. If Fang Zhao can act for such an important role, then even pigs can fly!
While Fang Zhao was viewing the voting activity, there were also many people paying attention to it on planet Wai.
Zaro was currently filming the third season of "Vampire Duke." With technological advancements, as long as filming was smooth, the time taken to manufacture an episode had been greatly shortened. Since he had seen that the sets were really good, Zaro's agent had suggested Zaro continue filming. After the first season was complete, the second season had followed immediately after. Reception for season two had not been bad, so they had taken advantage of it and filmed a third season.
During idle times while filming, Zaro had come across the online voting activity. Naturally, his attention went to the role of Leizhou's Great General Renault and the possible candidates for this role. Sweeping through the list of over 10 actors in the voting options, Zaro found out that he was among the candidates on the voting list for the role of General Renault.
Zaro was elated. This was the delight of being acknowledged. However, this joy only lasted for a short while. When Zaro went through the discussions, his face became one shade darker.
"Why is Zaro in the choices for the role of General Renault?"
"Zaro can act?"
"There's no choice; who asked him to be born with the Renault family name? Furthermore, he acted in a really popular TV series. That cannot be denied."
"This 'Leizhou's Smiling Angel' should just go do some charity! Don't act anymore!"
Reading these few pages of comments, at the start, Zaro was filled with a burning rage, but it slowly turned into self-doubt, as there were just too many such comments—over 10 pages worth.
Zaro tilted his head toward his agent beside him and asked, "Is my acting really that bad?"
Zaro's agent fell silent for a few seconds as he considered the question, then replied, "There is room for improvement." Then his agent added, "It has improved greatly!"
Zaro's expression changed. He seemed pleased and, following that, brought up his own performances in "Vampire Duke" seasons 1 and 2 and the currently airing season 3 and watched them. The more he watched, the more pleased he was. "Where can you find this sort of acting? How can this even be called acting cool? No, acting cool also requires skill! Those people online are just blind!"
Zaro then checked the views and profits of this drama series. "It's impossible not to be popular!"
Returning to the slew of vicious comments directed toward him, Zaro silently pondered for a bit. Combining facts and theory, he came to a conclusion: "Mmhm, these people are definitely blind!"
Zaro did not even look at his manager's expression. He voted for himself and placed a wager. This was how much faith the great Zaro of Leizhou had in himself.
After voting for himself, Zaro was feeling contented and went to check on the other roles to vote for candidates that satisfied him.
"Fang Zhao? There was a leader during the Period of Destruction called Fang Zhao? Oh, seems like there was one."
Zaro clicked to enter this page and read through the introduction of this Period of Destruction leader.
After reading through this character's introduction Zaro clicked his tongue. "Weak, this person was really weak."
However, he was not really interested in all this. He quickly went to check the list of candidates in the voting pool.
The first option was actually more good looking than himself. Not pleasing to look at, not voting for him.
The second option had too many awards. The photo of him even had a close-up of those awards he had won! Are you afraid that nobody will know that you have won awards? So pretentious, I can't stand looking at him. No votes.
Third option. Didn't this b*stard already appear on the voting list for another role? Who placed him here? The editor must be retarded! No votes!
Fourth option. More than 2 meters tall? What did he grow so tall for? To snatch rebounds in basketball?! No votes!
Fifth option...
Sixth option...
...
Zaro went through them one by one right till the last option.
"Fang Zhao? That Fang Zhao from Yanzhou? The one undergoing military service on planet Baiji? Why is his name here? Isn't he a composer who plays games? Which idiot nominated him? He can't just be added to this list because his name is Fang Zhao. This bunch of editors are really no good!"
After browsing through all of them, Zaro looked through the voting options in the list once again. Zaro then placed a vote for Fang Zhao and conveniently wagered a little on him too. This was a totally an instinctive reaction, and the agent beside him could not have stopped Zaro in time if he had wanted to.
After placing the wager, Zaro realized what he had done. He had not really intended to place a wager on anyone other than himself, but he could not bring himself to admit his mistake and reluctantly said, "Cough, just a little investment in Fang Zhao. Take it as me supporting that fella. After all, he did help us out, didn't he? He was the one who introduced the projects at the film entertainment complex to us. As people, we should know how to be grateful."
Zaro's agent felt that from his understanding of Zaro, given Zaro's "idiotic" IQ and pettiness, his choice of voting for Fang Zhao was definitely not "being grateful" but a load of hogwash. Faced with the list of those actors displayed on the screen, perhaps Zaro had only found Fang Zhao a little more pleasing to his eyes than the rest.
Why was this so?
Because among all the superstars on this list, only Fang Zhao's status in the film entertainment circles was lower than Zaro's. When it came to a person who was beneath himself, Zaro would definitely find him more pleasing to the eyes!

"value": "The little aide came out of the palace bedroom with bowls and chopsticks in her hands. She came across Hei Zhu who she hadn’t met for a long time. She wore a cheongsam, as if she had just come in from outside the palace. Hei Zhu’s eyes brightened when she saw the little aide, “Qing Zhan, you’re back!”\nIt seemed that no one had called her with this name for ages. The little aide slowed down for a moment and then nodded.\nHei Zhu’s hands slid and she creased her slim eyebrows. “Why are you doing these things? It’s not true that you’re serving that woman Helian Wei Wei now, as those palace maids said, right? ”\nQing Zhan took a look at her and corrected her faintly: “Call her the princess.”\nHei Zhu scoffed at her, “Princess? She will lose that position soon.”\nQing Zhan’s hands that were holding the bowls and chopsticks stilled. She knew Hei Zhu would not say such a thing without being 100% sure. Could it be something unexpected happen?\nHei Zhu continued saying, “Her methods are only indulging passions. His Highness has never met anyone like that before and put up with her.”\nQing Zhan looked at the bowls and chopsticks in her hands without uttering any words.\nHei Zhu spoke again, “”I advise you to leave her as soon as possible. Don’t you like Young Master Lie? It will be much better to ask Young Master Lie to help you leave.”\nQing Zhan raised her head, her eyes were serious. “I’ve never thought of asking him for helping me leave, ever.”\n“I know, I know.” Hei Zhu did not know what temper she was having, and patted her gently on the back of her hand.\nQing Zhan thought in her heart, “You don’t know it. Just because liking a person, I won’t put myself down and be that person’s concubine.”\nShe couldn’t help recall what the princess had said to her.\nThat was a recklessly elegant and unconventional manner.\nShe had never imagined it before.\nFrom the time she entered the palace to be a death warrior, she only had one person in her eyes. At that time, she had no extra thoughts at all. They both were still young. When she finished training, she would stand in the shadows and watch the little boy frown and perform divination. She knew that he did not love her. Every time he went out, she would come along with some new things, just to make him happy. It seemed that as long as he smiled, it was worth doing anything. More importantly, she didn’t care if she was covered all over with cuts and bruises for him.\nIt’s just that she forgot her identity too much.\nShe had a humble life.\nPerhaps because she got accustomed to her lowly situation that made it easy for her to regard a person as her world.\nIf she stayed by the princess’ side, her life would be more meaningful than it was now and it would be easier to forget the past.\nShe had never been to the academy before, and the princess said she would take her to see it.\nSo then, why would she leave the princess?\nAt that instant, Qing Zhan didn’t quite understand why she got angry at Hei Zhu. “You should be polite to the princess in the future.”\nHei Zhu looked at her and smiled. “I know you are worried about me, but His Highness only cares about elder sister. As long as she comes back to the Palace, should you be afraid to offend that substitute?”\nHei Zhu coughed a few times, it was as if she said something wrong. “I meant what if that’s the case.”\nQing Zhan looked at her and her heart fell down. “It’s hard to say. I can only say that, unlike what you think, the princess will not be her substitute.”\nHei Zhu took a glance and sized her up, “This woman’s tricks are pretty good, ah! Even you helped her speak? But as I said earlier, it’s okay to have one or two attendants around His Highness. But not that one who played wicked trick, she’s absolutely unacceptable. Be honest and get in her way. I and others are planning to embarrass her.”\n“Don’t tell me what you guys were planning, I won’t get on board.” Qing Zhan, somewhat fidgety, said quietly. “Let me remind you that the Princess was selected by His Highness. Don’t you need to accept that fact? There’s implication if you’re reaching too wide!”\nHei Zhu was dumbfounded. She had never seen the most taciturn Qing Zhan lose such a temper for a person like Helian Wei Wei.\nWhat? Wait a minute!\nElder sister would be coming back really soon.\nNot only that, she would also attend White Academy.\nNow that the Retired Emperor was present, elder sister would not show up.\nHowever, White Academy was not under the Retired Emperor’s control.\nWhat’s the use of this ugly woman, Helian Wei Wei?\nHei Zhu started laughing. She did not blame Qing Zhan. The child was still young and did not know the news of elder sister’s life. Otherwise, she would not be confused by that woman Helian Wei Wei’s tricks.\nWhile thinking, Hei Zhu took another look at the direction of the palace bedroom. She believed that in the eyes of His Highness, elder sister was the most important.\nIf not, for what reason he did not spare a glance at other women for so many years?\nIn addition, how could a woman who grew up with that appearance match His Highness?\nShe was like a toad who wants to eat swan meat!\nIf it wasn’t for the Retired Emperor, how could His Highness tolerate that look, and almost killed her?\nHei Zhu caressed the whip marks on her arm. A sinister aura filled her eyes. She must make that woman Helian Wei Wei suffer big time!\nThe sun was setting in the west. The palace bedroom felt so large.\n“Hey, woman, you’ve been indulging in pleasure and forgetting duty for a whole two days. When will you give me energy?” In the mysterious spatial space, Yuan Ming was very dissatisfied with his master’s present state.\nSure enough, romantic love, ah!\nIt’s one of the ways to make people more foolish!\nHelian Wei Wei looked at him viciously and suddenly curved her thin lips: “Didn’t you know it already?”\n“Know…what did I know?” Yuan Ming felt somewhat guilty under Helian Wei Wei’s gaze.\nHelian Wei Wei put the ancient book in her hand and shook it. “You knew that my deskmate is the third prince.”\n“I also just knew it recently.” Yuan Ming said with a serious face.\nHelian Wei Wei lifted her eyebrows. “You think I’d believe that?”\n“Woman, let me tell you. It’s good for you to marry him.” Yuan Ming sighed deeply. “I also know that deep down in your heart that you love me best. However, the love between man and devil is fruitless. ”\nHelian Wei Wei laughed, “”How on earth did you get that incredibly high self-confidence?”\n“We can talk about this topic later. Now we’re talking about the problem between you two.” Yuan Ming smiled. “If I’m not mistaken, the third prince has multiple martial attributes. He possesses all attributes available. If you can control a warrior in that way and do it many times together, you can manipulate metal, wood, water, fire and earth freely, not just the wind like you had now.”\nHelian Wei Wei’s mouth curved up, “Doing it many more times? Hmm?”\n“Don’t you worry, after you’ve done the deed, I’ll be absorbing the nutrients at the mysterious spatial space.” Yuan Ming winked enchantingly.\nHelian Wei Wei glanced at him, then picked up the ancient book again smilingly. She shook the book several times.\nYuan Ming then felt dejected and hid back in the mysterious spatial space. Sometimes, he really could not offend his master. That look in her eyes could make people fear."

281.第281章 小书童端着碗筷出来从寝宫出来，迎面就碰到了许久没有见面的黑诛，她穿着一身的长裙，像是刚从宫外进来，看到小书童之后，眼睛都亮了：“青湛，你回来了！”
像是许久都没有听过有人叫自己的名字，小书童迟缓了一会儿，才点了点头。
黑诛从她手上的滑过，柳眉皱了皱：“你怎么做这些下人做的事情？ 该不会真像那几个宫女说的那样，你现在在伺候赫连薇薇那个女人吧。
青湛看了她一眼，语气淡淡的纠正：“是王妃。”
她这个王妃很快就当不成了。”
青湛拿着碗筷的手一顿，她知道如果不是有十足的把握，对方不会说出这样的话来，难道是出了什么变动？
黑诛继续说着：“她那些手段，不过是欲情故纵，殿下什么人没见过，会吃那一套。”
青湛看着自己的手里的碗筷，没吭声。
黑诛又道：“我劝你还是尽早从她身边退下来，你不是喜欢烈少爷吗，就让烈少爷把你讨了去多好。”
青湛抬了下头，眸光认真：“我从来都没有想过要让他把我讨了去。”
“我知道，我知道。” 黑诛也不晓得她这个小同门在闹什么脾气，轻轻的拍了拍她的手背。
青湛想，你不知道，就是因为喜欢，才不想把自己摆的太低，更不想去做小。
不由的，她想起了王妃和自己说过的话。
那般的肆意潇洒。
是她从来都没有想象过。
从进入皇宫做死侍起，她的眼里就只装了一个人，那时候根本就没有多余的心思，她和他都还小，她训练完，就会站在阴影里看着那个小小的少年皱眉卜卦，她知道他不爱那些，每次出宫都会顺来些新鲜玩意，只是想讨他的开心，好像只要他笑了，她做什么都值得，更加不会在乎遍体鳞伤。
只是她太却忘了身份这回事。
她这辈子过的太卑微。
大概就是因为卑微惯了，就容易把一个人当成全世界。
如果是陪在王妃身边的话，她的生活应该会比现在有意义，也容易忘掉以前那些事。
她还从来都没有去过学院，王妃说要带她去看看。
所以，她为什么要离开王妃？
在那一瞬间，青湛搞不懂自己为什么有些恼黑诛：“你以后也对王妃客气点。”
黑诛愣了，看着她笑了起来：“我知道你是担心我，不过至于嘛，殿下在乎的可是姐姐，只要正宫回来了，你还怕得罪那个替代品？”
像是意识到了自己说错了什么，黑诛轻咳了几声：“我的意思是说如果。”
青湛看着她，一颗心往下坠了坠：“这个真不好说，我只能说跟你想的可能不大一样，王妃不会成为谁的替代品。”
黑诛上下打量了一眼她，道：“这女人的手段可以啊，连你都帮着她说话了？ 不过我早说了，殿下身边出现一两个伺候的人也没事，但就是别出现这么一只幺蛾子，那绝没有办法接受，就你老实，上了她的道，我和其他人可都计划着让她好看呢。”
“你们要做什么别告诉我，我不想踩进去。” 青湛有些烦躁了，静了静心道：“还有我得提醒一句，王妃是殿下选的人，需要你们接不接受吗？” 言下之意就是在说你们管的太宽了！
黑诛愣了，她还真没见过最沉默寡言的青湛会为了一个赫连薇薇发这么大的脾气。
什么呀，等着吧！
姐姐很快就回来了。
不仅如此，她还会进入太白学院。
现在是有太上皇在，姐姐不好露面。
但是太白学院可是太上皇管不到的地方。
赫连薇薇这个丑女人还有什么用。
黑诛笑了起来，她不怪青湛，孩子年纪还小呢，又不知道姐姐活着的消息，否则的话也不会被赫连薇薇那个女人用手段迷惑了去。
想着，黑诛又朝着寝宫的方向看了两眼，她相信在殿下的心目中，姐姐才是最重要的。
否则这么多年来，他不可能连看别的女人一眼都不看。
而且长成那个模样的女子，怎么配的上殿下。
癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉！
如果不是太上皇逼的极，殿下怎么会容忍那副尊容，还差点要了她的命。
黑诛抚着手臂上的鞭痕，眸子里泛起了毒意，她一定要让赫连薇薇那个女人好好吃吃苦头！
夕阳西下，偌大寝宫。
“喂，女人，你乐不思蜀都思了两天了，什么时候给我补充能源。” 玄幻空间里原冥十分不满意饲主现在的状态。
果然，恋爱啊！
简直是会让人类更加愚蠢的办法之一！
赫连薇薇邪邪的看着他，忽的勾了起薄唇：“你早就知道吧。”
原冥莫名的被她看的有些心虚。
赫连薇薇把那古书拿在手里，来回的抖了抖：“知道我同桌就是三皇子的事。”
“我也是最近才知道的。” 原冥一脸认真。
赫连薇薇挑眉：“你觉得我会相信你现在说的话？”
“女人，我告诉你，你嫁给他是有好处的。” 原冥长叹了一口气：“我也知道，从内心深处你最喜欢的人是我，可是人魔恋是没有结果的。
赫连薇薇呵呵了两声：“你那无比强大的自信心到底是怎么来的？”
“这个一会我们在讨论，现在说的是你和他的问题。” 原冥邪气的笑了：“如果我没猜错的话，这位三皇子是个多属性武者，每个属性都具备，你又是操纵性武者，你和他在一起多做几次，别说是风了，到时候金木水火土，你都能操纵自由。”
赫连薇薇嘴角半勾：“多做几次？ 嗯？”
“你放心，你们办事的时候，我都在玄幻空间里吸取养分。” 原冥魅惑不已的眨了眨眼。
赫连薇薇看了他一眼，笑着又把古书拿起来，使劲的抖了几下。
原冥这才灰溜溜的又躲回了玄幻空间里，有的时候，他还真得罪不起他的饲主，那眼神看着就让人发毛。

The little aide came out of the palace bedroom with bowls and chopsticks in her hands. She came across Hei Zhu who she hadn’t met for a long time. She wore a cheongsam, as if she had just come in from outside the palace. Hei Zhu’s eyes brightened when she saw the little aide, “Qing Zhan, you’re back!”
It seemed that no one had called her with this name for ages. The little aide slowed down for a moment and then nodded.
Hei Zhu’s hands slid and she creased her slim eyebrows. “Why are you doing these things? It’s not true that you’re serving that woman Helian Wei Wei now, as those palace maids said, right? ”
Qing Zhan took a look at her and corrected her faintly: “Call her the princess.”
Hei Zhu scoffed at her, “Princess? She will lose that position soon.”
Qing Zhan’s hands that were holding the bowls and chopsticks stilled. She knew Hei Zhu would not say such a thing without being 100% sure. Could it be something unexpected happen?
Hei Zhu continued saying, “Her methods are only indulging passions. His Highness has never met anyone like that before and put up with her.”
Qing Zhan looked at the bowls and chopsticks in her hands without uttering any words.
Hei Zhu spoke again, “”I advise you to leave her as soon as possible. Don’t you like Young Master Lie? It will be much better to ask Young Master Lie to help you leave.”
Qing Zhan raised her head, her eyes were serious. “I’ve never thought of asking him for helping me leave, ever.”
“I know, I know.” Hei Zhu did not know what temper she was having, and patted her gently on the back of her hand.
Qing Zhan thought in her heart, “You don’t know it. Just because liking a person, I won’t put myself down and be that person’s concubine.”
She couldn’t help recall what the princess had said to her.
That was a recklessly elegant and unconventional manner.
She had never imagined it before.
From the time she entered the palace to be a death warrior, she only had one person in her eyes. At that time, she had no extra thoughts at all. They both were still young. When she finished training, she would stand in the shadows and watch the little boy frown and perform divination. She knew that he did not love her. Every time he went out, she would come along with some new things, just to make him happy. It seemed that as long as he smiled, it was worth doing anything. More importantly, she didn’t care if she was covered all over with cuts and bruises for him.
It’s just that she forgot her identity too much.
She had a humble life.
Perhaps because she got accustomed to her lowly situation that made it easy for her to regard a person as her world.
If she stayed by the princess’ side, her life would be more meaningful than it was now and it would be easier to forget the past.
She had never been to the academy before, and the princess said she would take her to see it.
So then, why would she leave the princess?
At that instant, Qing Zhan didn’t quite understand why she got angry at Hei Zhu. “You should be polite to the princess in the future.”
Hei Zhu looked at her and smiled. “I know you are worried about me, but His Highness only cares about elder sister. As long as she comes back to the Palace, should you be afraid to offend that substitute?”
Hei Zhu coughed a few times, it was as if she said something wrong. “I meant what if that’s the case.”
Qing Zhan looked at her and her heart fell down. “It’s hard to say. I can only say that, unlike what you think, the princess will not be her substitute.”
Hei Zhu took a glance and sized her up, “This woman’s tricks are pretty good, ah! Even you helped her speak? But as I said earlier, it’s okay to have one or two attendants around His Highness. But not that one who played wicked trick, she’s absolutely unacceptable. Be honest and get in her way. I and others are planning to embarrass her.”
“Don’t tell me what you guys were planning, I won’t get on board.” Qing Zhan, somewhat fidgety, said quietly. “Let me remind you that the Princess was selected by His Highness. Don’t you need to accept that fact? There’s implication if you’re reaching too wide!”
Hei Zhu was dumbfounded. She had never seen the most taciturn Qing Zhan lose such a temper for a person like Helian Wei Wei.
What? Wait a minute!
Elder sister would be coming back really soon.
Not only that, she would also attend White Academy.
Now that the Retired Emperor was present, elder sister would not show up.
However, White Academy was not under the Retired Emperor’s control.
What’s the use of this ugly woman, Helian Wei Wei?
Hei Zhu started laughing. She did not blame Qing Zhan. The child was still young and did not know the news of elder sister’s life. Otherwise, she would not be confused by that woman Helian Wei Wei’s tricks.
While thinking, Hei Zhu took another look at the direction of the palace bedroom. She believed that in the eyes of His Highness, elder sister was the most important.
If not, for what reason he did not spare a glance at other women for so many years?
In addition, how could a woman who grew up with that appearance match His Highness?
She was like a toad who wants to eat swan meat!
If it wasn’t for the Retired Emperor, how could His Highness tolerate that look, and almost killed her?
Hei Zhu caressed the whip marks on her arm. A sinister aura filled her eyes. She must make that woman Helian Wei Wei suffer big time!
The sun was setting in the west. The palace bedroom felt so large.
“Hey, woman, you’ve been indulging in pleasure and forgetting duty for a whole two days. When will you give me energy?” In the mysterious spatial space, Yuan Ming was very dissatisfied with his master’s present state.
Sure enough, romantic love, ah!
It’s one of the ways to make people more foolish!
Helian Wei Wei looked at him viciously and suddenly curved her thin lips: “Didn’t you know it already?”
“Know…what did I know?” Yuan Ming felt somewhat guilty under Helian Wei Wei’s gaze.
Helian Wei Wei put the ancient book in her hand and shook it. “You knew that my deskmate is the third prince.”
“I also just knew it recently.” Yuan Ming said with a serious face.
Helian Wei Wei lifted her eyebrows. “You think I’d believe that?”
“Woman, let me tell you. It’s good for you to marry him.” Yuan Ming sighed deeply. “I also know that deep down in your heart that you love me best. However, the love between man and devil is fruitless. ”
Helian Wei Wei laughed, “”How on earth did you get that incredibly high self-confidence?”
“We can talk about this topic later. Now we’re talking about the problem between you two.” Yuan Ming smiled. “If I’m not mistaken, the third prince has multiple martial attributes. He possesses all attributes available. If you can control a warrior in that way and do it many times together, you can manipulate metal, wood, water, fire and earth freely, not just the wind like you had now.”
Helian Wei Wei’s mouth curved up, “Doing it many more times? Hmm?”
“Don’t you worry, after you’ve done the deed, I’ll be absorbing the nutrients at the mysterious spatial space.” Yuan Ming winked enchantingly.
Helian Wei Wei glanced at him, then picked up the ancient book again smilingly. She shook the book several times.
Yuan Ming then felt dejected and hid back in the mysterious spatial space. Sometimes, he really could not offend his master. That look in her eyes could make people fear.

"value": "Chapter 48\nIt was merely a simple, short saber. And yet, it continuously hacked through two wooden walls, which were even made of specially treated wood to boot. The saber blade hacked into the white-clothed person, carrying with it the aftershock of the attack.\n“RIP!!!”\nA tearing sound like that of cloth being ripped could be heard. Lu Sheng’s eyes were bloodshot. In one slash of the saber, he sliced the white-clothed person into two halves.\nThe saber spun round, splitting a wooden table on the side into two pieces along the way.\nHis watchful gaze swept across the room. Black Fury Skill revolved quickly all over his body. A tyrannical air of violent savagery emanated from his chest, lingering about him without dispersing in the least.\n“YOU COURT DEATH!!!” Lu Sheng roared madly, striking with Tiger Kill of the Black Tiger Saber Technique. “GET OUT HERE!”\nThe saber force smashed into the wall before him like a thunderstorm. A huge bang rang out in the midst of the tiger roar.\n“KA-BOOM!!!”\nMore than half of the entire wall was smashed into smithereens by Lu Sheng, whose force was being amplified by Black Fury Skill. Broken bits and pieces of black wood flew all over.\nBehind the third destroyed wall, a woman dressed in white appeared before his eyes, her face covered with long hair.\nSong Zhenguo and Jun’er were huddled in a corner, staring at her with eyes filled with despair and hysterical fear. Little did they expect that Lu Sheng would come across them at this moment.\nIn the first few seconds, both of them were stunned. After they recognized Lu Sheng, however, their shock turned into joy as they watched Lu Sheng charge towards the white-clothed woman like a deity descended from heaven.\nSong Zhenguo was about to rise and approach them, but he was pulled back by Jun’er abruptly.\n“Something’s wrong! Wait first!” Blood trickled down the corner of Jun’er’s mouth. She had been hurt at some point in time. Right now, she was staring at Lu Sheng, clearly sensing that something was out of the ordinary about this person.\n“What’s wrong? That’s Brother Lu. That’s Brother Yue Sheng! I didn’t know that he was so strong, so powerful! He must have come to rescue me!” Song Zhenguo explained hurriedly, his spirits reinvigorated.\n“Look closely again!” Jun’er reminded in a hushed tone.\nSong Zhenguo paused, then quickly turned and look. Only then did he find that Lu Sheng looked odd.\n“HEEHEEHEE…” the woman’s figure flew backwards, sending massive volumes of oily green fireballs, which looked like human heads, flying towards Lu Sheng.\nSeveral dozens of green fireballs cut off all his escape routes.\nBlack Fury Skill rippled to its maximum power on Lu Sheng. His heart was presently filled with a tyrannical, murderous intent to destroy and kill. The short saber in his hand vibrated intensely. Copious amounts of inner Qi flooded into his right arm, channeling into the saber’s blade as he slashed forward with it.\n“ROAR!”\nA deafening tiger roar!\nSilver saber light formed the shape of a gigantic axe, colliding squarely with the oncoming green fireballs. “BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM…”\nA series of bursting sounds, like the sound of gas balloons being burst, rang out. Huge volumes of green fire were burst apart and fell all over, covering the hanging red lanterns in flames. The flames rapidly spread along the rugs and leather.\n“A pugilistic expert? An inner and outer force double-cultivator? Not bad,” the woman shrieked in laughter. Her body floated into the air slowly and she waved her hand.\nInstantly, a string of round black orbs flew in from the gaping hole in the broken wall. Several dozens of orbs smashed towards him before he could realize what was happening.\n“Tiger Might!” Lu Sheng gripped the saber in both hands, the giant frame of his body forming a stark contrast with the compact, short saber. Presently, however, the short saber was vibrating at an incredible speed, turning brighter and brighter as it reflected the light of the flames, becoming glaring to behold.\n“HOO!”\nLike a giant tiger, a gust of wind swept forward like a tornado. Lu Sheng pounced forward. His explosive speed across the short distance even surpassed his earlier speed when he was hunting down the white-clothed person.\nHe continuously dodged and actually evaded every single one of those orbs. Then finally, at an unfathomable speed, he hacked down on the woman’s neck. “SPLAT!”\nA human head flew up in the air. Lu Sheng rode on the momentum of his saber and delivered another slash as he swung it back!\n“SPLAT.”\nThe white-clothed woman was sliced into two halves diagonally. An ear-piercing shriek rang out.\nThe fire grew stronger and stronger. Quickly, the beams of the chamber were burnt through and collapsed all of a sudden.\nAfter striking with his full might, Lu Sheng had barely come to the end of his strike when the horizontal beam slammed onto him. All around him, fire rolled towards him as if it were alive, engulfing him in flames and covering him from sight.\n“LU SHENG!!!”\nOnly then did Song Zhenguo and Jun’er dash out from the corner of the room in an attempt to save him. But their efforts were in vain.\nThe bean had slammed into Lu Sheng right on the top of his head and the raging flames had consumed him entirely in the blink of an eye. He was no longer visible.\n“Let’s go!” Jun’er clutched onto Song Zhenguo tightly.\n“YUE SHENG! BROTHER LU!” Song Zhenguo bellowed.\n“Both of you should worry about yourselves first.”\nAstonishingly, the white-clothed woman appeared again. Her body was already perfectly intact, without a single wound. Lightly, she floated beside the fire in the chamber, staring at the two of them deviously with a pair of dark eyes under the hair.\nThe duo including Song Zhenguo rushed out of the door without even daring to turn their heads.\n“It’s me! I’m the one who sent Brother Lu to his death!” Tears welled up in Song Zhenguo’s eyes. Anger and grief overwhelmed him.\n“We’ll talk about it after we escape!” Jun’er said decisively.\n“ZOOM!”\nThe white-clothed woman shot out behind them, right at their heels.\n“TRYING TO RUN!?” she shrieked loudly.\n“ARGHHHHHHH!!!”\nJust then, a bellow rang out from within the flames behind the woman. A muscular figure, flames still burning here and there on his body, pushed away the beam and leapt from the fire into the air.\nSparks flew as a giant hand emerged from the flames and gripped onto her.\nBut all she saw was Lu Sheng pouncing towards her, his saber sweeping through the flames, conjuring up a massive wave of red and then hacking downwards squarely above her head. “RIP!”\nOnce again, the woman was hacked into two halves by Lu Sheng.\nBut, unbelievably, the two halves of her body began to merge rapidly again, recovering its original form.\n“A mere mortal! How dare you…” she screamed, black hair flying about madly behind her. Her hands lay over each other, forming a strange hand sign. Then, her white dress instantly turned into streaks and streaks of white cloth, shooting towards Lu Sheng and enveloping him.\n“Die!” Streaks after streaks of white cloth shot at him, each emitting sharp roars as they cut through the air.\nLu Sheng’s eyes were blood-red. Flames still smoldered on his robes and white smoke was billowing out of some spots on him.\nAfter a series of moves that had exhausted the Black Fury Skill, he was gradually regaining some sobriety.\nHe could sense that a large surface area of his body had been burnt. Lu Sheng quickly accelerated Black Tiger Jade Crane Skill. The improved version of Black Tiger Jade Crane Skill boasted strong healing abilities. Before long, Lu Sheng could feel the scorching burn on many parts of his body alleviating significantly.\nBut with this change of Inner Qi, both Black Tiger Jade Crane Skill and Black Fury Skill activated at high speed within him and Lu Sheng immediately sensed an extraordinary transformation occurring within him.\nTwo warm currents were spinning in him; one was violent while the other was serene.\nHe held onto his saber and stared doggedly at the woman floating in mid-air. Unexpectedly, an indescribable feeling arose in his heart.\nTwo streams of Inner Qi, one left and the other right, flowed into his left and right arms respectively. Then, they merged and entangled with each other on the short saber in the grip of both his hands, generating a formidable and fierce might.\nFollowing the flow of this power, Lu Sheng’s body arched outwards slightly.\nThe meditative diagrams of both the Black Tiger and Immortal Crane became one in his mind, entangling with each other.\nAs if he had gained enlightenment, a red glow exploded out of Lu Sheng’s saber in that very instant.\n“ROAR! SHRIEK!”\nA high-pitched sound which was both like a tiger’s roar and a crane’s call rose to the heavens!\nIn the midst of this sound, Lu Sheng leapt up in the air and stabbed his saber pencil-straight into the woman’s body.\nThis time, the massive force did not hack the woman into two halves. Rather, her body exploded with a blast into innumerable shards, which were lit ablaze by the flying sparks. These fell into the fire and no sound was heard from them again.\n“Thud!”\nLu Sheng landed heavily on the deck, causing tremors throughout the entire pleasure boat. After a fit of heavy panting, he finally straightened his body slowly. He looked down and picked up a purple jade hairpin from the deck. This was the only object that had fallen off the woman’s body.\n“Brother Song. Looks like the heavens smile on you. You’re fine even after all that,” Lu Sheng smiled at the duo including Song Zhenguo not far from him on the deck, revealing a row of snow-white teeth.\n“Brother… Brother Lu…?” After fully witnessing the tremendous battle earlier, Song Zhenguo was seriously doubting if his new friend and brother was human after all.\n“Let’s find Brother Chen. We should be getting off the boat. Otherwise, if we dawdle for too long, we may be unable to leave anymore,” Lu Sheng lifted his arms. His charred clothes were now stuck to his skin. Fortunately, Black Fury Skill gave him very high heat endurance. Moreover, his actions in the battle earlier were too violent and quick, preventing the flames on his body from burning on in a vicious cycle. Hence, his burn wounds were not significant.\n“So… that female ghost… she’s gone just like that?” Song Zhenguo asked, stunned.\n“No idea. But she should be gone,” Lu Sheng shook his head. His gaze fell on Little Jun.\nLittle Jun returned his gaze with a gentle and grateful smile.\nThe three of them swiftly found the fainted Chen Jiaorong in a corner of the boat. Song Zhenguo carried him on his back and the four of them alighted the boat at the harbor. They had only just gotten off it when the pleasure boat behind them lit up in flames. The huge fire was clearly visible on Cypress Pine Lake.\nStrangely enough, they suddenly discovered that they were no longer at the spot by the lake near Mountain-Edge City. Rather, they were at a lakeside area in a deserted wilderness.\nThe four of them stepped on land and surveyed their surroundings. To their surprise, they saw no signs of human presence. Everywhere was a wilderness, filled with wild grass.\nLu Sheng took Song Zhenguo’s outer robe and changed into it.\nAfter ripping his clothes off his body, only a small portion of his skin was burnt. Most of it was merely black from the flames. The hair on his head, facial hair and whatnot had all been burnt clean.\nThey watched as the pleasure boat, consumed in flames, slowly sank into the lake till it disappeared. Only then did Lu Sheng look at Little Jun. Song Zhenguo also looked at Jun’er at that moment. Both of them needed an explanation–one that only Little Jun could give.\nWhat on earth had happened?\nAt the sight of their stares, Jun’er bowed her head and bit her lips in silence.\n“…Don’t stare at me. I actually don’t know much about the pleasure boat. All that I know is that we’re not an ordinary pleasure boat. There’s a very mysterious and powerful leader above us. Most of the pleasure boats on the entire Cypress Pine Lake are under his control. And our pleasure boat also belongs to him officially.\nThat woman had also been our boat master, in charge of us all this while. It’s just that I had no idea that she… she was…” Jun’er shook her head and sighed.\n“Let’s talk further after we get back,” Lu Sheng stared at the surface of the vast and empty lake. “Who knows where this is?”\n“Let me,” Song Zhenguo laughed bitterly. “If I’m not wrong, this should be a river downstream of Cypress Pine Lake outside Mountain-Edge City. It’s at least more than ten miles away from Mountain-Edge City. We just need follow the river upstream.”\nHe looked at Lu Sheng, who was entirely charred black. Pushing Jun’er aside, he suddenly bowed deeply at the waist towards Lu Sheng.\n“This time, I almost led Yue Sheng and Jiaorong to your deaths. Because of Jun’er and me, we almost got both of you embroiled in this mess.”\n“I’m afraid… this mess isn’t quite over yet,” Lu Sheng, however, shook his head gently at him.\nSong Zhenguo was stunned, but suddenly saw Lu Sheng’s line of sight falling on Jun’er beside him.\nHe quickly turned to look at Jun’er, only to see that her body, originally as solid as reality, was gradually turning translucent."

第四十八章
大就是这么一把小短刀，居然连续砍碎两堵木墙，还是特殊木头制成的木墙。 刀刃带着余威，一下砍在白衣人身上。
！
如同布匹被撕裂的声响，路胜双眼泛红，布满血丝，一刀将白衣人砍成两截。
刀身回转，哧的一下又顺势将侧面的木桌斩成两块。
他眼睛扫视房间一眼，浑身黑煞功气息高速运转，一股凶横暴虐之意在胸膛不断激荡，却就是发泄不出去。
！” 路胜狂吼一声，黑虎刀法虎煞一刀劈出。 “滚出来！
刀光如同闷雷一样砸在他身前的墙壁上。 黑虎咆哮中，一声巨响。
！
整个半截墙壁，被黑煞功加持的路胜一招打碎，化为无数黑色木片飞溅溅射。
被破开的第三堵墙壁后面，一个白裙长发遮住面孔的女人出现在他眼前。
宋振国和君儿的身影缩在角落里，满脸绝望和恐惧的盯着她。 却不想正在被此时的路胜撞了个正着。
两人先是一楞，等认出是路胜，顿时大喜，看着天神下凡一般冲出来的他直冲向白裙女子。
宋振国正要起身靠过去，却猛地被君儿拉住。
先等等！” 君儿嘴角流着血，也不知道是怎么受的伤，但她美目盯着此时的路胜，感觉明显此人状态不对。
“怎么不对？ 那是路兄，是月生兄，没想到他居然这么强这么厉害，他一定是来救我的！” 宋振国精神大振，急促解释。
君儿低声提醒。
宋振国一愣，迅速看过去，这才发现路胜的状态有些不对。
“嘻嘻嘻....”女人身影飞退，两侧大量飞出绿油油的一团团火焰，如同人头一般，朝着路胜飞扑过来。
数十团绿火几乎将他可以躲避的角度完全覆盖。
路胜黑煞功全面鼓荡起，心头全是残暴虐杀之意，手上短刀带起剧烈震颤，大量内气集中涌入右臂，带着刀刃往前一挥。
！
一声巨大虎吼。
银色刀光居然形成巨斧一样的银光，和飞来的绿火正面撞在一起。
一连串仿佛气泡被戳破的声音传开，大量的绿火被打破散开，落在周围，几下便点燃了挂着的红灯笼，火焰迅速沿着毛毯皮革蔓延开来。
有两下子。” 那女子尖笑起来，身子轻飘飘浮起，手一挥。
顿时厢房被破开的墙壁大洞外，一下飞进来一连串的黑色圆球。 数十颗圆球趁着路胜还没反应过来，便朝他砸去。
！” 路胜双手握刀，硕大的身躯和短小的短刀形成鲜明的反差对比，但那把短刀却正在高速震颤，随着火焰的反光越来越亮，越来越刺目。
呼！
如同巨虎般的腥风卷起，路胜整个人猛扑过去，短距离内的爆发力甚至超过了之前他追杀那白衣人时的速度。
他身影连续闪躲，居然一个不剩的完全将所有圆球躲开，然后迅雷不及掩耳，一刀斩在女子脖子上方。
噗！ 人头飞起。 路胜反手又是一刀回砍。
噗嗤。
白裙女人整个人被斜斜的削成两片，发出一声刺耳尖叫。
大火越来越大，很快厢房的房梁被烧断，嘭的一下垮塌下来。
路胜全力出手后，余力未生，一下被横梁砸中，周围大火也仿佛有生命一般，朝他席卷吞噬而去，转眼便看不见人了。
！ ！”
此时这间厢房内的一角，宋振国和君儿才猛地冲出来，试图去救他，但已经来不及了。
横梁砸下来，正好砸在路胜头顶上。 大火瞬间将他整个人席卷包裹进去，再也看不见人影。
“快走！” 君儿死死拉住宋振国。
宋振国大吼着。
“你们还是好好担心下自己吧。”
之前那白裙女人居然又出现了，她身体已经完好无损，轻飘飘的浮现在厢房大火边上，头发下的目光阴测测的盯着两人。
宋振国两人赶紧从门口跑出去，不敢回头。
“是我！ 是我害了路兄！” 宋振国眼中含泪，悲愤不已。
“先逃出去再说！” 君儿断然道。
嗖！
身后那白裙女人飞快飘出来，追向两人。 “想逃？
！” 她尖声大叫。
！
就在这时，女人身后的大火中轰然传出一声咆哮，一个还在燃烧的强壮人影顶开横梁，从大火里一跃而起。
大量火星碎末炸开，一只大手从火焰中狠狠抓住她。
却见路胜猛然扑出来，刀光席卷火焰，如同掀起的巨大红色浪花，当头便从她头顶正中一刀砍下。
女子再度被一分为二，被路胜劈成两片。
但她被劈成两片的身体居然又飞速融合起来，在另一处半空恢复如初。
“区区凡人！ 居然敢....”她尖叫着，黑发翻飞乱舞没，双手交叠，做出一个奇异的手势，周身白裙骤然分化出一道道白色布匹，朝着路胜飞落席卷而来。
！” 道道白绫飞射下来，每一道都破开空气，发出尖锐锋利的呼啸。
路胜双目血红，浑身衣服还有没熄灭的火焰，一些地方还在泛白烟。
黑煞功经过一连串的消耗，已经让他能稍稍恢复一些清明。
感觉到自己身体被大面积烧伤，路胜迅速加速运转起体内黑虎玉鹤功。 强化过的黑虎玉鹤功自愈力很强，很快便能感觉身体内部的灼热滚烫减轻了许多。
但就是这么一换内气，黑虎玉鹤功和黑煞功同时高速运转，路胜顿时感觉体内出现了某种不同寻常的变化。
两股热流同时在体内运转，一股狂暴，一股静谧。
他提着刀死死盯着半空的女子。 心中蓦然升起一种奇异的感觉。
两股内气，一左一右，分别涌入他左右双臂，然后在双手紧握的短刀上汇聚缠绕。 形成一道庞大而凶悍的力量。
顺着这股力量，路胜身体微微拱起。
黑虎和仙鹤的观想图在他脑海里骤然融为一体，盘旋缠绕起来。
福临心至般，路胜手中短刀刹那间炸开一团红芒。 嗷！
唳！
仿佛巨虎和仙鹤的高亢吼叫，同时重叠冲天而起。
虎啸鹤唳中，路胜一跃而起，刀光在女子身上笔直一刀刺入。
这一次巨大的力量没有让女子被砍成两半，而是身体噗的一下炸成大量碎片，伴随着火星飞溅下，碎片被点燃，掉落在大火里，再没了声息。
砰！
路胜狠狠落地，砸得整个画舫都在震动，剧烈喘息了一阵，他才缓缓直起身。 低头在甲板上轻轻捡起一根紫玉发簪，这是之前那女子掉落下来的唯一一样东西。 “宋兄。
看来你艳福不浅啊，这样都一点没事。” 路胜看到不远处甲板上的宋振国两人，咧嘴一笑，露出一口雪白牙齿。
宋振国全程看到了刚才大战的一幕，已经有些怀疑自己这个新交的朋友兄弟到底是不是人类了。 “去找陈兄吧。
我们该下船了。 否则晚了就走不了了。” 路胜抬起手，看到自己身上衣服已经被烧焦黏在皮肤上。
“那....那个女鬼，就这样没了？” 宋振国愕然问。
“不知道，不过应该是没了。” 路胜摇头，他视线看向小君。
小君笑了笑，回以一个温柔而感激的笑容。
三人迅速在船舱一角找到昏睡过去了的陈焦荣，宋振国背着他，四人顺着码头下了船。 才刚下船，身后的画舫转眼便燃成火船，大火在松柏江上清晰可见。
让人奇怪的是，他们现在才发现，自己所在的地方，早已不是沿山城边的江上，而是一处荒郊野外的江边。
四人上了岸，环顾四周看了眼，居然没有看到一点民居人烟之类痕迹。 而是一处野草丛生的荒野。
路胜找了宋振国的外套把衣服换了。
他身上的衣服撕扯掉后，居然皮肤只有少部分烧伤，大部分都只是被烧黑了。 头发胡须汗毛什么的也都被烧没了，整个人成了光秃秃大鸡蛋一个。
看着大火中的画舫缓缓沉入江中，渐渐消失不见。 路胜这才看向小君，宋振国此时也看向君儿，他们都需要一个解释，一个只有小君才知晓的解释。
这一切到底是怎么回事。
君儿看到两人的眼神好，也低下头，抿着嘴沉默了下。
“你们别看着我，画舫的事，我也知道不多。 我唯一知晓的，就是我们不是普通的画舫，上边有个很神秘厉害的头，整个松柏江上的画舫，大部分都是他控制。 而我们的画舫也名义上属于他。
那个女人也是之前一直负责我们的船头，只是我一直不知道她.....她居然....”君儿轻轻摇头，低叹一声。
“先回去再说吧。” 路胜看了眼空空荡荡的江面，“谁能知道这里是什么地方？”
距离沿山城，足足有十多里的距离。 我们只要顺着河往上走就好。”
他看向浑身焦黑的路胜，伸手拦住君儿，忽然对着路胜深深一记弯腰鞠躬。
“这一次，是我差点害了月生和焦荣的性命。 为了我和君儿的事，差点将你们两人牵扯进来。”
“此事...怕是还不算完。” 路胜却冲他微微摇头。
宋振国一愣，忽然看到路胜的视线落在自己身侧君儿身上。
他迅速转头看向君儿，却骇然看见，她原本实实在在的身体，正慢慢的变得半透明。

Chapter 48
It was merely a simple, short saber. And yet, it continuously hacked through two wooden walls, which were even made of specially treated wood to boot. The saber blade hacked into the white-clothed person, carrying with it the aftershock of the attack.
“RIP!!!”
A tearing sound like that of cloth being ripped could be heard. Lu Sheng’s eyes were bloodshot. In one slash of the saber, he sliced the white-clothed person into two halves.
The saber spun round, splitting a wooden table on the side into two pieces along the way.
His watchful gaze swept across the room. Black Fury Skill revolved quickly all over his body. A tyrannical air of violent savagery emanated from his chest, lingering about him without dispersing in the least.
“YOU COURT DEATH!!!” Lu Sheng roared madly, striking with Tiger Kill of the Black Tiger Saber Technique. “GET OUT HERE!”
The saber force smashed into the wall before him like a thunderstorm. A huge bang rang out in the midst of the tiger roar.
“KA-BOOM!!!”
More than half of the entire wall was smashed into smithereens by Lu Sheng, whose force was being amplified by Black Fury Skill. Broken bits and pieces of black wood flew all over.
Behind the third destroyed wall, a woman dressed in white appeared before his eyes, her face covered with long hair.
Song Zhenguo and Jun’er were huddled in a corner, staring at her with eyes filled with despair and hysterical fear. Little did they expect that Lu Sheng would come across them at this moment.
In the first few seconds, both of them were stunned. After they recognized Lu Sheng, however, their shock turned into joy as they watched Lu Sheng charge towards the white-clothed woman like a deity descended from heaven.
Song Zhenguo was about to rise and approach them, but he was pulled back by Jun’er abruptly.
“Something’s wrong! Wait first!” Blood trickled down the corner of Jun’er’s mouth. She had been hurt at some point in time. Right now, she was staring at Lu Sheng, clearly sensing that something was out of the ordinary about this person.
“What’s wrong? That’s Brother Lu. That’s Brother Yue Sheng! I didn’t know that he was so strong, so powerful! He must have come to rescue me!” Song Zhenguo explained hurriedly, his spirits reinvigorated.
“Look closely again!” Jun’er reminded in a hushed tone.
Song Zhenguo paused, then quickly turned and look. Only then did he find that Lu Sheng looked odd.
“HEEHEEHEE…” the woman’s figure flew backwards, sending massive volumes of oily green fireballs, which looked like human heads, flying towards Lu Sheng.
Several dozens of green fireballs cut off all his escape routes.
Black Fury Skill rippled to its maximum power on Lu Sheng. His heart was presently filled with a tyrannical, murderous intent to destroy and kill. The short saber in his hand vibrated intensely. Copious amounts of inner Qi flooded into his right arm, channeling into the saber’s blade as he slashed forward with it.
“ROAR!”
A deafening tiger roar!
Silver saber light formed the shape of a gigantic axe, colliding squarely with the oncoming green fireballs. “BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM…”
A series of bursting sounds, like the sound of gas balloons being burst, rang out. Huge volumes of green fire were burst apart and fell all over, covering the hanging red lanterns in flames. The flames rapidly spread along the rugs and leather.
“A pugilistic expert? An inner and outer force double-cultivator? Not bad,” the woman shrieked in laughter. Her body floated into the air slowly and she waved her hand.
Instantly, a string of round black orbs flew in from the gaping hole in the broken wall. Several dozens of orbs smashed towards him before he could realize what was happening.
“Tiger Might!” Lu Sheng gripped the saber in both hands, the giant frame of his body forming a stark contrast with the compact, short saber. Presently, however, the short saber was vibrating at an incredible speed, turning brighter and brighter as it reflected the light of the flames, becoming glaring to behold.
“HOO!”
Like a giant tiger, a gust of wind swept forward like a tornado. Lu Sheng pounced forward. His explosive speed across the short distance even surpassed his earlier speed when he was hunting down the white-clothed person.
He continuously dodged and actually evaded every single one of those orbs. Then finally, at an unfathomable speed, he hacked down on the woman’s neck. “SPLAT!”
A human head flew up in the air. Lu Sheng rode on the momentum of his saber and delivered another slash as he swung it back!
“SPLAT.”
The white-clothed woman was sliced into two halves diagonally. An ear-piercing shriek rang out.
The fire grew stronger and stronger. Quickly, the beams of the chamber were burnt through and collapsed all of a sudden.
After striking with his full might, Lu Sheng had barely come to the end of his strike when the horizontal beam slammed onto him. All around him, fire rolled towards him as if it were alive, engulfing him in flames and covering him from sight.
“LU SHENG!!!”
Only then did Song Zhenguo and Jun’er dash out from the corner of the room in an attempt to save him. But their efforts were in vain.
The bean had slammed into Lu Sheng right on the top of his head and the raging flames had consumed him entirely in the blink of an eye. He was no longer visible.
“Let’s go!” Jun’er clutched onto Song Zhenguo tightly.
“YUE SHENG! BROTHER LU!” Song Zhenguo bellowed.
“Both of you should worry about yourselves first.”
Astonishingly, the white-clothed woman appeared again. Her body was already perfectly intact, without a single wound. Lightly, she floated beside the fire in the chamber, staring at the two of them deviously with a pair of dark eyes under the hair.
The duo including Song Zhenguo rushed out of the door without even daring to turn their heads.
“It’s me! I’m the one who sent Brother Lu to his death!” Tears welled up in Song Zhenguo’s eyes. Anger and grief overwhelmed him.
“We’ll talk about it after we escape!” Jun’er said decisively.
“ZOOM!”
The white-clothed woman shot out behind them, right at their heels.
“TRYING TO RUN!?” she shrieked loudly.
“ARGHHHHHHH!!!”
Just then, a bellow rang out from within the flames behind the woman. A muscular figure, flames still burning here and there on his body, pushed away the beam and leapt from the fire into the air.
Sparks flew as a giant hand emerged from the flames and gripped onto her.
But all she saw was Lu Sheng pouncing towards her, his saber sweeping through the flames, conjuring up a massive wave of red and then hacking downwards squarely above her head. “RIP!”
Once again, the woman was hacked into two halves by Lu Sheng.
But, unbelievably, the two halves of her body began to merge rapidly again, recovering its original form.
“A mere mortal! How dare you…” she screamed, black hair flying about madly behind her. Her hands lay over each other, forming a strange hand sign. Then, her white dress instantly turned into streaks and streaks of white cloth, shooting towards Lu Sheng and enveloping him.
“Die!” Streaks after streaks of white cloth shot at him, each emitting sharp roars as they cut through the air.
Lu Sheng’s eyes were blood-red. Flames still smoldered on his robes and white smoke was billowing out of some spots on him.
After a series of moves that had exhausted the Black Fury Skill, he was gradually regaining some sobriety.
He could sense that a large surface area of his body had been burnt. Lu Sheng quickly accelerated Black Tiger Jade Crane Skill. The improved version of Black Tiger Jade Crane Skill boasted strong healing abilities. Before long, Lu Sheng could feel the scorching burn on many parts of his body alleviating significantly.
But with this change of Inner Qi, both Black Tiger Jade Crane Skill and Black Fury Skill activated at high speed within him and Lu Sheng immediately sensed an extraordinary transformation occurring within him.
Two warm currents were spinning in him; one was violent while the other was serene.
He held onto his saber and stared doggedly at the woman floating in mid-air. Unexpectedly, an indescribable feeling arose in his heart.
Two streams of Inner Qi, one left and the other right, flowed into his left and right arms respectively. Then, they merged and entangled with each other on the short saber in the grip of both his hands, generating a formidable and fierce might.
Following the flow of this power, Lu Sheng’s body arched outwards slightly.
The meditative diagrams of both the Black Tiger and Immortal Crane became one in his mind, entangling with each other.
As if he had gained enlightenment, a red glow exploded out of Lu Sheng’s saber in that very instant.
“ROAR! SHRIEK!”
A high-pitched sound which was both like a tiger’s roar and a crane’s call rose to the heavens!
In the midst of this sound, Lu Sheng leapt up in the air and stabbed his saber pencil-straight into the woman’s body.
This time, the massive force did not hack the woman into two halves. Rather, her body exploded with a blast into innumerable shards, which were lit ablaze by the flying sparks. These fell into the fire and no sound was heard from them again.
“Thud!”
Lu Sheng landed heavily on the deck, causing tremors throughout the entire pleasure boat. After a fit of heavy panting, he finally straightened his body slowly. He looked down and picked up a purple jade hairpin from the deck. This was the only object that had fallen off the woman’s body.
“Brother Song. Looks like the heavens smile on you. You’re fine even after all that,” Lu Sheng smiled at the duo including Song Zhenguo not far from him on the deck, revealing a row of snow-white teeth.
“Brother… Brother Lu…?” After fully witnessing the tremendous battle earlier, Song Zhenguo was seriously doubting if his new friend and brother was human after all.
“Let’s find Brother Chen. We should be getting off the boat. Otherwise, if we dawdle for too long, we may be unable to leave anymore,” Lu Sheng lifted his arms. His charred clothes were now stuck to his skin. Fortunately, Black Fury Skill gave him very high heat endurance. Moreover, his actions in the battle earlier were too violent and quick, preventing the flames on his body from burning on in a vicious cycle. Hence, his burn wounds were not significant.
“So… that female ghost… she’s gone just like that?” Song Zhenguo asked, stunned.
“No idea. But she should be gone,” Lu Sheng shook his head. His gaze fell on Little Jun.
Little Jun returned his gaze with a gentle and grateful smile.
The three of them swiftly found the fainted Chen Jiaorong in a corner of the boat. Song Zhenguo carried him on his back and the four of them alighted the boat at the harbor. They had only just gotten off it when the pleasure boat behind them lit up in flames. The huge fire was clearly visible on Cypress Pine Lake.
Strangely enough, they suddenly discovered that they were no longer at the spot by the lake near Mountain-Edge City. Rather, they were at a lakeside area in a deserted wilderness.
The four of them stepped on land and surveyed their surroundings. To their surprise, they saw no signs of human presence. Everywhere was a wilderness, filled with wild grass.
Lu Sheng took Song Zhenguo’s outer robe and changed into it.
After ripping his clothes off his body, only a small portion of his skin was burnt. Most of it was merely black from the flames. The hair on his head, facial hair and whatnot had all been burnt clean.
They watched as the pleasure boat, consumed in flames, slowly sank into the lake till it disappeared. Only then did Lu Sheng look at Little Jun. Song Zhenguo also looked at Jun’er at that moment. Both of them needed an explanation–one that only Little Jun could give.
What on earth had happened?
At the sight of their stares, Jun’er bowed her head and bit her lips in silence.
“…Don’t stare at me. I actually don’t know much about the pleasure boat. All that I know is that we’re not an ordinary pleasure boat. There’s a very mysterious and powerful leader above us. Most of the pleasure boats on the entire Cypress Pine Lake are under his control. And our pleasure boat also belongs to him officially.
That woman had also been our boat master, in charge of us all this while. It’s just that I had no idea that she… she was…” Jun’er shook her head and sighed.
“Let’s talk further after we get back,” Lu Sheng stared at the surface of the vast and empty lake. “Who knows where this is?”
“Let me,” Song Zhenguo laughed bitterly. “If I’m not wrong, this should be a river downstream of Cypress Pine Lake outside Mountain-Edge City. It’s at least more than ten miles away from Mountain-Edge City. We just need follow the river upstream.”
He looked at Lu Sheng, who was entirely charred black. Pushing Jun’er aside, he suddenly bowed deeply at the waist towards Lu Sheng.
“This time, I almost led Yue Sheng and Jiaorong to your deaths. Because of Jun’er and me, we almost got both of you embroiled in this mess.”
“I’m afraid… this mess isn’t quite over yet,” Lu Sheng, however, shook his head gently at him.
Song Zhenguo was stunned, but suddenly saw Lu Sheng’s line of sight falling on Jun’er beside him.
He quickly turned to look at Jun’er, only to see that her body, originally as solid as reality, was gradually turning translucent.

But the moment after Stingham shot his giant fireball, a terrifying arcane energy fluctuation surged over them like a tidal wave.\n\"It's the Fire Caracal Lord!\" Ayrin excitedly shouted as he sensed a familiar blazing heat within the quickly moving wave of arcane energy.\nStingham's eyes widened in disbelief as he put his hands on his hips and began laughing.\nBut in the next moment, his face abruptly froze as he saw the Fire Caracal Lord.\n\"ROAR!\"\nThe Fire Caracal Lord appeared before them once more, but this time its entire body was radiating a dazzling red light like a ruby under the sun as powerful arcane energy fluctuations rippled from its body and caused the air surrounding it to crackle and pop.\nThe Fire Caracal Lord's change of appearance, however, was not what shocked Stingham. What caused Stingham to freeze was the fact that the Fire Caracal Lord's eyes were firmly glued to his body as if the others around him didn't exist. Stingham felt the aura of death emerge around him as the Fire Caracal Lord abruptly charged towards him.\n\"Ahhh!

Only the faint arcane energy fluctuations rippling over reminded them that they were still there.\nA look of befuddlement covered Rui's face as he said, \"There is nothing we can do. We must just hope that Stingham can follow your plan and lead the Fire Caracal Lord to Hanson and the other two.\"\n\"Can we rely on this guy?\" Rinloran couldn't help but ask as he looked towards Ayrin.\nAyrin hesitantly replied, \"If his life is on the line, then probably?\"\n\"It seems like the Poisonous Nighthawk Lord is also making an appearance!\"\nAt this moment, yet another familiar and powerful arcane energy fluctuation hit them.\n\"I'll go and lead it to Hanson, Neilson, and Konte!\" Ayrin shouted as he immediately began moving in the direction of the arcane energy fluctuations.\n\"Let me go, I am a bit faster than you!\" Rinloran insisted.\n\"Then I will go with you!\"\nSeeing how Ayrin and Rinloran were fighting to plunge into danger, a trace of emotion flashed through the eyes of the shy Christine as she quickly uttered, \"I have an arcane skill which can make you faster.\"\n\"Then it'll all be up to you two!\"\nWithout any hesitation, Rui nodded his head toward the forest behind him, \"They are coming from that direction.\"\n\"Okay. Understood!\"\nAyrin resolutely charged in the direction of the Poisonous Nighthawk Lord's aura. \"Moonlight Shadow!\"\nA beam of pure and brilliant moonlight arose from Christine's palm and descended over Ayrin's body. Ayrin immediately felt his body become several times lighter. Furthermore, there seemed to be a mysterious power pushing him forward behind every step he took.\nAyrin's eyes were filled with shock as he looked back at Christine. Similar to himself, her feet were enveloped with a faint, satiny light.\n\"We cannot stray too far from them. After all, the enemy consists of three people. They might not be all moving together,\" Rui said to Rinloran and Jano as he watched Ayrin and Christine disappear into the darkness.\n\"Boss Poisonous Nighthawk Lord!\"\nNot even a hundred meters later, Ayrin saw a giant body glowing a purplish blue appear amidst the darkness. He immediately shouted out towards it.\n\"Careful!\"\nChristine's hands unconsciously began trembling.\nBecause the bodies of lord level demonic beasts were much stronger than the average arcane master's, they could endure the circulation of more arcane particles. As a result, the arcane skill usage speed of these lord level demonic beasts was slightly faster than five gate arcane masters.\nConsidering their own level of strength, it was quite possible for them to be killed by just a single blow.\nUpon being greeted by Ayrin's loud shout, the light radiating from the Poisonous Nighthawk Lord's body flickered as arcane particles spewed out.\nBut right at this moment, the Poisonous Nighthawk Lord abruptly stopped.\n\"Ahhh! Great boss Fire Caracal Lord, we are on the same side!\"\nAyrin and Christine heard a giant explosion and then a familiar cry of misery. From the sound of it, it was approaching them.\n\"Stingham?\"\nAyrin and Christine watched as a completely drenched Stingham abruptly flew through the air ten meters before them with the Fire Caracal Lord following right behind him.\nAs Ayrin witnessed the scene before him, he couldn't help but quietly mutter to himself in a daze, \"Still not letting up… it looks like the Fire Caracal Lord has already buried its cub… that poor little cub.\"\n\"What?\" Christine perplexedly asked.\n\"No time! Brave warrior, are you ready?!\" Ayrin immediately shouted in response.\n\"Hmmmm?\" Christine became even more confused.\n\"Evil Flaming Eye!\"\nAn flaming eyeball releasing strange energies shot out from Ayrin's palm and smashed into the Poisonous Nighthawk Lord.\n\"Run!\" Ayrin shouted as he didn't bother looking back and began running for his life.\n\"Moonlight Shadow!\"\n\"Crystal Light Refraction Array!\"\nChristine finally woke up and also began fleeing.\nBehind her and Ayrin, sheets of crystallic light emerged. They reflected the fleeing images of Ayrin and Christine like mirrors as a dozen pairs of Ayrin and Christine appeared and fled in various directions.\nPoof!\nAs the Evil Flaming Eye collided with the Poisonous Nighthawk Lord, it turned into a ring of rainbow colored mist and diffused into the surroundings Not a single trace of harm could be seen on the Poisonous Nighthawk Lord's body.\nAs for the various colorful plants surrounding it, they instantly decayed upon coming into contact with the rainbow mist, turning into puddles of black water.\n\"Its innate ability!\"\n\"Just with the power of its bloodline, it can already block normal attacks and release a poisonous counterattack! Let's get out of here!\"\nSeeing the scene before them, Christine couldn't stop her teeth from chattering in fear.\n\"It's even stronger than I thought?\"\n\"But that's even better!\"\nAyrin's eyes lit up as an even stronger fighting intent surged through his body.\n\"Hanson! Neilson! Konte! Come fight me, you three losers!\"\n\"I've brought my boss here to deal with you guys!\"\n…… \"Such strong arcane energy fluctuations!\"\n\"What is that sound?!\"\nAt this time, three figures who were moving so quickly that their afterimages distorted abruptly paused.\nThe three stopped in a triangular formation and were constantly scanning several meters around them with caution.\nLeading at the front was the Crazed Alchemist Hanson.\nThe countless hollow metal needles still protruded from all over his body, making him seem incredibly perverse.\nOn Hanson's left was the House Roland arcane master who Ayrin and his team had yet to meet, Konte. Konte wore skin tight black clothes and had completely covered his face and hair. Only his two exposed eyes leaked his identity as a middle aged man.\n\"It's coming!\"\n\"It shouldn't be Rui. These arcane energy fluctuations are even more powerful!\"\nAs he spoke, Hanson's pupils abruptly shrank. He quickly took out a black potion and drank it.\n\"Hanson! Neilson! Konte! Come and fight me, you three losers!\"\nAt this exact moment, Ayrin screamingly burst forth from the dark forest before them, his body full of fighting intent and an explosive momentum!\nA large shadow chased behind him.\n\"This brat, was he still hiding a contracted summon?\"\n\"How is this possible?!\"\nAs a powerful arcane energy surged over them like a tidal wave, the looks on Hanson, Neilson, and Konte's faces all drastically changed.\n\"It's a Poisonous Nighthawk Lord! He was actually hiding a contracted summon like this?\" Konte shouted as he quickly identified the giant shadow behind Ayrin.\nBoom! But right at this moment, a rainbow sphere of light struck Ayrin. The sphere burst into colorful flames which completely enveloped Ayrin and sent him crashing into the ground somewhere far away. \"This…?\"\nThe three pursuers abruptly fell into a daze. Why did Ayrin's contracted summon attack him?\nAnd after taking such a blow, Ayrin surely must have died upon contact?"

第两百五十章
“魔鼬召唤！”
一股术力波动突然从艾林的身上荡漾而出。
“艾林你这个变态，你到底想干嘛啊！”
“时不时的就要施展这个讨厌的术技！”
一看到从空中掉落的斑纹魔鼬，司丁涵就顿时郁闷的捏住鼻子，大叫起来。
一股捏住鼻子都完全没有用的臭气在黑暗的森林中急速的扩散出来。
“魔鼬召唤！”
但是艾林竟然还不过瘾的样子，又是一只魔鼬从空中掉落了下来。
“你这个变态！”
“大火球术！”
司丁涵实在是受不了了，翻着白眼就一个大火球砸在了还没来得及放得出臭气的魔鼬上。
那只魔鼬直接就被烧成了一团黑乎乎的东西，倒飞了出去。
“艾林这是…难道真的有用？”
在第一只魔鼬掉落下来，散发出惊人的恶臭之时，所有的人还没有感觉到有什么异常，但就在司丁涵这个大火球术发出之后，一股恐怖的术力波动，却是马上如潮汐般涌了过来。
这股飞速接近的术力波动中带着一股灼热的热浪，非常的熟悉。 “火狞领主老大来了！
居然真的能行？”
司丁涵的眼睛不可置信的瞪大了，忍不住叉腰就要大笑。 可是他的脸马上就僵住了。
火狞领主出现在了他的视线之中。
这次出现的火狞领主，浑身都从内到外发出耀眼的红色光芒，整个身体都好像变成了红色的晶石，强烈的术力波动，冲击得周围的空气噼啪作响。
最为关键的是，这只变得分外恐怖的火狞领主，眼睛里丝毫没有别人的存在，根本就不管别人，一股死亡的气息死死的笼罩着司丁涵，直直的朝着司丁涵冲来。
“啊！ 火狞领主老大，你要做什么！”
艾林还没有反应过来，司丁涵已经惨叫着拼命往后逃了起来。 而火狞领主则完全不管他们，以异常惊人的速度追向拼命逃窜的司丁涵。
“大水龙术！”
“大水龙术！”
火狞领主此时的速度比平时的瑞都可能要快，司丁涵已经被迫用大水龙术轰击自己，把自己往前不断击飞出去，才能让自己不马上被这只火狞领主追上。
“怎么会这样？”
克里斯汀和言诺这两名食月族的术师呆若木鸡的看着艾林，在他们看来，就算是被臭得不行了，也应该找艾林，而不是盯着司丁涵。
艾林看了一眼那只被烧得黑乎乎的魔鼬，这才明白过来什么，说了这一句。
“怎么办，瑞老师，这样下去司丁涵的术元粒很快就会耗光，他肯定会被火狞领主杀死的。”
这个时候除了若有若无的术力波动还在传来之外，司丁涵和那只火狞领主已经跑得连影子都不见了。
瑞也是一副完全无语的神色,“没有办法，只能希望他能按照你的计划，引那头火狞领主去和潘森他们战斗了。”
“这个家伙真的靠得住么？” 林洛兰忍不住转头看了艾林一眼。
艾林有些不确定的说道：“事关他的性命，应该会靠得住吧？”
“好像是毒鸠领主也出现了！”
就在这个时候，又一股熟悉而强大的术力波动如潮汐般席卷而来。
“我去把它引向追杀的潘森他们！” 艾林马上叫了起来，就要朝着这股术力波动传来的方向掠出。
“我去，我比你要快一些！”
“我和你一起去！”
看着艾林和林洛兰争着去做危险的事情的样子，始终一脸拘谨样子的克里斯汀的眼睛里也闪过一丝感动的神色，她对着艾林飞快的说道，“我的术技能够让你变得更快。”
“既然这样，就交给你们了！”
瑞很决断的点了点身后的方位，“他们现在就在那个方向追来。”
“好，我知道了！”
艾林毫不迟疑的朝着毒鸠领主的气息传来的方向狂掠了过去。
一束像皎洁月光一样的光束从克里斯汀的手中发出，落在艾林身上的瞬间，艾林只觉得自己的身体好像一下子就轻盈了数倍，与此同时，脚上似乎还有一股力量，在推送着自己前进。
他惊讶的目光一扫之间，只看到自己和克里斯汀的双脚上，都始终缠绕着一层薄纱般的淡淡亮光。
“我们也不能和他们离开太远距离，对方的三个人，也未必是一起行动的。”
“毒鸠领主老大！”
刚刚冲出不过数百米的距离，艾林就马上看到前方出现了一个在黑夜中闪烁着奇特幽兰色光芒的庞大身影，他几乎下意识的就叫出了这么一句。
“小心！”
克里斯汀的双手都不自觉的颤抖起来。
这种领主级的魔兽因为身体本身比一般的术师强大许多，经受得住更多的术元粒流淌，所以它们施放术技的速度，比那些打开五个术门的术师还要快上一线。
以艾林和她的修为，很有可能被一击秒杀。
被艾林这样迎面一声大叫，这只毒鸠领主的身体表面的光焰猛的一闪，这已经是术元粒喷涌的前兆。
但就在这个时候，这只毒鸠领主却又顿住了。
火狞领主老大，我们是一伙的啊！”
一声惨叫伴随着轰然的巨浪声，突然由远及近，充斥了艾林和克里斯汀的耳朵。
“司丁涵？”
艾林和克里斯汀马上看到，浑身湿透的司丁涵就从他们面前十几米的地方崩飞了过去，而后方火狞领主也马上随着冲了过去。
“追了这么久都不放…看来火狞领主已经给它儿子举行了葬礼了…可怜的小火狞。” 艾林看到这样的景象，忍不住呆呆的嘀咕了一声。
“什么？”
“来不及了！ 勇士，准备好了么！” 艾林却是马上对她大叫了一声。
“什么？” 克里斯汀更不明白。
“火邪眼之术！”
一颗荡漾着妖异力量的火邪眼，从艾林的手中冲出，直接砸向了毒鸠领主。
“跑啊！” 艾林头也不回，大呼小叫的拼命逃遁起来。
“月之轻灵术！”
“折光迷惑晶阵！”
这下克里斯汀也终于反应了过来，也跟着拼命逃遁起来。
她和艾林的身后，出现了一片片的晶光，将她和艾林的身影照耀得变成了几十个影子，好像有几十个她和艾林，在不停的分散逃遁着。
“噗！”
火邪眼打在了毒鸠领主的身上，却是翻开了一圈迷离的七彩雾气，瞬间消失，连一点焦黑的痕迹都没有留下。
而被星星点点的七彩雾气沾染到的各种植物，全部瞬间腐烂，变成了一片片的黑水。
“反噬天赋！”
“光是自身的血脉能力，就已经能够抵挡普通的术技攻击，并能自然施放反击的毒元素！ 快跑啊！”
看到这样的景象，克里斯汀的嘴角都已经不停的颤抖了。
“比想象中的还要厉害么？”
“这样就更好了！”
艾林的眼睛却彻底的亮了起来，浑身燃烧起更强烈的战意。
昆徒！ 你们三个白痴，来和我决一死战啊！”
“我已经带着老大来对付你们了！”
他完全不看身后的毒鸠领主，拼命的大叫起来。
“好强大的术力波动！”
这个时候，三条因为速度太快，而在空气中显得有些扭曲的身影微微停顿下来。
三个人呈品字形前进，始终隔着六到七米的距离，看上去十分谨慎。
在最前面的，正是有着药剂狂人外号的潘森。
他的身上，还依旧插着许多中空的金属管，看上去分外的诡异。
他的左侧，是艾林等人还没有见过的罗兰家族术师昆徒，一个穿着黑色紧身衣，连头发和面目都遮掩起来，唯有两个眼睛露在外面的中等身材男子。
“来了！”
“应该不是瑞，比瑞的术力波动要强！”
突然之间，潘森的瞳孔瞬间收缩起来，他一抬手，直接喝下了一瓶黑色的药剂。
昆徒！ 你们三个白痴，来和我决一死战啊！”
也就在这个时候，浑身战意燃烧，大叫着的艾林，带着轰然的气势，从前方的黑暗森林中弹射出来！
后方一头庞大的身影，也呼之欲出。
“这个家伙，难道还隐匿着什么召唤兽？”
“怎么可能！”
一瞬间，当潮汐般的术力波动扑面而来，潘森等人全部彻底变了脸色。
“是毒鸠领主！ 他竟然隐藏着这样的一头召唤兽？”
“轰！” 但也就在这一瞬间，一个七彩的光球直接轰在了艾林的身上，迸发的光焰直接就将艾林彻底的裹住，然后往外抛飞而出，炸到了不知何处。 “这…？”
潘森等人一时根本反应不过来，召唤兽怎么反而攻击艾林？
这样的威力轰击，应该是直接就炸死了吧？

Chapter 250
"Skunk Devil Summoning!"
An arcane energy fluctuation rippled out from Ayrin's body.
"Ayrin, you weirdo, just what are you trying to do?!"
"How do you always find an opportunity to use this hateful arcane skill?!"
As he watched the striped skunk devil drop from midair, Stingham whined loudly and dismally pinched his nose.
Pssssssssh. A stench which couldn't be ignored quickly dispersed through the dark forest.
"Skunk Devil Summoning!"
But Ayrin wasn't done as yet another skunk devil fell from the sky.
"You monster!"
"Giant Fireball!"
Stingham couldn't endure it any longer as he rolled his eyes and sent a giant fireball hurling towards the skunk devil before it could even fart. Crackle…
As the skunk devil flew backwards, it was burnt into an unrecognizable black lump.
"Ayrin you… wait, did it actually work?"
None one had sensed anything changing in the forest around them after the first skunk devil appeared and released its stench. But the moment after Stingham shot his giant fireball, a terrifying arcane energy fluctuation surged over them like a tidal wave.
"It's the Fire Caracal Lord!" Ayrin excitedly shouted as he sensed a familiar blazing heat within the quickly moving wave of arcane energy.
Stingham's eyes widened in disbelief as he put his hands on his hips and began laughing.
But in the next moment, his face abruptly froze as he saw the Fire Caracal Lord.
"ROAR!"
The Fire Caracal Lord appeared before them once more, but this time its entire body was radiating a dazzling red light like a ruby under the sun as powerful arcane energy fluctuations rippled from its body and caused the air surrounding it to crackle and pop.
The Fire Caracal Lord's change of appearance, however, was not what shocked Stingham. What caused Stingham to freeze was the fact that the Fire Caracal Lord's eyes were firmly glued to his body as if the others around him didn't exist. Stingham felt the aura of death emerge around him as the Fire Caracal Lord abruptly charged towards him.
"Ahhh! Great boss Fire Caracal Lord, what are you trying to do?!"
Before Ayrin and the others could even react, Stingham had already screamed and begun fleeing for his life. The Fire Caracal Lord ignored them as it sprinted past them and chased after Stingham at an unbelievable speed."
"Water Dragon!"
"Water Dragon!"
The Fire Caracal Lord's current speed had already surpassed Rui's maximum speed, forcing Stingham to use his Water Dragon skill in succession to send himself flying and remain outside the clutches of the Fire Caracal Lord pursuing him.
"Why is it like this?"
Christine and Jano were like wooden chickens as they perplexedly looked at Ayrin. The perpetrator of the stench was Ayrin, and not Stingham, so why was it so fixated on Stingham?
Ayrin discovered the answer when his gaze fell on the charred skunk devil beside him as he said, "It has probably remembered something unpleasant."
"What should we do Teacher Rui? If this continues, Stingham will quickly run out of arcane particles and get killed by the Fire Caracal Lord," Ayrin anxiously continued.
By this time, Stingham and the Fire Caracal Lord had both disappeared into the darkness. Only the faint arcane energy fluctuations rippling over reminded them that they were still there.
A look of befuddlement covered Rui's face as he said, "There is nothing we can do. We must just hope that Stingham can follow your plan and lead the Fire Caracal Lord to Hanson and the other two."
"Can we rely on this guy?" Rinloran couldn't help but ask as he looked towards Ayrin.
Ayrin hesitantly replied, "If his life is on the line, then probably?"
"It seems like the Poisonous Nighthawk Lord is also making an appearance!"
At this moment, yet another familiar and powerful arcane energy fluctuation hit them.
"I'll go and lead it to Hanson, Neilson, and Konte!" Ayrin shouted as he immediately began moving in the direction of the arcane energy fluctuations.
"Let me go, I am a bit faster than you!" Rinloran insisted.
"Then I will go with you!"
Seeing how Ayrin and Rinloran were fighting to plunge into danger, a trace of emotion flashed through the eyes of the shy Christine as she quickly uttered, "I have an arcane skill which can make you faster."
"Then it'll all be up to you two!"
Without any hesitation, Rui nodded his head toward the forest behind him, "They are coming from that direction."
"Okay. Understood!"
Ayrin resolutely charged in the direction of the Poisonous Nighthawk Lord's aura. "Moonlight Shadow!"
A beam of pure and brilliant moonlight arose from Christine's palm and descended over Ayrin's body. Ayrin immediately felt his body become several times lighter. Furthermore, there seemed to be a mysterious power pushing him forward behind every step he took.
Ayrin's eyes were filled with shock as he looked back at Christine. Similar to himself, her feet were enveloped with a faint, satiny light.
"We cannot stray too far from them. After all, the enemy consists of three people. They might not be all moving together," Rui said to Rinloran and Jano as he watched Ayrin and Christine disappear into the darkness.
"Boss Poisonous Nighthawk Lord!"
Not even a hundred meters later, Ayrin saw a giant body glowing a purplish blue appear amidst the darkness. He immediately shouted out towards it.
"Careful!"
Christine's hands unconsciously began trembling.
Because the bodies of lord level demonic beasts were much stronger than the average arcane master's, they could endure the circulation of more arcane particles. As a result, the arcane skill usage speed of these lord level demonic beasts was slightly faster than five gate arcane masters.
Considering their own level of strength, it was quite possible for them to be killed by just a single blow.
Upon being greeted by Ayrin's loud shout, the light radiating from the Poisonous Nighthawk Lord's body flickered as arcane particles spewed out.
But right at this moment, the Poisonous Nighthawk Lord abruptly stopped.
"Ahhh! Great boss Fire Caracal Lord, we are on the same side!"
Ayrin and Christine heard a giant explosion and then a familiar cry of misery. From the sound of it, it was approaching them.
"Stingham?"
Ayrin and Christine watched as a completely drenched Stingham abruptly flew through the air ten meters before them with the Fire Caracal Lord following right behind him.
As Ayrin witnessed the scene before him, he couldn't help but quietly mutter to himself in a daze, "Still not letting up… it looks like the Fire Caracal Lord has already buried its cub… that poor little cub."
"What?" Christine perplexedly asked.
"No time! Brave warrior, are you ready?!" Ayrin immediately shouted in response.
"Hmmmm?" Christine became even more confused.
"Evil Flaming Eye!"
An flaming eyeball releasing strange energies shot out from Ayrin's palm and smashed into the Poisonous Nighthawk Lord.
"Run!" Ayrin shouted as he didn't bother looking back and began running for his life.
"Moonlight Shadow!"
"Crystal Light Refraction Array!"
Christine finally woke up and also began fleeing.
Behind her and Ayrin, sheets of crystallic light emerged. They reflected the fleeing images of Ayrin and Christine like mirrors as a dozen pairs of Ayrin and Christine appeared and fled in various directions.
Poof!
As the Evil Flaming Eye collided with the Poisonous Nighthawk Lord, it turned into a ring of rainbow colored mist and diffused into the surroundings Not a single trace of harm could be seen on the Poisonous Nighthawk Lord's body.
As for the various colorful plants surrounding it, they instantly decayed upon coming into contact with the rainbow mist, turning into puddles of black water.
"Its innate ability!"
"Just with the power of its bloodline, it can already block normal attacks and release a poisonous counterattack! Let's get out of here!"
Seeing the scene before them, Christine couldn't stop her teeth from chattering in fear.
"It's even stronger than I thought?"
"But that's even better!"
Ayrin's eyes lit up as an even stronger fighting intent surged through his body.
"Hanson! Neilson! Konte! Come fight me, you three losers!"
"I've brought my boss here to deal with you guys!"
…… "Such strong arcane energy fluctuations!"
"What is that sound?!"
At this time, three figures who were moving so quickly that their afterimages distorted abruptly paused.
The three stopped in a triangular formation and were constantly scanning several meters around them with caution.
Leading at the front was the Crazed Alchemist Hanson.
The countless hollow metal needles still protruded from all over his body, making him seem incredibly perverse.
On Hanson's left was the House Roland arcane master who Ayrin and his team had yet to meet, Konte. Konte wore skin tight black clothes and had completely covered his face and hair. Only his two exposed eyes leaked his identity as a middle aged man.
"It's coming!"
"It shouldn't be Rui. These arcane energy fluctuations are even more powerful!"
As he spoke, Hanson's pupils abruptly shrank. He quickly took out a black potion and drank it.
"Hanson! Neilson! Konte! Come and fight me, you three losers!"
At this exact moment, Ayrin screamingly burst forth from the dark forest before them, his body full of fighting intent and an explosive momentum!
A large shadow chased behind him.
"This brat, was he still hiding a contracted summon?"
"How is this possible?!"
As a powerful arcane energy surged over them like a tidal wave, the looks on Hanson, Neilson, and Konte's faces all drastically changed.
"It's a Poisonous Nighthawk Lord! He was actually hiding a contracted summon like this?" Konte shouted as he quickly identified the giant shadow behind Ayrin.
Boom! But right at this moment, a rainbow sphere of light struck Ayrin. The sphere burst into colorful flames which completely enveloped Ayrin and sent him crashing into the ground somewhere far away. "This…?"
The three pursuers abruptly fell into a daze. Why did Ayrin's contracted summon attack him?
And after taking such a blow, Ayrin surely must have died upon contact?

"value": "Chapter 171: Deal Your Moral Integrity and Pocket Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy\nAfter watching the ultimate showdown of Wang Lu against Liu Li on the Cloud Platform and the subsequent godly ten winning streak of Wang Lu, the spectators from near and afar finally said goodbye to the mountain—In fact, they had no way to stay even if they wanted to. Spirit Sword Sect was not a public park that everyone could stroll around as they wish.\nAs the crowds of spectators left the scene, the exchange activity of Ten Thousand Arts Sect and Spirit Sword Sect quietly reached its last act.\nThough in accordance with the rules, there was still the five-on-five group fight, the interest of the cultivators on both sides inevitably faded down. People treated this group fight more like an aftertaste after a climax.\nEven the disciples who took part in the fight did not take this matter too seriously. Within the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, rather than strategizing, they were actually somewhat eager for the fight; they had the thought of wanting to wipe away the previous shame, but they weren’t that too passionate to prepare for it.\nThe group fight of the two sects began two days after the final one-on-one fight. This fight was an ideal event to showcase first the friendship and second the harmonious atmosphere. Although the disciples of the two sects would certainly make an all-out effort, there was no murderous intention or even anger in it. Sure enough, the Ten Thousand Arts Sect really showed their proper imposing manner in this round of fight. Their five disciples acted in harmony, casting out spells incessantly one after the other and causing the onlookers off stage to be dazzled and gasped in amazement.\nOn the other side, Spirit Sword Sect team appeared slightly inferior. Shortly after the start of the fight, Wen Bao and Yue Yun were filled with remorse after being cast off stage by Zhan Ziye’s Annihilation Thunder. Although at that moment Wang Lu had a mind to rescue them, even if he had his strengthened Non-Phase Method by Big Heart Demon Oath, it was still beyond his power to defend four of his teammates in the face of the relentless Zhan Ziye, Ye Feifei, and the others.\nWhen the battle reached its middle stage, Yue Xinyao also had to reluctantly leave. The Spirit Sword Sect team now only had two people, Liu Li and Wang Lu. While on the Ten Thousand Arts Sect side, they still had their original five people team; They didn’t lose anyone at all.\nAt this point, people thought that the Ten Thousand Arts Sect would smoothly claim the victory and salvage some face. However, the result was quite unexpected.\nBecause the Ten Thousand Arts Sect could do nothing to the remaining two.\nWang Lu was needless to say; even Liu Li’s Brilliant Sword Heart couldn’t penetrate his three feet sword defense. Zhan Ziye and Ye Feifei had tried their hardest, bombarding him with their strongest long range attack, but it was to no avail. While Liu Li was not as good at defense, her twelve dispersed flying swords were not easy to deal with. Let alone though Wang Lu was unable to protect four people at once, protecting just Liu Li with his Non-Phase Sword Qi was no trouble at all for him.\nAfter being entangled for a while, Wang Lu and Liu Li’s advantage in protracted fight began to manifest. On the Ten Thousand Arts Sect side, their most important defender Lu Qiancai had exhausted all of his talismans, thus unable to protect his teammates from the Brilliant Sword Heart attack. Thereupon, one by one, these fellow disciples were eliminated by Liu Li. Finally, Zhan Ziye attempted to repeat his previous trick, using the Annihilation Thunder to perish together. However, Wang Lu passionately rushed over and tightly embraced him, stuffing all the Annihilation Thunder power back at him, which nearly collapsed Zhan Ziye’s Jade Mansion and primordial spirit.\nBoth one-on-one fight, as well as group fight, resulted in defeat. Ten Thousand Arts Sect had nothing to say anymore. Their several disciples decided to endure the humiliation by going back to their Sect to practice in seclusion, steeling themselves to the hardships of training so that one day they could avenge their grievances.\nBefore leaving, however, Spirit Sword Sect organized its disciples to send their guests off at the Four Directions Peak. There, the two sides exchanged sincere words to each other; it was quite a touching scene.\nThe girl tilted her head and said with a puzzled face, \"But one year later, you will still lose out to me.\"\nStanding on the side, Wang Lu, who came along to send off the visitor, could not help but sigh; he really felt pitiful at this bunch of useless otakus of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect\n\"Senior Sister Liu Li, that grandson wants to invite you to eat barbecue next time.\"\nZhan Ziye suddenly felt two diametrically opposite feelings clash inside and stir his heart. One was the kind of \"the happiness that comes from the touch of the gentle and delicate hands\", and another one as \"It seems like in my entire life, I will not have a chance\". Soon, that childlike innocence was broken into pieces of debris, and he suffered a blow as serious as the strike from the Brilliant Sword Heart.\nIn addition, Hai Yunfan was also filled with emotion. \"Brother Wang, you have given me a lesson.\"\n\"Little Hai, when did I ever give you one? Don’t talk nonsense.\"\n\"... Hehe.\" Hai Yunfan laughed at himself. \"It’s true. Since five years ago when I left the Spirit Sword Sect, I have been thinking. If I didn’t enter the Ten Thousand Arts Sect and instead became a fellow disciple as Brother Wang, what kind of scene would that be?\"\nWang Lu frowned and took a half-step back. \"Little Hai, seriously, you are now creeping me out.\"\nHai Yunfan decided to ignore Wang Lu and continue his monologue, \"This matter has been tangling me for a long time, but now I instead can finally relax. Compared to being disciples of the same sect, becoming your opponent is indeed more interesting... of course, becoming an enemy is out of the question.\"\nOpponent and enemy were indeed two very distinct concepts.\n\"Next time, I will try not to lose to you.\" Hai Yunfan said and shook his head. \"Of course, coming from a defeated opponent, people would laugh at it. However, I still have to say my declaration. Brother Wang, I look forward to our next meeting.\"\nWang Lu looked at Little Hai. \"Okay.\"\n\"Ah, I almost forgot. I brought a gift for you.\" Hai Yunfan handed Wang Lu a piece of sincere paper. \"It may be useful for you.\"\nWang Lu took it and found that it was a royal seal of the Grand Cloud Empire; he could not help but smile.\nLittle Hai was indeed little Hai. When it was time to become intimate, he became especially intimate. With the royal seal of the Grand Cloud Empire, the inter-country business of the Wisdom Sect would move one step further. Currently, Wang Lu didn’t need additional resources; the spirit stones was particularly abundant. However, this royal seal was not something that could easily be bought by money.\nAfter sending off the Ten Thousand Arts Sect people, Spirit Sword Sect once again became deserted. In this short of half a month, they really had experienced a lot of things. When the Cloud Wave Boat gradually disappeared into the distance, swallowed by the brilliance of the sun light, many people felt truly exhausted.\nHowever, no matter how exhausted they were, there were still works that needed to be done.\nFor example, the settlement of a certain crazy gambler. In dueling against Liu Li, Wang Lu had bet nearly one hundred million on himself. It was the biggest single stake in the history of gambling in the Nine Regions in decades. In the end, he ultimately won more than one hundred million spirit stones, which could be rated as an unbeatable record. For such a huge amount of money, even an institution as big as the Mysterious Sky Mansion couldn’t come up with such a cash in a short amount of time. In the end, the regional leader of the Mysterious Sky Mansion in the Blue River Region personally delivered over a hundred first rate Mysterious Sky Crystals, which caused countless of disciples’ eyes to spring wide in shock.\nIn accordance with Wang Lu’s prior agreement, he gave fifty pieces of them to his Master. The happy woman announced on the spot her intent to marry off herself to that regional leader, and the marriage would be held right then. This made the regional leader of the Mysterious Sky Mansion feel extremely awkward. Fortunately, the Sect Leader and Disciplinary Elder promptly curbed back the woman’s ambition with their sword light, forcing her to leave the matter at that.\nSuddenly becoming rich from being poor, the Fifth Elder was completely without the calm and composure of an Immortal Cultivator. She held the fifty pieces of first rate Mysterious Sky Mansion Crystal and cheerfully descended the mountain on her flying sword, saying that she wanted to carefully enjoy life. After more than ten days, the woman in white went back on the mountain, surprisingly content to live a humble but virtuous life.\nToward this development, Wang Lu was naturally curious. Becoming disillusioned with the mortal world in just ten days, was this woman’s self-cultivation that amazing? However, when he asked, the answer was like a thunder strike.\n\"Ran out of money so had to come back.\"\nRan out of money!?\nWang Lu simply ‘prostrated himself in admiration’; she had actually squandered tens of millions of spirit stones in just ten days!?\nActually, by this time, Wang Lu also had no money in his hand. When his Master freely squandered the money down the mountain for several days, he had transferred all of his winning money back to Wisdom Sect to accelerate its development. During the sect’s rapid growth at this time, it was in a state of financial hunger; no matter how much money was fed into it, it would immediately be digested. Wang Lu firmly believed that when Wisdom Sect finally bloomed and bore fruit, he would harvest his investment this time by several folds.\nIn any case, the story of the pair of Master and disciple of the Non-Phase Peak who squandered their over a hundred million spirit stones in just ten days had become a glorious legend on the Spirit Sword Mountain.\nAfter that, it was the matter of sect’s lead representative.\nIn order to inspire progress from the disciples, the Spirit Sword Sect’s Heavenly Sword Hall, under the advice from Wang Lu, setup the system of lead representative. In which, the champion of the single fight on the just-now-ended sect’s competition would be awarded ten years’ time of lead representative authority.\nAlthough there was a great controversy on the final battle, Wang Lu’s victory was beyond doubt. Therefore, after a quick deliberation, Sect Leader Daoist Master Feng Yin acted on behalf of the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders to grant Wang Lu the title of lead representative.\nThe lead representative inauguration ceremony was held quietly on the Stellar Peak, outside the Sect Leader’s bamboo hut, which was attended by just a few people. Initially, the Spirit Sword Sect wanted to summon all the disciples to the Four Directions Peak to announce the name of the lead representative, in order to inspire their morale. However, who told Wang Lu to be so one of a kind? The initial grand ceremony had to be scrapped.\nFor Wang Lu, the special authority of the lead representative was far more meaningful than the grand ceremony. Moreover, he never cared what other people think of him. After receiving the gold medal as the symbol of the lead representative from Daoist Master Feng Yin, Wang Lu was ready to descend from there.\nHowever, he heard Daoist Master Feng Yin laugh and say, \"Hehe, don’t you want to accompany this new Master of yours for a chat?\"\nThe sect’s lead representative was only under the control of the Sect Leader; theoretically, the relationship was equivalent to that of Master and disciple. Therefore, when Daoist Master Feng Yin voiced out his request, Wang Lu had to stop his footsteps; he turned over and smiled. \"By all means.\"\nThe old man and Wang Lu sat side by side outside the bamboo hut. After not saying anything for a long time, the old man slowly said, \"Since you entered the Spirit Sword Sect, it has been more than five years, but I still remembered clearly your journey on the Immortal Gathering and the obstacles that you came into. At that time, we almost made a big mistake by shutting you out. It still gives me a scare every time I remembered it.\"\nWang Lu chuckled. \"It can’t be that serious right? Spirit Sword Sect is full of talented people. Senior Sister Liu Li and that Senior Sister Zhu Shiyao whom I never met in these more than five years. In any other sect, having one of them is more than enough for them. Actually, it’s not that big of a deal for the sect if I suddenly vanish.\" Wang Lu earnestly said, \"On the contrary, if I hadn’t cultivated here, I wouldn’t have gotten this achievement today.\"\nDaoist Master Feng Yin revealed an incomparably gratified look. \"That’s really not easy for you to think like that. However, do not belittle yourself. Although Liu Li and Zhu Shiyao are first rate geniuses in the Nine Regions, the future of Spirit Sword Sect would ultimately land on you.\"\nWang Lu was silent for a while before saying, \"Sect Leader, could it be the Spirit Sword Sect recently suffered an investment failure, and thus needed to be injected with an emergency capital?\"\nFeng Yin admonished him, \"You, this kid, no matter how down and under the Spirit Sword Sect is, it does not covet your stash of money. Besides, do you really think a measly hundred first rate Mysterious Sky Mansion crystals can support the operation of a sect in the five unique?\"\nWang Lu said, \"That was just a joke. Please continue.\"\nFeng Yin said, \"In this Nine Regions, every several hundred or over a thousand years, a generation of heroes would come forth in large numbers; or the surging of the brilliant era. Right now, with the growth of your generation of young people, the glorious and turbulent era is not far away. Liu Li and Zhu Shiyao are indeed top level cultivators, but their flaws are also very serious, so they can’t afford to hold up the Spirit Sword Sect high in the sky. Therefore... today I awarded you the honor of lead representative, in the hopes that you will be worthy of this title and in the future become a veritable Spirit Sword Sect’s lead representative.\"\nWang Lu didn’t say anything for a while, and then he smiled to the Sect Leader. \"Rest assured, I really like this mountain, like this sect and like its people.\"\nFeng Yin suddenly asked, \"Then what about your Master?\"\nThis time, it was the Sect Leader who went into silence. Long after, the old man sighed with emotion.\n\"Throughout her life, she seems unrestrained, but actually, she is in fact lonely. I hope you... just do your best.\""

第四十六章
结束了琉璃仙与王陆的巅峰对决,又经历了王陆的云台十连胜超神之战,来自天南海北的看客们便纷纷告辞离山——事实上他们想留下也没门了,灵剑派又不是公园,让人想逛就逛的。
随着大批观众离场,这场万法仙门和灵剑派的交流活动也悄然进入尾声。
尽管按照规程,接下来还有一场两派五对五的团战要比,可两派修士的兴致却不可避免地淡了下去,对于这场团战对决,人们更多地是将其当作高氵朝后的余韵。
就连参加比斗的弟子们,也没有再将此事太放在心上,万法仙门中倒是略有摩拳擦掌,一雪前耻的念头,但是备战也不算太积极。
两派的团战,在两天后准时开始,这一场比斗,倒是很有理想中那种友谊第一,比赛第二的和谐气氛,两派弟子全力以赴,却没有多少杀气火气。 万法仙门在这场比赛中果然打出了应有的气势,五名弟子配合默契,法术层出不穷,令场下观战的修士们眼花缭乱,叹为观止。
灵剑派的配合就显得逊色了少许,开战不久,闻宝和岳云就满是遗憾不甘地被斩子夜的灭绝神雷轰下了场,期间王陆虽然有心救援,但就算他有心魔大誓强化无相功,想要在斩子夜和叶菲菲等人面前上演一保四,也力有未逮。
战斗进行到中期,就连岳馨瑶也无奈地退场,灵剑派只剩下琉璃仙和王陆两人,而万法仙门却五人俱全,无一败退。
至此,人们本以为万法仙门将顺利地取得胜利,挽回些颜面,但结果却又令人意想不到。
因为剩下的两个,万法仙门说什么也搞不定了。
王陆就不必说了,就连琉璃仙的剑心通明都奈何不了他的三尺剑围,斩子夜和叶菲菲都试着以最强功法轰击过,根本纹丝不动。 而琉璃仙虽然不擅长防御,十二口飞剑分散开来,也不是那么容易对付的,更何况王陆虽然一保四保不过来,以无相剑气来保琉璃仙一人,却毫无压力。
纠缠了一会儿,王陆和琉璃仙擅长持久战的优势便体现出来。 万法仙门一方,最重要的防御者路谦才耗尽了灵符,再也无法庇佑队友在剑心通明下生存,于是几名师兄弟被琉璃仙一一点杀,最后斩子夜试图故技重施,以灭绝神雷同归于尽,结果被王陆热情洋溢地冲上去紧紧抱住,肆虐的雷霆之力全都被闷了回来,险些把斩子夜闷得玉府坍塌,元神崩坏。
单人战和团战两战皆负,万法仙门已经无话可说,师兄弟几人决定忍辱负重,回山闭关,卧薪尝胆,他日再来报仇雪恨。
临行前,灵剑派组织弟子们前往四象峰送行,双方互致别词,场面倒也真挚感人。
少女歪着头,一脸不解：“可是一年后你肯定还是输给我呀。”
站在一旁,随之一道送客的王陆不由叹了口气,深深为万法仙门这帮废柴死宅的智商感到可悲。
“琉璃师姐,那孙子说下次来要请你吃烤肉。”
斩子夜顿时感觉自己一颗赤诚之心,被两种截然相反的感情扭曲搅动着,一种名为“温柔细腻的小手触感带来的幸福”,一种名为“我这辈子看来没戏了的痛苦”,很快那颗赤子童心就碎成点滴残片,如同遭受了不亚于剑心通明的严重打击。
此外,海云帆也是感慨万千：“王兄,你可又给我上了一课。”
“小海,我什么时候上过你？ 可不要乱说。”
“……呵呵。” 海云帆努力让自己笑出来,“说真的,自五年前离开灵剑山,我就一直在想,如果不是前往万法仙门,而是与王兄你成为同门师兄弟,会是怎样的光景？”
王陆皱起眉头,退后半步：“小海,说真的,你现在这个样子让我有些别扭。”
海云帆决定不理会王陆,继续说自己的：“为此我曾经纠结了很久,不过现在反而释然了,比起同门师兄弟,果然还是当你的对手比较有趣……当然,做敌人就免了。”
对手和敌人,这的确是截然不同的概念。
“下一次再来,我会努力不输给你的。” 海云帆说完,又摇了摇头,“当然,手下败将说出这种台词,徒惹人笑,不过该说的宣言,总归是要说的。 王兄,期待下一次的见面。”
王陆看了看小海：“行啊。”
“呵,差点忘了,这次前来,有个礼物送给你。” 海云帆将一张诚心纸交给王陆,“对你或许有用。”
王陆接过来,发现是云泰帝国皇室的印鉴,不由一笑。
小海果然是小海,该贴心的时候格外贴心,有了云州巨擘的皇室印鉴,智教的跨州业务将更上一层楼。
送走了万法仙门的人,灵剑派再次变得冷清起来,这短短半月时间,着实经历了不少事,当云波舟迎着金灿灿的阳光逐渐远去时,许多人都感到了由衷的疲惫。
不过,疲惫归疲惫,扫尾的工作还是要做。
比如某位疯狂赌徒的赌局结算。 王陆在与琉璃仙的决斗局中,下注近亿,是苍溪州数十年来的最大豪赌,最终赢取灵石超过一亿,堪称壕无人性。
王陆按照事先的约定,将其中五十枚分给了师父,喜得女子当场就宣布要委身下嫁,立时成亲,令那玄天馆的负责人都尴尬万分,好在女子的野心被掌门和掌刑长老一阵剑光生生打了回去,这才善罢甘休。
穷人乍富,五长老全然没有了修仙真人应有的淡定自若,她揣好五十枚玄天晶,乐呵呵地御剑下山,说要仔细享受生活。 十余日之后,白衣女子回山,令人惊讶地重新过起了安贫乐道的生活。
王陆对此自是好奇万分,短短十数日便看破红尘,这女人的修养这么了得？ 然而开口一问,得到的答案却如五雷轰顶。
“钱花光了,只好回来了。”
钱花光了？
王陆简直五体投地,才十几天时间,把几千万灵石花光了？
其实这个时候,王陆手里也没钱了,师父下山逍遥自在的这些天,他陆续将赢取的资金全数转移到了智教那里,用于加速发展,这个飞速成长的教派此时正处于资金饥渴状态,无论多少钱都消化得掉。 王陆坚信,当智教开花结果时,自己此时的投入将获得数倍的收获。
无论如何,无相峰师徒在短短十几日内,将上亿灵石挥霍一空的故事,还是成为了灵剑山上的光辉传奇。
再之后,就是门派首席的问题。
出于激励弟子奋发向上的目的,灵剑派天剑堂在王陆的建议之下,设立了门派首席制度,而这次门派大比单人战的冠军,将拥有十年期的首席弟子权限。
尽管最终决战存有极大的争议,但王陆的胜利却是毋庸置疑的,于是在议论声中,掌门风吟真人代表天剑堂全体长老,为王陆授予了首席弟子的头衔。
授衔仪式是在星辰峰,掌门竹室之外静悄悄地举行,在场的只有寥寥数人。 原本灵剑派是打算在四象峰召集全体来宣布首席人选,以此激励士气,不过谁让王陆这首席来得如此奇葩,原定的盛大仪式只好草就。
对于王陆来说,首席弟子的特殊权限远比盛大的仪式要有意义,而他也从来没在乎过其他人怎么看他,接过风吟真人手中象征首席弟子荣誉的金牌之后,王陆便准备下山。
却听风吟笑道：“呵呵,不陪我这个新上任的师父聊聊吗？”
门派首席只受掌门制约,理论上等同掌门弟子,风吟真人这么说了,王陆也只好停下脚步,回以笑容：“您有话请讲。”
竹室外,老者与王陆并排而坐,老者沉默许久后缓缓开口：“自你入灵剑派以来,已经有五年多了,然而你在升仙路上过关斩将的一幕幕却还记忆犹新,那时阴差阳错,险些铸成大错将你拒之门外,如今想来仍然后怕不已。” 王陆笑了：“有那么严重？
灵剑派人才济济,琉璃仙师姐,还有那个五年来没怎么见过面的朱诗瑶师姐哪一个都不在我之下,其余门派能得其一便可安天下,其实灵剑派缺我一个其实也没什么大不了。” 顿了顿,王陆认真说道,“相反,若不是在这里修行了无相功,我断然不能有今日成就,这一点我还分得清楚。”
风吟真人目光中透出无比的欣慰：“你能这么想,殊为不易。 不过也不必妄自菲薄,尽管小琉璃和瑶儿都是九州大陆一等一的天才,但灵剑派的未来,终归还要着落到你身上。”
王陆沉默了一会儿,说道：“掌门,莫非是灵剑派最近投资失败,需要紧急注资？”
风吟笑骂：“你这小子,灵剑派再怎么落魄,也不至于贪图你那点私房钱。 何况你真以为区区几百枚玄天晶就能支撑起万仙盟五绝宗派的运作？”
王陆说：“我就是表个态,您继续。”
如今,随着你们这一辈年轻人的成长,辉煌而动荡的年代怕是不远了。 小琉璃和瑶儿作为修士是顶尖的,但她们的缺陷也很严重,撑不起灵剑派的天空,所以……我今日将首席弟子的荣誉授予给你,希望日后你能无愧于这个称号,成为名符其实的灵剑首席。”
王陆沉默了一会儿,对掌门人笑道：“放心,我很喜欢这座山,喜欢这个门派和门派里的人。
风吟忽而又问：“那么,对你师父呢？”
这一次,轮到掌门真人陷入沉默,良久之后,老人一声感慨。
“她这一生啊,看似潇洒实则寂寞,你……便好自为之。”

Chapter 171: Deal Your Moral Integrity and Pocket Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy
After watching the ultimate showdown of Wang Lu against Liu Li on the Cloud Platform and the subsequent godly ten winning streak of Wang Lu, the spectators from near and afar finally said goodbye to the mountain—In fact, they had no way to stay even if they wanted to. Spirit Sword Sect was not a public park that everyone could stroll around as they wish.
As the crowds of spectators left the scene, the exchange activity of Ten Thousand Arts Sect and Spirit Sword Sect quietly reached its last act.
Though in accordance with the rules, there was still the five-on-five group fight, the interest of the cultivators on both sides inevitably faded down. People treated this group fight more like an aftertaste after a climax.
Even the disciples who took part in the fight did not take this matter too seriously. Within the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, rather than strategizing, they were actually somewhat eager for the fight; they had the thought of wanting to wipe away the previous shame, but they weren’t that too passionate to prepare for it.
The group fight of the two sects began two days after the final one-on-one fight. This fight was an ideal event to showcase first the friendship and second the harmonious atmosphere. Although the disciples of the two sects would certainly make an all-out effort, there was no murderous intention or even anger in it. Sure enough, the Ten Thousand Arts Sect really showed their proper imposing manner in this round of fight. Their five disciples acted in harmony, casting out spells incessantly one after the other and causing the onlookers off stage to be dazzled and gasped in amazement.
On the other side, Spirit Sword Sect team appeared slightly inferior. Shortly after the start of the fight, Wen Bao and Yue Yun were filled with remorse after being cast off stage by Zhan Ziye’s Annihilation Thunder. Although at that moment Wang Lu had a mind to rescue them, even if he had his strengthened Non-Phase Method by Big Heart Demon Oath, it was still beyond his power to defend four of his teammates in the face of the relentless Zhan Ziye, Ye Feifei, and the others.
When the battle reached its middle stage, Yue Xinyao also had to reluctantly leave. The Spirit Sword Sect team now only had two people, Liu Li and Wang Lu. While on the Ten Thousand Arts Sect side, they still had their original five people team; They didn’t lose anyone at all.
At this point, people thought that the Ten Thousand Arts Sect would smoothly claim the victory and salvage some face. However, the result was quite unexpected.
Because the Ten Thousand Arts Sect could do nothing to the remaining two.
Wang Lu was needless to say; even Liu Li’s Brilliant Sword Heart couldn’t penetrate his three feet sword defense. Zhan Ziye and Ye Feifei had tried their hardest, bombarding him with their strongest long range attack, but it was to no avail. While Liu Li was not as good at defense, her twelve dispersed flying swords were not easy to deal with. Let alone though Wang Lu was unable to protect four people at once, protecting just Liu Li with his Non-Phase Sword Qi was no trouble at all for him.
After being entangled for a while, Wang Lu and Liu Li’s advantage in protracted fight began to manifest. On the Ten Thousand Arts Sect side, their most important defender Lu Qiancai had exhausted all of his talismans, thus unable to protect his teammates from the Brilliant Sword Heart attack. Thereupon, one by one, these fellow disciples were eliminated by Liu Li. Finally, Zhan Ziye attempted to repeat his previous trick, using the Annihilation Thunder to perish together. However, Wang Lu passionately rushed over and tightly embraced him, stuffing all the Annihilation Thunder power back at him, which nearly collapsed Zhan Ziye’s Jade Mansion and primordial spirit.
Both one-on-one fight, as well as group fight, resulted in defeat. Ten Thousand Arts Sect had nothing to say anymore. Their several disciples decided to endure the humiliation by going back to their Sect to practice in seclusion, steeling themselves to the hardships of training so that one day they could avenge their grievances.
Before leaving, however, Spirit Sword Sect organized its disciples to send their guests off at the Four Directions Peak. There, the two sides exchanged sincere words to each other; it was quite a touching scene.
The girl tilted her head and said with a puzzled face, "But one year later, you will still lose out to me."
Standing on the side, Wang Lu, who came along to send off the visitor, could not help but sigh; he really felt pitiful at this bunch of useless otakus of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect
"Senior Sister Liu Li, that grandson wants to invite you to eat barbecue next time."
Zhan Ziye suddenly felt two diametrically opposite feelings clash inside and stir his heart. One was the kind of "the happiness that comes from the touch of the gentle and delicate hands", and another one as "It seems like in my entire life, I will not have a chance". Soon, that childlike innocence was broken into pieces of debris, and he suffered a blow as serious as the strike from the Brilliant Sword Heart.
In addition, Hai Yunfan was also filled with emotion. "Brother Wang, you have given me a lesson."
"Little Hai, when did I ever give you one? Don’t talk nonsense."
"... Hehe." Hai Yunfan laughed at himself. "It’s true. Since five years ago when I left the Spirit Sword Sect, I have been thinking. If I didn’t enter the Ten Thousand Arts Sect and instead became a fellow disciple as Brother Wang, what kind of scene would that be?"
Wang Lu frowned and took a half-step back. "Little Hai, seriously, you are now creeping me out."
Hai Yunfan decided to ignore Wang Lu and continue his monologue, "This matter has been tangling me for a long time, but now I instead can finally relax. Compared to being disciples of the same sect, becoming your opponent is indeed more interesting... of course, becoming an enemy is out of the question."
Opponent and enemy were indeed two very distinct concepts.
"Next time, I will try not to lose to you." Hai Yunfan said and shook his head. "Of course, coming from a defeated opponent, people would laugh at it. However, I still have to say my declaration. Brother Wang, I look forward to our next meeting."
Wang Lu looked at Little Hai. "Okay."
"Ah, I almost forgot. I brought a gift for you." Hai Yunfan handed Wang Lu a piece of sincere paper. "It may be useful for you."
Wang Lu took it and found that it was a royal seal of the Grand Cloud Empire; he could not help but smile.
Little Hai was indeed little Hai. When it was time to become intimate, he became especially intimate. With the royal seal of the Grand Cloud Empire, the inter-country business of the Wisdom Sect would move one step further. Currently, Wang Lu didn’t need additional resources; the spirit stones was particularly abundant. However, this royal seal was not something that could easily be bought by money.
After sending off the Ten Thousand Arts Sect people, Spirit Sword Sect once again became deserted. In this short of half a month, they really had experienced a lot of things. When the Cloud Wave Boat gradually disappeared into the distance, swallowed by the brilliance of the sun light, many people felt truly exhausted.
However, no matter how exhausted they were, there were still works that needed to be done.
For example, the settlement of a certain crazy gambler. In dueling against Liu Li, Wang Lu had bet nearly one hundred million on himself. It was the biggest single stake in the history of gambling in the Nine Regions in decades. In the end, he ultimately won more than one hundred million spirit stones, which could be rated as an unbeatable record. For such a huge amount of money, even an institution as big as the Mysterious Sky Mansion couldn’t come up with such a cash in a short amount of time. In the end, the regional leader of the Mysterious Sky Mansion in the Blue River Region personally delivered over a hundred first rate Mysterious Sky Crystals, which caused countless of disciples’ eyes to spring wide in shock.
In accordance with Wang Lu’s prior agreement, he gave fifty pieces of them to his Master. The happy woman announced on the spot her intent to marry off herself to that regional leader, and the marriage would be held right then. This made the regional leader of the Mysterious Sky Mansion feel extremely awkward. Fortunately, the Sect Leader and Disciplinary Elder promptly curbed back the woman’s ambition with their sword light, forcing her to leave the matter at that.
Suddenly becoming rich from being poor, the Fifth Elder was completely without the calm and composure of an Immortal Cultivator. She held the fifty pieces of first rate Mysterious Sky Mansion Crystal and cheerfully descended the mountain on her flying sword, saying that she wanted to carefully enjoy life. After more than ten days, the woman in white went back on the mountain, surprisingly content to live a humble but virtuous life.
Toward this development, Wang Lu was naturally curious. Becoming disillusioned with the mortal world in just ten days, was this woman’s self-cultivation that amazing? However, when he asked, the answer was like a thunder strike.
"Ran out of money so had to come back."
Ran out of money!?
Wang Lu simply ‘prostrated himself in admiration’; she had actually squandered tens of millions of spirit stones in just ten days!?
Actually, by this time, Wang Lu also had no money in his hand. When his Master freely squandered the money down the mountain for several days, he had transferred all of his winning money back to Wisdom Sect to accelerate its development. During the sect’s rapid growth at this time, it was in a state of financial hunger; no matter how much money was fed into it, it would immediately be digested. Wang Lu firmly believed that when Wisdom Sect finally bloomed and bore fruit, he would harvest his investment this time by several folds.
In any case, the story of the pair of Master and disciple of the Non-Phase Peak who squandered their over a hundred million spirit stones in just ten days had become a glorious legend on the Spirit Sword Mountain.
After that, it was the matter of sect’s lead representative.
In order to inspire progress from the disciples, the Spirit Sword Sect’s Heavenly Sword Hall, under the advice from Wang Lu, setup the system of lead representative. In which, the champion of the single fight on the just-now-ended sect’s competition would be awarded ten years’ time of lead representative authority.
Although there was a great controversy on the final battle, Wang Lu’s victory was beyond doubt. Therefore, after a quick deliberation, Sect Leader Daoist Master Feng Yin acted on behalf of the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders to grant Wang Lu the title of lead representative.
The lead representative inauguration ceremony was held quietly on the Stellar Peak, outside the Sect Leader’s bamboo hut, which was attended by just a few people. Initially, the Spirit Sword Sect wanted to summon all the disciples to the Four Directions Peak to announce the name of the lead representative, in order to inspire their morale. However, who told Wang Lu to be so one of a kind? The initial grand ceremony had to be scrapped.
For Wang Lu, the special authority of the lead representative was far more meaningful than the grand ceremony. Moreover, he never cared what other people think of him. After receiving the gold medal as the symbol of the lead representative from Daoist Master Feng Yin, Wang Lu was ready to descend from there.
However, he heard Daoist Master Feng Yin laugh and say, "Hehe, don’t you want to accompany this new Master of yours for a chat?"
The sect’s lead representative was only under the control of the Sect Leader; theoretically, the relationship was equivalent to that of Master and disciple. Therefore, when Daoist Master Feng Yin voiced out his request, Wang Lu had to stop his footsteps; he turned over and smiled. "By all means."
The old man and Wang Lu sat side by side outside the bamboo hut. After not saying anything for a long time, the old man slowly said, "Since you entered the Spirit Sword Sect, it has been more than five years, but I still remembered clearly your journey on the Immortal Gathering and the obstacles that you came into. At that time, we almost made a big mistake by shutting you out. It still gives me a scare every time I remembered it."
Wang Lu chuckled. "It can’t be that serious right? Spirit Sword Sect is full of talented people. Senior Sister Liu Li and that Senior Sister Zhu Shiyao whom I never met in these more than five years. In any other sect, having one of them is more than enough for them. Actually, it’s not that big of a deal for the sect if I suddenly vanish." Wang Lu earnestly said, "On the contrary, if I hadn’t cultivated here, I wouldn’t have gotten this achievement today."
Daoist Master Feng Yin revealed an incomparably gratified look. "That’s really not easy for you to think like that. However, do not belittle yourself. Although Liu Li and Zhu Shiyao are first rate geniuses in the Nine Regions, the future of Spirit Sword Sect would ultimately land on you."
Wang Lu was silent for a while before saying, "Sect Leader, could it be the Spirit Sword Sect recently suffered an investment failure, and thus needed to be injected with an emergency capital?"
Feng Yin admonished him, "You, this kid, no matter how down and under the Spirit Sword Sect is, it does not covet your stash of money. Besides, do you really think a measly hundred first rate Mysterious Sky Mansion crystals can support the operation of a sect in the five unique?"
Wang Lu said, "That was just a joke. Please continue."
Feng Yin said, "In this Nine Regions, every several hundred or over a thousand years, a generation of heroes would come forth in large numbers; or the surging of the brilliant era. Right now, with the growth of your generation of young people, the glorious and turbulent era is not far away. Liu Li and Zhu Shiyao are indeed top level cultivators, but their flaws are also very serious, so they can’t afford to hold up the Spirit Sword Sect high in the sky. Therefore... today I awarded you the honor of lead representative, in the hopes that you will be worthy of this title and in the future become a veritable Spirit Sword Sect’s lead representative."
Wang Lu didn’t say anything for a while, and then he smiled to the Sect Leader. "Rest assured, I really like this mountain, like this sect and like its people."
Feng Yin suddenly asked, "Then what about your Master?"
This time, it was the Sect Leader who went into silence. Long after, the old man sighed with emotion.
"Throughout her life, she seems unrestrained, but actually, she is in fact lonely. I hope you... just do your best."

"value": "Chapter 97 – Hong Kong Businessman (Part 2)\n“Hang the banner higher. Why is that colored flag crooked? There is a leaf at that corner. Hurry and go sweep it! The big boss from Hong Kong is arriving soon. He is a foreign guest, and every one must welcome him properly. This does not only concern our company’s image and also the City government and even our Provincial Government. You all must take note of this! Factory…… no, it should be General Manager, what do you think of this arrangement?”\nLi Mingde looked around and nodded: “It’s fine. What about the arrangements at the canteen?”\n“It’s settled. We have prepared a lot of wild games, and it will be something that this big boss from Hong Kong have never eaten!”\n“Good. If we succeed, you will get some credit!” Honk, honk ~~~\nA black sedan car appeared at the entrance of the factory. The appearance of this car was majestic. There was a small flying goddess standing upright at the front of the vehicle. Many felt that this car was luxurious but had not seen the logo before. It was not Mercedes Benz or BMW.\nThe sedan car stopped, and the driver alighted to open the rear passenger door.\nA man wearing a black coat, bowler hat, a white scarf and polished leather shoes alighted from the car.\n“Which one is Li Mingde, Manager Li?”\nLi Mingde hurriedly steps forward and used both his hands to shook Fu Guangzheng’s hand: “I am Li Mingde from Bing City Machinery Corporation Ltd. We are here to welcome Mr. Fu to invest in our factory.”\n“It's visiting. I have not decided to invest yet.” Fu Guangzheng said. His Cantonese Mandarin was making Li Mingde uncomfortable, but Li Mingde had no choice.\nThat car was a second-hand Rolls Royce which Feng Yu had kept for himself. Feng Yu had lent Fu Guangzheng his Rolls Royce, but the driver was Fu Guangzheng’s man. The driver was from the South but knew Mandarin. He also doubles as Fu Guangzheng’s translator.\nFeng Yu had told Fu Guangzheng that for this investment, he needs to position himself highly. He must not show any eagerness. The more he showed that he was not anxious about investing in the company, the better the conditions he would get.\nAs for his dressing, it was still okay if he was in the South. But this was the Northeast, and it was November. The temperature was lower than -10 degrees Celsius. The moment he stepped out of the car, he shuddered. He should have worn a few more pieces of clothing inside. He secretly swore that he will not come to Bing City in the winter. It’s too cold!\n“It’s the same. After your visit, you will still be investing in our company. Mr. Fu, this way. I will bring you around our factory. We have the most advanced machinery from the Soviet Union, the most advanced technologies, and experts to guide us. We are the best in the country.” Li Mingde enthusiastically said.\nFu Guangzheng strolled with his head held high. He looks like he was just casually looking around but in fact, he was observing the factory carefully.\nThis was different from what he imagined. The factory was huge and lean. But when he saw the banners and colored flags, he knew that the place was cleaned up to welcome him.\nFu Guangzheng was not interested in these welcoming ceremonies. He will invest in this factory if what Feng Yu said about the machines and technologies from the Soviet Union were real.\n“Mr. Fu, look. This production line was just set up and calibrated. Everything in this workshop is new. This is the digital CNC machine. It can produce engine parts and sophisticated bearings. Those workers are working on it. There is little noise, efficient and definitely the best in China!”\nFu Guangzheng nodded. It was not as noisy as he expected and the workshops were spacious. The factory covers a large area. There were no factories this scale in Hong Kong. But Hong Kong was not an industrial city in the first place.\nFu Guangzheng saw a foreigner instructing some workers. This is the expert in mechanical engineering Feng Yu told him about?\nFu Guangzheng was not interested in these. He was only concern if there were advanced machines and technologies from the Soviet Union. The purpose of his visit here was completed, but he still got to pretend. He must at least tour the factory for an hour to show that he was seriously considering investing in this company. However, he also can’t stay there for long as it will show that he was very interested.\nAlso, the air at the factory was terrible. Fu Guangzheng used a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose while he was walking around. He did not even touch the finished products shown to him by Li Mingde. Those products were oily, and he does not want to touch those with his bare hands.\nFu Guangzheng had some OCD, and he had to bathe at least twice a day and washes his hands seven to eight times. If his hands were stained with oil, it would hard to wash off. Even if the stains were washed off, the smell would still be there, and he would not be able to eat or sleep.\nBut now, Fu Guangzheng still cannot leave yet.\nLi Mingde was getting more excited as he speaks. He saw this big boss from Hong Kong nodding his head and thought that he was satisfied with the factory.\nIt was the office director who noticed Fu Guangzheng’s discomfort, and he whispered to Li Mingde: “General Manager, the Hong Kong boss kept covering his nose with his handkerchief. Could it be he dislike the smell in the factory? Why not invite him to the office to look at our past achievements and honor?”\nLi Mingde looked at Fu Guangzheng and saw that it was as what the office director said. Visiting the achievement and honor office? This idea is not bad. This company was Bing City’s Machinery Factory previously and had gotten numerous awards. These awards should attract this Hong Kong businessman to invest.\n“Mr. Fu, so you still want to tour the workshops? Why not go to the office to look at our historical achievements?”\nFu Guangzheng nodded: “Okay, I also want to look at those.”\nFu Guangzheng kept his handkerchief when they enter the office building.\nLi Mingde started his introduction and explanations about the factory’s history and achievements. These awards were issued by the City Government and those awards were issued by the Provincial Government.\nLi Mingde was feeling very proud when he showed those past achievements. Although most of these awards were issued during his predecessor time, he said it as if it was because of him, the factory got these awards.\nAfter half an hour, Li Mingde still had not finished, and Fu Guangzheng was getting impatient. He interrupted Li Mingde: “GM Li, can I look at the financial report?”\nLi Mingde’s heart skipped a beat. Although the company’s finances were not in a mess, it was not transparent. During the restructuring, the value of the fixed assets was inflated, and even Feng Yu could point those out. This Hong Kong businessman might also notice it.\n“Our company’s finances are in order, and we have surplus funds. The fixed assets are only the land, factory, machines and technologies. There is no need to look at these.”\n“Really? The value of these fixed assets should be quite high. If I am investing, then will I have some rights to speak on the matters involving finances?” Fu Guangzheng asked casually.\n“Of course. We are a shareholding company, and all shareholders have the right to monitor the finances. One of our shareholders even stations someone here to monitor these matters!” Li Mingde said.\nShit. Why is this fellow from Hong Kong keep talking about the finance? But no matter what, he must invest in the company. If the money is still not returned to the City Government, then he will be in the bad books of the City Government leaders."

第九十七章
角落那里还有一片树叶呢，赶紧去打扫干净！ 香江大老板马上就来了，这可是外宾，大家一定要做好接待，这不止关系到咱们公司的形象，还关系到市里，乃至省里的形象，一定要重视再重视！ 厂……不是，总经理，您看这么布置行吗？”
李明德打量了一下，用力点点头：“可以，食堂安排好了吗？”
“安排好了，弄到了不少野味儿，保证香江大老板也没吃过！”
“好，这次成功了，你这个办公室主任功不可没！”
一辆黑色的轿车出现在工厂门口，轿车外观大气磅礴，一个飞天神女的标志昂立在车头，很多人都觉得这车看着就豪华，但标志好像没见过，不是奔驰，不是宝马，更不是金鹿什么的。
轿车停下，司机下车，拉开后门，一手挡在车顶。
一位身穿黑色风衣，头戴圆顶礼帽，围着白色围脖，脚下皮鞋锃亮，打扮的跟许文强似的人从车里迈步出来。
“哪位系李明德李总？”
李明德快步上前，双手握住对方的右手：“我就是冰城机械公司的李明德，欢迎香江的付老板来投资。”
付光正强调道。 他张嘴就是一口蹩脚的普通话，听得李明德也很难受，但还不得不陪着笑脸。
这车就是一辆二手的劳斯劳斯，是冯宇自留的一辆，暂时借给他用用。 司机是付光正自己带来的，从南粤请的内地老司机，还懂普通话，可以帮他做一些翻译。
冯宇跟他说，这次投资，姿态做的越高，效果就越好。 千万不要露出一副着急投资的样子，越是不着急，越是不经意，投资的阻力就越小，条件就越宽。
就说今天他这一身打扮，放在南边绝对没问题，可这是东北啊，还是十一月底，早已经零下十几度，刚才他从车里出来的一瞬间就打了个寒颤，早知道里面就再多穿一层了。 他也暗暗发誓，以后冬天绝对不能再来冰城，这温度太考验人了！
“一样，都一样，考察完了还不是投资么。 付老板里面请，我带你参观一下我们的工厂，苏联最先进的生产设备，最先进的技术，还有专家指导，这在国内可是最顶尖的。” 李明德热情的说道。
付光正微微颔首，慢悠悠的踱着方步往里走，似乎不经意的随便看看，但其实却是在认真打量，这个厂子到底什么样。
他看到厂子大门上方悬挂的条幅，还有道路两旁插满了彩旗，知道这是对方特意打扫过，为了欢迎他。
对这些虚头巴脑的形式，付光正不太感兴趣，只要冯宇没骗他，这工厂真有苏联的先进设备跟技术，那么他必然会投资。
“付老板，看，这就是刚刚组装调试好的设备，整个车间的设备都是，这是数控机床，能生产发动机和一些先进的轴承。 那边就是工人在生产呢，噪音小，效率高，国内绝对领先！”
付光正点了点头，噪音是比他想象的小了很多。 而且工厂的车间什么的都很宽敞，厂子占地面积也特别大。 香江可没有这么大的工厂，本身就不是工业城市。
付光正还看到一个苏联的老外对工人进行指导，这就是冯宇说的苏联机械专家？
付光正对这些不感兴趣，他知道有先进的设备跟技术就行了，考察其实已经完事儿。 但姿态还要做足，至少今天下午他要参观一个小时以上，才能体现出他对此次考察的重视。 可时间又不能太长，显得他急切投资似的。
而且工厂里的气味并不太好，付光正一直用一块手帕捂住口鼻。 至于李明德随手递过来的成品，他则一下也没用手碰。
付光正有轻微的洁癖，每天至少要洗两次澡，而手则要洗七八次。 手上沾油会很难洗掉，就算洗了，气味儿也未必洗的干净，付光正要是沾上了，会吃不下饭，睡不着觉的。
偏偏现在还不能走，这让付光正非常苦恼。
李明德越说越兴奋，看着香江大老板不停的点头，这是对工厂非常满意啊，他介绍的愈发欢快了。
还是办公室主任有眼色，在李明德耳边小声提醒道：“总经理，香江大老板一直用手帕捂着口鼻呢，是不是受不了车间的气味儿？ 要不请他到办公室坐一会儿，参观一下咱们的荣誉室？”
李明德一看，还真是这样。 参观荣誉室，这个主意不错，公司的前身机械厂，大大小小拿过几十个荣誉，这些也都能增加香江大老板的投资兴趣吧？
不如到我们办公区坐坐，那边还有一些我们公司工厂的历史荣誉。”
付光正赶紧点头：“正好我也想去看看。”
上了办公楼，付光正将手帕塞进口袋，总算是能长出一口气。
李明德又开始滔滔不绝的介绍公司前身机械厂获得的各种荣誉，有哪些是市里发的，有哪些是省里发的，还有机械部等颁发的国家级奖励。
说这些的时候，李明德一脸的自豪，虽然很多荣誉都不是在他任上获得的，但看他的样子，好像没有他就没有这些荣誉似的。
一直聊了半个多小时，还没有介绍完。 付光正终于不耐烦了，打断李明德的话：“李总，我能不能看一下公司的资产财务状况？”
李明德心里咯噔一下，还是来了，公司的财务虽然不混乱，但也绝对不算太透明，尤其这次改制的时候，固定资产评定虚高，这些冯宇能看出来，这个香江来的大老板说不定也能看出来。
“我们公司财务非常好，账面有充足的资金。 固定资产就是工厂的场地、厂房、设备和技术，这些不需要再看了吧？”
“系这样子啊，这些固定资产折价不低吧？ 我如果投资，财务上面应该也有一点话语权吧？” 付光正不经意的说道。
“肯定有，股份制公司嘛，任何股东都可以查看财务的工作，我们另外一位股东，就派驻了一名财务代表，付老板投资后，也可以派驻一位！” 李明德咬着牙说道。
擦，这个香江来的家伙，怎么也咬住财务不放？ 不过这次必须让他投资，市里那笔钱再不还，他在领导心目中的地位可就要动摇了！

Chapter 97 – Hong Kong Businessman (Part 2)
“Hang the banner higher. Why is that colored flag crooked? There is a leaf at that corner. Hurry and go sweep it! The big boss from Hong Kong is arriving soon. He is a foreign guest, and every one must welcome him properly. This does not only concern our company’s image and also the City government and even our Provincial Government. You all must take note of this! Factory…… no, it should be General Manager, what do you think of this arrangement?”
Li Mingde looked around and nodded: “It’s fine. What about the arrangements at the canteen?”
“It’s settled. We have prepared a lot of wild games, and it will be something that this big boss from Hong Kong have never eaten!”
“Good. If we succeed, you will get some credit!” Honk, honk ~~~
A black sedan car appeared at the entrance of the factory. The appearance of this car was majestic. There was a small flying goddess standing upright at the front of the vehicle. Many felt that this car was luxurious but had not seen the logo before. It was not Mercedes Benz or BMW.
The sedan car stopped, and the driver alighted to open the rear passenger door.
A man wearing a black coat, bowler hat, a white scarf and polished leather shoes alighted from the car.
“Which one is Li Mingde, Manager Li?”
Li Mingde hurriedly steps forward and used both his hands to shook Fu Guangzheng’s hand: “I am Li Mingde from Bing City Machinery Corporation Ltd. We are here to welcome Mr. Fu to invest in our factory.”
“It's visiting. I have not decided to invest yet.” Fu Guangzheng said. His Cantonese Mandarin was making Li Mingde uncomfortable, but Li Mingde had no choice.
That car was a second-hand Rolls Royce which Feng Yu had kept for himself. Feng Yu had lent Fu Guangzheng his Rolls Royce, but the driver was Fu Guangzheng’s man. The driver was from the South but knew Mandarin. He also doubles as Fu Guangzheng’s translator.
Feng Yu had told Fu Guangzheng that for this investment, he needs to position himself highly. He must not show any eagerness. The more he showed that he was not anxious about investing in the company, the better the conditions he would get.
As for his dressing, it was still okay if he was in the South. But this was the Northeast, and it was November. The temperature was lower than -10 degrees Celsius. The moment he stepped out of the car, he shuddered. He should have worn a few more pieces of clothing inside. He secretly swore that he will not come to Bing City in the winter. It’s too cold!
“It’s the same. After your visit, you will still be investing in our company. Mr. Fu, this way. I will bring you around our factory. We have the most advanced machinery from the Soviet Union, the most advanced technologies, and experts to guide us. We are the best in the country.” Li Mingde enthusiastically said.
Fu Guangzheng strolled with his head held high. He looks like he was just casually looking around but in fact, he was observing the factory carefully.
This was different from what he imagined. The factory was huge and lean. But when he saw the banners and colored flags, he knew that the place was cleaned up to welcome him.
Fu Guangzheng was not interested in these welcoming ceremonies. He will invest in this factory if what Feng Yu said about the machines and technologies from the Soviet Union were real.
“Mr. Fu, look. This production line was just set up and calibrated. Everything in this workshop is new. This is the digital CNC machine. It can produce engine parts and sophisticated bearings. Those workers are working on it. There is little noise, efficient and definitely the best in China!”
Fu Guangzheng nodded. It was not as noisy as he expected and the workshops were spacious. The factory covers a large area. There were no factories this scale in Hong Kong. But Hong Kong was not an industrial city in the first place.
Fu Guangzheng saw a foreigner instructing some workers. This is the expert in mechanical engineering Feng Yu told him about?
Fu Guangzheng was not interested in these. He was only concern if there were advanced machines and technologies from the Soviet Union. The purpose of his visit here was completed, but he still got to pretend. He must at least tour the factory for an hour to show that he was seriously considering investing in this company. However, he also can’t stay there for long as it will show that he was very interested.
Also, the air at the factory was terrible. Fu Guangzheng used a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose while he was walking around. He did not even touch the finished products shown to him by Li Mingde. Those products were oily, and he does not want to touch those with his bare hands.
Fu Guangzheng had some OCD, and he had to bathe at least twice a day and washes his hands seven to eight times. If his hands were stained with oil, it would hard to wash off. Even if the stains were washed off, the smell would still be there, and he would not be able to eat or sleep.
But now, Fu Guangzheng still cannot leave yet.
Li Mingde was getting more excited as he speaks. He saw this big boss from Hong Kong nodding his head and thought that he was satisfied with the factory.
It was the office director who noticed Fu Guangzheng’s discomfort, and he whispered to Li Mingde: “General Manager, the Hong Kong boss kept covering his nose with his handkerchief. Could it be he dislike the smell in the factory? Why not invite him to the office to look at our past achievements and honor?”
Li Mingde looked at Fu Guangzheng and saw that it was as what the office director said. Visiting the achievement and honor office? This idea is not bad. This company was Bing City’s Machinery Factory previously and had gotten numerous awards. These awards should attract this Hong Kong businessman to invest.
“Mr. Fu, so you still want to tour the workshops? Why not go to the office to look at our historical achievements?”
Fu Guangzheng nodded: “Okay, I also want to look at those.”
Fu Guangzheng kept his handkerchief when they enter the office building.
Li Mingde started his introduction and explanations about the factory’s history and achievements. These awards were issued by the City Government and those awards were issued by the Provincial Government.
Li Mingde was feeling very proud when he showed those past achievements. Although most of these awards were issued during his predecessor time, he said it as if it was because of him, the factory got these awards.
After half an hour, Li Mingde still had not finished, and Fu Guangzheng was getting impatient. He interrupted Li Mingde: “GM Li, can I look at the financial report?”
Li Mingde’s heart skipped a beat. Although the company’s finances were not in a mess, it was not transparent. During the restructuring, the value of the fixed assets was inflated, and even Feng Yu could point those out. This Hong Kong businessman might also notice it.
“Our company’s finances are in order, and we have surplus funds. The fixed assets are only the land, factory, machines and technologies. There is no need to look at these.”
“Really? The value of these fixed assets should be quite high. If I am investing, then will I have some rights to speak on the matters involving finances?” Fu Guangzheng asked casually.
“Of course. We are a shareholding company, and all shareholders have the right to monitor the finances. One of our shareholders even stations someone here to monitor these matters!” Li Mingde said.
Shit. Why is this fellow from Hong Kong keep talking about the finance? But no matter what, he must invest in the company. If the money is still not returned to the City Government, then he will be in the bad books of the City Government leaders.

"value": "Chapter 1378 - Azure Cloud Mansion\nIn the next instance, an old man in gray who was holding a cane appeared in front of the contingent of three hundred over people.\n“Old man, who are you?” Han Xue Nai, who was standing on the back of the wild beast, had now snapped back to reality and was glaring angrily at him. “Why are you blocking our way?”\n“Little girl, how rude of you… Haven’t the adults in your house taught you some manners?” The old man’s eyes that were gleaming brilliantly with dark green flames stared fixedly at Han Xue Nai.\n“Ah!” Right at this moment, Han Xue Nai finally saw the devilish gleam in his eyes. At once, she was struck with fear until the color drained from her face. Even her body could not help but start to tremble right away.\nOne could easily imagine just how dreadful this old man was to the point that he could make her, who was nicknamed the Little Devil, to be struck with fear like that.\n“Xue Nai, watch your manners!” Right at that moment, the peculiarly dressed middle-aged man who traveled in front with Han Xue Nai flew to the front and came to a stop in front of the gray-clad old man before bowing slightly.\nTaking a deep breath, the middle-aged man called out unhurriedly, “Senior.” His tone was filled with respect.\n“You aren’t bad… There are originally not many remarkable Beastriders in Dao Martial Saint Land and on top of that, it’s even rarer to see a Beastrider who could tame a wild beast such as the Heavenhell Bear.” The old man looked at the younger man and nodded before quickly looking at the Heavenhell Bear again.\nBeing scrutinized by the old man, the Heavenhell Bear was struck with fear that it started to tremble too, so much so that it almost caused Han Xue Nai to fall off. Fortunately, the peculiarly dressed man snarled out in time and made the Heavenhell Bear regain its calmness once again.\nLooking at the middle-aged man again, the old man said nonchalantly, “Tell me, what’s your name? Perhaps, I’ve heard of you before.”\n“Senior, I’m called Mu Yi,” replied the middle-aged man respectfully.\n“Mu Yi? I think I’ve heard of you before… Are you that genius Beastrider from the Greenwave Han Mansion?” After pondering for a moment, the dark green flames in the old man’s eyes flared as he asked.\n“You flatter me by calling me a genius Beastrider. However, I, Mu Yi, am indeed from the Greenwave Han Mansion,” Mu Yi responded humbly.\n“There’s no need to be humble. The reason I blocked your way is to just ask one question. What is the reason for you, the Greenwave Han Mansion, to head to the south with such fanfare?” The old man in gray asked without beating around the bush.\n“To be honest, Senior, the reason we came here is to help our Miss search for a friend of hers. Her friend has gone missing in the vast ocean and till now, we still haven’t heard from him yet,” Mu Yi replied honestly.\n“Is she the daughter of that Han Mansion Master from the Greenwave Han Mansion? Hmph! She really lacks manners!” The old man looked at Han Xue Nai again and snorted.\nOn top of that, a person who could elicit such respect from her Uncle Mu meant that he must not have been somebody simple.\nFor this reason, she chose to remain silent.\nBoom! Without warning, the old man raised his hand and pointed towards the sky again.\nAt once, the barrier that seemed to connect the heaven and the earth disappeared without a trace as though it had never once appeared.\n“Mu Yi, boy, I’ll trust you this time… If, in the future, I find out that you’ve actually deceived me, I’ll make a visit to the Greenwave Han Mansion.” With that, his figure began to turn blurry.\n“Senior, may I ask who you are?” Seeing the gray-clad man about to leave, Mu Yi quickly asked.\n“T-The Azure Cloud M-Mansion?!” Upon hearing the reply, Mu Yi’s eyes narrowed right away, “He’s from the Azure Cloud Mansion? D-Don’t tell me that that was actually h-him? My goodness! What is he doing here?!”\nMu Yi’s heartbeat sped up and was so fast that he felt like passing out. It was only after a long time that he was finally able to calm down again.\n“No wonder he could perform such a technique that could cover the entire sky with just a raise of his hand… So, he’s actually a powerhouse from the Azure Cloud Mansion!” Gasping, Mu Yi was still trying to catch his breath.\nThis time, Han Xue Nai realized that the old man had left and she finally dared to raise her head again. However, after she saw how her uncle was beyond himself, she could not help but ask, “Uncle Mu, what did the old man say to you?”\nShe knew that that old man must have said something to him.\nOtherwise, given his temperament, he would have never lost his cool like that.\n“Xue Nai, you have to remember the next time if you happen to encounter him again, you must respect him. Even if your dad sees him, your dad would have to call him ‘Senior’ politely too,” Mu Yi told her. The moment he recalled her reckless behavior just now, cold sweat broke out on his skin right away.\n“My dad needs to call him ‘Senior’ too?” Han Xue Nai frowned. “Uncle Mu, just tell me… Who is he actually? He must have told you, didn’t he?”\nUpon hearing her question, Mu Yi smiled wryly.\nThis girl was too smart.\n“Xue Nai, I can tell you, but you must first promise me that if you happen to come across him again, you must be polite,” Mu Yi added.\n“I don’t want to meet him again!” Han Xue Nai snorted. “That old man is so ugly! My Brother Ling Tian is much better looking!”\nThe moment she mentioned the word “Brother Ling Tian”, she could not help but sigh again.\nHowever, soon, she broke out of her reverie as she looked at Mu Yi. “Uncle Mu, hurry up and tell me who exactly is that old man?”\n“Xue Nai, if you don’t promise me, I won’t tell you,” Mu Yi shook his head and snapped a little.\nAt once, the bear underneath Han Xue Nai’s feet flew out in an alarming manner as though it had transformed into a gigantic cannonball.\n“Let’s go!” At the same time, Mu Yi issued his order to the 300-odd powerhouses and continued to make their journey.\n“Uncle Mu, I’ll promise you. Hurry up and tell me now. That old man… No, that Senior, I mean. Who exactly is he?” Han Xue Nai turned around to look questioningly at Mu Yi who had chased up with her. Right then, she had completely given in to him.\n“I have no idea either… However, there seems to be something that he cares about in the south. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked us what we were doing. This time, no matter whether we can find your Brother Ling Tian or not, we must go back!” Mu Yi replied.\n“We’ll definitely find Brother Ling Tian!” Han Xue Nai answered with determination.\nJust as Han Xue Nai led the group of powerhouses from the Greenwave Han Mansion to search the boundless ocean on an inch-by-inch search, the person that they were looking for was quietly staying in a city by the sea in Dao Martial Saint Land.\nAt the Latent Dragon Camp in the City Governor’s Estate in Mound Hill City.\nIn wooden house Number 6, a small pagoda that had transformed to become the size of a dust speck was sitting modestly by the corner of a bed. Nobody would expect that such a small pagoda would actually have a world of its own inside.\nOn the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.\nA purple-clad young man was sitting cross-legged in the air. Streams of clearly distinguishable Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy were merging into his body along with the air and became part of his body.\nThe Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy stored in the Fifth-Grade Saint Stone in his hand stretched out almost in a solid manner and entered his body too.\nTime continued to pass by quietly.\nAfter an indefinite amount of time, the entire physique of the young man sitting cross-legged on the bed started to rotate slowly. Gushes of faint True Energy halo lit up around his body.\n“It’s finally full now. This Qi Sea that’s only as big as a pigeon egg is actually like a bottomless pit… By the time I make a breakthrough to the Mortal Shedding Stage Intermediate Stage, what should I do with the Qi Sea that would be as big as the size of a chicken’s egg then?”\nSomehow, Duan Ling Tian had regained his consciousness and was no longer repeating his cultivation steps again and again numbly.\nRight at that moment, the Qi Sea between his brows that was as large as a pigeon egg had finally been filled. On top of that, even the fifteen Saint Veins in his body had also been filled with True Energy as well.\n“Right now, it’s time for me to start opening new Saint Veins… As long as I can open the Saint Veins, the Qi Sea will then be complete,” Duan Ling Tian thought to himself and he began to mobilize the True Energy in the fifteen Saint Veins.\nOne must admit that opening the Saint Veins was a tedious process.\nEven though Duan Ling Tian had experienced it once before, he still could not get used to it yet. Now, he was going through it again for the second time and all he felt was agony.\n“Ahhhh! It’s too painful!” Opening Saint Veins was a good thing but the process of opening the Saint Veins was heart-rending. “I wonder which one would actually be more painful: this or giving birth?”\nDuan Ling Tian had no idea why he would suddenly have this kind of thought.\nHowever, the moment this thought rose up in his mind, he quickly suppressed it. “I forgot… In this world when the woman gives birth, as long as the mother’s cultivation base is high, she can use her strength to reduce the unnecessary pain.”\nJust as Duan Ling Tian was thinking about this, his sixteen Saint Veins were successfully opened.\nOpening a Saint Vein was like switching on a light that guided the group of people in the dark to move forward. Gradually, the second Saint Vein, the third Saint Vein, the fourth… They were opened one by one.\n“Seventeen Saint Veins!” When all of the Saint Veins were fully opened, Duan Ling Tian’s excited body gave a jolt and caused the True Energy to slightly miss the path, sending him into another series of heart-wrenching pain all over and causing him to go silent again.\n“Seventeen Saint Veins! Seventeen!” However, Duan Ling Tian’s heart was still filled with excitement.\nDuring his Mortal Shedding Stage Early Stage, he had opened fifteen Saint Veins in his body.\nIn his Mortal Shedding Stage Intermediate Stage, he had opened seventeen Saint Veins in his body.\nThat was not the most important thing.\n“I’ve opened fifteen Saint Veins in my Mortal Shedding Stage Early Stage and another seventeen in my Intermediate Stage. In the future, I’ll open at least eighteen Saint Veins in my Mastery Stage, nineteen in my Perfection Stage and twenty in my Paramount Stage!”"

1378.第1378章
紧跟着，手持拐杖的灰衣老人，出现在三百多人的队伍之前。
“老头，你是什么人？” 立在蛮熊背上的韩雪奈，这时已经回过神来，怒视眼前的灰衣老人，“为什么拦我们的去路？”
“小丫头片子，好没有礼貌……你们家大人，没教你尊老吗？” 灰衣老人闪烁着幽绿色火焰的眸子，紧紧盯着韩雪奈，沉声问道。
！” 这时，韩雪奈才看到老人一双眸子的邪异，脸色顿时被吓得一片煞白，连身体都忍不住微微颤抖了起来。
能吓到人称‘小魔女’的韩雪奈，老人的形象，究竟有多吓人，可想而知。
“雪奈，不得无礼！” 这时，和韩雪奈一起走在前头的那个身穿奇装异服的中年男子，御空向前，来到了灰衣老人的身前，微微欠身。
中年男子深吸一口气，缓缓开口，语气间充满了尊敬。
“你不错……道武圣地，出色的驭兽师本就不多，能驯服‘天狱蛮熊’这等蛮兽的，更是犹如凤毛麟角。”
灰衣老人看着中年男子点了点头，他的目光，很快落在一旁的天狱蛮熊的身上。 幸好，身穿奇装异服的中年男子适时的低喝一声，让得天狱蛮熊重新安静了下来。
“说吧……你叫什么名字，老头子或许听说过你的名头。” 灰衣老人重新看向中年男子，淡淡问道。
“前辈，晚辈‘木易’。” 中年男子毕恭毕敬的回应道。
似乎听说过……你，是‘碧波韩府’的那个天才驭兽师？” 灰衣老人想了一阵，双眸间幽绿色火焰随之肆虐开来，问道。
“天才驭兽师不敢当。 木易，确实是碧波韩府之人。”
木易谦虚道。 “你也不用谦虚……我拦下你们，主要就是想问一件事。 你们碧波韩府，如此大张旗鼓往南而行，是为了什么事？
灰衣老人直言问道。 “不瞒前辈你说……我们到这里来，是为了替小姐找她的一个朋友。 她的那个朋友，在苍茫海域中失踪，至今杳无音讯。”
灰衣老人再次看向韩雪奈，哼了一声。 可这个老人，却给了韩雪奈一种在鬼门关徘徊的感觉。
而且，能让她木叔叔如此恭敬对待之人，肯定不是简单的人物。
所以，她选择了沉默。
突然，灰衣老人抬手，拐杖一震，再次对着虚空一点。
顿时，那仿佛连接着天地的壁障，消失不见，就好像从来没有出现过一般。
“木易小子，我信你一次……如果以后我发现你骗我，我少不了要上碧波韩府走一趟。” 说完，灰衣老人的身形便开始变得虚幻起来。
“前辈，敢问您是？” 眼看灰衣老人马上就要离开，木易连忙问道。
木易听到灰衣老人的话，瞳孔陡然一缩，“他是青云府的人？ 他……他难道是……那一位？ 天呐！
！” 木易心跳加速，快到极致，良久方才逐渐平复下来。
木易倒吸一口冷气，还在努力让心情平复下来。
“木叔叔，那个老头跟你说了什么吗？” 这时，韩雪奈发现老人走了，也敢抬起头了……不过，在看到木易失态的模样后，她还是问道。
她知道，那个老头肯定跟木叔叔说了什么。
要不然，以木叔叔的心性，绝不会如此。
“雪奈，你记住了……以后要是有机会再见到他，你一定要恭敬一些。 就算是你爹见到他，也要尊呼他一声‘前辈’。”
“我爹都要喊他前辈？” 韩雪奈皱了皱眉，“木叔叔，你就告诉我吧……他到底是什么人？ 他肯定跟你说了，对吧？”
听到韩雪奈的话，木易一阵苦笑。
这丫头，实在是太聪明了。
“雪奈，我可以告诉你……但你要先答应我，以后再遇到他，一定要恭敬。” 木易又道。
“我才不想再遇到他。” 韩雪奈哼道：“那个老头，丑死了……还是我凌天哥哥好看。”
说起‘凌天哥哥’，韩雪奈又叹了口气。
不过，很快她又回过神来，看向木易，“木叔叔，你快告诉我，那个老头到底是什么人？”
“雪奈，你不答应木叔叔的话，木叔叔是不会跟你说的。” 木易摇了摇头，随即低喝一声。
顿时，韩雪奈脚下的蛮熊飞掠而出，犹如化作一颗巨型炮弹，冲势惊人。
“走！” 同时，木易号令三百余强者，继续赶路。
“木叔叔，我答应你就是了。 快跟我说说，那个老头……不！
韩雪奈闻言，秋眸一凝，面露惊容，“天呐……青云府的‘变态’，来这里做什么？” “我也想不通……不过，南边应该有他在乎的东西，要不然也不会问我们的目的。
这一次，不管能不能找到你凌天哥哥，我们都得回去。”
韩雪奈固执道。 他们要找的人，正静静的待在道武圣地的一座海边城市。 这座城市，名为‘丘山城’。
丘山城，城主府，潜龙营。
六号木屋中，一座化作尘埃的小塔，正静静的坐落在床角。 没有人能想到，就是这么小的一座小塔，里面却是别有洞天。
七宝玲珑塔第二层。
一个紫衣青年，正盘腿坐在虚空，一缕缕清晰可见的天地灵气，正顺着空气，尽数融入了他的体内，成为他体内的一份子。
他的手里，五品圣石里面积蓄的天地灵气，近乎实质的延伸而出，也融入了他的体内。
时间悄然流逝。
不知道过了多久，盘腿坐在虚空的紫衣青年，整个人缓慢的转动了起来。 在他的身上，一缕缕淡淡真气光晕，透体而出。
“终于填满了。 这鸽子蛋大小的气海，竟然都像是无底洞……等突破到脱凡境中期以后，鸡蛋大小的气海，岂不是会更加夸张？”
不知何时，段凌天恢复了意识，不再麻木的重复修炼步骤。
此刻，他眉心气海之内鸽子蛋大小的气海，已经被真气填满。 不只如此，便是他体内的十五条圣脉，如今也被真气填满了。
“现在，可以开辟新的圣脉了……只要将圣脉开辟出来，气海也就成了。” 段凌天心意一动，便开始调动十五条圣脉内的真气。
不得不说，开辟圣脉，是一个艰难的过程。
“疼！ 太疼了！”
开辟圣脉，是一件好事，可开辟圣脉的过程，却给人一种撕心裂肺的感觉，“也不知道，比起女人生孩子，哪个更痛苦。”
段凌天也不知道，自己为什么会有这样的想法。
不过，这个想法刚刚升起，却又被他压了下去，“差点忘了……这个世界的女人生孩子，只要做母亲的修为高深，却是能以自身力量，减免不必要的痛苦。”
而在段凌天想着这些的时候，他的第十六条圣脉，也顺利的开启了。
渐渐的，第二条圣脉，第三条圣脉，第四条圣脉……一一开辟了出来。
“十七条圣脉！” 当所有的圣脉开辟完，段凌天激动的身体一颤，让得真气走岔了一些，又是一阵销魂的疼痛传来，才让得他彻底安静了下来。
十七条！” 不过，段凌天的心里，还是充满了激荡。
脱凡境初期，体内开辟出十五条圣脉。
脱凡境中期，体内多开辟出十七条圣脉。
最重要的，并非这一点。
“我脱凡境初期，开辟出十五条圣脉；脱凡境中期，多开辟出十七条圣脉……往后，脱凡境后期，最少能多开辟出十八条圣脉；脱凡境小圆满，最少多开辟十九条；脱凡境大圆满，最少多开辟二十条！”

Chapter 1378 - Azure Cloud Mansion
In the next instance, an old man in gray who was holding a cane appeared in front of the contingent of three hundred over people.
“Old man, who are you?” Han Xue Nai, who was standing on the back of the wild beast, had now snapped back to reality and was glaring angrily at him. “Why are you blocking our way?”
“Little girl, how rude of you… Haven’t the adults in your house taught you some manners?” The old man’s eyes that were gleaming brilliantly with dark green flames stared fixedly at Han Xue Nai.
“Ah!” Right at this moment, Han Xue Nai finally saw the devilish gleam in his eyes. At once, she was struck with fear until the color drained from her face. Even her body could not help but start to tremble right away.
One could easily imagine just how dreadful this old man was to the point that he could make her, who was nicknamed the Little Devil, to be struck with fear like that.
“Xue Nai, watch your manners!” Right at that moment, the peculiarly dressed middle-aged man who traveled in front with Han Xue Nai flew to the front and came to a stop in front of the gray-clad old man before bowing slightly.
Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man called out unhurriedly, “Senior.” His tone was filled with respect.
“You aren’t bad… There are originally not many remarkable Beastriders in Dao Martial Saint Land and on top of that, it’s even rarer to see a Beastrider who could tame a wild beast such as the Heavenhell Bear.” The old man looked at the younger man and nodded before quickly looking at the Heavenhell Bear again.
Being scrutinized by the old man, the Heavenhell Bear was struck with fear that it started to tremble too, so much so that it almost caused Han Xue Nai to fall off. Fortunately, the peculiarly dressed man snarled out in time and made the Heavenhell Bear regain its calmness once again.
Looking at the middle-aged man again, the old man said nonchalantly, “Tell me, what’s your name? Perhaps, I’ve heard of you before.”
“Senior, I’m called Mu Yi,” replied the middle-aged man respectfully.
“Mu Yi? I think I’ve heard of you before… Are you that genius Beastrider from the Greenwave Han Mansion?” After pondering for a moment, the dark green flames in the old man’s eyes flared as he asked.
“You flatter me by calling me a genius Beastrider. However, I, Mu Yi, am indeed from the Greenwave Han Mansion,” Mu Yi responded humbly.
“There’s no need to be humble. The reason I blocked your way is to just ask one question. What is the reason for you, the Greenwave Han Mansion, to head to the south with such fanfare?” The old man in gray asked without beating around the bush.
“To be honest, Senior, the reason we came here is to help our Miss search for a friend of hers. Her friend has gone missing in the vast ocean and till now, we still haven’t heard from him yet,” Mu Yi replied honestly.
“Is she the daughter of that Han Mansion Master from the Greenwave Han Mansion? Hmph! She really lacks manners!” The old man looked at Han Xue Nai again and snorted.
On top of that, a person who could elicit such respect from her Uncle Mu meant that he must not have been somebody simple.
For this reason, she chose to remain silent.
Boom! Without warning, the old man raised his hand and pointed towards the sky again.
At once, the barrier that seemed to connect the heaven and the earth disappeared without a trace as though it had never once appeared.
“Mu Yi, boy, I’ll trust you this time… If, in the future, I find out that you’ve actually deceived me, I’ll make a visit to the Greenwave Han Mansion.” With that, his figure began to turn blurry.
“Senior, may I ask who you are?” Seeing the gray-clad man about to leave, Mu Yi quickly asked.
“T-The Azure Cloud M-Mansion?!” Upon hearing the reply, Mu Yi’s eyes narrowed right away, “He’s from the Azure Cloud Mansion? D-Don’t tell me that that was actually h-him? My goodness! What is he doing here?!”
Mu Yi’s heartbeat sped up and was so fast that he felt like passing out. It was only after a long time that he was finally able to calm down again.
“No wonder he could perform such a technique that could cover the entire sky with just a raise of his hand… So, he’s actually a powerhouse from the Azure Cloud Mansion!” Gasping, Mu Yi was still trying to catch his breath.
This time, Han Xue Nai realized that the old man had left and she finally dared to raise her head again. However, after she saw how her uncle was beyond himself, she could not help but ask, “Uncle Mu, what did the old man say to you?”
She knew that that old man must have said something to him.
Otherwise, given his temperament, he would have never lost his cool like that.
“Xue Nai, you have to remember the next time if you happen to encounter him again, you must respect him. Even if your dad sees him, your dad would have to call him ‘Senior’ politely too,” Mu Yi told her. The moment he recalled her reckless behavior just now, cold sweat broke out on his skin right away.
“My dad needs to call him ‘Senior’ too?” Han Xue Nai frowned. “Uncle Mu, just tell me… Who is he actually? He must have told you, didn’t he?”
Upon hearing her question, Mu Yi smiled wryly.
This girl was too smart.
“Xue Nai, I can tell you, but you must first promise me that if you happen to come across him again, you must be polite,” Mu Yi added.
“I don’t want to meet him again!” Han Xue Nai snorted. “That old man is so ugly! My Brother Ling Tian is much better looking!”
The moment she mentioned the word “Brother Ling Tian”, she could not help but sigh again.
However, soon, she broke out of her reverie as she looked at Mu Yi. “Uncle Mu, hurry up and tell me who exactly is that old man?”
“Xue Nai, if you don’t promise me, I won’t tell you,” Mu Yi shook his head and snapped a little.
At once, the bear underneath Han Xue Nai’s feet flew out in an alarming manner as though it had transformed into a gigantic cannonball.
“Let’s go!” At the same time, Mu Yi issued his order to the 300-odd powerhouses and continued to make their journey.
“Uncle Mu, I’ll promise you. Hurry up and tell me now. That old man… No, that Senior, I mean. Who exactly is he?” Han Xue Nai turned around to look questioningly at Mu Yi who had chased up with her. Right then, she had completely given in to him.
“I have no idea either… However, there seems to be something that he cares about in the south. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked us what we were doing. This time, no matter whether we can find your Brother Ling Tian or not, we must go back!” Mu Yi replied.
“We’ll definitely find Brother Ling Tian!” Han Xue Nai answered with determination.
Just as Han Xue Nai led the group of powerhouses from the Greenwave Han Mansion to search the boundless ocean on an inch-by-inch search, the person that they were looking for was quietly staying in a city by the sea in Dao Martial Saint Land.
At the Latent Dragon Camp in the City Governor’s Estate in Mound Hill City.
In wooden house Number 6, a small pagoda that had transformed to become the size of a dust speck was sitting modestly by the corner of a bed. Nobody would expect that such a small pagoda would actually have a world of its own inside.
On the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
A purple-clad young man was sitting cross-legged in the air. Streams of clearly distinguishable Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy were merging into his body along with the air and became part of his body.
The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy stored in the Fifth-Grade Saint Stone in his hand stretched out almost in a solid manner and entered his body too.
Time continued to pass by quietly.
After an indefinite amount of time, the entire physique of the young man sitting cross-legged on the bed started to rotate slowly. Gushes of faint True Energy halo lit up around his body.
“It’s finally full now. This Qi Sea that’s only as big as a pigeon egg is actually like a bottomless pit… By the time I make a breakthrough to the Mortal Shedding Stage Intermediate Stage, what should I do with the Qi Sea that would be as big as the size of a chicken’s egg then?”
Somehow, Duan Ling Tian had regained his consciousness and was no longer repeating his cultivation steps again and again numbly.
Right at that moment, the Qi Sea between his brows that was as large as a pigeon egg had finally been filled. On top of that, even the fifteen Saint Veins in his body had also been filled with True Energy as well.
“Right now, it’s time for me to start opening new Saint Veins… As long as I can open the Saint Veins, the Qi Sea will then be complete,” Duan Ling Tian thought to himself and he began to mobilize the True Energy in the fifteen Saint Veins.
One must admit that opening the Saint Veins was a tedious process.
Even though Duan Ling Tian had experienced it once before, he still could not get used to it yet. Now, he was going through it again for the second time and all he felt was agony.
“Ahhhh! It’s too painful!” Opening Saint Veins was a good thing but the process of opening the Saint Veins was heart-rending. “I wonder which one would actually be more painful: this or giving birth?”
Duan Ling Tian had no idea why he would suddenly have this kind of thought.
However, the moment this thought rose up in his mind, he quickly suppressed it. “I forgot… In this world when the woman gives birth, as long as the mother’s cultivation base is high, she can use her strength to reduce the unnecessary pain.”
Just as Duan Ling Tian was thinking about this, his sixteen Saint Veins were successfully opened.
Opening a Saint Vein was like switching on a light that guided the group of people in the dark to move forward. Gradually, the second Saint Vein, the third Saint Vein, the fourth… They were opened one by one.
“Seventeen Saint Veins!” When all of the Saint Veins were fully opened, Duan Ling Tian’s excited body gave a jolt and caused the True Energy to slightly miss the path, sending him into another series of heart-wrenching pain all over and causing him to go silent again.
“Seventeen Saint Veins! Seventeen!” However, Duan Ling Tian’s heart was still filled with excitement.
During his Mortal Shedding Stage Early Stage, he had opened fifteen Saint Veins in his body.
In his Mortal Shedding Stage Intermediate Stage, he had opened seventeen Saint Veins in his body.
That was not the most important thing.
“I’ve opened fifteen Saint Veins in my Mortal Shedding Stage Early Stage and another seventeen in my Intermediate Stage. In the future, I’ll open at least eighteen Saint Veins in my Mastery Stage, nineteen in my Perfection Stage and twenty in my Paramount Stage!”

"from": "gpt",
"value": "CoPW 155 – Water Moon stones. Translated by Jon\nShao Xuan ate only a bit of the deer meat, giving the rest to Chacha, who preferred eating raw meat.\nThis deer should be similar to the ones found in the Flaming Horns tribe, as they seem to taste the same.\nAfter seeing the bloody manner in which they ate, Shao Xuan felt that he had learned a lot about the people of this tribe.\nThat night, Chacha flew outside and found a large tree to nest on, while Shao Xuan slept in Chen Jia’s room. Chen Jia slept with his parents instead.\nDuring this season, the people of the Drumming tribe did not lay out any animal hides to sleep on, but rather slept directly on the wooden planks. Through the little cracks and holes in the planks, the pools of water could be seen.\nFrom underneath the house, the sounds of small crocodiles moving about were clearly audible.\nWith the windows open, moonlight entered the house. The wind blew through, bringing with it a wet chill and a muddy smell.\nWith tonight being the first night that Shao Xuan would sleep at a different tribe, an extremely novel feeling overcame him.\nAs he was thinking of today’s matters, as well as how the ancestor’s hides failed to mention the Drumming tribe, Fu Shi entered the room.\nIn his hands, Fu Shi was holding something that illuminated the room, its appearance was similar to a small lantern.\n“What’s this?” Shao Xuan curiously asked.\nAt a closer glance, he discovered that it was actually a crystal about the size of a fist. This was something he had never seen before.\n“This is something that our tribe produces, the Water Moon stone.” Fu Shi answered, handing over the crystal.\nOn the ancestor’s animal hide, Shao Xuan had read about this “Water Moon stone”, only, what was written was so vague that it had just mentioned the name.\nShao Xuan could feel the energy within the crystal as he held it, it was similar to the fire energy. The totem flame inside his mind didn’t react, but the egg shaped object that was wrapped around the flame flashed once, gradually taking shape.\nThe object took on the shape of a brown crocodile, wrapped around a white colored flame. It gave off a feeling of coldness.\nThis was the Drumming tribe’s totem?!\nThe crystal could not absorb energy, and as the crocodile totem faded, Shao Xuan gave the item another glance before handing it back over to Fu Shi saying, “It’s very bright, and quite beautiful.”\nFu Shi stared blankly. This was the first time he had seen such a reaction. There were many people who, after looking at this stone, would either become extremely fond of it, or display their greed. When outsiders entered their tribe, the hosts responsible for them would show their hospitality and bring this stone out. After all, there were many people who didn’t like staying in the dark. By bringing out the biggest stone from their collection, they were able to test and see their guests true nature.\nHowever, Shao Xuan had shown a lukewarm reaction towards it.\nCould it be that he didn’t know how much this stone was worth?\n“Are you not interested in this stone? The stones that our tribe produces are extremely sought after. This large piece could be exchanged for this many things!” Fu Shi exaggeratedly opened his arms wide.\nSince Shao Xuan was a being who had seen electric lights before, he actually didn’t have too much desire towards this rock. What interested him more was the exchange between tribes that the Shaman had mentioned earlier. Since Fu Shi had mentioned it again, Shao Xuan used this opportunity to question him about it.\n“During the exchange, we will bring our stones to trade with other tribes. A small chunk of this can be exchanged for a lot of things!” Fu Shi once again explained.\nThe Water Moon stone was similar to gold, so when the Drumming tribe brought it out for trade, they would get high quality stones, precious medicinal herbs and even pottery in exchange. During every transaction, they would leave their tribe with a few chunks and return with many valuable items.\nInterested, Shao Xuan listened attentively, and from time to time asked a few questions. Speaking about his own tribe’s specialty, Fu Shi in turn became engaged, revealing more information regarding the production of the stone. He was not being loose lipped, but rather, only revealed things that were already known by the other tribes.\nIt wasn’t until late into the night that Shao Xuan finally let Fu Shi go. He took the piece of Water Moon stone away with him, after all, how could anyone sleep with such a bright stone? When one got into danger, hiding with this stone would be impossible. However, with so many dangers in the night, it was also a form of protection.\nEveryone else’s house around him was dark. If his room was bright, wouldn’t his location be too obvious?\nFu Shi didn’t know what Shao Xuan was thinking about while they talked, but his already good impression of Shao Xuan only improved further. When he got back to his room, Fu Shi even praised Shao Xuan to his wife, then reprimanded Chen Jia once more.\nThe next day, Shao Xuan ate a bloody breakfast, then walked outside.\nThe sun was already in the sky and the crocodiles were out, basking in the sun.\nIn the pond outside Chen Jia’s house, there were three crocodiles lounging around. Two had tan eyes and the other one had brown eyes.\nWhen Chacha descended, he had purposefully frightened them, making them run back into the pond.\nWhile racing towards the pond, Shao Xuan heard their cries. Only the tan eyed crocodiles let out a sound, while their brown eyed counterpart remained silent.\nHe thought that perhaps its cry was difficult for people to hear.\nShao Xuan initially believed all brown eyed crocodiles were like that, but he soon found out that in the neighbor’s pond, they cried the same as any other. The one in Fu Shi’s pond was just an exception.\nChen Jia was somewhat awkward when it came to Shao Xuan. His father had told him Shao Xuan did not know anything about the theft, and that he was even uninterested in the Water Moon stone! Adding in the fact that Shao Xuan had saved his life, Chen Jia was truly embarrassed about his actions.\n“He doesn’t cry out!” Chen Jia stated.\n“Doesn’t cry?!”\n“En. Since birth, he was unable to let out a sound. My mother said he was born a mute, it’s extremely pitiful. Therefore, we would always give it the best meat.”\nWhile living in the tribe, Shao Xuan could hear the cries of the night swallows. Apart from the senior totem warriors, no one else could. And right now, Shao Xuan could hear the crocodile cry while Chen Jia could not. Fu Shi and Ping were both intermediate totem warriors; this was visible from their eyes. Compared to Chen Jia, their eyes were more yellow, a characteristic of the Drumming tribe.\nJunior and intermediate totem warriors couldn’t hear it. And he didn’t know if senior warriors were able to, too.\nAfter Chacha left the pond, the brown-eyed crocodile once again crawled out of the water to continue basking in the sun.\nAt this moment, someone ran over.\n“Chen Jia, is your father inside?” The man asked.\n“He’s inside the house.”\n“You need to come with me, the chief has something he wants to say!”\nSeeing his grave expression, Fu Shi knew something serious had happened. Without hesitation, he hurriedly left with the man.\nBefore leaving, he warned Chen Jia, “Don’t run all over the place! If you do, I’ll beat you to death.”\nChen Jia curled his lip, reluctantly agreeing.\nPing wasn’t at home, and so, only Shao Xuan and Chen Jia were left at the house.\nShao Xuan looked around at the neighboring houses, and saw that many people were being called out. Evidently, this was a major event.\n“What happened in the tribe?” Shao Xuan asked.\n“I don’t know. This matter is probably related to the Water Moon stones.” Chen Jia responded.\nThinking back to last night’s conversation, Shao Xuan asked, “Do you mean that someone has stolen some pieces?”\n“Many are thieves from other tribes. Every time these thieves come, the amount of stolen stones continues to drastically increase. They should all die!”\nIn the afternoon, Fu Shi hurried home holding a stone tool, warning the two of them not to wander around.\n“The tribe discovered thieves from the Martyr tribe. We’re increasing our security. Tonight, I’m in charge of guarding the tribe so I won’t come back. Don’t you dare leave this house!”\nWhen he finished speaking, Fu Shi left once again.\nThroughout the whole tribe, many people were like him, wielding stone tools and hurriedly going out. Every one of them wore a grave expression on their face, with eyes letting out a murderous light.\nAfter Fu Shi went away, Shao Xuan asked Chen Jia, “What are the Martyr tribesmen like?”\nChen Jia surprisingly displayed fear and hatred on his face.\n“The people from the Martyr tribe are crazy. For the sake of achieving their goals, they’ll stop at nothing… they do not fear death… they are extremely fast…”\nThis group of lunatics weren’t close to the Drumming tribe, and they didn’t frequently interact with one another. Only, every time they appeared, they brought a reign of terror. And this time, the Martyr tribe was targeting the Water Moon stones.\nBecause the Drumming tribe had found traces of the Martyr tribe, everyone was extremely tense, to the point of even losing all appetite.\nPing and Chen Jia did not eat much. After dinner, Ping went to deliver some food to Fu Shi, leaving Chen Jia to obediently stay at home.\nHowever, Chen Jia was not someone that would patiently stay at home and wait. When other kids arrived, he quickly joined them, discussing their own plans as they left.\nAnd so, the only one left inside the house was Shao Xuan.\nThough the night sky was dark, it wasn’t completely pitch black.\nShao Xuan sat on the wooden planks, dangling his legs over the edge of the floor, allowing his feet to touch the water.\nThe water rippled as a shadow swam closer to Shao Xuan.\nIt was the brown-eyed crocodile.\nIt showed no traces of fear as it swam towards Shao Xuan. Rather, it seemed to be curious about him.\nHe noticed that its toes were connected in a weblike manner. Compared to the other two crocodiles, it was slimmer. The manner in which it crawled and swam in the water was much nimbler. Apart from its inability to cry, it was perfectly healthy.\nThe crocodile didn’t squirm or run after being lifted up, but obediently stayed still.\nIt’s temper truly was better than that of the tan-eyed crocodiles.\nAfter observing it for a while, Shao Xuan then put the crocodile back into the water."

第一五五章
鹿腿邵玄只吃了一点，剩余的都给了喳喳，喳喳爱吃生的。
鹿应该是和大角鹿差不多的品种，肉尝起来味道差不多。
见过这几家三口的血腥吃法，邵玄也对这个部落的人有了新的认识。
晚上喳喳在外面找了一棵大树，站在上面睡觉，而邵玄则睡在沉甲房间里，沉甲去跟他爹妈睡。
咢部落的人，这个时节并不会在屋子里铺上兽皮等之类的东西，直接睡在木板上，透过木板间的缝隙，还能看到下方的水面。
下方有小鳄鱼在游动，水池里的细微动静能清晰传过来。
窗户打开着，外面的月光透进来，风里也带着水汽和泥腥的气味。
这是邵玄离开部落之后过的第一个夜晚，很新奇的感觉。
正想着今天的事情，以及这个先祖兽皮卷上并无记载的咢部落，伏湜就进来了。
伏湜手里拿着一个发光的物体，像一盏小灯，将这个不大的房间照得亮亮的。
“这个是？”
邵玄对伏湜手里的东西很好奇。 那是一个拳头大的发光的晶块，邵玄从未在炎角部落那边见过。
“这是水月石，我们部落出产的。” 伏湜将手里的石块递给邵玄。
“水月石”倒是在兽皮卷上看到过，只是记载并不详细，只有一个名字。
入手有些凉，邵玄感受了一下这块石头里的能量，有些像火种的能量。 脑海里的图腾火焰并没有什么反应，但是，包裹着图腾的那个“蛋”状物。 却闪了一下，一个形状渐渐在里面形成。
那是一条褐色的鳄鱼，周围包裹着一圈白色的火焰，给人一种冷冷的感觉。
！
晶块里面并没有能吸收的能量，当脑海中的鳄鱼图腾消失之后，邵玄再次看向这个晶块，然后递还给伏湜。 “很亮很漂亮。”
伏湜一愣，他还是第一次遇到这种情况。 很多人在看到水月石之后，会露出喜爱或者贪婪之色。
可现在，邵玄却只是这样不轻不重的反应。
“你不喜欢水月石？ 我们部落产的水月石卖得可好了，就这么大块，能换好多东西呢！”
伏湜夸张地张开手臂比划了一下。 作为见过电灯的人，邵玄对这种只发光的石头，其实没有太大的兴趣。
让他感兴趣的是，咢部落的巫嘴里提过部落之间的交易。 现在伏湜又提了出来，邵玄便抓住机会询问。
“交易啊，我们会将自己的水月石拿去其他部落，和他们交换别的东西，一小块水月石能换很多东西呢！”
这就像是一块金子，拿着它，咢部落的人去哪里都能跟人交换他们所需要的东西，比如上好的石料，珍贵的药草，还有陶罐等等，每次交易，他们带着一些水月石出去，就能换回来很多东西。
邵玄饶有兴致听着，时不时问几句，说到自己部落的特产，伏湜也兴致高昂，将水月石的生产，以及如何交易都说了一遍，这并不是伏湜没有警戒心，而是因为，关于水月石的事情，很多部落都知道，并不是什么绝对的秘密。
一直说到深夜，邵玄才放伏湜回去，那块水月石，邵玄也让他带走了。 这么亮的石头在，怎么睡觉？
周围其他人家里都是黑暗的，就这个房间亮亮的，这不就是明显的目标吗？
伏湜却不知道邵玄心里所想，只觉得邵玄这人是真好，回房间之后还跟自己老婆夸了邵玄好几句，相对的，夫妻俩将沉甲又训了一顿。
次日，邵玄吃过带血的早餐，走出门。
太阳已经出来，水池里的小鳄鱼们爬出来晒太阳。
沉甲家门口的水池里，有三条小鳄鱼，两条黄褐色眼睛的，一条黑褐色眼睛的。
喳喳降落在旁边的时候，还去吓唬它们，三条小鳄鱼都吓得跑回水池里。
在它们进水池之前，邵玄还听到了它们的叫声。 只有那两条黄褐色眼睛的小鳄鱼在叫，另一条黑褐色眼睛的，却并没有叫出声。
或者说，它的叫声，跟它的同类不同，一般人很难听到。
邵玄以为，黑褐色眼睛的小鳄鱼都这样，但是，他发现，隔壁那家的水池里的黑褐色眼睛的小鳄鱼，叫声和其他鳄鱼一样。 面前水池的这条，是个例外。
为此，邵玄询问了在旁边踢着水的沉甲。 沉甲还有些别扭，他爹说邵玄确实什么都不知道，对水月石的兴趣也不大，再加上对方救过自己，一想起自己的所作所为，确实不太好意思。
“它不会叫啦！” 沉甲说道。
“不会叫？”
“嗯，它一出生就不会叫。 我阿娘说它是个哑巴，很可怜，所以每次都给它很多肉吃，给最好的肉。”
伏湜和萍都是中级图腾战士。 从他们的眼睛就能看出来，相比起沉甲的眼睛，他们的眼睛里，黄色所占的比例要更多一些，这是咢部落的特征。
初级和中级的图腾战士不能听到，不知道更高等级的战士能否听到。
喳喳离开水池边之后，那条黑褐色眼睛的小鳄鱼又爬出水池。 继续晒太阳。
这时，有人跑过来。
“沉甲，你阿爹呢？” 那人问道。
“在屋子里。”
“过去，首领有事情要说！”
看对方凝重的神情，伏湜知道事情还挺严重。 也没犹豫。
赶紧跟着一起离开。 离开之前还叮嘱沉甲：“别乱跑！ 再跑我揍死你！”
沉甲撇撇嘴，不情不愿地“嗯”了一声。
萍并不在家，这里也就只有邵玄和沉甲两人。
邵玄看着周围的几户人家，都有人被叫出去，显然是发生了什么大事。
“你们部落发生什么事了？” 邵玄问。
“我也不知道，大概是关于水月石的吧。” 沉甲说道。
想到昨晚伏湜说过的事情，邵玄道：“你的意思是，可能发现了偷水月石的贼？”
每次‘盗’出现的时候，水月石都被偷得非常多。 他们最该死！”
下午，伏湜匆匆赶了回来，拿上一些石器工具，叮嘱邵玄和沉甲不要乱跑。
“部落里有人发现侚部落的人了，部落防守加强，今晚我负责守卫，就不回来了，你们别出去！”
说完伏湜就急急忙忙离开。
周围其他屋子的人，也跟伏湜一样，拿着工具就匆忙出去了，每一个都面色凝重，眼中杀气腾腾的。
等伏湜走远，邵玄问沉甲：“侚部落的人，都是什么样的？”
沉甲难得地表露出了忌惮和愤恨之色。
这群疯子，离咢部落并不近，并不会经常出现，只是，每一次出现，都会掀起一场腥风血雨。
而这次，侚部落的目的，恐怕也是对着水月石来的。
因为部落里发现了侚部落的踪影，大家都很紧张，连晚上吃晚餐的时候食欲都下降了。
萍和沉甲并没有吃多少，吃过之后，萍就去给守卫的伏湜送吃的，让沉甲乖乖呆在家里。
不过沉甲并不是个在家干等的人，有其他小伙伴来找，他就跟着一起离开，商讨他们自己的计划去了。
于是，留在屋子里的，只有邵玄。
天色还没有完全黑下来。
邵玄坐在屋子旁边的木板上，坐在上面，垂下腿，能直接伸进水里。
水波起，一个身影朝着邵玄这边游过来。
是那条黑褐色眼睛的小鳄鱼。
它游过来之后，就看着邵玄，似乎对邵玄很好奇，并没有表现出畏惧感。
它的趾间有蹼，相比另外两条，要纤瘦一些，刚才看它爬行和游泳的动作，都很敏捷，除了叫声不被人所听见之外，其他的完全健康。
被抓起来的小鳄鱼也没跑，就乖乖呆在邵玄手上。
脾气果然比黄褐色眼睛的要温和很多。
观察了一会儿之后，邵玄就将它放回水里。

CoPW 155 – Water Moon stones. Translated by Jon
Shao Xuan ate only a bit of the deer meat, giving the rest to Chacha, who preferred eating raw meat.
This deer should be similar to the ones found in the Flaming Horns tribe, as they seem to taste the same.
After seeing the bloody manner in which they ate, Shao Xuan felt that he had learned a lot about the people of this tribe.
That night, Chacha flew outside and found a large tree to nest on, while Shao Xuan slept in Chen Jia’s room. Chen Jia slept with his parents instead.
During this season, the people of the Drumming tribe did not lay out any animal hides to sleep on, but rather slept directly on the wooden planks. Through the little cracks and holes in the planks, the pools of water could be seen.
From underneath the house, the sounds of small crocodiles moving about were clearly audible.
With the windows open, moonlight entered the house. The wind blew through, bringing with it a wet chill and a muddy smell.
With tonight being the first night that Shao Xuan would sleep at a different tribe, an extremely novel feeling overcame him.
As he was thinking of today’s matters, as well as how the ancestor’s hides failed to mention the Drumming tribe, Fu Shi entered the room.
In his hands, Fu Shi was holding something that illuminated the room, its appearance was similar to a small lantern.
“What’s this?” Shao Xuan curiously asked.
At a closer glance, he discovered that it was actually a crystal about the size of a fist. This was something he had never seen before.
“This is something that our tribe produces, the Water Moon stone.” Fu Shi answered, handing over the crystal.
On the ancestor’s animal hide, Shao Xuan had read about this “Water Moon stone”, only, what was written was so vague that it had just mentioned the name.
Shao Xuan could feel the energy within the crystal as he held it, it was similar to the fire energy. The totem flame inside his mind didn’t react, but the egg shaped object that was wrapped around the flame flashed once, gradually taking shape.
The object took on the shape of a brown crocodile, wrapped around a white colored flame. It gave off a feeling of coldness.
This was the Drumming tribe’s totem?!
The crystal could not absorb energy, and as the crocodile totem faded, Shao Xuan gave the item another glance before handing it back over to Fu Shi saying, “It’s very bright, and quite beautiful.”
Fu Shi stared blankly. This was the first time he had seen such a reaction. There were many people who, after looking at this stone, would either become extremely fond of it, or display their greed. When outsiders entered their tribe, the hosts responsible for them would show their hospitality and bring this stone out. After all, there were many people who didn’t like staying in the dark. By bringing out the biggest stone from their collection, they were able to test and see their guests true nature.
However, Shao Xuan had shown a lukewarm reaction towards it.
Could it be that he didn’t know how much this stone was worth?
“Are you not interested in this stone? The stones that our tribe produces are extremely sought after. This large piece could be exchanged for this many things!” Fu Shi exaggeratedly opened his arms wide.
Since Shao Xuan was a being who had seen electric lights before, he actually didn’t have too much desire towards this rock. What interested him more was the exchange between tribes that the Shaman had mentioned earlier. Since Fu Shi had mentioned it again, Shao Xuan used this opportunity to question him about it.
“During the exchange, we will bring our stones to trade with other tribes. A small chunk of this can be exchanged for a lot of things!” Fu Shi once again explained.
The Water Moon stone was similar to gold, so when the Drumming tribe brought it out for trade, they would get high quality stones, precious medicinal herbs and even pottery in exchange. During every transaction, they would leave their tribe with a few chunks and return with many valuable items.
Interested, Shao Xuan listened attentively, and from time to time asked a few questions. Speaking about his own tribe’s specialty, Fu Shi in turn became engaged, revealing more information regarding the production of the stone. He was not being loose lipped, but rather, only revealed things that were already known by the other tribes.
It wasn’t until late into the night that Shao Xuan finally let Fu Shi go. He took the piece of Water Moon stone away with him, after all, how could anyone sleep with such a bright stone? When one got into danger, hiding with this stone would be impossible. However, with so many dangers in the night, it was also a form of protection.
Everyone else’s house around him was dark. If his room was bright, wouldn’t his location be too obvious?
Fu Shi didn’t know what Shao Xuan was thinking about while they talked, but his already good impression of Shao Xuan only improved further. When he got back to his room, Fu Shi even praised Shao Xuan to his wife, then reprimanded Chen Jia once more.
The next day, Shao Xuan ate a bloody breakfast, then walked outside.
The sun was already in the sky and the crocodiles were out, basking in the sun.
In the pond outside Chen Jia’s house, there were three crocodiles lounging around. Two had tan eyes and the other one had brown eyes.
When Chacha descended, he had purposefully frightened them, making them run back into the pond.
While racing towards the pond, Shao Xuan heard their cries. Only the tan eyed crocodiles let out a sound, while their brown eyed counterpart remained silent.
He thought that perhaps its cry was difficult for people to hear.
Shao Xuan initially believed all brown eyed crocodiles were like that, but he soon found out that in the neighbor’s pond, they cried the same as any other. The one in Fu Shi’s pond was just an exception.
Chen Jia was somewhat awkward when it came to Shao Xuan. His father had told him Shao Xuan did not know anything about the theft, and that he was even uninterested in the Water Moon stone! Adding in the fact that Shao Xuan had saved his life, Chen Jia was truly embarrassed about his actions.
“He doesn’t cry out!” Chen Jia stated.
“Doesn’t cry?!”
“En. Since birth, he was unable to let out a sound. My mother said he was born a mute, it’s extremely pitiful. Therefore, we would always give it the best meat.”
While living in the tribe, Shao Xuan could hear the cries of the night swallows. Apart from the senior totem warriors, no one else could. And right now, Shao Xuan could hear the crocodile cry while Chen Jia could not. Fu Shi and Ping were both intermediate totem warriors; this was visible from their eyes. Compared to Chen Jia, their eyes were more yellow, a characteristic of the Drumming tribe.
Junior and intermediate totem warriors couldn’t hear it. And he didn’t know if senior warriors were able to, too.
After Chacha left the pond, the brown-eyed crocodile once again crawled out of the water to continue basking in the sun.
At this moment, someone ran over.
“Chen Jia, is your father inside?” The man asked.
“He’s inside the house.”
“You need to come with me, the chief has something he wants to say!”
Seeing his grave expression, Fu Shi knew something serious had happened. Without hesitation, he hurriedly left with the man.
Before leaving, he warned Chen Jia, “Don’t run all over the place! If you do, I’ll beat you to death.”
Chen Jia curled his lip, reluctantly agreeing.
Ping wasn’t at home, and so, only Shao Xuan and Chen Jia were left at the house.
Shao Xuan looked around at the neighboring houses, and saw that many people were being called out. Evidently, this was a major event.
“What happened in the tribe?” Shao Xuan asked.
“I don’t know. This matter is probably related to the Water Moon stones.” Chen Jia responded.
Thinking back to last night’s conversation, Shao Xuan asked, “Do you mean that someone has stolen some pieces?”
“Many are thieves from other tribes. Every time these thieves come, the amount of stolen stones continues to drastically increase. They should all die!”
In the afternoon, Fu Shi hurried home holding a stone tool, warning the two of them not to wander around.
“The tribe discovered thieves from the Martyr tribe. We’re increasing our security. Tonight, I’m in charge of guarding the tribe so I won’t come back. Don’t you dare leave this house!”
When he finished speaking, Fu Shi left once again.
Throughout the whole tribe, many people were like him, wielding stone tools and hurriedly going out. Every one of them wore a grave expression on their face, with eyes letting out a murderous light.
After Fu Shi went away, Shao Xuan asked Chen Jia, “What are the Martyr tribesmen like?”
Chen Jia surprisingly displayed fear and hatred on his face.
“The people from the Martyr tribe are crazy. For the sake of achieving their goals, they’ll stop at nothing… they do not fear death… they are extremely fast…”
This group of lunatics weren’t close to the Drumming tribe, and they didn’t frequently interact with one another. Only, every time they appeared, they brought a reign of terror. And this time, the Martyr tribe was targeting the Water Moon stones.
Because the Drumming tribe had found traces of the Martyr tribe, everyone was extremely tense, to the point of even losing all appetite.
Ping and Chen Jia did not eat much. After dinner, Ping went to deliver some food to Fu Shi, leaving Chen Jia to obediently stay at home.
However, Chen Jia was not someone that would patiently stay at home and wait. When other kids arrived, he quickly joined them, discussing their own plans as they left.
And so, the only one left inside the house was Shao Xuan.
Though the night sky was dark, it wasn’t completely pitch black.
Shao Xuan sat on the wooden planks, dangling his legs over the edge of the floor, allowing his feet to touch the water.
The water rippled as a shadow swam closer to Shao Xuan.
It was the brown-eyed crocodile.
It showed no traces of fear as it swam towards Shao Xuan. Rather, it seemed to be curious about him.
He noticed that its toes were connected in a weblike manner. Compared to the other two crocodiles, it was slimmer. The manner in which it crawled and swam in the water was much nimbler. Apart from its inability to cry, it was perfectly healthy.
The crocodile didn’t squirm or run after being lifted up, but obediently stayed still.
It’s temper truly was better than that of the tan-eyed crocodiles.
After observing it for a while, Shao Xuan then put the crocodile back into the water.

What kind of condition is this?\"\n\"Could it be that this fellow is lustful, and we have to prepare some ladies for him?\"\n\"Indeed, this condition is way too bizarre. After all, you can't possibly expect us to fathom his thoughts to give him something he desires!\"\nUpon hearing the bizarre condition of the auction, everyone was dumbfounded.\nIn an auction, one would usually demand spirit stones, Tutelage Jade Tokens, or valuable objects. Never had they heard of an auction which the condition was 'as long as I'm satisfied'.\nWhat if that person was unable to find something that satisfies him? Would he refuse to sell it then?\nWhat the heck was this?\n\"Interesting!\"\nIn Suite 23, the young man had finally recovered from his shock. The anxiety from his eyes disappeared, and a slight smile crept onto his face.\n\"Interesting?\" The elder was puzzled.\n\"The reason why he made this condition is so as to hook a big one!\" the young man said.\n\"Young master, you noticed something about the auction?\"\n\"Simple. As we're dealing with artifacts here, the value might be subjective as people have different needs. As such, interested buyers can only raise their bids to their upper limit in hopes that the artifact they offer will satisfy him.\"\nThe young man chuckled, \"This way, the price will soar. All kinds of treasures will be offered, and all he needs to do is to choose the one that is the most valuable and useful to him.\"\n\"This...\" The elder was stunned.\nThere were some treasures hoarded by some of the influential powers that one couldn't obtain by normal means. If they were unwilling to take it out, those items would never see the light of the day.\nHowever, for this Soulless Metal Humanoid, there was a good chance that they might take those treasures out. If so, this method of conducting the auction would bring the owner even greater value.\n\"Let's forget about that for now, let's see what those people have to offer!\"\nKnowing the other party's motive, the young man chuckled silently.\n\"Something that would satisfy him?\"\nHearing the condition, Zhang Xuan was taken aback.\n\"What arrogant words! Even though the Soulless Metal Humanoid is valuable, it's just an ancient relic now. Who knows whether it still can be used or not? The only reason why most people are interested in it is because it came from the ancient soul oracles!\"\nZhao Feiwu harrumphed.\nIn truth, the Soulless Metal Humanoid was no different from a slightly more advanced puppet, wielding the strength of a Transcendent Mortal 3-dan. If not for research purposes, there was no one who would spend a fortune to purchase it.\n\"You're wrong... What they truly wanted isn't the Soulless Metal Humanoid but the heritage of the soul oracles!\"\nHall Master Sai shook his head.\n\"Heritage?\"\nZhao Feiwu turned to look at Hall Master Sai in bewilderment.\n\"Un, I've examined the Soulless Metal Humanoid and even though it was forged a very long time ago, it's in extremely good condition. If one were to study it carefully, one might be able to uncover the way to forging it! While this puppet only forms a small part of the strength of the soul oracles, it could still become a huge source of fortune,\" Hall Master Sai said.\n\"So what if one uncovers the way to forging this puppet? Would one really... use a living human being to forge this darned puppet?\" Taken aback, Zhao Feiwu frowned. \"If the Master Teacher Pavilion were to learn of it, they would surely eliminate that person.\"\n\"It's not to forge the puppet...\"\nHall Master Sai shook his head and explained, \"There's a limit to a person's lifespan. However, a person's soul can continue existing for a very long time as long as it's well cared for. Four hundred to five hundred years wouldn't be a problem at all. If one learns the way to crafting it, one might learn how to transfer one's soul into this puppet as well. In the ancient times, when the Master Teacher Pavilion was on a crusade against the soul oracles, they managed to escape on many occasions making use of this method...\"\n\"Transferring one's soul to the Soulless Metal Humanoid to sustain oneself?\"\nZhao Feiwu widened her eyes in shock.\nEven though she had read a lot of books, this was the first time she was hearing of such a peculiar notion.\n\"That's right!\" Hall Master Sai nodded.\nHe only found out about this after reading through many books concerning the Soulless Metal Humanoid while he was doing his research.\nThe powers who were interested in it also managed to grab hold of this news through certain means, and thus, they went to great extents to prepare for this auction. After all, there were very few people who could resist the allure of an extended lifespan.\nThis was especially for those who were reaching their limit. Even if they had to give up on their humanity to live for just another decade or so, they would be delighted to do so.\nHearing the conversation of the duo, Zhang Xuan sighed.\nIf that was truly the case, many people would surely be frenzied over the Soulless Metal Humanoid. If so, the price would surely rise to an astronomical sum.\n\"Since no one is making an offer, allow me to go first!\"\nJust as the crowd was contemplating over the matter, an elder below raised his hand and shouted.\n\"It's the Gold Saint Phantom Hands, Liao Yuxi! He had made a name for himself a hundred years ago—to think that he isn't dead yet!\"\n\"If he were to go first, he might possibly come up with a price that no one will be able to top!\"\nAfter getting a clear glimpse of the elder's appearance, the crowd immediately discussed with hushed voices.\nGold Saint Phantom Hands was an expert whose name induced fear across the entire Myriad Kingdom Alliance a hundred years ago. Everyone had thought that he was already dead since it had been a century since he had disappeared from the public eye. Yet, to think that not only was he alive and kicking, he even attended this auction and became the first one to make his offer.\nScanning the surroundings, the Gold Saint Phantom Hands Liao Yuxi said, \"The Ursae Majoris Umbrella!\"\n\"Ursae Majoris Umbrella? What's that?\"\n\"It's a Spirit intermediate-tier equipment crafted in reference to the Alpha Ursae Majoris star of the Big Dipper constellation. It is aligned with a formation, and it's an incredible treasure that is both suited for offense and defense. A hundred years ago, the entire Myriad Kingdom Alliance trembled before its name. To think that that legendary weapon would appear here!\"\nAfter hearing Liao Yuxi's words, the faces of the people who recognized the treasure were astonished, and disbelief marked their faces.\n\"The Ursae Majoris Umbrella might be incredible, but it's definitely not enough to trade for this Soulless Metal Humanoid. Allow me instead! Old mister, judging by your weak aura, you must be in poor health. I have a Thousand-Year-Old Blood Ginseng here. Even if you're nearing the end of your lifespan, if you were to consume it, you will definitely be able to live for another decade or so!\"\nEveryone turned their gazes over. The one who had just spoken was a middle-aged man with thick, black eyebrows. He was dressed in a luxurious robe, and he had an arrogant expression on his face.\n\"It's the Herb Emperor of the Great Herb Gazebo! That is a Thousand-Year-Old Blood Ginseng! It is much more valuable than the Glacier Spirit Grass sold previously, and even the Ursae Majoris Umbrella cannot compete with it!\"\n\"Indeed, the idea of trading with other artifacts is indeed insane. It's just the second offer, but it has already locked out innumerable competitors!\"\n\"How can we compete with this? A Thousand-Year-Old Blood Ginseng isn't something that one can obtain from the market with just money...\"\nEven the eyebrows of the old man on the stage twitched a little. However, he soon calmed down.\nClearly, this wasn't the item that he was in desperate need of.\n\"The Thousand-Year-Old Blood Ginseng might sound incredible, but if a person who doesn't know how to process it consumes it outright, not only will his lifespan not be expanded, he might even die from the violent energy contained within the herb. Rather than that, don't you think that the grade-4 pinnacle spirit pill [Duodecennial Longevity Pill] is better?

It was from the old man on the stage.\nUpon hearing him speak, everyone quickly quietened down.\n\"All of the items you all have offered are valuable, but it's a pity that those aren't what I wanted.\"\nThe old man shook his head.\n\"Those aren't what you wanted? Then what do you want? If you were to tell us, I believe that at least one of us here can offer it to you.\"\n\"Indeed, just say it.

But just as he was about to use the Eye of Insight to take a closer look, his mind suddenly jolted and a book appeared in the Library of Heaven's Path.\n\"That person executed a battle technique?\"\nThere were only two reasons behind the appearance of a book in the Library of Heaven's Path. Given that he wasn't in physical contact with the other party, the only possibility was that the other party was using a battle technique.\nTo think that just shutting his mouth was a battle technique in itself... This was way too bizarre!\n\"I should take a look at the book first!\"\nAfter flipping through the book, a bizarre expression appeared on Zhang Xuan's face. \"Such a matter can happen as well?\""

第四百六十八章
无魂金人拍卖（下）【第三更，盟主兰陵王不喝酒加更！
“随意说？”
“只要他满意？ 就会交换？
“难不成这家伙好色，还要准备几个美女不成？”
“是啊，这条件也太古怪了，总不能让我们揣摩他的心意，去做决定吧！”
听到如此古怪的拍卖条件，所有人都懵了。
拍卖会有要钱、课程玉符、各种珍贵物品的，从未听过条件不限，只为了让他满意的。
一直遇不到满意的，还不卖了？
这算什么？
“有意思！”
23号包间内，青年此时已经恢复过来，再没了之前的焦躁，反而微微一笑。
“有意思？”
老者不懂。 “他这是坐地起价，想要来个大的！”
“少爷，可是看出了什么？”
“很简单，因为没有限制，也就没有低价，想要购买的买家，生怕被人抢去，就会肆意加码，说出一个能让他满意的价格。”
青年轻轻一笑，露出了然于胸的表情：“这样以来，价格就会满天飞，各种宝物层出不穷，他只需要选择一个最想要、价值最高的，肯定比拍卖要强得多。”
“这……”老者愣住。
的确如此。 有些宝物被一些大势力私藏，是拍卖会上不一定能够得到的，如果他们不愿意拿出来，很多人将永远见不到。
以物易物，这些势力为了得到无魂金人，就极有可能拿出，这样以来，他得到的东西，肯定更有价值。
“先不管了，看看这些人都能拿出什么吧！”
知道了对方的目的，青年笑了笑，不再多说。
“让他满意？”
听到这个条件，张悬也是一愣。
“真是好大的口气，无魂金人就算珍贵，也只是个不知死了多少年的傀儡而已，能不能用还不一定。
赵非武哼了一声。
无魂金人，说白了就是个高明点的傀儡，实力和化凡三重相仿，如果不是研究，谁要这玩意干啥？ 几千灵石，化凡境三重强者，都可以雇佣好几个了。
“你错了……其实，他们要无魂金人的目的，并非这东西，而是巫魂师传承！”
赛阁主摇头。
“传承？”
赵非武看过来。
“嗯，这头无魂金人我专门观察过，虽然年代久远，却保存的极好，如果仔细研究的话，极有可能找到炮制之法！ 虽然这东西，只是巫魂师的一部分能力，一旦找到，绝对是一大笔财富。”
赛阁主道。 “找到炮制之法又有何用？
难不成……还想拿活人炼制这鬼东西？”
赛阁主摇头：“人的寿命有限，可灵魂却是能活很久的，好好保养，四五百年，都不成问题。 找到这东西的炮制方法，就极有可能将频临死亡者的灵魂，转接在上面。
“转移灵魂，借助无魂金人而存活？”
赵非武瞪大眼睛。
就算他读书多，知识广博，也是第一次听到。
“是啊！” 赛阁主点头。
这些事情，也是他知道这是无魂金人后，研究了无数相关书籍才知道的。
前来购买这东西的大势力，不知也从哪里得到了消息，一个个充满了渴望。
尤其是那些快要死亡的老家伙们，要是能够苟延残喘，哪怕再多十年八年，肯定也是极为乐意的。
将二人的对话听在耳中，张悬叹息。
果真如此的话，无魂金人足可以让不少人为之疯狂，购买的价格，可能也会变成天价。
“既然没人开口，那就我先来吧！”
众人各有想法的时候，拍卖场一个老者当先喊了出来。
“是金圣鬼手，廖玉玺，这家伙一百年前就闻名天下了，没想到居然还没死！”
“他先来，弄不好会给出一个让人无法反驳的价格！”
看清楚说话的人，众人顿时压低了声音。
金圣鬼手，一百年前就名闻天下的超级强者，本以为早就归于尘土，没想到不但没死，还来参加这个拍卖会，并且第一个叫价。 活这么久的强者，手里怎么可能没有一些存货。
“一柄天枢伞！” 环顾一周，金圣鬼手廖玉玺道。
“天枢伞？ 那是什么？”
“是一件灵品中期兵器，以北斗七星中的天枢星为参照凝练而成，暗合阵法，集攻击、防御与一体，是一件不得多的的宝物。 一百多年前，名动万国联盟，没想到居然将这东西拿出来！”
听到廖玉玺开口，有认识这宝物的，一个个惊讶万分，难以相信。
看这位先生，气息衰弱，应该是身体不太康健，我这有一株千年血参。 就算气血亏损寿元将近，吞服后也能保证，多活十年八年！” 众人的震惊还没结束，一个冷哼响起。
齐刷刷看去，说话的是个眉宇乌黑的中年人，衣着华贵，器宇轩昂。
“是宝药阁的大药王！ 千年血参，这个比之前拍卖的寒冰灵草珍贵多了，天枢伞也比不上！”
“是啊，以物易物果然疯狂，才第二个，就封住了一大部分人的想法！”
听到这位大药王居然拿出千年血参，再次哗然。
就连台中的老者，也眉毛动了一下，不过，随即安静下来。
很显然，这东西也不是他迫切需要的。
“千年血参听起来吓人，不知晓吃法，就这样服用，非但不能增加寿命，弄不好还会爆体而亡。 还是用我的吧，四品巅峰灵丹，【纪寿丹】！
服用之后，只要没有太大问题，完全可以增加一纪寿元。
而且没有任何副作用，比什么血参强太多了！”
一个老者哼道。 “纪寿丹，增加一纪寿元……这东西，虽是四品丹药，可却非五星炼丹师不能炼制，一出手就是这个，太大方了！”
虽只有三人出价，却已将气氛推到了高潮。
之前不少自认为无魂金人必定落入他们之手的势力，全都感到了浓浓的压力。
来买东西的诸多势力，全都不弱于鉴宝阁，静心准备的宝物，价值之大，可想而知。
“好了，诸位！”
就在众人各自争吵，纷纷说出自己能够拿出的物品时，一个淡淡的声音响起，最中间的老者开口。
见他说话，房间顿时安静下来。
“诸位的宝物，都非常珍贵，可惜，都不是我想要的。”
老者摇头。
“不是你想要的？ 那你到底想要什么？ 不妨说出来，我们这么多人，能够拿出来的就接了，拿不出来的，也自认倒霉。”
“不错，想要什么就说，别让我们猜来猜去，虽然想买无魂金人，可也没这么多功夫与你耗着！”
见说出这么多宝贝，每一个都价值连城，这家伙却说都不想要，众人一个个全都吼了出来。
大家尽管很想购买无魂金人，可也不想猜测别人心理，你一直打哑谜，到底要干什么？
难不成在耍众人玩？
“我……”迟疑了一下，老者想要说些什么，突然身体一僵，停了下来，眼睛紧闭，一言不发。
“这家伙要干什么？”
“不知道，耍我们玩呢？”
“可恶！”
没想到这家伙欲说还休，如此模样，众人全都满脸愤怒。
要不是顾忌这里是拍卖场，肯定早就动手将他活活打死了。
“嗯？”
这人突然僵直，不再说话，张悬也觉得奇怪，正想再用明理之眼观察，就觉得脑中一震，一本书籍出现。
“他难道施展武技了？”
忍不住一愣。 图书馆出现书籍，只有两种情况，现在这家伙距离这么远，凭空冒出，恐怕是暗地里施展了某种武技。
话说到一半，突然闭嘴使用武技……这也太诡异了吧！
“先看看再说！”
心中疑惑，张悬知道，思考再多也没用，当即取下书籍，随手翻开。

Chapter 468: Bidding For The Soulless Metal Humanoid (2)
Chapter 468: Bidding For The Soulless Metal Humanoid (2) Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
"Feel free to offer?"
"As long as he's satisfied, he'll make the exchange? What kind of condition is this?"
"Could it be that this fellow is lustful, and we have to prepare some ladies for him?"
"Indeed, this condition is way too bizarre. After all, you can't possibly expect us to fathom his thoughts to give him something he desires!"
Upon hearing the bizarre condition of the auction, everyone was dumbfounded.
In an auction, one would usually demand spirit stones, Tutelage Jade Tokens, or valuable objects. Never had they heard of an auction which the condition was 'as long as I'm satisfied'.
What if that person was unable to find something that satisfies him? Would he refuse to sell it then?
What the heck was this?
"Interesting!"
In Suite 23, the young man had finally recovered from his shock. The anxiety from his eyes disappeared, and a slight smile crept onto his face.
"Interesting?" The elder was puzzled.
"The reason why he made this condition is so as to hook a big one!" the young man said.
"Young master, you noticed something about the auction?"
"Simple. As we're dealing with artifacts here, the value might be subjective as people have different needs. As such, interested buyers can only raise their bids to their upper limit in hopes that the artifact they offer will satisfy him."
The young man chuckled, "This way, the price will soar. All kinds of treasures will be offered, and all he needs to do is to choose the one that is the most valuable and useful to him."
"This..." The elder was stunned.
There were some treasures hoarded by some of the influential powers that one couldn't obtain by normal means. If they were unwilling to take it out, those items would never see the light of the day.
However, for this Soulless Metal Humanoid, there was a good chance that they might take those treasures out. If so, this method of conducting the auction would bring the owner even greater value.
"Let's forget about that for now, let's see what those people have to offer!"
Knowing the other party's motive, the young man chuckled silently.
"Something that would satisfy him?"
Hearing the condition, Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"What arrogant words! Even though the Soulless Metal Humanoid is valuable, it's just an ancient relic now. Who knows whether it still can be used or not? The only reason why most people are interested in it is because it came from the ancient soul oracles!"
Zhao Feiwu harrumphed.
In truth, the Soulless Metal Humanoid was no different from a slightly more advanced puppet, wielding the strength of a Transcendent Mortal 3-dan. If not for research purposes, there was no one who would spend a fortune to purchase it.
"You're wrong... What they truly wanted isn't the Soulless Metal Humanoid but the heritage of the soul oracles!"
Hall Master Sai shook his head.
"Heritage?"
Zhao Feiwu turned to look at Hall Master Sai in bewilderment.
"Un, I've examined the Soulless Metal Humanoid and even though it was forged a very long time ago, it's in extremely good condition. If one were to study it carefully, one might be able to uncover the way to forging it! While this puppet only forms a small part of the strength of the soul oracles, it could still become a huge source of fortune," Hall Master Sai said.
"So what if one uncovers the way to forging this puppet? Would one really... use a living human being to forge this darned puppet?" Taken aback, Zhao Feiwu frowned. "If the Master Teacher Pavilion were to learn of it, they would surely eliminate that person."
"It's not to forge the puppet..."
Hall Master Sai shook his head and explained, "There's a limit to a person's lifespan. However, a person's soul can continue existing for a very long time as long as it's well cared for. Four hundred to five hundred years wouldn't be a problem at all. If one learns the way to crafting it, one might learn how to transfer one's soul into this puppet as well. In the ancient times, when the Master Teacher Pavilion was on a crusade against the soul oracles, they managed to escape on many occasions making use of this method..."
"Transferring one's soul to the Soulless Metal Humanoid to sustain oneself?"
Zhao Feiwu widened her eyes in shock.
Even though she had read a lot of books, this was the first time she was hearing of such a peculiar notion.
"That's right!" Hall Master Sai nodded.
He only found out about this after reading through many books concerning the Soulless Metal Humanoid while he was doing his research.
The powers who were interested in it also managed to grab hold of this news through certain means, and thus, they went to great extents to prepare for this auction. After all, there were very few people who could resist the allure of an extended lifespan.
This was especially for those who were reaching their limit. Even if they had to give up on their humanity to live for just another decade or so, they would be delighted to do so.
Hearing the conversation of the duo, Zhang Xuan sighed.
If that was truly the case, many people would surely be frenzied over the Soulless Metal Humanoid. If so, the price would surely rise to an astronomical sum.
"Since no one is making an offer, allow me to go first!"
Just as the crowd was contemplating over the matter, an elder below raised his hand and shouted.
"It's the Gold Saint Phantom Hands, Liao Yuxi! He had made a name for himself a hundred years ago—to think that he isn't dead yet!"
"If he were to go first, he might possibly come up with a price that no one will be able to top!"
After getting a clear glimpse of the elder's appearance, the crowd immediately discussed with hushed voices.
Gold Saint Phantom Hands was an expert whose name induced fear across the entire Myriad Kingdom Alliance a hundred years ago. Everyone had thought that he was already dead since it had been a century since he had disappeared from the public eye. Yet, to think that not only was he alive and kicking, he even attended this auction and became the first one to make his offer.
Scanning the surroundings, the Gold Saint Phantom Hands Liao Yuxi said, "The Ursae Majoris Umbrella!"
"Ursae Majoris Umbrella? What's that?"
"It's a Spirit intermediate-tier equipment crafted in reference to the Alpha Ursae Majoris star of the Big Dipper constellation. It is aligned with a formation, and it's an incredible treasure that is both suited for offense and defense. A hundred years ago, the entire Myriad Kingdom Alliance trembled before its name. To think that that legendary weapon would appear here!"
After hearing Liao Yuxi's words, the faces of the people who recognized the treasure were astonished, and disbelief marked their faces.
"The Ursae Majoris Umbrella might be incredible, but it's definitely not enough to trade for this Soulless Metal Humanoid. Allow me instead! Old mister, judging by your weak aura, you must be in poor health. I have a Thousand-Year-Old Blood Ginseng here. Even if you're nearing the end of your lifespan, if you were to consume it, you will definitely be able to live for another decade or so!"
Everyone turned their gazes over. The one who had just spoken was a middle-aged man with thick, black eyebrows. He was dressed in a luxurious robe, and he had an arrogant expression on his face.
"It's the Herb Emperor of the Great Herb Gazebo! That is a Thousand-Year-Old Blood Ginseng! It is much more valuable than the Glacier Spirit Grass sold previously, and even the Ursae Majoris Umbrella cannot compete with it!"
"Indeed, the idea of trading with other artifacts is indeed insane. It's just the second offer, but it has already locked out innumerable competitors!"
"How can we compete with this? A Thousand-Year-Old Blood Ginseng isn't something that one can obtain from the market with just money..."
Even the eyebrows of the old man on the stage twitched a little. However, he soon calmed down.
Clearly, this wasn't the item that he was in desperate need of.
"The Thousand-Year-Old Blood Ginseng might sound incredible, but if a person who doesn't know how to process it consumes it outright, not only will his lifespan not be expanded, he might even die from the violent energy contained within the herb. Rather than that, don't you think that the grade-4 pinnacle spirit pill [Duodecennial Longevity Pill] is better? Not only does it enhance one's lifespan by twelve years, there are no side effects at all. Isn't it clear which one is better with just a single look?"
An elder harrumphed.
"It's the head of the Apothecary Guild..."
"Duodecennial Longevity Pill, the pill famous for being able to extend a person's lifespan by twelve years... Even though it's a grade-4 pill, it's a known fact that one has to be at least a 5-star apothecary to successfully forge it! What a generous offer this is!" "Insane, everyone has gone insane..."
Even though only three people had made their offers, the atmosphere had already reached a new high.
"I have..." Slowly, all of the powers raised their offers without holding back at all.
There were several powers here who was in no way less affluent than the Appraiser Hall here. Naturally, the artifacts they had to offer were unimaginable.
"Alright, everyone!"
Just as everyone was in the middle of bickering with one another over whose artifact was better, a calm voice sounded. It was from the old man on the stage.
Upon hearing him speak, everyone quickly quietened down.
"All of the items you all have offered are valuable, but it's a pity that those aren't what I wanted."
The old man shook his head.
"Those aren't what you wanted? Then what do you want? If you were to tell us, I believe that at least one of us here can offer it to you."
"Indeed, just say it. Even though we're interested in the Soulless Metal Humanoid, we don't have the time to be wasting here with you!"
Seeing that the other party had turned down all of these invaluable artifacts, everyone howled in anger.
It's true that we are interested in buying the Soulless Metal Humanoid, but we don't have the time or effort to be guessing your thoughts. Is there even any basis to what you're doing?
Or are you trying to play us like fools?
"I..." After hesitating for a moment, the old man opened his mouth to speak but his entire body abruptly froze. Then, he slowly closed his eyes and mouth, not saying a word at all.
"What is that fellow doing?"
"Does he think that we're jokes?"
"Damn it!"
Not expecting the other party to still be playing such games, the fury of the crowd surged.
If not in consideration of the location, they might have rushed forward to beat him up.
"Hmm?"
Zhang Xuan found the other party's abrupt freezing to be extremely bizarre. But just as he was about to use the Eye of Insight to take a closer look, his mind suddenly jolted and a book appeared in the Library of Heaven's Path.
"That person executed a battle technique?"
There were only two reasons behind the appearance of a book in the Library of Heaven's Path. Given that he wasn't in physical contact with the other party, the only possibility was that the other party was using a battle technique.
To think that just shutting his mouth was a battle technique in itself... This was way too bizarre!
"I should take a look at the book first!"
After flipping through the book, a bizarre expression appeared on Zhang Xuan's face. "Such a matter can happen as well?"

Her brows were tightly locked, not knowing how to continue. “Dong, dong, dong.”\nSomeone knocked on the courtyard gate. “Lady Yunxi, the head of the family is back, and asked me to bring you to the Vast Ocean Loft.”\nChen Yunxi raised her brows. She put down her sword, went back to wash her hair, and put on a delicate yellow dress before leaving.\nXin Mei stood outside with her head lowered, not daring to look at her. “Lady Yunxi…”\n“Lead the way, maybe it’s finally time for this to end,” Chen Yunxi said flatly.\nShe remembered loving Lu Sheng, even to the point where she couldn’t live without him.\nBut then, after a long period of separation, that love faded. Maybe because of time, maybe because love had its limits. The only thing left in her was a sense of duty and responsibility.\nMaybe love still existed, but it was very, very faint.\nXin Mei raised her head to glance at Chen Yunxi, and felt that Lady Chenxi nowadays looked at everything so calmly and apathetically like she had stopped caring.\nShe led Chen Yunxi toward the Vast Ocean Loft.\nOftentimes, servants and maids of the mansion bowed and courtseyed toward Chen Yunxi.\nShe was the spouse of the family head, so even though she wasn’t his principal wife, she enjoyed a position simply because she could talk to the family head.

No one else was present.\nLooking from afar, he had a savage air about him.\nChen Yunxi was a little shocked by the air as her heart skipped a beat. Her mind, which had been calm for so long, started to ripple again.\nShe could feel Lu Sheng’s eyes moving across her body as if she was a deer that was tightly held under a lion’s paw.\nThe feeling was strong to the point where breathing was becoming hard for her.\nLu Sheng sighed. He was trying his best to suppress his aura, but because he had consumed too many Divine Weapons, the strange evil aura lingering around him also became stronger. Even in his Extreme Yin Form, he somehow couldn’t hide it completely.\nWhile Chen Yunxi was only an ordinary mortal at best, she was someone who was well-trained in martial arts. The two of them were almost like two separate species at this point, and it was impressive of him to even achieve this.\nHe thought back to the journey with Divine Lord Tong Sheng that lasted several months. Under the cover of Divine Lord Tong Sheng, the powerful aura around the two was somehow disguised to appear like that of ordinary mortals, without a single flaw. In their everyday lives, no one realized that the two were anything but mortal, and rather saw them as grandfather and grandson.\n‘I still have a long road ahead of me compared to Senior Tong Sheng… ‘ Lu Sheng sighed again in his heart. The road between Jade Star and Divine Intellect was long and hard. It might only take a few decades for some, but for others it might take more than a century. Many Divine Lords might even spend their entire life stuck on the path, unable to progress any further.\nLu Sheng didn’t think he could achieve a breakthrough to Divine Intellect in a few years. That wasn’t realistic. According to the information given to him by Tong Sheng, to achieve Divine Intellect, he had to have a thorough understanding as well as complete control over all the changes and patterns of his Core Law Death Blaze.\nNone of that could be understood in a short period of time; besides, it required experimentation in different environments and conditions. He needed to go through countless trials to explore all the possibilities.\nAchieving what he had in such a short period of time was unprecedented already.\nWhen he finally came out of his thoughts, Lu Sheng stared at Chen Yunxi.\n“How long has it been since we’ve had the time to chat quietly like this?” His eyes were filled with sympathy and regret as he stared at the girl whose life was held up because of him.\nEven though Chen Yunxi was the one to chase after him, she gave the best years of her life to the Lu Family, to him. She even had to live estranged for so long.\nLuckily, he finally had a solution to the problem now.\nChen Yunxi was silent.\n“I can’t remember. Is there something you want to tell me?”\nLu Sheng fell silent as well, then sighed lightly. “We haven’t done our duty as husband and wife yet since our marriage, have we?”\nChen Yunxi blanked out. “Duty as husband and wife?!”\nHow could two people like that, even if they had each other in their heart, truly be husband and wife?\n“I…” Did Lu Sheng find a solution to that problem? Chen Yunxi felt like something just exploded in her brain as all sorts of emotions came out in a frenzy.\nHer heart was a like a coil of tangled rope. Living with someone she loved was once her dream, but now that this dream suddenly came true, she suddenly felt a little afraid.\n“In truth, I wouldn’t let you go whether you love me or not. I think you understand that very well,” Lu Sheng continued. “Your body, even with Inner Qi and the radiation of a Divine Weapon, would last 200 years at most… While I have more than several centuries of life span.”\n“I…” Chen Yunxi opened her mouth again, but didn’t know what to say.\nShe lowered her head, closed her eyes, then reopened them and stared at the perfect legs showing under her dress.\nThe skin on her shin was so white and delicate it was almost shining, and seemed even more fit and light after her constant training, like the rarest of jade.\n“I can’t feel that you still love me. Like you said, even if we divorce, the Lu Family would never allow me to leave. But why does that matter? Just pretend I don’t exist. The Autumn Moon County and even the whole Moling Prefecture has countless beautiful women, why would you care about a mortal girl like me?”\n“Do you still not understand?” Lu Sheng stood up. “This is what I owe you. You should have had a beautiful future, but I held you up. You deserve this.”\n“I don’t need any compensation, you have given me enough riches. I don’t want anything else apart from a peaceful life. It doesn’t matter if you divorce me or not. All I want is a peaceful life.” Chen Yunxi shook her head. Her eyes were as calm as a pond as she stared at Lu Sheng, who was approaching.\nShe paused as she pushed aside a strand of hair on her chin.\n“In the Lu Family Mansion, next to you, I was able to see a beautiful world, places I would never had the chance to go to. I like this life.\n“In the North, back in the Great Song, if it weren’t for you and the Lu Family, my dad and my family would have been devastated by the Devil Calamity. They would probably be dead by now.\n“All of that, I have you to thank for.\n“Besides, even if you divorce me, there is little chance people will bother me, at least around my level.\n“Even one level higher, or two, or however many, very few would dare bother me. Rest assured. Even if we divorce, I wouldn’t find another— AGH!! What are you doing!?”\n“Too much talk, give me a kid first!”\n“Let me go! Aghh!! Release me!!”\nChen Yunxi was swooped up before she could realize what was going on, and when she finally reacted, her fist was useless on Lu Sheng. Amid her screaming, she was carried to an inner chamber.\n“Ripppp.” Her dress was instantly ripped apart. Chen Yunxi was only wearing her undergarments, and tried to run out of the room. But Lu Sheng grabbed her legs and dragged her onto the big bed, while the door slammed shut with a heavy wind.\nAfter the rain finished, Lu Sheng held Chen Yunxi’s pale butt in one hand, carried her onto his chest, and stood up.\nHe changed slightly just then because of the excitement. His body was nearly three meters tall, and even though it still wasn’t his true form, it was halfway through.\nAfter using the Heavenly Demon’s Blooming Channel Technique, Lu Sheng finally experienced something he never had before. Maybe after this, Chen Yunxi would be pregnant with his heir.\nThe shaky oil lamp in the wall reflected the strange shape of the two.\nThe nearly three meter tall Lu Sheng appeared like a powerful beast, the muscle on his body like steel. The usual shoulder-length hair looked only slightly longer than normal after the growth, looking somewhat wild. Unfortunately, returning to his original form caused certain parts like his knees, chest, and shoulders to grow a faint layer of protective scales, appearing savage and cruel.\nMeanwhile, Chen Yunxi, who was only 1.7 meters tall, appeared like a delicate vase in Lu Sheng’s hands. Her body was drenched in sweat, and her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she powerlessly leaned tightly against Lu Sheng. Obviously, she was past her limit.\nHer snow white body formed a strange and beautiful balance with Lu Sheng’s dark and powerful body in the dim light."

第四百三十一章
秋月郡城，路府。
陈芸熙一手握着短剑，在自己的小院里转身腾挪，连环施展才学到的逐日剑法。
习练了一阵后，陈芸熙轻轻停下动作，唰的一声将剑刃归鞘站定，秀眉紧蹙，一时间也不知道该怎么继续。
院门传来敲门声。 “芸熙小姐，族长回来了，请您去一趟瀚海阁。”
陈芸熙眉目一挑，回屋放下短剑，稍微梳洗了下，将长发披散下来，换一身稍显清秀雅致的淡黄长裙，才走出来打开院门。
门外的新梅诚惶诚恐的低头不敢看她。
“带路吧，这趟或许就该到摊牌的时候了。” 陈芸熙淡淡道。
她记得自己曾经很爱很爱路胜，就仿佛没有他，自己就快活不下去一般。
但后来，分开的时间太久，或许是时间，或许是感情本就有极限，这份爱慢慢淡了，而到现在，她仅仅只是如同一种任务，一种责任了。
爱什么的，或许还有，但很淡很淡。
新梅抬头轻轻看了眼陈芸熙，总感觉如今的芸熙小姐，对什么事都看得格外冷静清淡，就仿佛对什么都不在乎一般。
她带着路，领着陈芸熙一路朝瀚海阁走去。
半路上不时有侍女和路府的其他下人路过，见到陈芸熙时，都连忙毕恭毕敬的低头屈膝，朝她行礼。
毕竟这位可是如今路府族长的平妻，虽然不是正妻，但地位身份都是能和组长大人说得上话的贵人。 没人敢轻易招惹。
陈芸熙不以为意，一路毫不停歇，穿过数座花园，越过几座石桥池塘，终于来到一座三尖屋顶的收藏阁楼。
瀚海阁是路府专门用来收藏各式各样罕见之物的地方，这里门禁森严，除了路胜和稍有的几个路府高层外，其余人都不能进出。
陈芸熙也没有这个资格。
她才进门，便在第一层的右侧座椅上，看到了正缓缓喝茶的路胜。
除了他之外，再没有其他人。
陈芸熙被气息一激，心头微微有些慌乱，原本平静已久的心湖也有些不知所措起来。
她能够感觉到路胜的视线在她身上缓缓游弋，自己就如同草原上被狮子摁住，无法动弹的小鹿。
以至于她进门后气息都有些不顺畅。
路胜也有些叹息，他已经尽量的压制自身气息了，但因为吞噬神兵太多，身上残留的奇异煞气越来越重，这股气息就算是他的阴极态，也居然也无法彻底压制。
而陈芸熙就是个普通人，顶多算是修炼了外功的江湖好手，两人甚至都快是两个物种了，能够做到这个份上，已经算很厉害了。
他回想起自己和通昇圣主一起游历的这几个月，在通昇圣主的安抚遮掩下。 两人的强势气息，竟然真的如同凡人一般，毫无泄露，衣食住行，没人能发觉两人压根就不是普通人。 而真的只以为他们是爷孙两。
“比起通昇前辈，我还有很多路要走啊.....”路胜心中叹息，从玉星到神慧这个层面，需要积累的路很久很久，短的圣主只花几十年就结束了，长的甚至上千年都还没通过，很多圣主几乎就是一辈子卡在这里，无力再进。
这不现实。 从通昇那里得到的信息来看，要想踏入神慧，就要对自己的核心法，也就是冥炎，有从内到外，彻彻底底的掌握，掌握其所有变化，所有规律。
这些都不是短时间能搞清楚的，需要在不同的环境，不同的影响下，去做实验。 去试探尝试，才有可能掌握了解。
他一口气达到这个程度，已经是前无古人后无来者。
回过神来，路胜凝神看向陈芸熙。
“我们有多久没有这么安静轻松的聊天了？” 他看着这个被自己耽误的女子，心中只有怜惜。
陈芸熙虽然是自己追求的他，但她将自己一辈子最好的年纪献给了路家，献给了他。 甚至为此还守了这么久的活寡。
好在如今他终于有办法解决这个问题了。
陈芸熙沉默了下。
“记不清了，你叫我来，是有什么话想说么？”
路胜也沉寂了下，随即轻叹了口气。 “从成亲到现在，我们还没有夫妻之实吧？”
陈芸熙一愣。 “夫妻之实？
这样的两个人，就算都相互有心，可夫妻之实又怎么能真的实现？
“我.....”难道路胜已经能解决这个问题了？ 陈芸熙一时间脑子轰然一声，各种杂乱情绪一下全涌上来。
她心乱如麻，和自己爱的人一起生活，本就是她曾经最向往的事，而如今当这个目标突然一下子摆放在自己面前，她有忽然有些害怕，有些畏惧。
这点我想你也必须清楚。” 路胜继续道，“你的体质，就算有内气，有神兵辐射，也顶多只能活两百岁，再多是不可能了....而我有足足数千年寿命。”
“我.....”陈芸熙再度开口，却还是不知道该说什么好。
她低头，视线闭上，又缓缓睁开，凝视着自己修长完美的双腿从裙摆下露出一小截。
小腿上白得晃眼的细腻肌肤，在经常锻炼习武的情况下，显得更加紧致有光泽，犹如上等的白玉。
陈芸熙渐渐平复心头的情绪。 “我感觉不到你还爱我，确实如你所说，就算离婚，路府也不可能放我离开。 不过那又如何？
“你还不明白么？” 路胜站起身，“这是我欠你的，你本该有属于自己的美好，是我耽误了你，所以我要补偿。”
我不奢求更多，我只想平静的继续生活，你休不休我，我都无所谓，我现在什么都不想，只想安静的生活。” 陈芸熙摇头，抬眼看着慢慢走近的路胜，眼神一如既往的平静如水。
她顿了顿，伸手将下巴边的一缕发丝轻轻理开。
“我在路府，在你身边，看到了很多精彩的世界，很多很多以前的我不可能接触到的地方，这样的生活，我很喜欢。
还有在北地时，在大宋时，若不是你，不是路家，我爹他们也会被魔灾牵连，或许早就家破人亡也说不定。
这些，都是我应该感谢你的。
另外，就算我被你休了，也不大可能有人来招惹我，起码我接触到的层面里，没有人敢。
就算再高一级，再高一级，再高再高，也不会有人敢，所以你大可放心，就算我们离婚，我也不会再去找别的...啊！
“废话太多了，先给我生个孩子再说！”
“放开我！
陈芸熙一个不小心，话没说完便被扛起来，等她反应过来，拳打脚踢的疯狂捶打路胜，但武力值太弱导致她毫无反抗之力。
衣裙瞬间被扯裂，陈芸熙只穿着内衣，转身便想朝门外逃去，但被路胜一把抓住条腿，往后硬拖着上了大床，随着一声劲风飞过，内室大门轰然关上。
云雨之后，路胜单手托着陈芸熙的白皙臀部，将其直接抱在右胸，站起身。
刚才尽兴之时，他直接稍微变身了下，身体膨胀成近三米，虽然没有完全恢复本体，但也算是半恢复状态。
运起天妖花经术后，路胜也感觉到前所未有的感受，这次之后，或许真的能让陈芸熙怀上自己的种。
内室内墙壁上嵌入的油灯摇摇晃晃，映照出两人此时的怪异形态。
近三米高的路胜如同强壮至极的猛兽，浑身肌肉如同钢铁，原本披肩的长发，在长高后，只算是披散下来，看上去有些狂野而已。 只是恢复本体导致一些关键地方，如膝盖，肩膀，胸膛，都浮现淡淡的防护鳞甲，看起来狰狞凶悍。
而只有一米七左右的陈芸熙，在路胜手上，却犹如白皙精致的柔弱瓷器，全身香汗淋漓，两眼翻白，毫无力气的紧贴在路胜身上。
她雪白的酮体在有些暗淡的灯光下，和路胜泛黑的强悍肉身，形成怪异的均衡美感。

Chapter 430 - Achievement (1)
Autumn Moon County Capital, Lu Family Mansion.
Chen Yunxi held a short sword in her hand and moved around in her own courtyard, continuously practicing the Sun Chasing Sword Technique she just learned.
After a while of practice, Chen Yunxi finally stopped, and sheathed her sword. Her brows were tightly locked, not knowing how to continue. “Dong, dong, dong.”
Someone knocked on the courtyard gate. “Lady Yunxi, the head of the family is back, and asked me to bring you to the Vast Ocean Loft.”
Chen Yunxi raised her brows. She put down her sword, went back to wash her hair, and put on a delicate yellow dress before leaving.
Xin Mei stood outside with her head lowered, not daring to look at her. “Lady Yunxi…”
“Lead the way, maybe it’s finally time for this to end,” Chen Yunxi said flatly.
She remembered loving Lu Sheng, even to the point where she couldn’t live without him.
But then, after a long period of separation, that love faded. Maybe because of time, maybe because love had its limits. The only thing left in her was a sense of duty and responsibility.
Maybe love still existed, but it was very, very faint.
Xin Mei raised her head to glance at Chen Yunxi, and felt that Lady Chenxi nowadays looked at everything so calmly and apathetically like she had stopped caring.
She led Chen Yunxi toward the Vast Ocean Loft.
Oftentimes, servants and maids of the mansion bowed and courtseyed toward Chen Yunxi.
She was the spouse of the family head, so even though she wasn’t his principal wife, she enjoyed a position simply because she could talk to the family head. No one would dare anger her needlessly.
Chen Yunxi didn’t respond, and continued on her way. After crossing through multiple gardens and several bridges over ponds, they finally arrived at a three story loft.
The Vast Ocean Loft was the Lu Family Mansion’s place for storing all kind of rare items. The place was usually under heavy guard, and aside from Lu Sheng and some other high-ranking members of the family, no one was allowed to enter.
Chen Yunxi was one of those not allowed to enter.
She immediately saw Lu Sheng sitting on the chair to the right as she entered. No one else was present.
Looking from afar, he had a savage air about him.
Chen Yunxi was a little shocked by the air as her heart skipped a beat. Her mind, which had been calm for so long, started to ripple again.
She could feel Lu Sheng’s eyes moving across her body as if she was a deer that was tightly held under a lion’s paw.
The feeling was strong to the point where breathing was becoming hard for her.
Lu Sheng sighed. He was trying his best to suppress his aura, but because he had consumed too many Divine Weapons, the strange evil aura lingering around him also became stronger. Even in his Extreme Yin Form, he somehow couldn’t hide it completely.
While Chen Yunxi was only an ordinary mortal at best, she was someone who was well-trained in martial arts. The two of them were almost like two separate species at this point, and it was impressive of him to even achieve this.
He thought back to the journey with Divine Lord Tong Sheng that lasted several months. Under the cover of Divine Lord Tong Sheng, the powerful aura around the two was somehow disguised to appear like that of ordinary mortals, without a single flaw. In their everyday lives, no one realized that the two were anything but mortal, and rather saw them as grandfather and grandson.
‘I still have a long road ahead of me compared to Senior Tong Sheng… ‘ Lu Sheng sighed again in his heart. The road between Jade Star and Divine Intellect was long and hard. It might only take a few decades for some, but for others it might take more than a century. Many Divine Lords might even spend their entire life stuck on the path, unable to progress any further.
Lu Sheng didn’t think he could achieve a breakthrough to Divine Intellect in a few years. That wasn’t realistic. According to the information given to him by Tong Sheng, to achieve Divine Intellect, he had to have a thorough understanding as well as complete control over all the changes and patterns of his Core Law Death Blaze.
None of that could be understood in a short period of time; besides, it required experimentation in different environments and conditions. He needed to go through countless trials to explore all the possibilities.
Achieving what he had in such a short period of time was unprecedented already.
When he finally came out of his thoughts, Lu Sheng stared at Chen Yunxi.
“How long has it been since we’ve had the time to chat quietly like this?” His eyes were filled with sympathy and regret as he stared at the girl whose life was held up because of him.
Even though Chen Yunxi was the one to chase after him, she gave the best years of her life to the Lu Family, to him. She even had to live estranged for so long.
Luckily, he finally had a solution to the problem now.
Chen Yunxi was silent.
“I can’t remember. Is there something you want to tell me?”
Lu Sheng fell silent as well, then sighed lightly. “We haven’t done our duty as husband and wife yet since our marriage, have we?”
Chen Yunxi blanked out. “Duty as husband and wife?!”
How could two people like that, even if they had each other in their heart, truly be husband and wife?
“I…” Did Lu Sheng find a solution to that problem? Chen Yunxi felt like something just exploded in her brain as all sorts of emotions came out in a frenzy.
Her heart was a like a coil of tangled rope. Living with someone she loved was once her dream, but now that this dream suddenly came true, she suddenly felt a little afraid.
“In truth, I wouldn’t let you go whether you love me or not. I think you understand that very well,” Lu Sheng continued. “Your body, even with Inner Qi and the radiation of a Divine Weapon, would last 200 years at most… While I have more than several centuries of life span.”
“I…” Chen Yunxi opened her mouth again, but didn’t know what to say.
She lowered her head, closed her eyes, then reopened them and stared at the perfect legs showing under her dress.
The skin on her shin was so white and delicate it was almost shining, and seemed even more fit and light after her constant training, like the rarest of jade.
“I can’t feel that you still love me. Like you said, even if we divorce, the Lu Family would never allow me to leave. But why does that matter? Just pretend I don’t exist. The Autumn Moon County and even the whole Moling Prefecture has countless beautiful women, why would you care about a mortal girl like me?”

She paused as she pushed aside a strand of hair on her chin.
“In the Lu Family Mansion, next to you, I was able to see a beautiful world, places I would never had the chance to go to. I like this life.
“In the North, back in the Great Song, if it weren’t for you and the Lu Family, my dad and my family would have been devastated by the Devil Calamity. They would probably be dead by now.
“All of that, I have you to thank for.
“Besides, even if you divorce me, there is little chance people will bother me, at least around my level.
“Even one level higher, or two, or however many, very few would dare bother me. Rest assured. Even if we divorce, I wouldn’t find another— AGH!! What are you doing!?”
“Too much talk, give me a kid first!”
“Let me go! Aghh!! Release me!!”
Chen Yunxi was swooped up before she could realize what was going on, and when she finally reacted, her fist was useless on Lu Sheng. Amid her screaming, she was carried to an inner chamber.
“Ripppp.” Her dress was instantly ripped apart. Chen Yunxi was only wearing her undergarments, and tried to run out of the room. But Lu Sheng grabbed her legs and dragged her onto the big bed, while the door slammed shut with a heavy wind.
After the rain finished, Lu Sheng held Chen Yunxi’s pale butt in one hand, carried her onto his chest, and stood up.
He changed slightly just then because of the excitement. His body was nearly three meters tall, and even though it still wasn’t his true form, it was halfway through.
After using the Heavenly Demon’s Blooming Channel Technique, Lu Sheng finally experienced something he never had before. Maybe after this, Chen Yunxi would be pregnant with his heir.
The shaky oil lamp in the wall reflected the strange shape of the two.
The nearly three meter tall Lu Sheng appeared like a powerful beast, the muscle on his body like steel. The usual shoulder-length hair looked only slightly longer than normal after the growth, looking somewhat wild. Unfortunately, returning to his original form caused certain parts like his knees, chest, and shoulders to grow a faint layer of protective scales, appearing savage and cruel.
Meanwhile, Chen Yunxi, who was only 1.7 meters tall, appeared like a delicate vase in Lu Sheng’s hands. Her body was drenched in sweat, and her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she powerlessly leaned tightly against Lu Sheng. Obviously, she was past her limit.
Her snow white body formed a strange and beautiful balance with Lu Sheng’s dark and powerful body in the dim light.

They shattered under the impact and were ripped apart, bearing large holes.\nCrack! A large blade violently struck the shoulder of the Mythril Foundation Armor, leaving a deep indention. A violent breaking sound came from Long Haochen’s shoulder, and his whole left side went numb.\nBang! Lifting up his knee, he parried another huge cone aimed at Cai’er’s lower abdomen. The Mythril Foundation Armor was in the end not omnipotent, and one could watch Long Haochen’s left leg being twisted backwards. It was visibly fractured.\nBut even then, his eyes still had the same look. Resolutely rushing to the side, he used his right hand that was still able to move to grab Cai’er. Long Haochen slung his arm around her waist and used his broad back to stop the purple ball of light aimed at her.\nIn the midst of a terrible explosion, Long Haochen unexpectedly didn’t let Cai’er sustain any damage, but he couldn’t help but spit a mouthful of blood staining the helmet of his Mythril Foundation Armor. He only could do this because, every time he met an attack, his chest bubbled forth with a golden light protecting him. Otherwise, he would already have been torn to shreds by these demons.\nA shout of extreme anger, proud, unwilling and full of rancor, abruptly resonated all around, and a massive purple glint of light abruptly shot out from Haoyue. Be it Ah’Bao or all the other present demons, all were monstrously dispersed by that purple radiance.\nAh’Bao’s expression was finally filled with distinct shock, “Argh, die!” His voice was trembling for the first time.\nWith a loud bellow, Haoyue finally turned all his heads to look at Long Haochen.\nLooking at him, Long Haochen finally activated that golden skull on his chest, producing an intense golden light enveloping Cai’er, Haoyue and him. Right then, the last grey radiance finally fused into Cai’er’s body, and Cai’er’s right hand firmly grasped that massive grey scythe.\nWith a golden flash of light the two humans and the beast instantly disappeared, only leaving behind the purple glint in the sky as the Eternal Melody teleported them to the Tower of Eternity.\n“Escaped? They actually escaped?!” Ah’Bao bellowed searching the sky, but his eyes were filled with fear. Right, that was fear. This fear wasn’t brought to him by Long Haochen, but that final purple radiance.\nBesieged by six teams of Demon Hunter Removers, the two Demon Hunter Squads finally escaped without a single casualty. Not only that, they managed to seize Yue Ye in the process, and took the life of eight Demon Hunter Removers. This battle could be said to be a crushing defeat for Ah’Bao.\n“All of you stay here to deal with the aftermath!” Ah’Bao let out a low cry, flapped the pair of wings on his back, and soared to the sky. Not even giving himself the time to recover from his injuries, he directly rushed back in the direction of Modu Core City.\nTower of Eternity.\nYue Ye stood there, with a blank look on her face. Since Long Haochen teleported her to this place, she was in this state of fear.\nA strong deathly breath filled the air. It wasn’t the same reek of death as from the darkness element, but an incomparable deathly stillness, emanating a feeling of imminent death.\nShe clearly remembered Long Haochen’s instructions, and thus didn’t dare move in the slightest ever since arriving. She only stood there, completely stiff.\nFortunately, the ice-cold murderous intent from Cai’er that almost froze her blood disappeared gradually in this place.\nCan… Can they make it back alive? Yue ye didn’t know how she should be feeling at this time. For her sake, Ah’Bao was willing to give the two Demon Hunt Squads the chance to escape, so staying unmoved by that was impossible for her. However, she was all the more unwilling to see Long Haochen and Cai’er die, and that was not only because of the restriction placed on her. Time passed very, very slowly, and Yue Ye sunk into a blank state here.\nFinally, after some time passed, a golden glint suddenly pierced the dimness, and immediately, a huge beast and two figures appeared in front of her.\nLong Haochen fell to the ground right after appearing, and Cai’er was still in that straightened posture. Haoyue’s four heads dropped to the ground right after appearing, and he lay down, his eyes closing. His body still emitted a faint purple glow. Right before falling deep asleep, Little Light raised his head with difficulty, casting a golden radiance on Long Haochen, providing healing for his body.\nHe… Why did he sustain such severe injuries? Since he could teleport here, how did that happen?\nStaring lifelessly at the unconscious Long Haochen, she was completely unsure of what she should do.\nAfter a long time, she came back to her senses, feeling ashamed, and rushed to Long Haochen’s side with haste. Crouching down beside him, she carefully examined his condition.\nFrom the Mythril Foundation Armor covering Long Haochen’s entire body, blood was constantly seeping out.\nThe Mythril Foundation Armor had a very detailed design, with every part of it blending well with the others. Looking for a long time, Yue Ye finally found an opening below his armpit, and carefully opened the armor bit after bit.\nWith a glint of silver light, the Mythril Foundation Armor separated itself from Long Haochen’s body and returned to the shape of a silver box, exuding soft undulations of light, while it regenerated itself.\nWhen Yue Ye saw the state of Long Haochen below his armor, she couldn’t help but feel a cold shiver run down her spine.\nThe current Long Haochen was in a desolate conditions. Deep wounds covered his whole left shoulder. The flesh was totally lacerated, and even his bones were visible. His body was completely covered in blood, and his left leg strangely bent. His whole back was pierced with blood continuously leaking out from his mouth and nose. His handsome face was deathly pale.\nEven a formidable priest would be helpless when encountering such serious damage. The most severe injuries were his crushed bones, and his continuous loss of blood from the countless wounds.\nYue Ye very cautiously examined Long Haochen’s breath and heartbeat.\nHis breath seemed imperceptible, and his heartbeat very weak. On his chest, the necklace with the golden skull radiated a soft light, as if protecting his heart. It preserved his life, but after sustaining serious damage, Yue Ye didn’t know how he could get healed. In particular, regarding the damage on his bones, if something turned out badly, it could end with lifelong deformities.\nCai’er still stood on his side, preserving her initial posture, but the murderous spirit emitted from her showed unstable fluctuations and her body was also trembling lightly.\nDuring the last moment of her awakening, although she already absorbed all of the inheritance bestowed upon her, she was in the end forcefully teleported to another space without having completed her harmonization, thus her spiritual energy was in chaos.\n“What’s to be done? What’s to be done?!” Yue Ye anxiously looked at Long Haochen, as agitated as a cat. Being of the darkness element, she didn’t dare try to help by healing Long Haochen, since this would only have the opposite effect.\nDuring the battle against Ah’Bao, it looked as if Long Haochen wasn’t losing but in truth, he was no match for Ah’Bao. The gap in spiritual energy between the two of them was too wide, and moreover, with Ah’Bao being the successor of the Devil Dragon Clan.\nAt the start of that battle, Long Haochen had stealthily taken the newly created Spiritual Ignition Pill made by Lin Xin, stirring one’s potential to an extreme extent.\nThis Spiritual Ignition Pills didn’t produce an amplification as great as the Spiritual Bursting Pills, but their duration was very long, and their amplifying effect was incredible. But it had even stronger side-effects. By squeezing out excessive potential, it could very possibly cause permanent wounds.\nSo that his comrades would be able to leave from there alive, Long Haochen was already doing his utmost starting from back then. Although he successfully broke through to the seventh step, the excessive overdraft made him enter an extremely dangerous state. In the last moments, to defend Cai’er, and give her have as much time as possible for her awakening, Long Haochen didn’t spare any cost to act as Cai’er’s shield. Otherwise, if she couldn’t completely absorb the power from her inheritance, her life would very possibly have been in immediate danger.\nAlthough the current Long Haochen was nearing death, his face portrayed a calm smile. All those years ago, he told his father that he wanted to become a Guardian Knight because he wanted to protect the people he cared for. And today he managed to accomplish that. For his beloved Cai’er, he nearly sacrificed his own life.\nIf not for Haoyue’s pleading and the his look filled with despair on Haoyue’s face, combined with and Long Haochen’s consideration of his safety, he would probably even have endured it even persevered for longer here.\nA god’s chosen one was still a person, and would therefore also die when inflicted with mortal wounds. Long Haochen had the protection of the Eternal Melody, the Mythril Foundation Armor, and could share some of the damage dealt to him with his comrades, but his vitality was still rapidly decreasing.\nThe serious internal and external wounds were stripping him off his life energy, and as the ignition of his soul was gradually receding, even his powerful soul was in danger to dissolve.\nRight as Yue Ye didn’t know what she should do, and wanted to help by at least bandaging some of Long Haochen’s wounds, a grudgeful voice suddenly resounded, “I really didn’t want to come to such a nasty and deathly place. What have you been doing to end up in this state?”\nUnder Yue Ye’s shocked eyes, a faint green radiance bubbled forth from Long Haochen’s stomach. And this green radiance was filled with the breath of life. As the green light was bundling up, a green colored gate was gradually formed, from which a slim and fair little bare foot appeared, stepping out from that bright gate."

第一百四十二章
一柄黑色长矛悄无声息的戈，破长空，没有攻向龙皓晨，而是直接飞向处于觉冇醒最后时刻的采儿。
金色灵翼舒展，全力抽击在那长矛之上，硬是将那长矛甩飞了出去，但是，那金色灵翼也不堪重负，被撕裂出了一道长长的口子。
“噗”一柄长刀狠狠的砍在秘银基座战铠的肩铠之上，铠甲凹陷，龙皓晨肩头骨骼顿时发出一声破碎的爆裂声，整条左臂完全软了下去。
“砰”膝盖抬起，与一柄攻向采儿小腹的巨锥碰撞在一起，秘银基座战铠也并不是万能的，能够清楚的看到，龙皓晨左腿小腿向后扭曲着扬起，显然已经是断裂了。
猛然来到侧面。 用还能动的右手一把搂住采儿腰间，用自己宽阔的后背挡住了一团紫色光球的轰击。 恐怖的轰鸣声中，龙皓晨居然还能硬撑着没有让自己的身体压到采儿口但是，一口鲜血却不可避免的喷在了秘银基座战铠的头盔之内。
这还是因为每次他遇到攻击时，胸口处都会涌出一团金光，保护着他，否则，恐怕他已经被这些魔族撕碎了。
充斥着愤怒、高傲、不甘和怨毒的怒吼声骤然响彻全场，一股庞大的紫色光芒骤然从皓月身上爆发出来，无论是阿宝还是其他所有魔族，在这紫色光芒荡漾之下都如中鬼魅般四散飞逃。
阿宝的眼神中流露着明显的骇然之色，“是、去”，”他的声音竟是第一次颤抖了。
皓月四颗大头在发出这一声怒吼后，全都扭头看向龙皓晨。
龙皓晨的眼神与它相对，终于激发了自己胸口处那颗金色的骷髅头。 浓郁的金光将他和采儿以及皓月笼罩在内。
金光一闪，两人一兽的身形瞬间消失，只留下了那在空气中回荡的紫意与永恒旋律传送的光晕。
可是，在他的眼神之中，却流露出了恐惧的情绪，没错，就是恐惧。 这份恐惧显然不是龙皓晨带给他的，而是最后那荡漾的紫意。
还损失了八名除猎魔的告命。 这一战，可以说是阿宝他们大败亏输。 “你们留下善后。”
阿宝低沉的怒吼一声，背后双翼拍动，腾空而起，也不将自己伤势治好，直接朝着魔都心城的方向飞去。
永恒之塔。
月夜呆呆的站在那里，当她被龙皓晨传送到这里后，她就陷入了恐惧之中。
浓郁的死亡气息弥漫，不同于黑暗的寂灭，而是一种无法名状的死寂。 仿佛下一刻死亡即将来临一般。
她清楚的记得龙皓晨的吩咐，所以在来到这里后，她一动都不敢动，就只是这么僵硬的站着。
幸好，采儿之前那险些令她血液凝固的冰冷杀机也在这充满死寂的地方渐渐消失。
阿宝为了她甘愿放弃围杀两支猎魔团的机会，说不感动那是不可能的。 可是，她更不希望龙皓晨和采儿死掉，不只是因为她自身的禁制口孤寂中，时间过的很慢、很慢，月夜就在一种茫然不知所措的情绪中发呆。 终于，不知道过了多少时间。
一道金光骤然闪亮，紧接着，一大两小，三个身影就突然出现在她面前。
龙皓晨是直接倒在地上出现的，采儿则依旧是那么直挺挺的站着。
皓月四颗大头再回到这里后就垂了下去，闭上眼睛。
月夜有些呆滞的看着昏迷在地的龙皓晨，她完全不知道自己该如何是好。
足足愣了半晌，她才惭渐清醒过来，带着强烈的震惊快步来到龙皓晨身边，蹲下冇身体。
龙皓晨全身都包覆在秘银基座战铠之中，身上隐隐有股血腥味儿散发出来。
秘银基座战铠设计精密，浑然一体。 月夜寻找了半天，才在两侧腋下找到开启铠甲的机括，小心翼翼的一点一点将秘银基座战铠打开。
银光闪耀，脱离了龙皓晨身体的秘银基座战铠迅速凝聚成银色箱子的样子，自身散发着柔和的光元素波动，显然是在自行修复着。
当月夜看到铠甲内龙皓晨的样子时，不禁倒吸一口凉气。
此时的龙皓晨看上去实在是太惨烈了。 左侧肩膀处有一个深深的四痕，皮开肉绽，甚至连骨头茬子都翻了出来，他的身体已经被鲜血染红了，右腿诡异的扭曲着，整个后背上部塌陷，鲜血不断从他的口、鼻、耳中流出。 英俊的面庞一片雪白。
这样的重伤，哪怕是有强大的牧师在这里恐怕也要束手无策，三处最严重的伤都是粉碎性骨折，骨格破碎成不知多少碎片，而且还在不断的失血。
月夜小心翼翼的探查了一下龙皓晨的鼻息和心跳。
鼻息几不可闻，但还有微弱的心跳。 在他胸口位置，金色的骷髅头挂坠散发着柔和光晕，似乎是护住了他的内脏，这才保住了一条性命，只是，他如此重伤，月夜也不知该怎样帮他治疗了。 尤其是骨骼上的伤势，一个不好，就会导致终身残废。
采儿依旧呆立在一旁，保持着原本的动作，但她身上的杀气却极不稳定的波动着，身体也同样在轻微颤抖。
觉冇醒最后时刻，她虽然已经吸收了所有传承，但却终究未曾完成融合就强行进入了空间传送过程，自身灵力处于紊乱状态。
怎么办？” 月夜焦急的看着龙皓晨的样子，急得如同热锅上的蚂蚁，她是暗属性，根本不敢帮龙皓晨治疗，否则只会起到反作用。
与阿宝一战，看上去龙皓晨没有输，可实际上他终究不是阿宝的对手。 两人的灵力差距实在是太大了，阿宝更拥有着逆天魔龙族的传承。
龙皓晨在战斗开始之前，就悄悄服用了林鑫最新炼制成功的一种名为燃灵丹的丹药，极度的压榨了自身潜能。
这种燃灵丹不像爆灵丹那样增幅迅猛，但增幅的时间却很长，增幅效果也是相当强悍，但它也有着更强的副作用，如果压榨的潜力过多，那么，甚至会形成永久性创伤。
为了伙伴们能够活着离开，龙皓晨已是竭尽所能，虽然成功突破了七阶，但过度的透支也令他陷入了极为危险的境地。 而最后时刻，为了保护采儿，尽可能让她觉冇醒的时间多一些，龙皓晨更是不惜以身体作采儿的盾牌。
虽然此时的龙皓晨已是濒死状态，但在他嘴角处却流露着一丝淡淡的微笑。 当年，他告诉父亲，自己要成为一名守护骑士的理由就是希望能够守护自己想要守护的人。 而今天他确实做到了，为了采儿，他险些牺牲了自己的生命啊！
如果不是最后皓月近乎绝望的眼神注视，龙皓晨顾及到它的安危，他甚至还会再多坚持！ 会儿。
神眷者依旧是人，受到致命伤害也一样会死，龙皓晨有永恒旋律护体，有秘银基座战铠护身，更有着同伴们分担伤害，可他此时的生命力却依旧在迅速流逝着。
内外交困的严重伤势正在剥夺着他的生命，燃冇烧的生命火焰也正在渐渐熄灭，就连他那强大的灵魂之火都已经开始徐徐溃散了。
就在月夜不知该如何是好，想要尝试着帮龙皓晨包扎一下伤势的时候，一个有些怨怼的声音突然响起，“真不想来这个充满死亡气息的肮脏之地。
搞什么嘛，弄成这个样子。” 紧接着，在月夜吃惊的注视下，从龙皓晨小腹处涌出一团淡淡的绿色光芒，那是充满了生命气息的绿色。 绿光在空中飘荡，渐渐形成一扇绿色光门，一只纤细白嫩未穿鞋袜的小脚，就那么从光门中迈了出来。

Chapter 409: The Body as a Shield (I)
A black spear quietly struck from the vast sky, but it was not aiming at Long Haochen but at Cai’er, who was in the last moments of her awakening.
Desperately spreading his golden spiritual wings to meet that spear with full force, Long Haochen forcibly deflected it, but the golden spiritual wings also couldn’t bear this heavy burden. They shattered under the impact and were ripped apart, bearing large holes.
Crack! A large blade violently struck the shoulder of the Mythril Foundation Armor, leaving a deep indention. A violent breaking sound came from Long Haochen’s shoulder, and his whole left side went numb.
Bang! Lifting up his knee, he parried another huge cone aimed at Cai’er’s lower abdomen. The Mythril Foundation Armor was in the end not omnipotent, and one could watch Long Haochen’s left leg being twisted backwards. It was visibly fractured.
But even then, his eyes still had the same look. Resolutely rushing to the side, he used his right hand that was still able to move to grab Cai’er. Long Haochen slung his arm around her waist and used his broad back to stop the purple ball of light aimed at her.
In the midst of a terrible explosion, Long Haochen unexpectedly didn’t let Cai’er sustain any damage, but he couldn’t help but spit a mouthful of blood staining the helmet of his Mythril Foundation Armor. He only could do this because, every time he met an attack, his chest bubbled forth with a golden light protecting him. Otherwise, he would already have been torn to shreds by these demons.
A shout of extreme anger, proud, unwilling and full of rancor, abruptly resonated all around, and a massive purple glint of light abruptly shot out from Haoyue. Be it Ah’Bao or all the other present demons, all were monstrously dispersed by that purple radiance.
Ah’Bao’s expression was finally filled with distinct shock, “Argh, die!” His voice was trembling for the first time.
With a loud bellow, Haoyue finally turned all his heads to look at Long Haochen.
Looking at him, Long Haochen finally activated that golden skull on his chest, producing an intense golden light enveloping Cai’er, Haoyue and him. Right then, the last grey radiance finally fused into Cai’er’s body, and Cai’er’s right hand firmly grasped that massive grey scythe.
With a golden flash of light the two humans and the beast instantly disappeared, only leaving behind the purple glint in the sky as the Eternal Melody teleported them to the Tower of Eternity.
“Escaped? They actually escaped?!” Ah’Bao bellowed searching the sky, but his eyes were filled with fear. Right, that was fear. This fear wasn’t brought to him by Long Haochen, but that final purple radiance.
Besieged by six teams of Demon Hunter Removers, the two Demon Hunter Squads finally escaped without a single casualty. Not only that, they managed to seize Yue Ye in the process, and took the life of eight Demon Hunter Removers. This battle could be said to be a crushing defeat for Ah’Bao.
“All of you stay here to deal with the aftermath!” Ah’Bao let out a low cry, flapped the pair of wings on his back, and soared to the sky. Not even giving himself the time to recover from his injuries, he directly rushed back in the direction of Modu Core City.
Tower of Eternity.
Yue Ye stood there, with a blank look on her face. Since Long Haochen teleported her to this place, she was in this state of fear.
A strong deathly breath filled the air. It wasn’t the same reek of death as from the darkness element, but an incomparable deathly stillness, emanating a feeling of imminent death.
She clearly remembered Long Haochen’s instructions, and thus didn’t dare move in the slightest ever since arriving. She only stood there, completely stiff.
Fortunately, the ice-cold murderous intent from Cai’er that almost froze her blood disappeared gradually in this place.
Can… Can they make it back alive? Yue ye didn’t know how she should be feeling at this time. For her sake, Ah’Bao was willing to give the two Demon Hunt Squads the chance to escape, so staying unmoved by that was impossible for her. However, she was all the more unwilling to see Long Haochen and Cai’er die, and that was not only because of the restriction placed on her. Time passed very, very slowly, and Yue Ye sunk into a blank state here.
Finally, after some time passed, a golden glint suddenly pierced the dimness, and immediately, a huge beast and two figures appeared in front of her.
Long Haochen fell to the ground right after appearing, and Cai’er was still in that straightened posture. Haoyue’s four heads dropped to the ground right after appearing, and he lay down, his eyes closing. His body still emitted a faint purple glow. Right before falling deep asleep, Little Light raised his head with difficulty, casting a golden radiance on Long Haochen, providing healing for his body.
He… Why did he sustain such severe injuries? Since he could teleport here, how did that happen?
Staring lifelessly at the unconscious Long Haochen, she was completely unsure of what she should do.
After a long time, she came back to her senses, feeling ashamed, and rushed to Long Haochen’s side with haste. Crouching down beside him, she carefully examined his condition.
From the Mythril Foundation Armor covering Long Haochen’s entire body, blood was constantly seeping out.
The Mythril Foundation Armor had a very detailed design, with every part of it blending well with the others. Looking for a long time, Yue Ye finally found an opening below his armpit, and carefully opened the armor bit after bit.
With a glint of silver light, the Mythril Foundation Armor separated itself from Long Haochen’s body and returned to the shape of a silver box, exuding soft undulations of light, while it regenerated itself.
When Yue Ye saw the state of Long Haochen below his armor, she couldn’t help but feel a cold shiver run down her spine.
The current Long Haochen was in a desolate conditions. Deep wounds covered his whole left shoulder. The flesh was totally lacerated, and even his bones were visible. His body was completely covered in blood, and his left leg strangely bent. His whole back was pierced with blood continuously leaking out from his mouth and nose. His handsome face was deathly pale.
Even a formidable priest would be helpless when encountering such serious damage. The most severe injuries were his crushed bones, and his continuous loss of blood from the countless wounds.
Yue Ye very cautiously examined Long Haochen’s breath and heartbeat.
His breath seemed imperceptible, and his heartbeat very weak. On his chest, the necklace with the golden skull radiated a soft light, as if protecting his heart. It preserved his life, but after sustaining serious damage, Yue Ye didn’t know how he could get healed. In particular, regarding the damage on his bones, if something turned out badly, it could end with lifelong deformities.
Cai’er still stood on his side, preserving her initial posture, but the murderous spirit emitted from her showed unstable fluctuations and her body was also trembling lightly.
During the last moment of her awakening, although she already absorbed all of the inheritance bestowed upon her, she was in the end forcefully teleported to another space without having completed her harmonization, thus her spiritual energy was in chaos.
“What’s to be done? What’s to be done?!” Yue Ye anxiously looked at Long Haochen, as agitated as a cat. Being of the darkness element, she didn’t dare try to help by healing Long Haochen, since this would only have the opposite effect.
During the battle against Ah’Bao, it looked as if Long Haochen wasn’t losing but in truth, he was no match for Ah’Bao. The gap in spiritual energy between the two of them was too wide, and moreover, with Ah’Bao being the successor of the Devil Dragon Clan.
At the start of that battle, Long Haochen had stealthily taken the newly created Spiritual Ignition Pill made by Lin Xin, stirring one’s potential to an extreme extent.
This Spiritual Ignition Pills didn’t produce an amplification as great as the Spiritual Bursting Pills, but their duration was very long, and their amplifying effect was incredible. But it had even stronger side-effects. By squeezing out excessive potential, it could very possibly cause permanent wounds.
So that his comrades would be able to leave from there alive, Long Haochen was already doing his utmost starting from back then. Although he successfully broke through to the seventh step, the excessive overdraft made him enter an extremely dangerous state. In the last moments, to defend Cai’er, and give her have as much time as possible for her awakening, Long Haochen didn’t spare any cost to act as Cai’er’s shield. Otherwise, if she couldn’t completely absorb the power from her inheritance, her life would very possibly have been in immediate danger.
Although the current Long Haochen was nearing death, his face portrayed a calm smile. All those years ago, he told his father that he wanted to become a Guardian Knight because he wanted to protect the people he cared for. And today he managed to accomplish that. For his beloved Cai’er, he nearly sacrificed his own life.
If not for Haoyue’s pleading and the his look filled with despair on Haoyue’s face, combined with and Long Haochen’s consideration of his safety, he would probably even have endured it even persevered for longer here.
A god’s chosen one was still a person, and would therefore also die when inflicted with mortal wounds. Long Haochen had the protection of the Eternal Melody, the Mythril Foundation Armor, and could share some of the damage dealt to him with his comrades, but his vitality was still rapidly decreasing.
The serious internal and external wounds were stripping him off his life energy, and as the ignition of his soul was gradually receding, even his powerful soul was in danger to dissolve.
Right as Yue Ye didn’t know what she should do, and wanted to help by at least bandaging some of Long Haochen’s wounds, a grudgeful voice suddenly resounded, “I really didn’t want to come to such a nasty and deathly place. What have you been doing to end up in this state?”
Under Yue Ye’s shocked eyes, a faint green radiance bubbled forth from Long Haochen’s stomach. And this green radiance was filled with the breath of life. As the green light was bundling up, a green colored gate was gradually formed, from which a slim and fair little bare foot appeared, stepping out from that bright gate.

"value": "Chapter 685: Strange Activity in the Palace, the Fifth Prince! I\nEdited by: Michyrr On the blustery summit, Wang Chong and Wei Anfang glanced at each other, both able to see the shock in each other's eyes.\n\"An Arabian princess?\"\n\"Was it on King Qi's order? So when they said that you weren't at the training camp, you were actually meeting with him?\"\nWang Chong had truly never imagined that Zhao Qianqiu would have sought him out for a matter like this. The Abbasid Caliphate was to the west of the Western Regions, extremely far from the Great Tang. Wang Chong did not remember anything like this happening in his last life.\nBut upon careful recollection, he did seem to remember that an Arabian princess had visited the Great Tang, but she had left very quickly, remaining for only a few days. Wang Chong had never met her, nor did he know what she looked like.\nAnd no Arabian princess had ever entered the training camps, much less mentioned his Deflecting Blade Manor by name.\n\"If only it was because of King Qi!\"\n\"The Three Great Training Camps were established by the will of His Majesty. If this really was the work of King Qi, I could have used His Majesty's order to stall the matter. Even if King Qi was angry, he would only be able to make life hard for me. But the one who came to ask for my help was the Chamberlain of Dependencies! And it was a senior who helped me once when I was going through hard times.\"\nThe hardest thing to repay in this world was a favor! And even more when it was a favor given when one was at their most downcast!\nMoreover, the Chamberlain of Dependencies was tasked with interacting with the foreign countries, and its duty was to receive their emissaries and diplomatic missions. The matter of the Arabian princess truly did fall under its scope. The Chamberlain of Dependencies naturally had to do its utmost to fulfill her requests.\nFrom this perspective, the Chamberlain of Dependencies was actually working for the sake of the Imperial Court, for the sake of the Great Tang. Zhao Qianqiu found it very hard to refuse its request.\n\"Wang Chong, if it's too difficult, just forget it. It's no big deal. I'll just go and explain things to that senior of mine,\" Zhao Qianqiu said.\n\"Difficult? Why would I feel it difficult?\"\n\"It's not every day that an Arabian princess wants to enter our Deflecting Blade Manor, so why refuse them? And besides, Anfang, you probably also haven't seen an Arabian princess!\"\n\"I have not!\"\n\"Arabians look completely different from us, with hawkish noses and deep eyes. However, their women are actually extremely beautiful, and I assume that the Arabian princess is no exception.\"\nThe expression in Wei Anfang's eyes was completely different from the words that he spoke. He was currently a budding talent at Wang Chong's side and was slowly beginning to receive the favor of his clan.\nHe was really only interested in one thing, and that was remaining by Wang Chong's side to accomplish even greater tasks.\nZhao Qianqiu and Zhou Huang hadn't expected Wang Chong to agree so easily, and the pair were beside themselves with happiness.\nFood and drink were brought out, and Wang Chong played the consummate host until Zhao Qianqiu and Zhou Huang finally departed.\n\"Young Master, do you really plan to let the Arabian princess enter our Deflecting Blade Manor?\"\n\"There's no problem with her entering Kunwu Training Camp, and it's not like we can do anything about the Imperial Court's arrangements. But why did that Arabian princess request entry into our Deflecting Blade Manor? This subordinate feels that those who visit don't have good intentions, and those who have good intentions wouldn't come!\"\n\"It's still too early to say anything. We haven't even seen the actual person. As for her goal, won't we know after meeting with her?\"\nWang Chong's eyes gleamed as he smiled.\nHe had some vague ideas about this Arabian princess, but he would need to meet her to confirm anything.\n\"I'll leave this place to you. I'm going to get some rest.\"\nTurning around, Wang Chong headed down the stairs and to his room. Creeeeaak!\nAs the door opened and Wang Chong walked in, before both of his feet could even cross the threshold, he was suddenly greeted by a gust of wind as a figure rushed over.\n\"By my ancestors, why did you come only now! I've been waiting for you for ages.\"\nLi Jingzhong's hands clutched Wang Chong's sleeve, his eyes blazing with concern.\n\"Haha, aren't I here now? And I just arrived at Kunwu Training Camp. If I didn't handle some matters, wouldn't that make people suspicious?\"\nWang Chong remained composed and laid-back. After closing the door, he walked straight to the round sandalwood table in the room, took up the slender red tea pot, and poured himself a cup of fragrant tea. This he took a gentle sip from.\n\"By my ancestors, you're in no hurry, but I and the Fifth Prince have almost lost our eyebrows from how anxious we are! Right now the First Prince and the Second Prince are keeping an incredibly close eye on us. The Fifth Prince has no opportunity to leave the place, and I barely managed to shake them off my trail. If we miss this chance, I don't know when the next one will come.\"\nLi Jingzhong's voice was both nervous and hurried. He wanted nothing more than to finish saying what he needed in a single breath.\n\"Speak. Just what matter has you so nervous that you even required that I meet you here where no one can listen in?\" Wang Chong said with a slight frown.\nOutsiders only knew that he had returned to Kunwu Training Camp to deal with his Deflecting Blade Manor. Very few people knew that he had actually come because he had received a letter from the Fifth Prince.\n\"Lord Marquis, you might still not know. While the palace might appear calm to people like you on the outside, it's actually in complete chaos. The First Prince, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and everyone else are trying to buy the hearts of the people and pull over the influential officials and generals to their side. If they succeed, then the Fifth Prince really won't have a chance.\n\"But this is no trifling matter, and the Fifth Prince doesn't have much of an idea on how to proceed, so he had me come to seek the assistance of Lord Marquis. The Fifth Prince finally managed to get a little influence in the palace, and there are some people willing to cast their lot with His Highness, but this matter has to be handled early rather than late, quickly rather than slowly. Otherwise, they'll all be taken by the First Prince and the others.\"\n\"Lord Marquis, this is the list. I hope that Lord Marquis can check it over and see which people can be used and which people can't. Lord Marquis's relationship with the Fifth Prince is rather excellent, so Lord Marquis might as well help him until the end.\"\nAfter saying all this, Li Jingzhong gave a deep bow.\nAfter the major victory in the southwest, Wang Chong had been made a marquis and given a courtesy name by the Son of Heaven. Right now, Wang Chong wielded extraordinary influence in the palace, making him the greatest pillar of support for the Fifth Prince.\nThis was especially the case after Li Heng's meeting with the Sage Emperor. When all of the other princes were accusing Li Heng of harboring malicious intentions, hiding his ability to practice martial arts, Li Heng had followed Wang Chong's advice and smoothly avoided disaster. As a result, Li Heng now had a great deal of trust in Wang Chong.\nEven Li Jingzhong was envious of such trust, but he didn't dare say anything.\n\"Winning over the officials of court?\"\n\"Li Jingzhong, do you know what the two of you are doing? His Majesty detests it when the princes of the palace start forming factions. If His Majesty learns of this matter, it will incur the death penalty! Have you already forgotten the lessons of the previous dynasties?\"\nWang Chong's tone was harsh and stern.\nUnder any dynasty and any Emperor, even wise sovereigns like Gaozu and Taizong of this dynasty, the most loathsome thing was when the princes began to form their own factions and use them to pursue their personal interests.\nMany a prince had had their rank stripped due to a matter like this. Wang Chong had not expected the Fifth Prince to seek him out for a matter like this.\nIf it were done poorly, everyone involved, including himself, would be severely punished.\n\"Li Jingzhong, didn't I say that you needed to properly assist the Fifth Prince? Speak! Were you the one urging this!\"\nWang Chong's voice was stern, his gaze like a sword that wanted to cut Li Jingzhong open.\nThump!\nLi Jingzhong's body trembled in terror at Wang Chong's murderous gaze, and there was a thud as he kneeled to the ground.\n\"Lord Marquis, I'm innocent! This truly has nothing to do with me. His Highness is slowly gaining importance within the palace and is currently at his proudest. How could I possibly urge him to do anything? And although the Emperors of every dynasty have always forbidden the princes from forming their private factions, which Emperor, including the present Sage Emperor, was truly able to accomplish such a thing?\"\nAt these words, Wang Chong instantly fell silent.\nLi Jingzhong was smooth and slick, devious and cunning, and though he was a wicked official, not even Wang Chong could rebuke him on this matter.\nEvery dynasty had a taboo on the princes' colluding with the ministers of the court and the generals on the border, but which prince could truly remain uninvolved? It was just a competition of who could hide it better.\nThis was the case for the current Sage Emperor, the deceased previous Emperor, and Emperor Taizong as well. None of the talented and bold Emperors of history were exceptions.\nAnd without this daring, one could not become a true dragon!\n\"Lord Marquis, the matter is urgent. I ask that Lord Marquis help His Highness no matter what.\"\nNoticing that Wang Chong's expression had softened, Li Jingzhong immediately raised his head and struck while the iron was hot.\n\"Don't get happy too early. If I learn that you were urging on this matter from behind the curtains, the only thing awaiting you will be death. Even if I kill you, I think you probably know that nobody will speak up on your behalf, not even the Fifth Prince,\" Wang Chong icily said.\nLi Jingzhong's heart chilled and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say another word.\nSwish!\nWang Chong took the paper from Li Jingzhong and shook it once before unfurling it. As he began to carefully examine the names, the atmosphere in the room turned solemn.\nAlthough it was just a thin sheet of paper, everyone knew that if it were to be leaked, it would bring a storm of blood over the capital. Countless people would end up with their homes raided and their heads rolling on the ground.\nAlthough Wang Chong had spoken lightly, the moment he received the paper, his expression instantly turned grave. On the side, Li Jingzhong remained kneeling on the ground, trying to make as little noise as possible.\nA long list of names was written out on the paper, each one of them a powerful minister of the court. As Wang Chong continued down the list, he couldn't help but be surprised. The Fifth Prince's influence seemed to be much greater than he had imagined.\nThe acknowledgement of these people and their willingness to throw their lot in with him was proof of this. But as he continued to read, Wang Chong's brow began to crease.\n\"Lord Marquis, is there something wrong?\" the ever-perceptive Li Jingzhong immediately asked. \"Does this list contain spies from the First Prince and the others?\"\n\"You're rather smart.\"\nWang Chong gave him a cold glance. This future treasonous minister might be devious, but he was very sensitive in matters of this nature. Just a small frown had been enough for him to notice."

第六百八十四章 宫中异动，五皇子！
狂风呼啸，山顶上，王冲和魏安方面面相觑，两个人都看到了对方眼中的惊讶。
“大食公主？”
“是齐王那边的命令吗？ 所以，他们说你不在训练营的时候，其实你是去见了他？”
王冲实在没有想到，赵千秋找到自己居然是为了这种事情。 大食帝国在西域以西，距离大唐极其遥远，王冲并不记得上辈子发生过这样的事。
不过仔细回响，倒是记得好像有个大食的公主到访过大唐，但是很快就离开了，前后恐怕不过几天。 王冲没有见过，也不知道她长什么样。
更加没有发生过一个大食公主进入训练营，而且还指明道姓要加入自己止戈院的事情。
“若是齐王那边的倒好了！”
“三大训练营的建立是陛下的意思，真的是齐王的意思，我拿陛下的命令直接搪塞就是了，就算齐王发怒，也不大了就是烂命一条。 但是找我帮忙的是鸿胪寺！
而且还是一位曾经在我落魄时帮过我的长辈。” 这个世界上什么最难还，人情！ 何况还是你最落魄的时候！
而且，鸿胪寺主管和诸番异国外交，负责接待这些外国的使团，大食公主确实是他们负责的范围。 对方的要求，鸿胪寺自然是要极力满足。
从这一点来说，鸿胪寺其实也是为了朝廷，为了大唐，这样的理由，对方又找到自己，赵千秋很难拒绝。
“王冲，要是太为难就算了。 大不了，我到时候去跟那位前辈解释就是了。” 赵千秋道。
“为难？ 为什么要觉得为难？”
“难得有一位大食公主要进我们止戈院，为什么要拒绝。 而且，安方，大食的公主你应该也没有见过吧！”
“没有！”
“大食人和我们长相截然不同，鹰鼻深目，不过，他们那里的女子倒是极为漂亮。 大食人的公主想来也应该极为漂亮吧。”
魏安方嘴上这么说着，眼中流露出的神情却是截然相反。 他现在在王冲身边暂露头角，在家族中也慢慢受到重视。
相比起来，他现在只对一样事情感兴趣，那就是留在王冲身边建立更大的功业。
赵千秋和周煌也没有想到王冲居然答应的这么爽快，两人都是大喜。
准备了一桌好酒菜，宾主尽管，一直到送赵千秋和周煌离开。
“公子，真的要让大食公主进入我们止戈院吗？”
“进入昆吾训练营是没有问题，朝廷的安排，我们也没有办法。 但为什么那个大食公主一定要求要进入我们止戈院？ 属下感觉来者不善，善者不来啊！”
“现在说什么还为时尚早，人都还没有见过，到底有什么目的，到时候见一见不就知道了。”
王冲眼中光芒流转，微微笑道。
对于这位大食公主，他心中隐隐有些想法，但是一切还要等到见过之后才能分晓。
“这里就交给你了，我去休息一会儿。”
转过身来，对魏安方交代了几句，王冲很快沿着楼梯，回到了自己的住处。
大门推开，王冲刚刚走进房间，后脚还留在门槛外，房间里，劲风扑面，一道人影已经急匆匆的扑了过来。
“祖宗呀，你怎么现在才来，我等了你好久。”
李静忠双手抓住王冲的衣袖，眼睛里急得冒出火来。
“呵呵，这不是来了吗？ 而且刚来昆吾训练营，有些事情不交代交代，岂非太过惹人生疑？”
王冲倒是从容不迫，关上门之后，径直走到房间里的紫檀圆桌前，拿起桌上的一把紫砂细壶，给自己倒了一杯香茶，细细的啜饮。
现在大皇子和二皇子他们，盯我们盯得特别紧，五皇子他根本就没有机会出宫，我这边也是好不容易才摆脱了跟踪。 错过这次，我不知道下次什么时候才有机会。”
李静忠说话声音又急又快，恨不得一口气把所有话都说完。
“说吧，到底是什么事情这么火急火燎的，还得你必须把我约到这里来掩人耳目？” 王冲微微皱了皱眉头道。
外人都只以为他回到昆吾训练营，是为了自己的止戈院，但是很少有人知道，他其实是收到了五皇子的信。
“侯爷，你恐怕还不知道，你们在外面看着风平浪静，但宫里面现在早就是闹翻天了。 大皇子、二皇子、三皇子，所有人都在收买人心，拉拢权臣、武将，如果让大皇子、二皇子、三皇子他们成功，那五皇子就真的没有什么机会了。”
“但是这件事情非同小可，五皇子那边也没有什么主见，所以特别让我来请教侯爷。 现在好不容易五皇子在宫内有了一些影响，也有人愿意投效殿下，此事宜早不宜晚，宜快不宜慢，否则的话，就全部让大皇子他们拉拢过去了。”
“侯爷，名单在此，还请侯爷帮忙把把关，看看哪些人可用，哪些人不可用。 侯爷和五皇子关系匪浅，还请侯爷索性一帮到底。”
李静忠说完便是深深一礼。
随着西南大捷，王冲封侯，天子赐字，现在的王冲在宫中拥有非凡的分量，更是五皇子的最大倚仗和主心骨。
特别是上一次，面见圣上的时候，诸皇子弹劾李亨心怀不测，明明会武功却瞒而不报，结果李亨按照王冲的指示，顺利的度过这一劫，使得李亨现在对王冲极度的信任。
这份信任，就连李静忠都嫉妒不已，但偏偏他也不敢多说什么。
“拉拢朝臣？”
“李静忠，你知道你们在做什么吗？ 陛下最讨厌宫中的皇子拉帮结派，这件事情如果让陛下知道，那就是死罪！ 前朝旧事，你们难道都忘了吗？”
说到最后，王冲声色俱厉。
历朝历代，不管是哪一位皇帝，哪怕是贤明如本朝的高祖、太宗，也一样最痛恨诸宫的皇子拉帮结派，结党营私。
因为这种原因被废立的皇子不在少数，王冲没有想到五皇子找自己过来，居然是为了这种事。
这件事情弄不好，所有牵连进来的人，包括自己，全部都会获罪。
“李静忠，我不是说了让你好好辅佐五皇子吗？ 说！
王冲声色严厉，目光如剑，仿佛要把李静忠剖开一样。
扑通！
“侯爷，冤枉啊！
这真不关我的事，殿下在宫中现在慢慢受到重视，正是踌躇满志的时候，我哪里能撺掇他。 虽然历朝历代都忌讳皇子拉帮结派，结党营私，但是，又有哪一位上位的皇子，包括当今的圣皇能真正做到的？”
王冲闻言，顿时沉默了。
李静忠这个大奸臣，虽然八面玲珑，奸诈狡猾，但是在这件事情上，就连王冲都无法反驳。
每个朝代都忌讳皇子和朝堂上的群臣，以及边疆的武将勾结，但是又有几个人能够做到？ 只不过是看谁隐藏的更深罢了。
当今的圣上是如此，已逝的先皇也是如此，太宗皇帝是如此，历史上的那些雄才大略的皇帝无一不是如此。
而且没有这份魄力，也成不了真龙！
“侯爷，事情紧急，还请侯爷无论如何都要帮帮五殿下。”
见到王冲神色有所松动，李静忠察言观色，立即抬起头来，趁热打铁。
“不要高兴得太早了，如果让我知道是你在背后撺掇，你就是死路一条。 就算我杀了你，相信你也应该知道，绝对不会有人帮你说话，包括五皇子。” 王冲冷冷道。
李静忠心中一寒，连忙低下头去，哪里还敢再说什么。
唰！
王冲接过李静忠手中的信笺，抖了一下，展开来，细细看了起来。 房间里，气氛顿时变得凝重起来。
虽然只是一张薄薄的信笺，但是谁都知道，这份信笺要是泄露出去，必然会在京中引起一场腥风血雨，轩然大波，不知道多少人要身家不保，人头落地。
王冲虽然说得轻松，但是一接过信笺，神情顿时变得严肃无比。 而一旁的李静忠更是趴在地上，大气都不敢出。
信笺上，是一串长长的名字，每一个都是朝中的重臣，拥有非凡的份量。 王冲一路看过去，也是暗暗心惊，五皇子现在的影响力看起来比他想象的还要大得多。
能获得这么多的认同、投靠，也证明着现在的五皇子在宫中也拥有不小的影响力。 不过看着看着，王冲很快就皱起了眉头。
“侯爷，可是出什么事了？” “这串名单上，可是有大皇子他们的间谍吗？”
“你倒是聪明。”
王冲冷冷的瞥了他一眼，这个未来的大奸臣虽然奸诈狡猾，但是在这一方面，倒是敏锐得很，自己只不过是稍稍皱了下眉，他就立即感觉到了。

Chapter 685: Strange Activity in the Palace, the Fifth Prince! I
Edited by: Michyrr On the blustery summit, Wang Chong and Wei Anfang glanced at each other, both able to see the shock in each other's eyes.
"An Arabian princess?"
"Was it on King Qi's order? So when they said that you weren't at the training camp, you were actually meeting with him?"
Wang Chong had truly never imagined that Zhao Qianqiu would have sought him out for a matter like this. The Abbasid Caliphate was to the west of the Western Regions, extremely far from the Great Tang. Wang Chong did not remember anything like this happening in his last life.
But upon careful recollection, he did seem to remember that an Arabian princess had visited the Great Tang, but she had left very quickly, remaining for only a few days. Wang Chong had never met her, nor did he know what she looked like.
And no Arabian princess had ever entered the training camps, much less mentioned his Deflecting Blade Manor by name.
"If only it was because of King Qi!"
"The Three Great Training Camps were established by the will of His Majesty. If this really was the work of King Qi, I could have used His Majesty's order to stall the matter. Even if King Qi was angry, he would only be able to make life hard for me. But the one who came to ask for my help was the Chamberlain of Dependencies! And it was a senior who helped me once when I was going through hard times."
The hardest thing to repay in this world was a favor! And even more when it was a favor given when one was at their most downcast!
Moreover, the Chamberlain of Dependencies was tasked with interacting with the foreign countries, and its duty was to receive their emissaries and diplomatic missions. The matter of the Arabian princess truly did fall under its scope. The Chamberlain of Dependencies naturally had to do its utmost to fulfill her requests.
From this perspective, the Chamberlain of Dependencies was actually working for the sake of the Imperial Court, for the sake of the Great Tang. Zhao Qianqiu found it very hard to refuse its request.
"Wang Chong, if it's too difficult, just forget it. It's no big deal. I'll just go and explain things to that senior of mine," Zhao Qianqiu said.
"Difficult? Why would I feel it difficult?"
"It's not every day that an Arabian princess wants to enter our Deflecting Blade Manor, so why refuse them? And besides, Anfang, you probably also haven't seen an Arabian princess!"
"I have not!"
"Arabians look completely different from us, with hawkish noses and deep eyes. However, their women are actually extremely beautiful, and I assume that the Arabian princess is no exception."
The expression in Wei Anfang's eyes was completely different from the words that he spoke. He was currently a budding talent at Wang Chong's side and was slowly beginning to receive the favor of his clan.
He was really only interested in one thing, and that was remaining by Wang Chong's side to accomplish even greater tasks.
Zhao Qianqiu and Zhou Huang hadn't expected Wang Chong to agree so easily, and the pair were beside themselves with happiness.
Food and drink were brought out, and Wang Chong played the consummate host until Zhao Qianqiu and Zhou Huang finally departed.
"Young Master, do you really plan to let the Arabian princess enter our Deflecting Blade Manor?"
"There's no problem with her entering Kunwu Training Camp, and it's not like we can do anything about the Imperial Court's arrangements. But why did that Arabian princess request entry into our Deflecting Blade Manor? This subordinate feels that those who visit don't have good intentions, and those who have good intentions wouldn't come!"
"It's still too early to say anything. We haven't even seen the actual person. As for her goal, won't we know after meeting with her?"
Wang Chong's eyes gleamed as he smiled.
He had some vague ideas about this Arabian princess, but he would need to meet her to confirm anything.
"I'll leave this place to you. I'm going to get some rest."
Turning around, Wang Chong headed down the stairs and to his room. Creeeeaak!
As the door opened and Wang Chong walked in, before both of his feet could even cross the threshold, he was suddenly greeted by a gust of wind as a figure rushed over.
"By my ancestors, why did you come only now! I've been waiting for you for ages."
Li Jingzhong's hands clutched Wang Chong's sleeve, his eyes blazing with concern.
"Haha, aren't I here now? And I just arrived at Kunwu Training Camp. If I didn't handle some matters, wouldn't that make people suspicious?"
Wang Chong remained composed and laid-back. After closing the door, he walked straight to the round sandalwood table in the room, took up the slender red tea pot, and poured himself a cup of fragrant tea. This he took a gentle sip from.
"By my ancestors, you're in no hurry, but I and the Fifth Prince have almost lost our eyebrows from how anxious we are! Right now the First Prince and the Second Prince are keeping an incredibly close eye on us. The Fifth Prince has no opportunity to leave the place, and I barely managed to shake them off my trail. If we miss this chance, I don't know when the next one will come."
Li Jingzhong's voice was both nervous and hurried. He wanted nothing more than to finish saying what he needed in a single breath.
"Speak. Just what matter has you so nervous that you even required that I meet you here where no one can listen in?" Wang Chong said with a slight frown.
Outsiders only knew that he had returned to Kunwu Training Camp to deal with his Deflecting Blade Manor. Very few people knew that he had actually come because he had received a letter from the Fifth Prince.
"Lord Marquis, you might still not know. While the palace might appear calm to people like you on the outside, it's actually in complete chaos. The First Prince, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and everyone else are trying to buy the hearts of the people and pull over the influential officials and generals to their side. If they succeed, then the Fifth Prince really won't have a chance.
"But this is no trifling matter, and the Fifth Prince doesn't have much of an idea on how to proceed, so he had me come to seek the assistance of Lord Marquis. The Fifth Prince finally managed to get a little influence in the palace, and there are some people willing to cast their lot with His Highness, but this matter has to be handled early rather than late, quickly rather than slowly. Otherwise, they'll all be taken by the First Prince and the others."
"Lord Marquis, this is the list. I hope that Lord Marquis can check it over and see which people can be used and which people can't. Lord Marquis's relationship with the Fifth Prince is rather excellent, so Lord Marquis might as well help him until the end."
After saying all this, Li Jingzhong gave a deep bow.
After the major victory in the southwest, Wang Chong had been made a marquis and given a courtesy name by the Son of Heaven. Right now, Wang Chong wielded extraordinary influence in the palace, making him the greatest pillar of support for the Fifth Prince.
This was especially the case after Li Heng's meeting with the Sage Emperor. When all of the other princes were accusing Li Heng of harboring malicious intentions, hiding his ability to practice martial arts, Li Heng had followed Wang Chong's advice and smoothly avoided disaster. As a result, Li Heng now had a great deal of trust in Wang Chong.
Even Li Jingzhong was envious of such trust, but he didn't dare say anything.
"Winning over the officials of court?"
"Li Jingzhong, do you know what the two of you are doing? His Majesty detests it when the princes of the palace start forming factions. If His Majesty learns of this matter, it will incur the death penalty! Have you already forgotten the lessons of the previous dynasties?"
Wang Chong's tone was harsh and stern.
Under any dynasty and any Emperor, even wise sovereigns like Gaozu and Taizong of this dynasty, the most loathsome thing was when the princes began to form their own factions and use them to pursue their personal interests.
Many a prince had had their rank stripped due to a matter like this. Wang Chong had not expected the Fifth Prince to seek him out for a matter like this.
If it were done poorly, everyone involved, including himself, would be severely punished.
"Li Jingzhong, didn't I say that you needed to properly assist the Fifth Prince? Speak! Were you the one urging this!"
Wang Chong's voice was stern, his gaze like a sword that wanted to cut Li Jingzhong open.
Thump!
Li Jingzhong's body trembled in terror at Wang Chong's murderous gaze, and there was a thud as he kneeled to the ground.
"Lord Marquis, I'm innocent! This truly has nothing to do with me. His Highness is slowly gaining importance within the palace and is currently at his proudest. How could I possibly urge him to do anything? And although the Emperors of every dynasty have always forbidden the princes from forming their private factions, which Emperor, including the present Sage Emperor, was truly able to accomplish such a thing?"
At these words, Wang Chong instantly fell silent.
Li Jingzhong was smooth and slick, devious and cunning, and though he was a wicked official, not even Wang Chong could rebuke him on this matter.
Every dynasty had a taboo on the princes' colluding with the ministers of the court and the generals on the border, but which prince could truly remain uninvolved? It was just a competition of who could hide it better.
This was the case for the current Sage Emperor, the deceased previous Emperor, and Emperor Taizong as well. None of the talented and bold Emperors of history were exceptions.
And without this daring, one could not become a true dragon!
"Lord Marquis, the matter is urgent. I ask that Lord Marquis help His Highness no matter what."
Noticing that Wang Chong's expression had softened, Li Jingzhong immediately raised his head and struck while the iron was hot.
"Don't get happy too early. If I learn that you were urging on this matter from behind the curtains, the only thing awaiting you will be death. Even if I kill you, I think you probably know that nobody will speak up on your behalf, not even the Fifth Prince," Wang Chong icily said.
Li Jingzhong's heart chilled and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say another word.
Swish!
Wang Chong took the paper from Li Jingzhong and shook it once before unfurling it. As he began to carefully examine the names, the atmosphere in the room turned solemn.
Although it was just a thin sheet of paper, everyone knew that if it were to be leaked, it would bring a storm of blood over the capital. Countless people would end up with their homes raided and their heads rolling on the ground.
Although Wang Chong had spoken lightly, the moment he received the paper, his expression instantly turned grave. On the side, Li Jingzhong remained kneeling on the ground, trying to make as little noise as possible.
A long list of names was written out on the paper, each one of them a powerful minister of the court. As Wang Chong continued down the list, he couldn't help but be surprised. The Fifth Prince's influence seemed to be much greater than he had imagined.
The acknowledgement of these people and their willingness to throw their lot in with him was proof of this. But as he continued to read, Wang Chong's brow began to crease.
"Lord Marquis, is there something wrong?" the ever-perceptive Li Jingzhong immediately asked. "Does this list contain spies from the First Prince and the others?"
"You're rather smart."
Wang Chong gave him a cold glance. This future treasonous minister might be devious, but he was very sensitive in matters of this nature. Just a small frown had been enough for him to notice.

"from": "gpt",
"value": "After some discussion, both Mo Wen and Shao Jianyang agreed to increase the difficulty of their competition. A moving target was hardly an obstacle for the both of them.\nIn the end, the moving targets were replaced with clay pigeons. Clay pigeons were fired continuously from the clay pigeon traps twenty meters away. The student who hit the most would be declared the winner.\nAfter setting up, Mo Wen and Shao Jianyang started another round of competition. Both of them had one minute each. Whoever could hit the most within a minute would win.\nShao Jianyang lifted his eyebrow and asked while sneering, “Mo Wen, do you dare bet with me?” Mo Wen gave Shao Jianyang a side glance, “Oh? What are we betting?” Shao Jianyang spoke grimly, as if confirming his win, “The loser will crawl between the legs of the winner and bark like a dog three times.”\n“Why? Are you scared?”, Shao Jianyang sneered.\n“Alright.”, Mo Wen smiled. Since Shao Jianyang was digging his own grave, it was hard for Mo Wen to not do him the favor of agreeing.\nThe competition started and the first challenger was Shao Jianyang. He took a few steps forward and gave Mo Wen a cold stare. His lips curved to form a confident smile.\nThe referee moved forward and said, “The clay pigeon traps are ready to fire. The countdown begins.” Then he pressed the countdown button. At the same time, the five clay pigeon traps, placed twenty meters away, started to fire. They fired every five seconds; sending five clay pigeons flying each time.\nShao Jianyang turned tense instantaneously; his gaze fixed on the sky a hundred meters away. He had changed his weapon to a rifle. The shooting speed of a pistol couldn’t be compared with that of a rifle. It was hard to hit five clay pigeons at once using a pistol.\nHowever, recoil and accuracy required of the rifle was high, much greater than that of a pistol. Thus, the difficulty was increased by quite a large margin. Even Shao Jianyang had no confidence in his ability to hit all five clay pigeons in such a short time. It would be good to be able to hit at least two.\nThe moment the clay pigeon shot out, Shao Jianyang fired. The fast moving clay pigeon exploded in the air, one after another. He had very few misses.\nA glint of lament flashed in Zhou Zhen’s eyes as he shook his head regrettably, “Shao Jianyang is a skilled marksman. With his shooting standard, I doubt any normal soldier in the whole 19th Army Corp could compete with him.” The battalion he led was a Special Force Battalion, but it seemed possible that no one in the whole battalion had shooting skills on par with Shao Jianyang.\nAlthough the Special Force Battalion had plenty of expertise, that was in comparison to normal civilian skills. Zhou Zhen had been enlisted as a Lieutenant Colonel at a young age, so he naturally knew a lot of things that normal people didn’t. There were certain individuals whose level far exceeded the common talents of ordinary people.\nHe wasn’t implying that there were no talented people in the army. In fact, there were many mysterious troops in the army; people with terrifying combat ability. But even field officers like Zhou Zhen hardly came into contact with those troops, let alone normal soldiers.\nZhang Lizheng’s gaze remained fixed on the distant shooting range. He had a high opinion of Mo Wen since seeing Mo Wen being able to take down his moving targets with unfailing accuracy. After witnessing Mo Wen’s skills firsthand, Zhang Lizheng realized that he had still underestimated him.\nA minute wasn’t long. But at this moment on the parade ground, it felt like an eternity.\nEveryone’s eyes were on Shao Jianyang, waiting to know what kind of result he would get in the end.\nClay pigeons continued exploding in the sky. For a normal student, the scene in front of them was absolutely incredible. What was usually in the realm of movies seemed to be happening right before their very eyes.\nFurthermore, there were two ace students appearing at the same time, so everyone was eager to find out who would get the last laugh.\nRight now, only the 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalions were cheering. The students of the 3rd and 4th Battalions had forgotten to cheer for their own members. They were completely captivated by the exhilarating scene playing out before their very eyes. Before this spectacular showdown, the tension between battalions seemed to have diminished.\nEveryone focused all their attention on Mo Wen and Shao Jianyang. The whole parade ground was silent; only nervous panting and breathing could be heard.\nPinpricks of sweat started to appear on Shao Jianyang’s forehead. As time progressed, his accuracy decreased. His highly focused mental state started to show weariness and his hit rate gradually decreased too.\nAfter a minute, the clay pigeon traps, which had been firing continuously, suddenly stopped. Shao Jianyang fired his last shot but missed.\nHe took a deep breath, lowered his rifle, and then calmly walked off the shooting range. Even though he wasn’t completely satisfied with his result, he had still unleashed his full potential. He didn’t believe that Mo Wen could defeat him.\n“Shao Jianyang, 31 clay pigeons hit. Next up is Mo Wen.”, the judge started announcing Shao Jinyang’s results and called for the next round of shooting.\nShao Jianyang’s lips curled into a relaxed smile. 31 clay pigeons was within acceptable range, and at least his accuracy was more than fifty percent.\nThe clay pigeon traps fired every five seconds. Every time five clay pigeons were being fired, so 60 clay pigeons were fired in a minute.\nHe hit 31 clay pigeons out of 60. It was already an impressive score.\nAs soon as Shao Jianyang’s score was announced, a surprised gasp could be heard on the parade ground. The clay pigeons were so densely distributed and flying at such high speeds that it was absolutely incredible to be able to hit half of them. If they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, then they wouldn’t have believed it if they heard such a claim.\nMo Wen licked his lips and walked towards the shooting range. Quietly he loaded his rifle and checked it; his expression turned serious.\nClay pigeon shooting was quite a challenge for him too. If his cultivation level was as before, then this would be a piece of cake. But now both his stamina and Inner Qi were far below the levels compared to that of his other life.\nObservational skill, eyesight, intuition, shooting speed, reflexes, proprioception, and other senses were all were far from what they were before. Mo Wen did not feel confident in being able to hit all clay pigeons.\nBut to deal with a trifle like Shao Jianyang?\nMo Wen’s lips curved into a disparaging smile. No matter how much he had regressed in power, he was once the Miracle Physician, the top master in the martial arts circle. A callow lad was incomparable to him.\n“The second round. Start.”, the judge blew his whistle and waved the flag.\nAlmost instantaneously, the clay pigeon traps started firing again. It was still five clay pigeons at once with an interval of five seconds in between firing.\nMo Wen’s pupils dilated. He balanced the rifle against his shoulder and shot the bullets out from the barrel like tongues of fire.\nRed flowers bloomed in the sky far away. Red smoke clouds appeared one after another.\nThe brilliant sky attracted everyone’s attention. His performance was far more interesting than Shao Jianyang’s; he did not seem to miss a single clay pigeon.\n“How is that possible?!”, shouted Shao Jianyang as he shot up from his seat. He started unbelievably at the sky above the shooting range; his face utterly pale. He kept on shaking his head, “Impossible, absolutely impossible. There has to be a mistake somewhere.” Clearly Shao Jianyang was unable to accept the scene in front of him.\nThere was no mistake. Up till this moment, Mo Wen had not made a single mistake. It was unbelievable. With his marksmanship, he was only able to hit 31. How was Mo Wen able to hit them all! A trick, it must be a trick!\nQin Xiaoyou clenched her delicate hands tightly, looking anxiously at the shooting range; her expression was both excited and nervous and yelled “Good. Good job!”\nEven Zhou Zhen stood up at the Fourth battalion area; his eyes sparkled with excitement.\nAt this moment anyone could tell that if Mo Wen persisted, he would surely win against Shao Jianyang.\nZhang Lizheng stared somewhat blankly at the distant sky. For a person to have such incredible marksmanship, it was as though it was a plot taken from a movie.\nAll five hundred students from the 4th Battalion sounded off a cheer louder than ever before. The exploding red smoke clouds in the sky looked as festive as fireworks.\nAfter a minute, Mo Wen slowly lowered the semi-automatic rifle. He exhaled deeply, but his eyes were sparkling and he was in high spirits.\nFrom afar, the judge’s announcement could be heard, “Mo Wen, 60 pigeons hit, 100 percent success rate.” Disbelief was audible in his voice.\nNever before was there a person with such formidable marksmanship. It was as though wherever he pointed would follow with a perfect trajectory with no misfires.\nA girl with short hair sitting next to Qin Xiaoyou grabbed hold of Qin Xiaoyou’s hand, her eyes sparkling as she asked, “Xiaoyou, do you really have no relationship with that Mo Wen? If that’s so, can I make a move?”\nQin Xiaoyou flung her hand away, giving her a look of utter contempt, “Fangirl.”\nThe short hair girl clenched her fist tightly, “Tsk, surely you aren’t jealous? You’re still insisting that you and him are just ordinary friends. If you keep saying that, then I won’t be polite. Mo Wen is just too cool! All men should be like that.”\nShe was like a she-wolf ready to pounce on an innocent lamb.\nQin Xiaoyou glanced at Wang Xiaofei from top to bottom; she perked her lips contemptuously, “Xiaofei, you also don’t know whether he will like an iron lady like you.”\n“What? How dare you call me iron lady? Are you looking for an early death? I will beat you up.”, as Wang Xiaofei pounced on Qin Xiaoyou…"

经过一番协商，莫问与邵建阳都同意增加比赛难度，移动靶对两人来说似乎造不成什么阻碍。
最后，移动靶换成了飞碟，由飞碟发射器相隔百米不断发射出飞碟，最后集中飞碟数量最多的学员优胜。
经过一番布置之后，莫问与邵建阳再次开始了比拼。 两个人都有一分钟时间，谁能在一分钟内击中的飞碟越多，谁就是优胜者。
“莫问，敢不敢跟我打个赌？” 邵建阳挑了挑眉头，冷笑着道。
莫问面色有些古怪的道。 “怎么，你怕了？”
“可以。” 莫问笑了笑，既然邵建阳想死，他想不成全都不行。
比赛开始，第一个由邵建阳上场，他几步走上前，冷眼瞥了莫问一眼，嘴角勾起一抹自信的笑容。
“飞碟发射装置准备就绪，倒计时开始。” 裁判走上前，说完之后，就猛地按下计时器，与此同时，安置在二十米外的五台飞碟发射装置开始往外喷出飞碟，每五秒钟喷射一次，一次五个飞碟。
邵建阳精神瞬间绷紧，目光紧紧地盯着百米外的天空，手中的枪械也换成了步枪。 手枪的发射速度，根本不可能与步枪相比，利用手枪很难击落同时飞出的五个飞碟。
不过步枪的精准度与后座力都很大，远高于手枪，所以难度也提高了很多。 即使是邵建阳，都没有自信能短时间内击落五个飞碟，能击中两个，那已经很了不起了。
飞碟发出的一瞬间，邵建阳就开枪了，高速飞行的飞碟在空中炸开，接二连三，甚少有漏掉的。
周振眼中闪过一抹感慨，有些自叹弗如的摇摇头。 虽然他带领的营属于特战营，但整个营里面，论射击水平恐怕也无人能跟邵建阳相媲美。
虽然特战营里面高手很多，但只是相对于普通人而言。 周振年纪轻轻就位列中校，自然知道很多常人不知道的事情。
有一类人，水平已经超过了寻常人的常识。 倒不是说军队里没有人才，军队里同样有很多神秘莫测的部队，那些人的战斗力堪称恐怖。
张力铮目不转睛的盯着远处的靶场，虽然他之前已经很高估莫问了，但眼见莫问能百发百中的击中移动靶的时候，知道自己还是低估了他。
一分钟的时间并不长，但此时的校场上，却感觉一分钟很漫长。
所有人的目光都盯着邵建阳，想知道他最终能获得一个什么样的成绩。
天空中不断有飞碟炸裂，对于普通的学员来说，眼前的一幕简直有些匪夷所思。 寻常只有电影里面的镜头，竟然活生生的出现在了眼前。
而且一出现就是两个牛人，所有人都想知道，究竟谁才能笑到最后。 此时别说一营、二营。
就是三营、四营的学员都忘记给自己的营队加油了。 他们完全被眼前精彩的一幕吸引住了目光，面对如此精彩的对决，营队之间的较量都似乎淡漠了。
所有人都把注意力放在了莫问与邵建阳两人身上，整个会场静悄悄的，只能听见急促和紧张的呼吸声。
邵建阳脑门上开始出现一层细密的汗珠，随着时间的推移，他的精准度逐渐下降，高度集中的精神开始出现疲态，集中率也逐渐降了下来。
一分钟之后，远处不断喷射飞碟的装置突然停了下来。 邵建阳开完最后一枪，却是走空了。
他深吸了口气，把步枪放下，面色平静的走下了靶场。 虽然他对成绩不是很满意，但也基本把他的水平发展到极致了，他不相信莫问能赢他。
“邵建阳，击中31个飞碟，下面由莫问上场。” 远处的裁判开始汇报邵建阳的成绩，并组织下一轮射击。
邵建阳嘴角勾起一抹轻松的笑容，31个飞碟，还在他的接受范围内，至少集中率过半了。
发射飞碟装置五秒钟发射一次，一次发射五个，那一分钟就能发射60个飞碟。
60个飞碟中了31个，成绩很惊人了。
邵建阳的成绩刚一公布出来，校场上就响起一阵倒吸冷气的声音。 那么密集的飞碟，那么快的飞射速度，能击中一半，简直就是匪夷所思，若不是亲眼看见，恐怕说出去没人相信。
莫问舔了嘴唇，走到靶场正中，默默装弹与检查枪械，整个人的神情也严肃了起来。
飞碟射击，对他来说也是不小的挑战，若是修为尽复，那自然是小菜一碟。 但现在的身体素质与内气修为都远远无法与那一世相比。
洞察力，眼里，心力，出手速度，神经反应能力，对身体的熟悉程度等，都远远不如从前，他也没有绝对击中所以飞碟的信心。
不过对付区区一个邵建阳？
莫问嘴角勾起一抹冷笑，他即使退步再大，也曾今是神医，天下武林中的顶尖高手，岂是一个乳臭未干的小子可比。
“第二轮，开始。” 裁判吹了几声口哨，就猛地挥下手中的旗帜。
几乎与此同时，远处的飞碟发射装置再次喷射出飞碟，依旧是一次五个，五秒钟喷射一次。
莫问瞳孔一缩，瞬间举枪，枪托抵在肩膀上，枪管里的子弹火舌似的喷射了出来。
远处的天空，不断绽放着一朵朵红色花朵，红色的烟雾此起彼伏，一个接着一个。
“怎么可能！” 邵建阳一下从座位上站了起来，不可置信的望着靶场上的天空，面色苍白之极。
“不可能，绝对不可能，一定是哪里弄错了。” 他不断摇头，根本不相信眼前一幕是真的。 没有一个失误，目前为止，莫问没有一个失误，简直就是不可思议。
以他的枪法，都才射中31个，莫问怎么可能全部射中！ 假的，肯定是假的。
秦小悠紧攥着玉手，紧张的望着靶场，神情又兴奋又紧张。 “好，好样的。”
四营区域的周振也一下从草地上站了起来，眼中尽是高兴的光芒。
此时任谁都能看出，莫问若能坚持下去，必定能胜过邵建阳。
张力铮有些发呆的望着远处的天空，一个人竟然能有如此厉害的枪法，简直就是电影里面的剧情。
四营的五百名学员，响起了前所未有的欢呼声，远处天空中那一团团爆裂的红雾，就像烟火一般喜庆。
一分钟之后，莫问缓缓放下手中的半自动步枪，一口浑浊的气息从嘴里吐出，但眼睛里精光闪闪，神采飞扬。
“莫问，击中60个飞碟，成功率100%。” 远处，响起了裁判的声音，声音中尽是不可思议之色。
从没有见过一个人，枪法能如此可怕，那简直就是指哪打哪，例无虚发。
“小悠，那个莫问真的跟你没有任何关系？ 真没有的话，我可出手了？”
秦小悠狠狠把她的手甩开，用很鄙视的眼神白了她一眼。
“切，你不会是吃醋了吧？ 还说他跟你只是普通朋友，如果以后你还那么说，我可不客气了。 那莫问简直太帅了，男人就应该这样。”
短发女孩狠狠一握拳头，似乎一头准备扑向小羊的母狼。
“小菲，你也不相信人家会不会喜欢你这个女汉纸。” 秦小悠上下审视了王菲菲一眼，很是不屑一顾的撇撇嘴。
你敢说我是女汉纸，作死是吧，看我不吃了你。”

After some discussion, both Mo Wen and Shao Jianyang agreed to increase the difficulty of their competition. A moving target was hardly an obstacle for the both of them.
In the end, the moving targets were replaced with clay pigeons. Clay pigeons were fired continuously from the clay pigeon traps twenty meters away. The student who hit the most would be declared the winner.
After setting up, Mo Wen and Shao Jianyang started another round of competition. Both of them had one minute each. Whoever could hit the most within a minute would win.
Shao Jianyang lifted his eyebrow and asked while sneering, “Mo Wen, do you dare bet with me?” Mo Wen gave Shao Jianyang a side glance, “Oh? What are we betting?” Shao Jianyang spoke grimly, as if confirming his win, “The loser will crawl between the legs of the winner and bark like a dog three times.”
“Why? Are you scared?”, Shao Jianyang sneered.
“Alright.”, Mo Wen smiled. Since Shao Jianyang was digging his own grave, it was hard for Mo Wen to not do him the favor of agreeing.
The competition started and the first challenger was Shao Jianyang. He took a few steps forward and gave Mo Wen a cold stare. His lips curved to form a confident smile.
The referee moved forward and said, “The clay pigeon traps are ready to fire. The countdown begins.” Then he pressed the countdown button. At the same time, the five clay pigeon traps, placed twenty meters away, started to fire. They fired every five seconds; sending five clay pigeons flying each time.
Shao Jianyang turned tense instantaneously; his gaze fixed on the sky a hundred meters away. He had changed his weapon to a rifle. The shooting speed of a pistol couldn’t be compared with that of a rifle. It was hard to hit five clay pigeons at once using a pistol.
However, recoil and accuracy required of the rifle was high, much greater than that of a pistol. Thus, the difficulty was increased by quite a large margin. Even Shao Jianyang had no confidence in his ability to hit all five clay pigeons in such a short time. It would be good to be able to hit at least two.
The moment the clay pigeon shot out, Shao Jianyang fired. The fast moving clay pigeon exploded in the air, one after another. He had very few misses.
A glint of lament flashed in Zhou Zhen’s eyes as he shook his head regrettably, “Shao Jianyang is a skilled marksman. With his shooting standard, I doubt any normal soldier in the whole 19th Army Corp could compete with him.” The battalion he led was a Special Force Battalion, but it seemed possible that no one in the whole battalion had shooting skills on par with Shao Jianyang.
Although the Special Force Battalion had plenty of expertise, that was in comparison to normal civilian skills. Zhou Zhen had been enlisted as a Lieutenant Colonel at a young age, so he naturally knew a lot of things that normal people didn’t. There were certain individuals whose level far exceeded the common talents of ordinary people.
He wasn’t implying that there were no talented people in the army. In fact, there were many mysterious troops in the army; people with terrifying combat ability. But even field officers like Zhou Zhen hardly came into contact with those troops, let alone normal soldiers.
Zhang Lizheng’s gaze remained fixed on the distant shooting range. He had a high opinion of Mo Wen since seeing Mo Wen being able to take down his moving targets with unfailing accuracy. After witnessing Mo Wen’s skills firsthand, Zhang Lizheng realized that he had still underestimated him.
A minute wasn’t long. But at this moment on the parade ground, it felt like an eternity.
Everyone’s eyes were on Shao Jianyang, waiting to know what kind of result he would get in the end.
Clay pigeons continued exploding in the sky. For a normal student, the scene in front of them was absolutely incredible. What was usually in the realm of movies seemed to be happening right before their very eyes.
Furthermore, there were two ace students appearing at the same time, so everyone was eager to find out who would get the last laugh.
Right now, only the 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalions were cheering. The students of the 3rd and 4th Battalions had forgotten to cheer for their own members. They were completely captivated by the exhilarating scene playing out before their very eyes. Before this spectacular showdown, the tension between battalions seemed to have diminished.
Everyone focused all their attention on Mo Wen and Shao Jianyang. The whole parade ground was silent; only nervous panting and breathing could be heard.
Pinpricks of sweat started to appear on Shao Jianyang’s forehead. As time progressed, his accuracy decreased. His highly focused mental state started to show weariness and his hit rate gradually decreased too.
After a minute, the clay pigeon traps, which had been firing continuously, suddenly stopped. Shao Jianyang fired his last shot but missed.
He took a deep breath, lowered his rifle, and then calmly walked off the shooting range. Even though he wasn’t completely satisfied with his result, he had still unleashed his full potential. He didn’t believe that Mo Wen could defeat him.
“Shao Jianyang, 31 clay pigeons hit. Next up is Mo Wen.”, the judge started announcing Shao Jinyang’s results and called for the next round of shooting.
Shao Jianyang’s lips curled into a relaxed smile. 31 clay pigeons was within acceptable range, and at least his accuracy was more than fifty percent.
The clay pigeon traps fired every five seconds. Every time five clay pigeons were being fired, so 60 clay pigeons were fired in a minute.
He hit 31 clay pigeons out of 60. It was already an impressive score.
As soon as Shao Jianyang’s score was announced, a surprised gasp could be heard on the parade ground. The clay pigeons were so densely distributed and flying at such high speeds that it was absolutely incredible to be able to hit half of them. If they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, then they wouldn’t have believed it if they heard such a claim.
Mo Wen licked his lips and walked towards the shooting range. Quietly he loaded his rifle and checked it; his expression turned serious.
Clay pigeon shooting was quite a challenge for him too. If his cultivation level was as before, then this would be a piece of cake. But now both his stamina and Inner Qi were far below the levels compared to that of his other life.
Observational skill, eyesight, intuition, shooting speed, reflexes, proprioception, and other senses were all were far from what they were before. Mo Wen did not feel confident in being able to hit all clay pigeons.
But to deal with a trifle like Shao Jianyang?
Mo Wen’s lips curved into a disparaging smile. No matter how much he had regressed in power, he was once the Miracle Physician, the top master in the martial arts circle. A callow lad was incomparable to him.
“The second round. Start.”, the judge blew his whistle and waved the flag.
Almost instantaneously, the clay pigeon traps started firing again. It was still five clay pigeons at once with an interval of five seconds in between firing.
Mo Wen’s pupils dilated. He balanced the rifle against his shoulder and shot the bullets out from the barrel like tongues of fire.
Red flowers bloomed in the sky far away. Red smoke clouds appeared one after another.
The brilliant sky attracted everyone’s attention. His performance was far more interesting than Shao Jianyang’s; he did not seem to miss a single clay pigeon.
“How is that possible?!”, shouted Shao Jianyang as he shot up from his seat. He started unbelievably at the sky above the shooting range; his face utterly pale. He kept on shaking his head, “Impossible, absolutely impossible. There has to be a mistake somewhere.” Clearly Shao Jianyang was unable to accept the scene in front of him.
There was no mistake. Up till this moment, Mo Wen had not made a single mistake. It was unbelievable. With his marksmanship, he was only able to hit 31. How was Mo Wen able to hit them all! A trick, it must be a trick!
Qin Xiaoyou clenched her delicate hands tightly, looking anxiously at the shooting range; her expression was both excited and nervous and yelled “Good. Good job!”
Even Zhou Zhen stood up at the Fourth battalion area; his eyes sparkled with excitement.
At this moment anyone could tell that if Mo Wen persisted, he would surely win against Shao Jianyang.
Zhang Lizheng stared somewhat blankly at the distant sky. For a person to have such incredible marksmanship, it was as though it was a plot taken from a movie.
All five hundred students from the 4th Battalion sounded off a cheer louder than ever before. The exploding red smoke clouds in the sky looked as festive as fireworks.
After a minute, Mo Wen slowly lowered the semi-automatic rifle. He exhaled deeply, but his eyes were sparkling and he was in high spirits.
From afar, the judge’s announcement could be heard, “Mo Wen, 60 pigeons hit, 100 percent success rate.” Disbelief was audible in his voice.
Never before was there a person with such formidable marksmanship. It was as though wherever he pointed would follow with a perfect trajectory with no misfires.
A girl with short hair sitting next to Qin Xiaoyou grabbed hold of Qin Xiaoyou’s hand, her eyes sparkling as she asked, “Xiaoyou, do you really have no relationship with that Mo Wen? If that’s so, can I make a move?”
Qin Xiaoyou flung her hand away, giving her a look of utter contempt, “Fangirl.”
The short hair girl clenched her fist tightly, “Tsk, surely you aren’t jealous? You’re still insisting that you and him are just ordinary friends. If you keep saying that, then I won’t be polite. Mo Wen is just too cool! All men should be like that.”
She was like a she-wolf ready to pounce on an innocent lamb.
Qin Xiaoyou glanced at Wang Xiaofei from top to bottom; she perked her lips contemptuously, “Xiaofei, you also don’t know whether he will like an iron lady like you.”
“What? How dare you call me iron lady? Are you looking for an early death? I will beat you up.”, as Wang Xiaofei pounced on Qin Xiaoyou…

"value": "Chapter 1455 - Threats\n“As Liu Huan’s tool for revenge, Zhou Qi didn’t even bother to clean up your body after you died. How sad is that?” After taking Feng Fan’s Spatial Ring, Duan Ling Tian glanced at his corpse indifferently before he walked away under everyone’s complicated gaze. It was obvious he was leaving now.\nThe crowd made way for him as he walked.\nAlthough about 70% to 80% of outer court disciples had bet with Duan Ling Tian and lost quite a lot of Merit Points, they did not blame him at all.\nIn their opinion, they had lost because Feng Fan was useless.\nThey had placed such big bets on Feng Fan because he was an Earth Ranking’s powerhouse. They thought he would definitely be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian, an outer court disciple who had just entered the sect almost two months ago. However, the outcome was beyond their expectation.\nDuan Ling Tian, an outer court disciple who had just entered the sect almost two months ago, had killed Feng Fan, an Earth Ranking’s powerhouse who was famous in the Moon Illumination Sect, in just one fell swoop.\n“Duan Ling Tian, if you have any sense at all, you’ll find a time and come to my mansion to return me the Merit Points I bet on Feng Fan. Otherwise… Hurmph!” A True Energy Voice Transmission suddenly rang by Duan Ling Tian’s ears as he made his way out.\nDuan Ling Tian was familiar with this voice that was filled with threats.\nUnder the watchful eyes of the others, Duan Ling Tian instantly came to a halt and shifted his eyes to the place where a group of outer court elders was standing before it finally landed on Elder Huang Cheng who had bet heavily yesterday.\nHuang Cheng was furious when he saw how boldly Duan Ling Tian was staring at him in front of so many people and ignore his prestige.\nThe moment he spoke, he immediately demanded one million Merit Points from Duan Ling Tian!\nIt was obvious that he was treating Duan Ling Tian like a fat sheep that he could slaughter!\nHowever, Duan Ling Tian instantly chuckled when he heard Huang Cheng’s words. He flashed a brilliant smile in front of everyone.\n“Elder Huang Cheng! You came on your own accord yesterday and said you wanted to bet 360,000 Merit Points. Now that I’ve won, you’re threatening me to return you the 360,000 Merit Points? What kind of logic is this? Don’t tell me that an awe-inspiring outer court elder like you is going to take advantage of your power to bully people? Don’t tell me there are no laws in this sect?” Duan Ling Tian revealed Huang Cheng’s threats to the crowd as he narrowed his eyes.\nThe words left his mouth so fast that for a moment, Huang Cheng did not realize what was happening\nThe moment he regained his senses, he discovered the gaze of the people in the surrounding had changed when they looked at him.\n“Elder Huang Cheng, is Duan Ling Tian telling the truth?” An outer court elder standing next to Huang Cheng asked indifferently. “If it’s true, you really have crossed the line.”\n“That’s right! You’re an outer court elder, and you represent the sect… It’s really embarrassing that you’re such a sore loser,” another outer court elder added.\n“If it was me, I’ll still admit defeat no matter how unwilling I am… Elder Huang Cheng, if you really did threaten Duan Ling Tian, you really need to improve your sportsmanship,” the outer court elders chimed in one after another.\nThe moment Huang Cheng heard the remarks made by the group of outer court elders, he muttered underneath his breath, “Easier said than done.” He glared at Duan Ling Tian and snarled, “Duan Ling Tian! How dare you slander me? Although 360,000 Merit Points is a lot, I don’t really care about it that much.”\nNaturally, he was unwilling to admit his wrongdoing in front of so many people. It could cause him to lose his position as an outer court elder.\nUpon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s praise, not only was Deng Wei unhappy, but he was so furious he almost vomited blood.\nCurrently, he only had several thousands of Merit Points in his Crystal Card. It was impossible to say he was not bothered by it.\nHe did not threaten Duan Ling Tian because he knew threats were useless against Duan Ling Tian. He could only come up with other ideas and ways to kill Duan Ling Tian and snatch his Crystal Card.\nAt that time, not only would he get his 150,000 Merit Points, but he would also get the almost three million Merit Points in there.\nHe was just about to retort when Duan Ling Tian interrupted him again. “Elder Huang Cheng, although you’re an outer court elder, I won’t submit to your despotic ways! Unless I die, I won’t return the one million Merit Points to you!”\nOne million Merit Points!\nThe moment these words left Duan Ling Tian’s mouth, the look in the eyes that were trained on him changed again.\nThose who were not fools could tell that Huang Cheng had threatened Duan Ling Tian and demanded one million Merit Points from him.\n“Bah! And to think that he’s actually an outer court elder! He’s really an embarrassment to the outer court!”\n“That’s right! Although I’m just an ordinary outer court disciple, I’m still willing to admit defeat! What a remarkable person! He dares to use his identity as an outer court elder to threaten Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian and demand for the return of his Merit Points! Moreover, he wanted Duan Ling Tian to give him one million Merit Points!”\n“Isn’t he trying to cheat? How could there such a good thing in this world?”\nThe group of outer court disciples who had also placed a bet hurled all kinds of insults at him. They no longer cared if Huang Cheng was an elder or not. They vented all the anger they had been accumulating.\nHuang Cheng was dumbfounded.\nCurrently, the situation had gone out of his control.\n“Duan Ling Tian, don’t you know that by slandering the sect’s higher officials, you’ll be severely punished by the sect?” Huang Cheng snapped with a grave expression on his face.\nHis voice that contained True Energy drowned out the commotion in the surrounding.\n“Slander?” Duan Ling Tian sneered. “Elder Huang Cheng, you keep saying that I’m slandering you. I wonder if you dare to make an oath using the Tribulation Oath to prove that you did not threaten me?”\n“Hurmph! I’ve already said I did not threaten you! Who do you think you are? Do you think you’re worthy of me swearing an oath for you?” Huang Cheng snorted disdainfully.\n“That’s right. You’re an awe-inspiring outer court elder and would not bother to make an oath for me… In that case, I’ll swear using the Tribulation Oath that if I falsely accuse you, I’m willing to be struck to death by the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation’s lightning penalty!” Naturally, Duan Ling Tian had his own countermeasure to deal with Huang Cheng’s shameless act. Huang Chen had a horrified expression on his face as Duan Ling Tian pricked his finger and a drop of fresh blood rose up into the sky.\nBoom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!\nNine claps of thunder resonated in the sky. That was the Tribulation Oath, the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, bearing witness to Duan Ling Tian’s oath. However, there was no lightning penalty that came to strike Duan Ling Tian to death.\nGasp! Gasp! Gasp!\nThe crowd was looking at Huang Cheng with a peculiar gaze now.\nPrior to this, they were not 100% certain Huang Cheng had threatened Duan Ling Tian. However, they had no more doubts now that Duan Ling Tian had sworn an oath.\nThe Tribulation Oath would never lie.\nThat was the prestige of Heaven.\nAs the saying went, ‘God is watching what you’re doing.” Heaven does not favor anyone.\nCurrently, even the group of outer court elders, including Dong Chong, began to distance themselves from Huang Cheng, both intentionally and unintentionally. It was as though they found it disgraceful to be grouped together with Huang Cheng since they were all outer court elders.\nHuang Cheng’s face turned red in fury. For a moment, he did not have any comeback at all.\nFrom that moment Duan Ling Tian publicly swore by the Tribulation Oath, he knew that nobody would believe him anymore. It was futile no matter what he said.\n“Duan Ling Tian! Don’t give me an opportunity to kill you!” Huang Cheng said angrily through True Energy Voice Transmission as he glared at Duan Ling Tian furiously. After that, he flew out and vanished before the crowd’s eyes.\nAlthough Duan Ling Tian heard Huang Cheng’s threats, he was calm and was not bothered by it.\nEven if the incident had not taken place, with how petty Huang Cheng was, he would not have let Duan Ling Tian go if he did not return him 360,000 Merit Points.\nIf that was the case, why should he be afraid?\nThe crowd gasped again when they saw Huang Cheng fleeing the scene without giving an explanation.\n“Shameless! How shameless can he be?”\n“How come I didn’t know Elder Huang Cheng is actually such a foolish person before this?”\n“I must say that this kind of person is not worthy of becoming an outer court elder at all! He’s just an embarrassment to the outer court!”\nThe group of outer court disciples seemed to be deeply affected by Duan Ling Tian’s incident as all of them let loose a series of curses.\n“Everyone! Thanks for your support,” Duan Ling Tian announced. His voice that contained True Energy drowned out the noise on the scene. “I thought about this earlier, and I feel that all of you did not have it easy as well. That’s why, apart from Elder Huang Cheng and Deacon Deng, I’ll return half of the Merit Points that all of you have bet! Tomorrow at noon, at this training field, please bring the written pledge in your hand and look for me. I’ll return you your Merit Points.”\nDuan Ling Tian’s voice spread out.\n“Really?”\n“Long live Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian!”\n“Thank you, Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian!”\n“Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian is a really good person! He’s actually willing to return us our Merit Points!”\nUpon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the group of outer court disciples was overwhelmed with joy. Each of them felt deeply grateful to him.\nThe moment the group of outer court deacons heard this, their eyes lit up immediately as well.\n“Duan Ling Tian! Why am I excluded?” Deng Wei yelled resentfully."

1455.第1455章
“作为刘焕一脉复仇的工具，你死了，周奇连尸都不帮你收，真是可悲。”
而人群也让开了一条路。
虽说在场的外门弟子，十之七八都在段凌天的手里下了注，且都输了不少功勋点，但他们却一点怪段凌天的意思都没有。
在他们看来，他们之所以会输，完全是因为冯帆没用。
他们之所以下那么大的赌注在冯帆的身上，也是因为冯帆是《地榜》强者，他们以为冯帆肯定能击败段凌天这个刚进宗门不过两个月的外门弟子。 然而，结果出来以后，却是出乎他们的意料。
段凌天这个刚进宗门不过两个月的外门弟子，一举击杀了冯帆这个在月耀宗外门扬名已久的《地榜》强者。
“段凌天，你要是识趣的话，便找个时间到我的府邸去，将我下注押在冯帆身上的功勋点，尽数还给我。 否则……哼！”
段凌天往外走去的时候，耳边突然传来一道真气传音。
一时间，众目睽睽之下，段凌天也是顿住了身形，目光随之落在一群外门长老所在之地，落在那个昨天在他的赌局中下了重注的外门长老‘黄诚’的身上。
眼看段凌天竟敢在这么多人的面前，公然和他对视，无视他的威严，黄诚顿时怒了，一时间也是狮子大开口。
一开口，就要段凌天一百万功勋点！
明显是将段凌天当成肥羊宰了。
然而，听到黄诚的话，段凌天却是笑了，在众目睽睽之下露出灿烂的笑容。
“黄诚长老！ 昨天，是你找我，一开口就说下注三十六万功勋点……现在，我赢了你的赌注，你就威胁我，让我将你的三十六万功勋点还给你……这是什么道理？ 难道你堂堂一个外门长老，就可以仗势欺人？
一番话，说得很快，快得黄诚都没反应过来。
当他反应过来的时候，已经发现在场之人看向他的目光，彻底不同了。
“黄诚长老，段凌天说的是真的吗？” 立在黄诚身旁的一个外门长老淡淡问道：“如果是真的，你就真的是太过分了。” “是啊。
你可是外门长老，代表着外门的脸面……你如此这般输不起，却是有些丢外面的脸了。” 另一个外门长老也道。
“如果是我，就算再不甘心，也会认赌服输……黄诚长老，如果你真的威胁了段凌天，那你的赌品还真是有欠提升吶。”
一个个外门长老，七嘴八舌说道。 听到一群外门长老的话，黄诚暗骂一声‘站着说话不腰疼’，随即厉眸凝视着段凌天，怒喝道：“段凌天，你竟敢污蔑本长老！
三十六万功勋点虽然多，但还不被本长老放在眼里。” 在这么多人的面前，他自然不可能承认。
听到段凌天的‘夸奖’，邓威不只没有高兴，反而气得差点吐血。
十五万功勋点，确实是他的全部身家。 现在，他的水晶卡里面，就只剩下几千功勋点。
他之所以没有威胁段凌天，也是知道威胁对段凌天没用，只能想办法，看是否能找机会，将段凌天打杀，夺取段凌天手里的水晶卡。
到时，他不只能拿回自己的十五万功勋点，甚至还能额外得到近三百万功勋点。
黄诚脸色阴沉，刚想说什么，却又被段凌天打断了，“黄诚长老，虽然你是外门长老，但我也不会屈于你的淫威之下！
一百万功勋点！
段凌天此话一出，一道道看向黄诚的目光，又有了变化。
只要不是蠢人，几乎都能猜到，黄诚肯定再度威胁了段凌天，让段凌天奉上一百万功勋点给他。
还外门长老，太丢我们外门的脸了！”
“就是！ 我一个普通外门弟子，都愿赌服输，他倒好，竟然以外门长老的身份，欺压段凌天师兄，想让段凌天师兄将他的功勋点吐出来。 这还不算，他还想让段凌天师兄交出一百万功勋点！”
天底下，哪有这样的好事！”
一群同样下了赌注的外门弟子纷纷破口大骂，也不顾黄诚是不是外门长老了，他们本来就积蓄了一肚子的气，彻底宣泄而出。
黄诚傻眼了。
现场的形势，完全脱离了他的控制。
“段凌天，你可知道，在宗门中，污蔑宗门高层，是要被处于极刑的！” 最后，黄诚沉着脸，厉喝道。
声音蕴含真气，压过了现场噪杂的声音。
“污蔑？” 段凌天冷笑，“黄诚长老，你口口声声说我污蔑你……你可敢以‘誓言之劫’立誓，说你没有威胁过我？”
“哼！ 我没有威胁过你就是没有威胁过你，你是什么东西，也值得让我为你立誓？” 黄诚冷哼一声，不屑道。
“没错，你是高高在上的外门长老，不屑于因我的事而立誓……既然如此，那我便以誓言之劫立誓，如果我刚才所言，如有不实之处，愿被九九雷劫降下雷罚轰杀而死！” 面对黄诚的‘无赖’，段凌天自有应对之策，在黄诚脸色大变的时候，自行捏破手指，一滴鲜血升空而起，融入虚空。
轰！ 轰！
正是誓言之劫‘九九雷劫’在见证着段凌天的誓言，不过，见证之后，却没有降下雷罚轰杀段凌天。 一时间，段凌天和黄诚谁的话可信，昭然若揭。
一阵阵唏嘘声，此起彼伏。
在场众人看向黄诚的目光，比之先前，也是更加古怪。
如果说，先前他们还不敢百分百的肯定黄诚威胁了段凌天，那么，在段凌天立誓以后，他们却是再无怀疑，彻底确认了下来。
誓言之劫，是不会骗人的。
那是天威。
正所谓‘人在做，天在看’，天，不会偏袒任何人。
此刻，便是包括董冲在内的一群外门长老，也是有意无意的跟黄诚保持了一段距离，似乎在对所有人说，他们虽然也是外门长老，却也不屑于和黄诚为伍。
黄诚被气得脸色涨红，一时却也是无言以对。
在段凌天公然以誓言之劫立下誓言的那一刻起，他就知道不会有人再相信他，就算他再说什么也没用。
“段凌天，别让我找到机会，否则我必杀你！” 怒极之下，黄诚狠狠的瞪了段凌天一眼，有些气急败坏的真气传音过后，飞身离去，消失在众人的眼前。
听到黄诚的威胁，段凌天却是一脸平静，并不在意。
就算没有刚刚发生的事，以黄诚的小鸡肚肠，只要他不将那三十六万功勋点还回去，黄诚也不会放过他。
既然如此，他有什么好顾虑的？
眼见黄诚也不辩解，就这么临阵脱逃了，现场再次响起了一阵嘘嘘声。
太无耻了！”
“以前怎么不知道黄诚长老这么无耻呢？”
“要我说，这样的人，根本没资格当外门长老！ 我们外门的脸，都被他丢光了。”
一群外门弟子似乎对段凌天的遭遇感同身受，纷纷破口大骂。
“谢谢大家的支持。” 段凌天高声开口，蕴含着真气的声音，压过了现场的噪杂声，“我刚才认真想了一下，觉得大家也不容易。
“明天正午，也是在演武场，大家带着你们手里的‘字据’来找我，领取你们的功勋点。”
段凌天的声音，传递开来。
“真的吗？” “段凌天师兄万岁！”
“谢谢段凌天师兄！”
“段凌天师兄真是好人，竟然愿意返还一半我们输了的功勋点。”
听到段凌天的话，一群外门弟子纷纷面露兴奋之色，一个个感恩戴德。
一群外门执事闻言，目光也是亮了起来。
邓威面露愤恨，近乎咆哮的质问道。

Chapter 1455 - Threats
“As Liu Huan’s tool for revenge, Zhou Qi didn’t even bother to clean up your body after you died. How sad is that?” After taking Feng Fan’s Spatial Ring, Duan Ling Tian glanced at his corpse indifferently before he walked away under everyone’s complicated gaze. It was obvious he was leaving now.
The crowd made way for him as he walked.
Although about 70% to 80% of outer court disciples had bet with Duan Ling Tian and lost quite a lot of Merit Points, they did not blame him at all.
In their opinion, they had lost because Feng Fan was useless.
They had placed such big bets on Feng Fan because he was an Earth Ranking’s powerhouse. They thought he would definitely be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian, an outer court disciple who had just entered the sect almost two months ago. However, the outcome was beyond their expectation.
Duan Ling Tian, an outer court disciple who had just entered the sect almost two months ago, had killed Feng Fan, an Earth Ranking’s powerhouse who was famous in the Moon Illumination Sect, in just one fell swoop.
“Duan Ling Tian, if you have any sense at all, you’ll find a time and come to my mansion to return me the Merit Points I bet on Feng Fan. Otherwise… Hurmph!” A True Energy Voice Transmission suddenly rang by Duan Ling Tian’s ears as he made his way out.
Duan Ling Tian was familiar with this voice that was filled with threats.
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Duan Ling Tian instantly came to a halt and shifted his eyes to the place where a group of outer court elders was standing before it finally landed on Elder Huang Cheng who had bet heavily yesterday.
Huang Cheng was furious when he saw how boldly Duan Ling Tian was staring at him in front of so many people and ignore his prestige.
The moment he spoke, he immediately demanded one million Merit Points from Duan Ling Tian!
It was obvious that he was treating Duan Ling Tian like a fat sheep that he could slaughter!
However, Duan Ling Tian instantly chuckled when he heard Huang Cheng’s words. He flashed a brilliant smile in front of everyone.
“Elder Huang Cheng! You came on your own accord yesterday and said you wanted to bet 360,000 Merit Points. Now that I’ve won, you’re threatening me to return you the 360,000 Merit Points? What kind of logic is this? Don’t tell me that an awe-inspiring outer court elder like you is going to take advantage of your power to bully people? Don’t tell me there are no laws in this sect?” Duan Ling Tian revealed Huang Cheng’s threats to the crowd as he narrowed his eyes.
The words left his mouth so fast that for a moment, Huang Cheng did not realize what was happening
The moment he regained his senses, he discovered the gaze of the people in the surrounding had changed when they looked at him.
“Elder Huang Cheng, is Duan Ling Tian telling the truth?” An outer court elder standing next to Huang Cheng asked indifferently. “If it’s true, you really have crossed the line.”
“That’s right! You’re an outer court elder, and you represent the sect… It’s really embarrassing that you’re such a sore loser,” another outer court elder added.
“If it was me, I’ll still admit defeat no matter how unwilling I am… Elder Huang Cheng, if you really did threaten Duan Ling Tian, you really need to improve your sportsmanship,” the outer court elders chimed in one after another.
The moment Huang Cheng heard the remarks made by the group of outer court elders, he muttered underneath his breath, “Easier said than done.” He glared at Duan Ling Tian and snarled, “Duan Ling Tian! How dare you slander me? Although 360,000 Merit Points is a lot, I don’t really care about it that much.”
Naturally, he was unwilling to admit his wrongdoing in front of so many people. It could cause him to lose his position as an outer court elder.
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s praise, not only was Deng Wei unhappy, but he was so furious he almost vomited blood.
Currently, he only had several thousands of Merit Points in his Crystal Card. It was impossible to say he was not bothered by it.
He did not threaten Duan Ling Tian because he knew threats were useless against Duan Ling Tian. He could only come up with other ideas and ways to kill Duan Ling Tian and snatch his Crystal Card.
At that time, not only would he get his 150,000 Merit Points, but he would also get the almost three million Merit Points in there.
He was just about to retort when Duan Ling Tian interrupted him again. “Elder Huang Cheng, although you’re an outer court elder, I won’t submit to your despotic ways! Unless I die, I won’t return the one million Merit Points to you!”
One million Merit Points!
The moment these words left Duan Ling Tian’s mouth, the look in the eyes that were trained on him changed again.
Those who were not fools could tell that Huang Cheng had threatened Duan Ling Tian and demanded one million Merit Points from him.
“Bah! And to think that he’s actually an outer court elder! He’s really an embarrassment to the outer court!”
“That’s right! Although I’m just an ordinary outer court disciple, I’m still willing to admit defeat! What a remarkable person! He dares to use his identity as an outer court elder to threaten Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian and demand for the return of his Merit Points! Moreover, he wanted Duan Ling Tian to give him one million Merit Points!”
“Isn’t he trying to cheat? How could there such a good thing in this world?”
The group of outer court disciples who had also placed a bet hurled all kinds of insults at him. They no longer cared if Huang Cheng was an elder or not. They vented all the anger they had been accumulating.
Huang Cheng was dumbfounded.
Currently, the situation had gone out of his control.
“Duan Ling Tian, don’t you know that by slandering the sect’s higher officials, you’ll be severely punished by the sect?” Huang Cheng snapped with a grave expression on his face.
His voice that contained True Energy drowned out the commotion in the surrounding.
“Slander?” Duan Ling Tian sneered. “Elder Huang Cheng, you keep saying that I’m slandering you. I wonder if you dare to make an oath using the Tribulation Oath to prove that you did not threaten me?”
“Hurmph! I’ve already said I did not threaten you! Who do you think you are? Do you think you’re worthy of me swearing an oath for you?” Huang Cheng snorted disdainfully.
“That’s right. You’re an awe-inspiring outer court elder and would not bother to make an oath for me… In that case, I’ll swear using the Tribulation Oath that if I falsely accuse you, I’m willing to be struck to death by the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation’s lightning penalty!” Naturally, Duan Ling Tian had his own countermeasure to deal with Huang Cheng’s shameless act. Huang Chen had a horrified expression on his face as Duan Ling Tian pricked his finger and a drop of fresh blood rose up into the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Nine claps of thunder resonated in the sky. That was the Tribulation Oath, the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, bearing witness to Duan Ling Tian’s oath. However, there was no lightning penalty that came to strike Duan Ling Tian to death.
Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!
The crowd was looking at Huang Cheng with a peculiar gaze now.
Prior to this, they were not 100% certain Huang Cheng had threatened Duan Ling Tian. However, they had no more doubts now that Duan Ling Tian had sworn an oath.
The Tribulation Oath would never lie.
That was the prestige of Heaven.
As the saying went, ‘God is watching what you’re doing.” Heaven does not favor anyone.
Currently, even the group of outer court elders, including Dong Chong, began to distance themselves from Huang Cheng, both intentionally and unintentionally. It was as though they found it disgraceful to be grouped together with Huang Cheng since they were all outer court elders.
Huang Cheng’s face turned red in fury. For a moment, he did not have any comeback at all.
From that moment Duan Ling Tian publicly swore by the Tribulation Oath, he knew that nobody would believe him anymore. It was futile no matter what he said.
“Duan Ling Tian! Don’t give me an opportunity to kill you!” Huang Cheng said angrily through True Energy Voice Transmission as he glared at Duan Ling Tian furiously. After that, he flew out and vanished before the crowd’s eyes.
Although Duan Ling Tian heard Huang Cheng’s threats, he was calm and was not bothered by it.
Even if the incident had not taken place, with how petty Huang Cheng was, he would not have let Duan Ling Tian go if he did not return him 360,000 Merit Points.
If that was the case, why should he be afraid?
The crowd gasped again when they saw Huang Cheng fleeing the scene without giving an explanation.
“Shameless! How shameless can he be?”
“How come I didn’t know Elder Huang Cheng is actually such a foolish person before this?”
“I must say that this kind of person is not worthy of becoming an outer court elder at all! He’s just an embarrassment to the outer court!”
The group of outer court disciples seemed to be deeply affected by Duan Ling Tian’s incident as all of them let loose a series of curses.
“Everyone! Thanks for your support,” Duan Ling Tian announced. His voice that contained True Energy drowned out the noise on the scene. “I thought about this earlier, and I feel that all of you did not have it easy as well. That’s why, apart from Elder Huang Cheng and Deacon Deng, I’ll return half of the Merit Points that all of you have bet! Tomorrow at noon, at this training field, please bring the written pledge in your hand and look for me. I’ll return you your Merit Points.”
Duan Ling Tian’s voice spread out.
“Really?”
“Long live Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian!”
“Thank you, Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian!”
“Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian is a really good person! He’s actually willing to return us our Merit Points!”
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the group of outer court disciples was overwhelmed with joy. Each of them felt deeply grateful to him.
The moment the group of outer court deacons heard this, their eyes lit up immediately as well.
“Duan Ling Tian! Why am I excluded?” Deng Wei yelled resentfully.

"value": "Chapter 110 Zhang Yuhuan\n\"Director Mu, we have checked this batch of raw stones. It is still good from the appearance of the product. It should be promising.\"\nThe moment that they arrived at Fantastic Stones Shop, several employees of Tianfu Branch came and reported. It seemed that they were responsible for purchasing raw stones here.\nMu Yanran nodded and said, \"I will hand it over to Director Yun. You get ready to load.\"\nShe turned to Ding Ning and said, \"Mr. Ding, sorry that I can't keep you company. You can hang around yourself.\"\nDing Ning asked curiously, \"Are you not a jewelry company? Why do you need to buy raw stones?\"\n\"Oh, there are too many jewelry companies in Ninghai now, and the pressure on competition is very high. The price of the raw stones from Myan is increasing lately, and so is the price of jades. If we directly buy jades to process, the cost would be very high. Therefore our company has also opened a stone gambling house. We could keep some raw stones that we are sure about the quality and cut them to make all kinds of jewels. Then we sell the rest that we are not sure about the quality in the stone gambling house. And if someone makes a good gamble, we also buy back and use it as raw material.\"\nMu Yanran politely explained.\nDing Ning nodded stunned and said with a smile, \"Can I have your contact, Miss Mu?\"\nMu Yanran did not seem to think that she would have anything to with him in the future. she looked at him without any expression and said, \"I don't think that's necessary.\"\n\"I have good carving skills, don't I? If you need me later, you can give me a call. Maybe I could be of help.\"\nDing Ning knew that if he needed to conquer the Queen, he must have the opportunity to contact her. What he could show off at the moment were his carving skills.\nHe deliberately revealed his carving skills to make the moment happen and did not believe that Mu Yanran could resist the temptation.\nAs expected, Mu Yanran's eyes brightened. She had always tried to avoid Ding Ning's attempt at her. Therefore she ignored his excellent carvings.\nAt this moment she realized that she had neglected her duty. She should try her best to draw a carving master with such excellent skills over to her side.\nShe glanced at the Zhang Pangzi who was behind them and kept looking to Ding Ning and suddenly realized that he was there to draw Ding Ning over to his side.\nThinking that even the owner of a small jewelry store had such a perspective, but she herself failed to seize the advantage of being in a favored position. She was such a loser.\nImmediately, she showed a smile and said, \"Mr. Ding, can you tell me what your job is?\"\n\"I, just graduated from college, and I am still unemployed for the time being. I may return to school to continue my studies.\"\nDing Ning replied calmly, but he whispered in his mind, \"Has Executive Zhou handled it yet? Why there is no news about my postgraduate study application?\"\nMu Yanran frowned and said after a short while, \"Since Mr. Ding has to continue your studies, you will definitely not be willing to work in any unit. I have a ruthless request. I don't know if I should ask it.\"\n\"Please go ahead!\" Ding Ning was a bit confused about Mu Yanran's purpose and said with respectful attention.\n\"I want to ask Mr. Ding to become the jade carving master of our company.\"\nSeeing that Ding Ning frowned and seemed to have the intent to refuse, Mu Yanran quickly explained, \"It's not the kind of full-time job. When we need Mr. Ding, I will contact you and make arrangements according to your time. The basic salary is 5,000 dollars. And we will pay you correspondingly according to the carving grade of the jade ware. What do you think, Mr. Ding?\"\n\"There is a basic salary? Isn't that a good treatment?\"\nDing Ning didn't really care about whether he would have a basic salary or not but the opportunity to get along with the Ice Queen, and Mu Yanran had already shown her sincerity. He certainly would not refuse her. Therefore he laughed and said with his hand reaching out, \"That's deal. I hope we would be good partners.\"\n\"Then I will have to bother you to go to the company with me, Mr. Ding. We will sign a contract. Our condition is only one. After signing with our company, you can no longer work for other companies, Mr. Ding.\"\n\"No problem!\" Ding Ning agreed without hesitation.\n\"Then please take a look around, Mr. Ding. We will go to the company later.\"\nMu Yanran breathed a sigh of relief and felt very happy. She did not hesitate to reach out her slim arm to shake hands with Ding Ning. For her, that was a big bargain.\nDing Ning definitely had the level of the top jade carving master. The monthly salary of 5,000 dollars per month was nothing. Even if she paid him 50,000 every month to support him, it was still a good deal.\nTo hire a top jade carving master would cost more than hundreds of thousand dollars or even one million dollars. And it depended on whether the master was happy to do it or not.\nOf course, Ding Ning didn't know that he had become a cheap worker in Mu Yanran's eyes and felt merry that he finally got the chance to get along with the Queen.\nOf course, even if he knew it, he wouldn't care. After all, Mu Yanran would arrange work according to his schedule.\nMu Yanran's way of doing things was effective and resolute. She left to negotiate with the boss here right away.\nDing Ning looked right and left like a curious baby. Seeing that Fantastic Stones Shop filled with raw stones, his heart burst with excitement. \"This is all money.\"\n\"Little brother, hello, my name is Zhang Yuhuan. I am the boss of Jubaozhai. We have met before.\"\nThe moment Mu Yanran left, Zhang Yuhuan ran up to him happily with a flattering smile and handed a quaint business card with both of his hands.\nOne could never refuse a smiling man. Ding Ning politely took the business card with his hands. But when he heard his name, his face looked quite weird.\n\"Zhang Yuhuan? Your parents are very talented. It's really apt to see your stomach like it's of pregnancy for seven or eight months. That's a typical fat size,\" thought Ding Ning.\nZhang Yuhuan also seemed to know that his name was funny, grinned, and said, \"It's the name given from my parents. There's nothing I can change. If you want to laugh at me, laugh. Don't hold it back.\"\n\"Haha!\"\nDing Ning couldn't help but laugh out loud. He started to have a very good opinion of this fat man who could face up to his shortcomings without taking other people's ridicule to heart. This kind of mindset could not be compared to an ordinary person's.\nAfter laughing for quite a while, Ding Ning got a bit embarrassed and said, \"Mr. Zhang, you are very generous. My apologies. However, being too fat is not a good thing. It would be a big burden to the heart.\"\n\"Oh, there is nothing I can do. I have been fat since I was a kid. I had done a lot of exercises when I was young, but it didn't work out. When I stopped, it would bounce back right away, and I would get fatter than before. I have tried many types of weight-losing products. None of them helped. I have also been to the hospital to check. The doctor said that it's easy for my body to absorb that I would gain weight even if I only drink water. Now I am too old to try. Therefore I let go.\"\nZhang Yuhuan sullenly rubbed the fat on his stomach, and the sweat on his forehead continued to flow like rain.\nDing Ning understood that well. Zhang Yuhuan was like his second master, who was also fat with a body that absorbed everything and turned all nutrition into fat. Even if he practiced in a high-intensitive way for decades, he didn't lose weight even for a little bit.\nOnly that his second master was full of muscles and healthy, and it was incomparable with Zhang Yuhuan's fat on his body.\nOf course, the most important thing was that his second master himself did not want to become thinner. It seemed to have something to do with the Kungfu he cultivated. Otherwise, not to mention the fourth master, even he could help the second master lose weight with his medical skills like a piece of cake.\nZhang Pangzi's word hit Ding Ning's heart. What he said made senses. As the living standards of modern people improved, more and more people became fat. Then people started to fall ill when getting fatter. It could get so serious that sometimes it put people's lives in danger. Although there were many types of weight-losing products, few of them could really work.\n\"This is a very promising and profitable market. If I develop a weight-losing product that effects quickly but won't rebound, wouldn't I make a lot of money?\" thought Ding Ning.\nThinking of this, Ding Ning got interested right away and said, \"Mr. Zhang, I have an ancestral weight-losing recipe, do you want to give it a try?\"\n\"Forget it, forget it, I have been used to it for so many years, and I am over fifty years of age, and I don't know need to find a woman or court a girl. What's the point in losing weight. I don't bother to try.\"\nZhang Pangzi waved his hand hastily. He had suffered a great deal from trying to lose weight. He had tried sweat steaming, exercising, slimming tea and so on, which made him sick that he had to go to the hospital several times.\nNow he became jittery at the mention of losing weight frightful and didn't want to think about it anymore. He said, \"I came to ask you where you work now, little brother. With such excellent carving skills, it would be a pity if you don't become a jade carving master.\"\nDing Ning shrugged helplessly, and said regrettably, \"Mr. Zhang wants me to go to Jubaozhai as a jade carving master right? It is a pity that I just made a promise to Director Mu and accepted her employment.\"\n\"What kind of treatment does she give you? Now you have not signed a contract yet, right? Well, let me talk about the treatment I give, and you can give it a thought.\"\nZhang Yuhuan got a bit disappointed but still struggled to fight for it. \"The monthly salary would be 50,000 dollars per month. Every time you carve a jade, I will pay you an extra amount according to its texture. What do you think?\"\nDing Ning's heart trembled, smiled, and shook his head. He didn't expect that the basic salary that Zhang Pangzi give would be ten times of that Mu Yanran gave. Even in Ninghai, a man with a basic salary of 50,000 per month was definitely of the high-income group.\n\"Mu Yanran, you little slyboots. How cunning you are.\" Ding Ning would have agreed without hesitation if it happened before. But now, money was no longer a thing for him. His purpose was to conquer Mu Yanran to satisfy himself with his interest in a queen.\nDing Ning's shaking his head made Zhang Yuhuan think that the price he gave was too low. He bit his teeth and said, \"100,000, the monthly salary will be 100,000 dollars. Every time you carve a jade, I will pay you extra. My company is small. And this is the best I could offer.\"\nZhang Yuhuan's sincerity had made Ding Ning a bit moved, but unfortunately, he still had to shake his head and refused. \"I am sorry, Mr. Zhang, It's not because the price you offered is low. On the contrary, the price you give is completely beyond my expectation. It's just that I have to be as good as my word. Now that I have already promised the other, I should keep my word. I am terribly sorry!\"\n\"It seems that I am really a bit lack of luck. If only I have asked earlier. Since you have already promised the other, I will not force you, little brother. If you have time, come to my store and let's have some tea. I would like to have you as a friend.\"\nZhang Yuhuan was also a very generous man. He was rejected by Ding Ning, but he was not angry. Instead, he was quite appreciative of Ding Ning's promise, and he wanted to make friends with him to take the second best.\nAs a qualified businessman, he knew that there was absolutely no harm to make friends with such an excellent jade carving master like Ding Ning. Maybe someday he would need to ask for his help someday.\nConnections had always been the most important thing for an excellent businessman, and some connections were even far more important than money.\nDing Ning apologized. \"Do you have a pen, Mr. Zhang?\"\n\"I have it in my bag.\" Although Zhang Yuhuan did not know what Ding Ning was doing, he still handed him a pen and a piece of paper to him.\nDing Ning didn't restrain himself and start writing bending over a raw stone with good penmanship.\nZhang Yuhuan looked at what he was writing curiously with his head tilted.

“穆总，这批原石毛料我们看过了，从品相看还都不错，应该有搞头。”
刚到奇石坊，就有几个天福分公司的员工迎了上来汇报道，看来是负责在这里选购原石毛料的。
穆嫣然点了点头：“那我和云总交接一下，你们准备装车。”
转身向丁宁道：“丁先生，那我就不奉陪了，你自己转转吧。”
丁宁好奇的问道：“你们不是珠宝公司吗？ 怎么还购买原石？”
“噢，现在宁海的珠宝公司太多，竞争压力很大，缅国那边最近原石也在涨价，翡翠的价格也在节节攀升，我们直接购买翡翠加工会增加我们很大的成本，所以我们公司也搞了个赌石场，一些拿得准的原石我们自己切出来在加工场加工成各种珠宝，拿不准的就在赌石场消耗掉，如果有人赌涨了，我们也可以买下来，充当我们的原料。”
穆嫣然客气的解释道。
丁宁恍然的点了点头，笑着说道：“穆总不留个联系方式吗？”
穆嫣然似乎并不觉得日后和他还能有什么交集，面无表情的看了他一眼，“没必要吧。”
“我的雕功还过得去吧？ 如果以后穆总有需要，打个电话给我，我或许可以出点力。”
丁宁知道，想要征服女王，必须要有和她接触的机会，他目前能拿得出手的就是雕功了。
他之前故意露那么一手，就是为了此刻，他不相信穆嫣然会不动心。
果然，穆嫣然眼前一亮，她之前也是始终在防范着丁宁打她的主意，所以忽略了他一手出色的雕功。
此刻她意识到自己失职了，有这样手艺的玉雕师该全力拉拢才是。
眼睛余光扫到始终跟在他们身后不远处，不时向丁宁张望的张胖子，这才恍然大悟，这家伙肯定是想来拉拢丁宁的。
想到一个小珠宝店的老板都有这样的眼光，自己却近水楼台没去捞月，真是太失败了。
当即脸上挤出一抹笑容：“丁先生，还没请问你现在在做什么工作？”
“我，大学刚毕业，暂时还是无业游民，接下来可能还会回学校继续读研。”
丁宁坦然的说道，心里暗自嘀咕也不知道周院长那边搞定没有，读研的事情怎么还没有动静。
穆嫣然蹙了蹙黛眉，沉吟片刻道：“丁先生既然还要继续深造，现在肯定不会愿意在哪个单位供职，我有个不情之请，不知道该不该开口。”
“你说！” 丁宁有些弄不清穆嫣然的套路，一副洗耳恭听的样子。
“我想请丁先生成为我们公司的玉雕师。”
见丁宁眉头皱起似有推脱的意思，穆嫣然连忙解释道：“并不是那种全职的，我们需要丁先生出手时，会给你打电话联系，按照你的时间来安排，底薪五千，然后每次按照雕刻的玉器档次不同给出相应的酬金，不知道丁先生觉得如何？”
“还有底薪？ 这待遇不错啊？”
丁宁其实并不在意有没有底薪，他在乎的是能够和冰山女王多点相处的机会，而且穆嫣然已经表现出了她足够的诚意，他自然不会推辞，笑着伸出手：
“成交，以后多关照。” “那等下麻烦丁先生跟我回一趟公司，我们签订一下合同，我们的条件就一个，在和我们公司签约后，丁先生不能再为别的公司服务。”
“没问题！” 丁宁毫不犹豫的答应下来。
“那丁先生你先四处看看，等下我来找你一起回公司。”
穆嫣然长出了口气，心里乐开了花，毫不吝啬的伸出葱白纤手和丁宁握了握，对她来说，这个便宜可赚大了。
丁宁绝对有着顶级玉雕师的水准，每个月五千底薪算什么，就算每个月五万养着他，这也是一笔划算的买卖。
要知道请动一个顶级玉雕师出手动辄就是几十上百万，就这还要看人家有没有这个心情。
丁宁哪里知道自己已经成为了穆嫣然眼中廉价的打工仔，心里美滋滋的，这下子可以有和女王接触的机会了。
当然，就算他知道了，也不以为意，毕竟穆嫣然会凑合他的时间来安排工作。
穆嫣然做事干净利索，雷厉风行，转身就去找这里的老板洽谈去了。
丁宁就跟个好奇宝宝似的左顾右盼，看着奇石坊里堆满了原石，心中一阵阵激动，这可都是钱啊。
“小兄弟，你好，我叫张玉环，聚宝斋的老板，咱们之前见过的。”
穆嫣然一走，张胖子立马屁颠屁颠的跑了过来，带着谄媚的笑容，双手递上了一张古香古色的名片。
伸手不打笑脸人，丁宁礼貌的双手接过名片，只是听到他的名字时，脸上的表情极为古怪。
张玉环？ 丫的你爹妈还真有才，看你这跟怀孕七八个月似的肚子，还真贴切啊，典型的环肥没有燕瘦啊。
张玉环似乎也知道自己的名字是个笑点，咧嘴嘿嘿一笑：“爹妈给的名字，没办法，你要是想笑就笑吧，别憋着了。”
“扑哧！”
丁宁忍不住笑出声来，对这个胖子的好感剧增，能够正视自己的短处，不在乎别人的嘲笑，光这心胸就不是一般人能比的。
笑了半天丁宁才有些不好意思的说道：“张老板，还真是心宽体胖，是我失礼了，不过人太胖了，对心脏的负担加大，可不是什么好事。”
“哎，没办法，我从小就胖，年轻时也加强锻炼过，但效果不大，而且只要一停，立马就开始反弹，比以前还胖，什么减肥产品都试过了，鸟用都没有，也去医院看过医生，医生说我是什么易吸收体质，喝凉水都长肉，现在年纪也大了，折腾不动了，也就得过且过了。”
张玉环苦恼的揉着肚子上的赘肉，额头上的汗珠跟下雨似的不停的流。
丁宁对此倒是很理解，就跟二师父似的，体重比张玉环也轻不了多少，他就是属于易吸收体质，吃点东西就能把营养全部转化为脂肪，哪怕几十年如一日的高强度训练，也没见他瘦下去一点。
只不过二师父身上的肉都是结实的肌肉，身体很健康，和张玉环这种满身虚肉的不能比。
当然，最主要的是二师父自己也不想变瘦，似乎是和他修炼的功夫有关，否则别说四师父了，就算以他的医术，让他瘦下去也跟玩似的。
张胖子的话却让丁宁心中一动，对啊，随着现代人生活水平的提高，胖子也越来越多，可人一旦胖了，各种毛病都出来了，严重的甚至危及生命，市面上的减肥产品虽然不少，但能够真正起作用的却不多。
这个市场是个很庞大很有钱途的市场啊，如果研发出一种见效快不反弹的减肥产品，岂不是大有赚头？
想到这里，丁宁顿时来了兴致，“张老板，我有一种祖传的减肥秘方，你要不要试一试？”
“算了，算了，我那么多年都习惯了，再说我都几十岁的人了，又不相亲又不泡妞的，还减什么肥啊，不折腾了。”
张胖子连连摆手，这些年减肥可让他遭了不少的罪，又是汗蒸，又是健身，又是拉肚子茶什么的，几次都把他折腾到医院里去了。
现在已经是闻虎色变，再也不想减肥的事情了：“我来是想请问小兄弟现在在哪里工作，以你的雕功不当玉雕师可惜了。”
丁宁无奈的耸了耸肩，抱歉的道：“张老板不会是想让我去聚宝斋当玉雕师吧？ 很可惜，我刚才才答应了穆总接受她的聘请了。”
现在你们肯定还没有签合同吧？ 这样吧，我先说说我给出的待遇，你再考虑考虑。”
张玉环心里一凉，但依然不死心的争取道：“每个月五万底薪，每加工一件玉器再根据其质地另算酬金，你觉得怎么样？”
丁宁心里一颤，苦笑着摇了摇头，没想到张胖子竟然给出穆嫣然十倍的底薪，要知道就算在宁海，每个月五万的底薪也绝对是高收入人群了。
穆嫣然这个小娘皮，还真是够黑的啊，若是以前，丁宁肯定会毫不犹豫的答应，可现在，钱对他来说再也不是事，他的目的只是想要征服穆嫣然，满足他的女王控愿望罢了。
丁宁的摇头让张玉环误以为他开始的价格太低，咬了咬牙一狠心道：“十万，每月底薪十万，每加工一件酬金另算，哥哥那庙小，这已经是我能开出的最大价码了。”
张玉环的诚意十足，让丁宁有些感动，但很遗憾，他还是只能摇头拒绝：“对不起啊张老板，不是你开出的价格低，相反，你开出的价格完全超出了我的预料，只是做人要言而有信，我既然已经答应了别人，就不会再出尔反尔，真的很抱歉！”
“看来我还真是差了点运气啊，我要是早点开口就好了，行，既然小兄弟已经答应了别人，我自然不会勉强，以后有空来我店里喝茶，就当是交个朋友好了。”
张玉环为人也颇为大气，被丁宁拒绝也没有恼羞成怒，反而对丁宁信守承诺颇为欣赏，退而求其次想要和他交个朋友。
作为一名合格的商人，他知道和丁宁这样优秀的玉雕师打好交道绝对没有坏处，指不定哪天就有求他帮忙的地方。
人脉，从来都是一个优秀的商人最注重的东西，有些人脉远远比金钱还要重要。
丁宁有些歉意的道：“张老板带纸笔没有？”
“我包里有。” 张玉环虽然不知道丁宁要干什么，还是麻溜儿的拿出纸笔递给他。
丁宁也不客气，趴在一块原石上笔走龙蛇的就写了起来。
张玉环好奇的歪头看着他写些什么，一看他的字顿时露出惊容。
作为一个古玩商，自然对字画也有着很深的研究，对书法的鉴赏力也不差。
丁宁虽然是在用水笔书写，但他的字看不出传承自哪位大家，反倒更像是自成一体，笔力苍劲，钩划峥嵘，金戈铁马的杀伐之气跃然纸上。
字如其人，眼前这个看起来年岁不大的青年到底是何人？
竟然有杀伐果敢、气吞山河之像，假以时日绝非池中之物。

Chapter 110 Zhang Yuhuan
"Director Mu, we have checked this batch of raw stones. It is still good from the appearance of the product. It should be promising."
The moment that they arrived at Fantastic Stones Shop, several employees of Tianfu Branch came and reported. It seemed that they were responsible for purchasing raw stones here.
Mu Yanran nodded and said, "I will hand it over to Director Yun. You get ready to load."
She turned to Ding Ning and said, "Mr. Ding, sorry that I can't keep you company. You can hang around yourself."
Ding Ning asked curiously, "Are you not a jewelry company? Why do you need to buy raw stones?"
"Oh, there are too many jewelry companies in Ninghai now, and the pressure on competition is very high. The price of the raw stones from Myan is increasing lately, and so is the price of jades. If we directly buy jades to process, the cost would be very high. Therefore our company has also opened a stone gambling house. We could keep some raw stones that we are sure about the quality and cut them to make all kinds of jewels. Then we sell the rest that we are not sure about the quality in the stone gambling house. And if someone makes a good gamble, we also buy back and use it as raw material."
Mu Yanran politely explained.
Ding Ning nodded stunned and said with a smile, "Can I have your contact, Miss Mu?"
Mu Yanran did not seem to think that she would have anything to with him in the future. she looked at him without any expression and said, "I don't think that's necessary."
"I have good carving skills, don't I? If you need me later, you can give me a call. Maybe I could be of help."
Ding Ning knew that if he needed to conquer the Queen, he must have the opportunity to contact her. What he could show off at the moment were his carving skills.
He deliberately revealed his carving skills to make the moment happen and did not believe that Mu Yanran could resist the temptation.
As expected, Mu Yanran's eyes brightened. She had always tried to avoid Ding Ning's attempt at her. Therefore she ignored his excellent carvings.
At this moment she realized that she had neglected her duty. She should try her best to draw a carving master with such excellent skills over to her side.
She glanced at the Zhang Pangzi who was behind them and kept looking to Ding Ning and suddenly realized that he was there to draw Ding Ning over to his side.
Thinking that even the owner of a small jewelry store had such a perspective, but she herself failed to seize the advantage of being in a favored position. She was such a loser.
Immediately, she showed a smile and said, "Mr. Ding, can you tell me what your job is?"
"I, just graduated from college, and I am still unemployed for the time being. I may return to school to continue my studies."
Ding Ning replied calmly, but he whispered in his mind, "Has Executive Zhou handled it yet? Why there is no news about my postgraduate study application?"
Mu Yanran frowned and said after a short while, "Since Mr. Ding has to continue your studies, you will definitely not be willing to work in any unit. I have a ruthless request. I don't know if I should ask it."
"Please go ahead!" Ding Ning was a bit confused about Mu Yanran's purpose and said with respectful attention.
"I want to ask Mr. Ding to become the jade carving master of our company."
Seeing that Ding Ning frowned and seemed to have the intent to refuse, Mu Yanran quickly explained, "It's not the kind of full-time job. When we need Mr. Ding, I will contact you and make arrangements according to your time. The basic salary is 5,000 dollars. And we will pay you correspondingly according to the carving grade of the jade ware. What do you think, Mr. Ding?"
"There is a basic salary? Isn't that a good treatment?"
Ding Ning didn't really care about whether he would have a basic salary or not but the opportunity to get along with the Ice Queen, and Mu Yanran had already shown her sincerity. He certainly would not refuse her. Therefore he laughed and said with his hand reaching out, "That's deal. I hope we would be good partners."
"Then I will have to bother you to go to the company with me, Mr. Ding. We will sign a contract. Our condition is only one. After signing with our company, you can no longer work for other companies, Mr. Ding."
"No problem!" Ding Ning agreed without hesitation.
"Then please take a look around, Mr. Ding. We will go to the company later."
Mu Yanran breathed a sigh of relief and felt very happy. She did not hesitate to reach out her slim arm to shake hands with Ding Ning. For her, that was a big bargain.
Ding Ning definitely had the level of the top jade carving master. The monthly salary of 5,000 dollars per month was nothing. Even if she paid him 50,000 every month to support him, it was still a good deal.
To hire a top jade carving master would cost more than hundreds of thousand dollars or even one million dollars. And it depended on whether the master was happy to do it or not.
Of course, Ding Ning didn't know that he had become a cheap worker in Mu Yanran's eyes and felt merry that he finally got the chance to get along with the Queen.
Of course, even if he knew it, he wouldn't care. After all, Mu Yanran would arrange work according to his schedule.
Mu Yanran's way of doing things was effective and resolute. She left to negotiate with the boss here right away.
Ding Ning looked right and left like a curious baby. Seeing that Fantastic Stones Shop filled with raw stones, his heart burst with excitement. "This is all money."
"Little brother, hello, my name is Zhang Yuhuan. I am the boss of Jubaozhai. We have met before."
The moment Mu Yanran left, Zhang Yuhuan ran up to him happily with a flattering smile and handed a quaint business card with both of his hands.
One could never refuse a smiling man. Ding Ning politely took the business card with his hands. But when he heard his name, his face looked quite weird.
"Zhang Yuhuan? Your parents are very talented. It's really apt to see your stomach like it's of pregnancy for seven or eight months. That's a typical fat size," thought Ding Ning.
Zhang Yuhuan also seemed to know that his name was funny, grinned, and said, "It's the name given from my parents. There's nothing I can change. If you want to laugh at me, laugh. Don't hold it back."
"Haha!"
Ding Ning couldn't help but laugh out loud. He started to have a very good opinion of this fat man who could face up to his shortcomings without taking other people's ridicule to heart. This kind of mindset could not be compared to an ordinary person's.
After laughing for quite a while, Ding Ning got a bit embarrassed and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are very generous. My apologies. However, being too fat is not a good thing. It would be a big burden to the heart."
"Oh, there is nothing I can do. I have been fat since I was a kid. I had done a lot of exercises when I was young, but it didn't work out. When I stopped, it would bounce back right away, and I would get fatter than before. I have tried many types of weight-losing products. None of them helped. I have also been to the hospital to check. The doctor said that it's easy for my body to absorb that I would gain weight even if I only drink water. Now I am too old to try. Therefore I let go."
Zhang Yuhuan sullenly rubbed the fat on his stomach, and the sweat on his forehead continued to flow like rain.
Ding Ning understood that well. Zhang Yuhuan was like his second master, who was also fat with a body that absorbed everything and turned all nutrition into fat. Even if he practiced in a high-intensitive way for decades, he didn't lose weight even for a little bit.
Only that his second master was full of muscles and healthy, and it was incomparable with Zhang Yuhuan's fat on his body.
Of course, the most important thing was that his second master himself did not want to become thinner. It seemed to have something to do with the Kungfu he cultivated. Otherwise, not to mention the fourth master, even he could help the second master lose weight with his medical skills like a piece of cake.
Zhang Pangzi's word hit Ding Ning's heart. What he said made senses. As the living standards of modern people improved, more and more people became fat. Then people started to fall ill when getting fatter. It could get so serious that sometimes it put people's lives in danger. Although there were many types of weight-losing products, few of them could really work.
"This is a very promising and profitable market. If I develop a weight-losing product that effects quickly but won't rebound, wouldn't I make a lot of money?" thought Ding Ning.
Thinking of this, Ding Ning got interested right away and said, "Mr. Zhang, I have an ancestral weight-losing recipe, do you want to give it a try?"
"Forget it, forget it, I have been used to it for so many years, and I am over fifty years of age, and I don't know need to find a woman or court a girl. What's the point in losing weight. I don't bother to try."
Zhang Pangzi waved his hand hastily. He had suffered a great deal from trying to lose weight. He had tried sweat steaming, exercising, slimming tea and so on, which made him sick that he had to go to the hospital several times.
Now he became jittery at the mention of losing weight frightful and didn't want to think about it anymore. He said, "I came to ask you where you work now, little brother. With such excellent carving skills, it would be a pity if you don't become a jade carving master."
Ding Ning shrugged helplessly, and said regrettably, "Mr. Zhang wants me to go to Jubaozhai as a jade carving master right? It is a pity that I just made a promise to Director Mu and accepted her employment."
"What kind of treatment does she give you? Now you have not signed a contract yet, right? Well, let me talk about the treatment I give, and you can give it a thought."
Zhang Yuhuan got a bit disappointed but still struggled to fight for it. "The monthly salary would be 50,000 dollars per month. Every time you carve a jade, I will pay you an extra amount according to its texture. What do you think?"
Ding Ning's heart trembled, smiled, and shook his head. He didn't expect that the basic salary that Zhang Pangzi give would be ten times of that Mu Yanran gave. Even in Ninghai, a man with a basic salary of 50,000 per month was definitely of the high-income group.
"Mu Yanran, you little slyboots. How cunning you are." Ding Ning would have agreed without hesitation if it happened before. But now, money was no longer a thing for him. His purpose was to conquer Mu Yanran to satisfy himself with his interest in a queen.
Ding Ning's shaking his head made Zhang Yuhuan think that the price he gave was too low. He bit his teeth and said, "100,000, the monthly salary will be 100,000 dollars. Every time you carve a jade, I will pay you extra. My company is small. And this is the best I could offer."
Zhang Yuhuan's sincerity had made Ding Ning a bit moved, but unfortunately, he still had to shake his head and refused. "I am sorry, Mr. Zhang, It's not because the price you offered is low. On the contrary, the price you give is completely beyond my expectation. It's just that I have to be as good as my word. Now that I have already promised the other, I should keep my word. I am terribly sorry!"
"It seems that I am really a bit lack of luck. If only I have asked earlier. Since you have already promised the other, I will not force you, little brother. If you have time, come to my store and let's have some tea. I would like to have you as a friend."
Zhang Yuhuan was also a very generous man. He was rejected by Ding Ning, but he was not angry. Instead, he was quite appreciative of Ding Ning's promise, and he wanted to make friends with him to take the second best.
As a qualified businessman, he knew that there was absolutely no harm to make friends with such an excellent jade carving master like Ding Ning. Maybe someday he would need to ask for his help someday.
Connections had always been the most important thing for an excellent businessman, and some connections were even far more important than money.
Ding Ning apologized. "Do you have a pen, Mr. Zhang?"
"I have it in my bag." Although Zhang Yuhuan did not know what Ding Ning was doing, he still handed him a pen and a piece of paper to him.
Ding Ning didn't restrain himself and start writing bending over a raw stone with good penmanship.
Zhang Yuhuan looked at what he was writing curiously with his head tilted. When he saw his words, he suddenly showed a face with surprise.
As an antique dealer, he naturally had studied well on calligraphy and painting, and his percipient of calligraphy was not bad.
Although Ding Ning was writing with a water pen, his penmanship didn't seem to be inherited from any famous calligrapher. On the contrary, it had a style of its own with the vigor of strokes and extraordinary structure.
The style was the man. Who was this man who looked so young in front of him? He was unexpectedly full of courage and daring. In time, he would be one above all.

He was a god, the divine flood dragon king, the esteemed god of the flood dragons, so how could he escape from trouble by shamelessly playing dead like Hu Ling’er and the rest? Thump.\nThe divine flood dragon king collapsed onto the floor, his limbs distorting. His death seemed to be even more miserable than that of Qin Mu, which made it evident it wasn’t his first time playing dead.\nThe huge head came down, but its eyes seemed to be bad. The giant face literally brushed across everyone’s bodies as they held their breaths and remained motionless. Issh.\nThe stone statue let out a long hiss before slowly straightening up to walk into the darkness. The thumping footsteps gradually went away.\n“This stone statue seems to be looking for something.” Qin Mu jumped up and pondered over it. “Where did it come from? Great Ruins? Or another world? What is it looking for?”\nHu Ling’er and all of the flood dragons crawled up while the divine flood dragon king patted the dust off his body. Hu Ling’er praised him, “Divine flood dragon king, among all of us, you’re the best at playing dead. You must have practiced it many times! When you are free, you must teach me more!”\nQin Mu walked away while saying, “Let’s continue our search. Everyone be careful, since we don’t know if there are other stone statues here! Divine flood dragon king, what’s your opinion of the one we saw earlier?”\nThe divine flood dragon king thought for a moment before saying, “That stone statue is most likely not from Great Ruins.”\nQin Mu was slightly stunned. “Not from Great Ruins? Why do you say so?”\n“The stone statues in Great Ruins brave the wind and rain, frost and cold, so all of them are very old and worn down. But this stone statue was quite clean and fresh, as though it had just become a stone statue.”\nBut the divine flood dragon king couldn’t be sure. “However, there are also stone statues in Great Ruins that are most peculiar, so it could be one which hides in some sealed space where the elements cannot reach it.”\nQin Mu muttered to himself irresolutely as he pondered over it. “Could there have been numerous stone statues hidden under God Broken Mountain Range? When it was destroyed, could they have risen up”\n“It’s a possibility,” the divine flood dragon king said. “Your Majesty, Dragon Rearing Sovereign had once said that the origin of God Broken Mountain Range was very fishy. It surrounded Great Ruins, separating it and Eternal Peace. Great Ruins was in a piece of chaos yet it was peaceful outside it, so there definitely had to be something wrong with God Broken Mountain Range.”\nAs they entered deeper into the strange place, the gray fog and the darkness grew thicker and thicker. The air was filled with a dullness that could make one go crazy, and from time to time, trembling from Earthquake Cauldron would come from afar.\nQin Mu headed toward the tremors, and not long after, they encountered a second stone statue. It also seemed to be searching for something.\n‘Divine flood dragon king’s words make sense’ Qin Mu avoided the stone statue and thought to himself, ‘These stone statues are most likely from under the God Broken Mountain Range!’\nA mountain range being able to hold back the peculiarity of Great Ruins was strange by itself. On what did it rely on to block the darkness of Great Ruins?\nSince Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had used Earthquake Cauldron to shatter God Broken Mountain Range, the darkness of Great Ruins had expanded by a hundred miles. Just from this point, it could be seen that God Broken Mountain Range had really possessed the ability to block the darkness.\nThe mountain range should have appeared after Founding Emperor Empire was wiped out and become Great Ruins. Qin Mu had once heard people saying that some god had created God Broken Mountain Range to separate Eternal Peace and Great Ruins and prevent people from Great Ruins to come in. When they created the mountains, they reached Mount Meru’s area, but because there was someone on top of Great Thunderclap Monastery, they took a detour.\nIt couldn’t be said for sure, but the god who had created the mountain range might have also buried numerous stone statues underneath it.\n“Young master, could this stone statue be one of those that popped up in Eternal Peace Empire?” Hu Ling’er asked. As Qin Mu froze, stunned, she added, “It might be the god statues from near God Broken Mountain Range. Because many gods of High Heavens and other strong practitioners had died here, the stone statues could use them as sacrificial offerings to come back to life. However, because the sacrifices weren’t enough, they couldn’t revive completely and can only move around.”\n“There’s this possibility as well,” Qin Mu said with some suspicion. “If that’s the case, what are the stone statues looking for?”\n“Of course it’s the Earthquake Cauldron that shattered God Broken Mountain Range!” Hu Ling’er said as though it was expected. “Earthquake Cauldron is their weapon and they need to find it to release all of its power. Although Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor shattered God Broken Mountain Range, he definitely didn’t release everything that was inside the cauldron.”\n“Ling’er is really smart!” Qin Mu praised.\nThe little fox was proud of herself.\n“It’s just that since the stone statues can move, why don’t they look for other meteorological weapons?” Qin Mu shook his head. “Finding other weapons would be much easier. On top of that, this place is still trembling, so it’s evident that Earthquake Cauldron is still releasing its power continuously. With that, it shouldn’t be too difficult for the stone statues to find it from the direction of the tremors. Because of that, what you guessed should be wrong. Divine flood dragon king’s guess is more logical.”\nHu Ling’er’s proudness vanished without a trace.\nSuddenly, Qin Mu stopped and collapsed to the floor to play dead again. Incomparably heavy footsteps came from in front of them as a tall stone statue walked toward them. Qin Mu narrowed his eyes and saw that the back of that stone statue was filled with flags. They had also petrified, but there was a huge eye on each and every flag, which looked very strange.\nLumps of black qi poured into the flags behind the stone statue. With it, one of the eyes on a flag gradually transformed from rock into flesh and blood. The eye slowly became a true eye.\nIt rolled around in the flag, looking very rough. It was obvious that the energy wasn’t enough for it to completely break free of its petrified state.\n‘Devil eye! The stone statue is a devil!’\nQin Mu’s scalp crawled and he almost jumped up. Since it was a devil, it definitely couldn’t be a stone statue from under God Broken Mountain Range. What walked in Great Ruins in the darkness were the monsters of the devil race. They weren’t afraid of the strangeness because they were the peculiarity themselves!\nQin Mu once met a devil god in the darkness, and he had lured them forward, making him mistake the outskirts of Fengdu as Carefree Village. Village Chief had even fought with him!\n‘That’s not right. If these stone statues are devil gods, why did they become stone statues? The devil gods I saw in the past were all full of vigor!’\nAll kinds of thoughts jumped around in his head, and he suddenly thought of a possibility. The world of the stone statues wasn’t the one overlapping with Great Ruins and Eternal Peace. They weren’t the devil gods from Great Ruins, but had come from another world. Because they traversed into another world, their corporeal bodies turned into stone and their power still remained outside!\n‘What exactly is going on in this place?’\nQin Mu’s mind was groggy. At night in Great Ruins, there were three to five different worlds, but now that God Broken Mountain Range had crumbled, a new world had shown up!\n‘Is that new world going to overlap with Eternal Peace? Why did such an unimaginable thing happen?’\nJust as he thought this far, the devil eye on the flag rolled to survey the surroundings. Suddenly, its gaze landed on Qin Mu and the rest who were playing dead on the ground, and playfulness appeared in it.\nThe flag suddenly fell off the back of the stone statue and landed right in front of them. Qin Mu abandoned his plans to play dead and immediately rose while shouting, “Divine flood dragon king!”\nThe divine flood dragon king instantly transformed back into his original form when he heard him. Qin Mu brought Hu Ling’er to jump onto its while the dragon qilin led the other flood dragons to climb up the dragon’s back. The divine flood dragon then whooshed and rushed away!\nBehind them, the stone statue turned around and its hand slammed down at an extremely fast speed!\nThe divine flood dragon king roared, and all his vital qi exploded, turning into a torrenting flood. It transformed into a long river which quickly coiled around the arm of the stone statue, trying to crush it.\nThe arm of that stone statue bent and straightened, and with that, the divine art of the divine flood dragon king was shattered.\nHe felt his blood ran cold and shouted, “Your Majesty, it’s a true god!”\n“It should be a true devil!” Qin Mu corrected him.\nThe stone statue raised its feet and caught up to them in a few steps. The other hand came slamming down, and the divine flood dragon king avoided the strike. In the meantime, the flag soared into the sky before landed on the ground. The devil eye on it continued to stare at the group.\nWhen the divine flood dragon king escaped a certain distance away, the petrified flag would soar up once again and land close to them. It was like a hopping flag.\n“The stone statue is relying on that eye to see! Without it, the devil god won’t be able to locate us!”\nQin Mu instantly came to a realization and took out Sun Jade Eye from his taotie sack. He immediately placed it eye on the dragon’s back and activated it without a word. Hmmmm!\nA beam of sun divine ray tore apart the darkness and the fog, slicing at the eye on the flag. A black ray instantly shot out from the devil eye as well, blocking the sun divine ray.\nQin Mu grabbed Moon Jade Eye with his other hand and adjusted its direction. A thin light blade shot out from Moon Jade Eye, and wherever it passed by, space would literally solidify into substance!\nThe rays from one a and a moon instantly tore apart the black ray from the devil eye and shattered the eye. The petrified flag was left with only a broken hole!\n‘Using Moon Jade Eye and Sun Jade Eye together seems to result in an even greater power!”\n“Don’t move.” Qin Mu whispered under his breath. The divine flood dragon king immediately stopped and Qin Mu said softly, “Slowly walk, don’t hurry…”\nThe divine flood dragon king slowly crept forward in fear of making any sound while Qin Mu stared intensely at the stone statue. It seemed to be looking around, smashing here and kicking there, but it didn’t notice them.\n“Continue walking!” Qin Mu didn’t turn back his head.\n“Your Majesty, look ahead!” the divine flood dragon king croaked.\nHu Ling’er’s voice was also trembling. “Young master, look ahead…”"

第四百三十三章
蛟王神见到秦牧也倒地装死，不由手足无措，他是神祇，堂堂的蛟王神，尊贵的蛟龙神祇，岂能像秦牧狐灵儿他们一样恬不知耻靠装死躲过一劫？
蛟王神倒地，四肢扭曲，死相比秦牧还要凄惨很多，显然是并非第一次装死。
那张巨大的面孔俯下，这尊石像似乎目力有些不好，巨大的面孔几乎是贴着他们的身体划过，众人屏住呼吸，一动不动。
那尊石像口中发出长长的声音，然后缓缓直起身来，走入黑暗中，咚咚的脚步声渐渐远去。
“这个石像，像是在寻找什么。” 秦牧一跃而起，思索道：“他们是从哪里来的？ 大墟？
他们寻找什么东西？” 狐灵儿和一众蛟龙纷纷爬起，蛟王神也拍了拍身上的灰尘，狐灵儿赞道：“蛟王神，我们之中就属你装的最像，你一定练过很多次！ 有空的话，一定要多多教我！”
蛟王神涨红了脸，讷讷道：“我没有，别瞎说！ 秦牧向前走去，道：“咱们继续搜寻，大家小心一些，不知道这里是否还有其他石像！
蛟王神思索片刻，道：“这个石像，多半不是来自大墟。”
秦牧微微一怔：“不是来自大墟？ 何出此言？”
“大墟的石像风吹雨打，饱经寒霜，石像都很陈旧，而这尊石像则是光鲜得很，像是刚刚变化成石像一般。”
蛟王神也不敢肯定，道：“不过，大墟中石像最多，最是诡异，说不定石像也是从大墟中来的，多半是躲在某个密封的空间中，所以不显得陈旧。”
秦牧沉吟，思索道：“难道是神断山脉下面埋藏了许多石像，神断山脉被毁，这些石像破土而出？”
“有这个可能。” 蛟王神道：“主公，豢龙君曾经说过，神断山脉的来历本来非常蹊跷，这条山脉挡住了大墟，分开了大墟与延康，大墟内一片混乱，而大墟外面却安然无恙，神断山脉里面肯定有问题。”
他们深入这片诡异之地，灰雾越来越重，黑暗也越来越重，空气中充斥着令人发狂的沉闷，时不时还有震鼎的震动声从远处传来，一声接着一声。
秦牧循着这股震动向前走去，没过多久他们遇到了第二尊石像，这尊神像也在黑暗和迷雾中搜寻，似乎也在寻找着什么。
秦牧避开这尊石像，心道：“这些石像多半是来自神断山脉的地底！”
一条山脉隔断了大墟的诡异，本身便非常诡异，神断山脉靠什么挡住大墟的黑暗？
这次延康国师用震鼎震塌了神断山脉，以至于大墟的黑暗入侵了百余里，从这一点来看，神断山脉的确起到阻挡黑暗的功用。
这座山脉应该是出现在开皇国灭亡，变成大墟之后，秦牧曾经听人说过，是有神在这里造出了神断山脉，用来隔断大墟与延康，免得大墟里的人跑出来。 造山时，造到须弥山处时，因为大雷音寺上头有人，所以绕过了须弥山。
说不定，当时造山的神将许多石像埋在山里。
狐灵儿问道。 秦牧微微一怔，狐灵儿道：“可能神断山脉附近便有神像，因为这里战死了很多上苍神祇和其他强者，石像以他们为血祭的祭品，所以活过来了。
“也有这个可能。” 秦牧疑惑道：“倘若那样的话，那么石像在寻找什么？”
“当然是震塌神断山脉的震鼎！” 狐灵儿理所当然道：“震鼎是他们的武器，他们需要寻到震鼎，将鼎中的地震彻底释放出来灭世。 延康国师震塌神断山脉，肯定没有将震鼎的威力完全释放出来。”
“灵儿真聪明！” 秦牧赞道。
小狐狸得意洋洋。
“只是，石像既然能够走动，为何不去寻找其他天象武器？” 秦牧摇头道：“寻找其他天象武器对石像来说更加容易。
所以，你猜的应该是错的，蛟王神的猜测更合理。” 狐灵儿得意劲儿不翼而飞。
突然，秦牧停下脚步，再度倒地装死，前方又传来沉重无比的脚步声，一尊高大的石像向他们走来。 秦牧眼睛偷偷张开一条缝，只见这个石像背上插满了旗帜，旗帜也已经石化，不过每一面旗帜都有一只巨大的眼睛，很是诡异。
一团团黑气飞来，飞速的没入石像背后的旗帜中，却见其中一面旗帜上的眼睛渐渐从石头演变，接着化作血肉，眼瞳眼白慢慢变成真正的眼睛。
这只眼睛在旗帜中咕噜滚动一下，很是晦涩，显然能量不够，无法让这只眼睛从石化中完全解脱出来。
“魔眼！ 石像是魔族！”
秦牧头皮发麻，险些跳将起来，既然是魔族，那么这些石像绝不可能是神断山脉地底的石像，黑暗中的大墟，横行的就是魔族的魔怪，他们不怕大墟黑暗中的诡异，因为他们就是诡异！
秦牧还曾经遇到过黑暗中的魔神，那尊魔神引诱他前去，让他误以为酆都外围就是无忧乡，村长还曾经与那尊魔神有过交锋！
“不对，不对，这些石像是魔族魔神的话，他们为何会变成石像？ 我从前见过的魔神都是活蹦乱跳龙精虎猛！”
他脑中各种念头蹦出来，突然想到一个可能，那就是这些石像所在的世界与大墟和延康都并不重叠，他们不是大墟中的魔神，而是来自另一个世界，因此他们穿越到这个世界时，需要将肉身化作石头，他们的力量无法过来！
“这块地方到底是怎么回事？”
秦牧脑中浑浑噩噩，大墟的夜晚，出现了三五个不同的世界，而现在神断山脉倒塌，又出现一个新的世界入侵！
“难道又有一个世界要与延康国重叠了吗？ 为什么会发生这种不可思议的事情？”
他刚刚想到这里，那面旗帜上的魔眼滚动来去，打量四周，突然目光落在倒在地上装死的他们身上，那只魔眼露出戏谑之色。 秦牧心中凛然。
那面旗帜突然从石像身后落下，插在他们前方，秦牧不再装死，立刻飞身而起，喝道：“蛟王神！”
蛟王神闻言立刻化作原形，秦牧抱起狐灵儿纵身跳到龙背上，龙麒麟带着其他蛟龙玛哈玛哈的爬到龙背上，蛟王神呼啸向前冲去！
而在他们身后，石像转身，大手盖下，速度极快！
蛟王神怒吼，一身元气炸开，化作滔天大水，大水化作长江，沿着石像手臂飞速向上缠绕，打算将这条手臂绞碎。
那石像手臂弯曲，绷直，一弯一伸，便将蛟王神的神通震得粉碎。
蛟王神毛骨悚然，厉声叫道：“主公，是真神！”
“是真魔才对！” 秦牧纠正道。
那石像脚步抬起落下，几步间追上蛟王神，另一只大手盖下，蛟王神连忙躲避，而那面旗帜则凌空飘起，又咄的一声插下，旗面上的魔眼依旧盯着他们。
等到蛟王神逃出一段距离，石化的旗帜再度飞起，又插到他们不远处，像是一面蹦蹦跳跳的旗子。
“这石像是靠那只眼睛视物！ 没有了这只眼睛，石像便看不到我们！”
秦牧顿时醒悟，立刻从饕餮袋中取出太阳玉眼，将玉眼放在龙背上，不由分说便将玉眼启动。
一道太阳神光撕裂黑暗和迷雾，切在那面旗帜的魔眼上，魔眼中顿时射出一道黑光，将太阳神光挡住。
秦牧另一手抓出太阴玉眼，调整方向，太阴玉眼中也是一道薄薄的光刃射出，所过之处空间几乎凝固成实质！
一阴一阳两枚玉眼的光芒顿时撕裂魔眼的黑光，将旗帜中的那只魔眼轰得粉碎，石化的旗帜中央只剩下一个破洞！
“太阴玉眼和太阳玉眼一起催动，好像威力更强一些！”
秦牧压下心头的惊讶，抬头看去，只见魔眼消失，那尊石像的动作突然僵住，侧着耳朵，似乎在倾听什么。 “别动。”
蛟王神蹑手蹑脚向前走去，唯恐发出任何声音，秦牧死死的盯着那尊石像，石像似乎在东张西望，这边锤一下，那边踢一脚，但是依旧没有发觉到他们。
“继续走啊！”
秦牧头也不回道。 “主公，看前面！”
蛟王神声音沙哑道。

Chapter 433 - Contact with Another World
DarkGem When the divine flood dragon king saw Qin Mu also lying on the floor and acting dead, he was at a loss. He was a god, the divine flood dragon king, the esteemed god of the flood dragons, so how could he escape from trouble by shamelessly playing dead like Hu Ling’er and the rest? Thump.

However, because the sacrifices weren’t enough, they couldn’t revive completely and can only move around.”
“There’s this possibility as well,” Qin Mu said with some suspicion. “If that’s the case, what are the stone statues looking for?”
“Of course it’s the Earthquake Cauldron that shattered God Broken Mountain Range!” Hu Ling’er said as though it was expected. “Earthquake Cauldron is their weapon and they need to find it to release all of its power. Although Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor shattered God Broken Mountain Range, he definitely didn’t release everything that was inside the cauldron.”
“Ling’er is really smart!” Qin Mu praised.
The little fox was proud of herself.
“It’s just that since the stone statues can move, why don’t they look for other meteorological weapons?” Qin Mu shook his head. “Finding other weapons would be much easier. On top of that, this place is still trembling, so it’s evident that Earthquake Cauldron is still releasing its power continuously. With that, it shouldn’t be too difficult for the stone statues to find it from the direction of the tremors. Because of that, what you guessed should be wrong. Divine flood dragon king’s guess is more logical.”
Hu Ling’er’s proudness vanished without a trace.
Suddenly, Qin Mu stopped and collapsed to the floor to play dead again. Incomparably heavy footsteps came from in front of them as a tall stone statue walked toward them. Qin Mu narrowed his eyes and saw that the back of that stone statue was filled with flags. They had also petrified, but there was a huge eye on each and every flag, which looked very strange.
Lumps of black qi poured into the flags behind the stone statue. With it, one of the eyes on a flag gradually transformed from rock into flesh and blood. The eye slowly became a true eye.
It rolled around in the flag, looking very rough. It was obvious that the energy wasn’t enough for it to completely break free of its petrified state.
‘Devil eye! The stone statue is a devil!’
Qin Mu’s scalp crawled and he almost jumped up. Since it was a devil, it definitely couldn’t be a stone statue from under God Broken Mountain Range. What walked in Great Ruins in the darkness were the monsters of the devil race. They weren’t afraid of the strangeness because they were the peculiarity themselves!
Qin Mu once met a devil god in the darkness, and he had lured them forward, making him mistake the outskirts of Fengdu as Carefree Village. Village Chief had even fought with him!
‘That’s not right. If these stone statues are devil gods, why did they become stone statues? The devil gods I saw in the past were all full of vigor!’
All kinds of thoughts jumped around in his head, and he suddenly thought of a possibility. The world of the stone statues wasn’t the one overlapping with Great Ruins and Eternal Peace. They weren’t the devil gods from Great Ruins, but had come from another world. Because they traversed into another world, their corporeal bodies turned into stone and their power still remained outside!
‘What exactly is going on in this place?’
Qin Mu’s mind was groggy. At night in Great Ruins, there were three to five different worlds, but now that God Broken Mountain Range had crumbled, a new world had shown up!
‘Is that new world going to overlap with Eternal Peace? Why did such an unimaginable thing happen?’
Just as he thought this far, the devil eye on the flag rolled to survey the surroundings. Suddenly, its gaze landed on Qin Mu and the rest who were playing dead on the ground, and playfulness appeared in it.
The flag suddenly fell off the back of the stone statue and landed right in front of them. Qin Mu abandoned his plans to play dead and immediately rose while shouting, “Divine flood dragon king!”
The divine flood dragon king instantly transformed back into his original form when he heard him. Qin Mu brought Hu Ling’er to jump onto its while the dragon qilin led the other flood dragons to climb up the dragon’s back. The divine flood dragon then whooshed and rushed away!
Behind them, the stone statue turned around and its hand slammed down at an extremely fast speed!
The divine flood dragon king roared, and all his vital qi exploded, turning into a torrenting flood. It transformed into a long river which quickly coiled around the arm of the stone statue, trying to crush it.
The arm of that stone statue bent and straightened, and with that, the divine art of the divine flood dragon king was shattered.
He felt his blood ran cold and shouted, “Your Majesty, it’s a true god!”
“It should be a true devil!” Qin Mu corrected him.
The stone statue raised its feet and caught up to them in a few steps. The other hand came slamming down, and the divine flood dragon king avoided the strike. In the meantime, the flag soared into the sky before landed on the ground. The devil eye on it continued to stare at the group.
When the divine flood dragon king escaped a certain distance away, the petrified flag would soar up once again and land close to them. It was like a hopping flag.
“The stone statue is relying on that eye to see! Without it, the devil god won’t be able to locate us!”
Qin Mu instantly came to a realization and took out Sun Jade Eye from his taotie sack. He immediately placed it eye on the dragon’s back and activated it without a word. Hmmmm!
A beam of sun divine ray tore apart the darkness and the fog, slicing at the eye on the flag. A black ray instantly shot out from the devil eye as well, blocking the sun divine ray.
Qin Mu grabbed Moon Jade Eye with his other hand and adjusted its direction. A thin light blade shot out from Moon Jade Eye, and wherever it passed by, space would literally solidify into substance!
The rays from one a and a moon instantly tore apart the black ray from the devil eye and shattered the eye. The petrified flag was left with only a broken hole!
‘Using Moon Jade Eye and Sun Jade Eye together seems to result in an even greater power!”
“Don’t move.” Qin Mu whispered under his breath. The divine flood dragon king immediately stopped and Qin Mu said softly, “Slowly walk, don’t hurry…”
The divine flood dragon king slowly crept forward in fear of making any sound while Qin Mu stared intensely at the stone statue. It seemed to be looking around, smashing here and kicking there, but it didn’t notice them.
“Continue walking!” Qin Mu didn’t turn back his head.
“Your Majesty, look ahead!” the divine flood dragon king croaked.
Hu Ling’er’s voice was also trembling. “Young master, look ahead…”

"value": "Chapter 205: Leaving Blackhot City Translator: WQL Editor: DarkGem\nThe next noon, in the railway station of Blackhot City, the military train that was going to leave had already blown its first whistle, which indicated urgency and that the train was about to set off.\n\"Is everyone ready?\" Lieutenant Colonel Reinhardt asked, looking out the carriage for the last time. By then, the last soldiers of Iron-Blood Camp had jumped onto the train from the platform.\n\"Everybody is in!\" Major Guderian cleaned his glasses. \"Everybody and all the equipment is on the train! Besides one wounded soldier, everybody of Iron-Blood Camp is already in.\"\n\"Fine, set off!\" Lieutenant Colonel Reinhardt ordered. At the same time, he thought back to Zhang Tie's young face and felt slightly regretful inside.\nAfter blowing the third whistle, the military train started to move slowly.\n\"What a pity!\"\nMajor Guderian took off his golden-frame glasses and slowly cleaned them with a piece of cloth. In the Iron-Blood Camp as a whole, only major Guderian and Lieutenant Colonel Reinhardt knew that Gregory family had given Zhang Tie a vial of advanced recovery medicament once he left the hospital. If Zhang Tie had used that vial of medicament, he should have been able to follow in the steps of the Iron-Blood Camp. However, Zhang Tie was not here; therefore, major Guderian let out a sigh.\nThe carriage was filled with military officers of the Iron-Blood Camp. For Guderian's slight sigh, nobody made any response, instead, they all kept quiet.\n\"Nothing to feel regretful about. This might be karma between people as was said by marshal Lin Changjiang!\" Reinhardt stated, hitting the point.\n... The train sped up. Right then, people in the carriage of military officers seemed to hear increasingly louder voices shouting 'come on' from carriages that carried common soldiers behind them.\nLieutenant Colonel Reinhardt and many military officers were curious, and they looked out the windows once again. Everybody saw an SUV rushing out of the tunnel near the platform. Soon, that SUV caught up with a carriage between the middle part and the end of the train. The soldiers of Iron-Blood Camp in the carriage had opened the door and were shouting loudly to encourage the black-haired guy who was standing on the seat behind the driver.\nWith a large military pack on his back, he was holding a huge sword. With the encouragements, that man first threw in his luggage into the carriage before following it with his terrifying sword, letting some soldiers hold it for a moment. Finally, he jumped out of the SUV like a fierce tiger and rolled into the train's carriage. Hit by this flesh-bomb, several soldiers screamed miserably...\nHearing the screams, all the soldiers who were encouraging him from the other carriages burst out laughing loudly.\nFive minutes later, somewhat embarrassed, Zhang Tie appeared in the military officers' carriage where Lieutenant Colonel Reinhardt was in.\n\"Boss, Zhang Tie, second lieutenant, platoon leader of Third Platoon, Fifth Company has recovered, I'm requesting to return to my troop!\" Standing in front of Reinhardt, Zhang Tie gave a military salute to the boss of the Iron-Blood Camp.\n\"Agreed!\" Reinhardt revealed a wisp of a smile at the corner of his mouth. Looking at this young man before him, he suddenly felt very happy. \"Have you recovered?\"\n\"Yea!\" Zhang Tie patted his chest. \"It's already been a couple of days, but due to something, I've came back a few days later!\"\n\"What thing?\" Being a bit serious, Chief of Staff Guderian asked.\n\"Chief of Staff... uhm... you know that I've just had the circumcision... I've held back for over ten years and my girlfriends could not wait any more. But it was not convenient to do that in the camp...\"\nZhang Tie became a bit bashful.\n\"Badass!\" After swearing at Zhang Tie, Major Guderian couldn't stop himself from laughing. Of course he knew how Zhang Tie had gotten his nickname 'Second Lieutenant Mummy'.\nZhang Tie then took a seat. As he saw Blackhot City grow smaller, many thoughts flashed across his mind. ...\nAt this time, at home, Alice was holding the delicate gift box packed in blue package paper, which was brought by Pandora and Beverly at Zhang Tie's request. She was looking at the two of them with a curious expression.\n\"What's inside?\" she asked Pandora.\n\"Just open it!\" Pandora smiled, encouraging her.\nAlice then opened the outer blue gift box. Like all the other girls, the moment she saw the logos of Mrs. Diss and Milan as well as the flower, she also exclaimed.\nWhen these items were put together, every girl would like it.\nAlice then opened the two boxes inside, the bigger box contained a set of beautiful blue underclothes while the smaller box contained an expensive ring with a huge sapphire on it.\nDuring the past week, Alice was in a low mood. However, filled with such a great pleasure, she immediately burst into a smile which was as fresh as a flower.\n\"Was it Zhang Tie who requested you to bring it here?\"\nAlice's eyes were fixed on the two items in her hands, she loved them so much.\n\"Who else except him?\"\n\"Why didn't he come here himself?\" Face blushed, Alice put the set of blue underclothes close to herself and found it well-matching. \"That badass, lady-killer, who only knows how to make girls happy...\"\n\"He didn't know how to face you; therefore he asked us to send it to you...\" Pandora calmly said.\n\"Where's he?\"\nAlice's movements became slightly stiff.\n\"Went to Kalur. He should be on the military train by now. The Iron-Blood Camp, which he's in, was dispatched to join the war between the Norman Empire and Sun Dynasty in Kalur as the vanguard of No. 39 Division...\" Beverly said dejectedly.\nAlice's face immediately turned pale.\n\"Did he say something for me before he left?\" Alice's voice trembled slightly.\n\"He had carved what he wanted to say on your ring!\" Thinking of the words on that finger ring with a ruby on it that Zhang Tie had gifted her, Beverly started to drop off tears. So many people had sworn her as a bitch, male or female; however, only Zhang Tie knew she was as pure as ruby. With a good man like Zhang Tie, Beverly had been satisfied, no matter whether she could stay with Zhang Tie in the future.\nTaking the ring, Alice finally saw such a line of words on its back. She thought she could see Zhang Tie's smile again...\nThat was a man who truly treated her well, a man who would be enraged at the sight of her being chased by a group of wild wolves, a man who would use his own body to shield her from a bolt at the most dangerous moment! When she dropped off tears before that man for the first time, that man controlled his greed at the most critical moment and silently put on his pants for her, leaving her her most precious thing.\nAlice had not imagined that it might be her last meeting with Zhang Tie. When he was going to leave, he had people send this ring full of bliss to her along with a set of suitable underclothes chosen by him.\nAlice then burst into tears, loudly, before rushing out of her home and running towards the railway station. She wanted to to have a look at that man for the last time, however, she failed to catch up with that military train in the end...\nAt this moment, in another place of Blackhot City, Barley, Hista, Doug, Bagdad, and Leit had taken out what Zhang Tie had left for them.\nThat was a leather case containing 600 gold coins and Zhang Tie's letter to them.\n'Brothers, I will set off for Kalur. You're my brothers. So are those brothers of the Iron-Blood Camp. They were ready to sacrifice themselves for me, so I can only sacrifice myself for them. I don't want to make this like a will. But sometimes, I have to tell you the truth. Because I'm not god, there's also a chance for me to not come back. Additionally, the casualty rate of the Iron-Blood Camp of No. 39 Division is the highest in the Iron-Horn Army.\n'If I give each of you 100 gold coins just like that, I know none of you will take it just like Sharwin. Because our friendship is worth more than this amount. Here, I want you to take them all. The reason is very simple. If I cannot come back, I just want to try my best to do something for my brothers. Why? Because the holy war between human beings and the demons will soon come.\n'I was told this by the most reliable person when he left Blackhot City. I trust him. Maybe in the next few years, the situation of the entire Blackson Human Clan Corridor will see a great change. Since Blackhot City won't be safe then, you should plan to leave here as soon as possible. If I had the ability, I would've done more for you, but please forgive me, I can only do this. This money will be my compensation for the amount of coins that I've plundered from you at the beginning.\n'Previously, I had a lot of words to say, but I don't know how to say it all, so that's it!\n'If I survive and come back to find that none of you received my good intentions, I will be very angry. I swear to beat the sh*t out of any who does that.\n'Hista, you bastard should better not take this money for women. You should think more about how to escape together with your women.\n'Doug, you don't look like that person who excels at making money or spending money. If you have trouble, don't forget to negotiate with Barley that bastard. He will not let you suffer a loss.\nBagdad, when I left the Iron-Thorns Fighting Club, I told manager Hance that if you would like to go there, they should arrange a very proper location for you, which is definitely better than being a serviceman in the fighting club where you are working at.\n'Sharwin, no matter what happens in the future, don't face it alone, remember that you've got so many good brothers.\n'Barley, I know you cute Fatty are the most righteous one. I'm very happy to be brothers with you.\n'Yours sincerely!'\nReading Zhang Tie's letter, the group was on the verge of tears, but by the end, they all burst out laughing.\n\"Zhang Tie, this bastard!\"\nNot until they finished reading did Hista realize that Doug seemed to have rubbed on his clothes twice just now. 'What does that mean?' Feeling something not right, he lowered his head, and then immediately jumped up!\n\"Ah, Doug, you bastard! What disgusting thing have you smeared on my clothes? I'll kill you, ah...\"\nIn the distance, the military train that contained all the soldiers and equipment of the Iron-Blood Camp was driving towards the far off south. Looking at the disappearing outline of Blackhot City in the horizon, Zhang Tie mumbled inside, \"See you, Blackhot City!\""

第三十一章
第二天中午，黑炎城火车站，即将准备离站的军列已经拉响了第一声汽笛，这是火车开动前的最后的催促与询问。
“人已经到齐了吗？” 莱因哈特中校从车厢伸出头去看了一眼，最后几个铁血营的士兵也从站台上跳上了火车。
“已经到齐了！” 古德里安少校擦了擦眼镜，“所有的装备和人员已经上车了！ 铁血营除了留在黑炎城的一个伤员以外，所有人都在车上了。”
“那么，出发吧！” 莱因哈特中校命令道，想到那张年轻的面孔，心里微微闪过一丝遗憾。
在鸣叫了三声汽笛后，整个军列开始缓慢的动了起来。
“可惜了！”
古德里安少校把带着的金丝眼镜拿了下来，慢慢的用眼镜布擦着。 整个铁血营，他和莱因哈特中校都知道格里高利家族在张铁离开医院后就给了张铁一瓶高级恢复药剂，如果张铁使用了那瓶药剂的话，此刻应该也能勉强跟上铁血营的步伐了。 可是张铁没来，所以古德里安少校才叹息了一声。
军官车厢里挤满了铁血营的军官，对于古德里安的这声轻轻的感叹，大家都没出声，一个个默然无语。
“没有什么可惜的，估计这就是林长江元帅所说的人与人之间的缘分吧！” 莱因哈特一锤定音。
火车在站台上越走越快，就在这时，军官车厢里的人似乎听到火车后面那些运载着普通士兵车厢里传来的越来越大的喧哗声和加油声。
莱因哈特中校和许多军官都有些疑惑的再次把头伸出车窗，然后所有人就看到了一辆越野车正飞快的从火车站台旁边的车道冲了出来，开始追着火车飞奔，很快，那辆越野车就追上了列车中后部的一节装载着士兵车厢。
士兵车厢里的铁血营士兵已经大叫着把车厢大门打开，在为那个人加油，越野车后座上的一个黑头发的家伙从驾驶员后面的位置上站了起来，那个人身上背着一个巨大的军用包袱，手上拿着一把巨大的战剑，在一片的加油声中，那个人先把背上背着的行囊丢到了车厢里，然后又把恐怖的战剑递了过去，让几个士兵稳稳接住。
听到惨叫，后面所有车厢在加油的士兵们都大笑了起来。
五分钟后。 样子有些狼狈的张铁才出现在莱因哈特中校所乘坐的军官车厢。
“老大，铁血营五连三排少尉排长张铁伤愈，正式请求归队！” 站在莱因哈特面前的张铁严肃的向铁血营的老大敬了一个军礼。
“同意归队！” 莱因哈特嘴角飘起一丝笑容，看着面前的这个年轻人，心情突然大好，“你的伤好了吗？”
“好了！” 张铁拍了拍胸脯，“前几天就好了。 可是有事情耽搁了一下，所以就晚归队了几天！”
“什么事情耽搁了你几天的时间？” 有些较真的古德里安参谋长问道。
“古德里安参谋长……那个……你知道我刚刚做完那个手术……我自己憋了十多年，女朋友们发现后就都等不及了，在军营里不方便……”张铁有些扭捏的说道。
在骂了张铁一声之后。
连古德里安少校都忍不住笑了起来，他当然知道张铁的那个木乃伊少尉的外号是怎么来的。
张铁自己找了个座位坐下，看着窗外已经开始慢慢变小的黑炎城，心里思绪翻涌！
这个时候的爱丽丝正在家里接过了张铁让潘多拉和贝芙丽给她带来的那个用漂亮的蓝色包装纸包装起来的精美礼盒。 有些好奇的看着潘多拉和贝芙丽。
“这里面是什么？” 爱丽丝问潘多拉。
“打开看看你就知道了！”
爱丽丝拆开了外面的蓝色礼盒，就像那些女生一样。 看到礼盒里面的那两个迪斯夫人和米兰首饰店的logo和鲜花的时候，爱丽丝也惊呼了一声。
这几样东西摆在一起的时候，没有哪个女生会不喜欢。
爱丽丝把里面的那一大一小的两个盒子打开，那是一套蓝色的漂亮内衣和一枚镶嵌着一颗巨大蓝宝石的昂贵戒指。
爱丽丝这一周以来低落的心情瞬间就被那巨大的喜悦溢满，脸上的笑容像绽放的花朵一样鲜艳了起来。
“是不是张铁让你们两个送来的？”
爱丽丝爱不释手的看着手上的这两样东西。
“除了他还有谁呢？”
“他为什么不来呢？”
“他有些不知道怎么面对你，所以让我们送过来……”潘多拉平静的说道。
“他呢？”
爱丽丝的动作微微僵硬了一下。
“去卡鲁尔了，现在估计已经上了军列，他所在的铁血营作为三十九师团的先锋，被派遣到卡鲁尔参加与太阳神朝的战争……”贝芙丽声音低沉的说着。
爱丽丝的脸色一下子苍白了起来。
“他在离开之前，有没有对我说什么！” 爱丽丝的声音中都带了一丝颤抖。
“他说想对你说的话都刻在戒指上了！” 想到张铁送给自己的那枚红宝石戒指上的话，贝芙丽的眼泪也忍不住流了下来，无论男生女生，许多人都骂她是，只有张铁知道她纯洁如红宝石，这样的男人，只要遇到一个。 贝芙丽就觉得满足了，无论以后她能不能和张铁在一起，她都满足了。
那是一个真正在用心对她好的男人！
那是一个看到她被野狼追赶便怒发冲冠的男人！ 那是一个可以在最危险的时候宁愿自己不要命也要用身体为她遮挡弩箭的男人！ 她第一次在那个男人面前掉眼泪的时候，那个男人在最紧要的关头控制住了自己，停止了对她的征伐与贪婪，默默的为她穿起裤子。
爱丽丝没想到，那一次居然有可能就是她与张铁这辈子的最后一次相聚。 在那个男人走的时候，他让人给自己送来了这枚饱含祝福的戒指，还有这套合身的，由那个男人亲自为她挑选的内衣。
爱丽丝嚎啕大哭。
在黑炎城的另外一个地方，这个时候，巴利和飞机兄弟会的西斯塔，道格。 巴格达和莱特已经在保险柜里拿到了张铁给他们留下的东西。
那是足足装有600个金币巨款的一个皮箱和张铁留给几个人的一封信。
兄弟们，我走了，去卡鲁尔，你们是我的兄弟。 铁血营的那些人也是我的兄弟，他们能为了我去拼命，我也能为了他们去拼命，我不想让大家看起来我是在交代后事。 但有时些事情却必须要在这里给你们交代清楚，因为我也不是神。
如果是在平时，我给你们每人100个金币的话，我知道，就像沙一样，大家都不会要，因为我们的友情比这个值更多，但在这里，我想让你们收下，原因很简单，如果我回不来的话，我只想尽我的能力为我身边的兄弟们做一点什么，为什么想为你们做一点什么呢，因为人族与魔族的圣战快到来了，这是我最信任的一个人在离开黑炎城时对我说的，我相信他，也许就在未来几年之内整个布莱克森人族走廊的形势就会有大变动，黑炎城这种地方不是久留之地，你们要尽早做打算。
如果我有能力的话，我想为你们做得更多一点，但请原谅，我现在只能做这么多了。 这些钱，就当我第一次搜刮你们的补偿吧。
原还有很多想说的话，但写到这里，又不知道该怎么说了，算了！
如果我活着回来发现你们当中的哪个混蛋敢不领我的这份情的话，我会很生气，绝对要把他打出屎来。
还有，西斯塔，你这个混蛋不准拿这些钱再去找女人，好好想想以后怎么带着你喜欢的女人跑路才是正经。
道格，你这个家伙看起来也不像是会花钱会挣钱的那种人，遇到什么事情的时候别忘了和巴利这个混蛋商量一下，他不会让你吃亏的。
巴格达，我离开的时候和铁荆棘战馆的汉斯经理打过招呼了，如果你愿意去的话，那里会安排一个很适合的位置给你，绝对比你现在在的那个战馆干的服务生强。
还有沙，以后不管遇到什么事千万别一个人闷在心里。 记住你还有这么多的好兄弟。
巴利，我知道你这个狡猾的死胖子其实是最讲义气的，能和你们认识做兄弟我很高兴。
知名不具！
张铁的一封信前面看得几个人几乎想掉眼泪，而后面却让所有人又都笑了起来。
“张铁这个混蛋！”
等信看完，西斯塔才发现刚刚道格好像在自己身上擦了两下，那是什么意思？ 西斯塔低头一看，立刻就跳了起来！
“啊，道格，你这个混蛋，你在我的衣服上抹的是什么恶心的东西？
——再见了，黑炎城！

Chapter 205: Leaving Blackhot City Translator: WQL Editor: DarkGem
The next noon, in the railway station of Blackhot City, the military train that was going to leave had already blown its first whistle, which indicated urgency and that the train was about to set off.
"Is everyone ready?" Lieutenant Colonel Reinhardt asked, looking out the carriage for the last time. By then, the last soldiers of Iron-Blood Camp had jumped onto the train from the platform.
"Everybody is in!" Major Guderian cleaned his glasses. "Everybody and all the equipment is on the train! Besides one wounded soldier, everybody of Iron-Blood Camp is already in."
"Fine, set off!" Lieutenant Colonel Reinhardt ordered. At the same time, he thought back to Zhang Tie's young face and felt slightly regretful inside.
After blowing the third whistle, the military train started to move slowly.
"What a pity!"
Major Guderian took off his golden-frame glasses and slowly cleaned them with a piece of cloth. In the Iron-Blood Camp as a whole, only major Guderian and Lieutenant Colonel Reinhardt knew that Gregory family had given Zhang Tie a vial of advanced recovery medicament once he left the hospital. If Zhang Tie had used that vial of medicament, he should have been able to follow in the steps of the Iron-Blood Camp. However, Zhang Tie was not here; therefore, major Guderian let out a sigh.
The carriage was filled with military officers of the Iron-Blood Camp. For Guderian's slight sigh, nobody made any response, instead, they all kept quiet.
"Nothing to feel regretful about. This might be karma between people as was said by marshal Lin Changjiang!" Reinhardt stated, hitting the point.
... The train sped up. Right then, people in the carriage of military officers seemed to hear increasingly louder voices shouting 'come on' from carriages that carried common soldiers behind them.
Lieutenant Colonel Reinhardt and many military officers were curious, and they looked out the windows once again. Everybody saw an SUV rushing out of the tunnel near the platform. Soon, that SUV caught up with a carriage between the middle part and the end of the train. The soldiers of Iron-Blood Camp in the carriage had opened the door and were shouting loudly to encourage the black-haired guy who was standing on the seat behind the driver.
With a large military pack on his back, he was holding a huge sword. With the encouragements, that man first threw in his luggage into the carriage before following it with his terrifying sword, letting some soldiers hold it for a moment. Finally, he jumped out of the SUV like a fierce tiger and rolled into the train's carriage. Hit by this flesh-bomb, several soldiers screamed miserably...
Hearing the screams, all the soldiers who were encouraging him from the other carriages burst out laughing loudly.
Five minutes later, somewhat embarrassed, Zhang Tie appeared in the military officers' carriage where Lieutenant Colonel Reinhardt was in.
"Boss, Zhang Tie, second lieutenant, platoon leader of Third Platoon, Fifth Company has recovered, I'm requesting to return to my troop!" Standing in front of Reinhardt, Zhang Tie gave a military salute to the boss of the Iron-Blood Camp.
"Agreed!" Reinhardt revealed a wisp of a smile at the corner of his mouth. Looking at this young man before him, he suddenly felt very happy. "Have you recovered?"
"Yea!" Zhang Tie patted his chest. "It's already been a couple of days, but due to something, I've came back a few days later!"
"What thing?" Being a bit serious, Chief of Staff Guderian asked.
"Chief of Staff... uhm... you know that I've just had the circumcision... I've held back for over ten years and my girlfriends could not wait any more. But it was not convenient to do that in the camp..."
Zhang Tie became a bit bashful.
"Badass!" After swearing at Zhang Tie, Major Guderian couldn't stop himself from laughing. Of course he knew how Zhang Tie had gotten his nickname 'Second Lieutenant Mummy'.
Zhang Tie then took a seat. As he saw Blackhot City grow smaller, many thoughts flashed across his mind. ...
At this time, at home, Alice was holding the delicate gift box packed in blue package paper, which was brought by Pandora and Beverly at Zhang Tie's request. She was looking at the two of them with a curious expression.
"What's inside?" she asked Pandora.
"Just open it!" Pandora smiled, encouraging her.
Alice then opened the outer blue gift box. Like all the other girls, the moment she saw the logos of Mrs. Diss and Milan as well as the flower, she also exclaimed.
When these items were put together, every girl would like it.
Alice then opened the two boxes inside, the bigger box contained a set of beautiful blue underclothes while the smaller box contained an expensive ring with a huge sapphire on it.
During the past week, Alice was in a low mood. However, filled with such a great pleasure, she immediately burst into a smile which was as fresh as a flower.
"Was it Zhang Tie who requested you to bring it here?"
Alice's eyes were fixed on the two items in her hands, she loved them so much.
"Who else except him?"
"Why didn't he come here himself?" Face blushed, Alice put the set of blue underclothes close to herself and found it well-matching. "That badass, lady-killer, who only knows how to make girls happy..."
"He didn't know how to face you; therefore he asked us to send it to you..." Pandora calmly said.
"Where's he?"
Alice's movements became slightly stiff.
"Went to Kalur. He should be on the military train by now. The Iron-Blood Camp, which he's in, was dispatched to join the war between the Norman Empire and Sun Dynasty in Kalur as the vanguard of No. 39 Division..." Beverly said dejectedly.
Alice's face immediately turned pale.
"Did he say something for me before he left?" Alice's voice trembled slightly.
"He had carved what he wanted to say on your ring!" Thinking of the words on that finger ring with a ruby on it that Zhang Tie had gifted her, Beverly started to drop off tears. So many people had sworn her as a bitch, male or female; however, only Zhang Tie knew she was as pure as ruby. With a good man like Zhang Tie, Beverly had been satisfied, no matter whether she could stay with Zhang Tie in the future.
Taking the ring, Alice finally saw such a line of words on its back. She thought she could see Zhang Tie's smile again...
That was a man who truly treated her well, a man who would be enraged at the sight of her being chased by a group of wild wolves, a man who would use his own body to shield her from a bolt at the most dangerous moment! When she dropped off tears before that man for the first time, that man controlled his greed at the most critical moment and silently put on his pants for her, leaving her her most precious thing.
Alice had not imagined that it might be her last meeting with Zhang Tie. When he was going to leave, he had people send this ring full of bliss to her along with a set of suitable underclothes chosen by him.
Alice then burst into tears, loudly, before rushing out of her home and running towards the railway station. She wanted to to have a look at that man for the last time, however, she failed to catch up with that military train in the end...
At this moment, in another place of Blackhot City, Barley, Hista, Doug, Bagdad, and Leit had taken out what Zhang Tie had left for them.
That was a leather case containing 600 gold coins and Zhang Tie's letter to them.
'Brothers, I will set off for Kalur. You're my brothers. So are those brothers of the Iron-Blood Camp. They were ready to sacrifice themselves for me, so I can only sacrifice myself for them. I don't want to make this like a will. But sometimes, I have to tell you the truth. Because I'm not god, there's also a chance for me to not come back. Additionally, the casualty rate of the Iron-Blood Camp of No. 39 Division is the highest in the Iron-Horn Army.
'If I give each of you 100 gold coins just like that, I know none of you will take it just like Sharwin. Because our friendship is worth more than this amount. Here, I want you to take them all. The reason is very simple. If I cannot come back, I just want to try my best to do something for my brothers. Why? Because the holy war between human beings and the demons will soon come.
'I was told this by the most reliable person when he left Blackhot City. I trust him. Maybe in the next few years, the situation of the entire Blackson Human Clan Corridor will see a great change. Since Blackhot City won't be safe then, you should plan to leave here as soon as possible. If I had the ability, I would've done more for you, but please forgive me, I can only do this. This money will be my compensation for the amount of coins that I've plundered from you at the beginning.
'Previously, I had a lot of words to say, but I don't know how to say it all, so that's it!
'If I survive and come back to find that none of you received my good intentions, I will be very angry. I swear to beat the sh*t out of any who does that.
'Hista, you bastard should better not take this money for women. You should think more about how to escape together with your women.
'Doug, you don't look like that person who excels at making money or spending money. If you have trouble, don't forget to negotiate with Barley that bastard. He will not let you suffer a loss.
Bagdad, when I left the Iron-Thorns Fighting Club, I told manager Hance that if you would like to go there, they should arrange a very proper location for you, which is definitely better than being a serviceman in the fighting club where you are working at.
'Sharwin, no matter what happens in the future, don't face it alone, remember that you've got so many good brothers.
'Barley, I know you cute Fatty are the most righteous one. I'm very happy to be brothers with you.
'Yours sincerely!'
Reading Zhang Tie's letter, the group was on the verge of tears, but by the end, they all burst out laughing.
"Zhang Tie, this bastard!"
Not until they finished reading did Hista realize that Doug seemed to have rubbed on his clothes twice just now. 'What does that mean?' Feeling something not right, he lowered his head, and then immediately jumped up!
"Ah, Doug, you bastard! What disgusting thing have you smeared on my clothes? I'll kill you, ah..."
In the distance, the military train that contained all the soldiers and equipment of the Iron-Blood Camp was driving towards the far off south. Looking at the disappearing outline of Blackhot City in the horizon, Zhang Tie mumbled inside, "See you, Blackhot City!"

"value": "The three instantly became overjoyed, taking out the other half of the token and formed the whole token on the spot.\nSo it turns out, the demonic Gu Master back then had his descendants too. Before he was arrested by Tie clan, he instructed his descendants, to remember this incident and, if possible in the future, repay that kindness.\nThe three brothers were descendants of this demonic Gu Master, after seeing this token, they immediately explained the matter to this young stall owner, asking him if he needed any help; they would do their best to assist him.\nThis young man was very crafty.\nHe immediately replied, he lacked three subordinates and there was nobody around to help him.\nThe three brothers glanced at each other, before kneeling down together, promising that they would serve the young man for twenty years.\nThey would listen to all of his orders for twenty years, but after that, they would be free.\nThese three brothers were famous in the battle stage, they each had rank three cultivation, and were most skilled in multi battles.\nThe young man relied on the strength of the three brothers, living the next twenty years in luxury. During the period, he asked the three brothers to get food, water, primeval stones for him, and they acceded to all of his requests.\nBut after twenty years, the three brothers repaid the favor and left. He had long forgotten how to work, and was too ashamed to beg, in fact, he did not even restrain himself, continuing to live like a king. Less than half a month later, he died.\nOf course, all these happened in Fang Yuan's previous life.\nAt the moment, the three demonic Gu masters have not found the half-token yet. And this token was already in Fang Yuan's hands. As for that young man, who cares if he dies?\nAccording to his memories, this half-token would only be discovered by the three demonic Gu Master brothers next year.\nBut now that Fang Yuan held the half-token, he brought Bai Ning Bing and Shang Xin Ci to find them directly.\nThe three brothers also opened a stall before their home, enjoying the festive mood and were having fun.\n\"Ah? It is Lord Fang Zheng! And Lord Bai Ning Bing.\" Seeing Fang and Bai, the three quickly got up.\nThey had all been thrashed by Fang Yuan or Bai Ning Bing before in the battle stage.\nIn this world, strength was everything, even more so for demonic Gu Masters. Bai Ning Bing had rank four cultivation, while Fang Yuan defeated Ju Kai Bei, there was no demonic Gu Master who did not respect the two.\n\"I am here today to find the three of you.\" Fang Yuan observed the three brothers emotionlessly.\nThese three brothers all had the surname Xiong.\nThe eldest was called Xiong Tu, shortest among the three, humble and honest. He was an earth path rank three upper stage Gu Master.\nSecond was Xiong Huo, wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts, his body was bright red. He was a fire path rank three middle stage Gu Master.\nThe youngest was Xiong Feng, wearing a bamboo hat, having sharp tiny eyes, and enjoys squinting when he looks at people. He was a wind path rank three initial stage Gu Master.\nHearing Fang Yuan's words, the three brothers became uneasy.\nXiong Tu quickly cupped his fist, greeting Fang Yuan: \"Lord Fang Zheng, may I know what is the issue? If my brothers had offended you unknowingly, I apologise to you here.\"\nFang Yuan frowned slightly: \"I'm sure you've heard, I had given up on the battle stage to assist Shang Xin Ci in becoming a young master. We are lacking manpower over here, I want all three of you to join us.\"\n\"This…\" The three Xiong clan brothers frowned.\nThey came to Shang clan city and entered the battle stage for only one reason: to become Shang clan's external elder.\nBut now that Fang Yuan wanted them to assist Shang Xin Ci, it was very different from their goals. Shang Xin Ci was just an inexperienced girl, and only had rank one cultivation with poor aptitude. The three of them all had B grade aptitude, and their combination strike could temporarily match a rank four Gu Master.\nAsking them to go under Shang Xin Ci and be her subordinate, the three brothers were unwilling.\nIf others said this, the three brothers would have attacked already, beating the guy to a pulp. But it was Fang Yuan who said it, causing the three to be in a difficult position.\nFang Yuan had defeated Ju Kai Bei in a battle, they had watched it personally, even if they joined forces, they could not defeat Fang Yuan.\n\"Fang Zheng is here with ill-intention.\"\n\"He is obviously trying to forcefully subdue us!\"\n\"Sigh, what bad luck to have been targeted by Fang Zheng. All three of us cannot defeat him, and he even has Bai Ning Bing beside him. Moreover, the purple thorn token…\"\nThe three brothers looked at each other, knowing each other's emotions. The three of them were unwilling, but circumstances forced their hand, they could only choose to give in.\nBut Fang Yuan suddenly said: \"I do not wish to force you, come if you are willing to, if not, I will not force you.\"\nThe three brothers glanced at each other, unsure if Fang Yuan was speaking the truth, or just trying to act graceful.\nBut Xiong Feng who was the youngest, was the most daring, as he said carefully: \"Lord Fang Zheng, to speak the truth, we are used to freedom. We do not want to be involved in Shang clan's young master competition. Thus, thus…\"\nThe other two smiled meekly, as they bowed towards Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing apologetically.\n\"Oh?\" Fang Yuan's brows raised, as a cold light shot out of his eyes: \"The three of you are really daring, you dare to reject my invitation?\"\nThe three brothers' heart thumped.\nXiong Tu quickly cupped his fists, explaining in a hurry: \"That is not the case, that is not the case. Lord Fang Zheng, please do not misunderstand, it is our honor to have received your invitation. My brother was too nervous, he did not know what he was saying. Actually what he wanted to say was, we would be glad to go under Lady Shang Xin Ci's wing.\"\n\"Yes, yes, that was what I meant.\" Xiong Feng continued.\n\"Hehe, in that case, I am assured. The three of you are so eager, Xin Ci, accept them.\" Fang Yuan turned around, saying to Shang Xin Ci.\nBeside him, Bai Ning Bing frowned. Forcing them to join like this, he would not get their loyalty, such a distant subordinate, what use would it be?\nShang Xin Ci had the same worry, but she still chose to believe Fang Yuan. She took a step forward, saying to the three brothers: \"From now on, please work hard.\"\n\"Yes.\"\n\"The three brothers of Xiong clan pays respect to Lady Xin Ci.\"\nThe three cupped their fists and bowed, replying listlessly.\n\"Hahaha…\" Fang Yuan raised his head and laughed.\nThe three brothers thought: This Fang Zheng is too despicable, leading the life of a whore but still expecting a monument praising chastity 1 . Speaking in a righteous manner but acting like a despicable crook.\n\"That's right, I forgot something, take a good look.\" Fang Yuan stopped laughing, and took out a half-token, tossing it to Xiong Tu.\n\"What is this?\" The other two brothers glanced curiously.\nBut immediately, the three brothers were stunned.\n\"This, this is?!\" The calm and stable Xiong Tu cried out.\nXiong Huo grabbed the token, inspecting it closely.\nXiong Feng also understood what happened, as he urged his brother Xiong Tu: \"Brother, quickly take out our token.\"\nUnder Bai Ning Bing and Shang Xin Ci's weird gaze, Xiong Tu took out the other half of the token.\nThe two half-tokens perfectly fit into one, and a illusionary fire started to burn on the token.\n\"This, this is real!\" Xiong clan's three brothers stared with wide-opened eyes.\nXiong Tu held the token with shivering arms.\n\"What is going on?\" Bai Ning Bing and Shang Xin Ci had no clue what was happening.\n\"The three brothers of Xiong clan, did you really think I came here without a reason? Why are you hesitating?\" Fang Yuan spoke at an appropriate moment.\nHis words woke them up.\n\"Grandfather once said, no matter who the token's owner was, even if it was an enemy, we have to repay the kindness from back then!\"\n\"That's right, although grandfather is trapped, we cannot ruin his reputation.\"\n\"From now on, Lady Shang Xin Ci is our new master. But, only for twenty years. Twenty years is sufficient to repay the debt.\"\nThe three brothers discussed among themselves quickly.\nNext, all three of them kneeled on one knee in front of Shang Xin Ci, cupping their fists.\n\"Xiong Tu, Xiong Huo, Xiong Feng, the three brothers greets Lady Xin Ci!\" They shouted loudly, with a different tone from before, filled with drive and excitement.\n\"Brother Hei Tu, what is happening?\" Shang Xin Ci found out that they were sincerely joining her, and felt extremely curious.\nFang Yuan snickered: \"It is a long story. We will talk about it next time, now, let's go recruit some more members.\"\nThe gang of six arrived at the slave market.\nIn the world, there was slave trade. Any strong or affluent first-class clan, or super clan, would engage in slave business.\nShang clan's slave trade was handled by the head of the five clan elders, Shang Bu Li personally.\nSlave trade was too profitable, the higher-ups were not confident of letting an external elder handle it. In history, only Shang clansmen were in charge of it.\nFang Yuan had planned early on, and investigated clearly. He walked ahead, leading the way, quickly arriving at a cage.\nWithin the cage, there were many people.\n\"Lady Xin Ci, Lord Fang Zheng, Lord Bai Ning Bing, are you here to purchase slaves? If that is the case, I do not advise you to buy the people inside this cage.\" A Gu master in charge of handling business quickly came over.\n\"Oh? What is that so?\" Shang Xin Ci asked.\n\"Lady Xin Ci does not know, these people are from Wei clan. Wei clan had a political uprising some time ago, and Wei clan leader was overthrown by his younger brother. The people inside this cage are from the previous clan leader's faction. They are being sold now by the current Wei clan leader.\" The Gu Master answered.\nXin Ci immediately understood why he advised them not to buy these slaves.\nWei clan was a first-class clan. Although it was smaller than Shang clan, it was still a famous clan in the southern border.\nWei clan's political turbulence was said to be supported by Shang Yan Fei. The current Wei clan leader even sent the clansmen to Shang clan as hostage. Many Wei clan elders also secretly transferred their assets to Shang clan.\nWei clan could be said to be Shang clan's puppet already.\nFor Shang Xin Ci who was competing to become Shang clan young master, these people were trouble.\nBut Fang Yuan quickly said: \"We are buying these people.\"\nChibiGeneral ChibiGeneral Isekai slave harem arc let's go!!!"

三人顿时惊喜交加，掏出另外半块令牌，当场组成一整块。
原来当年的魔道蛊师，也有血脉流传。 在被铁家拘捕之前，叮嘱过后人，牢记这段往事，将来若有可能，必要偿还恩德。
三兄弟正是魔道蛊师的后辈，看到这块令牌之后，立即向少年摊主说明情况。 并问他，有什么要帮助的，必定全力以赴。
这少年也是狡猾。
他立即回答，说手底下缺少三位下属，平日里没有人帮衬。
三兄弟相互对视一眼，当即同时跪下，拜倒在少年面前，认他为二十年的主人。
二十年内，任其驱使。 但二十年后，再回复自由身。
少年依仗这三兄弟的能力，又有了二十年的富贵流年。
期间，他叫三兄弟端茶送水，拿用元石等等，无不应许。 但二十年之后，三兄弟偿还了恩情，离他而去。
他因为早已经忘记了如何劳作，更耻于乞讨，甚至不知道节制，仍旧醉生梦死。 不到半个月后，就死了。
当然，这些都是方源前世发生的事情。
而这半块令牌，也已经到了方源的手中。 至于那个少年，谁管他如何死活？
按照前世的记忆，这半块令牌，还要等到明年，才会被魔道蛊师三兄弟发现。
但现在方源提前掌握了半块令牌，便带着白凝冰、商心慈主动找上门去。
三兄弟也在家门口摆着摊子，倒是入乡随俗，自得其乐。
还有白凝冰大人。” 看到方白二人，三人连忙起身。
他们都被方源，或者白凝冰揍过。
魔道蛊师的观念里，更是如此。 白凝冰是四转修为，方源战胜了巨开碑，因此魔道蛊师没有不敬佩他们俩的。
“我这次来，是主动找你们的。” 方源面无表情，目光扫视三兄弟。
这三兄弟，都姓雄。
老大叫做雄土，在三兄弟中身高最矮，敦实厚重。
乃是土道三转高阶蛊师。 老二叫做雄火，打着赤膊，穿着短裤，全身一片赤红。
乃是火道三转中阶蛊师。 老三叫做雄风，带着斗笠，细长的丹凤眼，喜欢眯着眼睛看人。
听到方源这话，三兄弟顿时惴惴不安起来。
雄土连忙抱拳，向方源施礼：“方正大人，不知道您这次来所为何事？ 若是我兄弟有长眼，无意中冒犯您的地方，我这就向您赔罪。”
方源微微扬起眉头：“你们想必也都听说了，我已经放弃了演武场，选择帮助商心慈，要助她成为商家少主。 我们现在这边，缺乏人手，你们三个都过来吧。”
“这……”雄家三兄弟顿时都皱起眉头。
他们来到商家城，参加演武，目的都只有一个，那就是成为商家的外姓家老。
商心慈不过是个黄毛丫头，修为只有一转，资质更加不行。 他们三人各个都有乙等资质，一齐合击，甚至能在短时间内抗衡住四转蛊师。
要他们拜倒在商心慈的脚下，成为她的属下，三兄弟都极不愿意。
这话要是旁人来讲，他们三兄弟早就立即出手，就说话的人打趴下。 但偏偏是方源所讲，三兄弟感到非常为难。
方源战胜巨开碑的战斗，他们都亲眼看过。 就算是联手，也不是方源的对手。
“方正来者不善，善者不来。”
“这架势分明是想强逼我们认主！”
“唉，流年不利。
三兄弟相互对望，都知道彼此的心思情绪。 他们三个不想认主，但形势比人强，只能选择低头。
但哪知方源又道：“我不想强迫你们，你们愿意来就来，不愿意的话，我也不会勉强。”
三兄弟顿时面面相觑，不知道方源是说的真心话，还是要展现风度的假话。
到底还是雄风最为年轻，壮着胆子，小心翼翼地道：“方正大人，实不相瞒，我们三个闲云野鹤惯了。 真的不想参加商家的少主之争。
其余两人，都一脸讪笑，同时对方源和白凝冰二人点头哈腰不止。
“嗯？” 方源眉头微微一扬，双眼迸射出锐利冷酷的光，“你们三个真的胆子不小，居然真的敢拒绝我的邀请？”
三兄弟顿时心中咯噔一下。
方正大人您不要误会，我们三个能得到您的招揽，都觉得十分荣幸。 我三弟太激动了，不会说话，词不达意。
其实他是想说，非常想加入到商心慈小姐的麾下。” “是的，是的。
“呵呵，既然是这样，那我就放心了。 你们三个如此热切，心慈，你就收下他们吧。” 方源又转过头来，对商心慈道。
一旁，白凝冰微微皱起眉头。 这样强行招人，得不到人心，要这样貌合神离的下属，有什么用呢？
商心慈心中也有同样的顾虑，但她仍旧是选择相信方源。 往前跨上一步，对三兄弟道：“今后，你们就好好努力吧。”
“是。”
“雄家三兄弟，拜见心慈小姐。”
三兄弟拱手弯腰，回答得有气无力。
“哈哈哈……”方源仰头长笑。
三兄弟无不腹诽：“方正太可恶了，当婊子还要立牌坊。 说的冠冕堂皇，做的事情最不地道。”
你们好好看看吧。” 方源忽然止住笑声，掏出半块令牌，抛给了雄土。 雄土下意识地生出手来，接过令牌。
“这是什么东西？” 其余两兄弟，也都投去好奇疑惑的目光。
但旋即，三兄弟都呆愣住了。
“这，这他妈的是？ ！”
雄火一把抢过令牌去，翻来覆去的看。
雄风也看出端倪，催促大哥雄土：“大哥，快把我们的那块令牌拿出来。”
在白凝冰和商心慈奇怪的目光中，雄土掏出了另外半块令牌。
两块令牌完美地契合在一起时，令牌上开始绽放出火焰般的虚影光辉。
“这，这是真的！” 雄家三兄弟纷纷瞪圆了双眼。
雄土捧着令牌的双手，都在微微的颤抖着。
“这到底是怎么一回事？” 白凝冰、商心慈则一头雾水。
“雄家三兄弟，你们以为我会无缘无故地找上门吗？ 你们还在迟疑什么呢？”
这话让三兄弟惊醒。
“爷爷曾经说过，不管令牌的主人是谁，哪怕是敌人，也要偿还昔日的恩情！”
“没有错，爷爷虽然被困，但我们却不能堕了他的名声。”
“从今以后，心慈小姐就是我们的新主人。 不过，只有二十年的时间。
三兄弟你一言我一语，很快就都商量好。
紧接着，他们同时单膝跪地，对着商心慈抱拳拜倒下来。
“雄土，雄火，雄风，三兄弟拜见心慈小姐！” 他们齐声高喊，语气和前次截然不同，充满了诚恳和激动。
“黑土哥哥，这到底是怎么回事？” 商心慈顿时知道，这三人是身心都归附了自己，她更加好奇。
方源呵呵一笑：“此事，说来就话长了。 现在暂且不谈，接下来，我再带你去招揽一人。”
一行六人，来到奴隶市场。
这个世界上，有着奴隶生意。 但凡有势力雄厚的一流家族，超一流家族，都会做奴隶生意。
商家城的奴隶生意，就是由五大家老之首的商不离家老，亲自掌管负责。
奴隶生意太赚钱了，交给外姓家老，商家高层都不放心，历来都执掌在商家亲族的手中。
方源谋事在先，早就打探清楚。 他走在前面，带领众人，轻车熟路，来到一处牢笼。
牢笼中，关押着许多人。
“心慈小姐，方正大人，白凝冰大人，你们是要来买奴隶？ 如果是这样，我可不建议你们买这笼子里的人。”
一位负责生意的蛊师，立即走了过来。 “哦？ 这是为何？”
笼子里关押着的这些人，就是卫家族长的派系族人。 都被当今的卫家族长贩卖出来的。” 蛊师答道。
商心慈顿时明白，为什么这蛊师不建议自己买这些奴隶了。
卫家，是一流家族。 虽然比不上商家，但是在南疆，也是赫赫有名。
卫家政变，据说还是商燕飞在背后支持。
当今的卫家族长，甚至已经将其家人都送到商家，成为人质。
对于要竞争成为商家少主的商心慈来说，这些人都是烫手的山芋。
但方源却道：“我们就买这些人。”

The three instantly became overjoyed, taking out the other half of the token and formed the whole token on the spot.
So it turns out, the demonic Gu Master back then had his descendants too. Before he was arrested by Tie clan, he instructed his descendants, to remember this incident and, if possible in the future, repay that kindness.
The three brothers were descendants of this demonic Gu Master, after seeing this token, they immediately explained the matter to this young stall owner, asking him if he needed any help; they would do their best to assist him.
This young man was very crafty.
He immediately replied, he lacked three subordinates and there was nobody around to help him.
The three brothers glanced at each other, before kneeling down together, promising that they would serve the young man for twenty years.
They would listen to all of his orders for twenty years, but after that, they would be free.
These three brothers were famous in the battle stage, they each had rank three cultivation, and were most skilled in multi battles.
The young man relied on the strength of the three brothers, living the next twenty years in luxury. During the period, he asked the three brothers to get food, water, primeval stones for him, and they acceded to all of his requests.
But after twenty years, the three brothers repaid the favor and left. He had long forgotten how to work, and was too ashamed to beg, in fact, he did not even restrain himself, continuing to live like a king. Less than half a month later, he died.
Of course, all these happened in Fang Yuan's previous life.
At the moment, the three demonic Gu masters have not found the half-token yet. And this token was already in Fang Yuan's hands. As for that young man, who cares if he dies?
According to his memories, this half-token would only be discovered by the three demonic Gu Master brothers next year.
But now that Fang Yuan held the half-token, he brought Bai Ning Bing and Shang Xin Ci to find them directly.
The three brothers also opened a stall before their home, enjoying the festive mood and were having fun.
"Ah? It is Lord Fang Zheng! And Lord Bai Ning Bing." Seeing Fang and Bai, the three quickly got up.
They had all been thrashed by Fang Yuan or Bai Ning Bing before in the battle stage.
In this world, strength was everything, even more so for demonic Gu Masters. Bai Ning Bing had rank four cultivation, while Fang Yuan defeated Ju Kai Bei, there was no demonic Gu Master who did not respect the two.
"I am here today to find the three of you." Fang Yuan observed the three brothers emotionlessly.
These three brothers all had the surname Xiong.
The eldest was called Xiong Tu, shortest among the three, humble and honest. He was an earth path rank three upper stage Gu Master.
Second was Xiong Huo, wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts, his body was bright red. He was a fire path rank three middle stage Gu Master.
The youngest was Xiong Feng, wearing a bamboo hat, having sharp tiny eyes, and enjoys squinting when he looks at people. He was a wind path rank three initial stage Gu Master.
Hearing Fang Yuan's words, the three brothers became uneasy.
Xiong Tu quickly cupped his fist, greeting Fang Yuan: "Lord Fang Zheng, may I know what is the issue? If my brothers had offended you unknowingly, I apologise to you here."
Fang Yuan frowned slightly: "I'm sure you've heard, I had given up on the battle stage to assist Shang Xin Ci in becoming a young master. We are lacking manpower over here, I want all three of you to join us."
"This…" The three Xiong clan brothers frowned.
They came to Shang clan city and entered the battle stage for only one reason: to become Shang clan's external elder.
But now that Fang Yuan wanted them to assist Shang Xin Ci, it was very different from their goals. Shang Xin Ci was just an inexperienced girl, and only had rank one cultivation with poor aptitude. The three of them all had B grade aptitude, and their combination strike could temporarily match a rank four Gu Master.
Asking them to go under Shang Xin Ci and be her subordinate, the three brothers were unwilling.
If others said this, the three brothers would have attacked already, beating the guy to a pulp. But it was Fang Yuan who said it, causing the three to be in a difficult position.
Fang Yuan had defeated Ju Kai Bei in a battle, they had watched it personally, even if they joined forces, they could not defeat Fang Yuan.
"Fang Zheng is here with ill-intention."
"He is obviously trying to forcefully subdue us!"
"Sigh, what bad luck to have been targeted by Fang Zheng. All three of us cannot defeat him, and he even has Bai Ning Bing beside him. Moreover, the purple thorn token…"
The three brothers looked at each other, knowing each other's emotions. The three of them were unwilling, but circumstances forced their hand, they could only choose to give in.
But Fang Yuan suddenly said: "I do not wish to force you, come if you are willing to, if not, I will not force you."
The three brothers glanced at each other, unsure if Fang Yuan was speaking the truth, or just trying to act graceful.
But Xiong Feng who was the youngest, was the most daring, as he said carefully: "Lord Fang Zheng, to speak the truth, we are used to freedom. We do not want to be involved in Shang clan's young master competition. Thus, thus…"
The other two smiled meekly, as they bowed towards Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing apologetically.
"Oh?" Fang Yuan's brows raised, as a cold light shot out of his eyes: "The three of you are really daring, you dare to reject my invitation?"
The three brothers' heart thumped.
Xiong Tu quickly cupped his fists, explaining in a hurry: "That is not the case, that is not the case. Lord Fang Zheng, please do not misunderstand, it is our honor to have received your invitation. My brother was too nervous, he did not know what he was saying. Actually what he wanted to say was, we would be glad to go under Lady Shang Xin Ci's wing."
"Yes, yes, that was what I meant." Xiong Feng continued.
"Hehe, in that case, I am assured. The three of you are so eager, Xin Ci, accept them." Fang Yuan turned around, saying to Shang Xin Ci.
Beside him, Bai Ning Bing frowned. Forcing them to join like this, he would not get their loyalty, such a distant subordinate, what use would it be?
Shang Xin Ci had the same worry, but she still chose to believe Fang Yuan. She took a step forward, saying to the three brothers: "From now on, please work hard."
"Yes."
"The three brothers of Xiong clan pays respect to Lady Xin Ci."
The three cupped their fists and bowed, replying listlessly.
"Hahaha…" Fang Yuan raised his head and laughed.
The three brothers thought: This Fang Zheng is too despicable, leading the life of a whore but still expecting a monument praising chastity 1 . Speaking in a righteous manner but acting like a despicable crook.
"That's right, I forgot something, take a good look." Fang Yuan stopped laughing, and took out a half-token, tossing it to Xiong Tu.
"What is this?" The other two brothers glanced curiously.
But immediately, the three brothers were stunned.
"This, this is?!" The calm and stable Xiong Tu cried out.
Xiong Huo grabbed the token, inspecting it closely.
Xiong Feng also understood what happened, as he urged his brother Xiong Tu: "Brother, quickly take out our token."
Under Bai Ning Bing and Shang Xin Ci's weird gaze, Xiong Tu took out the other half of the token.
The two half-tokens perfectly fit into one, and a illusionary fire started to burn on the token.
"This, this is real!" Xiong clan's three brothers stared with wide-opened eyes.
Xiong Tu held the token with shivering arms.
"What is going on?" Bai Ning Bing and Shang Xin Ci had no clue what was happening.
"The three brothers of Xiong clan, did you really think I came here without a reason? Why are you hesitating?" Fang Yuan spoke at an appropriate moment.
His words woke them up.
"Grandfather once said, no matter who the token's owner was, even if it was an enemy, we have to repay the kindness from back then!"
"That's right, although grandfather is trapped, we cannot ruin his reputation."
"From now on, Lady Shang Xin Ci is our new master. But, only for twenty years. Twenty years is sufficient to repay the debt."
The three brothers discussed among themselves quickly.
Next, all three of them kneeled on one knee in front of Shang Xin Ci, cupping their fists.
"Xiong Tu, Xiong Huo, Xiong Feng, the three brothers greets Lady Xin Ci!" They shouted loudly, with a different tone from before, filled with drive and excitement.
"Brother Hei Tu, what is happening?" Shang Xin Ci found out that they were sincerely joining her, and felt extremely curious.
Fang Yuan snickered: "It is a long story. We will talk about it next time, now, let's go recruit some more members."
The gang of six arrived at the slave market.
In the world, there was slave trade. Any strong or affluent first-class clan, or super clan, would engage in slave business.
Shang clan's slave trade was handled by the head of the five clan elders, Shang Bu Li personally.
Slave trade was too profitable, the higher-ups were not confident of letting an external elder handle it. In history, only Shang clansmen were in charge of it.
Fang Yuan had planned early on, and investigated clearly. He walked ahead, leading the way, quickly arriving at a cage.
Within the cage, there were many people.
"Lady Xin Ci, Lord Fang Zheng, Lord Bai Ning Bing, are you here to purchase slaves? If that is the case, I do not advise you to buy the people inside this cage." A Gu master in charge of handling business quickly came over.
"Oh? What is that so?" Shang Xin Ci asked.
"Lady Xin Ci does not know, these people are from Wei clan. Wei clan had a political uprising some time ago, and Wei clan leader was overthrown by his younger brother. The people inside this cage are from the previous clan leader's faction. They are being sold now by the current Wei clan leader." The Gu Master answered.
Xin Ci immediately understood why he advised them not to buy these slaves.
Wei clan was a first-class clan. Although it was smaller than Shang clan, it was still a famous clan in the southern border.
Wei clan's political turbulence was said to be supported by Shang Yan Fei. The current Wei clan leader even sent the clansmen to Shang clan as hostage. Many Wei clan elders also secretly transferred their assets to Shang clan.
Wei clan could be said to be Shang clan's puppet already.
For Shang Xin Ci who was competing to become Shang clan young master, these people were trouble.
But Fang Yuan quickly said: "We are buying these people."

"value": "Chapter 1546 - I Have Returned!\nWang Lin moved among the stars by himself. His body was extremely powerful, so he didn’t even need to avoid spatial rifts. The spatial rifts would often collapse when they touched him, causing him no harm.\nThere was a faint golden light inside his body. As he moved forward, space itself seemed to shrink under his feet. Just one step would carry him over countless kilometers.\nWithout the madman following, Wang Lin’s speed had reached a peak. He was far away from the Alliance Headquarters, but it only took him three steps to sweep through the star system.\nWith the first step, he appeared within an area filled with cultivation planets and cultivators. No one noticed Wang Lin’s presence! Most only felt a faint ripple appear and immediately disappear.\nMaster Lu Fu was among these cultivators. The Brilliant Void had very few third step cultivators, and those that knew ancient formations were even less. Master Hong Shan had invited Master Lu Fu here to place down formations.\nEven he only felt his vision blur, as if someone had passed by. His eyes immediately narrowed. “If feel as if someone has just passed… A very familiar aura…” Master Lu Fu looked ahead and shook his head.\n“This aura is very similar to him… It has been a few decades, but there has been no news of him… Maybe my vision just went blurry.”\nMaster Lu Fu’s expression seemed down.\nWang Lin also saw Master Lu Fu, but time was of the essence, so he didn’t stop and took the second step!\nWith this second step, he arrived at the center of the Brillant Void. This area was rather empty, and soon spatial rifts appeared like scars.\nIt was as if there had been a great battle here years ago! This battle was very fierce, so much so that it caused the space here to collapse. It was because of these collapses that countless spatial rifts had appeared. It was as if this area was cut off from the Brilliant Void Star System. The rifts also made it very difficult for divine sense to cover this area.\nCoupled with the ripples that filled the area, it was impossible for divine sense to sense anything. This became an area where divine sense was useless!\nThere was even the faint smell of blood lingering about. This revealed the the tragedy that had taken place here! Wang Lin clearly remembered that the battle between Allheaven and the Alliance was not this intense. There was only one answer to this change!\n“It is unknown how much time I spent inside the Nether Beast. I wonder how many more battles against the Outer Realm have occurred… The Seven-Colored Realms should had been found and destroyed…” Wang Lin was about to take the third step, but before he put his foot down, there was a flash of coldness in his eyes and he looked into the distance.\nThere were three rays of lights flying in the distance. The one in front was an Inner Realm cultivator. It was an old man with a pale expression who was constantly coughing out blood, but his expression was ferocious.\nBehind him were two Outer Realm cultivators with different marks between their eyebrows. One of them was from the Fire Sparrow Clan and the other was actually from the Heavenly Wolf Clan!\nThe two had gloomy expressions and revealed a cruel intent. The Fire Sparrow Clan cultivator sneered and waved his right hand. A fire rushed out from between his eyebrows.\n“Master Flamespark, you have entered this place several times. Do you think this place belongs to your Inner Realm? We let you go the last few times, but this time you can stay!”\nThe fire shot toward the old man like crazy. That old man was Master Flamespark!\nMaster Flamespark’s eyes were filled with madness. His hands formed a seal and he waved forward. More than a dozen fragments appeared and formed rotating barriers. They collided with the sea of fire.\nThere was a thunderous bang, and as the impact spread, Master Flamespark coughed out blood. He borrowed his impact to charge forward like crazy.\nThe fragments behind him were burned by the sea of flames and three of them collapsed. The remaining fragments followed Master Flamespark.\n“If not for the vice deputy of the Sovereign Council, Esteemed Teacher Tian Zhao, having an agreement with your Inner Realm to cease all fighting, do you still think the Brilliant Void Realm would belong to your Inner Realm?!” The Heavenly Wolf Clan member revealed a look of contempt. He waved his right hand and a green wolf phantom thousands of feet tall appeared. It pounced at Master Flamespark.\nThere two cultivators from the Ancient Star System were both at the peak of the Nirvana Shatterer stage, same as the current Master Flamespark. The fact that he was able to persist until now was evident of how powerful he was.\nAs the green wolf closed in, Master Flamespark suddenly turned around. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out blood at the dozen fragments behind him. His expression became ferocious and he shouted, “Explode!”\nThunderous rumbles continued as more than a dozen fragments exploded, creating a powerful destructive force. The green wolf let out a miserable scream and collapsed. However, similarly, Master Flamespark’s body trembled. His face turned pale and he staggered.\n“Remnant Outer Realm cultivators, if Master Hong Shan wasn’t trapped, if Master South Cloud came out from close door cultivation, if the Lord of the Sealed Realm wasn’t missing, how would you dare to be so arrogant?”\nMaster Flamespark’s voice was mournful and his eyes were filled with madness. He knew that as long as he escaped, these two wouldn’t chase him anymore. After all, once he left this area, there would be no special rifts sealing his movement and he would be able to use spatial bending. If those two continued to chase, they would have to worry.\nHowever, he was still a certain distance from the edge of this area. Master Flamespark clenched his teeth and retreated with all his power.\nThe Fire Sparrow Clan cultivator and the Heavenly Wolf Clan cultivator stepped over the impact from the collapse and got closer and closer.\n“The Lord of the Sealed Realm is already dead, you all are more aware of this than us. If he’s alive, why did he not appear in the second and the third battles? Why did he not appear when Master Hong Shan was trapped? Lord of the Sealed Realm! That’s just a false name; in this old man’s eyes, he is but a child!” The words from the Heavenly Wolf Clan cultivator were sharp. His right hand formed a seal and green hair soon grew on his entire right arm!\nMaster Flamespark’s expression was dim as he retreated, but he still laughed wildly. He pointed at the Fire Sparrow Clan cultivator and smiled fiercely. “Ridiculous? He killed your Fire Sparrow Clan ancestor in an instant and cut down more than 100,000 Outer Realm cultivators! Did you hear the miserable screams of your ancestor before he died!?”\nThe killing intent in the Fire Sparrow Clan cultivator’s eyes became monstrous.

The green hair on his hand grew more and soon covered most of his upper body. His right arm suddenly turned into a giant wolf head!\n“Go to the underworld to find your Lord of the Sealed Realm!” With a roar, the Heavenly Wolf Clan cultivator threw a punch. A shocking wolf howl echoed and his right arm flew off. It turned into a giant wolf that shot toward Master Flamespark!\nAt the same time, the cultivator from the Fire Sparrow Clan let out a roar. The black fire bird let out a hiss and a monstrous sea of black fire surrounded it. It charged toward Master Flamespark at a shocking speed with the giant wolf.\nAll of this happened in an instant.

第1546章 我，回来了！
王林独自一人在这星空疾驰，他肉身强悍，一路走去即便是遇到了空间裂缝，也往往并未避开，那空间裂缝与其一碰，顿时就崩溃开来，无法对他造成半点伤害。
隐隐的，在其身体内还有一片淡金之光闪烁，随着其前行，似这星空在其脚下缩小了一样，迈步中，便是无尽！
没有了疯子跟着，王林的速度，已然达到了巅峰，他所在之地距离那修真联盟总部有不少路程，但此刻在王林的迈步下，仅仅是三步，就横扫星空！
第一步落下，在一片密集的修真星处，有大量的昆虚星域修土正布置阵法，王林的出现，没有任何人发觉！
鲁夫子赫然也就这群修土之中，昆虚第三步大能稀少，懂得一些上古阵法者更是不多，如此一来，鲁夫子受红杉子邀请，便来到了昆虚，为其布置阵法。 就算是他，也只是感觉眼前一花，仿若有人从远处走过一样，神色顿时一凝。
“好像有人刚刚过去……很熟悉的气息……”鲁夫子向前一望，许久之后摇了摇头。
“这气息与他很像……只是几十年过去，他一直音讯全无，唉……许是我眼花了吧。”
鲁夫子神色有些没落。
王林在前行中，也看到了鲁夫子，但他时间紧迫，没有停留，直接迈出了第二步！
这第二步落下，已然来到了昆虚星域近中心之处，这里一片空旷，赫然就有无数空间裂缝如一道道疤痕一般浮现。
此战很是激烈，使得星空有过崩溃。 正是因为此地大范围的星空崩溃，因这无数空间裂缝撕处，使得这里仿若从昆虚被分割开来，就算是神识也很难在这里覆盖。
再加上此地环绕了一股隐隐存在的波纹扭曲，如此一来，便是彻底的封锁了神识的探入，使得此地，成为了禁识之空！
甚至在这里，还有淡淡的血腥之气弥漫，久久不散，见证着在当年，此地的惨烈！ 王林清晰的记得，罗夭与联盟交战时，并未达到了过这种大范围星空崩溃的程度，眼下此地的剧变，只有一个答案！
“我在幽冥兽体内的这些日子，不知过去了多少年，界外之战，不知又开展了几次……那几处七彩界，按照道理来说，应该已经被找到破坏了才对……”王林沉默中再次迈出一步，但这一步他还没等放下，却是眼中寒光一闪，转头看向远处。
只见在远处星空，有三道光芒疾驰，当前一道光芒内，赫然是一个界内修士，此人是一个老者，面色苍白，疾驰中不断地喷出鲜血，但其神色却是狰狞，咬牙飞行。
在其身后，则是两个眉心有印记的界外修士，这二人眉心印记不同，一个是火雀族修土，另外一人，居然是奉天狼族！
二人神色阴沉，透出一股残忍之意，疾驰追击中，其中那火雀族修士冷笑，右手抬起向前一挥，赫然间从其眉心中便有一股火焰轰轰而出。
“炎雷子，你几次三番进入这里，莫非还当此地是你界内之地不成！ 之前几次放你离去，但这一次，你还是留下吧！”
火焰轰鸣，如同火海疯狂的向着前方那老者弥漫过去，这老者，赫然竟是那炎雷子！
炎雷子眼中露出疯狂，前行中一声低吼，双手掐诀之下向后一拍，立刻便有十几个碎片大陆骤然幻化，在其身后层层跌宕，与那火海碰到一起。
轰的一声巨响，冲击向着八方扩散中，炎雷子喷出一口鲜血，身子借着这冲击之力，向前疯狂J冲去。
其身后那些碎片大陆，被那火海燃烧，顿时就有三块崩溃，其余碎片倒卷，随着炎雷子疾驰。
“若非是我太古星辰长尊会副会天兆上师与你界内有约，彼此暂缓交战，这昆虚星域，全部都是我太吉星辰之地！”
这两个太古星辰之修，修为均都是碎涅圆满，与此刻的炎雷子修为同样，如此一来，二人同时追杀，炎雷子能坚持到现在，逃遁到这里，已然足见其强悍。
在那青狼来临的刹那，炎雷子猛地转身，咬破舌尖喷出鲜血，落在身后的那十多个碎片上，神色狰狞，大吼道：“爆！”
轰鸣再起，却是那十多个碎片同时爆开，化作一股巨大的毁灭之力，直奔那青狼而去，轰轰之声回荡八方，那青狼发出凄厉的惨叫，身子骤然崩溃。
“界外残修，若是红杉子大人没有被困，若是南云子大人出关，若是我界内封尊没有失踪，你们如何能这般嚣张！ ！”
炎雷子声音凄厉，眼中露出疯狂，他知道，自己只要逃出这片区域，对方便不会再追击出来，毕竟没有了这里的禁识之空后，外围星空可以缩地成寸而走，对方就算是追击，也会有顾忌。
只是，此地距离这区域边缘，还有一段路程，炎雷子咬牙之下，拼了全力退后。
在那崩溃的冲击中，那火雀族修士与奉天狼族修土迈步踏过，越来越近！
“可笑至极，红杉子与南云子尚且不说，那你们口中的封尊，又算什么东西！ 此人当年也是侥幸而已，且送上了自身性命，明明已经死亡，你们却还坚持去说失踪！”
那火雀族修士眼中露出仇恨之色，冷声开口中，右手掐诀，立刻其身后便有一头黑色火鸟尖啸而出。 “封尊已死，这一点你们比我们还要清楚，否则的话，第二次，第三次大战中，怎不见他出现！
封尊？ 这只是你们的一个虚假称呼而已，在老夫看来，他只不过是一个娃娃！”
“还有你，奉天狼族，你族老祖为我封尊之奴，他虽逃走，但你可见他有一日不怕？ 有一日不惊！
“那奉天狼族修士面色一变，右臂青毛直接蔓延，最终；尔漫了大半个身子，在其抬手间，其右臂赫然便幻化出一个巨大的浪头！
“你去黄泉，找你的封尊去吧！” 带着杀机的低吼传出的瞬间，这奉天狼族修士右手猛地一甩，却见一声惊天狼嚎传出中，其右臂直接与身体分离，化作一条巨狼，直奔炎雷子！
与此同时，那火雀族修士也是低吼下，身后那巨大的黑色火鸟嘶鸣中翅膀一扇，火海滔天下，卷着黑色的火焰，与那巨狼一同以极快的速度，冲向炎雷子！
这一切都是刹那间发生，炎雷子惨笑中，已然放弃了逃遁的念头，他眼中露出疯狂，更有一股豪迈暴增！
就算是死，也要死的轰轰烈烈！” 他狂笑中不退反进，全身似燃烧起来，要去换取那生命一瞬间的爆发之力。
那黑色火鸟卷着滔天之火，那巨狼带着一股凶残腥风，骤然临近，那火雀族修士与奉天狼族修土，露出残忍之色，他二人似能想象得到，对方在瞬息之间，就会形神俱灭，就算是自爆，在二人的联手之下，在这禁识之空内，也没有任何用处！
但就在这时，却是惊变突生！
一只看起来很是平凡的右手，不知何时出现在了那冲上前去一死的炎雷子身后，轻轻的抓着其身，向着旁边柔和的一带，便把炎雷子身上的燃烧之火熄灭，将其引到了一旁。
紧接着，一个身穿白衣的人影，赫然出现在了那里，其神色阴沉，再出现的刹那，猛地抬头，双眼露出两道万丈金光！
这金光惊天动地，在出现的一刹那，就把这整个星空映照，如同一个金色的世界！
在这金光出现的刹那，一个冰冷至极，让那两个界外修士头皮发麻几乎魂飞魄散的声音，骤然而起！
这声音，他二人熟悉，这声音，是他二人记忆中的噩梦，是他们当初身为第三波修±，那耳中磨灭不掉的恐惧之源！
那声音之凄惨，足以让人毛骨悚然，这种声音，唯有在恐惧到了要崩溃心神的程度后，才可以从人口中发出！ “封尊王林！
！” 最后一声带着震惊的声音，透出难以想象的惊喜，正是那茫然中，不敢置信的炎雷子！
“我，回来了。”

Chapter 1546 - I Have Returned!
Wang Lin moved among the stars by himself. His body was extremely powerful, so he didn’t even need to avoid spatial rifts. The spatial rifts would often collapse when they touched him, causing him no harm.
There was a faint golden light inside his body. As he moved forward, space itself seemed to shrink under his feet. Just one step would carry him over countless kilometers.
Without the madman following, Wang Lin’s speed had reached a peak. He was far away from the Alliance Headquarters, but it only took him three steps to sweep through the star system.
With the first step, he appeared within an area filled with cultivation planets and cultivators. No one noticed Wang Lin’s presence! Most only felt a faint ripple appear and immediately disappear.
Master Lu Fu was among these cultivators. The Brilliant Void had very few third step cultivators, and those that knew ancient formations were even less. Master Hong Shan had invited Master Lu Fu here to place down formations.
Even he only felt his vision blur, as if someone had passed by. His eyes immediately narrowed. “If feel as if someone has just passed… A very familiar aura…” Master Lu Fu looked ahead and shook his head.
“This aura is very similar to him… It has been a few decades, but there has been no news of him… Maybe my vision just went blurry.”
Master Lu Fu’s expression seemed down.
Wang Lin also saw Master Lu Fu, but time was of the essence, so he didn’t stop and took the second step!
With this second step, he arrived at the center of the Brillant Void. This area was rather empty, and soon spatial rifts appeared like scars.
It was as if there had been a great battle here years ago! This battle was very fierce, so much so that it caused the space here to collapse. It was because of these collapses that countless spatial rifts had appeared. It was as if this area was cut off from the Brilliant Void Star System. The rifts also made it very difficult for divine sense to cover this area.
Coupled with the ripples that filled the area, it was impossible for divine sense to sense anything. This became an area where divine sense was useless!
There was even the faint smell of blood lingering about. This revealed the the tragedy that had taken place here! Wang Lin clearly remembered that the battle between Allheaven and the Alliance was not this intense. There was only one answer to this change!
“It is unknown how much time I spent inside the Nether Beast. I wonder how many more battles against the Outer Realm have occurred… The Seven-Colored Realms should had been found and destroyed…” Wang Lin was about to take the third step, but before he put his foot down, there was a flash of coldness in his eyes and he looked into the distance.
There were three rays of lights flying in the distance. The one in front was an Inner Realm cultivator. It was an old man with a pale expression who was constantly coughing out blood, but his expression was ferocious.
Behind him were two Outer Realm cultivators with different marks between their eyebrows. One of them was from the Fire Sparrow Clan and the other was actually from the Heavenly Wolf Clan!
The two had gloomy expressions and revealed a cruel intent. The Fire Sparrow Clan cultivator sneered and waved his right hand. A fire rushed out from between his eyebrows.
“Master Flamespark, you have entered this place several times. Do you think this place belongs to your Inner Realm? We let you go the last few times, but this time you can stay!”
The fire shot toward the old man like crazy. That old man was Master Flamespark!
Master Flamespark’s eyes were filled with madness. His hands formed a seal and he waved forward. More than a dozen fragments appeared and formed rotating barriers. They collided with the sea of fire.
There was a thunderous bang, and as the impact spread, Master Flamespark coughed out blood. He borrowed his impact to charge forward like crazy.
The fragments behind him were burned by the sea of flames and three of them collapsed. The remaining fragments followed Master Flamespark.
“If not for the vice deputy of the Sovereign Council, Esteemed Teacher Tian Zhao, having an agreement with your Inner Realm to cease all fighting, do you still think the Brilliant Void Realm would belong to your Inner Realm?!” The Heavenly Wolf Clan member revealed a look of contempt. He waved his right hand and a green wolf phantom thousands of feet tall appeared. It pounced at Master Flamespark.
There two cultivators from the Ancient Star System were both at the peak of the Nirvana Shatterer stage, same as the current Master Flamespark. The fact that he was able to persist until now was evident of how powerful he was.
As the green wolf closed in, Master Flamespark suddenly turned around. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out blood at the dozen fragments behind him. His expression became ferocious and he shouted, “Explode!”
Thunderous rumbles continued as more than a dozen fragments exploded, creating a powerful destructive force. The green wolf let out a miserable scream and collapsed. However, similarly, Master Flamespark’s body trembled. His face turned pale and he staggered.
“Remnant Outer Realm cultivators, if Master Hong Shan wasn’t trapped, if Master South Cloud came out from close door cultivation, if the Lord of the Sealed Realm wasn’t missing, how would you dare to be so arrogant?”
Master Flamespark’s voice was mournful and his eyes were filled with madness. He knew that as long as he escaped, these two wouldn’t chase him anymore. After all, once he left this area, there would be no special rifts sealing his movement and he would be able to use spatial bending. If those two continued to chase, they would have to worry.
However, he was still a certain distance from the edge of this area. Master Flamespark clenched his teeth and retreated with all his power.
The Fire Sparrow Clan cultivator and the Heavenly Wolf Clan cultivator stepped over the impact from the collapse and got closer and closer.
“The Lord of the Sealed Realm is already dead, you all are more aware of this than us. If he’s alive, why did he not appear in the second and the third battles? Why did he not appear when Master Hong Shan was trapped? Lord of the Sealed Realm! That’s just a false name; in this old man’s eyes, he is but a child!” The words from the Heavenly Wolf Clan cultivator were sharp. His right hand formed a seal and green hair soon grew on his entire right arm!
Master Flamespark’s expression was dim as he retreated, but he still laughed wildly. He pointed at the Fire Sparrow Clan cultivator and smiled fiercely. “Ridiculous? He killed your Fire Sparrow Clan ancestor in an instant and cut down more than 100,000 Outer Realm cultivators! Did you hear the miserable screams of your ancestor before he died!?”
The killing intent in the Fire Sparrow Clan cultivator’s eyes became monstrous. This was the pain their entire Fire Sparrow Clan was suffering!
“And you from the Heavenly Wolf Clan, your ancestor is slave to the Lord of the Sealed Realm. Although he fled, do you see a day where he isn’t afraid? A day he isn’t frightened?”
The expression of the Heavenly Wolf Clan cultivator changed greatly. The green hair on his hand grew more and soon covered most of his upper body. His right arm suddenly turned into a giant wolf head!
“Go to the underworld to find your Lord of the Sealed Realm!” With a roar, the Heavenly Wolf Clan cultivator threw a punch. A shocking wolf howl echoed and his right arm flew off. It turned into a giant wolf that shot toward Master Flamespark!
At the same time, the cultivator from the Fire Sparrow Clan let out a roar. The black fire bird let out a hiss and a monstrous sea of black fire surrounded it. It charged toward Master Flamespark at a shocking speed with the giant wolf.
All of this happened in an instant. Master Flamespark revealed a miserable smile and gave up all thoughts of escape. Madness appeared in his eyes and a sense of haughtiness surged!
“This old man isn’t afraid of death!! If I die, I’ll die with a bang!” He didn’t retreat but laughed like crazy. He was going to burn himself to gain that burst of power!
The black firebird carried a monstrous fire and the giant wolf carried a murderous aura as they closed in. The Fire Sparrow Clan and Heavenly Wolf Clan cultivator revealed cruel smiles. The two could already imagine Master Flamespark dying. Even if he were to self-destruct, it would useless before their combined force!
However, just at this moment, a shocking change occurred!!
An ordinary right hand suddenly appeared behind Master Flamespark’s body. It gently grabbed him and softly pulled. This extinguished the fire on Master Flamespark’s body and pulled him to the side.
Shortly after, a figure in white suddenly appeared. His expression was gloomy, then he suddenly looked up and his eyes revealed a dazzling, golden glow!
This golden light was heaven-shaking. When it appeared, it lit up the entire area as if it was a golden world!
“Scram!” The moment the golden light appeared, an extremely cold voice that caused the two Outer Realm cultivators to lose their wits echoed!
The two of them were very familiar with this voice. This voice was a nightmare in their memory. They were part of the third wave of cultivators, and this voice was the source of their endless fear!
“Lord of the Sealed Realm!!!!” A voice distorted by indescribable fear came out of those two! This kind of voice could only appear when one had been scared to the point of their mind collapsing!
“Lord of the Sealed Realm Wang Lin!!” The last voice was filled with unimaginable joy. This was from Master Flamespark, who was shocked with disbelief!
“I have returned!”

If King Sosurim is involved in this operation, everything makes sense.”\nWang Chong frowned as his expression slowly grew grave.\nYesterday’s assault wasn’t his first operation in the Central Plains and wouldn’t be his last either. Wang Chong knew; in the future, he would achieve something earth-shattering.\nKing Sosurim’s existence was a huge threat to Great Tang.\n“… I must find a way to eliminate him!”\nWang Chong thought as killing intent flashed in his eyes.\nKing Sosurim was extremely cunning. In the future, the royal court would lay a huge trap for him, yet he would still manage to escape and flee back to the Goguryeo Empire alive.\nNo. Wang Chong’s problem was that his influence was still sorely lacking. Before he had absolute confidence, he didn’t want to alarm the other party needlessly. Otherwise, once King Sosurim grew wise to him and realized something was amiss, it would become nearly impossible to track him.\nThe remainder of the night passed peacefully, if slowly. After four hours of unpleasant effort, the scattered bodies had at last been cleared.\nAfter splitting up with Marchioness Yi and Wei Hao, Wang Chong returned back to White Tiger Peak alone. By the time he arrived, the cleaning here was already done and a sense of peace had returned to the area.\nA few campfires could be seen peaking out in the darkness. While vaguely, Wang Chong could make out the quiet sobbing of his fellow recruits. He felt his heart grow a little heavy.\n“These people have never been on a battlefield; never seen bloodshed nor fought to the death with others. Everything that happened tonight would, without a doubt, become an unforgettable memory.”\nWang Chong became pensive. He had been on many battlefields in his past life, and dozens of years of fighting had made him accustomed to the sights of blood and death—the heady rush of struggling with his life on the line. This was the reason why he was able to maintain his composure and adapt quickly to the sudden assault.\nBut those people were different.\nHe knew that it was already great progress for them to have pulled together their fighting wills and faced the Goguryeon warriors and the Turk wolves head-on without crumbling. He sympathized but didn’t say a single word.\nMany more of such tragedies would only be waiting ahead for them. The only way to survive was to adapt.\nReturning to his room, Wang Chong was greeted by a familiar figure attempting to tear a broken-off arrow from his flesh. Before he’d even stepped across the threshold, a strong stench of bloodshed entered his nose.\nSu Hanshan’s body was dyed crimson, as though fresh blood was still dripping from it. That white-colored robe he’d worn before had, in the truest sense, become a robe of blood.\n“This fellow!”\nWang Chong’s eyebrows jumped, and he recovered from his momentary daze. Even though he didn’t witness it personally, he could already imagine the scene of the huge battle Su Hanshan had fought his way out of.\n“How many people did this fellow kill for his clothes to be so red?”\nWang Chong remembered Su Hanshan had charged out and joined the fray much earlier than he had. By the time he’d also moved out, not a single trace of the other party could be seen anywhere on White Tiger Peak anymore.\nBut, the blood on Su Hanshan’s clothes wouldn’t lie. His battling style was indeed a huge mystery!\nSu Hanshan took a quick glance at Wang Chong before retracting his gaze. Grabbing the end of the arrow with his right hand, he exerted some force and, pu, fresh blood spurted into the air. Despite this, Su Hanshan’s expression remained steady and nonchalant. Except for a slight paling around his face, one might think the arrow hadn’t been lodged in his body at all!\n“Here! This is for you. It’ll help you in your recuperation!”\nWang Chong took out a recovery pill and threw it over. However, Su Hanshan merely flicked it back and the pill returned accurately to Wang Chong’s hand.\n“I don’t need it!”\nSu Hanshan uttered coldly, clearly expressing his attitude.\n“He sure hasn’t changed at all!”\nWang Chong chuckled silently as he put away the pill then took a seat on the floor. He had also expended himself greatly in this battle and needed to recover his physical condition soon…\n“Lord…”\nBack in the capital, while peace had returned to Shenwei, Longwei, and Kunwu, in a courtyard in the southern part of the city, a shadow suddenly appeared. As time passed, more black shadows gathered, one after another, from all directions.\nThese people were well-built and their movements astonishingly swift—with a speed not inferior even when compared to the Eastern Islands assassin, Miyasaka Ayame. The three black sabers or swords that hung by their waists betrayed their identities.\nEvery one was a Goguryeon assassin.\nThe entire courtyard was hushed and deeply shadowed, despite the numerous occupants. The chirps of cicadas sounded in the night, unaffected by their human visitors.\nIn a room at the north end, a single candle flared to life, and from the dim illumination, a distorted silhouette could be seen. A powerful aura seemed to emanate outwards through the thin sheet of paper plastered over the window.\nThe assassins maintained their silence like cicadas hibernating in winter, not making a single noise at all.\n“The mission has failed. Relay my orders: everyone is to lay low for this period of time. Be sure not to catch the Great Tang royal court’s attention!”\nA hoarse voice came from the room. The distortion made It impossible to discern whether it came from a man or a woman.\n“Yes!”\nEveryone outside nodded impassively.\nThe Three Great Training Camps were a project that the royal court and the Sage Emperor paid particular attention to. Since the Goguryeons dared to ambush the recruits there in the middle of the night, naturally, they were prepared to lose their lives for the cause as well.\nHaving accepted this situation, they elicited no surprise or anxiety at all.\n“Also, I need you all to collect some information regarding Kunwu Training Camp for me. I want the information of all recruits on White Tiger Peak.”\nThat hoarse voice issued another order. This time, everyone was taken by surprise. They couldn’t understand why the lord would be interested in an insignificant White Tiger Peak.\n“Yes, lord!”\nEven so, they didn’t dare to doubt or reject the lord’s command.\n“Disperse!”\nAs the order went out, all of the Goguryeon assassins disappeared like they’d never been. With a gust of wind, the candle was snuffed. The entire courtyard went dark.\n“That White Tiger Peak… is too bizarre! I must look into it!”\nA faint voice trailed off in the night, swiftly vanishing altogether.\n…\nTime kept trickling onwards.

The Wootz steel wasn’t enough to make up for his own weakness.\n“I must find time to cultivate properly.”\nWang Chong thought feverishly.\n“Hm?”\nHe was awakened from his thoughts when a sudden bizarre sensation crept into his heart. A concealed killing intent! Were it not for the utmost tranquility at daybreak, he would have definitely overlooked it.\nBut, what left Wang Chong the most surprised was that the faint killing intent actually came from his own person.\n“What’s going on?”\nHe frowned in contemplation. A moment later, he stretched his hand into his sleeves and started fumbling about. Something cold and hard soon brushed against his fingertips.\n“This is…” Wang Chong froze.\nThe white stone! The origin of the killing intent was actually the white stone that Su Zhengchen gave him.\nAstonished, Wang Chong swiftly retrieved it. In the next moment, a transparent white stone that looked as though it was carved from jade appeared between Wang Chong’s fingertips.\n“What’s going on?”\nStaring at the fingernail-sized white stone, he became dumbfounded. Having played chess with Su Zhengchen for the past few months, Wang Chong couldn’t be any more aware of the other party’s white pieces.\nA thought flashed across Wang Chong’s mind. The parting words of Su Zhengchen surfaced in his mind.\n“Fate comes and goes. This white stone is my gift to you. Keep it well. I hope that you can be like this stone, maintaining your core and remembering your aim regardless of the situation!”\nWang Chong remembered the situation back then extremely clearly. Su Zhengchen had plucked a random stone from the chessboard and given it to him.\nCountless thoughts swirled and flickered in his mind. A conjecture slowly surfaced in his sea of thoughts, and his heart beat wildly in agitation.\nPS: I do make errors with the posting often, but I think my team and I do put a lot of effort into the translations, research, and editing"

第二百二十章 白子玄机！
“怪不得突厥人和高句丽人会联合起来，也怪不得这里会出现高句丽的正规军士卒！ 如果有他参与的话，那么一切就可以解释了。”
王冲蹙着眉头，神色慢慢变得凝重。
“小兽林王”在大唐就是一根肉根。 这次的夜袭，绝不会是他在中土的第一次行动，也绝不会是最后一次。
对于大唐，“小兽林王”绝对是个威胁。
“……必须想办法把他干掉才行！”
王冲暗暗道，眼中隐隐闪过一抹杀机。
就算是到最后，朝廷布下天罗地网，但还是让这位“小兽林王”成功的逃了出去，顺利的的返回了高句丽帝国。
只是，现在自己实力微薄，在有绝对的把握前，王冲并不敢轻举妄动。 否则的话，打草惊蛇，“小兽林王”要是有所惊觉，那就更加难以抓到他了。
一切就好像没有发生一样。 只有那些破破烂烂，千疮百孔的殿宇，和房屋焚烧的痕迹叙说着之前发生的激烈战斗。
和尹侯、魏皓他们分手后，王冲独自一个人返回了白虎峰！ 王冲赶到白虎峰的时候，那里已经恢复了平静。
黑暗中，一团团篝火在山峰上燃烧着，黑夜中隐隐传来阵阵低低的哭泣声，听得王冲心中也是恻然不已。
“这些人很多人一辈子都没有上过战场，没有见过血腥，没有赤手搏杀过。 今天晚上发生的事情，对于他们很多人来说，恐怕都终生难忘。”
王冲心中暗暗道。 他是上过战场的，几十年撕杀，让他对于鲜血和死亡早已见怪不怪，习以为常。 所以这次夜袭，他才能这么快的应变，毫无慌乱。
但是这些人却是不一样的。
王冲心知肚明，这些人今晚能够鼓起勇气，能够和高句丽武人正面作战都已经是极大的进步了。 王冲虽然心中同情，但却什么也没有说。
因为王冲知道，未来的只会更加的残酷！ 只有学着适应，才能生存下来。
回到自己的房间，一道熟悉的身影正在拔除身上的断箭，王冲还没有走过去，就闻到了一股浓烈的血腥味。
苏寒山身上，红的妖艳，红的滴血。 那件素色的长袍，被鲜血浸泡，已经完全变成了血衣。
“这个家伙！”
王冲眉头一挑，终于回过神来。 虽然没有亲眼看到，但王冲也能感觉出来，苏寒山之前必定是经历了一场尸山血海的战斗。
“这到底是杀了多少人，这衣服才会红成这个样子？”
王冲心中暗暗道。 苏寒山比他更早的冲出去，也更早的加入战斗。 但是等到王冲冲出去的时候，在白虎峰上却没有看到他的身影。
然而苏寒山身上的血衣是不会说谎的。 这一位的战斗方式简直就是个谜团！
房间里，苏寒山只是看了一眼，便漠然的收回了目光。 右手抓住箭尾，用力一拔，噗，鲜血飙溅，然而苏寒山神色却并没有太大的变化，脸上也只是稍微苍白了一点点而已，就好像这只断箭是射在别人身上一样。
“这个给你！ 对你伤势有帮助！”
王冲从怀中取出一枚白色的疗伤药，抖手掷了过去。
“我不需要！”
苏寒山神色冷冷的，以这种方式清楚的表达了自己的态度。
“还真是一点都没变啊！”
王冲哂然一笑，也不勉强，收了丹药盘膝坐下。
“大人！”
当神威、龙威、昆吾三大训练营恢复平静的时候，京师城南的一栋院子中，魅影浮现，一道道黑影仿佛幽灵一般从四面八方汇聚过来。
这些人身体矫健，速度其快，丝毫不下于王冲身边的东瀛女剌客宫雨绫香。 而他们腰身上三把扬起的黑色刀剑，清楚的表明了他们的身份。
这是一群高句丽的剌客高手。
院子里静悄悄的，一片漆黑。 吱吱的蝉鸣声中，正北的房间里，点着一盏灯光。
黯淡的灯光里，映照出一道非人的扭曲的身影。 一股庞大的气息隔着窗纸，从房间里面散发出来。
所有人都噤若寒蝉，一声不发。
“任务失败了，传令下去，这段时间，所有人的潜伏下来。 务必不要引起大唐朝廷的注意！”
一个沙哑的声音，分辨不出男女，从房间里传出来。
“是！”
房间外，所有人点了点头，脸上没有丝毫的变化。
“三大训练营”是大唐朝廷圣皇陛下钦点的项目，受到整个朝野的注意。 既然敢在深夜的去埋伏那些学生，自然就要做好全部死在那里觉悟。
这一点，众人早有心理准备，毫不意外。
“另外，我要你们去调查昆吾训练营资料。 其中有一座白虎峰，我要知道那座山峰上所有学生的资料。”
那沙哑的声音一转，突然开口发布了一个新的命令。 众人微微有些意外，不明白任务已经结束，为什么那位大人还会对一个小小的白虎峰感兴趣。
“是，大人！”
虽然觉得奇怪，便众人还是轰然应是。
“去吧！”
声音一落，院子里的高句丽剌客高手瞬息间散的一干二净，而正北房间里的那盏亮光，也在呼的一阵风声吹过后熄灭，院子里又变得黑漆漆的。
“白虎峰……太奇怪了！ 无论如何，我都要查个清楚！”
夜色中隐约传来一个模糊的声音，很快就消失不见了。
天刚蒙蒙亮，整个朝廷就像一架精密的仪器一样，轰隆隆的动转起来。
兵部、刑部、军队……，所有的部门都动员起来，甚至包括鸿胪寺都参与了进来。
三大训练营战死学生的抚恤，对高句丽和突厥的策略，都是需要朝廷讨论的事情。
只是这些东西对于普通人来说，是永远无法接触到的。
这注定是个不平静的一天！
昆吾训练营，白虎峰。
经过一夜的修练，王冲明显感觉到体内的元气又恢复满盈，甚至就连战斗中内腑受到的震伤，也好的七七八八，差不多。
“还是实力太差啊！ 以后，还是要想办法尽快的提升实力！”
王冲清醒过来，回想起昨晚的战斗，心中暗暗道。
乌兹钢剑吹毛断发，锋利无匹。
但是至少有两次，王冲的乌兹钢剑被挡了下来，一次是劈中一名突厥神箭手的狼牙箭，另一次是被一名高句丽武人的元气流罡劲震开。
这两次都不是乌兹钢剑不够锋利，而是王冲的实力和对方差距太大，不足以发挥乌兹钢剑的威力。
“得找个时间，好好修练修练了。”
王冲心中暗暗道。
“嗯？”
正思考的时候，突然之间，一种奇异的感觉涌上心头。 这是一缕隐而不发的杀气，如果不是现在刚刚天亮，正是万籁俱静的时候，王冲还不一定发现得了。
而最让王冲意外的是，这缕微弱的杀气居然从自己怀中散发出来的。
“这是怎么回事？”
王冲扬了扬眉，心中大为惊讶。 沉吟片刻，王冲探手入怀，按照感知到的位置探了过去。
王冲怔了怔，整个人都呆住了。
棋子！ 那缕杀气的源头居然是王冲藏在怀中，苏正臣送给自己的那枚白子。
下一刻，一枚晶莹剔透，仿佛玉石雕琢的白色棋子赫然出现在王冲的指尖。 ——真的是苏正臣送给自己的棋子！
“这是怎么回事？”
和苏正臣这位大*神下了几个月的棋，王冲对苏正臣所执的这些白子再熟悉不过了。
这些只是最普通的棋子，正常的情况，绝不可能蕴含什么杀气的。 “缘聚缘散，缘起缘灭。
这枚白子是我送给你的礼物，好好保存，希望你像这颗棋子一样，不论如何，都保持一颗本心，不忘初衷！” 当日的情况，王冲记得清清楚楚。
苏正臣完全是随意从棋盘上摄了一枚棋子，递到了自己手中。
这一刹那，浮光掠影，王冲脑海中掠过无数的念头。
冥冥中，王冲隐约想到了什么，心中怦怦直跳，激动无比！

Chapter 220: The White Stone’s Secret!
“That explains why the Turks allied with the Goguryeons and why official soldiers of Goguryeo would appear! If King Sosurim is involved in this operation, everything makes sense.”
Wang Chong frowned as his expression slowly grew grave.
Yesterday’s assault wasn’t his first operation in the Central Plains and wouldn’t be his last either. Wang Chong knew; in the future, he would achieve something earth-shattering.
King Sosurim’s existence was a huge threat to Great Tang.
“… I must find a way to eliminate him!”
Wang Chong thought as killing intent flashed in his eyes.
King Sosurim was extremely cunning. In the future, the royal court would lay a huge trap for him, yet he would still manage to escape and flee back to the Goguryeo Empire alive.
No. Wang Chong’s problem was that his influence was still sorely lacking. Before he had absolute confidence, he didn’t want to alarm the other party needlessly. Otherwise, once King Sosurim grew wise to him and realized something was amiss, it would become nearly impossible to track him.
The remainder of the night passed peacefully, if slowly. After four hours of unpleasant effort, the scattered bodies had at last been cleared.
After splitting up with Marchioness Yi and Wei Hao, Wang Chong returned back to White Tiger Peak alone. By the time he arrived, the cleaning here was already done and a sense of peace had returned to the area.
A few campfires could be seen peaking out in the darkness. While vaguely, Wang Chong could make out the quiet sobbing of his fellow recruits. He felt his heart grow a little heavy.
“These people have never been on a battlefield; never seen bloodshed nor fought to the death with others. Everything that happened tonight would, without a doubt, become an unforgettable memory.”
Wang Chong became pensive. He had been on many battlefields in his past life, and dozens of years of fighting had made him accustomed to the sights of blood and death—the heady rush of struggling with his life on the line. This was the reason why he was able to maintain his composure and adapt quickly to the sudden assault.
But those people were different.
He knew that it was already great progress for them to have pulled together their fighting wills and faced the Goguryeon warriors and the Turk wolves head-on without crumbling. He sympathized but didn’t say a single word.
Many more of such tragedies would only be waiting ahead for them. The only way to survive was to adapt.
Returning to his room, Wang Chong was greeted by a familiar figure attempting to tear a broken-off arrow from his flesh. Before he’d even stepped across the threshold, a strong stench of bloodshed entered his nose.
Su Hanshan’s body was dyed crimson, as though fresh blood was still dripping from it. That white-colored robe he’d worn before had, in the truest sense, become a robe of blood.
“This fellow!”
Wang Chong’s eyebrows jumped, and he recovered from his momentary daze. Even though he didn’t witness it personally, he could already imagine the scene of the huge battle Su Hanshan had fought his way out of.
“How many people did this fellow kill for his clothes to be so red?”
Wang Chong remembered Su Hanshan had charged out and joined the fray much earlier than he had. By the time he’d also moved out, not a single trace of the other party could be seen anywhere on White Tiger Peak anymore.
But, the blood on Su Hanshan’s clothes wouldn’t lie. His battling style was indeed a huge mystery!
Su Hanshan took a quick glance at Wang Chong before retracting his gaze. Grabbing the end of the arrow with his right hand, he exerted some force and, pu, fresh blood spurted into the air. Despite this, Su Hanshan’s expression remained steady and nonchalant. Except for a slight paling around his face, one might think the arrow hadn’t been lodged in his body at all!
“Here! This is for you. It’ll help you in your recuperation!”
Wang Chong took out a recovery pill and threw it over. However, Su Hanshan merely flicked it back and the pill returned accurately to Wang Chong’s hand.
“I don’t need it!”
Su Hanshan uttered coldly, clearly expressing his attitude.
“He sure hasn’t changed at all!”
Wang Chong chuckled silently as he put away the pill then took a seat on the floor. He had also expended himself greatly in this battle and needed to recover his physical condition soon…
“Lord…”
Back in the capital, while peace had returned to Shenwei, Longwei, and Kunwu, in a courtyard in the southern part of the city, a shadow suddenly appeared. As time passed, more black shadows gathered, one after another, from all directions.
These people were well-built and their movements astonishingly swift—with a speed not inferior even when compared to the Eastern Islands assassin, Miyasaka Ayame. The three black sabers or swords that hung by their waists betrayed their identities.
Every one was a Goguryeon assassin.
The entire courtyard was hushed and deeply shadowed, despite the numerous occupants. The chirps of cicadas sounded in the night, unaffected by their human visitors.
In a room at the north end, a single candle flared to life, and from the dim illumination, a distorted silhouette could be seen. A powerful aura seemed to emanate outwards through the thin sheet of paper plastered over the window.
The assassins maintained their silence like cicadas hibernating in winter, not making a single noise at all.
“The mission has failed. Relay my orders: everyone is to lay low for this period of time. Be sure not to catch the Great Tang royal court’s attention!”
A hoarse voice came from the room. The distortion made It impossible to discern whether it came from a man or a woman.
“Yes!”
Everyone outside nodded impassively.
The Three Great Training Camps were a project that the royal court and the Sage Emperor paid particular attention to. Since the Goguryeons dared to ambush the recruits there in the middle of the night, naturally, they were prepared to lose their lives for the cause as well.
Having accepted this situation, they elicited no surprise or anxiety at all.
“Also, I need you all to collect some information regarding Kunwu Training Camp for me. I want the information of all recruits on White Tiger Peak.”
That hoarse voice issued another order. This time, everyone was taken by surprise. They couldn’t understand why the lord would be interested in an insignificant White Tiger Peak.
“Yes, lord!”
Even so, they didn’t dare to doubt or reject the lord’s command.
“Disperse!”
As the order went out, all of the Goguryeon assassins disappeared like they’d never been. With a gust of wind, the candle was snuffed. The entire courtyard went dark.
“That White Tiger Peak… is too bizarre! I must look into it!”
A faint voice trailed off in the night, swiftly vanishing altogether.
…
Time kept trickling onwards. Soon, the incident concerning the Three Great Training Camps had spread and become public knowledge. With the sun barely risen, the precision machinery that was Great Tang’s royal court had already whirred into high gear.
Bureau of Military Personnel, Bureau of Punishments, Bureau of Personnel… The members of all different bureaus began working in concert, and even the Chamberlain of Dependencies was involved in the matter.
The royal court’s agenda for today included compensation for the families of recruits who died during the night and mounting a retaliation against Goguryeo and the Turkic Khaganates. Just that, these issues weren’t something that ordinary citizens could come into contact with.
Today was not destined to be a calm day!
Kunwu Training Camp, White Tiger Peak.
After an unknown period of time, Wang Chong finally emerged from his state of imperturbability. Following a night of recuperation, he could clearly sense that his Origin Energy had recovered fully, and the injuries he had suffered in the battle previously had mostly healed.
“However, my strength is still too lacking! I have to find a way to raise my cultivation!”
Recalling the fight yesterday, Wang Chong grew agitated.
The Wootz steel sword was sharp enough to even cut through a floating hair.
Despite that, last night, there were at least two times his sword failed to slice. The first time was when he clashed with a Turk master archer’s wolf fang arrow. The second time was when he was repelled by a Goguryeon warrior’s Origin Energy.
This wasn’t the fault of his Wootz steel sword; the main issue was that the gap in cultivation between his enemy and himself was far too great. The Wootz steel wasn’t enough to make up for his own weakness.
“I must find time to cultivate properly.”
Wang Chong thought feverishly.
“Hm?”
He was awakened from his thoughts when a sudden bizarre sensation crept into his heart. A concealed killing intent! Were it not for the utmost tranquility at daybreak, he would have definitely overlooked it.
But, what left Wang Chong the most surprised was that the faint killing intent actually came from his own person.
“What’s going on?”
He frowned in contemplation. A moment later, he stretched his hand into his sleeves and started fumbling about. Something cold and hard soon brushed against his fingertips.
“This is…” Wang Chong froze.
The white stone! The origin of the killing intent was actually the white stone that Su Zhengchen gave him.
Astonished, Wang Chong swiftly retrieved it. In the next moment, a transparent white stone that looked as though it was carved from jade appeared between Wang Chong’s fingertips.
“What’s going on?”
Staring at the fingernail-sized white stone, he became dumbfounded. Having played chess with Su Zhengchen for the past few months, Wang Chong couldn’t be any more aware of the other party’s white pieces.
A thought flashed across Wang Chong’s mind. The parting words of Su Zhengchen surfaced in his mind.
“Fate comes and goes. This white stone is my gift to you. Keep it well. I hope that you can be like this stone, maintaining your core and remembering your aim regardless of the situation!”
Wang Chong remembered the situation back then extremely clearly. Su Zhengchen had plucked a random stone from the chessboard and given it to him.
Countless thoughts swirled and flickered in his mind. A conjecture slowly surfaced in his sea of thoughts, and his heart beat wildly in agitation.

There were low whispers occasionally appearing in the air, but the sword was too huge and there were 10,000 people sitting on it. That’s why if the people were further away from each other, they would not be able to hear what the other was saying clearly. The loud whistling sounds from the sword as it sliced through the air also drowned out voices.\n\"When the ten shooting stars appeared, I heard some of what they said.\" Su Ming did not hide anything because he had to know the truth. In his mind, this piece of information that was only privy to those in the Berserker Soul Realm was very important. It might even affect some of his actions in the land of the Shamans.\nTian Lan Meng averted her gaze and looked at the sky beyond the sword. After a long while, she spoke gently.\nSu Ming was taken aback for a moment then shook his head. He did not speak.\n\"Harmonious Morus Alba is a butterfly of legend. It will only flap its wings three times in its life… The first time it flaps its wings, it will cause the mountains to crumble and the earth to shatter in the east,\" said Tian Lan Meng softly, looking at the sky beyond the sword.\n\"It’s just a legend,\" Su Ming retorted.\n\"A legend, hmm..? Right now, in our world, no one has ever seen the first God of Berserkers, but could you say that the first God of Berserkers is also a legend? We don’t know whether the Harmonious Morus Alba exists…\" Tian Lan Meng shook her head.\n\"Nine shooting stars mean that the Great Patriarch has appeared within the Shaman Tribe. That is an entity that exceeds all life forms, a thing that exceeds what we can understand with our Realms of cultivation.\"\nTian Lan Meng’s voice in Su Ming’s head was gentle, but there was a hint of fear within her words. Su Ming could clearly feel her fear as her voice reverberated in his mind.\n\"Great Patriarch?\" Su Ming turned around and looked at Tian Lan Meng.\n\"You should know that the great Berserkers of the Land of South Morning fought against the Great Patriarch thousands of years ago. The three great Berserkers won in the end, but the Great Patriarch did not die. He simply went into deep sleep.\n\"He is an indestructible entity… Now, he woke up again. That is why Sky Mist City sent out those nine shooting stars to tell Freezing Sky Clan and Western Sea Clan.\" Tian Lan Meng bit her bottom lip and spoke gently in his head.\nSu Ming’s pupils shrank. He remained silent for some time before he asked.\n\"What about ten shooting stars?\"\n\"In the Land of South Morning, nine shooting stars should have been the limit of what Sky Mist City can send to Freezing Sky and Western Sea. From what I can remember, ever since Sky Mist City was formed, they have never sent out ten shooting stars…\n\"Today is the first time they did so,\" Tian Lan Meng’s face was stark white as she mumbled under her breath. \"By logic, five shooting stars mean a great disaster, eight shooting stars mean that the Berserkers of the Land of South Morning are faced with the threat of annihilation, nine shooting stars mean that the Shaman Tribe’s power has reached its peak… Then ten shooting stars might mean…\" Once Tian Lan Meng spoke to that point, she stopped, and when she put on a look as if she was thinking about how she should phrase her next sentence. Su Ming softly spoke beside her.\n\"South Morning will fall…\" Once Su Ming said those words in her mind, Tian Lan Meng shuddered and her face turned stark white. After a long while, she nodded her head bitterly.\n\"Just what sort of thing could cause the Land of South Morning to fall?\" Su Ming found it a little hard to believe that idea. He simply could not fathom what sort of power could possibly exist in the world that could do such a terrifying thing.\n\"If the Great Patriarch truly possesses such power, then there’s no need to fight in this battle,\" Su Ming said in her head, his voice low.\n\"He might have such incredible power that it exceeds our understanding, but… he can’t do that. Still, even if he can’t do it, it doesn’t mean that no one else can. Didn’t the battle between the second God of Berserker and the Immortals from the other worlds divide the continents of the land of Berserkers..?\" Tian Lan Meng said softly.\n\"Do you still remember me mentioning the Harmonious Morus Alba..?\" Tian Lan Meng looked at Su Ming, and he could clearly see the fear in her eyes.\n\"The first time the Harmonious Morus Alba flaps her wings, it will cause the mountains to crumble and the earth to shatter in the east…\" answered Su Ming.\n\"The eastern continent is the Eastern Wastelands. Between the five continents belonging to the Berserkers is the endless Dead Sea that is filled with water that looks like an ocean but is not an ocean, looks like ink but is not ink, and looks like blood but is not blood... No one can pass through the Dead Sea.\n\"Ever since the five continents were separated, we lost all contact with each other. It’s as if our messages were intercepted.\" Tian Lan Meng’s voice echoed in Su Ming’s head.\n\"If someday, the Dead Sea extends to our lands like a tidal wave that drowns out the entire Land of South Morning, at that time, how many people would be able to survive…?\" Tian Lan Meng dipped her head down.\n\"Perhaps there would be some who would survive, but when the Land of South Morning is flooded, the mountains crumble and the earth shatter, and the entire Land of South Morning is destroyed… at that time, how many people would survive..? Will the both of us survive?\" Tian Lan Meng closed her eyes.\n\"That’s the Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands? Is it connected to the Eastern Wastelands?\" Su Ming was shocked to the core. His breathing quickened, and a thought that to him was ridiculous gradually appeared in his mind.\n\"The Dead Sea won’t expand without reason. It has existed since forever. It won’t change without reason.\" Tian Lan Meng remained silent for some time before she spoke bitterly.\n\"Unless there is a power that could move that endless Dead Sea and make its waters surge like the waves in the sea…\" Su Ming mumbled.\n\"You heard the words the Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands, but you didn’t hear what was spoken before them. My ancestor mentioned that more than 10,000 feet of the area close in the eastern part of South Morning, which belongs to the Shamans, has been flooded by the Dead Sea… \"This is the first time such a thing has happened in the Land of South Morning. It is also precisely this change that prompted the Shamans to panic and attack Sky Mist Barrier before the promised date.\n\"The Dead Sea won’t grow bigger for no reason. It would only grow bigger because the Eastern Wastelands, a continent that is located really far away from the South Morning, is pushing the Dead Sea towards the Land of South Morning… at an inconceivable speed.\"\nTian Lan Meng finally told Su Ming the secret. The secret from Sky Mist City that was originally only privy to those in the Berserker Soul Realm, and the one they had been forbidden to spread to others!\n\"Eastern Wastelands and South Morning crashing into each other...\" Su Ming sucked in a sharp breath. He understood what was going on now, but he still could not imagine how such a huge continent could move at such a high speed.\n\"Perhaps it’ll take one year, perhaps ten, or perhaps less than that… but eventually, when Eastern Wastelands crashes into the Land of South Morning at that high speed it’s traveling now, what do you think will happen to South Morning?\n\"From what the ancient maps tell us, the mass of land belonging to the Eastern Wastelands is several times the size of South Morning’s…\" Tian Lan Meng stared at Su Ming, and despair appeared in her eyes.\nSu Ming shuddered and closed his eyes. He could somewhat imagine the horrors that would happen the instant two continents of different sizes, one big and the other small, crashed into each other at an indescribable speed.\n\"First, the edge to the east of the Land of South Morning would instantly shatter, and the impact that caused the land to shatter would continuously spread out. In a very short amount of time, that crack would extend to Sky Mist Barrier… \"Then, Sky Mist Barrier would crumble and the land of Berserkers would be destroyed along with it… Even if we escape to the westernmost part of the land, it’ll still be difficult for us to escape the fate of being destroyed.\n\"When the continent crumbles and tilts to the side, the part of the Dead Sea that came with the Eastern Wastelands will drown out everything… Perhaps some of us will survive. When the land under our feet has turned into pieces, we will continue living on one of the pieces as if it was an island floating in the endless Dead Sea… \"But it’s clear that it’s very difficult to find such an opportunity when you live close to the borders, and especially once they knock into our land, the Land of South Morning will definitely start moving west… At that time, the west part of South Morning and all its coasts will suffer the worst damage.\n\"And the Shamans live at the outer parts of South Morning… For the sake of their survival, you can surely imagine just how devastating the Sky Mist Shaman Hunt this time will be… \"The Shamans want to invade Sky Mist Barrier and occupy the center of the Land of South Morning. Only if they stay there can they have a hope that their race can survive through the disaster when it comes.\n\"And it stands that no one can be certain which part of the center of South Morning will remain safe till the end. If the Shamans aren’t around, then the Berserkers can spread out, and the possibility of us continuing our line will surely exist, no matter how small, but once we make the wrong choice and give up the safe place to the Shamans…\" Tian Lan Meng’s voice became weaker until she eventually fell silent.\n\"The Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands…\" Su Ming’s face turned pale. All of this surpassed his imaginations. In fact, even if he heard the truth now, he still found it a little hard to believe all of it.\nYet at the same time, he also instantly understood why the information could not be shared with everyone. Once that happened… it would definitely bring about an unimaginable disaster brought by human hands…\n\"Harmonious Morus Alba.\" Su Ming committed that name to memory even though he knew that this was a legend, a legend that just might be coincidental to what was happening now.\n\"You won’t be able to hide this for too long. As time passes by, more and more people will know about it.\" Su Ming sent his message to Tian Lan Meng, and his voice was solemn in her heart.\n\"During this disaster, many people will die… We live in this day and age, and we have no choice.\" Tian Lan Meng stood up and went to stand at the edge of the sword as a profound look appeared in her eyes.\n\"Thank goodness we’re not alone…\" Tian Lan Meng turned her head to the side and looked at Su Ming with her beautiful eyes. There was a strange light flickering within them.\nSu Ming stared at the sky beyond the sword and did not say a word."

桑相的翅！
苏铭平静的望着天岚梦，二人的目光在这万丈大剑的这处边缘角落里，距离不远，有了凝聚。
“我不知道你在说什么……”天岚梦沉默了片刻，轻声开口。
“如此隐瞒，又是何必。” 苏铭皱了下眉头，转过头望着寒冰天之剑外的碧波晴空。
天岚梦犹豫了一下，似要说些什么，但却有了迟疑。
“你是如何知晓东荒之灾的？” 许久，她的目光落在了苏铭的侧脸上，传出话语。
在二人的四周，这大剑上并非安静，有低声的话语时而传出，只不过此剑范围太大，再加上有近万人盘膝坐在上面，故而距离稍远一点，便听不太清晰，另外更有此剑在疾驰中划破长空的呼啸不断地传来。
“十颗流星到来之时，传出的声音，我听到了一些。” 苏铭没有隐瞒，此事他定要知晓其究竟，在他判断，这种唯有蛮魂境才可知晓的事情将是极为关键，甚至可以决定他在巫族大地的一些举动。
天岚梦收回目光，看着大剑外的天空，半晌之后传出轻柔的声音。
苏铭一愣，摇了摇头，没有说话。
“桑相是一只传说中的蝴蝶，它的一生会扇动三次翅膀……第一次翅膀的扇动，会引起东方大地的山崩地裂。” 天岚梦看着剑外的天空，轻声说道。
“只是传说而已。” 苏铭缓缓开口。
“传说么……现在的世间，没有人见过一代蛮神，你能说一代蛮神也是传说么？ 桑相是否存在，我们不知道……”天岚梦摇了摇头。
“九颗流星，代表巫族出现了大巫公，那是一种超出了生命的形态，一种超出了我们所知的修为境界。”
天岚梦传出的声音于苏铭心神里轻柔，但那话语中蕴含的一丝恐惧，同样因在苏铭心神内回荡而清晰的被他感受。
“大巫公？” 苏铭转头看向天岚梦。
“你应该知道，在千年前我南晨蛮族三大强者战巫族大公，此战最终三大强者胜，但巫族的大巫公并未死亡，而是沉睡。
他是不死不灭的……如今，他苏醒了，所以，天岚城发出了九颗流星，通告天寒与海东二宗。” 天岚梦咬着下唇，轻声传音。
苏铭双目瞳孔收缩，沉默了片刻后，缓缓开口。
“十颗呢？”
“在南晨大地上，从天岚城发出飞向天寒与海东的流星，九颗已经是极限了，在我的记忆里，从天岚城修建开始，从未出现过十颗流星……如今，是第一次！”
天岚梦的面色发白，喃喃着。 “如果按照推理，五颗为大灾，八颗为南晨蛮族有灭族之祸，九颗代表巫族气势达到了最巅峰……那么十颗，或许就是……”天岚梦说道这里，言语一顿，似在考虑如何开口之时，苏铭在旁，轻轻的说了一句话。
“南晨陨落……”苏铭的这句话在传出后，天岚梦的身子蓦然颤了一下，她的面色完全煞白，许久，苦涩的点了点头。
“到底会发生什么样的事情，可以造成这南晨大地的陨落？”
苏铭有些无法置信，他想不明白，这世间有什么力量，可以做到如此恐怖的事情。
可他做不到，不代表没有人可以做到，二代蛮神与外域仙族的一战，不就是让蛮族大地分裂了么……”天岚梦轻声说道。
“还记得我方才和你说的桑相么……”天岚梦看着苏铭，苏铭能清楚的看到，天岚梦目中的恐惧。
“桑相第一次扇动翅膀，会引起东方大地的山崩地裂……”苏铭沉声回答。
“东方大地，代表东荒大陆。 蛮族五块大陆之间，存在了似洋非洋，如墨非墨，若血非血的无尽死海……无人可以从这死海穿过。
五块大陆，自从分裂之后，就彼此间失去了音信，如被阻断一样。” 天岚梦的声音在苏铭心神里回荡着。
“如果有一天，这片死海蔓延而来，如海啸那样将整个南晨大地淹没，到了那个时候，有多少人可以存活……”天岚梦低下了头。
“或许，能活下来的还是会有，但如果在南晨被淹没之时，还发生了山崩地裂的变化，整个南晨大地粉碎……那么到了那个时候，还会有几人存活……你我能么？” 天岚梦闭上了眼。
可与东荒大陆有何关联？” 苏铭心神震动，呼吸有了急促，他的脑中隐隐浮现出了一个让他觉得难以置信的念头。
“死海不会无缘无故的蔓延，它存在了万古岁月，若无因，不会变。”
“除非是有一种力量去推动这片无尽的死海，让它们如海洋一般掀起大浪……”苏铭喃喃。
“你听到了东荒之灾这四个字，没有听到前面的话语，前面家祖的声音里，曾说南晨之东，属于巫族的范围内，在那靠近死海的边缘大地上，有超过万丈的范围，已经被死海淹没……这是在南晨大地上，第一次出现这样的变化，也正是这个变化，导致了巫族的慌乱与提前的进攻天岚壁障。
死海不会无因的蔓延，它之所以会蔓延，是因为东荒大陆，这距离南晨极为遥远的大陆，正在以一种无法想象的速度……推动着死海，向着南晨大地移动。”
天岚梦终于说出了，这本天岚城通告所有蛮魂境，但却禁制外散的秘密！ ！
“东荒与南晨的撞击……”苏铭倒吸口气，他明白了，但他还是无法去想象，一块庞大的大陆，是如何能高速移动。
“或许一年，或许十年，或许不到十年……终有一天，当东荒大陆在这极速的状态下，与南晨大地相互碰撞之时，你说，南晨会如何？
根据古老的地图显示，东荒大地的范围，是南晨的数倍……”天岚梦望着苏铭，目中有了绝望。
苏铭身子一颤，闭上了眼，他依稀间似可以想象出来，当这一大一小两块大陆在那种无法形容的速度下，相互撞击到一起的刹那，发生的恐怖之事。
“首先，南晨大地东方的边缘，会在瞬间粉碎，这粉碎会因东荒的撞击之力而持续蔓延，这股蔓延会在很短的时间，波及天岚壁障……然后，天岚壁障会崩溃，蛮族的大地会随之粉碎……即便是逃到了最西方，也难以避开这毁灭的命运。
当大地粉碎倾斜之时，随着东荒来临的死海，会淹没一切……或许会有一些人活着，他们脚下的大地成为了碎片，在某一个碎片上，在无尽的死海中如岛屿，继续存活下去……但显然，在边缘的地方，是很难达到如此机遇的，尤其是在这撞击之下，南晨大地必定也会承受了这股力量后，向着西方移动……到了那个时候，南晨的西方，还有他所有边缘的位置，都会成为最惨烈的地方。
而巫族生活的地方，就是南晨的外围……为了活命，你可以想象得到，这一次的天岚之战，将会达到何种的惨烈……巫族要踏入天岚壁障内，要占据这南晨大地的正中心，只有在那里，或许他们可以在这劫难来临时，保持种族的延续。
“况且，没有人可以确定，到底在这核心部位，什么地方才是最终会安全的，若没有巫族，蛮族可以分散开，总会有延续的可能，但若是选择出了错误，把安全的地方给了巫族……”天岚梦声音越来越低弱，到了最后，化作了沉默。
“东荒之灾……”苏铭面色有了苍白，这一切超出了他的想象，甚至于此刻听到了真相后，他依旧有些无法置信。
同样的，他也立刻就知道，此事为何不能告诉所有人，一旦如此……那么将会引起一场无法想象的人祸……“桑相。”
苏铭记住了这个名字，尽管他知道这是传说，一个或许，巧合的传说。
“此事隐瞒不了太久，随着时间的流逝，慢慢会有越来越多的人知晓。” 苏铭传出话语，声音于天岚梦的心中，化作了沉重。
“在这场灾难中，会有很多人死去……我们生在了这个时间了，没有选择。” 天岚梦站起身，站在那剑的边缘，目光有了深邃。
“好在，我们不孤独……”天岚梦侧头，美丽的双眸看向了苏铭，在她的双目里，闪动着奇异的光芒。
苏铭，望着剑外的天空，沉默。

323 Harmonious Morus Alba’s Wings!
Su Ming looked at Tian Lan Meng calmly. Their gazes met not too far away from each other on the edge of the 10,000 feet sword.
Tian Lan Meng remained silent for a moment before she opened her mouth and said, "I don’t know what you’re talking about…"
"Why do you find the need to hide it from me?" Su Ming frowned, then turned around to look at the blue sky beyond Frozen Sky.
Tian Lan Meng hesitated for a moment, looking as if she wanted to say something, but hesitated.
"How did you learn of the Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands?" After a long while, her gaze fell on Su Ming’s face and she asked him in his mind.
It was not quiet around them. There were low whispers occasionally appearing in the air, but the sword was too huge and there were 10,000 people sitting on it. That’s why if the people were further away from each other, they would not be able to hear what the other was saying clearly. The loud whistling sounds from the sword as it sliced through the air also drowned out voices.
"When the ten shooting stars appeared, I heard some of what they said." Su Ming did not hide anything because he had to know the truth. In his mind, this piece of information that was only privy to those in the Berserker Soul Realm was very important. It might even affect some of his actions in the land of the Shamans.
Tian Lan Meng averted her gaze and looked at the sky beyond the sword. After a long while, she spoke gently.
Su Ming was taken aback for a moment then shook his head. He did not speak.
"Harmonious Morus Alba is a butterfly of legend. It will only flap its wings three times in its life… The first time it flaps its wings, it will cause the mountains to crumble and the earth to shatter in the east," said Tian Lan Meng softly, looking at the sky beyond the sword.
"It’s just a legend," Su Ming retorted.
"A legend, hmm..? Right now, in our world, no one has ever seen the first God of Berserkers, but could you say that the first God of Berserkers is also a legend? We don’t know whether the Harmonious Morus Alba exists…" Tian Lan Meng shook her head.
"Nine shooting stars mean that the Great Patriarch has appeared within the Shaman Tribe. That is an entity that exceeds all life forms, a thing that exceeds what we can understand with our Realms of cultivation."
Tian Lan Meng’s voice in Su Ming’s head was gentle, but there was a hint of fear within her words. Su Ming could clearly feel her fear as her voice reverberated in his mind.
"Great Patriarch?" Su Ming turned around and looked at Tian Lan Meng.
"You should know that the great Berserkers of the Land of South Morning fought against the Great Patriarch thousands of years ago. The three great Berserkers won in the end, but the Great Patriarch did not die. He simply went into deep sleep.
"He is an indestructible entity… Now, he woke up again. That is why Sky Mist City sent out those nine shooting stars to tell Freezing Sky Clan and Western Sea Clan." Tian Lan Meng bit her bottom lip and spoke gently in his head.
Su Ming’s pupils shrank. He remained silent for some time before he asked.
"What about ten shooting stars?"
"In the Land of South Morning, nine shooting stars should have been the limit of what Sky Mist City can send to Freezing Sky and Western Sea. From what I can remember, ever since Sky Mist City was formed, they have never sent out ten shooting stars…
"Today is the first time they did so," Tian Lan Meng’s face was stark white as she mumbled under her breath. "By logic, five shooting stars mean a great disaster, eight shooting stars mean that the Berserkers of the Land of South Morning are faced with the threat of annihilation, nine shooting stars mean that the Shaman Tribe’s power has reached its peak… Then ten shooting stars might mean…" Once Tian Lan Meng spoke to that point, she stopped, and when she put on a look as if she was thinking about how she should phrase her next sentence. Su Ming softly spoke beside her.
"South Morning will fall…" Once Su Ming said those words in her mind, Tian Lan Meng shuddered and her face turned stark white. After a long while, she nodded her head bitterly.
"Just what sort of thing could cause the Land of South Morning to fall?" Su Ming found it a little hard to believe that idea. He simply could not fathom what sort of power could possibly exist in the world that could do such a terrifying thing.
"If the Great Patriarch truly possesses such power, then there’s no need to fight in this battle," Su Ming said in her head, his voice low.
"He might have such incredible power that it exceeds our understanding, but… he can’t do that. Still, even if he can’t do it, it doesn’t mean that no one else can. Didn’t the battle between the second God of Berserker and the Immortals from the other worlds divide the continents of the land of Berserkers..?" Tian Lan Meng said softly.
"Do you still remember me mentioning the Harmonious Morus Alba..?" Tian Lan Meng looked at Su Ming, and he could clearly see the fear in her eyes.
"The first time the Harmonious Morus Alba flaps her wings, it will cause the mountains to crumble and the earth to shatter in the east…" answered Su Ming.
"The eastern continent is the Eastern Wastelands. Between the five continents belonging to the Berserkers is the endless Dead Sea that is filled with water that looks like an ocean but is not an ocean, looks like ink but is not ink, and looks like blood but is not blood... No one can pass through the Dead Sea.
"Ever since the five continents were separated, we lost all contact with each other. It’s as if our messages were intercepted." Tian Lan Meng’s voice echoed in Su Ming’s head.
"If someday, the Dead Sea extends to our lands like a tidal wave that drowns out the entire Land of South Morning, at that time, how many people would be able to survive…?" Tian Lan Meng dipped her head down.
"Perhaps there would be some who would survive, but when the Land of South Morning is flooded, the mountains crumble and the earth shatter, and the entire Land of South Morning is destroyed… at that time, how many people would survive..? Will the both of us survive?" Tian Lan Meng closed her eyes.
"That’s the Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands? Is it connected to the Eastern Wastelands?" Su Ming was shocked to the core. His breathing quickened, and a thought that to him was ridiculous gradually appeared in his mind.
"The Dead Sea won’t expand without reason. It has existed since forever. It won’t change without reason." Tian Lan Meng remained silent for some time before she spoke bitterly.
"Unless there is a power that could move that endless Dead Sea and make its waters surge like the waves in the sea…" Su Ming mumbled.
"You heard the words the Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands, but you didn’t hear what was spoken before them. My ancestor mentioned that more than 10,000 feet of the area close in the eastern part of South Morning, which belongs to the Shamans, has been flooded by the Dead Sea… "This is the first time such a thing has happened in the Land of South Morning. It is also precisely this change that prompted the Shamans to panic and attack Sky Mist Barrier before the promised date.
"The Dead Sea won’t grow bigger for no reason. It would only grow bigger because the Eastern Wastelands, a continent that is located really far away from the South Morning, is pushing the Dead Sea towards the Land of South Morning… at an inconceivable speed."
Tian Lan Meng finally told Su Ming the secret. The secret from Sky Mist City that was originally only privy to those in the Berserker Soul Realm, and the one they had been forbidden to spread to others!
"Eastern Wastelands and South Morning crashing into each other..." Su Ming sucked in a sharp breath. He understood what was going on now, but he still could not imagine how such a huge continent could move at such a high speed.
"Perhaps it’ll take one year, perhaps ten, or perhaps less than that… but eventually, when Eastern Wastelands crashes into the Land of South Morning at that high speed it’s traveling now, what do you think will happen to South Morning?
"From what the ancient maps tell us, the mass of land belonging to the Eastern Wastelands is several times the size of South Morning’s…" Tian Lan Meng stared at Su Ming, and despair appeared in her eyes.
Su Ming shuddered and closed his eyes. He could somewhat imagine the horrors that would happen the instant two continents of different sizes, one big and the other small, crashed into each other at an indescribable speed.
"First, the edge to the east of the Land of South Morning would instantly shatter, and the impact that caused the land to shatter would continuously spread out. In a very short amount of time, that crack would extend to Sky Mist Barrier… "Then, Sky Mist Barrier would crumble and the land of Berserkers would be destroyed along with it… Even if we escape to the westernmost part of the land, it’ll still be difficult for us to escape the fate of being destroyed.
"When the continent crumbles and tilts to the side, the part of the Dead Sea that came with the Eastern Wastelands will drown out everything… Perhaps some of us will survive. When the land under our feet has turned into pieces, we will continue living on one of the pieces as if it was an island floating in the endless Dead Sea… "But it’s clear that it’s very difficult to find such an opportunity when you live close to the borders, and especially once they knock into our land, the Land of South Morning will definitely start moving west… At that time, the west part of South Morning and all its coasts will suffer the worst damage.
"And the Shamans live at the outer parts of South Morning… For the sake of their survival, you can surely imagine just how devastating the Sky Mist Shaman Hunt this time will be… "The Shamans want to invade Sky Mist Barrier and occupy the center of the Land of South Morning. Only if they stay there can they have a hope that their race can survive through the disaster when it comes.
"And it stands that no one can be certain which part of the center of South Morning will remain safe till the end. If the Shamans aren’t around, then the Berserkers can spread out, and the possibility of us continuing our line will surely exist, no matter how small, but once we make the wrong choice and give up the safe place to the Shamans…" Tian Lan Meng’s voice became weaker until she eventually fell silent.
"The Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands…" Su Ming’s face turned pale. All of this surpassed his imaginations. In fact, even if he heard the truth now, he still found it a little hard to believe all of it.
Yet at the same time, he also instantly understood why the information could not be shared with everyone. Once that happened… it would definitely bring about an unimaginable disaster brought by human hands…
"Harmonious Morus Alba." Su Ming committed that name to memory even though he knew that this was a legend, a legend that just might be coincidental to what was happening now.
"You won’t be able to hide this for too long. As time passes by, more and more people will know about it." Su Ming sent his message to Tian Lan Meng, and his voice was solemn in her heart.
"During this disaster, many people will die… We live in this day and age, and we have no choice." Tian Lan Meng stood up and went to stand at the edge of the sword as a profound look appeared in her eyes.
"Thank goodness we’re not alone…" Tian Lan Meng turned her head to the side and looked at Su Ming with her beautiful eyes. There was a strange light flickering within them.
Su Ming stared at the sky beyond the sword and did not say a word.

Your treating her like this is making the family lose our face!”\nChen Rong wrinkled her brow upon hearing these words. She lightly sneered and said to Old Shang: “Old Shang, slow down.”\nWhen her carriage stopped, the griping voice ahead was still ringing out: “I don’t know what father is thinking. If you ask me, Chen Rong is only fit to be your concubine. Marry her as a wife? Hmph, she is not worthy!”\nAt those last few words, Chen Rong’s black, bottomless eyes flashed a cold chill.\nBut she instantly concealed her emotions and lightly commanded her retainer: “There’s no need to go anymore. Let’s turn around.”\nAs a servant, Old Shang understood the 7th lady’s words even better than Chen Rong. He nodded right away and drove the carriage off.\nWang Wulang was lowering his voice to answer. When he raised his head and saw Chen Rong’s carriage turning around, he hastened to call: “Ah Rong, Ah Rong, why are you turning back?”\nChen Rong did not answer him.\nWang Wulang frowned. As he was about to chase after her, another youngster protested: “Fifth brother, don’t chase her. You can’t indulge her like this.”\nWang Wulang gave some thought and then slowly raised his hand, motioning the carriage to stop.\nChen Rong had just returned to the middle of the cavalcade when she heard a burst of noisy commotion ahead.\nShe lifted her curtain and looked outside.\nBefore she could see what was happening, Old Shang, who was squinting to look ahead, gave a cry: “Miss, it’s Wang Qilang’s troop! I can’t believe we get to meet him here!”\nImmense joy was heard in Old Shang’s voice.\nWang Qilang?\nShe unconsciously recalled his handsome figure in her mind. She drew her curtain and tilted her head to look.\nA very large troop came into sight. It was not any smaller than the group she had joined. From the waving flags, she could tell that in addition to Qilang of the Wang house – Wang Hong – the team also included people from the Yu house.\nNo wonder Old Shang was so happy. Now that both teams had met up, they would be much safer!\n“Old Shang, let’s go up to them,” Chen Rong said, staring at the dusty smoke rising ahead.\n“Aye, miss.”\nNo one noticed Chen Rong’s arrival. All Wang youngsters were rushing out. In an instant, there was a group of fifty to sixty persons between the two teams. And everyone in this group was handsomely dressed to match their fine-looking faces.\nIn addition to about two dozen members of the Wang house, Chen Rong had never met the rest before. She reckoned they must be members of the Yu house.\nThese people formed a circle as they talked and laughed, trapping the two men within. At a glance, Chen Rong could see the 7th son of the Wang house, Wang Hong, standing out like a heavenly existence in the crowd.\nNext to Wang Hong was another man with extraordinary bearing, but at this distance her line of sight was blocked, and Chen Rong could not make his face out.\nAs Chen Rong was watching them, a sigh came floating next to her: “I heard that whenever members of the Wang house of Lang’ya (1) gather, people would sigh ‘like gems and pearls’. Now as I watch these youngsters, somehow I feel ashamed and foul.”\nQilang belongs to the larger Wang clan, but his branch hails from Lang’ya, hence he is also sometimes known as Lang’ya Wang Qi. I assume this is one of the more influential, if not the primary branch of the Wang clan.\nThe speaker was the middle-aged scholar who was often seen accompanying Wang Zhuo. Although he was of gentry background, his family name was on the lower rung of high society. After he had finished speaking, he turned to look at Chen Rong, who was sitting inside her carriage and lamented: “I fear only you can understand my lamentation.”\nEven though Chen was an exceptionally distinguished house, Chen Rong’s father was a concubine-born son of a subsidiary branch. She, too, was concubine-born. They could be said to be of a lower class among the nobility. This was the reason why the middle-aged scholar had lamented thus.\nChen Rong made no answer, but when she gazed to the Yu and Wang youngsters, her eyes were remarkably clear and bright, betraying neither shame nor foulness. After the scholar carefully regarded her for a while, he suddenly offered: “Miss, your looks and knowledge are both superior compared to ordinary people. No wonder you don’t share my feelings.” He briefly paused and then could not help himself from adding: “Unfortunately, your background is still too humble.”"

第十二章
一个中年人皱着眉头回道：“可她毕竟是分支的庶女，其父又是庶子。”
王卓摇了摇头，他没有说话，心中却在暗暗想道：陈容出身是低微，可经过这两次的事，她在士族中必然名声大振。 再说，如果我王家的儿郎娶到了她，岂不是说，她这一路上的表现，只是说明我王家媳妇特别灵慧？
王卓想到这里，心中一跳，不由细细地思量起这件事来。
那中年人想了想，又说道：“若是为妾，怕她又不愿意。”
王卓点了点头，忖道：可惜可惜，她那父亲不在此处，这婚姻大事，还得到了南方再定。
当天晚上，派出探路的王家仆役回来了，他们说，从路人口中得知，前去百里便有水源了。
这个消息令得王家人精神大振。
饶是如此，渴得厉害的人和马，足足走到半夜，才走出五十里。
这一次，凌晨的露珠不但马抢着吃，人也开始吃了。 当然，王氏众人有陈容那半桶水撑着，还不会沦落到趴在草地上舔露水。
这样做的，只有车队中的仆役护卫。
第三天，月上中天时，众人终于看到前方出现了一片绿色，侧耳细听，甚至能听到一片哗哗的水声。
听到这水声，车队中陡然响起一片欢呼声。
这一晚，那欢呼声一直没有断绝。 直到天明，还有不少人泡在河水中舍不得起来。
太阳再次挂在了东方。
踏着绿色犹存的道路，倾听着树丛中不时传来的啾啾鸟声，所有的人，都有再世为人的惊喜。
这一刻，众王氏子弟也明显成熟了，他们不再抱怨，并为了那天空飞翔的群鸟而高声欢笑。
“阿容阿容，过来过来。” 王五郎远远地便朝陈容挥着手，他那双细长的眼睛中，精光闪动。
自昨日见过王公后，陈容便发现，这王家五郎对自己的态度明显热情多了。 他看向自己的目光中，总闪动着一缕说不清道不明的异彩。
陈容朝着王五郎点了点头，示意马车驶近。
因此，这时刻王五郎邀请陈容同行，只是一件稀疏平常的事。
陈容刚刚靠近，便听到一个王氏七女地埋怨声传来，“五哥，那陈容不过是庶女，她怎么配得上你？ 你这般对她，着实丢了我王氏的脸！
陈容一听，皱眉大皱，她低低冷笑一声，对尚叟说道：“叟，且慢行。”
“是。” 她的马车停下时，前方的埋怨声还在传来，“也不知父亲是怎么想的，依我看来，这陈容只配做五哥你的妾室。 娶她为妻，哼，她配么？”
最后几字一出，陈容黑不见底，宛如夜空的双眸中，闪过一抹冷煞。
不过很快，她便把这抹情绪给掩藏起来，她低低地喝道：“不要去了，我们回吧。”
尚叟是有功夫的人，王氏七女的话，他比陈容还要听得清切。 当下他重重点了点头，驱赶着马车果断地返回。
王五郎在低声回答了几句后，头一抬，便看到陈容回返的马车，他连忙声音一提，大声叫道：“阿容，阿容，怎地退回了？”
陈容没有回答。
王五郎皱了皱眉，他刚刚准备追出，一个少年在旁叫道：“五哥，别追了。 你不可纵容了她。”
王五郎寻思了一然，慢慢地伸出手，示意马车停下。
陈容刚刚退回车队中间，便听到前面传来了一阵喧嚣笑闹声。
她掀开车帘，向外看去。
不等她看明白，眯着眼睛瞅着前方的尚叟便大声叫道：“女郎，是王家七郎的车队！ 我们居然与他遇上了！”
尚叟的声音中，含着无比的惊喜。
王家七郎？
掀开车帘，昂头瞅去。
出现在她视野中的，是一只浩大的队伍，那队伍的阵势，一点也不输于陈容这支。 从那飘扬的旗帜看去，可以知道，那队伍中除了王氏七郎王弘外，还有姓瘐的。
怪不得尚叟如此欢喜了，两支队伍这么一会合，他们安全无虞了！
陈容盯着那烟尘高举的前方，说道：“尚叟，我们上前去。”
这一次，没有任何人注意到陈容地到来。
所有的王氏子弟，都一窝蜂地冲了上去。 不一会，两支车队的中间，出现了足有五六十人的队伍，这一支队伍，人人衣履光鲜，个个面目清秀。
这些人中，除了那二十几个王氏子弟外，另外二十几个，都是陈容不曾见过的，想来应该是瘐氏子弟。
这些人围成一圈，谈谈笑笑中，把两个人筹拥其中。 陈容只是一眼，便看到了人群当中，鹤立鸡群，宛如神仙般的王氏七郎王弘。
在王弘的旁边，另有一个气度殊为不凡的青年，不过隔了这么远，视线又被遮拦，陈容看不清那青年的容貌。
正当陈容向他们打量时，她的身边，传来一个感慨声，“听说琅琊王家的本族子弟聚在一起时，时人曾叹息说：琳琅珠玉。 现在我看到了这些少年子弟，不知怎地，竟有自形惭秽之感。
说话的是那个经常陪在王卓身边的中年文士，他虽然也是士人出身，其姓氏却是士族中的下品。
他说完话后，转头看向马车中的陈容，叹道：“我这番感慨，恐怕只有你这个女人能明白。”
陈容的姓氏虽然尊贵之极，可她的父亲是支族庶子，她自身更是庶女，也可以说是士族中的下品人物，因此这中年文士有此感慨。 陈容没有回答。
只是她看向瘐氏和王氏子弟时，那目光清明之极，根本没有半点自形惭秽之色。 中年文士细细地审量了她一阵后，突然说道：“女郎容貌见识都超过常人，怪不得没有我这番感慨。” 顿了顿，他忍不住还是补充了一句，“奈何，出身太低。”

Chapter 12: Escape
A middle-aged man frowned in reply. “But she is, after all, a concubine-born daughter of a subsidiary branch; her father is also concubine-born.”
Wang Zhuo shook his head. He did not speak, but he was quietly thinking to himself that: Though Chen Rong is lowly born, she will inevitably become known to the nobles in the wake of these two incidents. Furthermore, if she married into the Wang house, what happened would not be her feat to boast. The honor would belong to the exceptionally clever daughter-in-law of the Wang house. Then, our reputation would no longer be undermined, no?
Wang Zhuo began to feel a little anxious and could not help but carefully consider the matter.
“But if you make her a concubine, I’m afraid she won’t agree,” the middle-aged man offered after some thought.
Wang Zhuo nodded while thinking again to himself: Pity that her father is not here. This marriage will have to wait until we arrive in the south to be decided.
In the evening, the scouts sent by the House of Wang returned and reported that from what passers-by had told them, they would be able to find water if they went a hundred miles more.
This news lifted the Wang family’s spirit and the team hurried on.
Even so, both men and horses were parched. They had only gone fifty miles though they had traveled through the night.
The early morning dew was no longer for only horses. People also began to slurp up what they could. Of course, the Wangs had Chen Rong’s half-full barrel and were not reduced to lying on the grass to lick morning dew. Doing so were only the servants and guards.
This translation belongs to hamster428.
By the time the moon emerged on the third day, they finally came across a patch of green, and when they listened, they could hear the sound of rushing water.
The cavalcade abruptly burst into cheers. Ecstatic, they drove the carriages ahead without waiting to be told.
The cheers did not cease this evening. Many were reluctant to leave their soaking spots in the river all the way until dawn.
The sun once again climbed high.
As they marched on the green road and listened to the chirping of birds coming from the trees from time to time, each of them reveled in the miracle of being alive again.
By now, the Wang youngsters had also matured; they did not complain about the birds in the sky and instead laughed in delight.
“Ah Rong, come over here.” Wang Wulang waved to her from afar; a light glinted in his elongated eyes.
Since she met with Sir Wang yesterday, Chen Rong found that Wang Wulang’s attitude toward her had begun to contain more apparent enthusiasm. The gaze he directed at her would always be accompanied by a strange gleam she did not quite understand.
Chen Rong nodded in Wang Wulang’s direction, indicating for her carriage to head that way.
Wang Wulang’s inviting Chen Rong to accompany him was thus as ordinary as it could be.
Chen Rong had barely drawn near when she heard the irritable voice of the 7th lady: “Fifth brother, that Chen Rong is only a concubine-born daughter, how is she worthy of you? Your treating her like this is making the family lose our face!”
Chen Rong wrinkled her brow upon hearing these words. She lightly sneered and said to Old Shang: “Old Shang, slow down.”
When her carriage stopped, the griping voice ahead was still ringing out: “I don’t know what father is thinking. If you ask me, Chen Rong is only fit to be your concubine. Marry her as a wife? Hmph, she is not worthy!”
At those last few words, Chen Rong’s black, bottomless eyes flashed a cold chill.
But she instantly concealed her emotions and lightly commanded her retainer: “There’s no need to go anymore. Let’s turn around.”
As a servant, Old Shang understood the 7th lady’s words even better than Chen Rong. He nodded right away and drove the carriage off.
Wang Wulang was lowering his voice to answer. When he raised his head and saw Chen Rong’s carriage turning around, he hastened to call: “Ah Rong, Ah Rong, why are you turning back?”
Chen Rong did not answer him.
Wang Wulang frowned. As he was about to chase after her, another youngster protested: “Fifth brother, don’t chase her. You can’t indulge her like this.”
Wang Wulang gave some thought and then slowly raised his hand, motioning the carriage to stop.
Chen Rong had just returned to the middle of the cavalcade when she heard a burst of noisy commotion ahead.
She lifted her curtain and looked outside.
Before she could see what was happening, Old Shang, who was squinting to look ahead, gave a cry: “Miss, it’s Wang Qilang’s troop! I can’t believe we get to meet him here!”
Immense joy was heard in Old Shang’s voice.
Wang Qilang?
She unconsciously recalled his handsome figure in her mind. She drew her curtain and tilted her head to look.
A very large troop came into sight. It was not any smaller than the group she had joined. From the waving flags, she could tell that in addition to Qilang of the Wang house – Wang Hong – the team also included people from the Yu house.
No wonder Old Shang was so happy. Now that both teams had met up, they would be much safer!
“Old Shang, let’s go up to them,” Chen Rong said, staring at the dusty smoke rising ahead.
“Aye, miss.”
No one noticed Chen Rong’s arrival. All Wang youngsters were rushing out. In an instant, there was a group of fifty to sixty persons between the two teams. And everyone in this group was handsomely dressed to match their fine-looking faces.
In addition to about two dozen members of the Wang house, Chen Rong had never met the rest before. She reckoned they must be members of the Yu house.
These people formed a circle as they talked and laughed, trapping the two men within. At a glance, Chen Rong could see the 7th son of the Wang house, Wang Hong, standing out like a heavenly existence in the crowd.
Next to Wang Hong was another man with extraordinary bearing, but at this distance her line of sight was blocked, and Chen Rong could not make his face out.
As Chen Rong was watching them, a sigh came floating next to her: “I heard that whenever members of the Wang house of Lang’ya (1) gather, people would sigh ‘like gems and pearls’. Now as I watch these youngsters, somehow I feel ashamed and foul.”
Qilang belongs to the larger Wang clan, but his branch hails from Lang’ya, hence he is also sometimes known as Lang’ya Wang Qi. I assume this is one of the more influential, if not the primary branch of the Wang clan.
The speaker was the middle-aged scholar who was often seen accompanying Wang Zhuo. Although he was of gentry background, his family name was on the lower rung of high society. After he had finished speaking, he turned to look at Chen Rong, who was sitting inside her carriage and lamented: “I fear only you can understand my lamentation.”
Even though Chen was an exceptionally distinguished house, Chen Rong’s father was a concubine-born son of a subsidiary branch. She, too, was concubine-born. They could be said to be of a lower class among the nobility. This was the reason why the middle-aged scholar had lamented thus.
Chen Rong made no answer, but when she gazed to the Yu and Wang youngsters, her eyes were remarkably clear and bright, betraying neither shame nor foulness. After the scholar carefully regarded her for a while, he suddenly offered: “Miss, your looks and knowledge are both superior compared to ordinary people. No wonder you don’t share my feelings.” He briefly paused and then could not help himself from adding: “Unfortunately, your background is still too humble.”

"value": "Translate the following source text from Chinese into English.\nChinese: 第313章、护短？\n最后一天，有月票的支持一下本书，谢谢了。\n爱你们。\n狗屁自己调整身体站稳，到了这时，沙本明明白了过来。\n自己就是被卫小北丢出来的，但其手法之巧妙，却让沙本明惊骇，居然能够让自己稳稳落在地上。 光这一手功夫，沙本明就感觉自己有些斯巴达了。\n自己就连怎么做都不知道。\n这实力相差也太远了吧？\n卫小北出手一招就将沙本明给丢了出去，说实话，看上去还是挺让人震撼的。\n可问题是看到沙本明平安落地，下面的人想法就有些不同了。\n他们认为卫小北也就是抓住了沙本明的破绽，才能够做到这些，没看到沙本明都能够轻易落地站稳么？\n就这一点说明，沙本明比卫小北也弱不了太多。\n自己只要小心一点，不让对方抓住机会，那么胜利的机会还是很大的。\n基于这种思路，当即便有两个内门弟子争先恐后企图上台，相互之间不愿意退让。\n这样的场景让李昆阳看到之后，不由得皱了皱眉头，寻思自己对这些徒弟是不是太过于宽松了一点。\n好吧，李昆阳决定了，等卫小北离开之后，所有内门弟子每天加练两个小时，免得他们还有心思争斗这些。\n“别争了，你们两个一起上来吧？”\n卫小北在擂台上站了一会。 都有些无聊了，下面李昆阳的两个弟子还在争执之中。\n卫小北感觉自己是好心。 可那两个内门弟子却感觉自己受到了侮辱。\n就算卫小北比自己厉害，两个打一个？ 传出去，那脸皮都丢出法国了。\n犹豫一会之后，两人索性采取了最古老的决胜方法，石头剪刀布。 这个方法虽说古老，但的确有效，就两下，个头略高一点的弟子就取胜了，得意洋洋的翻上了擂台。\n“形意武馆弟子张天礼向卫师叔讨教。”\n不管在下面表现得多么差劲，这张天礼上了擂台，看上去还算有点礼貌。\n但接下来，擂台上就没了动静。\n卫小北自持师叔身份，不愿意主动进攻，而那张天礼则极为谨慎，之前那个本沙明的遭遇，他在台下是看得清楚明白。\n主动出击完全就是找死，还不如以静制动。\n结果，他就站在原地与卫小北给耗上了。\n至少没有发起任何攻击，只是企图围着卫小北转圈，想要找到卫小北的破绽。\n这让卫小北看得有些无语了。\n你练的是形意拳，不是游龙八卦掌啊。 当然。\n这也不能说张天礼的对策错误了。\n相对于那个本沙明而言，张天礼的确在擂台上多站了一会。\n但卫小北也等得有些无聊了。 便朝着张天礼前进一步。\n就这一步，便让精神紧张得快要崩断的张天礼骤然动了，一个健步犹如猛虎下山，便朝着卫小北冲了过去。\n卫小北对张天礼的观感要比那个本沙明好多了，因而也没有直接一把将其抓住丢出，任由其攻击，随手抵挡，一路后退。\n几拳打出，眼见卫小北被自己打得不断后退，最终被逼到了擂台角落处，张天礼随即变得信心十足，出拳越发猛烈，想要将卫小北几拳就打落擂台。\n卫小北也就是让让罢了，真要是让对方将自己打落擂台，他是决计不肯的。\n现在的年轻人啊，完全不知道什么叫做得寸进尺，这张天礼的心思，卫小北如何不知，无非就是想要将自己当成梯子，垫脚石，成就自己的名气。\n卫小北虽说不在乎这点名气，当然他认为自己也没有什么名气，但如果就这样被晚辈落了面子，卫小北心头会极度不爽的。\n要知道，他来这形意武馆怎么说也算是客人。\n不得不说，李昆阳做生意不错，但在调教弟子上，还差着几分火候。\n想到这里，卫小北也不再退让，正面突破，右手化拳！ 三皇炮捶！\n拳如攻城捶，一拳打出！\n落在张天礼眼中，这一拳就好似放大了无数倍，几乎将自己尽数笼罩在里面。\n看到卫小北这一拳打出，周身所散发出来的气势，刚刚端起一杯清茶，准备喝上两口的李昆阳不由得急忙站了起来，口中惊呼：“拳势！”\n这所谓的拳势，乃是功夫到了一定深度之后，在与人搏斗之时，所表现出来的一种气势。\n这种东西很难具体描述出来，但与之对战的对手能够感受到，至于旁观之人里面，就是像李昆阳这样的国术高手隐约能够感受到，其余的人压根就不知道什么，只是看着李昆阳不顾茶水摔落站立起来有些吃惊罢了。\n嘭！\n一声轻响，张天礼连反应的时间都没有，就被卫小北一拳打飞了出去，转眼之间便摔落在人群之中，还好那些观战的多少都有点功夫，七手八脚的将张天礼给接住了。\n卫小北没有下重手，但这一拳也让那张天礼憋了气，脸色青紫，连连咳嗽好一阵子后方才缓过劲来。\n“卫师叔果然厉害，弟子张天礼服了。”\n张天礼此时算是被打掉了所有幻想，恢复过来之后，便朝着擂台上抱了抱拳。 之后垂头丧气的站在擂台下，不知道在想些什么。\n“形意武馆特鲁克洛斯向卫师叔讨教！ 请求指点！”\n这时一个金发碧眼白皮肤的年轻小伙爬上了擂台。 朝着卫小北抱了抱拳。\n可卫小北从将张天礼打下擂台之后，卫小北就双目紧闭。 站在那里全身不动了。\n之前那一拳打出，卫小北就感觉自己这一拳与以前有些不太一样。\n并不是说三皇炮捶与八极拳之间的不同，这种不同很难用语言描述出来。\n简单来说，这一拳打出之后，卫小北感觉四周一切都被自己纳入了掌控之中，自己轻轻一碰，那张天礼就飞了出去，这所有一切，自己都能够精细掌控。\n对于卫小北而言。 这种感觉很舒服，从没有出现过。\n如此，卫小北在收拳之后，便仔细体味这种感觉，企图将其完全掌握。\n那个什么特鲁克洛斯翻上了擂台，卫小北压根就没心思去理会他。\n可偏偏这小子见卫小北站在原地不动，双眼紧闭，还以为卫小北在之前与张天礼的打斗里受了伤，一时贪婪心起。 试探着一拳朝着卫小北打了过来。\n这特鲁克洛斯乃是李昆阳的十二弟子。\n李昆阳看到这小子不知轻重，就是一拳朝着卫小北打去，不由得轻叹一声，自己收的弟子没有一个能够比得上程必武。\n不过在这之前，让他们吃吃苦头也好。 这个念头刚刚浮现出来，那特鲁克洛斯连反应的时间都没有。\n就好似一只保龄球被打飞了出去，转眼之间。 嘭一声就撞在了演武场的墙壁上，随即反弹数米之后摔落在地面上。\n众人顿时哗然。 这个擂台距离墙壁足足有三十米！\n虽说他们之前完全没有看见特鲁克洛斯是怎么被卫小北击中的，但不管是拳还是脚，能够一下将人击飞三十米，这显然有些恐怖了。\n倒是李昆阳看清楚了一点，那特鲁克洛斯一拳打过去的时候，卫小北压根就没有睁眼，右手化掌，在特鲁克洛斯胸口上轻轻一贴一收，特鲁克洛斯就飞了出去。 好强大的力量，好精妙的技巧。\n李昆阳不由得在心头感叹，这个卫小北至少是化劲以上层次了，这一点，李昆阳自认不会认错，心头随即一股炽热的战斗**便浮现了出来。\n那特鲁克洛斯被卫小北轻轻一掌击飞之后，就再也没有一个人敢上去与卫小北挑战了。\n那个特鲁克洛斯经过检查之后，倒也没有受太大的伤害，只是巨大的冲击力将其撞晕了过去，肋骨断了两根罢了。\n对于学武之人而言，磕磕碰碰，在实战演练之中断两条肋骨，再正常不过了。\n李昆阳让人将特鲁克洛斯送往医院之后，便来到擂台边，轻轻一按擂台，一跃而上。\n相对于那些千方百计想要上擂台时，表现得更厉害的弟子，李昆阳倒是比较坦然。\n上了擂台，李昆阳朝着卫小北抱了抱拳。\n可卫小北心头却有点不太爽，之前那个特鲁克诺斯上来正好打断了自己的思路。\n“李师兄这是为何？”\n既然心头有点不爽，卫小北此时的语气就有些不太好了。\n李昆阳也有点尴尬，原本想让自己几个弟子上来试探一下卫小北的功夫底子，可没想到一个比一个不中用，完全就是被虐的对象。\n最要命的是，一个个没有自知之明，打不赢卫小北还企图占上一点便宜，这就更让人不耻了。\n说实话，李昆阳如果仅仅只是旁观者的话，估计对自己那几个弟子也是一脸的唾弃。\n可偏偏自己就是他们的师父。.\nEnglish:\n"

On the other hand, Zhang Tian Li was extremely cautious. He had clearly seen the misfortune Benjamin encountered while below the stage.\nIn his mind, taking the initiative to attack was courting death so he stayed inactive.\nIn the end, he had delayed the time as he stood on the spot.\nThirty seconds passed, and Zhang Tian Li had moved without making any attacks. He only circled around Wei Xiao Bei, trying to find an opening.\nThis made Wei Xiao Bei speechless.\nYou should have learned Xingyiquan and not Baguazhang, right?\nNaturally, this did not mean that Zhang Tian Li’s countermeasure was wrong.\nCompared to Benjamin, Zhang Tian Li ha truly stood on the stage for a longer time.\nHowever, Wei Xiao Bei was also quite bored, making him take a step forward towards Zhang Tian Li.\nThis single step caused Zhang Tian Li, who was nervous to the points of collapse, make a sudden move. He immediately strode forward like a tiger coming down the mountain as he charged at Wei Xiao Bei.\nWei Xiao Bei’s impression of Zhang Tian Li was a lot better than Benjamin. Thus, he did not immediately throw him out as he let him attack while he defended and retreated back step by step.\nAfter sending out a few fists and seeing that Wei Xiao Bei was continuously retreating to a corner, Zhang TIan Li became even more confident as his fists became even fiercer, wanting to send Wei Xiao Bei out the stage.\nWei Xiao Bei was only giving way. It was impossible for him to let his opponent send him out.\nYouths nowadays did not understand the meaning of ‘win an inch want a foot.’ How could Wei Xiao Bei not know Zhang Tian Li’s thoughts? He simply wanted to use Wei Xiao Bei as a stepping stone to increase his fame.\nAlthough Wei Xiao Bei did not care about this fame, and he even believed that he did not have this fame, he would still be incredibly displeased if he had let such a younger generation humiliate him.\nIt must be known that he was still a guest in the Xingyi Dojo.\nIt could be said that Li Kun Yang’s business was not bad, but in terms of disciples, they lacked maturity.\nThinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei stopped retreating, formed a fist with his right hand, and broke through from the front! Three Emperor Cannon Fist!\nHis fist was like a sledgehammer as it struck out.\nWhen the fist was in front of Zhang Tian Li’s eyes, it appeared to have expanded by countless times, as if he was enveloped by it.\nSeeing Wei Xiao Bei’s punch and the might that was coming out from his body, Li Kun Yang who had just picked up the teacup, immediately stood up and shouted, “Fist aura!”\nThis so-called fist aura was the might displayed by someone who had reached a deep profound martial understanding when fighting.\nThis thing was very hard to describe, but the enemy would be able to feel it. As for those on the side, only Guo Shu experts like Li Kun Yang could faintly feel it. Other people would simply be unable to feel it at all, causing them to only look at Li Kun Yang, who stood up without a care of the teacup falling, with shocked expressions.\nBang!\nWith a light echo, Zhang Tian Li was not able to react at all as he was sent flying by Wei Xiao Bei. In an instant, he had been flung towards the group of people. Luckily, those watching still knew martial arts as they safely caught Zhang Tian Li.\nWei Xiao Bei did not land a heavy punch, but this punch had stifled Zhang Tian Li, causing his expression to become purple. Only after coughing a bit, was he able to regain a bit of energy.\n“Martial uncle Wei is truly strong. Disciple Zhang Tian Li admits defeat.”\nAt this moment, Zhang Tian Li’s delusions had been destroyed as he came to his senses. Then, he cupped his hands towards Wei Xiao Bei and dispiritedly stood below the stage as if he was thinking about something.\n“Xingyi Dojo disciple, Ted Cruz, ask martial uncle Wei for pointers! Please take care of me!”\nAt this moment, a blond-haired, blue-eyed caucasian youth climbed up the stage and cupped his hand towards Wei Xiao Bei.\nHowever, ever since Wei Xiao Bei had thrown Zhang Tian Li down the stage, he had shut his eyes and stood without moving.\nFrom the previous punch, he felt that something was slightly different from his fists compared to before.\nIt was not that his Three Cannon Emperor Fist was different from his Bajiquan, but the difference was difficult for him to describe with words.\nIn simpler terms, he felt as if he gained control of everything in his surroundings in this punch. Even the light bump that sent Zhang Tian Li flying was finely controlled by him.\nFor Wei Xiao Bei, he could feel a sense of extreme comfort that he had never felt before.\nJust like that, Wei Xiao Bei was appreciating the subtle feeling when he pulled back his fists, attempting to gain complete control over the feeling.\nTowards Ted Cruz who had just got up on stage, Wei Xiao Bei was simply not in the mood to pay attention to him.\nHowever, this boy had thought that the reason why Wei Xiao Bei was standing on the spot and closed his eyes was due to receiving an injury during his fight with Zhang Tian Li. He became greedy and attempted to punch Wei Xiao Bei.\nThis Ted Cruz was Li Kun Yang’s 12th disciple.\nWhen Li Kun Yang saw that this naive boy was throwing out a punch at Wei Xiao Bei, he could not help but sigh. He felt that his disciples were inferior to Cheng Bi Wu’s and decided to clean up of the dojo.\nHowever, before this, the more they suffer the better.\nWhen this thought had just floated to his head, this Ted Cruz could not even react as he was sent flying basketball. In an instant, he had knocked against the wall with a loud bang and landed on the ground.\nEveryone was immediately sent in an uproar. The distance between the stage and the wall was 30 meters!\nAlthough they could not see how Ted Cruz was sent flying by Wei Xiao Bei’s attack, being able to send someone flying with just a punch or a kick was very terrifying.\nOn the contrary, Li Kun Yang had seen through one thing. When Ted Cruz punched out, Wei Xiao Bei did not open his eyes and formed a fist with his right hand. And then with a quick punch and withdrawal from Ted Cruz’s chest, Ted Cruz was instantly sent flying.\nLi Kun Yang could not help but sigh in his heart. He felt that Wei Xiao Bei was already in the upper levels of neutral jing. This was something that Li Kun Yang knew he would not be wrong about. The passion for battle within him floated up again.\nAfter Ted Cruz had been sent flying by Wei Xiao Bei’s attack, no one dared to challenge him.\nAfter inspecting Ted Cruz, he did not have any serious injuries. He had only fainted from the impact and fractured two ribs.\nFor martial artists, breaking two ribs while fighting was a normal thing.\nLi Kun Yang let someone send Ted Cruz to the hospital and walked to the side of the stage. He lightly pressed on it and jumped up.\nCompared to those disciples that wanted to have a dramatic way of going up the stage, Li Kun Yang was much calmer.\nWhen he got up, Li Kun Yang cupped his hand towards Wei Xiao Bei.\nHowever, Wei Xiao Bei was a bit displeased at the moment due to Ted Cruz breaking his train of thought.\n“What is the meaning of this brother Li?”\nSince he was displeased, his tone was a bit bad at the moment.\nLi Kun Yang was also a bit embarrassed. He originally wanted to use his disciples to test Wei Xiao Bei, but he never imagined that they were useless and only stayed on the side of the oppressed.\nThe worst part was that none of them were self-knowledgeable at all. When they could not win against Wei Xiao Bei, they attempted to take small advantages, making him a bit ashamed.\nIn truth, if Li Kun Yang was only a bystander, he would also be disdainful at those disciples.\nHowever, he was their master."

第313章、护短？
最后一天，有月票的支持一下本书，谢谢了。
爱你们。
狗屁自己调整身体站稳，到了这时，沙本明明白了过来。
自己就是被卫小北丢出来的，但其手法之巧妙，却让沙本明惊骇，居然能够让自己稳稳落在地上。 光这一手功夫，沙本明就感觉自己有些斯巴达了。
自己就连怎么做都不知道。
这实力相差也太远了吧？
卫小北出手一招就将沙本明给丢了出去，说实话，看上去还是挺让人震撼的。
可问题是看到沙本明平安落地，下面的人想法就有些不同了。
他们认为卫小北也就是抓住了沙本明的破绽，才能够做到这些，没看到沙本明都能够轻易落地站稳么？
就这一点说明，沙本明比卫小北也弱不了太多。
自己只要小心一点，不让对方抓住机会，那么胜利的机会还是很大的。
基于这种思路，当即便有两个内门弟子争先恐后企图上台，相互之间不愿意退让。
这样的场景让李昆阳看到之后，不由得皱了皱眉头，寻思自己对这些徒弟是不是太过于宽松了一点。
好吧，李昆阳决定了，等卫小北离开之后，所有内门弟子每天加练两个小时，免得他们还有心思争斗这些。
“别争了，你们两个一起上来吧？”
卫小北在擂台上站了一会。 都有些无聊了，下面李昆阳的两个弟子还在争执之中。
卫小北感觉自己是好心。 可那两个内门弟子却感觉自己受到了侮辱。
就算卫小北比自己厉害，两个打一个？ 传出去，那脸皮都丢出法国了。
犹豫一会之后，两人索性采取了最古老的决胜方法，石头剪刀布。 这个方法虽说古老，但的确有效，就两下，个头略高一点的弟子就取胜了，得意洋洋的翻上了擂台。
“形意武馆弟子张天礼向卫师叔讨教。”
不管在下面表现得多么差劲，这张天礼上了擂台，看上去还算有点礼貌。
但接下来，擂台上就没了动静。
卫小北自持师叔身份，不愿意主动进攻，而那张天礼则极为谨慎，之前那个本沙明的遭遇，他在台下是看得清楚明白。
主动出击完全就是找死，还不如以静制动。
结果，他就站在原地与卫小北给耗上了。
至少没有发起任何攻击，只是企图围着卫小北转圈，想要找到卫小北的破绽。
这让卫小北看得有些无语了。
你练的是形意拳，不是游龙八卦掌啊。 当然。
这也不能说张天礼的对策错误了。
相对于那个本沙明而言，张天礼的确在擂台上多站了一会。
但卫小北也等得有些无聊了。 便朝着张天礼前进一步。
就这一步，便让精神紧张得快要崩断的张天礼骤然动了，一个健步犹如猛虎下山，便朝着卫小北冲了过去。
卫小北对张天礼的观感要比那个本沙明好多了，因而也没有直接一把将其抓住丢出，任由其攻击，随手抵挡，一路后退。
几拳打出，眼见卫小北被自己打得不断后退，最终被逼到了擂台角落处，张天礼随即变得信心十足，出拳越发猛烈，想要将卫小北几拳就打落擂台。
卫小北也就是让让罢了，真要是让对方将自己打落擂台，他是决计不肯的。
现在的年轻人啊，完全不知道什么叫做得寸进尺，这张天礼的心思，卫小北如何不知，无非就是想要将自己当成梯子，垫脚石，成就自己的名气。
卫小北虽说不在乎这点名气，当然他认为自己也没有什么名气，但如果就这样被晚辈落了面子，卫小北心头会极度不爽的。
要知道，他来这形意武馆怎么说也算是客人。
不得不说，李昆阳做生意不错，但在调教弟子上，还差着几分火候。
想到这里，卫小北也不再退让，正面突破，右手化拳！ 三皇炮捶！
拳如攻城捶，一拳打出！
落在张天礼眼中，这一拳就好似放大了无数倍，几乎将自己尽数笼罩在里面。
看到卫小北这一拳打出，周身所散发出来的气势，刚刚端起一杯清茶，准备喝上两口的李昆阳不由得急忙站了起来，口中惊呼：“拳势！”
这所谓的拳势，乃是功夫到了一定深度之后，在与人搏斗之时，所表现出来的一种气势。
这种东西很难具体描述出来，但与之对战的对手能够感受到，至于旁观之人里面，就是像李昆阳这样的国术高手隐约能够感受到，其余的人压根就不知道什么，只是看着李昆阳不顾茶水摔落站立起来有些吃惊罢了。
嘭！
一声轻响，张天礼连反应的时间都没有，就被卫小北一拳打飞了出去，转眼之间便摔落在人群之中，还好那些观战的多少都有点功夫，七手八脚的将张天礼给接住了。
卫小北没有下重手，但这一拳也让那张天礼憋了气，脸色青紫，连连咳嗽好一阵子后方才缓过劲来。
“卫师叔果然厉害，弟子张天礼服了。”
张天礼此时算是被打掉了所有幻想，恢复过来之后，便朝着擂台上抱了抱拳。 之后垂头丧气的站在擂台下，不知道在想些什么。
“形意武馆特鲁克洛斯向卫师叔讨教！ 请求指点！”
这时一个金发碧眼白皮肤的年轻小伙爬上了擂台。 朝着卫小北抱了抱拳。
可卫小北从将张天礼打下擂台之后，卫小北就双目紧闭。 站在那里全身不动了。
之前那一拳打出，卫小北就感觉自己这一拳与以前有些不太一样。
并不是说三皇炮捶与八极拳之间的不同，这种不同很难用语言描述出来。
简单来说，这一拳打出之后，卫小北感觉四周一切都被自己纳入了掌控之中，自己轻轻一碰，那张天礼就飞了出去，这所有一切，自己都能够精细掌控。
对于卫小北而言。 这种感觉很舒服，从没有出现过。
如此，卫小北在收拳之后，便仔细体味这种感觉，企图将其完全掌握。
那个什么特鲁克洛斯翻上了擂台，卫小北压根就没心思去理会他。
可偏偏这小子见卫小北站在原地不动，双眼紧闭，还以为卫小北在之前与张天礼的打斗里受了伤，一时贪婪心起。 试探着一拳朝着卫小北打了过来。
这特鲁克洛斯乃是李昆阳的十二弟子。
李昆阳看到这小子不知轻重，就是一拳朝着卫小北打去，不由得轻叹一声，自己收的弟子没有一个能够比得上程必武。
不过在这之前，让他们吃吃苦头也好。 这个念头刚刚浮现出来，那特鲁克洛斯连反应的时间都没有。
就好似一只保龄球被打飞了出去，转眼之间。 嘭一声就撞在了演武场的墙壁上，随即反弹数米之后摔落在地面上。
众人顿时哗然。 这个擂台距离墙壁足足有三十米！
虽说他们之前完全没有看见特鲁克洛斯是怎么被卫小北击中的，但不管是拳还是脚，能够一下将人击飞三十米，这显然有些恐怖了。
倒是李昆阳看清楚了一点，那特鲁克洛斯一拳打过去的时候，卫小北压根就没有睁眼，右手化掌，在特鲁克洛斯胸口上轻轻一贴一收，特鲁克洛斯就飞了出去。 好强大的力量，好精妙的技巧。
李昆阳不由得在心头感叹，这个卫小北至少是化劲以上层次了，这一点，李昆阳自认不会认错，心头随即一股炽热的战斗**便浮现了出来。
那特鲁克洛斯被卫小北轻轻一掌击飞之后，就再也没有一个人敢上去与卫小北挑战了。
那个特鲁克洛斯经过检查之后，倒也没有受太大的伤害，只是巨大的冲击力将其撞晕了过去，肋骨断了两根罢了。
对于学武之人而言，磕磕碰碰，在实战演练之中断两条肋骨，再正常不过了。
李昆阳让人将特鲁克洛斯送往医院之后，便来到擂台边，轻轻一按擂台，一跃而上。
相对于那些千方百计想要上擂台时，表现得更厉害的弟子，李昆阳倒是比较坦然。
上了擂台，李昆阳朝着卫小北抱了抱拳。
可卫小北心头却有点不太爽，之前那个特鲁克诺斯上来正好打断了自己的思路。
“李师兄这是为何？”
既然心头有点不爽，卫小北此时的语气就有些不太好了。
李昆阳也有点尴尬，原本想让自己几个弟子上来试探一下卫小北的功夫底子，可没想到一个比一个不中用，完全就是被虐的对象。
最要命的是，一个个没有自知之明，打不赢卫小北还企图占上一点便宜，这就更让人不耻了。
说实话，李昆阳如果仅仅只是旁观者的话，估计对自己那几个弟子也是一脸的唾弃。
可偏偏自己就是他们的师父。

Chapter 313 - Defend Someone Despite Their Mistakes?
Chapter 313: Chapter 313 – Defend Someone Despite Their Mistakes? Translator:
Exodus Tales Editor:
Exodus Tales What? Stand straight?
At this moment, Benjamin understood that he had been thrown out by Wei Xiao Bei. Moreover, the technique was so ingenious that Benjamin had actually been able to stand straight on the ground, making him even more shocked
He did not even know how it was done.
Was the difference between us this huge?
Wei Xiao Bei had thrown Benjamin out in one move. In truth, this was already quite shocking.
However, after seeing Benjamin land steadily on the ground, everyone’s thoughts differed.
They believed that Benjamin was only caught unprepared that was why Wei Xiao Bei was able to do all this. After all, Benjamin had easily landed steadily on the ground.
This meant that Benjamin was not a lot weaker than Wei Xiao Bei.
As long as one was more careful and not let the opponent catch you, the chance of victory would be bigger.
Because of this thinking, two of the inner disciples strove to get up the stage first and not give way.
Seeing this scene, Li Kun Yang could not help but frown at the thought that he might be too easy going with his disciples.
Li Kun Yang had decided that once Wei Xiao Bei left, every inner disciple would train for two more hours per day, preventing them from having thoughts of fighting each other.
“Stop fighting, why don’t both of you come up at the same time?”
Wei Xiao Bei had stood on the stage for a while and felt quite bored as he watched Li Kun Yang’s disciples argue with each other.
Wei Xiao Bei was trying to be kind, but the two inner disciples felt humiliated.
After a bit of hesitation, they finally decided to duke it out with the most ancient method: rock, paper, scissors.
Although this method was old, it was very effective. After two rounds, the taller of the disciples had won as he proudly got up the stage. He completely ignored how ugly the manner he used to climb up the stage.
“Xingyi Dojo disciple, Zhang Tian Li, asks martial uncle Wei for pointers.”
No matter how bad his performance was below, Zhang Tian Li had still shown a bit of manner once he was up on stage.
However, the stage became silent in the next instance.
Wei Xiao Bei played the identity of the martial uncle and did not take the initiative to attack. On the other hand, Zhang Tian Li was extremely cautious. He had clearly seen the misfortune Benjamin encountered while below the stage.
In his mind, taking the initiative to attack was courting death so he stayed inactive.
In the end, he had delayed the time as he stood on the spot.
Thirty seconds passed, and Zhang Tian Li had moved without making any attacks. He only circled around Wei Xiao Bei, trying to find an opening.
This made Wei Xiao Bei speechless.
You should have learned Xingyiquan and not Baguazhang, right?
Naturally, this did not mean that Zhang Tian Li’s countermeasure was wrong.
Compared to Benjamin, Zhang Tian Li ha truly stood on the stage for a longer time.
However, Wei Xiao Bei was also quite bored, making him take a step forward towards Zhang Tian Li.
This single step caused Zhang Tian Li, who was nervous to the points of collapse, make a sudden move. He immediately strode forward like a tiger coming down the mountain as he charged at Wei Xiao Bei.
Wei Xiao Bei’s impression of Zhang Tian Li was a lot better than Benjamin. Thus, he did not immediately throw him out as he let him attack while he defended and retreated back step by step.
After sending out a few fists and seeing that Wei Xiao Bei was continuously retreating to a corner, Zhang TIan Li became even more confident as his fists became even fiercer, wanting to send Wei Xiao Bei out the stage.
Wei Xiao Bei was only giving way. It was impossible for him to let his opponent send him out.
Youths nowadays did not understand the meaning of ‘win an inch want a foot.’ How could Wei Xiao Bei not know Zhang Tian Li’s thoughts? He simply wanted to use Wei Xiao Bei as a stepping stone to increase his fame.
Although Wei Xiao Bei did not care about this fame, and he even believed that he did not have this fame, he would still be incredibly displeased if he had let such a younger generation humiliate him.
It must be known that he was still a guest in the Xingyi Dojo.
It could be said that Li Kun Yang’s business was not bad, but in terms of disciples, they lacked maturity.
Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei stopped retreating, formed a fist with his right hand, and broke through from the front! Three Emperor Cannon Fist!
His fist was like a sledgehammer as it struck out.
When the fist was in front of Zhang Tian Li’s eyes, it appeared to have expanded by countless times, as if he was enveloped by it.
Seeing Wei Xiao Bei’s punch and the might that was coming out from his body, Li Kun Yang who had just picked up the teacup, immediately stood up and shouted, “Fist aura!”
This so-called fist aura was the might displayed by someone who had reached a deep profound martial understanding when fighting.
This thing was very hard to describe, but the enemy would be able to feel it. As for those on the side, only Guo Shu experts like Li Kun Yang could faintly feel it. Other people would simply be unable to feel it at all, causing them to only look at Li Kun Yang, who stood up without a care of the teacup falling, with shocked expressions.
Bang!
With a light echo, Zhang Tian Li was not able to react at all as he was sent flying by Wei Xiao Bei. In an instant, he had been flung towards the group of people. Luckily, those watching still knew martial arts as they safely caught Zhang Tian Li.
Wei Xiao Bei did not land a heavy punch, but this punch had stifled Zhang Tian Li, causing his expression to become purple. Only after coughing a bit, was he able to regain a bit of energy.
“Martial uncle Wei is truly strong. Disciple Zhang Tian Li admits defeat.”
At this moment, Zhang Tian Li’s delusions had been destroyed as he came to his senses. Then, he cupped his hands towards Wei Xiao Bei and dispiritedly stood below the stage as if he was thinking about something.
“Xingyi Dojo disciple, Ted Cruz, ask martial uncle Wei for pointers! Please take care of me!”
At this moment, a blond-haired, blue-eyed caucasian youth climbed up the stage and cupped his hand towards Wei Xiao Bei.
However, ever since Wei Xiao Bei had thrown Zhang Tian Li down the stage, he had shut his eyes and stood without moving.
From the previous punch, he felt that something was slightly different from his fists compared to before.
It was not that his Three Cannon Emperor Fist was different from his Bajiquan, but the difference was difficult for him to describe with words.
In simpler terms, he felt as if he gained control of everything in his surroundings in this punch. Even the light bump that sent Zhang Tian Li flying was finely controlled by him.
For Wei Xiao Bei, he could feel a sense of extreme comfort that he had never felt before.
Just like that, Wei Xiao Bei was appreciating the subtle feeling when he pulled back his fists, attempting to gain complete control over the feeling.
Towards Ted Cruz who had just got up on stage, Wei Xiao Bei was simply not in the mood to pay attention to him.
However, this boy had thought that the reason why Wei Xiao Bei was standing on the spot and closed his eyes was due to receiving an injury during his fight with Zhang Tian Li. He became greedy and attempted to punch Wei Xiao Bei.
This Ted Cruz was Li Kun Yang’s 12th disciple.
When Li Kun Yang saw that this naive boy was throwing out a punch at Wei Xiao Bei, he could not help but sigh. He felt that his disciples were inferior to Cheng Bi Wu’s and decided to clean up of the dojo.
However, before this, the more they suffer the better.
When this thought had just floated to his head, this Ted Cruz could not even react as he was sent flying basketball. In an instant, he had knocked against the wall with a loud bang and landed on the ground.
Everyone was immediately sent in an uproar. The distance between the stage and the wall was 30 meters!
Although they could not see how Ted Cruz was sent flying by Wei Xiao Bei’s attack, being able to send someone flying with just a punch or a kick was very terrifying.
On the contrary, Li Kun Yang had seen through one thing. When Ted Cruz punched out, Wei Xiao Bei did not open his eyes and formed a fist with his right hand. And then with a quick punch and withdrawal from Ted Cruz’s chest, Ted Cruz was instantly sent flying.
Li Kun Yang could not help but sigh in his heart. He felt that Wei Xiao Bei was already in the upper levels of neutral jing. This was something that Li Kun Yang knew he would not be wrong about. The passion for battle within him floated up again.
After Ted Cruz had been sent flying by Wei Xiao Bei’s attack, no one dared to challenge him.
After inspecting Ted Cruz, he did not have any serious injuries. He had only fainted from the impact and fractured two ribs.
For martial artists, breaking two ribs while fighting was a normal thing.
Li Kun Yang let someone send Ted Cruz to the hospital and walked to the side of the stage. He lightly pressed on it and jumped up.
Compared to those disciples that wanted to have a dramatic way of going up the stage, Li Kun Yang was much calmer.
When he got up, Li Kun Yang cupped his hand towards Wei Xiao Bei.
However, Wei Xiao Bei was a bit displeased at the moment due to Ted Cruz breaking his train of thought.
“What is the meaning of this brother Li?”
Since he was displeased, his tone was a bit bad at the moment.
Li Kun Yang was also a bit embarrassed. He originally wanted to use his disciples to test Wei Xiao Bei, but he never imagined that they were useless and only stayed on the side of the oppressed.
The worst part was that none of them were self-knowledgeable at all. When they could not win against Wei Xiao Bei, they attempted to take small advantages, making him a bit ashamed.
In truth, if Li Kun Yang was only a bystander, he would also be disdainful at those disciples.
However, he was their master.

And he couldn’t remember if there were any rare objects or monsters with the Light element.\nIn the end, Rhode decided to not think about it anymore. No matter where it came from, at least he benefited from it because his Spirit Bird would be able to defend against a larger variety of attacks from different elements. Rhode clenched his fist.\nKa!\nA crack sounded from his palm, and a large bird appeared in front of Rhode. The tiny Spirit Bird vanished and was substituted by a blue, translucent bird that spanned at least two meters long. It casually flapped its wings, causing some of its long feathers to fall to the ground. Its sharp eyes blinked a few times as it stared at its master. Not only did its body size increase, but a newly coated white trim covered the edges of its wings. That was the evidence of the Light element in itself.\n“—!”\nThe Spirit Bird gave out a mild chirp and rubbed its head against Rhode, and he caressed its head in response. The Spirit Bird seemed to be very satisfied with its master’s touch. It shook its body and raised its head to chirp, then it once again turned into its card form, disappearing into the air.\n“Wow…” Anne who had been watching at the side suddenly returned to her senses. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Rhode with curiosity and excitement. When the Spirit Bird disappeared, Anne shouted gleefully and hurriedly made her way towards Rhode like a little kid who saw an ice-cream van.\n“Leader! Was that a spirit too? What a beautiful bird, can we raise it?”\n“It’s a spirit for battle and not as a pet.”\nRhode casually answered Anne’s brainlessly enthusiastic question. However, Anne didn’t seem to let this opportunity slide that easily. She pranced around Rhode, asking all kinds of silly questions. But it couldn’t be helped. Rhode’s style of fighting had always been a hot topic within the mercenary group. Regardless whether they were new or old mercenaries, they had never seen such an odd battle style or a class like the Spirit Swordsman.\nUnlike Marlene, no matter how strong, in the end, she was still a mage and only can be a mage. But Rhode was different. He used his superb swordsmanship to prove he was a powerful swordsman, and he was also able to use summoning skills that only summoners could use. This was a mystery to them. Some even suspected that Rhode borrowed the help of magical equipment. But they eventually denied these suspicions as magic equipment could never summon so many different spirits…\nThat was what they concluded before they knew that Gillian and Celia were also summoned spirits.\nRhode was not interested in entertaining Anne, and since she appeared so energetic, he chose to proceed forward. Although she didn’t receive an answer, she didn’t seem to have any regrets. She maintained her enthusiasm and followed Rhode, anticipating Rhode’s elegant form in battle later.\n“Leader, will you use it in battle? Anne really really wants to see it. Can I touch it?”\n“You’d better take care of yourself. The next enemy isn’t as easy as you think.”\nRhode cut off Anne’s enthusiasm with a straight response, and he began observing his surroundings cautiously.\n“Let’s go. Something doesn’t feel quite right here.”\nRhode turned and left with Anne hurriedly following behind.\nBoth of them quickly disappeared into the tunnels, and the whole area returned to its former state. But not long after, two human shadows suddenly appeared around the corner.\n“Did you see that? Amund?”\nThe woman narrowed her eyes and stared at the position where Rhode previously stood.\n“Such beautiful art. How did he do that? Summoning skills?”\n“I’m not so sure, Miss. But it doesn’t seem to be summoning skills, at least not those by the ordinary summoners.”\nThe old man had a dubious expression on his face as he shook his head.\n“Frankly speaking, I have never seen such mysterious techniques. From the flow of magical energy, this should belong to a unique type of summoning system, but I can’t analyze its source. The only thing I can be sure of is that this technique is ancient.” “Oh? That’s amusing.”\nThe woman opened her eyes in surprise; she turned her head and glanced at where Rhode had gone. There were traces of greediness in her eyes.\n“Beautiful appearance, mysterious attitude, unique techniques… You are tempting me to add you to my collection, Mr. Rhode. I can guarantee, you will become the most special little gem in all of my collections… Everything in this country belongs to me, and that includes you. So then, what else are you gonna show us?” Rhode had chills down his spine.\nAn odd sensation suddenly came over him which sent a chill throughout his body. He subconsciously turned behind but could only see a dark, empty alley. No incoming monsters nor any signs of abnormality.\nAfter spending a while in the underground, it was unavoidable to be oversensitive.\nWe should get this over and done with, so we can get some fresh air. Rhode finally reached the end of the tunnel. He gestured to Anne to get ready, and at the same time he took a deep breath and slowly pushed the stone door.\nBrilliant rays started leaking out from in between the widening gaps; it was so bright that Rhode had to close his eyes.\nA spacious hall covered with polished white stones greeted them.\nAn arc-shaped dome dangled above. The glittering fluorite lamp emitted a light which illuminated the entire hall. Thick, solid columns carved with floral patterns were organized in a series, and a firm brass pipe joined the columns together. At the left and right sections of the hall, there were multiple brass pipes with their dark entrances facing the hall. They appeared to be like other ordinary pipes, but for Anne wouldn’t let her guard down at all as she was ambushed previously.\nBut the most conspicuous object was a massive metal golem that blocked the passage in front of them.\nIt appeared to be at least two meters tall. It had two thick arms at its waist. Although its legs weren’t long, it appeared to be totally sturdy. Different from the Guardian Golems, it had a thick and sturdy deck. Didn’t seem to have any weaknesses.\nRhode reminded Anne softly. “It is very slow, but you need to mind your corners. Although this thing looks like a human, you can’t treat it as one. Its waist and limbs can be rotated freely and attack in any direction it wants. Also, pay attention to those brass pipes. I think you must know what these things are for. Once the Core Guardian shifts into battle mode, those irritating Guardian Golems will come through the pipes. I will handle the Core Guardian, and you’ll deal with the Guardian Golems. Remember, although these things are nimble, once they appear, they will commence an activation process, so immediately destroy them the moment you see them. Don’t worry. This place isn’t used for a long time, so the amount of Guardian Golems wouldn’t be too much for you to handle.”\nRhode took his time to explain to Anne about the mechanics of this battle.\n“Oh yeah, one more thing,” Rhode continued,”you’ve got to notice its movements, once the Core Guardian releases white steam from its body, I need you to stay away or run as far as possible immediately. At the same time, get into a defensive stance. Understood?”\n“I understand, Leader.” After receiving Rhode’s guidance, Anne became silent. She nodded her head after understanding his explanation. Then, she took out her shield and pulled something, soon enough, along with the sound of machines, the gold shield once again changed shape. Anne took a deep breath and grabbed her shield. “I’m ready.” Anne nodded solemnly.\n“Good, let’s go!”\n“—!” When the duo entered the hall, the golem appeared to have detected their presence. The formerly dull eyes suddenly flickered and it released a puff of steam out from all over its body. Its enormous body moved. Then, it raised its arms and smashed toward Rhode!\nThe battle begins!"

对于罗德来说，这个信息本身并不难理解，这说明召唤精灵本身拥有光元素和风元素两种属姓，这会让它们在面对同属姓的攻击时比较容易抵抗。
那么接下来只有一种可能，那就是精灵在进化过程中受到了外在元素的影响，如果那些元素足够强大的话，的确是可以给召唤精灵增添新的元素属姓进去的。
不过这个答案并没有让罗德接受，他反而越来越疑惑了。 黑松遗迹是个奥秘遗产的遗迹，说白了这里也就是魔法和构装体的天下，魔力本身无分属姓，而构装体又是死物，根本不可能影响到召唤精灵。 虽然说在地底下，土元素属姓的影响可能会比较大，但是因为风元素和土元素属姓相克的缘故，召唤精灵也不太可能增添这方面的属姓。

好漂亮的鸟啊，我们能不能够养它？”

说完这句话，罗德便转身离开，而安妮也急忙紧随其后。
两人的身影很快就消失在了通道之中，刚才还略显嘈杂的空间此刻重新回复了平静，但是没过多久，两个人影便忽然从角落中浮现出了身影。
“你看见了吗？
前面的少女眯起眼睛，饶有兴趣的注视着罗德刚才站的地方。
“真是无比美妙的艺术，他究竟是怎么做到的？
“我不是很清楚，小姐，不过看起来应该不是召唤术，至少不是法师的那种召唤术。”
老人摇了摇头，他的面上此刻也带着沉思与疑惑的表情。
“坦白来说，我从来没有见过类似的魔法技巧，从魔力的流动来判断，这应该是属于一种非常独特，自成体系的召唤系统。 不过我却没有办法分析出它的来源，唯一可以确定的就是，这种技巧非常古老。”

罗德背后一寒。
在地底下呆久了果然还是会神经过敏的，早点干完出去晒晒太阳吧。
抱着这样的想法，罗德走到了通道的尽头，随后他冲安妮做了个手势，示意她做好战斗准备，接着罗德深深的呼吸了一口，慢慢的推开了眼前的石门。
洁白的光辉一瞬间从中涌出，甚至让罗德不由自主的闭上了眼睛。
在罗德面前的，是一个宽广，由洁白石板所覆盖的大厅。
弧形的穹顶高高挂起，闪耀着魔法光辉的萤石灯散发出冰冷的白色光芒，照亮了眼前的一切。 雕刻着花纹的石柱在墙边排列成两行，到处都可以看见粗壮，黄铜色的管道在其中穿插而过，而在左右两侧的墙边，一共六个金属管道黑洞洞的出口对准了大厅，骤眼看起来它们就好像普通的排气管，不过对于之前已经遭遇过一次袭击的安妮而言，她可不会简单的再把这东西当成毫无用处可言的古怪管道了。

“注意，小心这个家伙的进攻。”
罗德停在门边，低声对安妮说道。
对了，你还要注意它的动作，一旦核心卫士全身上下开始喷气，我要求你立刻离它远远的，有多远跑多远，同时让自己在第一时间进入防御体势，明白了吗？
听到罗德的嘱咐，安妮沉默片刻，在理解了他的意思之后点了点头，随后她拿出盾牌，轻轻一拉，很快，伴随着机括滑动的声音，原本形状复杂的精金盾牌再一次改变了形状，接着少女倒握盾牌，深呼吸了口气，随后对着罗德点了点头。
“很好，我们上吧！”
而就在两人踏入房间的同时，一直沉默着的巨大构装体似乎也察觉到了他们的举动，原本暗淡的双眼骤然变的明亮起来，接着，伴随着一道道蒸气喷射而出，巨大的构装体开始了行动，它高高的举起双手，向着罗德用力砸了下去！

It casually flapped its wings, causing some of its long feathers to fall to the ground. Its sharp eyes blinked a few times as it stared at its master. Not only did its body size increase, but a newly coated white trim covered the edges of its wings. That was the evidence of the Light element in itself.
“—!”
The Spirit Bird gave out a mild chirp and rubbed its head against Rhode, and he caressed its head in response. The Spirit Bird seemed to be very satisfied with its master’s touch. It shook its body and raised its head to chirp, then it once again turned into its card form, disappearing into the air.
“Wow…” Anne who had been watching at the side suddenly returned to her senses. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Rhode with curiosity and excitement. When the Spirit Bird disappeared, Anne shouted gleefully and hurriedly made her way towards Rhode like a little kid who saw an ice-cream van.
“Leader! Was that a spirit too? What a beautiful bird, can we raise it?”
“It’s a spirit for battle and not as a pet.”
Rhode casually answered Anne’s brainlessly enthusiastic question. However, Anne didn’t seem to let this opportunity slide that easily. She pranced around Rhode, asking all kinds of silly questions. But it couldn’t be helped. Rhode’s style of fighting had always been a hot topic within the mercenary group. Regardless whether they were new or old mercenaries, they had never seen such an odd battle style or a class like the Spirit Swordsman.
Unlike Marlene, no matter how strong, in the end, she was still a mage and only can be a mage. But Rhode was different. He used his superb swordsmanship to prove he was a powerful swordsman, and he was also able to use summoning skills that only summoners could use. This was a mystery to them. Some even suspected that Rhode borrowed the help of magical equipment. But they eventually denied these suspicions as magic equipment could never summon so many different spirits…
That was what they concluded before they knew that Gillian and Celia were also summoned spirits.
Rhode was not interested in entertaining Anne, and since she appeared so energetic, he chose to proceed forward. Although she didn’t receive an answer, she didn’t seem to have any regrets. She maintained her enthusiasm and followed Rhode, anticipating Rhode’s elegant form in battle later.
“Leader, will you use it in battle? Anne really really wants to see it. Can I touch it?”
“You’d better take care of yourself. The next enemy isn’t as easy as you think.”
Rhode cut off Anne’s enthusiasm with a straight response, and he began observing his surroundings cautiously.
“Let’s go. Something doesn’t feel quite right here.”
Rhode turned and left with Anne hurriedly following behind.
Both of them quickly disappeared into the tunnels, and the whole area returned to its former state. But not long after, two human shadows suddenly appeared around the corner.
“Did you see that? Amund?”
The woman narrowed her eyes and stared at the position where Rhode previously stood.
“Such beautiful art. How did he do that? Summoning skills?”
“I’m not so sure, Miss. But it doesn’t seem to be summoning skills, at least not those by the ordinary summoners.”
The old man had a dubious expression on his face as he shook his head.
“Frankly speaking, I have never seen such mysterious techniques. From the flow of magical energy, this should belong to a unique type of summoning system, but I can’t analyze its source. The only thing I can be sure of is that this technique is ancient.” “Oh? That’s amusing.”
The woman opened her eyes in surprise; she turned her head and glanced at where Rhode had gone. There were traces of greediness in her eyes.
“Beautiful appearance, mysterious attitude, unique techniques… You are tempting me to add you to my collection, Mr. Rhode. I can guarantee, you will become the most special little gem in all of my collections… Everything in this country belongs to me, and that includes you. So then, what else are you gonna show us?” Rhode had chills down his spine.
An odd sensation suddenly came over him which sent a chill throughout his body. He subconsciously turned behind but could only see a dark, empty alley. No incoming monsters nor any signs of abnormality.
After spending a while in the underground, it was unavoidable to be oversensitive.
We should get this over and done with, so we can get some fresh air. Rhode finally reached the end of the tunnel. He gestured to Anne to get ready, and at the same time he took a deep breath and slowly pushed the stone door.
Brilliant rays started leaking out from in between the widening gaps; it was so bright that Rhode had to close his eyes.
A spacious hall covered with polished white stones greeted them.
An arc-shaped dome dangled above. The glittering fluorite lamp emitted a light which illuminated the entire hall. Thick, solid columns carved with floral patterns were organized in a series, and a firm brass pipe joined the columns together. At the left and right sections of the hall, there were multiple brass pipes with their dark entrances facing the hall. They appeared to be like other ordinary pipes, but for Anne wouldn’t let her guard down at all as she was ambushed previously.
But the most conspicuous object was a massive metal golem that blocked the passage in front of them.
It appeared to be at least two meters tall. It had two thick arms at its waist. Although its legs weren’t long, it appeared to be totally sturdy. Different from the Guardian Golems, it had a thick and sturdy deck. Didn’t seem to have any weaknesses.
Rhode reminded Anne softly. “It is very slow, but you need to mind your corners. Although this thing looks like a human, you can’t treat it as one. Its waist and limbs can be rotated freely and attack in any direction it wants. Also, pay attention to those brass pipes. I think you must know what these things are for. Once the Core Guardian shifts into battle mode, those irritating Guardian Golems will come through the pipes. I will handle the Core Guardian, and you’ll deal with the Guardian Golems. Remember, although these things are nimble, once they appear, they will commence an activation process, so immediately destroy them the moment you see them. Don’t worry. This place isn’t used for a long time, so the amount of Guardian Golems wouldn’t be too much for you to handle.”
Rhode took his time to explain to Anne about the mechanics of this battle.
“Oh yeah, one more thing,” Rhode continued,”you’ve got to notice its movements, once the Core Guardian releases white steam from its body, I need you to stay away or run as far as possible immediately. At the same time, get into a defensive stance. Understood?”
“I understand, Leader.” After receiving Rhode’s guidance, Anne became silent. She nodded her head after understanding his explanation. Then, she took out her shield and pulled something, soon enough, along with the sound of machines, the gold shield once again changed shape. Anne took a deep breath and grabbed her shield. “I’m ready.” Anne nodded solemnly.
“Good, let’s go!”
“—!” When the duo entered the hall, the golem appeared to have detected their presence. The formerly dull eyes suddenly flickered and it released a puff of steam out from all over its body. Its enormous body moved. Then, it raised its arms and smashed toward Rhode!
The battle begins!

He had kept these people alive as he had his own reasons.\nWhen he arrived at the end of the street, Qin Wushuang came down from the horse. It showed respect to his father, and to his people. After a night of brutal fighting, these people were still waiting for his return. They deserve Qin Wushuang’s respect.\n“Father, I did not disgrace myself on my mission.” Qin Wushuang walked before Qin Lianshan and said with a smile. He looked very relaxed, and from his face, one could not even see any trace of tiredness and fatigue from having his long journey. As if he only relaxing at home, and had come back from morning training.\n“Two groups of the Xu people, all thirty-one people are here.”\nQin Lianshan was thrilled: “Good, excellent!”\n“Great!” Behind him, there was a round of applauses.

Both their identities and social status have changed with the status quo!\nIn the secret chamber of the Qin family, Gou Sheng’s state of mind was almost breaking down.\nUnder Qin Wushuang’s power, he had already sweated more than one basin of sweats. On the other hand, Qin Wushuang did not speak anything. He only smiled, held a sharp dagger and heated it on the candle from time to time. Both sides of the knife had been heated till it was glowing, the edges of the blade showed a demonic blue light.\nFinally, his mind broke down entirely. With a painful expression, he begged: “Young Master Qin, please, you are a generous guy that would forgive my mistakes. I, Gou Sheng, did not recognize the gold around the jade, and it was my dog eyes that had looked down on you, my mouth was bitchy, please whip me, hit me…”\nQin Wushuang only smiled and did not speak a word. He only raised his head and looked at Gou Sheng with contempt. A light strange smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.\n\"Young Master Qin, I…I know, you did not kill me because you have your reasons. If you need to use me, please order me freely. I will do my utmost to finish it and put my life at stake.\"\nQin Wushuang slapped his thigh: \"Good, you are right on point. I got this dagger from Xu Sihai and it was covered in harsh poison. If I lightly sliced it on your body, your whole body will lose control, you would be frothing at mouth, spasm for three days and night, and then finally, you would die. Do you want to try?”\n“No, please, no. Young Master Qin, what do you want me to do? I will do it immediately and I will guarantee one hundred percent satisfaction. I will definitely not be a disgrace to the Wealthy Qin.”\n\"Yes, you were saying that the Xu had escaped overnight to go to the Great Wu Country and betrayed the Bai Yue Country, were you making things up? Or is this true?\"\n“It’s…It’s true.” Gou Sheng immediately said, “I don’t dare to lie on this thing.”\nGou Sheng said with a sad face: \"This matter, I have no idea.\"\n“You don’t know?” The color on Qin Wushuang’s face darkened, “You don’t know this, don’t know that, then it seems keeping you alive would be a waste of food. You have no other use anyways.”\nWhen he heard that things were taking a turn for the worse, Gou Sheng immediately begged: “Young Master, young Master Qin, please let me think, please let me think.”\nQin Wushuang gave an evil smile: \"Think well, you don't have too much time remaining.\"\nGou Sheng was a smart guy. After some thinking, he understood Qin Wushuang’s intention and probed: “I remember, that during the Family Class Evaluations, Xi Men Qian of the Xi Men Feudal Lords had been staying at the Xu residence. I have no idea what shady business he was doing”\n\"You don't know what sort of shady business? You truly don't know?\" Qin Wushuang casually raised the dagger in his hand and waved two times before Gou Sheng.\n\"I remember it, I remember it now.\" Terror-stricken, Gou Sheng yelled: \"From my information, people of the Xi Men Feudal Lords were the ones that had made the connection for the Xu to go to the Great Wu Country.\"\n\"Why is the Xi Men Feudal Lords making the connection for the Xu?\"\n\"This…This…\" Just as Gou Sheng was hesitating, he saw the murderous intent appearing in Qin Wushuang's eyes. Inwardly, he knew it was bad and did not dare to wait and said: \"It seems that Xi Men Feudal Lords also intends to betray the Bai Yue Country. They are letting the Xu test the waters to build a foundation…\"\nQin Wushuang did not seem satisfied as he shook his head: “Motivation, what is the motivation behind this matter? After all, in Bai Yue Country, the Xi Men Feudal Lords are one of the Twelve Great Feudal Lords. They hold an important position, why would they betray the Bai Yue Country?”\nDrops of sweats constantly streamed down from Gou Sheng’s forehead. He, of course, understood that Qin Wushuang was leading him to accuse the Xi Men Feudal Lords of treason. He was also scared that the Xi Men family would take revenge on him. However, at the moment, between life and death, if he did not give a right answer, his head would most likely get separated from his body. He had seen with his own eyes how the son of the Qin family had killed people of the Xu.\nIt would be a piece of cake for the son of the Qin to kill him.\n\"Motivation…Motivation…\" Gou Sheng's kept thinking, and suddenly, he had an idea and said: \"Great Wu is the same as our Bai Yue Country, they are all middle-level subordinate countries. Throughout time, these two nations have all engaged in conflicts, disagreed on a lot of things and are like fire and water. For hundreds of years, these two countries have used many methods on each other as they fought to devour the other one. The Xi Men Feudal Lords should have made a secret agreement with the Royal families of the Great Wu. Should they succeed, the Great Wu would be able to expand their territories, increase the natural resources and would rise to become an upper-level Subordinate Country. And the Xi Men Feudal Lords would also get crowned as a foreign Royal Family and rule over the current Redwood Royal Territory!\"\nQin Wushuang laughed with his palm covering his face. No wonder he made a living with his mouth. This Gou Sheng had genuinely said everything. This way, he would only dirty the dagger in his hand if he killed him. However, if he used him well, Gou Sheng would serve well as a crazy biting dog. And like a dog that could bite deeply into the bones if it only bit once.\nHints, Gou Sheng immediately understood the hidden meaning beneath the words. He instantly dropped to the ground and vowed to the heavens: \"Young Master Qin, I am willing, I am prepared to serve you with my life.\"\n“You?” Qin Wushuang asked with a cold sneer: “Can you do it?”\n“Yes, I can. From today onwards, I will be the most loyal dog of the Qin family. I will bite whoever my master wants.”\n\"Who doesn't know how to speak a few lovely words?\" Qin Wushuang said lightly: \"Of course, if you truly want to be a loyal dog for the Qin, then you must perform some tasks first. Count it as the probation period.\"\n“Yes, yes, what do you want me to do?”\n\"As for the specific tasks, just wait for orders. The number one principle of being a dog is to always act on the master's orders. Never act on your own and never try to be smart. Even more, never show signs of betraying the Master, can you do this?\"\n\"If you are smart enough, I believe you can. Still, that word, if you genuinely do things for the Qin, I promise you will live a luxurious life and people will surround you to praise you. If you think about betraying us, I only need to move my finger and generations of your family will die.\"\nGou Sheng was smarter than a monkey and had his methods for judging other’s abilities. From his observations of Qin Wushuang, he already saw that this teenager had an unlimited future.\nWho cares if they were the Xi Men Feudal Lords? Even a Stage Eight of the Genuine Force could not dare to say he could win over a teenage martial arts student. Where does his limit lie? How could his future be comparable to the Xi Men Feudal Lords?\nFrom this interaction with Qin Wushuang, Gou Sheng had completely experienced the way of how this kid does things. To put it bluntly, Gou Sheng had become totally submissive to Qin Wushuang.\nOf course, such character stood very high and appeared mighty in Gou Sheng's mind. Such methods, such background, and such temperament, Gou Sheng had never seen anything like it in any other aristocratic Patriarchs.\nEven that Xi Men Qian, who claimed to be the number one among the younger generation in Southcloud State, was not comparable to this teenager.\nThis guy, for sure, he was a man of high aspirations!"

第0066章
东边渐渐露出鱼肚白，初阳打破了黎明的沉寂，将黑暗从整个世界驱除，新的一天到来了。
秦连山一夜未眠，带领大批族人，在门口等候着。
黎明的街道上，远远传来达达的马蹄声。
秦氏这边一片欢呼：“少爷，果然是少爷！”
“少爷回来了！”
秦无双一马当先，身后足有三十匹骏马。 每一匹马上，都绑缚着一个人。
这些人，自然都是许氏子弟。
而且都是活人。 并不是秦无双不会杀人，他留着这些人，自然有他的道理。
这是对父亲的尊重，也是对族人的尊重。 这些人经过一夜奋战，还在门口迎接他凯旋归来，值得他秦无双尊重。 “父亲，孩儿不辱使命。”
走到秦连山跟前，秦无双微笑着道，表情是那样轻松，从他的脸上，甚至看不出任何奔波过的疲劳和倦怠，仿佛这一夜他根本就是在家里休息，正好晨练回来似的。
“许氏两路人马，总共三十一人，全部在此。”
秦连山大喜：“好，干的好！”
族人们的喜悦和崇拜，都发自肺腑。 从他们脸上，根本看不到疲劳和不满，看到的只有热切，只有自豪，只有希望。
秦氏，重归豪门，这意味着，他们从此就是豪门家族的护卫，身份地位，都将水涨船高！
秦氏密室当中，苟圣心理几乎已经完全崩溃。
在秦无双的威压下，他的汗珠都已经流了一脸盆不止。 秦无双却什么话都没有，只是微笑着，手里拿一把森森的匕首，不住放在烛火上烤着。
匕首两边都有开刃，刃端上散发着妖异的蓝芒。 苟圣全身每一寸肌肤都倒起鸡皮疙瘩，汗毛根根倒竖。
他是在不知道，这秦家子要卖弄什么关子。 秦无双微笑不语，只是抬头轻瞥了苟圣一眼，嘴角溢出淡淡怪异的微笑。
“秦少爷，我……我知道，您留我不杀，肯定有您的道理。 如果您有用的着的地方，请尽管吩咐，小人一定赴汤蹈火，拼死去办。”
秦无双一拍大腿：“好，说到点子上了。 这把匕首，是我从许四海身上得来的，上面喂有剧毒，如果我在你身上轻轻一割，你就会全身颤抖，口吐白沫，抽搐三天三夜，然后才能死去。 要不要试试？”
“别，别啊。 秦少爷，你要小人办什么？
“嗯，你说许氏，彻夜逃跑，要投靠大吴国，背叛百越国，这消息是信口雌黄的呢？ 还是真有其事？”
“真……真有其事。”
苟圣哭丧着脸：“这个小人确实不知道啊。”
“你不知道？” 秦无双面色一沉，“这不知道，那不知道，看来留着你也除了浪费粮食之外，也没有别的用了。”
苟圣一听不妙，忙告饶：“少爷，秦少爷，容小人想想，请容小人想想啊。”
秦无双邪邪笑着：“你好好想想，留给你的时间并不多。”
苟圣是聪明人，思忖片刻，就知道秦无双的用意，试探性说道：“小人记得，家族论品期间，西门大阀的西门千，一直逗留在许氏府中，不知道搞什么勾当。”
你真不知道？” 秦无双悠然举起手里的匕首，在苟圣面前晃荡了两下。 “想起来了，想起来了。”
苟圣魂飞魄散，忙叫道，“根据小人的情报，许氏投靠大吴国，牵针引线的正是西门大阀的人。”
“西门大阀为什么要给许氏牵针引线啊？”
“这……这……”苟圣正犹豫着，见秦无双眼中杀机频频闪现，暗暗叫苦，不敢迟疑，忙道，“似乎，西门大阀，也有背叛百越国的打算。
秦无双似乎还不是很满意，摇了摇头：“动机，这事有什么动机吗？ 西门大阀在百越国，好歹也是名列十二大阀位置的，位高权重，有什么动机背叛百越国呢？”
苟圣额头汗珠直冒，他当然明白秦无双这是引导他攀诬西门大阀，他也害怕西门大阀报复，可是眼下，性命攸关，一个回答不善，恐怕就要身首异处。 秦家子杀许氏族人的手段，他是亲眼看到的。
秦家子要杀他苟圣，不费吹灰之力。
事成之后，大吴国版图扩大，资源增加，将会上升为上品从属国。 而西门大阀，也会被册封为异性王族，统领如今赤木王领的地界！” 秦无双抚掌大笑，不愧是靠嘴皮子吃饭的。
你在这里好好反思一下，怎么选择才是最聪明的。 我秦氏现在不缺地位，就缺一条会咬人的狗。
暗示，苟圣立马听出了这话里头的暗示，忙扑倒在地，指天立誓：“秦少爷，小人愿意，小人愿意效犬马之劳。”
秦无双冷笑问，“你行吗？”
“行的，行的。 小人从今天开始，就是秦氏最忠实的走狗。 主人让咬谁，咱就去咬谁。”
“漂亮话谁不会说?”秦无双淡淡道，“当然，你真要做我秦氏的走狗，就先得做几件漂亮的事出来。 就当试用期吧。”
“是，是，少爷要小人做什么？”
“具体做什么，等命令就是。 做狗的原则是，永远听主人的口令行事，不要自作主张，不要自作聪明。 更不能有背叛主人之举。
“小人发誓，今生死心塌地追随秦氏一门，如有二心，教我天诛地灭，万箭穿心，全族死无葬身之地。”
苟圣比猴还精，看人本事亦有他的一套，根据他对秦无双的观察，早已看出这少年前途不可限量。
哪怕是西门大阀，那又如何？ 一个少年武童，连真武境八段都不敢说能胜他，他的极限在哪？ 他的前途，又岂是西门大阀可以比拟的？
与秦无双打这一次交道，苟圣已经充分领教到此子的手段，可以说，他苟某人是被秦无双制得服服帖帖。
这样的人物，在苟圣心中的地位，自然是无限拔高。 这样的手段，这样的城府，这样的气度，苟圣在罗江郡任何一家贵族家主身上，都从没看到过。
哪怕是那西门大阀的西门千，号称南云州年轻一辈第一人，与此子一比，却是大大的相形见绌。

Chapter 66 Acting Like a Bulldog of One’s Free Will
From the east side, the marble white color of the dawn sky gradually revealed itself. The first sun had broken the stillness of the morning and drove off the darkness from the entire world. A new day had arrived.
Qin Lianshan did not sleep at all last night. He waited at the door with a large group of his people.
On the street, the sound of the horse hooves came from afar.
Waves of cheering came rose up the Qin family: "Young Master, it is Young Master!"
“Young Master is back!”
Qin Wushuang rode on the first horse, and at least thirty fine horses were being led behind him. There was one person tied on each horse. These people were, of course, the offsprings of the Xu.
And they were still alive.
It was not because Qin Wushuang did not know how to kill people. He had kept these people alive as he had his own reasons.
When he arrived at the end of the street, Qin Wushuang came down from the horse. It showed respect to his father, and to his people. After a night of brutal fighting, these people were still waiting for his return. They deserve Qin Wushuang’s respect.
“Father, I did not disgrace myself on my mission.” Qin Wushuang walked before Qin Lianshan and said with a smile. He looked very relaxed, and from his face, one could not even see any trace of tiredness and fatigue from having his long journey. As if he only relaxing at home, and had come back from morning training.
“Two groups of the Xu people, all thirty-one people are here.”
Qin Lianshan was thrilled: “Good, excellent!”
“Great!” Behind him, there was a round of applauses. People's joy and admiration were all from the bottom of their heart. From their faces, there was no fatigue and dissatisfaction, and one could only see eagerness, pride and hope.
The Qin family had returned to being part of the Wealthy Class. It meant, from now on, they would be guards of a Wealthy Class family. Both their identities and social status have changed with the status quo!
In the secret chamber of the Qin family, Gou Sheng’s state of mind was almost breaking down.
Under Qin Wushuang’s power, he had already sweated more than one basin of sweats. On the other hand, Qin Wushuang did not speak anything. He only smiled, held a sharp dagger and heated it on the candle from time to time. Both sides of the knife had been heated till it was glowing, the edges of the blade showed a demonic blue light.
Finally, his mind broke down entirely. With a painful expression, he begged: “Young Master Qin, please, you are a generous guy that would forgive my mistakes. I, Gou Sheng, did not recognize the gold around the jade, and it was my dog eyes that had looked down on you, my mouth was bitchy, please whip me, hit me…”
Qin Wushuang only smiled and did not speak a word. He only raised his head and looked at Gou Sheng with contempt. A light strange smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.
"Young Master Qin, I…I know, you did not kill me because you have your reasons. If you need to use me, please order me freely. I will do my utmost to finish it and put my life at stake."
Qin Wushuang slapped his thigh: "Good, you are right on point. I got this dagger from Xu Sihai and it was covered in harsh poison. If I lightly sliced it on your body, your whole body will lose control, you would be frothing at mouth, spasm for three days and night, and then finally, you would die. Do you want to try?”
“No, please, no. Young Master Qin, what do you want me to do? I will do it immediately and I will guarantee one hundred percent satisfaction. I will definitely not be a disgrace to the Wealthy Qin.”
"Yes, you were saying that the Xu had escaped overnight to go to the Great Wu Country and betrayed the Bai Yue Country, were you making things up? Or is this true?"
“It’s…It’s true.” Gou Sheng immediately said, “I don’t dare to lie on this thing.”
Gou Sheng said with a sad face: "This matter, I have no idea."
“You don’t know?” The color on Qin Wushuang’s face darkened, “You don’t know this, don’t know that, then it seems keeping you alive would be a waste of food. You have no other use anyways.”
When he heard that things were taking a turn for the worse, Gou Sheng immediately begged: “Young Master, young Master Qin, please let me think, please let me think.”
Qin Wushuang gave an evil smile: "Think well, you don't have too much time remaining."
Gou Sheng was a smart guy. After some thinking, he understood Qin Wushuang’s intention and probed: “I remember, that during the Family Class Evaluations, Xi Men Qian of the Xi Men Feudal Lords had been staying at the Xu residence. I have no idea what shady business he was doing”
"You don't know what sort of shady business? You truly don't know?" Qin Wushuang casually raised the dagger in his hand and waved two times before Gou Sheng.
"I remember it, I remember it now." Terror-stricken, Gou Sheng yelled: "From my information, people of the Xi Men Feudal Lords were the ones that had made the connection for the Xu to go to the Great Wu Country."
"Why is the Xi Men Feudal Lords making the connection for the Xu?"
"This…This…" Just as Gou Sheng was hesitating, he saw the murderous intent appearing in Qin Wushuang's eyes. Inwardly, he knew it was bad and did not dare to wait and said: "It seems that Xi Men Feudal Lords also intends to betray the Bai Yue Country. They are letting the Xu test the waters to build a foundation…"
Qin Wushuang did not seem satisfied as he shook his head: “Motivation, what is the motivation behind this matter? After all, in Bai Yue Country, the Xi Men Feudal Lords are one of the Twelve Great Feudal Lords. They hold an important position, why would they betray the Bai Yue Country?”
Drops of sweats constantly streamed down from Gou Sheng’s forehead. He, of course, understood that Qin Wushuang was leading him to accuse the Xi Men Feudal Lords of treason. He was also scared that the Xi Men family would take revenge on him. However, at the moment, between life and death, if he did not give a right answer, his head would most likely get separated from his body. He had seen with his own eyes how the son of the Qin family had killed people of the Xu.
It would be a piece of cake for the son of the Qin to kill him.
"Motivation…Motivation…" Gou Sheng's kept thinking, and suddenly, he had an idea and said: "Great Wu is the same as our Bai Yue Country, they are all middle-level subordinate countries. Throughout time, these two nations have all engaged in conflicts, disagreed on a lot of things and are like fire and water. For hundreds of years, these two countries have used many methods on each other as they fought to devour the other one. The Xi Men Feudal Lords should have made a secret agreement with the Royal families of the Great Wu. Should they succeed, the Great Wu would be able to expand their territories, increase the natural resources and would rise to become an upper-level Subordinate Country. And the Xi Men Feudal Lords would also get crowned as a foreign Royal Family and rule over the current Redwood Royal Territory!"
Qin Wushuang laughed with his palm covering his face. No wonder he made a living with his mouth. This Gou Sheng had genuinely said everything. This way, he would only dirty the dagger in his hand if he killed him. However, if he used him well, Gou Sheng would serve well as a crazy biting dog. And like a dog that could bite deeply into the bones if it only bit once.
Hints, Gou Sheng immediately understood the hidden meaning beneath the words. He instantly dropped to the ground and vowed to the heavens: "Young Master Qin, I am willing, I am prepared to serve you with my life."
“You?” Qin Wushuang asked with a cold sneer: “Can you do it?”
“Yes, I can. From today onwards, I will be the most loyal dog of the Qin family. I will bite whoever my master wants.”
"Who doesn't know how to speak a few lovely words?" Qin Wushuang said lightly: "Of course, if you truly want to be a loyal dog for the Qin, then you must perform some tasks first. Count it as the probation period."
“Yes, yes, what do you want me to do?”
"As for the specific tasks, just wait for orders. The number one principle of being a dog is to always act on the master's orders. Never act on your own and never try to be smart. Even more, never show signs of betraying the Master, can you do this?"
"If you are smart enough, I believe you can. Still, that word, if you genuinely do things for the Qin, I promise you will live a luxurious life and people will surround you to praise you. If you think about betraying us, I only need to move my finger and generations of your family will die."
Gou Sheng was smarter than a monkey and had his methods for judging other’s abilities. From his observations of Qin Wushuang, he already saw that this teenager had an unlimited future.
Who cares if they were the Xi Men Feudal Lords? Even a Stage Eight of the Genuine Force could not dare to say he could win over a teenage martial arts student. Where does his limit lie? How could his future be comparable to the Xi Men Feudal Lords?
From this interaction with Qin Wushuang, Gou Sheng had completely experienced the way of how this kid does things. To put it bluntly, Gou Sheng had become totally submissive to Qin Wushuang.
Of course, such character stood very high and appeared mighty in Gou Sheng's mind. Such methods, such background, and such temperament, Gou Sheng had never seen anything like it in any other aristocratic Patriarchs.
Even that Xi Men Qian, who claimed to be the number one among the younger generation in Southcloud State, was not comparable to this teenager.
This guy, for sure, he was a man of high aspirations!

"value": "Chapter 497: Everything Is Your Responsibility!\nTranslator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy\nThe old demon's slender wrists trembled slightly, looking like a withered twig. Not only such wrists didn't have enough strength to clench a sword and kill humans, they also didn't have enough strength to satisfy his own need.\nMoreover, from the old man's feeble breathing, one couldn't see if he even had a little bit of fighting power. Having a magic spell to shape sand was nice, but the beautiful spell couldn't be used in the actual combat.\nBut what could a feeble old man explain? Any tribe that was good at fighting battles didn't lack any feeble old man that had lost their ability for masturbation. But, could he prove that the entire desert demons do not have a happy sex life? There was no such truth in the world. Thus, in Wang Lu's view, the self-proofing logic of this old man was incomparably amusing.\nHowever, at this moment, Feng Yin could not help open his mouth to explain, \"Senior Brother, their people really don't have fighting ability anymore.\"\nBefore Ouyang Shang could respond, Wang Lu already could not resist himself from scolding, \"You talk too much! What no fighting ability? Was your letter that said Zhang Sheng and Wang Chen were forcibly taken utter rubbish then? Are people that have no fighting ability able to forcibly take away the two elites of your golden generation?\"\nAt this time, Feng Yin seemed already at a lost for words, and his ability to express himself directly degenerated to that of the level of ape. For a time, he anxiously gesticulated as if he was dancing, yet it was still unclear on what he was trying to say. Watching this unfold, Wang Lu couldn't help but sigh, thinking that no wonder a hundred years later, Wang Wu would often scold him as a failed human—this old guy's IQ was certainly lacking…\n\"Please let me explain it, after all, this is all because of us.\"\nThe old demon sighed and then began to explain the sequence of events.\nIt was a long story. Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang quietly listened while standing on that sand dune. Even when the sun had gradually risen and the light was scorching hot, they didn't care.\nIt was really a story full of twists and turns. The story was divided into two stages. The first was about the seizing of the Spirit Sword Sect's disciples by force.\nFirst of all, the two people Zhang Sheng and Wang Chen were indeed taken away. But the women who took them away did not harm them. What happened was that, seeing that the two were poisoned and almost fell deathly ill, they directly rushed to take them away to give them first aid. As for why the two elite cultivators couldn't resist being taken away… it was precisely because they were unaware of the strange poison, thinking that there was still an immortal method to fix it, but in fact, even two ordinary demon girls could not resist it.\nThen, Feng Yin and the others were separated from the two so they were not at the scene. After finding out that the two were missing, they used the picture review technique to look at the past to find the whereabouts of the two people. Using that technique, they saw the two demon girls took the two men away by force. Moreover, when they followed the track, it led them to the dwelling of the two girls, where the girls made love to the two men… This was naturally a shock to them, so Feng Yin hurriedly wrote the letter asking for help to Ouyang Shang. It was only after the letter was sent out that it was discovered that everything was just a misunderstanding.\nThen the old man explained the strange behavior of the two women.\n\"They are the poison-extracting physicians in the tribe. Whenever there is a member of the tribe who is unfortunately suffering from the sand poison, it was they who took away the poison using the Yin and Yang elements of intercourse. This is the only detoxification method known to our tribe for thousands of years. What's more, at that time, the situation is urgent. If there's a delay, the poison might flare out. Moreover… Because of the way the poison was drawn out, they could not say anything and could not explain.\"\n\"... It turned out to be so. It's a blessing in disguise for the two of them that they actually had luck with women.\"\nIn the course of the story, in order to explain the detail, Feng Yin even used the picture review technique again to show the scene that day… The two demon poison-extracting physicians that forcefully saved them were hot, sexy, and beautiful. Although by the standard of cultivators, there were still some defects, it was not a big problem for the two men who had never tasted the women flesh.\nThe ins and outs of the story were basically reasonable, and with Feng Yin providing plenty of evidence to support it, there was no point in being oversuspicious. The only problem was… without rhyme or reason, how could they get poisoned? Moreover, when all was said and done, what kind of poison could infect a group of elite Spirit Sword Sect cultivators without them realizing it—at that time, they all had been vaguely reminded by Feng Yin to always be careful and stay on guard!\n\"It's the sand poison.\" The old demon explained, \"It's also the nightmare that has plagued our tribe for two thousand years. The essence of this poison is the curse of an invisible devil. When the curse is calm, it's colorless and tasteless, killing people silently. And when the curse erupts, it will form a sandstorm that sweeps the desert, obliterating everything.\"\nListening to the old man's explanation, Wang Lu was greatly surprised: What is this new development? A nightmare for the royal family of the demon world for two thousand years? What in the hell is this? There's actually such a powerful existence in the desert area northern part of the Savage Land?\nThen, the old demon followed up the first story, which was about the content of the letter sent by Feng Yin: The desert demon can control the sandstorm.\n\"Indeed, we can influence the sandstorm to a certain extent, but to say that we can control it…\" The old man shook his head with a bitter smile. \"What we can do is to offer a sacrifice in the form of flesh and blood, in exchange for a moment of contentment of the invisible devil, and thus we barely manage to maintain a feeble existence.\"\nAfter a pause, the old demon continued, \"The invisible devil has inexhaustible godly power. By raising its hand or lifting its feet, it could reverse the sun and the moon, and reverse the river current. The desert was a lush forest two thousand years ago, but it was corroded by this sand poison, and turned into a yellow sand in just a few decades.\"\nUpon hearing this, Wang Lu was even more surprised. This desert area perhaps had a radius of several thousand kilometers, but all of it was actually caused by degradation from the invisible devil? It was highly likely that this was no longer the means of the mortal world!\nWang Lu tightly frowned, thinking that these words were almost unthinkable. The previous royal family of the demon world was reduced to be a livestock? If he did not know the tragedy of the demon world and the mountain of hundreds of millions of demon, he would not believe that the powerful race that had once plunged the Nine Regions into two extinction-level crisis could be reduced to this!\nHowever, this was likely to be the truth. While listening to the story, there were some curious demons who passed by them. Without exception, they all seemed to be depleted of life force. Even though most of them knew how to cast spells, and they were also gifted with magical ability, but there was no fighting power at all.\nIt was like a group of pigs and chickens ready to be slaughtered.\nAt this time, the demon race elder continued, \"Several days before was exactly the time where the tribal priest went to the altar to carry out the blood sacrifice. As a result, they were accidentally seen by some of the members of your team, thus, they mistook us for being able to manipulate the sandstorm with an evil method. But then, they mistakenly went to the altar area without sacrificing blood, thus they were cursed. Fortunately, at that time, the invisible devil has just had enough to eat, so it had no intention to pursue it. Otherwise, I'm afraid before our tribe's poison-extracting physician could do anything to save them, their flesh and blood would melt, then… then things would be even more unclear.\"\nWith this background, the two letters from Feng Yin could finally be explained.\nWang Lu sneered and said, \"Yes, thankfully, it has not come to the most extreme situation. Otherwise, I won't even let you have the chance to speak!\"\nEven though the question has been answered, Wang Lu still maintained his aggressive attitude. It was true that the old man's calm posture was enough to dispel most of the people's doubt. At least Ouyang Shang had gradually put down his hostile stance. However, for Wang Lu, no amount of proof was more convincing than the established history of 'golden generation died in the hands of demon race'.\nThe demon race elder wasn't annoyed by his stance. \"Alas, we indeed only have ourselves to blame for all of these. If we had explained it to you earlier, the two men wouldn't have gotten poisoned and nearly died.\"\nFeng Yin could not help but say, \"Elder, this is not your fault. We are, after all, just outsiders. At that time, we have yet to master the language of each other's race, how can we expect you to tell us the secrets of the tribe? We were simply too reckless at the time.\"\nFeng Yin's attitude of siding with the enemy caused Wang Lu to greatly frown: I can't believe you, this old man, had already been so stupid a hundred years ago!\nHowever, on the other hand, it also forced Wang Lu to think about a problem.\nCould it be that this group of desert demons… was really innocent? After all, Wang Lu didn't know the exact detail about the fall of the golden generation. He could only conclude that it was related with the demon race, but the demon race might not necessarily be the only ones in this desert oasis. With this group of waste that had lost all their power, it was impossible to bring such a great loss to the Spirit Sword Sect.\n\"That being the case, we'll take our leave. Thank you for taking care of our Spirit Sword Sect people. If there is an opportunity in the future, we will repay it.\"\nWith that, Wang Lu directly ordered Feng Yin, \"Gather your team, we'll leave at once.\"\nFeng Yin was taken aback. \"Leave at once?\"\n\"Otherwise, do you want to be raised as a livestock by the invisible devil? I know that you think these demons are good to you, and a debt of gratitude naturally has to be repaid, but it doesn't mean that you have to spend your whole life here—you have to first repay your sect for the gratitude of raising you and nurturing you!\"\nThese words by Wang Lu immediately rendered Feng Yin speechless. And the demon race elder just sighed and silently nodded.\nFrom this, it could be seen that he indeed had a bit of expectation to the cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect, but just like a straw caught by a drowning man, he also knew that it was only a fantasy. How could a group of youngsters whose highest cultivation base was only Jindan be able to contend against the invisible devil?\nTherefore, even though things seemed to be very hasty, Feng Yin immediately pointed at all the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect within the tribe to prepare to leave. Even the two people Zhang Sheng and Wang Chen hurriedly came over in high spirits—the poison extraction technique of the poison-extracting physician of the demon race was indeed amazing.\nAfter seeing Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu, most of the disciples appeared to be pleasantly surprised, and quickly agreed to leave with them… Except for one person.\n\"Big Brother, Senior Brother Wang Lu, I'm really sorry, I can't go back with you.\"\nThe speaker was Zhang Sheng. This young cultivator was like a sharp sword, from head to toe he exuded sharp temperament. His pure sword intent was such that even Wang Lu couldn't help but praise—such sword intent was even comparable to that of Liu Li!\nIt was just that, his intelligence also seemed to be comparable to Liu Li… Can't go back with us? So are you going to settle here?\nAll the disciples looked at him curiously. Ouyang Shang said, \"Tell me why.\"\nZhang Sheng slightly frowned, seemingly found it difficult to organize his words. After a moment of silence, he said with a sinking voice, \"Because my heart has stayed here.\"\n\"What?\"\nThen they saw Zhang Sheng turn his head. Under a palm tree not far away from there, a graceful woman was silently watching him.\n\"Big Brother, Senior Brother Wang Lu, I… can't leave her alone, so I am really sorry, I cannot leave.\"\nAfter bringing it all out in the open, Zhang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved from a burden. The people around him froze as if they were petrified.\nCan't leave her alone? Did this guy fall in love with that demon physician? Just because the two had slept together for one night? Umm...\n\"Ouyang Shang!!\"\nDuring the ensuing silence, Wang Lu roared, stepped forward, and grabbed Ouyang Shang by the collar.\n\"Look what you did!\"\nWhen everyone was curious about how this had anything to do with Ouyang Shang, Wang Lu screamed, \"I told you to look for a mermaid in Blessed Fountain and have s*x with it and then send the video to this group of fools who had never seen meat to improve their taste! Yet you acted like a shy little boy and dismissed my suggestion! Are you happy now? A local wild girl has hooked his soul away!\""

第十八章 一切都是你的责任！
！
魔族老人纤细的手腕微微颤抖着，看上去就像干枯的细枝。 这样的手腕别说握紧兵刃和人类厮杀，只怕连满足自己的需要都不够力。
而且从这老人身上那衰弱之极的生命气息，也看不出他有半分战力可言。 一手塑沙化形的法术倒是漂亮，但再漂亮的法术，不能用于实战也没有意义。
但一个衰弱的老人又能说明什么？ 任何一个能征善战的部族都不缺乏失去战斗力的老弱病残，他一个人撸不动，难道就证明整个沙漠魔族不性福？ 天下没有这样的道理。
但正在这个时候，风吟又忍不住开口解释道：“师兄，他们的人的确巳经没有什么战斗能力了。”
你信上说张胜和王陈野两人被强行掳走是放屁么？ 没战斗力能掳走你们黄金一代的精锐高手？” 风吟连忙说道：“误会了误会了，那件事完全是个误会，这……这让我怎么解释是好。
此时的风吟似乎并不擅长言辞，急切间语言表达能力直接退化到猿猴等级，一时间只急的手舞足蹈，但仍是表达不淸。
“事情就由我来说吧，毕竟一切也算因我们而起。”
魔族老者又叹了口气，然后将来龙去脉娓娓道来。
这一段故事讲了很久，而王陆和欧阳商就安静地站在沙丘上聆听，连日头渐渐上升，光线火辣也浑不在意。
实在是一段充满曲折离奇的故事，故事分成两个阶段，第一是关于强掳灵剑弟子的。
首先，张胜、王陈野两人的确是被强掳走的，但当时掳走他们的两位女子并非要加害他们，而是看出他们身中奇毒，几乎病入裔肓，于是紧急之下直接动手抢人去急救。 至于两位精锐修士为何无法反抗……也正是因为身中奇毒却不自知，自以为还有仙法修为，其实连两个寻常魔族女子都抵挡不住。
而当时风吟等人恰好与他们分开了，并没在现场，是时候以观影术回溯过去才发现两人的下落。 当时只看到两位魔族女子强行抢人，而且更追踪到两人被女子带入房中翻云覆雨……这自然是大惊失色，慌忙向欧阳商写信求助。
然后再来解释一下那两名女子的奇特行为。
每当有族人不幸被沙毒侵蚀，都是她们出手，经过阴阳交合吸走毒素。 这是我们部族千百年来所知的唯一解毒方法，更何况当时事态紧急，若是稍有延迟就可能剧毒发作。 而且……因为这拔毒术的缘故，她们口不能言，也没法解释。”
“……原来如此，倒是平白给那两人送了一场艳福。”
故事过程中，为了详细说明，风吟甚至再次用出了观影术，将那天所见景象展示出来……那两位强行救人的魔族拔毒医师均是性感火辣的美人，虽然以修士的标准来看仍有些许瑕疵，但对于两个从未尝过肉味的人来说也算不上什么大问题了。
唯一的问题就是……好端端的，怎么就中了毒？ 而且究竟是什么毒，能让一群精锐的灵剑修士都不知不觉中了招他们当时可是在风吟的隐约提醒下，一直加着小心，成备森严！
魔族老者解释道，“也是困扰我们部族两千年的梦魇。 这种剧毒的实质，是一个无形恶魔的诅咒。 在诅咒平静的时候，它无色无味，杀人于无形。
而当诅咒爆发时，则会形成席卷大漠的沙暴，令一切生机泯灭。” 王陆听了魔族老头的解释，顿时大为诧异：这又是什么新的展开？ 能让魔界王族噩梦两千年？
而接下来，魔族老者就顺着讲起了第一个故事，也是关于风吟的第一封来信内容：沙漠魔族可以操控沙暴。
“事实上，我们的确可以一定程度上影响沙暴，但要说自由操控……”魔族老者苦笑着摇了摇头，“我们能做的，仅仅是以血肉之躯进行祭献，换取那无形恶魔的片刻满足，并以此苟延残喘罢了。”
顿了顿，魔族老者又说道：“那无形的恶魔拥有无穷无尽的神力，举手抬足间能令日月倒转，江河逆流。 这片沙漠在两千年前曾是一片葱郁森林。
王陆闻言更是惊讶，这片沙漠粗略看来怕不有方圆数千里，居然是因为一头无形恶魔腐蚀而成？ ！
王陆紧皱着眉，这番话听来简直匪夷所思，昔日魔畀王族如今沦为家畜玩物？ 啧，若非他亲眼见识过魔界如今的惨状，以及那又亿万魔族尸体垒成的高山，他怎么也不会相信曾令九州大陆两次陷入灭绝危机的强族，竟会沦落至此！
但偏偏这很可能就是事实，在说话的时候，附近也有些好奇心重的魔族从此经过。 无一例外地显出生命枯竭之相，纵然他们大部分都懂得使用法术，血脉之中也蕴含了天陚神通，但根本没有战斗力可言。
的确就像是一群待宰的猪狗一样。
此时，魔族长老又继续说道：“前几日正是部族祭司前往祭坛实行血祭的日子，结果不小心被他们几人看到，被误以为我们能以邪法操控沙暴。 而他们误入祭坛区域，又没有进行血祭，便有人中了诅咒。
说到这里，风吟的两封来信就都能解释得通了。
王陆冷笑道：“是啊，庆幸没有出现最极端的状况吧，否则我让你们连说话的机会都没有！”
哪怕解开了疑问，王陆的态度仍然显得咄咄逼人，诚然这个魔族老头儿的坦然姿态足以打消大部分人的疑虑，至少欧阳商就渐渐放下了剑拔弩张的姿态，然而对于王陆来说，再多的证明也没有“黄金一代曾死在魔族手上”这既定的历史更有说服力。
魔族长老对此也不气恼：“唉，这一切的确是我们咎由自取，若是早些和你们说明一切，也不至于让那两人身中剧毒，险些命丧黄泉。”
风吟忍不住说道：“长老，这怪不得你。 我们终归只是外来人，那段时间我们两族连语言都不太通，又怎么能奢求你们将部族的秘密告诉我们？ 是我们当时太过莽撞了。”
风吟这全盘倒戈的姿态令王陆大皱眉头，心说想不到你这老东西百年前是这么的傻逼！
但另一方面，也迫使王陆不得不思考一个问题。
难道这群沙漠中的魔族……真的是无辜的？ 毕竞说到底，王陆并不清楚当年黄金一代全军覆没的真相，他只能基本断定与魔族有关，但天底下的魔族未必只有这沙漠绿洲的一家啊。 以这群战力全失的渣渣，根本不可能给灵剑派带来那么大的损失。
“既然如此，我们就先行告辞了。 感谢你这段时间对我灵剑门人的关照，他日若有机会定当回报。”
王陆说完，就对风吟直接下令道：“集合队伍，立即离开。”
风吟吃了一惊：“立即离开？”
“不然难道你也想被无形恶魔当成家畜来养？ 我知道你觉得这些魔族对你有恩，知恩当图报，但没必要连自己的命都搭在这里一一要知道门派对你的栽培养育之恩才是第一位！”
王陆这番话说来，顿时令风吟无言以对。 而那位魔族长老也只是幽幽一叹，沉默地点了点头。
看得出，他似乎的确曾对灵剑的修士们报以过点滴的期待，犹如溺水之人抓到的稻草。 但他也淸楚那只是幻想，一群最高不过金丹修为的年轻人，又如何能抗衡那无形恶魔？ ！
所以接下来，纵然事情显得无比仓促，但风吟还是第一时间点齐了部族内部的灵剑弟子，准备动身离开。 就连张胜和王陈野这两人也精神饱满地赶了过来一一魔族拔毒医师的拔毒术果然是厉害。
见到欧阳商和王陆后，大部分弟子显得惊喜交集，并很快同意随他们一道离开……唯有一人例外。
“大师兄，王陆师兄，很抱歉，我不能跟你们一起走。”
说话的人是张胜，这位年轻的修士仿佛一口利剑，浑身散发着锐利的气质。 剑意之纯正，令王陆见了都不由称赞一一如此剑意只怕堪比琉璃仙了！
只是这智商似乎也和小琉璃有的一拼……不能跟我们一起走？ 那你还打算在此定居不成？
众位同门也都好奇地看着他。 欧阳商说道：“说说理由吧。”
张胜微微皱起眉，似乎有些难以组织措辞，沉默片刻后，他沉声道：“因为我的心己经留在这里。”
？”
然后就见张胜回过头去，在不远处的一颗棕榈树下，一位身姿婀娜的女子正默默注视着他。
“大师兄，王陆师兄，我……没办法丢下她独自离开，所以很抱歉，我不能走。”
一番话说出口，张胜轻轻舒了口气，如释重负。 周围的人则石化一般凝固住了。
没办法丢下她一个人离开？ 这，这家伙难道是爱上了那个魔族医师？ 就因为两人有过一夕合体之缘！
“欧阳商！ ！”
寂静中，王陆一声怒吼，只见他一步上前抓过了欧阳商的衣领。
“看你干的好事！”
在所有人都好奇这跟欧阳商有什么关系的时候，王陆怒喷道：“早说过让你在福泉找个美人鱼上了，视频发给这群没见过肉的傻逼处男提高一下他们的品位！ 你偏给我矜持！

Chapter 497: Everything Is Your Responsibility!
Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy
The old demon's slender wrists trembled slightly, looking like a withered twig. Not only such wrists didn't have enough strength to clench a sword and kill humans, they also didn't have enough strength to satisfy his own need.
Moreover, from the old man's feeble breathing, one couldn't see if he even had a little bit of fighting power. Having a magic spell to shape sand was nice, but the beautiful spell couldn't be used in the actual combat.
But what could a feeble old man explain? Any tribe that was good at fighting battles didn't lack any feeble old man that had lost their ability for masturbation. But, could he prove that the entire desert demons do not have a happy sex life? There was no such truth in the world. Thus, in Wang Lu's view, the self-proofing logic of this old man was incomparably amusing.
However, at this moment, Feng Yin could not help open his mouth to explain, "Senior Brother, their people really don't have fighting ability anymore."
Before Ouyang Shang could respond, Wang Lu already could not resist himself from scolding, "You talk too much! What no fighting ability? Was your letter that said Zhang Sheng and Wang Chen were forcibly taken utter rubbish then? Are people that have no fighting ability able to forcibly take away the two elites of your golden generation?"
At this time, Feng Yin seemed already at a lost for words, and his ability to express himself directly degenerated to that of the level of ape. For a time, he anxiously gesticulated as if he was dancing, yet it was still unclear on what he was trying to say. Watching this unfold, Wang Lu couldn't help but sigh, thinking that no wonder a hundred years later, Wang Wu would often scold him as a failed human—this old guy's IQ was certainly lacking…
"Please let me explain it, after all, this is all because of us."
The old demon sighed and then began to explain the sequence of events.
It was a long story. Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang quietly listened while standing on that sand dune. Even when the sun had gradually risen and the light was scorching hot, they didn't care.
It was really a story full of twists and turns. The story was divided into two stages. The first was about the seizing of the Spirit Sword Sect's disciples by force.
First of all, the two people Zhang Sheng and Wang Chen were indeed taken away. But the women who took them away did not harm them. What happened was that, seeing that the two were poisoned and almost fell deathly ill, they directly rushed to take them away to give them first aid. As for why the two elite cultivators couldn't resist being taken away… it was precisely because they were unaware of the strange poison, thinking that there was still an immortal method to fix it, but in fact, even two ordinary demon girls could not resist it.
Then, Feng Yin and the others were separated from the two so they were not at the scene. After finding out that the two were missing, they used the picture review technique to look at the past to find the whereabouts of the two people. Using that technique, they saw the two demon girls took the two men away by force. Moreover, when they followed the track, it led them to the dwelling of the two girls, where the girls made love to the two men… This was naturally a shock to them, so Feng Yin hurriedly wrote the letter asking for help to Ouyang Shang. It was only after the letter was sent out that it was discovered that everything was just a misunderstanding.
Then the old man explained the strange behavior of the two women.
"They are the poison-extracting physicians in the tribe. Whenever there is a member of the tribe who is unfortunately suffering from the sand poison, it was they who took away the poison using the Yin and Yang elements of intercourse. This is the only detoxification method known to our tribe for thousands of years. What's more, at that time, the situation is urgent. If there's a delay, the poison might flare out. Moreover… Because of the way the poison was drawn out, they could not say anything and could not explain."
"... It turned out to be so. It's a blessing in disguise for the two of them that they actually had luck with women."
In the course of the story, in order to explain the detail, Feng Yin even used the picture review technique again to show the scene that day… The two demon poison-extracting physicians that forcefully saved them were hot, sexy, and beautiful. Although by the standard of cultivators, there were still some defects, it was not a big problem for the two men who had never tasted the women flesh.
The ins and outs of the story were basically reasonable, and with Feng Yin providing plenty of evidence to support it, there was no point in being oversuspicious. The only problem was… without rhyme or reason, how could they get poisoned? Moreover, when all was said and done, what kind of poison could infect a group of elite Spirit Sword Sect cultivators without them realizing it—at that time, they all had been vaguely reminded by Feng Yin to always be careful and stay on guard!
"It's the sand poison." The old demon explained, "It's also the nightmare that has plagued our tribe for two thousand years. The essence of this poison is the curse of an invisible devil. When the curse is calm, it's colorless and tasteless, killing people silently. And when the curse erupts, it will form a sandstorm that sweeps the desert, obliterating everything."
Listening to the old man's explanation, Wang Lu was greatly surprised: What is this new development? A nightmare for the royal family of the demon world for two thousand years? What in the hell is this? There's actually such a powerful existence in the desert area northern part of the Savage Land?
Then, the old demon followed up the first story, which was about the content of the letter sent by Feng Yin: The desert demon can control the sandstorm.
"Indeed, we can influence the sandstorm to a certain extent, but to say that we can control it…" The old man shook his head with a bitter smile. "What we can do is to offer a sacrifice in the form of flesh and blood, in exchange for a moment of contentment of the invisible devil, and thus we barely manage to maintain a feeble existence."
After a pause, the old demon continued, "The invisible devil has inexhaustible godly power. By raising its hand or lifting its feet, it could reverse the sun and the moon, and reverse the river current. The desert was a lush forest two thousand years ago, but it was corroded by this sand poison, and turned into a yellow sand in just a few decades."
Upon hearing this, Wang Lu was even more surprised. This desert area perhaps had a radius of several thousand kilometers, but all of it was actually caused by degradation from the invisible devil? It was highly likely that this was no longer the means of the mortal world!
Wang Lu tightly frowned, thinking that these words were almost unthinkable. The previous royal family of the demon world was reduced to be a livestock? If he did not know the tragedy of the demon world and the mountain of hundreds of millions of demon, he would not believe that the powerful race that had once plunged the Nine Regions into two extinction-level crisis could be reduced to this!
However, this was likely to be the truth. While listening to the story, there were some curious demons who passed by them. Without exception, they all seemed to be depleted of life force. Even though most of them knew how to cast spells, and they were also gifted with magical ability, but there was no fighting power at all.
It was like a group of pigs and chickens ready to be slaughtered.
At this time, the demon race elder continued, "Several days before was exactly the time where the tribal priest went to the altar to carry out the blood sacrifice. As a result, they were accidentally seen by some of the members of your team, thus, they mistook us for being able to manipulate the sandstorm with an evil method. But then, they mistakenly went to the altar area without sacrificing blood, thus they were cursed. Fortunately, at that time, the invisible devil has just had enough to eat, so it had no intention to pursue it. Otherwise, I'm afraid before our tribe's poison-extracting physician could do anything to save them, their flesh and blood would melt, then… then things would be even more unclear."
With this background, the two letters from Feng Yin could finally be explained.
Wang Lu sneered and said, "Yes, thankfully, it has not come to the most extreme situation. Otherwise, I won't even let you have the chance to speak!"
Even though the question has been answered, Wang Lu still maintained his aggressive attitude. It was true that the old man's calm posture was enough to dispel most of the people's doubt. At least Ouyang Shang had gradually put down his hostile stance. However, for Wang Lu, no amount of proof was more convincing than the established history of 'golden generation died in the hands of demon race'.
The demon race elder wasn't annoyed by his stance. "Alas, we indeed only have ourselves to blame for all of these. If we had explained it to you earlier, the two men wouldn't have gotten poisoned and nearly died."
Feng Yin could not help but say, "Elder, this is not your fault. We are, after all, just outsiders. At that time, we have yet to master the language of each other's race, how can we expect you to tell us the secrets of the tribe? We were simply too reckless at the time."
Feng Yin's attitude of siding with the enemy caused Wang Lu to greatly frown: I can't believe you, this old man, had already been so stupid a hundred years ago!
However, on the other hand, it also forced Wang Lu to think about a problem.
Could it be that this group of desert demons… was really innocent? After all, Wang Lu didn't know the exact detail about the fall of the golden generation. He could only conclude that it was related with the demon race, but the demon race might not necessarily be the only ones in this desert oasis. With this group of waste that had lost all their power, it was impossible to bring such a great loss to the Spirit Sword Sect.
"That being the case, we'll take our leave. Thank you for taking care of our Spirit Sword Sect people. If there is an opportunity in the future, we will repay it."
With that, Wang Lu directly ordered Feng Yin, "Gather your team, we'll leave at once."
Feng Yin was taken aback. "Leave at once?"
"Otherwise, do you want to be raised as a livestock by the invisible devil? I know that you think these demons are good to you, and a debt of gratitude naturally has to be repaid, but it doesn't mean that you have to spend your whole life here—you have to first repay your sect for the gratitude of raising you and nurturing you!"
These words by Wang Lu immediately rendered Feng Yin speechless. And the demon race elder just sighed and silently nodded.
From this, it could be seen that he indeed had a bit of expectation to the cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect, but just like a straw caught by a drowning man, he also knew that it was only a fantasy. How could a group of youngsters whose highest cultivation base was only Jindan be able to contend against the invisible devil?
Therefore, even though things seemed to be very hasty, Feng Yin immediately pointed at all the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect within the tribe to prepare to leave. Even the two people Zhang Sheng and Wang Chen hurriedly came over in high spirits—the poison extraction technique of the poison-extracting physician of the demon race was indeed amazing.
After seeing Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu, most of the disciples appeared to be pleasantly surprised, and quickly agreed to leave with them… Except for one person.
"Big Brother, Senior Brother Wang Lu, I'm really sorry, I can't go back with you."
The speaker was Zhang Sheng. This young cultivator was like a sharp sword, from head to toe he exuded sharp temperament. His pure sword intent was such that even Wang Lu couldn't help but praise—such sword intent was even comparable to that of Liu Li!
It was just that, his intelligence also seemed to be comparable to Liu Li… Can't go back with us? So are you going to settle here?
All the disciples looked at him curiously. Ouyang Shang said, "Tell me why."
Zhang Sheng slightly frowned, seemingly found it difficult to organize his words. After a moment of silence, he said with a sinking voice, "Because my heart has stayed here."
"What?"
Then they saw Zhang Sheng turn his head. Under a palm tree not far away from there, a graceful woman was silently watching him.
"Big Brother, Senior Brother Wang Lu, I… can't leave her alone, so I am really sorry, I cannot leave."
After bringing it all out in the open, Zhang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved from a burden. The people around him froze as if they were petrified.
Can't leave her alone? Did this guy fall in love with that demon physician? Just because the two had slept together for one night? Umm...
"Ouyang Shang!!"
During the ensuing silence, Wang Lu roared, stepped forward, and grabbed Ouyang Shang by the collar.
"Look what you did!"
When everyone was curious about how this had anything to do with Ouyang Shang, Wang Lu screamed, "I told you to look for a mermaid in Blessed Fountain and have s*x with it and then send the video to this group of fools who had never seen meat to improve their taste! Yet you acted like a shy little boy and dismissed my suggestion! Are you happy now? A local wild girl has hooked his soul away!"

After all, it would not be a wise choice to fight with the crazy Monster Emperor Baizhi.\nHowever, as the Pavilion Master of Heaven Dao Pavilion, Mu Qingfeng was profound enough to know that he should not use the word “run”. Therefore, he said “retreat” instead.\n“Baizhi, there is no point struggling anymore!” With a face of righteousness, Mo Shanshi looked as though he was invincible.\nDespite of the aura he gave from his expression, he had retreated far away without needing Mu Qingfeng’s reminder.\n“…” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi who had both ran afar, as well as Monster Emperor Baizhi’s pair of dark green eyes which were staring at his face. He wanted to say ‘motherf*cker’ but hesitated.\nAs the ancient saying goes, Heroes die early. It was indeed true!\nWhat a pragmatic and cruel scene. Fang Zhengzhi wished that he could rewind time and remain as the little naive afterlife bystander.\nHowever, everyone had the ambition of becoming a hero.\nFang Zhengzhi too. Therefore, he had to bear with Monster Emperor Baizhi’s anger regardless of whether he was willing or not.\n“That old monster… Oh no, I meant, white… auntie. Actually, my relationship with Yun Qingwu is rather…” Fang Zhengzhi realised that he needed to put his cards on the table.\nHowever, Monster Emperor Baizhi did not give him a chance to speak. With a shake, she disappeared from her spot.\nThen, Fang Zhengzhi felt a chilling aura coming from his back, as though the spirits from hell were holding the saber of death behind him.\n“Face your death!” Monster Emperor Baizhi’s face was full of fur that looked extremely smooth. Radiance was flowing through her body, though she looked as though she was grimacing, she radiated alluring beauty.\nHowever, that was no longer important.\nThe important thing was, Monster Emperor Baizhi had two lightning bolts in her hands. They were real lightning that had accumulated and took the shape of two cold and long knives.\nIt was recorded in historical books that a real powerful Monster could control the Sun and the Moon, hold lightning in their hands, step on wind and fire, breathe the breath of sky and earth, as well as fuse with the sky and earth.\nFang Zhengzhi was unsure if Monster Emperor Baizhi had already fused with the sky and earth, nor could he see the two lightning bolts in her hands.\nBut he knew that she was behind him.\nFurthermore, from the chilling and terriffying tone of Monster Emperor Baizhi, he could tell that she meant it when she said “face your death”.\n“Fight till the end!” As the saying goes, despair gives courage even to a coward. At this critical point of life or death, Fang Zhengzhi clenched his teeth and stomped his feet, his potential completely exploding out of his body.\nMonster Emperor Baizhi was fast. Fang Zhengzhi was not slow either.\nAs the saying goes, capture the ringleader so as to capture all of his followers, hit where it hurts the most. Fang Zhengzhi was clueless about where Monster Emperor Baizhi’s “hurting point” was, but he knew where the “hurting point” of a woman was.\nTo a woman, the real taboo was not about any particular body part. Woman would not specially cover that part to protect it.\nTherefore, most of the time, woman only react after they had been grabbed at that area.\nIn that situation, Fang Zhengzhi clearly did not have time to grab the area. Furthermore, even if he successfully grabbed it, he probably would have already died by the time Monster Emperor Baizhi reacted.\nTherefore, Fang Zhengzhi decided to not target any specific body part, but rather the mindset.\nIn reality, anyone who was mindful would know that there had been a saying that described the relationship between a man and a woman — It is improper for the opposite sexes to come into contact with one another.\nThis saying was extraordinarily emphasised in this relatively conservative world.\nFang Zhengzhi had read “The Plum in the Golden Vase” before and hence understood more things than the ordinary man. Naturally, he knew that the real taboo for women was the sudden close approach of men.\nThis was a subconscious mindset.\nFor example, while walking on the streets, if you suddenly stretched out your hand to touch any part of a woman’s body, if you were fast and decisive enough, you would have at least a fifty percent chance of success.\nHowever, if we used another method, while walking on the streets, you suddenly leaned against a woman’s chest, there is a ninety percent probability that the woman would jump away and scream. Following that, not only did you fail at completing your mission, but you would also have to face the consequences.\nFang Zhengzhi was extremely meticulous. He had flipped “The Plum in the Golden Vase” a hundred times and memorized the finest details. Regarding the actual effect…\nWe would find out if we try. At that point of life and death, Fang Zhengzhi no longer cared about etiquette. After all, etiquette does not guarantee your survival.\nIn fact, you can only talk about etiquette if you remain alive!\nFang Zhengzhi moved. After sensing the crisis awaiting behind him, he leaned backwards immediately. That action was miraculously effective.\nAt a far distance, Mo Shanshi and Mu Qingfeng were stunned. They never imagined Fang Zhengzhi to react in this manner. But the truth was…\nWhen Fang Zhengzhi leaned back, Monster Emperor Baizhi, who had lost control of herself due to anger, was evidently stunned for a moment.\nEven though it was just for a moment, she was stunned.\nShe did not understand why Fang Zhengzhi did not choose to run forward or towards the sides, but instead approached her like a lost sheep and did not even attempt to defend. Most importantly…\nHe was about to touch her?!\n“You brat…” Monster Emperor Baizhi stepped backwards when Fang Zhengzhi was about to hit her chest.\nThat move was made unconsciously and instinctively, like how one instinctively closes one’s eyes when a stone flies towards them. After all, as the Monster Emperor…\nHow could she allow a man to crash into her chest in public?\nHowever, at the instant when she stepped back, she suddenly realised.\nAs the Nine-Tailed White Fox, Monster Emperor Baizhi was gifted with an extremely strong premonition.\nBecause of this premonition, she was able to react almost instantaneously when Fang Zhengzhi sprung a sneak attack at Nangong Hao. Unfortunately, she was too far away from Nangong Hao. Although she had managed to block Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi, she did not manage to successfully stop Fang Zhengzhi from advancing using the Tree of God.\nAt that moment, her premonition gave her a sense that Fang Zhengzhi was desperately trying to survive as though he was hanging from a strand of grass at the edge of the cliff.\n“Brat, I have sacrificed a lot in order to kill you!” Monster Emperor Baizhi’s voice rang beside Fang Zhengzhi.\n“I hit her?! There was only a ten percent chance and yet he hit her?!” Fang Zhengzhi never knew he could be so lucky.\nSo lucky such that he landed straight into Monster Emperor Baizhi’s chest. F*ck…\nIt hurt a little!\nFang Zhengzhi clearly did not have any mood to enjoy the “special treatment” because he had been strapped down by the chilling aura that Monster Emperor Baizhi exuded.\nBesides that, he could feel the pain followed by an intense numbness that flowed along his arms.\n“Lightning?!” Fang Zhengzhi saw the two lightning bolts that were inserted in his arms. They were not thick but as sharp as knives.\nWhy were the two lightning bolts inserted in his arms?\nHe did not have time to think about that. He could feel a cold gust of air on his back and another intense pain was felt on his neck.\nIt felt as though an extremely sharp object was inserted in his flesh. Along with the numbness in his arms, the agony almost killed him.\n“Bitten… I was bitten… by Monster Emperor Baizhi?!” Fang Zhengzhi did not need to turn his head to feel the strong aura beside his ears.\nIn fact, when Monster Emperor Baizhi said the sentence, his neck was completely exposed below Monster Emperor Baizhi’s sharp teeth.\nThe most painful thing in life was none other than facing the cruel reality while having a idealistic ambition.\nFang Zhengzhi thought his idea was creative and feasible. It was evident from the two lightning bolts that were inserted in his arms.\nIf he had guessed correctly, the two lightning bolts were supposed to be inserted in the right and left sides of his chest.\nIt was his last-minute decision that caused the two lightning bolts to miss the spot.\nHowever, things are unpredictable in life.\nHe only predicted half of the story. He did not expect himself to crash into Monster Emperor Baizhi, neither did he realise that Monster Emperor Baizhi was a monster.\nMonsters have teeth!\nAfter being stabbed by lightning in both his arms and bitten on his neck, Fang Zhengzhi felt as though he was completely wound up by a gigantic snake.\nAlthough he might not die immediately, he could not move his body at all.\nA single slip may cause lasting sorrow.\nOf course, having witnessed Monster Emperor Baizhi’s capabilities, he knew that he would probably have died even if he had not made such a decision.\nAfter all, Monster Emperor Baizhi would have definitely predicted that Fang Zhengzhi would dodge.\n“Auntie, although I am about to die in your mouth, I have yet to complete my sentence earlier on.

He looked blankly at the stars in the sky. As a person who was about to die, he looked lonely and sorrowful."

第八百六十七章
时间，似乎在这一刻停止。
妖帝白芷的眼睛都瞪得有些滚圆，她实在是有些不敢相信，因为，为了这一刻，她已经等了太久太久。
可是，眼前的这一幕又让她不得不相信，因为，方正直手中的剑，已经真正的刺入到了南宫浩的胸口。
妖帝白芷的口里发出一声不甘的啸声，身上雪白的绒毛长裙突然间也疯狂的摆动起来，一根根如金铁一样的白色毛发不断的在雪白绒毛长裙下长出，几乎是在一瞬间，便将妖帝白芷的身体完全覆盖。
而与此同时，妖帝白芷的眼睛也变得了碧绿，如同宝石一样的碧绿，幽幽的绿光在她的眼睛中流动着，森冷异常。
“是妖化！”
“妖帝白芷竟然妖化了？ ！”
“听说妖帝白芷极为爱美，鲜少在人前妖化，没想到，这一次，竟然当众妖化？ 九尾白狐啊，一生都不曾真正见过！”
眼看着这一幕，下方的宗门弟子们也都是极为震惊，不过，在震惊之余，他们的心里却又有着一种莫名的激动。
毕竟，在他们的心里，危机已经随着南宫浩的身死而结束，而眼前这样的一景，却是千百年来难得一见的奇景。
沐清风和墨山石却是浑身一哆嗦。
十几年前，因为天道圣碑的缘故，人类曾经与妖魔二族展开过一场大战，战况惨烈，死伤遍野。
但即使是那样的一战，妖帝白芷也并没有妖化。
可现在，堂堂圣域第一强者，妖族帝王白芷，传说中的九尾白狐神兽，竟然妖化了，这如何不让他们心里惊醒。
如果南宫浩没有死，他们现在也只能选择硬拼，因为，为了人类的未来，他们就算是死，也值得。
这就又不同了，毕竟，事情已经等于是落幕，妖帝白芷现在当众妖化，不过也就是一时情绪失控的发泄。
等到妖帝白芷冷静下来，必然就会考虑到其它的事情，比如，妖族一族的生存，到了那个时候，妖族自然就会重新退回十里大泽。
沐清风当机立断，掉头就跑，毕竟，与发了疯的妖帝白芷硬拼，实在不是一件理智的事情。
不过，作为堂堂天道阁的阁主，沐清风自然也不可能说出一个“跑”字，一句“先退”，可谓是博大精深。
“白芷，事已至此，你再挣扎也没有任何的意义！”
墨山石一脸的正气，看起来同样是凛然不侵。
“……”方正直望着一下就跑远了的沐清风和墨山石，还有妖帝白芷那双正紧紧盯在自己脸上的碧绿眼睛，他真有一句妈卖批，不知道当不当讲。
都说当英雄死得早，古人诚不欺人啊！
多么现实而又骨感的一幕，方正直真的很想时光可以倒转，他依旧还是那个躲在一边观望的善良天真小后生。
可惜的是，每个人都会有一颗当英雄的心。
方正直的心底深处同样也有，所以，不管他愿不愿意，妖帝白芷的这份怒火，他都必须要承受。
“那个老妖……噢，不对，白……伯母，其实，我和云轻舞的关系还……”方正直觉得是时候亮出真正的底牌了。
不过，妖帝白芷显然是不可能再给方正直开口的机会，身形一动，便已经直接消失在了原地。
然后，方正直就感觉背后传来一股寒意，就如同地狱索命的幽魂正在对着举起死亡的镰刀一样，冰冷，透彻。
“死去吧！” 妖帝白芷的脸上布满了细腻的绒毛，看起来极为光滑，莹莹的光华在她的身上流动着，看起来有着一种狰狞而妖异的美。
但这些显然已经不重要了。
重要的是，妖帝白芷的手上有着两道闪电，那是真正的闪电，但是，却极为凝聚，就如同两把冰冷的长刀一样。
古有记载，真正的大妖，可掌日月，手握闪电，脚踏风火，吞吐天地气息，与天地融合为一体。
方正直不知道妖帝白芷是否已经与天地融合为一体，也看不到妖帝白芷手中握着的两道闪电。
但他却知道，妖帝白芷在他的背后。
而且，从妖帝白芷那冰冷到让人心颤的语气中，他可以听得出来，那句“死去吧”，并不是玩笑。
“拼了！” 正所谓，狗急了也能跳墙，更何况是在生死瞬间，方正直一咬牙，一跺脚，身上的潜力也完全暴发出来。
妖帝白芷的速度快，他的速度，同样不慢。
正所谓，擒贼先擒王，打蛇打七寸，方正直不知道妖帝白芷的七寸在哪里，可是，他却知道一个女人的“七寸”在哪里。
对于一个女人而言，真正的忌讳，其实并不是身上的某个重要的部位，因为，没有哪个女人会没事就把那里给捂着。
所以，在很多时候，都是在被抓中后，才会真正反应过来。
但现在的情况下，方正直显然是没有时间去抓，而且，最主要的是，就算他抓中了，等妖帝白芷反应过来的时候，估计他也差不多挂了。
所以，方正直的选择并不是某种重要的部位，而是心理。
事实上，只要稍有心的人都会知道，从古至今，都有一句流传甚广的话来形容男女之间的关系，那就是“男女授受不亲”。
而这句话，在现在这个相对保守的世界中，更是深入人心。
方正直是读过《金瓶梅》的人，知识面自然比一般人要广上太多，那么，自然也知道，女人真正的忌讳其实是男人在一瞬间靠得太近。
这是一种潜意识的心理。
就比如，你在街上走啊走啊，突然一伸手，迎面抓向某女的某个部位，只要你的手够快，动作够果断，基本上会有着差不多五成的得手机会。
但如果换一种方式，你走啊走啊，突然一下子朝着某女的怀里去靠，如果不出意外，某女会有九成的可能一下子弹开，然后，大喊大声，那么，等待你的命运，差不多就是偷鸡不成，反蚀一把米了。
方正直何等的心细如发，一本《金瓶梅》翻来覆去读了不下百遍，里面一些细微的道理，自然是烂熟人心。
生死攸关，方正直也并没有太过于讲究什么礼节不礼节的了，毕竟，那玩意儿说到死，也不能当饭吃。
只有活着，才能讲礼节！
方正直动了。 在感受到身后的危机后，他第一时间便朝着身后猛的一下靠了过去，不得不说，这样的动作是真的有着神奇的效果。
跑到远处的沐清风和墨山石直接就愣住了，他们根本无法想象，方正直怎么会做出这样找死的动作？
已经因为愤怒而有些失去控制的妖帝白芷脸上明显的就呆了一下，即使，这种表情只是一闪即逝。
可妖帝白芷确实是呆了一下。
因为，她实在是有点儿没想明白，在自己盛怒的一击下，方正直为什么没有选择朝前面翻滚，或者是朝两侧闪开，甚至连抵挡都不抵挡，直接就像是一只失去方向的“迷途羔羊”一样朝着她一头撞来。
好像马上就要撞到自己的身上了？
“小子……”妖帝白芷眼看着方正直的身体距离自己越来越近，几乎就要撞到自己的怀里时，脚步也下意识的往后一退。
这是一种完全无意识的举动，就像是你看着一块石头朝着你眼睛射过来的时候，一定会马上闭眼睛一样。
岂会容一个男人，当众撞入到她的怀里？
不过，就在妖帝白芷刚刚退出一步时，脑海中也一下子突然变得清明起来。
作为神兽九尾白狐，妖帝白芷有着一个一出生便拥有的天赋，那就是，对于未知事情的超强感知。
正是因为这种感知，让她能在方正直偷袭南宫浩时第一时间反应过来，只可惜的是，她距离南宫浩实在太远了一些，虽然，她拦住了沐清风和墨山石，但是，却并没有拦住顺着神树摸上来的方正直。
一瞬间，妖帝白芷的嘴角也露出一抹淡淡的笑容，带着一种媚惑众生的妖异，同样，也有着一种冰冷的杀机。
“小子，为了让你死，本帝可是牺牲巨大啊！”
！ 十成中只有一成的机会，居然让自己给赌到了？ ！”
可万万没有想到的是，这一次，他的运气竟然可以逆天到这种地步，直接就让他与妖帝白芷撞了一个满怀。
有点儿疼啊！
现在的方正直，自然是没有任何心情去享受这种待遇，因为，妖帝白芷身上散发出来的那种森冷的寒意，已经将他紧紧的包裹了起来。
而且，最主的是，他已经可以感觉到他两只胳膊上传来极为尖锐的痛楚，强烈的麻痹感甚至朝着他的大脑中传递。
方正直终于看到了刺入自己手臂上的两道闪电，不算太粗，但是，却锋利如刀。
为什么自己的手臂上会插着两道闪电？
这个问题，方正直没有多想，因为，一道寒意已经从他的背后传了过来，同时，他也感觉到自己的后劲处再次一痛。
那是被一种极为锋利的东西刺入到血肉中的痛苦，配合着手臂上那种麻痹的感觉，痛的真的可以让一个人上天。
！” 方正直根本就不需要回头，因为，他已经可以感觉到耳边那种浓重的气息。
事实上，在妖帝白芷说出那句话的时候，他的后颈便已经完全暴露在了妖帝白芷那锋利的牙齿之下。
人生最大的痛苦，莫过于理想很丰满，现实很骨感。
方正直觉得自己的想法很新奇，而且，也充满了可行性，这一点，从刺中他手臂上的两道闪电便可以看得出来。
如果他猜得不错，那两道闪电原本应该刺的是他的左右两边胸口。
正是因为他的决定，让两道闪电最终刺歪，并没有刺得他的胸口，而是刺入了他的两只手臂上。
可是，世事难料。
他算到了前半部，却并没有算到后半部，他没有想到自己真的可以撞到妖帝白芷的怀里，更没有计算到，妖帝白芷是妖。
妖，都是有牙的！
双手被闪电刺中，后颈被妖帝白芷一口咬紧，这种感觉，就像是被一条巨蛇给完完全全的缠住一样。
虽然，不至于马上死掉，但是，身体根本连动弹都无法动弹。
一失足，成千古恨啊。
当然了，在见识到妖帝白芷的实力后，他也知道，如果刚才的自己没有做出这个决定，恐怕现在同样是一个死字。
毕竟，妖帝白芷不可能预判不到方正直躲避的动作。
“伯母，我马上就要死在你的嘴里了，但其实刚才我那句话并没有说完，我只说到我和云轻舞之间……你就把我的话给打断了，不知道伯母能不能成全我最后一个心愿，让我把那句话说完再咬死我？”
方正直的目光一暗，没有挣扎，只是呆呆的望着天际点点星辰，看起来有着一种人之将死，其言也善的落寞。

Chapter 867 - The Man Who Read
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
Monster Emperor Baizhi’s eyes widened with disbelief. She had waited forever for this moment.
However, she had to believe the scene in front of her. Fang Zhengzhi’s sword had indeed penetrated Nangong Hao’s chest.
“No!” Monster Emperor Baizhi let out an indignant howl and her white fur dress began shaking wildly. White fur that looked like metal began growing beneath the white fur dress, covering her body in a blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, Monster Emperor Baizhi’s eyes turned dark green. With the green light circulating in her eyes, she gave a chilling and mysterious glance.
“She was turning into a monster!”
“Monster Emperor Baizhi was turning into a monster?!”
“Everyone had known Monster Emperor Baizhi for her vanity. Can’t believe that she turned into a monster in public! Nine-Tailed White Fox, I have never ever seen its true form in my life!”
This scene stunned the disciples from various sects. Nevertheless, they were exhilarated as well.
After all, they thought that the ongoing crisis would have ended with Nangong Hao’s death. Yet the scene that was taking place in front of them was an extremely rare one.
On the other hand… Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi were trembling.
More than ten years ago, humankind had once engaged in a Great War with the monster race and demon race because of the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet. The war saw countless deaths.
Even in that war, Monster Emperor Baizhi did not resort to turning into a monster.
Yet now, the most powerful of the Holy Region, Monster Emperor Baizhi, the legendary Nine-Tailed White Fox, turned into a monster! This definitely was a great shock to Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi?
If Nangong Hao had not died, they could only choose to fight to their deaths. For the future of humankind, it was worth it.
Now that everything had ended, things were different. Monster Emperor Baizhi had turned into a monster in front of the public as a way to vent her anger because she had lost control of her own emotions.
When Monster Emperor Baizhi calmed down, she would consider other things such as the survival of the monster race. By then, the monster race would have to retreat to the Great Swamp again.
“Old man Mo, retreat!” Mu Qingfeng fled without hesitation. After all, it would not be a wise choice to fight with the crazy Monster Emperor Baizhi.
However, as the Pavilion Master of Heaven Dao Pavilion, Mu Qingfeng was profound enough to know that he should not use the word “run”. Therefore, he said “retreat” instead.
“Baizhi, there is no point struggling anymore!” With a face of righteousness, Mo Shanshi looked as though he was invincible.
Despite of the aura he gave from his expression, he had retreated far away without needing Mu Qingfeng’s reminder.
“…” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi who had both ran afar, as well as Monster Emperor Baizhi’s pair of dark green eyes which were staring at his face. He wanted to say ‘motherf*cker’ but hesitated.
As the ancient saying goes, Heroes die early. It was indeed true!
What a pragmatic and cruel scene. Fang Zhengzhi wished that he could rewind time and remain as the little naive afterlife bystander.
However, everyone had the ambition of becoming a hero.
Fang Zhengzhi too. Therefore, he had to bear with Monster Emperor Baizhi’s anger regardless of whether he was willing or not.
“That old monster… Oh no, I meant, white… auntie. Actually, my relationship with Yun Qingwu is rather…” Fang Zhengzhi realised that he needed to put his cards on the table.
However, Monster Emperor Baizhi did not give him a chance to speak. With a shake, she disappeared from her spot.
Then, Fang Zhengzhi felt a chilling aura coming from his back, as though the spirits from hell were holding the saber of death behind him.
“Face your death!” Monster Emperor Baizhi’s face was full of fur that looked extremely smooth. Radiance was flowing through her body, though she looked as though she was grimacing, she radiated alluring beauty.
However, that was no longer important.
The important thing was, Monster Emperor Baizhi had two lightning bolts in her hands. They were real lightning that had accumulated and took the shape of two cold and long knives.
It was recorded in historical books that a real powerful Monster could control the Sun and the Moon, hold lightning in their hands, step on wind and fire, breathe the breath of sky and earth, as well as fuse with the sky and earth.
Fang Zhengzhi was unsure if Monster Emperor Baizhi had already fused with the sky and earth, nor could he see the two lightning bolts in her hands.
But he knew that she was behind him.
Furthermore, from the chilling and terriffying tone of Monster Emperor Baizhi, he could tell that she meant it when she said “face your death”.
“Fight till the end!” As the saying goes, despair gives courage even to a coward. At this critical point of life or death, Fang Zhengzhi clenched his teeth and stomped his feet, his potential completely exploding out of his body.
Monster Emperor Baizhi was fast. Fang Zhengzhi was not slow either.
As the saying goes, capture the ringleader so as to capture all of his followers, hit where it hurts the most. Fang Zhengzhi was clueless about where Monster Emperor Baizhi’s “hurting point” was, but he knew where the “hurting point” of a woman was.
To a woman, the real taboo was not about any particular body part. Woman would not specially cover that part to protect it.
Therefore, most of the time, woman only react after they had been grabbed at that area.
In that situation, Fang Zhengzhi clearly did not have time to grab the area. Furthermore, even if he successfully grabbed it, he probably would have already died by the time Monster Emperor Baizhi reacted.
Therefore, Fang Zhengzhi decided to not target any specific body part, but rather the mindset.
In reality, anyone who was mindful would know that there had been a saying that described the relationship between a man and a woman — It is improper for the opposite sexes to come into contact with one another.
This saying was extraordinarily emphasised in this relatively conservative world.
Fang Zhengzhi had read “The Plum in the Golden Vase” before and hence understood more things than the ordinary man. Naturally, he knew that the real taboo for women was the sudden close approach of men.
This was a subconscious mindset.
For example, while walking on the streets, if you suddenly stretched out your hand to touch any part of a woman’s body, if you were fast and decisive enough, you would have at least a fifty percent chance of success.
However, if we used another method, while walking on the streets, you suddenly leaned against a woman’s chest, there is a ninety percent probability that the woman would jump away and scream. Following that, not only did you fail at completing your mission, but you would also have to face the consequences.
Fang Zhengzhi was extremely meticulous. He had flipped “The Plum in the Golden Vase” a hundred times and memorized the finest details. Regarding the actual effect…
We would find out if we try. At that point of life and death, Fang Zhengzhi no longer cared about etiquette. After all, etiquette does not guarantee your survival.
In fact, you can only talk about etiquette if you remain alive!
Fang Zhengzhi moved. After sensing the crisis awaiting behind him, he leaned backwards immediately. That action was miraculously effective.
At a far distance, Mo Shanshi and Mu Qingfeng were stunned. They never imagined Fang Zhengzhi to react in this manner. But the truth was…
When Fang Zhengzhi leaned back, Monster Emperor Baizhi, who had lost control of herself due to anger, was evidently stunned for a moment.
Even though it was just for a moment, she was stunned.
She did not understand why Fang Zhengzhi did not choose to run forward or towards the sides, but instead approached her like a lost sheep and did not even attempt to defend. Most importantly…
He was about to touch her?!
“You brat…” Monster Emperor Baizhi stepped backwards when Fang Zhengzhi was about to hit her chest.
That move was made unconsciously and instinctively, like how one instinctively closes one’s eyes when a stone flies towards them. After all, as the Monster Emperor…
How could she allow a man to crash into her chest in public?
However, at the instant when she stepped back, she suddenly realised.
As the Nine-Tailed White Fox, Monster Emperor Baizhi was gifted with an extremely strong premonition.
Because of this premonition, she was able to react almost instantaneously when Fang Zhengzhi sprung a sneak attack at Nangong Hao. Unfortunately, she was too far away from Nangong Hao. Although she had managed to block Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi, she did not manage to successfully stop Fang Zhengzhi from advancing using the Tree of God.
At that moment, her premonition gave her a sense that Fang Zhengzhi was desperately trying to survive as though he was hanging from a strand of grass at the edge of the cliff.
“Brat, I have sacrificed a lot in order to kill you!” Monster Emperor Baizhi’s voice rang beside Fang Zhengzhi.
“I hit her?! There was only a ten percent chance and yet he hit her?!” Fang Zhengzhi never knew he could be so lucky.
So lucky such that he landed straight into Monster Emperor Baizhi’s chest. F*ck…
It hurt a little!
Fang Zhengzhi clearly did not have any mood to enjoy the “special treatment” because he had been strapped down by the chilling aura that Monster Emperor Baizhi exuded.
Besides that, he could feel the pain followed by an intense numbness that flowed along his arms.
“Lightning?!” Fang Zhengzhi saw the two lightning bolts that were inserted in his arms. They were not thick but as sharp as knives.
Why were the two lightning bolts inserted in his arms?
He did not have time to think about that. He could feel a cold gust of air on his back and another intense pain was felt on his neck.
It felt as though an extremely sharp object was inserted in his flesh. Along with the numbness in his arms, the agony almost killed him.
“Bitten… I was bitten… by Monster Emperor Baizhi?!” Fang Zhengzhi did not need to turn his head to feel the strong aura beside his ears.
In fact, when Monster Emperor Baizhi said the sentence, his neck was completely exposed below Monster Emperor Baizhi’s sharp teeth.
The most painful thing in life was none other than facing the cruel reality while having a idealistic ambition.
Fang Zhengzhi thought his idea was creative and feasible. It was evident from the two lightning bolts that were inserted in his arms.
If he had guessed correctly, the two lightning bolts were supposed to be inserted in the right and left sides of his chest.
It was his last-minute decision that caused the two lightning bolts to miss the spot.
However, things are unpredictable in life.
He only predicted half of the story. He did not expect himself to crash into Monster Emperor Baizhi, neither did he realise that Monster Emperor Baizhi was a monster.
Monsters have teeth!
After being stabbed by lightning in both his arms and bitten on his neck, Fang Zhengzhi felt as though he was completely wound up by a gigantic snake.
Although he might not die immediately, he could not move his body at all.
A single slip may cause lasting sorrow.
Of course, having witnessed Monster Emperor Baizhi’s capabilities, he knew that he would probably have died even if he had not made such a decision.
After all, Monster Emperor Baizhi would have definitely predicted that Fang Zhengzhi would dodge.
“Auntie, although I am about to die in your mouth, I have yet to complete my sentence earlier on. You interrupted me before I could complete it. Before you kill me, can you please grant me my last wish to complete that sentence?”
Fang Zhengzhi did not struggle. He looked blankly at the stars in the sky. As a person who was about to die, he looked lonely and sorrowful.

Luckily, they had God General Huo Qubing in charge, so nothing big would happen.\nOuyang Shuo stood, taking a tray over from Bai Nanpu.\nOn the tray was a golden shiny armor; this was Ouyang Shuo’s previous Mingguang Armor.\n\"This armor was the armor that I wore before. Now, it is awarded to you. Do not disappoint me.\"\nThinking about it, there was nothing that held as much meaning as this armor.\nAs expected, Niu Da was emotional beyond words; he shook as he accepted the tray, putting it on the floor beside him. He thanked respectfully, “I will not forget the Monarch's good grace. I will repay you with all I have.\"\n\"Great!\" Ouyang Shuo exclaimed and said in a low tone, “Niu Da, listen to my orders!\"\n\"Yes, my Monarch!\"\nNiu Da was extremely alert.

I order you to lead the 5th division to act as a vanguard to meet up with the Dragon Legion Corps.\" Ouyang Shuo's words shocked everyone.\nDisturbing the border was just a random reason he had found.\nOf course, it could not be considered a lie.\nAfter all, at his position, he could not say any lies.\nSpeaking of which, this was a special incident Baiqi, the Military Intelligence Division, and the Honglu Temple had planned ago.\nA month ago, the Lord of Qiubei City in Mengding Prefecture had led his troops to invade Zhen An Prefecture, killing 300 residents, destroying two villages before escaping back to his territory.\nWhen Baiqi, who was in charge of the west border, heard the news, he was furious and ordered the person to be dealt with.\nAs Qiubei City was a member of the Yunnan City-State, the city-state naturally took responsibility for his actions.\nBaiqi wrote a letter to request them to hand over the problem maker but nothing had been done.\nWith that, matters had dragged on.

You will lead the Guards Legion to bring resources to the Dragon Legion Corps base to meet.\" Ouyang Shuo's expression was a little weird.\nThe desire for battle in his eyes was too sharp and strong. Hence, after ordering him to lead the Guards Legion, Ouyang Shuo decided to store this god general in ice.\nWith that, the famous, genius general that millions of girls loved had disappeared from the view of players, hidden in the deep palaces of the imperial city away from everyone.\nThere was a period of time where people even protested against Ouyang Shuo's actions toward him.\n\"Huo Huo is mine!\"\n\"Give me back my Huo Huo!\"\nSimilar grumbles and complaints did not stop at all.\n‘Huo Huo support team’ had become one of the strongest supporters of him online on the forums. The Black Snake Guards even found out that Bai Hua was a core member.\nWhen Ouyang Shuo heard the news, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed like Huo Qubing had truly dazzled her. Who knows what waves Huo Qubing would cause when he headed to the Yunnan Battlefield this time. \"Yes, my Monarch!\"\nIn any battle, the front general was the vanguard, and this matched like his personality. The genius general in history finally had a chance to show his skills. ……\nThe court assembly had ended up as a pre-war battle mobilization. Without a doubt, the moment this ended, the news of Shanhai City declaring war on Yunnan City-State would spread across the entire China region.\nAt that time, the entire Nanjiang would be shaken and everyone would be alerted. This was Ouyang Shuo's purpose.\nThe Guards Legion rushing to the Dragon Legion Corps base needed them to pass through three prefectures of land, so it would take close to half a month.\nHence, the true war would not start so quickly.\nHence, the Monarch making such a big deal about the mobilization surprised everyone. Normally speaking, wouldn’t quietly mobilizing the troops and launching a sneak attack be better?\nOn the contrary, Du Ruhui and the others were expressionless.\nThis plan was not something Ouyang Shuo had come up with on the spot but was raised after careful consideration by the Military Affairs Bureau.\nAfter settling the troops issue, Ouyang Shuo changed the topic, “Summon Liu Mo!\"\nLiu Mo walked in and bowed, “Greetings, Monarch!\"\n\"You can begin!\"\nLiu Mo nodded, clapping his hands toward the outer door.\nInstantly, the Divine Martial Guard in charge of guarding the Governor-General Manor carried a steam engine, a sewing machine, and a blackboard into the hall.\n\"What's that?\"\nLooking at such this ‘monster’, the civil servants all looked at it curiously, not knowing what in the world it was.\nWhen Ouyang Shuo heard their questions, he sighed in his heart.\nShanhai City's civil servant and general formation was so dazzling; however, it was still lacking.\nNo matter if it was civil servants like Xiao He or generals like Huo Qubing, they were all unfamiliar with technology. Apart from Zhang Tingyu, who had seen western technology, probably only the Taiping Army generals had.\nEven so, they still did not have a clear idea about industrialization. Their thinking still stopped at the age of following the thinking and ideals of the king.\nThey had no knowledge about the uses of technology and the effects it could cause and have.\nAs a result, the industrialization of the territory had been proceeding slowly, making Ouyang Shuo displeased. One problem was the officials not understanding industrialization.\nNow with the steam engine, sewing machine, and even the flying device crafting technique, it was the best time to industrialize. In the future period of time, territory finances, territory funds, and more would all pour toward it.\nWith that, Ouyang Shuo needed all the officials to realize the importance. After all, the ones taking action were them. If their thinking was not open, industrialization could not even start.\nOuyang Shuo could not actually replace all of them with players, right?\nThat was not practical.\n……\nLiu Mo was a technology nerd. Even in the imperial court, he did not dare to speak any false words. With a blackboard, he started to give all the ministers an eye-opening popular science lecture.\nIn terms of theory, Liu Mo had extremely deep skill. Furthermore, he was not a dull person and knew that he was teaching novices, so he started from the basics before going deeper in.\nAlong with practical aspect and diagrams, his lecture was extremely easy to understand.\nSuch a scene could be said to have opened up the ancient generation to the new world."

第六百八十六章
欧阳朔临朝第一件事，就是敕封，以示祥瑞。
稍倾，一位身材魁梧的武将快步进殿，头都不敢抬，“刷”的一下，单膝跪地，双手抱拳，粗声粗气地拜道：“末将牛达，拜见君上。”
声音中，带着一丝颤抖。
牛达只是龙骧军中的一位普通营正，搁以前，他是绝没有机会出现在朝堂之上的，更不用说是领地第一次朝会，第一个被君上召见之人。
仅凭此一点，就够牛达吹嘘一辈子了。
欧阳朔示意柏南浦宣召。
柏南浦会意，取出一早准备好的诏书，“君上诏令，武状元牛达，勇冠三军，特敕封为五品昭武将军，同时擢升为禁卫军团第五师团师团长，即刻生效。”
牛达脸上闪过一阵狂喜，纳头再拜：“谢君上恩典！”
这位耿直的军中汉子，丝毫没有掩饰其兴奋之情。 让在场的一众老狐狸大臣们见了，摇头而笑，有赞赏的，也有鄙夷的。
军中武状元晋升为师团长，是军务总署署长杜如晦在大比武之前，早就承诺了的。 只是具体安排到哪个军团任职，则由君上亲自定夺。
杜如晦之前的意见，是将牛达调入龙骧军第二军团任职。 毕竟牛达出身龙骧军，在第二军团任职障碍会小一点。
营正到师团长，可是一个质的飞跃。
说白了，营正带兵主要用武力震慑，到了师团长靠的可就是脑子。 牛达一下串升上去，中间跳过旅帅的历练，还真不一定能搞的定。
杜如晦此举，算是稳妥之策。 欧阳朔却是有新想法，刚好禁卫军团第五师团的师团长一职空缺。
禁卫军团，领地王牌军团。
禁卫军团的师团长，其分量又岂是一般的师团长能比拟的。
如此，也就难怪牛达会如此狂喜了，晋升师团长牛达已是连跳两级，进入禁卫军团任职，无疑是一步登天。
至于能否胜任的问题，暂时还不在牛达的考虑范畴。 在牛达眼中，军中谁拳头大，谁就是老大，哪个敢不服，他就打到对方服为止。
这就是牛达的军中逻辑，简单、粗暴，有时又很有效。
接下来一段时间的第五师团，想来会发生一些有趣之事。 好在上面有神将霍去病坐镇，该当不会出什么大问题。
欧阳朔起身，从柏南浦手中接过一个托盘。
托盘之上，摆着一套金光闪闪的铠甲，正是欧阳朔换下的明光铠。
“此铠甲乃孤此前披挂之甲，现赏赐于你，切莫辜负孤之期望。”
想来想去，也没有比这套铠甲更具象征意义的了。
果然，牛达激动的语无伦次，颤巍巍地双手接过托盘，放在身侧地上，恭恭敬敬地谢恩：“君上之赐，末将断不敢忘，必肝脑涂地，以报君上。”
“好！” 欧阳朔一声赞叹，沉声说道：“牛达听令！”
“谨遵上令！”
牛达毫不含糊，作为全军武状元，他最不缺的就是胆气。 又是在这样的氛围下，就算君上让他率部攻打王城，牛达都不带皱眉头的。
“【云南城邦】犯我边境，罪不可恕。 令你率领禁卫军团第五师团，以为先锋，前往龙骧军驻地集合。” 欧阳朔语出惊人。
犯境之说，不过是欧阳朔找的一个由头。
当然，也算不上杜撰。
毕竟到了欧阳朔这个境界，是不屑说谎的。
说起来，那还是白起、军情司以及鸿胪寺共同策划的一场“特殊事件”。
月前，孟定郡丘北城领主突然率部，侵犯镇安郡边境，杀伤镇安郡百姓三百余人，毁掉两座村落，跟着便逃回领地。
负责镇守领地西境的白起将军得到消息，当即震怒，下令惩治凶手。
奈何丘北城是【云南城邦】成员，它犯了事，自然由城邦扛着。
白起致函，要求【云南城邦】交出凶手，一直未果。
如此，事情就这样拖了下来。 除了当事人，都快忘了这事。
没想到欧阳朔刚一回来，就旧事重提，在诸位大臣没有反应过来之时，悍然向【云南城邦】宣战。 其中用意，实在耐人寻味。
“诺！”
来到领地，霍去病只率部在星州郡小试牛刀，就再无机会征战沙场。
他所期盼的大战终于来临。
“此番征讨【云南城邦】，以上将军白起为主将，你为前将军。 着你率领禁卫军团押送物资，随后跟上，前往龙骧军驻地集合。”
霍去病锋芒毕露，过于刚强。 因此，在任命霍去病统领禁卫军团之后，欧阳朔就有意无意地将这位神将雪藏了起来。
如此，名动天下，惹万千少女喜欢的天才将领，一下就消失在玩家视野，隐在王城的深宫大院中，无人得见。
有一段时间，论坛上甚至出现抗议，抗议欧阳朔的雪藏行为。
“霍霍是我们的！”
“还我霍霍！”
类似的声讨，就没有断过。
“霍霍后援团”更是成了论坛上最热门的后援团之一，据黑蛇卫侦查到的情报，白桦竟是该后援团的核心成员。
欧阳朔听到消息，是哭笑不得，看来白桦还真是霍去病的迷妹啊。 也不知道，此番霍去病前往云南战场，又将引起怎样的波澜。 “谨遵上令！”
霍去病却是没多想，爽快接诏。 但凡大战中，前将军就是前锋，跟霍去病的秉性正好吻合。
不用怀疑，朝会一结束，山海城向【云南城邦】宣战的消息，就会传遍整个中国区。
等到那时，整个南疆都会为之震动，犹如八级地震一般，惊动四方。
禁卫军团要赶往龙骧军驻地，需要穿过廉州郡、浔州郡以及镇安郡三郡之地，至少需要半个月的时间。
即如此，君上如此高调发兵，就让一众文臣有些不解。
正常来讲，该是悄悄调动大军，等一切布置妥当，再发起突袭才是。
倒是杜如晦等人，神情淡然。
此方案并非欧阳朔临时起意，而是军务总署仔细谋划之结果，自有深意。
议罢出兵之事，欧阳朔话风一转，接着说道：“宣刘默！”
刘默进来，同样躬身行礼，“拜见君上！”
“诺！”
刘默点头，向门外拍了拍手。
顿时，负责把守都护府的神武卫们，气喘吁吁地抬着一台蒸汽机、一台织布机以及一块黑板走进大殿。
“这是什么？”
见着这样的“怪物”，一众大臣莫名其妙，一脸茫然。
欧阳朔见了，心中一叹。
山海城的文臣武将阵容，堪称豪华，即便如此，也有不足之处。
无论是萧何等文臣，还是霍去病等武将，对科技一词，可是陌生的紧。 除了张廷玉，真正见识过洋人科技的，怕是只有太平军降将了。
欧阳朔的远洋航行，让萧何等人对世界有了全新的认识。 即便如此，他们对工业革命，还是没有一个清晰的概念。
他们对科技对生产力的推动作用，基本没什么认知。
正是如此，领地推进的工业化一直进展缓慢，让欧阳朔大为不满。 其根源，就在于领地的一众大臣对工业化不了解。
现在领地有了蒸汽机、织布机，甚至是飞行器制造技术，正是大力发展工业的时机。 未来一段时间，领地财政、政策、资源等等，都必须向工业倾斜。
毕竟真正做事的，还是下面的这一帮大臣们。 如果他们的思想不开放，领地工业化就无从谈起。
欧阳朔总不能将他们撤换了，让玩家顶上吧？
！
那更不现实。
刘默是个技术宅，即便是在朝堂也没什么虚话。 就着小黑板，开始给诸位大臣上课，一场别开生面的科普讲座。
讲道理，刘默的功底还是非常深厚的。 而且他也不是个死板之人，知道“上课”的都是一群小白，整场讲座由浅入深。
再配上实物和手绘图纸，越发生动。
如此场面，也算得上是古代背景下，开天辟地头一回了。

Chapter 686-Popular Science Lecture
First, Ouyang Shuo granted the title to show auspiciousness.
After a moment, a burly general strolled into the hall; he did not even dare to raise his head. With a Shua! he knelt on one foot, cupping his fists and greeting, “I am Niu Da, greetings Monarch."
His voice trembled.
Niu Da was just a normal major in the Dragon Legion Corps. Before this, he had never expected to have the chance to appear here. Not to mention to be the first person the Lord summoned in the 1st court assembly.
Just that point alone was enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.
"Please rise!" Ouyang Shuo signaled to Bai Nanpu.
Bai Nanpu understood; he took out the prepared decree and read, “The Monarch decrees, martial genius Niu Da, champion of the three armies, awarded grade 5 title Zhaowu General, promoted to major general of the 5th division of the Guards Legion, effective immediately."
Elation flashed across his face as he kowtowed, “Thank you Monarch for your good grace!"
This honest military man did not even try to hide his excitement. His open emotions caused the old foxes present to shake their heads; some admired him, and some looked down on him.
The martial genius receiving a promotion to major general was Du Ruhui’s promise before the competition. As for the specifics of the division they would go to, the Monarch would make the choice.
Du Ruhui had suggested to send him to the 2nd legion of the Dragon Legion Corps. After all, he was from the Dragon Legion, so he would face less obstacles there.
From major to major general, it was a massive leap.
Majors led men, and they needed to use their strength as a deterrence. At the major general level, one had to use their brains. Niu Da skipping the ranks meant that he had jumped over the colonel training. Du Ruhui's plan was to play safe.
However, Ouyang Shuo had another idea. Coincidentally, the 5th division of the Guards Legion lacked a major general. As such, why not send him there as an example for the whole army?
The Guards Legion was the trump card legion of the entire territory.
The ability of the major generals there was not something that other major generals could compare to.
Hence, it was no wonder that Niu Da would feel so delighted. Upgrading to major general was already a promotion of two levels and entering the Guards Legion was all the more an honor; it was like taking a step up to the heavens.
As for whether or not he could live up to expectations, it temporarily was not on his mind. In his eyes, the military was about whose fist was the biggest; the person with the bigger fist would be the boss. If you did not like someone, beat them up until they submit.
This was also his military logic, simple, violent, and sometimes rather effective.
In the following period, the 5th division would experience many interesting matters. Luckily, they had God General Huo Qubing in charge, so nothing big would happen.
Ouyang Shuo stood, taking a tray over from Bai Nanpu.
On the tray was a golden shiny armor; this was Ouyang Shuo’s previous Mingguang Armor.
"This armor was the armor that I wore before. Now, it is awarded to you. Do not disappoint me."
Thinking about it, there was nothing that held as much meaning as this armor.
As expected, Niu Da was emotional beyond words; he shook as he accepted the tray, putting it on the floor beside him. He thanked respectfully, “I will not forget the Monarch's good grace. I will repay you with all I have."
"Great!" Ouyang Shuo exclaimed and said in a low tone, “Niu Da, listen to my orders!"
"Yes, my Monarch!"
Niu Da was extremely alert. As the martial genius of the entire army, he did not lack courage. Under such an atmosphere, even if the Lord asked him to attack an imperial city, he would not even frown.
"Yunnan City-State has disturbed our border and cannot be forgiven. I order you to lead the 5th division to act as a vanguard to meet up with the Dragon Legion Corps." Ouyang Shuo's words shocked everyone.
Disturbing the border was just a random reason he had found.
Of course, it could not be considered a lie.
After all, at his position, he could not say any lies.
Speaking of which, this was a special incident Baiqi, the Military Intelligence Division, and the Honglu Temple had planned ago.
A month ago, the Lord of Qiubei City in Mengding Prefecture had led his troops to invade Zhen An Prefecture, killing 300 residents, destroying two villages before escaping back to his territory.
When Baiqi, who was in charge of the west border, heard the news, he was furious and ordered the person to be dealt with.
As Qiubei City was a member of the Yunnan City-State, the city-state naturally took responsibility for his actions.
Baiqi wrote a letter to request them to hand over the problem maker but nothing had been done.
With that, matters had dragged on. Apart from the people involved, everyone quickly forgot about the incident.
Niu Da did not think about anything else; he only wished to contribute on the battlefield and not let the Monarch down. After receiving his reward, he backed off to the last row of the generals.
"General!"
After coming to the territory, Huo Qubing had only managed to lead the troops in the Xingzhou Prefecture; he had not had the chance to enter the battlefield.
The great war he had hoped for had finally arrived.
"During this battle against Yunnan City-State, Baiqi will act as the main general while you will be the front general. You will lead the Guards Legion to bring resources to the Dragon Legion Corps base to meet." Ouyang Shuo's expression was a little weird.
The desire for battle in his eyes was too sharp and strong. Hence, after ordering him to lead the Guards Legion, Ouyang Shuo decided to store this god general in ice.
With that, the famous, genius general that millions of girls loved had disappeared from the view of players, hidden in the deep palaces of the imperial city away from everyone.
There was a period of time where people even protested against Ouyang Shuo's actions toward him.
"Huo Huo is mine!"
"Give me back my Huo Huo!"
Similar grumbles and complaints did not stop at all.
‘Huo Huo support team’ had become one of the strongest supporters of him online on the forums. The Black Snake Guards even found out that Bai Hua was a core member.
When Ouyang Shuo heard the news, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed like Huo Qubing had truly dazzled her. Who knows what waves Huo Qubing would cause when he headed to the Yunnan Battlefield this time. "Yes, my Monarch!"
In any battle, the front general was the vanguard, and this matched like his personality. The genius general in history finally had a chance to show his skills. ……
The court assembly had ended up as a pre-war battle mobilization. Without a doubt, the moment this ended, the news of Shanhai City declaring war on Yunnan City-State would spread across the entire China region.
At that time, the entire Nanjiang would be shaken and everyone would be alerted. This was Ouyang Shuo's purpose.
The Guards Legion rushing to the Dragon Legion Corps base needed them to pass through three prefectures of land, so it would take close to half a month.
Hence, the true war would not start so quickly.
Hence, the Monarch making such a big deal about the mobilization surprised everyone. Normally speaking, wouldn’t quietly mobilizing the troops and launching a sneak attack be better?
On the contrary, Du Ruhui and the others were expressionless.
This plan was not something Ouyang Shuo had come up with on the spot but was raised after careful consideration by the Military Affairs Bureau.
After settling the troops issue, Ouyang Shuo changed the topic, “Summon Liu Mo!"
Liu Mo walked in and bowed, “Greetings, Monarch!"
"You can begin!"
Liu Mo nodded, clapping his hands toward the outer door.
Instantly, the Divine Martial Guard in charge of guarding the Governor-General Manor carried a steam engine, a sewing machine, and a blackboard into the hall.
"What's that?"
Looking at such this ‘monster’, the civil servants all looked at it curiously, not knowing what in the world it was.
When Ouyang Shuo heard their questions, he sighed in his heart.
Shanhai City's civil servant and general formation was so dazzling; however, it was still lacking.
No matter if it was civil servants like Xiao He or generals like Huo Qubing, they were all unfamiliar with technology. Apart from Zhang Tingyu, who had seen western technology, probably only the Taiping Army generals had.
Even so, they still did not have a clear idea about industrialization. Their thinking still stopped at the age of following the thinking and ideals of the king.
They had no knowledge about the uses of technology and the effects it could cause and have.
As a result, the industrialization of the territory had been proceeding slowly, making Ouyang Shuo displeased. One problem was the officials not understanding industrialization.
Now with the steam engine, sewing machine, and even the flying device crafting technique, it was the best time to industrialize. In the future period of time, territory finances, territory funds, and more would all pour toward it.
With that, Ouyang Shuo needed all the officials to realize the importance. After all, the ones taking action were them. If their thinking was not open, industrialization could not even start.
Ouyang Shuo could not actually replace all of them with players, right?
That was not practical.
……
Liu Mo was a technology nerd. Even in the imperial court, he did not dare to speak any false words. With a blackboard, he started to give all the ministers an eye-opening popular science lecture.
In terms of theory, Liu Mo had extremely deep skill. Furthermore, he was not a dull person and knew that he was teaching novices, so he started from the basics before going deeper in.
Along with practical aspect and diagrams, his lecture was extremely easy to understand.
Such a scene could be said to have opened up the ancient generation to the new world.

"value": "Chapter 11 - Clear Stream Restaurant\nSwish! Swish!\nSword light flowed out like a stream, and the fierce and sharp sword qi flew out in a spray that spattered towards the surroundings, emitting strands of sharp whistling sounds as it rent the air.\nChen Hao held a sword in his left hand, his small face filled with a steadfast expression and a gaze as calm as still water. His thin and small figure was enclosed within dense sword silhouettes; the Minor Skystar Sword Technique that he’d learnt from the Skystar Institution was executed by him with precise and skilful moves that fluttered about agilely. His movements were smooth and natural as he dripped with sweat and executed the technique to his heart’s content.\nChen Xi’s expression was in an endless trance as he looked at his younger brother, as if he’d returned to 5 years ago.\nAt that time, he too was steadfast and persistent like this, infatuated with the cultivation of his swordsmanship, as every move of the sword technique was repeatedly trained by him millions upon millions of times without the slightest feeling of disinterest or exhaustion.\nEvery time this moment occurred, his grandfather would stand at the side without saying a word and only looked at him with a smile, his wrinkled face filled with gratification.\nGrandfather’s mood at that time was probably the same as mine now?\nChen Xi’s mood was complicated and difficult to put into words as he gazed at this younger brother’s figure that practiced his swordsmanship under the sunlight.\n“Good! Your sword technique has already reached the advanced-stage. What’s rare is because he’s wielding the sword with the left hand, the sword moves have a trace of both unpredictability and diversity. With a little bit of tempering, he’d definitely become an outstanding talent!”\nMeng Kong clapped as he praised highly, and a rare trace of admiration was revealed on his firm expression.\nIf one were to say that Meng Kong only decided to test Chen Hao out of fear of hurting Bai Wanqing’s feelings, then now his heart was in admiration of the thin and weak youth who wielded a sword in his left hand.\nHe saw the staunchness and persistence towards the sword in Chen Hao, the most basic quality to become a qualified sword cultivator. Especially since Chen Hao was only 12 now, and yet he was still able to attain the advanced-stage in his sword technique. With time, such extraordinary talent was bound to journey further on the path of the Dao of the sword!\nBai Wanqing secretly heaved a sigh of relief. As she gazed at Chen Hao, she felt a sense of honour because of him. She knew how harsh Meng Kong’s conditions were for disciple selections, and being able to receive generous praise from him was enough for Chen Hao to be proud of!\nChen Xi kept silent as they walked out of the Pine Mist Institution.\nHe was naturally extremely happy that his younger brother had become the disciple of Instructor Meng Kong and a member of the Pine Mist Institution as expected. However, he felt a slight headache when he thought of how the Pine Mist Institutions yearly tuition fee was 4,000 spirit stones.\nEven if he were to not eat nor drink, he would probably be unable to pay the tuition by merely relying upon talisman crafting. Looks like I must look for another path to earn spirit stones.\n“You should be happy. The Pine Mist Institution isn’t a place anyone can enter, and there might not even be 1 in 1,000 that are able to become the disciple of Instructor Meng. Chen Hao will be able to tap into even more latent potential when training his swordsmanship with Instructor Meng, and it’s extremely beneficial for his future path as a sword cultivator.”\nBai Wanqing seemed to have discerned Chen Xi’s thoughts and laughed, “As for spirit stones, you don’t have to worry. I’ll lend you some first, just return it to me later on.”\nChen Xi shook his head, “That won’t do. Senior Meng agreeing to allow me to repay the tuition fees at the end of the year has already been a great help to me. I plan to find another job, and strive to gather the 4,000 by the end of the year.”\nBai Wanqing let out a laugh and didn’t force him, then said, “Besides talisman crafting, what else do you plan to do?”\nChen Xi pondered before saying, “Naturally the more money it earns, the better.”\n“Oh,” Bai Wanqing said. She pondered for some time, then her eyes abruptly lit up, “Why don’t you come to Clear Stream Restaurant? Aren’t you skilled in talisman crafting? The controlling of spirit flames ought to be easy for you to learn. I know a spirit chef that still doesn’t have a disciple until today, why don’t you go give it a try? Once you become a spirit chef apprentice, earning 30 spirit stones a day wouldn’t be difficult. If you’re able to undertake cooking alone, you’d be completely able to earn even more spirit stones.”\nBai Wanqing had a smile on her face as she stared angrily and said, “Don’t look down on spirit chefs. The dishes that every spirit chef cooks are not only superb in flavour, but also possess various wonderful effects. For example, stabilizing the Dao foundation, strengthening True Essence, healing injuries… Every one of those wealthy clans possess their own exclusive spirit chef to serve them, with a status that is no different in the slightest to a talisman master.”\nChen Xi was startled, “Then, aren’t spirit chefs extremely similar to alchemists?”\nBai Wanqing let out a laugh, “Exactly, both require being able to understand the properties of various medicinal materials by heart, and both require spirit flames to control the process. But they both still have differences. the spirit chef attaches importance to the taste and its effects are only supplementary; the alchemist attaches importance to effects, but instead never considers taste. If one were to judge which is superior, then it would depend on their standards.”\nBai Wanqing smiled happily as she said, “You’ll definitely be fine. Wielding a brush to craft talismans requires wrist strength, wielding the ladle and cutting up ingredients requires wrist strength as well; the combination of ink requires balancing various materials according to proportions and the cooking of dishes is similarly so. The only thing you have to pay attention to is the control of spirit flames, but you draw talismans throughout the year and are skilled in precise control. Thus, controlling the spirit flames wouldn’t be too difficult for you.”\nChen Xi however never expected that Bai Wanqing would look so favourably upon him, and couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. How was he skilled at crafting talismans when he’d only mastered various first-grade basic talismans now?\n“Let’s go, I’ll take you over right now,” Bai Wanqing said excitedly.\n“Uh, now?” Chen Xi felt extremely conflicted, as he still hadn’t thanked Bai Wanqing for the matter of his younger brother entering Pine Mist Institution earlier and now he had to trouble her again. Even if his face was even thicker, he would still find it slightly embarrassing.\nBai Wanqing was stupefied momentarily, and looked in amazement at the embarrassed and uncomfortable youth before her. This was still the first time she’d seen such a rich change in Chen Xi’s expression, and he completely lacked the sedate and stiff aura from before.\n“If he wasn’t forced by life, Chen Xi would probably be a cheerful and optimistic youth, right? How else could he possibly keep a straight face as he rushed about all day for the sake of maintaining his family’s livelihood?”\nThe Clear Stream Restaurant was built at the riverside, and its construction was refined and exquisite with superb style. Three 3 leaf spirit chefs personally attended to the cooking, and it possessed the reputation of being the number 1 restaurant within Pine Mist City.\nBai Wanqing was a kitchen assistant within the Clear Stream Restaurant that specialized in purchasing ingredients.\nThe rear kitchen of the Clear Stream Restaurant was situated at the back of the restaurant, and row after row of bright and clean stoves were spread out in a range of around 330m. Freshly purchased pieces of spirit birds and demon beast’s meat, produce and grains that emitted traces of spirit energy, bottles and containers that contained exotic seasonings… Various materials related to delicacies filled the entire kitchen in orderly placements.\nApprentices were busy at every corner, some were using spirit flames to cure and smoke meat, some used knives to peel and cut produce and some were combining seasonings. Before the stoves were strands of spirit flames in various colors that continuously gushed out, and youth spirit chef apprentices wielded their ladles and lifted their woks as they cooked semi-finished dishes one after the other.\nChen Xi, who followed behind Bai Wanqing, couldn’t help but be shocked in his heart the moment he walked into the rear kitchen and saw such a magnificent scene. It was the first time he’d seen a kitchen of such scale.\n“Let’s go, we’re going to the 2nd floor.” Without wasting any time here, Bai Wanqing brought Chen Xi along the nearby staircase to walk up the 2nd floor.\n“The 1st floor is where the various ingredients are prepared and the 2nd floor is where the three spirit chefs cook delicacies.” Bai Wanqing explained as they walked, “The spirit chef I spoke of is surnamed Ma, and everyone calls him old man Ma. His character is slightly strange, but he’s a very kind person. You better nicely show off your skills when you see him later.”\nChen Xi silently nodded.\n“Little Bai? Why’re you talking behind my back, little girl? Be careful or I might ask the boss to fire you.” A hoarse voice that was unpleasant to hear sounded from within the room in 2nd floor, seeming to be enraged and yet revealing a joking tone.\nChen Xi shot a glance at the nearby Bai Wanqing, as a weird feeling emerged in his heart. Aunt Bai’s daughter was already 6, but this old man Ma instead called her Little Bai; he was practically an old man who didn’t know how to conduct himself.\nBai Wanqing noticed Chen Xi’s gaze and secretly was extremely embarrassed and angry. If she’d known that this would happen earlier, she wouldn’t have brought Chen Xi here. But when she thought about how old man Ma was a person who said everything on his mind, she dropped it.\nShe led Chen Xi to push the door and enter, and what entered their eyes was actually a scene that was like a paradise away from the world.\nThe blue sky was like silk, with white clouds like cotton and a path that twisted and turned between the surrounding flowers, trees, and thick grass. At the end of the path stood an impressive jade-green bamboo pavilion that was concealed within cedar trees and green pine trees.\nIllusion formation! Chen Xi’s gaze lingered for a moment, practically instantly discerning that everything before him were illusions formed by a formation.\nA scene so picturesque that’s absolutely lifelike, such an illusion formation probably must be placed by a Grand Talisman Formation Master that’s skilled in illusion formations, right?\nInfinite wonder couldn’t help but be aroused within Chen Xi’s heart as he breathed the delicate fragrance of flowers and trees in the air. Only one that was above a ninth-grade talisman master could be called a talisman formation master. Currently, he was only a first-grade talisman master, and he couldn’t help but wonder when he’d be able to attain such heights.\n“This is a Jadesky Flower Formation, a low-grade illusion formation, and it contains life-threatening dangers hidden within. Carefully follow behind me, don’t move about arbitrarily.” Bai Wanqing instructed in a low voice before walking forward on the winding path.\nChen Xi’s heart jumped and he followed behind Bai Wanqing step by step, not daring to be careless in the slightest.\nTalisman masters and the talismans they crafted were divided into 9 grades. Above the ninth-grade talisman master was the talisman formation master, and the talisman formations crafted by them were divided into the low-grade, intermediate-grade, and high-grade.\nAccording to Chen Xi’s knowledge, a graded illusion formation was sufficient to cause a Violet Palace Realm cultivator to not dare go one step beyond its boundaries. The Jadesky Flower Formation before him undoubtedly possessed such a formidable lethality. How would he dare act rashly?\nThe scene changed once again when he stepped into the jade-green bamboo pavilion. The entire room was extremely simple, and only three stoves were placed within. There was nothing else present within, and it was completely incomparable to a strand of that beautiful kitchen from earlier.\nAt this moment, an old man, a man, and a woman stood before the three stoves as they cooked with skilled movements. Behind the three, an almost lifelike puppet quietly stood there holding a round tray in its hand, and placed on top of the tray were a great variety of various ingredients.\nAlong with a resonant whistle, the man that stood behind a stove raised his head and greeted Bai Wanqing while smiling broadly, “Hi, pretty lady Bai.”\nThis tall and handsome man was dressed like a gentleman and had a pair of sword shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, the corners of his mouth lightly curled up and a trace of a charming smile hung there.\n“What a young and handsome youth! This big sister is drooling at the sight of him. Mmm, little sister Wanqing, is this your lover?” Behind the other stove, the enchanting woman clad in a fiery red dress raised her head. Her hot and graceful figure had a pair of soft breasts that stood tall and erect, and her watery eyes were shaped like a petal of a peach blossom while staring straight at Chen Xi as her charming and beautiful face revealed an attractive smile.\nBefore the last stove, an old man who was skinny like a monkey glared as he struck the ladle in his hand and shouted loudly, “Get back to work!”"

第十一章
嗤嗤！
匹练似的剑光流转，凌厉锋锐的剑气飞洒四溅，割裂空气发出缕缕尖啸之音。
陈昊左手持剑，瘦小的身影包裹在濛濛剑影之中，他的小脸一片坚定，双眸冷静如水，一手学自天星学府的《小天星剑诀》被他施展至极致，招式娴熟精准，飘渺灵动，动作流畅自然，酣然淋漓。
看着场中的弟弟，陈汐神色恍惚不已，仿似回到了五年前。
那时，自己也如此坚定执着，如此醉心于剑术修炼，一招招剑诀被自己重复练习千万次，也丝毫不感觉枯燥疲惫。
每当此时，爷爷便会站在一旁，也不说话，只是笑眯眯地看着自己，满是皱纹的脸上尽是欣慰之色。
爷爷那时的心情，大概跟自己现在一样吧？
看着弟弟在阳光下练剑的身影，陈汐的心情复杂难言。
“好！ 此等剑术已达知微地步，难得的是以左手用剑，剑招之间兼备了一丝诡谲莫测之机，稍加磨练，必成大器！”
蒙空抚掌赞叹，坚毅的脸颊上罕见地流露出一丝欣赏之色。
若说之前是碍于情面，蒙空才决定考核陈昊，那么现在，他的内心已被这个左手用剑的瘦弱少年折服。
在陈昊身上，他看到了对剑的坚定与执着，这是成为一名合格剑修的最基本素质，尤其是陈昊如今才只十二岁，已然把剑法臻至知微之境，如此超凡的材质，假以时日，注定能在剑道上走得更远！
白婉晴暗自松了口气，看着场中的陈昊，与有荣焉。 她可是知道蒙空择徒的条件有多么苛刻，能够得到他毫不吝啬的赞美，陈昊足以自豪！
走出松烟学府，陈汐默然不语。
弟弟不出预料地成为蒙空教习的弟子，成为松烟学府的一员，他自然极为高兴，不过，一想到松烟学府每年的学费足足要四千颗元石，他便有点头疼。
单靠制符哪怕不吃不喝，恐怕也交不起这笔学府看来，自己必须得令寻一条赚取元石的路了。
“你应该高兴才对，松烟学府可不是谁都能进的，而能成为蒙教习的弟子，更是千中无一，陈昊跟着他修习剑术，可以挖掘出更大的潜能，对他以后的剑修之路极为有利。”
白婉晴似是看出陈汐心思，笑道：“至于元石，你不用担心，我先借给你一些，以后还我就是了。”
陈汐摇头道：“那怎么行，刚才蒙前辈答应年底补上学费，已经帮了我一个大忙。 我打算另找一份工作，争取年底前挣够四千颗元石。”
白婉晴笑了笑，也不勉强，说道：“除了制符，你打算再做些什么呢？”
陈汐沉吟道：“自然是越赚钱越好。”
白婉晴噢了一声，思索许久，猛地眼睛一亮：“要不你来清溪酒楼吧，你不是擅长制符么，操控灵火应该很容易入手，我认识一位灵厨师至今没有徒弟，要不你去试一试，一旦成为灵厨学徒，每天赚上三十块元石应该不难。 若是能独当一面，完全可以赚更多的元石。”
陈汐犹疑道：“厨子？” 白婉晴笑嗔道：“可不要小觑灵厨师，每一位灵厨师烹饪出的饭菜，不但口味上佳，且具备各种奇妙的功效，例如磐固道基、增强真元、治愈伤病……那些财大气粗的家族，无不拥有专门的灵厨师为之服务，地位丝毫不再符箓师之下。”
白婉晴笑道：“的确如此，两者都需对各种材料的属性了然于心，都需要灵火去操作。
不过两者还是有区别的，灵厨师重在口感，以功效为辅助；炼丹师以功效为重，却从来不考虑口感。 若说两者孰优孰劣，就看各自水平如何了。” 陈汐恍然，想了想，终于做出决定：“那我就去试一试吧。”
白婉晴笑吟吟道：“你肯定行的，运笔制符需要腕力，掂勺切菜也需要腕力，符墨调配需要各种材料按比例均衡，烹饪的饭菜也同样如此，唯一要注意的便是灵火的掌控，不过你常年绘制符箓，擅长精准操控，控制起灵火也应该不难。”
陈汐倒是没想到白婉晴如此看好自己，不禁心生惭愧，自己哪里擅长制符，如今才只掌握了各种一品基础符箓而已。
“走吧，我现在就带你去。” 白婉晴兴冲冲道。
“呃，现在？” 陈汐挠头不已，刚才因为弟弟进入松烟学府的事情，还没谢过白婉晴呢，此时又要麻烦人家，他脸皮再厚，也觉得有点不好意思。
白婉晴一愣，惊奇地看着眼前羞涩不安的少年，她还是第一次见到陈汐的表情发生如此丰富的变化，完全没了之前那副沉稳木讷的气息。
她心中不禁升起一丝感慨，若非生活所迫，恐怕陈汐他也是个开朗乐观的少年吧，怎可能整天绷着脸为生计奔波呢？
清溪酒楼临水而建，建筑精致清雅，格调上乘，足足拥有三位三叶灵厨师坐镇，拥有着松烟城第一酒楼的美誉。
白婉晴便是清溪酒楼的一名厨娘，专门负责收购食物材料。
清溪酒楼的后厨位于酒楼之后，百丈范围的空间里罗列着一排排水晶似的明净厨台，新鲜收购的灵禽妖兽的肉块、散发着丝丝灵气的蔬果粮物、瓶瓶罐罐稀奇古怪的调料……各色有关美味的材料井然有序地布满了整个厨房。
一个个学徒工忙碌在各个角落，有用灵火熏制腊肉的，有用刀叉削切蔬果的，有搭配调料的，在厨台前，一缕缕颜色各异的灵火持续喷涌，年轻的灵厨学徒掂勺拎锅，烹制着一道道半成品菜肴。
跟着白婉晴甫一走进后厨，陈汐便看到如此壮阔的一幕，不由心生震撼，如此规模的厨房，他还是头一遭见到。
“走吧，咱们去二楼。” 没有在这里多逗留，白婉晴带着陈汐沿着一侧的楼梯，径直走上二楼。
“一楼是准备各种食材的地方，二楼才是三位灵厨师烹饪美食的所在。” 一边走，白婉晴一边解释：“我说的那位灵厨师姓马，大家都叫他马老头，脾气有点古怪，不过人很善良的。 待会你见到他，可要好好表现哦。”
陈汐默默点头。
“小白？ 你这小妮子咋又在背后说我坏话，小心我让老板辞掉你啊。” 一道嘶哑难听的声音从二楼房内传出，像是发怒，却透着一股调侃之意。
陈汐瞥了旁边的白婉晴一眼，心头浮起一丝怪异的感觉，白姨的女儿都六岁了，这马老头却叫她小白，简直是为老不尊啊。
白婉晴察觉到陈汐的目光，暗自恼羞不已，早知道就不带陈汐来这里了，不过想想马老头本就是口无遮拦之辈，她倒也不怎么生气。
领着陈汐推门而入，映入眼帘的竟然是一副宛如世外桃源的画面。
蓝天如绸，白云如棉，花木草丛之间是一条蜿蜒曲折的小路，小路尽头，赫然矗立着一座掩映于翠柏青松之间的碧竹小楼。
幻阵！ 陈汐目光逡巡片刻，几乎瞬间就看出，眼前的一切皆是由阵法星辰的幻象。
景致如画，惟妙惟肖，此等幻阵恐怕必须由精通幻阵的大符阵师才能布下吧？
呼吸着空气中的花木清香，陈汐不由心生无尽惊叹，九品符师之上，方可称作符阵师，如今自己才是一品符师，也不知何时能达到这等境界。
“这是一座碧空花影阵，下阶幻阵，暗藏杀机，你小心跟我身边，可莫要擅自乱闯。” 白婉晴低声吩咐了一声，沿着那条蜿蜒小路朝前走去。
陈汐心头一惊，亦步亦趋跟在白婉晴身后，不敢稍有疏忽。
符师九品，制作出的符箓以品划分，总计九品。 九品符师之上便是符阵师，所制作的符箓阵法以上、中、下三阶划分。
据陈汐所知，入阶的幻阵就足以令紫府修士不敢越雷池一步，眼前这座碧空花影阵，无疑具备如此强大的杀伤力，他哪还敢轻举妄动？
走进青竹小楼，景色又是一变，偌大的房间简陋异常，只寥寥放置着三座厨台，其他再无他物，根本无法跟一楼那美轮美奂的厨房相比。
此刻，正有一老一男一女立于三座厨台前，动作娴熟地烹饪食物。 在三人身后，安静立着一个个栩栩如生的傀儡，手托圆盘，圆盘内搁置着琳琅满目的各种食物材料。
“嗨，白美女。” 伴随着一声嘹亮的口哨，立于一座厨台前的男子抬起头，笑嘻嘻地跟白婉晴打招呼。
这男子衣冠楚楚，剑眉星目，英俊高大，唇角微微翘起，挂着一丝笑容迷人。
“好年轻好英俊的少年啊，看得姐姐我直流口水，唔，婉晴妹妹，这是你的相好么？” 另一座厨台前，一袭火红华裳的妖娆女子抬起头，酥胸高耸，身材窈窕火辣，水汪汪的桃花眼直勾勾地盯着陈汐，娇艳漂亮的脸蛋上露出一抹勾魂的笑容。 “干活！”
最后一座厨台前，枯瘦如猴似的老头眼睛一瞪，砰砰敲着手中的勺子，大声咆哮。

Chapter 11 - Clear Stream Restaurant
Swish! Swish!
Sword light flowed out like a stream, and the fierce and sharp sword qi flew out in a spray that spattered towards the surroundings, emitting strands of sharp whistling sounds as it rent the air.
Chen Hao held a sword in his left hand, his small face filled with a steadfast expression and a gaze as calm as still water. His thin and small figure was enclosed within dense sword silhouettes; the Minor Skystar Sword Technique that he’d learnt from the Skystar Institution was executed by him with precise and skilful moves that fluttered about agilely. His movements were smooth and natural as he dripped with sweat and executed the technique to his heart’s content.
Chen Xi’s expression was in an endless trance as he looked at his younger brother, as if he’d returned to 5 years ago.
At that time, he too was steadfast and persistent like this, infatuated with the cultivation of his swordsmanship, as every move of the sword technique was repeatedly trained by him millions upon millions of times without the slightest feeling of disinterest or exhaustion.
Every time this moment occurred, his grandfather would stand at the side without saying a word and only looked at him with a smile, his wrinkled face filled with gratification.
Grandfather’s mood at that time was probably the same as mine now?
Chen Xi’s mood was complicated and difficult to put into words as he gazed at this younger brother’s figure that practiced his swordsmanship under the sunlight.
“Good! Your sword technique has already reached the advanced-stage. What’s rare is because he’s wielding the sword with the left hand, the sword moves have a trace of both unpredictability and diversity. With a little bit of tempering, he’d definitely become an outstanding talent!”
Meng Kong clapped as he praised highly, and a rare trace of admiration was revealed on his firm expression.
If one were to say that Meng Kong only decided to test Chen Hao out of fear of hurting Bai Wanqing’s feelings, then now his heart was in admiration of the thin and weak youth who wielded a sword in his left hand.
He saw the staunchness and persistence towards the sword in Chen Hao, the most basic quality to become a qualified sword cultivator. Especially since Chen Hao was only 12 now, and yet he was still able to attain the advanced-stage in his sword technique. With time, such extraordinary talent was bound to journey further on the path of the Dao of the sword!
Bai Wanqing secretly heaved a sigh of relief. As she gazed at Chen Hao, she felt a sense of honour because of him. She knew how harsh Meng Kong’s conditions were for disciple selections, and being able to receive generous praise from him was enough for Chen Hao to be proud of!
Chen Xi kept silent as they walked out of the Pine Mist Institution.
He was naturally extremely happy that his younger brother had become the disciple of Instructor Meng Kong and a member of the Pine Mist Institution as expected. However, he felt a slight headache when he thought of how the Pine Mist Institutions yearly tuition fee was 4,000 spirit stones.
Even if he were to not eat nor drink, he would probably be unable to pay the tuition by merely relying upon talisman crafting. Looks like I must look for another path to earn spirit stones.
“You should be happy. The Pine Mist Institution isn’t a place anyone can enter, and there might not even be 1 in 1,000 that are able to become the disciple of Instructor Meng. Chen Hao will be able to tap into even more latent potential when training his swordsmanship with Instructor Meng, and it’s extremely beneficial for his future path as a sword cultivator.”
Bai Wanqing seemed to have discerned Chen Xi’s thoughts and laughed, “As for spirit stones, you don’t have to worry. I’ll lend you some first, just return it to me later on.”
Chen Xi shook his head, “That won’t do. Senior Meng agreeing to allow me to repay the tuition fees at the end of the year has already been a great help to me. I plan to find another job, and strive to gather the 4,000 by the end of the year.”
Bai Wanqing let out a laugh and didn’t force him, then said, “Besides talisman crafting, what else do you plan to do?”
Chen Xi pondered before saying, “Naturally the more money it earns, the better.”
“Oh,” Bai Wanqing said. She pondered for some time, then her eyes abruptly lit up, “Why don’t you come to Clear Stream Restaurant? Aren’t you skilled in talisman crafting? The controlling of spirit flames ought to be easy for you to learn. I know a spirit chef that still doesn’t have a disciple until today, why don’t you go give it a try? Once you become a spirit chef apprentice, earning 30 spirit stones a day wouldn’t be difficult. If you’re able to undertake cooking alone, you’d be completely able to earn even more spirit stones.”
Bai Wanqing had a smile on her face as she stared angrily and said, “Don’t look down on spirit chefs. The dishes that every spirit chef cooks are not only superb in flavour, but also possess various wonderful effects. For example, stabilizing the Dao foundation, strengthening True Essence, healing injuries… Every one of those wealthy clans possess their own exclusive spirit chef to serve them, with a status that is no different in the slightest to a talisman master.”
Chen Xi was startled, “Then, aren’t spirit chefs extremely similar to alchemists?”
Bai Wanqing let out a laugh, “Exactly, both require being able to understand the properties of various medicinal materials by heart, and both require spirit flames to control the process. But they both still have differences. the spirit chef attaches importance to the taste and its effects are only supplementary; the alchemist attaches importance to effects, but instead never considers taste. If one were to judge which is superior, then it would depend on their standards.”
Bai Wanqing smiled happily as she said, “You’ll definitely be fine. Wielding a brush to craft talismans requires wrist strength, wielding the ladle and cutting up ingredients requires wrist strength as well; the combination of ink requires balancing various materials according to proportions and the cooking of dishes is similarly so. The only thing you have to pay attention to is the control of spirit flames, but you draw talismans throughout the year and are skilled in precise control. Thus, controlling the spirit flames wouldn’t be too difficult for you.”
Chen Xi however never expected that Bai Wanqing would look so favourably upon him, and couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. How was he skilled at crafting talismans when he’d only mastered various first-grade basic talismans now?
“Let’s go, I’ll take you over right now,” Bai Wanqing said excitedly.
“Uh, now?” Chen Xi felt extremely conflicted, as he still hadn’t thanked Bai Wanqing for the matter of his younger brother entering Pine Mist Institution earlier and now he had to trouble her again. Even if his face was even thicker, he would still find it slightly embarrassing.
Bai Wanqing was stupefied momentarily, and looked in amazement at the embarrassed and uncomfortable youth before her. This was still the first time she’d seen such a rich change in Chen Xi’s expression, and he completely lacked the sedate and stiff aura from before.
“If he wasn’t forced by life, Chen Xi would probably be a cheerful and optimistic youth, right? How else could he possibly keep a straight face as he rushed about all day for the sake of maintaining his family’s livelihood?”
The Clear Stream Restaurant was built at the riverside, and its construction was refined and exquisite with superb style. Three 3 leaf spirit chefs personally attended to the cooking, and it possessed the reputation of being the number 1 restaurant within Pine Mist City.
Bai Wanqing was a kitchen assistant within the Clear Stream Restaurant that specialized in purchasing ingredients.
The rear kitchen of the Clear Stream Restaurant was situated at the back of the restaurant, and row after row of bright and clean stoves were spread out in a range of around 330m. Freshly purchased pieces of spirit birds and demon beast’s meat, produce and grains that emitted traces of spirit energy, bottles and containers that contained exotic seasonings… Various materials related to delicacies filled the entire kitchen in orderly placements.
Apprentices were busy at every corner, some were using spirit flames to cure and smoke meat, some used knives to peel and cut produce and some were combining seasonings. Before the stoves were strands of spirit flames in various colors that continuously gushed out, and youth spirit chef apprentices wielded their ladles and lifted their woks as they cooked semi-finished dishes one after the other.
Chen Xi, who followed behind Bai Wanqing, couldn’t help but be shocked in his heart the moment he walked into the rear kitchen and saw such a magnificent scene. It was the first time he’d seen a kitchen of such scale.
“Let’s go, we’re going to the 2nd floor.” Without wasting any time here, Bai Wanqing brought Chen Xi along the nearby staircase to walk up the 2nd floor.
“The 1st floor is where the various ingredients are prepared and the 2nd floor is where the three spirit chefs cook delicacies.” Bai Wanqing explained as they walked, “The spirit chef I spoke of is surnamed Ma, and everyone calls him old man Ma. His character is slightly strange, but he’s a very kind person. You better nicely show off your skills when you see him later.”
Chen Xi silently nodded.
“Little Bai? Why’re you talking behind my back, little girl? Be careful or I might ask the boss to fire you.” A hoarse voice that was unpleasant to hear sounded from within the room in 2nd floor, seeming to be enraged and yet revealing a joking tone.
Chen Xi shot a glance at the nearby Bai Wanqing, as a weird feeling emerged in his heart. Aunt Bai’s daughter was already 6, but this old man Ma instead called her Little Bai; he was practically an old man who didn’t know how to conduct himself.
Bai Wanqing noticed Chen Xi’s gaze and secretly was extremely embarrassed and angry. If she’d known that this would happen earlier, she wouldn’t have brought Chen Xi here. But when she thought about how old man Ma was a person who said everything on his mind, she dropped it.
She led Chen Xi to push the door and enter, and what entered their eyes was actually a scene that was like a paradise away from the world.
The blue sky was like silk, with white clouds like cotton and a path that twisted and turned between the surrounding flowers, trees, and thick grass. At the end of the path stood an impressive jade-green bamboo pavilion that was concealed within cedar trees and green pine trees.
Illusion formation! Chen Xi’s gaze lingered for a moment, practically instantly discerning that everything before him were illusions formed by a formation.
A scene so picturesque that’s absolutely lifelike, such an illusion formation probably must be placed by a Grand Talisman Formation Master that’s skilled in illusion formations, right?
Infinite wonder couldn’t help but be aroused within Chen Xi’s heart as he breathed the delicate fragrance of flowers and trees in the air. Only one that was above a ninth-grade talisman master could be called a talisman formation master. Currently, he was only a first-grade talisman master, and he couldn’t help but wonder when he’d be able to attain such heights.
“This is a Jadesky Flower Formation, a low-grade illusion formation, and it contains life-threatening dangers hidden within. Carefully follow behind me, don’t move about arbitrarily.” Bai Wanqing instructed in a low voice before walking forward on the winding path.
Chen Xi’s heart jumped and he followed behind Bai Wanqing step by step, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Talisman masters and the talismans they crafted were divided into 9 grades. Above the ninth-grade talisman master was the talisman formation master, and the talisman formations crafted by them were divided into the low-grade, intermediate-grade, and high-grade.
According to Chen Xi’s knowledge, a graded illusion formation was sufficient to cause a Violet Palace Realm cultivator to not dare go one step beyond its boundaries. The Jadesky Flower Formation before him undoubtedly possessed such a formidable lethality. How would he dare act rashly?
The scene changed once again when he stepped into the jade-green bamboo pavilion. The entire room was extremely simple, and only three stoves were placed within. There was nothing else present within, and it was completely incomparable to a strand of that beautiful kitchen from earlier.
At this moment, an old man, a man, and a woman stood before the three stoves as they cooked with skilled movements. Behind the three, an almost lifelike puppet quietly stood there holding a round tray in its hand, and placed on top of the tray were a great variety of various ingredients.
Along with a resonant whistle, the man that stood behind a stove raised his head and greeted Bai Wanqing while smiling broadly, “Hi, pretty lady Bai.”
This tall and handsome man was dressed like a gentleman and had a pair of sword shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, the corners of his mouth lightly curled up and a trace of a charming smile hung there.
“What a young and handsome youth! This big sister is drooling at the sight of him. Mmm, little sister Wanqing, is this your lover?” Behind the other stove, the enchanting woman clad in a fiery red dress raised her head. Her hot and graceful figure had a pair of soft breasts that stood tall and erect, and her watery eyes were shaped like a petal of a peach blossom while staring straight at Chen Xi as her charming and beautiful face revealed an attractive smile.
Before the last stove, an old man who was skinny like a monkey glared as he struck the ladle in his hand and shouted loudly, “Get back to work!”

"value": "Chapter 232: Princess Yue Ye (II)\nYue Ye lifted up her hands, waving her right hand’s fingernail and instantly streaking it against her left wrist. Immediately, a droplet of dark-red-colored blood gushed out, dripping from her pure white wrist’s skin.\nSeeing the blood flowing out from her wrist, Long Haochen and Cai’er both had a great surprise.\nHigh ranked demons were capable of taking an appearance very similar to humans’ but a few of their characteristics stayed different from humans’. And the only really important external difference between demons and humans lied in their blood.\nNo demon, regardless of whichever race they belonged to, would have red-colored blood. Some would have purple-colored, blue-colored, green-colored or black-colored blood, but none had red-colored blood.\nYue Ye used action to prove her identity. Since her blood was red, she couldn’t be a real demon.\nAfter she wiped the wound on her right hand, blood stopped flowing down, and Yue Ye declared to Long Haochen, “More accurately, I am of mixed human and demon blood. My mother was a human, and outside of the heritage I gained from my father, I inherited from my mother’s human blood. Thus, I can be considered as human in a greater part, and I am not afraid of telling you that my father is precisely the current Moon Demon God. Only, because of my blood heritage, I didn’t gain the qualification to succeed him as the next Moon Demon God, which is why I became the president of the Yue Ye chamber of commerce.”\nAt this point, she suddenly revealed a gentle smile, but this coquettish smile carried a hint of sadness.\n“I am a qualified freelance merchant, and deep inside, I don’t feel a sense of belonging for demons nor humans. Thus, I will not help humans to deal with demons, nor will I help demons to deal with humans. But you are different: if not for your prompt appearance, I would only be a corpse by now. Regardless of the goal you had when intervening, it doesn’t change the fact you are my lifesavers. For this reason, I want to tell you that leaving me alive will be of more use than killing me.”\nArrived to this point, Yue Ye stopped over and gazed at Long Haochen with a deep glance, “Captain Long, you are a very smart person. As the Moon Demon God’s daughter, princess of the Moon Demon Clan, even though I don’t have the right of inheritance to the position of demon god, my position within demons is still important. Killing me will not get you any contribution points, but sparing me will be of great help for the execution of your future missions against demons. You are my lifesavers, and I will remember this fact forever.\nOf course, I know that it’s hard for you to believe empty promises. You are a Demon Hunt Squad, and in all likelihood, will have some restricting methods. Go ahead and use them against me before running away. Regardless of whether it is for the sake of preserving my own life or to repay the debt of gratitude I owe you, I can only let you do this. However, I want to request you not to harm Leng Xiao. She’s my friend, and doesn’t know anything of you. She only came to have some fun with me and that’s all. The reason why I knocked her out was that I hoped she wouldn’t learn of all of this, to be able to keep on living.\nLooking at Yue Ye, Long Haochen suddenly felt a great terror. Regardless of whether what she said was true, this girl was just too clever. It could be said that she had perfectly figured out all of Long Haochen’s thoughts, as her choice of words just formed the perfect answer to dispel his hesitations.\nShutting his two eyes, Long Haochen asked in a serious tone, “If I keep you alive, of what help will you be to us?”\nYue Ye revealed an humble smile. She knew that she had already persuaded Long Haochen, “No one is more proficient than freelance merchants to help humans penetrate into the demon territory. I know that none of you is willing to wait for my reinforcements from the Moon Demon Clan to arrive, but I have special items to help you to change your appearance, letting you acquire the appearance of demon aristocrats, in addition to many other indispensable items contained in this carriage. The only thing you will need to do is to reach the nearest town, and then, you will get to penetrate into the demon territory and reach your destination effortlessly…”\nLong Haochen felt hesitant. In such a situation, the best solution to infiltrate the demon territory covertly would be without a doubt to silence Yue Ye and her group. But he couldn’t help but worry about Yue Ye’s ability. Who knew what kind of magical scrolls or weapons she still had left? Even Cai’er and himself didn’t have the assurance to be able to deal with her and to retreat indemn.\nMore importantly, Yue Ye wasn’t a mere barbaric demon. Sparing her would be extremely advantageous for the future development of their Demon Hunt Squad. These benefits made Long Haochen feel extremely hesitant.\n“Haochen, I want to speak to her on my own.” Cai’er, who had been seated by Long Haochen’s side all along, suddenly spoke. Although Long Haochen was surprised, he still nodded in response, “Okay.”\nSeeing Cai’er’s limpid and unsentimental eyes, Yue Ye suddenly felt a crack in her original extreme self-confidence. She suddenly felt that this girl standing by Long Haochen’s side and carrying a veil was a lot more dangerous than him.\nAlthough Long Haochen was powerful and extremely intelligent, she could still convince him, but Cai’er just stood there was just like a cold and expressionless blade, that might stab her at any time.\nYue Ye glanced at Long Haochen, and seeing no reaction from him, felt inwardly dejected about it, but still followed Cai’er.\nCai’er led her to a nearby place, roughly twenty steps away, before stopping and turning, looking at Yue Ye face to face.\n“Seeing that you possess some human blood heritage, we were lenient towards you, but trying to pull off any tricks will be of no use, aside from bringing your life to an end.”\nAs she said so, Cai’er’s left hand suddenly moved, directly shooting up at Yue Ye’s chest.\nYue Ye was startled and unconsciously tried to dodge this ‘attack’, but Cai’er suddenly became illusory, and immediately, Yue Ye felt as though everything that surrounded her body disappeared, only letting place to inexhaustible desolation.\nWhat’s that power? Yue Ye felt greatly alarmed, to the extent that the integrality of her bones felt as cold as ice, the surroundings turning grey. Next, a little ice-cold hand left a mark on her chest.\nFeeling a sharp presence against her chest, Yue Ye screamed miserably, and in a flash, her whole body fell down.\nAfter arriving rapidly, this murderous intent also disappeared rapidly. Right after this grey scene vanished, Cai’er appeared once again in front of her, as if nothing had happened at all.\nYue Ye felt dull as she looked at that black-clad girl, only wondering whether she would have been able to avoid that blow just now at her peak state.\nThe answer was not certain. Perhaps could she have a chance in a long-distance battle, but in such a distance, even if her strength was even greater, she would still have been unable to avoid this attack. What a strong assassin! It’s actually no wonder that she managed to wound that Golden Birdy Demon. She’s actually not the least weaker than this Long Haochen! Staring with great attention and feeling the changes on her own body, Yue Ye turned pale with fright, because she discovered with shock that a sort of needle had really been left near to her heart. It was a small, entirely grey-colored, and sparkling penetrative needle. A very little split was left in front of her heart; this was clearly a little needle formed of condensed spiritual energy. Outside of the coldness that occasionally came through, it didn’t seem to be of any harm to her body.\nBut this feeling clearly only existed on the surface. How could such a thing placed on her heart be really totally harmless?\nYue Ye’s expression became uglier. She could only be said to be extremely intelligent: having seen through Long Haochen’s benevolent character, she had suggested Long Haochen to restrict her own body, and felt quite lucky to be confronting him. But now, this feeling of luckiness clearly didn’t exist anymore.\nCai’er indifferently declared, “Let me give you an advice: don’t try to remove the restriction I left in your body. I am the only one able to remove it in this world. Even the Demon God Emperor cannot possibly get rid of it, and having him try out his luck will only leave a corpse behind.”\nFrom how Yue Ye heard it, this wasn’t a threat, as Cai’er’s voice was very calm, but a mere description of the real facts. In addition, she was quite knowledgeable and experienced, and this sort of restriction wasn’t something she had never seen before.\nCai’er turned around and advanced, returning to Long Haochen’s side. Yue Ye stood up from the ground, placing her right hand on her left chest, gasping for breath as her look directed to Cai’er was filled with terror.\nCai’er nodded to Long Haochen, telling him a few words, and Long Haochen nodded in response before looking at Yue Ye, “We accept your proposal. Please give us these things that could be of help to us now. I will spare your life and Leng Xiao’s”\nYue Ye’s face was pale, “Then, how can this restriction be removed?”\nCai’er gave a calm reply, “As long as you can meet me once a year, and that I stay safe and sound, this restriction will never break out. If you want this restriction to be completely removed, it will only be possible after demonkind’s total annihilation.”\n“You…” Yue Ye finally broke out in anger.\nCai’er coldly swept a glance, “Are you qualified to have any objection?”\nYue Ye took a deep breath, calming her rage down. She didn’t want to die, and it was only natural. In this world, anyone would treasure his own life.\n“I understand.” As she said this, the ruby-colored ring in Yue Ye’s finger glinted, and a thing after another was set free from it, and she explained their uses to Long Haochen and Cai’er.\nA minute later, Long Haochen recovered these goods Yue Ye gave them.\n“Thanks a lot for your assistance. If one day, you feel inclined to join humanity’s side, I believe that it will be a very good thing to us. Don’t worry about this restriction placed on your body; if one day, you let us see your loyalty towards humanity, we will remove it for you. This place isn’t safe, you should leave as soon as possible.”\nYue Ye nodded in silence, looking at Long Haochen before looking at Cai’er. The brilliance in her eyes rose and fell, as a distressed expression was formed by her brows, giving her a lovely yet pitiful look.\n“Can you help me on some matter before you leave, please?” Yue Ye pleaded in a low voice."

第七十六章
月夜抬起双手，右手指甲在左手手腕上瞬间划过，顿时，暗红色的鲜血奔涌而出，顺着她洁白的皓腕缓缓滴落。
看到她手腕上流出的鲜血，无论是龙皓晨还是采儿，都是大吃一惊。
高等魔族有着极为近似人类的相貌，只有一些特点与人类略微不同而已。
而唯一能够真正区别人类与魔族不同的，就是血液。 [搜索最新更新尽在.lzh.魔族之中，无论是哪一个族群，血液的颜色都不是红色。
月夜用行动辩解子她的身份，拥有鲜红血液的她，并不是真正的魔族。
我也不怕告诉你们，我的父亲，就是当今的月魔神。 只是因为我人类血脉的原因，没有继承月魔神的资格，所以才成为了月夜商会的会长。”
说到这里，她突然轻笑一声，可是，这看上去很轻佻的笑容却给人一和悲凉的感觉。
“我是一名合格的游离商人，在我心中，没有魔族和人类的区分。 所以，我不会帮助人类对付魔族，也同样不会帮助魔族对付人类。 可你们不同，如果没有你们的及时出现，我现在已经是一具尸体。
说到这里，月夜略微依顿了一下，目光深邃的注视着龙皓晨，“龙团长，您是聪明人。 身为月魔神的女儿，月魔族公主，尽管我没有魔神继承权，但在魔族之中，我的地位依旧不低。 杀了我，你们得不到任何功勋。
当然，只是空口白话恐怕你们很难信任我。 你们是猎魔团，想必也有一些禁制手段，尽管用在我身上就走了。
看着月夜，龙皓晨心中突然产生了一种恐惧的感觉，无论她的话是否真诚，这个女人都太聪明了。 可以说，她极好的把握住了龙皓晨他们的心理，每一句话都说的恰到好处。
双眼微眯，龙皓晨沉声道：“如果我不杀你，你又能带给我们怎样的帮助呢？”
月夜微微一笑，她知道，龙皓晨已经被自己说动了，“没有人比游离商人更精通将人类或者魔族带到对方的领地去。 我知道，各位一定不愿意留下等待我月魔族的援军，我有一些特殊的东西能够略微改变你们的形貌，让你们变成魔族贵族。
龙皓晨犹豫了，眼前这种情况，毫无疑问，将月夜和她的人全部斩杀，才能最好的掩饰两个猎魔团潜入魔族内部的情况。 但是，他却不得不顾忌月夜的能力。
更何况，月夜并非纯狂魔族，如果能够得到她真心的帮助，对于猎魔团未来的发展就太有利了。
“皓晨，我想单独和她谈谈*……”一直站在龙皓晨身边舟采儿突然说道。
看着采儿澄澈却毫无情绪的双眸，月夜原本的自信突然出现了几分裂痕。 她突然感觉到，站在龙皓晨身边的这带着面纱的少女更加危险。
龙皓晨虽然强大、充满智慧，但还能试图说服他，但站在那里的采儿却像是一柄毫无感情的冰冷利刃，随时都有可能刺入自己的心脏。
月夜瞥了龙皓晨一眼，见他毫无反应，心中居然觉得有些憋闷，但还是跟着采儿向一旁走去。
采儿带着她走出并不远，大约二十步之后，停下脚步，转而面对月夜。
“看在你拥有人类血统的份上，我们给你这个机会，不过，你不要试图耍任何心眼，那都不会有用，只会让你的生命击到尽头。”
一边说着，采儿的左手突然动了，直接朝着月夜胸口处拍去。
月夜一惊，下意识的想要闪躲，但是，她面前的采儿突然变得虚幻了，紧接着，月夜只觉得自己身体周围的一切似乎都消失了似的”只有无尽的杀气。
月夜心中大惊，那冷到骨髓中的森然杀机令她只觉得全身一阵冰冷，周围都变成了灰色，下一庶，一只冰冷的小手已经印在了她胸膛之上。
仿佛被锋锐的针尖刺中了心脏一般，月夜惨叫一声，身体一晃，就软俐在地。
杀气来的快，去的也快。 灰色收敛，采儿又重新出现在了她面前，仿佛一切都没有发生过似的。
月夜有些呆滞的看着面前这一身黑衣的少女，她现在只是在想，如果是在自己全盛状态的情况下，能否躲开她刚才那一掌？
或许，在远距离的情况下还有几分机会，如此距离，就算是自身实力再强大一些，恐怕也无法闪避开她的攻击吧。 好强大的刺客，难怪、难怪她连黄金禽魔都能创伤。 她的实力恐怕并不在龙皓晨之下啊！
很明显，这只是表面现象。 在自己心脏位置多了这么个东西怎会完全无害呢？
月夜的脸色有些难看，不得不说，她是十分聪明的，从龙皓晨的眼神之中她就看到了这今年轻骑士的仁慈，在提议由龙皓晨他们在自己身上下禁制的时候，她多少还存有几分侥幸。 但现在这个侥幸显然已经不存在了。
采儿淡淡的说道：“给你个忠告，不要试图去解除我在你身上留下的禁制。 在这个世界上，能够将它解除的就只有我一个人。
哪怕魔神皇也不可能令它消失，除非那个时候你已经是一具尸体。” 月夜听的出，这并不是威胁，采儿的声音很平静，完全是在描述一个事实。 而且，她也算是见多识广了，眼前这样的禁制是她从未见过的。
采儿转身而去，重新回到龙皓晨身边，月夜也从地上站起来，右手按在自己左胸上，一边喘息着，看着采儿的目光却多了几分惊惧。
采儿向龙皓晨点了点头，低声向他说了几句什么，龙皓晨微微颌首，再看向月夜，道：“你的条件我们答应了。 现在可以拿出你能对我们的帮助了。
月夜的脸色有些苍白，“那我这个禁制何时才能解除？”
采儿淡然道：“只要你每年能够见到我一次，我又能一直平平安安的活着，这个禁制就永远不会发作。 嗯要完全解除这个禁制，只有一个可能，那就是有一天魔族毁灭。”
“你，“…”月夜眼中终于泛出怒气。
采儿冷冷的扫了她一眼，“你有资格跟我们讲条件么？”
月夜深吸口气，平复着自己心中的怒火。 她当然不想死，在这个世界上，任何人对自己的生命都是珍视的。 “我明白了。”
一边说着，月夜手上的红宝石戒指上光芒闪耀，一件接一件的东西从其中释放而出，并且一一为龙皓晨和采儿讲解它们的作用。 一煎钟之后。
龙皓晨将月夜提供的物品一一收好。 “感谢你的帮助。
如果你真的一心倾向于人类，我相信对于联盟来说会是大好事。 不用担心你身上的禁制，如果有一天你让我们看到了你对人类的忠诚，我们会为称解除它的。 这里并不安全，我们要走了。”
月夜默默的点了点头，看看龙皓晨，再看看采儿，眼中光芒略微波动了一下，眉宇之间却流露出几分凄然，给人一种楚楚可怜的感觉。
“走之前能否再帮我一个忙？” 月夜低声哀求道。

Chapter 232: Princess Yue Ye (II)
Yue Ye lifted up her hands, waving her right hand’s fingernail and instantly streaking it against her left wrist. Immediately, a droplet of dark-red-colored blood gushed out, dripping from her pure white wrist’s skin.
Seeing the blood flowing out from her wrist, Long Haochen and Cai’er both had a great surprise.
High ranked demons were capable of taking an appearance very similar to humans’ but a few of their characteristics stayed different from humans’. And the only really important external difference between demons and humans lied in their blood.
No demon, regardless of whichever race they belonged to, would have red-colored blood. Some would have purple-colored, blue-colored, green-colored or black-colored blood, but none had red-colored blood.
Yue Ye used action to prove her identity. Since her blood was red, she couldn’t be a real demon.
After she wiped the wound on her right hand, blood stopped flowing down, and Yue Ye declared to Long Haochen, “More accurately, I am of mixed human and demon blood. My mother was a human, and outside of the heritage I gained from my father, I inherited from my mother’s human blood. Thus, I can be considered as human in a greater part, and I am not afraid of telling you that my father is precisely the current Moon Demon God. Only, because of my blood heritage, I didn’t gain the qualification to succeed him as the next Moon Demon God, which is why I became the president of the Yue Ye chamber of commerce.”
At this point, she suddenly revealed a gentle smile, but this coquettish smile carried a hint of sadness.
“I am a qualified freelance merchant, and deep inside, I don’t feel a sense of belonging for demons nor humans. Thus, I will not help humans to deal with demons, nor will I help demons to deal with humans. But you are different: if not for your prompt appearance, I would only be a corpse by now. Regardless of the goal you had when intervening, it doesn’t change the fact you are my lifesavers. For this reason, I want to tell you that leaving me alive will be of more use than killing me.”
Arrived to this point, Yue Ye stopped over and gazed at Long Haochen with a deep glance, “Captain Long, you are a very smart person. As the Moon Demon God’s daughter, princess of the Moon Demon Clan, even though I don’t have the right of inheritance to the position of demon god, my position within demons is still important. Killing me will not get you any contribution points, but sparing me will be of great help for the execution of your future missions against demons. You are my lifesavers, and I will remember this fact forever.
Of course, I know that it’s hard for you to believe empty promises. You are a Demon Hunt Squad, and in all likelihood, will have some restricting methods. Go ahead and use them against me before running away. Regardless of whether it is for the sake of preserving my own life or to repay the debt of gratitude I owe you, I can only let you do this. However, I want to request you not to harm Leng Xiao. She’s my friend, and doesn’t know anything of you. She only came to have some fun with me and that’s all. The reason why I knocked her out was that I hoped she wouldn’t learn of all of this, to be able to keep on living.
Looking at Yue Ye, Long Haochen suddenly felt a great terror. Regardless of whether what she said was true, this girl was just too clever. It could be said that she had perfectly figured out all of Long Haochen’s thoughts, as her choice of words just formed the perfect answer to dispel his hesitations.
Shutting his two eyes, Long Haochen asked in a serious tone, “If I keep you alive, of what help will you be to us?”
Yue Ye revealed an humble smile. She knew that she had already persuaded Long Haochen, “No one is more proficient than freelance merchants to help humans penetrate into the demon territory. I know that none of you is willing to wait for my reinforcements from the Moon Demon Clan to arrive, but I have special items to help you to change your appearance, letting you acquire the appearance of demon aristocrats, in addition to many other indispensable items contained in this carriage. The only thing you will need to do is to reach the nearest town, and then, you will get to penetrate into the demon territory and reach your destination effortlessly…”
Long Haochen felt hesitant. In such a situation, the best solution to infiltrate the demon territory covertly would be without a doubt to silence Yue Ye and her group. But he couldn’t help but worry about Yue Ye’s ability. Who knew what kind of magical scrolls or weapons she still had left? Even Cai’er and himself didn’t have the assurance to be able to deal with her and to retreat indemn.
More importantly, Yue Ye wasn’t a mere barbaric demon. Sparing her would be extremely advantageous for the future development of their Demon Hunt Squad. These benefits made Long Haochen feel extremely hesitant.
“Haochen, I want to speak to her on my own.” Cai’er, who had been seated by Long Haochen’s side all along, suddenly spoke. Although Long Haochen was surprised, he still nodded in response, “Okay.”
Seeing Cai’er’s limpid and unsentimental eyes, Yue Ye suddenly felt a crack in her original extreme self-confidence. She suddenly felt that this girl standing by Long Haochen’s side and carrying a veil was a lot more dangerous than him.
Although Long Haochen was powerful and extremely intelligent, she could still convince him, but Cai’er just stood there was just like a cold and expressionless blade, that might stab her at any time.
Yue Ye glanced at Long Haochen, and seeing no reaction from him, felt inwardly dejected about it, but still followed Cai’er.
Cai’er led her to a nearby place, roughly twenty steps away, before stopping and turning, looking at Yue Ye face to face.
“Seeing that you possess some human blood heritage, we were lenient towards you, but trying to pull off any tricks will be of no use, aside from bringing your life to an end.”
As she said so, Cai’er’s left hand suddenly moved, directly shooting up at Yue Ye’s chest.
Yue Ye was startled and unconsciously tried to dodge this ‘attack’, but Cai’er suddenly became illusory, and immediately, Yue Ye felt as though everything that surrounded her body disappeared, only letting place to inexhaustible desolation.
What’s that power? Yue Ye felt greatly alarmed, to the extent that the integrality of her bones felt as cold as ice, the surroundings turning grey. Next, a little ice-cold hand left a mark on her chest.
Feeling a sharp presence against her chest, Yue Ye screamed miserably, and in a flash, her whole body fell down.
After arriving rapidly, this murderous intent also disappeared rapidly. Right after this grey scene vanished, Cai’er appeared once again in front of her, as if nothing had happened at all.
Yue Ye felt dull as she looked at that black-clad girl, only wondering whether she would have been able to avoid that blow just now at her peak state.
The answer was not certain. Perhaps could she have a chance in a long-distance battle, but in such a distance, even if her strength was even greater, she would still have been unable to avoid this attack. What a strong assassin! It’s actually no wonder that she managed to wound that Golden Birdy Demon. She’s actually not the least weaker than this Long Haochen! Staring with great attention and feeling the changes on her own body, Yue Ye turned pale with fright, because she discovered with shock that a sort of needle had really been left near to her heart. It was a small, entirely grey-colored, and sparkling penetrative needle. A very little split was left in front of her heart; this was clearly a little needle formed of condensed spiritual energy. Outside of the coldness that occasionally came through, it didn’t seem to be of any harm to her body.
But this feeling clearly only existed on the surface. How could such a thing placed on her heart be really totally harmless?
Yue Ye’s expression became uglier. She could only be said to be extremely intelligent: having seen through Long Haochen’s benevolent character, she had suggested Long Haochen to restrict her own body, and felt quite lucky to be confronting him. But now, this feeling of luckiness clearly didn’t exist anymore.
Cai’er indifferently declared, “Let me give you an advice: don’t try to remove the restriction I left in your body. I am the only one able to remove it in this world. Even the Demon God Emperor cannot possibly get rid of it, and having him try out his luck will only leave a corpse behind.”
From how Yue Ye heard it, this wasn’t a threat, as Cai’er’s voice was very calm, but a mere description of the real facts. In addition, she was quite knowledgeable and experienced, and this sort of restriction wasn’t something she had never seen before.
Cai’er turned around and advanced, returning to Long Haochen’s side. Yue Ye stood up from the ground, placing her right hand on her left chest, gasping for breath as her look directed to Cai’er was filled with terror.
Cai’er nodded to Long Haochen, telling him a few words, and Long Haochen nodded in response before looking at Yue Ye, “We accept your proposal. Please give us these things that could be of help to us now. I will spare your life and Leng Xiao’s”
Yue Ye’s face was pale, “Then, how can this restriction be removed?”
Cai’er gave a calm reply, “As long as you can meet me once a year, and that I stay safe and sound, this restriction will never break out. If you want this restriction to be completely removed, it will only be possible after demonkind’s total annihilation.”
“You…” Yue Ye finally broke out in anger.
Cai’er coldly swept a glance, “Are you qualified to have any objection?”
Yue Ye took a deep breath, calming her rage down. She didn’t want to die, and it was only natural. In this world, anyone would treasure his own life.
“I understand.” As she said this, the ruby-colored ring in Yue Ye’s finger glinted, and a thing after another was set free from it, and she explained their uses to Long Haochen and Cai’er.
A minute later, Long Haochen recovered these goods Yue Ye gave them.
“Thanks a lot for your assistance. If one day, you feel inclined to join humanity’s side, I believe that it will be a very good thing to us. Don’t worry about this restriction placed on your body; if one day, you let us see your loyalty towards humanity, we will remove it for you. This place isn’t safe, you should leave as soon as possible.”
Yue Ye nodded in silence, looking at Long Haochen before looking at Cai’er. The brilliance in her eyes rose and fell, as a distressed expression was formed by her brows, giving her a lovely yet pitiful look.
“Can you help me on some matter before you leave, please?” Yue Ye pleaded in a low voice.

Instead, he headed toward the Military Affairs Department to listen to the report of the military affairs director, Ge Hongliang. When he heard that the 3rd regiment had obtained stellar results, his depressed heart felt a little relieved.\nGeneral Er'Lai didn't let him down. With this battle alone, he would gain a footing in the military. He would garner reputation and respect in the 3rd regiment. With him at the head of the 3rd regiment, Ouyang Shuo didn't have to worry at all.\nOuyang Shuo ordered Ge Hongliang to place all the prisoners in the reserve force.\nThe prisoners from both the east and west sides totaled at 2,800 soldiers. They were all proper soldiers and didn't need to class change. Ouyang Shuo naturally wouldn't waste them. At a proper time, he would place all of them in his army.\nOuyang Shuo told Ge Hongliang about the city west camp operation and asked the Military Affairs Department to assist.\n\"Director Ge, pass down my words!\" Then, Ouyang Shuo commanded, “Order the 2nd unit of the 2nd regiment to rush to the main camp; order the Qiushui Town City Protection Unit\nto help the 3rd regiment destroy Yishui Town and Gushan Town. The God Machine Unit shall split into two, one to help the city west camp and the other to help the city east camp to complete this operation.\"\nThis time, Ouyang Shuo was really enraged, and he didn't want to give his enemies any chances.\n\"Yes, my lord!\"\nAfter he left the Military Affairs Department, Ouyang Shuo didn't stop and rushed to the inner city barracks. He found the God Machine Unit Major, Wang Yuanfeng. After he gave the major some instructions, Ouyang Shuo returned to the Lord's Manor.\nThe news of the war had spread out in the territory.\nWhen Ouyang Shuo returned, the manor was bustling. Song Jia and Yingyu heaved a sigh of relief when the saw him come back. Ouyang Shuo's safety had worried them.\nOuyang Shuo sent a message about the ambush he faced in Shanhai City in the alliance channel. He warned his allies to pay attention to their territory borders in case of similar situations.\nFrom this battle, Ouyang Shuo realized that the warning system at the border was far from enough. After the territory increased, they hadn't set up sentry towers at the border, which gave the enemy a chance.\n\"Sha Pojun is so shameless!\" Gong Chengshi scolded.\n\"Wuyi, is this Sha Pojun's own act or Yanhuang Alliance playing tricks?\" Bai Hua asked.\nOuyang Shuo shook his head and said, “Baseless guesses have no meaning. Let's wait and see.\" Ouyang Shuo had similar worries to Fenghua Juedai. He didn't want to start a war between the two alliances so early.\nBai Hua was smart and immediately understood what Ouyang Shuo meant and said, \"Understood.\"\nGaia first year, 9th month, 4th day, Shanhai City.\nAt 6 AM, Ouyang Shuo brought along his Guards, military affairs secretary Songsan, God Machine Unit Major Wang Yuanfeng, and the 2nd unit of the 2nd regiment. They exited the city and went straight toward the city west camp.\nAt the city west camp, Ouyang Shuo stopped shortly to meet up with the Guards unit and the resting 1st unit of the 2nd regiment. This time, they set off toward Tianfeng Town, which was at the west-most side of the Lianzhou Basin.\nBased on the military affairs secretary’s introduction, Tianfeng Town was 300 kilometres away from Shanhai City. It was 240 kilometres away from the city west camp, near the Xila Lake.\nOuyang Shuo's strategic motives were simple—to totally destroy the threat on the west side. He wanted to pluck out the three main lord's on the west of Lianzhou Basin.\nFor this, he had to bring the troops on a long journey.\nTianfeng Town lord Xiaofeng Canyue definitely wouldn't expect Ouyang Shuo to do that. Hence, Shanhai City purely brought cavalry. They planned to attack them before they could react.\nThe blistering sun was high up in the sky. Under the directions of the military affairs spy, a 1,500 men elite cavalry force ventured deep into the wilderness, toward the path of revenge.\nTo increase their speed, they took shorter rests. Ouyang Shuo had also taken 1,500 Qingfu horses from the city west horse stables. This action ensured that each cavalry had two Qingfu horses, so they could substitute between the two on the way.\nThe Military Affairs Division intentionally chose a route that avoided Yongye Town and Guangshui Town to prevent stirring up more side issues. In the afternoon, the force smoothly went past Yongye Town and entered to the deepest point of the wilderness.\nFor this long mission, Ouyang Shuo had made ample preparations. Not only did he bring enough Xingjun Tents, he also brought the military grain pills and the two triple-bow arcuballistas, which filled his storage bag to the brim.\n9th month, 5th day, a series of simple notifications appeared in his ear.\n\"System Notification: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for conquering Yongye Town, rewarded 200 merit points.\" ……\n\"System Notification: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for conquering Yishui Town, rewarded 200 merit points.\" ……\n\"System Notification: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for conquering Guangshui Town, rewarded 200 merit points.\" ……\n\"System Notification: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for conquering Gushan Town, rewarded 200 merit points.\" ……\nOuyang Shuo had conquered the territories of four members of the Sky Blade Alliance one after another, which made Xiaofeng Canyue and Ba Dao panic. The only consolation was that their territories were too far away, which gave them a temporary reprieve from pressure.\nThe loss of the western alliance troops proved one thing—even with outside help, they couldn’t go against Shanhai City. Instead, they would end up on the receiving end of Qiyue Wuyi's crazy revenge if they took action.\nYongye Town thought that they could survive for a while, but now Qiyue Wuyi had forcefully evicted them.\n9th month, 6th day night, the troops had reached Tianfeng Town.\nOuyang Shuo planned to use their tactic against them. He would attack in the early morning tomorrow.\nAt 5 AM the next day, the sky was slightly bright, and the fog hadn't dispersed. The air was still humid and water droplets formed on the shirts.\nThe Tianfeng Town suburbs were quiet, and even the most hard working farmers were asleep.\nSuddenly, the sound of horseshoes shattered the silence of the suburbs.\nThe galloping sounds woke the farmers that lived outside the city. A middle aged men muttered, as he opened the door. But when he saw the cavalry troops, his mouth gaped open, and he ran back into his room in fear.\n\"Husband, who is outside?\" asked a woman in the house.\n\"Hush, don't make a sound,\" said the astonished farmer. Then, he warned, “Military troops, an endless amount. Seems like we have to fend for our lives again. Haiz, it was so hard to settle down. Why must we face such a situation?\"\n“Let's just leave matters of war for the lord to worry. Do you think he can win?\"\n\"You're a woman, so what do you know. The little kid from the neighbouring house went to war for the lord, but he didn't return. I heard that none of the people that joined the lord’s army returned.\" The farmer wasn't as optimistic as his wife.\n\"Then, what should we do?\" said the wife, as she panicked.\n\"What can we do? Pack up our stuff and run!\"\nAt 6 AM in the morning, a orange red sun slowly rose from the east, and the sleeping town slowly woke up.\nAt this moment, the Shanhai troops were only two kilometers from Tianfeng Town’s wall. When the patrolling troops saw a large force, they panicked and immediately sounded the alarm.\nThe resounding alarm broke the peaceful atmosphere and soldiers rushed out of the camps inside the city to the top of the city gate. A fast horse galloped on the streets of the little town, as the rider hollered, “Give way! Quick, make way!\"\nThe rider stopped in front of the Lord's Manor. He didn't deal with his horse and just rushed into the manor. As he ran in, he shouted, Emergency military news! Emergency military news!\"\nTianfeng Town lord Xiaofeng Canyue hurried into the meeting hall and asked, “What's the situation?\"\n\"Sire, more than thousands of cavalries have appeared outside of the town, and they don’t look friendly!\"\n\"What? Can you repeat what you just said?\" Xiaofeng Canyue was so afraid that he dropped the tea cup in his hand, and it fell to the ground.\nXiaofeng Canyue sat on the chair, depressed, It was like he had lost his soul, as he muttered, \"Qiyue Wuyi, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, to actually chase all the way here.\"\n\"Sire, what should be do?\"\nXiaofeng Canyue froze. When he regained his composure, he said, “Order the troops on the walls to defend. They are cavalry, so they aren't good at sieging. We still have a chance.\"\n\"Yes, sire!\"\nAfter the rider backed away, XiaofengCanyue couldn't remain calm anymore. He was very clear that the 300 Guards he had put together wouldn't be able to defend the wall.\nHe opened the alliance channel and contacted the last remaining ally of the Sky Blade Alliance, Ba Dao, “Brother Dao, Qiyue Wuyi is a devil. He has already attacked here, so I hope you can send some troops to help me.\"\nBa Dao freaked out. His first reaction wasn't to send help to Tianfeng Town. Instead, he ordered troops to patrol and check if there were any Shanhai troops around his territory.\n\"Brother Xiaofeng, it's not like you don't know. The main forces of Broken Blade Town were destroyed. I want to help, but I can't.\" What a joke, Ba Dao definitely would not help at such a time.\nBa Dao’s attitude infuriated Xiaofeng Canyue, and he ruthlessly said, “Brother Dao, if the lips die, the teeth will feel cold. Such a theory, you don't need me to explain it to you, right? Qiyue Wuyi has already killed Heise Pifeng and the rest. Now, we can only rely on one another. If you don't help me, Shanhai City’s next opponent will be Brother Dao.\"\nBa Dao obviously understood this theory. However, everyone had their own troubles. He gritted his teeth and said, “Brother Xiaofeng, don't panic. Once I confirm that there aren't any Shanhai City troops here, I will immediately assist you. How about that?\"\nXiaofeng Canyue knew that this was the best that he could get. “I'll wait for you,\" as he said that, he closed the alliance channel to get ready for battle.\nXiaofeng Canyue knew that the city wall would definitely not hold. To not get conquered, he could only defend the Lord's Manor and buy time for Ba Dao's troops to arrive."

第二百二十七章
回到山海县的时候，已经是下午四点。
欧阳朔没有赶回侯府，而是直奔军务署，听取军务署长葛洪亮的汇报。 得知第三旅取得的丰硕战果，欧阳朔郁闷的心情总算得到一些缓解。
大将恶来果然没有让他失望，仅凭此一战，就足以让恶来在军中站稳脚跟，在第三旅树立威信。 有恶来坐镇城东大营，欧阳朔很放心。
欧阳朔吩咐葛洪亮，将所有俘虏全部安置在预备役。
此役东西两路一共俘虏两千八百余士卒，这批俘虏都是正规军，不需要再次转职，欧阳朔自然不会浪费，在合适的时候，就会让他们全部转为现役。
欧阳朔接着将城西大营的军事行动，告知葛洪亮，让军务署配合执行。
欧阳朔继续发布军令，“命令第二旅第二营，立即赶到大本营报道；命令泅水县城防营，协助第三旅东进，剿灭宜水镇和固山镇。
神机营兵分两路，分别协助城西大营和城东大营，完成此次剿灭任务。”
欧阳朔这次是动了真怒，丝毫不想给敌人留任何活路。
“喏！”
离开军务署，欧阳朔又马不停蹄地赶到城内军营。 他找到神机营营正王元丰，跟他交待一番之后，方才回到侯府。
战争的消息，已经在领地传开。
欧阳朔刚一回来，府里立即热闹起来。 宋佳和映柚她们一直在担心欧阳朔的安危，如今见他平安归来，终于放下心来。
欧阳朔通过联盟频道，将发生在山海县的战役，向盟友作了一个简单通报，提醒他们注意对领地的防范，以免遇到宵小之徒。
通过这场战役，欧阳朔意识到，领地对边境的预警，做的还远远不够。 领地面积扩大之后，没有在边界及时建设哨塔，才让敌人有机可乘。
“杀破军还真是无耻啊，偷鸡不成蚀把米！”
“无衣，这是杀破军的个人行为，还是炎黄盟在背后捣鬼？” 白桦问道。
欧阳朔摇头，说：“无端的猜测，没有任何意义，静观其变吧。” 正如风华绝代担心的一样，欧阳朔也不想这么早就挑起两个联盟之间的全面战争。
白桦何等聪明，立即听懂欧阳朔的画外音，说：“明白。”
盖亚元年九月四日，山海县。
早上六点，欧阳朔带着亲卫、军情司长宋三以及神机营营正王元丰，汇合第二旅第二营，再次出城，直奔城西大营而去。
在城西大营，欧阳朔稍作停留，汇合已经休息好的亲卫营和第二旅第一营，再次启程。 这一次，他的目标是位于廉州盆地最西面的天风镇。
据军情司长宋三介绍，天风镇距离山海县足足三百公里，距离城西大营，也有两百四十余公里，就建在西拉湖湖畔。
欧阳朔的战略意图很明确，就是借此彻底清除领地西面的威胁，将廉州盆地西面最主要的三座玩家领地一口气全部拔除。
为此，他不惜带领大军远征。
天风镇领主晓风残月一定想不到，欧阳朔会带着大军远征。
烈日当空，在军情司细作的引领下，一支一千五百人的精锐骑兵部队，深入茫茫荒野，正式踏上复仇之旅。
为了加快行军速度，缩短行军时间，欧阳朔特意从城西牧场临时征调一千五百匹青蚨马，确保每一名骑兵都有两匹青蚨马，可以在路上轮换骑乘。
军情司选择的路线，特意避开途中的永夜镇和广水镇，以免节外生枝。 当天下午，大军就顺利跨过永夜镇，深入西部荒野最深处。
为了此次远征，欧阳朔准备充足，不仅带来足够的行军帐篷，还有兵工厂提供的军粮丸以及两架三弓八牛床子弩，将储物囊塞得满满当当。
九月五日，欧阳朔耳边接连传来系统提示音。
“系统提示：恭喜玩家岂曰无衣攻下永夜镇，奖励功勋值200点。”
“系统提示：恭喜玩家岂曰无衣攻下宜水镇，奖励功勋值200点。”
“系统提示：恭喜玩家岂曰无衣攻下广水镇，奖励功勋值200点。”
“系统提示：恭喜玩家岂曰无衣攻下固山镇，奖励功勋值200点。”
天刀盟四位盟友领地接连被破，让晓风残月和霸刀惶惶不可终日。 唯一值得安慰的，就是自己的领地距离山海县太远，暂时无忧。
西路联军的失利，已经充分证明，即使是请外援，也对抗不了强大的山海县，反而会招来岂曰无衣更加疯狂的报复。
永夜镇他们原本还可以苟活一段时间，现在却不得不提前退场。
九月六日夜间，远征军抵达天风镇外围。
欧阳朔准备以其人之道，还治其人之身，明天凌晨发动进攻。
第二天凌晨五点，天刚微明，雾气还没有完全散去，空气湿漉漉的，打在衣服上，时间一长，慢慢形成一块块水渍。
天风镇郊外静悄悄的，即使是最勤奋的农夫，也还在睡觉，万籁俱寂。
哒哒的马蹄声，突兀响起，由远及近，打破郊外的沉寂。
马蹄声惊醒城外定居的农夫，一名中年农夫嘟囔着打开院门，抬头看到外面走过的骑兵部队，不禁目瞪口呆，吓得赶紧躲回屋内。
“孩子他爹，外面是谁啊？” 屋里人问道。
看来又得流浪了。 哎，好不容易安稳下来，怎么又遇到这种事情呢？”
“当家的，打仗的事，还是交给领主大人操心吧，兴许能打胜仗呢？”
“妇道人家，你懂什么。 隔壁王五家的小子，就是参军的那个，三天前跟领主出征，再也没有回来。 我听说啊，领地大军在外面打了败仗，带出去的儿郎，没有一个活着回来。”
妇人大惊失色。 “还能怎么办？
赶紧收拾细软，准备跑路吧！”
凌晨六点，一轮橘红色的朝阳，慢慢从东方地平线上升起，迷雾开始散去，沉睡一夜的小镇，渐渐苏醒过来。
此时此刻，大军距离天风镇城墙只有不到两公里。 城墙上巡逻的守卫，远远看到逼近的大军，不禁大惊失色，忙不迭地拉响警报。
刺耳的警报声，打破小镇祥和的气氛，城内守军冲出军营，往城墙上赶。 一匹快马疾驰在小镇街道上，骑士大声喊道：“让开，快点让开！”
骑士在领主府前停下，甚至来不及算上马匹，急匆匆地跑进领主府，一边跑，一边喊道：“紧急军情！ 紧急军情！”
天风镇领主晓风残月匆匆从后院赶到议事厅，喝问道：“什么情况？”
“启禀大人，城外出现数千骑兵部队，来者不善！”
你再说一遍？” 晓风残月吓得将刚端起的茶杯掉在地上。 骑士不敢怠慢，老老实实地复述一遍。
晓风残月一屁股坐在凳子上，失魂落魄，嘴里喃喃自语：“天亡我矣，岂曰无衣，没想到你这么狠，竟然追到这里来。”
“大人，接下来该怎么办？”
晓风残月一怔，回过神来，强自镇定下来，“命令部队全部到城墙上防守，他们是骑兵，并不擅长攻城，我们还有机会。”
“喏！”
骑士退下后，晓风残月再也无法保持镇定，自家事自个儿清楚，他知道仅凭临时拼凑的三百守卫，是无论如何都挡不住的。
晓风残月打开联盟频道，联系天刀盟最后一位盟友霸刀，“刀兄，岂曰无衣这个恶魔，打到我这里来了，还请刀兄无论如何，都要派兵来援助一下。”
霸刀吓得一哆嗦，他的第一反应不是去救援天风镇，而是吩咐卫兵去侦查一下，看看自己领地外面有没有山海县的军队。
“晓风兄，你又不是不知道，断刃镇的主力部队全部被歼灭，我是有心无力啊。” 开什么玩笑，霸刀现在才不敢去增援天风镇。
晓风残月气极，狠狠地说道：“刀兄，唇亡齿寒的道理，不用我来解释吧。 黑色披风他们已经被山海县干掉，现在能够互相倚重的，就只有我们两个。
晓风残月说的道理，霸刀何尝不明白，只是家家有本难念的经，他一咬牙，说道：“晓风兄，你不要着急。 等我确认自己领地没有山海县的军队，就立即驰援天风镇，怎么样？”
晓风残月知道，这已经是自己能够争取到的最好结果，苦涩地说道：“那我等着刀兄。” 说着关闭联盟频道，开始积极备战。
晓风残月深知，城墙是肯定守不住，要想不被攻占，唯有死死守住领主府，争取扛到霸刀的增援部队赶来为止。

Chapter 227 - Expedition
By the time he returned to Shanhai City, it was already 4 PM.
He didn't directly rush back to the Lord's Manor. Instead, he headed toward the Military Affairs Department to listen to the report of the military affairs director, Ge Hongliang. When he heard that the 3rd regiment had obtained stellar results, his depressed heart felt a little relieved.
General Er'Lai didn't let him down. With this battle alone, he would gain a footing in the military. He would garner reputation and respect in the 3rd regiment. With him at the head of the 3rd regiment, Ouyang Shuo didn't have to worry at all.
Ouyang Shuo ordered Ge Hongliang to place all the prisoners in the reserve force.
The prisoners from both the east and west sides totaled at 2,800 soldiers. They were all proper soldiers and didn't need to class change. Ouyang Shuo naturally wouldn't waste them. At a proper time, he would place all of them in his army.
Ouyang Shuo told Ge Hongliang about the city west camp operation and asked the Military Affairs Department to assist.
"Director Ge, pass down my words!" Then, Ouyang Shuo commanded, “Order the 2nd unit of the 2nd regiment to rush to the main camp; order the Qiushui Town City Protection Unit
to help the 3rd regiment destroy Yishui Town and Gushan Town. The God Machine Unit shall split into two, one to help the city west camp and the other to help the city east camp to complete this operation."
This time, Ouyang Shuo was really enraged, and he didn't want to give his enemies any chances.
"Yes, my lord!"
After he left the Military Affairs Department, Ouyang Shuo didn't stop and rushed to the inner city barracks. He found the God Machine Unit Major, Wang Yuanfeng. After he gave the major some instructions, Ouyang Shuo returned to the Lord's Manor.
The news of the war had spread out in the territory.
When Ouyang Shuo returned, the manor was bustling. Song Jia and Yingyu heaved a sigh of relief when the saw him come back. Ouyang Shuo's safety had worried them.
Ouyang Shuo sent a message about the ambush he faced in Shanhai City in the alliance channel. He warned his allies to pay attention to their territory borders in case of similar situations.
From this battle, Ouyang Shuo realized that the warning system at the border was far from enough. After the territory increased, they hadn't set up sentry towers at the border, which gave the enemy a chance.
"Sha Pojun is so shameless!" Gong Chengshi scolded.
"Wuyi, is this Sha Pojun's own act or Yanhuang Alliance playing tricks?" Bai Hua asked.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, “Baseless guesses have no meaning. Let's wait and see." Ouyang Shuo had similar worries to Fenghua Juedai. He didn't want to start a war between the two alliances so early.
Bai Hua was smart and immediately understood what Ouyang Shuo meant and said, "Understood."
Gaia first year, 9th month, 4th day, Shanhai City.
At 6 AM, Ouyang Shuo brought along his Guards, military affairs secretary Songsan, God Machine Unit Major Wang Yuanfeng, and the 2nd unit of the 2nd regiment. They exited the city and went straight toward the city west camp.
At the city west camp, Ouyang Shuo stopped shortly to meet up with the Guards unit and the resting 1st unit of the 2nd regiment. This time, they set off toward Tianfeng Town, which was at the west-most side of the Lianzhou Basin.
Based on the military affairs secretary’s introduction, Tianfeng Town was 300 kilometres away from Shanhai City. It was 240 kilometres away from the city west camp, near the Xila Lake.
Ouyang Shuo's strategic motives were simple—to totally destroy the threat on the west side. He wanted to pluck out the three main lord's on the west of Lianzhou Basin.
For this, he had to bring the troops on a long journey.
Tianfeng Town lord Xiaofeng Canyue definitely wouldn't expect Ouyang Shuo to do that. Hence, Shanhai City purely brought cavalry. They planned to attack them before they could react.
The blistering sun was high up in the sky. Under the directions of the military affairs spy, a 1,500 men elite cavalry force ventured deep into the wilderness, toward the path of revenge.
To increase their speed, they took shorter rests. Ouyang Shuo had also taken 1,500 Qingfu horses from the city west horse stables. This action ensured that each cavalry had two Qingfu horses, so they could substitute between the two on the way.
The Military Affairs Division intentionally chose a route that avoided Yongye Town and Guangshui Town to prevent stirring up more side issues. In the afternoon, the force smoothly went past Yongye Town and entered to the deepest point of the wilderness.
For this long mission, Ouyang Shuo had made ample preparations. Not only did he bring enough Xingjun Tents, he also brought the military grain pills and the two triple-bow arcuballistas, which filled his storage bag to the brim.
9th month, 5th day, a series of simple notifications appeared in his ear.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for conquering Yongye Town, rewarded 200 merit points." ……
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for conquering Yishui Town, rewarded 200 merit points." ……
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for conquering Guangshui Town, rewarded 200 merit points." ……
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for conquering Gushan Town, rewarded 200 merit points." ……
Ouyang Shuo had conquered the territories of four members of the Sky Blade Alliance one after another, which made Xiaofeng Canyue and Ba Dao panic. The only consolation was that their territories were too far away, which gave them a temporary reprieve from pressure.
The loss of the western alliance troops proved one thing—even with outside help, they couldn’t go against Shanhai City. Instead, they would end up on the receiving end of Qiyue Wuyi's crazy revenge if they took action.
Yongye Town thought that they could survive for a while, but now Qiyue Wuyi had forcefully evicted them.
9th month, 6th day night, the troops had reached Tianfeng Town.
Ouyang Shuo planned to use their tactic against them. He would attack in the early morning tomorrow.
At 5 AM the next day, the sky was slightly bright, and the fog hadn't dispersed. The air was still humid and water droplets formed on the shirts.
The Tianfeng Town suburbs were quiet, and even the most hard working farmers were asleep.
Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes shattered the silence of the suburbs.
The galloping sounds woke the farmers that lived outside the city. A middle aged men muttered, as he opened the door. But when he saw the cavalry troops, his mouth gaped open, and he ran back into his room in fear.
"Husband, who is outside?" asked a woman in the house.
"Hush, don't make a sound," said the astonished farmer. Then, he warned, “Military troops, an endless amount. Seems like we have to fend for our lives again. Haiz, it was so hard to settle down. Why must we face such a situation?"
“Let's just leave matters of war for the lord to worry. Do you think he can win?"
"You're a woman, so what do you know. The little kid from the neighbouring house went to war for the lord, but he didn't return. I heard that none of the people that joined the lord’s army returned." The farmer wasn't as optimistic as his wife.
"Then, what should we do?" said the wife, as she panicked.
"What can we do? Pack up our stuff and run!"
At 6 AM in the morning, a orange red sun slowly rose from the east, and the sleeping town slowly woke up.
At this moment, the Shanhai troops were only two kilometers from Tianfeng Town’s wall. When the patrolling troops saw a large force, they panicked and immediately sounded the alarm.
The resounding alarm broke the peaceful atmosphere and soldiers rushed out of the camps inside the city to the top of the city gate. A fast horse galloped on the streets of the little town, as the rider hollered, “Give way! Quick, make way!"
The rider stopped in front of the Lord's Manor. He didn't deal with his horse and just rushed into the manor. As he ran in, he shouted, Emergency military news! Emergency military news!"
Tianfeng Town lord Xiaofeng Canyue hurried into the meeting hall and asked, “What's the situation?"
"Sire, more than thousands of cavalries have appeared outside of the town, and they don’t look friendly!"
"What? Can you repeat what you just said?" Xiaofeng Canyue was so afraid that he dropped the tea cup in his hand, and it fell to the ground.
Xiaofeng Canyue sat on the chair, depressed, It was like he had lost his soul, as he muttered, "Qiyue Wuyi, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, to actually chase all the way here."
"Sire, what should be do?"
Xiaofeng Canyue froze. When he regained his composure, he said, “Order the troops on the walls to defend. They are cavalry, so they aren't good at sieging. We still have a chance."
"Yes, sire!"
After the rider backed away, XiaofengCanyue couldn't remain calm anymore. He was very clear that the 300 Guards he had put together wouldn't be able to defend the wall.
He opened the alliance channel and contacted the last remaining ally of the Sky Blade Alliance, Ba Dao, “Brother Dao, Qiyue Wuyi is a devil. He has already attacked here, so I hope you can send some troops to help me."
Ba Dao freaked out. His first reaction wasn't to send help to Tianfeng Town. Instead, he ordered troops to patrol and check if there were any Shanhai troops around his territory.
"Brother Xiaofeng, it's not like you don't know. The main forces of Broken Blade Town were destroyed. I want to help, but I can't." What a joke, Ba Dao definitely would not help at such a time.
Ba Dao’s attitude infuriated Xiaofeng Canyue, and he ruthlessly said, “Brother Dao, if the lips die, the teeth will feel cold. Such a theory, you don't need me to explain it to you, right? Qiyue Wuyi has already killed Heise Pifeng and the rest. Now, we can only rely on one another. If you don't help me, Shanhai City’s next opponent will be Brother Dao."
Ba Dao obviously understood this theory. However, everyone had their own troubles. He gritted his teeth and said, “Brother Xiaofeng, don't panic. Once I confirm that there aren't any Shanhai City troops here, I will immediately assist you. How about that?"
Xiaofeng Canyue knew that this was the best that he could get. “I'll wait for you," as he said that, he closed the alliance channel to get ready for battle.
Xiaofeng Canyue knew that the city wall would definitely not hold. To not get conquered, he could only defend the Lord's Manor and buy time for Ba Dao's troops to arrive.

"value": "Maid Lotus, Wu Zongheng, and the others arrived safely at the military camp in Wushan. Only a little mishap happened throughout the journey, where Miss Ming Zhen of the Gulping Wind Gorge and her personal maid Han Xuan had asked to follow them.\nMing Zhen was Ha Chilie’s fiancée. She did not know martial arts and looked delicate, but she was stubborn. She was shy about speaking certain things, so she asked her maid Han Xuan to speak on her behalf. “What’s wrong with a woman wanting to visit her fiance? If you don’t want to take us with you, we can walk on our own. We will just be taking the same road. We don’t need you to take care of us.”\nWu Zongheng was the leader among them. He agreed to take them with a bitter smile but proposed, “The mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk on foot. We won’t wait for you if you can’t follow our pace.”\nThe fact was that Ming Zhen did not become a burden for them. On the way, she never once complained whether on horseback or on foot. She was tough and tolerant, unlike like a lady from a respected family. Han Xuan, on the other hand, brought them so much more trouble. She was one to directly voice her feelings and complaints, leaving Wu Zongheng unsure what to do with her.\nThere was only one person who could make her keep quiet among them.\nWhen Ha Chilie had selected his fiancée among countless women, it was Maid Lotus who pinpointed Ming Zhen. Thus, she was sort of their matchmaker. She and several disciples of the New Moon Hall kept their distance from Wu Zonghan and the rest and showed Ming Zhen and Han Xuan no concern during the day. Neither did they stay in the same place at night. Some of them would often disappear out of the blue before showing up again.\nThe New Moon Hall was always mysterious. Gu Shenwei was accustomed to it, but his subordinates were not. Ignoring the six female guards, Wu Zongheng only ordered his ten soldiers to pitch tents, prepare meals, march, and take a break.\nThe ten soldiers were as skeptical about the New Moon Hall disciples as their leader. One swordsman from the Great Snowmountain who had been following after them for some time murmured, “They’re scarier when Dragon King isn’t around.” The rest shared his opinion.\nThe New Moon Hall disciples never built a fire, asked them for food, or put up a tent in the evening. No one knew what they ate or where they slept. These soldiers were afraid of them, and they ignored the soldiers. Sometimes when these disciples walked through the team, they ignored the team with apathetic and confused expressions as if they were sleepwalking.\nMiss Ming might have once intended to get on Maid Lotus’ good side but gave up the minute she saw Maid Lotus. However, her maid had different thoughts and was always trying to blend in with the New Moon Hall disciples.\nHan Xuan had a mysterious story. She was sold to the Gulping Wind Gorge as a little girl. One day, a mysterious woman appeared and taught her martial arts. This woman was later discovered to be a New Moon Hall disciple but what she taught Han Xuan was not martial arts from the hall. Moreover, she also refused to take Han Xuan with her.\nSince then, Han Xuan considered herself as a partial New Moon Hall disciple. But the renegade of the New Moon Hall who occupied the Gulping Wind Gorge did not recognize her and thus, Maid Lotus and the rest did not consider her their companion.\nHowever, Han Xuan was a tenacious person. Each time when they pitched tents, she would take the initiative to approach these disciples regardless of others’ warning and Ming Zhen’s pleading.\nBesides, she had a talent. Besides Maid Lotus, she could trace the hidden disciples of New Moon Hall with her sensitive nose. The other five could never hide without her finding them. Therefore, she often interrupted them when they were performing their tasks.\nThe disciples would go somewhere else once Han Xuan found them. No one would treat her nicely, but their behavior never frustrated her. She told Ming Zhen, “I think they’re friendly. I like them better than the former disciples of the New Moon Hall.”\nMing Zhen did not know what to say when she heard this. She became afraid at the thought of her maid becoming stranger and more similar to the mad women of the New Moon Hall. But she dared not tell Han Xuan this and only prayed to meet her fiance soon.\nOne day, Han Xuan finally pissed off a New Moon Hall disciple and a fight broke out between them.\nThe soldiers were far away from them when their fight began. They were about to cook with ingredients. But when they saw their fierce fight, they took aback and stood still, looking at them. Ming Zhen covered her mouth, stopping herself from crying out at the sight of them fighting.\nIt was not an ordinary spar. The two were serious about their fight and were trying to kill each other.\nWu Zongheng could not ignore the New Moon Hall disciples anymore. Being the leader of the team, he had to stand out and stop the fight.\nWu Zongheng was afraid to approach them. He had to command in an embarrassed voice, “I need you to stop immediately in the name of Dragon King!”\n“They fear Dragon King!” he thought. Wu Zongheng was relieved after seeing the two mad women stop fighting, despite their angry glares at each other.\nSuddenly, he felt a chill down his back and tried to turn around to see what was behind him. But he found that his body became too stiff to do that as if an evil spell had struck him.\nMaid Lotus walked past him. So it was not Dragon King but the Managing Master of the New Moon Hall who stopped their fight.\n“What happened?” Maid Lotus asked.\nThe disciple who fought with Han Xuan was Han Fen, whom Managing Master trusted most. “It’s her fault. I hid well, but she kept pacing back and forth in front of me. I can’t even breathe because of her!” Han Fen said.\nHan Xuan retorted in anger, “You’re the one who didn’t hide well! How can you blame me for it? If you can’t pee one day, are you going to say it’s my fault too?”\n“I won’t be able to pee if you’re standing next to me! Of course it’s your fault!”\nCompared to the New Moon Hall disciples, Han Xuan was less formal and held lesser admiration for Maid Lotus. She became furious after hearing Han Fen’s words and ran toward her, trying to attack her even with Maid Lotus around.\nHan Xuan and Han Fen ran to each other with their full strength as if they wanted to tear each other to pieces.\nThis time, they were stopped before they could use their skills.\nMaid Lotus dashed forward and stood between them, easily separating them with her hands.\nThis was the first time Wu Zongheng saw Dragon King’s personal guard using her martial arts. He did not recognize many of the secret techniques that she used. He simply found her to be amazing for stopping their fight without getting hurt.\nHan Xuan was much more shocked. After Maid Lotus slapped her, she had to take several steps backward before she could regain a firm footing. Her Internal Breath was in disorder and it took her a while to recover. She said in surprise, “You’re… that strong?”\nHan Xuan began to admire her.\n“Managing Master is the best martial artists in the world,” Han Fen said, not at all minding the fact that she was forced to step off. “You’re not bad yourself. You can withstand my occult sciences.”\nWith that, their dispute came to an end. Han Xuan befriended Han Fen after the fight, getting one step closer to her goal. No one had expected this outcome.\nWu Zongheng and other soldiers found it to be amazing but Ming Zhen was terrified. She feared that her maid would become as ruthless as the New Moon Hall disciples.\nHowever, she had overestimated Han Fen’s influence. When they finally reached the military camp of Tuo Nengya, Han Xuan was still the same as she always was.\nTheir smooth-sailing journey was over but before they even entered the military camp, they could feel that something bad had happened.\nThe barracks were located in a cramped valley, with there was only a single path that led inside. On the seventh day’s afternoon since parting with Dragon King, a soldier in the team as a guide excitedly pointed at the front. “It’s over there, just a few miles away!”\nWu Zongheng felt uneasy because he did not know Tuo Nengya. From Dragon King’s words, however, he got the impression that Tuo Nengya would be a considerate old machetemen. However, he was taken aback when he saw no sentry posts near the barracks. That was too careless of Tuo Nengya.\nWhen they bypassed the foot of the mountain, they finally saw people.\nA group of twenty to thirty cavaliers in tribe’s clothes speedily rode to them. They did not slow down at the sight of them, so Wu Zongheng had to make way for them.\n“Excuse me…” Before the guide could ask them anything, the group was already far away. The guide murmured in confusion, “What the hell is going on?”\nEveryone realized that something was wrong.\nAs they walked on, a dozen people walked up to them from the direction of barracks. They looked like mine thieves, with ragged clothing and long sabers carried over their shoulders. Even from a distance, they were already staring at the women in the team, especially Ming Zhen.\nBefore Wu Zongheng could speak to them, one of the mine thieves said loudly, “Go back! You don’t have to go the barracks anymore.”\n“What happened?”\n“Nothing,” some of them replied. They kept walking, but their eyes were fixed on the women. “Perhaps Dragon King disbanded the army because he couldn’t afford the soldiers’ pay and provisions.”\n“I thought that I could earn some money and get the land from him.”\n“Keep an eye on your women. They’re not safe in the barracks.”\nWu Zongheng had lots of doubts. “My mission is to send Dragon King’s secret order and assist Tuo Nengya in heading for the ambush location with his troops. If the troops are disbanded, I won’t be able to summon enough soldiers within a short time.”\nThey walked faster and encountered many small groups on the way. Most of them wore a displeased expression in silence. Even those who were willing to talk were trying to persuade him to return.\nSoon, they arrived at the barracks. They saw that the gate of barracks was open and no guard could be seen.\nIt was a mess inside the barracks. The only ones left were good people who did not want to make trouble. Most soldiers chose to stay behind and encircled the main tent while shouting in anger.\n“How can you break your promise? Where are our money and land?”\n“If you want us to leave, first fulfill your promise!”\nWu Zongheng was the first to squeeze into the crowd. The rest followed him in a line. Ten soldiers were divided into two groups, with some standing in front and the others bringing up the rear. The eight women were in the middle.\nThe appearance of Maid Lotus and the other women caused a small riot and the crowd shifted to let them pass. They whispered in one another’s ear and discussed those strange guests. Suddenly someone shouted, “Give me a woman, then I won’t ask for a reward.”\nThe crowd roared with laughter, their anger seemingly subsided.\nThe New Moon Hall disciples did not react after hearing this. Instead, it was Han Xuan who got irritated. She glared at the men around them while keeping the startled Ming Zhen away from the crowd.\nThe main tent was under the protection of hundreds of guards. All of them stood still, with their sabers and swords out.\n“I’m Dragon King’s messenger, here to meet the commander of thousands, Tuo Nengya, and vice commander of thousands, Ha Chilie.” Wu Zongheng did not give his name because he had a bad feeling about the whole thing.\nThe guards did not let them in, but one of them entered the tent after hearing his words. When he walked out of the tent, he indicated for his fellow guards to move out of the way.\nWu Zongheng commanded the soldiers to stay outside and entered the tent with Maid Lotus and Ming Zhen. Han Xuan was worried about Ming Zhen, so she entered as well. Han Fen followed after her.\nThere were four to five men inside the tent. Ha Chilie walked to them in a hurry. When he caught sight of Maid Lotus, his eyes sparkled. “Lady Maid Lotus, did Dragon King come himself?”\nThen, he saw the shy Ming Zhen. He paused momentarily before asking, “Why are you here?”\nMaid Lotus introduced Wu Zongheng to him.\n“What happened? Why are the troops disbanded? Where’s the commander of thousands?” Wu Zongheng raised a series of questions without making small talk.\nHa Chilie did not immediately answer for he was unfamiliar with Wu Zongheng. However, he trusted Maid Lotus and thus replied, “There was a Golden Roc killer who hid in the barracks and assassinated the commanders of thousands.”"

荷女与武宗恒一行人顺利抵达乌山军营，中间只发生过一次小小的意外，吞风峡谷的小姐名珍与丫环韩萱也要跟来。
名珍是哈赤烈的未婚妻，不会武功，看上去娇娇弱弱的，xìng子却执拗得很，有些话她不好意思说，就让丫环韩萱代言，“未婚妻子探望未婚夫婿，天经地义，你们要是嫌累赘，我们自己走，大家同路而已，不需要你们帮忙。”
武宗恒是这一行人的首领，苦笑着接受这两名不速之客，只提出一个要求，“山路艰辛，我们可不等人。”
韩萱十分豪爽，拍胸保证，“放心好了，小姐走不动也是我背着。” 事实证明，名珍没有给队伍增添一点负担，无论骑马还是步行，从没叫过一声苦，坚忍得不像是从小被人服侍的小姐，反倒是韩萱，处处大惊小怪，每每直言不讳，让武宗恒时常为难。
队伍中唯有一个人能震得住她。
当初哈赤烈在一堆女人当中挑选未婚妻，是荷女指定的名珍，可算是媒人，不过像她这么冷冰冰的媒人可不多见，她与几名晓月堂弟子通常与队伍保持着距离，入夜扎营时也不在一处，而且经常有一两人失踪不见，不定什么时候又会突然冒出来。
晓月堂行事诡秘，顾慎为早已习以为常，其他人却很难接受，武宗恒的态度是假装六名女护卫根本不存在，只管对十名士兵下达命令，安营、开饭、起营、休息，从不过问她们的行为。
十名士兵也都跟首领一样，对晓月堂弟子心怀戒惧，一名跟随龙王多时的大雪剑客有一回小声说出众人的心声，“没有龙王罩着，她们看上去好像更吓人了。”
的确，晓月堂弟子从不开火，不来索要食物，晚上也不安放帐篷，没人知道她们吃什么、怎么睡觉，男人害怕她们，她们也视男人如空气，偶尔从队伍中间走过，如入无人之境，神情迷茫而冷漠，像是在梦游一般。
如果说名珍小姐曾经有过亲近荷女的想法，也在互视第一眼之后立刻打消了这个念头，她的丫环韩萱却兴致勃勃，总想加入到晓月堂弟子的行列中去。
韩萱身世奇特，从小被卖到吞风峡，某天突然来了一名神秘女子，事后证实是晓月堂弟子，教她武功，却并非本门路数，也不肯带她离开主人家。
因此，韩萱一直认为自己也算是半个晓月堂弟子，可惜，当初占据吞风峡的晓月堂叛徒不认她，荷女等人更没将她视为同门。
韩萱不会轻易放弃，每次安营，她都不顾众人的提醒与小姐的恳求，主动接近“同门中人”。
而且她有一个本事，不看也不听，似乎仅仅依靠嗅觉就能找到潜藏中的晓月堂弟子，除了荷女，其她五人谁也逃不过她的搜索，正在执行的任务经常被她打断。
被发现了就换一个地方，没人对韩萱有好脸sè，韩萱并不气馁，她对小姐说：“我看她们很亲切，比从前那伙晓月堂的人更合我意。”
将“亲切”两个字加在荷女等人的头上，名珍不知该说些什么，她心里有点害怕，觉得自己的丫环正变得怪异，举止越来越像晓月堂的疯女人，但她可不敢说出来，只是祈祷快些见到未婚夫。
终于有一次，韩萱惹恼了一位晓月堂弟子，两人爆发了一场短暂的战斗。
远处的士兵们正准备做饭，手里拿着米锅肉菜，都被战斗的激烈场景吓了一跳，呆呆地遥望，名珍小姐更是捂住嘴，拼命忍住尖叫。
两人不是普通的切磋与较量，而是生死相搏。
武宗恒不能再假装晓月堂弟子不存在了，他是队伍的首领，在这种时刻必须担当起职责。
武宗恒不敢靠近，只得尴尬地再次发出命令，“以龙王的名义，立刻住手！”
“龙王”两个字似乎有效果，武宗恒欣慰地发现两个疯女子停止了打斗，怒目而视，但的确能控制自己了。
武宗恒突然觉得后背发凉，身体一阵僵硬，好像中了邪术，连转身都困难。
荷女从他身边走过，原来发挥作用的不是龙王，而是晓月堂御众师。
“怎么回事？” 荷女问道。
与韩萱发生争斗的晓月堂弟子是韩芬，本门弟子当中最受御众师“信任”的人，“是她，我藏得好好的，她总在我面前晃来晃去，让我不能呼吸，都快要憋死啦。”
韩萱也恼怒地说：“是你藏得不好，怪我做甚？ 难道哪天你拉不出屎尿，也是我的错？”
“你要是站在我旁边，我肯定拉不出，自然是你的错！”
相对于晓月堂弟子，韩萱要正常一点，因此对“强辞夺理”就特别愤怒，她对荷女的敬畏要少一些，当着她的面也敢动手。
韩萱与韩芬恶狠狠地扑向对方，看样子非得把敌人撕成碎片才肯罢休。
这一次，她们没有交上手。
荷女身形一闪，冲到两人中间，双手随意拍出，将她们分开。
武宗恒第一次见到龙王贴身护卫出手，没看出太多门道来，只觉得她能在两名疯女人中间全身而退，是个了不起的举动。
韩萱就比他吃惊多了，她跟荷女对了一掌，连退七八步才重新站稳，内息翻涌，好像烧开的热水，好一会才渐渐平复，“你……这么厉害？”
“那是当然，御众师的武功天下第一。”
韩芬得意扬扬地替荷女吹嘘，她也被迫后退数步，一点也不在乎，“你也不错，竟然受得了我的秘术。”
两韩的争执到此结束，让所有人意想不到的是，此战之后，韩萱终于在晓月堂弟子中间打开一处缺口：她与韩芬成为朋友。
武宗恒等人只是觉得不可思议，名珍可就有点害怕了，以为丫环会变得跟晓月堂弟子一样冷酷无情。
韩芬的影响力似乎没有那么大，当一行人赶到陀能牙的军营时，韩萱还是从前的样子，没什么变化。
顺利的旅程结束了，还没进入军营，众人就感受到麻烦的气息。
军营位于一处狭小的山谷里，有一条小路通往此地，离开龙王的第七天下午，队伍中一名充作向导的部族士兵高兴地向前方一指，“前面就是，不远了，几里路而已。”
武宗恒感到不安，他不认识陀能牙，但是从龙王那里得来的印象，那应该是一位行事稳重的老刀客，可是在军营这么近的地方竟然没有岗哨，实在有点大意。
绕过一处山脚，有人出现了。
一队骑士，二三十人，穿着显示他们是部族成员，疾速驶来，见到来人也没有减速，武宗恒一行只得主动让开。
“喂……”向导还没来得及发问，骑士们已经跑过去，“这算怎么回事？”
所有人都感到不对劲了。
再行一段路，又有数人从军营的方向步行走来，看样子像是矿盗，衣裳简陋，肩上抗着长刀，相貌粗鲁，从远处就开始直直地盯着队伍中的女人，尤其是名珍。
但他们肯开口，不等武宗恒发问，一名矿盗已经大声说道：“调头吧，不用去了。”
“发生什么事了？”
“没什么事。” 几人没有停步，目光仍贪婪地停留在女人身上，“龙王大概是没钱付军饷了，正在遣散军队呢。”
“还以为能混几个酒钱，得块土地什么的，唉。”
“看好你们的女人，营里可不太平。”
武宗恒疑虑重重，他的使命是传达龙王秘旨，协助陀能牙带领军队前往指点的埋伏地点，士兵要是被遣散，短时间之内可没有办法重新召集。
众人加快速度，一路上碰到许多撤离军营的人，三五成群，大多数人都冷着脸，显然很不高兴，偶尔有人说话，也全是奉劝武宗恒调头。
军营大门敞开，没有卫兵把守。
里面已经乱成一锅粥，肯离开的还是老实人，大多数士兵仍然留下，将主帐包围，愤怒地叫嚷。 “让陀能牙出来！”
“凭什么说话不算数，钱呢？ 地呢？”
“打发我们走，先把承诺兑现！”
武宗恒带头挤进人群，十名男兵分守两头，八名女子走在中间。
荷女等人的出现，引发一阵小小的sāo乱，人群自动分开让路，纷纷交头接耳，议论这队陌生来客，不知道谁喊了一句，“给我一个女人，老子不要报酬啦。”
人群哄笑，愤怒气氛减弱了几分。
晓月堂弟子听而不闻，只有韩萱义愤填膺，严厉地盯着周围的男人，小心地护着惊恐不安的名珍。
主帐由数百名卫兵保护，全都刀剑出鞘，严阵以待。
“我是龙王派来的使者，求见千尉陀能牙与副千尉哈赤烈。” 武宗恒感到事情不妙，所以没有报出自己的姓名。
卫兵们没有放行，但是有人进帐通禀，当他出来时，示意卫兵让路。
武宗恒命令士兵留在外面，只与荷女、名珍进帐，韩萱不放心，随后也跟了进去，韩芬像她的影子，紧随其后。
帐内只有四五个人，副千尉哈赤烈迎了上来，看到荷女，眼睛一亮，“荷女大人，龙王亲自来了吗？”
随后看到娇羞的名珍，呆了一下才说：“你怎么来了？”
荷女向他介绍副千尉武宗恒。
陀千尉呢？” 武宗恒没jīng力客套，抛出一连串的问题。
哈赤烈面露犹疑，他不认识武宗恒，可他相信荷女，“陀千尉不幸遇刺，军营里藏有金鹏杀手。”

Maid Lotus, Wu Zongheng, and the others arrived safely at the military camp in Wushan. Only a little mishap happened throughout the journey, where Miss Ming Zhen of the Gulping Wind Gorge and her personal maid Han Xuan had asked to follow them.
Ming Zhen was Ha Chilie’s fiancée. She did not know martial arts and looked delicate, but she was stubborn. She was shy about speaking certain things, so she asked her maid Han Xuan to speak on her behalf. “What’s wrong with a woman wanting to visit her fiance? If you don’t want to take us with you, we can walk on our own. We will just be taking the same road. We don’t need you to take care of us.”
Wu Zongheng was the leader among them. He agreed to take them with a bitter smile but proposed, “The mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk on foot. We won’t wait for you if you can’t follow our pace.”
The fact was that Ming Zhen did not become a burden for them. On the way, she never once complained whether on horseback or on foot. She was tough and tolerant, unlike like a lady from a respected family. Han Xuan, on the other hand, brought them so much more trouble. She was one to directly voice her feelings and complaints, leaving Wu Zongheng unsure what to do with her.
There was only one person who could make her keep quiet among them.
When Ha Chilie had selected his fiancée among countless women, it was Maid Lotus who pinpointed Ming Zhen. Thus, she was sort of their matchmaker. She and several disciples of the New Moon Hall kept their distance from Wu Zonghan and the rest and showed Ming Zhen and Han Xuan no concern during the day. Neither did they stay in the same place at night. Some of them would often disappear out of the blue before showing up again.
The New Moon Hall was always mysterious. Gu Shenwei was accustomed to it, but his subordinates were not. Ignoring the six female guards, Wu Zongheng only ordered his ten soldiers to pitch tents, prepare meals, march, and take a break.
The ten soldiers were as skeptical about the New Moon Hall disciples as their leader. One swordsman from the Great Snowmountain who had been following after them for some time murmured, “They’re scarier when Dragon King isn’t around.” The rest shared his opinion.
The New Moon Hall disciples never built a fire, asked them for food, or put up a tent in the evening. No one knew what they ate or where they slept. These soldiers were afraid of them, and they ignored the soldiers. Sometimes when these disciples walked through the team, they ignored the team with apathetic and confused expressions as if they were sleepwalking.
Miss Ming might have once intended to get on Maid Lotus’ good side but gave up the minute she saw Maid Lotus. However, her maid had different thoughts and was always trying to blend in with the New Moon Hall disciples.
Han Xuan had a mysterious story. She was sold to the Gulping Wind Gorge as a little girl. One day, a mysterious woman appeared and taught her martial arts. This woman was later discovered to be a New Moon Hall disciple but what she taught Han Xuan was not martial arts from the hall. Moreover, she also refused to take Han Xuan with her.
Since then, Han Xuan considered herself as a partial New Moon Hall disciple. But the renegade of the New Moon Hall who occupied the Gulping Wind Gorge did not recognize her and thus, Maid Lotus and the rest did not consider her their companion.
However, Han Xuan was a tenacious person. Each time when they pitched tents, she would take the initiative to approach these disciples regardless of others’ warning and Ming Zhen’s pleading.
Besides, she had a talent. Besides Maid Lotus, she could trace the hidden disciples of New Moon Hall with her sensitive nose. The other five could never hide without her finding them. Therefore, she often interrupted them when they were performing their tasks.
The disciples would go somewhere else once Han Xuan found them. No one would treat her nicely, but their behavior never frustrated her. She told Ming Zhen, “I think they’re friendly. I like them better than the former disciples of the New Moon Hall.”
Ming Zhen did not know what to say when she heard this. She became afraid at the thought of her maid becoming stranger and more similar to the mad women of the New Moon Hall. But she dared not tell Han Xuan this and only prayed to meet her fiance soon.
One day, Han Xuan finally pissed off a New Moon Hall disciple and a fight broke out between them.
The soldiers were far away from them when their fight began. They were about to cook with ingredients. But when they saw their fierce fight, they took aback and stood still, looking at them. Ming Zhen covered her mouth, stopping herself from crying out at the sight of them fighting.
It was not an ordinary spar. The two were serious about their fight and were trying to kill each other.
Wu Zongheng could not ignore the New Moon Hall disciples anymore. Being the leader of the team, he had to stand out and stop the fight.
Wu Zongheng was afraid to approach them. He had to command in an embarrassed voice, “I need you to stop immediately in the name of Dragon King!”
“They fear Dragon King!” he thought. Wu Zongheng was relieved after seeing the two mad women stop fighting, despite their angry glares at each other.
Suddenly, he felt a chill down his back and tried to turn around to see what was behind him. But he found that his body became too stiff to do that as if an evil spell had struck him.
Maid Lotus walked past him. So it was not Dragon King but the Managing Master of the New Moon Hall who stopped their fight.
“What happened?” Maid Lotus asked.
The disciple who fought with Han Xuan was Han Fen, whom Managing Master trusted most. “It’s her fault. I hid well, but she kept pacing back and forth in front of me. I can’t even breathe because of her!” Han Fen said.
Han Xuan retorted in anger, “You’re the one who didn’t hide well! How can you blame me for it? If you can’t pee one day, are you going to say it’s my fault too?”
“I won’t be able to pee if you’re standing next to me! Of course it’s your fault!”
Compared to the New Moon Hall disciples, Han Xuan was less formal and held lesser admiration for Maid Lotus. She became furious after hearing Han Fen’s words and ran toward her, trying to attack her even with Maid Lotus around.
Han Xuan and Han Fen ran to each other with their full strength as if they wanted to tear each other to pieces.
This time, they were stopped before they could use their skills.
Maid Lotus dashed forward and stood between them, easily separating them with her hands.
This was the first time Wu Zongheng saw Dragon King’s personal guard using her martial arts. He did not recognize many of the secret techniques that she used. He simply found her to be amazing for stopping their fight without getting hurt.
Han Xuan was much more shocked. After Maid Lotus slapped her, she had to take several steps backward before she could regain a firm footing. Her Internal Breath was in disorder and it took her a while to recover. She said in surprise, “You’re… that strong?”
Han Xuan began to admire her.
“Managing Master is the best martial artists in the world,” Han Fen said, not at all minding the fact that she was forced to step off. “You’re not bad yourself. You can withstand my occult sciences.”
With that, their dispute came to an end. Han Xuan befriended Han Fen after the fight, getting one step closer to her goal. No one had expected this outcome.
Wu Zongheng and other soldiers found it to be amazing but Ming Zhen was terrified. She feared that her maid would become as ruthless as the New Moon Hall disciples.
However, she had overestimated Han Fen’s influence. When they finally reached the military camp of Tuo Nengya, Han Xuan was still the same as she always was.
Their smooth-sailing journey was over but before they even entered the military camp, they could feel that something bad had happened.
The barracks were located in a cramped valley, with there was only a single path that led inside. On the seventh day’s afternoon since parting with Dragon King, a soldier in the team as a guide excitedly pointed at the front. “It’s over there, just a few miles away!”
Wu Zongheng felt uneasy because he did not know Tuo Nengya. From Dragon King’s words, however, he got the impression that Tuo Nengya would be a considerate old machetemen. However, he was taken aback when he saw no sentry posts near the barracks. That was too careless of Tuo Nengya.
When they bypassed the foot of the mountain, they finally saw people.
A group of twenty to thirty cavaliers in tribe’s clothes speedily rode to them. They did not slow down at the sight of them, so Wu Zongheng had to make way for them.
“Excuse me…” Before the guide could ask them anything, the group was already far away. The guide murmured in confusion, “What the hell is going on?”
Everyone realized that something was wrong.
As they walked on, a dozen people walked up to them from the direction of barracks. They looked like mine thieves, with ragged clothing and long sabers carried over their shoulders. Even from a distance, they were already staring at the women in the team, especially Ming Zhen.
Before Wu Zongheng could speak to them, one of the mine thieves said loudly, “Go back! You don’t have to go the barracks anymore.”
“What happened?”
“Nothing,” some of them replied. They kept walking, but their eyes were fixed on the women. “Perhaps Dragon King disbanded the army because he couldn’t afford the soldiers’ pay and provisions.”
“I thought that I could earn some money and get the land from him.”
“Keep an eye on your women. They’re not safe in the barracks.”
Wu Zongheng had lots of doubts. “My mission is to send Dragon King’s secret order and assist Tuo Nengya in heading for the ambush location with his troops. If the troops are disbanded, I won’t be able to summon enough soldiers within a short time.”
They walked faster and encountered many small groups on the way. Most of them wore a displeased expression in silence. Even those who were willing to talk were trying to persuade him to return.
Soon, they arrived at the barracks. They saw that the gate of barracks was open and no guard could be seen.
It was a mess inside the barracks. The only ones left were good people who did not want to make trouble. Most soldiers chose to stay behind and encircled the main tent while shouting in anger.
“How can you break your promise? Where are our money and land?”
“If you want us to leave, first fulfill your promise!”
Wu Zongheng was the first to squeeze into the crowd. The rest followed him in a line. Ten soldiers were divided into two groups, with some standing in front and the others bringing up the rear. The eight women were in the middle.
The appearance of Maid Lotus and the other women caused a small riot and the crowd shifted to let them pass. They whispered in one another’s ear and discussed those strange guests. Suddenly someone shouted, “Give me a woman, then I won’t ask for a reward.”
The crowd roared with laughter, their anger seemingly subsided.
The New Moon Hall disciples did not react after hearing this. Instead, it was Han Xuan who got irritated. She glared at the men around them while keeping the startled Ming Zhen away from the crowd.
The main tent was under the protection of hundreds of guards. All of them stood still, with their sabers and swords out.
“I’m Dragon King’s messenger, here to meet the commander of thousands, Tuo Nengya, and vice commander of thousands, Ha Chilie.” Wu Zongheng did not give his name because he had a bad feeling about the whole thing.
The guards did not let them in, but one of them entered the tent after hearing his words. When he walked out of the tent, he indicated for his fellow guards to move out of the way.
Wu Zongheng commanded the soldiers to stay outside and entered the tent with Maid Lotus and Ming Zhen. Han Xuan was worried about Ming Zhen, so she entered as well. Han Fen followed after her.
There were four to five men inside the tent. Ha Chilie walked to them in a hurry. When he caught sight of Maid Lotus, his eyes sparkled. “Lady Maid Lotus, did Dragon King come himself?”
Then, he saw the shy Ming Zhen. He paused momentarily before asking, “Why are you here?”
Maid Lotus introduced Wu Zongheng to him.
“What happened? Why are the troops disbanded? Where’s the commander of thousands?” Wu Zongheng raised a series of questions without making small talk.
Ha Chilie did not immediately answer for he was unfamiliar with Wu Zongheng. However, he trusted Maid Lotus and thus replied, “There was a Golden Roc killer who hid in the barracks and assassinated the commanders of thousands.”

"value": "Chapter 424 - A Hard Battle\n“Poof!” Nie Wenlong spat out a mouthful of blood.\nHe fell to the ground.\nWith a bang, he dropped to the bottom of the 100-meter cliff, forming a human-shaped pit. His body was covered by mudstone; no one knew whether he was alive or not.\n“Swoosh!”\nZhang Ruochen lowered to the ground and walked towards the large hole.\nWithout the protection of a Celestial Bodyshield, even a warrior at the Completion of the Heaven Realm would die after a 100-meter drop.\nHowever, Nie Wenlong had experienced numerous life-or-death battles in the Battlefield of the Primitive World. Most of the time, he managed to kill stronger enemies in unfavorable situations.\nIn terms of reaction speed, many warriors at the same Realm were incomparable to him.\nJust as he was about to touch down, he had injected Genuine Qi into his amulet treasure, to ward off the impact of the fall.\nNie Wenlong remained where he had fallen, not moving, waiting for opportunity to strike.\nWhen Zhang Ruochen approached, he would kill him.\nWhat he didn’t know was that Zhang Ruochen had seen through his scheme with his strong spiritual power.\nZhang Ruochen walked beside the pit. His face expressed that he was defenseless, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.\n“Swoosh!” Nie Wenlong suddenly charged out from the ground. Holding a black poison needle, he stabbed into Zhang Ruochen’s eyebrows.\n“Go to hell!” he roared.\nThe black poison needle was made from hundreds of highly toxic poisons. He had refined this original treasure through the practice of A Hundred Toxins Palm.\nIf the needle pierced the skin, the poison would enter into the bloodstream. Even superiors at the First Change of the Fish-dragon Realm would fail to escape from death.\nOnly “Skin Refining to Gold” cultivators at the Second Change of the Fish-dragon Realm could resist the attack of a poison needle.\nNie Wenlong seemed to act quickly, but Zhang Ruochen reacted even faster. He was ready.\nZhang Ruochen struck Nie Wenlong in the chest, slamming his ribs.\nHis lungs and heart turned into blood mud. Blood began to seep through his clothes. “How… How… could it… possible… ”\nNie Wenlong was trembling from head to toe, his eyes open wide in shock. He had never thought that he would be killed by a junior.\nZhang Ruochen walked towards him leisurely. “You haven’t practiced the Treasure Body of Wood Spirit to completion. If it was perfect it, it couldn’t be broken by the palm power I just exerted.”\nZhang Ruochen squatted down and took out Nie Wenlong’s black poison needle. He observed it carefully, nodding his head. “This should be effective enough to defeat superiors at the First Change of the Fish-dragon Realm. It’s really a treasure.”\nHe put the needle away, figuring that even if it was useless to him, he could sell it and get a good price.\n“Awful.” Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s pupils shrank. He quickly turned and activated the Dragon Pearl’s defensive force, forming a golden defensive cover. “Whew!”\nA mass of purple supernatural power condensed into a spear was flying towards him from far away. It hit his golden defensive cover.\nThe golden defensive cover generated a circle of ripples and flew away. It hit the cliff. “Boom!”\nA large number of boulders collapsed, burying Zhang Ruochen underneath.\nMaster Shenhai flew to the top of a pine tree, as if walking through the clouds. He gazed out over the cliff. He did not get close but rather stayed in the distance.\n“Was he killed in one blow?”\nMaster Shenhai had wanted to rescue Nie Wenlong. However, he had been defeated too quickly.\nMaster Shenhai was now aware of Zhang Rouchen’s powerful strength. He no longer looked down upon him. He did not get close; he planned to attack from a distance. “Boom!”\nThe scattered stones were broken into fine powders.\nZhang Ruochen walked out from the dust, unscathed, just a little embarrassed.\nHe glared at Master Shenhai in the distance. “Your cultivation is much stronger than that of the other three masters from the Evil Wood Palace.”\n“Humph! Zhang Ruochen, you destroyed the Evil Wood Palace millennium foundation and killed my disciples. I’ll smash you to pieces!” Master Shenhai shouted.\n“I have nothing to say. Let’s see your true power.”\nZhang Ruochen took out the Violet Thunder Sword. He moved his feet to the left and right separately, lifted his arms, and placed the sword horizontally, forming an opening posture.\nMaster Shenhai shook his head. In a cynical tone he said, “Your sword can’t hurt me, Zhang Ruochen.”\n“Don’t be so sure.”\nZhang Ruochen displayed the Shadow of the Royal Wind Dragon and rushed out.\n“King of Treemen.”\nMaster Shenhai mobilized his supernatural power to the Bone Stave. As he waved his arms, wisps of cyan Spiritual Qi of wood nature gathered together. It formed a ball of light, then condensed into vines, leaves, branches, and finally a 30-meter-high Treeman. It launched its attack.\nThe Treeman King’s power was comparable to that of cultivators at the Second Change of the Fish-dragon Realm. Just one swipe forced Zhang Ruochen to retreat.\nEven if he mobilized the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth with his Martial Soul, his power was still inferior. “Ten-thousand-feet Prairie Fire.”\nZhang Ruochen released his Genuine Qi, triggering a vision of heaven and earth. The Spiritual Qi gathered within the 3300-meter surrounding area and formed into a large sea of raging fire.\nZhang Ruochen put his hands together, mobilizing the flame into a blazing python. It wound its way towards the huge Treeman.\nBut the Treeman appeared not to fear the flame at all. It moved forward and punched Zhang Ruochen in the head again.\nMaster Shenhai laughed. “The Treeman King is made from the original power of wood nature. A common flame can do nothing to it.”\n“Even if you had a cultivation at the Third Change of the Fish-dragon Realm, you couldn’t defeat it. Unless you had Source of Spiritual Fire from the Temple of Holy Fire and refined it.”\n“Zhang Ruochen, you can’t even reach my sleeves. How can you expect to fight with me?”\nZhang Ruochen remained silent. He thrust his feet against the ground and bounced up above of the Treeman’s head. He infused Genuine Qi into the Violet Thunder Sword and swung it. “WOOSH!”\nDozens of vines protruded from the Treeman. They wrapped around his arm.\nZhang Ruochen had not finished his sword move. He felt a great gust of power and was thrown back.\nBANG! He fell to the ground more than 30 meters away. He slipped back another 30 meters from the impact.\nThe treeman raised his hands to attack Zhang Ruochen again before he gave a sigh of relief.\nZhang Ruochen hit the ground with his left hand. He turned over and flew up, allowing him to escape the attack.\n“Boom!”\nThe Treeman thudded to the ground, leaving two giant holes. The rock was crushed into powder.\nTreeman? No, an absolute iron giant.\n“Master Shenhai, do you really think I can’t hurt you just because the Treeman is blocking me?” Zhang Ruochen asked, dodging the Treeman’s attack.\nZhang Ruochen drew out a White Jade Hairpin. He injected Genuine Qi into it and the Jade Hairpin immediately turned into a white Holy Sword.\n“Soul-breaking Windwhisper.” Zhang Ruochen mobilized all his Genuine Qi. He slashed and chopped at the Treeman. The Treeman was hacked into two pieces. It’s upper body flew back.\nThe Treeman was reduced to wisps of fog. …\n“Sword Defending Technique!” Zhang Ruochen didn’t give Master Shenhai an opportunity to react. Holding the Holy Sword in one hand, and the Violet Thunder Sword in the other, he stabbed Master Shenhai from a distance by wielding Sword Defending Technique. “Swoosh!”\nThe Violet Thunder Sword gave off a dazzling light as it sped toward Master Shenhai at a speed faster than sound.\nMaster Shenhai waved the Bone Stave to exert supernatural power, stopping the sword. The Violet Thunder Sword flew back quickly, whamming, cutting, slicing and chopping; it kept Master Shenhai busy.\nBefore Master Shenhai could stand steady, Zhang Ruochen had reached him with the Holy Sword in hand. He slashed at him with a long Sword Breath. Master Shenhai made a quick evasion.\nHe managed to avoid the Holy Sword, but not the Violet Thunder Sword.\n“Crash!” The Violet Thunder Sword pierced his robe and stabbed him in the back with a crash.\nMaster Shenhai had not only finished practicing the Treasure Body of Wood Spirit, he had also reached Skin Refining to Gold. Even the Violet Thunder Sword, a tenth level Genuine Martial Arms couldn’t break through his defense.\nMaster Shenhai snorted derisively. He wielded his Bone Stave to hit Zhang Ruochen’s right shoulder. Zhang Ruochen waved his Holy Sword to meet it.\n“Boom!”\nZhang Ruochen was repelled again. His arm that held the Holy Sword was spilling a stream of blood.\nThe Dragon Scales on his arm had totally cracked, scarlet blood and flesh came out.\nMaster Shenhai snorted. “Even if you can boast the same power as cultivators of the Fish-dragon Realm, you’re still a mortal.” Master Shenhai had often talked with Nie Wenlong about Martial Arts. He knew that he was in the Fish-dragon Realm.\nHe also knew a warrior from Kunlun’s Field who could practice his soul into a Martial Soul.\nZhang Ruochen had a stronger Martial Soul, however, Master Shenhai hadn’t fought with Zhang Ruochen in that way. Instead, he had kept his Martial Soul inside his body and exercised supernatural power to protect it.\nSo it was far beyond the range of possibility for Zhang Ruochen to kill Master Shenhai using Martial Soul."

424.第424章
一口鲜血，从聂文龙的嘴里吐出。
他的身体，以极快的速度，向地面坠落下去。
嘭地一声，聂文龙重重的摔落到百米高的悬崖下方，砸出一个人形大坑，泥石淹没身体，也不知是生是死？
“哗！”
张若尘飘然的落到地面，向那一个大坑走了过去。
在没有护体天罡的保护之下，就算是天极境大圆满的武者，从百米高的地方落下去，也是死路一条。
但是，聂文龙在墟界战场不知经历了多少次生死大战，很多时候，甚至能够在不利于他的环境之中，杀死比他强大的敌人。
所以，他的反应速度，远不是别的同境界武者可以比拟。
就在即将坠落在地的那一刹那，他将真气注入护身宝物，帮他抵挡住了下坠的冲击力。
聂文龙依旧趴在坑中，一动不动，等待机会。
只要张若尘走近，他便要给予张若尘致命一击，从而绝地反杀。
他却不知，以张若尘强大的精神力，早就已经看穿虚实。
张若尘的嘴角露出一丝弧度，一副毫无防备的样子，走在大坑的旁边。
犹如死去一般的聂文龙，突然，从地底冲出，手中捏着一根黑色的毒针，刺向张若尘眉心。
“去死吧！” 聂文龙厉吼一声。
黑色毒针，由上百种剧毒凝聚而成，乃是聂文龙修炼百毒神掌，炼出的一件本源宝物。
只要被毒针刺破皮肤，毒素就会进入血液，即便是鱼龙第一变的强者，也难逃一死。
只有鱼龙第二变“炼皮成金”的修士，才能以皮肤挡住毒针的袭击。
聂文龙的出手速度，看似很快，张若尘却早有防备，出手速度，比他更快。
张若尘一掌拍击出去，击在聂文龙胸口，将他的肋骨打得塌了下去，形成一个五指凹坑。
胸腔中的肺叶和心脏，在掌力的冲击之下，化为血泥，鲜血不断从衣服中渗透出来。
聂文龙浑身颤抖，眼睛瞪大，怎么都没想到会死在张若尘这一个小辈的手中。
张若尘闲庭信步一般的走过去，道：“你的木灵宝体修炼得还不够圆满，真正圆满的木灵宝体，凭我刚才的那一掌的力量，根本破不开。”
张若尘蹲下身，将聂文龙手中的黑色毒针取了过去，仔细观察，点了点头，道：“毒血精气凝聚成的针，应该足够用来对付鱼龙第一变的强者，倒是一件宝物。”
将黑色毒针收了起来，将他用不着，也可以卖出去，应该可以卖出一个很好的价格。
突然，张若尘的瞳孔一缩，立即转身，将龙珠的防御力激发出来，形成一个金色的防御罩。
一团紫色的法力，凝聚成一根长矛，从远处的天边飞来，猛然击在金色防御罩上面。
金色防御罩发出波浪一般的涟漪，在长矛的攻击之下，飞了出去，撞击在崖壁上面。
一大片崖石，垮塌下来，将张若尘掩埋在了下面。
神骸法王驾驭木属性的灵气，犹如踩着一片青色祥云，飞到一颗铁叶松树的顶部，眺望着崖壁的方向。
“难道只用一击，就已经将他杀死？”
神骸法王亲眼看到张若尘击毙聂文龙，本来他想出手营救，却来不及，只能怪聂文龙败得太快。
也正是见识到张若尘的强大实力，才让神骸法王略微有些忌讳，收去轻视之心，并不靠近张若尘，打算从远处攻击。
乱石炸开，化为齑粉。
张若尘从泥尘中走了出来，毫发无损，只是显得略微有些狼狈。
他的目光，望向远处神骸法王，“不愧是鱼龙第二变的修为，比邪木宫的另外三大法王强大得不是一星半点。”
“哼！ 张若尘，你毁了邪木宫千年基业，杀我宫中弟子，我要让你死得连渣都不剩。”
“没有什么好说，手底下见真招。”
张若尘取出紫雷剑，脚步向左右移开，抬起手臂，横剑而指，做了一个起手式。
神骸法王摇了摇头，讥诮的笑，“张若尘，你的剑攻击不到老夫。”
“那可不一定。”
张若尘施展出御风飞龙影的身法，急速冲了出去。
神骸法王调动法力，注入手中的白骨法杖，手臂一挥。
一缕缕青色的木属性灵气汇聚过来，形成一团光球，凝聚出藤蔓、枝叶、木柱，最后化为一个九丈高的巨大树人，向张若尘攻击过去。
树人之王的力量，堪比鱼龙第二变的修士，一拳击出，将张若尘打得倒退而回。
即便是利用武魂，调动天地灵气，张若尘的力量依旧比鱼龙第二变的修士弱了一筹。
张若尘释放出体内的真气，引动天地异象，方圆千丈之内的灵气，转化为火焰，形成一片巨大的火海。
张若尘的双手一合，调动火焰，汇聚成一条火焰蛟蟒，向那一个巨大的树人缠绕过去。
树人似乎根本不惧火焰，大步前进，再次一拳击向张若尘的头顶。
神骸法王大笑一声，道：“树人之王，是由本源的木属性力量凝聚而成，一般的火焰根本奈何不了它。”
“除非你能够从圣火殿取来灵火之源，才能将它焚炼，要不然的话，就算你拥有鱼龙第三变的修为，也无法将它击溃。”
“张若尘，你连我的衣袖都碰不到，还想与我一战？”
张若尘不言，双脚一蹬，从地上弹射而起，落入树人的头顶上方，将真气源源不断注入紫雷剑，挥斩了下去。
树人的身上，冲出数十根藤蔓，将张若尘的手臂缠住。
张若尘的剑，还没有斩下去，就感觉到一股大力传来，将他甩了出去。
嘭地一声，张若尘落到十多丈之外，在那一股冲击力的作用之下，又向后滑行了十丈远，才将那一股力量完全卸去。
未等张若尘松一口气，树人抬起双手，又已经攻击下来。
张若尘的左手在地面一击，翻飞而起，躲过树人的攻击。
“轰！”
树人的拳头，击在地上，留下两个巨大的凹坑，岩石都不击碎。
这哪是树人，简直就是一个巨大的铁人。
“神骸法王，你真以为有树人阻拦，我就攻击不到你？”
张若尘从衣袖中取出一根白玉钗，将真气注入其中，白玉钗立即化为一柄白色圣剑。
张若尘运起全身真气，一剑斜劈出去，在树人的身前斩过，树人直接断成两截，上半身飞了出去。
树人，立即化为一缕缕烟雾，消失不见。
张若尘不再给神骸法王出手的机会，一只手握着圣剑，另一只手将紫雷剑打了出去，使用御剑术，刺向远处的神骸法王。
紫雷剑散发出刺目的电光，以超过音速的速度，冲到神骸法王的面前。
可是，紫雷剑立即又飞了回去，再次发起攻击，或是刺，或是斩，或是劈，或是挑，将神骸法王打得手忙脚乱。
就在神骸法王稳住脚步的时候，张若尘提着圣剑，已经冲到他的面前，拖出一道长长的剑气，挥斩了过去。
避开了圣剑，却避不开紫雷剑。
紫雷剑刺破他的法师长袍，击在他的后背，发出一声金属碰撞的声音。
神骸法王不仅修炼成木灵宝体，而且，还达到鱼龙第二变“炼皮成金”，即便是十阶真武宝器级别的紫雷剑，也无法破开他的防御。
神骸法王冷哼一声，挥动白骨法杖，横扫过去，击向张若尘的右肩。 与此同时，张若尘挥动圣剑，迎击了上去。
“轰！”
张若尘再次被击退了回去，提着圣剑的手臂溢出一缕缕鲜血。
手臂上的龙鳞，完全裂开，可以看见绯红的血肉。
神骸法王与聂文龙交流过武道，所以，他知道，鱼龙境，与法师之王是一样的境界。
同时，他也知道，昆仑界的武者，可以将灵魂，修炼成武魂。
张若尘的武魂，虽然比神骸法王的武魂强大，但是，神骸法王根本就不和张若尘比拼武魂，而是将武魂留在体内，用法力保护。
所以，张若尘想要通过武魂将神骸法王击杀，根本就是不可能的事。

Chapter 424 - A Hard Battle
“Poof!” Nie Wenlong spat out a mouthful of blood.
He fell to the ground.
With a bang, he dropped to the bottom of the 100-meter cliff, forming a human-shaped pit. His body was covered by mudstone; no one knew whether he was alive or not.
“Swoosh!”
Zhang Ruochen lowered to the ground and walked towards the large hole.
Without the protection of a Celestial Bodyshield, even a warrior at the Completion of the Heaven Realm would die after a 100-meter drop.
However, Nie Wenlong had experienced numerous life-or-death battles in the Battlefield of the Primitive World. Most of the time, he managed to kill stronger enemies in unfavorable situations.
In terms of reaction speed, many warriors at the same Realm were incomparable to him.
Just as he was about to touch down, he had injected Genuine Qi into his amulet treasure, to ward off the impact of the fall.
Nie Wenlong remained where he had fallen, not moving, waiting for opportunity to strike.
When Zhang Ruochen approached, he would kill him.
What he didn’t know was that Zhang Ruochen had seen through his scheme with his strong spiritual power.
Zhang Ruochen walked beside the pit. His face expressed that he was defenseless, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
“Swoosh!” Nie Wenlong suddenly charged out from the ground. Holding a black poison needle, he stabbed into Zhang Ruochen’s eyebrows.
“Go to hell!” he roared.
The black poison needle was made from hundreds of highly toxic poisons. He had refined this original treasure through the practice of A Hundred Toxins Palm.
If the needle pierced the skin, the poison would enter into the bloodstream. Even superiors at the First Change of the Fish-dragon Realm would fail to escape from death.
Only “Skin Refining to Gold” cultivators at the Second Change of the Fish-dragon Realm could resist the attack of a poison needle.
Nie Wenlong seemed to act quickly, but Zhang Ruochen reacted even faster. He was ready.
Zhang Ruochen struck Nie Wenlong in the chest, slamming his ribs.
His lungs and heart turned into blood mud. Blood began to seep through his clothes. “How… How… could it… possible… ”
Nie Wenlong was trembling from head to toe, his eyes open wide in shock. He had never thought that he would be killed by a junior.
Zhang Ruochen walked towards him leisurely. “You haven’t practiced the Treasure Body of Wood Spirit to completion. If it was perfect it, it couldn’t be broken by the palm power I just exerted.”
Zhang Ruochen squatted down and took out Nie Wenlong’s black poison needle. He observed it carefully, nodding his head. “This should be effective enough to defeat superiors at the First Change of the Fish-dragon Realm. It’s really a treasure.”
He put the needle away, figuring that even if it was useless to him, he could sell it and get a good price.
“Awful.” Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s pupils shrank. He quickly turned and activated the Dragon Pearl’s defensive force, forming a golden defensive cover. “Whew!”
A mass of purple supernatural power condensed into a spear was flying towards him from far away. It hit his golden defensive cover.
The golden defensive cover generated a circle of ripples and flew away. It hit the cliff. “Boom!”
A large number of boulders collapsed, burying Zhang Ruochen underneath.
Master Shenhai flew to the top of a pine tree, as if walking through the clouds. He gazed out over the cliff. He did not get close but rather stayed in the distance.
“Was he killed in one blow?”
Master Shenhai had wanted to rescue Nie Wenlong. However, he had been defeated too quickly.
Master Shenhai was now aware of Zhang Rouchen’s powerful strength. He no longer looked down upon him. He did not get close; he planned to attack from a distance. “Boom!”
The scattered stones were broken into fine powders.
Zhang Ruochen walked out from the dust, unscathed, just a little embarrassed.
He glared at Master Shenhai in the distance. “Your cultivation is much stronger than that of the other three masters from the Evil Wood Palace.”
“Humph! Zhang Ruochen, you destroyed the Evil Wood Palace millennium foundation and killed my disciples. I’ll smash you to pieces!” Master Shenhai shouted.
“I have nothing to say. Let’s see your true power.”
Zhang Ruochen took out the Violet Thunder Sword. He moved his feet to the left and right separately, lifted his arms, and placed the sword horizontally, forming an opening posture.
Master Shenhai shook his head. In a cynical tone he said, “Your sword can’t hurt me, Zhang Ruochen.”
“Don’t be so sure.”
Zhang Ruochen displayed the Shadow of the Royal Wind Dragon and rushed out.
“King of Treemen.”
Master Shenhai mobilized his supernatural power to the Bone Stave. As he waved his arms, wisps of cyan Spiritual Qi of wood nature gathered together. It formed a ball of light, then condensed into vines, leaves, branches, and finally a 30-meter-high Treeman. It launched its attack.
The Treeman King’s power was comparable to that of cultivators at the Second Change of the Fish-dragon Realm. Just one swipe forced Zhang Ruochen to retreat.
Even if he mobilized the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth with his Martial Soul, his power was still inferior. “Ten-thousand-feet Prairie Fire.”
Zhang Ruochen released his Genuine Qi, triggering a vision of heaven and earth. The Spiritual Qi gathered within the 3300-meter surrounding area and formed into a large sea of raging fire.
Zhang Ruochen put his hands together, mobilizing the flame into a blazing python. It wound its way towards the huge Treeman.
But the Treeman appeared not to fear the flame at all. It moved forward and punched Zhang Ruochen in the head again.
Master Shenhai laughed. “The Treeman King is made from the original power of wood nature. A common flame can do nothing to it.”
“Even if you had a cultivation at the Third Change of the Fish-dragon Realm, you couldn’t defeat it. Unless you had Source of Spiritual Fire from the Temple of Holy Fire and refined it.”
“Zhang Ruochen, you can’t even reach my sleeves. How can you expect to fight with me?”
Zhang Ruochen remained silent. He thrust his feet against the ground and bounced up above of the Treeman’s head. He infused Genuine Qi into the Violet Thunder Sword and swung it. “WOOSH!”
Dozens of vines protruded from the Treeman. They wrapped around his arm.
Zhang Ruochen had not finished his sword move. He felt a great gust of power and was thrown back.
BANG! He fell to the ground more than 30 meters away. He slipped back another 30 meters from the impact.
The treeman raised his hands to attack Zhang Ruochen again before he gave a sigh of relief.
Zhang Ruochen hit the ground with his left hand. He turned over and flew up, allowing him to escape the attack.
“Boom!”
The Treeman thudded to the ground, leaving two giant holes. The rock was crushed into powder.
Treeman? No, an absolute iron giant.
“Master Shenhai, do you really think I can’t hurt you just because the Treeman is blocking me?” Zhang Ruochen asked, dodging the Treeman’s attack.
Zhang Ruochen drew out a White Jade Hairpin. He injected Genuine Qi into it and the Jade Hairpin immediately turned into a white Holy Sword.
“Soul-breaking Windwhisper.” Zhang Ruochen mobilized all his Genuine Qi. He slashed and chopped at the Treeman. The Treeman was hacked into two pieces. It’s upper body flew back.
The Treeman was reduced to wisps of fog. …
“Sword Defending Technique!” Zhang Ruochen didn’t give Master Shenhai an opportunity to react. Holding the Holy Sword in one hand, and the Violet Thunder Sword in the other, he stabbed Master Shenhai from a distance by wielding Sword Defending Technique. “Swoosh!”
The Violet Thunder Sword gave off a dazzling light as it sped toward Master Shenhai at a speed faster than sound.
Master Shenhai waved the Bone Stave to exert supernatural power, stopping the sword. The Violet Thunder Sword flew back quickly, whamming, cutting, slicing and chopping; it kept Master Shenhai busy.
Before Master Shenhai could stand steady, Zhang Ruochen had reached him with the Holy Sword in hand. He slashed at him with a long Sword Breath. Master Shenhai made a quick evasion.
He managed to avoid the Holy Sword, but not the Violet Thunder Sword.
“Crash!” The Violet Thunder Sword pierced his robe and stabbed him in the back with a crash.
Master Shenhai had not only finished practicing the Treasure Body of Wood Spirit, he had also reached Skin Refining to Gold. Even the Violet Thunder Sword, a tenth level Genuine Martial Arms couldn’t break through his defense.
Master Shenhai snorted derisively. He wielded his Bone Stave to hit Zhang Ruochen’s right shoulder. Zhang Ruochen waved his Holy Sword to meet it.
“Boom!”
Zhang Ruochen was repelled again. His arm that held the Holy Sword was spilling a stream of blood.
The Dragon Scales on his arm had totally cracked, scarlet blood and flesh came out.
Master Shenhai snorted. “Even if you can boast the same power as cultivators of the Fish-dragon Realm, you’re still a mortal.” Master Shenhai had often talked with Nie Wenlong about Martial Arts. He knew that he was in the Fish-dragon Realm.
He also knew a warrior from Kunlun’s Field who could practice his soul into a Martial Soul.
Zhang Ruochen had a stronger Martial Soul, however, Master Shenhai hadn’t fought with Zhang Ruochen in that way. Instead, he had kept his Martial Soul inside his body and exercised supernatural power to protect it.
So it was far beyond the range of possibility for Zhang Ruochen to kill Master Shenhai using Martial Soul.

"value": "Princess of a Vanquished Nation\nNoon came shortly after, and Leylin took a shower with a happy mood. He donned a set of comfortable white robes and went to Crew’s villa.\n“Welcome, Leylin! My dearest friend!”\n“Your aura seemed to have increased again, it really makes people envious!”\nPreviously, he had already been astonished by Leylin’s age and potential. Towards a Magus who had such unlimited potential, establishing connections beforehand would often reap unexpected benefits.\nHowever, Leylin’s rate of improvement far exceeded his expectations.\n“This is just the result of a successful experiment!” Leylin gave a modest laugh.\nIn truth, this was the result after Leylin had used concealment spell to hide most of his spiritual force. If not, with Crew’s intelligence, he would definitely be able to guess at something.\nCrew did not buy Leylin’s humble words, but the aspect of spiritual force was always among the most guarded secrets of Magi, so any prying would result in hostility.\nHence, Crew could only amicably smile and hold Leylin’s hand.\n“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Come, let us go to the slave market!”\nThe slave market was in Zone 4 of the Nightless City and took up a very large area. Moreover, it was overt, even having a signboard.\n“Lord! Come to us, we have various types of slaves. There are even two snake girls from eastern mountain deserts, and their skills are top notch, you know!”\n“Look here quickly, this is the princess of the Dirk Dukedom! Her bloodline is extremely royal. The Dirk Dukedom is a dukedom comparable to kingdoms\nThere were many shops in this slave market, hence, to attract people over to their stores, these shops had all kinds of gimmicks.\nLeylin walked alongside Crew as he listened to the various calls of the shop owners.\nThe provocative rabbit girls and fox girls revealed a large amount of skin, only having on a few pieces of clothing the size of a palm to cover their private parts. Their fluffy white rabbit tails and fiery red fox tails were bunched together. It was an extremely sharp contrast to the shy expressions of those rabbit and fox girls.\n“How is it, sir? Do you want to take a look at this princess’ figure?”\nCrew was obviously interested in the slave that was referred to as a princess. He made a stop in front of that shop.\nLeylin was judging the girl behind the shop owner. She was tall, her pupils were golden, and she emanated an extremely noble aura. This was something that definitely could not be imitated, and had to have been developed from a young age.\nThis beautiful young lady was wearing a gown that one would usually see at a palace banquet, and she was even wearing a diamond-encrusted tiara, as if she was a princess who had ran out to play—that is, if you didn’t consider the blank and resigned expression on her face.\n“She’s quite a beauty!” A look of desire appeared on Crew’s face. “Now that I think about it, even though I’ve played with tons of women, I don’t think I’ve ever trained a princess before!”\n“This is definitely a genuine princess. Her father was the former Duke!”\n“Dirk Dukedom, I seem to have heard of its past. A coup d’etat occurred, right?” Crew stroked his chin and pondered. “It better not have any leftover troubles!”\nThe shop owner explained to Crew in detail.\nLeylin noticed that after that princess heard of the events, her head was bowed. Fear and hatred began to show on her face.\nAlthough this expression lasted for but a moment and was concealed well by her, how could it have been missed by the magicians present?\n“Not bad! Does she have a fierce personality? Challenging… I like her.” Crew was immediately aroused by her, and asked, “Tell me directly! How much?”\n“Two thousand magic crystals! That’s the lowest price I can give you!” The shop owner answered confidently.\n“Two thousand magic crystals!!!” Crew’s eyes bulged. “Just for a regular human who isn’t even a knight? Do you think I was kicked in the head by a donkey as a child?”\n“This is a unique situation! I only managed to get this princess at a great cost, and you can only find her in this shop in the Nightless City! Other princesses all have Magus families backing them, and goods like this are only available now. Whether you’ll be able to get your hands on someone like her in the future will depend on your luck…”\nThe shop owner expended a huge effort on convincing him.\n“Two thousand magic crystals is much too expensive! It’s enough to fund a few of my large-scale experiments!” Crew helplessly shook his head.\nHe turned to Leylin. “Sorry for the wait. Let’s go!”\nLeylin shrugged and ignored that princess of a ruined dukedom, walking out of the shop alongside Crew.\n“I was sure that you would insist on buying her, but now…” Leylin was somewhat shocked. He had seen firsthand Crew’s pervertedness and fetishes, so he could not believe that Crew would give up this easily.\n“You don’t know…” Crew blinked, his face revealing a smirk and a clever look.\n“This slave’s price tag is too expensive. As long as they’re not magicians who are desperately in need, she will never be considered by anyone.” The old geezer explained to Leylin.\nOfficial Magi always required resources. Unlike Crew, who had no more hope of advancing anymore, was extremely lecherous, and only wanted to live in retirement, they would never have any interest in such kinds of slaves.\n“I have several ties with the magicians in this kind of circle. As long as I notify them, nobody would snatch her from me!”\n“Then what reason have you prepared to convince your friends?” Leylin asked in curiosity.\n“Hehe… Of course, such a collaboration to push down prices would be done in turns!” The old geezer did not hesitate to reply.\n“If you have any interest in her, then after I’m done with her, I can lend her to you to toy around with for a few days!”\nThe old geezer seemed extremely generous at this moment.\n“No one can surpass your skills in such an area…” Leylin felt as if he was utterly defeated, and no longer knew what to say.\nThis shop was obviously a lot larger than the surrounding shops, and there were also two green, magically summoned creatures standing guard. Just by the presence and the construction costs of this shop, the value of the other shops were immediately lessened.\nIn addition, there was a thick curtain draped in front of the door, and one could not see anything inside unless they lifted the fabric. This heightened the curiosity of the Magi.\n“We’re here! This is the slave market that my friend opened!” Crew gave a series of passwords in a practised manner, and received permission to pass from the two magically summoned creatures.\n“This is only open to members, and members can only bring one regular customer. The requirements are stringent, but it’s only at this sort of place that you’ll be able to get lots of great goods!”\nCrew obviously had a mountain of experience, and he brought Leylin into an office.\n“Lucia, my friend! I have brought you business!”\nWhat exceeded Leylin’s expectations was that this slave trader Lucia was, in fact, a female magician.\nShe wore robes with a high collar, yet a small heart shape was cut out at her bosom area, revealing deep cleavage.\nLooking at Crew, who wanted to take some liberties with Lucia, but was also embarrassed, Leylin rubbed his nose in shame.\nHe had a feeling that he could have been ripped off by this lecherous old geezer.\n“Is this the customer that you have brought?”\nLucia gave a slow smile as she advanced, and Leylin’s nose was filled with a very concentrated smell of perfume. While strong, it did not repulse him, but was rather like a strong drink that made men brim with the desire to explore further.\n“What a handsome fellow!”\nLucia chuckled and gave Leylin a tight hug, her two large, satiny lumps of softness pressing directly against Leylin’s chest, and giving rise to a passion within.\n“Young Magus, what kind of slave are you looking for? Fox girls, rabbit girls, or snake girls? Sister has everything here, and can even give you a discount!”\nThe beautiful slave owner with a provocative figure blew against Leylin’s ear as she whispered in a low voice.\n“This… I apologise!”\nLeylin gently pushed Lucia away, causing Crew to roll his eyes at him and Lucia to coquettishly laugh. “Oh my!

173.第173章
时间很快到了下午，雷林心情愉快地洗了个澡，换了身宽松的白袍，来到了克里奥的别墅。
“欢迎你，雷林！ 我亲爱的朋友！”
克里奥上前和雷林拥抱了下，脸上显得有些惊疑不定。
“你身上的气息似乎又变强了点，真是令人羡慕！” 在之前，他就是惊异于雷林的年纪和潜力，才有意结交。
但雷林的进步程度，似乎还是有些超出他的预料。
“只是一个实验成功了而已！” 雷林谦虚地笑道。
其实，这还是他用拟形术遮掩了大部分精神力的结果，否则的话，以克里奥的精明，绝对会猜到一些东西。
对于雷林的谦虚话语，克里奥明显不怎么相信，但对于巫师们而言，关于精神力方面的问题是他们绝对的隐私，任何的窥探都会导致敌意。
因此，克里奥只是笑了笑，就上前亲切地挽住雷林的手臂。
“不说这个了，来，跟我去奴隶市场！”
奴隶市场位于不夜城四层，占地面积非常广大，并且，堂而皇之地打出了招牌。
来我们这里吧！ 有各种各样的奴隶，更有两名刚从东岭沙漠抓来的沙漠****族，绝对顶尖！”
“快看看，这可是迪克公国的大公之女！ 身份血统高贵，迪克公国可是堪比帝国的大型公国，大公之女也相当于公主了哦！”
在巨大的奴隶市场里面，还有许多独立的店铺，而这些店铺为了招人，真是什么花招都用出来了。
雷林一边跟着克里奥，一边看着各个店主在门前大声招揽着客户。
大量穿着铠甲的战士，身上还有着独特的烙印符文，看着非常恐怖，肌肉蓬发，身上到处充满着充沛的力量，虽然眼睛里面没有什么精神，但绝对是大骑士的好料子。 “怎么样？
客人？ 要看看这个公主的相貌么？”
克里奥明显对那个号称公主的奴隶有兴趣，在这家店铺的面前稍微停留了一下。
雷林也打量着店主后面的女孩，身材修长，眸子金色，全身上下带着一股极为高贵的气质，这种类似气场的感觉，不从小培养，是绝对模仿不了这么真实的。
这个漂亮的少女身上穿着宫廷宴会的那种盛装，甚至头上还戴了一顶小小的镶着钻石的王冠，好像真的只是出来游玩一下的公主殿下——如果排除她脸上那副木然和认命的表情的话。 “挺漂亮的！”
克里奥露出一副色色的表情：“回想起来，虽然我见过的女人很多，但好像还没试过一位公主呢！”
“这绝对是一位货真价实的公主，她的父亲就是前任迪克大公！”
“迪克公国，我好像最近听说过它的事情，是发生了政变么？” 克里奥摸着下巴，一副思考的表情，“可不要有什么遗留的麻烦才好！”
店主很详细地为克里奥解释。
雷林注意到，那个大公之女在听说到这件事的时候，头颅微微低下，眼睛里面流露出惊恐而又仇恨的神色。
虽然这一丝表情一闪即逝，被她掩藏得很好，但又怎么瞒得过在场的巫师呢？
性子很烈么？ 有挑战性，我喜欢……”克里奥一瞬间心动了，问道：“直接说吧！
“两千块魔石！ 这是最低价了！” 店主很有信心地道。
！” 克里奥的眼睛一突，“就为了这么一个凡人，连骑士都不是的家伙？
你当我脑袋被驴踢了么？” “话可不能这么说！
店主极力蛊惑着。
“两千块魔石！ 太贵了，这足够支持我几次大型实验了！” 克里奥无奈地摇了摇头。
转身对雷林道：“抱歉，让你久等了，我们走吧！”
雷林耸了耸肩膀，不再去看那个亡国公主一眼，和克里奥并肩走出了这家商店。
“我还以为您会执意买下呢，没想到……”雷林有些惊讶，对于克里奥的纨绔和奢侈，他可是深有体会的，可不信对方会这么轻易就放弃了。
“你不知道……”克里奥眨眨眼睛，脸上露出一丝坏笑和精明的神色。
“这个奴隶的价格太贵，只要不是有迫切需求的巫师，都绝对不会去考虑她的。” 老头开始为雷林分析起来。
正式巫师们对资源都有迫切的需求，不是克里奥这种已经晋升无望，一心退休养老，又极为好色的家伙，是不会对这种奴隶有什么兴趣的。
“而我和不夜城里面好这口的巫师们都有几分交情，只要通知他们一声，就不会出来和我抢！”
“那您准备用什么理由说服您的同好们呢？” 雷林有些好奇地问。
“嘿嘿……当然是合作出资，再逼店主降价销售，大家轮流持有！” 老头不暇思索地回答道。
“你要是有兴趣的话，等过了一段时间之后，你也可以来我别墅里面参观一下！”
老头这时一向非常客气大方。
“您在这方面的计算真是无人可及……”雷林感觉自己彻底被打败，已经不知道该说什么好了。
随后，跟着克里奥的雷林，终于来到了一处有些奇怪的店铺前面。 这家商店的面积明显比周围店铺大了一圈，门口还有两座青色的巫术生物把守，光是这份气度和造价，就迅速将周围几家店铺比了下去。
并且，店铺门前挂着一面厚厚的帷幔，不掀开进去，根本看不到里面的任何东西，更是勾起了巫师们的好奇心。
这就是我朋友所开的奴隶市场！” 克里奥很是熟门熟路地报出一串口令，获得了通过两头巫术生物的权力。
“这里只对会员开放，并且会员也只可以携带一名普通客户，要求非常严格，但就是在这种地方，通常会有许多好货色！”
克里奥的经验明显非常丰富，带着雷林熟门熟路地来到一间办公室里面。
“鲁西亚，我的朋友！ 我给你带生意来了！”
出乎雷林预料的是，这个名叫鲁西亚的奴隶主，居然是一名非常成熟的女性巫师，起码有着三十岁的外表。
穿着高领礼服，但前半身却被割开一个心形的口子，脸上将慵懒和热情结合在了一起，有着一种独特的气质。
看着克里奥一副想在对方身上多占点便宜，又有些不太好意思的表情，雷林有些羞愧地捂住了脸。
他有感觉，或许他是被这个死老头给坑了。
“这位就是你介绍过来的客人么？”
鲁西亚款款笑着上前，雷林鼻子里面闻到了一股极为浓郁的香水味道，这种味道虽然浓重，但并不令人排斥，反而好像烈酒一样，让别人充满想一探究竟的渴望。
“真是个帅小伙！”
鲁西亚娇笑着，而雷林则是一脸无奈地摇头，对着鲁西亚行礼，动作流畅而优雅，令鲁西亚眼前一亮，这名巫师虽然年青，却仿佛让她见到了最为古老的家族继承人一样。 “年青的巫师，想要什么奴隶呢？
战士、骑士、还是侍女？ 姐姐这里全都有，还可以给你折扣哦！”
身材火辣的美女奴隶主吐气如兰，低微的声音传到雷林耳朵边上。
“这……抱歉！”
雷林动作温柔地退开了鲁西亚，又惹来了克莱奥的白眼和鲁西亚的娇笑：“呦！ 看来我们的客人害羞了哦！”
“实在是您的热情，让我有些喘不过气来！” 雷林弯腰，握着鲁西亚修长白皙的手背行了一个礼仪，又收获了克里奥充满嫉妒的眼神。
他倒并不是坐怀不乱，只是这个美女奴隶主，也是一位一级巫师！ 并且根据芯片的探测，元素化起码在50%以上！
雷林虽然有些心动，但可不想在**的时候被人砍上一刀！ 毕竟，能当奴隶主的女人，怎么看都不是简单的货色！
“其实我这次来，是想购买一些特殊的奴隶！” 雷林说出了自己的要求。
一谈到正事，鲁西亚的脸色也严肃起来。

Princess of a Vanquished Nation
Noon came shortly after, and Leylin took a shower with a happy mood. He donned a set of comfortable white robes and went to Crew’s villa.
“Welcome, Leylin! My dearest friend!”
“Your aura seemed to have increased again, it really makes people envious!”
Previously, he had already been astonished by Leylin’s age and potential. Towards a Magus who had such unlimited potential, establishing connections beforehand would often reap unexpected benefits.
However, Leylin’s rate of improvement far exceeded his expectations.
“This is just the result of a successful experiment!” Leylin gave a modest laugh.
In truth, this was the result after Leylin had used concealment spell to hide most of his spiritual force. If not, with Crew’s intelligence, he would definitely be able to guess at something.
Crew did not buy Leylin’s humble words, but the aspect of spiritual force was always among the most guarded secrets of Magi, so any prying would result in hostility.
Hence, Crew could only amicably smile and hold Leylin’s hand.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Come, let us go to the slave market!”
The slave market was in Zone 4 of the Nightless City and took up a very large area. Moreover, it was overt, even having a signboard.
“Lord! Come to us, we have various types of slaves. There are even two snake girls from eastern mountain deserts, and their skills are top notch, you know!”
“Look here quickly, this is the princess of the Dirk Dukedom! Her bloodline is extremely royal. The Dirk Dukedom is a dukedom comparable to kingdoms
There were many shops in this slave market, hence, to attract people over to their stores, these shops had all kinds of gimmicks.
Leylin walked alongside Crew as he listened to the various calls of the shop owners.
The provocative rabbit girls and fox girls revealed a large amount of skin, only having on a few pieces of clothing the size of a palm to cover their private parts. Their fluffy white rabbit tails and fiery red fox tails were bunched together. It was an extremely sharp contrast to the shy expressions of those rabbit and fox girls.
“How is it, sir? Do you want to take a look at this princess’ figure?”
Crew was obviously interested in the slave that was referred to as a princess. He made a stop in front of that shop.
Leylin was judging the girl behind the shop owner. She was tall, her pupils were golden, and she emanated an extremely noble aura. This was something that definitely could not be imitated, and had to have been developed from a young age.
This beautiful young lady was wearing a gown that one would usually see at a palace banquet, and she was even wearing a diamond-encrusted tiara, as if she was a princess who had ran out to play—that is, if you didn’t consider the blank and resigned expression on her face.
“She’s quite a beauty!” A look of desire appeared on Crew’s face. “Now that I think about it, even though I’ve played with tons of women, I don’t think I’ve ever trained a princess before!”
“This is definitely a genuine princess. Her father was the former Duke!”
“Dirk Dukedom, I seem to have heard of its past. A coup d’etat occurred, right?” Crew stroked his chin and pondered. “It better not have any leftover troubles!”
The shop owner explained to Crew in detail.
Leylin noticed that after that princess heard of the events, her head was bowed. Fear and hatred began to show on her face.
Although this expression lasted for but a moment and was concealed well by her, how could it have been missed by the magicians present?
“Not bad! Does she have a fierce personality? Challenging… I like her.” Crew was immediately aroused by her, and asked, “Tell me directly! How much?”
“Two thousand magic crystals! That’s the lowest price I can give you!” The shop owner answered confidently.
“Two thousand magic crystals!!!” Crew’s eyes bulged. “Just for a regular human who isn’t even a knight? Do you think I was kicked in the head by a donkey as a child?”
“This is a unique situation! I only managed to get this princess at a great cost, and you can only find her in this shop in the Nightless City! Other princesses all have Magus families backing them, and goods like this are only available now. Whether you’ll be able to get your hands on someone like her in the future will depend on your luck…”
The shop owner expended a huge effort on convincing him.
“Two thousand magic crystals is much too expensive! It’s enough to fund a few of my large-scale experiments!” Crew helplessly shook his head.
He turned to Leylin. “Sorry for the wait. Let’s go!”
Leylin shrugged and ignored that princess of a ruined dukedom, walking out of the shop alongside Crew.
“I was sure that you would insist on buying her, but now…” Leylin was somewhat shocked. He had seen firsthand Crew’s pervertedness and fetishes, so he could not believe that Crew would give up this easily.
“You don’t know…” Crew blinked, his face revealing a smirk and a clever look.
“This slave’s price tag is too expensive. As long as they’re not magicians who are desperately in need, she will never be considered by anyone.” The old geezer explained to Leylin.
Official Magi always required resources. Unlike Crew, who had no more hope of advancing anymore, was extremely lecherous, and only wanted to live in retirement, they would never have any interest in such kinds of slaves.
“I have several ties with the magicians in this kind of circle. As long as I notify them, nobody would snatch her from me!”
“Then what reason have you prepared to convince your friends?” Leylin asked in curiosity.
“Hehe… Of course, such a collaboration to push down prices would be done in turns!” The old geezer did not hesitate to reply.
“If you have any interest in her, then after I’m done with her, I can lend her to you to toy around with for a few days!”
The old geezer seemed extremely generous at this moment.
“No one can surpass your skills in such an area…” Leylin felt as if he was utterly defeated, and no longer knew what to say.
This shop was obviously a lot larger than the surrounding shops, and there were also two green, magically summoned creatures standing guard. Just by the presence and the construction costs of this shop, the value of the other shops were immediately lessened.
In addition, there was a thick curtain draped in front of the door, and one could not see anything inside unless they lifted the fabric. This heightened the curiosity of the Magi.
“We’re here! This is the slave market that my friend opened!” Crew gave a series of passwords in a practised manner, and received permission to pass from the two magically summoned creatures.
“This is only open to members, and members can only bring one regular customer. The requirements are stringent, but it’s only at this sort of place that you’ll be able to get lots of great goods!”
Crew obviously had a mountain of experience, and he brought Leylin into an office.
“Lucia, my friend! I have brought you business!”
What exceeded Leylin’s expectations was that this slave trader Lucia was, in fact, a female magician.
She wore robes with a high collar, yet a small heart shape was cut out at her bosom area, revealing deep cleavage.
Looking at Crew, who wanted to take some liberties with Lucia, but was also embarrassed, Leylin rubbed his nose in shame.
He had a feeling that he could have been ripped off by this lecherous old geezer.
“Is this the customer that you have brought?”
Lucia gave a slow smile as she advanced, and Leylin’s nose was filled with a very concentrated smell of perfume. While strong, it did not repulse him, but was rather like a strong drink that made men brim with the desire to explore further.
“What a handsome fellow!”
Lucia chuckled and gave Leylin a tight hug, her two large, satiny lumps of softness pressing directly against Leylin’s chest, and giving rise to a passion within.
“Young Magus, what kind of slave are you looking for? Fox girls, rabbit girls, or snake girls? Sister has everything here, and can even give you a discount!”
The beautiful slave owner with a provocative figure blew against Leylin’s ear as she whispered in a low voice.
“This… I apologise!”
Leylin gently pushed Lucia away, causing Crew to roll his eyes at him and Lucia to coquettishly laugh. “Oh my! Looks like our customer got embarrassed!”
“It is really your hospitality that makes it hard to breathe!” Leylin bowed and kissed Lucia on the back of her slender and pale palm, before receiving a jealous look from Crew.
It was not that he could not contain his urges, but that this beautiful slave trader was also a rank 1 Magus! Moreover, according the A.I. Chip’s detection, her elemental essence conversion was at least 50%!
Although Leylin was rather aroused, he did not want to have a knife stabbed in his back while bedding this woman. Moreover, how could a female slave trader be a simple character!
“Actually, my reason for coming here is to purchase a few special slaves!” Leylin made his request.
Once the official matter was raised, Lucia put on a serious face.

"value": "Chapter 603: Xia Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations\nOut of the four people who had appeared, there were three ladies, as well as one man who had handsome features and a tall stature. However, his gaze seemed to be filled with feelings of cold-bloodedness, shrewdness, and brutality. He looked at Fang Qian and Wang Xiaoyan as if he were looking at prey that he would swallow whole at any moment.\nThe man seemed to give off a vibe… an inhuman aura and disposition which exuded from all over his body.\nAs for the three beautiful ladies standing behind the man,they could be said to be of unrivalled beauty. They wore white clothes, which were soft and sheer, and carried themselves with great poise. Either one of them had a beauty which surpassed that of Fang Qian and Wang Xiaoyan. It was likely that only the Northern Ice Region's top beauty, Audrey, would be able to surpass their beauty.\nAt their sudden appearances, Tyrant's heart leaped fiercely and he said, \"Xia?\"\nThe four people who had just appeared were the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon's leader—the Undying Xia—and the three deputy leaders under him—the three beauties who were also his women.\nHearing Tyrant's guess, both Fang Qian's and Wang Xiaoyan's countenances changed drastically.\nDifferent people had different reputations. As one of the ten great Divine level experts in the Empire, Xia had a great reputation and was known to be extremely powerful. This made Tyrant and the two ladies unable to summon any will to resist. It was because the gap between Divine level experts from those below were far too wide.\nThe corners of Xia's lips curled up into a cunning wolf-like smile. Xia passed by Tyrant, gently patted him on the shoulder, and then reached out his hand to grab the Hell's White Bone Armor, starting to assess it.\n\"It's really a good armor, but the damage done to it is also very serious. It'll be very hard to fix. However, if it's broken down and reforged, it'll still be a good item,\" Xia said, gently stroking the Hell's White Bone Armor in his hand. Then he continued calmly, \"This armor should have been a Divine Remains Equipment to begin with, right? Where did you guys get it from? Could this be that legendary Panwu Heavenly Raiment?\"\nWang Xiaoyan's countenance changed and she said, \"How do you know about the Panwu Heavenly Raiment?\"\n\"The Eight Directional Crimson Dragon's information network far surpasses your imagination,\" Xia said with a smile. He lifted Wang Xiaoyan's chin, took a look, and remarked, \"You don't look bad. You can return with me to the Euphoria Palace 1 later.\"\nUpon hearing Xia's words, Wang Xiaoyan's face turned pale.\nAn extravagant orgy was held at the Euphoria Palace, where Xia gathered all sorts of beauties, great wine, and wealth from all over the world. Any woman who entered would be subject to Xia's lust and desires, and it was said to be a great humiliation.\nThinking of what could happen to her, Wang Xiaoyan felt nothing but despair.\n'But he is Xia, the Undying Xia... Even if Fang Xingjian managed to kill one of his clones, when he's up against Xia himself, he'll probably...' Wang Xiaoyan's thoughts kept spinning rapidly in her mind. 'I thought that Xia would have reservations for the power of the Empire's royal family. I didn't expect that he would really commit evil acts so openly, coming here in broad daylight.'\nCountless thoughts and plans kept flashing in her mind. However, the more she thought about it, the more she was struck by a sense of helplessness.\nAt this moment, there was only one final thought that was left in her mind, 'So, this is the power of a Divine level expert... Faced with such power, all schemes and plots are useless. We can only be completely crushed by Xia's power.'\nXia passed by Fang Qian and picked up the Divine level spinal bone that was on the workstation. He casually broke through the layers of protection and touched the Divine level spinal bone, saying, \"This is also something good. Although it seems to be a lot worse as a material in comparison to that armor, it can also be used.\"\nFang Qian, Wang Xiaoyan, and Tyrant looked at Xia, still not daring to resist him at all. It was because all of them knew that if they were to resist with their powers, they would be easily suppressed.\nIn particular, Tyrant just kept on thinking, 'Xingjian seems to have expected for this to happen?'\nThe words Fang Xingjian had said when he told Tyrant to head over here flashed in Tyrant's mind.\n\"Tyrant, you can head to where Fang Qian is first. I'll give the Fourth Prince a helping hand. If you run into any problems, don't panic. I'll be there in a bit.\"\nRecalling Fang Xingjian's words, Tyrant gave it some thought and said, 'Xingjian seems to have an extremely accurate sensing ability. The way he put it... means that there isn't any danger for now? Or that before there's any danger, he will be able to rush over? But why? Could it be that the Fourth Prince's condition has gotten that critical?'\nHowever, Xia did not care about all these things. With a swing of his hand, the air currents in the room started to move. It was as if a typhoon had been instantly created, and he was at the very center of it.\nHe took the Hell's White Bone Armor and the Divine level spinal bone, then both items disappeared. Xia clearly also had some kind of Divine Remains Equipment with him that had a dimensional storage.\nNext, countless heavenly and earthly treasures in the entire room flew up. They were all grabbed and stored into his dimensional storage.\nIn the blink of an eye, the workshop and research laboratory were cleaned up entirely, and the smiled on Xia's face grew increasingly brighter. \"Not bad, not bad. To think that Fang Xingjian is so rich? That batch of materials from earlier is worth over ten million. Where did he get a hold of so much money? To think that I didn't manage to find out about this even with my information network?\"\nAs he spoke, Xia waved one of his hands. Then Fang Qian, Wang Xiaoyan, and Tyrant felt an undefiable and irresistable power gushing toward them. The violent power pushed their bodies, sending them flying out as if they were mounting the clouds and riding the mist. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at a training ground together with Xia.\nSeveral hundreds of students, staff, and teachers of the Regional Academy had been grabbed and brought to the training ground. There were occasional flashes of the black shadow that was from Xia's clone bringing people over here.\nTyrant looked at an afterimage in the sky and frowned. Even the Governor and Head of Department had been brought here by Xia's clone.\nGovernor Devitt was bathed in blood, and his consciousness was extremely weak. He had clearly put up a fight before he was caught, but he was still no match for Xia's clone.\nHead of Department James was not in a good state either. His hair was dishevelled, and his face was covered in dirt. He looked like just like a refugee.\nWhen Head of Department James and Governor Devitt were both tossed onto the training ground like garbage, the several hundreds of people already on the training ground gasped and crowded around the two people.\nThen Tyrant and the two ladies were also tossed into the group. Xia was not at all worried that they might escape.\nHowever, any ladies who looked slightly prettier would be tossed to a corner of the training ground. The rest of the people, including Tyrant and Governor Devitt, were tossed to another side. There were distinct differences between the two groups, with one on the left and the other on the right.\nIt was clear that Xia was planning on bringing the ladies with him, and he did not plan on bringing the others along.\nGovernor Devitt stood up while his body trembled. He looked at Xia, who was in midair, and shouted furiously, \"Xia! Are you crazy?! Openly assaulting the government and doing this in the Regional Academy... Are you thinking of revolting?\"\nHearing Devitt's words, Xia laughed out loud and said, \"Revolt?

第六百一十三章
眼前出现的一男三女的四人，男的眉目英挺，身材高大，但是双目之中全是冷血，狡诈和残忍，看着方倩、王晓艳就像看着猎物一样，随时随地都会将人一口吞下。
男子给人的感觉，浑身上下都透露出一种非人的气息，非人的气质。
而在男子的后面，站着三名美貌各异，堪称是绝色美人的三名女子，身穿白衫轻纱，媚世烟行，体态婀娜，任何一名的美貌都还要超过方倩和王晓艳，恐怕也就北冰州的第一美人奥黛丽可以稳压一筹。
看到眼前四人的突然出现，泰兰特的心中狠狠震动了一下，说道：“夏？”
眼前出现的四人，正是八方赤龙的团长，不死的夏，还有他手下的的另外三名副团长，同时也是他女人的三名美人。
听到泰兰特的猜测，方倩和王晓艳都是面色狂变。
人的名，树的影，夏作为帝国十大神级强者，威名赫赫，实力之强大，让他们完全提不起一点点反抗之心，只因为神级强者和神级之下，差距实在太多了。
夏的嘴角翘起，露出了狼一样的笑容，人已经走过了泰兰特的身旁，轻轻拍了拍泰兰特的肩膀，伸手一抓，已经将地狱白骨甲抓在了手中打量起来。
“果然是好铠甲，不过被损坏地也很严重，修复起来难度很大啊，但是分解了再造，也仍旧是好东西。” 摩挲着手上的地狱白骨甲，夏淡淡说道：“这铠甲本来应该是神骸武装吧？
王晓艳面色一变，说道：“你怎么知道盘武天衣？”
“八方赤龙的情报网络，远超你们的想象。” 夏笑了起来，捏着王晓艳的下巴看了看说道：“长得倒是不错，一会儿和我直接会极乐天宫吧。”
听到夏的这句话，王晓艳面色变得惨白。
极乐天宫，乃是夏收集天下各种美女，美酒，财富的酒池肉林，任何女人进去，都会遭到夏的随意淫乐，堪称是屈辱无比。
一想到自己可能会有的遭遇，王晓艳就全是绝望。
‘但对方是夏啊，不死的夏啊，就算方星剑斩杀了他的一个分身，但是正面对抗本体，恐怕也……’王晓艳的思维迅速转动：‘本来以为夏会估计帝国皇室的力量，想不到他真的就这么明火执仗，正大光明的杀了上来。
无数的想法，计策在王晓艳的脑海之中闪过，但越是想，越是有一种无力感侵袭她的身体。
这一刻，她的脑海中只剩下最后一个想法：‘这就是神级强者的力量啊，面对这种力量，根本什么计谋都没有用处，只能被对方的力量彻底碾压。
夏却是路过方倩的身体，来到方倩的身后，将工作台上的神级脊骨拿了出来，随手扯断了层层叠叠的防护，摸了摸神级脊骨说道：“这个也是好东西，虽然作为材料，似乎比那一件铠甲差了许多，不过也能用用了。”
方倩、王晓艳和泰兰特看着眼前的夏，仍然不敢有丝毫反抗，因为他们都知道，以他们的力量去反抗，随手就会被对方镇压。
特别是泰兰特，心中不断想到：‘星剑，似乎已经预料到了这件事情？
他脑海中回忆起了方星剑叫他过来时说的话。
“泰兰特，你先去方倩他们那边吧，我帮四皇子一把，遇到问题，不用惊慌，我一会儿就过来。”
想起方星剑的这番话，泰兰特思索道：‘星剑似乎有一种非常灵验的感应能力，他这么说，也就是说暂时没有危险？ 或者说有危险之前，他都会赶过来？
另一边的夏却是不管这些，只见他随手一招，房间之内气流卷动，好像是瞬间掀起了一场台风，而他就是台风眼一样。
地狱白骨甲和神级脊骨被他直接收入手中，然后消失不见，显然他的身上也有某种神骸武装，可以收纳空间。
接下来整个房间内无数的天材地宝纷纷飞了起来，被他抓摄到了自己的储物空间之中。
转眼间整个工作室、研究所都被一扫而空，夏的脸上笑容越来越盛：“不错不错，方星剑这小子竟然这么有钱？ 刚刚那批材料，起码有上千万的价值，他哪里来这么多钱的？
说话间的功夫，夏单手一招，方倩、王晓艳、泰兰特只觉得一股不可违逆，无法反抗的力量席卷而来，狂暴的力量推动着他们的肉身，他们三人就好像是腾云驾雾一样飞了出去，转眼间已经跟随夏来到了一座练武场上。
只见练武场上，数百名州立学院的学生、工作人员、老师都已经被抓了过来，天空中还时不时有一道黑影闪过，竟然是夏的分身在抓人过来。
泰兰特看向天空中的一道残影，眉头一皱，竟然是学修和系长都被夏的分身抓了过来。
只见学修德维特浑身浴血，意识萎靡到了极点，显然是被抓前做了一番抗争，却仍就不是夏的分身的对手。
另一边的系长詹姆士同样不怎么好，披头散发，一脸泥土，好像是哪里来的难民一样。
当系长詹姆士和学修德维特都被夏好像抛垃圾一样扔在练武场上的时候，呆在练武场上的数百人都齐齐惊呼了起来，朝着两人围了过去。
接着是泰兰特三人也被丢入了人群，似乎根本不担心他们逃跑。
不过整个练武场上，长得稍有姿色的美女都被丢在一角，剩下的人则是和泰兰特、学修德维特丢在一旁，一左一右，泾渭分明。
显然女的都是夏要带走的，而剩下的那些他并不打算带走。
学修德维特颤抖着身体站了起来，看着天空中的夏，怒道：“夏，你疯了么？ 公然袭击政府，在州立学院搞这些，你要造反不成？”
克里克家现在可管不了我。” 说着，他面色一冷，肆意的杀气好像刀锋一样在众人的脸庞上划过。
“你们要怪就怪方星剑吧。”
“竟然敢击杀我的分身和女人，那他就知道会有这么一天，会受到我的报复，全世界最恐怖的报复。”
“我会让全世界所有的人都再次明白，得罪谁，都不能得罪我。”
一旁的美女副团长问道：“大人，不去捉拿方星剑么？ 这么大的动静，他说不定会逃走。”
夏的脸上露出一丝残忍和戏虐的笑容：“这才叫折磨，他现在一定在逃还是不逃之间不断针扎，嘿嘿额，我们就来测试一下方星剑到底会不会重情重义吧，他要是逃走，那该杀的就杀，该带走的就带走，我们再继续去追杀他。
不追杀他个七天七夜，让他在恐惧之中瑟瑟发抖，怎么能消我的心头之恨。 先追杀个几天几夜，然后我再慢慢炮制他。”

Chapter 603: Xia Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Out of the four people who had appeared, there were three ladies, as well as one man who had handsome features and a tall stature. However, his gaze seemed to be filled with feelings of cold-bloodedness, shrewdness, and brutality. He looked at Fang Qian and Wang Xiaoyan as if he were looking at prey that he would swallow whole at any moment.
The man seemed to give off a vibe… an inhuman aura and disposition which exuded from all over his body.
As for the three beautiful ladies standing behind the man,they could be said to be of unrivalled beauty. They wore white clothes, which were soft and sheer, and carried themselves with great poise. Either one of them had a beauty which surpassed that of Fang Qian and Wang Xiaoyan. It was likely that only the Northern Ice Region's top beauty, Audrey, would be able to surpass their beauty.
At their sudden appearances, Tyrant's heart leaped fiercely and he said, "Xia?"
The four people who had just appeared were the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon's leader—the Undying Xia—and the three deputy leaders under him—the three beauties who were also his women.
Hearing Tyrant's guess, both Fang Qian's and Wang Xiaoyan's countenances changed drastically.
Different people had different reputations. As one of the ten great Divine level experts in the Empire, Xia had a great reputation and was known to be extremely powerful. This made Tyrant and the two ladies unable to summon any will to resist. It was because the gap between Divine level experts from those below were far too wide.
The corners of Xia's lips curled up into a cunning wolf-like smile. Xia passed by Tyrant, gently patted him on the shoulder, and then reached out his hand to grab the Hell's White Bone Armor, starting to assess it.
"It's really a good armor, but the damage done to it is also very serious. It'll be very hard to fix. However, if it's broken down and reforged, it'll still be a good item," Xia said, gently stroking the Hell's White Bone Armor in his hand. Then he continued calmly, "This armor should have been a Divine Remains Equipment to begin with, right? Where did you guys get it from? Could this be that legendary Panwu Heavenly Raiment?"
Wang Xiaoyan's countenance changed and she said, "How do you know about the Panwu Heavenly Raiment?"
"The Eight Directional Crimson Dragon's information network far surpasses your imagination," Xia said with a smile. He lifted Wang Xiaoyan's chin, took a look, and remarked, "You don't look bad. You can return with me to the Euphoria Palace 1 later."
Upon hearing Xia's words, Wang Xiaoyan's face turned pale.
An extravagant orgy was held at the Euphoria Palace, where Xia gathered all sorts of beauties, great wine, and wealth from all over the world. Any woman who entered would be subject to Xia's lust and desires, and it was said to be a great humiliation.
Thinking of what could happen to her, Wang Xiaoyan felt nothing but despair.
'But he is Xia, the Undying Xia... Even if Fang Xingjian managed to kill one of his clones, when he's up against Xia himself, he'll probably...' Wang Xiaoyan's thoughts kept spinning rapidly in her mind. 'I thought that Xia would have reservations for the power of the Empire's royal family. I didn't expect that he would really commit evil acts so openly, coming here in broad daylight.'
Countless thoughts and plans kept flashing in her mind. However, the more she thought about it, the more she was struck by a sense of helplessness.
At this moment, there was only one final thought that was left in her mind, 'So, this is the power of a Divine level expert... Faced with such power, all schemes and plots are useless. We can only be completely crushed by Xia's power.'
Xia passed by Fang Qian and picked up the Divine level spinal bone that was on the workstation. He casually broke through the layers of protection and touched the Divine level spinal bone, saying, "This is also something good. Although it seems to be a lot worse as a material in comparison to that armor, it can also be used."
Fang Qian, Wang Xiaoyan, and Tyrant looked at Xia, still not daring to resist him at all. It was because all of them knew that if they were to resist with their powers, they would be easily suppressed.
In particular, Tyrant just kept on thinking, 'Xingjian seems to have expected for this to happen?'
The words Fang Xingjian had said when he told Tyrant to head over here flashed in Tyrant's mind.
"Tyrant, you can head to where Fang Qian is first. I'll give the Fourth Prince a helping hand. If you run into any problems, don't panic. I'll be there in a bit."
Recalling Fang Xingjian's words, Tyrant gave it some thought and said, 'Xingjian seems to have an extremely accurate sensing ability. The way he put it... means that there isn't any danger for now? Or that before there's any danger, he will be able to rush over? But why? Could it be that the Fourth Prince's condition has gotten that critical?'
However, Xia did not care about all these things. With a swing of his hand, the air currents in the room started to move. It was as if a typhoon had been instantly created, and he was at the very center of it.
He took the Hell's White Bone Armor and the Divine level spinal bone, then both items disappeared. Xia clearly also had some kind of Divine Remains Equipment with him that had a dimensional storage.
Next, countless heavenly and earthly treasures in the entire room flew up. They were all grabbed and stored into his dimensional storage.
In the blink of an eye, the workshop and research laboratory were cleaned up entirely, and the smiled on Xia's face grew increasingly brighter. "Not bad, not bad. To think that Fang Xingjian is so rich? That batch of materials from earlier is worth over ten million. Where did he get a hold of so much money? To think that I didn't manage to find out about this even with my information network?"
As he spoke, Xia waved one of his hands. Then Fang Qian, Wang Xiaoyan, and Tyrant felt an undefiable and irresistable power gushing toward them. The violent power pushed their bodies, sending them flying out as if they were mounting the clouds and riding the mist. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at a training ground together with Xia.
Several hundreds of students, staff, and teachers of the Regional Academy had been grabbed and brought to the training ground. There were occasional flashes of the black shadow that was from Xia's clone bringing people over here.
Tyrant looked at an afterimage in the sky and frowned. Even the Governor and Head of Department had been brought here by Xia's clone.
Governor Devitt was bathed in blood, and his consciousness was extremely weak. He had clearly put up a fight before he was caught, but he was still no match for Xia's clone.
Head of Department James was not in a good state either. His hair was dishevelled, and his face was covered in dirt. He looked like just like a refugee.
When Head of Department James and Governor Devitt were both tossed onto the training ground like garbage, the several hundreds of people already on the training ground gasped and crowded around the two people.
Then Tyrant and the two ladies were also tossed into the group. Xia was not at all worried that they might escape.
However, any ladies who looked slightly prettier would be tossed to a corner of the training ground. The rest of the people, including Tyrant and Governor Devitt, were tossed to another side. There were distinct differences between the two groups, with one on the left and the other on the right.
It was clear that Xia was planning on bringing the ladies with him, and he did not plan on bringing the others along.
Governor Devitt stood up while his body trembled. He looked at Xia, who was in midair, and shouted furiously, "Xia! Are you crazy?! Openly assaulting the government and doing this in the Regional Academy... Are you thinking of revolting?"
Hearing Devitt's words, Xia laughed out loud and said, "Revolt? Right now, the Krieg Clan is incapable of dealing with me." Then his expression turned cold, and wanton killing auras seemed to brush past everyone's face like sharp blades.
"If you guys want to blame someone, then blame Fang Xingjian.
"To think that he dared to kill my clone and my woman. He should know that this day would come and that I would take revenge, the world's most terrifying revenge.
"I'll let everyone in the world understand once again that no matter who they offend, they can't offend me."
One of the beautiful ladies, who was a deputy leader, asked, "Lord, aren't we going to apprehend Fang Xingjian? With such a commotion, he may try to escape."
A smile that had a hint of brutality and tyranny appeared on Xia's face. "This is what torture means. Right now, he must be struggling between the decision of whether he should escape or not. Hehe, let's have a test to see if Fang Xingjian is someone who values his bonds. If he escapes, then we'll kill those who should be killed and bring away those that we should. After that, we'll continue to chase and hunt him down.
"If I don't chase him for seven days and seven nights, making him shudder in fear, how will I be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart? I'll first chase him down for several days and several nights before I slowly deal with him."

"value": "Chapter 789 - Damn Woman\nThough City Lord Man seemed like a gruff and brutish person, he was no fool. He knew that given Yu Mo’s personality, there was no way he would be praising a human cultivator unless there was no other alternative.\nRealizing this, City Lord Man immediately understood that there was probably something special about this human boy. Killing a Third Order Transcendent with only a First Order cultivation… No one from the Demon Race could accomplish this kind of feat. On top of that, the one who was killed was Di Xiao, a man who always killed people in higher realms than his own; this only further emphasized how absurd this human’s strength must be.\n“Gu Man, this time I’ll have to bother you to take action while I stand guard!” Yu Mo glanced over at Feng Biao who was standing not far away, indicating that he obviously didn’t trust Feng Biao and was concerned the latter would try something once he saw an opening.\n“No problem, I like destroying the pride and self-confidence of young brats, especially ones like this human… Hah, this will be fun!” Gu Man nodded casually, lifting his head arrogantly as he waved to his hand, “All of you go test his skill. Don’t get careless, I don’t want to have to collect your corpses if you screw up!”\nThe masters behind City Lord Man all snickered as they turned malicious stares towards Yang Kai.\nYu Mo frowned and faintly felt that this course of action was somewhat improper, but he soon felt that so many people dealing with Yang Kai shouldn’t be a problem so he made no attempt to stop them.\n“City Lord, if we catch this human brat, can we get some kind of reward?” One of the masters suddenly asked, apparently wanting to extract some benefits from Gu Man.\n“Rewards your ass! Father here was sent to the edge of the Demon Land by Sir Xue Li to serve as City Lord of this desolate waste yet you dare ask me to reward you? If you want something, ask Yu Mo,” Gu Man spat angrily.\nHearing this, Yang Kai’s eyes light up as his mouth curled into a slight grin.\nGu Man’s words were nothing but curses and complaints, but they had actually revealed a piece of information that made Yang Kai quite excited.\nThis place really was at the edge of the Demon Land! That meant that as long as he could escape from here, he could leave the Demon Land.\n“Enough! After grabbing him are you still concerned you won’t get any benefits?” Yu Mo shouted, “Gu Man, you never change. If not, how could Sir Xue Li have sent you here? Your short-sightedness is the reason you never make any progress!”\nEven after being insulted so, Gu Man didn’t get annoyed and just laughed heartily, “You heard that right? Yu Mo just said that there’ll be reward for catching him. What are you waiting for, hurry up you idiots!”\nAs soon as the masters behind Gu Man heard this, their auras became fierce as they directed menacing stares towards Yang Kai, quickly spreading out to surround him.\nYang Kai didn’t panic and simply observed his surroundings with cold eyes, secretly preparing to unleash his Spiritual Energy to release his Soul Devouring Insects and kill all the cultivators here below the Saint Realm!\nJust as the two sides were on the verge of clashing though, An Ling’er suddenly shuddered and a look of fear and panic appeared on her pretty face, quickly pulling on Yang Kai’s clothes to get his attention.\n“What happened?” Yang Kai brow rose slightly as he asked under his breath, thinking An Ling’er might have sensed the other side trying to pull some kind of trick he had missed.\nHowever, An Ling’er’s beautiful eyes simply trembled as she gently lifted her finger and pointed to the distant horizon, “Over there!”\nUnconsciously glancing in the direction she was pointing, everyone was immediately dumbstruck.\nIn the distance, where the sky met the earth, a thick and tumultuous dark cloud had suddenly appeared and was now rapidly approaching them. From this dark cloud an ominous and eerie aura that made one feel particularly uncomfortable and a potent yet somewhat incoherent Spiritual Energy radiated.\n“Saintess Nan?” Yang Kai asked solemnly.\n“Fuck!” Yang Kai couldn’t help cursing under his breath. Whether it was being chased by Yu Mo and Feng Biao or being ambushed by Gu Man, Yang Kai was still able to maintain his calm because he still had cards to play. He believed that as long as he used his Devil Transformation, he could successfully bring An Ling’er and escape from here.\nBut at this critical moment, this never killing before death, after death slaughter a million corpses previous generation Saintess had actually appeared, disrupting all of Yang Kai’s plans and causing him a great deal of anxiety.\nYang Kai had already experienced Saintess Nan’s methods and knew that he was unable to resist her, even if he had broken through to the Second Order Transcendent Realm, he didn’t have any confidence he could flee from her.\nBeing able to escape from her hands last time was entirely thanks to the Void Corridor at the bottom of the sea, but now that Yang Kai had encountered Saintess Nan in this vast wilderness, there was no possibility of him fleeing successfully.\nYang Kai was agitated, but so were Feng Biao and Yu Mo.\nThey were both Saint Realm masters, so naturally they were able to sense how tyrannical the approaching person was. This was an existence that caused even them to feel dread.\nJust what kind of powerful master would come to this remote place? Unable to understand, they both unconsciously glanced over towards Yang Kai, wanting to obtain some kind of clue from him.\n“If you don’t want to die, I suggest you let us go, my reinforcements will be here soon!” Yang Kai looked at them coldly, trying his best to put on a calm appearance.\nSeeing this though, Yu Mo just snickered, “If the one coming is your reinforcements, why are they directing murderous intent towards you and that woman you’re holding?”\nYang Kai curled his lips helplessly, knowing there was no way he could fool Yu Mo and the other Saints here.\n“Boy, you sure know how to stir up trouble, actually provoking such a powerful enemy, you being able to live until today is nothing short of a miracle.”\n“Do you think I intentionally go around making powerful enemies?” Yang Kai grumbled indignantly. If he hadn’t inadvertently learned those three Nine Heavens Divine Skills from An Ling’er and become stained with her aura, Saintess Nan wouldn’t be targeting him like this.\n“Yu Mo, this aura of that person is a little weird…” Gu Man frowned as he carefully probed the approaching master, feeling that the Death Qi aura coming from them was far too heavy and that they lacked any kind of vitality a living person should have. Shaking his head, he asked, “What should we do?”\n“Quickly capture this little brat first!” Yu Mo didn’t dare to delay and immediately tried to seize the initiative. No matter how odd this newcomer’s aura was, Yu Mo was certain they possessed terrifying strength. Even if he and Gu Man joined forces, it was unlikely they’d be able to defeat this person.\n“Don’t bother, I’ll go with you!” Yang Kai said freely and easily, his attitude taking a complete one hundred and eighty degree turn. If he went with Yu Mo and the others, there was a chance he could survive, staying here would only mean certain death. Right now, he still didn’t have the ability to resist Saintess Nan!\n“Seems you know your limits, boy,” Yu Mo nodded lightly, expressing satisfaction, but soon his look changed again, a bitter smile appearing on his face, “I’m afraid it’s too late though… this person is too fast!”\nJust as these words left his lips, from the dark rolling cloud which was still a fair distance away, a hand seemingly carved of the finest jade stretched out towards them.\nAs this jade-like hand reached towards them, it grew larger and larger until eventually it seemed to cover the entire sky, blocking out all traces of light!\nHeaven Covering Hand! The hand that can cover the Heavens.\nThe Demon Race masters all began cursing while Yang Kai hastily retreated from this place together with An Ling’er.\n*Hong…* The earth shook and the patch of jungle that Gu Man and the others had previous hidden in was blown away, leaving behind only a dozen kilometer long palm print.\nIt was as if the region had been struck by some kind of natural disaster, the wind whipped and sand and dust flew in every direction. A few of the Demon Race masters with bad luck were unable to escape and were flattened on the spot.\nEveryone else, by pushing their strength to its limits, barely managed to avoid this calamity.\nYu Mo and Gu Man gathered together, both their faces unsightly. Even though the two of them already knew the strength of the approaching person was higher than their own, it wasn’t until the other side attacked that they discovered they had still underestimated this person.\nSecond Order Saint! This person had at least reached such a realm.\nStanding mid-air, Yu Mo and Gu Man didn’t show any fighting intent, only wishing they could quickly flee from this place, but they didn’t dare make any rash movements because ever since that huge palm had been thrown at them, a powerful Divine Sense had locked onto their bodies. Once they tried to escape, they would certainly be greeted by a ruthless attack.\nBoth of them took a deep breath and turned their eyes towards a certain spot in the distance. From the direction they were staring, the graceful figure of a woman dressed in a long white dress was slowly approaching.\nShe had exquisite looks and a noble and holy temperament; a rare beauty.\nBut at the moment, her expression was faint, and there was a thick Death Qi between her brows, making her complexion appear somewhat dark.\nFrom her, Yu Mo and Gu Man couldn’t feel the slightest trace of life.\nAs she walked forward, energy gathered at her slender fingertips, quickly shaping into sharp blades that shot towards everyone around her.\nThe Demon Race cultivators below the Saint Realm didn’t have the slightest ability to resist and within a few breaths had all been killed by this woman.\nSeeing this, Gu Man’s eyes went red as he shouted, “Whore, you dare attack my, Gu Man’s people?”\nYu Mo also wore a gloomy expression as he shouted out, “Damn woman, not even saying a word before indiscriminately killing everyone in sight, don’t you think you’re going too far?”\nFacing the angry roars of these two men, Saintess Nan didn’t respond at all and simply continued to leisurely step forward, her beautiful eyes not even blinking.\nIn his heart, Yang Kai cheered while maintaining a solemn look upon his face.\nSaintess Nan was already dead and obviously wouldn’t respond no matter what Yu Mo and Gu Man said, so naturally Yang Kai was happy to sit back and watch them confront one another.\nThe only problem now was how to escape from this previous generation Saintess. Even if Yu Mo and Gu Man worked together to intercept her, Yang Kai estimated that they wouldn’t be able to block her for long!\nStill standing in mid-air, as they watched Saintess Nan approach, the hairs on Yu Mo and Gu Man’s necks all stood on end, the two of them quickly exchanging a glance before condensing their strength.\nThey knew that today, they could not avoid fighting this woman.\nEven Feng Biao, who had so far been sitting back and observing, began to prepare himself. He too had been locked onto by Saintess Nan’s Divine Sense, so if he wanted to live, he could only temporarily join forces with Yu Mo and Gu Man to resist her.\nThe three First Order Saints immediately gathered together and relaxed slightly, even if they couldn’t defeat Saintess Nan, working together, they shouldn’t have too much trouble escaping her.\nA moment later, when Saintess Nan had approached within three hundred meters of them, a thick Demonic Qi burst out from the three Demon Race Saints, each of them using their full strength to launch a pre-emptive strike.\nIn response, a giant sword appeared in the sky and immediately slashed down towards the three Demon Race Saints, carrying with it an earth shattering power.\nProfound Heavenly Sword!\nThis giant sword projected an overwhelming power causing Yu Mo, Gu Man, and Feng Biao to tremble in fear."

第七百八十九章
魔族蛮城的这个城主看似五大三粗憨头憨脑，实则也是精明狡诈之辈，他深知郁末的为人，若不是把他给逼急了，郁末不可能这么称赞一个人类武者。
蛮城城主当即意识到，这个人类大概确实与众不同，以一层境的修为，击杀了三层境的荻枭……魔族没人能做到这等壮举，从来都是荻枭越阶杀人的，这一次他反被人给越阶击杀了，可见这人类的厉害之处。
“古蛮，这一次得劳烦你出手，我替你掠阵！” 郁末看了一眼不远处的丰彪，指示道，他明显不放心丰彪，必须得空出手来提防丰彪有什么轻举妄动。
“没问题，我最喜欢摧残年轻人的骄傲和自信了，尤其是象这个人类……想必会很有快感！” 古蛮重重颔首，脸色振奋起来，挥了挥手冲自己带来的那些吆喝道：“你们去试试他的深浅，别大意了，我可不希望替你们收尸！”
那些蛮城的强者纷纷狞笑着度步而来，一脸饶有兴致地打量起杨开。
郁末皱了皱眉，隐隐觉得有些不妥，但一想到这么多人对付杨开一个，大概应该没什么问题才是，便也没有阻止。
“城主，抓到这个人类小子，有没有奖赏啊？” 那些蛮城的强者吆喝起来，看样子是想从古蛮那里得点好处。
老子都被雪莉大人发配到魔疆边缘来当城主了，这里比沙城还要荒凉，你们还敢跟我提奖赏，要提也是跟郁末说才对。”
杨开闻言，眼前一亮，嘴角微微挑起一个弧度。
古蛮这些话虽然是在抱怨，却透露出一个让杨开振奋的消息。 这里真的是魔疆的边缘！
这就意味着，只要离开此地，便能逃离魔疆。
还少了你们的好处不成？” 郁末低喝，“古蛮你也就这点德行，若非如此，雪莉大人怎会把你安排在此地？ 鼠目寸光的家伙。
永远都没有长进！” 古蛮不恼，反而还嘿嘿笑道：“听到了没，郁末大人说，抓到了他便有赏，你们还在等什么。 赶紧动手啊蠢货们！”
蛮城那些强者们一听这话，气息顿时变得凌厉，纷纷脸色不善地望着杨开，不着痕迹地将他包围。
杨开一点也不显慌张，只是冷眼望着他们，神识力量暗暗凝聚，随时准备携噬魂之虫出击，一举将这些入圣境以下的武者统统击杀！
正在双方剑拔弩张之际，安灵儿忽然娇躯一颤，俏脸上涌出一丝惊恐和痛楚的神色。 情不自禁地拉了拉杨开的衣服。
“怎么了？” 杨开眉头微皱，轻声询问，他还以为安灵儿中了对方什么阴招。
安灵儿却是美眸颤抖，伸出一根手指指了下远方：“那边！”
顺着她手指的方向，所有人都凝神望去，只是一眼，全都愣住了。
那边的天空中，风云际会，一片浓浓翻滚奔腾的乌云正在朝这边凶猛袭来，在那乌云之中。 夹杂着让人及其不舒服的气息，隐隐约约还有一道匹练般的神念传递过来。
杨开忍不住暗骂一声。
被郁末和丰彪追击，被古蛮带人伏击拦截在此，他都没怎么在意，因为他的手段还没有全部施展出来，他相信，只要施展出入魔。 他完全能够带着安灵儿逃出升天。
但在这种关键时刻，这个生前不杀一人，死后屠尸百万的上一代圣女居然也追击到了这里，顿时打乱了杨开的计划，让他也急躁起来。
楠圣姑的手段，他领教过，那根本不是他能够抵挡的，即便现在自己晋升到了超凡两层境，杨开也没一点信心。
上次能够从她手上逃脱，完全是借助了海底的那个虚空甬道，如今身在荒郊野外，根本没有逃遁的可能。
杨开情绪激动，丰彪和郁末等人同样面色凝重。
他们全都是入圣境强者，自然能够察觉到来人的强横，那是连他们都要忌惮万分的存在。
什么样的高人，居然会来到这里？ 两人有些想不明白，若有所思地望了杨开一眼，想从他那里得到答案。
“不想死的话，就赶紧走，我的救兵来了！” 杨开冷冷地望着他们，努力保持神色的镇定。
郁末呵呵笑了一声：“我怎么感觉来人对你和你身边的女人杀机腾腾啊？”
杨开撇撇嘴，知道是没办法骗过郁末等人的。
“你这小子倒真能惹事，居然招惹了这么一个强大的敌人，你能活到现在可以算是奇迹了。”
“你以为我想？” 杨开一脸愤慨，若不是从安灵儿那里学习到了几招九天神技，染了安灵儿的气息，楠圣姑也不会这样针对他。
“不过郁末，这人的气息有些古怪啊……”古蛮皱着眉头，细细感应下来，总觉得来人的气息太过死气沉沉了，完全没有一点活人应该具备的波动，摇了摇头征询道：“我们怎么办？”
“抓了这小子赶紧走！” 郁末当机立断，也不敢再有耽搁，不管来人有多么古怪，对方的强横之处郁末已经感受到了，即便他与古蛮联手，也不一定能胜得了对方。
再不走，夜长梦多啊。 “不用了，我跟你们走！” 杨开洒脱至极，一下子改变自己的态度，跟郁末等人走或许还有一线生机，留下来那就是死路一条，他现在还没有与楠圣姑对抗的资本！
“小子识相。” 郁末微微颔首，表示满意，不过很快神色又是一变，苦笑道：“恐怕来不及了……这人，好快啊！”
话音刚落，还远在天边的滚滚乌云中，居然探出一只比例完美的芊芊玉手，遥遥地朝众人所在的方位覆盖过来。
随着这一只玉手的推进，那手掌也是越来越大，直到遮蔽了整片天空，让所有人都看不到一丝光明！
遮天手！ 只手遮天。
魔族的众强者纷纷破口大骂，杨开也连忙带着安灵儿，迅速离开原地。
地动山摇，古蛮等人原本藏身的那片密林一下子被拍进了地底深处，从上方俯瞰，方圆十几里的范围内，出现了一个恐怖至极的大手印。
如发生了天灾一般，狂风席卷，一片飞沙走石，几个运气不好的蛮城强者躲避不及，当场被拍成了肉泥。
剩下的人多少凭借自己精湛的修为，勉强避开了这一劫难。
郁末和古蛮汇聚一处，脸色从所未有的难看，尽管他们已经知道来人的强大，可直到对方动手的一瞬，他们才明白，自己还是有些低估了这人的手段。
入圣两层境！ 最起码也是这个修为。
凌立在半空之中，郁末和古蛮毫无战意，只想离此地越远越好，但他们根本不敢有丝毫妄动，因为在那巨大手印拍下的时候，一道神念已经锁定了他们的身体，他们一旦有什么动作，便会迎来无情的杀戮。
两人都深深地吸了口气，凝神朝一个方向望去，在那个方位上，一个身段婀娜曼妙，一身洁白衣裙的女子，正缓缓行来。
她的容貌娇美，身材苗条，气质不凡，是世间难得一见的美女。
但是此刻，她的表情木讷，眉宇间流淌着浓浓的死气，让她的脸色看起来有些暗黑。
从她身上，郁末和古蛮感受不到丝毫生机。
她在行走间，纤细的指尖迸发出一道道精炼的能量，化为一柄柄犀利的攻击，朝蛮城的那些强者袭去。
这些入圣境以下的强者在面对这些攻击时，根本没有丝毫抵挡之力，只不过几个呼吸的功夫，便被她斩杀殆尽，一个不留。
古蛮睚眦欲裂，嘶吼道：“你这臭婊子，居然敢对我古蛮的人下手？”
郁末也阴沉着脸喝道：“你这妇人，这般不问青红皂白便痛下杀手，是不是有些太过分了？”
面对两人的怒骂和质问，那信步而来的楠圣姑没有丝毫反应，美眸甚至都没有眨动一下。
杨开心中暗爽，表面不动声色。
楠圣姑早已是死人，郁末和古蛮无论说什么也不会得到回应的，杨开自然是乐得看好戏。
现在唯一难办的就是该如何从这上一代圣女手上逃过一劫，即便有郁末和古蛮拦截，杨开估计他们也撑不了多久！
半空中，随着楠圣姑的不断逼近，郁末和古蛮的汗毛全部倒竖起来，彼此对视一眼，力量迅速凝聚。
他们知道，今日是非得跟这妇人打一架了。
甚至就连一直在旁边看戏的丰彪也一脸愤怒，他同样被楠圣姑的神念锁定，想要活命，唯有暂时与郁末和古蛮联手抵挡。
三位入圣一层境当即汇聚到一处，这样的阵容即便赢不了楠圣姑，想要逃跑大概是没什么问题的。
片刻后，当楠圣姑接近到三十丈左右的时候，滚滚魔元骤然从魔族的三位入圣境强者体内迸发而出，三人全都施展出了十成的力量，朝楠圣姑攻去。
一柄巨剑凭空出现，当头朝三人斩下，携毁天灭地的威能。
玄天剑！
那巨剑中蕴藏着浓浓的死亡意境，让郁末三人胆战心惊。

Chapter 789 - Damn Woman
Though City Lord Man seemed like a gruff and brutish person, he was no fool. He knew that given Yu Mo’s personality, there was no way he would be praising a human cultivator unless there was no other alternative.
Realizing this, City Lord Man immediately understood that there was probably something special about this human boy. Killing a Third Order Transcendent with only a First Order cultivation… No one from the Demon Race could accomplish this kind of feat. On top of that, the one who was killed was Di Xiao, a man who always killed people in higher realms than his own; this only further emphasized how absurd this human’s strength must be.
“Gu Man, this time I’ll have to bother you to take action while I stand guard!” Yu Mo glanced over at Feng Biao who was standing not far away, indicating that he obviously didn’t trust Feng Biao and was concerned the latter would try something once he saw an opening.
“No problem, I like destroying the pride and self-confidence of young brats, especially ones like this human… Hah, this will be fun!” Gu Man nodded casually, lifting his head arrogantly as he waved to his hand, “All of you go test his skill. Don’t get careless, I don’t want to have to collect your corpses if you screw up!”
The masters behind City Lord Man all snickered as they turned malicious stares towards Yang Kai.
Yu Mo frowned and faintly felt that this course of action was somewhat improper, but he soon felt that so many people dealing with Yang Kai shouldn’t be a problem so he made no attempt to stop them.
“City Lord, if we catch this human brat, can we get some kind of reward?” One of the masters suddenly asked, apparently wanting to extract some benefits from Gu Man.
“Rewards your ass! Father here was sent to the edge of the Demon Land by Sir Xue Li to serve as City Lord of this desolate waste yet you dare ask me to reward you? If you want something, ask Yu Mo,” Gu Man spat angrily.
Hearing this, Yang Kai’s eyes light up as his mouth curled into a slight grin.
Gu Man’s words were nothing but curses and complaints, but they had actually revealed a piece of information that made Yang Kai quite excited.
This place really was at the edge of the Demon Land! That meant that as long as he could escape from here, he could leave the Demon Land.
“Enough! After grabbing him are you still concerned you won’t get any benefits?” Yu Mo shouted, “Gu Man, you never change. If not, how could Sir Xue Li have sent you here? Your short-sightedness is the reason you never make any progress!”
Even after being insulted so, Gu Man didn’t get annoyed and just laughed heartily, “You heard that right? Yu Mo just said that there’ll be reward for catching him. What are you waiting for, hurry up you idiots!”
As soon as the masters behind Gu Man heard this, their auras became fierce as they directed menacing stares towards Yang Kai, quickly spreading out to surround him.
Yang Kai didn’t panic and simply observed his surroundings with cold eyes, secretly preparing to unleash his Spiritual Energy to release his Soul Devouring Insects and kill all the cultivators here below the Saint Realm!
Just as the two sides were on the verge of clashing though, An Ling’er suddenly shuddered and a look of fear and panic appeared on her pretty face, quickly pulling on Yang Kai’s clothes to get his attention.
“What happened?” Yang Kai brow rose slightly as he asked under his breath, thinking An Ling’er might have sensed the other side trying to pull some kind of trick he had missed.
However, An Ling’er’s beautiful eyes simply trembled as she gently lifted her finger and pointed to the distant horizon, “Over there!”
Unconsciously glancing in the direction she was pointing, everyone was immediately dumbstruck.
In the distance, where the sky met the earth, a thick and tumultuous dark cloud had suddenly appeared and was now rapidly approaching them. From this dark cloud an ominous and eerie aura that made one feel particularly uncomfortable and a potent yet somewhat incoherent Spiritual Energy radiated.
“Saintess Nan?” Yang Kai asked solemnly.
“Fuck!” Yang Kai couldn’t help cursing under his breath. Whether it was being chased by Yu Mo and Feng Biao or being ambushed by Gu Man, Yang Kai was still able to maintain his calm because he still had cards to play. He believed that as long as he used his Devil Transformation, he could successfully bring An Ling’er and escape from here.
But at this critical moment, this never killing before death, after death slaughter a million corpses previous generation Saintess had actually appeared, disrupting all of Yang Kai’s plans and causing him a great deal of anxiety.
Yang Kai had already experienced Saintess Nan’s methods and knew that he was unable to resist her, even if he had broken through to the Second Order Transcendent Realm, he didn’t have any confidence he could flee from her.
Being able to escape from her hands last time was entirely thanks to the Void Corridor at the bottom of the sea, but now that Yang Kai had encountered Saintess Nan in this vast wilderness, there was no possibility of him fleeing successfully.
Yang Kai was agitated, but so were Feng Biao and Yu Mo.
They were both Saint Realm masters, so naturally they were able to sense how tyrannical the approaching person was. This was an existence that caused even them to feel dread.
Just what kind of powerful master would come to this remote place? Unable to understand, they both unconsciously glanced over towards Yang Kai, wanting to obtain some kind of clue from him.
“If you don’t want to die, I suggest you let us go, my reinforcements will be here soon!” Yang Kai looked at them coldly, trying his best to put on a calm appearance.
Seeing this though, Yu Mo just snickered, “If the one coming is your reinforcements, why are they directing murderous intent towards you and that woman you’re holding?”
Yang Kai curled his lips helplessly, knowing there was no way he could fool Yu Mo and the other Saints here.
“Boy, you sure know how to stir up trouble, actually provoking such a powerful enemy, you being able to live until today is nothing short of a miracle.”
“Do you think I intentionally go around making powerful enemies?” Yang Kai grumbled indignantly. If he hadn’t inadvertently learned those three Nine Heavens Divine Skills from An Ling’er and become stained with her aura, Saintess Nan wouldn’t be targeting him like this.
“Yu Mo, this aura of that person is a little weird…” Gu Man frowned as he carefully probed the approaching master, feeling that the Death Qi aura coming from them was far too heavy and that they lacked any kind of vitality a living person should have. Shaking his head, he asked, “What should we do?”
“Quickly capture this little brat first!” Yu Mo didn’t dare to delay and immediately tried to seize the initiative. No matter how odd this newcomer’s aura was, Yu Mo was certain they possessed terrifying strength. Even if he and Gu Man joined forces, it was unlikely they’d be able to defeat this person.
“Don’t bother, I’ll go with you!” Yang Kai said freely and easily, his attitude taking a complete one hundred and eighty degree turn. If he went with Yu Mo and the others, there was a chance he could survive, staying here would only mean certain death. Right now, he still didn’t have the ability to resist Saintess Nan!
“Seems you know your limits, boy,” Yu Mo nodded lightly, expressing satisfaction, but soon his look changed again, a bitter smile appearing on his face, “I’m afraid it’s too late though… this person is too fast!”
Just as these words left his lips, from the dark rolling cloud which was still a fair distance away, a hand seemingly carved of the finest jade stretched out towards them.
As this jade-like hand reached towards them, it grew larger and larger until eventually it seemed to cover the entire sky, blocking out all traces of light!
Heaven Covering Hand! The hand that can cover the Heavens.
The Demon Race masters all began cursing while Yang Kai hastily retreated from this place together with An Ling’er.
*Hong…* The earth shook and the patch of jungle that Gu Man and the others had previous hidden in was blown away, leaving behind only a dozen kilometer long palm print.
It was as if the region had been struck by some kind of natural disaster, the wind whipped and sand and dust flew in every direction. A few of the Demon Race masters with bad luck were unable to escape and were flattened on the spot.
Everyone else, by pushing their strength to its limits, barely managed to avoid this calamity.
Yu Mo and Gu Man gathered together, both their faces unsightly. Even though the two of them already knew the strength of the approaching person was higher than their own, it wasn’t until the other side attacked that they discovered they had still underestimated this person.
Second Order Saint! This person had at least reached such a realm.
Standing mid-air, Yu Mo and Gu Man didn’t show any fighting intent, only wishing they could quickly flee from this place, but they didn’t dare make any rash movements because ever since that huge palm had been thrown at them, a powerful Divine Sense had locked onto their bodies. Once they tried to escape, they would certainly be greeted by a ruthless attack.
Both of them took a deep breath and turned their eyes towards a certain spot in the distance. From the direction they were staring, the graceful figure of a woman dressed in a long white dress was slowly approaching.
She had exquisite looks and a noble and holy temperament; a rare beauty.
But at the moment, her expression was faint, and there was a thick Death Qi between her brows, making her complexion appear somewhat dark.
From her, Yu Mo and Gu Man couldn’t feel the slightest trace of life.
As she walked forward, energy gathered at her slender fingertips, quickly shaping into sharp blades that shot towards everyone around her.
The Demon Race cultivators below the Saint Realm didn’t have the slightest ability to resist and within a few breaths had all been killed by this woman.
Seeing this, Gu Man’s eyes went red as he shouted, “Whore, you dare attack my, Gu Man’s people?”
Yu Mo also wore a gloomy expression as he shouted out, “Damn woman, not even saying a word before indiscriminately killing everyone in sight, don’t you think you’re going too far?”
Facing the angry roars of these two men, Saintess Nan didn’t respond at all and simply continued to leisurely step forward, her beautiful eyes not even blinking.
In his heart, Yang Kai cheered while maintaining a solemn look upon his face.
Saintess Nan was already dead and obviously wouldn’t respond no matter what Yu Mo and Gu Man said, so naturally Yang Kai was happy to sit back and watch them confront one another.
The only problem now was how to escape from this previous generation Saintess. Even if Yu Mo and Gu Man worked together to intercept her, Yang Kai estimated that they wouldn’t be able to block her for long!
Still standing in mid-air, as they watched Saintess Nan approach, the hairs on Yu Mo and Gu Man’s necks all stood on end, the two of them quickly exchanging a glance before condensing their strength.
They knew that today, they could not avoid fighting this woman.
Even Feng Biao, who had so far been sitting back and observing, began to prepare himself. He too had been locked onto by Saintess Nan’s Divine Sense, so if he wanted to live, he could only temporarily join forces with Yu Mo and Gu Man to resist her.
The three First Order Saints immediately gathered together and relaxed slightly, even if they couldn’t defeat Saintess Nan, working together, they shouldn’t have too much trouble escaping her.
A moment later, when Saintess Nan had approached within three hundred meters of them, a thick Demonic Qi burst out from the three Demon Race Saints, each of them using their full strength to launch a pre-emptive strike.
In response, a giant sword appeared in the sky and immediately slashed down towards the three Demon Race Saints, carrying with it an earth shattering power.
Profound Heavenly Sword!
This giant sword projected an overwhelming power causing Yu Mo, Gu Man, and Feng Biao to tremble in fear.

Being a strong willed genin, even Chiyo’s body showed a hint of fear, the whole body slightly shivered.\nShe fought back this tremble, and replied in a more grim voice, “Come to the abandoned factory at the western suburbs, I hope Mr. Qin can continue to abide.”\nWith that, she hung up the phone. What was that? Why would I be afraid of that person’s words? Do these cultivators really know some kind of sorcery?\n“Miss Chiyo, does he really come alone?” In the abandoned factory, Zhong Liangguo dressed in white suit and hand held a hard copy of Sun Tzu elegantly stood.\nOn his side, there was a curly haired hot beauty, tied on a chair. Even her lips were sealed by a tape and can only hum a word.\n“Yes, it is confirmed, Mr. Zhong can rest assured,” Chiyo replied with simple words, and then her body entered the darkness, no longer spoke.\nThe tied on a chair Yu Lu showed a panic look in her eyes, humming words that nobody can listen.\nAlthough Qin Chao was very powerful, this time, he came to a trap. In this abandoned factory, although it looked like there were only her and Zhong Liangguo two people, in the dark, there were numerous gunmen lying in ambush.\nAnd there were also some very strange Ninja. Yu Lu saw more than one of them climbed on the wall, into the ceiling, and then hid their bodies in the dark.\nThese were no ordinary Ninjas. Yu Lu was worried that if Qin Chao came here rashly, there will certainly be a danger.\nEven if he was strong, he would not be able to deal with so many enemies lying in secrets.\nBut what made Yu Lu trembled in fear the most was that this Zhong Liangguo has prepared many heavy arms.\nOn the top platforms covered in shadows, he hid some kind of a Gatling gun. Two men were lurking there, one was responsible for shooting and the other one was responsible for the ammo.\nAt the highest cargo shelves, there was also an ambush shooter, with a bazooka on his shoulder. Even if Qin Chao’s body was even more strong, being bombarded by a bazooka would only lead to his body being torn apart by the explosion!\nWith such a frightening lineup, let alone Qin Chao, even if he was a terminator, it would only end in him being ruthlessly put down.\nThinking about Qin Chao’s dying appearance, Yu Lu’s eyes were overwhelmed with fear.\nShe shook her head and hummed even louder.\n“Miss Yu Lu, why won’t you stay still and be quiet?” Zhong Liangguo looked this tied up beauty, and immediately thought about his shame in the Liao mansion that day, making his heart immediately burning with evil intention.\nHāhāhā! After he said that, Zhong Liangguo stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Yu Lu’s plump chest. This father will take all the women in Liao House. Liao Dongkai, this father will f*ck your future wife, and then do your daughter! Hahaha!\nThinking of this, Zhong Liangguo was very excited, his extended hand could not bear but shiver.\nYu Lu widened her eyes, trying hard to shrink her body, but was held by the chair. Zhong Liangguo’s hand was getting closer, seemingly uninterested in flirting. His hand slowly reached out toward her, and was about to grab her breast.\nTears of shame appeared on the corner of Yu Lu’s eyes, even if she has to bit her lip to commit suicide, she would never want to suffer his insult.\n“Swoosh!” At this time, a bright cold light suddenly flashed, scratched Zhong Liangguo’s hand and flew to the other side of the factory, and then nailed on the wall.\nZhong Liangguo shivered in fear, and then looked at his finger, which unexpectedly showed a trace of blood.\n“Before the target appears, please do not touch the bait.” Chiyo’s icy voice flew out from the dark, making Zhong Liangguo’s clenched his jaws in anger. But he cannot afford to offend this Ninja, and therefore had to bit his teeth and stood aside.\n“Young master.” At this time, brother Gang walked out from the corner and stood beside Zhong Liangguo, and whispered, “These Japanese were too arrogant. Why don’t we backstab them after this is over? And then, put all the blame on that kid Qin Chao. Hehe, young master, that Japanese woman looks good, she can make young master happy.”\n“Hush!” Zhong Liangguo made a gesture to stop him. But looking at his face, he seemed to be very satisfied with this idea, “Not bad, you Gang kid is quite smart. Let’s do it your way, first get rid of Qin Chao, and then this Japanese.”\n“Young master is wise….” Obscene thoughts flashed through brother Gang’s eyes , “But young master, when you finish with her, can you give us brothers a taste of that soup.”\n“Do not worry.” Zhong Liangguo understood the need of his subordinate, patted him on the shoulder, and then said, “If this thing succeeds, you will definitely have your share. Brothers are like hands and feet, while women are like clothes. This dress is so beautiful, after this master finish wearing it, I will give it to you.”\nBrother Gang immediately launched his flattery, praising the speaker and praising the words. But actually, in his heart he secretly muttered, humph, this is just a Japanese girl, but what I want is your little sweetheart, you should have chop me instead. What brothers are like hands and feet, women are like clothes? Is that include the lower part! You wear my clothes, I stamp your hands and feet!\n“Young master, there are some things that I still do not understand.” After waiting for a long time, that brother Gang spoke in a whisper, “This time, with our heavy firepower, to kill this kid Qin Chao should be no problem. Why, boss, you still have to please these ghost Ninjas?”\n“You do not understand.” Zhong Liangguo’s eyes flashed with a hint of fear, as he recalled the events in the Liao house, his body shuddered, “That kid is really evil, I am afraid, even with our resources we still cannot kill him. These Japanese want to help us get rid of him, they give us this cheap thing, of course we take it.”\n“Young master’s thinking is really far.” Brother Gang also thought Qin Chao was like a god that day when he dropped from the sky and flipped his Nissan car with just a kick. Thinking of this, his mind thought that there was a chill in the air.\nThat guy is not a human! Brother Gang concluded in his heart.\nHe was suddenly somewhat worried, Could these people really take down Qin Chao?\nZhong Liangguo was also worried about this problem, but thinking about his great effort in obtaining these Gatling gun and bazooka, his heart quieted down. In any case, there are those two big things. Let alone this Qin Chao, even if Megatron and Optimus Prime also come, they would still be flattened by such a firepower.\nJust when he thought about this, a Ninja suddenly jumped in from the outside and made a hand signal. Then his body moved in a vertical direction like a bird, his body attached to the wall on top of the door and then disappeared on the roof.\nAll the people shook, the signal from that Ninja was clear, Qin Chao finally arrived.\nSure enough, a figure dressed in a black trenchcoat soon appeared at the door. He slowly entered the door, seemingly without the slightest bit of fear. His hand pulled out a cigarette and a lighter, lit it up, and then put it in his mouth.\n“Young master Zhong.” Standing at the door, smoking a cigarette, Qin Chao looked at Zhong Liangguo in a white suit, and sneered, “Sure enough, this is really your good deed.”\nAfter he said that, he spat out a smoke ring from his mouth, “I am here, you should also do your part, let the people go.”\nSeeing Qin Chao, Yu Lu’s eyes lit up, and simultaneously remembered about the ambush. As she cried, she desperately shook her head and stomped her feet on the ground, wanting to make Qin Chao leave.\n“Do not worry.” Qin Chao said to Yu Lu, and gave her a big smile, “I will soon bring your back home.”\n“I am afraid you all will have to stay here.” Zhong Liangguo laughed, a black figure suddenly appeared by his side, reached out and pulled Yu Lu along with the chair, and then quickly vanished from Qin Chao’s sight after giving Qin Chao a cold glance.\nNinja!\nThat black figure immediately attracted Qin Chao’s attention. That Ninja was wrapped in black blue clothes, revealing only a pair of eyes. Moreover, that figure’s eyes seemed very familiar to Qin Chao.\n“Young master Zhong, you did not pay particular attention in your choice.” Qin Chao pulled his cigarette and threw it on the floor, “You actually collude with the Japanese, if this is not a traitor then what?”\n“F*ck, what the f*ck is traitor!” Brother Gang pulled a gun from his waist, aimed it at Qin Chao, and angrily roared, “Kid, your time is up! People who mess with us Zhong family never end well.”\n“Yo, isn’t this brother Gang?” Being pointed by a gun seemed nothing to Qin Chao. He put his hands in his coat pockets and looked straight at that brother Gang.\n“That kind of stuff can give you courage?” Qin Chao’s words were like a cold wind, floating inside the factory, making brother Gang frightened and shed out cold sweat.\n“D*mn, don’t think that you are so amazing with that little Kung Fu!” Zhong Liangguo saw Qin Chao’s arrogant demeanor, finally tore his elegant disguise, and swore, “I am telling you, this area is filled with this young master’s men! You and Yu Lu will never step one foot from here! After this young master kills you, Liao Shasha will not escape my palm, hahaha!”\nZhong Liangguo hysterically laughed. His self-satisfied look made Qin Chao felt disgusted.\n“You’re that confident, huh?” Qin Chao could not help but facetiously ask.\n“You will soon know!” Zhong Liangguo waved his hand. Suddenly from the darkness came out a sturdy man, in his hand, there was an Uzi submachine gun. Other than him, there were also several other people with AK-47, all of its muzzles were pointed at Qin Chao.\nThen, the factory door behind Qin Chao was suddenly closed, keeping Qin Chao inside the factory. If not for the moonlight that came from the rows of windows above, this factory would be plunged into darkness.\n“This time, I want to see how are you going to stay arrogant!” Zhong Liangguo guffawed, “See that, there is total of forty individuals here, and everyone has a gun in their hands! Even if it’s just one person can make a hole in your body! Look at yourself, you are only one person, you have no chance of winning….”\n“If you want to fight, then fight, why so much nonsense. Is this a football game? Do we need to introduce the both squads?” Qin Chao was somewhat impatient and interrupted Zhong Liangguo’s words.\n“Humph!” Zhong Liangguo sneered, “Qin Chao, I see that you are a talented person, so I want you to work for me. What is so good about following Liao Dongkai? The job is dangerous and the pay is not high. If you follow me, I will give you a villa, and then a sports car! And a monthly salary of at least six digits!”"

第一百五十六章
“如果你们敢伤她一根寒毛，我会让你们统统下地狱。”
电话那头，秦朝的声音冷的仿佛严冬里的寒风，带着狂暴的冰雪，席卷着千代的身体。 身为一个意志坚定的下忍，千代竟然察觉了一丝恐惧，浑身微微颤抖。
她强忍住这种胆战心惊，用更冷酷地声音说道，“西野郊区的废弃工厂，希望秦先生能继续守约。”
自己是怎么搞的，竟然会因为一个人的一句话而害怕。 难道，这些修真者，真的会什么妖术么？
在这废弃工厂的另一边，钟少爷穿着白西装，手里捧着一本精装的孙子兵法，气质优雅地站在那里。
他身边还有一个烫着卷发的美女，被捆在椅子上。 连她的嘴，都被胶带封着，呜呜地说不出话来。
“是的，已经确认，钟先生可以放心。” 千代回了一句，身体便隐入了黑暗之中，不再说话。
那余露被绑着，眼中闪烁着惊慌，嘴里呜呜个不听。
虽然秦朝很厉害，但这一次却是针对他的陷阱。 这废弃工厂，好像只有她和钟良国两个人，但在黑暗之中，却埋伏着数不清的枪手。
而且还有几个很诡异的忍者，余露曾经亲眼看到一个忍者沿着水泥墙，攀爬到了天花板上，然后就贴在那里，身体隐入黑暗。
这些忍者不简单，余露担心秦朝贸然来的话，肯定会有危险。
就算他再强，也对付不了这么多暗中的敌人。
最让余露心惊胆战的，是这一次钟良国不济成本，弄了很多重军火回来。
在上方平台的暗处，他藏了一把座式的加特林机枪，两个手下埋伏在那里。 一个负责开枪，一个负责上弹链。
在最高的货物架上，也埋伏着一个枪手。 他身上扛着的是一枚火箭筒，就算秦朝身体再结实，被火箭筒轰一下，也得血肉横飞，四分五裂吧！
这样恐怖的阵容，别说是秦朝，就算是来了个魔鬼终结者，也要被无情的放倒吧。
一想到秦朝惨死的模样，余露眼中的恐惧更胜了。
她拼命晃着头，嘴里嚷声更大了。
“余露小姐，为什么不考虑安静一下？” 钟良国看到这个被绑起来的美女，想到了那天在廖家受到的耻辱，心中立刻烧起了一股邪火。
说着，钟良国伸出手来，就要向着余露那丰满的胸-部抓去。 老子就是要搞你们廖家的女人，廖东凯，老子搞完了你的未来老婆，还要再搞你的女儿！ 哈哈哈！
想到这里，钟良国就十分兴奋，伸出去的手也忍不住颤抖起来。
余露瞪大了眼睛，努力向往身后缩，却是被紧紧地绑在了凳子之上。 而钟良国那只手却离自己越来越近，对方好像是有意调戏自己一样，手慢慢的伸向自己，眼看就要抓在自己的胸口上面。
余露的眼角留下了羞辱的泪水，就算是咬舌自尽，也不想受这种家伙的侮-辱。
就在这时候，一道黑色的寒光忽然一闪而过，擦着钟良国的手飞到了工厂的另一边，当的一声钉在墙面上。
钟良国吓得一个哆嗦，再看手指上，赫然多了一条浅浅的血痕。
千代那冷冰冰地声音飞了出来，钟良国恨的咬牙切齿。 但这些忍者他又万万得罪不起，只好一咬牙，冷哼一声站到旁边。 “少爷。”
这时候，刚哥从角落里走了出来，站在钟良国的身边，低声说道，“这帮日本矮子太目中无人了。 要不要，事后咱们下黑手，把这帮忍者干掉。
“嘘！” 钟良国做了个手势，但看他的样子，似乎很满意这个主意，“不错，你刚子也聪明了一回。 就这么办，先干掉秦朝，然后再做了这些日本矮子。”
“韩少英明……”刚哥眼中闪着淫-邪的光芒，“不过少爷，您爽完之后，能不能也给咱们弟兄喝点汤。”
“放心。” 钟良国也知道自己手下的德行，拍拍他的肩膀，说道，“这事如果办成了，少不了你那一份。 兄弟如手足，女人如衣服。
刚哥连忙又阿谀奉承，说着赞美地话。 其实他心里暗中嘀咕，哼，这就是个日本妞，我要对你那些小情人动了心思，你早把我给砍了。 什么兄弟如手足，女人如衣服。
“少爷，有一点我还是不明白。” 等了半天，那刚哥又低声说道，“凭咱们这次的重火力，干掉秦朝那小子，应该没什么问题吧。 为什么，老大你还要请这些鬼里鬼气的忍者回来。”
“你不懂。” 钟良国眼中忽然闪过一丝恐惧，他回想起当日在廖家发生的事情，就不寒而栗，“那小子邪的很，我怕咱们这些人，也放不倒他。 有日本人帮咱们出手，这种便宜事，为什么不捡。”
“还是少爷想的远。” 刚哥也想到那一天，秦朝如同神明一般，从天而降，一脚踩翻一辆尼桑车的事情，他心中也跟着泛起了寒意。
那个家伙不是人！ 刚哥下了一个结论。
他忽然又有些担心起来，自己这些人，真的能干掉秦朝么？
其实钟良国也在担心这个问题，但他一想到自己花大力气弄来的加特林和火箭炮，心里顿时安稳下来。 不管怎么说，还有那俩大家伙在。
刚想到这里，一个忍者忽然从大门外面蹿了进来，打了一个手势。 然后他身体一纵，好像只大鸟似的，贴着门上的墙壁，就消失在房顶。
众人身体一震，这个忍者出现，就表示秦朝已经来了。
果然，很快，大门口就出现了一个穿着黑风衣的身影。 他缓缓从门外走进来，似乎丝毫不畏惧即将来临的恐惧，反而从怀中掏出香烟和火机，点燃之后，叼在嘴上。
“钟少爷。” 秦朝站在大门口，抽着烟，看着那一身白西装的钟良国，冷笑不已，“果然是你做的好事。”
他说着，悠悠地吐出一个烟圈来，“我来了，你们也该按照约定，把人放了吧。”
看到秦朝，余露的眼睛亮起来，同时想起这里的埋伏，她一边哭，一边拼命地摇头，双脚还在地上跺着，意思让秦朝快走。
“别担心。” 秦朝对着余露，给了她一个大大的笑容，“我很快就把你带出去。”
“怕是，你们都要留在这里了。” 钟良国却哈哈大笑起来，而一个黑色的身影突然出现在他身边，伸手提起捆着余露的椅子，回头冷冷看了秦朝一眼，然后又倏地一声，消失在场地之中。
忍者！
那黑影的打扮，立刻引起了秦朝的注意。 那忍者浑身裹在深蓝色的衣服之中，只露出一对眼睛。 而且，那人的眼神，秦朝似乎觉得很熟悉。
“钟少，你不讲究啊。” 秦朝掐灭了烟头，扔到地上，“你竟然勾结日本人帮忙，这不是汉奸做的事么。”
刚哥从腰里掏出枪，指着秦朝，破口大骂道，“小子，今天你的死期到了！ 惹了我们钟家的人，从来没有好下场。” “呦，这不是刚哥么。”
被一把手枪指着，秦朝却是不以为意，双手插在风衣的兜里，连个正眼都没给那刚哥。
“那种东西，能够给你勇气么？” 秦朝的话像是一阵寒风，飘进这工厂之中，让刚哥浑身发毛，冷汗直流。
“妈的，别以为会点功夫就了不起了！” 钟良国看到秦朝如此嚣张的样子，终于撕破了他优雅的伪装，破口骂道，“我告诉你，这里现在都是本少爷的人！ 你和余露，谁都活不了！
钟良国狂笑起来，得意的模样让秦朝生起厌恶的感觉来。
“你就那么有信心？” 秦朝忍不住戏谑地问道。
这些大汉手中都拿着军火，有手枪，乌兹微冲。 甚至还有几个人，手里端着A-47，枪口全都指着站在大门口的秦朝。
接着，那敞开的大门也忽然间轰然关上，把秦朝关在了这工厂之中。 若不是工厂上方一排排的窗户洒下来的月光，估计这里会陷入彻底的黑暗之中。
钟良国狂笑，“看到了么，这里现在有四十个人，每个人手里都有枪！ 就算一人一枪，也能把你打成塞子！
“打就打，为什么还要这么多废话。 足球赛吗？
你跟着我，我送你一套别墅，再送你一辆跑车！ 月薪，起码六位数！” C！

Chapter 156 Ambush
“If you guys dare to touch even a finger of her, I will send you all to hell.”
At the other end of the telephone, Qin Chao’s voice was as cold as the winds of winter, bringing with it a raging snow, sweeping through thousands of bodies. Being a strong willed genin, even Chiyo’s body showed a hint of fear, the whole body slightly shivered.
She fought back this tremble, and replied in a more grim voice, “Come to the abandoned factory at the western suburbs, I hope Mr. Qin can continue to abide.”
With that, she hung up the phone. What was that? Why would I be afraid of that person’s words? Do these cultivators really know some kind of sorcery?
“Miss Chiyo, does he really come alone?” In the abandoned factory, Zhong Liangguo dressed in white suit and hand held a hard copy of Sun Tzu elegantly stood.
On his side, there was a curly haired hot beauty, tied on a chair. Even her lips were sealed by a tape and can only hum a word.
“Yes, it is confirmed, Mr. Zhong can rest assured,” Chiyo replied with simple words, and then her body entered the darkness, no longer spoke.
The tied on a chair Yu Lu showed a panic look in her eyes, humming words that nobody can listen.
Although Qin Chao was very powerful, this time, he came to a trap. In this abandoned factory, although it looked like there were only her and Zhong Liangguo two people, in the dark, there were numerous gunmen lying in ambush.
And there were also some very strange Ninja. Yu Lu saw more than one of them climbed on the wall, into the ceiling, and then hid their bodies in the dark.
These were no ordinary Ninjas. Yu Lu was worried that if Qin Chao came here rashly, there will certainly be a danger.
Even if he was strong, he would not be able to deal with so many enemies lying in secrets.
But what made Yu Lu trembled in fear the most was that this Zhong Liangguo has prepared many heavy arms.
On the top platforms covered in shadows, he hid some kind of a Gatling gun. Two men were lurking there, one was responsible for shooting and the other one was responsible for the ammo.
At the highest cargo shelves, there was also an ambush shooter, with a bazooka on his shoulder. Even if Qin Chao’s body was even more strong, being bombarded by a bazooka would only lead to his body being torn apart by the explosion!
With such a frightening lineup, let alone Qin Chao, even if he was a terminator, it would only end in him being ruthlessly put down.
Thinking about Qin Chao’s dying appearance, Yu Lu’s eyes were overwhelmed with fear.
She shook her head and hummed even louder.
“Miss Yu Lu, why won’t you stay still and be quiet?” Zhong Liangguo looked this tied up beauty, and immediately thought about his shame in the Liao mansion that day, making his heart immediately burning with evil intention.
Hāhāhā! After he said that, Zhong Liangguo stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Yu Lu’s plump chest. This father will take all the women in Liao House. Liao Dongkai, this father will f*ck your future wife, and then do your daughter! Hahaha!
Thinking of this, Zhong Liangguo was very excited, his extended hand could not bear but shiver.
Yu Lu widened her eyes, trying hard to shrink her body, but was held by the chair. Zhong Liangguo’s hand was getting closer, seemingly uninterested in flirting. His hand slowly reached out toward her, and was about to grab her breast.
Tears of shame appeared on the corner of Yu Lu’s eyes, even if she has to bit her lip to commit suicide, she would never want to suffer his insult.
“Swoosh!” At this time, a bright cold light suddenly flashed, scratched Zhong Liangguo’s hand and flew to the other side of the factory, and then nailed on the wall.
Zhong Liangguo shivered in fear, and then looked at his finger, which unexpectedly showed a trace of blood.
“Before the target appears, please do not touch the bait.” Chiyo’s icy voice flew out from the dark, making Zhong Liangguo’s clenched his jaws in anger. But he cannot afford to offend this Ninja, and therefore had to bit his teeth and stood aside.
“Young master.” At this time, brother Gang walked out from the corner and stood beside Zhong Liangguo, and whispered, “These Japanese were too arrogant. Why don’t we backstab them after this is over? And then, put all the blame on that kid Qin Chao. Hehe, young master, that Japanese woman looks good, she can make young master happy.”
“Hush!” Zhong Liangguo made a gesture to stop him. But looking at his face, he seemed to be very satisfied with this idea, “Not bad, you Gang kid is quite smart. Let’s do it your way, first get rid of Qin Chao, and then this Japanese.”
“Young master is wise….” Obscene thoughts flashed through brother Gang’s eyes , “But young master, when you finish with her, can you give us brothers a taste of that soup.”
“Do not worry.” Zhong Liangguo understood the need of his subordinate, patted him on the shoulder, and then said, “If this thing succeeds, you will definitely have your share. Brothers are like hands and feet, while women are like clothes. This dress is so beautiful, after this master finish wearing it, I will give it to you.”
Brother Gang immediately launched his flattery, praising the speaker and praising the words. But actually, in his heart he secretly muttered, humph, this is just a Japanese girl, but what I want is your little sweetheart, you should have chop me instead. What brothers are like hands and feet, women are like clothes? Is that include the lower part! You wear my clothes, I stamp your hands and feet!
“Young master, there are some things that I still do not understand.” After waiting for a long time, that brother Gang spoke in a whisper, “This time, with our heavy firepower, to kill this kid Qin Chao should be no problem. Why, boss, you still have to please these ghost Ninjas?”
“You do not understand.” Zhong Liangguo’s eyes flashed with a hint of fear, as he recalled the events in the Liao house, his body shuddered, “That kid is really evil, I am afraid, even with our resources we still cannot kill him. These Japanese want to help us get rid of him, they give us this cheap thing, of course we take it.”
“Young master’s thinking is really far.” Brother Gang also thought Qin Chao was like a god that day when he dropped from the sky and flipped his Nissan car with just a kick. Thinking of this, his mind thought that there was a chill in the air.
That guy is not a human! Brother Gang concluded in his heart.
He was suddenly somewhat worried, Could these people really take down Qin Chao?
Zhong Liangguo was also worried about this problem, but thinking about his great effort in obtaining these Gatling gun and bazooka, his heart quieted down. In any case, there are those two big things. Let alone this Qin Chao, even if Megatron and Optimus Prime also come, they would still be flattened by such a firepower.
Just when he thought about this, a Ninja suddenly jumped in from the outside and made a hand signal. Then his body moved in a vertical direction like a bird, his body attached to the wall on top of the door and then disappeared on the roof.
All the people shook, the signal from that Ninja was clear, Qin Chao finally arrived.
Sure enough, a figure dressed in a black trenchcoat soon appeared at the door. He slowly entered the door, seemingly without the slightest bit of fear. His hand pulled out a cigarette and a lighter, lit it up, and then put it in his mouth.
“Young master Zhong.” Standing at the door, smoking a cigarette, Qin Chao looked at Zhong Liangguo in a white suit, and sneered, “Sure enough, this is really your good deed.”
After he said that, he spat out a smoke ring from his mouth, “I am here, you should also do your part, let the people go.”
Seeing Qin Chao, Yu Lu’s eyes lit up, and simultaneously remembered about the ambush. As she cried, she desperately shook her head and stomped her feet on the ground, wanting to make Qin Chao leave.
“Do not worry.” Qin Chao said to Yu Lu, and gave her a big smile, “I will soon bring your back home.”
“I am afraid you all will have to stay here.” Zhong Liangguo laughed, a black figure suddenly appeared by his side, reached out and pulled Yu Lu along with the chair, and then quickly vanished from Qin Chao’s sight after giving Qin Chao a cold glance.
Ninja!
That black figure immediately attracted Qin Chao’s attention. That Ninja was wrapped in black blue clothes, revealing only a pair of eyes. Moreover, that figure’s eyes seemed very familiar to Qin Chao.
“Young master Zhong, you did not pay particular attention in your choice.” Qin Chao pulled his cigarette and threw it on the floor, “You actually collude with the Japanese, if this is not a traitor then what?”
“F*ck, what the f*ck is traitor!” Brother Gang pulled a gun from his waist, aimed it at Qin Chao, and angrily roared, “Kid, your time is up! People who mess with us Zhong family never end well.”
“Yo, isn’t this brother Gang?” Being pointed by a gun seemed nothing to Qin Chao. He put his hands in his coat pockets and looked straight at that brother Gang.
“That kind of stuff can give you courage?” Qin Chao’s words were like a cold wind, floating inside the factory, making brother Gang frightened and shed out cold sweat.
“D*mn, don’t think that you are so amazing with that little Kung Fu!” Zhong Liangguo saw Qin Chao’s arrogant demeanor, finally tore his elegant disguise, and swore, “I am telling you, this area is filled with this young master’s men! You and Yu Lu will never step one foot from here! After this young master kills you, Liao Shasha will not escape my palm, hahaha!”
Zhong Liangguo hysterically laughed. His self-satisfied look made Qin Chao felt disgusted.
“You’re that confident, huh?” Qin Chao could not help but facetiously ask.
“You will soon know!” Zhong Liangguo waved his hand. Suddenly from the darkness came out a sturdy man, in his hand, there was an Uzi submachine gun. Other than him, there were also several other people with AK-47, all of its muzzles were pointed at Qin Chao.
Then, the factory door behind Qin Chao was suddenly closed, keeping Qin Chao inside the factory. If not for the moonlight that came from the rows of windows above, this factory would be plunged into darkness.
“This time, I want to see how are you going to stay arrogant!” Zhong Liangguo guffawed, “See that, there is total of forty individuals here, and everyone has a gun in their hands! Even if it’s just one person can make a hole in your body! Look at yourself, you are only one person, you have no chance of winning….”
“If you want to fight, then fight, why so much nonsense. Is this a football game? Do we need to introduce the both squads?” Qin Chao was somewhat impatient and interrupted Zhong Liangguo’s words.
“Humph!” Zhong Liangguo sneered, “Qin Chao, I see that you are a talented person, so I want you to work for me. What is so good about following Liao Dongkai? The job is dangerous and the pay is not high. If you follow me, I will give you a villa, and then a sports car! And a monthly salary of at least six digits!”

"value": "Chapter 555: Slaughter Translator: Iamgt Editor: Lucas\n\"I hear something.\" As an Internal Martial Arts cultivator who had cultivated to the final stage of the Supreme Force, Teng Shou had an extremely good hearing.\nHe listened closely.\n\"Brother, how much longer till we reach the Xing Yi Sect?\"\n\"Haha, don't worry. We are traveling with the caravan of Qingshan Enterprise. I am sure we will reach the Great Yan Mountain in 10 to 15 days. You will witness the sacred land of the Internal Martial Arts cultivators by then. You can only claim to be strong when you are in our village. When you reach the Great Yan Mountain, you will know that no matter how strong you are, there is always someone stronger.\"\nThe voices of over a thousand teenagers sounded nonstop among the caravan of people. All of them were excited and happy that they were about to enter the Xing Yi Sect in the Great Yan Mountain. Yet, they had no idea that a disaster was about to descend upon them.\n\"Eh?\"\nTeng Shou's ears twitched. After he had excluded the voices of the caravan, he finally heard very soft-sounding whispers. Because the soft whispers sounded in the wilderness, where the bitterly cold wind blew heavily, he could barely hear the voices.\n\"There are quite a lot of people hiding over there.\" Teng Shou stared afar at the hill that was covered with snow.\nBehind the hill, a group of warriors dressed in silver armor could be seen. This group of warriors held their breaths as they listened to the instructions given by their leader.\n\"Everyone, it all depends on this moment. Today, I will be counting on you all.\" The leader observed all the soldiers around him coldly as he spoke. \"Among this caravan of Qingshan Enterprise, there are over a thousand cultivators wishing to join the Xing Yi Sect. If we make our move, there will be one of two results.\"\n\"It's either our death or theirs!\" The deep voice sounded behind the mountain.\nOver a hundred people nodded in response. All of them looked fierce and sharp.\n\"Go!\" the leader ordered, and the 100+ warriors, wearing silver armor and carrying bows and arrows, immediately dashed out from the hill.\nThe caravan of people advanced slowly on the official road, forming a long line like the body of a dragon. As for Teng Shou, he was paying full attention to the hill.\nThe bitter and cold wind howled in the wilderness.\nSuddenly, quick footsteps sounded.\n\"Bandits! Watch out!\" Teng Shou roared, and his shout instantly broke the peaceful atmosphere. A \"szzzt\" sound was heard. Everyone immediately began moving back to the center. Simultaneously, the guards of the caravan drew their weapons or nocked their arrows. Instantly, the formation was formed.\nIt was normal for a caravan to encounter bandits. Therefore, the merchants and guards were very skillful.\nTeng Shou had shouted \"bandits\" because he didn't want the caravan of people to panic and cause any disruptions. \"How dare they attempt to rob us?\"\nMost of the passionate young men and teenagers wielded long spears. Some held blades and swords. These fervent teenagers were eager to try their fighting techniques. All of them stared at the 100+ silent warriors dressed in silver armor, like a beast watching its prey.\n\"However, these bandits are all wearing battle armor. And the armor they're wearing isn't low-quality.\" Realizing that, the Internal Martial Arts cultivators became more cautious.\n\"Whew!\"\nA slightly taller man in silver armor was seen. When this man raised his right hand, the 100+ warriors immediately stopped at the same time. The scene of this shocked the caravan of Qingshan Enterprise. To be able to notice the leader's gesture while running at an extremely fast speed was not something that could easily be done, even by elite soldiers.\n\"Very quick reaction.\" A deep voice sounded. It was the man dressed in silver armor. Originally, the man dressed in silver armor had planned for his troop to charge forward and slaughter the caravan of people. Yet, he did not expect his troop to be discovered so quickly, nor did he expect the caravan of people to have such a quick reaction.\nWah!\nThe 100+ soldiers remained silent as they took out the bows on their backs. They drew their bows and placed their arrows pointing towards the caravan. All the guards of the caravan also held their bows and arrows, preparing to fire at any time.\n\"Who are you guys!/. This is the caravan of Qingshan Enterprise! Leave quickly, or a fight is inevitable,\" the leader of the caravan shouted coldly.\nWhen the leader of the caravan heard that the arrows were poisonous, his expression darkened and he immediately shouted, \"Fire!\"\nWhew! Whew! Whew!\nImmediately, several hundred arrows pierced through the air. The warriors just dodged slightly, and only twenty percent of warriors were shot by the arrows. Clang! After flying a distance of several Zhang, the arrows couldn't pierce through the silver suits of armor donned by the silent warriors.\nThe leader sneered coldly and ordered, \"Kill them all!\"\nAt the sound of the order, the silent warriors released the arrows with dark blue poison on the tips. The moment the arrows left the bow— \"Roar~~\"\nSuddenly, a roar that sent tremors through one's body sounded underground and resonated in the wilderness. Simultaneously, a blurred figure instantly appeared right in front of the caravan, creating a strong gust of wind. The wind blew up a great amount of snow, stones, and mud toward the 100+ warriors.\nBecause of the strong wind, the speed of the arrows slowed rapidly. In the end, the arrows were blown back to where they came from.\nA hurricane howled, blowing up the sand and rocks. The silent warriors who were initially very confident were shocked. As the hurricane raged on, the warriors could no longer see ahead. Some warriors were even taken up by the wind. Many of them quickly performed the Thousand Jin Plunge, but even after performing this technique, they still couldn't stand firmly.\n\"Where did this weird wind come from?\" Many warriors were panicking\n\"Separate yourselves!\" the leader shouted. \"Go behind the hill.\"\nThe 100+ warriors immediately dashed towards the hill. After all, this hurricane definitely couldn't blow a hill away.\nBut then, the strange wind suddenly vanished.\n\"Eh?\" Perceiving the disappearance of the hurricane, the silver-armored warriors who had already dashed to the side of the hill all turned and looked back confusedly.\nThe Six Legged Bladelike Chi could be seen floating right before the caravan. With its two pairs of wings, it had stirred up the terrifying hurricane that had blown away the arrows. The four limbs and two legs of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi flashed a cold glint, and its blood red eyes struck fear into the hearts.\n\"It's the Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast, Bladelike Chi!\" The leader's face instantly turned pale white. \"Run!!!\"\n\"It's too late,\" Teng Shou, who stood in the caravan, said as he smiled coldly.\n\"Roar~~\" As the blood red eyes of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi flashed, the spikes on one of its bladelike limbs flew out and hovered right before its body. The total of 100 spikes was arranged into ten per row, and there were a total of ten rows. Soon—\nThe speed of the spikes was so astonishingly fast that none could dodge. Puchi! Puchi!\nThe spikes instantly penetrated the armor of the warriors. Against these spikes, their suits of battle armor were just like papers.\nPlop! As the warriors collapsed, blood flowed out of their wounds.\nHowever, the spikes of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi could only attack one area at a time. The Bladelike Chi could only control all 100 spikes and fire all of them towards one spot. It couldn't control each individual spike. Therefore, this attack was most effective against troops that were crowded together.\nIf the troop had scattered about the area, the Bladelike Chi could only kill 10-20 people with the 100 spikes.\nAnd this time, when the Six Legged Bladelike Chi shot its spikes, it took the lives of 18 people.\nWhew! However, the 100 spikes assembled again and repeated the same action. At this moment, the group of warriors was like the target board for the darts.\n\"How could there be Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast?\"\n\"How did this happen?\"\nMany warriors who had been silent began emitting deep, angry roars.\n\"Who betrayed us!?\" every silver-armored warrior shouted furiously.\n\"Attack!\"\"Attack!\" The group of silver-armored warriors became crazy. They roared furiously as they spread out. They then stormed towards the caravan of people. Simultaneously, the survived silver armored warriors pulled back the bowstrings and arrows. This was a troop with almost 2000 people, meaning that the arrows would attack a huge area.\nWhew! Whew! Whew!\nWhile the Six Legged Bladelike Chi slaughtered the warriors, arrows were fired toward the caravan. Because the arrows covered a very huge range, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi wasn't able to block a lot of them.\nPuchi! Puchi!\nThe Six Legged Bladelike Chi smashed the warriors twice with its 100 spikes. And so, only a dozen men that survived were still running.\n\"Who betrayed us?!\"\n\"Who?!\"\nWhile the group of warriors was screaming, the leader took out a round ball from his bosom and threw it towards the caravan.\n\"Hold your breath.\" The loud roar sounded sounded in the caravan and yellow mist pervaded the area.\nWithin less than a second, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi blurred and immediately killed the dozen people. From the beginning until the end, the group of strong warriors had never been able to fight a close combat fight with the caravan of people, because the Six Legged Bladelike Chi was too fast… Moreover, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi's group attack was astonishingly skillful.\nThe caravan of people soon calmed down.\nTeng Shou frowned and asked, \"How are you all?\" The leader of the caravan showed a hint of anger as he said respectfully, \"That group of warriors is too ruthless. The poison on their arrows kills immediately. In our caravan, two guards, one merchant, and two young Internal Martial Arts cultivators were killed.\"\nTeng Shou's facial expression changed.\n\"In addition, they dipped their blades and swords in poison as well.\" The leader of the caravan gnashed his teeth as he spoke. \"If it wasn't for you and the Six Legged Bladelike Chi, they would've been able to kill everyone in this caravan.\"\n\"When we tried to capture the wounded ones alive, three guards were killed,\" the leader of the caravan explained as he suppressed his rage. \"After that, all the wounded warriors committed suicide.\"\nTeng Shou's facial expression became worse.\n\"Investigate. Find their identity through their faces and other characteristics,\" Teng Shou said in a deep tone. \"There are 100 people, and the weaker of these 100 are Second Rated Warriors. I just don't believe we can't find any information. Find information through their blades, swords, and armor as well.\""

第十一章
“有动静。” 作为修炼到罡劲后期的内家拳修炼者滕兽耳朵灵敏至极。
他仔细聆听着。
“哥你说我们还有多久能到形意门啊。”
你那点功夫也就在咱们村称霸。 到了大延山你就知道天外有天人外有人了。” 商队当中。
上千名少年们议论嘈杂声不断个个都为即将进入大延山形意门而高兴他们却不知道一场灾难即将降临。
“嗯？”
滕兽双耳动了动他排除商队里面的声音终于听到了远处很微弱的一些微弱说话声因为是在荒野之中寒风极大他也一时间听不清。
“有人而且不少。” 滕兽目光落在远处那座满是积雪的荒山上。
这座荒山背后只见一群尽皆穿着银色铠甲的武者们一个个都屏息听着领的命令。
“诸位养军千日用在一时今日就看诸位的了。” 这领冷冽目光扫视了周围一群人一眼低沉道“这只清山会馆商队当中有欲要加入形意门的内家拳修炼者上千人。
低沉冷厉的声音在荒山这背后响起。
过百号人尽皆点头个个目光凌厉。
“动手！” 领一声令下过百号的尽皆穿着银色战甲背负着弓箭的武者们立即从荒山后闪电般冲出。
商队犹如一条长龙缓缓行进在官道上。 而滕兽的注意力完全落在这荒山当中。
“呼～呼～～荒野冲寒风呼啸。
“有强盗！
小心！” 滕兽猛地一声嘶吼嘶吼声瞬间撕破了平静整个商队几乎哗的一声所有人开始很熟练地朝中间收缩同时商队的护卫们个个拔出了自己的兵器。 或是手持弓箭瞬旬结成阵势。
商队面对强盗这是常有的事所以这些都很熟练。
滕兽不想商队慌乱才喊有强盗“竟然敢打劫我们？” “真是找死。”
不少热血沸腾的清年、少年们大多都手持长枪部分也是手持刀剑一个个跃跃欲试仿佛猛兽看着猎物似的盯着远处冲出来的过百号尽皆穿着银色战甲的沉就武者们。
“不过这些强盗竟然都穿着战甲而且不是一般劣质铠甲。” 这些内家拳弟子们很快也警慑起来。
“呼！”
只见一名个子略高的银色战甲男子高举右手顿时过百号人瞬间就同时停下。 这令行禁止的一幕让青山会馆商队大吃一惊。
低沉声音从银色战甲男子口中响起。 本来他是想直接冲上去一阵杀戮的可没想到对方这么快现而且应对的如此快。 既然无法杀个措手不及那就正面杀吧！
哗！
过百号沉就武者同时拿起背后的长弓瞬间就拉开弓弦搭上箭矢。 所有箭矢都是遥遥对着商队方向。
而商队内的护卫们不少护卫也同样手持弓箭随时准备射击。 “什么人这是青山会馆商队！
听到有毒商队领头人物面色一沉立即喝道：“放箭！”
咻！ 咻！
顿时数百道箭矢破空而去那过百名沉就武者只是略微闪躲只有两成的武者被箭矢射中不过尽皆出锵的一声箭矢飞过数十丈远后根本无法射穿这些沉就武者身上的银色战甲。
那领冷笑一声：“诸位杀光他们！”
一声从地底传出的让人不由自主心颤的吼声突兀地响起在荒野当中传播开。
同时一道模糊幻影瞬旬就Ｊ浮现在商队的前方并且一股飓风凭空产生强大的飓风疯狂一般舌起掀起大量的积雪石头、泥土席卷向过百名武者。
那一根根箭矢在飓风当中度极锐减而后甚至于被吹的零散倒飞回去。 只有部分射的偏远的数根箭矢没有被波及到。
呼～呼～飓风呼啸一片飞沙走石原本自信十足的过百号沉就武者们大吃一惊。 飓风之下他们根本看不清前方甚至于有些武者情不自禁都被吹得半飘了起来连连施展千斤坠等手段也很难站稳。
“哪来的怪风？” 不少武者们有些惊乱。
“分开！” 领急喝道“冲到荒山之后。”
过百号武者们立即迅朝荒山当中冲去毕竟这股飓风是吹不走一座小山的。
之前诡异出现的飓风很突兀地又再度消失了。
“嗯？” 感觉到飓风消失已经冲到荒山边上的不少银色战甲武者们都疑惑转头看过来。
只见六足刀篪悬浮在商队前方州才正是靠它的两双翅膀才掀起那股可怕飓风直接吹散了众多箭矢。 六足刀篪的四条手臂以及两条大腿刀锋之上都闪烁着冰冷的光泽。
那双血红色双眸更让人心寒二“是虚境妖兽刀篪！” 领面色瞬间惨白嘶吼道快逃！
晚了。” 在商队当中的滕兽露出一丝冷酷笑容。
“吼～~”六足刀篪血红色双肝目光一闪随后只见密密麻麻的其中一根刀臂上的所有尖刺尽皆飞出悬浮在它身前。
只见那在荒山前的过百号银色战甲武者们“噗哧！”
尖刺瞬间射穿战甲在六足刀篪的尖刺面前这些战甲就好似纸糊的一般。
鲜血也从窟窿中流出。 噗通！
不过六足刀篪的尖刺攻击”是覆盖性攻击只能定一个大概范围而后一次性捧控上百根直接射过去。 它也做不到分别控制每一根。 这就使得六足刀篪这一招在面对密集军队的时候效果最好。
分散太厉害的军队一百根尖刺恐怕只能杀十几二十个。
而这次六足刀篪一波筛过去也就令十八人死伤。
可是那一百根尖刺竟然再一次集结又一次筛过去。 那群武者们就好似靶子一般。
“怎么会有虚境妖兽在。”
怎么会这样。”
不少一直沉就的武者们出愤怒地低吼声。
“有人告密！” 谁背叛了我们！”
杀！” 这群银色战甲武者们疯狂了一个个怒吼着彼此分散开极大距离而后疯狂朝商队中冲去同时这些幸存的银色战甲武者们都拉开弓箭作为一个近两千人的军队那是极长的。 咻！
咻！
在六足刀篪屠戮他们的同时同时一根根箭矢朝商队各处射去。 因为幅散范围太广六足刀篪也来不及拦下多少。
“噗哧！”
六足刀篪的一百根尖刺又是筛了两次。 原本过百名的武者们只剩下十余人还奔跑着。
“谁背叛我们！”
“是谁！”
这群武者在愤怒嘶吼同时竟然从怀中取出一个圆球而后猛地朝商队当中扔去。
只见不少黄色雾气弥漫开。 六足刀篪化作一道幻影仅仅一个呼吸功夫就直接将那十余人直接给杀死。
从头到尾这群很有实力的武者根本没有跟商队近身战没办法六足刀篪的度实在太快二而且群攻能力太惊人。
商队很快就稳定下来。
“怎么样？” “这群武者太心狠了他们的毒箭都是中者立毙的毒我们商队当中有两名护卫一位商人以及两名内家拳少年都不幸殒命。”
滕兽面色一变。
“而且他们的刀剑上也都喂了毒二办商队领头人咬牙切齿道“如果不是大人你们在恐怕他们这百号人绝对能杀光我们商队所有人。”
商队领头人强忍愤怒说道“而后所有活口尽皆自尽。” 滕兽脸色愈加难看。
“给我查从他们的样貌等查出他们的身份。”
滕兽低沉道“我就不信这么一群高手最弱的都是二流武者中一等一人物二而且有上百人就查不出一点踪迹。 还有他们的刀剑、战甲都给我查。”

Chapter 555: Slaughter Translator: Iamgt Editor: Lucas
"I hear something." As an Internal Martial Arts cultivator who had cultivated to the final stage of the Supreme Force, Teng Shou had an extremely good hearing.
He listened closely.
"Brother, how much longer till we reach the Xing Yi Sect?"
"Haha, don't worry. We are traveling with the caravan of Qingshan Enterprise. I am sure we will reach the Great Yan Mountain in 10 to 15 days. You will witness the sacred land of the Internal Martial Arts cultivators by then. You can only claim to be strong when you are in our village. When you reach the Great Yan Mountain, you will know that no matter how strong you are, there is always someone stronger."
The voices of over a thousand teenagers sounded nonstop among the caravan of people. All of them were excited and happy that they were about to enter the Xing Yi Sect in the Great Yan Mountain. Yet, they had no idea that a disaster was about to descend upon them.
"Eh?"
Teng Shou's ears twitched. After he had excluded the voices of the caravan, he finally heard very soft-sounding whispers. Because the soft whispers sounded in the wilderness, where the bitterly cold wind blew heavily, he could barely hear the voices.
"There are quite a lot of people hiding over there." Teng Shou stared afar at the hill that was covered with snow.
Behind the hill, a group of warriors dressed in silver armor could be seen. This group of warriors held their breaths as they listened to the instructions given by their leader.
"Everyone, it all depends on this moment. Today, I will be counting on you all." The leader observed all the soldiers around him coldly as he spoke. "Among this caravan of Qingshan Enterprise, there are over a thousand cultivators wishing to join the Xing Yi Sect. If we make our move, there will be one of two results."
"It's either our death or theirs!" The deep voice sounded behind the mountain.
Over a hundred people nodded in response. All of them looked fierce and sharp.
"Go!" the leader ordered, and the 100+ warriors, wearing silver armor and carrying bows and arrows, immediately dashed out from the hill.
The caravan of people advanced slowly on the official road, forming a long line like the body of a dragon. As for Teng Shou, he was paying full attention to the hill.
The bitter and cold wind howled in the wilderness.
Suddenly, quick footsteps sounded.
"Bandits! Watch out!" Teng Shou roared, and his shout instantly broke the peaceful atmosphere. A "szzzt" sound was heard. Everyone immediately began moving back to the center. Simultaneously, the guards of the caravan drew their weapons or nocked their arrows. Instantly, the formation was formed.
It was normal for a caravan to encounter bandits. Therefore, the merchants and guards were very skillful.
Teng Shou had shouted "bandits" because he didn't want the caravan of people to panic and cause any disruptions. "How dare they attempt to rob us?"
Most of the passionate young men and teenagers wielded long spears. Some held blades and swords. These fervent teenagers were eager to try their fighting techniques. All of them stared at the 100+ silent warriors dressed in silver armor, like a beast watching its prey.
"However, these bandits are all wearing battle armor. And the armor they're wearing isn't low-quality." Realizing that, the Internal Martial Arts cultivators became more cautious.
"Whew!"
A slightly taller man in silver armor was seen. When this man raised his right hand, the 100+ warriors immediately stopped at the same time. The scene of this shocked the caravan of Qingshan Enterprise. To be able to notice the leader's gesture while running at an extremely fast speed was not something that could easily be done, even by elite soldiers.
"Very quick reaction." A deep voice sounded. It was the man dressed in silver armor. Originally, the man dressed in silver armor had planned for his troop to charge forward and slaughter the caravan of people. Yet, he did not expect his troop to be discovered so quickly, nor did he expect the caravan of people to have such a quick reaction.
Wah!
The 100+ soldiers remained silent as they took out the bows on their backs. They drew their bows and placed their arrows pointing towards the caravan. All the guards of the caravan also held their bows and arrows, preparing to fire at any time.
"Who are you guys!/. This is the caravan of Qingshan Enterprise! Leave quickly, or a fight is inevitable," the leader of the caravan shouted coldly.
When the leader of the caravan heard that the arrows were poisonous, his expression darkened and he immediately shouted, "Fire!"
Whew! Whew! Whew!
Immediately, several hundred arrows pierced through the air. The warriors just dodged slightly, and only twenty percent of warriors were shot by the arrows. Clang! After flying a distance of several Zhang, the arrows couldn't pierce through the silver suits of armor donned by the silent warriors.
The leader sneered coldly and ordered, "Kill them all!"
At the sound of the order, the silent warriors released the arrows with dark blue poison on the tips. The moment the arrows left the bow— "Roar~~"
Suddenly, a roar that sent tremors through one's body sounded underground and resonated in the wilderness. Simultaneously, a blurred figure instantly appeared right in front of the caravan, creating a strong gust of wind. The wind blew up a great amount of snow, stones, and mud toward the 100+ warriors.
Because of the strong wind, the speed of the arrows slowed rapidly. In the end, the arrows were blown back to where they came from.
A hurricane howled, blowing up the sand and rocks. The silent warriors who were initially very confident were shocked. As the hurricane raged on, the warriors could no longer see ahead. Some warriors were even taken up by the wind. Many of them quickly performed the Thousand Jin Plunge, but even after performing this technique, they still couldn't stand firmly.
"Where did this weird wind come from?" Many warriors were panicking
"Separate yourselves!" the leader shouted. "Go behind the hill."
The 100+ warriors immediately dashed towards the hill. After all, this hurricane definitely couldn't blow a hill away.
But then, the strange wind suddenly vanished.
"Eh?" Perceiving the disappearance of the hurricane, the silver-armored warriors who had already dashed to the side of the hill all turned and looked back confusedly.
The Six Legged Bladelike Chi could be seen floating right before the caravan. With its two pairs of wings, it had stirred up the terrifying hurricane that had blown away the arrows. The four limbs and two legs of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi flashed a cold glint, and its blood red eyes struck fear into the hearts.
"It's the Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast, Bladelike Chi!" The leader's face instantly turned pale white. "Run!!!"
"It's too late," Teng Shou, who stood in the caravan, said as he smiled coldly.
"Roar~~" As the blood red eyes of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi flashed, the spikes on one of its bladelike limbs flew out and hovered right before its body. The total of 100 spikes was arranged into ten per row, and there were a total of ten rows. Soon—
The speed of the spikes was so astonishingly fast that none could dodge. Puchi! Puchi!
The spikes instantly penetrated the armor of the warriors. Against these spikes, their suits of battle armor were just like papers.
Plop! As the warriors collapsed, blood flowed out of their wounds.
However, the spikes of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi could only attack one area at a time. The Bladelike Chi could only control all 100 spikes and fire all of them towards one spot. It couldn't control each individual spike. Therefore, this attack was most effective against troops that were crowded together.
If the troop had scattered about the area, the Bladelike Chi could only kill 10-20 people with the 100 spikes.
And this time, when the Six Legged Bladelike Chi shot its spikes, it took the lives of 18 people.
Whew! However, the 100 spikes assembled again and repeated the same action. At this moment, the group of warriors was like the target board for the darts.
"How could there be Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast?"
"How did this happen?"
Many warriors who had been silent began emitting deep, angry roars.
"Who betrayed us!?" every silver-armored warrior shouted furiously.
"Attack!""Attack!" The group of silver-armored warriors became crazy. They roared furiously as they spread out. They then stormed towards the caravan of people. Simultaneously, the survived silver armored warriors pulled back the bowstrings and arrows. This was a troop with almost 2000 people, meaning that the arrows would attack a huge area.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
While the Six Legged Bladelike Chi slaughtered the warriors, arrows were fired toward the caravan. Because the arrows covered a very huge range, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi wasn't able to block a lot of them.
Puchi! Puchi!
The Six Legged Bladelike Chi smashed the warriors twice with its 100 spikes. And so, only a dozen men that survived were still running.
"Who betrayed us?!"
"Who?!"
While the group of warriors was screaming, the leader took out a round ball from his bosom and threw it towards the caravan.
"Hold your breath." The loud roar sounded sounded in the caravan and yellow mist pervaded the area.
Within less than a second, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi blurred and immediately killed the dozen people. From the beginning until the end, the group of strong warriors had never been able to fight a close combat fight with the caravan of people, because the Six Legged Bladelike Chi was too fast… Moreover, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi's group attack was astonishingly skillful.
The caravan of people soon calmed down.
Teng Shou frowned and asked, "How are you all?" The leader of the caravan showed a hint of anger as he said respectfully, "That group of warriors is too ruthless. The poison on their arrows kills immediately. In our caravan, two guards, one merchant, and two young Internal Martial Arts cultivators were killed."
Teng Shou's facial expression changed.
"In addition, they dipped their blades and swords in poison as well." The leader of the caravan gnashed his teeth as he spoke. "If it wasn't for you and the Six Legged Bladelike Chi, they would've been able to kill everyone in this caravan."
"When we tried to capture the wounded ones alive, three guards were killed," the leader of the caravan explained as he suppressed his rage. "After that, all the wounded warriors committed suicide."
Teng Shou's facial expression became worse.
"Investigate. Find their identity through their faces and other characteristics," Teng Shou said in a deep tone. "There are 100 people, and the weaker of these 100 are Second Rated Warriors. I just don't believe we can't find any information. Find information through their blades, swords, and armor as well."

"value": "Chapter 44: Three Yu Lei International indeed proved itself to be a company run by women. The interior decorations for the dining hall which encompasses the whole 15th-storey, were clean, bright, open, and delightfully colored.\nLarge floor-to-ceiling glass windows were present on all four sides, and one could gaze upon the entire landscape of Zhong Hai City. The tables and chairs were all avant-garde silver-white colored mix of metal and plastic, showing a strong fashionable style. The lighting of the dining hall was also elegant and fresh, the hanging lights with glass that had a crystal-like texture came in various colors and types. In the hall, potted plants were sparsely distributed at the four corners, their tender and lovely leaves showed that someone had been showing great care to them.\nAt the counter for swiping their IDs, the table used was similar to those used in bars. The food and beverage workers wore clean and white work clothing, and welcomed everybody with smiles.\nWhen Yang Chen entered the dining hall with the 3 ladies, not much attention was brought onto them. After all, despite Yu Lei International having comparatively lesser men, that did not mean they didn’t have any, it was only the PR Department which was a little special. On top of that, there were over 200 workers in the headquarters, when all were assembled onto this level, men wouldn’t be so eye-catching.\nSeeing Yang Chen’s expression of interest, Zhang Cai laughed and said, “What do you think, it’s not bad right? Our company’s welfare is considered one of the very best in the entire Zhong Hai.”\n“The design of this place is great, I felt my appetite rise the moment I entered.” Yang Chen spoke honestly.\n“The dining hall’s renovation was personally designed by our CEO. In these 2 years that our CEO has been on the job, the company’s performance and welfare all increased substantially, we’re all her fans.” Said Zhang Cai with a sense of pride.\nCEO? Isn’t that my family’s ice-cold wife? When Yang Chen thought of that, then looked at the 4 corners’ clean and neat decorations, he seemed to gain some deep understanding of it.\nZhao Hongyan suddenly turned her head and said, “I suddenly thought of something after she mentioned the CEO, yesterday the CEO called you to her office, what actually happened?”\n“Haven’t I said it already? She was just greeting a new colleague.” Yang Chen vaguely replied.\n“Who would believe you!” Zhao Hongyan coquettishly protested. She knew she couldn’t get an answer out, so she changed questions, “Hey, Yang Chen, you’ve met our CEO, how does it feel to meet her?”\n“Did you come from Mars? You entered our company, how could it be that you don’t know our Boss Lin has a reputation of being the number one beauty in Zhong Hai’s business world?” Zhao Hongyan had a face of disbelief.\nThere’s such a title? Yang Chen really didn’t know, he laughed then said, “She’s alright I guess, just ice-cold, merely looking at her can induce goosebumps in the heart.”\n“It goes without saying that the CEO should have a distinctive temperament.” Liu Mingyu who kept silent suddenly threw in a line, Zhao Hongyan and Zhang Cai both followed with sounds of approval.\nYang Chen was surprised, he didn’t expect that in the hearts of the workers of Yu Lei International, Lin Ruoxi’s coldness was regarded as a distinctive temperament, moreover they seem particularly respectful to her. It seemed like it didn’t matter if it was personal charm or management skills, his family’s beautiful wife was indeed extraordinary in every way.\nThe 4 people took the dishes they wanted then sat at a comparatively larger table. At this time Yang Chen realized, at the east of the dining hall, there was a space separated by a glass window with flower decorations, forming a private area, the tables inside were brightly colored, and the chairs were similarly colored leather sofas.\n“Sitting inside there will definitely be even more comfortable, why hasn’t anybody gone in?” Yang Chen asked puzzlingly.\nThe 3 ladies took a glance, then Zhang Cai answered, “That is the dining area for the company’s management level, only those who possess positions of vice-head and above may enter, the management level’s food is also different, they have a great chef to specially cook for them.”\n“Such a large area but there isn’t a soul?” Yang Chen felt a little pity, “How about we go over there, it will be a waste if it was empty anyways.”\nZhao Hongyan said, “At the vice-head level and above, which of them doesn’t have meetings often? Who will have the free time to eat at the company’s dining hall every day? However, you need not think of going in, rules are rules, little employees like us only need to do our part well.”\nLiu Mingyu then said, “Actually, that can also be considered as a motivational policy for normal employees, only with a difference in treatment can one’s competitive spirit be raised. Only with a competitive spirit can one make progress, I think this is necessary.”\nYang Chen looked at his plate’s chicken cutlet and cauliflower, it’s cooked well, but with only the size of two hands, he gloomily frowned, “There’s so little dishes, so little rice, I only need 2 or 3 mouthfuls to finish it, it isn’t even as filling as a 5 dollars meal from a small restaurant.”\nThe 3 ladies looked at each other in dismay, all of them revealed expressions of being unable to understand. The fact was, they simply didn’t know what a 5 dollars meal from those small restaurants in the markets were like. Seeing Yang Chen’s expression of not having enough to eat, wordlessly, they began moving some of their dishes and rice on their plates to Yang Chen’s with their chopsticks.\n“Usually we can’t finish our food, so we’ll let you have some.” Zhao Hongyan helplessly laughed, “In the future if you join us for lunch, we can avoid wasting food.”\nRight at this moment, a line of people entered the dining hall, many workers in the dining hall quietly stood up, revealing a somewhat nervous expression, and greeted those people.\n“Oh, the CEO and department heads have come, the department heads’ meeting has ended.” Zhang Cai cried out in alarm, stopped whatever she was doing, and stood up like the other ladies.\nStanding at the forefront was the impressive Lin Ruoxi, with her hair tied up in a bun, and no cosmetics on her clean, moon-like face. That ice-cold temperament could repel others from a thousand miles away. She was like a heavenly goddess, in a pure black outfit, and seemed especially lucid and elegant beyond compare.\nThis was a woman who didn’t need any makeup, and only needs to be present to captivate her surroundings.\nThe other management level people who entered together with her proved this point. The majority of them were ladies, they wore fitting clothes, had graceful temperaments, some were older yet still attractive, while some were youthful and pretty. This included Yang Chen’s superior, the PR Department’s Mo Qianni. However, at that point of time, these glamorous beauties who followed behind Lin Ruoxi were like moons covered by the sun, and weren’t as dazzling as they usually were.\nAfter a short glance or two, Yang Chen lowered his head, he felt that in this situation, it was better for him to just eat.\nTherefore, as everybody present stopped eating and stood up to greet, Yang Chen who wolfed down his chicken cutlet, suddenly stood out like a sore thumb.\nWhen Lin Ruoxi walked past Yang Chen, she didn’t stop for the slightest moment, and didn’t even pay a glance, as if she totally didn’t recognize Yang Chen. The fact was, when she just entered, she saw the scene of the 3 ladies adding food onto Yang Chen’s plate, and a burst of unhappiness entered her heart.\nHer cheap husband, really thought of the company as his flirting spot! Furthermore, he even picked up three at a time!?\nInstead when the others from the management level saw Yang Chen, whom unlike the other workers who were putting in the effort to please, only cared about raking in his meal. They felt displeased, but wasn’t in the right situation to say something, and could only intentionally or unintentionally remember this person by heart, and include him in their blacklist.\nLooking bright and charming, Mo Qianni who was in a light yellow outfit was at a meeting since early in the morning, and hadn’t met Yang Chen yet. Upon seeing this scene, she also felt displeased, suddenly recalling something, a trace of teasing and taunting flashed in her eyes. She stopped by Yang Chen’s side and said, “Yang Chen, be prepared to leave around 3 in the afternoon, you’re coming with me to settle some work outside.” With that said, she walked away without even looking back.\nYang Chen swallowed the mouthful of food, how could he not know? This lady superior who was displeased with him definitely intends to pull some tricks on him, he wanted to evade it by saying he was “very busy,” but seeing Mo Qianni already seriously discussing something with the other management level people, she basically no longer paid any attention to him.\n“I wish you good luck.” Zhao Hongyan beside him winked at Yang Chen.\nYang Chen shrugged his shoulders, indifferently laughed, and continued burying his head into “battle.”"

从四周巨大的落地玻璃窗，可以望到中海市周边的城市景观。 桌椅都是前卫的银白色塑胶与金属混搭，富有浓郁时尚风格。
餐厅的灯饰也显得典雅清新，水晶质感的玻璃挂灯各色各样。 室内的盆栽被稀稀疏疏地摆放在四周角落，娇嫩的绿叶能看出它们有被人精心照料。
在打饭刷卡的柜台处，也采用了酒吧式样的桌台，餐饮服务人员穿着洁白的工作服，笑脸相迎。
杨辰跟着三女进入餐厅的时候，并没引起太多关注，毕竟玉蕾国际虽然男同胞比较少，并非没有，只是公关部特别一些罢了。 再加上总部的员工超过两百，在这一层楼一坐下来，也就不太显眼了。
看到杨辰一副饶有兴致张望的表情，张彩笑道：“怎么样，不错吧，我们公司的福利在全中海也数一数二的。”
“设计地很不错，感觉一进来就有胃口。”
杨辰如实地说。 “餐厅改建可是总裁的亲手设计，总裁上任这两年，公司的业绩和福利都大幅度提高，我们可崇拜她了。” 张彩有几分自豪地说道。
那不是自家那冷冰冰的老婆么？ 杨辰想到这里，再看看四周那整洁利落的装修，深以为然，可不是么，仔细一看这装修完全冷色调。
赵红燕突然转过头说道：“你一提总裁的事，我又想起来了，昨天总裁叫你去她办公室，到底怎么回事？”
“我不说了么，就慰问下新同事。” 杨辰含糊地应付道。
“鬼才信你”，赵红燕娇嗔了声，知道问不出来，换了个问题，“喂，杨辰，你看见我们总裁，感觉怎么样？”
“什么怎么样？” “你火星来的呀，你进我们公司，难道不知道我们的林总号称中海商界第一美女么？” 赵红燕一脸不信。
还有这称号？ 杨辰还真不知道，嘿嘿笑着道：“还行吧，就冷冰冰的，看着心里发毛。”
“总裁本来就该有不一样的气质。” 一直不说话的刘明玉突然插了一句，紧随着张彩和赵红燕也赞同地附和。
杨辰有些意外，没想到林若溪在玉蕾国际的员工心目中，她的冷漠竟是特别的气质，而且似乎对她特别尊敬，看来不论人格魅力也好，管理手段也罢，自家那漂亮老婆确实非凡。
四人打完饭菜坐到一张较大的桌子边，这时杨辰才发现，餐厅靠近东面的一处空间，有用雕花的玻璃窗隔开，形成一处独立的空间，里面的桌子色彩鲜艳，坐的是同样各色的沙发皮椅。
“那里坐着肯定更舒服，怎么没几个人进去？” 杨辰疑惑地问道。
三女看了眼，张彩回答道，“那是公司高层的就餐点，只有副部长级以上才能进去，公司高层的饭菜也是不一样的，有大厨专门烹饪。” “这么大块地方怎么没几个人？”
杨辰觉得有点可惜，“不如我们坐进去，反正那里空着也是浪费。”
赵红燕道：“到了副部长级以上的，哪个不是要经常应酬的人，谁没事天天在公司餐厅吃饭。 不过你也甭想进去了，规定就是规定，我们职员做好自己的本分就是了。”
刘明玉接口道：“其实那也算一种对普通员工的激励政策，有待遇的差别才能激起人的攀比心，有了攀比才上进，我觉得挺有必要的。”
杨辰看了看盘子里的鸡排和花椰菜，做是做得不错，可才两只手的量，有些郁闷地砸吧砸吧嘴，“这菜少，饭也少的，我两三口就吃完，还没我以前饭店里五块钱一盒的快餐来得实在。”
三女面面相觑，无不露出莫名其妙的神色，事实上她们压根不知道菜市场饭店的五块钱快餐是怎么样的，见杨辰一副不够吃的模样，不约而同地用筷子把自己餐盘里的饭菜拨给杨辰。
“我们平时都吃不完，多给你些吧”，赵红燕无奈地笑着，“你以后跟我们吃饭，我们倒可以不浪费食物了。”
就在这时，餐厅门口走进来一行人，很多餐厅内的员工不约而同地站起身来，露出几分紧张的神色，向这些人问好。
“呀，总裁和部长们来了，部长级会议结束了。” 张彩惊呼一声，停下手上的动作，与其他二女一同站起身来。
走在最前面的赫然正是林若溪，高挽着青丝，不施粉黛皎洁若月的脸蛋，那拒人以千里之外，犹如天山女神似的冰冷气质，在一身纯黑色套装的衬托下，显得格外清丽绝伦。
这是个不需要化妆，仅仅一出现就能艳压四方的女人。
与她同时出现的其他几名公司高层应证了这一点，大多都是女性的高管们，也都穿着得体，气质优雅，或是徐娘半老，或是青春靓丽，包括公关部杨辰的上司莫倩妮也在列。 只不过，此刻这些艳光四射的美女，跟在林若溪身后，仿佛是被阳光所遮掩的星月，不再那么耀眼。
只是看了两眼，杨辰就低下了头，他觉得眼下的情况，还是吃饭比较实在。
于是乎，当在场所有人停下手上动作，起身问好时，默默一个人狼吞虎咽啃鸡排的杨辰，陡然间成了个另类。
林若溪走过杨辰身边时，丝毫没有停顿，甚至瞟都没瞟上一眼，仿佛压根不认识杨辰。 事实上，刚刚进门时，她有瞧见与杨辰同桌的三个女人给杨辰拨饭的情景，心里顿时一阵不快。
自己这个便宜老公，还真把公司当泡妞场所了！ 一泡还是三个！
倒是其他某些高管见到杨辰不像其他员工那样卖力讨好，只顾自己一个人扒饭，有些不悦，但也不好说什么，只是有意无意把这个人呢记在心里，上了黑名单。
明艳妩媚，一身淡黄色套装的莫倩妮一大早就开会，还没见到杨辰，此刻见到这一画面，也是心里一阵不爽，突然想起什么，眼里闪过丝捉弄的嘲讽，在杨辰身边顿了顿，说道：“杨辰，今天下午三点里稍微准备一下，跟我出去办点事。” 说完，头也不回地走开了。
杨辰一口将嘴里的饭菜吞下，他哪不知道，这个看自己不爽的女上司肯定又要玩花样，刚想推脱自己“很忙”，却见莫倩妮已经跟其他一个公司高层认真讨论什么东西，压根不再理会自己了。
“祝你好运”，一旁的赵红燕朝杨辰眨眨眼。
杨辰耸了耸肩膀，无所谓地笑了笑，继续埋头“奋战”。

The tables and chairs were all avant-garde silver-white colored mix of metal and plastic, showing a strong fashionable style. The lighting of the dining hall was also elegant and fresh, the hanging lights with glass that had a crystal-like texture came in various colors and types. In the hall, potted plants were sparsely distributed at the four corners, their tender and lovely leaves showed that someone had been showing great care to them.
At the counter for swiping their IDs, the table used was similar to those used in bars. The food and beverage workers wore clean and white work clothing, and welcomed everybody with smiles.
When Yang Chen entered the dining hall with the 3 ladies, not much attention was brought onto them. After all, despite Yu Lei International having comparatively lesser men, that did not mean they didn’t have any, it was only the PR Department which was a little special. On top of that, there were over 200 workers in the headquarters, when all were assembled onto this level, men wouldn’t be so eye-catching.
Seeing Yang Chen’s expression of interest, Zhang Cai laughed and said, “What do you think, it’s not bad right? Our company’s welfare is considered one of the very best in the entire Zhong Hai.”
“The design of this place is great, I felt my appetite rise the moment I entered.” Yang Chen spoke honestly.
“The dining hall’s renovation was personally designed by our CEO. In these 2 years that our CEO has been on the job, the company’s performance and welfare all increased substantially, we’re all her fans.” Said Zhang Cai with a sense of pride.
CEO? Isn’t that my family’s ice-cold wife? When Yang Chen thought of that, then looked at the 4 corners’ clean and neat decorations, he seemed to gain some deep understanding of it.
Zhao Hongyan suddenly turned her head and said, “I suddenly thought of something after she mentioned the CEO, yesterday the CEO called you to her office, what actually happened?”
“Haven’t I said it already? She was just greeting a new colleague.” Yang Chen vaguely replied.
“Who would believe you!” Zhao Hongyan coquettishly protested. She knew she couldn’t get an answer out, so she changed questions, “Hey, Yang Chen, you’ve met our CEO, how does it feel to meet her?”
“Did you come from Mars? You entered our company, how could it be that you don’t know our Boss Lin has a reputation of being the number one beauty in Zhong Hai’s business world?” Zhao Hongyan had a face of disbelief.
There’s such a title? Yang Chen really didn’t know, he laughed then said, “She’s alright I guess, just ice-cold, merely looking at her can induce goosebumps in the heart.”
“It goes without saying that the CEO should have a distinctive temperament.” Liu Mingyu who kept silent suddenly threw in a line, Zhao Hongyan and Zhang Cai both followed with sounds of approval.
Yang Chen was surprised, he didn’t expect that in the hearts of the workers of Yu Lei International, Lin Ruoxi’s coldness was regarded as a distinctive temperament, moreover they seem particularly respectful to her. It seemed like it didn’t matter if it was personal charm or management skills, his family’s beautiful wife was indeed extraordinary in every way.
The 4 people took the dishes they wanted then sat at a comparatively larger table. At this time Yang Chen realized, at the east of the dining hall, there was a space separated by a glass window with flower decorations, forming a private area, the tables inside were brightly colored, and the chairs were similarly colored leather sofas.
“Sitting inside there will definitely be even more comfortable, why hasn’t anybody gone in?” Yang Chen asked puzzlingly.
The 3 ladies took a glance, then Zhang Cai answered, “That is the dining area for the company’s management level, only those who possess positions of vice-head and above may enter, the management level’s food is also different, they have a great chef to specially cook for them.”
“Such a large area but there isn’t a soul?” Yang Chen felt a little pity, “How about we go over there, it will be a waste if it was empty anyways.”
Zhao Hongyan said, “At the vice-head level and above, which of them doesn’t have meetings often? Who will have the free time to eat at the company’s dining hall every day? However, you need not think of going in, rules are rules, little employees like us only need to do our part well.”
Liu Mingyu then said, “Actually, that can also be considered as a motivational policy for normal employees, only with a difference in treatment can one’s competitive spirit be raised. Only with a competitive spirit can one make progress, I think this is necessary.”
Yang Chen looked at his plate’s chicken cutlet and cauliflower, it’s cooked well, but with only the size of two hands, he gloomily frowned, “There’s so little dishes, so little rice, I only need 2 or 3 mouthfuls to finish it, it isn’t even as filling as a 5 dollars meal from a small restaurant.”
The 3 ladies looked at each other in dismay, all of them revealed expressions of being unable to understand. The fact was, they simply didn’t know what a 5 dollars meal from those small restaurants in the markets were like. Seeing Yang Chen’s expression of not having enough to eat, wordlessly, they began moving some of their dishes and rice on their plates to Yang Chen’s with their chopsticks.
“Usually we can’t finish our food, so we’ll let you have some.” Zhao Hongyan helplessly laughed, “In the future if you join us for lunch, we can avoid wasting food.”
Right at this moment, a line of people entered the dining hall, many workers in the dining hall quietly stood up, revealing a somewhat nervous expression, and greeted those people.
“Oh, the CEO and department heads have come, the department heads’ meeting has ended.” Zhang Cai cried out in alarm, stopped whatever she was doing, and stood up like the other ladies.
Standing at the forefront was the impressive Lin Ruoxi, with her hair tied up in a bun, and no cosmetics on her clean, moon-like face. That ice-cold temperament could repel others from a thousand miles away. She was like a heavenly goddess, in a pure black outfit, and seemed especially lucid and elegant beyond compare.
This was a woman who didn’t need any makeup, and only needs to be present to captivate her surroundings.
The other management level people who entered together with her proved this point. The majority of them were ladies, they wore fitting clothes, had graceful temperaments, some were older yet still attractive, while some were youthful and pretty. This included Yang Chen’s superior, the PR Department’s Mo Qianni. However, at that point of time, these glamorous beauties who followed behind Lin Ruoxi were like moons covered by the sun, and weren’t as dazzling as they usually were.
After a short glance or two, Yang Chen lowered his head, he felt that in this situation, it was better for him to just eat.
Therefore, as everybody present stopped eating and stood up to greet, Yang Chen who wolfed down his chicken cutlet, suddenly stood out like a sore thumb.
When Lin Ruoxi walked past Yang Chen, she didn’t stop for the slightest moment, and didn’t even pay a glance, as if she totally didn’t recognize Yang Chen. The fact was, when she just entered, she saw the scene of the 3 ladies adding food onto Yang Chen’s plate, and a burst of unhappiness entered her heart.
Her cheap husband, really thought of the company as his flirting spot! Furthermore, he even picked up three at a time!?
Instead when the others from the management level saw Yang Chen, whom unlike the other workers who were putting in the effort to please, only cared about raking in his meal. They felt displeased, but wasn’t in the right situation to say something, and could only intentionally or unintentionally remember this person by heart, and include him in their blacklist.
Looking bright and charming, Mo Qianni who was in a light yellow outfit was at a meeting since early in the morning, and hadn’t met Yang Chen yet. Upon seeing this scene, she also felt displeased, suddenly recalling something, a trace of teasing and taunting flashed in her eyes. She stopped by Yang Chen’s side and said, “Yang Chen, be prepared to leave around 3 in the afternoon, you’re coming with me to settle some work outside.” With that said, she walked away without even looking back.
Yang Chen swallowed the mouthful of food, how could he not know? This lady superior who was displeased with him definitely intends to pull some tricks on him, he wanted to evade it by saying he was “very busy,” but seeing Mo Qianni already seriously discussing something with the other management level people, she basically no longer paid any attention to him.
“I wish you good luck.” Zhao Hongyan beside him winked at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen shrugged his shoulders, indifferently laughed, and continued burying his head into “battle.”

"from": "gpt",
"value": "Chapter 10 - Invincible Combat Faculty\nThe Great Void Qi Devouring Art had similarities with the Qi Fostering Art, but its principles were very different.\nThe Qi Fostering Art guided the world’s Spirit Qi into the body, but due to invisible orifices in the body, it was impossible to retain the Spirit Qi. However, because of that, one could use the body as a medium to guide the Spirit Qi into the Empty Stone in one’s hand to form Spirit Stones. Through this process, one’s body would subtly strengthen.\nAs for the Great Void Qi Devouring Art, it was akin to forming a black hole in one’s body. It caused the body to possess an extremely powerful suction force that seemed to devour everything. It would crazily absorb the Spirit Qi in the world. Even if one’s body had countless orifices that prevented the retention of Spirit Qi, this suction force far exceeded the speed at which Spirit Qi diffused.\nIt would ultimately result in a constant accumulation of Spirit Qi in one’s body. Simultaneously, due to such intense compaction, there was no need for Empty Stones to condense Spirit Stones in one’s hand!\nAs such, the purity would naturally far exceed what others were capable of. After all, the biggest difficulty a Dharmic Armament master faced in purifying a Spirit Stone was the removal of the impurities the Empty Stones contained.\nSimilar concepts of such a cultivation technique had been suggested in the Federation, but no one had succeeded in doing so. It only existed in one’s imagination, but now… the Great Void Qi Devouring Art right in front of Wang Baole was able to perfectly resolve all the problems.\nIt looks like the suction force increases in intensity through the cultivation of this Great Void Qi Devouring Art, becoming stronger and stronger… Wang Baole left the hallucination realm excitedly. He sat cross-legged in his cave abode, his eyes glimmering with excitement. He could feel that the role of Head Prefect was already waving at him. He seemed to forget everything as he closed his eyes, fully immersing himself in the research and cultivation of the Great Void Qi Devouring Art.\nHe had built up a Qi Fostering Art foundation over the years, so he was no stranger when it came to directing the Spirit Qi. As he calmed his mind, he immediately detected the world around him and its nearly limitless Spirit Qi.\nAlthough the Great Void Qi Devouring Art looked easy, it was still quite difficult to cultivate it in practice. Wang Baole stumbled in the beginning. Several times, he would suck the Spirit Qi but fail to exceed what diffused. However, one of his best qualities was that once he had a goal, he would form an obsession over it. Just like in the hallucination realm test, he had ignored the excruciating pain in order to gain more points.\nAt that moment, the obsession particular to his character erupted. In the following half-month, he stopped attending classes. Even if he had to eat, he would do so in a hurry. He would quickly return to immerse himself in his research and cultivation.\nAt the same time, beside a pond on Chancellor Peak, which stood centered among the various faculty peaks of Lower Academy Island, was a thatched cottage where the old physician was fishing.\nThe gentle wind blew, shaking the drooping willow. The reflection in the pond made it quite a sight.\nBeside the old physician stood the Vice-Chancellor. The black-robed middle-aged man’s forehead was sweating profusely, looking very uneasy. After a long while, he took a deep breath and gave the Chancellor a deep bow. “Chancellor, I was at fault.”\nThe old physician did not seem to hear him. He continued his fishing, and only after some time did the Vice-Chancellor wipe the sweat from his forehead.\nWith greater respect, he whispered, “I was wrong to ignore the fact that Wang Baole’s matter could be used as a positive example, allowing the students to be greater aligned with the Dao College. Instead, I chose another option. I even got a teacher from the Alchemy faculty to expose the cheating incident.”\nWith that said, he realized that the old physician’s expression remained unchanged. Vice-Chancellor sweated even more as he whispered once again.\n“I was even more wrong to covet the Dharmic Armament faculty’s specially-recruited allocation. I acted in my own self-interests and attempted to expel Wang Baole out of the Dao College. I even influenced the other teachers.” Vice-Chancellor wiped his sweat again, feeling wry. He had made a mistake in his judgment. He had previously believed that the Chancellor was displeased with Wang Baole and thought that he could take the opportunity to punish Wang Baole as well as benefit himself.\nHowever, he had never expected Wang Baole to turn the tables eventually. One of the crucial reasons for that was Wang Baole’s speech, but the more important reason was the way the Chancellor viewed the matter.\nOnly then did the old physician look up, giving the Vice-Chancellor an insouciant look.\n“Since you are aware of your faults, take your leave.”\nVice-Chancellor heaved a long sigh of relief. He had been a subordinate to the Chancellor for many years. He knew that, with the Chancellor saying so, it meant that the matter was mostly resolved. He politely bowed before leaving. Only when he walked far did he recall Wang Baole. His eyes flashed with a cold glimmer, but he knew that he could not act for the time being. Furthermore, such a trivial figure was nothing to him even if he had some tricks up his sleeve.\nHowever, little did he know that after he left, an elder appeared silently from beside the old physician. He looked like a servant as he stood behind the old physician with a bent back.\n“Chancellor, brilliant. You managed to put Vice-Chancellor Gao Quan in his place through this matter without so much as a stir. I guess after this incident, he will temporarily hold back greatly. Although he admitted to many of his mistakes, he did not admit his greatest fault. His influence has reached far too wide and deep.\n“In addition, I have investigated the matter. The Dharmic Armament faculty’s Spirit Kernel Hall’s Head Prefect has been manipulating in secret. Similarly, the Vice-Chancellor enjoys a close relationship with this child. The Dharmic Armament faculty’s specially-recruited nomination was also coveted by the Spirit Kernel Hall’s Head Prefect. It seems like it was instigated by his father,” said the elder with a chuckle softly.\n“The father of the Spirit Kernel Head Prefect… As one of the seventeen senators of the Federation, such an influential figure would not engage in such crude tricks. Let the matter rest.” The old physician smiled as a derisive look appeared deep in his eyes.\n“I would have thought highly of him if he had associated himself with a senator, but to associate himself with this child, this Gao Quan is ultimately one who lacks brains.”\n“Chancellor, toward such a double-minded wretch, should we not…” The elder hesitated for a moment.\n“It’s still not time.” The old physician’s eyes had a profound look in them. A figure who he had gone to great lengths to establish as one to attract hatred was of great value. Others would hardly understand his decisions.\nThere will always be someone who can’t resist the temptation to touch Gao Quan. Regardless, anyone who touches him will have to go through me.\nThe old physician chuckled as he thought inwardly.\nTime passed. Wang Baole had spent three months cultivating.\nIn those three months, Wang Baole’s infrequent appearance had made talk about him in the Dharmic Armament faculty wane. In addition, the demanding education curriculum slowly made fewer people pay him any attention.\nAs the saying goes, everything comes to those who wait. Three months later, Wang Baole’s body barely formed a black hole devouring seed.\nAs he sensed the suction forces released by his body, Wang Baole wiped his sweat in excitement. He felt that he was again one step closer to success. He hurriedly cultivated once more.\nAfter he possessed the devouring seed, the Spirit Qi in the cave abode immediately resembled flowing water. The Spirit Qi slowly had its trajectory change as it surged toward Wang Baole. This was not only limited to the Spirit Qi inside the cave abode. Even the Spirit Qi outside did the same.\nEventually, almost all the Spirit Qi in the region he was in seemed to be stirred. An invisible vortex was formed, and the center of the vortex was the black hole devouring seed… in Wang Baole’s body.\nLarge amounts of Spirit Qi were sucked in, finally exceeding the amount that his body naturally diffused. It caused his Spirit Qi to condense and accumulate. When it entered his body, it brought an indescribable sense of comfort to him as though countless tiny hands were massaging his entire body. Thankfully, despite immersing himself in the comfort, Wang Baole still knew what he needed to do. He gradually lifted his right hand and used the Great Void Qi Devouring Art to condense a Spirit Stone.\nBut at this point, another difficulty of the Great Void Qi Devouring Art revealed itself. The thick Spirit Qi could condense, but it would also fail if he were not careful.\nAnd once he failed, the massive amount of Spirit Qi that had condensed would spread out and quickly be sucked back into Wang Baole’s body, accumulating once more.\nI refuse to believe it!\nWang Baole nearly lost his mind. With success close as hand, it made him more adamant. He bought large amounts of food in one go, most of which were snacks. He did not leave his cave abode as though he was in seclusion. He did everything at home, fully engrossing himself in cultivation.\nGradually, his rotund body became even rounder without him realizing it… His fat thickened… especially the fat that was filled with a luster. Although it was not crystalline, the fat appeared extremely fine and glossy.\nHis body was definitely far from ordinary. It was spirit fat formed through the accumulation of Spirit Qi. After all, fat was the conversion of excess energy in the body. And now, the Spirit Qi in Wang Baole’s body far exceeded the average person’s. As he was constantly devouring Spirit Qi and failing at refining the Spirit Stones, he could not help gaining more and more fat.\nThankfully, the specially-recruited student robes he wore were made of a special material that was very flexible. Up to this point, he had not burst his clothes. As for Wang Baole, his face’s shape had changed, and his body gleaned with an oily luster, his eyes turning smaller and smaller. Unknowingly, this continued for a month. Midway, Wang Baole also realized the gain in weight, but having engrossed himself in the refinement of Spirit Stones, he directly ignored it.\n“I succeeded! Haha, I finally succeeded!”\n“It no longer has a purity of fifty percent but seventy-five percent!”\nWang Baole was extremely excited. All his years in Phoenix City, he had only been able to refine Spirit Stones that were slightly better than fifty percent purity. But now, he could refine ones that were at seventy-five percent. After all, the cut-off score of the best Dao College in the Federation, White Deer Dao College, was seventy percent and above.\nHe became short of breath as his eyes widened suddenly.\n“This… This…” Wang Baole cried out. No longer over-absorbed with the Spirit Stone refinement, he immediately realized his present state. He was in big trouble. Heavens, I only let my guard down a little and… how did this happen?\nWang Baole trembled as his family genealogical table surfaced instantly in his mind. He was immediately gripped by terror as he hurriedly extended his thick fingers, counting while being too worried for tears.\nBut after counting all day, he realized that regardless of how he counted, according to the ages of the Fatso Forefathers at their times of death, he… did not seem to have much longer to live. This left him close to tears.\nI haven’t become Head Prefect or the Federation President. I really do not want to reunite with Fatso Forefathers!\nIn Wang Baole’s horror, his mind was filled with thoughts of losing weight. However, he had done so several times with all of them being nearly ineffective. It drove him nuts.\nExercise! I want to exercise! I want to run. There might be still some hope with the fat having just appeared!\nWang Baole gritted his teeth. The first thing he thought of was running; therefore, he rushed out of his cave abode’s door.\nDespite having grown fatter, it was still not irredeemable yet. He was still able to exit the door. The moment he walked out, sun scattered on his exaggerated red Daoist robe. Wang Baole immediately felt anguished when he saw his massive shadow. With a loud roar, he used all his strength and ran frenetically on Dharmic Armament Peak.\nAs he ran disconsolately, Wang Baole noticed something different about himself. He did not seem to tire out, and the rich Spirit Qi in him provided for all his energy expenditure. It allowed him to run rapidly, making him find Dharmic Armament Peak too small. He knew too many people there as well, so he quickly ran down the peak and began running around Lower Academy Island.\nThat day, many Dharmic Armament faculty students saw a red ball brush past them.

第十章
太虚噬气诀，与养气诀有相似之处，可原理却有很大不同。
养气诀是将天地间的灵气引导进入体内，可因身体有看不见的空窍，所以无法留住灵气，但也因此，能以身体为媒介，将灵气引入手中的空白石内，从而形成灵石，且自身在这个过程中，潜移默化增强体质。
而太虚噬气诀就仿佛在体内形成一个黑洞，使得全身上下无不充满了强烈到极致的吸力，就好似吞噬一般，将天地间的灵气疯狂的吸噬来，哪怕常人身体有无数空窍，留不住灵气，但在这吸力下，超越了散的速度。
最终就使得灵气在身体内不断地积累，同时也正是因这种高度的凝聚，所以不需要空白灵石，就可在手中凝聚出……灵石！
如此一来，在纯度上自然就远超旁人，毕竟摆在法兵师面前对于灵石纯度最大的难点，就是如何祛除空白灵石本身蕴含的杂质。
这种功法，在如今的联邦有人提出过类似的概念，可却无人能做到，只存在于想象中，但如今……在王宝乐的面前，这一篇太虚噬气诀，完美的解决了一切。
“看来修炼这太虚噬气诀，吸噬之力会从小到大，越来越强……”王宝乐激动中离开了梦境，盘膝坐在洞府内，双眼冒光，只感觉学首已经在向自己招手，越发的兴奋，浑然忘记了一切事情，闭上眼，全身心的沉浸在对太虚噬气诀的研究与修炼上。
他有好几年的养气诀底子在，对于引导灵气不陌生，此刻随着静心，立刻就感应到了四周天地内，近乎无限的磅礴灵气。
只是这太虚噬气诀看似简单，可在实际修炼上，还是有不少难点，王宝乐一开始磕磕绊绊，很多时候灵气被吸来，但却比不过消散的速度，可他的性格是一旦有了目标，就可形成执念，就如同在那梦境考核里，他可以不顾剧痛去拼命加分一样。
此刻的王宝乐，再次爆发了他性格中的执着，在之后的半个月内，他没有再去上课，就算是吃饭也都是匆匆而去，飞速归来后又陷入研究与修行中。
与此同时，下院岛众系山峰之中的掌院峰中，此刻山顶有一处池塘，池塘边一间茅屋外，老医师正坐在那里垂钓。
柔和的风吹来，将四周的垂柳摇晃，倒映在池塘里，别有一番意境。
唯独在老医师旁，站着的副掌院，那位黑衣中年，此刻额头冒汗，很是局促不安，直至许久，他深吸口气，向着掌院抱拳深深一拜。
老医师好似没有听到，依旧垂钓，直至过了半晌，副掌院擦了擦额头的汗水，态度更为恭敬，再次低声开口。
“属下错在明知王宝乐事件可以作为一个正面的典型与榜样，使得学子对道院更有向心力，可却偏偏选择了另一条道路，甚至指使丹道系的老师去点出作弊之事。”
随着他说完，发现老医师神色依旧没有什么变化，副掌院的汗水更多，再次低声说话。
“属下更错在不该贪图法兵系的特招名额，从而动了私心，试图将王宝乐驱出道院……甚至引导了其他老师的心态……”副掌院再次擦了擦汗水，心底苦涩，实在是他判断错误，之前以为是掌院不满王宝乐，这才借助这个机会，一方面出手惩治，一方面为自己谋取利益。
可没想到，最后王宝乐竟能翻盘，而这一切的重点，他明白一方面是王宝乐的言辞，更重要的，是掌院的态度。
直至此刻，老医师才抬起头，淡淡的看了副掌院一眼。
“既然知道错了，那就下去吧。”
副掌院长松口气，他跟随掌院多年，知道对方能这么开口，就代表这件事已经算是化解了一半，此刻恭敬的一拜，这才离去，直至走远，他想起了王宝乐，目中露出一抹阴冷，可也知道短时间不能动手，且这种小人物，哪怕有点手段，但他也没有放在眼里。
只是他不知道的，是在他离开后，老医师的身边，无声无息间，出现了一个老者，这老者好似仆从一般，佝偻着身子，站在老医师身后。
“掌院高明，借此事不动声色间，敲打了一下副掌院高全，想来这一次，他能收敛很多，不过他认错了好多，可终究最错的一点没有承认，那就是手伸的太长了。”
“另外属下也查清楚了，这一次事件，是法兵系的灵坯学堂学首，暗中操控舆论，同时副掌院那里，与此子接触较深，法兵系的特招名额，也是那灵坯堂学首索要，似乎背后还有其父的引导。”
老者低声笑道。 “灵坯学首的父亲么……堂堂联邦十七议员之一的大人物，不会用这么粗糙的手段，这件事，到此为止吧。” 老医师笑了笑，目中深处露出一抹讥讽。
“他若攀上了议员，我倒也能高看他一眼，可攀上其子，这高全，终究是没有脑子。”
“掌院，这种三心二意的小人，何不……”老医师身边的老者迟疑了一下。
“还不到时候……”老医师目中带着深邃，这种被他好不容易树立出来的吸引仇恨的人物，价值之大，外人是不会了解的。
“以后总有人会忍不住去动这高全，而无论如何，动他，都要来我这里进行一些交换。”
老医师笑了笑，心底低语。
时间流逝，在王宝乐的修炼中，三个月过去。
三个月里，因王宝乐的深入简出，使得法兵系对他这里的议论也都淡了太多，又因学业的繁重，渐渐大家也都不再关注。
总算功夫不负有心人，终于在三个月后的这一天，王宝乐的体内，勉强的形成了一个他能感受到的黑洞噬种。
感受着体内散出的吸力，王宝乐振奋的擦了擦汗水，只觉得自己距离成功又近了一步，赶紧再次修炼。
有了噬种后，洞府内的灵气顿时就好似流水一般，缓缓地被改动方向，直奔王宝乐而去，渐渐地，不仅仅是洞府内，就连洞府外的灵气也都如此。
到了最后，他所在的区域，灵气好似被撼动一般，形成了一个看不到的漩涡，而在这漩涡的中心，正是王宝乐体内的……黑洞噬种。
大量的灵气被吸噬来，终于超越了他身体自然的流散，使得灵气开始了凝聚与积累，进而带来一种难以形容的舒服感，好似全身上下有无数小手正在按摩一般，好在王宝乐虽沉浸，可还是知道自己要做什么，渐渐抬起右手，利用太虚噬气诀的功法，去凝聚灵石。
只是到了这里，太虚噬气诀的另一个难点出现了，浓郁灵气虽可以凝聚在一起，可这里面稍微一个不留意，就会失败。
而一旦失败，大量被凝聚在一起的灵气，就会扩散开来，又被飞速的吸入王宝乐体内，再次积累。
“我就不信了！”
王宝乐有些疯狂，那种眼看着就可以成功的期待，使得他更为执着，直接一次性的就买了大量的食物，其中零食居多，如同闭关一般不离开洞府，吃喝拉撒都在家中解决，彻底沉浸在修炼里。
渐渐地，他自己都没发现，他原本就圆圆的身体，更加的圆了……肉越来越厚……尤其惊人的是他身上的肉满是光泽，虽说不上晶莹剔透，可也细润无比。
现在他的这身肉绝非寻常，而是灵气积累导致，从而形成的灵脂，毕竟脂肪本就是身体多余能量的转化，而如今王宝乐体内的灵气早已超越常人，又在这不断地吸噬与炼灵石的失败下，不由得越来越多。
就这样，不知不觉的，又过去了一个月，途中王宝乐虽也发现了自己的体重，可一门心思在炼灵石里的他，直接就将其忽略了，终于……在这一天，王宝乐激动看着手心内出现了一枚菱形灵石，在测试了其纯度后，仰天大笑。
“成功了，哈哈，我终于成功了！”
“不是五成纯度，而是七成半！
王宝乐非常激动振奋无比，实在是他之前在凤凰城多年来，也只能炼制出纯度在五成多一点的灵石，可如今竟炼出七成半，要知道联邦第一道院白鹿道院的报考标准，也只是七成以上的灵石而已。
他的呼吸慢慢急促，他的眼睛猛地睁大。
“这……这……”王宝乐哀嚎一声，没有了沉浸在炼灵石中的执着，他立刻就意识到了此刻的自己，麻烦大了。
王宝乐哆嗦了，他的脑海瞬间就浮现出自己看过的族谱，顿时就紧张恐惧，赶紧伸出粗大的手指，欲哭无泪的算了起来。
可算了半天，他发现自己无论怎么算，按照族谱内那些胖爷爷去世的年纪，自己这里……似乎都是活不了太久的样子，这就让他真的流泪了。
“我还没当上学首，我还没当上联邦总统，我不想和胖爷爷们团聚啊。”
王宝乐恐惧之下，满脑子都是想要减肥的念头，可这减肥之事他曾经做过好多，效果几乎没有，这就让他抓狂了。
“运动，我要运动，我要跑步，趁着这些肉刚刚出现，或许还能有救！
王宝乐狠狠咬牙，他此刻能首先想到的，就是跑步了，于是赶紧走到洞府大门处。
好在他虽胖了一圈，可还不是无药可救，能从大门出去，刚一走出，阳光洒落在他那夸张的红色道袍上，看着自己那庞大的影子，王宝乐顿时就悲愤了，大吼一声，用出了好似吃奶般的力气，疯狂的在法兵峰上狂奔。
在这悲催的狂跑下，王宝乐也发现了自己的一些不同，似乎他不会累，体内有浓郁的灵气支撑一切消耗……使得他速度飞快，仿佛觉得法兵峰太小，认识自己的又太多，很快的王宝乐就直奔峰下，开始绕着下院岛奔跑而去。
这一天，很多法兵系的学子都看到了一个红色的球，从自己身边掠过，一个个都愣了一下，传出惊呼，但那红球速度太快，尤其是遮着脸，他们也看不清具体样子，于是在灵网上，出现了不少传闻与议论。
“我也看到了！”
“有点眼熟，好像是……特招学子的道袍？”
在法兵系的讨论中，此刻在下院岛的湖边，正有一群战武系的学子，一样在跑步，人群中有战武系的特招卓一凡，更有陈子恒等人，他们的身边，更是跟着一个中年男子，此人是战武系的老师，正一脸肃然的带着众学子奔跑。
相较于其他系的学子，战武系更像是军人，这是因为战武系讲究钻研一切古武，若论实战，更是众系之首，其内的学子任何一个，都必须身体强壮，所以有一个基础的锻炼项目，叫做环岛跑。
其目的是为了让新生尽快提高身体素质，从而顺利进入气血境，此刻虽开学半年，可战武系的环岛跑，依旧还时而进行。
“都跑快点，你们没吃饭么！” 战武系的老师，瞪了一眼身边的学子，大喝道。
虽口中这么说，可看着这些孩子们一个个都精力充沛，生龙活虎的样子，他还是很满意的，尤其是卓一凡与陈子恒，虽已经过了环岛跑的境界，可都顺从的跟随，这就更让他觉得孺子可教。
“你们要记得，我战武系，不屑炼器，不屑炼丹，我们要的就是自己的身体，要的就是肉身极致，管他是法宝还是毒丹，他们都是弱鸡，我战武系，一拳镇压！”
“我们拳脚刚猛最强！”
“我们跑步速度最快！”
“我们肉身无敌！
！” 今天是我农历的生日，求推荐票！

Chapter 10 - Invincible Combat Faculty
The Great Void Qi Devouring Art had similarities with the Qi Fostering Art, but its principles were very different.
The Qi Fostering Art guided the world’s Spirit Qi into the body, but due to invisible orifices in the body, it was impossible to retain the Spirit Qi. However, because of that, one could use the body as a medium to guide the Spirit Qi into the Empty Stone in one’s hand to form Spirit Stones. Through this process, one’s body would subtly strengthen.
As for the Great Void Qi Devouring Art, it was akin to forming a black hole in one’s body. It caused the body to possess an extremely powerful suction force that seemed to devour everything. It would crazily absorb the Spirit Qi in the world. Even if one’s body had countless orifices that prevented the retention of Spirit Qi, this suction force far exceeded the speed at which Spirit Qi diffused.
It would ultimately result in a constant accumulation of Spirit Qi in one’s body. Simultaneously, due to such intense compaction, there was no need for Empty Stones to condense Spirit Stones in one’s hand!
As such, the purity would naturally far exceed what others were capable of. After all, the biggest difficulty a Dharmic Armament master faced in purifying a Spirit Stone was the removal of the impurities the Empty Stones contained.
Similar concepts of such a cultivation technique had been suggested in the Federation, but no one had succeeded in doing so. It only existed in one’s imagination, but now… the Great Void Qi Devouring Art right in front of Wang Baole was able to perfectly resolve all the problems.
It looks like the suction force increases in intensity through the cultivation of this Great Void Qi Devouring Art, becoming stronger and stronger… Wang Baole left the hallucination realm excitedly. He sat cross-legged in his cave abode, his eyes glimmering with excitement. He could feel that the role of Head Prefect was already waving at him. He seemed to forget everything as he closed his eyes, fully immersing himself in the research and cultivation of the Great Void Qi Devouring Art.
He had built up a Qi Fostering Art foundation over the years, so he was no stranger when it came to directing the Spirit Qi. As he calmed his mind, he immediately detected the world around him and its nearly limitless Spirit Qi.
Although the Great Void Qi Devouring Art looked easy, it was still quite difficult to cultivate it in practice. Wang Baole stumbled in the beginning. Several times, he would suck the Spirit Qi but fail to exceed what diffused. However, one of his best qualities was that once he had a goal, he would form an obsession over it. Just like in the hallucination realm test, he had ignored the excruciating pain in order to gain more points.
At that moment, the obsession particular to his character erupted. In the following half-month, he stopped attending classes. Even if he had to eat, he would do so in a hurry. He would quickly return to immerse himself in his research and cultivation.
At the same time, beside a pond on Chancellor Peak, which stood centered among the various faculty peaks of Lower Academy Island, was a thatched cottage where the old physician was fishing.
The gentle wind blew, shaking the drooping willow. The reflection in the pond made it quite a sight.
Beside the old physician stood the Vice-Chancellor. The black-robed middle-aged man’s forehead was sweating profusely, looking very uneasy. After a long while, he took a deep breath and gave the Chancellor a deep bow. “Chancellor, I was at fault.”
The old physician did not seem to hear him. He continued his fishing, and only after some time did the Vice-Chancellor wipe the sweat from his forehead.
With greater respect, he whispered, “I was wrong to ignore the fact that Wang Baole’s matter could be used as a positive example, allowing the students to be greater aligned with the Dao College. Instead, I chose another option. I even got a teacher from the Alchemy faculty to expose the cheating incident.”
With that said, he realized that the old physician’s expression remained unchanged. Vice-Chancellor sweated even more as he whispered once again.
“I was even more wrong to covet the Dharmic Armament faculty’s specially-recruited allocation. I acted in my own self-interests and attempted to expel Wang Baole out of the Dao College. I even influenced the other teachers.” Vice-Chancellor wiped his sweat again, feeling wry. He had made a mistake in his judgment. He had previously believed that the Chancellor was displeased with Wang Baole and thought that he could take the opportunity to punish Wang Baole as well as benefit himself.
However, he had never expected Wang Baole to turn the tables eventually. One of the crucial reasons for that was Wang Baole’s speech, but the more important reason was the way the Chancellor viewed the matter.
Only then did the old physician look up, giving the Vice-Chancellor an insouciant look.
“Since you are aware of your faults, take your leave.”
Vice-Chancellor heaved a long sigh of relief. He had been a subordinate to the Chancellor for many years. He knew that, with the Chancellor saying so, it meant that the matter was mostly resolved. He politely bowed before leaving. Only when he walked far did he recall Wang Baole. His eyes flashed with a cold glimmer, but he knew that he could not act for the time being. Furthermore, such a trivial figure was nothing to him even if he had some tricks up his sleeve.
However, little did he know that after he left, an elder appeared silently from beside the old physician. He looked like a servant as he stood behind the old physician with a bent back.
“Chancellor, brilliant. You managed to put Vice-Chancellor Gao Quan in his place through this matter without so much as a stir. I guess after this incident, he will temporarily hold back greatly. Although he admitted to many of his mistakes, he did not admit his greatest fault. His influence has reached far too wide and deep.
“In addition, I have investigated the matter. The Dharmic Armament faculty’s Spirit Kernel Hall’s Head Prefect has been manipulating in secret. Similarly, the Vice-Chancellor enjoys a close relationship with this child. The Dharmic Armament faculty’s specially-recruited nomination was also coveted by the Spirit Kernel Hall’s Head Prefect. It seems like it was instigated by his father,” said the elder with a chuckle softly.
“The father of the Spirit Kernel Head Prefect… As one of the seventeen senators of the Federation, such an influential figure would not engage in such crude tricks. Let the matter rest.” The old physician smiled as a derisive look appeared deep in his eyes.
“I would have thought highly of him if he had associated himself with a senator, but to associate himself with this child, this Gao Quan is ultimately one who lacks brains.”
“Chancellor, toward such a double-minded wretch, should we not…” The elder hesitated for a moment.
“It’s still not time.” The old physician’s eyes had a profound look in them. A figure who he had gone to great lengths to establish as one to attract hatred was of great value. Others would hardly understand his decisions.
There will always be someone who can’t resist the temptation to touch Gao Quan. Regardless, anyone who touches him will have to go through me.
The old physician chuckled as he thought inwardly.
Time passed. Wang Baole had spent three months cultivating.
In those three months, Wang Baole’s infrequent appearance had made talk about him in the Dharmic Armament faculty wane. In addition, the demanding education curriculum slowly made fewer people pay him any attention.
As the saying goes, everything comes to those who wait. Three months later, Wang Baole’s body barely formed a black hole devouring seed.
As he sensed the suction forces released by his body, Wang Baole wiped his sweat in excitement. He felt that he was again one step closer to success. He hurriedly cultivated once more.
After he possessed the devouring seed, the Spirit Qi in the cave abode immediately resembled flowing water. The Spirit Qi slowly had its trajectory change as it surged toward Wang Baole. This was not only limited to the Spirit Qi inside the cave abode. Even the Spirit Qi outside did the same.
Eventually, almost all the Spirit Qi in the region he was in seemed to be stirred. An invisible vortex was formed, and the center of the vortex was the black hole devouring seed… in Wang Baole’s body.
Large amounts of Spirit Qi were sucked in, finally exceeding the amount that his body naturally diffused. It caused his Spirit Qi to condense and accumulate. When it entered his body, it brought an indescribable sense of comfort to him as though countless tiny hands were massaging his entire body. Thankfully, despite immersing himself in the comfort, Wang Baole still knew what he needed to do. He gradually lifted his right hand and used the Great Void Qi Devouring Art to condense a Spirit Stone.
But at this point, another difficulty of the Great Void Qi Devouring Art revealed itself. The thick Spirit Qi could condense, but it would also fail if he were not careful.
And once he failed, the massive amount of Spirit Qi that had condensed would spread out and quickly be sucked back into Wang Baole’s body, accumulating once more.
I refuse to believe it!
Wang Baole nearly lost his mind. With success close as hand, it made him more adamant. He bought large amounts of food in one go, most of which were snacks. He did not leave his cave abode as though he was in seclusion. He did everything at home, fully engrossing himself in cultivation.
Gradually, his rotund body became even rounder without him realizing it… His fat thickened… especially the fat that was filled with a luster. Although it was not crystalline, the fat appeared extremely fine and glossy.
His body was definitely far from ordinary. It was spirit fat formed through the accumulation of Spirit Qi. After all, fat was the conversion of excess energy in the body. And now, the Spirit Qi in Wang Baole’s body far exceeded the average person’s. As he was constantly devouring Spirit Qi and failing at refining the Spirit Stones, he could not help gaining more and more fat.
Thankfully, the specially-recruited student robes he wore were made of a special material that was very flexible. Up to this point, he had not burst his clothes. As for Wang Baole, his face’s shape had changed, and his body gleaned with an oily luster, his eyes turning smaller and smaller. Unknowingly, this continued for a month. Midway, Wang Baole also realized the gain in weight, but having engrossed himself in the refinement of Spirit Stones, he directly ignored it.
“I succeeded! Haha, I finally succeeded!”
“It no longer has a purity of fifty percent but seventy-five percent!”
Wang Baole was extremely excited. All his years in Phoenix City, he had only been able to refine Spirit Stones that were slightly better than fifty percent purity. But now, he could refine ones that were at seventy-five percent. After all, the cut-off score of the best Dao College in the Federation, White Deer Dao College, was seventy percent and above.
He became short of breath as his eyes widened suddenly.
“This… This…” Wang Baole cried out. No longer over-absorbed with the Spirit Stone refinement, he immediately realized his present state. He was in big trouble. Heavens, I only let my guard down a little and… how did this happen?
Wang Baole trembled as his family genealogical table surfaced instantly in his mind. He was immediately gripped by terror as he hurriedly extended his thick fingers, counting while being too worried for tears.
But after counting all day, he realized that regardless of how he counted, according to the ages of the Fatso Forefathers at their times of death, he… did not seem to have much longer to live. This left him close to tears.
I haven’t become Head Prefect or the Federation President. I really do not want to reunite with Fatso Forefathers!
In Wang Baole’s horror, his mind was filled with thoughts of losing weight. However, he had done so several times with all of them being nearly ineffective. It drove him nuts.
Exercise! I want to exercise! I want to run. There might be still some hope with the fat having just appeared!
Wang Baole gritted his teeth. The first thing he thought of was running; therefore, he rushed out of his cave abode’s door.
Despite having grown fatter, it was still not irredeemable yet. He was still able to exit the door. The moment he walked out, sun scattered on his exaggerated red Daoist robe. Wang Baole immediately felt anguished when he saw his massive shadow. With a loud roar, he used all his strength and ran frenetically on Dharmic Armament Peak.
As he ran disconsolately, Wang Baole noticed something different about himself. He did not seem to tire out, and the rich Spirit Qi in him provided for all his energy expenditure. It allowed him to run rapidly, making him find Dharmic Armament Peak too small. He knew too many people there as well, so he quickly ran down the peak and began running around Lower Academy Island.
That day, many Dharmic Armament faculty students saw a red ball brush past them. All of them were stunned, some exclaiming in surprise, but because the red ball ran too fast, especially with its face hidden, they could not identify it. Therefore, there were quite a lot of rumors and discussion on the Spirit Intranet. “I saw a ball today…”
“I saw it too!”
“It looks a little familiar. It resembles… the Daoist robes of a specially-recruited student?”
While the Dharmic Armament faculty engaged in discussion, there was a group of Combat faculty students running along the lake in Lower Academy Island. Among them was the specially-recruited Zhuo Yifan, as well as people like Chen Ziheng. A middle-aged man followed them, a teacher of the Combat faculty. He was leading the students in a run with a solemn expression.
Compared to the students in the other faculties, the Combat faculty was more akin to soldiers. This was because the Combat faculty focused on everything related to ancient martial arts. They stood atop all the faculties when it came to actual combat. It was required for every student from the faculty to have a strong physical body. Therefore, one of the basic classes was training that involved running around the island.
The goal was to quickly enhance the freshmen’s physical fitness, allowing them to successfully enter the Blood Qi realm. Although only half a year had passed since school began, the Combat faculty continued having the island-circling class.
“Faster! Did you even eat!” the Combat faculty teacher yelled as he stared at the students beside him.
Although he was verbally putting them down, he was still very pleased when he saw them brimming with energy and vigor—especially Zhuo Yifan and Chen Ziheng. Although they could already circle the entire island, they obediently joined in the run. It pleased him greatly having such good students.
“You have to remember! My Combat faculty disdains the refinement of artifacts and pills. What we want are our bodies! What we want is to push the body to its limits. Be it a Dharma treasure or a toxic pill, they are all crap. We, the Combat faculty, can crush them with a fist!”
“Our punches and kicks are the strongest!”
“Our running speed is the fastest!”
“We are physically invincible!”
The middle-aged man was very pleased seeing the youths’ spirit. Just as he was about to add on, a red meatball rolled past his body from behind.

78.第78章
丹武学院杂事处分内院、中院和外院三层。
外院是学院领取工作的场所，中院是杂事处的管事们办理事务的地方，而内院则是几个重要人物处理事务的场所。
林天成此时正在内院给管事们安排事务。
“刚才我的吩咐的事情，你们抓紧去办！ 新入院的学员一定要加强管理，让他们服服帖帖的，有闹事的直接给我摁下去，不用客气！”
林天成对一群人发号施令，很有些上位者的风范。
“是，林师兄，我们这就去办！” 说完，几人转身欲退。
一阵激烈地敲门声响起。
“林师兄，大事不好了！
大事不好了！” 门外一名学员吵吵嚷嚷起来，惹得林天成一阵皱眉。
林天成向来规矩严厉，下面的人进来没人敢大呼小叫，今天居然有人往枪口上撞！
“哗啦！”
门被一名管事学员拉开，怒斥道：“大呼小叫干什么？ 不知道林师兄正在忙吗？
那学员理也不理他，直接绕过他对着林天成哭丧着脸道：“林师兄，大事不好了！ 那个叫叶远的，现在正在外面大闹杂事处，胡师兄上去阻止他，被他一巴掌就拍飞了！
林天成听到叶远的名字，顿时面色一沉。
看样子他是知道绿儿被张恒欺负的事情，怒火攻心才会做出大闹杂事处的举动来。
一个元气四重而已，竟然把你们吓成这样？ 那个胡铁也是个废物，竟然被一个元气四重一巴掌拍飞。”
“林师兄，叶远他……他……不止元气四重。”
“嗯？ 不止元气四重？
“也……也不是元气五重。” 那学员头摇得跟拨浪鼓一样。
叶远到底是什么实力了？ 他总不会闭关几天，就到元气六重了吧？”
这回，那学员的脑袋跟小鸡啄米一样点个不停：“是……是的！ 叶远已经是元气六重了！”
“什么？”
包括林天成在内，屋内所有的管事都是大吃一惊。
他们当然知道叶远是什么实力，差不多十天之前，叶远刚刚让林天成大跌面子，当时他还是元气四重。
这仅仅过了十天左右的时间，叶远竟然已经元气六重了？
元气一重到三重是跳着来的，元气四重到六重也能跳着来？
这个世界到底发生什么事情了？
关键是，叶远不但境界提升极快，而且实力也是突飞猛进。
没听刚才那小子说吗，他一巴掌就把胡铁给拍飞了！ 胡铁可是元气八重，竟然如此不经打，那岂不是说叶远起码拥有元气九重的实力？
震惊过后，林天成的脸色变得阴沉起来。
他没有想到，叶远竟然这么快就有了威胁他的实力。 如此看来，张恒此时怕是凶多吉少了。
你们是不是丹武学院的弟子？ 你出去告诉他们，给我一起上！ 连一个元气六重都制不住，杂事处还要他们干什么？”
林天成倒不是真的怕了叶远，但是能用外面那些人消耗叶远的战斗力，何乐而不为呢？ “你们想好了？
冤有头债有主，我只找林天成一人，你们确定要当替死鬼？”
叶远往前迈出一步，杂事处学员们被他的气势所摄，竟然集体退了一步。
叶远再次往前迈出一步，众人再次退后。
一名元气六重，竟然将一堆元气七八重的学员逼退！
这要是传出去，杂事处也没有存在的必要了。
就在这时，刚才那名给林天成报信的学员赶了回来：“林师兄说了，一起上，把他拿下再说！ 一个元气六重而已，你们都收拾不了，要你们何用？
此言一出，众人纷纷变色。
林天成向来说到做到，他真的会把这些人换掉的！
这些地级学员大多是没有希望进阶天级，于是在这里谋份差事，捞点好处。
如果不在这里做，他们自己就可能沦为苦力了。
这显然是他们不想看到的结果！
“好！ 我就不信了，一个元气六重而已，我们这么多人还收拾不了你？”
“大家一起上！”
众人卯足了劲，把叶远团团围在中间。
叶远并没有阻止，任他们把自己包围起来。
终于，这些人忍不住向叶远出手了！
前面一个元气八重的学员一剑刺向叶远，叶远伸指一弹，长剑立即脱手飞出。
又是一巴掌，那名元气八重就飞了出去。
同一时间，背后也是一掌袭来，叶远背后像是长了眼睛，微微侧身就躲了过去，然后胳膊向后一捣，那人也飞了出去。
一时间，四面八方全是攻击，但是没有一个人能真正对叶远产生威胁。
不但没有威胁，叶远还一边打一边前进，眼看着就要突破外院。
只见到围着叶远的那群人中，不断有人飞出来，重重摔倒在地上。
眨眼间，叶远就突破了这些人的防线，通过了外院。
这些人大多是元气七重、元气八重，对现在的叶远来说，根本就没有丝毫威胁。 掌风到处，就是哀嚎一片。
外院躺了一地的人，惨叫声连成一片。
叶远也不停留，挑起一把剑握在手中，就这样一直往里面走。
进到中院，又是一群人围了上来，这些人基本上都是杂事处的管事，每一个人都和张衡一样，是元气九重的存在！
元气九重是元气境的巅峰存在，代表着元气境的极致，实力也比元气八重强悍了太多。
一个人叶远还不放在眼里，但是这一下就七八个人，放在哪里都是一股不小的势力了。
叶远看着他们，冷笑道：“你们还真是忠犬啊，林天成指哪你们就打哪！ 我还是那句话，冤有头债有主，我只杀林天成一人！

Chapter 78: Despicable Lin Tiancheng
The Dan Wu Academy's General Affairs Department was segmented into the inner court, middle court, and outer court.
The outer court was where students received jobs. The middle court was where the student managers of the General Affairs Department managed work. The inner court was where important figures dealt with businesses.
Presently, Lin Tiancheng was in the inner court assigning tasks to the student managers.
"All of you, quickly handle the matters that I just instructed! Supervision of newly admitted students has to be reinforced. Make them obey submissively. If anyone causes trouble, then just directly suppress them. There's no need to be polite!"
Lin Tiancheng was issuing orders to a bunch of people with the air of someone of the upper echelon.
"Yes, Senior Apprentice Brother Lin. We will do it right away!" Finishing, several people turned around and left.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A frantic knocking was heard.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Lin, something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!" Outside the door, a student kicked up a racket, making Lin Tiancheng frown.
Lin Tiancheng had always been very strict with the rules. People at the lower levels had never dared to cause such a ruckus when entering. Today, there was actually someone who collided head-on with the tip of the spear!
Creak!
The door was opened by a student manager who reprimanded angrily. "What's the commotion about? Don't you know that Senior Apprentice Brother Lin is busy? Is your skin itching for a whipping?"
That student ignored him and just went around him, crying to Lin Tiancheng, "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin, something bad has happened! That Ye Yuan is currently causing a commotion outside the department. Senior Apprentice Brother Hu went up to stop him, but was sent flying with a slap! He even said . . . he even said . . ."
When Lin Tiancheng heard Ye Yuan's name, his face immediately fell.
Looks like he found out about Lu-er being bullied by Zhang Heng, and the flames of fury attacked his heart, which was why he came to the General Affairs Department to cause such an upheaval.
Thinking of this, Lin Tiancheng gave a cold laugh. "Do you all just eat rice and do nothing? Just a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm managed to frighten you all until this manner? That Hu Tie is also a trash, to be sent flying with a single slap from a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm."
"Senior Apprentice Brother Lin, Ye Yuan, h-he isn't only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm."
"Mmm? Not only Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm? Don't tell me he really entered closed-seclusion to breakthrough to the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm?"
"A-also not the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm." That student shook his head like a rattle drum.
Looking at this appearance, Lin Tiancheng became infuriated. "Can you not talk like you are out of breath?! Just what's Ye Yuan strength? He can't have been in a closed-door seclusion for a few days and reached the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, right?"
This time around, that student's head was like a chicken pecking for rice as he nodded non-stop. "T-that's right! Ye Yuan is already at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm!"
"What?!"
Including Lin Tiancheng, all the student managers in the room were astonished.
They were, of course, aware of what strength Ye Yuan possessed. Around ten days ago, Ye Yuan had just made Lin Tiancheng lose face greatly. Back then, he was still at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm.
Just a mere ten days or so had passed, and Ye Yuan was already at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm?
He jumped from the First Level Essence Qi Realm to the Third Level Essence Qi Realm. Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm could also be jumped?
Just what was happening to this world?
The crux was that not only did Ye Yuan increase his cultivation realm extremely fast, his strength also improved by leaps and bounds.
Did they not just hear what this punk said? He sent Hu Tie flying with one slap! Hu Tie was an Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm, and he could not even take a hit. Would that not mean that Ye Yuan possessed at least the strength of a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm?
After the shock, Lin Tiancheng's face grew darker.
He did not expect that Ye Yuan would have the power to threaten him so fast. It looked like it was already hopeless for Zhang Heng.
"Humph! Just Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm! You are all veteran Earth rank students. Don't tell me every one of you are scared of a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm? Are you all even Dan Wu Academy's students? You, go out and tell them to attack together!

"Have you all thought things through? Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. I'm only looking for Lin Tiancheng alone. Are you all sure you want to be accomplices?"
Ye Yuan took a step forward. The students outside the department were affected by his aura and retreated a step in unison.
Ye Yuan took another step forward, and the crowd stepped back once more.
A Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm managed to force a group of Seventh and Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm students back!
If this were spread outside, there would no longer be a need for the General Affairs Department to exist.
Right at this moment, the student who went to report to Lin Tiancheng just now rushed back. "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin said to attack together and take him down first! He's just at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm. If you all can't deal with this, then what do we need you for? If you all can't take down Ye Yuan, then forget about working in the General Affairs Department in the future!"
Once these words were out, everyone's faces changed.
Lin Tiancheng had always lived up to his words. He would really replace all these people!
Most of these Earth Rank students had no hope of advancing to the Heaven Rank, so they stayed here to do some work and fish for some benefits.
If they did not work here, then they could possibly end up doing manual labor.
That was obviously a result they did not wish to see!
"Fine! I don't believe that so many of us here can't take care of a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm."
"Everyone, attack!"
Everybody gathered, surrounding Ye Yuan in the center.
Ye Yuan did not stop them, and let them surround him.
Finally, these people could no longer resist attacking Ye Yuan!
From the front, an Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm student stabbed his sword towards Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan reached out and flicked a finger. That long sword immediately flew out of his hand.
Another slap, and that Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm was sent flying.
At the same time, a palm attack came from the back. It was like eyes were growing behind Ye Yuan as he evaded it by slightly shifting his body. Then, he slammed his arm backward, and that person also went airborne.
For some time, the surroundings were filled with attacks, but nobody was able to really threaten Ye Yuan.
Not only were they unable to pose any threat, Ye Yuan even moved forward as he fought. He was about to push past the outer court.
People could be seen flying continuously out of the group surrounding Ye Yuan and landing heavily on the ground.
In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan broke past these people's defense and passed through the outer court.
The majority of these people were at the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm and the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm. To the current Ye Yuan, there was completely no threat. Where his palm wind reached, a series of wailing sounded.
The outer court was strewn with people lying on the ground and crying out shrilly.
Ye Yuan did not stop. Grabbing a sword, he advanced inside like that with the sword in his hand.
Entering the middle court, another group of people surrounded him. These people were the student managers of the General Affairs Department. Each one of them was like Zhang Heng; all existences of the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!
Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm was the pinnacle of existence in the Essence Qi Realm. It represented the apex of the Essence Qi Realm. Their strength was also much stronger than the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm.
Ye Yuan would not care about a single person. But there were around seven or eight people now. They would not be a minor force anywhere.

He had the Black Tower in hand and was filled with confidence, having the thought of fishing in troubled waters. He and Hu Niu were ringers; seeing that they were just a youngster and a little girl, how could everyone else be on guard?\nAfter eating, the party headed southwest. With half a day’s effort, a mountain valley appeared before them. A vast crowd was outside the valley, as if convening a general meeting.\nLing Han’s gaze swept by. He saw that the place was divided into circles of the many forces, each simply surrounding a small area of tents. Most of the forces also planted their flags; for example, Heavenly Silkworm Court’s was a purple-colored beast silkworm, Devour Bone Court’s was a skull, and Cold Water Sect’s was an ice river.\n“The Cold Water Sect also came, huh.” Ling Han smiled mischievously. When he was at the Fallen Moon Gorge, he annihilated one of Cold Water Sect’s disciples. If he were to reveal his identity now, would the elites of the Cold Water Sect come and make him pay?\nIf they met on a narrow path, then they might, but under the eyes of the crowd, who dared to lay their hands on an alchemist? Unless this alchemist did something that truly would cause the wrath of god and the resentment of men and gave rise to public indignation, they definitely had to consider the leviathan that was the Alchemist Society.\nBesides, Ling Han was now an Earth Grade alchemist—would they offend an Earth Grade alchemist deeply for a mere Spiritual Ocean Tier disciple?\nLing Han looked around; all the forces he knew came—except one. …The Blood Light House.\nIt was rumored that the original master of the Blood Light House was defeated by a man who called himself “Fist Emperor,” yielding the position of house master.

He cultivated every day, fathoming the way of the sword and formations. All the paths of the heaven and world were interlinked and he gained comprehension by analogy, forming the eight flash of Sword Qi. Becoming aware of such benefits naturally made him full of confidence.\nYao Hui Yue was just twenty-four to twenty-five, and yet he formed nine flashes of Sword Qi—possibly even more—giving Ling Han immense pressure.\nThe older generation had all arrived, and the youngsters on the prodigy roll could no longer garner attention. However, Zhu Xuan Er was still like a bright moon and would set off a commotion no matter where she walked, always surrounded by countless people.\nInside the mountain valley was the Heavenly Luck Stone, but inside the mountain cave, a beast kept watch and blocked the path; till this day, no one dared to venture on.\nBecause this beast was the Golden Blood Demonic Ape, a king amongst beasts!\nBeing at the ninth layer of the Flower Blossom Tier and a king amongst beasts determined the beast’s amazing strength. Furthermore, the mentality of the beasts here was affected by chaos intent—each and every one only knew of slaughter, making the Golden Blood Demonic Ape even scarier.\nAlthough there were quite a few Flower Blossom Tier elites present, there weren’t many that reached the ninth layer. Not to mention that even if ten or even twenty of them joined hands, they might not even rival that demonic ape.\nTherefore, everyone was waiting; fighting with such a vicious thing carried an extremely high chance of dying, so the more certain they were, the better.\nHowever, this wouldn’t last for long, because the Demonic Qi influenced the minds of living creatures, driving people insane—something that no one wanted to happen to themselves.\nNow these powerful people were negotiating: who would take the Heavenly Luck Stone, and what benefits would the recipient take out to settle with the others? Moreover, the Golden Blood Demonic Ape was king tier, so its blood, flesh, skin, fur, and bones all had immense value, so how would that be distributed?\nThese days were just about arguing back and forth, as if during an auction. Each force wanted to pay the smallest price to receive the greatest benefit, but once there were too many people, it naturally became an endless conference.\nHowever, after two days, the Golden Blood Demonic Ape initiated the attack.\nIt was over thirty feet tall and fully covered in red fur that reached two feet, gently swaying under the mountain breeze. Its claws were appallingly long, each one reaching three feet and as if a sharp spear—the gleaming look of it alone would scare people.\nThis was beast of the king tier as strong as the ninth layer of the Flower Blossom Tier, emitting an extremely terrifying presence that could rival the first layer of the Spiritual Infant Tier. Even the lot of Flower Blossom Tier elites didn’t dare to easily start a battle.\nPa, pa, pa, the people below Flower Blossom Tier all went soft at the soles of their feet, almost falling to the ground—the presence of it was too terrifying. When Feng Yan took out a magical decree, it stunned all Spiritual Pedestal Tier elites, and now this demonic ape had about the same strength.\nHowever, a few people were the exception, such as Zhu Xuan Er and Shen Zhong Cheng, and a few youngsters that Ling Han didn’t recognize—they actually resisted the presence.\nThese youngsters were kings amongst the humans. Although they were still young and immature, a young king was still a king, so how could they kneel or lower their heads towards another king?\nLign Han didn’t want to stand out and pulled on Hu Niu to sit down on the ground. Everyone sat anyways and there was no need to worry about people blocking their vision. Moreover, this demonic ape was over thirty feet tall—the target was way too obvious.\n“Kill… kill…” The demonic ape actually slobbered the words of man, its red eyes filled with ruthlessness as it immediately began its massacre. Waving its demonic claws, shua , five flashes of momentous Qi shot out, turning into a thirty thousand feet long attacks. Pu, pu, pu, pu, the momentous Qi swept over and those who lay, sat, or knelt on the ground were undoubtedly split into two.\n“Stop!”\nWith its one attack, these Flower Blossom Tier elites could sit no longer, and attacked the ape one after another. There wasn’t only cannon fodder here, but also their disciples, and if all of them died here, the loss would be too great.\nOne, two, three, four, five… Ling Han counted a total of 34 Flower Blossom Tier warriors. Of those, three reached the ninth layer, five the eighth layer, nine the seventh layer… those below seventh layer actually held little significance. Against a king tier, they could at most impede it, and had no ability to fight it head-on at all.\nThe great battle began, and although the demonic ape was fighting against the masses alone, it still had the initiative. As it waved its demonic claws, every claw lashed out with momentous Qi, impossible to overcome, forcing these Flower Blossom Tier elites to dodge all over the place.\nA king amongst beasts was truly powerful!"

第409章
这是一支天蚕院的队伍，但真正属于天蚕院的，却只有那老者一个人，名叫左宇道，其他人都是像凌寒一样，被他半路上招揽过来的。
不用说，他们这支队伍是完全的炮灰队，真要遇到什么大战，那他们就个个都是上去填的命。
有些人的眼神中有忧色，显然看出了真相，但也有些人喜气洋洋，一天可以赚两块元晶啊，这样的好事上哪去找？
只不过，万一诸大势力发生大战的话，这里的人估计要死得干净，那天蚕院又何需付给死人元晶呢？
凌寒淡定从容，他有黑塔在手，底气十足，反倒存了浑水摸鱼的心。 他和虎妞扮猪吃虎，众人看他们一个还是少年，另一个更是小姑娘，又怎么可能会心生提防呢？
在吃过饭后，这支队伍向着西南方向前进，也就小半天的功夫，只见前方出现了一座山谷，但此时谷外却是人山人海，好像在开大会似的。
凌寒目光一扫，只见这里分成了好多势力的圈子，用帐篷简单地围成了一个个小区域，大部份的势力居然还插着旗帜，比如天蚕院，就是一条紫色的妖蚕，蚀骨楼则是一个骷髅头，寒水宗是一条冰河。
“寒水宗也来了呀。” 凌寒嘿嘿一笑，当初他在落月峡的时候可是轰杀了寒水宗的一名弟子，要是他现在展露身份的话，寒水宗的强者会不会找他算账呢？
如果是狭路相逢，那可能会，不过众目睽睽之下。 谁又敢对一名丹师下手？
而且凌寒现在已经是地级丹师了，为了一个小小的灵海境弟子往死里得罪地级丹师？
凌寒找了一圈，凡是他知道的势力基本是来齐了，除了一家。
据说原血光楼主被一名自称“拳帝”的人打败了，让出了楼主之位，现在这位继任者还真是忍得住，面对天运石都是没有出手。
要知道这玩意就算自己不用，往灵宝阁一丢，那拍卖出去绝对是天价。
每天修炼修炼，揣摩一下剑道和阵道。 天下大道相通，他就是在阵法上获得了触类旁通，才修出了第八道剑气，尝到了甜头自然让他信心十足。
妖回月也只有二十四五，却赫然修出了九道剑气，甚至还不止，这给了他很大的压力。
老一辈人物都是驾临，天骄榜上的年轻人自然也无法再领风光。 但诸旋儿还是如一轮明月，无论走到哪里都会引起轰动，总是被无数的人簇拥着。
山谷中，就有那天运石。 但藏在一个山洞之中，却有一头妖兽坐镇，堵住了去路。 至今无人敢犯险。
因为这头妖兽是金血魔猿，妖中王者！
决定了这头妖兽实力惊人，而且。 这里的妖兽都被混乱意志影响了心智，一个个都是只知道杀戮，让金血魔猿变得更加可怕。
这里的生花境虽然不少，可达到九层的却不多，别说十个，就是二十个联手都不一定是那头魔猿的对手。
因此，大家都在等，与这样的凶物交战，极有可能殒落的，自然是把握越足越好。
不过这时间也不会太久，因为这里的魔气影响生灵的意志，让人变得疯狂，这是谁也不想发生在自己身上的事情。
现在这些大能都在谈判，一是天运石归谁，得主肯拿出多少好处来摆平其他人，而金血魔猿可是王者级别，它的血肉皮毛骨都有着巨大的价值，这又怎么分配？
这些天就是在扯皮，如同拍卖会似的，每个势力都想用最小的代价来获取最大的利益，人一多，那自然成了无尽的会议。
可两天之后，那头金血魔猿却是主动杀了出来。
它足有十丈高，浑身披覆着红色的毛发，长达两尺，在山风的吹拂下轻轻拂动着。 它的爪子也长得惊人，根根皆达三尺，如同尖矛，那寒光闪闪的模样让人看着就心中发毛。
这是一头王者级别的妖兽，更是强至生花九层，散发出来的气势无比可怕，都能媲美灵婴一层了。 也正是如此，便是一干生花境强者都是不敢轻易开战。
啪啪啪，生花境以下的人都是脚下一软，差点扑倒在了地上，这气势太可怕了。 当初封炎拿出一张灵婴境的法旨，便让神台境强者都是动弹不得，如今这头魔猿也差不多强到了这样的份上。
但也有少许人例外，比如诸旋儿、比如沈中城，还有一些凌寒不认得年轻人，他们居然抗住了这股气势。
这些年轻人便是人族中的王者，虽然还稚嫩，但就算是年幼的王者那也是王者，岂会向另一个王者屈膝低头？
凌寒不想做出头鸟，拉着虎妞坐到了地上，反正大家都坐着，也不用怕被人挡住了视线。 再说了，这头魔猿足有十丈高，目标也太明显了。
“杀……杀……”魔猿竟是口吐人言，血红色的双眼中充满着暴戾，立刻展开了屠杀，魔爪一挥，刷，五道劲气打出，化成千丈长，噗噗噗噗，劲气划过，地上或躺或坐或跪的人都是被毫无悬念地一分为二。
“住手！”
它这么一出手，那些生花境强者也坐不住了，纷纷出手向着魔猿攻去。 要知道这里可不止是炮灰，还有他们的门人弟子，要是全死在这里那损失就大了。
一二三四五，凌寒数着，一共有三十四名生花境，有三人达到了九层，五个八层，九个七层，至于七层以下，其实意义并不大，对上王者级别顶多就只能牵制一下，根本没有打正面的能力。
大战即起，魔猿虽然以一敌众，却反倒占据了主动，魔爪挥出中，每道爪子皆是挥出一道劲气，无坚不摧，逼得那些生花境强者居然只有到处闪躲的份。

Chapter 409 - Golden Blood Demonic Ape
This was a team of Heavenly Silkworm Court, but only that old man truly belonged to the Heavenly Silkworm Court. His name was Zuo Yu Dao. The others were like Ling Han, recruited along the way.
Needless to say, they were completely a cannon fodder party. If they encountered a great battle, they would simply be putting out their lives.
Some had anxiety in their eyes, evidently seeing the truth, but others were filled with joy—earning two pieces of Origin Crystal per day, where else would one find such a good job?
However, if a great battle broke out between the large forces, the people here would probably all die, so why would the Heavenly Silkworm Sect need to pay dead people Origin Crystal?
Ling Han was calm and collected. He had the Black Tower in hand and was filled with confidence, having the thought of fishing in troubled waters. He and Hu Niu were ringers; seeing that they were just a youngster and a little girl, how could everyone else be on guard?
After eating, the party headed southwest. With half a day’s effort, a mountain valley appeared before them. A vast crowd was outside the valley, as if convening a general meeting.
Ling Han’s gaze swept by. He saw that the place was divided into circles of the many forces, each simply surrounding a small area of tents. Most of the forces also planted their flags; for example, Heavenly Silkworm Court’s was a purple-colored beast silkworm, Devour Bone Court’s was a skull, and Cold Water Sect’s was an ice river.
“The Cold Water Sect also came, huh.” Ling Han smiled mischievously. When he was at the Fallen Moon Gorge, he annihilated one of Cold Water Sect’s disciples. If he were to reveal his identity now, would the elites of the Cold Water Sect come and make him pay?
If they met on a narrow path, then they might, but under the eyes of the crowd, who dared to lay their hands on an alchemist? Unless this alchemist did something that truly would cause the wrath of god and the resentment of men and gave rise to public indignation, they definitely had to consider the leviathan that was the Alchemist Society.
Besides, Ling Han was now an Earth Grade alchemist—would they offend an Earth Grade alchemist deeply for a mere Spiritual Ocean Tier disciple?
Ling Han looked around; all the forces he knew came—except one. …The Blood Light House.
It was rumored that the original master of the Blood Light House was defeated by a man who called himself “Fist Emperor,” yielding the position of house master. The successor really had restraint, not even making a move for the Heavenly Luck Stone.
Even if this thing wasn’t used for oneself, throwing it to the Spirit Treasures Pavilion and auctioning it off would definitely get a sky-high price.
Ling Han was extremely low-key, hiding within the cannon fodder of the Heavenly Silkworm Court. He cultivated every day, fathoming the way of the sword and formations. All the paths of the heaven and world were interlinked and he gained comprehension by analogy, forming the eight flash of Sword Qi. Becoming aware of such benefits naturally made him full of confidence.
Yao Hui Yue was just twenty-four to twenty-five, and yet he formed nine flashes of Sword Qi—possibly even more—giving Ling Han immense pressure.
The older generation had all arrived, and the youngsters on the prodigy roll could no longer garner attention. However, Zhu Xuan Er was still like a bright moon and would set off a commotion no matter where she walked, always surrounded by countless people.
Inside the mountain valley was the Heavenly Luck Stone, but inside the mountain cave, a beast kept watch and blocked the path; till this day, no one dared to venture on.
Because this beast was the Golden Blood Demonic Ape, a king amongst beasts!
Being at the ninth layer of the Flower Blossom Tier and a king amongst beasts determined the beast’s amazing strength. Furthermore, the mentality of the beasts here was affected by chaos intent—each and every one only knew of slaughter, making the Golden Blood Demonic Ape even scarier.
Although there were quite a few Flower Blossom Tier elites present, there weren’t many that reached the ninth layer. Not to mention that even if ten or even twenty of them joined hands, they might not even rival that demonic ape.
Therefore, everyone was waiting; fighting with such a vicious thing carried an extremely high chance of dying, so the more certain they were, the better.
However, this wouldn’t last for long, because the Demonic Qi influenced the minds of living creatures, driving people insane—something that no one wanted to happen to themselves.
Now these powerful people were negotiating: who would take the Heavenly Luck Stone, and what benefits would the recipient take out to settle with the others? Moreover, the Golden Blood Demonic Ape was king tier, so its blood, flesh, skin, fur, and bones all had immense value, so how would that be distributed?
These days were just about arguing back and forth, as if during an auction. Each force wanted to pay the smallest price to receive the greatest benefit, but once there were too many people, it naturally became an endless conference.
However, after two days, the Golden Blood Demonic Ape initiated the attack.
It was over thirty feet tall and fully covered in red fur that reached two feet, gently swaying under the mountain breeze. Its claws were appallingly long, each one reaching three feet and as if a sharp spear—the gleaming look of it alone would scare people.
This was beast of the king tier as strong as the ninth layer of the Flower Blossom Tier, emitting an extremely terrifying presence that could rival the first layer of the Spiritual Infant Tier. Even the lot of Flower Blossom Tier elites didn’t dare to easily start a battle.
Pa, pa, pa, the people below Flower Blossom Tier all went soft at the soles of their feet, almost falling to the ground—the presence of it was too terrifying. When Feng Yan took out a magical decree, it stunned all Spiritual Pedestal Tier elites, and now this demonic ape had about the same strength.
However, a few people were the exception, such as Zhu Xuan Er and Shen Zhong Cheng, and a few youngsters that Ling Han didn’t recognize—they actually resisted the presence.
These youngsters were kings amongst the humans. Although they were still young and immature, a young king was still a king, so how could they kneel or lower their heads towards another king?
Lign Han didn’t want to stand out and pulled on Hu Niu to sit down on the ground. Everyone sat anyways and there was no need to worry about people blocking their vision. Moreover, this demonic ape was over thirty feet tall—the target was way too obvious.
“Kill… kill…” The demonic ape actually slobbered the words of man, its red eyes filled with ruthlessness as it immediately began its massacre. Waving its demonic claws, shua , five flashes of momentous Qi shot out, turning into a thirty thousand feet long attacks. Pu, pu, pu, pu, the momentous Qi swept over and those who lay, sat, or knelt on the ground were undoubtedly split into two.
“Stop!”
With its one attack, these Flower Blossom Tier elites could sit no longer, and attacked the ape one after another. There wasn’t only cannon fodder here, but also their disciples, and if all of them died here, the loss would be too great.
One, two, three, four, five… Ling Han counted a total of 34 Flower Blossom Tier warriors. Of those, three reached the ninth layer, five the eighth layer, nine the seventh layer… those below seventh layer actually held little significance. Against a king tier, they could at most impede it, and had no ability to fight it head-on at all.
The great battle began, and although the demonic ape was fighting against the masses alone, it still had the initiative. As it waved its demonic claws, every claw lashed out with momentous Qi, impossible to overcome, forcing these Flower Blossom Tier elites to dodge all over the place.
A king amongst beasts was truly powerful!

"value": "With such a horrifying character at Hong Dali’s side, Yao Tianhao and the rest, however, did not know about that. At this point, Yao Tianhao was still waiting for Hong Dali’s latest arrangements. “Young Master, currently, our [Grand League] has yet another addition of three more players with comparatively high abilities. They are [Grand League-Set Sail], [Grand League-TIMLI], and [Grand League-Love You] respectively. The three of them are currently even able to put up a fight with Miss Zixuan for a few rounds of Martial Arts PK.”\nWhat the heck, able to put up a few rounds with Lin Zixuan? That was definitely an expert!\nHong Dali directly nodded in acknowledgment. “Not bad, tip them! En, we have quite a number of people who had come among all our brothers. Reward everyone, two hundred each!”\nYao Tianhao naturally understood Hong Dali’s thinking, thus, he called out, “Young Master says to tip two hundred for everyone. Everybody, work hard! Young Master will definitely not disadvantage us in any way! Whoever who doesn’t heed this order will not get any reward money!”\n[Whole of Grand League] exclaimed: “Thank you, Young Master!”\nAfter several of them talked for a while more, Lin Zixuan came over hopping and jumping up and down. The lass was already at Level 67, and her ultimate speed was akin to a rocket. Lin Zixuan laughed and said, “Big Bro Dali, you’ve come? Recently, our gaming company had many people signing up to join it. I’ve picked out three of them who have really strong abilities. Big Bro Dali knows about them too, right?”\nLooks like those three people that Yao Tianhao had mentioned were personally picked by Lin Zixuan. Not bad, not bad.\nHong Dali smiled and said, “Zixuan, how many people are there now?”\n“Over 60.” Lin Zixuan ran over, smiling as she said, “They’re all of quite a high standard, but they’re all students, so I decided on my own to give them a salary of one thousand yuan monthly. Every day, they’d go to school in the day, and at night, they’d practice their gaming here. They’ve all made very quick improvements.”\nWith Lin Zixuan’s guidance, improvement was a must.\nTalking about gaming, Hong Dali suddenly recalled that woman who jumped into the river, Jin Zishan, who was exceedingly unlucky. He anxiously asked, “Zixuan, has a new woman called Jin Zishan just gone over to your side?”\n“You’re talking about Sister Zishan?” Lin Zixuan smiled and said, “When Sister Zishan had just come, she looked really frightening. However, during the second day, she was fetched by Godfather’s medical team personnel. After she was sent back, that black thing on her face had fully disappeared. Sister Zishan is now so pretty—especially her figure, I drool just by looking at her.”\n“Naughty girl. You may be small, but you’re up to so much mischief.” Hong Dali laughed as he chided her. “When you grow older, your figure will definitely be much better than hers!”\n“Hee hee, I hope so.” Lin Zixuan smiled, after which she suddenly said, “Oh right, Big Bro Dali, Sister Zishan now’s staying in the drawing room every day to draw. The characters she draws out are all so good-looking, there are all sorts of them!”\n“Of course, she drew comics back then.” Hong Dali was still more familiar with Jin Zishan’s ability. “She published comics last time. It’s just that her luck was bad… Aye, right, Zixuan, now that you see it, has your Sister Zishan’s luck improved?”\nHong Dali: “!!”\nWAHAHAHAHAHA! Looks like her bad luck is finally gone, and even the black-colored birthmark on her face has been removed. Now she’s also someone who could pick up wallets while she walked, OHHOHOHOHOHO! It’s been bad luck all along before that, and once her luck changed, it’s unstoppable now!\nEn, after he’d finished with things here, he’d better go and take a look at what kind of things she’d been drawing these few days.\nSpeaking of this, I’m still very curious!\nAfter he’d finished asking about things, Hong Dali touched his chin. “En, our E-Sports can finally be put on stage. Thinking of this, I’m really anticipating it. Wahaha, let’s not care about that. Chuyin, send us to train our accounts! With GM’s little boxer leading the team, we’ll definitely train our accounts fast!”\nThe nine lackeys fiercely nodded their heads.\n“Uh, OK.” Lin Chuyin gathered Hong Dali and the rest, and then, with a flash of white light, they’d entered the dungeon!\nHumph humph humph humph! This time, without Liu Mingxin at the side, we’re also people who follow the GM!\n“After we’ve tortured the BOSS for a while, let’s go and save Big turtle tomorrow! WAHAHAHAHA! I’m anticipating so much!”\n…\nWhile Hong Dali’s side happily played their game, Liu Mingxin, who was drinking coffee at Sky-blue Wings Coffeehouse, was instead feeling very gloomy.\nHe’d already had quite a number of things to handle today, thus, he barely had the time to calm his mind down after returning from Dad’s company where he’d busied himself at. In the end, before he’d barely sat down, there was already an incoming call waiting for him.\nIt was the team leader on duty at his own Mingxin Network.\nAnd the reason for the call was very simple. Due to some unknown reason, an illegal GM that had appeared out of nowhere, and that GM was currently leading Hong Dali’s [Grand League] team into the dungeon.\nA wild GM had suddenly appeared for no particular reason from his game server. Anyone in this situation would feel an impending crisis.\nHowever, fortunately, Liu Mingxin knew that it definitely had something to do with Hong Dali. Thus, he was relieved—nothing that happened to that fellow would be weird. After a few encounters with him, Liu Mingxin showed that his own mental state was very dependable and stable.\nUpon hearing this name, Liu Mingxin felt chills going through his spine.\nA team comprising of Hong Dali and Lin Chuyin made Liu Mingxin’s hairs stand on end. Because he could totally imagine how Lin Chuyin had attacked and struck the firewall down, how she had attained the GM’s authority, as well as how she had grasped hold of the GM orders.\nAs a member of the Holy Grail organization, it really wasn’t very difficult for Lin Chuyin to gain the management authority of the server—even if she couldn’t get it, those freaks from the Holy Grail organization would be able to help her get it easily.\nLiu Mingxin now considered himself lucky that there was currently only Lin Chuyin who was a wild GM. What he was unsure of, on the other hand, was whether this GM authority had been acquired due to a moment of interest by Lin Chuyin or whether the Holy Grail organization had participated in it—if it had something to do with Holy Grail, then there was going to be big trouble.\nThat bunch of people with extremely advanced IQ, as long as one of them took an interest in hacking or other things, and there was another who desired to stir up trouble, then this game of his would easily be made to power off and be protected. They were people who wouldn’t even bat an eyelid when harming others. Previously, there had allegedly been an official in Merika who had offended a member of the Holy Grail for some unknown reason. Afterward, there was a whole week of playing with planes at night at their parliament building—it was the effect of playing the game of playing planes produced that was upon controlling the lights on and lights out. Moreover, according to quite a number of Merikan onlookers, that effect was quite thrilling when seen from afar!\nThus, Liu Mingxin directly took out his phone and called Hong Dali.\nThe first sentence he said after the call had gotten through was, “Young Master Dali, en… Currently, how many people know that you have a GM by your side?”\n“I knew that Young Master Dali is still very dependable.” Liu Mingxin smiled and said, “Actually, what I want to ask is, did Chuyin herself visit my server or did she enter with the help of others?”\n“About this?” Hong Dali turned his head and asked Lin Chuyin, “Chuyin, did you manage to enter the game server on your own or did someone help you acquire this GM little boxer? Old Liu over there asked me to ask you.”\n“Uh, I did it myself.” Lin Chuyin, who was leading a whole lot of people to attack the BOSS, said.\n“She entered by herself.” Hong Dali said to Liu Mingxin on the phone. “I’d only wanted to play games tonight, and I was originally planning to bring her along to play for a while. Afterward, she got the GM authority somehow, WAHAHAHAHA! Old Liu, I won’t need to trouble you anymore in the future…”\nUh… Liu Mingxin smiled bitterly. Not needing to trouble me is the biggest trouble instead, okay?\nHowever, no matter what, at least he got to know that Lin Chuyin’s side did that purely for fun, so it probably would not cause any big trouble. Therefore, server protection seemed unnecessary anymore. Anyway, Hong Dali had no reason to go so overboard as to make things difficult for him. Thus, Liu Mingxin smiled and said, “Young Master Dali, about the E-Sports, do you have any ideas about that? I’ve already started preparations to promote it in the game, but I’m not sure how are the arrangements going at your side?”\n“My side is completely fine!” Hong Dali smiled and said, “Xiaoyi has already returned. When the time comes, I’ll just get her to make arrangements for these matters. Rest assured, I guarantee that it won’t be lacking!” That fellow did not know even up till now that Liu Mingxin had helped himself in the dark…\n“En, then I’m assured.” Liu Mingxin smiled and said, “In that case, do enjoy yourself in your gaming Young Master Dali, I won’t disturb you all. En, right, now that Grand League is developing rapidly and it’s very regular as well, I feel that it has quite a lot of potential to develop further.”\nWasn’t that definite!\nHong Dali was very satisfied with Grand League and said, “It’s gaming, so it has to be played to the fullest, right? Oh right, when the time comes, I’d better find more people. Also, Old Liu, ask two gaming experts of yours to come over, in the case when the time comes, we play so badly even though we call it E-Sports. It’ll be made into a joke!”\n“Heh heh, Young Master Dali, you can rest assured about this.” Liu Mingxin replied, “Currently, I’ve already let out word and given the players at the top few places a very high reward. So, I trust that they will come over as long as they think that they have quite strong abilities.”\n“Oh, is that so,” Hong Dali touched his chin and suddenly asked, “I say, Old Liu, did you not organize something like a local audition?”\n“Local audition?” Liu Mingxin was, as expected, a smart person, he immediately understood what Hong Dali meant. “I’d have forgotten about this should you not have reminded me of it. Yes, it should be properly promoted locally. En, that’s set then. I’ll go make arrangements first. See you.”\n“See you.”"

洪大力这边有林初音这么个恐怖的人物在，姚天皓他们可是不知道，这时候姚天皓还等着洪大力的最新安排呢：“少主，目前我们豪盟又多了三名实力相当强的玩家，分别是【豪盟-启航】、【豪盟-TIMLI】、【豪盟-爱你】。 .他们三人目前在格斗PK方面与紫萱小姐也能大战几个回合。”
我靠，能跟林紫萱大战几个回合？ 那绝对是高手啊！
洪大力直接点头：“不错，赏！ 恩，今天兄弟们来的人不少啊，每人先赏两百！”
姚天皓自然也明白洪大力的想法，一声招呼：“少主说每人先赏两百，大家好好干！ 少主绝对亏不了咱们地！
【豪盟全体】山呼：“谢少主！”
几人又说了一会，林紫萱蹦蹦跳跳的跑了过来，洪大力一看，这丫头都67级了，练级速度可谓是坐火箭一样，只听林紫萱笑道：“大力哥，你来啦？ 咱们的游戏公司这边最近来了不少人报名呢，我挑出来三个实力很厉害的，大力哥都知道了吧？”
看来刚才姚天皓说的那三个人应该就是林紫萱亲自选拔出来的了，不错不错。
洪大力笑着问道：“紫萱啊，那边现在多少人啦？”
“六十多人啦，”林紫萱跑过来，笑道：“水平都挺不错的，不过都是学生，我擅作主张给他们每人订的一个月一千块的工资，每天白天去上课，晚上就在这练习打游戏，进步都很快哦。”
有林紫萱在那边调教，进步快那是必须地。
提起游戏，洪大力忽然想起来那个运气倒霉到暴表的跳河女人金紫杉来，急忙问道：“紫萱啊，你们那是不是新去了一个女人叫金紫杉的呀？”
“你是说紫杉姐姐呀？” 林紫萱笑道：“紫杉姐姐刚来的时候看起来好吓人哦，不过第二天就被*爸来的医疗团队的人给接走啦，等送回来的时候，脸上的黑色的东西都不见了哦，现在的紫杉姐姐好漂亮呢，尤其是身材，我看着都流口水呢。”
“臭丫头人小鬼大，”洪大力笑骂道：“等你再长大些，你的身材肯定比她还好！”
“嘻嘻，希望吧，”林紫萱笑了笑，忽然说道：“对了，大力哥，紫杉姐姐现在每天都在画室里画画，画出来的人物可好看啦，什么样的都有呢！”
“那必须啊，她以前就是画漫画地，”洪大力对金紫杉的实力还算比较了解：“她以前可是出过漫画的人呢，只不过运气差了点……诶，对了，紫萱，现在你看你紫杉姐姐的运气好点了没？”
洪大力：“！ ！”
哇哈哈哈哈哈！ 看来她这霉运是真的过去了啊，这帮她去掉脸上的黑色胎记，如今她也是走路能拣钱包的人了，哦HOHOHOHOHO！ 一直都是霉运，这一旦转运那可不得了哇！
恩，等这边事情完了得，得去看看她这几天都画的什么东西。
话说，咱还是很好奇地！
这边事情都问完，洪大力摸了摸下巴：“恩，咱的电子竞技要摆上舞台了，想想还真有点小期待——哇哈哈，不管那个了，初音那，送咱们去练级吧！ 有了GM的小裤衩带队，练级肯定快！”
九大狗腿猛点头。
“唔，好的。” 林初音组上洪大力等人，然后白光一闪，进入副本！
哼哼哼哼！ 这回没有柳明信在边上，咱也是跟GM混的人了！
“虐会BOSS，明天咱们去救大龟！ 哇哈哈哈哈！
真是好期待啊！”
洪大力那边快乐的玩着游戏，而在天蓝之翼咖啡馆喝咖啡的柳明信却表示很郁闷。
他今天本来事就不少，刚从老爸的公司忙活完回来，难得想要静静心，结果屁股还没怎么坐稳呢，电话就打过来了。
是自己的明信网络那边的值班领导打过来的。
而打电话的原因很简单，不知道什么原因，莫名其妙的出现了一个非法GM，正在带着洪大力的【豪盟】一群人刷副本。
自己的游戏服务器里面出现了莫名其妙的野生GM，这换成谁都会感觉大难临头。
不过好在柳明信知道是跟洪大力有关，也就释然了——这货身上发生什么都不奇怪，跟他接触了几次之后柳明信表示自己的神经很牢靠。
当听到是这个名字的时候柳明信很有点浑身发凉的感觉。
洪大力加上林初音的组合，让柳明信头皮一阵发麻，因为他完全可以想象林初音是如何攻陷的防火墙，如何获得的GM权力以及如何掌握的GM命令。
身为圣杯组织的一员，林初音想要获得某台服务器的管理权限，当真不是很难——就算她拿不到，圣杯组织里的那群变态也能轻而易举的帮她搞到手。
柳明信现在庆幸的是目前野生GM只有林初音一个，心里没底的则是这GM权限是只林初音自己一时兴起弄到手的还是圣杯组织参与进来了——如果跟圣杯有关，那么麻烦就很大了。
那帮智商超级发达的人里，只要有一个喜欢搞黑客之类事情的，要是再有个唯恐天下不乱的，那自己的这游戏很容易就需要关机维护了。 这帮家伙都是祸害人不要命的主，之前据说美国有名官员不知道怎么惹了一名圣杯成员，然后他们的国会大楼晚上足足打了一星期的飞机——就是控制灯亮灯灭制造出游戏打飞机的效果——而且据当时不少围观的美国人说，那效果离远看相当劲爆！
所以柳明信直接掏出手机就给洪大力拨了过去。
电话接通后的第一句话就是：“大力少爷，恩……现在有多少人知道你身边有GM？”
“我就知道大力少爷还是比较靠谱的。” 柳明信微笑道：“其实我想问的是，是初音自己访问的我的服务器，还是有别人帮忙才进来的？”
“这个啊？” 洪大力扭头问林初音：“初音那，你弄到这GM的小裤衩，是你自己进的游戏服务器还是有人帮忙啊？ 那边老柳叫我问问你。”
“唔，是我自己。” 正带一票人快乐的刷BOSS的林初音说道。
“是她自己进的，”洪大力冲电话里面的柳明信说道：“今天晚上我就是想玩玩游戏，本来合计带她一起玩会，然后她就弄到了GM权限——哇哈哈哈哈！
呃……柳明信满脸苦笑，不用麻烦我了才是最麻烦的好不好？
不过不管怎么说，至少是知道了林初音那边纯粹就是为了好玩，估计不会有什么大祸害，所以服务器维护也就显得没什么必要，反正洪大力也不至于在这方面跟自己为难，柳明信微笑道：“大力少爷，关于电子竞技那边的事情，你有什么想法？ 我已经开始准备在游戏里面宣传了，就是不知道大力少爷你那边都安排的如何了？”
“我这边没问题！” 洪大力笑着说道：“小依已经回来了，到时候我叫她安排这些事就好了，放心吧，保证差不了地！”
“恩，那我就放心了，”柳明信微笑道：“那大力少爷玩的愉快，我就不打搅你们了。 恩，对了，现在的豪盟发展的很迅速啊，而且还很正规，我倒觉得挺有发展潜力的。”
那不必须的么！
洪大力对豪盟非常满意，道：“玩游戏吗，必须得玩个过瘾不是？ 哦对了，到时候我得多找点人来，还有啊，老柳，你那边的游戏高手也多叫两个过来，别到时候号称电子竞技，结果打的各种土鳖，会叫人笑话的！”
“呵呵，这个大力少爷可以放心。” 柳明信回道：“目前我已经放出话了，拿到前几名的都有很高的奖金的，所以我相信只要是认为自己实力不错的都能过来。”
“哦，这样啊，”洪大力摸了摸下巴，忽然问道：“我说老柳啊，你难道没弄个什么地方的海选之类的？”
“地方的海选？” 柳明信不愧是聪明人，马上就明白了洪大力的意思：“你不提我还真把这事给忘了，是应该在地方上好好宣传一下。 恩，那就这样，我先去安排，回见。”
“回见。”

With such a horrifying character at Hong Dali’s side, Yao Tianhao and the rest, however, did not know about that. At this point, Yao Tianhao was still waiting for Hong Dali’s latest arrangements. “Young Master, currently, our [Grand League] has yet another addition of three more players with comparatively high abilities. They are [Grand League-Set Sail], [Grand League-TIMLI], and [Grand League-Love You] respectively. The three of them are currently even able to put up a fight with Miss Zixuan for a few rounds of Martial Arts PK.”

Lin Zixuan laughed and said, “Big Bro Dali, you’ve come? Recently, our gaming company had many people signing up to join it. I’ve picked out three of them who have really strong abilities. Big Bro Dali knows about them too, right?”
Looks like those three people that Yao Tianhao had mentioned were personally picked by Lin Zixuan. Not bad, not bad.
Hong Dali smiled and said, “Zixuan, how many people are there now?”
“Over 60.” Lin Zixuan ran over, smiling as she said, “They’re all of quite a high standard, but they’re all students, so I decided on my own to give them a salary of one thousand yuan monthly. Every day, they’d go to school in the day, and at night, they’d practice their gaming here. They’ve all made very quick improvements.”
With Lin Zixuan’s guidance, improvement was a must.
Talking about gaming, Hong Dali suddenly recalled that woman who jumped into the river, Jin Zishan, who was exceedingly unlucky. He anxiously asked, “Zixuan, has a new woman called Jin Zishan just gone over to your side?”
“You’re talking about Sister Zishan?” Lin Zixuan smiled and said, “When Sister Zishan had just come, she looked really frightening.

“Hee hee, I hope so.” Lin Zixuan smiled, after which she suddenly said, “Oh right, Big Bro Dali, Sister Zishan now’s staying in the drawing room every day to draw. The characters she draws out are all so good-looking, there are all sorts of them!”
“Of course, she drew comics back then.” Hong Dali was still more familiar with Jin Zishan’s ability. “She published comics last time. It’s just that her luck was bad… Aye, right, Zixuan, now that you see it, has your Sister Zishan’s luck improved?”
Hong Dali: “!!”
WAHAHAHAHAHA! Looks like her bad luck is finally gone, and even the black-colored birthmark on her face has been removed. Now she’s also someone who could pick up wallets while she walked, OHHOHOHOHOHO! It’s been bad luck all along before that, and once her luck changed, it’s unstoppable now!
En, after he’d finished with things here, he’d better go and take a look at what kind of things she’d been drawing these few days.
Speaking of this, I’m still very curious!
After he’d finished asking about things, Hong Dali touched his chin. “En, our E-Sports can finally be put on stage. Thinking of this, I’m really anticipating it. Wahaha, let’s not care about that. Chuyin, send us to train our accounts! With GM’s little boxer leading the team, we’ll definitely train our accounts fast!”
The nine lackeys fiercely nodded their heads.
“Uh, OK.” Lin Chuyin gathered Hong Dali and the rest, and then, with a flash of white light, they’d entered the dungeon!
Humph humph humph humph! This time, without Liu Mingxin at the side, we’re also people who follow the GM!
“After we’ve tortured the BOSS for a while, let’s go and save Big turtle tomorrow! WAHAHAHAHA! I’m anticipating so much!”
…
While Hong Dali’s side happily played their game, Liu Mingxin, who was drinking coffee at Sky-blue Wings Coffeehouse, was instead feeling very gloomy.
He’d already had quite a number of things to handle today, thus, he barely had the time to calm his mind down after returning from Dad’s company where he’d busied himself at. In the end, before he’d barely sat down, there was already an incoming call waiting for him.
It was the team leader on duty at his own Mingxin Network.

A team comprising of Hong Dali and Lin Chuyin made Liu Mingxin’s hairs stand on end. Because he could totally imagine how Lin Chuyin had attacked and struck the firewall down, how she had attained the GM’s authority, as well as how she had grasped hold of the GM orders.
As a member of the Holy Grail organization, it really wasn’t very difficult for Lin Chuyin to gain the management authority of the server—even if she couldn’t get it, those freaks from the Holy Grail organization would be able to help her get it easily.
Liu Mingxin now considered himself lucky that there was currently only Lin Chuyin who was a wild GM. What he was unsure of, on the other hand, was whether this GM authority had been acquired due to a moment of interest by Lin Chuyin or whether the Holy Grail organization had participated in it—if it had something to do with Holy Grail, then there was going to be big trouble.
That bunch of people with extremely advanced IQ, as long as one of them took an interest in hacking or other things, and there was another who desired to stir up trouble, then this game of his would easily be made to power off and be protected. They were people who wouldn’t even bat an eyelid when harming others. Previously, there had allegedly been an official in Merika who had offended a member of the Holy Grail for some unknown reason. Afterward, there was a whole week of playing with planes at night at their parliament building—it was the effect of playing the game of playing planes produced that was upon controlling the lights on and lights out. Moreover, according to quite a number of Merikan onlookers, that effect was quite thrilling when seen from afar!
Thus, Liu Mingxin directly took out his phone and called Hong Dali.
The first sentence he said after the call had gotten through was, “Young Master Dali, en… Currently, how many people know that you have a GM by your side?”
“I knew that Young Master Dali is still very dependable.” Liu Mingxin smiled and said, “Actually, what I want to ask is, did Chuyin herself visit my server or did she enter with the help of others?”
“About this?” Hong Dali turned his head and asked Lin Chuyin, “Chuyin, did you manage to enter the game server on your own or did someone help you acquire this GM little boxer? Old Liu over there asked me to ask you.”
“Uh, I did it myself.” Lin Chuyin, who was leading a whole lot of people to attack the BOSS, said.
“She entered by herself.” Hong Dali said to Liu Mingxin on the phone. “I’d only wanted to play games tonight, and I was originally planning to bring her along to play for a while. Afterward, she got the GM authority somehow, WAHAHAHAHA! Old Liu, I won’t need to trouble you anymore in the future…”
Uh… Liu Mingxin smiled bitterly. Not needing to trouble me is the biggest trouble instead, okay?
However, no matter what, at least he got to know that Lin Chuyin’s side did that purely for fun, so it probably would not cause any big trouble. Therefore, server protection seemed unnecessary anymore. Anyway, Hong Dali had no reason to go so overboard as to make things difficult for him. Thus, Liu Mingxin smiled and said, “Young Master Dali, about the E-Sports, do you have any ideas about that? I’ve already started preparations to promote it in the game, but I’m not sure how are the arrangements going at your side?”
“My side is completely fine!” Hong Dali smiled and said, “Xiaoyi has already returned. When the time comes, I’ll just get her to make arrangements for these matters. Rest assured, I guarantee that it won’t be lacking!” That fellow did not know even up till now that Liu Mingxin had helped himself in the dark…
“En, then I’m assured.” Liu Mingxin smiled and said, “In that case, do enjoy yourself in your gaming Young Master Dali, I won’t disturb you all. En, right, now that Grand League is developing rapidly and it’s very regular as well, I feel that it has quite a lot of potential to develop further.”
Wasn’t that definite!
Hong Dali was very satisfied with Grand League and said, “It’s gaming, so it has to be played to the fullest, right? Oh right, when the time comes, I’d better find more people. Also, Old Liu, ask two gaming experts of yours to come over, in the case when the time comes, we play so badly even though we call it E-Sports. It’ll be made into a joke!”
“Heh heh, Young Master Dali, you can rest assured about this.” Liu Mingxin replied, “Currently, I’ve already let out word and given the players at the top few places a very high reward. So, I trust that they will come over as long as they think that they have quite strong abilities.”
“Oh, is that so,” Hong Dali touched his chin and suddenly asked, “I say, Old Liu, did you not organize something like a local audition?”
“Local audition?” Liu Mingxin was, as expected, a smart person, he immediately understood what Hong Dali meant. “I’d have forgotten about this should you not have reminded me of it. Yes, it should be properly promoted locally. En, that’s set then. I’ll go make arrangements first. See you.”
“See you.”

第三百零一章
“慕容狄，败了？”
激斗上百招，最终结局令众人吃惊。
慕容狄的实力不可谓不强，可是李浮尘却隐藏了实力，直到此时才爆发。
这已经不能用黑马来形容李浮尘了，应该用潜龙来形容。
潜龙不出则以，一出必惊动天下。
除了雷霆王星司徒雷，其余绝顶天骄都震惊，事前说过李浮尘不可能是慕容狄对手的金鞭王星金旭东脸皮抽动，旋即他嘿嘿一笑，“略胜半线，赢得倒是侥幸。”
天罡大阵内众人震惊，天罡大阵外，观战之人更震惊。 欧阳问天赵无尽等人目瞪口呆。
尽管他们知道李浮尘实力很强，但没想到强到如此程度，连六公子之一的慕容狄都被挑下马来。
天星宗，天星宗宗主慕容霸天脸色阴沉。
慕容狄的落败，实在太出人意料了。
赛前，慕容狄的计划可是保十进五，意思是，最差也要进入前十，争取进入前五。
“我败了？” 慕容狄低头看了看血肉模糊的胸口，眼中尽是不敢相信以及愤怒。
他堂堂六公子之一，享尽荣光，被认为有着希望达到脱胎境巅峰，居然败给了一个一星根骨，赛前，他的最低目标可是前十。
“不可能，我不会输。”
慕容狄站了起来，身上气势更盛，且带着一股血腥杀伐气息。
他不甘失败。
也不愿失败。 尤其是败给李浮尘。
李浮尘眼神冰冷。 他的意识优势，只发挥了很小的一部分，如果他愿意的话，完全可以重伤对方。
“慕容狄，这一战，关乎我们六公子的荣誉，莫要再失手了。” 天罡石柱上，夏侯川冷漠道。
咧着嘴，慕容狄身上的气息，迅速转变成了血色。
轰！
一个血色虚影，骤然出现，使得慕容狄的气势，攀升到一个顶点。
四星秘法残阳血罡。
这门秘法在平常时候，不如四星秘法繁星秘法，可是若使用者受伤，或者选择自残的情况下，却可以发挥出超越繁星秘法的威力。
没错，慕容狄身兼两大四星秘法，且两大四星秘法，都修炼到接近圆满的层次。
形体稍稍枯槁，丝丝缕缕的血液配合真气，转化成了残阳血罡，慕容狄的气息，变得如同恶鬼一般，具有恐怖的威慑力，心灵意志稍弱之人，只怕面对慕容狄的勇气都没有。
“李浮尘，给我死来。”
身化血虹，慕容狄朝着李浮尘激射而去，手中铁扇，血色罡气飞舞，悍然挥出。
依旧是玄级高阶杀招无相回转，但是这次的回旋罡气，更为的霸道，更为的血腥，更为的极端，仿佛一个绞肉机一样，要把李浮尘绞成血泥，与此同时，带着血色气息的风力，吹到对面几根天罡石柱上，那几个站在上面的宗门天骄，脸色狂变，连忙运转护体真气，避免被风力影响，以及被风力中的血腥意境影响。
“既然如此，那我便让你败得心服口服。” 李浮尘动了。
无法形容李浮尘的动作。
李浮尘的身影，似乎变得虚幻一般，硬生生切入到回旋罡气的间隙之处。
这间隙之处，是无相回转的破绽。
一般人，就算察觉到破绽，也无法利用，可李浮尘能利用，强大的意识，让他避开了罡气的绞杀，来到一个相对安全的地带，这个地带是无相回转的盲点。
这一切，是在电光火石之间发生的，哪怕是雷霆王星司徒雷，都没看出其中细节，只是觉得有些不对劲。
“炎魔之角。”
身处回旋罡气其中一点，李浮尘一剑骤然刺出。
几乎化为实质的赤色独角虚影，钻破回旋罡气，钻破慕容狄的护体真气，把对方来了一个对穿。
干脆利落，凶悍暴力。
这一刻，李浮尘给人的感觉便是如此。
身形被挑起，慕容狄惊惧万分，他都不明白发生了什么事情。
唰！
玄光剑一挥，慕容狄直接被李浮尘甩飞了出去，胸口鲜血喷溅如泉，战力全失。
“好强大的意识，这就是他被第一奇武者收为亲传弟子的理由吗？”
天罡大阵内，众人看不穿，天罡大阵外，众脱胎境武者以及天罡境巅峰武者却看得清清楚楚。
欧阳问天和赵无尽对视一眼。
两人心中都有惊异，很显然，李浮尘，他们也看不透了。
这种意识，可不是地煞境武者该拥有的。
“还是败了，哎，六公子败了一个，不知道谁会是下一个。”
“开玩笑吧！ 慕容狄毕竟年轻尚浅，今年才二十三岁，其它公子可不会这么轻易落败。”
“我就随便说说，毕竟李浮尘的表现太震撼了。”
众人的确不认为李浮尘能战胜其他的公子。
六公子之首的长春公子滕青云，上届星榜排名第五，实力深不可测，李浮尘绝对不会是对手。
飞剑公子骆飞云，上届星榜排名第十一，一手飞剑秘法，例不虚发，李浮尘也不会是对手。
狂风公子韩一鸣，上届星榜排名第十二，轻功身法，仅次于雷霆王星司徒雷和三绝仙子江若柳，同样不可能输给李浮尘。
斗灵公子夏侯川，上届星榜排名第十五，战斗风格类似不动王星齐恒，以不变应万变，李浮尘想要战胜他，也没那么容易。
至于龙剑公子赤羽业，从上届星榜排名来看，和慕容狄最接近，一个排名第三十五，一个排名第二十八，可是赤羽业可是号称拥有第一等的天赋潜力，如果不是年纪尚浅，足以和雷霆王星司徒雷争锋，实力只怕也不是慕容狄能比的。
相比较来说，夏侯川还好战胜一点，至少有着一些希望。
“太霸气了。” 赵无尽一旁，赵明月脸上露出一丝迷醉之色。
她的心，第一次剧烈跳动起来。 这是前所未有的事情。
慕容霸天深吸一口气，努力抑制住不爽之意。 “丢人！”
夏侯川面露不屑，随即扫了一眼李浮尘，眼神睥睨。
战胜了慕容狄，李浮尘脚底下天罡石柱上，天罡战气翻滚，逐渐有了巨蟒的形态，嘶嘶声也洪亮了许多，颇有翻云覆雨，叱咤风云的味道。
二十九连胜，三十连胜。
李浮尘的步伐，一刻未曾停止。
到目前为止，保持三十连胜的人只剩下十数个人，其中有几人运气比较好，一直没有遇到强敌，不然的话，这个数量还要更少一些。

Chapter 301
"Murong Di was defeated?"
After more than 100 intense exchanges, the final result was shocking.
Murong Di's ability was formidable, but Li Fuchen had been hiding his ability and only burst out now.
Li Fuchen couldn't be described as a dark horse anymore, he should be described as a hidden dragon.
It was fine if the hidden dragon didn't appear, but it would shock the world once it emerged.
Apart from the Thunderous King Star, Situ Lei, the rest of the elite prodigies were astonished. Golden Whip King Star, Jin Xudong's face was now twitching as he said that it was impossible for Li Fuchen to defeat Murong Di. He immediately laughed, "He barely won. Luck must have been on his side."
Everyone inside the Heaven Dipper Great Array were astonished, but those observers outside of the array were even more shocked. Ouyang Wentian, Zhao Wujin, and the others were flabbergasted.
Despite the fact that they already known that Li Fuchen had a very competent ability, but they didn't expect it to be at this level. Even one of the Six Young Masters, Murong Di had been taken down.
Celestial Star Sect's Patriarch, Murong Batian had on a gloomy expression.
Murong Di's defeat was truly an unexpected surprise.
Before the tournament, Murong Di's plan was to guarantee the 10th and enter the 5th. It meant that he was minimally going to make it into the top ten and would strive to make it to the top five.
"I am defeated?" Murong Di looked down at his bloodied chest and had on eyes of disbelief and anguish.
He who was one of the Six Young Masters, one who had enjoyed limitless glory and people expected him to reach the peak level of Reincarnation Realm, but he had lost to a 1-star bone frame. Before the tournament, his bare minimum goal was to reach the top ten ranks.
"Impossible, I cannot lose."
Murong Di stood up. His qi presence burst out even more and it reeked of blood and murderous intent.
He wasn't willing to accept failure and he didn't wish to fail either.
"Do you still want to carry on?" Li Fuchen had icy cold eyes.
Li Fuchen had superior awareness and had only utilized a portion of it. If he wanted it, he could totally deal a serious injury to Murong Di.
"Murong Di, this match involved the honor and glory of our Six Young Masters. Do not fail." On the Heaven Dipper Stone Pillar, Xiahou Chuan spoke indifferently.
As Murong Di was grinning, his qi presence swiftly turned blood red in color.
Boom!
A blood-color shadow suddenly appeared, which caused Murong Di's qi presence to reach his limits.
The 4-star secret technique, Destructive Yang Blood Dipper.
During normal situations, this secret technique wasn't as good as the Vast Stars Secret Technique. But if the practitioner was injured or had chosen to mutilate themselves, the Destructive Yang Blood Dipper would exhibit power that was greater than the Vast Stars Secret Technique.
That's right, Murong Di had two different 4-star secret technique and both of them were nearly at the completion rank.
Traces of blood oozed out from his languid body and combined with his qi to transmute into the Destructive Yang Blood Dipper. Murong Di's qi presence was just like a malicious spirit which had a horrific deterrence power. Those with a weak spirit will, wouldn't even have the courage to face against Murong Di.
"Li Fuchen, you shall die."
Turning his body in a rainbow of blood, Murong Di burst towards Li Fuchen while is metal fan which had blood dipper qi fluttering around it was violently brandished.
It was still the mystic class high-tier kill move, Imageless Rotation, but the rotating dipper qi this time was much more tyrannic, bloody, and extreme. It was just like a meat grinder that was going to grind Li Fuchen into mincemeat. At the same time, the wind forces from the blood red qi presence blew onto the Heaven Dipper Stone Pillars. Those prodigies standing on the pillars had a violent change of expression as they frantically circulated their qi protection to avoid being affected by the wind forces and the bloody intent in it.
"Since that is the case, I will make you lose in a convincing manner." Li Fuchen made his move.
There was no way to describe Li Fuchen's maneuvers.
Li Fuchen's figure was like an illusion as he forcefully penetrated into the gap of the rotating dipper qi.
This gap was the Imageless Rotation's flaw.
For normal people, even if they had noticed the flaw, they wouldn't be able to exploit it, but Li Fuchen could. With his powerful awareness, he evaded the dipper qi mincing forces and arrived at a safer zone, which was the blind spot of the Imageless Rotation.
Everything happened as fast as a spark from a flint. Not even the Thunderous King Star, Situ Lei could see the details of it, he merely felt something strange.
"Horn of the Blaze Devil."
Aiming at a point in the rotating dipper qi, Li Fuchen's sword abruptly thrust forward.
A seemingly real scarlet horn appeared. It broke past the rotating dipper qi and Murong Di's qi protection, before piercing through Murong Di's body.
It was direct and efficient, fierce and forceful.
At this moment, this was the feeling that Li Fuchen gave everyone.
As his body was lifted, Murong Di was in extreme terror, as he didn't even know what had happened.
Swish!
With a swing of the black light sword, Murong Di was sent flying by Li Fuchen. His chest was spraying blood like a fountain and he had lost all his combat ability.
"Such a powerful awareness. Is this the reason why he was accepted as a personal disciple under the first Mystic Martial Expert?"
No one in the Heaven Dipper Great Array could see it, but outside the array, those at the Reincarnation Realm and the peak level Heaven Realm martial artists could see it clearly.
Ouyang Wentian and Zhao Wujin looked at each other.
Their hearts were amazed and it was obvious that they didn't know of Li Fuchen's true limits.
Such combat awareness wasn't something that an Earth Realm martial artist should have.
"Sigh, he is still defeated. One of the Six Young Master has been defeated. I wonder who would be the next one?"
"What a jest! Murong Di is still young and only at the age of 23. The other Young Masters will not be defeated this easily."
"I am just casually talking about it. After all, Li Fuchen's performance was too shocking."
Everyone didn't think that Li Fuchen could defeat the other Young Masters.
The top of the Six Young Masters, Young Master Eternal Spring, Teng Qingyun was ranked 5th in the previous tournament and had an immeasurable ability. Li Fuchen was surely not a match for him.
Young Master Flying Sword, Luo Qingyun was ranked 11th previously. His Flying Sword Secret Technique had never missed its target. Li Fuchen wasn't going to be enough to defeat him.
Young Master Gale, Han Yiming was previously ranked 12th and his light body technique was only second to the Thunderous King Star, Situ Lei, and Tri-Absolute Fairy, Jiang Ruoliu. Similarly, he wouldn't be defeated by Li Fuchen.
Young Master Doulin, Xiahou Chuan was ranked 15th in the previous tournament and his combat style was similar to Immovable King Star, Qi Heng. He reacted to variations with stillness. It wouldn't be so easy for Li Fuchen to defeat him.
As for Young Master Dragon Sword, Chiyu Ye… He might be close to Murong Di in terms of Stars Ranking, as he was ranked 35th, while Murong Di was ranked 28th, but Chiyu Ye was known to have the top class innate potential. If it wasn't for his young age, he would be able to compare with Thunderous King Star, Situ Lei. His current ability might not be something that Murong Di could match up to.
Comparatively, Xiahou Chuan might be easier to defeat. At least, there was some hope.
"So imperious." Beside Zhao Wujin, Zhao Mingyue revealed an intoxicated expression.
This was the first time her heart throbbed so intensively. It was an unprecedented event.
"Di'er" Murong Batian took a deep breath and tried his best to restrain his unpleasant mood.
"Humiliating!" Xiahou Chuan had a look of disdain as he glanced at Li Fuchen with an askance expression.
After defeating Murong Di, Li Fuchen's Heaven Dipper Stone Pillar was rolling with Heaven Dipper Battle Qi and the form of the giant python was more obvious now. The hissing sound was much louder. It felt as though it was shifting the ground while it gave off an all-powerful feeling.
29 consecutive victories, 30 consecutive victories.
Li Fuchen's pace never paused for a moment.
As of now, there were just more than ten individuals who had 30 consecutive victories. There were some who were fortunate enough that they didn't encounter any formidable foes, otherwise, this number might have been even smaller.

Therefore, it was normal that many lawyers neglected this. In Jin Dazhuang’s 20 years of practice, he had barely won once. However, both parties had utilized too many resources and energy that they decided to let it go eventually.\nJin Dazhuang was now shocked though. His face was stormy and he replied, “Sure. Just prove that my client had the intention to use Industries LLC to commit illegal activities before bringing it to court! I’d like to see just exactly how the judge will receive this!”\nZhang Baochen quickly spoke up. “I did nothing of the sort. I can swear to that! I didn’t even know which industry Dacheng Industries would go to. How could I have been guiding them in their operations?”\n“You hear that?” Jin Dazhuang laughed wryly. “Don’t think that you can pretend to be a know-it-all just because you memorized some regulations by heart. Take it to court if you have the guts to!”\nGu Nianzhi smiled as she took out a pile of approved materials and documents, and placed them in front of Jin Dazhuang.\n“Please have a look, Lawyer Jin; these are the materials provided by Dacheng Industries LLC for their plans regarding their project with the army.” She brought out some more documents. “And these are the agreements they’ve signed which state the materials they’ve used and how it made the army incur great losses during training.”\n“These are the investigative documents provided by the third party independent professionals, showing that Dacheng Industries LLC intentionally provided the army with low-grade materials instead of the previously approved ones in the contracts, and that they profited illegally from the business dealings with the army. These backhanded deals were the reason for the injuries to the soldiers during the recent training sessions and the cause of potential threats to the entire country.”\nJin Dazhuang’s face turned as white as a sheet. He took the documents from Gu Nianzhi and read through them quickly, trying to make sense of the entire problem.\n“Well, these alone are not enough to accuse my client of engaging in illegal acts.” Jin Dazhuang knew he was playing the fool, but he was desperate. “Replacing high-grade materials with low-grade ones is too vague an accusation. If we were to bring this to court, they would certainly not sentence my client as guilty of the charge.”\n“Oh, is that so?” Gu Nianzhi smiled and took out the materials provided by Huo Shaoheng.\n“What about these?” Gu Nianzhi handed them to Jin Dazhuang.”The shareholders of Dacheng Industries LLC, Zhao Da, Zhang Feng, and Zhang Baochen had been using different methods to transfer the profits to their personal accounts for the past two years. They have also set up shell corporations in Italy, in preparation of laundering the money they have transferred through those businesses.”\nJin Dazhuang collapsed in his chair and heaved a long sigh. His head spun as he thought:\nBased on the previous evidence, I still had about 70% confidence that I could fight for Zhang Baochen in court and win. However, these final pieces of evidence are too strong. It might impossible to fight after all.\nHe realized that if they were to bring the matter to court, the moment the judge saw the evidence of them preparing to launder money, they would definitely convict the shareholders of using the Dacheng Industrials LLC account for their corrupt practices.\nJin Dazhuang gulped a few times. Then, looking at Gu Nianzhi helplessly, he croaked out, “What if we choose to settle this amicably?”\n“Simple, just sign this.” Gu Nianzhi handed the Assets Investigation form to Jin Dazhuang again, grinning from ear to ear. “Put all the real estate properties on auction and return all the savings in his bank accounts to the army. Only after that, I will plead with the army on your client’s behalf to not bring charges against him.”\nZhang Baochen jumped up from his seat, pointed at Jin Dazhuang, and began raging at him. “Are you mad?! You’re my lawyer for god’s sake! Why did you agree to everything she said? All these assets are mine! MINE! Why should I pay for that d*mn company?! I didn’t even know what they got into in the first place!”\nGu Nianzhi lowered her head and dug around her documents. She found a duplicate document with Zhang Baochen’s signature and pushed it over to him.\n“Mr. Zhang, please look at the document. Your signature is on it. There’s your thumbprint too.”\n“What d*mn document?” Zhang Baochen took the document and opened it. He jumped up from his seat once again and yelled: “Th-Thi-This…I don’t remember signing something like this!”\nThe document that he had signed was a letter of authorization. It stated the authorization of Dacheng Industries LLC to open a branch office in Italy. The only motive for opening a nameless branch office in Italy would have been to avoid all investigations and audits in the country and to approve the transferring of most of the assets from the two families overseas to launder.\n“It’s okay if you don’t remember. The only thing you must confirm is whether or not the signature and thumbprint on the document is yours, ” Gu Nianzhi said casually. “The law only recognizes evidence. However, you seem to think that it isn’t very relevant to the case.”\nZhang Baochen began to tremble. The corners of his mouth twitched continuously. He actually remembered now—his wife was the one who had brought him the document. At the time, she’d said it was regarding Dacheng Industries, so he signed…but!\nThrowing the document onto the ground with a furious smack, Zhang Baochen said angrily, “My wife asked me to sign this! I really don’t know what went on at all! How can you push the blame on me just like that?!”\n“Mr. Zhang, you are a grown adult. You have to be responsible for your actions. Do you think you don’t have to bear any responsibilities just because you said you don’t know what was going on? Must the army take responsibility for your stupidity then?” It took Gu Nianzhi so much effort to not roll her eyes at him.\n“Lawyer Jin, do you understand now?” Gu Nianzhi chose to communicate with Jin Dazhuang instead. “By saying that Dacheng Industries ‘accumulated more liabilities than the assets they have,” to allow them to use their own assets to pay it off, is the army’s way of giving respect to the Official. Your client is just a minor shareholder; all he has to do is pay back the losses to the army. The major shareholders for Dacheng—Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Dacheng—had intentionally cheated the army. Not only will they have to return the illegal profits they’d taken, but the army will be bringing them to court as well. Even if they were to announce their company as bankrupt, nothing will help.”\nThis was a criminal act. Therefore, they would have to face the legal consequences. They would not get away with it just because they had only been the shareholders.\nZhang Baochen finally understood. Grabbing hold of Jin Dazhuang, he said nervously, “Lawyer Jin, I don’t want to go to jail! I don’t want to go to jail! Help me with the case! I will do anything!”\nHe didn’t mind being bankrupt so long as he didn’t have to go to jail.\nGu Nianzhi stifled a laugh and pushed the Assets Investigation Form towards him. “Me. Zhang, just sign this. According to your shares, you only have to bear 265 million out of the losses of 5.3 billion in total. Selling all the assets under your name, plus the savings you have in your bank accounts, should be almost enough.”\nJin Dazhuang sighed and continued to speak some sense into Zhang Baochen. “You don’t really have any other options. Just do as Miss Gu says; you won’t have to go to jail if you do that.”\nDue to the fact that Zhang Baochen only had a small portion of the shares and had not participated in managing the company, all he had to do was to surrender all the dividends he’d taken in the past. The army would not be too hard on a minor shareholder.\nHowever, their main targets were Zhao Da and Zhang Feng.\nZhao Da went pale as he listened on from the side and called out to Zhang Baochen eventually when he couldn’t hold back any longer. “Baochen, can’t you go and beg Official Huo? I thought he had been set to marry your mother?”\nZhang Baochen turned around and stopped him furiously. “Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense!”\nZhao Da knew the marriage must have fallen through and began to panic even more. His hands gripped the sofa he was sitting on until his knuckles turned white.\n“I really won’t have to go to jail as long as I pay up?!” Zhang Baochen ignored Zhao Da. He looked at Jin Dazhuang earnestly, eyes as big as saucers. “Lawyer Jin, can you guarantee it?”\nJin Dazhuang looked at Gu Nianzhi. “Miss Gu, if my client compensates the money, can the army provide my client with a Letter of Waiver, please?”\nThis way, he wouldn’t be sued.\nGu Nianzhi nodded with confidence. “That’s definite. As long as he compensates his share, I will personally get the Letter of Waiver for him.”\nZhang Baochen heaved a huge sigh of relief and told Jin Dazhuang, “Lawyer Jin, please calculate all my assets for me.”\nHowever, when one ate more than they could handle, it would be impossible to escape the consequences.\nZhang Baochen took the pen and signed the form. He also signed the agreement to auction his real estate properties.\nGu Nianzhi placed the documents and forms carefully into her briefcase and bid her goodbyes.\nComing out from the office, Gu Nianzhi stood in front of the lift and was having a conversation with Zhao Liangze as she waited.\nJust then, the lift doors opened and, wearing a Camel brown woolen shirt and cream-colored slacks, He Zhichu stood right in front of them.\nInstinctively, Gu Nianzhi took a step backwards.\nIt was the first time they were meeting since she’d had a falling out with him at his place. How awkward."

第345章
可问题是，法人人格否认制度这一条例外，说起来容易，要实行起来却是非常困难的。
因为这得通过非常复杂的法律程序才能认定股东是通过LLC进行违法活动，而不是LLC本身经营不善。
这条规定很少在现实环境下运用，基本上不具备可行性，因此被大部分律师忽略也是有原因的。 以金大状从业二十年的经验来看，只有一次勉强打赢了，但双方费了太多力气，最后都是得不偿失。
因此金大状只愣了一下，就马上沉下脸说：“好啊，你先证明我的当事人有意通过达成实业进行违法活动，再到法庭上去告，看看法官怎么判！”
章宝辰连忙说：“我可没有这么做过，我可以发誓！ 达成实业到底是干嘛的我都不知道，从来没有插手过它的经营管理！”
“听见了吗？” 金大状冷笑，“别以为知道一些法律条文就可以在我面前指手画脚。 有种你去告啊！”
顾念之笑了笑，将一沓标了蓝签的材料拿出来，放到金大状面前。
“金律师请看，这是达成实业跟军部做的那几笔军需生意的合同。”
“这里是达成公司提供的产品在部队的训练中造成的严重损失。” “这里是第三方独立专家调查之后得出的结论，达成实业在供货中有意识的以次充好，中饱私囊，从军需生意中牟取不恰当的巨额利润，对士兵造成伤害，对我们国家的安全造成隐患。”
金大状的脸色一下子白得像纸，他将顾念之提供的材料拿过来，一份份翻开，飞快地查看来龙去脉。
“就这些，也不能说我的当事人就违法了。” 金大状看了半天，还是硬着头皮说道：“以次充好这种话，太过主观，如果上法庭打官司，我就不信法官会因此判断我的当事人有违法行为。”
“是吗？” 顾念之笑了笑，将霍绍恒提供的材料拿了出来，这才是最重磅的证据。
“那你看看这个呢？” 顾念之递给金大状，“达成实业的股东赵达、章枫和章宝辰这两年内陆续将公司里面的现金用各种手段转到私人账户，同时在意大利设了一个空壳公司，准备通过达成实业的银行账号转账洗钱。”
金大状一下子瘫坐在椅子上，长长地吁了口气。
如果前面的证据，他还可以强辩一下，有七成的把握法庭会倾向章宝辰。 可顾念之最后抛出来的证据，却是无论如何也洗不白了。
如果真的去告，法庭一看准备洗钱的证据，肯定会判定达成实业的股东是利用LLC进行不法行为来敛财了。
金大状艰难地咽了几口口水，目光呆滞地看向顾念之：“……如果我们选择和解呢？” “很简单，把这个签了。”
顾念之笑眯眯地将那资产调查表又推了过来，“然后将这份调查表上的所有不动产拍卖，银行账户里的现金全部归还给军部，我会向军部求情，不起诉你的当事人。” 金大状苍白着脸点点头：“好，我答应了。”
我的！ 我为什么要为那什么破公司还债？ 我连他们欠了什么债都不知道！”
顾念之低头从自己的材料里找了一通，找到一份有章宝辰签名的文件复印件，推到会议桌的另一端。
“章先生，你自己看，这份文件上有你的签名，还有指纹。”
章宝辰莫名其妙地接了过来，翻开来看了一下，马上跳起来叫道：“这这这……我不记得我签过这样的文件啊！”
这份文件是授权书，授权给达成实业在意大利开分公司，而那个分公司的唯一目的，就是为了逃避在国内进行的审计，将两家的大部分财产汇往国外洗钱。 “你不记得不要紧，你只要确定这上面是你的亲笔签名，还有这里的指纹是你的指纹就可以了。”
顾念之轻描淡写地说，“法律只认证据，你心里是怎么想的，跟这个案子没有多大关系。”
没想到是个坑！
章宝辰气得将那份文件啪地一声扔到桌上，恼怒地说：“这都是我妻子让我签的！ 我完全不知道是怎么回事！
这怎么能怪到我头上？” “章先生，你是一个成年人，要对自己的言行举止负责。 你说一句不知道就能推卸责任了？
“金律师，你现在明白了吧？” 顾念之选择跟金大状沟通，“军部审计署说达成实业‘资不抵债’，让他们用私产偿还，是给首长面子。
他们不仅要倾家荡产，而且要坐牢。” 这是犯罪行为，要承担法律责任，不是说你是股东就能免责。
章宝辰这时才明白过来，拉着金大状紧张地说：“金律师，我不想坐牢！ 我不想坐牢啊！
只要能不坐牢，他就算倾家荡产也无所谓。
按照你的股份，你在军方53亿损失中，承担的份额是2.65亿。 把你名下的所有物业都卖了，再加上你的银行存款，就差不多了。”

章宝辰猛地回头说：“你闭嘴！ 没有的事！
赵达一听就明白大概是婚事黄了，脸色更加难看，他的手渐渐用力，将沙发皮套都快抠出洞来了。
！” 章宝辰不再理会赵达，他转身看着金大状，眼睛都快凸出来了，“金律师，你能不能保证啊？”
金大状看了看顾念之：“顾小姐，如果我的当事人把钱赔上，请问军部能不能给我的当事人一个免责书？”
这样就不会控告他了。
顾念之肯定地点头：“一定，只要把钱都补上，我去给他申请免责书。”
章宝辰这才长吁一口气，对金大状说：“那麻烦金律师帮我算算我所有的财产。”
不过吃了不属于自己的东西，肯定是要吐出来的。
章宝辰拿起笔，在那份资产调查表上签字，同时也签署了同意拍卖房产的授权书。
顾念之收好章宝辰签了字的文件和表格，放到自己的公文包里，站起来告辞离去。
她和赵良泽从君临律师事务所的大门出来，来到电梯门口站定，小声闲聊着，等着电梯上来。
没多久，电梯叮铃一声响，电梯门打开，何之初穿着一身驼色羊绒半长大衣，长身玉立地出现在他们面前。
顾念之下意识往后退了一步。
这还是自从上一次她跟何之初在他家冲突之后，第一次见面。

Chapter 345 - A Huge Blow
Nyoi-Bo Studio This legal personality Denial System Regulation was not exactly simple to execute.
They would have to go through many complicated legal proceedings before being able to confirm that the shareholder was the one who had used the LLC to commit illegal activities, and that the LLC itself was not under the direction of incompetent management.

Zhang Baochen began to tremble. The corners of his mouth twitched continuously. He actually remembered now—his wife was the one who had brought him the document. At the time, she’d said it was regarding Dacheng Industries, so he signed…but!
Throwing the document onto the ground with a furious smack, Zhang Baochen said angrily, “My wife asked me to sign this! I really don’t know what went on at all! How can you push the blame on me just like that?!”
“Mr. Zhang, you are a grown adult. You have to be responsible for your actions. Do you think you don’t have to bear any responsibilities just because you said you don’t know what was going on? Must the army take responsibility for your stupidity then?” It took Gu Nianzhi so much effort to not roll her eyes at him.
“Lawyer Jin, do you understand now?” Gu Nianzhi chose to communicate with Jin Dazhuang instead. “By saying that Dacheng Industries ‘accumulated more liabilities than the assets they have,” to allow them to use their own assets to pay it off, is the army’s way of giving respect to the Official. Your client is just a minor shareholder; all he has to do is pay back the losses to the army. The major shareholders for Dacheng—Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Dacheng—had intentionally cheated the army. Not only will they have to return the illegal profits they’d taken, but the army will be bringing them to court as well. Even if they were to announce their company as bankrupt, nothing will help.”
This was a criminal act. Therefore, they would have to face the legal consequences. They would not get away with it just because they had only been the shareholders.
Zhang Baochen finally understood. Grabbing hold of Jin Dazhuang, he said nervously, “Lawyer Jin, I don’t want to go to jail! I don’t want to go to jail! Help me with the case! I will do anything!”
He didn’t mind being bankrupt so long as he didn’t have to go to jail.
Gu Nianzhi stifled a laugh and pushed the Assets Investigation Form towards him. “Me. Zhang, just sign this. According to your shares, you only have to bear 265 million out of the losses of 5.3 billion in total. Selling all the assets under your name, plus the savings you have in your bank accounts, should be almost enough.”
Jin Dazhuang sighed and continued to speak some sense into Zhang Baochen. “You don’t really have any other options. Just do as Miss Gu says; you won’t have to go to jail if you do that.”
Due to the fact that Zhang Baochen only had a small portion of the shares and had not participated in managing the company, all he had to do was to surrender all the dividends he’d taken in the past. The army would not be too hard on a minor shareholder.
However, their main targets were Zhao Da and Zhang Feng.
Zhao Da went pale as he listened on from the side and called out to Zhang Baochen eventually when he couldn’t hold back any longer. “Baochen, can’t you go and beg Official Huo? I thought he had been set to marry your mother?”
Zhang Baochen turned around and stopped him furiously. “Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense!”
Zhao Da knew the marriage must have fallen through and began to panic even more. His hands gripped the sofa he was sitting on until his knuckles turned white.
“I really won’t have to go to jail as long as I pay up?!” Zhang Baochen ignored Zhao Da. He looked at Jin Dazhuang earnestly, eyes as big as saucers. “Lawyer Jin, can you guarantee it?”
Jin Dazhuang looked at Gu Nianzhi. “Miss Gu, if my client compensates the money, can the army provide my client with a Letter of Waiver, please?”
This way, he wouldn’t be sued.
Gu Nianzhi nodded with confidence. “That’s definite. As long as he compensates his share, I will personally get the Letter of Waiver for him.”
Zhang Baochen heaved a huge sigh of relief and told Jin Dazhuang, “Lawyer Jin, please calculate all my assets for me.”
However, when one ate more than they could handle, it would be impossible to escape the consequences.
Zhang Baochen took the pen and signed the form. He also signed the agreement to auction his real estate properties.
Gu Nianzhi placed the documents and forms carefully into her briefcase and bid her goodbyes.
Coming out from the office, Gu Nianzhi stood in front of the lift and was having a conversation with Zhao Liangze as she waited.
Just then, the lift doors opened and, wearing a Camel brown woolen shirt and cream-colored slacks, He Zhichu stood right in front of them.
Instinctively, Gu Nianzhi took a step backwards.
It was the first time they were meeting since she’d had a falling out with him at his place. How awkward.

But I’m on an official new year visit here,” Wu Hai said as he took out a bag of melon seeds as his gift.\nThat’s right. Wu Hai was using a bag of melon seeds as his new year gift.\n“No thanks.” Although Yuan Zhou felt like beating someone up, he still answered patiently.\n“Fine. I can’t do anything if you don’t have any left. Do you want to eat some melon seeds?” Wu Hai sat down and lifted the bag of melon seeds.\n“No,” Yuan Zhou directly rejected.\nWu Hai did not seem to mind. Sitting there, he started eating melon seeds while reading a book.\nThis created a rather harmonious scene. After all, Yuan Zhou was also reading a book.\nShortly after, Yuan Zhou heard some noise not far away from the door.\n“Come on, quickly. Boss Yuan has never prepared anything in abundance. If we’re too late, there won’t be anything left.” Someone could be heard rushing the others to walk faster.\n“I know. Stop talking. Go faster.” A different guy interrupted that person. Then, the sounds of their footsteps grew louder.\nIt was obvious that they were walking faster now.\nTa. Ta. Ta. Soon, the two reached the entrance of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.\n“We’re here. Check our stuff.” The two said at the same time.\n“They sound like some customers who had been here before,” Yuan Zhou muttered when he heard their voices.\n“Happy New Year, Boss Yuan,” the two greeted the moment they entered.\nYuan Zhou stood up and greeted them seriously and politely.\n“Happy New Year,” Yuan Zhou said after accepting their gifts.\nYuan Zhou returned their greetings so politely that the two of them was momentarily dumbfounded.\n“What’s going on?” The two exchanged gazes in confusion. Since Yuan Zhou was still standing before them, they did not stay dumbfounded for long. They immediately turned their heads and looked at Yuan Zhou.\n“Boss Yuan is too polite. We will be leaving then,” they bade their goodbyes at the same time.\nAfter all, they weren’t really close with Boss Yuan. Therefore, it was natural for them to leave after the new year greetings.\n“Ok. Travel safe.” Yuan Zhou only sat down after the two left.\n“Since when were you so polite?” Wu Hai asked curiously.\nIn Wu Hai’s heart, although Yuan Zhou was not a person lacking in manners, he was never a person who was excessively polite.\n“I’m a person who abides by the rules of etiquette,” Yuan Zhou gave a simple reply.\nWu Hai was about to keep speaking, but several other people entered the restaurant. Of course, they were here for the same reason.\nThey were here to wish him a happy new year to get a red packet in return. However, the only thing they received was Yuan Zhou’s greetings as well.\nHe was still returning their wishes in an extremely courteous and serious manner.\nDue to how politely he was behaving, these people that were here for red packets felt somewhat embarrassed to ask for red packets.\nSeveral groups of people came and Yuan Zhou returned their greetings in the same manner. This brought Wu Hai endless astonishment.\n“Boss Yuan, are you alright? You haven’t hit your head somewhere, right?” Wu Hai started sizing up Yuan Zhou with a confused look on his face.\nHowever, when he thought about it, he found that Yuan Zhou was right. After all, they were all here for the red packets. Returning their greetings politely was one proper way to deal with them.\n“Boss Yuan, you are truly…” Wu Hai stroked his mustache and did not say much.\n“You don’t have to admire me too much. After all, you are not capable of the same,” Yuan Zhou declared, as if this was a fact.\n“Forget it. It’s the Chinese New Year. I won’t say much because of the red packet. I’ll go back and draw something,” Wu Hai wanted to sneer at Yuan Zhou but when he recalled the red packet he got in the morning, he decided to shut his mouth and leave instead.\nAfter Wu Hai left, people continued to come visiting Yuan Zhou. This was all thanks to the post Ling Hong made on his Weibo. Of course, this wasn’t the type of attention Yuan Zhou himself wanted.\nFinally, at around four when the sky was turning dark, Yuan Zhou had some free time for himself.\n“System, I want to receive the reward now. I’ll directly look at the contents of the reward,” Yuan Zhou spoke in his mind.\nThe system displayed, “The reward has been released and is now available to be checked.”\n(Mission tips: As a to-be Master Chef, obtaining peak popularity is only the first step.

A multiple-choice question appeared, allowing Yuan Zhou to pick his own reward.\nThe system displayed, “The host may upgrade an existing regional cuisine, such as the Jin’ling Regional Cuisine, the Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine that was a subcategory of Sichuan Cuisine, or the host may also opt to draw for a prize instead. This time, half of the eight famous regional cuisines are also part of the prize pool. Host, please make your choice.”\nYuan Zhou was somewhat stupefied as he looked at the reward options. This was the first time the system was so generous. After all, even though luck would be a factor when drawing for his reward, this reward was still much more generous than what he had gotten in the past.\nThe guaranteed upgrade of an existing cuisine was even more generous.\n“If I choose to upgrade, I will get the complete set of the side dishes, right?” Yuan Zhou guessed.\nThe system displayed, “Unable to estimate.”\n“Do you mean it’s completely dependent on luck? Yuan Zhou asked while rubbing his chin.\nThe system stayed silent, seemingly agreeing to what Yuan Zhou was saying.\n“I have always been lucky. If so, my choice is…” Yuan Zhou deliberately paused for a bit before saying, “upgrade the Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine.”\nYuan Zhou was not afraid that his choice would backfire on him. Calmly, he waited for the system to give him his reward.\n“There are quite a lot of side dishes in the complete set. Dumplings, steamed buns, and wontons. Looks like I have everything now.” Yuan Zhou felt very proud of his smart choice.\n“Let’s make some Spicy Wontons for dinner.” Yuan Zhou immediately decided on his dinner. Since there weren’t a lot of people today, this would be a perfect dish for dinner.\nThe moment Yuan Zhou thought about the layer of aromatic and numbingly hot chili oil on top of the bowl, the clear and limpid soup underneath, and the white wontons ebbing up and down in the soup, his desire to eat it grew.\n“It has been a while since I ate it,” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.\nRight this moment, the system suddenly appeared.\nThe system displayed, “As the host is still a junior Master of Cooked Wheaten Food, you are still not allowed to redeem the side dishes in the set. The host will only be allowed to redeem them after reaching the intermediate level.”\n“What the f*ck? What in the world? Why didn’t you mention that earlier before I choose this reward?” Yuan Zhou was very dissatisfied, “Where’s my promised happiness?”\nOnce again, the system went inactive and ignored him.\n“My dear system, you won’t feel good if you don’t scam me at least once per day, right? If I can’t redeem it, why did you even showed it to me? Just to look at it?” Even though today was the first day of Chinese New Year, Yuan Zhou still couldn’t help but cuss.\nThen, Yuan Zhou recalled that he still had a lot of wheaten food books to read. Immediately, his heart felt cold.\n“Scamming system.”"

下午时分，袁州还是没来及看系统的奖励礼包，以为补完觉的乌海来了。
“早上已经给了，一人一个。”
可是我现在是正式拜年。” 乌海说着还拿出一袋子瓜子出来。
没错就是瓜子，乌海提着一袋瓜子，说是正式拜年。
袁州心里想打人，但还是很克制的说道。
“那行，没了就算了，吃瓜子不？” 乌海一屁股坐下，然后举了举手上的瓜子。 “不用。”
袁州直接拒绝。
乌海也不在意，就坐在椅子上，一边吃着瓜子，一边看着书。
一时之间还是很和谐的，毕竟袁州也是在看书。
不一会，袁州就听见门外不远的地方传来一阵声音。
“走走走，快走，袁老板那里的东西就没多过，别去的太晚，一会没了。” 有人催促的声音从远处传来。
“知道了，别多说，快走。” 另一个男音直接打断这人的话，然后脚步声大了起来。
听得出来这是加快了脚步。
“踏踏踏”两人急促的脚步声很快就到了袁州小店的门口。
“到了，检查一下东西怎么样。” 两人异口同声的说道。
“好像是来过的食客。” 袁州听到声音，心里暗道。
两人一进门，也不说别的，直接就开始拜年。
“哗”袁州也反应奇快的起身，直接拿出双手做了一个揖礼，客气而认真。
“两位也过年好。”
两人对视一眼，眼里露出相应的疑惑。
因为还在人前，两人并没有愣神多久，立刻回过头看着袁州。
“袁老板客气了，那我们就先走了。” 两人异口同声的开始道别。
毕竟他们之间不熟，拜个年留下东西自然就该走了。
袁州直到人走了，这才坐下。 边上的乌海一脸惊奇的看着袁州。
“圆规你什么时候这么多礼了？” 乌海好奇的问道。
是的，在乌海心里袁州虽然不失礼，但从不是一个多礼的人。
“礼仪之邦。”
就在乌海还要问的时候，门外又进来了几个人，来人的目的自然还是一样的。
拜年拿红包，但每个来拜年的人袁州都一一回礼。
还是一样客气认真的样子。
这下子这些为了红包来的人自然也都不好再问了。
“袁老板你没事吧？ 别是傻了吧。”
乌海左看看袁州，右看看袁州，一脸的难以理解。
不过转念一想，袁州做的还挺对的，毕竟别人是为了红包来的，而且还是拜年，回个礼倒是最不失礼的做法。 “袁老板你真是。”
乌海摸着小胡子并没有多说。
“不用太佩服我，毕竟你做不来。” 袁州说这句话的时候，是纯粹的陈述句。
“算了，大过年的，看在红包的份上，我就先回去画画了。” 乌海本想说个呵呵，但是想了想早上到手的红包，果断的闭嘴回去了。
乌海一走，陆陆续续的还是有人过来拜年，这完全是归功于凌宏的微博关注，虽然袁州并不想要这样的关注。
好不容易，等到四点多，天都快黑的时候，袁州终于有了空闲。
“系统，领取一下礼包，直接查看。” 袁州干脆的在脑海里说道。
系统现字：“礼包已发放，可查看。”
（任务说明：作为未来的厨神，全省最知名只是刚刚踏出的第一步而已，请宿主努力做到全省最知名的程度，加油，青年。
（奖励说明：完成任务后抽取即可知晓。
“打开礼包。” 袁州看着脑海里的那个简单包裹，心里酝酿了一秒这才开口。
随着袁州说完，礼包直接就打开了。
不过，这次的奖励比较奇怪，是一个选择题。
没错，就是一个选择题，让袁州自己选择这次的奖励。
系统现字：“宿主可自行选择升级现有小种菜系，比如金陵菜系或者蓉派川菜，反之宿主可选择抽奖，此次抽奖有可能会抽中八大菜系中的半个菜系，请宿主自行选择。”
袁州看着这个奖励选项有些懵逼，这还是系统第一次这么大方，毕竟就是带有赌博性质的抽奖，都比以往的奖励多些。
更不用说是保险的升级现有菜系了，这更是大方。
“升级菜系会得到全部的配套小吃对吗？” 袁州猜测道。
系统现字：“是的。”
“你这意思是说看人品吗？” 袁州摸着下巴问道。
而这次系统没出声，好似是认可了袁州看人品的说法。
“我的人品一向很好，那么就选择……”袁州故意停顿了一会才接着开口说道“就选择升级蓉派川菜吧。”
这弯转的，袁州也不怕翻车，而是淡定的等着系统发放奖励。
发放奖励这事，系统还是做的很快的，袁州眯眼整理了一下新得到的菜谱。 “配套的小吃还挺多的，水饺、包子、抄手看来都齐活了。” 袁州不禁为自己的英明决定而得意。
“今晚做个麻辣抄手好了。” 袁州直接决定了今晚的菜品，人不多，做这个也好。
何况袁州一想起抄手上面一层麻辣鲜香的红油，底下是清澈如水的汤汁，而白生生好似一只只剥壳菱角的抄手在红汤里浮沉的样子，就有些忍不住想吃了。
“确实很久没吃了。” 袁州心里暗道。
然而这个时候系统突然出现。
系统现字：“鉴于宿主还是初级面点大师，配套小吃还不可领取，当宿主升级为中级后即可领取。”
fuck，什么鬼，刚刚决定奖励的时候可没说这个。” 袁州很是不满:“说好的幸福呢？”
然而系统进入冬眠，直接毫无反应。
“系统啊系统，你一天不坑你就不舒服是吧，不能领取你显出小吃名单给我做什么，干看着吗。” 哪怕是年初一，袁州也忍不住吐槽。
顺便想了想自己屋里还有那么多的面点书籍没看，袁州更是心拔凉拔凉的。
“坑货系统。”

It was now noon, yet Yuan Zhou still did not have the chance to check his reward as Wu Hai had arrived after his nap.
“I gave it all out during the morning,” Yuan Zhou frankly answered.
“No way. But I’m on an official new year visit here,” Wu Hai said as he took out a bag of melon seeds as his gift.
That’s right. Wu Hai was using a bag of melon seeds as his new year gift.
“No thanks.” Although Yuan Zhou felt like beating someone up, he still answered patiently.
“Fine. I can’t do anything if you don’t have any left. Do you want to eat some melon seeds?” Wu Hai sat down and lifted the bag of melon seeds.
“No,” Yuan Zhou directly rejected.
Wu Hai did not seem to mind. Sitting there, he started eating melon seeds while reading a book.
This created a rather harmonious scene. After all, Yuan Zhou was also reading a book.
Shortly after, Yuan Zhou heard some noise not far away from the door.
“Come on, quickly. Boss Yuan has never prepared anything in abundance. If we’re too late, there won’t be anything left.” Someone could be heard rushing the others to walk faster.
“I know. Stop talking. Go faster.” A different guy interrupted that person. Then, the sounds of their footsteps grew louder.
It was obvious that they were walking faster now.
Ta. Ta. Ta. Soon, the two reached the entrance of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
“We’re here. Check our stuff.” The two said at the same time.
“They sound like some customers who had been here before,” Yuan Zhou muttered when he heard their voices.
“Happy New Year, Boss Yuan,” the two greeted the moment they entered.
Yuan Zhou stood up and greeted them seriously and politely.
“Happy New Year,” Yuan Zhou said after accepting their gifts.
Yuan Zhou returned their greetings so politely that the two of them was momentarily dumbfounded.
“What’s going on?” The two exchanged gazes in confusion. Since Yuan Zhou was still standing before them, they did not stay dumbfounded for long. They immediately turned their heads and looked at Yuan Zhou.
“Boss Yuan is too polite. We will be leaving then,” they bade their goodbyes at the same time.
After all, they weren’t really close with Boss Yuan. Therefore, it was natural for them to leave after the new year greetings.
“Ok. Travel safe.” Yuan Zhou only sat down after the two left.
“Since when were you so polite?” Wu Hai asked curiously.
In Wu Hai’s heart, although Yuan Zhou was not a person lacking in manners, he was never a person who was excessively polite.
“I’m a person who abides by the rules of etiquette,” Yuan Zhou gave a simple reply.
Wu Hai was about to keep speaking, but several other people entered the restaurant. Of course, they were here for the same reason.
They were here to wish him a happy new year to get a red packet in return. However, the only thing they received was Yuan Zhou’s greetings as well.
He was still returning their wishes in an extremely courteous and serious manner.
Due to how politely he was behaving, these people that were here for red packets felt somewhat embarrassed to ask for red packets.
Several groups of people came and Yuan Zhou returned their greetings in the same manner. This brought Wu Hai endless astonishment.
“Boss Yuan, are you alright? You haven’t hit your head somewhere, right?” Wu Hai started sizing up Yuan Zhou with a confused look on his face.
However, when he thought about it, he found that Yuan Zhou was right. After all, they were all here for the red packets. Returning their greetings politely was one proper way to deal with them.

“You don’t have to admire me too much. After all, you are not capable of the same,” Yuan Zhou declared, as if this was a fact.
“Forget it. It’s the Chinese New Year. I won’t say much because of the red packet. I’ll go back and draw something,” Wu Hai wanted to sneer at Yuan Zhou but when he recalled the red packet he got in the morning, he decided to shut his mouth and leave instead.
After Wu Hai left, people continued to come visiting Yuan Zhou. This was all thanks to the post Ling Hong made on his Weibo. Of course, this wasn’t the type of attention Yuan Zhou himself wanted.
Finally, at around four when the sky was turning dark, Yuan Zhou had some free time for himself.
“System, I want to receive the reward now. I’ll directly look at the contents of the reward,” Yuan Zhou spoke in his mind.
The system displayed, “The reward has been released and is now available to be checked.”
(Mission tips: As a to-be Master Chef, obtaining peak popularity is only the first step. Host, please work hard to become the most most popular chef of the province. Work hard, young man.)
(Reward tips: You will know when you get it after completing the mission.)
Yuan Zhou first looked at the gift package and took one second to prepare himself before saying, “Open the gift package.”
After Yuan Zhou said that, the gift package was opened.
However, the reward this time was quite odd as a multiple-choice question appeared.
That’s right. A multiple-choice question appeared, allowing Yuan Zhou to pick his own reward.
The system displayed, “The host may upgrade an existing regional cuisine, such as the Jin’ling Regional Cuisine, the Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine that was a subcategory of Sichuan Cuisine, or the host may also opt to draw for a prize instead. This time, half of the eight famous regional cuisines are also part of the prize pool. Host, please make your choice.”
Yuan Zhou was somewhat stupefied as he looked at the reward options. This was the first time the system was so generous. After all, even though luck would be a factor when drawing for his reward, this reward was still much more generous than what he had gotten in the past.
The guaranteed upgrade of an existing cuisine was even more generous.
“If I choose to upgrade, I will get the complete set of the side dishes, right?” Yuan Zhou guessed.
The system displayed, “Unable to estimate.”
“Do you mean it’s completely dependent on luck? Yuan Zhou asked while rubbing his chin.
The system stayed silent, seemingly agreeing to what Yuan Zhou was saying.
“I have always been lucky. If so, my choice is…” Yuan Zhou deliberately paused for a bit before saying, “upgrade the Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine.”
Yuan Zhou was not afraid that his choice would backfire on him. Calmly, he waited for the system to give him his reward.
“There are quite a lot of side dishes in the complete set. Dumplings, steamed buns, and wontons. Looks like I have everything now.” Yuan Zhou felt very proud of his smart choice.
“Let’s make some Spicy Wontons for dinner.” Yuan Zhou immediately decided on his dinner. Since there weren’t a lot of people today, this would be a perfect dish for dinner.
The moment Yuan Zhou thought about the layer of aromatic and numbingly hot chili oil on top of the bowl, the clear and limpid soup underneath, and the white wontons ebbing up and down in the soup, his desire to eat it grew.
“It has been a while since I ate it,” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
Right this moment, the system suddenly appeared.
The system displayed, “As the host is still a junior Master of Cooked Wheaten Food, you are still not allowed to redeem the side dishes in the set. The host will only be allowed to redeem them after reaching the intermediate level.”
“What the f*ck? What in the world? Why didn’t you mention that earlier before I choose this reward?” Yuan Zhou was very dissatisfied, “Where’s my promised happiness?”
Once again, the system went inactive and ignored him.
“My dear system, you won’t feel good if you don’t scam me at least once per day, right? If I can’t redeem it, why did you even showed it to me? Just to look at it?” Even though today was the first day of Chinese New Year, Yuan Zhou still couldn’t help but cuss.
Then, Yuan Zhou recalled that he still had a lot of wheaten food books to read. Immediately, his heart felt cold.
“Scamming system.”

"value": "Chapter 236: Are You Ready?\n\"My Lord, who do you think is the best?\"\nAfter hearing Miao Shihao’s question, Lin Feng grinned, \"I shall not hide it from the both of you. This question is not suitable to be answered at this point in time. I also hope that they will give me a surprise.\"\nKang Nanhua and Miao Shihao looked at each other, as Miao Shihao laughed secretly, \"My Lord, you do not know too?\"\n\"Because there is a huge change coming.\" Lin Feng answered, \"This change is Wang Lin.\"\nKang Nanhua and Miao Shihao revealed a thoughtful expression.\nThey might not possess a Talent Analysis Device like Lin Feng, which could accurately tell the four statistics of the potential of Lin Feng’s disciples, but with their current cultivation and time spent with Xiao Yan, they could tell Wang Lin was different from the rest.\nLin Feng continued, \"The suspense lies in when Wang Lin can form the elixir.\"\n\"Let us say that if Wang Lin can form the elixir before the rest has promoted to the Aurous Core Stage, then I think Wang Lin has the highest potential to form his soul.\" Lin Feng drew a light circle in space. \"If Zhu Yi promotes to the Aurous Core Stage before Wang Lin forms the elixir, then I agree with Nanhua’s point that Zhu Yi may be the fastest to form his soul.\"\nThe figure of the light circle floated about, revealing an image from the medicine valley. There were two human figures in it, both Wang Lin and Yang Qing.\nYang Qing picked up a spiritual herb that Tuntun had crushed and sighed, revealing a sorrowful expression.\nIn front of Tuntun, he literally had no retaliatory powers. He needed to use all the Grand Moon Primordial Water within him to protect himself, much less talked about fighting Tuntun.\nBut the unleashing of the entire Grand Moon Primordial Water was not something that he could control. If the Primordial Water escapes, the result would similarly be unpredictable.\nWang Lin looked at Yang Qing, saying, \"Understanding one’s own shortcomings should only lead to greater efforts at cultivating. Whining about it will not help and develops an attitude of reliance on others, which will not help too.\"\nYang Qing cautiously said, \"I feel that no matter how hard I try, I will still be unable to catch up with everyone, including our smallest Junior. Haiz, when he calls me Senior, I will get frantic and cannot wait to find a hole to hide myself in.\"\nWang Lin got up and climbed onto the Feilian and flew far away. His voice resonated in space, \"If you have this kind of mentality, you will never be able to catch up.\"\nYang Qing looked at the medicine farm in front of him and was stunned. After a while, he slapped his cheek hard, \"Get your spirits up. The enemy who ruined the Cloud Water Cave are more savage than that Taotie. If I am like that, how can I avenge the rest?\"\n\"Master accepted me as a disciple, but if I remain so downbeat, am I not letting him down? No, I cannot make him lose his face.\"\nLin Feng and two others looked at the feed in the light circle, which made Miao Shihao laughed, \"Although he is a little soft in his personality, he knows what is good for him. It is just that in the future…\"\nOn the other hand, Kang Nanhua creased his brows and twisted his head to look at Lin Feng, \"My Lord, given Yang Qing’s personality, he is a little similar to Hongyan. But as comrade Miao has said, his personality is too gentle. In the long run, this may not be ideal.\"\nKang Nanhua’s words seem to be a little illogical. He categorized both Yang Qing and Yue Hongyan together, even though Yang Qing was more gentle and humble, while Yue Hongyan was more tough and generous.\nBut Lin Feng understood his words instantaneously and nodded his head in deep thought.\nKang Nanhua did not refer to the way both Yang Qing and Yue Hongyan’s did things when he said that they were similar. He was saying that they both lacked initiative.\nTheir hard work, determination, and drive were all for the sake of others.\nYang Qing’s perseverance, ever since he fought the Taotie, was different from that of Wang Lin. Wang Lin was unwavering as his motive was to become stronger.\nWhereas for Yang Qing, he did all that not to let Lin Feng down. To put it more accurately, as Lin Feng’s disciple, he did not want others to say that he threw Lin Feng’s face and did not want others to point fingers claiming that Lin Feng accepted disciples recklessly.\nHe wanted to get stronger so as to avenge his Cloud Water Cave Sect and repay Lin Feng for saving him.\nBut Yang Qing’s main purpose in making himself stronger was not convincing enough.\nYue Hongyan appeared fearless, but in terms of the cultivation ideals, she was similar to Yang Qing. Yue Hongyan was urgent to become stronger, because she inherited the remains of her deceased senior, Yue Hongfeng, due to the rivalry between the Arctic State and the Great Zhou Empire.\nIt was Yue Hongfeng’s beliefs that always led her forward. After the Covenant of Liefeng was destroyed by Zhang Lie, Yue Hongyan’s forward-looking outlook became a search for revenge against Zhang Lie.\nLin Feng and Kang Nanhua were certain that if the Great Zhou Empire and Zhang Lie disappeared overnight, then Yue Hongyan would lose her purpose and not know what to do in the future.\nIt was just that Yue Hongyan was tough and she had a strong will. Even if she lost her goal, she would just follow her habits and continue moving forward.\nWhereas for Yang Qing, after losing his motivation from the outside world, he might entirely lose his motivation for the future. He lacked a thirst for personal improvement, thus maybe if he returned to the fields in the wild and became a free person, he might feel more at home.\nLin Feng said, \"Yang Qing’s potential is unlimited.\"\nThat was the truth, but it was not convenient for him to reveal to Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao in detail.\nSince he accepted Yang Qing as his disciple from the first day, Lin Feng was already very curious. It was due to Yang Qing’s Innate Ability, which was 9 points. How did that come about?\nXiao Bu Dian’s Innate Ability was 10 points. It was his natural foundation, the Natural Supreme Spiritual Altar.\nXiao Zhen Er’s Innate Ability was 9 points, but it could be told that she was special. Her Innate Ability was so high, such that it could be possible that she had inherited some of it through her blood line.\nYang Qing’s Innate Ability was also 9 points. As of now, he was the one with the highest value among those who were analyzed by Lin Feng, only below Xiao Bu Dian.\nWhat did he have that warranted such a high Innate Ability?\nAfter he came under Lin Feng, Lin Feng also investigated it secretly, but he did not have any findings. This made Lin Feng curious.\nKang Nanhua and Miao Shihua misunderstood Lin Feng. Miao Shihao laughed, \"If Yang Qing’s determination was a little stronger, his future could be very bright.\"\nLin Feng was expressionless, but he was laughing bitterly internally.\nThe system showed that Yang Qing’s determination was only 5 points. It was the statistic for his innate potential and not the statistic for his current attributes.\nIn other words, the system was bent on putting Yang Qing’s determination at a maximum of 5 points.\nThis was unless there was a huge external factor that interfered with it.\nLike that brainless fool who opened his harem and wasted his fortune, Hong Ye.\nIf one was allowed to develop normally, the statistic given by the system was the upper limit.\nTo increase Yang Qing’s determination, there had to be a painful change that altered his determination greatly.\nBefore Lin Feng’s skepticism of the ability to change one’s determination overnight was even mentioned, if we were to assume that such a thing was to happen, given Yang Qing’s fragile determination, it was more likely to put him down and led to his emotional destruction.\nThe destruction of the Cloud Water Cave was an opportunity, but the continuous interference of the Aeolus Sect and Lin Feng let the opportunity slipped.\nWithout the Aeolus Sect and Lin Feng’s interference, Yang Qing’s character could have a big change and he could walk up a path of solitude. But he could also be unable to handle such a setback, the mental breakdown and his willpower would be entirely gone.\nThe Aeolus Sect’s pursuit of him and Lin Feng’s appearance as his savior gave Yang Qing one more choice in the three crossroads of life.\nLin Feng had also often thought about it, if the Aeolus Sect and himself did not appear, which road would Yang Qing actually take?\n\"Although I am very excited to see you get stronger, I fear that that may incur a huge price, one that you cannot bear.\" Lin Feng sighed in his heart, \"After all, you do not seem as opinionated as\nXiao Yan and the rest. In the face of danger, life and death cannot be predicted easily.\"\nLin Feng used his mind to cause a change in the light circle, reconverting it back to the figure of\nWang Lin. He saw that Wang Lin was still seated on top of the Feilian and had not returned to his cave. But he had already started cultivating as he would not let go of any second.\nKang Nanhua and Miao Shihao looked at each other and nodded concurrently, \"Wang Lin’s Intelligence is shocking. Once he successfully forms the elixir, his reliance on his Innate Ability for his cultivation will drop significantly, while putting more focus on his Intelligence. With his determination, he will progress significantly then.\"\nLin Feng laughed and waved his hand. The light circle disappeared and he descended from space, appearing in front of Xiao Yan and the rest.\nLin Feng was sneering at Tuntun when that happened, \"I almost forgot, if I am not wrong, when I was first trapped in the ring, the Taotie that sucked all my mana was you, am I right?\"\nTuntun twitched his mouth, \"How dare you even mention it, with that little bit of mana, coupled with its poor quality, it is still unable to even fill the gaps in my teeth.\"\nXiao Yan mocked in anger, \"Hey, you are still quite picky. Now I can let you eat as much as you want in one shot, but I am not sure if you have the guts?\"\nTuntun wanted to rebut immediately, but he remembered Xiao Yan’s infusion of the two Primordial Fires and its frightening powers, which made him back away. He muttered, \"Hold it for me, I will eat it when I form the demon soul.\"\n\"Big senior, calm down, calm down.\" Xiao Bu Dian quickly blocked off Xiao Yan, who was filled with killing intent. \"I am still waiting for her to bring me somewhere nice to eat.\"\nXiao Bu Dian followed saying after a while, \"Furthermore, killing her has no point. Her meat is not delicious.\"\nTuntun, who was initially grateful towards Xiao Bu Dian, twitched his mouth and twisted his face, \"They are no good things!\"\nLin Feng also shook his face and laugh, coming beside Tuntun. He extended his head to grab her small head and directly pushed her to bow towards Xiao Yan in a 90 degrees’ angle, \"I will give you a chance to say again, what should you say now?\"\n\"A good Taotie will not fight when the odds are against it.\" Tuntun resisted Lin Feng, twisting her mouth, \"Sorry, I was wrong in the beginning. I apologize to you now, please forgive me.\"\nLin Feng laughed, \"What else?\"\nTuntun rolled her eyes, \"In the future, if you need my help, please instruct me. I will make amends for my past mistakes.\"\nXiao Yan recalled that Lin Feng said that Tuntun was his spiritual pet and saw that Tuntun apologized under his command, which made him feel much more appeased. Looking at Tuntun snorting, he said, \"Forget it, if you do not cause any more trouble for me, I can thank Heaven already.\"\nTuntun made a funny face at him.\nLin Feng slapped her head and turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, suddenly asking, \"Are you ready?\"\nThe rest were unsure of what Lin Feng was referring to, but Xiao Yan understood immediately. He held his smile and seriously bow towards Lin Feng, \"Greetings my Master, your disciple is ready!\""

236.准备好了吗？
“宗主呢，您又看好谁？”
听到苗世豪的问题，林锋微微一笑：“本座也不瞒你们，这个问题现在还不好回答，本座也很期待他们能给本座一个惊喜。”
康南华和苗世豪对视一眼，苗世豪掩唇娇笑：“宗主也不知道吗？”
“因为这其中存在一个巨大的变数。” 林锋淡淡说道：“这个变数就是小林子。”
康南华和苗世豪脸上都露出深思的神色。
他们虽然不像林锋一样拥有天赋探测器，能准确知道众弟子的四项天赋潜力数值，但到了他们现在的修为，又与萧焱等人接触过一段日子，以他们的眼力自然能看出汪林的与众不同之处。
林锋继续说道：“悬念就在于小林子什么时候可以结丹。”
“如果在小焱子三人还没有晋级金丹后期之前，小林子能成功结丹，那么本座最看好小林子第一个结婴。” 林锋伸手在空中划了一个光圈：“如果在小林子结丹之前，小易就先一步晋级金丹后期的话，那么本座同南华的观点一致，小易将最有可能第一个结婴。”
光圈中影像浮动，露出药谷中的景象，里面两个人影，正是汪林和杨清。
杨清拾起一株被吞吞踩坏的灵药，叹了口气，满脸沮丧。
在吞吞面前，他几乎没有还手之力，不要说对敌了，若是不将自己体内全部太阴真水释放出来，连自保都做不到。
但释放全部太阴真水，却又不是现在的他可以掌控的。 真水暴走，结局一样祸福难料。
汪林看了杨清一眼。 淡淡说道：“意识到自己的不足，就更要用心修练。 自怨自艾不足取，对他人产生依赖之心，同样也不足取。”
杨清讷讷地说道：“我感觉我不管再怎么努力，也追不上大师兄、二师兄他们，小师弟……唉，他叫我师兄的时候，我都臊得慌，恨不得找个地缝钻进去。”
汪林起身跨上飞廉兽，飞走远去。 他的声音静静在空气中回响：“你抱定这种心思，就真的一辈子也追不上了。”
杨清望着眼前的药田，怔怔出神，良久后用力拍了拍自己的脸颊：“打起精神来，那个毁掉云水洞的仇人，只怕比那饕餮还要凶残，我这个样子，如何能为大家报仇？”
“师父收我为徒，我这样一蹶不振。 岂不是辜负了他的期许？
不行，我一定不能给他丢脸。” 林锋三人看着光圈里的影像，苗世豪轻笑一声：“虽然性子柔弱了一些，但也是个知道好歹的人呢。
康南华则微微蹙眉，扭头看向林锋：“宗主，杨清的性格。 其实和红炎有些相似，但正如苗道友所说。
康南华这话乍一听，似乎有些不合情理，将温和谦恭的杨清与刚毅豪迈不让须眉的岳红炎归为一类人。
但林锋却在第一时间就明白了他的意思，深以为然的点点头。
康南华所说的杨清和岳红炎相似，不是指二人的处事风格，而是说这两个人，自身都缺乏主动性。
他们的努力，他们的拼搏，他们的奋发向上，说到底，都是为了别人。
杨清振作精神，从与饕餮一战的打击中走出来，说到底跟汪林不一样，汪林是自强不息，主动的想要让自己更加强大。
而杨清则是为了不让林锋失望，准确地说，他身为林锋弟子，不想日后被外人说他给林锋丢人，不想让外人指摘林锋收徒没眼光。
他想要变强，是为了给之前覆灭师门云水洞众人报仇，是为了报答林锋的相救知遇之恩。
但杨清自己主观让自己强大起来的念头，并不强烈。
岳红炎看起来勇往直前无所畏惧，但其实在修道理念上，她与杨清极为相似，岳红炎迫切的想要变强，之前是因为雪风国同大周皇朝间的国仇，她继承了她亡兄岳红风的遗志。
是岳红风的信念一直引领她前进，而在烈风会被张烈毁灭后，岳红炎前进的动力又变成了找张烈报仇。
林锋和康南华都可以百分百肯定，如果大周皇朝和张烈一夜之间消失不见，那岳红炎恐怕会茫然不知所措，完全不知道自己该干什么了。
只不过岳红炎性格刚烈，意志坚强，即便失去了目标，她哪怕依照惯性也会继续一路前行。
而杨清，在失去了外界带来的推动力后，恐怕会彻底失去向上的动力，他自己缺乏主观向上的渴望，或许归于田园山野间，做一悠闲散人，才是他的归宿。
林锋淡淡说道：“杨清的潜力，其实还远远没有见底。”
他这是实话，但却不方便跟康南华、苗世豪细说。
从收杨清为徒第一天起，林锋其实就有些好奇，那就是杨清高达九点的根骨，到底是怎么来的？
小不点十点满值根骨，那是他天生筑基，天生至尊灵台。
萧焱的预备正宫娘娘萧真儿根骨九点，但她一看就知道出身不凡，根骨那么高，极有可能是血脉传承上给她带来某种加成。
杨清的根骨和萧真儿一样是九点，目前被林锋探测过的人中，是小不点之下，根骨最高的两人。
他凭什么能有这么高的根骨？
在他入林锋门下后，林锋也暗自探查过，但却没有什么收获，这反而让林锋越发好奇起来。
康南华和苗世豪却把林锋的意思理解错了，苗世豪笑道：“杨清的心性意志要是能更加坚强一些，前途应该不可限量。”
林锋脸上表情不动，心底却在苦笑。
系统给出杨清五的心志。
换言之，系统是看死了杨清这辈子心志最高只有五点。
有巨大的外界作用因素干扰。
如同那个无脑开后宫，把自己福缘硬生生败干净的红叶公子叶飘雪一样。
如果任由自己正常发展，系统给出的数据，其实就是最终高度。
想要杨清心志提升，那除非来一场让他心性大变的惨痛巨变。
先不说林锋对于那种让人一夜之间心性大变的事件真实性一向抱怀疑态度，退一万步来说，真的有这种事情发生了，以杨清脆弱的意志，恐怕还是被彻底击倒。 精神崩溃占多数。
云水洞的覆灭本来是个机缘，但风神宗和林锋的连续介入，让这个机会悄悄溜走了。
若没有风神宗和林锋的介入，杨清有可能性情大变，走上一条独自复仇的强者之路，但也有可能受不了如此巨大的打击，精神崩溃，意志彻底消沉。
风神宗的追杀和林锋的现身相救，使杨清在命运的三岔路口上。 又多了一个选择。
林锋有时候也会想，如果没有自己和风神宗，杨清究竟会走上哪条路？
大到你无法承受。” 林锋心中叹息：“毕竟，你看起来不像小焱子他们那样有主角光环罩着，真正的危难临头。
生死难料啊。”
林锋心念一动，光圈中影像已经变化。
重新化为汪林的模样，却见汪林端坐在飞廉兽背上。 还没回到自己洞府，就已经开始打坐修练，一分一毫时间都不肯放松。
康南华和苗世豪对视一眼，同时点头：“小林子悟性惊人，一旦结丹成功，修练对于根骨的依赖大幅降低，更加看重悟性，以他如此心性意志，那时必然会突飞猛进。”
林锋笑了笑，手一挥，光圈散尽，他人从空中落下，来到萧焱等人面前。
萧焱此时正一脸冷笑的看着吞吞：“差一点点就忘了，我没猜错的话，当初蹲在戒指里，把我一身法力都吸干的那只饕餮，就是你？”
吞吞撇了撇嘴：“还说呢，那么一丁点法力，质量还很差，都不够塞牙缝的。”
萧焱气极反笑：“嘿，嘴还挺挑，现在我倒是可以一次性让你吃个够，就是不知道你有没有那胆子？”
吞吞立刻就想反唇相讥，但突然想起之前萧焱两大真火融合后，其中蕴含的恐怖力量，小脑袋微微缩了缩，嘟囔道：“先欠着，等我结成妖婴就来吃。”
“大师兄，冷静，冷静。” 小不点连忙挡住浑身已经散发森冷杀意的萧焱：“我还等着她带我找好吃的呢。”
小不点顿了顿后，接着说道：“而且，宰了她也没用，肉不好吃啊。”
本来还挺感激小不点的吞吞闻听此言，顿时嘴角抽搐，扭过脸去：“这对师兄弟，都不是什么好鸟！”
林锋也摇头失笑，来到吞吞身后，伸手抓住她的小脑袋，直接把她按成九十度角向着萧焱鞠躬：“给你机会再说一次，这时候应该说什么？”
“好饕餮不吃眼前亏。” 被林锋抓住的吞吞半点反抗不得，撇撇嘴：“对不起，之前是我不好，向你道歉，请你原谅我。”
林锋笑道：“还有呢？”
吞吞翻了个白眼：“以后有什么我能做的，你尽管说，我会补偿昔日犯下的错误。”
萧焱想起之前林锋说过吞吞是其灵宠，又见吞吞服软道歉，心里气顿时顺了许多，看着吞吞哼了一声：“免了，你别再来给我添乱子，我就谢天谢地了。”
吞吞冲他做了个鬼脸。
林锋拍了她脑袋一下，然后转头看向小焱子，突然问道：“准备好了吗？”
其他人都没头没脑不懂林锋在说什么，萧焱却立刻懂了，脸上笑容收起，郑重其事向着林锋躬身一礼：“启禀师父，弟子准备好了！”

Chapter 236: Are You Ready?
"My Lord, who do you think is the best?"
After hearing Miao Shihao’s question, Lin Feng grinned, "I shall not hide it from the both of you. This question is not suitable to be answered at this point in time. I also hope that they will give me a surprise."
Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao looked at each other, as Miao Shihao laughed secretly, "My Lord, you do not know too?"
"Because there is a huge change coming." Lin Feng answered, "This change is Wang Lin."
Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao revealed a thoughtful expression.
They might not possess a Talent Analysis Device like Lin Feng, which could accurately tell the four statistics of the potential of Lin Feng’s disciples, but with their current cultivation and time spent with Xiao Yan, they could tell Wang Lin was different from the rest.
Lin Feng continued, "The suspense lies in when Wang Lin can form the elixir."
"Let us say that if Wang Lin can form the elixir before the rest has promoted to the Aurous Core Stage, then I think Wang Lin has the highest potential to form his soul." Lin Feng drew a light circle in space. "If Zhu Yi promotes to the Aurous Core Stage before Wang Lin forms the elixir, then I agree with Nanhua’s point that Zhu Yi may be the fastest to form his soul."
The figure of the light circle floated about, revealing an image from the medicine valley. There were two human figures in it, both Wang Lin and Yang Qing.
Yang Qing picked up a spiritual herb that Tuntun had crushed and sighed, revealing a sorrowful expression.
In front of Tuntun, he literally had no retaliatory powers. He needed to use all the Grand Moon Primordial Water within him to protect himself, much less talked about fighting Tuntun.
But the unleashing of the entire Grand Moon Primordial Water was not something that he could control. If the Primordial Water escapes, the result would similarly be unpredictable.
Wang Lin looked at Yang Qing, saying, "Understanding one’s own shortcomings should only lead to greater efforts at cultivating. Whining about it will not help and develops an attitude of reliance on others, which will not help too."
Yang Qing cautiously said, "I feel that no matter how hard I try, I will still be unable to catch up with everyone, including our smallest Junior. Haiz, when he calls me Senior, I will get frantic and cannot wait to find a hole to hide myself in."
Wang Lin got up and climbed onto the Feilian and flew far away. His voice resonated in space, "If you have this kind of mentality, you will never be able to catch up."
Yang Qing looked at the medicine farm in front of him and was stunned. After a while, he slapped his cheek hard, "Get your spirits up. The enemy who ruined the Cloud Water Cave are more savage than that Taotie. If I am like that, how can I avenge the rest?"
"Master accepted me as a disciple, but if I remain so downbeat, am I not letting him down? No, I cannot make him lose his face."
Lin Feng and two others looked at the feed in the light circle, which made Miao Shihao laughed, "Although he is a little soft in his personality, he knows what is good for him. It is just that in the future…"
On the other hand, Kang Nanhua creased his brows and twisted his head to look at Lin Feng, "My Lord, given Yang Qing’s personality, he is a little similar to Hongyan. But as comrade Miao has said, his personality is too gentle. In the long run, this may not be ideal."
Kang Nanhua’s words seem to be a little illogical. He categorized both Yang Qing and Yue Hongyan together, even though Yang Qing was more gentle and humble, while Yue Hongyan was more tough and generous.
But Lin Feng understood his words instantaneously and nodded his head in deep thought.
Kang Nanhua did not refer to the way both Yang Qing and Yue Hongyan’s did things when he said that they were similar. He was saying that they both lacked initiative.
Their hard work, determination, and drive were all for the sake of others.
Yang Qing’s perseverance, ever since he fought the Taotie, was different from that of Wang Lin. Wang Lin was unwavering as his motive was to become stronger.
Whereas for Yang Qing, he did all that not to let Lin Feng down. To put it more accurately, as Lin Feng’s disciple, he did not want others to say that he threw Lin Feng’s face and did not want others to point fingers claiming that Lin Feng accepted disciples recklessly.
He wanted to get stronger so as to avenge his Cloud Water Cave Sect and repay Lin Feng for saving him.
But Yang Qing’s main purpose in making himself stronger was not convincing enough.
Yue Hongyan appeared fearless, but in terms of the cultivation ideals, she was similar to Yang Qing. Yue Hongyan was urgent to become stronger, because she inherited the remains of her deceased senior, Yue Hongfeng, due to the rivalry between the Arctic State and the Great Zhou Empire.
It was Yue Hongfeng’s beliefs that always led her forward. After the Covenant of Liefeng was destroyed by Zhang Lie, Yue Hongyan’s forward-looking outlook became a search for revenge against Zhang Lie.
Lin Feng and Kang Nanhua were certain that if the Great Zhou Empire and Zhang Lie disappeared overnight, then Yue Hongyan would lose her purpose and not know what to do in the future.
It was just that Yue Hongyan was tough and she had a strong will. Even if she lost her goal, she would just follow her habits and continue moving forward.
Whereas for Yang Qing, after losing his motivation from the outside world, he might entirely lose his motivation for the future. He lacked a thirst for personal improvement, thus maybe if he returned to the fields in the wild and became a free person, he might feel more at home.
Lin Feng said, "Yang Qing’s potential is unlimited."
That was the truth, but it was not convenient for him to reveal to Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao in detail.
Since he accepted Yang Qing as his disciple from the first day, Lin Feng was already very curious. It was due to Yang Qing’s Innate Ability, which was 9 points. How did that come about?
Xiao Bu Dian’s Innate Ability was 10 points. It was his natural foundation, the Natural Supreme Spiritual Altar.
Xiao Zhen Er’s Innate Ability was 9 points, but it could be told that she was special. Her Innate Ability was so high, such that it could be possible that she had inherited some of it through her blood line.
Yang Qing’s Innate Ability was also 9 points. As of now, he was the one with the highest value among those who were analyzed by Lin Feng, only below Xiao Bu Dian.
What did he have that warranted such a high Innate Ability?
After he came under Lin Feng, Lin Feng also investigated it secretly, but he did not have any findings. This made Lin Feng curious.
Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihua misunderstood Lin Feng. Miao Shihao laughed, "If Yang Qing’s determination was a little stronger, his future could be very bright."
Lin Feng was expressionless, but he was laughing bitterly internally.
The system showed that Yang Qing’s determination was only 5 points. It was the statistic for his innate potential and not the statistic for his current attributes.
In other words, the system was bent on putting Yang Qing’s determination at a maximum of 5 points.
This was unless there was a huge external factor that interfered with it.
Like that brainless fool who opened his harem and wasted his fortune, Hong Ye.
If one was allowed to develop normally, the statistic given by the system was the upper limit.
To increase Yang Qing’s determination, there had to be a painful change that altered his determination greatly.
Before Lin Feng’s skepticism of the ability to change one’s determination overnight was even mentioned, if we were to assume that such a thing was to happen, given Yang Qing’s fragile determination, it was more likely to put him down and led to his emotional destruction.
The destruction of the Cloud Water Cave was an opportunity, but the continuous interference of the Aeolus Sect and Lin Feng let the opportunity slipped.
Without the Aeolus Sect and Lin Feng’s interference, Yang Qing’s character could have a big change and he could walk up a path of solitude. But he could also be unable to handle such a setback, the mental breakdown and his willpower would be entirely gone.
The Aeolus Sect’s pursuit of him and Lin Feng’s appearance as his savior gave Yang Qing one more choice in the three crossroads of life.
Lin Feng had also often thought about it, if the Aeolus Sect and himself did not appear, which road would Yang Qing actually take?
"Although I am very excited to see you get stronger, I fear that that may incur a huge price, one that you cannot bear." Lin Feng sighed in his heart, "After all, you do not seem as opinionated as
Xiao Yan and the rest. In the face of danger, life and death cannot be predicted easily."
Lin Feng used his mind to cause a change in the light circle, reconverting it back to the figure of
Wang Lin. He saw that Wang Lin was still seated on top of the Feilian and had not returned to his cave. But he had already started cultivating as he would not let go of any second.
Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao looked at each other and nodded concurrently, "Wang Lin’s Intelligence is shocking. Once he successfully forms the elixir, his reliance on his Innate Ability for his cultivation will drop significantly, while putting more focus on his Intelligence. With his determination, he will progress significantly then."
Lin Feng laughed and waved his hand. The light circle disappeared and he descended from space, appearing in front of Xiao Yan and the rest.
Lin Feng was sneering at Tuntun when that happened, "I almost forgot, if I am not wrong, when I was first trapped in the ring, the Taotie that sucked all my mana was you, am I right?"
Tuntun twitched his mouth, "How dare you even mention it, with that little bit of mana, coupled with its poor quality, it is still unable to even fill the gaps in my teeth."
Xiao Yan mocked in anger, "Hey, you are still quite picky. Now I can let you eat as much as you want in one shot, but I am not sure if you have the guts?"
Tuntun wanted to rebut immediately, but he remembered Xiao Yan’s infusion of the two Primordial Fires and its frightening powers, which made him back away. He muttered, "Hold it for me, I will eat it when I form the demon soul."
"Big senior, calm down, calm down." Xiao Bu Dian quickly blocked off Xiao Yan, who was filled with killing intent. "I am still waiting for her to bring me somewhere nice to eat."
Xiao Bu Dian followed saying after a while, "Furthermore, killing her has no point. Her meat is not delicious."
Tuntun, who was initially grateful towards Xiao Bu Dian, twitched his mouth and twisted his face, "They are no good things!"
Lin Feng also shook his face and laugh, coming beside Tuntun. He extended his head to grab her small head and directly pushed her to bow towards Xiao Yan in a 90 degrees’ angle, "I will give you a chance to say again, what should you say now?"
"A good Taotie will not fight when the odds are against it." Tuntun resisted Lin Feng, twisting her mouth, "Sorry, I was wrong in the beginning. I apologize to you now, please forgive me."
Lin Feng laughed, "What else?"
Tuntun rolled her eyes, "In the future, if you need my help, please instruct me. I will make amends for my past mistakes."
Xiao Yan recalled that Lin Feng said that Tuntun was his spiritual pet and saw that Tuntun apologized under his command, which made him feel much more appeased. Looking at Tuntun snorting, he said, "Forget it, if you do not cause any more trouble for me, I can thank Heaven already."
Tuntun made a funny face at him.
Lin Feng slapped her head and turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, suddenly asking, "Are you ready?"
The rest were unsure of what Lin Feng was referring to, but Xiao Yan understood immediately. He held his smile and seriously bow towards Lin Feng, "Greetings my Master, your disciple is ready!"

That hair was wet from sweat and stuck to his forehead. The young man had a pair of sharp blue eye and a gray robe that looked a bit too large for his size.\nA lady wearing a white robe followed after the young man. Her long black hair trailed down to her shoulders, and there were several scars on her pretty face.\nAngele and Isabel finally left the tunnel after running like crazy for several minutes.\n\"Don’t stop! Our boat should be safe, I left several people there guarding it. We need to leave the island!\" Isabell yelled. She looked anxious as she rushed to the stairs that led to the foot of the mountain.\nAngele nodded but did not say anything. He took one final glance at the tunnel and followed after Isabel.\nThe three entrances slowly disappeared from the sundial and everything returned to normal.\nThe gnomon of the sundial turned white after several seconds.\n*CHI* A ray of white light shot from the tip of the gnomon and streaked into the sky.\nThe white string connected the cliff and the sky.\nAngele noticed what happened to the sundial and hastened his steps.\nThe two kept running down the hill. They turned several times on the way to take short-cuts.\nTen minutes later they returned to the beach that the boat was secured in.\n\"Impossible! Where’s the boat?\"\nIsabel stared at the empty shore, looking surprised.\nIt was as if the boat had taken the team and completely disappeared, leaving no trace on the surface of the sea.\nBlue waves were hitting the yellow beach from time to time, but besides them, the place was deadly silent.\nThe water from the sea was circling between the gaps of the reefs.\n\"Where’s the boat?!\"\nIsabel started panicking, she ran into the sea and circled around the area where the boat was anchored, but found nothing.\n\"Damn.\"\nThey guessed that the missing boat was part of the series of mysterious happenings in the ruin. If the blue wizard illusions destroyed the boat, it would be a huge problem.\nAngele stopped by the edge of the beach and started checking the surroundings.\n\"Is there a way that you can get in contact with the people on the ship?\" he asked, turning his head toward her.\nIsabel took a deep breath and calmed down. She looked different, her face was no longer emotionless. She quickly took out a small golden ball from the pouch after Angele’s words. *Clank*\nSeveral black needles rose from the surface of the ball. Isabel picked one of the needles and twisted it.\nThe golden ball disappeared from her palm, drew a golden line in the air, and flew into the air.\nThe needles soared through the air and flew in different directions, then all disappeared after several seconds.\n\"Har-rim-las!\" Isabel chanted the incantation in a loud voice. The word she said meant ‘the mother of light’ in Anmag.\nThey waited for a while until they saw a golden line coming from the left; it connected itself to the ball in the air.\n\"That direction!\" Isabel yelled and started running.\nAngele nodded and followed after her.\nThe two ran along the coastline and found their boat under a stone cliff after about ten minutes.\nThe small black boat was stuck between reefs, and there was a golden string on the sail.\nThe wind and the waves were getting stronger and stronger.\nThe clouds in the sky were getting darker, completely blocking the sunlight. It was noon but it looked like evening.\nAngele and Isabel stepped into the water and ran to the boat.\nIsabel rubbed on the white ring she had and a white magic circle appeared under her feet. The magic circle slowly lifted her up and she easily jumped onto the deck after several seconds.\nAngele pointed at the boat and a long silver metal string left the tip of his finger, embedding itself into the railing. He pulled the string, jumped to the railing, and climbed onto the deck as well.\nThe boat was deadly silent. He could not see anyone around.\nIsabel went straight to the cabin after stepping on to the deck.\nAfter several minutes, she dragged two men outside.\nThe two were wearing dark red leather armor and both were unconscious. Angele saw the weapons in their hands, blood dripping down the blades.\n\"One of them was Ainphent’s follower, and they were both assailed by the illusions. The illusion made them think that the two of them were enemies. The curse is way too strong, we must go,\" Isabel said calmly. She took a deep breath again and tried to figure out a plan of what to do next.\n\"Don’t worry too much about it. The curse only affects the targeted population I believe. Also, I have a special way to deal with it.\"\nAngele pursed his lips to a smile. He had already tested the power of the signet several times and was certain that he could help the people around him.\n\"Well, I know you probably lifted the curse for me temporarily, but the thing is more complicated than you think,\" Isabel said, her voice low.\n\"Look at this.\"\nShe turned her head to the left and pulled the collar to the right, revealing her clean, white shoulder.\nAngele saw a sundial-shaped black pattern on Isabel’s shoulder which looked like a tattoo.\n\"This pattern means that the curse is not completely lifted and this is just one of the many patterns that appeared on my body.\" Isabel shook her head. \"We need to drive the boat to the original location and wait for Melissa’s group. If they don’t come back in half an hour, we’ll have to leave.\"\nAngele was a bit surprised after seeing the pattern. He slightly rubbed his left hand—it seemed like the signet could only completely lift the curse for its owner.\nThe blood from ancient harpies worked. They were the masters of controlling the illusions, and they could resist most of the illusion spells.\nAngele heard someone screaming when he was about to talk.\n\"It’s Melissa!\" Isabel shouted. She raised her head and looked at the sky. \"Oh! God!\"\nShe covered her mouth with the right hand. It seemed like she could not believe what was happening.\nAngele scrunched his eyebrows. He could sense the presence of countless energy particles. They were howling like the wind that was about to brush the negative energy particles off his body.\nThe silver plate was slowly rotating and more than ten thousand different white runes were flashing upon it.\n\"I shall cleanse this island with the purest power,\" Melissa’s voice echoed in the sky. It was loud and deep.\nThe bright light from the plate shined upon the whole island. That light was gentle and clean, even the dark clouds now looked white. Distorted waves spread through the air and changed the air flow around the island.\nThe wind brought by the plate sent warmth to every corner of the island. Angele felt relaxed and his mind became peaceful.\nIt was a large-scale spell, and spells like this were usually casted during wars. Their single-target damage was usually low, but their range was incredible.\n*Roar* Suddenly, a huge mouth appeared and bit the plate. The creature swung its head and swallowed the whole thing.\nThe noise it made while swallowing sounded like thunder striking the ground.\nMelissa was swallowed together with the plate before she could react.\nA glowing blue sea serpent had appeared from nowhere. Its ears looked like bat wings, and there were two rays of light coming out of its eyes. It almost looked like the eyeballs were replaced by burning flames.\nAngele and Isabel could not understand what had just happened.\nAfter several seconds, Angele shouted.\nAngele went to control the helm as Isabel took out a yellow pouch and poured something into the air. Green dust spread onto the main sail and turned into a small tornado.\nThe boat shook several times and moved through the reefs. It started advancing to the opposite side of the island quickly.\n*CHI*\nA circle of green light appeared above the boat and quickly spread onto its body.\nThe speed of the boat was greatly increased. It was moving away from the island like an arrow leaving a bowstring.\nThe serpent was more than 1000 meters long. It slowly twisted around the island and raised its head. The strong sound coming from its mouth sounded like a beast roaring.\n*Rumble* The lightning flashed upon the island and the dark clouds blocked the last ray of light. The whole area sank into darkness.\nThe blue serpent’s glowing body was the last visible thing above the sea."

逃离
整个小岛上空渐渐飘来阵阵密集的乌云。
晴朗的天气迅速变得阴沉起来。
黑色的岩石山腰处。
灰白的日冕圆盘上，三个黑色通道若隐若现，仿佛随时都可能消失。
忽然一个通道边缘，一只手突然伸出来抓到边上借力。
两个人影一下子从通道中窜出来。
前边个是一头棕发的年轻男子，头发被汗水打湿，紧贴在额上。 淡蓝双眼，身上穿着的灰色长袍显得和身形有些不符，似乎显得大了些。
后边一人是一名白袍女子，她的黑色长发披散开来，精致的面容上满是狼狈的伤痕，身上的白袍也有些灰扑扑的，显得很是狼狈。
这两人正是一番狂奔后，从遗迹里冲出来的安格列和丽丝佩尔。 “快走！
船上我和艾尼都留得有负责看船的人员！ 我们必须得马上离开这里！”
丽丝佩尔大声说，脸色焦急，迅速朝着通往下山的小路跑去。 安格列也不多话，重重的点点头。
紧跟在丽丝佩尔身后，他回头最后望了眼地下通道。
三个通道黑黝黝的洞口终于缓缓的消失了。
一道白色光束陡然从时针尖端射出，直冲天际。
天地间，瞬间竖立起一条纤细的白线。
安格列转过头，不再多看。
两人迅速往前疾奔，沿着山路往下，拐过一些拐弯处，一些下坡处需要绕路的，都是直接跳下去。
十多分钟后。 两人终于回到最初停船的海滩。
！ 船呢？”
丽丝佩尔一脸不敢置信的看着空荡荡的海面。
但是原本停船的地方，根本连船的影子也没有。
海滩附近，浅蓝色的海水哗的冲上来，然后又悄悄退下去。
海水从黑色的碎石缝之间迅速流回大海。
“我们的船呢？”
丽丝佩尔跑过去，冲进海水。 在停船的地方转了几圈，却没有任何痕迹。
“这下麻烦了。”
安格列脸色也微微变了。 两人都不由得和岛上的诡异情景联系起来，如果船真的和那些蓝色人影有关，那就麻烦了。
安格列走到海滩边，蹲下身仔细查看地上的痕迹。
“有办法联系船上么？” 他扭头问丽丝佩尔。
丽丝佩尔这才缓缓清醒过来，她现在已经彻底没有了刚开始的那种冷漠，整个人显得异常急躁。 被安格列提醒了下，她连忙从腰囊里摸出一个金色小圆球。
金色圆球表面陡然弹出根根黑色尖刺。 丽丝佩尔捏着一根尖刺。
嗤嗤声接连不断的从空中传来，圆球上的尖刺瞬间全部放射出去。
朝着四面部分飞去，很快便消失在小岛和四周的海域。
“和里亚姆拉斯（安格玛语：晨光之母）！” 丽丝佩尔大声念动激活咒文。
陡然间，一条金色细线从两人左前方飞来。 连接到空中的金色圆球上。
“那个方向！
安格列点头，起身跟上。
沿着海岸线跑了十多分钟，两人才在一处石崖下发现了他们的乘船。
这艘小小的黑色船只被卡在几块礁石之间，一条金色细线连接在船的船帆上。
海风越来越大了，海浪也越发激荡起来。
本来还是正午时分的天色，居然变成快要进入夜晚时的情景。
安格列和丽丝佩尔淌着海水，冲到船只边上。
丽丝佩尔伸手在手上的白色戒指上轻轻一摩擦。 整个人顿时脚下浮现出一个白色三角形符文阵。
符阵带着她缓缓上升起来，很快便升到和船甲板一样高的高度，丽丝佩尔这才轻轻一跳，踩上船甲板。 安格列伸手一指船舷，一条银色金属陡然飞出，狠狠抓在船舷上，轻轻一扯。
他整个人顿时借着力场往上一蹬。
很快便爬上船舷，跳到甲板上。
很快，她又拖着两个人走出船舱入口。
此时都是处于昏迷状态。 而且两人各自手上还拿着自己的武器，身上隐约有暗红色的血迹。
他们被幻觉影响了，都把对方看做是敌人，看起来是诅咒的力量，我们必须马上离开这里。” 丽丝佩尔现在看上去冷静了很多，她深呼吸一口气，试图让自己更加平静下来。 “其实你没必要这么紧张，我想这种诅咒的实现是有条件的。
而恰好的是，我可能具备消除诅咒的能力。”
安格列平静的说，经历过月琴庄园后，他不再对这种局面过于紧张，尽管束手无策，但并不代表他完全没有反抗之力。
“虽然不知道为什么到了你边上，似乎感觉要安全了很多。 不过事情没你想的那么简单。”
“你看。”
她侧过脸，拉开右侧的衣领，露出洁白的肩膀肌肤。
白皙的皮肤上，一个圆形日冕的黑色图案清晰可见，似乎是刺青一般。
我身上这样的图案还有很多。” 丽丝佩尔正色说，“现在我们得把船开出去，停到原来的位置，等米丽莎艾尼他们回来，最多半小时，如果等不到人，我们就必须马上离开！”
安格列有些诧异的看着她肩上的图案，他轻轻握了握左手，手上的幻觉印记似乎让他免疫了这种情况。
看来是古代鹰身女妖的血脉起了作用，古代鹰身女妖天生就是操纵幻觉的大师。
安格列正要说话。
丽丝佩尔脸色一惊，侧过头，朝着小岛深处的天空望去，“噢！ 天哪！”
她忽然紧紧捂住嘴，满脸不敢置信。
安格列皱了皱眉，他能够感觉到那种铺天盖地的能量粒子散发出来的波动。 一阵阵的，如同海风一般拂过他的身上，居然隐隐有把他身上的负能量粒子吹散的感觉。
巨大的银色圆盘缓缓转动。 无数密密麻麻的白色符文在上面不断闪烁，数量足有数十万的样子。
“我将代以纯净之极，彻底净化这个岛屿。” 米丽莎的声音缓缓在整个小岛上空响起，宏大而威严。
巨大的圆盘放射出的白光，彻底照耀了整个小岛。
温和而纯净的白光几乎要冲散了岛屿上空的黑云。 一阵阵的波纹似的波动几乎带起了整个小岛的空气流动。
这是极大范围的大型巫术，属于战略型巫术，单体伤害不高，但分散的范围及其广泛。
陡然间，一张巨嘴从下方一口咬住圆盘，头一仰，居然把数十米高的圆盘直接吞了进去。
巨大的吞咽声传来，像是打雷。
米丽莎甚至连惨叫也没来得及发出，便直接被干脆的一口吞掉。
一条泛着淡淡蓝色虚影的巨型海蛇从小岛上直起来。 它的双耳是一对蓝色蝠翼，双眼闪耀着刺目的蓝光。 仿佛有两团蓝色火焰在里面燃烧。
安格列和丽丝佩尔都愣住了。
半响之后，安格列猛地大吼。
一人去调整船舵，丽丝佩尔直接拿出一个黄色小袋子，往空中一洒。 无数绿色细沙顿时飞散在空中，化为一股绿色的旋风，狠狠吹到刚刚升起的主帆上。
安格列低声念了一段咒文后，伸手往甲板上一点。
嗤！
一圈绿光陡然扩散开来。 迅速扩大到全船。
船只的速度瞬间提升了一大截。 如同离弦的箭一般冲离小岛，驶向远处。
海蛇足足上千米长的身躯将小岛缓缓盘绕起来，仰起蛇头，冲着天空闭上双眼发出长长的嘶吼。 咔嚓！
一道闪电陡然划过小岛上空，无数黑云密布，将最后一丝光线彻底遮掩住，把整个小岛彻底陷入无尽的黑暗阴影中。
黑暗中，只有巨蛇淡蓝色的身躯清晰可见。

Chapter 186: Escape (1)
Chapter 186: Escape (1) Translator: Leo Editor: DarkGem
The sky above the island was covered by dark clouds; the weather was changing.
On the cliff of a high mountain.
On the gray sundial, there were three translucent entrances that could disappear anytime. *PA*
Suddenly, a hand grabbed the edge of one of the entrances.
Two people jumped out of the tunnel together.
The one standing in the front was a young man with brown hair. That hair was wet from sweat and stuck to his forehead. The young man had a pair of sharp blue eye and a gray robe that looked a bit too large for his size.
A lady wearing a white robe followed after the young man. Her long black hair trailed down to her shoulders, and there were several scars on her pretty face.
Angele and Isabel finally left the tunnel after running like crazy for several minutes.
"Don’t stop! Our boat should be safe, I left several people there guarding it. We need to leave the island!" Isabell yelled. She looked anxious as she rushed to the stairs that led to the foot of the mountain.
Angele nodded but did not say anything. He took one final glance at the tunnel and followed after Isabel.
The three entrances slowly disappeared from the sundial and everything returned to normal.
The gnomon of the sundial turned white after several seconds.
*CHI* A ray of white light shot from the tip of the gnomon and streaked into the sky.
The white string connected the cliff and the sky.
Angele noticed what happened to the sundial and hastened his steps.
The two kept running down the hill. They turned several times on the way to take short-cuts.
Ten minutes later they returned to the beach that the boat was secured in.
"Impossible! Where’s the boat?"
Isabel stared at the empty shore, looking surprised.
It was as if the boat had taken the team and completely disappeared, leaving no trace on the surface of the sea.
Blue waves were hitting the yellow beach from time to time, but besides them, the place was deadly silent.
The water from the sea was circling between the gaps of the reefs.
"Where’s the boat?!"
Isabel started panicking, she ran into the sea and circled around the area where the boat was anchored, but found nothing.
"Damn."
They guessed that the missing boat was part of the series of mysterious happenings in the ruin. If the blue wizard illusions destroyed the boat, it would be a huge problem.
Angele stopped by the edge of the beach and started checking the surroundings.
"Is there a way that you can get in contact with the people on the ship?" he asked, turning his head toward her.
Isabel took a deep breath and calmed down. She looked different, her face was no longer emotionless. She quickly took out a small golden ball from the pouch after Angele’s words. *Clank*
Several black needles rose from the surface of the ball. Isabel picked one of the needles and twisted it.
The golden ball disappeared from her palm, drew a golden line in the air, and flew into the air.
The needles soared through the air and flew in different directions, then all disappeared after several seconds.
"Har-rim-las!" Isabel chanted the incantation in a loud voice. The word she said meant ‘the mother of light’ in Anmag.
They waited for a while until they saw a golden line coming from the left; it connected itself to the ball in the air.
"That direction!" Isabel yelled and started running.
Angele nodded and followed after her.
The two ran along the coastline and found their boat under a stone cliff after about ten minutes.
The small black boat was stuck between reefs, and there was a golden string on the sail.
The wind and the waves were getting stronger and stronger.
The clouds in the sky were getting darker, completely blocking the sunlight. It was noon but it looked like evening.
Angele and Isabel stepped into the water and ran to the boat.
Isabel rubbed on the white ring she had and a white magic circle appeared under her feet. The magic circle slowly lifted her up and she easily jumped onto the deck after several seconds.
Angele pointed at the boat and a long silver metal string left the tip of his finger, embedding itself into the railing. He pulled the string, jumped to the railing, and climbed onto the deck as well.
The boat was deadly silent. He could not see anyone around.
Isabel went straight to the cabin after stepping on to the deck.
After several minutes, she dragged two men outside.
The two were wearing dark red leather armor and both were unconscious. Angele saw the weapons in their hands, blood dripping down the blades.
"One of them was Ainphent’s follower, and they were both assailed by the illusions. The illusion made them think that the two of them were enemies. The curse is way too strong, we must go," Isabel said calmly. She took a deep breath again and tried to figure out a plan of what to do next.
"Don’t worry too much about it. The curse only affects the targeted population I believe. Also, I have a special way to deal with it."
Angele pursed his lips to a smile. He had already tested the power of the signet several times and was certain that he could help the people around him.
"Well, I know you probably lifted the curse for me temporarily, but the thing is more complicated than you think," Isabel said, her voice low.
"Look at this."
She turned her head to the left and pulled the collar to the right, revealing her clean, white shoulder.
Angele saw a sundial-shaped black pattern on Isabel’s shoulder which looked like a tattoo.
"This pattern means that the curse is not completely lifted and this is just one of the many patterns that appeared on my body." Isabel shook her head. "We need to drive the boat to the original location and wait for Melissa’s group. If they don’t come back in half an hour, we’ll have to leave."
Angele was a bit surprised after seeing the pattern. He slightly rubbed his left hand—it seemed like the signet could only completely lift the curse for its owner.
The blood from ancient harpies worked. They were the masters of controlling the illusions, and they could resist most of the illusion spells.
Angele heard someone screaming when he was about to talk.
"It’s Melissa!" Isabel shouted. She raised her head and looked at the sky. "Oh! God!"
She covered her mouth with the right hand. It seemed like she could not believe what was happening.
Angele scrunched his eyebrows. He could sense the presence of countless energy particles. They were howling like the wind that was about to brush the negative energy particles off his body.
The silver plate was slowly rotating and more than ten thousand different white runes were flashing upon it.
"I shall cleanse this island with the purest power," Melissa’s voice echoed in the sky. It was loud and deep.
The bright light from the plate shined upon the whole island. That light was gentle and clean, even the dark clouds now looked white. Distorted waves spread through the air and changed the air flow around the island.
The wind brought by the plate sent warmth to every corner of the island. Angele felt relaxed and his mind became peaceful.
It was a large-scale spell, and spells like this were usually casted during wars. Their single-target damage was usually low, but their range was incredible.
*Roar* Suddenly, a huge mouth appeared and bit the plate. The creature swung its head and swallowed the whole thing.
The noise it made while swallowing sounded like thunder striking the ground.
Melissa was swallowed together with the plate before she could react.
A glowing blue sea serpent had appeared from nowhere. Its ears looked like bat wings, and there were two rays of light coming out of its eyes. It almost looked like the eyeballs were replaced by burning flames.
Angele and Isabel could not understand what had just happened.
After several seconds, Angele shouted.
Angele went to control the helm as Isabel took out a yellow pouch and poured something into the air. Green dust spread onto the main sail and turned into a small tornado.
The boat shook several times and moved through the reefs. It started advancing to the opposite side of the island quickly.
*CHI*
A circle of green light appeared above the boat and quickly spread onto its body.
The speed of the boat was greatly increased. It was moving away from the island like an arrow leaving a bowstring.
The serpent was more than 1000 meters long. It slowly twisted around the island and raised its head. The strong sound coming from its mouth sounded like a beast roaring.
*Rumble* The lightning flashed upon the island and the dark clouds blocked the last ray of light. The whole area sank into darkness.
The blue serpent’s glowing body was the last visible thing above the sea.

第四百五十四章
直播第一法则：互动！ 直播间的观众全都没想到岛爷居然开了竞猜赌盘，居然还直接修改了房间标题：手握太刀！ 游戏结束！
直播间的弹幕顿然炸开。
“卧槽！ 岛爷！ 小猪佩奇招你惹你了啊！”
“我佩奇有句MMP不知当讲不当讲。”
“太刀杀二十个……岛爷，你以为这是刀战啊？ 人家可是拿枪滴呀，你怎么可能玩的过？”
“击杀人数20或以上，能或者不能？
很显然，因为岛爷这个霸气的竞猜赌盘和醒目的房间标题，弹幕直接爆炸了……王令目光扫着弹幕，发现弹幕里头果然还是质疑声居多，甚至已经有其他房间的主播跑到光道人的直播间来“串门”，公开DISS光道人为了吸引观众，而取这种标题党的房间号。
直播间的观众人数也是在各大主播串门DISS的声势之下，越来越多，从原先的两百多万，飙升到二百八十多万。
这里面，有岛爷的追光者，有其他主播的粉丝，更多的则是凑热闹的吃瓜群众。
短短几天时间，直播间的观众数人数能恒定在二百多万，甚至目前还有接近三百万的趋势。 最关键的是，每一天的新增观众里头都有相当大的一部分人被光道人的直播逗乐，转化为“追光者”。
光道人头一天开直播的时候，十块钱一个的“追光者”主播铭牌就已经有八十万人领取。
这项记录，的的确确如陈超和郭二蛋当时说的那样，已经超过近几年来直播平台记录了。
这里面有光道人本身的一些运气，当然更多的还是光道人迅速掌握的直播法则。
直播的第一法则是什么？
就是互动！
与观众多互动，在保证文明用语的情况下飚骚话，调侃一些社会热点事件编编段子之类的。
然后在这些的基础上，增加直播元素，让老观众觉得不厌倦的同时，也能吸引越来越多的新观众。
尽管现在直播间里的弹幕比之前变得有些“不干净”了，质疑声很多，还有许多其余主播的粉丝混杂在直播间发着各种“反串黑的弹幕”和“引战弹幕”。
不过王令心想，光道人是绝不会在意的……毕竟是真仙境，长久修炼的心境摆在那里，别说是质疑声，你就是在直播间公开去骂，光道人也丝毫不会在意。
毕竟，当一个直播间观众数多了以后，肯定难免是有喷子的。
其实王令还挺担心这些喷子的人身安全的……因为喷子们有个相当大的特点，就是网上横、网下怂，作为一名喷子，不能顺着网线和IFI去打主播。
此时此刻，弹幕里带节奏的声音一大片。
“举报举报！ 这个主播故意博眼球！”
“根据直播平台规定，如果判定是标题党主播会被施以七至十五天的封禁惩罚！ 大家都散了吧，这个主播已经凉了，走之前记得给过世主播上柱香。”
过世主播？
光道人瞄到了这条弹幕，心中顿时一阵哑然——他发现，自己居然无法反驳！
他的确是已经死了啊！
不过对于这些带着质疑，甚至是有着叫嚣和叫骂的弹幕，光道人并未对这些人进行封禁。
他所追求的就是这个效果。
有时候，受到质疑并不是一件坏事。
对于光道人来说，在自己已经有了一定粉丝基础的情况下，质疑声的作用只会帮助他更加扩充自己的粉丝数而已。
光道人看了眼直播间的观众数。
在他修改了标题五分钟不到的时间里。
现在直播间的人数已经突破到了三百万……史无前例的增长速度！
在新增的一百万观众里，能把四分之一甚至更多转化为追光者，光道人今天的直播目标也就达成了。
此时，第一个毒圈的五分钟限制时间已到，地图开始缩小，全图中还剩下83人。
光道人的运气还算不错，虽然不需要跑毒，但位置距离安全区中心还是有些距离的，如果这个时候再缩着不走，下一波毒圈缩小的时候，他所控制的角色肯定要吃毒。
而且，光道人已经定下了杀20人或以上的目标。 如果要完成，那么从现在开始就必须进行疯狂的杀戮，在这剩下的83个他得用太刀解决掉四分之一的人，这种难度光是想象就很大。
所以，在光道人决定正式动手的时候，他就将赌盘给封了。
并且，大多数人选择了不能。
当然也有铤而走险的赌徒。
实在是太诱人了！ “我不管我不管，我追光者就支持岛爷！
这一条弹幕自然也让光道人看在眼里。
既然开了赌盘，那么老夫就有绝对的自信！ 接下来的直播，请各位观众睁大眼睛，想录屏的赶紧录屏，别到时候等老夫真的杀了20个以上，说老夫开挂。 能检测出外挂，算我输！”
这也太自信了！
这个时候，直播间里一条置顶的高级彩色弹幕映入所有人眼帘。
这条弹幕，是光道人的第一粉丝【三天两觉更新了吗】发的。
上面写道：太刀是全新出的近战武器，是目前所有近战武器中最长的一款，而且伤害很高！ 不过地图刷新率却很低，很多主播都未必捡得到！
在之前岛爷直播的时候，在座的各位有谁见到过岛爷用过太刀？ 这条弹幕一出，瞬间把所有人问住了。

Chapter 454 Interaction!
The audience in the live stream room hadn't expected Lord Island to activate the guess and gamble function at all, or to actually change the room title to: Katana in Hand! Game Over! The Whole Game is My Pig Farm – One Hit, One Peppa Pig!
The live stream room's bullet messages suddenly exploded.
"What the f**k! Lord Island! Why are you taking it out on Peppa Pig?!"
"My Peppa might say MMP if she knew."
"Kill twenty people with a katana... Lord Island, do you think this is a knife battle? Everyone is using guns, how can you possibly fight them?"
"Kill twenty people or more, yes or no? That's easy!"
It was clear that thanks to Lord Island's eye-catching guess and gamble event and room title, the bullet messages had directly exploded. Sweeping his gaze over them, Wang Ling realized that most of them were still calling Lord Island into question. Some live streamers had even come running over to pay Daoist Guang's live stream room a "visit" and diss him for using this click bait title to attract more viewers. But it was a fact that this gimmick was working.
Because of the influence of these big live streamers paying Daoist Guang a visit and dissing him, the number of viewers in the live stream room continued to climb, and from over two million people, had soared to over 2.8 million.
This comprised Lord Island's Light Chasers and fans of other live streamers, and even more of them were casual viewers just joining in on the fun.
In a short few days, live stream audience numbers were already constant at over two million, and currently, it looked like it would even reach three million. The most important thing was that there were new viewers every day who, amused by Daoist Guang's live stream, would become "Light Chasers."
On the first day of Daoist Guang's live stream, eight hundred thousand people had already purchased the "Light Chaser" tag that cost ten HNY. Now, the number of Light Chasers had broken the watershed million mark.
Just as Super Chen and Dopey Guo had said previously, this had broken the live streaming platform's record of the past few years.
There was no other new live streamer on any other live streaming platform who could match Daoist Guang's numbers in the first week of his live stream.
What was the first rule of a live stream?
It was interaction!
While interacting with the audience, live streamers could provide entertaining commentary while still being mindful of their language as well as make idle talk about trending current events. Using this as a foundation, live streamers could widen their scope to keep the live stream fresh for old viewers and at the same time attract new ones. It was obvious that Daoist Guang had managed to do this.
Moreover, he had also learned how to use "gimmicks" to attract viewers.
The bullet messages now weren't as "clean" as before, with a lot of them expressing doubts, plus there were a lot of fans of other live streamers sending reverse fan bullet messages as well as provoking messages.
However, Wang Ling felt that Daoist Guang wouldn't care at all; after all, as a True Immortal with a highly cultivated mind, he wouldn't pay the slightest bit of attention if people started cursing him out in the live stream room, to say nothing of those voicing their doubts.
In the end, after audience numbers increased to a certain point, trolls were inevitable.
Actually, Wang Ling was pretty worried about the personal safety of these trolls, because the biggest characteristic of trolls was that while they were savage online, they were cowards in real life; a troll wouldn't track a network connection and WIFI back to a live streamer to beat them up.
At that moment, the bullet messages were setting the tone for the live stream.
"Report, report! This live streamer is being deliberately gimmicky!"
"According to the rules of the live streaming platform, if a live streamer is judged to have used click bait content, they'll be banned for seven to fifteen days! Everybody just leave. This live streamer is already old news; remember to burn incense for him before you leave."
A dead live streamer?
Daoist Guang glanced at this bullet message and was instantly speechless; he realized he actually couldn't refute this!
He was indeed already dead!
However, Daoist Guang didn't ban the bullet messages calling him into question or even those that jeered at or cursed him out.
This was the result he was looking for.
It wasn't bad to be doubted sometimes.
As far as Daoist Guang was concerned, once he already had a fan base, the doubts could only help to increase his fan numbers.
He looked at the number of viewers in his live stream room.
It hadn't even been five minutes since he had changed the title.
The number had already broken three million – this was an unprecedented rate of increase!
If a quarter of his new one million viewers became Light Chasers, Daoist Guang would have accomplished his live stream goal for today.
At that moment, the five-minute window for the first blue circle had passed and the map started to shrink. There were eighty-three people left on it.
Daoist Guang was lucky that he didn't need to run from the blue circle, but he was still some distance away from the central safe zone. If he didn't start moving now, the next time the circle shrunk, his character would definitely be caught outside it.
Moreover, he had already set a goal of twenty kills or more. If he wanted to accomplish this, he had to start his massacre now. It was easy to imagine how hard it was going to be to get rid of a quarter of the remaining eighty-three people with a katana.
Thus, after officially deciding to make his move, he closed the bet.
And most of them had selected No.
Of course, these were also some bold gamblers.
"I don't care, I don't care, this Light Chaser supports Lord Island! Ten thousand immortal elixirs! All in! I'm betting on Lord Island's victory!"
Daoist Guang naturally saw this bullet message.
He straightaway replied to it in a composed manner, "Indeed, I may have to improve my shooting skills, but this old man's sword skills won't let you down! Since I opened a bet, I have absolute confidence in myself! Everyone, please have your eyes wide open for the rest of the live stream. If you want to record it, feel free to do so. When the time comes after I've killed twenty people or more, don't say that I cheated. If you can detect any cheats, then you can consider it my loss!"
This was being too confident!
At this time, a multi-colored bullet message sticky appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
It was from Daoist Guang's number one fan, [Has Three Days And Two Sleeps Been Updated].
It read: The katana is the latest in melee weapons and currently the one with the longest reach. It's also very lethal! However, the drop rate for this weapon on the map is very low and not a lot of live streamers are able to pick it up! Everyone settle down and watch Lord Island in action! Is there anyone present who has ever seen him use a katana in his live stream before?
When this message appeared, everyone was instantly stumped.This refers to anti-fans who, rather than outright criticizing or slandering someone, take the opposite route of praising them so exaggeratedly that other people can't help but hate them.

Unfortunately, the string of unexpected events that occurred in the Bloodsoul Sword Cave after he entered it caused him to not have the slightest opportunity to test his strength.\nNow, the seven General Rank Xeno-race experts before him were undoubtedly the best whetstone for him.\nlevel of the Earthly Immortal Realm. These seven great figures were absolutely existences that could be overlords in any other place, and if they joined forces, they were practically capable of sweeping through any first-rate power in the Dark Reverie.\nYet now, they were forcefully pinned down by Chen Xi, causing their expressions to become heavy and serious, and they didn’t dare take Chen Xi to be an ordinary figure any longer.\nlevel of the Earthly Immortal Realm? Moreover, it wasn’t a single one, but seven!\nSuch a freak was practically impossible to find in the various worlds in the Outerealm!\nTheir attacks became more and more swift and fierce, and it was even to the extent that they withdrew their trump card magic treasures.\nThe same thought arose in all of their hearts. If this kid isn’t eliminated today, then with his natural endowment, he will surely mature into a great figure of the three dimensions, and he’ll absolutely be an enormous potential threat to all of us.\nWith this realization, these seven great figures from the Xeno-race who were formidable existences at the General Rank attacked even more mercilessly and ruthlessly. They stopped paying attention to everything else in the world, and they concentrated on eliminating Chen Xi.\nThe pressure on Chen Xi grew stronger and stronger!\nBut the battle intent in Chen Xi’s eyes rose steadily like blazing and seething lava, and it practically spayed out from him and incinerated the heavens and the earth.\nHe stopped holding back, and he teleported repeatedly. Moreover, even the Talisman Armament had appeared in his hand, and then he slashed out with numerous strands of Creation Sword Qi that deduced boundless profundities.\nFor a time, the entire heavens and earth were covered in torrents of sword qi that swept out both horizontally and vertically. Sword howls were like the tide as they rumbled and appeared abruptly within every inch of space in the world, and it shook the eardrums of everyone to the point of being on the verge of splitting apart.\nWithin an area of 5,000km, rocks shattered while wood transformed into splinters, and space seemed to have countless rifts torn open on it like a rage. Moreover, the ground seemed as if it was fiercely trampled on by a god, and it was filled with countless ravines and mottled with cracks.\nThere wasn’t a single inch of space that was unaffected!\nUnlike other Earthly Immortal Realm experts, Chen Xi’s teleportation was combined with the Wings of Disruption, causing him to carry Profound Disruption Divinelight that destroyed the five elements as he moved through space. This made the magic treasures and cultivation techniques of these Earthly Immortal Realms that contained the essence of the five elements to be unable to touch Chen Xi in the slightest.\nIt was common knowledge that no matter their rank, practically 90% of all the magic treasures in the world contained the essence of the five elements, and this meant that so long as Chen Xi wanted to dodge, no magic treasure was capable of trapping him.\nBut the only thing Chen Xi felt regretful towards was that the Spatial Grand Dao was too profound. Even though he learned without a teacher when he advanced into the Earthly Immortal Realm and grasped the art of teleportation, it was impossible for him to attain perfection in the Grand Dao without overcoming the sixth level of heavenly tribulation.\nThe sixth level of heavenly tribulation was called the Void Heavenly Tribulation, and the Void Lightning that descended from it contained boundless energy of Spatial tremors, crushing, and tearing, causing it to be terrifying to the extreme.\nSo long as one was able to overcome it steadily, an Earthly Immortal Realm expert’s grasp of Spatial Energy would arrive at an all new height, and the expert would be able to completely grasp this Grand Dao with some painstaking comprehension. At that time, not to mention moving 5,000km instantly, even 50,000km or 500,000km was possible with teleportation.\nBut the Spatial Grand Dao was also a rare and supreme Grand Dao. Besides being able to obtain it through the heavenly tribulation, the key was one’s own comprehension ability, and some Earthly Immortal Realm experts were unable to cultivate it to perfection even if they’d grasped it.\nSuch a rare Grand Dao was like the Grand Daos of Oblivion, Creation, Eternal, Light, Darkness, and so on and so forth. It wasn’t something than any Earthly Immortal Realm expert was capable of grasping completely.\nBang!\nZi Yaoyue held a rattan cane that was pitch black like ink and was covered in strange patterns that were inscribed on it. It was like a poisonous dragon as it slashed down at Chen Xi from the side.\nThe might of the rattan cane seemed to be obviously on par with an Immortal Artifact, and as soon as it was swung, it erupted with countless sharp and fine pins that enveloped down. It seemed as if it had taken Chen Xi to be an expanse of ground and intended to take root in Chen Xi’s body.\nChen Xi flipped his hand and struck out as soon as he saw this. The Crimsonfire Divine Talisman on the Talisman Armament surged into appearance and was suffused with a monstrous ocean of flames. Moreover, it was filled with fire element talisman markings of extreme Yang attribute, and it roiled and roared without restraint.\nZi Yaoyue’s cane was blasted away, and if it wasn’t for her avoiding in time, the surging flames would have almost incinerated her long hair.\n“Fight with all your strengths and go all out against this native kid!” Zi Yaoyue’s expression turned grim as she knew that they couldn’t drag the battle on any longer. Up until this point in the battle, the little fellow before them actually didn’t reveal the slightest trace of exhaustion, and his Immortal Energy seemed to be boundless. So if they continued to allow the battle to drag on, the party that would suffer misfortune in the end would be them.\n“Kill!” The others noticed this a long time before, so they gritted their teeth right away before charging over once more, and they’d exerted all their strengths and revealed ruthless appearances of intending to suffer heavy injuries in exchange for killing Chen Xi.\nThe pressure Chen Xi faced suddenly arose greatly once more. But it hadn’t arrived at his limit, and it caused him to feel slightly disappointed.\nlevel Earthly Immortal Realm experts while still in the Nether Transformation Realm. Now that he’d advanced into the Earthly Immortal Realm, his overall strength had undergone a tremendous change, and his strength was more than just a few times stronger than before.\nBut right when Chen Xi intended to kill them, an expanse of chilly starlight suddenly appeared in space. It was fine, misty, and suffused with a dreamlike and beautiful sheen, and it coiled around those seven Xeno-race experts.\nThis starlight was so beautiful, agile, and indistinct, and it was pure to the point others were even unable to arouse the intention to resist it.\nHowever, in the next moment, the figures of those seven Xeno-race experts suddenly stiffened, and they revealed a wisp of indescribable astonishment and terror.\nA wave of muffled sounds resounded out while every single pore on the bodies of those General Rank Xeno-race experts erupted with strands of blood. In the next moment, they lost all vitality and fell from midair before their bodies smashed onto the ground.\nIn merely an instant, seven Xeno-race experts that were capable of sweeping through any first-rate power in the Dark Reverie had perished just like this.\nAll of this happened too quickly!\nQuickly to the point is exceeded everyone’s imagination, quick to the point it didn’t even give Chen Xi the chance to make a move, and it was quick to the point that Liao Fan who’d always been hesitating in the distance about whether he should go forward to get a sense of existence didn’t even react to what had happened!\nChen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then he turned around and glanced fiercely towards the distance.\nSure enough, he saw A’xiu who had a guilty conscience embracing Bai Kui while intending to flee. She seemed to notice Chen Xi’s gaze, and she turned around while squeezing out a pure and sweet smile on her gorgeous face.\nAfter that, she swiftly left Chen Xi’s field of vision.\nChen Xi was angry, amused, and shocked. He was angry because he didn’t arrange any assignment for A’xiu, causing her to exploit this and ‘seize merits’ from him.\nHe was amused because she killed them in such a straightforward and resolute manner, yet she fled like a thief.\nAs for his shock, it was naturally because of A’xiu’s terrifying lethality. Even Chen Xi didn’t notice her making a move, yet she’d easily eliminated seven General Rank Xeno-race experts!\n“They’re dead?” Meanwhile, Liao Fan suddenly recovered from his shock, and he thought that all of this was done by Chen Xi, causing him to be unable to refrain from being slightly dazed. Moreover, it was a mystery if he felt a sense of loss at this moment because he didn’t get a sense of existence or because of his shock from the death of those seven Xeno-race experts.\nChen Xi glanced at Liao Fan with a slightly strange expression, and then he placed his attention towards the surroundings.\nAt this moment, the curtains to the battle outside Aquacove City had been drawn.\nWith the addition of Ling Bai, Mu Kui, A’Man, Meng Wei, Mo Ya, and the youths of the Ninth Hell Tribe, practically 30% of the vast Xeno-race army was annihilated, whereas the remaining fled when they saw the seven General Rank experts perishing. Due to them being too numerous in number, it was impossible to pursue them and kill them all.\nThis proved an old saying, an enormous number of enemies was like grass before absolute power, and they would only suffer the fate of having their lives reaped.\nThe ground was filled with layers of corpses while blood soaked the ground, and it seemed like an enormous pool of blood had formed outside the city, causing the extremely dense aura of blood to practically dye the air red and irritate the nose.\nBut no one felt sorrow for this, and it was even to the extent that waves of cheering had erupted on the walls that surrounded Aquacove City. The faces of everyone were covered in excitement and joy from surviving a calamity. Moreover, some were even excited to the point tears ran down their cheeks.\nSince the ancient times, the Xeno-race were the common enemy of the three dimensions. The Xeno-race was brutal, merciless, ruthless, and took all the living beings in the three dimensions to be lowly natives. Every time they occupied a place, they would surely slaughter all living beings without exception, and they never showed mercy.\nEveryone knew very clearly that if Swallow Kingdom was captured, then only death awaited them. So this was why they were so excited and unable to restrain themselves when they achieved a miraculous victory in this battle. Only someone that had experienced the test of life and death would understand how precious life was.\nEven though the curtains to the battle had been drawn, a question had arisen in Chen Xi’s heart instead. The question was why the Xeno-race would send out such a vast army to attack Swallow Kingdom?\nAfter all, Swallow Kingdom was extremely ordinary in the Dark Reverie, and there were rarely any fortuitous encounters like secret realms and treasure vaults that appeared in its territory. So, there was probably some other secret behind why the Xeno-race had sent out an army of 100,000 and seven General Rank experts!"

第八百八十九章
符文滔天，闪烁玄奥无比的神辉，将天地都淹没。
面对七尊域外强者的联袂攻势，陈汐这才感受到一种沉重的压力，这反而令他感到有些欣慰，心中战意不降反增。
早在晋级地仙境时，他就迫不及待想测试一下自己所学，可惜进入血魂剑洞之后，发生了一系列的变故，令得他根本没有测试实力的机会。
而现在，眼前这七个将相级的域外异族强者无疑是最佳的磨刀石。
这样七尊大人物，放在其他地方，绝对是称王称霸级别的存在，联袂出手，几乎能横扫玄寰域任何一方一流势力。
而现在，却被陈汐施展手段，死死牵制住，令得他们的神色也都变得凝重认真起来，再不敢把陈汐当做寻常人物看待。
这还不是一个，而是七个！
这样的怪胎，就是放在域外异族各大界面之中，也几乎找不出一个来！
他们的攻势越来越凌厉。 甚至，已祭出了自己压箱底的法宝。
心中皆都浮现出同样一个念头，此子今日不除，以他这等潜质，来日必然会成长为三界中的大人物，那对他们这些域外异族而言，绝对是一个潜在的巨大隐患。
有了这个认知，这七位来自域外异族的大人物，身为将相级的强大存在，出手愈发狠辣无情，已不再关注其他一切，一心要将陈汐给抹除掉。
压力越来越大！
不过，陈汐眼中的战意却也是节节攀升，如炽热沸腾的熔浆般，几乎要喷涌而出，将天地都焚化。
他已不再留手，频频施展空间挪移之术，手中更祭出了剑箓，劈斩出一道道演绎无穷玄机奥妙的造化剑气。
一时之间，整个天地间，到处都是匹练般的剑气，纵横捭阖，剑啸如潮，轰隆隆乍现在天地间的每一寸空间，震得人耳膜都要裂掉。
方圆万里之内，岩石齑粉，古木化为碎屑，虚空像布帛一般被撕裂出无数道裂缝，大地更像被神灵巨手狠狠蹂躏了无数次，沟壑纵横，龟裂斑驳。
再无一寸净土！
和其他地仙强者不同，陈汐的空间挪移之术在玄磁之翼的配合下，穿梭空间之时，裹挟着一股刷爆五行的玄磁之力，令得任何挟带五行精气的法宝、功法，都根本沾染不到他一丝一毫。
而众所周知，天地之间的法宝，无论何等品阶，几乎九成都蕴含着五行之精，这也就意味着，只要陈汐想要闪避，任何法宝都难以困住他的身影。
不过唯一遗憾的便在于，空间大道太过玄妙，晋级地仙时，虽能无师自通，便将空间挪移之术掌握，但想要将其臻至圆满境界，除非能渡过第六重雷劫。
第六重雷劫名为虚无雷劫，所降下的虚无雷霆，蕴含着无穷尽的空间撕扯、震荡、碾压之力，恐怖之极。
只要安稳渡过，地仙强者对空间之力的掌握就能达到一种全新的高度，努力参悟一番，就能将空间大道彻底吃透，届时进行虚空挪移，别说一瞬万里，十万里、百万里都有可能。
不过，空间大道同样是一种罕见的无上大道，除了能从天劫中获取，关键还要看自己的悟性，有些地仙老祖，即便能掌握，也很难将其修炼至圆满境界。
无他，太难了。 这等罕见大道，就如同沉沦、造化、不朽、光明、黑暗一般，不是随随便便一个地仙老祖，就能将其参悟吃透的。
轰！
紫耀月手持一柄漆黑如墨，表面篆刻许许多多稀奇古怪花纹的藤杖，犹如毒龙般，从一侧朝陈汐劈打而来。
这藤杖的威力明显和仙器不逞多让，一挥而出，爆绽出无数锋利细长的刺须，笼罩而下，仿似将陈汐当做了一片土壤，欲要在他身上扎根。
见此，陈汐反手就是一剑，剑箓表面赤帝火皇神箓涌现，弥漫出滔天火海，其中充斥着至刚至阳的火属性符文，翻滚咆哮，飞扬肆意。
轰的一声，紫耀月的藤杖被震开，若非躲避及时，那汹汹的火海差点将其长发都焚烧了。
“全力斩杀，和这土著小子拼了！” 紫耀月面色剧变，知道不能再拖下去，战斗至今，眼前这小家伙竟没有流露出一丝疲乏无力之色，仙元仿似无穷尽一般，若再拖下去，最终倒霉的或许就是他们了。
“杀！” 其他人也早发现了这一点，当即狠狠一咬牙，再次横冲而上，已拼了全力，一副拼到身受重伤也要将陈汐擒杀的狠戾模样。
陈汐的压力再次陡然大增，不过还没有达到他的极限，这让他甚至有些失望。
要知道，在冥化境时，他都能斩杀地仙五重强者了，如今晋级地仙境，整体实力发生了翻天覆地的质变，比之以往强大了何止数倍。
不过就在陈汐准备下杀手的时候，虚空中，突然飘洒出一片清冽的星辉，细碎迷离，泛着梦幻般美丽的光泽，缭绕在了那七个域外强者身上。
这些星辉是如此美丽，轻灵渺茫，纯净得令人根本都不会心生防御。
然而下一刻，那七尊域外强者却突然身子一僵，脸上露出一抹无法言喻的惊骇恐惧之色。
一阵沉闷的响声，那七尊来自域外异界拥有将相级实力的强者，浑身每一寸毛孔中都爆绽出一缕缕血花，下一刻，已是失去了生机，倒头栽落半空，砸在地面，彻底死绝！
仅仅一瞬间的功夫而已，七尊足以横扫玄寰域任何一流势力的强者，就此身陨道消。
这一切都太快了！
快得超乎想象，快得连陈汐动手的机会都不给，快得那一直僵立在远处犹疑着是否要上前刷存在感的廖樊都还没反应过来！
陈汐呆了片刻，旋即扭头，恶狠狠朝远处望去。
果然就看见，阿秀做贼心虚似的抱着白魁，正打算逃窜，她似乎察觉到了陈汐的目光，扭过头，清美妍丽的小脸上挤出一个纯净甜美的笑容。
然后，她就一溜烟地离开了陈汐的视野。
陈汐又是好气又是好笑又是心惊，好气的是之前没帮阿秀安排一个任务干，致使她钻空子跑自己这边抢“功劳”。
好笑的是，她杀人都如此干脆利落，偏偏像个贼似的开溜了。
至于心惊，当然来自阿秀那恐怖的杀伤力，连陈汐甚至都没察觉到她出手的动静，就轻易铲除了域外异族的七个将相级强者！
“死了？” 这时候，廖樊才猛地惊醒过来，还以为这一切都是陈汐所做，神情不禁有些恍惚，也不知为没刷到存在感而失落，还是在为那七个域外强者的死而震惊。
陈汐有些奇怪地看了廖樊一眼，便把注意力扫向其他地方。
此时，泸水城外的战斗，也已将要落下帷幕。
有了灵白、木奎、黄毛小熊阿蛮、蒙维、莫娅、一众九幽部落少年们的加入，浩浩荡荡的十万域外异族大军，几乎被杀了三成，剩下的在见到那七个将相级强者陨落后，也都轰然逃窜，由于人太多，追杀都追杀不过来。
这也正印证了那句话，在绝对的力量面前，数目再庞大的敌人，也如同草芥一般，唯有被收割屠戮的份儿。
大地上，已被层层叠叠的尸体所充斥，血水浸透大地，仿若在城外形成了一个巨大的血泊，浓烈无比的血腥气，几乎将空气都染红了，呛鼻之极。
这是一幅触目惊心的画面。 不过并没有人为此而悲悯，甚至，那泸水城四周城墙上，此刻已是爆发出一阵阵欢呼，每个人脸上都写满了劫后余生的兴奋和喜悦。 有人甚至激动得泪流满面。
域外异族，自古至今就是三界共同的敌人，他们残暴、无情、狠辣、视三界众生为卑贱的土著，每抢占一地，必定屠戮一城的生灵，从无例外，也从无手软。
所有人都清楚，如果大燕国沦陷，等待他们的唯有死亡一途，所以当这一场战争奇迹般的取得胜利时，他们才会如此激动，如此不能自抑，唯有里经过生死考验的人，方才最明白生存之宝贵。
战斗虽落幕，但陈汐心中却有一个疑惑升起，那就是，为何域外异族会派出如此浩大的队伍前来攻打大燕国？
要知道，大燕国在玄寰域中极为普通，境内也甚少有秘境、宝库一类的机缘出现，域外异族却派出十万大军，七尊将相级强者前来，这其中只怕是另有玄虚！

Chapter 889 Annihilating All With One Strike
Talisman markings surged while flickering with an extremely profound divine radiance, and they drowned the entire heavens and the earth.
Chen Xi finally felt heavy pressure when facing the joint attacks of seven Xeno-race experts, and this caused him to feel slightly gratified while his battle intent didn’t wane, but grew instead.
Long ago when he advanced into the Earthly Immortal Realm, he impatiently wanted to test his ability. Unfortunately, the string of unexpected events that occurred in the Bloodsoul Sword Cave after he entered it caused him to not have the slightest opportunity to test his strength.
Now, the seven General Rank Xeno-race experts before him were undoubtedly the best whetstone for him.
level of the Earthly Immortal Realm. These seven great figures were absolutely existences that could be overlords in any other place, and if they joined forces, they were practically capable of sweeping through any first-rate power in the Dark Reverie.
Yet now, they were forcefully pinned down by Chen Xi, causing their expressions to become heavy and serious, and they didn’t dare take Chen Xi to be an ordinary figure any longer.
level of the Earthly Immortal Realm? Moreover, it wasn’t a single one, but seven!
Such a freak was practically impossible to find in the various worlds in the Outerealm!
Their attacks became more and more swift and fierce, and it was even to the extent that they withdrew their trump card magic treasures.
The same thought arose in all of their hearts. If this kid isn’t eliminated today, then with his natural endowment, he will surely mature into a great figure of the three dimensions, and he’ll absolutely be an enormous potential threat to all of us.
With this realization, these seven great figures from the Xeno-race who were formidable existences at the General Rank attacked even more mercilessly and ruthlessly. They stopped paying attention to everything else in the world, and they concentrated on eliminating Chen Xi.
The pressure on Chen Xi grew stronger and stronger!
But the battle intent in Chen Xi’s eyes rose steadily like blazing and seething lava, and it practically spayed out from him and incinerated the heavens and the earth.
He stopped holding back, and he teleported repeatedly. Moreover, even the Talisman Armament had appeared in his hand, and then he slashed out with numerous strands of Creation Sword Qi that deduced boundless profundities.
For a time, the entire heavens and earth were covered in torrents of sword qi that swept out both horizontally and vertically. Sword howls were like the tide as they rumbled and appeared abruptly within every inch of space in the world, and it shook the eardrums of everyone to the point of being on the verge of splitting apart.
Within an area of 5,000km, rocks shattered while wood transformed into splinters, and space seemed to have countless rifts torn open on it like a rage. Moreover, the ground seemed as if it was fiercely trampled on by a god, and it was filled with countless ravines and mottled with cracks.
There wasn’t a single inch of space that was unaffected!
Unlike other Earthly Immortal Realm experts, Chen Xi’s teleportation was combined with the Wings of Disruption, causing him to carry Profound Disruption Divinelight that destroyed the five elements as he moved through space. This made the magic treasures and cultivation techniques of these Earthly Immortal Realms that contained the essence of the five elements to be unable to touch Chen Xi in the slightest.
It was common knowledge that no matter their rank, practically 90% of all the magic treasures in the world contained the essence of the five elements, and this meant that so long as Chen Xi wanted to dodge, no magic treasure was capable of trapping him.
But the only thing Chen Xi felt regretful towards was that the Spatial Grand Dao was too profound. Even though he learned without a teacher when he advanced into the Earthly Immortal Realm and grasped the art of teleportation, it was impossible for him to attain perfection in the Grand Dao without overcoming the sixth level of heavenly tribulation.
The sixth level of heavenly tribulation was called the Void Heavenly Tribulation, and the Void Lightning that descended from it contained boundless energy of Spatial tremors, crushing, and tearing, causing it to be terrifying to the extreme.
So long as one was able to overcome it steadily, an Earthly Immortal Realm expert’s grasp of Spatial Energy would arrive at an all new height, and the expert would be able to completely grasp this Grand Dao with some painstaking comprehension. At that time, not to mention moving 5,000km instantly, even 50,000km or 500,000km was possible with teleportation.
But the Spatial Grand Dao was also a rare and supreme Grand Dao. Besides being able to obtain it through the heavenly tribulation, the key was one’s own comprehension ability, and some Earthly Immortal Realm experts were unable to cultivate it to perfection even if they’d grasped it.
Such a rare Grand Dao was like the Grand Daos of Oblivion, Creation, Eternal, Light, Darkness, and so on and so forth. It wasn’t something than any Earthly Immortal Realm expert was capable of grasping completely.
Bang!
Zi Yaoyue held a rattan cane that was pitch black like ink and was covered in strange patterns that were inscribed on it. It was like a poisonous dragon as it slashed down at Chen Xi from the side.
The might of the rattan cane seemed to be obviously on par with an Immortal Artifact, and as soon as it was swung, it erupted with countless sharp and fine pins that enveloped down. It seemed as if it had taken Chen Xi to be an expanse of ground and intended to take root in Chen Xi’s body.
Chen Xi flipped his hand and struck out as soon as he saw this. The Crimsonfire Divine Talisman on the Talisman Armament surged into appearance and was suffused with a monstrous ocean of flames. Moreover, it was filled with fire element talisman markings of extreme Yang attribute, and it roiled and roared without restraint.
Zi Yaoyue’s cane was blasted away, and if it wasn’t for her avoiding in time, the surging flames would have almost incinerated her long hair.
“Fight with all your strengths and go all out against this native kid!” Zi Yaoyue’s expression turned grim as she knew that they couldn’t drag the battle on any longer. Up until this point in the battle, the little fellow before them actually didn’t reveal the slightest trace of exhaustion, and his Immortal Energy seemed to be boundless. So if they continued to allow the battle to drag on, the party that would suffer misfortune in the end would be them.
“Kill!” The others noticed this a long time before, so they gritted their teeth right away before charging over once more, and they’d exerted all their strengths and revealed ruthless appearances of intending to suffer heavy injuries in exchange for killing Chen Xi.
The pressure Chen Xi faced suddenly arose greatly once more. But it hadn’t arrived at his limit, and it caused him to feel slightly disappointed.
level Earthly Immortal Realm experts while still in the Nether Transformation Realm. Now that he’d advanced into the Earthly Immortal Realm, his overall strength had undergone a tremendous change, and his strength was more than just a few times stronger than before.
But right when Chen Xi intended to kill them, an expanse of chilly starlight suddenly appeared in space. It was fine, misty, and suffused with a dreamlike and beautiful sheen, and it coiled around those seven Xeno-race experts.
This starlight was so beautiful, agile, and indistinct, and it was pure to the point others were even unable to arouse the intention to resist it.
However, in the next moment, the figures of those seven Xeno-race experts suddenly stiffened, and they revealed a wisp of indescribable astonishment and terror.
A wave of muffled sounds resounded out while every single pore on the bodies of those General Rank Xeno-race experts erupted with strands of blood. In the next moment, they lost all vitality and fell from midair before their bodies smashed onto the ground.
In merely an instant, seven Xeno-race experts that were capable of sweeping through any first-rate power in the Dark Reverie had perished just like this.
All of this happened too quickly!
Quickly to the point is exceeded everyone’s imagination, quick to the point it didn’t even give Chen Xi the chance to make a move, and it was quick to the point that Liao Fan who’d always been hesitating in the distance about whether he should go forward to get a sense of existence didn’t even react to what had happened!
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then he turned around and glanced fiercely towards the distance.
Sure enough, he saw A’xiu who had a guilty conscience embracing Bai Kui while intending to flee. She seemed to notice Chen Xi’s gaze, and she turned around while squeezing out a pure and sweet smile on her gorgeous face.
After that, she swiftly left Chen Xi’s field of vision.
Chen Xi was angry, amused, and shocked. He was angry because he didn’t arrange any assignment for A’xiu, causing her to exploit this and ‘seize merits’ from him.
He was amused because she killed them in such a straightforward and resolute manner, yet she fled like a thief.
As for his shock, it was naturally because of A’xiu’s terrifying lethality. Even Chen Xi didn’t notice her making a move, yet she’d easily eliminated seven General Rank Xeno-race experts!
“They’re dead?” Meanwhile, Liao Fan suddenly recovered from his shock, and he thought that all of this was done by Chen Xi, causing him to be unable to refrain from being slightly dazed. Moreover, it was a mystery if he felt a sense of loss at this moment because he didn’t get a sense of existence or because of his shock from the death of those seven Xeno-race experts.
Chen Xi glanced at Liao Fan with a slightly strange expression, and then he placed his attention towards the surroundings.
At this moment, the curtains to the battle outside Aquacove City had been drawn.
With the addition of Ling Bai, Mu Kui, A’Man, Meng Wei, Mo Ya, and the youths of the Ninth Hell Tribe, practically 30% of the vast Xeno-race army was annihilated, whereas the remaining fled when they saw the seven General Rank experts perishing. Due to them being too numerous in number, it was impossible to pursue them and kill them all.
This proved an old saying, an enormous number of enemies was like grass before absolute power, and they would only suffer the fate of having their lives reaped.
The ground was filled with layers of corpses while blood soaked the ground, and it seemed like an enormous pool of blood had formed outside the city, causing the extremely dense aura of blood to practically dye the air red and irritate the nose.
But no one felt sorrow for this, and it was even to the extent that waves of cheering had erupted on the walls that surrounded Aquacove City. The faces of everyone were covered in excitement and joy from surviving a calamity. Moreover, some were even excited to the point tears ran down their cheeks.
Since the ancient times, the Xeno-race were the common enemy of the three dimensions. The Xeno-race was brutal, merciless, ruthless, and took all the living beings in the three dimensions to be lowly natives. Every time they occupied a place, they would surely slaughter all living beings without exception, and they never showed mercy.
Everyone knew very clearly that if Swallow Kingdom was captured, then only death awaited them. So this was why they were so excited and unable to restrain themselves when they achieved a miraculous victory in this battle. Only someone that had experienced the test of life and death would understand how precious life was.
Even though the curtains to the battle had been drawn, a question had arisen in Chen Xi’s heart instead. The question was why the Xeno-race would send out such a vast army to attack Swallow Kingdom?
After all, Swallow Kingdom was extremely ordinary in the Dark Reverie, and there were rarely any fortuitous encounters like secret realms and treasure vaults that appeared in its territory. So, there was probably some other secret behind why the Xeno-race had sent out an army of 100,000 and seven General Rank experts!

"from": "gpt",
"value": "Gegengol, ruled by a tribe known as the Hirasu tribe, had a tribal chief who claimed blood relationship with the Family of Gold and shared common ancestry with the Great Khan Gu Erduo of the Golden Tent. The chieftain held the title of the “Grand Sun King” because of this.\nAt present, the Grand Sun King has no lack of progenies, amongst them, Agula was barely noticeable amidst the myriads of contests for the King’s regard. His mother was a female slave who had been forced into coition during one of the King’s many drunken binges.\n“Agula was hardly a gifted student in the arts of martial combat, but his son, called Aersilen was an outstanding talent. Agula had high expectations for his son’s prospects, retaining faith and optimism that his son’s future prominence might bring honor to his name. Agula expended extensive investments to equip his son with the most exceptional education in martial disciplines. At the ripe age of twenty, Aersilen had unsealed his Seventh Aperture and had freshly contrived his Inner World. Alas by cruel fate he was preyed upon by the skulking Wolf King. His throat torn asunder, and his life was forfeit in the hands of the Wolf King in a tent at Gegengol.”\nOne by one through different tents, Wuen led Meng Qi through the folds of the yurts as he continued, “Thus, in a dilemma Agula found himself to be. His lacking political standing and his kinsmen’s grudge towards Aersilen’s glimmering talent have placed him in a most delicate position. The great warriors of the Hirasu tribe had allegedly given their word to put an end to the savagery of the Wolf King. Sadly, those are but hollow words. They had not the true intent to truly seek out the Wolf King and eliminate him. Thus, driven by discontentment and disgust, he was compelled to join the Wolf-Slaying League.”\nSometimes, the old Wuen would help Agula sell some shady goods and fur from the south, and he had learned of Agula’s experience by accident.\n“Wolf King was particular about the target for murder…” said Meng Qi who noticed this point.\nWolf King had never killed the lineal shaman of Changsheng Denomination, Gold Tent’s descendants and even people related to Great Master. But as for Aersilen, he lived with the envy of others, although the elder members of their family neglected his father. For this reason, he was killed by Wolf King even if there was a peerless master at the Hirasu tribe.\nWuen laughed and said, “The Wolf King would have reduced the food for livestock if he didn’t consider this. He could not hide for a long time if he were targeted by the powerful shaman or Gold Tent master even if he got the mystique and was very cautious.”\n“Anyway, Wolf King was indeed well-informed since he could keep away from the people he couldn’t offend during his random murders…” Meng Qi thought.\nWuen stopped near several tents and went up to talk with the warrior who guarded the tents and gave him a silver cake.\nWhile Wuen was talking with the warrior, Meng Qi looked that place over, pretending to look around carelessly. These tents were away from others in a certain distance, with warriors around to guard them. There were invisible columns in the dark place. There also seemed to be the secret guarders hiding at the interstice on the top of the tents.\nThe horses, flocks, and herds were orderly arranged, without any disorder at all. The footmen and slaves passing by were also in solemn order.\n“Agula could not be belittled, and he was also a talented person…” Meng Qi didn’t look down on Agula due to his inferior Kung Fu body potentials. Instead, he found from the details that Agula had a great ability concerning leadership.\nAfter a short while, the guard came out and let Wuen and Meng Qi enter the tent.\nThe condition inside the tent naturally rose in Meng Qi’s mind after the tent’s curtain opened. There must be people standing or hiding at the place where there were guards.\nThere was a thick blanket covered on the ground, which made people feel very comfortable as one stood on it. Agula didn’t sit cross-legged as the ordinary grassland people. Instead, he placed some red tables and stools with the North Zhou Dynasty style inside the tent. There were some copper furnaces placed on the desks and each corner of the tent. They were burnt red by the fire, warming the tent in the winter.\nMeng Qi would feel that he came back to the North Zhou Dynasty had it not been for the cover cloth that surrounded the tent. It turned out that the grassland nobilities loved the goods from the south.\n“Wuen, I have told you not to visit me if there was nothing important,” Agula said in a low voice as if he made sounds from his abdomen.\nHe looked like an overweight ordinary grassland resident in middle age, but the sparkling jade ring on his hand and his steady eyes implied his real identity.\nExcept for other guards, there was a tall and burly guard without much hair. He stood behind Agula. His bulging muscle was full of strength, and the exposed skin covered with many green shaman patterns which might be tattoos or something magic.\nAgula pulled a long face and waved his hand to beckon the guards at the visible and invisible places to leave the tent. Only the strong man behind him stayed behind and perhaps the man hiding on the top of the tent remained there.\n“You can tell me your secret now.” Agula said in a low voice.\nWuen pointed at Meng Qi and flatly spoke, “He had a grudge against Wolf King and wanted to join the Wolf-slaying League.”\n“How dare those damn humble slaves to let the secret leak out?” Agula burst into anger and picked up the whip on the table as if he was going to lash someone.\nBut Wuen, as one of his partners, wasn’t frightened by his anger and took a step back with a smile. “Zhe Bie is skilled at sword technique and also has helped me save my goods. If he joins the Wolf-slaying League, he must devote himself to kill Wolf King. It’s good for you, right?”\nMeng Qi could not think of other good names to use on the grassland, so he called himself “Zhe Bie.” After Wuen introduced him, he coldly looked at Agula, putting his right hand on the sword handle and seeming to be getting ready for killing people within five steps.\n“Zhe Bie…” Agula squinted.\nThe tall and strong man behind him snorted and said, ” He is skilled at sword technique? Hum. There were many people skilled at saber play killed by Wolf King.”\n“Why do you conceive a hatred for Wolf King? Where are you from?”\n“Also, there are strict rules of our Wolf-slaying League. You must not be allowed to join in if you don’t have the corresponding strength or ability. You could only provide us with information in this case.”\nHe was vigilant against “Zhe Bie” who suddenly appeared and also did not show interest in his strength!\n“I’m a wandering swordsman without any relatives or friends killed by Wolf King…” Meng Qi deliberately paused for a little while.\n“Well, do you have any virulent hatred of him?” Agula got a little surprised.\nMeng Qi tried to reply in a few words, avoiding exposing the flaw of his grassland language. “I was once attacked by him.”\n“What?” Agula and the man behind him spoke at the same time with amazement.\nEven Wuen was very astounded since he heard it for the first time. “This Green-ribbon Arrester had managed to escape from the sneak-attack by Wolf King. It is no wonder that he dares to come here to hunt down Wolf King!”\nThere were less ten people who could survive from Wolf King’s sneak-attack within half step. Most of them had helpers nearby, so they could get the chance to escape away while Wolf King failed to hit them.\nThe strong man said rudely, “In Eternal Sky’s name, the liar must die by Wolf King! How dare you tell a lie just because Wolf King isn’t here?”\nHe naturally doubted the wandering swordsman, who wasn’t strong and powerful enough, could escape from the Wolf King’s attack. When coming to boast, he could also claim that he had attacked Wolf King and hurt him badly. After all, it was impossible for Wolf King to come clean.\nAgula frowned and had the same opinion with the strong man in his mind. He said to Wuen, “Zhe Bie is of dubious background, and his hatred of Wolf King isn’t verifiable. I’m afraid that others would not allow him to join the league even if I recommend him.”\nMeng Qi took a step forward and asked calmly, “Who of you has seen Wolf King use his movement?”\nBa Tu, the tall and robust man, looked a little pale while he recalled the past events. It seemed that he often had nightmares because of that. In a weak voice which was not dominant anymore, he said, “I didn’t see him personally, but I could feel that he was like an evil ghost and a wild wolf which was extremely powerful…In Eternal Sky’s name…”\n“You can have a try.” Meng Qi spoke simply with few words and looked incredibly cool.\nWith this, the whole tent became dark suddenly, and Ba Tu found the wandering swordsman in front of him disappeared.\nBut soon the fine hairs at his nape stood up as if there was an invisible knife attached there.\nHe then abruptly stepped forward and turned back, raising his right arm with the bulging muscle. He then hit in the air with a dull thud and produced a gust of fierce wind.\nBut he could just hit in the air.\nWhile the fresh wind blew, he felt that the sharp saber Qi was still hanging at his nape.\nThis time, Ba Tu chose to lunge forward, with his feet off the ground. He then vigorously snapped his whip. But he had also just kicked in the air as if there was no one at his back, only the invisible evil ghost!\nBa Tu tried over and over but still could not get rid of being tangled by the evil ghost. He also failed to free himself from the nightmare.\nThe sweat started forth upon his forehead as the movements of his fist became messier. The green shaman pattern on his skin made him full of energy, but it was of no use since he could not find the enemy.\nSuddenly, he saw Agula’s shocked face and also saw his own shadow reflecting in Agula’s pupils, but didn’t see anyone behind him!\n“Yes, it is the movement of Wolf King!” Ba Tu finally spoke with these words.\nHowever, what Agula had seen was different. “Zhe Bie” just slowly took a walk behind Ba Tu all the time. He followed Ba Tu to walk forward and turn back, but he stood behind Ba Tu from beginning to end. While Ba Tu kicked backward, he just took a step towards one side casually. When Ba Tu looked at Agula’s pupils, he aligned himself with Ba Tu and completely hid by means of Ba Tu’s tall and robust figure.\nMeng Qi seemed to play hide-and-seek with a child in the whole process, Covered with sweat, Ba Tu, who was extremely scared, made the process so weird to astonish others present.\nAgula took a breath and said to Meng Qi, “Zhe Bie, I believe you have fought with Wolf King.”\nHe thought that it was impossible to make Ba Tu mistake Zhe Bie for Wolf King if he didn’t fight with Wolf King. Agula also changed the way to call Meng Qi as he knew Meng Qi was a master reaching such a high level.\n“Can I get the chance to join Wolf-slaying League?” Meng Qi briefly asked.\n“The other members will believe your hatred for Wolf King, but they may not trust you because of your unidentified background unless you are willing to swear witnessed by the shaman and promise that you will not reveal the internal matters of the Wolf-slaying League and will not hurt other members.” Agula told him the demanding requirement.\nMeng Qi nodded gently and said, “Fine.”\n“How dare he agree on that requirement?”\nWuen was a little confused because he realized that it was not easy to take the vow witnessed by the shaman!\nAgula smiled and sent a guard to invite a familiar, ordinary shaman as if he didn’t fear that the shaman would know Wolf-slaying League.\nThe shaman wore a navy blue robe with many floral patterns on it. He was a skinny man with a pair of sharp eyes.\nAs all of the people believed in Eternal Sky and numerous totems, the shamans were the spokesmen of the God. Even every tribe leader had to respect them except for the descendants of the Gold Family.\nThe shaman moved his lips with a totem of the Hirasu tribe in his hand. After a while of mutter, he asked Meng Qi to vow, his eyes turning a deep green.\nHe used the secret karma art getting for Sikong Tu from the beginning just in case he would be deceived by them!"

他是兄弟姐妹当中出身最卑微也最不可能继承和分割部族的一个，仗着这点，反倒与大部分人关系融洽，加上好歹有黄金家族的血脉，普通草原人自然会高看他一眼，于是地位不高不低，过得算是不错。 “阿古拉本身武道天赋一般，但生了个好儿子，唤做阿尔斯楞，很有希望让他父凭子贵，于是他花费巨额家财，让阿尔斯楞拜强横武者为师，二十出头便已打开七窍，内天地初成，连大日王都关切了一声，谁知被狼王盯上，就在葛根高勒自家帐篷内被一爪捏破了喉咙。”
乌恩带着孟奇穿过一个又一个的帐篷，并随口给他介绍着情况，“因为本身地位不够，以及阿尔斯楞引起了叔伯兄弟记恨的关系，海拉苏部族的外景虽然嘴上说报仇，但实际上只是敷衍对待，这让阿古拉寒了心，偷偷入了杀狼会。”
因为阿古拉有些见不得光的南货和皮毛生意要经过老乌恩，被他偶然之下发现了这件事情。
“狼王选择的猎杀对象其实很讲究啊……孟奇反倒注意了这点。
狼王从未杀过长生教的嫡系萨满和金帐子孙，甚至与宗师有关的人也没杀过，看看阿尔斯楞，虽然海拉苏部族有位绝顶高手，但他是别人眼红的对象，父亲又是不受重视的子孙。
乌恩不太在意笑道：“若没有这种自觉，狼王早就成为牲畜食物了。
狼王的消息很灵通啊……孟奇若有所思想着。
凑上前，笑眯眯对守卫的武士说了几句，塞给他一个银饼。
在乌恩做事的时候，孟奇也没闲着，状若随意地打量此处，它们与别的帐篷都隔着一定距离，四周有武士守卫。 暗处则有暗桩。
马匹牛羊等没有半点杂乱，安排得井井有条，来往的仆从和奴隶亦秩序井然。
“阿古拉不可小视，也算是个人才……”孟奇没有因为阿古拉武道资质不行而升起轻视之心，反倒从细节处觉得阿古拉统御能力极高。
少顷，侍卫出来，让乌恩和孟奇入内。
掀开帐篷后，孟奇脑海中自然而然呈现出里面的状况。 该有侍卫的地方绝对有人站着藏着。
地上铺着厚厚的毛毯，踩在上面非常舒服。 阿古拉没有像普通草原人般盘腿而坐，而是布置了很有北周风格的红桌和凳子，桌上和帐篷四角摆放着铜炉，烧得通红，温暖着寒冬。
若没有四周的帐篷，孟奇还以为自身回到了北周，看来草原贵族喜南货非是虚言。
“乌恩，不是让你没事别来找我吗？” 阿古拉低沉的声音如从胸腹发出。
单从外貌看，他是个中年发福的普通草原人，但手上闪烁着莹莹光辉的碧玉指环和沉稳的双眼都昭示着他的身份。
除开别的侍卫，在阿古拉背后还立着一人，高大魁梧，头发稀疏，鼓胀的肌肉蕴满了力量，裸露在外的肌肤可以看到诸多乌青色萨满图案，不知是纹身，还是别有神异。
阿古拉脸色一沉，挥了挥手，让明处和暗处的侍卫统统离开帐篷，除了背后那名魁梧汉子，以及帐篷顶部可能躲着的那人。
“不管有什么秘密，都可以说了。” 阿古拉沉声道。
乌恩指着孟奇，直截了当道：“他与狼王有仇，想入杀狼会。”
“该死低贱的奴隶，竟敢泄露此事！” 阿古拉勃然大怒，拿起桌上的鞭子，作势欲抽。
外表平易沉稳的他发起怒来很有几分威慑力。 但这对乌恩没用，大家只是合作伙伴，他笑着退了一步：“哲别兄弟刀术高明，救了老头子的货物，有他加入，对付狼王不是更多一分力量？”
孟奇想不到好的草原名字，于是自称“哲别”，在乌恩提到自己后，目光冷峻地看向阿古拉，右手搭在了刀柄上，做出血溅五步的架势。
“哲别……”阿古拉眯了眯眼睛。
他背后的魁梧男子冷哼了一声：“刀术高明？ 哼，不知道多少刀术高明的人死在狼王手下。”
“你和狼王有什么仇恨？ 来自哪里？”
“而且我们杀狼会规矩严苛，若没有相应的实力或能力，肯定不允许加入，只能为我们提供消息。”
他对这突然冒出来的“哲别”充满戒备，也不看好他的实力！
“流浪刀客，没有亲朋好友死在狼王手上……”孟奇故意停顿了一下。
“那你和他有什么刻骨的仇恨？” 阿古拉有点惊讶了。
孟奇尽量的言简意赅，免得暴露草原话的破绽：“我被他袭击过。”
震惊的声音同时出于阿古拉和他背后魁梧男子之口。
就连乌恩都颇为愕然，因为首次听闻此事，这名青绶捕头竟然能在狼王偷袭下不死，难怪敢到草原追杀狼王！
半步以下，能在狼王偷袭下保命的绝对不多，整个草原都不超过十指之数，大部分还是因为附近有帮手，狼王一击不中，立刻远遁。
魁梧男子粗鲁道：“长生天在上。 撒谎者必死于狼口！
因为狼王没在这里，你就敢胡乱撒谎？” 他显然不信对面不够强壮不够有力的流浪刀客能在狼王手下逃生，光是吹牛，自己还能说杀得狼王屁滚尿流，反正狼王不可能出来澄清。
内心亦是相同看法。 对乌恩道：“哲别来历不明，与狼王的仇恨又无法查证，纵使我推荐，其他人恐怕也不会同意。” 他委婉的表示了拒绝。
孟奇踏前一步，平淡道：“你们谁见过狼王出手？”
场面顿时凝固少许，阿古拉沉默片刻才道：“阿尔斯楞遇害时，巴图就在他的帐篷内。” 高大魁梧的巴图忆起往事。 脸色竟然有点发白。
“那你试试。” 孟奇惜字如金，状极冷酷。
话音刚落，整个人帐篷突然一暗。 巴图发现面前的流浪刀客不见了。
旋即，他后颈处汗毛竖起。 像是有无形之刀贴在那里。
他猛地向前跨出，顺势回身，右臂荡起，肌肉鼓结，罡风四溢，打得空气发出闷响。
可也只能打中空气。
凉风吹拂，依旧是后颈，锋利的刀气仿佛还悬于那里。
这一次，巴图选择了身体前扑，蝎子摆尾，鞭腿抽得啪啪作响，但还是踢到了空处，似乎背后真的没有人，只有无形的恶鬼！
一次又一次，巴图怎么都无法摆脱恶鬼的纠缠，怎么都没办法从噩梦中解脱。
他的额头泌出了冷汗，拳脚越来越杂乱，皮肤上的乌青萨满图案使他充满精力，但找不到敌人又有什么用？
突然，他看到了阿古拉的脸，那是一张充满了震惊的脸，他的瞳孔里映照着自己的身影，背后还是空无一人！
“是，是狼王！” 巴图终于憋出了这几个字。
阿古拉看到的却截然不同，“哲别”一直慢悠悠在巴图背后散步，往前时跟着往前，转身时跟着转身，依旧位于背后，巴图向后踢腿时，则随意侧走一步，而巴图看向自己的瞳孔时，又忽地对准中央，借助巴图高大魁梧的身材将自身藏得严严实实。
整个过程，像是在与小朋友玩捉迷藏的游戏，但满脸是汗，状极恐惧的巴图则使得这一切诡异无比，让人震惊。
阿古拉吸了口气：“哲别兄弟，我信你与狼王交过手。”
否则没办法让巴图误认为是狼王，而对于这种层次的高手，称呼自然不同。 “那能入杀狼会吗？”
孟奇简短问道。
“与狼王的仇恨没问题，但哲别兄弟你来历不清，恐怕不被其他人相信，除非你愿意在萨满见证下发誓，不透露杀狼会内部之事，不危害其他成员。”
阿古拉提出了较为苛刻的要求。
孟奇轻轻点头：“好。”
竟然答应下来？ 乌恩有点不解，有萨满见证的誓言可不是好发的！
阿古拉露出了笑容，派侍卫请来了一位相熟的普通萨满，似乎不怕他知道杀狼会之事。
这名萨满穿着苍青色的长袍，上面有着诸多花纹图案，本人干瘦，眼高于顶。
在全民皆信仰长生天及诸多图腾的情况下，萨满就是神灵的代言人，除了黄金家族的子孙，即使各部族长也得对他们礼敬三分。
萨满手拿海拉苏部落的图腾，嘴唇翕动，念念有词一阵，双眼略有乌青呈现，然后让孟奇立誓。
他从开始就在默施得自司空图的因果秘术，以防有鬼！

Gegengol, ruled by a tribe known as the Hirasu tribe, had a tribal chief who claimed blood relationship with the Family of Gold and shared common ancestry with the Great Khan Gu Erduo of the Golden Tent. The chieftain held the title of the “Grand Sun King” because of this.
At present, the Grand Sun King has no lack of progenies, amongst them, Agula was barely noticeable amidst the myriads of contests for the King’s regard. His mother was a female slave who had been forced into coition during one of the King’s many drunken binges.
“Agula was hardly a gifted student in the arts of martial combat, but his son, called Aersilen was an outstanding talent. Agula had high expectations for his son’s prospects, retaining faith and optimism that his son’s future prominence might bring honor to his name. Agula expended extensive investments to equip his son with the most exceptional education in martial disciplines. At the ripe age of twenty, Aersilen had unsealed his Seventh Aperture and had freshly contrived his Inner World. Alas by cruel fate he was preyed upon by the skulking Wolf King. His throat torn asunder, and his life was forfeit in the hands of the Wolf King in a tent at Gegengol.”
One by one through different tents, Wuen led Meng Qi through the folds of the yurts as he continued, “Thus, in a dilemma Agula found himself to be. His lacking political standing and his kinsmen’s grudge towards Aersilen’s glimmering talent have placed him in a most delicate position. The great warriors of the Hirasu tribe had allegedly given their word to put an end to the savagery of the Wolf King. Sadly, those are but hollow words. They had not the true intent to truly seek out the Wolf King and eliminate him. Thus, driven by discontentment and disgust, he was compelled to join the Wolf-Slaying League.”
Sometimes, the old Wuen would help Agula sell some shady goods and fur from the south, and he had learned of Agula’s experience by accident.
“Wolf King was particular about the target for murder…” said Meng Qi who noticed this point.
Wolf King had never killed the lineal shaman of Changsheng Denomination, Gold Tent’s descendants and even people related to Great Master. But as for Aersilen, he lived with the envy of others, although the elder members of their family neglected his father. For this reason, he was killed by Wolf King even if there was a peerless master at the Hirasu tribe.
Wuen laughed and said, “The Wolf King would have reduced the food for livestock if he didn’t consider this. He could not hide for a long time if he were targeted by the powerful shaman or Gold Tent master even if he got the mystique and was very cautious.”
“Anyway, Wolf King was indeed well-informed since he could keep away from the people he couldn’t offend during his random murders…” Meng Qi thought.
Wuen stopped near several tents and went up to talk with the warrior who guarded the tents and gave him a silver cake.
While Wuen was talking with the warrior, Meng Qi looked that place over, pretending to look around carelessly. These tents were away from others in a certain distance, with warriors around to guard them. There were invisible columns in the dark place. There also seemed to be the secret guarders hiding at the interstice on the top of the tents.
The horses, flocks, and herds were orderly arranged, without any disorder at all. The footmen and slaves passing by were also in solemn order.
“Agula could not be belittled, and he was also a talented person…” Meng Qi didn’t look down on Agula due to his inferior Kung Fu body potentials. Instead, he found from the details that Agula had a great ability concerning leadership.
After a short while, the guard came out and let Wuen and Meng Qi enter the tent.
The condition inside the tent naturally rose in Meng Qi’s mind after the tent’s curtain opened. There must be people standing or hiding at the place where there were guards.
There was a thick blanket covered on the ground, which made people feel very comfortable as one stood on it. Agula didn’t sit cross-legged as the ordinary grassland people. Instead, he placed some red tables and stools with the North Zhou Dynasty style inside the tent. There were some copper furnaces placed on the desks and each corner of the tent. They were burnt red by the fire, warming the tent in the winter.
Meng Qi would feel that he came back to the North Zhou Dynasty had it not been for the cover cloth that surrounded the tent. It turned out that the grassland nobilities loved the goods from the south.
“Wuen, I have told you not to visit me if there was nothing important,” Agula said in a low voice as if he made sounds from his abdomen.
He looked like an overweight ordinary grassland resident in middle age, but the sparkling jade ring on his hand and his steady eyes implied his real identity.
Except for other guards, there was a tall and burly guard without much hair. He stood behind Agula. His bulging muscle was full of strength, and the exposed skin covered with many green shaman patterns which might be tattoos or something magic.
Agula pulled a long face and waved his hand to beckon the guards at the visible and invisible places to leave the tent. Only the strong man behind him stayed behind and perhaps the man hiding on the top of the tent remained there.
“You can tell me your secret now.” Agula said in a low voice.
Wuen pointed at Meng Qi and flatly spoke, “He had a grudge against Wolf King and wanted to join the Wolf-slaying League.”
“How dare those damn humble slaves to let the secret leak out?” Agula burst into anger and picked up the whip on the table as if he was going to lash someone.
But Wuen, as one of his partners, wasn’t frightened by his anger and took a step back with a smile. “Zhe Bie is skilled at sword technique and also has helped me save my goods. If he joins the Wolf-slaying League, he must devote himself to kill Wolf King. It’s good for you, right?”
Meng Qi could not think of other good names to use on the grassland, so he called himself “Zhe Bie.” After Wuen introduced him, he coldly looked at Agula, putting his right hand on the sword handle and seeming to be getting ready for killing people within five steps.
“Zhe Bie…” Agula squinted.
The tall and strong man behind him snorted and said, ” He is skilled at sword technique? Hum. There were many people skilled at saber play killed by Wolf King.”
“Why do you conceive a hatred for Wolf King? Where are you from?”
“Also, there are strict rules of our Wolf-slaying League. You must not be allowed to join in if you don’t have the corresponding strength or ability. You could only provide us with information in this case.”
He was vigilant against “Zhe Bie” who suddenly appeared and also did not show interest in his strength!
“I’m a wandering swordsman without any relatives or friends killed by Wolf King…” Meng Qi deliberately paused for a little while.
“Well, do you have any virulent hatred of him?” Agula got a little surprised.
Meng Qi tried to reply in a few words, avoiding exposing the flaw of his grassland language. “I was once attacked by him.”
“What?” Agula and the man behind him spoke at the same time with amazement.
Even Wuen was very astounded since he heard it for the first time. “This Green-ribbon Arrester had managed to escape from the sneak-attack by Wolf King. It is no wonder that he dares to come here to hunt down Wolf King!”
There were less ten people who could survive from Wolf King’s sneak-attack within half step. Most of them had helpers nearby, so they could get the chance to escape away while Wolf King failed to hit them.
The strong man said rudely, “In Eternal Sky’s name, the liar must die by Wolf King! How dare you tell a lie just because Wolf King isn’t here?”
He naturally doubted the wandering swordsman, who wasn’t strong and powerful enough, could escape from the Wolf King’s attack. When coming to boast, he could also claim that he had attacked Wolf King and hurt him badly. After all, it was impossible for Wolf King to come clean.
Agula frowned and had the same opinion with the strong man in his mind. He said to Wuen, “Zhe Bie is of dubious background, and his hatred of Wolf King isn’t verifiable. I’m afraid that others would not allow him to join the league even if I recommend him.”
Meng Qi took a step forward and asked calmly, “Who of you has seen Wolf King use his movement?”
Ba Tu, the tall and robust man, looked a little pale while he recalled the past events. It seemed that he often had nightmares because of that. In a weak voice which was not dominant anymore, he said, “I didn’t see him personally, but I could feel that he was like an evil ghost and a wild wolf which was extremely powerful…In Eternal Sky’s name…”
“You can have a try.” Meng Qi spoke simply with few words and looked incredibly cool.
With this, the whole tent became dark suddenly, and Ba Tu found the wandering swordsman in front of him disappeared.
But soon the fine hairs at his nape stood up as if there was an invisible knife attached there.
He then abruptly stepped forward and turned back, raising his right arm with the bulging muscle. He then hit in the air with a dull thud and produced a gust of fierce wind.
But he could just hit in the air.
While the fresh wind blew, he felt that the sharp saber Qi was still hanging at his nape.
This time, Ba Tu chose to lunge forward, with his feet off the ground. He then vigorously snapped his whip. But he had also just kicked in the air as if there was no one at his back, only the invisible evil ghost!
Ba Tu tried over and over but still could not get rid of being tangled by the evil ghost. He also failed to free himself from the nightmare.
The sweat started forth upon his forehead as the movements of his fist became messier. The green shaman pattern on his skin made him full of energy, but it was of no use since he could not find the enemy.
Suddenly, he saw Agula’s shocked face and also saw his own shadow reflecting in Agula’s pupils, but didn’t see anyone behind him!
“Yes, it is the movement of Wolf King!” Ba Tu finally spoke with these words.
However, what Agula had seen was different. “Zhe Bie” just slowly took a walk behind Ba Tu all the time. He followed Ba Tu to walk forward and turn back, but he stood behind Ba Tu from beginning to end. While Ba Tu kicked backward, he just took a step towards one side casually. When Ba Tu looked at Agula’s pupils, he aligned himself with Ba Tu and completely hid by means of Ba Tu’s tall and robust figure.
Meng Qi seemed to play hide-and-seek with a child in the whole process, Covered with sweat, Ba Tu, who was extremely scared, made the process so weird to astonish others present.
Agula took a breath and said to Meng Qi, “Zhe Bie, I believe you have fought with Wolf King.”
He thought that it was impossible to make Ba Tu mistake Zhe Bie for Wolf King if he didn’t fight with Wolf King. Agula also changed the way to call Meng Qi as he knew Meng Qi was a master reaching such a high level.
“Can I get the chance to join Wolf-slaying League?” Meng Qi briefly asked.
“The other members will believe your hatred for Wolf King, but they may not trust you because of your unidentified background unless you are willing to swear witnessed by the shaman and promise that you will not reveal the internal matters of the Wolf-slaying League and will not hurt other members.” Agula told him the demanding requirement.
Meng Qi nodded gently and said, “Fine.”
“How dare he agree on that requirement?”
Wuen was a little confused because he realized that it was not easy to take the vow witnessed by the shaman!
Agula smiled and sent a guard to invite a familiar, ordinary shaman as if he didn’t fear that the shaman would know Wolf-slaying League.
The shaman wore a navy blue robe with many floral patterns on it. He was a skinny man with a pair of sharp eyes.
As all of the people believed in Eternal Sky and numerous totems, the shamans were the spokesmen of the God. Even every tribe leader had to respect them except for the descendants of the Gold Family.
The shaman moved his lips with a totem of the Hirasu tribe in his hand. After a while of mutter, he asked Meng Qi to vow, his eyes turning a deep green.
He used the secret karma art getting for Sikong Tu from the beginning just in case he would be deceived by them!

"value": "Jade Spider Webs only spawned in the Elite level Instance Dungeon for the Spider Lair, and had an incredibly low drop rate.\nYet Azure Sea Breeze had suddenly taken out 4.\n“The Blood-red War Flag?” Lu Li realised what was going on.\n“That’s right, I sold the guide to them. We agreed that they would give all of the Jade Spider Webs to me, but I couldn’t sell the guide to anyone else.” Azure Sea Breeze said.\n“4 Jade Spider Webs… that’s amazing,” Lu Li sighed in awe, “The Grand Hegemony only obtained 1.”\nThe Blood-red War Flag was much more powerful than the Grand Hegemony, and they had probably invested at least 100 teams into clearing the Instance Dungeon. Assuming that they didn’t keep any for themselves, a 4/100 drop rate was simply astonishing.\n“How many do you still need?” Azure Sea Breeze didn’t ask Lu Li what he needed them for. He knew that to require so many of an incredibly rare item, Lu Li was definitely planning something big.\n“I still need 2 more,” Lu Li said as he patted Azure Sea Breeze’s shoulder, “Thanks bro!”\nHe would be a liar if he said that he wasn’t touched. No words could express the gratitude in his heart, so he could only say a simple “thanks”.\nAzure Sea Breeze was good friends with him in his ‘past life’ as well. Azure Sea Breeze’s character was bold and refreshing, and wasn’t the type to plot against others. Once he saw you as a friend, he would be completely loyal and devoted to you. Otherwise, Lu Li would have never known about the secret of the Supreme One Ring.\nLu Li couldn’t be as open as Azure Sea Breeze, but that didn’t mean he didn’t want a friend who would be open with him.\n“Alright, alright, just take it. I wasn’t this courteous when you gave me your equipment.” Azure Sea Breeze punched Lu Li, “If you’re grateful, then help me level up.”\n“You sure you want me to help you level up?” Lu Li didn’t think he was much stronger than Azure Sea Breeze, who was a Warrior. In Dawn, Warriors, Magicians and Hunters were the kings of levelling.\nAfter what happened in the Instance Dungeon, I’ve come to enjoy playing as the main tank. I’m going to lean more towards Constitution in the future, so I won’t be able to deal as much damage,” Azure Sea Breeze said.\n“Being a main tank is good; you’ll have lots of potential in the future. If you have good equipment, you’ll also be strong in PVP. In his ‘past life’, Azure Sea Breeze had also been a main tank, however, he had been dragged down by the Supreme One Ring and his attack was even weaker than Lu Li’s who was a Druid.\n“Levelling up is going to be a pain.” Azure Sea Breeze sighed.\n“The Public Instance Dungeons can be repeatedly cleared, and there’ll be more and more Instance Dungeons in the future. Just level up through doing Instance Dungeons and quests. If you can make a good team, it’ll be even more efficient than killing monsters,” Lu Li advised.\nThere were very few quests in Dawn, and relying on them wasn’t enough to get to high levels. As such, most players relied on killing monsters to level up. The monsters in Instance Dungeons were harder to kill than monsters outside, but they gave more EXP. If Azure Sea Breeze could form a team with high efficiency, just like Lu Li had said, he really would be able to get on the Player Level Rankings.\nThe two of them walked as they talked, and soon arrived at a LV8 Stone-skinned Boar Territory. There were two types of boars here- one was the Stone-skinned Boar, which had high Defence and average Attack, while the other type was called the Stone-toothed Boar, which had high Attack and average Defence. Both types had high HP, so players generally preferred not to train here.\nLu Li and Azure Sea Breeze both had quite a few pieces of Bronze grade equipment, so that bit of HP was nothing to them.\nThe most efficient way to train was to not share monsters with anyone else.\nAzure Sea Breeze usually spoke a lot, but was incredibly focused while training. He was like a silent monster-killing-robot.\nWhile killing monsters, Lu Li would also practice using his skills, slowly applying the things he had learnt in his ‘past life’ to his current playing style.\nContinuously testing and continuously improving.\nOn the forums, everyone revered Lu Li, saying that “he had opened a door for Thieves and melee professions.” However, most of the things he used were not his own - he had absorbed many skills and tricks from other Thieves that he had read about in his ‘past life’.\nIf one didn’t want to fall behind, they would have to continuously improve.\nIt was getting closer and closer to night in the game world, and Lu Li soon stopped, “Alright, let’s go.

交易框里，整整齐齐的码放着四个翡翠蛛丝！
蔚蓝海风居然一下子就拿出来四个。
“血色战旗？” 陆离也算是明白过来了。
“对啊，我把攻略给他们，他们把打到的所有翡翠蛛丝全部给我，条件是我的攻略只能卖给他们一家，”蔚蓝海风说。
“四个蛛丝啊，已经很不错了，”陆离感慨着说道：“宏图霸业才出了一个。”
血色战旗工会实力比宏图霸业高的不止一星半点，他们一次性最起码可以投入上百个小队，上百次副本才出四个蛛丝，如果他们没有私藏的话，这个概率也确实让人心凉。
蔚蓝海风没有问陆离的用途，他知道，在游戏前期能够一次性使用这么多的稀有材料，陆离所做的事情一定牵扯到一个惊人的秘密。
“差2个，”陆离拍了拍蔚蓝海风的肩膀：“兄弟，谢了！”
说不感动绝对是骗人的，千言万语，都不足以表达他现在的心情，最后只能化为一个简单的谢谢。
蔚蓝海风是前世就和他很能谈得来的朋友，这个人豪爽，没什么心机，一旦把你认作朋友，就会推心置腹，不然的话陆离也不会知道至尊戒指的秘密。
他做不到这么坦诚，但是这并不妨碍他希望有一个坦诚的朋友。
“行了，别婆婆妈妈的，拿你装备的时候我可没这么客气，”蔚蓝海风锤了陆离一下，“真要是觉得哥们帮了你什么忙，那就带我去升级吧。”
陆离可不觉得自己能比蔚蓝海风这个暴力战士强多少，《曙光》这个游戏里，狂暴战、法师、猎人这几个职业在升级方面一直得天独厚。
“下一趟副本，突然喜欢上了做MT的感觉，升级加点都偏体质，估计以后就没这么暴力了，”蔚蓝海风说。
“MT好啊，很有前途，装备好的话，PK也非常给力，”前世记忆中的蔚蓝海风就是主要修MT的，只不过他那时候的装备受戒指拖累，实在算不上好，攻击还没陆离可观。
“升级就麻烦了，”蔚蓝海风也犹豫了很久。
“公共副本的普通模式可以一直刷的，以后副本会越来越多，你就按照副本加任务的方式升级，有固定团队的话，比打怪还要效率。” 陆离建议。
曙光里的任务其实很少，远远不能满足升级的需要，所以玩家就需要大量的刷野怪来提升等级，副本里的怪虽然比野外怪更难打，但是经验也高，如果是一个效率非常高的团队，确实如陆离说的那样，登上等级榜也不是没有可能。 两人一边说一边走，练级地点选在8级石皮野猪的刷新点。
其实这里有两种野猪，一种叫石皮野猪，防御比较高，攻击一般；另一种叫石牙野猪，攻击比较高，防御一般，两种野猪的血量都很厚，所以练级的人大多不选择这种怪。
陆离和蔚蓝海风都是身上最少好几件青铜的强人，根本不在乎多的那点血量。
不用和别人抢怪，这就是最大的效率。
蔚蓝海风平时话挺多，但是练级的时候特别认真，沉默的像个刷怪机器。
陆离则不同，他在刷怪的同时，更多的是练习走位的技能，一点点的把前世看的视频和攻略运用到实践中。
不断地尝试，不断的改进。
论坛上那陆离捧得很高，说他“为盗贼，乃至近战职业打开了一扇门”，只有他自己知道自己有多少斤两。 那些所谓的教学动作，其实大部分都不是他自己的，而是吸收了前世众多知名盗贼的技巧。
想要不被淘汰，就只有努力的提升自己。
距离服务器黑夜时间越来越近，陆离打完手上的一只怪后停了下来，“走，趁天还没黑，带你去个地方。”
陆离打算去把湖底的宝箱开了。
游戏的进度看似很慢，但是他也不敢保证别人什么时候就会得到水下呼吸药剂之类的东西，大公会的力量根本不是一般散人玩家所能猜度的。
玩家目前等级普遍都到了四级左右，组队刷比自己高级的怪物最有效率，影月湖畔已经没有什么玩家了。
蔚蓝海风莫名其妙的被拉到湖边，根本不知道陆离想要干什么。
更让他摸不着头脑，甚至震惊的是，陆离让他等在这里，然后看了看周围，确定没什么人窥探之后，竟然噗通一声跳进了水里。
自杀？
没等他惊呼出声，就看到水面上泛起一朵水花，一只憨头憨脑小海豹冒出来，竟然还对他点了点头。
精灵战士已经呆滞了，两眼无神，世界观完全崩溃。
陆离笑笑，再次潜入水中，一直往深处游去。
没多久，他就找到了重新刷出来的宝箱。
青铜装备，青铜装备，一共两件，属性都比较一般。
宝箱这种东西，大多数情况下开的次数越多，出的东西就越差。
不过，眼下装备供不应求，任何装备都很好出手，价格也不会低的太离谱，能加一个优质属性点的青铜装备卖上五十银绝对没有问题，增加两个属性点的主流装备甚至可以卖一个金币。
普通玩家确实没有那么多钱，但是他们有队伍，一群人可以把钱凑在一起买装备，这次给MT或者主力输出卖，下次再依次给其他人买。
这就是散人玩家的生存之道。 到处都是水草，剩下两个宝箱藏得有点隐蔽，陆离在湖底绕了一圈都没发现，只能浮上去等技能冷却。
出去之后就看到蔚蓝海风紧张兮兮的盯着水面。
“你终于出来了，我还以为你淹死了呢！”
“在下面开了一个宝箱，应该还有两个，等下再下去，技能冷却呢，”陆离说。
“艹艹……兄弟你牛B啊，GM都不见得有你牛B啊，”蔚蓝海风连爆粗口，被震撼的无言以对，搞来四个翡翠蛛丝的优越感这一下荡然无存。
陆离这家伙居然逆天，他居然能变成一只海豹下水开宝箱。
眼下整个游戏恐怕都独此一份吧。
陆离汗，实在不好说什么，难道要说，这个其实是前世你玩剩下的，只不过你丫一个战士没法开宝箱而已。
最后只能将背包里的东西拿出来，“看看吧，有什么能用的，先拿去用！”
这逼装的，瞬间高大上。
蔚蓝海风差点膝盖一软跪倒地上叫大哥。

Jade Spider Webs only spawned in the Elite level Instance Dungeon for the Spider Lair, and had an incredibly low drop rate.
Yet Azure Sea Breeze had suddenly taken out 4.
“The Blood-red War Flag?” Lu Li realised what was going on.
“That’s right, I sold the guide to them. We agreed that they would give all of the Jade Spider Webs to me, but I couldn’t sell the guide to anyone else.” Azure Sea Breeze said.
“4 Jade Spider Webs… that’s amazing,” Lu Li sighed in awe, “The Grand Hegemony only obtained 1.”
The Blood-red War Flag was much more powerful than the Grand Hegemony, and they had probably invested at least 100 teams into clearing the Instance Dungeon. Assuming that they didn’t keep any for themselves, a 4/100 drop rate was simply astonishing.
“How many do you still need?” Azure Sea Breeze didn’t ask Lu Li what he needed them for. He knew that to require so many of an incredibly rare item, Lu Li was definitely planning something big.
“I still need 2 more,” Lu Li said as he patted Azure Sea Breeze’s shoulder, “Thanks bro!”
He would be a liar if he said that he wasn’t touched. No words could express the gratitude in his heart, so he could only say a simple “thanks”.
Azure Sea Breeze was good friends with him in his ‘past life’ as well. Azure Sea Breeze’s character was bold and refreshing, and wasn’t the type to plot against others. Once he saw you as a friend, he would be completely loyal and devoted to you. Otherwise, Lu Li would have never known about the secret of the Supreme One Ring.
Lu Li couldn’t be as open as Azure Sea Breeze, but that didn’t mean he didn’t want a friend who would be open with him.
“Alright, alright, just take it. I wasn’t this courteous when you gave me your equipment.” Azure Sea Breeze punched Lu Li, “If you’re grateful, then help me level up.”
“You sure you want me to help you level up?” Lu Li didn’t think he was much stronger than Azure Sea Breeze, who was a Warrior. In Dawn, Warriors, Magicians and Hunters were the kings of levelling.
After what happened in the Instance Dungeon, I’ve come to enjoy playing as the main tank. I’m going to lean more towards Constitution in the future, so I won’t be able to deal as much damage,” Azure Sea Breeze said.
“Being a main tank is good; you’ll have lots of potential in the future. If you have good equipment, you’ll also be strong in PVP. In his ‘past life’, Azure Sea Breeze had also been a main tank, however, he had been dragged down by the Supreme One Ring and his attack was even weaker than Lu Li’s who was a Druid.
“Levelling up is going to be a pain.” Azure Sea Breeze sighed.
“The Public Instance Dungeons can be repeatedly cleared, and there’ll be more and more Instance Dungeons in the future. Just level up through doing Instance Dungeons and quests. If you can make a good team, it’ll be even more efficient than killing monsters,” Lu Li advised.
There were very few quests in Dawn, and relying on them wasn’t enough to get to high levels. As such, most players relied on killing monsters to level up. The monsters in Instance Dungeons were harder to kill than monsters outside, but they gave more EXP. If Azure Sea Breeze could form a team with high efficiency, just like Lu Li had said, he really would be able to get on the Player Level Rankings.
The two of them walked as they talked, and soon arrived at a LV8 Stone-skinned Boar Territory. There were two types of boars here- one was the Stone-skinned Boar, which had high Defence and average Attack, while the other type was called the Stone-toothed Boar, which had high Attack and average Defence. Both types had high HP, so players generally preferred not to train here.
Lu Li and Azure Sea Breeze both had quite a few pieces of Bronze grade equipment, so that bit of HP was nothing to them.
The most efficient way to train was to not share monsters with anyone else.
Azure Sea Breeze usually spoke a lot, but was incredibly focused while training. He was like a silent monster-killing-robot.
While killing monsters, Lu Li would also practice using his skills, slowly applying the things he had learnt in his ‘past life’ to his current playing style.
Continuously testing and continuously improving.
On the forums, everyone revered Lu Li, saying that “he had opened a door for Thieves and melee professions.” However, most of the things he used were not his own - he had absorbed many skills and tricks from other Thieves that he had read about in his ‘past life’.
If one didn’t want to fall behind, they would have to continuously improve.
It was getting closer and closer to night in the game world, and Lu Li soon stopped, “Alright, let’s go. I want to take you somewhere before it’s night.”
Lu Li wanted to go and open the treasure boxes at the bottom of the lake.
The game was progressing quite slowly, but he didn’t know when other players would start to obtain items that could allow them to breathe underwater. The power of a large union was not something a solo player could compete with.
Most players had reached LV4 by now. It was much more efficient to form a team and hunt high levelled monsters, so there were barely any players at the Moon Reflection Lake by now.
Azure Sea Breeze was completely in the dark as to why Lu Li had wanted to come here.
What made him even more curious was that Lu Li told him to stand on the shore, then looked around and jumped into the water.
Suicide?
Before Azure Sea Breeze could yell out, he saw a seal break out of the water and nod towards him.
The Elf Warrior was completely shocked and his eyes widened as his world collapsed.
Lu Li grinned, then dived into the water.
Not long after, he found one of the respawned treasure boxes.
There were 2 pieces of Bronze grade equipment, both of which had average stats.
With treasure boxes, the more there were together, the worse the items inside would be.
However, during the early stages of the game, any equipment was good equipment. A Bronze grade piece of equipment that had a decent bonus stat would definitely sell for at least 50 silver coins. Equipment that weren’t gender or class specific and had 2 good bonus stats could sell for at least 1 gold coin.
Normal players couldn’t afford that sort of equipment, but a team definitely could. A group of people could pool together their money to buy good equipment for their main tank or main attacker, and upon earning more money, they could buy the rest of their team equipment.
There were water plants everywhere, and it was difficult to find the other 2 treasure boxes. Lu Li looked around the bottom of the lake, but couldn’t find any, so he could only go back to the surface and wait for the skill to refresh again.
Upon reaching the surface, he saw Azure Sea Breeze anxiously looking down.
“You finally came out. I thought you drowned!”
“I opened a treasure box down there, but there should be 2 more. I’m going to go down again after my skill refreshes.” Lu Li replied.
“Goddamn, you’re frickin’ overpowered. Even GMs might not be as overpowered as you.” Azure Sea Breeze could not help it, as the crude words rolled out of his mouth in shock. Even receiving 4 Jade Spider Webs hadn’t made him this shocked.
This guy Lu Li was simply incredible. He had turned into a seal and dived down to open treasure boxes.
Perhaps he was the only person in the game to do this.
Lu Li was speechless. He didn’t really know what to say. Inwardly, he was muttering, “It’s because of the item you got in my ‘past life’, but as a Warrior, you wouldn’t have been able to open the treasure boxes anyways.”
Lu Li could only take out a few pieces of equipment saying, “Have a look, and take what you need!”
What magnanimity!
Azure Sea Breeze nearly got down on his knees and called Lu Li ‘big bro’.

"value": "Chapter 91: Repeated Party Wipes Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations\n“I’ve got it,” said Azure Sea Breeze, as he waved his sword and rushed towards the Boss.\n“Hey…” Lu Li didn’t have time to stop him and could only watch as the heavily armored Main Tank rushed past him. He was then kicked away by the mechanical monster like a ball. It was really rather pathetic.\n“What a strong Boss.” Azure Sea Breeze was visibly shaken and afraid of going in again.\n“Go again. Are you going to wait for its cooldowns to refresh?”\nAzure Sea Breeze flicked his middle finger at Lu Li and charged at the Boss once again.\nLu Li didn’t bother going into Stealth because the mechanical monster was immune to stuns. Without killing it first, players had no hope of fighting the Boss.\nThe mechanical monster and the Boss worked as a unit. They could both deal damage to the players while Helix constantly laid down mines. They were about the size of a palm and would spin when they were thrown onto the ground, before slowly drilling their way underground. When a player stood on the ground above one of them, it would explode.\nAlthough the mechanical monster was strong enough to knock back Azure Sea Breeze, it mostly only dealt single digit damage.\nBoom!\nLonesome Flower felt something heat up under his foot before he was sent flying.\n-425!\nHalf of his HP was suddenly depleted.\nAfter landing, he staggered backwards for a few steps.\nBoom!\nPerhaps he was simply unlucky, but as he stepped backwards he triggered another mine. This time March Rain was also knocked up with him.\nThe two of them flew up and then hit the ground.\nLonesome Flower glowed white. He was unexpectedly killed very quickly.\nThis was the Boss’ most headache-inducing aspect – the area of effect explosion that could affect teammates within four yards.\nIf a player was hit by a mine and triggered another one within 30 seconds, the damage they took would be doubled.\n“Look at you, cowering like mice.” The goblin engineer happily ridiculed them atop of the mechanical monster.\nWhen March Rain landed, she quickly started to heal herself.\nThey had only just begun and had already lost a high DPS player. What a tragedy this was.\n“Continue fighting. We have to familiarize ourselves with the Boss. If you trigger a mine, immediately drink a potion. Do not try to save them.” Lu Li looked at his frightened teammates and spoke profoundly.\nThe others thought for a while and came to the same realization. They would probably be unable to defeat the Boss this time, but the least they could do was try and work out what kind of skills it had for the next fight.\nThe mechanical monster had high HP and they had only managed to deplete half of its HP bar after five minutes of fighting.\nLu Li suddenly felt a vibration under his foot and he quickly tried to escape. Unfortunately, the mine had already been triggered. He and Azure Sea Breeze were both caught in the explosion.\n“Take your potion!” Lu Li already had a potion in hand and quickly drank it as soon as he landed.\nAs the Main Tank was knocked up, the mechanical monster charged and knocked back the Healer. When March Rain hit the ground, she triggered another mine. Coincidentally, Azure Sea Breeze landed near her and both of them were sent flying. It was chaos!\nThe whole scene was out of control, as the Boss went after Remnant Dream directly. With every swing of its mechanical arm, Remnant Dream lost 300 HP. The little Hunter was scared and tried to escape, but in doing so, she triggered a mine and died before she could even take a potion.\nBy the time Azure Sea Breeze had regained the Boss’ aggro, the party only had three people left.\nWithout the two DPS professions, the mechanical monster was losing HP at an even slower rate.\nAfter struggling for some time, a mine was triggered again. This time, it was even worse. The Main Tank stepped on one mine after another until he died. There was absolutely no window for healing.\nWithout a Main Tank, the other two quickly turned and ran, but the room was closed and there was nowhere to go.\nAfter the group was revived, they all gloomily sat by the door to Helix’s room.\nThey had all felt very strong; their equipment was good and their level was high. They didn’t expect to be wiped before they had even killed the mechanical monster.\n“This is just how it is; we’ll get used to it eventually.” Azure Sea Breeze tried to cheer everyone up but his efforts were in vain.\n“The loss of EXP is heartbreaking.” Lonesome Flower put on a long face.\nThe fourth was for Instance Dungeon deaths: Your soul will appear in the cemetery outside the Instance Dungeon. Your soul can enter the Instance Dungeon to revive at the entrance of the Instance Dungeon. The player will lose 1% EXP, but these deaths are unlike the others. A player cannot drop a level in this way.\nOne percent didn’t sound like much, but one still had to kill many monsters to obtain this. The Boss was also extremely hard to defeat, so who knew how many times they were going to die?\nTheir second attempt was much smoother. Now that they had experience with the explosions, they could balance themselves if they were affected. Remnant Dream didn’t run away this time and they successfully killed the mechanical monster.\nAll that was left was Helix.\n“Well, you’ve succeeded in provoking Helix.” The goblin engineer angrily stood up from the wreckage of the mechanical monster.\nHelix still had a very disgusting skill - Mount.\nHe could jump onto a person’s head and block their vision. The victim was usually considered dead and attacked by their teammates.\nMoreover, the frequency of him burying the mines was higher too. Lu Li’s party was wiped again and again, for a third, fourth and fifth time… “Stop, this isn’t the way to go about it either,” Lu Li shouted at Azure Sea Breeze, who still wanted to continue.\nThe others were physically and mentally exhausted, so they didn’t object.\nIn reality, Lu Li already had a strategy; he just didn’t want to say it out loud.\nFighting Instance Dungeons required a great use of teamwork and various focused tactics. There was a strategy and skill to fighting every Boss.\nLu Li knew many strategies because of his rebirth, but they were still very limited. When he eventually ran out of strategies and they had to face an unfamiliar Instance Dungeon, what would they do?\nAs such, they had to get used to studying Instance Dungeons.\nThis Boss wasn’t very difficult. Some would even say that it was easy, so it provided a good test.\nHe logged back on after a meal and the five of them sat in front of the Helix room door discussing tactics.\n“Let’s stand apart from each other,” Remnant Dream said.\n“Yo, can you not think of something that a rookie would say?” Lonesome Flower mocked.\n“The biggest problem is when you get knocked back and you land on another mine. This Boss seems highly reliant on luck.” March Rain always worked really hard, but she could only helplessly watch as her teammates died.\n“Yeah, we can try standing in the corners. If all the ranged players stand in the corners, the wall will block them from triggering any others if they trigger one in the first place.” Azure Sea Breeze’s experience showed and he quickly found a way to deal with the explosions."

第091章
“我上了啊，”蔚蓝海风挥舞了一下单手剑，对着BOSS冲了过去。
“哎……”陆离都没来得及阻止，只能眼睁睁的看着一身重甲的MT冲过去，然后像皮球般的被机械怪物一脚踢了回来，真是惨不忍睹。
“好厉害的BOSS，”蔚蓝海风心有余悸，不敢上了。
“上啊，难道在等人家技能冷却结束吗？”
蔚蓝海风对着陆离比划了一个中指，再次轰隆隆的冲向了BOSS。
陆离也不潜行了，机械怪免疫晕眩，不把机械怪物杀死，玩家没有可能碰到BOSS的。
说是地雷，其实外型上就是一个陀螺，大约巴掌大小，丢到地上后会不断的旋转，然后没入地面，在地面下不断的移动，一旦玩家踏在上面，就会发生爆炸。
至于机械怪物，虽然一开始的时候就把蔚蓝海风踢飞，但伤害其实并不高，而且多数都是单体伤害。
“轰！”
花底离情只感觉到脚下一热，整个人都飞了起来。
－425！
血量一下子空了小半截。
落地之后一个踉跄，再次后退好几步。
“轰！”
可能是运气不太好，他后退的时候又踏到了地雷，这次不仅是他，连距离他很近的三月雨也飞了起来。
两个人飞起、落地。
花底离情化作一道白光，居然一下子就挂掉了。
这就是老二赫利克斯最让人头疼的地方，连环炸，还有四码之内的队友也会被一起炸飞。
如果三十秒内连续受到地雷伤害，第二次受到的伤害是第一次的两倍。
“看看你们，狼狈的像小老鼠，”地精工程师坐在机械怪物上，得意的嘲笑着。
三月雨落地后，连忙给自己加血。
刚开战就挂了一个强力输出，还真是悲剧。
“继续打，先熟悉一下这个BOSS，被炸飞的时候立刻喝药，别不舍得，”陆离扭头看了一下面色惊惶的队友，沉声说道。
其他人一想，是啊，即便这次不太可能击杀BOSS，但最起码也要见识一下BOSS接下来的技能吧。
机械怪物血多防高，打了五分钟才堪堪将它的血量打到一半。
这次轮到陆离了，他感觉脚下震动的时候，立刻斜冲了出去，可惜，地雷的启发装置已经运行，他和蔚蓝海风一起被炸了起来。
陆离早就摸出一瓶药剂，落地的时候直接灌了下去。
祸不单行，MT被炸飞的那一刻，机械怪物一个冲锋，将治疗牧师撞飞，还没等三月雨落地，残梦也触雷了，刚刚落到他身边的蔚蓝海风和她一起飞了起来。
场面完全失控，BOSS直接找上了残梦，机械手臂每一次都带走她超过三百的血量，小猎人吓得掉头就跑，跑动的过程中再次踏雷，连药剂都没来得及喝就挂掉了。
等到蔚蓝海风重新拉住BOSS，一队人就只剩下三个。
少了两个输出职业，机械怪物血量下的就更慢了。
好不容易又打掉一些，地雷再次被触发，这一次更惨，MT连续踩雷，直接被炸死，连加血都来不及。
没了MT，其他两个也很快步入后尘。 封闭房间里打怪，想跑都没地方跑。
重新跑尸体进本，几个人坐在赫利克斯的房间门口，神色都有点颓唐。
感觉自己已经很强力了，装备好，等级也高，谁知道连机械怪物都没打掉就被BOSS玩死了。
“开荒都这样，死死就习惯了，”蔚蓝海风很没营养的安慰大家。
“经验掉的心痛啊，”花底离情哭丧着脸。
第四种是副本死亡，灵魂出现在副本之外的墓地，跑进副本后复活在副本门口，掉落当前等级1%的经验，与其他死亡掉经验不同的是，当前等级经验掉光之后就不会再掉了。
百分之一的经验也要刷不少怪呢，而且BOSS这么厉害，谁知道要掉多少次。
第二次开怪进展的比较顺利，有了被炸飞的经历，落下来的时候都会尽可能的平衡自己，残梦这一次也没有乱跑，成功的把机械怪物杀死。
剩下赫利克斯。
“好吧，你们成功的激怒了赫利克斯，”地精工程师愤怒的从机械怪物的残骸上站起来。
这个阶段的赫利克斯还有一个非常恶心的技能——上身。
而且他埋雷的频率更高，陆离小队果断再次团灭。
“停，这样下去也不是办法，”陆离喊住还要继续的蔚蓝海风道：“时间也差不多了，大家下线吃东西休息一下，顺便也想想这个BOSS该怎么对付。”
其他人身心俱疲，自然也不会反对。
其实，并不是没有攻略，陆离只是不想直接说出来罢了。
玩游戏打副本靠的是团队协作，此外也需要针对性的做出各种对策，任何一种BOSS都有攻略，都有技巧。
陆离因为重生的原因，知道了不少的攻略，但这些攻略也是有限的，等哪天攻略用完了，碰到他不知道攻略的副本，又该怎么办呢？
所以，他必须让大家习惯去研究副本。
这个BOSS其实并不难，甚至可以说很简单，正好做个试验。
吃完饭再次上线，五个人坐在赫利克斯的房间门口商量对策。
“我们分开站，不要站一块，”残梦说。
“哟，想不到小菜鸟也能说到点子上去，”花底离情调侃。
“主要还是炸飞比较讨厌，尤其是连续炸飞，打这个BOSS很考验运气，”三月雨每次都很尽力，却只能眼睁睁的看着队友挂掉。
“对了，我们可以试着站墙角，三个远程都站在墙角的位置，炸飞的话会有墙顶着，至少不会触发其他位置的地雷，”还是蔚蓝海风比较老到，很快就想到对付炸飞的办法。

Chapter 91: Repeated Party Wipes Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
“I’ve got it,” said Azure Sea Breeze, as he waved his sword and rushed towards the Boss.
“Hey…” Lu Li didn’t have time to stop him and could only watch as the heavily armored Main Tank rushed past him. He was then kicked away by the mechanical monster like a ball. It was really rather pathetic.
“What a strong Boss.” Azure Sea Breeze was visibly shaken and afraid of going in again.
“Go again. Are you going to wait for its cooldowns to refresh?”
Azure Sea Breeze flicked his middle finger at Lu Li and charged at the Boss once again.
Lu Li didn’t bother going into Stealth because the mechanical monster was immune to stuns. Without killing it first, players had no hope of fighting the Boss.
The mechanical monster and the Boss worked as a unit. They could both deal damage to the players while Helix constantly laid down mines. They were about the size of a palm and would spin when they were thrown onto the ground, before slowly drilling their way underground. When a player stood on the ground above one of them, it would explode.
Although the mechanical monster was strong enough to knock back Azure Sea Breeze, it mostly only dealt single digit damage.
Boom!
Lonesome Flower felt something heat up under his foot before he was sent flying.
-425!
Half of his HP was suddenly depleted.
After landing, he staggered backwards for a few steps.
Boom!
Perhaps he was simply unlucky, but as he stepped backwards he triggered another mine. This time March Rain was also knocked up with him.
The two of them flew up and then hit the ground.
Lonesome Flower glowed white. He was unexpectedly killed very quickly.
This was the Boss’ most headache-inducing aspect – the area of effect explosion that could affect teammates within four yards.
If a player was hit by a mine and triggered another one within 30 seconds, the damage they took would be doubled.
“Look at you, cowering like mice.” The goblin engineer happily ridiculed them atop of the mechanical monster.
When March Rain landed, she quickly started to heal herself.
They had only just begun and had already lost a high DPS player. What a tragedy this was.
“Continue fighting. We have to familiarize ourselves with the Boss. If you trigger a mine, immediately drink a potion. Do not try to save them.” Lu Li looked at his frightened teammates and spoke profoundly.
The others thought for a while and came to the same realization. They would probably be unable to defeat the Boss this time, but the least they could do was try and work out what kind of skills it had for the next fight.
The mechanical monster had high HP and they had only managed to deplete half of its HP bar after five minutes of fighting.
Lu Li suddenly felt a vibration under his foot and he quickly tried to escape. Unfortunately, the mine had already been triggered. He and Azure Sea Breeze were both caught in the explosion.
“Take your potion!” Lu Li already had a potion in hand and quickly drank it as soon as he landed.
As the Main Tank was knocked up, the mechanical monster charged and knocked back the Healer. When March Rain hit the ground, she triggered another mine. Coincidentally, Azure Sea Breeze landed near her and both of them were sent flying. It was chaos!
The whole scene was out of control, as the Boss went after Remnant Dream directly. With every swing of its mechanical arm, Remnant Dream lost 300 HP. The little Hunter was scared and tried to escape, but in doing so, she triggered a mine and died before she could even take a potion.
By the time Azure Sea Breeze had regained the Boss’ aggro, the party only had three people left.
Without the two DPS professions, the mechanical monster was losing HP at an even slower rate.
After struggling for some time, a mine was triggered again. This time, it was even worse. The Main Tank stepped on one mine after another until he died. There was absolutely no window for healing.
Without a Main Tank, the other two quickly turned and ran, but the room was closed and there was nowhere to go.
After the group was revived, they all gloomily sat by the door to Helix’s room.
They had all felt very strong; their equipment was good and their level was high. They didn’t expect to be wiped before they had even killed the mechanical monster.
“This is just how it is; we’ll get used to it eventually.” Azure Sea Breeze tried to cheer everyone up but his efforts were in vain.
“The loss of EXP is heartbreaking.” Lonesome Flower put on a long face.
The fourth was for Instance Dungeon deaths: Your soul will appear in the cemetery outside the Instance Dungeon. Your soul can enter the Instance Dungeon to revive at the entrance of the Instance Dungeon. The player will lose 1% EXP, but these deaths are unlike the others. A player cannot drop a level in this way.
One percent didn’t sound like much, but one still had to kill many monsters to obtain this. The Boss was also extremely hard to defeat, so who knew how many times they were going to die?
Their second attempt was much smoother. Now that they had experience with the explosions, they could balance themselves if they were affected. Remnant Dream didn’t run away this time and they successfully killed the mechanical monster.
All that was left was Helix.
“Well, you’ve succeeded in provoking Helix.” The goblin engineer angrily stood up from the wreckage of the mechanical monster.
Helix still had a very disgusting skill - Mount.
He could jump onto a person’s head and block their vision. The victim was usually considered dead and attacked by their teammates.
Moreover, the frequency of him burying the mines was higher too. Lu Li’s party was wiped again and again, for a third, fourth and fifth time… “Stop, this isn’t the way to go about it either,” Lu Li shouted at Azure Sea Breeze, who still wanted to continue.
The others were physically and mentally exhausted, so they didn’t object.
In reality, Lu Li already had a strategy; he just didn’t want to say it out loud.
Fighting Instance Dungeons required a great use of teamwork and various focused tactics. There was a strategy and skill to fighting every Boss.
Lu Li knew many strategies because of his rebirth, but they were still very limited. When he eventually ran out of strategies and they had to face an unfamiliar Instance Dungeon, what would they do?
As such, they had to get used to studying Instance Dungeons.
This Boss wasn’t very difficult. Some would even say that it was easy, so it provided a good test.
He logged back on after a meal and the five of them sat in front of the Helix room door discussing tactics.
“Let’s stand apart from each other,” Remnant Dream said.
“Yo, can you not think of something that a rookie would say?” Lonesome Flower mocked.
“The biggest problem is when you get knocked back and you land on another mine. This Boss seems highly reliant on luck.” March Rain always worked really hard, but she could only helplessly watch as her teammates died.
“Yeah, we can try standing in the corners. If all the ranged players stand in the corners, the wall will block them from triggering any others if they trigger one in the first place.” Azure Sea Breeze’s experience showed and he quickly found a way to deal with the explosions.

Nearly all of their troops were destroyed. This brother was lucky enough to have escaped! He wouldn’t even have time to put on his battle suit!”\n“Oh, I didn’t know that.” The man-mountain shook his head and smiled warmly.\n“Then how did you get here? Your camp is a few hundred kilometers away!” The girl blinked.\n“How did I get here?” Er…” How could Chen Xiaobei have known? This was his first time here.\n“Liu Chen, have you also lost your mind?” The patinated bronze combat uniform young man said, “The 3rd Regiment is a new regiment. They are all fresh-faced recruits who probably can’t differentiate north from east here in Silver Plume Forest. This brother here must have run blindly through the forest and got here!”\n“Yes. I didn’t know which direction I was running toward and ended up here…”\nChen Xiaobei nodded his head again and took the opportunity to secretly study the young man in the patinated bronze combat uniform.\nThis young man kept speaking for Chen Xiaobei, insisting that he was the new recruit from 3rd Regiment as if he was a spy that Chen Xiaobei had planted.\nBut of course, Chen Xiaobei knew that this was just a coincidence.\n“Alright, then we’ll take it that you came here blindly.” The girl blinked and then asked again, “So, what rank are you?”\n“To tell you the truth, I’m new here. I’m still very confused with the ranking…” Now that Chen Xiaobei had the cover of a new recruit, he just ran with it.\n“Sigh… That’s sad… You just came and the 3rd Regiment goes up in smoke…” The guy in patinated bronze uniform said, “Never mind, let me give you a quick lesson! Here on Silver Plume Planet, every Northern Wilderness Soldier has their own rank! All those titles like corporal, commanding officer, and others are too difficult to remember.”\n“Let me teach you a simpler way to differentiate. Look at the material of the uniform of those two. Their paddings are metal and black. So, they are called Black Steel Newbies!” The young man with the patinated bronze padding said.\nThe man-mountain was not exactly happy to hear this.\n“Boss… Black Steel is Black Steel. Must you add the word newbie?”\n“Hey, it’s better than calling you Black Steel Clown!”\n“You are the clown!”\nThe girl pulled a face. “Urgh…” The young man in the patinated uniform did not argue with her. Instead, he turned to Chen Xiaobei and asked, “Look at my combat uniform. Can you guess my rank?”\nChen Xiaobei scratched his head and said, “Stubborn Patinated Bronze?”\n“Sigh… you are the one who’s stubborn! It’s Patinated Bronze. Don’t go adding your own adjectives!”\n“Er… Then is the leader of this planet a king?” Chen Xiaobei asked."

第1142章
“啊！
！
！”
陈小北直接从那山洞上跳跃下去，数百米的落差，急坠直下，简直不能更刺激。
“噗！”
下方是湖泊，陈小北坠入水中，溅起十几米高的水花，但身体却毫发无伤。 上到岸边，周围的环境又一次发生翻天覆地的变化。
这是一座原始森林，但和地球上的原始森林有巨大差别。
花草树木都比地球上常见的大出许多倍，一般的青草能长到人的腰部，树木几乎都是几十上百米高，一片叶子有半个人那么大！
重点是，这里已经不像刚才的隐秘空间那样宁静祥和。
四周不时有猛兽嘶吼的声音传来，地面上也偶尔会有巨大的脚印出现，关键是，空气里弥散这淡淡血腥味。
可以想见，这是一座真正意义上的，奉行弱肉强食丛林法则的，危机四伏鲜血淋漓的原始森林！
“小二同志，快点说吧，三星灵药在什么地方！” 陈小北迫不及待的问道。
“那个就在前面啊，我能闻到气味，特别香！”
“好你个小没良心！ 我就知道你不讲义气，自己吃完独食，然后随便找个理由忽悠我！”
陈小北愤愤道。
陈小北神色稍稍一怔，想笑，却憋住了，绷着脸道：“好，我就最后给你一次机会！”
于是，一人一虫，就开始向前走去，途中小二会指出方向，不断向林中深入。
“北哥！ 前面有人！”
“我知道，一共有五个人！”
自从突破天象境界之后，陈小北的感官能力大大提升，听声辨位那都算简单的，方圆三十米内，他甚至能够感知到人的气息！
“我正愁着要如何探索这个世界呢，有人做向导，那就事半功倍了！” 陈小北低声说道。
“可咱们不知道对方是敌是友啊！”
小二警惕道。 “是友，那就皆大欢喜，是敌，大不了我就多收一条狗咯！”
“那边有人！”
与此同时，那五个人也发现了陈小北的踪迹，快步朝这边跑来。
为首的一个，中等身材，长得还有点小帅，身穿一套科技感十足的战斗服，身体的要害，以及关节位置，都有青铜部件加固，减少受伤几率。
身后还有两个人。
一个身材魁梧，身高超过两米五，绝逼不是地球人！
另一个身材娇小，是个二十来岁的少女，五官端庄清秀，皮肤细腻光滑。
颜值虽然比不上陈小北的红颜知己们，但在大多数人眼里，她也算得上一个娇滴滴的小美人。 重点是，她有着一双橘色的眼睛，铁定不是地球人。
这两个人也穿了战斗服，不过要害和关节的位置，是用黑铁部件加固。
护卫部件的材质不同，似乎也体现了他们的级别诧异。 “哥们！
你是哪个纵队的人？” 身穿青铜战斗服的青年开口说道。
“嗯？”
陈小北神色一愣，原本还有点担心语言不通，谁料，对方一开口竟然说的是华夏普通话！
回想起来，在亚特兰蒂斯时，不同肤色的人，似乎也都在说华夏语！ 这倒是奇怪了，之后一定要问一问。
“怎么不说话呢？”
身穿青铜战斗服的青年似乎有些急性子，眉梢一挑，道：“你不说我也知道，你肯定是第三纵队的人！”
“哦……是……”陈小北点了点头。 虽然不知道怎么回事儿，但先和对方站在同一阵线，要打听什么也就方便了。
“你的战斗服呢？” 魁梧的巨汉瓮声问道。
“啊？”
陈小北又是一愣。
“你傻啊！” 身穿青铜战斗服的青年斜了巨汉一眼，说道：“第三纵队是在假期时遭遇敌袭，几乎全军覆没！ 这哥们能逃出来已经是万幸，战斗服肯定来不及穿啊！”
“哦，原来如此！” 巨汉挠了挠头，憨厚的笑了。
“那你是怎么跑到这里来的？ 第三纵队的营地，离这里有几百公里远呢！”
“怎么跑到这里？
“橙儿，怎么你也傻了？” 身穿青铜战斗服的青年说道：“第三纵队是新兵纵队，都是些刚来不久的新兵蛋子，这哥们肯定连‘银羽森林’的东南西北都分不清，瞎跑过来的呗！”
“对，我是一路瞎跑，也不知怎么就到了这……”陈小北连忙点头。
说完，陈小北忍不住多看了那身穿青铜战斗服的青年两眼。
这青年简直像极了陈小北事先安排的卧底！ 处处帮陈小北说话！
当然，陈小北清楚，这青年不是卧底，可能只是机缘巧合吧。
“好吧，就算你是瞎跑过来的。” 少女眨了眨眼，又问：“你在第三军营是什么级别？”
“说实话，我刚来不久，怎么分级我都不清楚……”陈小北现在有了新兵的身份，干脆一不做二不休，装成一个彻彻底底的小萌新。
在银羽星球，每个北荒战士都有自己的级别！” “官方定的是，什么下士，士官长……这些都太难记了！”
“我教你个最简单的方法，看战斗服的材料，像他们两，防御部件是黑色合金铁打造，就称为菜鸟黑铁！”
“我没说逗比黑铁就已经很给你面子了！”
身穿青铜战斗服的青年说道。
“你才逗比！”
少女娇嗔道。
身穿青铜战斗服的青年没与少女争辩，转向陈小北，问道：“你看我的战斗服，我的级别，你应该能猜到了吧？”
陈小北神色稍稍一怔，道：“倔犟青铜？”
青年差点一头栽地上去：“就是青铜级，别给我乱加形容词！”
“呃……那这座星球的老大，是不是最强王者啊？”

EndlessFantasy Translation “Ahhhhhh!”
Chen Xiaobei jumped down the cave and into the waterfall. The 100 meters drop sent a rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins.
Splash!
He plunged into the water but was unharmed. When he popped his head out of the water, he saw that his environment was once again a whole new level of bizarre.
It was a primeval forest but one very different from the ones on earth.
The plants were humongous! The grass was waist high, the trees were at least a few hundred meters tall, and the leaves were nearly half the size of a human!
It was not quiet and peaceful as the secret space.
Every now and then, there would animal noises like the sound of beasts roaring and giant footprints would appear in the ground. The thing that was most unnerving was the stale metallic smell of blood in the air.
This prehistoric forest, surrounded by danger and drenched in blood, was created with the principle of survival of the fittest in mind.
“Xiao’er, hurry up and tell me where the three-star Spiritual Medicine is!” Chen Xiaobei said with an undeniable urgency in his voice.
“It’s in front! I can smell it! Ooh, it smells really good!”
“You really are terrible! I knew it! You’re so selfish! You ate it all yourself then simply made up an excuse to try to trick me!”
Chen Xiaobei wanted to smile but he maintained his frown.
“Alright, I’ll give you one last chance!”
So, they went ahead, based on Xiao’er directions, and ventured deeper into the forest.
“Bro Bei! There’s someone in front!” Xiaobei suddenly said.
“I know! There are five of them!”
Since he broke through Celestial Cultivation, Chen Xiaobei’s sensory abilities have greatly improved. It was easy for him to be able to tell something’s position just by sound alone. He could also detect a person’s breath within thirty meters.
“I was just wondering how we were going to explore this world. With people to help guide us, our work would be halved!” Chen Xiaobei whispered.
“But we don’t know if they are friends or foe!”
“If they are friends, then we can celebrate but if they foes, I would just gain one or two more dogs!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
“There’s someone there!”
The five men were also aware of Chen Xiaobei’s presence and hurried over. They were five very dissimilar young people.
The first one was dress in a technological combat uniform, average built and not-bad looking. The outfit he wore was equipped with bronze pads with a greenish layer at the joint areas to prevent injuries.
There were two more directly behind him.
One was a burly, two-and-a-half-meter-tall man who was definitely not from Earth!
The other was a petite girl in her twenties with delicate features and velvety skin.
Though she was not as pretty as Chen Xiaobei’s girlfriends, in the eyes of most people, she was considered a sweet beauty. Her eyes were what stood out the most, they were orange in color, indicating that she, too, was not from Earth.
These two were also in combat uniforms but the paddings at their joints were made of Black Steel.
The distinction of color and material must be an indication of rank.
“Brother! Which regiment are you from?” The young man with the patinated bronze padding was the first to speak.
“Huh?”
Chen Xiaobei was taken aback for a minute. He was worried about how he was supposed to converse with them if they spoke a different language. But, lo and behold, they actually spoke Mandarin!
When he thought back to Atlantis, he realized that even though they were all of different skin color, they all spoke Mandarin!
That was really strange. He must ask about this later on.
“Why aren’t you talking?” The young man was impatient. “Even if you don’t have to tell me, I know you must be from the 3rd Regiment!”
“Er… Yes…” Chen Xiaobei nodded even though he did not know what the young man was talking about. But if they were on the same side, it would easier for him to pick up information.
“Where’s your combat uniform?” The burly man-mountain asked.
“Huh?”
Chen Xiaobei did not know how to answer him.
“Are you seriously asking that question?” The patinated bronze combat uniform guy shot the man-mountain a look and said, “The 3rd Regiment was attacked by the enemy during the holidays. Nearly all of their troops were destroyed. This brother was lucky enough to have escaped! He wouldn’t even have time to put on his battle suit!”
“Oh, I didn’t know that.” The man-mountain shook his head and smiled warmly.
“Then how did you get here? Your camp is a few hundred kilometers away!” The girl blinked.
“How did I get here?” Er…” How could Chen Xiaobei have known? This was his first time here.
“Liu Chen, have you also lost your mind?” The patinated bronze combat uniform young man said, “The 3rd Regiment is a new regiment. They are all fresh-faced recruits who probably can’t differentiate north from east here in Silver Plume Forest. This brother here must have run blindly through the forest and got here!”
“Yes. I didn’t know which direction I was running toward and ended up here…”
Chen Xiaobei nodded his head again and took the opportunity to secretly study the young man in the patinated bronze combat uniform.
This young man kept speaking for Chen Xiaobei, insisting that he was the new recruit from 3rd Regiment as if he was a spy that Chen Xiaobei had planted.
But of course, Chen Xiaobei knew that this was just a coincidence.
“Alright, then we’ll take it that you came here blindly.” The girl blinked and then asked again, “So, what rank are you?”
“To tell you the truth, I’m new here. I’m still very confused with the ranking…” Now that Chen Xiaobei had the cover of a new recruit, he just ran with it.
“Sigh… That’s sad… You just came and the 3rd Regiment goes up in smoke…” The guy in patinated bronze uniform said, “Never mind, let me give you a quick lesson! Here on Silver Plume Planet, every Northern Wilderness Soldier has their own rank! All those titles like corporal, commanding officer, and others are too difficult to remember.”
“Let me teach you a simpler way to differentiate. Look at the material of the uniform of those two. Their paddings are metal and black. So, they are called Black Steel Newbies!” The young man with the patinated bronze padding said.
The man-mountain was not exactly happy to hear this.
“Boss… Black Steel is Black Steel. Must you add the word newbie?”
“Hey, it’s better than calling you Black Steel Clown!”
“You are the clown!”
The girl pulled a face. “Urgh…” The young man in the patinated uniform did not argue with her. Instead, he turned to Chen Xiaobei and asked, “Look at my combat uniform. Can you guess my rank?”
Chen Xiaobei scratched his head and said, “Stubborn Patinated Bronze?”
“Sigh… you are the one who’s stubborn! It’s Patinated Bronze. Don’t go adding your own adjectives!”
“Er… Then is the leader of this planet a king?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

Hurry and admire the moon with me.”\nXu Ruo Rou’s worried little heart calmed down. She ran out of the car and rushed into Qin Feng’s arms: “Qin Feng, I was scared to death. T-these are all bad people.”\nWhen he saw Xu Ruo Rou’s slightly red and swollen face and the five finger marks that hadn't completely faded, he did all he could to control his emotions. He didn't want to show a vicious expression in front of Xu Ruo Rou.\n“Does it hurt?” He lightly caressed Xu Ruo Rou’s injured face and asked.\nXu Ruo Rou gritted her teeth, shook her head, nursed her head, and looked at Qin Feng with determination: “Qin Feng, let's head back.”\nQin Feng touched Xu Ruo Rou’s soft hair: “Wait a bit longer, I have to make the person that bullied you regret they were ever born.”\nAs she lay in Qin Feng’s embrace, Xu Ruo Rou felt that the world quieted. She felt safety and peacefulness that she'd never experienced before. Suddenly, a ridiculous idea came to mind: if she became Qin Feng’s woman, she would definitely be really happy.\nQin Feng got to the mountaintop, gave Wei Xiao Lei a beating, idiotically reenacted Journey to the West, hugged Xu Ruo Rou, and sat for a while on the mountaintop admiring the moon when the sound of a car finally drifted over.\nThe first to arrive was a man with curly blonde hair who drove a flashy red Ferrari. After stopping the car, he hurriedly ran out. He saw Qin Feng and Xu Ruo Rou’s backs: “Where is Big Brother Wei?”\n“If you want viagra, you have to buy it at the drugstore. There clearly isn’t any here,” Qin Feng comforted Xu Ruo Rou by rubbing her thigh and said this to Williams at the same time.\n“Where’s Young Master Wei?” Williams fell quiet for a while and then asked in a different way.\nQin Feng casually pointed in a direction. Wei Xiao Lei was currently sitting and drawing circles. Williams hurriedly ran over. When he saw Wei Xiao Lei, he jumped in fright: “F*ck, is this a pig or a person? Have you seen Young Master Wei?”\nWei Xiao Lei almost sprayed fresh blood out of his mouth. He pointed at his own nose: “William, look clearly, I'm Wei Xiao Lei.”\nWilliams looked at Wei Xiao Lei again more closely, but he still couldn’t recognize him. However, he confirmed his identity through his voice and ran over. He did all he could to suppress his smile.\n“Young Master Wei, what time is it? You’re still in the mood to bring a pig’s head to scare people? ...then what about Qin Feng? I flew up the mountain wildly but I didn’t see him. Could he have ran off after riding half of the course?”\nWilliams spoke English, but this didn’t cause any difficulties for Qin Feng. From his youth, Qin Feng went to America every year for vacation. In order to pick up girls, he forced himself to practice until he could speak fluent English.\nWei Xiao Lei didn’t know what to say. He suddenly thought of how Williams was extraordinarily strong. Now that Qin Feng was sitting at the mountaintop, wouldn’t it be more straightforward if William threw Qin Feng into the ravine?\nOnce this idea came to mind, the discouraged Wei Xiao Lei suddenly stood. He was about to exchange gazes with Williams when the sound of a car rumbled from down the mountain.\nThen, a Porsche 911 arrived at the top, and a beautiful and elegant woman wearing a qipao leisurely stepped out of it.\n“Damn,” the curse resounded in Wei Xiao Lei’s heart, and all he could do was temporarily cancel his intentions of killing Qin Feng.\nOnce Su Qiu Yue got out of the car, she surveyed the area. She knew that Qin Feng had passed her on the course long ago. She didn’t find it strange when she saw Qin Feng sitting there, but when she saw Williams and the red Ferrari parked to the side, her beautiful face that was normally calm like water shifted slightly.\nShe thought her driving skills were out of the ordinary, and that she was even better than some professional racers. She didn’t think that this big and tall foreign-looking man would be faster than her. It appears that he’s also not an ordinary person.\nWilliams naturally wasn’t an ordinary person. His driving skills were not ordinary, his talent wasn’t ordinary, and his family background was even more unordinary.\nHe was a professional first place-winning race car driver in America. He only interacted with these amateurs because he was looking for excitement. He wasn’t on the same level as the rich young masters that did street races and picked up girls. Because his driving skills were so outstanding, Wei Xiao Lei specifically looked for Williams as a surefire way to take care of Qin Feng during the course of the race.\nNot long after Su Qiu Yue’s arrival, more luxury cars continued to stream in. Soon, the empty mountaintop became extremely crowded and bustling. When these people knew that they didn’t win first place and that they brushed shoulders with the Reventon and that beautiful pure girl, one by one, they hung their heads in disappointment.\nAt this time, Wei Xiao Lei and Williams sat in the Reventon. Wei Xiao Lei didn’t want these people to see what he currently looked like, so he held the loudspeaker and yelled from inside the car: “It seems that almost everyone has reached the mountaintop. The first place winner of this underground race has already appeared. According to the agreement, I will award both this Reventon and that little beauty to him… If there’s nothing else, we can adjourn this meeting.”\nTonight’s plans didn’t progress normally. Not only was Qin Feng still alive, Wei Xiao Lei was beaten into having a pig’s head. How could he be satisfied?\nNow, he wanted to get rid of some extraneous people. When there was only Qin Feng left on Coiled Snake Mountain’s peak, he’d have Williams make his move on him.\nAfter hearing that first place was already taken by someone else, these rich young masters felt that staying would be meaningless. Thus, they left in groups of three or four to relax at the bar and foot massage places.\nOne by one, the sounds of the luxury cars’ engines rumbled through the valley as they sped down the road. Soon, very few people were left on the mountaintop.\n“Miss Su, is there anything else?” Everyone had left, but Su Qiu Yue still stood at the mountaintop. Wei Xiao Lei’s eyes flashed with coldness: “It’s quite dangerous to stay on this desolate mountaintop at night.”\n“Isn’t Young Master Wei here? What danger could there be?” Su Qiu Yue smiled lightly. Her gaze carefully swept over the area. A black shadow quickly concealed itself.\n“The moon from Coiled Snake Mountain is big and round. I still want to stay here for a bit longer,” Su Qiu Yue had no intention of leaving.\nWei Xiao Let was at a bit of a loss. He saw Qin Feng hugging Xu Ruo Rou and sitting at the edge of the mountaintop, so he wanted to kick him from the back to send him tumbling down the ravine where his bones would shatter and his body would be torn to shreds. But, now that Su Qiu Yue was here, he couldn’t openly do this.\nWei Xiao Lei and Williams exchanged glances. A cold smile flashed through Williams’ eyes and he muttered into Wei Xiao Lei’s ear. Wei Xiao Lei’s lips slowly curved upwards, revealing a cold smile.\n“Qin Feng, would you dare compete with Williams? Suddenly, Wei Xiao Lei and Williams arrived behind Qin Feng.\nQin Feng hadn’t left because he was waiting for the opportunity to get rid of these two. Now that he saw Wei Xiao Lei presenting himself at his doorstep, he stood with a chuckle: “Didn’t I just beat that oaf with my bicycle already? What else is there to compete in?”\nWilliams could not accept this. He thought of how he drove a racecar but was beaten by a little brat riding a bicycle and felt so angry that he wanted to beat someone up.\nWei Xiao Lei immediately gave Williams a look. Williams used his strength to rein in his anger. He stood to the side and glared viciously at Qin Feng. Wei Xiao Lei said: “Qin Feng, I’ll admit that you bike really quickly, but since this is a car race… Williams is not satisfied with his loss. I hope you can drive a racecar and compete with him again.”\n“What does him being dissatisfied have to do with me? As long as I’m happy, then it’s fine,” Qin Feng said indifferently.\nWilliams was so angry that he was about to spit blood. Wei Xiao Lei also forcefully suppressed his anger and continued: “Qin Feng, Williams said that if you win this competition, he’ll give you his Ferrari 458.”\nWilliams’ Ferrari 458 was at least 5 million on the market, so Wei Xiao Lei didn’t believe that this wouldn’t entice Qin Feng.\n“Okay, then can we start the competition now?” Qin Feng suddenly asked.\nWei Xiao Lei didn’t expect him to respond so quickly. He nodded stupidly: “Y-yeah, we can start now.”\nQin Feng suddenly laughed: “Young Master Wei, you only said that if Williams loses he’ll give me his Ferrari, but you didn’t mention my punishment if I were to lose. You’ve clearly set a trap. Didn’t you make this too obvious?...Don’t tell me you were going to try some funny business on me during the racecourse?”\nThe corner of Wei Xiao Lei’s mouth twitched. He felt that he was too hasty. He immediately cleared his throat and said with seriousness: “That’s right, I almost forgot about that. If you lose, then return the Maserati GranTurismo you won from me.”\nQin Feng thought a bit and finally remembered: “Oh, that Maserati. That was taken by a junk-collecting old man as scrap metal… I didn’t ask for money!”\nWei Xiao Lei felt as though someone brutally stabbed him in the heart. That was his favorite car, and it was reduced to the value of scrap metal. He gnashed his teeth and said: “T-then let’s bet on the Reventon you’ve just won. If you lose, that car will be Williams’.”\n“That’s no good, this Reventon is worth ten million and that Ferrari is only five million, they are clearly not on the same level,” Qin Feng shook his head.\nWei Xiao Lei felt like he was about to explode. He had the urge to just let Williams go and get rid of him. But, he saw Su Qiu Yue who was standing to the side so he suppressed this urge: “Then what do you say we should do?”\nQin Feng walked up beside Su Qiu Yue and said with a smile: “Beauty Su, can I borrow your Porsche? If I win the competition, I’ll give you the Ferrari. If I lose, I’ll give you the Reventon.”\nSu Qiu Yue looked long and hard at Qin Feng. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded: “Go ahead and use it.”\nIf the rich young masters of Sky City saw this scene, they would stare in disbelief. Su Qiu Yue was dignified and virtuous, she treated everyone with the same refined and courteous manner. But she had a clear baseline. She had never even let any man get in her car, so it was unheard of that she would lend her car to Qin Feng and let him drive it as she did now."

第一百一十七章
“秦枫……是你么？”
许若柔这会从车上探出个脑袋，心翼翼的问道。
“若柔，是我，你快出来跟我一起赏月吧。”
许若柔悬着的心脏顿时平静下来，连忙从车上跑了下来，一头扑进了秦枫怀里：“秦枫，吓死我了，这，这些都是坏人。”
看到许若柔微微红肿的俏脸蛋，五个指印还没有彻底消下去，他极力控制着自己的情绪，不让那暴戾的一面表现在许若柔的面前。
“痛不痛？” 轻轻抚过许若柔被打的脸蛋，柔声问道。
许若柔咬着牙，摇了摇头，养着脑袋，坚强的看着秦枫：“秦枫，我们回去吧。”
秦枫摸着许若柔柔软的头发：“再等等，我要让今晚欺负过你的人，都后悔来到这个世界。”
躺在秦枫温暖的怀抱里，许若柔突然觉得世界都安静下来，那是一种前所未有的安全和宁静，她突然冒出一个荒谬的念头，如果自己做了秦枫的女人，一定会很幸福吧！
秦枫来到山，暴打了韦磊一顿，又逗弄了个傻叉演西游，最后搂着许若柔坐在山边上赏了许久的月色，终于有车子的声音传了过来。
最先赶到的是一个金发卷毛男子，开着拉风的红色法拉利，停好车后，就急匆匆的跑了下来，看着秦枫和许若柔的背影：“韦哥在哪？”
“伟哥要去药店买，这里显然没有。” 秦枫摸着许若柔的大腿安慰着她，同时跟威廉姆斯道。
“韦大少呢？” 威廉姆斯沉默了一下，换了个问法。
秦枫随手指了个方向，韦磊正坐在那里画圈圈呢，威廉姆斯连忙跑了过去，看到韦磊后，吓了一跳：“我靠，这是头猪还是个人？ 你看到韦大少没有？”
韦磊差一口鲜血狂喷出来，指着自己的鼻子：“威廉，你看清楚，老子就是韦磊啊。”
威廉姆斯又仔细的看了韦磊一遍，依旧认不出他来，但是从韦磊的声音中，确定这人就是韦磊，连忙跑上去，用力撕扯着微笑了的脸皮。
“韦大少，这都什么时候了，你还有心情带个猪头面具吓人……那秦枫呢？ 我一路狂飙上来，也没看见他，那子该不是骑到一半，吓跑了吧？”
威廉姆斯的英语，但这完全难不倒秦枫，秦枫从就每年去美国旅游，为了把妹，强迫自己练了一口流利的英文。
韦磊都不知道该什么好了，他突然想到威廉姆斯是力大无穷的力量属性能力者，现在秦枫就坐在山头，如果让威廉出手，直接把秦枫丢到悬崖下去，不是更加直截了当。
有了这个想法，心灰意冷的韦磊突然站了起来，正要给威廉姆斯打眼色，山下又传来了一阵汽车的声音，跟着，一辆保时捷911，就来到了上头，一位旗袍贵美人，款款走了下来。
“妈的。”
韦磊心中暗骂一声，只好暂时打消了弄死秦枫的想法。
苏秋月一下车，就四周环顾起来，她知道秦枫早就超过自己，看到他坐在那里，并不稀奇，但是看到威廉姆斯和停在一旁的红色法拉利时，平静如水的美眸中微微闪动起来。
她自认自己的车技非比寻常，甚至比一些专业级的赛车手还要厉害，没想到这个外国样貌的高大男子，比她速度还快，看来也不是一般的人。
威廉姆斯自然不是一般人，他的车技不一般，他的身手不一般，他的家世更不一般。
他是美国的职业冠军车手，跟这些业余只是为了寻求刺激，飙车把妹的阔家大少可不是一个等级，正是因为车技惊人，韦磊才会专门把威廉姆斯找来，就是要他在赛车中途，把秦枫干掉，确保万无一失。
苏秋月来了没一会，后面陆陆续续的又赶来不少豪车，很快的，空旷的盘蛇山山，就挤得人潮鼎沸，这些人得知自己并没有拿下第一名，与那雷文顿和那个清纯美女擦肩而过，一个个都垂头丧气的。
韦磊这会和威廉姆斯已经坐在雷文顿车内，韦磊实在是不想让这些人看到自己如今的模样，拿着扩音器，在车子里喊道：“看来，大家都差不多已经到达山，这一次的地下车赛，第一名也已经产生，按照约定，我会将这辆雷文顿和那个美女送给他作为奖励……大家要是没有别的事情了，就可以散会了。”
今晚的计划并没有正常进行，秦枫不但没有弄死，自己还被打成了猪头，韦磊心里又怎么会甘心。
他现在就要先把这些多余的人，都打发走，等盘蛇山只剩下秦枫的时候，再让威廉姆斯对他下手。
听到第一名已经被别人夺去，这些阔家大少留在这也没什么意思，三五成群的约定好要去酒吧、足浴城那些地方去潇洒了。
一辆辆豪车的引擎声响彻山谷，这些人又顺着下山的道路，飞驰而去，很快的，山上就已经寥寥无几。
“苏姐还有什么事么？” 所有人都走光了，苏秋月却依旧站在山，韦磊眼中闪过阴冷的神色：“大晚上的呆在这荒凉的山上，还是比较危险的。”
“不是有韦大少在这里么，会有什么危险？” 苏秋月淡淡一笑，视线心的朝着山下的一脚扫去，一个黑影快速隐蔽了起来。
“这盘蛇山的月亮又大又圆，我还想在这里多呆一会。” 苏秋月并没有要走的意思。
韦磊有些为难了，他看到正坐在山崖边上，搂着许若柔赏月的秦枫，就恨不得从背后来上一脚，直接将他踹下悬崖，摔个粉身碎骨，可现在有苏秋月在，他不能光明正大的出手。
韦磊和威廉姆斯对望一眼，威廉姆斯眼中闪过一抹冷笑，贴在韦磊的耳边嘀咕了几句。 韦磊的嘴角慢慢扬了起来，露出一个阴冷的笑容。
“秦枫，你敢不敢在跟威廉姆斯比赛一场？” 突然，韦磊和威廉姆斯来到秦枫身后。
秦枫既然没走，也是在等着机会做掉这二人，现在见韦磊主动上门，笑呵呵的站起身来：“我刚才不是骑着自行车，赢了那傻大个，还有什么要比的么？”
对于这个事情，威廉姆斯是无法接受的，想到自己开着跑车，竟然输给了一个骑自行车的子，他就气的想打人。
韦磊连忙给威廉姆斯投了一个眼神，威廉姆斯便强忍住怒火，站在一边狠狠瞪着秦枫，韦磊这才道：“秦枫，我承认你骑车的速度很快，但这毕竟是一场赛车……威廉姆斯输的并不服气，希望你能开着一辆赛车，跟他在比试一回。”
“他不服气跟我有什么关系，我现在心里很开心就行了。” 秦枫无所谓的道。
威廉姆斯气的快要吐血，韦磊也强忍着怒火，继续道：“秦枫，威廉姆斯了，这次比赛，你要是赢了，他的那辆法拉利458就归你。”
威廉姆斯的法拉利458市面上怎么也要卖500来万，韦磊就不信秦枫会不心动。
“好啊，那现在是不是就可以比赛了？” 秦枫突然道。
韦磊都没想到他会答应的这么快，傻傻的头：“可，可以，现在就比赛。”
秦枫突然轻笑起来：“韦大少，你只了威廉姆斯输掉，就把法拉利给我，却只字未提我要是输了，该怎么惩罚，你这明显是设了个局，表现的也太明显了吧……该不会是想在比赛途中，对我使绊子吧？”
韦磊嘴角微微一抽，也觉得自己有些着急了，连忙清了清嗓子，严肃的道：“那个，我差忘了，你要是输了的话，就把之前赢我的那辆玛莎拉蒂??s限量超跑还给我。”
秦枫想了想，终于想了起来：“那辆玛莎拉蒂啊，后来被一个收破烂的老头子当废铁收走了……我没要钱！”
韦磊感觉心脏被人狠狠的刺了一剑，那可是他最爱的车子，竟然沦落为废铁的价值，狠狠的咬着牙，道：“那，那就用你刚赢的这辆雷文顿当赌注，输的话，这车子就是威廉姆斯的了。”
“不好，我这辆雷文顿价值千万，你们那辆破法拉利不过500万，根本不是一个级别的。” 秦枫摇了摇头。
韦磊感觉自己就要爆发了，有种直接让威廉姆斯上去干掉他的冲动，可是看到一旁的苏秋月，还是忍了下来：“那你怎么办？”
秦枫走到苏秋月身边，笑着道：“苏美人，能否借你的保时捷用用，要是我赢了比赛，那辆法拉利就送你，输的话，我把雷文顿给你。”
苏秋月意味深长的看了秦枫一眼，犹豫了片刻后，了头：“拿去用吧。”
这一幕要是落在天城市那些阔少的眼中，一定会瞪瞎双眼，苏秋月端庄贤淑，对待任何人都是一副彬彬有礼的状态，但她的底线很明确，她的车子，从来没有男人上过，更别现在直接把车子借过秦枫开这种事情了。

“Qin Feng… Is that you?” Xu Ruo Rou asked cautiously while peeking out of the car.
“Ruo Rou, it's me. Hurry and admire the moon with me.”
Xu Ruo Rou’s worried little heart calmed down. She ran out of the car and rushed into Qin Feng’s arms: “Qin Feng, I was scared to death. T-these are all bad people.”
When he saw Xu Ruo Rou’s slightly red and swollen face and the five finger marks that hadn't completely faded, he did all he could to control his emotions. He didn't want to show a vicious expression in front of Xu Ruo Rou.
“Does it hurt?” He lightly caressed Xu Ruo Rou’s injured face and asked.
Xu Ruo Rou gritted her teeth, shook her head, nursed her head, and looked at Qin Feng with determination: “Qin Feng, let's head back.”
Qin Feng touched Xu Ruo Rou’s soft hair: “Wait a bit longer, I have to make the person that bullied you regret they were ever born.”
As she lay in Qin Feng’s embrace, Xu Ruo Rou felt that the world quieted. She felt safety and peacefulness that she'd never experienced before. Suddenly, a ridiculous idea came to mind: if she became Qin Feng’s woman, she would definitely be really happy.
Qin Feng got to the mountaintop, gave Wei Xiao Lei a beating, idiotically reenacted Journey to the West, hugged Xu Ruo Rou, and sat for a while on the mountaintop admiring the moon when the sound of a car finally drifted over.
The first to arrive was a man with curly blonde hair who drove a flashy red Ferrari. After stopping the car, he hurriedly ran out. He saw Qin Feng and Xu Ruo Rou’s backs: “Where is Big Brother Wei?”
“If you want viagra, you have to buy it at the drugstore. There clearly isn’t any here,” Qin Feng comforted Xu Ruo Rou by rubbing her thigh and said this to Williams at the same time.
“Where’s Young Master Wei?” Williams fell quiet for a while and then asked in a different way.
Qin Feng casually pointed in a direction. Wei Xiao Lei was currently sitting and drawing circles. Williams hurriedly ran over. When he saw Wei Xiao Lei, he jumped in fright: “F*ck, is this a pig or a person? Have you seen Young Master Wei?”
Wei Xiao Lei almost sprayed fresh blood out of his mouth. He pointed at his own nose: “William, look clearly, I'm Wei Xiao Lei.”
Williams looked at Wei Xiao Lei again more closely, but he still couldn’t recognize him. However, he confirmed his identity through his voice and ran over. He did all he could to suppress his smile.
“Young Master Wei, what time is it? You’re still in the mood to bring a pig’s head to scare people? ...then what about Qin Feng? I flew up the mountain wildly but I didn’t see him. Could he have ran off after riding half of the course?”
Williams spoke English, but this didn’t cause any difficulties for Qin Feng. From his youth, Qin Feng went to America every year for vacation. In order to pick up girls, he forced himself to practice until he could speak fluent English.
Wei Xiao Lei didn’t know what to say. He suddenly thought of how Williams was extraordinarily strong. Now that Qin Feng was sitting at the mountaintop, wouldn’t it be more straightforward if William threw Qin Feng into the ravine?
Once this idea came to mind, the discouraged Wei Xiao Lei suddenly stood. He was about to exchange gazes with Williams when the sound of a car rumbled from down the mountain.
Then, a Porsche 911 arrived at the top, and a beautiful and elegant woman wearing a qipao leisurely stepped out of it.
“Damn,” the curse resounded in Wei Xiao Lei’s heart, and all he could do was temporarily cancel his intentions of killing Qin Feng.
Once Su Qiu Yue got out of the car, she surveyed the area. She knew that Qin Feng had passed her on the course long ago. She didn’t find it strange when she saw Qin Feng sitting there, but when she saw Williams and the red Ferrari parked to the side, her beautiful face that was normally calm like water shifted slightly.
She thought her driving skills were out of the ordinary, and that she was even better than some professional racers. She didn’t think that this big and tall foreign-looking man would be faster than her. It appears that he’s also not an ordinary person.
Williams naturally wasn’t an ordinary person. His driving skills were not ordinary, his talent wasn’t ordinary, and his family background was even more unordinary.
He was a professional first place-winning race car driver in America. He only interacted with these amateurs because he was looking for excitement. He wasn’t on the same level as the rich young masters that did street races and picked up girls. Because his driving skills were so outstanding, Wei Xiao Lei specifically looked for Williams as a surefire way to take care of Qin Feng during the course of the race.
Not long after Su Qiu Yue’s arrival, more luxury cars continued to stream in. Soon, the empty mountaintop became extremely crowded and bustling. When these people knew that they didn’t win first place and that they brushed shoulders with the Reventon and that beautiful pure girl, one by one, they hung their heads in disappointment.
At this time, Wei Xiao Lei and Williams sat in the Reventon. Wei Xiao Lei didn’t want these people to see what he currently looked like, so he held the loudspeaker and yelled from inside the car: “It seems that almost everyone has reached the mountaintop. The first place winner of this underground race has already appeared. According to the agreement, I will award both this Reventon and that little beauty to him… If there’s nothing else, we can adjourn this meeting.”
Tonight’s plans didn’t progress normally. Not only was Qin Feng still alive, Wei Xiao Lei was beaten into having a pig’s head. How could he be satisfied?
Now, he wanted to get rid of some extraneous people. When there was only Qin Feng left on Coiled Snake Mountain’s peak, he’d have Williams make his move on him.
After hearing that first place was already taken by someone else, these rich young masters felt that staying would be meaningless. Thus, they left in groups of three or four to relax at the bar and foot massage places.
One by one, the sounds of the luxury cars’ engines rumbled through the valley as they sped down the road. Soon, very few people were left on the mountaintop.
“Miss Su, is there anything else?” Everyone had left, but Su Qiu Yue still stood at the mountaintop. Wei Xiao Lei’s eyes flashed with coldness: “It’s quite dangerous to stay on this desolate mountaintop at night.”
“Isn’t Young Master Wei here? What danger could there be?” Su Qiu Yue smiled lightly. Her gaze carefully swept over the area. A black shadow quickly concealed itself.
“The moon from Coiled Snake Mountain is big and round. I still want to stay here for a bit longer,” Su Qiu Yue had no intention of leaving.
Wei Xiao Let was at a bit of a loss. He saw Qin Feng hugging Xu Ruo Rou and sitting at the edge of the mountaintop, so he wanted to kick him from the back to send him tumbling down the ravine where his bones would shatter and his body would be torn to shreds. But, now that Su Qiu Yue was here, he couldn’t openly do this.
Wei Xiao Lei and Williams exchanged glances. A cold smile flashed through Williams’ eyes and he muttered into Wei Xiao Lei’s ear. Wei Xiao Lei’s lips slowly curved upwards, revealing a cold smile.
“Qin Feng, would you dare compete with Williams? Suddenly, Wei Xiao Lei and Williams arrived behind Qin Feng.
Qin Feng hadn’t left because he was waiting for the opportunity to get rid of these two. Now that he saw Wei Xiao Lei presenting himself at his doorstep, he stood with a chuckle: “Didn’t I just beat that oaf with my bicycle already? What else is there to compete in?”
Williams could not accept this. He thought of how he drove a racecar but was beaten by a little brat riding a bicycle and felt so angry that he wanted to beat someone up.
Wei Xiao Lei immediately gave Williams a look. Williams used his strength to rein in his anger. He stood to the side and glared viciously at Qin Feng. Wei Xiao Lei said: “Qin Feng, I’ll admit that you bike really quickly, but since this is a car race… Williams is not satisfied with his loss. I hope you can drive a racecar and compete with him again.”
“What does him being dissatisfied have to do with me? As long as I’m happy, then it’s fine,” Qin Feng said indifferently.
Williams was so angry that he was about to spit blood. Wei Xiao Lei also forcefully suppressed his anger and continued: “Qin Feng, Williams said that if you win this competition, he’ll give you his Ferrari 458.”
Williams’ Ferrari 458 was at least 5 million on the market, so Wei Xiao Lei didn’t believe that this wouldn’t entice Qin Feng.
“Okay, then can we start the competition now?” Qin Feng suddenly asked.
Wei Xiao Lei didn’t expect him to respond so quickly. He nodded stupidly: “Y-yeah, we can start now.”
Qin Feng suddenly laughed: “Young Master Wei, you only said that if Williams loses he’ll give me his Ferrari, but you didn’t mention my punishment if I were to lose. You’ve clearly set a trap. Didn’t you make this too obvious?...Don’t tell me you were going to try some funny business on me during the racecourse?”
The corner of Wei Xiao Lei’s mouth twitched. He felt that he was too hasty. He immediately cleared his throat and said with seriousness: “That’s right, I almost forgot about that. If you lose, then return the Maserati GranTurismo you won from me.”
Qin Feng thought a bit and finally remembered: “Oh, that Maserati. That was taken by a junk-collecting old man as scrap metal… I didn’t ask for money!”
Wei Xiao Lei felt as though someone brutally stabbed him in the heart. That was his favorite car, and it was reduced to the value of scrap metal. He gnashed his teeth and said: “T-then let’s bet on the Reventon you’ve just won. If you lose, that car will be Williams’.”
“That’s no good, this Reventon is worth ten million and that Ferrari is only five million, they are clearly not on the same level,” Qin Feng shook his head.
Wei Xiao Lei felt like he was about to explode. He had the urge to just let Williams go and get rid of him. But, he saw Su Qiu Yue who was standing to the side so he suppressed this urge: “Then what do you say we should do?”
Qin Feng walked up beside Su Qiu Yue and said with a smile: “Beauty Su, can I borrow your Porsche? If I win the competition, I’ll give you the Ferrari. If I lose, I’ll give you the Reventon.”
Su Qiu Yue looked long and hard at Qin Feng. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded: “Go ahead and use it.”
If the rich young masters of Sky City saw this scene, they would stare in disbelief. Su Qiu Yue was dignified and virtuous, she treated everyone with the same refined and courteous manner. But she had a clear baseline. She had never even let any man get in her car, so it was unheard of that she would lend her car to Qin Feng and let him drive it as she did now.

This was because woon, Ge Ya, Hai Yue, Ji Wuxin, these super Overlord level characters also chased after Li Yunmu, forcing the rest to strain themselves to keep pace.\nHowever, since Li Yunmu had unleashed his Ghostly Evasion, how could those people catch up to him?\nIn the blink of an eye, the seventy something people were immediately divided into different groups. The group of people who could barely match the speed of Li Yunmu included only Ge Ya, Hai Yue, and Ji Wuxin. Behind them there was another group of four, while the third group had even more people following behind them.\nThose at the far back quickly lagged behind, unable to keep pace with the people in the front.\nAt this time, the first group that included Hai Yue was extremely astonished—Li Yunmu's Ghostly Evasion was just too fast. It was fast to the extent that even these super Overlords began to feel pressure to keep pace with him.\n\"What sort of technique is this person using? How can it be so fast? It's even faster compared to when Devil was using it. Argh!\" Ge Ya's temperament wasn't very good, and he had been the first to chase after Li Yunmu.\nHe had wanted to make him the scapegoat who would clear the path for them. Initially, he thought it was good opportunity, but before even a few minutes had passed, he discovered that he had greatly underestimated the other party's speed.\nFrom the beginning, Ge Ya had burst forth with his full strength, yet he could barely keep up. Soon, after using his full strength, he discovered that he didn't have the strength to continue on, able to only blankly look at Li Yunmu quickly pulling away from him and disappearing within the black mist.\nHowever, this had been before the signs of the Heavenly Transformation, when most powerful people of the Fifth Dimension hadn't yet revealed themselves. At that time, Ge Ya had been extremely confident about his speed, too.\nHe was convinced that if he burst forth at his full speed and employed a movement technique, then his speed wouldn't be much inferior to that of Devil. He was thus now completely shaken by the speed displayed by Li Yunmu.\nThis rookie character Li Yunmu, how exactly did he cultivate? His strength was simply unbelievable. He not only possessed a terrifying defense, but had also concealed such a terrifying speed.\nIt was way faster than what Devil had ever showed!\nFinally, Ge Ya also renounced. He slowed down and then halted. At this time, the sound of air being cleaved reached his ears and an azure flood wave rushed past him.\nAt this moment, Hai Yue was using a secret skill. She had already removed her shoes and was rushing forth using an azure flood wave, which made it look like she was floating. However, her speed wasn't slow, and she quickly passed Ge Ya. Surprisingly, she still had the energy to go after Li Yunmu.\nHe knew he possessed great strength and battle prowess, but when he saw Hai Yue standing upon the azure flood wave and rushing forth, it was as if his mind had fallen into a ninth level of hell.\nThis was the power of Ocean Temple's foundation and reserves.\nHai Yue had always been a person of few words and never appeared in the limelight, but when she displayed her strength at the crucial moment, it made Ge Ya feel feel inferior.\nShe was definitely using a supreme sage level technique. This secret technique could be said to have surpassed the level of ordinary flux cultivation battle skills and entered an entirely different level.\n\"Ge Ya, you can only give up.\"\nBefore long, Ji Wuxin's wretched voice reached his ears. Ge Ya wasn't on good terms with this woman since long ago. If not for the fact that he couldn't see through her strength, he would have made her experience why flowers are so red.\nRight then, however, he could only look with his eyes wide open as she quickly flashed past him. An instant before, she had still been behind him, but the next instant she was way ahead, appearing a hundred meters in front of him as if she had rushed forward like a falling meteor, with her figure flashing a few times in succession.\n\"Battle God Martial Step, you actually cultivate Battle God Martial Step!\"\nGe Ya recalled something and understanding immediately flooded him.\nUnexpectedly this Ji Wuxin has been handed the Battle God Martial Spep. Then is that Zhan Wuya only a nominal representative of Battle God? What exactly is going on here?\n\"Good, good, good, so you're the true successor of Battle God,\" Ge Ya loudly yelled out from behind.\nHe used to believe that whether in terms of strength or determination, he wouldn't lose to anyone. But damn it, this time he had lost to the reserves of the transcending powers.\nGe Ya who had lagged behind was finally left alone. At this moment, he suddenly felt something and quickly surveyed his surroundings. An unprecedented fear flashed onto his face.\n\"Oh, no—\" he begun to say in a broken voice, but he was cut off, and the next instant, he disappeared. ...\nAt this time, Li Yunmu with his Tyrant Body, activated completely, sometimes resembled a load of melted iron while at other times appeared like a small ball of fire rushing forward.\nWith Ghostly Evasion at the tenth level, just as Ge Ya had noticed, it was more than triple the speed which Devil had reached. The two of them were on completely different levels.\nBut this still wasn't Li Yunmu's peak speed. In order to preserve his strength, he was only displaying the strength of the fifth level of Ghostly Evasion.\nBut even then, it was sufficient to cause Hai Yue and Ji Wuxion to grow apprehensive.\nRegardless of whether it was the flood wave or Battle God Martial Step, both of them were presently using supreme level techniques, yet could barely match pace with a rookie who had been cultivating for just half a year.\nBut how could they know that Li Yunmu didn't need to adjust his mental state to cultivate a secret technique nor practice it for a long time. How could they know that as long as he had enough ability points, he could instantly cultivate to the tenth level or even higher?\nThe three of them were moving in a row, traversing through the dragon mist which kept getting thicker with each passing moment.\nA minute passed. Under normal circumstances, the three of them would've certainly crossed more than a hundred kilometers with this speed, but who could say if that was true. The sense of something being wrong here only kept growing within Li Yunmu, for even after he had used Ghostly Evasion for a long time, the surroundings hadn't changed much.\nHow is that possible? The Black Dragon Island could only be so big... Could it be that I've really entered some sort of maze?\nLi Yunmu's heart grew cold. But at this moment, he recalled the principle of absolute strength which the system had explained to him previously.\nThat's right, it doesn't matter whether I've entered some sort of illusionary maze or the Black Dragon Island is larger than anyone could've imagined, why should I care about these mysteries.\nI will unleash my strength to the pinnacle and break through it all.\nAs Li Yunmu comprehended the meaning of absolute strength more and more, he realized that it wasn't as simple as it might seem at first glance.\nIf he had attained the level of being called absolute in terms of speed, then regardless of whether it was an illusion or reality, regardless of what trapped him, he could use that absolute speed to break through it.\nReaching this conclusion, he hardened his resolve. \"Ignite! Burn it all, my sun!\""

第一百五十四章
伴随着李云牧突然发飙，这下好了，剩下这几十人瞬间苦了。 眼看着盖亚、海月、姬无伤这些实力超群的霸者级人物，追随李云牧而去，而他们却只能苦苦跟上。
然而李云牧施展的鬼影遁光术，又岂能是这些人能够跟上的。
眨下眼间，七十几许人，立刻分为了几个梯次大队，开始勉强能跟上李云牧的，也就只有盖亚、海月、姬无伤这三人，第二梯队很快就被四人甩的干干净净，而第三梯队的人更是落在后面。
后面干脆落了下来，放弃了跟上大队。
而这个时候，一直勉强跟在后面的海月几人，却越跟越心惊，因为李云牧的遁光秘术太快了。 快到就连他们这几个实力超群的霸者级人物，也渐感吃力。
“这家伙到底使用的是什么秘术，怎么可以这么快，这遁光术比鬼魔的身法还要快，我恨啊……”盖亚是一个脾气不太好的人，他是第一个追了上去。
他想要利用李云牧作死，为自己开路，这是一个大好机会，可是才过去没几分钟，他就突然发现，他太低估对方的速度了。
一开始，他全力爆发，尚且还能勉强能跟上，但是爆发的时间过后，就是后继没力，只能眼睁睁看着前面的李云牧，与他拉开，并消失于浓郁的黑雾中。
速度快的人，他盖亚也不是没有见识过，其中鬼魔之前就拥有整个五维界，最快速度者之称。 可这只有天变时代未发生时，各路强者猛人没有出世的概念，他盖亚对于自己的速度，同样也很有信心。
他相信他全力爆发，使用起速度秘法，他的速度并不会比鬼魔慢多少，可是现在他却被李云牧这一刻展示出来的速度震住了。
这个新晋人物，这个李云牧到底是怎么修练的？ 他实在难以相信，这家伙除了拥有恐怖的防御力之外，居然隐藏着这么可怕的速度。
比鬼魔还要更快的速度！
最终盖亚放弃了，他速度慢了下来，身形停顿了下来，但就在这个时候，咻一声，一道蓝色的洪波，却在他身则流涌而过。 是海月。
此时的海月，也不知动用了什么秘法，她的鞋子已经消失不见，一双赤足踩在一股湛蓝色的洪流波涌上，看似很飘然，实则却速度并不慢，带着她从盖亚身边掠过，她竟然还有能力，紧跟着李云牧。 盖亚受打击了。
他的实力很强，战力很强，他自己知道，可是现在看到海月踩着洪波前进这一幕，盖亚的心情如跌落了九重深渊。
这就是底蕴，来自海神殿的底蕴。
海月不声不响，从来也不高调，但当真正时刻，她展示出来的力量，却让盖亚也有点望尘莫及。
这绝对是无上圣阶的秘术手段，从某种意义讲，这种秘法，已经超出了寻常的弦功战技层次，这是一个截然不同的层次。
没有多久，身后又传来那个该死的姬无伤女人声音。
盖亚对于姬无伤这个女人不爽，已经很久了，这个女人说话就像一根刺，如果不是她的实力，让盖亚有点看不透，他早就想教识一下这个该死的女人，让她知道花儿为什么这么红。
但是现在，他却只能睁睁看到，姬无伤从他身边迅速闪过，前一刻，她还在他的身后很远位置，下一刻她仍然保持着冲刺的姿势，却已出现在自己前方百米开外，仿佛就像她一直保留着冲刺的姿势，但却如一股急掠的流星，连续瞬闪距离一样。
“战神武步，你竟然修练了战神武步！”
一下子，盖亚想到了许多，他这下懂了。
姬无伤居然得到了战神武步的真传，那么战无涯这个名义上的战神代理人？ 那又算是什么鬼。
“好，好好，原来你才是战神的真正传人。”
盖亚在后面大吼。 论实力、论心性坚韧，他自认不输于任何人，但是该死的，他却输于这些无上超然底蕴。
落后的盖亚，最终变的孤伶，但这个时候，他突有所感，猛然转身看向四周，蓦然，他的脸上升起一抹从所未有的惧意。
“噢，不……”盖亚的声音，嘎言而止，下一刻，他消失在了原地。
而此刻的李云牧，霸体全力运转，他就像一颗烙的发经的生铁，又像一颗小火球流星，一样迅速往前遁行。
第十重的鬼影遁光术，正如盖亚所料，他比鬼魔修练不到三重的的速度，简直就不是一个层次。
这还不是他全速遁行的状态，为了保持更悠长的遁速，现在李云牧施展的顶多是鬼影遁光术的第五重速度而已。
纵然如此，也足以让后面仍然还在追的海月与姬无心惊震莫名。
无论是海洪波或者是战神武步，她们现在所施展的都是这个世界最顶端层次的秘法，可是她们两人，却居然追不上一个出道不到半年的新晋弦者。
可是她们又怎会知道，李云牧修练所有秘法，根本就不需要什么悟性和心境的契合，更加不需要时间的日积月累。 她们又怎知道，李云牧只要有足够的内功值，他就能瞬间修练至第十重，甚至更高深的层次。
三人几乎是一前一后，在越发浓郁的龙雾中遁行，不知不觉一刻钟过去。
若是放在平时正常状况计算，三人这个遁走的距程，绝对已经超出了百公里，可是现在，李云牧却越发感觉到不对。 因为现在，他遁行了这么久，周期的环境仍然没有多大变化。
“怎么可能？ 整个黑龙岛屿才多大？ 难道自己真的陷入了某种原地踏步的境况？”
李云牧的心绪差点动遥了。 但是此刻却想起了系统曾多次提过的“绝对力量”奥义。
不错，不改现在是否陷入了某种幻境，还是这个黑龙岛屿远比想像中更庞大的空间，我为什么要去纠结它的原因所在。
我只需要把自己的绝对力量，发挥到极致就可以了。
绝对力量的奥义，伴随着李云牧一次又一次的了解领悟，他可知道，这远远不止表现上这几个字那么简单。
在速度上，如果自己也能达到绝对，那么不管现在是幻境，还是现实，无论是什么困障，他都可以用绝对来打破。
一想至此，他心头更加果决，甚至达至极端：“燃烧吧，烈日梵空！”

Chapter 283: Ignite, My Sun! Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem
When Li Yunmu suddenly took action, this spelled suffering to the remaining people. This was because woon, Ge Ya, Hai Yue, Ji Wuxin, these super Overlord level characters also chased after Li Yunmu, forcing the rest to strain themselves to keep pace.
However, since Li Yunmu had unleashed his Ghostly Evasion, how could those people catch up to him?
In the blink of an eye, the seventy something people were immediately divided into different groups. The group of people who could barely match the speed of Li Yunmu included only Ge Ya, Hai Yue, and Ji Wuxin. Behind them there was another group of four, while the third group had even more people following behind them.

At this time, the first group that included Hai Yue was extremely astonished—Li Yunmu's Ghostly Evasion was just too fast. It was fast to the extent that even these super Overlords began to feel pressure to keep pace with him.
"What sort of technique is this person using? How can it be so fast? It's even faster compared to when Devil was using it. Argh!" Ge Ya's temperament wasn't very good, and he had been the first to chase after Li Yunmu.
He had wanted to make him the scapegoat who would clear the path for them. Initially, he thought it was good opportunity, but before even a few minutes had passed, he discovered that he had greatly underestimated the other party's speed.
From the beginning, Ge Ya had burst forth with his full strength, yet he could barely keep up. Soon, after using his full strength, he discovered that he didn't have the strength to continue on, able to only blankly look at Li Yunmu quickly pulling away from him and disappearing within the black mist.
However, this had been before the signs of the Heavenly Transformation, when most powerful people of the Fifth Dimension hadn't yet revealed themselves. At that time, Ge Ya had been extremely confident about his speed, too.
He was convinced that if he burst forth at his full speed and employed a movement technique, then his speed wouldn't be much inferior to that of Devil. He was thus now completely shaken by the speed displayed by Li Yunmu.
This rookie character Li Yunmu, how exactly did he cultivate? His strength was simply unbelievable. He not only possessed a terrifying defense, but had also concealed such a terrifying speed.
It was way faster than what Devil had ever showed!
Finally, Ge Ya also renounced. He slowed down and then halted. At this time, the sound of air being cleaved reached his ears and an azure flood wave rushed past him.
At this moment, Hai Yue was using a secret skill. She had already removed her shoes and was rushing forth using an azure flood wave, which made it look like she was floating. However, her speed wasn't slow, and she quickly passed Ge Ya. Surprisingly, she still had the energy to go after Li Yunmu.
He knew he possessed great strength and battle prowess, but when he saw Hai Yue standing upon the azure flood wave and rushing forth, it was as if his mind had fallen into a ninth level of hell.
This was the power of Ocean Temple's foundation and reserves.
Hai Yue had always been a person of few words and never appeared in the limelight, but when she displayed her strength at the crucial moment, it made Ge Ya feel feel inferior.
She was definitely using a supreme sage level technique. This secret technique could be said to have surpassed the level of ordinary flux cultivation battle skills and entered an entirely different level.
"Ge Ya, you can only give up."
Before long, Ji Wuxin's wretched voice reached his ears. Ge Ya wasn't on good terms with this woman since long ago. If not for the fact that he couldn't see through her strength, he would have made her experience why flowers are so red.
Right then, however, he could only look with his eyes wide open as she quickly flashed past him. An instant before, she had still been behind him, but the next instant she was way ahead, appearing a hundred meters in front of him as if she had rushed forward like a falling meteor, with her figure flashing a few times in succession.
"Battle God Martial Step, you actually cultivate Battle God Martial Step!"
Ge Ya recalled something and understanding immediately flooded him.
Unexpectedly this Ji Wuxin has been handed the Battle God Martial Spep. Then is that Zhan Wuya only a nominal representative of Battle God? What exactly is going on here?
"Good, good, good, so you're the true successor of Battle God," Ge Ya loudly yelled out from behind.
He used to believe that whether in terms of strength or determination, he wouldn't lose to anyone. But damn it, this time he had lost to the reserves of the transcending powers.
Ge Ya who had lagged behind was finally left alone. At this moment, he suddenly felt something and quickly surveyed his surroundings. An unprecedented fear flashed onto his face.
"Oh, no—" he begun to say in a broken voice, but he was cut off, and the next instant, he disappeared. ...
At this time, Li Yunmu with his Tyrant Body, activated completely, sometimes resembled a load of melted iron while at other times appeared like a small ball of fire rushing forward.
With Ghostly Evasion at the tenth level, just as Ge Ya had noticed, it was more than triple the speed which Devil had reached. The two of them were on completely different levels.
But this still wasn't Li Yunmu's peak speed. In order to preserve his strength, he was only displaying the strength of the fifth level of Ghostly Evasion.
But even then, it was sufficient to cause Hai Yue and Ji Wuxion to grow apprehensive.
Regardless of whether it was the flood wave or Battle God Martial Step, both of them were presently using supreme level techniques, yet could barely match pace with a rookie who had been cultivating for just half a year.
But how could they know that Li Yunmu didn't need to adjust his mental state to cultivate a secret technique nor practice it for a long time. How could they know that as long as he had enough ability points, he could instantly cultivate to the tenth level or even higher?
The three of them were moving in a row, traversing through the dragon mist which kept getting thicker with each passing moment.
A minute passed. Under normal circumstances, the three of them would've certainly crossed more than a hundred kilometers with this speed, but who could say if that was true. The sense of something being wrong here only kept growing within Li Yunmu, for even after he had used Ghostly Evasion for a long time, the surroundings hadn't changed much.
How is that possible? The Black Dragon Island could only be so big... Could it be that I've really entered some sort of maze?
Li Yunmu's heart grew cold. But at this moment, he recalled the principle of absolute strength which the system had explained to him previously.
That's right, it doesn't matter whether I've entered some sort of illusionary maze or the Black Dragon Island is larger than anyone could've imagined, why should I care about these mysteries.
I will unleash my strength to the pinnacle and break through it all.
As Li Yunmu comprehended the meaning of absolute strength more and more, he realized that it wasn't as simple as it might seem at first glance.
If he had attained the level of being called absolute in terms of speed, then regardless of whether it was an illusion or reality, regardless of what trapped him, he could use that absolute speed to break through it.
Reaching this conclusion, he hardened his resolve. "Ignite! Burn it all, my sun!"

"value": "222 What is the Meaning of Creation?\nSu Ming stared at the beast skin map before him with a stunned expression. That map was stained with colors showing the signs of time. The edges were pretty worn out, giving the feeling that it had been around for ages.\nThe seemingly impassable ravine between the Land of South Morning and the Alliance of the West Morning was marked with a black line.\nThis line did not exist solely in between the Land of South Morning and the Alliance of the Western Region. It also existed between the other continents as well.\n\"Someone drew this map from memory after the second God of Berserkers was buried, though it’s only drawn with him guessing the distance… Before the second God of Berserkers, the entire land of Berserkers was one big continent. It was gigantic, and there were some who could walk through the entire continent.\"\nTian Xie Zi’s old voice came slowly from behind Su Ming.\n\"When the second God of Berserkers died, the Land of Berserkers was divided and became five continents with the Great Yu Dynasty as its center. The cauldron in the middle shows where Great Yu Dynasty is located.\n\"It’s marked with a cauldron because this cauldron is the tribal Vessel for us Berserkers!\" Tian Xie Zi’s voice became slightly low. \"The Great Barren Cauldron…\"\nThe moment these four words came out of Tian Xie Zi’s mouth, Su Ming shuddered. His attention was dragged away from the beast skin map and the only words that echoed in his ears were the three words – Great Barren Cauldron.\n\"Barren Cauldron…\" A violent surge of emotions formed in Su Ming’s heart, and Tian Xie Zi saw it reflected on Su Ming’s face, though he assumed that it was because the youth had heard about the Great Yu Dynasty. He did not know that Su Ming was thinking about that black stone hanging from his neck and all the sights he saw after he entered the space in the stone.\n‘A Barren Cauldron is required for the process of quenching herbs into pills… Is there some sort of connection… between that Barren Cauldron and the Great Barren Cauldron Tian Xie Zi mentioned…?’\nBewilderment appeared on Su Ming’s face. \"The black lines you see between the five continents are suspended lines of blood. They’re formed through the grudge left behind after the second God of Berserkers died. It’s rumored that the immortals used this grudge and worked together with the Shamans to lay out this exceedingly cruel Rune. This is the Rune that caused the five continents in the Land of Berserkers to be incomplete… \"It’s a grueling task trying to move between continents…\" Tian Xie Zi’s voice echoed in the chamber and stayed for a long time.\n\"I have no idea why you need the map, and I don’t know where you want to go on these five continents… but, since you’re my disciple, then I must tell you this… work hard to increase your level of cultivation.\n\"Your level of cultivation is everything. With your current power, even if you want to leave the Land of South Morning, it’s impossible for you to traverse the world outside Sky Mist Barrier, much less go to the other continents.\n\"You must first be able to move around safely outside the barrier before you can think of anything else and go to the places you want… and you need to rely on great power to do this!\n\"If you don’t have enough power, then don’t think of anything else. Even if you think about it, it’s useless, it’ll just make you frustrated and you won’t be able to calm down… If your heart isn’t calm, then your soul will be in turmoil, which will cause your Mark to scatter when it manifests, and you will find it hard to improve.\n\"The key is your level of cultivation. You must increase your level of cultivation!\" Tian Xie Zi said softly and lifted his right hand to pat Su Ming’s shoulder.\n\"You’re not the only one with a troubled past… Your eldest senior brother has his own past, and your second senior brother has his as well…\" Tian Xie Zi faltered in his words, as if he felt moved by something.\nSu Ming was silent for a moment, then he looked at the beast skin map before him and asked in a low whisper, \"What level of cultivation will I need to go out of Sky Mist Barrier and out of the Land of South Morning?\"\nTian Xie Zi was silent for a while before he said, \"Those who aren’t in the Bone Sacrifice Realm don’t even need to think about walking past Sky Mist Barrier! Even those who have reached Bone Sacrifice Realm need to be careful outside the barrier. The slightest carelessness will lead to a person’s doom.\n\"What lies between us and the Shamans is a blood feud!\n\"If you reach the Berserker Soul Realm, then you can travel through the barrier as you please, but you still need to be careful. Still, as long as you don’t run into the powerful Shamans from the Shaman Tribe and don’t go to some of the more dangerous places, then you can still make sure you don’t die.\"\n\"So what you’re saying is that if I reach Berserker Soul Realm, then I’ll earn the right to leave the Land of South Morning?\" Su Ming mumbled.\n\"It’s just a right, though. The Berserker Soul Realm is merely the completion of the first great realm of us practitioners of the Berserker Arts… There’s bound to be other realms after the Berserker Soul Realm!\n\"But it’s a pity, because no one knows exactly what are the other realms after the Berserker Soul Realm and how we’re supposed to reach them…\" Tian Xie Zi sighed softly.\n\"Why?\"\nSu Ming lifted his head and looked at Tian Xie Zi.\n\"Because the fourth God of Berserkers still hasn’t appeared even after so long. Only the fourth God of Berserkers can feel the presence of the third God of Berserkers’ will through a trance and obtain the inheritance of the God of Berserkers, subsequently sensing the higher realms and create the statue of the God of Berserkers for the realms after the Berserker Soul Realm, and only then will those who have reached Berserker Soul Realm be able to sense their calling.\"\nSu Ming looked at Tian Xie Zi and said after a long while, \"When I was coming here, I met a man named Bai on one of the parts of Sky Mist Barrier. He’s a Divine General in the Bone Sacrifice Realm and he mentioned you. He said you once ventured out of the Land of South Morning and went to the Great Yu Dynasty. Is this true?\"\nTian Xie Zi was silent. A conflicted look appeared on his face. He lifted his head and looked in another direction in the chamber. That part of the chamber was empty, and Su Ming had no idea what he was looking at.\n\"I don’t know whether what I saw was the Great Yu Dynasty… Once you reach the Berserker Soul Realm and you want to leave, then I’ll tell you about it.\"\nTian Xie Zi closed his eyes, and his voice sounded even older.\n\"I know a person whose level of cultivation isn’t even in the Awakenence Realm and he doesn’t live in the Great Yu Dynasty. He lives on another continent, but has left his hometown many times. There was even once… where he might have gone to the Great Yu Dynasty…\" Su Ming said, his head lowered.\nWhen Tian Xie Zi heard his words, he immediately opened his eyes, and a bright glint appeared briefly in his eyes before it instantly vanished.\nThe moment the light in his eyes shone, an incredible pressure fell upon the place suddenly, but the pressure also dissipated equally quickly, causing others to think that they might have just imagined it.\nHowever, Su Ming felt shaken. During that instant, he clearly felt as if his Qi had gone still, and even the ninth summit seemed to have shuddered.\n\"Going to Great Yu Dynasty from the other continents without even Awakening..? That’s impossible!\" Tian Xie Zi exclaimed.\n\"Impossible..? It might be.\"\nSu Ming closed his eyes and covered the bewilderment in his eyes.\nThe more he knew, the more things he found were out of place in his memories regarding Dark Mountain. It was especially so when he saw Lei Chen and Bei Ling on the Chains of Han Mountain, whose appearances he had not been able determine were real or false. There was also the elder, who seemed to have wanted to tell him something when he appeared. All of these things made him uncertain and confused about the things he saw.\n‘There’s a veil covering Dark Mountain and the things that had happened when I was in the void in the crack… Perhaps when I have the ability to lift the veil, I’ll be able to find out… the secrets surrounding me,’ Su Ming thought quietly, and this was the only thought that could prevent him from losing himself in the midst of his bewilderment, stop him from breaking down from fear and his suspicions regarding his future and his past.\n\"How can I increase my power quickly?\"\nSu Ming opened his eyes and looked towards Tian Xie Zi, who was sitting by his side.\n\"Your eldest senior brother asked me that question in the past, and I told him that he needed to have a clear mind. He thought about it for a long time and chose to isolate himself for long periods of time in the end.\"\nTian Xie Zi cast Su Ming a profound look. There was a brief pause in his sentence before he continued speaking, \"Your second senior brother also asked me the same question, and I also told him to clear his mind. His decision was different from your eldest senior brother’s. He chose to go plant flowers and trees.\n\"As for your third senior brother … well, he’s an ignorant fellow. He didn’t ask me that question, only spending all his days drinking and searching for his heart while wasting his life away.\n\"I’ll tell you the same answer. You have to have a clear mind.\"\nTian Xie Zi smiled faintly and pointed towards the entrance with his right hand.\n\"You must have been disappointed by the Berserker Vessels in the first layer of the chamber. You see them as broken and useless items. That is the same as the wine you drank from the gourd. You think it’s water, but to me, it’s wine.\n\"That’s the same logic. To me, the items in the first layer of the chamber are things that I collected throughout my life. In my heart, they’re the most precious enchanted Vessels in the world.\n\"You must also have been disappointed by all the skills belonging to Freezing Sky Clan stored in the second layer, because you couldn’t tell what was within.\"\nThere was a ghost of a smile on Tian Xie Zi’s lips as he looked at Su Ming.\nSu Ming was silent. He did not speak.\n\"You still don’t truly understand. What do Berserkers practice? We practice creation, and that means we aren’t limited by anything. We rely on ourselves to create whatever it is that we want.\n\"Those so-called skills and abilities are just creations left behind by our ancestors. There are hundreds upon thousands of Berserkers in Freezing Sky Clan, and the powerful ones are as numerous as clouds, but are these people practicing the creation?\n\"Do they know the meaning of creation?\n\"My disciples don’t need any skills or abilities. They only need to understand the rules of Creation lying in the world once they find the way to clear their mind!\"\nThere seemed to be a strange glow on Tian Xie Zi’s face. There was a sort of obstinacy with how he looked with that glow on his face.\nHowever, Tian Xie Zi’s obstinacy seemed almost like madness to Su Ming.\n\"Creation… This one word is what people desire and what they are searching for. But what is the true meaning of Creation? This is my question for you. Go think about it, understand it, and once you have your answer, come tell me.\"\nThat mysterious look was back on Tian Xie Zi’s face. He stroked his beard and spoke languidly with the airs of a well learned sage.\n\"Can I take this map with me?\"\nSu Ming stood up quietly and carefully folded up the beast skin scroll before him.\n\"If you are my disciple, then you can take away one item from each layer,\" Tian Xie Zi said, smiling softly.\nSu Ming put the beast skin away into his bosom, then looked at Tian Xie Zi and took a deep breath. He wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed towards him.\n\"Please receive the greeting from your disciple, Su Ming, Master.\"\nTian Xie Zi laughed boisterously and waved his arm. Immediately, wind blew past with a whistle and brought Su Ming out of the cave.\n\"Your senior brothers are a little odd, but you should get in touch with them. Go and search for a way to clear your mind. Trust me, you’ll be able to find it.\""

风起天寒 第222章
苏铭怔怔的望着眼前这幅兽皮地图，那地图泛着岁月的颜色，边角的位置已经破损了不少，看起来不知存在了多少个年月。
在南晨与西盟之间，那似无法跨越的沟壑，是一条漆黑的线。
这样的线，并非只存在于南晨与西蒙之间，这五块大陆每两块相邻之间，都有这样的黑线。
“这幅地图，是二代蛮神归墟之后，被人按照记忆推衍画下……在二代蛮神之前，蛮族的大地是一个完整的大陆，庞大无比，罕能有人走过全部。”
在苏铭的身后，天邪子的声音带着沧桑的味道，缓缓传来。
“二代蛮神死后，蛮族大地分裂开来，成为了以大虞为中心的五块大陆，中间的画鼎的位置，便是大虞王朝所在。
之所以用鼎来代替，是因这个鼎，便是我蛮族的族器！” 天邪子声音有些低沉。
在这三个字从天邪子口中说出的刹那，苏铭的身体一震，他的意识从沉浸在这幅兽皮地图内猛的清醒过来，耳边回荡的，只有那大荒鼎三字。
“荒鼎……”苏铭心中掀起了一震剧烈的波动，这波动被天邪子看在眼里，以为是苏铭听闻大虞后的震动，他不知道，此刻的苏铭，脑中存在的是其颈脖挂着的那块黑色的碎片，在进入那碎片空间后，所看到的一幕幕。
“淬炼药散，需荒鼎……这个荒鼎，与天邪子所说的大荒鼎……有什么关联么……”苏铭神色露出了迷茫。
“五块大陆之间你看到的黑线，是悬崩之血，是由二代蛮神死后怨气所化，这股怨气当年传闻被仙族所用，与巫族联手，布置了一个极为残忍的阵法，此阵使得我蛮族大地五块大陆无法完整……彼此之间，绝难通过……”天邪子的声音在这密室内回荡，久久不散。
“为师不知晓你需要这幅地图的原因，也不知晓这五块大陆，你的目标是哪里……但，你是我天邪子的徒儿，我必须要告诉你……努力提高你的修为吧。
修为，才是一切的根本，你想要走出南晨，先不说要说其他大陆，单单的天岚屏障外的世界，对你来说就是无法跨越。
先让自己能走出壁障，然后再想办法，去你所想的地方……而这一切，都需要一个强悍的修为作为你的依凭！
修为不够，任何事情都不要去想，想也没用，除了徒增烦恼外，只会让你的心不静……心若不静，魂则驳杂，外显纹散，难以精进。 修为，提高你的修为！”
天邪子轻声开口，右手抬起，在盘膝坐在那里的苏铭肩膀上拍了拍。
“有故事的人，不只你一个……你大师兄也有他的故事，你二师兄也是如此……”天邪子话语顿了一下，似有些感慨。
“什么样的修为，才可以走出天岚壁障，才可以走出南晨之地。” 苏铭沉默片刻，望着眼前这幅兽皮地图，低声开口。
“没有达到祭骨境，不要考虑走出天岚壁障！ 即便是祭骨境之人，在壁障外也要极为谨慎，稍有不慎，便可陨落。
我蛮族与巫族之间，是血仇！
若你能达到蛮魂境，才可随意进出壁障，但也同样要谨慎，不过只要不是遇到巫族的几个大巫，不去几个危险的地方，还是可以让自己不陨落的。” 天邪子沉默了一会，缓缓说道。
“这么来说，只要我达到了蛮魂境，就拥有了走出南晨的资格。” 苏铭喃喃。
“也仅仅是资格罢了，蛮魂之境，只是我蛮族修行的第一个大境界圆满而已……在蛮魂之后，定还有其他境界！
可惜，更高的境界是什么，如何达到，已经几乎无人知晓了……”天邪子轻叹一声。
“为什么？”
苏铭抬起头，看向天邪子。
“因为四代蛮神已经很久很久没有出现了，唯有四代蛮神出现，感受到冥冥中存在的三代蛮神意志，获得蛮神的传承，才可感受到更高的境界，创下蛮魂之后的境界蛮像，才可让我蛮族所有达到了蛮魂境界之人，得以感应。”
苏铭望着天邪子，许久之后缓缓开口：“我曾在来此的路上，在一处天岚壁障旁遇到了一个白姓男子，此人是祭骨神将，他提起过你，说你曾走出过南晨，去往了大虞。 不知此事真假。”
天邪子沉默，神色有了复杂，他抬头望着此密室的另一个方向，那里一片空无，不知他在看着什么。 在天邪子的目中，渐渐有了追忆。
“我不知道我看到的，是不是大虞……此事等你修为到了蛮魂后，等你要离开时，我再告诉你好了。”
天邪子闭上眼，声音越加的沧桑起来。
“我知道一个人，他的修为不到开尘，没有住在大虞，而是在其他的大陆上，但却从其所在的地方外出多次，其中有那么一次……他应该是去往了大虞王朝……”苏铭低着头，说着。
天邪子听闻此话，闭着的双眼猛地睁开，其目中有刹那的精光一闪便立刻消失。
在其目中光芒闪烁的那么一瞬间，一股莫大的威压骤然降临，这威压散的太快，以至于很容易让人以为是错觉。
但苏铭却是心神一震，在方才那一刹那，他明显感觉到自己的气血好似静止，甚至所在的这第九峰，都隐隐一震。
“没到开尘，从其他大陆去了大虞……此事，不可能！”
“不可能么……或许是吧。”
苏铭闭上了眼，盖住了其目中的迷茫。
了解的越多，他越是觉得在乌山自己记忆里的一幕幕，似存在了太多的蹊跷，尤其是在邯山链上他看到的那自己也分辨不清是真假的雷辰与北凌二人，还有阿公出现后，似要开口告诉自己什么事情的一幕，都让他对于眼前所看的这些，有了迟疑与迷茫。
“有一层面纱，遮盖了乌山，遮盖了我在裂缝虚洞内的事情……或许，当我有实力去掀开这面纱时，我会发现一个……环绕在我身边的隐秘。”
“如何才可以让自己的修为快速提升。”
苏铭张开眼，看着一旁的天邪子。
“这个问题，你师兄当年问过我，我的回答是静心，他想了很久，最终决定去常年闭关。” 天邪子大有深意的望着苏铭，话语一顿后，又继续开口。
“你二师兄当年也问过，我的回答同样是静心，而他的选择与你大师兄不同，他选择了去种那些花花草草。
至于你三师兄，那是一个浑人，他没有问我这个问题，但却整日里喝酒，醉生梦死间，去寻找属于他的心。
你这里，我的回答一如既往，还是静心。”
天邪子微微一笑，右手抬起一指前方。
“第一层密室的蛮器，让你失望了是吧，你看它们是废弃残破无用之物，如你喝下葫芦里的酒，你感觉，那是水，而在我感觉，却是酒。
一样的道理，在我看去，第一层密室里的东西，是为师一生收集，它们在我心里，是最珍贵的法器。”
“还有那二层密室里的天寒宗所有功法神通，想来也是让你大失所望，看不到里面的究竟。”
天邪子似笑非笑，望着苏铭。
苏铭沉默，没有说话。
“你还是没有真正的明白，我蛮族所修的是什么，造之一字，便是不被束缚，一切依靠自己去创造出来。
那些所谓的功法神通，也都是前人创造的罢了，天寒宗的十万蛮修，强者如云，但这些人所修的，是造么？
他们明白，造之一字的含义么？
我天邪子的徒儿，不会有功法，不会有神通，有的，只是你自己在找到了静心的方法后，去明悟出的，这天地造化！”
天邪子的脸上似起了一种奇异的光芒，在这光芒下，他如今的样子，充满了一种执着。
只是那执着，在苏铭看去隐隐有些近乎癫狂。
“造化，造化，这两个字，世人都在渴望，都在寻觅，但真正的造化是什么？ 这是我对你提出的一个问题，去想，去悟，找到答案后，来告诉我。”
天邪子又有了那副高深莫测的样子，摸着胡须，前辈高人般的悠悠开口。
“我可以将这地图带走么。”
苏铭默默的站起身，将面前的兽皮卷珍重的叠起。
“作为我的弟子，每层，你可以取走一物。”
天邪子微微一笑。 苏铭将兽皮放入怀里，看着天邪子，深吸口气，向着其抱拳一拜。
“弟子苏铭，拜见师尊。”
天邪子哈哈大笑，袖子一卷，立刻有风呼啸而来，卷着苏铭，出了这洞府。
“你几个师兄性格古怪，你可多多接触，去寻找让你静心的方法吧，我相信，你能找到。”

222 What is the Meaning of Creation?
Su Ming stared at the beast skin map before him with a stunned expression. That map was stained with colors showing the signs of time. The edges were pretty worn out, giving the feeling that it had been around for ages.
The seemingly impassable ravine between the Land of South Morning and the Alliance of the West Morning was marked with a black line.
This line did not exist solely in between the Land of South Morning and the Alliance of the Western Region. It also existed between the other continents as well.
"Someone drew this map from memory after the second God of Berserkers was buried, though it’s only drawn with him guessing the distance… Before the second God of Berserkers, the entire land of Berserkers was one big continent. It was gigantic, and there were some who could walk through the entire continent."
Tian Xie Zi’s old voice came slowly from behind Su Ming.
"When the second God of Berserkers died, the Land of Berserkers was divided and became five continents with the Great Yu Dynasty as its center. The cauldron in the middle shows where Great Yu Dynasty is located.
"It’s marked with a cauldron because this cauldron is the tribal Vessel for us Berserkers!" Tian Xie Zi’s voice became slightly low. "The Great Barren Cauldron…"
The moment these four words came out of Tian Xie Zi’s mouth, Su Ming shuddered. His attention was dragged away from the beast skin map and the only words that echoed in his ears were the three words – Great Barren Cauldron.
"Barren Cauldron…" A violent surge of emotions formed in Su Ming’s heart, and Tian Xie Zi saw it reflected on Su Ming’s face, though he assumed that it was because the youth had heard about the Great Yu Dynasty. He did not know that Su Ming was thinking about that black stone hanging from his neck and all the sights he saw after he entered the space in the stone.
‘A Barren Cauldron is required for the process of quenching herbs into pills… Is there some sort of connection… between that Barren Cauldron and the Great Barren Cauldron Tian Xie Zi mentioned…?’
Bewilderment appeared on Su Ming’s face. "The black lines you see between the five continents are suspended lines of blood. They’re formed through the grudge left behind after the second God of Berserkers died. It’s rumored that the immortals used this grudge and worked together with the Shamans to lay out this exceedingly cruel Rune. This is the Rune that caused the five continents in the Land of Berserkers to be incomplete… "It’s a grueling task trying to move between continents…" Tian Xie Zi’s voice echoed in the chamber and stayed for a long time.
"I have no idea why you need the map, and I don’t know where you want to go on these five continents… but, since you’re my disciple, then I must tell you this… work hard to increase your level of cultivation.
"Your level of cultivation is everything. With your current power, even if you want to leave the Land of South Morning, it’s impossible for you to traverse the world outside Sky Mist Barrier, much less go to the other continents.
"You must first be able to move around safely outside the barrier before you can think of anything else and go to the places you want… and you need to rely on great power to do this!
"If you don’t have enough power, then don’t think of anything else. Even if you think about it, it’s useless, it’ll just make you frustrated and you won’t be able to calm down… If your heart isn’t calm, then your soul will be in turmoil, which will cause your Mark to scatter when it manifests, and you will find it hard to improve.
"The key is your level of cultivation. You must increase your level of cultivation!" Tian Xie Zi said softly and lifted his right hand to pat Su Ming’s shoulder.
"You’re not the only one with a troubled past… Your eldest senior brother has his own past, and your second senior brother has his as well…" Tian Xie Zi faltered in his words, as if he felt moved by something.
Su Ming was silent for a moment, then he looked at the beast skin map before him and asked in a low whisper, "What level of cultivation will I need to go out of Sky Mist Barrier and out of the Land of South Morning?"
Tian Xie Zi was silent for a while before he said, "Those who aren’t in the Bone Sacrifice Realm don’t even need to think about walking past Sky Mist Barrier! Even those who have reached Bone Sacrifice Realm need to be careful outside the barrier. The slightest carelessness will lead to a person’s doom.
"What lies between us and the Shamans is a blood feud!
"If you reach the Berserker Soul Realm, then you can travel through the barrier as you please, but you still need to be careful. Still, as long as you don’t run into the powerful Shamans from the Shaman Tribe and don’t go to some of the more dangerous places, then you can still make sure you don’t die."
"So what you’re saying is that if I reach Berserker Soul Realm, then I’ll earn the right to leave the Land of South Morning?" Su Ming mumbled.
"It’s just a right, though. The Berserker Soul Realm is merely the completion of the first great realm of us practitioners of the Berserker Arts… There’s bound to be other realms after the Berserker Soul Realm!
"But it’s a pity, because no one knows exactly what are the other realms after the Berserker Soul Realm and how we’re supposed to reach them…" Tian Xie Zi sighed softly.
"Why?"
Su Ming lifted his head and looked at Tian Xie Zi.
"Because the fourth God of Berserkers still hasn’t appeared even after so long. Only the fourth God of Berserkers can feel the presence of the third God of Berserkers’ will through a trance and obtain the inheritance of the God of Berserkers, subsequently sensing the higher realms and create the statue of the God of Berserkers for the realms after the Berserker Soul Realm, and only then will those who have reached Berserker Soul Realm be able to sense their calling."
Su Ming looked at Tian Xie Zi and said after a long while, "When I was coming here, I met a man named Bai on one of the parts of Sky Mist Barrier. He’s a Divine General in the Bone Sacrifice Realm and he mentioned you. He said you once ventured out of the Land of South Morning and went to the Great Yu Dynasty. Is this true?"
Tian Xie Zi was silent. A conflicted look appeared on his face. He lifted his head and looked in another direction in the chamber. That part of the chamber was empty, and Su Ming had no idea what he was looking at.
"I don’t know whether what I saw was the Great Yu Dynasty… Once you reach the Berserker Soul Realm and you want to leave, then I’ll tell you about it."
Tian Xie Zi closed his eyes, and his voice sounded even older.
"I know a person whose level of cultivation isn’t even in the Awakenence Realm and he doesn’t live in the Great Yu Dynasty. He lives on another continent, but has left his hometown many times. There was even once… where he might have gone to the Great Yu Dynasty…" Su Ming said, his head lowered.
When Tian Xie Zi heard his words, he immediately opened his eyes, and a bright glint appeared briefly in his eyes before it instantly vanished.
The moment the light in his eyes shone, an incredible pressure fell upon the place suddenly, but the pressure also dissipated equally quickly, causing others to think that they might have just imagined it.
However, Su Ming felt shaken. During that instant, he clearly felt as if his Qi had gone still, and even the ninth summit seemed to have shuddered.
"Going to Great Yu Dynasty from the other continents without even Awakening..? That’s impossible!" Tian Xie Zi exclaimed.
"Impossible..? It might be."
Su Ming closed his eyes and covered the bewilderment in his eyes.
The more he knew, the more things he found were out of place in his memories regarding Dark Mountain. It was especially so when he saw Lei Chen and Bei Ling on the Chains of Han Mountain, whose appearances he had not been able determine were real or false. There was also the elder, who seemed to have wanted to tell him something when he appeared. All of these things made him uncertain and confused about the things he saw.
‘There’s a veil covering Dark Mountain and the things that had happened when I was in the void in the crack… Perhaps when I have the ability to lift the veil, I’ll be able to find out… the secrets surrounding me,’ Su Ming thought quietly, and this was the only thought that could prevent him from losing himself in the midst of his bewilderment, stop him from breaking down from fear and his suspicions regarding his future and his past.
"How can I increase my power quickly?"
Su Ming opened his eyes and looked towards Tian Xie Zi, who was sitting by his side.
"Your eldest senior brother asked me that question in the past, and I told him that he needed to have a clear mind. He thought about it for a long time and chose to isolate himself for long periods of time in the end."
Tian Xie Zi cast Su Ming a profound look. There was a brief pause in his sentence before he continued speaking, "Your second senior brother also asked me the same question, and I also told him to clear his mind. His decision was different from your eldest senior brother’s. He chose to go plant flowers and trees.
"As for your third senior brother … well, he’s an ignorant fellow. He didn’t ask me that question, only spending all his days drinking and searching for his heart while wasting his life away.
"I’ll tell you the same answer. You have to have a clear mind."
Tian Xie Zi smiled faintly and pointed towards the entrance with his right hand.
"You must have been disappointed by the Berserker Vessels in the first layer of the chamber. You see them as broken and useless items. That is the same as the wine you drank from the gourd. You think it’s water, but to me, it’s wine.
"That’s the same logic. To me, the items in the first layer of the chamber are things that I collected throughout my life. In my heart, they’re the most precious enchanted Vessels in the world.
"You must also have been disappointed by all the skills belonging to Freezing Sky Clan stored in the second layer, because you couldn’t tell what was within."
There was a ghost of a smile on Tian Xie Zi’s lips as he looked at Su Ming.
Su Ming was silent. He did not speak.
"You still don’t truly understand. What do Berserkers practice? We practice creation, and that means we aren’t limited by anything. We rely on ourselves to create whatever it is that we want.
"Those so-called skills and abilities are just creations left behind by our ancestors. There are hundreds upon thousands of Berserkers in Freezing Sky Clan, and the powerful ones are as numerous as clouds, but are these people practicing the creation?
"Do they know the meaning of creation?
"My disciples don’t need any skills or abilities. They only need to understand the rules of Creation lying in the world once they find the way to clear their mind!"
There seemed to be a strange glow on Tian Xie Zi’s face. There was a sort of obstinacy with how he looked with that glow on his face.
However, Tian Xie Zi’s obstinacy seemed almost like madness to Su Ming.
"Creation… This one word is what people desire and what they are searching for. But what is the true meaning of Creation? This is my question for you. Go think about it, understand it, and once you have your answer, come tell me."
That mysterious look was back on Tian Xie Zi’s face. He stroked his beard and spoke languidly with the airs of a well learned sage.
"Can I take this map with me?"
Su Ming stood up quietly and carefully folded up the beast skin scroll before him.
"If you are my disciple, then you can take away one item from each layer," Tian Xie Zi said, smiling softly.
Su Ming put the beast skin away into his bosom, then looked at Tian Xie Zi and took a deep breath. He wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed towards him.
"Please receive the greeting from your disciple, Su Ming, Master."
Tian Xie Zi laughed boisterously and waved his arm. Immediately, wind blew past with a whistle and brought Su Ming out of the cave.
"Your senior brothers are a little odd, but you should get in touch with them. Go and search for a way to clear your mind. Trust me, you’ll be able to find it."

"from": "gpt",
"value": "Chapter 808 - Thunder Tree Palace\nAfter some brief interaction, Yang Kai understood that although this Kuang Shi had achieved a high degree of sentience, like many of the Monster Race, he still mainly relied on his instincts.\nAfter all, having evolved from Monster Beasts, this was understandable.\nThis kind of person showed everything they were thinking on their face and would change between happy and angry in an instant. If they felt that you were a good person, they would open up to you and trust you, if you weren’t pleasing to the eye though, they would not hesitate to attack.\nYang Kai actually felt that dealing with this kind of person was quite interesting.\nSo when he faced Kuang Shi, he didn’t try to put up any kind of front.\n“Good, I’ll lead you to the Thunder Tree Palace, but whether Great Senior will see you is not something I can guarantee,” Kuang Shi hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing.\n“Many thanks,” Yang Kai sighed with relief and knew that it was the approval of the other party.\nThunder Tree Palace… Although Yang Kai wasn’t familiar with this place, he simply assumed it was where the Monster Race Great Senior lived.\nIt was an imposing sounding name.\nAfter agreeing to lead Yang Kai, Kuang Shi didn’t waste any time and immediately set off. Along the way he constantly warned Yang Kai to not play any tricks otherwise he would make him suffer.\nEach time the subject came up, Yang Kai would promise to not cause trouble.\nIt wasn’t until now that Yang Kai realized just how vast the Beast Sea Jungle was, and as he flew forward he saw tens of thousands of Monster Beasts living here, from newborn cubs to the Monster Race masters that had achieved human form.\nThere were only a few Monster Race gatherings of this size throughout the entire Monster Domain and each one had their own Great Senior assuming command.\nThe Human Territory, Monster Domain, and Demon Land, were not equal in size. The Human Territory was the most extensive, followed by the Demon Land, then finally the Monster Domain.\nThis Beast Sea Jungle was a whole one-tenth of the entire Monster Domain.\nIf Yang Kai wanted to travel to Thunder Tree Palace from here, it would take at least three days.\nThree days one way meant a six day round trip. While this wasn’t a short amount of time but it also wasn’t too long, so Yang Kai didn’t rush, calmly flying forward, following behind Kuang Shi as he appreciated to sights of the Beast Sea Jungle.\nUnder his Divine Sense’s exploration, Yang Kai discovered numerous types of rare ores, spirit grass, and spirit medicines which were simply growing wildly in the jungle, no one even attempting to mine or harvest them. Occasionally, some Monster Beasts would directly eat some of the spirit herbs like a cow chewing on grass. Seeing this, Yang Kai felt an impulse to spit blood.\nIf he could get his hands on these materials and refine them into pills, their efficacies could be multiplied several times over compared to simple swallowing them.\nHowever, Yang Kai knew this was not the time to pursue such matters and simply praised the richness of the Beast Sea Jungle instead.\nOf course, the only one around to share these words of praise with was Kuang Shi. After traveling together for a day, Kuang Shi discovered that this human was actually quite easy to get along with and began speaking more opening with him.\nAfter Yang Kai gifted him an artifact that was quite suitable for him to use, Kuang Shi immediately became friendly with him.\nEven if Yang Kai was to gift one of these to another, it would have to be someone very close to him.\nHowever, Yang Kai had a number of lower grade artifacts on hand. When he had gone to explore the Ancient Ruins deep below the sea with An Ling’er last time, he had collected quite a few, so giving one away here to acquire some favour was no burden to him.\nWith a new artifact in hand and a few bottles of pills in his pocket, Kuang Shi was all smiles.\nNow, when Yang Kai called him Brother Kuang or friend, Kuang Shi didn’t raise any objections.\nAs they traversed the Beast Sea Jungle, with Kuang Shi leading the way, although they were stopped every now and then by other Monster Race masters, upon hearing that Yang Kai was the new Holy Master of Nine Heavens Holy Land, all of them simply cast him curious glances before allowing them to pass.\nPerhaps, to these Monster Race masters, Nine Heavens Holy Land disappearing was not something they wanted to see.\nIn the past, the old Holy Master had brought a lot of Crystal Stones, pills, and artifacts which had enriched their lives greatly, so after going two years without any of these, these Monster Race masters were quite anxious to see trade resume.\nThree days later, a massive tree that towered higher than any he had ever seen before appeared before Yang Kai’s eyes.\nThis ancient tree was like a mountain, soaring into the sky, innumerable giant branches growing from its immense trunk, and its massive canopy casting a shadow more than a dozen kilometers in length. Yang Kai suddenly came to a halt.\nWhen he first saw this ancient tree, he actually thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, but after carefully examining the scene in front of him, he realized it really was a tree.\nIt’s just that this tree was too enormous.\nThe world was truly filled with wonders. Compared to this giant tree, the Divine Tree in Yang Kai’s Black Book space was like a three-year-old baby.\nKuang Shi saw the shocked look on Yang Kai’s face and couldn’t help smiling smugly, “What you’re seeing is the Thunder Tree Palace, the place where Great Senior and the various members of my clan live. Great Senior’s residence is at the very top.”\n“Why is it called Thunder Tree Palace?” Yang Kai asked with genuine curiosity.\nKuang Shi snorted gruffly and explained, “Thunder Tree Palace is actually a tens of thousands of years old Thunder Swallowing Wood. It is capable of naturally attracting Heavenly Thunder and refining it within its trunk. You must have heard that Great Senior’s original form is the noble Scarlet Flame Thunder Dragon. Great Senior’s cultivation requires the power of thunder and lightning so this is the perfect place for him to live.”\n“It can attract the power of thunder and lightning?” Yang Kai was shocked, “If that’s so, how can others live there?”\n“Great Senior’s methods are not something you can comprehend. The power of Heavenly Thunder is absorbed by Great Senior and will thus not affect others who live down below,” Kuang Shi proudly explained, “Of course, there are a few others among my clan who need the power of thunder and lightning to cultivate so Great Senior will give a portion to them.”\nOn the road here, Yang Kai learned that Kuang Shi deeply admired this Monster Race Great Senior, any time his name came up in conversation, Kuang Shi would show a look of worship.\nSo seeing the abundance of pride on his Kuang Shi’s face right now didn’t even faze Yang Kai anymore, simply nodding and replying, “So that’s how it is, your Great Senior is truly impressive.”\n“Naturally,” Kuang Shi laughed heartily, “I wonder if I, Kuang Shi, will be able to reach Great Senior’s height in this life. Good, let’s not discuss this anymore, come with me, we’ll be there soon.”\nYang Kai nodded and quickly followed.\nA short time later, the two arrived below the huge ancient tree.\nAs soon as arrived, from all directions, Yang Kai felt numerous Divine Senses probing him, like a raging torrent, washing over every inch of his body, seemingly want to inspect him inside and out.\nYang Kai’s expression remained calm, allowing them to scan him all they wanted, not putting up any kind of resistance, and simply staring around indifferently.\nBeneath the ancient tree there were many Monster Beasts, each and every one of them possessing a sturdy body.\nPurple-backed blood spider, golden-striped steel turtle, phosphorous green leopard, red-flowered pheasant… all sorts of rare Monster Beasts Yang Kai couldn’t identify had gathered around.\nAs if awoken by Yang Kai’s appearance, these Monster Beasts all stood up and glared towards him menacingly, their eyes darting back and forth, seemingly communicating with each other.\nYang Kai immediately understood that these Monster Beasts couldn’t be compared to the ones he encountered in the Beast Sea Jungle.\nThese Monster Beasts all undoubtedly possessed a high degree of intelligence, no worse than Kuang Shi, and their strengths were also not low, at minimum having reached the Seventh-Order.\nYang Kai secretly guessed that they might not be able to assume human form or were members of the Monster Race who simply preferred remaining in beast form.\nUnder the gaze of so many eyes, Yang Kai remained calm and composed, further attracting the attention of these Monster Beasts.\nOn the other hand, after arriving here, Kuang Shi became slightly more restrained, quickly greeting some of his acquaintances here before hurriedly saying to Yang Kai, “You wait here, I’m going to report to Senior Cai Die (Bright Butterfly); whether or not you can meet Great Senior will be up to her.”\nYang Kai gently nodded.\nKuang Shi then leapt up into the ancient tree, quickly disappearing into its branches.\nYang Kai stood in place like he was told while the surrounding powerful Monster Beasts eyed him like an uninvited guest, obviously not pleased with his appearance.\nHowever, all of this was within Yang Kai’s expectations so he was psychologically prepared.\nSuddenly, a rustling sound came from above his head and a moment later several figures fell down onto some of the lower branches, each of them directing curious and condescending looks towards Yang Kai.\nWhen he heard this movement, Yang Kai unconsciously lifted his eyes and couldn’t help feeling shocked.\nNaturally, these figures were Monster Race masters who had achieved human form.

Each and every one of them remained silent, only the young woman with the cat ears showing an extremely interested look, muttering under her breath, exposing her sharp teeth.\nWhen he met eyes with any of them, Yang Kai would gently nod while the Monster Race masters would simply sneer lightly.\nSuddenly, a pitiful yell came from high up in the ancient tree. When he heard this yell though, Yang Kai immediately frowned.\nBecause the one shouting was clearly Kuang Shi who had led him here. It seemed like he had been beaten ruthlessly and was now falling.\nWith a burst of snapping sounds, Kuang Shi’s burly body broke numerous branches and ripped off countless leaves before smashing into the ground in front of Yang Kai, directly opening up a large pit.\n“You dare bring a human to my clan’s Thunder Tree Palace, Kuang Shi, are you tired of living? If so, I’ll send you to the afterlife right now!” A tender yet ice cold voice suddenly called out from above. In the next instant, in a flash of multi-coloured light, a pretty figure appeared in front of Yang Kai and gently floated mid-air. Although this woman was clearly reprimanding Kuang Shi, her beautiful eyes were actually fixed on Yang Kai, a sharp light flashing across them.\nWith this posted, it will still be 9 chapters a week. Though, there might have been some broken-hearted readers."

第八百零八章
一番接触，杨开也看出来了，这个狂狮虽然神智已开，心思却不是那么伶俐，正如许多妖族一样，在很多方面都遵循着自己的本能行事。
毕竟是由妖兽之身化形而来，倒也可以理解。
这样的人喜恶全部表露在脸上，没什么心机，有时候很好打交道，有时候也翻脸极快，若他看着顺眼，那便会表现的亲近，若是惹他不开心，下一刻便会大打出手。
从某种意义上来说，杨开倒觉得这种人很有意思。
所以他在面对狂狮的时候，没有丝毫不自然。
“恩，也罢，我便领你去一趟雷木府，不过大尊到底要不要见你却不是我能够说了算的。” 狂狮沉吟了好一会才一口答应下来。
杨开暗暗松了口气，知道这是获得对方的认可了。
雷木府……他虽然不知道那是什么地方，但也隐约能猜测到，那应该便是妖族大尊居住的地方。
倒是起了个不俗的名字。
狂狮答应下来之后也没拖延时间，当即便带着杨开启程上路，口口声声警告他别花什么花招，否则定要他好看云云。
杨开没口子答应下来。
直到此刻杨开才知道，整个兽海密林很是广袤，在这里生活的妖兽多达几万，从刚出生的幼兽到已化形的强者，应有尽有，也囊括了几乎整个妖族的种类。
象这样的妖族聚集地，在整个妖域内，也只有几处而已，每一处都有一位妖族大尊坐镇统辖。
人领，妖域，魔疆，其中人类的地盘最是宽广，其次是魔疆，妖域是占地面积最小的一块。
兽海密林却有整个妖域十分之一的领土。
想要从这里去雷木府，最起码也要三日的路程。 三日时间。
来回的话便是六日，时间上倒是来得及，所以杨开并不着急，一路飞去。 不紧不慢地跟在狂狮身后，领略着兽海密林的风采。
神念感知下，各种珍稀的矿石和灵草灵药就那么暴敛天物地生长在密林之中，无人问津开采。 偶有一些妖兽直接将那些难得一见的灵草灵药吞入口中，如牛嚼牡丹般咽下肚里。
那些材料若是能拿来让他炼制成丹药，功效最起码能翻上好几倍，远比这样直接吞服起到的作用大。
现在也不是追究这个的时候，杨开虽然感到惋惜，却也没多说什么，只一个劲地称赞兽海密林的富饶丰裕。
这些话正投了狂狮的下怀，一日相处下来，狂狮赫然发现这个人类其实也挺不错，说出来的那些话很是中听。
杨开再送了他一些适合他使用的秘宝之后。 狂狮立刻对他亲切起来。
圣陵里得到的那些圣级秘宝杨开自然不可能随便送人，那些秘宝每一样都价值连城，是天底下不可多得的宝贝。
不过其他档次不高不低的秘宝，杨开手上却聚集了不少，上次跟安灵儿一起下海的时候，在那海底的上古遗迹中搜集到了一些，此刻正好拿来做顺水人情。
狂狮手上拿着秘宝，怀里捧着丹药，神态变得很谄媚。
杨开再称呼他为狂兄或者朋友的时候。
一路平安无事，有狂狮带领，沿路所过之处，虽偶有妖族强者被惊动。 但也都没有为难杨开，待听闻是九天圣地的新圣主之后，纷纷都投以好奇的眼光，痛快放行。
或许在妖族看来，少了九天圣地，他们也过得不是很愉快。
老圣主都会带来大批灵石和灵丹秘宝什么的，但这两年下来他们却什么都没见到，自然缅怀当时的情景。
三日后，一颗高耸入云，巨大无匹的参天古树，忽然印入杨开的眼帘。
那古树巍峨的犹如一座山峰，直插云霄，巨大的树冠，几乎遮蔽了方圆几十里的阳光，在那斜长出来的树干茂密至极。 杨开顿时怔住。
第一眼看到这可古树的时候，他还以为自己眼花看错了，待仔细确认之后，才明白那真的只是一颗树。
只是这颗树，长的未免太庞大了一些。
真是天下万物，无奇不有啊。 黑书空间里的神树与之比较起来，简直就如三岁婴儿般弱小。
狂狮将杨开震惊的脸色收入眼底，摇头晃脑傲然道：“看到了没，那便是雷木府了，是大尊和我族各路强者居住的地方，大尊便在那最顶上的一间木屋内。”
“为什么会叫雷木府？” 杨开有些好奇。
狂狮哼了哼，道：“那可是万年雷噬木，天生能够牵引九天雷电之力，想必你也听说了吧，咱们大尊的本体是尊贵的赤炎雷龙，大尊修炼便需要雷电之力，所以住在这地方正是恰到好处。”
“牵引雷电之力？” 杨开惊愕，“这样一来，其他人住在里面没关系么？”
“大尊的手段可不是你能够想象的，从天而落的九天雷电之力只会被大尊吸收，不会影响到其他人的。” 狂狮自豪地解释道，“当然，也有几个家伙也需要那雷电之力用来修炼，大尊都会分给他们一些。”
这一路行来，杨开也知道狂狮相当崇拜那个大尊，凡是与大尊有关系的，狂狮都会表现出一副顶礼膜拜的表情。
所以面对他此刻的自豪和骄傲，杨开也已经麻木了，只是淡淡点头道：“原来如此，你们大尊果然了得。” “那是。”
狂狮嘿嘿笑着，“我狂狮不知今生有没有可能达到大尊那种程度啊。 不说了，你随我来吧，马上就到了。”
杨开点点头，跟上他的步伐。
不大一会功夫，两人便来到了那颗巨大的古树下方。
一来到此处，杨开便感觉四面八方，好些道神念锁在了自己身上，如水银一般渗透进自己的每一寸肌肤，似乎要将自己从内到外查探个遍。
杨开表情不变，任由他们查探着，也没有丝毫排斥反抗的念头，只是冷眼打量四周。
古树的下方，原本匍匐着许许多多的妖兽，这些妖兽每一只都模样狰狞，体型矫健。
紫背血蛛、金线钢龟、绿磷豹、赤花貂……种种杨开叫得出名字叫不出名字的妖兽，应有尽有。
似乎是被杨开的气息牵引，这些妖兽纷纷从自己的匍匐之地站了起来，一只只神态不善地朝这边望来，那一双双兽瞳交汇，神念传递，似乎还在交流些什么。
杨开暗暗凛然，知道这些妖兽与他在兽海密林里碰到的那些可不能相提并论。
这些妖兽无疑已经具备了不俗的灵智，一点也不比狂狮差，而且它们的等级也不低，每一只都是七阶以上。
杨开暗暗猜测它们可能是没能化为人形，或者喜欢保持兽身的妖族强者。
在那众多目光的注视下，杨开安然若素，表情从容，愈发地引起了那些妖兽的瞩目。
反倒是来到此处的狂狮，略显有些拘谨，呵呵傻笑地跟四周打了个招呼，冲杨开道：“你且在这里等着，我去禀告下彩蝶大人，能不能见到大尊，还得问问她才行。”
杨开轻轻颔首。
狂狮身子一纵，朝古树上方窜去，不大一会便消失了身影。
杨开站在原地等待着，身旁尽是一些实力强横的妖兽，围绕着他打着转，宛若一个不速之客，颇不受人待见。
不过他早有心理准备。
头顶上忽然传来一阵声响，与此同时，好几道不俗的身影落到了树干上，居高临下地服侍着杨开，眼眸里尽是戏谑的神色。
听到动静，杨开抬头望去，不禁眼帘一缩。
那是几位已经化形的妖族强者，如狂狮一般，穿着简陋，尽显自己的野性本色，而且他们多多少少也还保留了一些兽身的痕迹。
左边的那个中年男子，背后还有一根毛茸茸的尾巴，国字脸，鬃毛满腮，双目不怒自威，看那形态真身应该是一只猿。
右边一个女子，体型婀娜多姿，雪白修长的大腿和平坦的小腹暴露在空气中，嘴角边一颗小虎牙，闪烁着阵阵寒光，额头的两边，还有两只小巧可爱的猫耳，真身也不知是虎还是猫。
杨开看得啧啧称奇。
他们站在那树干上，只是在观察杨开，似乎也没有为难他的意思，一个个沉默不语，那长着猫耳的女子还表现出一副相当感兴趣的神色，嘴里喃喃地嘀咕着，小虎牙显得愈发精致。
眼神碰撞在一起，杨开轻轻颔首示意，那几个妖族强者都轻轻地抿嘴冷笑。
蓦然间，一声惨叫从古树的上方传了过来，听到这个叫声，杨开眉头一皱。
因为这声音分明是领着他来到此处的狂狮喊出来的，似乎被人狠狠地打了一顿般，正从上方跌落下来。
伴随着一阵劈里啪啦的声响，狂狮那魁梧至极的身子砸断了无数枝叶，在杨开的注视中重重地落到地面，直接将地面砸出一个大坑。
如果是，我现在就送你上路！” 一声娇喝忽然从上方传来，伴随着娇喝声，一道七彩缤纷的华光忽然在杨开的面前闪了下，旋即，一道靓影诡异地出现，这靓影静静地悬浮在半空中，口上虽然在训斥狂狮，那双美眸却紧盯着杨开，冷若刀锋。 (未完待续。

Chapter 808 - Thunder Tree Palace
After some brief interaction, Yang Kai understood that although this Kuang Shi had achieved a high degree of sentience, like many of the Monster Race, he still mainly relied on his instincts.
After all, having evolved from Monster Beasts, this was understandable.
This kind of person showed everything they were thinking on their face and would change between happy and angry in an instant. If they felt that you were a good person, they would open up to you and trust you, if you weren’t pleasing to the eye though, they would not hesitate to attack.
Yang Kai actually felt that dealing with this kind of person was quite interesting.
So when he faced Kuang Shi, he didn’t try to put up any kind of front.
“Good, I’ll lead you to the Thunder Tree Palace, but whether Great Senior will see you is not something I can guarantee,” Kuang Shi hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing.
“Many thanks,” Yang Kai sighed with relief and knew that it was the approval of the other party.
Thunder Tree Palace… Although Yang Kai wasn’t familiar with this place, he simply assumed it was where the Monster Race Great Senior lived.
It was an imposing sounding name.
After agreeing to lead Yang Kai, Kuang Shi didn’t waste any time and immediately set off. Along the way he constantly warned Yang Kai to not play any tricks otherwise he would make him suffer.
Each time the subject came up, Yang Kai would promise to not cause trouble.
It wasn’t until now that Yang Kai realized just how vast the Beast Sea Jungle was, and as he flew forward he saw tens of thousands of Monster Beasts living here, from newborn cubs to the Monster Race masters that had achieved human form.
There were only a few Monster Race gatherings of this size throughout the entire Monster Domain and each one had their own Great Senior assuming command.
The Human Territory, Monster Domain, and Demon Land, were not equal in size. The Human Territory was the most extensive, followed by the Demon Land, then finally the Monster Domain.
This Beast Sea Jungle was a whole one-tenth of the entire Monster Domain.
If Yang Kai wanted to travel to Thunder Tree Palace from here, it would take at least three days.
Three days one way meant a six day round trip. While this wasn’t a short amount of time but it also wasn’t too long, so Yang Kai didn’t rush, calmly flying forward, following behind Kuang Shi as he appreciated to sights of the Beast Sea Jungle.
Under his Divine Sense’s exploration, Yang Kai discovered numerous types of rare ores, spirit grass, and spirit medicines which were simply growing wildly in the jungle, no one even attempting to mine or harvest them. Occasionally, some Monster Beasts would directly eat some of the spirit herbs like a cow chewing on grass. Seeing this, Yang Kai felt an impulse to spit blood.
If he could get his hands on these materials and refine them into pills, their efficacies could be multiplied several times over compared to simple swallowing them.
However, Yang Kai knew this was not the time to pursue such matters and simply praised the richness of the Beast Sea Jungle instead.
Of course, the only one around to share these words of praise with was Kuang Shi. After traveling together for a day, Kuang Shi discovered that this human was actually quite easy to get along with and began speaking more opening with him.
After Yang Kai gifted him an artifact that was quite suitable for him to use, Kuang Shi immediately became friendly with him.
Even if Yang Kai was to gift one of these to another, it would have to be someone very close to him.
However, Yang Kai had a number of lower grade artifacts on hand. When he had gone to explore the Ancient Ruins deep below the sea with An Ling’er last time, he had collected quite a few, so giving one away here to acquire some favour was no burden to him.
With a new artifact in hand and a few bottles of pills in his pocket, Kuang Shi was all smiles.
Now, when Yang Kai called him Brother Kuang or friend, Kuang Shi didn’t raise any objections.
As they traversed the Beast Sea Jungle, with Kuang Shi leading the way, although they were stopped every now and then by other Monster Race masters, upon hearing that Yang Kai was the new Holy Master of Nine Heavens Holy Land, all of them simply cast him curious glances before allowing them to pass.
Perhaps, to these Monster Race masters, Nine Heavens Holy Land disappearing was not something they wanted to see.
In the past, the old Holy Master had brought a lot of Crystal Stones, pills, and artifacts which had enriched their lives greatly, so after going two years without any of these, these Monster Race masters were quite anxious to see trade resume.
Three days later, a massive tree that towered higher than any he had ever seen before appeared before Yang Kai’s eyes.
This ancient tree was like a mountain, soaring into the sky, innumerable giant branches growing from its immense trunk, and its massive canopy casting a shadow more than a dozen kilometers in length. Yang Kai suddenly came to a halt.
When he first saw this ancient tree, he actually thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, but after carefully examining the scene in front of him, he realized it really was a tree.
It’s just that this tree was too enormous.
The world was truly filled with wonders. Compared to this giant tree, the Divine Tree in Yang Kai’s Black Book space was like a three-year-old baby.
Kuang Shi saw the shocked look on Yang Kai’s face and couldn’t help smiling smugly, “What you’re seeing is the Thunder Tree Palace, the place where Great Senior and the various members of my clan live. Great Senior’s residence is at the very top.”
“Why is it called Thunder Tree Palace?” Yang Kai asked with genuine curiosity.
Kuang Shi snorted gruffly and explained, “Thunder Tree Palace is actually a tens of thousands of years old Thunder Swallowing Wood. It is capable of naturally attracting Heavenly Thunder and refining it within its trunk. You must have heard that Great Senior’s original form is the noble Scarlet Flame Thunder Dragon. Great Senior’s cultivation requires the power of thunder and lightning so this is the perfect place for him to live.”
“It can attract the power of thunder and lightning?” Yang Kai was shocked, “If that’s so, how can others live there?”
“Great Senior’s methods are not something you can comprehend. The power of Heavenly Thunder is absorbed by Great Senior and will thus not affect others who live down below,” Kuang Shi proudly explained, “Of course, there are a few others among my clan who need the power of thunder and lightning to cultivate so Great Senior will give a portion to them.”
On the road here, Yang Kai learned that Kuang Shi deeply admired this Monster Race Great Senior, any time his name came up in conversation, Kuang Shi would show a look of worship.
So seeing the abundance of pride on his Kuang Shi’s face right now didn’t even faze Yang Kai anymore, simply nodding and replying, “So that’s how it is, your Great Senior is truly impressive.”
“Naturally,” Kuang Shi laughed heartily, “I wonder if I, Kuang Shi, will be able to reach Great Senior’s height in this life. Good, let’s not discuss this anymore, come with me, we’ll be there soon.”
Yang Kai nodded and quickly followed.
A short time later, the two arrived below the huge ancient tree.
As soon as arrived, from all directions, Yang Kai felt numerous Divine Senses probing him, like a raging torrent, washing over every inch of his body, seemingly want to inspect him inside and out.
Yang Kai’s expression remained calm, allowing them to scan him all they wanted, not putting up any kind of resistance, and simply staring around indifferently.
Beneath the ancient tree there were many Monster Beasts, each and every one of them possessing a sturdy body.
Purple-backed blood spider, golden-striped steel turtle, phosphorous green leopard, red-flowered pheasant… all sorts of rare Monster Beasts Yang Kai couldn’t identify had gathered around.
As if awoken by Yang Kai’s appearance, these Monster Beasts all stood up and glared towards him menacingly, their eyes darting back and forth, seemingly communicating with each other.
Yang Kai immediately understood that these Monster Beasts couldn’t be compared to the ones he encountered in the Beast Sea Jungle.
These Monster Beasts all undoubtedly possessed a high degree of intelligence, no worse than Kuang Shi, and their strengths were also not low, at minimum having reached the Seventh-Order.
Yang Kai secretly guessed that they might not be able to assume human form or were members of the Monster Race who simply preferred remaining in beast form.
Under the gaze of so many eyes, Yang Kai remained calm and composed, further attracting the attention of these Monster Beasts.
On the other hand, after arriving here, Kuang Shi became slightly more restrained, quickly greeting some of his acquaintances here before hurriedly saying to Yang Kai, “You wait here, I’m going to report to Senior Cai Die (Bright Butterfly); whether or not you can meet Great Senior will be up to her.”
Yang Kai gently nodded.
Kuang Shi then leapt up into the ancient tree, quickly disappearing into its branches.
Yang Kai stood in place like he was told while the surrounding powerful Monster Beasts eyed him like an uninvited guest, obviously not pleased with his appearance.
However, all of this was within Yang Kai’s expectations so he was psychologically prepared.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from above his head and a moment later several figures fell down onto some of the lower branches, each of them directing curious and condescending looks towards Yang Kai.
When he heard this movement, Yang Kai unconsciously lifted his eyes and couldn’t help feeling shocked.
Naturally, these figures were Monster Race masters who had achieved human form. Each of them was dressed similarly to Kuang Shi and gave off a wild aura, all of them still retaining some of their original beast characteristics.
The middle-aged man on the left had a furry tail behind him and a somewhat long neck and beady eyes. It was apparent his original form was some kind of ape.
The woman on the right had a graceful figure and snow white slender legs, her flat belly exposed to the air and some small, sharp tiger teeth showing from the side of her mouth. On top of her head there were also two fluffy triangular ears, indicating her original form was some kind of tiger or a cat.
Yang Kai couldn’t help staring curiously.
These Monster Race masters simply stood atop the nearby branches and observed Yang Kai, seemingly having no intention of causing trouble for him. Each and every one of them remained silent, only the young woman with the cat ears showing an extremely interested look, muttering under her breath, exposing her sharp teeth.
When he met eyes with any of them, Yang Kai would gently nod while the Monster Race masters would simply sneer lightly.
Suddenly, a pitiful yell came from high up in the ancient tree. When he heard this yell though, Yang Kai immediately frowned.
Because the one shouting was clearly Kuang Shi who had led him here. It seemed like he had been beaten ruthlessly and was now falling.
With a burst of snapping sounds, Kuang Shi’s burly body broke numerous branches and ripped off countless leaves before smashing into the ground in front of Yang Kai, directly opening up a large pit.
“You dare bring a human to my clan’s Thunder Tree Palace, Kuang Shi, are you tired of living? If so, I’ll send you to the afterlife right now!” A tender yet ice cold voice suddenly called out from above. In the next instant, in a flash of multi-coloured light, a pretty figure appeared in front of Yang Kai and gently floated mid-air. Although this woman was clearly reprimanding Kuang Shi, her beautiful eyes were actually fixed on Yang Kai, a sharp light flashing across them.
With this posted, it will still be 9 chapters a week. Though, there might have been some broken-hearted readers.

His talent was most definitely superb too.\nHe was such a young Saint-cloak World Spiritist, was capable of obtaining the Lightning Curse’s acknowledgement, and, ignoring his talent, he possessed such a scheming mind.\nAdding all of this together, even that mysterious existence started to have a whole new level of respect for Chu Feng.\n“Senior, this junior is only an ordinary martial cultivator.”\n“If you insist on knowing who I am, then I guess you can say that I am a friend of that girl,” Chu Feng pointed to Li Yue’er.\n“You decided to risk your life like that because you’re a friend of that girl? Brat, you’re acting modest. A brat like you is qualified to have this old man remember your name.”\n“Go ahead and tell me, what is your name?” that voice asked again. This time around, it was no longer omnidirectional, but instead coming precisely from that stone frog.\nChu Feng was able to personally witness that the stone frog on the stone statue actually opened its mouth to speak to him.\n“Junior is called Chu Feng. Senior, how shall I address you?” Chu Feng replied with his fist clasped.\n“You can call me Lord Frog,” said that so-called Lord Frog.\n“Junior Chu Feng greets Lord Frog,” Chu Feng bowed respectfully.\n“Brat, you’re quite intelligent. That said, since you’ve obtained the Lightning Curse’s acknowledgement, if you don't seize the opportunity to train right away, the power of the Lightning Curse will disperse,” said Lord Frog.\n“In that case, Lord Frog, this junior will attempt to make a breakthrough,” Chu Feng said.\n“Do it quickly. Don’t miss this opportunity,” Lord Frog waved his hand.\nSoon, Chu Feng sat down cross-legged and began to attempt his breakthrough.\nThat so-called Lord Frog possessed strength far surpassing Chu Feng. With the situation being like that, Chu Feng was not afraid that Lord Frog would attempt to harm him. After all, had he wanted to harm him, he would not be able to guard against him.\nOutside the Li Heavenly Clan’s Ancestral Formation. The Li Heavenly Clansmen all had pretty decent expressions on their faces.\nThe unstable Li Heavenly Clan’s Ancestral Formation had been stabilized.\n“That brat from the Chu Heavenly Clan is truly quite capable,” Berserker Li praised.\n“He is Chu Xuanyuan’s son, after all,” the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief said indifferently.\nHowever, those words of his revealed that he had greatly acknowledged Chu Feng.\n“Didn’t the rumors say that Chu Feng was incapable of martial cultivation? How could he mature to such a state?” Li Taiyi spoke with a puzzled expression.\n“Perhaps that was done deliberately by Chu Xuanyuan. Or perhaps it was done deliberately by the Chu Heavenly Clan,” the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief said.\n“Chu Heavenly Clan? Wasn’t their attitude toward Chu Feng and Chu Xuanyuan back then…”\nLi Taiyi and many of the other elders present all revealed confused expressions.\nIn their eyes, the Chu Heavenly Clan was composed of nothing more than a bunch of fools. The only people within the Chu Heavenly Clan worthy of respect and reverence were Chu Hanxian and Chu Xuanyuan. And now, Chu Feng had been added to the list too.\n“Back then, the Starfield Master Realm had eyed them covetously. If it was our clan that was placed in such a situation, how are we to preserve our geniuses?” the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief. asked\n“This… could it be, they really deliberately concealed the fact that Chu Feng could cultivate?”\nThe Li Heavenly Clansmen came to a sudden realization. At the same time, they felt greater disbelief.\n“Only the Chu Heavenly Clan knows what the truth really is.”\n“However, none of that matters anymore. What matters is that even if we ignore Chu Xuanyuan, because of the emergence of Chu Feng, the entire Ancestral Martial Starfield will likely think highly of the Chu Heavenly Clan,” said the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief.\n“In the case, Lord Clan Chief, does that mean that our clan can only coexist peacefully with the Chu Heavenly Clan even if the Upper Realm Gate opens completely?” Li Taiyi asked.\n“What else can we do apart from coexisting peacefully? Didn’t you and Ruochu mention that Chu Feng was supported by Utmost Exalted-level experts?” asked the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief.\n“Regarding that… I am uncertain if they are Utmost Exalted experts or not. Furthermore, those two individuals have already left. We also do not know what their relationship with Chu Feng is exactly. That is why, earlier, this subordinate…” Li Taiyi’s expression turned ugly.\nHe and Li Ruochu had mentioned what had happened in the Wuma Heavenly Clan’s remnant to the Li Heavenly Clan.\nThus, his decision to deliberately make things difficult for Chu Feng could be said to be an intentional violation of the warning he had given to others. As such, he would naturally feel guilty.\nFearing that the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief would punish Li Taiyi, many people spoke to plead for him. Even Berserker Li spoke out.\nTo the crowd’s surprise, the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief did not punish Li Taiyi. Instead, he sighed. “Regardless of whether those two mysterious women might be Chu Feng’s backers or not, we cannot make an enemy out of the Chu Heavenly Clan.”\n“Ruochu, after Chu Feng exits the grand formation, accompany me, together with Chu Feng, in proceeding to the Chu Heavenly Clan.”\n“It's time for us to wind up the grudges between our clan and the Chu Heavenly Clan,” the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief said to Li Ruochu.\nOnce he said those words, the crowd all came to a realization that the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief was planning to reconcile with the Li Heavenly Clan. He was planning to personally go to the Chu Heavenly Clan to show his good faith.\nIf Dragon King Li did this earlier, people might be confused by his decision. However, they were all able to understand his decision now.\nWith the Chu Heavenly Clan having Chu Feng, it would naturally be best for their Li Heavenly Clan not to make an enemy out of them.\nCompared to the others, Li Ruochu was much more cheerful after hearing their Lord Clan Chief’s decision. After all, she had advocated to not make an enemy out of the Chu Heavenly Clan from the very start.\n“Lord Clan Chief, Elder Taiyi should accompany us too,” as Li Ruochu said those words, she deliberately took a glance at Li Taiyi.\nHe knew very well that the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief was going to the Chu Heavenly Clan to reconcile with them, whereas Li Ruochu was accompanying him purely because of her friendship with Chu Feng.\nShould he accompany them too, it would not be that simple. He would naturally have to apologize to the Chu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief.\nAfter all, he had nearly killed him in the Wuma Heavenly Clan’s remnant.\n“Right. Taiyi, you must go as well,” the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief looked to Li Taiyi. His gaze was very threatening.\nSeeing that gaze, Li Taiyi immediately started to shiver with fear. Even if he was thoroughly unwilling, he would have no choice but to brace himself and bow respectfully to answer, “Yes, Milord.” “Rumble~~~”\nSuddenly, thunder sounded from the ninth heaven.\nThe Li Heavenly Clansmen’s expressions immediately changed upon hearing the thunder and witnessing the lightning.\nWhenever a Heavenly Bloodline possessor made a breakthrough, they would give rise to tribulation lightning. This was a very common sight in the Li Heavenly Clan."

第三千八百一十八章
那位神秘存在之所以如此惊讶，乃是因他刚刚观察楚枫的时候，虽然使用了特殊的观察手段，可是使用的却很隐秘。
可就是如此隐秘的手段，还是被楚枫捕捉到了它的位置，这说明…楚枫早有准备，否则不可能做到这一步。
这让意识到，楚枫这个小鬼，绝对不是一般的小辈，心思之缜密，倒更像是一个活了多年的老妖怪。
况且，楚枫还如此轻易的，便得到了那雷咒的认可。
一个如此年轻的圣袍界灵师，一个可以轻易得到雷咒认可的人，并且抛开天赋不谈，心思竟也如此缜密。
这种种叠加在一起，连这位神秘的存在，对楚枫也是彻底的刮目相看。
“前辈，晚辈只是一个普通的修武者罢了。”
“若非要问，那就是我这个丫头，有些交情。” 楚枫指着阵眼内的黎月儿说道。
“有些交情，便冒如此风险嘛，你这小鬼，倒是谦虚，你这样的小鬼，有资格让老夫记住你。” “说吧，你叫什么名字？”
那声音再度响起，只不过这一次，这个声音不再是没有方向。 此时，这声音的方向，不仅有了方向，且正是从那石蛙的口中传来。
楚枫亲眼所见，那石像一般的石蛙，竟然开口说话了。
“晚辈楚枫，敢问前辈，该如何称呼？” 楚枫抱拳问道。
“叫我蛙大人便好。” 那所谓的蛙大人说道。
“晚辈楚枫，拜见蛙大人。” 楚枫施以拜见大礼。
“你这小鬼，倒是聪明，不过你既得到了雷咒的认可，若不抓紧修炼，那雷咒的力量，也会散去吧？” 蛙大人说道。
“那蛙大人，晚辈便尝试突破了。” 楚枫说道。
“快一点吧，莫要错过时机。” 那蛙大人摆了摆手。
随后，楚枫便直接盘膝而坐，尝试修炼突破。
那个所谓的蛙大人，实力远在自己之上，这种情况下，楚枫反而不担心它会害自己，毕竟对方若是想害自己，楚枫就算有所防备，也是没用的。
黎氏祖之阵之外，黎氏天族的族人，脸上的情绪都还不错。
原来是原本骚动不安的黎氏祖之阵，此刻竟然稳定了下来。
“楚氏天族的这个小子，还真是有本事。”
“毕竟是楚轩辕的儿子。” 黎氏天族族长淡淡的说道。
可只是这一句话，却对楚枫有了极大的认可。
“可不是传闻，楚枫无法修武，怎么就成长到了这种地步？”
黎太乙一脸不解。 “也许是楚轩辕故意做的，也可能是楚氏天族故意做的。” 黎氏天族族长说道。
“楚氏天族？
黎太乙以及在场的不少长老，都是面露不解之色。
在他们眼中，楚氏天族就是一群蠢货，唯一值得可敬的，也就楚翰仙，楚轩辕，现在倒是还可以多一个楚枫。
“当年星域主界虎视眈眈，换做是我族，想保留天才，又当如何呢？”
黎氏天族族长问道。 “这……难道说，真的是故意的？”
黎氏天族众人，恍然大悟，但同时仍旧感觉难以置信。
“到底如何，只有楚氏天族自己心里清楚。”
“但已经不重要了，重要的是，就算不谈那楚轩辕，可出了这样一个楚枫，怕是整个祖武星域，所有人都会响起楚氏天族这个家族。” 黎氏天族族长说道。
“那族长大人，就算上界之门彻底开启，我族也只能与楚氏天族，和平相处了？” 黎太乙问道。
“你和若初不是说，楚枫身后有至尊境强者撑腰吗？” 黎氏天族族长问道。
“这个…也不能确定是不是至尊，而且那两位毕竟已经走了，所以属下刚刚才……”黎太乙脸色变得难看起来。
他的确和黎若初，一同向黎氏天族讲述过，当初在巫马天族遗迹内发生的事。
所以他今日刁难楚枫，可以说是明知故犯，他自然心虚。
此时，还怕族长大人，惩罚黎太乙，也有不少人开口求情，就连黎氏战狂都是开口了。
不过令所有人没有想到的是，黎氏天族族长，竟没有难为黎太乙，而是叹道：“不管那两个神秘的女子，会不会守护楚枫，都不能与楚氏天族为敌了。”
“若初，待着楚枫回来，你与我随楚枫，一同去一趟楚氏天族吧。”
“我族与楚氏天族之间的恩怨，也是时候做个了结啦。” 黎氏天族族长对黎若初说道。
而他此话一出，所有人都明白，黎氏天族族长，是打算与楚氏天族和解，他亲自前去，便是代表着诚意。
若是早些时日，黎氏龙王这样做，也许还有人不解，但现在他们都能理解了。
楚氏天族，有这样一个楚枫，他黎氏天族，自然还是不要与其为敌的好。
相比于其他人，对于族长大人这个决定，黎若初则是更为高兴，毕竟从一开始，她就是主张，不要与楚氏天族为敌的人。
“族长大人，太乙长老，也当同行。” 说此话的同时，黎若初特意看了黎太乙一眼。
此时，黎太乙心情很是不爽，他很清楚，黎氏天族族长去，是谈和解，黎若初去，纯粹是因为黎若初与楚枫有交情。
而他去的话，可就没那么简单了，他去…自然是向楚氏天族族长道歉的。
毕竟当日，在巫马天族的遗迹内，他可是差一点，就杀了楚氏天族族长。
“对，太乙，你也要去。” 黎氏天族族长看向了黎太乙，目光中满是威胁之色。
看着这样的目光，黎太乙顿时吓得瑟瑟发抖，就算一万个不愿意，此时也只能硬着头皮的施以大礼，说出两个字：“遵命。”
忽然，九天之上，忽然传来雷鸣之音。
见此一幕，黎氏天族的族人，都是神色一动。
天级血脉者，只要有人突破，便会引来雷劫，这在黎氏天族来说，乃是常见之事。

Chapter 3518 - Chu Feng’s Breakthrough
The reason why the mysterious existence was so shocked was because he had used his special observation method very secretively when he observed Chu Feng. Yet, even though he was so secretive, he had still exposed his location to him.
This meant that Chu Feng had been prepared to detect his location. Otherwise, he couldn’t have detected him.
This made him realize that this brat was definitely not an ordinary person of the younger generation. His meticulous mind resembled that of an old monster that had lived for many years.
Furthermore, Chu Feng had managed to so effortlessly obtain the acknowledgement of the Lightning Curse. His talent was most definitely superb too.
He was such a young Saint-cloak World Spiritist, was capable of obtaining the Lightning Curse’s acknowledgement, and, ignoring his talent, he possessed such a scheming mind.
Adding all of this together, even that mysterious existence started to have a whole new level of respect for Chu Feng.
“Senior, this junior is only an ordinary martial cultivator.”
“If you insist on knowing who I am, then I guess you can say that I am a friend of that girl,” Chu Feng pointed to Li Yue’er.
“You decided to risk your life like that because you’re a friend of that girl? Brat, you’re acting modest. A brat like you is qualified to have this old man remember your name.”
“Go ahead and tell me, what is your name?” that voice asked again. This time around, it was no longer omnidirectional, but instead coming precisely from that stone frog.
Chu Feng was able to personally witness that the stone frog on the stone statue actually opened its mouth to speak to him.
“Junior is called Chu Feng. Senior, how shall I address you?” Chu Feng replied with his fist clasped.
“You can call me Lord Frog,” said that so-called Lord Frog.
“Junior Chu Feng greets Lord Frog,” Chu Feng bowed respectfully.
“Brat, you’re quite intelligent. That said, since you’ve obtained the Lightning Curse’s acknowledgement, if you don't seize the opportunity to train right away, the power of the Lightning Curse will disperse,” said Lord Frog.
“In that case, Lord Frog, this junior will attempt to make a breakthrough,” Chu Feng said.
“Do it quickly. Don’t miss this opportunity,” Lord Frog waved his hand.
Soon, Chu Feng sat down cross-legged and began to attempt his breakthrough.
That so-called Lord Frog possessed strength far surpassing Chu Feng. With the situation being like that, Chu Feng was not afraid that Lord Frog would attempt to harm him. After all, had he wanted to harm him, he would not be able to guard against him.
Outside the Li Heavenly Clan’s Ancestral Formation. The Li Heavenly Clansmen all had pretty decent expressions on their faces.
The unstable Li Heavenly Clan’s Ancestral Formation had been stabilized.
“That brat from the Chu Heavenly Clan is truly quite capable,” Berserker Li praised.
“He is Chu Xuanyuan’s son, after all,” the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief said indifferently.
However, those words of his revealed that he had greatly acknowledged Chu Feng.
“Didn’t the rumors say that Chu Feng was incapable of martial cultivation? How could he mature to such a state?” Li Taiyi spoke with a puzzled expression.
“Perhaps that was done deliberately by Chu Xuanyuan. Or perhaps it was done deliberately by the Chu Heavenly Clan,” the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief said.
“Chu Heavenly Clan? Wasn’t their attitude toward Chu Feng and Chu Xuanyuan back then…”
Li Taiyi and many of the other elders present all revealed confused expressions.
In their eyes, the Chu Heavenly Clan was composed of nothing more than a bunch of fools. The only people within the Chu Heavenly Clan worthy of respect and reverence were Chu Hanxian and Chu Xuanyuan. And now, Chu Feng had been added to the list too.
“Back then, the Starfield Master Realm had eyed them covetously. If it was our clan that was placed in such a situation, how are we to preserve our geniuses?” the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief. asked

“However, none of that matters anymore. What matters is that even if we ignore Chu Xuanyuan, because of the emergence of Chu Feng, the entire Ancestral Martial Starfield will likely think highly of the Chu Heavenly Clan,” said the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief.

“What else can we do apart from coexisting peacefully? Didn’t you and Ruochu mention that Chu Feng was supported by Utmost Exalted-level experts?” asked the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief.
“Regarding that… I am uncertain if they are Utmost Exalted experts or not. Furthermore, those two individuals have already left. We also do not know what their relationship with Chu Feng is exactly. That is why, earlier, this subordinate…” Li Taiyi’s expression turned ugly.
He and Li Ruochu had mentioned what had happened in the Wuma Heavenly Clan’s remnant to the Li Heavenly Clan.
Thus, his decision to deliberately make things difficult for Chu Feng could be said to be an intentional violation of the warning he had given to others. As such, he would naturally feel guilty.
Fearing that the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief would punish Li Taiyi, many people spoke to plead for him. Even Berserker Li spoke out.
To the crowd’s surprise, the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief did not punish Li Taiyi. Instead, he sighed. “Regardless of whether those two mysterious women might be Chu Feng’s backers or not, we cannot make an enemy out of the Chu Heavenly Clan.”
“Ruochu, after Chu Feng exits the grand formation, accompany me, together with Chu Feng, in proceeding to the Chu Heavenly Clan.”
“It's time for us to wind up the grudges between our clan and the Chu Heavenly Clan,” the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief said to Li Ruochu.
Once he said those words, the crowd all came to a realization that the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief was planning to reconcile with the Li Heavenly Clan. He was planning to personally go to the Chu Heavenly Clan to show his good faith.
If Dragon King Li did this earlier, people might be confused by his decision. However, they were all able to understand his decision now.
With the Chu Heavenly Clan having Chu Feng, it would naturally be best for their Li Heavenly Clan not to make an enemy out of them.
Compared to the others, Li Ruochu was much more cheerful after hearing their Lord Clan Chief’s decision. After all, she had advocated to not make an enemy out of the Chu Heavenly Clan from the very start.
“Lord Clan Chief, Elder Taiyi should accompany us too,” as Li Ruochu said those words, she deliberately took a glance at Li Taiyi.
He knew very well that the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief was going to the Chu Heavenly Clan to reconcile with them, whereas Li Ruochu was accompanying him purely because of her friendship with Chu Feng.
Should he accompany them too, it would not be that simple. He would naturally have to apologize to the Chu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief.
After all, he had nearly killed him in the Wuma Heavenly Clan’s remnant.
“Right. Taiyi, you must go as well,” the Li Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief looked to Li Taiyi. His gaze was very threatening.
Seeing that gaze, Li Taiyi immediately started to shiver with fear. Even if he was thoroughly unwilling, he would have no choice but to brace himself and bow respectfully to answer, “Yes, Milord.” “Rumble~~~”
Suddenly, thunder sounded from the ninth heaven.
The Li Heavenly Clansmen’s expressions immediately changed upon hearing the thunder and witnessing the lightning.
Whenever a Heavenly Bloodline possessor made a breakthrough, they would give rise to tribulation lightning. This was a very common sight in the Li Heavenly Clan.

Although that was still a huge amount, Luo Yue was willing to give them a loan. Moreover, to a country, 30 billion Luo Yue dollars was an acceptable amount.\nOnce one country paid it, the other countries too felt that this much was nothing. If Luo Yue fired any missile onto their land, they would end up losing more than 30 billion. So what if all the countries in the world could join together to annihilate Luo Yue - their losses would be gone forever.\nOther than the US, almost all 30 countries which participated in the second invasion agreed to Luo Yue's compensation plan.\nThe Union didn't expect that while it was still coming up with a plan, most of the consequences of the war would have already been resolved through private negotiation.\nSeeing this, everyone knew that Luo Yue wasn't really crazy and didn't really want a third world war, they just wanted money. As for the US, it was impossible to mediate anything with just some money.\nIts current president became another tragedy, as although he wasn't impeached by the people, he did have to resign after the second failed war.\nThe US had to cope with mass protests and riots once again. Some people disagreed with the second invasion of Luo Yue, while others asked for a third one.\nNegotiations between Luo Yue and the new US President, President Darcy, soon began. Darcy didn't want to meddle around with the issue, as he had just come to power and wanted to recover the US economy and its stability.\nSo the two reached a consensus. The US would compensate Luo Yue 200 billion Luo Yue dollars for the losses caused by the war, 50 billion Luo Yue dollars for the negative impact it had had on their civilians' mental health, and another 100 billion to get back all the captives. Altogether, the US compensated Luo Yue with 350 billion Luo Yue dollars.\nWith such a huge compensation, even if spread over multiple payments, the US sunk into a huge economic downwards spiral. Furthermore, the US had actually lost much more than that. Their pacific fleet had been crippled, and the losses to their ground and air forces were immeasurable.\nAlthough they could recover with time, the Pacific was a place where power mattered. Now that their pacific fleet had been 80% destroyed in the war, the UK, France, and even Japan started advancing their fleets all over the Pacific. Perhaps this was America's biggest loss.\nBecause of Luo Yue's power, the Southeast Asian Alliance could do nothing about it either, and so Luo Yue started stationing power at the Malacca Strait. …\nSister Yan didn't feel that watching Ye Mo forge artefacts was boring at all. In fact, she was dazed by it. She didn't understand how Ye Mo could pull out a sword and colorful stone out of nowhere.\nThen suddenly, Ye Mo shot out fire from his palm, and the sword floated in the air.\nShe cultivated ancient martial arts, sure, but what Ye Mo was doing now exceeded the limits of ancient martial arts. She really wanted to know what Ye Mo must have gone through.\nBecause he had gotten stronger and thanks to the Five Element Stone, Ye Mo managed to refine a damaged top grade flying sword into an upper top grade flying sword. Although it hadn't reached the extreme grade, that wasn't due to the materials, but due to the fact that Ye Mo wasn't a blacksmith and that his power was a little low.\nThe flying sword made a crisp howl and Ye Mo got up with satisfaction.\n\"You-\" Sister Yan said one word when Ye Mo suddenly pulled her behind him.\nSister Yan was shook and also realized how hungry she was - she didn't even know how long she had been watching Ye Mo refine the weapon.\nThe room darkened, and Ye Mo questioned, \"Who are you?\"\nHearing this, Sister Yan realized that two more people had appeared in the room. If Ye Mo hadn't said anything though, she wouldn't have noticed them at all, even though they were standing under the window.\n\"You have no right to ask who we are, did you take the three stones from Meng Kui?\" the tall and skinny person suddenly asked, his voice sounding very cold.\nSister Yan subconsciously grabbed Ye Mo's clothes as she began to worry. She was already at the yellow level middle stage, yet she didn't even know when those two had come in. No wonder Ye Mo said she was too weak.\nBut level 3 was way too puny in front of Ye Mo, who didn't understand how they had come chasing him so quickly.\nAs Ye Mo spread his spirit sense out even further, he didn't find Meng Kui. It seemed the man was dead. Soon, Ye Mo found a small fishing boat on the side of the cruiser, and he figured they must have come from there.\nA white stone suddenly appeared in Ye Mo's hand as he asked, \"Do you mean this stone?\"\n\"How many did you take?\" the black shadowy figure went on to ask, and a gun appeared in its hand.\nSister Yan saw the gun under the moonlight and nervously pulled Ye Mo back, saying, \"They have guns.\"\nYe Mo patted her, signaling her to not worry, and replied to the men, \"I took three, and I have quite a few more of these myself, you know?\" Hearing this, the man put his hand back down.\nYe Mo sneered. If it wasn't for him wanting to find out how they knew about the spirit stones, he would've already killed them both.\n\"Where did you get the extra stones? Amd where are they now?\" the tall, skinny man asked.\n\"I'm a businessman, so if you take me to see your boss, perhaps I will trade them with him,\" Ye Mo said.\nYe Mo being so calm made the two suspicious. They didn't know what the reason for Ye Mo staying so calm was, but it was better for them to take him to their boss for now.\n\"Okay, follow us,\" the two men opened the door and said. The reason why Ye Mo didn't just kill the two and go to their boss himself was because he didn't want to alert him.\nSister Yan wanted to attack seeing that the two were going to take Ye Mo away, but Ye Mo signaled her not to worry. Sister Yan seemed to understand what Ye Mo was doing, and she had seen Ye Mo's means, so she believed that he had a reason for playing along.\nYe Mo gave her a bracelet and said, \"Wear this, I will be back soon.\"\nAlthough she was really very hungry, she wasn't really of the mind to go eat anything after seeing Ye Mo get taken away by two strangers.\nThe cruiser having let those people come up from the fishing boat meant that they were connected, but Ye Mo wasn't worried about Sister Yan. He had scanned the entire ship, and there was no one who could threaten her.\nWhen Ye Mo came to the 'fishing boat', he realized that it wasn't a mere fishing boat but a modified one for military use. There were about 30 to 40 people on board, all armed with guns.\nThe two took Ye Mo to a simple room, where they pointed at Ye Mo and said, \"The thing is on him, we saw it. However, he says he still has a lot of them and wants to do business, so I brought him over.\"\nThen, the two positioned themselves by the door to block Ye Mo's exit path.\nThere were four people in the room, and when the yellow-skinned middle-aged man among them heard this, he laughed."

第六百八十章
就算是丢了导弹过来，难道你会去对洛月宣战吗？
如果是别的国家，有联纵合会去制裁，可是洛月，制裁了两次都是被制裁。
三百亿洛元虽然是巨款，但是人家洛月可以放国贷，你可以贷款。 而且相对一个国家来说，三百亿洛元还是可以出的起的，花钱消灾而已。
一旦有一个国家带头出了这个钱，那么其余的国家都觉得这点钱也不算是什么，免得被洛月这个疯子惦记。 只要任何一颗导弹落在他们的地盘上，那么他们的损失多少个三百亿都不止了。
所以除了米国之外，其余将近三十个参与了第二次联军的国家几乎都同意了洛月的赔款计划。
联纵合会没有想到，他们的会议还在打屁，而洛月战争的后遗症已经被去了大半。
看样子洛月作出那些举动，也不是真的疯了想要第三次世界大战，他们只是要钱而已。 至于米国。
特纳成为肯拉奥之后的另外一个悲剧，他虽然不是被民众倒下去的，可是联军的二次战争失败。 他不得不引咎辞职。
一些人反对米国发动了第二次联军入侵洛月的战争，还有一些人开始要求继续第三次入侵洛月，要求全世界的国家都对洛月发动战争，为米国助威。
和洛月的谈判在米国新任总统达尔希的主持下展开。 达尔希似乎也不想就这件事继续纠缠。 他刚刚上任，他需要尽快恢复米国的经济和稳定。
最后双方达成一致，米国赔偿洛月的战争损失两千亿洛元，民众精神损失五百亿洛元，附加一千亿洛元赎回被俘虏的米国士兵三十六万。
最后米国一共赔偿洛月的经济损失三千五百亿洛元。 如此多的赔款，就算是分期赔款，就算是米国经济再强大也陷入了漩涡。
也许这些需要一些时间就可以慢慢恢复，哪怕是十年二十年，可是太平洋是一个实力说话的地方。 米国的太平洋舰队在洛月战争中几乎被插掉了八成，而接下来英国法国甚至倭国也开始将自己的舰队缓缓驶向太平洋。 也许这才是米国最大的损失。
东南亚联盟因为洛月的强大，而且洛月就在东南亚国家的头顶，所以对洛月提出他们利用马六甲海峡帮助了联军的事情毫无办法。
殷倾颜丝毫不觉得叶默炼器很无聊，她甚至已经呆住了，她不知道叶默是从什么地方摸出来一把尺多的宝剑。
如果说这些只是让殷倾颜惊讶和不解的话，那么叶默手里突然打出来的火焰，和那把宝剑可以悬浮在叶默的面前变换已经让她呆住了。
她修炼的是古武。 可是叶默现在做的事情都超出了古武的范围，这让她很是疑惑叶默到底遇见了什么事情了。
因为修为的提高，加上五行石的缘故，叶默硬是将一把损伤的上品飞剑炼制成了一把顶级上品飞剑法器。 虽然还不是极品，但那不是材料的缘故，而是叶默本身不是炼器师。
飞剑在叶默的神识下发出一声清越的鸣叫，叶默很是满意的站了起来。
“你……”殷倾颜刚说了一个你字，叶默就伸手将她拉到了身后。
殷倾颜吃了一惊，这才感觉到了一些饥饿，她甚至不知道自己看叶默炼了多久了。
房间里面已经黑了下来，叶默却说道：“你们是什么人？”
如果不是叶默说话，她甚至都没有丝毫的觉察。 因为这两个人站在窗户下面，就好像两个影子一般。 “我们是什么人，轮不到你来问。
我只问一句话，孟奎手里的三颗石头是不是你拿了？” 窗户左边的瘦高人影突兀的发出一个声音，声音冷冰冰的犹如死人一般。
殷倾颜下意识的抓住了叶默的衣服，她心里甚至有些紧张起来，她已经是黄级中期的修为，竟然不知道这两个人是什么时候进来的，难怪叶默说她的修为太低了。
但三级异能在叶默面前来说实在是太渺小了点，叶默奇怪的是他是在船上和孟奎交易的，怎么这么快就被人追过来了？
叶默的神识立即就扫了出去，他没有扫到孟奎，看样子那个孟奎已经被灭口了。 很快叶默就发现了邮轮一侧的海面上多了一艘渔船，邮轮的下面还绑着一艘小艇，看样子这两个人是从渔船上面来的。
叶默的手里忽然出现了一颗乳白色的石头说道：“你说的是这种石头吗？”
“你一共拿了几颗？” 这黑影忽然再次问道，他的手里忽然多出了一把手枪。
就是殷倾颜在月光下都看见了这把手枪，她有些紧张的拉了拉叶默，“他们有手枪。”
当叶默的三颗说出来后，那名拿手枪的男子立即就要举起枪，但是听到叶默后半句后，他又将枪放了下去。
叶默心里冷笑，如果不是为了弄清楚这灵石的来历，他早就开杀了。
“你多余的石头从什么地方弄到的？ 现在在哪里？”
“我是做生意的，所以你们带我去见你们的老板，也许我会将石头交易给他。” 叶默毫不客气的说道。
叶默的镇定和若无其事，让这两人心里愈发的疑惑起来，他们不知道叶默的底气从什么地方来，但是叶默主动要求去见老板，那是最好不过的事情了。
两名男子忽然将叶默的房门打开说道。 之所以不杀了这两人直接过去，那是叶默不想让对方警觉。
看见叶默要跟这两个身份不明的人走，虽然不知道叶默为什么不反抗，但是殷倾颜却立即要动手，无论如何，她不能让这两人将叶默带走。 叶默再次示意殷倾颜不要担心，殷倾颜似乎有些明白叶默的意思了，叶默炼器的手段她已经看见，她相信叶默这样做肯定有他的道理，而不是惧怕了这两人。
见殷倾颜还是一脸的担心，叶默拿出一个手链递给她说道：“这个戴上，等我一会就回来了。”
虽然很饥饿，可是叶默被两个陌生人带走，殷倾颜一点东西都吃不下去。
邮轮可以让小艇的人上来，可见他们和这邮轮上的人肯定有联系。 可是叶默却不担心殷倾颜，他的神识已经扫过，在这船上还没有能够威胁殷倾颜的存在。
小艇再次来到了渔船，当叶默来到渔船，然后神识铺开来后，才知道这哪里是渔船，根本就是一艘军舰改装的。 渔船上大约有三四十人，都是军队装备。
这两人将叶默带到一个简单的房间，瘦高个指了指叶默队里面的一人说道：“东西在他身上，我们已经看见。 他说他这种东西还有很多，想要过来交易，所以我就带他过来了。”
瘦高个说完，和另外一名男子站在了门边，显然是挡住了叶默的去路。
屋子里面已经有四个人，那名黄皮肤中年男子听了瘦高个的话，忽然哈哈大笑。

Chapter 680: The Chasing Fishing Boat
Chapter 680: The Chasing Fishing Boat Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
Soon, a bunch of countries started communications with Luo Yue in hopes of getting their forgiveness.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Luo Yue was very easy to talk to and only asked them to pay 30 billion Luo Yue dollars as compensation, and it would be fine. Although that was still a huge amount, Luo Yue was willing to give them a loan. Moreover, to a country, 30 billion Luo Yue dollars was an acceptable amount.
Once one country paid it, the other countries too felt that this much was nothing. If Luo Yue fired any missile onto their land, they would end up losing more than 30 billion. So what if all the countries in the world could join together to annihilate Luo Yue - their losses would be gone forever.
Other than the US, almost all 30 countries which participated in the second invasion agreed to Luo Yue's compensation plan.
The Union didn't expect that while it was still coming up with a plan, most of the consequences of the war would have already been resolved through private negotiation.
Seeing this, everyone knew that Luo Yue wasn't really crazy and didn't really want a third world war, they just wanted money. As for the US, it was impossible to mediate anything with just some money.
Its current president became another tragedy, as although he wasn't impeached by the people, he did have to resign after the second failed war.
The US had to cope with mass protests and riots once again. Some people disagreed with the second invasion of Luo Yue, while others asked for a third one.
Negotiations between Luo Yue and the new US President, President Darcy, soon began. Darcy didn't want to meddle around with the issue, as he had just come to power and wanted to recover the US economy and its stability.
So the two reached a consensus. The US would compensate Luo Yue 200 billion Luo Yue dollars for the losses caused by the war, 50 billion Luo Yue dollars for the negative impact it had had on their civilians' mental health, and another 100 billion to get back all the captives. Altogether, the US compensated Luo Yue with 350 billion Luo Yue dollars.
With such a huge compensation, even if spread over multiple payments, the US sunk into a huge economic downwards spiral. Furthermore, the US had actually lost much more than that. Their pacific fleet had been crippled, and the losses to their ground and air forces were immeasurable.
Although they could recover with time, the Pacific was a place where power mattered. Now that their pacific fleet had been 80% destroyed in the war, the UK, France, and even Japan started advancing their fleets all over the Pacific. Perhaps this was America's biggest loss.
Because of Luo Yue's power, the Southeast Asian Alliance could do nothing about it either, and so Luo Yue started stationing power at the Malacca Strait. …
Sister Yan didn't feel that watching Ye Mo forge artefacts was boring at all. In fact, she was dazed by it. She didn't understand how Ye Mo could pull out a sword and colorful stone out of nowhere.
Then suddenly, Ye Mo shot out fire from his palm, and the sword floated in the air.
She cultivated ancient martial arts, sure, but what Ye Mo was doing now exceeded the limits of ancient martial arts. She really wanted to know what Ye Mo must have gone through.
Because he had gotten stronger and thanks to the Five Element Stone, Ye Mo managed to refine a damaged top grade flying sword into an upper top grade flying sword. Although it hadn't reached the extreme grade, that wasn't due to the materials, but due to the fact that Ye Mo wasn't a blacksmith and that his power was a little low.
The flying sword made a crisp howl and Ye Mo got up with satisfaction.
"You-" Sister Yan said one word when Ye Mo suddenly pulled her behind him.
Sister Yan was shook and also realized how hungry she was - she didn't even know how long she had been watching Ye Mo refine the weapon.
The room darkened, and Ye Mo questioned, "Who are you?"
Hearing this, Sister Yan realized that two more people had appeared in the room. If Ye Mo hadn't said anything though, she wouldn't have noticed them at all, even though they were standing under the window.
"You have no right to ask who we are, did you take the three stones from Meng Kui?" the tall and skinny person suddenly asked, his voice sounding very cold.
Sister Yan subconsciously grabbed Ye Mo's clothes as she began to worry. She was already at the yellow level middle stage, yet she didn't even know when those two had come in. No wonder Ye Mo said she was too weak.
But level 3 was way too puny in front of Ye Mo, who didn't understand how they had come chasing him so quickly.
As Ye Mo spread his spirit sense out even further, he didn't find Meng Kui. It seemed the man was dead. Soon, Ye Mo found a small fishing boat on the side of the cruiser, and he figured they must have come from there.
A white stone suddenly appeared in Ye Mo's hand as he asked, "Do you mean this stone?"
"How many did you take?" the black shadowy figure went on to ask, and a gun appeared in its hand.
Sister Yan saw the gun under the moonlight and nervously pulled Ye Mo back, saying, "They have guns."
Ye Mo patted her, signaling her to not worry, and replied to the men, "I took three, and I have quite a few more of these myself, you know?" Hearing this, the man put his hand back down.
Ye Mo sneered. If it wasn't for him wanting to find out how they knew about the spirit stones, he would've already killed them both.
"Where did you get the extra stones? Amd where are they now?" the tall, skinny man asked.
"I'm a businessman, so if you take me to see your boss, perhaps I will trade them with him," Ye Mo said.
Ye Mo being so calm made the two suspicious. They didn't know what the reason for Ye Mo staying so calm was, but it was better for them to take him to their boss for now.
"Okay, follow us," the two men opened the door and said. The reason why Ye Mo didn't just kill the two and go to their boss himself was because he didn't want to alert him.
Sister Yan wanted to attack seeing that the two were going to take Ye Mo away, but Ye Mo signaled her not to worry. Sister Yan seemed to understand what Ye Mo was doing, and she had seen Ye Mo's means, so she believed that he had a reason for playing along.
Ye Mo gave her a bracelet and said, "Wear this, I will be back soon."
Although she was really very hungry, she wasn't really of the mind to go eat anything after seeing Ye Mo get taken away by two strangers.
The cruiser having let those people come up from the fishing boat meant that they were connected, but Ye Mo wasn't worried about Sister Yan. He had scanned the entire ship, and there was no one who could threaten her.
When Ye Mo came to the 'fishing boat', he realized that it wasn't a mere fishing boat but a modified one for military use. There were about 30 to 40 people on board, all armed with guns.
The two took Ye Mo to a simple room, where they pointed at Ye Mo and said, "The thing is on him, we saw it. However, he says he still has a lot of them and wants to do business, so I brought him over."
Then, the two positioned themselves by the door to block Ye Mo's exit path.
There were four people in the room, and when the yellow-skinned middle-aged man among them heard this, he laughed.

"value": "Chapter 141 – Xiaohu is like a tiger!\nChapter 141: Xiaohu is like a tiger!\nLu Qiji was a weird one in the dragon slayer department.\nAntisocial and icily arrogant, every word from her mouth was harsh and unfriendly. As if she’s a debt collector demanding payment and that everyone owes her dozens of pieces of gold.\nEven Chu Xun who follows her all the time had never received any special treatment, and her words to him remained cold. They never saw her speaking softly or even smiling at him.\nOf course, this is also the reason that although everyone is mentally stable would still be willing to have her as their classmates—-she’s not only prejudiced against one person instead looks at everyone with a scowl on her face, this is her personality and not because she thought everyone is a jerk.\nYou see, students who could enroll into Starry Sky have high tolerance and forgiveness.\nUsually during class, Lu Qiji rarely spoke. Instead she concentrated on listening to the teacher’s explanation or other students’ debate.\nBut today she showed her colours, jumped out against Li Muyang; in fact, everyone was not surprised at all.\nEveryone knew her least favorite was Li Muyang, they have had many conflicts at school before.\nThe fact that she did not instantly fire criticism at him already made people very surprised, now that she finally expressed herself, everyone finally felt reassured—-Lu Qiji was indeed still Lu Qiji.\nQuestioned by his own student, Yang Xiaohu did not look too well.\nHe is a teacher of Starry Sky, everything he said has been checked against countless data and after countless hours of research. You guys contradicted him in public, is that not disrespectful to the teacher?\nAlthough he was refuted countless number of times before in his life.\nKong Li and Xiahou Qianbai also both commonly refute him.\nSeeing Lu Qiji standing up and refuting Li Muyang, no, supporting his point of view, he could not help but get excited.\nThere is a student willing to stand on my side. I am not alone.\nHe hurriedly walked in front of Lu Qiji and asked with a smile: “Student Lu Qiji, what did you mean?”\n“Nothing.” Lu Qiji said.\n“——-” The smile on Yang Xiaoh’s face reduced slightly, then said encouragingly: “Student Lu Qiji, if you have any thoughts on this subject, you can tell us frankly. The more the truth is debated the clearer it becomes. No matter whether it’s questioning teacher’s arguments or supporting teacher’s point of view—-Teacher welcomes feedback. I am an open-minded teacher, I am happy to discuss with my students. ”\n“Dragons are divine beings, this is beyond doubt.” Lu Qiji said in a cold voice: “Low-ranking dragons have half the power of immortals and high-ranking dragons are no different to divine beings. Some are even more powerful than divine beings.”\nYang Xiaohu was even more excited, saying: “Student Lu Qiji do you have any basis for what you just said?”\n“[The Dragon Chronicles] have recorded all sorts of supernatural powers and the destructive force of dragons, is it something that ordinary beasts could compete with? Could a powerful tiger swallow a town? Could the most powerful lion crush a towering mountain with its paw? Also wolves—-they are inferior animals, ants that could be pressed dead with a finger, can they be compared to dragons? ”\nYang Xiaohu nodded repeatedly in response, saying: “Student Qiji is right—-then why did you say ‘thief shouting ‘catch the thief’’?”\n“Some people are deliberately trying to misrepresent the abilities of the dragon race, ignoring their dangerous and threatening nature—–just what motives does such a person have?” Lu Qiji shot a glare at Li Muyang.\nLi Muyang completely ignored Lu Qiji, looked at Tie Muxin with a smile and said: “I believe that Tie Muxin classmate meant no harm. He was belittling the dragon, because he believes in the strength of humans. He believes that humans can triumph no matter what, the powerful human elites can slay dragons. Dragon slayer, this is the dream of millions of people, it’s also my childhood dream—-we all hoped that our ambition does not die, our dreams never destroyed. We still have a chance to slay a dragon. Is this not the case, Tie Muxin classmate?”\n“That’s right.” Tie Muxin said in a coarse voice. He is the representative of the theory that humans are superior; in his mind, humans are the most powerful, they are invincible. This point of view and the fact that he came from the desert, a very barren and harsh environment, are closely linked. In his opinion, there is nothing that human cannot do. Whether it’s nature or dragons, they can all be overcame. If dragons are divine beings, then, tens of thousands of years ago, the dragon slayer heroes—-just who were they?\nTherefore, just as Lu Qiji stood up and refuted Li Muyang, and also questioned the motive of those who belittled the danger and threat of dragons, his face also turned quite embarrassed.\nIs she not intentionally taking a different view?\nFortunately, Li Muyang classmate was willing to stand up and speak for me; he really is a good person.\n“I just think humans can achieve anything, humans who cultivate should be able to slay dragons. This is documented in the history books, Red Nujiang can also attest to this fact. I don’t have any selfish motives, I’m just voicing my opinion—-”\nTie Muxin loudly beat his strong chest, growled at Lu Qiji: “what motive would I have? What can I plot? Do you think I’m a dragon—–Look, am I a dragon? Am I a dragon?”\n“Retard.” Lu Qiji swept a cold glance over Tie Muxin and said disdainfully.\nFaced with such a mentally deficient opponent, she had no mind of even saying an extra word to him.\n“What did you say?” Tie Muxin was fuming with rage, his long hair messily draped over his shoulder, the Starry Sky robe on his body making loud hissing sounds.\nEarth-yellow air enveloped around his body, like something was being scorched. Both his hand clenched into a fist, both fists flashed with yellow light, as though they were ready and waiting for action, and extremely dangerous.\nThey could be killed,, but not be humiliated. Desert people attach great importance to their intelligence.\nWho dare scold them ‘idiot’, is the same as spitting in their face in public——no, hundred and thousand times more serious than spitting.\nCha!\nWith the lash of his sword, a rainbow flashed across, the sword radiating a biting cold and majestic aura. Chu Xun drew his sword up and before everyone knew, he was already standing before Lu Qiji and said in an unfriendly tone: “Tie Muxin, you’ve been used by a vile person yet you still don’t realised, you even dared to attack Lu Qiji, if you’re not an idiot, then what are you?——If you want to attack Qiji, then you have to deal with me first.”\nAlso, no one knew where did Chu Xun found so many good sword, a short while ago he gifted Lin Canghai a top-graded sword but now he has another one.\n“Then fight, do you think I’m afraid of you?”\n“Then let me see you what skills you desert savages have.”\nA battle was about to erupt!\nYang Xiaohu glanced at Lin Canghai, only to find him watching everything happening with a slight smile on his face and without any intention of obstructing or dissuading like last time.\nLu Qiji sat expressionless in the same place, looking as though she has nothing to do with this at all.\nWhile Li Muyang said to teacher Yang anxiously: “Teacher Yang, hurry do something, can’t let him bully Tie Muxin classmate——he didn’t do anything wrong.”\n“———-” Yang Xiaohu was on the verge of tears. Oh, my young master, can you say a few less words? Pouring oil onto the fire—–are you not afraid of burning yourself?\nAs Tie Muxin listened to Li Muyang’s words, he was deeply touched, he thought to himself: Li Muyang is such a good friend, good brother, even at this time he was still worried about me being bullied. Chu Xun and Lu Qiji have devious motives, saying that I’m being used by a vile person without knowing——who are the vile people, it’s obvious.\nTie Muxin shouted: “Brother Muyang, you don’t have to worry about me.

第一百四十一章、小虎很虎！
第一百四十一章、小虎很虎！
陆契机是屠龙专业里面的一个另类。
孤僻冷傲，言辞犀利。 看起来跟谁都欠了她好几十枚金币不还的讨债模样。
就连紧随其后的楚浔都没有受到特殊的优待，和他说话的时候也仍然是冷冰冰的，没见着特别的给他一句软话一个笑脸。
当然，这也是大家心理平衡仍然愿意把她当作同学的原因----她不是只对自己一个人有意见她对谁都板着一张脸这是性格使然不是因为她认为自己是个混蛋。
你看，能够进星空学院的学生包容心就是这么强大。
平时上课的时候，陆契机很少说话。 只是专注地听着老师的讲解或者同学们的争论。
但是今天这般旗帜鲜明的跳出来反对李牧羊，其实大家心里也是没有多少意外的。
谁都知道她最不喜欢的人就是李牧羊，两人好像一入学就发生了不少次的冲突。
这一段时间没有向他开炮已经让人觉得很诧异，现在表现出来才让所有人放心----陆契机果然还是陆契机。
羊小虎被自己的学生们质疑，脸色本来是不太好看的。
他可是星空名师啊，自己讲的话是经过无数资料的查询和无数时间考证的。 你们这么当众反驳，是不是太不给我这个老师面子了？
虽然他这辈子被人反驳的次数也实在太多了些。
孔离和夏侯浅白两人把反驳他当成了家常便饭。
现在看到陆契机站出来反驳李牧羊，不，是支持自己的观点，不由得有些兴奋起来。
还是有学生愿意和自己站在一边的。 吾道不孤。
他快步走到陆契机面前，笑呵呵地问道：“陆契机同学，你这句话是什么意思？”
陆契机说道。
不管是质疑老师论点的，还是支持老师观点的----老师都非常的欢迎。 我是一个开明的老师，我愿意和我的学生一起探讨问题。” “龙是神族，这一点儿毋庸置疑。”
陆契机声音冷酷地说道：“低等龙族有着半神的能力，高阶龙族和神族无异。 甚至比一些神族还要更加强大一些。”
羊小虎更加兴奋了，说道：“陆契机同学这么讲有什么论据吗？”
最厉害的狮子能够一爪拍碎巍峨高山？ 还有狼----那根本就是最下等的野兽，一只手指头都能够摁死的蝼蚁，也能够和龙族相提并论？”
羊小虎不停的点头，说道：“契机同学言之有理，言之有理----那你说的贼喊抓贼又是何解？”
“有些人故意贬低龙族，无视它们的危险和威胁性-----到底有何居心？” 陆契机眼神犀利地盯着李牧羊，问道。
屠龙，这是无数人心目中的理想，也是我儿时的梦想----大家只是希望理想不死，梦想不灭。 我们仍然有一个屠龙的机会。 是不是这样，铁木心同学？”
他是典型的人族唯上论，在他的心目中，人族是最强大的，是最无敌的。 这种观念和他来自大漠那种极其贫瘠又恶劣的生存环境有关系。 在他认为，人族是没有什么事情不能够做到的。
所以，在陆契机站出来反驳李牧羊，并且质疑那些贬低龙族的危险和威胁是何居心的时候，他的脸色就已经变得相当难堪了。
这不是故意和自己唱反调打擂台吗？
幸好李牧羊同学愿意站出来帮自己说话，他真是一个很好的人呢。
“我就是觉得人族是万能的，修为强大的人族是可以屠龙的。 史书上面有记载，怒江的红色河水也可以证明。
我能有什么阴谋？ 难道我还是一条龙不成-----你看看，我是不是龙？ 是不是龙？”
陆契机眼神冷洌地扫了铁木心一眼，语带嘲讽的说道。
面对这样的弱智对手，她连多说一句废话的心思都没有。
“你说什么？” 铁木心目眦尽裂，长发披散，头上的星空袍嘶啦啦地作响。
他的身上黄气缭绕，就像是有什么东西被烤焦了一般。 双手握拳，拳头上面闪烁着土黄色的光芒，引而不发，极度的危险。
士可杀，不可辱。 大漠民族最是重视自己的智商建设问题。
谁敢骂他们是‘白痴’，那就等于是当众往他们的脸上吐口水------不，比吐口水还要严重百倍千倍。 铁木心要和人拼命。
呛！
一剑惊虹闪烁，剑气凛冽磅礴。 楚浔拔剑而起，不知道什么时候竟然已经挡在了陆契机的身前，语气不善地说道：“铁木心，你被小人利用仍不自知，竟然敢对契机出手，你不是白痴是什么？ ------想要攻击契机，那就先过了我这一关吧。”
也不知道楚浔在哪里找来那么多的好剑，前段时间才送给了林沧海一把入了品级，现在又立即换来另一把。
“打就打，你以为我会怕你？”
“那就让我看看你们这些大漠蛮人有几分本事。”
大战一触即发！
羊小虎看看林沧海，发现对方笑眯眯地看着眼前发生的一切，并没有像上次那样出手劝阻的意思。
陆契机面无表情的坐在原地，一幅我和这件事情一点儿关系也没有的模样。
李牧羊倒是一脸紧张，满脸担忧地看着羊师，说道：“羊师，快劝劝，不能让他们欺负了铁木心同学------他又没做错什么。”
我的大少爷啊，你就少说两句吧？ 都已经这样了，你还在往火里面浇油水-----不怕烧着自己啊？
自己这是盼来一群什么样的好学生啊？ 听了李牧羊的话，铁木心大为感动，心想，还是李牧羊够朋友够兄弟，这种时候还在担心自己被欺负。 楚浔和陆契机其心可诛，竟然说自己被小人利用还不自知------谁是小人，现在一目了然。
铁木心出声喊道：“牧羊兄，你不要为我担心。 这个小白脸想要吃掉我，我怕他没有长一幅好牙口------整天一幅耻高气扬的样子，把谁都不放在眼里。
让他们知道做人要低调。” “既然木心同学这么说，那我也不知道说些什么了。” 李牧羊叹息着说道。
羊小虎也轻轻地叹息，说道：“都住手吧。”
“羊师，你也看到了。 楚浔欺人太甚。”
“羊师，今天这件事情你别管。
“你以为我不敢啊？
铁木心动了。 身上的土黄色烟雾弥漫，将他的身体都给包裹进去了。
他拳头握着的黄色光芒越发的明亮，就像是一颗土黄色的宝石。
身体未动，周围的空气就已经抽紧，空间开始扭曲。
楚浔也动了。
他的长剑平举，白色锋芒如长蛇吐芯。 剑尖直指铁木心的周身七十二要穴，无论对方从哪一个方向攻来，自己都能够迅速将其斩成碎片。
羊小虎在原地消失了。
他在铁木心的肩膀上拍了一记，铁木心聚集起来的劲气瞬间散掉，一屁股瘫倒在地上。
他的右手那么一伸，楚浔手里的长剑便到了他的手里。 同时被他拿走的还有楚浔左手的剑鞘。
电光火石！
只是一眨眼的功夫！
不，你根本就来不及眨眼，你甚至感觉不到时间的流逝。
他消失，他又在原地出现。
在这个过程中，他已经做完了那么多的事情。
“我说---------”羊小虎眨巴着那双三角眼，憨厚的胖脸相当无奈的说道：“你们得尊重我。”
空气凝固了。
表情石化了。
所有人都目瞪口呆，看着羊小虎久久说不出话来。
羊小虎，实在是太虎了。

Chapter 141 – Xiaohu is like a tiger!
Chapter 141: Xiaohu is like a tiger!
Lu Qiji was a weird one in the dragon slayer department.
Antisocial and icily arrogant, every word from her mouth was harsh and unfriendly. As if she’s a debt collector demanding payment and that everyone owes her dozens of pieces of gold.
Even Chu Xun who follows her all the time had never received any special treatment, and her words to him remained cold. They never saw her speaking softly or even smiling at him.
Of course, this is also the reason that although everyone is mentally stable would still be willing to have her as their classmates—-she’s not only prejudiced against one person instead looks at everyone with a scowl on her face, this is her personality and not because she thought everyone is a jerk.
You see, students who could enroll into Starry Sky have high tolerance and forgiveness.
Usually during class, Lu Qiji rarely spoke. Instead she concentrated on listening to the teacher’s explanation or other students’ debate.
But today she showed her colours, jumped out against Li Muyang; in fact, everyone was not surprised at all.
Everyone knew her least favorite was Li Muyang, they have had many conflicts at school before.
The fact that she did not instantly fire criticism at him already made people very surprised, now that she finally expressed herself, everyone finally felt reassured—-Lu Qiji was indeed still Lu Qiji.
Questioned by his own student, Yang Xiaohu did not look too well.
He is a teacher of Starry Sky, everything he said has been checked against countless data and after countless hours of research. You guys contradicted him in public, is that not disrespectful to the teacher?
Although he was refuted countless number of times before in his life.
Kong Li and Xiahou Qianbai also both commonly refute him.
Seeing Lu Qiji standing up and refuting Li Muyang, no, supporting his point of view, he could not help but get excited.
There is a student willing to stand on my side. I am not alone.
He hurriedly walked in front of Lu Qiji and asked with a smile: “Student Lu Qiji, what did you mean?”
“Nothing.” Lu Qiji said.
“——-” The smile on Yang Xiaoh’s face reduced slightly, then said encouragingly: “Student Lu Qiji, if you have any thoughts on this subject, you can tell us frankly. The more the truth is debated the clearer it becomes. No matter whether it’s questioning teacher’s arguments or supporting teacher’s point of view—-Teacher welcomes feedback. I am an open-minded teacher, I am happy to discuss with my students. ”
“Dragons are divine beings, this is beyond doubt.” Lu Qiji said in a cold voice: “Low-ranking dragons have half the power of immortals and high-ranking dragons are no different to divine beings. Some are even more powerful than divine beings.”
Yang Xiaohu was even more excited, saying: “Student Lu Qiji do you have any basis for what you just said?”
“[The Dragon Chronicles] have recorded all sorts of supernatural powers and the destructive force of dragons, is it something that ordinary beasts could compete with? Could a powerful tiger swallow a town? Could the most powerful lion crush a towering mountain with its paw? Also wolves—-they are inferior animals, ants that could be pressed dead with a finger, can they be compared to dragons? ”
Yang Xiaohu nodded repeatedly in response, saying: “Student Qiji is right—-then why did you say ‘thief shouting ‘catch the thief’’?”
“Some people are deliberately trying to misrepresent the abilities of the dragon race, ignoring their dangerous and threatening nature—–just what motives does such a person have?” Lu Qiji shot a glare at Li Muyang.
Li Muyang completely ignored Lu Qiji, looked at Tie Muxin with a smile and said: “I believe that Tie Muxin classmate meant no harm. He was belittling the dragon, because he believes in the strength of humans. He believes that humans can triumph no matter what, the powerful human elites can slay dragons. Dragon slayer, this is the dream of millions of people, it’s also my childhood dream—-we all hoped that our ambition does not die, our dreams never destroyed. We still have a chance to slay a dragon. Is this not the case, Tie Muxin classmate?”
“That’s right.” Tie Muxin said in a coarse voice. He is the representative of the theory that humans are superior; in his mind, humans are the most powerful, they are invincible. This point of view and the fact that he came from the desert, a very barren and harsh environment, are closely linked. In his opinion, there is nothing that human cannot do. Whether it’s nature or dragons, they can all be overcame. If dragons are divine beings, then, tens of thousands of years ago, the dragon slayer heroes—-just who were they?
Therefore, just as Lu Qiji stood up and refuted Li Muyang, and also questioned the motive of those who belittled the danger and threat of dragons, his face also turned quite embarrassed.
Is she not intentionally taking a different view?
Fortunately, Li Muyang classmate was willing to stand up and speak for me; he really is a good person.
“I just think humans can achieve anything, humans who cultivate should be able to slay dragons. This is documented in the history books, Red Nujiang can also attest to this fact. I don’t have any selfish motives, I’m just voicing my opinion—-”
Tie Muxin loudly beat his strong chest, growled at Lu Qiji: “what motive would I have? What can I plot? Do you think I’m a dragon—–Look, am I a dragon? Am I a dragon?”
“Retard.” Lu Qiji swept a cold glance over Tie Muxin and said disdainfully.
Faced with such a mentally deficient opponent, she had no mind of even saying an extra word to him.
“What did you say?” Tie Muxin was fuming with rage, his long hair messily draped over his shoulder, the Starry Sky robe on his body making loud hissing sounds.
Earth-yellow air enveloped around his body, like something was being scorched. Both his hand clenched into a fist, both fists flashed with yellow light, as though they were ready and waiting for action, and extremely dangerous.
They could be killed,, but not be humiliated. Desert people attach great importance to their intelligence.
Who dare scold them ‘idiot’, is the same as spitting in their face in public——no, hundred and thousand times more serious than spitting.
Cha!
With the lash of his sword, a rainbow flashed across, the sword radiating a biting cold and majestic aura. Chu Xun drew his sword up and before everyone knew, he was already standing before Lu Qiji and said in an unfriendly tone: “Tie Muxin, you’ve been used by a vile person yet you still don’t realised, you even dared to attack Lu Qiji, if you’re not an idiot, then what are you?——If you want to attack Qiji, then you have to deal with me first.”
Also, no one knew where did Chu Xun found so many good sword, a short while ago he gifted Lin Canghai a top-graded sword but now he has another one.
“Then fight, do you think I’m afraid of you?”
“Then let me see you what skills you desert savages have.”
A battle was about to erupt!
Yang Xiaohu glanced at Lin Canghai, only to find him watching everything happening with a slight smile on his face and without any intention of obstructing or dissuading like last time.
Lu Qiji sat expressionless in the same place, looking as though she has nothing to do with this at all.
While Li Muyang said to teacher Yang anxiously: “Teacher Yang, hurry do something, can’t let him bully Tie Muxin classmate——he didn’t do anything wrong.”
“———-” Yang Xiaohu was on the verge of tears. Oh, my young master, can you say a few less words? Pouring oil onto the fire—–are you not afraid of burning yourself?
As Tie Muxin listened to Li Muyang’s words, he was deeply touched, he thought to himself: Li Muyang is such a good friend, good brother, even at this time he was still worried about me being bullied. Chu Xun and Lu Qiji have devious motives, saying that I’m being used by a vile person without knowing——who are the vile people, it’s obvious.
Tie Muxin shouted: “Brother Muyang, you don’t have to worry about me. This pretty boy wants to eat me, I’m afraid he does not have a good mouth——Looking high and mighty all day long, as if he’s above everyone else. I never liked the sight of him, today let me teach him a lesson. Let him know that he has to be low-key.”
“Since Muxin classmate said so, I don’t know what else to say.” Li Muyang said with a sigh.
Yang Xiaohu gently sighed: “All of you, stop it.”
“Teacher Yang, you saw it too. Chu Xun went too far.”
“A toad yawning, you talk big——-”
“You think I don’t dare to? Come on——”
The earth-yellow smoke around his body began to fill the air around him, enveloping his body.
The yellow light in his fist turning increasingly bright like an earth-yellow jewel.
Before his body moved, the surrounding air already became tighter and the space began to distort.
Chu Xun also moved.
He lifted his sword horizontally, the white tip of the sword flickering like a serpent’s tongue. The sharp tip striking towards the seventy-two acupuncture points of Tie Muxin’s body, as though no matter from which direction it attacked from, it would quickly sever him into pieces.。
Yang Xiaohu disappeared from his spot.
Yang Xiaohu slapped Tie Muxin on the shoulder and in a flash the qi that Tie Muxin gathered dispersed before Tie Muxin toppled backwards to the ground, landing heavily on his buttocks.
Although his right hand only stretched out slightly, Chu Xun’s sword fell right into his palm, and at the same time, he retrieved the scabbard in Chu Xun’s left hand.
In a flash!
In the blink of an eye!
No, without even the time to blink, without feeling the passage of time.
He disappeared, then instantly reappeared at the same place.
In this process, he has done so many things already.
“I said———” Yang Xiaohu blinked his triangular eyes, his honest-looking face seemed quite helpless as he said: “You have to respect me.”
The atmosphere froze.
Looking petrified.
Everyone was dumbstruck, watching Yang Xiaohu, silently unable to say a word for a long time.
Yang Xiaohu, was really too much like a tiger.

"value": "Chapter 417 Truce\nGreem already possessed the home field advantage. The scales of the battle quickly tipped in his favor now that he had completed his second phase transformation. He was ferociously beating up Tula and Dana.\nIt hurt them all the way to the bone whenever Greem struck them with his violent attacks that typically went up to one hundred and fifty points. When taking into consideration the Ring of Fire that covered a hundred meter radius, it wasn't hard to imagine how painful of a chore it was to fight with Greem in this sea of lava.\nEven the Medusa, with her magical resistance, could only skim along the edges of the Ring of Fire. She instantly felt as if her entire body had set aflame if she ventured too far in and entered the Burning Domain. Even a monster like herself couldn't endure more than ten seconds in the Burning Domain. Otherwise, her defensive forcefield would fall apart.\nWhat awaited her then would be indescribably horrifying torture!\nOn the other hand, Tula was doing pretty well, as one would expect of the true sovereign of these lands. His combat ability was at the absolute peak of elite-level. If the environment here hadn't wholly tipped in Greem's favor, Tula would have been able to put up a vicious fight against the adept.\nThus, Tula was responsible for engaging Greem, while the Medusa was tasked with harassing Greem from a distance. Both parties fought above the tower, battling until the caverns trembled from their might.\nDespite all his strength and power, even Tula couldn't take much more after such an extended fight with the Flame Fiend.\nThe elementium fire burned continuously at his body. The resilient, steel-like hair on his body had withered and fallen off from the heat. his smooth spider legs with high metal composition had roasted a bright red.\nMost of a demon-hunting spider's body was as hard as steel. Only the sizeable abdominal sac at the back of its body was particularly soft.\nIn past battles, any enemy that tried to strike at that weak spot would have had to face the many spider webs that Tula shot out from there. If they were ever bound in place by the sticky white webbing, they would be rendered harmless prey with their lives at Tula's behest.\nHowever, the relentless eighty points of flame damage were truly hurting Tula! Extremely so!\nTula's purple abdominal sac was already covered in black scorch marks. Many places had already been burned through. Every time Tula moved around with his quick speed, he left behind a trail of sour black spots.\nThat was what the spiderweb liquid looked like after being carbonized!\nIt didn't matter whether Greem was still able to hang on at this point. Tula was most definitely faltering.\nWith his power at the height of elite-level, Tula was a terrifying existence wherever he went. He ruled over a stretch of the Black Forest with his strength. He had ordered this war against the tower for the sake of his land and resources.\nA powerful being like Tula would be a massive threat to other magical creature lords wherever he went. That was why it would be virtually impossible for him to find a suitable territory to live in if he ever left this place. Lords might be willing to take in magical creatures like Dana the Medusa, but no one would ever take in an 'ex-lord' like Tula.\nThus, be it for his own interests or those of all the magical creatures, Tula had given his all in the siege of this adept's tower.\nUnfortunately, he had still underestimated an adept's tower stationed with an adept!\nMoreover, he had never expected the terrifying ace that Greem had hidden up his sleeve– the sea of lava!\nMost of the tower had already submerged into lava at this point. From a distance, the tower looked like a piece of broken rock floating in the lava. The magma and fire continued to burn the tower's walls. The entirety of the outer walls glowed scarlet as if they were about to melt and collapse at any moment.\nIf the tower had been built with ordinary steel, it would have melted into the magma even if it had heat resistance. It couldn't compare to the volcanic rock with which the tower was built. The terrifying heat was immediately absorbed by strange runes the moment it made contact with the tower's walls. The heat was then transferred to the elementium in the energy room where it was stored for future use.\nThe lava wasn't damaging the tower. Instead, the tower was absorbing fire elementium energy at an even faster rate. The lower levels of the elementium pool had been filled even before the pools at the highest level had been filled.\nWhen a layer of bright red elementium forcefield covered the tower, Tula completely broke down! The last bit of his hopes had vanished into ashes.\nTula promptly chose to give up without any hesitation!\n\"I'll hold him back for now. You try and find an escape route!\" Tula's mental voice silently rang out in Dana's mind.\nTula moved the moment Dana agreed and turned. His tattered abdominal sac suddenly swelled, and a white sticky liquid sprayed all over the Medusa.\nThe liquid dried the moment it was exposed to the air. It was both adhesive and elastic now.\n\"You...\" Dana was completely taken by surprise. It took her a while before she remembered to struggle and break free of the web.\nHowever, in a matter of seconds, her body had already been tied up into a cocoon by the multiple layers of webbing. She could hardly move a finger. Tula lunged over and grabbed the cocoon with his mouth, escaping with it towards the distance.\nHis wounds might have looked deep, but his sharp limbs still rapidly moved when he needed to escape. He clung to the wall and vanished within seconds.\nEven Greem was surprised by the scene before him. He had let Tula escape before he knew it.\nHe wanted to chase after Tula, but he paused and thought for a bit.\nGreem then slowly turned around and cast his gaze upon the few surviving magical creatures. Three-Headed Demon Hound Unguja!\nA bird demon!\nThey were an elite-level magical creature and two ordinary magical creatures!\nThey didn't have the strength to run away, but they didn't dare to attack Greem either. That was why they hid on stone pillars or within cracks in the walls, anxiously awaiting the outcome of the battle.\nThe magical creatures lamented their fate when they saw the towering Flame Fiend look over with his blood-red eyes.\n\"Sir, I surrender!\"\nNo one expected that the first to surrender would be Unguja! He was a magical creature leader after all!\nHis hair and skin had all burned away. He looked just like a mongrel in the streets that had been skinned by a butcher. His three heads pressed against the stone wall as he desperately wagged his red tail at Greem.\nIf he weren't clinging to a stone pillar, Unguja would probably prostrate himself before Greem to demonstrate his submission and goodwill.\nThe other two magical creatures looked at each other and saw profound helplessness in each other's eyes.\nThey both lowered their heads dejectedly and expressed their desire to surrender.\nGreem snorted coldly. He pointed with his finger, and the dense fire elementium around the creatures materialized into red chains that immediately bound them.\nOf course, the three monsters could break free of this low-level fire spell. However, none of them could even find the courage to resist when Greem glared at them. They were taken down just like that.\nGreem ran into a smiling Gargamel when he dragged the three creatures back into the tower. Gargamel was holding a massive body that had been charred beyond recognition.\n\"The giant berserk gelada?\" Greem was stunned for a moment.\nThere weren't many creatures of that size, which made it easy for Greem to guess its identity.\nBefore Gargamel could answer, Greem shook his body and the tall Flame Fiend form quickly disintegrated. Greem's frail body was exposed as the magma and fire peeled away.\nHe crouched on the ground and spat out several mouthfuls of black blood before he got onto his feet.\nGargamel and Meryl hurried forward and helped Greem onto their shoulders from both sides.\nJust then, Eva the forest spirit floated down from the top of the tower and slowly approached Greem.\n\"Are you alright, Master?\" Gargamel couldn't help but ask out of concern.\nEven though he was a wandering adept, and had a strong distaste for most clan adepts, he felt very different about his master. That was why Gargamel's concern did have a certain sincerity to it.\n\"Teacher, should I help you to your room to get some rest?\" Meryl frowned as she asked, worried.\n\"There's no need! A couple of shockwaves only hit me in the fight earlier. I'll be fine once I get the blood out of my system,\" Greem didn't want to reveal too much about his actual situation. He quickly turned his attention towards the four magical creatures they had captured, \"Make some arrangements and bring them to the Room of Bindings. I need a conclusion to this as soon as possible!\"\n\"Leave it to me!\" Gargamel couldn't hide the excitement on his face when torture and interrogation were mentioned. His eyes glowed with a brilliant light when he looked at the magical creatures, \"Hey, you lot, come over here and bring these beasts to the Room of Bindings. This adept wants to tend to them personally.\"\nThe apprentices that had just raced over from various spots in the tower respectfully greeted Greem. They then excitedly lifted up the four magical creatures and ran towards the Room of Bindings upstairs.\nThree locations in the tower could be used to confine enemies.\nOne was a prison used to imprison ordinary creatures.\nThe second was a Sealing Room, typically used to imprison magical beings with powerful abilities. The Sealing Room was essentially a small foreign dimension that could effectively cut off all connection to the outside world.\nMany proud creatures would have to be isolated in the Sealing Room for several decades, or even centuries before their edge wore away, and they became more willing to submit to the adepts.\nThe last one was the Room of Bindings.

第0417章
拥有了真正炎魔变身后的格力姆，再加上主场之利，瞬间就翻转了战局，开始疯狂的吊打剩下的狩魔蛛图拉和美杜莎达娜。
动辄一百五六十度的狂暴攻击，打在身上真是痛彻骨髓，再加上那广布范围达到一百多米的火焰结界，任谁在这片熔岩海洋里和他战斗都是一件极其痛苦的事情。
即便以美杜莎达娜的魔抗，也只能在火焰结界边缘游走，一旦深入到燃烧领域，那就瞬间有种整个身躯都在燃烧的恐怖感觉。 以她的实力，在燃烧领域中也无法坚持超过十屈指，否则体外的防护力场就会被烧穿。
届时等待她的，将是一种难以言喻的可怕酷刑！
不过狩魔蛛图拉倒不愧是这片区域的魔物领主，个体战力已经无限接近精英魔物的巅峰。 如果不是这里的环境完全倒向了格力姆，以图拉的实力绝对和他有一拼。
因此狩魔蛛负责近战纠缠住格力姆，美杜莎负责外围游走攻击，双方就在巫塔之上打的昏天黑地，天翻地覆。
即便以图拉的强大实力，近身和炎魔缠战久了，也是暗自大呼受不了。
无孔不入的元素火焰时刻烧灼着它的身躯，图拉体表硬如钢针般的毫毛也被烧得蜷曲脱落，含有大量金属成分的扁平蜘蛛腿更是被高温烘烤的一片通红。
狩魔蛛大部分身躯都硬如钢铁，可唯独身后硕大的腹囊却显得颇为柔软。
过往的战斗中，如果有敌人敢把这里当成突破口，那么它就必须面对图拉源源不断的蛛网喷射和黏液喷吐。 敌人一旦被白花花的蛛网黏腻固定在原地，那么自然也就成了狩魔蛛可以轻易拿下的猎物了。
可现在面对无所不在的元素火焰，高达80度的火焰伤害让图拉很受伤，很受伤！
不知什么时候，狩魔蛛图拉紫色的腹囊上已经满布着黑色的焦痕。 好多地方已经被烧穿，每当图拉快速的闪移和奔行之时，身后都会留下一条黏腻腥臭的黑斑。
那是蛛网黏液碳化后的模样！
打到这个时候，不管格力姆化身的炎魔还能不能承受，反正图拉是承受不住了。
以它这样的精英顶峰实力，走到哪里都是领主级的恐怖存在。 今天之所以指挥着所有魔物和丛林生物与巫塔死磕，为了还是自己的领地和资源。
一旦图拉离开这里，像它这样的强大存在，会对别的魔物领主造成巨大威胁，所以它想再寻觅到一个适合自己的领地简直千难万难。 像美杜莎这样的魔物或许会有领主愿意收留，可像它这样的‘前领主’，却绝对不会有人收留。
所以于公于私，魔物领主狩魔蛛图拉在围剿巫塔一事上都算是尽心尽力了。
而它更没有想到的则是格力姆准备的恐怖杀手锏——岩浆海！
此时此刻，巫塔大半个塔身都已经没入到了岩浆海之中。
所以远远望去，整个巫塔就好像漂浮在岩浆上的一截石尖柱一般。 岩浆和烈火一刻不停的烧灼着塔身，所有的外侧石基墙壁都是红彤彤的，仿佛下一刻就会融化坍塌。
如果打造巫塔用的是普通钢岩的话，即使可以抵抗高温，最终也会融化成一团流质岩浆。 哪会像眼前的火山岩一样，恐怖的热量刚刚接触到巫塔的外壁，就被布置在上面的神秘符文给吸收掉，然后传输到能量间的元素池里储存起来。
地下2层的能量间里，最高层的元素池没有注满，反而是最底层的火元素池提前注满了。
因此当一层艳红的火元素防护力场在巫塔上延展开来时，心里还存着最后一丝妄想的图拉完全的崩溃了！
毫不犹豫的，狩魔蛛图拉立刻选择了放弃！
“我缠住他，你先寻找一下逃生的道路！” 悄无声息的，图拉的心灵之语在美杜莎达娜脑海里响起。
然而就在美杜莎应命转身的刹那，图拉残破的腹囊突然鼓起，一连串白色黏液瞬间喷了对方一身。
黏液见风就干，变得黏稠而又充满弹性。
“你……”美杜莎达娜大惊失色，这才想起挣扎。
可是就这么一会的功夫，她的身躯已经被密密麻麻的白色黏液糊成了一个网茧，难以动弹分毫。 而狩魔蛛图拉急扑过来，用巨螯咬住网茧疯狂的逃向了远方。
别看它身躯受创颇深，可一旦全力逃命，八只锋锐如刀般尖利节肢不住的划动，竟然依附在天花板上，转瞬间就消失在视线不及的远处。
格力姆也被眼前的一幕惊得目瞪口呆，一个悴不及防竟然让图拉逃掉了。
他虽然有心去追，可是思虑一转，又停下了身形。
格力姆化身的恐怖炎魔傲立岩浆海上，缓缓转过身形，把视线投注到远处残存的几位魔物身上。
蛇魔！
一个精英级魔物和两头普通魔物！
它们既无力逃走，也不敢上前围攻格力姆，因此一直蜷缩在石柱和岩壁的缝隙中，提心吊胆的等待着战斗的结果。
当它们看到高大炎魔令人畏惧的血红眼瞳扫视过来，心头都不由得暗暗叫苦。
“大人，我投降！”
让人意想不到的是，第一个慌不迭投诚的竟然是拥有魔物首领身份的三首魔犬安古迦！
它全身的毛发和皮肤都已不翼而飞，浑身红通通的酷似一个剥了皮的癞皮狗。
三个犬首贴俯在石柱岩壁上，拼命地冲着格力姆摇曳着它那一根红色肉*棍般的尾巴。
另外两个鸟妖和蛇魔彼此对视一眼，都从对方眼内看到了深深的无奈。
两魔垂头丧气的低下了头颅，也向格力姆表达出了愿意臣服的架势。
格力姆冷哼一声，伸手一指，三魔身侧浓郁的火元素立刻凝聚成了道道红色锁链，把它们五花大绑了起来。
以三魔的实力当然能够反抗这个低阶的火系巫术，可是被格力姆化身的高大炎魔冷冷盯视着，它们竟然连抗拒之心都升不起，就这样被简单的拿下了。
当格力姆押着三魔返回了巫塔，迎面遇到了眉开眼笑的格格巫，而他手中拖拽着一具焦黑的难以辨析的巨大身影。
“狂暴巨狒？” 格力姆猛然一愣。
这样威猛体型的魔物可不多，所以格力姆很容易就猜出了它的身份。
不过不等格格巫回答，格力姆猛然身躯颤抖，高大的炎魔之躯开始快速崩解。 当熔岩和烈火一一剥离，格力姆‘瘦弱’的身躯也就显现了出来。
匍匐在地上接连吐出了好几口黑血，格力姆这才挣扎的爬了起来。
格格巫和梅丽尔同时抢上，左右搀扶着格力姆。
而这个时候，林妖也从巫塔上层飘下，缓缓来到格力姆身侧。
“主人，你没事吧？” 格格巫忍不住关心的问道。
虽然作为流浪巫师，他对大部分家族巫师都没什么好印象，可眼前的这位主人却显然有些不同。 因此对于格力姆的受伤，格格巫的关心倒是有着几分诚意的。
“老师，要不我先扶你去房间休息一下吧？” 梅丽尔皱着眉头，关心的询问道。
“不用，我只是刚才战斗时受到了一点震荡，血吐出来就没什么事了！” 对于自己真实的情况，格力姆不愿多谈，反而很快把注意力转移到了四头抓回来的魔物身上：“你们安排一下，把它们都送到束缚间。 我需要尽快有一个结果！”
“交给我吧！” 提到刑讯，格格巫褶皱的老脸上满是按捺不住的兴奋，望向几头魔物的眼瞳里甚至都放射出了强烈的光芒：“喂，你们几个搭把手，把它们都送入束缚间。
那些刚从巫塔各处赶来的巫师学徒恭恭敬敬的冲着格力姆躬身施礼，然后一起兴高采烈的托起四头魔物，直奔上层的束缚间而去。
巫塔内部能够用来监禁外敌的处所有三个。
一个是地牢，用来关押普通生物。
封印间等于是巫塔开辟出来的一个小型异空间，能够有效的隔绝强大生物与外界的联系。
所以很多桀骜不驯的魔物都会在封印间里待上几十年、上百年，才会被磨去棱角，拥有被巫塔收服的可能。
最后一种就是和封印间类似的束缚间。
束缚间里拥有强大的困敌符阵，关在那里的魔物都是急需处理的家伙。 愿意臣服的打上奴役烙印，就成了巫塔守卫的一份子。
等这一切处理完了，格力姆立刻直奔能量间而去。
虽然他能够通过芯片与核心巫阵的联系知道此战魔晶的消耗，可是此刻，他还是觉得亲眼目睹一下方才安心。

Chapter 417 Truce
Greem already possessed the home field advantage. The scales of the battle quickly tipped in his favor now that he had completed his second phase transformation. He was ferociously beating up Tula and Dana.
It hurt them all the way to the bone whenever Greem struck them with his violent attacks that typically went up to one hundred and fifty points. When taking into consideration the Ring of Fire that covered a hundred meter radius, it wasn't hard to imagine how painful of a chore it was to fight with Greem in this sea of lava.
Even the Medusa, with her magical resistance, could only skim along the edges of the Ring of Fire. She instantly felt as if her entire body had set aflame if she ventured too far in and entered the Burning Domain. Even a monster like herself couldn't endure more than ten seconds in the Burning Domain. Otherwise, her defensive forcefield would fall apart.
What awaited her then would be indescribably horrifying torture!
On the other hand, Tula was doing pretty well, as one would expect of the true sovereign of these lands. His combat ability was at the absolute peak of elite-level. If the environment here hadn't wholly tipped in Greem's favor, Tula would have been able to put up a vicious fight against the adept.
Thus, Tula was responsible for engaging Greem, while the Medusa was tasked with harassing Greem from a distance. Both parties fought above the tower, battling until the caverns trembled from their might.
Despite all his strength and power, even Tula couldn't take much more after such an extended fight with the Flame Fiend.
The elementium fire burned continuously at his body. The resilient, steel-like hair on his body had withered and fallen off from the heat. his smooth spider legs with high metal composition had roasted a bright red.
Most of a demon-hunting spider's body was as hard as steel. Only the sizeable abdominal sac at the back of its body was particularly soft.
In past battles, any enemy that tried to strike at that weak spot would have had to face the many spider webs that Tula shot out from there. If they were ever bound in place by the sticky white webbing, they would be rendered harmless prey with their lives at Tula's behest.
However, the relentless eighty points of flame damage were truly hurting Tula! Extremely so!
Tula's purple abdominal sac was already covered in black scorch marks. Many places had already been burned through. Every time Tula moved around with his quick speed, he left behind a trail of sour black spots.
That was what the spiderweb liquid looked like after being carbonized!
It didn't matter whether Greem was still able to hang on at this point. Tula was most definitely faltering.
With his power at the height of elite-level, Tula was a terrifying existence wherever he went. He ruled over a stretch of the Black Forest with his strength. He had ordered this war against the tower for the sake of his land and resources.
A powerful being like Tula would be a massive threat to other magical creature lords wherever he went. That was why it would be virtually impossible for him to find a suitable territory to live in if he ever left this place. Lords might be willing to take in magical creatures like Dana the Medusa, but no one would ever take in an 'ex-lord' like Tula.
Thus, be it for his own interests or those of all the magical creatures, Tula had given his all in the siege of this adept's tower.
Unfortunately, he had still underestimated an adept's tower stationed with an adept!
Moreover, he had never expected the terrifying ace that Greem had hidden up his sleeve– the sea of lava!
Most of the tower had already submerged into lava at this point. From a distance, the tower looked like a piece of broken rock floating in the lava. The magma and fire continued to burn the tower's walls. The entirety of the outer walls glowed scarlet as if they were about to melt and collapse at any moment.
If the tower had been built with ordinary steel, it would have melted into the magma even if it had heat resistance. It couldn't compare to the volcanic rock with which the tower was built. The terrifying heat was immediately absorbed by strange runes the moment it made contact with the tower's walls. The heat was then transferred to the elementium in the energy room where it was stored for future use.
The lava wasn't damaging the tower. Instead, the tower was absorbing fire elementium energy at an even faster rate. The lower levels of the elementium pool had been filled even before the pools at the highest level had been filled.
When a layer of bright red elementium forcefield covered the tower, Tula completely broke down! The last bit of his hopes had vanished into ashes.
Tula promptly chose to give up without any hesitation!
"I'll hold him back for now. You try and find an escape route!" Tula's mental voice silently rang out in Dana's mind.
Tula moved the moment Dana agreed and turned. His tattered abdominal sac suddenly swelled, and a white sticky liquid sprayed all over the Medusa.
The liquid dried the moment it was exposed to the air. It was both adhesive and elastic now.
"You..." Dana was completely taken by surprise. It took her a while before she remembered to struggle and break free of the web.
However, in a matter of seconds, her body had already been tied up into a cocoon by the multiple layers of webbing. She could hardly move a finger. Tula lunged over and grabbed the cocoon with his mouth, escaping with it towards the distance.
His wounds might have looked deep, but his sharp limbs still rapidly moved when he needed to escape. He clung to the wall and vanished within seconds.
Even Greem was surprised by the scene before him. He had let Tula escape before he knew it.
He wanted to chase after Tula, but he paused and thought for a bit.
Greem then slowly turned around and cast his gaze upon the few surviving magical creatures. Three-Headed Demon Hound Unguja!
A bird demon!
They were an elite-level magical creature and two ordinary magical creatures!
They didn't have the strength to run away, but they didn't dare to attack Greem either. That was why they hid on stone pillars or within cracks in the walls, anxiously awaiting the outcome of the battle.
The magical creatures lamented their fate when they saw the towering Flame Fiend look over with his blood-red eyes.
"Sir, I surrender!"
No one expected that the first to surrender would be Unguja! He was a magical creature leader after all!
His hair and skin had all burned away. He looked just like a mongrel in the streets that had been skinned by a butcher. His three heads pressed against the stone wall as he desperately wagged his red tail at Greem.
If he weren't clinging to a stone pillar, Unguja would probably prostrate himself before Greem to demonstrate his submission and goodwill.
The other two magical creatures looked at each other and saw profound helplessness in each other's eyes.
They both lowered their heads dejectedly and expressed their desire to surrender.
Greem snorted coldly. He pointed with his finger, and the dense fire elementium around the creatures materialized into red chains that immediately bound them.
Of course, the three monsters could break free of this low-level fire spell. However, none of them could even find the courage to resist when Greem glared at them. They were taken down just like that.
Greem ran into a smiling Gargamel when he dragged the three creatures back into the tower. Gargamel was holding a massive body that had been charred beyond recognition.
"The giant berserk gelada?" Greem was stunned for a moment.
There weren't many creatures of that size, which made it easy for Greem to guess its identity.
Before Gargamel could answer, Greem shook his body and the tall Flame Fiend form quickly disintegrated. Greem's frail body was exposed as the magma and fire peeled away.
He crouched on the ground and spat out several mouthfuls of black blood before he got onto his feet.
Gargamel and Meryl hurried forward and helped Greem onto their shoulders from both sides.
Just then, Eva the forest spirit floated down from the top of the tower and slowly approached Greem.
"Are you alright, Master?" Gargamel couldn't help but ask out of concern.
Even though he was a wandering adept, and had a strong distaste for most clan adepts, he felt very different about his master. That was why Gargamel's concern did have a certain sincerity to it.
"Teacher, should I help you to your room to get some rest?" Meryl frowned as she asked, worried.
"There's no need! A couple of shockwaves only hit me in the fight earlier. I'll be fine once I get the blood out of my system," Greem didn't want to reveal too much about his actual situation. He quickly turned his attention towards the four magical creatures they had captured, "Make some arrangements and bring them to the Room of Bindings. I need a conclusion to this as soon as possible!"
"Leave it to me!" Gargamel couldn't hide the excitement on his face when torture and interrogation were mentioned. His eyes glowed with a brilliant light when he looked at the magical creatures, "Hey, you lot, come over here and bring these beasts to the Room of Bindings. This adept wants to tend to them personally."
The apprentices that had just raced over from various spots in the tower respectfully greeted Greem. They then excitedly lifted up the four magical creatures and ran towards the Room of Bindings upstairs.
Three locations in the tower could be used to confine enemies.
One was a prison used to imprison ordinary creatures.
The second was a Sealing Room, typically used to imprison magical beings with powerful abilities. The Sealing Room was essentially a small foreign dimension that could effectively cut off all connection to the outside world.
Many proud creatures would have to be isolated in the Sealing Room for several decades, or even centuries before their edge wore away, and they became more willing to submit to the adepts.
The last one was the Room of Bindings. It resembled the Sealing Room.
A powerful confinement array existed in the Room of Bindings. All magical creatures locked up there needed to be dealt with as soon as possible. Those that were willing to serve were branded with a slave's mark. They would then become part of the tower. If they refused to serve, they would be tossed into the Sealing Room and isolated for a couple of decades before they were reconsidered for service.
Once things had settled for a bit, Greem quickly made his way to the energy room.
Even though the chip's connection with the core array allowed him to know the number of magical crystals exhausted, he still felt like he needed to see for himself.

In his heart though, there were storms raging around! It seems that these people had already known of their identity! Who were they? What could be their purpose for bringing them here?\nAt this moment, Little Gang finally understood that those goods weren’t fake because the buyer was foolish, instead, it was all a trap set up by these people! They had deliberately set it all up!\nThose who often walk by the riverside will certainly get their shoes wet? At this moment, Little Gang felt that the proverb was very appropriate to describe their situation! {TL Note: Dunno if the translation of the proverb is good enough or not. It means that if you keep on doing good\\bad things, something good\\bad will happen to you as well. Something like that.}\n“Who are we? We are naturally your colleagues!” The middle-aged man said with a sneer.\n“Those things are fake!” Thinking of this, Little Gang said quickly.\n“Fake? Oh, yes, we certainly know that they are fakes!” The middle-aged man nodded as he felt funny.\n“Since you already know they are fake, why have you captured us?

Then, what are your conditions!” Little Gang asked helplessly.\n“Your Feiyan Gate must submit to our Raytheon Gang and become our branch in Asia!” The middle-aged man directly said his condition.\n“What? Feiyan Gate submit to your Raytheon Gang? Are you high?” Little Gang said angrily, “That is impossible! No matter what you do, our Feiyan Gate will certainly not submit to you. And your Raytheon Gang isn’t that strong either, so you better not think about forcing us!”\n“I never like to force someone against their will. If you don’t agree, I will just hand over what has happened here to the International Police. You can then wait for your Feiyan Gate’s fate!” The middle-aged man sneered.\n“Are you threatening me?” Little Gang was stunned by the old man’s words and said, “Humph, everything is on the basis of evidence. So long as I don’t admit, what can the International Police do to me? Even if we take 10,000 steps back and say that I admit it, who will know that I am from the Feiyan Gate? So long as I don’t admit my relationship with the Feiyan Gate, there’s nothing they can do. The only one who will be captured is me! What can they do besides that?”\n“Hehe, indeed, if you don’t acknowledge, there’s nothing they will be able to do about it!” The middle-aged man said with a smile, “But it’s already too late for that!”\n“What do you mean!” Little Gang asked.\n“Do you know where those water columns came from?” The middle-aged man asked suddenly.\nLittle Gang was startled, but he still shook his head and said, “Wasn’t it because we accidentally touched the fire prevention button?”\n“How can there be such coincidences? That was something we deliberately arranged to make sure you all would take off your masks!” The middle-aged man said, “All of your actions have already been recorded on a camera. How is it, are you not going to appreciate our efforts?” The middle-aged man picked up a remote from the table and pressed a button. A large screen immediately started to play the recording of Little Gang and the others committing the crime inside the vault!\n“What about it?” Little Gang knew that they had been framed, so he wasn’t surprised after seeing the video! Although they had already covered all the cameras when they were committing the crime, who could have thought that there was a pinhole device there! Those things were quite hard to spot and find!\n“I have already said that so long as I claim it all to be my own actions, it will have nothing to do with Feiyan Gate!” Little Gang said.\nListening to the middle-aged man’s words, Little Gang’s face immediately turned pale. At this moment, he was both shocked and angry. He pounded on the table and pointed at the middle-aged man as he said, “You are such a bastard! You actually framed us like this!”\n“We framed you? You wouldn’t be mistaken, right? We are from the Raytheon Group, we are all good people! We just bought a batch of fine imitation antiques, yet you actually tried to steal them from us! Now that we have caught you, isn’t it normal for us to ask for some conditions? Isn’t it right for me to hand you over to the police?” The middle-aged man didn’t lose his temper and said without appearing arrogant or servile.\n“Are you not afraid that the police will find evidence regarding your Raytheon Gang from this conversation?” Little Gang said helplessly, trying to put on some final struggle.\n“Evidence? What evidence? Did I say that I stole something and killed someone? No, I just said that we are all good people!” The middle-aged man laughed loudly, “Haha! But I will indeed remove some sensitive things. For example, me telling you to submit to us and some other things! The video is in our hands, so we can do whatever we want!”\nLittle Gang had no retort this time! He blamed himself for being too inexperienced and getting plotted against by others! Now, even if he blamed himself, nothing was going to work!\nIn desperation, Little Gang called Jin Hongzhong and told him everything. Jin Hongzhong didn’t panic like Little Gang and calmly talked to the middle-aged man!\n“Mr. Jin?” The middle-aged man took the call.\n“It is me. May I ask who you are?” Jin Hongzhong asked in a calm voice.\n“Oh, I am Ben Luther,” The middle-aged man said with a smile.\n“So it’s Mr. Ben Luther, the chief of the Raytheon Gang! It is my fortune to be able to talk to you!” Though Jin Hongzhong said it was his fortune, his voice was still very indifferent."

小刚他们被带到了一间密室当中，密室里已经坐着一个中年男人了。 “来自华夏的飞燕门的朋友们，你们好啊！”
中年人语出惊人，一语道破了小刚他们的身份。 “你们是什么人？”
小刚虽然没有能力去反抗。 但是作为专业偷盗人士地冷静还是有的，所以表情上也没有什么惊讶，但是其实，他的心里已经掀起了惊涛骇浪！ 看来这些人早就知道了自己这些人的身份了！
小刚此刻已经可以肯定了，那些假的古董并不是因为买家不懂，而是本来就是假的！ 故意想要引诱自己上钩地！
常在河边走，哪有不湿鞋！ 老话说的好，小刚此刻就是这个心情！
“我们是什么人？ 哼哼。
“那些东西都是假的！” 想到这里，小刚赶紧说道。
没错，我们当然知道是假的！” 中年人有些好笑的点了点头。
“既然你们知道是假的，那还抓我们做什么？ 你要是想要，东西你拿去好了！”
有些淡然地说道：“难道你们飞燕门踩过界了，我们就要当作不知道么？” “你们是雷神党的人！”
小刚此刻立即反应过来，原来对方是雷神党的人！
中年人点了点头，确定了小刚的话：“没错。 我地确是雷神党的！”
“你们这是什么意思！” 小刚立刻觉得不对劲了：“难道这次的事情都是你们安排的？” “我们安排的？
呵呵，你也可以这么认为吧！” 中年人摊了摊手说道：“我们只不过准备了一批仿制的古董放在这里，而你们试图盗窃我们的东西，被我们人赃并获的逮住了！”
小刚的脸色变了又变，原来，自始至终这都是雷神党地一个阴谋，自己被陷害了！ 不过事到如今，倒霉也好，陷害也好。
“好吧，我认栽了！ 说吧，你们有什么条件！” 小刚无奈的说道。
“你们的飞燕门归附于我们雷神党下，成为我们在亚洲的分部！” 中年人直接提出了条件。
“什么？ 归附道你们的雷神党下？ 开什么玩笑！”
“我从不喜欢强人所难。 如果你不同意，那我就把你所做的事情交给国际刑警，那么等待你们飞燕门的将会是什么呢？” 笑道。
“你威胁我？”
好吧，就算退一万步讲，就算我承认了，那又怎么样，谁知道我是飞燕门的？ 我只要不承认我和飞燕门的关系。
“你什么意思？” 小刚反问道。
“知道那些水柱从哪里来的么？” 中年人突然问道。
小刚被问的一愣，不过还是摇了摇头：“不是我们不小心碰到了消防栓了么？”
中年人说道：“你们刚才的所作所为，已经完整不差的全部记录到了录像上，怎么，要不要欣赏一下？” 说着，中年人拿起了桌上的一个遥控器，按了上面的几个按钮，对面的大屏幕上立刻开始播放起保险库里，小刚等人作案的情景来！ “那又怎么样？”
小刚知道自己被陷害了，看到录像以后也不是那么的惊讶了！ 虽然作案的时候他已经砸掉了四个角上的监视器，但是谁又能想到，暗处也设置了监视器呢！
你说如果我把这两份东西一起交给国际刑警，那么你还能说你和飞燕门没有关系么！”
小刚听了中年人的话，脸立刻变得惨白起来，此刻他又惊又怒，一拍桌子指着中年人怒道：“你太卑鄙了！ 居然这么算计我？”
我们只不过买了一批精仿的古董放在这里，但是却被你们偷走了！ 现在，我抓到了你们，难道不应该提一些条件么？ 把你交给警察也是我的权利吧？”
中年人丝毫没有动怒，不卑不亢的说道。 “可是，难道你就不怕警察会从这段对话中，找出你们雷神党的犯罪证据么？”
什么证据？ 我说过我偷过东西还是杀过人？ 没有，我只是说我们雷神党都是好人！”
都怪自己经验不足，居然这么就被人算计了！ 现在，就算他想自己扛罪都不行了！ 无奈之下，小刚拨通了金洪钟的电话。
把事情的经过讲给了金洪钟。 金洪钟却没有像小刚那样慌神，而是平静的要求和中年人通话！
“金先生么？” 中年人接过了电话。
“是我，请问阁下是？”
金洪钟的声音依然那么镇定自若。 “呵呵，我是班路德。” 中年人笑道。
“原来是班路德先生，雷神党的党魁！ 幸会幸会！”

After arriving, the guards opened the doors! Little Gang was taken to a secret room where a middle-aged man was already sitting.
“Friend from Feiyan Gate of China, how are you?” The middle-aged man actually knew Little Gang’s identity.
“Who are you?” Although Little Gang didn’t have any ability to resist, as a professional thief, he was still very calm and didn’t show any surprised expression. In his heart though, there were storms raging around! It seems that these people had already known of their identity! Who were they? What could be their purpose for bringing them here?
At this moment, Little Gang finally understood that those goods weren’t fake because the buyer was foolish, instead, it was all a trap set up by these people! They had deliberately set it all up!
Those who often walk by the riverside will certainly get their shoes wet? At this moment, Little Gang felt that the proverb was very appropriate to describe their situation! {TL Note: Dunno if the translation of the proverb is good enough or not. It means that if you keep on doing good\bad things, something good\bad will happen to you as well. Something like that.}
“Who are we? We are naturally your colleagues!” The middle-aged man said with a sneer.
“Those things are fake!” Thinking of this, Little Gang said quickly.
“Fake? Oh, yes, we certainly know that they are fakes!” The middle-aged man nodded as he felt funny.
“Since you already know they are fake, why have you captured us? If you want, you can take all that stuff!” Little Gang said.
“Why have we captured you?” The middle-aged man looked at Little Gang and said indifferently, “You people from the Feiyan Gate actually intruded into our turf and expect us to turn a blind eye to you?”
“You people are from the Raytheon Gang!” Little Gang immediately reacted. So these people were from the Raytheon Gang!
The middle-aged man nodded in affirmation and confirmed Little Gang’s words, “Indeed, we are from the Raytheon Gang!”
“What do you mean by this (capturing us) then?” Little Gang immediately felt that something was wrong, “Were you the ones who arranged this matter?”
“We arranged it? Hehe, so it seems that you still have a brain!” The middle-aged man laughed, “We just prepared a large number of imitation relics here, yet you people actually tried to rob us, so why can’t we apprehend the thief and take back our stuff?”
Little Gang’s complexion changed. So, from the very start, it was all a plot of the Raytheon Gang to frame them! However, no matter whether their luck was rotten or they were framed, it was a fact that they had fallen in the enemies clutches! Little Gang understood that when one mixed in the underworld, there were some rules that needed to be followed!
“Good, I acknowledge that we deserved what happened to us! Then, what are your conditions!” Little Gang asked helplessly.
“Your Feiyan Gate must submit to our Raytheon Gang and become our branch in Asia!” The middle-aged man directly said his condition.

“Do you know where those water columns came from?” The middle-aged man asked suddenly.
Little Gang was startled, but he still shook his head and said, “Wasn’t it because we accidentally touched the fire prevention button?”
“How can there be such coincidences?

"value": "Chapter 80: Dream Disciple\nTranslator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations\n\"Haha… This Golden Blade Talisman is indeed a useful spiritual talisman!\"\nSeeing the power of the talisman, the young master laughed heartily, but after a while, his laughter stopped. He stared at Fang Yuan, who was bleeding profusely, and his face turned blank. \"You… you… you...\"\nAs for him, left with two empty shoulders, he should have passed out from the pain, or even die!\nSurprisingly, Fang Yuan appeared extremely calm, as though it was not his own body that was hurt.\n\"Since all of this is a dream, then the pain and the suffering I am experiencing would be fake... As long as I want to exist in this dream world, I will be able to do so. In theory, I am the owner of this entire dream world!\"\nFang Yuan tried to change himself and return to his real state; he tried regrowing his limbs, and later on, he tried to increase his cultivation level directly to Tribulation Stage.\nNothing happened. His plan to cheat and become an immortal failed miserably.\nFollowing that, Fang Yuan tried to change the physical world. For instance, he tried to summon the 99 Wind-Fire Tribulations to strike and kill those noisy pests but failed again.\n\"Ah... It seems like I have to take things step by step!\"\nFang Yuan recalled the description of the dream world. Some people, under certain circumstances, would be aware that they were having a nightmare, but would not be able to wake up from it. Furthermore, they could do nothing about the fear in the dream, because they were not able to control their own consciousness, and Fang Yuan was in this situation.\n\"To be able to be conscious in a dream is already an important step. The next step would be to remain conscious the moment the dream begins. As the saying goes, I would always know who fell asleep first!\"\nFang Yuan took a few steps forward. The blood from his arm already formed a pool on the ground, but he was still calm, as though it wasn't even his own blood.\n\"What are you doing? Fre... Freak! Don't... Don't come over!\"\nThe young master was in shock and fell to the floor. A foul smell came from his crotch, as he peed in his pants.\nRegardless of how high he was in his Spirit training, he was after all a young man, and after witnessing such a gruesome scene was scared till he peed!\n\"I guess that death is still the quickest way to leave the dream world in the initial stage? Of course, I must have the intention of leaving, if not, even the Tribulation stage would be able to wipe me completely off from this world...\"\nFang Yuan frowned, took two steps forward and lifted the young master up.\nHe cut the wrist of the young master, and the arteries, veins and bones were visible.\nThe young master continued to struggle and threw a few objects on Fang Yuan. A few more bloody holes in his body appeared.\n\"Interesting! Interesting! Would I still return here the next time I dream?\"\nAlthough the dream world was interesting, the flow of time in both worlds had to be managed well.\nIn history, there were dream masters who were careless while cultivating and were trapped in their dream world, unable to escape. In the end, they died of hunger in the real world!\nAs a rule of thumb, whenever a junior dream master trained, there should always be a senior dream master by his side to look out for him.\nFang Yuan did not have a senior by his side, and to be safe, he wanted to leave immediately without having to consider if he still had enough time in the real world.\nFang Yuan heaved a sigh, brought the screaming young master to the edge of the cliff, and jumped down.\n\"Rumble!\"\nGreen Peak spiritual land.\nFang Yuan's body shook, and he opened his eyes.\n\"Entering a dream... so interesting... Who would've known that my first dream world would be a world of Immortal Cultivators? I thought that it would be the other weird dream!\"\nHe was longing to experience the other modernised world full of technology another time.\nHowever, a junior dream master could not control his own dream worlds, and could only roam around dream worlds without control.\n\"Eh?\"\nHe looked at the incense in front of him and saw a halfway-burnt incense smoking away.\n\"I spent more than 10 years in the dream, but it is not even equivalent to the time to burn one incense in the real world?\"\nThe speed of time in dream worlds conjured by dream masters was usually faster than that of the real world. Of course, there were still many weird and wonderful dream worlds, and therefore dream masters could cheat time and explore every one of them.\nFang Yuan heaved a sigh and placed the jade on his forehead.\n\"The cultivation of a dream master is split into 4 steps: Entering a dream, becoming self-aware, changing the dream world and lastly, ruling the dream world!\"\nBecoming self-aware meant that every time one entered a dream, he could be aware that he was dreaming, and not be confused.\n\"Dream Disciple - You are new to being a dream master, and have the skills to become self-aware in a dream; these skills are the most basics in the profession!\"\n\"Every dream training would increase [Magic] by '0.1', and that's not too bad!\"\nFang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.\nThe requirements of a dream master were high and unfathomable; even though Fang Yuan himself possessed 4 times more magical energy than the average person, he could barely reach the basics of a dream master cultivation!\nOf course, the harder the initial stages, the greater the potential of cultivation.\nFang Yuan read what Master Wenxin had left behind for him, and knew that at the beginning, a dream master would be weak, and may not even be able to protect himself.\nOnly when one had become a true dream master and begin to explore other people's dream worlds, would the real power of the dream master surface.\nFang Yuan rubbed his forehead.\nHe felt a cooling sensation in his Mind Palace; it was a totally different type of power from inner force.\nBased on its characteristics, it was more similar to the blood elemental force and a spiritual knight's elemental force. At the same time, there were slight differences as well.\n\"When I am able to fully control my dream world, this miniature elemental force will transform into dream elemental force, and act as the foundation for my cultivation!\"\nFang Yuan stood up, loosened his joints, and walked out.\nHe came out from a grass hut built at the halfway point of Green Peak spiritual land. There was fencing around, and the Flame Jade Rice and Questioning Heart Tea were all growing well, within the fencing.\n\"Indeed... Spiritual land is the best for growing spiritual plants!\"\nFang Yuan approached the boundaries of the fence and arrived at a carefully carved out plot of land for plantation.\nOther than the two matured spiritual plants, he planted the seed of the bamboo fruit, and a few other spiritual plant's seeds which he recovered from the bird's nest.\nHopefully, by harnessing the magical abilities of this spiritual land, the spiritual plants would be able to germinate.\nThe cultivation of a dream master could not be rushed. At this stage, a dream a day would be enough. Fang Yuan would spend his remaining energy on setting-up the spiritual land, and try to win over the red-eyed white birds.\nThose birds were made to starve, and when desperate, obeyed those who gave them food, which comforted Fang Yuan.\nAs long as they were willing to put down their pride for once, there would be a chance of taming them in the future. Slowly, day after day, step by step, no matter how resolute they were, they would surely be tamed one day.\n\"And these bird eggs... Let the Iron-tailed Black Eagle hatch them? Seems like an original idea!\"\nFang Yuan climbed on a platform and held a large white egg in his hands. He felt the little movements of the chick within the egg, and shook his head. \"Should I….. Look for a bunch of hen to try it out? It may work!\"\nIf the red-eyed white king bird knew of this plan, he would be so embarrassed, and might even change its mind and listen to Fang Yuan.\n\"Chirp! Chirp!\"\nJust as Fang Yuan was deciding whether or not to use the bird eggs to provoke the red-eyed white kind bird, a gust of wind came and the Iron-tailed Black Eagle landed on the platform, carrying the Flower Fox Ferret on its back.\nIt had been teasing the other white birds together with the Flower Fox Ferret for the past few days, and both of them had been travelling to and from the secluded valley and did not know that Fang Yuan was considering asking it to become the eggs' nanny.\n\"What happened?\" He was signalled to come towards them, and Fang Yuan smiled.

第八十章
梦徒（求推荐！
“哈哈……这金刃符不愧攻击灵符！”
普通人，哪怕未曾突破金丹的修仙者，肉身还是非常宝贵的。
一下被削掉手臂，外带大半个肩膀，恐怕立即就得痛昏过去，甚至直接死亡！
但在他面前，方元的表情却十分淡漠，就好像砍的不是他自己的身体一样。
“既然一切都是梦，那所有的痛楚，乃至要害，自然都是假的……只要我愿意存在，就可以存在下去，理论上而言，我就是整个梦境的主宰！”
方元先尝试着改变自己，令自己复原，又或者直接将修为提升到渡劫期。
一念之下，什么都没有发生，他想将自己直接作弊修改成仙人的想法，很可耻地失败了。
而接下来，方元又尝试修改外界，比如让天上落下一个九九雷劫，劈死面前那几只聒噪的苍蝇，奈何也无法实现。
“唉……看来还是无法一步登天！”
方元想到了有关梦境的描述，有的人机缘巧合之下，也可以明知自己是在做恶梦，却根本醒不过来，甚至对于梦中的恐怖也无能为力，因为他们还无法彻底掌控自己的泛意识，自己同样也是如此。
“能在梦中醒悟真我，已经是很重要的一步了，接下来就是在每个梦中一开始就都能醒悟，所谓大梦谁先觉，平生我自知！”
方元向前走了几步，胳膊上的血液已经流成了一个血塘，面上表情却是淡漠无比，仿佛那根本就不是自己的血一般。
怪……怪物！ 不……不要过来！”
小侯爷吓倒在地上，胯下更是有着一股腥臊之味传来，**痕迹散开。
哪怕成功炼气，他也还是个半大少年，看到如此诡异的一幕，顿时就被吓尿了！
“在最初阶段，最快脱离自身梦境的方法，还是死亡么？
方元皱了皱眉头，旋即上前两步，抓起了小侯爷。
他割开小侯爷的手臂，血液与血管、骨骼清晰可见。
甚至这小侯爷还不断挣扎，取出几件保命之物，砸在他的身上，在他身上又开了几个大大的血洞。
有趣！ 不知道我下次入梦，是否还会在这里？”
梦中世界虽然精彩，流速比例却要把握好。
历史上，还真的有着梦师修炼不慎，直接陷入梦境之中，不可自拔，最终活活饿死的例子！
是以初阶梦师修炼，必须有着师长在一边看顾。
方元没有这条件，立即就想着出去，判断两边流速，省的将自己肉身饿死。
方元幽幽一叹，带着尖叫不断的小侯爷，来到悬崖边上，猛地一跳。
轰隆！
青峰灵地。
方元浑身一震，睁开了双眼。
“入梦……真有趣……想不到我的第一个梦境，竟然是一个修仙世界，我还以为会是那个异世界呢！”
对于那个科技为主，充满现代化的世界，他还是很渴望再去体验一下的。
只是梦师入梦，特别是一开始的梦师，根本无法控制自己的梦境，只能被动地在梦境当中游荡。
“嗯？”
他看了看面前的香炉，只见上面香烟寥寥，烟头才烧了一半。
“梦中十数年，现实里面甚至连一炷香的时间都没有么？”
梦师梦境，大多时间流速都要远远超出真实世界，当然，也不乏某些奇葩梦境的出现，那就非常坑了。
方元沉吟着，手上浮现出传承玉简，贴在额头之上。
“梦师修行，一开始分为四步，入梦、觉醒真我、修改梦境、主宰！”
所谓觉醒真我，就是每次入梦，都可觉醒意识，不受迷惑。
“梦徒——你还是梦师中的新人，刚刚有着入梦与觉醒的能力，乃是最为基础的入门级！”
“一次入梦修炼，能增长神元0.1，已经很不错了！”
方元见此，却是满意地点了点头。
梦师的要求之高，实在不可思议，甚至以他之前普通人四倍的神元，竟然也只是刚刚达到了修炼的门槛！
当然，入门越难，正式踏上修炼之途的好处就越大。
方元看了问心居士留下的传承之后，也很清楚梦师在一开始，还是非常弱小，甚至没有多少自保之力。
唯有到了真正成为梦师，探入其他人梦境的时候，才是梦师真正发威的开始。
方元摸了摸眉心。
他已经感觉到，在自己泥丸宫之中，有着一股微弱而清凉，与内力截然不同的力量。
从性质上而言，它更加偏向法系的血元力、灵士元力一点，却又有着差别。
“到了能真正掌握梦境的时候，这一丝元力雏形也就会变成梦元力，为一切修炼之根本！”
方元起身，舒展了下筋骨，来到外界。
这是一处修建在青峰灵地半山腰的茅草屋，外面用篱笆围了一圈，炎玉晶米与问心茶树赫然在内，散发出勃勃生机。
“果然……还是灵地最适合灵种的种植啊！”
方元来到篱笆边上，一个精心开辟出来的田圃当中。
除了两株成熟灵植之外，他还将那枚朱果之核，以及抢救出来的一些灵植种子洒了下去。
希望以此灵地的神异，这些灵植都能茁壮成长起来。
梦师修炼，过犹不及，目前阶段，每天入梦一次便可，此时，方元便将剩余的精力都放在了打理灵地，收服红眼白鸟之上。
那些雏鸟饿个几天，顿时就有些有奶便是娘的味道，总算开始进食，令方元略感欣慰。
只要此时低头，未来就有的是办法驯服，日积月累，潜移默化之下，纵然心如顽石又算得了什么？ 怕就怕白鸟王那样，已经心存死志，当真是做什么都没用了。
“还有这些鸟蛋……让铁翎黑鹰去孵？ 似乎有些不靠谱！”
方元爬到平台之上，摸着一枚巨大的白色鸟蛋，感受着其中幼鸟的悸动，不由摇了摇头：“或者……去找群母鸡过来试试？ 说不定有用呢！”
若是被白鸟王知道他此时的想法，保管羞愧欲死，甚至动摇念头都是有着可能。
“啾啾！”
就在方元打算是不是拿鸟蛋去刺激下白鸟王的时候，伴随着一阵狂风，铁翎黑鹰的身影降落在平台之上，背上还带着花狐貂。
它这些天逗弄白鸟，与花狐貂一起在灵地与幽谷来回撒欢，却也颇为自得其乐，丝毫不知道自己差点大祸临头，被方元当成孵蛋的保姆。 “又发现什么了？”
看到示意自己上前，方元笑着说了一句，靠近几步，眼睛顿时一凝。
“咯咯！”
花狐貂悻悻地叫了一声，身上赫然有着一个伤口，细腻平整，不是野兽，而是出自人类武者的兵刃。
“这伤势……幽谷出事了？
比划交流一番之后，方元的眼睛顿时眯起，眸子中放出精光。
“也是……我这几天心思都放在了灵地之上，外面的事根本没怎么管，莫非出了什么事？”
“只是纵然那地已经不是重点，也是我起家之地，更是我与师父的脸面！”
“敢惹到我头上来！”
方元冷笑一声，上了铁翎黑鹰之背：“走吧！ 该给他们一个教训了！”
“啾啾！”
铁翎黑鹰振翅高飞，顷刻间没入云层，消失无踪。
幽谷。
此时，在谷口的茅屋之外，两拨人正在对峙。
一方乃是韩长老与周文武，一方乃是一帮陌生武者，簇拥着一名鹑衣百结，满面红光的老人。
“刚才的白貂，便是神医所养，你等还要如此无礼？”
周文武看了一眼老神在在、事不关己的韩长老，还是硬着头皮，站出来大声说道。

Chapter 80: Dream Disciple
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
"Haha… This Golden Blade Talisman is indeed a useful spiritual talisman!"
Seeing the power of the talisman, the young master laughed heartily, but after a while, his laughter stopped. He stared at Fang Yuan, who was bleeding profusely, and his face turned blank. "You… you… you..."
As for him, left with two empty shoulders, he should have passed out from the pain, or even die!
Surprisingly, Fang Yuan appeared extremely calm, as though it was not his own body that was hurt.
"Since all of this is a dream, then the pain and the suffering I am experiencing would be fake... As long as I want to exist in this dream world, I will be able to do so. In theory, I am the owner of this entire dream world!"
Fang Yuan tried to change himself and return to his real state; he tried regrowing his limbs, and later on, he tried to increase his cultivation level directly to Tribulation Stage.
Nothing happened. His plan to cheat and become an immortal failed miserably.
Following that, Fang Yuan tried to change the physical world. For instance, he tried to summon the 99 Wind-Fire Tribulations to strike and kill those noisy pests but failed again.
"Ah... It seems like I have to take things step by step!"
Fang Yuan recalled the description of the dream world. Some people, under certain circumstances, would be aware that they were having a nightmare, but would not be able to wake up from it. Furthermore, they could do nothing about the fear in the dream, because they were not able to control their own consciousness, and Fang Yuan was in this situation.
"To be able to be conscious in a dream is already an important step. The next step would be to remain conscious the moment the dream begins. As the saying goes, I would always know who fell asleep first!"
Fang Yuan took a few steps forward. The blood from his arm already formed a pool on the ground, but he was still calm, as though it wasn't even his own blood.
"What are you doing? Fre... Freak! Don't... Don't come over!"
The young master was in shock and fell to the floor. A foul smell came from his crotch, as he peed in his pants.
Regardless of how high he was in his Spirit training, he was after all a young man, and after witnessing such a gruesome scene was scared till he peed!
"I guess that death is still the quickest way to leave the dream world in the initial stage? Of course, I must have the intention of leaving, if not, even the Tribulation stage would be able to wipe me completely off from this world..."
Fang Yuan frowned, took two steps forward and lifted the young master up.
He cut the wrist of the young master, and the arteries, veins and bones were visible.
The young master continued to struggle and threw a few objects on Fang Yuan. A few more bloody holes in his body appeared.
"Interesting! Interesting! Would I still return here the next time I dream?"
Although the dream world was interesting, the flow of time in both worlds had to be managed well.
In history, there were dream masters who were careless while cultivating and were trapped in their dream world, unable to escape. In the end, they died of hunger in the real world!
As a rule of thumb, whenever a junior dream master trained, there should always be a senior dream master by his side to look out for him.
Fang Yuan did not have a senior by his side, and to be safe, he wanted to leave immediately without having to consider if he still had enough time in the real world.
Fang Yuan heaved a sigh, brought the screaming young master to the edge of the cliff, and jumped down.
"Rumble!"
Green Peak spiritual land.
Fang Yuan's body shook, and he opened his eyes.
"Entering a dream... so interesting... Who would've known that my first dream world would be a world of Immortal Cultivators? I thought that it would be the other weird dream!"
He was longing to experience the other modernised world full of technology another time.
However, a junior dream master could not control his own dream worlds, and could only roam around dream worlds without control.
"Eh?"
He looked at the incense in front of him and saw a halfway-burnt incense smoking away.
"I spent more than 10 years in the dream, but it is not even equivalent to the time to burn one incense in the real world?"
The speed of time in dream worlds conjured by dream masters was usually faster than that of the real world. Of course, there were still many weird and wonderful dream worlds, and therefore dream masters could cheat time and explore every one of them.
Fang Yuan heaved a sigh and placed the jade on his forehead.
"The cultivation of a dream master is split into 4 steps: Entering a dream, becoming self-aware, changing the dream world and lastly, ruling the dream world!"
Becoming self-aware meant that every time one entered a dream, he could be aware that he was dreaming, and not be confused.
"Dream Disciple - You are new to being a dream master, and have the skills to become self-aware in a dream; these skills are the most basics in the profession!"
"Every dream training would increase [Magic] by '0.1', and that's not too bad!"
Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
The requirements of a dream master were high and unfathomable; even though Fang Yuan himself possessed 4 times more magical energy than the average person, he could barely reach the basics of a dream master cultivation!
Of course, the harder the initial stages, the greater the potential of cultivation.
Fang Yuan read what Master Wenxin had left behind for him, and knew that at the beginning, a dream master would be weak, and may not even be able to protect himself.
Only when one had become a true dream master and begin to explore other people's dream worlds, would the real power of the dream master surface.
Fang Yuan rubbed his forehead.
He felt a cooling sensation in his Mind Palace; it was a totally different type of power from inner force.
Based on its characteristics, it was more similar to the blood elemental force and a spiritual knight's elemental force. At the same time, there were slight differences as well.
"When I am able to fully control my dream world, this miniature elemental force will transform into dream elemental force, and act as the foundation for my cultivation!"
Fang Yuan stood up, loosened his joints, and walked out.
He came out from a grass hut built at the halfway point of Green Peak spiritual land. There was fencing around, and the Flame Jade Rice and Questioning Heart Tea were all growing well, within the fencing.
"Indeed... Spiritual land is the best for growing spiritual plants!"
Fang Yuan approached the boundaries of the fence and arrived at a carefully carved out plot of land for plantation.
Other than the two matured spiritual plants, he planted the seed of the bamboo fruit, and a few other spiritual plant's seeds which he recovered from the bird's nest.
Hopefully, by harnessing the magical abilities of this spiritual land, the spiritual plants would be able to germinate.
The cultivation of a dream master could not be rushed. At this stage, a dream a day would be enough. Fang Yuan would spend his remaining energy on setting-up the spiritual land, and try to win over the red-eyed white birds.
Those birds were made to starve, and when desperate, obeyed those who gave them food, which comforted Fang Yuan.
As long as they were willing to put down their pride for once, there would be a chance of taming them in the future. Slowly, day after day, step by step, no matter how resolute they were, they would surely be tamed one day.
"And these bird eggs... Let the Iron-tailed Black Eagle hatch them? Seems like an original idea!"
Fang Yuan climbed on a platform and held a large white egg in his hands. He felt the little movements of the chick within the egg, and shook his head. "Should I….. Look for a bunch of hen to try it out? It may work!"
If the red-eyed white king bird knew of this plan, he would be so embarrassed, and might even change its mind and listen to Fang Yuan.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
Just as Fang Yuan was deciding whether or not to use the bird eggs to provoke the red-eyed white kind bird, a gust of wind came and the Iron-tailed Black Eagle landed on the platform, carrying the Flower Fox Ferret on its back.
It had been teasing the other white birds together with the Flower Fox Ferret for the past few days, and both of them had been travelling to and from the secluded valley and did not know that Fang Yuan was considering asking it to become the eggs' nanny.
"What happened?" He was signalled to come towards them, and Fang Yuan smiled. He froze.
"Keke!"
The Flower Fox Ferret let out a pitiful cry. There was a clean wound on it; it was not harmed by other animals, but rather, by a weapon.
"This injury... Something has happened to the secluded valley?!"
Fang Yuan squinted his eyes, looking fierce.
"True... I've placed all my attention to this spiritual land, and tossed aside everything else, could it be that something has happened?"
"The only issue I have is that that used to be my home and my Master's reputation!"
"Who dares to provoke me!"
Fang Yuan let out a cold laugh and rode on the back of the Iron-tailed Black Eagle. "Let's go! We shall teach them a lesson!"
"Chirp! Chirp!"
The Iron-tailed Black Eagle spread its wings, soared into the sky and disappeared.
Secluded valley.
Two groups of people were waiting outside of the straw pavilion.
One group was Elder Han and Zhou Wenwu, while the other group was a group of foreign martial artists crowding around an old man, who was clad in a quail-feathered robe and appeared to be full of energy.
"The white ferret was Doctor Fang's pet, and you dare to harm it?"
Zhou Wenwu looked at Elder Han, who did not seem to put the matter at heart. Yet, he still stood out to exclaim.

"value": "Chapter 344: Their Old Home\nThe apartment was a normal apartment in a residential building. It was on the second level, on the east side.\nThe entire apartment was coated with a thick layer of dust. There were some footprints near the door- evidently, some people had come to investigate. Since the Long family had found his real life identity, it was likely that they would have found this place. Ling Chen silently looked around the apartment for a long time. Tian Tian also looked around. She had many questions that she wanted to ask, but seeing Ling Chen so silent and lost in his thoughts, she stayed quiet for the moment.\nApart from all the dust, everything was the same as when they had left. In these 2-3 years, because Shui Ruo couldn’t travel, they hadn’t been able to come back. Ling Chen walked forwards, and looked inside the innermost room…\nThe bed, wardrobe, table… as well as stuffed toys were all in the exact same places. Ling Chen could almost still smell that familiar fragrance in the air. His vision became hazy, and he could almost see the Shui Ruo from back then dragging him into her room, showing him all her stuffed toys.\nLing Chen pressed the button on the wall, and the lights came on. The electricity hadn’t been cut, and the warm glow of the light illuminated the whole room.\nLing Chen closed his eyes and slowly breathed in and out, before saying, “This was Shui Ruo’s room. Although it’s not as big as the one in Beijing, but she liked this little room so much. She would clean it and organise her things every day. She liked to collect all sorts of stuffed toys, and receiving stuffed toys would make her incredibly happy. Those years, mum and dad gave her a lot, and so did I. Very soon, her room became filled with stuffed toys, but she couldn’t bear to part with any of them. Even now, there are a lot of them in my room. She would say that they’re her good friends who would keep me company in my room.”\nTian Tian’s eyes became a bit red, and she held Ling Chen’s hand as she softly said, “Big brother, don’t be sad, alright? I’ll be obedient in future and I’ll be as good as big sister.”\nLing Chen smiled, and squeezed Tian Tian’s hand.\nOpposite Shui Ruo’s room was his own room. It had originally been a study room, but it had been given to him after he joined their family. He remembered that during a big storm, Shui Ruo had run into his room, and jumped into his bed… from then onwards, she would sneak into his room more and more frequently. At first, her parents would scold her and tell her not to do it, but after realising that they simply couldn’t stop her, they could only give in and let her do what she wanted.\nNext to theirs, was their mum and dad’s room. Their mum was always gentle and warm, and extremely loving towards her daughter and adopted-son. Their dad had been kind and calm, and saved lives for a living.\nWhy did such a thing happen to such a wonderful family?\nThe father had contracted the Isrock Disease, and unknowingly infected the mother and Shui Ruo. After finding out that they had contracted the Isrock Disease, all of their friends and relatives refused to see them anymore. Friendship and family apparently meant nothing in the face of life and death. Their good friends and neighbours would go out of their way to avoid them, and many families living around them all moved. In just a short period of time, this family had been abandoned by the rest of the world.\nHe could still clearly remember that back then, they had all cried as they begged him to leave. Otherwise, he would also be infected with the Isrock Disease. However, he adamantly refused. After all, he was now immune to the Isrock Disease. Even if he wasn’t, he still wouldn’t leave. At that time, he had also been overcome with fear and grief, because Shui Ruo had been infected. Afterwards, both the mum and dad had both passed away. Before they passed away, they tearfully left Shui Ruo to him.\n“Dad… Mum… I couldn’t… properly take care of Ruo Ruo… I…”\nLing Chen’s head hung low as he stood in front of his parents’ room, his heart full of regret and pain.\nHe detected something outside, but he maintained his calm. He held Tian Tian’s hand and walked towards the balcony.\nA person’s figure appeared, and rushed over to Ling Chen. When he got close enough to see Ling Chen properly, his body began to tremble as he knelt down in front of Ling Chen, excitedly saying, “Master… i-it’s really you! You’re alright… thank goodness... thank goodness… I… I…”\nLing Chen smiled as he said “It’s me. Gui Ci, we haven’t met in the real world for a while. Thank you for your hard work, for watching over this place for two years.”\n“Not at all, not at all.” The man in black called Gui Ci hurriedly shook his head as he shouted, “Such a terrible thing happened to Master in Beijing… but I wasn’t able to help at all… damnit… however, it’s great that you’re fine, master… right now, everyone’s extremely worried about master, and none of us could sleep at all. Especially those guys in Beijing- they’ve been searching for master like crazy… if everyone knew that master was fine, they’d all be so happy that they’d faint!”\nLing Chen knew that Gui Ya and the others were definitely worried about him, but he couldn’t return to Beijing, nor did he have any means to contact them. He helped Gui Ci up as he said, “Go and tell them that I’m fine, and that I’m in Zhong Zhou with Tian Tian.”\nGui Ci couldn’t help babbling in excitement. To them, there was no better news than Ling Chen being fine. He took out a small communication device from his pocket, quickly dialled some numbers, then put it in Ling Chen’s hands, “Master, it’s better if you talk to them directly. They haven’t slept for many nights, and they’ll only be able to be at ease if you personally talk to them.”\nLing Chen took the communication device and held it to his ear. Very soon, the line was connected, but the other side was silent.\nLing Chen spoke, “Gui Ya, it’s me.”\nLing Chen heard something fall to the ground and shatter. After a while, a trembling voice could be heard, “M… Master?”\n“Mm, it’s me. I’m fine, and I’m in Zhong Zhou with Tian Tian… are you all alright?”\nThe other side went silent for a few moments before he heard Gui Ya screaming, “Master!!! It’s master!!! Everyone, it’s master’s voice!!”\nAll of a sudden, Ling Chen could hear many sounds: the sound of footsteps rapidly running over, yells of joy, a door being suddenly opened, a chair being flung aside, even people being knocked to the ground… his heart was filled with warmth and gratitude. He leaned closer to the communication device and spoke as clearly and calmly as possible, “I’m fine now, and most of my wounds have healed. I’m with Tian Tian in Zhong Zhou, where we’ll be safe… Gui Ci’s also here with us.”\n“That’s right!” Gui Ci yelled out, “It’s master! It’s really master! It’s definitely him… and there’s also little sister Tian Tian. Master looks completely fine right now!”\n“It’s master! It’s Gui Ci’s and master’s voices!” “Master… thank goodness you’re fine! This is great, great!!”\n“… Oi! Move over, let me hear master’s voice! Move!!”\n“Stop squeezing… master’s invincible; of course he’d be fine. Look at you, crying like a baby!”\n“Look at you! You’ve got tears streaming down your face as well!” ……………………………… The sounds from the communication device became increasingly chaotic. The serious and cold-hearted deathgods of Dark Night all became like excited children. Ling Chen didn’t say anything as he silently listened. He became more and more convinced that his decision that night had been incorrect, as well as incredibly selfish.\n“Enough! Shut the hell up!! How’s master meant to talk with us shouting like this?!”\nGui Ya was ranked directly under Ling Chen. His roar of annoyance caused everyone else to quieten down. Soon, only rapid breathing could be heard. Gui Ya came closer to the communication device as he worriedly asked, “Master, you’re really fine? And Tian Tian is also fine?”\n“Mmm, we’re both completely fine. My external injuries have more or less healed, and I should be completely fine in a week. You all know how strong my recovery is. It’s just that… in order to save me, Tian Tian suffered a lot. If it wasn’t for Tian Tian, perhaps… perhaps I wouldn’t be able to see you guys again.” Ling Chen said.\nBeside him, Gui Ci looked at Tian Tian with extreme gratitude in his eyes. Ling Chen’s words caused Tian Tian’s position in these deathgods’ hearts to be risen to a new level.\n“Tian Tian… is such a fantastic child, and is our benefactor. Whew, it’s great that you’re all fine, thank goodness. I just knew that master and Tian Tian were definitely cared for by the heavens, hahaha…” The huge weight in Gui Ya’s heart had finally lifted, and he felt incredibly happy, and couldn’t help but laugh. This caused a chain reaction as all the other people started to laugh as well. Knowing that Ling Chen was fine, all of their worry, anxiety and fear had instantly disappeared. Compared to their worry for Ling Chen, their injuries were nothing.\n“I’m sure you were all hurt quite badly when you went to rescue me from the Long family. Make sure you all take care of your wounds, and don’t tire yourselves out. Also, you have to stay safe… this is an order.” Ling Chen said.\n“Roger!” Gui Ya immediately replied.\n“Now, tell me, on that night… did any of our brothers or sisters die at the Long family’s residence… tell me everything.” Ling Chen asked in a serious voice.\nThe smile on Gui Ya’s face disappeared. He stayed silent for a few moments before saying in a low voice, “Ying Ya died. In order to cover us, he stayed to the end, and blew himself up using the explosives on his body. There was also Buggy. Buggy’s legs were heavily injured, and he didn’t want to slow us down, so he leapt towards the Savage Tiger Corps, allowing them to capture him. Right now, he’s in the Xuanyuan family’s prison.”\nLing Chen’s heart ached as he sighed, and said, “Gui Dao also died… like Ying Ya, he used the explosives on his body to blow up the enemies pursuing us. It was probably him who passed me on to Bing Yao.”\nThe other side of the communication device fell silent.\n“It was all my fault; it was I who killed them… it was all because of me…” Ling Chen closed his eyes, as he blamed himself. If it wasn’t for his stupid and selfish actions, they wouldn’t have had to make those sacrifices…\n“No! Don’t say that, master! Being able to die for master is our glory. It was the only way they wanted to die… don’t worry master, we’ll definitely save Buggy. We’ll make the Long family pay ten times- no, a hundred times- for Ying Ya and Gui Dao’s deaths!” Gui Ya said as he gnashed his teeth."

第344章
一栋普通的居民楼，二楼，东户。
凌尘没有从正门入，而是避过所有的视线，带着天天跳上了阳台，通过阳台，进入了这个离开已久的家。 到处都蒙着一层厚厚的灰尘，门的方向，零星的印着一些模糊的脚印，显然，这些天有人调查过这里。 龙家已经知道了他的身份，也自然能查到这里。
除了多了太多的灰尘，所有的一切，都和当年离开时一样。 两年的时间，因水若患病的身体不能承受太长的旅途，所以他们一直没有回来过。
床、柜、桌……还有很多摆放的很整理的玩偶，空气之中，似乎还弥漫着那魂牵梦萦的味道。 凌尘的视线逐渐变得朦胧，仿佛又看到当年水若把他拉进房间，给他看新买的漂亮玩偶的情景。
按下墙上的开关，灯亮了起来。 电并没有断，温暖的灯光照亮着凌尘可以看到的每一个角落。
凌尘闭上了眼睛，无声的吐了一口气，然后缓缓说道：“这里，就是水若的房间。 虽然没有在京华的那个大，但她那么喜欢的这个属于她的小空间，每天都会收拾的干干净净，整整齐齐，她喜欢收集各种毛绒玩具，得到漂亮的毛绒玩具，是她最开心的事，那些年，爸爸妈妈送了她好多，我送了她好多，即使快把房间都摆满，她也一件都不舍得扔，现在还有很多都摆放在我的房间里，那时，她会俏皮着说让她的好朋友们陪着我一起玩，一起睡觉。”
天天的眼睛一点一点的泛红，她抓着凌尘的手，轻轻的说道：“哥哥，不要难过了好吗？ 我以后会听哥哥的话，会做的和姐姐一样好。”
水若房间的对面，就是他的房间，那本来是一间书房，他进入这个家后，就归属了他。
他还记得一次下雨打雷的时候，水若因为害怕第一次从自己的房间里跑出来，然后钻到他的床上……后来，她半夜偷偷跑到他房间里的次数越来越多，父母最开始的时候会训斥她几句，后来发现已经无法阻止，也只好苦笑着听之任之。
隔壁，就是父母的房间，总是那么温柔随和，对女儿和自己这个儿子无比宠爱溺爱的母亲，还有文雅沉稳，以救死扶伤为毕生己任的父亲。
但，为什么这么好的一家人，却会是这样的下场。
父亲患上伊斯洛卡，在未发觉的状态下传染给了母亲和水若，知道他们染上了这种可怕的病毒，那些和善的亲戚们全部避之唯恐不及，再也不相来往，所谓的亲情在这病毒之下显的那么的卑微可笑。 曾经友好的邻里们见到他们都会躲的远远的，对门和楼上楼下的几家全部搬离，一家人一夜之间就如同被整个世界无情的抛弃。
他还清楚的记得当年父母还有水若都哭着求他离开，否则，连他也早晚会被染上伊斯洛卡。 他当然不会离开……不要说他的身体不会被任何病毒感染，就算会，他也不会离开。
那时的他同样陷入了深深的恐惧之中，因为就连水若也已经染上。
站在父母的房门前，他重重的垂下头，在无尽的心痛中自责与忏悔着。
耳边，传来些许轻微的异动，他没有躲避，而是平静心cháo，牵起若若的手，走向了阳台的方向。
一个人影诡异的在阳台上出现，冲到了凌尘的面前，近距离的看着他，感受着来自他的气息，那个人激动的全身发抖，然后猛然跪倒在了他面前，激动的语无伦次：“主人……真……真的是你……真的是你！
凌尘微笑，说道：“是我。 鬼刺，我们在现实世界也有相当一段时间没见了。 这两年你一直守在这里，真是辛苦你了。”
被称作鬼刺的黑衣男子慌忙摇头，激动无比的喊道：“主人在京华发生了那么严重的事……我却一点忙都帮不上，真是该死……不过……太好了，主人你没事……真是太好了，现在所有人都在担心主人的安全，连觉都睡不好，尤其是京华的那些老鬼，疯了一样的寻找着主人……如果大家都知道主人没事，一定会高兴的全部疯过去。”
他知道这些天必然会让鬼牙他们担心不已，但他不能返回京华，也无法联系到鬼牙他们。 他把鬼刺扶起，说道：“去告诉他们我已经没事了，现在和天天一起在中州。”
鬼刺依然激动的全身直哆嗦，对他们来说，没有什么比凌尘安然无恙更好的消息，他从怀中拿出一个微型的通讯器，快速点按了几个号码，然后放到了凌尘的手上：“主人，还是你亲自和他们说比较好，他们已经几天几夜没有合眼，只有听到你的声音，他们才会彻底安心。”
凌尘拿过通讯器，放到了耳边，很快，通讯器接通，对面沉默。
凌尘开口：“鬼牙，是我。”
过了好一会儿，一个因颤抖而被大幅度扭曲的声音传来：“主……主人？”
“嗯，是我，我已经没事了，现在和天天一起在中州……你们，都还好吗？”
对面沉默了许久，然后爆发出鬼牙如疯了一般的咆哮声：“主人！ ！
！” 凌尘听到了混乱的脚步声，惊叫声，门被猛然推开的声音，座椅被狠狠撞倒的声音，甚至有人被撞倒在地的声音……温暖和酸涩的感觉把凌尘的内心塞的满满的，他靠近通讯器，用尽可能平稳的声音说道：“我真的没事了，就连伤也已经好了一半多。
真的是主人！ 千真万确……还有主人身边的天天小妹妹，主人现在看上去jīng神奕奕，一点事都没有。” “是主人！
“主人！ 你没事……太好了，太好了，太好了！”
“……让开，让开点，让我听听主人的声音……快让开。”
“挤你妹啊……主人天神护身，没事是应该的，看你个没出息的，眼泪都下来了！” “靠！
通讯器传来的声音一片混乱，这些平rì里大都是沉寂状态的暗夜死神们一个个都跟疯了一样。 凌尘久久没有说话，握着通讯器的那只手无意识的越来越紧，他越来越明白，那天晚上，他真的是做了一个最错误，最自私的决定。
！ 你们这样还怎么让主人说话！”
鬼牙有着仅次于凌尘的威信，他一声大吼，那边立即安静了下来，只剩下一个个急促的喘息声。 鬼牙这才贴近通讯器，急声说道：“主人，你现在真的没事了吗？
我的自愈能力你们应该最明白。 天天也没事，只是……只是那些天为了救我和照顾我，吃了很多苦。 如果不是天天，我或许……再也见不到你们了。”
凌尘的这句话，让天天在这些暗夜死神们心中的位置瞬间提升到一个极高的高度。
我就知道主人和天天一定吉人天相，哈哈，哈哈哈哈……”心中的沉重巨石彻底落地的鬼牙不断的舒着气，然后忍不住大笑了起来，他这一笑，其他人也全都跟着开怀大笑。 知道了凌尘没事，他们所有的担忧、压力、恐慌也全部消失，这些天几乎将他们都击垮的身体与jīng神劳累，还有身上的大小伤，也都根本不算什么了。
“那天去龙家救我，你们一定也受了很多伤，这些天要好好养伤，不要再劳累什么了。 另外，你们一定要注意安全……这些都是命令。”
“明白。” 鬼牙马上答应。
“现在告诉我，那天晚上……有没有弟兄在龙家出事……一个不少的告诉我。”
凌尘收敛表情，认真的说道。 鬼牙脸上的笑消失，他沉默了许久，才低低的说道：“鹰涯死了，他为了掩护我们撤离，留在了最后，然后引爆了身上的炸弹。
心剧烈的揪痛了一下，他叹了口气，说道：“鬼刀也死了……和鹰涯一样，引爆了身上的炸弹。 死前，应该是他把我交给了冰瑶。”
通讯器里久久沉静，然后传来数声骨骼错位的声音。
“都是我的错，害了他们……都是因为我……”凌尘闭上眼睛，深深的自责着。
主人千万不要这么想！ 能为主人而死，是他们的荣耀，也是他们最甘心，最安心的死法……主人你放心，虫子我们会救出来的，鹰涯和鬼刀的帐，我们也总有一天会十倍、百倍的向龙家讨回来！”

Chapter 344: Their Old Home
The apartment was a normal apartment in a residential building. It was on the second level, on the east side.
The entire apartment was coated with a thick layer of dust. There were some footprints near the door- evidently, some people had come to investigate. Since the Long family had found his real life identity, it was likely that they would have found this place. Ling Chen silently looked around the apartment for a long time. Tian Tian also looked around. She had many questions that she wanted to ask, but seeing Ling Chen so silent and lost in his thoughts, she stayed quiet for the moment.
Apart from all the dust, everything was the same as when they had left. In these 2-3 years, because Shui Ruo couldn’t travel, they hadn’t been able to come back. Ling Chen walked forwards, and looked inside the innermost room…
The bed, wardrobe, table… as well as stuffed toys were all in the exact same places. Ling Chen could almost still smell that familiar fragrance in the air. His vision became hazy, and he could almost see the Shui Ruo from back then dragging him into her room, showing him all her stuffed toys.
Ling Chen pressed the button on the wall, and the lights came on. The electricity hadn’t been cut, and the warm glow of the light illuminated the whole room.
Ling Chen closed his eyes and slowly breathed in and out, before saying, “This was Shui Ruo’s room. Although it’s not as big as the one in Beijing, but she liked this little room so much. She would clean it and organise her things every day. She liked to collect all sorts of stuffed toys, and receiving stuffed toys would make her incredibly happy. Those years, mum and dad gave her a lot, and so did I. Very soon, her room became filled with stuffed toys, but she couldn’t bear to part with any of them. Even now, there are a lot of them in my room. She would say that they’re her good friends who would keep me company in my room.”
Tian Tian’s eyes became a bit red, and she held Ling Chen’s hand as she softly said, “Big brother, don’t be sad, alright? I’ll be obedient in future and I’ll be as good as big sister.”
Ling Chen smiled, and squeezed Tian Tian’s hand.
Opposite Shui Ruo’s room was his own room. It had originally been a study room, but it had been given to him after he joined their family. He remembered that during a big storm, Shui Ruo had run into his room, and jumped into his bed… from then onwards, she would sneak into his room more and more frequently. At first, her parents would scold her and tell her not to do it, but after realising that they simply couldn’t stop her, they could only give in and let her do what she wanted.
Next to theirs, was their mum and dad’s room. Their mum was always gentle and warm, and extremely loving towards her daughter and adopted-son. Their dad had been kind and calm, and saved lives for a living.
Why did such a thing happen to such a wonderful family?
The father had contracted the Isrock Disease, and unknowingly infected the mother and Shui Ruo. After finding out that they had contracted the Isrock Disease, all of their friends and relatives refused to see them anymore. Friendship and family apparently meant nothing in the face of life and death. Their good friends and neighbours would go out of their way to avoid them, and many families living around them all moved. In just a short period of time, this family had been abandoned by the rest of the world.
He could still clearly remember that back then, they had all cried as they begged him to leave. Otherwise, he would also be infected with the Isrock Disease. However, he adamantly refused. After all, he was now immune to the Isrock Disease. Even if he wasn’t, he still wouldn’t leave. At that time, he had also been overcome with fear and grief, because Shui Ruo had been infected. Afterwards, both the mum and dad had both passed away. Before they passed away, they tearfully left Shui Ruo to him.
“Dad… Mum… I couldn’t… properly take care of Ruo Ruo… I…”
Ling Chen’s head hung low as he stood in front of his parents’ room, his heart full of regret and pain.
He detected something outside, but he maintained his calm. He held Tian Tian’s hand and walked towards the balcony.
A person’s figure appeared, and rushed over to Ling Chen. When he got close enough to see Ling Chen properly, his body began to tremble as he knelt down in front of Ling Chen, excitedly saying, “Master… i-it’s really you! You’re alright… thank goodness... thank goodness… I… I…”
Ling Chen smiled as he said “It’s me. Gui Ci, we haven’t met in the real world for a while. Thank you for your hard work, for watching over this place for two years.”
“Not at all, not at all.” The man in black called Gui Ci hurriedly shook his head as he shouted, “Such a terrible thing happened to Master in Beijing… but I wasn’t able to help at all… damnit… however, it’s great that you’re fine, master… right now, everyone’s extremely worried about master, and none of us could sleep at all. Especially those guys in Beijing- they’ve been searching for master like crazy… if everyone knew that master was fine, they’d all be so happy that they’d faint!”
Ling Chen knew that Gui Ya and the others were definitely worried about him, but he couldn’t return to Beijing, nor did he have any means to contact them. He helped Gui Ci up as he said, “Go and tell them that I’m fine, and that I’m in Zhong Zhou with Tian Tian.”
Gui Ci couldn’t help babbling in excitement. To them, there was no better news than Ling Chen being fine. He took out a small communication device from his pocket, quickly dialled some numbers, then put it in Ling Chen’s hands, “Master, it’s better if you talk to them directly. They haven’t slept for many nights, and they’ll only be able to be at ease if you personally talk to them.”
Ling Chen took the communication device and held it to his ear. Very soon, the line was connected, but the other side was silent.
Ling Chen spoke, “Gui Ya, it’s me.”
Ling Chen heard something fall to the ground and shatter. After a while, a trembling voice could be heard, “M… Master?”
“Mm, it’s me. I’m fine, and I’m in Zhong Zhou with Tian Tian… are you all alright?”
The other side went silent for a few moments before he heard Gui Ya screaming, “Master!!! It’s master!!! Everyone, it’s master’s voice!!”
All of a sudden, Ling Chen could hear many sounds: the sound of footsteps rapidly running over, yells of joy, a door being suddenly opened, a chair being flung aside, even people being knocked to the ground… his heart was filled with warmth and gratitude. He leaned closer to the communication device and spoke as clearly and calmly as possible, “I’m fine now, and most of my wounds have healed. I’m with Tian Tian in Zhong Zhou, where we’ll be safe… Gui Ci’s also here with us.”
“That’s right!” Gui Ci yelled out, “It’s master! It’s really master! It’s definitely him… and there’s also little sister Tian Tian. Master looks completely fine right now!”
“It’s master! It’s Gui Ci’s and master’s voices!” “Master… thank goodness you’re fine! This is great, great!!”
“… Oi! Move over, let me hear master’s voice! Move!!”
“Stop squeezing… master’s invincible; of course he’d be fine. Look at you, crying like a baby!”
“Look at you! You’ve got tears streaming down your face as well!” ……………………………… The sounds from the communication device became increasingly chaotic. The serious and cold-hearted deathgods of Dark Night all became like excited children. Ling Chen didn’t say anything as he silently listened. He became more and more convinced that his decision that night had been incorrect, as well as incredibly selfish.
“Enough! Shut the hell up!! How’s master meant to talk with us shouting like this?!”
Gui Ya was ranked directly under Ling Chen. His roar of annoyance caused everyone else to quieten down. Soon, only rapid breathing could be heard. Gui Ya came closer to the communication device as he worriedly asked, “Master, you’re really fine? And Tian Tian is also fine?”
“Mmm, we’re both completely fine. My external injuries have more or less healed, and I should be completely fine in a week. You all know how strong my recovery is. It’s just that… in order to save me, Tian Tian suffered a lot. If it wasn’t for Tian Tian, perhaps… perhaps I wouldn’t be able to see you guys again.” Ling Chen said.
Beside him, Gui Ci looked at Tian Tian with extreme gratitude in his eyes. Ling Chen’s words caused Tian Tian’s position in these deathgods’ hearts to be risen to a new level.
“Tian Tian… is such a fantastic child, and is our benefactor. Whew, it’s great that you’re all fine, thank goodness. I just knew that master and Tian Tian were definitely cared for by the heavens, hahaha…” The huge weight in Gui Ya’s heart had finally lifted, and he felt incredibly happy, and couldn’t help but laugh. This caused a chain reaction as all the other people started to laugh as well. Knowing that Ling Chen was fine, all of their worry, anxiety and fear had instantly disappeared. Compared to their worry for Ling Chen, their injuries were nothing.
“I’m sure you were all hurt quite badly when you went to rescue me from the Long family. Make sure you all take care of your wounds, and don’t tire yourselves out. Also, you have to stay safe… this is an order.” Ling Chen said.
“Roger!” Gui Ya immediately replied.
“Now, tell me, on that night… did any of our brothers or sisters die at the Long family’s residence… tell me everything.” Ling Chen asked in a serious voice.
The smile on Gui Ya’s face disappeared. He stayed silent for a few moments before saying in a low voice, “Ying Ya died. In order to cover us, he stayed to the end, and blew himself up using the explosives on his body. There was also Buggy. Buggy’s legs were heavily injured, and he didn’t want to slow us down, so he leapt towards the Savage Tiger Corps, allowing them to capture him. Right now, he’s in the Xuanyuan family’s prison.”
Ling Chen’s heart ached as he sighed, and said, “Gui Dao also died… like Ying Ya, he used the explosives on his body to blow up the enemies pursuing us. It was probably him who passed me on to Bing Yao.”
The other side of the communication device fell silent.
“It was all my fault; it was I who killed them… it was all because of me…” Ling Chen closed his eyes, as he blamed himself. If it wasn’t for his stupid and selfish actions, they wouldn’t have had to make those sacrifices…
“No! Don’t say that, master! Being able to die for master is our glory. It was the only way they wanted to die… don’t worry master, we’ll definitely save Buggy. We’ll make the Long family pay ten times- no, a hundred times- for Ying Ya and Gui Dao’s deaths!” Gui Ya said as he gnashed his teeth.

He began to observe Duan Ling Tian.\nThis person seemed to be extraordinary, a genius Martial Cultivator from the Mortal Continent just like him.\n“The Early Mortal Shedding Stage defeating the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage… After breaking through to the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage, you defeated two Martial Cultivators at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage.” The way the City Governor of Mound Hill City looked at Duan Ling Tian was completely different now. “Is your name Duan Ling Tian?”\n“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.\n“Duan Ling Tian, if I’m not mistaken, you must not be entirely human?” The City Governor of Mound Hill City asked.\n“Not entirely human?” Duan Ling Tian was stunned.\nNoticing Duan Ling Tian’s reaction, the City Governor of Mound Hill City was certain of his speculation, “It seems like you’re really not entirely human… One of your parents is a Saint Beast, am I right?

To be blunt, he’s a bastard,” Zheng Jian scoffed coldly and said in disdain, “He only managed to defeat people at a higher level because he was fighting trash… If he fights with me, I’m sure I can defeat him in two to three moves.”\nHe glanced at Hou Lin and Zhang Ji Long on purpose as he spoke.\nThe two of them had a drastic change of expression as a hint of rage filled their eyes."

1395.第1395章
电光火石之间，苏柒在空中转过身来，双腿没来由往后一蹬，真气形成的冲击波重重的击在空气间。
！
顿时，一声巨响传开，滚动的冲击波，推着他化作离弦之箭，俯冲而落。 正面迎上了凌云的剑。
一个往上，一个往下，剑芒率先暴涨，刀芒如影随行，狠狠的对轰在一起，犹如两轮烈日在空中争辉。 锵！
！ 轰！
！
刀剑对轰，犹如两轮烈日叠加在一起，然后引爆。
顷刻之间，烈日的光辉肆虐开来，空气间一声气爆，铺天盖地的狂风，席卷向四面八方。
眼看就要将议事厅里面的不少摆设吹翻，关键时刻，天魁卫再次出手，将这浩瀚、滚动的狂风拦了下来。
！” 同一时间，众人只听到一道吐血的声音，却是凌云两人带剑落下之后，单膝跪倒在地，他手中的剑也撑在了地上。
他脸色苍白，口中不停的吐出一口口淤血，狼狈不堪。
与此同时，苏柒稳稳落地，他的脸上隐约有些红润，明显是体内翻涌的气血造成的。
不过，他并没有受伤。
哗！
！
这一幕，令得全场一阵哗然。 同为脱凡境小圆满，仅仅三招，苏柒就击败了先发制人的凌云。
这一刻，除段凌天以外，十三太保中的另外十一人，只觉得自己的那点成就，放在苏柒的面前，根本不值一提。
“不愧是城主大人的弟子。”
闻名不如见面，苏柒的实力，让人心服口服。
“这个苏柒的实力……怕是已经到了脱凡境小圆满巅峰！ 只差一步，应该就能突破到脱凡境大圆满了。”
“三招，我败了。” 凌云服下疗伤丹药，恢复了一些伤势后，面露苦涩的看着丘山城城主说道。
现在，再没有人认为丘山城城主只是给凌云设下一个形式考验……看似形式的考验，凌云并没有通过。
“我再给你一次机会……一个月后，你只要能在苏柒手下坚持三招而不败，我收你为弟子。 现在，回去吧。”
“多谢城主大人！” 听说还有一次机会，凌云一双眸子亮起，立起身来以后，迅速离开了议事厅，回潜龙营修炼去了。
凌云离开以后，众人的目光落在苏柒的身上。
苏柒刚才展现出来的实力，让人震撼。
这时，苏柒也回到了丘山城城主的身后，面容一如先前般冷峻。
“听说十三太保中，有一人也是来自于凡人大陆？” 丘山城城主的目光，在十三太保剩下的十二人身上掠过，问道。
段凌天站了出来。
“城主大人，段凌天刚到潜龙营的第一天，就成为了十三太保中的人物……一个月前，他更是突破到了‘脱凡境后期’，击败了同样突破到脱凡境后期的侯林。” 天魁卫说道。
侯林也在场，听到天魁卫的话，脸色微微沉了下来，双拳随之紧握，身体瑟瑟颤抖。
一个月前的耻辱，他一辈子都忘不了！
“段凌天，我会让你后悔……我一定会让你后悔的！” 侯林盯着段凌天的背影，心里不断的咆哮。
他不是‘脱凡境中期’吗？” 听到天魁卫的话，丘山城城主的眉头皱起。
丘山城城主此话一出，段凌天就知道他的一身修为要暴露了……不过，他并不在意，他又没偷没抢，没必要遮遮掩掩。
“脱凡境中期？” 丘山城城主的话，让得包括天魁卫在内的众人一怔，天魁卫更是低呼一声。
紧接着，他施展精神秘术，探查段凌天的修为。
“不可能！” 而就在这时，却是有两人惊呼出声。
正是一个月前被段凌天击败的侯林，以及昨天才被段凌天击败的张吉龙。
他们和段凌天交过手，知道段凌天实力的强大。
他们无论如何，也不敢相信段凌天的修为只是‘脱凡境中期’。
“侯林不敢！” “张吉龙不敢！”
侯林和张吉龙这才意识到自己的失态，连忙低下了头。
这个时候，包括郭莉在内，十三太保中的十一人，看向段凌天的目光，都也变得彻底不同了。
脱凡境中期，击败脱凡境后期的侯林？
“前几日，郭莉突破到脱凡境后期，击败了同为脱凡境后期的侯林……然后，郭莉败在了突破到脱凡境后期的张吉龙手里。” 这时，十三太保中排名第二的‘金元宝’开口了。
说到后来，金元宝看向段凌天，目光尤为复杂。
昨天，他亲眼目段凌天出手……那个时候，他几乎断定段凌天和他一样，都是脱凡境后期巅峰的存在。
可今天，经过丘山城城主、天魁卫两大‘入圣境强者’的探查……他才知道，段凌天，只是一个‘脱凡境中期武修’。
“段凌天，你……你的修为真的只有脱凡境中期？” 郭莉面露不可思议的问道。
段凌天点头。
“三个月前呢？ 你第一次击败张吉龙的时候，什么修为？” 郭莉再次问道。
郭莉此话一出，包括天魁卫在内，十三太保中的一群人这才想起……三个月前，张吉龙还没突破的时候，段凌天就击败过他。
那个时候，段凌天并没有展现出压倒性的实力，只是以弓箭的优势，略胜张吉龙一筹。
“三个月前……我是‘脱凡境初期’。”
轰！ ！
段凌天此话一出，犹如一石激起千层浪，让得众人再次大惊。
“你的意思是……不管是你当初击败张吉龙，还是击败李寒，成为十三太保中的人物。 那个时候，你只是脱凡境初期武修？”
“嗯。” 段凌天点头。
一时间，在场大多数人看向段凌天的目光，就好像是在看怪物一般。
脱凡境初期，在十三太保中取得一席之地。
简直就是变态！
“哼！ 侯林和张吉龙还真是没用，真是丢我们脱凡境后期武修的脸……连一个区区脱凡境中期的武修都敌不过。” 十三太保中排名第五的‘郑健’，看了侯林和张吉龙一眼，心里讽笑道。
现在，他对战胜段凌天更有信心了。
在击败凌云之后，显得兴致乏然的苏柒，在听到有关段凌天的‘事迹’以后，饶有兴致的打量着段凌天。
这个和他一样，出自凡人大陆的天才武修，似乎很不简单。
“脱凡境初期，横扫脱凡境中期……突破到脱凡境中期后，又接连击败两个脱凡境后期武修。”
“是。”
段凌天点头。 “段凌天，如果我没有猜错的话，你应该不完全是人类吧？” 丘山城城主问道。
“不完全是人类？” 段凌天一怔。
而看到段凌天的反应，丘山城城主更是觉得自己的猜测没错，“看来，你确实不完全是人类……你的父母当中，应该有一人是‘圣兽’吧？
圣兽！
丘山城城主此话一出，所有人的目光齐刷刷落在段凌天的身上。
“只有人类和圣兽结合孕生出来的存在，因为肉身强大，才有可能似你这般越级败敌。” 丘山城城主眼中闪过睿智的光泽，“段凌天，我猜的可对？”
段凌天面露惊容。
他没想到，丘山城城主的眼光竟如此毒辣。
在得知他可以轻而易举的越级败敌后，竟然就猜出他的实力之所以这么强，是和他的肉身有关。
其他人也是大惊。
“原来这段凌天是人类和圣兽结合孕生出来的存在？”
“难怪可以越级败敌……看来他继承了圣兽强大的肉身。”
不少人看向段凌天的时候，眼中流露出几分忌惮。 “哼！
说白了，不就是一个杂种。” 郑健冷哼一声，不屑道：“他能越级败敌，只不过是因为他遇到的都是‘废物’……换作是我，三两招就能败他。”
说到后来，他略有深意的看了侯林和张吉龙两人一眼。
让得后者二人脸色大变，目露怒意。

Chapter 1395 - Savage Eyes
During the critical moment, Su Qi turned around in the air and stomped both his feet suddenly. The shockwave formed by his True Energy hit hard in the air.
Bang!
A loud explosion sounded at this moment. The rumbling shockwave descended at a rapid speed as he shot up like an arrow leaving its bow.
One was going upward while the other was going down. The sword rays that charged out first collided hard with the saber as the saber rays followed it like its shadow. They were like two scorching suns trying to outshine each other in the sky.
Clang!
Bang!
The collision of the saber and the sword was like the explosion of two suns as they collided with one another.
At this very second, the bright ray that was like sunlight shone as an air explosion was set off in the air. An insanely strong wind swept out in all directions.
As the items in the assembly hall were being blown away, the Heavenly Leader Guardian moved again during the critical moment and blocked the majestic and rampant wind.
“Ahh!!” At the same time, everyone heard the sound of someone throwing up blood. Ling Yun was kneeling on one knee, using his sword as support, after both of them had descended from the sky.
He was pale as he spat out mouthful after mouthful of blood. He looked terrible. Whoosh!
At the same time, Su Qi landed steadily on the ground. His cheeks were ruddy. It was obvious that it was caused by the rumbling vital blood in his body.
However, he was not hurt.
Gasp!
Everyone present gasped.
They were both at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage, but Su Qi defeated Ling Yun who had attacked first with merely three hits.
At this very moment, apart from Duan Ling Tian, the eleven Thirteen Gangsters thought their abilities were not worth mentioning at all in front of Su Qi.
‘He’s worthy of being Master City Governor’s disciple,’ many of them exclaimed inwardly.
Knowing someone by his reputation was not as good as meeting them in person. They were thoroughly convinced by Su Qi’s ability now.
‘This Su Qi’s ability… I’m afraid it has already reached the peak of the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage! I think he’s only one step away from breaking through to the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he looked at Su Qi.
Ling Yun had consumed a Healing Medicinal Pill. After he had recovered slightly, he said to the City Governor of Mound Hill City with a bitter expression on his face, “I’m defeated with three hits.”
Currently, no one thought the City Governor of Mound Hill City had given Ling Yun an ideal test… Ling Yun had failed the test that seemed ideal in the beginning.
“I’ll give you another chance… I’ll take you as my disciple if you can endure three hits and stay undefeated by Su Qi a month from now. You may return now,” the City Governor of Mound Hill City said as he looked at Ling Yun.
“Thank you, Master City Governor!” Ling Yun’s eyes lit up upon hearing he would be given another chance. He left the assembly hall immediately after he stood up and returned to the Latent Dragon Camp to cultivate.
After he left, everyone shifted their eyes to Su Qi.
The strength Su Qi had demonstrated earlier had shocked everyone.
At this moment, Su Qi returned to his position behind the City Governor of Mound Hill City. His expression remained as cold as it was earlier.
“I heard someone in the Thirteen Gangsters also came from the Mortal Continent as well?” The City Governor of Mound Hill City asked as he glanced at the remaining twelve Thirteen Gangsters.
“Master City Governor!” Duan Ling Tian stepped forward.
“Master City Governor, Duan Ling Tian became one of the Thirteen Gangsters on the first day of joining the Latent Dragon Camp… He broke through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage a month ago and defeated Hou Lin who’s at the same stage,” the Heavenly Leader Guardian said.
Hou Lin was, naturally, present on the scene. His face turned slightly solemn when he heard the Heavenly Leader Guardian’s words. He clenched his fists tightly as his body shook.
He would never forget the humiliation he had gone through a month ago!
‘Duan Ling Tian, you’ll regret this… I’ll make you regret this!’ Hou Lin stared at Duan Ling Tian’s back and roared in his heart.
“Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage? Aren’t you only at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage?” The City Governor of Mound Hill City said with a frown after he heard what the Heavenly Leader Guardian said.
Duan Ling Tian knew his cultivation base had been exposed after he heard the City Governor of Mound Hill City’s words… However, he did not mind that. There was nothing for him to hide since he did not commit any crime.
The City Governor of Mound Hill City’s words stunned everyone, including the Heavenly Leader Guardian. He exclaimed out loud, “Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage?”
Subsequently, he performed the Spiritual Secret Tactic to check Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base.
At this moment, two people exclaimed out loud, “Impossible!”
It was Hou Lin whom Duan Ling Tian had defeated a month ago, and Zhang Ji Long whom he had defeated just yesterday.
Both of them had fought Duan Ling Tian before so they knew how powerful Duan Ling Tian was.
However, they could not believe Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was only at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage.
“I don’t mean that!” Hou Lin and Zhang Ji Long said.
Hou Lin and Zhang Ji Long realized they had stepped out of line and looked down immediately.
At this moment, the eleven Thirteen Gangsters, including Guo Li, were looking at Duan Ling Tian in a completely different way.
Someone at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage defeated Hou Lin who was at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage?
“A few days ago, Guo Li had broken through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage and defeated Hou Lin who’s at the same level… Later on, Zhang Ji Long who has broken through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage defeated Guo Li,” Jin Yuan Bao who was ranked no.2 in the Thirteen Gangsters said at this moment.
“Just yesterday… Duan Ling Tian defeated Zhang Ji Long in just one blow!” Jin Yuan Bao said. His gaze was complicated when he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
He had witnessed Duan Ling Tian’s fight yesterday… At that time, he was almost certain Duan Ling Tian was the same as him. He thought Duan Ling Tian was also at the peak of the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage.
However, through the check by the City Governor of Mound Hill City and the Heavenly Leader Guardian who were both powerhouses at Saint Rudiment Stage today, he found out that Duan Ling Tian was only a Martial Cultivator at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage.
“Duan Ling Tian is… is your cultivation base really only at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage?” Guo Li asked in disbelief.
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.
“Then how about three months ago? That time when you first defeated Zhang Ji Long, what was your cultivation base back then?” Guo Li asked again.
When Guo Li finished speaking, the remaining Thirteen Gangsters and the Heavenly Leader Guardian recalled that Duan Ling Tian had defeated Zhang Ji Long once before he had broken through three months ago.
Duan Ling Tian did not perform any outstanding ability back then. He had defeated Zhang Ji Long using the advantage of archery.
“Three months ago… I was at the Early Mortal Shedding Stage,” Duan Ling Tian said.
Bang!
It was as though Duan Ling Tian’s words had triggered a thousand waves. He stunned everyone once again.
“Do you mean… You were only at the Early Mortal Shedding Stage when you defeated Zhang Ji Long and Li Han and became one of the Thirteen Gangsters back then?” Guo Li inhaled sharply.
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.
At this moment, most of them looked at Duan Ling Tian as though they were looking at a monster.
He had gotten himself a spot in the Thirteen Gangsters when he was only at the Early Mortal Shedding Stage.
That was insane!
‘Hmph! Hou Lin and Zhang Ji Long are really useless. They really embarrassed us Martial Cultivators at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage… They couldn’t even fight a Martial Cultivator at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage,’ Zheng Jian who was ranked No.5 in the Thirteen Gangsters secretly mocked.
Now he was even more confident in defeating Duan Ling Tian.
“Hmm?” Su Qi who seemed bored after defeating Ling Yun became amused after hearing about Duan Ling Tian and his achievements. He began to observe Duan Ling Tian.
This person seemed to be extraordinary, a genius Martial Cultivator from the Mortal Continent just like him.
“The Early Mortal Shedding Stage defeating the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage… After breaking through to the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage, you defeated two Martial Cultivators at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage.” The way the City Governor of Mound Hill City looked at Duan Ling Tian was completely different now. “Is your name Duan Ling Tian?”
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.
“Duan Ling Tian, if I’m not mistaken, you must not be entirely human?” The City Governor of Mound Hill City asked.
“Not entirely human?” Duan Ling Tian was stunned.
Noticing Duan Ling Tian’s reaction, the City Governor of Mound Hill City was certain of his speculation, “It seems like you’re really not entirely human… One of your parents is a Saint Beast, am I right? It must be a Saint Beast with a powerful physique.”
Saint Beast!
As soon as the City Governor of Mound Hill City finished speaking, everyone looked at Duan Ling Tian.
“Only people like you who are created by a human and a Saint Beast would be so strong due to your powerful physique,” A knowing gleam flashed through the City Governor of Mound Hill City’s eyes. “Duan Ling Tian, did I get it right?”
Duan Ling Tian had shock written all over his face.
He did not expect the City Governor of Mound Hill City would have such savage eyes.
It was surprising that he managed to figure out the reason Duan Ling Tian managed to defeat his opponents who were at a higher level easily was due to his powerful physique.
The others were in shock too.
“So Duan Ling Tian’s the creation of a human and a Saint Beast?”
“No wonder he could defeat opponents who are at a higher level than he is… Seems like he inherited the Saint Beast’s powerful physique.”
Many of them showed fear when they looked at Duan Ling Tian.
“Hmph! To be blunt, he’s a bastard,” Zheng Jian scoffed coldly and said in disdain, “He only managed to defeat people at a higher level because he was fighting trash… If he fights with me, I’m sure I can defeat him in two to three moves.”
He glanced at Hou Lin and Zhang Ji Long on purpose as he spoke.
The two of them had a drastic change of expression as a hint of rage filled their eyes.

"value": "Chapter 561 The Phoenix Descendan\nThe Sky Martial Region was the number one region on the land, only slightly smaller than the top four regions combined. There were numerous top warriors within the region, and some of the rare spirit plants and medicines could be found there as well. According to the rumors, the Undead Tree was right here in the region, although no one really knew where it actually was, not even the Surreal Emperor and the Mysterious Queen. After all, there would always be more unknown things out there than known.\nAfter hearing the Mysterious Queen's suggestion about traveling to the Sky Martial Region, Ye Chen nodded in agreement. There was no reason for him to not go, since even with his power now, it would not be impossible for him to make something for himself.\n\"The Sky Martial Region has quite a complicated situation. After you get there, go to the Phoenix Cry Mountain first.\"\nMysterious Queen could tell that Ye Chen did not want to go for now, so she left that suggestion in the air before waving her right hand and disappearing in a surreal door that she had just created with the space power.\nWaiting until she had left, Murong Zhishui said, \"This Shadowless Poison was created inside our demi demon family. I did not expect to see it be used on my wife…\"\nYe Chen tried to comfort him, \"If sir believes in me, then I will take care of the ingredients for the antidote. Three years of time should be enough.\"\n\"Then I will leave it to you.\"\nThere were quite a lot of ingredients in the making of the antidote, and Murong Zhishui just hoped that Ye Chen could be as lucky as he was for a long time.\n\"Since this thing is finished, then let's get back to the South Rudra Region!\"\nYe Chen had already thought about going to the Sky Martial Region, so he planned to go back home to say goodbye before leaving.\n\"Naturally!\" Murong Zhishui nodded.\nThe leader of the Yellow Dragon Palace, Zhang Zhengguang, had already left a while ago, so Ye Chen and the rest said goodbye to Wang Shi and Yankui. Then, they jumped onto a red eyed flying bird beast and started their trip back to the South Rudra Region.\nHowever, the red eyed bird beast was indeed way slower than Ye Chen's flying puppet. If it were only a couple hundred miles, then it might still be able to travel at a relatively fast speed. However, if it were way more than that, then it would just take too long. Without a choice, Ye Chen took out two flying puppets. Although the latter was only twice as fast, it could also save twice as much time, since the flying puppet did not have to rest at all.\nAfter twenty days, the group had finally arrived back in the Murong family.\n\"Wait until I reach the Sea of Souls Realm. I will come find you in the Sky Martial Region.\"\nMurong Qingcheng knew that the gap between her and Ye Chen was too big. Only by reaching the Sea of Souls Realm could she shorten the gap; otherwise she would only be a burden for Ye Chen if she tagged along with him. But obviously, her potential was not that weak either. Once she managed to train some of her demon power essence, her realm should be able to reach peak level Early Sea of Souls Realm for sure. It would not be impossible to reach the middle rank as well, since the demon power essence was the essence of demon beasts, and each drop of it would contain a huge amount of demon power.\n\"No need to hurry! You should spend more time on stabilizing the cultivation as well. \"\nOf course, Ye Chen knew about her advantages. Once she reached the Sea of Souls Realm, she would be at least at spirit warrior level, which was already very impressive. But, the Sky Martial Region was not an easy-going place, as it was a top spot for top warriors. Therefore, it would be packed with mighty existences.\n\"Yeah!\" Murong Qingcheng pressed her lips together. Although she was not that close with Ye Chen yet, but they were not that far behind. All they needed was more time together.\nTurning his wrist, a cougar flying puppet appeared in front of her, floating in the air. Ye Chen smiled brightly while looking at Murong Qingcheng directly in the eyes, not hiding his emotions at all.\nA blush appeared on her face as Murong Qingcheng's bright eyes were filled with feelings as well. …\nOn the way back to the Sky Martial Nation, Ye Chen took out his dragon balls.\n\"It turns out that the dragon balls can charge themselves. I wonder how long it will take to have them all fully charged.\"\nIt had been one month or so after Ye Chen used his Yellow Dragon Sealing Art for the first time. During this time, the dragon balls seemed to develop its natural color, no longer looking so dimmed.\n\"It is easy to learn the sealing art. But, although it looked so simple for me to take on the Tyrant Fist Master, it was all because of my soul power.\"\nZhang Zhengguang's soul power was nowhere near Ye Chen's. But still, he was able to shock Yao Yifeng to the stage where he could not even fight back. And, Ye Chen's soul power was four to five times stronger than Zhang Zhengguang's soul power. When he sealed up the Tyrant Fist Master's power, he even left some Zhen yuan behind purposely. And it was indeed the gap between them.\nShoo!\nThe flying puppet disappeared in the horizon.\n… The mountains in front slowly expanded. Ye Chen sitting on top saw one of the thirty-six mountains under the Mysterious Martial School.\n\"This time coming to the Sky Martial Region, I guess it will be a long time staying here.\"\nAfter arriving in the South Rudra Region, Ye Chen had spent some time in the family before saying goodbye again to his parents, leaving for the Phoenix Cry Mountain inside the Sky Martial Region.\nLast time, he was in a hurry, so he did not have the time to have a closer look at the mountain. But this time here, he realized that there was a light hint of rawness in this group of mountains. It represented the ancient history of these mountains, which could be traced back to the ancient era.\nChirp!\nA crisp loud bird chirping was heard. Ye Chen's expression changed slightly, as he could feel his blood traveling at a faster speed in his veins.\n\"This bird is…?\"\nYe Chen looked over and could see a giant blue bird in the sky to his side. It had seven or eight meter long wings on the side, and feathers on its head that looked like it was wearing a crown. There were three feathers with different colors from each other and the rest, looking quite majestic.\n\"The decedent of the phoenix…The Blue Phoenix!\" Ye Chen gasped. He had never expected that he would be able to see one of these inside these mountains, since the Blue Phoenix was not a normal beast. Judging by its power, it might be even more powerful than Sun Xiaojin from the water ape race. It was at the top of the top rank within beast race, even equal to the nine-headed snake. It meant that once it reached maturity, it would be at least a top rank 10 beast. Its possibility of reaching the beast king level was extremely high as well.\nPlus, the higher the ranking, the more the battling power it had. With Blue Phoenix's ranking, it would be able to reach beyond any beast at the same rank, including Sun Xiaojin.\nIt was a famous beast even in the ancient era.\nShoo!\nThe Blue Phoenix waved its wings, jumping at Ye Chen while its wings had burning blue flames on them.\nYe Chen was slightly shocked, since this Blue Phoenix in front of him was at rank 9. He did not know why it was running toward him like that.\n\"Are you Ye Chen?\"\nWhen it was ten meters away from Ye Chen, the Blue Phoenix stopped moving forward and a human voice was heard; it was a female.\n\"Indeed!\"\nYe Chen was quite curious. It was not about the beast speaking human language, since he had already seen quite a lot, such as the water apes who looked rather similar to the humankind.\n\"I am the head disciple of the leader, Yan Fengfeng. Nice to meet you!\" The Blue Phoenix said.\n\"Sister Yan.\" Ye Chen greeted with both of his hand held into a fist in front of his chest.\n\"Hehe, follow me! My teacher is waiting for you.\"\nIts tail waved once and then Yan Fengfeng turned around and waved her wings. Her speed was fast like lightning.\n\"Such a fast speed!\"\nYe Chen had pushed his speed to ninety percent before he could finally catch up with that bird. Seeing that it was looking rather relaxed, he knew that the \"bird\" had only used less than half of its power.\nYan Fengfeng wanted to test Ye Chen's speed, so her blue wings vibrated once slightly before shooting out again at a faster speed. She was traveling so fast that her body could no longer be seen.\n\"Sword Light Flying Spell!\" Ye Chen knew that he had to push more. A sharp sword light shot out of his body; it flashed once before shooting out with his body wrapped in it, following right behind Yan Fengfeng.\n\"You have quite a decent speed. It is only slightly more than my half.\" Yan Fengfeng said.\n\"What!\"\nYe Chen was completely shocked. Right then, he had used his fastest movement art, the sword light flying art. His speed had reached no less than twenty times the speed of sound. But, she still said that it was less than half of her speed.\nShe chuckled, \"No need to be surprised. Amongst the young generation here, perhaps I am not even the most powerful one here. But speaking of speed, if I say I should be ranked second, no one would dare to say they are the first. You are only at peak level Early Sea of Souls Realm, but you already have the speed of a master level warrior. It is very impressive.\"\n'I guess I will have to perfect my sword light flying art.'\nEven if she had said so, Ye Chen was still full of thoughts. Having a speed that was twice the current him…it was an almost unimaginable concept. It was almost like being born as a king warrior. Right now, no one under the Life and Death Realm would be able to catch up with Yan Fengfeng. As for his sword light flying art, he could tell that it was a bit outdated now. When he was at Astral Reaching Realm, its speed was almost as fast as his attacking speed. But once he reached the Sea of Souls Realm, its speed stayed the same, and it was not that fast anymore.\nSoon, Ye Chen had followed Yan Fengfeng and arrived at the Mysterious Fantasy Mountain.\n\"You have arrived!\"\nThe voice of Mysterious Queen was heard. Meanwhile, a pulling power covered Yan Fengfeng and him, allowing them to appear immediately on top of the floating mountain.\n\"Senior Yan!\"\nMysterious Queen nodded as she looked over at Ye Chen and said, \"Although you are not my disciple, the old Dragon King and I both already treat you as one. So, it is not that restricted.\"\n\"Fengfeng, this is Ye Chen's first time here in the Sky Martial Region, and there are a lot of rules that he still doesn't know. You take him to the Sky Martial Pavilion and help him leave his name there.\"\n\"Yes! Understood!\" Mei Fengfeng nodded, and the feather crown on her head started to spin.\nSky Martial Pavilion?\nYe Chen indeed could not remember the rules of the region anymore, since there were just way too much information in the Battle Emperor's life. Therefore, all he had was only a part of his memory.\n\"Also, there are a couple of disciples from the school who need to leave their names there as well. I think I will leave them all to you.\"\nShe really appreciated Yan Fengfeng, whom she regarded as almost half a daughter now. When she first came to the Phoenix Cry Mountain, she had not decided to set her school here yet. Only until she had found a Blue Phoenix egg in the deep end of a mountain under the mountain groups in this area had she made up her mind. By using the secret art to incubate the egg, she managed to have Yan Fengfeng.\n\"Teacher, my shapeshifting pellet is about to run out!\" Yan Fengfeng looked at Mysterious Queen with a sad look. The latter smiled, then took out a jade bottle and threw it to her, \"Use it wisely. It is not easy to make these.\"\n\"Thank you, teacher!\"\nYan Fengfeng waved her tails and opened her mouth to take the jade bottle, then opened the lid. She placed a pellet into her mouth before swallowing it.\nWhoo!\nIn the next moment, a blue light shone brightly like the sun.\nOnce it disappeared, the Blue Phoenix was already long gone, and only a beautiful lady in blue robes was standing there. She had a slim body, and beautifully shaped features. An elegant aura was present between her eyebrows, along with a feather crown pattern.\n\"Brother Ye, it's nice to officially meet you.\" Yan Fengfeng in human shape revealed a smile.\n\"Sister Yan, nice to meet you.\" Ye Chen laughed. It was indeed the first time for them to meet each other.\n\"Alright, you guys can go rest now. We will leave tomorrow first thing in the morning.\" Mysterious Queen said."

第五百六十一章
天武域为真灵大陆第一大域，其面积只比四大域群稍小，比单独任何一个域都要大上许多倍，天武域人杰地灵，一些外界罕见的灵草灵药都能在天武域见到，据说不死树就在天武域，可惜没人知道不死树在哪里，虚皇玄后都不知道，毕竟未知的地方还是太多了。
听玄后说让自己去天武域闯闯，叶尘点点头。 天武域是天才圣地，没理由不去，以自己现在的实力，未必闯不出什么名堂来。
“天武域形势复杂，去那里以后，先到凤鸣山来一趟。”
玄后看出叶尘目前不想去，丢下一句话后，右手一拂，走进空间之力构造的虚幻大门内，唰一声，消失的无影无踪。
待玄后离开，慕容止水叹道：“无影毒是我人魔家族研究出来的奇毒，想不到有一天会用在我妻子身上。”
叶尘安慰道：“伯父如果相信我的话，解药的事情由我来解决，三年时间，足够长了。”
“那就拜托了。”
炼制无影毒解药的材料颇多，慕容止水只能希望叶尘的运气一直好。
“此事已了，我们回南卓域吧！”
叶尘已经动了去天武域的念头，准备回去告辞一下。
“自然。” 慕容止水点点头。
黄龙殿殿主张正光早已离开，叶尘一行人和王石岩奎告辞，乘上赤眼凶鸟，启程返回南卓域。
不得不说，赤眼凶鸟的速度委实慢了一点，路程只有几百万里的话。 还能用用，超过几百万里，所huā的时间过于漫长，无奈之下，叶尘把两只飞行傀儡取了出来，飞行傀儡的速度看似只有赤眼凶鸟的一倍多，省去的时间却有两倍多，无它。 飞行傀儡根本不需要休息，无日无夜的飞怎能不快。
二十多天后，一行人回到慕容家族。
“等我晋入灵海境，会去天武域找你的。”
慕容倾城知道，她和叶尘的差距太大。 只有晋入灵海境，才能拉近差距，否则去了也是累赘，不过她的优势也不小，等炼化了一部分魔力精华，境界至少能提升到灵海境初期巅峰，灵海境中期也不是没有可能，要知道魔力精华是妖魔〖体〗内魔力的精华。 每一丝都蕴含大量的魔力本源，受益无穷。
“不急，多巩固一下修为最好。”
叶尘岂会不知慕容倾城的优势，对方一旦跨入灵海境，至少是真人级大能层次，优势很大，但天武域不是其它地方，是天才的圣地。 汇聚了整个大陆的顶尖天才。
“恩。” 慕容倾城抿了抿嘴chún，她和叶尘的关系虽然还没有达到亲密无间的地步，却也不远了，只差多多相处。
“这飞行傀儡交给你，以后少不了它。” 手腕一翻，豹形飞行傀儡浮现而出，漂浮在两人之间的半空中。
脸上浮起一丝红晕，慕容倾城明媚的眼睛里带着含蓄的情意。
回天风国的途中，叶尘取出龙珠。
“原来龙珠的力量会自动补充。 不知道什么时候能补满？”
距离第一次施展黄龙封禁**已经过去一个多月，这一个多月中，龙珠渐渐恢复了sè彩，不再黯然失sè。
“黄龙封禁**入手简单，精通极难，对付霸拳宗看似轻轻松松，其实是我的灵hún力足够强的原因。”
张正光的灵hún力远远不及叶尘，却能够让姚一峰毫无还手之力，而叶尘的灵hún力是张正光的四五倍，封禁霸拳宗的时候，还让对方留下一丝真元，这就是差距，而且不是一般的大。
嗖！
飞行傀儡消失在天边。
前方无穷无尽的山脉逐渐放大，盘坐在飞行傀儡之上，叶尘看到了玄宗下三十六峰之一的火云峰。
“这次来天武域，只怕会是很长的一段时间。”
回到南卓域，叶尘在家族里稍稍呆了一些天，便和父母再次告辞，启程前往天武域凤鸣山。
上次来的匆忙，叶尘没有好好观察凤鸣山，这次来才发现，凤鸣山山脉中夹杂着淡淡的蛮荒之气，这蛮荒之气代表凤鸣山山脉历史十分悠久，能追溯到上古时代。
啾！
清丽嘹亮的鸟啼声响起，叶尘神sè微微一动，感觉血液的流速加快了。
“这鸟？”
叶尘定睛望去，能看到火云峰侧面的天空中，有一只青sè大鸟在翱翔，大鸟翼长七八米，头上顶着一簇如同王冠般的羽毛，尾后也有着三根与众不同的三sè羽毛，颇有鸟中之王的气势。
“凤凰后裔——青凤！” 叶尘倒吸一口冷气，他实在没想到，会在凤鸣山山脉见到青凤，青凤不是普通的妖兽，论资质，还要超过水猿一族的孙小金，是上品最顶尖的资质，和九头蛇相等，也就是说，一旦成年，至少是十级顶尖妖兽，成为妖王的可能xìng十分大。
而且，妖兽的资质越高，战力越强，以青凤的资质，足以横扫任何同级别妖兽，包括孙小金。
这是一头在上古时代都有着赫赫威名的妖兽。
唰！
青凤翅膀一扇，朝着叶尘扑来，羽冠上燃烧着青sè的火焰。
叶尘神sè一凛，这青凤的级别高达九级，不知道朝他这边掠来有何目的。
“你是叶尘？”
临近数十米时，青凤陡然止住去势，口吐人言，是女人的声音。
“正是！”
叶尘有点古怪，口吐人言的妖兽不是没见过，水猿一族便是，但水猿一族近似人类，会说话不稀奇。
“我是宗主的大弟子燕凤凤，多多指教。” 青凤说道。
“原来是燕师姐。” 叶尘双手抱拳。
“呵呵，跟我来吧！ 师父在等你。”
尾巴一摆，燕凤凤转过身，扇动双翅，速度快如极光。
“好快的速度！”
叶尘把速度提升到九成，才勉强追上对方，看对方轻松的样子，估计才发挥出一半的速度。
燕凤凤有心要试试叶尘的速度，青sè双翅微微一颤，速度再次jī增，快的连实体都没有了。
“剑光飞行术！” 叶尘咬了咬牙，体外迸发出凌厉的剑光，剑光一闪，带着他的身体疾掠出去，紧追在燕凤凤身后。
“速度不错，勉强赶得上我一半。” 燕凤凤口出惊言。
“什么！”
叶尘大吃一惊，此刻他连剑光飞行术都施展出了，速度不在二十倍音速以下，居然只有对方一半的速度，还勉强！
燕凤凤笑道：“不要惊讶，在天武域青年一辈中，论实力我或许不是最强的，但说到速度，我说第二，没人敢认第一，你只是灵海境初期巅峰修为，就有着宗师级的速度，已经很厉害了。”
“看来得完善一下剑光飞行术了。”
哪怕对方如此说，叶尘也颇为感慨，速度比他快一倍，这是什么概念，相当于天生立于不败之地，生死境王者之下，估计没有人能追上燕凤凤，至于剑光飞行术在自己看来有点过时了，星极境层次时，剑光飞行术的速度直追攻击速度，但是到了灵海境，剑光飞行术距离攻击速度差很远，毕竟当初创造剑光飞行术时，自己只是星极境修为。
不一会儿功夫，叶尘随着燕凤凤来到玄妙峰。
“你们来了！”
玄后的声音响起，与此同时，一股牵引力量笼罩住他和燕凤凤，使得他们直接出现在玄妙峰上空的悬浮山峰上。
“燕前辈！”
“师父。” 玄后点点头，看向叶尘道：“你虽然不是我弟子，但我和老龙王都把你当弟子看待，不要太过拘束。”
“承méng燕前辈看重。” “凤凤，叶尘初来天武域，一些规矩不太清楚，你带他去天武阁，在那里留下姓名。”
“是！” 燕凤凤点了点头，羽冠青火流转。
天武阁？
叶尘的确不太清楚天武域的规矩，战王一生的信息太过庞大，所以他只是有一部分战王的记忆而已。
“另外，这次我玄宗尚有几名弟子要去天武阁烙印姓名，都交给你带领了。”
玄后对燕凤凤十分看重，说起来，燕凤凤可以算得上她半个女儿，她早年来到凤鸣山山脉时，并没有把宗门定在这里，直到在凤鸣山山脉地底深处寻到一枚青凤蛋，利用秘法孵化青凤蛋，才有了燕凤凤。
燕凤凤眼巴巴的看着玄后。 玄后莞尔一笑，mō出一支玉瓶扔给她“省着点用，这化形丹炼制不容易。”
“多谢师父！”
燕凤凤摆了摆尾巴，张口衔住玉瓶，瓶塞打开，一枚滚圆的丹药落入嘴里，吞了下去。
嗡！
青光如太阳，绽放而起。
待青光散去，原地哪里还有青凤的身影，只有一个身穿青衣的妙龄女子，她体态轻盈，五官精致，眉宇间有着逼人的高贵气质，额头〖中〗央则是一团羽冠图纹，有青sè的火苗燃烧。
“叶师弟，初次见面。” 化为人形的燕凤凤面lù微笑。
“燕师姐，初次见面。” 叶尘笑了笑，人形状态下，两人的确是初次见面。
“好了，你们先下去，明天可以出发了。” 玄后道。

Chapter 561 The Phoenix Descendan
The Sky Martial Region was the number one region on the land, only slightly smaller than the top four regions combined. There were numerous top warriors within the region, and some of the rare spirit plants and medicines could be found there as well. According to the rumors, the Undead Tree was right here in the region, although no one really knew where it actually was, not even the Surreal Emperor and the Mysterious Queen. After all, there would always be more unknown things out there than known.
After hearing the Mysterious Queen's suggestion about traveling to the Sky Martial Region, Ye Chen nodded in agreement. There was no reason for him to not go, since even with his power now, it would not be impossible for him to make something for himself.
"The Sky Martial Region has quite a complicated situation. After you get there, go to the Phoenix Cry Mountain first."
Mysterious Queen could tell that Ye Chen did not want to go for now, so she left that suggestion in the air before waving her right hand and disappearing in a surreal door that she had just created with the space power.
Waiting until she had left, Murong Zhishui said, "This Shadowless Poison was created inside our demi demon family. I did not expect to see it be used on my wife…"
Ye Chen tried to comfort him, "If sir believes in me, then I will take care of the ingredients for the antidote. Three years of time should be enough."
"Then I will leave it to you."
There were quite a lot of ingredients in the making of the antidote, and Murong Zhishui just hoped that Ye Chen could be as lucky as he was for a long time.
"Since this thing is finished, then let's get back to the South Rudra Region!"
Ye Chen had already thought about going to the Sky Martial Region, so he planned to go back home to say goodbye before leaving.
"Naturally!" Murong Zhishui nodded.
The leader of the Yellow Dragon Palace, Zhang Zhengguang, had already left a while ago, so Ye Chen and the rest said goodbye to Wang Shi and Yankui. Then, they jumped onto a red eyed flying bird beast and started their trip back to the South Rudra Region.
However, the red eyed bird beast was indeed way slower than Ye Chen's flying puppet. If it were only a couple hundred miles, then it might still be able to travel at a relatively fast speed. However, if it were way more than that, then it would just take too long. Without a choice, Ye Chen took out two flying puppets. Although the latter was only twice as fast, it could also save twice as much time, since the flying puppet did not have to rest at all.
After twenty days, the group had finally arrived back in the Murong family.
"Wait until I reach the Sea of Souls Realm. I will come find you in the Sky Martial Region."
Murong Qingcheng knew that the gap between her and Ye Chen was too big. Only by reaching the Sea of Souls Realm could she shorten the gap; otherwise she would only be a burden for Ye Chen if she tagged along with him. But obviously, her potential was not that weak either. Once she managed to train some of her demon power essence, her realm should be able to reach peak level Early Sea of Souls Realm for sure. It would not be impossible to reach the middle rank as well, since the demon power essence was the essence of demon beasts, and each drop of it would contain a huge amount of demon power.
"No need to hurry! You should spend more time on stabilizing the cultivation as well. "
Of course, Ye Chen knew about her advantages. Once she reached the Sea of Souls Realm, she would be at least at spirit warrior level, which was already very impressive. But, the Sky Martial Region was not an easy-going place, as it was a top spot for top warriors. Therefore, it would be packed with mighty existences.
"Yeah!" Murong Qingcheng pressed her lips together. Although she was not that close with Ye Chen yet, but they were not that far behind. All they needed was more time together.
Turning his wrist, a cougar flying puppet appeared in front of her, floating in the air. Ye Chen smiled brightly while looking at Murong Qingcheng directly in the eyes, not hiding his emotions at all.
A blush appeared on her face as Murong Qingcheng's bright eyes were filled with feelings as well. …
On the way back to the Sky Martial Nation, Ye Chen took out his dragon balls.
"It turns out that the dragon balls can charge themselves. I wonder how long it will take to have them all fully charged."
It had been one month or so after Ye Chen used his Yellow Dragon Sealing Art for the first time. During this time, the dragon balls seemed to develop its natural color, no longer looking so dimmed.
"It is easy to learn the sealing art. But, although it looked so simple for me to take on the Tyrant Fist Master, it was all because of my soul power."
Zhang Zhengguang's soul power was nowhere near Ye Chen's. But still, he was able to shock Yao Yifeng to the stage where he could not even fight back. And, Ye Chen's soul power was four to five times stronger than Zhang Zhengguang's soul power. When he sealed up the Tyrant Fist Master's power, he even left some Zhen yuan behind purposely. And it was indeed the gap between them.
Shoo!
The flying puppet disappeared in the horizon.
… The mountains in front slowly expanded. Ye Chen sitting on top saw one of the thirty-six mountains under the Mysterious Martial School.
"This time coming to the Sky Martial Region, I guess it will be a long time staying here."
After arriving in the South Rudra Region, Ye Chen had spent some time in the family before saying goodbye again to his parents, leaving for the Phoenix Cry Mountain inside the Sky Martial Region.
Last time, he was in a hurry, so he did not have the time to have a closer look at the mountain. But this time here, he realized that there was a light hint of rawness in this group of mountains. It represented the ancient history of these mountains, which could be traced back to the ancient era.
Chirp!
A crisp loud bird chirping was heard. Ye Chen's expression changed slightly, as he could feel his blood traveling at a faster speed in his veins.
"This bird is…?"
Ye Chen looked over and could see a giant blue bird in the sky to his side. It had seven or eight meter long wings on the side, and feathers on its head that looked like it was wearing a crown. There were three feathers with different colors from each other and the rest, looking quite majestic.
"The decedent of the phoenix…The Blue Phoenix!" Ye Chen gasped. He had never expected that he would be able to see one of these inside these mountains, since the Blue Phoenix was not a normal beast. Judging by its power, it might be even more powerful than Sun Xiaojin from the water ape race. It was at the top of the top rank within beast race, even equal to the nine-headed snake. It meant that once it reached maturity, it would be at least a top rank 10 beast. Its possibility of reaching the beast king level was extremely high as well.
Plus, the higher the ranking, the more the battling power it had. With Blue Phoenix's ranking, it would be able to reach beyond any beast at the same rank, including Sun Xiaojin.
It was a famous beast even in the ancient era.
Shoo!
The Blue Phoenix waved its wings, jumping at Ye Chen while its wings had burning blue flames on them.
Ye Chen was slightly shocked, since this Blue Phoenix in front of him was at rank 9. He did not know why it was running toward him like that.
"Are you Ye Chen?"
When it was ten meters away from Ye Chen, the Blue Phoenix stopped moving forward and a human voice was heard; it was a female.
"Indeed!"
Ye Chen was quite curious. It was not about the beast speaking human language, since he had already seen quite a lot, such as the water apes who looked rather similar to the humankind.
"I am the head disciple of the leader, Yan Fengfeng. Nice to meet you!" The Blue Phoenix said.
"Sister Yan." Ye Chen greeted with both of his hand held into a fist in front of his chest.
"Hehe, follow me! My teacher is waiting for you."
Its tail waved once and then Yan Fengfeng turned around and waved her wings. Her speed was fast like lightning.
"Such a fast speed!"
Ye Chen had pushed his speed to ninety percent before he could finally catch up with that bird. Seeing that it was looking rather relaxed, he knew that the "bird" had only used less than half of its power.
Yan Fengfeng wanted to test Ye Chen's speed, so her blue wings vibrated once slightly before shooting out again at a faster speed. She was traveling so fast that her body could no longer be seen.
"Sword Light Flying Spell!" Ye Chen knew that he had to push more. A sharp sword light shot out of his body; it flashed once before shooting out with his body wrapped in it, following right behind Yan Fengfeng.
"You have quite a decent speed. It is only slightly more than my half." Yan Fengfeng said.
"What!"
Ye Chen was completely shocked. Right then, he had used his fastest movement art, the sword light flying art. His speed had reached no less than twenty times the speed of sound. But, she still said that it was less than half of her speed.
She chuckled, "No need to be surprised. Amongst the young generation here, perhaps I am not even the most powerful one here. But speaking of speed, if I say I should be ranked second, no one would dare to say they are the first. You are only at peak level Early Sea of Souls Realm, but you already have the speed of a master level warrior. It is very impressive."
'I guess I will have to perfect my sword light flying art.'
Even if she had said so, Ye Chen was still full of thoughts. Having a speed that was twice the current him…it was an almost unimaginable concept. It was almost like being born as a king warrior. Right now, no one under the Life and Death Realm would be able to catch up with Yan Fengfeng. As for his sword light flying art, he could tell that it was a bit outdated now. When he was at Astral Reaching Realm, its speed was almost as fast as his attacking speed. But once he reached the Sea of Souls Realm, its speed stayed the same, and it was not that fast anymore.
Soon, Ye Chen had followed Yan Fengfeng and arrived at the Mysterious Fantasy Mountain.
"You have arrived!"
The voice of Mysterious Queen was heard. Meanwhile, a pulling power covered Yan Fengfeng and him, allowing them to appear immediately on top of the floating mountain.
"Senior Yan!"
Mysterious Queen nodded as she looked over at Ye Chen and said, "Although you are not my disciple, the old Dragon King and I both already treat you as one. So, it is not that restricted."
"Fengfeng, this is Ye Chen's first time here in the Sky Martial Region, and there are a lot of rules that he still doesn't know. You take him to the Sky Martial Pavilion and help him leave his name there."
"Yes! Understood!" Mei Fengfeng nodded, and the feather crown on her head started to spin.
Sky Martial Pavilion?
Ye Chen indeed could not remember the rules of the region anymore, since there were just way too much information in the Battle Emperor's life. Therefore, all he had was only a part of his memory.
"Also, there are a couple of disciples from the school who need to leave their names there as well. I think I will leave them all to you."
She really appreciated Yan Fengfeng, whom she regarded as almost half a daughter now. When she first came to the Phoenix Cry Mountain, she had not decided to set her school here yet. Only until she had found a Blue Phoenix egg in the deep end of a mountain under the mountain groups in this area had she made up her mind. By using the secret art to incubate the egg, she managed to have Yan Fengfeng.
"Teacher, my shapeshifting pellet is about to run out!" Yan Fengfeng looked at Mysterious Queen with a sad look. The latter smiled, then took out a jade bottle and threw it to her, "Use it wisely. It is not easy to make these."
"Thank you, teacher!"
Yan Fengfeng waved her tails and opened her mouth to take the jade bottle, then opened the lid. She placed a pellet into her mouth before swallowing it.
Whoo!
In the next moment, a blue light shone brightly like the sun.
Once it disappeared, the Blue Phoenix was already long gone, and only a beautiful lady in blue robes was standing there. She had a slim body, and beautifully shaped features. An elegant aura was present between her eyebrows, along with a feather crown pattern.
"Brother Ye, it's nice to officially meet you." Yan Fengfeng in human shape revealed a smile.
"Sister Yan, nice to meet you." Ye Chen laughed. It was indeed the first time for them to meet each other.
"Alright, you guys can go rest now. We will leave tomorrow first thing in the morning." Mysterious Queen said.

"value": "Chapter 286: Search\nIn Flame Phoenix Villa within the border of Light Empire, Vermilion Bird, Jade Maiden, Black Tortoise and Little Yu, these four were in the process of comfortably bathing within the hot spring behind the villa.\nAt this time, the complexion of Little Yu suddenly changed. Then she covered her chest and gave out a suffering groan, with cold sweats flowing down her face.\n“Little Yu, what happened?” Seeing the unusual condition of Little Yu, Black Tortoise immediately got up, revealing her matchlessly beautiful body, then came over to the side of Little Yu and asked in concern.\nJade Maiden and Vermilion Bird also hastily came over, and looked at Little Yu with concern across their face. One might well say that this Little Yu was Ren Tianyou’s heart treasure, so if something happened to her, then only God will know what terrifying thing Ren Tianyou might end up doing.\n“I…I am suddenly feeling a great pain in my chest, this feeling of heartache, as if I am about to lose something very precious.” Little Yu said with suffering expression. Just now she suddenly felt unprecedented emptiness inside her heart, as if she lost something very precious to her. This feeling made her feel very frightened.\n“What precious thing? Little Yu, aren’t you getting physically uncomfortable with some illusion ah?” Hearing Little Yu, Vermilion Bird confusedly asked.\n“No, it can’t be……I’m sure my feeling is not wrong, this feeling came from deep inside my heart.” Little Yu shook her head and said with certainty. “But my most precious thing is……”\nThinking this, the complexion of Little Yu suddenly changed, then she anxiously said to Vermilion Bird, “Definitely is Idiot, Idiot must have met with an accident, absolutely him, elder sister Vermilion Bird, quickly take out our Fire of Life, and take a look at Idiot, his Fire of Life.”\n“Little Yu, aren’t you thinking too much? You should know that with Zero’s strength, there are only very few experts who are able to injure him.” Seeing the anxiousness of Little Yu, Jade Maiden doubtfully said.\nAnd Vermilion Bird also want to speak, but seeing that anxious expression of Little Yu, she had no choice but to do what she had said. Golden phoenix flame appeared on her right hand, then along with the flashing of her Vermilion Bird ring, suddenly ten huge fire ball flew out and floated in front of everyone.\nThese ten fire balls were currently glimmering with huge flame. Each fire ball had a single word, Vermilion, Jade, Black, White…..individually representing the member of Akatsuki organization. But right now the fire ball with the word ‘Zero’ however was a lot dimmer compared to other nine fire balls, and it seemed it would go out at any time.\nThese ten fireballs were Fire of Life created by Vermilion Bird using the secret magic of Flame Phoenix Villa to integrate everybody’s aura. By looking at this Fire of Life, one could easily know the state of said person.\nFor instance, the fireballs of Vermilion Bird and others were glimmering with huge flame, which represent their life-force was vigorous. But the fireball of Ren Tianyou which looked as if it would go out any second represents right now he was already injured severely, and was in the state of his life hanging in the balance. And the extinguishing of these Fire of Life represent, that person is already dead.\n“This…how can this be?” Seeing the unusual condition of Ren Tianyou’s Fire of Life, Jade Maiden muttered in disbelief.\n“Don’t stare blankly, immediately issue urgent call-up order, and immediately go to the mountain where Ren Tianyou was last seen.” Vermilion Bird immediately reacted, then waving her right hand, she pulled her clothing and jumped out of hot spring while wearing her clothing in midair.\nAnd Little Yu and others also immediately reacted. They also jumped out of hot spring and quickly wore their clothing. After that without bidding farewell to the people of Villa, Vermillion Bird summoned her Golden Winged Phoenix, and after Jade Maiden and others also jumped on the back of the Phoenix, they changed into flame and flew towards the distant horizon in a high speed.\nAnd seeing the hastily leaving figures of Jade Maiden and others, the Villa Mistress of Flame Phoenix Villa Feng Yunmeng only sighed, then return to the room.\nOn a mountain at the border of Ailer Empire, this moment eight people wearing black robe with red clouds imprinted on it could be seen. And they seemed to be searching something.\n“Jade Maiden, how was it, did you find anything?” Seeing Jade maiden had finished using her magic, White Tiger asked.\n“No, I look back upon the time of this mountain, but didn’t find any trace of Zero. I only saw Zero using space magic to leave this place after he separated from them.” Jade Maiden shook her head and said anxiously.\n“There is no trace of fighting nearby. With the strength of Zero we know, coupled with his space magic, there are very few people in this entire continent that could stop Ren Tianyou from using space magic to leave.” After looking around, Great Bear slowly said.\n“But that increase the difficulty of searching. With Zero’s space magic, his whereabouts is erratic, so it is very difficult to find him.” Black Tortoise said with grim complexion.\n“No matter how difficult, even if we had to turn the entire continent upside down, we must find him. Don’t forget he is our leader.” Jade Maiden walked over and firmly said.\nAt this time, wind breaking sound came from behind them. And without turning back, White Tiger said, “You are late.”\nSouthern Dipper Bu Feng noiselessly landed on the ground, and said, “Sorry, I search the surrounding of 100 li around here, and finally find a trace.” Finished speaking, Bu Feng took out special kunai with Hiraishin mark.\n“This is Little You’s Hiraishin kunai.” Seeing this familiar kunai, Black Tortoise immediately said happily. Then looking towards Bu Feng she asked, “Where did you find it?”\n“This kunai was hung up on one tree of the small forest outside Tianlong City,” Southern Dipper tossed this kunai towards Azure Dragon i.e. his sweetheart Fang Qian.\n“Zero ought to have met with mishap in Tianlong city. But Ximen clan of the city is already razed to the ground, and other force within Tianlong city are not capable enough to injure Zero.” White Tiger confusedly said.\n“Yes, I specially looked all over Tianlong city, but I didn’t find any trace of Zero there. Furthermore there was no trace of any battle there.” Southern Dipper said while nodding his head. “Moreover I don’t think there is anyone in this world that is capable enough to directly deal mortal injury without giving Zero any chance to resist.”\n“Then what should we do? Is this clue useless?” Little Yu anxiously said.\n“No, this kunai is more than enough.” Southern Dipper shook his head, “If my guess is not wrong, then this kunai ought to be latest item of Ren Tianyou in our hand, so it might still have the aura of Zero.”\n“So I just brought it back to let Little Qian find the final place Zero had left for.”\n“Azure Dragon……?” Everyone confusedly looked towards Azure Dragon.\n“Yes! Little Qian, before she had stayed at Light Temple for few years as Holy Maiden, and as a Holy Maiden of Light Temple, she could study many secret magic of Light Temple. Among them, there was Great Holy Light Heavenly Search Technique.”\n“This Great Holy Light Heavenly Search Technique can find the trace of the said person relying on the aura of said person left behind in his/her items. But the success rate of this technique however depends upon the aura of said person left behind in the item left behind. So I brought back this kunai.”\n“Is that for real Azure Dragon?” Little Yu asked while looking at Azure Dragon with expectation.\n“I will try my best.” Azure Dragon said with uncertainty, as she herself was not confident. After that holding the kunai with her right hand, she sat cross-legged, and began to chant incantation. Along with her incantation, suddenly holy light pillar suddenly descended from the sky and surrounded her body.\nAfter this holy light pillar descended, suddenly an aura which couldn’t be seen with naked eyes emerged from this kunai. And nearly after five minutes, Azure Dragon suddenly opened her eyes, and the holy light pillar also disappeared.\n“At Ka Li Si city, Supreme Light Academy!”"

第二百八十六章
在光明帝国境内的凤炎山庄当中，朱雀、玉女、玄武还有小语四人正在山庄后面的温泉之内舒服的泡着澡。
就在此时，小语的脸色突然变了，右手捂着白芷的胸口发出一声痛苦的呻吟之声，脸上流下一丝丝豆大的冷汗。
“小语，你怎么了？” 看到小语突然的异状，玄武立刻站起身来，露出一副绝美的娇躯，来到小语的身边关心的问道。
而玉女和朱雀也赶紧走了过来，一脸关心的表情望着小语。 这小语可谓任天佑的心头宝贝，如果她出了什么事情，谁知道任天佑会发什么疯做出什么恐怖的事情来。
“我......我突然感觉到心口好痛，是心痛的感觉，好像自己即将失去什么珍贵的东西一样。” 小语面色痛苦的说道，就在刚刚，她突然感觉到自己的心里面突然感觉到一阵前所未有的空档感，好像要失去什么珍贵的东西一样，这种感觉让她感到害怕和恐惧。
“什么珍贵的东西？ 小语你是不是身体不舒服才有的错觉啊。”
听到小语那前不着店的话，朱雀面色疑惑的说道。 “不，不是的......我敢肯定我的感觉没有错，这种感觉深深的在我心里面。”
想到这里，小语的脸色突然着急的对着朱雀说道，“肯定是笨蛋。 一定是笨蛋出事了，绝对是他，朱雀姐姐你赶紧拿出我们十人的生命之火看看笨蛋他的。”
“我说小语你是不是想多了，你要明白以零的实力这个大陆之上能够伤到他的还没有几个。” 玉女看着小语面色着急的表情，不确定的说道。
而朱雀也想要说什么，但是看到小语那着急的表情，只好深处右手泛起一股金色的凤凰火焰，一抹右手代表朱雀之位的戒指，只见在她的前面突然飞出了十道巨大的火团漂浮在众人的面前。
只见在面前的十道巨大的火团正闪烁着一股巨大的火焰，每道火团之上浮现着一个字，朱、玉、玄、白........分别代表着晓组织的众人，而此时在那道浮现着零字的火团。 却要比其它九道火团暗淡了许多。
好像随时都要会熄灭了一样。 这十道火团乃是朱雀利用凤炎山庄的秘法结合众人的气息制造出来的生命之火。 通过观察这生命之火就可以知道这个人的状态。
像朱雀她们几个的火团闪烁着巨大的火光，代表着她们生命力旺盛，而任天佑那样快要熄灭的样子。 代表着他此时已经是身受重伤、生命垂危的状态，而如果生命之火熄灭，那么就代表这个人已经死亡了。
看着任天佑生命之火的异状，玉女面带不可思议的神色喃喃自语道。
“不要发呆了，立刻在组织内发出紧急召集令，召集其他人立刻前往南斗在最后时刻见到任天佑的山头。” 朱雀却立刻反应了过来，一挥右手把石台上的衣服拉了过来，跳出温泉披在了身上。
而小语三人也立刻反应过来，立刻飞出了温泉，披上了衣物，顾不得和山庄之内的人道别，朱雀立刻召唤出了金翼凤凰招呼众女跳上凤凰的背上化作一道火光朝着远处的天空急速飞去。
而凤炎山庄的庄主凤云梦看着众女急忙离开的身影，低下秀额叹息了一声然后就回到了房间当中。
在艾勒儿帝国之内边境的一座山头之上，此时只见九个身穿红云黑袍的人影站在山头之上好像搜索着什么。
“玉女，怎么样，有没有什么发现？” 白虎看着远处刚刚收完法术的玉女开口问道。
“没有，这座山头之内我都做了时间回溯，但是却没有发现零的踪迹，只看到零当时和南斗他们两个分开只好直接利用空间法术离开这个地方。” 玉女摇了摇头，面带着急的说道。
“这里附近并没有战斗的痕迹，零的实力我们也知道，而且他还会空间法术，这个大陆上真正能够留下零的人还真没有几个。” 旁边的北斗望着四周缓缓额说道。
“可是这也为我们加大了搜索的难度，零他会空间法术，行踪飘忽不定，我们要想找到他真的很难。” 玄武面色冷酷的说道。
“不管再难，即使把大陆都给翻过来我们也要找到他。 不要忘了他可是我们所有人唯一的首领。”
就在此时，众人身后响起一道风声，白虎头也不回的开口说到，“你来晚了。”
只见南斗步风双手抱在胸前在众人身后无声的落在地面上，“抱歉，我把这里方圆百里的地面搜索了一边，终于发现了一丝踪迹。”
“这是小佑的飞雷神苦无。” 看到这把熟悉的苦无，玄武顿时面带喜色的说道，然后望向步风，“你是在哪里找到的。”
“天龙城的城外一座小树林当中的一颗树木之上挂着这把苦无。” 南斗把这把苦无扔给了青龙也就是他的心爱之人方倩。
“那零应该在天龙城出事的了，可是城内的西门家族早都被夷为平地了，凭借天龙城其它的势力应该还伤不了零的。” 白虎奇怪的说道。
“不错，我特意跑了一趟天龙城，但是在城内我没有发现零的任何踪迹，而且也没有任何战斗的痕迹。” 南斗点了点头肯定的说道，“我不相信这个世界上有人能够让零没有任何的反抗力量直接把他打的生命垂危。”
小语语气着急的说道。 “不，只要有这把苦无就好。”
南斗摇了摇头，“这把苦无如果我没有猜错的话应该是我们手里面零最后留下的一件物品，而上面关于零的气息也保存的最好。”
“所以我才把这把苦无带回来，让小倩她来找到零最后离开的地方。”
“青龙......？”
众人疑惑的望向青龙。 “不错，小倩她以前在光明圣殿做过几年的圣女，这光明圣殿的秘法她可学了不少，其中就包括大圣光天寻术！”
“这大圣光天寻之术可以凭借一个人留下的物品，凭借上面残留的气息追踪出这个人的下落，但是这个术却又成功率的，气息保存越好的物品成功率越大。 所以我才把这把苦无带了回来。”
“真的可以吗青龙？” 小语面带期望的望着青龙，双眼当中充满了期盼。
青龙不确定的说了一句，她也没有多大的把握。 然后她盘腿坐在地面上，右手拿着那把苦无，嘴角缓缓的吟唱起一股咒语，只见随着咒语响起，天空当中突然落下一道巨大的圣光之柱包围住她的身体。
随着圣光的落下，在这把苦无之上顿时浮现出一股肉眼根本看不到的气息。 大约过了五分钟之后，青龙顿时睁开眼睛，天空上的圣光也消失不见。

Chapter 286: Search
In Flame Phoenix Villa within the border of Light Empire, Vermilion Bird, Jade Maiden, Black Tortoise and Little Yu, these four were in the process of comfortably bathing within the hot spring behind the villa.
At this time, the complexion of Little Yu suddenly changed. Then she covered her chest and gave out a suffering groan, with cold sweats flowing down her face.
“Little Yu, what happened?” Seeing the unusual condition of Little Yu, Black Tortoise immediately got up, revealing her matchlessly beautiful body, then came over to the side of Little Yu and asked in concern.
Jade Maiden and Vermilion Bird also hastily came over, and looked at Little Yu with concern across their face. One might well say that this Little Yu was Ren Tianyou’s heart treasure, so if something happened to her, then only God will know what terrifying thing Ren Tianyou might end up doing.
“I…I am suddenly feeling a great pain in my chest, this feeling of heartache, as if I am about to lose something very precious.” Little Yu said with suffering expression. Just now she suddenly felt unprecedented emptiness inside her heart, as if she lost something very precious to her. This feeling made her feel very frightened.
“What precious thing? Little Yu, aren’t you getting physically uncomfortable with some illusion ah?” Hearing Little Yu, Vermilion Bird confusedly asked.
“No, it can’t be……I’m sure my feeling is not wrong, this feeling came from deep inside my heart.” Little Yu shook her head and said with certainty. “But my most precious thing is……”
Thinking this, the complexion of Little Yu suddenly changed, then she anxiously said to Vermilion Bird, “Definitely is Idiot, Idiot must have met with an accident, absolutely him, elder sister Vermilion Bird, quickly take out our Fire of Life, and take a look at Idiot, his Fire of Life.”
“Little Yu, aren’t you thinking too much? You should know that with Zero’s strength, there are only very few experts who are able to injure him.” Seeing the anxiousness of Little Yu, Jade Maiden doubtfully said.
And Vermilion Bird also want to speak, but seeing that anxious expression of Little Yu, she had no choice but to do what she had said. Golden phoenix flame appeared on her right hand, then along with the flashing of her Vermilion Bird ring, suddenly ten huge fire ball flew out and floated in front of everyone.
These ten fire balls were currently glimmering with huge flame. Each fire ball had a single word, Vermilion, Jade, Black, White…..individually representing the member of Akatsuki organization. But right now the fire ball with the word ‘Zero’ however was a lot dimmer compared to other nine fire balls, and it seemed it would go out at any time.
These ten fireballs were Fire of Life created by Vermilion Bird using the secret magic of Flame Phoenix Villa to integrate everybody’s aura. By looking at this Fire of Life, one could easily know the state of said person.
For instance, the fireballs of Vermilion Bird and others were glimmering with huge flame, which represent their life-force was vigorous. But the fireball of Ren Tianyou which looked as if it would go out any second represents right now he was already injured severely, and was in the state of his life hanging in the balance. And the extinguishing of these Fire of Life represent, that person is already dead.
“This…how can this be?” Seeing the unusual condition of Ren Tianyou’s Fire of Life, Jade Maiden muttered in disbelief.
“Don’t stare blankly, immediately issue urgent call-up order, and immediately go to the mountain where Ren Tianyou was last seen.” Vermilion Bird immediately reacted, then waving her right hand, she pulled her clothing and jumped out of hot spring while wearing her clothing in midair.
And Little Yu and others also immediately reacted. They also jumped out of hot spring and quickly wore their clothing. After that without bidding farewell to the people of Villa, Vermillion Bird summoned her Golden Winged Phoenix, and after Jade Maiden and others also jumped on the back of the Phoenix, they changed into flame and flew towards the distant horizon in a high speed.
And seeing the hastily leaving figures of Jade Maiden and others, the Villa Mistress of Flame Phoenix Villa Feng Yunmeng only sighed, then return to the room.
On a mountain at the border of Ailer Empire, this moment eight people wearing black robe with red clouds imprinted on it could be seen. And they seemed to be searching something.
“Jade Maiden, how was it, did you find anything?” Seeing Jade maiden had finished using her magic, White Tiger asked.
“No, I look back upon the time of this mountain, but didn’t find any trace of Zero. I only saw Zero using space magic to leave this place after he separated from them.” Jade Maiden shook her head and said anxiously.
“There is no trace of fighting nearby. With the strength of Zero we know, coupled with his space magic, there are very few people in this entire continent that could stop Ren Tianyou from using space magic to leave.” After looking around, Great Bear slowly said.
“But that increase the difficulty of searching. With Zero’s space magic, his whereabouts is erratic, so it is very difficult to find him.” Black Tortoise said with grim complexion.
“No matter how difficult, even if we had to turn the entire continent upside down, we must find him. Don’t forget he is our leader.” Jade Maiden walked over and firmly said.
At this time, wind breaking sound came from behind them. And without turning back, White Tiger said, “You are late.”
Southern Dipper Bu Feng noiselessly landed on the ground, and said, “Sorry, I search the surrounding of 100 li around here, and finally find a trace.” Finished speaking, Bu Feng took out special kunai with Hiraishin mark.
“This is Little You’s Hiraishin kunai.” Seeing this familiar kunai, Black Tortoise immediately said happily. Then looking towards Bu Feng she asked, “Where did you find it?”
“This kunai was hung up on one tree of the small forest outside Tianlong City,” Southern Dipper tossed this kunai towards Azure Dragon i.e. his sweetheart Fang Qian.
“Zero ought to have met with mishap in Tianlong city. But Ximen clan of the city is already razed to the ground, and other force within Tianlong city are not capable enough to injure Zero.” White Tiger confusedly said.
“Yes, I specially looked all over Tianlong city, but I didn’t find any trace of Zero there. Furthermore there was no trace of any battle there.” Southern Dipper said while nodding his head. “Moreover I don’t think there is anyone in this world that is capable enough to directly deal mortal injury without giving Zero any chance to resist.”
“Then what should we do? Is this clue useless?” Little Yu anxiously said.
“No, this kunai is more than enough.” Southern Dipper shook his head, “If my guess is not wrong, then this kunai ought to be latest item of Ren Tianyou in our hand, so it might still have the aura of Zero.”
“So I just brought it back to let Little Qian find the final place Zero had left for.”
“Azure Dragon……?” Everyone confusedly looked towards Azure Dragon.
“Yes! Little Qian, before she had stayed at Light Temple for few years as Holy Maiden, and as a Holy Maiden of Light Temple, she could study many secret magic of Light Temple. Among them, there was Great Holy Light Heavenly Search Technique.”
“This Great Holy Light Heavenly Search Technique can find the trace of the said person relying on the aura of said person left behind in his/her items. But the success rate of this technique however depends upon the aura of said person left behind in the item left behind. So I brought back this kunai.”
“Is that for real Azure Dragon?” Little Yu asked while looking at Azure Dragon with expectation.
“I will try my best.” Azure Dragon said with uncertainty, as she herself was not confident. After that holding the kunai with her right hand, she sat cross-legged, and began to chant incantation. Along with her incantation, suddenly holy light pillar suddenly descended from the sky and surrounded her body.
After this holy light pillar descended, suddenly an aura which couldn’t be seen with naked eyes emerged from this kunai. And nearly after five minutes, Azure Dragon suddenly opened her eyes, and the holy light pillar also disappeared.
“At Ka Li Si city, Supreme Light Academy!”

"value": "Chapter 285: Unexpected Surprise, Black Finger\nChapter 285: Unexpected Surprise, Black Finger\nXiao Yan slowly walked past a few streets before stopping outside an inn. After which, he entered and climbed to the second story. He walked toward the area outside the quiet room, knocked gently on the door and directly entered.\nHai Bo Dong was seated cross-legged on a chair in the spacious room. He had his eyes closed and a faint white colored cold mist was hovering over his body. As he inhaled and exhaled, the cold mist moved along the gap on his nose and entered his body. With his body being filled with energy, a faint layer of warm jade like glow seeped out of his old face.\n“He really deserves to be a Dou Huang. Although his age is much older than Nalan Jie, looking at his vitality, he would likely at least be able to live for another fifty years if no accidents happen. If he is lucky enough to break through and become a Dou Zong, he would likely enter the old monster like category.” Xiao Yan closely closed the door and gently walked into the room. He glanced at the bright and energetic face of Hai Bo Dong. When he compared it with Nalan Jie, whose entire body was shrouded by a deathly aura he could not help but sigh emotionally in his heart.\nAlthough the noise that Xiao Yan made was extremely slight, it was undoubtedly as clear as thunder for a strong person like Hai Bo Dong. Immediately, the icy cold air around his body was swiftly absorbed into his body to be stored. Hai Bo Dong then opened his eyes and swiftly looked around the room while carrying a coldness. Only when his gaze shifted over Xiao Yan’s body did the cold air finally began to gradually withdraw. At the same time, the sharp and imposing manner surrounding the exterior of his body also quietly returned into his body. He glanced at Xiao Yan’s tired face and opened his mouth to ask, “Have you settled it?”\n“The poison is deeply embedded in Nalan Jie’s body. Although I have temporarily eased up the poison, it would at least require seven days in order for the ‘Searing Poison’ to be completely removed.” Xiao Yan sat on the soft bed and lazily replied.\n“Oh…” Hai Bo Dong nodded his head smiled and said with some surprise, “Looks like the extent of your control over the ‘Heavenly Flame’ is quite good. You are actually able to complete such a high difficulty treatment. This method of inserting the ‘Heavenly Flame’ into another person’s body is something that even most famous alchemist grandmasters don’t dare to easily use.” Being a Dou Huang, Hai Bo Dong naturally clearly knew just how large a risk one must take when inserting the ‘Heavenly Flame’ or any flame into a one’s body to expel a poison.\n“I was merely lucky.” Xiao Yan shook his head. He knew that most of the credit for him being able to control the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’ with such familiarity was because he consumed the ‘Fire Lotus Seed’ some time ago.\nXiao Yan removed his shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed. He wiped his tired face, Then he extended his palm out of his sleeves and with a frown, eyed his slightly blackened fingertip. After which, his hands slowly formed the training seal and gradually closed his eyes.\nAs he entered the training mode, Xiao Yan’s mind swiftly went to where the vortex was. His mind moved slightly and a wisp of green colored flame spurt out from within the Acceptance Spirit. He wrapped it with Dou Qi and slowly spiraled it above the vortex.\nXiao Yan’s mind continued to observe this cluster of green colored flame that was repeatedly writhing. A long while later, the green colored flame violently writhed under Xiao Yan’s control. The temperature suddenly rose. Following the rise in the temperature, the faint black colored fog actually appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the flame.\n“What a potent poison. Not only is it able to withstand the temperature of the ‘Heavenly Flame’, but it is also able to quietly merge with it. If it was not for my very high compatibility with the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’, I’m afraid that I may not have even sensed it… It really lives up to its reputation of being a potent poison that even a Dou Huang fear.” Xiao Yan muttered in his heart as he watched the black colored fog.\n“I should purify them. Otherwise, if this thing remains in my body, it is a ticking time bomb that may well suddenly explode anytime. The result…” Xiao Yan mused for a moment, fretting with his mind. The green colored flame that was wrapped around the black fog began to fluctuate as though it was bubbling. The hot temperature repeatedly rose.\nWhile he was expelling the poison for Nalan Jie, Xiao Yan’s ‘Heavenly Flame’ temperature had only been turned to a moderate degree as he was afraid that he would accidentally incinerate Nalan Jie into ashes. Now that he was purifying the poison fog in his own body, he naturally need not be that careful given the extent of his compatibility with the flame.\nAs the green colored flame’s temperature swiftly rose, the clusters of black colored fog also began to form ripples. However, this ‘Searing Poison’ was not an ordinary thing after all. Even under such high temperature, it was still quite firm and did not immediately disappear.\nUnder the grilling at such high temperature, the black colored fog’s size slowly shrunk. In the end, those threads of black colored fog actually began to merge together into a deep black colored bead. Slight glows flashed in the interior of the bead as though it contained a surging energy.\nThe strange change of the ‘Searing Poison’ caused Xiao Yan to be stunned. He stared blankly at the black colored bead rolling in the green colored flame. From the probing of his mind, he could clearly sense that this black colored bead actually contained a powerful energy within it.\n“What is happening? It’s impossible for the ‘Searing Poison to possess such energy…” Xiao Yan doubtfully muttered in his heart. He stared intently at that dark black bead as the temperature of the green colored flame abruptly soared once again. The exhaustion as a result of the high temperature was something that Xiao Yan’s Spiritual Strength had some difficulty withstanding.\nAs the green colored flame grilled once again, the black colored bead finally began to stir. Its surface trembled slightly and threads of black colored fog began to seep out of the bead’s body. After which, it was incinerated by the flame and purified into nothingness.\nEyeing the bead’s color that was slowly changing, Xiao Yan’s heart sighed in relief. At the same time he increased the purification speed.\nWhen the last thread of black colored fog rose from the bead’s body, the dark black bead had actually turned into a flickering pale-white colored glowing small round ball. Winding around the seemingly transparent film on the surface of the bead, one could see rolling waves of rich liquid energy inside.\nXiao Yan was stunned as he stared at the small transparent round ball. A long while later, he frowned slightly and muttered in his heart to himself, “Logically speaking, a poison like the ‘Searing Poison’ would definitely not possess such pure energy. Don’t tell me… this energy is someone else’s?”\nThe sudden thought caused Xiao Yan’s heart to jump. It was a long while later before he calmed down. He mused for a long time and he gradually felt relief. The ‘Searing Poison’ had stayed hidden in Nalan Jie’s body for so long. Since it eroded his body, it was plausible that it would also swallow some Dou Qi. After this had continued for a long time, it might have ended up storing quite a terrifying amount of it. This might be something that Nalan Jie may be unhappy about but for Xiao Yan, who had accidentally brought the ‘Searing Poison’ into his body, it was a windfall from the heavens. According to the degree of purity of this energy, it was possible for Xiao Yan to completely refine and absorb it.\nFaced with this unexpected windfall, some secret delight surfaced in Xiao Yan’s heart after he was momentarily blank. Given his character, it was naturally impossible for him to return this to Nalan Jie. Therefore, this abundant energy was considered as interest and he kept it.\nAs his mind spun, a wisp of green colored flame agglomerated into a tiny flame needle head. After which, Xiao Yan gently pressed this needle flame onto the transparent bead’s body. Immediately, the bead burst apart with a bang. A huge amount of liquid energy that looked a little blue flowed out from it. Just as it was about to scurry in all directions. it was forcefully controlled by Xiao Yan who was already prepared and began to have the energy circulate along the Qi Paths routes.\nWhen this liquid that was filled with energy completed one cycle, that pale-blue color in the liquid had already totally been removed. It turned into a pure energy that anyone could absorb.\nAlthough this energy was currently already very pure, Xiao Yan still cautiously used the ‘Heavenly Flame’ to refine it once more until the latter actually began to faintly show signs of being a little viscous. Only then was he reassured and poured it into the vortex.\nAfter this liquid energy entered the vortex, it was swiftly transformed into the same color as the vortex. Then, it began to separate, trembling and transforming into droplets which were entirely of the same size. They were then tossed into the vortex.\nFeeling the sense of the vortex being filled, Xiao Yan could not help but quietly shake his head. This energy that had been poured in this time around had actually added nearly twenty plus drops of pure liquid energy into the vortex. According to this kind of efficiency, if he could absorb the same amount of energy for another three times, he would likely leap to a seven star Dou Shi in less than half a month.\n“It really is worthy of being the energy that was agglomerated in a Dou Wang’s body. Just a mere small portion of it actually had such a density…” Xiao Yan quietly praised in his heart. After which, he slowly opened his eyes and gently exhaled.\nWithin the room, Hai Bo Dong’s gaze watched Xiao Yan intently. When he saw Xiao Yan opening his eyes, he could not help but say with a smile, “It seems that you have suddenly become a lot stronger.”\nAlthough Xiao Yan’s change was not too drastic, it was naturally extremely easy for Hai Bo Dong sensing ability to detect the former’s change,\n“Yes.” Xiao Yan nodded his head as he lowered his head to see his finger. His face changed involuntarily. He could see that the tip of his middle finger on his right hand was still shrouded by a black colored circle.\n“What happened? Didn’t I completely removed the ‘Searing Poison’?” Xiao Yan’s face was somewhat ugly as he stared at the fingertip that was black and said in a deep soft voice.\n“What is it?” Seeing Xiao Yan’s expression, Hai Bo Dong was at a lost. He walked forward. When he saw the black colored finger, his expression similarly changed. With a frown, he said, “This is… ‘Searing Poison’? How did you get it into your body?”\n“I don’t know. I did not expect that this thing could actually endure the grilling of my ‘Heavenly Flame’.”\n“Impossible. An ordinary ‘Searing Poison’ would definitely not be able to withstand the ‘Heavenly Flame’. As for this transformation now… perhaps it was because the ‘Searing Poison’ had stayed hidden in Nalan Jie’s body for too long, which had created some sort of unique mutation…” Hai Bo Dong frowned tightly. He mused for a long while before he slowly said to Xiao Yan, “Can you try and see if there is anything wrong with your body?”\nXiao Yan nodded his head. His right hand was extended and opened. A green colored Dou Qi suddenly rose from it and two people’s gazes stared intently at the Dou Qi.\nUnder the observation of the two of them, the rising green colored Dou Qi rolled for a while before some black colored marks faintly appeared on its surface.\n“Tsk tsk, it actually intruded into your Dou Qi. It really is worthy of being called ‘Searing Poison’... how terrifying.” Eyeing those black colored marks, Hai Bo Dong involuntarily shook his head and said, “How do you feel?”\nXiao Yan frowned and his face was filled with incomprehension. He rolled his hand slightly. The Dou Qi that was contaminated with the black colored mark also followed his hand’s motion and did not bring any harm to Xiao Yan. Instead, he felt that the strength of the Dou Qi appeared to have become stronger.\n“Uh… I also don’t know what exactly is happening. But looking at the situation now, it seems that the ‘Searing Poison’ does not have any intentions of poisoning you. Perhaps… it has already been refined into something you can use?” Hai Bo Dong shook his head and said.\nXiao Yan pursed up his lips. His gaze intently watched the green colored Dou Qi that was mixed with some black colored markings. Following his intent to move, the green colored Dou Qi abruptly writhed. However, the black colored markings were completely forced to swarm toward the middle finger of his right hand. From his manner, it appeared that he was trying to force it out.\nThe black colored markings swarmed into his middle finger. An instant later, his entire finger had actually turned into an incomparably black color. Its deep appearance faintly emitted a quiet glow and was extremely strange.\nXiao Yan’s expression also repeatedly changed. How could he have expected that a simple removal of poison would actually end up putting him into this state.\n“It appears to be within my control and does not have any sign of biting me.” A long while later, Xiao Yan, who did not sense anything wrong shook his head slightly. He extended his middle finger and suddenly lifted his head to eye Hai Bo Dong.\n“What do you plan to do?” Seeing Xiao Yan’s strange expression, Hai Bo Dong hurriedly took a step back.\n“Help me test what kind of effect this thing has…” Xiao Yan parted his mouth and smiled. Immediately, without waiting for Hai Bo Dong’s reply, his finger abruptly pierced at the latter.\n“Brat, don’t play around. This is the ‘Searing Poison’. Damn…” Hai Bo Dong’s footsteps retreated repeatedly. He eyed Xiao Yan who had swiftly and abruptly charged over. All he could do was helplessly cursed and extended his hand. A mysterious ice mirror appeared in front of him.\nSeeing that Xiao Yan broke open his ice mirror so easily, Hai Bo Dong’s expression changed. His body dodged aside and he leaped up onto the crossbeam. After which, he lowered his head and helplessly cried lowly at Xiao Yan, “Bastard. Can you not randomly play around with this thing? That is ‘Searing Poison’. Even with my strength, it would be very troublesome if I were tainted with that thing.”\nXiao Yan smiled at Hai Bo Dong. He then lowered his head to see the strange finger. The emotion in his eyes was somewhat exciting. The destructive strength of the ‘Searing Poison’ had far exceeded his expectation. This strange type of attack that had come in a baffling manner caused Xiao Yan to feel some fear in his heart on top of being secretly pleased.\nAlthough this black finger’s destructive strength was not weak, its original form was something transformed from the ‘Searing Poison’ that even Hai Bo Dong was extremely fearful of. This ‘Searing Poison’ may currently seem to obey Xiao Yan’s orders, but how would he know if this terrifying thing would suddenly erupt in the future. Recalling how even Nalan Jie, who had the strength of a Dou Wang, was turned into that miserable manner by the ‘Searing Poison’, the corner of Xiao Yan’s mouth began to shiver slightly.\nSeeing Xiao Yan’s manner, Hai Bo Dong was also clear of the former’s fear. He quickly came down but still maintained quite a bit of distance from Xiao Yan. In a comforting tone, he said, “You need not be overly worried. I think that the ‘Searing Poison’ in your body should have undergone some kind of mutation. Otherwise, such a situation would not appear… but regardless of how it changes, you have the ‘Heavenly Flame’ to protect your body. Basically, you will not end up in the same state as Nalan Jie.”\n“Haha, perhaps you should rejoice. As you stumble around, you actually ended up possessing a kind of extremely strange ability. In the future, this black finger, may well cause many people to fall under your hands.”\nXiao Yan sighed and could only nod with a bitter smile. Following his intentions, the black color on the dark black finger gradually subsided. A moment later, it completely returned to its normal color."

第两百八十五章
第两百八十五章
缓缓的走过几条街道，萧炎在与一间旅馆之外停了下来，然后走了进去，行上二楼，来到一处安静的房间之外，轻敲了敲门，便是径直推门而入。
宽敞的房间之中，海波东正盘坐在椅子上，微闭着眼眸，周身萦绕着淡淡的白色寒气，随着其呼吸吞吐间，寒气顺着口鼻钻入身体，充盈的能量，让得那苍老的脸庞上，隐隐透露着一层温玉般的毫光。
“不愧是斗皇强者，虽然年龄比纳兰桀大上许多，可看他这股精神劲，若是没有意外的话，至少还能再活蹦乱跳的活个五十年，若是再来个好运，突破到斗宗强者，那恐怕就得步入那些老妖怪一般的级别了。” 轻轻的将房门关上，萧炎轻手轻脚的行进屋中，瞧着海波东那荣光焕发的脸庞，再与先前那浑身缭绕着死亡气息的纳兰桀一比，不由得在心中暗自感叹道。
虽然萧炎弄出的声响极为细微，不过对于海波东这种强者来说，无疑是犹如在耳边打雷一般响亮，当下体外的冰寒之气迅速被吸进身体之内储存着，睁开双眼，然后带着许些寒意的在房间中迅速巡视一圈，待得目光移到萧炎身体上时，寒气方才逐渐收敛，同时那缭绕在身体之外的凌厉气势，也是悄悄收进体内，瞥着萧炎那满脸的疲倦，开口问道：“搞定了？”
“纳兰桀中毒颇深，虽然今天暂时缓解了一下毒性，不过至少需要七天时间，方才能够将那“烙毒”完全驱逐。” 萧炎坐在柔软的床榻上，懒懒的回道。
“哦…”点了点头，海波东略微有些惊异的笑道：“看来你对异火的控制度很不错啊，竟然能够完成这般高难度的医疗，这种用异火进入别人体内的方式，即使一些出名的炼药大师，那也不敢轻易动用啊。” 身为斗皇强者，海波东自然是非常清楚，将异火侵入人体之内来驱毒，这需要冒多大的险。
“侥幸而已。” 摇了摇头，萧炎知道自己能够如此熟练的操控青莲地心火，大多都是因为前段时间服用了地火莲子的缘故。
脱去鞋子，在床榻上盘腿坐了下来，搓了搓疲倦的脸庞，萧炎手掌伸出袖袍，微皱着眉头瞥着那略微有些发黑的指尖，然后双手缓缓结出修炼手印，然后逐渐闭目。
随着进入修炼状态，萧炎的心神迅速来自气旋之处，心神微动间，一缕青色火焰从纳灵中被喷吐而出，斗气将之包裹着，然后缓缓的盘旋在气旋上空。
心神注视着这团不断翻腾的青色火焰，许久之后，在萧炎的控制之下，青色火焰猛的一阵翻腾，温度骤然升高，而随着其温度的增高，淡淡的黑色雾气，竟然是凭空出现在了火焰中心。
“好凶悍的烙毒，不仅能够抵御住异火这般温度，还能够悄无声息的融合进去，若不是我对青莲地心火的契合度颇高的话，恐怕也不能察觉…不愧是连斗皇强者都忌惮不已的剧毒啊。” 凝视着那些黑色雾气，萧炎在心中低声喃喃道。
“将它们净化吧，不然的话，这些东西留在体内，可是一种不定时的炸弹啊，指不定什么时候忽然爆炸开来啊，那后果…”沉吟了一会，萧炎心神微动，那包裹着黑色雾气的青色火焰便是犹如沸腾一般波动了起来，炽热的温度不断的攀升着。
在替纳兰桀驱毒之时，因为怕一不小心把他给焚烧成灰烬，所以萧炎的异火温度仅仅是开启到一个温和的程度，到了现在在自己体内来净化毒雾，因为彼此契合度的缘故，自然是不需要那般小心翼翼。
随着青色火焰温度的急速攀高，那一团团的黑色雾气也是开始荡漾了起来，不过这种烙毒液毕竟不是凡物，即使是在这种高温下，却依然是颇为坚硬没有立刻消失。
在高温的炙烤下，黑色雾气的体积缓缓的缩小着，待得片刻后，那些一缕缕的黑色雾气，竟然是开始融合在了一起，宛如一颗深邃的黑色珠子一般，在珠子内部，幽光闪烁，似乎蕴含着澎湃的能量一般。
“烙毒”这奇异的变化，让得萧炎大为错愕，愣愣的望着那在青色火焰之中滚动的黑色珠子，在心神的探测中，他分明的察觉到，在这黑色珠子中，居然蕴含着雄浑的能量？
烙毒不可能拥有这些能量的啊…”心中疑惑的喃喃着，萧炎紧紧的盯着那漆黑的珠子，青色火焰温度猛然再度暴涨，那股温度所造成的消耗，也让得他的灵魂力量也略微有些吃不消起来。
随着青色火焰的再度炙烤，那黑色珠子终于开始有了动静，表面轻微的颤抖着，丝丝黑色雾气从珠体内渗透而出，然后被炽热的火焰净化成一片虚无。
望着那颜色正缓缓变得淡起来的珠子，萧炎心中松了一口气，同时加快了净化的速度。
当最后一缕黑色雾气从珠体中升腾而出之后，漆黑的珠子，赫然转变成了一枚闪烁着淡淡白色光芒的小圆球，在那犹如透明一般的薄膜中，能够看到奔腾的醇厚液体能量。
愕然的望着那枚小小的透明圆球，好半晌后，萧炎眉头一皱，在心中自言自语的道：“按理说，烙毒这种毒素，是不可能拥有如此这般纯净能量的，难道…这些能量，是别人的？”
忽然冒出的念头，让得萧炎心头跳了跳，好半晌后平静下来，沉吟了许久，逐渐感到释然，这些烙毒潜伏在纳兰桀体内这么久，平日侵蚀着他的身体，偶尔也会将一些斗气给吞噬，这般久而久之下来，倒是储存了一个颇为恐怖的量，这对纳兰桀来说，或许是件不爽的事情，不过对于意外将烙毒带进了自己身体的萧炎来说，却不得不说是天降横财，因为按照这些能量的纯净程度，完全有可能被萧炎提炼，并且吸收。
对于这笔意外的天降横财，萧炎在愣然之后，心中悄然的泛起许些窃喜的笑意，以他的性子，自然是不可能将之交还给纳兰桀，所以，这些充沛的能量，便权当是做利息，被他给留了下来。
随着心神的转动，一缕青色火焰凝成细小的火焰针头，然后轻点在透明的珠体之上，顿时，珠体轰然爆裂，一大股略微有些偏向蓝颜色的液体能量从中流淌而出，刚欲四面八方的乱窜，便是被早有准备的萧炎强行控制着，沿着经脉路线开始了运转。
当这股充盈的液体能量在完成一次运转之后，那淡蓝的颜色，已经是完全的被剔除而出，彻彻底底的化为了一股可供任何人吸收的纯净能量。
虽然现在的这股能量已经极为纯净，不过萧炎依然是小心谨慎的动用异火再度将之提炼了一番，直到后者竟然隐隐出现许些粘稠之状后，方才放心的将之灌注进入气旋之中。
这股液体能量在进入气旋之后，便是迅速被同化成同一种颜色，然后开始了分离，颤抖着化为一滴滴大小完全相同的体积，抛洒在了气旋之中。
感受着气旋内那越加充盈的感觉，萧炎忍不住的暗自摇了摇头，他清算过，这次的能量灌注，竟然是足足给气旋添加了将近二十多滴精纯的液体能量，按照这种效率，再来三次，恐怕他将会在不到半个月的时间，跃到七星斗师的级别。
“不愧是斗王强者体内所凝聚的能量啊，仅仅是一小份，便是这般庞大…”心中暗叹了一声，萧炎这才缓缓的睁开眼眸，轻吐了一口气。
房间之中，海波东目光紧紧的注视着萧炎，瞧得他睁开眼来，不由得笑道：“似乎忽然间变强了许多啊？”
虽然萧炎的变化并不是太过剧烈，不过以海波东的感知能力，自然是极为容易察觉到他的细微变动。
微微点了点头，萧炎低下头望着手指，脸庞不由得变了变，只见那右手掌的中指指尖，居然依然缭绕着一圈黑色。 “怎么回事？
不是已经将烙毒完全驱逐了么？” 脸庞略微有些难看的盯着那发黑的指尖，萧炎声音低沉的道。 “怎么了？”
怎么弄到你身上了？”
“不知道，没想到这东西竟然能够抵御住我异火的炙烤。”
“不可能的，普通的烙毒，是绝对不可能抵抗异火，至于现在的这变化…或许是因为烙毒潜伏在纳兰桀体内太久，而造成的某种异变吧…”紧皱着眉头，海波东沉吟了半晌，缓缓的对着萧炎道：“你试试身体有没什么不适？”
萧炎点了点头，右手平探伸开，青色斗气猛然升腾而起，两人的目光紧紧注视着斗气。
在两人的注视中，升腾的青色斗气在翻滚了半晌后，竟然是在表面上隐隐出现了许些黑色纹痕。
“啧啧，竟然是侵入到你的斗气中去了，不愧是烙毒啊…可怕。” 望着那些黑色纹痕，海波东忍不住的摇了摇头，道：“你感觉如何？”
萧炎皱着眉，满脸的不解，手掌微微翻动，那沾染着黑色纹痕的斗气，也是随之转动，却并未给萧炎带来任何的伤害，反而让得他觉得似乎斗气的杀伤力，变得更强了。
“呃…我也不知道究竟是怎么回事，不过看现在的情况，似乎这烙毒对你没有什么反噬的举动，或许…它被你炼为己用了？” 海波东摇了摇头，道。
萧炎抿着嘴，目光紧紧的注视着那略微掺杂着许些黑色纹痕的青色斗气，随着意动，青色斗气猛然翻腾，那些漆黑的纹痕，全部被他逼着涌进了右掌的中指之中，看他的模样，似乎是想要试试能否将之排出。
漆黑的纹痕蜂拥的涌进中指之中，片刻之后，整根手指，居然变得漆黑无比，深邃的模样，隐隐透着幽芒，极为诡异。
怎么竟然还拥有这般剧烈的毒性？” 萧炎的脸色也是不断的变幻着，他怎能想到，不过是驱个毒而已，最后居然会把自己搞成这般模样。
“它似乎是在我的控制之中，并没有半点反噬的动静。” 半晌后，没有察觉到不适的萧炎微微摇了摇头，中指伸出，忽然抬头望着海波东。
“你干什么？” 瞧得萧炎那诡异的眼色，海波东急忙退了一步。
“帮我试试这东西有什么效果…”萧炎咧嘴笑了笑，旋即不等海波东回发，手指便是猛的对着他插了过去。
“小子，别乱来，这可是烙毒…”脚步连连退着，海波东望着那迅猛冲来的萧炎，只得无奈的骂了一声，双手一伸一探，一块玄冰镜面便是凭空出现在面前。
望着萧炎竟然如此轻易的便是将冰镜破开，海波东脸色微变，身体闪掠间，腾上横梁，低头对着萧炎无奈的低喝道：“混蛋，这东西别乱搞好不好？ 那可是烙毒啊，就算是以我的实力，沾染上那东西，也是很麻烦的。”
萧炎冲着海波东笑了笑，低头望着那漆黑得诡异的手指，眼眸中的情绪颇有些精彩，这烙毒的破坏力，远远超出他的意料，而这来得有些堪称莫名其妙的奇怪攻击方式，让得萧炎在窃喜之余，心中也是有些忌惮。
虽说这黑指的破坏力不弱，不过它的本体却是那连海波东都忌惮不已的烙毒所化，虽然现在这烙毒似乎很听萧炎的指挥，可他又怎会知道，在日后，这恐怖的东西会不会忽然爆发？ 想起连斗王实力的纳兰桀都被烙毒弄成那副凄惨模样，萧炎的嘴唇便是微微哆嗦着。
瞧得萧炎的模样，海波东自然也是清楚他的忌惮，闪下身来，不过却是与萧炎隔着许些距离，安慰道：“你也不用太过担心，你体内的那些烙毒，我想应该是属于某种变异体，不然的话，不会出现这种事情…不过不管它如何变，你有着异火防身，基本是不会落得纳兰桀那般下场。”
“呵呵，或许你还得庆幸，在误打误撞见间，你拥有了一种极为诡异的能力，日后，这黑指，恐怕会让得很多人栽在你手中。”
叹了一口气，萧炎只得苦笑着点了点头，随着意动，那漆黑的手指，黑色逐渐褪去，片刻后，完全的回复了正常之色。

Chapter 285: Unexpected Surprise, Black Finger
Chapter 285: Unexpected Surprise, Black Finger
Xiao Yan slowly walked past a few streets before stopping outside an inn. After which, he entered and climbed to the second story. He walked toward the area outside the quiet room, knocked gently on the door and directly entered.
Hai Bo Dong was seated cross-legged on a chair in the spacious room. He had his eyes closed and a faint white colored cold mist was hovering over his body. As he inhaled and exhaled, the cold mist moved along the gap on his nose and entered his body. With his body being filled with energy, a faint layer of warm jade like glow seeped out of his old face.
“He really deserves to be a Dou Huang. Although his age is much older than Nalan Jie, looking at his vitality, he would likely at least be able to live for another fifty years if no accidents happen. If he is lucky enough to break through and become a Dou Zong, he would likely enter the old monster like category.” Xiao Yan closely closed the door and gently walked into the room. He glanced at the bright and energetic face of Hai Bo Dong. When he compared it with Nalan Jie, whose entire body was shrouded by a deathly aura he could not help but sigh emotionally in his heart.
Although the noise that Xiao Yan made was extremely slight, it was undoubtedly as clear as thunder for a strong person like Hai Bo Dong. Immediately, the icy cold air around his body was swiftly absorbed into his body to be stored. Hai Bo Dong then opened his eyes and swiftly looked around the room while carrying a coldness. Only when his gaze shifted over Xiao Yan’s body did the cold air finally began to gradually withdraw. At the same time, the sharp and imposing manner surrounding the exterior of his body also quietly returned into his body. He glanced at Xiao Yan’s tired face and opened his mouth to ask, “Have you settled it?”
“The poison is deeply embedded in Nalan Jie’s body. Although I have temporarily eased up the poison, it would at least require seven days in order for the ‘Searing Poison’ to be completely removed.” Xiao Yan sat on the soft bed and lazily replied.
“Oh…” Hai Bo Dong nodded his head smiled and said with some surprise, “Looks like the extent of your control over the ‘Heavenly Flame’ is quite good. You are actually able to complete such a high difficulty treatment. This method of inserting the ‘Heavenly Flame’ into another person’s body is something that even most famous alchemist grandmasters don’t dare to easily use.” Being a Dou Huang, Hai Bo Dong naturally clearly knew just how large a risk one must take when inserting the ‘Heavenly Flame’ or any flame into a one’s body to expel a poison.
“I was merely lucky.” Xiao Yan shook his head. He knew that most of the credit for him being able to control the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’ with such familiarity was because he consumed the ‘Fire Lotus Seed’ some time ago.
Xiao Yan removed his shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed. He wiped his tired face, Then he extended his palm out of his sleeves and with a frown, eyed his slightly blackened fingertip. After which, his hands slowly formed the training seal and gradually closed his eyes.
As he entered the training mode, Xiao Yan’s mind swiftly went to where the vortex was. His mind moved slightly and a wisp of green colored flame spurt out from within the Acceptance Spirit. He wrapped it with Dou Qi and slowly spiraled it above the vortex.
Xiao Yan’s mind continued to observe this cluster of green colored flame that was repeatedly writhing. A long while later, the green colored flame violently writhed under Xiao Yan’s control. The temperature suddenly rose. Following the rise in the temperature, the faint black colored fog actually appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the flame.
“What a potent poison. Not only is it able to withstand the temperature of the ‘Heavenly Flame’, but it is also able to quietly merge with it. If it was not for my very high compatibility with the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’, I’m afraid that I may not have even sensed it… It really lives up to its reputation of being a potent poison that even a Dou Huang fear.” Xiao Yan muttered in his heart as he watched the black colored fog.
“I should purify them. Otherwise, if this thing remains in my body, it is a ticking time bomb that may well suddenly explode anytime. The result…” Xiao Yan mused for a moment, fretting with his mind. The green colored flame that was wrapped around the black fog began to fluctuate as though it was bubbling. The hot temperature repeatedly rose.
While he was expelling the poison for Nalan Jie, Xiao Yan’s ‘Heavenly Flame’ temperature had only been turned to a moderate degree as he was afraid that he would accidentally incinerate Nalan Jie into ashes. Now that he was purifying the poison fog in his own body, he naturally need not be that careful given the extent of his compatibility with the flame.
As the green colored flame’s temperature swiftly rose, the clusters of black colored fog also began to form ripples. However, this ‘Searing Poison’ was not an ordinary thing after all. Even under such high temperature, it was still quite firm and did not immediately disappear.
Under the grilling at such high temperature, the black colored fog’s size slowly shrunk. In the end, those threads of black colored fog actually began to merge together into a deep black colored bead. Slight glows flashed in the interior of the bead as though it contained a surging energy.
The strange change of the ‘Searing Poison’ caused Xiao Yan to be stunned. He stared blankly at the black colored bead rolling in the green colored flame. From the probing of his mind, he could clearly sense that this black colored bead actually contained a powerful energy within it.
“What is happening? It’s impossible for the ‘Searing Poison to possess such energy…” Xiao Yan doubtfully muttered in his heart. He stared intently at that dark black bead as the temperature of the green colored flame abruptly soared once again. The exhaustion as a result of the high temperature was something that Xiao Yan’s Spiritual Strength had some difficulty withstanding.
As the green colored flame grilled once again, the black colored bead finally began to stir. Its surface trembled slightly and threads of black colored fog began to seep out of the bead’s body. After which, it was incinerated by the flame and purified into nothingness.
Eyeing the bead’s color that was slowly changing, Xiao Yan’s heart sighed in relief. At the same time he increased the purification speed.
When the last thread of black colored fog rose from the bead’s body, the dark black bead had actually turned into a flickering pale-white colored glowing small round ball. Winding around the seemingly transparent film on the surface of the bead, one could see rolling waves of rich liquid energy inside.
Xiao Yan was stunned as he stared at the small transparent round ball. A long while later, he frowned slightly and muttered in his heart to himself, “Logically speaking, a poison like the ‘Searing Poison’ would definitely not possess such pure energy. Don’t tell me… this energy is someone else’s?”
The sudden thought caused Xiao Yan’s heart to jump. It was a long while later before he calmed down. He mused for a long time and he gradually felt relief. The ‘Searing Poison’ had stayed hidden in Nalan Jie’s body for so long. Since it eroded his body, it was plausible that it would also swallow some Dou Qi. After this had continued for a long time, it might have ended up storing quite a terrifying amount of it. This might be something that Nalan Jie may be unhappy about but for Xiao Yan, who had accidentally brought the ‘Searing Poison’ into his body, it was a windfall from the heavens. According to the degree of purity of this energy, it was possible for Xiao Yan to completely refine and absorb it.
Faced with this unexpected windfall, some secret delight surfaced in Xiao Yan’s heart after he was momentarily blank. Given his character, it was naturally impossible for him to return this to Nalan Jie. Therefore, this abundant energy was considered as interest and he kept it.
As his mind spun, a wisp of green colored flame agglomerated into a tiny flame needle head. After which, Xiao Yan gently pressed this needle flame onto the transparent bead’s body. Immediately, the bead burst apart with a bang. A huge amount of liquid energy that looked a little blue flowed out from it. Just as it was about to scurry in all directions. it was forcefully controlled by Xiao Yan who was already prepared and began to have the energy circulate along the Qi Paths routes.
When this liquid that was filled with energy completed one cycle, that pale-blue color in the liquid had already totally been removed. It turned into a pure energy that anyone could absorb.
Although this energy was currently already very pure, Xiao Yan still cautiously used the ‘Heavenly Flame’ to refine it once more until the latter actually began to faintly show signs of being a little viscous. Only then was he reassured and poured it into the vortex.
After this liquid energy entered the vortex, it was swiftly transformed into the same color as the vortex. Then, it began to separate, trembling and transforming into droplets which were entirely of the same size. They were then tossed into the vortex.
Feeling the sense of the vortex being filled, Xiao Yan could not help but quietly shake his head. This energy that had been poured in this time around had actually added nearly twenty plus drops of pure liquid energy into the vortex. According to this kind of efficiency, if he could absorb the same amount of energy for another three times, he would likely leap to a seven star Dou Shi in less than half a month.
“It really is worthy of being the energy that was agglomerated in a Dou Wang’s body. Just a mere small portion of it actually had such a density…” Xiao Yan quietly praised in his heart. After which, he slowly opened his eyes and gently exhaled.
Within the room, Hai Bo Dong’s gaze watched Xiao Yan intently. When he saw Xiao Yan opening his eyes, he could not help but say with a smile, “It seems that you have suddenly become a lot stronger.”
Although Xiao Yan’s change was not too drastic, it was naturally extremely easy for Hai Bo Dong sensing ability to detect the former’s change,
“Yes.” Xiao Yan nodded his head as he lowered his head to see his finger. His face changed involuntarily. He could see that the tip of his middle finger on his right hand was still shrouded by a black colored circle.
“What happened? Didn’t I completely removed the ‘Searing Poison’?” Xiao Yan’s face was somewhat ugly as he stared at the fingertip that was black and said in a deep soft voice.
“What is it?” Seeing Xiao Yan’s expression, Hai Bo Dong was at a lost. He walked forward. When he saw the black colored finger, his expression similarly changed. With a frown, he said, “This is… ‘Searing Poison’? How did you get it into your body?”
“I don’t know. I did not expect that this thing could actually endure the grilling of my ‘Heavenly Flame’.”
“Impossible. An ordinary ‘Searing Poison’ would definitely not be able to withstand the ‘Heavenly Flame’. As for this transformation now… perhaps it was because the ‘Searing Poison’ had stayed hidden in Nalan Jie’s body for too long, which had created some sort of unique mutation…” Hai Bo Dong frowned tightly. He mused for a long while before he slowly said to Xiao Yan, “Can you try and see if there is anything wrong with your body?”
Xiao Yan nodded his head. His right hand was extended and opened. A green colored Dou Qi suddenly rose from it and two people’s gazes stared intently at the Dou Qi.
Under the observation of the two of them, the rising green colored Dou Qi rolled for a while before some black colored marks faintly appeared on its surface.
“Tsk tsk, it actually intruded into your Dou Qi. It really is worthy of being called ‘Searing Poison’... how terrifying.” Eyeing those black colored marks, Hai Bo Dong involuntarily shook his head and said, “How do you feel?”
Xiao Yan frowned and his face was filled with incomprehension. He rolled his hand slightly. The Dou Qi that was contaminated with the black colored mark also followed his hand’s motion and did not bring any harm to Xiao Yan. Instead, he felt that the strength of the Dou Qi appeared to have become stronger.
“Uh… I also don’t know what exactly is happening. But looking at the situation now, it seems that the ‘Searing Poison’ does not have any intentions of poisoning you. Perhaps… it has already been refined into something you can use?” Hai Bo Dong shook his head and said.
Xiao Yan pursed up his lips. His gaze intently watched the green colored Dou Qi that was mixed with some black colored markings. Following his intent to move, the green colored Dou Qi abruptly writhed. However, the black colored markings were completely forced to swarm toward the middle finger of his right hand. From his manner, it appeared that he was trying to force it out.
The black colored markings swarmed into his middle finger. An instant later, his entire finger had actually turned into an incomparably black color. Its deep appearance faintly emitted a quiet glow and was extremely strange.
Xiao Yan’s expression also repeatedly changed. How could he have expected that a simple removal of poison would actually end up putting him into this state.
“It appears to be within my control and does not have any sign of biting me.” A long while later, Xiao Yan, who did not sense anything wrong shook his head slightly. He extended his middle finger and suddenly lifted his head to eye Hai Bo Dong.
“What do you plan to do?” Seeing Xiao Yan’s strange expression, Hai Bo Dong hurriedly took a step back.
“Help me test what kind of effect this thing has…” Xiao Yan parted his mouth and smiled. Immediately, without waiting for Hai Bo Dong’s reply, his finger abruptly pierced at the latter.
“Brat, don’t play around. This is the ‘Searing Poison’. Damn…” Hai Bo Dong’s footsteps retreated repeatedly. He eyed Xiao Yan who had swiftly and abruptly charged over. All he could do was helplessly cursed and extended his hand. A mysterious ice mirror appeared in front of him.
Seeing that Xiao Yan broke open his ice mirror so easily, Hai Bo Dong’s expression changed. His body dodged aside and he leaped up onto the crossbeam. After which, he lowered his head and helplessly cried lowly at Xiao Yan, “Bastard. Can you not randomly play around with this thing? That is ‘Searing Poison’. Even with my strength, it would be very troublesome if I were tainted with that thing.”
Xiao Yan smiled at Hai Bo Dong. He then lowered his head to see the strange finger. The emotion in his eyes was somewhat exciting. The destructive strength of the ‘Searing Poison’ had far exceeded his expectation. This strange type of attack that had come in a baffling manner caused Xiao Yan to feel some fear in his heart on top of being secretly pleased.
Although this black finger’s destructive strength was not weak, its original form was something transformed from the ‘Searing Poison’ that even Hai Bo Dong was extremely fearful of. This ‘Searing Poison’ may currently seem to obey Xiao Yan’s orders, but how would he know if this terrifying thing would suddenly erupt in the future. Recalling how even Nalan Jie, who had the strength of a Dou Wang, was turned into that miserable manner by the ‘Searing Poison’, the corner of Xiao Yan’s mouth began to shiver slightly.
Seeing Xiao Yan’s manner, Hai Bo Dong was also clear of the former’s fear. He quickly came down but still maintained quite a bit of distance from Xiao Yan. In a comforting tone, he said, “You need not be overly worried. I think that the ‘Searing Poison’ in your body should have undergone some kind of mutation. Otherwise, such a situation would not appear… but regardless of how it changes, you have the ‘Heavenly Flame’ to protect your body. Basically, you will not end up in the same state as Nalan Jie.”
“Haha, perhaps you should rejoice. As you stumble around, you actually ended up possessing a kind of extremely strange ability. In the future, this black finger, may well cause many people to fall under your hands.”
Xiao Yan sighed and could only nod with a bitter smile. Following his intentions, the black color on the dark black finger gradually subsided. A moment later, it completely returned to its normal color.

Everything was free of charge. This aroused the curiosity of countless people. As everyone knows, people are often curious about free things. This is a psychological phenomenon. And this god-level planning team took advantage of this phenomenon. I’m sure you understand this.”\nHost: “I understand. Where there are free things, there will be people. What happened after?”\nTian Hongqing: “After having fun at the nightclub for free for two days, as everyone can imagine, the nightclub was bustling with popularity. There was hardly any space for more people to stand in the nightclub. What does this mean? It means that the first step of gathering the crowd had been achieved. From my findings, I’m able to conclude this part of the plan cost about 500,000 yuan.”\nHost: “Five hundred thousand yuan is able to gather such a level of popularity?”\nTian Hongqing: “Which is why they deserve to be called a god-level planning team. Five hundred thousand yuan to lay the foundation. Right at this moment, the show started. The day when Miss Li Nianwei made her appearance, there were as many as forty luxury sports cars just to provide lighting for the concert. What does it mean to have luxury cars? It means that it will attract people’s attention. Normally, when a luxury car appears, people will take a second glance at it.

Even if it were me, if I saw so many luxury cars, I would be curious about what’s going on.”\nTian Hongqing: “That’s right. Think about this. With so many luxury cars at the entrance, plus everything in the nightclub being free, any normal person would want to go in and find out what’s going on. Even if they couldn’t go in, they would try and find out from the crowd about the situation inside. Am I right?”\nHost: “Um, indeed. People in the Heavenly State love lively scenes. The planning team was able to use that to their advantage.”\nTian Hongqing: “Yes. The foundation of popularity has been gained. But don’t underestimate this popularity.

Then comes the main and most important point of the plan.”\nTian Hongqing: “With the basic popularity, the planning team announced Li Nianwei’s free concert almost immediately. What does this imply? It means that those people who experienced Miss Li Nianwei sing at Ye Lai Xiang nightclub would promote for her. Think about it—free of charge, good songs—it’s very attractive in itself. Then there is the concert. It would have been boring if no one attended it. All the people who were at Ye Lai Xiang invited everyone they knew. There should be around two thousand people at Ye Lai Xiang at that moment. For each one of them to bring three or four people to the concert, that shouldn’t be a problem. How many people would there be?”\nHost: “I’m suddenly enlightened by your words. That would make almost ten thousand people!”\nTian Hongqing: “That’s right. You see, that’s a guaranteed crowd of at least ten thousand people. As the saying goes, three people spreading reports of a tiger would make you believe there is one around. In addition to the leaflets that the planning team gave out, the news spread from mouth to mouth. There was no need to worry about popularity. There was another benefit to this. Without these people spreading the news, who would believe the concert was free?”\nHost: “That’s true. It’s a big deal that the concert is free of charge. The average person would not believe it.”\nTian Hongqing: “Which is why, with these people around, there would be no problem gathering the crowd. One more thing that the planning team did right was focusing the promotion of the publicity on the people in Tianjing City, West Four Loops. The stadium where Miss Li Nianwei held her concert was in the West Four Loops. A free concert where popularity was guaranteed. The result was obvious.”\nHost: “Oh yes, that’s right!

It was as if he stabilized the ocean with a magic needle.\nWith the mess they were in, his power was both a source of comfort and hope.\n\"Jianmu has a lot of life force left. Additionally, the Green-Wood Sky Net Array seems to be able to stay strong. They should be able to hold out until the mountain master arrives!\"\nOutside, the Tentacle Giant outside roared and charged the mouth of the valley. It then tore the screen harshly with its sharp three-fingered claws. Buzz!\nThe green light vibrated, causing the disciples to feel extremely uneasy.\nSuddenly, one disciple shouted as he grabbed his throat. His eyeballs exploded and a black tentacle crawled out from his mouth.\n\"It's a parasite!\"\nAh Duo lept towards him, stretching out his hands. He took something similar to a black octopus out from the disciple's chest and swallowed it whole.\nThe disciple had already lost his life force and was dead.\n\"Quick!\"\nExtreme Darkness witnessed the scene and immediately commanded, \"Hand down the Magic Pendant Water and open the Pacify Heart Array. Disciples, remain calm and do not panic!\"\nDemon spirits used various types of strong emotions as fuel. If there was panic anywhere near the demon seeds, something bad would happen.\n\"Whoever discovered the unusual user, kill him immediately!\"\nThe chaos world had severe punishments. Extreme Darkness, who had plenty of experience with that world, would not be soft-hearted at all.\n… \"Looks like Extreme Darkness is responding well, I was worried for nothing!\"\nAt the center of the Green-Wood Sky Net Array, Fang Yuan sat cross-legged on the tree's crown and nodded his head.\nAfter restoring his dream master's cultivation, he drove the sword into the air and flew as fast as lightning. Naturally, he arrived early. No one likes a plot where the main character appears in the nick of time in order to save the day.\nOn a whim, he stayed hidden to see how well the small team he had created could resist pressure. As he had the harnessed the array's highest power, no one found him.\nFor now, the situation looked good.\n\"Extreme Darkness is very experienced and Mengmei has a knack for management. Even though the foundation of the 9 Extremes Mountain may be lacking and are unstable, the mountain is still usable as long as we have time to settle.\"\nFang Yuan looked towards the side of the mountain currently being attacked by the Tentacle Giant. He took a step forward and said, \"And… this farce should also end!\"\nKaboom!\nThe heavens and earth shook and another humongous giant appeared. It seemed like the black eagle-feathered beast had appeared out of thin air. It threw a punch at the Tentacle Giant.\nIt was as if Pan Gu had split open heaven and earth. Infinite energy was concentrated into a force that immediately attacked the Tentacle Giant.\nPing! Ping!\nAn explosion rang into the air as the tentacles on its body broke off one by one. The Tentacle Giant shrilled, \"This is… energy from a demon's heart! How are you able to borrow such a concentration of demonic heart energy?\"\nThe demon spirits were special. They were difficult to injure using average energy. Demons at the level of demon general were even more difficult to defeat.\nHowever, Fang Yuan was different.\nAs a Tier 4 Illusionary Divine dream master, he was able to grasp the elemental force of dream. By simply using it and transferring it to his fist, he could seriously harm the demon generals.\n\"Who's there?\"\nThe Giant fell to the ground. A large number of tentacles spread out from its body. \"Who… dares harm the great Ahmo Fanduo?\"\nThese tentacles produced a thick, purple liquid that allowed the injury to heal quickly.\n\"This is so disgusting!\"\nAs if he were smashing an egg to pieces, Fang Yuan countered the giant's defense. An invisible power struck, cutting off the tentacles.\nThis type of demon general might have been very troublesome for Fang Yuan's True Divine, but for the dream master from the 7th Tier Illusionary Divine, it could be restrained.\nAfter all, they were all made out of dream energy.\nAnd for the demon general under his feet, it was very unlucky to meet Fang Yuan when he was at his peak.\nThump!\nSuddenly, the Tentacle Giant exploded. An unbearable stench rose from the thick fluid into the air.\nFrom the explosion, a line of black light shot in the direction of the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion.\n\"Wanna go? You have to ask me first!\"\nFang Yuan raised his hands and the power of the Modest Wind Sword emerged. His palm was extremely graceful, moving as if it went across space to the edge of the world. He was able to hold onto the black light in a flash.\n\"Seal!\"\nA dark silver elemental dream force surged violently. It became lines of fine, packed chains made from symbols. These surrounded the black light and became a firm seal.\nOnly the elemental dream force could be used to deal with demon spirits!\nThe sealing method was one of Fang Yuan's recent innovations. He had used the research done by the dream masters of Da Qian Empire as his foundation and added the realization content obtained from the seal's body. It was well done. As soon as it completely sealed, there was no chance of escaping it.\nHigh in the air, the illusionary giant snake seemed sluggish. \"It was so easily defeated?\" it said.\n\"That person is not weak!\"\nThe black fire surrounding 3-tailed Scorpion Lion burned and glared at Fang Yuan. \"He is not only a sacred martial artist among the humans, but he also uses demonic heart energy. An average demon general is no match for the combination of these two!\"\n\"However… humankind! You shouldn't provoke me!\"\nIt roared and the black flames covered the sky. They set the day on fire.\n\"Happiness, anger, and sadness… It used emotions to fuel the fire?\"\nFang Yuan glanced in the fire's direction and opened up his arms. \"Territory!\" he screamed.\nAn invisible power appeared and immediately blew the black fire out. He kept moving forward until he was in front of the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion and threw a punch. Kaboom!\nIt was as if the heavens and earth had been punched and broke, becoming a mess of earth, fire, wind, and water.\n\"Chaos Divine Fist!\"\nFang Yuan stared at the leader of the Demon Spirit army, the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion, focused.\n\"Bite of Nothingness!\"\nThe large, translucent snake sped forward and opened its mouth. It was like a black hole that was able to swallow the skies and devour the earth and met Fang Yuan's fist.\nKaboom! The sound traveled through the air. The four elements assembled and smothered the black hole. Without a decrease in power, they landed on the giant snake.\nCrack! Crack!\nVictim to the current of power, the torso of the giant snake cracked and broke into crystal-like pieces that danced in the air.\nA light flashed and the creature's breath quieted. Only its voice was left in its place. \"It actually escaped! Its ability to stay alive is not that bad!\"\nFang Yuan commended this ability but was not bothered by it. \"You are the controller of the demon spirits? Why are you attacking our mountain?\"\n\"Because you created a world that oppresses us!\"\nThe 3-tailed Scorpion Lion did not seem to be afraid as it spoke, \"Human, although you are strong, in the Demonic Heart Realm, you are more insignificant than ants… You will never know how strong we are… Ah!\"\nBefore it finished talking, it retreated quickly as Fang Yuan's fist landed on it.\n\"You speak too much nonsense!\"\nKaboom! The ground shook and a deep pit appeared. Fang Yuan transformed into a giant. He moved casually, twisting his neck while saying with a clear voice, \"I don't need to know the situation in Demonic Heart Realm. I only know that I am stronger than you right now and that's enough!\"\nWhile he shouted, lines of fiery-red symbols spread over his body. They became one with the original lines, forming a tight-fitting armor.\n\"God of Fire! God of Fire!\"\nA shadowy body appeared behind the giant. It looked ferocious. Its earlobes were hooked with fire snakes and a fire dragon flew underneath it. Unexpectedly, it was an image of the Fire Witch!\nIn his heart, Fang Yuan could feel that he had gained an extra power.\n\"This is the benefit of increasing the bloodline of a Fire Witch?\"\nAs if the ability wasn't out of the ordinary, Fang Yuan opened his mouth and the 9 Fiery Dragons hollered.\nRoar! Roar!\nBurning flames surrounded the 9 Fiery Dragons' bodies. They distorted everything with fire. The flames were not normal ones, they were real magical flames!\nThe normal demons in the spirit army at the bottom of the mountain had come into contact with some fire sparks and were immediately immolated. There was nothing left of them.\nIn addition, the fiery red, strong flames became stronger and more powerful as they smothered the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion's black fire.\n\"My special technique isn't the Fiery Dragons, but their flames!\"\nAbove Fang Yuan's fist was a ring of raging fire. Amazed, he thought, \"It can continuously transform by swallowing other spiritual fire types?\"\nOriginally, he had calculated that he would need to expose his trump card and place the Chaos Sword Array to drive away the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion. Looking at how things were going, it was probably unnecessary.\nThe 9 Fiery Dragons roared and flew around. All of the sudden, they combined into one and turned into a sun which fell towards 3-tailed Scorpion Lion.\n\"Ah… Who are you exactly?\"\nThe 3-tailed Scorpion Lion roared as the black flame surrounding it became its sole defense, like an island surrounded by the ocean.\nWhoosh! That next moment, the two raging flames intertwined, swiftly swallowing each other. The skies on both sides were completely polluted.\nCountless sparks fell. The demon spirit army was composed of dead and injured bodies.\nAfter an unknown period of time, the ground was peaceful again. \"It has escaped?\"\nFang Yuan held something that looked like a scorpion's tail and recited something under his breath.\nThe demon general was identical to the True Elementals and True Divines. The 3-tailed Scorpion Lion, on the other hand, was much more powerful. It was almost comparable to the 8th Tier of Illusionary Divine.\nFor this kind of strength, there was a price to pay.

第五百八十一章
出于对方元的恐惧，阿多还是提醒了一句：“等到大战结束之后，最好让我检查一下所有人。”
“潜藏么？”
柳梦眉面色一变。
阿多望着外面的人影，眼睛中充满了羡慕：“魔帅啊！ 真想吃了他！”
“就凭你，不被他吃了就不错了！”
旁边的极阴冷冰冰地道：“我已经联系上了山主，他承诺很快就会回来！”
“是么？ 那太好了！”
到了此时，她完全明白方元的作用，简直就是定海神针一般。
在乱世之中，那样的一个强者，就是一方安宁的保障与希望！
“建木的生机还有许多，天罗青木大阵完全撑得住，应当足够支持到山主到来！”
在柳梦眉等人的目光中，山口之外，触手巨人咆哮着，冲到了峡谷入口，只有三根手指的利爪狠狠撕向光幕。
绿色的光芒颤动，令所有的弟子都不安至极。
忽然间，一名弟子大叫一声，抓着自己的喉咙，眼珠暴突，从嘴里爬出了黑色的触手。
“寄生了！”
阿多飞扑过去，伸手一捞，从这名弟子胸膛内掏出了一只黑色章鱼模样的东西，直接一口吞下。
饶是如此，这名弟子也彻底失去了生机，活不成了。
“快！”
极阴见到这一幕，立即下命：“将定神符水都发下去，开启宁心大阵，传谕门人弟子，要保持心情平静，不能恐慌！”
魔灵以各种激烈情绪为养料，一旦恐慌沸腾，再配合魔种，会发生什么当真不好说的。
“还有，但凡发现异常者，立即杀了！”
乱世用重典，在这方面，经验丰富的极阴可不会有半点的妇人之仁。
“看来极阴应对得不错，我之前的担心有些多余了！”
天罗青木大阵核心，方元盘膝坐在树冠之上，看着这幕，不由默默点头。
恢复梦师修为之后，他御剑飞行，速度快若电光石火，自然早早赶到，没有闹出什么主角最后一刻出现救场的吐槽梗来。
但心血来潮之下，也想看看这个自己塑造出来的小团体的抗压能力，便隐于幕后，他拥有大阵的最高权限，自然无人能够发现。
现在看来，还是十分不错。
“极阴经验丰富，梦眉更有经理长才，虽然九绝山底蕴不足，根基不稳，但只需要时间沉淀，足可一用了。”
方元看向山外，那个不断攻击的触手巨人，向前一步：“还有……这个闹剧，也应该收场了！”
轰隆！
天地一震，又一个顶天立地的巨人，仿佛从蛮荒中走出，身上有着黑色的鹰翎纹路，向着触手巨人挥出一拳。
仿佛盘古开天辟地一般，浩瀚而难以难以言喻的力量，顿时落在了触手巨人身上。
砰砰！
伴随着爆炸声，它身上的触手一根根断裂，整个人发出凄厉的尖叫：“这是……心魔之力！ 你怎么能借用如此巨量的心魔之力？”
魔灵自身有着特性，普通凡俗之力难伤，而到了魔帅级别，更是如此。
但方元不同。
身为四重虚圣，掌握的梦元力，只是简单运用，附着在拳头之上，也能给魔帅们带来难以承受的伤害。
“是谁？”
巨人倒在地上，大量的触手从身体上蔓延出来：“是谁……敢伤害伟大的阿摩梵多？”
这些触手呈现酱紫色，带着粘稠的脓液，令伤口飞快复原。
“真是恶心！”
方元一脚踩下，仿佛踩碎一个鸡蛋，将巨人所有反抗镇压，无形的领域之力落下，将触手斩断。
或许此种魔帅对于真元真圣来说十分麻烦，但对于七重虚圣的梦师而言，却是刚好克制。
毕竟，都是利用梦元力的生物。
而脚下这个魔帅就很倒霉，遇到了巅峰状态下的方元。
砰！
忽然间，整个触手巨人炸开，腥臭的脓液四散。
而在爆炸当中，一道乌光则是如同黑线一般，飞快向着三尾蝎狮的方向射去。
“想走？ 先问问我！”
方元一抬手，巽风之力涌现，令他的手掌轻盈无比，仿佛跨越了空间的界限，一下就将那道乌光拿捏在手心。
“封印！”
暗银色的梦元力汹涌，又形成一道道细密的符文锁链，将乌光团团包裹，形成了一个牢固的封印。
要对付魔灵，唯有使用梦元力！
而这封印之法，却是方元推陈出新，以大乾世界梦师的研究为基础，又加入从封印之体中得到的部分感悟内容，圣人之下，一旦被彻底封禁，根本没有丝毫逃脱的指望。
高空中，虚幻的巨蛇似是有些呆滞：“居然这么轻易就败了？”
“那个人不简单！”
三尾蝎狮周身黑色的火焰熊熊燃烧，眸子警惕地盯着方元：“他不仅是人类中的武道圣者，还拥有利用心魔力的能力，两相结合之下，普通的魔帅，根本不是对手！”
你不该惹怒我！”
它咆哮着，黑色的烈焰一下席卷，遮天蔽日，焚烧而下。
“喜怒哀乐……以情绪为燃料的火焰么？”
方元瞥了眼，双手一张：“领域！”
一股无形之力张开，顿时将黑火排斥在外，他整个人不断向前，来到三尾蝎狮的对面，又是一拳轰出。
天地都仿佛被这一拳打破，重炼混沌，演化地火风水。
“混沌神拳！”
方元目光唯一，盯在了三尾蝎狮这个魔灵大军统领身上。
“虚无之噬！”
半透明的大蛇迅速上前，蛇吻张开，仿佛一个黑洞，吞天噬地，迎接向了方元的拳头。
虚空中传来一声巨响，地火风水汇聚，一下就将黑洞淹没，余势不减，直接落在巨蛇身上。
咔嚓！ 在洪流中，巨蛇的躯干顿时碎裂，化为冰晶一样的碎屑飞舞。
虚空一闪，大蛇的气息飞快远去，唯有一道声音在原地留存。
“居然被逃走了，保命能力不错！”
对于这个，方元只是赞了一句，就没有理会：“你是魔灵的主宰？ 为何进攻我的山门？”
“因为你造成了世界对我们压制加剧！”
三尾蝎狮丝毫不惧：“人类……虽然你很强，但在心魔界之中，仍旧连蝼蚁都算不上……你永远都不会知道，我们有多么强大……啊！”
话还没有说完，它就飞快倒退，因为方元的拳头已经落了下来。
“废话真多！”
地面一震，蓦然多出一个深坑，方元化身的巨人随意动弹，扭着脖子，发出清脆的声响：“心魔界中的情况，我不需要知道，我只知道，现在的我，比你强，那就足够了！”
在咆哮的同时，一道道火红色的符文在他身上蔓延，与原本的纹路融为一体，仿佛形成了紧贴皮肤的铠甲。
“祝融！
在巨人身后，另外一个虚影浮现，相貌狰狞，耳串火蛇，脚踏火龙，赫然是火之祖巫祝融的形象！
一种冥冥的感觉，顿时浮现在方元心头，令他知晓自己多了一样神通。
‘这就是祖巫血脉增加的好处？
仿佛本能一般，方元张开口，九道火龙就呼啸着喷出。
“吼吼！”
这九条火龙周身烈焰熊熊，将虚空都灼烧得扭曲不定，并且火焰并非凡火，而是真正的神通之火！
下方普通的魔灵大军，只是沾惹到了一点火星，就立即被焚烧殆尽，连一点渣滓都没有剩下。
甚至，这赤红色的烈焰，还在吞噬着三尾蝎狮所发的黑火，变得越发强盛妖冶起来。
“我的天赋神通，并非火龙，而是这火焰！”
方元拳头之上，一层烈焰熊熊燃烧着：“能通过吞噬其它灵异火类，而不断进化么？”
原本，他预估非得底牌尽出，布置混沌剑阵，才能将三尾蝎狮驱走，但此时，却是大可不必了。
九条火龙游动咆哮着，蓦然合一，化为一枚太阳，向三尾蝎狮坠落。
“啊……你到底是什么人？”
三尾蝎狮咆哮着，周身的黑色烈焰宛若海洋，形成了一层层的防御。
下一刹那，两种烈焰就交织在一起，飞快得吞噬着对方，将两边的天幕都彻底浸染。
无数流星火雨落下，原本的魔灵大军立即死伤惨重。
也不知道过去多久，大地终于恢复了平静。 “逃了么？”
方元手上拿着一条蝎尾一样的东西，沉吟不语。
魔帅便相当于真元真圣，而这三尾蝎狮，更是厉害非常，几乎可以与八重虚圣相比拟。
此种实力，哪怕自己想要留下对方，也要付出一定的代价。

Chapter 581 Fiery Dragon
Ah Duo also reminded them, "After the big war has ended, it's best for me to check everyone."
"What can it hide?"
Liu Mengmei face's changed.
Ah Duo looked at the shadows outside. His eyes were filled with envy, "Oh, demon general! I really want to eat them!"
"If I were you, I would be happy they haven't already eaten me!"
The Extreme Darkness said coldly, "I have already contacted the mountain master. He promised to come back as soon as possible!"
"What? That's great!"
Up to now, she had fully understood Fang Yuan's role. It was as if he stabilized the ocean with a magic needle.
With the mess they were in, his power was both a source of comfort and hope.
"Jianmu has a lot of life force left. Additionally, the Green-Wood Sky Net Array seems to be able to stay strong. They should be able to hold out until the mountain master arrives!"
Outside, the Tentacle Giant outside roared and charged the mouth of the valley. It then tore the screen harshly with its sharp three-fingered claws. Buzz!
The green light vibrated, causing the disciples to feel extremely uneasy.
Suddenly, one disciple shouted as he grabbed his throat. His eyeballs exploded and a black tentacle crawled out from his mouth.
"It's a parasite!"
Ah Duo lept towards him, stretching out his hands. He took something similar to a black octopus out from the disciple's chest and swallowed it whole.
The disciple had already lost his life force and was dead.
"Quick!"
Extreme Darkness witnessed the scene and immediately commanded, "Hand down the Magic Pendant Water and open the Pacify Heart Array. Disciples, remain calm and do not panic!"
Demon spirits used various types of strong emotions as fuel. If there was panic anywhere near the demon seeds, something bad would happen.
"Whoever discovered the unusual user, kill him immediately!"
The chaos world had severe punishments. Extreme Darkness, who had plenty of experience with that world, would not be soft-hearted at all.
… "Looks like Extreme Darkness is responding well, I was worried for nothing!"
At the center of the Green-Wood Sky Net Array, Fang Yuan sat cross-legged on the tree's crown and nodded his head.
After restoring his dream master's cultivation, he drove the sword into the air and flew as fast as lightning. Naturally, he arrived early. No one likes a plot where the main character appears in the nick of time in order to save the day.
On a whim, he stayed hidden to see how well the small team he had created could resist pressure. As he had the harnessed the array's highest power, no one found him.
For now, the situation looked good.
"Extreme Darkness is very experienced and Mengmei has a knack for management. Even though the foundation of the 9 Extremes Mountain may be lacking and are unstable, the mountain is still usable as long as we have time to settle."
Fang Yuan looked towards the side of the mountain currently being attacked by the Tentacle Giant. He took a step forward and said, "And… this farce should also end!"
Kaboom!
The heavens and earth shook and another humongous giant appeared. It seemed like the black eagle-feathered beast had appeared out of thin air. It threw a punch at the Tentacle Giant.
It was as if Pan Gu had split open heaven and earth. Infinite energy was concentrated into a force that immediately attacked the Tentacle Giant.
Ping! Ping!
An explosion rang into the air as the tentacles on its body broke off one by one. The Tentacle Giant shrilled, "This is… energy from a demon's heart! How are you able to borrow such a concentration of demonic heart energy?"
The demon spirits were special. They were difficult to injure using average energy. Demons at the level of demon general were even more difficult to defeat.
However, Fang Yuan was different.
As a Tier 4 Illusionary Divine dream master, he was able to grasp the elemental force of dream. By simply using it and transferring it to his fist, he could seriously harm the demon generals.
"Who's there?"
The Giant fell to the ground. A large number of tentacles spread out from its body. "Who… dares harm the great Ahmo Fanduo?"
These tentacles produced a thick, purple liquid that allowed the injury to heal quickly.
"This is so disgusting!"
As if he were smashing an egg to pieces, Fang Yuan countered the giant's defense. An invisible power struck, cutting off the tentacles.
This type of demon general might have been very troublesome for Fang Yuan's True Divine, but for the dream master from the 7th Tier Illusionary Divine, it could be restrained.
After all, they were all made out of dream energy.
And for the demon general under his feet, it was very unlucky to meet Fang Yuan when he was at his peak.
Thump!
Suddenly, the Tentacle Giant exploded. An unbearable stench rose from the thick fluid into the air.
From the explosion, a line of black light shot in the direction of the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion.
"Wanna go? You have to ask me first!"
Fang Yuan raised his hands and the power of the Modest Wind Sword emerged. His palm was extremely graceful, moving as if it went across space to the edge of the world. He was able to hold onto the black light in a flash.
"Seal!"
A dark silver elemental dream force surged violently. It became lines of fine, packed chains made from symbols. These surrounded the black light and became a firm seal.
Only the elemental dream force could be used to deal with demon spirits!
The sealing method was one of Fang Yuan's recent innovations. He had used the research done by the dream masters of Da Qian Empire as his foundation and added the realization content obtained from the seal's body. It was well done. As soon as it completely sealed, there was no chance of escaping it.
High in the air, the illusionary giant snake seemed sluggish. "It was so easily defeated?" it said.
"That person is not weak!"
The black fire surrounding 3-tailed Scorpion Lion burned and glared at Fang Yuan. "He is not only a sacred martial artist among the humans, but he also uses demonic heart energy. An average demon general is no match for the combination of these two!"
"However… humankind! You shouldn't provoke me!"
It roared and the black flames covered the sky. They set the day on fire.
"Happiness, anger, and sadness… It used emotions to fuel the fire?"
Fang Yuan glanced in the fire's direction and opened up his arms. "Territory!" he screamed.
An invisible power appeared and immediately blew the black fire out. He kept moving forward until he was in front of the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion and threw a punch. Kaboom!
It was as if the heavens and earth had been punched and broke, becoming a mess of earth, fire, wind, and water.
"Chaos Divine Fist!"
Fang Yuan stared at the leader of the Demon Spirit army, the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion, focused.
"Bite of Nothingness!"
The large, translucent snake sped forward and opened its mouth. It was like a black hole that was able to swallow the skies and devour the earth and met Fang Yuan's fist.
Kaboom! The sound traveled through the air. The four elements assembled and smothered the black hole. Without a decrease in power, they landed on the giant snake.
Crack! Crack!
Victim to the current of power, the torso of the giant snake cracked and broke into crystal-like pieces that danced in the air.
A light flashed and the creature's breath quieted. Only its voice was left in its place. "It actually escaped! Its ability to stay alive is not that bad!"
Fang Yuan commended this ability but was not bothered by it. "You are the controller of the demon spirits? Why are you attacking our mountain?"
"Because you created a world that oppresses us!"
The 3-tailed Scorpion Lion did not seem to be afraid as it spoke, "Human, although you are strong, in the Demonic Heart Realm, you are more insignificant than ants… You will never know how strong we are… Ah!"
Before it finished talking, it retreated quickly as Fang Yuan's fist landed on it.
"You speak too much nonsense!"
Kaboom! The ground shook and a deep pit appeared. Fang Yuan transformed into a giant. He moved casually, twisting his neck while saying with a clear voice, "I don't need to know the situation in Demonic Heart Realm. I only know that I am stronger than you right now and that's enough!"
While he shouted, lines of fiery-red symbols spread over his body. They became one with the original lines, forming a tight-fitting armor.
"God of Fire! God of Fire!"
A shadowy body appeared behind the giant. It looked ferocious. Its earlobes were hooked with fire snakes and a fire dragon flew underneath it. Unexpectedly, it was an image of the Fire Witch!
In his heart, Fang Yuan could feel that he had gained an extra power.
"This is the benefit of increasing the bloodline of a Fire Witch?"
As if the ability wasn't out of the ordinary, Fang Yuan opened his mouth and the 9 Fiery Dragons hollered.
Roar! Roar!
Burning flames surrounded the 9 Fiery Dragons' bodies. They distorted everything with fire. The flames were not normal ones, they were real magical flames!
The normal demons in the spirit army at the bottom of the mountain had come into contact with some fire sparks and were immediately immolated. There was nothing left of them.
In addition, the fiery red, strong flames became stronger and more powerful as they smothered the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion's black fire.
"My special technique isn't the Fiery Dragons, but their flames!"
Above Fang Yuan's fist was a ring of raging fire. Amazed, he thought, "It can continuously transform by swallowing other spiritual fire types?"
Originally, he had calculated that he would need to expose his trump card and place the Chaos Sword Array to drive away the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion. Looking at how things were going, it was probably unnecessary.
The 9 Fiery Dragons roared and flew around. All of the sudden, they combined into one and turned into a sun which fell towards 3-tailed Scorpion Lion.
"Ah… Who are you exactly?"
The 3-tailed Scorpion Lion roared as the black flame surrounding it became its sole defense, like an island surrounded by the ocean.
Whoosh! That next moment, the two raging flames intertwined, swiftly swallowing each other. The skies on both sides were completely polluted.
Countless sparks fell. The demon spirit army was composed of dead and injured bodies.
After an unknown period of time, the ground was peaceful again. "It has escaped?"
Fang Yuan held something that looked like a scorpion's tail and recited something under his breath.
The demon general was identical to the True Elementals and True Divines. The 3-tailed Scorpion Lion, on the other hand, was much more powerful. It was almost comparable to the 8th Tier of Illusionary Divine.
For this kind of strength, there was a price to pay. A Chinese idiom, referring to a person who is stable when met with critical situations.Creator of universe in Chinese mythology

第245章
清场（3）不过，这也是人之常情，再说了，叶浪才认识多久，人家和卡莎两人又有多久了，如果说这个时候换个位置的话，叶浪成为爱德华，那叶浪早就把爱德华遗忘了，连有空的时候也不会想起他来。
要说爱德华为什么可以一关一关的过，没有叶浪的帮忙，照理说早就被人奔剔除了，这么黑的人，又怎么能配得上卡莎小姐！
这其实也是因为他人黑，才能顺利的通过！
亚历山大城主正巧看到了爱德华，不过他却没有让人把爱德华赶出去，而是说，让这个人通过，也要有人陪衬一下，这样也能让我的市民知道，我是一视同仁的。
而城主大人相信，以自己女儿的眼光，怎么也不会看上这个黑乎乎的东西，自然也就不用去担心！
只是结果却让人意外，城主大人自己都不知道，自己其实也在促成这段缘分！
这或许也是爱德华的运气，不知道是不是因为叶浪给他带来的运气。
“叶浪，败家子？ 你确定你要用这份，不需要修改吗？” 当第一个把关的人看到叶浪的资料，皱着眉问道。
嗯，不需要修改！”
叶浪回道。 这些关卡，考的都是一些基础，不一定要全部通过，是要看你的总分，总会有人在某些方面比较弱，又不是要选一个全才，只要有一方面突出就可以。
如果说一个什么都会全才与一个只有一项才能的专才，但专才的这个才能远远高于这个全才的水平，那别人一定会要那个专才。
全才其实就等于庸才，除非你能每个领域都在顶尖，但人的精力是有限的，贪多则嚼不烂，而能有一技之长就已经很强了。
言归正传，对于这些应试问题，叶浪很轻松的就过关了，因为这些对他来说不要太简单了，就这种应试考试，相信这个大陆没有一个人能比叶浪强！
叶浪有着让人羡慕的超强记忆力，并且他没事都会拿着书看！
似乎叶蓝雨等人也喜欢叶浪看书，因为叶浪在看书舟时候会很安静，不会到处乱跑，也就不会走丢，不会惹事。
“还有没有，没有了吗？”
叶浪有些失望地说道。
这个是什么人啊，考试考上瘾了啊！ “你还是进去吧，就算还有其他的，你也不用考了，你太出色了！ ！”
刚刚叶浪所有的考试都是满分，即便是考官出再难的题目，他都能答出来，甚至连他们不知道答案的题目，也是一样被叶浪答出来了。
根据这次的规则，叶浪就算少考几个也是一样可以过，更何况他全部考了！
很快，叶浪就进去与那些成功的人会和，这是城主城堡的一个会客厅，他们都在等最后一个人到来，也就是叶浪。
当然了，他们不会觉得叶浪这么慢，因为按照他们的想法，叶浪不应该是最后一个，后面还会有很多人。
他们相信，或许这一天都有可能在这里等着，喝喝茶聊聊天，在这里与竞争对手相处。
而或许，这也是一种考验，所以这些人都是保持着他们的风度，没有嘲笑那些普通人，比如在里面的小黑，呃，爱德华。
当叶浪进来的时候，引起了所有人的主意，不是因为知道他是最后一个，也不是叶浪做出什么出格的事情，也不是因为叶浪说什么特别的话。
引起大家注意的是叶浪身边的小蕊，除了因为被小蕊的完美外表所吸引外，还有一个很重要的原因，那就是小蕊是一个女的！
在这个场合之下，在场的所有人都没有携带女眷，就算是他们最亲近的，可能以前是形影不离的，也是一样暂时不带。
毕竟，这是来相亲的！
而叶浪现在却带着这么一个完美的小蕊过来，这自然会让人觉得很怪，很吸引人的注意！
嘿嘿，要的就是这点，我就是要你们全部看我，我要将你们一个个解决，让小黑那小子顺利的有情人终成眷属！
！ 看我吧，尽管看我吧！
叶浪很是坦然的接受着大家的目光，带着小蕊慢慢地走入大厅，找了一个位子坐下，吃着上面那些精致的点心，享受着清香怡人的香茗！
而这个时候，叶浪也没有去找爱德华说话，并不是他知道爱德华的心声，只是因为他想要让爱德华再低调一点，那就不会让他受到关注！
“这位公子，未请教！ ｎ附近的一个贵族公子与叶浪搭讪道．反正在这里也是等着，多结交一个朋友也不会有错。
叶浪拱拱手，同样有礼地回道。
“在下约翰尼？ 修斯，听叶公子的口音，似乎并不是艾拉帝国之人？”
约翰尼试探性地问道。 “我不是，我只是路过这里，看到城主之女想要嫁人，我就过来看看。” 叶浪很随意地说道。
这话让人可以确定，他并不是慕名而来的，他对卡莎小姐是没有感情的，仅仅是凑热闹的！
在这个时候，所有人都不由得投来一股鄙视的眼神，对叶浪这样的行为进行鄙视，这可是神圣的事情，怎么能这样随便，就好像是路过购物一样。
不过，如果细细研究的话，这些人本身与这 个本质上也没有太大的区别，他们与叶浪一样，与卡莎小姐都是没有任何感情的！
“那你对卡莎小姐有多少了解？” 约翰尼问道，与此同时，他也与叶浪喝了一口茶，以此表示友好之意。
废话，谁不知道，这个还需要说吗？
“还有，我知道她叫卡莎，至于她姓什么我就不知道了。”
听到这里，附近的人还有关注着叶浪的人，都对叶浪进行再一次的鄙视，深深的鄙视…Z！

249.第249章
一枚玉简！
很好！
真当本长老是个空气了？ 我倒是要看看，拆了你的房子，你还怎么当缩头乌龟！” 邵允咬牙切齿道。
说完，邵允聚起庞大的元力，逼得围观的弟子不住倒退，真的是要将叶远的房子轰成渣的样子。
看到邵允竟然聚集起如此庞大的元力，众人不由暗暗咂舌。
然而就在这个时候，大门“吱呀”一声开了。
开门声分外刺耳，众人都是不由自主向那边看去。
原以为能看到叶远连滚带爬的身影，却看到了一只绿色的小精灵，正是绿儿。
邵允见大门终于开了，这才收了功法，心中一阵冷笑。
“哼！ 果然是属驴的，不打不动！” 邵允冷哼一声。
绿儿没有说话，只是向邵允招了招手，示意他过来说话。 那样子，显得十分神秘。
邵允还以为绿儿是叫他进屋去谈，于是上前几步准备进门。
他是来让叶远知道什么叫做天外有天，人外有人的，不是让一群弟子看戏的。
如果让这些弟子知道他来找叶远，是为了比试丹道，那只能是自掉身价，即使赢了也不光彩。
丹堂五席赢了一个武堂的核心弟子，这不是自己打自己脸吗？
太上长老已经吩咐了不能透露叶远的丹堂长老身份，邵允自然不敢触霉头。
只是他刚进了大门，正要往里走的时候，却被绿儿伸手拦住了。
邵允面色一沉，道：“你这是什么意思？”
绿儿小声道：“少爷说了，他现在忙于修炼，没有功夫和人比试炼药术，长老还请回吧。”
“我都进来了，让我回去？
绿儿打断了他的话，递给他一个玉简，说道：“少爷说将这个交给你，你自己就会走的。”
邵允伸手接过玉简，冷笑道：“一枚玉简就要将我打发走？ 叶远以为他是谁？
一个小小的灵液四重，竟然目中无人到了如此地步！” 绿儿道：“长老何不先看看玉简？ 少爷既然如此说了，自然有几分信心。”
“哈哈，真是可笑！ 好，我倒是要看看，叶远怎么用一枚玉简将我打发走！”
邵允是个好胜的主，绿儿稍稍施了激将法，这家伙就中招了。 其实绿儿也不知道玉简里的是什么东西，只是少爷这么说了，他自然不打无把握之仗。
当然，更重要的是，邵允根本就不相信，叶远能用一枚玉简将他打发走。
邵允猜测，玉简里应该是一种丹方，叶远应该是想用一种丹方来收买自己。
他想的太简单了！
以为会背几个丹方就了不起？ 会背丹方不代表会炼药术！
就算叶远有个很了不起的师傅，教会他无数种丹方，他也只是个初级丹师！
邵允今天来，就是想让叶远知道，他只是个丹师而已！
邵允的神识沉入玉简，脸上的表情不由一愣，旋即皱起了眉头，然后又变得茫然，接着是眼睛一亮，最后则是一脸痴迷。
绿儿一直盯着邵允看，看到他脸上的表情变化如此之丰富，好奇之余，觉得少爷真是太厉害了。
起初听到少爷说这长老来是想找他比试炼药术，绿儿惊讶了半天。
在绿儿的认知里，准丹王可是极为厉害的存在，比老爷还要厉害！ 这样的人物，居然是来找少爷比试炼药术的！
不过惊讶归惊讶，她还是选择了相信少爷。
这种无理由的信任，连他自己都不知道为什么。 反正她就是相信，少爷是最强的，哪怕准丹王也比不上。
当然，认知是一回事，一枚玉简能不能让准丹王滚蛋又是另外一回事。
将玉简交给邵允的时候，绿儿还是心存忐忑的，但是见到邵允脸上那变戏法似的表情，绿儿就知道这长老应该是不会要进去了。
果然，少爷是最强的！
在众人愕然的目光中，邵允走了。
来时气势汹汹，差点将房子给拆了。
可是进屋不到半刻钟的时间，邵允长老就一脸痴迷地从院子里出来了，像是得到了什么宝贝。
“邵允长老这是怎么了？ 他刚才那个架势，怎么看也是去找茬的吧？
怎么现在这样了？” “你问我，我问谁去？ 他前前后后进院子待了不到半刻钟的时间，就是说话聊天也没这么快吧？”
“哎，你有没有觉得，这个新来的叶远神神秘秘，好像一副深不可测的样子？”
“说起来，倒还真是有那么一点！ 你有没有发现，曾诚师兄已经回来很长时间了，却一直没来找叶远的麻烦？”
“嘿嘿，这个我倒是听说了。 他们俩还真照过面，不过曾诚师兄看了叶远的身份令牌之后，直接愣在了那里，连人家怎么走的都不知道！
这么夸张？ 那他完成了没有？”
“不知道，应该是没有完成吧？ 他一个灵液四重，就算是再逆天，也不可能完成九级任务吧？”
“呃，说的也是。”
叶远入宗门之后一直深居简出，只做了几件事情。 但是这几件事情，却是让他在众弟子中变得神秘起来。
而邵允自叶远那得到玉简之后，直接回到自己的炼丹房闭关，连其他人都没有通知。
一众长老还在等他的消息，可是他却像是人间蒸发了一样。
久久等不到邵允的消息，长老们才派人来地字营打听。
这一打听，才知道邵允已经来过了，不过是来也匆匆去也匆匆。
一路询问之下，他们才知道邵允是回自己的住处了。
然而长老们又到住处一问，才知道邵允直接闭关了，谁都不见！
绕了一大圈，却等来这么一个消息，真的是将众人雷的外焦里嫩。
这老小子，也太不负责了吧！
搞得所有人都在等你的消息！
不过不爽归不爽，众人更是觉得疑惑了。 就算叶远真的水平极高，总不会半刻钟的时间就让邵允铩羽而归吧？
邵允在叶远的住处，到底经历了什么？

Chapter 249: A Jade Slip!
Chapter 249: A Jade Slip!
Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor
"Good! Very good! Really treating this elder as air? I want to see just how you be a turtle after I tear down your house!" Shao Yun gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.
Finishing, Shao Yun gathered up a colossal amount of essence energy, forcing the surrounding disciples back as if he was really going to wreck Ye Yuan's house.
Watching Shao Yun gather up such immense essence energy, the crowd could not help being dumbstruck. If this really smashed down, forget about the house, even Ye Yuan would become residue, right?
But right then, the door squeaked open.
The sound of the door opening was ear-piercing. Everyone could not help looking over in that direction.
They initially thought that they could see Ye Yuan's form scrambling over here, but they saw a little green pixie. It was precisely Lu-er.
Shao Yun only put away his skill after he saw the gate finally open. He sneered coldly in his heart.
"Humph! As expected, he belongs to the family of donkeys! He won't move unless he's hit!" Shao Yun snorted frostily.
Lu-er did not say anything. She just beckoned towards Shao Yun, signaling him to come over and talk. She looked very mysterious.
Shao Yun thought that Lu-er was asking him into the house to talk. Hence, he went forward a few steps and was about to enter the door.
He came to let Ye Yuan know what was called heaven beyond heaven, and human beyond human, not let a bunch of disciples watch a show.
If he let these disciples know that he came to find Ye Yuan to compete in alchemy, it would only lower his social status. Even if he won, it would not be honorable.
The Pill Hall's Fifth Seat winning a Martial Hall core disciple. Wasn't this him hitting his own face?
Grand Elder had already instructed not to reveal Ye Yuan's Pill Hall elder identity. Shao Yun naturally did not dare to poke the bull.
Except, when he entered the gate and was just about to walk inside, Lu-er extended her hand to stop him.
Shao Yun's face fell as he asked, "What's the meaning of this?"
Lu-er said in a soft voice, "Young Master says that he's busy with cultivation currently and doesn't have the time to spar in alchemy skills with others. Elder, please go back."
"I already came in. Making me go back? Ye Yuan, he . . ."
Lu-er interrupted his words and passed him a jade slip, saying, "Young Master said to pass this to you, and you'll leave on your own."
Shao Yun reached over to take the jade slip and snickered icily as he said, "Trying to dismiss me with one jade slip? Who does Ye Yuan think he is? A puny little Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm actually dare to be so arrogant and look down on others to such an extent!"
Lu-er said, "Why don't elder take a look at the jade slip first? Since Young Master said so, he naturally has some confidence."
"Haha, what a joke! Fine, I want to see just how Ye Yuan will use a jade slip to send me away!"
Shao Yun was a competitive soul. Lu-er slyly slipped in some goading, and this fellow fell for it. In reality, Lu-er did not know what was inside the jade slip either. It was just that Young Master said so. He obviously would not fight a battle he had no confidence in.
Of course, the more important thing was that Shao Yun simply did not believe that Ye Yuan could send him along his way using a jade slip.
Shao Yun guessed that there should be a pill formula inside the jade slip. Ye Yuan should be thinking of using a pill formula to bribe him.
He took this too lightly!
Think it's impressive that you can memorize a few pill formulas? Knowing how to recite pill formulas doesn't equate knowing alchemy skills!
Even if Ye Yuan had an incredible master who taught him countless types of pill formulas, he was only a low-rank Alchemy Master!
Today, Shao Yun came to let Ye Yuan know that he was merely an Alchemy Master!
Shao Yun sunk his divine sense into the jade slip. The expression on his face involuntarily froze. He immediately frowned, then became dazed. Following that, his eyes lit up, and finally, it was a mesmerized face.
Lu-er kept staring at Shao Yun. Observing how the look on his face changed so richly, on top of curiosity, she felt that Young Master was really too amazing!
At first, when she heard Young Master say that this elder wanted to find him to spar in alchemy skills, Lu-er was shocked for a long time.
In Lu-er's understanding, a Quasi-Alchemy King was an extremely powerful existence, even more amazing than Old Master! Such a figure actually came to compete with Young Master in alchemy skills!
However, shock was shock. She still chose to believe in Young Master.
This sort of baseless trust, even she herself did not know why. Anyway, she just believed that Young Master was the strongest. Even a Quasi-Alchemy King could not beat him.
Of course, her understanding was one thing. Whether or not this jade slip could let a Quasi-Alchemy King scram was another matter.
When she passed the jade slip to Shao Yun, Lu-er was still having doubts in her heart. But looking at that expression changing like a conjuring show on Shao Yun's face, Lu-er knew that this elder would not want to enter.
Indeed, Young Master was the strongest!
Under everyone's astonished eyes, Shao Yun left.
When he arrived, his aura was tumultuous, and he nearly tore the house down.
But not five minutes passed after he entered the house when Elder Shao Yun walked out of the courtyard with a besotted look like he had acquired some treasure.
"What's with Elder Shao Yun? His stance earlier, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like he went to find trouble, right? Why is it like this now?"
"Who do I ask if you ask me? It hasn't been five minutes since he entered the courtyard. Even having a conservation wouldn't be so quick, right?"
"Eh, do you feel that this newcomer Ye Yuan is full of mystery like he is unfathomable?"
"Speaking of which, it really seems to be a slightly so! Did you notice that Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng Cheng has already returned for a very long time, but still has not come to find trouble with Ye Yuan?"
"Hehe, I heard about that. The two of them really met before.

"Uh, that's true."
After Ye Yuan entered the sect, he stayed in his dwelling and had little outside contact. He only did a few things. But these few things made him appear mysterious in the disciples' eyes.
And after Shao Yun got that jade slip, he directly returned to his own refinement room without even informing other people.
The group of elders was still waiting for his news, but it was like he evaporated into thin air.
The elders only sent someone to inquire in the Earth Barracks after not getting Shao Yun's news for a long time.
They only knew that Shao Yun already went there with this inquiry. But he arrived hastily and left swiftly too.
They only knew that Shao Yun returned to his own residence after they continued investigating.
But the elders only knew that Shao Yun directly entered a retreat and was not meeting anyone after the elders went to his place to ask!
After going one big circle only to get such news, it really angered everyone until they were tender on the inside with a burnt exterior.
This old punk is too irresponsible! Notify us if you're entering seclusion!
You made everyone wait for your news!
However, while they were dissatisfied, everyone was even more doubtful now. Even if Ye Yuan's level was really extremely high, he could not have made Shao Yun return in defeat after five minutes, right?
Just what did Shao Yun experience at Ye Yuan's residence?

Clearly, they were also a refinement path master… no, to reach this step, they have to be at least a grandmaster in refinement path!\"\n\"They actually left behind an Immortal Gu as an inheritance. This is truly an immortal treasure! They put the clue in fake grey-white stone slabs, such creativity and innovation was really amazing. I wonder what kind of successor they want to choose…\"\nThe most crucial problem of the secret phrase was resolved, but even more questions popped out.\nFang Yuan shook his head and cleared up his disorganized thoughts.\n\"No matter what, this inheritance is related to an Immortal Gu, I need to give it a try with all my effort. Now, it should take over half a month at least to prepare the relevant Gu worms…\"\nLight in the soil, shine up to a hundred thousand feet high, swimming in the sky for a hundred li, praising plum fragrant snow — these four phrases might be simple, but Fang Yuan would not have been able to decipher them without his refinement path master attainment.\nBased on Fang Yuan's current comprehension, he needed over two hundred Gu worms to borrow the force of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and refine the mysterious Immortal Gu; among them were twenty-eight rank four and rank five Gu worms. And this number was only enough for one use.\nFang Yuan, in preparing the Gu refinement, would have to make at least three times the preparatory materials to prevent any errors during the Gu refinement process which could lead to failure. And in case he failed, he would require spare Gu worms.\nSixteen days later.\nIn the hall, Hei Lou Lan showed the demeanor of the 'Black Tyrant' to the fullest, shouting fiercely and wantonly venting out the anger in his heart.\nThe elders who were scolded and even beaten by Hei Lou Lan could not raise their heads and were quiet out of fear.\nEver since Hei Lou Lan entered Imperial Court blessed land, his temper had been getting increasingly violent. After Eighty-Eight True Yang Building opened, this change intensified and his temper became like a barrel of gunpowder, berating and beating his subordinates at the slightest pretext. As of today, there were already three Hei tribe elders who were heavily beaten by him and were still bedridden.\n\"Lord tribe leader, it is not us slacking in our duty, but this seventy-eighth round is truly too difficult. The golden-white tiger phantom guardian is too strong and has thirty percent of the desolate beast's powers. With our mortal bodies, no matter how much we try, we can only harass it and have no way to harm it heavily. Moreover, if the golden-white tiger goes on the offense, our Gu Masters would not be able to resist it.\"\nHei Pei, the head of the elders, waited for Hei Lou Lan to finish venting his anger, before cautiously speaking.\nHei Lou Lan glanced at him and cursed: \"Your words are bullshit! Golden-white tiger phantom might have strong attacking prowess, but as long as we all unite and disregard the sacrifices, we can definitely defeat it before the time limit! You guys are all afraid of difficulties, tarnishing my Hei tribe's reputation of bravery!\"\nThe elders shrunk their heads after being scolded, not daring to say anything.\nHei Lou Lan's words were actually not without reason.\nIt was already not the first time in dealing with the golden-white tiger phantom.\nIf they truly disregarded sacrifices, and people were willing to be cannon fodder and fought to give others an opportunity, even at the cost of their own lives under the claws of the golden-white tiger phantom, then Hei tribe's offense, although powerless, would accumulate with time, and could be like groups of ants biting an elephant, eventually defeating the golden-white tiger phantom.\nBut the truth of the matter was when the golden-white tiger phantom attacked, everyone feared for their life and was afraid of going forward, causing Hei Lou Lan's advancement in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to stop at this round, unable to progress any further.\nHei Lou Lan's shouts kept on resounding in the hall.\nRight now, no one dared to antagonize this furious Black Tyrant who did not spare even his tribesmen.\nAfter Hei Lou Lan vented his anger once more, he sat down on the main seat with a gloomy expression.\nHis heart was filled with pent-up fury, especially when he looked at these silent elders, he felt sick to his stomach.\nBesides anger, he felt helplessness.\nDuring the Imperial Court contest, these Hei tribe elders had fought bravely and had no fear. But in this place, they were worried for their safety, where did their courage go?\nActually, Hei Lou Lan understood.\nDuring the Imperial Court contest, rewards and punishments were openly issued; people fought to be the first, competing for fame and fortune, to be stronger and to survive.\nHowever, in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, the rewards for passing the stages would go to the tribe leader which caused everyone to have very little incentive to charge through the rounds.\nThe most important reason was that they had already won the Imperial Court contest and there were no more threats to their survival, and there were also many inheritances outside the sacred palace. As long as they survived this period of time, they were bound to have an even more radiant future when they exited Imperial Court blessed land.\nOnly fools would do things like abandoning their lives and acting as cannon fodder to help someone else!\nHei tribe's elders were all extremely crafty.\nPreserving their lives was most important, and besides that, so what if they were scolded and beaten by Hei Lou Lan? Even if Hei Lou Lan heavily injured them and they had to lie on the bed, it was nothing compared to dying.\nHei Lou Lan was aware of the elders' thoughts.\n'Even if I am a rank five expert, I cannot control their will. Once there is no unity, it will not be easy to lead even if the tribe is stronger. Never mind…'\nHei Lou Lan sighed inwardly and spoke: \"Since it is so, then I can only open up Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and gather everyone's strength to charge through the rounds.\"\nRequesting outside help required guest tokens.\nBut right now, besides Hei tribe, there were also other Huang Jin tribes like Ye Lui tribe, Ma tribe and so on in Imperial Court blessed land.\nOne could imagine that once Hei Lou Lan opens up Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to them, these people would definitely charge forward madly. With this, they could be the cannon fodder.\nAfter hearing Hei Lou Lan's words, the elders exchanged veiled communication with each other through their gazes. This method allowed them to stay away from the vanguard position, but they were somewhat unwilling.\nThe first elder Hei Pei stepped forward: \"Lord tribe leader, this is a clever method but we need to keep up our guard. These people might have the old ancestor's bloodline running through them, but they are not of our Hei tribe. When they pass the rounds and get the benefits, I am afraid they won't hand over anything.\"\n\"That's right, lord.\" Elder Hei Qi Sheng also added, \"Our Hei tribe racked our brains and suffered great difficulties before we were able to emerge as the winner in this time's Imperial Court contest. This Eighty-Eight True Yang Building is ours, why should we share it with outsiders?\"\n\"There are precedents of such actions, but when looking at history, those were all weak tribes who won by fluke and did not have the ability to get through the stages, so they had no choice but to mobilize other Huang Jin tribes. Our Hei tribe is strong and has many competent experts, how can we seek other's help?\"\n\"Hmph!\" Hei Lou Lan raised his brows, \"Since our troops are strong, why are we not able to challenge even one golden-white tiger phantom? You group of dogshit trash, only cherishing your lives dearly, but when I want to bring in outsiders to stake their lives for us, you are afraid of them taking the benefits? Do you think there is such a good thing in this world?\"\nDifferent from these elders, Hei Lou Lan was already feeling very anxious.\nHe was the possessor of Great Strength True Martial physique and must obtain a strength path Immortal Gu to advance to Gu Immortal.\nOnly by becoming an immortal, could he alleviate this threat to his life.\nAlthough they were defeated repeatedly at this round, Hei Lou Lan thought of it as a good opportunity.\nHe took the chance to create difficulty and shouted once again.\nHis furious shouts resounded in the hall, causing everyone's ears to hear buzzing.\nDue to Hei Lou Lan's might and terrifying reputation, the elders could only choose to compromise.\nThe first elder Hei Pei said with worry: \"Opening Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to others is like letting in a torrent, once its momentum increases, it will definitely cause disastrous losses. I suggest we place some limits. Wolf King Chang Shan Yin was a lesson that is right before us.\"\nThese words immediately caused an intense commotion among the elders.\nSomeone said with a bitter tone: \"Right, Wolf King is really a hoodlum, he is hogging the benefits all to himself. Right now, he is in closed-door cultivation, maybe inwardly laughing to himself!\"\nSomeone scoffed with disdain: \"Eighty-Eight True Yang Building belongs to Hei tribe, we let him participate to tackle the round because we thought highly of him. But he repays us like this, hmph, what dogshit northern plains hero, he is just an ungrateful thief!\"\nSomeone said with a cold and gloomy gaze: \"In my opinion, when we open up Eighty-Eight True Yang Building this time, we should not bring Chang Shan Yin in. This will teach him a lesson!\"\nHei Lou Lan coldly snorted, he was naturally greatly dissatisfied with Fang Yuan's behavior. If it was someone else, he would have already taken action.\nBut Chang Shan Yin was not a measly character, his bearing in the decisive battle of the Imperial Court contest was still deeply engraved in Hei Lou Lan's mind.\nHowever, openly excluding Chang Shan Yin was not appropriate as well. Not only would that be a display of narrow-mindedness, in case Wolf King was offended, even if Chang Shan Yin did not make a move, he still had the azure wolf group.\n\"First elder Hei Pei, since you mentioned this, then let's hear it.\" Hei Lou Lan spoke.\nHe paused before continuing: \"As for outsiders that want to enter the tower, they need to pay a high price to purchase our guest tokens!\"\nEvery elder present at the scene immediately had bright gazes as they praised this suggestion.\nHei Lou Lan swept over the scene once before leaning back on his chair, slowly closing his eyes: \"Alright, this matter shall be done as Hei Pei says.\"\nHei Pei was exulted: \"Lord tribe leader is wise and powerful, thank you lord tribe leader for your appreciation.\"\nThe news of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building opening to the outside spread and immediately caused a huge sensation in the sacred palace.\nCountless people rushed to the place of registration; one side cursed Hei tribesmen for their ruthlessness in asking such a greatly high fee, while another side paid generously and even fought others for a quota to enter. Fang Yuan observed indifferently, but he was inwardly happy.\nRight now, inheriting Di Qiu inheritance was of the utmost priority to him.\nEven if Hei Lou Lan took the initiative to invite him, he would not have been very willing. While the others had their attentions on Eighty-Eight True Yang Building now, it was the perfect time for him to make his move on the inheritance!"

贪生怕死因由何？
“说起来，这中洲的蛊仙亦是厉害，居然能看破八十八角真阳楼的漏洞，并且利用到这种层次。 很显然，他（她）同样是炼道大师，不，能达到这一步，至少是炼道宗师！”
这是真正的仙藏！ 他（她）利用赝品灰白石板当做线索，更是匠心独运，想法奇妙。
最关键的密语解决了，但更多的问题冒了出来。
方源摇摇头，将脑海中杂乱的思绪排清。
“不管怎么说，这份传承关乎仙蛊，我都要尽力一试。
土中蕴光，芒高万丈，百里天游，咏梅雪香——这四句话虽然简单，但方源若非有炼道大师的底子，还破译不出。
单就方源目前理解的成果而言，要借助八十八角真阳楼的伟力回流，炼成神秘仙蛊，需要的蛊虫多达两百余只，其中有四转五转蛊虫
要知道，这还只是一次性成功的数量。 方源要准备炼蛊，至少得有三倍的准备，以防止炼蛊过程中的失误，而导致炼蛊失败。 但他失败的时候，就需要备用蛊虫了。
十六天后。
大殿中，黑楼兰尽显“黑暴君”的风范，狰狞咆哮，恣意地发泄着心中的愤怒。
被黑楼兰训得抬不起头来，甚至惨遭拳打脚踢的众家老们，一个个噤若寒蝉。
黑楼兰自从进入了王庭福地之后，脾气就越来越暴躁。 八十八角真阳楼开启以来，他更是变本加厉，脾气仿佛火药桶般，动辄对属下训斥暴打。
守关的金白虎虚像，实力强悍，已有荒兽的三成。 我等凡躯，拼尽全力，也只能骚扰，没有强大的攻击手段。 而且，一旦金白虎发动攻势，我方蛊师万难抵挡啊。”
作为家老之首的黑沛，待黑楼兰发泄了一通之后，小心翼翼地觐言道。
黑楼兰斜了他一眼，骂道：“你说的都是屁话！ 金白虎虚像攻势虽强，但只要我们万众一心，不计牺牲，肯定能在时限前，了结掉它！ 你们一个个都畏难不前，我黑家的勇武之名，都被你们丢光了！”
家老们被训得缩头垂眉，都不敢说话。
黑楼兰的话，其实不无道理。
对付金白虎虚像，已经不是第一次了。
若是真的不计牺牲，主动有人充当炮灰，即便丧生在金白虎虚像的爪下，也能为他人争取时间。 黑家众人的攻势，虽然绵绵无力，但只要时间充足，积少成多，必然能够群蚁噬象，将金白虎虚像打垮。
但事实是，金白虎虚像一旦发动攻击，众人都贪生怕死，畏缩不前，导致黑楼兰对八十八角真阳楼的攻略，一直卡在此关，无法再进一步。
大殿中回荡着黑楼兰的咆哮之声。
没有人敢在这个时候，去忤逆这个发怒起来就六亲不认的黑暴君。
黑楼兰发泄了一通后，阴沉着脸，坐到主位上。
他心中郁愤，尤其是看着这些默不作声的家老们，更是气不打一出来。
除了愤怒之外，他也有无奈。
王庭之争中，这些黑家的家老们各个奋勇争先，勇猛无畏。 但是到了此处，却是畏手畏脚，胆气去哪里了？
黑楼兰心中也理解。
王庭之争，赏罚公明，人人争先奋战，都是为了名利，为了强大，为了生存。
到了八十八角真阳楼，过关的奖赏，都归于族长之手。 众人闯关的积极性就很低了。
最关键的一个原因是，王庭之争已经得胜，再无生存的危机，哪怕是圣宫之外的传承，也有许多。 只要安然度过这段时间，出了王庭福地之后，必将有更加光明的未来。
将身家性命舍弃，充当炮灰，去成全别人，傻子才干这种事情呢！
黑家的家老们，各个都是人精。
保住性命是首要，除此之外，就算被黑楼兰骂得狗血喷头，又能怎样？ 就算被黑楼兰暴打，躺在病榻上，和死亡一比，又算得了什么呢？
黑楼兰对众家老的心思心知肚明。
“纵然我是五转强者，也操纵不了人心啊。 人心一散，再强大的部族也不好带。
黑楼兰心中叹息一声，开口道：“既是如此，那我就只好开放八十八角真阳楼，集众人之力攻关。”
请外援，需要来客令。
但现在的王庭福地中，除了黑家之外，还有其他大量的黄金部族族人。 譬如耶律家、马家等等。
可以想见，一旦黑楼兰开放八十八角真阳楼给他们，那么这些人必定趋之若鹜。 这样一来，就可以引做炮灰了。
黑沛大家老出列道：“族长大人，此计虽妙，但却不可不防啊。 这些人虽然身上流淌着先祖的血脉，但却并非我黑家族长。
一旦通关，获得了好处，恐怕就吐不出来了。”
“是啊，大人。” 黑旗胜家老也附和道，“想我黑家殚精极虑，励精图治，千辛万苦才在此届王庭之争夺得了魁首。 这八十八角真阳楼都是我们的，何必要去让外人分羹呢？”
“此举虽有先例，但纵览历史，历来都是那些弱小部族侥幸得胜，本身没有能力攻关，只能发动其他黄金部族。 而我黑家兵强马壮，人才济济，怎么可能借他人之手呢？”
“哼！” 黑楼兰微挑眉头，“既是兵强马壮，为何连一头金白虎虚像都挑不过？ 你们这群狗屁东西，一个个惜身惜命，想要外人为自己拼命，却又怕外人得了好处。
和这些家老不同，黑楼兰心中早已焦急不耐。
他是大力真武体，必须得到一只力道仙蛊，方能晋升蛊仙。
也唯有晋升成仙，才能解决性命之忧。
虽然卡在了此关，屡战屡败，但对黑楼兰来讲，却是一个良机。
他趁机发难，再次当堂咆哮起来。
愤怒的吼叫，回荡在大殿当中，震得人双耳都有嗡鸣之感。
碍于黑楼兰的威势和凶名，家老们只得妥协。
黑沛大家老忧心忡忡地道：“开放八十八角真阳楼，等若倾泻洪水，一旦势大，势必损失惨重。 老臣建议，要加以遏制。
这番话，立即在众家老中引发了强烈的共鸣。
有人语气酸涩：“是啊，狼王太无赖了，拿了好处，一人独吞。 到现在都在闭关，恐怕在暗地里偷着乐呢！”
有人不屑地嗤笑：“八十八角真阳楼都是我黑家的，让他来攻关，是看得起他。 结果他却这样报答我们，哼，什么狗屁北原英雄，以我看实则是个忘恩负义之徒啊！”
有人目光阴冷：“依我看，这次开放八十八角真阳楼，就不要招呼常山阴了。 给他一个教训！”
黑楼兰冷哼一声，对于方源的表现，他当然也有大量的不满。 若是换做旁人，他早就动手了。
只是常山阴非同寻常，王庭决战的战斗身姿，至今还深深地印刻在他的心中。 说不忌惮，那是骗人的鬼话。
但明显排斥方源，也是不妥。 不仅失了气量，万一惹恼了狼王，就算常山阴不出手，他还有天青狼群呢。
“黑沛大家老，既然你提出了这个建议，那么就说说看吧。” 黑楼兰道。
顿了一顿，他又道：“至于外人，想要进楼，就得高价购买我们的来客令！”
这番话，顿时让在场的家老们眼中发亮，纷纷赞好。
黑楼兰目光扫视一圈，上半身往后倚靠，缓缓闭上了双眼：“也好，此事就给你去办了，黑沛。”
黑沛大喜：“族长大人英明神武，谢族长大人赏识。”
开放八十八角真阳楼的消息一出，立即就在圣宫中引起了轩然大波。
无数人涌到报名的地点，一边大骂着黑家族人的黑心肠，居然将入楼费用抬得这么昂贵，另一边则纷纷慷慨解囊，甚至为了争夺一个入楼的名额，相互之间大打出手。
现在对他而言，继承地丘传承，才是当务之急。
就算是黑楼兰主动邀他出手，他还不大乐意呢。 现在旁人都被八十八角真阳楼吸引了注意力，正是着手传承的大好时机！

Chapter 562: Reason for being cowardly and afraid of death?
"Speaking of it, this central continent Gu Immortal is truly amazing, seeing through Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's hole and also using such an idea. Clearly, they were also a refinement path master… no, to reach this step, they have to be at least a grandmaster in refinement path!"
"They actually left behind an Immortal Gu as an inheritance. This is truly an immortal treasure! They put the clue in fake grey-white stone slabs, such creativity and innovation was really amazing. I wonder what kind of successor they want to choose…"
The most crucial problem of the secret phrase was resolved, but even more questions popped out.
Fang Yuan shook his head and cleared up his disorganized thoughts.
"No matter what, this inheritance is related to an Immortal Gu, I need to give it a try with all my effort. Now, it should take over half a month at least to prepare the relevant Gu worms…"
Light in the soil, shine up to a hundred thousand feet high, swimming in the sky for a hundred li, praising plum fragrant snow — these four phrases might be simple, but Fang Yuan would not have been able to decipher them without his refinement path master attainment.
Based on Fang Yuan's current comprehension, he needed over two hundred Gu worms to borrow the force of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and refine the mysterious Immortal Gu; among them were twenty-eight rank four and rank five Gu worms. And this number was only enough for one use.
Fang Yuan, in preparing the Gu refinement, would have to make at least three times the preparatory materials to prevent any errors during the Gu refinement process which could lead to failure. And in case he failed, he would require spare Gu worms.
Sixteen days later.
In the hall, Hei Lou Lan showed the demeanor of the 'Black Tyrant' to the fullest, shouting fiercely and wantonly venting out the anger in his heart.
The elders who were scolded and even beaten by Hei Lou Lan could not raise their heads and were quiet out of fear.
Ever since Hei Lou Lan entered Imperial Court blessed land, his temper had been getting increasingly violent. After Eighty-Eight True Yang Building opened, this change intensified and his temper became like a barrel of gunpowder, berating and beating his subordinates at the slightest pretext. As of today, there were already three Hei tribe elders who were heavily beaten by him and were still bedridden.
"Lord tribe leader, it is not us slacking in our duty, but this seventy-eighth round is truly too difficult. The golden-white tiger phantom guardian is too strong and has thirty percent of the desolate beast's powers. With our mortal bodies, no matter how much we try, we can only harass it and have no way to harm it heavily. Moreover, if the golden-white tiger goes on the offense, our Gu Masters would not be able to resist it."
Hei Pei, the head of the elders, waited for Hei Lou Lan to finish venting his anger, before cautiously speaking.
Hei Lou Lan glanced at him and cursed: "Your words are bullshit! Golden-white tiger phantom might have strong attacking prowess, but as long as we all unite and disregard the sacrifices, we can definitely defeat it before the time limit! You guys are all afraid of difficulties, tarnishing my Hei tribe's reputation of bravery!"
The elders shrunk their heads after being scolded, not daring to say anything.
Hei Lou Lan's words were actually not without reason.
It was already not the first time in dealing with the golden-white tiger phantom.
If they truly disregarded sacrifices, and people were willing to be cannon fodder and fought to give others an opportunity, even at the cost of their own lives under the claws of the golden-white tiger phantom, then Hei tribe's offense, although powerless, would accumulate with time, and could be like groups of ants biting an elephant, eventually defeating the golden-white tiger phantom.
But the truth of the matter was when the golden-white tiger phantom attacked, everyone feared for their life and was afraid of going forward, causing Hei Lou Lan's advancement in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to stop at this round, unable to progress any further.
Hei Lou Lan's shouts kept on resounding in the hall.
Right now, no one dared to antagonize this furious Black Tyrant who did not spare even his tribesmen.
After Hei Lou Lan vented his anger once more, he sat down on the main seat with a gloomy expression.
His heart was filled with pent-up fury, especially when he looked at these silent elders, he felt sick to his stomach.
Besides anger, he felt helplessness.
During the Imperial Court contest, these Hei tribe elders had fought bravely and had no fear. But in this place, they were worried for their safety, where did their courage go?
Actually, Hei Lou Lan understood.
During the Imperial Court contest, rewards and punishments were openly issued; people fought to be the first, competing for fame and fortune, to be stronger and to survive.
However, in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, the rewards for passing the stages would go to the tribe leader which caused everyone to have very little incentive to charge through the rounds.
The most important reason was that they had already won the Imperial Court contest and there were no more threats to their survival, and there were also many inheritances outside the sacred palace. As long as they survived this period of time, they were bound to have an even more radiant future when they exited Imperial Court blessed land.
Only fools would do things like abandoning their lives and acting as cannon fodder to help someone else!
Hei tribe's elders were all extremely crafty.
Preserving their lives was most important, and besides that, so what if they were scolded and beaten by Hei Lou Lan? Even if Hei Lou Lan heavily injured them and they had to lie on the bed, it was nothing compared to dying.
Hei Lou Lan was aware of the elders' thoughts.
'Even if I am a rank five expert, I cannot control their will. Once there is no unity, it will not be easy to lead even if the tribe is stronger. Never mind…'
Hei Lou Lan sighed inwardly and spoke: "Since it is so, then I can only open up Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and gather everyone's strength to charge through the rounds."
Requesting outside help required guest tokens.
But right now, besides Hei tribe, there were also other Huang Jin tribes like Ye Lui tribe, Ma tribe and so on in Imperial Court blessed land.
One could imagine that once Hei Lou Lan opens up Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to them, these people would definitely charge forward madly. With this, they could be the cannon fodder.
After hearing Hei Lou Lan's words, the elders exchanged veiled communication with each other through their gazes. This method allowed them to stay away from the vanguard position, but they were somewhat unwilling.
The first elder Hei Pei stepped forward: "Lord tribe leader, this is a clever method but we need to keep up our guard. These people might have the old ancestor's bloodline running through them, but they are not of our Hei tribe. When they pass the rounds and get the benefits, I am afraid they won't hand over anything."
"That's right, lord." Elder Hei Qi Sheng also added, "Our Hei tribe racked our brains and suffered great difficulties before we were able to emerge as the winner in this time's Imperial Court contest. This Eighty-Eight True Yang Building is ours, why should we share it with outsiders?"
"There are precedents of such actions, but when looking at history, those were all weak tribes who won by fluke and did not have the ability to get through the stages, so they had no choice but to mobilize other Huang Jin tribes. Our Hei tribe is strong and has many competent experts, how can we seek other's help?"
"Hmph!" Hei Lou Lan raised his brows, "Since our troops are strong, why are we not able to challenge even one golden-white tiger phantom? You group of dogshit trash, only cherishing your lives dearly, but when I want to bring in outsiders to stake their lives for us, you are afraid of them taking the benefits? Do you think there is such a good thing in this world?"
Different from these elders, Hei Lou Lan was already feeling very anxious.
He was the possessor of Great Strength True Martial physique and must obtain a strength path Immortal Gu to advance to Gu Immortal.
Only by becoming an immortal, could he alleviate this threat to his life.
Although they were defeated repeatedly at this round, Hei Lou Lan thought of it as a good opportunity.
He took the chance to create difficulty and shouted once again.
His furious shouts resounded in the hall, causing everyone's ears to hear buzzing.
Due to Hei Lou Lan's might and terrifying reputation, the elders could only choose to compromise.
The first elder Hei Pei said with worry: "Opening Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to others is like letting in a torrent, once its momentum increases, it will definitely cause disastrous losses. I suggest we place some limits. Wolf King Chang Shan Yin was a lesson that is right before us."
These words immediately caused an intense commotion among the elders.
Someone said with a bitter tone: "Right, Wolf King is really a hoodlum, he is hogging the benefits all to himself. Right now, he is in closed-door cultivation, maybe inwardly laughing to himself!"
Someone scoffed with disdain: "Eighty-Eight True Yang Building belongs to Hei tribe, we let him participate to tackle the round because we thought highly of him. But he repays us like this, hmph, what dogshit northern plains hero, he is just an ungrateful thief!"
Someone said with a cold and gloomy gaze: "In my opinion, when we open up Eighty-Eight True Yang Building this time, we should not bring Chang Shan Yin in. This will teach him a lesson!"
Hei Lou Lan coldly snorted, he was naturally greatly dissatisfied with Fang Yuan's behavior. If it was someone else, he would have already taken action.
But Chang Shan Yin was not a measly character, his bearing in the decisive battle of the Imperial Court contest was still deeply engraved in Hei Lou Lan's mind.
However, openly excluding Chang Shan Yin was not appropriate as well. Not only would that be a display of narrow-mindedness, in case Wolf King was offended, even if Chang Shan Yin did not make a move, he still had the azure wolf group.
"First elder Hei Pei, since you mentioned this, then let's hear it." Hei Lou Lan spoke.
He paused before continuing: "As for outsiders that want to enter the tower, they need to pay a high price to purchase our guest tokens!"
Every elder present at the scene immediately had bright gazes as they praised this suggestion.
Hei Lou Lan swept over the scene once before leaning back on his chair, slowly closing his eyes: "Alright, this matter shall be done as Hei Pei says."
Hei Pei was exulted: "Lord tribe leader is wise and powerful, thank you lord tribe leader for your appreciation."
The news of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building opening to the outside spread and immediately caused a huge sensation in the sacred palace.
Countless people rushed to the place of registration; one side cursed Hei tribesmen for their ruthlessness in asking such a greatly high fee, while another side paid generously and even fought others for a quota to enter. Fang Yuan observed indifferently, but he was inwardly happy.
Right now, inheriting Di Qiu inheritance was of the utmost priority to him.
Even if Hei Lou Lan took the initiative to invite him, he would not have been very willing. While the others had their attentions on Eighty-Eight True Yang Building now, it was the perfect time for him to make his move on the inheritance!
